The Rideau Sports Centre is proposing a complete overhaul of the clubhouse - something the owners are looking to do in the upcoming years. Currently, the clubhouse, formally the Rideau Tennis Club, will officially open to the public on Nov.1.

Big changes coming to former Rideau Tennis Club BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

There is a new vision for a popular tennis club in Overbrook. The new owners of the former Rideau Tennis Club, at 1 Donald St., have just unveiled the extent of this vision. “It is incredible to be here and to

build on this field of dreams,” said Nicki Bridgland, the new chief executive officer of the club. Formerly owned by the RA Centre, the Rideau Tennis Club was sold to a new organization to be known as the Rideau Sports Centre at the end of July. First order of business was to change the name – officially – to the Rideau

Sports Centre. The facility on the east bank of the Rideau River is the oldest tennis club in Ottawa, dating back to 1912. There are 19 outdoor tennis courts for summertime play. Eight courts are available under two air domes in the winter. The RA had purchased the Rideau

Tennis Club in 2004 amid efforts to rebuild the main clubhouse after a fire on Dec. 12, 2001. “The focus for me is making sure past members of the club are welcome here and that all new players feel this is a place to call home,” Bridgland said. See ACCESS, page 25

Tickets are $20 in advance online at glebeca.ca/Sneezy or tickets can be purchased at the door for $25. Aside from the main event, there will also be a family-fun event taking place during the afternoon, beginning at 2:30 p.m. The free community event will have cake, music and activities. There will also be the opportunity to get a little creative. “We don’t just want to be past looking, but future looking,” Creelman said. “We will be creating a new work of art that will eventually be hung in the community centre.” The art project, created by Glebe resident Kathrine Von Dehn, will have the words ‘Glebe is Community’ in stencil — allowing residents to add their own artistic flare to the piece. “During the event people can decorate the letters, add

The event runs until 4:30 p.m. with a small ceremony at 3 p.m. Creelman, a longtime Glebe Community Association member and former pres-

ident, started organizing the event last year and said she’s loved looking back at the success from the neighbourhood and residents. “The response has been positive and it has been drawing attention,” Creelman said. “We tend to live in the present and we tend to forget all the volunteer hours we have done. A great community doesn’t happen by accident, it’s about people being involved, and what the GCA has done and has always tried to do is create a livable com-

munity.” Creelman said she has found it interesting to look back and recall all the times the community has banded together to save landmarks in the Glebe. “During the last 50 years the GCA has worked with others to protect the closing of a number of places in the Glebe including the Glebe Community Centre which the city wanted to close in the 90s, Mutchmor and First Avenue were both slotted to close and the Sunnyside library at one time was supposed to close. The Aberdeen Pavilion was threatened to be torn down, way before the Lansdowne redevelopment and now the pavilion is the centre of the park.” Creelman said those are just a few examples of how the association has worked hard over the years to protect and make the Glebe a great, livable community.

Police struggles to meet budget targets BY KIERAN DELAMONT Metro Ottawa

The Ottawa police are grappling with the issue of rising costs, while continuing to try to find savings in an alreadystretched budget. The police department will need to delay contributions to its capital reserves in order to meet the police services board’s direction that the budget grow by no more than two per cent in 2018.

While the budget is on track to meet that target, significant concerns were raised that by delaying contributions to reserve funding, the board was simply kicking the can a bit further down the road, rather than addressing the larger issue of rising costs. “My priority was not to cut staff and not impact services, and that’s what this budget does do – it delivers on the two per cent (maximum increase) without touching those areas,” said

police Chief Charles Bordeleau. But on the way it was done he added, “It’s not my preferred option, but that’s the option that we’re left with.” “You can only wring a cat’s neck so much, and then eventually you’ll kill it,” said Jim Durrell, vice-chair of the board. “I think we’re very quickly approaching this point for police services.” The board had previously budgeted that it will be able to find at least $2 million in savings

each year until at least 2021. They remain confident in that regard, even though for 2018 they were only able to scrape together $600,000 in savings. “Over the past number of years, we have achieved the $2 million,” said Bordeleau. “But that’s becoming more challenging.” Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, who chairs the board, was frustrated by what he saw as an electionyear budget. “It shouldn’t be, but it is,”

The Police services board recently painted a picture of a service facing significant resource pressures. he said, suggesting that the two per cent directive should be up for debate by council. “Let city

council understand that we’re plugging holes here. We’re not really achieving (anything).”

Performers kick off their shoes during CityFolk STAFF

Warm weather seemed to do the trick for Ottawa’s annual fall music festival. CityFolk organizers reported this year, the summer-like weather even had the performers impressed. “I’m always happy to be able to perform barefoot,” Jack Johnson said.

Former professional surfer and singer-songwriter Johnson performed on Sept. 14. CityFolk executive and artistic director Mark Monahan said he was pleased festival goers enjoyed this year’s lineup, which aside from Johnson, Fred Penner, Matt Mays and Amanda Marshall performed over the fiveday event. Back at Lansdowne Park for the festival, organizers

reconfigured the site, offering easier access with a wider entrance at a secondary gate. CityFolk once again included Marvest — a free music festival with more than 50 Ottawa-area artists performing in businesses along Bank Street on Sept. 15 and 16. The spotlight was on more than 50 incredible Ottawa-area artists.

How to manage kids’ allowance

here’s no magic bullet when it comes to doling out cash to kids. It’s a subject that comes up time and again among parents. As ages and stages change, the system of allowance that seemed to work for a while comes up empty. As kids get older, they typically need more money for things, but with that cash comes responsibility. “I don’t think you have to start giving allowance at three years old,” says Judith Cane, a money coach and financial planner in Ottawa. “When it comes time for them to start paying for things of their own, then they need an allowance.” Cane notes that, even before children are old enough to handle money on their own, they should be given the opportunity to learn some key lessons around how finances work. Something as simple as taking young children to the grocery store and teaching them how to follow a list and compare prices is a great exercise. Giving kids a limit when buying back-to-school clothes can make a learning game out of money management. Once kids get a little older and they’re starting to want spending money for collector cards, trips to the cinema or candy — from about age seven, depending on the child

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse — that’s when a set weekly allowance can be introduced. Cane disregards the long-held tradition of tying allowances to kids’ chores, however. It undermines that message that, as a member of the family, kids should be helping out around the house. “Kids should be making their beds, emptying the dishwasher or cleaning up after the pet,” says Cane. “This shouldn’t be tied to earning allowance.” Basic allowance, says Cane, should be used as a money management tool. There’s no hard and fast rule on how much to give, but half the child’s age weekly is a decent rule of thumb. My 12-year-old receives six dollars weekly. On the other hand, extra allowance can be effectively used as

an incentive for kid chores that go above and beyond, says Cane; things like mowing the lawn, cleaning out the garage, or painting the bathroom. Once the money is given, parents necessarily have to dictate how it’s used. “There’s been a lot of talk about dividing money into categories like savings, spending and giving,” notes Cane. “But really the children should make their own decisions about how to use the money.” She adds that some kids may already “give” in other ways, such as through church or a civic organization, so dictating they donate money when they have so little to work with may be going overboard. When it comes to saving, Cane doesn’t believe in kids saving just for the sake of having money in the bank.

“If they’re saving money, there should be a goal attached to it,” says Cane. This offers a better opportunity

‘Extra allowance can be effectively used as an incentive for kid chores that go above and beyond’ to teach about the instant gratification of spending now versus saving toward something more long term. When it comes to things like school lunches, birthday parties and other social activities outside of a child’s weekly budget, it’s up to the parents to determine who pays. My son recently announced he wants to buy lunch at the school cafeteria weekly. I told him it would come out of his own pocket. Cane suggests a more moderate approach for those who may want to deal with it differently. “Perhaps sit down and work out

Get elder care right

he city is taking a long, hard look at its operation of long-term care homes. But the province and the federal government need to carry out a similar review if things are going to get better, not worse. The city’s review was prompted by a series of incidents, including a long-term care resident being punched. There’s no doubt the municipal government wants to ensure that doesn’t happen again. The will is there to fix problems. Part of the response has been the formation of an advisory group – one that includes the families of residents. Families are rightfully concerned, just witness the 40 pages of comments that were collected at one feedback session at Carleton Lodge in south Nepean. The union which represents nurses in the city’s homes says staff are overworked. That’s supported by the statistics – Ontario has the lowest number of staff hours per resident. Then consider that Ottawa’s homes have even

fewer hours per resident than the Ontario average. What’s clearly lacking is funding, and not just here, but across the country. The city, province and federal government know demand is increasing and will only grow in the coming decades. Canada needs to ramp up now. Failing to act when a problem is entirely predictable is the definition of negligence. Our governments need a strategy to hire the best people we can, train them well and pay them well. They will part of our future. We need more spaces in publicly funded seniors care, and more staff to provide the care. It is far less expensive, and far more suitable for the elderly, to care for them in long-term care facilities than in our hospitals. And beyond the dollars and cents issue, there’s a moral question only government action can answer. Taking good care of those most in need is the right thing to do.

Tighten the rules but don’t close the door on sales

ou don’t hear it so often any more, but when it comes, the sound is comforting – a gentle bell tolling on your street. That would be the sharpener’s truck and you can hear it far enough away so that you have time to collect the knives, scissors, and even your push lawn mower, if you still have one, and get out to the street. This is door-to-door selling at its best. Door-to-door selling at its worst is being addressed by the provincial legislature. This comes after thousands of complaints about homeowners being duped into signing lucrative contracts involving heating, air conditioning, water softening and the like. The sums of money involved have often been substantial. In days past it was often assumed that such fraud was mainly perpe-

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town trated upon the confused and the elderly. But that’s no longer the case. Many young and unconfused people have been fooled. The door-to-door salespeople are well-dressed, personable and persuasive. They wear official-looking name tags and carry official-looking credentials. And you don’t have to be old and/or confused to be ill-informed about the specifics of your heating or cooling plan. In today’s fragmented energy market, it’s hard for people to remember which company they’re dealing with and on what terms.

I bet you’ve at least come close to signing one of those things. If you’re lucky you might have stalled long enough to Google the operation and find out if it’s on the up-and-up. Someone on the radio was talking about this the other day – about how much of even the legitimate economy is based on deception, how too much of what we pay to companies is based on charges we were not aware of. The banking industry’s hidden charges are a classic example. Then there are the airlines. The advertised cost of a ticket rarely resembles what we wind up paying after all of the extra charges are added in – especially if we want to check baggage or sit in a decent seat. Consider also the various surprises that await us when we use our phones and our internet. Roaming charges – sure, all of that stuff is in the fine print, but nobody reads it, nor should they

be expected to. The sharpener comes down your street, he tells you how much per knife, how much to do the scissors, and that’s it. It’s not clear yet how far Ontario will go. But it appears that the legislation will permit door-to-door contact only if the homeowner initiates the contact. That’s a big step ahead, assuming that the legislators do not tack on a lengthy list of exceptions. As you will remember, that happened when the do-not-call registry was set up.

Interim supervised injection site receives stamp of approval BY KIERAN DELAMONT Metro Ottawa

Ottawa’s Board of Health voted Tuesday to approve plans to open an interim supervised injection site in Lowertown. The board had announced a week prior it was exploring an amendment to the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre’s federal exemption that would allow OPH to open a satellite site at its building on Clarence Street in the meantime. “From an addiction standpoint, we need to come together,” said Rideau-Vanier Coun.

Mathieu Fleury. “As a community, if we can address it and support it by coming together ... it’s better for the community, because it means the use gets out of our parks, it gets out of the alcoves.” The volunteer organization Overdose Prevention Ottawa started an illegal safe injection site in Lowertown in late August much to the ire of residents who live near Raphael Brunet Park. Fleury said he hopes OPH’s interim site will officially close down the pop-up site. Last year, the board signaled its support, generally, for super-

vised injections sites by a 9-2 vote. On Tuesday, health officials heard a presentation from staff noting this summer has been a particularly challenging one for overdoses. Ottawa’s emergency rooms are seeing an average of 120 overdose cases per month. The report also revealed the crisis began to be felt more acutely starting in May, when the city experienced an uptick in overdoses. The summer months, compared to the first few months of the year, saw a 22 per cent increase in overdoses. Dr. Isra Levy, Ottawa’s medical officer of health, also

acknowledged supervised injection sites were not a remedy, but rather a single tool in a larger fight against the overdose crisis. “It always hurts me when the focus of attention is solely on this spectrum of services,” he said, as part of his verbal report. The board heard, in no uncertain terms, from frontline workers. “We’re really at war,” said Wendy Muckle from Ottawa Inner City Health, which co-ordinates healthcare for the homeless. “There’s a lot of battles to be won, and we can only win those battles if what we’re fighting is the opioids and the substance abuse, and not each other.” Marilou Gagnon and Bob Jamison from Overdose Prevention Ottawa presented to staff, hoping to provide information gleaned from 25 days of opera-

Library’s porn policy not enough, councillor says BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

While patrons of the Ottawa Public Library who view explicit content on branch computers will now be asked to stop if complaints are made, the policy

update could go further to prohibit the viewing of sexually explicit material. “Patrons of all ages use the public library and sexually explicit material is not something that should be viewed in a public place, and that should

just be a matter of policy,” said Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, though she acknowledged the policy change is “better” and “a step in the right direction.” Her ward office is based at the Greenboro Community

Centre where the Greenboro library branch is located. That’s where two girls saw a man viewing graphic pornography on a public computer in a high-traffic area earlier this summer. The girls’ mother said she was told staff don’t restrict patrons from accessing legal internet content. Following the incident, Danielle McDonald, chief executive of the Ottawa Public Library, sent an email to city councillors explaining “it is a fundamental tenet of a public library to uphold access to information without censorship.” The refreshed policy, made official Sept. 19, is now in line with what libraries in many other Canadian cities, such as Vancouver, Hamilton, Calgary and Gatineau, have adopted, said Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney, chair of the Ottawa Public Library board. “Staff now have that tool in their tool box to walk over, based on a complaint, and say, ‘Turn it off,’” he said, adding this applies to all blatantly offensive material and not just pornography. In an emailed statement sent to Metroland Media, the Ot-

tawa Public Library said, “Our policy has always been to respect the sensibilities of others. The main refinement is that we will amend our policy to request that customers refrain from displaying content (text or images) that may be reasonably considered offensive in a public setting. “This could be content that is graphically violent, overtly sexual, or that contains threatening language, to provide a few examples,” the statement reads. “And, if this occurs, our practice will be to ask people to turn it off or shut it down.” The policy was updated following discussions Tierney had with library staff, his fellow councillors, library board members and residents, and following questions he posed to councillors in other jurisdictions. “The consensus was pretty straightforward,” he said. The solution is not as simple as putting up a firewall on the library’s computer networks to block unauthorized access. “I have an IT background. You can get around any firewall with pornography. There’s only so much you can do,” Tierney said.

Tierney did not respond to a subsequent request to speak about why an outright ban on the viewing of explicit online material was not enacted. A 2015 third-party review of the library’s practices found it uses more filters than most public libraries in Canada, McDonald said in her email to councillors. Filters are in place for illegal materials, such as child pornography. “Since implementation of our tools and policies in 2015, the OPL has seen a significant reduction in the number of reported incidents of customers viewing what may be considered inappropriate content,” McDonald wrote. “Specifically, we have gone from 15 incidents (in 2015) to three (so far) in 2017. Deans said she too supports intellectual freedom and is not suggesting that filters be put in place to restrict access to information. However, a stronger policy “would send a clear message to library patrons that their public library is not only a place that protects and supports intellectual freedom, but it is also a place that values the safety and security of its clients at all ages Deans said.

Tulip festival named one of Canada's top spots to stop Business site lists 100 festivals, events to check out STAFF

Some of Ottawa’s most popular annual festivals and fundraisers have been recognized as top 100 events to go to in Canada. The online site BizBash, a resource for event and meeting professionals, generated the list, which named the Canadian Tulip Festival, Winterlude and the National Arts Centre Gala as top picks. According to the organization, these influential events continually challenge the norm, push limits to evolve, and engage their audiences in an effective and meaningful way. Known as Ottawa’s flag-

ship festival since 1953, the Canadian Tulip Festival is one of the largest events of its kind in the world celebrating the capital’s official flower as a symbol of international friendship and peace. The Canadian Tulip Festival is an event of the Canadian Tulip Legacy, a nonprofit charitable organization established to celebrate the historic Royal gift of tulips from the Dutch to Canadians after the Second World War. “People today value experiences over things, and the Top 100 Events are events anyone would want to go to,” said Beth Kormanik, BizBash’s editor in chief. “They represent the best of live events and provide attendees and sponsors ideal environments to gather to exchange ideas, network, and have fun.”

Izzy (ID# A058829)

BizBash added the list is aimed at shining a light on industry leaders as well as start a discussion on the events. The list is subjective, BizBash adds, stating they looked at several factors including economic impact, buzz, innovation and the event’s prominence within the communities it intends to serve. The festival’s executive director Michel Gauthier said the organization was honoured to be chosen as one of the top 100 events in Canada. “It’s wonderful to be in such great local company as the National Arts Centre Gala, the Juno Awards and Winterlude,” Gauthier said. The entire list of Top 100 Events in Canada can be found at bizbash.com/top100.

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), publishers of Animal Sheltering magazine, just printed a feature article on the issue of backyard chickens. The demand for a bylaw to allow raising chickens in the urban parts of the city hasn’t come up in Ottawa lately. The OHS last corresponded with council on the issue in 2010, but the topic is too trendy not to rise again. Back in 2010, the OHS provided a list of arguments and concerns, vehemently opposing urban chickens. The list was long and far-reaching, and included concerns about the care and welfare of the chickens, and the need to a plan to care for the chickens when no longer wanted or at-large. Other concerns ranged from noise to disease transmission.

Pet of the Week: Izzy (ID# A058829) Meet Izzy (ID# A058829), a sweet girl looking for her purr-fect match. Izzy is looking for a quiet new home where she can spend lots of time relaxing in sunbeams or gazing out the window. She’ll always let you know when she’s ready for some cuddles. Izzy would prefer an adult home. Are you the one she has been waiting for? For more information on Izzy and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Troubles in the Hen House Urban chickens are a DIY take on the farm-to-table movement. But the well-intentioned and trendy hobby has a dark side, from disease transmission to animal cruelty.

While the HSUS article acknowledges that, in some cases, chickens might be better cared for in a backyard than a factory farm, it adds a number of facts and anecdotal information that underscores that in most cases, urban chickens are a bad idea that is becoming more common. Untrained hobbyists read up on raising the birds online where misinformation is rampant, treating ailments with ineffective home remedies and leaving the animals to suffer. Chickens, descended from tropical ancestors and not designed for snowy winters, are left to freeze outside in harsh northern climates. The hatchlings are most often purchased online from hatcheries that sell to factory farms — the same industry the self-styled urban poultry producers are taking pains to avoid. Then, when the hobby grows tiresome, the chickens are abandoned. The article points to some hard facts that were not available when the OHS was presenting our concerns to city council. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the U.S. says it “‘…saw the largest number of illnesses linked to contact with backyard poultry ever recorded’ — eight separate outbreaks of human salmonella infections affecting 895 people from 48 states.” It is important that we all understand the implications of backyard chickens for the chickens and for our community before adopting this particular trend.

I NEED TO MAKE THE TIME

I am too busy. I do not have the time for this. I work, I exercise and I spend time with my family and friends. I do not want to talk about this. My husband and I still have so much time ahead of us. However, thinking about what our neighbours went through, having to figure it all out, without knowing what her father wanted. Her mother was not up to it and her siblings were all over Canada. I could not imagine the stress of it all. I tried to help, brought over food, sent flowers and spent some time with her. I felt helpless, that I could not do more. She must have felt so alone. I do not want to put my kids through that. I know I do not have a lot of spare time but I need to do this. I need to make the time; make sure that everything is prepared and ready for my kids.

Mayor’s Report

HAVE YOUR SAY IN THE CITY’S 2018 BUDGET By: Mayor Jim Watson

Last year, we worked with our City departments and staff and listened to residents through the budget consultation process in order to deliver a budget that keeps the City on a path of fiscal prudence while continuing to build a caring, sustainable, and prosperous city. We were able to accomplish this while keeping our 2% tax cap commitment, thus ensuring that Ottawa remains an affordable city for all. To shed light on the budget process and how these decisions impact your individual property taxes, the City of Ottawa has developed innovative tools available in the Understanding Your City Budget section of www.Ottawa.ca. The tools include: How the City Budget Works: A short video that uses plain language and easy-to- understand graphics that outline the basics of how the City budget works. Get Involved in the Budget Process - The City of Ottawa’s Budget Process Made Simple: A printable info-graphic that describes the budget and consultation process and highlights when and how residents can have their say. City of Ottawa’s 2018 Budget Consultation Tool: An interactive online tool that provides you with the opportunity to play the role of politician or administrator and determine what areas of City services and programs require increases, decreases or status quo funding, and gives you the opportunity to provide comments. To show the impact of your decisions, the tool will also show how your changes will affect the budget rate and your individual property taxes. The tool will remain live until the budget is tabled on November 8, 2017. These budget tools will help you better understand how your tax dollars are spent. Pre-budget consultations are also an opportunity to express your views on how property tax dollars will be used and to take part in the decisions City staff and Council are faced with when developing and approving the annual budget.

City making huge efforts to improve long-term care BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

It’s a tough job dealing with some of our most vulnerable residents, but the city says it is doing what it can to improve care at the four municipally-run longterm care homes. The oldest resident in the city’s homes is 109 years old, the youngest 43. Staff highlighted the differences, as well as the complex medical needs, in a report to the community and protective services committee on Sept. 21. The committee heard the report as part of the response to a "direction" from the province following a string of events, which included covered up injuries and abuse at the Garry J. Armstrong home on Island

Lodge Road. The incidents resulted in a director referral order from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The order made a series of suggestions — including the supervision of non-regulated staff, such as support workers. Among the complaints was a staff member punching a resident in the face. There are 712 residents at the city’s four long-term care homes. Garry J. Armstrong is the subject of four complaints under the Long-Term Health Care Act subsection that deals with abuse and neglect. There are 1,023 staff members for those homes. Residents could come in contact with as many as 15 staff daily and 468 of those staff members are personal

support workers. City manager Steve Kanellakos said that staff, along with council, had a visceral response to the incident. “Many of us have parents in long-term care facilities,” he said. “That said, staff is accountable for the service and care in our homes.” Among the fixes proposed by staff are an advisory group, made up of families of residents, staff, stakeholders and management. There was a feedback session held at the Carleton Lodge in Nepean on Sept. 20, with more than 100 attendees and 40 pages of comments. Janice Burelle, general manager of community and social services, said staff is going over the comments and stakeholder engagement will continue into October. Dean Lett, head of longterm care for the city, said all mandatory training on abuse will be done by Dec. 1 for current employees. Jamie Dunn, executive director for the Civic Institute Professional Personnel, the union that represents nurses who work in the homes, said members are overworked and underpaid, but attention to the issue over the summer has led to them being scapegoated. Lett said he wanted to recognize that the city homes are lively, loving places, with activities that recognize different levels of cognition. The issue of long-term care is complicated by the needs of the patients. Seniors are going into care later in life, often with sev-

eral diagnoses and many suffer from dementia. Included in the report was information about satisfaction surveys completed by residents and their families. Last year, 95 per cent of respondents said they were satisfied with their home. Adele Furrie, a member of the advisory board, commended the dedication of the members through a difficult period. Furrie said management should take responsibility for what happened in their home, but so should the ministry. Furrie said the ministry should also look at the funding for personal support workers and whether they get paid adequately for their services. The city provided $14.3 million toward longterm care last year, Burelle said. Beverlee McIntosh, from the Ottawa Council on Women, said hours of care provided to seniors in Ontario is among the nation’s lowest. The provincial average is 3.15 hours a day per resident. In Ottawa, that number is 2.56. Committee chair Diane Deans asked if the hours of care provided by the city is enough; Burelle said staff is looking at the service delivery model to see if staffing levels could be brought up during peak times. While Deans said staff have shown a “monumental effort” to deal with the problems, she thinks there needs to be a national strategy on long-term care. “What keeps me awake at night is the future, as baby boomers get older.”

In addition to the online budget tools, residents may also offer budget input by sending an email directly to budget@ottawa.ca, by contacting your City Councillor or by tweeting @ottawacity using the hashtag #ottbudget. Finally, I encourage residents to attend various Councillor-led 2018 Pre-budget public consultations that are taking place across our city in the month of October. For a schedule of public consultations or to access the online consultation tools, visit www.ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/ budget-and-taxes/budget/budget-2018, and have your say in Budget 2018.

More than 1,700 eggs, 1,200 sausages and 1,400 glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice added up to a successful fundraiser. Two Centretown businessmen, Daljit Nirman of Nirman’s Law Professional Corporation, and Vinod Chaudhary, owner of Eggspectation Restaurant, joined forces for a community fundraiser on Sept. 12 to host Cooking up Community Services, a fundraiser for the Montfort Hospital Foundation at the Eggspectation Restaurant, 171 Bank St. In five hours the result was more than $16,000 raised for the foundation. “We couldn't be happier with how it ended up,” said Nirman. “As they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so we were happy to help serve a hot meal to the Ottawa community from all walks of life and also raise money for a great cause.” This is not the first time the two have partnered to help out an organization in need. Over the past five years, they have hosted smaller fundraising events, including an annual free water giveaway on Canada Day. It was following the success of this event the men believed they could host a bigger one. Picking the Montfort Hospital Foundation, Nirman said, was a natural choice. “South Asians are genetically predisposed to have cardiac issues,” Nirman said, adding that ensuring a hospital has the most up-to-date technology is important in making sure lives are saved. Christine Sigouin, chief executive officer at the Montfort Hospital Foundation, was grateful for Nirman’s and Chaudhary’s efforts. “It is heartwarming to see that different communities can, and do, come together for a common worthy cause,” Sigouin said. Nirman added this fundraiser will not be the last. Although not sure of the format of the future event, Nirman said the goal definitely would be to serve more guests and to raise more funds. “Because this was a free breakfast, we never wanted to stress that donations were mandatory or expected,” Nirman said. “But the fact that we nevertheless, raised several thousands of dollars makes us very happy. It was a real winwin for everyone. We feel proud of living in Ottawa and giving back to the communities.”

Every summer the Ottawa Senators Foundation sends more than 1,200 deserving kids to summer camp. A place where kids have an opportunity to make new friends, to learn about teamwork, leadership and fair play. A place where kids learn about themselves and build self-confidence. The Ottawa Senators Foundation believes that all kids deserve an opportunity to experience the many benefits of camp.

“None of that follows them,” says Warden. “They’re able to be their own person and understand that they’re welcome no matter what.”

Meet Rosie Warden.

Warden says new kids often arrive at Camp Smitty uncertain about what’s in store. Young ones arriving for the first time can be shy, tentative. Older kids in the throes of adolescence can act like they’re too cool to go to camp.

Here’s an example from Camp Smitty, the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa camp in Eaganville, Ont.

The greatest thing about summer camp is its ability to unburden campers of their baggage and allow them to see the potential in themselves and the possibilities life can offer. For three epic sessions of 10 nights each summer, kids from underprivileged families, broken homes and troubled circumstances leave their woes behind and venture into the unknown surrounded by other kids from similar circumstances.

It’s a diverse group, but you wouldn’t know it by about day two.

“Everyone is from the same place when you come to camp,” says Rosie Warden, manager of Outdoor Education and Youth Leadership for the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa. They might be struggling in school or have behavioural issues or family problems. At Camp Smitty, kids come and be comfortable with who they are.

The camp benefits from the support of the Ottawa Senators Foundation, which provides funding for the one in five Ottawa-area children who don’t have access to after-school sports, recreation or social activities.

Since 2015, the foundation, has enabled more than 4,000 kids, ages four to 17, from 50 communities across the region to go to camps like Smitty.

“By the last day they can’t wait to come back next year.”

“A lot of what the kids do is actually stuff they never get to do in the city,” says Warden, citing activities like swimming off a beach, sleeping in a cabin, tenting and hiking. “The kids can just come and be comfortable with who they are.” By supporting Camp Smitty and others like it, the Ottawa Senators Foundation gives kids unlimited opportunities to grow. Camp counsellors see it all the time, she says, as kids’ attitudes and goals evolve, and they aim ever higher.

ChaudiĂ¨re Falls lights the night starting in October BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

Ottawa 2017 is hoping its next signature event will â&#x20AC;&#x153;dazzle with light.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the direct translation of the Anishinaabe word that is part of the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title, MĂŹwĂ te: Illumination of the ChaudiĂ¨re Falls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be light years away from Niagara Falls,â&#x20AC;? said Ottawa 2017 executive director Guy Laflamme while on site on Sept. 12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to create passive traditional lighting, we want this to be as edgy and surprising as Kontinuum. We want to stimulate your imagination and inspire you by doing a contrast between the natural organic beauty and the edgy technological effects we will create with all that lighting equipment.â&#x20AC;? Speaking of Kontinuum â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the multimedia sound and light show inside the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lyon light rail station â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about two-thirds of the equipment from that event will be used to animate the falls, with even more to be added.

MĂŹwĂ te: Illumination of the ChaudiĂ¨re Falls, begins in early October. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an Ottawa 2017 signature event that executive director Guy Laflamme said is light years away from the lighting at Niagara Falls. Canadian production company Moment Factory. The event has been more than two years in the making and it has been done with a lot of input from Indigenous communities, Laflamme said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One priority is for this to be a signature event and a tribute to Indigenous people,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding interpretive panels have

been written by and vetted by Indigenous elders. The lighting effects, theme and style have also been a collaborative effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a sacred site for First Nations so we want to respect and honour that. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why all the communication and the artistic approach will be about celebrating and respecting the natural beauty of the site, the solemn nature of the site and celebrating the culture of Indigenous peoples,â&#x20AC;? he said. He added the project is also a step towards reconciliation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the perspective of people of PikwĂ kanagan and the Indigenous group we have been working with, the focus is not on celebrating Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150th, but using this opportunity to further the dialogue between residents, visitors and representatives from the First Nations community,â&#x20AC;? Laflamme said. The event will bring visitors down Booth Street, just before the ChaudiĂ¨re Bridge, up a pathway before winding around to what Laflamme calls the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweet spotâ&#x20AC;? at the edge of the falls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that Ottawa is here, it all started right here at the

Redblacks rookies learning on the job BY JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com

May 7, 2017 was a special day for many young, amateur Canadian football players. They'd find out that day if their dream of becoming professional football players would be a reality. The Ottawa Redblacks made it a reality for eight Canadian players. But that wasn’t just the culmination of a dream. It was the start of a lot of hard work and uncertainty. In eight rounds the Redblacks drafted, in order, offensive lineman Evan Johnson, running back Anthony Gosselin, defensive lineman Eli Ankou, running

back Louis-Philippe Bourassa, defensive lineman Mathieu Dupuis, receiver Austen Hartley, running back Ed Ilnicki and Jordan Filippelli. Of those eight selected players, only four remain on the roster heading into Friday’s game against Winnipeg – Johnson, Hartley, Gosselin and Bourassa. Third-round pick Ankou, who played college football at UCLA, was signed by an NFL team and has played in the first two games of the season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Redblacks knew this was a possibility but drafted him anyway. The other three draft picks were released by the team during the pre-season process.

Following an early September practice, coach Rick Campbell said his remaining Canadian rookies are acclimatizing well. “They’ve integrated themselves well,” he told Metroland Media. “They keep getting more experience every week, which is good. It was a good draft class for us. They’re going to be guys that can play in this league for a while.” The Redblacks first-round pick, ninth overall, Johnson, is a 6-foot-3 University of Saskatchewan product. “He’s getting better and better,” Campbell said. “If that guy stays healthy, I think he’s going

to be a player in this league for a long, long time.” Johnson has been working hard, on and off the field, for the Redblacks. “I’ve been having a great time out here so far. It’s been a good season so far and I feel like I am adapting to the CFL game pretty good here so far. I’m getting in a few games, a few plays here and there, getting some good game action and just trying to keep learning each day.” One of the biggest challenges Johnson has faced since going professional, has been a small move. See PLAYERS, page 21

New players all very promising: Campbell Continued from page 20

The Redblacks have asked the college tackle to move inside. “I was playing tackle in college and have been bumped inside playing guard and centre here and it’s a little bit of a different game on the inside,” Johnson said. “But I think I have adapted well to it. “The other thing is the speed and the strength of the players. Everyone is bigger, faster, stronger and it’s a bit of a learning curve trying to adapt. I’ve been having a great time out here so far.” Johnson’s flexibility has paid off. At the beginning of the season, Johnson’s only playing time was spot duty when he would sub in to provide a starter a breather. But Johnson earned his first start of the season on Sept. 17 playing left guard against the Montreal Alouettes. Johnson and the rest of the offensive line helped running back William Powell run for a seasonhigh 144 yards, and a 29-11 win. Campbell was pleased with Johnson’s effort. “He did very well and I am not surprised,” Campbell said. Johnson thought he did OK too. “I was excited to get the opportunity to play a full game, that’s for sure,” Johnson said following practice on Wednesday, Sept. 20. “I feel like I made the most of my opportunity and had a pretty good game in Montreal.” Thanks to several injuries along the offensive line, Johnson is already slated to start in Winnipeg for the second consecutive game. “Looking forward to starting this week as well, and hopefully we can go in to Winnipeg and get another win out there as well,” he said. Second-round pick Gosselin, is trying to get back on the field following an early-season injury. The University of Sherbrooke product ran the fastest 40-yard time for any running back at the CFL combine, clocking 4.73 seconds. He was considered the consensus top fullback available in the 2017 CFL draft, known as a strong blocker who can catch the ball out of the backfield. Gosselin was invited to the

NFL Kansas City Chiefs minicamp in May, but was released and returned, and signed with the Redblacks. The first couple of weeks he was on the 44-man active roster before running in to a setback. Gosselin suffered a concussion and spent the next six weeks working through the league’s concussion protocols. “It was my first concussion so I did not know all the protocols involved in getting back on the field, or even what one felt like,” he said. He’s now been cleared to return to football, but finds himself on the 46-man roster now, meaning he’s part of the reserve roster come game time. Gosselin says he’s been using his time on the sideline to learn. “I’m learning a lot from Pat Lavoie, who I am backing up,” he said. “I watch him a lot, when it’s walk through or we’re getting some reps, I’m 15 yards right back behind him. It’s good for me as I learn the playbook and how to run the plays.” Gosselin is making the most of whatever football opportunities come his way. “I’m enjoying it a lot,” he said. “It’s what I want to be ... What I want when I get dressed in the

morning, is to be here.” University of Calgary product Hartley has spent time this season bouncing between the active roster, the 46-man roster and the practice roster. He’s earned playing time on the special teams unit and is doing whatever he is asked to do, even if it doesn’t involve catching a football. “He’s playing well on special teams,” Campbell said. “He’s another guy who is very promising. He’s developing as a receiver and has been contributing for us on special teams this year.” Fourth-round pick, running

back Bourassa, has worked hard to transition to the long snapper position. For rookies, contributing to the Redblacks isn’t just about what happens on the field. Many Redblacks players are often found out in the community teaching kids about football, or helping out -- as players

did during the Ottawa River flood last spring. “That’s a big part for us,” Campbell said. “We think it’s really important to get in to the community and do stuff off the field. We really like to integrate those young guys in to that and they’ve been fantastic. They give back, which is great.” While a professional football career is more often than not a

brief one, these Redblack rookies are doing everything they can to impress the coach and extend their stay in Ottawa. “Really enjoying it,” Johnson said. “This is a really nice city. Lots of green space out here. Good fan support and I have a great time playing out here.”

The feeling of accomplishment

other said I was old enough. There were many little chores I was already doing, like keeping the wood box full, and making sure the pan under the icebox didn’t overflow. And now Mother said I was old enough to make butter! I was both delighted and annoyed. Delighted because this was a very important job, and annoyed because we always churned on Saturday morning, and this new chore was certainly going to cut into my playtime. My sister Audrey, who up to then, was in charge of the churning, was more than happy to give it up. I certainly didn’t have to be taught how to do it. Goodness knows I watched Audrey every Saturday, and to me, all I had to do was sit on a chair, with the churn between my knees, and plop the plunger up and down in the cream until I made butter. It was an early Fall day when Mother announced that was the Saturday when I would take on this new chore. The churn had been rolled into the kitchen, very carefully, because it was half full of cream, and a chair

MARY COOK Memories put in front of it. I was ready to begin. But Mother said I would have to put on a big pinny, and it didn’t take me long to find out why. I had watched Audrey often enough to know that you simply grabbed the plunger with both hands and pumped until you could feel butter forming in the bottom of the churn. So I pulled up a chair, wrapped my bony knees around the churn, and began. Plop, plop, plop. I speeded up the pace, figuring the faster I went, the sooner I would be finished. The lid on the churn had a hole in the center big enough to give the plunger lots of room. It didn’t take me long to find out why I had to don the big flour-bag pinny. The cream splashed up through the hole, and since I was so much shorter than Audrey, much of it hit me square in the eyes, and the front of the pinny was soon

covered too. Audrey said going faster did nothing to hasten the butter. She was right...my arms ached, and I could tell nothing was happening in the churn. Also, my bottom started to develop pins and needles, so I had to stop the process to fetch a cushion from the couch to sit on. It looked to me like this was going to turn into an all-morning job. The wall clock ticked away, and I could feel my eyelids start to droop, and it felt like any minute I was going to keel over in a heap on the kitchen floor. And then it happened. The plunger was no longer splashing cream out the opening in the lid. It got heavier and heavier to pound, even Mother and Audrey who were doing other things in the kitchen, knew that the moment had come. They could tell by the sound! My arms felt like lead. Mother came over and lifted the lid, peered inside, and said, “Well, good for you, Mary. You have made your first batch of butter.” The rest of the job would be up to my sister and Mother. With a big flat wood scoop, the

me doing something that didn’t wear me down to a dishrag. Mother could see the state I was in, but instead of giving me sympathy she said, “each Saturday it will get easier. You’ll see.” I didn’t believe her for a minute. And I wondered how long it would take for that feeling of accomplishment for a job well done that Mother always talked about, would hit me.

Merivale Road (North) Community Design Plan Information Session #2

Thursday, October 5, 2017 6:30 to 9 p.m. (drop-in anytime) Alexander Community Centre 960 Silver Street

You are invited to find out more about the Merivale Road (North) Community Design Plan (CDP) study. The outcomes of the CDP will affect how the northern end of Merivale Road will look and function in the future. The CDP study area affects land adjacent to Merivale Road between Caldwell Avenue and Carling Avenue. The study generally includes creating guidelines for land use and urban design, review and possible changes to the current zoning of land on select properties (see notice below), consideration of a range of new economic development incentives and creation of a “complete street” design to improve walking, cycling and streetscape in the future.

LAND SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The Zoning By-Law Amendment proposal generally affects properties adjacent to Merivale Road between Caldwell Avenue and Carling Avenue including select properties on Merivale Road, Kirkwood Avenue, Chatelain Avenue, Shillington Avenue, Thames Street, Laperriere Avenue, Leaside Avenue and Anna Avenue. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS The purpose of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendments (ZBLA) is to implement the land use and urban design components of the proposed new Merivale Road (North) Community Design Plan (CDP). The CDP is being brought forward for approval by Planning Committee and Council at the same time as the proposed ZBLA. The main effects of the proposed ZBLA are to rezone select properties from existing residential and institutional zones to the Traditional Mainstreet (TM) zone, generally with exceptions that continue to permit uses from the existing zones but that in certain locations permit new non-residential uses under the TM zone only if properties are assembled and any new development fronts on Merivale Road, and to correct anomalies where the boundaries between different zones do not follow adjacent property lines.

Fall ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT

Yard maintenance: a short guide to those fall chores Summer vacation is a thing of the past and a few tidy-up jobs are waiting for you in the yard. That’s right; your yard is in great need of some TLC at this time of year. TAKE A WALK IN THE VEGETABLE GARDEN

After you’ve harvested your delicious homegrown vegetables, all the weeds and pests have to be removed from your vegetable plot. This is also the time to take stock and plan for next year. Evaluate the performance of

your garden and take note of any problems you experienced during the growing season (insects, diseases, plants too close together, etc.). This will help you correct things next time around. If you didn’t take note of the location of your various vegetables when you sowed them, you should do so now. That way, you can rotate your crop next summer. And if you want to enjoy garlic next year, now’s the time to plant your bulbs. ...AND AROUND THE FLOWER BEDS

Dig up weeds, as well as any annuals that have been damaged by the first frosts. Trim the stems of plants susceptible to disease and the foliage of perennials. Fall is also the ideal time to test your soil and amend it where necessary. Divide your perennials and plant spring bulbs. Non-hardy bulbs should be dug up after the first frost. Leave them to dry and then remove the excess soil before storing them in a cool, dry, dark place for replanting next year. TAKE CARE OF THE LAWN

This is definitely not the time to sit back and relax as Spoiling your lawn all sumfar as your flowerbeds are con- mer is not enough for it to stay cerned. In fact, a good clea- beautiful and healthy. ning up is required. Fall is the time to reseed

bare spots, aerate the soil, add compost and spread a potassium-rich natural fertilizer. You should also remove any dead leaves, as a thick carpet of leaf debris deprives the grass of light and may cause it to die off. Shred the leaves and compost them, or let them decompose on the ground. In October, you should also mow the lawn for the last time, being sure to leave it at a height of five centimeters so it will be protected from temperature changes. CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THE DECK

Cool fall days are perfect for doing maintenance work on your deck. Remove any weeds and debris stuck between the planks and steps of the deck

and then repair or replace damaged planks and wobbly posts. You should also sand any rough spots that may cause splinters and fill cracks with wood putty. A thorough cleaning is also a good idea. Use a pressure washer (on the lowest setting to avoid damaging the surface) and a cleaning product that’s suitable for your type

of wood. Then treat or stain your deck so it stays beautiful for as long as possible. Raking up fallen leaves; cutting back perennials; mowing the lawn for the last time and maintaining the deck: there is a lot to do in the yard once fall arrives. Are you ready for this final blitz before winter arrives?

Access to water, new clubhouse planned Continued from page 1

The plans Bridgland and architect Barry Padolsky unveiled include short-term and longterm changes. “This is a facility that has been here since 1912 but has always been inward and exclusive. And now it will be open,” Padolsky said. The goal is to have access to the Rideau River, as well as to create better connections with the neighbouring Riverain Park. “There is a river that deserves more canoeing,” Padolsky said. “We are on a waterfront and there are not many places to launch a canoe and (there’s) no reason why we can’t have a place here.” The short-term renovations will be slight – Bridgland called it a refresh with the doors opening to the public on Nov. 1. The small changes will involve renovations to the clubhouse, two new additional domes with enhanced lighting, tennis court resurfacing and a new floor

space for multi-sport play. There will also be a restaurant, a wellness centre and a yoga studio added. Padolsky explained that longterm plans include a complete overhaul of the clubhouse. The sports programming that will be available will be tennis, court volleyball, basketball, floor hockey, dodgeball, beach volleyball, dek hockey, pickleball and soccer. There will be no membership fees – people will be able to payper-play. Bridgland said they are exploring the option for memberships down the line. The programs will be based on seasons but the facility will be open year-round. “It will be dramatically renovated,” Padolsky said. Aside from a brand new clubhouse and desired waterfront access, other plans incorporate extending the footprint of the clubhouse’s outside space and adding more recreational options for clients. The Adàwa crossing,

which opened in December 2015, connected Overbrook with Sandy Hill. The crossing sees thousands of crossings monthly, something Bridgland and Padolsky believe will only increase the number of clients who will use the facility and its expanded programming. The clubhouse is on National Capital Commission land and has been leased from the commission since it first opened. For the organization to move forward with its plans, Bridgland and Padolsky have had to submit its proposal to the NCC for approval. Bridgland said they presented plans to NCC senior management at the beginning of September, but the timeline for the NCC board of directors to approve the changes is unknown. Bridgland founded the Ottawa Sport and Social Club - something she affectionately calls recess for adults. This she said would be an extension of that fun for clients living downtown and east of the Rideau River. “It’s about people connecting through sport,” Bridgland said, adding this complex will be a tribute to her vision of creating a multi-sport centrepiece.

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, it may seem like you have long been preparing for a big event. Now is your chance to finally take action. Try to do something proactive this week. You are ready to move forward.

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!

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Your inspiration comes from a blend of methodical planning as well as clever inspiration, Leo. The results will be exceptional if you keep at it.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may head in one direction only to find that you might have been better off going elsewhere. Eventually you will get your bearings.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, reality is setting in this week, and you realize just how much you need to catch up on. There is no more room for procrastination. It is time to get busy.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, an attitude about a particular relationship is changing, and you may need to go with the flow. This may result in some self-doubt, but you can make it through.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Your friendly attitude can be just what others need in the week ahead, Libra. They simply cannot resist your charms, and you can help them to settle down.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Making decisions this week requires little effort on your part, Aquarius. That’s because all of your stress has melted away in the last few days and things are relatively easy.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, shifting circumstances at work may leave you a little confused. Reassess your situation and come up with a new plan. Work collectively toward the goal.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, recognition is coming your way. Embrace the attention and recognize that it is not unfounded. You earned the praise about to be heaped on you.
