Oh grew up in Nepean, and got an early start acting at Knoxdale Public School and Sir Robert Borden High School.

Oh was the opposite of the stern character television fans are used to seeing, as she laughed, smiled and several times, wiped tears from her eyes as she accepted the key at city hall. Her family, including her parents, who still live in Nepean, and siblings all sat with the star at the city hall presentation.

Besides Grey’s Anatomy, Oh has been in many independent films, and

won two Genie Awards and a Golden Globe. Before she was presented with the key to the city, the audience watched a highlight reel of her work from when she received her star on Canada’s Walk of Fame in 2011.

She dedicated a large part of her speech to her two young nieces, who grinned ear to ear when their aunt spoke to them about living with good values.

LIFE WELL LIVED

responsible for a life well lived,” Oh said. “And I wish that for the both of you.”

Oh’s first performance was in a play called the Canada Goose at Knoxdale Public School.

“And then going along Greenbank to SRB, a huge part of my entire time in high school was the Canada Improv Games,” she said. “I did so much of my training and acting in those formative years from Grade 9 to 13. I can’t tell you how much that training affected my career, so deeply.”

High-pressure salespeople seeking entry to homes News – A Barrhaven resident has reported that salepeople from a firm selling water heaters and air conditioning units have been trying to pressure homeowners into buying equipment.

In some cases residents may be led to believe the company’s salepeople are in some way re-

lated to a mandatory government inspection.

Scambusters.org suggests consumers aways get multiple bids for construction projects and that they check out contractors with local licensing bodies.

At one point, the current Sir Robert Borden principal came out to present Oh with a painted ceiling tile. As class president, Oh had promised advocating for painted ceiling tiles as a part of her campaign speech, something that didn’t happen during her year term as head girl.

News - Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley cemented his reputation as council’s most vocal opponent of bike lanes by voting against two bicycle-lane projects on July 5.

Hubley said he took issue with the “social engineeringâ€? of removing vehicle travel lanes on Main Street in Old Ottawa East in favour of a trafďŹ c-calmed street featuring cycling lane “tracksâ€? raised to the same level as the sidewalk.

The plan, which the transportation committee approved on July 5, would create a slightly longer commute for approximately 300 motorists using that route to get downtown from the city’s south end in the morning rush period. “I do not support the idea of taking away trafďŹ c lanes for vehicles in order to replace them with segregated bike lanes,â€? Hubley wrote in his most recent newspaper column.

At the July 5 transportation committee, Hubley said that the national household survey indicates 93 per cent of respondents across Canada say they use their car to commute. He said Ottawa needs to “ensure we’re not designing all our streets in a way that chokes off trafďŹ c and the ability to transport people and goods.â€?

Kanata South is well-designed with a network of multi-use pathways behind homes, which Hubley said are safer because they separate cyclists from other vehicles. “This is why I will never support a ‘complete street’ in Kanata South,� he wrote in his column.

Deputy city manager Nancy Schepers said converting a road into a complete street is “not an approach that will frankly work everywhere,� but it will work on Main Street.

Hubley said his understanding of what makes a “complete street� is a road where four lanes are reduced to two lanes by adding bicycle lanes and wider sidewalks.

But during the transportation committee meeting, councillors and staff discussed the need to better deďŹ ne

what the term “complete streetsâ€? means and potentially include that deďŹ nition in the city’s transportation plans.

Another councillor, GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans, opposed the Main Street plans not only because of the impact on her southend residents, but also because the city lacks a deďŹ nition of “complete streetsâ€? – something Deans said she supports in principle.

Hubley said his views are at odds with his colleague to the north, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who spoke in favour of complete streets during the meeting. Wilkinson, the former chairwoman of the city’s transportation committee, said the redesign of the street is about more than just commuters. “This street is pedestrian-hostile,� she said.

The neighbourhood and local businesses stand to beneďŹ t by making Main Street a destination and encouraging people to spend more time on the street.

Wilkinson said changing the conďŹ guration on Main Street doesn’t mean people can’t drive there; it just means it might take them a bit longer to use that route.

The city’s trafďŹ c engineers say the 300 drivers that could be affected during morning rush hour would have to sit in trafďŹ c for about three to ďŹ ve minutes longer than they do now.

Hubley also worried that putting cycling tracks at the same level as the sidewalk instead of a lane on the road would lead to more cyclists colliding into pedestrians.

The cycle track format is a new type of bicycle lane for Ottawa.

Tracks are being installed as part of the rebuild of Churchill Avenue and a portion of the city’s ďŹ rst segregated bike lane on Laurier Avenue West in Centretown is also set to be converted to a cycle track (Hubley also voted against that on July 5). “Are we going to see an increase in bikes nailing children as they walk down the sidewalk?â€? he asked city staff during the meeting.

Councillors reluctantly support casino at raceway Some might change votes after legal advice Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Councillors once again said they were holding their noses as they voted on July 9 to make the RideauCarleton Raceway the city’s only option for a new casino site.

But the final vote at city council on July 17 might see a different result, depending on additional legal information the city solicitor will bring to the meeting after representatives from the Ottawa Senators and Canadian Tire Centre blasted the city for what they say is a faulty and possibly illegal process of choosing where to put a new gambling facility.

While council voted in principle last fall to support a new casino, Watson said changes in leadership at Queen’s Park and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation opened an opportunity

for the city to specify where it wants a casino, and he now thinks the facility should be at the Rideau-Carleton Raceway.

Without it, the raceway and the approximately 1,000 jobs provided by the south Ottawa business would be no more, Watson said.

“This is the only way to protect slots at the raceway,” he said.

But critics of the move blasted the city for going down a road of sole-sourcing the bid for a new casino.

While Watson contends that any hopeful casino operator could submit a bid and then operate a casino at the raceway, critics said in a practical sense, the location and business operations must be linked.

Senators owner Eugene Melnyk spoke to the committee at length, pleading for an equal chance to submit his bid for a casino at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata.

“I’m not asking for a handout. I’m asking for a shot – a shot to make money so I can do this,” he said, referring to running his hockey team despite financial losses.

The Senators operate at a

great financial loss and a casino could help prop up the business, Melnyk said. But he brushed off the suggestion that he was threatening to take the team elsewhere if he didn’t get the chance to bid to build a casino.

“I’ve been doing this for 10 years. Why stop now?”

Melnyk said. “I still love this city.”

City solicitor Rick O’Connor agreed to get additional legal advice from thirdparty lawyers after the mayor and council received a tongue lashing from Capital Sports and Entertainment lawyer Paul Webber. He called Watson’s motion “unlawful” and “morally and ethically” unsound.

“You are bonusing a business. I don’t know how I can be more clear than that,” Webber said. “Not only does it not pass the smell test, it’s not legal.”

O’Connor said that’s not true – legal advice from an arms-length firm that defended the Lansdowne redevelopment contract indicated the city is allowed to specify a location. But O’Connor said he would like to look at the matter in more depth, given

the “aggressive” nature of comments from delegates like Webber.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said the goal of saving the raceway and the jobs it provides is laudable, but the city should have more information before it makes moves to save one business at the expense of another, such as a hockey team like the Senators.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, whose ward contains the Canadian Tire Centre, took a similar stance. He has supported the possibility of a new casino at the area all along, he said, but he would like to see it win in an open and competitive bidding process.

Alex Lawryk, spokesman for Rideau Carleton Entertainment, said the finance and economic development committee made the right decision on solid legal footing, but he supported councillors wanting to get more legal information at the city council meeting on July 17.

“They also said last November when they voted to move forward with the OLG program that they were going to hold their noses and vote then. So they’re still holding their noses and voting.”

While the raceway would like its own casino bid to win, Lawryk said the group would still be satisfied if it became the landlord to another casino operator, since that would still support the raceway’s operations and allow it to continue.

The only dissenting vote at the finance and economic development committee meeting was from Deans, who has been vocally opposed to a new casino.

RACEWAY WOULDN’T NECESSARILY CLOSE

At least one councillor was surprised to hear the city manager say that the Rideau Carleton Raceway would remain open and operated by

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk speaks to reporters during a July 9 meeting of the city’s finance and economic development committee. Melnyk wanted councillors to vote against Mayor Jim Watson’s motion that would force a new casino to be built at the Rideau Carleton Raceway, adding the city should consider all possible locations, including Canadian Tire Centre.

the OLG or a subcontractor if the city rejected OLG’s chosen option for a casino operator and location.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said that when he asked the same question last fall, he and council were told that rejecting OLG’s casino choice would mean the slots at the raceway – and effectively, the raceway facility itself – would shut down.

The news even came as a surprise to the representatives of the raceway.

“That’s a new but a positive wrinkle,” Lawryk said.

City manager Kent Kirkpatrick said that could end up being the result if the OLG chose not to renew its slots contract with the raceway.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt, who opposes a

casino, said it’s impossible to say whether the original vote last November would have had a different result if councillors knew the OLG would be open to continuing to operate the slots.

“It appears the direction of the OLG has changed since Wynne came in,” Moffat said.

But that option didn’t exist at the time, he added. The previous OLG power brokers were adamant that gambling would be in the urban area, or Ottawa wouldn’t get a gambling facility at all, Moffatt said.

The OLG might continue operating slots at the raceway if city council turned down a new casino, he said.

“The problem is, for how long? We don’t know that,” Moffatt said.

Aboriginal students empowered with green energy College to help diversify Hydro One workforce Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Five aboriginal students got empowered at Algonquin College during a four-day course between July 9 to 13.

The students hail from Golden Lake in Renfrew County and Curve Lake, Ont – about 25 kilometres northeast of Peterborough. They were chosen by their prospective band councils.

Denyse Diakun, director of the college’s workforce and professional development department at Algonquin, said the aim is to teach students about green energy technology and advocacy.

“It’s a partnership between the First Nation’s communities, Hydro One and the college,” she said. “Hydro One is working to diversify their workforce.”

After four days of instruction, which included a behind-the-scenes tour of the college’s Centre for Construction Excellence, students were asked to go home and present what they learned to their peers. They will also be able to perform home energy audits, Diakun said.

Claude Lloyd led the instruction, teaching students about energy-saving technology and related careers.

Classes were eight hours a day for the four-day duration of the workshop. The five students were a mix of high school and mature students and were paid for their time to attend the course.

Sébastian Blais, from the college’s physical resources department, led the tour, giving the students a chance to look at the living lab and apply what they had learned in the first two days of classes.

First stop was the biowall, a fivestorey wall made up of living plants that filter the air, providing oxygen to the atrium space and all five connected floors. Then they made their way up to the roof where they looked in at the college’s diesel powered generator, the boilers, so efficient that they only come on when the temperature outside dips below -20 degrees Celsius. Next stop was to look at the solar panels, which heat all of the water in the building.

The centre also boasts a living roof, covered in grass and plants rather than asphalt.

“If you look at this roof in isolation, it’s not a big deal,” Lloyd said.

“But if you think about all the roofs in the city made of asphalt and heating up and wasting rain water, replacing them would make a huge difference.”

FIRE HYDRANTS: TESTING FOR YOUR SAFETY 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.

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

Let’s avoid city planning extremes

T

here is little room for black and white when it comes to planning Ottawa’s future.

A good case-in-point is the debate that surrounded the decision to turn Main Street, running through Old Ottawa East, into what is described as a “complete street.�

This term describes a streetscape that makes room for all modes of transportation, from walking to cycling to cars to buses or other modes of mass transit.

It means wide sidewalks, designated cycling and transit lanes and typically fewer lanes for automobile traffic. It is the type of street that is meant to promote and support sustainable growth of cities, making the streetscape a friendlier place for those living and working in the area.

It is also something that can prove divisive, a situation that played out at a recent transportation committee meeting. Two councillors serving on the committee, both representing suburban wards, expressed concern with the effect such a street would have, not on those living in the area, but those passing through or living in areas that might become home to a complete street in the future.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said reducing the number of lanes on Main from four to two would have a negative effect on commuters from

her ward. Despite the good intentions of the complete street plan, that’s a concern worth considering.

In a similar vein, Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said Ottawa needs to “ensure we’re not designing all our streets in a way that chokes off traffic and the ability to transport people and goods.� Also a good point, but neither concern is reason enough not to make Main Street a more pleasant roadway for walkers and cyclists. They shouldn’t be ignored either.

As the city’s intensification policies play out and more people live in the urban core, it will no longer be feasible for more people to drive around their neighbourhood. This scenario won’t be playing out the same way in the suburbs, which will remain reliant on automobiles for decades to come.

The problem is, those people use the city’s urban core – for both work and pleasure – too. When they do, they’ll be riding in the comfort of their own automobiles. If we want our city’s roads to be as pleasant and as efficient as possible, automobiles must remain a big consideration for both city staff and councillors.

Like with many political decisions, the grey area between the black and white is where many of the best answers lie. Making sure Ottawa is a great place for all of us to live, work and play must be the paramount concern in all decisions made at city hall.

What happens when Alfie comes back?

I

t will be a few months before we have an answer to the big sports question, so far, of 2013. Will Ottawa hockey fans boo Daniel Alfredsson?

This is a bit of a trick question, because a percentage of people at the Sens arena have always booed Alfredsson. Those would be the Toronto Maple Leaf fans who have always hated Alfredsson for obscure historical reasons and have stumbled into the wrong arena.

But for most fans, Ottawa fans, the moment of truth will come the first time Alfredsson’s new team, the Detroit Red Wings, visits. Will he be booed, like Alexei Yashin and Dany Heatley, or cheered, like Mike Fisher, when he returned to Scotiabank Place as a member of the Nashville Predators?

Some people will never forgive Alfie for leaving Ottawa. Others will thank him for his many years of inspiring play for the Senators and wish him well. And some people will boo anyone not wearing a Senators uniform.

There are many different kinds of sports fans, as you found out reading the Internet comments on the day Alfredsson announced he was leaving town. While much of the city was in numb shock, some fans had moved on by mid-afternoon.

Online, they had already forgotten Alfie, as

Meanwhile the rest of the city was in mourning. The rest of the city was talking about Alfredsson’s character, his contributions to the city, his leadership, his influence on young hockey players.

People like this root passionately for the home team. They love Ottawa’s players because they play for Ottawa. The more prominent of those players, particularly those who become more involved in the community, are especially beloved.

Because these fans are so loyal to the players, they expect the players to be loyal to them. But hockey, like all sports, like all society, doesn’t seem to work that way anymore.

Players are not loyal to teams, teams are not loyal to players -- at least, not forever.

Stars like Alfredsson leave because they see a better chance of winning somewhere else, or because they are offered more money. Teams trade popular veteran players, like Mike Fisher, because they think they can get something in return, or simply to dump some salary. It is a business, as we are constantly reminded.

This is a tough thing to explain to a young fan and you put off explaining it for as long as you can.

People thought that Alfredsson was different, but it turned out he wasn’t. People thought the Senators would do anything to keep Alfredsson in Ottawa, and it turned out that they wouldn’t.

Some of us would like it to be otherwise, but it’s a business.

We should know that, from looking at the prices we pay to get in and from looking at the reports of the salaries players are making and the vast amounts of cash laid out for television rights. But there is a part of every sports fan that is a starry-eyed little kid, just

wanting to cheer for the home team, worship the stars and not know anything about the financial details.

And it’s probably that little kid who keeps coming back, despite strikes, lockouts, drug scandals and all the other unpleasantness that has been plaguing professional sport in recent years.

We want to believe the best of our athletes and the teams they play for. Our faith isn’t always rewarded, but it is often enough to keep us in the game. Over the years, Alfie was one of those who helped us keep the faith, which is why it is so difficult to see him go.

Re-discovering freedom I’ll stick

I

CAMPING

“Mom, I love camping,� said my seven-year-old the other day. “I feel so free when we’re camping.�

My boys are the perfect age to explore nature on their own terms. We set up camp and, with some established rules (okay, it’s still freedom with limits), they take off for hours at a time into the surrounding woods. It gives them the impression, at least, that they are loosed from the watchful eyes of parents and rules. They smash rocks and play war. They catch bugs and hide behind trees.

I asked my younger son what other kinds of things he likes to do in the woods. “Last weekend, we made a fort,� he said. “And we made up a game: how many rocks you can throw into the hole in the bottom of the tree.�

BRYNNA LESLIE

to the back yard

Capital Muse To the editor,

They create things. They have the autonomy to experiment without judgment or instruction and seemingly without limits. Much of this comes down to the fact that they’ve been camping since their ďŹ rst years of life. We’ve also taken them to interpretive nature programs and safety programs, like Hug-aTree-and-Survive.

For two years, my kids have been carrying the backpack kit provided by the local Search and Rescue team -- including a whistle, a plastic bag and a snack.

(We replace the snack on occasion). Age seven and eight, they’ve already been sleeping in their own tent for three years, which is shocking to most of their friends and mine.

Our ďŹ rst weekends of the summer also saw the baby get down and dirty. Barefoot on grass, she crawled about and walked, pushing her little wagon further than ever before.

One day, we found her with a squirmy green caterpillar wriggling between her wee thumb and foreďŹ nger.

(She may have been about to eat it, but for that moment, she was just examining it and giggling).When we’re camping, the baby eats well, sleeps well and hardly cries.

She gets dirt under her ďŹ ngernails and campďŹ re smoke in her eyes, and she loves it.

She’s a natural.

Sometimes we talk dreamily about buying a rural property so we can build a cabin or a chalet. But the thing is we love camping.

GROWING UP

Every trip offers an opportunity for the kids to meet new friends, explore new areas of the woods and grow.

And they do grow, physically and also intellectually and emotionally. There are no temper tantrums in the woods. There is empathy and patience. I can’t explain how their personalities seem to change. Not bound by four walls, no ceiling to block the elements, their internal rhythms kick in. They sleep when it gets dark, wake with the sunrise and eat constantly, but heartily. It really is a beautiful thing. They also like that mom is never distracted by the interrupting beep of her smartphone.

When’s the last time your kids experienced that kind of freedom?

When’s the last time you did?

Having read your editorial in the July 4 edition, I offer the following observations on your concluding paragraph: “If you’ve never spent a lazy Saturday or Sunday wandering between six musical stages, taking in unknown acts and ďŹ nding real gems, you’ve been missing out.â€?

Unfortunately I think I do know what I’m missing: • The long hunt looking for a place to park. • Once having strategically placed my lawn chair, having rude people stand in front of me with their butts in my line of vision. • Loud noise masquerading as music. • Hot, sweltering, sticky Ottawa summer weather. • Cigarette smoke, alcohol-infused screaming and the wafting odour of pot. • Crude language and sexually dominated lyrics. • Crowds, crowds, crowds.

So, my peaceful backyard and a cool beverage make a great alternative to something oriented exclusively to the teen, tween and twenty-something crowd, thanks very much!

7,&2

have to apologize to my friends and colleagues who’ve been Facebooking and sending me regular emails.

They know I’ve recently acquired a smartphone, so I should have no excuse for being out of touch. But here’s the thing: three weeks into summer and we’ve spent every weekend in Gatineau Park. Gatineau Park doesn’t have good wireless coverage for my network. So for three days a week, I’ve essentially been switched off.

Although I’ve been reprimanded by friends for forgetting ladies drinks night and hounded by editors desperate to assign me summer projects, I’ve been enjoying the weekends of freedom.

It turns out my kids feel the same way.

Stay RIGHT in Times Square!

Weigh in on LRT station names 24 by going to www.octranpos.com. Final naming recommendations will be brought to the transit commission for approval on Aug. 21.

OC Transpo’s manager of transit planning and reporting, Pat Scrimgeour, said station names need to be linked to their geographical location – preferably street names – to help passengers find their way. Fifty of the 51 transit stations in Ottawa have geographic names.

OC Transpo is recommending no external advertising be allowed on the trains do to concerns about damaging the trains or “degrading” the overall light rail experience.

Internal advertising in both stations and the trains themselves will be allowed, but OC Transpo is recommending the first five years of advertising be dedicated to “getting to know the system.”

“Advertising and information space on the inside of vehicles and in stations (would) be dedicated solely to learning the system and enhancing the customer experience from day one,” said David Pepper, OC Transpo’s manager of business and operational services branch. “From all perspectives, (we would) focus on the issues of wayfinding, safety, and public information in support of the line.”

The city will also be finalizing the interior design for the trains by Aug. 21. Recommendations include clean sightlines and a limited colour palate. A mock-up of the trains will be ondisplay next summer.

News - OC Transpo is looking for a moniker for its version of the “tube.”

Ottawa’s first light-rail system and first underground transit line, which has been deemed “Confederation Line” while under construction, will need a permanent name.

OC Transpo is also in the midst of coming up with a new name for the O-Train, as well as an overall name for Ottawa’s rail system.

Think the Métro in Montreal, or London’s “tube.”

Names for the 13 stations between Tunney’s Pasture and Blair will remained largely unchanged when they are converted to light rail in 2018.

Six stations will remain the same, including Bay, Lees, Hurdman, St. Laurent, Cyrville and Blair. But, OC Transpo is recommending several changes: • Tunney’s Pasture will be shortened to “Tunney’s” • Downtown West will become “Kent Station.”

• Downtown East will become “Parliament.”

• The station under the Rideau Centre will become, predictably, “Rideau.”

• “uOttawa” is being proposed for Campus station to identify which campus it serves.

• Train station will become “Tremblay,” to avoid confusion with other train stations.

OC Transpo is currently in discussions with the Algonquins of Ontario to rename LeBreton Station.

You can weigh in with your suggestions and vote on the proposed names by July

Nuts about nuts for Ottawa mom Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peanuts, walnuts, almonds, pecans or pistachios, Michelle Nel Chow needs to watch out.

Her five-year-old son, Nolan, suffers life-threatening allergies to multiple foods, including peanuts and tree nuts.

And while Nel Chow is well versed in what Nolan can and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sometimes hard to explain to babysitters, teachers or grandparents. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially hard because foods with the peanut-free logo arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t automatically ok for Nolan because they can still contain tree nuts.

She decided to write a series of books for kids about allergies, and recently released To Be a Nut or Not, the first in the planned series. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already written several articles about living with life-threatening allergies for Allergic Living Magazine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted creative, completely off-the-wall ways to bring up (allergies),â&#x20AC;? Nel Chow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are many products that have a peanutfree logo, but they contain tree nuts.

But a caregiver or a grandparent might assume its safe â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not.â&#x20AC;?

While Nolan has had allergies since infancy, Nel Chow said the books can help parents of children who have to be taught what foods they can and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a safe way for kids with allergies to learn what to avoid,â&#x20AC;? she said.

She hopes that teachers will be able to use it as a resource, and has sent copies of the book to different organizations that distribute or promote allergy resources.

Nel Chow said she would eventually like to see the book sold as an educational resource for elementary school libraries and classrooms.

She went into her sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OrlĂŠans elementary school to read the book to his classmates, and she said it started a good discussion about what nuts heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allergic to, and other friends and siblings with allergies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It opens up a conversation, and from there the conversation grows,â&#x20AC;?

Nel Chow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Questions like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What about coconuts?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And funny enough, coconuts arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a nut.â&#x20AC;?

She got the idea for the book some time ago, but had difficulty finding a publisher. She was able to sync up with another â&#x20AC;&#x153;allergy mom,â&#x20AC;? an illustrator from the United States, who drew all the pictures for the book.

They self-published the book and are distributing it through www.lulu. com. Nel Chow said by the end of July, it will be available on Amazon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will help empower kids,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know it might take a while, but I hope (the books) get where they need to be.â&#x20AC;?

Nepean-Barrhaven News EMC - Thursday, July 18, 2013

Business - Members of the Ottawa Real Estate Board sold 1,594 residential properties in June through the board’s multiple listing service system, compared with 1,662 in June 2012, a decrease of 4.1 per cent.

“June sales are down a bit since last month, but even though there’s a slight decrease, it seems to be the norm throughout the years,” says Ansel Clarke, past-president of the Ottawa Real Estate Board. “Since June 2003, with the exception of June 2011, sales have consistently decreased from May to June. This shows continued stability in the market over the last decade.”

June’s sales included 314 in the condominium property class and 1,280 in the residential property class. The condominium property class includes any property, regardless of style (i.e. detached, semidetached, apartment, townhouse, etc.), which is registered as a condominium, as well as properties which are co-operatives, life leases and timeshares.

The residential property class includes all other residential properties.

“The condo market has dipped below average. The five-year average for

June condo sales is 368 – putting June in at 17 per cent lower than the average,” says Clarke. “Although, when you look at residential units sold, without looking at condo sales, the decrease from year to year is only one per cent.

“Inventory on hand had been building up since the beginning of the year, but we’re now starting to see a small decrease which will bring the Ottawa market into an even more balanced buyer-seller territory.”

The average sale price of residential properties, including condominiums, sold in June in the Ottawa area was $359,232, an increase of 1.9 per cent over June 2012. The average sale price for a condominium-class property was $265,410, a decrease of 4.3 per cent over June 2012.

The average sale price of a residentialclass property was $382,248, an increase of 2.2 per cent over June 2012. The board cautions that average sale price information can be useful in establishing trends over time but should not be used as an indicator that specific properties have increased or decreased in value.

Sports - It was a busy day at Carlington Park when a number of allstar players came out to the community field to play a little baseball for charity.

Former baseball star Jose Canseco, boxing champion Riddick Bowe, Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Clark Seymour, former National Hockey League player Doug Smith and former football player and wrestler Glenn Kulka joined organizer and baseball fan Evan Malamud for the Home Runs for Autism fundraiser on July 6 at the community park.

The group of heavy-weight stars formed two teams â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Team Baseball and Team Hockey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to compete in a home run derby challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great cause, and everyone should help raise some money,â&#x20AC;?

Canseco said.

Malamud started this fundraiser in 2012 when he had challenged Canseco over Twitter to a derby, in hopes he would show and help raise money for autism. Canseco took on the challenge and came to Ottawa free of charge to help raise as much as he could for the charity. Malamud won the derby against his favourite baseball player.

The event took place at the Ottawa Baseball Stadium in May 2012 and raised more than $10,000 for CHEO. This charity is close to Malamudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart as his oldest son Jaedyn was diagnosed as autistic at the age of two and since the diagnosis Malamud and his family have spent a lot of time at CHEO for their autism services.

A year later, Malamud and Canseco were back at it, joking around like old pals and playing for the same team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He beat me last year so I though it would be better to play with him,â&#x20AC;?

Canseco told the crowd.

To prove this event was more about raising money for autism and less about egos, the 45-year-old Bowe, a two-time world heavyweight champion, picked up a baseball bat for the first time in 32 years to help.

Canseco said this would become an annual event, so even if people missed it this year, they should come out for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenge.

Both teams knocked a few balls out of the park, and making up for last year, Canseco went yard a number of times over the course of the afternoon.

An all-star game followed the derby, with members of both the Carleton Ravens and the Ottawa Gee Gees playing alongside Canseco and Bowe. Two fans donated $120 and $125 to play on Team Hockey for the game.

The friendly event had the players and fans mingling together, where Canseco signed balls, hats and shirts and Bowe sat in the stands and chatted with the crowd.

Malamud said the organization will take the next few weeks to tally to the total and present CHEO with a cheque shortly after.

Annual tournament to support Jump Start Jennifer McIntosh

As Nana to six and soon to be seven I know it can be difficult to find activities to fill those long hot summer days and keep the kids entertained. Here’s a short list of fun things to do around Barrhaven and in the City, along with some important updates.

Movies in the Park The City of Ottawa, in partnership with BOB FM, will be bringing Movies in the Park to beautiful Barrhaven this year. Friday August 2nd is the date and South Nepean Park is the location. The Croods is the movie.

Earl Mulligan Park The new Earl Mulligan Park play structure is now open! Not only are their multiple slides, monkey bars, climbing walls, swings (including a tire swing) and a smaller toddler structure, but the lifecycle playground design allows for a potential future water play area. The existing structure will remain as is for now, however we hope the children can one day enjoy the fun of cooling off in a splash pad.

Splash pads If you’re looking for a splash pad to bring your little ones to, Barrhaven has several, which are now open and operate 9 am to 9 pm, seven days a week.

Locations: Chapman Mills Main Street Park (424 Chapman Mills); Chapman Mills Park (139 Windhurst); Greenbank Park (895 Greenbank); Kilbirnie Park (665 Kilbirnie Drive); South Nepean Park (700 Longfields); Stonecrest Park (220 Stoneway); Teirney Park (50 Heritage Glen Drive) and Regatta Park in our Half Moon Bay. Hope the little ones enjoy this fun way to stay cool!

Public Swimming at Walter Baker Public swimming is another fun way to keep the kids entertained – the Walter Baker has many public swimming opportunities this summer. Visit Ottawa.ca or contact the Walter Baker directly at 613580-2788 for swim times and information.

Nepean Museum No summer vacation would be complete without a visit to the Nepean Museum. There are currently four exhibits running: Nepean - pieces of the past; New to Nepean - celebrating Nepean’s newest settlers; Faces and places – the war of 1812; and Honeywell homestead. For more information please visit nepeanmuseum.ca Update: contest winners This past month I was approached by a Berrigan Elementary student, Owen, who wanted to start a contest. His idea was to have kids send in photos of their gardens or what they thought was beautiful in their neighbourhood to show others how beautiful Barrhaven really is.

Councillor Desroches and I thought this was a wonderful idea and did just that. Though it only ran for a few weeks we had several entries and, with the help of Owen, the winners are now chosen.

First place winner – Van O’Neill; second place winner – Benjamin Jenkins; third place winner – Renee Papp Thank you to all who entered. It was great to look at all your beautiful photo and we look forward to doing the contest again next year.

Update: roundabouts There are currently two roundabouts being built here in Barrhaven; one at Jockvale and Cambrian and the other at Berrigan and Longfields. And we are expecting two other future roundabouts; one at Beatrice/Mountshannon/Longfields and the other at Cedarview and Jockvale.

Jockvale Roundabout: You’ve likely noticed the construction of the Jockvale Road at Cambrian Road roundabout happening the past couple of weeks.

The roundabout is part of the Jockvale Road Widening project and will eventually be a multi-lane roundabout. One lane of the roundabout is now open, the second will be phased in later in the summer, once residents are familiar with its features. For more information visit ottawa.ca.

Longfields Roundabout: The construction of the new roundabout at Berrigan Drive and Longfields Drive has begun with completion expected before the school year.

With this short construction schedule, motorists can expect traffic disruptions and delays, and they are advised to practice extra caution while following the direction signs around the construction zone. OC Transpo service will remain along the road during the construction period.

The roundabout at Berrigan Drive and Longfields Drive is a $750,000 project as part of the 2013 New Traffic Control Signals initiative approved by Council in 2013. This intersection is presently a four-way stop and is being modified into a single lane roundabout to improve safety and traffic flow. http://www.janharder.com

As always, I welcome your feedback. Contact me at jan.harder@ottawa.ca or 613-580-2473, and visit my webpage at www.janharder.com.

“Because of his energy and enthusisasim he was loved by many of the young camp participants,” Claude said,. “Many of whom came back year after year.”

The 2013 tournament will kick off with a barbecue on July 20, with an exhibition game, food and games. Last year more than 25 volunteers manned the opening event and welcomed 100 attendees.

Last year 32 players participated. Claude said he would like to top that number this year.

Members of the Barrhaven Tennis Club don’t have to pay to participate but are encouraged to make a donation to the Phil Leblanc Memorial Fund.

The memorial fund was created by the Community Foundation of Ottawa, and now provides support to Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart program.

Claude said because his son was so passionate about tennis, it stands to reason a charity in his name would help children access sports.

Spanning the Rideau The partially-constructed Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge was rolled into place over the Rideau River over the course of July 11-12. The 140-metre journey was accomplished by rolling the structure along the rail tracks that span the width of the river. Due to several construction delays, the bridge isn’t expected to open until late 2014.

The High Price of Big Spenders It all seems rather hopeless for Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debtor-nations.

Four of them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Greece â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have needed bailouts since the beginning of the global debt crisis. The underlying cause of this is too much government spending, ďŹ nanced with too much debt.

History has shown us that these governments can transform themselves, because it has been done before. Over the last two decades Germany, Israel and Canada have overcome debt and unemployment problems by departing from a culture of big government, towards one of free enterprise.

In Germany only 25 years ago, a ďŹ fth of the population lived under communism. In his ďŹ rst term in ofďŹ ce, Chancellor Gerhard Schroederâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s socialist policies made Germany the sick man of Europe. After four years, the country suffered a 10% unemployment rate and debt levels that exceeded the European Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allowable limits.

In 2003, Schroeder underwent a transformation and introduced policies which cut welfare programs, simpliďŹ ed labour rules and lowered taxes for businesses and workers.

Since then, unemployment has fallen by almost half to 5.3%. This is more than seven points below the Euro-zone average. Unlike its neighbours, the German government is expected to balance its budget by next year.

Israel has also revamped its welfare state. In 2003, thenFinance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recognized the need to change from the socialist policies of the day.

According to the authors of Start-Up Nation: The Story of Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Economic Miracle, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Netanyahu cut tax rates, transfer payments, public employee wages and 4,000 government jobs. He also privatized major symbols of the remaining government inďŹ&#x201A;uence on the economy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as the national airline, El Al, and the national telecommunications company, Bezeq â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and instituted ďŹ nancial-sector reforms.â&#x20AC;?

Heavy lifting A handful of locals came out to watch as more than 100 construction workers get set to begin the replacement of a 55-yearold, 600-tonne bridge where Highway 417 crosses Kirkwood and Carling avenues on July 6. The work is part of the Ministry of Transportationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repair and widening of the highway and took less than 24 hours to complete from the time work began at 6 p.m. This is the third time the province has replaced a bridge on the 417 using this method.

The result is that Israel now enjoys one of the most energetic and durable economies, despite having scarce natural resources and no friendly trading partners in the region. The jobless rate has fallen by almost half since the reforms, despite todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s global economic slump.

What worked for Israel is working for Canada.

Approximately 20 years ago, Canada signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which expanded one of the most successful trade relationships ever. Since that time, government spending as a share of the economy has plummeted from 50% to 41%, allowing for lower business and personal taxes. Since 1985, the federal government has privatized 30 state-owned entities, totalling $12 billion. These combined factors led the Heritage Foundation to report that Canada has the 6th freest economy in the world, ahead of the United States at 10th.

Such economic freedom has given Canada the lowest net debt-to-GDP ratio in the G8, a record number of people employed and a one-third drop in the jobless rate since the reforms began two decades ago. In fact, the story is the same in all three jurisdictions: less debt and more jobs than their competitors.

If the four bail-out nations had taken the same steps 20 years ago, we would not have a debt crisis in Europe today.

Fortunately, it is never too late to do the right thing.

Fresh market growing success in Overbrook Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Community - A small lineup of fresh-food lovers was on hand to greet the opening of a new monthly market in Overbrook.

The Good Food Market set up at the corner of Lola Street and Presland Road to offer fresh fruit, produce and dry goods for area residents. It is the brainchild of the local poverty and hunger working group, which is made up members of the Coalition of Community Health and Resource Centres in the city. Even though there are multiple farmers’ markets in the city, the Good Food Markets bring low-cost produce to areas of the city where markets aren’t available.

“The idea is to provide access to healthy, affordable food and the markets are open to everybody in the neighbourhood,” said Kaitrin Doll, who helps run the seven markets across the city.

The volunteer-run markets were first launched as a pilot project at several locations, including Sandy Hill and Michele Heights. Overbrook was one of four markets added to the list this year. The first event in June saw more than 100 people visit the market.

Even before the market opened at 10 a.m. on July 6, residents were milling about, waiting as patiently as they could to purchase some goods.

Angela O’Meara and her two children were among the early market goers, and they ended up purchasing a large bag full of fruit and vegetables.

O’Meara said her children love to eat fresh produce and she was happy to have the market in the neighbourhood.

The food is purchased through the Good Food Box program, a nonprofit organization run out of the Centretown Community Health Centre, which offers weekly produce boxes for $20, $15 or $10, depending on size. The money for the market was made available through the Community Development Framework funding. Some of the markets offer activities for children, live music, and cooking demonstrations.

The produce available at the July 6 market was based on a survey the

organization made available after the first market.

Mehdi Louzouaz, the RideauRockcliffe Community Resource Centre’s community developer, said the organization received great feedback and purchased its produce based on the suggestions from residents.

For the second market, the organization has raised the prices, which Louzouaz said will help cover some of the cost for the upcoming third market.

The third and final market will take place at the Overbrook Community Centre on Aug. 24 - the same day as the Overbrook Community Association’s community day.

There were a handful of volunteers on site to set up the market early on the Saturday morning and Louzouaz said their efforts are vital to the success of the events.

Vildana Stanisic-Keller volunteers for the Community Food Pantry and is in charge of purchasing dry goods for the market.

Dry goods are purchased by volunteer like Stanisic-Keller and sold for the same price -- there is no mark up.

“We are busy every week, in a different community,” she said. “But it’s a good busy.”

Stanisic-Keller said she loves to volunteer for the markets because it allows her to get out to different communities and meet new people.

“I have fun every time I come out,” she said. “I think this is the right way to fight malnutrition for kids and seniors. For me it’s the beauty to meet so many nice people from the community. I learn so much about neighbourhoods I didn’t know before and we are making good food available.

It’s great.”

More volunteers are needed to help run the markets and can contact kaitrin.doll@ofcrc.org for more information or visit gfmottawa.ca.

Good Food Market locations include: • Sandy Hill Community Health Centre, Chapel Street.

• Rideau Rockcliffe Community Health Centre, Overbrook neighbourhood.

• Nanny Goat Hill Community Garden, northeast corner of Bronson and Laurier.

• Nepean Rideau and Osgood Community Resource Centre and South Nepean Community Resource Centre, 76 Inverness Ave., • Somerset West Community Health Centre, Rochester Heights • Pinecrest Queensway Community Health Centre, Michele Heights Park

The Good Food Market is part of an anti-poverty engagement program run through the RideauRockcliffe Community Resource Centre, the Good Food Box and the Community Development Network.

Ottawa man chases Canadian history to high Arctic Researcher tracing Canadian Arctic Expedition 100 years later be set aside to commemorate the expedition’s 100th anniversary, Gray gave up trying to squeeze blood from a stone several months ago and turned instead to a crowdfunding campaign.

The team needs about $20,000 to cover the trip’s bare bone expenses, which don’t include individual travel costs incurred by the team members as well as their free labour.

“It’s a people expedition,” Gray said. He said many people connected to the expedition, the team members or who have an interest in the north have already come forward with generous donations. Corporate sponsorships and donations from people not otherwise connected to the project are also starting to come forward.

Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – One hundred years ago, a large team of scientists and adventurers were preparing for a journey of a lifetime to Canada’s high Arctic to document the landscape, wildlife and culture of the Far North.

The Canadian Arctic Expedition, launched in 1913, would come to span five long years of setbacks, human loss and scientific breakthrough and become one of the greatest, largely untold adventures in Canadian history.

It’s also a history Metcalfe resident David Gray hopes to bring back to life.

The independent researcher, writer and filmmaker has spent much of his professional life documenting Canada’s northern regions. Despite his home base in rural Ottawa, hardly a year has gone by without a trip to the Arctic since he first spent 11 months on Bathurst Island in 1968.

On July 17, Gray once again took to the north in an attempt to finally locate, survey and document the camps and locations of the original expedition a century ago.

“It’s an exciting opportunity to bring this site back to life, in a way,” Gray said, referring to the main site near Sachs Harbour, N.W.T., 500 kilometres northeast of Inuvik. “Even for the local people, they know it’s historic, they know it’s significant, but they can’t go back and say ‘This is where my grandfather put his tent’ because no one has mapped it out.”

The six-person team will fly into Sachs Harbour on the southwest shore of Banks Island on July 17.

From there they can easily access the expedition’s main headquarters west of the town, where they will spend a week documenting the site’s hut foundations and remnants of the schooner Mary Sachs.

From there the team will board a motorized sailboat Bernard Explorer captained by Bob Bernard, greatgreat-nephew of expedition member Peter Bernard. They will head due north to explore the western shore of Banks Island looking for any sign

Dr. David Gray left on July 17 for Canada’s North, where he will retrace the steps of the notorious Canadian Arctic Expedition that launched from Victoria 100 years ago. of Bernard, who was lost in the winter of 1916.

The last sign of his trail was found at the northwest tip of the island and Gray said it’s unlikely he ever turned south toward the safety of fellow expedition member Natkusiak’s camp in the nearby Gore Islands.

At the time, Bernard was carrying several large expedition mail bags.

Finding those bags – and anything still intact inside them - would be a

major windfall.

“The most likely scenario is he went through the ice and there won’t be anything to find,” Gray said. “But given the ocean currents ... stuff could be washed up on the shores at any time. It’s a shot in the dark.

It’s a needle in a haystack, but if you don’t look you don’t find.”

From there the ship will make its way south along the shoreline to document another 10 sites, includ-

ing Natkusiak’s camp. The crew should return home by the end of August.

The expedition will produce two documentary films, a historical record of Sachs Harbour to be used as a tourism guide, and could someday lead to a book.

Of course like many scientific endeavours, Gray said funding continues to be a barrier. Despite some indication that federal money would

“Everybody’s pulling together,” he said.

And putting off the expedition until more funds can be raised is hardly an option. As global warming takes its toll on the region, time is of the essence.

“Now that there isn’t ice protection in the summer months, the erosion rate is increasing dramatically,” Gray said, noting that as much as one metre of shoreline is eaten away every two years. That erosion is taking history with it. “Every storm, every high tide, artifacts are lost.”

Donors can still support the expedition with cheques to the Canadian Museum of Nature, or through the expedition’s website www.canadianarcticexpedition.com.

The crew will also maintain a blog and live map on their website throughout their journey, for Canadians who want to follow along at home.

Country fest headliners debut Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Arts - The sixth annual Greely Legion Country Music Festival promises another toe-tapping, foot-stompin’ weekend of music and merriment beginning July 26.

This year’s outdoor festival, which runs July 26 to 28, will welcome Douglas, Ont., band the Douglas Connection to headline on Saturday night – their first performance inside Ottawa proper.

“They’ve been at the Shawville festival, but not as far east as Ottawa,” said organizer Linda Wyman. “This is something new in Ottawa, a new entertainment for us.”

Other headliners include Howard Hayes, Lauren Hall and Roger Damphousse, and WRD, an Ottawa-area old-time country band that includes local legend Wilf Arsenault.

The festival will also welcome the McWilliams Boys – six Navan brothers under the age of 12 who will lead the audience in song and step dance.

More than 15 performers, bands and country acts will take the stage over the weekend, beginning at 7:30 p.m. on Friday with a performance from WRD.

“There’s a good variety,” Wyman said.

“There’s a lot of old time music, but there’s some gospel, too – the Gallagher family will be there. We haven’t ventured far from what we’re doing.”

Rough camping on the legion’s large property at 8021 Mitch Owens Rd. will open by June 24, and meals will be available at the legion for a nominal cost beginning on Saturday morning.

Weekend camper passes are $40 per person in advance or $45 at the gate. Walk-in day passes are $10 on Friday and Sunday and $20 on Saturday.

All proceeds will be donated to the Winchester District Memorial Hospital. Wyman said the legion hopes to beat last year’s $4,000 donation.

She’s also keeping an eye on the sky for good weather.

“I hope it goes off without a hitch,” she said.

Science underscores the brain benefits of the right fatty acids

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Squeaky clean Anna Mercier and Kristina Hamilton clean their first customer’s truck at the Raising Hope community fundraiser at the Wedgewood Plaza in Bells Corners on July 6. The fundraiser aimed to raise money for the plaza’s participation in Hope Volleyball Summerfest on July 13.

News - Diets that include a specific type of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid play a role in positive brain health, studies show.

A recent trial published online in PLOS-ONE Journal found that supplementation with 600 milligrams of DHA (sourced from algae) a day for 16 weeks, improved reading and behaviour in healthy school-aged children with low reading scores.

The Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) Oxford Learning and Behaviour (DOLAB) trial is the first large, randomized and placebo-controlled study demonstrating the benefits of this nutrient in reading and behaviour among healthy school children.

In an analysis of 224 children with baseline reading scores below the 20th percentile, algal DHA supplementation significantly improved reading. Reading was also significantly improved in the subgroup of 105 children with baseline reading scores below the 10th percentile.

Reading performance was evaluated using a standardized word reading test, The British Ability Scales (BAS II).

When comparing reading ages, results from the DOLAB trial also found that supplementation with algal DHA led to an additional gain in reading age. Supplementation with 600 mg algal DHA for 16 weeks led to an additional 0.8 month gain in reading age in children with baseline readings scores below the 20th percentile.

In addition, for children with

baseline reading scores below the 10th percentile, algal DHA supplementation led to an additional 1.9 month gain in reading age.

The results come at a time when many adults have limited to basic reading skills. According to Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, 48 percent of Canadians have low levels of literacy, pointing to the need for children to increase their reading performance at an early age.

“Maintaining overall health – and especially brain health – through good nutrition is critical, particularly at a young age when the brain is constantly developing,” says Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and author of Raise a Smarter Child by Kindergarten. “The DOLAB trial demonstrates that reading performance can be dramatically improved using a DHA supplement.”

LIFETIME BENEFITS

DHA is a polyunsaturated omega3 fatty acid found throughout the body and it is a major structural fat in the brain. Numerous studies confirm that everyone, from infants to adults, benefits from an adequate supply of this nutrient.

The vegetarian and sustainable source of DHA used in the trial can be found in hundreds of supplements and fortified foods and beverages.

Tramps always welcome at dinner table

F

ather was sure there was a hidden sign nailed to a tree, only visible to the countless tramps who rode the rails that said, “Jump here: good food up the hill.”

Deep in the heart of the Depression years, almost as if they were put there to remind us there was someone in worse shape than we were, tramps walked the back roads, rode the freight trains and survived by begging for their next meal. Countless numbers found their way to our kitchen door, always around dinner time, looking for something to eat.

They frightened me, although Father said they were harmless, and I was glad that if they did surface at night, we never saw them. My brothers were sure they often came up over the West Hill and slept in the barn where they were warm and away from the outdoor elements.

They seemed to know on the farm the big meal was at the noon hour. They also seemed to know when the family was all seated at the table, because that was when we would hear the gentle knock on the door.

They never had to ask for something to eat: we knew why they were there. Mother would look them over and if they were

MARY COOK Memories clean, having taken a wash in the Bonnechere River before coming up the hill, they were invited in.

If they looked like they needed a hand-scrub, Mother would take out a wash basin of warm soapy water, put it on the back stoop and told them to come in when they had washed up.

The brothers would squeeze together on the bench and make room for the tramp and Mother would laden a plate full of food. I would watch mesmerized as the food vanished as if they hadn’t eaten in days – there was a good chance they hadn’t.

Father would try to make conversation, but the tramps said little.

We five children clammed up as if we had lost our tongues. I wanted to know where they had come from and how they had become tramps, but of course I too sat mute while the food disappeared.

As quickly as they came, they spent just enough time to cram in their heaping plates of food and

then they stood and were ready to head out again. Mother would tell them to sit a spell and we always knew what she was going to do because it never varied all the time we lived through those Depression years.

She would take a brown paper bag off the rack at the back door.

Then she would go to the bake table and make thick sandwiches of whatever meat we had had for dinner. Always she would tuck in cookies or a big piece of pie and then she would go to the ice box and with the ice pick would chip off big slivers of ice and put them into a glass jar that at one time held pickles or preserves, filling it with cold water from the granite pail.

Often I would see the tramp wipe his eyes with the back of his hand, as he thanked Mother and tucked the bulging paper bag into the sack he carried on the end of a short pole resting on his shoulder.

He would go as quietly as he came, out the back door and down the hill, making his way to the railroad tracks. I knew he would be waiting until the next freight train rounded the corner at the very back of the farm. It would slow down to handle the curve in the track. Father said this was where they would jump on the train and go off to goodness

knows where.

We never saw the same tramp twice. They came in all shapes and sizes, and all ages. Some of them, I thought, were no more than boys, young like my three brothers.

I would wonder why they were tramps, and my brothers weren’t.

He would go as quietly as he came, out the back door and down the hill, making his way to the railroad tracks

Then one day I learned at least a partial answer to that question. The young tramp that rapped on our kitchen door that day was whip thin and as clean as a whistle. His hair was coal-black and slicked down, showing that he had taken more than a quick wash in the river.

Just as he finished tucking into his second piece of pie, he asked Father for a job. He talked more than any other tramp we had ever

fed. He was what was called a “home boy.” He came from England as a 12 year old, he said, from an orphanage. He was sent to a farm in the Ottawa Valley, where he suffered from abuse and endless hours of labour.

Father told him there was no money for a hired man and besides, we had three strapping boys to do the chores. But the tramp persevered. He told Father if he could sleep in the barn and have three meals a day and a flat-fifty of cigarettes every Saturday night, he would work for nothing.

That was how one of those tramps who rode the rails and depended on the generosity of others, became our hired man. He really became a member of the family and I would often see Father slip the man, who was really a boy, a dollar when he could spare it.

The tramps were a symbol of that era. We knew not where they had come from or where they were going. It mattered little what time of year it was. Winter or summer, almost daily we could count on seeing a tramp coming up over the West Hill. They were never turned away. They came hungry and they left with full bellies and enough food to take them to the next stop on their endless journey.

Odyssey theatre takes Shaw outside This year company gets helping hand from high school apprentices Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Arts - Theatre under the stars welcomes audience members to take part in a farce this summer as Odyssey Theatre brings one of George Bernard Shaw’s plays outdoors for the first time.

Odyssey will present Shaw’s Arms and the Man beginning July 25 at Strathcona Park. According the play’s director, Andy Massingham, this will be the first time one of Shaw’s plays will be performed outside. It will also feature actors in masks -- something Odyssey Theatre is known for. There will be little to no set, drawing the audience into the words and actions of the play.

“It’s going to be like a dream and the audience will see that life is a farce,” Massingham said.

The director added the costumes will be very eye-catching along with the masks and other actors in

“It’s going to feel like you are looking at a painting,” he said.

Dubbed an anti-romantic comedy, Shaw’s play explores love, war and social status.

“It’s possibly the funniest antiromantic comedy you can see,” Massingham said.

Originally set in 1885, Massingham said he has set the play in a more contemporary setting. The company said they are aiming to attract both Shaw enthusiasts as well as anyone else who may be walking through the park.

Arms and the Man coming to Strathcona Park Continued from page 32

“People are going to find it’s more than a play. It’s a bit of an event and really the play starts from the moment people entre the park,” Massingham said.

This year the company will also be offering indoor matinees -- a first for the company, which said owing to the unpredictability of weather and for the comfort of some long-time patrons, matinees will take place at Academic Hall Theatre, at the University of Ottawa with performances starting at 2 p.m. on Thursdays and Sundays.

Helping hands The performance has got a few helping hands this season as eight high school students are participating in the company’s youth apprenticeship program. The students get to experience a professional theatre company first hand. From stage directing, administration, acting and front of the house experience, these youth get the opportunity to learn as much as they can from Odyssey during the summer months.

The program also offers students the opportunity to collect volunteer hours.

“It’s great, at the end of the summer I might have at least 100 hours,” said Cléa Spencer, one of the youth apprentices.

She added the hours are a bonus, but really it’s the experience she can’t get enough of.

“You get so much more than just hours,” she said. “I recommend this program to anyone who is interested in theatre, and I also recommend you bring your enthusiasm too.”

For Massingham he said the experience the students is much more educational than simply sitting in a classroom.

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Cléa Spencer, Pippa Leslie and Andy Massingham hang out in Strathcona Park before rehearsal on July 11.

“It’s the ultimate summer camp,” he said.

“They each have their own role and it’s crucial that they care a part of it. We learn as we do. This is not drama class, it’s a show. We all, including the students, have our blood, sweat and tears in this.”

City hall-goers will be able to meet Spencer and her fellow high school colleagues at city hall. As of July 17, the young troupe will be performing a love scene to garner attention for the theatre company every Wednesday from noon to 1 p.m.

“It’s going to be like flash mob theatre,” Spencer said.

The young Canterbury student admits she thinks it’s going to be tough trying to get people to stop and watch their short play, but she says she welcomes the challenge.

“It’s such a physical performance and there is going to be some great music from another apprentice, I hope that makes people stop and pay attention,” she said.

Lead actress for Arms and the Man, Pippa Leslie, said working with the students has been great.

“It’s been great. I hope we can teach them lots of things,” Leslie said. “I just wish there was this kind of opportunity when I was in school.”

Spencer said Leslie and the other actors and stage hands have been great at making this program a great experience for her and the other students.

“Everyone has been really helpful, they will answer any of your questions and they make you feel like we are all a part of the process,” she said.

Regular performances are Tuesday through Sunday at 8 p.m. Tickets are $24 for general admission, $19 for students and seniors and $9 for children under 12. Matinees are $15 for general admission and $9 for children under 12. Families can purchase group tickets for $45 for the matinee shows and $60 for the evening shows.

The box office opens at 7 p.m. and the gate at 7:30 p.m. The pay-what-you-can shows move to Sunday nights. More information about the company or the youth apprenticeship is available at odysseytheatre.ca.

Arts - A 13-year-old Kanata Lakes teen took first place in a provincial solo piano competition.

Katerina Paravalos, representing the Kiwanis Music Club â&#x20AC;&#x201C; National Capital Region, vied for the position against 37 other top pianists in Ontario in the Grade 10 category at the Provincial Music Festivals Competition.

The finals were held in Peterborough, Ont., last month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really excited to have come first. I know the calibre of all the participants, I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really high,â&#x20AC;? said Katerina, who started group piano lessons when she was three and private lessons at age five.

Adjudicators select young musicians based on their music performances to play at the provincial level.

It was her first time in this competi-

tion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was selected to go represent the Grade 10 solo pianist class,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just enjoy creating music and expressing feelings through it. I find it a pleasure. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a pleasure to perform for other people and let them enjoy the music and emotion as well.â&#x20AC;?

Katerina competed in piano at the Kiwanis Music Festival in the 16year-old category and many of her opponents in the provincial competition were several years senior to her, said her mother Adriana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I compete against older people I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really focus on the fact that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re older than me â&#x20AC;Ś I just focus on having fun,â&#x20AC;? said Katerina, who also plays the violin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just so thankful to my teacher for helping me get to where I am. I know she works hard to help me and I know I work hard and I know with Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help I was able to play my best.â&#x20AC;?

Katerina will complete music theory courses over the summer, having just finished her Grade 10 practical exam in piano.

Even if the person leaves before an OSPCA agent can arrive, the vehicle’s owner will get an information package in the mail about the dangers of leaving animals in cars. If they are a repeat offender, they may be charged.

Leaving a dog alone in a hot car, even for just a few minutes, can be fatal. Each year, the Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) receives hundreds of calls about dogs left in vehicles on hot summer days.

A parked car can quickly become a furnace, even on a mild summer day, endangering an animal’s life and leaving the owner at risk of criminal charges.

With only hot air to breathe, a dog’s normal cooling process – panting – doesn’t work. A dog can withstand an internal body temperatures of 40C for only a few minutes before brain damage or death can occur.

Last year, we received 325 telephone reports of dogs in cars on hot days, 126 of which lead to warnings and advisories. The OHS Rescue and Investigation Services team removed eight dogs from cars and charged nine individuals, resulting in eight convictions. The OHS will continue to lay charges when animals are found in distress.

Signs of canine heatstroke/heat exhaustion include:

Zoe, a 7 year old white German shepherd, is a total Duchess. She isn’t afraid to get a little dirty in order to be one with the common doggies. Zoe has a gentle disposition and lives for her tummy rubs from Daddy. Every dog runs to greet her in the dog walking group and she of course obliges there attention with a romp. A lover of snow, she gleefully rolls in the white fluffy stuff at any chance. It keeps her white coat even whiter and her nose turns pink!

run – and an afternoon one too! He’s an outgoing, friendly boy who gets along well with other dogs and kids older than 12.

He’s looking forward to learning some basic commands, so his new family will need to send him for obedience training.

Charlie is a creature of habit who is most

comfortable in his crate, which he’s used since he was a teeny pup.

Meet Mr. Butters (A140976), a twoyear-old, neutered male, white and black domestic shorthair cat who would love to find a home with a fellow feline! Mr. Butters was surrender to the shelter by his owner June 5 and is now available for adoption.

Mr. Butters is known to hop into the tub after your daily shower to play in the water left behind. He’s a very affectionate cat with a gentle disposition and would be a great fit in any home. Mr. Butters would rather not be left outdoors, as he is deaf, and would not be able to hear the world or dangers around him. He would love if his new family could provide him with an array of scratching posts to use daily.
