Sweeping plan for arts and heritage garners support from city Laura Mueller

“We invest in these communities and they will grow themselves,” said Lilly Koltun, the chair of the steering committee that developed the plan. The city will also put $1.5 million over five years towards renewing and preserving capital facilities for the arts, heritage and culture. There are a few other programs, including $25,000 for a poet laureate in 2014 and $100,000 in the same year for a pilot program to create new cultural initiatives at a neighbourhood level. The goal is to foster the grassroots develop-

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC News – A brand new five-year plan for arts, heritage and culture is drawing support for ideas like building a new downtown library, reintroducing a local poet laureate, overhauling the city’s process for commemorative naming and establishing a plan for archeology. In the $5-million plan, a total of $2 million will be added to the city’s contribution to local arts, heritage and cultural groups over the five years as part of a “seed” investment.

ment of cultural “districts” or clusters throughout the city. Heather Jamieson of Arts Ottawa East said the plan is strong because of the geographic component that considers the role of arts in rural, suburban and urban areas. “This is validating the contribution each area makes to our arts sector,” she said. The plan was roundly applauded before the community and protective services committee endorsed it on Jan. 19. Advocates lined up to convey their accolades for the plan, with a notable lack of criticism of a nature rarely

seen from public delegates at city hall. “It’s as cohesive and comprehensive of a document as you’re ever going to find,” said Catherine O’Grady, the chair of the city’s citizen advisory committee on arts, heritage and culture. David Flemming of Heritage Ottawa said he and the group are pleased with the inclusion of a plan to not only preserve Ottawa’s built architectural heritage, but also to create a new archeological plan for the city. “This really ties in the built heritage and the importance

get established in the art community from a young age, and creating cross-generational opportunities for collaboration and learning. The plan is also important because the arts and culture are big moneymakers for the region and have potential to grow, Koltun said. In Ottawa/ Gatineau, the cultural industry represents just under $2 billion; that’s 4.1 per cent of the gross domestic product. Four million people took in arts and cultural events and performances in Ottawa in 2010 – works that were created in great part 22,500 cultural workers who is in the city, according to the report. In 2010, 21,861 volunteers gave 519,755 hours, for a total value of $9.1 million. The plan has been in development since the summer of 2010 and included vast participation from groups and individuals representing 185 groups across the city, including rural areas. People from the city’s 27 annual festivals, 19 theatre troupes, 30 galleries and visual-arts training centres and 24 museums were all consulted, which helped create a consensus and build support for the plan, Koltun said. Of note, aboriginal groups were widely consulted and considered in the plan and voiced their support for it, whereas no indigenous people participated in the city’s last arts plan, said Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes. Council will vote to give final approval to the plan on Feb. 8.

of that,” Flemming said. “It’s important to recognize that it’s part of arts and culture.” The National Capital Commission was also happy with the plan, particularly the archeological aspect. Part of the plan that stood out to arts advocates who spoke at the Jan. 19 meeting was the focus on creating spaces for arts and providing easier access to existing spaces. The plan wants the city to look at finding ways to boost access to underused spaces, encourage the private developers to include cultural space in their buildings, along the lines of the Great Canadian Theatre Company in Wellington West. One of the spaces contemplated in the plan is the development of the long-planned concert hall for Ottawa, which was originally contemplated to be part of a new building at 150 Elgin St. in Centretown; however, privet sponsors weren’t forthcoming, so that plan was dropped. “This expression of engagement of the city is much appreciated,” said Alan Bowker of the Friends of the Concert Hall group. “Now, we no longer have to deal with the refrain that the concert hall is dead.” Part of the plan looks are responding to the city’s changing demographics as the population ages. In the next 20 years, the percentage of seniors in Ottawa will more than double. But the plan also looks at nurturing the opportunities for youth to

OC Transpo backtracks on bus GPS release Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC News - OC Transpo thinks it’s a better idea to make money off live GPS transit data than to release it openly to the public, the city’s transit commission heard at a meeting on Jan. 17. Previously, OC Transpo general manager Alain Mercier promised the bus location information would be released as “open data” when the transit agency could ensure its accuracy through technology upgrades. Despite promising that information would be open to the public as recently at December, Mercier now says he will leave the decision up to the transit commission. The group will be charged with deciding what’s more important: potential advertising revenue from the only mobile app that can show real-time bus locations, or the city’s commitment to transparency through its open data initiative. An OC Transpo marketing plan says the transit agency could stand to raise $1.1 million by 2014 by leveraging the real-time bus-location data. That dilemma won’t face the commission for another few months (likely in the summer), as OC Transpo awaits information from the market and advertisers about how much transit advertising op-

portunities – including ads on an app – are worth to them. The loss of potential revenue isn’t the only cost of making the data open, said Robert Delage, an OC Transpo technology manager who explained the issue to transit commissioners. The bus-location information would be the first “live” open data stream the city would provide (all other streams are static), and there is a cost involved with maintaining that type of information and hosting it, Delage said. Developing an app to interpret the data requires “deep knowledge” of the transit system, Delage said. The city did release bus-location data briefly during its Apps4Ottawa contest in 2010 and early 2011, and transit apps were very popular: “Where is My Bus?,” an app developed by Nepean resident Jonathan Rudenberg, won the people’s choice award. But some other bus apps didn’t work and left OC Transpo to field calls about the bad information they were putting out to the public, Delage said. But that message from Delage and Mercier came under harsh criticism from some commissioners, including Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson and Beacon HillCyrville Coun. Tim Tierney (the former and current heads

of the city’s information technology subcommittee). They decried OC Transpo’s move away from its previous commitment to release the open data and challenged the notion that preventing public access to the information could make the city more money. If the city’s app, which it intends to release before any bus-location data would be made public if the commission approves, is better than other developer’s apps, it will make more money off advertising, Wilkinson said. Tierney has examined other models, including the system used in Winnipeg, and he said he doesn’t see a correlation between open data and lost revenue. OC Transpo has an advantage because it is in the best position to integrate additional information about bus cancellations and other special messages with the GPS data in its app, so the transit agency already has an advantage that will guarantee it can attract more advertising than other apps, Tierney said. He disagreed with the change in direction he heard from commission chair Coun. Diane Deans (GloucesterSouthgate) and Mercier, and the IT subcommittee chairman said he would not back down on this issue.

The city’s transit committee will have to balance the need for public transparency with the opportunity to earn advertising dollars from a mobile app that will show real time bus location. In the future, Tierney said he would prefer to see another member of the commission’s four-person working group on technology issues deliver updates on that group’s work to the full commission, rather than Deans. Those statements were good news for Open Data Ottawa, an advocacy group that has been pushing for the release of bus-location info. Alex Lougheed, the group’s spokesperson, said open data

and revenue generation aren’t mutually exclusive, and he was disappointed to hear the issue framed that way by OC Transpo. He suggested the city could keep more money in its pocket by ditching a plan to develop its own transit app – a costly process – and leave private developers to do that. Opening the data is a great way to increase confidence in the transit system and make it easier to use, Lougheed said,

and that will help OC Transpo achieve its main goal of increasing ridership. In fact, just a 0.5 per cent increase in ridership would generate the same amount of money OC Transpo hoped to raised through monetizing the GPS data, Lougheed claimed. He encouraged anyone who is concerned about this issue to contact their city councillor, transit commissioners and the mayor and make their voices heard.

Neil Diamond impersonator to perform at Strathcona Legion Eddie Rwema Eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC Entertainment - Good times have never seemed so good for this Neil Diamond impersonator. Joey Purpura’s vocal impersonation of the famous singer will be reaching out and touching you as he brings his show to the Strathacona Royal Canadian Legion on Bank Street this Friday, Jan. 27 starting at 8 p.m. There is a general feeling that’s evoked in the show – seeing people happy, Purpura said. “I had no idea how beloved Diamond is. And I had no idea how powerful his music was - and still is - to people,” he said. Seeing Diamond fans light up and seeing audience members smile or cry when they hear his ballads. He said this as a satisfying part of his job. “Response is so good that I

always get invited back wherever I perform,” Purpura said. Purpura said his musical career as a Neil Diamond tribute artist began when he went to a karaoke night. “I was introduced to karaoke about eight years ago by a friend. I took to it immediately, especially since I could now work on vocal impersonations.” Purpura said he can also impersonate other artists, such as Elton John, Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor and Scott Stapp, but his busy schedule hasn’t allowed him to showcase them yet. “I haven’t been able to produce other acts yet. I’ve done a few shows with different voices, but not regularly,” he said. At every show there is at least one patron that will ask a venue staff member if he’s lipsyncing. “I am thrilled to hear that,” he said, “because it is the ultimate compliment and all the

hours of perfecting the impersonation have been worth the effort.” He has two costume changes for every show. The ﬁrst set he wears the mid-1970s garb with the bell-bottoms and huge collars and vest. The second set is glittery pastel-sequined shirts with scarfs. Born in Montreal, the 37year-old was blessed with the gift of mimicry and was bestowed with the passion for music through his dad who played records and sang around the house. “My dad sang constantly and I remember watching the thick 78-speed records he brought over from his native Italy spin on the turntable – I would sing along to those Italian songs.” said Purpura. “When I was six, he gave me a few quarters to buy discount records that were being sold at this mom-and- pop neighbourhood record store. Soon I was singing all the time. “After every performance both the women and men approach me, not only to tell me how much they enjoyed the show, but also to tell me they were teenagers or in their 20s when Neil Diamond emerged, and how I took them back to that special time and place,” he said. “Or, sometimes, it’s the children of Neil Diamond fans who come up to thank me.” To buy tickets for the show, call 613-236-1575.

Carleton Ravens introduce new head coach Eddie Rwema Eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC Sports - The long anticipated revival of football at Carleton University now looks imminent. Last week, the university named Steve Sumarah the 13th head coach of the Ravens varsity football program. Sumarah has been coaching in the Atlantic University Sport for the past 17 years and comes to Carleton after spending the last six seasons as head coach of the saint Mary’s University Huskies. The newly hired coach begun his work on Jan .23 and said he is got a ton of work to do to build a team that will hit ﬁeld in 2013 after a 14year absence. “There are very few opportunities in life to be able to start something from the beginning,” said Sumarah. The Carleton Ravens football team was cut in 1999 after the restructuring of the department of recreation and athletics and the university administration. Since then, the Old Crow Society - Carleton’s football alumni chapter, have been working to revive the program. Sumarah said he is happy and proud to lead the Ravens football program into its new era. “To be honest, it is a fantastic opportunity and exciting,” he said. “I think this is phenomenal opportunity.” As head coach of St. Mary’s University Huskies, he led the team to four consecutive AUS titles, a Uteck Bowl championship and a trip to the Vanier Cup in 2007, and was named the AUS coach of the year three times. In a statement, Carleton University president Roseann O’Reilly Runte said she was pleased Sumarah will coach the Ravens from their ﬁrst year. “Coach Sumarah has an outstanding record of mentoring student-athletes and working with the community. We look forward to watching

him build on Carleton’s tradition of excellence in varsity sports.” A LOT OF WORK AHEAD

Though there has been a lot of work done in the background to revive the game at Carleton, the new head coach said there is still a long way to go. Top on his list of priorities is to reacquaint people back that Carleton has a football team. “We have to make sure people are excited so that when the ball is kicked in 2013, everybody is pleased by it,” said Sumarah. As of next month, Sumarah will embark on a long and tough job of assembling a group of 85 young men who will make the Ravens. “Recruiting is the biggest part of the job,” said Sumarah. He expects to travel across Canada looking to recruit new talent. “You need some guys with speed, guys that can catch the ball, those that can throw, big guys upfront that can block and aggressive guys in defense,” he said. He hopes to begin his search for recruits in Ottawa. “Football in the Ottawa area is very strong and I think you have to start in your own backyard and then work out from there,” he said. “The nice thing about football is that every body type and every size has the ability to contribute in the game and we are trying to ﬁnd all of them.” Plans are currently underway at Carleton for both the design and construction of new football facilities and stadium upgrades on campus. Jennifer Brenning, Carleton’s director of recreation and athletics said having the program back will help elevate the university’s visibility. “We are very pleased that he accepted the challenge of building our program and moving his family to Ottawa,” she said. According to the Bren-

Steve Sumarah was named the 13th head coach of the Carleton University Ravens varsity football program last week. ning, once Sumarah is settled in, the university will set his objectives for the coming years, which would include winning games. “Certainly we know the program is not going to be winning very many football games in its ﬁrst few years. It’s going to take a few years

to build a successful competitive program,” she said. As of Sumarah, his hopes are to win the ﬁrst time but agrees it will take a couple of years to start winning games. “The fast you can get them up to speed and ready, the better,” said Sumarah.

Excited shoppers stormed the store just few minutes after the ribbon was cut. For Patsy Froome, who has been doing her shopping in Greely and South Keys, the opening of Fresh Co. is more than good news to her. “It is nice. I will be here all the time,” said Froome. “This is great. I can walk here.” The nearly 3,000-squaremetre store offers a larger selection of products. “I haven’t looked all way through but so far it looks so nice to me,” said shopper Hilda Thomas. As for Linda Reed, it is the freshness and cleanliness of the store that struck her.

“I think it is a great store. The area needed it. It is bright, fresh, and clean and I really like it,” said Reed. She saidr it was long overdue, for Findlay Creekers to have a store like that. Store manager, Trevor Edwards said the Fresh Co. is a great addition to the community. “It is a great opportunity for Findlay Creek to have somewhere they can shop locally and enjoy what we have to offer,” said Edwards. Besides products, the store is a source of income to about 140 people most of them living in the Findlay Creek neighbourhood. “It is great for the community,” he said. In addition to a focus on fresh and discount food, the store will be tailored to the local market by teaming up with local producers who will be selling their large volumes of produce to the store. “We support our local vendors in the area by bringing-in their products.” said Edwards. “We want to support the local community and give our customers what they are looking for.” He added that the new stores will contain more fresh produce and more fresh baked goods. Other tenants at the Findlay Creek plaza include Tim

Nordion CEO credits work, sports training in cancer battle VICTORY BELL, from 1

West attributes his work and sports training regimen – which included cycling in Ride the Rideau for getting him through his cancer diagnosis and treatment. “Exercising brings you focus, helps you emotionally and obviously helps your fitness level,” he said. West was able to maintain a training schedule that kept him strong enough to overcome his challenge. Besides his family and the company executive team, nobody else recognized he had cancer. “Nobody really noticed that anything was going on,” said West. His wife Eunice said the final treatment was a major relief to the family. “Today is a big day for our family. It is the end of a journey that started five months ago,” said Eunice. She said it was a journey that was full of ups and downs that they don’t wish for anybody. The news about his husband’s cancer came as a shocker to the family just days

before their planned trip to German to visit their son and West’s mother in England. “All of a sudden our world turned upside down when something unplanned came up. It was shocking at first and I thought I was just dreaming and I just wanted to wake up from this nightmare. Unfortunately it wasn’t a dream. It was for real,” said Eunice. “We can’t believe we have reached the end of this journey.” A cancer crusader West highlighted the importance of supporting cancer care. “As a cancer survivor I think it is very important,” he said. The experience has motivated him even more to find money for more research. He intends on captaining his own team for the September Ride the Rideau event and he hopes to raise $35,000. “We are trying to raise $70,000 this year for Ride the Rideau and we encouraging people to get on their bikes and raise money because all that money goes to the Ottawa Hospital research Institute,” said West.

Cisco Canada looks to hire 300 computer science graduates blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC News - Cisco Canada plans to do a little hiring over the coming year. The technology company is looking to fill 300 fulltime research and development jobs to help Cisco expand its next-generation technology for Internet routing, broadband internet and communications software. Two hundred of those jobs will be filled at the company’s site in Kanata north, located on Innovation Drive. The rest will be located in Toronto. “Ontario provides an excellent environment for technology innovators,” said Nitin Kawale, president of Cisco Canada. “Ontario had all the attributes we look for – access to skilled engineering graduates, a stable and predictable economy, and an excellent combination of research tax credits and government investment that supports innovation.” Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi was on hand to check out some of Cisco’s cuttingedge video teleconferencing technology – as well as meet some of the company’s interns and recent hires – on Thursday, Jan. 19. He participated in a joint Ottawa-Toronto teleconference using Cisco’s TelePresence Callway technology – talking with Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, who spoke from Cisco’s office in Toronto. The Ontario government signed a memorandum of understanding last year, committing $25 million to support the company’s effort to create 300 new research and development jobs in Ot-

tawa and Toronto. “We need to do everything we can to create good-paying jobs in the province,” said Naqvi. Naqvi said he was impressed with Cisco’s TelePresence technology. “We’re used to doing teleconferencing by telephone, so we’re not used to seeing the person,” he said. “This is my first time experiencing TelePresence.” The video teleconferencing technology is a billiondollar business for Cisco, said Ritch Dusome, the company’s director of product marketing. “It’s going to explode,” he

said, following a demonstration of the technology to the premier and Naqvi on Thursday at the Kanata office. “You can do it right from your desk top.” Kim Devooght, vice-president of Cisco’s public sector Canada, said the video teleconferencing technology was created to help businesses and governments create remote offices. Workers can interact electronically by holding video teleconferencing meetings, which can go mobile using tablets, similar to the RIM Playbook and Apple iPad. The company said it’s looking for computer science

Bus data suddenly top secret The writing has been on the walls for months, but the powers that be at OC Transpo made it official last week: the transit authority thinks it’s a bad idea to give citizens direct access to information about where their buses are. The new attitude flies in the face of the city’s relatively new and progressive policy on “open data” – streams of information about city services and infrastructure that can be used to power mobile and computer

applications (“apps”) to give people easy ways to make that data useful for taxpayers. There are data sets on childcare facilities, drinking water quality, the cycling network, park locations and much more. But not GPS location data from OC Transpo buses. That is, unless members of the city’s transit commission stand up to chair Diane Deans and OC Transpo general manager Alain Mercier’s claims that the information

needs to be kept for the transit authority’s exclusive use in order to make it valuable to advertisers. OC Transpo’s business and marketing plan claims the possibility of $1.1 million in new ad revenue in the bus location information, presumably from advertising on a mobile-phone app and from ads displayed on screens with updated bus arrival times at stations. But Mercier says that amount of dough would only

flow in if OC Transpo was the sole source of real-time information about where buses are. The problem is experts on transit data and how other big cities use it say that isn’t the case. In fact, Open Data Ottawa says the city could probably make more revenue – and save money – by avoiding the expense of creating its own app. If the data is openly available, private developers would find a way to make it useful

to riders at no cost to the city. It has already been done – the most popular app in a city-run contest was Where is My Bus? Offering the information needed to create tools to make transit easier to use can also pay off by increasing trust and confidence in the system, and that in turn increases ridership and revenue. But beyond the common sense of making the information public, and beyond the fact that many major cities have already demonstrated that this is the best practice, the city made a promise to share the data. City council made a

commitment to a new era of transparency at city hall, and a large part of that has been a stronger focus on open data. And Mercier himself committed publicly and directly to app developers that he would make the bus GPS data available. Where OC Transpo and the city had an opportunity to increase public goodwill in a maligned post-“route optimization” period, it has instead set the stage to alienate the very people who clamour to help people use the transit system more easily. The transit commissioners shouldn’t let OC Transpo get away with it.

Betting against a casino in Toronto When, in fact, it’s the opposite. The urgency of not building a casino is underscored by the fact that casinos are not very helpful institutions. They take money out of the hands of people who should really be doing something else with it. They contribute to the growth of gambling addiction, a serious problem in our society. Among those most affected by gambling addiction are governments, who have come to depend on the revenue generated by casinos as a sneaky form of taxation. Rather than an honest tax, openly levied on the basis of people’s ability to pay or their retail purchases, it is a disguised tax, based on people’s desperation. You would not know this from the way casinos are promoted – with pictures of elegant men in dinner jackets and women in evening dresses out for a sophisticated night on the town, sipping cocktails beside a roulette table and laughing. Those people, in the imagination of casino supporters, spend lots of money shopping and dining and staying over and helping to stimulate the local economy. In reality, the men and women are wearing parkas and glumly feeding loonies into machines until they get back on the bus and go home, contributing nothing to the local economy except perhaps for those engaged in addiction control. Toronto could look at Thunder Bay, which put a casino into its downtown in the hopes of saving it, which it didn’t. Toronto could look at Hull, now Gatineau, where the casino sucked the life out of the downtown at night. Toronto doesn’t need a casino to attract tourists or entertain its own people. It has professional baseball and hockey and basketball and theatre and museums and nifty neighborhoods. Some day it may even have a decent harbourfront (not that we in Ottawa should talk). Therefore, if Toronto is wise, it could brag: “Look, our city is so world class that we don’t even need a casino!” With any luck, other cities all over the globe would begin demolishing theirs, to be like Toronto. What a world-class world that would be.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town All of us who live in and around Ottawa have only the fondest feelings for Toronto and want it to prosper and be recognized internationally for the exceptional city that it is. It is much easier for us to have these fond feelings after our hockey team has defeated theirs. Right now, Toronto has another opportunity to stand out and be recognized as distinctive and wonderful. It can do this by refusing to build a casino. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation is reported to be about to recommend a casino for Toronto, perhaps at Ontario Place. The mayor is said to be favourably disposed to the idea. Some city councillors are positively drooling. A bit of opposition to the idea has been voiced, notably by the Conservative leader, Tim Hudak, but it based mostly inefficiencies in the lottery corporation and the new casino’s impact on casinos in smaller Ontario communities, such as Niagara Falls and Windsor. You don’t see too many people objecting to the principle of the thing. Perhaps we’ve been living with casinos for too long. People can get used to anything after awhile, even a bad smell. You can see where Toronto would be sorely tempted to go for the casino. Casinos are reputed to attract tourists, even though they don’t always do so. In border towns, with a weak Canadian dollar, they worked OK. Not so much now. Perhaps a more important appeal of the casino has to do with the city’s reputation. Toronto has always wanted to be considered world class and people with not quite as much imagination as they should have think that the way to be world class is to have what every other city in the world does.

Ottawa South pub decides to go smoke -free Eddie Rwema Eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC News - Toni Najem has more reason than most to support the creation of more smoke-free outdoor patios. Najem, president of Firkin group of Pubs in the Ottawa area said he almost lost his life in 1999 due to second-hand smoking. His pub in Ottawa South is one of the few ones in the city that have made their patios smoke free. “Second-hand smoking affected my healthy and I almost died from it. I became heavily asthmatic because of second hand smoking,” said Najem. While on his death bed at the general hospital, Najem was warned by doctors never to enter any smoking place. “I have to always be in a smoke free environment,” he said. Although he grew up in a family where everybody smoked, Najem has never smoked. “I chose willingly not to be a smoke so why should I inhale someone else’s cigarette? That is not right,” he said. Making his pubs smoke free is not a snap decision but Najem doesn’t regret that.

He said when they decided to go smoke free everybody thought it was going to kill their business. “People don’t come to smoke. They come to enjoy the ambiance, service and the quality of the product that you serve,” he said. “If you deliver on the three, you should be more than fine, and your business will survive whether you are smoking or not.” According to a city press release, being exposed to second-hand smoke on a patio outdoors can result in similar levels of exposure to smoke as spending the same amount of time in a smoky tavern. It added that the dangers of second-hand smoke, even outdoors, cannot be ignored. “I don’t want to have to sit in a room full of smoke especially when I am trying to enjoy my food or a beer,” said Najem. He however admits that going smoke-free hasn’t been all that easy. “Some people who wanted smoking have come and complained and threatened never to return. “To me there are more non smokers than there are smokers,” said Najem.

“I have made them to understand that the patio is not just for them but for everyone.” An Ipsos Reid poll conducted in August on behalf of the city found that 73 per cent of Ottawa residents want smokefree outdoor patios. The Ottawa Public Health has been encouraging more bars and restaurants to follow suit by going smoke-free. “When I applied to open up this business, the city asked me if I would make it a non smoking and promised to promote me,” said Najem. He said his pub has been advertised on the city’s website as one of the non smoking places to go to. “It is a very good incentive. I think the city is doing a great job promoting places that don’t smoke, since there are lots of people looking for places like that,” said Najem. Second-hand smoke is what smokers exhale from lit cigarette. It contains more than 4,000 chemicals, 69 of which are known to cause cancer. Mayor Jim Watson declared Jan. 15 to 21 as National Non-Smoking Week in Ottawa highlighting the help that is available to help residents stop smoking.

Residents worry Landsdowne dome will cancel path plans Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC News - Just months after approving a new plan for Old Ottawa East, community members are worried the city is forsaking its commitment to constructing the Rideau River nature trail in order to find a new home for the sports dome that has to move out of Lansdowne Park. The city and the University of Ottawa have partnered in a plan to move to dome to the university’s Lees Avenue campus, and plans for the project were presented at a public open house at the campus on Jan. 17. But while a few people in attendance said they were excited about the prospect of a new sports facility in the neighbourhood, many more expressed concerns that the tight fit for the dome at 200 Lees Ave. would essentially make it impossible to construct the planned pathway. One section of the path-

way along the Rideau River at Springhurst Park has already been constructed, and the Old Ottawa East co mmunity design plan calls for pathway construction in the remaining sections that are currently informally used by residents in the area, including the University of Ottawa property, which is the “messiest” and most significant section, said pathway proponent Mary Trudeau. Silvio Miron, the university’s leader on the dome project, said the current dome plan doesn’t make it impossible to eventually construct the pathway, but he acknowledged that it would make it much more challenging to construct the trail in the future. Instead, the university has proposed filling the gap in a pathway that runs under the Transitway at the south end of the campus and along Lees Avenue and the Queensway at the front of the campus. The path would be im-

proved to make it passable by cyclists, and it would be lit. John Dance, president of the Old Ottawa East Community Association, said he has received little response from the city and the university when he has brought up the community’s concerns. “I don’t understand why the city isn’t more concerned about this,” Dance said. “Why is it that a year ago, it was seen as a critical missing link, and now it seems to have been forgotten.” That concern has now reached city hall, and a discussion with the university about the pathway plan is upcoming, said city spokesperson Jocelyne Turner. “The city is aware of the importance of this pathway in the freshly approved Old Ottawa East CDP (community design plan) and just recently in receipt of the development application is meeting with the University of Ottawa on this issue and expects a mutu-

ally agreeable solution to be announced shortly,” Turner wrote in an email. Turner wouldn’t comment further on the timing of that discussion, nor about whether the city would be pushing to see its pathway plan incorporated into the site’s redevelopment. But not everyone was concerned about the pathway. Lees Avenue resident Kevin Farrell, an avid University of Ottawa sports fan and season ticket-holder, was excited about the prospect of a new sports facility so close by. “I think it’s a wonderful idea,” he said. “I know the city was in a bind, and this worked out to be a great partnership.” University student Georges El-Hage just wanted to ensure the demolition of parts of the building at 200 Lees Ave. wouldn’t effect the mechanical engineering lab he works in – and according to the plans, it won’t.

Getting to know … Kyle Turris By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Kyle Turris has surely found his new hockey oasis. From toiling in the desert with the Phoenix Coyotes to a return to a hockey-mad market with the Ottawa Senators, Turris has seen his world undergo a massive sea change in just a few short months. But even in the middle of one of Ottawa’s famed frosty winters, the 22-year-old native of New Westminster, B.C., is a young man at peace with where the game — and life — has taken him. Obtained from the Coyotes on Dec. 17 in a deal for defenceman David Rundblad and a secondround draft pick, Turris wasted little time making an impact with his new team. Senators head coach Paul MacLean will tell you it’s more than just a coincidence that his team went 8-1-1 in its first 10 games with Turris in the lineup. The 6-1, 195-pounder quickly filled a need as the Senators’ second-line centre and produced 11 points in his first 15 games with the team. Turris was the No. 3 overall pick by the Coyotes in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. Six months later, he led Team Canada’s goldmedal winning squad in scoring at the 2008 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship in the Czech Republic. The newest Senator took some time out with Score to share some of his thoughts about hockey and more: Q: Who was your hockey hero growing up? A: Steve Yzerman. He was the best all-around hockey player, Detroit Red Wings captain, won the Stanley Cup (three times) … he was just unbelievable. Q: Tell us something about Vancouver that nobody would

know. A: You can go skiing and golfing in the same day. Q: What do you remember about your draft day? A: I remember everything. Waking up, getting ready, working out in the morning because the draft wasn’t until the afternoon, doing a couple of interviews, walking over to the rink (Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio), seeing the atmosphere, Wayne Gretzky calling my name to come up and join him on the podium because Phoenix had drafted me … it was a pretty neat experience. Q: Your favourite memory about world juniors. A: Winning the gold in overtime. The whole tournament was fun and the way Hockey Canada treated us was great. Q: Where do you keep that gold medal? A: I’ve got it in a safe back in Vancouver. Q: Other than the weather, the biggest difference between Phoenix and Ottawa. A: Here, I live about five minutes from the rink but back in Phoenix, I was about 35 minutes away. The hockey atmosphere is definitely quite a bit different here. Q: Name three people, living or dead, who you’d like to have dinner with. A: Muhammad Ali, Neil Armstrong (he was the first guy who walked on the moon and he’d be pretty interesting) and Albert Einstein (I read a book about him. He’d be pretty cool). Maybe Steve

like a little bit of everything. Q: Your favourite TV show. A: Modern Family is hilarious. I like Seinfeld, too. Q: Your favourite movie. A: Dumb and Dumber is pretty good. Q: Your favourite thing to do away from the rink. A: Just relaxing with my family and friends.

NEW YORK ISLANDERS

Also chiming in as offensive leaders are Matt Moulson and PA Parenteau, while Michael

Yzerman, too. Q: If you’re cooking dinner, what’s on the menu? A: Pasta. Something like a fettucine alfredo mix with marinara sauce, with a rib eye (steak) on the side Q: Your favourite music. A: I like relaxing to Jack Johnson type of stuff, and I like the Kings of Leon upbeat stuff. I

Grabner was a Calder Trophy finalist a year ago. On defence, the return to health of Mark Streit has been a boost for the Isles. Al Montoya and Evgeni Nabokov have split the majority of the goaltending chores.

TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS Saturday, Feb. 4, 7:00 p.m. CBC The Maple Leafs are pushing hard to end a six-year absence from the Stanley Cup playoffs. Offensively, much of Toronto’s fortunes rest in the hands of Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul, who both rank among the NHL’s top point-getters. Also chipping in to the Leafs’ attack are a forward group that includes Tyler Bozak, Mikhail Grabovski, Tim Connolly and Clarke MacArthur. On the blue

line, the leader of the pack is captain Dion Phaneuf, the lone Leaf voted into the 2012 Tim Hortons NHL All-Star Game by fans. James Reimer is the main man in goal for Toronto and he gets backup support from Johan Gustavsson.

Association vice president and Shiverfest organizer Jan Hynes said the changes are meant to reach out to new demographics in the community. “Because Shiverfest has in the past focused on very young children, we wanted something that would target kids in the teenager group,” Hynes said the of the band

showcase. As for the trivia contest, that’s for a whole different group altogether. “It’s more for the adults and seniors. We’re looking for people who want to get out and enjoy. We’re certainly going to encourage the elderly to come out, because it’s a fun event,” she said. The band showcase will take place Saturday, Jan. 28 from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Manotick arena hall. Four local bands, all with teenaged musicians, will take the stage for the all-ages event for teens and pre-teens aged about 11 to 15. Admission is free, and a pop and pizza combo costs $3. Manotick band Hollarado, which won a local battle of

the bands several years ago and now tours nationally, has donated a number of T-shirts that will be raffled off at the event. Hynes said the event existed last year but was billed more as a dance. “It was called a dance, but nobody danced. They’re teeny boppers and they go to listen to the bands, so we decided to make it more of a showcase of the local talent,” she said. Bands in the showcase include Portrait of an Artist, The Fairest, Discombobulated, and solo artist Bailey Stanutz. The trivia contest is brand new this year and is expected to attract about 70 people on Sunday afternoon, when it’s

hosted at the Mill Tavern between 1 and 4 p.m. Tickets are $15 each, with all proceeds going to the Raise the Roof campaign to replace the badly leaking roof at Watson’s Mill. Changes to the second annual chili cook-off on Saturday afternoon at the Manotick Legion include the creation of an amateur category and a professional category. Last year’s inaugural contest was open to residents and businesses without any categories, and as a result there was only one non-business winner. The fee to taste-test has gone up from $2 last year to $5, to help raise more money for Raise the Roof. Hynes said the event should be very

popular. “Last year it was very successful. We had 26 or 27 participants and the legion was packed (with tasters),” she said. Third place winner Ryan Keon, lawyer and former Liberal candidate in the area, isn’t able to participate this year but offered some sage advice to his fellow chili aficionados. “You’ve got to go absolutely up the middle with a totally basic, really good chili,” he said. “Everybody else makes exotic chilis, which are great, but the exotic chilis are very hit or miss. With your basic chili you come right up the middle.”

Despite the new additions, Shiverfest will still feature its classic events, including the Friday night family skate, bonfire and children’s party at the Manotick arena, the Kiwanis pancake breakfast on Saturday morning, and sleigh rides, tobogganing and skating at Centennial Park on Saturday afternoon. The Manotick Co-operative Nursery School will host a children’s fun time for ages two to six at the arena during the Kiwanis breakfast, and Dino Reptiles will showcase exotic lizards and snakes from 1 to 2 p.m. For a complete schedule of events visit www.manotickvca.org.

City making proactive ‘moves’ for pedestrians laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC News - Unlike many city initiatives, Downtown Moves isn’t looking to create the next “master” plan of anything to add to Ottawa’s overloaded shelf of planning documents. It’s goal is simple: when light-rail transit comes to Ottawa, the travel patterns of people in the downtown will drastically change. How can we think ahead and ensure the city makes it easier for them to

get where they will want to go in the core? That means the team working on the project is considering everything from the proposed Centretown community design plan’s idea to convert some north-south streets to two-way traffic, to the shape of curbs at key intersections. At the end of the process in December, the city will have a better idea of the aspects it needs to tackle to make sure people can get around downtown in the best way, whether that’s by foot, bicycle, train,

bus or car. It could include anything from advising that the city needs to hire a transportation planner dedicated to pedestrian issues to suggesting zoning changes to strengthen the city’s ability to create a livelier streetscape. “We’re going to push out and implement the different pieces in different ways,” said Nelson Edwards, the traffic planner leading the Downtown Moves project. “We’re creating a lens to look at everything we’re doing.” %&'+#(-'&'+

“I Am Your Children’s Aid.”

The project’s kickoff was the first indication that Downtown Moves would do things a bit differently. Instead of the standard open house in a church basement, the project launched with a series of lectures from top urban thinkers meant to inspire both the public and city staff to think differently and think big about mobility issues. It inspired Edwards to realize both the big and small picture: the overall transportation web in the downtown, as well as things as detailed as the timing of crosswalk signals. Between the buildings, the city has a swath of space it controls, Nelson said. In the future, we will need to change how we decide how much of that space is reserved for cars, how much for cyclists and how much for pedestrians, and that’s a framework Downtown Moves hopes to establish, Edwards said. It could mean the width of sidewalks might be determined based on the level of pedestrian traffic on that street, said transportation committee head Marianne Wilkinson, the councillor for Kanata North. “We’re looking at the kinds of concrete ideas that could be done to ease pedestrian access,” she said. “We’re looking at how we connect things.” It’s a positive direction, said Jordan Charbonneau, president of the Centretown Citi-

the container before you start pouring. Pour the soup over the back of the ladle. This breaks up the flow of chunks so they are less likely to splash into the liquid. If you have a bread machine or buy unsliced bread, it can be tricky to slice the last part of the loaf. When the bread reaches that point, place what’s left flat on the counter or cutting board. Cut the loaf in two so that, instead of being full height, each portion is half the height of the full loaf. The last of the bread will be much easier and safer to slice. Most automatic dishwasher instructions tell you to run water in the nearest tap until it’s hot, then to start up the dishwasher. If you have dishes that, for one reason or another, have to be washed by hand, run the water for them into the nearest sink first. You’ll have hot water for washing

Food ‘n Stuff EMC Lifestyle - When you dice or chop vegetables such as onion, peppers or potatoes on a cutting board, it can sometimes be a challenge to transfer small pieces to a measuring cup or saucepan without spilling them. The next time you have to do this, use an egg flipper. Slip it under the chopped vegetables, and you’ll be able to lift even the smallest pieces without any spills. This also works well when you need to transfer chopped nuts from the cutting board. If you’ve ever poured a chunky soup from a pot to a bowl or storage container, you know that it often splashes over everything nearby -- you, the stove and the kitchen counter. This happens because the liquid always goes into your container first, followed by the chunks that splash into the liquid. A simple solution is to turn a soup ladle upside down in

the special dishes as well as hot water ready for the dishwasher. Here’s another way to use less hot water. When you wash dishes and pots by hand, you probably rinse them with hot water. Before you start, run only enough hot water to fill the sink 3-4” deep. As you wash the dishes, rinse them under hot water and let that water run into your washing water. Your sink will gradually fill with hot water, and you’ll have enough to wash the large pots and pans at the end. If you want to make a quick cup of rich-tasting hot chocolate, pour 1% milk into a microwave-safe container or mug. Microwave on High for 1 minute and 30 seconds (for an 1100 watt oven) or 1 minute and 50 seconds (for a lower watt oven). Watch carefully near the end of the time. If the milk starts to boil, turn off the oven immediately, or the liquid will boil over. To the hot milk, add 1 heaping teaspoon of instant hot chocolate mix and 1 heaping teaspoon of coffee creamer. Stir, or whisk until dissolved. Marshmallows are optional. For adults, stir in 1/2-1 tsp. of Bailey’s Irish Cream liqueur.

Windsor Park Manor Retirement Lifestyle

Designed For Your Comfort

Windsor Park Manor: Built by Caring Hands, Made into a Home by Loving Hearts On December 15 of 2011, the Ottawa Fire Service received a call they dread the most: a fire reported in a senior’s residence. When they landed a short few minutes later at the front door of Windsor Park Manor at 990 Hunt Club Road, they found the staff had already organized the evacuation and care of just over 100 residents without any muss or fuss or so much as a broken fingernail. City Fire Chief John deHooge called it a “textbook case of everyone knowing their jobs and working together”. And the superior skills and actions of the staff didn’t end there. In contrast to what certain local media reported, only a few residents were displaced for a single overnight with local family, but they were back the next day thanks to a very efficient organization of replacement beds and furniture (needed due to water and smoke damage only) and swift and careful reallocation of suites and rooms. The kitchen, dining hall, and all the various amenities and activity and exercise rooms were in full function with absolutely no interruption of service. In fact to this day many residents wonder what all the fuss was about. This is because not only were staff prepared (thanks to the implementation and repeated practises of fire drills), but because every resident knew their part as well. And a mere few weeks after the fact, all the repairs (localized to one section of one wing) are in progress and the rooms will be fresh and ready for oc-

cupation once more. The keys to this success and the overwhelming acceptance of Windsor Park Manor

by Ottawa and area residents as a premiere senior’s lifestyle home are effective planning and communication: words that general manager and co-owner Diane Thauvette-Chenier has lived by all her life. Diane is no stranger to creating and operating seniors’ residences, having been in business for over 25 years. Windsor Park stands out from the vast majority of seniors’ residences in the region ﬁrst and foremost by its local non-conglomerate ownership. Diane and well known seniors’ residential expert Rejean Lemay have joined with dedicated local partners to create this truly unique home. This allows Diane and her management and operations teams to adjust, react, and change any facet in order to meet her clients’ needs and wishes (or as she prefers to call them, family). In fact on a monthly basis Diane meets with all the residents for a ‘speak-out’ forum, an event that seldom has less than 80% attendance. This allows Diane to communicate any improvements in the daily household routine and more importantly it allows residents to voice their opinions. After all, as Diane puts it: “this is their home, not just a business”. Now entering its third year, Windsor Park Manor has distinguished itself in many other ways. Competitive monthly fees are allinclusive with full meal and snack packages, medication administration, housekeeping, laundry, recreation, and bathing assistance if required. Every room (in fact the entire facility) is equipped with wireless internet. And even TV cable services and long distance

phone coverage to all of North America and Mexico are included. The dining services include a wide variety of menu choices and everything is prepared and cooked onsite. Each of the two living levels is equipped with snack lounges that are open and stocked 24 hours a day, seven days a week for anyone with a late night craving or desiring a mid-afternoon tea. Diane knows that even the food from best luxury resort dining halls may get a little boring day after day, so variety is always on the menu at Windsor Park Manor. Family members are welcomed to be part of the decision-making process when a parent or loved one is considering the move to a retirement or senior’s residence. Diane and her staff take the time to demonstrate the advantages that Windsor Park Manor offers as well as the thought and design that went into breathtaking suites and balcony views, and all the beautiful common-use rooms such as the chapel, movie theatre, library, activity lounges, and numerous sitting rooms. There’s even underground parking so no one has to face the frosty task of de-icing their vehicle. A fully qualified RN is on duty Mondays through Fridays and RPN’s cover the facility 24 hours a day, every day. A suite of doctors’ offices is located on the lower level and two MD’s pay weekly visits to Windsor Park Manor. Every room is equipped with a two-way communication system which also has stations throughout the hallways and common rooms. This system proved its worth when notifying staff and residents of the fire evacuation event leading to a speedy and smooth operation. All of this adds to the confidence that residents and their families enjoy when making Windsor Park Manor their choice. They can rest assured that no matter what health challenges may come, this truly family home can provide the level of care and assistance needed. Windsor Park Manor offers short-term accommodation for those needing a convalescence recharge or who may be interested in a trial stay to see if the luxury lifestyle it offers on an affordable plan is right for them. Of course, these temporary stays bring no obligation.

Diane may be on site every day, but seldom is in her office, preferring instead to get out and visit with her large extended family. She encourages all of her staff to do the same, although it hardly seems necessary as no one passes a resident in the hallway or in the dining area without taking the time to inquire about health, family, or other topics. This helps to keep the medical team in the know about any changes to anyone’s general condition so that quick and effective action can be taken to minimize any risks and keep everyone’s quality of life at the top of the scale. While Windsor Park Manor is a complete living centre unto itself with hair-care facilities on-site as well as a full array of physical and mental activities to extend the good health of everyone, its location was carefully selected. Being close to the airport brings easy access for out-of-town family visits and makes snow-bird travel absolutely worry-free for those who take advantage of the sunny south. Major shopping and medical centres are only a short shuttle ride away and a wealth of area hotels can accommodate any visiting family or friends who want to have an extended time with resident family members. The grounds of Windsor Park provide a safe and enjoyable outdoor experience which is vital to good physical and mental fitness. The central courtyard always seems to have something in bloom thanks to gardening staff and those green-thumbed seniors that are happiest when their hands are in the soil. The exterior perimeter landscaping was created as a natural walking trail around the building and it sees regular use almost all year long. For a very complete information resource on every facet of Windsor Park Manor simply log onto www.windsorparkmanor.ca. True to Diane’s open, honest, and accountable style of doing things, you’ll find everything you need to know from floor plans to detailed pricing and everything in between. You can call 613-249-0722 or send an email to info@ windsorparkmanor.ca. You may discover what everyone living at Windsor Park knows: it takes more than bricks and mortar to make a home, it takes family. (-'%*(#%&'+

Ottawa Police Chief Vern White will be leaving his position on Feb. 20, when he will take a seat in the Senate. 384828_0119

Ottawa is set to promote its first police chief from within its ranks in a dozen years, according to the head of the police services board. The board was set to meet on Monday (after this newspaper went to press), but board member Mayor Jim Watson and the rest of the police services board members appear to agree that limiting the search for Vern White’s replacement to members of the Ottawa Police Service is the best plan, according to the board chairman, Coun. Eli Eli-Chantiry.

“They, like me, feel the service is more than ever able to pick the chief within the organization,” El-Chantiry said. The position of chief will be vacated on Feb. 20, when White will take a seat in the Senate. A national search would take around three months, ElChantiry said, and that would require the appointment of an interim chief who would not be a candidate for the chief’s position. The last chief to have been promoted from within the force’s ranks was Brian Ford, who served as chief from 1993 to 2000.

Ottawa South EMC - Thursday, January 26, 2012

The police services board was set vote on Jan. 23 on whether to limit the search to the two deputy chiefs, to all internal candidates, or whether to look outside the force. The board could also choose to leave all those options open, El-Chantiry said. But his conversations with board members have convinced El-Chantiry that the succession planning the board directed White to undertake has paid off, and the best candidate will be an officer from the force. “We have good candidates. We have more than half a dozen people fully bilingual, fully educated,” El-Chantiry said. “We get to choose, not just from one or two, but we have quite a few of them. “I think the board is in a good position to say, ‘The time has come,’” he said. Deputy chiefs Charles Bordeleau and Gilles Larochelle will likely be considered strong candidates for the leadership role, White said. But the chief has said he can also think of two superintendants who could step up and take over as chief, although he wouldn’t name them. There are no legal requirements to publically post the position – final authority rests with the police board to choose whoever the members prefer, El-Chantiry said.

City launches rent relief program Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

Your Children’s Aid To Call or Not to Call? Since introducing the column a few months ago and adding a new email address for general inquiries and questions on our web site we have heard from many community members. The overarching concern for many seems to be the uncertainty of whether calling the CAS is the right thing to do when there is a concern for a child. Some of you have had a hunch, some of you have witnessed first-hand the abusive treatment of a child or youth, but all of you report that making that phone call is an extremely difficult decision to make. Identifying child abuse for the untrained eye can be difficult. However, we all have a sense of when things just don’t feel right. What are the signs that cause someone to be concerned for a child’s safety and well-being? Often times indicators of abuse are as subtle as seeing a child consistently inappropriately dressed on cold winter days, or noticing a young child who seems to be left alone after school. These are the times when ascertaining whether or not to call the CAS is challenging. Unfortunately, the fears of being wrong or of meddling in affairs that aren’t our own seem to be large influencers in swaying people into looking the other way. The Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa’s telephone intake team are experienced in receiving information from concerned community members. They ask questions of the callers to help determine if the concern is a matter that warrants the involvement of the Children’s Aid Society. Over the course of a year, the CAS receives over 25,000 calls, and a large number of those calls are simply questions from concerned community members for our intake workers. We call them consultations. Some of these calls are made anonymously. Not every call is investigated, and perhaps after gathering information that is provided to us all that a family needs is to be connected to appropriate services within the community. However, in some cases, it is that tiny bit of inconspicuous information, based on small observations and a gut feeling that something just isn’t right, that helps paint a picture of an unsafe, unhealthy, or abusive family environment in the home. It is important for the community to know that the role of the CAS is not only to investigate reports of abuse and to assess and intervene when necessary. The CAS can also provide education and supports to families in the city who are unsure where to turn for assistance. It is far better to call the CAS and be wrong about your suspicions than to not call and potentially leave a child at risk of harm.

ate the impact of that program ending, city staff told the committee. A rent supplement is paid directly to the individual who benefits from it, not to the landlord, as rent subsidies are paid. Because of that, there is a monthly tracking process to ensure the household is still eligible. In order to be eligible, individuals need to be at least 16 years old and legal residents of Canada. Their annual income must not be more than Statistics Canada’s “before-tax low” and they cannot be living in rent geared to income housing.

communities throughout the city, not only through socialservice agencies, but also other community groups including churches. Since the program is meant to target people who are having temporary financial struggles, the people who would benefit from it the most may not be visiting social-service agencies and therefore may never find out about the rent supplements. There are already 350 households in Ottawa benefitting from a provincial rent supplement program that will expire in March of 2013 and the city has about a million dollars in a fund to help allevi-

EMC News - A program to supplement struggling peoples’ rent is finally getting underway. The program, which is set to help 180 households a year, was part of the city’s new $14million commitment to housing and alleviating homelessness made last year, but the supplements were held up as city staff struggled to get the province to sign off on the program. The program will provide $250 per month to 180 individuals at immediate and temporary risk of losing their current accommodations, plus $50 for each additional member of the household. There will also be monthly allowances of $250 for 20 homeless people. The rent-supplement program is part of the city’s multipronged approached under the $14-million fund. Handing an allowance to people in a temporary financial pinch is cheaper for the city to administrate and contributes to “mixed neighbourhoods” with residents from different income levels and backgrounds, staff said. The city’s community and protective services committee approved the terms of reference for how the program will operate during a Jan. 18 meeting. “This is going to make a definitive difference for a lot

of folks who are living on the thin razor’s edge of being able to make it every month or not,” said Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, who heads the committee. Helping families and individuals with a temporary boost as they get back on their feet can prevent them from becoming homeless, which is not only a bad situation for the families themselves, but also for the city and province, because they then become more of a burden on social-assistance programs. Rent supplements are also one of the few affordable housing strategies that can benefit people in all areas of the city, including rural areas. West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, a member of the city’s community and protective services committee, said the supplement program casts a wider net for citizens from all areas of the city who face housing insecurity. “We have to … think big. Think bigger than the core of the city,” El-Chantiry said. “There are rural residents … they could stay in their own house, their own farms, and she or he needs a little bit of help to stay at home. But if you don’t give them that little bit of help, sometimes you’re forcing him to leave the home and become a bigger picture in the social system.” El-Chantiry charged staff with ensuring the programwould be well publicized in

Choosing the right summer camp

It can be difﬁcult to envision warm summer days when the wind is blowing and the snow is falling. However, the winter months are a great time to explore summer camp options. In fact, many camps have strict enrollment timelines that require decisions to be made prior to spring. Attending summer camp has been a tradition in the United States for more than 150 years. Statistics indicate that around 30 million American kids attend summer camp each year. There are many beneﬁts to summer camp. Camp enables children to stay engaged during the summer when there may be limited interaction with school friends. It also gives parents both a safe and viable daycare solution during the summer. Summer camp pulls together children from different neighborhoods, social classes and backgrounds, which can make it a good place to meet new people -- some of whom may become lifelong friends. Camps also provide a variety of activities that can challenge children to try new things that go beyond their comfort zones.

Some children are very receptive to the idea of attending summer camp. Others need a little coaxing. But summer camp should never be forced on a child who does not want to go. In such instances, consider local daytime programs that may fill the void instead of programs that require being away from home. Once the decision for summer camp is made, there are some questions to answer. * What are your finances like? Do you have a budget for summer camp? * What size camp do you desire? * Should the camp be co-ed or single sex? * How far do you want your child to travel for summer camp? What are the options in your area? * Are there any camps that have been recommended by friends or family members? * What kinds of activities do your children enjoy? These types of questions will help you narrow down your options. Then you can visit and interview camps to find one that is the best fit. When visiting camps, go armed with a checklist of

questions. Some of these can include: * What is the philosophy of the camp? * Can you explain a typical day? * What are the types of activities and facilities offered? * What is the camper-tocounselor ratio? * What is the camp’s drug/ alcohol policy? * Does the camp have insurance and security personnel? * What percentage of staff return each year? How are staff selected and trained? * What kind of health care is provided? * Can you tell me about the policy on phone calls and family visits? * What do you do in the event of emergencies? There are many different camps available. Some offer a “little bit of everything.” Others cater to academics, sports, speciﬁc hobbies or even religious preferences. Don’t wait too long to research and sign up for camps because many ﬁll up quite early or have an extensive waiting list. That is why choosing a camp should be part of a winter to-do list.

Campside treat gets revamped

S’mores is one of the most popular desserts enjoyed around the campfire and at cookouts. Now you can enjoy the flavor of this delectable dessert without the fuss of toasting marshmallows over an open flame. S’mores history dates back to the early 20th century. While the actual recipe origin is unknown -- considering most camping recipes were passed down from generation to generation -- the first printed recipe for s’mores appeared in 1927 in the Girl Scout Handbook. S’mores were popular campside treats because of the portability of ingredients. It was easy to pack a bag of marshmallows, a box of graham crackers and a few bars of chocolate. The combination of sticky marshmallow, smooth, rich chocolate and crunchy graham crackers provides a perfect melding of flavors. However, s’mores weren’t the first pairing of these ingredients. Mallomar cookies and Moonpies also featured these ideal components. To make a delicious des-

sert that builds upon the s’mores ﬂavors and theme at your next summertime event, try this recipe for Frozen S’mores Cake. Frozen S’mores Cake 1 quart vanilla ice cream 1 quart chocolate ice cream 10 or 12 graham cracker squares 1/4 cup melted butter 1/2 tablespoon sugar 1 jar of hot fudge 1 bag mini-marshmallows 2 tablespoons water Vegetable shortening Crush graham crackers in a zipper-lock bag or pulse in a food processor until made into crumbs. Add sugar and melted butter to the crumbs, mix and press into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes, or until the crust browns a bit. Soften ice cream by letting it sit out of the freezer for a few minutes. Use a spatula or spoon to spread the chocolate ice cream over

the cooled graham cracker crust. Spread desired amount of fudge topping over the chocolate ice cream. Then spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the fudge layer. Coat a microwave-safe bowl with a thin layer of shortening. Add most of the marshmallows, reserving a few for garnish, and the water to the bowl. Microwave for about a minute to a minute and a half until the marshmallows are melted. Top the vanilla ice cream with the melted marshmallows. Place the cake in the freezer overnight to harden. When ready to serve, place the garnish marshmallows on top and drizzle with a little melted hot fudge. You can use a kitchen torch or a barbecue lighter to add a little browning to the garnish marshmallows to make them look like they were toasted over a ﬁre. Slice and enjoy quickly before it melts. This cake also makes a great alternative to a store-bought ice cream birthday cake.

example, many private day care organizations open up their doors to campers for the summer. They may set a limit on age. Also, churches, synagogues and other houses of worship may offer a summer recreation program. If you are a parishioner you might be eligible for a discounted rate. Don’t forget to check out the YMCA or other clubs in the area. They typically offer a summer program. Some places offer payment plans to spread out the financial responsibility, while others may offer scholarships based on financial need. Find out if your child’s elementary school has a program for the summer. Some may offer crafts, sports and other activities for a few hours during the day. This is a benefit to parents who have to work and cannot have their children home alone each day. Bus service may be available.

If you’ve exhausted other options, get creative. If you have a number of reliable friends or neighbors, you can set up a camp rotation. Each member of the camp group will be responsible for the kids on a particular day. The responsibilities rotate among the other parents. This enables free time for adults during the summer, and the potential to stagger work schedules and accommodate children being out of school. Older adults, such as grandparents or other relatives, also may be able to assist in “camp” duties during the summer. Children, students and seniors often have a reduced admission rate to museums. Spending time together will help generations bond. If you missed the registration deadline for summer camp or simply cannot afford it this year, there are other alternatives to keep children engaged during the vacation months.

Not every family can afford summer camp or chooses to have their children attend. But faced with two long months of vacation from school, what options are there for keeping children occupied during the lazy days of summer? A top-run, private, sleepaway camp can cost around $10,000 for the season. In today’s tight economic climate, many families are choosing to scale back expenses, and that includes pricey summer camp. However, just because cost is a factor, it doesn’t mean that children can’t attend camp this season. Parents simply need to do their research or come up with other creative alternatives. First, investigate the opportunities in your area. Summer camp doesn’t have to mean eight weeks of recreation in the middle of the wilderness. There may be locally run businesses that also offer summer programs. For

Chewing gum a filthy habit according to Miss Crosby EMC Lifestyle - Gum was forbidden by Miss Crosby. Not only in the Northcote School, but within a country mile of the school yard! Chewing gum was right up there with swearing or telling a lie, both of which could earn you a good strapping if caught. Miss Crosby called chewing gum a “filthy habit.” Now, Two Mile Herman didn’t pay much attention to the rules at the Northcote School. Oh, he didn’t really swear...sometimes he said “darn”, and he only lied if it was absolutely necessary. But he was known to talk out loud after we were in our seats, which was forbidden, and it took him forever to get down to work after prayers and singing God Save the King, both of which he was known to ignore taking part in. Two Mile Herman loved gum. Wrigley’s came in sticks in green wrappers, and it was rumoured that Two Mile Herman spent every cent on gum at Briscoe’s General Store that ever came his way.

Mary Cook’s Memories BY MARY COOK

He was known to cram three or four sticks in his mouth at one time. And he chewed it with his mouth wide open, so you could always see a big wad of Wrigley’s swishing around his teeth. It was a cold winter’s day when the whole subject of Two Mile Herman’s love of gum caused such an uproar at the Northcote School, that it was forever after known as the “day Two Mile Herman got caught with his pants down.” You could find wads of gum all over the school that Two Mile stashed for later chewing. If he had to get rid of it in a hurry, he could poke it into the door jam, under a window sill where no one could see it, and Cecil

said he knew for a fact there was enough gum under Two Mile’s seat and desk to fill a milk can. Of course, he could retrieve it too. And it wasn’t beyond him, on his way out the door, to be seen, without even looking at it, to reach out and grab the wad he had placed there an hour or so before. He never lost track of where he had stuck the last mouthful. Well, one day, it was if he had taken leave of his senses. He was rolling a big lump of gum around in his mouth when Miss Crosby had ordered us to our seats for morning prayer. I heard Cecil whisper loud enough that he could be heard two rows over... “Two Mile… your gum.” I saw Two Mile put three fingers in his mouth, grab the gum, and press it onto the leg of his overalls. It was the custom at the Northcote School, for Miss Crosby to ask one of the pupils to come forward and lead in singing God Save the King. The prayer was over, and as luck would have it, she called out Herman’s name. He either forgot about the gum on his leg, or he figured it was too late to do anything about it. By now it was pretty well anchored to his overall just above his knee. Of course, it didn’t take Miss Crosby more than a split second to spot the gum. She let a roar out of her that could be heard in Douglas and demanded to know where

the gum came from. Well, if nothing else, Two Mile Herman was a quick thinker. He looked down at his leg as if he had never laid eyes on it before. The teacher ordered him out into the cloak room, which wasn’t really a room at all, just a partition separating the school room from the doorway. He was made to take off his overalls, and Miss Crosby followed him with the scissors. “Now, scrape it off,” she bellowed. None of us dared turn around in our seats to watch the performance, but we knew he would be out there standing in his long underwear. My sister Audrey, in Senior Fourth, wondered if Miss Crosby was more mad about the gum, or over wasting most of the morning. At any rate, Two Mile Herman emerged eventually with his overalls back on, and the gum was gone. Audrey said Miss Crosby was too worn out to administer the strap, and eventually, the school room returned to normal. Then it was time for recess. Of course, we all headed back to the cloak room to get our coats. Two Mile Herman was the first to grab his off a hook. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He had stashed his wad of gum on the underpart of the board that held the hooks, and when he left the school to play outside, the gum was back in his mouth, swishing around as if it had never left it.

Merivale High School grad Jenna Gilbert scored a team-high 19 points, including the deciding basket, in her University of Ottawa Gee-Gees’ 59-55 victory over the Carleton Ravens at last week’s Capital Hoops Classic at Scotiabank Place. Photo by Dan Plouffe

Gee Gee welcomes reunion with former high school coach RAVENS, from 1

Sparks couldn’t be more pleased to welcome Lennox’s consistent veteran presence to his lineup. With an average of eight points per game, scoring isn’t the main focus for Lennox, but she’s ﬁtting into an important role for the GeeGees, highlights the fourthyear university coach.

“She does a great job defensively, she rebounds the heck out of the ball, and those are the things that coaches love,” says Sparks, who’s found that Lennox really hasn’t changed much from high school until now. “Bess has always been the same. Her work ethic is second to no one. She’s always

rebounding, and she’s always been a coach’s dream.” The current Canadian Interuniversity Sport leader with 160 rebounds through 15 games, Lennox is only 19 boards away from breaking the all-time Ontario University Athletics rebounding mark of 986 owned by Kanata native Cassandra Carpenter, a

former Laurentian Voyageur. That’s one part of the chance Lennox has to ﬁnish her university career on a high. It’s also likely the ﬁnal season of her playing career overall, she acknowledges, with plans to move into the working world once the second year of her master’s is complete. Lennox has always had her

eye on a career with the United Nations since she was a star athlete in many sports at Elmdale Public School, although she’s become especially intrigued in recent years by the growing effort behind “sport for development” movements, not only internationally but in Canada as well. “Sport can be a great ve-

hicle to overcome some tough circumstances,” notes Lennox, an honour role student all four years she studied history at Western. “Sport has given me so much and so many opportunities. It’s difﬁcult to see that some people can’t afford it and don’t have access to these opportunities.”

Factors to consider when choosing a dog The decision to purchase or adopt a dog is one that requires careful consideration of a host of factors, including how much space the dog will need and whether or not the lifestyle of those who live in the home is a good fit for a furry, four-legged friend. Once the decision has been made and it’s time find a dog, the kind of dog to bring into your home is the next decision that must be made. Many people have a natural preference for certain types of dogs, be it a small and lovable Dachsund or a friendly, happy-go-lucky Golden Retriever. Though personal preference is significant, there are additional factors to consider before bringing a dog into your home. Temperament Much like people, dogs vary greatly with regards to temperament. Some dogs are very active, while others are much more subdued. Some need significant play time outdoors on a daily basis, while others just need a few minutes outdoors to relieve themselves before heading back inside. A dog’s temperament is important to consider for those bringing a puppy into their home, as temperament might dictate if a dog is responsive to training or strong-willed and resistant. Maintenance

Many dogs shed significant amounts of hair, but how often they shed might help owners determine if a specific breed of dog will be a good fit. For owners who don’t mind maintenance, a dog that sheds year-round likely won’t be a problem. But those who don’t want to be cleaning up dog hair on a regular basis should find a dog that sheds only at certain times of the year. In general, long-coated dogs require lots of grooming, while dogs with shorter coats typically don’t need as much grooming. Size Prospective dog owners with lots of space in their homes can accommodate a dog of any size, while apartment dwellers or those with smaller homes often find smaller dogs to be a better fit. But even those with ample space should know that larger dogs require more food and exercise, including walks or time spent running around in the yard. Smaller dogs don’t need much space, and tend to eat less and stay healthy even with minimal exercise. Age Few people can resist a puppy, but there are advantages and disadvantages to adopting both puppies and older dogs. Puppies are adorable, and allow their owners to be involved in their development from the very beginning. But puppies can be

stubborn and very difficult to train, often testing their owners’ patience. In addition, those with especially busy or hectic households might not have the time to properly train a puppy, which can lead to disastrous consequences down the road. Older dogs are often trained already, and since many shelter dogs have already grown to their full size, owners won’t be surprised down the road when their dogs are bigger than they expected. But older dogs adopted from a shelter might have some initial trust issues they need to overcome. Older dogs might also find it more difficult to adapt to a new home and a new owner. Health Some breeds are known for having specific health issues, issues that can become costly to address as a dog ages. Hip and eye conditions are among the most common hereditary diseases or conditions, but these can be screened for before the pet adoption is completed. Purebred dogs might be more likely to suffer from certain hereditary conditions, though mixed breeds are not immune to such diseases or conditions. Before adopting an animal, be it a puppy or an older dog, educate yourself about a chosen breed and any potential health problems it might have.

If your pet goes missing this winter, what are the chances it will find its way home?

This neutered male, gray Chinese Sharpei and Weimaraner mix is about four months old and has been at the Ottawa Humane Society since January 6 when he was surrendered by his owner. He is the colour of a yellow lab, has one brown eye and one blue eye, is growing quickly, and looking for a family to include him in their lives. This active pup has energy to spare and will need lots of exercise and play time every day! He has a lot of potential to be an obedience star and is just waiting for someone to steer him in the right direction. Puppy classes would be a great ﬁrst step. Winston gets along well with cats who have lived with dogs before and other dogs whose energy-level matches his. Older children (age 10+) would be best suited to this pup because he is still learning his manners. Winston would beneﬁt from a crate to help him learn proper housetraining.

Jr. Sens, Hawks game gets stuck in a rut Matthew Jay matthew.jay@metroland.com

EMC Sports – Baseball fans regularly deal with rain delays and postponements due to inclement weather – if the skies grow dark on a July afternoon, the game may very well get called off. Even soccer players, known to carry on amidst downpours and snow flurries, scurry for cover if lightning is spotted nearby. But calling off a hockey game? In January? Just ask the Ottawa Jr. Senators and Hawkesbury Hawks what it’s like. The two teams saw their Central Canada Hockey League contest at the Jim Durrell Complex called off midway through the second period on Jan. 18 after the ice was deemed unsafe by the refereeing crew. Play was stopped with 12:09 remaining in the second frame after a significant rut in the ice approximately a metre long and about 12 centimetres wide was identi-

fied along the boards on the far side across from the team benches and scorers table. Game officials and arena staff attempted for more than 45 minutes to repair the section of ice, but after meeting with coaching staff and management of each team, the decision was made to abandon the game. At the time play was halted, Hawkesbury was leading what was otherwise an uninspired matchup by a score of 2-0. The game will be replayed in its entirety at a date yet to be determined. JR. SENS CORRAL STALLIONS

Bouncing back from what might have been their fourth loss in a row, the Jr. Senators were back on the ice at the Jim Durrell on Saturday, Jan. 21 when the downed the Kanata Stallions 4-1. Led by three points from forward Josh Pitt, Ottawa picked up two valuable points in the playoff race. The win

kept them a point ahead of Hawkesbury and the Pembroke Lumber Kings in the race for the fifth playoff seed, although those two teams have two and four games in hand on the Jr. Senators, respectively. Ben Robillard, Pitt, Ryan Crosson and Conor Brown scored for the Jr. Sens, who peppered Stallions goalie Brandon Lane’s net with 50 shots. Ottawa goaltender Eddie Zdolshek stopped 24 shots to pick up his 20th win of the season. Curtis Watson scored the lone goal for the Stallions, who are now two points behind the Smiths Falls Bears for the eighth and final CCHL playoff spot. Kanata is due to host the Fred Page Cup in April, which will pit the winners of the Maritime Junior A Hockey League, Quebec Junior AAA Hockey League and Central Canada Hockey League against the hosts for the cup and a berth in the RBC Cup.
