News - Work is mov-ing ahead on the emergency culvert replacements for Ridgetop Road and Thomas A Dolan Parkway.

Both roads are expected to reopen by early August as long as the weather coop-erates, said West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry.

“The city is working to ex-pedite the replacement of the culverts and get these roads open as quickly as possible,” said the councillor.

Ridgetop was washed out by heavy rains on June 24, causing a section of road to fall away. The road remains closed between Thomas A Dolan Parkway and Dunhaven Drive. The rain storm also fl ooded a stretch of Thomas A Dolan between Dunrobin and Woodkilton roads, which remains closed.

A review of the washout at both locations has been com-pleted, including a geotech-

nical investigation into the soils. The city received the emergency permits and ap-provals needed from the Mis-sissippi Valley Conservation Authority, the Ministry of the Environment and the Minis-try of Natural Resources “to allow the work to progress as quickly as possible,” El-Chantiry said.

Two sets of culverts will be installed on Thomas A Dolan over the next two weeks and then the road grade will be raised 0.3 meters to stop wa-ter from pooling in the street.

“Weather cooperating, the work on this stretch of road will be completed by early August,” said El-Chantiry.

The work on Ridgetop is also progressing, said the councillor, adding the replace-ment culvert should be on site by the middle of next week.

“Once the material is on site reconstruction of the culvert will begin,” he said. “Again, weather permitting, the road should be open by early August.”

Still closed

Events - Herbfest will be sprout-ing all sorts of fun this weekend.

The 19th annual Ottawa Valley Midsummer Herbfest, hosted by the

Herb Garden, will take place Sun-day, July 27 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., rain or shine.

The goal of the festival is to intro-duce people to their neighbours who produce local, healthy, natural and organic products and to promote

healthy lifestyle choices in a fun and “magical” atmosphere.

“It was set up to help promote small, local businesses,” explained Gerry Bedard, co-owner of the Herb Garden.

Bedard says the event is about

more than just herbs. “That’s just the theme; we have

live music, children’s activities, dance performers, guided tours and more,” he said. “It’s a great introduc-tion to being outdoors and people are able to explore the grounds.”

There will be Nordic pole walk-ing, guided labyrinth walks, Henna tattoos, an appearance by the Korny Klowns, face painting and more.

Bedard encourages people to come for the entertainment as well. “Come early and wake up to the Marimba Band,” he said.

The Tine Rufaro Marimba Band will play from 9 to 9:45 a.m., the Blue Page Trio will take the food court stage from 11 a.m. to noon, the Harpists on the Porch: Heather Flinn and Joanne Griffi n will per-form from noon to 1 p.m., followed by Lucas Haneman on guitar at 1 to 2 p.m. and to fi nish off the entertain-ment is rising singer Brea Lawren-son at 2 p.m.

There are a number of demon-strations that will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

They include Vanessa Simmons: A Cheese Sommelier Talks Cheese; Kathleen Leeson: Shamanic Healer and Clinical Herbalist on The Dan-

ger of GMOs; Telsing Andrews, Ca-nadian Organic Grower on Edible Front Yard Gardens; herbalist Carol McGrath: Anyone Can Be A Herb-alist; Mike Nickerson, author on Living On Earth As If We Want To Stay; and Helene Anne Fortin on the Healing Art of Photography.

The Chef Cook-Off will be held from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in demon-stration tent number one. The Chef Cook-Off is considered one of the cornerstone events of Herbfest and will see three local chefs compete for top honours putting their culi-nary talents to the challenge.

This year the three chefs who are up for the challenge are Trisha Don-aldson, owner of Dish: Chef’s Table Catering; Derick Cotnam, chef at My Catering Group; and Whitney Toogood, chef at Saunders Farm.

Advance tickets are on sale and tickets at the gate cost $5 for a single and $15 for a family. Onsite parking is $2 (there is no parking on Old Almonte Road).

The Herb Garden is located in West Carleton at 3840 Old Almonte Rd.

Memorial fastpitch tourney to feature excellent competitionJeff Maguire

Sports – The ‘Gil Read Me-morial Fastpitch Tournament’ has become a highlight on the summer sports calendar in Ot-tawa and Eastern Ontario.

Players and fans alike are looking forward to the seventh annual edition, which will be staged in Carp this weekend July 25-27.

Chris Read, the son of the late Gil Read and his cousin Al Read are once again heading the committee which organizes the three-day tournament. Un-like last year, when the event reached its maximum 12 teams, this year was more challenging in terms of confi rming clubs to compete.

“Some years are like this. Summer is such a busy time and some people have other activities to attend. So a few teams who usually play in our tournament are unavailable this year,” Chris explains.

“But we now have 10 teams confi rmed. It will be a very good competition and we urge fastpitch fans to come out and enjoy some excellent games on the fi nal weekend of this month,” he adds.

One team who will be back is last year’s runners-up, the Elkland Thunderbellys from Pennsylvania. They lost to Sharon (Ontario) Lake Simcoe Lightning in the 2013 tourna-ment championship game.

Although Sharon Lightning is unavailable this time Thun-derbellys, from the small vil-lage of Elkland in north-central Pennsylvania, will be compet-ing for a third straight year.

“The Elkland people really enjoy our tournament and it is great to have them back again. After last year they are the early favourites,” Chris stresses.

Most of the teams and play-

ers involved this year are from either the Greater Ottawa Fast-ball League (GOFL) or other men’s leagues in the district.

Leading the Eastern On-tario entries will be Micksburg Twins, from the Pembroke area, the defending GOFL champi-ons. This season Twins are in the middle of the pack in the seven-team loop, but the stand-ings are very close at present.

The other GOFL teams who have signed on for the competi-tion are Stittsville 56ers, Kana-ta Pirates and local favourites, Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric.

Stittsville and Kanata are currently battling for fi rst place in the league.

Also penciled in are a local tournament team, the Ottawa Valley A’s, comprised of play-ers from West Carleton. They will be joined by Ottawa Broker 4 Tickets from the Glen Cairn Men’s Fastball League along with an all-star entry from the Trend Arlington Men’s Fastball League in Ottawa.

Returning to the Carp show-down is another perennial com-petitor, the Napanee (Shoeless

Joe’s) Junior Express. Napanee made it to the playoff round last year before losing to eventual tournament champion Sharon Lightning in the quarter fi nals.

The 10th and fi nal team to join the cast is Domville Aces, a tournament team from the Prescott-Brockville area.

CARP HOSTS

Again this year all games will be played on the two dia-monds at the Carp Fairgrounds, which are considered among the fi nest fastball fi elds in the region.

All proceeds from the tour-nament will go to the Gil Read Memorial Foundation. The foundation assists underprivi-leged youngsters who wish to play sports, but otherwise would not have the funds nec-essary to take part. The 2013 venture raised the most money yet for this worthwhile cause.

“It is nice to have Elkland, Napanee and Domville in-volved,” Read observes. “But with so many local teams and players taking part, it means we should have a lot of family

members and friends coming to the games. That should really help our attendance.”

The tournament is held in memory of Chris Read’s father Gil, a long-time fastball coach who died tragically in 2007.

The following year the fi rst competition was held at Car-lington Park in Ottawa. In 2010 the venture moved to Carp.

The teams have been matched in two, fi ve-team di-visions. The event opens with

four games Friday (July 25), two at 7 p.m. and two more at 9 o’clock. Action resumes at 9 a.m. Saturday and continues all day.

Sunday afternoon’s champi-onship fi nal is scheduled for 3 o’clock. The tournament win-ner will pocket $1,800 while the runner-up takes home $700. The third and fourth place en-tries will each receive $250.

A day pass for the tourna-ment is $5 per person while a

weekend pass costs $10. Chil-dren under 12 years of age will be admitted free.

Anyone interested in the tournament or those wishing to become a sponsor or make a donation can call Chris Read at 613-292-7379 or contact him by e-mail at [email protected]. For more informa-tion on the tournament and the Gil Read Memorial Founda-tion, visit www.gilreadmemorial.com.

Community - Thousands of Ottawa homes have been stamped with the work of Giorgio Maiolo.

Thirty-years of designing and in-stalling patios and entries, walkways and driveways, poolsides and walls has left the Carp-area businessman with a sense of satisfaction and no plans to slow down.

“It makes me feel really proud,” said Maiolo, who founded and runs Prolok Design & Build. “I can go into

any subdivision and I know I’ve done a beautiful job and made a family re-ally happy.”

And family is the backbone of Maiolo’s business.

He got his start in the interlock-ing stone business at age 15, when he went to work for his uncle at Central Precast, a local cement plant. He then worked for a cousin, installing inter-lock for commercial businesses; walk along George and York streets in the market and chances are you’ll see stone laid by Maiolo.

Then, in the summer of 1983, Maiolo was asked to help build an in-terlocking stone patio for the parents of a friend.

“I did a few jobs on my own on weekends. I realized that I was making a lot of money and I was only 19 years

old,” he said. “I realized that I maybe wanted to start my own company. I liked working in people’s homes.”

With business cards in hand, a pickup truck, a trailer, and a handful of tools, Maiolo and his brother launched Prolok in the fall of ’84.

Thirty years later, Maiolo is the sole owner, employing more than 20 people and owning 25 pieces of ma-chinery. His wife, Julie, and his son Cam, both work for Prolok. Many of his employees are the sons of other crew members.

“I’ve really brought in a lot of good men. They really have been a big boost to the business. They’ve really helped me grow, these guys, they’re like fam-ily now,” he said.

And the feeling is mutual. Six years ago, Perry Nichols was in

a knee brace awaiting surgery. Work-ing as a computer repair technician, he wanted to get back to working in the outdoors.

He was introduced to Maiolo by a mutual friend and Nichols was told he could have an interview on the job. He showed up on site, completed the tasks assigned, and he was hired.

Maiolo took him on even though his surgery was scheduled for March, when the work season would begin to pick up, Nichols said.

“He told me my job would still be here,” said Nichols, whose sons now also work for the company. “He didn’t hire anybody (in my place). He waited

for me to come back.”Nichols has become the boss’ “right

hand man,” said Maiolo, taking the position of crew chief.

“I’m a lucky guy,” said Nichols. “I really feel like, without sounding like a kiss-ass, I feel really connected to him, like a brother. It’s like I’ve known him all my life. I’m forever grateful, just for knowing him.”

This year, Maiolo hit another mile-stone having now completed stone-work for three generations of the same family.

“When you can work with your hands and build something, and see the satisfaction of the homeowners … you did it for them and that’s a great thing. That’s a high that I don’t think you’ll ever get tired of getting,” Maio-lo said.

The Maiolos hosted a garden party at their home for their employees and their families, their suppliers, and friends and family on Friday, July 18 to celebrate their three decades of business.

Cam Maiolo, who’s worked for his father for seven seasons, is study-ing architecture and has plans for his own business, designing and building homes while using Prolok to construct the outdoor stone features.

“I love building stuff, knowing when you’re done you’ve created something beautiful. People are al-ways really happy,” he said.

But it always comes back to fam-ily.

“I’m just really proud of my dad.”

Rezoning makes way for big-box stores in west endLaura [email protected]

News – Ottawa City council has signed off on changes to allow stores more than three times the size of what was envisioned for the Kanata west area.

City council went against advice from planning staff to amend the zon-ing bylaw to permit two stores with up to 3,600-square-metres of gross leasable fl oor area for two stores to be located at 345 Didsbury Rd. The concept plan for the area called for retail, but in smaller building up to a maximum of 1,000 square metres.

NEW STORES

The change makes way for two furniture stores: The Brick and Laz-E-Boy.

The change is inconsistent with the city’s Offi cial Plan – its blueprint for development – another reason staff recommended against it.

The site’s owner, Taggart Realty Management, requested the change during the city’s Offi cial Plan update last year, but was denied and appealed the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne

Wilkinson was in favour of the change because she said the plan for the area is 20 years old. Larger stores can help ensure the smaller stores survive and are able to continue serving residents in the area, she said.

The two smaller buildings planned for the plaza are a McDonald’s res-taurant and a Royal Bank.

This artist conception shows what part of the section of new stores, to be located at 345 Didsbury Rd. in Kanata, will look look. The development is three times the size of what was envisioned for the Kanata west area.SUBMITTED

OPINIONOPINION Connected to your community

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

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

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

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

she said.Hmmm. Are more implosions are

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

EDITORIAL

CHARLESGORDONFunny Town

The news that staff had signifi cantly mishan-dled the city’s contract to manage organic waste with Orgaworld was met with disap-pointment by senior managers and members

of council alike.As it should be. This council has a track record of

fair handling of the city’s fi nances. Signifi cant sums have been spent, but little of it in anything approach-ing a wasteful manner, mainly on large infrastructure projects that need to be completed sooner or later.

On Orgaworld, however, those councillors and city staff who remain from last term when the deal was approved have left a trail of mismanagement and poor decision making. The fi ndings of a report re-leased last week by the city’s auditor general indicate that the current deal with Orgaworld has wasted more than $7 million since the start of the contract thanks to unused capacity and excessive processing costs. It will cost millions more over the life of the 20-year contract, and as much as $10 million to cancel the deal early, if the city chooses to do so.

According to the auditor’s report, city staff are

to blame for the bungled contract – none of the expected research and analysis was done ahead of the matter going before council, the report says. But does this mean that the city’s management, especially city manager Kent Kirkpatrick, who has served in that position for more than 10 years, should be absolved of any responsibility in the matter? Should those who voted to approve the deal?

Of course not. While the likes of Kirkpatrick have accepted some level of responsibility for this debacle, residents should be angry. Under what circumstances should any decision be made without the appropriate information available to back that decision? River Coun. Maria McRae, now chairwoman of the envi-ronment committee, asked for that information yet never received it. That’s when questions should’ve been asked. Kirkpatrick told council the possibility of this situation repeating itself “has been removed” through protocol changes, but this failure should’ve been evident to anyone paying attention at the time.

Voters would do well to consider these revelations come election time in October.

A failure of leadership

West Carleton Seniors’ transpo services improving, still too costlyTo the Editor:

Re: Transpo Services Im-prove for Seniors (West Car-leton Review, July 17).

I read Susan Cain’s letter of July 17, on seniors’ transporta-tion services, with great inter-est. It was well-written and de-scribed the services provided by OC and Para Transpo today.

It also explained how these services have improved since 2002 and I am proud to say that two committees that I chair ad-vocated strongly for many of these improvements, especially getting rid of the three rural zones.

I want to thank my commit-tee members for all their advo-cacy efforts to date.

Our work is not done, how-ever, and the situation is still not ideal, nor anywhere near as good as it was for seniors living in West Carleton before amalga-mation which occurred in 2000. At that time our municipality provided all seniors and people with disabilities in West Car-leton with free transportation to medical appointments.

Many seniors who never drove and those who do not feel safe driving in the urban area do not qualify for Para Transpo, as it is a service for people with mobility problems only.

Before amalgamation, West Carleton Township, through a purchase of service agreement with our local Community Re-source Centre, would send a volunteer driver to pick up a client and take them to their ap-pointment. The driver accom-panied them and often stayed in the waiting room until they were ready to go back home.

I remember, as a volunteer driver at that time, I was direct-ed not to ask for any payment and if they did give a donation it was to be recorded on a do-nation form so that income tax receipts could be issued.

This was a compassionate transportation service and it still serves the community, but it is no longer fully subsidized and can cost up to $50 a trip.

After years of lobbying, the city did make money available for some increase in subsidies to

serve Ottawa’s rural residents. It is a blessing for those on low income, especially if they have to make several appointments every week. Every client should ask if they are eligible.

The problem with the city’s website is that it does not cau-tion viewers that while Para services are provided, rides are not always available when you need them. You could have an appointment with a specialist booked three months ahead but cannot book Para until the day before and you may not get one. Many residents gave up Para when this happened to them be-cause it caused great anxiety to have to scramble to fi nd another means of transportation.

The Community Resource centre wants to be called a week ahead.

One man called a taxi to go to Elizabeth Bruyere Hospital and had to pay close to $200 re-turn. The number of refusals has declined recently, so those who need drives should try again.

To the Editor:The release of the Orgaworld audit on July 9

illustrates a systemic problem at City Hall – a se-rious lack of oversight by senior managers and councillors.

The Orgaworld contract is not the only one where senior staff and councillors appear to have been asleep at the switch. There is also the Airport Parkway pedestrian bridge and the mix-up at Jack Purcell Park where the wrong Jack Purcell was honoured and we now have racket-like sculptures which were hastily recast as urban trees.

I have some sympathy for the councillors. Ot-tawa is a large and growing city and the demand on their time is onerous. However, the lack of oversight is appalling and needs to change.

Fixing a problem is so much more costly in terms of time and money than if it were just done properly in the fi rst place.

Take the current severance problem that is top on mind for so many rural residents. I am not convinced that councillors were aware of or un-derstood the implications of adding, through the Offi cial Plan, the D-5-5 condition to single-lot severances. When concerned citizens challenged the condition earlier this year, staff responded, as requested, with a report recommending the con-tinuance of the D-5-5 condition on severances.

To appease delegates who objected to staff’s recommendation, the Agriculture and Rural Af-fairs Committee responded by writing a letter to the Province to have them review the D-5-5

guidelines. The Offi cial Plan, it seems, rules, and there appears to be little hope of having it changed under the current mayor and council.

Rural councillors appear to be convinced that council as a whole would not support the rural councillors were they to recommend removal of the D-5-5 condition – a condition that is not re-quired in most of the surrounding rural munici-palities.

So much for the rural voice in Ottawa. I question why the rural councillors could not

see what a devastating impact the D-5-5 condition on severance would have on the lives of rural resi-dents – not only those three that were denied their severance after spending thousands of dollars (in my neighbour’s case, $17,000), but on the rural

residents who now have this uncertainty hanging over their heads should they decide to sever a lot for their retirement, or for their son or daughter.

My neighbour asked his councillor for help and was told he should go see his MPP as the D-5-5 condition was a provincial matter. We all know, and the city has admitted that indeed, this is not a provincial matter – it was the city’s choice to introduce the D-5-5 condition on single-lot severances.

In the case of Orgaworld, the pedestrian bridge, and yes, the severance problem, we expect better of our councillors.

Shirley Dolan, president, Carleton Landowners Association

We should expect much more from our city councillors

Cut trees will result in more deer collisions

To the Editor:When driving west on March Road

toward the stop light to Dunrobin Road, a line of trees can be seen at the right along the CN tracks.

The (West Carleton Review) article on June 26 ‘Police warn motorists to be on lookout for wildlife’ said that West

Carleton is an area where vehicle-wild-life collisions are most common.

Some of those trees have now been cut so deer will have lost their protection and will be forced toward March Road and collisions will be even more frequent.

Fran DawsonConstance Bay

Transportation still costly

Every home in Ontario must have working smoke alarms - it’s the law. Install smoke alarms on every level of your home andoutside sleeping areas. Test the alarms once a month and replace thebatteries at least once a year.

Continued from Page 9

Unfortunately, the reason there are fewer refusals is because the city cut out ‘rural-to-rural’ trips.

This means that Para will not take a resident from their home to the Medical Center in Carp.

I agree with Susan Cain that the city does make their services sound great (and sometimes they are), but I stand by my earlier position that Seniors’ Transportation services in West Carleton have declined since before amalgamation and they are so costly now that some people do not go to the doctor when they

should.Adele Muldoon

Dunrobin

P.S. Here is one ‘good news’ item from the city that is not well known.

If you or someone you know has or will have tickets to major events being held at the TD Place (Lands-downe), their ticket will include free Para service to and from the events when the ticket is shown to the driv-er. This also includes those residing in the rural areas (for more infor-mation, please see the OC Transpo website). Too bad this doesn’t apply to trips to the hospital.

Opinion – The only thing wrong with cities is the people. As in too many.

Call me a curmudgeon, but since escaping the national capital fi ve years ago, I fi nd every excuse to avoid going back. Congestion, the line-ups and elusive parking spots – why bring back the stress?

On Sunday I voluntarily chose to drive in. It was to see the Fury’s fi rst ever game at the newly reconstructed TD Place.

Unfortunately it broke a NASL league record with 14,593 tickets sold. That’s a lot of people. Yet oddly enough it didn’t feel that way. And nary a car to be seen.

The old fi eld at Lansdowne held plenty of memories: CFL and Grey Cup drama;

Women’s World Cup and FIFA U-20; and The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, and Tragically Hip. But when cracks started spreading in Frank Clair Sta-dium in 2007, even the cranki-est sentimentalist agreed it was time to do something else.

Fast-forward past the con-troversies – sole-sourcing, less than 100 per cent greenspace, moving historic buildings, potential traffi c tie ups – and

council entered a partnership. The Ottawa Sports and Enter-tainment Group (headed by ‘67s owner Jeff Hunt) con-vinced the city to spend $129.3 million to renovate the stadium and for its share of the park-ing.

OSEG committed $117.3 million for the construction of retail and residential con-dominiums on the site. OSEG would own the new commer-cial development and operate the stadium, with a portion of the revenues directed back to the city.

‘CAT’ BARKEEP ON FIELD

We – two dads, fi ve boys - were there to cheer on young twins from Arnprior who played a pre-game scrimmage.

We also wanted to see de-fenceman Kenny Caceros, the Kanata player and longtime

Cheshire Cat bartender who plays for the Fury.

OK – basically I was there to check out the new digs. With all the hoopla in city papers and newscasts, my curiosity

was piqued. Can you squeeze 15,000 soccer fans – 25,000 football fans two days earlier – into a Bank Street building?

Yes, if you begin as we did by parking at Carleton Univer-sity. It is amazing how much space a ton of metal on rubber takes up.

We ditched the minivan and waited about one minute for a school bus to pick up us and a couple of dozen others. So much for sardine-ing it with city people. We got the back-seat, which means a lot to kids who walk to school.

The driver didn’t ask for tickets. The cost is included in the ticket price at the stadium.

Five minutes later, having cut through an upscale neighbour-hood, we poofed in front of Lansdowne.

Coming over the Bank Street Bridge, the fi rst thing you notice is the homage to Canada’s forestry industry. Wooden strips spaced about a foot apart roll up the south side exterior. It is the image used in the stadium’s lacrosse-like logo.

At the drop-off point, the same wide promenade funnels us cattle-people down toward the ticket booths. The walk offers an impressive view of

the still charming Aberdeen Pavilion.

Tip: buy the cheapest soccer tickets available, than wander freely. The one catch has to do with crossing the on-site pedestrian bridge. We were asked three times for our tick-ets near that stretch. Seemed a bit much.

Watching soccer from eye-level will cost you a few more dollars, but it sacrifi ces your ability to see play-making. The stretch passes and other big picture strategies are best seen from our seats in the el-evated section. And way fewer

people there, a big plus.The beer guy comes along

just as often, so that’s how to spend all the money saved on tickets.

Arnprior’s Pianosi twins, Sam and Jake, had great fun on the fi eld playing against their own team before the main show started. They tied 1-1. They took more than

enough time to stare up in awe at the mountain of seats on ei-ther side. Mom and dad as two specks in the universe.

Caceros’ team lost to the New York Cosmos 1-0. The Fury had 55 per cent posses-sion time, seven more shots, plenty of opportunities, but couldn’t get the soccer gods on their side. NASL, one down from the top league in North America, puts on excit-ing soccer. With no commer-cial breaks or video replay in

the big screen, you have to pay close attention and hope the beer guy counts the proper change.

The best part of the day was the post-game walk back to the buses. Minimal jostling with the other cattle-people. A brisk pace, about one minute to wait for a bus – again the back seat! – and in no time we were back in the minivan heading home again.

All and all it gets two thumbs up from this curmudgeon.

Getting back to nature, with the bites and rash to prove it Opinion - You never

know what you’ll fi nd in a garden.

To the untrained eye, my garden seems to be a mass of green with no veggies or fruit just yet. The tomatoes are green, the beets, car-rots and onions have not yet started to crown and the potato plants aren’t fl ower-ing, so I don’t think they are ready to dig yet.

Just for fun, I lifted one of the vines the other day. It’s covered in prickles so you have to have gardening gloves on or you’ll be suf-fering with hair-like slivers for the rest of the day.

I didn’t expect to fi nd anything under the vine. There were a few green gourds and ovals – squash in the making. And there, lurking like the great croco-dile of the garden, was a two-and-a-half foot zuc-chini. Wowza.

I remember my friend said you could stuff those, so I set about fi nding a rec-ipe for the Farmer to use at Sunday dinner.

The two seeded halves of the zucchini were trimmed down to fi t on the cookie tray. I put out the ingredients and watched as my husband mixed together hamburger and tomato sauce (spaghetti sauce left over from night before worked just fi ne), sliced sausage, rice and egg to glom it all together. Then he stuffed the zucchini and covered each half with a fi ne layer of shredded cheese and a sprinkling of parme-san. It was delicious.

I was quite disappointed that none of my beans or carrots came up this year from the seeds I planted. I guess I’m better off with plants.

Or maybe they would have come up if I hadn’t left the sprinkler on that night back in May. All night. Any-way, I’m looking forward to my tomatoes ripening so I can make salsa.

On Saturday I was back in the garden for our weekly weed-tackling session when something rustled under the pumpkin vines. Immediately I thought of the little black snake I had seen in the fi eld that moment, but no, it was just a barn cat seeking some shade away from fl ies.

I don’t like it when ani-mals surprise me in the garden. One year I stuck a pitchfork into the fl owerbed at the stone fence, only to hear a scream from some-thing not human.

Immediately I pushed the giant toad off the end of my fork and then threw the fork into the bushes. The toad looked at me. He actu-ally looked at me, and then he hopped away, seemingly unharmed.

I saw him again later that year – at least I think it was him, because he gave me

DIANA FISHERAccidental Farmwife

the hairy eyeball like we had something to settle. No more pitchforks for me. I stick to a hoe and spade now.

My vegetable garden is be-

hind the miniature house that the Farmer built for his girls when they were little.

I saw the hole leading un-der the structure but never saw who made it. There is a group of baby groundhogs living under the school bus shelter at the end of our lane, so I just assumed that, once weaned, one little groundhog had decided to make his home under the playhouse.

The Farmer tried to catch it in a live trap with smelt and cat-

food for bait. No luck. Mustn’t be the right food for his liking.

I was yanking fi stfuls of weeds out of the garden when I met the playhouse occupant. One of the fattest groundhogs I’ve ever seen came bounding across the meadow and nose-dived into his dug hole under the structure.

So I may have some help weeding my garden and harvest-ing veggies in the near future, if we don’t discover the right type

of bait for the live trap.Oh and there’s one more

surprise in my garden. It isn’t poison parsnip, poison ivy, hog-weed or stinging nettle, because I know what they look like. But something is the cause of this lovely rash I’ve got running up my forearms.

Maybe it would just be easier to sign up for a farm share and let someone else do the garden-ing. Please pass the calamine lotion.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE

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

This is one of a series of several articles

intended to build awareness about the

impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO.

In addition to the spiritual and community

benefi ts of gifting to a registered charity,

naming a registered charity as a benefi ciary

in your Will can also be an effective way

to minimize the fi nal income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning,

a deceased’s income tax liability could

be signifi cant. Various income inclusions

at the time of death, such as deemed

capital gains and the fair market value of an

RRSP can result in a higher than expected

estate income tax liability given Canada’s

graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash

legacies, bequests of real or personal

property, securities, life insurance proceeds

and all or part of the residue of the estate.

All of these gifts can potentially generate

tax credits available to reduce an estate’s

income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting

of certain types of capital property to

Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will

may avoid capital gains but still maximize

the tax credits available from such a gift.

Please feel free to contact any member

of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee

for more information about minimizing the

tax liability of your estate and how you can

make a lasting impact on the kids and

families at CHEO. We would be happy to

help you create your Forever CHEO legacy

for generations of CHEO patients.

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

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

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

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

Lifestyle - Our world is dominated by insects. Their numbers exponentially ex-ceed those of all other crea-tures and their diversity is mindboggling.

Many own unusual body shapes, some (like those of Praying Mantids) have inspired the creation of

monsters in science fi ction thrillers. Others possess un-rivalled beauty; rare is the person who fails to gasp in admiration at the sight of a Luna.

But not all insects draw accolades of appreciation. In fact a few groups inspire ut-

terings of foul language.They are also behind the

success of billion-dollar en-terprises that manufacture repellents, protective cloth-ing, and armies of killing devices. The latter include “bug zappers,” sinister de-vices of which some attract and electrocute not only de-sired targets but also other night-active insects includ-ing harmless and benefi cial species.

We may not like them, but biting insects are genuinely complex and fascinating creatures. They attack us not out of spite but to gain blood for the development of their eggs. For that reason only the females of biting fl ies ac-tually bite.

Some biting fl ies are so tiny they slip through the fi n-est of screen, others so large that upon their arrival they inspire fear. In order of in-creasing size the biting fl ies include Biting Midges (a.k.a. “no-see-ums”), Black Flies, Mosquitoes, Stable Flies, Deer Flies and Horse Flies.

All of these fl ies are liv-ing marvels. They don’t fi nd blood donors by randomly landing on objects but rather by using sophisticated detec-tion systems.

Eyesight is one, and the eyes of Deer and Horse fl ies (Tabanids) are particularly

large and often brightly coloured, some quite stun-ningly. Tabanids sit and wait, patiently watching for large dark objects to move. The fl ies go into high gear when carbon dioxide is detected.

Ward 5 West Carleton-MarchMID-SUMMER HERBFESTOn July 27, the 19th Annual Mid-Summer Herbfest is taking place at the Herb Garden (3840 Old Amonte Road). It runs from 9am-5pm (rain or shine). There will the live music, dance performances, a food court, harps on the porch, a beer barn, children’s activities, a chef cook-off and most importantly a showcase for over 85 local artisans, food producers and small local businesses. Visit herbfest.ca for more information.

WILD PARSNIPWild parsnip has started to become a concern for residents as the weed is spreading its way across the rural areas of Ottawa. It is a common plant that shows up in abandoned yards, meadows, old fields, railway embankments and roadsides. (On the homepage of eli.el-chantiry.ca, under the “Latest News” section, there are photos of what Wild Parsnip looks like). The plant produces sap that contains chemicals that can cause burns, rashes or blisters when skin comes in contact with it. Residents should avoid coming into contact with this plant as much as possible.

The City of Ottawa’s Public Works Department is currently working on managing the infestation of wild parsnip. They are working to control the spread through roadside grass cutting. They are using all available mowing equipment to complete cutting along roadsides. The first cut along rural roadsides is now complete. The second rural roadside grass cutting is in progress, and where possible, extends to fence lines. In areas of known infestation, a limited number of reach arm mowers will be used to cut areas not easily accessed by standard equipment.

Some of our neighbouring municipalities, that have higher levels of infestation, are doing pilot projects involving roadside spraying. The City of Ottawa has been in contact with these municipalities and will follow-up on the results of their pilot once complete. Initial research indicates that spraying would be very cost prohibitive in the City of Ottawa and may also result in a negative perception of the City’s environmental sustainability. There is also a strict prohibition against treating any ditch areas that may contain ground water for potential contamination of the local watershed.

MOSQUITOESAnnoying mosquitoes are making it difficult for residents to enjoy spending time outside this summer. My office has received a few inquiries in terms of what can be done to help control the mosquito population.

Control of mosquito populations in the City for disease control purposes only is conducted by Ottawa Public Health (OPH). For example, to reduce the health hazards associated with West Nile Disease, OPH coordinates the West Nile Virus Prevention Program. The program targets the species of mosquito (Culex pipiens) which is known for spreading West Nile Disease. Licensed pesticide technicians treat Ottawa catch basins and storm water management ponds. This program also places a number of mosquito traps across the city, whose yields are analyzed weekly for species composition. The results of these analyses, along with other risk factors such as temperature, history, etc., contribute to OPH’s programming initiatives. Their analysis of traps in the Ward 5 vicinity have not shown any of the species of mosquitoes that could be carriers of West Nile Disease.

Due to the late spring, many of the species in the Kanata North/Carp area have come out at the same time, whereas traditionally the various species have different cycles throughout the season. This may be contributing to an increase in population of nuisance mosquitoes.

While neighbouring areas, such as the City of Gatineau, has a program that control for nuisance mosquitoes in certain areas, it does not control for the species that spreads West Nile Disease, and hence would be outside of the scope of the Ottawa Public Health program. Any new programs targeting nuisance mosquitoes would need to be assessed by the City for cost implications.

As the summer progresses, OPH will continue to monitor the situation and take immediate action should further public protection be required.

Mosquitoes and Black Flies also use eyesight to fi nd a blood donor, and they too are equipped with special sensors in their antennae for detecting water vapour and carbon dioxide in the air.

When a mosquito homes in on you and performs little aer-ial spirals as it approaches, it is tracking trails of both those items. Thus, if you sweat ex-cessively or breathe heavily, you attract more mosquitoes.

Upon landing, a mosquito inserts its needle-like mouth-

parts into a blood vessel, adds some saliva loaded with anti-coagulants, and then begins to pump blood into its body.

Other biting fl ies access blood in a different way. They slice into your skin, often in a scissor-like motion, sever-ing several capillaries that pool blood into the ensuing depression.

Anticoagulants in their saliva are pumped into the wound and the blood is sponged up with another set of mouthparts. The anticoag-ulants ensure that blood keeps fl owing; those chemicals and

more importantly the way the fl ies access your blood are why bites from Black Flies and Tabanids bleed so much while those from Mosquitoes do not.

Recent studies have shown that Deer Flies are less at-tracted to striped patterns than they are to solid colours. So to attract fewer of those fl ies you might consider wearing those patterns.

Oh yes, and be sure not to breathe!

News - A surprise donation of $128,000 from an anony-

mous man earlier this month will allow a single Kanata mom to undergo the aggressive sur-gery that could save her life.

“This was a God-given

miracle,” said Stephanie Head-ley. “My life will literally be saved.”

Headley was diagnosed with systematic scleroderma in 2001,

an auto-immune disease that, in layman’s terms, is turning her to stone inside and out.

After undergoing various treatments, all of which have only helped to mitigate her symptoms but not stop the dis-ease from slowly killing her, Headley decided to make one fi nal push.

In May of this year she started fundraising to pay for a stem-cell transplant – the clos-est thing out there to a cure. In the hopes of having the best chance at surviving the risky procedure, Headley decided to see a specialist, the Chicago-based doctor who pioneered the procedure on auto-immune diseases.

The procedure costs $125,000 U.S.

After the fi rst few months of fundraising, Headley’s health was starting to fail.

“The disease started to prog-ress and I started to show more pain and more gastro-intestinal symptoms and more breathing problems,” said Headley.

“I’m too sick to even run fundraisers, and people are start-ing to think about fundraisers in

the fall, but (my family and I) are starting to think, ‘We’ve got to go soon.’”

In two months, Headley, her four children and her parents had raised $13,000.

That all changed on July 3.“I got a phone call,” she

said. A man, speaking in a mono-

tone voice, asked if he could drop off an anonymous dona-tion in the form of a bank draft in the next 20 minutes.

A few minutes later, the man knocked on Headley’s door in Katimavik, wearing a page-boy cap, large sunglasses and a jacket zipped up to his chin.

“He shows up at the door and he says nothing to me,” said Headley. “Very straight-faced, he hands me this envelope, and then I turn around and hand him a thank-you card.

“Just before he turned around to leave, I said, ‘Bless you,’ and he smiled … and then he turned around and left. Not a word, not one word.”

After the stranger left, Head-ley opened the envelope and looked inside.

“I couldn’t believe what

I was looking at,” she said. “When I realized it, I collapsed on the fl oor. I started crying and screaming and yelling, ‘Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!’”

Headley told her mom, then her dad, and after verifying the note was real, she told her chil-dren. The reactions were the same: “My God, you are going to live.”

With $138,000 saved up, Headley has scheduled her pro-cedure for Sept. 22.

The pair of fundraising web-sites where people can donate to Headley will stay open for the next while to help her save up for travel expenses and medication costs that go above and beyond the $125,000 U.S. procedure.

With an 80 per cent chance of survival, Headley hopes to be home and nearly 100 per cent free of the disease by late December.

“Anybody out there who is hoping, praying, waiting, may-be in the same position, wheth-er it’s them or their child, have hope. Keep the faith. Miracles do happen,” she said.

Anonymous donation will pay for mom’s life-saving surgery

The 90th annual Baird reunion held in Carp last month attracted about 230 people from West Carleton and various areas of the Ottawa Valley, as well as families from To-ronto, Barrie, Michigan, Fort McMurray and Vancouver. The oldest and youngest - Ruby Munro, 91, and Brantley Davis/Lesway, fi ve weeks old, got together for a photo.

The impressive Baird family reunion cake included a family tree photograph from the late 1940s or early 1950s of the fourth gen-eration of the family.

Ottawa Police collision reporting centre opensNews - The fi rst of three Ottawa

Police Service Collision Reporting Centers (CRC) is now fully opera-tional – providing a “faster, safer and more effi cient process” for vehicle collision reporting.

“After a very successful testing period, the 211 Huntmar Drive CRC

was fully opened to process west end collision reports without injuries and where the vehicle remains drive-able or towable,” said Insp. Sandra McLaren, who is leading the CRC implementation project.

A police service news release says that all motorists involved in

collisions in Ottawa must contact the OPS Communications Centre at 613-230-6211. From there, it will be determined if the collision can be reported through the CRC or if an of-fi cer needs to attend.

Then, if a motorist is being re-ferred to the CRC, they will be given

a police report number to bring with them.

“This means the rest of the public can get on with their day, rather than deal with unnecessary traffi c conges-tion that results when involved vehi-cles remain on the roadway while the offi cer processes the collision report at the scene,” said McLaren.

As a secondary benefi t, drivers in-volved in collisions can report at the CRC as soon as possible. In cases where there is more than one vehicle involved, drivers do not have to at-tend at the same time.

However, the window of opportu-nity for drivers to report collisions at the CRC is limited.

“The Highway Traffi c Act states that drivers involved in collisions are required to report to police forthwith,

which means as soon as possible,” said McLaren. “If a driver has not reported within 24 hours, police will begin a fail to report collision inves-tigation.”

The centre is open seven days a week. Check the website for hours of operation at the Huntmar station.

For now, only collisions in the west end that meet the criteria will be diverted to the Huntmar CRC. The other two locations at 474 Elgin St. and 3343 St. Joseph Blvd. will be up and running by the end of the year.

It is expected that 70 per cent of all collisions, or 13,000, will be re-directed to a CRC by the end of this year. This will free up about 8,600 hours of patrol time, which will be redirected to responding to more se-rious crime.

Community - Variety, excellence, nurturance, trust and adventure are the fi ve values of 5 Star Camps.

Anita and Sean Hopper started the summer program in 2007 to give children and youth a fun and educa-tional summer program.

For ages fi ve to 12, 5 Star offers a sports adventure, dance, fi ne arts and music camps on the sprawling grounds of Venta Preparatory School in Carp, where Anita and Sean work during the school year.

“We push the kids to get out of their comfort zone, but in a nurtur-ing, comforting way,” said Sean. “I love working with the young kids.”

The camps offer advance instruc-tion, as well as a ropes course and climbing wall, archery, swimming, and bouncy infl atables.

“Kids need to be active,” said Sean. “It’s the whole package.”

Maggie Vandervoort, 11, said the fi ne arts camp is teaching her differ-ent techniques.

“It’s something new every day,” she said, as she used paints and

markers to create a colourful graffi ti piece.

“It represents what I did in my life, what I’m planning on doing in my future,” said Maggie.

Out on the archery course youth were practicing their aim, while oth-ers took advantage of the bouncy in-fl atables. A group of youths practiced

their team work on the ropes course, while others tried their hands at scal-ing the rock climbing wall.

On average, the Hoppers see 1,000 children participate in their camp ev-ery summer.

“It’s been crazy,” said Anita, add-ing she and her husband plan to in-troduce an academic portion to the summer camps next year.

Spots are still available for a number of the camps this summer. For more in-formation, visit 5starcamps.ca.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Two days later, Dawn and her

husband welcomed their fi rst grandchild.

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

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

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

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

Sports - Lansdowne Park, the Ottawa Sports and Recreation Group and the RedBlacks have survived their fi rst hurdle after a successful performance at TD Place Stadium on July 18.

The Ottawa RedBlacks fi rst home game was a trial by fi re, not just for the team, but for Lansdowne’s facilities and OS-EG’s planning.

The RedBlacks started out slow, allowing Toronto to score the fi rst fi eld goal and keep the home team from several touch-

down opportunities throughout the game.

The Argos managed to score the fi rst touchdown at TD Place, catapulting them past a fi ve-point defi cit by the start of the fourth quarter. But a se-ries of fi rst downs and key fi eld goals resulted in the RedBlacks regaining the lead, then losing it with a minute and 33 seconds left, and taking it again to fi nish the game with a 18-17 victory.

RedBlacks defensive line-man and Arnprior native Justin Phillips described the game as “an emotional victory,” and the start of winning habits for the team.

“No win is easy in the CFL,” he said. “It always comes down to a few plays, who plays better in the fourth quarter and luckily

that was us tonight.”Though he admitted that a

touchdown for the RedBlacks would have made the win all the sweeter, it was a win, and it was for the fans, the coaches and everyone involved with the stadium.

“It was wonderful,” said Bob Whitcomb from Arlington Woods. “The facilities are great. It was everything I thought it was going to be and more.”

The RedBlacks grabbed fans’ attention by the end of the second quarter as Ottawa took the lead, making the score 9-7.

The second half of the game picked up on that momentum, with Ottawa forging ahead through an interception and several fi rst-down passes.

The fourth quarter had fans on their feet as the score clock counted down to what looked like a RedBlacks win. Though the Argos fought back with a fi eld goal, the RedBlacks fi n-ished the game to the applause of some 24,000 fans.

“It was an awesome game,” said fan Jimmy Fata.

This fi rst hometown win has the RedBlacks leading the East-

ern Division. The team will de-fend their position during their next game in Hamilton against the Tiger-Cats on July 26.

Sports – A break-out Na-tional Hockey League season has resulted in a big pay-day for Carp’s Calvin de Haan.

The New York Islanders an-nounced last week they had re-signed de Haan to a three-year deal worth $5.9 million.

A high draft choice of the Islanders, de Haan had his ca-reer slowed by injury. However, the Carp-raised player earned a promotion to the NHL squad just before Christmas after start-ing in the American Hockey League with Bridgeport.

De Haan, 23, stayed with the Islanders for the rest of the year, scoring three goals and 13 as-sists in 51 games.

He was often paired with Travis Hamonic on the club’s top defensive pairing and is ex-pected to play a major role as the Islanders attempt to return to the playoffs.

De Haan, who was drafted 12th overall by the Islanders in the 2009 NHL draft, was com-ing off an entry-level contract.

De Haan started playing the game with West Carleton Minor Hockey. He moved on to the Ot-

tawa Valley Titans and then the CJHL’s Kemptville 73’s before starring with the Ontario Hock-ey League’s Oshawa Generals in 2008-09.

The Generals’ third-round draft selection progressed quickly. He fi nished second in the league among rookie de-fensemen with 63 points in 68 games, played in the Top Pros-pects game, and was named his

team’s rookie of the year and top defenceman. He represent-ed Canada at the 2009 World Under-18 Championships, re-cording six assists and a plus-six rating in six games.

The NHL biography for de Haan notes that he credits his parents for having had the most infl uence on his career with their constant support and en-couragement.

Calvin de Haan, who high fi ves students after a fl oor hockey game at an Ottawa schools, has just signed a multi-million-dollar contact with the NHL’s New York Islanders.

Lifestyle - Mother always said my brother Emerson was going to grow up to be a promi-nent scientist ... or at the very least an inventor of note.

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

And he was forever dream-ing up some idea that would make life easier on the farm. These ideas would be fi rst put to paper, and if he could man-age it, put into use ... but rarely did any of them amount to a hill of beans.

Take the time he thought if he put plank like devices on the horses feet in the winter time it

would prevent the horses from plunging belly-deep in the snow in the bush.

Fortunately Father wouldn’t let him near the team, but Em-erson was so sure the idea was one of the best he had ever dreamed up that he took his de-sign and tucked it under his bed with his collection of maps and pictures of buildings the likes of which we had never seen before, and thought we never would.

And then one hot summer day he got another spurt of imagination. It happened when we were both swinging on the gate behind the cow byre. The cows were waiting to be put in-side to be milked, and the horse

fl ies were as thick as thieves.I felt so sorry for the cows.

Their tails weren’t nearly long enough to swat the fl ies off their front parts, and so I would often stand with a leafy branch and swish it over their backs chasing away these dreadful fl ies, which I hated with a pas-sion. I was lamenting to Emer-son that the horse fl ies even fol-lowed the cows into the barn. And I commented that once I started to milk I had to forgo chasing away the fl ies.

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

That night, while the rest of us sat looking at Eaton’s Cata-logue at the kitchen table, Em-erson was in a corner with his pad of graph paper.

Invention gets Emerson in hot waterMARYCOOKMemories

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

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

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

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

long periods of standing, walking or exercising

unsupportive footwear

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

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

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

Joey was found sitting on the side of highway 17, he had a small plastic bag stuck over his head. He was slowly suffocating

to death, when he reached the shelter he was in rough shape, he was starving, cold and in shock. After many months of TLC, Joey has grown into this handsome boy. He was very

traumatized from his experience and will require a quiet, patient home to help him adjust. He is a quiet cat, he enjoys attention & being petted, he likes to play with his favourite toys. It takes him a little while to trust you, but once he does it`s worth the wait. He is not very adventurous and likes to have a safe place to retreat to, he would be best suited in a home with no small

children or dogs. After everything Joey has been through, there is nothing we would love more than to see him find a forever

home where he will be spoiled and loved!

Emerson’s inventive fl y-swatterContinued from page 42

No one paid any attention to him ... this was the way he spent many an hour.

But the next day he took me into his confi dence.

I should have known better. The only time he ever confi ded in me about something as pri-vate as an invention was when he needed help.

He had been working in the drive shed for most of the morning.

And when he came out, he searched the barnyard to make sure no one was in sight.

He had two long poles ... cleaned off branches really, off the lowest part of the big maple in our front yard, and an armful of binder twine. He beckoned me to come with him behind the cow byre.

“If this works, I’ll make a fortune,” he said. “See if you can sidle up to that cow over there.”

Now, I know why I was taken into his confi dence. Most of the cows were pets to me, and I had

no trouble getting old Bossy to stand still.

Emerson approached her rear end slowly with the two poles and the binder twine. Bossy was swishing her tail like mad. Emerson had to make two or three grabs before he got a hold of it.

I was feeding hay into her mouth on Emerson’s orders. He placed the two hefty limbs along each side of the tail and very quickly wrapped the bind-er twine around them because Bossy was beginning to wonder what was going on at her other end.

When he had it secured, by wrapping some binder twine around her back legs, he dusted off his hands and said: “Now when she swishes her tail, it will reach farther and if my de-sign is correct, she will kill the horse fl ies on contact.”

He added he would only try it out on one cow to see how it worked.

Now, under ordinary circum-stances nothing would have come of this exercise, and it

would have gone the way of all Emerson’s inventions. But that evening Father was late coming in from the fi elds.

We brought the cows inside in a hurry, and he went right at the milking. It was almost dark in the barn, as he positioned the stool at Bossy’s full udder. But you didn’t need much light to milk.

Father was a scant foot from this weapon Bossy had attached to her tail. The horse fl ies loved the dank heat of the barn and the place was buzzing.

Emerson was standing at the barn door, which now I realized was very fortunate for him.

Bossy’s tail was moving ever so slightly, and then one of the fl ies must have really done some damage, because that ap-parition Emerson had attached to her came around her rear end with a ‘why won’t ya’ and con-nected with the side of Father’s head with such a whack that it knocked him off the stool and sent the milk fl ying.

Emerson was always up to somethingContinued from Page 43

Father just sat there for sev-eral seconds trying to fi gure out what hit him. Then he got up and slowly made his way to-wards Bossy’s tail.

He stood for the longest time looking at the two branches and

the binder twine that he hadn’t noticed before. He let one roar out of him, ordering Emerson to get in there at once. I turned to the door where Emerson had been standing. All I saw was our barn cat licking her paws and lapping at the spilt milk.

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.

Steak with sweet peppers, sweet potatoes and red onion perfect for the barbecue

Lifestyle - New Zealanders love their beef as much as their lamb.

Here is a popular recipe us-ing a dry rub to fl avour steak, which is then served over a base of herb-grilled sweet pota-toes, sweet peppers and topped with grilled onion.

Preparation time: 20 min-utes

Refrigeration time: one to 24 hours

Grilling time: 12 to 18 min-utes

Serves: Four

INGREDIENTS

Steak rub:• 1 tbsp (15 mL) each packed

brown sugar and salt • 2 tsp (10 mL) each gar-

lic powder, paprika and dried thyme

• 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) chili pow-der

• 1 tsp (5 mL) smoked pa-prika or chipotle powder

• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each dry mustard and coarsely ground black pepper

• 4 beef tenderloin or rib-eye steaks (each about 6 oz/175 g), about 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick

• 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil • 1 tsp (5 mL) fi nely chopped

fresh rosemary • 1 clove garlic, minced • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) seasoning

salt • 1 to 2 large sweet potatoes

(1-1/2 lb/750 g) • 2 sweet peppers (1 red, 1

into thick rings • 4 tsp (20 mL) vegetable oil

PREPARATION

Steak rub: In small bowl, mix together brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, chili powder, smoked paprika, mustard and pepper. Press rub generously onto both sides of

steaks; place on plate and cover with plastic wrap.

Refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

In medium bowl, mix to-gether olive oil, rosemary, garlic and seasoning salt. Peel and slice sweet potato cross-wise about 1/4-inch (1 cm) thick; toss in rosemary oil to coat well. Cut peppers into four wedges. Slice onion 1/4-inch (1 cm) thick.

Place sweet potatoes, pep-pers and onions on greased grill over high heat. Grill covered, for three to four minutes or un-til tender, turning occasionally.

Place sweet potatoes, pep-pers and onions in separate bowls. Keep vegetables warm.

Reduce heat to medium-high; grill steaks for about four to fi ve minutes per side, or until desired doneness.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To learn more about Let’s Talk Seniors and some of the upcoming topics or for more information about Crystal View Lodge or The Court at Barrhaven, contact Holiday Retirement Residences at 613-225-4560 and be sure to visit www.holidayretirement.com http://www.holidaytouch.ca/our-communities/.

Giving back where they buildThey started small.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

the start and fi nish.

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