Nepean resident Milo Cruikshank – seen here with Toy, the horse she leases and boards at the Nepean National Equestrian Park – was emotional at the prospect of having to leave her “family” at the park after the city indicated it wants to cease park operations.

City closing Nepean’s equestrian park peutic riding program, the park currently provides space to board 17 horses and also offers lessons – mainly for beginners – as well as recreational riding and facilities for horse shows.

Spokesman Cedric Pelletier said the NCC would like to continue the “existing use” of the park, which the city ran by leasing NCC land for $20,200 a year.

But he said the future offerings at the park will depend on what the businesses and groups that step forward suggest for the site.

“I can’t tell you we will keep all the components,” Pelletier said.

“At this time it’s too early to decide about this,” he said, adding the city hasn’t officially terminated its lease of the park.

That wouldn’t happen until after council votes on the closure on July 11.

The typical timeline for seeking a new group or business to run the park could run between three and six months, Pelletier said, but he wouldn’t confirm how long it

NCC wants to find another group to operate park Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The city is banking on the National Capital Commission to find another group to run the Nepean National Equestrian Park as it prepares to shut down its equestrian operations.

All programs and services at the park should cease by Aug. 26, the city’s finance committee recommended on July 3.

That decision was taken with the proviso that the city will put $50,000 towards finding alternate spots for disabled and special-needs riders currently enrolled in the therapeutic riding program at the equestrian park.

But the future of programs at the park is still up in the air.

Horse riding gives Joey, whose symptoms have autistic tendencies, something to socialize and talk about, his mother said.

That progress will stop if she can’t find a private program that will have him, Gagnon said.

“I have no riding as of this point,” Gagnon said after the finance committee’s decision.

That worried Elaine Gagnon, whose 18-year-old son, Joey, has participated in the therapeutic riding program for five years. She spent three years looking for a local program that would accept Joey, whose pervasive developmental disorder has left him “trapped in a tense and twisted body.”

“Therapeutic riding has given him an opportunity to stretch, therefore letting

EMC news - English as a second language students at St. Puis X High School have created artwork about their personal immigration stories for a show at Ben Franklin Place.

New to Nepean: Celebrating Nepean’s Newest Settlers is on display until July 25 at the Atrium Gallery at Ben Franklin Place.

Students were asked to create an art work that reflects their own personal stories about coming to Canada, and add a written component.

“They let me into their lives by sharing those stories with me,” said Andrea Raymond, who is the education manager at the Nepean Museum. “I was so inspired by their courage and their strength.”

Raymond collaborated with the class to put together the exhibit, which will come to the Nepean Museum after July 25.

While approximately 20 pieces of work will have small descriptions displayed at Ben Franklin, a full book of the accompanying stories will be at the Nepean museum.

One of the pieces is by Christopher Regpala, who immigrated to Canada from the Phillipines.

His picture shows a combination of Filipino and Canadian celebrations and holidays, and includes the iconic Stanley Cup. In his description, he said that events like Canada Day are both important and enjoyable, and help new citizens understand Canadian culture.

The exhibit opened on July 6 and will have the opening reception on July 12 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Cost the key factor in committee decision Continued from front

Milo Cruikshank, a Nepean resident for whom the park has been a “home away from home” for more than a decade, was even more uncertain about the future of her adopted “family.”

“We don’t want to have to leave here. We’re going to go off in 12 directions,” she said.

Cruikshank wished she and other park users had known about the impending closure earlier so they could have done more to prevent it.

“We could have gone out and helped get more shows,” she said, adding that other events such as weddings have also dropped off in the last few years.

FILLING THE GAP

The lone dissenting voice on the shutdown was Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who is a longtime supporter of the park for its role in providing recreational opportunities for girls, women and people with disabilities.

Wilkinson presented a motion aimed at continuing operations at the park into the fall (perhaps until the end of the

That’s despite council’s 2005 direction to find a way to break even on running the park.

Shutting down operations at the park will save the city $320,658 next year, minus the $50,000 the city will contribute to clients of the therapeutic riding program so they can find equivalent services.

That will also involve selling the city’s 33 horses that are used in for riding lessons – something that has weighed heavily on the minds of people in the equestrian community, said Jennifer Thomas, an equestrian park volunteer who spoke to the committee on July 3.

She said the city and the managers they hired to run the park could have tried harder to prevent it from failing.

“It was about personality… had really very little to do with the facility itself,” she said.

Better advertising, deeper ties with the equestrian community and proactively seeking new events to rent out the park would have made all the difference, Thomas said.

Summer Conservation Tips!

The hot hazy days of summer are here, and Hydro Ottawa is sharing tips to help you conserve electricity while keeping cool.

Consider installing a ceiling fan, and set it to force air down in the summer.

Comparing Countries by Christopher Regpala, who came to Canada from the Phillipines.

His work is one of several by new Nepean residents on display until July 25 at Ben Franklin Place on Centrepointe Drive.

‘Friendly’ Canadians have made their mark on new residents Continued from front

Several students integrated maps into their pictures, and included advice they’d give future immigrants.

“A lot of the advice was in regards to the weather,” Raymond said. “And many of them talked about the long plane ride, and how friendly everyone is here.”

The students come from countries including Philippines, Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

The Nepean Museum does an exhibit at the Atrium Gallery every year, and this year decid-

ed to partner with St. Puis and teacher Jennifer Goldsmith to create the gallery.

The works range from coloured pictures to photo collages and sculptures.

“It took a lot of courage for them to be part of the project,” Raymond said.

Students, parents, local officials and residents have all been invited to attend the official July 12 opening.

“It’s a really exciting celebration of the students and their experiences,” Raymond said.

“We all have a story, and a history. These students are willing to share the story.”

Use fans to supplement or replace air conditioning.

Install a programmable thermostat to manage the amount of electricity used to cool your home, especially when you are not there.

Hydro Ottawa’s peaksaver PLUS program offers customers with central air conditioning a free professionally-installed programmable thermostat and an in-home energy display to help customers track and manage their electricity use.

For details, visit www.peaksaverplus.net.

When cooling is needed, we recommend that thermostats be set between 25 and 26 degrees Celsius (77 and 79 degrees Fahrenheit).

On summer nights, open windows and curtains/blinds to allow cooler air in.

Keep blinds and curtains closed to keep out the midday sun.

Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean Independence Day Celebrated at City Hall It was a great morning on Wednesday, July 4th as Mayor Watson and I hosted a small ďŹ&#x201A;ag raising ceremony in honour of our neighbours to the south. Ambassador David Jacobson, along with his wife Julie and daughter Wynne joined the Mayor and I on Festival Plaza at City Hall to raise the American Flag in honour of their special day. We were fortunate to also have the Governor Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foot Guard Band present to play the national anthems for our event which was followed by a gift presentation to the Ambassador by the Mayor and I on behalf of the City of Ottawa. We presented the Ambassador with three replica photos framed together portraying the visit of the late John F. Kennedy to Ottawa in May 1961.

I would like to thank all our special guests who were available to join us for this ceremony, including members of the Barrhaven Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, my fellow Councillors, and ofďŹ cials of the American Embassy, the American Chamber of Commerce, Invest Ottawa, and the Ottawa International Airport Authority.

Diamond Jubilee Recipient This past week, local Ward 22 resident Jason Kelly was presented with a Diamond Jubilee medal at a special ceremony held at City Hall. In addition to Mr. Kelly, four other recipients were presented with their medals by Senator Vern White, Mayor Jim Watson, Deputy Mayor Eli El-Chantiry and myself. The other recipients were Mr. Moe Atallah, Mr. Jacques Shore, Mr. Gary Zed and Mrs. Alice Holst.

Mr. Kelly has done a tremendous amount of work for the City of Ottawa and Canada. He was the Director and Co-Chair of the fundraising committee for the Chinatown Gateway as well as the Canadian Asian of the Year Awards.

He co-founded the Irish Rose of Tralee International Festival in Ottawa Centre, was the Director and Secretary for the Irish Society of the National Capital Region and has been the Director for numerous organizations including Ottawa Tourism, Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association and Skal International Ottawa.

In addition to the above, Jason has been involved in many environmental, community and humanitarian projects and has been recognized for much of his work through numerous awards.

I would like to take this opportunity to offer my congratulations to Jason on this achievement.

Swimmers will Bring on the Bay at upcoming fundraiser Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

Climbing to the top Patrick Harvey, 8, tests out the new Banner Park playstructure just before its official opening with members of the Trend Arlington Community Association and KnoxdaleMerivale Coun. Keith Egli on July 9. The $17,500-structure was made possible through fundraising by residents under the leadership of Alison Harvey, along with donations from local businesses and both the current and former councillors.

EMC community - What started as a challenge between friends six years ago has grown into one of Canada’s largest open swims which raises money for children with physical disabilities.

On July 14, more than 450 swimmers of all ages and abilities will take part in the Busktukah Bring on the Bay Swim, where participants will swim three kilometers from the Nepean Sailing Club to the Britannia Yacht Club on Britannia Bay to raise money for Easter Seals Ontario.

“I think it’s grown in popularity because it’s a really great event,” said Krystal Walters, the development manager of the Easter Seals Ontario, Ontario East. “It’s very well run, and the facilities we use – the Nepean Sailing Club and Britannia Yacht Club – are unbelievably accommodating. And, it’s for a great cause.”

The annual fundraiser is now in its sixth year and has since raised more than $60,000 for Easter Seals. Last year alone, Walters said the event raised more than $30,000.

She said money raised from the event goes to help Easter Seals assist families of children with physical disabilities with the cost of mobility equipment and communications devices.

“The cool thing is not only are (participants) supporting a great cause, they also get to swim three kilometers,” said Walters.

The event is a “really amazing sight,” she said, with hundreds of swimmers wearing neon coloured swim caps. All participants also get a medal at the end.

“Everyone has neon green or yellow heads bobbing in the water, it’s the first thing in the morning, and they just kind of take off,” Walters said.

The water is usually much warmer than participants think,

Rod Beauprie

Hundreds of swimmers take part in the Bushtukah Bring on the Bay Swim fundraiser for Easter Seals Ontario last year.

This year’s event takes place at Britannia Bay on July 14. she said.

For first-time participants who might be nervous about the distance or swimming conditions, Walters said it is important to be confident. She said the event is open to swimmers of all levels and that support is provided on the water if people need breaks along the way.

“We have some swimmers who are quite athletic and who are avid swimmers, but we also have people who are leisure swimmers,” Walters said.

The swim will also showcase former Easter Seals ambassador Jenna Lambert, a full-time member of Team Canada’s Para Swim and the youngest female with a physical disability to swim across Lake Ontario. Her sister, Natalie, will also take part.

Natalie became the youngest female to swim Lake Ontario at age 14 and is the first person to swim butterfly stroke across Lake Erie.

“As a former Easter Seals child and a passionate swimmer, the Busktukah Bring on the Bay Swim is an event I have been looking forward to all year,” Jenna said in a press release.

“I am so proud to champion an event that gives back to the community in a healthy way for a cause so close to my heart.”

Walters said the goal this year is to raise $33,000 and it looks like they might exceed that goal.

She said there’s a cap of 475 swimmers, so she encourages potential participants to register online at www.bring onthebay.com.

Author pays homage to the Rock Novel explores small-town Newfoundland Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

R0011496280-0712

EMC entertainment - A new mystery novel from an Ottawa author takes the reader

to a small-town in Newfoundland where local culture and community play a significant role in solving the caper.

Author Mike Martin grew up in St. John’s, N.L., and moved to Ottawa in 1985 to work. The Old Ottawa East resident is currently a labour relations consultant by day, but has written a number of short stories and done freelance writing over the years.

Referring to writing as his escape and true passion, The

Walker on the Cape is Martin’s second book and first novel. It pays homage to his home province by setting the scene in the fishing community of Grand Bank.

“Every year we spend a lot of time in Grand Bank and the truth is not a lot of people know anything about the town,” Martin said of annual trips he takes to Newfoundland with his partner. “It was an opportunity to tell a bit of the history of Grand Bank and write a good mystery.”

The book’s main character is RCMP Sgt. Winston Windflower, a Cree from northern Alberta. Windflower finds himself stationed in Grand Bank and at first, Martin explains, is very much out of his element.

Windflower is thrust into a case involving the body of a man found on the cape, which is a trail overlooking the town. At first, Martin said, the townspeople believe the man had a heart attack, but it is soon discovered that the cause of death was poisoning.

“The novel has other criminal activities happening and there are secrets that no one is talking about and corruption with some of the officials from the town,” Martin said.

The author said he had fun playing with small-town mystery story conventions, but his familiarity with this particular town allowed Martin to add a great deal of local colour to the novel.

Readers are taken through the winding, narrow streets of a town that hugs the northern coast of the Burin Peninsula and are exposed to the town’s gossip mill situated at the local cafe and wharf-side benches full of old timers, affectionately known in the town as the “Liar’s Club.”

“There are pieces in the

Mike Martin’s first fiction novel, The Walker on the Cape takes readers on a mysterious ride through the smalltown of Grand Bank, N.L. book that people from Grand Bank will love,” Martin said.

“It is a story about a crime, a mystery, but it also is about Newfoundland culture, the food and customs.”

The idea, Martin explained was to recreate the town’s atmosphere for the reader.

“It is a view from the town from a person from the outside.”

This is the first in a series of stories that will feature Windflower, the author said, adding that he could easily see the stories being adapted for television, an idea he is shopping around.

Martin published his first book, a work of non-fiction,

through a company in the United States and said he found it much harder to publish his fiction novel.

“Fiction is much more difficult, mostly because there are more people writing and less people publishing,” he said.

Martin ended up working with a local publishing company, Baico Books, which is located in Centretown. The store offers authors like Martin the option of splitting the costs of publishing to help get their books on the shelves.

The book is available at Baico Books at 294 Albert St., online at Chapters, on the book’s website at www.walkeronthecape.com.

Emerald ash borer educational signs placed on trees Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news - The emerald ash borer beetle is eating Ottawa’s ash trees and one city councillor is determined to educate his ward about the deadly beetle.

After releasing the first of three new short videos created by his staff about the emerald scourge, Hume has now placed educational signs around Alta Vista with hopes of helping guide residents to the new emerald ash borer (EAB) web page put together by his office.

The signs depict a large emerald ash borer beetle and say, the EAB Could Be In Your Tree – the tagline for Hume’s entire summer emerald ash borer educational campaign.

“This situation is very grave – you can’t stop this beetle – you can only manage the infestation and therefore the sooner you know that you have the beetle the sooner we can take action,” said Hume.

Forty signs went into the community, strung around trees at intersections where drivers and pedestrians will see them.

In three to four weeks, the signs will be moved to other areas in the ward.

“The reason is simple residents need to know about this scourge - and that is why

I have created the entire EAB campaign from my cool videos to the very visible signs - to increase awareness. With awareness comes the ability to assist the city in managing this environmental pest,” said Hume.

The entire EAB Could Be In Your Tree campaign was begun by Hume to augment efforts already made by his office to better educate the Alta Vista community – an area of town where ash trees are numerous and badly hit by the beetle.

More public education strategies about the emerald ash borer are on their way later this summer, said Hume’s office.

Hume adds that the entire campaign is about engaging residents and making sure that they have the correct information so that they can help the city fight this beetle and hopefully manage the infestation and extend the life of ash trees.

“If we don’t do this, this beetle will kill all our ash trees and our community and our city will be the worst for it,” said Hume.

It costs the city $1,000 to cut down and replace a tree, so as the problem expands taxpayers could face a bill of millions to deal with all of Ottawa’s infected ash trees.

Bike helmet debate requires us to use our heads

R

ules, rules, rules.

The government always seems to be coming up with laws telling us what to do.

Have a life-jacket handy when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re travelling in a boat, buckle up when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a car, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink and drive.

Now, Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief coroner is recommending the provincial government make it illegal to bike without wearing a helmet.

Well, come on.

Just think of the arguments against such an absurd suggestion.

First, people would have to spend upwards of $20 to buy a helmet.

Twenty dollars that would be better spent on important items such as racing stripes to decorate bicycles or a new set of iPod headphones for those long cycling trips.

Another argument against forcing people to buy bike helmets is the cool factor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or

rather lack thereof.

Bike helmets put a dent in whatever type of fashion statement youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going for and prevent people from allowing their long Fabio-esque hair from flowing in the wind.

And if that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, helmets sometimes feel hot while cycling on warm summer days.

OK, OK, yes a bike-helmet law will save peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives.

Recently, an 18-year-old who wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wearing a helmet

died after crashing into a post in Kanata.

Every single one of the cycling deaths in the province between 2006 and 2010 was preventable, according a report from the office of the chief coroner.

According to the report only 27 per cent of the 129 people killed while cycling were wearing helmets.

Only four provinces in Canada have cycling helmet safety laws for people of all

ages.

Ontario and Alberta require people under the age of 18 to wear helmets.

When the question of a bike-helmet law hits Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park, MPPs will have to balance two arguments; voters distaste for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;nanny stateâ&#x20AC;? and the need to introduce legislation that could potential save lives.

If you accept the argument that helmets will save peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives, then maybe we

should move on to the next question: how do we encourage people to obey such a law.

Promotional campaigns, such as Ottawa Public Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Adopt a Helmet contest which offers prizes to youth ages 13 to 24 who are photographed wearing a helmet, are a good start.

Education will be the cornerstone of any intelligent campaign aimed at getting people to wear bike helmets.

Why city beats cottage, and vice versa CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

A

side from it being too hot most of the time, we have it pretty good in the summer, not having to worry about grammar or dressing up for work. There are great things going on in the city and the usual bounty of natural wonders out by the lakes.

The pressure to indulge in cottaging is intense. More and more we are hearing that the cottage is what defines us as Canadians. This makes it tough on people who worry about poison ivy, swimmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ear, raccoons and all the other side-effects of lakeside living. What people like this would really like to do is stay home in the air conditioning and let someone else worry about the mosquitos.

And whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to say that they should not have the opportunity? Every Canadian has the right to a guilt-free summer of their choosing. In that spirit, here, as a public service, is a summary of the pros and cons of summer in the city and summer at the lake.

Pros of staying in the city: You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to fight the traffic getting out.

You have the place pretty much to yourself.

There are seats on the buses and at restaurants.

Except for kids soccer night, your street is quiet.

There are festivals of all sorts, which you can really enjoy as long as you are adaptable.

For example, you should be adaptable enough not to expect blues at the blues festival.

The city has air conditioning. The country just has air.

The city has restaurants, where you can go if you feel like eating something that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been

on a barbecue.

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to drive back to the city.

The Internet.

Cons of staying in the city: If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave town, you will have to listen to friends telling you how great it was at the cottage. And look at photographs of fish. On their phones.

In the city you will have newspapers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in other words, unrelenting gloom.

You will have to do something about the part of the garden that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been eaten by squirrels.

All your friends are gone and the only thing on television is reruns.

Work.

Construction.

The Internet.

Pros of heading to the country: The joy of the open road.

Sunset and the sound of loons.

The sounds of splashing and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laughter.

A moratorium on the need to improve yourself, the freedom to read a mystery, to take a nap and eat stuff that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t strictly healthy.

Rustic bliss and losing track of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in the world.

Seeing real animals.

If the roof doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leak, a good storm.

The cons of visiting the country: A truck ahead of you on the open road, passing another truck, which is behind a trailer.

Construction.

Sunrise and the sound of crows.

The sounds of personal watercraft and somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sound system across the lake.

Trying to smile and pretend you are not sick of corn on the cob.

Things that might be bears that make a loud noise just when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to go to sleep.

Where can you find a sudoku in this rustic bliss?

No matter where you are, you will, unless you are a very secure sort of person, be nagged by the suspicion that others, elsewhere, are having a better time than you. Just remember that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking the same thing.

Herb garden open for tours Dickinson House to host July 14 and 15 event Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – The Manotick Horticultural Society will take visitors back in time this weekend as they offer tours of the pioneer herb garden at Dickinson House in Manotick.

From 11 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 14 and Sunday, July 15, visitors can see, taste and smell the various herbs and plants growing behind the heritage home.

According to organizer Jane Anderson, some of the herbs were used for cooking and healing, while others are simply aesthetic – they smell good.

“In the old days smell was sometimes an issue so they took that into consideration,” Anderson said.

She said pioneers in the area depended on the plants they could grow in their garden to survive, and there was little time and money for planting flowers without any use.

“For them (gardening) was much more serious. They didn’t have much time for gardening for aesthetic purposes, they were too busy keeping life and limb together,” she said.

Costumed members of the historical society as well as members of the horticultural society will take visitors through the gardens for a brief history of herbs, heirloom plants and their uses. Mint, parsley, lavender, horseradish and rue are just a few examples.

Anderson said the horticultural society has tried hard to stick to plants that would have been available at the time of Manotick’s founding in the 1860s, but it’s not entirely authentic.

“We don’t know if the Dickinson House ever had an herb garden,” she admitted.

The house itself was one of the first homes in Manotick, built by village founder Moss Kent Dickinson himself.

Throughout the years it served as a post office, general store, telegraph office and even the campaign headquarters for Sir John A. MacDonald during the 1887 general election.

It was also Dickinson’s family home beginning in 1870.

The herb garden was started by Manotick residents in 1970 and has been maintained by members of the Manotick Horticultural Society.

Dickinson House is located at 1127 Mill St.

Mind your manners With all the hustle and bustle of daily life, parents seem to have forgotten how to instil good manners in their children.

It’s a rare occasion that a child speaks to me without prompting from his mother.

At the innumerable play dates I’ve hosted without parents, I often find myself shaking my head at kids chewing with their mouths open, grabbing their crotches and failing to listen to the basic rules of the house. And I’ve yet to hear a kid say please or thank you.

I recall several years ago, my aunt offering my own dear son a cookie. Before handing it over, she asked that age-old question “what’s the magic word?” To which my son embarrassingly replied, “umm, abracadabra?”

From that moment, I deemed it necessary to discipline my children. (Having a mother like me is no picnic some days).

Don’t get me wrong.

Like most parents, I had spent years prompting my children to say hello to the

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse neighbours, to speak up when elders asked them questions, to say thank you when appropriate. It was a constant narrative of mom saying, “Say thank you. Say hello to Mrs. Smith. Granny’s asking

about your soccer game. Tell her about playing goalie.”

While this is probably not a bad start for instilling discipline in pre-schoolers, it loses its lustre once the kids are school-age. And the

LOOK FOR YOUR FLYER IN THE

problem with the prompting method, as I discovered at that abracadabra moment, is that it doesn’t stick. Kids don’t necessarily carry those good manners with them when mom and dad are not around.

I recall reading a teacher’s memoir in which he advocated a more action-oriented method; one that would force children to experience the natural consequences of their ill manners. If a child asked for something without tacking the word “please” on the end, the teacher would withhold the item until he or she remembered. If the child took the item without saying thank you, the teacher would take it away. While the rules of the game were explained up front, there was no verbal exchange during the transaction. He found that kids were much quicker to pick up on the concept once they understood the stakes.

I’ve employed this method, myself. While I have no idea what my children do when I’m not present, I’ve seen them at family visits thanking hosts for the meals and asking with an appropriate s’il vous plait, when they want the potatoes passed along at Thanksgiving, without a word from mom.

Stepping it up a notch, I have explained to my offspring – one of which happens to be rather shy – the importance of acknowledging adults, whether that means saying a simple hello or engaging in conversation with grown-ups before running off to play. As they continued to

ignore the grown-ups in their midst, I was pretty convinced I was just blowing hot air, until a few months ago.

We went for dinner at the house of some retired neighbours. In the past, my children had been known to bury their heads in their arms when asked “How are you?” or to simply ignore the question altogether and run off in search of toys. On this particular occasion, my eldest son was asked “How are you?” by the female host.

It was one of the proudest moments of my life when he responded, “I’m well, thank you. And how are you going?” (His anglicized version of the question in French). From that point, they exchanged pleasantries, until my son – in six-year-old fashion – finished the conversation by saying, “Could we please play with your toys now?” Thoroughly charmed, my neighbour was more than happy to lead them to the ’70s Playmobil she’d dug out of the basement storage in honour of their visit.

For all I know, my kids are crotch-grabbing, openmouth-chewing, no-pleasesaying little monsters when they go over to play with the neighbour kids. But I don’t think so. I’ve often had people – teachers, other parents and my childless friends – make purposeful comment on their manners. As one friend said to me recently, “people only make comments if they’re good; if they were bad, people would choose to say nothing at all.” I hope that’s true.

Associations get reprieve as lobbyist registry moves forward

Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A plan to exempt community associations from a planned city lobbyist registry may still hit a few snags.

They cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finance and economic development committee endorsed a plan for the registry on July 6, with some changes over the strict version presented last December.

At that time, community associations were included and would have had to publicly register all communications with city councillors and city managers.

The updated guidelines are more nuanced. Professional lobbyists hired by community associations would still be considered a lobbyist but the new rules would provide a clear distinction between lobbying and advocacy.

Guy Giorno, a lawyer who specializes in lobbyist registries, told councillors the amendments were a good idea that went too far. He said it excludes businesses lobbying on â&#x20AC;&#x153;broad policy issues,â&#x20AC;? including things like the nonsmoking bylaw.

That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit will with several councillors, including Gloucester-Southgate Coun.

Diane Deans, who drafted a motion aimed at removing that exemption when it relates to business interests. The motion city lawyers wrote didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite hit the point, Deans said, and committed to working on it and presenting it at council on July 11 instead.

The rules describe advocacy as communicating for or against a policy or program â&#x20AC;&#x153;where the primary focus is a broad community benefit or detriment, whether citywide or local.â&#x20AC;?

Lobbying is defined as communicating with a public office holder â&#x20AC;&#x153;who is paid or represents a business or financial interest with the goal of trying to influence any legislative action including the development, introduction, passage, defeat, amendment or repeal of a by-law, motion,

resolution or the outcome of a decision.â&#x20AC;?

COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION DEFINITION

Since community associations will be exempted, councillors had asked for a definition of what constitutes a community association.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said that distinction is especially important in his ward, where there are two community associations that have only two members that claim to represent their greater communities.

Other areas of the city share that concern said Beacon HillCyrville Coun. Tim Tierney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no qualifying material required â&#x20AC;Ś you can send and email with a link and you get put on the website,â&#x20AC;?

Tierney said.

As noted in the city staff report, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The City of Ottawa does not have a formal definition of a community association as many groups operate in the city in various capaci-

ties and with varying levels of formality.â&#x20AC;?

While the report on the lobbyist registry did contain a definition, it was for information only and not adopted as an official definition by the city. That work will continue as part of the mid-governance review in the fall, Mayor Jim Watson said.

COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT

For information in the meantime, city staff offered the definition used by the Federation of Urban Neighbourhoods (Ontario) as â&#x20AC;&#x153;any voluntary, not-for-profit, community organization that has the objective of serving the interests of a geographically-defined urban area in the Province of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;? and the Federation of Community Associations of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bylaw provides that membership in the federation is extended to â&#x20AC;&#x153;any non-profit, voluntary community, neighbourhood, property ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, tenantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

quirement to disclose communications with senior city staff and councillors would create a push for more zoning changes to go through the committee of adjustment, which is reserved for changes of a minor nature, rather than a fully vetted process through the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning committee.

As it stands, members of the committee of adjustment wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be covered by the new rules, top city lawyer Rick Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor said, but he committed to drafting a way to include them by the time council was set to vote on the matter on July 11.

Knoxdale-Merivale Coun.

Keith Egli said some of these issues could be alleviated if the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lobbying and development industries hop on board with the intent of the registry: to promote transparency and openness in city government.

By: Your Local Family Physiotherapy Team There are many benefits to staying fit during your pregnancy. Exercise can help prepare you for labour, get you back to your pre-pregnancy body faster, and reduce pain throughout the entire experience. The good news is that women who are physically fit generally have less back pain during pregnancy. Your body will go through a lot of changes during the next 40 weeks, including: weight gain, an expansion of the rib cage, stretching of the abdominal muscles (sometimes to the limit by the 9th month!), and a loosening of ligaments throughout the body caused by your pregnancy hormones.

This loosening of the ligaments causes joint laxity and can put 18

you at risk for injury in the low back, pelvis and legs. Gentle exercises such as swimming, walking, or use of a stationary bicycle can help keep you fit.

Maintaining good posture, resting for short periods of time, and changing positions often, can all help reduce pain in the last trimester. Be sure to talk to your doctor before starting or continuing any exercise routine while pregnant. Your physiotherapist can also provide you with safe exercises and treatment options to help relieve pregnancy pains.

Once given the go-ahead by your doctor, typically a few weeks after delivery of your baby, it will be

important to strengthen your core muscles. Continue your pregnancy exercise routine and then gradually return to your pre-pregnancy fitness routine. When in doubt, a physiotherapist can assess your areas of weakness and provide you with abdominal, back, or pelvic floor exercises.

EMC news – A vandalized stone monument to Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan has been restored at the memorial garden of the Royal Canadian Legion’s national headquarters in Kanata.

The stone Inukshuk was toppled by vandals sometime overnight on June 27, leaving the statue in pieces.

Bob Butt, outreach director for the Royal Canadian Legion, said the act was “very deliberate” as the statue weighs about 450 kilograms and was cemented to the ground.

Members of the Legion filed a police report when the broken statue was discovered early the next morning.

“We would like the people who did this to own up to it,” said Butt.

The statue was reassembled and erected by three employees of Moriarty Property Maintenance and Landscape free of charge, said Butt.

Some of the stones had to be glued back together.

“It’s not only symbolic but it was erected for a reason,” Butt said. “That reason was to pay homage to the 158 Canadians who died in Afghanistan.”

The stone statues were tra-

A statue dedicated to the Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan that was toppled by vandals on June 27 has been re-erected by a local landscaping company. ditionally used by the Inuit people as geographical mark-

ers used as markers by travelers.

“Inukshuk, when you look it up, it will say it leads the way,” said Butt. “This one points east to Afghanistan.”

The statue was donated by Richard Leger, whose son was one of the first soldiers killed while serving in Afghanistan.

A special ceremony was held in September 2011 marking the donation of the statue and an oak tree in honour of those who served in Afghanistan.

The Legers have decided not to repair the chips and marks left on the Inukshuk and granite plaque, which the heavy stone statue landed on.

Brett Wilson, Canadian entrepreneur and Dragon’s Den personality, has offered a reward to find the vandal.

“I will put up $1,000 as a reward to find vandals who wrecked a soldier’s memorial in Ottawa,” he posted on Twitter.

Wilson’s comment prompted others to reach out and match the reward.

Evident, a corporate investigations company in Saskatchewan and Sean Libin, a Calgary marketing, advertising and public relations executive, both offered to match the $1,000 reward.

Family grieves for drowning victims from Far North Young men were visting Ottawa from Nunavut EMC news - Ian Shooyook, 21, and Solomon Oyukuluk, 26, are being remembered by their families as caring and committed to their loved ones.

The two men were visiting Ottawa from Arctic Bay, Nunavut, escorting their mother and father who were receiving medical care.

Shooyook and Oyukuluk had disappeared June 30 near the DeschĂŞnes Rapids and their bodies were recovered last week in the Ottawa River.

The men were staying at Larga Baffin, a facility located on Richmond Road that houses and helps people from the Northwest Territories and Nunavut when they travel to Ottawa on medical trips.

Shooyook was there with his 73-year-old adoptive father, Isaac, while Oyukuluk was accompanying his mother, 60-year-old Tootalie Qangoo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both young men were very well liked and respected by those that knew them,â&#x20AC;? officials from Larga Baffin said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to take this opportunity to honour them for the love and commitment they gave to

their families.â&#x20AC;?

Through an Inuktitut interpreter, Isaac said he chose Shooyook to come with him when he found out he had to come to Ottawa for treatment.

It was his adoptive sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first time visiting the south.

The statement reads that Isaac called his son an â&#x20AC;&#x153;angel,â&#x20AC;? and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;kind and caring young man.â&#x20AC;?

Oyukulukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother described her son as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;good boyâ&#x20AC;? who was quiet. She said he loved his family and told the interpreter that her son would pick her up â&#x20AC;&#x153;lovinglyâ&#x20AC;? to help her get to where she needed to be since she had accessibility issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the kind of human being he was,â&#x20AC;? she said.

His mother also said that he was a member of the Canadian Rangers and was recently promoted to corporal.

She said her son had in the past been asked to lead his team through rough waters.

His experience was limited, she said, but his father had given him advice as a child on how to read the water and he â&#x20AC;&#x153;got through it.â&#x20AC;?

The men will be buried after theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sent back home.

While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said its impossible to know the cause, it was not the result of a collision, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It can be a number of things: a wire issue, a mechanical issue, an overheated brake,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said.

CHEO launches new mental health website Demand for services ‘a good thing’: Munter EMC news – The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario saw the largest demand ever for its mental health services in the 2011-12 fiscal year, prompting the hospital to launch a mental health website on July 9.

Hospital administration says the past year has been the busiest year in CHEO’s almost 40 year history.

CHEO has seen an almost 50 per cent increase in the number of visits to the emergency department for mental health-related crises in the last two years, and an 86 per cent increase in outpatient referrals.

As a result, more than 760 children and youth are on the waiting list to see a CHEO clinician and wait times have increased from about two or three months, to six to 12 months.

High-risk behaviours – including imminent suicide risks – are also increasing among

children brought to the hospital. That number jumped 22 per cent, the hospital said.

CHEO suggests the increase is at least partially caused by the removal of the stigma surrounding mental illness, which has prompted more parents to seek assistance.

According to CHEO, the new website is designed to provide children, youth and families with tools to encourage healthy discussion of the topic.

“Although we still have a ways to go before talking about your mental illness is like talking about your cancer or your asthma, one thing is clear,” Alex Munter, president and chief executive officer, CHEO said in a statement. “The world is changing. And this is a good thing.

“With early intervention and treatment we can change the entire trajectory of young people’s lives forever altering both their physical and mental health and their life expectations.”

CHEO, the Royal and the Youth Services Bureau are working with other community organizations to expand the reach of mental health services, reduce wait lists, identify critical gaps and help more families in the community.

High-tech strollers, stylish and practical diaper bags, and a whole raft of baby paraphernalia has positively transformed the experience of having a baby.

clothing options for pregnant women, a specialized range of pre and post natal items, and prenatal classes to support and enhance preparation for baby.

Owner and mother of seven Lorraine Rigby-Larocque has applied her tremendous experience, qualifications and knowledge to create a place that really can be considered ‘essential’ for expectant parents. Her shift to an easily accessible, permanent location is particularly timely, with the recent announcement that the Ottawa Hospital will cease offering prenatal classes at the end of August.

With children ranging in age from two to 22 years, and still breastfeeding her seventh and last baby, Lorraine developed a keen interest in prenatal education and lactation while she was still a young mother. Very positive home, hospital and even premature births with her own children, plus varied breastfeeding experiences, gave her wide ranging experience and insight that she supplemented with extensive study.

This path eventually led Lorraine to offering prenatal and lactation support in the Cornwall area, where she helped many new parents to have positive birth experiences and to succeed at breastfeeding, and where local midwives wholeheartedly recommend her services. With extended families dispersed and the medicalization of the birth experience, many new parents are unfamiliar with preparing for baby, childbirth, and the often difficult first weeks when babies and moms may need help with nursing.

Over the years Lorraine, a formally trained childbirth and lactation educator registered with CAPPA Canada , has finetuned the information and support essentials she offers parents, and realized that she needed a fixed base to do this most effectively.

Creating a warm and welcoming place Coming from an entrepreneurial family, Lorraine was accustomed to spotting gaps in the market, and it was obvious to her early on that Ottawa didn’t have enough in the way of prenatal resources and services. She imagined a place where expectant mothers and their partners could go for everything they might need during the pregnancy months and to prepare for birth and the first weeks with baby. She had painted a picture of what would become Maternity Essentials, the latest store to open at Greenbank Hunt Club Centre.

Maternity Essentials is essentially split into two halves: the front of the store is a retail space carrying a beautiful and on-trend selection of maternity fashions, a hand-picked selection of prenatal products including birth balls, tummy casts, breast pumps and doula bands, as well as a small and discerning collection of consignment maternity clothing. The rear of the space is devoted to creating a welcoming space for the prenatal classes that Lorraine conducts, as well as special workshops.

Maternity fashions include several lines not available elsewhere in the Ottawa area: PregO Maternity Swimwear (US-designed and made), Sono Vaso careerwear and separates made from deliciously soft Modal fabric, as well as great denim and tops from Lilac. The store’s consignment section builds on a wonderful trend seen in recent years in Ottawa.

The 14-hour Uniquely Yours Birth & Baby Prenatal Series offers expectant moms and their birth partners a wonderful way to get prepared for the big event, and to approach plans for their baby’s birth with confidence and valuable information. The classes offer exceptional preparation, including many hands-on elements, and always earn excellent feedback from parents.

The Ottawa Hospital will no longer offer prenatal classes after the end of August; call or visit Lorraine at Maternity Essentials to find out more about her prenatal series and support.

When you register for the 14-hour Prenatal Series, you automatically qualify for 10% off any purchase at Maternity Essentials. That’s 10% off, every day.

Breastfeeding support is available on an ongoing basis, along with the best pumps and pump accessories on the market, by Medela.

Fertility 101 classes and excellent quality Canadian digital thermometers offer help to anyone struggling with pregnancy planning. Drop in or call to find out more.

R0011492954

A special belly art session from 2 to 4pm on July 14th at the store will provide expectant mothers the chance to celebrate their belly and baby, to get to know other local mothers, and to learn more about offerings from Maternity Essentials. For event details and full contact information, see the store’s profile on the Greenbank Hunt Club Centre website: www.greenbankhuntclub.com

Firefighters escape with win EMC news - The Ottawa fire department’s extrication team competed against seven other teams at the Vehicle Extrication Challenge for eastern and southern Ontario held in Loyalist township in late June.

Every year since 1984 in Canada and the U.S., rescue personnel have assembled teams to compete in simulated road accidents that test their skills, experience and knowledge. The challenge sees firefighters from all around the globe compete, share knowledge and ideas about vehicle extrication techniques and procedures.

Online wander of world wonder Google project adds Rideau Canal EMC news - The Rideau Canal National Historic Site has been highlighted as an amazing wonder of the world and is one of three Canadian sites included in the Google World Wonders project.

Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Rideau Canal is a national resource that connects the towns and cities of Eastern Ontario.

It provides opportunities for land- and water-based recreation and preserves historical and ecological characteristics for a unique cultural experience.

People around the world can now get an initial taste of the Rideau Canal from their Internet-connected devices, which will raise the profile of the canal as a world must-see destination. View the Rideau Canal World Wonders project page at www.google.com/intl/ en/culturalinstitute/worldwonders/rideau-canal and find out about experiences to discover on the canal at www.parkscanada.ca/rideau.

The team, made up of seven rescuers, participated in three scenarios. Each scenario was set up with real vehicles being crushed together along with other props, such as fire hydrants, telephone poles, concrete barriers and any other object that could be involved in a real accident.

A live “patient” then climbed into the wreckage and awaited rescue. The team is then summoned to the area and the 20minute timer started.

The ultimate goal is to mitigate the hazards, stabilize the vehicle(s), stabilize the patient and safely extricate the patient

from the vehicle, all in the 20minute time frame.

The Ottawa team won the championship and was the only team to achieve an extrication in every event.

The team is now preparing for the International competition in Halifax this fall.

The team members, as well as all Ottawa firefighters, are trained in extrication, a skill that is becoming more and more hazardous and complex every year as car manufacturers must meet new passenger safety standards to make their vehicles safer and more crashworthy.

Queensway Carleton can now offer more specialized services EMC news - With a tug of the curtain, the Sreedhar Natarajan Ambulatory Care Centre and the Queensway Carleton Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outpatient rehabilitation program were officially open for business.

And that business is providing specialized outpatient services for QCH patients.

Natarajan was joined by Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation Bob Chiarelli and hospital officials for the naming of the new centre and its official opening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each day at Queensway Carleton Hospital hundreds of patients arrive, not to be admitted but to visit specialized clinics for treatment and testing, receive new therapy, undergo minor surgical procedures and much more,â&#x20AC;? said QCH president and CEO Tom Schonberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These ambulatory patients are a rapidly growing segment of the type of care that the communities of west Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley so desperately need.â&#x20AC;?

Annually, QCH has more than 40,000 outpatient patient visits per year for physiotherapy, occupational therapy, clinical and medical day treatments, examinations and minor procedures.

NEW SPACE

â&#x20AC;&#x153;June has been a very exciting month for our community hospital, with a new MRI in operation and now a new ambulatory care and rehabilitation centre,â&#x20AC;? said Chiarelli. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adding 40,000 patient visits every year will cut wait times

and make a real difference for west-end patients.â&#x20AC;?

The Sreedhar Natarajan Ambulatory Care Centre will serve patients who need to undergo minor surgical procedures, therapy and other specialized services. The new facilities are 1,250 square metres in size, almost double the space where the service was previously located.

The centre also includes a special telehealth consultation room, allowing healthcare professionals to be seen by a specialist without having to travel great distances into Ottawa. The medical day clinic allows patients who traditionally would have required hospitalization or extended time in the emergency department to access the care they need as an outpatient. The centre is also home to the total joint assessment clinic, a regional program developed at QCH. The Joseph and Rita Clarke Rehabilitation Centre joins physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech language pathology programs into one setting.

The improved space for the new program will allow almost 20,000 patients to be treated each year. The programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services includes hydrotherapy, fully equipped kitchens and washrooms to demonstrate and practice typical daily self care routines, two large gyms, pre-operative education classes, post-operative exercise classes and an outpatient treatment room for speech language pathology clients.

Ontario Dental Association recommends mouthguards for all sports activities EMC news - The warm weather, coupled with the end of the school year, means more time for children to participate in outdoor and recreational activities. Being active helps children get exercise and learn about team-

“A single blow to the mouth can result in injury, pain and sometimes months of treatment.”

DR. ARTHUR WORTH

work but, without proper protection, it can also lead to dental injuries.

Sports-related injuries are one of the most common causes of dental injury in children. These injuries are most often caused by direct hits with a hard object, such as a ball, and player-to-player contact. But while some dental injuries are unavoidable, most can easily be prevented by wearing a properly fitted mouthguard.

“Mouthguards can significantly reduce the risk of mouth injuries by acting as a cushion that absorbs the

impact from a blow to the mouth or jaw,” says Dr. Arthur Worth, president of the Ontario Dental Association.

“A mouthguard also protects the soft tissues in and around your mouth, such as your tongue, lips and the lining of your cheek.”

Mouthguards are necessary in any sport where there might be a strong chance of contact with other participants or hard surfaces. Players who participate in sports such as football, hockey, basketball, baseball, soccer, wrestling, lacrosse, rugby, gymnastics and martial arts should wear mouthguards when practising or competing.

Mouthguards are also a good idea for recreational activities such as skateboarding, inline skating and cycling.

Mouthguards aren’t just for children. The most common cause of traumatic dental injury in adults aged 18 to 50 is sports.

“A single blow to the mouth can result in injury, pain and sometimes months of treatment,” says Worth.

“In any recreational activity, whether it’s a full-contact sport or skateboarding at a park, a little preparation can prevent costly and painful mistakes.”

Talk to your dentist about the type of mouthguard that is right for your child.

NEVER SICK

For reasons which escape me today, we never got sick from food poisoning from a spoiled lunch.

Back then, you could go off and leave your belongings on your chosen spot without fear of it being stolen. Often there would be a midway and we would wander through the fair grounds, knowing we could never take advantage of the rides or candy ďŹ&#x201A;oss - there would be no money for such frivolities and we considered ourselves lucky just to be in Renfrew for the parade.

It seemed to take forever for the bands to get lined up in proper order and as soon as they started to play and march out of the fair grounds, every eye would be turned towards the place where King Billy would be in the lineup.

He always rode a white horse and its tail would have been braided for the day with yellow and blue ribbons ďŹ&#x201A;ying out behind. Everyone roared and clapped, even those who had absolutely no connection with the Orangemen.

We usually knew who King Billy was because often he turned out to be a

EMC news - Low water conditions continue throughout the Rideau valley watershed and all residents are asked to voluntarily reduce their water use by 10 per cent.

The level of drought is based on the three-month rainfall totals which currently sit around 79 per cent of the long-term average for the watershed. The month of June was even drier at 73 per cent of normal.

The relatively dry winter, followed by below normal spring and early summer rainfall, is causing stream and lake levels to drop. On the Rideau Lakes, the low rainfall and lake inďŹ&#x201A;ow is causing lower lake levels.

Flows in all streams and the Rideau River are well below average for the time of year.

neighbour, but for that day he was someone very special and our hands ached from clapping when he passed by us on his white horse.

Hundreds of people, not even part of the parade, dressed for the occasion.

White suits, white dresses, white shoes and stockings and brilliant orange and blue sashes swathed across their chests. For years I begged Mother to let me go as an Orangeman, but to no avail - she told me to be satisďŹ ed to be at the parade. Back then, the true signiďŹ cance of the day meant little to us children. We had Catholic neighbours who took the day off from farming just as we did.

On that day, it was the parade that mattered, not which church you belonged to. We children thought we were pretty lucky to be able to go into Renfrew for the day, and leave the day chores behind us.

We would wait until the entire parade passed the spot we had chosen to sit, which often took more than an hour.

And then Mother would take the quilts off the basket of lunch and we would eat like we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a meal in days. It always tasted better coming out of the basket than it did when it was just eaten around the old pine table in the kitchen back on the farm in Northcote.

I could never ďŹ gure that out and once I asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey, how that could be.

Her answer made perfect sense to me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything always tastes better when you are at a parade,â&#x20AC;? sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say.

t didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter a whit that our family were Lutherans and that Mother still thought of herself as a Catholic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when the 12th of July rolled around, we practically closed down the farm and headed into Renfrew to celebrate with the hundreds of Orangemen who met once a year to observe the Glorious Twelfth.

We would get up earlier than usual that day, so that we could ďŹ nish the chores and be in town before the parade started. But long before we left the farm, there were preparations to make at home. We wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be back until late in the day, so the chores had to be done and the livestock tended to. We children would have a morning bath and then dressed in the clothes we would wear to church on Sundays.

My sister Audrey and Mother would start to pack the lunch early. Sandwiches of roast beef and sliced chicken, hard-boiled eggs and raisin cookies were all packed in 11-quart baskets lined with clean white ďŹ&#x201A;our-bag tea towels. Honey pails would be ďŹ lled with big chunks of ice from the ice house and tea, made the night before and left sitting on the back of the stove, poured in.

The parade always started at the fair grounds, so that was where we headed with the old Model T. We always tried to park close to the gate, so we would have no trouble getting out when it was time to head home.

We looked for a grassy spot which we would claim for the day. Mother would have taken one or two quilts, and these would be spread

Four easy ways to give fresh fruit flavour appeal

W

e all enjoy one of the biggest benefits of summer – the availability of a wide variety of seasonal fresh fruit.

Fruit can be served as a snack, an appetizer, a salad or a dessert. It’s generally quick and easy to prepare and can be served at any time of the day.

While we often eat fresh fruit just as is, sometimes a few extras can give it a whole new flavour. Here are some suggestions to try.

With some, I’ve given only approximate amounts so vary them to your taste.

WATERMELON WITH FRESH MINT & FETA

• 1/4 red seedless watermelon, cubed • 3-4 fresh mint leaves, minced • 2-3 tbsp. crumbled feta cheese This has to be tasted to believe, the flavour is amazing.

In a serving bowl, gently toss the watermelon cubes with the mint. Top with the feta cheese. Serve as an appetizer or salad.

Serves two to four.

HONEYED CANTALOUPE WITH BLUEBERRIES

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff • 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice • 2 tbsp. liquid honey • a pinch of cinnamon • 1 cup fresh blueberries • 3 cups cantaloupe melon, cubed in bite-sized pieces, then measured In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, honey and cinnamon together.

Place the blueberries and cantaloupe cubes in a serving bowl, and toss gently with the dressing. Serve as a dessert.

Serves four.

You can substitute fresh raspberries for the blueberries for variety.

BLUEBERRIES WITH ORANGE SHERBET

• 1 litre orange sherbet • 1-2 cups fresh blueberries This is quick and easy to prepare and makes a refreshing dessert on a hot summer

night.

When you’re ready to serve dessert, scoop the sherbet into individual serving bowls. Scatter fresh blueberries over the sherbet.

Serves four.

STRAWBERRIES WITH SOUR CREAM & BROWN SUGAR

• 3 cups fresh strawberries • 1/2 cup sour cream (reduced fat) or plain yogurt • 4 tbsp. brown sugar For this recipe, you can use either light sour cream or plain yogurt.

Wash and pit the berries.

If they are small, leave them whole. If they are large, slice them.

Divide the prepared berries among individual serving bowls. Top each serving with some of the sour cream or yogurt. Sprinkle a tbsp. of brown sugar on top.

Serves four.

RAPHAEL

ID#A142556

ID#A142138

Max is a neutered male, black and white Domestic Shorthair cat who is about seven years old. Max came to the shelter on April 23 but is now available for adoption.

This beautiful boy is declawed on his front paws and he loves to roll around on the floor while you pet him. He has a patient and easy going disposition: he gets along well with other cats and he has lived with rabbits previously.

Max would rather not live with really young children as he prefers a quieter environment with a family who can respect when he needs “alone time.”

Hello, my name is Shadow. I am a 2 year old Poodle-Terrier mix who loves running in the backyard, going camping, playing with my master Ariane and stealing her toys. My pet-parents take good care of me; I was pretty shy at first when they got me but, after taking some training classes, I listen well and am now a good dog.

Meet Raphael, an unaltered male, orange and white American Shorthair guinea pig. He is about nine months old and was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on April 11. Raphael loves to speak and squeak his mind! Pay him a visit and he will charm you with his conversation skills. He’s a social butterfly who solicits attention from anyone willing to listen and give him some affection.

Guinea pigs are talkative and entertaining creatures that enjoy a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables as treats. They love to be where the action is and become part of a routine in the home where they can join in the conversation and sing you a song or two. To find out more about owning a guinea pig, contact the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www.ottawahumane.ca

OPERATION: FOREVER HOME The Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) is urging people to consider adding to their family because the Adoption Centre is full of furry and feathered friends needing homes.

With more animals than ever before in the shelter, and more arriving each day, there is no room in the Adoption Centre for new adoptable dogs and cats. Animals in the holding area can’t be moved into the more spacious Adoption Centre for the public to see until some of the current adoptables move out.

The dog pods in the Adoption Centre are all occupied with dogs of all sizes, shapes and ages – with one thing in common – they’re all looking for a forever home!

“The summer is a great time to

welcome a dog into the family,” said Bruce Roney, OHS Executive Director. “Everyone is outdoors biking, riding, hiking: all activities you can enjoy with your dog. The family is together and can take the time to welcome and bond with their new pet.”

There are nearly 100 cats available for adoption at the West Hunt Club Facility as well as throughout the city at PAL (Pet store Adoption Location) partners.

Through July, the OHS is actively promoting cat adoption. During this period, for people who adopt one adult cat (six months or older) from its 245 West Hunt Club Road location, the adoption fee will be waived on a second adult cat adopted. The OHS has cats available at several of its Pet store Adoption

Anyone interested in adopting a cat can visit the OHS Adoption Centre, weekdays 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Pictures and profiles of adoptable cats are also featured online at www.ottawahumane.ca.

The OHS currently has about 40 small animals and birds looking for new homes. There is a pet for everyone at the OHS – large, small, furry or feathered.

Please spread the word and tell your friends to take visit our Adoption Centre. You might meet your new best friend!
