Breaking the chain of repeat offences Kourier-Standard Staff

This week the Kanata Kourier-Standard presents the first of a four-part series about recidivism and efforts to curb the rate of criminal reoffences in Ontario.

Over the next month, we will explore issues such as the treatment of offenders with mental-health problems and at-risk support for sex offenders.

In part one, reporters Brier Dodge and Jennifer

McIntosh spoke with offenders who have been in and out of the provincial and federal jail systems, as well as corrections officers at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre.

The feature examines how the government’s tough-on-crime legislation has put a strain on provincial and federal jails, which struggle to provide rehabilitative programs to inmates.

News - The Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice will open its doors to the community during Hospice Care Ottawa’s first ever annual general meeting at its Katimavik location on Sept. 22.

Though fundraising to construct the livein section of the hospice continues, renovations to the former church building have been completed, and a day program is set to move into the building by mid-October, said Hospice Care Ottawa executive director Lisa Sullivan.

Workers and volunteers at the hospice have been holding small events at the building over the summer in an effort to make the hospice part of the community.

Sullivan said the open house, starting at 3 p.m. at the hospice located at 110 McCurdy Dr., will be the first public event that community members can come to and find out what Hospice Care Ottawa is doing at the site.

Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice to start offering day programs Continued from page 3

“We will have goodies and give little tours and let people know what the expansion plans are,” she said. “The open house is really to give members of the community a chance to see what’s going on inside.”

Also coming to the hospice for the first time will be a day program, allowing up to 20 people reaching the end of their life to spend a day of socializing, participating in music and art therapy and other activities at the hospice, while simultaneously giving caregivers a day of respite.

“The day hospice program is designed for people who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness, but are still able to live at home with support,” said Sullivan.

“The idea is to provide social support so that there is the opportunity to talk and connect with people who might be experiencing the same concern about end of life issues,” she said. “We have about 20 people in each day, and we hope to get three days running it at the RuddyShenkman site at some point,

but we are starting with the one day.”

The current day program group will be relocated from the Bell’s Corners United Church to the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice, meaning no new spots will be available until the organization can secure more funds, said Sullivan.

Each day of the day program costs about $1,000, she said, and while Hospice Care Ottawa is applying for government funding, there is no guarantee it will secure the necessary funds.

Donations to the hospice can be made to the day program, as well as to the Hospice Ottawa West Capital Campaign which is a specific fundraising campaign to construct the livein portion of the hospice.

The campaign has raised about $4.8 million, with the fundraising goal being $6.2 million, said Sullivan.

Donors like John Ruddy and William Shenkman (for whom the hospice is named) have been extremely generous, but “We need a final push,” said Sullivan.

The overarching goal of the hospice is to keep people living at home for as long as possible

through in-home programing and the hospice day program, said Sullivan. “(Providing that support) has an impact on how many people have to end up in hospital, how many caregivers fall ill or sick because they have overextended themselves, and it also has an impact on caregivers, we find, in the bereavement and grief process as well,” she said.

This is largely accomplished through volunteers, said Sullivan, as well as the hospices’ donors, the Bruyère Foundation which has been promoting the Capital Campaign in partnership with Hospice Care Ottawa, and many others who donated their time and skills to renovate the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice.

To find out more about how hospice care is changing, the organization’s AGM starting at 6:30 p.m. will include a talk by Dr. José Pereira.

“He’s been a real leader in terms of being able to identify the needs for more hospice beds and support us in getting that going, so he is going to be talking about what’s happening in hospice palliative care,” said Sullivan.

News - The new residential hospice to serve the west Ottawa area is now even closer to reality thanks to golfers in the fourth annual Lennox Sterling Memorial “Holes for Hospice” tournament last Friday.

A total of $46,000 was raised in this tournament, bringing the amount raised by this tournament over four years for the Hospice Care Ottawa capital campaign for the new residential hospice to just shy of $200,000.

And it’s not stopping here, as the date has already been set for next year’s fifth annual “Holes for Hospice” tournament which will be held on Friday, Sept.

18, again at the Loch March Golf and Country Club in rural Kanata which has been the site of all of these tournaments.

At the windup dinner at the tournament, Lisa Sullivan, who is executive director of Hospice Care Ottawa, expressed the hope that the six million dollar capital fundraising campaign for the new residential hospice aspect of the new Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata will be completed by this December so that construction can get underway.

It was only at last year’s tournament that the purchase of this new Kanata site for a hospice at 110 McCurdy Drive in Kanata was announced. Since then, renovations of the former church facility on the site have been undertaken, providing office space there for Hospice Care Ottawa staff.

Ms. Sullivan announced at this year’s tournament that this fall a community hospice program will be launched at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice, providing more hospice services to the area.

Again this year there was a silent auction associated with the tournament, with a host of items up for grabs.

This annual “Holes for Hospice” golf tournament is named after Lennox Sterling, a Richmond resident who received end-of-life care at a hospice in Ottawa. This experience made ensuring more hospice beds in the Ottawa area a cause of importance to Lennox’s family and friends. The result was this annual tournament to raise

SPORTS

Students of the game Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Sports - As students get back into the swing of school, some are choosing to bring more sports into their academic lives.

Of the dozens of public and Catholic schools throughout the city, some offer programs allowing students to focus on a particular sport, not to mention several private sports academies that offer specialized sports training along with the regular slate of academic classes.

But, in going above and beyond with young athletes, these programs do not put academics on the back burner, said directors of both Peak Academy in Kanata and Louis Riel secondary school’s sport study program in Blackburn Hamlet.

“In terms of academics, there is no cutting back. That’s a misconception,” said Joé Fournier, director for Louis Riel’s sport study program.

Rather than having students focus on their sport above all else, these programs expect a strong work ethic in the classroom and on the field for the privilege of doing what they

love, they said.

That is exactly what is being delivered said students from both Peak Academy and Louis Riel, who said their academics are just as important to them as their sport, and can even make them better athletes.

GOING PRIVATE

Peak Academy is a private, sports-skills development school located in the Bell Sensplex near Terry Fox and Palladium drives.

The academy began with a single class of a handful of Grade 5 students in 2010, and now has 50 to 60 students from grades 5 to 10. The school expects to offer grades 5 to 12 in the next two years.

The academy allows students to specialize in a particular sport, putting aside 100 hours or more of yearly skills training per year for every student, with strength conditioning on top of that.

While the school tends to have a strong contingent of hockey players, the academy can help students train for any sport, said the academy’s director, Ken Brunet.

Ryan Horvath began going

THE OTTAWA VALLEY MUSIC FESTIVAL PETER MORRIS, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR PRESENTS

to the school in Grade 7 to advance his hockey skills and is now a member of Peak Academy’s Grade 10 class. He said that while balancing athletics and academics can be a challenge, it’s one he takes on with gusto.

“If I go out and get a 90 on a test, I have the same sense of pride as if I go out and get a hat trick in a game,” he said. “If we lose in a game seven in the play-offs, I would feel the same was as if I were to get like a 60 on a test, which doesn’t really happen, but if it did, it would be the same feeling.”

Brunet said one of the advantages the academy has is getting to athletes at a young age. Every student participates in strength training, said Brunet, but the program is tailored to their age and individual needs.

This is important for developing specific physical abilities before the body is no longer able to develop them, he said.

“For example, if somebody does not develop their speed between the ages of six and nine, they will never have speed,” he said. “They will have passed their window of trainability.”

The program is gruelling, and while instructors don’t expect students to all become elite athletes, requirements to get into the school are strong personal motivation and commitment to athletic development, as well as school marks in the A and B range.

While Brunet said the academy goes above and beyond with its sports training, the academic side of things is not lost.

The only difference is that we have smaller class sizes.”

Horvath said the school places emphasis on academics, and that working hard in class is just part of the deal. “You have to have a dedication to academics to make it all work out,” he said.

Students spend a minimum of four hours a day on academic school work, and homework is not given to students in grades 5 to 8 if they finish their

work during school hours.

The program recently saw success for seven of its 12 Grade 9 student-athletes, who were drafted at the Junior A hockey level this summer, said Brunet, including Horvath, who was selected by the Kanata Lasers.

The school also scored in the top five per cent of the Canadian Achievement Tests among private and public schools across the country, he said.

Tuition for the school ranges between $15,500 and $16,000.

PUBLIC SCHOOL SPORT STUDY

Louis Riel secondary school has been offering a sports study program since 2005. The program, which includes grades 9 to 12, gives students an hour per day for skills instruction in their particular sport and physical fitness training on top of their regular school work.

Students take three hourlong classes ever morning (a half hour less than other students), and then spend an hour in sports training and finish the day with an hour-long study group class that supplements the half hour lost in the morning classes.

The program offers concentrations in soccer, basketball, volleyball, alpine skiing, track and field, and hockey, said Fournier. The school can also offer credits for club-athletes for sports not offered in the school, he said.

The sport etude program requires that students maintain a 70 per cent average and pass a tryout to get in.

emphasis on athletics, both directors said academics don’t take a back seat.

Rather, students are expected to achieve in both sides of the programs, said Brunet, Fournier, and their students.

Academic excellence is still the emphasis for postsecondary sports programs, said the University of Ottawa’s sports and recreation assistant director, Colin Timm.

“Right now we are trying to recruit anybody who has an 80 per cent or higher (grade point average),” he said.

“That is our target population for a recruit, because that means they are going to have the best chance of succeeding in the classroom.

“The only way you are going to create a team that is sustainable and garner success over the long term, is if the academics are taken care of.”

Kaitlyn Ball, a Grade 11 student in the soccer sports study program, said the combination of academic study and athletics has made her more than just an athlete, but a student of the game.

The program helps athletes to apply a study mentality to their sport and develop mentally, she said.

While Peak Academy fits both the athletics and academics into a regular school day, the sport study program at Louis Riel has junior-high students give up gym classes for their sports specialization, while senior high students sacrifice an elective.

But the program still demands academic excellence, said Ball.

“It’s a privilege to be here,” she said. “It’s something that you need to earn to be able to be here.”

The program now sees about 200 to 250 students take part, and has had several students go onto professional level athletic careers, including the Ottawa Fury’s goalkeeper, Chad Bush.

But a professional career is not the only mark of success, said Fournier.

“Our goal since day one was to help every student reach the highest level they can possibly reach,” he said.

For Ball, that means playing university soccer and eventually taking a shot at the Olympics.

But she could just as easily earn a degree and start a career, she said. “I could go either direction and I would be completely happy,” she said.

Tuition for the program ranges between approximately $650 and $1,000, said Fournier.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Cycling with caution

T

he death of a cyclist in an Ottawa charity bike ride on Sept. 6 has sparked a flurry of discussion concerning bike safety.

Laurie Strano, 40, was killed in a crash with a garbage truck on River Road, south of Manotick, while participating in the fifth-annual Ride the Rideau, a fundraiser for cancer research run by the Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

It’s still too early to make any decisions about the future of the event, as Ottawa police are still investigating the crash, Tim Kluke, president and CEO of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation said during a Sept. 8 press conference.

But there are a few obvious considerations about the event, which should already be under discussion.

First, the route: event organizers might want to consider a different location for the event, one that is further removed from traffic speeding along at 80 kilometres an hour and sometimes greater speeds.

River Road only has two vehicle lanes and no designated bicycle lane, making it a tight fit

between cyclists and passing cars. It only takes one distracted moment, either on the part of the motorist or the cyclist, for a collision to occur.

Ride the Rideau already has a number of safety measures in place: police were contracted to work several intersections to watch over a portion of the ride – but they were located north of where the crash occurred.

The foundation’s safety measures included some 300 volunteers, many of whom acted as ride-along guides, and eight police officers.

Part of the problem lies squarely in the lap of the cyclists, suggested several of the participants of the event on the Ride the Rideau Facebook page.

One competitor said he saw several competitors “blow right through� four way stops.

Others complained about the fact the event went on despite rainfall in the morning. But even if organizers were unable to change the behaviour of cyclists, Ride the Rideau would become a much safer event if organizers simply selected a different route.

Becoming alarmed by the silence

A

car alarm went off the other day in the neighbourhood. It didn’t last long, just six honks. Car alarms used to go on for hours, or so it seemed. This one was, however briefly, unnerving and annoying, but – the thought suddenly occurred – it was rare. Yeah: we don’t hear them that much anymore.

For which we can be grateful.

It wasn’t long ago the peace of the evening was frequently broken by the steady honking of a distressed automobile, waiting, as we all were, for its owner to do something about it.

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but it’s interesting to know why all that should suddenly cease.

Looking for an answer, you type a couple of phrases into Google, where

enon about fewer car alarms going off. Some speculate that car alarm technology has improved – in other words that birds and specks of dust and clouds passing overhead don’t set the horn to honking any more.

Technology has made a difference in another way as well. Cars, we learn, are harder to steal, mostly due to innovations that have nothing to do with alarms. Newer cars are built with systems that keep them from starting unless the driver uses a key recognized by the built-in computer.

And there’s tracking technology available too. Because of this some manufacturers have stopped putting noise-making alarms on their cars.

So maybe there are fewer cars with alarms, and maybe fewer people are trying to steal the cars.

bear out this last point. It’s intriguing what you can find out just looking for a couple of facts about car alarms.

What you find out, courtesy of The Economist, is that crime has been in a steady decline all around the world since the 1950s, and nowhere is this more evident than in the area of automobile theft.

In New York, the annual number of car thefts has dropped by 93 per cent over the past 20 years. In England and Wales, 400,000 cars were reported stolen in 1997; in 2012, the number was just 86,000. Who says there’s no good news in the paper?

Certain questions remain. Can we really believe that the welcome silence in our neighbourhoods is solely due to a world-wide trend away from grand theft auto? What about the well-grounded suspicion that most car alarms are set off by law-abiding people doing something silly with their car keys?

One possible explanation is that manufacturers have made car keys more idiot-proof. The other possible explanation is that we have made ourselves more idiot-proof. Could that be true? If so, a celebration is in order. Just don’t honk your horn.

OPINION

Adulthood postponed

A

t what point can we consider one mature enough to be called an adult?

It used to be simply an age factor. At 18, you can vote and many move away from home to go to university or into the workforce, so I used to think that’s when it began.

But there’s nothing like witnessing the experiences of the latest group of 18year-olds just starting their first year of college and university to help one realize that adulthood is definitely more than just a number these days.

And it’s very likely much higher than 18 for many in our midst.

Labour Day Weekend, a friend saw her son off to college residence.

“Despite the number of emails we received from the college, most parents are all frazzled and don’t know where to park,” she wrote.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

“The poor kids.”

The poor kids?

“Maybe the kids, who are actually adults, can comfort their frazzled parents,” I quipped back.

But a few days later, I sat in on a first-year psychology lecture at a university and I realized perhaps it was a misnomer to call these 18year-old kids adults. It was the orientation. There must have been 150 students in the lecture hall. The professor very slowly and carefully walked them step-by-step through the syllabus over ninety minutes. A big yawn, right?

Pretty much, except for the comments from the first years when they realized

they’d have to read 50 entire pages of a textbook in order to succeed in the course.

“Oh my goodness,” said one. “That’s so much work!”

“Fifty pages,” said another. “How will we find time for that?” And then she posted it on Facebook.

With their first multiple choice exam scheduled three weeks hence, I can just imagine how many phone calls from parents the professor can expect to receive, demanding a delay or even a rewrite after the fact.

The reality is that many parents today are not setting their kids up for the level of responsibility and discipline required to succeed in postsecondary institutions.

But the institutions aren’t stupid. They know kids have changed. They know parents are taking on a greater role in their child’s education.

Rather than let students fail, the institutions have spent a

EARLY BIRD SPECIAL

15

$

lot of money to find creative ways to nurture the relationship with parents.

When I started out in university, I moved myself into residence.

As far as I know, in those days (late 1990s), universities didn’t directly communicate with parents.

Certainly, they didn’t communicate with mine. I received a letter of acceptance in my own name and all the follow-up information posted directly to me. While studying, my relationships with professors reflected that of one adult to another.

If I got a grade I didn’t like, I had to suck it up or try to find ways to improve next time.

Talk to anyone in administration or faculty at a postsecondary institution today, however, and you’ll realize that colleges and universities are not only marketing to parents – as well as prospective students – from the outset, but that they’ve also found ways to stay in constant communication with parents over the course of the student’s academic life.

This includes parent-only web portals, invitations to special events, and in some cases regular emails between professors and parents about a student’s progress.

Parents think they’re doing their adult children a favour, that they’re supporting them by fighting with R0422496643

professors for extra credit opportunities or arranging to have alternative exam times.

But many of these “kids” graduate from university with the same sense of entitlement they had at the beginning, when they start their first career jobs. It’s not unheard of for managers to get disgruntled calls from the parents of twenty-somethings to complain about how their child is being treated at the office.

I’m not sure what that means for the future workforce. Time will tell.

But instinct tells me that maybe, just maybe, parents should consider 18 a good time to start severing the umbilical cord.

LETTER

Ride to Turn the Tide a good news story To the editor:

Year five of the Grassroot Grannies two-anda-half day Ride to Turn the Tide for the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s grandmothers to grandmothers campaign is now history and what a good story it is.

Good weather; safe riding; lots of camaraderie; palpable commitment among the participants; and the most successful ride to date.

Over $52,000 has been raised and it’s not all in yet.

All of the 22 cyclists, but especially the seven cyclists participating for the first time were blown away by the enthusiasm of all involved, by the marvellous hospitality en route, and by the incredible support that the Ride attracted.

The Ride is truly a partnership with several of the granny groups in the region: the Mississippi Grannies in Almonte; the Lanark County Grannies in Perth; the United Church women in Merrickville; and Grannies All About Kids in Metcalfe. The warm reception and terrific food make this tour very special.

This year, three staff members from the Stephen Lewis Foundation participated in the Welcome Home celebration last Friday, noon at the Kanata/Stittsville Bushtukah store, including Graham Coultas, the national director for the grandmothers to grandmothers campaign.

He succinctly described how the foundation

Gerri Lutaaya and Laura Fraser, the two young women from the foundation who cycled with the “team� on the final day, were not seasoned cyclists; however, they both showed an amazing spirit and gamely rode the 52 kilometres.

City councillors, Shad Qadri, Allan Hubley and Marianne Wilkinson have come out to our event over the past five years. We would like to thank them for their continued words of encouragement.

The success of the Ride would not be possible without the people who so generously supported our cyclists.

We have also enjoyed generous support from our corporate sponsors: Bob Laughton, Bushtukah; Joan Smith, Royal LePage; and Renaldo Saikili, Scotia McLeod.

This small but well organized Ride is having a real impact in the target communities. Speaking as a cyclist, it was a blast; as a grandparent, it was an important event to be part of; and as an individual, it was humbling to have such generous support.

Terry Fox Run raises more than $30,000 for cancer research Michael Ward Ottawa West Terry Fox Run

Community - More than 360 participants and their supporters joined more than 25 volunteers at the 34thannual Terry Fox Run in Kanata on Sunday, Sept. 14th.

This year’s run has raised more than $30,000 and since the event started in 1989, it has collected nearly $650,000. The run has raised more than $650 million nationally since it was first held in 1981.

While the day may have started a bit on the chilly side, that was perfect for the avid runners and at least it was dry, given the weather the day before.

Many families brought their kids out to practice for participating in more formal runs, all while supporting a charity that they themselves

hope to never have to rely on.

Organizers were happy with the turnout, given the new location and chilly weather, showing that many folks keep in mind the conditions that Terry faced as he covered marathon distances on a daily basis for months, from April to September 1980.

This was the first year the run was hosted at the Kanata Montessori School on Michael Cowpland Drive, which provides a central but secluded spot with easy access to the Trans Canada Trail, which the run has used for many years.

Local business and organizations continued to support the event, including Brown’s Your Independent Grocer , Laura’s Your Independent Grocer, Sobeys, Loblaws, Metro, and the Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club. All the run sites across Canada are run by volunteers and with spon-

sors, so that none of the donations are used to host the events themselves.

Donations for this year’s efforts can still be made online at terryfox.org, as well as by simply texting the word “terryfox” to 45678 for a $5 donation.

While there are many other initiatives focused on eradicating cancer, the Terry Fox Foundation and its supporters keep their focus squarely on raising funds for research, all while adhering to the same guidelines that Terry used on his Marathon of Hope so many years ago.

During his run, Terry often collected roadside donations, and in this day and age event organizers can reach a much broader audience with social media, making it easier for people to share their stories, gather pledges and organize teams to run for loved friends, colleagues and

family members.

Mark your calendar for next year’s run which is the 35th-anniversary of the event, Sunday Sept.20, 2015. If

you are interested in helping to organize or volunteer, or would like more information, please email kanataTFR@rogers.com.

IS YOU

WINNING…

THE REALITY IS,

YOU’RE HELPING CHEO On August 4, 2013 the Laviolette family was enjoying a fun day on the water when disaster struck. Brad was tubing behind the boat when he fell off and was thrown toward the back of the boat. “He told us that he could see it all happening before him. Brad said that the propeller was coming straight for his stomach. He was strong enough to push away but the propeller hit both his legs,” says dad Rob with emotion in his voice.

Brad was wearing a wet suit which was fortunate for him as it was able to hold his legs in place. Sadly, the propeller severed both his legs and one tibia and he needed to be airlifted to CHEO. Surgeons worked hard to save his legs. He lost 80 percent of his right quadricep muscle and required intensive physiotherapy to help him heal and get mobile again.

Brad is a true superhero! He spent two and half months at CHEO and it was not an easy road but he was a fighter. He began in a wheelchair, graduated to a walker, then crutches and today is standing tall and proud walking on his own two feet unassisted. What true determination!

He’s had multiple surgeries, had a bone infection that required six months of antibiotics and yet this 17-year-old is still smiling. In a recent radio interview

Brad commented on the staff at CHEO. “Doctor Kontio, the nurses on the fifth floor and child life specialist Heather were all so great to me,” said Brad.

“I’ve been fully supported by my family as well.”

“I refer to Bradley as my superhero. His father and I are so proud of him for all he has overcome,” says mom Manon. “Our entire family has been so impressed with the staff at CHEO; from doctors to custodians.

We were informed at every step what was happening with Bradley. The compassion and understanding from all the staff was really comforting.”

The Laviolette family knows all too well that no one knows when they’ll need CHEO. By supporting the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery you make it possible for the staff at CHEO to do their job…saving the lives of children and youth. Just ask Brad.

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO THE TRAUMA TEAM, REHAB TEAM, AND THE FIFTH FLOOR STAFF WHO TOOK CARE OF HIM. THEY SAVED MY SON’S LIFE AND HIS LEGS!

Community garden to celebrate first year with festival Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - Members of the Kanata North Community Garden are celebrating a strong first year with their first-annual harvest festival on Sept. 21.

The event, running from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., is for members of the gardening group as well as the wider community to learn about the project, share free food, find out how the year has gone and learn some gardening science with demonstrations from Smart City Science.

The group’s first season has seen a strong harvest throughout much of the summer, said Ben Spindler, an organizer for the community garden.

Despite what he described as “growing pains,” gardeners have seen some strong yield, possibly even better than was expected, he said.

“It’s been great,” said Spindler, adding that, for his box garden, there had been

some problems with pests eating his beats, but that his cherry tomato plant had produced very well, along with carrots and radishes early in the season.

“Everything was growing really well,” he said. “We are all kind of a bit surprised by how well things were growing.”

The community garden is located in the hydro easement on Klondike Road, which gets more sun than is recommended for most vegetables, said Spindler. But the vegetables seem to be flourishing.

The garden has also been fostering relations between communities, said Spindler.

Members of the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre have been working hard this year, alongside members from the wider community, offering them a chance to practice their English and meet new people.

Both groups have also been donating vegetables to the Kanata Food Cupboard,

which has five garden boxes allotted for their use in the community garden. Spindler said quite a bit of fresh veggies have gone to the food cupboard, and that the community garden should have a final count by the end of the season.

THE FESTIVAL

To celebrate the strong year, the harvest festival will include entertainment from the Chinese seniors in the form of a dance or song or something similar, said Spindler.

There will be free hot dogs, hamburgers and other food donated by Grill Master Catering, as well as potluck food donations.

Smart City Science will be putting on science demonstrations, including some related to gardening science, like the use of solar ovens to dry vegetables. The group will also have hands-on gardening lessons for kids and adults.

A strong first year for the Kanata North Community Garden will be celebrated with the group’s first-annual harvest festival, taking place on Sept. 21.

There will also be a contest for the ugliest veggie.

Anyone interested in becoming a member of the garden for next year is encouraged to come, said Spindler, as there will be

some box gardens available.

The group is also hoping to install more boxes for next year.

The community garden will be taking cash donations as well as donations

of hand tools, shovels and more. Attendees can also bring vegetables and other food items to donate to the Kanata Food Cupboard.

Orienteering Ottawa hosts night event in north Kanata Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

0904.R0012873375

Community - If you live in Beaverbrook or Kanata Lakes and saw small lights flying about on Sept. 13, it wasn’t fairies, aliens or dancing fireflies.

It was orienteers.

Many of Ottawa’s mapsavvy racers took to the dark parks and streets of Beaverbrook on Sept. 13 to participate in a night orienteering race put on by Ottawa Orienteering.

The race, which anyone could participate in, served to start the season for the club, as well as begin to garner enthusiasm for the upcoming North American Orienteering Championships, taking place in the Carp Hills and Arnprior on Thanksgiving weekend.

Orienteering, which has racers figure out the quickest way through checkpoints based only on a map and compass, generally takes place during the day, but the night event served to spice

things up, said Gord Hunter, one of the directors of the event. “(Orienteering) at night time is literally seeing it in a new light,” he said.

The event was likely the first night orienteering event to take place in Kanata, said Hunter. Orienteers good take part in one of four races from 3.3 kilometres for intermediate orienteers to 6.3 kilometres for more experienced participants. There were also daytime races held on Sept.

14, with lengths ranging from 2.7 kilometres to 7.4 kilometres.

The various routes were all in the Beaverbrook and Kanata Lakes areas, from Teron Road in the east to Goulbourn Forced Road in the west. The races began and ended at the Royal Oak on March Road, making for a pleasant change for orienteers who often meet in fields and forests, said Hunter.

That area of Kanata was a particular challenge for orienteers, he said. “Kanata

18 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, September 18, 2014

is ideally suited for navigation issues because there are so many linear parks and pathways, so if you keep going down the wrong one or if you miss a turn off of one you could end up having to go a long way around, so navigation is at a premium,” said Hunter.

Private residences were out of bounds, he said, and night orienteers were required to wear headlamps or bring flashlights, as well as reflective armbands provided

by Safer Roads Ottawa.

Despite some nasty weather on Saturday, the event was a success, said Hunter.

More than 30 people participated in the night event, and 86 participated in the day time events. Orienteers came from as far as Montréal and Rochester, New York, to compete. Participants came back with stories of wildlife encounters, mistaking the animals’ eyes for the reflective material placed on the route flags, only to see their goal hop away from them.

While presenting a new problem for orienteers, Hunter said the event was fun for all.

TOP TIMES

In the 6.3-kilometre night race, Jeff Teutsch from Ottawa Orienteering took first with a time of 39 minutes and 27 seconds. Second was Alexander Bergstrom followed

by Philippe Cote-Jacques.

In the 4.9-kilometre night race, Paul Heuts from Ottawa Orienteering took first with a time of 34 minutes and 53 seconds. Second was Bruce Glen from Montreal followed by Ken Moore from Ottawa Orienteering.

In the 3.3-kilometre night race, Francis Falardeau from Montreal took first with a time of 17 minutes and 25 seconds. Second was Philippe Cote-Jacques followed by Paul Heuts.

Shirley’s Brook resident and musician Angelique Francis performs ‘Fever’ in her living room on Sept. 12 after placing second in the RBC Emerging Artist Music Mentorship Prize competition.

Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Arts - Out of hundreds of worthy applicants, Kanata musician Angelique Francis was one of five chosen to perform on the same bill as dozens of Canadian music icons at the fifth-annual Canada’s Walk of Fame Festival running from Sept.

22-24.

The honour was given to her after finishing second out of hundreds of applicants in the RBC Emerging Artist Music Mentorship Prize competition.

Francis, a 16-year-old Shirley’s Brook singer with strong vocal ability and a passion for varied musical instruments, said she was thrilled to be chosen from among hundreds of deserving artists, and was excited to get to perform in Toronto at David Pecaut Square during the festival which features only Canadian artists.

“I was really happy and surprised (to place second),” said Angelique.

“There were so many people who applied for it, and to think that I could get it when I’m only in high school, it was just amazing.”

Then again, Angelique has been astounding crowds and winning contests for years now. At 16-years-old, Angelique has already had years to hone her craft, with her musical talent showing itself at age seven when she performed the national anthem

for the televised opening of Jack Donohue Public School in Morgan’s Grant.

That’s when her parents realized they had more than just an enthusiastic singer on their hands.

“She was always singing around the house,” said Angelique’s father, Kiran Francis.

“We’ve always had a home studio,” he said. “I was big into music and she always wanted to come in and sing and make music, and we just kind of let her.”

But, with her parents having stressed her education over everything else, Angelique was reluctant to tell them she had auditioned without their knowledge and been chosen to sing O’ Canada for her school opening.

“Then we were like, ‘OK, I want to hear you sing it,’” said Francis. “She sang it and both her mom and I, we just kind of broke down,” he said. “It was amazing, and she was like, ‘OK, this is what I want to do.’”

After assuring themselves that Angelique was determined to develop her music, her parents proposed a deal: “Learn an instrument, keep your grades at an A level, and if the grades fall, then too bad,” said Francis. “That music thing is finished.”

Wearing a contented father smile, Francis went on to say, “She has lived up to that expectation to this day.”

Kanata musician second in Walk of Fame talent contest Her music may have even helped her grades, said Angelique. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once I started in music, I started getting better in subjects such as science and math and everything,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just really enhances the brain.â&#x20AC;?

Angelique went on to learn to play the piano and the guitar, and a host of other instruments including drums, harmonica and the upright bass.

She drew upon a mix of jazz, blues, R&B, soul, folk, rock, and reggae to start writing her own music.

Though a shy young lady at heart, rather than shrinking from the stage, Angelique reveled in public performances from the very beginning, she said.

Singing and making music is her way of communicating, said her father, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been that way since she was a kid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If she had a problem, she would put it in music,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At some point, too, when she was younger, it was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, you are going to be disciplined for something, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hear a song about it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? laughed Francis.

Now, Angelique has a catalogue of more than 300 original songs, some of which come to her out of nowhere, she said, while most are about how she feels about something sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen or an emotion.

Angeliqueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rise has been steady, starting with just a couple gigs every few months to several a week, while opening for major acts

and meeting some of the performers she has looked up to for years.

With the young artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skills becoming more and more in demand as her status as a musician continues to grow, the fact that she placed highly in another musical contest is perhaps not surprising.

While making music is her passion, performing for others is what gives it meaning, she said.

Though she won a cash prize of $5,000 for second place in this latest competition, money isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really the object, she said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making that connection with a crowd and sharing her feelings and beliefs in the best way she knows how. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to just keep performing,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m actually a very shy person,â&#x20AC;? said Angelique. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m kind of awkward, but I express myself better in my music than I do in dayto-day life, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you are able to do something you love and share it with people who also enjoy what you are doing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole different feeling from when you are doing normal things. You can feel like everything is just glowing in that moment,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just love it.â&#x20AC;?

Angelique Francis stands in her living room, holding her upright bass on Sept. 12, one of many instruments she has learned to play as a singer and musician, including the piano, guitar, drums and harmonica.

Metroland East Special Report

JAIL BREAK

Rehab programs feel the crunch Canada’s jails are bursting at the seams. Federal and provincial correctional facilities are struggling to meet the rising intake of inmates, the result of federal government toughon-crime legislation. A Metroland East special report shows rehabilitation and treatment programs have taken a backseat to the push for prison expansion. In the first of a fourpart series, we look at how prisoners are struggling to find employment and addiction-treatment support.

Brier Dodge and Jennifer McIntosh

T

he first time Dan Parlow went to jail, he was 16 years old.

“I was a boy, going to a man’s prison,” said Parlow, who was convicted of robbery and served time at the Guelph Correctional Institute.

Instead of being rehabilitated, Parlow said he felt like he was sent to a university of crime.

Over the last three decades, Parlow, 49, has served time at four federal penitentiaries, provincial jails, and has stayed at several halfway houses.

“A lot of it was robbery or assaultrelated – some firearms stuff,” he said.

But he said some of the circumstances in his early life led him down that path.

Parlow, originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., said he grew up in a tumultuous home environment.

His father left when he was five years old, leaving the kids with his alcoholic mother.

Parlow said he was physically, emotionally and sexually abused both in the home and after he entered the foster-care system. He committed robbery at the age of 16 after leaving foster care and finding himself homeless.

“All these things were precursors to the life I would lead later,” he said.

He started using substances to help him cope: first alcohol, and eventually heroin.

Once an offender enters the system, the first conviction will often echo through the rest of their life.

Parlow has been out of jail on his statutory release since July 2013 – his longest stretch of parole in a long time.

He currently lives at the Ottawa Mission and is participating in its Lifehouse drug-treatment program and is studying criminology at Car-

The number of inmates in federal prisons is at an all-time high with more than 15,000 this year. Between 2003 and 2013, the federal prison population has risen by 16.5 per cent, close to 2,100 inmates. Critics blame the jump on mandatory sentencing and the federal government’s Truth in Sentencing Act, which eliminated the two-for-one credit for time served before conviction.

Part 1: A look at the trickle-down effect from Canada’s new tough-on-crime laws on prisoners seeking rehabilitation support. leton University.

The federal government’s “toughon-crime” legislation, which pushes mandatory minimum sentencing and stiffer punishments, doesn’t help deal with the root issues of crime or why parolees reoffend, Parlow said.

“There’s a moral panic going on,” Parlow said. “Crime rates have been on the decline since the ’60s, but there’s still bottlenecking in the system and a real tough-on-crime attitude.”

Offenders face large barriers in turning their lives around in prison due to a lack of programming – including drug and alcohol rehabilitation – in both jail and the community,

said Parlow.

His experience isn’t unique.

According to the annual federal prison ombudsman’s 2011-12 report, almost two-thirds of federal offenders reported being under the influence of drugs or alcohol when they committed the crime for which they were incarcerated. Four out of five offenders come to jail with a history of substance abuse.

Parlow said inmates’ reduced access to rehabilitative programs can be linked to overcrowding.

CROWDED SPACES

Over the past decade, Ontario pris-

ons have seen a large increase in the number of inmates.

Federal penitentiaries, which take in prisoners serving sentences two years or longer, have seen incarcerated populations increase by 2,100 inmates, or 16.5 per cent, from 2003 to 2013.

Meanwhile, provincial jails are experiencing explosive growth in the number of inmates remanded in custody, while awaiting trial or bail hearing.

On any given day in 2012-13, 25,208 people were detained in Canada’s provincial and territorial jails according to Set up to Fail: Bail and the Revolving Door of Pre-trial Detention, a report released in July 2014 by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and Education Trust.

More than half of those inmates were awaiting trial or a bail hearing.

Canada’s remand rate has tripled over the past three decades – but this is not the result of a rise in the nation’s crime rate, which has been falling for the past two decades.

Aaron Doyle, a criminology professor at Carleton University, has spent the past year studying overcrowding

conditions at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre.

The centre has been overcrowded for years, with three and sometimes four inmates living in cells designed for one or two, he said.

“Two-thirds to three-quarters of the prisoners in the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre are on remand, which means they’re just awaiting their day in court – they actually haven’t been convicted of anything,” said Doyle, a founding member of the Criminalization and Punishment Education Project, made up of faculty and students from Carleton and the University of Ottawa.

Meanwhile, they’re getting very little in the way of programming because of overcrowding, he said.

“Some of them are in and out of court 10 times and will spend months and over a year in there just waiting to get their case settled,” said Doyle.

The project is planning to release a report about conditions at the Ottawa detention centre this fall.

At the federal level, Correctional Service Canada spends approximately three per cent of its $2.5-billion annual budget on core rehabilitative programs, such as anger management and programs for substance abuse and sexual offenders.

Federal inmates have access to a variety of substance-abuse programs, including coping strategies for offenders undergoing methadone treatment, and national substance-abuse programs.

Most penitentiaries offer Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous groups, Véronique Rioux, a spokeswoman for Correctional Service Canada, said in an email.

“Overall research shows that offenders who complete CSC’s substance-abuse programs are significantly less likely to return to custody with new offences and less likely to return with new violent offences,” she said.

“Over the past five to 10 years, programs and services have not been reduced, but rather improved to ensure that they are continuously targeting the specific needs of inmates,” she said.

Brent Ross, spokesman for Ontario’s Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, said $24 million is spent annually on skilldevelopment and rehabilitation programs, which have reduced recidivism rates for the inmates who participate.

“These people talk a big game about these programs, but they don’t work,” said Jody Faucher, who is currently incarcerated at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre awaiting trial on fraud charges.

Faucher has a rap sheet “at least 11 pages long,” and has faced 150 charges – mostly fraud-related – throughout his life since he first landed in jail at the age of 15.

Faucher has been conning people for decades to pay for his cocaine addiction. Now, at the age of 44, he’s decided to seek help to get himself clean and back on the right path.

Given a choice between an early release and probation or a lengthier commitment to a drug-treatment program, he said he would opt for treatment.

When he last appeared in court, Faucher said he asked to go to a 26 week drug-treatment program.

But his request was denied because a judge ruled Faucher wouldn’t be sufficiently monitored and may return to criminal activities if given pay phone access, as he in the past has used phone scams to con jewellery stores out of thousands of dollars.

“I know I have a chance. I have a brain, I have a future,” said Faucher. “I’m asking for help, I don’t understand why I can’t have help.”

He’s had periods of sobriety before, but he said his emotional struggles led him back to using drugs.

“I was strung out on cocaine, my son died, I got served with divorce papers,” he said.

Faucher has been in and out of the Innes Road jail more times than he can count, but he said treatment programs are limited. Wait lists are long, and with every repeat visit he says he sees resources shrink and programs disappear. Sporadic Alcoholics Anonymous meetings do little, he said.

Because of his consistent reappearance at the jail, Faucher said he thinks the system has given up on him.

“I want to clear up my demons.

The drugs, the criminal thinking, the death of my son,” he said. “I think the chances are high I’ll end up back here if I don’t get help.”

According to the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, 52 per cent of the province’s current 61,303 inmates, both in custody and under community supervision will reoffend within two years of being released.

Often inmates can continue to

Karen White-Jones, manager of addiction services at the Ottawa Mission, says many of her clients are former prison inmates. use while inside jail. The federal prisons ombudsman’s report says the presence of homemade alcohol and illicit drugs in federal prisons are still a major safety and security challenge, despite the zero-tolerance stance taken by Correctional Service Canada.

The federal department’s budget for substance-abuse programming fell from $11.6 million in 2011-12 to $9.6 million in 2012-13.

REHAB PROGRAMS NEEDED

Critics say rehabilitation has taken a backseat to mandatory minimum sentencing and that the corrections system is doing less and less correcting.

Rebecca Jesseman, research and policy analyst for the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, said the majority of offenders are currently actively using or have a history of substance abuse. She said offenders often have complex needs regarding resources, but policy can fall victim to ideology.

“Not-for-profits that offer services are struggling for funding,” Jesseman said. “Offenders with addictions issues are dealing with a double stigma. There’s a fear of crime in our society and people still feel like substance abuse is a choice you make.”

Jesseman said overcrowding in jails means dwindling programming space and an increased demand on staff.

“Mandatory minimums and stricter conditions on parole eligibility have an impact at all levels,” she said.

Once offenders are released they need the tools to comply with their conditions, she said.

“There needs to be a formal period of treatment, not just setting a condition, that sets people up to fail,” she said. “Giving people the

tools they need and addressing the risk factors is important.”

Private programs, such as those run by the Ottawa Mission, have emerged as some of the only options for rehabilitative programs and services following cuts to programs and services in jails.

“And all of this is happening while the prison population itself is growing,” said Howard Sapers, the federal prisons ombudsman. “So it’s a bit of a double-whammy.”

Karen White-Jones, manager of addiction services at the Ottawa Mission, said many of their clients are former prison inmates.

The Mission currently operates a day program, a dry wing, a stabilization program and the Lifehouse residential program to help former offenders.

“We have a lot of former inmates in the day program, because of the lack of affordable housing.

A lot of guys getting discharged from jail end up in the shelter and hear about the day program.”

The day program is a drop-in clinic; the dry wing offers a place to stay with other people trying to get clean. The stabilization program offers detoxification treatment that typically lasts 30 days. The Lifehouse program, which Parlow is currently attending, is five months long and offers housing to help clients with reintegration.

“People leaving jails or prisons may have been abstinent or modified their use, but they haven’t learned the skills to maintain that,” White-Jones said.

And parolees are displaced, often fearful of how they’ll function in the real world, she said.

“A lot of people who have been institutionalized long-term have real fear,” White-Jones said. “They might be doing well on their addiction or anger management, but there’s still a lot they don’t know about day-to-day life.”

White-Jones said every program at the Mission has a wait list.

“As soon as a bed empties, there’s someone to fill it,” she said.

The popularity of these programs isn’t surprising to WhiteJones, who said a lot of organizations are struggling to fill the need with limited resources.

Prison employment and education programs have also been underfunded and post-secondary education is next to impossible with no Internet access, according to many critics of the federal corrections system.

In 2009, the federal government announced a plan to eliminate six prison farms, a program that of-

fered employment and life skills.

CORCAN, a prison work program provided by Correctional Service Canada, employs inmates around the country in industrialbased jobs, but the positions are few and far between, said Sapers in his recent annual report.

“When I visit an institution, typically I’ll see maybe half a dozen guys in the yard with a broom all sweeping the same area of the yard because it’s the only employment that they have,” Sapers said.

“It’s not very meaningful employment.”

Without the proper treatment or programs, it’s normal to see offenders cycle through the jail several times without receiving any rehabilitation programs, said Denis Collin, Ontario Public Service Employees Union local unit president for the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre.

“Mandatory minimums and stricter conditions on parole eligibility have an impact on all levels.”

REBECCA JESSEMAN, ANALYST, CANADIAN CENTRE ON SUBSTANCE ABUSE

Collin has worked as a correctional officer for 13 years, including at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre and the former Rideau Correctional Treatment Centre.

The treatment centre had programs, ranging from workshops to a working farm.

“You had all sorts of programs, where at least when the offender would be coming out and had served their time, you would give them hope and some sort of option or direction to have some options once they leave,” he said. “And the word “corrections” is exactly that.

It’s meant to correct behaviour and meant to try and give people some resources to move their life forward.”

City gives anti-landfill group another $25,000 Community group has received $75,000 in taxpayer-funded grants to fight facility developer Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News -The city is bolstering a community effort to fight a proposed landfill in Carlsbad Springs to the tune of $25,000.

The recent top-up in a grant city council gave to Capital Region Citizens Coalition for the Protection of the Environ-

ment brings the total funding to $75,000 of taxpayers’ dollars.

The money allows the group to hire experts in hydrogeology, biology and other fields to review environmental assessment documents – something members would be hard-pressed to do on their own, said Susanne Langlois, president of the group.

“I’m up against Goliath here,” she said.

Langlois recently brought a copy of the draft environmental assessment with her to a meeting of the agriculture and rural affairs committee.

The voluminous tome, commissioned by the proponent of the waste facility, TaggartMiller, filled six large binders with dense technical information.

Being able to spend some

of the initial $50,000 the city gave to the group allowed it to hire an expert who flagged a major discrepancy in the data regarding how long it would take water to penetrate the bedrock.

While Taggart-Miller’s consultants estimated 500 years, the CRCCPE’s consultant said the calculations used were flawed, meaning the water could reach the bedrock in 50 years.

“There are a heck of a lot of assumptions and no data to back them up,” Langlois said.

“I wouldn’t be able to do this without this money.”

The group has also fundraised about $10,000 on its own, Langlois said.

Having another set of experts arguing against the landfill is in the city’s best interests, said Cumberland Coun.

Stephen Blais, who opposes having the facility in his ward.

City staff has also raised questions about the analysis of air quality in the draft environmental assessment, as well as soil issues that would affect the groundwater, so providing additional funds for other experts to help bolster those arguments is a good way to oppose the dump.

Landfills are a different beast than other types of development, such as a building or industrial facility, Blais said.

Being able to effectively participate in the process is much more difficult for average residents who don’t have the technical background, he said.

West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, whose residents also got intervener

funding to fight a proposed landfill expansion in Carp in the past, said the money helps groups get on more equal footing with landfill proponents.

Taggart-Miller, the com-

“I’m up against Goliath here.”

SUSANNE LANGLOIS, PRESIDENT OF CAPITAL REGION CITIZENS COALITION FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

pany proposing the Carlsbad Springs landfill and recycling centre, did not respond to a request for comment about the intervener funding.

The reason Capital Region Citizens Coalition for the Protection of the Environment didn’t get the full $75,000 in intervener funding right away was due to concerns raised

by staff and politicians about how past groups in West Carleton and Navan used the money the city gave them, Blais said.

Money was being used for public relations and promotions, including messaging opposing the city, El-Chantiry said.

He said the city learned its lesson and used more specific wording in the city-council motion and funding agreement needed to make the money available.

The money must be used to conduct technical reviews and for educational purposes – not for public relations.

The initial $50,000 for the Carlsbad group came from the waste reserve fund, while the additional $25,000 was allocated from the city’s account for unforeseen expenses.

Candidate promotes pathways Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A Gloucester-South Nepean candidate is promoting the idea of creating a plan to link local green spaces with new pathways.

Jason Kelly, chairman of the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority Foundation board, is promoting the idea of creating an “H”-shaped pedestrian network on either side of the Rideau River, with the newly opened Strandherd-Armstrong bridge connecting the two sides.

Kelly is referring to the concept as the “Heart of the Rideau,” due to the “H” shape. It could link Claudette Cain Park, Beryl Gaffney Park, Chapman Mills Conservation Area, Baroness Park and Jock River Landing.

“We’ve got all these great facilities, but they are islands on their own,” Kelly said.

To make it happen, Kelly said he would call on the city and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority to create a joint, 10-year master plan to expand the pathways.

He would also seek private-sector funding to partner on improvements such as benches, lookouts, picnic tables and signs.

Improving the pedestrian network in the area could boost tourism, Kelly said, so he would work with local businesses to capitalize on those opportunities.

Through his involvement with the conservation authority foundation, Kelly said he helped deliver the Chapman Mills Conservation Area footbridge connecting Riverside South to Barrhaven.

Lumière gala goes red for cancer charity Kourier-Standard News Staff

News - The Brookstreet Hotel is hosting the 12th-annual Lumière charity gala on Sept. 25, which is taking on a red theme this year to support the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

The event has raised more than $462,000 towards local charities to date, including $244,000 towards cancer research.

At this year’s event, guests are encouraged to wear “a splash of red” to show support for the local cancer

foundation. The gala will include 10 food stations with contemporary creative cuisine, as well as “cancer busting super foods,” reads the Brookstreet web page on the event. There will also be live jazz, silent auctions, win pairings, and a fireworks display.

Attendance is expected to hit 500, and include major figures in the local community. The event is partnered with the Keltic Cup Charity Golf Classic, which will tee off on Sept.

25 at The Marshes Golf Club, with all proceeds also going to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

Last of Cumberland legacy money spent on signs Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

Signs that announce your arrival into a community, like this one in Findlay Creek, will be coming to three former Cumberland village neighbourhoods this fall. The new signs will also have space for messages about community events and information.

Anne Duval.

“In Queenswood Heights’ case, our welcome sign, which used to be located on the Duford hill, was destroyed a number of years ago and it has been a struggle getting it replaced, so we are thrilled with this moving forward,” she wrote in an email.

Orléans Coun. Bob Monette said welcome signs were the most preferred option to spend the money on, given the amount of cash was quite small.

“It’s just an identity as well as an information piece,” Monette said.

The signs will also reduce the community groups’ overall advertising costs because they will allow events and news to be displayed in prominent lo-

cations, reducing the need to put up extra signs throughout the neighbourhood, Crossan said.

Previously, Monette worked with the Queenswood Heights community to spend $20,000 of the Cumberland legacy fund on a book about local history.

The Cardinal Creek sign will be located on Trim Road, on the hill before Watters Road.

For Fallingbrook, Crossan said the sign will likely be located on Old Tenth Line Road, near Grace Presbyterian Church. The Queenswood Heights sign will likely be placed on Duford Drive, but the location isn’t finalized, Crossan said.

The community associations will be responsible for maintaining the signs.

News - Three east-end communities are set to get a little bit more welcoming.

Signs greeting people as they enter Cardinal Creek, Fallingbrook and Queenswood Heights are set to be erected in the next month or so thanks to leftover money from the former village of Cumberland’s reserve fund. The city said the last $9,000 or so that remains earmarked for projects in the former municipality’s area had to be used by the end of this year, and the communities chose entrance signs.

The three, 1.2-metre-square signs will also feature space for the communities to advertise upcoming local events, said Sean Crossan of the Cardinal Creek Community Association, who spearheaded the project.

The communities wanted to add welcome signs in order to achieve equity with much smaller rural communities nearby that have signs announcing your arrival, Crossan said.

“For Cardinal Creek this is particularly important as Cardinal Creek Village is being built just east of Cardinal Creek and it is expected to have 5,000 houses and 20 acres of commercial development,” Crossan said. “(The sign) will avoid confusion for visitors to our beautiful community.”

Queenswood Heights is happy to replace a sign that was destroyed, said community association president Emilie

News - The owner of a derelict former convent in Overbrook has applied to demolish a home on the site.

The demolition will allow the owner of 127 Presland Rd., Groupe LĂŠpine, to move forward with building a 298-unit residential building the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning committee originally approved in 2011. The building, for which the city has approved a site plan, ranges in height up to 15 storeys.

The house thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set to be demolished was already partially torn down without city approval in December of 2012.

The developer wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fined, however, because the city had mistakenly included its address as part of the demolition permit for the neighbouring institutional building.

The partially demolished home later caught fire in June of this year.

Documents submitted to the city with the demolition application indicate the home is in poor structural condition and is not salvageable. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also standing in the way of a road modification needed to change access

to the site, so vehicle would enter and exit from the Vanier Parkway, not Presland.

Comments on the demolition request can be submitted to the city by Oct. 6. City staff will make a decision on whether to allow the demolition

by Nov. 9.

The documents also state the developer would also like to start construction on roadway modifications for a new signalized intersection at Vanier Parkway and Presland Road.

The institutional building formerly occupied by Les Soeurs Franciscaines Missionaires de Marie de lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ontario was demolished on 2012.

Groupe LĂŠpine faced fines for illegally cutting trees on the site in 2012. Most of the trees were planned to be removed anyways to make way for a 15-storey apartment complex at the corner of the Vanier Parkway, but Groupe LĂŠpine had not applied for or received the required permits.

The company pleaded guilty to one count of injuring or causing the destruction of a tree without a permit and was fined a total of $625, according to Lee Ann Snedden, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager of policy development and urban design.

City expands Springhurst Park, community group touts victory Park to provide recreation space for potential population growth Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - It doesn’t look any different, but Springhurst Park just grew more than twice its size.

The Old Ottawa East green space was expanded when the city dedicated an additional 2.5 acres of an adjacent city-owned field as parkland for a total of 4.1 acres.

The mostly invisible victory is a big coup for the local community

association, which has been battling the city’s longstanding plans to run an elevated parkway known as the Alta Vista Transportation Corridor (AVTC) through the field at 160 Lees Ave. While the expanded parkland dedication doesn’t protect the entire field beside the Lees Avenue apartment towers, the move is being touted as a victory against the AVTC. “This is really good news. This is real progress,” Old Ottawa East Community Association president John Dance told association members during a Sept. 9 meeting.

“Now the challenge it make sure the addition becomes a real part of the park and there never again is

contemplation that the lands will be used for an AVTC,” Dance said in an email after the meeting.

The transportation corridor’s status was demoted in a recent update of the city’s transportation master plan last fall, meaning construction of the proposed roadway is no longer imminent and likely wouldn’t be contemplated for at least 15 years.

The plan to expand the park was originally revealed as part of the transit-oriented development plan for Lees Station.

The area is set to grow, with zoning that allows some of the tallest buildings in the city, so expanding the park was proposed as a way to provide recreational space for the

growing population.

Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said no improvements have been proposed for the additional area that’s been added to the park and no money is currently available for any work.

The space already functions as parkland and is used by local sports groups as an informal field.

And while the city wouldn’t put anything in the corridor of land that must be reserved for the new road, Chernushenko said he would like to pursue improvements to grade and fix up the surface of the field area, including adding goal posts.

“It would be 15 years minimum before anything would be done with

the AVTC ... that would be 15 wasted years,” Chernushenko said.

The city will have to be careful what kinds of construction are undertaken in the area because underground contamination of coal and other fuel waste could balloon the cost of any improvements, Chernushenko said.

The councillor said it’s still likely there will be some sort of roadway through the field in the future, but he hopes it would be a pedestrianfriendly main street.

“The idea of an elevated fourlane parkway – we all oppose it and I don’t think we’ll ever see that,” Chernushenko said. “If we do, it’s a long way away.”

Big name acts, local talent key to Folk Fest success: organizer Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – From international superstars to home-grown Ottawa talent, almost 70 acts recently took to multiple stages at Hog’s Back Park for Ottawa’s annual Folk Festival.

Organizers say the key to drawing approximately 50,000 spectators to the five-day event from Sept. 10 to 14, was providing an eclectic lineup of acts, and a few extra features, such as a craft beer house, a food truck rally and an interactive workshop sessions featuring musicians.

“We had a great run on the front end, like Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,” said festival artistic director Mark Monahan. “Saturday was obviously challenging (due to the weather), and Sunday was pretty good, so we’re pretty much on track with what we hoped.”

Acts this year included Serena Ryder, Blue Rodeo, Joss Stone as well as Lorde. The lineup also featured family friendly talent such as the Wiggles and Fred Penner.

Local performers were also well represented.

“I think the formula is bringing in some big names like Lorde, like The National, but we still have some significant amount of local and community talent,” said Monah-

an. “I think the festival is a great showcase for artists who don’t always have an opportunity to play to significant crowds here in Ottawa.”

There were many musical highlights for both organizers and festival-goers, including performances by American indie rock band The War on Drugs, Canada’s Serena Ryder and Blue Rodeo, among many others.

“I would say Blue Rodeo, in very frigid conditions, put on an amazing show considering it was freezing,” said festival spokesman Joe Reilly.

“The thing about them is by the end of the set you could see (guitarist) Colin Cripps … you could see him shaking his hands like somebody who’s spent too long in a winter day,” he said. “But they really warmed up the audience.

When they were doing It Hasn’t Hit Me Yet they stepped back from the mikes and the whole audience sang it and it was beautiful.”

There was a last-minute change in Sunday’s lineup.

The Gaslight Anthem had to pull out due to a family issue and in their place Newfoundland’s Hey Rosetta! filled in, Last-minute schedule changes are often inevitable.

“I can’t think of a year in either of these festivals (Folk Festival and RBC Bluesfest) where we haven’t had somebody have to cancel. When you book 60 or 70 bands for this and more than 100 at Blues something is going to happen with somebody.”

In addition to having to cope with cold and rainy weather during some of the performances, the festival was also slapped with a $405 fine after the city fielded a number of noise complaints on opening night Wednesday.

While weather may have contributed to carrying the sound that evening, Monahan said it’s important for various stakeholders to meet and discuss concerns around noise.

“I think there has to be more of a public discussion about the role of events and how that fits with the residents and what the city wants to do in terms of promoting Ottawa,” he said, adding that event organizers, city officials and community representatives should come together.

“A lot of the bylaws that we’re dealing with were created years ago, like more than 20 years ago when I started,” Monahan said.

ARTS

A slice of life served up in the dining room Susan Monaghan Kanata Theatre

Arts - Before there was a “breakfast nook”, granite countertops, kitchen islands, back splashes; before home entertainment centres, mud rooms and man caves, there was the dining room.

The dining room came into its own during the early 20th century north-eastern United States where it was a necessity for the upwardly mobile WASP (white Anglo-Saxon Protestant). It was a place where prominent fathers unhurriedly read the Wall Street Journal as breakfast was served. Children sat quietly until excused from the table.

Phones were unhooked during meal times and maids with only first names such as “Annie” “Aggie” or “Roberta” delivered food and carried back complaints and instructions to a never-seen cook.

This world is brought to life hilariously and poignantly by award winning playwright A.R. Gurney and The Dining Room is the first play to grace the Kanata Theatre stage in its

2014-15 season.

A New England WASP himself, Gurney shows us his dining room in all its facets.

Through multiple scenes we imagine it as it once was, festooned with English bone china, Steuben wine glasses and three pronged forks and peopled with glittering guests and conversation. We move back and forth in time visiting the lonely rich boy who’s only friend and confident is the maid polishing the pistol handle knives and rat tail back spoons; and then to witness the fall of the middle class and it’s precious status symbol which today, if it is to be found at all, is reduced to a makeshift office or a place to sort laundry.

Kanata Theatre director Barabara Kobolak loves The Dining Room for its portrayal of family life “.. and its comic, dramatic, and everything-inbetween moments.”

“Gurney is also, at times, satirizing his society.” said Kobolak. “But even then he does it with affection or to show that it is worth satirizing.”

The Dining Room runs Sept. 16 to 27 at the Ron Maslin Playhouse, 1

Ron Maslin Way, just off Terry Fox Drive in Walter Baker Park. Tickets are $20.

Cairn Cunnane’s metal artistic fence will border the eastern edge of Bingham Park as the park’s public art feature. Cunnane said the fence represents the discovery of both the people and history of Lowertown, with the fence formed in waves to represent the Rideau Canal, which brought many immigrants to the old neighbourhood

R0012887675

News – A stainless steel fence designed to look like a flowing river in honour of the history of Lowertown will soon border the eastern edge of Bingham Park.

Created by Cairn Cunnane, “Our Fence” was selected by the city as the park’s new public art.

Cunnane’s design will wind around trees and hedges and is meant to look like a flowing path or river. The sculptural fence spans more than 61 metres and will feature groups of overlapping people mingling by the fence and tree-like patterns.

There will be a welcoming gate archway at the entrance on Dalhousie Street.

The city issued a call for artists to help beautify the park in May and held a public open house of the top four designs on July 31 for area residents to judge.

During that open house, Cunnane said the fence represents the discovery of both the people and history of Lowertown, with the fence formed in waves to represent the Rideau Canal, which brought many immigrants to the old neighbourhood.

The art project has a budget of $155,000 and was proposed as part of the Sussex Drive reconstruction project.

Because of limited streetscape space on Sussex Drive, Bingham Park was picked for the location.

The public can view the art proposals and submit comments online at ottawa.ca.

Fine art on display in the Glebe Sept. 20-21 Show welcomes artists from across the city Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Some of Ottawa’s best fine art will be on display in the Glebe this weekend.

The Glebe Community Centre will transform into a gallery for the annual fine art show on Sept. 20 to 21. Celebrating its ninth year, this year a number of new artists will fill Scotton Hall to show off their wares for the two-day event.

“The Glebe Fine Arts Show provides Ottawa with a cultural event not to be missed,” said organizer Linda Bordage. “If you are looking to find the perfect piece for your office, family room, living room or bedroom, this event is for you.”

There will also be many returning artists; Anne Remmer Thomson, Margaret Chwialkowska, David Houlton, John Shea, Olaf Krassnitzky to name a few. A full list of participating artists is available at glebefineartshow.

ca.

“It is like walking through an art gallery but with one important difference, you can not only purchase the artwork right there but also meet the artist at the same time.” Bordage said.

According to fellow organizer Eileen Durand, over 1,000 people attended the show last year, which draws art lovers from across the National Capital Region, offering a variety of mediums for patrons, including embroidery, photography, pottery and paintings.

Aside from artists showing off and selling their art pieces, local students will participate in the event.

“They will have their own booth and show things they have done,” Durand said. “It’s nice to see the new generation of artists helping out with the show and having an opportunity to show their art.”

The students also volunteer, helping set up, offering any help to the exhibitors and offer support during the show.

Mould closes science and technology museum Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - The discovery of mould prompted the immediate evacuation of staff last week from the Canada Science and Technology Museum, which will remain indefinitely closed as a result.

The decision to evacuate between two and three dozen personnel late last Thursday, Sept. 11 was made as soon as “unacceptable levels of airborne mould” were detected during air tests conducted after mould was found in the south wall of the museum earlier in the week.

The amount of mould was “enough to trigger air quality tests (the results of which) were above the acceptable norms according to the labour code,” said museum spokesman Olivier Bouffard, who was among those evacuated.

Workers discovered water had seeped in from the roof to the south wall, which runs from the cafeteria to a demonstration area. The discovery was made while the museum was closed all last week to undergo regularly scheduled maintenance.

Workers spotted the water infiltration while they were verifying the integrity of a seal installed early last October to prevent asbestos in “significant” sections of the roof from contaminating the rest of the museum.

Bouffard said it was still unknown how long the roof had

The president and CEO of the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation says the Canada Science and Technology Museum on St. Laurent Boulevard will remain closed until mould at the facility is removed. been leaking water.

“Is it because of the heavy rainfall of last week (Sept. 5), or has it been longer than that?

At this point I don’t have an answer to that question,” he said the day after the museum was closed indefinitely.

Museum officials have wanted to replace the roof for some time.

“It’s been repaired many, many times over the decades,” Bouffard said. “It was due to be repaired a while ago, but the discovery of asbestos sort of made that a much more complex task to accomplish.”

Since last fall, they have been working with roofing and

asbestos specialists to replace or repair the roof on the building. The museum has been in its current home on St. Laurent Boulevard since 1967, and prior to that the facility housed an industrial bakery.

“Since (last fall) we have been working with specialized firms to try and find the best way to go about dealing with that issue, but the process still hasn’t been completed,” said Bouffard, adding the work is expected to be costly, as well as complex.

The museum will remain indefinitely closed until officials can flesh out a remediation plan that would tackle the mould problem.

The museum’s facilities manager was meeting with contractors last Friday to determine the scope and type of work needed to remedy the situation, said Bouffard, who could not provide an estimate as to how long the facility will remain closed to staff and visitors.

“The health, safety, and well-being of the people who visit us and work at the museum are our absolute priority,” Alex Benay, who took over the helm of the museums corporation earlier this year as president and chief executive officer, said in a statement.

“We took action as soon as the situation was discovered, and we will continue to show the same transparency following the evolution of the situation.”

Evacuated staff will be relocated to other facilities within the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation, which manages three national museums in Ottawa, including

the Canada Science and Technology Museum, the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum and the Canada Aviation and

ties, including birthday parties and group visits.

“That’s what we’re looking into, and it’s made difficult by

Four schools in Alta Vista were placed in secure mode after students reported seeing a person with a gun on Sept. 11 at around 11 a.m. near Charles H. Hulse Public School on Alta Vista Drive.

Ottawa police, including tactical, canine and patrol officers, searched the bushes east of Charles H. Hulse Public School, between Heron and Walkley roads, but no suspect was found.

“We called in our canine officer and our tactical units

to do a sweep of the bush area, and we’ve concluded that now there is nobody in there, and so the school is going back to normal operations,” Insp. John Medeiros said at the scene.

Detectives will now determine the validity of the sighting, said Medeiros. Police reported that three children said they saw someone with a silver handgun.

“Investigators will get to the bottom of what transpired and will determine what the next steps will be,” said Medeiros.

Police reported that secure mode at the schools was lifted around 1 p.m., however students and teachers were denied entrance or exit to the schools in the area until about 1:50 p.m.

secure mode – where doors are locked but classes continued as usual inside the schools – were St. Patrick’s Intermediate School, Ridgemont High School, St. Patrick’s Catholic High School and Charles H. Hulse.

This is the second incident in three months in which police have received a report of a gun-toting suspect behind Charles H. Hulse Public School.

Four Alta Vista public schools were locked down and four nearby Catholic schools were placed in secure mode on June 19, after a man was spotted carrying a gun behind Charles H. Hulse.

Medeiros said he was aware of the previous incident, but said he does not know if there is any connection between the two sightings.

Gunman remains on the loose after Ottawa’s 30th shooting City set to surpass total shootings last year Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – A man who shot a single round in the Riverview neighbourhood of south Ottawa last week in a case investigators are describing as a close call is still on the loose.

Police are continuing to go over evidence and eyewitness reports after a male suspect fired one .25-calibre round on Monday, Sept. 8 at 9:24 p.m., near a woman who was outside her home in the 1400-block of Station Boulevard.

No one was injured in the city’s 30th shooting of the year.

“She was the victim and she was caught in the incident,” said acting Staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden, head of the Ottawa police guns and gangs section, which is leading the investigation. “Was it a close call? Yes, the suspected shooter was not a far distance from her.”

The woman’s children were not outside with her at the time.

The shooting was targeted, said Bryden.

But it’s still too soon in the investigation to determine if the woman was the intended target, he said, adding it’s possible the bullet was meant for someone else or another house in the area, or perhaps fired as a warning shot.

Police are following up on several theories, including the possibility it may have been a domestic incident.

“We are definitely looking at that angle or that motive, but in all of these cases we have to look at every possible angle,” said Bryden, who is not ruling anything out.

“We’ve got two or three pretty solid motives.”

While police have not identified a suspect, they do have a very vague description of the shooter, who Bryden said is a black male, and approximately five-foot-four.

Police were unable to find the bullet entry zone at the scene, but they did recover one used bullet casing as well as an unspent casing. A weapon was not recovered.

“We suspect that the firearm that was used was obviously a small pistol of some sort, being a .25 calibre,” Bryden said.

Investigators will continue to canvas the neighbourhood and follow-up with people who have come forward with information on the recent shooting.

“For the most part we’re receiving information from confidential sources, for example, Crime Stoppers, and we’re continually trying to leverage that (information), that we make sure we’re going in the right direction, (and that) the motives that we do have we corroborate one or the other, depending on which one is more compelling,” Bryden said.

But more eyewitnesses are encouraged to speak with police to help solve the crime.

“In a lot of these cases I feel the same way, that there’s a lot more people than we really know that know something,” Bryden said. “No matter how minute or small it might be they know something, and for various reasons choose not to come through with it.

“That’s a challenge.”

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call the Ottawa police guns and gangs section at 613-236-1222, ext. 5050, or make an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

FILE

The Ottawa police guns and gangs unit is investigating a number of motives that could explain why an unidentified man fired a single shot in the vicinity of a woman on Sept. 8 in the Riverview neighbourhood, and whether she was the intended target.

SHOOTINGS ON THE RISE

Ottawa is set to surpass last year’s number of shootings, which stood at 30.

Still, the guns and gangs unit isn’t planning to change its strategy to curb gun violence.

Senior falls prey to ‘granny scam’ Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - An elderly Ottawa man who was driven to a bank to make a cash withdrawal is the victim of fraud, according to Ottawa police, who are now looking for a person of interest in connection with the case.

The senior was allegedly scammed of an undisclosed amount of money on Aug. 7 after he received a call and was told his grandson was in trouble and needed money.

He was then driven the same day to a bank where he withdrew cash from his bank account.

A bank employee alerted police to the incident after suspicions were raised for a number of reasons, including the amount of money that was taken out of the account.

“They felt something was fishy,” said Ottawa police spokesman Const. Marc Soucy.

Police are not disclosing the amount withdrawn, or in which part of Ottawa the incident took place.

In images captured by video surveillance cameras at the bank branch, a frail-looking senior, whose identity is obscured, can be seen sitting at a kiosk. Beside him sits a

man wearing a dress shirt and slacks, looking around the room.

Police are not alleging the individual who accompanied the elderly man is the granny scammer, but he is considered a person of interest in the investigation.

“A person of interest has not been identified as a suspect. It’s somebody we need to talk to,” said Soucy.

Anyone who recognizes the man is urged to contact the Ottawa police fraud section by calling Det. Martin Cardinal at 613-236-1222, ext. 5781, or Crime Stoppers at 613-2338477.

OTTAWA POLICE SERVICE

Investigators are urging anyone who knows the identity of this man to contact them in connection with a case in which an elderly Ottawa man was defrauded of an undisclosed amount of money on Aug. 7. Police say the man is a person of interest in their case.

Customers lead officers to suspected female bank robber Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Two quick-thinking customers are being credited with helping Ottawa police apprehend a suspected bank robber last week.

They sprang into action after a female suspect, carrying an undisclosed quantity of cash, fled a bank branch in the 1500-block of Bank Street near Heron Road on Sept. 10 around 9:30 a.m.

One phoned police and remained on the line with an emergency dispatcher as the customers discreetly followed the woman from a distance as she headed south along Bank Street.

Thanks to their efforts, two responding patrol officers were able to quickly locate and arrest the suspect inside a fast-food restaurant without incident.

“They didn’t interact with her. They kind of held their distance,” Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the police robbery unit, said in

commending the bystanders.

“It’s great work by them.”

Investigators say their suspect is also allegedly responsible for another bank robbery that happened in South Keys less than 24 hours before.

“I’m glad we caught (the suspect) at the time of the second one, because who’s to say we wouldn’t have had another (robbery) the following day, or even the same day.”

STAFF SGT. MICHAEL HAARBOSCH, HEAD OF THE OTTAWA POLICE ROBBERY UNIT

In that case, on Sept. 9 at 10:30 a.m., a lone woman went into a bank branch in the 2200-block of Bank Street. She walked up to

the teller and handed over a note, which indicated she was armed, though no weapon was seen.

The woman was given an undisclosed amount of money and then fled.

No one was injured in either robbery.

Haarbosch credited the bystanders for potentially nipping a crime spree in the bud.

“I’m glad we caught (the suspect) at the time of the second one, because who’s to say we wouldn’t have had another (robbery) the following day, or even the same day,” he said.

A 43-year-old Ottawa woman has been charged with two counts of robbery and two counts of wearing a disguise.

She was scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 11.

Anyone with information on these robberies is asked to call the Ottawa police robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

CHARITABLE GIVING WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES - A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH FAMILY AND CHARITIES The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities.

By Shawn Ryan, CFP, TEP Partner and Senior Insurance and Estate Planner Scrivens Insurance and Financial Solutions

Life insurance is a popular, practical way to make a significant gift to CHEO. Your donation will be wisely administered through investments which will provide a stable source of income to CHEO for years to come.

There are three main methods you can gift life insurance: by making a bequest of the proceeds of a life insurance policy through your Will; donating the policy during your lifetime at fair market value; or by naming CHEO as beneficiary and remaining as policy owner.

Here is a scenario where a mother owns purchase a permanent life insurance policy a family business and wishes to gift the for $500,000 and donate the proceeds to shares to her adult children through a charity through her Will. provision in her Will.

The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities.

Flagstone is a popular, affordable and easy-to-maintain pavement option amongst home and business owners, and for those in the OttawaCarlton region, Nepeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Canlok Stone canlok.com is the go-to source for all your ďŹ&#x201A;agstone needs.

The tales we weave Patricia Moore, a member of the Ottawa Weavers and Spinners Guild, demonstrates her craft to revellers visiting the Billings Estate Museum for Harvest Day on Sept. 14.

Should you need to clean any stains or mold that develop, just

Picking up a ďŹ&#x201A;agstone cleaner is a good idea once your pavement has settled as all ďŹ&#x201A;agstone pavement is susceptible to water stains, particularly if the water in your area contains chemicals such as alkaline or if it has added minerals. Even with the utmost care, stains are still likely to

occur in outdoor living spaces, especially if you use them for cooking and dining.

With stains considered, make sure to seal all of your ďŹ&#x201A;agstone pavement when it is completed. The sealer goes directly into your stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pores and helps to prevent any damage caused by spills. Just be sure to avoid sealers with glossy ďŹ nishes as they can alter your pavementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appearanceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; instead use a penetrating acrylic sealer with a matte ďŹ nish. By using that instead, any water or oil that hits your pavement turns into beads. To further protect your pavement, reapply this sealer yearly to shield it from damage and help maintain its colour.

For more on ďŹ&#x201A;agstone pavement and care, contact Canlok Stone.

Fireplace Station hopes to move to Greely Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – The Fireplace Station in Manotick could be Greely’s newest business if its zoning amendment application is approved.

Fireplace Station owner Andrew Dickson wants to move his showroom to the vacant State Farm building at 5832 Bank St. north of Parkway Road as early as February 2015, but the building is not currently zoned to allow a retail store at that location.

Under the current zoning, all uses are prohibited except for office space and recreational and athletic facilities.

Dickson attended a Greely Community Association meeting on Sept. 10 seeking support for the change, which he received. He also received endorsement from the Greely Business Association.

Dickson said he wants to own his store rather than rent – and that the rent in the Manotick Mews is becoming unmanageable.

“The rent keeps going up, up,

ottawa

up,” he said. “It’s mainly to purchase a building rather than rent, which is better for my family.”

Dickson and his wife Marnie Benner, along with her parents, opened the store in Manotick in 2009.

If the application is approved, the Kemptville businessman plans to replace the Greely building’s siding and give it a new roof.

“We’re going to clean the building up so it looks a bit better,” he said.

Dickson plans to add a 111square-metre warehouse some-

time in the future, as well.

Community association president Bruce Brayman supported the zoning amendment, saying it’s in the village’s interest.

“One of our goals is to bring more business into the village: more businesses, more jobs, more quality,” he told a small audience at the association’s monthly meeting.

“That’s something we’ve been aiming for.”

Second edition of Lung Run to hit Barrhaven streets Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Lung Run will breeze into Barrhaven for the second year.

Last year the run raised $12,000 for the Give2Live campaign â&#x20AC;&#x201C; aimed at raising awareness about organ donations and raising money for

families who incur relocation costs and other expenses due to the need for transplants.

Double-lung recipient Helene Campbell is the spokesperson for the event, along with local realtors Mary and Travis DeFranco.

Campbell said her family received money from the community when she had to

relocate to Toronto to wait for her lung transplant. The

total cost was approximately $32,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not everyone has such support from the community,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The run, which raises money through registration fees, will kick off at Mother Teresa High School.

There is a free one-kilometre run for kids, as well as a

2.5-km family run and timed ďŹ ve and 10-kilometre runs.

Travis DeFranco said planning started early in 2014 with the organizing committee â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which includes community sponsors and the DeFranco family.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something for everyone this year, including Zumba, demonstrations from

Stronger You Martial Arts and face painting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run we want people to come out and have fun,â&#x20AC;? Campbell said.

The race will kick off at 10 a.m. on Sept. 28. Organizers are hoping to beat the $12,000 that was raised last year.

Community rallies behind Alta Vista resident News - The afternoon that David Muzaliwa was supposed to show up for work and never arrived, Jilleen Niles was worried sick.

“He was (usually) prompt, he was reliable, he was 15 minutes early for his shift,” said Niles, kitchen manager of Corner Bar & Grill in the Glebe where Muzaliwa was a line cook. She called and messaged him on Twitter, but to no avail.

It wasn’t until the following morning that she received the grim news about her friend in a phone call from a social worker at the Civic campus of The Ottawa Hospital.

The avid runner had been accidentally hit by a vehicle the previous afternoon on Aug. 20 at the corner of Bank Street and Heron Road while doing his usual afternoon training run.

Niles listened in shock as the social worker said they needed to connect with Muzaliwa’s family, who still did not know their loved one had suffered a critical head injury.

“I started crying,” said Niles, who helped the hospital contact the family.

Since then, she has been hoping and praying for her friend’s recovery, but also raising funds to help Muzaliwa and his family through such a difficult time.

Muzaliwa’s mother and father, who live with their two teenage daughters in Greely, went to their son’s bedside as soon as they learned the news.

Both parents have since given up their jobs – his mother worked at Tim Hortons in Greely while his father was a truck driver in the United States – in order to help their son in his recovery.

With that in mind and knowing Muzaliwa helped his parents financially, Niles has

SUBMITTED

Alta Vista resident David Muzaliwa is slowly recovering from a critical brain injury he suffered after he was hit by a car at Bank Street and Heron Road on Aug. 20. stepped in to rally the community around the family. She organized a fundraiser on Aug. 29 at the Corner Bar & Grill in the Glebe, which generated $1,000.

Another is planned for Sept.

20 at all three Corner Bar & Grills in the Glebe, Westboro and Orléans.

“Knowing David, I knew every month he would set money aside for his family,” Niles said. “Who’s going to help him and his family? I just wanted to do everything I could for them.

“He’s such an extraordinary person,” the Manor Park resident said. “I just want to make sure he gets the best, and that his family is taken care of.”

Proceeds from the inaugural fundraiser helped pay for Muzaliwa’s last month of rent at his Alta Vista apartment, and to help move his belongings back to his family’s home in Greely.

But it will be some time before he is able to leave the hospital, though he has been beating the odds so far.

For the first 10 days following the accident, the 27-yearold remained in critical condition.

His brain was so badly swollen doctors had to remove part of his skull to allow it to swell and retract, Niles said.

It was at this point, doctors gave David’s family the option of taking him off medical support, his condition was so grave.

“They gave him a five-percent chance of recovery,” she said.

“I was heartbroken. I could not eat or sleep for three days.

I could not grasp the concept.

With my staff, I treat them like family, and we have such a connection. They’re like my brothers and sisters, and I wouldn’t wish anything like this upon them.”

The family decided to opt for brain surgery, and following the operation on Aug. 28, Muzaliwa has improved. He opened his eyes, and now can move when given commands.

And though his brain is still swollen, he is talking a little bit.

“The doctors were astonished,” Niles said.

Nurses from other floors in the hospital have even been dropping by to meet the man who has proven to be a fighter.

“He has the willpower of a lion,” she said, adding that while his speech and memory are still impaired, and his recovery will be long, everyone is rooting for him.

“We’re all just waiting and praying for him,” Niles said.

She and her staff are anticipating the day when they can once again see him dance in their kitchen like old times.

“Of course he’s going to

The next fundraiser, known as #Donations for David on Facebook and Twitter, is planned for Sept. 20, from 5 p.m. to midnight at the Corner Bar & Grill at 777 Bank St., 344 Richmond Rd. and 1779 Tenth Line Rd.

The man who drove his car into the sinkhole on highway 174 two years ago is suing the city for $550,000.

Juan Pedro Unger is suing the city on behalf of himself, his wife and his daughter.

He drove his 2009 Hyundai Accent into a sinkhole while driving home around 5 p.m.

The sinkhole opened up when a pipe collapsed underneath the road, causing a large hole to suddenly open up on the highway.

The image of his car, with

the tail end sticking into the air and the front end not visible in the hole, was widely distributed in the media.

According to lawsuit he filed with the city, he climbed out of his car and two bystanders pulled him out of the sinkhole.

An ambulance stopped to treat him, and he was then driven home by police.

The sinkhole fix cost the city $4.9 million, and shut down a portion of the highway for about a week.

Unger claims the city should have known about the issues with the pipe and inspected the area. He also claims the city R0012899307-0918

failed to expand an existing rehabilitation project to include relining the pipe that collapsed, causing the sinkhole.

The city hired independent engineering firm BMRoss after the incident, who reported that a number of factors contributed to the collapse of the sewer pipe.

The pipe was set to be replaced through a process called relining and staff from a contractor hired to complete the project were in the pipe doing preparatory work shortly before the sewer collapsed, creating a gaping hole in the pavement that swallowed Unger’s car.

Unger said he sustained injuries in the accident, including whiplash, and now has sleeping difficulties, anxiety and a fear of driving.

The suit also extends to his wife and daughter, and says his wife now has to take on more household chores and had to take stress leave from work for a time.

The family also said they have incurred out of pocket expenses, such as car repairs and counselling.

According to Rick O’Connor, the city solicitor, the city has no comment as the matter is before the courts. He said the city will file a statement of defence.

Midway ticket system changing at Metcalfe Fair emma.jackson@metroland.com

CRUSHER KLINE MAKES FAIR DEBUT

New this year, the Metcalfe Fair is welcoming Osgoode-born professional wrestler Wayne “Crusher Kline” Cryderman to the ring for an evening of family entertainment.

On Friday night, families can enjoy three professional wrestling matches inside the OLG Entertainment tent, compliments of Big Time Pro Wrestling.

“We’re excited to have him and his group of wrestlers at the fair,” Cooper said. “One of our younger directors is in charge of entertainment, and she feels it’s important to bring new events. We all like the traditional events but it’s important to change things up and feature new people. We’re hoping to draw a different milieu of people.”

That’s been a major part of the Metcalfe Fair’s modern approach: to add new events while maintaining the traditional agricultural focus.

“We’ve tried to change with the times,” Cooper said. “Our main emphasis is we’re an agricultural fair, and our main focus is celebrating agriculture in our community ... but we’re also bringing in the south-end people, and letting them know that with the change in the urban fairs like the SuperEx we’re still here and we want to make Metcalfe Fair your fair, your tradition. We think we offer enough for everyone.”

Along with the traditional cattle, sheep and horse shows, the agricultural displays and exhibits, in recent years the fair has added a classic car and hot rod show, a fashion show and a baby show.

Every year directors also try to bring new and popular live music to the grounds.

This year, Canadian country rock group Ambush will return with a new band member and new sound on Sunday afternoon.

Landmark will play Thursday night, Sidewinder will perform on Friday and the Orangeman will play Saturday night.

News – Ride bracelets are becoming a thing of the past for fairgoers, with the cost-saving bracelets available only on Friday, Oct. 3, at this year’s Metcalfe Fair.

Midway operator Robertson Amusements has changed the way it charges for rides at the Metcalfe Fair, said fair spokeswoman Cheryl Cooper. Instead of daily bracelet deals, fairgoers can buy a ride-allday bracelet for Friday, but must buy pre-sale tickets if they want a deal throughout the rest of the weekend.

“Traditionally you could buy ride bracelets for whatever day you wanted, and that was a significant savings,” Cooper said. “But as a board we weren’t given that option this year.”

Robertson Amusements manager Chris Patrie sees it differently. He said the company has fielded many complaints about half-day bracelets, which weren’t economical when they were only good for four hours.

“People weren’t getting their money’s worth,” Patrie said. “People are very pleased with this (oneday) special.”

He said the midway operator has been experimenting with a version of this system for the better part of a decade, but it’s only made its way to the Metcalfe Fair now.

“It’s taken us a while to get it perfected to find out what’s the best day for the special,” he said.

Friday’s ride-all-day bracelet is $25 and allows patrons to ride between 1 and 11 p.m.

Thursday night is still toonie night, costing fairgoers $2 per ride, and pre-sale tickets are on sale now at a cost of $40 for 35 tickets.

But full-price tickets, purchased on the day of the visit, can run patrons as much as $5 a ride.

“It’s frustrating for everybody, including fair directors who have kids,” Cooper said.

Despite this disconnect over prices, Cooper said she still believes Robertson is the best midway operator – and this change is just a sign of the times.

“They still are one of the best midways out there, with an excellent safety record. They’re supposed to be bringing extra rides this year, too,” Cooper said.

Patrie said they’ll pack as many rides as they can into the space available – and they’ll be sure to bring rides never before seen at the Metcalfe Fair.

Pre-sale tickets, dance show tickets and weekend passes for the

158th Metcalfe Fair running Thursday, Oct. 2 to Sunday, Oct. 5 are available now at the Metcalfe Fair office at the Metcalfe Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings, Metcalfe Variety on Victoria Street and Cooper Physiotherapy in Osgoode.

And as of Sept. 22, the tickets will also be available at the Scotiabank branch in Findlay Creek.

Cooper said the branch will match all sales in the form of a donation to the not-for-profit fair.

Police seek witnesses, public’s help in tracking deceased woman’s property erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Home is where the heart is The opportunity to grow a family overnight does not come around very often, but three brothers in Orleans want to give that chance to an existing family with big hearts and a few rooms to spare.

These children are already part of the community in Orleans, it’s their home, and they would love to be able to stay here.

These siblings were lucky enough to stay together in foster care thanks to a caring foster parent, but now need a forever family that can help them grow and prosper throughout the rest of their childhood, into their teens, and onward into adulthood.

OTTAWA POLICE SERVICE

Police have taken the unique step of reaching out to the public for help in tracking items belonging to a woman whose body was found in the Rideau River near Vincent Massey Park on Aug. 26. While foul play is not suspected, investigators are also looking to speak with anyone who talked to the woman in the days prior to the discovery of her body.

The children themselves are doing really well. They are active, inquisitive, energetic and just lots of fun. The oldest—a pre-teen—does well in school and has a strong interest in technology, and would respond well to parents who share those interests.

The younger brothers are more cuddly and bubbly, they just need the support, stability and dedication of a forever family to help them reach their full potential in school, though they’re still very early on in their journey and have lots of time to figure things out.

All three love spending time outdoors, and would really enjoy being part of a family that spends time outside, especially around water, as fishing and swimming are right up their alley!

These children are have a strong bond with each other already, but really want the love, guidance and support that a forever family will give them as they develop through the most important years of their lives.

News - Police have taken the unusual step of asking witnesses to come forward and requesting the public’s help in tracking down personal items belonging to a woman whose remains were discovered in the Rideau River late last month.

Ottawa police major crime investigators took over the investigation and at the outset were treating the death as suspicious. They are continuing to lead the case, though an autopsy has ruled out foul play.

But they are still looking to piece together the whereabouts of the 31-year-old woman before she died. Her identity is not being released by police at the request of the family.

The woman’s unclothed remains were spotted by a passerby in the river between Vincent Massey Park and Carleton University near the O-Train bridge just before 11 a.m. on Aug. 26.

“Major crime is still handling (the case) because they had initial carriage of the file, so they’re just going to continue with it,” said Ottawa police spokesman Const. Marc Soucy.

“Whenever there’s a death that they investigate, it’s common to try to determine what the person was doing before they died, so this is not out of the ordinary what they’re doing.

“What’s not common is us going out with public information about (a case that is not suspicious), but the detectives are stuck,” he said. “That’s why they went that route.”

By tracking down the woman’s missing property, especially her cellphone, and by speaking with anyone who may have seen or talked with her before her death, police are hoping to fill in the blanks in the case.

“We’ve spoken to her friends … and now we’re looking for people that may not necessarily know her but may have seen her or chatted with her, and may have information as to what she was doing on that day,” Soucy said.

The missing personal effects include an Apple shopping bag that contained a Samsung Galaxy cellphone, a Canon camera and a purple iPod Nano. Police also believe she may have been riding a bike.

Police have also released several photos to help jog people’s memories in the event they interacted with the woman the morning of Tuesday, Aug 26 in Hog’s Back Park, Vincent Massey Park or at Carleton University.

Soucy could not explain why police released surveillance images of the woman rather than photographs supplied by friends or family.

“That’s what the detectives gave us to put out,” he said.

Anyone who saw or spoke to the woman on Aug. 26 is asked to call the Ottawa police major crime unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5493, or make an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers by calling 613-233-8477.

CHEO lottery on the road to Vancouver Grey Cup Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario is taking its 24th-annual lottery on the road.

This year’s Dream of a Lifetime lottery campaign will start handing out prizes right off the mark as it prepares to send 200 winners to an Ottawa RedBlacks home game against Toronto and one lucky winner to the Grey Cup game in Vancouver at the end of November.

But there’s a catch: to win, customers must buy their $100 Dream of a Lifetime lottery ticket before midnight on Sept. 26, at which point they’ll be eligible for the RedBlacks ticket draws as well as the Grey Cup draw.

The 200 RedBlacks prize packs include two RedBlacks jerseys and tickets to the team’s final home game on Nov. 7.

The grand prize includes two Grey Cup tickets, airfare for two to Vancouver and three nights at the Renaissance Vancouver Harbourside Hotel.

For the second year in a row, the CHEO Foundation has partnered with Minto to build its fully-furnished dream home in the Mahogany devel-

opment south of Manotick.

This year’s grand prize includes the immaculately furnished 483-squaremetre-home (complete with an inhome theatre, walk-out basement and the latest home decor fashions), a 2015 Cadillac ATS Luxury, house cleaning for a year, $5,000 in groceries and $100,000 cash.

At the Dream Home grand opening on Sept. 15, foundation president Kevin Keohane was quick to thank ticket buyers for supporting the pediatric hospital located on Smyth Road in Ottawa.

“The priority in all of this is making dreams come true for CHEO’s kids, and then after that there’s the possibility that you could win this dream home,” Keohane said.

He said the lottery campaign has netted $42.5 million in profits since it began in 1991, and last year’s lottery alone raised $2.8 million for the facility.

The foundation raises about $14 million annually, Keohane said, and the lottery is a big part of making sure the hospital has the equipment, staff and knowledge it needs to deal with its 250,000 annual patient visits.

Currently, donations are bankrolling $5 million in renovations for the

Wendover teen Brad Laviolette, middle, is lucky to have the support of his parents Manon and Rob after he had both legs severed in a tubing accident last August. Laviolette has been a ‘frequent flyer’ patient at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario since his accident, and credits CHEO doctors for saving his legs. hospital’s day surgery unit, a new MRI machine worth $3 million and ongoing in-house medical research.

“There are so many things the dollars raised are going to (in order to) help improve the lives of kids in the region,” Keohane said.

No one knows CHEO’s importance better than Wendover teen Brad Laviolette. The 17-year-old was tubing on the water with his family last August when he suddenly faced disaster.

“I fell off the tube and my dad lost sight of me and I got stuck under the boat,” Laviolette told a captive audience at the dream home on Sept. 15.

“The propeller severed both my legs.”

He was airlifted to CHEO, where trauma surgeons worked to save his legs. In the end, he lost 80 per cent of his right quadricep muscle and required intensive physiotherapy to help him get back on his feet.

But it wasn’t an easy road for Lavi-

olette. He had multiple surgeries, and developed an infection in his bone that required six months of antibiotics.

“I was pretty scared,” Laviolette said. “I thought I would lose my legs, but CHEO basically saved them.”

CHEO has become his second home, Laviolette said, and his nurses and doctors have become a second family.

Today, Laviolette still pays weekly visits to the hospital, in which he is considered a “frequent flyer” patient, according to child life specialist Heather Crawford. She worked with Laviolette to find a way forward.

“Bradley is himself a very resilient individual,” Crawford said. “He is charismatic and willing to push through.”

She said his willingness to share his story helps create awareness about the hospital and what it does.

“There’s a fantastic hospital at CHEO, and there are people there who are ready to jump in and do their best,” she said.

The dream home is located at 536 Bridgeport Ave off Manotick Main Street. The home is open for tours from noon to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends and holidays.

Tickets are on sale now at dreamofalifetime.ca for $100 for one or $250 for three. Early bird prizes will be drawn on Dec. 17 and the final draws will be made Jan. 6 and 7, 2015.

Students spearhead cricket tourney in support of charity Funds raised will go to Imran Khan Foundation Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Competitive cricket matches have been known to span several days, but organizers of an upcoming cricket match in south Ottawa are organizing a day of multiple games in a bid to get more players on the pitch in support of a good cause.

A single game can carry on for five days, reason why some believe cricket was banned in Germany by Adolf Hitler, who didn’t like that the matches went on for so long, said Shahroukh Anis, co-president of the University of Ottawa’s Pakistani Students Association, which is organizing the Charity Cricket Cup for Sept. 20 at Lynda Lane Park off Smyth Road.

“Of course, ours are cut off after an hour and a half,” he said with a laugh.

Spectators at the upcoming event will be able to watch cricket games.

Board games will be available for playing in the stands, similar to when the association held its first cricket tournament at the park earlier this summer.

“We had them last time as well because cricket matches do get long,” Anis said. “So … they would switch

Shahrukh Anis, co-president of the University of Ottawa’s Pakistani Students Association, wears his Pakistan cricket team jersey with pride ahead of the second ever charity cricket tournament scheduled for Sept. 20 at Lynda Lane Park in south Ottawa. Partial proceeds from the event will support displaced people in Pakistan. to the board games and they were having a good time.”

Cricket is a much-loved sport in Ottawa, home to several cricket

clubs.

While the University of Ottawa does not have a dedicated cricket pitch, Carleton University has a

multi-purpose athletic facility where cricket can be enjoyed, said Anis.

Many Pakistani-Canadians are passionate about the sport, which is

extremely popular in Pakistan, said Anis, who has been casually playing cricket since he was a little boy. “It’s really well known over there. You’re always going to see a game of cricket going on somewhere in Pakistan, just walking down the street.”

Athletes are drawn to the camaraderie on and off the pitch.

“No matter how much of a rivalry you have on the field, when you get off the field you’re still meshing with each other,” said the Findlay Creek resident and fourth-year university student.

The sport day is also a way to help others in need.

Partial proceeds from the event will go to the Pakistan-based Imran Khan Foundation, which advocates for and provides emergency disaster relief to displaced residents in Pakistan.

The student association wanted to combine the tournament with a charitable endeavour.

“We want to be part of the solution even though we’re far away,” Anis said. “We want to show Pakistanis over there that over here we haven’t forgotten about Pakistan.

“We see there are so many of our cousins and friends back home doing so much, and to us it’s like we want to be able to do something with them as well.”

The cricket cup takes place from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. There will be also be a Halal barbecue. The cost to participate per player is $15 and 11member teams pay $150. For details, visit facebook.com/psa.uottawa.

Lowertown basketball court ready to open New court located in Bordeleau Park Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - When Michael Kirkpatrick first moved to Lowertown, all he wanted for him and his friends was a place to play basketball.

That desire to get some extracurricular exercise is the reason Kirkpatrick started to get involved in his community. It began with a petition he said in 2007, which he took door-to-door seeking support for a court from neighbours, receiving 200 signatures.

“Sports bring people together,” Kirkpatrick said.

“No matter what age or background, the passion for health and sports will unite all that come to shoot hoops.

Also sports is a great outlet for youth. To build a strong community we need to start with our youth. If youth can pour their energy into positive endeavours such as sports only good things will follow.”

The petition and desire to bring a basketball court to the community led the young

man to joining the Lowertown Community Association, where he began working on projects beyond his dream to bring a basketball court to the neighbourhood.

Until recently, the idea to have a court in the area seemed like it might never happen, but the city project to turn a four-way stop at Union Street and the northern leg of King Edward Avenue into a roundabout to accommodate a turnaround for STO buses created the opportunity to build the basketball court.

“It was a combination of projects,” said Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury.

According to Fleury, the construction staging was planned to occupy the far left corner of Bordeleau Park, near four-way stop at Union.

“They needed a working area and we wanted to see if we could leverage that and use the resources smartly,” Fleury said.

The site, accessible by taking an off-ramp from King Edward Avenue towards Union Street, was perfect for the basketball court, as it is not located near any homes, so complaints of noise would not be an issue.

At a total cost of $150,000, the court and an adjacent parking lot featuring five parking spots are near com-

pletion, with plans to open on Sept. 19.

“I first met Michael when he came knocking at my door with a petition to get a basketball court for the neighbourhood,” said Elizabeth Bernstein, Lowertown Community Association’s president. “He’s been persistent and it has paid off.”

Fleury credits Kirkpatrick with making the court a reality.

“This really demonstrates what can happen when a community member is engaged and how it can really get things accomplished.”

There will also be bicycle parking available at the location.

Kirkpatrick said he is overjoyed at the prospect of soon having a place to play.

“This will be Ottawa’s best outdoor basketball court,” said Kirkpatrick, who is also involved in organizing the annual Ottawa Charity Ping Pong tournament. “The court is perched upon a hill, has a great view of the river, Bordeleau Park, and the skyline of the market .

The view is picturesque.

And not only will Lowertown youth and sports enthusiasts use the court but it will be a destination for basketball players from all around Ottawa.”

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

A new basketball court at the far left corner of Bordeleau Park, between King Edward Avenue and the Rideau River will open for Lowertown residents on Sept. 19.

From the moment you enter the doors of Riverpark Place, you’ll know you are home. Our experienced and qualified staff recognize and cater to individual needs, preferences and choices. Come and visit us and enjoy a complimentary lunch and personalized tour.

Alan MacDonald, the fossil collection technician at the Canadian Museum of Nature removes a ceratopsid humerus from a fossil jacket during a showcase for children at the museum on Sept. 13.

Fossil jackets are plaster of Paris moulds used by paleontologists to preserve specimens while they can be transported to museums or research facilities. Jordan Mallon, a research scientist with the museum, said staff had been focusing on gathering fossils that would be good teaching tools for children when out on digs at Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta.

Greely arena put on ice Power Play Sports cancels agreement after delays Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Dreams of a new ice pad and recreational complex in Greely have turned out to be just that.

Power Play Sports president Alain Landriault said he cancelled an agreement to purchase a 2.4-hectare parcel of land from Sunset Lakes developer Dan Anderson and turn it into a sports complex after planning delays took the contract past its deadline.

“The terms in the agreement were about an eight-month window,” Landriault said.

“The dates had come and gone and I was willing to sit it out a bit longer, but it never materialized.”

The two developers agreed last September that Anderson would sell Landriault the parcel at the corner of Parkway Road and Bank Street to build a private recreational complex incorporating a twin-pad arena, an indoor soccer/ultimate Frisbee field, a fitness facility as well as office space, classrooms and a restaurant.

Landriault said he hasn’t ruled out building the complex in the future, but he wasn’t willing to sit on the stalled agreement.

“As a corporation I needed to make a decision whether I sit on this indefinitely or move on to other projects for now,” he said.

The agreement stipulated that Landriault wouldn’t buy the arena land until Anderson had completed his rezoning process for the entire 16hectare campus, which is deemed Greely’s vil-

lage centre.

Anderson wants to change the site from entirely commercial to a mix of commercial and residential uses – a decision he made last fall when the city approved zoning for a large commercial development at Mitch Owens Road and Bank planned by a company called the Otis Group.

“When the Otis proposal went through, it basically took the anchor, the grocery store, and we had to make a decision whether to fight their application or adapt,” Anderson said. “So we elected to do a redesign.”

At the time, Anderson decided to add 65 small bungalows along the man-made lake in Water’s Edge while locating about half the originally planned commercial development along Bank.

At the same time, he moved the recreational facility lands from the south end of the complex to the busier northern corner. But Anderson said he won’t submit the necessary applications until the city agrees in principal to support his plan.

“We just didn’t want to be sent on a wild goose chase,” he said.

Landriault said he would like to revisit his proposal in Greely if Anderson is able to uphold his planning requirements to make the sale.

“I told him, ‘Let’s just terminate the agreement for now and then once you’ve gotten your things sorted out we’ll start from square one,’” Landriault said.

The investor has already entered into a new conditional land agreement in McNab-Braeside west of Ottawa to build a similar recreational complex, but Landriault said that doesn’t mean Greely will be left behind.

“My investment firm can handle the two projects, so if and when Greely comes back in the picture then I can handle the two, for sure,” he said. “It’s not an and/or, it’s a when/if.”

Players from the University of Ottawa Gee Gees and Carleton Ravens are seen during last September’s Panda game. This year’s event will take place on Sept. 20 on the newly opened field at TD Place.

Panda Game returns for Ottawa U, Carleton teams Kourier-Standard Staff

Sports - A half-century-old rivalry will play out on the Lansdowne gridiron this month.

The Carleton University Gee-Gees and the University of Ottawa Ravens will face off at TD

Place on Sept. 20 in the latest edition of the Panda Game featuring the longstanding rivals. The popular tradition returned last year after more than a decade’s absence from the Ottawa sports scene.

Ravens and Gee-Gees set to spar at TD Place Sept. 20 Continued from page 73

The Panda game is named after a stuffed panda mascot named Pedro, who emerged on the Ottawa college football scene in the mid-1950s and quickly became a highvalue target of the competing teams.

In the years since the first Panda game, many headlinegenerating hijinks have taken place in the spirit of friendly competition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from panda kidnappings to parachute

drops, mentions in Parliament and an even an appearance on Hockey Night in Canada.

Amid these antics, Pedro became a football ambassador, travelling to college and university campuses across Canada and the United States until the Panda game tradition ended (temporarily) in 1998.

For the Sept. 20 Panda game, Carleton Ravens fans will be located in the south side stands, with Gee-Gees supporters in the north side.

Kickoff is scheduled for 1

p.m.

Tickets can be purchased through CapitalTickets.ca.

Carleton students can purchase them through the CUSA office or Athletics Welcome Centre for $20.

University of Ottawa students and the general public can pick up tickets at Montpetit Hall or the Minto Sports Complex Client Services.

That $20 ticket (for students) includes transportation.

Information on TD Place can be found at tdplace.ca

East end garage sales have something for everyone Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Two communitywide garage sales aim to offload goods to some of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thrifty shoppers.

New Edinburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crichton Community Council will host the New Edinburgh Community Garage Sale on Sept. 20 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. rain or shine. The sale welcomes all New Edinburgh residents to participate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great community event,â&#x20AC;? said Catherine McConkey, event organizer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a lot of exchange between neighbours and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way to get to know your neighbours or reconnect with them.â&#x20AC;?

The council asks anyone who participates to donate 10 per cent of their sales to the council.

The money donated helps fund family activities and the maintenance costs for the community skating rink.

McConkey said although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to each individual home or apartment to participate, there typically are tables set up along MacKay Street and Dufferin Road, on the grass along Rideau Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fence.

McKonkey and other council volunteers will walk through the community to every participating sale to collect donations.

If thrifty shoppers are looking for more than one place to find some potential good

ottawa

deals, Sandy Hill will also host a sale on Sept. 20 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Organized by Action Sandy Hill, the sale typically coincides with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;welcome to the neighbourhoodâ&#x20AC;? barbecue, but this year, due to a lack of volunteers, the barbecue will not go ahead.

A list of homes participating in the event is available at ash-acs.ca/sandy-hill-yardsale-2014.

Neighbourhood businesses have also been invited to participate by setting up tables outside of their establishments.

A decision concerning the rain date: Sept. 21, will be made and posted on Action Sandy Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website on Friday, Sept. 19.

Soup was a stick-to-your-ribs kind of meal

T

he big white granite pot never left the back of the Findlay Oval. It might blacken around the bottom edge, and sitting close to the reservoir, it never really got down to a boil until Mother felt it was ready to be moved closer to a front burner.

This was Mother’s soup pot.

It was as much a part of our kitchen, as the old pine table and the back-to-the-wall cupboard, and the only time it left the stove was when its innards were ready for the table.

If soup ever came in tin cans, and could be bought at Briscoe’s General Store, none of that extravagance ever came through our door.

Soup was just another food that could be made from what we grew on the farm, albeit mostly from leftovers from our kitchen table after a meal was over.

Pea and potato soup were never made in the big granite

stove. Even bones from the roasts were simmered, and

See SOUP, page 79

Mary Cook’s Memories pot, mainly because it was already in use on the back of the Findlay Oval.

My sister Audrey called Mother’s soup pot “scrap heaven.”

That was because not a crumb of a leftover was ever thrown out, and these “scraps” were what formed the bulk of the soup, and “heaven” because the aroma’s coming from the pot, filled us with anticipation of what was in store for us when it was time to add the soup to a meal.

Of course, there were never any scraps from our dinner plates. They would be wiped clean by a crust of bread, and heaven forbid that there

would be as much as a half a carrot left to be eaten on your plate!

As Mother would say, if we ever wasted a morsel of food, “you are taking it right out of the mouth of a starving Armenian” who I was pretty sure lived in Arnprior.

No, the leftovers would be what were left in the bowls or on the meat platter at the end of a meal.

Now, there never was very much left after our big family had attacked the table, but there was always a bit of meat, or a few vegetables, leftover gravy, all of which was put into Mother’s soup pot on the back of the cook

Soup was a family favourite on the farm Continued from page 77

And there it simmered away, with Mother taking an occasional peek into the pot to make sure everything was well covered with water.

And often she would take a teaspoon off the spoon holder on the kitchen table and dip it into the pot, blow on it to cool it down, and sip.

It was then she would add another dash of salt and pepper if needed.

The pot was kept covered, but that didn’t stop the wonderful aroma from seeping out and filling the kitchen.

We could smell the

mixture of vegetables, the onions, and the three bay leaves -- never two leaves, always three.

Mother explained that she always used three so that she would know exactly how many to dish out and throw away when it came time to eat the soup.

Although she could never give me a name, she assured me that someone from the Barr Line had choked on a bay leaf, and she wasn’t taking any chances.

Although we ate two hefty meals a day, one at noon hour and one at night, when Father was going back out to work in the fields or

the barns after our supper, that’s when the soup pot was brought to the table.

Those nights, supper would mean a big bowl of soup, maybe a plate of cold headcheese, fried potatoes, enough sliced homemade bread to feed half of Renfrew County, and of course, this time of year, a platter of freshly picked tomatoes and cucumbers.

That was called a light supper.

I loved those nights, because I loved Mother’s soup that had been simmering for days on the back of the Findlay Oval.

It was always a mystery

what you were spooning into your mouth the night we were served the soup. You may be able to distinguish the carrots and the onions, but by the time everything had been simmering for so long, the potatoes and parsnips were as one.

It wasn’t unusual to find a meatball, a smidgen of a pork chop, and even chunks of roast beef or the remains of a chicken leg in your soup

bowl.

Whatever had been left on the table after a meal, regardless what it was, went into the soup pot.

The night we had the soup, it was a “stick-to-yourribs” kind of meal, and when supper was over, back onto the stove went the pot.

More water added, three more bay leaves, and the pot was ready and waiting for Mother’s next batch of soup.

It was recycling at its finest. Long before the term became popular. Mother was a master at recycling, but without a doubt, her pot of ever-simmering soup on the back of the Findlay Oval was one our favourite meals back during those lean Depression years.

Apple cinnamon doughnuts a sweet treat anytime Lifestyle - The addition of apples makes these baked doughnuts soft and moist.

Once the batter is mixed, it’s best to bake them as soon as possible. Preparation time: 30 minutes. Baking Time: 10 to 12 minutes. Makes 12.

INGREDIENTS

• 375 mL (1-1/2 cups) all-purpose flour • 10 mL (2 tsp) baking powder • 2 mL (1/2 tsp) salt • 2 mL (1/2 tsp) ground cardamom • 2 eggs • 150 mL (2/3 cup) granulated sugar • 175 mL (3/4 cup) coarsely grated peeled apple • 50 mL (1/4 cup) buttermilk • 25 mL (2 tbsp) vegetable oil or butter, melted • 4 mL (3/4 tsp) vanilla

CINNAMON SUGAR

• 90 mL (6 tbsp) granulated sugar • 7 mL (1-1/2 tsp) ground cinnamon • 90 mL (6 tbsp) butter, melted PREPARATION

In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cardamom, if using.

In a large bowl, whisk eggs with sugar; stir in apple, but-

termilk, oil and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until moistened.

Spray two six-doughnut pans with cooking spray. Fill each cavity with about 50 ml (1/4 cup) batter. (If you have only one pan, cover and refrigerate remaining batter.) Bake in 180 C (350 F) oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until doughnuts spring back when touched and are light in colour.

Let cool in pan for three minutes; invert onto rack and let cool completely. Repeat with remaining batter if necessary, cleaning and re-spraying pan.

Cinnamon sugar: In medium bowl, mix sugar with cinnamon. Brush or dip doughnuts in butter to coat all over. Dip doughnuts into cinnamon sugar, pressing lightly to adhere.

Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, September 18, 2014 83

Vanier Community Association lists priorities Focus narrowed down to better serve the community Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The Vanier Community Association plans to narrow its focus this year to issues surrounding sustainable development, building community relations and fundraising.

“We plan to organize the activities under these three areas,” said Kirsten Duke, the association’s new president.

“We decided to get rid of the laundry list and narrow down the focus.”

The association welcomed a new board of directors on Sept. 9, its first board meeting since June.

Over the past few years,

Vanier has seen a resurgence, with more young families moving into the area as well as both big and small developers eyeing aging, large-sized lots.

The growing interest in the community has made those who volunteer for the sustainable development committee at times feel overwhelmed by both the number of applications and the task of trying to understand exactly what residents want.

The board and the committee itself have determined it needs to make guidelines in an effort to better respond to both development proposals and the community. These guidelines will be the first item the committee will tackle this year at its Oct. 7 meeting.

The association will aim to build community relations through membership drives and creating partnerships within the community.

The idea is to build a stron-

ger base, Duke added.

A new addition to the association’s monthly meeting is a 30-minute residents’ forum to take place before board business every meeting. Duke said this timeframe will give residents the opportunity to bring up new issues, concerns and ideas at the start of the meeting. If any decisions or motions need to be made concerning an item brought forward by a resident, the board will discuss and vote on the issue at the end of the meeting.

In its infancy, the association’s main focus was reaching out to residents, growing its membership and organizing committee structures. It has only been over the past few years that the association has made any efforts at fundraising.

The group has attempted to fundraise a few ways in the past, including through “Friends of Vanier,” a fund-

Vanier’s Community Association announced it will create guidelines to help respond to any future development proposals for the community. raiser where businesses could spend $120 for a place on the association’s website. They have also collected donations from residents at community events, but Duke indicated that this year the group would like to do more fundraising to help both this board and future

boards with finances.

The association said it has dedicated board members who will handle these three priorities as well as update members on any progress.

“We are committed to moving forward on these initiatives in the next two months,”

Duke said.

The association said it will post its plans concerning the three areas of interest, along with contact information for members and residents interested on participating in the initiative on its website, vanier-association.com.

ANNIVERSARY

To everyone who has supported us following our fire, we would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation. Your many acts of kindness come as no surprise, yet continue to overwhelm us still.

Few words can fully describe the gratitude we feel for our Mississippi Mills Fire Department – an amazing team of people who worked so hard to save our house. We would like to especially thank our neighbours, friends and relatives who also helped us the day of the fire, salvaging keepsakes that would have otherwise been lost forever. Thank you to Nancy and Elwyn Ziebarth, Lana and Barry Dean, our parents Doreen & Garnie Ziebarth, along with Gwen Skebo, the Deugo family and our friends who worked alongside us to begin the process of settling in a home-for-now. To M. Sullivan & Son Restoration, a debt of gratitude for all the hours of hard work put into rebuilding our home. Their expertise and guidance is second-to-none. Thank you to our workfamilies at the Almonte General Hospital and Ottawa Valley Oxygen; and to all our young friends at Pakenham Public School and St. Joseph’s Catholic School, Arnprior. To all the community groups and churches – bless you for helping us find our way. The boys would also like to thank the Valley Garden Tractor Pullers for the extra-special Tractor Pull in Carp.

Finally, a very heartfelt thank you to Uncle Greg and Aunt Nancy Ziebarth; Nancy’s crew of sisters and friends, Mike Ryan and the Pakenham Civitan Club for planning the most wonderful night in Pakenham!

Everyone danced to favorite songs provided by the Valley’s best musicians. It was a thrill to say thank you, in person, to so many people and also recognize our hard-working firefighters.

This will be a summer we will never forget. It is only through the kindness of each of you that the sad memories are fading and being replaced with new happy ones.

Thanks again.

Cindy, Jerry, Isaiah, Jackson and Matthew Skebo.

Ecology Ottawa putting focus on Orléans Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Ecology Ottawa has put an extra focus on Orléans, especially prior to the upcoming municipal election.

The organization has eight staff members, one of whom is dedicated specifically to ecology efforts in Orléans.

“We felt it was the major suburb that was most likely to be immediately responsive,” said Ecology Ottawa’s executive director Graham Saul.

“They’re most affected by the issues.”

The work started last year, when staff and volunteers started knocking on doors to begin a community discussion about environmental issues.

Robb Barnes, the staff member responsible for the Orléans outreach, said they have visited 10,000 homes in the area.

They have been knocking on doors to encourage residents to sign Ecology Ottawa petitions, and become aware of environmental issues in the

Université d’Ottawa

Ecology Ottawa has worked in Blackburn Hamlet with the community association and city to replace trees cut down or lost due to the emerald ash borer in a multi-year plan. community. They have also been recruiting volunteers.

Barnes said it’s unique for an organization to do this |

much suburban outreach.

One of the major issues in Orléans is the lack of an existing storm water management

plan. Ecology Ottawa will host an October meeting, date to be determined, on the city’s proposed flood protection and

University of Ottawa

watershed plan for Orléans.

It would address issues that caused some area basements to flood during the Sept. 5 heavy storm.

They will also host a meeting, sometime in October, about the transportation plan for the east end. Ecology Ottawa wants to see light rail transit extended to Place d’Orléans as soon as possible.

And on Oct. 4, they will be in Blackburn Hamlet planting trees. The tree planting initiative was a group effort between the Blackburn Community Association, the city and Ecology Ottawa to replace trees that were lost to the emerald ash borer. The collaboration is a model that is now being examined to be used in other affected communities across the city, Saul said.

“We want to try and reproduce Blackburn Hamlet’s multi-year vision in the wake of the emerald ash borer,” he said. The organization is currently hiring more staff to work on the initiative.

ELECTION WORK

In the lead up to the Oct. 27 municipal election, Ecology Ottawa is polling all council candidates on five determined pillars, such as water, streets, and trees.

In the weeks leading up to the election, they will release the candidates’ answers to one pillar a week on the organization’s website.

They are also reaching out to each of the council candidates in Innes Ward, as the race to fill Innes Ward Coun.

Rainer Bloess’ seat has attracted nine candidates.

“There is a huge amount of support for action on the issues, and this is reflected in the surveys,” Saul said.

To stay updated on events, including the two October meetings on the transportation plan and proposed flood protection and watershed plan, visit www.ecologyottawa.ca.

“If you care about transportation in your community, trees in your neighbourhood, the city has a major impact on your home and how you live your life,” Saul said.

“This is an important election.”

Thompson gala marks 31 years in politics Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

R0012891774_0911

News - After 31 years of service, it was time to give Osgoode Coun.

Doug Thompson some attention of his own.

More than 200 people gathered at the Greely Community Centre on Sept. 6 for a farewell gala as Thompson gears up for retirement this fall.

The fundraising event supported the Township of Osgoode Care Centre – a facility Thompson helped create more than 25 years ago, and one he still serves as a member of the board.

The event raised about $26,000 for the long-term care facility, according to organizer Wendy Hill.

The evening was one of many surprises – including an appearance from Thompson’s all-time favourite singer, “Elvis Presley.”

Outside, the community centre lawn was decorated with Thompson’s old election signs, as well as Thompson’s beloved van, which for years has used its distinct decor to announce Thompson’s arrival at hundreds of community events.

Inside, a colourful display of Thompson’s many hats – literally and figuratively – as well as doz-

ens of T-shirts, plaques and certificates helped guests look back at the councillor’s broad involvement in Osgoode Township and beyond.

The 68-year-old began his political career as a councillor in Osgoode Township before becoming mayor and then joining Ottawa’s city council after amalgamation in 2000.

Thompson’s friend Al Page MCed the evening, an event he promised would be modelled on Thompson’s core political belief: “If you can get someone else to toot your own horn, the sound carries twice as far,” Page joked.

Other speakers also poked fun at Thompson’s storied career.

Mayor Jim Watson told of Thompson’s city-wide fame for never missing a free meal, and RideauGoulbourn Scott Moffatt – only 33 – noted that Thompson has basically been in office for Moffatt’s entire life.

But the night offered heartfelt moments, too.

“He’s in it for the right reasons,” Watson said. “You can never question his motives. He puts the interests of his constituents first and foremost. He brings that calm, steely voice of reason to the council table ... and if he doesn’t agree, he’ll tell

you.

“Thank you for your leadership and your friendship,” Watson said.

It didn’t take long for the speeches and jokes to give way to dancing – led by Thompson himself alongside the king of rock and roll.

Stopping short of taking over the microphone, Thompson led lady after lady onto the dance floor, including his wife Mary Lynne, daughter Angela, assistant Jenn Johnson, and long-time friend Dorothy Wynn, whose son he taught in Grade 2.

By the time he was ready to make his speech, Thompson had gathered his four children and wife around him for support.

He brought all of his family members to the front so his guests could thank them for the sacrifices they made while he served the township.

“I think it’s important (my family) understands the sacrifices they gave, over time, have opened up opportunities for so many people,” Thompson said.

“It’s important you are here tonight to see the things you gave up were not given up in vain.”

His daughter Angela summed up their tearful response.

“After 30 years in politics, we are so happy to take you back.”
