News - Resident’s in Lowertown’s Wedge neighbourhood are upset that a developer didn’t apply for permis-sion to use a vacant lot to park con-struction trailers.

Claridge Homes has now fi led an application for a temporary rezoning

to allow it to continue to use a vacant site at 281 St. Andrew St. for its trail-ers.

In the meantime, the city has al-lowed the trailers to remain on the site, despite concerns from neigh-bours about the noise.

The trailers are being used for Clar-idge’s Water Street condo develop-ment down the road, spanning part of the block from Bruyère Street east of Rose Street and extending to St. An-drew to the south, about 100 metres away from the new development.

Honouring MandelaA choir performs the national anthems of Canada and South Africa to welcome guests to a ceremony offi cially marking the renaming of the plaza outside city hall’s heritage building as Nelson Mandela Square. Mayor Jim Watson suggested the name earlier this year to honour the late South African anti-apartheid crusader, who died last December at the age of 95. The ceremony was held on July 17, a day before what would have been Mandela’s 96th birthday.

News - Ottawa was subjected to a British invasion last week -- an at-tack mounted by a fl eet of small vin-tage sports cars.

More than 120 Morris Garages (MG) sports cars, coupes and sa-loons took over the city during the fi nal leg of this year’s North Ameri-can MGA Register’s Annual Get-To-gether. For many of the MG owners, the cruise started in Victoria on July 5 and ended up in Ottawa on July 14. Once in the capital, MG owners had a week full of activities, including a city drive, and for the fi rst time, a car show open to the public at the Cana-da Science and Technology Museum on July 16, which drew hundreds of spectators and car enthusiasts.

Organized by the Ottawa MG

Club, Andy Bounsall, chairman of the club, said creating the car show was an addition the Ottawa chap-ter thought would be a good way to include all of Ottawa in the event. Hosting the event at the Canada Sci-ence and Technology Museum, Bo-unsall said was a natural fi t.

“They have been really great, and it’s the perfect place to have the car show,” he said.

North American MGA Register’s Annual Get-together is held in a dif-ferent city each year. Last year it was held in Asheville, N.C., located more than 1,500 kilometres south of Ot-tawa, a trip Bounsall happily made in his 1956 MGA 1500. Bringing the cruise to his home town this time around, Bounsall said, is an awe-some feeling.

“Here there is a mix of the MG group and friends and family and it’s really great to have them all in one place,” he said.

Bounsall bought his MG 13 years ago on eBay with the blessing of his wife -- who later admitted to him had only said yes thinking he would be outbid by another classic car lover.

“I had drooled over them for many years and then started to look for one for myself,” he said.

Unfortunately for her, Bounsall said, his wife was wrong and he quickly drove south to New York

state to pick up his new toy. Since his purchase, Bounsall

joined the Ottawa MG Club and be-gan annual trips to the meetings until the North America club asked if Ot-tawa would host it this year, the fi rst time the organization has come to Canada in fi ve years.

MG owners from all over North America made the trek to Ottawa to

check out the capital, go for a drive along the Rockcliffe Parkway and see the sights.

Wrapping up the week-long event, the host club offered an old time drive-in movie at the Courtyard Mar-riott hotel on Coventry Road where the majority of the group was staying and the annual general meeting was held on July 18.

News - The Ottawa Public Li-brary has declared laptops a success and now offers Chromebooks at ev-ery branch.

After starting off with 30 of the lightweight netbooks during a pi-lot project last year, the library an-nounced July 15 it has added 114 of the devices to its collection. The laptops can be borrowed for free and used in any library branch for up to three hours at a time. The Chrome-books use the library’s wireless In-ternet network, so customers can use them anywhere inside a library branch.

Wireless use at public library branches was up 35 per cent last year compared to 2012. As Wi-Fi use continues to increase, providing laptops makes sense, said library board chairwoman Jan Harder.

“As our spaces are changing to accommodate customers and their devices, it’s great that we are able to lend out these maintenance-free and secure laptops to Ottawans to check up on their emails, read the latest news, or do some research,” she said in a press release.

While the library also has 30 iPad tablet devices available at a few branches, technology manager Craig Ginther said Chromebooks were a better choice to expand the library’s mobile technology options.

“Our experience with iPads is that they don’t work well as shared devices,” he wrote in an email.

Chromebooks use a Google Ad-min system that is designed for shared use and makes the laptops much easier to manage, Ginther said. Chromebooks are simple de-

vices that don’t require any manual software upgrades or maintenance because they function mostly via the Internet on cloud-based software.They are also about half the cost of iPads, he said. The 114 Chrome-

books cost $249 each for a total of $28,386, Ginther said.

So far, only one of the Chrome-books had gone missing, but the li-brary was able to recover it, Ginther said.

Laptops now available at all library branches

News - Residents in Old Ottawa East are going to have to wait a little while longer for a safe crossing at Clegg Street and Colonel By Drive, near the Rideau Canal.

The latest safe crossing initiative by the National Capital Commission and the city, a new signalled cross-walk at Fifth Avenue and Queen Elizabeth Driveway, became fully operational on July 15, a mere two months after the commission held its fi rst and only open house on the crossing and days before the RedBlacks hit the fi eld at TD Place Stadium for the fi rst time on July 18.

The National Capital Com-mission offi cially opened the new crossing on July 15, with both Mayor Jim Watson and

NCC chief executive Mark Kristmanson on hand to test the crossing. At the event, John Dance, president of the Ottawa East Community As-sociation, asked Kristmanson when a new crossing would be constructed at Clegg. Kristmanson said it was a priority, but funding for the crossing would be addressed in the commission’s capital budget in the fall.

Dance said the crossing at Clegg is incredibly unsafe and added he hoped the speedy work managed for the cross-ing close to Lansdowne could be repeated once again for Old Ottawa East residents.

“We’ve waited too long,” Dance said. “There is twice the amount of traffi c over there. It should be done soon.”

Much like the crossing at Fifth and Queen Elizabeth,

the crossing at Clegg and Colonel By was identifi ed as a place where a safe crossing is needed in the Rideau Canal

corridor. In total, in the Ride-au Canal Corridor Pedestrian Crossings Study conducted in 2011, 14 crossings were iden-tifi ed with the NCC currently prioritizing four spots; Fifth Avenue, Hartwell Locks, Dow’s Lake and Clegg Street on the Colonel By side. Prior to the crossing at Fifth, the Hartwell Locks crossing was complete late last year, but

the latest crossing is the fi rst to have both cycling lanes and a signal for pedestrians.

The speed in which this latest crossing was completed was noted by Glebe Commu-nity Association traffi c com-mittee chairman Brian Mitch-ell, who said there is no ques-tion it was completed quickly because of the impending opening of the new stadium.

“This is great,” Mitchell said. “It’s what the commu-nity has been waiting for, for years.”

Watson said he feels the crossing will offer safety not just for game days, but throughout the year and the new intersection responds to the needs of the community.

“It’s always been a risk to cross,” he said.

Issue will have to be addressed in the fall budget process, Kristmanson says

News - Quarter Vanier wants more people to butt out.

New cigarette bins were unveiled on July 16 as part of the business im-provement area’s new initiative. Part-nering with a company called Cig-bins, the BIA will install bins along the three main commercial streets in the area in an effort to stop cigarette butts from being tossed on the streets and sidewalks.

“The new butt bins are easy to use, uniquely designed, to encourage smokers to dispose and recycle their cigarettes as opposed to polluting our streets and sidewalks,” said Mark Kaluski, chairman of the BIA.

After collecting an estimated 3,000 butts in one day, Kaluski said ulti-mately the best thing would be to have as many cigbins as garbage bins in the area, but he added that three bins is a start.

The bins can collect up to 10,000

cigarette butts, and will be installed at sites along Montreal Road and Beech-wood and McArthur avenues.

The bins cost the BIA $80 each and will be emptied by Cigbins for $20 a week. The company will partner with Causeway Work Centre to manage the collection program.

The bins were created by Kathleen Vivienne Kemp, Ajmal Sataar and Brian Tomaszewski, who participated in a 48-hour weekend exercise hosted by Hub Ottawa called Launch Some Good.

The three University of Ottawa students were tasked with creating a company that could provide solutions for the community.

According to the company, 19 per cent of Canadians reported to being smokers, smoking an average of 15 cigarettes a day. Cigarette butts are the number one most littered item in the world, with approximately one third of cigarettes purchased being discarded in public places.

The BIA said it will keep statistics

on how effective the bins are, moni-toring how many butts are collected to see if the bins in fact make a dif-ference.

Mayor Jim Watson and area coun-cillors Mathieu Fleury and Peter Clark were on hand to help offi cially unveil the new bins.

“It’s really disgusting to go down a street in Ottawa and see it littered with thousands and thousands of cigarette butts,” Watson said. “I am pleased with the Vanier BIA’s leadership, who has teamed up with Cigbins and we need to get this kind of product around the whole city -- there’s no question.”

So far, the project is only taking place in Vanier.

The exact locations will be in front of the BIA’s offi ce, near the benches and new waste bins and at the bus stops at the New Edinburgh Retire-ment Home on Beechwood Avenue and the FreshCo on McArthur Av-enue.

The bins will be installed in the coming weeks.

The use of vacant lots for parking, which is regulated by bylaws, is some-thing the Lowertown Community As-sociation is very concerned about, said nearby resident John Chenier.

He said the issues on St. Andrew started in March, when the trailers fi rst pulled in.

“They were using generators for power and the noise and fumes were waking up the neighbours before 6 a.m.,” Chenier wrote in an email.

Now, the trailers are wired for hy-dro so the noise has been reduced to the sound of air conditioners and the noise of arriving workers, Chenier said.

Residents complained to the city in March and were told Claridge had been given until June 27 to vacate the lot.

When the vehicle weren’t removed, residents were told the property’s owner and Claridge were seeking a temporary zoning variance.

Calls to Claridge were not returned before this newspaper’s deadline, but the company’s rezoning application states the only option besides using 281 St. Andrew St. would be to en-croach on city streets for the duration of the construction, “which would

cause inconvenience and partial street closures.”

“This impact has more impact on the community than the proposed use of the lot,” the application states.

According to Linda Anderson, head of the city’s bylaw and regula-tory services, Claridge has applied for

a temporary rezoning and has been given until Oct. 31 to comply with the zoning regulations. That application will be on a September planning com-mittee agenda and full council on Oct. 8, she said.

People living near the site, how-ever, won’t support the variance, Che-nier said.

“We are asking the city to enforce the bylaw on illegal parking lots, we will oppose any application for a tem-porary variance, and in the interim, expect the city to enforce the bylaws and require the removal of the con-struction trailers,” he said.

The temporary rezoning applica-tion will follow the same process as a regular rezoning, said Don Herweyer, the city’s manager of development review. It is now posted on the city’s development applications website on ottawa.ca and it will be circulated to neighbours, who can comment.

Planning committee and council would have to approve the request for the temporary rezoning, which could be granted for up to three years, Her-weyer said.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury is unable to comment or act on the issue due to a confl ict of interest because his father works for Claridge Homes.

News - A new addition to an old Overbrook park is about to make a splash.

A corner of Lawson Park is currently under construc-tion to make room for a new splash pad Ground was bro-ken on on July 15 to mark the start of the project and Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Pe-ter Clark said he couldn`t be happier that work has begun and was pleased to hear that the work will be complete by the end of August.

“I want this to be open at least for Labour Day week-end,” he said.

Clark has been work-ing on the project for some time, announcing funding available from the cash-in-lieu-of-parkland fund last summer.

Originally expected to cost around $225,000, the price

tag has since doubled. Clark said it’s because although there was piping and sewer connections in the park, the city must replace it to prop-erly fi lter the chlorinated wa-ter.

According to David Lashley of Lashley and As-sociates, the landscaping architects working on the splash pad project, the new addition to the park will have all the fan favourites including a bucket that spills water on unsuspecting indi-viduals and a large palm tree that will shoot water out the top.

Surrounding the new water feature will be new asphalt pathways, benches and pic-nic tables. Waste receptacles will also be added to the once empty space.

Children from the area were on hand to check out the design and size up the work being done.

Amik Hilt-Andre said he is looking forward to when it’s complete because right now there are no splash pads near his home, others adding they go as far as Old Ottawa South to visit the large splash pad at Brewer Park.

The start of construction was conducted by Clark, Lashley, Mayor Jim Watson and Patrick Legault from the city’s park planning depart-ment.

“This is a truly fantastic opportunity for Overbrook,” said resident Sheila Perry.

The area where the work is being conducted is fenced off from Wolfdale Crescent, but access to the park’s base-ball diamond and fi eld, which abuts Isidore Street, is open to the public.

Community - Vanier resi-dents are being encouraged to dig out their cleats and head down to Assumption Catholic School to play in the commu-nity’s fi rst soccer tournament.

Organized by the Vanier Community Service Cen-tre and the Eastview Baptist Church, the soccer tournament will run from 3 to 6 p.m on

July 26. The tournament picks up after a youth tournament where under-19 soccer play-ers from teams from the Vanier Community Service Centre, the Lowertown Community Resource Centre and the Ride-au-Rockcliffe Community Re-source play for neighbourhood bragging rights. Those games will take place at both at the school and Richelieu Park.

“We found out that there was so many events happening

on the same day we decided to partner up,” said Jean-Michel Rousseau, from the Vanier Community Service Centre.

The service centre’s compe-tition will run from noon to 3 p.m. and that’s when the wider community tournament will begin at Assumption, Rous-seau said.

“Technically we didn’t plan to have the soccer tournament, but we felt it will give energy to the community and bring people together,” Rousseau said.

After the games, there will

be a barbecue and activities set up, including face painting and crafts. The movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, pre-sented in English, will begin at 8:45 p.m. Popcorn will be available for the movie.

People who are interested in playing soccer can register in advance by emailing Rous-seau, [email protected] or can also just show up on the day. The organization is still looking for volunteers for the movie portion of the eve-ning, as well to help clean up at the end of the night.

‘I just had a feeling inside that I was going to be OK’When Serena Beairsto was

16, she began experiencing a pain in her left knee.

“It just seemed to appear for no reason,” said Serena. Through X-rays and a bone scan, doctors diagnosed her with osteosarcoma. “I think my parents were more afraid than I was,” Serena remembered. “I didn’t think I was going to die.”

She was admitted to a children’s hospital in Halifax, where she received chemotherapy and blood transfusions and had her left leg amputated just above the knee. The treatments were harsh, she said, but didn’t stop the cancer from returning. Just one year later, she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her left lung.

“When I was diagnosed the second time, I just had a feeling inside that I was going to be OK, that I was going to make it through,” she said.

Again, she underwent chemotherapy and surgery to remove the cancer from her

lung.

Now 41 and completely recovered, Serena works at Carleton University as a Senior Programmer Analyst. She is a first responder with the Canadian Ski Patrol and Priority One. She was the first person with a disability to join the ski patrol in Canada.

“My life has been changed in a big way,” said Serena, “I have to live with an artificial leg. I also

have chronic renal failure from the chemotherapy. Although I am limited in some ways, I try not to let it stop me.

“But I am lucky I survived.”

On September 6, 2014, Serena will be participating in Ride the Rideau, The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature event and fundraiser for cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital. Her goal is to complete the 50 km event in honour of her grandmother, father and mother-in-law, who lost their own battles with cancer.

“It’s a terrible disease,” she said. “I hope they find a cure some day soon.”

News - New beds of yel-low roses at city hall are meant to bring attention to a little-known piece of Canadian his-tory.

The fl owers surrounding the Elgin Street entrance to city hall’s heritage building are Ghent roses, created in 1815 to honour the Treaty of Ghent.

The treaty brought an end to the War of 1812 when it was signed in the city of Ghent in the province of East Flanders, Belgium.

“It is not widely known, in-deed, that war was brought to a close in that city,” said Bruno van der Pluijim, outgoing am-bassador of the Kingdom of Belgium, as he helped unveil the garden on July 14.

To mark the war’s bicenten-nial anniversary in 2012, the Belgium embassy suggested donating 144 of the rose bush-es to adorn city hall’s lawn.

It was a “long road” to complete the garden, van der Pluijim said during his remarks at the unveiling, including a last-minute scramble when

the plants were almost turned away at the United States-Canada border when all the required documents weren’t in order.

A ring of poppies and or-namental bushes complete the garden.

The rose garden is in a fi tting location at the newly named Nelson Mandela Square, in the shadow of the Human Rights monument. Along with the Second Peace of Paris Treaty that was also signed in 1815, the Treaty of Ghent was one of the fi rst international trea-ties to acknowledge human rights by declaring the slave trade “irreconcilable with the principles of humanity and justice.”

Published weekly by:

Two separate situations, occurring within days of one another, point to a dangerous trend away from democratic principles.

The fi rst has to do with the never-end-ing Carp dump saga. The corporation wants it. The people don’t. The corporation wins.

Despite some 20 public meetings, dozens of residents’ submissions, the rise of opposition citizen groups, 18 council-backed recommendations from the city, and a hand delivered list from Mayor Jim Watson to the environment minister, the provincial government caved to Waste Management’s demand.

Recently, as a last slap in the face to the democratic will of the people, city council voted in favour of the dump expansion. Council knew the city didn’t need another dump; Waste Management thought otherwise. But the city would have lost at the Ontario Municipal Board.

Forget that council felt its hands were tied. Forget that a mockery was made of the democratic process. The corporation got what it wanted, no matter who it hurt.

The second case involved a cell tower. Rogers wanted it built next to 120 homes in Crown Point, far into Ottawa’s rural west end. Like the dump, property values would likely drop. But unlike the dump, the corporation listened to the protesters to the extent that it agreed to move the tower down the road.

However, it is important to note that Rogers could have ignored the will of the people and the city’s suggestions, and instead appeal to Industry Canada. It could have gotten that cell tower built wherever it could fi nd a landlord. It is only business interests that caused it to relent.

A homeowner whose house would have been 40 feet away from the cell tower called the situation draconian.

“How can Industry Canada just ignore what would happen to our property values?” said Vince Thompson. Good question.

What to call this shift away from democracy and protection of citizens? When profi t trumps all, another step is taken toward “corporatocracy.”

OPINIONOPINION Connected to your community

Around here, the most watched computer video lately is the implosion of the Sir John

Carling Building. The taking down of the building was spectacular, appar-ently fl awless and way more fun to watch on the Internet than kittens.

For reasons that are diffi cult to explain, the event drew hundreds of spectators at 7 a.m. on a Sunday morning and thousands more watched it on television and various online news sites. Perhaps the expla-nation for the video’s popularity is as simple as this: you get to watch a big explosion and nobody gets hurt.

An intriguing aspect of one of the videos was a brief interview after the implosion with an offi cial from the U.S. company that handled the demolition. “We want to come back,”

she said.Hmmm. Are more implosions are

ahead for Ottawa? Although there were few serious objections to taking down the Sir John Carling Building, which nobody seemed to want, it is worth noting that the building wasn’t all that old. It was built in 1967. A lot of us were built well before that and we’re still standing.

This means that candidates for the next implosion don’t necessarily have to be decrepit and at risk of fall-

ing down. The next one could appear perfectly fi ne to you, just as Sir John Carling did to the naked eye.

According to newspaper reports, it was discovered as early as 1994 that the building was showing signs of neglect and might not be worth sav-ing. That’s 27 years after it was built. Even the 47 years that have elapsed between construction and destruction don’t seem that long. Certainly many of the houses we live in are older than that and are doing just fi ne.

So what do we learn from this? Is it that we need to look after our buildings better? Or is it that there is a rather brief planned obsolescence built into our newer structures?

Could be either. It is also likely that the federal government over the years got bored with the idea of

having the Agriculture Department all in one place on Carling Avenue. If the government was committed to the concept, it would have looked after the building better. Governments, like people, can be fi ckle.

Meanwhile, keep your eyes peeled out at the airport for Americans in hardhats. What will they implode next? You probably have candidates of your own, such as most of Queen Street and many big box stores. Remember that the offending build-ing need not be all that old. And it doesn’t have to be ugly. The Sir John Carling building, designed by the distinguished architect Hart Massey, certainly had its admirers.

Yes, I can see you there with your hand raised. The Senate, you say. Well, there will be a lot of sympathy for that point of view. But think it through. It’s true we might not miss the institution and many of its inhab-itants, but think about what might

rise in its place. Right, it would be one of those glass things, with ornamentation meant to symbolize this and that. By contrast, the Centre Block, where the Senate sits now, looks quite nice. We just have to put something different there.

We’ve had a lot of opportunities to travel this summer. We’ve

also had the opportunity to be hosted by various friends and family members in our travels.

One message has come through loud and clear: “Brynna, your children are so well-behaved, so well-man-nered, so grateful. How do you do it?”

The truth is, this has been a good reminder for me. Often in the daily grind when the boys are sticking their stinky socks in each other’s faces, punching each other in the head or talking back when I ask them to empty the dish-washer, I forget that they’re “good kids.”

Good is a relative term, of course. But generally, they are appreciative. They say thank you for dinner in an elaborately expressed way: “Thanks for making dinner, Mom. I really like the way the chicken is tender inside.” But I often overlook it.

People ask me how I’ve done it. How have I parented three kids, including a two-year-old, who can be calm and quiet and seated at 11 a.m. in the presence of a new-born baby and her traditional Muslim grandparents? Well, the truth is, really, it’s not luck. It’s not. There is nothing lucky about my children be-ing well behaved.

We talk a lot about etiquette at our house. That includes how the children are meant to dress for a particular occasion – a wedding, a soccer game, a dinner with neighbours. That includes how they should answer adults when asked questions, including using Mr. And Mrs.

or Auntie and Uncle, unless invited to do otherwise.

It means reminding them that we believe there is a hierarchy in society. That older adults deserve the most reverence and respect, that children need to listen well, especially to adults that may be harder to understand or have accents, and that they need to work hard to fi nd common ground with people in order to make good conver-sation.

That means listening, really listening, in order to ask appropriate follow-up questions in conversation. It means soliciting for their own charitable causes and writing thank you notes.

It also means us reminding the children in advance of an occasion specifi cally what will be expected of them.

A recent example: “You will address so-and-so’s parents as Dr. and Mrs X. You will sit quietly on their sofa. You will not gorge yourself on cookies, but may take a second if offered. You will of-fer to help clear the dishes.”

It sounds very Victorian. Because most of the time at home the kids are footloose and fancy free, like many parents, I worry. Are the kids remembering to say please and thank you? Are they helping out at their friends’ houses to tidy or wash dishes or help out with a younger sibling? Because they don’t always do it at home.

But recent reports suggest my kids are doing okay. More than okay.

I have to say, that makes me feel good as a parent. And

I pass on the compliments to the kids so they know their positive behaviour has been well received.

I don’t always fi nd the same thing when other kids come here. I fi nd most kids are picky eaters, they don’t say please and thank you, they’re overly familiar, they talk too much, they’re demanding, and they don’t help out.

Are good manners a lost art?

If so, what can we do to create a renaissance?

Riding the Rideau in honour of DadPeter Croft has always been close

to his father, Russell.

Despite living 4,000 miles apart – with Peter in Ottawa and Russell in Edinburgh, Scotland – the two men share an interest in fishing, and manage a visit every couple of years. Peter even followed in the footsteps of his architectural technologist dad, becoming an architect in the UK at 25, just before emigrating to Ottawa with his Canadian wife in 2001.

In 2009, Russell was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Fortunately, the disease was caught very early and was highly treatable.

But when Russell was diagnosed with an aggressive Large Cell B Lymphoma in 2010 – the family was worried. He underwent more than two years of chemotherapy.

The dreaded disease returned again before last Christmas. This time, the relapse took a huge toll on the formerly strong man.

“The first two fights with cancer wore him down,” Peter said. ‘This time, there were stays at the hospital for a bunch of complications,” Peter said. “His bowel ruptured, and he got very close to death’s door.”

His father, now 68, is “very frail” and housebound, and doctors have told his family that the cancer is beyond cure. “We are obviously devastated,” Peter said of his tight-knit family.

Searching for a way to make a difference here at home in Ottawa, Peter signed up for Ride the Rideau, The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature event. The event, which has raised more than $6.45 million for cancer research over the past four years, will mark its fifth year on Saturday, September 6.

Peter will be doing the 100 km

ride in his father’s honour.

“I just hope he will live to see me do the ride,” said Peter, himself a father of two.

News - Pineview residents had better get ready to party because the new community association wants to host more

family-fun events for the entire neighbourhood.

Hot off the heels of a success-ful Canada Day party -- the fi rst for the community -- the newly-created Pineview Community Association met on July 14 to

discuss future events and plans.

The board said it wants to aim for at least three events a year, and seven of its board members dis-cussed multiple commu-nity outings, events, par-

ties and contests to hold over the course of the next 12 months. Heather Scott, Canada Day or-ganizer and association vice-president, said if the group plans on hosting more events, more volunteers will be needed.

“We could have used more volunteers on Canada Day, I think the day could have run more smoothly if there were more people helping out,” she said.

Scott reported that the as-sociation broke even with the Canada Day event, but that more fundraising or creative party-planning would need to be taken into consideration when it comes to hosting more events, including creating partnerships with local businesses.

The board agreed and dis-cussed ways to reach out to the community, including using its website and Facebook page to spread the word about upcom-ing events.

Ideas for future events in-cluded a Halloween and holiday party as well as holiday lighting contests, which could be pro-moted through Facebook.

The association also agreed to piggy-back onto the city-orga-nized free park playtime, Park-ticipate at Meadowview Park. The group will host its own park activities after the city-run sessions, starting at 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesdays throughout the

summer, as a way to encourage more residents to enjoy the park and meet neighbours.

“I think these are all things we could aim to do,” Scott said. “Ideally, I would like to see us throw two or three events a year.”

Apart from coming up with ideas for large parties, presi-dent Lynn Lau mentioned that working with an urban forager, the association plans to host a guided tour of edible plants in the neighbourhood this August.

Aside from all the party planning, board member Derek Oudit is working at beautifying and defi ning parks in the com-munity.

Oudit has taken on the task of meeting with city offi cials to discuss the state of the parks in the area, including plans to meet with a landscape architect to help add more colour to the community.

He would also like to have many of the small parks, or green spaces in the community identifi ed as parks. Oudit said residents should take photos of Pineview’s parks to help high-light areas of concern or to point out the green spaces which need to be defi ned as parks.

The association, which typi-cally meets monthly will be tak-ing August off, but will host its next meeting on Sept. 8 at Lo-blaws in the mezzanine upstairs.

Pineview Community Association’s board members wrap up a successful third meeting at the Loblaws Gloucester Centre on July 14. The new board formed in April and have been working hard at building its membership and hosting events for the community, including most recently, its fi rst Canada Day party.

Riding for a Cancer CureIn late 2012, Tom Robertson

was diagnosed with stage 4 bilateral squamous cell carcinoma in his neck. Treatment started in early 2013.

“In between diagnosis and treatment, I saw this cool single-speed, belt-drive bike at the store and thought that it would be a good idea to make it a goal to ride it after treatment,” said Tom. “But when I was finished all the radiation and chemo, I had difficulty even walking 50 feet, let alone ride a bike.”

Cancer fighting heroes aren’t built overnight. Bit by bit, he built up his strength, one kilometre at a time. Tom signed for the 50 km ride in the 2013 edition of Ride the Rideau as a recovery goal “as well as small payback for the great care and treatment I received at The Ottawa Hospital,” he said.

Ride the Rideau is The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature event. The event, which has raised more than $6.45 million for cancer research over the past

four years, will mark its fifth year on Saturday, September 6.

This year, Tom bought a bike with a few more gears and has signed up for the 100 km ride.

News - Nancy Miller Chenier started working with her col-leagues to preserve the heritage in Lowertown East three years ago.

Now the co-chairwoman of the community association`s heritage committee and a vol-unteer with Heritage Ottawa, Miller Chenier leads a walk-ing tour of the neighbourhood, bounded by Rideau Street, King Edward Avenue and the Rideau River.

“We have a couple of build-ings that are designated heri-tage, but no district,” she said, adding volunteers have sent a long list of buildings to city hall that they would like to see given a heritage designation.

“But it’s all volunteers, so it takes time,” she said.

The walking tour in Lower-town East on July 13 was the fourth in a series of 12 led by volunteers from Heritage Ot-tawa.

“Our mandate is education and awareness about Ottawa heritage,” said Linda Hoad, an-other volunteer with the organi-zation. “These walks are a great

vehicle for that.”The Lowertown East tour

starts with a stop at De La Salle high school, which was built to serve the area’s francophone population in 1971. It is now the French equivalent of Can-terbury High School – with a concentrated arts program.

Despite what Miller Chenier alluded to as a controversial re-development of the neighbour-hood in the 1970s, the area still

has some historical gems – like the Macdonald Gardens, de-signed on the site of a cemetery and Bordeleau Park, which was reclaimed from the river.

Miller Chenier referred to the neighbourhood as the Colonel By workers village.

Despite the rain and construc-tion on Old St. Patrick Street, two dozen Ottawans turned out for the walk. Miller Chenier said last year there were 50 people.

The next walk will take place along the Rideau Canal on Aug. 3. Participants will meet at the Bytown Museum and explore the engineering and architecture of the canal. Other tours include a Parliament Hill tour on Aug. 10 and a look at Old Ottawa South on Sept. 14.

For more information on Heritage Ottawa and the walk-ing tours, visit HeritageOttawa.org.

Wellington West BIA gets bike-friendly nod

FILE

The Wellington West Business Improvement Area has been granted a ‘bike-friendly’ designation from the Ontario By Bike Network for its eff orts to foster cycling in the area, including working to have street corral for parking installed this summer.

Steph [email protected]

News - If you’ve been seeing more cyclists on the roads in and around Wel-lington West Village, it isn’t your imagination.

More people are getting around on two wheels, and the local business commu-nity has taken note – and taken steps – to encourage a bike-friendly environment. Their efforts have netted the Wellington West Business Improvement Area a “cy-cling friendly business dis-trict” designation from the Ontario By Bike Network.

This is the fi rst desig-nation handed out in the province by the new initia-tive, which is a project of Transportation Options, a non-profi t organization dedicated to fostering bike use in Ontario. On the BIA’s website, executive director Zachary Dayler stated, “We want people to visit our wonderful businesses, then take an amazing ride on one of the over 600kms of bike trail here in Ottawa.”

The BIA recently gained a signifi cant piece of bike infrastructure in the form of a bike corral, a mobile park-ing structure for cyclists that takes up one on-street parking spot. Part of a city pilot project, the business association pressured the city to add a corral in their

area (another can be found in Hintonburg).

Michael McCreesh, proj-ect coordinator for Trans-portation Options, said a business area has to meet specifi c criteria to be award-ed the designation.

“We ask participating business areas that the ap-plication be driven by busi-ness groups, the chamber of commerce, and things like that,” said McCreesh. “That helps foster community buy-in and business buy-in.”

He added that Dayler and (board chairman Randy Kemp) have been “fantastic champions in bringing busi-nesses on board” with the bike-friendly initiative, en-gaging business owners and providing cycling informa-tion on their webpage.

In the BIA’s catchment area, 14 businesses agree to install bike lockup facilities and keep cycling literature and bike repair tools on hand. Businesses are learn-ing that catering to cyclists can be benefi cial, said Mc-Creesh, because they have the mobility and low speed required to spot advertising and stop easily at business-es, compared to motorists.

“We hope (the BIA) will show the information they receive over the next few months at our future work-shops to illustrate the value in doing this,” said Mc-Creesh.

Cancer-free and enjoying each dayStephen Hanlon had the world

by the tail. The 21-year-old had just returned from backpacking through Europe when the bomb dropped.

He was diagnosed with testicular cancer which had metastasized to his kidney, lung and lymphatic system.

“The prognosis didn’t look good,” remembered Stephen. “It wasn’t caught early. Everyone expected the worst.”

Everyone except for Stephen’s oncologist, Dr. David Stewart, who worked at The Ottawa Hospital, where Stephen was treated.

“I had a great oncologist,” said Stephen. “He reminded me of Clark Kent, and I thought, ‘I have Superman in my corner, so I’m going to be OK.”

He underwent surgery, 12 weeks of chemotherapy and another extensive surgery. Complications landed him in ICU after going into respiratory arrest where once again the medical staff pulled him through and gave him the best of care.

Fast forward many years and Stephen, who works with his wife Shirley on The Hanlon Real Estate Team at Kellar Williams in Mississauga, has just blown out 50 candles on his birthday cake. He’s an avid fitness fan

and has both a Boston Marathon and an Ironman under his belt. He’s also a proud dad of Jacob (19) and Sean (21).

When his brother, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute Chief Operating Officer Robert Hanlon approached Stephen about raising funds for the Hospital where he had been treated nearly 30 years earlier, Stephen eagerly agreed.

He still credits his surgeon, Dr. Patrick Murphy, Dr. Stewart (who still works at TOH), and his team of nurses for saving his life.

“They were just remarkable,” said Stephen, who will be riding 100 miles

at Ride the Rideau on September 6 to honour them.

In its 5th year, Ride the Rideau has raised more than $6.45 million for cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital in the past four years. To learn more about Ride the Rideau, visit www.ridetherideau.ca.

News - A nine-storey condo proposed for Little Italy will destroy the nieghbourhood, according to residents, even though they scored a small vic-tory in protecting some low-rise home areas.

The battles played out dur-ing a meeting at which city council approved the Preston-Carling community design plan on July 9. Councillors drafted a fl urry of motions re-questing taller or shorter build-ings in specifi c locations in the Preston-Carling area, with varying results.

But the small gains weren’t enough to please “save Little Italy” supporters, including Dalhousie Community As-sociation past-president Eric Darwin.

“The city missed a great opportunity to preserve great inner-city neighbourhoods,” he said. “Pretty soon we’ll see

Little Italy when you go to a museum.”

Part of the issue is that many areas that were once desig-nated for residential use only are now classifi ed as “general urban,” Darwin said, meaning uses other than homes could move in.

Jamie Liew, a resident of Norman Street, agreed the new plan spells the end of Little Italy as she knows it.

“It means it’s dead. There will be no more village-type community,” she said.

With support from Mayor Jim Watson, planning com-mittee chairman Peter Hume, councillor for Alta Vista Ward, was successful in keeping a residential area on Adeline Street to four storeys instead of the nine that city staff sug-gested. Hume said nine storeys had been suggested to provide a transition in height from the low-rise homes to higher-rise buildings proposed further south, but residents who live

there didn’t want the transi-tion. Whether it’s justifi ed or not, Hume said, residents felt the nine-storey transition would lead to an erosion of the neighbourhood’s fabric.

“This is an opportunity for us to say to the community, ‘OK, we hear you, we under-stand,’” he said. “I agree with them, you don’t always need that buffer, that transition.”

But even the support of Mayor Jim Watson wasn’t enough for Somerset Coun. Diane Somerset to gain coun-cil’s support for her bid to limit building heights on the north side of Norman Street west of Preston Street to four storeys – that area could see buildings of up to nine storeys in the future. Tamarack Homes has plans for a nine- and fi ve-storey residen-tial building with townhomes facing Norman Street, which terminates in a dead end at the O-Train tracks.

“I think four storeys are much more compatible,” Wat-

son said. “We’re being very generous in the rest of the plan ... It would seem to make sense we should be consistent (with the other dead-end streets).”

Liew said she was surprised by the mayor’ support, but noted he only has one vote on council. She intends to appeal the city’s decision to the Ontar-io Municipal Board in hopes of getting the zoning overturned.

The same goes for Young Street – councillors voted down Holmes’s attempt to limit properties fronting onto the south side of Young to four storeys, instead approving zon-ing up to 15 storeys.

Kitchissippi Coun. Kather-ine Hobbs, whose ward also encompasses a portion of the plan, made a failed attempt to change the zoning at sites

along the north side of Carling Avenue between Breezehill and Loretta avenues from nine to six storeys. Another motion to do the same for Loretta Av-enue didn’t get support either.

Councillors also shot down an attempt by Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess to allow a devel-oper to build up to nine storeys at 75 Aberdeen St., where only four storeys were planned. A formal application hasn’t been fi led with the city, but Bloess said a representative of the de-veloper spoke to him about the idea.

Giving back where they buildThey started small.

When Mattamy Homes fi rst got involved with Ride the Rideau in 2012, they were a cozy team of fi ve. But like many event participants, the event grew on them. Inspired by the cause and captivated by the well-organized event, the team decided to up their involvement.

Two years later, the team has grown to more than 20 riders, and Mattamy Homes has taken the reins as title sponsor of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature fundraiser.

Ride the Rideau is a natural fi t for Mattamy Homes, Canada’s largest new home builder, said Peter Gilgan, Founder and CEO of Mattamy Homes. Based in Toronto, Gilgan, who is an avid cyclist, recently signed up to do the 100-mile ride in Ottawa alongside his staff.

“This is defi nitely something that we’re proud to be a part of,” said Mark Parsons, President of the Ottawa Division of Mattamy Homes. Parsons and team captain Mattamy Senior Project Manager, Land Development

Mike Green, both avid cyclists, are leading group rides so all team members will be comfortable with their conditioning on the day of the Ride.

The team has brought Mattamy’s small Ottawa offi ce closer together, Green said.

“Ottawa has always supported Mattamy,” said Gilgan, “and we want to give back where we build.”

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada and is responsible for 30 cent of all deaths. An estimated 191,300 new cases of cancer and 76,600 deaths from cancer will occur in Canada in 2014. The proceeds from Ride the Rideau support the groundbreaking cancer research that will save or improve the quality of life for many.

In its fi fth year, Ride the Rideau will be held Saturday, September 6. It features a brand-new 100 mile distance this year, in addition to its popular 50 km and fl agship 100 km rides. All distances feature new routes, departing from and returning to Ottawa’s EY Centre, making it easier for family, friends and fans to cheer riders on at

the start and fi nish.

The Ride grows each year, continues to be the top cancer fundraiser in Eastern Ontario. In just four years, has raised over $6.45 million in support of cancer research, including the development of personalized therapies for cancer patients and clinical trials at The Ottawa Hospital.

News - Organizers of the 10th annual Water Garden tour are hop-ing to match last year’s fundraising numbers.

Jo Riding said the annual tour raises money for the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre; last year the event raised $4,000. The fi nal fi g-ures for this year weren’t available before the Ottawa West News went to press.

The event was organized by the Greater Ottawa Water Garden Hor-ticultural Society. Riding said half the stops – which included the under construction Aquatopia Conserva-tory on March Road, the Canadian Wildlife Federation, the Sprague Pond less Waterfall in Nepean and

the DuFour Pond in Gloucester. There were a dozen stops in total.Jerika Bradford, who works with

the Canadian Wildlife Federation, said it’s the second time the organi-zation has participated for the last three years. The organization, which has a pond and a hummingbird gar-den onsite, aims to educate the public about local wildlife.

“We do a lot of education and raising awareness,” Bradford said. “That’s why events like this are so important. We have had a lot of traf-fi c. A deer even made an appearance for some people who came out to have a look.”

Riding said aside from established water pond stops, the tour will also include a do-it-yourself garden, nominated by some of the retail sponsors.

Cancer survivor returns to Ride the RideauTwo things fi rst inspired Dawn

Morewood to start cycling in Ride the Rideau when the signature fundraiser of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation launched fi ve years ago.

The fi rst was her father, Jack, who was diagnosed with bladder cancer, and subsequently successfully treated with the oncolytic therapies the Ride would help support.

The second was her love of bicycling. A cycling fanatic of more than 30 years, she and her husband, Arthur, met 28 years ago through the Ottawa Bicycle Club, and participate in Ride the Rideau every year on a tandem bicycle.

With three rides already under her belt, irony struck when Dawn herself was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2013. The investment advisor with RBC Dominion Securities was 50 years old at the time.

“I’d had the instinct that something was wrong,” said Dawn.

A mammogram and an ultrasound confi rmed the presence of a solid mass, and she underwent a biopsy and a battery of tests at The Ottawa Hospital. Although it was breast cancer, Dawn did get the good news that it was caught early.

“The diagnosis came way out of left fi eld,” Dawn remembered.

Within two weeks, Dawn had undergone a lumpectomy. The results were excellent – the cancer had not yet spread, and the margins were clear. She underwent six rounds of chemotherapy over 18 weeks, as well as radiation, which ended February 13 of this year.

Two days later, Dawn and her

husband welcomed their fi rst grandchild.

“It was the closing of a chapter and the start of a new one,” Dawn, now 51, summed up perfectly.

Since then, Dawn’s had another mammogram and ultrasound, and both came back clear. After a year off from Ride the Rideau, she and Arthur are plotting their return to the 100 km event at the fi fth annual

ride on Saturday, September 6 – on a tandem bicycle, of course.

One of the best parts? Her dad – “a picture of health at 88 years old” – will be there to cheer them on, she said.

News – There’s no doubt spectators were having a blast in the early hours of July 13, when demolition experts pressed the terminal button to bring down the Sir John Carling Building near Dows Lake.

Despite the rainfall that start-ed minutes before the 7 a.m. detonation, hundreds of people gathered to see the 11-storey building come down, carting everything from cell phones to professional cameras to catch the action.

The former Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada headquarters had stood at the corner of Car-ling Avenue and Prince of Wales

Drive since 1967, and served as the agriculture headquarters un-til 2009, when it was deemed unfi t for use. The agriculture department and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency moved to Baseline and Merivale roads in 2010.

In January 2013, Aim Waste Management was awarded a $4.8-million contract to decon-struct the building, a process which began last summer.

On July 13, police were busy keeping curious onlookers be-hind the safety barriers, which

kept them 300 metres from the blast. Warning sirens sounded 10 minutes before the implosion, and then a succession of air horn blasts were heard just before. A quick countdown, and then three deafening booms cracked over the quiet, rainy morning. At fi rst, no change was visible – and then the building came down in just a second or two, folding into itself and disappearing into a cloud of yellow-grey dust.

As the remains of the build-ing settled into rubble, the crowds burst into enthusiastic cheers and applause.

The roads opened soon after the blast. The next task is clean-ing up the rubble that remains on the site.

Once Aim cleans up the im-plosion’s debris – most of which can be diverted and recycled – the site will be “landscaped,” according to Public Works and Government Services Canada. A spokesperson wouldn’t go so far as to call the new landscap-ing a public park, but also said it wouldn’t be closed to the pub-lic.

Holiday Retirement http://www.holidaytouch.com/about-us/who-is-holiday – senior retirement residences with over 300 locations across the U.S. and Canada – has ingeniously employed an activity program for its seniors that will intrigue, inspire, and involve all residents of this seniors’ retirement community.

The program is called Let’s Talk Seniors®. Let’s Talk Seniors http://www.holidaytouch.com/life-at-holiday/activities-and-events/lets-talk-seniors offers residents the opportunity to attend talks and seminars on a variety of subjects that are relevant to seniors. The program involves the participation of local professionals with expertise on a variety of topics. Seniors are provided with an opportunity to continue with

lifelong learning. Plus, there are many extended benefits, such as engagement, and it all adds to the well-being of the senior residents. Let’s Talk Seniors delivers a fresh, new vitality and inspiration that we all enjoy with new learning experiences.

The Let’s Talk Seniors program stimulates interest in a variety of subjects and the topics are diverse, so seniors are not always the specific focus. Subjects include the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the March of Dimes, National Police Week, and Random Acts of Kindness, to name a few.

Holiday Retirement has created and implemented such a series, for the purpose of learning and interacting. Holiday Retirement understands this;

they understand that engaged seniors lead to these same people having healthier, happier, more satisfying lives. This philosophy is such a core practice of Holiday Retirement that activity and involvement are integrated throughout the very culture and lifestyle of the residences. Each location for Holiday Retirement (and keep in mind, there are over 300 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada) offers a changing program of well thought-out activities and events http://www.holidaytouch.com/life-at-holiday/activities-and-events that are designed for purposes of wellness.

Crystal View Lodge http://www.holidaytouch.ca/our-communities/crystal-view-lodge and The Court at Barrhaven are members of the Holiday Retirement community of retirement living and are located in Ottawa’s West End, Nepean.

These residences offer independent living to seniors complete with live-in managers, chef-prepared cuisine, and a wonderful, engaging atmosphere.

Since 1988

Lifestyle - Children who are being rejected by their peers are going through a terrible ordeal. Isolated, insulted and ostracized, they often suffer in silence, and the consequences can be dramatic. It is never easy for parents to help a child who is being rejected, but it is possible.

Being different in some way is sometimes the cause be-hind this rejection. At other times, there doesn’t appear to be any logical explanation. Shyness, a nervous tic, speech diffi culties, obesity, or even having braces can be enough to set in motion the victimization process. Sometimes, all it takes is for children to ignore being made fun of for the rejection to start. And yet, some children who stutter or who are obese will never experience rejection. Children are best prepared by receiving help in devel-oping a certain amount of independence and social skills, which allow them to cope with their differences. Parents who help their children from a young age to develop social skills are preparing them to be better able to defend them-selves without resorting to violence (but rather through discussion or humour, for example). This also helps them to build their self-confi dence. Parents should listen to how their children have suffered and, above all, take them seriously. The next step is to tell their teachers; school staff may be able to correct the situ-ation through a class discussion where everyone can ex-press themselves without fear of being judged. It is vital to encourage rejected children to talk about their experience in order for them to escape their isola-tion.

How to help children who have been rejectedLifestyle - Why not organize a back to school party this year? Turning the fi rst day of school into a festive occasion is a great way to start off the new school year on the right foot.

You probably already know that eating breakfast is vital for energy and for in-creasing one’s capacity to learn. Make your back-to-school breakfast a colourful affair. Set the table with fresh fl owers and new placemats, and concoct a healthy breakfast that’s a bit out of the ordinary. If your children aren’t hungry, a smoothie and a small homemade fat-free muffi n are easy to manage, even for small stomachs that are feeling queasy with stress.Before leaving home, be sure to take the traditional photograph at the front door. The idea may seem old-fashioned to you, but these annual photos will become great memories for the entire family. Create an album just for these back-to-school photos and in a few years time you’ll all have fun looking through it. When your children get home after their fi rst day back at school, give them a surprise, a little reward to make them feel better after what can often be a stressful

day. You don’t need to spend a fortune to put smiles on their faces – serving their fa-vourite meal or taking everybody out to a restaurant is a great way to fi nish off the day.

Above all, this is an occasion to spend time together as a family, a moment to support each other in making the peaceful transition from the quiet of the summer to the regular school year routine.

Mother always said my brother Emerson was going to grow

up to be a prominent scientist, or at the very least an inventor of note.

He spent hours drawing on art paper that Mother somehow managed to buy at Ritza’s Drug Store at the one cent sale – you got fi ve pads for a quarter, and then fi ve more for a nickel. So Emerson always had a num-ber of pads on which to draw mysterious glass buildings, unrecognizable structures, and maps of countries which existed only in his imagina-tion.

And he was forever dream-ing up some idea that would make life easier on the farm. These ideas would be fi rst put to paper, and if he could man-

age it, put into use, but rarely did any of them amount to a hill of beans.

Take the time he thought if he put plank-like devices on the horses feet in the winter time it would prevent the horses from plunging belly- deep in the snow. Fortunately Father wouldn’t let him near the team, but Emerson was so sure the idea was one of the best he had ever dreamed up that he took his design and tucked it under his bed with his collection of maps and

pictures of buildings the likes of which we had never seen before, and thought we never would.

And then one hot summer day he got another spurt of imagination. It happened when we were both swinging on the gate behind the cow byre. The cows were waiting to be put inside to be milked, and the horse fl ies were as thick as thieves. I felt so sorry for the cows.

See FORTUNE, page 21

Emerson’s invention gets him in hot water

MARY COOK

Mary Cook’s Memories

Page 23: Ottawaeastnews072414

Continued from page 20

Their tails weren’t nearly long enough to swat the fl ies off their front parts, so I would often stand with a leafy branch and swish it over their backs chasing away these dreadful fl ies, which I hated with a passion.

I was lamenting to Emer-son that the horse fl ies even followed the cows into the barn. And I commented that once I started to milk I had to forgo chasing away the fl ies.

Emerson hung most of his body over the link fence. Not a muscle in his entire form was moving. He always went like that when he was think-ing, sort of like being in a trance it was.

That night while the rest of us sat looking at the Eaton’s catalogue at the kitchen table, Emerson was in a corner with his pad of graph paper. No one paid any attention to him – this was the way he spent many an hour.

But the next day he took me into his confi dence. I should have known better. The

only time he ever confi ded in me about something as private as an invention was when he needed help. He had been working in the drive shed for most of the morning, and when he came out he searched the barnyard to make sure no one was in sight. He had two long poles, cleaned off branches really, off the lowest part of the big maple in our front yard, and an armful of binder twine. He beckoned me to come with him behind the cow byre.

“If this works, I’ll make a fortune,” he said. “See if you can sidle up to that cow over there.” Now, I know why I was taken into his confi dence. Most of the cows were pets to me, and I had no trouble getting old Bossy to stand still. Emerson approached her rear end slowly with the two poles and the binder twine. Bossy was swishing her tail like mad. Emerson had to make two or three grabs before he got a hold of it. I was feeding hay into her mouth on Emerson’s orders. He placed the two hefty limbs

along each side of the tail and very quickly wrapped the binder twine around them because Bossy was beginning to wonder what was going on at her other end. When he had it secured, by wrapping some binder twine around her back legs, he dusted off his hands and said, “Now when she swishes her tail, it will reach farther and if my design is correct, she will kill the horse fl ies on contact.”

Now, under ordinary circumstances nothing would have come of this exercise, and it would have gone the way of all Emerson’s inven-tions. But that evening Father was late coming in from the fi elds. We brought the cows inside in a hurry, and he went right at the milking. It was almost dark in the barn, as he positioned the stool at Bossy’s full udder, but you didn’t need much light to milk. Father was a scant foot from this weapon Bossy had attached to her tail. The horse fl ies loved the dank heat of the barn and the place was buzzing. Emerson was standing at the

barn door, which now I real-ized was very fortunate for him. Bossy’s tail was moving ever so slightly, and then one of the fl ies must have really done some damage, because that contraption Emerson had attached to her came around her rear end with a “why won’t ya” and connected with

the side of Father’s head with such a whack that it knocked him off the stool and sent the milk fl ying. Father just sat there for several seconds trying to fi gure out what hit him. Then he got up and slowly made his way towards Bossy’s tail. He stood for the longest time looking at the two branches and the binder twine that he hadn’t noticed before. He let one roar out of him ordering Emerson to get

in there at once. I turned to the door where Emerson had been standing. All I saw was our barn cat licking her paws and lapping the spilt milk.

Sports – Ottawa will host some of Canada’s top athletes during the Canadian Track and Field Championships in 2017 and 2018, generating a $6-million windfall for the city.

“For those two years, Ot-tawa will witness the best track-and-fi eld athletes in the country,” said Mayor Jim Watson, who made the announcement on July 17 at the Terry Fox Athletics Facility at Mooney’s Bay, where the future event will be held.

Ottawa hasn’t hosted the event since 2006.

“These young athletes and parathletes are follow-

ing their dreams and their aspirations to have a chance to qualify and proudly wear the Canadian colours with a chance to compete against the world,” he said, adding that Ottawa is the perfect setting, especially in 2017, during Canada’s 150th birthday cel-ebrations.

In addition to the victo-ries that will be seen during the national championships, the event will also score a victory for the area economy, Watson said, pumping an estimated $3 million into the city in 2017 and again in 2018.

The championships will serve as the selection trials for national teams for the World Championships, Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Pan and Para-pan American Games, draw-ing 1,500 junior and senior athletes and 300 trainers and coaches.

Sports - A 19-year-old bowler from east Gloucester has reached a new height in his athletic career with his fi rst gold medal at the Canadian Special Olympics in Vancou-ver.

“I am just so happy for him,” said the young man’s mom, Karen McDonald. “He is a great kid.”

Colin Ratzlaff won a gold medal July 12 after a superb performance in the fi ve pin

team bowling event. Ratzlaff’s personal average of about 114, with a high of 140, netted him the gold, said McDonald.

“It was excellent,” said Rat-zlaff, and a bit of a surprise.

Ratzlaff has been bowl-ing for the past seven years, said McDonald, after a family trip to Prince Edward Island showed he was a strong athlete. Ratzlaff’s stepfather suggested he try participating in the Spe-cial Olympics, and McDonald enrolled him in bowling.

“It just took off from there,” she said.

Ratzlaff has a rare genetic disease called tuberous scle-rosis which causes benign tu-mors. This has caused develop-mental diffi culties for Ratzlaff, who has brain and kidney tu-mors and an eye tumor, and also experiences seizures.

Ratzlaff has undergone brain surgery and keeps his seizures controlled with medication, and doesn’t allow the disease to keep him from having a sunny outlook on life or from rolling a great game.

“He is a great kid, an out-standing personality, has a

positive attitude, loves life and loves animals,” she said.

Seeing him win gold was a thrill for McDonald as well as Ratzlaff, who has taken to wearing his fi ve provincial medals and national medal around his grandparents’ B.C. home, clanging and generally making noise, she said.

And Ratzlaff is already thinking of the next challenge.

The Special Olympics inter-national competition does not include fi ve pin bowling, and so Ratzlaff is preparing for the switch to 10 pin.

“All the pins are bigger and the bowling balls are very smooth and you can buy those 10 pin bowling balls with dif-ferent designs,” said Ratzlaff, sounding excited to get his own bowling ball.

While there are 10 pin Spe-cial Olympics programs in Kingston and Pembroke, there

are none started in Ottawa, said McDonald.

“I’m starting to get a hold of the committee to start 10 pin bowling program (in Ot-tawa) so he can qualify, down

the line, for the world’s,” said McDonald.

Ratzlaff is excited for his new challenge, she said. “He doesn’t even want to talk fi ve pin.”

Sports - A young man from Kanata who has autism was the fastest Otta-wa resident in this year’s Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon on May 25.

The race was Tommy Des Brisay’s fi rst full marathon at 22-years old, fi n-ishing with a time of two hours and 39 minutes.

It’s something Des Brisay has been working up to for years, with a half marathon personal best time of one hour 14 minutes and 56 seconds and many runs under his belt since he be-gan running with his dad at 14 years old.

That Des Brisay would do so well in the Ottawa marathon is really no surprise to his parents. He has always been a great athlete, and a dedicated one.

“I’m going to be the fi rst fastest runner in the world,” said Des Brisay.

Though he works tirelessly to be the best at what he does, his great-

est accomplishments are the rela-tionships he has gained through his achievements, said his mom, Mary-Ann Given.

Diagnosed with a severe commu-nication disorder at two-and-a-half years old, Des Brisay’s parents were worried their son might never be able to communicate with others and build meaningful relationships.

But they always knew he would be an athlete.

At nine months, Des Brisay learned to walk and immediately began to show his athletic side.

“He showed, at a young age, really good endurance and stamina and bal-ance and coordination,” she said. But, when you called out his name, Des Brisay didn’t respond.

One of the few forms of communi-cation he did engage with was Disney movies, and even there, his restless side came out.

“He was not a passive watcher,” said Given. “He would run out of the room when the villains came and run

towards the TV and laugh and jump up and down and dance to the music,” she said.

Despite the joy the movies gave him, Des Brisay’s doctors said the movies weren’t good for him, and that he needed to engage more with people face-to-face. His parents didn’t listen.

“I just thought, ‘If someone loves something that much, it’s got to be a good thing.’” said Given.

So they bought more Disney mov-ies. At this point, Des Brisay was still

very non-verbal, but at the age of nine, that changed.

Des Brisay’s parents bought their fi rst DVD – his favourite movie, The Jungle Book.

“He fi ddled around in the menu and he came running to get me,” said Given. “He had it frozen at his favou-rite scene and he had turned on the subtitles.”

It was a eureka moment for them, because, when Given recited the words to her son, Des Brisay looked

at them, and for the fi rst time was able to say the words.

That was a major turning point for Des Brisay, who can communicate rather well now, especially when it comes to recalling dates. Certain questions remain diffi cult for him, and he continues to prefer communicating in writing, but it hasn’t kept him from graduating from Ottawa Technical Secondary School in 2012 or auditing classes at the University of Ottawa.

Like speaking, participating in or-ganized sport was diffi cult when Des Brisay was younger as he didn’t un-derstand many social cues or how to deal with people.

But, as his athletic and communi-cative abilities have grown, so has his group of friends.

Des Brisay is a member of the Ot-tawa Lions Track and Field Club and the Rideau Canoe Club, a frequent rock-climber at Vertical Reality, an award-winning skier, runner and rower, not to mention an avid user of social media with fi ve million views on his YouTube channel and nearly 10,000 subscribers.

Many of Des Brisay’s athletic ac-complishments are in mainstream competitions as well as handicapped ones, showing his athletic ability is not constricted by his disability, and nor is his social circle.

Arts - Politics. Action. Na-zis.

“The Scarecrow Club” is a fi lm rife with controversy and tension, and is the fi rst feature-length offering of local fi lm-maker Richard Groen.

The Trailwest resident pre-miered the 126-minute fi lm at the Mayfair Theatre on July 10, the culmination of 10 years working in Ottawa’s close-knit fi lm community.

The fi lm surrounds the elec-tion of a modern Nazi party in Ontario after a wave of anti-Semitism. The fi lm follows the growth of a resistance group that is convinced the vote was rigged and fears what the party has in store for Ontario.

Groen describes the fi lm as an adult political thriller action fi lm, and his biggest undertak-ing yet.

The 50-year-old writer, pro-ducer and director began acting 10 years ago, gaining small parts in local fi lms and learn-ing from writers and directors. Groen was later inspired to tell his mother’s story living through the Second World War. That story became Groen’s fi rst

short fi lm. Again with his new fi lm,

Groen said he drew upon the experiences of his parents.

“They were both in Hol-land during the occupation of the Nazis,” he said. “I grew up hearing stories about what it was like.”

It’s a narrative that fewer and fewer in Canada are familiar with, he said. “Living in Can-ada, nobody really understands what it’s like to live in a re-pressed society, so I decided to write a script that refl ected on the slight possibility of some-thing like that happening,” said Groen.

Though the movie deals with a controversial topic, Groen said he is not trying to moralize or say anything particular with the fi lm.

“I just want people to come off it and say, ‘Wow, that was a good fi lm with a good sto-ryline.’ I don’t have an ulterior motives,” he said.

Almost 200 people showed for the premier of the movie, said Groen, who delighted in seeing the reactions of the crowd.

“Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves,” he said. “I loved to hear them laugh when they (were meant to) laugh and silent when the tension was there. For my fi rst feature, it was a great overall experience.”

The $15,000 movie was fi lmed all over Ottawa, with scenes on Wellington Street in front of Parliament Hill, in Kanata and Russell. The 28 actors and dozen or so crew members were mostly local as well, which resulted in a strong cast, said Groen.

“Ottawa is a very small fi lm community, especially when compared to Toronto and Mon-treal, so we are in a position where everybody knows ev-erybody, so that helps when it comes to creating chemistry on set,” he said.

Groen is thinking submitting the fi lm to the upcoming Otta-wa International Film Festival in mid October, and has fi lm festivals in Austin, Texas and Pasadena, California interested in screening the fi lm. He hopes to get some DVDs distributed as well, he said.

“This fi lm would not have been possible if it wasn’t for the fi nancial and moral sup-port of my father,” said Groen. “He’s been a big supporter of my fi lming since day one.”

Groen is already starting pre-production for his next fi lm, a popcorn action movie called Crusher. If all goes well, the new fi lm will be ready for next summer.

“That’s 1,800 people, in addition to the literally thousands of people that will come and cheer on their family, their friends and their neighbours at the competition,” Watson said, add-ing that tourism and hospitality is Ottawa’s third largest industry after government and high tech.

“And the combination of bids won in events hosted over the past few years has generated almost $40 mil-lion to the local economy,” said Wat-son, who was fl anked during the an-nouncement by city councillors Mark Taylor, Maria McRae, Mathieu Fleury and Scott Moffat.

“That’s why our ‘Bid More, Win More, Host More’ strategy is a key priority of our department of econom-ic development and innovation,” said Watson.

The competition is typically held in late June and early July, but the Ot-tawa dates have not yet been selected.

That won’t be announced until next year.

But there is still a lot of work to do before the championships can be held. The city and the Ottawa Lion’s Tack and Field Club, said to be one of the largest clubs of its kind in the country, will each need to pump in sizable chunks of change to improve the Terry Fox Athletics Facility.

The city will spend $300,000 in new money, while the Ottawa Lions

Track and Field Club will contribute $72,000 to pay for a new throws-competition area, where the shot put, discus and hammer are launched by athletes.The city’s investment would

cover track painting and a new track curb for about $30,000, $15,000 in new lighting, $10,000 in audio equip-ment and $100 in additional storage.

The city is also looking for a part-ner to match its $40,000 pledge to purchase a new scoreboard, said Kelly Robertson, the city’s manager of city-wide recreation programs.

“As part of that project, we’re going

to try and see if we can actually fi nd some partners to help us get enhanced scoreboards at the site,” she said, add-ing that the current scoreboard at the facility doesn’t work.

“We’ll be obligated to rent some-thing but it’d be nice to if we had something for all of our users of the facility,” she said.

“I think it’s a better interactive ex-perience too for people in the stands.”

Other facility upgrades from a dif-ferent pot of budgeted funds are ex-pected to include a $127,000 timing tower and $17,000 in fence repairs.

The bulk of the improvements will be done in 2015 and 2016 ahead of the national meet.

As part of Ottawa’s Bid More, Win More, Host More strategy, which launched in 2011, the city began the bidding process in January 2013 to bring the championships here.

The competition closed last Sep-tember, and Athletics Canada noti-fi ed Ottawa offi cials in January of this year that the Terry Fox Athletic Facil-ity had been chosen.

The event is held annually, but stays in the same city for two consec-utive years. Moncton hosted the event in 2013 and 2014, and it will move to Edmonton for the next two years.

Athletics Canada, which selected Ottawa, has “great confi dence” that the organizing committee and the city will host a great event, said Rob Guy, the organization’s chief executive of-fi cer.

The Canadian Track and Field Championships will be an opportu-nity for local residents to see some of Canada’s premier athletic talent on display, he said.

“We’ve got some really, really tal-ented athletes right now,” Guy said.

Thousands expected to attend competition, mayor says

The combination of bids won in events hosted over the past few years has generated almost $40 million to the local economy.’MAYOR JIM WATSON

News - If you live in Herongate and there’s a knock at your door this sum-mer, it could very well be Nicole Li.

She will be conducting a new 10-week initiative in the community that aims to solicit residents’ feedback on what is and isn’t working in what some say is a troubled neighbour-hood.

“I’m really looking forward to hearing mostly what the tenants have to say because I think too much gets said about communities without actu-ally talking to the people that live in that community,” said Li, a communi-ty health worker with the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre. “So I’m really interested to hear what they would like to see in their own community, what would make it bet-ter for them.”

The fi rst step for Li is identify-ing service providers, such as police, youth outreach and housing landlords, among others, who are currently op-erating in the neighbourhood.

She will also reach out to commu-nity and activity groups, in order to form focus groups of people from a wide cross-section of ages, religions, languages and cultural backgrounds. Li will be knocking on residents’ doors throughout August.

“We are looking to reach out to the diversity of who lives here,” said Kelli Tonner, director of community servic-es for the South-East Ottawa Commu-nity Health Centre, who is overseeing the project. “The concerns of seniors might be different than the concerns of young parents. I don’t know. We have to ask. But we are looking to speak to those groups.”

The initiative is being funded with a $9,100 grant from Crime Prevention Ottawa.

“Not that the area is the worst in Ottawa by any means, but it is an area in Ottawa that we had some concerns about in which there is not currently a collaborative crime-prevention ap-proach,” said Nancy Worsfold, ex-ecutive director of Crime Prevention Ottawa, a local municipal board that brings together organizations, includ-ing the United Way, Ottawa police and school boards, among other part-ners, to promote community safety and deter crime.

It’s the fi rst time the study will be conducted in Herongate, and it is ex-pected to result in a report on Sept. 12 that will identify needs, concerns and opportunities, resources, service gaps, a list of solution-driven initiatives that residents will have identifi ed and pri-oritized, and allow agencies to capi-talize on what is working.

“So it really is much more of a

mapping exercise than it is simply doing focus groups,” said Leslie McDiarmid, executive director of the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre.

Herongate came on the radar more than a year ago.

“That’s a community where we have not seen a lot of concerted ef-fort. It’s a community where – and I think that the police spoke to it (at a Herongate community safety meeting on July 3) – crime is not up per say, however there have been a few acute incidents over a fairly short period of time,” she said, adding the commu-nity has seen a lot of change in recent years, including a new housing land-lord in the largely rental area.

A similar initiative was fi rst launched nine years ago in the for-merly troubled neigbourhood of Banff-Ledbury.

Since then, the No Communities Left Behind steering committee of more than 20 agencies has been work-ing there to help residents make the changes they wanted under what has since become a citywide community development framework that is about building safe and healthy neighbour-hoods.

“You really need to know what’s really happening,” Worsfold said. “It’s not useful to reinvent the wheel; it’s not useful to respond to one per-ception or one incident.”

For instance, some residents at a recent community safety meeting that was held in Herongate follow-ing a daring gun battle there on June 17 said they have seen drugs being bought and sold on their streets.

“I would suspect ... that there is a drug issue because it is my experi-ence and observation that community disturbance, violence and so on is often related to the presence of drug traffi cking,” Worsfold said. “There is

drug traffi cking happening in every neighbourhood. The question is how much and how bold and what they’re traffi cking.”

That’s where residents come in.“It’s extremely valuable because a

neighbourhood-based crime preven-tion project can only succeed if the neighbours take it on,” she said.

“The police can’t do everything, the social services can’t do every-thing, the neighbours have to want change and get involved and the way you are most likely to inspire people to get involved is by positively engag-ing them by listening and making sure that your responses meet their priori-ties.”

Banff-Ledbury is an example of what can be accomplished when people come together, though posi-tive change there didn’t happen over-night.

“It took several years to see the tide turn, to see the investment, the change in ways of working, the way in which the community got involved, and things started to turn around,” said Tonner.

Similar to Banff-Ledbury, ben-efi cial change has emerged in other neighbourhoods, such as Vanier, Lowertown and Pinecrest-Queen-sway, where local community health and resource centres have done simi-lar surveys of residents and agencies.

During study periods between 2006 and 2011, crime went down in each community by 20 to 27 per cent because of a large number of com-munity engagement initiatives that emerged, said Worsfold, adding that initiatives can range from fi xing up parks to holding movies in the park to improving access to services, such as police and health care.

With residents leading the charge, positive inroads in their own neigh-bourhood are more likely to happen, she said.

What will emerge following the Herongate survey is unknown at this point, said McDiarmid, but it will likely produce a plan that is unique to that south Ottawa community.

Lifestyle - New Zealanders love their beef as much as their lamb. Here is a popular recipe using a dry rub to fl avour the steak, which is then served over a base of herb-grilled sweet potatoes, sweet peppers and topped with grilled onion. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Refrigeration time: one to 24 hours. Grilling time: 12 to 18 minutes. Serves four.

INGREDIENTS

Steak rub• 15 ml (1 tbsp) each packed brown sugar and salt • 10 ml (2 tsp) each garlic powder, paprika and dried thyme • 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) chili powder • 5 ml (1 tsp) smoked paprika or chipotle powder • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each dry mustard and coarsely ground black pepper

• 4 beef tenderloin or rib-eye steaks (about 175g/6 oz each) • 15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil • 5 ml (1 tsp) fi nely chopped fresh rosemary • 1 clove garlic, minced • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) seasoning salt • 1 to 2 large sweet potatoes • 2 sweet peppers • 1 large red onion

PREPARATION

Steak rub: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, chili powder, smoked paprika, mustard and pepper. Press the rub generously onto both sides of steaks and place them on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

In a medium bowl, mix to-gether the olive oil, rosemary,

garlic and seasoning salt. Peel and slice the sweet potato crosswise, about one centime-tre (1/4 inch) thick and toss in the rosemary oil to coat. Cut each pepper into four wedges. Slice the onion into one centi-metre (1/4 inch) thick rings.

Place the veggies on a greased grill over high heat. Grill covered for three to four minutes or until they’re tender, turning occasionally. Place the sweet potatoes, peppers and onions in separate bowls. Keep the vegetables warm.

Reduce the grill heat to me-dium-high and grill the steaks for about four to fi ve minutes per side, or until desired done-ness is reached. On each plate, place several slices of sweet potato, a wedge of each pepper, and a steak. Top with onions.

ADDING ONE OR MORE OF THESE FEATURES CAN MAKE YOUR HOME THE ONE BUYERS WANT.

R0012806422

Ultimate backyard – 5 features Making the most of your backyard living space can make your home stand out from all the others on the market, and can even increase its value. You want to make it as inviting as possible, and for potential buyers http://www.4ottawahomes.com/index.php to imagine themselves in the space, relaxing, barbequing, eating, and entertaining.

Here are five features you could add to your yard that would make your home desirable to buyers www.4ottawahomes.com. They vary in the amount of money and time to accomplish, but will all add value and increase your ability to sell.

Outdoor kitchens are very popular. They can be expensive depending on what you include and the type of surfaces. In addition to a barbeque, you can have an oven, outdoor fridge, counters and a sink. They are usually part of a patio with table and chairs.

Lighting is a feature that is often overlooked or tacked on as an afterthought. However, proper lighting makes your outdoor spaces far more inviting, usable and safe. “Nightscaping” both front and back yards can highlight your landscaping, walkways, buildings, and thereby greatly improve curb appeal.

Adding a fire feature, in the form of a fire

pit or chiminea, makes a cozy gathering spot in the evenings, and can extend the season. Fire pits can be portable, or built in, using stone, brick or concrete.

Water features are an attractive addition to any yard. Whether you choose a simple small pond, or a more elaborate pond with waterfall, a water feature can encompass plant life and fish, and may attract desirable wildlife. If you choose moving water, the sound can mask nearby noise and create a peaceful oasis.

Wildflower or herb gardens can be added, either in the ground or in pots. They are beautiful, and may increase visitors such as butterflies, and add wonderful scent.

Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia, better known to anyone who has ever had it as a severe pain, usually in the heel of the foot.

The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that originates at the heel bone and extends under the arch and joins the tissue under the balls of the feet. The purpose of this band of tissue is to maintain the arch of the foot by binding bones, muscle, ligaments and soft tissue. When the arch flattens (known as a fallen arch), the plantar fascia may stretch which results in micro tears where it attaches at the heel, causing inflammation. When a person with plantar fasciitis stands and places weight on the foot, the

fascia re-tears resulting in sudden and sharp pain. Pain diminishes with rest but the relief is temporary. The pain worsens with use, often causing a person to overcompensate or adjust their stance, which can lead to leg, knee and even hip pain. The solution is to seek the professional help of a Canadian Certified Pedorthist at BioPed Ottawa. http://www.bioped.com/locations/locations.asp?id=46

What causes Plantar Fasciitis?Plantar Fasciitis can be caused by one or several factors including:

long periods of standing, walking or exercising

unsupportive footwear

ankles http://www.bioped.com/conditions/foot_pain.aspWhat are the treatment options for plantar fasciitis? The first step is to book an appointment with a Canadian Certified Pedorthist at BioPed Ottawa where they specialize in

the casting, manufacturing and fitting and modification of custom-made orthotics. Custom made orthotics control and/or correct the mechanics which caused the problem by supporting the body’s skeleton muscles and fascia in the correct position and help prevent the problem from reoccurring.

There are many different types of custom foot orthotics ranging from dress to sport which are manufactured from multiple types of materials. Rigid orthotics can be made of thin, strong materials which fit within any shoe, from skates, golf shoes and even dress shoes. Semi-rigid orthotics are made of shock-absorbing materials which are moulded with support systems and crafted to relieve high pressure areas. Rigid and semi-rigid orthotics can be made with higher sides and thicker materials to custom fit a patient’s needs. No one will know you are wearing orthotics, except you and your happy feet! For more information on plantar fasciitis and other foot concerns, visit BioPed in Ottawa at one of their four centres (Barrhaven, Orleans, Kanata, Westgate Mall) or Contact them www.bioped.com/locations/locations.

News - With the opening July 12 of the Earl-Armstrong Bridge that now connects Riverside South and Bar-rhaven, Mark Rogers is look-ing forward to shaving half an hour off his commute to work in Kanata.

“It’s more time with my kids, home quicker to help with dinner, just more time at home,” said the Riverside South resident, who will re-turn to work in September when his parental leave is fi nished. “I’ll be on it at 7:30 (a.m.) waving to my friends in Barrhaven on my way to work.”

Residents on both sides of the Rideau River as well as politicians from all levels of government were on hand to celebrate the grand-opening of the $50-million bridge, which was initially scheduled for completion in 2012, but suffered delays after the con-struction company went into receivership.

Dean Prigent, who lives in the Chapman Mills neigh-bourhood of Barrhaven, is now looking forward to a fi ve-minute drive to his job at St. Francis Xavier Catho-lic High School in Riverside South.

Since he began teaching there two years ago, he has been commuting through Manotick, which typically took him 25 minutes, some-times longer depending on traffi c.

“I know I have a lot of co-workers in the same boat,” Prigent said the day before the bridge was offi cially opened.

The bridge will also speed up the time it takes him to get his kids from daycare. It will also let him get to students’ after-school games and prac-tices in less time.

“So I’m looking forward to it,” he said. “I like going through Manotick. I like the shops there, but with the traf-fi c (and) the way it was get-ting, some nights the drive home is 40 minutes because everybody has to make a

choice. It’s either A or B.“And now there’s just a

third option, and for Bar-rhaven residents it’s a no-brainer. It’s just across the bridge,” he said.

Lesia Gilbert is looking forward to easier access to Barrhaven amenities, and, in turn, is hopeful more Bar-

rhaven residents will shop at businesses in her community of Riverside South.

“I’m still going to use our local stores as much as possi-ble, but if they’re unavailable it’s nice to have the Barrhaven stores available,” said Gilbert, who sits on the executive of the Riverside South Commu-

nity Association.“We like to support local

businesses, but we don’t have a lot here yet because we’re still a young community,” said Rogers. “So the advantages of being able to go across to Barrhaven for friends, for ac-cess to more businesses and services, I think, is going to

be a huge plus for everyone in Riverside South.”

Others in their Riverside South community are equally excited about the opportu-nities the bridge will mean, while some have expressed concern the bridge could bring trouble.

“They’re a little worried that maybe some of the Bar-rhaven crime might come over,” said Gilbert, adding that some Riverside South resi-dents are also worried about increased traffi c through the growing community as a re-sult of the bridge’s opening.

But Rogers said it’s too early to tell what the traffi c impact will be.

“Those are growing pains when a community gets big-ger and we adapt and services adapt,” he said. “I think any time you’re improving the in-frastructure around a commu-nity, it’s going to draw people to that community, which is only going to mean good things for local businesses and just growth and values of homes.”

New bridge applauded on both sides of Rideau River

News - A young man from Kanata began an unexpected journey in late 2012 when he went to Uganda in a bid to “shake things up” and fi nd himself.

Instead, he found droves of street kids and a new friend with a dream to help them.

Robbie Palmer took up the challenge, and co-founded Kwagala Ministries in Jinja, Uganda with Raoul Mugosa in December, 2012. Now, he is back in Ottawa fundraising for the boys’ home and work-ing for the summer to save up enough money to survive on for another year in Jinja. The whole adventure has been “a great experience,” said Palm-er, and has ignited a passion he never knew he had.

Palmer’s fi rst trip to Ugan-da was in October, 2012 as a sort of post-graduation jour-ney.

“Originally I didn’t really know exactly why I was go-ing to Uganda,” he said.

A cousin of his who had traveled there seven years be-fore had a friend that Palmer could stay with – Raoul Mu-gosa.

During that fi rst trip, Palm-er spent his time teaching computer lessons and would walk into town at night where he was met by groups of street children.

“Every night I was get-ting to know these kids on the street and learning what a street child really was,” said Palmer.

“I learned a lot of them are on the street because they are either homeless from be-ing orphaned or just rejected by their families, or some of them have run away from poor home situations,” he said.

“They grew in my heart a lot,” said Palmer. “I saw the need to help them, so I got re-ally excited when I heard that

Raoul has always had this vi-sion to start a boys’ home.”

With no background in so-cial work and no university degree, Palmer helped Raoul start Kwagala Ministries that same year. By November, Kwagala was on offi cial com-munity-based organization in Jinja, and on Feb. 14 the fol-lowing year, they had their fi rst new family member.

His name is Emma, and he is six years old. His mother died giving birth to him, and his father is an alcoholic, ex-plains Kwagala Ministries’ website. Emma’s older broth-er, who lived in a different home, found Emma living on the street, and asked Mugosa and Palmer to take him in.

Emma was soon joined by many other boys with their own stories of fl eeing to the streets, and Kwagala Minis-tries has been providing for them, feeding them, clothing them and paying for teachers so they can learn enough Eng-lish to go to school.

Kwagala Ministries re-cieves no money from gov-ernment, said Palmer, and relies on fundraisers and do-nations from various places to pay the several thousand dol-lars it costs per month to keep the boys’ home going.

A large part of Palmer’s jobs at the organization, apart from working with the boys day-to-day, is keeping up the website, taking photos, post-ing videos and organizing fundraisers.

Redeemer Christian High School in Nepean is one of a few schools that have done fundraisers for Kwagala.

Palmer’s latest fundraiser is a four-on-four volleyball tournament on July 26. This will be the second volleyball tournament fundraiser Palmer has organized, with last year’s raising $1,700.

Palmer hopes to have 32 teams for the event, which will take place at the beach

volleyball courts at 4500 Liet-rim Rd.

Despite the fundraisers, keeping the boys’ home going has been a struggle at times, said Palmer, but overall the project has gone better than expected.

Palmer and Mugosa were recently able to reunite two of their boys with their families in the hopes that their par-ents are ready to take care of them.

Ultimately, that’s what they want to happen, said Palmer, though Kwagala will continue to check in with the boys.

Like the boys he helps, Palmer has found a new home in Jinja with the Ugandan people, “Some of the happi-est people you’ll ever meet,” he said.

Though Palmer spends his time split between Can-ada and Uganda, working in Canada during the summer to support himself as he spends the rest of the year in Jinja, he hopes to fi nd a job that will allow him to live in Uganda permanently.

News - Members of Boat Smart are travelling coast to coast this sum-mer asking Canadians to share their favourite boating moments on social media to raise funds to send disad-vantaged youth to camp.

Cameron Taylor, president of Boat Smart, was lucky enough to grow up on the water, spending his time on a boat or taking part in water sports. Now, 10 years after founding his company, Boat Smart is donating $1 for every photo shared on Twit-ter, Instagram and Facebook using the hashtag #boatsmartmoment.

“Sharing it with other people is something I really enjoy,” Taylor said. “It really is about celebrating boating in Canada.”

The goal is to raise $10,000 for six camps across the country that gives disadvantaged youth the opportunity

to get out on the water. In Ontario, funds raised will go towards the Tim Hortons Memorial Camp.

“Just seeing them smile, just see-ing them have a great time” is his reason for launching the #boatsmart-moment campaign. “We really want to raise this money for youth

camps.” Driving his motorboat from the

Nepean Sailing Club around Britan-nia Bay, Taylor said that as summer kicks into high gear, boaters should take a moment to ensure everything is ship-shape before heading out on the water.

“We remind boaters, especially at this time of year, to check their safety equipment,” he said.

Ensure there’s a fl ashlight on board and that it has working bat-teries, that there’s a functioning fi re extinguisher in motorboats, and that those on board are wearing personal

fl oatation devices. “More than 86 per cent of boat-

ing-related drowning would have been prevented is people were wear-ing their life jackets,” Taylor said. “The unexpected can happen, you can get into trouble.”

And think twice before popping the tab on that beer, he added.

“Alcohol is still a factor in 39 per cent of boating fatalities,” he said. “Many boaters don’t realize the ef-fects of alcohol are up to four-times greater (on the water) than on land.”

Nationally, the average number of boating fatalities has dropped from 150 a year to 120 deaths annually.

“Unfortunately we do see fatali-ties every year,” he said. “We’re try-ing to get that to zero.”

Close to half the national popu-lation goes boating every year; just make sure to do it safely, said Tay-lor.

“It’s part of our heritage. It’s like hockey in the winter,” he said. “Just do it safely.”

Boat Smart offers an online course for pleasure craft licences, which are good for life and can be obtained at any age. For more information, visit boatsmartexam.com.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE

By Marty Clement, Leader EY’s Professionals [email protected] (613) 598-4894

This is one of a series of several articles

intended to build awareness about the

impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO.

In addition to the spiritual and community

benefi ts of gifting to a registered charity,

naming a registered charity as a benefi ciary

in your Will can also be an effective way

to minimize the fi nal income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning,

a deceased’s income tax liability could

be signifi cant. Various income inclusions

at the time of death, such as deemed

capital gains and the fair market value of an

RRSP can result in a higher than expected

estate income tax liability given Canada’s

graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash

legacies, bequests of real or personal

property, securities, life insurance proceeds

and all or part of the residue of the estate.

All of these gifts can potentially generate

tax credits available to reduce an estate’s

income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting

of certain types of capital property to

Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will

may avoid capital gains but still maximize

the tax credits available from such a gift.

Please feel free to contact any member

of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee

for more information about minimizing the

tax liability of your estate and how you can

make a lasting impact on the kids and

families at CHEO. We would be happy to

help you create your Forever CHEO legacy

for generations of CHEO patients.

If you are interested in fi nding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

[email protected] or (613) 738-3694 cheofoundation.com

Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be signifi cant
