Mayor backs downtown gambling house but still wants raceway casino to be considered Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - After repeatedly saying that he would prefer to see a new casino in the city’s core, Mayor Jim Watson backed a bid to ask the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission to consider a casino expansion at the Rideau-Carleton Raceway.

On Oct. 2, the finance and economic development committee indicated it supports in principle the idea of looking at bringing a new casino to Ottawa. Full city council would also have to endorse the move on Oct. 10, after this newspaper’s deadline.

While the mayor spent the week before the Oct. 2 meeting insisting he would prefer to see a casino downtown with access to transit, he backed a motion from Osgoode Coun.

Doug Thompson to ensure the Albion Road racetrack is automatically considered for expansion into a casino.

But the mayor couched his support of the raceway motion by saying it “sends a very clear signal that we’re not asking for preferential treatment, we’re asking for fairness.”

Rideau-Carleton will celebrate its 50th birthday this fall and has been home to 1,275 slot machines for the past 12 years. It faces closure after OLG decided to cancel its slots at the racetrack program.

Alex Lawryk, a representative for the raceway owners, said Rideau-Carleton intends to put in a bid to expand its facility into a casino.

“We are also ready to propose a compelling gaming model and program … to continue to serve Ottawa in a responsible manner,” Lawryk told the committee.

OLG kicked off the debate in August by indicating it wants to “modernize” gambling in Ontario, including a plan to find private developers to build casinos in each of 29 zones across the province.

OLG will be asking for proposals from potential casino developers early in 2013.

The OLG hasn’t said what the revenue-sharing agreement would be for new casinos or how much Ottawa – or another eastern-Ontario municipality – could stand to gain from welcoming a casino.

The city receives about $4 million a year in revenue from the raceway slots, but the province is cancelling that program.

DELEGATES OPPOSED

The centre is kicking off a fundraising campaign to raise mayor and all but one of the $500,000 - a cause the Labelles said is worthy for everyone who lives in the area. city councillors on the finance committee, almost all of the 32 members of the public who spoke to the committee on Oct. 2 said the push for a casino was too hasty and not based on any evidence of the potential benefits – or consequences – of a new casino in Ottawa.

Adam Awad questioned why the committee would consider approving the idea of a casino before receiving any evidence for or against it.

Watson said city council needs to decide whether it wants to head down that road before it charges staff with researching the impacts and benefits of a casino. Liam Mooney, spokesperson for a new casino-focused community group called A Better Bet, said the group is most concerned that the process is being rushed.

Osgoode Care Centre launches $500,000 fundraising campaign Emma Jackson

EMC news – Every home needs some upgrades as time goes by, and the Township of Osgoode Care Centre is no exception.

Home to more than 500 residents over the past 26 years, the not-for-profit chronic care facility is launching a $500,000 fundraising campaign to upgrade everything from its leaky roof to outdated dining room tables.

“We really want to focus on having the community support us,” said Wendy Hill, the

centre’s new director of community relations.

The centre has a long wish list of things executive director Lori Dudley and her staff would like to upgrade in the next two years. Replacing the roof, updating the heating and air conditioning system and installing a back-up generator are all more than $100,000 projects.

Replacing the residents’ necessary hi-lo specialty beds will cost $2,500 each, for a total of $245,000 for 98 new beds. New floors in residents’ rooms, where tiles are coming up and posing a safety hazard,

will cost $2,300 per double room or $1,500 per single.

Equipment like sit-stand lifts and a point of care computerization system are badly needed.

And staff want to replace aging dining room tables, bedroom furniture and decor as well – because, after all, the centre is home to 100 people.

“It’s about their safety and their dignity,” Dudley said.

The centre kicked off its campaign at the Metcalfe Fair with a free raffle, where they also collected $650 in donations.

Casino debate heats up “This matters to people.

You need to consider what people are saying,” Mooney said.

“Take the time. Do not rush into this.”

A couple delegates were in favour of pursuing a casino, including Noel Buckley of Ottawa Tourism.

“Increasing the variety of attractions in the city… will help attract more visitors,” he said.

COMMITTEE CRITIC

Longtime casino critic Gloucester-Southgate Coun.

Diane Deans was the only committee member to oppose the move.

“I don’t like being asked to support something in principle without having the evidence,” she said, pointing out that all public delegates without a financial stake in the matter opposed an Ottawa casino.

But Watson said the “horse is already out of the stable” on that argument.

The mayor pointed out gambling already exists in the capital, both at the slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway, and at Lac Leamy Casino across the river

in Gatineau – not to mention lottery ticket sales and even church bingos, he said.

Repatriating some casino revenue that currently goes to the Quebec government through Lac Leamy would boost gambling addiction treatment in Ontario and add money to the city’s coffers to help pay for things like infrastructure renewal, Watson said.

The mayor emphasized that the Oct. 10 decision would merely kick off the process, and there will be ample opportunity for public input and research as the process moves forward.

“To say ‘no’ at this early stage is irresponsible,” Watson said.

Watson and other councillors, including planning committee chairman Coun. Peter Hume downplayed the impact of agreeing in principle to investigate a casino.

“We have already said within the bounds of the City of Ottawa that we’d accept gaming,” through slots and gaming tables at the raceway, Hume said. But Deans said it’s a slippery slope.

“Once you support something, how do you back up?” she asked.

Trucks rumble down Bridge Street through Manotick every week day. Residents have long complained that the village core should not be a truck route, and now Manotick Village Community Association president Klaus Beltzner is hoping to add a city-wide truck route review to the city’s 2013 budget.

Put truck study in budget: Manotick leader Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – As the city prepares its 2013 draft budget, Manotick Village Community Association president Klaus Beltzner is pushing to have a truck route study added to the list.

While the $250,000 comprehensive study would be a city-wide review, Beltzner’s motivation is to help his own village solve its longstanding problem of too many trucks using Bridge Street, Main Street and Bankfield Road on their way to Highway 416.

He said many roads and the developments around them have changed in south Ottawa since the city’s last truck route review in 2005, and there are gaps in the system – leaving almost all trucks in the area rumbling through Manotick.

Limebank’s designation as a truck route is spotty, and the Woodroffe connection at Prince of Wales is due to be closed. Earl Armstrong has changed from a rural two-lane road to a four-lane urban arte-

rial – prime truck route potential, he said.

With the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge due for completion sometime next year, the only way to get the new bridge and its connecting roads on to the city’s official truck route is through the study.

Adding these roads, he said, will help share the load between communities.

“I’m not looking for a total elimination of trucks from Manotick, I’m looking for a sharing of the roads,” he said.

Beltzner said he wants to deal with this issue now before it grows into a situation like the one on King Edward Avenue downtown.

“We’ve already seen how bad planning resulted in King Edward being a fiasco. The people on King Edward have had to bear these heavy trucks and all the chaos and loss of life it led to,” he said.

Transportation committee chairperson Marianne Wilkinson supports including the truck route study in the transportation master plan scheduled for 2013, but Belt-

zner said he has met resistance from other councillors such as Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, who represents residents on the west side of the new bridge. Harder could not be reached for comment by press time.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt said he supports any effort to add the study to the budget as part of the city’s transportation master plan, but staff currently have no plans to include it.

“I’m trying to find out more information, and if there’s some wiggle room. It’s definitely something worth exploring,” he said.

Staff have maintained that they would like the ongoing interprovincial bridge study to be completed first, and it is scheduled for the end of 2012 or early 2013.

“The time is right,” Beltzner said.

Moffatt said any changes to the south end’s truck route would likely result in more options for trucks rather than a total elimination from Bridge Street and the village.

Hunt Club Road will be a viable option once it is connected to the 417, he said, and the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge needs to be considered.

“We’ll find a way to work with the trucking community to relieve some pressure and spread it out,” he said.

Beltzner is also calling for a speed reduction from 80 kilometres per hour to 60 km/h on Bankfield Road between Main and Prince of Wales, as part of his “program” to reduce trucks through the village.

Beltzner said a study of that section of Bankfield found that one in five, or 20 per cent, of all vehicles were heavy trucks.

“That is way out of line with any other truck routes in the rest of city,” he said, asserting that the road was not made for that kind of volume.

Newer roads like Earl Armstrong, however, have been built to higher standards, he said, and are more suitable for heavy truck traffic.

The poor infrastructure leads to increased vibrations and noise for nearby residents, which Beltzner said can cause hearing loss over time when the trucks are going 80 km/h.

He said reducing the speed to 60 km/h on Bankfield would cut noise and vibrations and encourage trucks to take alternate routes.

Moffatt said he has had some complaints about speeding on Bankfield, but it’s not supported by data and he has not had complaints about noise or vibrations.

“Some residents think I’m not listening, but I need evidence and I also need overwhelming support for the change,” he said.

Beltzner’s master plan to get trucks out of Manotick rests on making Bridge, Main and Bankfield “less comfortable” for the big rigs. Along with reducing Bankfield’s speed limit, he wants to add parking and cycling lanes on Bridge, and to turn the village’s major intersections at Bridge and Main, Main and Bankfield and Bankfield at Prince of Wales into roundabouts.

“It will give some truckers the idea that Strandherd’s 10lane-wide bridge will be an easier way to go,” he said.

City looking to let ATVs on Osgoode road allowances said.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri wants city staff to pay special attention to how the bylaw would be enforced in areas like his, where rural and urban sections of the city meet.

“How do we control the renegades in that kind of scenario?” Qadri said.

If everything goes well, the club hopes to follow the example of what it did in Winchester and expand the local trail network.

“We have these problems now,” said West-Carleton March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry.

Coun. Doug Thompson. “If we don’t do it, we are going to have more problems in the future.”

“If it’s official … then we can maintain the trail, sign it and make it safe,” Gough said.

“Right now, when a tree falls down, nobody cleans it up.

We’re going to maintain them and open them up.”

The Nation Valley club currently has 15 wardens that patrol its trails, mainly south of the city, and it already owns equipment that can be used to maintain the trails.

Overall, the club spends $15,000 a year to maintain all of its trails.

Club president Dave Baker said the club will probably end up spending $1,000 on wayfinding signs for the Ottawa trails. The club raises money through selling trail passes, running rallies and finding sponsors.

Gough and other local ATVers tried to get the city to

allow ATVs on a multi-use pathway two years ago, but were unsuccessful.

“When we lost the multiuse pathway debate, we regrouped and really thought about what we wanted and we realized these unopened road allowances are what we wanted,” Gough said. While pathways are mostly flat and smooth, road allowances are more rugged and better suited to ATV use.

“It’s not a safety issue, it just comes down to enjoyment,” he said. “This is a lot more enjoyable than a flat, straight surface.”

ATVS ON ROADS

There are areas where ATV riders would have to use road shoulders to get to the next trail.

At the moment, ATVs are only legally allowed to cross roads at 90-degree angles – not drive alongside them.

We chose solar

The ATV club has proposed a trail and shoulder network that includes shoulders along Cabin Road between Doyle Road and Manotick Station Road, and Manotick Station Road between Cabin Road and Springhill Road, and a couple other small links along roadsides.

“However, our goal is to get off of all the roads. We don’t really want to ride on the sides of roads,” Gough said. “But to do that, we need a trail backbone in place and then we can approach private land owners.”

City staff will be studying the proposed map and asking Osgoode residents what they think, but for the most part, Gough said the trails aren’t close to any homes.

The project is expected to increase the number of ATVs on city road allowances.

“Hopefully a lot of people who didn’t know they were here will come out,” Gough

EMC news - ATVs on unopened roads are nothing new, but a local group wants to be the first to make the practice official.

Ottawa members of the Nation Valley ATV Club have been successful in lobbying rural city councillors to support putting together a pilot project to let all-terrain vehicles use trails in Osgoode that are technically unopened road allowances, as well as the shoulders of some roads.

The trial period is still a ways off – city staff must research whether it’s a good idea and talk to residents in the community to find out what they think.

But the eventual goal is to allow the club to use and maintain the trails for about two years.

After that, city council could look at making the arrangement permanent or even expanding it to other areas in the city.

“For over 133 years, nobody has used them,” said Kris Gough, a Greely resident who is leading the charge. “We want to be the first to come ahead, open them up and let all residents … use it.

“It’s city-owned property and I think the city residents should be using it,” he added.

The road allowances would be open for ATVs and recreational users such as off-road cyclists or horse riders, but “specialty vehicles” such as dirt bikes and dune buggies would be prohibited.

Unofficially, though, Gough said the road allowances have been used “forever,” but the city requires a club to go through the process of getting a bylaw passed in order to officially be allowed to use it.

“I think this is an important step forward,” said Osgoode

at a wider scope.

This will not be the end of it,” El-Chantiry said. Eventually, the Ottawa members of the club might look at breaking off and forming their own club, but for now, they are a chapter of the Nation Valley group. The club has about 150 members and almost half of them reside in the City of Ottawa.

The city will be announcing public consultations soon.

City puts kennel rules on ice after uproar Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

Dynasty

EMC news - The city would be asking many rural dog owners to fly under the radar if it passes new kennel and breeding rules, one resident says.

Kinburn resident Tim Pychyl was one of more than 20 residents who came to the Greely Community Centre on Oct. 4 to poke holes in the city’s draft rules regulating the boarding and breeding of dogs and cats.

There were so many complaints and a hefty five proposed changes to the bylaw that West Carleton-March Coun. Eli 10/4/12 El-Chantiry12:28:59 asked pic.pdf to have the entire matter de-

ferred to a later date.

“I don’t believe we should be making policy on the fly,” El Chantiry said.

The agriculture and rural affairs committee will revisit the matter on Dec. 6 after city staff revises the rules.

Pychyl, who owns eight sled dogs, pleaded with the committee to include people like him – recreational pet owners who have more than three dogs.

Under the proposed rules, people who have more than three dogs or five cats for breeding or showing must apply for a new permit.

This permit is considered an in-home breeding licence.

There is a separate licence PM proposed for commercial ken-

nels or boarding operations.

A last-minute change was proposed to address Pychyl’s concern and allow people who own a larger number of pets for recreational reasons, including sledding or agility, to apply for an in-home breeding licence, but Pychyl said that’s not good enough.

“It’s a principle thing,” he said. “It’s about being part of a city that understands what we’re doing.”

If the city is drafting new rules in order to clean up the different regulations from former municipalities, it should be done right and be inclusive of all citizens, Pychyl said.

While Pychyl has always obtained a kennel licence for his dogs, many other citizens

The city’s proposed rules to regulate kennels and in-home breeders of cats and dogs drew harsh criticism on Oct. 4 and led the committee to delay a decision until December. in his situation don’t bother because their type of dog ownership isn’t recognized by the rules.

Continuing the practice of refusing to recognize sport and recreational dog ownership in numbers larger than three would encourage those owners to continue to fly under the radar, Pychyl said.

Heather Adeney, a Carp resident who owns three dogs for the sport of skijoring, disagreed. She was satisfied that the change would allow multiple-dog ownership for a sport like hers, which involves dogs pulling people on skis.

VETS EXEMPT

City staff came under fire from the audience of more than 100 people for exempting veterinarians from the kennel rules.

Patrick Hunt, who breeds Irish setters in North Gower, received applause when he said the vet exemption needs to be fixed.

Many veterinary clinics operate a boarding kennel as a side business, but they are not required to get a licence or pay a fee for that kennel. The new rules would continue that exemption.

“They shouldn’t be exempt because they’re professionals,” he said.

City bylaw chief Linda Anderson said boarding operations at vet clinics are “traditionally” used to house animals after operations, or for temporary care of animal patients.

That declaration elicited a loud boo from the crowd.

With direction from the committee, Anderson said she would take another look at that aspect of the rules.

The new policies have been in the works at the city since 2009.

What about rollerblades?

Capital Coun. David Chernushenko wants those questions answered. While bicycles are classified as vehicles and therefore banned from sidewalks, skateboards and especially longboards have no such classification.

Longboards travel faster than standard skateboards and are more often used for transportation than tricks.

Chernushenko said the growing popularity of longboards should prompt the city to look at how the rules of the road apply to the long skateboards. “They fall into this gray area … not allowed on

the sidewalk and not allowed on the road,” he said. “I feel we should be moving forward with some way of legitimizing them.” Chernushenko said he’d like to see clearer rules to tell longboarders that they belong on the road rather than the sidewalk, with similar enforcement as police would consider for bicycles. He’s happy to promote emissionfree ways to travel, the councillor said, but more clarity is needed.

Peter Clark said he has fielded at least one call about longboarders whizzing by pedestrians on the sidewalk.

Watson’s Mill welcomes whisky lovers emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – Warm up with a flight of whisky at the annual scotch tasting event at Watson’s Mill this Thursday, Oct. 11.

Sitting down for a formal evening, guests will pair appetizers from the Mill Tavern with four kinds of scotch whisky, all hand-picked by Algonquin College sommelier Geoff Skeggs.

Mill manager Isabelle Geoffrion said the event will have a more formal feel than the summer’s popular wine tasting event, which is viewed as one of the village’s major social events of the year.

“This is really more educational, because people aren’t really as knowledgeable in scotch whiskys as they are in wine,” she said.

And since whisky is often in a much higher price bracket, the event gives nov-

ices a chance to learn without having to invest in expensive bottles of scotch.

“It’s hard to get started. So an event like this is a good opportunity,” she said.

Skeggs will offer background on the four different types of scotch whisky, where they come from, how they’re made and how their flavours are produced.

Throughout the evening, guests will try the four varieties, all distilled in Scotland.

They include Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX, a 15-year-old Glenfarclas, a multi-vintage Bruichladdich Port Charlottle Limited time offer! and 10-year-old whisky from Springbank.

Tickets are $45 each, or $40 each for groups of four or more.

Proceeds will go towards Watson’s Mill programming, which is offered year-round for all age groups.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale Ottawa & Area - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection.

Poilievre undoes derby damage Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – All’s well that ends well: that was NepeanCarleton MP Pierre Poilievre’s conclusion after he helped rebuild the Manotick Legion’s shed which he destroyed during the community’s soapbox derby in August.

Racing against RideauGoulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt in the ceremonial kick-off race on August 26, Poilievre failed to stop at the bottom of Beaverwood Road hill.

Turning into the legion’s parking lot, it was too sharp.

He jumped a concrete curb and careened through the legion’s small garden shed nearby.

“I can’t claim too much sympathy, there was more damage to the shed than there was to me,” Poilievre said.

Only his pride was damaged, and Poilievre promised at the time to pay for a new shed.

On Friday, Sept. 28 he helped legion members build the new shack which houses a lawnmower and other garden tools.

The approximately $400 cost came from the politician’s personal coffers – “there’s no

office budget for that” – and Poilievre said it was only fair.

“It was my poor driving that made the mistake so I’m the one who paid the price,” he said.

But the Harper Conservative said his biggest mistake was “turning left.”

“Throughout my political career I’ve tried to avoid doing that. Now I know why,” he laughed.

He said he’s looking forward to next year’s race – noting that despite his crash, he won against Moffatt.

“That seems to get forgotten,” he said.

SUBMITTED

After damaging the legion’s shed during the Manotick Soapbox Derby on Aug. 26, Poilievre fulfilled his promise to help rebuild it on Sept. 28. From left to right: Allan Haan, Roy Blair, Winston Spratt, Paul Allen, Pierre Poilievre, Jean Lanouette.

necting sidewalks, cracks and general disrepair throughout the village’s existing pedestrian pathways.

“Several participants mentioned that cracked or uneven sidewalks were a tripping hazard. Others were concerned about the lack of sidewalks on busy roads, like Scharfield Road across from Giant Tiger,” Gadzala said in the statement. Residents have complained that businesses are not accessible by sidewalk, and that crosswalks are inadequate or non-existent.

Residents should submit photo and a brief note telling the association where the problem is and why it qualifies as the worst sidewalk in Manotick. Every entry will receive the chance to win one of several $25 gift certificates to one of Manotick’s merchants or restaurants.

Responses should be sent to mcpra@magma.ca.

EMC news - Manotick’s most pitiful paths, busted bridges and sloping sidewalks are up for debate with a new contest to choose the worst sidewalk in Manotick.

“We want to hear from you what bugs you about a particular sidewalk or path. Is it blocked by cars or hydro poles? Is it narrow or uneven?

Maybe there is no sidewalk at all where there really should be one,” she wrote in the statement. The contest is timed with Walk to School month, which encourages students to use their feet to get to class. It also fits with a list of top 10 priorities that were included in a walking and cycling report that came from a public forum the association hosted last spring.

Veterans Affairs supports cenotaph restoration Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – A community group has secured a $3,000 grant from Veterans Affairs to make sure fallen soldiers from the first and second world wars are not forgotten.

On Oct. 3, Veterans Affairs minister Steven Blaney joined Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre at the old Metcalfe town hall to announce the grant, which supplements the $4,000 already raised through a community fundraising campaign that began in June.

The core fundraising group was founded by local historian Coreen Atkins-Sheldrick, who discovered while writing her book about the township’s military history that as many as 14 names are missing from the World War 1 and Second World War cenotaphs in Metcalfe.

She approached Poilievre for assistance in remedying the oversight and the community rose to the occasion.

Large donations from local businesses quickly took the fundraiser over the group’s $3,000 goal.

Then legion member and Osgoode Village Community Association director Rob Brewster was able to apply

for matching funds through the Veteran’s Affairs cenotaph and monument restoration program.

“I’m so proud of the community I live in, that we were able to do this and it will stand for another 100 years,” Brewster said.

Blaney said his department’s restoration program is important because of its community-driven mandate.

“It’s not a $300 billion project, but it’s an important project for the community and those projects have a lasting meaning,” he said.

“Everywhere I go I face these memorials and then you understand how rooted is our military past and our history. The least we can do is take care of them.”

Adding names to the memorial and restoring it to its original beauty will likely cost about $6,000. Any leftover money will be put aside for future repairs and maintenance.

While Atkins-Sheldrick found as many as 14 names that could potentially be tied to the Osgoode area, only four will be added in the restoration project: Private Ernest Lytton Banal, Private William Edward Murphy, Private E. Thomas Henry Poole, and Gunner Arthur Workman.

Veterans and legion members joined Veterans Affairs Minister Steven Blaney to announce a $3,000 grant to help restore and update the Osgoode Township cenotaph.

Their names will be added to a new sub-base, which will be installed under the World War One memorial once the engravings are done.

Staff

EMC news – Winchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH) has been named Ontario’s top performer in maternity care in a new report from National Research Corporation Picker Canada and the Ontario Hospital Association.

A majority 89.5 per cent of new moms who gave birth at the Winchester hospital say they would recommend the hospital to their family and friends - making WDMH the most highly recommended maternity program in Ontario.

The hospital also scored in the 90th percentile in the acute care inpatient category - one of only eight hospitals in Ontario to do so.

“The purpose is to highlight excellent performance based on patient perceptions and to identify those hospitals that may have good practices in place that others may be interested in,” the authors noted.

“We are very excited to be singled out in this important report,” said Cholly Boland, CEO of the hospital.

“We are very proud of the care provided by our staff, physicians and volunteers and it is gratifying to see that our patients agree.”

The report is entitled Patient Ratings of Overall Satisfaction and Likeliness to Recommend for Ontario Hospitals: Percent Positive Scores and Associated Percentile Rankings for Acute Care Inpatient and Maternity, Emergency

Department and Rehabilitation - 2010/11.

It focuses on patient experiences in acute care, emergency, rehabilitation, and maternity.

Patients were asked two key questions: “Overall, how would you rate the care you received at this hospital?” and “Would you recommend this hospital to your family and friends?”

NRC Picker (NRCC) is an independent research institute that surveys and compares all hospitals in Ontario.

This report will be updated

by NRCC later this fall to include data from hospitals that surveyed patients, using an NRRC Patient Experience Survey between April 1, 2011 and March 31, 2012.

$1,000 from Giant Tiger and donations from several community organizations.

The Vernon Women’s Institute gave $100, the Metcalfe Lions donated $350 and

another $500 came from an anonymous donor.

It is not clear whether or not the work can be finished in time for Remembrance Day, as the group had hoped.

Preparing for Ottawa’s vital green-bin change

C

hances are your garbage day is changing Oct. 29.

If it’s not, you’re still going to have to get used to differences in the way trash is collected.

For one thing, garbage will only be picked up every two weeks, while green bin materials will be collected weekly.

Just shy of 160,000 households will soon get a letter telling them their garbage day is changing and letting

them know that text message, email and Twitter alerts are available for residents by signing up on the city’s collection calendar web page.

Typically, changing the way someone’s trash is collected is enough to start a public uproar. Residents were unusually quiet last year when the city held public meetings about waste collection, but you can expect the outcry to get louder as the date of the changes draws closer.

But we hope that cooler heads prevail.

Is taking out a green bin instead of a garbage bag every week such an onerous task?

The benefits of diverting that recyclable organic waste away from the landfill cannot be overstated. Besides building the city’s new light-rail system, closing a landfill and finding somewhere else to bury our garbage would be the most expensive thing this city would ever have to do.

Currently, 42 per cent of household waste is diverted from the landfill through green, blue and black bin recycling. The switch would push the city’s organics diversion rate up by 50 per cent (about 40,000 tonnes), incrementally closer to the city’s goal of 60 per cent before the waste collection contract is renewed in 2016.

Places like Sweden have loftier goals. That country already diverts 80 per cent of its waste away from landfills.

Complaints about the “mess� of green bins abound, but we have to wonder if those people realize that messy waste would still have to go into their garbage bags if they chose not to put it in their green bin.

For every person who has given up on recycling organic waste because they found maggots in their bin, there is another person who has never faced that problem because they learned to freeze meat waste and put it into the bin

on pickup day. The city’s website, ottawa.ca/greenbin, is full of other common-sense tips to make the process cleaner and easier.

Starting Oct. 29, people who choose to put their organic waste in the trash instead of the green bin will just have an extra week for it to decompose and cause odour.

Or, they can simply put it into a different bin. It’s just a matter of being willing to adapt.

Our civic gambling addiction CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

N

ew irritations are added to our lives every day. The latest is the fact that lottery tickets are on sale virtually everywhere and everywhere you go people in front of you are buying lottery tickets, while you wait and wait. You’ve got a magazine or chocolate bar or a package of razor blades to pay for and you can’t do it because the guy in front of you keeps buying tickets and winning more tickets and buying more tickets and winning again.

The guy could be spending his money on something that could be improving the quality of his family’s life. Then he wouldn’t be standing at the cash clogging things up for everybody else. “Winner! Gagnant!,� the machine keeps exclaiming, way too cheerfully, while he keeps buying more tickets with his “winnings� and while you mutter under your breath about the decline of civilization and wonder if you should start ordering your razor blades online.

In such small ways does gambling make life miserable for innocent bystanders. People are addicted to lottery tickets; stores are addicted to selling them. But before you spend too much time condemning these clients of the gambling industry, take a minute to look at who’s setting the example for them.

That’s right. Our governments – as hooked on gambling as the unsmiling slot-machine feeders you see in the casinos.

Exhibit A: The mayor of Ottawa and the city council – or at least most members of it – drooling over the prospect of a big shiny casino being located downtown somewhere

(and just incidentally helping to doom the horse racing industry when the slots are taken away from the race track).

The mayor and council could be spending time, not to mention money, on ways to improve the lives of their constituents. Think of infrastructure, roads that don’t cave in, neighbourhoods that work, transit, traffic congestion.

Instead, they are standing at the counter, waiting for the lottery ticket to pay off.

Carrying the metaphor to its logical conclusion, taxpayers are the ones behind the counter making the decision. Is the casino a winner or not? We can decide that, either by encouraging the mayor’s casino dream or by frightening him off it. The final council decision will take quite a bit of time and the mayor did not get where he is today by not listening to people.

So the question is, does the casino pay off for us? How does it pay off? Do tourists flock to Ottawa? Remember that some casinos in border cities have been doing badly. Do customers of the casino in Gatineau flock back?

Do the customers drop big money in local restaurants and stores or do they just stay in the casino? Are there big tax revenues to be had?

Are casinos an adornment to the downtown landscape or a drag on it?

No one actually knows. All we really know is that gambling addiction is on the rise, with lots of social costs and that a new casino is certainly not going to reduce those. We have learned, from years of watching the industry develop, that there is nothing classy about casinos. We know that casinos are not really for the high-end, fashionably dressed tourists you see in the advertisements. They are also for people who can’t afford to gamble. Are we doing those people a favour by making it more convenient for them to lose their money? Are we doing the city a favour by doing this?

Those questions don’t seem to concern the mayor and most of the councillors as they stand at the counter waiting for the machine to tell them they are winners, while the rest of us stand impatiently behind wanting them to move on and do something useful.

Osgoode Care Centre to host several fundraisers this year Continued from the front

At the beginning of December, staff will unveil a giving tree that will allow families to buy engraved leaves in memory of loved ones, or in someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name.

The tree will be displayed on a wall in the lobby, for everyone to see.

That fundraiser will continue â&#x20AC;&#x153;throughout the longevity of the home,â&#x20AC;? Hill said, noting that she hopes the branches will someday reach out along all the walls.

Hill is also planning a â&#x20AC;&#x153;unique fundraiserâ&#x20AC;? on Friday, Feb. 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; details of which she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reveal, but promised will be a great night. She said details will be released soon.

The not-for-profit facility on Snake Island Road between Osgoode and Metcalfe opened in 1986 with 70 beds, after seven years of community fundraising, development applications and construction.

Since then, the bright and spacious facility spent $1.5 million in 2004 adding 30 more beds and a number of large programming rooms for its residents.

About 80 per cent of residents come from the area, and many staff live close by, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like neighbours looking after neighbours,â&#x20AC;? said Maryann Sunstrum, who is on the board of directors and is also part of the fund-

The building features 100 single or double rooms, several large programming and community rooms, a treatment facility for doctor and

dentist appointments, pianos and organs throughout the building, a busy chapel, an indoor greenhouse, several well-kept gardens including a raised garden that residents can reach without having to bend over, and a sensory room to help heighten or calm resi-

dentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; senses as needed.

The facility runs fitness, craft and cooking programs and welcomes families to bring their dogs to visit their loves ones.

The centre is also home to an extra resident named Oreo, who lives in his rabbit hutch

in the television lounge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is, when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not visiting a resident or hiding under staff desks.

Brian and Kathy Labelle have had three family members live at the care centre, including Kathyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother Dorothy Wingate who currently lives in the new wing down the hall from her sister-in-law Alice.

Brian said the care centre has always been their first choice for family members because it is bright, clean and friendly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as you come in, it feels homey,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all one level, and everyone gets a window.â&#x20AC;?

Kathy said the staff feel more like family than employees, and treat each resident as if they were their own parent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The care, the love, the gentleness, they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do enough,â&#x20AC;? she said about their experience with Brianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, who lived in the centre before she passed away with dementia.

Wingate, who has lived at the centre since November 2011 after suffering a serious stroke, agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the closeness and the people are more like family. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get that isolated feeling,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Labelle said she feels the centre has made do with what they have, but its time to update some aspects to keep the

building as comfortable as it is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Furniture gets used, everything gets used over time,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, who also sits on the board of directors, said maintaining the care centre is important for all residents who built the facility from the ground up.

Hill is planning a â&#x20AC;&#x153;unique fundraiserâ&#x20AC;? on Friday, Feb. 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; details of which she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reveal, but promised will be a great night. She said details will be released soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the dreams that people had 25 years ago are being fulfilled now because it is well used, there is a waiting list,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great for the residents as they age to be in their community with people they may know and for families to be close at hand.â&#x20AC;?

Inaugural race day raises more than $80K ‘We were completely overwhelmed by the community’s response’: organizer Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - More than 1,000 people faced the chilly wind and drizzling rain to run the track at the Rideau Carleton Raceway on Sunday, Sept. 30, to raise funds for brain cancer research and put an end to the deadly disease.

The inaugural South Ottawa Race Day raised more than $80,000 as of midday on Sunday.

“We were completely overwhelmed by the community’s response,” said Chris Hill, one of the organizers. “This particular disease touches a lot of people.

“I think the brain cancer community was looking for a voice and I think they found it in this race. There were a whole bunch of people who had stories to tell. It was unbelievable, the number of people who had been affected and were looking for a way to get involved, and the way they rallied around this common story.”

Barrhaven resident Leslie McCarthy was honoured during the closing ceremonies for raising $5,200, the most by an individual.

McCarthy didn’t know Greely resident Heather Geddie, who was the catalyst for the event, but was driven to do her part after being diagnosed with thyroid cancer just a few weeks before the race.

“This meant a lot to me,” she said.

McCarthy was joined by

her husband Chris Levac and their two daughters, Maddison and Charlie Rose.

RACE DAY

Greely resident and Earl of March Secondary School graduate Heather Geddie was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour in 2009. She fought the disease for two years before passing away in July 2011.

I think the brain cancer community was looking for a voice and I think they found it in this race.

CHRIS HILL, EVENT ORGANIZER

Members of the community were so inspired by Geddie’s positive attitude that after her death they decided to host the South Ottawa Race Day to fundraise for brain cancer research.

“What an accomplishment for a first-year event,” said Peter Linkletter, chair of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation and a resident of Findlay Creek.

He said he’s “very touched and very proud” at how the community rallied to support the cause, adding participants came from as far away as Nova Scotia and Winnipeg.

“The outpouring of love and support…we knew we’d never be able to thank people enough,” said Geddie’s husband, Kevin.

“I would like to see others who have to travel this same road find a happier destination.”

Kevin, who sang a rendition of Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World, with the Manotick Village Singers, presented Coburg resident Danielle Provost with the Heather Geddie Community Action Award.

Provost, who is undergoing a battle similar to Geddie’s, said “it was wonderful to see all the beautiful people.”

Geddie’s parents, Don and Pat White, said it was incredible that their daughter inspired such an event.

“She would be overjoyed,” said Don. “She will help us find a cure.”

Hill said he hopes the South Ottawa Race Day becomes “one of the key events in the Ottawa race series, and that runners start to mark it in their calendars.”

The original fundraising goal of the inaugural race was set at $50,000, a number that was quickly surpassed thanks to the efforts of all those involved. A new target of $75,000 was also exceeded, with the total coming in at more than $80,000 in funds raised.

“This will allow us to support innovative research,” said Hill. “What came across loud and clear is that there are really

Sometimes the treatments are worse than the disease.”

The two-kilometre family walk/run around the oval was “unbelievably popular,” he said, adding the organizing team is looking at making that a highlight of next year’s event.

“It allowed people in various stages of their fight to walk it,” said Hill, adding they are looking at continuing the half-marathon relay.

“I have never been touched by this particular disease and through my involvement what strikes me is the prevalence of the disease and the extent to which those who have been impacted were looking for a voice,” he said.

“We’re still on a bit of a high. We’re completely overwhelmed by the response of the community.”

It’s child abuse prevention month R0011663159_1011

EMC news - Only 42 per cent of Ottawa residents claim to know how to report abuse directly to the Children’s Aid Society (CAS).

This suggests that there are far too many vulnerable children and youth, without a voice, in our community.

During Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month, it is the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa’s mission to educate the public about the pre-

vention of abuse.

“People feel it’s hard to infringe on parental rights and they’re naturally hesitant to involve themselves,” says Barbara MacKinnon, executive director of the CAS of Ottawa. “When reporting to CAS, it doesn’t mean we are going to remove a child from their home. It is about assessing the situation and discovering whether the family may benefit from support services.”

Signs may not always be prevalent in a child who has been abused or neglected. This is why the community must stay informed of the signs of abuse and learn when and who to call to help a child.

“If your gut tells you that something’s wrong, then it probably is,” says MacKinnon.

Give Workers the Freedom to Choose During the recent Quebec provincial election, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), representing Canada’s impartial public service, voiced their support for candidates running for the Québec solidaire and Part Québecois political parties. Both of these provincial parties seek to break up the country.

When this came to my attention I immediately started a campaign to give unionized employees in federallyregulated workplaces the right to opt out of paying union dues. I cannot accept a union forcefully taking money out of the pockets of Canada’s public servants in order to support political parties whose avowed goal is Quebec separation. This is not in the best interests of anyone who works in the federal public service.

For years, the constituents in my riding have raised this issue. One gentleman approached me recently to express his frustration with PSAC because they had given $5000 to support the students protesting in Montreal about tuition fees. These students were destructive and caused harm to the city, while their actions were completely unrelated to any federal workplace.

According to the Ottawa Sun, PSAC spent $1,694,900 million on political action in 2011. This money came entirely from the pockets of federal public servants whether they agreed with the cause or not. If our 186,000 unionized public servants had the option to choose if they pay dues to PSAC, the union would be forced to put members’ interests first, rather than further their own agenda.

Section two of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects freedom of speech, but we are not forced to speak. The same section protects freedom of religion, but yet again we are not forced to be religious.

When it comes to freedom of association however, some people are forced to associate. In Canada, employees in unionized workplaces are obliged to pay union dues even if they do not agree with the actions of the union.

A total of 128 Ottawa and area children visited the place referred to as the “happiest place on earth.”

EMC events – One hundred and twenty-eight children enjoyed ice cream as they watched the sun come up aboard an Air Canada flight staffed by a pirate crew as they made their way to the “happiest place on earth.”

And if that sounds like the start of the best day ever, it only got better as the annual Dreams Take Flight Ottawa trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. touched down shortly after 9 a.m. on Sept. 25.

By 10:30 a.m., children who might never have had the chance to visit the theme park

could barely contain their excitement – eager to experience everything Disney had to offer.

The day began bright and early at 4 a.m., as parents and children arrived at Ottawa’s Canada Reception Centre, where the prime minister and other dignitaries fly from, in anticipation of the 5:30 a.m. flight. Once inside the hangar, all were greeted by nearly 100 smiling Dreams Take Flight Ottawa volunteers who turned what could have been a chaotic scene into a sea of excitement and organization.

Each child and volunteer received a uniform to wear on the trip.

Children received white Tshirts, red hats, black shorts and Crocs. Volunteers received a white hat, white shirt, black shorts/capris and Crocs.

“This is just incredible,” said first-time Dreams trip volunteer Nida Kealey. “We are going to have such fun.”

She recalled how her now 18-year-old autistic son went on a Disney trip with the organization nine years ago and it was the best thing he could have done. He has since travelled on a plane 10 times and she credits the Dreams trip with giving him the confidence to do whatever he set his mind to.

Since October 1995, Dreams Take Flight Ottawa has given children with physical, mental or social challenges an incredible day where they can be carefree and make memories to last forever. A total of nine hours was spent at Disney World including meals and shopping time.

Dreams Take Flight Ottawa uses specific criteria to select children for the trip.

Among the criteria, children with special needs must represent various agencies, be between the ages of six and 12 and have never visited a Disney theme park before.

Making special memories happen is not cheap.

This year’s trip cost $195,000 and would not have been possible without assistance from organizations like Air Canada, which donated the plane for the trip and Shell, which donated the fuel. The Air Canada pilots and flight crew for the trip also donated their time, taking a vacation day to be part of the magical experience that not only included dressing up for the flight but also coming to the park later in the day to enjoy the rides.

Other corporate sponsors like Mark’s, Crocs and Bentley stepped up again to assist with clothing, shoes and backpacks for volunteers and children. And even more sponsors support the trip and the charity in other ways.

Dreams Take Flight is a 100-per-cent voluntary run organization.

Various fundraising events held over the course of the year help top off coffers so everything is paid for on the trip.

Children also received spending money to bring home a special Disney souvenir.

For some parents, the trip marked the first time their children were either away from them or travelling to the United States without them.

But, the fear of having a child gone for nearly 24 hours was not greater than their desire for them to have the experience of a lifetime.

Dreams Take Flight for 128 local kids

THERESA FRITZ/METROLAND

Land of make believe Dylan Noel Gates Bannan has some fun posing in the stockades at Walt Disney World. He was one of 128 Ottawa and area children who made the one-day trip to Orlando, Florida courtesy of Dreams Take Flight Ottawa. The organization has been making dreams come true for children with physical, mental or social challenges since 1995. The children, volunteers and media spent nine hours at Disney and experience all the park had to offer, including many trips down Splash Mountain and Space Mountain.

to a close, and all the rides has been thoroughly ridden, children and volunteers made their way to Disney World’s famous Main Street for some souvenir shopping.

Each child received $30 to find that special memento of a day not to be forgotten anytime soon.

The group arrived back at the hangar at Orlando International Airport and boarded the steps to the waiting plane before the 9 p.m. takeoff.

While the trip down to Florida had been filled with the sounds of excited children, the return trip was much quieter and many huddled down in the first class sleeper bunks to dream about the in-

credible day that had become reality.

Once back inside the Canada Reception Centre, each child received a donated Bentley backpack filled with gifts to mark celebrating their special day.

From there, they were ushered into the main part of the hangar where a red carpet was rolled out and parents waited eagerly for their children.

“This was the best day ever,” one child was overheard telling his parents.

No doubt, a sentiment shared between many other parents and children as they reunited after a long, exhausting but thrilling day.

I know many parents and students are wondering about the status of negotiations with elementary and secondary school teachers and the possibility of a strike or a lock-out. I would encourage you to visit my website, www.markfisher.org, where I have Trustee posted an School update on the situation and ongoing talks.

Four pieces have already been sold, and 10 per cent of each sale will go toward cafe owner Grace Agostinho’s ongoing fundraising efforts for Haitian youth.

She has been involved with helping orphans in Haiti for about five years, and was in the country a week before the earthquake hit in January 2010.

Having artists display their work in the cafe is good for everyone, Agostinho said.

“I always have artists on display, and I love to do that.

I think it’s a win-win situation and it’s the perfect place to expose any kind of art,” she said.

Her fundraising supports orphans, sends children to school and supports women with micro-loans.

Secret to making the ultimate peach cake filling.

In less than a week, supermarkets and grocery stores from Brockville to Ottawa were completely sold out of peach pie filling. As a result of it being so hard to find, I developed a recipe for a quick, homemade peach pie filling to use in the cake. It’s not as convenient as the canned version, but it has more peaches and less sugar.

Stir until thoroughly combined, about two minutes. If the peaches in the pie filling are in large slices, break them into smaller pieces with the spoon.

Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan, and bake at 325 F (160 C) for about 35 ULTIMATE PEACH CAKE minutes.

Drain the canned peaches, reserving the juice in a measuring cup. Add enough water to make one cup of liquid.

Combine the liquid with the flour in a small plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Cover, hold the lid firmly and shake well. Pour this into a small saucepan.

Cook the mixture, over medium heat, for three to five minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a sauce.

Cool completely. While the sauce cools, cut the peaches into pieces about the size of a walnut. When the sauce is cool, stir in the peaches.

Use this mixture, instead of the canned pie filling, in the cake recipe.

Riverside Park woman looks to shine light on blood-borne cancers Eddie Rwema

eddie.rwema@metroland.com

Last year, Maruschak and her team members had a goal of raising $2,500, but at the end of that campaign they had more than $30,000.

Her formal goal this year is raising $20,000 as a team and $15,000 personally.

“By engaging a group of people in trying to do something in common good has brought a lot of meaning to people’s lives when they are in situations that are very difficult,” said Maruschak.

DIFFICULT JOURNEY

A graduate of the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Ottawa, Maruschak worked for the federal public service for most of her professional life, until her life was suddenly thrown into turmoil in November of 2010, when she discovered she had cancer.

“That becomes one of the most difficult things to cope with,” she said.

Regardless, she said the disease has offered her the opportunity to choose what was most important in her life and to put it first and how she de-

In 2010, Lesia Maruschak was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a cancer that typically affects men in their 60s and 70s. fines her priorities.

“There is no medical treatment to pursue at this time,” said Maruschak.

She said she has been very fortunate to have a supporting family and she has been strong spiritually and that has helped her cope.

“When I was diagnosed, I realized that I was definitely less interested in just doing and achieving things,” Maruschak said. “The very quiet and the very simple things became important to me.

“My religious side, which is a very personal thing, became a huge priority in my

EMC news - Being told that you suffer from an incurable form of cancer is devastating news for someone to hear.

However, a Riverside Park woman with chronic blood cancer is putting a brave face on amid her struggle, bringing hope and working hard to raise money to help find cure.

Fifty-year-old Lesia Maruschak is a mother of two and was a healthy, hard working public servant until 2010, when she was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a cancer that typically affects men in their 60s and 70s.

Since then Maruschak decided that “Live, Act, Be Grateful” would be her motto and that she would adopt a holistic means of healing, one that included her body, psyche and her spirit.

“One of the first things that the hematologist that first diagnosed me told me was that – (my cancer) was in the early stages, but it is not like some of the other cancers where stage one would mean good

news and the chances of survival were fantastic. ‘It doesn’t work that way with your type of cancer,’ ” she said.

Maruschak is spearheading this year’s Light the Night walk to find a cure for leukemia and other blood cancers.

“Cancer is a big word, a scary word. It came into my life uninvited, quietly, and unexpectedly,” said Maruschak.

“I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. It is a challenging journey because of the type of the blood cancer that I have which is incurable.”

The Light The Night walk is Canada’s night to pay tribute and bring hope to all those affected by blood cancer.

On Oct. 13, Maruschak will join thousands of people walking in twilight carrying illuminated balloons from the Marion Dewar Plaza outside city hall to Pretoria Bridge and back.

“The campaign has been phenomenal to me, because I face an incurable cancer and I know the only way we are going to arrive at a cure is research and research comes about through funding,” she said.

MESSAGE

“This has not been an easy process, nor is it over,” Maruschak said. “I am on an ongoing healing journey where each day is a blessing, each friendship a gift. I no longer plan things for a time in the future. I choose to live now, today.”

Her message to others struggling like she is – hope.

“Regardless how difficult that journey is, we somehow value every moment,” she said.

“I try to do a better job of taking care of myself. I try to eat differently, incorporate things like yoga into my life and take a holistic perspective to living a healthier and better life.”

Miss Crosby prepares students for the world MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories enough to try anyone’s patience, but Miss Crosby knew exactly how to handle the girl who was the bane of my existence.

Marguirite never did anything bad enough to warrant the strap, but she aggravated the daylights out of me, mostly because she was the only one in her family and had the best of everything.

She had a real leather school bag, for instance, and a tin box for her lunch, items that were deemed luxuries at the time.

About once a year, just about every family in the community would have the teacher over night on a weekend.

That meant, of course, that she would attend church with the family on the Sunday and it didn’t matter what church they attended, the teacher was expected to go with them.

So Miss Crosby could be at a United church one week and at a Lutheran one the next.

What a thrill it was to have the teacher over for the night.

The house would have a cleaning from top to bottom, just like it got in the spring or fall.

buggy in the summer and the cutter in the winter to fetch her to our old log house.

That weekend, I felt so smug. I knew for a fact that Marguirite had asked Miss Crosby at least three or four times during the school year to go to her home for the weekend.

But Miss Crosby wouldn’t dream of that. No, everything was fair and square with Miss Crosby.

We all had a healthy fear of Miss Crosby, including Cecil and my brother Emerson, both of whom seemed to attract trouble like ants to a plate of honey.

Floors upstairs and downstairs were scrubbed, the kitchen was spotless and bedclothes were all fresh off the line.

There would also be plenty of food on the table.

Of course, when it was our turn to host the teacher, she couldn’t be expected to walk the five-and-a-half kilometres my brothers and sister and I had to trudge to and from school.

No, Father would take the

Marguirite would constantly bring a treat to school for the teacher. This time of year it would be an apple.

Often Miss Crosby would have an apple every day from the little girl with the drugstore-bought curls and I would watch to see what the teacher would do with it.

I never saw her eat the apple, but it would be taken home with her and I liked to think she maybe threw it away when she got far enough away

from the school, but more than likely it was put into a pie or apple crisp.

I have no idea what Miss Crosby did with the boxes of hankies, the cheap tin cans of talcum powder and the countless bars of soap she got at Christmas time, but I do remember getting a little note of thanks every year.

She would make sure the notes were all written at the same time, on our desks waiting for us. The notes were never mailed. After all, it cost three cents for a postage stamp back then.

She never seemed to have a big wardrobe. In the winter, it was a simple black wool dress and in the summer a printed silk.

She had a variety of crocheted collars that she attached to her outfit to bring variety to what she wore and she wore black laced shoes with thick rubber on the heels.

My brother Emerson said the heels were like that so that she could creep up on you without being heard.

Miss Crosby loved the king and queen and she loved the Bible. Every morning she read a scripture lesson and we all recited the Lord’s Prayer in unison.

We were supposed to sit ramrod straight in our seats with our heads bowed and

our hands forming steeples.

Heaven help us if we were caught with our eyes open.

Then we had to stand at attention by our seats and Miss Crosby blew on a little tin piece that gave us all the musical note to start on and with our right hand over our hearts, we belted out God Save the King.

Even those who couldn’t carry a note in a slop-pail were expected to sing. Of course Marguirite sang so loudly I’m sure she could be heard in Admaston.

Miss Crosby was high on manners. It didn’t matter who came to the door at Northcote School, we were expected to get out of our seats, noiselessly of course and stand at attention until told to sit down.

If it was the inspector, Miss Crosby would introduce him and we had to say, again in unison, “good morning” or “good afternoon” and repeat the inspector’s name.

When Mother said Miss Crosby was a saint, I believed her. Her salary was only a few hundred dollars a year and Mother said she earned every cent of it.

When you left the Northcote School, having graduated from the entrance class, you were ready for whatever road lay ahead. Miss Crosby saw to that.

R0011664003

M

iss Crosby was fair to a fault, yet she stood for no nonsense. Most of the boys in Senior Fourth at Northcote School were a couple heads taller than she was, but she had no trouble handing out discipline to any of them when the need arose.

We all had a healthy fear of Miss Crosby, including Cecil and my brother Emerson, both of whom seemed to attract trouble like ants to a plate of honey.

The strap that hung on the side of her desk from a cup hook was a constant reminder that if anyone stepped out of line, she would use it in a split second.

When she did, the whack was enough to raise her off her feet. So needless to say, just looking at the black leather demon was enough to keep us on our best behaviour.

Back then the teacher was right up there in importance with the family doctor or the member of Parliament and each was treated with the utmost respect.

Miss Crosby was lucky to live in the community, not like some rural teachers who had to “room and board” at one of the local farms. She could walk to school.

She also had the patience of a saint. Marguirite was

Merrickville Jazz Fest returning for second year Oct. 11

By Ashley Kulp

akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC Entertainment – Several heritage venues, restaurants and the community centre will transform Merrickville into a hot spot for music Oct. 11 to 14 as the annual Merrickville Jazz Fest gets set to take over the village.

This is the second year for the event, which has grown considerably over last year’s inaugural festival. Nine venues were featured in 2011 and that has doubled to 19.

“Last year, we weren’t thinking that it would be a tradition, we just wanted to have a music festival in Merrickville and it was quite successful,” noted one of the Merrickville Jazz Fest organizers, Peggy Holloway. “We did have people asking throughout the year if we were going to do it again, so we are.”

“We were really pleased last year. There was some really great local support as well and people bought weekend passes and came to every event last year. We hope to see that happen again,” she added.

“It was really that amazing local support that made us want to have it again.”

The concept for Merrickville Jazz Fest came out of the fact that the village didn’t have a music festival.

“It’s a good time of the year to have it as well since all oth-

er things in town are over until Christmas in Merrickville and very often we still have nice weather. We wanted to bring people into town and it worked,” Holloway remarked.

The festival offers visitors an opportunity to experience good jazz music in a variety of different settings; whether it’s taking in a smoky trio while having an intimate dinner at a local restaurant or enjoying the acoustics in one of the village’s churches.

“The neat thing for me about the festival, is that it supports merchants, brings music to people and opens up the churches to the community,” Holloway said, noting that all the restaurants in the village are participating this year.

The Village of Merrickville-Wolford has donated the use of the Merrickville Community Centre. Select restaurants may also be offering specials to visitors throughout the weekend.

Organizers added an extra day to the festival this year and it gets underway Thursday evening with two special performances: the Swing Bridge Combo at 7 p.m., followed by Mary Moore and Take Trois at 8:30 p.m. Both acts will perform at the Merrickville Community Centre.

To celebrate the opening of the festival, visitors can enjoy two performances for the

Merrickville Jazz Fest is returning for a second year this October. price of one that night.

Holloway said the lineup is solid, but there a few she is particularly excited about.

Standing Room Only will take over the Baldachin Inn ballroom Oct. 13 at 8 p.m.

Local jazz pianist Brian Browne will fill Merrickville United Church with sweet sounds Oct. 14 at 3:30 p.m.; and the Miguel de Armas Trio will also play the church Oct. 13 at 3:30 p.m. de Armas is a Cuban pianist who immigrated to Canada last year and regularly plays the Mercury Lounge in Ottawa.

“They are hot. They will put on a good show,” Holloway said.

Also on Oct. 14, the Neil Sealy Quartet performs at Holy Trinity Anglican Church

at 1 p.m. The evening before, on Oct. 12, Sealy will also join the New Orleans Days Jazz Band at the Goose & Gridiron.

“We also have two fabulous female singers from Ottawa coming to the festival. Both are playing with top notch

accompanists,” Holloway remarked.

Karen Oxorn will play Holy Trinity Anglican Church on Sunday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. Dominique Forest will play Elements Bistro on Friday evening.

Ottawa-area guitarist Steve Bilodeau and his jazz trio are also on the schedule to play the Baldachin Inn’s dining room on Oct. 12 at 6 p.m. “He’s a lovely guitar player. He called us last year but we were full, so he’s on the schedule this year,” Holloway stated.

Proceeds from Merrickville Jazz Fest will benefit Fun With Books, a local non-profit organization.

“Fun With Books has been providing books written by local authors and illustrators and it seemed like something that would support children,” she continued. “It’s heavily supported by local people such as Bernie Boesveld from Burritts

Rapids and so do teachers in the area.”

Tickets for individual performances are $15 or a weekend passport is available at $59.95.

Those interested can purchase tickets in advance at Miller’s of Merrickville, The Village Bean and The Knock Knock Shoppe, or can be reserved by calling the Baldachin at 613-269-4223. People wishing to attend a performance at a restaurant are strongly encouraged to make reservations in advance.

Holloway said tickets are starting to go and she encourages jazz fans to purchase a weekend passport to take in the entire festival.

“The festival gives people easy access to music and you don’t have to drive to Ottawa or pay twice as much.

“Please come and join us in Merrickville and don’t miss it,” Holloway concluded.

All I wanted to do was to call you quickly to say how much I love you. I left my bluetooth headset in my laptop bag. I know I should’ve pulled over to make the call. Just a quick call I told myself.

Hundreds brave rain to honour fallen police and peace officers Joe Lofaro Metro

honour them.â&#x20AC;?

Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Public Safety Minister Vic Toews referred to police officers as â&#x20AC;&#x153;heroesâ&#x20AC;? as he opened the ceremony with his speech about sacrifice and remembrance.

There are more than 800 names on the Police and Peace Officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; National Memorial Honour Roll. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All Canadians mourn the death of police and peace officers, but none feel the loss more personally, more profoundly, and more painfully than their families and their colleagues,â&#x20AC;? said Toews. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our

thoughts and prayers are with you, especially today.â&#x20AC;?

The minister also laid a wreath on the front steps.

The 2011 passing of Const.

Vincent Roy of the Bromont, Que. police force was observed at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ceremony.

Canadian Police Association president Tom Stamatakis said three historical names were also added to this list.

Speaking at the end of the ceremony, Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau called the show of community support at the memorial â&#x20AC;&#x153;out-

standing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very heart-warming when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re marching and people are applauding,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Bordeleau said 14 members of the Ottawa police lost their lives in the line of duty in the forceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the most recent one being Ottawa police Const. Eric Czapnik, who was fatally stabbed Dec. 29, 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to recognize the fact that our police officers day in, day out put their lives on the line and for that they do that for the safety of our community.â&#x20AC;?

EMC news - Droplets of water dabbed the caps of several hundred uniformed police officers who stood in the rain on Parliament Hill Sunday, Sept. 30, to pay tribute to their fallen comrades at the 35th annual Police and Peace Officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; National Memorial Day. The inclement weather wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to keep hundreds of bystanders and family members of police officers from gathering around the perimeter of the Parliament Hill

lawn to observe the throngs of officers from Thunder Bay, Toronto, and several other Canadian police forces during the ceremony.

Margaret Mills came from Chatham, Ont. with her son and daughter-in-law, both of whom are police officers in Toronto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very proud of them.

Cyr Avenue legion to host district convention More than 150 legionnaires to come out to Vanier Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

R0011639002_0927

The Eastview Branch 462 in Vanier will host the Royal Canadian Legion’s district G fall convention on Oct. 19 to 21.

EMC news - The Vanier legion is getting ready to host its district’s three day convention this Oct. 19 to 21.

There are nine districts in the Ontario command of the Royal Canadian Legion.

The District “G” fall convention consists of 67 legions from Pembroke to Kingston to Cornwall.

This year, the Eastview Branch 462 will host the convention at 294 Cyr Ave. The three-day event will welcome more than 150 members from across the eastern district to Vanier to participate in membership duties, vote on any bylaws or amendments brought up over the past two years and prepare and organize the year’s sporting teams and upcoming events.

For Leo Beddard, the local arrangement committee chairman and the immediate past zone commander for district G-5, this convention is an opportunity to show off the branch’s motto.

“We are the hospitality branch that cares,” he said.

“And we are very proud to host the convention.”

Beddard is not new to organizing a convention; this will actually be the fifth convention to take place in Vanier since 2001.

(Members will) participate in membership duties, vote on any bylaws or amendments brought up over the past two years and prepare and organize the year’s sporting teams and upcoming events.

He said he knows this year the committee is working hard to make the convention to go smoothly, but he is ready for

anything.

“It doesn’t matter what you do, you can try to have no glitches, but always something can go wrong,” he said.

Members from all the legions will be staying at the Chimo Hotel Ottawa and will be transported to and from the hotel and the meeting places in Vanier, which include the Pauline-Charron Centre and the legion.

The event will also include a march of the colours and speeches from legion presidents, a parade around the Cyr Avenue legion’s block on Oct. 20 and a roast beef dinner on Sunday, Oct. 21.

Legions must bid on conventions and Beddard said the Eastview branch bid to host this convention two years ago.

The announcement and preparations for the event only began at the end of August.

“It is a lot of work, but it is worth it,” he said.

Beddard added the Lady’s Auxiliary will be cooking up a storm to feed the members throughout the weekend.

Canada’s Sweetheart remembered in Ottawa Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Barbara Ann Scott King died on Sept. 30 at the age of 84, but her memory won’t fade from the city where she grew up.

Canada’s sweetheart was a Sandy Hill native who trained at the Minto Skating Club and twirled on Dow’s Lake during Ottawa winters, and later

“She was just like royalty, really, in figure skating.”

DON JACKSON WORLD CHAMPION SKATER, FORMER MINTO SKATING CLUB EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

achieved unmatched success.

She is the only person to ever hold the European, North American, Canadian and World championship titles and the Olympic gold simultaneously.

In the first Olympics after the Second World War in 1948, the then-teenager won the gold medal and quickly solidified her name as a Canadian sporting icon.

She trained at Minto Skating Club, representing the same club as many Ottawa championship skaters.

Don Jackson skated with

several of the same coaches as Scott King, and went on to become a world champion and Olympic bronze medalist before coaching and taking the executive director role at Minto.

He said that even after she moved to Chicago, and eventually Florida, Ottawa was always home to Scott King.

“She was always doing things for Minto when she could,” Jackson said.

He can recall Scott King accepting invitation after invitation for events, speeches, and teas with Minto skaters.

Because of her notoriety, she had to bring along a staff member to help corral the fans who wanted autographs at the peak of her popularity.

“She was just like royalty, really, in figure skating,” he said. “It was good that she came back because of the history of skating; it gets pretty fuzzy after a while … It kept her alive in the eyes of the young skaters coming up and gave them somebody to see that won a gold, that they were able to achieve it too.”

Scott King began skating at six years old, passing her gold figures test at 10 – the youngest in the world.

Jackson remembers her stellar basics in her figures test – which no longer exists – which required such accuracy that it could be lost with one wrong

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Barbara Ann Scott King is joined by Mayor Jim Watson and others to officially open the Barbara Ann Scott Gallery at city hall on Aug. 9. Scott King flew to Ottawa for the gallery opening and donation of her memorabilia from her beginnings at the Minto Figure Skating Club to her ascent to world champion. Scott King died on Sept. 30 at the age of 84. flick of the blade.

And at 19, clean basics and long training hours in Ottawa carried Scott King all the way to the major titles that catapulted her to legendary status in sports history.

She was made an officer of the Order of Canada and a

member of the Order of Ontario; she was also inducted into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame, the Skate Canada Hall of Fame and the International Women’s Sports Hall of Fame.

The Canadian Olympic Committee released a statement following her death,

calling it a loss to the sporting community and all of Canada.

“Ms. Scott’s grace and humility put her in a class of her own,” the statement said. “Her accomplishments will never be forgotten as she has paved the way for generations of figure skaters.”

Jackson said Scott King continued to be a presence in the skating community and encouraged young skaters through the rollercoaster of competitive sport.

“I really believe that she did enjoy those years, she worked hard. There are ups and downs in everyone’s careers,” he said.

“She knew that she had inspired a lot of young skaters and she certainly was the one who inspired me.”

Memorabilia from her career, including medals, was donated to city hall for the Barbara Ann Scott Gallery, which opened on Aug. 9.

Scott King made the trip to Ottawa for the opening of the gallery with Mayor Jim Watson.

“Just in her last few days of living, she came and donated all her medals to the city,” Jackson said. “It’s nice because in those days, the city was behind her.”

At the opening, Scott King said the gallery is the perfect home for her collection.

“I have always felt the collection belonged here in Ottawa … the city has always, always been so supportive,” she said “She certainly is going to be missed,” Jackson said. “But I think she certainly will be remembered because she is an icon.”

PET OF THE WEEK

OLIVE

TaquILLa

ID# A146710

Olive is an 11-month-old female, black and brown Doberman Pinscher and Plott Hound mix. She was brought to the shelter as a stray on August 1, 2012 and is hoping to find a forever home soon – maybe now during Adopt-aShelter-Dog Month! Olive is friendly and polite with other dogs and she has lots of puppy energy. She’ll need regular exercise daily to stay on her best behaviour. She’s best suited to a home with adults and teens and it’s strongly urged that she have a crate when she’s alone in the home. Olive’s owner should be assertive and help her learn proper behaviour and training.

ID # A148338

Meet Taquilla, a one-year-old tan and white German Shepherd and Retriever mix. Taquilla was surrendered to the shelter by her owner on September 28, 2012. This pretty girl loves to play outside and has been known to chase squirrels and cats, so she needs to be in a home with no cats. She needs plenty of socialization and exposure to new places and situations. She gets along well with children 12 years and older who can help her overcome some of her shy tendencies.

She comes out of her shell when she has another canine friend for companionship! Her new home should have a yard since she is used to having access to the outdoors.

the electrical device is not in use. Some dogs, cats, rabbits and rodents like to nibble on cords, which can result in serious burns and can cause a fire.

Keep certain appliances, such as irons and hair dryers, out of pets’ reach.

These appliances can produce enough heat that, if knocked over by a pet, they could start a fire.

Install a barrier in front of fireplaces, campfires, barbecues and portable heaters. It is a myth that pets are afraid of fire - in fact, many pets like to lay close to a source of heat

to stay warm. Lying too close to a fire could result in your pet’s fur catching fire; and it is possible for most pets to knock over a portable heater or a barbecue. Always ensure your pets cannot get near these items.

If your pet does get burned, put cool water on the burned area quickly, followed by a cold compress, and get veterinary assistance immediately.

Hi! My name is Don Vito and I am two years old. Like my namesake, I am the head of my household. To preside over my subjects, I often climb on top of the fridge or on the bookshelves. My hobbies include chasing strings, napping in any box I can find, and strategizing escape plots. To keep my family in check, I only let them cuddle me once in a while, but we share a bed every night!

October 7 - 13 is Fire Prevention Week - the week to safeguard you, your family and your pets against fire! And what better time to “fire proof” your pets to help prevent a disaster from happening in your home.

Never leave a burning candle unsupervised!

Even leaving the room for a minute is enough time for a curious cat or a tailwagging dog to knock over a candle.

Make sure that all cords are either inaccessible to your pets, or that you unplug the cords when

Capricorn, a few things have gone wrong lately, but the good thing is you haven’t let them get you down. Good things certainly come to those who are patient.

Virgo, achieving your toughest goal won’t be easy. Those who survive the challenges become stronger overall. This week you are certainly put to the test.

Aquarius, take inventory of your belongings and determine if there’s anything you can donate. You can clear out clutter and do something positive at the same time.

Pisces, things seem out of sorts, but you haven’t been able to figure out what is off-kilter. Leo may shed light on the situation.

Fun By The Numbers Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
