Julie Douglas holds her one year old daughter Catherine as six year old daughter Alice (right) is beside her as they enjoy their spaghetti dinners at the fundraiser for the Le Phare Elementary School’s new play structure to replace one destroyed by a fire. The Douglas family now lives in Cumberland but used to live in the Le Phare school area and attended the fundraiser at Colonel By Secondary School on Wednesday, Aug. 9 to support the fundraising effort.
Mix community spirit with spaghetti and what do you get? A hugely successful fundraiser. That’s what happened at the Colonel By Secondary School auditorium on Wednesday, Aug. 9 when the place was jammed for a fundraising spaghetti dinner for a new play structure at Le Phare Elementary School which had been destroyed by a suspicious fire. Folks of all ages — kids, parents, seniors — filled up the 18 tables set out for the dinner, with the line up of those waiting to be served continually winding down one side of the auditorium and then all across in front of the stage. And community support came not only in the form of this turnout, but also in the form of dollars and cents. Martin Bertrand, a member of the organizing committee of the
Autumn Classic golf tournament, put together by Beacon Hill-Cyrville ward Coun. Tim Tierney and local businesses that raises funds for community causes, turned over a donation of $8,000 from the Autumn Classic to the Le Phare play structure campaign. Bertrand praised the community spirit which exists in the area, and he should know, as he grew up in the Beacon Hill area and has continued to live there and raise his family there. His wife has similar community roots, having attended Colonel By Secondary School. The community’s spirit was further recognized when youngsters who raised $1,300 for the Le Phare play structure campaign with a le monade stand were presented with certificates from the city. Coun. Tierney, accompanied by Mayor Jim Watson, handed out the certificates to the youngsters.

Missing were Tayah Zahab, 9, Eva Zahab, 12, and Dominique Remillard, 9. And there was still more community fundraising. The Beacon Hill Community Association has donated $1,000 and Community Association president Jeff Kaluski was at the spaghetti dinner, energetically selling 50/50 raffle tickets to assist with the fundraising. There was also a silent auction held in association with the spaghetti dinner. In addition, a GoFundMe campaign has raised over $7,000 for the play structure campaign.

Put together 500 corn on the cob and 300 people and you have the makings of a great corn roast. That’s the story at the first annual free community corn roast at Optimiste Park in Vanier. City of Ottawa Rideau-Vanier councillor Mathieu Fleury got together with the Optimiste Club of Vanier to host the event on Aug. 8 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The Optimiste Club provided fruit for the event while other contributions came from the Vanier Community Services Centre and the Beechwood Market. Lifeguards and residents donated a total of $200 to provide an opportunity for less fortunate kids to go to the Genest Pool.
Police believe a Vanier arsonist has struck again after an early morning fire on Aug. 8. Sgt. David Christie of the Ottawa police arson unit said it’s not the same type of fire that they’ve seen previously from the suspected Vanier arsonist, but because it’s located close to other suspect fires, it’s being investigated as if it is. Eight other fires are believed to have been set by the same person since August 2016 have been in Vanier. All started between midnight and 3 a.m. Usually, the fires have been set by lighting combustibles in recycling boxes. In the Aug. 8 fire, a fence on Granville Street near Shakespeare and Montfort streets was set on fire. Emergency services were called at 1:20 a.m.

Witnesses have told police they saw a man leaving the area on a bicycle. Christie said they don’t know if he was involved in starting the fire, but with little to go on, they’re following up all new information. “In most crimes, the longer (they) occur, the more evidence that is generally left behind,” Christie said. “But with arson, generally the longer it continues, the less evidence that is left.” Earlier this summer, police met with residents at a meeting hosted by the Vanier Community Association to speak about the fires and update them on how they’re investigating, which they believe are linked. Police would like to speak with the man seen at the scene. Anyone with information on who he is, or any of the other fires, is asked to call the police arson unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 3770 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Being next farm to Uncle Alec’s though, meant that we got a look at the new Plymouth before anyone else at Northcote. And what a beauty it was. Certainly many steps up from the old Model T with the hole in the back floor, and the two front fenders different colours, which we got in a trade. I was just as excited as was my little friend Velma when the new car came into her family. My sister Audrey wondered where the money came from. Did Uncle Alec sell off his herd of cattle, or his workhorses? No, he didn’t. The cows and the horses were right there in the barnyard. Uncle Alec, the good neighbour that he was, was more than generous letting us all have a ride in the new Plymouth, taking Mother to

But I knew the new car had lost its glory when I was over playing with Velma one Saturday, and Uncle Alec had parked the car close to the barn. When he wheeled the car over to the house to tell Aunt Bertha he’d be back in time for supper, a Holstein calf had its head out one back window, and a sheep out the other. Uncle Alec headed into Renfrew to market the two, and the fastest way to get there was in the Plymouth that only a scant few months before was treated like a member of the family.

Funds for infrastructure BY NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com
Five Ottawa community health service providers received cash injections from the province on Aug. 10. Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi said the money — $454,000 in total — will pay for the upkeep of infrastructure and allow the organizations to concentrate on helping people in need. “Usually, politicians like to talk about new things,” Naqvi said at the headquarters of Salus Ottawa on Scott Street. “We forget how important it is to maintain existing infrastructure.” Naqvi said basic renovations to outside cladding, guardrails, boilers, and walkways may be covered by the

grants from the Community Infrastructure Renewal Fund. “Agencies can then focus on providing services to the community,” he said. The Ottawa health service providers receiving funds include: * $158,500 for Salus * $147,895 for Billy Buffet’s House of Welcome * $99,300 for the Carlington Community Health Centre * $40,000 for the Ottawa Hospital * $8,800 for the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre Ottawa-Vanier MPP Nathalie Des Rosiers spoke at the announcement, adding that 68 organizations across the province will receive funds from the provincial program, with the total spent at $7.3 million. Lisa Ker, executive director of Salus, said her organization has 14 buildings in Ottawa, most of which provide supportive housing for people dealing with mental health issues. “We hope to integrate our tenants and our buildings into the community seamlessly,” she said, adding that the funds from the province will help replace heating systems. Ker said the money allows for advance planning and upkeep. “This avoids emergency situations that can create havoc in people’s lives,” she said.

Healthy lifestyle habits help SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Did you know that children who never consume sugary drinks could potentially rank higher in reading comprehension than their peers? Did you also know that exercise stimulates memory and that adequate sleep improves concentration? Over time, various studies have shown that healthy lifestyle habits — like eating well, exercising daily for 30 minutes and sleeping 8 to 12 hours per night — contribute to greater academic success. As a parent, you could ensure your child thrives in school by helping them adopt the following habits: • Eating a well-balanced breakfast every morning that includes whole grains, fruit, dairy and a source of protein (peanut butter, tofu, eggs, etc.). • Consuming at least five servings of fruits and vegetables per day.

• Restricting foods that carry little nutritional value (fried foods, chips, soft drinks, sweets, etc.). • Exercising daily (playing sports, walking to school, biking, jumping rope, etc.). • Avoiding activities that stimulate the brain right before bed (video games, TV, etc.). • Finding time to relax every night with the help of a warm bath, soft music, a good book, etc. • Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. It’s a well-known fact that children learn from example, so be a good role model for your son or daughter: eat well, exercise often and keep your stress level to a bare Submitted minimum.

Music and studying SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Do you usually listen to music while you study? It’s actually a healthy habit that may help improve concentration and lead to better grades. Most specialists recommend listening to soothing instrumental music for increased learning. Classical music is particularly effective at creating a study environment for tasks that involve logic, planning and critical thinking. Jazz and rock music might help get your creative juices flowing. For those who are studying literature, a new language or social sciences, pop music works like a charm. Take a quick break every once in a while and gather your thoughts to a disco, reggae or country rhythm. For some people, studying in complete silence is the best (or only) way to achieve optimal productivity.

Making homework a game SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
It’s not always fun to sit down with children to do homework. Imagine what it’s like for them, after a whole day of school! Turning homework into a game can help take the stress out of homework. With the following strategies you can make this obligation more fun for everybody. • Play school with your child. Find yourself a little desk, let her pretend to be the teacher, and ask her to show you how to write out her spelling words. This is especially effective if you create a “blackboard” with a piece of paper taped to the wall. • Allow your child to move around while working. After sitting all day at school, your son might have difficulty sitting still at the kitchen table. Allow him to stand up, and ask him to say his multiplication tables while throwing you a ball. • Reward work with play. Come to an agreement with your child to play with him or her for 5 minutes for every 15 minutes of concentrated effort (or any
other ratio that works). • Invest in some educational computer software that will help your son feel excited about learning grammar, math, and other subjects. • Exchange privileges for achievements. For example, you might agree that your child can go to bed 15 minutes later than usual if she can finish her math homework in fewer than 15 minutes. Timing her will increase her concentration, but be realistic about the challenges; you don’t want to discourage her. • List each homework job to be done on a separate piece of paper and let your child pick the next task to tackle. Include a surprise note, on which might be written “take a ten minute break” or “enjoy a second story at bedtime”; this will add a touch of anticipation and encouragement to the jobs. • Be encouraging rather than stressed out. Congratulate your child for good Jupiter Images results and be positive about future atHomework can be fun with parents and students enjoying spending the time together. Parents can also tempts.

A tarmac travesty T
ake 300-plus people, stick them in a tube for seven hours, turn up the temperature and then keep them confined for another six hours. It’s a recipe for unhappy customers. An Air Transat flight stuck on Ottawa airport’s tarmac for six hours on a steamy July 31 was a travelling travesty. The plane was diverted to Ottawa from Montreal due to storms. There was a stormy atmosphere inside the plane too after passengers waited and waited to take off for Montreal. It’s not entirely clear what caused the lack of service to the plane – fuel and water. The airline – which has received a serious black eye from all the horror stories shared by passengers – and the airport have traded accusations about what services were offered to the Air Transat flight, and what services were declined. All we can be sure of is that a seven-hour flight ended up being about double that time, and that the stay in Ottawa was brutal due to lack of air conditioning on a hot day.
Hopefully a Canadian Transportation Agency investigation will get to the bottom of it. It shouldn’t have happened but it did. But job one is to make sure it doesn’t happen again. In May, the federal government introduced legislation to create a passenger bill of rights. The goal is to make sure travellers know the service levels to which they are entitled, and provide compensation if travel arrangements are disrupted by events within the airline’s control. It’s a fair request of air carriers. In fact, common sense says Canadian travellers should have been protected by such measures a generation ago. Maybe it’s a sign of poor quality across the board that Canadians need to spell out such minimums of service in a federal law. A new passenger bill of rights should be passed quickly and it should be enforced. Every political party should be on board with better protections for captive airline passengers.
Football is not the leader in concussion stats
I
n a recent column for the American Press, author Paul Newberry predicted the demise of American football. His argument centred on concussion statistics, citing a University of Boston study that found of 202 former professional football players, nearly all had a brain disease resulting from blows to the head. It’s a neatly, cherry-picked stat that Newberry uses to make football out to be a “gladiatorial sport”, which he argues has no place in modern society. Three years ago, my eldest started playing football. I was pretty uncomfortable with the idea. Watching a bunch of seven-to-10-year-olds engage in this wild and violent behaviour often left me feeling nervous. Relatives have frequently questioned why I allow my son to continue in such a violent sport.
But is football the most dangerous sport in America, as Newberry would like us to believe? The short answer is no. In 2015, the British Journal of Sports Medicine published a study Capital Muse examining concussion risk among athletes per 1,000 minutes of athletic exposure (AE). The research included At the same time, I watched my son a review of 23 international studies on thrive in team sport for the first time, concussions in sports.

On The Amazing Race, pairs race through cities in Canada and the world, and complete local challenges. The last-place teams get eliminated one-by-one until there’s one team left. Team Adam and Andrea Cavaleri, a brother and sister from Montreal, started the episode with an advantage, having finished the last leg in Bangkok, Thailand, in first place. Within the first few minutes of the show, Mayor Jim Watson got some screen time. Racers had to make their way to city hall in order to get their first clue from the Mayor. “Thanks, buddy!” screamed Collingwood’s Kenneth McAlpine, partnered with best friend Ryan LaChapelle, as they grabbed the clue from the mayor. From there, they were off to Mooney’s Bay at Hog’s Back, where they had to organize a set of red and white SUVs into specific parking spots in order to spell Canada from an aerial view. The second challenge took teams to Sandridge Road, to the RCMP stables, where racers had to complete a horse-riding challenge alongside officers. “Riding around on one of their horses was a true honour,” said LaChapelle. He said it was “sick” that they actually got to ride around Ottawa on the horses. The next detour — or challenge the teams had to compete — was a choice between Tiptoe Through the Tulips at Commissioners Park at the corner of Preston Street and Queen Elizabeth Drive, or an art scavenger hunt at the
Canada Council Art Bank on St. Laurent Boulevard. They had to replicate a floral display, or find 20 specific works of art to photograph and place into a binder from the massive collection at the art bank. All the teams decided to take on the Tiptoe Through the Tulips challenge, but the art bank got a moment on the show later as a punishment challenge. From there, teams went to the Byward Market, for perhaps the most Canadian moment of the show. Team members Karen and Bert were first to arrive and found the U-turn station, which would allow them to punish another one of the competing teams. “I’m a bit nervous to U-turn anybody because it’s just not in my nature, said Edmonton’s Karen Richards, competing with her husband, Bert. “I feel that we should run our own race and not try to put others down.” They moved on to the Canadian Museum of History clue without using the U-turn against any of the competitors. Later in the episode, the Cavaleris made the same decision. The second team to arrive at the U-turn, Toronto couple Sam Lambert and Paul Mitskopoulos, had the opposite reaction. They quickly threw up McAlpine and LaChapelle, commenting they’d been waiting episodes to do that. At least LaChapelle got to see his brother, an Ottawa resident, who made a brief appearance running down the road in the market to wave at his family member, in what the team called “a sign from the heavens.” They did a special Canada 150 challenge at the Canadian History Hall, writing a version of the Canadian Citizenship Test. The Cavaleris won their second consecutive
episode by racing up to the upper level of the museum, overlooking Parliament Hill. Ottawa — plus racers Adam and Andrea Cavaleri — were the winners of the day, while Andrea Croxen and Ebonie Roberge finished
in sixth and last place. They assumed Ottawa would be the last stop on the road for them, but the pair will get a redemption shot — it turned out, in a twist, Ottawa was a non-elimination leg.

Choral day camp offered honour of Canada 150 celebrations; and in February, the children’s choirs presented The Kid, a silent film by Charlie Chaplin. Led by Kirkland Adsett, St. Matthew’s music director, the choir camp will introduce children to ensemble singing and — for those who need it — learning how to read music. It will also include recreational activities such as an Amazing Race Scavenger Hunt, introductory orienteering activities, arts and crafts, and guided outings to nearby attractions. “I believe the choir is just like a sport,” says Madighan, head chorister in the girls’ choir and a member of a jazz band. “You have a coach, a team, and if you enjoy it, you will not find it hard not to add it to a list of activities you may have,” she says.

Members of the St. Matthew’s Anglican Church children’s choirs assemble outside the front of the church. St. Matthew’s has a long tradition of choirs including not only its women’s and men’s choirsd but also its boys and girls choirs. Last Febgruary the children’s choirs presented “The Kid,” a silent film by Charlie Chaplin.
For children who love to sing, there’s a great opportunity coming up in late August: a free weeklong choral day camp offered by St. Matthew’s Anglican Church in the Glebe. Running from Monday, Aug. 21 to Friday, Aug. 25, the choral day camp allows girls and boys to explore life as a chorister. St. Matthew’s has a long tradition of choral excellence and boasts women’s and men’s choirs, as well as its boys’ and girls’ choirs. These choirs often perform together, especially for large concerts such as the annual Messiah (Nov. 17 and Nov. 18 this year) and for carol services leading up to Christmas. Last spring, the choirs sang a delightful selection of Canadian compositions, in

Assess the situation. How long have you been present while the dog has been in the car? Is the dog in distress? Signs of heat distress include excessive panting with the tongue fully extended, stumbling, glazed eyes, disorientation, hiding in the foot well (which is the “coolest” place in a vehicle), convulsions/seizuring, and ultimately coma and death.

The solution? Never leave a dog in a hot car. Even a couple minutes can have grave consequences. And if you see a dog in a hot car what should you do? Remember to T.A.N.: Take information. Note the make, model and licence plate number of the car, the exact location of the car and description of the dog: breed, colour, size etc. Remember that windows cracked open do not significantly reduce the internal temperature of a car.
DAY, MARCH 26
“Our choirmaster, Kirk, is fair and understanding of prior commitments and helps the choir balance their schedules. Choir has given me friendships, my love of singing, and a greater understanding of the church.” Good choral training goes well beyond teaching children to read music. Scientific studies suggest that early music training has a profound influence on cognitive development. It has been linked to skills such as learning languages, reading and mathematics. When St. Matthew’s tracked down former choristers for its 50th anniversary of the men’s and boys’ choirs, a pattern emerged. Several had achieved great success in music, literature, languages, broadcasting, sciences, the ministry and law. Many top singers and musicians — classical and otherwise — first sang in church choirs. Former St. Matthew’s boys’ choristers, for example, include the great international baritone Gerald Finley, acclaimed counter-tenor Daniel Taylor, Grammy Award-winning composer Paul Halley, and Seventeen Voyces’s founder and composer Kevin Reeves. The Ottawa-born Finley said singing in a choir instilled a sense of professionalism, teamwork and discipline. “I liked the drama of the church services — full of ceremony and orderliness. It was like joining a big club, and we got paid, of course," he said. Children aged six and up are invited to this choral day camp at St. Matthew’s Church, 217 First Ave. If they enjoy the camp, they may wish to consider joining St. Matthew’s choirs. Members of the children’s choirs rehearse twice a week and receive honoraria for their commitment and involvement. Those unable to attend the choir camp are welcome to attend an “open choir” rehearsal in September. The times: boys’ choir, Tuesdays from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.; girls’ choir, Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. No musical experience is necessary. For further information about the choral day camp being offered at St. Matthew’s, please contact Kirkland Adsett, music director, at kirkland. adsett@yahoo.com or 613-234-5482. Please visit St. Matthew’s website at www.stmatthewsottswa.ca for more information about the church and the choirs.

horoscopes LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 You are at a turning point in your life and now may be a good time to make a few key changes, Leo. They may involve making new friends or exploring a new career.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you are eager to listen and learn, but you also want to create your own experiences and share them with others. Find a balance between being a teacher and a student.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even if you have a lot to get done, you will be able to make decisions on your feet and adapt as the situation calls for it this week. Changes can come about quickly.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you excel at thinking through decisions before making them. This careful approach tends to work in your favor, but some decisions can be made more quickly than others.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, an important decision must be made in the very near future. Your judgement may be clouded by extraneous information, so try to block unnecessary noise.
