Community - St. Matthew’s An-glican Church in the Glebe currently has more than 3,000 beer mugs in its possession.

The mugs, donated by Derele Scharfe, were collected by Scharfe’s father, Milton Erele Armstrong, over the course of many years. Scharfe said she donated the mugs to the church because it is where her par-ents were married in 1942.

“My parents would be very pleased that the mugs were given to St. Matthew’s, and especially pleased that there will be an event to sell the steins,” Scharfe said.

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

For 14 years, Leslie and Derele Scharfe kept Derele’s father’s collection of beer mugs in storage, simply waiting for the right opportunity. The couple recently donated the 3,000 mugs to St. Matthew’s Church in the Glebe, where Derele’s parents were married 72 years ago. The church is holding a sale of the mugs on Sept. 27 to help raise money for the church’s aging roof.

News - With glowing re-views from local arts groups, the city’s fi nance committee approved a partnership to ex-pand Arts Court.

The consortium chosen for the project – EBC Inc., DevMcGill and Groupe Ger-main – plans to build a bou-tique-style hotel in the tower at the Daly Street-Waller Street corner of the city-owned site. When the city planned out the redevelopment – a process that’s been in the works since 2007 – a tower was included as a way to raise money for the project by selling the develop-ment rights.

Groupe Germain plans to build a 21-storey building with a hotel occupying the fi rst 12 fl oors and condos on the re-maining fl oors.

With hotels in Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City and Calgary, Groupe Germain lays claim to having built Canada’s fi rst boutique hotel. The con-cept is based on each property having its own unique person-ality and style, the company’s website states. In Ottawa, Groupe Germain is already building another hotel-condo project called Alt, located on

Slater Street and set to open in September of 2016.

The new tower at Arts Court will be designed by Quebec City architecture fi rm Régis Côté et Associés.

Other changes to the By-Ward Market-area arts hub will include the addition of a 250-seat screening and multi-purpose room, an expanded 4,000-square metre space for the Ottawa Art Gallery and four classrooms and a black-box theatre for the University of Ottawa.

Mayor Jim Watson said cultural tourism is the fastest growing element of the tour-ism industry and it’s important to highlight the city’s local tal-ent.

“While we’ve been well-served by national institutions, we also have a very dynamic and vibrant local arts commu-nity,” Watson said, noting the redevelopment could be seen as a “legacy project” marking Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017, when it will be com-pleted.

There was some hesitation on the part of fi nance commit-tee members when it came to the tentative deal that would see the university pay $9 mil-lion for its space. That agree-ment hasn’t been fi nalized and some councillors worried the school could pull out. If it falls through, the committee was told the black-box theatre would be removed from the project and the classroom space would be repurposed and city

staff would report back to the committee with ideas for alter-native tenants for that space.

The cost of the project to the city is $35 million. Of that, $4.5 million from the sale of devel-opment rights for the tower and $3.2 million from the fundrais-ing efforts of the tenant arts groups at Arts Court.

Those fundraising efforts will be bolstered by the city’s donation of naming rights for the building.

The coalition of arts groups will seek sponsors to name components of the new build-ing in exchange money to put towards construction.

Selling the naming rights is an essential component of that fundraising effort, said Law-son Hunter, chairman of the Ottawa Art Gallery’s board of directors.

“We are confi dent in achiev-ing the goal,” he said. “But the naming rights will be a key component of our ability to ful-fi ll our funding obligations.”

If all goes to plan, the new Ottawa Art Gallery and uOtta-wa space would be completed by February of 2017. The exist-ing space would be repurposed and refurbished by October of 2017 and the tower would be done a month later.

The city passed over two other consrotiums that want-ed to build the tower: Miz-rahi Developments/Bondfi eld Construction Company Ltd. and the District Development Group (Broccolini and Mori-yama & Teshima Architects).

News - Ottawa’s downtown will become a little more animated this month.

On screens across the area-- the Bytowne Cinema, the National Gal-lery of Canada, Arts Court, Chateau Laurier, St. Brigids, SilverCity and the Ottawa Little Theatre -- this year’s Ottawa International Animation Festi-val promises to offer the edgiest, most innovative animation the world has to offer from Sept. 17 to 21.

“There is no shortage of things to do or see, that’s for sure,” said artistic director Chris Robinson. “There are so many events going on.”

Now in its 38th year, the animation festival welcomes artists and industry professionals from around the world and features fi lms from leading ani-mators, one-on-one talks and work-shops with professionals as well as an opportunity to learn from some of the industry’s pioneers.

Each year the festival welcomes around 28,000 artists, producers, stu-dents and fans to Ottawa.

On Robinson’s must-do and see list, there are a number of events geared towards families and children

-- everything from free workshops and family-friendly screenings to a children-led jury to judge either the short fi lms made for kids program at 11 a.m. or the animated TV series made for kids at 1 p.m. on Sept. 20 at the National Gallery of Canada. At the screening, the jury will meet and decide on the winners and present the award that evening.

And if heading downtown for the festival seems a little daunting, this year festival organizers will host an

all-Disney event at the SilverCity Gloucester in the east end. The event will feature a screening of a new Dis-ney short fi lm as well as the classic feature The Little Mermaid.

Robinson said the festival decided to take a portion of the festival outside of the downtown core to attract more people from the wider community, helping to appeal people beyond ani-mators and animation lovers.

“We are well established with the animation world but we are constant-

ly fi ghting to reach out to the general public,” Robinson said. “The festi-val started in the late 1970s to bring animators together, which is fi ne, but then you are just showing animation fi lms to the converted. This is a way to reach out to the general public and featuring Disney seemed a great way to do it.”

Overall the festival will feature Disney Animation Studios, with a se-ries of screenings, talks, exhibitions, legendary Disney animators including Ron Clements and John Musker, the directors of the Little Mermaid, Alad-din and the Princess and the Frog.

“I think a lot of people will be ex-cited about Disney… having them (Clements and Musker) here, we are very lucky,” Robinson said. “They are going to tell stories about what it’s like working for Disney.”

There will also be a special art ex-hibition created by local artists called Disney Made Me Do It. The art focus-es on how Disney Animation Studios has inspired these particular artists. The vernisage will take place on Sept. 18 at the Ottawa Arts Court begin-ning at 5 p.m. The exhibition will be available for viewing throughout the festival.

According to Robinson, there are

plenty of opportunities to volunteer during the fi ve-day festival and volun-teers get free passes to festival screen-ings and workshops if they work two full shifts.

The festival also sees high volun-teer participation from local colleges and universities.

“Algonquin has been by far the big-gest supplier of volunteers and partic-ipants,” Robinson said.

He credited the interest to the col-lege’s animation program.

Of the screenings and showcases during the festival, Algonquin Col-lege student Dougall Dawson’s short fi lm The Plug will compete for the best Canadian Student Animation award for the Canadian Student Com-petition.

For up-and-coming animators, Robinson said the festival is a great place to meet people and start a ca-reer in the industry. As well, Robin-son said the winners of the Short Film Competition have been considered for an Academy Award.

“In terms of studios, people are al-ways getting picked up, looking for talent and new ideas,” Robinson said.

Tickets and more information about the festival is available at ani-mationfestival.ca.

News - A bunch of “good guys” are asking the community to put on its dancing shoes to help end childhood cancer.

The Good Guys Tri is only weeks away from the organiza-tion’s big event, the Sears Great Canadian Run to End Kids Can-cer – a 100 kilometre run from Ottawa to Montebello on Oct. 4. Leading up to the big day, many of the organization’s members have hosted events to help raise funds for pediatric oncology initiatives at local research in-stitutions such as the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Past events have included golf tournaments, treadmill challeng-es and pizza parties, but on Sept. 13 organizer Gesine Freund is hoping people will get ready to two-step for the cause.

“It’s something I like to do,” F r e u n d said.

“ L a s t

year my focus has been on the running, so I thought maybe the week before I do the big 100 kilometre run I could pull out dancing shoes.”

A Night out Dancing will take place at the Mercury Lounge in the Byward Market at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are a $30 donation per person at dance2endkidscancer.ca.

Freund said she loves salsa dancing and thought the grow-ing popularity of the style would work well for a fundraiser.

The event is open to anyone -- whether they know how to dance or are interested in learning.

“You don’t have to know how to dance to come out and have a good time,” she said. “The more the merrier.”

Introduction lessons will be offered at the event after which participants can simply dance the night away, Freund said.

There will be draws and priz-es during the evening, as well as a silent auction.

Since its inception in 2011,

the organization has raised more than $115,000 for their cause – donating money to both na-tional and local charities. The group has only one motto – to do good – and Freund said she is proud to be a part of the team and having adopted the “good guy” attitude.

This year the some team members will participate in two 100 ki-

lometre runs, one in Toronto on Sept. 20 which runners will run from Toronto to Blue Mountain and the Ottawa run in October. Holding two runs is aimed at creating more interest and rais-ing more awareness for the or-ganization and its cause.

Does each term of council need to pursue a defi ning civic project? If so, what would constitute such an endeavour?

Recently, Coun. Jan Harder, who is running for re-election in Barrhaven Ward, said she intends to raise a new main library as “the next large, civic-purpose project that the city will move forward on” during the next term, if she gets her way.

The main library is an obvious example of a signifi cant civic project the city could pursue. A recent report presented to the library board indicated that even a major renovation of the current building would cost the city $75 million. At some point, the city will need a new fl agship branch for the library system, so Harder’s suggestion would certainly fi t the civic-project bill.

What else could the city consider? Lansdowne Park, the most recent example of a major civic project, has already been revamped. LeBreton Flats is an eyesore on the face of the city, but its fate lies in the hands of the National Capital Commission. The Ottawa Baseball Stadium will see a minor face

lift, but council balked at providing a larger outlay to attract a high profi le ball club to town. The expansion of Arts Court is a more recent example of a major civic project.

Part of the problem with identifying a major civic project in Ottawa is that like LeBreton Flats, many of the civic spaces here are in the hands of the federal government. In addition, many of these capital city spaces serve as major civic sites – Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal, and the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, for example. The federal government has the market cornered on civic spaces.

This raises another question: does each term of council need to embark on a signifi cant civic project? By identifying a new main library, Harder appears to be discounting something like the light rail project, a transit infrastructure project that could certainly qual-ify as a major city building project. Maybe Ottawa already has enough to occupy the next four years.

If nothing else, Harder has raised an issue that deserves debate during the upcoming election, and provides food for thought for voters in Ottawa.

OPINIONOPINION Connected to your community

In Ottawa we have our little vexations, but for the most part it’s still a fairly convenient place to live. We complain about the

traffi c, but usually it doesn’t slow us down for more than fi ve or 10 minutes.

Toronto is a different story, as you know. A drive into the city on Labour Day gives you many additions to your list of reasons not to live there.

Toronto on Labour Day? Well, a child’s birthday is involved. Anyway, the drive is to take place in the morn-ing, so it won’t coincide with the mass migration from the cottage.

No problem. One little thing, though, we are told, is to avoid the Gardiner Expressway, part of the usual route, because it’s the last day of the Canadian National Exhibition

and it might be crowded. An alternate route is given, along with a reminder to check AM 680 for traffi c informa-tion.

A pause for a moment to remind readers that the most vital roads in Toronto are always being closed for one thing or another in the summer – walkathons, auto races, parades and so on, and the roads you take instead of those vital roads have construc-tion on them. Because of the way people drive, the mere positioning

of a single pylon in the right lane of a street can cause backups for many miles.

Driving in, the 401 is fi ne and 680 reveals that traffi c is moving well except at some unheard of street. It is also revealed that the Labour Day parade will be affecting downtown traffi c. The parade route is available on our website, the announcer says.

This is unhelpful and a bit scary, the scary part consisting of the thought that maybe some drivers are checking the website right now.

We stay with the alternate route suggested by relatives, who then be-gin phoning with revisions. Too late we discover that the alternate route leads right into the parade at Queen Street. Police are letting some cars through intermittently, but progress

is impeded by crazed guys in a hurry doing U-turns on narrow streets and other crazed guys suddenly ap-pearing out of back lanes they had thought might be short cuts.

When we fi nally get there, all parking spaces have been wiped out by the construction site for another condo building but never mind. The birthday party is in a little park and everything is great until the air show begins. Jets are so loud you think you’re under attack and they’re going so fast you can’t see them even if you try to outsmart them by looking where they haven’t been yet. Later they are succeeded by something that sounds like two dozen fl ying lawnmowers.

Taxpayer dollars are involved in this, not to mention pilots’ lives. The odd local newspaper columnist inveighs against it, but Toronto seems to like it and it endures. No matter how you feel about it, it’s hard not to

look up when the noise comes again, but the new condo blocks the view.

As Labour Day passes, the noise abates and things return to normal with the news that part of King Street will be closed due to the fi lm festival. Perhaps you can get used to this.

This summer I brought uncluttering to an entirely new level.

Yes, I’ve written about uncluttering before. Yes, I’ve done it. But until now, I haven’t really been ruthless about it. In August, I created a vision statement for project: “I will get rid of half the contents of the house.”

The nice thing about a vision statement is that you don’t actually have to achieve it. But you must always be working toward it. Why such a lofty goal?

Well, a couple of things spurred me into action. In March, my middle child was diagnosed with a dust mite allergy. It requires keeping the house -- especially the child’s sleeping area – meticulously clean. No carpets, wrapped beds, no open shelving, no stuffed toys.

The uncluttering process for my son was the catalyst for the change. But it wasn’t until the summer – af-

ter many weeks of camping – that I realized more needed to be done. While camping, I felt so peaceful. At home, I felt stressed and anxious, even when there was nothing to truly be worried about. And all the kids seemed to do was fi ght.

One evening as I glanced around our main fl oor, I realized that every surface – bookshelves, piano top, desktops, coffee tables, the mantle – was cluttered. There wasn’t a single place in the room I could direct my eye.

Everywhere I looked there were children’s toys and books, sheet mu-sic, crayons, tools, party dishes, sun-

glasses, socks, CDs and magazines. Without a thought, I grabbed two very large black contractor garbage bags. In one I started dumping paper recycling. In another I stowed away items for donation. Just like that, I transformed the space into a retreat.

I was inspired. I decided if I could do the main fl oor so quickly, our basement surely wouldn’t be too diffi cult to unclutter. Boy, was I wrong. The basement, after all, is home to the toy cupboard, the stor-age cupboard and seasonal things like boots and snowsuits.

If I was going to make a dent, I would have to be ruthless. The fi rst thing to go was the sofa, which has always been too big for the space. I then sold a bookshelf and an old kitchen table. Twenty contractor bags of toy, book and trinket dona-tions later, the space was completely empty and the storage cupboard trimmed down with everything in matching, clear storage bins. (No

labels required).My gut instinct was to fi ll it

up again – a new, smaller sofa, I decided. But my husband put the brakes on that idea. “Let’s leave it empty for now,” he said. “Let’s see what empty feels like.”

You know what? It felt great. The kids could take their toys out indi-vidually from the storage cupboard and put them away when they were done. They could dance on the car-pet. They could even play miniature hockey down there. I really thought we’d fi nally made it.

And then my cousin called: “Can I rent a room from you for a semester?”

We decided to renovate my offi ce for him – it needed to be reinsu-lated anyway. But fi rst, it had to be emptied – fl oor-to-ceiling shelves, storage closet, fi ling cabinets. I had no idea how much stuff one could store in a single room. Three weeks later, we have successfully emptied

and renovated the room, sorted through 90 per cent of its contents and, in the process rid ourselves of 20 more contractor bags of recycling and donations. The only problem? The last 10 per cent is now in the basement.

Despite ruthlessly discarding chil-dren’s artwork, diaries, work notes and decades-old tax documents, there is a week’s worth of sorting to be done before I get anywhere close to emptying the basement again. As a professional organizer told me recently, “the last 10 per cent takes 90 per cent of the energy.”

But it will get done. I have real-ized that owning things requires a level of space and responsibility that I don’t have and don’t want. Clean lines, empty shelves and open fl oor space have made all of us feel less stressed. The children argue less in an empty room. They play more because without the clutter, they can fi nd the toys and books they really want. As for me, I’m spending most evenings in the living room chair, looking at the clean surfaces, breathing deeply, and dreaming of an empty basement.

Glebe Annex hosts fall cleanup

Continued from page 1

As a result of the donation, church will host, Mugs and Suds on Sept. 27 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The beer stein sale will feature beer from the Clock-tower Brew Pub and the Polished Brass Quintet will entertain guests in the church’s parking lot.

Revenues from the sale are ear-marked for the restoration of the church’s aging roof.

“This is certainly different from anything we have ever done before,” said Margret Nankivell, a member of the church’s fundraising committee.

When fi rst approached with the idea of taking possession of thou-sands of beer mugs last Septem-

ber, Nankivell said they had to ask Scharfe to hold off.

“There was no way we could handle taking the mugs, cleaning them and fi nding storage space at the time,” Nankivell said.

Scharfe was patient and donated the mugs last May. Nankivell said when the committee received them; they simply sat and stared at them.

“We were sitting around and think-ing of what we were going to do with all these mugs,” she said. “The fund-raising committee is a very active one, but it took some time to come up with a way to sell the mugs and welcome people to the church.”

According to Nankivell, the col-lection of steins is quite eclectic.

It includes mugs from Canadian, American and European breweries as well as universities, corporations, and face mugs. Mugs are stoneware, salt-glazed, porcelain, metal, glass and even wood. According to the church, an unusual china mug was identifi ed as former British prime minister Neville Chamberlain and dates back to the late 1930s. Other face mugs include former Canadian prime minister John Diefenbaker.

The church will sell beer in a free mug for $5. Other steins will vary in price, depending on whether it’s a rare item or not. Some will only be available as part of a silent auction.

Nankivell, who has taken charge of other silent auctions for the church,

said she was amazed at how much information about pricing was avail-able for the committee online.

“The mugs alone make this un-usual,” said Rev. Pat Johnston. “Peo-ple will have a really great time lis-tening to the music and sampling the beer from Clocktower. So raise your glasses to help us raise the roof.”

Johnston said she hopes to fi nd a mug from Laurentian University, where her son studied.

Nankivell said she believes it’s entirely possible to fi nd a Lauren-tian mug – or any style of mug from anyone’s past.

“If you are looking for something specifi c, actually, we might just have it,” she said.

News - Children and youth in the Ottawa area are increasingly seeking professional help for mental health issues, according to a mental health report card released last week.

Visits to the emergency depart-ments at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the Royal Ot-tawa Mental Health Centre have risen substantially in recent years, according to the report. Admissions were up by 2,900 visits this year over last, and are 78 per cent higher than in 2009/2010.

The largest increases were seen in 16-18 year-olds seeking help for anxiety, psychosis, substance abuse and suicidal thoughts.

While these numbers sound alarm-ing, there is reason to believe they are proof of more of more young people heeding the growing call to seek

help – an act that was once mired in stigma.

“We don’t think this is proof of a dramatic increase in the occurrence of mental health in youth, but we do think more young people today are feeling OK in the choice to seek help,” said Karen Tataryn, director of mental health at CHEO and regional director for specialized children and youth services at CHEO and the Royal.

“Obviously, there are conversa-tions that can take place about new stresses that children and youth are experiencing, including bulling … We don’t have the data right now to know whether the occurrence of these issues is increasing.”

Tataryn said that in the last few years, dialogue and awareness sur-rounding youth mental health and suicide has increased greatly, espe-cially in Ottawa. She alluded to the aftermath of the high-profi le deaths

of teens Daron Richardson and Ja-mie Hubley, launched the issue to the forefront of the public’s conscious-ness.

“The courage and bravery of their parents … has been successful, in that people are now seeking help,” said Tataryn.

Both CHEO and the Royal are countering the growing tide of distressed youth looking for help through tailored programming that give young people and their families tools to deal with their situation.

Taking a citywide approach, both hospitals have teamed up with com-munity partners - such as Ottawa Public Health and the Youth Services Bureau - in creating their programs.

In April, 2013, all four entities launched the Bridges program, an in-tensive treatment program for high-risk teens who have been involved with inpatient and crisis services. Funding was also sourced from the

Champlain Local Health Improve-ment Network.

“It’s an individualized approach,” said Tataryn said of Bridges. “When a patient is discharged from the hos-pital, we thought it would be ben-efi cial to have a few days a week of therapy.”

A body of psychiatrists, psycholo-gists, occupational therapists and youth counsellors is on hand to pro-vide one-on-one or group counsel-ling, where the youth and medical professional work to develop strate-gies to manage stress.

“We’ve seen good outcomes in our fi rst year,” said Tataryn. “Between 12 and 15 weeks into the program there’s a marked decrease in their symptoms.”

Recently, CHEO and the Royal began offering dialectical behav-ior therapy for that same group of high-risk youth, while helping their parents and caregivers understand the issues faced by their youth. Ear-lier this year, the Royal launched its HealthyMinds mental wellness app

to help teens deal with stresses and mental health issues.

E-consultations between mental health specialists and MDs can be now be arranged to bring better care to young patients who sought out their family doctor for help.

Numerous other programs and ini-tiatives offered by the city’s mental health providers aim to reduce the harm that comes from mental health issues in youth.

The strategy, said Tataryn, is to en-sure that there is help available for all youth in all situations. Making sure those already in a crisis recover fully, while preventing other illnesses from progressing, are among the keys to addressing the issue.

A full list of youth mental health resources is available online at ementalhealth.ca, while important links are also included on the web-sites of both CHEO and the Royal. Schools and resource centres have been stocked with this information, to ensure it is at hand whenever, and wherever, a child needs it.

Barbara Jane Chapman: Finding RefugeJane woke with a headache. She wasn’t really surprised. After all it was New Year’s Day. But when the headache was still there days later, her doctor suggested she go to emergency. A scan showed she had a brain tumor and surgery confirmed it was brain cancer. She died a little more than two years later.

Those were difficult years. At times, the day program at the hospice became a refuge where Jane could share her fears with others whose end-of-life was in sight. At others, it was the place she went to escape and paint or watch the butterflies in the garden.

Jane didn’t die at the hospice. Because beds are scarce other arrangements were made.

I felt guilty when Jane died. She was my younger sister so I should have gone first. At the same time I was angry with her. She had promised to share the care of our elderly parents. And my anger made me feel even more guilty. But a counsellor at the hospice helped me to understand that this was part of grieving. Now I can remember her with only sadness and love.

The statue of Clair, which was created by Brian Hanlon, overlooks the fi eld at TD Place stadium where Clair coached the Rough Riders from 1956 to 1969. Clair’s Ottawa teams won three Grey Cups while he was coach and two more while he was general manager. Russ Jackson, a former quarterback who played with Clair for his entire career, said Clair ‘was a player’s coach and we all respected him for that.’ The statue of Clair, who was known as ‘the professor,’ is located at Gate 6.

News - Old Ottawa South’s fi rst studio tour will offer art lovers the opportunity to visit 13 locations throughout the neighbourhood.

Organized by the Ottawa South Community Association’s events committee, the association will host its fi rst free, self-guided OSCA Stu-dio Walking Tour on Sept. 14. The tour gives local artists the opportu-nity to open up their homes and stu-dios to art lovers from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The idea for the art tour came about during a brainstorming ses-sion during an annual planning meeting in June. Organizers said the experience of hosting the OSCA Windsor Park Art Show for three

years as well as the OSCA Shop Your Local Talent Christmas Sale, they knew there was a strong talent pool in the neighbourhood.

This show gives artists the chance to show their work in their own space. The type of arts and crafts which will be showcased includes painted ceramics, quilts, paintings, photography, hand-made crafts, fur-niture and greeting cards.

The artists who will be participat-ing in this year’s tour will be Ali-son Pouw, Bev Ellis, Cara Lipsett, Claudia Musson Reid, Christopher Heilmann, Elaine Decoursey, Jim Cochrane, John Archer, Norah Lynn Paddock and Erin Corbin, Pottery Studio Members, Teresa Waclawik and WeLust Design.

A map of the artist’s homes as well as a brief description of each

News - The Canadian Museum of Nature has announced it will be serving up a new kind of event se-ries this fall.

The museum announced it will host a Nature Brunch series on Sun-days in 2014 and 2015, stating it’s a new way to promote both delicious local and exotic dishes, coupled with the opportunity to explore the museum’s many exhibitions.

The brunches will be served as a buffet, with an assortment of meats, salads, cheese, pastries, deserts and local harvest. During the holiday

seasons, there will be specialties from different cultures.

A total of eight brunches will be offered.

The fi rst brunch was planned to take place on Grandparent’s Day, Sept. 7.

The other scheduled dates are Oct. 12 for Thanksgiving, a multi-cultural holiday brunch on Dec. 14, a Valentine’s Day-themed brunch on Feb. 15, a Canadian sugar bush brunch on March 22, a sampling of Arctic foods on April 26, a Mother’s Day brunch on May 10 and a Fa-ther’s Day brunch on June 21.

The menus will be developed by

chef William Carter of Gourmet Cuisine.

“The themes refl ect different cul-tures, holidays and traditions,” said Meg Beckel, the museum’s presi-dent. “For our Arctic festival, chef Carter, who has lived in the North, will share his experience by prepar-ing an Arctic buffet of appetizing dishes that most people have likely never tasted before.”

Prices will include museum ad-mission. People are encouraged to check out the museum’s exhibitions after the food.

Brunch will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

News - When Melody An-deel heard the whir of saws be-hind her Orléans home a couple weeks ago, she already knew what was coming.

When she went down to check it out, “it looked like a tornado went through,” Andeel said.

Like so many areas across the city, Terry Fox Participark behind Andeel’s home was deci-mated by the emerald ash borer – a stubborn invasive beetle that is destroying urban trees across the city. It’s now made its way into woodlots, said David Bark-ley, the city’s forester.

“What’s not known right now is what will happen with the woodlots,” Barkley said. “They are different than street trees.”

In the woodlot behind An-deel’s Priory Lane home, work-ers told her an estimated 2,500 trees of all types and sizes were being removed in the process of cutting down the large ashes.

“It’s a really rude awakening,” she said.

Andeel knew about the emer-ald ash borer and how it burrows feeding galleries for larva under the bark of ash trees, preventing the tree from absorbing nutrients – something that will inevitably kill it. But others in her condo corporation hadn’t heard of the ruthless insect and the complete devastation it is expected to bring to the city’s trees.

By the time the infestation has run its course – in an estimated 10 years – the city estimates around 75,000 ashes will be lost, representing 25 per cent of the tree cover in the city. As of this June, more than 4,400 trees had been removed in the city – most-ly ash. Dutch elm disease is still claiming some trees, too accord-

ing to the city.The National Capital Com-

mission, which owns many of the city’s open spaces, including the Greenbelt, says it has cut down 1,000 dead ash trees on both sides of the Ottawa River this year. That’s the same number as the total number of trees that had been removed in the three previ-ous years. In total, the NCC has identifi ed 7,000 dead ash trees on its land, many of which have not been removed.

On Priory Lane, that means sun – lots of it – where there used to be shade, countless stumps as far as the eye can see and branches strewn throughout a pathway that was a 1.5-metre wide footpath with a fresh layer of stone dust, and is now a wide, churned up road.

“I’ll never live long enough to see it in its former glory,” Andeel said.

Trees will be replanted next spring as part of the city’s on-going program to replace the lost ashes. In 2014, the city will

spend $1.175 million to plant 110,000 new trees. The NCC said it’s too early to say how many trees it will replant this year, but the Crown corporation is following its emerald ash borer management strategy to ensure dying ash trees don’t pose a risk to public safety.

The city will have to deal with more and more situations like the one in Orléans. The priority right now is to remove dead trees along pathways and parkland where they may become unsafe and put people at risk, Barkley said. Deeper into the woodlots, they’ll “let Mother Nature take its course,” he said.

Woodlot ash removal is still “small scale,” Barkley said. There will be many more sites where trees will need to be re-moved next year, he said.

There are between six to 10 crews, each with between two to four workers, out removing trees at any given time, Barkley said. So far, they’ve been able to keep up with the demand, even

if it takes up to six months to get around to all the trees that need removing. That amount of intervening time doesn’t cre-ate a safety risk for falling trees, Barkley said. Ash trees can die in as little as a year after being infected, but it usually takes two to three years.

The cost to remove each tree is $365.

The city is trying to save and protect around 3,000 ash trees by injecting them with TreeAzin, a biological insecticide that can combat the ruthless beetles. The NCC says it has inoculated 200 trees since 2009. Tree Canada recently announced a donation of 30 litres of TreeAzin to be used to protect NCC trees in Leamy Lake Park and other urban parks in Ottawa and Gatineau.

Canadian Forestry Services has another weapon it’s testing out in the fi ght against the emer-ald ash borer: wasps.

The federal agency has worked with a number of municipalities – including Ottawa – to release the wasps, a non-native species that feeds on the beetles. The insects have been released mul-tiple times in the same location, a process that involves introduc-ing a piece of wood that contains the beetles along with the wasps so they have a feeding source, Barkley said.

It’s too soon to tell how well that strategy is working, Bark-ley said. The emerald ash borer population will be monitored over the next few years before any conclusions can be drawn about its effectiveness. In the long term, Barkley said no one is sure what the ongoing impact on ash trees will be. It’s possible there will always be cycles of re-generation of ash trees, followed by a resurgence of the beetles, creating a never-ending cycle.

News - Ashbury College decided to start the new school year off with a strong focus on arts.

The private day and boarding school in Rockcliffe Park offi cially opened its new $10 million Creative Learning Centre on the fi rst day back at school on Sept. 3.

The school’s headmaster, Norman Southward welcomed students back, adding he was pleased the Creative Learning Centre was ready in time.

“This is an enhanced space for arts and music,” Southward said. “I am

delighted to think of what it will bring to your student experiences here.”

The multi-million dollar building, Southward added would not have been possible if not for $5.2 million in donations from the community.

The new centre offers students new art and music studios and a me-dia room and technology-enhanced classrooms. The new space also has a gallery exhibition space, a ceramics workshop and a large learning com-mons.

“In a climate where arts are be-coming increasingly under-funded, Ashbury has made a commitment to it. We felt it was important,” South-ward said.

Of all the new rooms in the centre, Southward said his favourite was the art studio because of its natural light.

Some of the college’s rooms, in-

cluding the dining hall, the theatre and its residences are available for rental, but when it comes to renting out the art studio or music rooms, so far Southward said this new space will be fi rst and foremost for the stu-dents.

“The spaces are a part of the school’s academic structure,” he said.

After a brief ribbon cutting by Mayor Jim Watson, his sister, Jayne Watson, former Ashbury parent and executive offi cer of the National Arts Centre Foundation, and governors Chris Teron and Meena Roberts, students rushed in to check out the new space before offi cially starting class.

The new learning centre entrance will also serve as the offi cial entrance for the Junior School.

If Mother had followed Father’s advice, we would have bypassed the Renfrew fair that year.

Our Montreal cousins were with us, and Terry the youngest would have been no trouble, but the eldest, Ronny, was another matter all together. But Mother thought a face to face talk with Ronny before the old model T left the barn yard would be suffi cient to insure his best behaviour.

She didn’t have to go over the ground rules with the rest of us. We knew them by heart: stay together, no squabbling, don’t sit on the seat in the

outdoor privy, and once our quarter was gone, there was no more money to squander.

Ronny said he understood perfectly.

The Renfrew Fair was just about the most exciting place to be on a fall day. My three brothers were usually fl at

broke in less than an hour. Whereas my sister Audrey and I took ages to make up our minds how we wanted to spend our quarters.

We had gone to the fair early Saturday evening that year. It wasn’t the best time to go, because organizers

usually started to dismantle everything by nine o’clock. However, the side benefi t was that often we got rides at a discount price because it was the fi nal night.

As usual, we cruised the entire fair as soon as we arrived, with specifi c orders from Mother, since we were there at night time, to stay together and meet back at the ticket booth by nine o’clock. Ronny, for a change, seemed to be on his best behaviour. Once or twice he compared the Renfrew Fair to a place called LaFontaine Park in Montreal, but we paid little attention to him. He wasn’t

too impressed and called the rides “kid stuff.”

Finally, the boys had spent every cent of their allowance. I still had a nickel tied in the corner of my hanky.

We always saved the exhibition hall for last. Audrey and I loved to see the handiwork and see who had won prizes. The boys hated the hall, but Mother’s instructions left no doubt in anyone’s mind that we all stayed together. So it was fi ve reluctant boys who shuffl ed into the hall that night to look at the displays of quilts, baking, grain, vegetables, and corn stalks tied together in

great tall bundles.Ronny promised if we

let him wander the hall, he would not leave the building. Audrey was too engrossed in the needle work to argue. We must have spent a good hour before we realized Ronny was nowhere to be found. We skirted the displays several times, to no avail. Perhaps he had gone out to the ticket gate. Everett, being the oldest, was dispatched immediately. When he got back, Mother was stern faced and walking quickly beside him. Ronny was not with them.

We were ordered to fan out like a search party looking for someone lost in the bush.

We started to get panicky when we saw the fair board beginning to dismantle the displays in the hall. A group of ladies from the Women’s Institute was folding quilts, and putting the baking in large baskets.

Audrey and I were posted at the door just in case he had wandered out and would come back to look for us. The hall was emptying quickly. Mother’s look of anger was fast turning to a look of panic. As was usual for me, when I got scared or distressed, I started to cry, which led my sister Audrey to repeat one of my father’s favourite observa-tions: “Mary your bladder must be awfully close to your

eyes.”We had been looking for

Ronny for an hour. I was convinced he had been hauled off by one of the carnival workers, which made me cry all the louder. The hall was almost stripped. Everyone but the workers had gone home. All that was left were the grain displays and the tall stalks of corn tied into bundles and standing along one wall. A few farmers were moving into position to take away even those last remnants of the Renfrew Fair. “No,” they said when asked if they had seen a young boy with blonde hair who looked like he was lost.

Mother thought she should go and look for the police. One of the farmers thought that might be a good idea, as he moved over to the tall stalks of corn. He lifted the fi rst two bundles and tossed

them on his shoulders. His tall lanky son reached for the third. When he lifted it from the wall, there was Ronny sitting behind the corn stalks looking out at us with sheer delight and devilment written all over his face.

Mother was so mad she swung her purse at him and caught the farmer square on the side of his head. He recovered quickly, and made a grab for the young villain. But Mother beat him to it. She grabbed Ronny by the scruff of the neck and hauled him to his feet, which never touched the fl oor all the way out of the building. Father was wearing his, “I told you so” look.

Finally Ronny looked Mother square in the eye and said, “I don’t know why everyone is so mad. I wasn’t lost. I knew where I was all the time.”

‘I knew where I was all the time’: Ronny


News - As election signs begin to pop up in neighbour-hoods across the city, so do opportunities to meet the can-didates running in Ottawa’s east end.

There will be a Rideau-Rockcliffe Ward all-candi-dates meet and greet and de-bate scheduled at the main hall in the Overbrook Community Centre on Sept. 11. Residents will have the opportunity to hear candidates’ position on issues and themes that affect their everyday lives.

Starting at 6:30 p.m. resi-dents can participate in a “dot-mocracy” -- a number of ques-tions will be posted on varying topics and voters can indicates with a sticker which questions they would like the candidates to answer during the debate. The candidates will answer the questions which have the most stickers. Local school trustee candidates will also be in attendance to take ques-tions.

Free childcare will be pro-

vided at the community centre during the debate.

Community associations in the Rideau-Vanier Ward have organized a topic-specifi c de-bate at the Guiges Centre on Sept. 15.

Organized by the Lower-town Community Association, with participation from Ac-tion Sandy Hill and the Vanier Community Association, Citi-zens for Safe Cycling, Walk Ottawa, Ecology Ottawa and the Vanier Community Service Centre, the debate will focus on the future of transportation in Lowertown, Vanier, Sandy Hill and the Byward Market.

Concerns about trucks on Rideau Street and King Ed-ward Avenue, safe, walkable streets and bicycle lanes, A-frames blocking the sidewalks and how light rail will reshape the neighbourhoods will be discussed.

“The transportation choices we make every day affect not only the livability of our com-munity, but the environment as well and the choices we make are dependent on having good choices available to resi-

dents,” said Elizabeth Bern-stein, Lowertown Community Association president.

According to Bernstein, the number of Lowertown residents who walk, cycle and take public transit is higher than other communities.

“It can be a dangerous en-deavor. Last year, two pedes-trians were killed by trucks on Rideau and from 2005-2009 four pedestrians were killed on King Edward Avenue,” she said. “More than 60 were in-jured. Residents tell us they are afraid to cross King Ed-ward.”

The purpose of this debate, Bernstein said is to ask all the candidates what they will do to improve cycling and pedes-trian infrastructure in Rideau Vanier Ward and what they will do to improve safety for pedestrians in the midst of the truck routes on King Edward Avenue and Rideau Street to help voters who care about these issues make an informed decision.

The debate begins at 7 p.m. and will be moderated by Gi-nette Gratton.

News - Griffi n Walker was just six months old when his parents, Dan and Jennifer, began navigating what continues to be a complex path to meet the special needs that come with being diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

The bulk of the 10-year-old’s care has been provided by the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre, which celebrated an announcement last week that it will be one of 21 chil-dren’s treatment centres in Ontario on the receiving end of an additional $5 million to tackle wait lists and expand access to physiotherapy, oc-cupational therapy and speech-lan-guage therapy.

In addition to providing that fund-ing, the Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services is also contrib-uting an additional one-time invest-ment of $1.25 million to the centres.

“There are some families who are in trouble, that have a hard time, that don’t have the kind of support that we have managed to build up over 10 years,” Griffi n’s mom, Jennifer, said. “We are at the peak of what’s avail-able and there are many other fami-lies that do not have it like we do and they struggle a lot more than we do.

“That’s tricky, and this is tricky enough,” the Faircrest Heights resi-dent said.

The Ottawa centre will receive a $400,000 cut of the $5-million pot, and about $62,500 of the $1.2 mil-lion contribution.

Tears well up in Jennifer’s eyes when she thinks of families in a simi-lar position as hers, but who may be just beginning their journey in trying to access supports for their children.

Tracy MacCharles, minister of children and youth services, said during the announcement on Aug. 27 she has heard repeatedly from fami-lies that wait lists for services remain an obstacle, and there’s more the pro-vincial government can do.

“I know it’s a huge source of stress and frustration for families. That’s why this $5-million investment will hopefully – and I think it will – sig-nifi cantly reduce wait times for ser-vices and increase the number of young people who receive this very important support,” she said via live webcast from Sudbury, which was broadcast inside the Ottawa centre, located on Smyth Road, before a large crowd.

The money will allow 2,000 more children throughout the province to access the specialized supports they need across all of the centres.

Ottawa’s centre serves more than 3,700 kids each year, including Grif-fi n, at fi ve sites from south Ottawa and Kanata to Renfrew and Corn-wall.

News - Candace Mallette never planned to become a landscape designer.

She started as a mother on maternity leave, looking to spruce up her own Orléans backyard a little bit.

Her career has now blos-somed, and she began receiv-ing international attention.

“You don’t usually see a northern garden,” she said, adding most gardens featured in international gardening magazines are based in Cali-fornia.

Mallette doesn’t pretend that her garden is in California, and uses evergreen plants like red twig dogwood, hydran-gea limelight, Huron sunrise miscanthus and globosa blue spruce to create a useable space year round.

Years ago, when she was expanding her own garden, friends began to ask for help with their own landscaping.

She ended up studying on-line through the University of

Guelph’s landscape architec-ture program, and was hired to help a friend design a gar-den professionally. She then decided to leave her full-time job to start a landscape design company, called Candace Mal-lette Landscape and Garden Design.

“I wasn’t expecting to do this – I wasn’t expecting to love it,” she said.

She’s been able to hire sev-eral local staff, including two summer students on break from university.

Mallette is unique because she looks at the property as a whole, while she said most companies focus on hardscap-ing, such as decks. Softscap-ing, in contrast, is more plant-based.

“I think we are one of the only ones who focus on soft-scaping and design for the full yard,” she said.

She uses her own functional garden as a laboratory of sorts. Without an irrigation system or a regular watering schedule, surviving in her backyard is a plant’s fi rst test.

“This backyard I call the ex-perimental farm,” she said.

It also features small open-ings: “cheater paths” as she calls them for her two dogs to run, and space for her 10-year-old son to play soccer.

In the centre, which used to house a pergola swing, is an area with patio stones and seats. It’s been expanded now, but she originally removed the swing and covered the struc-ture with a canopy and placed it over the stone. She makes use of evergreens, which are low-maintenance and don’t require replanting from year to year.

She said if a property and garden is properly planned, it will look good year round, be functional for the family, and keep costs low over the long term. While Mallette has worked on some large estate homes without tight budget-ary constraints, most of the homes she has worked on have been local Orléans new builds, single family homes and town-homes.

I try and stay in Orléans as

much as possible, she said. Mallet’s tips for gardening

in Ottawa: • “It’s important to design

for all four seasons. I learned that the hard way,” she said. Evergreens are useful to keep the garden from looking bare in the winter.

• Design the garden for the entire family’s needs. Families with dogs can leave three feet between the fence and plants for dogs to run. For kids, the addition of a pergola swing can be converted after they grow by removing the swing

and adding a canopy and patio stones.

• Refl ect the decor of a home in the garden. Mallet suggests viewing the garden in terms of rooms – cooking area, eating area, sitting area, and a work area for a shed and such out of view.

• Repeat similar plant ma-terials with either colour or texture.

• Read tags and make note of what size they will grow to. Make sure to leave enough space to grow.

• Plant perennials in groups

of odd numbers. Grouping them together gives a natural fl ow. Even numbers make the eye break into groups instead of seeing the plants in a natural fl ow.

• Keep the garden manage-able with realistic maintenance times unless there are plans to hire a maintenance crew.

•For town homes or apart-ments, take advantage of plant-ers. Try and plant something tall, something that will fi ll it, and something that will spill over, like ivy or cedar, to fi ll it well.

The investment will help an esti-mated 500 more infants, children and youth each year circumnavigate long waits for core services, which range from three to six months.Access to some specialized treatments and thera-pies as well as to diagnostic services from physicians and psychologists can take between eight months and a year.

“But you can imagine if you’ve got a very young child that’s been identi-fi ed as needing therapy, that’s a long time,” Anne Huot, the Ottawa centre’s director of client programs and infor-mation, said following the announce-ment. “The longer you have to wait with a little one … it’s not ideal.”

After turning to the Ottawa Chil-dren’s Treatment Centre when their son was a baby, the Walkers connect-

ed with a social worker, therapists and a funding resource worker.

While their hurdles in navigating such a complex system are fewer al-most 10 years later, the couple feels better with last week’s funding an-nouncement because it means im-proved quality of life for many.The Walkers are currently waiting for their son’s new wheelchair, a custom-made device that needs to be updated as Griffi n grows and his health changes. Acquiring the new chair is an eight-month wait, and the provincial fund-ing will help reduce delays, Jennifer said.Waiting is stressful for parents who have recently learned their child has special needs and who don’t have anywhere else to turn, said Barbara Juett, a social worker at the Ottawa centre. Social work at the centre is one of the fi rst services families rely

on to connect to other supports as well as work through the feelings and emo-tions they are experiencing.

“So being able to have access in a quick way relieves a lot of the stress for the parents,” Juett said. “It’s all very scary. It’s a path that you’re not familiar with, and nobody else you know is going through it so we want to make sure parents connect with other parents too.”

Griffi n’s parents remember all too well the overwhelming process when they fi rst brought Griffi n to the centre when he was a baby.

“Griffi n is our fi rst child and we didn’t know any different, and all of a sudden there’s something signifi -cantly wrong,” Jennifer said.

“It’s very isolating,” added Dan, Griffi n’s father. “All you can think about is what’s wrong.”

New money to help reduce wait times for patient services

News - As the leaves turn to amber, Watson’s Mill will have its own liquid amber on offer during its annual whisky tast-ing event on Sept. 19.

Beginning at 7:30 p.m.,

enthusiasts are invited to join sommelier Geoff Skeggs as he guides guests through a sen-sory exploration of Scotland’s best scotch whiskies.

“He can talk about where these whiskies are from, how they’re made and what to look for when you’re sampling,”

said mill director Isabelle Geof-frion. The terrifi c selection of whiskies offer a wee primer on the best way to sniff, taste and appreciate “Uisge Beatha” -- the water of life, she added.

Each guest will receive four fl ights of scotch, paired with four different appetizers pro-

vided by the Mill Tavern in Manotick.

“When the guests are tast-ing, they’ll have more than one different fl avour to pair it with, so you can learn how each fl avour impacts the whisky,” Geoffrion said. Throughout the evening, guests can learn about

the origins of Scotch, various Scotch-producing regions and the factors infl uencing all the wonderful characteristics in-side each sample. Skeggs will discuss the whisky-making process and the roles of the distillery craftsmen, including the maltster, the mashman, the

stillman and the maltmaster. Tickets are $50 per person, or $40 for Watson’s Mill mem-bers. Tickets can be purchased in advance at Watson’s Mill between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily, or online at eventbrite.com. Only 80 tickets are avail-able, and Geoffrion expects to sell out.

“This is a popular event,” she said.

Proceeds from this event will go towards Watson’s Mill programming efforts.

News - Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau will run for another term, he announced Sept. 3.

If elected, it would be his fourth consecutive term in the riding.

He ran unopposed for the Conservative party’s nomina-tion in the riding.

The 67-year-old had health problems during his current term as he was diagnosed

with multiple myeloma, a plasma cell cancer.

Galipeau said his decision to run was health-based.

“I thought about it during the summer and it was really contingent on my health,” he said. Galipeau said he fi lled out his papers in pencil in June, and waited to make sure his doctors’ reports continued to be positive.

“I continue my blood tests, they continue to improve, and I have more and more ener-gy,” he said. “So I got a clean

bill of health and I decided to go for it.”

He fi lled out his informa-tion papers and went through the formal interview process to be accepted as a candidate. With no other candidates en-tered to run for the Conserva-tive party seat in Ottawa-Orlé-ans, Galipeau was acclaimed. The next election is expected in late 2015.

In the next election, the Ottawa-Orléans riding will change its name to just Orlé-ans.

Community - A pop-up art gallery in Westboro is now the temporary home to a vibrant collection of works, all in-spired by the distinct cultural heritage of the artists’ home-land.

Titled A Diasporic Trans-mission of African and Caribbean Art, the exhibit at Farah Art Gallery contains the work of 20 artists hailing from Dominican Republic, Jamaica, St. Lucia, Guyana, Haiti, Guinea, Ghana and Su-dan.

Organized by artist Nicho-las Ali, the gallery at 325 Richmond Rd. opened in Au-gust and recently extended its exhibit until Sept. 30.

The Guyana-born Ali is a member of the Ottawa School of Art as well as the AOE Arts Council – an Ottawa non-profi t organization that supports and promotes art appreciation.

For Ali, the gallery’s ap-

peal lies in the inspiration the artists draw from their home-lands, and how that comes together through their use of colour, compositions and landscapes.

“One of the things I noticed was that the works were very similar in terms of theme and colour,” he said of the collect-ed works.

“It’s very vibrant in colour - it speaks of life.”

Ali has been working with local artists and collecting works for the past 16 years. He wanted to bring as many cul-tures as possible together for the show, providing patrons of the gallery with a wider scope of culture to enjoy and learn

from.“Not a lot of people who

vacation in the Caribbean travel to the capital cities of those countries,” said Ali.

“In those cities, many of the great galleries reside. So, people who go to resorts don’t get to see the art those coun-tries have to offer.”

The exhibit’s featured art-ist is no stranger to taking viewers on an exotic journey through imagery. Luigi St. Omer is the son of Sir Dun-stan St. Omer, a renowned St. Lucian artist who instilled his observational works with the pride he felt in his island na-tion.

“My work is strongly in-fl uenced by my father and by impressionist artists like Van Gogh,” said St. Omer in a pre-pared statement.

“My art students, the purity and creativity of their youth, uninfl uenced by any prior for-mal arts training is also anoth-er source of inspiration.”

Donations to the gallery

and a portion of proceeds from painting sales will support fi ve artistic organiza-tions in Ottawa and abroad, including the AOE Arts Coun-cil.

It is Ali’s hope that some-one will come forward to pro-vide the group of artists, and others like them, with a more permanent space in which to exhibit their works and edu-cate aspiring artists.

“This is something I feel the community needs,” said Ali.

Lifestyle - This makes a fun meal to serve outside because the foil keeps them warm until serving and catches any drips. Try them over the campfi re or barbecue. Vary the heat in the sauce to taste and for a vegetarian version, omit the chorizo. Preparation time: 40 minutes. Cooking time: 10 to 12 minutes. Serves four.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 eggs • 15 ml (1 tbsp) milk • 5 ml (1 tsp) each chili powder and ground cumin • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt • 125 ml (1/2 cup) diced sweet red pepper • 75 ml (1/3 cup) diced mild or hot smoked chorizo sausage • 15 ml (1 tbsp) butter • 25 ml (2 tbsp) each light sour

cream and light mayonnaise • 15 ml (1 tbsp) fresh lime juice • Hot sauce (optional) • 4 23-centimetre (9-inch) whole wheat tortillas, warmed • 12 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved • 2 green onions, sliced • 125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped fresh coriander • 1 l (4 cups) baby spinach leaves

PREPARATION

In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, chili powder, cumin and salt until blended. Stir in the red pep-per and chorizo. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, and cook the egg mixture, stirring occasionally, until it’s set but still moist.

In a small bowl, mix to-gether the sour cream, mayon-

naise, lime juice and hot sauce (if using) until smooth.

Spoon one-quarter of the egg mixture down the centre of each tortilla, leaving about a 2.5-centimetre (1-inch) bor-der at the edge. Arrange the tomatoes, onions and coriander on the egg mixture. Drizzle the sour cream mixture over the fi ll-ing and pile the spinach on top. Fold over the sides and ends, tucking in the spinach and roll up. Wrap each tortilla snugly in a 23-centimetre (9-inch) piece of foil and seal the ends.

Heat a panini grill on me-dium-high heat and grill the burritos for fi ve to seven min-utes or until grill marks appear on the tortilla, opening the foil to check. Let cool for a couple of minutes and slice in half di-agonally right through foil.

STRENGTHENING THE BOND WITH DOG OBEDIENCE CLASSES

September is Responsible Dog Ownership Month and part of being a good pet parent is setting up your dog for success. There’s no better way to start the school year off on the right paw than by teaching a dog some new tricks with obedience training.

It is never too late or too early for your canine to benefit from basic obedience training and manners. Dog obedience training is one of the best things you can do to ensure a successful relationship with your dog. Here’s why:

behaviours and will not be confused by inconsistent or misunderstood commands.

or dogs, your dog will be much happier, relaxed and confident and will demonstrate socially-appropriate behaviour.

particularly if he runs out your front

door or is off leash at the local dog park; he will return on your command.

In celebration of Responsible Dog Ownership Month, adopt a canine companion this month from the OHS and sign up your furry pupil for some higher learning with an OHS obedience class for just $99. Adopt one of the four featured dogs and get 50 per cent off the cost of training — that’s a $70 savings on tuition! Information on the featured dogs is available at the OHS Adoption Centre

is available while supplies last. Dog obedience helps strengthen

the bond between dogs and their owners. Not only do dogs learn how to be good canine citizens, but the sessions are also a valuable experience for new owners who learn how to help their new friend be the best dog possible.

To learn more about the importance of dog obedience training, check out the OHS website at www.ottawahumane.ca.

He walks well on a leash and is eager to learn. Sam is laid-back with similar-minded dogs and would benefit from an active owner who he can enjoy the outdoors with! This sweet fellow will be a loyal friend for years to come.

Sports - There is nothing quite like getting out on the water with nothing but a sail, some wind and your skills to guide you.

That’s what 10- to 13-year-olds have been learning at the Kanata Sailing Club’s junior sailing program this past July and August.

This year, the sailing club offered four weeks of Can Sail 1 training at their headquar-ters on the Ottawa River off of Sixth Line Road for interested YMCA-YWCA National Cap-ital Region campers at Camp Otonabee, as well as one week available for Girl Guides.

The clubs partnership with the YMCA has lasted for four years and continues to grow, while this is the fi rst year the club has partnered with Girl

Guides of Canada.“The program is going

quite well,” said Emily Dur-ward, the club’s head sailing instructor.

During the program, chil-dren learn the basics of sailing, including safety, rigging and sailing techniques like tacking where a sailor maneuvers their boat in a zig-zag pattern to move in the direction the wind is blowing.

The program takes a hands-off learning approach when students are on the water, placing them each in one-per-son dinghies to learn fi rst hand how to deal with the wind, other boats and sail safely.

“They are only going to learn one way,” said Durward during one of the last days of the program on Aug. 29. “To get in and do it.”

However, Durward and an-other instructor are never far

away, watching from a nearby dock with a motourboat at the ready.

It’s in exciting and different experiences for young sailors, said Cole Joseph-Aubin and Jahleena Chambers, both 11-year-olds in the program.

“It’s really fun,” said Cole, who said he wanted to try the sailing program because it was something new.

Jahleena agreed, saying she tends to take part in music and art-related subjects, but want-ed to try sailing for something different.

Neither had been in a sail-boat before starting the pro-gram, but both learned to rig and sail small sailboats by themselves, under Durward’s watchful eye.

“You sit down on one side of the boat and it feels like you are going to tip the boat and you know you’re not,” said

Jahleena, who added she par-ticularly likes rigging boats.

Cole, on the other hand, likes the speed and fi nding the perfect angle to the wind to re-ally get going, he said.

“I fi nd it very creative,” he said, considering how hot a day it is, which way the wind is blowing and how to get up to speed.

Part of the learning process is messing up once in a while. Cole said he ended up being stranded for a few minutes once when his boom fell off.

The young students tend to be eager to get out on the water and don’t always think things through, said Durward. For the most part, that’s been a good thing, she said.

“They teach me a lot more stuff probably than I teach them,” said Durward. “They are very fearless, so they try new things all the time. They come up with new methods, which is good.”

The chief difference be-

tween teaching adults to sail versus kids is that the adults tend to think things through before making a decision, whereas the kids just go for it, she said.

The biggest reward for kids learning how to sail early in life is when and if they con-tinue sailing into adulthood, said Durward.

“Sailing is a long-term sport,” she said. “You can do

it all your life.”And it’s not just a sport,

she said. “You are learning a skill. You are using an element that is out of your control, the wind, in order to get from one place to the next.”

The club is just beginning to offer a next level for kids who have taken the beginner junior sail program. Find more information at kanatasailing-club.com.

Community - Already a fo-cal point for the Mechanics-ville community, Laroche Park will soon boast another good reason to visit.

Next spring will see a multi-purpose Sens RINK installed in the park, paving the way for year-round sports and pro-gramming. The RINK program (Recreational Investments in Neighbourhoods for Kids) is an initiative of the Ottawa Sen-ators Foundation, which has partnered with sponsor Trinity Development Foundation for this effort.

The project was announced on Aug. 28, two weeks after the opening of the city’s most recent Sens RINK in Bayshore Park. The goal of the Sens Foundation is to locate 20 rinks in underserved neighbourhoods throughout the capital region.

Sens RINKs can be used for hockey and skating in the win-ter, and basketball, ball hockey, and numerous other activities during the warmer months. Programming is provided by the city.

“It’s great they’re doing this,” said Mechanicsville Community Association presi-dent Blair Simser. “This is go-ing to be a great addition to the park.”

Laroche Park is undergo-ing a planned transformation, brought about by the commu-nity design plan created for Mechanicsville last year. Vi-sioning exercises attended by community members crafted a revitalization plan for the park, of which the Sens RINK plays

a large role.The plan was put on hold as

the community waited to see whether the Sens RINK would be awarded to Laroche Park, but now it can go ahead, said Simser.

“Now, I think we can move forward and come up with a new set of plans,” said Sim-ser. “I think there will be a lot of carryover … It’s a big park with plenty of room.”

The plans for the park in-cluded a revitalized rink (now replaced by the Sens RINK, as well as a renovated and ex-panded fi eld house, a sports fi eld, an updated splash pad, walking paths and upgraded lighting.

Trinity Development Group is a commercial property de-veloper that regularly makes contributions to educational, recreational, cultural and health programming in Ottawa.

After decades of little change, a slew of develop-ment proposals in 2012 put the neighbourhood of Mechanic-sville back on the radar of the city, and led to the resurrection of the community association. The CDP and park plan was a reaction to the development pressure. A plan for the cur-rently vacant Bayview Yards land – adjacent to Laroche Park – was crafted at the same time.

“During an April, 2013 vi-sioning exercise for Laroche Park held by the community association … the number one desire that came out of it was a paved rink surface,” said Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs.

Hobbs said she had hoped the rink would move forward

sooner, but a necessary envi-ronmental study pushed the decision date from April to August. Methane gas bubbles from an old dump regularly damaged the ice surface at the old rink -- fi xing the problem came in at a lower-than-antici-pated cost of $60,000.

“We got this information last Friday (Aug. 22),” said Hobbs. “We’ll know from the parks department where the rink will be located so we can move ahead with other elements of the park.”

The enlargement of the fi eld house might be accomplished by a special, dedicated fund (in April 2013 it was reported that Richcraft Homes offered this as a community benefi t), how-ever, it isn’t known if this offer is still on the table. The city’s parks department will fund the other park improvements.

The planning for the park was done in parallel with the city’s Sens RINK agreement so that everything would be in place if Laroche Park was cho-sen for a project location.

“This (announcement) means that the Sens will come and do a practice at Laroche Park, and kids will have the opportunity to have program-ming offered by the city,” said Hobbs. “Players will come to summer picnics and winter carnivals – that’s what you get when a community receives a Sens RINK.”

Because of the need for new changing facilities at the park, especially now that the rink is fi nalized, Hobbs said she will look into the possibility of hav-ing both projects take place at the same time.

Sports - Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley is hoping to tap into Ottawa residents’ fi tness interests with a new initiative to create an outdoor fi tness sta-tion network in the ward.

Hubley announced on Aug. 27 that the Kanata Recreation Complex and Deevy Pines Park will be the fi rst two locations to have equipment installed, with more to come along the Mono-han Trail and elsewhere.

The two locations will have various outdoor workout equipment like benches, pull-up bars, steps and more in-stalled by spring of 2015.

“We know there is interest across the city for these parks, and that’s what we hope to build on,” said Hubley.

The static workout equip-ment will include signs de-scribing the type of exercises that can be done on them, as well as a QR code that provides on online link to YouTube vid-eos showing the exercises.

But the effort won’t be enough to get most people to use the new equipment said Susan Kunstadt who came up with the idea.

Upon returning from a trip to Israel, Kunstadt was inspired by the outdoor gym facilities in that country and hoped to get Hubley on board to start some-thing similar.

However, the gyms Kun-stadt saw included moving fi t-ness equipment like you might see in an indoor gym. That’s the kind of equipment that will get people interested and fi t, said Kunstadt, a fi tness instruc-

tor of 39 years.“People are lazy creatures,”

she said. “They will move only when the equipment will force them to move.”

Hubley said that moving equipment was out of the ques-tion.

“We have different restric-tions than what they would

have (in Israel),” he said. “We can’t have moving parts in our equipment because Whitby, Ont. tried it and a child lost their fi ngers, so you’ve got to be very careful with the equip-ment that you pick,” said Hub-ley.

Kunstadt said that argu-ment doesn’t make sense as children’s playground equip-ment often includes moving parts of its own. “So I don’t think that’s a strong enough reason for not (installing mov-ing equipment),” she said.

Nonetheless, Kunstadt said she thought the equipment on its way to the Kanata Recre-ation Complex park and Deevy Pines Park will have some pos-itive impact and that she was happy to be a part of getting the program started.

The equipment for the fi rst

two locations will cost a little more than $100,000, said Hub-ley, with the project having just gone to tender. The funds for these locations comes from a cash-in-lieu-of-parkland ac-count – money that develop-ers pay when they do not have park space allotted for their development.

For further installations, funds will come from the cash-in-lieu account and sponsor-ship, as well as from the city – provided council votes in favour of Hubley’s appeal to have $150,000 in the upcoming budget for more equipment.

As equipment is installed and used, Hubley said he will be interested to hear feedback and suggestions for what type of equipment people like most and where other equipment might be placed.

Kanata councillor hopes to spark outdoor fi tness frenzy

SUBMITTED

Outdoor workout equipment installed in a park in Ottawa give an idea of the kind of equipment planned to be installed at the Kanata Recreation Complex park and Deevy Pines Park by next spring.

SPLURGE 7

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.
