EMC news - It is all about helping children and their families.

The launch of the 2012 CHEO’s Dream of a Lifetime Lottery marked the 22nd time a community of builders and Ottawa residents came together to support their favourite hospital, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

On Sept. 17, the 424-squaremetre Minto Dream Home at 110 Gray Willow Pl. near Manotick welcomed the public and showed why it is such a wonderful lottery prize.

The grand prize is worth $1.6 million and includes a furnished and decorated Minto Dream Home with all the furnishings

by La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries, $100,000 in cash, along with a 2013 Lincoln. Topping that off is house cleaning for a year from The Maids Home Services, and $5,000 in groceries from Farm Boy. Each room of the dream home is overflowing with creative ideas, vibrant colours and modern furnishings. There is even a television in the spacious shower, barn board walls, and a putting green in the back yard as well as a clever and stylish entertainment centre in the basement. Launching this year’s Dream House Lottery was news anchor Graham Richardson. “I appreciate the television in the shower,” he said to a packed room at the dream house.

EMC news - Local conservation authorites will be taking a look at how the Ottawa and area floodplain is affected by flooding.

There are three conservation authorities working on the project. South Nation Conservation (SNC), Mississippi Valley Conservation (MVC), and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA).

The group have created a 5year plan to update floodplain mapping within the City of Ottawa to ensure this information is accurate.

South Nation Conservation (SNC) is working on three streams. They include: Findlay Creek, John Boyce Municipal Drain, and Osgoode Garden Cedar Acres Municipal Drain.

In the month of August,

staff began work in the Shield’s Creek area.

Once technical work is complete and floodplain mapping is prepared, information sessions will be hosted to gather public feedback. Comments received will be considered for further refinement of floodplain limits before they are finalized and adopted.

During the projects, the 1100 year flood flow, flood lev-

els, and corresponding floodplain limits will be estimated using the latest hydrologic and topographic data, along with established practices in water resources engineering.

Floodplain limits are determined by estimating flows at various points along a watercourse using data collected over the years backed by stateof-the-art watershed modeling tools.

Records of past flood events, news clippings, photos, and even anecdotal information can be helpful in confirming calculations and final mapping.

Residents with this type of information who are interested in sharing it with the conservation authority are encouraged to do so by contacting their office.

For more information, please contact Jason Symington at jsymington@nation. on.ca or 1 (877) 984-2948 ext.

“Over the last 30 to 40 years our survival rate for cancer has gone to over 80 per cent,” said Munter. “When Terry Fox started his marathon, most kids struck by cancer would sadly die. Today over 80 per cent will survive.

We are working towards 100 per cent. That high survival rate of 80 per cent is because of research that has happened at CHEO and other hospitals like CHEO,” he said.

Munter said that without the support of communities and donors much of the excit-

Richardson said that there were so many touching stories at CHEO. He reminded the people at the launch that as nice as the lottery prizes were, supporting CHEO was what the event was all about.

Alex Munter, president and CEO of CHEO, said, “The CHEO Foundation really is the embodiment of the support and passion that this community has for its children’s hospital.

“I have been the CEO for

almost a year now and one of the most impactful experiences for me, and it happens all the time, is to be out in the community and be approached by people who talk to me about the impact that CHEO has had on them and their families,” he said. “I hear those stories from parents and their kids.

I also hear those stories from adults about themselves 10 to 20 and 35 years ago. It is a reminder of what CHEO is all about. The premise and promise of CHEO is the future,” he said.

ing steps against cancer may not have taken place.

Also at the lottery launching was the Trinh-Derry family, representing all those families and children who have benefited from their experiences at CHEO. When she was born, Emma Trinh was found to have low levels of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen. Emma’s hemoglobin levels were going down and not improving.

Twelve days after being born, CHEO staff was giving Emma blood transfusions.

Emma’s condition is extremely rare. Her father Sang said that if the doctors had not discovered the problem as quickly as they did they would have lost her.

The prognosis for Emma is good these days but doctors are careful not to take her condition lightly.

“The whole family got a ton of support,” said Sang. “We found the doctors and nurses took the time to explain everything.”

Only 63,000 CHEO lottery tickets will be sold this year and because it has sold out in previous years, organizers are encouraging everyone to purchase early. Single tickets are $100 each or three for $250.

Reading, writing and...handwashing?

Ryan’s Well brings clean water and sanitation to schools in Ghana EMC News - In the Ashanti region of Ghana, West Africa, three schools are humming with anticipation this year. It’s not new computers that have them excited, nor a new gym or sports equipment. These students are getting new school latrines and a brand new water well.

The Ryan’s Well Foundation announces its fourth annual School Challenge Project.

The School Challenge was created for students and teachers with a passion to run, bike, bake, compete, draw, sing, sell, collect, dress up, dress down – wherever their imagination takes them – to make a difference in the world. Through the School Challenge, kids learn about the global water crisis and the fact that not everyone has a tap flowing with clean water. And just like Ryan Hreljac found out in grade 1, they learn that they can help. This year, they’ll be helping fellow students halfway around the world who lack life’s most basic necessity.

Teachers and students are invited to join the School Challenge and help raise $37,000 to build a well, latrines and handwashing stations at three schools in Ghana. The project also sponsors a school-toschool competition designed to teach health and hygiene, through classroom activities

While students are fundraising, pictures and reports directly from Ghana will help them track the construction progress and follow the hygiene competition. And they’ll see immediately the positive impact they’re making.

By the time the project wraps up on World Water Day on March 22, 2013, nearly 2,000 students and teachers in Ghana, as well as their parents and nearby communities, will be facing a much brighter and healthier future.

Since 2009, students from 70 schools around the world have raised over $77,000 for rainwater harvesting tanks in Kenya, new wells and latrines in Uganda and Togo,

tion for teachers, and hygiene training.

To join the School Challenge, visit www.ryanswell. ca/in-the-classroom.aspx.

About Ryan’s Well Foundation: The Ryan’s Well Foundation grew out of the commitment of six-year-old Ryan Hreljac, who learned of the great need for safe water in developing countries. The Ryan’s Well Foundation is a family of people committed to delivering access to safe water and sanitation as an essential way to improve the lives of people in the developing world. We empower citizens of all ages to take action and effect change in the world. Founded in 2001, Ryan’s Well is a registered Canadian charity.

recent significant failure of a key piece of city infrastructure: the highway 174 sinkhole. “The cost in terms of both dollars and quality of life was very real,� Watson said.

The money will be needed to repair and upgrade Ottawa’s $30 billion in roads, water, transit, recreation and cultural infrastructure.

None of the infrastructure is unsafe right now, but transportation infrastructure, such as roads, has the highest percentage in really poor shape, with 25 per cent of the city’s $11.2 billion in transportation infrastructure rated in poor to

very poor condition. Transit infrastructure is in the best shape, with $1.4 billion of assets rated 79 per cent in good to very good condition.

The report didn’t include detail on how the city will pay for the increases, but the options are limited: raise it from taxes, or take on more debt.

Funding could theoretically come from the federal and/or provincial levels of government, although no new infrastructure programs are forthcoming.

The infrastructure report was only tabled on Sept. 19; debate and discussion will take place on Oct. 2. During that meeting, city treasurer Nancy Schepers will also present a proposed plan for finding the needed funds, which are all expressed in 2012 dollars and don’t account for inflation.

There are spikes in the city’s infrastructure spending in 2012 and 2014 from the city’s Ottawa on the Move road rebuilding project, which shows that city council has already made infrastructure repair a priority, said Alain Gonthier, the city’s asset management boss. “With Ottawa on the Move you’ve allowed yourself a bit of breathing room,� Schepers said.

The city currently carries

around $1.4 billion in debt, which is less than the limits set by city council and the province. Schepers wouldn’t say whether taxes would have to go up, but Watson was firm on maintaining a maximum tax increase of 2.5 per cent annually.

Last year alone, the city added $1 billion in new infrastructure assets it will have to pay to maintain over the years.

When asked if the report was a wake-up call that the city should cut back on building new infrastructure and focus instead on maintaining the assets it already has on the books, Watson said city council’s focus on reining in the urban boundary was an attempt to do just that. “Obviously we’re always going to be growing, but we have to have smart growth,� Watson said. “(It’s) one of the reasons why I was fighting to preserve the urban boundary. The farther out we go, the more expensive it is. We know that growth does not pay for itself.�

River Coun. Maria McRae, who heads the city’s environment committee, said the city needs to include future maintenance costs in the “financial implications� sections of reports before council approves projects. “It’s short sighted and myopic of council sometimes,� said McRae, adding that councillors are sometimes just focused on “snipping the ribbon,� not on what it will cost to maintain infrastructure over its lifetime.

City Council has created the Order of Ottawa as a way of recognizing excellence in our community.

New library programs in Greely joe.morin@metroland.com

EMC news - Patrons of the Greely branch of the Ottawa public Library at 1448 Meadow drive are enjoying extended hours and a line up of interesting programming thanks to the efforts of library staff and special funding from Coun. Doug Thompson.

The library has been trying to find ways to increase interest and use in the local branch. The challenge was how to attract people to the library without have the budget dollars to create programming.

Thompson donated $5,000 to the Ottawa public library and some of that money will be used to bring new programming to the Greely branch.

The plan is to host children’s programs on select Saturdays and adult programs on select Tuesdays. The hours of operation on these days will also be extended. The branch will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. 8:30 p.m. on Tuesdays.

A line-up of children and adult programs has been set up with first adult program taking place being an antiques evaluation clinic this past Tuesday “It was fantastic,” said Jennifer Calhoun, the supervising librarian for the branch.

Close to 20 people attended the clinic from all over the Ottawa area.

Arranging programs during the hours that the branch is open has been the challenge for program organizers but with the extra funding programs can take place during regular library hours and when necessary they can resulting extending hours.

Upcoming programs

• Saturday, Sept. 29: Stories for the joy of it with Katherine Grier • Saturday, Oct. 6: Musical instrument petting zoo, Alicia Borisonik and Arthur McGregor

• Tuesday, Oct. 16: Blues performance by Maria Hawkins (sponsored by MASC) • Saturday, Oct. 27 Music for the whole family with the Funky Mamas • Tuesday, Oct. 23: A Screening of Surviving Progress presented by the National Film Board • Tuesday, Nov. 6: Author reading and discussion with Alan Cumyn (sponsored by MASC) In October the library plans to have firefighters drop by for a presentation and late in the month there will be a presentation by the police about fraud.

Open source ottawa.ca to relieve registration backlog Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Error screens and backlogs during swim-

ming registration on the city’s website could be a thing of the past thanks to a new platform for ottawa.ca.

The city is launching the

full new version of ottawa.ca on Nov. 19 and the site will be built on an open-source platform called Drupal. The content management system

is more flexible, so it will enable the city to “scale up” the capacity of the website to respond to peaks in demand, such as during online recreation registration that so often leaves frustrated parents refreshing their Internet browsers, information technology subcommittee chairman Coun. Tim Tierney said.

Ottawa will become one of the largest Canadian cities to use open-source technology,

joining the likes of the White House and Statistics Canada.

“It’s the new gold standard,” said Tierney, the councillor for Beacon Hill-Cyrville.

Since open source technology relies on a community of people to develop and share tools, Ottawa is well positioned because so many federal departments based in the city are already using Drupal.

In addition to making the site more flexible and able to

respond to the needs of both the city and users, the other benefits will be a reduction in licensing maintenance costs.

The new ottawa.ca site will come with a mobile version, which is built-in with Drupal.

There will also be an option to personalize the website for individual users; for instance, you could create a profile to ensure services you use on the city’s website show up when you log in to ottawa.ca.

EMC news - Garbage collection will change to every two weeks starting Oct. 29, and the city is offering some high-tech tools to make the transition easier for residents.

With the new web-based collection calendar tool, peeking out the front door to see if your neighbours put out their trash will be a thing of the past, IT subcommittee chairman Coun. Tim Tierney said.

The tool offers a searchable online calendar, as well as weekly collection reminders by phone, email or Twitter.

You can also choose whether you want the alerts to arrive the evening before or the morning of your collection day.

Information can be found at ottawa.ca/en/garbage_recycle/. As of last Monday, four days after its launch, there were more than 5,300 searches logged and 1,337 people signed up for household reminders.

Starting Oct. 29, green-bin materials will be collected each week and the frequency of cardboard and container recycling won’t change, but garbage pick up will be reduced to every two weeks.

As a result of the transition, 158,000 households in Ottawa

will get a new garbage collection day.

Waste will be picked up by new “dual-collection� trucks that can collect organic and recyclable materials at the same time, reducing the number of trucks on the road.

The changes are expected to save the city $10 million each year and were approved by city council in an 18-4 vote in April.

Some councillors (Rainer Bloess, Diane Deans, Jan Harder, Bob Monette and Tim Tierney) would have preferred to see seasonal biweekly pick-

up, which they said would have quelled fears of stinking garbage piling up in the summer months.

Switching to biweekly pickup is expected to divert an additional 10,000 to 20,000 tonnes of organic waste from the landfill, Weir said.

That will boost the diversion rate from the current 44 per cent to around 54 per cent.

But that still leaves Ottawa 15,000 tonnes short of its 60 per cent diversion target, said Bloess, the councillor for

Innes Ward.

The city will never be able to achieve that diversion target until it tackles the “ICI sector� – industrial, commercial and institutional organizations, Bloess said.

The city is currently only focusing on residential waste collection and has yet to roll out the green-bin program to apartment buildings before ICI collection is even considered.

Weir said city staff expect to hit the goal of a 60 per cent

Meeting Ottawa’s infrastructure challenge

F

ollowing the presentation of a report on the state of the city’s infrastructure last week to the city’s finance committee, it has become clear Ottawa has an infrastructure problem.

The potential consequences of this problem were brought sharply into focus recently when a portion of highway 174 was closed by a sinkhole.

While the extent of Ottawa’s problem is not so acute as the east-end sinkhole, the

report indicates that without a significant infusion of cash to increase maintenance activity, the city runs the risk, in the long run, of seeing things like sinkholes, broken water mains and collapsed roofs popping up like dandelions from Carp to Carlington to Cumberland.

We cannot afford to let this happen.

Just ask anyone who had to sit in traffic on Montreal Road or Barrhaven residents who saw watering restrictions imposed in 2011 following the

Woodroffe Avenue water main break how much fun it is to have critical infrastructure fail.

Yet despite a two-per-cent infrastructure levy that was imposed from 2008 to 2010, more than $400 million in federal and provincial stimulus cash and the $340million Ottawa on the Move program, the city is only able to scrape by when it comes to maintaining things like roads, recreation facilities, libraries and other civic buildings.

This means the city needs

to find $165 million per year, up from the $80 million it’s currently spending, to maintain what it already has and even more once new infrastructure is added by 2022.

As Mayor Jim Watson said following the presentation of the report to council, there are several ways this maintenance can be paid for: adding debt, increasing taxes or seeking funding from other levels of government.

Looking to other levels of government, at least in the

short term, appears to be a non-starter – the province is looking to spend less money, not more, and the federal government is poised to slash thousands of civil service jobs in Ottawa to get its own fiscal house in order.

Borrowing money to pay for what are permanent, ongoing needs is a dubious course of action. The need to maintain infrastructure isn’t going to stop anytime soon, so why mortgage the future to pay for it?

That leaves us with finding additional money to pay for this vital, necessary work.

This can be done in two ways. The city can raise taxes or money can be cut from other areas of the city budget.

Things like upcoming capital projects can be put on hold or cancelled, city staff can be cut or services can be reduced or eliminated to shift money to pay for these needs.

Either tax hikes or spending cuts will bite taxpayers in the end, but such decisions are the burden of leadership. How council handles these choices will have far-reaching implications for this city – let’s hope it chooses wisely.

Oh no, not more about 1972!

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

I

f it weren’t for the hockey lockout the anniversary of the 1972 Canada-Russia series would not have received so much attention. Whatever the reason, the attention goes on and on and on and it may be that anyone who wasn’t around in 1972 - a good chunk of the population - might have seen more than enough of it.

The good news for them is that it should all be over soon. September 28 marks the 40-year anniversary of Henderson’s goal in the final game. Mind you, there is still the 40-year anniversary of the plane ride home, the 40-year anniversary of the team’s welcome in Toronto, and there could be many others.

Still, for all intents and purposes it’s over.

Not that it hasn’t been interesting, especially to look at the lessons we think we’ve learned from those moments in time 40 years ago.

There was a lot of jingoism in Canadians’ attitude toward the series. Along with our love for our team went a certain amount of hatred for the Russians. That seems, if not embarrassing, at least quaint when looked at today.

We were willing to tolerate some thuggish behaviour by our team, not to mention the officials, if it was necessary to win the series.

There were also judgments made about the way the then-Soviets played hockey. They were emotionless robots, uncreative, unable to play with passion, it was said, despite the incredibly high level at which they played.

We wince at that today, with so many Russian players playing so well on “our” teams in the National Hockey League.

Perhaps you can argue that Russian play-

ers can now play with passion and creativity because they have been freed from the yoke of Communist oppression. But more likely the difference is in the way we perceive things.

Heaven help us that we should be drawing deep philosophical conclusions from hockey anniversaries, but if there is a conclusion to be drawn it is that the world and Canada have changed a lot in 40 years. That may be difficult to fathom for those who feel like it only happened yesterday, but it’s true.

To begin with, 40 years ago there were no Russians in the NHL, in fact hardly anyone who wasn’t Canadian. Forty years ago, we feared the Russians in a way we do not now.

The Cold War was at its height. The Soviet Union was a closed society. The hotel rooms were lousy and could have been bugged. The Russians didn’t trust us all that much either, although our hotel rooms were better.

Everything isn’t wonderful now, but the Cold War is over, the Russian hotel rooms are better and probably not bugged. There is no Soviet Union and there is dissent in Russia - to what avail no one is quite sure. Players from all over what used to be the Soviet bloc are performing, creatively and with passion, in the NHL, or will be, when the NHL begins.

Is any of that because we “won” the 1972 series? Maybe. Or maybe it’s because we almost lost it and realized there was something to be learned from the way the Russians played. And they learned that there was something to be learned from the way we played.

As for Canadian fans, did we learn anything? Did we learn that it was a little excessive to be as excessive as we were in cheering our boys on? Probably not. Think of the waves of patriotism that swept over Sidney Crosby when he scored the game-winning goal against the United States at Vancouver 38 years later. We are still going to get worked up over hockey. Whether we get too worked up is another question.

We’ll get another chance to think about it when the 50th anniversary of all this rolls around in 10 years. You can hardly wait, right?

Pro-intensification group starts up in Ottawa Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A new pro-intensification group is looking to get away from community activism that opposes development and instead promote creating a vibrant, worldclass urban experience in the nation’s capital.

Ottawa Urbanism officially formed on Sept. 19 with the election of an executive team and board of directors.

Around 30 people came to the Bethel Field House in the Golden Triangle to hear about the initiative.

the group.

Executive members include newly-elected president Philip Ghosh, a Centretown lawyer; Tyler Saikaly, vice president of research and proposals; Thom McVeigh, vice president of development reviews; Lucia Harper, director of communications; and three members-at-large of the board of directors: Peter Drake, Liam Mooney and Luke Schnurr.

The group’s activities are still to be determined, but will rest on its vision statement: “Ottawa Urbanism strives for an Ottawa recognized for the richness and vibrancy of its urban experience, for its quality of life, its cutting-edge architecture, and design; a city where it’s easy and desirable to live an urban lifestyle.”

core,” Macias said. “It’s about connected communities.”

Championing pedestrian and cycling issues, as well as transit-oriented development, is a citywide concern, Macias said. Even Ottawa’s rural villages, such as Manotick and Carp, contain a smaller example of urban experience and share similar concerns, Macias said.

The group’s constitution stipulates a minimum of quarterly meetings, but Ghosh said he hopes the

group will meet monthly.

The group has already discussed adopting a policy against accepting donations from developers in order to avoid a perception of working on their behalf. A few subcommittees are also in the works.

To contact or join the group, email ottawaurbanism@gmail.com.

PHILIP GHOSH

Ottawa Urbanism’s first

president grew up in Hunt Club Park, but moved to the boundary of Westboro and Wellington West in his teens – a place he said was “much more enjoyable” to live in.

His community involvement stretches back more than a decade to when he became involved in Ottawa’s youth cabinet advisory committee at city hall as the youth advisor on transit issues.

He continued to be involved in planning issues while studying as an under-

graduate history student at Carleton University. During that time, he worked for the city’s markets management team, which oversees vendors and activities in the ByWard and Parkdale markets.

He studied law at Queen’s University and was called to the bar this year.

Ghosh doesn’t have any political or development ties, but said he has maintained an interest in urban issues through his youth in Ottawa and his studies in Kingtson.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

INTENSIFICATION FOCUS

Philip Ghosh

“One of the most problematic things is the debate over planning is divisive,” said Felix Macias, secretary of Ottawa Urbanism and one of its founding members. “It doesn’t fit into the greater sense of what it means to live in the city.”

The group grew out of an online discussion forum on skyscraperpage.com. In Feburary of 2012, Macias and other founding members began meeting at the James Street Pub to discuss forming

Ghosh, a founding member and now president, said he hopes Ottawa Urbanism can shift the debate over development from a focus on height to a focus on the quality of design and how building can better integrate communities.

“We want to be a voice for people who have a legitimate view that is not being adequately expressed.”

Ghosh said he is familiar with other urbanist- and planning-focused groups in the city, including the Federation of Citizens’ Associations, and he hopes Ottawa Urbanism can find its own voice and work in conjunction with existing groups.

“We will go where the membership wants us to go, but I’m hoping to focus on intensification,” Ghosh said.

The group won’t just be focusing on downtown Ottawa.

Kerri Rossiter and Christina Leece lead a children’s theatre group called STAGE.

Children’s theatre group mixes business with fun joe.morin@metroland.com

EMC news - Experiencing the adventure of make believe, art, teamwork and performance, is something children of all ages appreciate.

The lessons learned help shape a lifelong interest in the performing arts as well as how a child views their world.

The STAGE Children’s Theatre Group in Osgoode, was created by Christina Leese and Kerri Rossiter back in 2006.

Since its beginning the two owners have created a legacy of great community memories, a never ending audience filled with appreciative parents and hundreds of proud children who have enjoyed a theatrical journey.

“We love doing it,” said Leece as the two founders enjoy the children’s successes as much as they enjoy the business side of theatre.

Now in its sixth year in Osgood the theatre group is stronger than ever and is preparing for its 2012-13 season on Sept. 27.

What started out as an attempt to help out the Osgoode Public School has evolved into an Osgoode tradition.

“We started off volunteers just o help out the school,” remembers Leese. Eventually when there was enough interest in the community the two decided to start up a regular children’s theatre. “Both of us really believe in what we are doing,” said Leese.

That belief system is what has made their theatre group so successful. The group operated with three main rules, respect, commitment and discipline. In the end children learn not just how to sing dance and act but also how to focus, get things done and work as team members.

Each year theatre group members can expect to perform in two productions. The ages of the children involved range from seven years old in the STAGE I theater group to 14 years old in STAGE II. The productions are original works created by Leece and Rossiter. Leese is the writer and Rossiter looks after the music.

The Osgoode Public School

serves as their theatre when it comes time to unveil a finished performance. “We have a very closer relationship with school,” said Leece.

There are several reasons why children at the group do so well. One reason is that the productions are custom made to suite the applicants who arrive each year. “We very much formulate the plays based on who we have in front of us,” explained Leece.

The group’s reason to be is the theatre however there are parents who enroll their children in the group not so that they can begin a successful career in the arts but because they are naturally shy and the acting experience and teamwork helps them become more confident.

“The children develop their own voice,” said Leece.

Rossiter and Leece have the ability to be able to see the theatre from the perspective of a child.

They are able to spot a great story and turn it into a performance enjoyed by all as they did last May at the annual Ottawa Carleton District School Board’s Festival held at Carleton University.

STAGE brought the true and moving story of Osgoode Public School student Eli Martin to the Carleton University stage.

Eli has Down syndrome and his rewarding experience at the school was translated into a 10-minute vignette called “Will You Be My Friend”.

Working with children is a rewarding experience for Leece and Rossiter. “Our expectations are so high for every child,” said Leece, “and they give that to us.”

For more information about STAGE children’s theatre group please go to www. stageonline.ca or call Christina Leese 613-826-0725 or Kerri Rossiter 613-826-6680.

Their email is stagekids@ sympatico.ca.

For STAGE I, the group plays drama games, explore movement, mime and voice, with grades 1 to 3. This is a six-week program meeting every week at Osgoode Public School 6 p.m. on Tuesdays.

STAGE ll is an 18-week program working with children in grades 3 to 11 on a full STAGE

production. STAGE members meet every Thursday from 6 to 7:30 p.m. from Sept. 27 until showtime on Feb. 7 and 8 at Osgoode Public School.

Another STAGE ll production group will begin on Oct. 30 with show time on April 11 and 12.

Our Conservative Government is taking action to strip citizenship and permanent residence status from people who do not play by the rules; who lie, cheat, and scam the system.

Having Canadian citizenship is an honour and a privilege, and we will apply the full strength of Canadian law against those who cheapen its integrity.

Our Government’s investigation into this type of fraud continues to grow, with nearly 11,000 individuals potentially implicated in applying for citizenship or maintaining permanent resident status illegitimately. We have already started the process of revoking 3,100 fraudulently obtained citizenships.

In most cases, those under investigation will use deceitful immigration representatives to fraudulently create evidence of living in Canada while actually residing overseas. This deception is created so that they can falsely document their status and later apply for citizenship. Investigations have found that a family of five may pay upwards of $25,000 over four or more years to create the illusion of Canadian residence.

This fraud hurts everyday Canadian families.

Those who illegitimately obtain permanent residence or citizenship status have access to taxpayer subsidized education, health care, and other social benefits without ever contributing as taxpayers themselves. It also hurts the reputation of the majority of immigrants who come to Canada by following the rules with honesty and integrity.

Over the past six years, under the leadership of Stephen Harper and the Conservative Government, Canada has had the highest sustained level of immigration in history. We are committed to creating an immigration system that brings the world’s best and brightest to Canada, while protecting it against those who would abuse our generosity.

Fall tradition of burning leaves became a family pastime

T

his time of year, we all smelled the same at Northcote School. The heavy scent of burning leaves penetrated everything we wore and no amount of airing out could eliminate the odour of our smoke-infested clothes.

But none of us minded.

Burning leaves was something we all looked forward to at our farm and as far as I knew everyone in Northcote did the same thing. None of us minded the smell of smoke on our clothes- well,

knee deep. We waited until the limbs were completely bare and then on a Saturday it was time to rake the leaves and pile them into big mounds well away from the house and barns.

“You’re asking for trouble,” Father would say. “Just one little spark and the whole place would go up in smoke.”

Mother paid him no heed, asking him to come up with even one barn or house that had been burned to the ground because of leaf burning out at Northcote.

“Well, I sure hope we aren’t the first,” he retorted every year as long as I can remember.

I wasn’t big enough or strong enough to manage a rake. So my job was to circle the mounds and with my feet, try to make each pile round, and push any wayward leaves into place.

It took most of the day to round up all the leaves and when we were finished we would have about four big piles of leaves in the centre of the yard. Of course, Mother, who made an occasion out of the simplest events, wouldn’t let us light the leaves until after the sun had gone down and the yard was in complete darkness.

Supper would be early that night; another excuse for Father to complain. He liked everything on time and that

included his meals. So by the time we had eaten, cleaned up the kitchen and hauled out chairs to circle the mounds of leaves, nightfall had settled in.

We would start out with heavy jackets on to ward off the chill of the fall evening.

My oldest brother, Everett, was always in charge of the matches.

He had the lighting of the leaves down pat. He rolled sheets of the Renfrew Mercury into tight cones, and he lit the paper, setting it ablaze. That way he could poke the paper deep into the mounds of leaves, making sure it burned from the inside out. Very clever, was my brother Everett.

We sat on the kitchen chairs, circling the burning piles, but well back from the fire, we five children and Mother. Father chose to stay in the house reading the Ottawa Farm Journal. If marshmallows were in existence back then, we certainly didn’t know about them. And it is doubtful we could have afforded them anyway. So the only enjoyment we got was sitting on the chairs and watching the raked leaves go up in smoke.

Mother always took her mouth organ out on those nights and she expected us to sing along to whatever she was playing. Emerson refused. Audrey with her clear,

sweet voice was the only one who could carry a tune and so she and Mother provided what entertainment there was.

I would sit on the chair and listen, watching the flames rise towards the sky and wonder why Father couldn’t see the sheer joy of the evening.

The old iron pump was right in the middle of the yard and although Mother said there was absolutely no need for it, Father made sure there were several pails on the pump platform just in case the blaze got out of hand. By the time the fire was raging, we took off our jackets as the heat came at us in waves.

It didn’t take long for the piles of leaves to be burnt right to the ground and I often wondered if it was worth the effort.

When it was all over and we had hauled the kitchen chairs back into the house, Father would let out a big sigh, as if he carried the cares of the world on his shoulders. He would go out to the yard for the first time since supper was over, and he would pump many pails of water, and pour it over the remnants of the burning leaves. He was taking no chances that the barns and the log house that had been there for three generations would go up in smoke.

Is your cat’s scratchIng habIt leavIng you scratchIng your head?

Scratching is normal cat behaviour, not a comment on your upholstery. Cats scratch in order to: remove the dead outer layer of their claws; rub their scent onto things to mark their territory; stretch; work off energy; and even to seek your attention when they want something.

There are lots of ways to keep your feline friend from ruining the furniture.

Manotick EMC - Thursday, September 27, 2012

You can’t eliminate scratching behaviours: it’s a normal behaviour for your cat; it becomes a problem only when the object being scratched is an item of value to you. The goal is to redirect the scratching to an acceptable object, such as a scratching post.

Provide objects for scratching that are appealing and convenient from your cat’s point of view. Observe the physical features of the objects your cat is scratching. Note their location, texture, shape and height.

Substitute a similar object(s) for your cat to scratch (for example, rope-wrapped posts, corrugated cardboard, or even a log). Place an acceptable object (for example, scratching post) near

make her less likely to use the post.

Special products for training your cat are available at pet supply stores.

If you are considering declawing your cat, consider this: declawing a cat doesn’t remove just the claws — it amputates the end digit from the paw, similar in scope to cutting off a person’s finger at the last joint. This procedure can cause substantial discomfort and complications after the operation. Declawed cats may become reclusive, irritable, aggressive and unpredictable, and may have a tendency to bite as they cannot scratch to give warning.

While other, newer methods exist for declawing (for example, laser surgery), the end result is still undesirable for your cat as it prevents her from engaging in normal cat behaviour. The OHS does not support declawing. It should be considered as a final option after you have exhausted other alternatives to eliminate destructive behaviour.

However, if you feel that you must either declaw your cat or give her up, the OHS would rather see your cat stay in her

home. If you decide that it is absolutely necessary to have your cat declawed, only have the front paws done, so that the cat can still scratch an itch, climb and defend herself.

If this is your decision, consult your veterinarian first and discuss having the surgery done at the same time your cat is spayed or neutered.

Other tips If you catch your cat in the act, try making a loud noise (for example, use a whistle, shake a soda can filled with pebbles or pennies, or slap a wall or a table) or use a water-filled squirt bottle. Conversely, when your cat claws the scratching post instead of your couch, make sure you give your cat extra praise and affection.

One reason cats scratch is to remove the dead outer layer of their claws. Regularly trimming your cat’s nails can help reduce scratching. You should clip off the sharp tips of your cat’s claws on his front feet every two weeks or so.

an inappropriate object (for example, upholstered chair). Make sure the objects are stable and won’t fall over when she uses them. You can make these objects more attractive to your cat by spraying them with catnip periodically and hanging a toy from the post.

If you cat is refusing to use a scratching post and prefers your rug, try covering a piece of plywood with carpet and spraying it with some catnip.

Cover the inappropriate object(s) with something your cat won’t like, such as double-sided sticky tape, aluminium foil, sheets of sandpaper, or a plastic carpet runner with the pointy side up.

Only remove the “unappealing” coverings (for example, double-sided sticky tape, aluminium foil, sheets of sandpaper) from the inappropriate object(s) when your cat is consistently using the appropriate objects. This will entice your cat to investigate the more appealing scratching post.

Don’t take your cat over to the scratching post and position her paws on the post to show her what she’s supposed to do. This will likely have the opposite effect and

Fall the time to bake with apples

N

ow that fall is officially here, the cool, sunny days are just right for a family outing to visit one of the many apple orchards in Eastern Ontario. While you’re there, ask the orchard staff to recommend which apples are best for eating and which types are better for baking.

For this apple cinnamon braid, you’ll need two or three baking apples.

The recipe starts with the dough cycle in your bread-making machine and finishes in the oven. Shaping the dough into a braid is very easy.

Give the recipe a try now, and you’ll want to make it again for your guests on Thanksgiving weekend. This bread is nice with breakfast, with coffee or for dessert.

APPLE CINNAMON BRAID

Dough • 2/3 cup water • 3 tbsp. margarine or butter, softened • 3 tbsp. white sugar • 1 tsp. salt • 2 cups flour • 1 1/2 tsp. bread machine yeast Filling • 2 cups apples, peeled and sliced • 1 tbsp. white sugar • 1 tbsp. flour • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff • 1/2 tsp. margarine or butter Place the ingredients for the dough into your bread machine in the order given.

Select the dough cycle. While the machine is working, prepare the apples. Mix all the ingredients for the filling in a microwave-safe bowl and let sit for 15 minutes.

Microwave the apple mixture on high for four to five minutes, stirring at one-minute intervals. When the apples are soft and syrupy, the filling is done. Set it aside to cool.

When the dough is ready, remove it from the bread machine. Place it on a lightly floured surface, cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes so it will be easier to work with.

On the floured surface, roll the dough into a 33-by-20centimetre pan. That’s about three hand widths long and two hand widths wide. Trim the edges of the dough, if necessary, to get the shape.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, grease the foil and then place the dough on it.

Spoon the filling down the middle of the rectangle, so that the centre third of the dough is covered.

To shape the braid, first make cuts in the long side of the dough. Each cut should be 2.5 centimetres apart, and extend from the outer edge of the dough in to the edge of the filling. Next, starting at one end of the rectangle, fold a strip of dough diagonally over the filling. Now, fold a strip of dough from the other side so it overlaps the first strip in the centre. Continue, alternating sides, so that the filling is completely covered.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until double. Use a ruler to measure the height of the braid before and during the rising to tell when it’s ready.

Bake at 375 F (190 C) for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. When the bread is done, use the aluminum foil to transfer it to a rack. Slide the foil out from under the braid and let it cool.

Slice to serve.

a workout for all ages Ice skating is a low-impact activity that provides exceptional cardiovascular health benefits.

Children aged 10 and under, as well as skaters of all ages at a beginner skill level, are required to wear a Canadian Standards Association (CSA) approved helmet while attending City of Ottawa indoor public skate sessions. Some tips for choosing a helmet: • Buy a helmet that fits now, not one to grow into.

• Never buy a used helmet.

• Make sure your helmet has been tested for safety (Helmet will have a CSA sticker inside) To learn more about our helmet safety requirements, visit ottawa.ca or call the Public Skating Information line at 613-580-2666.

The third Ottawa Charity Ping Pong Tournament takes place on Sept. 28 at the SpinBin at 310 Dalhousie St. in support of four charities: Do it for Daron, the Youth Services Bureau, Operation Come Home and Christie Lake Kids.

Pointing out that the volleyball charity pool was well saturated, Michael Kirkpatrick and his friends wanted to hold a charitable event with a bit of bounce to it.

According to the table tennis enthusiast, ping pong was the natural option.

Players ranging from high skilled to low-skilled as well as those with no skills at all are encouraged to participate.

The registration fee is $40 and each player is guaranteed three games. All matches will be refereed.

“Ping pong is the sport of the future,” Kirkpatrick said. “It is a sport everyone can play.”

One caveat is that organizers have asked that much like in tennis, everyone must dress to impress in the finest “ping pong whites.”

The tournament is still accepting donations with this year’s goal to raise $10,000.

But as of Sept. 17, Kirkpatrick, who is also the event treasurer, said the event has already raised $20,000.

“I am blown away by the kindness and generosity of businesses, participants and donors,” he said.

In the past, the last two events raised a total of $7,000.

Kirkpatrick credits the boost in donations to the changes from last year’s registration and this year. Those participating in the tournament this year have their own donation web page to solicit donations.

Beyond what the participants can raise, there will also be a silent auction and a table tennis table will be raffled off.

For the first time, the event has a title sponsor, Verdun Windows and Doors. The food will be provided by Manotick Village Butcher and all participants will receive an official Ottawa Charity Ping Pong wristband

EMC news - Children and adults alike will have the chance to create an earthquake, combine gas and goo to make a volcano, peer into the eye of a tornado and watch the awesome power of a tsunami at a new exhibit opening at the Museum of Nature.

The museum’s latest exhibition, Nature Unleashed, will open on Sept. 28 and focuses on weather and other natural phenomena, offering specta-

tors a look inside natural disasters. Museum of Nature curator Caroline Lanthier said the exhibition focuses on four main features, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and tornadoes, with plenty for spectators to do and see.

“It is all about learning the science behind the natural disasters and the impact these disasters have on humans,” Lanthier said. The first thing people will see is a look at the Earth. “It is Earth 101,” Lanthier said. “It is all about what is earth, and why we have

Poets’ Pathway first bilingual event michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - A local poetry group is holding its first bilingual reading on Poets’ Hill in Beechwood Cemetery.

Taking place on Sept. 28 at 6 p.m., the event will feature six readings: three in English and three in French. The event is meant to bridge the gap between the two languages by sharing a common love for poetry. Jane Moore, a committee member of Poets’ Pathway, is one of the people working to organize the event.

“This reading is really significant to us,” Moore said.

“This event is about embracing the francophone community.”

Reading their own works will be Henry Beissel, Andrée Lacelle, Susan McMaster, Diane Schmolka, Michel A. Thérien and Nancy Vickers.

“We are really excited about this event, it is really important to us to have both languages represented,” Moore said.

Poets’ Pathway was formed in 2003 and seeks to create a “pathway” from one end of the city to the other.

Britannia Beach marks the start and western end of the pathway. Thanks to the support of through support from management at Beechwood Cemetery; Poets’ Hill was created in 2005, marking the east-

ern terminus of the pathway.

The 35 kilometre path winds its way through the city and includes 12 different walks. The organization is also supported by the city and has placed seven plaques marking significant spots along the route featuring verses by Canadian poets.

Moore said the plaques are a significant part of what they want to accomplish as an organization and are always trying to come up with different ways to reach out to the community to inspire a love for poetry, build a strong membership and find more ways to fund its projects.

Aside from poetry readings, the organization holds walks, bike rides, concerts and garden parties throughout the year in an effort to raise the awareness and money to be able to place plaques along the pathway.

The next step for the organization is to erect the next two plaques, one in English,

by Archibald Lampman and one in French by Alfred Garneau in the city-owned portion of Stanely Park.

Moore attended the New Edinburgh Community Alliance meeting on Sept. 17 to seek support and to announce the placement of the plaques in the park.

The alliance has written a letter to the city in support of the project. “New Edinburgh

has much of historic interest.

“Our section of the pathway will become part of the walk-

ing tour of the district, self guided or conducted in collaboration with Heritage Ottawa.

“It will be like you are standing where they imagined what to write,” she said.

We see the addition of Poet’s Pathway as a way to speak to the heart of the Canadian experience.”Both plaques will have poems directly linked to the Rideau River and the Ottawa River, which Moore finds very exciting.
