Hockey legend’s legacy honoured Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
A ceremony filled with laughs and a few tears celebrated the renaming of arena one at the Ray Friel Recreation Complex, which is now known as the Ron Racette Arena. The arena was named after Racette, a hockey player and coach – mostly with the Quebec
Major Junior Hockey League – who was from Orléans. Racette passed away in 1984, but SFOPHO, a Franco-Ontarian heritage society in Orléans, proposed the commemorative renaming to the city. “He was a model and champion for us in Orléans,” said Nicole Fortier, SFOPHO president, at the Aug. 21 ceremony.

Innes Coun. Jody Mitic will host a neighbourhood safety meeting in Blackburn Hamlet in the wake of the second shooting to occur in the community so far this year. The meeting will be held on Sept. 1 at 7 p.m. at the Blackburn Community Hall at 190 Glen Park Dr. There were shots fired in Blackburn Hamlet, in the 2600-block of Innes Road, on Aug. 14 at 5:15 a.m. No one was injured in the shooting, but it was the second shooting in the Hamlet of 2016. In January, a man was shot in the leg while sleeping in his Blackburn home. After the shooting, police said the victim was unconnected to the shooters, who had apparently targeted the wrong house. Charges were laid. Following the January

El-Chantiry met with Mayor Jim Watson behind his office’s closed doors on Aug. 25. But despite the heated back-and-forth in recent headlines, they decided to keep details of the private meeting to themselves. “Our members have a very difficult job to do out there. It’s been compounded by some of the very public discussion that has been taking place within the media,” said Bordeleau. “We all agree that these conversations have no place in the public forum.” Watson described it as a “very thorough and frank discussion” about issues that can be dealt with internally, at the board level, or provincially.

wasn’t a love-in,” said Watson, of the meeting. The internal discord came to light last March, when Const. Paul Heffler sent a letter to his colleagues criticizing senior staff for treating rank-and-file officers like “dime store security guards.” Since then, Skof has been publicly vocal about several police board decisions, including a plan to fold community officers into a patrol unit. He called for El-Chantiry’s resignation after the
police board chair denied morale among officers was low. Last week, Watson said that if any cops are unhappy with their jobs, they should quit. The four city and police leaders took a different approach on Aug. 25. “As we’ve all agreed, something needs to change,” Skof said. “We’re hopeful to see that in the coming weeks.” – With files from Emma Jackson

Racette Jr. said his mother was teary-eyed as she heard people share stories about her late husband, and reflect on the impact he made on the community. “It’s like my dad was right next to her when she accepted the plaque,” Racette Jr. said. “You could just feel him right next to her.”

He drove from Sherbrook to take part in the ceremony to honour his father, and sat alongside his mother Christiane, daughter Elora and aunt Rollande. “Knowing how much of an impact that my dad had in the community of Orléans, I thought it was fitting for him to get a venue named after him,” Racette Jr. said. “He really did a lot for the community, for hockey in gen-

The second chapter for the Great Stories Never Told program has officially begun. Those associated with the Sonshine Community Ministries project in which senior citizens record their life stories on paper and video gathered to launch the second round of the program from
their St. Joseph Boulevard office. Eugene Perabo, who took part in the first phase of the project, was encouraged to write his own story after writing his father’s. His son took the time to read a few pages a night to Perabo’s granddaugthers. “It’s for your children and grandchildren, but it’s also for yourself so you can re-
flect on your life,” he said. Ottawa-Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde celebrated the $5,000 in funding the project received from the province at the phase two launch. She said it’s important to capture information and stories so they don’t fade away, and are lost forever. See SUBSIDIZED, page 7

The first person to sign up for the second phase was Fazlollah Reza, who is 101 years old. Reza, a professor and former ambassador to Canada from Iran, is quite accomplished in multiple academic fields. His daughter, Sharieh Reza, said friends heard about the Great Stories Never Told project and encouraged her father to get

He was born in Iran in what was a very politically unstable situation, he said. “I was born in that difficult time and so we did not have much of these modern facilities. The schools were undeveloped, but lots of kids attended. But that doesn’t mean people were under-developed – people were smart,” he said.

Connected to your community
City and police agree to keep public in the dark It’s funny how those whose paycheques are paid for by the public hate it when the public gets a glimpse into the inner workers of their operations. How else can residents of Ottawa take the comments that have been coming from the mayor and the police chief when it comes to the internal strife going on within this city’s police force. On Aug. 25, just a day after a protest in front of police headquarters demanding justice in the case of Abdirahman Abdi, a Somali man who died after a confrontation with police in the city, the mayor, police chief, police union head and police board chair gathered in private to clear the air over what appears to be ongoing dissension within police ranks. After that closed door meeting, the mayor emerged to concede the meeting wasn’t a “love-in”, but said they all agreed to work together to solve any issues within the force. But, and this is the key for those in the public, they will do this working together like they held their meeting, behind closed doors and out of public view. “Our members have a very difficult job to do out there. It’s been compounded by some of the very public discussion that has been taking place within the media,” said Ottawa Police Chief Charles
Bordeleau. “We all agree that these conversations have no place in the public forum.” Good to know that they all agree that the city’s police force’s internal issues are nobody’s business but theirs. The internal discord came to light last March, when Const. Paul Heffler sent a letter to his colleagues criticizing senior staff for treating rank-andfile officers like “dime store security guards.” Since then, Ottawa Police Association president Matt Skof has been publicly vocal about several police board decisions, including a plan to fold community officers into a patrol unit. He has even called for the police board’s chair to resign. And that prompted Watson to say that any cops that are unhappy with their jobs should quit. There’s no doubt residents would like to know issues causing internal strife within their police department are addressed. Unfortunately, residents of the city will now have to sit back and wait for the mayor, police chief, police association and police board chair to deem them worthy of knowing what is going on once they have decided what is appropriate to let their bosses — the public — know.
New pedestrian bridge might be good solution
A
t first glance, you might be a bit disappointed that some of the big federal transportation money announced for Ottawa last week was for a pedestrian bridge. There was money for trains, buses, design, transit structures, and so on. But how does a pedestrian bridge help ease our congestion woes, you might ask. Well, it makes big sense the more you think about it. The more people walk, the fewer people drive and this bridge — over the Rideau Canal linking Fifth and Clegg avenues — will get more people walking to a venue where traffic is always an issue, Lansdowne Park. The Corktown Footbridge linking the University of Ottawa and Centretown has made life more convenient for residents of both
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town areas. You can tell by how many people are using it, at all hours of the day. We have also seen, in the Adàwe Crossing over the Rideau River between Sandy Hill and Overbrook, how positive it can be to give people the opportunity to get from one neighbourhood to another without having to get in a car. A pedestrian bridge to Lansdowne could enliven the place, which often seems woefully underpopulated in the days between major sports or entertainment events. Supporters of Lansdowne insist
that parking is not a problem there, that ample on-site parking exists, but the relevant fact is that people think parking is a problem and that keeps some of them away. Many of them will be happy to walk to Lansdowne, if given the opportunity. A new bridge has the additional benefit of bringing people from one neighbourhood into another that they don’t normally walk to. Who knows what can result from that, bringing Glebeites into touch with folks from Ottawa East? Certainly nothing bad. In a more general sense, footbridges turn cities in a more liveable direction. In any city, and certainly in ours, the best neighbourhoods are those where people can get what they need, do what they want to do, on foot or with a bicycle. Although everybody seems to

understand this, in the abstract, we have somehow been moving in the wrong direction for years, putting up residential developments with no stores nearby, building huge superstores great distances away from the people who use them, allowing small neighbourhood stores to be driven out of business by overpowering competitors, not to mention high rents and increasing property taxes. Those neighbourhood stores have a better chance of surviving if people are nearby and able to get to them easily. Widening the Queensway does nothing for this. The next few years will see major changes in the way people get around, with light rail causing shifts in where people choose to live and how they choose to get from here to there. Or at least that’s the hope. When you consider all those changes, adding one more footbridge is not a dramatic initiative, to be sure. But dramatic steps have not been getting us anywhere. EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: Brian Dryden, brian.dryden@metroland.com, 613-221-6162 REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com 613-221-6241
Maybe small steps are worth a try. Look at how significant the small undertaking of creating downtown bike lanes has been. If cities are to survive and thrive past the age of vehicular strangulation, there have to be more people on foot. So any money devoted to this most ancient form of transportation is money well spent.

Registration day comes and goes and the kids are fine
I
t’s that time of year again – time to sign the kids up for extracurricular activities! I mapped out a schedule. I marked the opening day of online registration for the City of Ottawa and other clubs. I did a budget. I planned out equipment required. Only then did I ask the kids what they wanted to do. “Nothing in September, mom,” said my 10-year-old. “I’ll be too tired adjusting to school hours and homework.” But, I protested, didn’t he need a physical outlet, a creative outlet or an opportunity to excel in soccer in the off-season? “I can play soccer at the park, mom,” he said. I tried the other son. “I don’t want to do anything, mom,” said my 11-year-old. “I already have football 10 hours a week until November.” Oh yeah! I had forgotten about that one. Tricky. What about swimming lessons? They wouldn’t want to lose the momentum from last spring and a summer in lakes. Didn’t they want to push through to the next level? “No, thanks,” was the unanimous reply. My daughter would love to do ballet, piano, soccer and swimming. But she’s too young to engage in extracurricular. She’ll have a hard enough time adapting to school days without a nap. I put a line through her name.
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse I thought about signing myself up for French language training, adult swimming lessons and yoga. But I realized I have a full slate of client work and barely enough time to get to the gym every day as it is.
‘It would be nice to have family dinners again after spending five summer nights per week on a field over the supper hour. ‘
So there I was, logged into every site imaginable, credit card in hand and nothing to register. Like any modern mom, my brain started questioning if it’s a good idea to skip a season of extracurricular activities. Will they miss out? Will they fall behind the oth-
ers? Will they be bored? But then I started thinking about the reality of after school. Tired kids, daily homework, snacks, dinners and lunches. Oh, and football 10 hours a week. It would be nice to have family dinners again after spending five summer nights per week on a field over the supper hour. It would be great for them to have time to play at the park on warm September afternoons. It would be pleasing to save tuition money for music lessons, swimming fees and other costs for a season. With feelings of uncertainty still lurking, I logged off the online registrations. If my prophetic mom abilities are intact, however, midSeptember will bring a storm of complaints, “Mom, I’m bored. Why do we have to go to a football field three nights a week? Why didn’t you sign me up for any activities?” By then, of course, it may be too late to register. I guess we’ll just have to live life on the edge.
CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT RIVERSIDE SOUTH MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN UPDATE RIDEAU RIVER STUDY AREA REVISED NOTICE OF COMPLETION In September 2008, the City of Ottawa completed the Riverside South Community Master Drainage Plan Update (MDPU) and Riverside South Community Infrastructure Servicing Study Update (ISSU) in support of the Riverside South Community Design Plan (CDP). The study was part of a Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to review infrastructure servicing alternatives for the Riverside South Community area of Ottawa. The final MDPU identified the preferred stormwater management alternative. In October 2012, the City of Ottawa released revised sewer design guidelines with new criteria for stormwater management and storm sewer design. In addition, changes to the City of Ottawa Official Plan are promoting increased density of development and significant land use changes. An update to the CDP was initiated in 2014 and finalized in 2016 to reflect land use, density, and transportation changes. To supplement the CDP, an update to the MDPU was completed to review the overall drainage plan for the study area that integrates with and enhances the natural environment of the study area. The update was divided into two study areas based on the receiving watercourse; directly to the Rideau River or to Mosquito Creek via proposed stormwater management facilities. This notice pertains to the MDPU Report for areas draining to the Rideau River “Rideau River Study Area” which presents an update to the existing natural environment of the study area as well as recommends a preferred stormwater management strategy for the proposed Riverside South Community. By this Notice, the 2016 MDPU is being placed on the public record in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, as amended 2007, 2011 and 2015). Please note that only the changes proposed in the MDPU are open for review.

BACK to CLASS FALL REGISTRATION Congratulate kids for their effort while doing homework
Take the stress out of doing homework by encouraging your child’s efforts.
Submitted
It’s not always fun to sit down with children to do homework. Imagine what it’s like for them, after a whole day of school. Turning homework into a game can help take the stress out of homework. These strategies can help make this obligation more fun for everybody. • Play school with your child. Find yourself a little desk, let her pretend to be the teacher, and ask her to show you how to write out her spelling words. This is especially effective if you create a “blackboard” with a piece of paper taped to the wall. • Allow your child to move around while working. After sitting all day at school, your son might have difficulty sitting still at the kitchen table. Allow him to stand up, and ask him to say his multiplication tables while throwing you a ball. • Reward work with play. Come to an agreement with your child to play with him or her for 5 minutes for every 15 minutes of concen-
trated effort (or any other ratio that works). • Invest in some educational computer software that will help your son feel excited about learning grammar, math, and other subjects. • Exchange privileges for achievements. For example, you might agree that your child can go to bed 15 minutes later than usual if she can finish her math homework in fewer than 15 minutes. Timing her will increase her concentration, but be realistic about the challenges; you don’t want to discourage her. • List each homework job to be done on a separate piece of paper and let your child pick the next task to tackle. Include a surprise note, on which might be written “take a 10 minute break” or “enjoy a second story at bedtime”; this will add a touch of anticipation and encouragement to the jobs. • Be encouraging rather than stressed out. Congratulate your child for good results and be positive about future attempts. Most of all, help him or her to feel proud of their efforts.

Back to class fall registration Keys to a positive return to school We are approaching the time of year when families jump out of holidays and start their back to school routine. Here are a few tips to help make the back to school transition easier: 1. A great day starts with a good night’s sleep. Staying up late in the summer is a habit that a lot of kids and parents get into. A few weeks before school starts up, make sure that a regular nighttime routine is followed. Put the kids to bed earlier and wake them up at the time they would have to get up for school. This will help them ease into the earlier mornings once classes begin. 2. Get yourself up and ready first. Parents also need to get into the swing of things when kids go back to school. Get up slightly earlier than normal to make
sure you have time for yourself and your kids. Making breakfast and lunch, packing book bags and getting outfits ready takes some extra time, and you don’t want to throw off your own morning routine. Just because it is fall
3. Continue exercising. Just because it’s the fall doesn’t mean keeping fit should slow down. Studies show that kids who exercise every day perform better in school. Encourage your kids to stay active by walking them to the bus stop or letting them ride their bikes or walk to school. If those sneakers are showing wear from all that summer fun, pick up a new pair for travelling to school and for gym class. A wide variety of styles
and sizes are available across the country at Sport Chek. 4. Schedule appointments. Plan ahead and book any necessary appointments and checkups before school starts, including teeth cleaning, vaccinations and haircuts. Getting these out of the way now means your child won’t have to miss school later. 5. Reestablish routines that may have been forgotten. Get back into building a routine with your kids, including early dinners, book bag packing and a bedtime story. Ensure your child’s backpack can hold all their supplies and fits them properly, particularly if they have grown over the summer. Sport Chek carries backpacks in a variety of shapes Submitted

Sleep very important to having academic success Do your teenagers sleep a lot? Good! In order to be fit and able to absorb lots of new information, adolescents should get between nine and 10 hours of sleep a day. If your teens have a tendency to go to bed around midnight and then get up at seven in the morning to go to school, they’re probably suffering from chronic lack of sleep. Sleeping in till noon on Saturday won’t help them recover. During adolescence, hormonal changes affect sleep. Melatonin and cortisol, two hormones that regulate sleeping and waking, can
undergo ab rupt changes in level. On top of that, many teenagers neglect their sleep because of a busy schedule. A young person who doesn’t get enough sleep will have trouble getting up in the morning and may lack concentration or be drowsy, dizzy, nervous, irritable and depressed.
academic performance, encourage your teenagers to adopt the following good habits: • Go to bed and get up every day at the same time. • Turn off all screens (including cell phones) at least one hour before going to bed. • Establish a relaxing bedtime routine; try a glass of warm milk, a warm bath and listening to soft music. • Don’t drink any caffeine (coffee, tea, energy drinks) after the middle of the afternoon. Be sure to talk to a healthcare professional if your teenagers lack energy despite a stable sleep routine.
Lack of sleep
A chronic lack of sleep reduces a person’s learning and memory skills and can have a negative impact on school grades. To restore a normal sleep cycle that will improve their

Beyond the boring lunches of the past
For school lunch sandwiches, try whole grain pitas, baguette, or tortillas.
18 Orléans News - Thursday, September 1, 2016
Submitted
Have you run out of ideas for varying the contents of the kids’ lunch boxes? Are they complaining about always eating the same old thing? Freshen up your lunch-box menu with these brilliant ideas. You can put your children’s favourite leftovers in an insulated container or a microwaveable dish. You could also cook larger quantities in the evening and use the leftovers as the basis for different dishes. Cut strips of chuck roast eaten in the evening to add to an Asian pasta salad; make chicken fried rice with the remains of a roasted chicken. Even eaten cold, these dishes help beat the monotony of the usual fare. For sandwiches, forget sliced white
bread; it contains little nutrition and can get boring. Opt for whole grain pitas, baguette, or tortillas. Fill the sandwich with home cooked meats cut into strips, or use hummus, tofu mix, cheese, or tuna — all are healthy and delicious replacements for cold cuts. Con diments don’t have to be the traditional mustard and mayonnaise. Why not try ranch dressing, pesto, or guacamole for a change? The fruits and vegetables food group also benefits from a bit of variety. The celery and carrot duo can give way to zucchini, peppers, broccoli, or cauliflower. And berries, a peach, or a pear make a change from the ubiquitous apple. Bon appétit!

Some advice for parents of teens that are about to start college or university Do you feel anxious, insecure and nostalgic as your teenagers begin their post-secondary education? It’s normal. Your children are now young adults, and you may be feeling unsure of your role in their schooling now that they’re becoming more and more independent. Here are some tips for handling this situation: • Encourage your children to verbalize their feelings about continuing their studies at a post-secondary level. • Show that you support them and are truly interested in their studies. • Make sure your children are aware of the importance of attending classes regularly. • Be on the lookout for signs of fatigue and a lack of interest or motivation. If you

see any of these, don’t judge their behaviour; try to understand it. • Don’t focus only on their marks. If your children aren’t very talkative about their marks, don’t keep at it all the time. Keep communication channels open by asking general questions. How is school going? Are you happy with your program? Which activities interest you the most? Submitted • Ask about which student support ser- Supporting your child when they first head off to colvices are available at the institution (aca- lege or university is important as they make the trandemic or career guidance, learning support, sition to higher education. psychological counselling, etc.). If necessary, encourage your children to use these services. Lastly, don’t underestimate the role you can play as a parent in your child’s post-secondary education. Be available and attentive, because your support is crucial.

Local hurdler, 16, to help launch annual Cancer Chase on Sept. 25 Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
The Cancer Chase is back in the Hamlet, and a local teen champion hurdler will kick it off. Keira Christie-Galloway, 16, is currently the fourth fastest female hurdler in her age group in the world and a future Olympic hopeful. The Blackburn Hamlet sprinter had a recordbreaking year including a Canadian youth record at the high school provincial track championships – where she broke former Canadian Olympic hurdler Perdita Felicien’s record that was set before ChristieGalloway was born. So it fit when a Cancer Chase committee member suggested inviting her as a guest of honour to help launch the annual fundraising walk and run. “We’re hoping people will come to meet her, get to know a local champion,” said event chair Bill Horne. It’s a good opportunity to get out there and meet community members, ChristieGalloway said. She took part in the Cancer Chase when she was first starting her track and field career three years ago, alongside a family member. The Cancer Chase will be a family affair again this year, with four generations of her family participating. Track came naturally to the Grade 12 St. Matthew
Brier Dodge/Metroland
Cancer Chase chair Bill Horne (left) and Keira Christie-Galloway, 16, will take part in this year’s Blackburn Hamlet Cancer Chase on Sept. 25. Christie-Galloway recently represented Canada at the world under-20 championship in the 100 metre hurdle race. high school student, who used to compete in gymnastics. When she started to grow taller than her competitors, and began to lose passion for the sport, she joined the Ottawa Lions track and field club, competing in sprints
and long jump. Two weeks after she signed up, she was on the bus home from the provincial championships with a medal around her neck. “Running just comes naturally,” she said. This year, the teenager
spent most of her summer competing, and travelled to the world under-20-championships in Poland, where she competed in the older, for her, junior age category. Her grandmother Lynn Thompson said part of her success can be credited to
her work ethic – she only missed one training session in the past year, and she had to be convinced to stay home sick. Next, Christie-Galloway hopes to represent Canada in the 2017 Pan-American Junior Games, and com-
pete in the World Junior Championships in Finland in 2018. She will more than likely be the fastest person at the Cancer Chase, but participants don’t need to commit to a speedy time to participate. More people walk the annual event than run the five kilometres, Horne said. The goal is to bring the community together and raise money to fight cancer. The Cancer Chase originally started as a Run for the Cure more than a decade ago, and now raises money for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation. Last year, the run changed venues to take place at the Hornets Nest instead of on Hamlet streets. Participants can preregister for $25 to receive a t-shirt, and start an online donation page. Participants are encouraged to raise money for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation ahead of time, but day of registration with a donation will also be accepted. Horne said they hope to raise more than the $13,056 that was collected last year. The 2016 Cancer Chase will take place on Sept. 25, starting at the Eric Danis Clubhouse at the Hornets Nest on Bearbrook Road. Doors open at 8:15 a.m. and the event starts at 9 a.m. For more information and to pre-registration, visit cancerchase.com.

Ombudsman calls for more help for adults with developmental disabilities Report includes recommendation to push Ottawa police model Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
The Ontario ombudsman says the province is failing families who care for adults with development disabilities. The report, entitled Nowhere to Turn: Investigation into the Ministry of Community and Social Services’ response to situations of crisis involving adults with developmental disabilites, was released on Aug. 24. “When we first began this investigation, we encountered the same roadblocks many of these families had faced for years: a fragmented, overly complicated system of service agencies and funding programs and a baffling lack of flexibility from officials at the top,” said Ontario ombudsman Paul Dubé. The report made 60 recommendations — including one that says police forces need to develop a model for dealing with cases of abuse by caregivers of adults with
developmental disabilities. Ottawa police have a model in place already. In Ottawa, calls of that nature are directed to a two-person elder abuse and vulnerable persons task force. The task force officers are aware of resources for adults with developmental disabilities, and can properly investigate allegations. One of the case studies in the report was about a 23-year-old Ottawa man, who came in contact with the special task force. The man, who the report refers to as ‘Adam’, has severe autism and suffered from parental neglect. Staff at Adam’s Ottawa school called police because he often arrived at school with soiled diapers, smelling of urine, feces and mold. “Upon entering the premises officers found appalling living conditions with a stench so strong it was difficult to breathe,” a police report said. “Rotting garbage was all over the house with fecal and other unidentified litter spread over the walls and floors.” The officers charged Adam’s parents with failing to provide the necessities of life, and while the father was cooperative, the mother
assaulted the arresting officer. Adam was potentially going to return to the same home at the request of his case management agency, but police intervened and insisted it was not suitable for Adam to return to the same home. He was later placed in appropriate housing with approved public funding. The sixth recommendation in the report is that the ministry of community and social services should consult with the ministry of community safety and correction services, as well as police services, to promote establishing specific police units to deal with these types of situations – such as the one that exists in Ottawa. Other recommendations include creating a provincial inventory of crisis beds, developing an expanded reporting system, ensuring placement of young adults in longterm care homes is considered a last resort, and support diversion programs for adults with developmental disabilities who are charged with criminal offences. Dubé said Helena Jaczek, Minister of Community and Social Services, has committed to accepting and implementing all 60 recommendations.
Ombudsman of Ontario
The cover of the Ombudsman of Ontario’s report into situations involving adults with developmental disabilities was published on Aug. 24.
Pet Adoptions Veterinary Medical Association tells us that cat owners are far less likely than dog owners to take their pet to the veterinarian regularly. Regular veterinary care is essential for all pets, not just dogs. Visiting a vet can help keep your cat healthy and can help prevent costly emergency vet visits. Your vet can spot many illnesses early so you can treat your cat before it becomes too expensive or worse, too late to fix. Vaccination helps keeps cats safe from contagious disease. Having your cat spayed or neutered is the best way to help reduce the number of homeless pets in our community. And, sterilization keeps your cat healthier by lowering her chances of getting diseases, like some cancers and also helps end unwanted behaviour issues. Also your veterinarian is your go-to resource to prevent parasites like treat fleas, ticks, and worms. There are so many benefits to regular veterinary care. If you cat hasn’t been lately, why not celebrate National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day and take her?
MIkey (ID# A187619)
Not Just for the Dogs There are quite a few awareness “days” out there that you may not have heard of. There are the little-known and off-beat National Squirrel Appreciation Day and International Hug Your Cat Day; there is the mainstream and better-known Earth Day. There are also a dozen or so that we in animal welfare wish everyone knew about, such as Chip Your Pet Month and Spay Neuter Awareness Month — identification and sterilization being among the most pressing issues in the Ottawa Humane Society’s work.
P.S. If you haven’t yet signed up for this year’s Wiggle Waggle Walkathon or Run for the Animals, we hope you will. It is our biggest and most important event for the animals of the year and it’s a great day out. The animals depend on you and this year’s pledges are lagging.

Dixon joins national soccer team for World Cup qualifiers
Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
Jamar Dixon is hoping to help send Canada’s national men’s soccer team to Russia. The Orléans-raised soccer player, who signed with the Ottawa Fury FC earlier this summer, was named to Canada’s national
team squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers. The 2018 FIFA World Cup will be held in Russia, and include 32 teams from the 211 member associations from around the world that end up qualifying. The announcement, made on Aug. 25, named 23 players for the qualifiers coming up in San Pedro Sula, Honduras and Vancouver. Canada will face Honduras on Sept. 2 in Honduras, and then play El Salvador at Vancouver’s BC Place on Sept. 6. Either Canada, El Salvador or Honduras will advance after the qualifier. Canada is one of the 11 remaining countries competing for a spot at the 2018 World Cup. Each of the remaining nations were split into groups, with the top two nations moving on from the semifinals. Mexico, which was in Canada’s group, has already qualified – leaving just one spot up in the air for one of the three countries in their pool. If Canada advances, the team will then go to the final round of the World Cup qualifiers in 2017. Dixon, a 27-year-old who grew up in Convent Glen, got his first shot with the Canadian national team earlier this year, and was

hopeful to get more chances to play for his country. “It’s absolutely amazing,” said Dixon in an Ottawa Fury FC press release. “It’s a great achievement, especially when I think about all the hard work and perseverance that I needed to get to this level. The path of success is never straight, there is always ups and downs. I’m thankful to get this opportunity. It will be an amazing experience and I want to make the most out of it.” The Fury said he was expected to leave on Aug. 29 to join the national team.

Dandelion wine was just a fact of life at Mary’s house in Northcote
W
e had been picking dandelion greens for days. We had to be careful to just take the leaves, letting the roots stay anchored. That was so they would regrow. And only the most tender part of the plants, the new leafs, making it easier for Father to cull through them, picking out only what he considered perfect for the job at hand. Eventually, the shelves in the cellar would have bottles of dandelion wine sitting right next to Mother’s cucumber pickles and raspberry preserves. And if it wasn’t for Uncle Herby bringing bottles from Bronfman’s Distillery where he worked in Montreal (sometimes full of what was brewed there, and sometimes just empty bottles for Father), he would have had to use any jars Mother hadn’t already put down on the shelf in the cellar. So by the time the wine was bottled, you wouldn’t know if it had been made in
MARY COOK Memories our kitchen out at Northcote, or bought from a real store, if there was such a place. Certainly, I never knew Father to come home with a bottle of liqueur for which he would have to spend hard earned money! Dandelion wine, and homemade beer were just a fact of life at our house in Northcote. We put the newly picked leaves in one of Mother’s clothes hampers, and it would take Father a whole evening, to take each one out, examine it, and finding it suitable, put it in a big crock. He layered the leaves as if they were
tiny pieces of paper until the crock was almost full. We had a lot of dandelions on the farm! Then he would take the big preserving kettle, which had been simmering away on the Findlay Oval, and cover the leaves with the boiling water. Some would float to the top, so Father would anchor them with a dinner plate with a well scrubbed flat iron on top to hold everything down. Then the crock was moved to the bake table, where it sat for a few days, sending musty smells through the whole house, which I hated. Father never once looked
in the crock while the leaves were slowly fermenting. “Don’t want to disturb them,” he’d say. And then after he figured they had been sitting there long enough, he scrubbed his hands until they were red (Mother saw to that), then squeezed hands full of the leaves until they were almost dry, piled them on a tray, emptied the water out of the crock, and dumped the mess into the largest cooking pot Mother had in the house. The pot was put on the stove, and I have no idea where the moisture came from, but within minutes you could hear the soggy dandelions simmering. Three oranges and a lemon would have been sitting on the bake table for days, an extravagance reserved only for winemaking. Father cut them into thin slices and added them to the simmering pot, with a few good dashes of ginger out of a Rawleigh’s tin from the cupboard. I could see Mother flinch as Father
dumped a brown paper bag of sugar into the pot too. Then Father would go to his rocking chair, light his pipe, open the Ottawa Farm Journal, and wait. Finally, the pot was hauled to the bake table, and let cool right down until Father could add some yeast, which was bought to make bread and sticky buns. I knew Mother wasn’t at all pleased at all the money that went into Father’s dandelion wine. And there the crock would sit for days, while it fermented to Father’s liking. Often he would take a spoon, dip it into the crock and say, “By gar, that’s good let me tell you.” Finally, after what Mother said the whole house smelled like a brewery, Father strained it, bottled it, and it would be moved to the cellar. All the time Father was making his wine, I would wonder if there would be a repeat performance of the two times never to be forgotten over the dandelion wine.
Once, just sitting in the kitchen one night, minding our own business, we heard what sounded like gunfire coming from the depths of the house. Father knew immediately what had happened, and rushed outside and down into the cellar to retrieve the few bottles that hadn’t blown to bits. The other time, my brother Emerson decided to sneak a few sips, which turned into downing almost a whole bottle. Mother didn’t raise a hand to help him over his hangover and said she just knew he was going to turn into a complete alcoholic just like his Uncle Orville, but Father said, “That’ll make him into a man,” whatever that meant.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
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!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 A playful and generous spirit make you a favorite friend to have around, Aries. Many may be clamoring for your attention, and you do not know where to direct it first. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, uncertainty has you wondering about the direction in which your life may be going. It’s a time for reflection. Look to a parent or trusted advisor for guidance. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Romance may get in the way of logic this week, Gemini. This is sure to be exciting, but try to maintain your focus. Keep lines of communication with your significant other open. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, do your best to overhaul your finances. Some recent purchases might have made you vulnerable, and now is a great time to regain control. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, a sudden burst of creativity will inspire you and others in the days ahead. Keep up the great work you’re doing, and don’t be afraid to take chances. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You are given to behaving selflessly, Virgo. But this week you can still help others and take your needs into consideration. Ask for help if you need it.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, resist the urge to overindulge in food or beverages this week. Good times are ahead and you want to be able to enjoy them to the fullest. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you’re focused on furthering your career, but responsibilities at home must be weighed before making a final decision. Don’t give up; just reevaluate your timing. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, rather than dreaming of faraway places, make a plan to travel. Establish a savings account or vacation fund and begin making your travel goals happen. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, gifts might start coming your way and you don’t understand all the generosity. Accept what is offered and recognize that you deserve it. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 It’s easy to expect others to keep your pace when you have all of your ducks in a row, Aquarius. However, not everyone works on the same schedule that you do. Allow time to catch up. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, promising more than you can possibly deliver at this time will not win you any admirers. Others will appreciate your honesty. 0901
