Please register for further information at www.mattamyhomes.com
When You Buy A Mattamy Home, We Invite You To Go For A Walk.
We call it a Framewalk. Its an early opportunity to see your new home take shape. Its a walk with a purpose. It allows you to see the bones of the home and discover why things are done.
Youll get to see behind the walls, sort of an x-ray look at the attention to detail of the plumbing, wiring and duct work. These important mechanical functions are routed through the home for maximum ef ciency while minimizing intrusions into the living space.
Youll also nd comfort in knowing that we only use high quality construction materials such as kiln-dried lumber and PEX plumbing.
There are many things to see on a Framewalk and all of them will demonstrate the care we take with every step of the building process. Youll even see how the Architects Choice Options you selected are integrated into the home.
Were con dent that youll feel con dent after you join us for a Framewalk.

A coalition of charities andcommunity groups hasformed to push the OttawaUnited Way to change theway it hands out money.
Theyre concernedabout how our United Wayoperates. Theyre con-cerned that our UnitedWay is losing touch withthe community, said DickStewart, a spokespersonfor the Ottawa Communi-ty Action Coalition.
This fiscal year, theUnited Way launched a re-quest-for-proposal systemin which recipient groupsmust show measurableprogress toward goals theUnited Way has set.
As a result, many organ-izations received less mon-ey or no money at all.
One member of thecoalition, the Ottawa-Car-leton Association for Per-sons with DevelopmentalDisabilities (OCAPDD), saysthe only target the UnitedWay set that applies tothem helping disabled
people get jobs missesthe mark.
OCAPDD board of direc-tors president Bonnie Din-ning says when the UnitedWay set that goal, they did-nt understand that lessthan 10 per cent of herclients are able to main-tain regular employment.
OCAPDD supports peo-ple with developmentaldisabilities with housingand day programs.
United Way Ottawaused to fund part of theirtransportation program,which helps clients get to
activities or jobs. The charity was given
funding to phase outthat program this year andlost funding for their vol-
unteer program, said Din-ning.
The United Way standsby its new process and thatgoal.
The reason we pickedthat goal, and the reasonwe feel it is important, isbecause it meets the testthat we had of investingour dollars on behalf ofdonors where they areneeded the most andwhere they will have thegreatest impact, saidMichael Allen, United Way Ottawa president andCEO.
Organization losing touch with the community, its alleged Local coalition wants to change the way funds are handed out Groups say they got less money or none at all
Its not the way, United Way The United Wayhas a lot of powerbecause it holdsthe fundingdecisions for many,manyorganizations.DICK STEWART, SPOKESPERSON FOR THE OTTAWA COMMUNITYACTION COALITION

In the aftermath of 9-11,Muslim communities onall points of the politicalspectrum need to engageone another in dialogue,says Shahla Khan Salter,chair of Muslims for Pro-gressive Values Canada(MPVC).
Nine-eleven was thisbig wakeup call. It wasabout how our communi-ty has to change, she saidfrom her home in Ottawa.We have to control ourdestiny.
Like many others, Khan
Salter still feels emotionalrecalling Sept. 11, 2001.She remembers that herthree-year-old sonswitched on the televisionthat morning and everychannel broadcast thesame footage of the burn-ing buildings.
Prior to the attacks,many Muslims shied awayfrom controversial discus-sions on their religion,says Khan Salter. But inthe following months sherealized she couldnt re-main silent. So she found-
ed a Canadian off-shoot ofthe U.S.-based Muslims forProgressive Values (MPV).
The first chapter ofMPV started in the U.S. in2007 in response to the 9-11 attacks, she says.
They knew they could-nt watch this unjust ver-sion of Islam. It heightensthe ability of extremiststo cause chaos all over theworld, said Khan Salter.Muslims have to take re-sponsibility and take astand to deal with intoler-ance, sexism and homo-
phobia.Shes been surprised by
some responses from thecommunity, describinghow a conservative Mus-lim once approached her,asking how to reconcileIslam with homosexuali-ty.
Our community is sodiverse, we cant alwaysassume. We have to insiston respectful and politedialogue. It takes time fora community to changeand thats one thing Iveaccepted. AMEN JAFRI

I entered not knowingwhat to expect at all, andnow that I realize how bigof a festival it is and howinternational it is, I feel ho-noured and really excitedto be here, said Borish.
More than 2,000 filmsfrom around the worldwere submitted for thefive-day festival, but only
100 made it into the offi-cial competition. Two shortfilms produced in Ottawa
will be screened, includingBorishs Paper Man.
The amateur animator
spent more than a monthproducing his stop-motionanimation short in whichhe stars as a photographedperson in a photo framethat comes to life and wan-ders around a house. About300 cutouts and 700 photo-graphs were used in thefilm, which runs just un-der four minutes.
Chris Robinson, the fes-tivals artistic director, saidthe filmmakers make thefestival an appealingevent.
We have A-list anima-tors here who are just com-pletely down-to-earthpeople and they share withstudents, said Robinson.Its just a big dysfunction-al family.

A Tripoli military officialsaid yesterday that Moam-mar Gadhafi is corneredand the days before he iscaptured or killed are num-bered, but another seniordefence official contendedthat Libyas new rulers haveno idea where the fugitiveformer leader is.
The comments are thelatest in a series of conflict-ing statements on the mostpressing question stillhaunting the North Africannation where is Gadhafi?
The ousted leader, whoruled Libya for nearly 42years, hasnt been seen inpublic for months, and hasreleased only audio mes-sages trying to rally his sup-porters and lash out at his
opponents. He went intohiding after oppositionfighters swept into Tripolion Aug. 21. The formerrebels are still battlingregime loyalists in threeGadhafi strongholds; BaniWalid, Sabha and Sirte.
Hunting down Gadhafiwould help seal the newrulers hold on the country,and likely trigger the col-lapse of the remainingregime loyalists.
Anis Sharif, a spokesmanfor Tripolis military coun-cil, told The AssociatedPress that Gadhafi was stillin Libya and had beentracked using advancedtechnology and human in-telligence. Rebel forceshave taken up positions on
all sides of the fugitiveleaders presumed location,with none more than 60kilometres away, he said.
He cant get out, saidSharif, who added the for-mer rebels are preparing toeither detain him or killhim. We are just playinggames with him, he said.He said an operations roomhas been set up in Tripoli totry to track Gadhafis move-ments and co-ordinate thesearch.
Thousands of fightershave converged on areasoutside Bani Walid, some140 kilometres southeast ofTripoli, threatening to at-tack if residents dont sur-render by Saturday. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Are Gadhafisdays numbered?
Former rebels dont know where Gadhafi is: DeputyDefence Minister Ousted leader is not a NATO target Canisters are stored inside a warehouse with many other munitions at a
former Gadha military base in Abu Shweich, 120 kilometres west of Tripoli.
UNSECURED WEAPONS A THREATCrates of mortar shells situnguarded and emptyboxes for missiles to blowup tanks and bring downairplanes are strewn aboutarms depots around theLibyan capital.
Former rebels say theytook some ammunitionfor the fight againstMoammar Gadhafi, butU.S. officials and othershave expressed fearsLibyas weapons could fallinto the wrong hands.
The six-month civil war
that ended Gadhafis 42-year rule and sent him in-to hiding also threw openthe gates to his regimesextensive armouries.
The countrys new lead-ers have failed to securemany of the caches, mak-ing them free game forlooters, former rebel fight-ers or anyone with a truckto carry them away.
Since Gadhafis fall,American and UN officialshave warned that the fail-ure to control Libyas
weapons could destabilizethe whole of North Africa.
It remains unclear howmany weapons have beenuncovered since Gadhafi'sfall, said Peter Bouckaertof Human Rights Watch.
The problem is thatthe locals usually find outfirst and by the time we ar-rive and we can get someguards there, a lot of themost dangerous weaponshave already been takenaway, he said.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Finance Minister Jim Fla-herty is asking a Senatecommittee to look into theprice gap between Canadaand the United States.
In a letter to the Senatefinance committee releasedyesterday, Flaherty said heis irritated that the gap con-tinues to exist even thoughthe Canadian dollar hasbeen worth more than theU.S. currency for most ofthe year.
In fact, Flaherty pointsout that the Canadian cur-rency has been strengthen-ing over the past five years.The loonies strength haspresented challenges to en-trepreneurs, exporters andthe economy but Canadianconsumers arent getting
full payback in the form ofthe prices of goods sold inthis country, he says.
I share their irritation,
he writes.Bank of Montreal econo-
mist Douglas Porter said inApril that Canadians pay onaverage 20 per cent moreon many items.
Canadas retail industryhas often said it takesmonths to adjust to curren-cy fluctuations, due to thelead time required to im-port goods. They have alsosaid their U.S. counterpartshave several built-in advan-tages.
Flaherty has asked thecommittee to look into howprices are affected by thesize of the Canadian retailmarket, transportation andfreight costs, tariffs, real-es-tate costs and other factors.THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Dalai Lama warnsthat all religions including his own have faithful who carrythe seeds of destructiveemotions within them.
Speaking yesterday inMontreal, the Buddhistspiritual leader said a keyto promoting religiousharmony after 9-11 is tostop criticizing religionsbased on the actions of ahandful of mischievousfollowers.
He delivered his mes-sage at a conference ex-amining how religionscan foster peace in thepost-9-11 world.
Logically, if you criti-cize Islam due to a fewmischievous Muslims,then you have to criticizeall world religions, theDalai Lama told thepacked auditorium.
That, I think is totallywrong to create that kindof negative impression toone particular religion that is totally wrong.
He said everybody even himself has thepotential to developharmful feelings and itsthe job of religions to tryand reduce them.
Through awareness ...we try to minimize thesedestructive emotions andtry to increase these con-structive emotions, hesaid.THE CANADIAN PRESS

WEIRD NEWS
Being a nudistdoes have itsdrawbacksNudists in San Francisco might soonlose the freedom to bare it all atleast some of the time.
Walking around naked is legal, buta city supervisor concerned aboutpublic health and sanitationintroduced legislation Tuesday thatwould require nudists to putsomething under their bottoms ifthey take a seat in public.
Supervisor Scott Wieners propos-
al would also require nudists to coverup when they are in a restaurant.
Wiener represents the citysCastro District, where a group of nud-ists is known to gather and walkaround.
The San Francisco Chroniclereports that Wiener only wants to re-quire that nudists show basiccourtesy and decency to their fellowcitizens, not open up a debate on theappropriateness of public nudity.
Only in San Francisco, Capt.Greg Corrales told the newspaper.
Just walking around naked in SanFrancisco isnt against the law, unlessthe person is aroused. Then the con-duct can be considered lewd, whichis illegal, according to the San Fran-cisco Chronicle. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARENTINGWITHOUT THECHLOROFORM
When I was a kid, I could tellback-to-school time was herewhen we werent allowed toeat.
Can of pop? Thats forlunches. Yogurt? Lunches.
Bacon and eggs? Lunches. If Iremember correctly, all we were allowedat home was a box of baking soda and theoccasional Milk Bone.
I dont have any children, but havingexperienced my parents rearingmethods discipline through starvation
I believe I have the skills necessary to help you asyour child heads back to school. Heres what you needto know.Fashion: Childrens trends can be confusing, but its im-portant to remember that fashion is cyclical. In someeras, high school kids wear clothing so tight that theymight as well be naked. Other times, they wear clothingso loose any quick movements will render them naked.
They know what theyredoing. I have no ideawhats in now, but if it of-fends your sensibilities,pick it up. Your kid willlove it.Supplies: Once your kidshave all the hippest duds,youll want to get them thecoolest supplies. Nothingwas worse than owningplastic rulers patheticallydevoid of holographicdinosaurs, or a compassthat wasnt nearly sharpenough to stab the girl you
liked. Buy one of those $29.99 sets with the quadraticequation written on the back, and your kids could be ascool as I was, though somehow I doubt it. Rest: Getting kids to bed at a decent hour after a longsummer can have even the most patient parents reach-ing for the chloroform. Researchers say you shouldmake sure your child gets eight hours of sleep more ifyou dont like them.Dont forget to care: As the school year moves on, itsimperative you pretend you still care about your kids.After all, these are the same children that will one daybe sending you to a home.
Showing your love may prove difficult. If you drivethem to school, they will deny they have parents byleaping from the vehicle while its in motion,sometimes through a closed window. And if you askwhat happened at school today, they will say, Nothin,even if their math teacher unexpectedly burst intoflames.
Despite this, support whatever they do. If they lie tothe teacher, tell them they have a life as an MP ahead; ifthey dont show up at all, senator.
And thats the only proper way to raise your children.But remember, all these guidelines will be useless if youdont forget one important rule. You MUST feed yourchildren, lunches be damned. A Milk Bone will cleantheir teeth, too.

Releasing the stigmaIrish rockers hoping to inspire change starting right here in Ottawa Concert aimed at raising awareness about mental illness and suicide prevention
Irish rockbandFriends ofEmmet aretrying tochange theworld, one
concert, one download orone YouTube view at atime.
They recently releasedtheir single Coming Apartwith all of the proceeds go-ing to the Collateral Dam-age Project, a series ofportraits, websites and ex-hibitions of people whohave had loved ones die bysuicide.
The song itself was in-spired by a documentaryfrontman Mark Leddy sawcalled The Bridge. The filmfeatured the story of KevinHines, who had tried tocommit suicide by jump-ing off the Golden GateBridge only to survive.
Friends of Emmet bassplayer Keith Geraghty saysthe bands hope is to try tochange the way peopleview mental illness.
I would like to thinkthat we have the tools tobe able to release the stig-ma of suicide and mentalhealth, he says. The waywe thought we could dothat is through this song.
When the band finishedrecording Coming Apart,
BACKSTAGE
PASSJEN TRAPLINMETRO OTTAWA
they reached out to Hines,who agreed to appear inthe music video. Hes nowa good friend of the band.
However, the song isntthe only way in which Ger-aghty is trying to inspirechange. He is intensely ac-tive in suicide preventionin his homeland of Ire-land, unfortunately be-cause its a subject hesfamiliar with.
I had a suicide in thefamily and we didnt real-ize it was coming, ex-plains Geraghty. And,secondly, I attempted sui-cide myself so I know,from both angles, what its
like to be in that dark holeand not be able to see thelight.
After the show in Ot-tawa, the band will head
back to Dublin with KevinHines to take part in ahuge campaign for suicideprevention.
A change has to be
made, Geraghty says. Ifyou suffer from high bloodpressure or cholesterolproblems, you get treat-ment. But if you bring upthe subject of mentalhealth and say youre onmedication, people thinkyoure weird or yourestrange.
Weve just got to re-lease the stigma.
All of the proceeds ofthis event will go to theCollateral Damage Project,the Arctic Children &Youth Foundation and tosupport LivingWorksSafeTALK and ASIST train-ing here in Ottawa.
Irish band Friends of Emmet will perform at Centrepointe Theatre on Saturday night.

A SPECIAL FEATURE DEVOTED TO LOVE,SEX & RELATIONSHIPS IN TODAYS WORLD.
ONLY IN METRO SEPTEMBER 13
PRESENTED BY:
The little horrormovie that could
Creature not exactly a generic horror film, saysCanadian actor Dillon Casey Movie released tomorrow
How a kid from Oakville,Ont., ended up in theLouisiana swamps filminga gloriously trashy mon-ster movie is a story in it-self, but such is the legacyof Canadian actor andsometimes writer and di-rector Dillon Casey.
Casey, already a veteranTV performer from suchglossy shows as Being Eri-ca and The Vampire Di-aries, stars as one of theslew of youthful anti-he-roes who come face to facewith a lethal reptilianmonster in Creature, anifty new low budgetshocker co-starring genre
icon Sid Haig, openingacross North America thisFriday.
The first thing I no-ticed when I read thescript was the name (ofproducer) Sid Sheinberg,says Casey, back in Toron-to for his recurring role inthe CTV hit series Nikita.
I mean, hes a legend he was the head of Uni-versal pictures. He was be-hind Jaws.
Sheinbergs name nodoubt pushed writer/direc-tor Fred Andrews littlehorror movie that couldinto the higher profile re-lease its getting this week,but outside of the pedi-gree, Creature is an eccentric, interesting, un-
pretentious and ofteneerie thriller.
(Creature) looks like ageneric horror film on thesurface, notes the actor.
But there are manytwists and turns and unex-pected elements that ele-vate it.
Casey was bit by the act-ing bug when studying atthe University of Torontoand found he had thechops and the looks to make a living pretend-ing to be other people. Butoriginally, his role in Crea-ture called for a very differ-ent face.
My character was fat,nerdy and I really didntthink I had a chance of get-ting it, he says.
But then I got the callthat I did. I was surprised.Later on the set, Fred saidthat the reason I got theroll was that I nailed it onthe call back.
I kept quiet at first butI eventually told Fred that Ididnt actually get broughtin for a call back. So really he probably cast thewrong guy for the role bymistake!

The Oscar goes to... Eddie Yes, butEddie Murphy is going tobe hosting the Oscars. But
is it a good choice or a dis-
aster waiting to happen?
YES Murphy is cool andconfident live. If you havenever seen his stand-upspecial Delirious or hisskits on Saturday NightLive, go to YouTube imme-diately.
BUT You cant f-ing swearon live TV.
YES Hes a part of moviehistory. Beverly Hills Cop,48 Hours, The NuttyProfessor and Shrek are allclassics.
BUT Vampire in Brooklyn,Metro, Doctor Dolittle,Holy Man, Life, DoctorDolittle 2, Showtime, TheAdventures of Pluto Nash, ISpy, Daddy Day Care, TheHaunted Mansion, Norbit,Meet Dave, Imagine That.
YES Murphy was nominat-ed for a Best SupportingActor Oscar in 2006, forDreamgirls
BUT He walked out of theshow after Alan Arkin wonfor Little Miss Sunshine.Maybe he just wantedsome ice cream?
Eddie Murphy has beentapped to host the 84thAnnual Academy Awards,to be broadcast next year,according to the Academyof Motion Picture Arts andSciences.
Eddie is a comedic ge-nius, one of the great-est and mostinfluential live per-formers ever, saidfilm directorBrett Ratner,whos producingthe show andhelmed Mur-phys latest,Tower Heist.
With his loveof movies, histo-ry of crafting un-forgettablecharacters and hisiconic performances especially onstage I know he will bring anexcitement, spon-taneity and tremen-dous heart to theshow Don and Iwant to produce inFebruary.
I am enor-mously honoured
to join the great list of pastAcademy Award hostsfrom Hope and Carson toCrystal, Martin and Gold-berg,
among others, said Mur-phy, 50.
Im looking forward toworking with Brett andDon on creating a show
that is enjoyable forboth the fans at
home and forthe audience
at the KodakTheatre as
we allcome to-getherto cele-brateandrecog-nizethegreatfilm
contribu-tions and
collabora-tions from
the past year.The
move isthoughtto be aneffort toinject a lit-tle hu-mour
back into the event afterlast years hosts AnneHathaway and James Fran-co were considered flops.
In a bland performance,which the media describedas all around awful,the pair bouncedthrough a raft ofskits and mon-tages thatmany criticsand fans foundmore longthan laughable.
Chosen to at-tract a youngeraudience,Hath-
away and Franco lackedwhat some described asonscreen chemistry.
With a similarly lacklus-tre showing from SteveMartin and Alec Baldwinin 2010, organizers arebanking on Murphy to re-store the golden age ofOscar nights, when big-draws such as WhoopiGoldberg and Billy Crys-tal effortlessly broughtthe house down among
even the most demand-ing of crowds.
Murphy was nominat-ed for a Best Support-
ing Actor Oscarfor Dream-girls in2006.
He wassaid to havewalked outof the showafter losingto LittleMiss Sun-shine starAlan Arkin.

To hell and back with Royce From the first moment De-troit rapper Royce da 5'9met Eminem a skinnywhite kid pushing mix-tapes at an Usher gig in1997 he saw the poten-tial in him.
Royce says they've bothevolved in the 14 yearsthat have passed. The pairhad a falling out and feud-ed for a while, but now areso tight they put out a suc-cessful joint album, Hell:The Sequel, over the sum-mer as Bad Meets Evil. Andthe iconic rapper has givenRoyce plenty of grown-upadvice as his successgrows, with his recently re-leased third studio album,Success Is Certain.
The 34-year-old Roycetalked about their relation-ship, his own growingpains and his bond with
his 13-year-old son in a re-cent interview.How did you sort out your
feud with Eminem?
It kind of sorted itselfout. A lot things transpire,time heals everything. It wasnt anything that he
did to me or anything that I did to him ... We justkind of grew apart at that moment. There waslot going on, a lot of mon-ey got thrown into themiddle, a lot of other peo-ple involved. I think oncewe lost Proof (the rapperwas killed in 2006), theD12 guys were real instru-mental in kind of bringingus back together. They al-ways knew how close wewere. And once I squashedthe beef with them, theywere real verbal with go-ing to him and sayingLook, were not beefingwith Royce no more,theres not a problem any-more.
Your last album, Death Is
Certain was a very dark al-
bum. What are you rapping
about now?
With the Death Is Cer-tain album, I spoke about alot of the mistakes I wasmaking, like the darkcloud that I felt was hover-ing over my head. Failure,negativity, beef, and thisalbum is you know, look-ing back ... and reflectingon that; speaking of tri-umph, overcoming adver-sity, leaping over hurdles. Istill try to maintain thedark feel sonically, butcontent-wise, I just wantedto make it a little bitbrighter.Does your son ever inuence
your music?
I try not to let it influ-ence my music. I try to livea double life, as horrible asthat sounds. I try not to beRoyce da 59 in my home;I try to just be Ryan Mont-gomery. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Outside, hurricane strengthdownpours threaten to ruinthe start of fashion weekand seven days worth ofcarefully planned outfits bywomen all over the city. Butwithin the dry and per-fume-scented confines ofAmericas most mass mar-ket department store, shop-pers are aglow after therarest of fashion sightings.
Karl Lagerfeld, the iconiccreative director of Chanel inside of Macys.
He just doesnt do per-sonal appearances at de-partment stores. I was theCEO of Neiman Marcus forsix years and Karl was thehardest designer to attract.So for us to be able to at-tract him is very big, says
Terry J. Lundgren, MacysCEO, who actually scored adouble coup (Vogue editorAnna Wintour is in thehouse as well).
Lagerfeld came to townto launch his new afford-able ready-to-wear collabo-ration with the chain, and
is all good humour whenwe sit down in an executivesuite on the 13th floor.
Its been a few years sinceyour H&M collection. Whatinspired you to do this newaordable line?I like to do the opposite of

So the peoplewho can buy the expensivecan buy the inexpensivetoo. The people who canbuy the inexpensive be-cause I never say cheap maybe they cannot buy theexpensive. But they can buya lipstick or nail polishfrom Chanel. So even forChanel, its not a bad thing.The more my name isaround, the better it is foreverybody. I approach thismore
