EMC news - Olivia Pralow celebrated her sixth birthday on Sunday, Sept. 9, with a birthday party at the Funhaven Family Fun Centre. The Grade 1 student at Jack Donohue Public School will be celebrated as an Honoured Hero at this year’s Light the Night Walk, having finished her last chemotherapy treatment on Aug. 4. Participating in her third event, Olivia said her favourite part is “the balloons.” She will proudly be carrying a white balloon, a survivor’s balloon. Olivia was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in May 2010. DIAGNOSIS

One day before the Pralow’s received the key to their new Morgan’s Grant home, the family received a call from their doctor telling them a blood test for Olivia had come back as abnormal. The then-three-year-old had been in and out of the emergency room at the hospital with fevers and pains in her leg and back. “The doctor called and said, ‘You have to bring her to CHEO,’” said Olivia’s mother, Dianne. The following day, the family was told Olivia had acute lymphoblastic leukemia and she began aggressive treatment. Her father, Oliver, said he felt “shock” and “numbness” when the diagnosis came in.

Parkway condo plans revised Public meeting to be held on Sept. 18 Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
EMC news - Another set of revisions have been submitted to the city regarding a proposed development in Beaverbrook. Developer Ken Hoppner, of the Morley Hoppner Group, has submitted a third modification to his application to rezone
the land at 2 The Parkway. The changes include 10 townhouses and a 10-storey apartment building. Calls to the developer had not been returned as of press time. “If they want to do a mixture of apartment and townhouses, that’s fine with me,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. “(But) the 10-storey apartment is still too high in my view.”
She added the developer is saying one of the stories is “below ground” but that’s because they’ll be building up the ground around the apartment – meaning although only nine storeys will be visible, the building is still 10 storeys high. Wilkinson and the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association (KBCA) will be hosting a public meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 18, at the Kanata Recreation Complex, 100 Walter Baker Pl., from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. See LATEST PROPOSAL, page 2

Latest proposal still not acceptable: KBCA Continued from page 1
Wilkinson said the hope is “to come up with something that would be acceptable to the community,” at the meeting. “While the latest proposal for 2 The Parkway has apparently dropped the number of units, from the information we have at this point, it is still not going to be acceptable to the community,” said Beata Myhill, member of the KBCA. “The visual impact of the building from Teron Road, which is the main face of the community, would be greater since it apparently will fea-
ture a three-metre garage wall almost at the property line. The height is far in excess of existing zoning and clearly violates the Official Plan for transitions.” Changes still need to be made for the development to really fit, “But we’re getting closer,” said Wilkinson. DELAYED
The Morley Hoppner Group’s first submitted plan asked for the city to rezone the property to allow for a 16-storey residential building with 125 units. The second revision by the developer in-

cluded a nine-storey mid-rise residential building with 120 units, with an amenity area above the ninth-storey. The release of a report by city planning staff has been delayed a number of times and with a third revision, will be delayed further. The city’s recommendation was to first be released on June 29. It was pushed back to Aug. 13, and now is set to be available sometime this fall, after a public meeting on the new changes. “That report was never formally submitted to the committee. It was supposed to be but it was pulled at the last minute by the planning staff,” said Wilkinson. The Kourier-Standard received an informal copy of that report. According to the report from June 12, the planning committee was not going to accept the developer’s proposal. The report states, “The density proposed far exceeds any other building within the neighbourhood… it is clear that the proposal does not satisfy all of the policies in the (Official) Plan – particularly those policies dealing with intensification in existing, established low-rise neighbourhoods.
“Also, a further look into the proposed units shows that 95 of the 120 units proposed are already two-bedroom units ranging from (82 to 177 square metres), which, in the absence of a unit density cap, could allow further reconfiguration of the building layout and increase the density even farther beyond that currently proposed. With the subject site already exceeding the unit density targeted for the designated Mixed Use Centre and Town Centre for all of Kanata, the proposal is not acceptable.” Wilkinson added it’s likely the planning department let the developer know his application was going to be refused. “They weren’t given the report but they were given the reasons,” said Wilkinson. Myhill said the summer delays have been “frustrating” since the community association is a volunteer organization. “We have had to change our vacation plans several times over the summer to be available when meetings were scheduled,” she said. “It is difficult to make sure our planner is available to support us in our presentation to the planning committee when the dates keep changing.

Beaverbrook is also dealing with an application to rezone the land at 1131 Teron Rd. to allow three-storey townhomes and a two-tier 10- and 15-storey apartment building. A number of meetings have been held in the community over the past year to discuss both proposals. “I think that ‘wearing them down’ is part of the strategy that developers use. It is not just the burden of time, but also of expense that forms this strategy, since community associations do not have the deep pockets of developers,” said Myhill. “However, in Beaverbrook, this is not go-
ing to work. We are not going away. At every public meeting, the number of attendees is increasing.” She added the number of comments the city has received – over 300 for this application – is “far beyond” what is normally submitted. “The community has invested a great deal of time and effort to submit thoughtful and well-reasoned comments and suggestions, based on the Official Plan, not merely emotion,” said Myhill. “Spot re-zoning looks like it is going to become a significant issue in the next municipal election. Residents throughout the city are increasingly frustrated by a process that is based on argument rather than on zoning that can be counted on.”

All qualified applicants’ expressions of interest will be posted on the board’s website, www.ocdsb.ca. The board is scheduled to hold a public meeting on either Oct. 16 or 18 – a date hasn’t been confirmed yet
– to interview the candidates and select the new trustee. All qualified candidates must make a five-minute presentation to the board. The successful candidate will be sworn in during a meeting held on Oct. 23, and serve a term ending Nov. 30, 2014. No applications had been received as of Friday, Sept. 7, said Giroux, adding she’s received several phone calls from people interested in the position. Anyone interested in applying for the position of
Kanata trustee should send an expression of interest and a resume to Michele Giroux, executive officer, corporate services, Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, 133 Greenbank Rd., Ottawa, Ont., K2H 6L3.

Light the Night Walk helps family cope with cancer diagnosis “You definitely go through a shock period,” said Dianne. “You honestly don’t remember a lot.” She said family, friends, coworkers and neighbours rallied to help the family move into their new home. “It was incredible, the amount of people that helped us out,” Dianne said. WALK
The family first heard of the Light the Night Walk through Oliver’s sister, just after Olivia’s diagnosis. “She rallied a lot of people to walk,” said Dianne. “It was really emotional that year. We didn’t know if Olivia would be able to go.” She did go that year, and in 2011. Although she was unable to walk the route, Olivia was pushed in a stroller. “We even got hot chocolate!” said Olivia. This year, Olivia said she thinks she’ll walk the route. This is her first time registering as a walker – she said she wants to help raise funds. The family said taking part in the first Light the Night Walk helped them cope with the news of Olivia’s diagnosis. “For us, it was very important,” said Dianne. “When Olivia was diagnosed…it was a comfort.” Olivia’s team goes by the name team “Love & Lights for
Olivia” and raised more than $5,000 last year. This year, the goal is to bring in $7,500. “It means a lot for us to be able to give back,” said Dianne. “It’s about giving back and knowing how important research has been in Olivia’s treatment.” “It’s supporting the research,” said Oliver.

Ottawa fire department members march in a parade en route to honour fallen firefighters at city hall on Sept. 7. duty since 1848. Governor General of Canada David Johnston recited the names of 12 firefighters who were added to the list of fatalities in 2011. Among the names was Jean-Luc Deba, a 54-yearold pilot who died on May 20, 2011, in a helicopter crash while fighting fires in Slave Lake, Alberta. “I came here to remember my brother,” said Laurence Deba, who traveled from France for the ceremony. “It gives me lots of hope… he’ll be remembered as someone important.” Louise Rea from North Perth, Ont. was also presented with an honorary medal and
helmet. Her husband Kenneth Rea was one of two firefighters who died battling a blaze at a Dollar Stop store in downtown Listowel, Ont. on March 17, 2011. “It was very overwhelming, I’m honored to be here,” said Louise. Kenneth was 56 when he died. The Canadian Firefighters Memorial cost $5 million, including $2 million which was raised by the Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation, $2.5 million from the Government of Canada’s Department of Heritage and $500,000 of inkind donations.

EMC news – About 200 Ottawa firefighters marched to city hall as part of a solemn ceremony to honour local fallen colleagues during the 11th annual Firefighters Memorial Service held on Friday, Sept. 7. The ceremony honoured the lives of three men who died in the line of duty and 13 others who died while not fighting fires. Several dignitaries, including Ottawa fire Chief John deHooge, Mayor Jim Watson and Ontario Minister of Transportation Bob Chiarelli, delivered messages that paid tribute to those who had selflessly given their lives in the line of duty. “Each and everyday firefighters risk their own lives in order to save and protect the lives of others,” said Watson. He hailed the Ottawa Fire Services for playing an important role in the community, adding their dedication to the city is to be admired. “Today we honour and remember firefighters who have lost their lives on the line of duty. We also honour and remember the firefighters who have served our community and have since passed away.” The fire chief presented flowers and certificates to the families of the fallen firefighters and a bell rang out after
each name was read. “We are here in reverence to support and comfort our families in their loss, and to offer the continuing love and support of the Ottawa Fire Services,” said fire chief John deHooge. “We are here to honour their memory by remembering their courage and sense of duty, to respect their service to humanity, their fellow firefighters and our nation’s capital.” The service was also marked by the unveiling of three new plaques at the Ottawa Firefighters Memorial to remember the dead. “These plaques are a humbling tribute to the memory of those courageous firefighters, who sacrificed while protecting others,” said Chiarelli. “We keep their legacies alive by gathering here and showing our respect. They were outstanding individuals who made a difference in the communities they served.” In a related development, on Sept. 9 part of LeBreton Flats was transformed into a permanent memorial site, honouring more than 1,100 fallen Canadian firefighters. A six-meter-high bronze statue of a firefighter stands tall, his right arm pointing to a commemorative wall. Etched into the granite are the words “Never to be Forgotten,” alongside the names of firefighters who died in the line of

The three-day, 270-kilometre Ride to Turn the Tide event took the group from Kanata to Perth, via Ashton, Appleton and Almonte, through Merrickville and Metcalfe, and back to Kanata. “We got the African sunshine,” said granny Elly Khazaie. “We were prepared for rain and we didn’t get a drop.” Mander said the group had a lot of support and encouragement along the way. “We had a wonderful ride,” said Mander. The Grassroot Grannies were hosted by 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 Grassroot Grannies have raised more than $103,000 over the last three rides for their African counterparts. The Stephen Lewis Foundation estimates that between 40 to 60 per cent of African AIDS orphans live with their grandmothers. “I think anything to make their life a little easier is good. And anything to stop the spread of AIDS – it’s a really difficult disease to live with,” said cyclist Stella Val in an earlier interview. It was the Nepean resident’s first time taking part in the Ride. For more information on the group, visit grassrootgrannies. com.

Ratanak is currently assisting more than 90 rescued children while providing Human Trafficking Prevention Training to thousands.

EMC news - A group of grandparents raised more than $43,000 to help their counterparts in Africa. The Grassroot Grannies beat their goal of $35,000 with the third-annual Ride to Turn the Tide event for the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, a part of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. The campaign raises funds and awareness for African grandmothers raising their orphaned grandchildren who have lost their parents to AIDS. “I think really, that’s the reason we’re so successful. We truly believe in the cause,” said Kanata granny Shirley Mander, who added the total funds raised is still being tallied. “We are tremendously pleased with our results.” Twenty-two cyclists rode in to the Bushtukah store on Hazeldean Road just after noon on Friday, Sept. 7, to cheers, whistles and applause from those gathered to welcome them home. “You can be very proud of your accomplishments,” said granny Jill Doherty, who helped manage the welcome home party. “Thank you for doing this for the grandmothers of Africa.” Each cyclist was presented with a certificate from the city to recognize their “contribution to make the world a better place.” “We should all applaud you for what you’ve done,” said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, who presented the certificates.

Get electoral boundary changes right
U
ndertaking the task of redrawing federal electoral boundaries is surely daunting, but it serves to ensure all Canadians are as equitably represented in the House of Commons as possible. While the recent announcement of a proposed federal electoral map makes several positive moves for voters in the city of Ottawa, it also fails to address an issue that many residents of this
city can relate to: the urbansuburban-rural divides. The total number of electoral districts required in Ontario has grown by 15 to 121, triggered by 2011 census data showing this province’s population has grown by more than 1.4 million since 2001. According to the proposal created by a federal electoral boundaries commission, a number of new ridings have been created in areas of dramatic population growth across the province. Some
existing riding boundaries have likewise been adjusted. Among them are the proposed new riding of Nepean and the renamed riding of Carleton-Kanata, formerly Carleton-Mississippi Mills. There are positive aspects to both of these moves, but they were easy decisions to make. Move the western border of the renamed Carleton-Kanata riding to the city limits, break off the well-populated suburban chunk of the massive Nepean-Carleton riding and
name it Nepean. Job done. But there are missed opportunities here. Residents in rural places like Carp, Fitzroy Harbour and Dunrobin are still at the mercy of the suburban voters in Kanata. The voices of voters in Dwyer Hill, North Gower and Metcalfe are still drowned out by residents of Stittsville, Riverside South and Greely – larger, denser suburban nooks in what is mainly a rural riding. The situation is slightly dif-
ferent in the east end, where pockets of voters in places like Cumberland, Carlsbad Springs, Vars and Sarsfield remain in the sprawling Glengarry-Prescott-Russell riding, despite the fact they pay city property taxes. These examples stand out as missed opportunities for the commission, opportunities to ensure voters receive fair, balanced representation in the House of Commons. Presently, it must be difficult for an MP, such as Nepe-
an-Carleton’s Pierre Poilievre or Carleton-Mississippi Mills’ Gordon O’Connor, to balance the way they represent their constituents. They are beholden to two different viewpoints, but one of those viewpoints gets them elected, the other – owing to smaller numbers – doesn’t. The federal electoral boundaries commission should be doing its utmost to make this balancing act easier for our elected officials, so they can serve an electorate with common concerns. If it involves redrawing the entire Ottawa electoral map to ensure the population is balanced, so be it.

Giving a nod to the wave CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
W
aving is important. We don’t do it enough either. The other day, in one of those inevitable construction lineups on Highway 7, I watched the guy in front of me wave to the flagman as we started moving after a long delay. The flagman waved back. I waved too. He waved back at me. It was nice. Now, what did it mean? What were we all saying to each other? The guy in front, was he saying “thanks for waving me on, for changing the STOP sign to the SLOW sign�? Or was he saying: “No hard feelings: it’s not your fault I had to sit here for five minutes.� Or was he saying: “Thanks for standing out in the hot sun all day so that all of us don’t go crunching into some construction machinery?� What about the flag guy? Was he saying “thanks for being so patient� or was he saying “thanks for waving?� It could have been any or all of that, or none of it. Probably what mattered most of all was that we were human beings acknowledging that we’re all in this together, which, when you think about it, we don’t do often enough. On our lakes there is an old tradition that people in boats wave at people in other boats as they pass. Who knows what that means, perhaps something about members of the community of boaters saluting each other. The funny thing is you notice it when it doesn’t happen. And if it does happen, it can change the way you think about the other boater. Say he’s driving some great big noisy overpowered ocean liner of a boat that you think has no business being on a lake this size. And
as you’re thinking that, he gives you a friendly wave. Oh well, you think, at least he waved. Waving is a connection. Sometimes it’s an unpleasant connection, such as the well-known one-finger wave which usually occurs in traffic. Other times the connection is fleeting and distant. Children wave at a passing train. Passengers wave back. What does it mean for either of them? Yet they couldn’t not do it. The wave as “thank you� figures prominently in our daily lives. You know the situation: You’re coming out of a gas station or a side street into a heavy stream of traffic and somebody slows to let you in. When you are safely into the traffic, you wave your thanks. With your whole hand. And you mean it. Without people like that, willing to give up a few seconds of their busy lives, we’d be living in chaos, gridlock interrupted by some people barging into traffic and others slamming on their brakes. There would be a lot more one-finger waving then. The funny thing is that, even though the sacrifice we make in letting someone in is tiny, we still expect to be thanked for it. We want to see that wave. When we don’t, we are annoyed. “Wave, dammit,� we mutter from behind the steering wheel. The same thing goes for when we hold open a door for someone. It’s certainly no trouble, but we expect thanks for it. It may be sheer vanity but it may also be that we like people to acknowledge that we exist. Such acknowledgement is all the more important in an age when so many of our dealings are with computers, robots and other gizmos that know us only as a number, if at all. So we wave our thanks and feel thankful for waves. Mind you, for some of us, no thanks are required. Simply doing the good deed is reward enough. Those would be the saints among us. Too bad more of us are not like that, but then we’d all be saints and who would we look up to? And who would we look down at?

To the editor: We live in a crazy world. As children, we spend all kinds of time in school, training - learning. Learning to read, learning to write. Learning math. Learning science. Learning about how the world works. School progresses and we learn more and more, and eventually many of us truck off to university, where we learn even more specialized and advanced training. We learn to be doctors, lawyers, accountants. We learn the tools to succeed professionally. But what does success really mean - and what about the rest of life? What about the other things - family, friends? Where is it that we learn to be good husbands and wives; good partners? Where do we learn how to parent our children? And assuming we figure that out OK, what on earth do we do when those kids become teenagers? How do we help steer them through the difficult issues that plague teens these days? The truth is that there aren’t a lot of options out there for help in these areas. We look to our own experi-
ence to figure out how to do this. We may look at our parents’ marriages to work out how to be good partners. We look at how we were brought up; we talk to our friends about what they do to figure out how to navigate the parenting maze. We get it right sometimes; we get it wrong sometimes. We learn through trial and error, and refine, and hope for the best. We rely on instinct. The trouble is, these instincts aren’t always enough. If we look around at society, we can see the problems. Marriages breaking down, because people struggle to talk and relate to each other; to understand each other. Kids struggling with bullying, drugs, guns, peer pressure, suicide. The effects are farreaching and they impact a lot more than just the immediate people involved. They affect our homes; our neighbourhoods; our communities, our countries. What can be done? How can we help each other succeed in all areas of life? A group of concerned citizens in the west end of Ottawa, have joined together to examine what we as a community can do to help. See www.
buildingstrongfamilies.ca for more information. This fall in Kanata and Stittsville, there will be a series of courses offered that focus around building strong families. The courses offered will include marriage preparation (for those looking to get married), the marriage course, the parenting children course, and the parenting teenagers course. These courses were developed by Nicky and Sila Lee in the United Kingdom, and are now running in many countries. They are fun, informative, and free (though optional materials may be provided at cost). The courses in Kanata and Stittsville will start in the fall, and will be offered on different nights and different locations so that as many people as possible can attend. The courses will start in the first week of October. Visit the website: buildingstrongfamiles.ca for more information. Christy Bhatnagar Kanata

EMC news - The community of Briarbrook, Brookside and Morgan’s Grant is home to many young families who will be wondering what to do with all their diapers when garbage pickup switches to bi-weekly collection this fall. To address this question and others related to upcoming waste pick-up changes, the Briarbrook and Morgan’s Grant Community Association (BMGCA) has invited Coun. Maria McRae, chair of the city of Ottawa’s environment committee, to speak at its next general meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the Old March Town Hall. The hall is located at 821 March Rd., but access to the parking lot is on Klondike Road, between March Road and Weatherston Drive. When the garbage collection schedule changes, green bin collection will remain weekly, while blue and black bin collection will continue on alternate weeks. Also on the agenda for Sept. 19: • Coun. Marianne Wilkinson will give an update on city issues, including the proposed expansion of the urban growth boundary north on March Road to St. Isidore’s
church. The BMGCA will share its plans for fall events such as the Halloween decorating contest, community greening and improvements, and available positions within the BMGCA executive committee for 2013. BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP

EMC news - Terry Fox continues to inspire others 32 years after he began his first coast-to-coast run. The annual Kanata/Stittsville Terry Fox Run will take place on Sunday, Sept. 16, from 9 a.m. to noon, to raise funds for the Terry Fox Foundation and cancer research. “Everybody’s got different reasons for doing it,” said run organizer Michael Ward. “On a national level or a personal level, I think Terry Fox continues to inspire people.” Last year, the Kanata/ Stittsville run raised $36,000
and had more than 370 participants, and has raised more than $550,000 since 1989. Ward said the goal is to keep increasing the numbers and ensure the run is accessible to everybody in the community. “We need to continue,” he said. “And pass it on to the younger generation.” Ward said people usually have their own reasons for participating. “People translate it into their own lives; they may have friends or family who are battling or have battled cancer,” he said.

Ward lost his father to lung cancer and his wife’s mother to pancreatic cancer in the same week back in 2003. “I got involved for personal reasons,” he said. “As recent as yesterday I found a co-worker has a recurrence of cancer in his lungs. “You look for things you can do.” Ward added it’s great to see other communities getting involved. Last year, Constance Bay hosted its first Terry Fox Run, attracting 75 runners and raising more than $4,400 for cancer research. “The more communities that have them the better; even if you’ve got 20, 30 people, it’s all about the community celebrating,” said Ward. “It’s a bit more personal on that level too.” The Kanata/Stittsville Terry Fox Run will follow the Trans Canada Trail, starting at the Pura Vida Bistro at 220 Terence Matthews Cres., out to Stittsville and back.

Terry Fox’s brother inspires students to work hard Eddie Rwema
eddie.rwema@metroland.com
EMC news - Fred Fox offered students at Carleton University a message of hope on Sept. 6 and urged them to work hard to keep his brother Terry’s dream alive. Thirty-two years ago, Terry Fox captured the imagination of the country with his Marathon of Hope. This fall, students at universities across Canada are uniting to celebrate his legacy and raise money for
cancer research. “It is important that students realize that it doesn’t matter what age you are at, it is still important to continue what Terry started and raise money to find cure for cancer,” Fred Fox told students on Sept. 6, as Carleton joined the effort, called Terry’s CAUSE - College and University Student Engagement. Eight Canadian universities are part of the initiative that will see them hold a major campus event that includes
runs and other fundraisers with all proceeds going to the Terry Fox Foundation. Carleton will join with students from the University of Ottawa for a joint run that will take place on Sept. 16 Terry was 18 years old when he was diagnosed with bone cancer and forced to have his right leg amputated 15 centimetres above the knee in 1977. While in hospital, Terry was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients, many

of them young children, that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He called his journey the Marathon of Hope. “It is not just about research and finding a cure for cancer, he was showing people you could accomplish anything if you give all you have,” Fred Fox said. As provincial director for The Terry Fox Foundation in British Columbia, Fox said he has witnessed first-hand the impact his brother’s legacy had on countless supporters and cancer research. Fox spoke of the importance to continue what his brother started in 1980. “I am proud of the passion that people have for Terry,” he said. “We are proud that so many people look up to Terry and are inspired to have their own hope in the things that they are doing.” Terry started his run in St. John’s, N.L., on April 12, 1980. Enthusiasm grew and the money collected along his route began to mount. He ran 42 kilometres a day through Canada’s Atlantic provinces, Quebec and Ontario. However, on Sept. 1, after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres, Terry was forced to stop running outside of Thunder Bay, because cancer had appeared in his lungs. He passed away on June 28, 1981 at the age 22.
EDDIE RWEMA/METROLAND
Terry Fox’s brother, Fred, helps launch Terry’s CAUSE (College and University Student Engagement) at Carleton University. “After being diagnosed with cancer for the second time, Terry said the Marathon of Hope must continue without me,” Fox said of his brother’s historic run. “He passed a baton to thousands of people creating a legacy that is 32 years running.” Despite Terry’s young age, Fox said he had an incredible vision. “He learned young that life was precious and short and believed cancer provided him with a purpose,” he said. “His message was a call out for people to unite and work together.”

Fox urged students to work hard. “You guys are making a difference. If it wasn’t for people like you, Terry’s dream would have faded long time,” he said. Will Johnson, one of the run organizers at Carleton said Terry is an inspiration to them all. Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s John Bell said while great strides have been made in cancer research in the past 30 years, there is still much more to be done. More than $600 million has been raised in Terry’s name in the past 32 years.

Easy-to-make ‘mother sauce’
souper
O
f all the millions of recipes that exist in cookbooks, there’s one which is found more often than any other. It appears in cookbooks published around the world – from Eastern Ontario to France to Australia. You probably have it in at least one of the cookbooks in your kitchen right now. The recipe is for a “basic white sauce,” and it’s made with three ingredients – butter, flour and milk. In France, they call it “one of the great sauces,” but they also have another name for it – the “sauce mere” or “mother sauce.” And that’s probably the best name for this sauce because it’s the starting point for so many different recipes. Farm Boy™ all-natural soups are just like homemade. Made with fresh It can be flavoured with cheese, herbs, mustard (never frozen) vegetables and no artificial flavours or preservatives, or wine, and served over vegetables, meat, poultry there’s no added sugar or salt, so they’re wholesomely good.

NATURAL
PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff and you can use this basic sauce recipe for any other dish that calls for it. The microwave technique for cooking it is explained stepby-step. CREAMED SALMON ON TOAST
• 2 tbsp. butter or margarine • 2 tbsp. flour • 2 cups milk • 1/2 tsp. butter or margarine • 1/2 cup frozen peas • 1/2 medium onion, chopped • 2 cans (213 gram) salmon, drained • salt, pepper to taste Use a microwave-safe bowl or a measuring cup that holds four cups. In the bowl, melt two tablespoons of butter or margarine on high for 40 to 50 seconds. Stir in the flour until it forms a smooth paste. There’s no need to cook this mixture. Add the milk all at once and stir well. Microwave on
high, uncovered, for four to five minutes. During this time, stir the sauce once every minute, scraping around the bottom of the bowl to mix in all the flour paste. When the sauce is slightly thickened, cook it one to two minutes longer on high. This time, stir the sauce every 30 seconds to prevent lumps from forming and the sauce from boiling over. The sauce is done when it’s thickened and bubbly. If you’re making creamed salmon on toast, place the half teaspoon of butter, frozen peas and onion in a small microwave-safe dish. Cover and cook on high for two minutes. Stir the onion mixture and the salmon into the white sauce. Cook on high for one to two minutes longer, stirring every 30 seconds, to heat the salmon. To serve, spoon over toast. Use one or two pieces of toast per person. Serves four.

here was no doubt about it, Father needed a new suit. The only one he owned was threadbare, and even though he hadn’t grown an inch, the cuffs on the legs were above his ankles. There was no getting around it. He needed a new suit, and the ad in the weekly Renfrew Mercury was just what the doctor ordered – three pieces for $14. Father said there was no money for such frivolity. Mother said going to the Lutheran Church on Sunday dressed like a tramp raised the purchase well above frivolity. I knew Mother had waited until the big wood box of hand-me-downs had come from Aunt Lizzie in Regina to make sure there wouldn’t be something suitable from Uncle Jack. But as always, whatever Uncle Jack once wore had to be severely altered before it would fit Father. Uncle Jack was about Father’s height, but there the similarity ended. Uncle Jack was more round than long. His arms were huge and hung well below his hips, and it always looked like he was carrying a bag of grain under his jacket. Without altering the suit, you could put at least two of Father in it. Now Mother, when she

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories moved to the farm out in Northcote, tried her best to master the old pedal Singer sewing machine and she did well on simple things like clothes for Audrey and me, making aprons and even simple house dresses out of Dan River cotton, but when it came to trying to make Father fit into one of Uncle Jack’s suits, she failed miserably. The Mercury had come in the middle of the week and Mother said there was just about enough money in the blue sugar bowl in the back-to-the-wall cupboard to buy the suit. What was lacking would be made up when Mother peddled her eggs, butter and chickens on Saturday in Renfrew. So it was decided Saturday was the day Father would be getting his new $14 suit. The excitement ran high that week in our old log house in Northcote. That didn’t mean we could ease off on the workload. Chores were done as usual morning and night in the barns and Mother made sure my sister Audrey and I kept up with what was expected of us in the house too. But you’d think we were all getting a new outfit, not just Father, as the day of this major purchase drew closer. Mother took the blue sugar bowl out of the cupboard a few days before we were to head into Renfrew. She dumped the coins out on the kitchen table with a couple crumpled $1 bills. Then she moved the money over to the top of the ice box and stacked the coins in little piles on top of the bills. The blue sugar bowl went back into the cup-

board. She figured she’d have to sell at least four chickens, five or six pounds of butter, and six dozen eggs to make up the difference. The day before we were to head into Renfrew, just before we were to sit down to eat at noon, Father came into the kitchen. He stood silently at the back door, never taking his eyes off it. “Broke. Just as I was putting it on Queenie. This is the piece I have fixed at least a dozen times. I’m afraid it won’t take another fixing. Can’t use the team without it.” Mother went to the ice box and slid the coins into her hand with the bills. It would take just about all of it to replace the worn-out harness that should have been replaced long before. Horses and their harness meant survival back in the 1930s. Nothing more was said about the $14 suit. We went into Renfrew as usual on Saturday for our few supplies. It would be a long time before the blue sugar bowl had in it enough for what Father called a frivolity like a new suit. Sunday morning saw him at the Lutheran Church in the same old suit he had worn for years. Mary Cook will be speaking about the “Joy of Memories” at the Friends of the Experimental Farm annual general meeting on Sept. 19.

South Ottawa Race Day aims to end brain cancer Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
EMC news - The brain cancer battles of two Steve MacLean Public School members – one a 38-year-old mother who lost her battle last summer, the other a Grade 2 student currently fighting for her life – have inspired an entire community to find a cure. A former Earl of March Secondary School student, Heather Geddie was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour in 2009, and fought for two years until she passed away in July 2011. Two of her three children, then aged 9 and 15, had attended Steve MacLean Public School in Riverside South. A group of parents from the school were so inspired by Geddie’s positive attitude that after her death they decided to host the South Ottawa Race Day, which will fundraise for brain cancer research at the Rideau Carleton Raceway on Sunday, Sept. 30. But well into planning for the big event, the community received a second blow this spring when another Steve MacLean family discovered their daughter Sofia has an inoperable brain tumour. She would have been going into Grade 2 this year, but is instead fighting her disease at CHEO. The race day will include
a two-kilometre family walk/ run, a five-km walk/run, a 10km route and a half marathon or half marathon relay through rural Ottawa South. A free barbecue, a children’s corner provided by the Manotick co-operative nursery school and speeches from Geddie’s family will take place after the races are all finished. But it’s not just the small organizing group that has come together, said co-organizer Karen Sinclair. Businesses, dance studios, students and parents who never met Geddie or Sofia have jumped on board to raise funds and awareness. Dance Roots studio choreographed an awareness flash mob at the school last June, and a ladies’ night fundraiser in February sold out more than 400 tickets in just a few days. A group of 8-yearold girls sold $166 worth of lemonade in August, and on Sat. Sept. 15 the Broadways on Earl Armstrong Road will host a live band fundraiser for Sofia, which will contribute to the race day’s totals. “It’s amazing how interwoven this has become,” Sinclair said. Geddie was an enthusiastic athlete, and Sinclair, who was close to Geddie, said it made sense to pair their fundraising efforts with something active. Adding Sofia’s cause to the banner has only served as a

Sinclair and three other parents from Steve MacLean Public School will host a fundraising race day in her memory on Sept. 29. poignant reminder that brain cancer is prevalent everywhere, she said. Sinclair said the group hopes to raise $40,000, which the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation’s board of directors will help direct to a worthy brain cancer research project.
Fellow organizer and Steve MacLean parent Chris Hill, who didn’t know Geddie, said he was motivated by her positive attitude and the community’s response during her illness. He said the event will help people grieve her loss and celebrate her life while helping to end cancer.
“I think people wanted an outlet to express their grief and express their inspiration,” he said. Geddie was born in Nova Scotia but grew up in Kanata, where she graduated from the Earl of March Secondary School. She studied Recreational Marine Management
at St. Lawrence College in Kingston and then worked for two years at a small shipyard before moving back to Kanata in 1997. A great lover of sports, Geddie spent the last eight years of her life in Greely where she focused on family activities including playing tennis, spending time at the cottage in Calabogie and skiing at the Peaks, according to her biography on southottawaraceday.ca. She and her family also developed strong ties to the church community in Manotick, and her husband Kevin will perform with the Manotick Village Singers on the race day. Her children Breanna, Ryan, and Colin will all take part in the event, and her parents will talk to the crowds about their daughter’s fight. Sinclair said Geddie remained positive throughout her entire illness, and was always thinking of others before herself. “She honestly never said a bad word about anybody, she was always looking on the bright side and thinking of how to help people,” Sinclair said. “She was quite a humanitarian in that sense and we wanted to keep that positive outlook going.” For more information, sponsor a participant or to register for the event visit www. southottawaraceday.ca.

EMC news - Barrhaven, Manotick and Riverside South residents now have an alternative to heading to the emergency room thanks to a new urgent care centre on Greenbank Road. The urgent care centre – which opened on Sept. 10 – is part of the Rideau Valley Health Centre, which opened in November. “Barrhaven and Manotick have always been part of the Kemptville District Hospital’s catchement,” said CEO Colin Goodfellow. “Fifty years ago it was just a small community in the middle of farmers’ fields, but now we have to bring services to the area.” Goodfellow said the new centre has nine treatment spaces, a casting room, diagnostic imaging and an ambulance bay. He said he expects it will generate the same number of visits per year as the Kemptville Hospital – which sees about 21,000 patients per year. “This will also unclog emergency rooms and it won’t keep you there for 20 hours and cost you $20 in parking,” Goodfellow said. Sonographer Tahir Mahmood said the ultrasound equipment onsite will help doctors examine joints and vascular areas as well as carry out the more traditional abdominal and pelvic exams. “It’s very safe and a lot less expensive than an MRI or CT Scan,” Mahmood said. Goodfellow said the ambulance bay is for patients with vascular or other serious problems that need to be taken to hospital. There is also space used to stabilize patients who will be transported to an emergency room. The centre will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. from Monday to Friday, and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be one fulltime physician per shift and two registered nurses, which Goodfellow said is similar to the staffing at the Kemptville Hospital. The physician team could also expand in the coming months. Jenny Read who handles communications for the hospital, said an innovative funding model allowed the centre to open in three years with without the use of public funds. “Opening a hospital would have taken 20 years and millions of dollars,” she said. “This way we are addressing the needs of the area with no cost to taxpayer.” The funding model essentially means that the doctors and pharmacy on site pay their own overhead and any surplus goes into a non-profit fund for the Rideau Valley Health Centre. The space is about 1,700 square metres and has the capacity to serve 200 patients a day according to Goodfellow, who added the average wait time shouldn’t be more than an hour.

West-end basketball associations look to merge programs Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com
EMC sports - A plan to combine competitive basketball programs in the city’s west end is a slam dunk for developing young players, said Dave DeAveiro, president of the Kanata Youth Basketball Association. The Kanata and Goulbourn basketball associations, which serve hundreds of youth between the ages of five and 18 in house league and competitive programs, agreed last summer to begin discussions on a possible merger of their competitive teams. A west-end basketball association could one day also include players from Osgoode, Rideau, Carleton Place, West Carleton and Arnprior, said DeAveiro. “Soccer’s gone that route,� said DeAveiro. “They’ve taken all the west-end clubs and merged them into one. “When you combine all the smaller associations and form just one large association, you have all the best kids playing together and they don’t have to leave their area to go and play (competitively).� Details of the proposed merger still have to be ironed out and nothing has been approved by the executives of either association. “Discussions continue towards looking at an Ottawa west organization including Kanata and Goulbourn and will continue on throughout
the coming year to ensure members’ expectations ‌ have been met,â€? said Paula Warnholtz, a member of the Kanata Youth Basketball Association executive. Discussions are still in the early stages between the presidents of both associations, who will bring a proposal for consideration by their associations’ executives at a later date. If the merger is approved, the new west-end basketball association – the name has yet to be decided – would start with a pilot-program next year, with up to four competitive teams in the younger age groups. “We’re hoping two years from now there’ll be just one association in the west end,â€? said DeAveiro. ELITE PROGRAM
DeAveiro said a merger is the next logical step in a process that started this year, with the Kanata basketball association agreeing to absorb the Ottawa Next Level, an elite-level program that develops some of the best players across the city. “It’s a vision of building basketball in the west end, providing our kids with quality coaching and the competition that they seek and desire,� said DeAveiro. “Our kids want to be exposed to and play against the best teams and those teams are Toronto, those teams are the U.S., those teams are Montreal.� The merger will help children in all levels of basketball,
from ages five to 18, including those in house league, said DeAveiro. DeAveiro held tryouts for the under under-19 Ottawa Next Level basketball team at Franco Ouest high school on Sept. 5. The players came from across the city and as far away as Brockville, all hoping for a chance to play on the elite-level team, a talented group that every year competes against some of the best teams in Ontario, Quebec and the United States. DeAveiro created the Ottawa Next Level program in 2006, when he was the head coach of the University of Ottawa GeeGees men’s basketball team, as a way to scout and develop young players capable of making the jump to university ball when they graduate from high school. “There’s so much talent out there right now,� he said. “Right now we’ve fallen short in terms of providing them with the programs, the coaches, the resources that these kids need to become very good basketball players and compete against the powerhouses, which is more (in) southern Ontario. “We believe there’s enough good basketball players in Ottawa, where our kids are all together and they’re not scattered playing for different teams, that can compete against teams in Toronto and beat them.�

Kanata absorbs elite basketball program Tough loss for midget Knights Continued from page 33
David Byck, president of the Goulbourn Basketball Association, said the proposed merger would provide more opportunities to develop players on house league, competitive and elite teams. “It just increases the gene pool,” said Byck. “The better the players, the better the programs – that has a ripple effect; we can provide more resources for our house-league coaches.” House league and competitive league coaches would have the opportunity to learn from Ottawa Next Level coaches, as well as from guest speakers from the Ontario Basketball Association and special coaching clinics. Byck said this will have a “trickle-down effect” on all levels of basketball. Goulbourn and Kanata’s house league teams would still run under the name of the Goulbourn Hornets and the Kanata Cavaliers, he added. “Goulbourn has a very strong reputation around the province and we don’t want to lose that,” said Byck. “That’s a big concern of ours.”
Creating an elite-level program in the west end would keep Kanata and Stittsville’s players in the community, said Byck. In the past, Goulbourn’s best basketball players travelled as far as Gloucester to play on competitive teams. “That’s tough on the families; that’s tough on the parents,” said Byck. The proposed merger wouldn’t result in any unusual fee increases, said Byck. Kanata and Goulbourn’s basketball associations have already been working together to provide a broader house league program for children. “We’re already working with Kanata,” said Byck. “We’re already doing a referee development program with Kanata. We’ve done coaching clinics with them. This isn’t the first time we’ve been connecting with Kanata in a constructive way.” DeAveiro said he hopes the west Ottawa basketball association will eventually expand to include teams and players from Carleton Place, Arnprior and West Carleton. “Down the road we’re

Chris McComber, 17, a student at John McCrae Secondary School in Barrhaven, has been a member of the Ottawa Next Level program since he was 15 years old. looking at making it bigger in bringing Goulbourn into the situation and building basketball specifically in the west end,” he said. The Ottawa Next Level teams will still make use of gymnasiums at Immaculata, Ridgemont and other Ottawa high schools. DEVELOPMENT
Chris McComber, 17, a student at John McCrae Secondary School in Barrhaven, has been a member of the Ottawa Next Level program since he was 15 years old. Last summer, the six-footseven, 225-pound shooting guard played for Canada’s national team at the international basketball federation’s U-17 world championship held in Lithuania from June 29 to July 8. “That was a phenomenal experience,” said McComber. “It’s a lot more physical when you’re playing international basketball. The refs let you get away with things. “Everything you do, you have to do 100 per cent or
someone’s going to take advantage of you,” he added. “It’s crazy.” The Ottawa Next Level program taught McComber to play shooting guard. “Dave (DeAveiro) really helped with my guard’s skills, so now I’m able to play on the perimeter, work around with that, which is a skill I really need to play at the next level.” It’s important to think outside the box, said DeAveiro. “Typically when you have a big kid, where does everyone put them? They put them at the post. They put them down low,” he said. “We’re changing some of that. We’re putting our six-foot-eight, our six-footnine kids on the perimeter and trying to make them guards and face up players.” The idea is to follow the international model of developing tall players such as the Toronto Raptor’s forward Andrea Bargnani, said DeAveiro. “They’re seven feet and they can shoot threes and they can dribble the ball and be guards, so I think we need to go that way more and develop kids outside the box.”
EMC sports - It was a dark and stormy weekend for football at Robert Barr Football Field with two games cancelled as a result of the wet weather on Saturday, Sept. 8. The Kanata Knights Football Club hosted the Bel-Air Norseman and the Bel-Air Copeland Lions on Sept. 7 and 8, but the tyke and peewee games were cancelled on account of the weather. The midget Knights lost 4225 against the Bel-Air Norseman at Robert Barr on Friday, Sept. 7. The peewee Knights won their match against the Lions by a score of 19-12 on Sept. 8. The tyke Knights next play the Myers Orléans Bengals at Garneau field on Saturday, Sept. 15, starting at 11 a.m. The mosquito Knights are scheduled to play the Bengals at Garneau field the same day, with kickoff at 9 a.m. MIDGET
Under the Friday night lights on Sept. 7, the Knights midget team fought to the bitter end but ended with a disappointing loss to the Bel-Air Norseman with a final score of 42-35. The Knights offence was firing on all cylinders, led by quarterbacks Matt Duffy and Nick Krzaniak. Offensive linesmen Trevor Artelle, Joseph Borrello, Kris Blimkie, Connor MacKinnon, Kieran McGee, and Jake Schwenger worked together to protect their quarterbacks allowing them to throw for 177 yards combined. Wide receiver Jaegar Prot hauled in eight receptions and scored a 40-yard touchdown. Cassidy Malenfent also chipped in a 40-plus yard receiving touchdown. Jacob Legault was the leading rusher with seven carries for 69 yards. The Knights defence struggled against the Norseman’s running game, but posted some
game highlights of their own. Defensive end Taylor Jackson made a big play recovering a fumble and running it in for a touchdown. Sebastian Mordak had two solo tackles and 12 assists while teammate John Alarie had five solo tackles and five assists. Jordon Gorgichuk produced another strong game with an interception and three kickoff returns for 46 yards. Once again, Evan Yourth was amazing with his foot with six kickoffs for a total 234 yards plus five point-after kicks. The midget Knights will host the Orléans Bengals for their next home game at Barr field on Sept. 14, starting at 7:30 p.m. PEEWEE
Electricity was in the air Saturday, Sept. 8, as the peewee Knights took to their home field in a match-up against the Bel-Air Lions. Battling wind, rain and their opponents, the Knights defeated the Lions by a score of 19-12. Leading the attack for the Knights was Ashton Vanasse who completed all three of the team’s touchdowns. Offensive support throughout the match from Jacob Cuffley, Luke Morrison, Patrick Massia, Tyler Rehman, Antonio Albery, Liam MacInnis, Sandro Idone, Liam Quinton and Connor Spero kept the Knights momentum and energy going. The Knights defensive team of Stewart Melville, Michael Kraeker, Jordan Porter, Alex Polataiko, Dylan Lachance, Evan Wilson, Thomas Patridge, Dylan Walker, Charles Huynh, Dante Bourbonnais and Ryan Miskelly kept the Lions in their place to secure the victory. The Knights head into a heavy week of football with a home game at Robert Barr field in Kanata against the Myers’ Riders Wednesday, Sept. 12 and another match-up Saturday, Sept. 15 against North Gloucester Giants at Gil-O-Julien Field.

Sometimes you just have to get your hands dirty
Your Community Newspaper
Everyone knows the creative process can be rewarding and fulfilling for adults without being messy. But, let’s face it: sometime getting your hands dirty is half the fun. It’s not just for kids anymore. Whether you want your creativity to be mucky and yucky, or clean and pristine, there is bound to be something interesting near you listed in the City of Ottawa’s Recreation eGuide available at ottawa.ca/recreationguide. There is probably no better way to make a mess than through pottery. Artists at the Nepean Visual Arts Centre produce more than 50,000 pieces of art each year. This year, some of them can be yours. Think about Discovering Your Voice in Clay, Sculptural Handbuilding or maybe a Wheel and Hanbuilding Combo. For a splash of colour in your work area there are painting classes of various media offered across the city. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, you can work with oil, acrylic, watercolour or mixed media, explore abstract expression or classic portraiture. Does Canvas and Cocktails sound appealing? For something artistic and practical, learn to make a table, tray or mirror frame mosaic. Using stained glass tailored to suit the individual (beginner or improver), learn about techniques and materials and take home the completed project of your choice.
If you would like to eat your art, there are cooking classes available for young and old alike. Classes involving sushi, phyllo pastry and wine are on the menu, with cake decorating for dessert. Don’t worry, if you really want to keep your hands clean while being creative, there are several classes available across the city and in your neighbourhood that involve drawing, sketching, calligraphy and creative writing. The art of photography, which used to be messy, may have gone digital in recent years, but there are still plenty of opportunities to explore this medium in City classes. Get an introduction to the medium, sharpen your skills or simply learn how to Take Your Camera for a Walk. Fall Classes are starting now! Browse online at ottawa.ca/recreation to discover affordable fall and winter programs. Visit your favourite facility where knowledgeable and friendly staff will help you discover your next adventure.

EMC sports - Record numbers turned out for the thirdannual Kanata Race Day held last Sunday, Sept. 9. Organizers of the event were pleased with results that indicate approximately 450 people took part in the fiveand one-kilometre walk/run races, held to raise funds to offset the costs of additions requested for the new Richcraft Recreation Complex under construction in north Kanata. Organizers Craig Gauthier and Sarah Muldoon, a husband and wife team, started the event three years ago to raise awareness about the Kanata north recreation complex and to raise funds to pay for two additional lanes for the pool, a larger skateboard park, artificial turf and lighting for the soccer field, as well as a youth room. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said the total cost of the project is estimated at $43 million and the community has been tasked with raising $1.75 million for the project, which is expected to be completed next fall. While results of this year’s total will not be available until later this week organizers were aiming for $10,000, double last year’s amount of $5,000. The couple also said the annual event serves to deliver a message to families about healthy living and an active lifestyle. Parents of two young children, the couple stress the importance of setting a good example for children to follow. For this reason support for the community recreation complex has been important to the pair who volunteer their time to organize the event. Muldoon expressed gratitude to friends who have helped support the event. “It is a big event to run with only volunteers to rely on. We have grown it from 20 participants the first year to what it is today because of great friends and great support,” she said. Community members came together with many participating in their first run. West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry surprised organizers and his wife Maha when he signed the pair up to run the five-kilometre race. “There was a real sense of community,” Muldoon said, adding that the local business community also came out in support of the event in a big way this year. Participants received a Tshirt and grab-bag full of event sponsored business goodies, information and product discounts as well as coupons. A number of presentations

EMC sports - If you’d told Ottawa’s David Blair prior to the Paralympic Games that his Canadian crew would win their race on the final day of rowing, you can bet he’d have been on top of the world. And that’s precisely what played out in London, but the big surprise was that Canada’s LTA4+ mixed coxed four adaptive rowing team was racing in the B final for seventh to 12th place. Canada won the race in 3:31:17– close to one second ahead of France. But make no mistake – the Canadian team’s performance in London was a bitter disappointment on the heels of gold and silver medals at the 2010 and 2011 world championships,
although they did get to end their Paralympic experience on a positive note. “Obviously given our track record, we wanted to be in the A final,” Blair said on the dock at Eton Dorney. “But that wasn’t in the cards, so we all needed to reset and come here today focused with a new goal, and that’s what we did. “It was a good confident, relaxed feeling warming up. It feels good to come out in first in whatever race you’re in. That was nice.” A national team member for only two years and the youngest member of the Canadian crew, Blair’s teammates had warned him that the Paralympics would be unlike any other competition he’d previously participated in, and that turned out to be the case when
he made his Paralympic debut on Aug. 31. “My first race going down, I knew I would get a surge of energy just by knowing where I am, hearing everything that’s going on,” recounted Blair, whose team was over six seconds behind eventual gold medalist Great Britain in the heats to miss the lone automatic qualifying position in the final. “My focus was on being as technically clean as possible,” the Ottawa Rowing Club member added. “By the end of the race, I had so much energy still that I could give from absorbing everything that was coming from the crowd. It’s been pretty incredible.” The repechage round on Sept. 1 was when the big let down came for the Canadi-

ans. With two more places available in the final, Ukraine and China both beat Canada to the line in 3:23.53 and 3:25.03, compared to Canada’s 3:28.82. “It was disappointing, especially because we were in contact,” said the Merivale High School grad who now studies humanities at Carleton University. “If we had our best race, I think we could have qualified.” Blair said it wasn’t so much a case of the Canadians racing poorly, it was just that their competition enjoyed standout races. “The level stepped up,” added the rower who is visually-impaired and wears a blinder so that he’s not able to see at all. “If you look at our times, they’ve been pretty consistently around there. It was more that other crews from other countries upped the bar in a big way and we weren’t capable of responding.” Despite the disappointment, Blair sounded somewhat at peace with the result. The 20-year-old was already thinking about the future and taking another crack at the Paralympics come 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. “I spent every day trying to get ready for these Games,” he said. “About a week ago I realized I never want to stop improving. I’m never going to be at that point where I can say, ‘Yes, OK, this is the best I’m ever going to be.’ I came in here knowing that I’m going to give it my all and when I come back next time I’m going to be even faster. “I’ll definitely do it again.”

Pitted in the strongest heat of the T54 men’s 400 metres on Sept. 5 at Olympic Stadium in London, Curtis Thom of the Ottawa Lions was left on the outside looking in for the final of his favourite distance at the 2012 Paralympic Games.
Paralympics full of highs, lows for Ottawa Lions athletes EMC -sports -The London 2012 Paralympics provided a learning experience for a group of young Ottawa Lions who moved to the capital in the lead-up to the Games. There were a few appearances in event finals, but there were also plenty of letdowns for the first- or second-time Paralympians – Rachael Burrows, Curtis Thom, Leah Robinson, Brandon King and guide runner Andrew Heffernan. Each athlete is committed to coming back stronger at future Games. For the eldest of the group, 29-year-old Burrows, her Paralympic debut was all she could have asked for. The T34 wheelchair racer made it to the final in both the 100 and 200 metres, finishing eighth and sixth respectively. “I’m proud of myself to get finals in both my Paralympic events. That’s what I wanted,” said Burrows, who sported stylish red patches throughout her hair at the Games. “It’s been a wonderful experience. I’m very blessed to do it and I’m very thankful to Canada for allowing me to represent them. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” Thom started off his Paralympics with a bang, earning a surprise place in the T54 men’s 100 m final. He’d been ranked 12th in the event, earned the eighth and final qualification position through preliminaries, and wound up placing fifth in front of the crowd of 80,000. “Being in my first Paralympic final was phenomenal,” said the 26-year-old who participated in the 2004 Athens 4 x 400 m relay. “I was pretty happy with that.”
Thom later found himself in the fastest heat of the men’s T54 men’s 400 m. He placed fifth in his heat in a time of 48.57 seconds – fractions of a second short of advancing to the final on time, although he was quicker than three autoqualifiers from other heats and posted the sixth-fastest time overall. “It was a tough race,” Thom said. “I went out pretty hard. I just tied up at the end and I couldn’t stay with them.” His time wasn’t out of his recent performance range, although he had entered the race with the best time in the world this season at 47.20. “I think I was a lot more nervous,” Thom acknowledged. “I think I had a lot of pressure that I put on myself, knowing that I had the world-leading time. It was an interesting feeling, but it was a lot of pressure
for me.” Thom wrapped up his Games with the 4 x 400 m relay where the Canadian team missed the four-team final by
the slimmest margin behind Australia’s time from the other heat. See WANTED, page 46

This is Constable Ryan Strotmann’s last meeting as our Community Policing Officer after 4 years of dedicated service. So we’ll give him a great send-off and also welcome our new Community Police Officer, Constable Lori Fahey. A lot has happened since the last meeting in June, so there’s lots of news to share! All are welcome to attend and you will have an opportunity to share your concerns and suggestions.
SINK HOLES AND INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS I’ve just been at meetings of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities at which infrastructure needs for the next few decades was discussed. The Orleans sinkhole was used as an example of the need for ongoing infrastructure renewal. Even with ongoing inspections and the expenditure of hundreds of millions each year to renew Ottawa’s infrastructure, surprises can happen along with premature failures. City staff react very quickly if there is a failure and work as fast as possible to make repairs and I commend them for the work done in this case. INFORMATION ITEMS SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION WEEK is September 16 – 22nd. Go to www.infostw.org for details on events and suggestions about your transportation options. ASH TREES SAVED – thanks to Mario Poirier for successfully advocating staff to consider some mature ash trees on the south side of the Beaver Pond. Four more trees have been added to the injection program. FALL CLEANING THE CAPITAL September 15 is the last day to register your event to be eligible for prizes. YOUTH SUMMIT & PHOTO OPPORTUNITY The Mayor’s Youth Summit is on October 12 at City Hall and will feature guest speakers, a resource fair & opportunities for youth to share their vision for a more youth-friendly Ottawa. Registration & info on the photo opportunity is at ottawa.ca/ youth. R0011612914

* Do your homework. Companies often expect quick responses when they offer out-oftowners a position. Applicants likely won’t have enough time between receiving the offer and meeting their deadline to accept or deny the position to do all of the research that needs to be done. Before applying for positions within a given city, learn about the city, including the cost of housing, the reputation of the city’s school districts, and anything else that will ultimately have an impact on your decision to move or stay put. If possible, visit the city before beginning your job hunt. If you find the city fits your lifestyle, then begin your pursuit of a career.

In an effort to leave the unemployment line behind them, many men and women have decided they would relocate for jobs if the opportunities presented themselves. According to the Atlas Van Lines 2012 Corporate Relocation Survey, 52 percent of all relocations in 2011 were new hires. That’s not only reflective of people’s willingness to move for new opportunities, but also companies’ willingness to help new hires make smooth transitions. Whereas many companies were forced to reduce or eliminate their relocation budgets during the depths of the recession, more and more of them now have more money to help candidates relocate.

* Don’t overlook temporary housing. Many firms provide temporary housing for new hires or existing employees who relocate. This option should not be overlooked. Firms expect quick answers when asking an existing employee or a new hire to relocate. In fact, the Atlas survey found that 72 percent of firms give an employee two weeks or less to accept an offer to relocate. So you likely won’t have enough time to find your next place to call home. In such instances, consider temporary housing, ideally offered by the company. If the company does not provide temporary housing, then stay with a friend or family member or contact realtors and explain your situation. A real estate agent should be able to help you find temporary housing and can then help you once the relocation is complete and you’re ready to find a permanent residence. * Know the repayment provisions. While many people consider their decision to relocate a success, others find their new job and city are falling short of expectations. That can be a sticky situation if your new company helped pay for your relocation. Before accepting the job offer and relocating, ask to read the relocation policy and make note of its repayment provisions. Some firms that help relocate new hires or existing employees have the right to ask for those costs back if the employee leaves the company within a given time frame. Know these provisions before you decide to relocate
REAL ESTATE Factors that might hurt a home’s value
Your Community Newspaper
stand out, but likely for all the wrong reasons. It will likely appear dated and out of place, which is something buyers might not want. In addition, if the home is considerably larger or smaller than the surrounding homes, then this could hurt its value. *Non-conformity: In many ways, conformity is not considered an admirable trait. But when selling a home, conformity could make the difference between a home selling quickly
or remaining on the market for months if not years. When shopping for a home, buyers often shop in certain neighborhoods and towns and might see many different homes within a given ZIP code. Homeowners with homes that don’t conform to others in the area might find it difficult to sell their homes. For instance, homeowners trying to sell a two bedroom home in a neighborhood filled with three bedroom homes might notice their home’s value is not as high

as that of surrounding homes, regardless of the neighborhood or how similar the home’s exterior is to surrounding homes. * Age: Older homes might have character and a sense of nostalgia, but appraisers take age into consideration when determining a home’s value. And buyers tend to lean toward
newer homes for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the feeling that newer homes have far more modern amenities than older homes. When it comes to a home’s value, there are a host of things that could ultimately increase or decrease that value in the eyes of prospective buyers. My specialty is Sold signs!

home within that neighborhood less attractive to prospective buyers. * Appearance: A home’s appearance is another obvious variable that might affect its resale value. Homeowners might want their home to reflect their own individuality, but that’s not going to help when the time comes to sell the home. If the exterior paint is out of the ordinary, then it might be wise to choose a more traditional or conservative color before erecting the “For Sale” sign out front. The same goes for a home’s interior. If the interior design is especially unique, a more traditional interior decor might help the home sell faster. * Size and style: Another thing to consider when selling a home is its size and style. A home that stands out on the block might be an attentiongrabber, but that’s not always attractive to prospective buyers. For instance, a colonial sitting in the middle of a street filled with contemporary homes will

Nowadays, homeowners looking to sell their homes know it’s not as easy to do so as it might have been a few years ago. A struggling economy has made it difficult for many homeowners to sell their homes for a price they’re comfortable with. But the sagging economy is not the only thing can make it difficult to sell a home. In fact, a host of other things, some obvious but some not so obvious, can hurt a home’s value as well. * Location: A home’s location is arguably its best or worst selling point. A home in a great location won’t be as difficult to sell as a home in a bad neighborhood. But location goes beyond a neighborhood’s reputation, especially in recent years. Homeowners who live in a neighborhood or development with many foreclosures might find those foreclosed properties are hurting their own home’s value. Lots of foreclosures could negatively affect a neighborhood’s reputation, which might make a

REAL ESTATE Top tips for the best first impression
R0031582598
(MS) -- It’s called “curb appeal,” that good impression people get of your home when they pull up in a car, or when walking by. Real estate agents can be as pleased with exterior curb appeal as they are with a well-maintained house on the inside. When it comes to residential property value, this book is indeed judged by its cover. Exterior trouble areas include peeling paint; rotting wood on window frames; buckled roof shingles; overgrown shrubs; ignored lawns; and weeds growing through interlock paths, steps and the driveway. “The lawns and landscaping that frame our home are as important as the quality inside,” says Reinie Drygala, lawncare products manager for Clear Choice, a leading name in innovative garden products. “And the good news is: when it comes to first impressions just a few little tips and tricks can make a big difference quickly. “If you’re frustrated about overgrown weeds, for example, the newest herbicide technology is tackling that,” Drygala continued. “Now there are alternatives to traditional her-

The formulation for our Clear Choice selective herbicide, for example, contains up to 85 percent less active ingredients as compared to other products using the same ingredients. As importantly, microtechnology built into the formulation creates much smaller droplets that more efficiently deliver the herbicide to the plant.

curb appeal: * Scrape and spot-paint problem areas. This might be a temporary fix, but even a touch up is better than peeling paint. * Add colour by planting some annuals in the front yard flowerbeds. * Replace or paint rusty fixtures like the mailbox, railings, house number, and more. * Tackle pesky weeds on interlock paths and driveway. Use hand sprays for targeted jobs, or larger jugs for a big surface area.

‘I wanted to go out there and show the world what I’ve got’ Continued from page 41
Ian Ewing
Pitted in the strongest heat of the T54 men’s 400 m on Wednesday, Sept. 5 at Olympic Stadium in London, Curtis Thom of the Ottawa Lions was left on the outside looking in for the final of his favourite distance at the 2012 Paralympic Games.
“It’s disappointing,” Thom said. “There are a lot of questions that go through your head when it’s such a close time. I kind of wondered should I have tried to push a little harder, could I have gone a little bit faster, could I have had a better start?” Robinson was also left to wonder what could have been had she earned a place in the T37 women’s 400 m for athletes with cerebral palsy. Had her race been only 300 m long, the 18-year-old would have been in excellent shape. But that’s why the 400 m is regarded by many as the toughest race on the track, since it requires a sprint for an entire lap. Robinson laboured heavily down the home stretch in her heat, finishing with a time of 1:16.94 – well below her personal best of 1:10.81, which would have got her into the final. “I definitely realized about 275 metres in that it was a little too quick,” Robinson said after taking a few minutes to compose herself under the stands by the track exit. “I don’t know what it was, but I didn’t quite listen to that conscience in the back of my mind
saying, ‘Too fast, too fast.’ “I just kind of gave out, and these girls happened to be that much stronger than me on this given day.” Robinson noted that she also went out too hard at last year’s world championships, but managed to get through to the final nonetheless. She wound up placing fifth at the worlds, so missing out on the top-eight was a major letdown for the athlete who is coached by Hugh Conlin, a national team coach with Lions roots.
This is a big heartbreak. I’ve given 110 per cent all year. Leah Robinson Parathlete
“I have no one to blame but myself,” Robinson added. “This is a big heartbreak. I’ve given 110 per cent all year. I moved cities. I have a phenomenal coach, who I want to thank. He’s been there with me through ups and downs, and he’s going to be there with me today, I’m sure, through this awful heartbreak.” King and Heffernan also missed out on a reaching final, in the four-team 4 x 100

m relay. But it was mostly a positive feeling as they achieved a new personal-best performance, bettering their previous top time as a team by around half a second. King, 21, didn’t let the buildup intimidate him in his Paralympic debut, choosing to keep a low profile the first few days of the Games and just relaxing in the Athletes Village to focus on his races. “My nerves were more just excitement. I wanted to go out there and show the world what I’ve got,” King reflected. “We ran hard. And it’s exciting to know we can still get faster.” The pair also competed in the individual 200 m, but did not advance past their first heat. Heffernan loved soaking up every moment of his first Paralympic experience. “It’s a really global community village,” highlighted the 23-year-old. “It’s amazing. Especially for the paras, there’s so many people with different abilities, different races, cultures, everything. Everybody’s so together in there. It’s an unbelievable feeling. That’s what I’ve taken away more than anything from the Games. It’s a great thing for the world.” R0011612361/0913

Kanata Lakes illustrator publishes graphic novel blair.edwards@metroland.com
news@yourkanata.com
Rioux will share some advice about breaking into the publishing business during the 12th-annual Kids’ Lit Gala, scheduled to be held in the Chamber Room of Ben Franklin Place in Nepean on Oct. 16, starting at 7 p.m. She will be one of 10 artists and authors appearing at the children’s literature gala. Rioux said her first tip for new artists is to learn from other illustrators and authors. “Don’t try to re-invent the wheel,” she said. “There’s a lot of great authors out there. “Take some paneling here and there, glean from what’s already been done.” Artists can also take advantage of the tools available on the web, she added. “With the Internet you can get exposure for your own work,” she said. “Definitely put your stuff out there so you can get feedback and get better.” Artists should learn their trade by drawing in black and white, she said. “I would advise people to start black and white,” she said. “It teaches you what’s important visually and then you can move on to colour.” Much of Rioux’s art is produced on her computer.
BLAIR EDWARDS/METROLAND
Jo Rioux has recently published her first graphic novel that she both wrote and illustrated. The Kanata Lakes woman is already sifting through several dozen ideas for her next book. “Invest in a good tablet, draw on it with a stylus or plastic pen – it is so much easier to draw.” Rioux still does much of her work on paper, drawing her panels using a blue colerase pencil. She later scans the drawings onto her computer, where she adds colour, text and special effects, such as shading, using Photoshop. “I love my undo button,” said Rioux with a laugh. The artist said she’s slowly moving to actually sketching on her computer using a stylus pen. “Once I get good at that it will really speed things up,”
she said. “If you can do it all on the computer I would suggest people start that way, because it’s a huge time saver.” There’s never been a more affordable time for artists to create graphic novels, said Rioux. “It’s almost all digital now,” she said. “You can almost never put a pen to paper and still do it.” With her first solely-created graphic novel under her belt, Rioux is ready for her next big project. “I have about 20 ideas for future projects and now I have to choose which ones to pursue first.”

KIDS LIT GALA
R0011609187_0913
EMC entertainment - Applying for a job as an illustrator can be a tough sell, said Jo Rioux. Illustrators fresh out of art school ritually pepper magazine and book publishers with postcards decorated with their art, hoping to catch someone’s eye. Rioux spent several years developing her craft and waiting to get noticed before she got her first big break. After she graduated from the art program at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ont., Rioux sent out hundreds of postcards, with no reply. “It’s one of those things,” said the 30-year-old Kanata Lakes woman. “It can really get lost in the shuffle.” The trick is meeting someone in person, said Rioux, who presently holds a fulltime job designing graphics and animations for Smarter Apps, located in downtown Ottawa. Rioux, who recently published The Golden Twine, a graphic novel for young adults, landed her first publishing deal after cornering the editor-in-chief of Kids Can Press during a book signing at Ottawa’s Museum of Nature in 2007. At the time, Rioux was working at a boutique in the museum. The fledgling then-25-yearold artist introduced herself to the editor and handed her a business card along with samples of her work. A few days later, Rioux received a contract offer from Kids Can Press, asking her to illustrate a children’s comic book series called Sam and Friends Mysteries. “I was pretty ecstatic because in Ottawa there’s no book publishing business that will employ illustrators like me,” she said. In 2007, the publishing company was just starting out its graphic novel program. “I checked out her portfolio and I just loved it,” said Karen Li, editor of Kids Can Press. “What I was looking for was something that would appeal to kids who love manga,” she said. “I knew she could speak the language of manga.” Rioux produced four books over the next three years, publishing the last of the series in 2010. Last month, Rioux published her first graphic novel that she wrote and illustrated. The Golden Twine, the first book of the Cat’s Cradle series, is set in a fantasy world and is about a little girl, abandoned at birth, who teams up with a giant dog and an imp to find her family. The book sells for $9.99
in paperback and $17.99 in hardcover and is available at Chapters, Indigo, Coles or online at www.amazon.ca. So far, 2,700 copies have been sold. Rioux’s long road to becoming a paid illustrator started when she was a child growing up in Gloucester. The young artist loved to read French-language comic books, devouring titles such as Spirou et Fantasio and later, when she learned to speak English, comics illustrated using the Japanese manga style of art. “I was definitely influenced by it,” she said. “Anyone who gets my book (can) see that.” Later, she attended De La Salle French public school in downtown Ottawa, where she studied in a special arts program that included one hour of visual arts everyday.

Private Lives explores controversial topics Carolyn Johnstone Kanata Theatre
EMC entertainment Kanata Theatre is taking a step back in time once again to fan a new breath of sparkling life into Noel Coward’s comedy, Private Lives. Set in Europe around about 1930, Private Lives takes us back to that sepiatoned era where the social norms were clear and simple and understood by all.
It was a time when boundaries were clear and unbreakable; when society’s expectations were often the deciding factors in even the most personal decisions; and when one’s ability to behave exquisitely for others was far more valued than what one might dare to think or feel beneath the surface. The cast has immersed themselves in this moment of a different era, “putting it on, and wearing it,” to get to

the heart of Coward’s intent. And while the story takes you under its spell, some interesting differences between then and now come through. For example, the topic of divorce is central, and while once the stuff of shame and societal downfall, today’s audience has no reason to gasp at the idea. Instead, our comfort zones will be far more shocked by all the cigarette smoking. In fact, our present day view of smoking had the producers combing the script to find ways to remove those darned cigarettes, but they’re actually referenced in the lines so often that it wasn’t possible. Not to worry, though – they’ll look like real cigarettes, and they’ll seem like real cigarettes, and they’ll even act like real cigarettes, but they’re not real cigarettes. Really. The story spins out with matchless charm, wit, repartee, and laugh-out-loud humour that, through the chemistry, energy, and conviction of the incredible cast changes that sepia hue of 80 years ago to a spectrum of light and colour that will keep you watching, listening, and laughing until long after the curtain falls. Private Lives runs Tuesdays through Saturdays at the Ron Maslin Playhouse, on Terry Fox Drive, Sept. 18 to 22 and Sept. 25 to 29.

Trinity Presbyterian Church’s music program is looking forward to ringing in a new season.
Trinity looking for bell ringers Trinity Presbyterian Church
EMC news - Trinity Presbyterian Church’s “minister of music” said he is looking forward to a new season as director of the Trinity Hilltop Ringers, the Youth Bells and Kids Handchimes. David Chin has recently returned from a workshop in Syracuse, N.Y., and said he eagerly anticipates putting some of the lessons he learned into practice. Eye-catching circular motions will be a large part of the groups’ focus this season, said Chin, as these help to create a flowing visual counterpart for the flowing melodies and arpeggios coming from the bells. The symmetry and synchronicity of motion will be another significant focus, as these heighten the impact of the rhythm as well as the visual sense of artistic teamwork. Joining a bell choir almost always brings an immediate sense of gratification, said

Chin. Although it may not be for everyone, he added, ringing bells gives people the chance to be part of a heavenly sound right away. The clear, bright tones coming from all around are quickly enabled, as it is not possible to ring out of tune, as someone might sing out of tune, he said. When carefully practiced, the arm motions are quite natural and satisfying. Learning the art of exchanging bells (weaving), so that one player may ring three or four different bells, can be a truly exciting experience, said Chin. Whether you’re an experienced ringer looking for a choir, an aspiring musician looking for an exciting group with which to make music, or someone who has never rung bells or been in a musical ensemble before, Chin said he would be delighted to talk with those interested about how they might participate in the music program at Trinity Presbyterian Church.

The Kids Handchimes is a group composed of children aged six to 12 who, for the most part, already read music. The Youth Bells is a group of teenagers who also have experience reading music. In either of these groups, people new to bells or to reading music may join with a little extra help. The Trinity Hilltop Ringers is an adult group started seven years ago, which has developed into an intermediate choir. Here also, the music program is always looking for new people to be a part of the group. To join the Hilltop Ringers, experience is essential, but sometimes talented musicians can join a group of this level without prior bell experience, as long as they receive a little extra training on the side, said Chin. The Kids Handchimes program will start on Sept. 30, from 3 to 3:45 p.m. The Youth Bells program will start on the same day from 4 to 4:45 p.m. Both programs run at the same time on Saturday afternoons. The Hilltop Ringers program runs every Monday from 7 to 8:45 p.m. Trinity Presbyterian Church is located at 110 McCurdy Dr. in Katimavik.

Art ideas to help Rideau Streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Creating a conversation between the two ends of Rideau Street was a main theme of the public art pieces proposed for the downtown thoroughfare. As part of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s One Per Cent for Art program, the city will spend approximately $135,000 to install outdoor artworks along Rideau after it is reconstructed from Dalhousie Street to the Cummings Bridge over this year and next. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he is a supporter of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public art program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It adds some cultural, visual pieces to the street,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always complain that there is too much concrete and streets are too heavy on cement,â&#x20AC;? Fleury said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the addition of tree planters and other (things), youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to really â&#x20AC;Ś beautify the street.â&#x20AC;? The city asked artists to submit proposals for art that could unify the street, from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;downtown Rideau,â&#x20AC;? considered the urban theatre, fashion and arts district, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;uptown Rideau,â&#x20AC;? the eastern portions of residential Lowertown and Sandy Hill and where the street meets the Rideau River. Four finalists, who each received a honourarium of $2,500, showed off their designs during an open house at the Rideau Street library branch on Sept. 5. MARK THOMPSON
Salem, Ont., glass artist Mark Thompson said he wanted to reflect the modernization of Rideau Street with four colourful glass beacons. The beacons themselves would be comprised of an interwoven grid of coloured glass that creates a shifting pattern as people pass by. Each beacon would be inside a 1.1-metre glass cube atop a platform, mimicking information kiosks. At night, the cubes would be lit from inside by blue-ish LED lighting, similar to the style of bright white streetlights that will be installed along Rideau Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would give a more contemporary feel to the whole thing,â&#x20AC;? said Thompson, who grew up in Alta Vista.
a chair speaking into a megaphone that emits carrier pigeons would be situated in the downtown section, while a male listener would receive the message in uptown Rideau. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is highlighting the need for communication between those two areas in our society,â&#x20AC;? said Williams, a Centretown resident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It creates a story, a kind of narrative as well,â&#x20AC;? said Robertson, who lives in Hintonburg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that someone can follow along the street â&#x20AC;Ś as they see one figure, then see the birds and where they are going and the other figure, and create a story between them,â&#x20AC;? Williams added. DAVID WATSON
Manotick resident David Watson said his lifelong affinity for trees and their unique situation in urban environments was the inspiration for his proposal. Watson designed three rectangular columns, each about 2.5- to three-metres tall and cast in bronze. The individually designed columns would have unique markings and a square base that would reflect the grate and interlock pavement settings that are often used to contain street trees. The installation is a balance between â&#x20AC;&#x153;reason and spirit,â&#x20AC;? Watson said; â&#x20AC;&#x153;reasonâ&#x20AC;? representing the rigid setting that contains the trees in a harsh urban environment, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;spiritâ&#x20AC;? being the life force of trees and nature that people
connect with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the city, everything is a concrete jungle,â&#x20AC;? Watson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m blown away by the symbolism (of street trees). It could be positive. It could be negative.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the element of irony comes in, Watson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the irony of a freespirited tree being reined in by the reason of the city,â&#x20AC;? he said. LYNDA CRONIN
Stittsville resident Lynda Cronin wants to use the international nautical symbols to express a message of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rideauâ&#x20AC;? from one end of the street to the other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all speak to each other,â&#x20AC;? Cronin said. The smaller sculpture at Cummings Bridge simply says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oâ&#x20AC;? on a single cube using the equivalent symbol from the international code. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rideauâ&#x20AC;? would be spelled out at the other end of the street at Cumberland Street in a stack of six 75-centimetre cubes to create a 5.5-metre tall sculpture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are talking to each other, like vessels do at sea, and like a person would do going down Rideau Street, (saying) â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey there, I am over here,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Cronin said. Comments gathered at the open house were submitted to the public art selection panel to help inform the panelistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decision. The winner of the competition will be revealed within the next two weeks. R0011616556

Agricultural fairs holding steady in rural Ottawa Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
EMC news - We may live in an increasingly urban world, but the rural fair isn’t going anywhere – at least not in Ottawa. Indeed, the educational opportunities at agricultural fairs are even more important than ever, according to Metcalfe Fair spokesperson Cheryl Cooper. She said that as more kids grow up in the city, rural agricultural fairs play an important role in showing the next generation where their food comes from. “Fifty or 75 years ago most people came from a farm. Now we need to actively teach that (farm knowledge),” she said. “Not everybody has the opportunity...to grow vegetables or to see a giant pumpkin.” The Metcalfe Fair offers an annual ‘Barn Door Exhibit’ that welcomes schoolchildren to see and touch the produce that ends up on their dinner tables. Livestock farmers bring their cows, sheep, pigs, rabbits and chickens and other producers showcase their grains, wool and other items that most kids would rarely see. And it’s not just rural families coming to the fair. Cooper said that as the idea of eating locally takes hold, more and more urban families are bringing their kids to the weekly farmers’ market and to
the annual fair to see first hand what farmers do. “Certainly they’re bringing their families and they want their children to learn where their food is coming from. It’s
as high as they’ve ever been, if not higher. She said part of the fair’s strength comes from its adaptability. The Metcalfe Fair will celebrate 156 years this Sep-
Fifty or 75 years ago most people came from a farm. Now...not everybody has the opportunity...to grow vegetables or to see a giant pumpkin. CHERYL COOPER METCALFE FAIR
not just for the rides and the midway,” she said. The city’s environmental movement is leading this charge to embrace local produce. Savour Ottawa, for example, is a collaboration of area farmers that provides a resource for consumers looking to buy local, sustainable food. And the theme for Ecology Ottawa’s 2012 Eco Gala in October is ‘Celebrate Local Harvests’ and will include a four-course meal sourced from local producers. Even in Manotick, a new farmers’ market popped up this summer to promote local produce. In Ottawa’s rural areas, involvement in the 4-H clubs that give kids hands-on agricultural experiences have remained steady. Cooper said the Metcalfe area’s participation rates, particularly in the dairy sector, are
tember – an anniversary that predates both the City of Ottawa and the formation of Canada. While it has stuck to its rural roots with horse, cattle and sheep shows every day, a fiddle and step-dance competition and popular competitions for best pie, biggest pumpkin and best quilt (among many other categories), it has also embraced what modern audiences want, said Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson. “I find the executives are very progressive minded, they’re always looking to the future. New attractions, they’re always looking for new ideas,” he said. The fair has added a popular demolition derby that draws crowds on the fair’s opening night, and over the years has added attractions like a fashion show, tractor pulls and lawn-
mower races. This year it will add a classic car show and a truck pull, and has adopted the marketing motto, ‘Make it your fair.’ The Arnprior Fair, which took place Aug. 9 to 12, also features a demolition derby and truck and tractor pulls alongside the traditional livestock and exhibit halls. The Navan Fair, which ran the same weekend, added a ladies’ minivan class to their demolition derby this year. The Richmond Fair, which takes place Sept. 13 to 16, even has a BMX bike show in their lineup, as well as a youth talent show. Cooper said this flexibility attracts new audiences and maintains interest with return-
ing patrons. However some fairs have a different strategy. Carp Fair general manager Joyce Trafford said the west end agricultural fair has opted not to add modern attractions like a demolition derby or tractor pull, although it does have a midway and evening entertainment. She said maintaining the focus on the fair’s rural traditions is more important than ever. “The exhibitors of livestock are getting less and less, but there’s more and more people who need to know where their food is coming from. So we’re educating people that way,” she said. She said the fair’s biggest challenge is the encroachment of subdivisions and develop-
ment. “At one time we were sitting pretty in the town of Carp,” she said. “There are subdivisions around every agricultural ground now. So we, the organizers of agricultural fairs, are growing (but) we have to work within our boundaries of being landlocked.” The Carp Fair, for the time being, has solved this problem by limiting on-site parking and shuttling visitors to the fair from off-site parking instead. Cooper said no matter the challenges, area fairs are still going strong – and Metcalfe’s especially. “As other agricultural events have seen their end, we took on the regional shows ... and that gives us some added strength.”

Hailey Smygwaty takes a seat in a prize-winning pumpkin at last year’s Metcalfe Fair. Ottawa’s rural fairs provide urban visitors an opportunity to see and do things they otherwise might never experience in the city. Metcalfe Fair spokesperson Cheryl Cooper said that as more children grow up in apartment buildings and high-density areas, it’s important to expose them to rural and agricultural traditions.

A recent investment by a family owned company is making business news in Eastern Ontario. NOCO Canada, a family owned and locally operated company has been serving Canada’s energy needs for decades. The company is leveraging their rich heritage in the business with an expansion of their fuel and lubricant operations into the Trenton and Ottawa areas. As a proud Esso and Mobil branded reseller, NOCO supplies heating oil, gasoline, diesel, and lubricants to serve residential, farm, commercial, and industrial customers. “With almost eighty years of experience in the energy business, we are honoured to have the opportunity to serve the hard working consumers of this region,” noted Mark Yeatman, General Manager of NOCO Fuels Canada, a wholly owned subsidiary of NOCO Canada. With this expansion, NOCO has established more local offices to efficiently and safely deliver high-quality products at competitive prices. With office locations in Toronto, Trenton, Ottawa and Pembroke, NOCO simplifies access for their customers by allowing them to get all of their products from one place. One major change customers will see is the elimination of a national call center. By establishing local offices and working with local personnel, NOCO is keeping business local and investing in communities. Other improved operations include online ordering and automatic payments, with online billpay coming soon. NOCO’s customers can expect the prompt, courteous, and dependable service they deserve. As the second largest Mobil distributor in North America, NOCO’s expansion has created a stronger product mix to more completely serve their customers. The company provides a full line of Mobil lubricants for automotive, fleet, industrial, metalworking, and specialty needs. NOCO also offers a used oil recycling program in some areas to make sure that businesses never need to worry about the proper collection, transportation, and processing of the waste they generate. “We believe the addition of the new products and new geography allows NOCO to address unmet consumer needs in the territory. Along with our key product brands, Mobil and Esso, we offer excellent service and local personnel. Our distribution model is strong and this new venture will provide strong value to the consumers throughout the region,” said James D. Newman, President of NOCO Canada.

As the city looks at how to move people around downtown after the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underground light-rail tunnel is built and operational in 2018, managing the levels of pedestrians and cyclists in the core and ensuring there is enough space for them is a priority, said Nelson Edwards, the lead
planner on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Downtown Moves project. On Sept. 5, Edwards told the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation committee that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll deliver an interim report in November. But he gave a taste of some of the ideas the Downtown Moves working group has been tossing around.

As the city looks at how to move people around downtown after the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underground light-rail tunnel is built and operational in 2018, managing the levels of pedestrians and cyclists in the core and ensuring there is enough space for them is a priority. Edwards said, so widening the sidewalks there would provide even more incentive for people to use that route if they are walking to get somewhere. Albert Street, which is currently bogged down by Transitway buses, could provide good opportunities to replaces buses with bicycles and pedestrians instead of buses and cars, Edward said. The final report will come in March of 2013 and include
ideas to capitalize on the changes LRT will bring to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core, including urban design solutions that can be used to co-ordinate streetscape proposals and road design after LRT is built. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been made clear to us thatâ&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the quality of the urban environment that will influence choices of how people get around downtown,â&#x20AC;? Edwards told the planning committee.

Program arms families with tools to protect seniors from scams Home Instead Senior Care
EMC news - Local senior care experts are urging Ottawa families to be alert for scammers who may be targeting their senior loved ones with a variety of schemes that could jeopardize not only their life savings but their independence. As a result, the Home Instead Senior Care office has launched a public information campaign to educate families
and seniors about how to protect themselves. The Protect Seniors from Fraud program â&#x20AC;&#x201C; developed with the expertise and assistance of North American security experts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; provides family caregivers with important tools at ProtectSeniorsFromFraud. com. Included is a criminal target scale which can help family caregivers assess how likely their senior is to be the potential target of a scam. A Senior Fraud
Protection Kit also is available from the local franchise office. According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, isolation and social changes in a seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life can often lead to â&#x20AC;&#x153;a heightened sense of vulnerabilityâ&#x20AC;?. The demographics of an aging population and the sophistication of scammers can add up to big losses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both financially and emotionally â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for older adults.
What makes con artists difficult to capture is the lack of reporting of this type of crime, experts note. According to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre seniors are particularly susceptible to fraud schemes because their generation tends to be more trusting and less likely to end conversations. Retired crime prevention officer, Sgt. Bob Paterson, does extensive public education for
Canadian seniors and advises them on how to avoid scams in their homes, online and over the phone. In the event of fraud, he says seniors are often reluctant to come forward and report the crime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are simple and inexpensive ways for families and their senior loved ones to protect themselves,â&#x20AC;? he said. According to Statistics Canada, about seven in 10 crimes against older Canadians are
never reported to police because victims did not believe the incident was important enough to seek help or because they dealt with the issue personally. In Canada, two of every five victims of telemarketing fraud are over the age of 60, and of these, 67 per cent are women. To obtain a free Senior Fraud Protection Kit, contact the Home Instead Senior Care office serving Ottawa at 613599-6906.

Aries, you will bring creativity and originality to a project at work this week. Working with people comes easy to you, so put your ingenuity to good use. Taurus, you are entering a creative phase and others will admire and appreciate your work. But don’t allow the extra attention to go to your head. Be humble at every turn. There are plenty of opportunities for communicating your ideas this week, Gemini. Expect quite a few meetings and other social occasions where you can discuss things with others. Cancer, you have a basic idea of how you want to handle your finances, but you are open to suggestions, too. Consult with a professional if you are considering making major changes. Your ability to supervise and organize people makes you unique, Leo. This role will become central to your lifestyle for the next few days as you tackle new responsibilities at work.
Capricorn, your drive for independence is very obvious to others this week. However, your determination could also put you in an unpredictable mood. This is a good time to take a deep breath and lighten up your load and your feelings, Aquarius. Tell some jokes or go out for a social occasion. You’ll be thankful you did. People often sense that you can have your head on straight, Pisces. So don’t be surprised when you are asked for advice.
