News - Michael Palin may be a comedy icon for people over 40 or 50, but he’s a virtual unknown among today’s teens, unless they have a thirst for travel documentaries.

The former Python dropped in on Grade 7 geography students at LongďŹ elds-Davidson Heights Secondary School on June 26, where the kids had only a vague idea about the day’s keynote speaker.

As they awaited his arrival, one student said they know Palin “travels a lot� and another said he’s “meant to be funny.�

SILLY WALK

It shouldn’t be a surprise, given his knack for entertaining, that Palin connected with the kids. All it took was a slide show of the places he’s been and stories about eating maggots and camel liver and vomiting in the desert. The silly walk conďŹ rmed his comedy chops with the young crowd.

Palin said the most dangerous things he’s dealt with while travelling are “humans, not animals,” although he was once scratched by a puma.

Palin paced across a giant map unrolled across the floor of a gymnasium as he answered questions.

The weirdest place he’s visited: a Tunisian community where people live in caves. He described breaking a rib while whitewater rafting on the Zambezi River in Africa.

He admitted to eating maggots as well as some camel liver that didn’t agree with him and quickly came back up; maybe not a ringing endorsement of world travel but an adventure nonetheless.

GOLD MEDAL

Palin’s stop in Ottawa came a day before he was to receive the Royal Canadian Geographic Society’s gold medal for his contribution to geographical literacy. Certainly his travel shows have been seen by millions and have probably inspired many of those viewers to see more of this planet.

Palin said his global travels have delivered a dose of humility.

“People know a lot more than I do,” he said. “I’ve been to some of the poorest parts of the world, and seeing how people live and raise their children; it’s quite inspiring.

“The most hospitable people are very often the poorest people.”

Palin said he dreamed of being an explorer as a child and was lucky to receive an offer from the BBC to host Around the World in 80 Days back in the 1980s. The series’ popularity prompted further trips and shows.

He encouraged the students to see the world too.

“Go out there,” Palin said. “Travel the world.

Understand it.”

His stop in Barrhaven came about because he asked to meet children during his Canadian visit and the geographic society’s communications manager lives next door to LDHSS teacher Larisa Deme. Deme said the school’s principal jumped at the chance to have Palin speak to students.

Nepean-Barrhaven News EMC - Thursday, July 4, 2013

News - Michael Palin is on the road again.

That may not be news in itself because he has been globetrotting for the past 33 years, creating some of the most memorable travel books and TV programs in history.

On June 27, the Royal Canadian Geographical Society presented him with their gold medal for “achievements in geography” and, on June 30, his latest travel series, Brazil, debuted on TVO. And while that’s been an important part of his life, he’s probably better known as a superbly inventive comic actor, first as a member of Monty Python’s Flying Circus and later on in films like the classic A Fish Called Wanda.

“Please don’t ask which I enjoy more — acting or hosting — because I love them equally,” says Palin on the phone from his London home.

“I have been unusually blessed in that I’ve been allowed to pursue two strands of a career that both delight me and seem to please the public.”

The travel side of Palin began officially in 1980, when he hosted Great Railway Journeys of the World for the BBC, but it actually had been lurking in his psyche for long before that.

“I’ve always been blessed, or cursed, some might say, with an insatiable curiosity, a desire to find something out about a people and a place. That’s where it all begins.”

After having gone around the globe twice, ventured from the North Pole to the South, and survived brutal conditions in both the Sahara desert and the Himalayan mountains, what made the 70 year old pick Brazil for his latest adventure?

“I’d never been to Brazil and that was a gap which had to be

Michael Palin stands in western Canada while speaking to students in the gym at Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School on June 26. It turns out that eating camel liver can sometimes be a bad idea. filled,” replies Palin with his quiet, off-centre logic. “It’s also the fifth biggest country in the world, it’s going to be hosting the 2014 Olympics and — until recently — it was a model of economic success. Dear Lord, those are all perfect reasons for going there.”

But Palin has never been one of those academic hosts and if he sets out to explore a place, he brings a joie de vivre to the proceedings that make the miles fly.

“Sex, sand and samba, that’s what a lot of people think Brazil is about, so I had to show them all that and more.”

For Palin, however, there has also got to be ‘a big surprise’ in each series and he reveals one in the first of four programs on Brazil.

“The northeast coast of Brazil is astonishingly like the west coast of Africa, which isn’t surprising when you think about the slave trade that passed between those places for centuries. Places

like Salvador are 82 per cent African and that is now quite a joyful thing.

“It’s mind blowing. There’s colour and food and a different sense of religion, all unique to the region. It’s rather neat to travel to a country you first learned about in school when you were eight years old and to have all your expectations spun topsy turvy.”

DAILY DIARY

There has also been a third strand to Palin’s life in addition to his globetrotting and comic mastery. He’s a superb diarist, a fact that is being revealed to us over time as he releases his collected works.

“So many people had been asking me to write an autobiography, or threatening to write my biography without any input from me, that I thought I’d better tell my story before other people told it for me.”

The results have been gripping reading, as you see a man trying to balance his career, his family life and some harrowing personal experiences along the way.

The first volume, The Python Years, spanned from 1969-1979, when a gallimaufry of young British comedians found themselves turned into superstars because of demented TV series called Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

The second volume, Halfway to Hollywood, spans 1980-1988 and covers the years when Palin

made the leap to the big screen, most notably in movies like A Fish Called Wanda and A Private Function.

“Publishing your diaries keeps you honest,” chuckles Palin. “For example, I have an entry written on the night I first looked at the script of A Fish Called Wanda and it says, ‘Not funny at all. How do I tell John (Cleese)?’

“But a week later, I’d met the cast and talked to John about the script and couldn’t wait to start filming it. In a conventional autobiography, I might have omitted the part about my self-doubt and just appear brilliantly clairvoyant about its success.”

Currently, Palin is working on volume three, which he says will go up to 1998, “but after that, I think I’ll stop. The closer you get to the present day, the more it seems like journalism or reportage.”

Looking at his past, however, has given Palin a unique perspective “on how much things have changed in the world, both overall and in my profession.

“Television is a lot different now, for example, than it was when I started these shows in the 1980s. There’s no more commonality of experience. There’s no more families sitting around the screen watching the same show and make it something they share.

“I look around me and there’s more people staring at screens now than I ever have seen in my life, but everyone is looking at different things at different times.”

Palin feels this has had a negative effect on our society.

“The impulse is not to go out into the real world. It’s to go into a virtual world which you will never taste, touch or smell. That’s horribly sterile to me.”

There’s time for one last question. Will there ever be a Python revival?

“I never say never,” answers Palin cagily. “But I always tell people it couldn’t really be a Python revival because Graham (Chapman) is dead and it just wouldn’t be the same. I wouldn’t rule out the rest of us getting together again, but I must also add that there’s no chance of it happening at the moment.”

Besides, Palin is much too busy and happy with what’s keeping him occupied.

“There’s only one secret to the life I lead. I enjoy what I do, every day.”

BRIDGING COMMUNITIES Ward 22 Update

Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean PLANNED WOODROFFE AVENUE CHANGES ARE COMING TO BARRHAVEN TO IMPROVE SAFETY

Continued from page 1

As we all know, this area of our community needs proper pedestrian and cycling capacity and until now, has not been able to be developed due to the rural road structure currently along the stretch south of Chapman Mills Drive. I have also heard various concerns about the volume of the traffic along this road that does not originate from our community. As part of this redevelopment, the street will be closed at Prince of Wales Drive as planned. The empty lots along the east portion of Woodroffe near Prince of Wales will become developed residential properties and the area infrastructure would be urbanized with features such as streetlights, sidewalks, and a cycling network to be installed along the updated Woodroffe Avenue. The proposed sidewalk will run along the east side of Woodroffe up to Chapman Mills Dr. from Whitewater and on the west side from Cresthaven Dr. to Chapman Mills Dr. These urbanization improvements will benefit both existing and future residents. I have heard from many residents of the great need for pedestrian and cycling elements along this rural roadway as they walk or ride to the shopping centres and transit networks at Chapman Mills Drive, such as the new Nepean Woods Park and Ride. Many residents will remember a similar closure on Bren Maur at Jockvale.

This closure application was planned by the Nepean City Council years ago, prior to amalgamation as part of the City of Nepean’s Official Plan and was required to be adopted by the City of Ottawa at amalgamation.

As a result, this previously approved road closure is contained in the City of Ottawa’s Official Plan and Transportation Master Plan. Although I was not on Nepean Council at the time, I trust that they had a progressive vision for the community that we now enjoy.

I have reviewed this file with the City’s solicitors and have been advised that if the City of Ottawa were to contest the closure, it would be faced with a significant financial liability.

This closure was previously presented as part of both the Prince of Wales Drive Environmental Assessment and the Strandherd Drive Widening project. As part of that process, a temporary right in – right out configuration was installed at this intersection until such time that the Strandherd Drive extension was completed and in use by local residents.

Now that Strandherd Drive is complete, the process to close Woodroffe Avenue permanently has begun. Other road connections in the area have included upgrades to Jockvale and the Longfields Drive extension.

Joan Kinnie, left, president of the Nepean Museum board of trustees, presents Bruce Campbell with a commemorative gift as part of his induction into the museum’s Wall of Honour.

I have been advised that once this process is complete, the road will be closed in 2014. As the process continues, I will be certain to keep the community informed through my columns and my website at SteveDesroches.ca.

Kinnie said the museum’s collection was the result of a lot of hard work and contributions from the community. “It’s the people that make a place a home and help it to grow,� she said.

Mike Nemesvary was honoured for his contribution to victims of spinal cord injuries.

Nemesvary was a freestyle skiing champion when a spinal cord injury ended his career in 1985. Since then his charity, the Back Up Trust, has raised more than $20 million worldwide.

The Bell family, whose donated heritage home Fairfield House on Richmond Road contains the second half of the museum’s collection, was also honoured with a place on the Wall of Honour. The family donated the home to the City of Nepean in 2000. Ruth Bell continues to work with Friends of Fairfields, an organization aimed at preserving the history.

Doug Frobel, whose namesake baseball diamond sits behind the Nepean Museum site on Rowley Avenue, was also given a place on the Wall of Honour. Frobel, who has also been honoured in the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame, played in the major leagues from 1982 to 1987 with the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Montreal Expos.

Another recipient who reached for the stars was Colin Franklin, who is a member of the Order of Canada. He played a leading role in designing the first Canadian satellite, the Alouette. Franklin has lived in Bells Corners for over 50 years.

Lois Long, who is a member of the founding Longfield family, was a member of the Merivale Pioneer Historians, which formed the foundation for the present day Nepean Museum.

Kinnie said she is best known

I often hear from families that the safety of our community is paramount; whether that is Ottawa Police or By-law presence, school crossing guards, speed display boards, or community infrastructure improvements. In keeping with this local priority, the first steps towards safety improvements along Woodroffe Avenue have started with the application to close Woodroffe Avenue at Prince of Wales Drive, as approved by the former City of Nepean back in 1997.

Local youth to get schooled in business Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre is lending a hand to local youth.

The centre is accepting applications for a program targeted at high school students in low-income neighbourhoods that offers entrepreneurial training.

Matthew Teghtmeyer, who will be running the program for the Pinecrest-Queensway centre, said there are lots of entrepreneur programs targeted at youth aged 18 to 25, but nothing for the 14 to 19 age group.

“It’s a great time, Teghtmeyer said of the teen years. “Because they should be starting their career planning and unless it’s (entrepreneurship) presented to them as an option it’s not going to be on their radar.”

Teghtmeyer said the program was developed by the centre, who then reached out to Bayshore Shopping Centre, the Rotary Club of Nepean-Kanata, Invest Ottawa and Bridgehead for financial and in-kind donations.

The first session starts July 9 and will run for the summer. It will last eight weeks and offer students lessons on developing a business plan, marketing and making presentations.

“There will be talks from local entrepreneurs who will give them an in-depth look at what it means to start your own business,” Teghtmeyer said.

Each session will have a 12-student capacity. Youth are encouraged to apply through the PQCHC youth employment Facebook page or by calling the centre at 613-820-4922.

“We developed the program because there is a lack of employment for youth,” Teghtmeyer said. “We are primarily looking for west-end applicants because that’s our catchment, but any youth living in a low-income neighbourhood can apply.”

The students will also get a chance to tour Bridgehead’s main roasting centre on Preston Road and enjoy a coffee and chocolate tasting seminar while listening to tips on business acumen.

At the close of the course, graduating students will get a $100 gift certificate to Bayshore and will be encouraged to apply for the summer company grants offered by Invest Ottawa.

The second session of the program will last 12 weeks and start in the fall, with a winter session starting in January.

“The youth should learn a lot and have fun while they’re doing it,” Teghtmeyer said.

City scraps payoffs for reduced parking

Connected to your community

Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to scrap a broken policy that lets developers pay their way out of parking requirements than try to fix it, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning committee decided.

The policy was ditched with little fanfare during a June 25 meeting, but one citizen who spoke to the committee said community associations have a deep interest in the issue and would

have rather seen a proposal to fix the policy. Daniel Mullaly from the Centretown Citizens Community Association said if the process is broken, the city should fix it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This policy has been mismanaged for an extended period of time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But CCCA thinks that abolishing it is not the solution â&#x20AC;Ś We are left without a policy or strategy to deal with a significant community issue.â&#x20AC;?

The CCCA and other community associations in Hintonburg, Westboro,

Old Ottawa South and the Glebe discussed the need to a comprehensive parking strategy for the city, Mullaly said.

Planning committee chairman Peter Hume, councillor for Alta Vista Ward, insisted the change doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean people will have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;free passâ&#x20AC;? to avoid providing parking.

The old policy required property owners and developers to pay a fee in exchange for a reduction in the parking they are required to provide

in cases where there are restraints on the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to provide parking.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only supposed to be used in cases where it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;clearly demonstratedâ&#x20AC;? that the requirements would result in an over-supply of parking.

The city would ostensibly use the money to build public parking facilities, but the report notes the amount of money collected will likely never be enough to replace the total number of spaces in the communities where they are needed.

FIRE HYDRANTS: TESTING FOR YOUR SAFETY

How much driveway is just right?

Tell us what you think!

This summer, as in past years, the City of Ottawa will be testing municipal fire hydrants on various streets throughout your community. Fire hydrant testing may result in temporary inconveniences, such as poor water pressure and brown or rust-coloured water. It is important to note that temporarily discoloured City water is not harmful to your health. This ongoing maintenance procedure ensures that our hydrants are ready, should Fire Services require their use.

City Planning staff are working on an amendment to the Zoning By-law that will make it easier to build a wider driveway in existing communities outside the Greenbelt.

The study on Residential Driveway and Parking Regulations in Outer Suburban Neighbourhoods will explore options to allow property owners to enjoy the convenience of side-by-side parking.

Over the next few weeks, the City will be testing fire hydrants in the following neighbourhoods:

You have an opportunity to complete a short survey on the City of Ottawa’s website.

The survey will illustrate what the current rules allow and several alternative options.

UÊ , ÛiÀÃ `iÊ- ÕÌ

For more information on what to do if you experience discoloured water and for daily updates on which streets will be affected, please visit our website at ottawa.ca/firehydrants.

You can also call the water information line at 613-560-6089 or the City of Ottawa’s call centre at 3-1-1.

Local acts make Bluesfest great

O

ttawa is spoiled for festivals each summer.

Dragon Boats hit the waters of Mooneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay. Jazz drifts through down-

town.

Countless other events draw people each weekend, with Canada Day leading the way.

On LeBreton Flats, blues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and an amalgam of other sounds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; draws thousands of Ottawans and visitors to this city.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky to live in a city that hosts the second largest blues festival in North America (Chicago holds top spot).

While the headline acts at Bluesfest garner the most attention, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local acts that make up the majority of the entertainment. They may play earlier in the day than B.B. King or the Tragically Hip, but every one of the local musicians is really what makes Bluesfest work.

Without the input of Ottawa artists, Bluesfest couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fill multiple stages for the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 days.

The payoffs from this commitment to the local community are immeasurable.

Not only does Ottawa get an economic boost as thousands of visitors arrive to take in the shows, the

local musicians get a chance to share their material with large crowds of music fans.

For the Ottawa entertainers, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the added bonus of getting to open a stage for national and international stars they might never have the chance to meet at any other time.

The RBC Ottawa Bluesfest always draws a few grumbles for straying from its blues roots, but the crowds that arrive each year suggest the lineups meet with mass approval. The growing list of genres that can be heard each year also means more and more local acts can try to snag an invitation to play.

And every note â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in some way â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can be traced back to the blues, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the root of almost every North American musical style.

And because Bluesfest draws such large crowds, ticket prices can often be much more affordable than an arena show by one headlining act. Once you have a ticket for that famous act, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also able to arrive earlier or stay later to take in everything the music fest has to offer. Including all those local acts.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never spent a lazy Saturday or Sunday wandering between six musical stages, taking in unknown acts and finding real gems, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been missing out. Grab your lawn chair and sunscreen.

And have fun right here in Ottawa.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss having our own man in Toronto

T

oo bad Dalton McGuinty had to leave politics in such an awkward way because he actually was a pretty good premier until things started to go a bit weird toward the end.

It would be an exaggeration to say he will be impossible to replace, because his replacement seems to be doing all right so far. But in one respect, Kathleen Wynne cannot replace McGuinty.

She is not from Ottawa. McGuinty is. That meant that for the 10 years McGuinty was premier we had a premier who knew that Ottawa existed.

Knowing that Ottawa exists is not as easy as you might think. The government of Ontario resides in Toronto and Toronto is a needy place. Amplified by Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rather noisy media, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs are all too evident. To remember that Ottawa exists, it helps to be from here and come back on weekends.

On those visits, a premier can leave behind Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traffic, its urban sprawl, its overcrowded schools and understaffed hospitals and notice our traffic, our urban sprawl, our overcrowded schools and our understaffed hospitals.

No matter what is going on in the 416, the premier will be reminded of the Queensway,

OC Transpo, Carling Avenue and some of the other things that make our city great, or not.

Not to mention some of the things that make Ottawa unique, such as the presence of the federal government, its departments and agencies and the need to go through nine layers of government (it seems) before action can be taken on any problem.

Born and raised in Ottawa, McGuinty couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but be aware of such things.

Wynne is from Toronto. This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily mean that she thinks all problems can be solved with latte. In fact, her instincts on the casino issue seem to be surer than McGuintyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. While he was in power, it looked like we would get one downtown whether we wanted it or not. Not long after Wynne came in, the downtown casino seemed to disappear

and it began to appear that the Rideau Carleton Raceway might in fact survive.

But being from Toronto, Wynne gets overexposed to all that Toronto stuff. Lately she has been musing about improving the provincial governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve prided myself and ourselves on being able to rebuild that relationship,â&#x20AC;? Wynne said, as reported by the Globe and Mail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It pains me that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as good as it maybe has been, and I hope that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to rebuild those relationships.â&#x20AC;?

This can hardly be seen as good news. Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s municipal leadership being what it is, rebuilding those relationships is going to take most of the time the premier has available. It is also going to take a lot of money, given the rather expensive list of things Toronto needs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as subways.

And while that is going on, the rebuilding process with Toronto, what happens to Carling Avenue and the Queensway and OC Transpo?

Not to mention light rail, which it sometimes seems we will never get.

Would it help if Ottawa had a more colourful mayor? Not meaning any disrespect to Jim Watson, but his demeanour does not demand attention, it does not cry out to the provincial government that if Ottawa does

not get what it wants he will hold his breath until it does. Other Ontario cities have mayors that.

So maybe Watson needs to develop a few rough edges, become colourful, learn how not to keep his temper in check. As soon as he does that, he becomes a problem and a problem needs to be solved.

Right now, Watson is not a problem for Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park. That was OK when an Ottawa guy was premier. But now, Watson not being a problem means Ottawa is not a priority.

Can Jim Watson learn how to become a problem? Maybe. You should never underestimate a politician.

Don’t tell me what to do

N

o one likes to be told what to do.

Kids get annoyed by it. Adults detest

BRYNNA LESLIE

it.

And there are some, like me, who always do exactly the opposite of what we’re told.

I like to think of it as a healthy disrespect for authority. It’s the main reason I went to journalism school. In fact, I believe queries about this should be on the journalism school application forms: “Do you have a healthy disrespect for authority?”

“No? You may be applying for the wrong program.”

“Yes? Automatic entry with full scholarship.”

So much do I hate to be told what I “should” do that I even reject the little voice of authority in my own head.

I’m sure I’m not alone in this.

In fact, I realized recently that others among you must have this handicap. Why else are we not all sipping Evian hourly, eating loads of veggies, exercising daily and basically just doing all the things we’re told we “should” do to lead healthy lives?

Because rules are made to be broken. And when that voice of authority speaks in my head, I just crave potato chips and dry rosé.

I started my own fitness routine in early April. After working like a dog all winter, sitting at my desk, tipping the scale and living on a steady diet of cortisol spikes, it was time to make a change.

In the first month, I forced myself to meditate on the voices of my doctor, my husband, my mom, my business coach, and even my six-year-old: “You must exercise, sleep, eat well and get outside more.”

Capital Muse It wasn’t working. At every moment of weakness – let’s say I was feeling too tired to work out one evening – I’d think about those authoritative voices and do something self-defeating like open a bottle of wine or take on a new magazine assignment.

To override that inner authority, rather than try to discipline myself enough to listen to that overbearing voice, I decided to try making the inner voice my friend.

Former church minister John Izzo writes about the importance of “mindfulness” in his book, The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die. He recommends setting one goal at a time and keeping a reminder note in an obvious place like your pocket or wallet. I did this. My note says: “Your best body.”

It’s a bit cryptic and people who do goal-setting exercises would probably criticize its vagueness. But the note is just a reminder, not the actual goal spelled out with all the blood, guts and determination it’s going to take me to achieve it.

So I carry this note around with me. It’s my pal. When I need to make any one of hundreds of decisions throughout the day, I take it out and read it. What’s the result? I’m working out two hours daily, eating healthier than ever, forgoing weekday wine. And

the best part is I’ve lost 16 pounds, which is four pounds away from the goal I set for September.

Skeptical? Well, here’s how being mindful works.

The other day, after waking at 5 a.m. with a baby, running around all day doing errands, cooking food and typing articles, the boys’ two-hour round trip to swimming lessons had done me in. Any thoughts of getting in a workout were out of the question. Tired, more than hungry, all I wanted to do was toss a grocery store pizza in the oven, drink a glass of wine and go to bed. But I happened to make a quick stop at my friend Kay’s place. She mentioned she was going to the gym after supper.

I got home and took the note out of my pocket. I thrust the pizzas at my husband and said, “I need 30 minutes alone in the basement.” I put the TV on, stretched, got on my exercise bike and pedaled my butt off for 12 kilometres.

By the time I got upstairs, the wine was open and the pizzas cooked. My carb-craving exhaustion gone, I showered, drank about a gallon of water, and then had a single piece of pizza and some spinach and edamame salad. Oh yeah, and a guilt-free glass of dry rosé – all because of that single, friendly voice that detests authority as much as me.

Tournament to raise funds for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footwear Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Shannon Blaney remembers the first girl she put a pair of shoes on.

She was wearing a sandal three sizes too small. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her face just lit up when I put on a running shoe that fit,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She hugged me and asked if they were for her to keep. It was a very emotional moment.â&#x20AC;?

Blaney is part of an Ottawa fundraiser which will offer children some sole support this month.

The south Ottawa resident is spearheading a golf tournament in support of Friendly Feet, an initiative she started in 2011

after she heard of a number of children who did not have proper fitting footwear.

The tournament is scheduled to take place, rain or shine, on July 25 at The Meadows Golf and Country Club.

This is the third year Blaney and the community will be raising funds for the organization, which delivered 500 pairs of shoes to Ottawa children during its first year, and raised $900 as part of a silent auction fundraiser the second year.

The goal for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraiser is $2,000, said Blaney, and over the last three years, the momentum has kept on going. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since more people are aware of Friendly Feet, I get ongoing

shoe drop offs throughout the year, so this year decided not to do a big shoe drive, but instead have a golf tournament,â&#x20AC;? she explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is catching on. The first year, we had just over 500 pairs of shoes, and last year, over 600 pairs. I was able to buy around 40 pairs of new shoes. Throughout this year I have collected around 200 pairs so far.â&#x20AC;?

Perhaps the best part for Blaney is when it comes to actually purchasing the shoes for the children, knowing they have likely not had anything new in their life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the fall, we will be in contact with the schools to find out what children need shoes,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Federal funding aimed at human trafficking Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The federal government hopes to have an impact on human trafficking in Ottawa.

Rona Ambrose, the federal minister responsible for the status of women announced that $200,000 would be given to Persons Against the Crime of Trafficking in Humans Ot-

tawa at a June 24 event at city hall.

“This project will help to support the safety of women and girls in our nation’s capital,” Ambrose said. “Our government is taking action to protect the most vulnerable women in Canadian society.

We are doing this through action plans, new laws and essential women’s projects.”

Ambrose added the federal government recently launched a national action plan to combat human trafficking.

To improve the safety of women and girls across Canada who are targeted for sexual exploitation.

The money will fund a two-year study that aims to prevent trafficking through education and collaboration.

PACT Ottawa, along with the Ottawa police and Crime Prevention Ottawa will be working together to compile the data.

Consultations within the community will aim to find gaps in programs.

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches said there have been charges of human trafficking laid by the Ottawa police in the past and he supports the initiative because it will work with stakeholders to protect the city’s

women and girls.

“Our organization is committed to ending the victimization of women and girls that results from the crime of human trafficking,” said Christina Harrison, director of project imPACT for PACT Ottawa. “We are pleased to partner with the Status of Women Canada and local agencies on this timely project, which will focus on vulnerable girls and young women from varied socio-economic backgrounds.”

Insp. Uday Jaswal, who be

the lead on the project from the Ottawa police side, said there it can be hard to identify trafficking victims because of under-reporting.

“I think there’s also a wealth of information in the many agencies locally that provide support for victims of human trafficking, but they don’t often get a chance to collaborate,” he said.

The project will be entitled Working Together: Engaging Communities to End Violence Against Women and Girls.

Local band gets lucky with second Blues Fest gig Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Entertainment - Three Times Lucky, a homegrown band offering a folksy, blues rock sound, will hit the Barney Danson Theatre stage at Bluesfest on July 5.

The five-piece band that rehearses at guitarist Dave Reidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Barrhaven home will also join the likes of Colin James and Johnny Winter at the Calabogie Blues and Ribfest on Aug. 17.

This is the second time Three Times Lucky will play Bluesfest. They played in 2011 following the release of their debut album Mojo Offa Muddy. Their second album, Down to Texas, was released in November 2012.

The second album quickly moved up to 14th spot of Dawg FMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top 20 CDs list. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an amazing thing to hear the song on the radio,â&#x20AC;?

Reid said.

The group formed in 2009, all of the members having abandoned thoughts of a rock star lifestyle in favour of careers and family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always kept playing music and once the kids were out

of the house we all kind of thought it would be good to get back into it,â&#x20AC;? Reid said.

Larry Deszcz, a self-described travelling peddler by day, said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to be able to play Bluesfest because of the chance to be side by side with some world-class musicians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The side stages are where you get some of the real gems,â&#x20AC;? Reid said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of them are really used to playing the blues circuit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like New Orleans, Memphis and Texas.â&#x20AC;?

The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home clubs include Greenfields Pub and Eatery in Barrhaven, the Black Sheep Inn, Ireneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pub and the Elmdale Tavern.

Reid describes them as a Friday night bar band. â&#x20AC;&#x153;John Ryder (a prominent Australian musician) said to me once, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the ladies up dancing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not doing your job,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Reid said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For some reason people like to get up and dance to our stuff.â&#x20AC;?

Reid handles most of the writing, but Deszcz said the band tends to jam things out and collaborate on the sound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first time I got a roy-

SUBMITTED

Three Times Luckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second CD Down to Texas was released in November 2012. alty cheque in the mail it was really something,â&#x20AC;? Reid said, adding that while it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much, he was happy to be get-

ting paid to do what he loves.

While the band doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan on doing a world tour, Reid said they are touring

local festivals and hinted at a possible show in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west end near the end of July.

Break bad habits for a better lifestyle Lifestyle - Bad habits tend to accumulate like drops in a bucket.

They are the little things we do daily that add up and ultimately impact our overall health and wellbeing.

To reveal bad habits that are common today, and how to turn them around to make positive changes in our lives, Dr. Janet Tamo, a consulting dentist for Crest and Oral-B, plus ďŹ tness expert, Kathleen Trotter, met recently to share their thoughts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inactivity throughout the day is one of the habits I see most often,â&#x20AC;? said Trotter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people drive to work, search for the closest parking spot to the entrance door or sit in front of the TV for hours after sitting

behind a desk all day. There are so many quick and easy ways to integrate activity into your day without sacriďŹ cing valuable time with family and friends.â&#x20AC;?

Trotter recommends integrating exercise into your routine with these examples: â&#x20AC;˘ Bike to work instead of driving. â&#x20AC;˘ If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to do so, park at the end of the parking lot and walk. â&#x20AC;˘ Opt to take the stairs instead of the elevator. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too much, get off the elevator early and walk at least one ďŹ&#x201A;ight. â&#x20AC;˘ Do some resistance exercises with an exercise band or exercise ball while watching TV. â&#x20AC;˘ Schedule and commit to weekly walking dates with your family or a friend.

Tamo echoes this advice when discussing oral health habits with her patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of factors that contribute to having a healthy body, including exercising and eating right, but many people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that taking care of their teeth and gums can be just as important,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of my patients are physically ďŹ t, but struggle with dental plaque buildup, which may lead to more serious oral health issues if left untreated.â&#x20AC;?

The effects of bad habits can accumulate and have a negative impact on your overall health over time. By choosing to make healthier choices every day, you can feel better about your health â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and have something extra to smile about.

By Jan Harder

While weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some very wet weather lately I hope your little ones are ďŹ nding some bright spots here and there to get out and enjoy the warmer weather. I thought this would be a good opportunity to share some important safety input with you hoping to spark conversations in our homes; conversations between caregivers, parents, children and neighbours about summer safety.

Summer means children have free spirits and they love to ride bikes, skateboard and rollerblade in the summer, it is important that they do so safely. The ďŹ rst rule of safety for these activities is to wear the right helmet.

When bicycling, a bicycle helmet with CSA, CPSC, ATSM or Snell certiďŹ cation is necessary to protect against falls.

When in-line skating a bicycle helmet, in-line skating or skateboarding helmet should be worn with one of the same certiďŹ cations. BMX Cycling enthusiasts should have a BMX Helmet which offers protection for multiple impacts. These helmets should have ASTM F-1492 cCertiďŹ cation. Finally Skateboarders should wear a Skateboard or select bicycle helmet with ASTM F-1492, Snell-94, CEN, CSA, CPSC, ASTM or Snell certiďŹ cation.

It is also important to make sure the helmet is worn properly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s useless if not. Follow the 2V1 rule to make sure your helmet ďŹ ts right: s 4WO lNGERS DISTANCE FROM HELMET TO EYEBROW s 6 SHAPE STRAPS AROUND EACH EAR s /NE lNGER BETWEEN CHIN AND FASTENED STRAP /F COURSE KIDS DON T HAVE TO BE RIDING ON SOMETHING TO GET hurt. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also important to review safe road crossing and with your children before they play outside.

Children can have a hard time understanding that trafďŹ c can come from several different directions so please remind them to look all ways when crossing the street.

Young children also do not realize it is unsafe to cross between obstacles so please remind them as well as to make sure they can see everything before they cross and take no diagonal paths when not able to cross at a corner. /NE LAST AREA TO STAY SAFE THIS SUMMER IS NEAR WATER 4HE #ITY OF /TTAWA WANTS TO REMIND RESIDENTS TO PRACTICE SAFE swimming habits this holiday weekend and throughout the summer. As the warm weather approaches and residents head out to lakes, beaches and pools it is important to remember that drowning deaths are preventable.

Follow these simple steps and you could save a life next time you are a lake, beach or pool: s !LWAYS KEEP CHILDREN WITHIN ARMS REACH IN AND AROUND the water. Never leave a child alone, whether it is in the bathtub, a swimming pool or any body of water such as rivers or lakes. s -AKE SURE CHILDREN AND WEAKER SWIMMERS WEAR LIFEJACKETS or personal ďŹ&#x201A;otation devices (PFD) in and around the water. s 3UPERVISE AND SWIM WITH CHILDREN ONLY WHEN FREE OF alcohol, drugs and distractions. s +EEP SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND A PHONE CLOSE TO THE POOL s #HILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF lVE SHOULD NEVER USE A HOT TUB â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not even with an adult. Hot tubs are too hot for young children, may have high bacteria, and the drain in the hot tub can trap children. s -AKE SURE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS LEARN TO SWIM s %NJOY SAFE BOATING -AKE SURE THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY members always wear a properly sized lifejacket/PFD when in a boat. When not in use, lifejackets/PFDs need to be kept in a dry, ventilated area and out of direct sunlight. s +NOW WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY INCLUDING #02 AND calling 9-1-1.

For more information about helmet, road and water safety, PLEASE VISIT /TTAWA CA /TTAWA HAS HIRED SUMMER STUDENTS TO MAKE SURE YARDS with pools and hot tubs are securely locked. Make sure your yard is secure, safety is everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility. http://www.janharder.com

Lumière festival lineup announced Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - New Edinburgh’s annual festival of light will showcase a number of Ottawa’s visual, music, film and circus artists this year.

The New Edinburgh Community and Arts Centre announced the lineup for the 2013 Ottawa Lumière Festival on June 25. The organization promises a three week-long festival full of activities fit for the whole family.

“Lumière is not your typical static audience experience,” said Melanie Davis, executive and creative director of the

centre. “Lumière embraces all different types of artistic expression, inviting artists from all over the National Capital Region to come together and collaborate through photography, film, performance and visual arts and create something unprecedented.”

Professional fire dancer Sophie Latreille, who will perform along-side her Mini Cirque/Fire Weavers troop for her 10th year, loves the participation and enthusiasm at the festival.

“I absolutely love the Lumière Festival,” Latreille said.

“There is a special ambiance there. It really is magical.”

The festival is presented each year by the New Edinburgh centre and celebrates creativity and light. Among the activities which will be returning this year are the lantern workshops, a photography marathon challenge, story telling, fire dancing and circus arts.

There will also be a lantern labyrinth, which invites festival patrons can silently walk through 600 candle lanterns that will be arranged in an ancient labyrinth pattern known as the “seven circuit labyrinth,” a pattern which dates back more than 4,000 years to ancient Crete.

More than a dozen artists will perform during the Evening of Light.

Davis said the festival invites participation, exploration and celebrates everyone’s creative spirit.

“Lumière tears down the fourth wall and provides a dynamic creative experience for everyone,” she said.

The event is pay-what-youcan. For more information about the festival or to view its full schedule please visit lumiereottawa.com.

Stay smart on the water says safety advocate Boatsmart takes to the water to remind boaters of the rules jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Staying smart on the water is all about common sense said Boatsmart president Cameron Taylor.

Taylor spent the morning of June 27 cruising the Ottawa River near the Nepean Sailing Club to remind boaters to be safe this summer.

He said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially important to be vigilant around long weekends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep an eye out for other boaters because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a lot more traffic on the waterways,â&#x20AC;? he

There is still a generational gap, but young people are understanding the importance of wearing a lifejacket and that drinking and boating donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mix.

CAMERON TAYLOR BOATSMART PRESIDENT

said.

Boatsmart was founded 10 years ago and is mandated by Transport Canada to outfit drivers with their Boatsmart operator card and to increase awareness of safe practices onthe water.

The fine for operating a boat without the card is $250, Taylor said, but avoiding the fine isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only reason to get the qualification. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to get the card so that when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out on the water you know how to navigate and know the rules,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Rule number one is never go out on a boat without wearing a personal floatation device.

Drinking and boating also donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seasoned boaters might think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to have a drink before they boat, but they forget that the effects of alcohol are four times more severe on water than they are on land,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding 40 per cent of boating fatalities are alcohol related.

Before heading out on a trip, the boater should file a travel plan with a trusted friend or the coast guard so someone knows when they should be back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people head out on a fishing trip in the spring and then if something happens no one knows where they went, so they die of hypothermia,â&#x20AC;? Taylor said.

He also recommended having a look at the navigation chart of the area where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be travelling to avoid rocks.

Checking the weather before you head out can prevent accidents, Taylor said, but if something comes up unexpectedly, keep an eye on what other boats are doing and head to the nearest safe harbour.

Ottawa band to show no mercy at Bluesfest Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Entertainment - Everything seems to have come together for local bluesrock band the Wicked Mercy.

Regulars at the Black Sheep Inn and Irene’s Pub, the four-piece band, known for the blistering vocals of Case Bronson, released their selftitled debut album at Irene’s Pub on April 27. They will also bring their unique brand of hard rock harmony to the Black Sheep stage at Bluesfest on July 13.

“We are pretty excited to be playing Bluesfest,” Bronson said. “It’s kind of like the brass ring in Ottawa.”

Coming off the release of their first album, Bronson said the band is pretty excited for what’s next.

The album was produced by Jordan Zadorozny, who is known for working with the likes of Sam Roberts, Hole and Melissa Auf Der Maur.

The members all bring something to the sound, whether it’s bassist and Nepean native Mark Sudiacal’s love of funk bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers or Dave Nado’s love of heavy

SUBMITTED

The WIcked Mercy is set to play the Black Sheep Stage on July 13 at 2 p.m. metal as evidenced in songs like Wanted Man or Love Like a Gun. “I like all kinds of stuff,” Bronson, a Hintonburg resident, said, naming influences such as the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Queens of the Stone Age, off the top of his head, while

the band prepared for a night out at the Jazz Festival to see the Doobie Brothers.

Before they hit the stage at Bluesfest, the Wicked Mercy will play Sab Stock in Pembroke, opening for David Wilcox on July 7. They are also

working on recording their own EP, which Bronson said they plan to offer for free.

“We have learned a lot about recording over the last year so we’re going to give it a try,” he said.

The guys are a tight knit group,

making regular treks out to Pembroke to jam with drummer Cory Zadorozny. Bronson said songwriting used to come solely from his stuff, but said the band is evolving into a more organic process where everyone has a little bit of input.

Plans for the future include branching out to shows in Toronto and Montreal and expanding their North American audience.

“We have had offers almost daily to review our album from Hungary, Greece, Budapest, France and the U.K., but not a whole lot locally,” Nado said.

But whatever happens, the music is a labour of love.

There are three bands on Nado’s street in Centretown alone – including one sharing the house he lives in – that will be playing Bluesfest. He said the Wicked Mercy jams once a week, but sometimes it’s a double bill with them in the basement and another band using the livingroom.

“We have the best neighbours,” he said.

The Ottawa police Direct Action Response Team paid a visit to the Hunt Club Park Community Association’s meeting at the Conroy Road Public Works facility on June 25.

When asked by a resident if gang activity was growing, Sgt. Marco Dinardo said he believed it was, but reassured those in attendance police had cleaned up some trouble spots in the past, such as Russell and Walkley roads.

“It takes a whole community to take back the city streets,” Sgt. Mark MacMillan said.

DART monitors gang activity and educates the public about gangs within the city. Members of the squad also come up with strategies to prevent criminal activity.

DART works alongside members of the Ottawa police guns and gangs unit.

“Whenever there is an area that has problems with gangs, we will go in as fast as we can to try and clean it up,” MacMillan said.

Several residents asked about which communities had gang activity.

MacMillan said while activity can occur throughout Ottawa, it’s not easy to pinpoint the exact location of a group as they tend to spread out into subgroups.

Of the 15 to 19 known gangs in the Ottawa area, there are approximately 400 members associated with them.

One of the groups, the Crips, originated in Ottawa’s south end, and now operates a series of subgroups across the city.

MacMillan said DART has two teams of investigators that try to divert any dangerous activity in a neighbourhood, such as criminal possession and trafficking of firearms.

Most members are young adults, the majority of whom have had multiple run-ins with the police over the years.

“We know all the gangs – that’s part of our responsibility with the guns and gangs unit,” said MacMillan.

Dinardo said young people join gangs for socio-economic reasons as well as for the op-

portunity to be a part of a group.

“A lot of the times, they’re from broken homes,” said MacMillan.

They also have low self-esteem, he said.

Gangs are a complex issue, said police Chief Charles Bordeleau in a statement.

“They involve at-risk youth and men and women in organized crime groups. We know that a multifaceted solution that involves the entire community is the answer. To that end, we as a community need to address the broader social factors at play.”

“Effective anti-gang efforts begin with partnerships among parents, schools, law enforcement, religious institutions, community

O T T A W A

R E G I O N A L

organizations, businesses and youth. And to successfully address the gang phenomenon, we need to develop a comprehensive gang strategy, involving several components: early identification of at risk individuals, education, prevention, diversion, suppression, exit strategies and community involvement.”

In September 2000, Ottawa police began to see evidence of the re-emergence of gangs and gang activity.

Police were reporting more serious violence, with guns and drugs becoming more prominent.

When it comes to the definition of a gang, said MacMillan, there has been much change over the years. Symbols and common names spray painted on facilities or structures are not spotted around the community as much, as gangs are becoming smarter when it comes to evading police.

“You don’t see too much of that anymore, it’s not like what we used to, but it’s still there,” he said.

He urged the community to continue reporting any suspicious behaviour in their community.

“If we are trying to suppress and curb gangrelated violence in the community, it’s not done by us alone,” said MacMillan. “It’s a community issue.”

He told residents they need not be overly alarmed about gangs, but to keep an eye out for each other, as gang-related activity affects everyone.

Anyone with information on guns or gang issues in their neighbourhoods can call DART at 613-236-1222, ext. 4410.

Assumption school holds chess tournament Students play mind games to improve studies Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Assumption School is thinking three moves ahead with one of its after-school clubs.

More than 40 students from grades 4, 5 and 6 participated in the end of the year chess club tournament on June 25. Principal Luce Paradis started the program two years ago as a means to get her students thinking in a different way.

“This is abstract thinking, which is hard to grasp, and this is how we are grasping it.”

Brad Thomson heads the Ottawa chapter of Chess’N Math, located on at Strategy Games on Bank Street.

The organization has been working with Assumption, attending its chess club meetings to teach the students how to play.

This chess tournament is unlike others, with laughter, clapping, and cheering going on throughout. Thomson said it is not about being serious; it’s about learning and having fun.

“Playing chess has been proven to help improve a student in their studies,” he said.

Thomson and teaching assistant Natasha McRae helped Paradis run the tournament and brought chess

buttons and medals for the students.

McRae, who will be attending teachers college in the fall, said she loves working with Chess’N Math because she gets to watch her students grow into amazing chess players.

“It’s all about teaching one piece at a time, then once you have all the pieces down, the strategy comes out,” McRae said.

It’s all about teaching one piece at a time, then once you have all the pieces down, the strategy comes out NATASHA MCRAE

The students who participated in the tournament sat on the gym floor while they played, some taking out an opponent in less then five minutes, others having a longer battle of wits to win.

Paradis said the Grade 6 students, who have been playing since last year, have become incredibly serious.

One teacher added when her students are finished with an in-class assignment, they ask if they can play.

“This is a game that really promotes a higher intellect and so many

of my students are succeeding on their own levels -- it’s great,” Paradis said.

The funding for the club comes from the Catholic school board, which has allowed the school to purchase enough chess sets to accommodate the students.

Paradis said she has played with a number of students during their Friday meetings and has lost to more than one student.

“It makes me proud, not sad that I have been beat,” she said. “I’m not good at this game -- the kids are better at it then me. You always have to think three moves ahead, and here they are thinking, and learning -- it’s amazing.”

The program is expanding, with more schools in the board signing up to take part in the fall, Thomson said.

Paradis said she is currently working on the school hosting a neighbourhood-wide tournament in the fall.

“It’s going to be aimed at anyone who wants to play chess,” she said.

Thomson said his organization is available for any school that is interested in signing up and can contact him at ottawa@chess-math.org. or by calling 613-565-3662.

River pathway could create new bike link laura.mueller@metroland.com

Lees Avenue to the Transitway station, Bennett said.

The Rideau River pathway isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only cycling infrastructure proposed to come to Old Ottawa East.

Earlier this week, the community got a glimpse of plans to rebuild itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main artery, Main Street, as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;complete streetâ&#x20AC;? with cycling lanes.

The city is spending $120,000 on the first design study for the pathway. Council would have to approve more money in the next budget for the project to proceed into detailed design.

EMC news - Building cycling links through Old Ottawa East will be an important way to capitalize on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investment in a light-rail station at Lees, said Capital Coun.

David Chernushenko.

The councillor pondered the neighbourhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential as an active transportation area during an open house on the preliminary design for a multi-use pathway along the Rideau River.

When looked at in a wider context, providing cycling links through the â&#x20AC;&#x153;islandâ&#x20AC;? neighbourhood thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedged between the Rideau Canal and Rideau River could become a vital cycling link to get people from the future light rail station at Lees to Lansdowne Park.

As the crow flies, the distance from Lees Station to Lansdowne is about 1.5 kilometres.

People bemoan Lansdowneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distance from a rapid transit line, but building the proposed Rideau Canal Crossing footbridge at Fifth Avenue and Clegg Street and connecting it to a new river pathway would create that access to rapid transit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an out for you if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to drive,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created whole new ways where people can move around.â&#x20AC;?

The path is proposed to stretch from Belmont Street in the south end of the neighbourhood along the Rideau River to the University of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus at 200 Lees Ave. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a project the community has been asking for for several years. In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already a well-used route in some parts, where bicycles and feet have worn a dirt pathway along the river in some points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community has a big investment in this project getting done,â&#x20AC;? said Old Ottawa East Community Association president John Dance.

Part of the trail through Springhust Park was already built as part of a recent sewer project. That section was constructed with stone dust â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a fine, gravel-like surface that some residents say they would like to see used for the entire length of the pathway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more natural, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooler and less intrusive on nature,â&#x20AC;? said Carol

Alette, a resident who attended a June 12 open house at the Old Ottawa East Community Centre.

The city is planning to pave the entire path, which is the standard for multi-use paths in the urban area of the city, said transportation planner Robin Bennett, who is leading the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re aiming at,â&#x20AC;?

Bennett said. Stone dust could be considered, but Bennett didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it would be the treatment chosen in the end.

The most complicated â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and likely the most expensive portion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be adding a ramp under the Transitway bridge at the Lees campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may have to cut into the shoreline for the ramp,â&#x20AC;? Bennett said, due to the narrowness of the strip of land and Redesigning that section will also be important to ensure there is a safe, direct link for cyclists to get across

ABRAHAM May your name be honoured among all the peoples of the earth!

Photo from Wikimedia Commons Giovanni Battista Pittoni, Sacrifice of Isaac, c. 1740. Currently at San Francesca della Vigna, Venice. “Then Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven, and said, ‘Abraham, Abraham!’ And he said, ‘Here am I.’ He said, ‘Do not lay your hand on the lad or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only begotten son, from Me’.” (Gen. 22)

bram was a man greatly favored by God. The Lord told him to uproot himself and settle in the land of Canaan, and he did, taking along his wife and his brother’s son Lot. (Genesis chapter 12) “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place which he was to receive as an inheritance and he went out, not knowing where he was to go.” (Hebrews 11:8) And the Lord said, “I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse; and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves.” (Gen.12)

A

you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.“ (Gen.32)

Names have meanings, and many characters in the Bible had their names changed

by God as their roles evolved. Saul the persecutor became St. Paul. The Lord said to His servant. “No longer shall your name be Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations”. I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come forth from you. And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you. And I will give to you, and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.” (Gen.17)

More than 200 references to Abraham are found in the Christian Bible. One is this famous passage in Galatians 3:28-29, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.”

Though both were elderly, Abraham and his wife Sarah (originally Sarai), produced a child. By divine intervention, Sarah bore a son and he was called Isaac. (Gen. 18 and 21) The Lord swore a promise to Isaac to uphold the covenant He had made with his father. (1 Chronicles 16:16) and enriched him. (Gen. 26) Abraham forbad his man to find a wife for Isaac from among the Canaanite women, so he travelled to the land Abraham had left and returned with Rebekah. (Gen. 24) Rebekah was unable to conceive at first, but Isaac prayed for her and she carried Esau and Jacob together. (Gen.25) The Lord made Jacob wealthy in spite of his trials with the crafty Laban (Gen.30) and confirmed as a statute to Jacob the covenant He had made with his grandfather.

(1 Chronicles 16:17)

The sons Israel had with his wives Rachel and Leah (Laban’s daughters) and their maids Bilhah and Zilpah became the patriarchs of the twelve tribes of Israel. Leah wasn’t the fine one, the one Jacob really wanted, but she ended up giving him six sons to Rachel’s two. ( Gen. 29,30 and 35) The Lord helped them as He had Sarah and Rebekah.

In John 8:39-59, Jesus made an unambiguous claim to being the God of the Old Testament. He was disputing in the temple with some of His critics and said, “Your father Abraham rejoiced that he was to see my day; he saw it and was glad.“ To this, they replied, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”

Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” Exodus 3:13-14 explains what Jesus was doing when He embraced the term “I AM.” The other people in the temple knew exactly what He meant and wanted to kill Him on the spot.

Islam, which now has even more members than Catholicism, is also an Abrahamic religion through Ishmael, son of Sarah’s Egyptian slave woman Hagar. God also promised to make a great nation of Ishmael because Sarah cast him and his mother out to die. The Lord sees what is done to you. (Gen.16) Conflicting, confusing beliefs exist among the religions, but there is something I can do with utter certainty. I can recommend the one Master and Commander: He who is known as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. I can say this standing on a rock. I can declare this from a high place. Seek salvation elsewhere, and you do so in vain.

Jacob wrestled with a man at Peniel until the break of day and was undefeated.

Mary makes first foray into world of cow milking

I

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;m telling you, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too young,â&#x20AC;? Mother said.

Father said he milked a cow the day he learned to walk. Mother said â&#x20AC;&#x153;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nonsense, and you know it.â&#x20AC;?

Rarely did I have so much attention sent my way and I loved every minute of it. With four siblings, rarely was I singled out, but that day I was getting my share.

The subject was if I was old enough to milk. Once a calf got to the cow stage, I lost interest in her and I had little desire to sit with my head on her belly and try to get milk into a pail. But Father said it was time I did my share like everyone else in the family. Needless to say I was never consulted as to how I felt about the issue.

And so on a Saturday, Father put a three-legged stool at the rear end of the quietest cow in the cow byre, put a pail under her and without a word of instruction told me to go ahead and milk.

The old cow turned her head in my direction and then back to chewing her cud. After watching my three brothers and sister do the milking often enough, I

MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories figured there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much to it. Well, I pulled and I tugged, and I spit on my hands and kept saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;sooo Bossie.â&#x20AC;?

Nothing worked.

The brothers were real pros at the job. The barn cats lined up on the other side of the gutter and every so often a squirt of milk would be headed in their direction. Without fail, the milk went right into their opened mouths. But here was I who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even get a drop of milk into the pail.

My arms ached right up to my shoulders and a couple times I almost fell off the three-legged stool. It was beyond me why the milk stool only had three legs in the first place.

To add to my misery, it was fly season and the poor old cow kept swishing her tail trying to rid herself of

the pests. With each swish, however, I took a lash square in the face.

Mother was right -- I was too young for this job. But to convince Father was another matter.

First of all, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the cow byre. It was full of cobwebs, the cows smelled differently from the horses and I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put it past any one of them to give me a good kick, especially when I was engaged in something as personal as tugging at her private parts.

Emerson, Everett and Earl were into the snickering and I knew it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be long before I was into the tears.

It was my beloved sister Audrey who finally came to my rescue. She finished milking her cows, the milk had been emptied into the cans, and came over to where I

was sitting hunched over, still tugging away with absolutely not a drop to show for my efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let me try,â&#x20AC;? she said, and I gladly surrendered the stool.

The milk spewed out on the first try with Audrey.

I blamed it on the cow. I thought I was doing exactly what my sister was doing, but it certainly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working for me. I was convinced the cow didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like me any more than I liked her.

Audrey tried her best to show me how to milk.

Nothing worked. Finally, she went up to Father who was at the far end of the cow byre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands are too small,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the cowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too big,â&#x20AC;? I offered.

Father ran his hand over my head. Even though it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t near my nose, I could smell cow and milk off him, neither of which were my favourite odours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try again some other time,â&#x20AC;? he said.

I was out of the barn before you could say â&#x20AC;&#x153;milk pail.â&#x20AC;? I ran to the house and told Mother I wanted to change my clothes. She knew exactly why. I bundled up

what I had on in the barn and brought the whole pile down to the summer kitchen to wait for the Monday wash. I asked Mother for a pan of hot water and wash cloth and towel, which I hauled upstairs to the privacy of the bedroom. I washed every square inch of my body I could reach, but I thought I could still smell the

not to bring up the subject and I knew, without a doubt, my milking days were over, but only for the time being.

Everyone had to pull their share back then and I knew the time would come when I would be led back into the cow byre and made stick at it until I could fill a milk pail like the brothers and Audrey.

Even though it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t near my nose, I could smell cow and milk off him, neither of which were my favourite odours.

cow byre off my skin.

I opened my sister Audreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drawer of the little wash stand we shared and took out her precious can of Lily of the Valley talcum powder and slathered it on with abandon. Then I put on clean clothes from the inside out.

When we sat down for supper, my try at milking was never mentioned. I figured the brothers had been warned

Not a word was spoken all during supper about how I had failed at a job that everyone worth his or her salt would be expected to do growing up on a farm long before modern milking machines did the job for you.

Even Audrey, who guarded her belongings like a mother hen guarding her chicks, never said a word about how I smelled of Lily of the Valley.

Cornmeal-crusted trout with jerk sauce tantalizes tastebuds EMC lifestyle - The delicate texture of farm raised-trout is enhanced by a light coating of cumin-scented cornmeal. As a contrast to its mild sweet taste, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created a bold sauce from fresh Ontario vegetables.

Preparation time: 15 minutes.

Cooking time: 20 minutes.

Serves four with 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) of sauce.

INGREDIENTS

â&#x20AC;˘ Fresh Jerk Sauce: â&#x20AC;˘ 4 green onions, sliced â&#x20AC;˘ 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped â&#x20AC;˘ Half a jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped â&#x20AC;˘ 1 sweet red pepper, cut into chunks â&#x20AC;˘ 3 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped â&#x20AC;˘15 ml (1 tbsp) packed brown sugar â&#x20AC;˘ 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each dried thyme leaves, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and garlic salt â&#x20AC;˘ 1 ml (1/4 tsp) cayenne pepper

â&#x20AC;˘ Canola oil â&#x20AC;˘ 125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped fresh coriander (optional) TROUT

â&#x20AC;˘ 2 rainbow trout fillets (375 g/12 oz each), skin removed â&#x20AC;˘ 175 ml (3/4 cup) cornmeal â&#x20AC;˘ 15 ml (1 tbsp) ground cumin â&#x20AC;˘ 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt â&#x20AC;˘ 1 egg â&#x20AC;˘ 75 ml (1/3 cup) milk â&#x20AC;˘ 20 ml (4 tsp) butter PREPARATION

Fresh jerk sauce: Place the onions, garlic and jalapeno in a food processor. Whirl until the contents are coarsely ground. Add the sweet pepper and tomatoes with seeds and juice. Add sugar, thyme, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic salt and cayenne pepper. Pulse until the mixture is chunky and pepper is chopped, about 10 times. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t puree.

In a large skillet, heat the â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was way to easy!â&#x20AC;?

oil over medium heat. Add the sauce and boil gently, uncovered and stirring often, until thickened -- about 20 minutes.

Stir in the coriander, if you are using it.

Trout: Cut fish into servingsize pieces. In a shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, cumin and salt. In another dish, whisk egg with milk. One at a time, coat both sides of fish in egg mixture and then in cornmeal mixture.

In large skillet, melt 15ml (1 tbsp) of the butter, over medium heat. Add the coated fish and cook until golden, for about three to five minutes.

Add remaining butter to side of pan.

Turn fish, letting melted butter flow over pan before placing fish down and cook for about three to five minutes.

Remove to plates. Spoon the jerk sauce on top and beside the fish.

Keeping us connected with everything and everyone, our ability to hear is priceless. Unfortunately, one in ten of us suffer from hearing loss. If ignored, even the slightest hearing loss has signiďŹ cant consequences. You become disconnected from your world as loved ones become mumblers and asking to repeat becomes a nuisance.

Your safety and independence is compromised. You risk misdiagnoses and diminishing cognitive abilities. Indeed, untreated or improperly treated hearing loss has a pronounced negative impact on your quality of life. Consulting the appropriate hearing healthcare provider, in the most independent setting, is crucial.

Privately owned and operated by Doctor of Audiology Rosanne McNamee, Hearing Solutions Clinic adopts a unique and refreshing approach to patient care which differs drastically with that of retail settings, larger clinics and manufacturer owned chains. When you walk into Hearing Solutions Clinic, there are no crowded waiting rooms, commission staff or sales tactics. Rather, you will feel at home as you are greeted in an environment with old fashion roots where the focus is personalized hearing healthcare, not hearing aid sales. From your very ďŹ rst visit, you become part of a team working together to reach one goal: to meet your hearing needs. Hearing Solutions Clinic is large enough to offer amazing professional services and products, yet small enough to devote all the time necessary for uncompromised customized care. You will get top quality, integrity, and no shortcuts.

Based on past experiences at other hearing clinics, patients are often pleasantly surprised by not only the thoroughness, attentiveness and inclusiveness at Hearing Solutions Clinic, but also the product selection. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Our patients are our top priority. We will never limit their hearing device options as others doâ&#x20AC;? says Rosanne.â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;We remain

independent so that all makes and models may be sold and serviced.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This enables Hearing Solutions Clinic to better meet your unique hearing needs, and at a competitive price because Hearing Solutions Clinic doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the enormous overhead of larger clinics nor does it have investors to please.

Rosanne further distinguishes herself from the other clinics by solely hiring professionals that are regulated and hold the highest level of education in the hearing healthcare ďŹ eld. There are no Hearing Instrument Specialists at Hearing Solutions Clinic, only Audiologists who are diligent at keeping the clinic up-to-date in technology and practice. They are qualiďŹ ed to service both children and adults, whether they are private pay or third party supported (WSIB, DVA, ACSD, etc).

Emotional service marks church’s final day Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Creating a Sustainable Public Sector Average Canadians understand that in order to be prosperous, you need to live within your means.

You cannot spend more than you make, and you see that every dollar is spent wisely. Our government knows this too. That is why we are ending stimulus spending and taking steps to balance our budget and return to surplus by 2015.

To do this, we are reforming the public sector in order to align it with current standards in the private sector. Public servants in the federal government have an average absentee rate of 18.2 days per year.

This number is two and a half times more than what is common in the private sector. To put this in perspective, on any given day, approximately 19,000 public service workers are off sick. This is unsustainable.

The solution is to reform and modernize the current disability system for public servants, which has gone unchanged for 40 years. By modernizing this system and creating a short-term disability insurance plan, we will be able to provide proper support to employees through periods of illness.

Rev. Shawn Seaman takes down the Trinity Presbyterian Church’s cross from the altar as the congregation completes the final service at its McCurdy Drive location in Kanata. After more than 30 years in that location, the congregation is building a new church at the corner of Richmond Side Road and Huntmar Road. welcome everyone in, rather than keep certain people out.

“What wonderful work has brought us to this day in the journey of Trinity, and now what a wonderful opportunity we have in moving forward,” he said from the pulpit.

In more practical terms, Seaman, who has been a minister at the church for 20 years, said the church has been looking to expand for a long time.

“We’re building a bigger church, so we’re hoping to make it available for more people to come and worship,” he said, adding that the church wants to be an active part of the larger community. “We’ve been very restrictive in terms of community use here so we’re hoping to make our new facility much more available to community groups.”

Rev. Ralph Kendall was the church’s first minister and he came from Toronto to take part in the final service. He said the change was a long time coming.

“My dream when I was here was for this to happen,” said Kendall.

“This wasn’t a closing so much as a moving forward.”

The Ottawa Hospice will take over the church building this summer.

In addition, we announced a new management system that will track public service employees’ performance. This government-wide policy will help boost productivity and morale. It will permit management to reward good workers while dealing with poor performers effectively. Ensuring that everyone is pulling their weight is a common sense approach that will encourage the public service to work to its full potential. This is another way in which we are bringing public sector standards in line with the private sector.

Finally, we are eliminating voluntary severance for public servants. This practice paid severance to those who quit or retired. It is very costly and not something that is seen in the private sector. This measure alone is expected to save taxpayers $500 million every year.

Our Conservative Government respects taxpayers’ hard-earned money. We are focused on keeping taxes low and returning to a balanced budget by 2015 so that Canada can continue to prosper for years to come.

EMC news - A Kanata congregation is breaking down walls as fast as it can build them.

Members of Trinity Presbyterian Church held their final service on Sunday, June 23 as they prepared to leave the building on McCurdy Drive for a new church at the corner of Richardson Side Road and Huntmar Road.

The new church is set to be finished in time for Easter Sunday next year and until then the church’s 135 families will worship at the Kanata Community Christian Reform Church on Castlefrank Road.

Trinity Presbyterian Church held its first service on McCurdy Drive at 3 p.m. on May 24, 1981. Bringing those 32 years full circle, on June 23 Rev. Shawn Seaman included the same hymns and scripture readings in his service that were read on that first day of worship.

Morgan Strickland then sang a version of the Lord’s Prayer in a soaring operatic voice, after which she promptly burst into tears. From then on, there were few dry eyes in the sanctuary as the service drew to a close.

With an upbeat hymn keeping tears at bay, members of the church slowly stripped the sanctuary of its sacred items for a symbolic procession out of the church at the end of the service.

Banners, paintings, candles and small tables were carried down the aisle while Seaman carefully unhooked the simple wooden cross at the front of the sanctuary. He carried it out of the church over his shoulder.

Outside, the congregation gathered in a circle for a small ceremony outside with the items.

In honour of the emotional day, Rev. Shawn Seaman delivered a hopeful sermon to the small congregation, which encouraged members to break down figurative walls between themselves and others even as the church strives to build physical walls around its new church.

Seaman said walls stand between us when we fear or judge each other out of ignorance or prejudice. By breaking down those walls, he said, the church can foster unity, peace and community with all people, regardless of gender, race, religion or sexual orientation.

He reminded his congregation that the construction of the new church offers an opportunity to

in lakes and larger bodies of water. PFDs are made just for dogs and are available at many stores – including the Ottawa Humane Society’s retail store located at 245 West Hunt Club Road.

A good PFD will have flotation all around your animal’s body, not just along their backs and will be brightly coloured and have a large grab handle along the back of the jacket.

If your dog has never worn a PFD, give them time to get acquainted with it before actually getting on the boat. Get your pet used to the PFD in small steps. Start with wearing it in and around your home, then outside for short walks and finally aboard the boat. Make sure the life jacket fits properly and allow your dog to practice swimming in it.

To keep your dog from swimming too far away, use a long nylon lead. Keep a close watch to make sure your dog doesn’t get tangled in the lead. This is a great way to make sure new swimmers are relaxed and comfortable in the water.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly!

Summertime and the livin’ is easy, until a heat wave strikes and the recent weather in the Ottawa area makes it difficult for furry friends to stay cool.

You may think that a backyard pool party or a trip to a local beach that allows dogs is a perfect way to beat the heat, but there are some things to think about before you dive in.

If you’re swimming with your dog, don’t get in over your head.

Many dogs will try to climb on their guardian’s head or shoulders when they tire.

Keep a close watch on dogs near pools: an untrained animal will probably head for the nearest edge of the pool to get out, but slippery pool walls do not offer an easy exit. Panic can lead to exhaustion. Barking may be difficult for a dog in the water, making it tough for them to cry for help.

Use a canine life vest or PFD. A well-fitted canine life vest is an easy way to keep your dog safe on a boat or while swimming

Hughie is a Scottish Fold, a grey tabby, whose ear cartilage is folded, giving his face an owl-like appearance Smart, sweet and laid back, Hughie is a loverboy with big round golden eyes and a soft, tiny voice which is only used for greetings and food emergencies. This fur-face is a trusting homebody and a sharer of favorite things such as live frogs and deceased field mice at the cottage. Playful, curious, he accompanies me ‘round the garden sniffing the roses, his only dispute with the evil resident squirrel. Folds are also loved for their amazing body contortions, their eccentric positions when asleep. Fur-face does this unique sitting thing called the “buddha position”. On haunches, leaning against a pillow, back legs stretched out and front paws crossed on a furry tummy, he sleeps… and everyone in the room tiptoes because we simply cannot bear to disturb this lovable wonder who chooses to live in our home.

will be sure to blow away any competition in obedience classes! Serena has a long, beautiful coat that will require some grooming to stay nice and soft, and to help reduce shedding.

Serena is a “Special Needs” adoption.

She came in to the shelter with a bad ear infection, and though she seems to be responding to the treatments, we are unclear at this point if her ears will be a chronic problem or not, as this dog’s new

owner you should be prepared for this possibility by discussing this with your veterinarian.

Meet Smudge, a 6-year-old, neutered male, brown tabby and white Domestic Shorthair cat who loves to cozy up with his human and is available for adoption!

Smudge is patient and has a great easy-going disposition.

He wouldn’t mind sharing his household with cats and children, as long as they are cool as a cucumber, just like him. Smudge has only ever known an indoor lifestyle, and would rather not be an outdoor cat.

Smudge loves to play and would love if his new family could provide him with great toys!

For more information about these or other animals available for adoption, please call the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www.ottawahumane.ca.
