Two members of the Ottawa River Canoe Club at Dunrobin have brought home medals from the Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg. Genevieve L’Abbe, 19, brought home two gold medals and a silver while Phil Turcanu, 17, just back from the Junior World Canoe and Kayak Championships in Romania, won a bronze. Genevieve teamed up with Lexy Vincent, a member of the Rideau Canoe Club in Ottawa, to win the K2 female 1000 metre event at the Canada Summer Games. Genevieve set a personal best time in this race. She and Lexy had trained together this year. Genevieve also won a gold medal in the K4 female 500 metre event, teaming up with fellow kayakers Lucy Pennyfather of Oakville, Hayley Plante of Toronto and August Sibthorpe of Ottawa. Besides her two gold medals, Genevieve also earned a silver medal in the K4 female 200 metre event, teaming up with Lucy Pennyfather, Hayley Plante and Lexy Vincent. Genevieve noted that there were some headwinds encountered in her races but she noted she and her teammates had some good starts in their races. The canoe and kayaking events at the Canada Summer Games were during the second week of the competition, so she got to attend the closing ceremony which she said was “fantastic.” She was able to see other athletes compete in different sports during her time at the Games, learning how they prepared for their events. She also got to meet John Curry/Metroland other athletes from across the country. An engineering student at Carleton University who has Ottawa River Canoe Club members Phil Turcanu (left) and Genevieve L’Abbe (right) wear their Canada Summer Games jackets after returning from the recent Canada Summer been on the water since she was 11 years old, Genevieve is competing in the upcoming nationals in Welland.

Both winners have Olympics as goal Continued from page 1
Her goal at this Canadian championship is to race her best and hopefully make the podium. She says that she is good at staying strong throughout a race and reeling in other competitors. She is working on starting faster and then staying fast throughout a race. A former rower, she says that she likes the feel of kayaking. Her goal is to represent Canada in the Olympics, perhaps in 2020 and then again in 2024. Ottawa River Canoe Club head coach Joel Hazzan agrees that Genevieve has Olympic potential. He sees Genevieve competing in the junior worlds next year. He says that Genevieve’s biggest strength is “her pure determination,” noting that she came back this season from a broken leg, an example of her perseverance and her will to compete. He says that Genevieve’s threemedal performance at the Canada Summer Games was an incredible performance. Phil Turcanu, 17, had just returned from competing at the Junior Worlds in Romania when he was off to the Canada Summer Games. He competed in two events
at the Canada Summer Games without having trained at all with his fellow canoeists. Despite this, Phil won a bronze medal in the C4 men’s 200 metre event, combining with Sam Djurfeldt of Oakville, Sam Pennyfather of Oakville and Jack Tuffy of Mississauga. He and Jack also competed in the C2 men’s 500 metre event in which they placed fourth. At the junior worlds in Romania in July, Phil had raced in the C2 men’s 1,000 metres and in the C4 men’s 500 metre events. He said it was really cool to line up against the top junior-level canoeists in the world at this event, noting it gave him a feel for what it’s like to compete at that world-class level. Phil has also worn Team Canada colours at the world juniors and Team Ontario colours at the Canada Summer Games, he is really looking forward to wearing his Ottawa River Canoe Club colours when he competes at the upcoming nationals in Welland. He said that wearing his home club’s colours in this national championship competition will be one of the highlights of his season. He admits, though, that he does not know what to expect at the na-
tionals in terms of competition. He knows a lot of fellow competitors are fast. Phil, an engineering student at the University of Ottawa who has been paddling since he was eight years old, says that he is usually quite fast off the line in his events and is usually strong during the second half of any race. Describing himself as a fit guy, he cites speed and endurance as key characteristics, adding that his goal is to compete in the Olympics. He enjoyed his time at the Canada Summer Games, noting he was able to see many other sports in action there. He noted the current in the Red River, which was the site of the canoeing and kayaking events, made for difficult conditions. Ottawa River Canoe Club head coach Joel Hazzan describes Phil as a very talented athlete who is still learning what it takes to compete at the highest levels. He said that competing in the junior worlds was an eye opening experience for Phil, competing against the best in the world, and he is confident that Phil will use this experience to his benJohn Curry/Metroland efit going forward. He sees Olympic potential in Phil, probably for the Ottawa River Canoe Club members Genevieve L’Abbe (left) and Phil Turcanu (right) stand together at the Club’s Ottawa River site near Dunrobin. 2024 Olympics.

Funeral for Venta Preparatory School founder PhD studies in child psychology at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan in June 1939. Dr. Sidlauskas immigrated to Canada in 1948 as a displaced person. She found herself in Ottawa in 1951 after accepting a position at the University of Ottawa School of Psychology. She retired from the school in 1979, but remained very busy working. In 1958, she founded the University of Ottawa Child Study Centre where she was also the director. She also held the position of Clinical Director of the Canadian Association of Learning Through Listening and Consultant Psychologist to the Toronto Montessori School and Montcrest School in Toronto. In 1981, Dr. Sidlauskas founded the Venta Preparatory School and was principal until 1993. It is the Venta school she is most known for in West Carleton, although she had a positive influence on children no matter where she was.
BY JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com
Venta Preparatory School founder Dr. Agatha Sidlauskas, affectionately known as Doc to the thousands of people whose lives she touched, was laid to rest under sunny skies during a funeral held Wednesday, Aug. 16 at the St. Isidore Roman Catholic Church. Hundreds of current and former students, their parents, friends, family and those who came to know her through her dedication to youth attended the funeral for one last opportunity to say goodbye to a person who had positively influenced tens of thousands of young people in her time on earth. Students of Venta wore their school uniforms of green and grey and took a prominent role in the service. Dr. Sidlauskas, who passed away on Aug. 3, was born Feb. 5, 1914, the seventh of nine children. The Lithuanian received her MA in philosophy in 1936 from the University of Kaunas before beginning her

Hundreds in attendance Continued from page 4
Following the service, the hundreds in attendance gathered in the church hall to share their personal memories of Dr. Sidlauskas. “Doc has a very special place in my heart,” said Gillian Mattock who has been the junior art teacher at Venta for the last 15 years. “I have learned so much from her gentle wisdom, not just about education and psychology, but also some home truths about myself. She brought order to my chaos.” All in attendance already know first-hand Doc’s “profound influence on the lives of individual children and entire families,” but Mattock wanted to share a letter from a former student named Juliet. “Where many others had told me I would fail, she would tell me to believe in success,” Mattock read. “Doc took me, an energetic and intelligent, loving child, previously diagnosed with ADHD, and moulded me in to a woman running my own business, not afraid to step out of my comfort zone and always ready to lend a hand. Thank
you, Doc for helping me become the woman I am today.” Nick Dodds met Doc, when he was at the Child Study Centre from 1967 to 1975. “This is a world that leaves people behind,” he said. “Doc was loving, selfless and gave people the tools to keep up. We are so lucky that we’ve all been touched by this great, great woman.” Current Venta principal Marilyn Mansfield knew Doc for more than 40 years. “Doc was such an amazing woman,” Mansfield said. “She was quirky, insecure
Dr. Agatha Sidlauskas
socially, very secure professionally. She changed my life and I know she changed many others too. She never asked anyone to do anything. If she thought something needed to be done, she would just do it.” Mansfield remembered a conversation she had with Doc, about how well thought out Venta was. Mansfield said Dr. Sidlauskas replied with a laugh. “‘I never planned anything in my whole life,’ she told me,” Mansfield said. “It was always for the children. The children had to have fresh air. They had to be able to be outdoors. They had to be able to run around. That’s why she bought the property.” Mansfield said despite Doc’s passing, “we” are not alone. “She’s still with us I believe,” Mansfield said. “I believe it’s our task to carry on the tradition. The program is inspired b her and it will always be her program, She was loved by many and loved them all back.”

West Carleton Terry Fox Run on Sept. 17 SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
7 Tips for Entrepreneurs – The Sequel CONNECT. Meeting new people, creating rapport, building trust relationships, asking for support and looking for ways to support others; this is the definition of connecting. When you are consistently connecting you are exposed to new ideas, information and opportunities. You can learn from others, share best practices and create energy and excitement for your business and your community. Networking is not a one time activity. The true payoff comes from creating a habit of connecting, being open and positive about the value of others. PROTECT YOUR PRIMARY ASSET. And that asset is YOU! What insurance policy or process do you have in place if something happens to you? Now ask, how well do you take care of yourself. Traditionally, business owners live in their business and that is understandable because there is a lot at stake. However, the biggest risk is not being able to support your business at all. To be anything less than your best physically, mentally and emotionally will result in opportunity costs and draw out or eliminate your ultimate success. Create a healthy living plan that will support your business and life goals including nutrition, exercise, sleep and managing stress. Schedule it in as you would any important client meeting or event. This strategy falls into the important vs. urgent category and will pay off big for your business.
Sunday, Sept. 17 is the date for this year’s West Carleton Terry Fox Run.

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life . . .”A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, selfdoubt, and ego. The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?” The old chief simply replied, “The one you feed.” Yours in prosperity,

Terry Fox, who had one leg amputated due to cancer, embarked on his Marathon of Hope east-to-west crossCanada run in 1980 to raise money and awareness for cancer research. He ran the equivalent of a full marathon each day but had to end his run after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres due to a return of his cancer. He died in June, 1981.
Kinburn Side Road SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
Kinburn Side Road in Kinburn will be closed to through traffic until late October as reconstruction work takes place. The closure will affect Kinburn Side Road from Donald B. Munro Drive to Loggers Way through Kinburn. The road will remain open to local traffic for those going to and from homes or businesses in the affected area. There will be a temporary detour around the construction site during the period of work. The construction work involves replacing storm sewers along this stretch of roadway as the existing storm sewers have reached the end of their service life. The work will also involve reconstruction of the roadway as well as installation of a new curb and concrete sidewalk on one side of Kinburn Side Road.

GO FOR IT! Your mindset is one of the big 3 pillars for your success (along with habits and skills). If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you can’t. Cultivate a mindset that is condusive to your success. Your mind is the same as your body, it is only as healthy as what you put in it. Your mind is most open to influence early in the morning and late at night so those are great times to schedule in reading, podcasts and other training. By the same token, protect your mind when you get up and when you go to bed. Eliminate those things that are not productive including negativity, judgement and lack of ownership. Be selective about the company you keep. Remember, you are the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with. This story emphasizes the power of your mind.

Emergency situations in West Carleton One fire and two water rescue calls on Ottawa River SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
They were two emergency situations — one involving smoke and one involving water. Ottawa’s emergency services, including the Ottawa Fire Services, responded to both of these situations last week. It was on Monday, Aug. 14 at 4:42 p.m. that Ottawa Fire Services received a call from an alarm company, reporting alarms at a Cardevco Road location in West Carleton. Upon arrival at the scene, Ottawa Fire Services crews reported a haze of smoke in the building,
declaring a working fire. The fire was considered brought under control by 5:14 p.m. There were no injuries reported and an Ottawa fire investigator was dispatched to the scene. No dollar loss from the fire damage has been released to date. Cardevco Road is located in the industrial park area at the northwest corner of Carp Road and Richardson Side Road in West Carleton. On Friday, Aug. 18, the Ottawa Fire Services received a 9-1-1 call at 5:38 p.m. reporting
an overturned canoe in the Ottawa River near 4064 Armitage Ave. in the Dunrobin area of West Carleton, with the canoeist yelling for help. Upon arrival at the scene, firefighters confirmed that a canoe had overturned but then went out of visual range of sight. However, the firefighters were able to confirm that the canoeist was able to make it to shore safely. The Ottawa Police Service and the Ottawa Paramedic Service also had personnel on scene for this incident.
Another water rescue incident happened on Sunday, Aug. 20, when the Ottawa Fire Services received a 9-1-1 call at 9:57 p.m. reporting a flare visible about 500 metres offshore in the Ottawa River in the Armitage Avenue area. Water rescue technicians launched water rescue boats from Greenland Road where Fire Command was established. Firefighters took to the water to investigate the report but no additional flares were seen. However, there were fireworks seen on the Quebec side of the river.

The Premier has promised to help out business that are going to be hurting under the new minimum wage regulations, but a letter from the Labour minister makes me think this won’t be the case. Jackie Fraser owns a small grocery store and wrote the government to tell them that her business is going to struggle with this massive 30% wage hike. In the response to Jackie, the department assured her that in their belief “decent, law-abiding Ontario businesses” will adjust to this sudden change relatively easily. So it would seem that the government is either, not listening to the numerous small and medium sized business that have expressed grave concerns about what this will do to their businesses, or they believe that any business that has trouble coping with a 30% hike to operating costs is simply not “decent” or “law abiding.” If the Premier is serious about her expressed desire to help out these businesses she needs to be straightforward with what that plan is. Otherwise it looks like the government believes what some of the extremists on this issue believe, namely that any business that somehow can’t cope with a 30% hike in costs, have a bad business model and do not deserve to survive.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Canada should focus on its issues
T
he events in Charlottesville, Va., where a clash between white nationalists and counter-protesters turned violent and deadly, have exposed the racial divisions that still exist in the United States. That such racism is still percolating in the United States is depressing, especially after the country elected its first black president in Barack Obama, seemingly closing in on the end of such racism. Then, along came Donald Trump and suddenly racism has blossomed again in that society. Racism seems so Neanderthal-like when it happens. But sometimes there is no rationale for human behaviour. For instance, there’s lots of evidence of the health dangers from smoking. Yet people smoke. There’s much scientific evidence of the adverse impact of climate change on the world. And yet some continue to deny its existence. And yet, why does racism continue to hold such sway over us humans? Before we Canadians get on some high horse on this matter, let us not forget our attitude toward Jews in pre-war decades, our treatment of Japanese Canadians in the Second World War,
and, most depressingly, our residential schools’ history and our treatment of Indigenous peoples in general. We are far from innocent on this human rights/racism file. We view ourselves as a nation that values equality and fair treatment of all. But while these attitudes can be legislated and preached, the challenge remains to wipe racism from the thoughts and actions of our society. The United States, as the events in Charlottesville show, has not eliminated racism in that society. And we in Canada, given our current ineffective grappling with our Indigenous legacy, find ourselves in a similar scenario. Let the States worry about its situation. Hopefully, its racism will be eliminated someday. But for us, we should resolve our Indigenous quandary. Politicians continue to talk about the issue but we need action and we need it now! Let’s get it resolved so that we can all go forward together as a true society that not only talks the talk but walks the walk when it comes to fairness and equality and universal respect for one and all. We have seen in Charlottesville what happens when racism and bigotry are allowed to fester. That’s not the route that we as Canadians should travel.
Not everyone pays attention to calorie counts A few weeks ago, my son and I bused to TD Place to sit on the hill overlooking the east side of the stadium. The Redblacks started out in fine form. We were on a picnic blanket, had a mini can of cola each and a large bag of No Name chips. It was set to be a good and cheap night. At the end of the first quarter, the skies opened. We were forced to take cover at a local eatery, where we could watch the next hours of the game on a big screen a block from the stadium, itself. I had already eaten supper, but I knew we’d be there for a while. I started perusing the menu. Every item — from salad to hamburgers — was over 500 calories. Most entree items were 1,000 calories or more. I settled for a 340-calorie fish taco, and started to wonder how anyone can eat out in good conscience any-
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse more. In January, Ontario introduced new legislation requiring chain restaurants of a certain size to list calorie counts on menus. The legislation has had its critics who say it’s expensive for proprietors and is unlikely to have much of an impact in the so-called war against obesity. In the U.S., where calorie-listing on menus has existed among various states since 2008, one independent study found that while the informaVice President & Regional Publisher Peter Bishop pbishop@metroland.com 613-283-3182

tion may not have an immediate impact, they do become a consideration over time. The Washington-based authors interviewed more than 3,000 people who frequented a local restaurant chain between 2008 and 2010. They published their findings in the American Journal of Public Health in 2014, noting that “the proportion [of diners] who saw and used calorie information tripled [in those early years], from 8.1 per cent to 24.8 per cent.” But who’s actually reading the information? The reality is that calorie counts are more likely to have an impact on those who are already health conscious. The American study, above, found those most likely to examine and make decisions based on calorie amounts were affluent, white men and those who qualified as obese.
On the flip side, however, there is preliminary evidence in the U.S. that some restaurant chains have been affected by the exposure. Some chains that were forced by local and state governments early on to list calories on menus have actually found ways to reduce the number of calories per serving. Some chains in Ontario are already using the calorie counts in their marketing campaigns — black coffee, for example, has zero calories per serving. What a great choice! Calorie counts, alone, aren’t enough to force people toward healthier decisions. But it is important for us, as a society, to have information at-hand to help us make good choices. I, for one, was gobsmacked that a burger entree was over 1500 calories and that a salad could make up more than a third of my daily calorie allow-

Men’s Ministry’s fall program to include MPP and historian SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
The Men’s Ministry of Fitzroy Harbour is organizing its fall program. Before these fall monthly get-togethers happen, the Men’s Ministry will be holding its second annual men’s barbecue for couples, hosted again this year by Charles and Alexandra Cheatley at their home
NOT ENOUGH HOMES FOR CATS AND DOGS
on Pakenham Mountain. Following a period for fellowship, the barbecue will get underway about 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 26, with the menu including bacon burgers and corn on the cob. As for the fall program for the Men’s Ministry group, September’s meeting will feature MPP Jack MacLaren, who will
talk about how the Ontario legislature works. In October, the guest speaker will be local historian and author Terry Currie, who will speak about water transportation on the Ottawa River before the advent of the railways. The November meeting will feature a Remembrance-related program.
This cat should have been spayed. Spaying/Neutering prevents the births of cats and dogs for whom no homes can be found. In Canada, tens of thousands of cats and dogs are put to death annually in pounds and shelters because there are not enough homes for them. And how many more die on the streets from sickness, injury and starvation? PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR ANIMALS.

Mayor’s Report
CELEBRATING OUTSTANDING CITIZENS WITH THE ORDER OF OTTAWA By: Mayor Jim Watson
Every year, I have the honour of inducting 15 Ottawa residents into the Order of Ottawa and awarding the Brian Kilrea Award for Excellence in Coaching. Along with my Council colleagues, I established this prestigious civic award in 2012 as a way to recognize those who, through their extraordinary work and commitment, have helped make our city a better place to live. The Order of Ottawa is bestowed upon exceptional residents who have made a significant contribution in a professional capacity in many areas of city life. This includes arts and culture, business, community service, education, public service, labour, communications and media, science, medicine, sports and entertainment, and other fields of endeavour that benefit our fellow residents. The Brian Kilrea Award for Excellence in presented to an amateur coach who best exemplifies the qualities of leadership and commitment. As we celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary this year, I cannot think of a better time to also celebrate the remarkable residents who have had a significant impact in the lives of others and in their community. I invite you to consider nominating them for the Order of Ottawa or the Brian Kilrea Award for Excellence in Coaching. Nominations for both awards may be completed by visiting www.Ottawa.ca/OrderofOttawa or by filling out a nomination form in pamphlets that are available at the City Hall Information Desk, and at your local community centre, all branches of the Ottawa Public Library, or at any client service centre. The deadline for nominations is on Friday, September 8, 2017. Recipients of the Order of Ottawa are chosen by a Selection Committee comprised of the Mayor or Deputy Mayor, City Clerk and Solicitor, Chief of Police, Chief of Protocol, City Archivist, and the Chief Executive Officer, Library Services, and will be officially inducted as Recipients of the Order of Ottawa during a special ceremony at City Hall.
Donating $630 to flood relief weeks for the specific purpose of helping with the flood relief. A cheque for the $630 that was raised was presented to Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Association flood relief coordinator Heather Lucente on Wednesday, Aug. 16.
It is truly a privilege to recognize the accomplishments and contributions of these influential people who enrich our city and have made a difference in the lives of others in our community. I look forward to receiving your 2107 Order of Ottawa nominations.

At least four homes will have to be completely demolished and rebuilt next year and these families will need support while all this is happening. The number of volunteers who came out to help during the flooding and afterwards over the last couple of months has been astounding, said Lucente. “We are so grateful to everyone who has helped or made donations,” she said. The parish of St. Thomas in Stittsville had decided to wait until the first flush of help was over before making a donation with the view that donations often fall off when a crisis is no longer in the news and yet the need still remains.

Canada’s top female golfer Brooke Henderson will have home-course advantage in more ways than one when the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open tees off at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club in the Hunt Club this month. “I’ve never played an LPGA tour event so close to home before and so to have the fans and my family and my friends come out and watch it is really amazing, and I’m really excited for the opportunity to put on a good show for them,” the 19-year-old Smiths Falls native said June 21 during a media event at the club, held to promote the Canadian Pacific-sponsored
championship. Canadian golfing legend Lorie Kane, who will also compete, took part in the event preview, which included a friendly skills competition.
be a little sibling rivalry, I guess but we’re best friends and we get along really well.” Do they ever have any spats? “Not really, no. I think we may be the unusual sisters,” she said with a laugh. “There’s going to be some disagreements at some point but we work through them really well.”
In addition to playing so close to her hometown, Henderson also considers the south Ottawa course her home club. She first walked its links at age of eight during the 2008 National Women’s Open, and last played the course – of which nine holes have been redesigned – a month ago. Henderson acknowledged that competing Aug. 21 to 27 in the LPGA Tour championship, in which a total purse of US$2.25 million will be up for grabs, comes with added pressure. But she said she has learned a lot over the last two years about the importance of time management, that “… if I want to perform to the best of my ability I have to say no sometimes. “But I also want to embrace it and spend a lot of time with media and fans and show them how I appreciate their support. But with that being said, if I play well, then everybody’s happy,” she said. HOMETOWN PRIDE It was just about a year ago when the Town of Smiths Falls opened its arms to welcome the Henderson sisters home after competing in the summer Olympics at Rio

Kevin Haime identifies good viewing spots BY JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
Ottawa golf pro Kevin Haime says the average golfer can learn a lot by watching LPGA golfers in the CP Women’s Open at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club. And he should know as Kevin is one of Canada’s leading golf instructors. In 2000 Kevin received the Canadian PGA’s National teacher of the Year Award, the top recognition for golf instructors in Canada. He notes that higher handicap golfers frequently swing off balance. This does not happen with the LPGA pros whom he says are very disciplined swingers of the club who always stay in balance. While PGA pros swing relying on power and velocity, the LPGA ladies’ game is based on rhythm and balance. He says that there’s a lot to be learned by watching how these LPGA pros hit the golf ball with great rhythm and with such ease. As to where to watch these LPGA pros during the CP Women’s Open, he advises picking a favourite golfer or two and follow them for a whole round one day and then on another day pick out a couple of viewing spots on the course and stay there, watching the golfers as they play through. He says that there are a couple of nice vistas at the Ottawa Hunt that are good viewing spots. One is behind the par-three eighth green. From there, a spectator can also watch drives and approaches on the par-four seventh hole and also see the shots on the short par-three 17th hole as well. Another good viewing spot is behind the

15th tee where a spectator can not only see the players play that hole but also can see the approach shots to the par-five ninth and 18th holes. Haime describes the Ottawa Hunt as a target golf course or, as he says, “a second shot golf course.” While the greens are not small, there are small landing areas within the greens and so the golfers who are hitting their irons well and can control the spin on their approach shots will score well. He says that the Ottawa Hunt will not be an overly intimating course for these LPGA pros and will provide a lot of birdie opportunities for them. He predicts that these lady golfers are going to impress golf fans with their scoring, saying the winning score could be 20 under par. But he acknowledges that as happens with every tour level event, weather and pin positions can really affect scoring. “No matter what, though, I’m expecting a few really low rounds,” Haime says. “The course just isn’t long enough to stop all the world’s best women golfers.” Haime acknowledges that the big story of the week will be the play of Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls who is one of the top golfers on today’s LPGA tour. “I’m expecting a pretty exciting week for Brooke,” he says, calling her a special athlete who responds well to pressure, something that will be needed as he says that things will be kind of crazy around her at the tournament, with huge crowds no doubt following her on the course. Haime recommends attending the
tournament for any golf fans. Indeed, he himself will be there on site as he is doing radio reports from the Hunt on the Thursday and Friday of the tournament. This is not an unfamiliar role for him as he has hosted a live call-in radio show “Tee It Up” on TSN 1200 radio for 20 years, providing golf instruction and covering golf news. Haime, who attended the University of Illinois on a golf scholarship in the 1980’s, has been instructing golf for 26 years now. In 2007 the PGA of Canada recognized him for his outstanding contribution to the game of golf. He operates the Kevin Haime Golf Centre and the Kevin Haime Golf School at 560 Hazeldean Road adjacent to the Carp River between Kanata and Stittsville. The 2017 CP Women’s Open will be played at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club during the week of Aug. 21 to Aug. 27. This will be the third time that this championship tournament will be hosted at the Ottawa Hunt, with the tournament held there previously in 1994 and 2008. The Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club has hosted a number of notable championships during its 107 year history including the 1994 Du Maurier Ltd. Classic, the 2008 Canadian Women’s Open, the 1932 Canadian Open and three Canadian Amateur Championships in 1937, 1960 and 1970. The course was originally crafted by renowned golf architect Willie Park and was redesigned in 2013-2014 by international golf course designer Dr. Michael Hurdzan.
“It’s a huge balance and that’s something I really learned about this year is time management, and still focus on what’s important,” she said. “At the end of the day, if I don’t golf well then nothing else matters. I’m still trying to give my fans, and my sponsors as much attention as I can and still try to focus on my game and move that world ranking up from number three a little

The Canadian Aviation and Space museum was the place to be during the 2017solar eclipse. Thousands of people made the trek to the east
end museum on Aug. 21 to check out the eclipse as the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada had 2,000 solar eclipse glasses available. The museum reported that within the first hour of handing them out all the glasses were gone.
Although glasses were at a minimum, it did not stop the crowds from coming and checking out the eclipse, which in Ottawa offered a maximum eclipse – when the moon is closest to the centre of the sun, casting a shadow on parts of the earth – at 2:35 p.m. In total, spokesperson for the museum, Zoë Lomer said the museum estimated 5,000 visitors attended the event from noon to 4 p.m. “The Canada Aviation and Space Museum is thrilled with the interest shown in this incredible celestial event, and hope that it inspires more young astronomers, space engineers, and innovators,” Lomer said. Total strangers made friends at the event, including three ladies who came out on their own – Mary Edwards from Blackburn Hamlet, Clo Keklikian from Sandy Hill and Cindy Marshall from Stittsville met each other over their joy of watching the eclipse. With the safety of a pair of glasses in their hands, they gazed at the sun in awe. “It looks amazing,” Marshall said.
The ladies said they couldn’t believe the crowds, but understood the interest in the event. The camaraderie at the event was palpable with anyone who had a pair of glasses sharing with complete strangers just so everyone could get a glimpse of the eclipse. The Astronomical Society’s members had a number of high-powered telescopes set up for people to look through – which resulted in long lines, but many said it was worth the wait. “It’s really cool,” 10-yearold Gloria Chunga said after she had her chance to look through. Michel Leblanc and his two boys rode their bikes to the event from Orléans and he said it was amazing to come out and see the eclipse. “It’s like looking at a picture,” Leblanc said, adding he was glad he and the boys made the ride. Since there wasn’t a total solar eclipse in Ottawa, NASA offered a live feed and eclipse photos on its website nasa.gov. The next total solar eclipse will be in 2024 according to NASA.

Wasn’t that a party! W
e had so much fun at our farm wedding ten years ago that we have repeated the outdoor celebration each year since. This year the Farmer announced that he quits. He no longer wants to go to all that effort for one night of partying. “I’m getting too old for this. It’s been ten years!” he declared. “But it’s your tenth anniversary!” said Paulina, who has always been the biggest fan of the farm party. It also falls on the same week as her birthday each year — and she does love to dance under the stars. After a bit of discussion, I decided to let the kids plan the party, one last time. And then I tried really hard not to do any of the work myself. The Farmer was a little more successful in that area. The night before the party, a keg arrived. We have never had beer on draft at our party before and it was certainly taking things up a notch, with former bartenders as the party organizers. During set up of said beer keg, however, a tiny black washer ring fell and disappeared through the wooden floorboards of the porch. We couldn’t hook up the keg without it. The Farmer went to the shed to find a suitable substitute, but failed. The owner of the “kegerator” said he would go home and get a new one. Everyone groaned. It was the end of a long day, we were all hot and tired and in need of a cold beer. Farmwife to the rescue. I limbo’d and squatted my way around the house under the porch and miraculously found the washer ring lying in a nest of vines. “That’s why he married young,” I joked, as my knees creaked. The tent had also arrived the night before the party, but perhaps just to make us nervous, the party organizers decided to leave it until the day of the party and go out with friends instead. The Farmer shook his head. The day of the party, I had to be away from home until about 3 in the afternoon. I received a few texts during the time I was away, about the location of different items, so I knew the ‘kids’ were busy setting up the big event. On the drive home I was pleasantly surprised to see road signs en route declaring “Fisher Farm Party This Way!” because I was imagining a last minute scramble to get things done.
DIANA FISHER
The Project
The Accidental Farmwife
As part of planning for Stage 2 of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) program, an opportunity has been identified to extend LRT from the current planned western terminus of the Confederation Line (Bayshore Station) approximately 2.5 km further west to Moodie Drive, with one station located east of Moodie Drive at Corkstown Road and a Light Maintenance and Storage Facility in the northwest quadrant of Moodie Drive and Corkstown Road.
I arrived home to a complete party scene. Paper lanterns lined the driveway. A long dining tent was set up on the front lawn over tables set with linens and candles. Next to that was a circle of lawn chairs around a fire pit. Club music was coming from the barn, which had been set up like a stage with lighting, speakers and equipment. The kids had successfully organized their own farm party. The Farmer had successfully spent the better part of the afternoon watching Twelve O’Clock High in the living room. Every year we get a few surprise guests and this year was no exception. It was great to see an old friend who had moved away in Grade 6 and another whom I had been keeping in touch with on Facebook for several years. Local musician George Buys played and sang as the sun set on an absolutely perfect evening and the Farmer grilled up three dozen burgers and sausages. The dining room table groaned with salads and snacks and our resident baker, Amy, brought cupcakes. I also had an ice cream cake for Paulina’s birthday but had left it to thaw on the table in the basement. When I finally remembered it, I discovered the cats were having a party of their own, in the puddles of melted ice cream that were dripping off the table onto the cement floor. Paulina said the melted cake made a perfect lunch treat after party cleanup the next day. I don’t think the Farmer and I will be hosting another farm party in honour of our wedding anniversary. It’s been ten years and it’s time to pass the torch on to the next generation. Next year we will be hosting a wedding reception for Paulina and Carey. The year after that, perhaps another wedding or engagement party, or a baby shower … it may be the end of the annual farm party, but I’m sure our home will be the venue for many more family celebrations to come. www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com
Dunrobin Meat and Grocery tourney SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
This Saturday, Aug. 26 is the date for the annual Dunrobin Meat and Grocery golf tournament this year. This 14th annual tournament is being held in support of the Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre in loving memory of Jean Laughlin. The tournament will feature an 11 a.m. shotgun start at the Irish Hills Golf and Country Club on Carp Road in West Carleton. The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre at the General Campus is the only cancer centre in the region that delivers all aspects of treatment options. More than 80 per cent of all cancer-related surgeries takes place at the Ottawa Hospital. The hospital also offers chemotherapy to patients at satellite locations, providing critical care conveniently close to the patient’s home. The satellite sites are in the Irving Greenberg
Notice of Commencement Bayshore to Moodie Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Conversion to Light Rail Transit (LRT) Transit Project Assessment Process
Family Cancer Centre at the Queensway Carleton Hospital, at the Winchester District Memorial Hospital, at the Renfrew Victoria Hospital and at the Hawkesbury and District General Hospital. The Ottawa Hospital sees over 200,000 cancer visits a year. The diagnosis and treatment of cancer can be very difficult for those affected and their families. The Psychosocial Oncology Program at the Ottawa Hospital was established to provide patients with the support needed to help them cope with the many challenges associated with cancer and its treatment. The approach to care is holistic and aims to provide a patient with emotional, psychological, social, practical and rehabilitation support. The services are confidential and can be provided individually or in a group setting.
The rationale for extending LRT beyond the previously identified terminus at Bayshore is to: • Provide an LRT station in closer proximity to a large employment node (Department of National Defence complex) • Support a Maintenance and Storage Facility for the operation of the Confederation Line East and West extensions in the west with optimized operational and cost benefits. The alignment for the proposed LRT extension has been previously approved as part of the West Transitway Extension Bayshore Station to Moodie Drive project, and is currently under construction as a BRT facility, with revenue operation expected to commence in late 2017. The Process Planning efforts have been completed and this project will be assessed according to the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08. As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report will be prepared by the proponent, the City of Ottawa, to document the study process, the environmental conditions, alternatives considered, the planned project, anticipated environmental impacts, appropriate mitigation and the project’s consultation program. During the Notice of Commencement phase of the environmental assessment, copies of the project studies and consultation information will be available to provide interested parties time to review and provide feedback prior to the formal 30-day public review period following the posting of the Notice of Completion. Consultation Interested persons are invited to review the work completed to date during the planning phase including a study summary, previous consultation efforts and reports presented to City Council, which are available on the Stage 2 website. Given the timing and the requirement to incorporate this section into the Stage 2 Request for Proposals process, it is anticipated that the City will issue the Notice of Completion in early September 2017 (which is within the maximum 120-day period in the TPAP Regulation). Notification will be provided in advance of the formal 30-day public review period. Further information on the TPAP is available at: Ontario.ca/document/guide-environmental-assessmentrequirements-transit-projects To Submit Comments If you have project-related questions or comments, or have any accessibility requirements in order to participate in this project, please contact the Project Manager on behalf of the proponent, the City of Ottawa: Mike Schmidt Planner II O-Train Planning 180 Elgin St, Suite 601 Ottawa, Ontario, K2P 2K3 www.stage2lrt.ca Email: stage2@ottawa.ca Comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record as per the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA).

CITY OF OTTAWA NOTICE OF APPLICATION OF AN OFFICIAL PLAN AND ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT In accordance with Sections 22(6.4)(a) and 34(10.7)(a) of the Planning Act, notice is hereby provided that an Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department at the City of Ottawa. LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment proposal affects the 21-acre site at the addresses of 930 Carling Avenue and 520 Preston Street. The site is bound by Carling Avenue to the north, Prince of Wales Drive to the east, and is loosely bound by the National Capital Commission Scenic Driveway to the south and Maple Drive to the east. The O Train line bisects the eastern part of the site. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT The Official Plan Amendment has been initiated in order to accommodate the development on the site of a new campus for the Ottawa Civic Hospital. Currently, a five-acre portion of the subject lands are designated by the City’s Official Plan as ‘Agricultural Research Area.’ An Official Plan amendment is required to re-designate the lands from ‘Agricultural Research Area’ to ‘General Urban Area’ and to remove the site from the boundary of the Central Experimental Farm on Schedule B of the Official Plan. An accompanying Zoning By-law amendment has been initiated to align the zoning of the subject site with the development of a new campus for The Ottawa Hospital. FURTHER INFORMATION To view the application or any information or materials related to the application, please contact the undersigned planner, or go to Ottawa.ca/devapps and input the File Number D01-01-17-0016 or D02-02-17-0075 in the “Search” criteria, to access any related plans, studies or reports.

The historical society is currently planning its events and meetings during the coming 20172018 year.

Gas coming to Dunrobin Shores
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH
The City of Ottawa would like to receive any comments concerning this proposal. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail by September 15, 2017. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal.
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
If you wish to be notified of the decision of Council on the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments you must make a written request to the City of Ottawa.
The city is going to piggyback on a new $100-million provincial natural gas grant program in helping to bring natural gas infrastructure to the Dunrobin Shores area of West Carleton. A motion by Osgoode Coun. George Darouze and seconded by West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry at the July 12 Ottawa city council meeting will see the city waive property taxes on new natural gas infrastructure that is to be built to supply natural gas to the Dunrobin Shores area in West Carleton.
If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed Official Plan amendment is adopted, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments are adopted, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

resident genealogist in attendance. Last June, historical society members and friends from the community toured the Tomlinson Recycling Plant on Carp Road at Richardson Sideroad. Those attending enjoyed coffee, doughnuts and a safety talk before touring the facility. This material recovery facility recycles construction and demolition materials as well as brush, wood, steel, cardboard, aluminum and even concrete. A system of conveyor belts, magnets and screens of varying sizes are used to process the material. There are currently anywhere from 18 to 30 staff on hand at the facility on any given day. The material to be recycled comes from eastern Ontario and western Quebec.
The motion also covered a similar waving of property taxes for new natural gas infrastructure to serve the Carleton Mushroom Farms and Stanley’s Olde Maple Lane farm, both in Osgoode ward. The tax revenue would be waved for a decade. Enbridge has been working with rural councillors to identify projects that may qualify for funding through the provincial grant program, the motion reads. The Natural Gas Grant program began accepting applications in spring 2017. Switching from oil to natural gas under this program can save an average consumer an
estimated $1,100 annually, according to a press release from the Government of Ontario released earlier this year. "The Natural Gas Grant program will improve access, affordability and choice for people living in rural and Northern Ontario,” Lyn n Dollin, president, Association of Municipalities of Ontario, wrote in the release. “We welcome this approach, and look forward to seeing the positive impacts this program will have across the province." The initiative is being done through the Ontario Ministry of Infrastructure and is part of the Moving Ontario Forward Plan.

OSEG sets up new charitable foundation BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
There is a new charity in town for sports fans. The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG) has made the first step in creating the OSEG Charitable Foundation — finding the right person to take charge. On July 17 the organization announced Janice Barresi would take on the role of executive director for the new foundation, which aims to officially launch in the fall. “For OSEG, giving back has never not been an option,” Barresi said. As a parent who has spent a number of her years around sports fields and facilities, and a huge Redblacks fan — Barresi called this job a dream come true. Barresi’s role in the next month or so will be to define the foundation’s goals, budget and outreach potential. Roger Greenberg, OSEG’s executive chair and managing partner, said Barresi, who has previous experience creating the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa Foundation as well as has served as the executive director of Christie Lake Kids, is one of Ottawa’s best known and most experienced fundraisers. “Her passion for developing and leading campaigns to improve lives is contagious and she is known for her ability to make an excellent case for support to business leaders,” Greenberg said. “That’s a powerful combination of skills which will enable the OSEG Charitable Foundation to do great things for our community. Barresi said this foundation is really the evolution of the fundraising efforts the Ottawa 67’s have done over the years. The point, she said, is that this foundation will broaden to include all of OSEG’s teams. “There is a fantastic community hub to give back,” Barresi said, adding with the ownership, players and the fanbase backing this foundation, she believes it cannot fail. Last year, Barresi said the players from OSEG’s teams contributed more than 7,000 hours of community service, events and engagements. Barresi said she sees that number continuing to grow, adding former Redblacks player Henry Burris has committed to being involved. The charitable foundation is still hashing out many of the details — the fundraising opportunities, activities and events it will host, and its fundraising goals — but one thing is certain, this foundation will focus on helping support amateur youth sport initiatives throughout Ottawa

and the Gatineau region and increase youth participation in sport, Barresi said. What that will involve is still a work in progress, but she said she believes the focus will be on community-based sporting groups and organizations. “We will look at the fact that there are limited facilities, limited funding — we are going to try to work on helping meet the demand and gaps in the communities,” Barresi said. The budget for the foundation, she said, will evolve as the needs in the community are
defined. “Really work with teams in need. Right now we can dream big,” The plan is to have all these details figured out by the fall, when the foundation will launch. The foundation is not concerned of donor-fatigue or an over-saturation of charities in this city. “Every charity meets a need,” she said. “The Ottawa community is generous and always rises to the occasion. This charity will

I incorporate now, or start as a sole proprietorship and delay incorporation to a later date?
The advisability of incorporation is dependent on the particular facts and personal preferences of the entrepreneur. The role of the lawyer and other professional advisors is to help draw out the relevant facts and explore personal preferences to assist the entrepreneur in making the decision that is right for her. Some of the relevant factors include: Risk. Is the proposed business inherently risky? The shield of limited liability that an incorporated entity provides to the entrepreneur is an important benefit (note that the shield from liability may not be absolute); Tax. A valuable attribute of an incorporated entity is the relatively low tax rate (approx. 16%) payable on the first $500,000 of net income. This allows a profitable incorporated entity to grow much quicker using internally generated working capital than a similarly situated sole proprietorship where the marginal tax rates of the owner are payable. An exception is where the sole proprietor has other sources of income and it is anticipated that the new

differentiate ourselves from others because of our area of youth in sports focus.” Barresi said she also sees the foundation collaborating with other charities when it can. There is a bit of a time crunch to capitalize on fundraising opportunities on upcoming events taking place at Lansdowne — the Grey Cup and the 2017 Scotiabank NHL 100 classic hockey game. “There is a ton of opportunity here,” Barresi said.
Robert Allan obtained his Bachelor of Commerce Degree (Honours) from Carleton University in 1983. He was awarded his law degree from Osgoode Hall in 1986 and was called to the bar in 1988.

His primary focus is business enablement and transactions, and wealth preservation.

Incorporation of the business before it is up and running is less expensive than incorporation of an existing business. Once the business (sole proprietorship) is up and running it is generally necessary to use a “rollover” transaction to transfer the business from the sole proprietorship to the corporation to avoid an additional level of taxation. Separate Existence. An incorporated entity has a legal existence separate and apart from the entrepreneur. This provides for a number of real and perceived benefits including (generally): broader alternatives for raising capital; easier salability of the business and possible availability of lifetime capital gains exemption to avoid tax on sale, continuous existence past the life of the entrepreneur, public perception of greater substance, and easier separation of personal and business dealings.

Archaeologists uncover new foundation at Pinhey’s Point BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
A new piece of history was uncovered at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site. Archaeologists spent the Aug. 18-20 weekend digging at the city-owned heritage manor and ruins and their hard work paid off — they uncovered a foundation wall, which is believed to be for a stable once constructed on the property near Dunrobin. The wall was in pristine condition, said lead archeologist and Pinhey’s Point Foundation board member Ian Badgley. “More research needs to be done, but this is a good start,” Badgley said, adding that the organization had an idea something like a stable’s foundation was there, but had no idea how well it would be preserved. The dig was organized by Pinhey’s Point Foundation as an annual event to celebrate Archaeology Month in Ottawa. The purpose of the dig for Badgley, an archeologist with the National Capital Commission as well as a research professor with Carleton University, was to not only to have a better idea of what was lying under the surface but also to educate the public on the importance of archeology. The dig was open to the public for wannabe archaeologists to help dig, but Badgley said not many helpers came out. Although throughout the weekend Badgley said there were a number of visitors who stopped by to ask questions, which he said is part of the goal, but overall he would have liked to see more volunteers come out. “This story is evolving and we like it when people come out to learn about it,” Badgley said.

From left, Daphne Snelgrove, Juanita Snelgrove - descendants of the historic Pinhey family - join archaeologists Ian Badgley and Katherine Davidson at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site on Aug. 20 during an archaeological dig that took place from Aug. 18-20. See more photos on page 34. Aside from the stable wall, the group also uncovered a number of artifacts; nails, bits of steal, and one item that looked like a porcelain doll’s leg. All these artifacts, said archeology student Katherine Davidson will be tagged and further studied and identified. “These pieces are part of the whole story,” Davidson
said. The dig originally started because of an existing crumbling wall to the left of where the stable foundation was found. Badgley said in order to understand what lay beneath the crumbling wall, they needed to see what was nearby. Finding what they believe to be the stable’s foundation wall was a happy surprise.
“It means it will take longer to get to the wall, maybe in the future we will get around to the wall — we have to eventually,” Badgley said. During Aug. 20 digging day, the group had a special visitor — Juanita Snelgrove, a descendant of the historic Pinhey family to see how the dig was going. Snelgrove, who recently
turned 101 years old, observed some of the artifacts that were found and even checked out the remains of the stable’s foundation. Badgley and Davidson said having Snelgrove to fact check the artifacts they have found, or other aspects of Pinhey’s Point history is essential to their work. In order to find out more
about the ruins, Badgley said he would like to host another public dig in the fall to further excavate the area and learn more about the stable and foundation. No plans have been made yet, but Badgley encouraged residents to check out the foundation’s website for event listings about a potential dig at pinheyspoint.ca.

Shakespeare at the Herb Garden Karen McCrimmon Thanks to ‘A Company of Fools’ SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
The Herb Garden became a Shakespearean theatre Wednesday evening, Aug. 16. That’s when Ottawa’s A Company of Fools professional Shakespeare company presented the Shakespearean comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream in a grassy setting behind the log barns and buildings of the Herb Garden on Old Almonte Road near Dwyer Hill Road in West Carleton. About 300 showed up to enjoy the play presented outdoors on the warm, sunny evening, with audience members sitting in the lawn chairs which they brought along with them to the performance. The performers acted before a stationary backdrop, with many of the performers entering and exiting the performance area via an aisle through the centre of the audience. The play itself was Shakespearean in language and outlook but very much Victorian and modern in appearance. Director Mary Ellis and costume designer Vanessa Imeson had decided on a Victorian/modern costume theme for the play. That’s because the play, while a comedy, is basically about love’s passion, joy, thrill and certainty that it will conquer all. And love in the Victorian era had some similarities to situations presented in the play. Victorian society tried to dictate who a person should love, much like the situation in the play where Hermia and Lysander flee into the woods after Hermia is told she must wed Demetrius. In addition, Victorians had an intense interest in the supernatural and the spirit world and the play is filled with magic and the world of fairies. This play A Midsummer Night’s Dream was the play offered by A Company of Fools in its Torchlight Shakespeare Series this year. This Torchlight Shakespeare Series has A Company of Fools presenting a 90-minute version of the play at performances across the city throughout the summer, mostly at parks. This was the 15th year for the Torchlight Shakespeare Series. A Midsummer Night’s Dream starts as Hermia refuses to bow to her father’s wish that she marry Demetrius since she is in love with Lysander. She is told to marry Demetrius or face life in a convent or death. Hermia and Lysander
flee into the forest. In the forest, there is lots of turmoil between lovers and there’s the presence of the juice from a magical flower which, when sprinkled over a sleeping person’s eyelids, can make that person fall in love with the first thing that he or she sees upon waking. Eventually things are worked out, with three pairs of lovers reconciled,
thanks in part to the juice from the magical flower. The cast of eight actors — Leslie Cserepy, Sarah Finn, Tamara Freeman, Catriona Leger, Geoff McBride, Andrew Moore, Mitchel Rose and Mahalia Golnosh Tahririha — all play multiple roles. See PLAY, page 42

Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton
Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Community Events The summer offers a lot of opportunities to get out and spend time with the community. I was able to attend some events recently around Kanata-Carleton, including the CBBCA Family Fun Day, Kanata Farmers’ Market, and the 18th Annual Garlic Festival. Family Fun Day in Constance Bay had a tasty BBQ, games for the whole family, prizes, and more. The Kanata Farmers’ Market always offers a variety of fresh produce and is a great way to support local farmers. The Garlic Festival, hosted on the Carp Fairgrounds, offered tastings, cooking and braiding demonstrations, and decorations.
Festival of India The opening ceremony for the Festival of India was an introduction to the incredible music, dance, food, and workshops that were offered throughout the weekend. I had the opportunity to speak on behalf of the Prime Minister with MP Anita Vandenbeld at the ceremony and enjoy some of the many activities. Thank you to the hardworking organizing team and volunteers for this great presentation of Indian culture.
Canadian Peacekeepers Association I was honoured to be the Government representative at the Canadian Association of UN Peacekeeper’s Day ceremony and to deliver remarks, paying my respects to Peacekeepers and the critical importance of their role. I had the opportunity to sign a book of remembrance and spoke to the members in attendance. It is important to reflect on the dedication that the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces display overseas in UN, NATO, and other multinational task forces. Their sacrifices and those of their families will not be forgotten.
Canada Pakistan Association The Canada Pakistan Association recently hosted a picnic to celebrate Pakistan Day. There were fun games for kids, a quiz competition with prizes, a live cricket match, and a BBQ for everyone. It was great to share in the festivities and to learn more about the Pakistani community in the Ottawa region.
Food Policy Online Survey There is still time to have your say in Canada’s upcoming Food Policy! I am looking for individuals to share their priorities and get their perspective on what areas the government should focus on when creating the new food policy.

Bryan Murray By Scott Campbell Bryan Murray is my uncle. I sat down to interview him at his summer cottage - found just outside of Ladysmith, Quebec - on August 1. Looking back, it is an honour to have done it. I thank Uncle Bryan, Aunt Geri, cousins Heide, Emma and Addie (the three were visiting at the time), for allowing me this snapshot of time. Bryan Murray has a lifetime of hockey memories making for many stories that could fill plenty of pages. The Washington Capitals hired the Shawville native as head coach in 1981, marking the start of a career in the NHL, which spans five teams. Since those early games, he’s seen the game of hockey change dramatically. “First of all, the toughness in the game is not what it was,” he said. “I think the rule changes with the red line gone and the tag-up rule, and things like that make the game appear faster. It is faster. I think the skill level of the kids today is better overall, and that goes along with being faster. The game is changed, and probably for the most part has changed for the better.”
SHAWVILLE KID
Murray’s story begins in the small Ottawa Valley town of Shawville, Quebec. Bryan is one of 10 children of Rhoda and Clarence Murray, a brother to Laird, Barrie, Darleen, Terry, Bill, Laurie, Lorraine, Karen and Kim. Clarence built the Murray home on King Street in Shawville in the late 1940s. He did most of the work on his own. Until Rhoda’s passing in 2013, it remained in the family.
The Murray clan didn’t live in the house right away. Clarence needed the rent money so everybody moved out to the farm outside of Shawville in Yarm. “I think we were all glad to get back at Shawville at some point,” said Murray. “But I think when we went through that life on the farm there were a lot of great memories of that too.” “I don’t know how mom and dad did it, honestly. We had the benefit of good guidance and parents that made sure we had enough. We never had too much, but we always had enough. They expected discipline and decent behaviour. I think it shows that we’ve all grown up to be pretty reasonable people. When you look back on it, so many great memories and so much fun, I think the closeness of most of us in the family is because of it. “It was a full house, no question. Mom somehow, some ability, whether we were out playing hockey, or out playing baseball, or just coming home from school, she had a meal on the table.” For kids growing up in Shawville, a lot of them chose hockey and baseball to play. Murray played a lot of baseball – senior level to the Upper Ottawa Valley League. The home games actually took place on the fairgrounds, not at the R.A field like now. Teams from Quyon, Campbell’s Bay, Vinton, Fort Coulonge, Sheenboro, Otter Lake, Pembroke, Petawawa and Chalk River provided the competition. There was a lot of hockey too. Murray was skilled enough to play with the seniors when he was 14 or 15 years old. He played against Royce Richardson and others who were twice his age.
36 West Carleton Review - Thursday, August 24, 2017
“It wasn’t hard to fall in love with hockey. Like a lot of guys around here, I was pretty good at it. Everybody played hockey and that was our outlet,” said Murray. He even drew the attention of one of the NHL expansion teams, the Philadelphia Flyers. “I was playing senior hockey for Shawville in Smiths Falls one night. They watched me before they told me … I scored six goals in the game, which I did a few times in college. They called me the next day and offered me to go to their farm team. I said OK … $20,000. They said Gordie Howe makes $20,000, you can’t make $20,000. That’s what the salaries were.”
PONTIAC HOUSE
Before the call of the NHL came, Murray was a school teacher. When Pontiac Protestant High School first opened, in his eyes, it felt like 600 kids were walking the halls. He helped open Murray’s sporting goods store with brother, Bill. (Bill and his family ran the business for over 40 years.) They built a new building and brother, Barrie, moved in. Murray also bought Pontiac House in 1979. “I went to talk to the owner and the price was right.” Sister Darleen and her husband at the time and Murray’s wife Geri joined in running the business. They sold a pint of beer and a pack of cigarettes for 25 cents and a quart of beer for * 55 cents. It was a time when the tavern catered exclusively to men. Murray remembers Saturday nights and some Fridays in Shawville when all the farmers came into town and people could hardly find a parking spot on the street. “We didn’t rent rooms at the Pontiac House, but we had food, alcohol and bands on the weekend. The place was packed. There was a beautiful dining room and lounge. We had family come in and help us in the kitchen like Lorraine and mom. They helped us a lot. Friday night and Saturdays there would be 100 men in the tavern.” Pontiac House eventually succumbed to a fire and Hursty’s restaurant now resides in the location. Murray coached teams such as the Rockland Nationals and Pembroke Lumber Kings during this businessman period. Then he received an offer from the Western Hockey League Regina Pats to coach there. He told his wife, Geri, he wanted to go out west for one year to say he did it. Regina won the championship, paving the way for his career in the NHL. What if the Washington Capitals had never called? “I probably would have been a businessman in Shawville and maybe taught a little longer,” said Murray. “I would have been a Shawville guy, I think at that stage. I would have been involved in hockey but I don’t think I would have been running out of town a lot. That’s life, you never know.” “I thought I was a good coach, thought I could make part of a living from coaching.”
“I don’t get tired talking about home.” - Bryan Murray
LIFE IN THE NHL
how he treats people and is he a good guy, does he have a chance to be a committed hockey player? I think you evaluate all of that, but I think the bottom line is you try to draft good players and talent. You have to draft certain types and it takes a lot of work and good scouts. If you get three out of seven players to play pro hockey for you, you had a good year.”
General manager David Poile was hired during Murray’s second season, and he made some trades that stimulated fan interest.
Erik Karlsson, Zack Smith, Mark Borowiecki, Chris Wideman, Mike Hoffman, Mark Stone and Jean-Gabriel Pageau are a few - not all - of the notable draft picks made by Murray with the Senators.
Washington was a struggling team when Murray stepped in as head coach. The team had not made the playoffs in eight years. He stayed behind the bench with the Capitals for seven full seasons and earned the Jack Adams Trophy in 1984, as NHL coach of the year.
“It gave the players a sense that we were trying to get better,” said Murray. “We had some great runs like in Game 7 against the Islanders and Pat Lafontaine scored. There’s Game 7 against the Philadelphia Flyers and Dale Hunter scored for us. Fan interest was quite high at that time and it got better. It’s (now a) good hockey hotbed.” The Game 7 against the Islanders is known as the ‘Easter Epic’ in NHL history. The match took four overtime periods to decide and finished in the early hours of Easter Sunday. In 1988, the Capitals were down 3-1 in the playoff series and managed to fight back to force a Game 7 against Philadelphia. The contest went into overtime before Hunter tallied the winner for Washington. Murray next headed to the Detroit Red Wings. It wasn’t smooth sailing, as it was evident on his arrival that the team faced player issues. “I got the chance to go in and help fix that. We had some runs in Detroit. I was only there for four years, but we had a lot of kids, and we knew we were going (to) be really good.” Next up was the Florida Panthers, which managed a trip to the Stanley Cup Final in their third year. Murray helped craft the team for that unexpected run. He remained in Florida until 2000 and then moved on to Anaheim. “In Anaheim, we went from a nothing organization where nobody cared, to drafting (players) really well,” he said. “Tim (Murray) was a big part of that. We drafted Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf. We went to the Stanley Cup Final (in 2003) when I hired (former Wing, now Leaf coach) Mike Babcock. We went to Game 7 against New Jersey and lost in New Jersey.” Murray arrived in Ottawa in 2004, but missed an entire season because of the lockout. Murray is still the only modern Senators coach who took the team to a Stanley Cup Final. That 2007 run, he considers a major highlight. The 2016-2017 season was also a memorable one for the Ottawa Senators and Murray. There was plenty of excitement and surprises that didn’t end until the Game 7 double overtime loss to the eventual repeat Stanley Cup champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins, in the eastern final. “Obviously, starting off we weren’t predicted to be a contending hockey team,” said Murray. “But I thought as the year went on we got better. There were a lot of tough games and then making the playoffs and the excitement of winning a couple (of) rounds. The opportunity with Game 7 to move on to the Stanley Cup final, has to be marked as a very good season.” As a general manager, Murray has kickstarted a lot of players’ careers by drafting them. “There have been some surprises and some real disappointments. I think you try to find out is the character of the person. What he behaves like in school, around his parents,
HOME
The old Shawville arena was owned by Ebert Richardson for a period of time. The building, which no longer exists, became known as Richardson’s Rink. Once in a while, a gang would sneak in through the windows for the chance to play indoor hockey. “It was a smaller ice surface,” said Murray. “What that meant was that you had to have skill, you had to be able to control the puck. When I coached - when Boston had the Boston Garden - players had to have the skill because they had to take short passes and quick plays, because people were all over you. You had no room to operate. I always thought the games were better because of that. “Richardson’s Rink was natural ice, small dressing rooms, and a furnace in the rooms to keep you warm and that was it. There was no Zamboni then; most of the time (it was flooded) by a hose. “But Shawville was a great place to grow up,” he said. “Mom cared so much about everything that went on in the family. Dad was in Ottawa working; he probably wasn’t involved early in our life as he could be because of work.” Murray always found time in his off-season to return to summer at the cottage with wife Geri and daughters Heide and Brittany. Son-in-law Don and granddaughters Emma and Addie have spent time there, along with many family and friends. Forty-six years ago, Murray bought the land for $1,800. “People thought I was crazy,” he said. “I’m glad I did it. There was no electricity and no water. We had this big pine tree. We put the drum up in the pine tree, had a motor with a hose. I would go down to start the motor. Geri would wait [until it] started to flood over and I would turn the motor off. That way we would flush toilets. Then we had coal oil lamps and that’s how we started. We were like that for four, five years and then we added power and we grew from that.” Murray’s NHL career took him away from the Shawville area for most the year. In the beginning, teams even travelled on commercial airlines. They flew along with everybody else. Now, it’s a world of difference with teams having their own planes and first class service. The biggest change of all is they can come and go, whenever they want. Yet, no matter how much hockey business there was to do and how far he roamed, Shawville and the Pontiac never seemed to be too far from Murray’s mind. “I don’t get tired talking about home.”

When relatives came to visit
M
other never seemed to be concerned about the number of people who would descend on our farm to spend the weekend. Goodness knows there wasn’t much sleeping room, with only four beds in the whole house to put down the seven of us in our own family! It wasn’t unusual for three or four carloads of relations to arrive at the same time, and Mother greeted them with open arms, and as suitcase after suitcase was unloaded, you didn’t have to be the sharpest knife in the drawer to know they planned on staying overnight! This onslaught of
visitors usually came when Mother’s brother, Uncle Lou, was arriving from New York. Father would say it was like someone had sent out a carrier pigeon with the news to our relatives in Montreal, Ottawa, and sometimes even as far away as St. Catharines, that Uncle Lou was coming, and that was all it took. Aunt Vanetta, Uncle Johnny, Aunt Lil, Uncle Dick, and my cousin Richard would be the first to arrive from Ottawa, and always they brought dinner rolls, a store-bought cake from the bakery and bags of oranges and bananas. Aunt Vanetta came wearing a fancy hat, and it never left her head,

except when she sat down for a meal. As aunts, uncles and cousins arrived I would wonder where everyone was going to sleep. But that seemed to be the least of Mother’s worries. We younger ones would be bedded down crossways in a bed. sometimes as many as five or six of us, and of course, Aunt Vanetta and Uncle Johnny got Mother and Father’s bed, being
the most senior of the visitors. Meals were served right from the stove, everyone loading his plate, and heading for a chair either inside, or out in the grape arbour. And the old Findlay Oval fair jumped all weekend, with the oven full of roasts or chickens, and with potatoes and vegetables cooked in the preserving kettles instead of the pots we usually used. Once the supper meal was cleared away, the real festivities began. Mother, Grandfather and Mother’s brothers, sang at the top of their lungs, and to me it sounded just like a choir coming off the movie screen I once saw in the O’Brien theatre in Renfrew. And as the evening wore on, they were spurred on by the tumblers of homemade brew Father

brought up from the cellar. Where they came from, I had no idea, but sometime during the early evening, my brother Everett would go outside with the older cousins, and put up two large tents. There were no cots or beds inside, but feather covers and quilts would be used for mattresses, and sometime during the night, the overflow would wander out, find a spot to lie down, and settle in for a few hours sleep. The next day, the party would start all over again. To me, having car loads of relatives come for a weekend, was even better than a trip into the Renfrew fair! On Sunday, of course, Aunt Vanetta would insist on being driven into Renfrew for mass. See VISIT, page 40

LPGA golf will be ‘as good as it gets’ BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
Loch March Golf and Country Club head pro Danielle Nadon says that the 2017 LPGA Canadian Pacific Women’s Open at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club will be ladies’ professional golf “as good as it gets”. And she should know. She has not only been a golf professional for over 35 years but also served as co-chair of the CN Canadian Women’s Open in 2008 and was both a player and volunteer with the du Maurier Golf Classic events in Canada over the years, including serving as MC at the final du Maurier Classic at the Royal Ottawa Golf Club in 2000. She says that all of the top LPGA professionals will be playing in this year’s tournament, noting that the players love coming to Canada where they find the fans and the people in general so welcoming. The players will include a number of Canadians such as Lorie Kane, Alena Sharp, and Maude-Aimee Leblanc,
but also Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls who is one of the top players in the world. Nadon says that if Brooke can make a few putts and play within herself before her home crowd, she will have a chance to win. A former president of the Ottawa PGA Chapter and a student of the legendary Canadian golf pro George Knudson, Nadon says that the Ottawa Hunt course is not as long as some courses played on the LPGA Tour. However, she says that the golfers will definitely have to know where to place their tee shots on the holes in order to set up a scoring opportunity. She says that the greens at
Danielle Nadon
the Ottawa Hunt are not that small and their difficulty will depend on the pin placement. Nadon says that staying at one hole to watch the various golfers as they play through appeals to some, while following one group around the course is another good way to enjoy the tournament, depending on the size of the crowd. But if a person wants to really appreciate how these lady golf pros strike the ball, Nadon suggests visiting the practice range before or after a round. She says that it is fantastic to watch the pros hit their shots on the range, including how they address the ball and how they can curve the ball. She says that whether hitting a pitching wedge or a five iron, these pros swing the same. It is fascinating to watch, she notes. Another place that provides a window on these lady pros and their golfing ability is the putting green, which Nadon says is also a good place to spend some time watching how the pros practice their putting. The Lock March Golf and Country Club is located in West Carleton near Carp.

katydids) sing at night, cicadas sing only by day. The males produce those familiar, high-pitched whines that descend from treetops. Cicadas only sing when temperatures are hot enough to activate muscles in a pair of sound-producing organs called tymbals. The contraction of these muscles causes ribs in the tymbals to bend suddenly and snap back, not unlike the reaction that results from pressing down on a metal bottle cap and releasing it. The repetitive sounds produced by the tymbals are magnified in a large abdominal air sac. This remarkable resonator is why cicada music is the loudest sound produced by any insect. Other insects sing in very different ways. Orthopterans “stridulate” by rubbing body parts together. Many grasshoppers raise their hind leg and bring it down against the outside of a closed wing. Pegs on the inside of the femur rub against the hard wing, producing a quiet, “shuffling” sound with each downward strike. A few species make sounds in flight with their wings. Some “crepitate” by snapping their soft, inner wings open and closed like a woman’s fan. Others clap their wings together, making electric crackling sounds. Crickets and katydids produce sounds with the base of their forewings. A sharp “scraper” on the top of the lower wing is rubbed against a “file” on the bottom of the upper wing. Sounds produced this way range from the melodic chirps of crickets to the highpitched, raspy buzzes of katydids. Recently, I was in a meadow and noticed a nearby shrub slightly shake. Through my camera, I saw a green leaf start to move. It was a broad-winged bush katydid, and as I watched, its wings opened over its back and their bases began to rub together, producing a series of soft shuffling sounds. It was stridulating! Michael Runtz photo On the next warm day or night, try to track down a This male Broad-winged Bush Katydid is rubbing the singing insect. It is fascinating to watch one of these tiny bases of its wings together to create a love song to musicians send out its love song in a farewell to summer!

FLOOR PLAN August 2017
Hard to believe but we’re now into the back half of summer, 2017. Perhaps you’ve been putting off your search for that dream home but with fall just around the corner, you’ve decided it’s time to ramp things up again. There are so many factors to consider in what can seem like a confusing selection process, but we’re here to bring a little clarity to the situation. Welcome to another edition of Floor Plan 2017, a supplement in your Metroland Media community newspaper. There are so many questions to answer: would you like to live in the city, the suburbs or maybe out in the country? Of course there are the financial considerations, how much are you willing and able to spend? What type of home are you looking for, a large single family dwelling with plenty of greenspace, a bungalow, or maybe even a townhome that might require a little less maintenance? Or perhaps you’re leaning more toward a condominium in the heart of the nation’s capital? We are fortunate here in Ottawa to be home to some of this country’s top home builders. This brings a level of comfort to prospective homeowners, whether starting on a search for the first time or looking to upgrade on what they have now. Floor Plan 2017 continues to present you with key information from some of the city’s finest builders, the wide array of services they offer, as well as additional information to assist you in your new home purchasing venture. And be sure to look for more ideas in our next Floor Plan supplement on Thursday, September 21.

2 Floor Plan - Thursday, August 24, 2017
GROWING TRENDS IN TODAY’S HOMES Outdoor entertaining areas are popular among homeowners, and firepits are one of the most sought after additions to such spaces. In fact, a 2016 survey from the landscape architects found that fireplaces and firepits were the most popular outdoor design element in 2016. Various styles are available to homeowners who want to add firepits to their backyards, and choosing the right type may come down to budget, the amount of yard space available or even personal preference. • Wood firepit: As their name suggests, wood firepits burn wood, which may appeal to homeowners who already have wood-burning fireplaces inside their homes. Because they don’t require homeowners to tap into gas lines, wood firepits are generally easy to set up and install, and many homeowners prefer the aesthetic appeal of crackling wood and flames that’s synonymous with wood firepits. • Gas firepit: Gas firepits are touted for their convenience, as they don’t require homeowners to carry wood and build fires. Upon being connected to a gas source, gas firepits provide fire at the click of a switch. Gas firepits are also appreciated for their safety, as there is little or no risk that flames from gas firepits will grow too large and become difficult to control. • Gas fire tables: Gas fire tables might be ideal for those homeowners whose sense of
decor favors more modern looks. Gas fire tables come in a variety of shapes and sizes and, like gas firepits, there’s no need to struggle with lighting a fire or carrying firewood. • Tabletop firepits: Homeowners, condominium or apartment dwellers with limited backyard space may want to consider the convenience of tabletop firepits. Restaurants may use tabletop firepits in their outdoor seating areas because they provide warmth and ambiance without taking up much
space. Tabletop firepits fueled by gas will not need to be connected to a gas source, which may appeal to consumers who want something that’s simple as well as small. • Fire urns: While they might not technically qualify as firepits, fire urns provide a similar effect as firepits. Fire urns are typically gaspowered and may be an ideal choice for homeowners who are looking for a unique, aweinspiring feature for their outdoor entertaining areas.
WHAT IS A SMART HOME?
Refrigerators that inform their owners when it’s time to buy more eggs and thermostats that learn homeowners heating and cooling preferences may have once seemed like futuristic ideas straight out of a sci-fi movie.
However, such products are no longer a dream but a reality. The term “smart home” refers to a residence that has appliances, HVAC, lighting, entertainment systems, security, and many more devices that communicate with one another. Such devices can be controlled remotely, according to SmartHomeUSA, an automation product retailer. Proponents of smart home technology say features can help people save money on utilities and conserve natural resources, all the while providing peace of mind to homeowners. In 2016, 80 million smart home devices were delivered worldwide. That marks a 64 percent increase from 2015, according to the research data firm IHS Markit. The smart home trend is only expected to grow in coming years. Although there’s interest in smart home technology, the industry remains fragmented. Consumers are trying to figure out which
devices are simply fun and which provide practical benefits. Furthermore, the range of smart devices is expanding rapidly, making potential compatability issues a concern. Companies that plan to educate consumers further about the advantages of smart home features and are open to standardization may have the best chances of survival. Those interested in dabbling in some smart home technology and testing the waters may want to start with the following household items. • Smart bulbs: Manufacturers offer various types of smart light bulbs. Some are colorchanging, others react to doorbells or alarms, and others can simulate typical lighting patterns when homeowners are away. Integrated apps enable remote access to scheduling so people can arrive home to a well-lit house. • Home security: Wi-Fi enabled doorbells with
video capabilities allow residents to see who is at the door without having to open it. Cameras can even be accessed remotely, simulating that someone is at home at all times. Never wonder if you’ve locked the door again with smart locks that can be engaged via a smartphone. Make sure that homes are secured or that pets are behaving while out with smart cameras. • Flood sensor: Get peace of mind against damaging floods with Wi-Fi flood sensors. • Appliances: A new breed of smart appliances can make it possible for users to turn on the washing machine while out of the house, close refrigerator doors from afar or even start their vacuum cleaners remotely. Smart technology is taking over and is likely to continue changing the way people live and work.

Parents should talk about bullying SPECIAL
Are your children aware that bullying comes in many different forms? Would they know what to do if they crossed paths with a bully? And what about you, the parent — would you be able to recognize that your child is being wronged? In a 2014 UNICEF report entitled Hidden in Plain Sight, more than one out of three Canadian students between the ages of 13 and 15 reported having been bullied at least once in the past few months. What’s more, nearly 40 per cent Submitted of Canadians aged 11 to 15 admitted to A palm inscription “Stop” says what should be the engaging in intimidating behaviour toward approach to bullying - just stop doing it. other students.

that the majority of victims never ask for help, preferring to remain silent instead. Unfortunately, despite the growing number of awareness campaigns, it seems that bullying remains something of a taboo. As a parent, regardless of whether or not you believe he or she is being pressured at school, take the time to test your child’s knowledge on the subject. Together, consult relevant websites and flyers that touch on bullying, and explain to your child how to identify inappropriate behaviours related to discrimination, harassment, homophobia and physical or verbal abuse. Most importantly, encourage your son or daughter to seek support if
ever they witness or personally experience bullying in any shape or form. Is your child more distant than usual? Do you suspect they might be experiencing difficulties at school? Get to the root of the problem by asking specific questions: Are you afraid? Sad? Angry? If your child refuses to open up, persevere and show your support by encouraging them to seek help if necessary. Unfortunately, there’s no magic spell that can prevent bullying 100 per cent of the time. But one thing’s for sure: the only way to rise above bullying is by shedding light on its existence. The ball is now in your court!

Balancing school and work SPECIAL
Many students hold a part-time job while they’re in school. But is this is a good thing, or is it too much to handle? It seems the former is true. In fact, teens that work during their studies generally benefit from several advantages that their unemployed peers don’t share, such as financial independence, job experience and heightened responsibility. Nonetheless, maintaining a healthy work-school balance requires a hefty dose of discipline and lots of organization. The best option for students is to find a job with flexible hours that will allow them to adjust their work schedule according to their course load, and not the other way around. Students must always prioritize their studies and focus on their primary goal of getting a diploma. That being said, Andrey Popov photo a prospective part-timer should always A student working in a retail shop takes inventory, marking down the supply of items on a clipboard. advise employers of their availabilities Flexible hours are the best option for students who work while going to school. during the initial interview and turn

down any request to compromise. In other words, sacrificing a class or postponing schoolwork in favour of an employer’s needs should be out of the question. If your employer fails to understand or respect your responsibilities as a student, it’s in your best interest to apply elsewhere. So, how many hours should a student work per week? A good rule of thumb is no more than 15 if enrolled in full-time studies; otherwise students risk falling behind in school, or worse, abandoning their program altogether. All students that wish to achieve optimal work-school balance must also keep their psychological wellbeing in mind. For example, a healthy diet, plenty of sleep, regular exercise, an active social life and some well-deserved downtime are all essential for striking the right balance between school and work. Full-time students should devote no more than 15 hours a week to paid work.

Kindergarten is important step in a child’s educational journey SPECIAL
Is your child about to start kindergarten? It’s a milestone event that stays engraved in one’s memory for years to come (if not a lifetime). In fact, many adults still clearly remember their very first day of school and the mishmash of emotions that came along with this new beginning. Here are a few valuable pieces of advice to help your tiny one prepare: • Always stay positive and enthusiastic when talking to your child about starting school, and don’t forget to express how proud you are that they’ll soon be among the “big kid” ranks. • Explain how a normal school day unfolds (recess, lunchtime, after school supervision, transportation, etc.) and assure your loved one that there will always be an adult present to help. • Encourage your child to share how they’re feeling faced with this new beginning. Are they nervous? Scared? Ease their mind by letting them Submitted know that what they’re feeling is completely A youngster is all set for kindergarten, with a backpack and lots of school supplies. normal and that other kids are just as anxious.
• To help your child get accustomed to their changed schedule, initiate their new routine (going to bed early, waking up, getting dressed, eating breakfast, etc.) seven to 10 days before the start of school. • Dedicate an area of your home where your child can proudly display their drawings, crafts and other school projects. • The evening before the start of school, help your child prepare their clothes, backpack and lunchbox for the following day. • Most importantly, don’t forget to take memorable pictures to immortalize the big day when it finally arrives! Many schools organize fun activities for children entering kindergarten (classroom and schoolyard visits, meetings with teachers, etc.) to facilitate the transition. By participating in these activities with your child, you can help them get accustomed to their novel environment and soothe their anxieties about starting this new chapter in their life.

A perfect study spot for students SPECIAL
The kitchen or dining room is often an ideal homework area for younger kids. It provides ample space to spread out notes and textbooks while allowing you to remain close by to make sure things stay on track. Simply eliminating all nearby sources of distraction — like the television — does the trick! However, it’s a different story once your little ones grow out of grade school. Teenagers no longer need — or want! — strict parental supervision while doing their homework and would much rather study in more private quarters like their room. The bedroom can be a perfectly acceptable homework area, as long as your teen has access to a well-organized

workspace (neither the floor nor the bed will do). A sturdy desk, a comfortable chair and enough storage space for books and school supplies are all you need to create ideal study conditions. If your teen’s bedroom is on the smaller side, consider buying a desk that can be folded down against the wall or adding a few shelves to the dresser for storing books. Furthermore, ample lighting is essential for an efficient workspace. This includes natural light streaming in from the bedroom window as well as a desk lamp, ideally placed on the opposite side of your child’s writing hand. Think ergonomics! Finally, let your kids personalize their homework space with fun accessories.

brant trails of green and tiny bursts of gold and white. Down on my knees, and through my camera lens, I saw a miniature world of flowers dancing across the rock — the world of longliving and slow-growing lichen! Different perspective on the world The world of lichen is beautiful and fascinating but often overlooked says McMullin. Check out his Twitter feed @TroyMcMullin and you’ll see some of the remarkable forms and colours of lichens found in our own country. Issued one at a time in a series that started in early January, the images celebrate Canadian biodiversity and their names … well, you’ll see. Take #1/150, Methusaleh’s Beard Lichen, described as the original Christmas tinsel, followed by Deadman’s Fingers, #2/150. How about the whimsical-sounding Freckle pelt, and — one your kids will appreciate —#19/150 in the series, Fairy puke! You can search for the hashtags #Bioblitz150 #canada150. And count on McMullen including many great images with his upcoming Macnamara presentation although we can’t promise Fairy puke will be one! We will see rare lichens occurring
in southeastern Ontario, including the only species in the region that is federally listed as endangered — the Palebellied Frost Lichen, which is known in the Arnprior area. A self-sufficient package The product of billions of years of evolution, a lichen is a neat little selfsufficient package — a partnership of a fungus and one (or more) alga. “The alga is captured when it is young and kept alive in the fungus, the fungus completely controls and lives off the alga, it literally grows it as a garden within it,” says lichenologist Dr. Kerry Knudson in an Aeon video. “Think of it as if you were growing lettuce, but growing it within your body,” he adds. And in their food-making process, lichens convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into oxygen, which we all need to survive. Important to both animals and humans Lichens have been used for many things by both animals and humans. They provide forage, shelter and building materials for elk, deer, birds and insects and in their food-making process, lichens convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into oxygen, which we all need to survive. A key way that lichens directly benefit humans is through their ability to absorb everything in their atmosphere, especially pollutants. “Lichens are the canaries in the coal mine for environmental changes,” says McMullen. “Even subtle changes in moisture or temperature can be detected with lichens.” Who knew? Learn more about lichen including their roles in different ecosystems and how they are used in medicine, science, and space at September’s Macnamara meeting. Visitors are always welcome. Don’t miss — The secret life of Lichen When: Tuesday, Sept. 5, 7:30 p.m. Where: Arnprior Curling Club, 15 Galvin St., Arnprior Cost: Meetings (and presentations) are free for club members and $5 for Karen Runtz guests. Lava boulders covered with lichen on the now extinct Khorgo volcano Find more information on the club in Mongolia. and its activities at mfnc.ca. BY KAREN RUNTZ
Lichen are found on every continent and in places where most of us would never expect it — like Canada’s Arctic, home to an estimated 1,000 species and where local lichenologist Dr. Troy McMullin spent three weeks this summer collecting specimens. Perhaps you read the Ottawa Citizen story about the interesting encounter he and fellow biologist Paul Sokoloff had there with an Arctic wolf. No? You can ask him about that when he talks to the Macnamara Club about lichen on Sept. 5. Every lichen lives on top of something else — usually rock and soil, bark and wood, elements that are left for a long time without moving. Most are tiny and best viewed through a hand lens. I had a memorable encounter with lichen last summer and although it lacked wolves, it did involve rock, a lens and a remote location — the now extinct Khorgo volcano in the far away country of Mongolia, where I spent three weeks. The view from the summit was spectacular, but my eyes were also drawn lower to lava boulders marked by vi-

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, an exciting announcement makes it difficult to maintain your composure over the next few days, but give it your best shot. Look at it as a challenge that needs to be met.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, beneath that cool, calm and collected exterior beats the heart of someone who may be looking for adventure from time to time. Let others see your wild side this week.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you are usually quick to catch on and can easily read between the lines of a situation. Put this skill to use in an important business meeting in the coming days.
