Student cookbook a winner with critics Kelly Kent kkent@metroland.com

Students at Greely Elementary School have cooked up an award-winning idea.

As part of the Entrepreneurial Adventure program with The Learning Partnership of Canada, Lisa Allen’s Grade 5/6 class this year undertook a business project that resulted in the creation of their Youth Helping Youth Community

Cookbook. It was an idea that recently earned them a BMO (Bank of Montreal) National Student Innovation Award for Impact.

“It is really quite an accomplishment to win one of these awards,” said Betty Weil, Ottawa’s program manager for the Entrepreneurial Adventure program.

“There are only 10 of these awards given out across the country.”

Slot workers back on the job Kelly Kent kkent@metroland.com

After more than five months of negotiations, slots workers have returned to their jobs at the Rideau Carleton Raceway.

The 124 workers who were locked out in December were welcomed back to work on June 2 after their union, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) reached a collective agreement on May 27.

“We agreed to agree on the stuff that we agreed on,” said Larry Rousseau, regional executive vice president for PSAC. Workers were locked out in December when the union and OLG could not reach a collective agreement. Workers have spent the past five months rallying for fair wages and protected pensions, and Rousseau said their efforts were worthwhile.

Rousseau said the two parties have reached an agreement on the workers’ pension language by including it as a memorandum of understanding that states “OLG will continue to keep everyone on Ontario’s pension plan – the government’s – for as long as OLG owns the site (the Raceway).”

“It’s not exactly what we wanted – we would have preferred it be in the collective agreement – but it’s there and that’s good,” Rousseau said.

The negotiations for wages are slightly

more complicated. Over the term of the five-year collective agreement, PSAC and OLG have settled the first three years of wage increases. OLG has agreed to wage increases of 1.75 per cent in the first year, with no increases in years two and three.

It’s the final two years and a lump sum payment deal that have been sent to a third party arbitrator for a decision. PSAC’s offer is for a two per cent wage increase in year four and a three per cent hike in year five with a $5,000 lump sum. OLG’s offer is for a 1.75 per cent increase in year four, nothing in year five and a $2,800 lump sum.

Rousseau said it is now in the hands of the arbitrator to decide which offer will stand.

“The arbitrator will choose either PSAC’s offer or OLG’s offer,” he said. “It’s black or white.”

Representatives from OLG declined to comment on the return of the workers, but issued a statement on May 30.

“The slots facility will return to regular 24/7 business hours as of noon on Monday, June 6,” the release states. “OLG would like to thank our customers for their continued patronage throughout the labour disruption.”

END OF THE ROAD

Rousseau said that the vast majority of the 124 workers who have struggled for the past five months are happy the process is over, but that there is still a lot of frustration.

Pickets and signage came down immediately following the agreement, but Rousseau said there is still some “post-strike stress” for employees.

“It’s not where anyone wanted to be,” he said of the five-month hiatus from work.

“I am very happy and relieved it is over,”

Petition circulating to support creation of new four-way stop Petitions helpful, but not whole solution: Coun. Moffatt Kelly Kent kkent@metroland.com

A petition is circulating in Manotick in the hopes that 200 signatures will help convince city council to update a potentially dangerous intersection in a residential neighbourhood.

Members of the Manotick Village Community Association (MVCA) are hoping to obtain 200 local signatures in order to help create a four-way stop at the intersection of Van Vliet Road and South River Drive in Manotick. The intersection is currently a dangerous one, said Klaus Beltzner, president of the MVCA, and is in desperate need of a change.

“It’s dangerous right

now,” he said. “It’s a safety concern for sure.”

The intersection at Van Vliet Road and South River Drive currently has a twoway stop on Van Vliet. This goes against the Highway Traffic Act, Beltzner said, and should be flipped to have the stops on the lessbusy South River Drive.

The problem occurred when Van Vliet, which was originally a simple residential street, was punched out to connect with Bridge Street. This transformed Van Vliet into a collector road for the neighbourhood and increased traffic. South River Drive, subsequently, downgraded to a less trafficheavy residential street itself.

According to Beltzner, the Highway Traffic Act states that it is the less busy road – South River Drive – and not the collector road – Van Vliet – that should have the stop.

Because of this, the city has full rights to switch the existing two-way stop to South River Drive. However, Beltzner said Coun. Scott Moffatt is wary of making the switch because it could increase speeding on Van Vliet.

Right now, the intersection is dangerous because of people’s expectations, Beltzner said.

Drivers expect the quieter residential street to have a stop sign as well, and often continue through the intersection on the assumption that the oncoming vehicles will stop. This has caused quite a few near misses, he said.

The solution would be to turn the intersection into a four-way stop and have traffic on both roads halt before continuing through. However, Moffatt said it’s going to take more than a petition to solve this problem correctly.

Moffatt has explored the options to control traffic flow at the intersection in question but has found that the city has no policy obligations to add a four-way stop.

“Traffic volumes are low and will never be higher,” he said in explanation.

Still, Moffatt said he agrees that something should be done. His plan is to canvas the 200 or so homes in the area to collect opinions and get a strong idea of what the community wants to see.

“I want the community to be involved in the decision,” he said. “It’s going to take some time, but it’s the right thing to do.”

He added that while a pe-

tition might be a useful tool in determining whether the community wants a fourway stop or not, it is not useful in brainstorming ideas to

control traffic flow overall.

“I would prefer to have real input,” he said, “and in my opinion a piece of paper doesn’t do that.”

Greely Elementary students win national innovation award Continued from the front

The award-winning students were surprised with their success at the official ceremony on May 30 at the Canadian Museum of Nature.

“They had no idea what was coming,” said Alexandra Vasilas, the school’s principal.

The BMO National Student Innovation Awards are given out annually to participating classes that have demonstrated excellence in creativity, team work, enterprising spirit, impact or have won the hearts of the judges in the judges’ choice category. Only two awards are given out in each category, for a total of 10 national awards.

There are 13 regions across Canada that participate in the program, encompassing hundreds of schools that receive nominations for awards.

That Greely Elementary School won one of the two awards in the impact category is no small feat, Weil said.

“We are so proud of the

area at Greely Elementary, perhaps complete with a 3D printer.

“They should be very proud of themselves,” Weil said of the students.

HONOURABLE MENTION

COURTESY DREAM LOVE GROW

Students at Greely Elementary School have won a BMO (Bank of Montreal) National Student Innovation Award for Impact for their work creating their Youth Helping Youth Community Cookbook. The award is one of only 10 given out across Canada each year. students,” she said. “They did such a good job.”

In order to create their award-winning cookbook, students at Greely Elementary School worked with a local business person to execute all the steps necessary for creating a product or a service: developing a business plan,

drafting a budget, looking at profit margins, marketing and more. Coincidentally, Allen’s class chose to provide both a product and a service with their cookbook.

Students gathered recipes from community members for the book, and also included mental health informa-

tion. School principal Vasilas said the students also hosted a successful Paint Nite event to boost their fundraising potential.

All in all, the class raised around $2,000 for their chosen charity: Do It for Daron (DIFD). DIFD is a local organization that helps raise

awareness of mental health in youth, hence the cookbook’s title: Youth Helping Youth.

The students’ prize as firstplace winners is not only glory, but a $500 fund for their school. Vasilas said the plan is to use the funds to kick start a creative maker space

Greely Elementary School is not the only local school with serious entrepreneurial potential.

Students in Melanie Rodney’s class at Manotick Public School also participated in the Entrepreneurial Adventure program this year and attended the award ceremony on May 30.

Though they didn’t win an award, they raised a welcomed donation of $750 for DIFD as well.

The students focused their project on making and selling bead bracelets in the school in the colours of royal blue and yellow.

“They had a good time and learned a lot,” said Ann Bonacci, the business partner who worked with the school.

“That is what it’s all about.”

Watson’s Mill gears up for new concert series this summer Fifty Five Twenty Five Music Festival features six artists over two weeks Kelly Kent kkent@metroland.com

Watson’s Mill is arguably already one of the busiest organizations in Manotick during the summer months, but they’ve managed to squeeze in another new event this season.

For the first time this year, Watson’s Mill is hosting the Fifty Five TwentyFive Music Festival – a two-week concert series taking place in June and August.

“The Mill always does some sort of music event every year,” said Elaine Eagen, programming and visitor experience officer, “but this year we wanted to come at it from a different angle and do something different.”

Instead of holding one

or two music events during the season, like they did last year with Duelling Pianos, Watson’s Mill will host six artists in two concert series events this summer.

Under the banner of the Fifty Five Twenty-Five festival – significant because the concerts take place at the Mill at 5525 Dickinson St. – Eagen said the hope is that the concert series will become an annual affair.

The first series of 2016 runs over three days between Tuesday, June 14, and Thursday, June 16.

First, the Mill will host Lynn Miles on June 14. On June 15, Vince Halfhide will perform. Finally, on June 16, guests can enjoy a show by Terry Gillespie.

“All of them are amazing musicians and they all have their own sounds,” Eagen said.

The second and final series of concerts will also run over three days between Tuesday, Aug. 16, and Thursday, Aug. 18.

The Mill will host the Tyler Kealey Trio on Aug. 16,

Watson’s Mill will host for the first time this year their new Fifty Five Twenty-Five Music Festival - a two-week concert series featuring six different artists to be held in June and August.

Kathryn Briggs and Terry Tufts on Aug. 17 and Suzie Vinnick on Aug. 18.

All of the shows will be inside at Watson’s Mill, with doors opening at 7 p.m.

Tickets are available for individual or family rates and can be purchased for a single show or in packages.

Single-show tickets are $30 each, or guests can pick three of the six shows for $80 or see all six for $150.

Alternatively, families can purchase group tickets in a similar fashion: $80 for a single show, $225 for three or $400 for all six concerts. Tickets are available at Watson’s Mill or at Manotick Office Pro. Eagen said the Fifty Five Twenty-Five Music Festival is sure to be a hit with both adults and kids.

“We try every year to have new events or revamp old ones,” Eagen said, “and I think this (event) is a good example of that.”

More information about the festival can be found at www.watsonsmill.com.

It’s good to think big for 150th birthday

I

t’ll be a big day when Canada turns 150.

And we should be thankful that the people in charge of the party are thinking big.

Subterranean sound and light shows are coming. The list of entertainment options keeps growing.

Announcements of new ideas continue week by week, month by month. The folks in charge are not holding back, and we’re lucky to live here in the capital, where the biggest party in the country will take place.

Last week saw the announcement of a massive entertainment idea: a giant dragon and a spider that will chill anyone with arachnophobia. The dragon even breathes fire.

The giant wildlife will turn some of Ottawa’s streets into art galleries. They’ll be very public galleries; easily accessible to all. That makes it a great idea.

Canada’s 150th birthday – to be celebrated throughout 2017 – needs to incorporate as many free events as possible. It’s a Canadian value to share.

It will take lots of tax money to put on the party, but we’ll all be able to enjoy the activities,

no matter who we are or where we come from.

Anyone who laments the tax spending should consider the organizing committee’s estimate that the party will boost tourism across Canada, all while generating jobs. As well, there are millions of dollars in private funding going towards the nation’s milestone birthday bash.

The committee estimates a large economic impact for the city, province and country, projecting it will have more than a $230 million impact on GDP and generate more than 3,000 jobs for the province.

The celebrations will stretch throughout 2017, and will take place in cities and towns, spreading the economic impact far and wide.

So far the signs from organizers here in Ottawa are promising. Parliament Hill and the streets of this city are excellent venues that ensure everyone can get a look at the shows, the dragons and any spiders on the prowl. “It will change the way people view Ottawa,� said Ottawa 2017 executive director Guy Laflamme.

Ottawans should look forward to more announcements from the committee. The last task?

Someone will have to bake a VERY big cake.

Technology challenges everyday ethics

L

et’s count up the things the Internet has brought us since it began impacting our lives, roughly 20 years ago: Scams, online bullying, a vast increase in racist and insulting comments, pornography, hacking of personal, corporate and governmental websites, easier plagiarism, computer viruses, selfies, diminished incomes for writers and musicians, texting while driving, the death of independent bookstores, the impending death of privacy, the possible death of print journalism, and the near-death of attention spans.

That may not be a complete list.

But we can’t go back. Humans being humans, we never do. That would not be progress.

And the Internet has brought us positives as well, such as access to real information, assistance with

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town health and travel issues, the ability to communicate instantly with friends and family, baseball box scores at any hour of the night and instant answers to trivia questions, such as: who played Ernie and Bert in It’s a Wonderful Life?

For many, there is a balance between the pros and cons. After all, it is possible to stay away from many of the evils of the Internet.

Just don’t click on stuff. We can communicate with our cousins and decline to communicate with the guy offering to give us a million dollars.

Still, every once in a while comes an event that makes you wonder. This time it’s the grabbing of tickets for the Tragically Hip farewell tour. Many Canadians are fans of the band and are even more involved in this tour because of the incurable brain cancer of its lead singer, Gord Downie. They went through their usual Internet moves as soon as tickets went on sale, only to find that they had been scooped up by scalpers, who then offered them for exorbitant mark-up prices on reseller sites.

There has been public outrage, justified. This sort of thing has happened before, but the poignancy of this particular tour has intensified public anger.

There are demands for action.

People want government to do something. But government has tried. Scalping used to be illegal in

Ontario. There is a newer law that sort of discourages it but doesn’t quite abolish it, as we have seen.

How would a law work? Could it eliminate the powerful computer programs that instantly buy up huge blocs of tickets? Could it outlaw ticket resellers, which are now huge corporations? Could it avoid punishing individuals who have legitimate reasons, such as illness, for wanting to resell their tickets?

Could it deal with the front-ofthe-line programs that seem to put tickets into the hands of resellers?

Or does the answer lie elsewhere?

(No, not another public awareness campaign!) Could it lie in individuals declining to act like jerks or declining to help jerks? Such as: don’t buy the scalped tickets; let the scalpers eat the tickets they gobbled up..

Another answer is promoters using their power responsibly. When Ontario’s ticket reselling law was announced about a year ago, Mirvish Productions of Toronto, which EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[ UIFSFTB GSJU[!NFUSPMBOE DPN NEWS EDITOR: Joe Morin KPF NPSJO!NFUSPMBOE DPN REPORTER: ,FMMZ ,FOU LLFOU!NFUSPMBOE DPN

sells more than one million theatre tickets a year, revealed that it does not allow ticket resales. Resold tickets are voided upon detection.

That seems both straight-forward and effective.

Given the state of public opinion, it’s in the self-interest of promoters to make sure fairness returns to the marketplace.

Greely Lions invite all to golf for a cause Annual tournament June 20 will support Osgoode Care Centre Kelly Kent kkent@metroland.com

With the arrival of June comes the arrival of summer and also of prime golfing weather.

Taking advantage of the summer sun, the Greely Lions will host their annual Charity Golf Tournament on Monday, June 20, at the Metcalfe Golf Club. The event is one of the group’s largest fundraisers of the year, helping to support local and international charities alike.

The Greely Lions have been hosting a charity golf tournament for about 20 years, said Paul Elford, chair of the event’s organizing committee. It has always supported multiple local groups as well as other causes such as Make-a-Wish Eastern Ontario.

The Greely Lions will host their annual Charity Golf Tournament at the Metcalfe Golf Club on Monday, June 20 in support of the Osgoode Care Centre.

This year, the event will benefit the Osgoode Care Centre primarily, among other organizations such as the local food cupboard.

Golfers who participate in the tournament can expect a full day of entertainment. Each ticket, at a cost of $125, provides not only a full day of golf but also a cart, lunch, dinner and a

guaranteed prize.

“It’s a good value for what you’re getting,” Elford said.

The Metcalfe Golf Club caters both meals. Lunch is standard barbecue fare before the tee off at 1 p.m. Dinner, after golfers return to the club, is a full roast beef buffet with all of the fixings.

“The roast beef dinner seems to be a crowd

favourite,” Elford said.

The Lions are still looking for golfers who’d like to take part in this annual staple.

Tickets can be purchased at the Greely Lions website (greelylions.ca) or by calling Elford at 613-821-4562.

Registration on the day of the event begins at 11 a.m., followed by lunch at noon and a shotgun start to the tournament at 1 p.m. Dinner takes place after golfers have returned from playing the 18-hole course, usually around 6:30 p.m.

The Charity Golf Tournament is one of the Greely Lions’ biggest fundraisers annually, Elford said. Last year alone, the event raised $13,000 to be distributed among local charities. This year, Elford said the group hopes to match or surpass that total.

OC Transpo and Bluesfest reach five-year deal Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Taking transit to Bluesfest just got a little easier for ticketholders.

OC Transpo and the annual festival reached an agreement on May 20, which will see the festival pay $100,000 to the city’s transit system each year for the next five years to help recoup costs.

“We feel the end result of this is good for the music fan; that’s what was most important,” said AJ Sauve, director of media relations for the festival.

The agreement also includes cost recovery of all extra charges related to deployment and managing the service for the festival, including supervisors and security requirements. This year that will cost about $9,000. The service agreement is also subject to increases in the city’s urban transit levy.

The city was initially asking for the festival to pay $200,000 to offset the cost of

increased frequency of buses.

But Bluesfest executive director Mark Monahan sat down with OC Transpo to negotiate the deal.

“The way it was going, fans paid to get on the bus and then they were also asking us to subsidize the cost,” Sauve said.

Instead of having Bluesfest pay the $200,000 and have festival attendees paying fares, Bluesfest is paying half that amount and fares are waived when boarding. OC Transpo basically becomes a supply sponsor, Sauve said.

Those who buy passes to the festival – taking place July 7 to 17 at Lebreton Flats – before June 1 will receive free access to transit three hours before the gates open until two hours after the day’s shows end. Those buying tickets after June 1 will pay a flat rate of $2 for transportation for the ticket dates.

Sauve wouldn’t speculate on how much money would be generated from the fee.

But one councillor ex-

pressed his concern about the deal in a blog post.

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper wrote he’s “left wondering whether we’ve blown a hole in our transit event policy just a few weeks after it was published.”

The city heard late last year that about 40 per cent of concertgoers use city transit services to get to the event.

According to figures Leiper received from OC Transpo about last year, the cost of adding additional service to Lebreton Flats was $285,000.

New fare revenue amounted to about $87,000. That means bus service last year cost the city just short of its original ask at $198,000.

This year, assuming the same frequency and overall cost and adding in the $100,000 contribution by the festival, the city will pay $185,000 for the service – a difference of about $13,000 - not including an extra fee paid by Bluesfest for the cost of supervisory staff and ad-

ministration.

“But, this has clearly ceased to be a discussion about cost recovery,” Leiper wrote.

He also pointed out that

the reduced cost for transit could make it more attractive, driving the need for even more service and costing taxpayers more money overall.

If the policy can’t be fol-

lowed, Leiper suggested it should be re-evaluated.

“Given that festivals such as Bluesfest generate millions in economic activity for the city, I believe it should simply be rewritten if it can’t be implemented in more coherent fashion than this.

ESL, arts, support staff funding questioned at school board mdelaire@metroland.com

The first public consultation meeting surrounding the public school board’s upcoming budget left board staff grappling with the questions and concerns of parents, teachers and trustees on May 30.

Among top concerns raised by delegates were the need for English as a second language funding and the importance of the extracurricular and creative arts program threatened by funding cuts. Protesters also gathered outside of the school board’s Greenbank Road office prior to the meeting to rally against proposed cuts to support staff positions.

The meeting was the first of several public consultations that will invite delegates to join the budget debate before trustees vote on the budget on June 27.

Tasked with recovering $9.3-million in order to balance its next budget, staff recommended in a May 10 re-

port that the board eliminate 47 administrative and support staff positions, in addition to the 38.8 academic staff cuts outlined in an earlier report.

The most recently proposed cuts to full-time-equivalent positions include the loss of 16.5 educational assistants, 10 early childhood educators, one psychologist and 11.2 school office staff.

The May 10 report argued that the 85 job cuts would be spread across the board in an effort to soften the blow to students and staff.

But Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney, who spoke during the meeting, said he is especially concerned about how the cuts could affect the Syrian refugee students in the board’s schools.

“I have concerns with regards to the cuts to ESL, specifically in the draft budget, and specific to the region of the Donald Street area where we have the highest concentration of Syrian refugees in the entire city,” Tierney said, adding that 100 Syrian refugee students currently attend

Carson Grove elementary.

Tierney praised the efforts of Ottawa residents to sponsor and welcome Syrian refugees, but said he is concerned about the level of community support that refugee families will rely on once federal accommodation funding for those families runs out.

Shirley Seward, board chair and trustee for the zone covering River ward, echoed Tierney’s concern that ESL staff levels do not reflect the recent influx of refugee students.

“With respect to English as a second language, we’ve talked about this before and said that if the numbers go up, in terms of new immigrants coming in, we would be able to adjust it in October,” Seward said. “However enrolment has already gone up by 100 ... We’ve increased our enrolment and we haven’t increased our number of teachers or English as a second language teachers.”

Several delegates – including advocates for the board’s extracurricular creative arts

program and parents of students enrolled in it – spoke in defence of the paid arts program.

Currently managed – though not subsidized– by the board and hosted at its schools, the program is facing a funding elimination that would shift the responsibility of its management from board staff to its arts instructors.

Delegates at the May 30 meeting worried that the cuts would nonetheless threaten the program, which offers paid music, theatre and visual art lessons to students on school property, outside of school hours.

The May 10 staff report said ending funding to the program would save the board $48,000. The report said that the program has operated at a deficit for several years.

Donna Blackburn, trustee for the zone covering the Barrhaven and KnoxdaleMerivale areas, defended the board’s suggestion to end its management of the program, saying that the board needs to

focus on its basic mandate.

“The bottom line is we have to do our core business, and our core business is edu-

cating JK to Grade 12, during school time,” Blackburn said after the meeting.

Notice of Commencement Transit Project Assessment Process Western Extension of the Confederation Line Light Rail Transit The Project The City of Ottawa is proposing to expand the City’s Confederation Line Light Rail Transit (LRT) network, currently under construction, to the east, west and southwest regions of the City. The Western Extension of the Confederation Line Light Rail Transit includes extending the Confederation Line further west from Tunney’s Pasture Station to Baseline and Bayshore Stations as well as a developing a Maintenance and Storage Facility in the Nepean-Woodroffe corridor, south of Norice Avenue. The purpose of this project is to provide a higher level of transit service to growing communities in the west and southwest of the city, a need identified in the City of Ottawa’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan.

The Plan will: • Add 13 kilometres of rail and 10 LRT stations to the City’s overall transit network at Westboro, Dominion, Cleary, New Orchard, Lincoln Fields, Iris, Baseline, Queensview, Pinecrest, and Bayshore.

MEGAN DELAIRE/METROLAND

• Connect directly to the West Transitway and the Southwest Transitway to facilitate connections to the communities of Kanata and Barrhaven.

Dollars for Dogs

The Process

Dog walkers work their way along a four-kilometre loop around Andrew Haydon Park in Nepean on May 29 as part of the Dollars for Dogs fundraiser for Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. The fundraiser, in its 32nd year, raised $22,000 for the organization, with at least 63 people participating.

Planning efforts have been completed and this project will be assessed according to the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08. As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report (EPR) will be prepared by the proponent; the City of Ottawa, to document the study process, the environmental conditions, alternatives considered, the planned project, anticipated environmental impacts, appropriate mitigation and the project’s consultation program.

We’d like your feedback.

During the Notice of Commencement phase of the environmental assessment, copies of the draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) will be available to provide interested parties time to review and provide feedback prior to the formal 30-day public review period following the posting of the Notice of Completion.

Emerson chokes on his own joke

T

he two chokecherry bushes just before the West Hill began were in full bloom.

Soon they would be heavy with the little berries and would become jelly. The jars would help fill our cellar shelves, already starting to show the results of Mother’s pickling and preserves.

Not only did I love chokecherry jelly, spread on fresh buttered bread, but I often went to the two trees and popped a few in my mouth, enjoying the tart taste of the little berries.

My brother Emerson, whose mission in life seemed to be to make my life miserable, one day told me something that just about ruined my love of chokecherries. “Did you

MARY COOK Memories hear what happened to the Kallies boys second cousin, once removed? Well, he ate a handful of chokecherries and took a few sips of milk, and he choked to death.”

I figured I was safe because even though we had an ample supply of milk in the farm, I hated it. I was sure I could smell cow off a glass of milk, and to get milk into me, Mother had to stir in a spoon of cocoa and a few drops of vanilla. Only then

could I get the glass of milk down.

So I wasn’t likely to drop dead from eating a few chokecherries. I assured Emerson if he planned on getting rid of me any time soon, it wouldn’t be from eating chokecherries and then drinking milk!

That afternoon, Mother made a batch of jelly from what Audrey and I were able to get off the bushes.

The house was full of the

wonderful smell of boiling berries.

And then supper was on the table. And there was a bowl of fresh jelly. Emerson was sitting across from me on the bench that ran under the grape arbour window, and he spotted the jelly as soon as I did. I wasn’t sure what he was up to, but there was no doubt in my mind he was up to something.

The fruit nappies sat in the middle of the table, and Emerson took one and helped himself to a few spoons full of jelly.

He slathered a good helping of jelly on his slice of buttered bread, and crammed most of it into his mouth. Then he took a good swig of milk. Within seconds his eyes rolled into the back of his head, and he started to cough, just like he did when he had the gripe in the winter time.

Mother stayed remarkably calm, and in a voice she reserved for the times when she lost her patience, asked Emerson what was wrong.

“It’s the chokecherry jelly mixed with the milk,” he said, gasping for breath. “I told Mary this could happen and she wouldn’t believe me.”

His face was beet red from the coughing, and he looked like he was going to slide off the bench and under the table.

Everett and Earl, sitting on each side of him, didn’t lose a beat. They kept on eating their nappies of jelly as if their brother choking to death was a common occurrence.

Mother finally put down her spoon, and her voice was now the one she used when she was about to give one of us a cuff on the ear. “So you think it was the jelly, do

you?” Emerson could only nod.

“Well that’s mighty strange,” Mother said.

“Because that’s blackberry jelly you’re eating. A bottle left over from last year. The chokecherry jelly has to settle before we eat it.”

Everett and Earl both gave Emerson a poke in the ribs, my sister Audrey was laughing so hard she had to leave the table, and Father got up and went to his rocking chair and lit his pipe.

“Don’t know what a man has to do to get to eat a meal in peace around here,” could be heard in a voice just above a whisper.

Week In Review

The students of Osgoode Township High School organized and ran the Relay for Life race this year. They had great weather and even had many participants from other schools join in their marathon.

They were raising funds for the Canadian Cancer Foundation in memory of family, friends and in particular for staff members.

Great leadership skills and loads of team spirit is what made this such a success. Well done!

The annual Ride for Her for Ovarian Cancer Canada is always a bittersweet event to attend. There are so many motorcycle riders that attend, and many of them are survivors that come out in support of the Ride and share their memories. They support each other through thick and thin, it is truly a close knit group of people. Linda and Marcel Moncion were the lead supporters once again for the ride and provided a light breakfast before they set off on the Ride.

The Greely Gardeners’ Spring Plant Sale at Andy Shields Park was a busy place with so many great deals! People kept coming and going for two hours and didn’t leave empty-handed! It was a simple and fast way to start your garden or just add to it.

The annual Spring Dinner at St. Paul’s United Church in Kenmore had two sold out seatings! The roast beef dinner delight was a once again a huge hit that many local residents enjoyed. Plenty of people from outside the Ward also made the trip to join in. It’s a great time to share some laughs and great food. I look forward to their next dinner!

Mayor’s Rural Expo and Food Day was a grand event that showcases what rural Ottawa has to offer all in one spot each year at City Hall.

There is always great representation from every aspect of rural living including food, livestock, music, festivals, craftsmen and artists.

It was an amazing day to show city folk all about rural life. I even entered a competition to milk a cow, and I managed to get a whole 3 oz worth of wholesome milk out of old Daisy in only 30 seconds! Better than my opponent and other Councillors that only got 2 oz! Better luck next year to them, but I will be back to defend my win!

The Ambassador of Italy, Gian Lorenzo Cornado and Mrs. Martine Cornado, held a garden reception for Italian National Day at their residence. In attendance was special guest speaker Hon. Francesca LaMarca of the Italian Chamber of Deputies also welcoming Italians to embrace their heritage and be proud.

Live musical entertainment and various regional Italian foods added to the great evening. It was an honour to meet the Ambassador and Ms. LaMarca and have a chance to mingle with many people, some that I already knew as well.

It was another busy day on Tuesday in the Metcalfe Ward office. The open door concept works really well for people that want to drop by and not have to go all the way downtown to the City for answers. Others come in simply because they are in the area and want to chat! Keep coming from 1 to 5 on Tuesdays, my door is open and it’s always a pleasure!

A tow truck driver has been charged with stunt driving after racing to the scene of a collision in Orléans on May 29.

The 36-year-old male driver

was observed driving at high speeds southbound on Tenth Line Road, and he nearly collided with a fire truck responding to the collision.

The tow truck then tailed the fire truck as it weaved through traffic.

The driver was charged with racing a vehicle, following too close and failing to surrender his licence. His driver’s licence was suspended for one week, and his tow truck was also impounded for a week.

Kiss said many tow truck

drivers look at a $190 bylaw ticket as a business expense.

He said drivers continue to be “very aggressive” to get to collision scenes because they can make several thousand dollars in business from one collision site.

Board budget meeting draws parents, teachers, protesters Continued from page 13

“That’s all we can afford to do. If we were flush with money, I’d like to offer this ... but we’re not. And we can’t do all these extras anymore.”

In an effort to offset the impact of budget cuts on support staff across the board, Shawn Menard, trustee for the zone covering Vanier, proposed a set of budget amendments that included taking $1.4 million in funding from school infrastructure and human resources and reinvesting it into staff.

Those amendments include: •Reduce occasional teacher budget by $300,000 •Reduce planning and facilities, custodial services, trades and maintenance, facilities management, design and construction – supplies and services budget by $100,000 •Reduce human resource staff development budget by $400,000

•Reduce business and learning technology supplies and services budget by $600,000 •Restore eight full time equivalent education assistants, costing $426,400 •Restore six full time equivalent school office positions in elementary schools, costing $263,400 •Restore a one per cent reduction in school budgets, costing $85,000 •Restore the community outreach officer position, costing $47,200 •Restore two full time equivalent English as a second language teachers, costing $195,800 •Restore 0.8 full time equivalent social workers, costing $74,800 •Restore one full time equivalent psychologist, costing $104,200 Aside from conceding that the board could afford to reduce the budget for planning and facilities, custodial

services, trades and maintenance, facilities management, design and construction, supplies and services by $100,000, comments submitted by board staff rejected the rest of the proposed amendments.

Blackburn said she felt that the scale of the amendments are not realistic.

“The notion that we can just take $600,000 from business and learning technology is just untenable,” she said.

“We can’t do that. And what’s happened is in the past is we’ve done that, and now our computer system is way behind, and we’re at risk. Technology changes regularly. We’re a big organization, and we rely on technology.”

Another public delegation budget meeting was scheduled for June 6, with the debate among trustees expected to continue during meetings on June 13 and 20.

Approval of the budget is expected to take place on June 27.

Calling all Farmwives

A

ll it takes is a short stroll through social media to realize I am not the only farmwife out there. I am not the only accidental one either.

There are accidental farmwives, trophy farmwives, seven-generation farmwives and celebrity farmwives.

Many times these other farmwives are brought to my attention. I read their blogs and their books and they inspire me.

Kate Humble has a book â&#x20AC;&#x201C;and a website - called Humble by Nature. You can look her up there. I think she also has a TV show in the UK, because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where she began â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as a television host. One day she was in an underwater cave as part of a documentary film shoot and she had a moment of panic.

I think it was something along the lines of â&#x20AC;&#x153;what

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife if I get trapped and die down here? I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done all I want to do yet.â&#x20AC;? (That may not be exactly how it happened but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how I remember it.) When she got home from that trip, she convinced her partner to buy a piece of property out in the country with her.

At first they just worked on restoring and improving their own heritage farmland plot. Soon they added laying hens, a weird-looking pair of flatulent pigs, some sheep and of course a sheepdog. Before they knew it, they were smallholders.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what hobby farming

is called over on that side of the pond.

One day Kate and her hubby heard the municipally-owned farmland next door to theirs was going on the market. They worried about the tract housing that might be developed there, potentially destroying their sunset views and bucolic existence. It seemed although they had moved away from the cramped quarters of the city, the city was threatening to follow them out to the land of stone cottages and rail fences. So they found a way to buy the land.

Over the next few years, Kate turned that extra farmland into a teaching farm. People can take courses there on the heritage method of fencebuilding, flower arranging, basic animal husbandry, jams, jellies and even cider making. She has a small gift shop and a cafĂŠ at her farm. I would love to go there someday, if I can get the Farmer on a plane to Europe.

Another fabulous farmwife who is both entertaining and inspiring is The Pioneer Woman â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ree Drummond. My introduction to Ree came via her photographic cookbook â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which contains recipes that everyone loves and even I can follow. Ree grew up in a golf course community somewhere in the States and then lived in Califor-

nia, I believe, before she fell in love with a farmer, from her hometown. Now they live on a ranch in Oklahoma. They feed the wild horses on their property, raise children and beef cattle and vegetables.

Ree blogs and takes photos, hosts a cooking show and homeschools her children.

She is hilarious and uplifting. From her I learned that a farmwife should keep a bag of sugar in the barn. If you have an animal with a prolapse you can push the entire mess into the bag of sugar and it will immediately shrink and retract up into the body cavity where it belongs. Sounds absolutely disgusting and I have never had to use it but it is awe-inspiring none the less.

I know from my eight+ years writing this column and reading your emails

that there are many other farmwives out there. Some of you are new at the gig, others are born to it and others are former farmwives with sharp memories of the experience. My stories often remind you of yours and so I am inviting you to share them with me so I can share them with others.

I am going to be collecting those stories, combining them with photos and doing something special with them in the near future. In celebration of the farmwife, be she accidental, purposeful, traditional, or hopeful. www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com www.dianafisherbooks. com email: dianafisher1@ gmail.com

Notice of Study Commencement

Baseline/Woodroffe Stormwater Management Pond Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and Functional Design The City of Ottawa has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for a proposed Stormwater Management Facility at the northeast corner of Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue. A stormwater management pond was initially recommended in the Pinecrest Creek/ Westboro Stormwater Management Retrofit Study (2011) and underwent further assessment in the Feasibility Study for a Surface Stormwater Management Facility at Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue (2015).

The Process The study is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011, and 2015). In order to satisfy the requirements of the Class EA process, alternatives of the stormwater management pond will be confirmed, assessed and the process documented, considering the work already undertaken. The Class EA will identify a preferred alternative and functional design for the pond.

Interested persons can provide comments at any time during the Class EA process. There will be opportunity for feedback through the City of Ottawa’s website, ottawa.ca/baselinewoodroffepond. With the exception of personal information, comments received become part of the public record.
