Councillor looking to eliminate left turns, create right-only lane for northbound drivers Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - Manotick’s biggest intersection could be facing a major turning point if Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt gets his way.

At a public meeting on March 7, Moffatt floated the idea of fixing congested northbound traffic through the intersection of Manotick Main Street and Bridge Street by restricting left-hand turns and creating a designated rightturn lane onto Bridge.

By a show of hands, the vast majority of about 115 residents who attended the meeting supported the change, which Moffatt said would be an inexpensive way to make the intersection safer and more efficient.

Currently drivers going north on Manotick Main have two lanes to get through the intersection.

The left lane can get backed up if someone wants to turn onto Maple Avenue, and the right lane gets backed up when someone going straight through is in front of a line of cars waiting to turn onto Bridge. More often than not, frustrated drivers cut through Clapp Lane to turn onto Bridge further east instead of waiting for the light to change.

Moffatt said those problems

could be solved if left-hand turns are eliminated northbound on Manotick Main entirely, and the two lanes are split evenly between through traffic on the left and right turns on the right.

He said restricting left turns shouldn’t impact very many residents; peak hour turns are about 10 cars an hour, he said, and during off-peak hours it’s more like two.

“If you’re turning left you’re turning to go back somewhere, because that’s what the road does,” he told the crowd. “You could turn on Eastman, Beaverwood – you have options before you get there.” Moffatt said he has already discussed the feasibility of the changes with staff, and now they need to decide how to proceed. They may take a phased approach.

“I know (staff) support restricting the left hand lane, and that may solve it all,” Moffatt said. “This is easy to do, so let’s do this and see how this works.”

The public meeting at the Manotick arena was an update on several developments and ongoing projects in the village.

Madeline Brown and Mackenzie Mavraganis find a pony to dance with at Metcalfe Public School’s ‘Wild West’ dance-a-thon fundraiser on March 7.

Dance-a-thon twirls Metcalfe school closer to new playground Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - If kids dancing in the Metcalfe Public School gym seemed happy, it could be because they’re more than $4,000 closer to a new playground.

Students at the school on 8th Line Road have been fundraising since late 2011 to raise about $30,000 for a new primary play structure on the school property.

On Thursday, March 7 students wore their best wild west outfits for a fundraising dance-a-thon in the gym.

Youngsters in black and white cowboy hats ran around on hobby horses or chased cowprint balloons while a DJ blasted country and classic rock tunes.

The student body raised about $4,200 after expenses, which falls shorts of previous fundraising years but will still allow construction to begin on the play structure this summer.

“We were looking for more but we’re happy with that,” said parent volunteer Kim Sheldrick, who has been leading the playground planning process.

Between grants from the city, school board and school council the playground account already has about $27,000, Sheldrick said.

Sheldrick’s son Michael is in Grade 8 at the school, so her children won’t directly benefit from the new structure geared to the primary grades between JK and Grade 2.

But she said the whole community benefits when structures like these are installed. “The community can use it after hours,” she said.

The new playground will likely have a slide, playhouse area and bridge.

Snowsuit fund spreads to Parliament Hill Metcalfe family still shipping donations to Nunavut Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - A collection of new and gently used snowsuits has spread from rural south Ottawa all the way to Parliament Hill.

Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre and health minister Leona Aglukkaq are now both accepting donations for the Nun-

territory, as well as more than 1,000 hats, scarves and pairs of mitts. With the help of the RCMP, the clothing has been distributed to needy communities in Kimmirut, Sanikiluaq, Hall Beach, Igloolik, Kugluktuk and Iqaluit. On Feb. 26, Scrivens and Kit MacKinnon, who offered a donation space in her Foodland store in Greely, visited Parliament Hill to see what Poilievre and Aglukkaq had collected. “I am honoured to lend a helping hand for this great cause,� Poilievre said in a statement. “It is good to see that both our government and our local communities are committed to improving and strengthening the lives of those in our northern communities.�

These donations will be flown to Nunavut with the aid of Canadian North airline.

Scrivens will continue collecting donations into April to take advantage of spring cleaning. “In August I wore a winter coat up there,� she said. “You can always donate.�

avut Snowsuit Fund, which began in the Greely-Metcalfe area after a mother and son witnessed the impoverished conditions of many children living in the northern territory.

Christopher Scrivens, a 21-year-old pilot from Metcalfe, had been working for Air Nunavut and flew through many of Nunavut’s outlying communities over the course of his 10 months on the job. When his mother, Patti-Anne Scrivens, came to visit him last year, he asked her to bring warm clothing for local children. From there, the pair devised a larger plan to collect warm essentials for these communities from their home in south Ottawa.

Donation bins were set up at the Greely Foodland, the Scotiabank in Findlay Creek, at the Larga Baffin rest home in Westboro, and through the Ottawa police.

So far the campaign has sent 11 shipments of snowsuits, jackets and ski pants totaling more than 550 clothing items to the northern

EMC news - Ottawa marked the launch of its plan for making the city more liveable for seniors by announcing it is now part of the World Health Organization’s network of age-friendly cities.

The global designation reaffirms the intent of the city’s older adult plan: to ensure the city’s services and infrastructure contribute to healthy aging and a good quality of life for seniors, Mayor Jim Watson said. “This is a pivotal moment for our city as we move towards a new way of providing services,�

Watson said during the March 6 launch event held at the Council on Aging of Ottawa’s headquarters in the Diocesan Centre in Alta Vista.

In the next 20 years, the number of seniors in Ottawa will double, Watson said.

For the first time ever there will be more seniors living in the city than children under the age of five.

Sometimes it’s hard to grasp the impact of that, Watson said, so he offered an example.

The first time he served as mayor from 1997 to 2000, Watson said he used to get around three or four requests each year to send

It means the city will have to do things a little differently to serve its aging population.

The city’s older adult plan is a framework to look at how the city can “empower and support� its older residents, Watson said.

From lengthening the walk time on pedestrian signals to putting out more yellow boxes of grit for residents to use on sidewalks, there many small and large ways the city can better support seniors, said Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, chairman of the city’s community and protective services committee.

Taylor also highlighted a new city initiative – the Older Adult Activity Guide, which is published on ottawa.ca and in hard copy.

It’s a compendium of all recreational services and programs the city offers for older residents and it’s something people asked for during consultations on the older adult plan, Taylor said.

Wrestling trio looking for community support this April South Carleton students need funding for Saskatoon competition Emma Jackson and Sydney Steele emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - Three South Carleton athletes stand a fighting chance to become national champions this April – but only with the community’s support.

Liam Crockett, Claire Lizotte and Andrea Pretty, all Grade 10 students at South Carleton High School, are top wrestlers in their age and weight classes. On top of going to OFFSA this March, in February they won provincial gold and silver medals and a chance to attend the Juvenile/ Cadet National Wrestling Championship in Saskatoon this April.

But without sponsors and funding there’s little chance of getting them there.

Claire’s mother Janice Lizotte, said it will cost about $6,000 to get the three wrestlers to the tournament. While the families will do their best to find the money, the non-profit National Capital Wrestling Club the wrestlers represent can’t offer much support.

“This year, the expenses involved are greater given the location in Saskatoon, which is quite expensive in terms

of travel costs from Ottawa,” said club president Dean Sherratt in a letter to potential sponsors. In the end, it will come down to community and business sponsors to get the athletes in the ring April 4 to 7.

“Any financial assistance provided to these outstanding men and women will be greatly appreciated and publicly acknowledged by the club,” Sherratt said.

Lizotte said supporting the wrestlers also supports the club, which has been a great resource for the three wrestlers.

“It’s just run by people who love the sport, and it rubs off on the kids,” Lizotte said. “They get that dedication, too.”

The trio has been unfailingly successful this season.

While it’s technically an individual sport – one wrestler taking down another – the support team they’ve found since joining the National Capital Wrestling Club this season has been a huge boost, Claire said – especially in the wake of Bill 115 and extracurricular cuts at school.

“The club is a lot like a family,” she said. “We’re all friends and we’re really supportive of each other.”

BIG DREAMS

Andrea and Claire have been wrestling since the fall of Grade 9, while Liam only started several months ago.

And yet they’re already going to national competitions, placing in the top 10 in OFFSA matches and bringing home gold and silver medals.

This spring, their hope is

to just get a chance to show Canada what they’ve got.

“My goal is to do my best and give 120 per cent,” Claire said. “That way if I lose I’ll still be happy knowing I did everything I could to win and then if I actually do win it will be that much better.”

The competition will be tough – much tougher than OFFSA – but worth the experience to wrestle with other athletes of their calibre.

“The competition will be much more difficult because everyone has deserved to qualify and they’re all really dedicated,” Claire added.

Even if they don’t make it onto the podium, Liam said the team will still consider the trip a success.

“Even if you had a bad match everyone would still tell (say) you did a good job,” Liam said. “People at the club are great supporters and motivators.”

While the athletes are just getting started in their wrestling careers, all three of them said they were upset to hear that wrestling will likely be taken out of the Olympic Games in 2020.

The 2020 Summer Olympics would have been their peak year for competing in the Olympics if they chose to pursue that path, Andrea said.

“I hadn’t really thought about Olympics yet,” Andrea said, adding that their collective goal is to make it to the Pan Am Games in 2015.

Those games will be held in Toronto, which is much more accessible than Saskatoon or an international destination.

To sponsor the team or donate to their trip, contact rhondapretty@hotmail.com.

Moffatt seeks home for $2,700 raise

Coun. Scott Moffatt

very much,” he said.

About 60 suggestions have come into Moffatt’s office so far. One gentleman suggested somewhat facetiously that Moffatt could just give it all to him. A handful of others have encouraged the councillor to keep the raise they say he deserves.

The majority of the suggestions have focused on supporting community projects, initiatives and charities.

The biggest problem, Moffatt said, is choosing a project or charity that would benefit all of the communities in his far-reaching rural ward, which includes Burritt’s Rapids in the far south, Manotick, Kars and North Gower to the east and Richmond, Munster and several other hamlets in the west end.

“You look at ROSSS (Rural Ottawa South Support Services): there’s a group that provides transportation to my entire ward,” he said. “Or there are food banks across the communities and they’re fur-

ther reaching than just in that community.”

Moffatt has already politely refused a few calls to support specific village events, like the one he received from Manotick Village Community Association president Klaus Beltzner.

Beltzner said funneling the extra cash into community events would offset a potential cap in councillor donations currently under review at the city.

“There are other ways my office can support events aside from a straight cash donation,” Moffatt replied to him in an email, suggesting that facility rentals wouldn’t count as donations, and could be used to support events in light of a donations cap.

The raise could also be split between a number of groups.

“A lot of people could use a help. Not everyone’s looking for $1,000. For some organizations $200 is a pretty strong donation.”

Suggestions and feedback can be sent to scott.moffatt@ ottawa.ca.

EMC news - Scott Moffatt is asking residents to help him give his money away.

The Rideau-Goulbourn councillor was one of at least two city councillors who opposed a small cost of living adjustment on his salary this February, on the grounds that he campaigned he wouldn’t give himself a raise.

Now, he’s asking his constituents to suggest ways to give away the approximately $900 extra he’ll receive this year and another $1,800 he’ll get next year.

While Bay Coun. Mark Taylor said during last month’s council meeting that he would write a cheque back to the city for the difference, Moffatt said he thinks the money would be better off going to a charity or project that serves the RideauGoulbourn ward.

“I’m curious what people think either way,” he said.

“There’s no harm in asking (residents’) opinions on it.”

Moffatt said he is refusing the raise because of a comment he made during a North Gower debate on the 2010 campaign trail. A resident asked the five candidates if they would vote to give themselves higher salaries.

“My response was that I would be getting paid three times what I (was then) so I’m not too concerned about getting a raise,” Moffatt said.

“I was worried about getting elected, not about a salary I didn’t have yet.”

That remark was a promise, Moffatt said.

“It’s something I said and if I don’t stick to my word on things my word isn’t worth

ATV ride nets $44,500 for prostate cancer Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - Canada’s first ATV Ride for Dad kicked fundraising into high gear in early March, bringing in $44,450 for prostate cancer research and support.

The Nation Valley ATV Club based in Winchester led 256 riders on the 100-kilometre trail on Saturday, March 2, attracting riders from across the province and raising more than four times their goal.

“Our original goal was $10,000 total,” said club vice president Mike Chicoine. “It was far beyond our expectations.”

He said the $26,000 raised in rider pledges took them above and beyond what they expected, and combined with $4,400 from the silent auction,

$7,500 from registration fees and a $5,000 matched donation from Scotiabank the total amount was staggering.

Riders came from Niagara Falls, Hamilton, Barrie and across the Ottawa valley to participate in the event.

The riders started the event at the Mountain Township Agricultural Hall in South Mountain and enjoyed approximately 100 km of groomed winter trails between Winchester and Kemptville, stopping along the way at two warming fires and a hot lunch. Returning to the hall, riders were served dinner and raised $4,415 with a silent auction. Local businesses supported the event with silent auction items and prizes for the riders.

“At the end of the day it was the riders, their friends, family and co-workers that made the

biggest contribution raising a total of $26,041.50 in pledges for the Ride for Dad charity,” Chicoine said.

He said he hopes the event’s success will encourage other clubs to plan their own rides.

“The support is there from the community and the riders,” he said. “All it takes is some people to organize it and the event kind of takes on a life of its own.”

The second annual Nation Valley Chapter ATV Ride for Dad is already scheduled for March 1, 2014. Chicoine hopes the next ride will be bigger and better. They want to bring in 300 riders and extend their fundraising challenge beyond Ontario Federation of ATV chapter members.

“We want to just expand the competitive nature of it with other clubs,” he said.

We all need to heed flood warning

A

fter a winter of significant snowfall, everyone needs to take extra care around the waterways of the capital region this spring.

According to the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, the snowpack in the area is at the second-highest level recorded since measurements began in 1974, posing a significant risk to low-lying areas in the watershed. If we get significant rainfall this spring, that will only increase the flooding risk.

The conservation authority indicates a flood risk is not imminent, but the conditions are ripe for there to be a significant threat as temperatures rise.

Residents living in traditionally flood-prone areas are advised to watch for flood warnings that could be potentially issued by the conservation authority.

This flood risk is borne not just by those who live near rivers and lakes in the area, but also by those who enjoy spending recreational time in city parks and other riverside areas. Especially at risk are children and pets, who could easily stray too close to high water and be pulled under by swift currents. This means parents need to explain the dangers to their children and keep them away from moving water. Dog owners likewise should keep their pets on a leash whenever they are near rivers

or ponds.

Children and pets are also prone to venturing out on the rapidly thinning ice. Recently the Ottawa Drowning Prevention Coalition warned about the risks of thin ice, reminding residents that “one can never tell the true depth or the thickness of the ice by the colour on the surface.� The best advice is to simply stay off the ice.

Emergency services responded to more than 75 ice and waterway related calls last spring, and two people drowned after falling through the ice, according to the coalition. With the increased flooding risk this spring, these numbers will only increase if people fail to remain wary of the dangers.

These tragedies are something no one wants to experience and it falls to all of us to stay safe near waterways this spring. Several authorities have made clear the risks presented by high river levels and thinning ice, it is now our responsibility to ensure everyone heeds those warnings.

The last thing a parent, sibling, friend or pet owner wants to do is lose a loved one. Stay aware of the risks, heed the warnings and stay away from area rivers, ponds and lakes until the threat has passed.

Examining the sad decline of the Canadian snowbird

T

here are people in this town who used to love the snow and the cold and don’t love it so much any more.

It used to be that they could never get enough of it. They would look forward to skating and skiing and frolicking outdoors, coming inside only rarely to change toques and eat some soup.

Going south in the winter was for sissies, these winter-lovers would say. Canada is winter, they would say, after Gilles Vigneault, and a true Canadian would never escape it.

Spring was so much better if you’d endured all of winter. When spring came, you’d earned it. Not so, if you spent some of the winter months on beaches in southern climes.

And then there was all that hassle about airline security and customs and lineups at the border. Why would you want to go through all that?

Then, if you did, you’d just be another in the legion of snowbirds, guys with no tans wearing Bermuda shorts and lining up for dinner in Florida restaurants at five in the afternoon, hanging out with a whole bunch of people from Toronto at the Blue Jays spring training ballpark talking about bargain motels.

That’s the thing about going south. You

Funny Town become a stereotype. On top of that, it costs a lot of money to be a stereotype. Why would anybody want to do that?

It’s difficult to answer the question, except to say that for all of us, or at least some of us, eventually the cold wears us down. Not just the cold, but the early darkness and the lack of sunshine during the day.

This being the modern age, there is a name for it — seasonal affective disorder (SAD) defined by the U.S. National Library of Medicine as “a kind of depression that occurs at a certain time of the year, usually in the winter.�

The fact that there is a recognized disorder lends a kind of respectability to not liking cold and wanting to go somewhere where it isn’t.

Saying “I have to deal with my disorder� carries a lot more weight than saying “I have to fly south and go hit some golf balls and shop at factory outlets.�

Furthermore, being in possession of a disorder brings with it a certain persuasiveness: while some close friends or relatives might be inclined to scoff at your stated need for warmth and sunshine, they will be a bit frightened that, should you be talked into sticking around, you might give the disorder to them.

So off you go then, with your disorder and hardly any guilt feelings at all. The only proviso is that you had better be “cured� by the time you get back. It wouldn’t do to be grumping around just like you were before, only with a suntan.

You should be warned, before you set off, that you may encounter other types of disorders on your travels. Frozen Foot, Or Worse, Disorder, for example. That’s one that frequently afflicts Canadians, who are so determined to enjoy the warm ocean that they spend hours standing in it, even when it’s freezing cold. The inability to admit that it the ocean is freezing cold stems from the cost of getting to it and a thrifty Canadian’s need to get his money’s worth.

Manotick News EMC - Thursday, March 14, 2013

An extremely common travel disorder, although not publicized much, is called Interstate affective disorder (IAD) which punishes those who travel by car. Those afflicted with IAD lose their ability to recognize whether they are in the restaurant they were in yesterday, the one they are in right now or the one they will be in tomorrow. They also lose the ability to distinguish one U.S. state from another, coming to believe that the entire nation consists of groupings of chain restaurants, hotels and gas stations scattered around an interstate interchange.

Sad, is what it is.

Accessibility renos to close museum emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - The Osgoode Township Museum will be closed for a month as it undergoes renovations this spring.

The museum and historical society located in Vernon will close after its St. Patrick’s Day festivities on March 16, and won’t open again until the middle of April.

The renovations are part of a one-time capital grant from the city of Ottawa to make the building more accessible.

“We are reconfiguring our washrooms to make them more wheelchair accessible,” said museum curator Robin Cushnie.

“Currently they are not accessible, not to the current standards anyway. “ A lip on the back door entrance will also be lowered to allow wheelchair access and a sidewalk will

be built between the main building and the barn.

“The walkway to the barn is sort of a safety issue as well, the ground is a little uneven,” Cushnie said. “It’s also (helpful) for interpretation because it links the two buildings together.”

The barn holds the museum’s agriculture exhibits and artifacts like antique tractors and farm equipment.

Cushnie said the renovations will cost about $50,000, most of which will be covered by the city, which owns the building.

The museum will cover anything over that amount.

For those who want to squeeze in some extra museum time before it closes, the museum will host several kids’ programs during the March break, and a St. Patrick’s Day crafternoon and adult Ukrainian egg painting class on March 16.

Ottawa Scout troops gather at the Walter Baker Sports Centre in Barrhaven to compete in this year’s Scouting Cub car rally on March 2. Scouts who participated built their own wooden cars and raced them down a wooden racetrack.

New Piperville name a nod to 8th Line history Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

R0011951215

All-you-can-eat dinner buffet: $19.99

All guests must be 19 years of age or older with valid gov’t issued photo ID to enter the SLOTS & Dining Room; everyone 19-25 will be required to show a second piece of non-photo ID.

EMC news - Ninth Line Road will now be known as Thunder Road and part of Eighth Line Road will be called Piperville Road.

The city’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee approved the changes on March 7.

On the suggestion of the local community association, city staff initially suggested des Sources/Sources for Eighth Line Road and Optimistes for Ninth Line Road. Area residents didn’t like those ideas, so they came up with 25 alternatives.

Piperville was suggested by residents because it has historical meaning to the area. Piperville Station – part of the historic New York Central Railway system that linked Ottawa to the big apple until the 1950s – was once located on that road. The name received 52 votes, while the second choice for Eighth Line Road received 11 votes.

Piperville was chosen from 10 names suggested by residents that met the city’s road name criteria.

Residents also submitted the name Piperville as one of 15 suggestions for Ninth Line

Road, but it was chosen for Eighth Line instead because it had a historical connection to that location. After a second round of votes, Thunder Road received 46 votes and the second choice, Satellite Road, received 21 votes.

The change won’t take effect until six months after council gives it the final nod in order to give time for property owners on those streets to change their mailing addresses. The cost to change the street signs is about $2,000 for each road.

The two new monikers are part of the city’s effort to reduce confusion over the amount of roads named in numbered series. There are two “Third Line roads,” one spelled out and one identified numerically (3rd Line Road). The same goes for numbers all the way up to Ninth Line Road … and there are actually three Second Line roads in Ottawa (one is spelled numerically).

Fixing the Second Line Road anomaly is next on the city’s list – naming suggestions have already gone out to the affected communities in Kanata North and West Carleton-March.

Staff initially suggested calling it Des Adams Road, but residents didn’t prefer it and came

up with 11 other ideas.

A total of eight roads will need to be renamed to get rid of duplicates.

OTHER NAMES SUGGESTED FOR NINTH LINE ROAD:

• Bog • Cathartic • Coffee Pot • Dilligaf • Hobbit • Inkerman Toll’s • Leda • Peaceful Retreat • Neighbours • Philip Ilott • Tourbiere • Winding Stream City staff decided it would cause the least amount of disruption to keep the names of the numbered lines that run northsouth are already grouped sequentially and uninterrupted by roads with other names. And at least in the cases of 8th and 9th Line roads, those streets have more properties along them than their Eighth and Ninth Line counterparts, so leaving them would inconvenience fewer people.

City staff are in the process

of reviewing the criteria for both public and private roads and a report will be brought to city committees in May. West Carleton-March Coun.

Eli El-Chantiry was glad to hear it. He called the road renaming process “painful.”

“It’s a flawed system,” he said.

Osgoode Coun.

Doug Thompson agreed, saying that road renamings are second only to the construction of new landfills in terms of the emotion the inspire in residents.

“People do associate with road names… it’s very close to their hearts,” Thompson said.

Anyone can put forward any name for commemoration and it must be considered by the city, El-Chantiry said. The suggestions often don’t relate to the local area or its history, and people can be commemorated by having a road named after them when they are alive, which is not a best practice for commemorative naming. Limiting road names to commemorate the deceased was one of the suggestions in the city’s new arts, heritage and culture plan last year.

The staff report in May will also identify ways to streamline the system of fixing the 77 remaining duplicate road names.

City to crack down on derelict properties Laura Mueller

Mayor Jim Watson and Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury discuss changes to how the city deals with derelict properties in front of two examples in Vanier: 84 and 86 Beechwood Ave., owned by the Claude Lauzon Group. mash of posters,” Watson said.

If the work isn’t done in the required amount of time, the city will send in a contractor do the work and add the cost to the owner’s property tax bill.

Watson said the city does that “on a regular basis. According to city staff, the city has invoiced the owners of six derelict properties a total of

$3,886 so far this year, but the city doesn’t track whether those properties were vacant or occupied. The city contracted $130,330 in repairs for 85 properties last year.

“These are not unreasonable demands. It’s just common sense for any property owners,” the mayor said. “Show some pride in your city and show some respect to your

place.”

Fleury’s ward, Rideau-Vanier, is home to a concentration of rundown buildings, including the school at 287 Cumberland St., so he has taken a particular interest in fixing the issue.

“You might own commercial, residential or institutional buildings that are vacant, but from street level, they shouldn’t (look) vacant,” Fleury said.

Hume said the issue spans the entire city, and it’s not just about properties that have a heritage designation.

“This is an issue that communities face whether you’re on Bank Street in Old Ottawa South or you’re in my community on Faircrest Heights that has a building that was damaged by fire,” Hume said.

The city wants to see vibrant, “complete” streets and it’s looking at a number of options to ensure the upkeep of buildings is part of that.

On April 18, city staff will present options for addressing derelict buildings at the community and protective services committee.

Possible options include denying property owners vacancy discounts on their taxes, requiring a vacancy permit if a building remains unoccupied – something that’s done in Winnipeg, or requiring fire-safety plans.

EMC news - Owners of rundown vacant buildings can expect a crackdown from bylaw officials, Mayor Jim Watson said as he took a hardline stance on derelict properties on March 7.

“No one wants a rundown building in their neighbourhood,” the mayor said. They detract from the value of neighbouring properties, discourage new businesses from locating nearby and create safety concerns, the mayor said.

The crackdown means the city will insist that property owners keep up with the basic maintenance required to keep their properties safe.

Until now, the city had only been enforcing minimum standards because staff believed it would encourage property owners to take matters into their own hands. For the most part, that tactic has worked, he said.

But not in all cases.

Under Ottawa’s current bylaws, the city can force property owners to fix the roof and paint and maintain the building’s facade, repair broken windows, clean up debris and garbage and ensure that protective boards called hoarding are painted and maintained to blend in with the building, “not becoming a mish-

friends and neighbours.”

“It’s a drag on the economic potential of neighbourhoods like this and it’s something that needs to be addressed if we aspire to more,” Hume added.

Watson singled out one company in particular – Claude Lauzon Group – which is already taking the city to court in an effort to get permission to tear down a decaying school it owns at the corner of Cumberland and Murray streets in Lowertown. The conflict between the property management company and the city escalated last week with Lauzon sending letters to councillors Mathieu Fleury and Peter Hume threatening defamation lawsuits for comments made to Le Droit newspaper and the CBC regarding the rundown state of the old school Lauzon Group owns at 287 Cumberland St. “The city will not be intimidated by legal tactics from derelict property owners,” Watson said.

A lawyer for Claude Lauzon Group did not return calls before this newspaper’s deadline.

Hume said he doesn’t regret any comments he made.

“If anything, the comments that I and Coun. Fleury and others have made have engendered a wider public debate that, at the end of the day, is going to make our city a better

One of life’s lesson learned by caring for animals

E

merson said there was something wrong with my head.

He thought it probably had something to do with the bump I got when I fell out of a tree. My sister Audrey said to pay him no heed. She said I was right as rain, which certainly eased my mind.

But Emerson said anyone who took to animals that weren’t quite right had to have a screw loose.

There was no doubt I seemed to be especially fond of any farm animal that came into the world a bit different from the ordinary.

Emerson pointed to my pet chicken. I called her Biddy. Now, what made Biddy very different from the flock was she didn’t have a feather on her body. She had a sort of cuff of down around her neck, but that was it as far as feathers were concerned. Her body was a soft pink, smooth as a china plate and I loved her with all my heart.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Biddy and I spent hours together. When the summer sun was hot, she sat on my knee in the old wood swing in the grape arbour, as I tried to keep her out of the sun, because one day her skin turned as red as a beet.

As we rocked in the swing, Biddy would fall sound asleep in minutes. I thought she was beautiful. Emerson said she was a freak.

Then there was Lambie.

She was black as ink and in a flock as white as the driven snow, was an immediate outcast.

I adopted Lambie immediately. As well as being black when she was born, Father doubted she would

see morning -- she was tiny and had trouble breathing.

After sleeping in the house by the Findlay Oval in a cardboard box and being fed by me from a doll’s bottle, she thrived. She followed me everywhere and eventually had to be kept in the barn after Mother announced there would be no more sheep in the house.

Then there was old Harry With The Heaves, as he was called. Harry was a dark brown horse with a questionable ancestry. He was very old and had what we called a sway-back. Emerson said you could lay a bale of hay in the middle of his back. He wasn’t much good for work-

ing, but like all the other misfits that came into being on the farm, I loved old Harry With The Heaves with a deep passion.

With the least exertion old Harry would heave like he was taking his last breath, so he was never put to work. He mainly sought a cool place in the summer, with his head almost touching the ground and standing perfectly still, and in the winter stayed in the warmth of the barn.

Sometimes I would hitch him up to the cutter and take a few cuts around the barnyard. But they were few indeed, because within minutes he was heaving like his time had come. I would unhitch him, use the currycomb on him, make sure he had water to drink and a patch of hay to chew on, and hug his neck and tell him how much I loved him. I was sure he knew what I was saying.

Now, a horse with the heaves isn’t much good to a farmer, so I dreaded the day

Father would say Harry’s time had come. I decided I had to have a talk with Father. I waited for just the right time. As he did every night before he went to bed, he went to the barns to check on the animals. Never do I ever remember him not putting on his boots and heavy coat and heading out to the barns before bedtime.

One night I went with him. Of course, old Harry With The Heaves was in his stall with his head almost to the floor. I asked Father what was going to happen to my favourite horse when he could no longer even walk around the barnyard. Father just said, “We’ll worry about that when the time comes,� which put my mind at ease for the moment. Every night afterward I added old Harry to my prayers, asking that “his time� be a long way off.

The winter was severe that year. Harry was kept in the barn almost every day. The frosty air would cause him

to heave even if he wasn’t walking around the barnyard.

Without fail, as soon as I came home from school and got into my play clothes, I would head for the barn to see Harry. Then came the day when Harry was gone. I thought perhaps Father had let him out for some air. But he was nowhere to be seen.

I was frantic and ran from building to building looking for Father. He was cleaning out the sheep stable, and it looked like he knew exactly why I was there. “Where is he?� Father put the fork down, and rubbed the top of my head which immediately started me into the tears. All he said was, “Harry has gone to a better place.�

When I was very young I thought the animals I loved would live forever. It took me a long time to realize you didn’t raise farm animals for pets. Harry, like Biddy and Lambie, had gone to a better place.

Eggs with asparagus a good source of fibre EMC lifestyle - It’s a sure sign of spring when the first bunches of Canadian asparagus appear at the neighbourhood market.

Local produce is the freshest you can buy and is always a healthy, nutritious choice. Adding freshly picked, locally grown asparagus into your breakfast or brunch is a simple, unexpected way to energize your body with essential vitamins and minerals and start the day off right.

Fibre is also an essential nutrient and a vital part of healthy eating.

Did you know that one slice of bread contains as much fibre as one cup of asparagus? Sufficient fibre helps you maintain a healthy weight as it keeps you feeling full longer without adding extra calories.

This eggs Benedict recipe, with asparagus and whole grains, is high in fibre and uses fresh, locally grown produce has everything you want to get you going in the morning.

Prep time: 30 minutes. Total time: 35 minutes. Serves six.

Ingredients

• 1 package dry hollandaise sauce mix • 24-30 asparagus spears • 6 eggs • 15 ml (1 tbsp) white vinegar

• 6 slices whole grain bread, toasted • 6 slices swiss cheese • 12 slices peameal bacon, cooked as per package directions • Salt and pepper Preparation

Cook the hollandaise sauce according to package directions. Keep warm. Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for two to three minutes, until tender crisp and set aside.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then lower the heat to keep the water just simmering. Stir in the vinegar.

Working one egg at a time, crack into a small cup and gently drop into the simmering water.

Once all eggs have been added to the pot, cook until the desired doneness is achieved, about three to four minutes for medium poached. Remove the eggs from pot with a slotted spoon.

Place two slices of peameal bacon on each slice of toast, top with a slice of cheese, a layer of blanched asparagus, and a poached egg.

Drizzle with desired amount of hollandaise sauce on the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately. newscanada.com

Bring on Spring with a Trip to the Ottawa Gatineau International Auto Show

by Brian Turner

A growing number of new and used vehicle shoppers are putting off the part of the process they dread the most until the very end; visiting their auto retailer. With the ever-increasing web presence that automakers, reviewers, consumer analysts, dealerships, and even independent used-car lots have, car buyers have a lot of choice when it comes to research and pricing shopping for their next set of wheels.

The reason why more and more people are putting more time into online homework surrounding this task is their assumption that auto retailers are staffed by aggressive sales consultants and managers who need to be avoided like the plague.

The down-side of all this off-site research and comparison shopping is fewer

and fewer buyers get a chance to ‘try on’ more than one or two models of a vehicle before they make their decision. And when it comes to choosing a vehicle for a couple or a family, or even yourself, making sure it fits everyone who will use it is a very important part of the process.

Convention Centre and that means something for everyone.”

From exotic super-cars to mods and rods to a gasoline alley filled with every type of auto accessory and service imaginable, the show is the place for the serious buyer and auto enthusiast to both get their fill.

The perfect time and place to dispel the manic motor-sales rep myth and to try on as many vehicles as you want is coming up from March 21st to 24th at the Ottawa Convention Centre when the Ottawa Gatineau International Auto Show cruises back into the Capital for its 27th year. Show producer Peter Ginsberg took a few moments from a very hectic schedule to point out some of the highlights of this year’s event. “The show has grown from 15 manufacturers in its early years to 25 automakers today. We’ll have over 250 vehicles on three levels at the

For the car buyer, the show is the only place to find every make sold in Canada under one roof with knowledgeable staff to answer all your questions with a no-pressure approach. Most of the models will be available for tire-kickers to open the doors, check under the hood, and try a seat or two. It’s the ultimate in interactive comparison

shopping. The show is open from 10 am to 10 pm Thursday through Saturday and from 10 am to 5 pm on Sunday. Thursday is Military day with any service member getting $5 off their admission by simply showing their ID.

Teen’s dream role lands her a spot in Oz Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Making Canada’s Immigration System Work Canada is a country that prides itself on being able to attract the very best and brightest newcomers.

However, in the past, our immigration system has not worked as well as it could have. Skilled workers looking to immigrate here were being left in the dark over whether or not their foreign credentials would be recognized in Canada.

One of the ways we have addressed this issue is through the Canadian Immigrant Integration Program (CIIP). The CIIP seeks to assist potential immigrants by providing them with all the information they need regarding credential recognition and the Canadian labour market as a whole. By helping newcomers prepare for economic success in advance, before leaving their country, this minimizes the time it takes to become a contributing resident of Canada.

To date, 20,000 people have graduated from the CIIP, with 99% of participants agreeing that the services offered by the program had improved their understanding of how to find suitable work in Canada.

EMC news - She doesn’t need to close her eyes, click her ruby red heels together three times, and wish.

Marie-Pier Jean, 14, had landed the role she always dreamed about getting: Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. “This is the ultimate role,” she said. “Dorothy’s always been a dream role for me, following in Judy Garland’s footsteps.”

The Béatrice-Desloges Catholic high school Grade 9 student will be playing Dorothy in the upcoming production by the Greely Players.

And it isn’t her first time on stage – the young actress has been in 10 shows since starting acting at age nine.

The francophone actress started with the Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet company when a friend of her father was looking for actors.

“I didn’t speak a word

of English when I got there, so it was a crashcourse in English,” she said.

The now-bilingual actress has been in shows with ASNY, Orpheus Musical Theatre and GOYA Theatre Productions, and will now add the Greely Players to her list.

For her role in GOYA’s production of Homechild, she was nominated for best actress in the Capital Critic Circle Awards. At 12, it was the first time a child had been nominated.

She also keeps busy with vocal training and competing in the Kiwanis music competitions – she won gold in all her categories last year – so the multiple productions combined with school plays mean a busy schedule for the Jean family.

The next step is finding an agent to start looking for television and professional theatre roles, both goals for Marie-Pier.

She’s still several

years away from graduating from BéatriceDesloges, where she is enrolled in the intensive arts program, but studying theatre at the post-secondary level is something Marie-Pier is interested in. Her ultimate dream would be to land a role on one of the world’s biggest stages: Broadway.

“I’ve always dreamed of that since I was in my first show,” she said.

But for now she’s happy to put on her slippers, which she purchased herself to keep as a show souvenir, and travel to Greely to play Dorothy.

She’s been a great salesperson for the theatre company with 120 tickets sold to her friends, family and school teachers planning to make the trip to see her star in the upcoming production of her favourite show.

“It’s not an easy role to play, but it’s an easier role for me,” Marie-Pier said. “I’ve seen the movie about 100 times.”

The Wizard of Oz runs

Not only does this program benefit new immigrants by making our immigration system more efficient, but it also helps ensure newcomers are able to contribute to our economy sooner and in a more meaningful way, ultimately benefiting all Canadians.

REDUCED PRICES ON ALL MONUMENTS FOR EARLY SPRING DELIVERY

Our Government has made it a priority to build a fast and flexible economic immigration system to meets the needs of our labour market. Through measures like the CIIP, we are proud to say that we are delivering on that promise.

When we first took office in 2006, we inherited an immigration system where applications for Skilled Workers were taking five years to process and the backlog was approaching half a million people. Since this time we have been able to shorten the application time to just one year, and the backlog has been reduced by over 150,000 people. This means that fewer worthy applicants are being turned away, and more new Canadians are being given the opportunity to strengthen our economy.

Canada is a country that welcomes determination, hard-work, resourcefulness, and an entrepreneurial spirit. The CIIP is helping ensure that those who embody these values make Canada their destination of choice.

Ottawa companies awarded for excellence Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club

OSU Academy Player Dylan Lawrence headed to St. FX X-Men After playing for the Ottawa South United Force Academy for the past three years, Dylan Lawrence is now ready to move on to the next stage in his life. The Holy Trinity Catholic High School senior recently signed with the St. Francis Xavier X-Men, and will now spend the next four to five years of his life playing Canadian university soccer in Nova Scotia.

St. FX Head Coach Graham Kennedy considers the talented OSU product a coup for the X-Men. “We are absolutely delighted to have a student-athlete like Dylan join our program,” Kennedy says. “I am excited about his potential. We are ‘the little school than can,’ and with recruits like Dylan joining our team, we will succeed.”

It was at the 2012 OSU Showcase Tournament that X-Men associate coach Miroslav Novak saw Lawrence play. Strangely enough, however, it was St. FX’s women’s team coach Trevor Reddick who first noticed Lawrence at a local soccer event six years ago. Impressed by then 12-year-old Lawrence’s soccer tricks, Reddick casually mentioned to the young boy that he should play for St. FX one day.

Lawrence’s soccer skills have gotten him even more attention recently as he is the co-star of two Youtube videos that feature Lawrence and teammate Stephen Veenema performing tricks around various locations in downtown Ottawa. The first video has over 14,000 views, while the second was officially sponsored by Ottawa Tourism.

“We definitely did not expect the outcome we got from the first video,” recounts Lawrence, who helped with editing and production of the videos. “Having CTV and CBC radio contact us about the video, that really motivated us to make another one.”

Lawrence has parlayed his video editing skills into his own company: Tacklebox Productions. They are currently filming promotional videos for Jumpstart Canada, a program dedicated to helping less fortunate children get involved in sports. While he would like to polish his production skills during his time at St. FX, Lawrence knows that his new teammates will be counting on him to produce on the pitch as well.

“Hopefully, I can help them win a championship because it’s been a few years since they’ve won one,” highlights the playmaking midfielder. “My long-term dream is to play in the MLS, and I hope my route through St. FX will help me reach it.”

Lawrence credits his time at OSU for giving him the foundation to reach for the next level.

“I loved playing for the OSU. They treated me really well and gave me every opportunity I could get to help me get a scholarship and it paid off,” explains the captain of the ’95 Force boys’ team. “Anybody who is planning to play at the university level, they provide you with opportunities like tournaments and showcases that get you the chance to be seen by university coaches.”

“I loved all the coaches at OSU, especially my head coach Mahmut Adulovic,” Lawrence notes. “I have great relationships with them and they’re people that I’m going to stay in contact with throughout my years.”

While Lawrence is already developing a solid relationship with his new coaches at St. FX, including head coach Graham Kennedy, he says he’ll definitely miss his teammates and mentors from OSU.

EMC news - When Maya Chikaishi first moved to Ottawa 14 years ago, she immediately felt like it would be her new home.

Having made the 15,000-kilometre journey from Japan to Ottawa to learn English and expand her career prospects, Chikaishi went to Carleton University. As she approached approaching graduation, the young woman admitted her lack of Canadian work experience would make it hard for her to find a job, but Ottawa software firm Kivuto gave her an interview and eventually the chance she was looking for. Now a director with the firm, she said she is proud to still call Ottawa her home.

Kivuto and Chikaishi were honoured on March 6 for employer excellence at the 2013 Employer Council of Champions Summit, organized by the local organization Hire Immi-

grants Ottawa.

“I’m honoured and pleased to be part of this company and to receive this award,” Chikaishi said.

The event took place at the National Arts Centre as part of a two-day summit to help promote diverse workplaces.

Henry Akanko, the director of Hire Immigrants Ottawa, said the awards handed out at the summit are a way to encourage more employers to consider hiring recent immigrants.

“The value is to raise the profile of why it’s important to have diverse workplaces,” Akanko said. “These awards help us tell successful stories to organizations who may be thinking of expanding.”

The second recipient of the award was Bridgehead Coffeehouse and Roastery. Tracey Clark, the managing director of Bridgehead, accepted the award.

“This is a nice recognition for the efforts that we are making,” she

said.

Clark added that she feels this award is also something the coffee house’s employees can celebrate too.

“We think diversity is really important,” she said. “It came out of us trying to be competitive, but everyday we are learning new things from our employees.”

For starters, Clark said, some of the new immigrants the company has hired have proven to be a great influence in the kitchens of her establishments, offering ideas on new dishes the coffee house could serve.

For Chikaishi, working for Kivuto has been life altering.

“They have given me one opportunity after another,” she said.

Chikaishi started her career in email support, as a Japanese translator and is now the director of her department.

“I just kept getting more and more responsibility,” Chikaishi said.

Now part of the hiring team, Chikaishi said she

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Maya Chikaishi and her employer, Kivuto were one of two companies awarded for employer excellence at the 2013 Employer Council of Champions Summit on March 6. is interviewing a lot of new immigrants for positions at the company.

“They remind me of myself, 10 years ago,” she said. “I didn’t get a lot of interviews because I didn’t have much Canadian experience, and I know what they are going through.”

Her goal as a manager, she added, is to continue to create a diverse work-

place at Kivuto, where she has met some of her best friends.

“Working here feels like being part of a family,” she said.

Hire Immigrants Ottawa is a community-based initiative that connects employers with access to skilled immigrants as well as resources and tools to be encouraged to hire new immigrants.

Bridge Street developments keep coming Continued from the front

Moffatt reminded residents about plans to build the Van Vliet extension and intersection this April. At the same time, Dickinson Circle will be realigned with a signalized intersection.

Developer Joe Princiotta gave a brief update on the construction of Orchardview on the Rideau, a new retirement residence on Bridge Street. He said he hopes to have residents living there by Christmas.

Another developer also presented early plans to redevelop the plaza on the northeast corner of Manotick Main and Bridge, which would extend the property and add a new bank and plaza on the corner.

Some residents questioned whether this would be good for the village, but most people at the meeting agreed that the current plaza, which houses the Hard Stones Grill and the parking lot that goes with it, is too ugly for the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gateway intersection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a pretty village but the first thing you see is this ugly intersection,â&#x20AC;? one resident said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These people are thinking in the right way.â&#x20AC;?

The other concern was parking.

Currently the plaza has more parking than required, and it is often

used as a public lot by people who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even shopping in the stores.

The new development will meet the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking requirements but only just - reducing the amount of spots available.

Some residents said that the extra parking is necessary, especially since there are few accessible side streets nearby to park.

Property manager Scott Wilson said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the landlordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility to provide public parking for the village.

One resident received a smattering of applause when she pointed out that Manotick has been trying to become more pedestrian and bike friendly, and that more parking is not the answer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it hard to park, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to make it easier to walk,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The development has not been submitted to the city yet, but the architects in charge of the project have spent the last month meeting with community associations and the public to make sure their project is acceptable before entering negotiations with the city.

Moffatt also led an update about the ongoing request for expressions of interest to redevelop Dickinson Square.

RA Centre to host wheelchair curling championships michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - The RA Centre has announced it will host this year’s Canadian wheelchair curling championships at the end of this month.

The 2013 Wheelchair Curling Championships will welcome 10 teams from across Canada March 24-31. The centre is one of the most accessible facilities in the city for wheelchair curling, according to the Canadian Curling Association. Wheelchair curling clubs are welcomed weekly to train, play or learn the sport.

The Ottawa Valley Curling Association, the Canadian Curling Association and members of the RA Centre announced the venue March 2.

“This is possibly the best centre, not only in Ottawa or Canada, but the world, to host wheelchair curling,” said Jamie Eddy of the Capital Curling Wheelchairs Club.

Eddy and more than 30 members of his club attended

the announcement, which also offered an opportunity to participate in a clinic on how to learn to wheelchair curl.

This will be the second time the accessible centre will host the championships. The first was in 2007. More than 80 volunteers will help make sure the week runs smoothly, with everything from ticket sales to registration, said Elaine Brimicombe president of the Ottawa Valley Curling Association.

Brimicombe and Rick Baker, the RA Centre’s general manager, are the co-chairs for the championships, working alongside a committee of 10 people.

“We started planning for this event, really since the last time we hosted,” Brimicombe said. “Back then we only had four teams participating but I am pleased this year we will welcome 10 teams.”

Teams from Alberta, Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Northern Ontario, Nova Sco-

tia, Quebec and Saskatchewan will participate in the weeklong tournament.

Ottawa South MP David McGuinty and Capital Coun.

David Chernushenko attended the event.

“I am looking forward to watching some of the competition over the course of the week,” McGuinty said.

Chernushenko and McGuinty both admitted they had never curled in their life but were looking forward to learning a thing or two from the curlers at the upcoming event. And when it comes to wheelchair curling, those who play say it’s a lot of fun, but also takes a lot of effort and patience to learn.

For instance, the game of curling typically has two or three sweepers, who help reduce the friction underneath the stone or decrease the curl or the stone, but when it comes to wheelchair curling, there are no sweepers, there is just team members who take turns releasing the rock with a throwing stick and their skip,

Pet Adoptions Puck ID#A153537

Meet Puck a 6-week-old, male, white and brown American Shorthair guinea pig.

He was surrendered to the OHS by his owner, but is ready for adoption! Puck is currently being socialized here at the OHS by the adoption staff, he will need an owner who is willing to put in the extra time needed to help him blossom to his full potential. Puck loves being cuddled and exploring new toys in his cage but will require time to play outside of his cage daily. Puck is a true guinea pig and will need toys that will help keep his teeth trim and fit, guinea pigs are heavy chewers who are very curious in nature and need lots of safe items to keep them busy, and entertained! To learn more about Puck, please contact the Ottawa Humane Society at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or come visit our new location, 245 West Hunt Club Road.

Aurora is an 11 month old, spayed female, black and white Alaskan Malamute and Alaskan Klee Kai mix. This playful girl was brought to the OHS as a stray November 25, 2012, and is patiently waiting for her forever home. Aurora is looking to be the only dog in your home as she is still learning to be respectful of others. She is a very social lady but has a tendency to get a little timid when meeting new people. Aurora is looking for a home with older children who are comfortable with large and energetic dogs. She is currently a Special Needs adoption as while in our care she has been experiencing recurrent soft stools. She will require diagnostic testing in the future to determine the exact cause of her problems. You will need to discuss her condition with your veterinarian to develop the best treatment plan for her going forward. Are you looking for a running partner or a dog that will enjoy hikes in the snow? Then Aurora is the girl for you!

A Quick Guide to Guinea Pigs Guinea pigs make delightful companions for both adults and families. Once settled in their new home, guinea pigs are inquisitive, friendly and talkative. Guinea pigs are social animals, so it’s best to keep at least two for companionship. Their average life span is four to eight years but, with proper care and nutrition, guinea pigs can live up to ten years.

General Care: • Guinea pigs need nutritious food, fresh water and a clean habitat.

• Guinea pigs need daily exercise and play.

• All household members should understand how to hold and play with a guinea pig, and they should all be as eager as you welcome a guinea pig or two into the family.

Special Considerations:

• Penicillin-based drugs, commonly prescribed for other pets, are toxic to guinea pigs.

• Exercise wheels and balls can cause injury to guinea pigs and should never be used.

• Never leave your guinea pigs unsupervised where a predator or other pet could harm them.

Regular exercise outside the cage is essential for your guinea pigs health, as well as great fun for the family. A room can be made safe for guinea pigs by preventing access to electrical cords, removing hazardous items and blocking gaps under appliances and furniture. Alternatively, a playpen will allow your pets to romp in safety. Guinea pigs enjoy a variety of safe toys such as wide tubes, cartons and wood bird toys.

Most guinea pigs are cautious about being picked up, but love being petted once they are on your lap.

who helps them determine the ice conditions before the throw.

First-time wheelchair curler, Jodi Hoar, she said it’s all in how you release the rock.

“Everything is a variable,” Hoar said. “And every time you throw it is does something different.”

Hoar and fellow curler, Sarah Shima decided to give the sport a try as a means to get out of the house in the winter time.

“It’s so easy to become housebound in the winter, in a wheelchair,” Hoar said. “This

game makes you get out of the house two to three times a week.”

At the RA Centre the wheelchair curlers integrate with able-bodied curlers to play. Shima explained that although they are playing with a team who do have sweepers, the opportunity to play with these teams becomes a great learning experience.

“To have the chance to play against the others is fantastic, you get to learn so much,” Shima said.

Hoar agreed.

“And when you win it’s that

much sweeter,” Hoar said.

Both women say they have quickly become lovers of the game.

“The thing I like the most is not to take yourself so seriously, because at first you are terrible, and you are terrible for a long time before you get it right. But when you do, it is awesome.” Hoar said.

The championships begin on March 24 and run through the week to March 31. Tickets and more information about the event are available online at www.curling.ca/championships/wheelchair.

PET OF THE WEEK

Peaches & Pixel

Hi, I’m Peaches and I’m 12 yrs. old and this is Pixel and she is 11 mos. old. We were both adopted from the OHS by our human Katie. Katie chose me even though I was already 8 and had a cloudy left eye. I am a lovely boy and very cuddly but sometimes I talk alot when I want to eat which would be all the time if I had my way. I accidently got out last summer and was missing for two months. I finally got brave and went up to a lady who had seen all the posters about me and she brought me home. My humans and dog, Disney were overjoyed to see me. I was very skinny and hungry. Pixel arrived just before I was found. She is very playful, loving, likes feet but hates to be held. She growls if you try to hold her. Pixel also prefers to “trill or murmur” rather than meow. She is very curious and even jumped in the dryer once. She fell in the toilet twice (I laughed) and is fascinated by the toilet flushing. We like to wrestle and chase each other around the house. We are very well loved kitties.

Gillian Baker, Canadian Red Cross Society and Ottawa paramedic André Mollema urge Ottawa residents to stay safe this spring and stay away from local waterways. The two alongside Ottawa Police Services, Ottawa Public Health and the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario offered safety tips and outlined the dangers of thin ice at New Edinburgh Park on March 4.

Officials warn to stay safe this spring Keep children, pets away from local waterways Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - A group of health and safety officials is warning Ottawa residents to stay away from the ice as the warm weather approaches.

Gillian Baker of the Canadian Red Cross Society spoke about water safety and drowning prevention tips at New Edinburgh Park on March 4.

The warning comes from the Ottawa Drowning Prevention Coalition, which includes organizations such as Ottawa police, Ottawa Public Health and the Ottawa Paramedic Services.

The group warned residents that as the weather warms up, Ottawa’s rivers become dangerous.

“This thaw makes our waterways extremely dangerous,” Baker said.

Last year, she added, two people died from falling through the ice in the spring and emergency services responded to more than 78 ice and waterway-related calls.

“It can take but only a second,” Baker said of falling through the ice. She added that if someone does fall through the ice, residents are warned not to try to save them, but to call 911.

“One can never tell the true depth or the thickness of the ice by the colour on the surface,” she said.

The message, Baker added, is an important one for parents and dog owners who use city parks that boarder a waterway.

Const. Alana Fong offered safety tips in case a person were to fall through the ice, noting the one-10-one rule.

• The cold shock of falling in the water will pass after one minute, at which point the victim must calm themselves down and slow their breathing.

• The victim will have about 10 minutes of meaningful movement before they begin to lose muscle control.

During this time, the victim should try to get horizontal in the water and kick and push as much as possible.

• The victim will have one hour before hyperthermia sets in, depending on the type of clothing worn.

“Try to work towards the spot where you fell in, and move into the best position to pull yourself up or out,” Fong said.

The coalition also warns pet owners to keep their dogs on a leash near the rivers or ponds.

The Ottawa Drowning Prevention Coalition was created in 2003 to help prevent incidents of drowning, neardrowning and other waterrelated injuries in the Ottawa area.

Members of Ottawa Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services, Ottawa Public Health, Ottawa police, paramedics and fire services, the Lifesaving Society, Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa, the Canadian Red Cross, Dovercourt Recreation Centre and the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario make up the coalition.

Sorting through feelings may not come easy to you, Aries.

At some point it becomes necessary to voice your opinions and you may need to show a vulnerable side.

Taurus, a few complications could arise this week and how you react to them will be telling of how the rest of the month may proceed. Think about this before you act.

Gemini, this week is likely to be a wash because there is something that came up that has the potential to dominate all of your time for the next several days.

Cancer, though you may be anxious to help a friend out, you need to seriously consider whether you have the time to spare at this point in time. Putting yourself first is priority.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

Leo, someone is going to open up to you emotionally and you may get caught off guard by the level of intimacy. This could turn out to be the start of a long-lasting friendship.

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!

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, let a particular situation cool down instead of adding extra fuel to the fire. Step away from a heated discussion if you feel like things may get out of control.

Last week’s answers

Libra, your heart may beat a little faster this week because of the excitement involved in meeting someone that has been on your mind. Be patient.

Scorpio, continue to discuss a financial situation with your significant other. Even if the discussion grows tiresome, talking it out is the best way to resolve the issue.

Sagittarius, you have an uncanny way of turning something that would normally be disastrous into enjoyable chaos.

Think about a side career in party planning.

Capricorn, big changes are in store for your family and there are nerves to accompany these changes. Set aside a day this week where you can have peace, quiet and time to reflect.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Aquarius, your words are being heard but their meaning is simply not sinking in. Try rephrasing or approach the situation from another direction.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, your social schedule is jam-packed and you wouldn’t have it any other way. There may be a pocket of time for more fun.
