EMC news – Manotick residents may have to wait longer to benefit from the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge, after the builder went into receivership mid-March. In a March 20 statement, the City of Ottawa said this was the result of actions by creditors several days before. While the city of Ottawa has assured residents that the project is still underway, it is not clear whether the bridge will face significant delays in the short and long term. Manotick Village Community Association member Klaus Beltzner, who manages the association’s transportation portfolio, said the news could have drastic results for the village if the project is delayed for any length of time. Beltzner said short-term delays will have little impact. However if the bridge isn’t finished by the end of 2012, there could be bigger problems, Beltzner said. First, beginning in 2012 and continuing until 2015 the 417 will be widened between the Blair and Nicholas exchanges, which could send even more trucks along Bridge Street. Drivers already use the route as a de facto ring road to get from east Ottawa to the 416. “We were hoping the (Strandherd-Armstrong) bridge would be a detour for that,” Beltzner said. Furthermore, two significant construction projects could affect Bridge Street itself in the next two years: the connection of Long Island Road and South River Road, which would cause lane closures on Bridge Street, and the construction of a new senior’s residence that will require a closed lane to accommodate trucks that aren’t allowed to park behind the site. “The impact on Manotick
would be no relief (from trucks going through the village)... while we have our own projects going,” he said. “It’s not to say we can’t live through it, but it will be less comfortable than it would have been.” According to the city’s press release, the city plans to work with the courts and the receiver to ensure the protection of the interests of the residents of Ottawa. The Bolton, Ont.-based contractor beat out four rival companies in 2010 to build the eight-lane StrandherdArmstrong Bridge across the Rideau River to link the communities of Riverside South and Barrhaven. When contacted by phone on Tuesday, March 20, a representative from the company said Concreate USL would not make a statement at that time. In 2010, the city and both provincial and federal levels of government set aside a total of $48 million (shared equally between the three levels of government) for the construction of the bridge. Work on the bridge is about 60 per cent complete and the city holds a performance bond of $23 million that should ensure the completion of the project, the statement said. The bridge was scheduled to be finished in late 2012. Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches said he was disappointed to hear the contractor is in receivership, but is pleased that operations are ongoing. “We have made tremendous progress on the bridge. We have completed Earl Armstrong Road, Strandherd Drive and we have completed approximately 60 percent of the bridge project,” he said. “It has been a top priority for me since being elected and my focus will be on ensuring the project is completed and protecting the interest of taxpayers.” BRIDGE page 2

Drinking water protection plan to impact Shadow Ridge residents Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
EMC news - Greely residents living in the Shadow Ridge wellhead protection area are invited to give feedback on a draft policy to protect local drinking water. On Tuesday, March 20 the South Nation Conservation Authority and the Raisin Region Conservation Authority held an open house in Greely to discuss how Shadow Ridge residents may be impacted by a draft Source Protection Plan, which will require the City of Ottawa to implement new measures to protect vulnerable wellheads and drinking water. The two conservation groups created a source protection committee six years ago to assess activities that threaten drinking water south and east of Ottawa, as part of the provincial Clean Water Act of 2006. Local source protection committees across Ontario must submit their policies to the province by August 2012. The committee’s draft policy would require area municipalities to enforce stricter standards for maintaining fuel storage tanks and septic systems, applying pesticides and fertilizer and monitoring other chemical,
industrial and agricultural activities that could contaminate drinking water. Greely and Vars are the city of Ottawa’s only two source protection areas within the committee’s catchment area, which covers east of the Rideau River excluding downtown. A committee run by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority has created a separate document for source protection on the west end of the city. In Greely, Raisin-South Nation water resources engineer Phil Barnes said the Shadow Ridge wellhead faces two immediate threats: residential septic systems and fuel oil storage tanks. The draft plan will require these items within a certain distance from the wellhead to be inspected, Barnes said. “Now that we know this area is vulnerable and susceptible to contamination we need to make sure their septic system is maintained, their fuel oil tank is maintained, in a fashion so that it doesn’t break down or leak and contaminate the drinking water,” Barnes said.

Bridge construction to continue despite company’s financial difficulties the proper standards,” he said. “I am relieved that we have some safeguards in place to continue to operate.” Lisa MacLeod, MPP for Nepean-Carleton, said she was also surprised and disappointed at the news. “I am watching and hoping for the best,” said MacLeod. “I am going to monitor the situation and I am going to be very hopeful.”
Desroches promised to continue working closely with city officials to ensure there is a good contingency plan in place so that if circumstances change, the city is ready to move the project forward quickly. “My priority is not to only ensure the bridge is completed in a timely manner, but also (that it is) built safely and to
Area MP Pierre Poilievre said he is determined to see the project completed in a timely manner. In a statement he added that the federal government will continue to work in cooperation with the city to get the job done. “We both share the goal of a new bridge to connect southend communities as soon as possible.”

Greely’s wellhead is particularly vulnerable because the aquifer is covered mainly by sand and gravel, which allows contaminants to more easily seep into the water system. The draft suggests the city consider deepening the Shadow Ridge well to the Nepean aquifer to reduce the immediate threat of contamination. Once the policy starts to roll out in 2013, residents living inside the most vulnerable parts of Shadow Ridge’s source protection area would need to upgrade their fuel oil storage tanks and septic systems to meet the new code. For example, single-walled steel fuel oil tanks with sidefeed would need to be replaced with double-walled tanks immediately, and single-walled steel tanks with bottom-feed must be replaced within five years. Double-bottom steel tanks with bottom-feed must be replaced when the tank is 25 years old or when a leak is detected. Replacement tanks must be more leak resistant than a single-walled steel tank and include a tank tray to capture oil in the event of a spill. There are multiple new requirements for municipalities regarding sewers and septic systems, but the impact on residents actually comes from the provincial building code, not the Source Protection Plan, according to South Na-
tion staff Alison McDonald. As of 2011 the code requires all septic systems to be inspected every five years. McDonald said that while the conservation authorities won’t address the issue directly in their policy because it would be redundant, they are including the information at public consultations because the Ontario Drinking Water Stewardship is offering grants for residents who need to upgrade their equipment. “We’ve been really trying to push people to become aware of what types of threats they have so they can get the money now, because we don’t know if there will be money coming down the road,” McDonald said. Barnes said eliminating redundancy has been a priority for the organization, to be fair to the residents and businesses affected. “We’re capturing anything that’s not covered by an existing regulation, or we’re putting in something stronger that wasn’t there in the past. We’ve tried our hardest not to add another layer of red tape to anything,” he said. That was the city of Ottawa’s main concern. Since the city straddles two Source Protection Plan areas – South Nation’s and Rideau Valley’s – staff want to make sure the two policies are very similar to make implementing them easier.
“Our concern...is how the plans are meshed together so we don’t have different policies for the west and the east,” said Michel Kearney, a hydro geologist for the city. He noted that if the policies differ too greatly council may decide to implement the more restrictive policy across the board. “We have the choice to do that, it would be the decision of council if we want to do that,” he said. Barnes said east and west committees collaborated to make sure the policies were at least headed in the same direction. “The general intent is the same, especially on activities and threats that are in their area and our area,” he said. Barnes said residents and businesses have been very receptive to the proposed measures, even if they were hesitant at first. “Once they call us they realize these plans were designed based on the principle that we want to be fair, we want to make sure the water is secure but we don’t want to put anybody out of business. And I think once they realize that and that they’re mostly common sense things anyway, then they’re ok with that,” Barnes said.

Poilievre and his staff worked with Rob Clarke, MP for Desnethé-MissinippiChurchill River, to deliver the items to the La Ronge Health Centre in the Mamawetan Churchill River Health Region. La Ronge has 2,700 people plus an additional 2,000 from the neighbouring Lac La Ronge First Nation community.

Barbara Rowat has been knitting blankets and vests for children in northern Canada. In the meantime she contacted local MP Pierre Poilievre’s office to ask for help, not knowing where or how to send donations. A case manager in the office, Dianna Rzewucki, began emailing different communities across the country asking what they needed and if donations would be appreciated. She told Rowat that it would take days to get an answer. But within a matter of hours, Rzewucki called Rowat with news of an overwhelming response. “A woman was in tears
to think she could get some pneumonia vests for the babies. We were getting really sad, sad stories about the state of things in the far north,” Rowat said.
Rowat and her knitting group gathered a sizeable pile of balaclavas, men’s toques, 17 pairs of slipper socks, 16 pairs of mitts, and 100 children’s hats. She also began

EMC news - A Manotick resident is leading a group of knitters to fulfill a seemingly simple wish: that every child have a blanket to cuddle with at night. The task is not as easy as it sounds. As Barbara Rowat discovered last fall when images of the desperate living conditions in Attawapiskat appeared on Canada’s televisions, many Canadian children living up north don’t have the necessary blankets, hats, mitts and other warm clothing to get through the winter. “It’s hard to conceive that it’s in this country that this is going on,” Rowat said. “I hear women and children are turning up at the shelters and the children don’t have any jackets or shoes. I heard of a woman turning up at the hospital...and the child only had a t-shirt on.” When Rowat saw what was going on in Attawapiskat, she got in touch with a group of knitters who for the past two years had been meeting once a week at the Manotick Legion to knit dolls and other items for children in need across the world. In October 2011 the group was on a bit of a break, but Rowat asked them if they had stockpiled any items that might be sent to northern communities.
“I was happy to support the initiative,” Poilievre said in a statement. “What these ladies are doing to tangibly help Canadians in the North is truly inspiring.” Rowat said its part of the legion’s long-standing commitment to service. “There’s always service to (be done for) the community at large and our country,” she said. Now Rowat is looking for more knitters to donate items or materials. For information or to donate items, Rowat can be reached at 613-692-6964.

next few years. “I really think there is a need for (children’s programming). There are a lot of communities with young kids... and it would be nice to bring them in, get them used to being here,” she said. Family story times are a good start, along with citywide programs like the TD Summer Reading Club, Calhoun said. From there she can slowly add specialized programs. The biggest challenge is not demand but tapping into it in the most effective way. “You have to build it so it’s a good time and a good day for the community that’s convenient. And that requires community input,” she said, noting she’ll be talking to communtiy groups and schools to see what they need. She said also wants to increase adult and teen programming, but her focus will be on children. Calhoun began as a casual librarian at Ottawa Public Library two years ago before accepting her new role in rural Ottawa South. She spent her first week touring the branches she will lead, and said she was impressed with what she saw. “They’re great. The staff are very, very friendly,” she said. “I’m really excited to work with the staff to bring programming and the library to the forefront of the community.”
GARDENER’S CORNER
Spring has Sprung What a year ! I can’t believe how early everything is developing. It’s only March and all our fruit trees are in bud. The magnolias are ready to pop and my ducks are in the pond. We are gearing up at the nursery for a new season and have already had folks dropping by to see when we will be open. This is the first time I can remember calling my sister in Vancouver and bragging about higher temperatures. Now is the time to get out and do your spring cleaning. Cut back those hydrangeas you meant to do in the fall and clean up the flower beds. We are at least three weeks early this spring and we should take advantage. Just don’t plant anything that is tender. Mother Nature has a habit of teasing us and then reminding us that she is boss. If you can work the ground, plant the root crops ( onions, potatoes, asparagus, radishes, peas, beets, carrots and lettuce ). Hold your tomatoes, peppers, corn and squash crops for a few more weeks.
Time well spent at ottawa.ca/recreationguide

This is so exciting to get such an
early start on the season. In a few more years we may be looking at citrus. Who knows, the way the climate is changing, all bets are off. This year I’m going to take a chance on zone 6 plants. We are only rated at 5b but I’m going to take a flyer. I love to push the envelope and so far so good. When I plant something borderline hardy I always give them a little protection and then they are on their own. Go for it, push the limits. This year we are doing something a little different. We are offering anyone in the Kemptville area an allotment garden at no cost. If you live in an apartment or condo or just don’t have the space, we will give you a plot to grow your veggies or flowers and the water and advice you need to grow a good crop. It’s time for people to take control of what they put on their table and we hope to help. Call us for details at 613-314-4125 or use the email link below.

Clowning around for the love of reading emma.jackson@metroland.com
EMC news - Manotick Public School principal Andrew Nordman showed his true colours last week after his school read more than 117,000 minutes during February’s read-a-thon. The school’s junior leadership club decided, out of dozens of suggestions, that if the school were to beat its 2011 read-a-thon results of 73,031 minutes, Mr. Nordman would have to turn his hair into a rainbow coloured reverse mohawk. Since nothing motivates like your principal becoming
a clown, students blew past their goal, reading 97,597 minutes throughout the month of February. With only about 230 students in the school, that’s about 424 minutes or seven hours each. Staff also pitched in 19,616 minutes of reading for a grand total of 117,213. On Monday, March 19 Nordman invited the school to watch as he received his new hairdo, created by Manotick hair stylist Joel Anslow. Nordman looked hesitant as the electric clippers came towards him, but he said he’d “absolutely” do it again. “If its incentive for kids to
read and participate and build school spirit, then I’m all for it,” he said. And an incentive it was: Mme Weil’s winning class in the junior division had a participation rate of 95.7 per cent and her students read an incredible 1,220 minutes per person, or 20 hours each. The junior runner-up class read 837.5 minutes or 13 hours each. The primary winning class read 332.5 minutes per person and the primary runner-up read 319.9 minutes. “I was amazed when I found these numbers out. You not only surpassed the number on your own, you beat it
by 24,000 minutes,” Nordman told the school when he announced the winners on March 9. The read-a-thon is organized by the parent council to buy books to participate in the province-wide Blue Spruce and Silver Birch reading programs. “This is an added extra that not many schools in the rural area have, and it costs money. So they will not fund it unless we find a way,” said parent council member Lisa Powell. Students raised nearly $3,000. Nordman said the only question is what he’ll have to
do in 2013. “The gauntlet’s been thrown
down to see how much bigger we can go next year,” he said.

An imperfect anti-smoking bylaw
A
s the city gears up to target smokers who light up in parks, at beaches and on patios, we have to wonder if the they’ll actually butt out. The public-health aspirations of the city’s expanded non-smoking bylaw are laudable, particularly for bar staffers who are subjected to secondhand smoke when they’re on the job. But enforcing the bylaw seems like an
unattainable task. Indeed, the city’s bylaw chief told council that the strategy mainly relies on people following the rules. Unless a bylaw officer happens to be walking by when someone lights up in a restricted area, chances are low that offenders will actually be issued $300 tickets. (Tickets won’t begin to be handed out until July 2, after the warning period.) The city’s approach will
be centred on prevention and educating people about the new bylaw. But it won’t be proactive in enforcing the bylaw – people will have to call in a complaint that bylaw officers can attempt to respond to. It doesn’t take long to butt out a cigarette if you see an officer coming. And there will not be more bylaw officers on the street to help enforce the bylaw or educate people about the changes.
There is a publicity campaign underway, but it’s paid for out of the $1.8 million tobacco prevention and control program budget the city already has ($265,000 of that comes from the city). That money covers cessation programs, enforcement and more. There will undoubtedly be confusion when it comes to which parks, beaches and green spaces people can smoke in. The lawn at city hall will be completely smoke-free
after April 1, but directly across Laurier Avenue, nothing will stop people from smoking in Confederation Park. That park, along with the pathways and parkland along the Rideau Canal and many other green spaces in the Capital, is owned by the National Capital Commission, and the city can’t enforce its bylaw on those lands. Same goes for land owned by Public Works and Government Services Canada, not the least of
which is Parliament Hill. If someone is caught smoking where they shouldn’t be, claiming they didn’t know that patch of grass was city property is not a hard argument to make. That’s why it would make sense for at least the NCC to adopt the same rules as the city, but since Gatineau doesn’t have the same smoking bylaws, it creates bureaucratic complications for the interprovincial agency. If Gatineau followed Ottawa’s suit when it comes to smoking restrictions, as it did with our city’s original nonsmoking bylaw a decade ago, the NCC would have an easier time enacting a similar policy.

But have you actually been there? CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
I
t wasn’t even front-page news that Ottawa was named, for the third year in a row, most livable Canadian city. Maybe it was because of the most livable weather we were having. Anyway, ho hum. The magazine MoneySense does this annual ranking, using a complicate set of criteria that seems to work to our advantage. Of the top 10, the other nine were Burlington, Kingston, Halifax, Regina, Brandon, Fredericton, Edmonton, Red Deer and Winnipeg. Note that the biggest cities were conspicuous by their absence. In fact, Toronto was number 47, Vancouver was number 56 and Montreal was number 123. Among the factors cited in the ratings were such things as housing costs, household income (where Ottawa is said to rank highly because of high-paying, secure government jobs), crime rate, unemployment rate, climate and culture. So you can see where we would do well. And don’t forget that former U.S. vice president Dick Cheney just cancelled a speaking engagement in Toronto because he considered it too dangerous. Imagine what that will do to next year’s rankings. Ottawa gets a nod for “cultural offerings and family-friendly lifestyle.” Part of that familyfriendly lifestyle must be the ease of getting out of the city, which all the top 10 places have and the larger cities don’t. It’s ironic that part of a city’s appeal is the ease of getting away from it, but that’s a reality in this outdoors-obsessed land. Much as you may enjoy Toronto’s cultural offerings, try getting out to the country on a weekend. Out of 190 cities, Ottawa ranks seventh in
culture (Vancouver is first). The culture ranking has to do with the percentage of people employed in arts, culture, recreation and sports. It’s just as well that MoneySense didn’t know that we are losing another independent bookstore when the rankings were put together. But, unfortunately, losing independent bookstores is a quality all cities share. We are 18th in doctors per 1,000 population, 27th in low crime, 14th in population growth and 15th in new cars.Of such building blocks is a quality of life made. We are above average in all of the categories, except for affordable housing, where we are 134th, still well ahead of Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria and Canmore, Alta. We rank 36th in household income, 39th in being able to bicycle to work. We rank 65th in weather, a difficult category to quantify, you would think. But you get an idea of how that works when you see that Oakville, Ont., is the best and Thetford Mines, Que., is the worst. Or maybe you don’t get an idea. There are various sublists that are interesting. We rank fifth on the list of Best Places to Retire (Victoria, predictably, is first). We rank ninth in the Best Places to Raise Kids (Strathcona County, Alberta is first). But we don’t crack the top 10 on Best Places to Find a Job. Those cities, with the exception of Burlington, are in the Prairies. As you might expect, the lists online are followed by a number of people griping. What online article isn’t followed by a number of people griping? People who love what downtown Toronto has to offer can’t understand why Fredericton or Red Deer are even mentioned in the same breath. People who think snow is worse than rain can’t understand why Vancouver’s weather would be called worse than Port Hope, Ont. (which somehow is said to have the second-best weather in the country). People love to argue about these things. All the more so because many Canadians have not actually seen the places they feel superior to. If there’s anything good these rankings can accomplish it’s to make people more likely to visit places they might otherwise have avoided. Some of them might even come to Ottawa.

How to hide the TV when it’s not in use People have a love affair with their electronics, which play an integral role at households across the globe. Statistics from Nielsen’s Television Audience Report indicate that the average American household has 2.86 television sets, despite having just 2.5 people. It is also estimated that those in the U.S. will have watched the equivalent of 9 years’ worth of TV by the age of 65. Canadians spend 1,500 hours each year watching TV, and 128,000 Canadians have a TV in the bathroom. Though TVs are located throughout the typical household, homeowners don’t always appreciate the look of a TV and how it fits in with their design scheme. That is why many seek ways to camouflage a television when it is not in use. There are many ways to mask a television when not in use. Homeowners can explore different options, depending on their particular budget and the available space. * Furniture: Television armoires and cabinetry are some of the most basic ways to hide a TV. The unit is housed behind doors that are closed when the TVis not on and can be opened and recessed when it’s time to watch a show. These pieces of furniture can match other items
24
Remote-operated devices can raise or lower a television into position depending on need. in the room and create a flawless appeal. * Cover up: Wall-hung flat screen televisions can be camouflaged with a piece of artwork or another wall decoration. Many times the TVis recessed into the wall, and the canvas or mirror is mounted on a device that can move it out of the way to reveal the screen. * On the move: There are mechanisms that can lower or raise a TV from a hidden location, whether in the floor or ceiling. The TV can descend or ascend vertically, or a hinged device can flip the TV up or down, depending on need, much like a small LCD television that mounts on the underside of a kitchen cabinet. * Under the bed: People have long embraced the underthe-bed storage options, but what about using that space for
a TV? Homeowners who have $10,000 lying around can purchase a mounting device that stores the TV under the bed, and then raises it into position at the foot of the bed with the touch of a remote control. * Track TV: With a system of trackwork, a television can swivel out of a hiding spot in a closet, cabinet or soffit and move into position on a pole connected to the track. Both manual and motorized tracks can be installed for a few hundred dollars. * Canvas cover: A less expensive option than some of the motorized devices available, a shade or tapestry on a manual device (think the window shades that you tug and the shade rolls up onto itself) can also conceal a television. Lower or raise the shade as needed.

Spring swap gives clothing new life in Osgoode Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
EMC news - If it’s time to update your wardrobe, a church in Osgoode can help you clean out your closets and reset your wardrobe – all for free. Osgoode’s Trinity Bible Church has been running its bi-annual clothing exchange almost as long as the 30-year-
old church has been around, and it’s only getting bigger. The church’s fall and spring exchanges fill the entire church, and 350 people come through in only a few hours. The church spends the week before the spring exchange – this year on Saturday, March 31 from 9 a.m. to noon – collecting and sorting donations for the big day. Residents are

of who donates versus who takes home items. “If I have to start policing it then I quit,” she said. Hundreds of children’s and adult clothing items are available, as well as books, toys and household items. The exchange helps struggling families find what they need for themselves and their children, and allows other families to put outgrown and unnecessary items to good use, Kuz said. It’s also ecofriendly. “It’s just a wise thing to do to share what you have, and (people who come in) would rather see it go free than go into some of the clothing stores in Ottawa,” she said. The biggest challenge for the organizers is getting material sorted for Saturday, so Kuz emphasized that donations are appreciated as early in the week as possible. Items can be dropped off at the church from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day until Friday, March 30. Kuz said it’s worth dropping in on Saturday to see what you can find. “The return policy is good. If you don’t like it in the spring, bring it back in the fall and choose something else,” she laughed.

Hibernating animals are waking up from their winter slumber and foraging for food and a warm place to stay. It is natural to think that trapping and relocating is the answer, but while it is an immediate and easy fix, it is only a temporary solution. Homeowners should take action to determine what attracted the animal to their property and remove and/or repair the sources of attraction. Otherwise, another animal will take up residence once the first animal has been removed, which can turn into a frustrating, recurring problem. Wildlife-proofing your home and property is a long-term, preventative, and humane solution. Many people think that live trapping is a humane option because it does not result in the animal’s immediate death. In reality, live-trapping and relocation is inhumane, cruel and ill-advised for the following reasons:

ID#A141071 This white and tan Great Pyrenees mix dog is neutered and approximately five years old. Handsome Titus was brought to the shelter as a stray on March 5, but is now available for adoption. This extra-large gentle giant loves to run around and play. He has an independent nature and a playful mind, but he is not food motivated, so his new family will have to be patient and creative with training techniques. Titus gets along well with children (8 years and older) and adults. His owners need to know about the care needs and behaviour of Great Pyrenees dogs. He wouldn’t mind another canine pal as long as they are independent and laidback like he is, but he’d rather not be a wall flower. Titus would love for his new family to show him the world is not a scary place.

• Live-trapping causes great stress for the trapped animal, and they may seriously injure themselves as they desperately attempt to escape. • The trapped animal is exposed to the elements and can suffer from painful cases of frostbite and heat stroke. If an animal is left in the trap it may suffer for days and could die of exposure or starvation. • Domestic animals and other wildlife may harass the trapped animal causing further stress, injury or death. • Trapped and relocated animals may be separated from their young, and the dependent young left behind will die an inhumane death. Relocated animals are at an extreme disadvantage in a new environment. They have to find food, water and shelter in an unfamiliar territory. There may be territorial disputes between the relocated animal and resident animals that can lead to injury and even death. Relocated animals

may also spread disease to the resident wildlife population, therefore causing other animals to become ill and/or die. In Ontario, it is illegal to trap and relocate animals from the site where they were captured according to the Ministry of Natural Resources’ Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. Improper use of a live trap, which results in animal suffering, could lead to animal cruelty charges through the Ontario SPCA Act. Although people’s initial reaction may be to get rid of wild animals, trapping will not solve the problem. As long as an inviting habitat exists, wild animals will use it.

Asparagus, shrimp colourful combo in springtime quiche
A
s I’m writing this column, it’s officially the first day of spring. But the temperature outside is 26 C and it really feels more like July. Whatever the temperature, this asparagus and shrimp quiche is a delicious springtime dish. Serve with French bread and a salad and you have a filling meal. Once I tried a new quiche recipe when we were having company for supper. After an hour-and-a-half in the oven, the quiche still wasn’t set, and the filling didn’t look as if it was going to be set for at least another half hour. Our company was family visiting from Barrie and they were very understanding, but we were all getting hungry. Finally, I scraped the barely cooked quiche into a frying pan, stirred it over medium heat, and served it as scrambled eggs. We had a good laugh, and everyone agreed that the “scrambled” quiche tasted pretty good. This quiche recipe is a totally different one but, if you find that it’s taking a while to set, consider the scrambled egg version as a fall back.
PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff SPRINGTIME QUICHE
• 9” frozen pie shell, baked according to package directions and cooled • 1/2 cup medium frozen, cooked shrimp • 3-4 spears of fresh asparagus • 3 slices onion, diced • 1 tbsp. sweet red bell pepper, diced • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese • 2 eggs • 1 cup half and half cream • 1/2 tsp. chopped parsley • 1/4 tsp. salt • pepper to taste Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Thaw the shrimp in a bowl of cold water and drain. Cut each one in half and arrange them in the pie shell. Steam the asparagus spears until they are crisp-tender. Cut in one inch pieces. Spread this in the pie shell with the shrimp.
Scatter the diced onion and red pepper over everything and top with the grated cheese. In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, cream, parsley, salt and pepper, mixing well. Here’s a tip for putting the quiche in the oven without having the filling tip out or spill. After you’ve arranged the shrimp, vegetables and cheese in the pie shell, and before adding the egg mixture, pull your oven rack part way out. Set the pie shell on the oven rack and pour the egg mixture over the shrimp and cheese. Carefully slide the rack back into the oven. Bake at 350 F (175 C) for 40 to 50 minutes. To test for doneness, insert a knife into the centre of the quiche. If the knife comes out clean, the quiche is done. If the knife comes out looking wet and milky, continue baking for another 5-10 minutes, then check it again. Serves 4.
Salvation Army workers choose arbitration Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - After nearly three months on the picket line, the striking workers at the Salvation Army Booth Centre have decided to take their dispute to arbitration. The decision to go to arbitration was announced on March 21, 80 days after the strike first began. The unionized workers agreed an arbitrator would offer a fair judgment. “The Ottawa community’s overwhelming support for our cause, which we are so grateful for, has made this strike a success and helped make our local stronger,” said Bill Riopelle, president of the union said in a statement. “Indeed, we are moving to arbitration with confidence and from a position of strength.” The 60 unionized support staff at the Salvation Army Booth Centre went out on strike on Jan. 6 over what they called unequal levels of pay in comparison with other shelters across the city. The centre’s management presented an offer to the union back in November 2011 which included a 7.5 per cent pay increase over three years, but was turned down by union members. Negotiations between the Public Service Al-
liance of Canada Local 73100 and the Salvation Army management grounded to a halt in February, but in an interview with Riopelle last month, he remained optimistic at the possibility of returning to the table. “We are waiting for them to approach, but we are in it for as long as it takes,” Riopelle said. The centre remained open during the strike with management taking over many of the support staff’s roles. Workers expressed concern for clients at the shelter in their statement. “During the strike period, conditions at the Booth Centre deteriorated dramatically and workers are very concerned that shelter clients are not receiving a satisfactory level of care, service and safety,” the statement said. Michael Maidment, spokesman for the Salvation Army Booth Centre, said they are pleased the workers have chosen arbitration to resolve the contract dispute. “We are pleased they are back to work and we will move forward with the arbitration process to determine to contract details,” Maidment said. The workers were back on the job as of 8 a.m. on March 22.

a variety of businesses, including food carts, snow plow operators and more, but taxi licences are the only ones issued by the city that are transferable, meaning they can be resold. There are a total of 1,001 standard plates and 173 accessible plates in service, which fits the ratio of one taxi for every 784 residents in the urban regulated area, as mandated by city council. No new plates will be issued until the need increases, and any new taxi licences would be for accessible cabs only. Hanif Patni, president of the company that owns Blue Line, Capital and DJ’s cabs - Coventry Connections – was careful to remain neutral
about the windfall he could see if the cheaper accessible licenses suddenly became saleable. Patni and other industry stakeholders had been consulted on the changes, but Sue Jones, manager of the emergency services department that oversees taxi regulation, said the changes weren’t of enough interest to the general public to warrant public consultation. The lack of consultation was just one of the issues Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans bemoaned during the March 22 meeting. Deans, former chairwoman of that committee, said the proposed changes would mark a step back from the taxi re-
forms she oversaw during the last form of council. “We regulate this industry for consumer protection and health and safety of the public … and it seems the public hasn’t been consulted on this,” Deans said. “I can’t understand why these recommendations are coming forward and on what basis.” Deans is no longer sitting on the committee and therefore doesn’t have a vote until it reaches council. Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, the chairman of the committee, said the committee only has a duty to look at the bylaw regulating the industry to ensure it’s serving the needs of people who want to use taxis. “Can they get one? Is it a

fair price? That’s our role,” Taylor said. Other proposed changes include an effort to encourage taxis to serve rural areas of the city by instituting a minimum $30 fare. Trips would only be made between the rural area, which doesn’t have taxi regulations, and the regulated urban area – not for trips that both start and finish in a rural area. Other changes include reductions in the number of taxi inspections and refresher courses for taxis, a requirement to display the cab number larger and more clearly. If council also lends it support to the changes, city staff will be directed to review a number of other issues related to the taxi industry: letting cabs park in front of fire hydrants if the driver stays in the vehicle, companies that transport both a person and their vehicle, limousine licensing and prohibiting advertising of illegal taxi services.

EMC news - Starting April 2, smokers must butt out at restaurant patios and on all city properties. That includes city-owned parks, beaches, buildings and city markets. A decade after the city banned smoking indoors, the next phase of the bylaw expansion is set to make all city properties, including beaches, more than 1,000 parks and 300 city facilities, including the ByWard and Parkdale market stalls, smoke-free zones. A warning period will be in effect until July 2, when bylaw officer will begin handing out fines of $305. City and Ottawa Public Health staff have been sending letters and emails to affected groups and event organizers and visiting all restaurants and bars with patios to ensure staff and patrons are aware of the changes. Signs and training sessions are being provided to bar and restaurant staff, as well as staff who work at city facilities. Smoking on city streets and sidewalks is still allowed, and properties owned by the National Capital Commission and the federal government. “It’s a complete package we have that will make the city a healthier place,” said Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes, who heads the city’s public health board. City council approved the new bylaw on Feb. 22. According to a city report, only 15 per cent of Ottawans are smokers, so it makes more financial sense for restaurants to appeal to the 85 per cent of residents who don’t smoke by making their patios smokefree. For more information about the expanded regulations or if you need help quitting smoking, visit ottawa.ca/smokefree or call 311.

Mother felt free with first signs of spring Mary Cook’s Memories through a catalogue, which was a good thing, because Father didn’t believe in banks, so no cheques were written in our house. Not that there would be much spare cash to deposit anyway. The blue sugar bowl in the back-to-thewall cupboard took care of that issue. Every night Mother would take down the little box filled with coloured packets of seeds and laid them out on the table. She would decide which ones could be planted in boxes early and which ones would have to wait for the garden. The seed packets seemed to lift her spirits. “Won’t be long now,” she would say to no one in particular. Then she would turn to Father sitting in his rocking chair with his feet on the oven door. “Albert, you could get those flat boxes ready any time you found a spare minute,” she would say. “I want to be ready to plant as soon as the garden has dried up.” Day by day, the winter would fade and you could see the relief on Mother’s face.
The old Model T was still up on blocks. She reminded Father that it was time to think about starting it up just to be sure it had weathered the past months. She could hardly wait for the lane to be rid of its winter ruts so she could head out for Renfrew. Father, who didn’t share Mother’s optimism that winter was just about over, told of the many years he saw snowdrifts 10 feet high in March. “Well, it isn’t going to happen this year,” Mother would
say. “I just know we’ve seen the last of this confounded winter.” Every day I could see her mood lighten. She talked about washing up the mitts and scarves and adding moth balls to her list of supplies needed in Renfrew. “And it will soon be time to roll up the braided rugs and tuck them under the beds,” she would say. “Don’t need those when the floors are warmer.” One day when we got home from Northcote School, Mother was waiting at the door as usual. But that day she was fair jumping. “Guess what I saw today: a robin,” she said. “It landed right there on that little patch of bare ground near the pump platform. A robin! Can you imagine? Now if that isn’t a sign of spring, I don’t know what is.” Mother whistled all the
time she was getting supper ready. Her winter mood had passed and it didn’t matter what Father said about late

other looked for spring like a young sheep looks for a hole in a fence through which to escape. She found the winters long and she wasn’t able to run into Renfrew at the drop of a hat whenever she wanted. So she was confined within the walls of the old log house day after day. Sundays at church and the Saturday night house parties, the odd quilting bee and an occasional trip to Briscoe’s General Store was just about as far as Mother went during the long winter months. My older and much wiser sister Audrey said Mother felt trapped in the old log house with no escape when the snow was piled high around her. But now the snow banks, once sky high along Northcote Side Road had melted down and once again we could see the fields. It would still be weeks before the fall plantings would show through, but it was all a good sign as far as Mother was concerned. And it was enough to spur her on to getting ready for the warmer days ahead. The Steele-Briggs seed catalogue was dog-eared from constant nightly use at the pine table, an order had been placed and it had already come in C.O.D. The mailman handled all the finances for anything that was ordered

The Ottawa Jr. Senators faced off against the Cornwall Colts on March 17. The Colts were well represented on the CCHL’s all-star teams, but no Sens players were listed.

EMC news – The Ottawa Jr. Sens were shut out entirely and the Gloucester Rangers only had one team member on the Central Canada Hockey League’s first, second and third place all-star teams for the 2011-2012 season. The junior league’s coaches, general managers and executives vote each year after regular season to rate the best players, coaches and GMs. This year’s first place allstars included members from several teams, but the Nepean Raiders shone the brightest with forward Craig Cowie, defenseman Ryan Johnston
and GM and coach Peter Goulet all making the first place cut. Forwards Matt Robertson from the Smiths Falls Bears and Tyson Spink from the Cornwall Colts were also voted to the first place team, along with Cumberland defenseman Kevin Lough and Pembroke goalie Francis Dupuis. Hawkesbury Hawks GM Ian Henderson led the second place all-star team with Cornwall coach Ian MacInnis. Cornwall’s Lukas Hafner was voted second place goalie. Third place spots went to Pembroke GM Sheldon Keefe and Hawkesbury coach Shawn Anderson. Nepean Raiders
goalie Matt Zawadzki took the third all-star goalie spot. CCHL public relations coordinator Tony House said the teams won’t ever actually face off, but the titles recognize the season’s best players, coaches and managers. “After a regular season all the coaches, GMs and executives vote and set the all star teams based on their performance,” he explained. The league played an allstar game over the Christmas holidays, for which the players were also voted. The CCHL is eastern Ontario’s junior A hockey league which pits 12 teams from Hawkesbury to Pembroke against each other.
