EMC news – A request to build a new elementary school in Findlay Creek kept its spot on the Ottawa Carleton-District School Board’s capital priority list following the board’s business service committee meeting on April 30. The project continued to sit at position 12 on ranked capital priorities. The school board will however have to carry out a full accommodation review before any construction can begin. Area trustee Mark Fisher hopes to have the review begin this fall. “The later we do the review, the longer it will take to develop the business case for a need for a new elementary school in Findlay Creek. I want to make sure the review is done sooner rather than later,” said trustee Mark Fisher. BROADVIEW P.S.

After weeks of debate among trustees, Westboro’s Broadview Public School has been re-designated from a renovation to a rebuild on the board’s capital priorities list to be submitted to the province by the end of the month. However, Broadview, which is currently fourth on the list as a $5.5 million renovation project, could be bumped to a place lower on the list as a $15 million rebuild. The school’s placement and the final capital priorities list will be approved at a board meeting scheduled for May 8 before it is sent to the province by May 31. W.E. Gowling School in Carlington was also added to the list, recommended for $1 million in renovations. SCHOOL BOARD, see 3

City makes a splash in Fairlea Park Residents get first look at plans for splash pad during public meeting Eddie Rwema Eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – After waiting for nearly 14 years, kids in Fairlea in the city’s south-end can look forward to a new splash pad before the end of the summer. The City of Ottawa’s plans to build a splash pad in Fairlea Park were on display during a public meeting held at the Albion Heatherington Recreation Centre on April 24. The new water structure can accommodate up to seven different types of spray features, based on the available project

budget and the size of the splash pad, according to city’s senior project manager Paul Landry. “We want to hear from residents as to what they want to see in this pad and we will try to make it happen,” said Landry. Plans to construct the $185,000 splash pad were approved in this year’s city budget. City planners hope to have the shovels in the ground by mid-June with construction expected to be completed just before the end of summer. “We hope we can get some kids cooling off towards the end of the summer,” said Landry. “The sooner we get the shovels in the ground the better.” Splash pads are more affordable and they don’t require supervision, said Landry.

“They are important because they become one more gathering place for the community. They (provide) a great place to sit around,” he said. When open, the splash pad will provide hours of safe water fun to hundreds of kids and families in Fairlea. “This splash pad is extremely important to this community and it is something they have been hoping for, for a long time,” said Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans. “We are very fortunate to get it.” She said Fairlea community has a lot of children and thinks the splash pad will be well received and used by residents. “I hope it will be a real magnet for residents to come out and enjoy their community park,” she said.

My colleagues and I are proposing legislation that would provide stronger protection for Ontario families when they sign cell phone contracts. The proposed Wireless Services Agreements Act would make it easier for consumers to understand the costs and terms of wireless services agreements, while ensuring that service providers are upfront with information before contracts are signed. Helping consumers make informed choices is part of our government’s commitment to educate, protect and serve Ontarians by ensuring a fair and informed marketplace.

Peter Stockdale, president of the Fairlea Community Association, said the pad was long overdue. “I have been campaigning for this water park for 14 years - since my daughter was eight. I am exceedingly grateful that it is finally coming,� he said. Stockdale said he hopes the splash pad will bring a positive change for one of Ottawa’s most notorious neighbourhoods, known for criminal activity involving gangs, guns and drugs. “It is something that we really need considering what has been taking place here. We need a positive feeling for our community and the programming that goes with that,� he said.

The addition of a splash pad to the Fairlea Park is something good that is required to turn around the community, said Stockdale. “We have been working with the residents to try to make the community safe and to do some rebuilding and this is just the start of turning Fairlea community around.� For Ottawa South community police officer, Gary McCoy, Fairlea Park can be a vulnerable area if good healthy people aren’t using it. “When add something in the park that can be attractive to young families, children and their mothers, it is going to send a positive message to the community,� said McCoy. “People who are currently using the park to deal drugs and commit acts of violence are going to quickly learn – you don’t do it here.�

Ottawa public school board committee sets school priorities list Earlier in the evening, trustees spoke out about the process of changing Broadview to a rebuild, an issue originally discussed at an April 11 meeting. Kanata trustee Cathy Curry called that meeting “horrible,â€? saying the process of adding Broadview as a re-build hurts the public’s conďŹ dence in the trustees. “The saddest comment I’ve had in Kanata is, should we have buttons made,â€? said Curry, referring to the “Build a Better Broadviewâ€? buttons worn by parents representing that school. “What I see happening in other communities is they’re saying we should be louder. I’d like us to do something with Broadview, but through the right process.â€? Trustee Jennifer McKenzie said she agreed that there needs to be a better process, but that Broadview has been on the priority list for years and there’s been “no signiďŹ cant investments since.â€? “We’ve had a lot of dialogue across the city and that’s been very healthy. It’s

been difďŹ cult, but healthy,â€? McKenzie said. “As a board, we need to have in place a plan to look at how we fund new schools built across the district.â€? There was also some discussion on a proposal from trustees Donna Blackburn and John Shea’s recommending the sale of the Ottawa Technical High School property at 440 Albert St. and using the proceeds to help fund capital projects in the urban core. Broadview parent Reid McDougall criticized the idea, saying it would only further divide the board into those schools inside the greenbelt and those outside it. He added the proceeds from the sale would be insufďŹ cient to address renovations in the urban areas and makes for an “unsustainableâ€? solution. The sale proposal was briey discussed, but trustees voted to revisit that option at a later meeting. Taz Mawji from the LongďŹ elds-Davidson Heights Secondary School council also spoke, saying a new addition for the Barrhaven school needs to be maintained on the

capital priority list. She said the school is over capacity by eight per cent and there are already 10 portables on the site. “Students and staff are being short changed,â€? Mawji said. A new Kanata north elementary school is still highest on the list for a new school, while Mutchmor Public School is second, as it requires an addition/renewal to allow the board to execute its downtown accommodation plans. Speaking at the meeting, board superintendent Mike Carson said the Broadview rebuild wouldn’t come before the LongďŹ elds-Davidson Heights addition on the list. While some trustees criticized the process that led to the decision to approve a rebuild for Broadview, McKenzie said it has been an open process. “We’ve had an interesting dialogue and discussion,â€? she said. “It’s not fair to say no one knows this process is going on. We couldn’t have had more publicity. It has been fair, open and transparent.â€?

Police investigate Alta Vista sex assault eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news - Ottawa police are investigating the report of two sexual assault and a suspicious incident that happened in the morning hours of April 27 in the Alta Vista neighbourhood. In a statement, police said one call came in for a suspicious incident at Drake Avenue and Knox Crescent at about

7:20 a.m when a 22-year-old woman was followed by a suspicious man from Hurdman Station to a Riverview Public School. The man did not approach the woman but was seen entering the school. At approximately 7:40 am, a 19-year old woman was walking in the 1600 block of Dorion Avenue, when a male approached from behind and

proceeded to pull her pants down. A struggle ensued and the male walked calmly away. At approximately 8:00 am, a 41-year old woman was victimized in the same manner while walking on Industrial Avenue near Alta Vista Drive. Police said the suspect is described as a white male, between 20 and 25 years, medium build, short black hair

wearing a dark hooded jacket, blue jeans and a dark baseball cap. “No updates at this time. We are actively investigating,” said Staff Sgt. John McGetrick of the sexual assault unit. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ottawa Police Sexual Assault/Child Abuse Section at 613-236-1222 ext. 5944 or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477 (TIPS).

EMC news - Preparations are underway to celebrate the one of the Glebe’s most cherished green spaces this summer when Central Park turns 100. Leading the initiative for the Glebe Community Association is Johanna Persohn, the association’s heritage committee chairwoman, who unveiled the plans at an April 24 meeting. Thanks to the efforts of an ad-hoc committee consisting of members from both the heritage committee and the parks committee, Persohn said the event will also feature the dedication of a plaque designating the Clemow Estates as a heritage district. “It is going to be a fun event,” Persohn said at the meeting. A preliminary schedule for the day’s events includes the plaque dedication, a guided walk around the park with heritage keepers and information about 20 Clemow

Ave., a home which is currently undergoing significant restorations. As for the walk in the park, Persohn said the ad-hoc committee’s hope is for the park to be cleaned and the walkways resurfaced for the big day. “We want to make the park spiffy for the day,” Persohn said. Both Persohn and parks committee chairwoman Elizabeth Ballard felt the significance of the newly instated heritage district, which lies adjacent to the park, makes the duo-event a perfect fit. City council voted in favour of the eight-year long study to designate the Clemow Estates in July 2011. The small heritage-designated area includes Clemow Avenue from Bank Street to just beyond O’Connor Street. The Ottawa Improvement Commission, now known as the National Capital Commission are credited for creating Central Park as one of the first largest park in Ottawa.

U-Pass fares considered for college students Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - With discounted OC Transpo passes for students over age 20 to be cancelled on July 1 as a part of the new Presto payment system, the city is in talks with four Ottawa colleges about adopting something similar to the U-Pass. Student unions at Carleton University and the University of Ottawa approved the $180-per-semester U-Pass to be included in student fees for each semester earlier this year. But colleges like Algonquin, La Cite Collegial, St. Paul University and Dominican College don’t have a similar pass option. That may be changing, as the city has already begun talks about a U-Pass-like system with a couple of those colleges, Mayor Jim Watson told city council on April 25. Watson said college students have been expressing “a little bit of jealousy� of their university-going peers. If the colleges sign on, something like a U-Pass probably wouldn’t be available until 2014, the mayor said. The launch of a new, Presto-centric fare schedule on July 1 will spell the end of the

The City of Ottawa is in talks with four Ottawa colleges about introducing something similar to a U-Pass for the new Presto pay system. existing student pass, which is available for high school students and those who attend some colleges, including Algonquin. The electronic payment cards are tapped on card readers on buses and can be used as a monthly pass or to carry a cash balance for individual trips. The system will be aligned with other Ontario jurisdictions that use Presto, including some transit systems in

the Greater Toronto Area. That means student passes will only be available for people up to age 20, whereas now, there are student passes available for people enrolled in college even if they are older than 20. College students over age 20 who use OC Transpo will have to purchase an adult pass at $96.25 per month starting July 1. Currently, a student pass costs $75 per month.

Court rejects Friends of Lansdowne appeal Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

Annual Family Dinner Eddie Rwema photo

Students, staff and parents gathered at Robert Bateman Public School for the school’s annual family dinner that took place on April 25. Seen here from left are: Abigail Mockett, Celeste and Sophie Willett. The event has been running since the school first opened 21 years ago.

EMC news - The Ontario Court of Appeal has unanimously rejected the Friends of Lansdowne’s legal challenge to the proposed redevelopment of Lansdowne Park, a decision the city says clears the way for it to move forward with the project. Meanwhile, the citizen group that brought the legal case says it hasn’t ruled out trying to appeal its case to the Supreme Court of Canada. Ontario Court of Appeal Justice Warren K. Winkler issued a decision on the case, which was heard Nov. 28, just days before FIFA was set to announce whether Ottawa would be among the host cities for the World Cup soccer tournaments to be staged across Canada in 2014 and 2015. In the decision, Winkler wrote: “It is not for the courts to second guess or reweigh policy and financial considerations that informed the city’s decision to advance the development.” It marks the second time Ontario courts have ruled that city council acted in good faith when it struck a deal with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group to revitalize the publically-owned land. Mayor Jim Watson said he

believes the Friends of Lansdowne were “genuine and sincere” in their opposition to the plan, which they characterized as a bad deal for taxpayers and questioned the legality of the sole-sourcing of the renewal contract to OSEG. “But even though some may disagree on the future of Lansdowne, I am deeply convinced that most reasonable people in our city would agree on this important point: It is time to renew the vitality and importance of Lansdowne,” Watson said as he addressed the media. June Creelman, president of the Friends of Lansdowne, said the group was “deeply disappointed” in the ruling and would be meeting with lawyer Steven Shrybman shortly to decide whether to ask the Supreme Court to hear an appeal. To the Friends, the case was about municipal government transparency, and group member Ian Lee said the group feels it has succeeded in changing the policy agenda at city hall. Lee said the legal challenge has been a “remarkable learning experience” for city staff and councillors, and he doubted the awarding of large city contracts would ever be dealt with the same way again. The city spent $1.25 million to fight Friends of Lansdowne

legal battles, while the Friends have raised and spent around $300,000. No legal costs will be awarded to either side as part of the ruling. The Friends of Lansdowne said they will shift their focus to lobbying for public input throughout the remainder of the Lansdowne approval process, including a report in June that will require city council to give final approval to the financial arrangement with OSEG. The Friends will also be pushing for reforms to the Municipal Act to “protect the public interest” and ensure the city must obtain environmental and heritage approvals before construction begins. At a press conference on April 30 at the Minto Suites Hotel Roger Greenberg, member of the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment group, said he was pleased with the court’s decision. “This is an important milestone for us today to get this court of appeal decision,” said Greenberg. “We were waiting for it for a considerable period of time, but as they say, ‘better late than never.’” If all goes according to schedule, Ottawa could see football and soccer at Lansdowne Park in summer 2014, Greenberg said.

More than 120 Steve MacLean Public School students spent months auditioning and rehearsing Oz, a show they presented to a packed audience at the school’s auditorium. The annual production has become one of the highlights of the academic years, not only for cast members and their families, but for the community of Riverside South as a whole.

Oz performed at Steve Maclean Public School Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC arts – Students at Steve Maclean Public School produced their third musical – and this time they took it to another level. After months of auditions, workshops, and rehearsals, on April 25 and 26, students presented Oz, a musical journey that reacquainted audiences with some of the most beloved characters from both literature and musical the-

atre. More than 120 students were involved in the production of the show that is a tale of Dorothy’s whirlwind trip from Kansas to the Emerald City told through dialogue, dance and song. Director, Graydon Miles was amazed by the students’ performance. “The talent here is so exceptional and the students are so dedicated that they always surpass my expectations,”

said Miles. The director said they chose Oz because it’s a classic, well-known story and it has so many great characters. “A show like Oz has lots of opportunities to involve many, many students in various ways. In addition to our large cast of characters, we have a massive chorus, a group of talented dancers, and many other students working backstage and on

Students, staff and parents filled the school’s auditorium in what has become an annual community event. “This is the third musical we’ve produced at Steve MacLean and it really has become an event that many people look forward to annually,” said Miles. “In fact, I’ve already been asked about next year’s pro-

duction.” He credits the success of the event to the support from the Riverside South community. “Of course, any success we’ve had is largely due to the support of the community. The entire school gets behind it and the support we get from parents, volunteers and the community in general is incredible. We’re very lucky,” Miles added. Miles said he’s been in-

Cutting MP pay, pensions could help clean up politics

T

axpayers forked over at least $45,000 to Prime Minster Stephen Harper to enjoy a New York Yankees game and a Broadway show last Labour Day. That stories of a bloated sense of entitlement continue to pile up many years after the Liberal party was shown the door comes as little surprise to many. There’s little difference among parties that have held power in Canada, they lament. Certainly a segment of voters actually believed Harper

meant it, some 10 years ago, when he talked about grassroots decision-making and battling corruption in the federal government. That Harper would squander tens of thousands of dollars on himself during Labour Day, of all days, sends yet another message to the other side. The 99 per cent might get a day off, but it’ll cost them. True, the symbolic message doesn’t come close to Peter MacKay’s helicopter trip let alone Tony Clement’s alleged

misappropriation of $50 million. The examples of Conservatives gleefully blowing taxpayers money over the last few years could go on and on. But cutting heads off a blue Lernaean Hydra instead of a red one matters little. The point is both Liberals and Conservatives have little credibility left on matters of openness, accountability, corruption and other issues. Even their belief in free and fair elections – at least when in comes to the Conservatives – has become suspect.

So, what’s the answer to the downward spiral in Canadian politics? A possible contribution to reversing the decline comes from the right wing Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF). According to figures compiled by CTF, taxpayers contributed $23.30 last year for every dollar put into the parliamentary pension plan by MPs. “How do you explain to someone scraping for their retirement that Canada can’t afford $508 a month for a 65-year-old, when defeated 60-year-

old backbench MP Yasmin Ratansi got $2,758 a month after just seven years on the job,” asks CTF. MPs pensions are too high. MPs salaries are too high. And the numerous related perks are offensive to the average person. There is a fiscal argument for bringing down MPs’ compensation and reinvesting it in social programs. But the moral argument is more important. There is a relationship between escalating MP compensation packages and

the increasing sense of entitlement and corruption we’ve witnessed over the last couple of decades. It is clear that not everyone in federal politics is unethical. Some can take a six-figure salary and still put the interests of constituents and the nation ahead of themselves. It is equally clear, though, that the lure of big money attracts the greedy and selfindulgent. To explain away that basic truism with “Well, you have to pay top dollar for the best qualified people,” simply doesn’t fly anymore. The current situation is the proof.

Finding a needle in a big-box haystack CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

I

’ve been compiling a list of things you can’t buy in a shopping centre. It’s short so far, but it will grow, as stores get bigger and farther away. It goes without saying that you’ll never find that one little hardware part you need. You’ll have to buy a dozen. A surprising entry on the list is a newspaper. The other day I was in a shopping centre and realized there was no such thing as a newsstand. The drug store, didn’t have any. It used to be that you couldn’t avoid newspapers. A less surprising item that you can’t find in a shopping centre is a pump needle. You need to pump up your basketball, say, and you’re in a shopping centre, which has a sports store and a department store. But the department store’s sporting good section mostly sells exercise equipment and the sports store mostly sells clothes. You ask about a needle and get a funny look. Someone at the department store says go to Walmart. So next time I’m in Westboro I wander into Westboro Sports Centre on Richmond Road, which might have needles because it has bicycles and pumps. The guy doesn’t look at me funny. We do stock those, he says, but … and the “but” is that he just sold the last one. But … and then he disappears for a moment and comes back with a needle. I was using this one, but you can have it, he says, because I want you to feel special. Anybody got a basketball they want pumped? Now, I won’t say Westboro Sports is the only place in Ottawa that has a needle for your pump. Nor will I say that it is the only store in

Ottawa where people are friendly, informed and eager to help. It just happens to be one that is nearby. There is probably a favourite store in your neighbourhood, too, if you have a neighbourhood. Lots of people don’t, because of how cities have grown in recent years. Many people don’t have neighbourhood stores, they have shopping centres. And even the neighbourhoods are changing. The other day we were back at Westboro Sports to drop off a sympathy card for Doug Herbst, who died far too young after a lifetime at Westboro Sports. I’m sure we are not the only family in Ottawa in which three generations have bought bikes and skates at Westboro Sports. In the ‘70s, Doug’s father, Bill, helped us with hockey equipment, telling us what we needed for Tyke hockey, what we didn’t need so much, advice that saved us money that we would not have saved at the shopping centre. In the decades since, it was Doug, along with his brother Geoff, who helped out with bicycles and skates, most recently with our grandchildren. He will really be missed, but the store will go on because there are hundreds of people like us out there. You hope that there are enough of us to keep other small businesses going, in the face of overpowering competition from stores that can offer more, and cheaper, and giant parking lots, but won’t be able to tell you why one pair of skates is more suitable for a five-year-old than another and won’t be able to drop everything to fix some little thing that went wrong with a bicycle. We were looking at the changing face of Westboro and trying to figure out if there are any other stores left that were there when we first visited Westboro Sports. Even the Newport, in its present form, has been around only since 1988. Other stores are even newer. Eventually, more and more of them will become chains, as high rents drive the little guys out. Running a neighbourhood business is a challenge, but it’s made a lot easier when customers are loyal to the neighbourhood, because they know where to look for a needle.

Findlay Creek artist excited to perform at the Bluesfest Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – Findlay Creek artist Spencer Scharf said he is excited to perform again at this year’s Bluesfest. His last gig at the annual summer music festival was in 2010, when he performed for the ďŹ rst time at the age of 16. A Grade 11 student at Ridgemont High School, Scharf is one of more than 200 acts expected to perform at the festival which will span 12 days, from July 4 to 15. Scharf plays a variety of instruments, including guitar, piano, banjo, harmonica, ukulele and the mandolin, and his music contains elements of folk, rock, roots and blues. Scharf will perform on stage at the Barney Danson Theatre on July 14. “I was lost for words, when I received an email conďŹ rming I had a spot,â€? said Scharf. “I could barely sleep. I was very excited when I found out. It is nice to be back at Bluesfest.â€? Bluesfest’s 2012 lineup was announced at a launch party held at the Canadian War Museum on April 24. Big names included in the

Bluesfest lineup this year are John Mellencamp, Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, Seal, Nickelback, Blue Rodeo and Norah Jones. Scharf’s ďŹ rst performed in public when he was 13. “My dad and I were dropping by the Alta Vista Retirement Home to visit my grandmother and there happened to be a piano in the lounge area and I asked if I can play it,â€? he said. “And as soon as I played, about 50 residents entered the room to listen.â€? His music potential was ďŹ rst spotted when he enrolled for the Bluesfest’s ‘Be in the Band’ initiative – a threemonth pilot project that puts young musicians (ages 11 to 17) who want to be in a band together with other potential band mates. Bluesfest executive director Mark Monahan spotted him and invited him to perform at the 2010 Bluesfest. “It was too cool when Mark asked me, ‘Spencer (would) you like doing a 45 minute set at the Bluesfest,’â€? Scharf recalled. Scharf’s said he’s always dreamed of playing at big venues like the House of the Blues, the National Arts Centre, and at the main stage

of festivals, and the Ottawa musician said he thinks he’s slowly reaching his goal. He attributes his achievements to the support he gets from his family and coaches. Scharf said his repertoire is huge and that you’ll ďŹ nd him fresh and exciting at every performance. Scharf said he plans to perform some of Woody Guthrie’s songs since his performance is scheduled on the same day Guthrie’s would have been 100 years old. Guthrie is best known as an American singer-songwriter and folk musician whose musical legacy includes hundreds of political, traditional and children’s songs. Scharf has previously performed at the Ottawa Folk Festival, a Governor General’s event, city events, and school events. Scharf said he is happy he can juggle his music and school life “I just ďŹ nd a good balance to do these things,â€? said Scharf.

Orchestra to play Mahler EMC news - On May 7, David Currie will conduct the 100member Ottawa Symphony Orchestra in a concert at 8 p.m. in Southam Hall at the National Arts Centre. For the ďŹ fth and ďŹ nal concert of Currie’s 20th season as its conductor, the OSO will perform Mahler’s incomplete Symphony No. 10, in the masterly orchestration by the late

Deryck Cooke. On the score of this, his ďŹ nal symphony, Mahler wrote “To live for you! To die for you!â€? Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear Mahler’s “love letterâ€? to his wife Alma. Mahler’s Tenth Symphony is one of the most disturbing and paradoxical works in musical history, an apparent attempt to ward off mortality. It continues in the “farewell-

to-lifeâ€? spirit that characterizes the composer’s late music. This is music of deep sadness, and among Mahler’s most divine creations. Tickets for the May 7 concert are available in person at NAC box ofďŹ ce and through Ticketmaster. Prices range from $26 to $71 for regular tickets, from $22 to $65 for seniors, and from $14 to $29.50 for students.

Be an Active Tourist: Walk or Bike Your Way to Health Written by Lorrie Levesque, B.A., B.Sc., Project Officer, Ottawa Public Health, Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Branch

Being active is good for our physical and mental health. Getting active doesn’t mean spending hours May is physical activity month in Ottawa. It is a at the gym. It’s about making small changes that result great time to start being more active, to see the city in health gains. One way is to become an “active tourist” in your own city and neighbourhood: and to enjoy warmer weather. In the last 25 years, we have become less active. In fact, 68% of Canadian men and 69% of women spend the majority of their waking hours sitting, an average of 9 hours a day. We are spending more time in our seats and less time on our feet!

Walking is good for

your health, but remember to be safe Written by Terry-Lynne Marko B.ScN., Public Health Nurse, Ottawa Public Health, Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Branch

Walking is good for your health. It is a free and easy way to travel to school, work or to run an errand, but it is important to be safe. For example, a child who talks on the phone while crossing the street, has a one in three chance of being hit by a car. You and your family can enjoy a safe walk with a few simple safety tips:

Be aware • Put away anything that distracts you, like cell phones and handheld music devices • Make eye contact with drivers and cyclists before you step off the curb, and make sure they will stop for you • Walk on the sidewalk or if no sidewalk is available, on the street towards traffic

Be noticed

• Walk with a friend or in a group • Wear bright coloured clothes • Walk across the street at a designated crossing • In the evening, wear clothes that reflect light

Walking is a great way to stay healthy and see the city. Go for a walk today and enjoy. Visit Safe Kids Canada www.safekids.ca to find out more information on walking safely.

Be a teacher

Around the age of 10 years old, children learn how to judge distance, depth and speed of cars. • Teach and show your children how, when and where to cross the street • Help your children to be confident • Start on quiet streets and over time, teach them to be safe in busier areas

Be comfortable • • •

Wear comfy clothes and shoes Use sunscreen Drink plenty of water

Ottawa south teens help team win junior hockey championship Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – A pair of young hockey players from Ottawa south helped the New York based National Sports Academy Mountaineers win the International Junior Hockey League Championship final held in Boston, Mass. Devin Desnoyers, formerly with Metcalf Jets, and Taylor Widenmaier who played for the Ottawa 67’s AAA midgets headed south of the border last September to play for the Mountaineers in Lake Placid, N.Y. and made a name for themselves helping the team play the best season the school has seen, according to team officials. As the boys prepare to come back to Ottawa after a successful year at the NSA, they are happy with the experience and skills they have acquired at the academy. “It’s been a great year at National Sports Academy,” said Widenmaier. Widenmaier said some of his best memories of the season were of the long road road trips travelling across the U .S. east coast. “Playing hockey six days a week has been a blast. We had a great bunch of guys,” added Widenmaier. He said he feels his skills have improved a lot over the course of the year and that he owes a big thank you to the

Desnoyers was also approached by a number of American schools that have shown interest, but has also said he will stay in Ottawa. “I have made the decision to come back to Ottawa for a year to play in the Central Canada Hockey League,” said Desnoyers. “I miss Ottawa and can’t wait to be home with the boys.” Widenmaier, who attended St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School in Riverside South, said contrary to high school where everyone has their own cliques, the academy is a small community that makes them familiar with everyone. “Living in a house with 14

guys has been a riot. It’s been non stop fun and I’ll never forget my stay at NSA,” he said. The boys culminated a fantastic season with a two-game sweep over a Syracuse Stampede team. Widenmaier owes that success to team coach Rod Simmons. “The previous two years I was coached by arguably one of the best coaches in minor hockey, Darell Campbell, who brought us (Major Midget 67’s AAA) to two consecutive Ontario provincial finals. Therefore I had high expectations in a coach and Rod Simmons was everything I was hoping for and lead us to a championship,” he said. The boys are expected to be back in Ottawa this June.

He said the academy has helped him grow both as a hockey player but and as a student. “The schedule at the academy allowed me to juggle the rink and the books quite easily,” said Desnoyers. Though the boys said they hoped the experience would open up doors for them to play hockey for universities somewhere in the U.S, they will remain in Ottawa for now. “I was approached by a couple of small division three schools and went down to visit, however it wasn’t what I was looking for and I decided to attend school back in Ottawa,” said Widenmaier, who plans to enroll at the University of Ottawa and to play

Ottawa wants to create neighbourhood connections Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

Mayor Jim Watson participates in a discussion about transit-oriented development during the city’s April 26 planning summit at the CE Centre. self, or connect communities with city resources and departments that can find solutions to whatever issues are identified, Hume said. The Neighbourhood Connections website will let neighbouring communities to jump on board with community-based projects and connect them to city hall’s resources. For instance, it may not be obvious, but Hintonburg’s NPI made for a more pleasant farmers market experience. EARLY SUCCESS

When the city was repairing Wellington Street West, sidewalks and roads in the Parkdale Market area were built to accommodate the market, while taking into account drainage issues and trip hazards in the pedestrian-centric area. Some of those “peripheral issues,” as Hume calls them – the things not directly related

to zoning and land-use planning – can get lost in the discussion, and the Neighbourhood Connections office will be there to make sure those issues are considered. For community members like Hintonburg’s Paulette Dozois, neighbourhood planning goes beyond the acronyms and jargon of city hall “It’s a great, co-operative approach,” Dozois said while speaking about the Hintonburg NPI last August. “It’s a way of looking at projects within the context of the whole neighbourhood, rather than just doing something that has to be done because time is up.” But Jay Baltz, another Hintonburg resident who is on the local community association’s executive, cautioned that the Neighbourhood Connections office will only be a useful tool if it doesn’t serve as another layer blocking communities from accessing the city’s planning department.

EMC news - Amongst the talk of tall buildings and zoning certainty, a fresh idea to help neighbourhoods stood out at the city’s planning summit on April 26. A new Neighbourhood Connections office will rise from the ashes of the city’s axed community sustainability department, which had its funding cut in the 2012 budget. Before that, the department was home to the neighbourhood planning initiative (NPI), which supported a successful Hintonburg pilot project looking at how a community can go beyond the technical trappings of land-use planning: the height of buildings, what may be housed inside them and how many parking spaces are needed. Instead, Hintonburg’s NPI found ways to connect projects so that the little details that make a community livable and desirable aren’t forgotten. That spirit will be captured in a new Neighbourhood Connections office, planning committee chairman Peter Hume announced at the planning summit at the CE Centre. It’s a new way for community members to connect with the city and paint a picture of how small projects can make a big impact, said Hume, the councillor for Alta Vista ward. “The city might become involved because of a development application, but other issues arise,” Hume said, such as the need to encourage childcare facilities to move into the area or a desire to plant more trees. “We’re trying to create complete communities and sometimes the very small issues get lost in the debate on larger issues,” Hume said. “This was really designed to get at those little things … the things that will really actually help communities help themselves.” The office will have a small budget but it will be able to undertake some projects it-

Ottawa & Area - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away

OC Transpo ticket price hike will hurt low-income people: agencies Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

“Why should people on low income and service agencies feel this increase so acutely?� TONG ZHAO-ANSARI

Low-income residents who take transit infrequently favour using tickets, said Tong Zhao-Ansari of the City for All Women Initiative and many don’t have easy access to the Internet (or a phone) needed to top up the value on a Presto card. Some don’t even have a

debit or credit card that would provide the funds to transfer. Those people would be limited to using cash to top up their Presto cards at city client service centres or OC Transpo sales centres (while tickets are available at hundreds of stores across the city). With tickets as their only viable option, a 15 per cent increase on tickets (compared to an overall fare increase of 2.5 per cent) is unfair, several advocates told the commission. “Why should people on low income and service agencies feel this increase so acutely?â€? Zhao-Ansari asked the transit commission on April 23. Low-income people also beneďŹ t from the ticket system because community service agencies like the Plant Pool

Recreation Association hand out tickets so people can take transit to access their programs. With a jump in ticket prices and no comparable temporary pass option available through Presto when it rolls out, the association’s Ida Henderson said the group will end up paying an additional 80 cents for each of the 330 swimming program vouchers it hands out clients of a family crisis centre. “We can’t understand how we or others will be able to cope without a system like tickets or something similar,â€? Henderson said. While she understands the desire to provide ďŹ nancial incentives for riders to switch to Presto, Henderson asked for

the city and OC Transpo to ďŹ nd a way to do that without disadvantaging service agencies and the low-income residents they serve. John Manconi, general manager of OC Transpo, agreed the ticket issue is important and one of the challenges the transit service will be looking at to ďŹ nd an alternate, Presto-compatible option for single rides or temporary use. ECOPASS MOURNED

Two transit commissioners – public member Emily Rahn and Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches – were upset that the introduction of Presto will spell the end of the EcoPass pro-

gram, a type of bus pass that could be offered by payroll reduction by employers that wanted to encourage transit use amongst employees. Rahn, who has used an EcoPass in the past, said the change will not only increase the cost of the pass, it will also take away some of the beneďŹ ts such as payroll deduction. “These are core customers that have been using the system,â€? Rahn added. Desroches asked that the motion (approved by council on April 25) include instruction for OC Transpo staff to “develop a supportive and exible program with Presto for local employers who wish to subsidize and or encourage transit use by employees.â€?

EMC news - A plan to get rid of bus tickets in favour of a new smart-card system raised concerns from advocates who fear the move will unfairly hike transit costs for low-income people and community organizations. Tickets would still be available for the foreseeable future, but with the roll-out of the Presto smart-card payment system for OC Transpo on July 1, paying with tickets will cost more per-ride than paying with the cash value people can load on to their new Presto cards. The move is intended to encourage people to switch to the Presto card, but delegates

who spoke to the city’s transit commission on April 23 accused OC Transpo of unfairly increasing costs for the transit service’s most disadvantage customers.

City wants to push ahead on Lansdowne Court rejects community group’s appeal Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Even before the fate of the Lansdowne Park reconstruction was decided by the courts, the city began looking to push forward with the ambitious project. A report approved by the city’s finance and economic development committee on May 1 will allow work to begin on the remediation of contaminated soil and moving the heritage Horticulture Building. That work is recommended because the Friends of Lansdowne’s legal challenge at the Ontario Court of Appeal has prevented the city from finalizing its partnership with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group. According to the report, the city wrote to the court on March 30 to ask when a decision might be expected, but the court has not responded. In September, the city obtained an order to ensure the appeal would be expedited. Although the original estimate for moving the Horti-

culture Building, which was stripped of its heritage designation to allow it to be moved, was around $2 million, city planner John Smit said in November of 2010, the city now says it will cost $5 million to move the structure, $1.3 million to renovate it, add an info centre and perhaps a café or restaurant, plus another $200,000 to relocate memorials and do related work and $3.8 million to rebuild the building’s foundation, for a total of $10.3 million. The Horticulture Building was built in 1914 and is an example of prairie-style architecture. It was designed by Francis Sullivan, who was a student of famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It was scheduled for demolition in the early 1990s but was saved when it was designated under Part 4 of the Ontario Heritage Act in 1994. Currently, it is not open to the public and has fallen into disrepair, but it is structurally sound. Representatives from Heritage Ottawa, an advocacy group, appealed the decision to move the Horticulture Building to a provincial review board and won, but the city has the final say. The city’s advisory committee on built heritage also recommended against moving the building. The city and its heritage

The city should move ahead with $12.6 million in work at Lansdowne Park, said Mayor Jim Watson. consultant on the project, John Stewart, said the move is necessary to ensure the building can play a useful role in redeveloped Lansdowne Park and to allow for the construction of a parking garage. “The fact of the matter is that it has to be moved,” Stewart said last November. The options presented were either to move the building twice (once to move it away to allow the parking garage to be built, and again to put it back in place) or just once, to a new permanent location, an option that would present less risk of

damage, Stewart said. The report also recommends going ahead with $3.7 million of work to clean up contaminated soil, remove asbestos before the Coliseum Building is torn down and related utility works. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko learned of the report only hours before it was posted on the city’s website on April 24. The councillor, who has strongly advocated for the community concerning the park, informed the Glebe Community Association at

their monthly meeting that same night. He told the residents he was initially skeptical of the city’s intentions. “I wanted to know if they were hurrying it up, trying to push the reconstruction through,” Chernushenko said. “I was assured there would be no shortcoming of how things are being followed. It appears that the way it is being presented is for any development on the land this soil remediation would need to be done.” Some preparation work has already been done by OSEG

on behalf of the partnership with the city, including tenders to get prices for constructing the stadium, parking garage and site services. This week, a lawsuit from Friends of Lansdowne attempting to stop the project was unanimously rejected by the Ontario Court of Appeal, a move the city says clears the way to move ahead with the project. But the group has not ruled out appealing the case to the Supreme Court of Canada.

Participants packed the basement of the legion on Kent Street on April 28 to take part in contra dancing as part of the Ottawa Grassroots Festival.

Cancer has always been a cause close to Steve West’s heart. Not only is Nordion Inc. – where he is the CEO – one of the world’s leading providers of medical isotopes for diagnosis and treatment of the disease, the company is also the title sponsor of Ride the Rideau, eastern Ontario’s largest singleday cancer fundraiser. Last September, just after riding 100 km from Ottawa to Merrickville in Ride the Rideau, which is organized by The Ottawa Hospital Foundation, West was diagnosed with nonHodgkin’s Lymphoma, a cancer which attacks the body’s immune system. As an avid athlete, he never thought it would happen to him. Not expecting to hear the words, ‘you most likely have cancer’ from his doctor, West was alone when he received his diagnosis. After the initial shock, the hardest part was going home to deliver the news to his wife, Eunice. “The emotional impact of having cancer is huge for you and your family,” he said. “It was such a shock… To go home and tell your wife that the doctor told me I most likely have cancer just shakes you to

Nordion CEO and cancer crusader Steve West will be returning to Ride the Rideau after successfully battling cancer earlier this year. your very foundation of your roots. You can’t imagine what it’s like.” Never one to give up hope, West continued to work and follow his rigorous sports training regimen while receiving treatment at The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre (TOHCC). Coincidentally, the treatment he received included participation in a clinical trial – the main fundraising focus of Ride the Rideau. Earlier this year, surrounded by his family, West marked the

end of his treatment by ringing the ceremonial victory bell in the Chemotherapy Unit of TOHCC. More than ever, he realizes the importance of supporting cancer care at The Ottawa Hospital and research at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. In addition to returning as title sponsor for the third year of Ride the Rideau, West is also captaining his own team on September 8, 2012. While the company has set “a stretch goal” of $70,000, West has committed to personally raising half of that amount. “When I began supporting the efforts of The Ottawa Hospital to improve cancer care in our community, I never thought I would be a patient here myself,” he said. “I experienced firsthand what the support of events like Ride the Rideau do,” he said. “It makes such a difference. Thanks to the treatment I received at The Ottawa Hospital, I’m here for my family, my work, and to cycle another day.” To support Steve West’s ride, or to register for Ride the Rideau, visit www.ridetherideau.ca.

Getting emotional at times when she talks about the hike, Arnett admits it is something very near and dear to her heart. “It can be a very emotional day, you see family members who had a loved one at the hospice,� Arnett said. “The hike has gotten bigger and bigger because more families who realize how important a place like this is needs support,� Executive director of the hospice, Dave Hogberg, said the hike is a great community event. “We’re looking forward to

EMC news – This year’s edition of an annual hike to support an Old Ottawa South palliative care center is looking to raise more money than ever before. The five-kilometre Tracy Arnett Hike for Hospice, taking place this year on May 6, sees participants make their way through the streets of Old Ottawa South. It’s the hospice’s second largest fundraiser and as a way to mark the event’s 10th anniversary, organizers announced a fundraising goal of $120,000. For the past three years, Tracy Arnett volunteers at the Hospice at May Court and for 10 years, the Old Ottawa South realtor has leant her

time to the cause. Arnett said the event is very important because the hospice palliative care is underfunded. “I don’t think the fundraising goal is out of reach,� Arnett said. “This event is very important because $1.3 million dollars needs to be raised every year for the hospice to offer the kind of care they do.� The event will have top prizes for the highest fundraisers, lunch from local restaurant The Red Apron and music by the Trillium Dixieland band, a visit from Rays Reptiles, belly dancing, a silent auction and face painting. Arnett said she spends one day a week volunteering at the hospice and finds the experience incredibly rewarding and

Schools get major green for going green Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news – Cedarview Middle School and Mother Teresa Catholic High School in Barrhaven have been recognized for their green initiatives with a major prize, thanks to a nation-wide contest in celebration of Earth Day. Staples Canada awarded the schools $25,000 each as part of a nation-wide green initiative. Cedarview was recognized for their litter-less lunch program and their tree-plant-

ing programs, but the middle school also composts and has three raised gardens in the back yard. Lori Lalonde, leader of Cedarview’s earth care team, said three classes are in charge of the raised gardens in behind the school. Catherine Donnelly, the school’s principal, said they also participate in the city’s Take it Back program for batteries. Donnelly said the $25,000 from Staples will likely go towards wireless capabilities. The school currently has a 30-seat computer lab,

but Donnelly said it would help the teachers’ instruction to have wireless technology available. The letter applying for the grant was written by Grade 8 student Grace Yu. “We were so blown away when we found out we would be getting it,” Lalonde said. Donnelly said the school has been a part of many green initiatives since it opened its doors in 1994. The school parents have donated trees to be planted in the back and the school

had also applied for the city’s greening fund. Ceady the frog is the mascot for the earth care club. Donnelly said the stuffed amphibian is a prized possession for classes. The competition was organized by Staples Canada,

and is awarding 20 schools across Canada with a total of $500,000 in tech products for demonstrating forward thinking eco-initiatives. Mother Teresa was awarded $25,000 for their work to instruct children about renewable energy sources. The school had a solar panel installed on the roof two years ago, and school principal Mary Ellen Agnel said the panel just started to be profitable this year. Sue Ragaisis, leader of the school’s eco club, said that the

school has a renewable energy concentration program and students were given a tour of the school’s roof and shown how the technology works. Ragaisis wrote the application for the grant and said the funds will likely go to support the school’s paperless courses. “It will continue to fund environmental initiatives,” she said, adding the school would make the official announcement on May 10 before they participate in the Clean the City campaign.

Board OKs overcrowding fixes for Kanata schools David Johnston

EMC news - A plan to ease overcrowding in Kanata schools was approved by trustees during a marathon meeting of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board on April 24. Anxious parents and concerned residents packed the meeting room and waited through the board’s lengthy agenda before hearing debate on the Kanata motion. It was after 11 p.m. when Kanata trustee Cathy Curry was able to present a motion that included approval for a new elementary school for Kanata north along with an eight-room addition at South March Public School and an addition to the Earl of March Secondary School. Following a protracted debate, trustees voted 7 to 3 with

two abstentions to accept the motion, which also included changing Earl of March to house grades 7 to 12 by September 2015. The decision comes after more than a year of research and debate supported by the publicly-driven accommodation review committees (ARCs) set up by the board to look into solutions to the lack of space. In presenting the motion, Curry said the overcrowding has reached “crisis” proportions with more than 800 extra seats needed for September 2012 and 1,750 required by 2014. Curry pointed out that the board has no land secured for building a new school in Kanata north, a predicament which could lead to students being bused out of the com-

munity to attend schools in other areas. “Hope is not a strategy,” Curry told her peers. “Kanata is so far behind that we need a high school and an elementary school.” All trustees praised the work of the ARC volunteers in bringing the crisis into focus and supplying recommendations to the board. ARC representatives had the opportunity to speak to the board prior to the vote. Cathy Biggs, Chair of the Kanata North ARC, said, “no one knows the details of the overcrowding like we do. That’s why our committee voted unanimously April 18 that a new school and two additions are required.” Biggs said the committee had reversed its earlier recommendation after learning new

information following the end of the committee’s tenure. “After hearing staff recommendations and discussion from trustees, we were told there was no new school available. This would be totally unacceptable. We were short-sighted in our recommendations as they were written,” Biggs said. In the hotly contested debate, trustees voiced differing opinions on the issue, some refusing to give in to the motion. Board chair Jennifer McKenzie voted against the motions and provided two alternative motions should Curry’s have failed. Trustee Shirley Seward also voted against the Kanata North motion as well as portions of the Kanata South motion. “My first loyalty is to the

community, to students and their parents,” she said. Her decision was based in part on a large amount of email she received on the issue where parents have expressed their opinions. Kanata south will not see a new school though Glen Cairn Public School will transition to an intermediate school for Grade 7 to 8 starting in September 2013. Other changes include boundary realignments, program and grade structure alterations. In making the motion, Curry stressed the need for the creation of transition teams “to ensure smooth transitions.” ARC:

Speaking as a delegation, Susan Wehrmann, Chair of

the Kanata South ARC, called Curry’s motion “reasonable”, adding that six of 10 members of the Kanata South ARC favoured the motion. Heather MacDonald of AY Jackson Secondary School supported the grades 7 to 12 model, suggesting benefits such as extracurricular mentoring and coaching. Speaking for the Stephen Leacock Public School Council, Catherine Roberts said, “We do feel that a 7 to 12 facility is a necessary component of this solution.” Megan Cornell of the Kanata Lakes Community Association said she was against the 7 to 12 model and expansion to Earl of March, stressing that board staff must first determine how the expansion could accommodate amenities such as a gym.

Glebe resident enlists neighbours for heritage project michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC community - A Glebe resident with a keen interest in the area’s heritage will have the chance to document that history thanks to a grant from an Ottawa advocacy group. Andrew Elliott was recently awarded the $1,000 Gordon Cullingham Research and Publication Grant by Heritage Ottawa, which he’ll use for expenses related to his proposed heritage research project in the Glebe. He is enlisting members of the Glebe Community Association heritage committee to help him with the project, which will examine the histories of nearly 135 buildings in an area between Monkland and Clemow avenues from the Rideau Canal to Bronson Avenue. Elliott is looking forward to getting his neighbours interested in the history of the area. “In the case of the Glebe, and in particular my project regarding Clemow Avenue, I want people to get excited about the interesting and important people who lived in their houses before them,” Elliott said. “How these people were key to the development

of both the Glebe and Ottawa. Also, particularly with Clemow, I want people to see how good urban planning can work to create an environment that promotes visual harmony between the street and the houses.” The Parks Canada archivist, who works on the Canadian Register of Historic Places, came to the field of heritage conservation in a round-about way. Five years ago while living in Peterborough, he was inspired by many of the old buildings there and started writing a newspaper column about the subject for the Peterborough Examiner. “At that point, I was interested primarily in old stuff, in the aesthetics of old buildings, in the stories about the people who lived in them,” Elliott said “As I continued to write about the buildings over the next few years, I learned about more technical architectural terminology as well as best practices in heritage conservation.” About three years ago, he started researching and writing about the history of buildings in the Glebe for the Glebe Report, and the community association’s heritage com-

mittee asked him to join. Elliott credits his time as a columnist for his ability to inspire others to want to learn about heritage. “I learned long ago, when I first started writing for the newspaper, that the best way to get ordinary people and communities interested in heritage

was to write about the stories of the historical figures who lived in the houses and then talk about architectural merits of the buildings,” he said. “People connect better to stories about other people, and their eyes glaze over if you spend too much time describing architectural terms,”

The Heritage Ottawa grant program was created in 2008 to support heritage projects. With two types of grants available, a $1,000 for a research grant and a $2,000 publication grant, Elliott said he is happy to have this opportunity to continue to work on researching heritage in the Glebe.

“I do what I do because the craftsmanship of historic places, at least up to the 1950s has resonance with me, and that somehow I feel connected to a period of time in history that is now mostly out of reach,” Elliott said.

Call for information:

y sister Audrey said Mother had what she called “the look.” She said it was worse than a slap on the side of the head. It didn’t take me long to figure out what she meant when I committed a minor act of disobedience in front of a neighbour. She had dropped in for tea one afternoon. All I did was take the first cookie off the plate, which I learned very quickly was just not done until the guest was served. I quickly put the cookie back on the plate, which earned me another “look.” I was then faced with the problem of trying to figure out how to correct my social error, so I decided the best thing to do was re-take the same cookie and get out of there. Which I did and then I ran out of the house and practically swallowed it whole as I passed through the summer kitchen. Mother used “the look” a lot when we went to church. If any one of us squirmed too much for her liking, we got ‘the look.’ If that didn’t work, it was followed by a sharp jab on the knee. Mother was able to accomplish the jab without taking her eyes off the pulpit, which always amazed me. I

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories could never figure out how she knew who was acting up without even looking. This confirmed for me what Audrey once said: Mother had eyes in the back of her head, although I was never able to actually see that she had an extra set of eyes under her thick black hair. There was never any comment with “the look.” It was enough to send the message of her disapproval. It was often directed towards Father, who paid absolutely no attention at all to it. And of course, if any one of us acted up during a meal, that was enough to warrant “the look.” Don’t put too much food in your mouth at once, don’t make a stab for the last sausage on the platter, remember to say please and thank you and heaven help you if you were caught with your eyes open during Grace. Those misdemeanors all deserved “the look.” Well away from earshot, Emerson once said Mother

must have had her eyes open herself during Grace to see one of us breaking this cardinal rule. Audrey said Mother could see things when no one else could. Mother’s whole face changed when she was giving “the look.” She had sharp brown eyes and she would bring them down to thin slits. Even though you could barely see the pupils, they could bore right through you. Her eyebrows came together and formed a straight line across her forehead. Sometimes she would purse her lips as if getting ready to say something, but she didn’t need to utter a word. Mother had to be close to you to administer her next form of reprimand if “the look” didn’t work. She wouldn’t think twice giving the brothers a sharp swat on the side of their head. Sometimes it hit the ear dead-on. Emerson said when that happened, his ears rang for three days. Audrey said he was exaggerating.

For reasons I was never able to figure out, Audrey and I were subjected only to “the look.” I could count on one hand the number of times I took a slap on the ear. That probably had more to do with the fact that my sister and I rarely got into serious trouble. And we certainly never came to blows like the three brothers did. My sister said girls were expected to act like ladies. That meant good manners, gentle behaviour and certainly never stooping to physical attacks unless absolutely necessary. As my sister got older, she started to develop “the look” just like Mother. My three brothers completely ignored her, knowing full well she would have met her match if she resorted to slapping them on the side of their head if “the look” didn’t work. I tried “the look” on Emerson once. He managed to put me in the ice box one day, almost giving me a heart attack. He was too big for me to cuff him on the side of the head when he let me out, so I gave him what I considered my most hateful “look.” He ran from the house laughing his head off. I figured I had a long way to go before I mastered “the look” like Mother and Audrey.

MONTH

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff • half cup white sugar • one egg yolk • half tsp. vanilla • 1.5 cups flour • 1.5 tsp. baking powder • one-eighth tsp. salt • three tbsp. milk • one cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped To prepare the mint, remove the leaves from the stems. Discard the stems. Lay several of the mint leaves parallel on your cutting board, then with a sharp knife, slice them very thinly. Once all the leaves have been sliced, pile them on the board, and chop them into very small pieces. They should be about the size of dried basil. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Stir in the egg yolk and vanilla. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.

Add a third of the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and stir well. Add half of the milk, and stir again. Repeat with another third of the dry ingredients and the rest of the milk. Stir the mint into the cookie batter, then add the last of the flour mixture. Mix well. Shape the dough into two logs about 20 centimetres long. Wrap each one in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least two hours, or until firm. Unwrap the dough and cut it into slices half a centimetre wide, placing them on a greased baking sheet about 2.5 centimetres apart. Bake at 350 F (175 C) for 10-12 minutes or until the bottom edge is light brown. Remove from the oven, and cool on wire racks. Makes about three dozen cookies.

This early summer treat mixes the familiar with the exotic – fresh, sweet strawberries and ripe, tropical mangos – all wrapped in a rich, flaky lattice crust.

Questionnaire plans for future Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC community - A wonderful library, excellent guest speakers series and the annual garden party were among the best things about living in Rockcliffe Park, according to a recent survey conducted by the residents association. Delivered to every Rockcliffe Park resident earlier in the year, executive board member John Butterfield said the questionnaire garnered some great results and insights about the neighbourhood. “It seems the library was named the heart of the community,” Butterfield said to the board members at the April 19 meeting. Eighty-one per cent of residents noted the library as the most cherished resource in the neighbourhood. The questionnaire touched on a number of different themes, such as heritage, community, events, services provided by the city, areas of concern and communications. About half of the Rockcliffe Park residents did not know about a group of residents who are proposing a permanent rink and field house for the Rockcliffe Park Public School grounds. Residents’ concerns included the potential for the proposed interprovincial bridge to cross the Ottawa River at Kettle Island, development at the former Canadian Forces Base Rockcliffe, residential redevelopments and parking

in the area. It also gave an indication of the area’s demographics, with only 14 per cent of respondents indicating they were

int is one of the most versatile herbs for the kitchen. It can be used in soups, salads, sauces, jellies, desserts, even cookies. It can be used to make either hot or iced tea, yet its flavour also complements cooked lamb and trout. You can chop the leaves, add them to melted butter and drizzle it over cooked new potatoes for an old-fashioned English dish. This week’s recipe appeared in my column several years ago and was so popular that I wanted to pass it along to anyone who may have missed it. It makes a cookie that’s similar to shortbread, but with the flavour of fresh mint. It will be another month or so before the new mint is ready to pick. Look for it in late May or early June at farmers’ markets, or ask friends and neighbours if they have some in their gardens. To make these cookies, you’ll need about 12 stems of mint with full-grown leaves.

Cheers contest nets $30,000 for pedestrian bridge in Chapman Mills

EMC news - The Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation (RVCF) announced April 24 that the proposal to build a pedestrian footbridge on an inlet of the Rideau River has received a $30,000-boost from the Molson Coors Community Cheer contest. The Chapman Mills Conservation Area, on the Rideau River in Barrhaven is the gateway to a 12-kilometre network of forest trails, riverside boardwalks and wetland meadows. It stretches from an area along the riverbank that is parallel to Waterbridge Drive and ends just south of Barnstone Drive. From November to May the use of the area is restricted because of a floating sectional bridge leading to the inlet parallel to the intersection of Fairpark and Prince of Wales drives. The bridge has to be removed manually to protect it from ice damage. The RVCF called the annual move hard on the environment, costly for taxpayers and frustrating for park users. The money from the contest will help to fund a 35metre pedestrian bridge that will be made of steel with wooden guardrails. The project was one of the 21 across the country selected at the close of the contest

– which divvies up $1 million to projects that bring the community together. Charles Billington, executive director of the RVCF, said when the foundation learned about the contest, they approached their network of volunteers to boost the votes. They managed to get just fewer than 300 votes, thanks in part to local Couns. Steve Desroches and Jan Harder. “We are really pleased with the community support,” Billington said. Once the votes were tallied, judges would have looked at each project and rated it for: • The amount of community support shown through online “cheering.” • The ability to meet the application criteria. • The project’s alignment with the Molson Coors community values. • The positive social and community impact and ability to demonstrate success. The foundation has been tracking the use of the trail now and said it is one of the busiest in the city. Estimates say that the bridge would create at least a 10 per cent increase in the pedestrian traffic. The Chapman Mills Conservation Area is celebrating is 10th anniversary this year. “This new and permanent pathway bridge will be a welcome addition to our community and important for the safety of our pathway network,” Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches said. “I am always pleased when the government agencies partner with the private sector to support local projects and priorities.” The old sectional bridge will be in place for the final season this summer. It will come out for the last time next fall when the canal is lowered to its winter level. Billington said the posts for the bridge will be put in at the same time. The bridge will built off sight and lifted into place. “We are very excited,” Billington said.

Bluesfest 2012 to have ‘electronic feel’ Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - While this year’s Bluesfest lineup will certainly have an electronic-focused feel to it, the annual summer music festival is also bringing back some old favourites, include hip-hop and classic rock acts. “The whole electronic medium had taken off in the last two or three years, and we made an effort to include it in this year’s event,” said Mark Monahan, Bluesfest’s executive director. “There’s something every night actually for people (who enjoy) that music without forgetting other types like rock, rap and classic rock. I think it’s a pretty good mix.” Bluesfest’s 2012 lineup was announced at a launch party held at the Canadian War Museum on April 24. As part of this year’s theme, called Electrofied, Monahan announced some of the electronic acts and DJs who will make it to the Bluesfest stages

this year. Some of the highlights include LMFAO, an electro-pop duo will be performing on the main stage July 5 at 9:30 p.m. AWOLNATION, a solo project of multi-instrumentalist Aaron Bruno will be performing July 4 at 9:30 p.m. at the River Stage. On the electronic side, other performers include DJs A-Trak and Tiësto who have worked with Kanye West. The festival will also feature hip-hop artists Snoop Dogg and Lauryn Hill. Snoop Dogg will be performing July 10 at 9:30 p.m. on the main stage, and Lauryn Hill will perform the same night at 8 p.m. at the Claridge stage. Big names also included in the Bluesfest lineup this year will be John Mellencamp, Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, Seal, Nickelback, Blue Rodeo and Norah Jones. “The acts I’d say just fell into place for whatever reason,” said Monahan, adding

some of the acts aren’t household names are among those he’s looking forward to the most. “There’s a guy out of Florida called Charles Bradley, and he’s the upcoming James Brown,” said Monahan. “It’s a guy I can’t wait to see.” There will also be some acts returning this year, including City and Colour who will perform July 6 at 9:30 p.m. on the main stage and Metric who will play the main stage on July 15 at 9:30 p.m. Monahan also said there might be some other acts coming last minute. “I’m always working on stuff that you can’t get done at deadline,” he said. “There are a few acts that we will still confirm. The lineup never really ends and I’m always willing to add bands depending on who’s available. It’s always a work in progress.” For more information on performers and times, visit ottawabluesfest.ca.

Pius community promotes mental health Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC community - Vanessa Bascelli and Angela Lombardo say stress, depression and anxiety are major issues often faced by teenagers, but issues those young people are largely ill-equipped to deal with. The girls are part of a group of students at St. Pius X High School who want to bring mental illness to the forefront by showing students that they’re not alone and giving them the tools to cope. “It starts with tests, exams and friendships, and it can get very stressful,� said Angela, a Grade 12 student. The students recently took part in Mental Health Awareness Week at the school,

which included a series of activities and guest speakers throughout the week to show students they’re not alone, where to go for help and coping strategies. Over the week, students held events during lunch time and guest speakers like a naturopathic doctor, yoga teacher and mental health counselor taught students how to cope with mental health issues. Vanessa, a Grade 11 student, said she’s taken a particular interest in the issue because she wants to be a psychologist someday She said one of the things she hopes to get across to other young people is there is always help, whether you’re struggling with a mental illness or have a friend who is. “Talking will make things

better and if you don’t have family or friends, there’s Kids Help Phone or even your principal,� she said. Teachers also taught lessons touching on topics like anxiety, stress and suicide awareness. Michelle Gauthier, the school’s vice principal, said last year a group of Grade 12 students came forward and wanted to plan events to increase mental health awareness at the school. “Our commitment is to make Pius a place for everybody and if (students) are struggling, there’s help for them and places to go,� she said. “Stress is normal and anxiety is normal, and it’s not something to be embarrassed about.� Gauthier said students

continued their interest in mental health this year, with a group visiting the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre to learn more about it earlier in the school year. She also said members of school staff are interested in getting involved too. “The staff are really excited about it and they feel like they’re doing something,� Gauthier said. “We’re on the right track and we’re looking forward to continuing.� While it’s important to educate staff, she said it’s even more critical to bring mental health awareness to students. “Research tells us kids won’t necessarily talk to their teacher, but they’ll talk to their friends,� Gauthier said. “We need to empower the students.�

Theatre improves access for kids with disabilities Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – Metcalfe’s Just Kiddin Theatre held a workshop on April 21 to help organizers modify and adapt its rural drama program for children with special needs. Guest speakers from the Learning Disability Association of Ottawa-Carleton and the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre gathered with theatre staff, parents and community members at the old town hall in Metcalfe to discuss the difficulties children with learning disabilities and other special needs can face, and how Just Kiddin Theatre can help them perform to their full potential. Theatre founder Andrie Nel said the workshop was

“very educational,� and resulted in a number of “actionable ideas� to help participants excel in the future. The tools included advance schedules of rehearsals and workshops, pictorial breakdowns of each session in timed increments, giving instructions one step at a time, and getting to the root of behavioral issues to explain why a child is acting out. Nel said they were already doing some of these things, and will expand on them. She said the tools will generally not be a burden to incorporate into their programs, because they benefit every child, disabled or not. She admitted that the theatre’s Mainstage program in its current form, which

puts on a full production approximately every 20 weeks throughout the school year, would struggle to incorporate some of the more timeconsuming tools. However the theatre will announce in May, a new fall program that she said will incorporate all of these tools to help kids with disabilities excel, while maintaining the Mainstage program and other sessions. Nel said the workshop validated just how helpful a program like Just Kiddin Theatre can be for a child who suffers from dyslexia, autism or another disability. “There was tremendous validation about the role of theatre, how it’s a great vehicle for them to find acceptance. There is no normal in theatre. Everyone brings their own take on things,� she said. “With theatre you’re inviting %)&'#G%%'&((%'%.

input and collaboration, everyone feels welcome.� No one knows that better than 10-year-old Maxime Tufts, a South Mountain resident who drives half an hour with his mom Chantal Arsenault each week to participate in the Metcalfe program. Maxime has a language disorder that means he can only understand about 30 per cent of what is said to him. Arsenault said it’s been “really tough� to find extra-curricular programs that are willing to take the time to work with him, but Just Kiddin Theatre has been welcoming since the start. “What I get from my son each week is ‘Mom, theatre is the best place in the world.’ He loves it,� Aresnault said, noting that it’s his social skills that have especially benefitted. “Because he was

never welcomed before he was always feeling shunned and not included and he reacted to that, but now he’s allowed to be himself. He’s more of a normal child because he’s allowed to have his disability. The other parts of him can come out without being shy or embarrassed.� The theatre runs out of the old town hall in Metcalfe, and has actively encouraged rural Ottawa kids with learning disabilities and other special needs to participate in the program. Nel said there’s no set number of children with special needs in the program at any given time, but on average there are two or three in each session of 15 young actors. The theatre encourages a pre-registration screening meeting to discuss the level of support a child needs.

Nel said it’s the kids with learning disabilities that perhaps don’t get the amount of attention or help they need, because their difficulties tend to be invisible. “They’re not outwardly physically disabled so the societal norm (is to) expect normal performance from them,� she said, noting that many children with learning disabilities have above-average intelligence. “They score extremely low in certain input or output areas, but in the other areas they are usually in the 99th percentile. They’ve got tremendous strengths, so the trick is to play to them.� A full roster of program changes will be announced Saturday, May 5 before the matinee performance of Power Play at the Metcalfe town hall.

Algonquin hosts panel in honour of National Victims of Crime Awareness Week EMC news - Algonquin College teamed up with the Ottawa police victim unit and the federal department of justice for a workshop called Partnering with victims of crime – Foundations for life long growth on April 27. Students, social workers, police officers and the federal ombudsman for victims of crime were among those who got a chance to listen to a clinical psychologist talk about a victim-centred approach. The victimology program is fairly new, with this year marking the second class of students. Ruth Campbell, the coordinator of the program, said the goal of the one-day workshop was to give people knowledge of the right types of approaches when dealing with victims of crime. “I think it’s important that we have consistent approaches,” she said. “I hope that when people leave here today they know more when they came.” The victimology program at Algonquin is a one-year graduate certificate course that takes in graduates of social work, nursing and policing programs. Donna Watson-Elliot, manager of the Ottawa Police Service’s victim crisis team, said the three students of the program are currently completing their co-op hours working for the team. “We already partner with the college in a lot of other areas, so this just made sense,” she said. “When people end up in the justice system, we want

Hill said knowing the victims circumstances and background can help determine which kind of approach is best. “If she was referred, that would make a difference in terms of establishing trust,”

Dr. James Hill said. This year marked the seventh National Victims of Crime Awareness Week. It’s a week dedicated to raising public awareness about victim issues and the programs, services and laws that are available. This year’s theme was Moving On. It was chosen to represent the change that can take place in people as they move forward from being a victim. It is also supposed to represent the changes in the government’s focus on victim services and the changes in services available over the last 20 years. “It’s important for us to know where we all fit in the overall context of services to all victims,” Watson-Elliot said.

Sewers and sidewalks to be replaced Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - The replacement of water mains along King George and Quill streets will help reduce the number of flooded basements and see new concrete sidewalks installed, residents learned at a recent meeting. In an effort to inform affected residents, the city held an open house at the Overbrook Community Centre on April 25. The replacement project will go a long way towards preventing flooded basements in the area, an issue many of those in attendance at the open house expressed concern about. “Over the years, we have had three floods in our basement,” said Peter McFarland, a member of the Overbrook Community Association executive board. Association president Sheila Perry said when she lived on Queen Mary Street, one severe flood left a kayak floating in her basement.

Cleaning up a flooded basement can cost as much as $20,000 and many residents at the open house were happy the city was taking some ownership of the issue. “It is definitely a big job, which no one wants to have happen in their home,” said Jamie MacDonald, the city’s manager for the project, about basement flooding issues. “This construction will reduce that risk,” The area currently has asphalt sidewalks which are scheduled to be replaced with standard concrete sidewalks as part of the project. King George Street will be narrowed to allow for the widening of the sidewalks. According to city staff, home owners in the area won’t have to worry about where they’ll park their cars during the construction. They assured residents they will always have access to their homes, or in some special cases, parking passes will be given out.

Overbrook creates community wish list

Association to begin tackling action items as early as this summer Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - A communication board, more community events, benches and a proper soccer field are just a few of the items on a wish list recently created by the Overbrook Community Association in an effort to focus its efforts on the needs of the neighbourhood. The wish list was presented at an association meeting on April 19 following a request by president Sheila Perry to have board members submit their wishes, which she in turn compiled into one long list. “This is the beginning of the wish list,” Perry said. “A start of what people would like to see. It is now up to us to formalize this list.” Perry’s goal is to start tackling items on the list by the beginning of summer. Some board members expressed concerns about the ability of the association to get everything accomplished. With more than 16 items making the first draft cut, board member Peter McFarland said he felt a special meeting was needed to sim-

ply address this list. “Nothing we have done before has been as important as this list,” McFarland said. “We need to sit down and work on this.” The board agreed and a special meeting was tentatively set for early this month. Easy fix items such as more garbage cans near bus stops and more complex requests such as a community garden near Lawson Avenue, Lola Street or Presland Road were among the items discussed. Board member Roy Hannah said putting bocce courts at the park near the Overbrook Community Centre would appeal to the seniors in the area, as well as the senior community at large as there are very few courts in the city. “It could pull people into the community,” Hannah said. Although everyone acknowledged the list was long, it was a start to a way the group could help better the area. “The whole idea is to look at making improvements,” Perry said.

President of the Overbrook Community Association, Sheila Perry said the list is aiming to pinpoint key issues begin the process of positive change for their community.

JORDAN ID#A141861 This spayed female, brown tabby and white Domestic Shorthair cat is approximately five years old. She was surrendered to the shelter by her owner on April 2. Jordan is a larger cat who loves to be cuddled. She is very affectionate and gets along well with children and adults. Jordan enjoys the company of other cats who respect her space when she needs it. This charismatic kitty needs a home where she can feel safe and loved – she can be a little bit shy at first and her nervousness can make her lose her appetite, but give her a chance to warm up and you’ll have a life-long companion.

KEEP YOUR CAT SAFE

R0011377282

The Ottawa Humane Society warns cat owners not to allow cats to access apartment balconies, terraces or open windows. If your cat falls, it can result in serious injuries or even death. The OHS Rescue and Investigation Services team responds to countless emergency calls each year about cats that have fallen from apartment balconies. Injuries sustained in a fall like this – what veterinarians refer to as ‘high-rise syndrome’ – are 100 per cent preventable. “In the spring and summer we see an increase in the number of cats that

are injured or have died because of a fall,” says Bruce Roney, executive director of the OHS. “Cats lose their balance and they fall and unfortunately, they sustain serious injuries.” The most common injuries associated with these incidents are shattered jaws, bruised or punctured lungs, and broken limbs and pelvises. Cats like to perch in dangerous, high places and appear to have little fear of heights. Many owners believe that cats will not fall. But they do fall, thousands of them each year from balconies, open windows and rooftops. Sometimes a cat that has been watching a bird will

become so focused, he or she may step out into thin air. Safeguard your cat against high-rise syndrome: 1. Do not allow your cat free access to balconies. 2. Provide a comfortable body harness and hold on to the leash. 3. Never leave you cat unsupervised if there is a risk of a fall. 4. Have your cat spayed or neutered, as this can enhance their concentration and decrease their desire to roam. 5. Have your cat microchipped, so he/she has the best possible chance of making it home should it become lost.

This spayed female, white Domestic Medium hair cat is just over a year old. She was brought to the shelter as a stray on March 17, but is now available for adoption. Snowy loves to receive affection after a good play session, and has striking blue eyes. She can be a bit of a rough player, so she will get along best with experienced cat owners and older children. Staff at the OHS think that Snowy may be deaf. Snowy needs a very special home environment and a family willing to deal with the needs of a deaf cat. Snowy cannot be let outdoors because she can’t hear dangers approaching, and she needs owners who won’t be disturbed by her vocal tendencies. This beautiful feline is a “special needs adoption,” not for medical reasons but just to help her find the right home. Please visit the shelter and speak to an Adoption Counselor to find out if you are the right home for Snowy’s needs.
