Edwards’ Orange Lodge celebrates 100 years with makeover, partyEmma [email protected]

News – Any centenarian will gain a few wrinkles along the way; the Orange Lodge in Edwards is no exception.

Osgoode Township High School teacher Ryan Camp-bell has been busy putting the fi nal touches on the building’s makeover in honour of its 100th year on Mitch Ow-ens Road near Yorks Corners Road.

“She’s 100 years old and she’s showing her scars,”

Campbell said. “We’re trying to cover some of them up.”

The small, white building next to the post offi ce has had its fl oor fi xed and new carpet installed, and the main hall has been freshly painted. The outside has also been fresh-ened up, and a sign has been added above the main entrance to identify the otherwise easy-to-miss Lodge 2297.

All of this work is leading up to a 100th anniversary cel-ebration on Sunday, Aug. 24 to pay tribute to the families who built the area and to rec-

ognize the signifi cance of the Lodge to the surrounding area. Orangemen were traditionally Protestant Irish immigrants who were loyal to King Wil-liam III of Orange, who de-feated the army of the Catholic king, James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.

Between 1 and 5 p.m., visi-tors can enjoy a barbecue at the lodge styled on their annu-al picnics at the Switzer farm – complete with the traditional sausages, beef on a bun and ice cream.

“These guys loved ice cream,” Campbell said. “I think it was a real novelty.”

The open house will in-clude information panels and a documentary about the lodge that, by default, also includes a bit of Edwards’ heritage. “You end up telling the story of Ed-wards in a way, because the families were so interwoven,” said Campbell, who has been researching the lodge’s history for about two years.

“In some ways this was the closest thing they had to a community centre.”

HISTORY LESSON

Campbell has been work-ing to collect old photographs, memorabilia and meeting minutes for the past two years. He’s spent many weekends painting, sanding and fi xing up the building.

Campbell is hoping to tell the stories of the Mitchell, Quinn, McKeown, Bradley, Waddell, McCooeye, Harri-son, James, Dancy and Patter-son families who helped shape the lodge and the larger com-munity.

It was an Orangeman who donated the land on York’s

Corners for the park in Ed-wards, as well as the land for the church.

“It was more than a meeting place,” he said. “It has housed town hall meetings, teen danc-es, euchre and crokinole par-ties. It was also used by the Edwards Anglican Church to host communal suppers.”

Edwards was growing at the turn of the 20th century, thanks to the Ottawa-New York railway that cut through the town. In 1898, one of the lodge’s founding members do-nated land on the north side of Mitch Owens to build a train station.

In June of 1914, the lodge was built. It was never the bus-iest lodge in the world; Camp-bell said the records show membership peaked at about 30 men, and regular meetings

usually averaged about 12 members at any given time.

Today, the lodge has eight members, and Campbell is defi nitely the youngest. He joined the lodge several years ago in an effort to get in touch with his own heritage, as his grandfather had been a mem-ber there since the 1950s.

As the building’s 100th anniversary ticked closer, he began to research the organi-zation’s involvement in the community.

He uncovered much more than just his own family’s his-tory; the city dweller also be-gan to feel at home in his ad-opted township, where he also teaches.

He’s also been turning up artifacts members had forgot-ten were housed in the lodge, including one bible with a

tragic story. An inscription in this bible

– older than the building it lives in – is from Andrew Cur-ren and his wife, thanking the Edwards Orangemen for their support in their time of need.

A documentary Campbell plans to screen on Aug. 24 fi lls in the back story: early on Christmas day 1912, Cur-ren and his wife went out to hitch up the horses, leaving their children to sleep a little longer.

They returned to fi nd their farmhouse engulfed in fl ames, and burning so quickly they could do little but stand and watch it burn.

Three children died in the fi re, ages 13, 9 and 2, and the Curren family left the town-ship for the city soon after.

Curren was a dedicated Or-

angeman, and his fellows do-nated $20 to the family to help with expenses.

Only the bible and an ar-chived newspaper article re-main to hint at the local trag-edy.

Campbell said these stories need to live on, even if the building doesn’t last forever.

“Interpret the Orangemen as you like, but don’t forget about it,” he said, referring to the perception that Orange-men are anti-Catholic.

He said in rural areas like Edwards, where it was pre-dominantly Protestant any-way, the anti-Catholic rhetoric from the urban centres wasn’t needed.

“More than anything it was a place for these men to get together, to get away from the farm and the wife and kids,”

Campbell said. It was more a political orga-

nization than a charitable one, although its sister group, the co-ed True Blue Association, was built more on charitable and social activities.

Today, the Edwards Orange Lodge is much more inter-ested in charitable work than politics.

For the past three years, the group has hosted a three-pitch tournament in Metcalfe in support of testicular can-cer research, which has raised $1,000 to date.

They also regularly col-lect small change as part of the Dimes for Dialysis cam-paign, which is donated to the Winchester District Memorial Hospital’s dialysis unit.

The lodge is located at 8922 Mitch Owens Rd.

News - A Manotick man has been fi ned $2,500 for illegally dredging shore lands along the St. Lawrence River.

The man pleaded guilty to unlawfully dredging shore lands or causing shore lands to be dredged contrary to the Public Lands Act and its asso-ciated regulations.

The court heard that on June 18, 2013, a conservation offi cer on marine patrol in the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands observed heavy equipment removing

gravel and rock. The activ-ity was an attempt to modify a boathouse, and was taking place below the high water-mark.

The offi cer subsequently determined that the work was carried out without a permit.

Justice of the Peace Er-nest Parsons heard the case in the Ontario Court of Jus-tice, Brockville, on August 6, 2014.

The public is reminded that dredging or fi lling shore land is prohibited unless the Min-istry of Natural Resources and Forestry has issued a work

permit. Shoreline work has the potential to negatively af-fect numerous fi sh species that depend on shore lands during spawning and early life stages. More information on work permits is available at

www.ontario.ca/environ-ment-and-energy/crown-land-work-permits.

To report a natural resourc-es violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) toll-free any time or contact your local min-istry offi ce during regular busi-ness hours. You can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

News – George McLean Park in Manotick is set for a makeover this fall.

The city of Ottawa will replace the aging play structures at the park on McLean Drive on Long Island with new plastic and steel structures for kids ages two to 12.

The $144,000 “lifecycle replacement proj-ect” will start mid-October and wrap up by the end of that month, according to Leo Moris-sette, acting manager of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services at the city.

The current playground was installed in

the mid-1990s and includes a tire swing, a merry-go-round and double bay swings. The new playground will also include an updated merry-go-round of sorts – the old one is com-ing out for safety reasons – as well as swings for tots and older kids. The tire swing will be replaced with a bowl swing. The new park will also add a series of climbing features, talk tubes and activity panels, including some with braille and sign language. The sand surface around the park will be replaced with engi-neered wood chips.

The skating rink and sports court beside the playground will not be changed or upgraded as part of the project.

George McLean Park on Long Island in Manotick will be rejuvenated with new play structures this fall.

News - Organizers of an all-candidates information session at the Osgoode Youth Associa-tion hope to inform young vot-ers in the lead-up to this fall’s municipal election.

All but one of Osgoode Ward’s candidates have con-fi rmed their attendance at the youth centre on Tuesday, Aug. 26 to chat with voters and ex-plain their platforms.

It’s not a debate; the free event will simply offer candi-dates a chance to engage with their youngest voters and an-swer any questions they might have.

Outgoing Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson will kick off the evening at 7 p.m. with a ‘politics 101’ session explain-ing how municipal elections work – and what’s at stake for voters.

“It’s perfect on a number of levels,” said O-YA director Ni-cole McKerracher. “He’s the outgoing councillor, and he’s been through the ranks includ-ing the role of mayor.”

Thompson said he’ll en-courage young voters – and the even younger future voters – to get involved in their com-munities.

“You can bring the youth to

a drop-in centre, but they have to give back to the commu-nity,” Thompson said “I want them to get that even if they’re not old enough to vote, they should be out meeting the can-didates and developing a good relationship with the success-ful candidate.”

As for the council hopefuls, he’ll make sure they know what they’re getting into.

“I think by and large they have an idea of what it is to be a city councillor represent-ing a rural community, but I’m going to outline the roles and responsibilities, some of the things people don’t think a city councillor would do.”

That includes helping resi-dents fi nd the social assistance they need, and making tough behind-the-scene decisions.

“There’s always that deci-sion that you’re not sure how it’s going to work out, and there can be long-lasting rami-fi cations,” he said.

So far, candidates Tom Daw-

son, Kim Sheldrick, George Darouze, Jean Johnston-McKitterick, Bruce Faulkner, Liam Maguire and Davis Jer-macans have confi rmed they will be at the event. As of press time candidate Bob Masaro had not responded.

Each candidate will get some time to address the audi-ence, talk about their platform and discuss youth issues in the ward.

The youth centre’s program co-ordinator Carley Scharf is a young voter herself, and the idea for an information night came from her own quest for knowledge as the municipal election on Oct. 27 ticks clos-er.

“I just don’t know what’s going on,” said the 20-year-old. “I can read it in the paper, but it’s all in political lingo. (So I thought), what if we can bring it down to everyone’s level.”

She said students learn about Canada’s political sys-tem in elementary school and then don’t put it into practice until they’re 18 or older.

“I’m hoping (the event) clears up some of that mis-understanding that a lot of us have,” Sharf said. “We just want to give that opportunity for education.”

The night is geared to vot-ers aged 18 to 30, but McKer-racher said the event is open for anyone looking to meet the candidates and learn more about the election. The youth centre is located at 5479 Os-goode Main St.

News - Scott Buell can’t go to car shows right now, so his family is bringing a car show to him.

The 45-year-old Metcalfe resident was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer in May, and has now learned the cancer has spread to his liver, bowels and stomach. Doctors have giv-en him three years to live.

He’s undergoing intense chemotherapy at the moment to slow the cancer down and, hopefully, rid him of it entire-ly.

The treatments have tired him out, so he hasn’t been able to make the rounds to his fa-vourite summer car shows as he usually does.

That’s why his family has decided to bring a car show right to him.

“He can go around, look at the cars, talk to people,” said his wife Robyn Buell. “It’s just basically having a fun day. We want to get my husband out there to enjoy it.”

On Saturday, Aug. 23 guests can come to the Metcalfe Fair-grounds to check out cars of all ages between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.

The event is a fundraiser to help pay for those day to day expenses not covered under health care: transportation to the Queensway Carleton Hos-pital, parking fees and even some of his chemotherapy drugs.

It will include a silent auc-tion, raffl e and 50/50 draw, with Ottawa Senators tickets,

original art, gift baskets, free massages and restaurant gift cards up for grabs. Tickets for the raffl e and 50/50 are three for $5 or 10 for $10.

Proceeds from a barbecue lunch will also add to the cof-fers to help the Buells get by without their breadwinner at work.

“He was the sole supporter of our family and all of a sud-den he’s not working,” she said, noting there was a two-month delay before his disability pay-ments began.

But Robyn said raising mon-ey is secondary to making sure her husband has a good time. She and their two children pur-posely planned the event on a “good week” between chemo treatments, so he can have as much energy as possible to talk to the car owners, get more in-formation about his favourite cars, and spend time with his family.

Buell has always been a ‘car

guy’; he’s worked for Dodge for more than 25 years, most recently at Ottawa Dodge in the parts department for the past six. His colleagues are ac-cepting car registrations for the show at [email protected], and have been collecting donations and raffl e prizes on the family’s behalf.

“He’s been a good employee for us,” said parts department manager Jean Meloche. “We want to raise funds for him and his family.”

Robyn said most of the event is still a surprise for Buell, who she said was touched when his family told him it was happen-ing.

“I think it will be an emo-tional day for him,” she said.

The event coincides with the weekly Metcalfe farmers’ mar-ket, which begins at 8 a.m.

For more information or to donate to the family, visit you-caring.com and search ‘Scott Buell.’

News – Josée-Lucie Bas-tien won’t be sad to say good-bye to her long, black hair this week.

“I’m very excited for some-body to wear my hair,” said the owner of the Pedicure Stop in Manotick Station. “Someone who’s going through hell can

have a good day of smiling.”The foot care specialist will

host her own day of smiles on Aug. 23 with a fundraising barbecue at her salon at 6150 Mitch Owens Rd.

Between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., guests can check out Bastien’s new look, as she’ll have chopped off more than two feet of hair to end up with a drastically different style.

While those 27 inches will head to Locks of Love to make wigs, the money she raises in support of her makeover will go to the Ottawa Humane So-ciety.

Bastien decided to support the animal shelter after she heard of a puppy mill that had been seized by the RCMP in Quebec.

She said the puppies

had been held in tiny cages stacked on top of each other, so the dogs were peeing and defecating on each other until they were rescued.

“I went to help and I cried the whole time,” Bastien said. “Animal cruelty just breaks my heart.”

The motivation behind her makeover is even more per-sonal.

“In 1997 I lost my grand-mother, who was everything to me. She had cancer, and when I saw her with no hair it really bothered me,” Bastien said. “I said some day I would do it in her name.”

Bastien said she hopes her hair can be made into two wigs: one for a woman and another for a child.

On Aug. 23, guests can bring their cats and dogs for their own mini-makeover from Amazing Looks, and Bastien has gathered a number of prizes – some worth more than $250 – to be raffl ed off.

Prizes include rounds of golf at Emerald Links Golf and Country Club, gift certifi -cates for beauty procedures, pet supplies gift baskets and a weekend away at Sleepy Ce-dars Family Camping.

Tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5.

Staff at the Pedicure Stop will also offer nail polish and designs for visitors.

Coun. Doug Thompson said he has come to know Bastien since she opened her shop a few years ago, and he has been impressed with her interest in serving the local community.

“She’s a very hard worker and very community ori-ented,” Thompson said. “It’s

a really good cause for the humane society. There are so many dogs across the city and there’s a lot of work that needs to be done to protect dogs and

cats.”Donations can be made di-

rectly on Bastien’s fundraising page through myfundraiser.kintera.org.


Josée-Lucie Bastien will cut off her long, black hair this week in support of the Ottawa Humane Society and Locks of Love.

Published weekly by:

Premier Kathleen Wynne was in town re-cently to help Mayor Jim Watson celebrate the halfway mark of construction on the Confederation line tunnel.

She also re-affi rmed the province’s commitment to funding the second phase of the light rail project, and both Wynne and Watson took time to push the federal government to make a similar pledge.

Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau would only go so far as saying when a plan for Phase 2 was presented, it would be considered in due course by the federal government.

The push by the mayor and the premier may be political theatre – Watson is seeking re-election this fall – but the current predicament should not be ignored by voters in Ottawa.

The $2.5-billion Phase 2 is scheduled to begin sometime after the initial Tunney’s Pasture to Blair Road section is completed in 2018. Moving forward with light rail, ensuring trains are running from Bayshore to Orléans, is of vital importance to the future of the city. As Ottawa grows, it will become

more important with each passing year for residents to be served by an effi cient mass transit system.

With that in mind, city council and the province must be willing to acknowledge the possibility that federal funding for the project – which would amount to around $975 million – won’t be made available. The recent attitude of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government has been to steer clear of direct investment in areas it believes are of provincial responsibility.

It’s diffi cult to say that funding a project in the capital wouldn’t be treated differently, but the city and province can’t afford to wait around for federal money to be made available. Plan B needs to be determined. Whether that means moving forward with one leg of Phase 2 or another is up to council to decide, but failing to establish an alternative, one that isn’t dependent upon federal funding, would be negligent.

Ottawa needs a transit system built for the 21st century, whether the federal government wants to play along or not.

In the summer many of us become Ontario road warriors. We discover new roads and rediscover old ones. On the old

roads there are always changes, some for the good, some not so much.

The roads themselves are often better. The Trans-Canada, Highway 17, heading north and west has some rough spots, but it is so much better than it used to be. The continual addition of passing lanes has made the driving easier and safer, not to mention less tense. It is reassuring, when stuck behind somebody going slow (meaning: at the speed limit), to know that a passing lane will open up just a couple of minutes. The knowl-edge makes us more patient and safer drivers.

There has also been good work

done on roadside picnic areas, havens for people wanting to save money on restaurant food or simply wanting a bathroom break.

Where things look worse is in the area of local economies. It is depress-ing to see the “closed” sign on once-favourite restaurants, gas stations and motels. Along the highway and in the small towns between here and the Manitoba border, there are more boarded-up buildings every year, with only chain operations seeming

to thrive.To be fair, there are some towns

along the way that look like they are doing all right. The stores and restaurants are newly-painted and the grass on the baseball diamond has been cut. There is still some pulp and paper activity and the growth in mining brings hope. And of course the scenery, except for the odd stretch west of Thunder Bay, is compelling.

Mind you, there are always some stretches of boredom in a two- or three-day drive. This is when we are grateful for the folks who write the signs that are supposed to help us with our driving. They tell you not to drink and drive, as if the thought had never occurred to you. They also tell you to stop texting and just drive, which is more germane. They tell

you that LARGE VEHICLES NEED MORE ROOM, another “aha!” mo-ment. However, our favourite this year, fi rst glimpsed near Wahnapitae east of Sudbury, is: DRIVE AC-CORDING TO CONDITIONS.

Really? Two images spring to mind. One is of a guy going 150 km/h in pitch dark, dense fog and pour-ing rain who suddenly sees the sign and thinks: “Wow! I never thought of that. Better slow down. And perhaps turn my headlights on.”

The other image is of the inevi-table committee meeting where this slogan was adopted. The members would gather in a windowless board-room with bottles of water and try to come up with just the right wording, one that would be easily understood, translate well and not be offensive to anyone. Possible options would be fl ashed in PowerPoint on a large screen, such as “Use Steering Wheel to Turn Car” or “Employ Brakes to

Slow Down.”In the end, after lengthy discus-

sion, “Drive According to Condi-tions” would appear to be the best option. Ontario road warriors thank the committee and urge it to Think According to Intelligence.

Faith groups ramp up Capital Pride participationEmma [email protected]

News – Reverend Ross Hammond has been marching in Ottawa’s Capi-tal Pride parade for at least 10 years.

For the past three, he’s had his ru-ral parish alongside him.

Wearing his clerical collar and a rainbow stole, as many as 25 parish-ioners have joined him on the march downtown, which this year takes place Sunday, Aug. 24.

Hammond has led the congrega-tion at St. James the Apostle Angli-

can Church in Manotick since 2010, and every year more of his parishio-ners have joined him and his husband Albert to show their support.

And in 2013, his parish coun-cil voted unanimously to offi cially march as the St. James congrega-tion.

“I said, if we make it formal, we can take the church banner with us. And the discussion was basically, well, why wouldn’t we?” Hammond said.

That kind of blasé response to be-coming an affi rming house of wor-

ship is more commonplace than ever; the perception that all faith groups are like the infamous gay marriage picketers in Kansas is just not accu-rate.

“Last year, in our little part of the parade, there were Anglicans, a Jew-ish group, a Catholic group and a Muslim group,” Hammond said.

Reaching out to marginalized fac-tions of society is a big part of his congregation’s Christian calling – and since he’s gay, this seems to be the group on which they’ve alighted.

And there’s certainly room for their support.

“There are people out there who have been ostracized and shunned and damaged by their religious com-munity,” Hammond said.

“They look at a bunch of obvious Christians marching, holding signs that say ‘To love is to be connected to God’ ... that sends a message to

a person of a sexual minority that they’re not excluded.”

Despite a steady rise in the number of faith groups taking part in Pride, Hammond said there are still people out there who don’t realize religious groups can be just as affi rming and welcoming as other orga-nizations.

“As the church begins to march, it’s not a cheer you get for the gyrating bodies, but there is a distinct cheer for us. There are enough people on the side who are surprised,” Hammond said.

“And every year, at least one of our group will have some-one from the sidelines make their way into the parade to say thank you.”

His congregation is support-ive overall, but Hammond rec-ognizes he’ll never have 100 per cent unanimity on the issue – and that’s perfectly fi ne.

“One person said to me, ‘I’m very fond of you and Al-bert, but my concern is that by supporting the parade as an organization we are support-ing everything that goes with that parade.’ And that was a le-

gitimate concern,” Hammond said.

He wants everyone in his congregation to feel comfort-able talking out the issue, and their concerns about how the church supports the LGBT community.

“We want everybody, in-cluding the person who said the parade is a bad idea, to feel like our church is a safe place.”

Every year, there are more affi rming churches and places of worship coming on board. The United Church of Canada seems to be leading the way on this, having developed a bu-reaucratic process to become an offi cially affi rming congre-gation.

Affi rm United requires an educational process, accord-ing to its website, that asks its churches to “refl ect on what it means to be inclusive,” create an action plan, commit to the national affi rmation program and implement an inclusive marriage policy.

The process concludes with a celebration service to offi -cially declare the church a wel-coming place for all.

United Church-goer Myles Frosst is a member of the Ot-tawa presbytery’s new diver-sity committee, and he’s been scrambling to compile a list of LGBT-friendly faith groups in Ottawa in time for Capital Pride’s community fair, which takes place after the parade.

It’s by no means exhaustive, but Frosst said it includes Unit-ed, Catholic, Lutheran, Angli-can and Presbyterian churches, as well as at least one syna-gogue and the same Muslim prayer group Hammond saw last year.

The Universalist Muslims

last year marched alongside residents of Faith House, an interfaith group that lives in a house in Sandy Hill with a mandate to promote social jus-tice.

“(The Universalist Muslims) and our house together formed the Spiritual Progressives, and

we marched under that ban-ner,” said Caroline John, a member of Faith House.

The house has room for six residents, who generally stay two years and are expected to be queer affi rming, John said.

Right now, the house has Buddhist, Unitarian, Christian/Hindu and agnostic residents who all believe that religious organizations have a role in supporting sexual minorities.

“People come from all walks of life, and you constantly run into people who have repelled religion out of their lives be-cause it’s been a contradiction to them or a negative source in their life,” John said. “And that’s just not how it’s sup-posed to be.”

Hammond said the presence of religious groups in Pride needs to continue to grow – not just to promote the idea of af-fi rming congregations, but to continue to combat homopho-bia altogether.

“The day Albert and I can walk down any street and not worry about holding hands is the day I don’t need to march in the parade,” he said.

News - A group of cabinet mak-ing and furniture technician students from Algonquin College are hoping to make the Guinness Book of World Records with a pepper grinder.

Rod Dagenais, 53, was one of the group of nine students tasked with

crafting the record breaking kitchen utensil.

In the fall, students were asked to volunteer to work on their own time to design and build a nearly fi ve-metre, working pepper grinder to compete against the current record holder, a three-metre grinder that sits in a restaurant in Etobicoke.

Rod Dagenais said the group sac-rifi ced their Friday nights from Octo-ber until August to fi nish the grinder.

“It was really a team effort,” he said, adding the classmates that ranged in age from 18 to 53 became very close.

Student craftsmen include Eric Beuman, James Brint, Andrew Carv-er, Liam Cluff-Clyburne, Rodrigue

Dagenais, Jihad Farhat, Cameron Larsen, Spencer Olivastri and Declan Thomas.

The fi nal design was approved by the professors and used 24 wood splints that were smoothed out with a lathe.

The grinding mechanism was built by welding students.

The grinder was unveiled in col-lege’s construction and trades excel-lence building where it was mounted on two wheeled carts, so that students could show off the working pepper grinding mechanism.

It will be moved to the hospitality building.

“Our students rose to the chal-lenges of the project. We were only really part of the project for safety and mentoring. I am pleased and im-pressed with the workmanship and dedication,” instructor John McKin-lay-Key said in a press release.

Rod Dagenais demonstrates how Algonquin College’s new fi ve-metre pepper grinder works. The college unveiled the grinder on Aug. 14, where it was measured and submitted to the Guinness Book of World Records.

News - For Meg Dussault’s family and friends, the spot where she died while riding her bicycle is the apex of both their pain and their peace.

The corner of Bank Street and Riverside Drive, arguably the most well-tended patch of pavement around, has become a place of refl ection since Dussault, 56, was killed when a cement truck collided with her while turning right at the intersection more than a year ago, on July 30.

It’s a spot her husband, Pad-dy Dussault, knows well. The couple’s home is only a cou-ple minutes away, near Bill-ing’s Estate, so he has to pass by the site of his wife’s death almost any time he wants to go somewhere. But instead of hiding away at home or fi nd-

ing a different route, Dussault fi nds himself drawn to the spot and to the improvised monu-ment that pays respect to his late wife.

Dussault didn’t put the monument there, but the ghost bike, a type of tribute that mysteriously appears thanks to the quick work of strang-ers, has become an important place of solace and focus for his grieving.

“No matter which direction, I put my window down and I say, ‘Hi honey, I love you and I miss you every day,’” he said.

Driving by was how he fi rst discovered the memorial.

“I thought it was a generous gesture from this anonymous ‘group,’ ghost bikes, to have done it,” Dussault said. “It kind of ... Not kind of, it does preserve the memory of Meg for a lot of people.”

It’s a place he goes to cel-ebrate holidays like St. Pat-rick’s Day and Canada Day – lovingly tending to potted hibiscus, sweeping away dead leaves, repainting the bike, adding a new rosary. Seasonal decorations like a Winterlude Inuksuk drew a lot of atten-tion, Dussault said.

“It’s a memorial not un-like a gravestone in a cem-etery, but there is something a little more joyous about this,” Dussault said.

He’s not alone. Meg Dussault’s three closest friends – pals from grade school who always stayed in touch – agree the bike has helped them fi nd a way to face the tragedy head on and work to move past it.

“To me, standing here, I’m a little bit baffl ed why I can look at where she was killed and know how violent it was, yet it brings me peace,” said Kathy Riley. “I can’t explain it, but we all feel very peace-ful when we come here.”

“It really is like an aura,” said another friend, Tina Be-langer. “I feel like I’m close to Meg when I’m here.

“I don’t have a sense of tragedy when I’m here and I feel that’s really strange.”

Seemingly more so than other roadside memorials, the stark white bikes have an im-pact on passersby.

“They are really profound, quite visual and they get the point across,” said Rob Wilkin-son, who runs the city’s road safety program. He often fi nds himself mediating discussions about traffi c tragedies and the memorials that follow them.

Ghost bikes are a gamble, Wilkinson said. They can serve a critical role in people’s

mourning processes, but on the other hand, the surprise memorials could do more harm than good.

“We’re in a delicate balance because we have some people who want their relatives to be remembered and we have other people who don’t and in the middle is the community ghost bike thing,” he said.

No one group or person claims responsibility for the ghost bikes, which have be-come a phenomenon across North America and the rest of the world, Wilkinson said.

“The one thing I know is that it is exceptionally organic in nature,” he said. He added that’s the same tact most peo-ple would like the city to take

when it comes to addressing long-term plans for the ghost bike memorials, which cur-rently number about four in Ottawa.

“Not only is it a memorial to Meg’s memory, you hope that it causes people in both cars and bikes to pause and think about their safety (and) slowing down,” Dussault said.

REFLECTING ON SUMMER 2014

With the summer almost over and fall just around the corner, it’s a good time to reflect on what has been a productive few months.

I visited all corners of our city this summer and was reminded once again just how

Bay; to festivals around Ottawa like those celebrating our Italian, Lebanese, and Indian communities; to fairs like those in Navan, Gloucester, and Carp (upcoming), and music festivals for blues, folk, chamber, and jazz; Ottawa has not been short on places to visit and things to do this summer.

In this busy summer two events stand out to me. The first of which was the opening

been working on since I was first elected as a City Councillor in 1991. To see the

an eyesore in the centre of our city but now it is finally coming to life as a place that residents can be proud of and visitors will come to see. It was a long road getting to

Lansdowne again and watching them enjoy the different elements of the site has been one of the highlights of my summer.

The second event that stands out for me from summer 2014 is marking the 50% completion mark of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) tunnel. This was another project that saw many stops and starts, redesigns, and second guesses. But this council set those

in Ottawa in decades. To be able to go down in the tunnel and walk through almost

changer the LRT is going to be for Ottawa and its residents. And to meet and thank some of those highly skilled workers who are doing the tunneling work made the day that much better.

It has been a busy summer but one that I look back on fondly. I hope that yours too was an enjoyable one and that we can get a few more weeks of summer weather before the leaves turn.

The air was heavy in the summer kitch-en. Spices, boiling sugar, and sealers

in a pot of hot water, fi lled the small space with a sweet steam, covering the two little windows and causing Mother to take a swipe at her face with her big white apron whenever she had a free hand.

It was pickling and preserv-ing time on the farm in Ren-frew County.

The swinging shelf, in the dug-out that served as our cel-lar, was just about bare, and what Mother was “putting down” would see us through the winter at least, and hope-fully until the next crop of produce was ready for pick-ing.

The summer had been good to our garden. Soft rainy days, hot sun, and cool evenings guaranteed a good crop of vegetables, and the raspberries from our back bush, strawber-ries growing along the railway tracks, and chokecherries from

trees heavy with fruit, were all turned into jams, jellies and preserves.

The crops were so ample, that Mother even had enough to peddle in Renfrew on Sat-urdays with her eggs, home-made butter, chickens and sticky buns. Yes, the summer had been good to us.

My sister Audrey, much older than I was, helped Mother, but I was considered too young to do much more than hull berries, or pick beans out of the garden. As long as I was in on the action that was enough to satisfy me, how-ever, and I was grateful to at least have a hand in what was going on for days in the sum-

mer kitchen.“Putting down” was always

like a miracle to me. Especial-ly when it came to the yellow beans that grew in great abun-dance in our garden. When I was sent out to bring in an-other dishpan full of yellow beans, I managed to eat almost as many as I picked.

Mother trusted me to pick only those that were ready for “putting down,” and to leave the smaller ones which would grow into a good length before you knew it.

I would put the dishpan of beans on the bake table, and take a tin pail and go to the pump in the yard and bring in fresh water and pour it into

the pan. It was my job then to wash each bean -- not a hand-ful at a time, but one bean after another Then they were laid out on a clean tea towel, and patted dry.

Mother fed them into big sealers, poured in the boiling brine, put lids on tightly, and turned the jars upside down, and there they sat for two days – not one day, not three days, but two days.

Mother said the timing was important according to Aunt Bertha Thom on the next farm, who taught Mother everything she knew about putting down preserves and vegetables for the winter.

The pot of spices simmer-ing on the back of the Findlay Oval would be for the pick-led beets. The day before, they had been boiled, cooled, skinned, and were ready for slicing. And then they would join the long line of pickles on the swinging shelf in the dugout.

Pickling and preserving

went on for weeks. As crops ripened, they were turned into crisp pickles, preserves, jellies and jams with the sole purpose of seeing us through the long cold winters that were commonplace in Ren-frew County, often cutting us off from going even as far as Briscoe’s General Store a few miles away.

But we needn’t worry about ever wanting for something to put on the supper table. By the time the fall weather started, the smoke house would be full of meat, the shelves in the dugout heavy with sealers, and soon the sauerkraut bar-rel would be in a corner of the summer kitchen alongside the salt pork.

There never seemed to be enough money for frivolous spending on such luxuries as new hair ribbons when the ones I had could be washed and ironed, or long white stockings when last year’s beige ones were perfectly fi ne, but we always had ample food

to put on the table.Father, believed it was

a poor farmer indeed, who in spite of the Depression, couldn’t feed his family.

We were indeed poor in the true sense of the word, but our bellies were full, there was enough wood to keep the Findlay Oval hum-ming through the winter, the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina kept clothes on our backs, our entertain-ment was self-made, and good neighbours were always there to lend a helping hand.

And when I saw that swing-ing shelf in the dug-out laden with winter stores, I knew for a fact, we were very rich in-deed.

Sports – Every soccer play-er worth his cleats dreams of one day playing in the World Cup.

Greely teen Haydn Bechthold is closer to realiz-ing that dream as he spends eight days at the Real Madrid training facility in Spain this week, learning with some of the top youth players in the world.

The 16-year-old Ottawa Fury Academy forward was scouted for the prestigious spot last month, at a New Jersey game in the SuperY League, of which his Fury team is a part.

Fury lost, but Bechthold played well. After the game, a man he didn’t know shook his hand and complimented his ability on the fi eld.

Bechthold thought nothing of it.

The next week, his coach, Christian Hoefl er, told him

the man was Luis Mendoza, director of coaching for the Real Madrid Select Program. Mendoza had personally in-vited Bechthold to join about 35 other elite youth players in Spain between Aug. 16 and 24.

“I was sleeping on the bus, and I thought, ‘was I dream-ing that?’” Bechthold said. “You never really think you’re going to go to Madrid.”

The blonde-haired teen left on Saturday, Aug. 16 to join his peers from US, Mexico and Brazil in Spain. He is the only Canadian in the group.

The group will follow an intense schedule of advanced technical and tactical training, on-fi eld problem solving, per-formance evaluations and pre-season preparation.

They’ll also play two matches: one against the Real Madrid Academy team, and another against the Rayo Val-lecano youth academy.

Possibly the best part is the chance to watch matches

between Real Madrid and Athletico Madrid - meaning they’ll see football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in action.

That alone is a dream come true for the teen, who watched nearly every single World Cup game this summer.

Bechthold said being head-hunted for this opportunity left him a bit gobsmacked while he rushed to get to Ma-drid with less than a week’s notice.

“It feels like (Mendoza) made a dream team, and it’s weird to say I made it,” he said. “I was pretty happy.”

Ottawa Fury coach Chris-tian Hoefl er said he’s not sur-prised his student was offered this opportunity.

“He’s extremely versatile and extremely dynamic. He’s one who plays very simple and quick,” said Hoefl er, who has been coaching the teen for about a year.

“I wasn’t shocked (when Mendoza chose him). I know he has the ability and I needed

to get him exposed.” Of course, one look at

Bechthold’s heritage tells you everything you need to know about his potential for great-ness.

His grandfather was Rob-ert Kelly, one of the best soc-cer players in Canada in the 1950s and early 1960s. Kelly captained the Canadian All-Stars and the Ontario All-Stars against teams from across the globe, including Mexico, Len-ingrad and Bermuda.

After playing with Ulster United SC in Toronto, he made history when he was traded for $1,500 to play for the Italia SC.

Those skills have proven undeniably hereditary, as they have carried on to both of Bechthold’s sisters, as well: his oldest sister has left for Converse College in South Carolina to play varsity soc-cer on a scholarship, and his younger sister plays for the Ottawa Fury FC Ontario Play-er Development League.

Bechthold said his dream is to play professionally, just like his grandfather – and, at this point, he doesn’t much care where.

“Any team that pays me, I’ll play,” he laughed. He said he would prefer Europe; Eng-land or Germany, if they’ll take him.

“I want to be like (my grandfather),” Bechthold said.

“I want to play professionally to say there were two in the family.”

He’s well on his way to making good on that dream; coaches and scouts from around the world are expected to look in on the training pro-gram while he’s there.

“I just want to be seen and say I played in Madrid against the best kids,” he said.


Sixteen-year-old Haydn Bechthold practices between the makeshift soccer nets in his Greely backyard on Aug. 13 before heading to Madrid, Spain.

Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa

chartered accountant and partner with the

accounting fi rm of Coopers and Lybrand

(now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was

also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation

Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation

for the importance of leaving a legacy and

understood how to make an impact when

he decided to made a gift in his Will to

CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with

instructions for it to be endowed; meaning

that the capital would be preserved in

perpetuity and the annual interest would

be used to fund the important work at

CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985

the CHEO Foundation received $540,000

from his estate and established the Weldon

Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in

his Will. Much has happened and changed

at CHEO since his death and in that time

his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

Moving forward 80 percent of the interest

generated from this fund will be invested in

medical equipment, research and hospital

programs at CHEO. The remaining 20

percent will be reinvested to allow the fund

to continue to grow. In 25 years $6.4 million

(80%) will go to the hospital and $1.6 million

(20%) will be reinvested bringing the total

value of the fund to $6.2 million. In 50 years

$15 million (80%) will go to the hospital

and $3.8 million (20%) will be reinvested

bringing the total value of the fund to $8.4

million. In 100 years $42.2 million (80%) will

go to the hospital and $10.6 million (20%)

will be reinvested bringing the total value

of the fund to $15.2 million.

His legacy lives on and continues to make

a difference in the lives of young patients

at CHEO today, and for future generations.

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary

this year, we look back and honour not

only those in our community who made

our local children’s hospital a reality, but

also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made

children a priority. Why not honour what is

most important to you during your lifetime

by considering a gift in Will to CHEO. Our

children, youth and families deserve to

always have excellent health care, to benefi t

from lifesaving research and be provided

with the support programs to live happy

and healthy lives now and forever.

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

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years

The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what

he could have even imagined when he made it over 30 years ago.

Sports - From scoring to goalkeeping, Greely resident Mollie Eriksson doesn’t sweat the challenge of switching roles from one moment to the next.

That’s one of the reasons her 13- and 14-year-old teammates on the Ottawa South United Force Black 2000 raced in her direction after she helped them win the quarter-fi nal game against the Burlington Bay-hawks on Saturday, Aug. 9.

Moments after scoring what would be the winning point in the penalty shootout in the high-stakes game, the 14-year-old successfully defended her goal.

“When I was taking the shot there was a lot of pressure be-cause I was so nervous,” she said, adding that she was also trying to shoot against a friend whom she plays with on the provincial team.

“I want her to do well, but I want to win.”

There is also a lot on the line since the U14 Ottawa South United players are the defend-ing champions after winning the Ontario Cup last year.

“In a sense it was like clash of the titans,” said Eriksson’s mother, Tracy Vaillancourt, who is a technical coach with the Ottawa South United club. “It’s really nice to see two com-petent keepers doing great.”

The teams tied the score 1-1 during the game, but the penalty shootout gave the Ottawa South United team the opportunity to advance to semifi nal play, which happens at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility next week.

The penalty shootout was a nail-biter. While parents and

supporters cheered on players throughout regular play, the shootout was a silent experi-ence.

“You could hear a pin drop,” Eriksson said.

When it was Eriksson’s turn, she kicked hard to the right of the net-minder.

“When the ref whistled, we all just sprinted towards each other and there was a big dog pile, and everyone was laughing and smiling,” she said. “We’ve been working so hard forever and we all had our minds set on this one goal.”

It can be a gamble allowing keepers to make a shot in this situation because if they are unsuccessful, it can derail their confi dence in defending their net after such a setback.

“I think the gamble paid off,” said Eriksson’s mom, Tracy Vaillancourt. “When I saw her score the goal I felt really confi -dent about what she was going to do next. I had a good feeling that the adrenaline of that suc-

cess was going to translate into making a nice save on the next kick.”

Her daughter didn’t have time to celebrate after scoring. Burlington had one last shot and chance to stay in the game, but the Ottawa South United goaltender dove to the left and kept it from nearing the net.

“I just had to do a low dive,” Eriksson said, adding that she and her teammates really cel-ebrated at that point.

“I think the semifi nals will be cutthroat as will the fi nals,” Vaillancourt said, adding the four remaining teams are for-midable.

“These are the best of the best so it’s going to be very good.”

If they win the Ontario Cup, they will go on to compete at the national level in Prince Ed-ward Island later this fall.

Eriksson is no stranger to fi erce competition on the soc-cer fi eld.

She earned a place on the

provincial team earlier this year. And in January, she became the youngest keeper, at the age of 13, to train in the Regional Exceleration Centre out of To-ronto, which is made up of top-level U20 women players.

Eriksson doesn’t plan to let

the pressure get to her.“I just like to focus on the

game and think in the moment, just let it all happen,” she said. “So if you live in the moment of the game, you enjoy it more and then you concentrate and you play better.”

Annual training camp allows youth to test-drive possible careerErin [email protected]

News – Ryann Seiler and Sophia Villeneuve drop to their hands and knees and peer through their protective facemasks into the pitch black ahead.

They shimmy forward each carrying an axe under a pretend cloud of smoke, keeping less than an arms-length apart as they look for a baby they must rescue.

After a few minutes in the dark, the 15 year olds emerge from the structure carrying the doll. Their instructors Marie-Aude Grandmai-tre and Shannon Gobey follow close behind wearing smiles on their faces.

“Rescuing the baby was fun even though I missed it a couple of times, but she was there to help me,” Seiler said, referring to Villeneuve, her training partner.

Teamwork was a huge component of the skills that 24 young women between the ages of 15 and 19 developed Aug. 11 to 15 while climbing an aerial ladder that rose high in the sky, forcibly entering doorways and conduct-ing search and rescue training at the Ottawa Fire Services’ training division building on In-dustrial Avenue.

Watching the girls on Aug. 12 learn what it takes to do the work she now does as a vol-unteer fi refi ghter brought back memories for Gobey.

She was among the fi rst group of partici-pants to take part in Ottawa’s inaugural Camp FITT, or Female Firefi ghters in Training fi ve years ago.

Modelled after a similar camp in New York state, the program is designed to give young women the opportunity to test drive a career that typically attracts more men.

Of the nearly 900 full-time suppression fi re-fi ghters in Ottawa, 22 are women. And of the 450 volunteer fi refi ghters in the Ottawa fi re de-partment, 29 are women.

“We’re still around two per cent. That’s still a very low number,” said one of the program’s founders, acting Lieut. Louise Hine-Schmidt, a Britan-nia resident who works out of a station in Riverside South.

“The idea is just to show more young women at an age when they’re deciding what they want to do for post-secondary and for a career that this is an opportunity for them,” said Hine-Schmidt, a 15-year fi refi ghting veteran and one of Ottawa’s fi rst three women fi refi ghters. “It’s not about getting more women fi refi ghters, it’s about showing them they can if they choose.”

At 19, Gobey had been hesitant to consider fi refi ghting as a career, think-ing it was a man’s job.

But thanks largely to the encourage-ment of her father, Dennis Gobey, a now-retired Ottawa fi re platoon chief she enrolled in the camp.

“The fi rst day (of the training) I knew what I wanted to do,” the Kars resident said. “Camp really opened my eyes to what fi refi ghting truly is.”

She went on to successfully com-plete Algonquin College’s pre-service fi refi ghter training program, and last

October she was hired as a volunteer fi refi ghter with the North Gower Fire Department.

Villeneuve and Seiler hope to follow in her footsteps, especially after the experiences they had at camp.

“It’s awesome,” said Seiler, a Stittsville resi-dent, who was looking forward to putting out a

controlled car fi re during the training session.Her fi refi ghting partner didn’t know what to

expect when she arrived at the training facility.“But I really love it, and I also love the fact

that you get to help people during fi refi ghting,” said Villeneuve, who lives in Riverside South. “Rescuing the baby today, we got to experience that.”

Her family is very supportive of her dream, while others expressed their doubts.

“Some people think I’m not strong enough, but I’m going to prove them wrong,” she said. “I think I am.”

Each girl who participates in the program often learns something invaluable about them-selves, their strengths and their ability to work together and overcome challenges.

“Did you know the most important thing for me in this camp is I watch these girls the fi rst day, they’re nervous, they’re shy, they’re scared and by the end of the week their confi dence has just gone through the roof?” Hine-Schmidt said.

Watching the teens eagerly await their next challenge, Gobey said the camp is an ideal way to motivate a next generation of young women to fi nd passion in something, just as she did.

“It may not be fi refi ghting for some of them, but just helping them fi nd their direction,” she said. “It really meant the world to me fi nding what I was meant to do.”

The Camp FFIT application process is open from March to May each year. For details, visit ottawa.ca/en/residents/emergency-services/fire-services/summer-firefighting-training-young-women.

By the numbers:• Almost 900: full-time suppression fi refi ghters in Ottawa Fire Services• 450: volunteer fi refi ghters• 81: female Ottawa Fire Services employees• 30: female fi re communications offi cers and fi re prevention offi cers• 51: female fi refi ghters.• 22: female full-time suppression fi refi ghters• 29: female volunteer fi refi ghters

Finding the right dog for you! Looking for the right canine

friend for your family? That perfect match may be right under your nose…you just didn’t know what you were looking for!

The Ottawa Humane Society knows you can’t judge a book by its cover. Sadly, many of the wonderful dogs available for adoption at the OHS are often

overlooked because of their large size or dark colour. Maybe they’re boisterous young dogs that just need some training and a home to call their own where they can chill out. Perhaps they’re grey-muzzled mutts that would prefer slowly sauntering over jaunts to the dog park, passed over for puppies. But loyalty? Companionship? These

dogs provide it in spades. Give a homeless dog a second

chance at a bright future. To see the fabulous dogs available for adoption, visit the OHS website at www.ottawahumane.ca. Better yet, come visit the shelter today, at 245 West Hunt Club Drive. Your perfect match may be waiting for you.

Jake (A165395) the easy-going tabby is looking for a home to call his very own. This sweet guy gets along with dogs and cats who share his laid back attitude. Jake is full of personality and likes to spend his days napping and playing with his favourite catnip toys. He would love to curl up at the foot of your bed after a long day. Jake has a sensitive tummy but his special needs don’t define him. He is looking for an owner who will look past the “special needs” label and see him for the great companion he will be!

JAKE (A165395)

For more information on Jake and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

News - Mayor Jim Watson was already hearing from con-cerned residents a day before he offi cially launched his re-election campaign.

Artisans at the Art in Strathcona Park event on Aug.

9 took his casual stop-in as an opportunity to fi ght for change in the Byward Market.

“People used to come be-cause it was so unique,” said jewelry maker Lisa Wilson, who said she joined the By-ward Market Standhold-ers Association to try and change the system. “Now we

don’t get Ottawa people com-ing because most of the stuff comes out of containers.”

The peak market season between May and the end of August separates arts and crafts importers from arti-sans, with handmade arts and crafts located around the mar-ket building and importers on York Street. But between the Tuesday after Labour Day to the fi rst Monday in November, all categories of arts and crafts vendors are mixed together.

Every day at 9 a.m., ven-dors take part in a daily lottery to be assigned a stand, mean-ing vendors selling handmade items can end up beside ven-dors selling inexpensive, im-ported goods from other coun-tries. “It’s not a local market anymore,” Wilson said. “We can’t compete.”

She said she’d like the city and the market association to change the system so that local artisans are grouped together in one section, and the import-ers are grouped in another for the entire market season.

She was backed up by can-

dle maker Bruce Langer and fashion designer Elena Jones, who were also selling their wares in Strathcona that day.

Jones is still a Byward Market vendor, as is Wilson, but Langer said he gave up several years ago because the market no longer attracts seri-ous shoppers.

“All the genuine artisan shoppers aren’t shopping there anymore,” Langer said.

Watson said it was the fi rst time he’d heard such con-cerns. He asked the artists to send him a list of ideas, but he was hesitant to promise quick change.

“You’ll never have unanim-

ity in the market,” he said. “I’ve heard from one posi-tion and I’ll go back and see if there are fundamental chal-lenges we can overcome.” Watson added that part of the issue is an infl ux of new mar-kets across the city and region, which has diluted the concen-tration of market-goers.

Change Byward Market system: artisans


Mayor Jim Watson speaks to local artisan Lisa Wilson about problems at the Byward Market during the Art in Strathcona Park event on Aug. 9. Wilson, a jewelry maker, said importers selling inexpensive wares are hurting the sales of vendors selling local, handmade goods.

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.

Community - The Grass-root Grannies are preparing for their fi fth Ride to Turn the Tide cycling event taking place from Sept. 3 to 5.

The two-and-a-half day ride from Stittsville to Almonte, Perth, Merrickville, Metcalfe

and back has raised more than $150,000 over the past four years, and the grannies hope to add another $45,000 this year.

The ride was fi rst started by Grassroot Grannies mem-ber Nancy Hough. An avid bicyclist, Hough met with a pair of women from Victoria, B.C. while cycling in Cuba in

2007.The Victoria women had

begun their own cycling event in support of the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grand-mothers to Grandmothers campaign which supports Af-rican grandmothers looking after their grandchildren.

Hough was inspired by the cycling event, and returned to Ottawa hoping to start some-thing similar with help from the Grassroot Grannies.

Now, the Ride to Turn the Tide is one of the Grassroot Grannies’ largest fundraisers for the foundation, alongside their annual Mother’s Day plant sale.

The funds they raise are part of the $19.5 million raised by Canadians for the foundation’s campaign. The Grandmothers to Grandmoth-ers campaign is a response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic that killed millions of parents in Africa, leaving grandmothers as the primary caregivers to millions of children.

The money helps to pro-vide grandmothers with some basic needs like food, housing

and school fees, but also to support grandmothers’ small businesses with small grants.

That’s an important aspect for Hough, she said.

“The money is going to help make the grandmothers independent,” said Hough. “They help them set up proj-ects and small businesses to be entrepreneurs so that they can be self-suffi cient and make money to support their grandchildren.”

The Grassroot Grannies ride raises funds through sponsorship of the 22 cyclists ranging in age from 40 to 75 who take part in the 270-kilo-metre ride.

Donations can be made to individual cyclists or to the group. So far, more than $24,700 has been donated.

The bike ride isn’t getting any easier for the Grassroot Grannies, said Shirley Mander, a member of the group.

The group started up spring training sessions for the fi rst time last year to get riders ready for the two-and-a-half day ride.

“Yet our challenge pales

in comparison to the hard-ship experienced daily by the grandmothers and their or-phaned grandchildren in Af-rica,” said Mander in a news release. “Their courage and resilience remains an inspira-tion to us.”

This year, a member of the Victoria group will be taking part in the Ottawa ride, while one of the Grassroot Grannies will be headed to Victoria to

participate in theirs, honour-ing the connection between the two groups since the Ride to Turn the Tide began.

To make a donation for the Ride to Turn the Tide, go to grassrootgrannies.com/events for a link to their donation site.

The ride begins on Sept. 3 at the Bushtukah store on 5607 Hazeldean Rd. in Stitts-ville.

HOW DID YOU START YOUR

BUSINESS?

I’ve had a life-long passion for interior decorating.

I began my studies at Algonquin College. Following

these studies, I tended to my family and my career

in the financial industry. Years later, I returned to

my studies in the Residential Décor Program to do

what I enjoy doing best: helping people discover the

heart of their home.

WHAT IS YOUR SIGNATURE PRODUCT

OR SERVICE?

I have everything I need in hand when I arrive

at your home, and I am fully bilingual. When I

arrive, so does the excitement of creating a space

that is uniquely your own. We can discuss your

needs and ideas to create a design you love from

concept to final installation. Best of all, you can

be sure your project will have a happy ending

because I personally execute all the phases of the

project to ensure quality workmanship. From my

initial consultation, to product selection, to final

installation, I handle every detail. I am a true end-

to-end decorating service.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SURPRISED TO

KNOW? I find clients are most surprised to learn how many

options are available to them in their own home,

and that working with an interior decorator doesn’t

have to be expensive. First, when working with me,

my initial design consultation is complimentary.

Second, because I work with a wide variety of

products and suppliers, I can help them determine

a budget and price range that is comfortable for

them. Once that is established, my clients can relax

and know that everything I show them will fit within

the budget for their project. They often comment on

how much more warm and functional their spaces

are after incorporating some of my ideas into their

home. They are also pleasantly surprised to learn

how affordable decorating can be, especially with

the right advice.

WHAT IS YOUR INSPIRATION TO BE

THE BEST?

I pride myself on being a designer who is easy

to work with and who can make the most of any

budget.

My clients appreciate the fact that I decorate to suit

their lifestyles and expand on their own ideas. My

goal is to always make decorating a fun experience.

Together, we can make your dream space a reality.

FAVOURITE SAYING OR QUOTE?

“Your Dream Home made affordable”

My consultation is complimentary. It will be my

pleasure to visit you in your home. Creating

beautiful homes, one room at a time.

Ottawa residents can breathe easy

Dr. Clean Air is an Ottawa-based, family run company that is bringing the gift of clean air to thousands of people in the area. The team set out to provide its customers with professionally cleaned heating, ventilation, and HVAC though dedication and honest service.

The success of their six-step process is what sets them apart from other duct cleaning companies. Adherence to the highest quality standards in customer service and delivery of clean air means that you will be able to see the difference as well as feel it with every breath you take. Dr. Clean Air video tapes before and after the work is done, and shows you the remarkable results.

With the high-efficiency of today’s homes our central air systems are overworked and often recirculate dust and germs through the house rather than allowing them to exit properly. Have you noticed allergies occurring, are you sneezing even when the windows are closed? This could be a result of a dusty and pollen filled venting system.

When our vents collect dust they also invite dust mites and other pests to take root. These often forgotten pests can be the cause of many ailments and reactions. Have a professional like Dr. Clean Air assess your ventilation systems and clean them to avoid more serious reactions.

Have you just built a new home? Take a look in your returns and vents. Often contractors leave a buildup of drywall dust and other debris that could lessen the effectiveness of you HVAC, causing it to work harder. A blocked vent can cause cold or warm spots in your home and cost you money as the temptation to turn up the dial to compensate becomes a need.

Dr. Clean Air offers affordable duct cleaning at an affordable price.

News - A contest is under-way to come up with the offi -cial ping pong paddle for this year’s ultimate charity ping pong event.

In its fi fth year, the Verdun Windows and Doors Ottawa Charity Ping Pong will take place on Oct. 3 at SpinBin in the ByWard Market. In an effort to customize the event even more this year, organiz-ers are seeking a new design for the paddles used in the tournament.

“We’re really thrilled to offer the opportunity to have Ottawa artists play a key role in our charity event,” said Jes-sica Whiting, lead organizer for the event.

“There are so many talent-ed people in our city and we

can’t wait to see what designs they come up with.”

The organization intro-duced the paddle contest last year.

The contest is calling on anyone artistically inclined to create a design for a table ten-nis paddle.

The winning design will be printed by PaddleYou, an on-line table tennis paddle design company, on offi cial tourna-ment paddles and handed out to contestants at the competi-tion, as well as be handed out as some door prizes at the event.

The winning artist will re-ceive two free tickets to the event and two offi cial Ottawa Charity Ping Pong paddles.

All designs must be sub-mitted to [email protected] by 5 p.m. on Sept. 5.

Anyone interested in par-ticipating in the event can register at ottawacharityping-pong.com. All funds raised will support four local chari-ties -- Do it for Daron, The Youth Services Bureau, Oper-ation Come Home, and Chris-tie Lake Kids.

Last year the organization raised $26,000. The money is split evenly between all four charities.

All skill levels are wel-come and each contestant will get the opportunity to play at least two games.

Registration for the compe-tition is $50.

More information about the tournament and the chari-ties the event is supporting is available at ottawacharityp-ingpong.com.

The ping pong craziness begins at 7 p.m. on Oct. 3.

News - An O-Train extension to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier Internation-al Airport could reduce service to the city’s southern suburbs, says a member of the executive of the Findlay Creek Community Association.

“There are limitations to (extending a line to the airport) within the con-fi nes of the technology that the O-Train uses,” said Brad Nixon, who oversees the association’s transportation portfo-lio.

The O-Train operates on a single track and the extension would require additional sections of double tracks, al-lowing trains to pass by each other, he said.

“There ends up being a limit on how frequent the trains could run if, when they get south, when they’re branching to the airport or branching to Findlay Creek,” he said. “There potentially would be not as good service to Find-lay Creek and Riverside South in order to accommodate running trains to the airport.”

The proposed southern extension from Greenboro Station to Bowes-ville at Riverside South would feature three new stops at South Keys, Leitrim and Bowesville. A new stop at Walk-

ley along the existing line is also pro-posed.

Projected ridership numbers to these communities are much higher than fu-ture estimated ridership numbers to and from the airport.

There would be an estimated 3,300 boardings during peak hours per day from Bowesville to Bayview in 2031, compared to about 115 to 330 trips along the airport line during peak times each day that same year, according to a draft presentation on the study that members of various community as-sociations, including Nixon, and other groups saw on July 10.

Adding a line to the airport would ease traffi c congestion during peak times and enhance economic develop-ment, according to a report overview.

“My personal opinion is that it’s fi ne to study how we could go to the airport – whether it’s feasible or not – but I don’t think that we should be sacrifi c-ing frequency to the southern suburbs in order to serve less potential ridership at the airport,” said Nixon. “The per-centage of people (taking transit) today in Findlay Creek, I think, is quite small compared to other neighbourhoods in the city just because our service has been poor,” he said. “The O-Train ex-tension is really what it’s going to take to make it competitive.”

Nixon applauds a service that would provide service every eight minutes.

“With the extension of the O-Train, we would have rapid-transit service very close to our community and that would bring residents really quickly, roughly 15 to 20 minutes, to get from Leitrim Station right into almost down-town,” he said.

Though the O-Train wouldn’t come right into Findlay Creek, the stop at the Leitrim Park and Ride would be close enough that OC Transpo buses would be able to run a frequent shuttle service

from within the community, Nixon said. Public open houses on the study are expected to take place this fall.

SHORT-TERM IMPROVEMENTS

In the short term, getting to and from Findlay Creek is becoming incremen-tally better in large part due to infra-structure projects now underway and improved frequency of public transit, Nixon said.

Come September, bus service on Route 144 during the morning and af-ternoon rush hours will be ramped up from 30 minutes to every 15 minutes.

“That’s really going to be a game-changer in the south end of the city,” Nixon said. “I would say we’ve been underserviced. There haven’t been many improvements to the bus service since we moved here (in 2007) and the community has gotten signifi cantly larger.”

Nixon has also been advocating for additional improvements, including the addition of sidewalks and cycling lanes along Bank Street, which is a major route into Findlay Creek. But the Bank Street widening study, which was ap-proved by council earlier this year, is in-cluded in phase two of the city’s Trans-portation Master Plan, which means those improvements won’t come until

at least 2020 to 2025.“That’s something that we’d really

like to see as well because our com-munity centre is actually at the Fred Barrett Arena,” he said of the facility at the corner of Bank Street and Leitrim Road. “There’s not really a great route to walk or bike there at the moment. “More (traffi c) lanes are important for sure, but it’s also the improved cycling and pedestrian infrastructure that are really important.”

But there are other components of phase one that will help, such as the widening of the Airport Parkway be-tween Brookfi eld and Hunt Club roads within the next fi ve years and the cur-rent resurfacing of Albion Road and the addition of paved shoulders.

“I cycle into work from time to time and I would never have cycled on Al-bion Road before,” Nixon said, adding that he would consider cycling along that route once the upgrades are com-plete. “It’ll be a big improvement.”

Lester Road may one day be wid-ened and a roundabout could be added at Lester and Albion roads, though plans have not been fi nalized.

“That may benefi t Albion down the road,” Nixon said.

Canadian fi ddling competition coming to capital regionJennifer [email protected]

News - Dozens of fi ddlers will descend on the capital in the week of Aug. 17 to Aug. 23 for the Grand Master Fiddling Association’s an-nual competition and camp.

The camp, which has eight fi ddling instruc-tors made up of former national champions, ran from Aug. 17 to 21 at the RCMP Long Island Camp in Manotick. The group also included two piano instructors.

“We run the camp every year and except students from every level,” Ron Bourque, the association’s president said.

Following the camp there will be the compe-tition, which kicks off with a gala at the Cana-dian Museum of History in Gatineau. The gala will feature a performance by four-time Grand Master champion Louis Schryer, as well as Patti Lamoureux, André Brunet and Mark Sullivan. The competition will be held the following day at the Algonquin College Commons Theatre.

Bourque said the organization is also cel-ebrating their 25th anniversary. The mandate is to promote fi ddling.

“The Ottawa Valley is a hotbed of fi ddling,” he said, adding it’s appropriate to host the com-petition in the nation’s capital.

The competition has been held in Ottawa ev-

ery year, except for last year, when it was held in Saskatoon, SK.

“Last year we had 500 or 600 people attend,” Bourque said. “We expect the same this year.”

Top prize is 3,000 and there are lesser, mon-etary prizes for the fi rst four spots. The compe-tition will also feature a junior showcase at the college on Aug. 23 from 7 to 10:30 p.m. Con-testants will come from all over the country. “We are like the NHL of the fi ddlers industry,” Bourque said.
