EMC news - The construction of a new elementary school in Findlay Creek will be considered by the Ministry of Education this summer. Every year, the ministry looks at the top-10 business cases for new schools or additions submitted by each school board. Findlay Creek sits number 12 on the Ottawa public school board’s capital priorities list, but two of the top 10 projects’ business cases have been presented to the ministry in previous years. Trustee Mark Fisher (Gloucester Southgate/Nepean/Osgoode) said there is still much work to complete before construction of a new school can begin. “My priority now is to confirm that a business case is going to be developed, making sure that we are on the list for accommodation reviews that would need to be undertaken in 2012-13 to make sure we have got all the steps in place to go forward with a new build hopefully in 2014 because that has always been the target date,� said Fisher. The Findlay Creek Community Association on May 11 launched a school age survey to understand how many children in the community that are attending or would be attending a public elementary school. “We are trying to get a good understanding of how many children will go to the school if it is built,� said Sumana Jana, chair of the association’s education committee. About 30 parents showed up to sign the petition at Fred Barett Arena on May 11. FINDLAY CREEK, see 3

Titanic remembered For nearly six months, students at Uplands Catholic School gave up their recess to prepare a production on the sinking of the Titanic, 100 years after the unforgettable story of the most memorable ship. Cassandra Galbrait was one of a dozen performers. The students presented Titanic on May 9.

Kids honoured for making the right call Ottawa South children recognized at city hall’s 911 awards ceremony Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – A pair of south Ottawa children were among six youth honoured for making the right call in an emergency during the 14th annual 911 Children’s Achievement Awards held at city hall on May 11. Gavin Abraham, who was 10-yearsold at the time of his call to 911 last October, acted quickly in getting his father the assistance he needed on three separate occasions when he suffered seizures.

Presenting the award to Abraham, Bay ward Coun. Mark Taylor, who also serves as chair of the city’s community and protective services committee, said he was very impressed with the recipients’ ability to confirm both his address and his phone number and how he calmly answered medically specific questions about his father’s medical status. “Gavin even reassured the paramedic communications officer he was speaking with, that he knew exactly what to do to help his dad, because his mother, had previously taught him how,� said Taylor. Abraham even provided his father with first aid care until paramedics arrived. “Their acts are an example of individuals being prepared and knowing what to do in frightening and potentially danger-

ous situations,� added Watson. River ward Coun. Maria McRae made a special presentation to a young hero from her ward – 11-year-old Abdallah Jarah, a Grade 6 student at Fielding Drive Public School. Jarah called 911 to report that his older brother was having a seizure. “As his mother cared for his older brother, Abdallah translated the patient information from Arabic to English for the paramedic service call taker,� McRae said of Jarah. “Because of your actions, because of your quick thinking, because of your bravely and your courage you helped save lives,� said Mayor Jim Watson at the award ceremony. 911, see 2

Ride for Dad on June 2 EMC news - Ottawa’s Telus Motorcycle Ride For Dad has launched its 2012 fundraising campaign, marking the beginning of a month-long fundraising initiative to gather support and pledges for their motorcycle ride being held in Ottawa on June 2 in support of prostate cancer research and awareness. The ride will be a day of fun for a serious cause. Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed men’s cancer. “Prostate cancer is a needless killer for men,” said Jim Summers, co-chair of the Ot-

tawa chapter. One in seven Canadian men will be diagnosed with this disease in their lifetime. The Ottawa ride is the largest across Canada. In 2011, it raised a record breaking $415,000 for prostate cancer research and awareness and had the highest number of participants of any Ride For Dad event at 2,350. To help the ride reach its goals, Freedom Harley Davidson of Ottawa is donating a Harley-Davidson 883 Iron motorcycle to give away to one lucky participant on ride day.

Six outstanding young members of the Ottawa community were honoured on May 11 for their courageous actions in making the right call when faced with frightening situations. Photo by Eddie Rwema

Residents are encouraged to use 911 in any situation where a fire, medical emergency or crime-in-progress jeopardizes the safety of people or property.

Watson said the all six of the children were setting fine examples of how anyone should react when faced with a similar situation. “You are truly role models for other young people in our community,” said Watson.

Ministry to consider funding new school in Findlay Creek FINDLAY CREEK, from 1

The survey asks questions like if your child attends another public elementary school, will you move them to the new school in Findlay Creek? Not having an elementary school in Findlay Creek, a community of mostly young parents, has been difficult according to parents that showed up to fill the survey. “It is difficult and very frustrating,” said Shelley Dougan. “We were promised, there would be a school when we were moving here.” Currently, about 250 children living in Findlay Creek

attend Ottawa Carleton District School Board schools outside the community. The need for an elementary public school in Findlay Creek has become a significant issue given the neighbourhood’s rate of growth, said trustee Fisher. “If you look at Findlay Creek, it meets at least five criteria’s that the ministry has set and that speaks well for what we are trying to do as a community in moving this project forward,” he added. He hopes having the business case developed for the project will mean maintaining the 2014 opening date. “I haven’t received any in-

dications that date is slipping at all but it is something I am watching every single day and making sure we are pushing this project forward as aggressively as we can,” said Fisher “I think it is important for the community and it is important for me to make sure we get this resolved,” he said. “It’s been going on now since 2006 and we need some clear timelines and direction from the ministry in terms of how they are going to move forward with this community.” The majority of students in Findlay Creek currently attend Elizabeth Park Public School.

How to Avoid Costly Housing Mistakes Before and After a Divorce Ottawa & Area - Divorce is rarely easy and often means a lot of difficult decisions. One of the most important decisions is what to do about the house. In the midst of the heavy emotional and financial turmoil, what you need most is some non-emotional, straightforward, specific information and answers. Once you know how a divorce affects your home, your mortgage and taxes, critical decisions are easier. Neutral, third party information can help you make logical, rather than emotional, decisions. Probably the first decision is whether you want to continue living in the house. Will the familiar surroundings bring you comfort and emotional security, or unpleasant memories? Do you want to minimize change by staying where you are, or sell your home and move to a new place that offers a new start? Only you can answer those questions, but there will almost certainly be some financial

repercussions to your decision process. What can you afford? Can you manage the old house on your new budget? Is refinancing possible? Or is it better to sell and buy? How much house can buy on your new budget? To help you know what questions you should ask and how to arrive at the right answer for your specific situation, a FREE special report has been prepared by industry experts entitled "Divorce: What You Need to Know About Your House, Your Mortgage and Taxes".

Ottawa Hospital unveils robot-assisted surgery system Eddie Rwema

open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, which uses small incisions but is typically limited to very simple procedures. The da Vinci surgical system is essentially a robotic hand that is manipulated by the surgeon to access hard-toreach areas of the body with smaller incisions and great precision. It is currently being used to treat prostate cancer patients. Surgical oncologist, Dr. Rodney Breau demonstrated

eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – Thanks to generous donations, the Ottawa Hospital is now able to perform prostate surgery using the very latest in surgical technology. Robot-assisted surgery is now a reality at The Ottawa Hospital –one of only a dozen hospitals in Canada to offer this groundbreaking technology. The technology provides an alternative to both traditional

the da Vinci System on May 11 at the official unveiling at The Ottawa Hospital. “This is the future,” Breau said in a statement. “We are using technology – in this case a high-tech surgical assistant – to reduce complications, minimize pain and facilitate faster recoveries. We are revolutionizing the treatment of many cancer patients.” The $5 million da Vinci surgical system was purchased entirely through community donations.

Tim Kluke, president and CEO of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation said the da Vinci system is part of The Ottawa Hospital’s commitment to 21st Century health care. “We are investing in stateof-the-art technology to support new approaches and new treatments. It’s an investment that depends on community support.” Last year, businessman and prostate cancer survivor Stephen Greenberg launched a campaign to raise $5 million

to help the Ottawa Hospital buy its first surgical robot that would allow doctors to perform intricate operations. Greenberg was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and took advantage of robot-assisted surgery in Detroit because the procedure was not yet available in Ottawa. When he returned he was determined to bring this hightech surgical system to The Ottawa Hospital. Not only did he chair the robot fundraising committee, the Stephen and

Jocelyne Greenberg Foundation donated $1 million. “Jocelyne and I are very pleased that everyone who can benefit from this best-in-class technology will now have access to it here in Ottawa,” Greenberg said in a release. “I think that as a community we should be very excited and proud today. Proud that as a community we came together to support this initiative and excited by the ambitious plans that The Ottawa Hospital has for robotic surgery.”

Uplands Catholic School presents Titanic eddie.rwemametroland.com

EMC news – For close to six months, students at Uplands Catholic School gave up their recess to prepare a production on the sinking of the Titanic, 100 years after the unforgettable story of the most memorable ship. The preparations were culminated by a six scene production on May 9 – an emotionally charged production that required uncommon talent and dedication. “The kids were so dedicated and none of them ever said they wanted to quit, nobody ever got tired and quite a few of them got their costumes together,” said Julie Jackson, teacher and director of the production. In the early hours of April 15, 1912, the unthinkable happened when the Titanic sank during its maiden voyage. It remains the quintessential disaster of the twentieth century. A total of 1517 men, women and children lost their lives. Only 711 survived.

Tree planting advice available EMC news – Landowners interested in planting trees on their idle land starting in the Spring of 2013 will get help from conservation authority staff. If you have the land and the desire to leave a family or community legacy, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) has grant dollars and technical expertise to help you create your own future forest for the grand kids, for the environment or just for the heck of it. The RVCA provides free, one-on-one site visits by forestry professionals who can help develop customized planting plans to suit your individual objectives and property needs. If you have a minimum of 0.4 hectares of land and are interested in planting a minimum of 500 trees, the RVCA has programs that provide significant subsidies to reduce the costs. In fact, landowners with three acres or more of suitable land are eligible for subsidies that reduce costs by over 90 per cent. The RVCA has a long history of planting trees throughout the watershed. Since 1983 the RVCA has planted more than four million trees. This spring’s planting has just wrapped up with 230,000 being planted on private land throughout the watershed. “Our programs offer a great deal of value at very low costs. Best of all, our trees are guaranteed to reach free-to-grow status,” said Dan Cooper, RVCA forest program manager.

Jackson, who has always had a fascination with Titanic, decided to stage a production about the ship following a request from one of her students. “This originally began as a reading play in the classroom and one of my students requested we put it on as part of the 100th anniversary of Titanic,” said Jackson. She said working with the young actors was exciting. “The experience was fantastic. The kids were so excited and so many may go on and become actors and actresses in the future,” said Jackson. She added that the production has bonded all of the actors together as a team. For eight-year-old William Bergeron, it was an experience he will never forget. “It was really good but at the same time sad because many people died,” said Bergeron. School principle, Tracy Mertz was full of appreciation for the group’s performance at the school. “I am beaming. They are just so wonderful,” she said.

Book fair money saves school programs Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Food, glorious food

Orphans sing about the glory of food during the Sawmill Creek Elementary School drama club’s presentation of Oliver! on May 10. About 100 students participated in the stage play based on the novel Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. Proceeds from the play will support the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

EMC news - Debts owed by the Rockcliffe Park School Council will be paid off in part by using the school’s book fair money following the discovery that more than $75,000 went missing from the council’s bank account. The council’s board of directors is responsible for money generated by a number of programs for students at the school, including milk and a pizza lunch programs. The money helps fund things such as school trips and an afterschool homework club. After discovering more than $75,000 was missing from their bank accounts in late March, the council spent the month of April trying to sort through accounts owing and sought to secure a loan to cover any liabilities. At a May 8 meeting, the council announced the payment plan to parents. “We are committed to paying off creditors, ensuring continuity for services and to minimize the burden to future councils,� said Elise Zarkadas, president of the council.

Members of the Rockcliffe Park School Council addressed the missing money from their accounts on May 8. To help cover these costs, the council will use $19,000 from the 2011 book fair money. This money was not allocated to anything, but the idea did not sit well with some parents, who asked what the school and their children will be doing without as a result. The money could have been used to purchase two Smart boards and pay for a portion of a new play structure. Another $4,000 was to be donated to a local school. “These were suggestions, but they have not been discussed beyond that,â€? said Gillian Campbell, a member at large of the council. The money will help cover the cost for both the pizza program and the annual Grade 6 trip. Book fair chairwoman Seanna Kreager addressed the board’s decision on behalf of the book fair committee. “We are upset the community has been put in this horrible situation, but we are happy we have worked hard to come up with a solution,â€? she said. The missing funds were brought to light when Bettye Hyde, the provider of the after-school daycare program, notiďŹ ed parents the program had not been paid since December 2011 and the council had an outstanding balance of

$29,696. After reaching an agreement with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, Bettye Hyde and outstanding invoices for the milk program have been paid in full. The board, Zarkadas said, is committed to rebuilding the trust of the school community and maintaining a tradition of volunteerism. The controversy has generated a great deal of interest in the school community. Joel Berger, the board member who manages the school council website said April 10 saw more activity on the site in 24 hours than it had seen in the previous two years. According to Berger, on that particular Tuesday afternoon, there were more than 15,000 hits on the site. Prior to the discovery of the missing funds, the council had their own accounts, making them vulnerable. A motion accepted at the May 8 meeting will see school council ďŹ nances managed in a school board account. The council’s treasurer will work with school administrators and make monthly reports at school council meetings. The circumstances remain under investigation by police.

Mayfair theatre may close by June due to slow business Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

already operating the Mayfair Theatere on Bank Street. Demarbre is a long-time Orleans resident who attended St. Matthew Catholic High School as a teenager – and a long-time movie buff. But the Mayfair plays a mix of classics and Hollywood hits, with a higher proportion of current blockbuster movies than the namesake Bank Street theatre. When a ďŹ lm is just released,

theaters have to give the studio a much higher percentage of ticket sales during the ďŹ rst few weekends, so the Mayfair waits a few weeks before bringing them in. They can then charge signiďŹ cantly less; $5 per person once the customer has a $10 individual or $20 family membership. Non-membership ticket prices are available as well. But “there are too many ups

and downs,â€? Demarbre said. He thought that the 35mm ďŹ lm he uses would entice more visitors to the theatre. “Film is a treat and it’s worth driving across town for,â€? he said. It’s an independently-run theater with trained staff behind the projects; often kids will come up to see the projectors and how the ďŹ lms are stored before or after the movies.

Hollywood studios are threatening to stop producing the 35 mm ďŹ lm and go all digital after this year, similar to the phasing out of VHS tapes, but both theatres own many originals that they would still show. The attendance numbers just haven’t been there, and if business doesn’t increase in the next few weeks, Demarbre is worried they will have to close the Orleans theatre.

Infrastructure renewal program needs to slow down

C

racks are starting to show in the city’s ambitious Ottawa on the Move infrastructure investment plan. Three major road reconstruction projects announced in the City of Ottawa’s 2012 budget, will be pushed back a year, with work starting in 2013. The delay is needed to prevent a log-jam of construction that would clog the streets and potentially create traffic havoc.

One of the projects, the reconstruction of Main Street, would seriously limit access across the Rideau River – so the road must stay open to allow for detours until 2013. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko says it’s important to slow down and plan properly to give the city time “to get it right.” We couldn’t agree more. In 2012, the City of Ottawa introduced a $340-million Ottawa on the Move program, an ambitious plan to reconstruct hundreds of pieces of Ottawa’s

roads, water pipes, bridges and other infrastructure projects over the course of two years. This summer, the municipality’s 61 infrastructure project managers will handle 340 projects around the city – a heavy workload. The reason for the push makes sense. Ottawa on the Move was created to catch up on the city’s infrastructure work and prepare the municipality for its sesquicentennial anniversary or 150th birthday in 2017. The city will take advantage

of historic lows in interest rates to borrow $125 million to help debt finance these projects. Makes sense. There’s no question about the need for investing in the city’s crumbling infrastructure – Ottawa’s public infrastructure assets are valued at $14 billion and those assets depreciate at a rate of more than $200 million per year. On average, Ottawa spends about 35 per cent of what it should be spending on infrastructure renewal. The city should be invest-

ing $110 million every year on roads renewal alone. Instead, Ottawa spent $42.7 million last year. But that dropped to $23.9 million this year and $27.2 million in 2013. But 2014, it will soar back up to $56.7 million. The problem with the city’s Ottawa on the Move infrastructure push is two-fold: planning and timing. Trying to accomplish too much too quickly with just 61 planning project managers leaves the municipality open to making planning errors.

The delays of the three road projects are examples of some of the problems these overworked planning managers are facing. The city needs to slow down and get it right the first time. It will have a chance to do that when it begins work on the new Infrastructure Master Plan this year, which will be aligned with reviews of several other major city plans for land and transportation. Let’s plan ahead and get it right instead of playing catch up.

COLUMN

The cruel facts of urban living CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

T

his seems to happen all the time these days. You drive to a doctor’s office or a dentist’s office or a lawyer’s office. The office is in a big glass building away from downtown with all sorts of room around it. Or it’s in a strip mall. Either way there’s lots of room around it for parking, which is the good thing about not being downtown. That’s what you say to yourself as you notice the welcome sign “Visitor Parking” and ease the car into a spot. Only then do you spot the machine over at the side and realize that you are going to have to pay to park, pay here, in this spacious and uncongested area. Why do they make you do that? Because they can. Because that little patch of asphalt you’re on can earn thousands of dollars. You’re stuck. You have to see the doctor or the dentist or the lawyer and the parking gods know that. It serves no social purpose to make you pay for parking. It is cruel and unfair and it is a fact of life in the city in the new millennium. The sad thing about it is you feel a bit guilty even complaining. Making parking scarce and expensive has long been a strategy aimed at getting you out of your car and onto the bus, thus reducing traffic congestion and air pollution. Therefore when you complain you are revealing yourself as one of those thoughtless individuals who will ruin the planet just so they can listen to the car radio for a few minutes. But … but … you say. These offices aren’t downtown where the traffic congestion is; they’re in the burbs where there’s no congestion and in fact nothing, nothing but places to park.

Plus, the bus only really works when you’re going downtown, or going somewhere from downtown. Your words are going to fall on deaf ears, you know that. You could launch a protest, but it would only be seen as another attempt by rich car-owning suburbanites to make life easier for themselves, at the expense of the planet. So life is unfair, except for the parking gods and their little friends. The scary thing is that it could get a lot less fair, when the remaining places where we’re used to free parking start charging. That would mean the big suburban shopping centres, the big suburban movie complexes, the restaurants and supermarkets away from the downtown core. If the parking machines began appearing at St. Laurent and Kanata Centrum and McDonald’s and Loblaws, you’d be madder than hell, right? And where would that get you? In a perfect world it would get you onto the bus, but this is not a perfect world and nobody seems much interested in making it one. Bus service is contracting just at the time it needs to expand, particularly on a local basis. In another version of a perfect world, we would shun the paid parking lot and walk to our neighbourhood stores. But few of us are close to neighbourhood stores any more, when they even exist. Maybe, in the long run, the inconveniencing of car owners will lead to pressure on city planners to create living spaces that are livable, where you don’t have to get into a car every time you want some little thing and where people can’t soak you for parking every time you turn around. Maybe, this will happen in the long run and the Barrhavens of the future will look more like The Glebe and Westboro. There will be less traffic and we will all be in better shape for having places to walk to. Instead of total subjugation by the automobile we get liberation from it. That would be the vision, and let’s hope the vision sustains you as you grit your teeth and pay the machine.

Roger’s House honours creators and staff One of many Diamond Jubilee events being held across the country this year Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – Roger’s House held a special Diamond Jubilee awards ceremony recognizing those who helped create the children’s palliative-care facility on the grounds next to CHEO in Alta Vista on May 10. The ceremony is one of the many Diamond Jubilee events being held across the country to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. The eight-bed facility offers respite care for families, pain management and bereavement counseling. “Today is about acknowledging those who conceived the idea, planned, developed and deliver the program of service,� said Erin Crowe, chair of the board of Roger’s House. Those honoured included the creators of Roger’s House, physicians who have been involved since the beginning and continue to provide spe-

cialized care to the children and volunteers. Sharon Carstairs, retired senator and passionate advocate for palliative care across the nation was on hand to speak about the importance of palliative care for children and the need for hospice care. “The symbol of a hospice care is allowing people to die in a rose garden, being surrounded by those who care, those who love and those who have compassion,� she said. She acknowledged that it takes a community to create the support these families need. “You make Canada a much better place and that is why you should be honoured with a Diamond Jubilee medal,� said Carstairs. The facility was named for former Ottawa Senators assistant coach Roger Neilson, who died from cancer in 2003. Award recipients included Dave Ready, a former Sens Foundation president, and

Vincent Gabriel Kirouac and his horse, Coeur de Lion (Lionheart) walk down Montreal Road on May 9.

Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Vincent Gabriel Kirouac is riding his horse across Canada to demonstrate qualities he wants Canadians to have. “I’m crossing Canada for people to understand that we can be honourable,” Kirouac said. “Say what you’re going to do, and do it. And if you’re not able to do it, learn from your mistakes.” He made his way from east of Cumberland down St. Joseph Boulevard in Orleans and into the downtown core via Montreal Road. Kendra Towns was about to leave her Orleans home for the gym when her sister told her about a knight on horseback. “I was super excited, I literally said, ‘What are you waiting for? Let’s go.” She said. “It’s not every day you see a knight. I couldn’t stop smiling or laughing, it was just too unreal. He made my morning much more interesting and

amusing.” Kirouac hails from a small village near Rivère-de-Loup, Que., where he works as a horse trainer. He’ll likely stick with that after his journey wraps up instead of being a full time knight – though he may be able to find a spot at Medieval Times if he keeps up his armoured appearance. “I’m a very bad fighter so I don’t think they’ll hire me,” he said. “Maybe let me wear the crown as king.” Towns, who just graduated with a history degree specializing in medieval history, Kirouac’s armour, which she only saw from the car, looked historically accurate. “It’s probably as good as you can get by today’s standards without being too uncomfortable,” she said. “Armour was not exactly built for comfort. I would have loved to have stopped and talked to him. It’s an intriguing concept.” Kirouac had a long day on

May 9, set to cover almost double his daily 30-kilometre goal. He has to stop for breaks along the way to give his horse, Coeur de Lion (Lionheart) a chance to rest. He often stays at farms where he does work to cover his room and board. He has been on the road since April 1 and expects the trip to British Columbia to take about six months. His next stop is North Bay, where he’ll evaluate the best route to continue west. “The goal is to meet people, and if there’s nobody (along the route) there is no reason to get stuck in the woods with flies and bugs,” he said. He wants to maximize the number of people he can meet along the way to remind them to keep their morals high – and to remember to smile. “Be warm-hearted with people and be smiling and everybody will be happy,” Kirouac said. “I always wanted to be a knight and carry the valour and chivalry.”

Piriformis Syndrome – A Pain in the Butt!

By: Your Family Physiotherapy Team

Having trouble sitting comfortably or even walking for more than 15 minutes due to pain? Suffering from tenderness in the buttock region with occasional numbness and tingling down the back of your leg? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you could be affected by a condition called Piriformis Syndrome. The piriformis is a small muscle located in your buttock that runs from the bottom of the spine to the top of your hip that helps to rotate your leg outwards. Although it is only approximately 3-5cm in size, this seemingly minor muscle can cause you major discomfort if it becomes tight. The piriformis muscle usually

tenses up from overuse, however, other causes may include: direct trauma (i.e. a fall), muscle imbalance, muscle spasm, abnormal walking patterns, and improper sitting posture. If you are experiencing a burning or tingling sensation down the back of your leg, it may be caused by compression one of the body’s larger nerves, known as the sciatic nerve, which may run above, below or right through the piriformis itself. Self-treatment of Piriformis Syndrome includes avoiding sitting for long periods of time, irritating activities, and stretching. A visit to your local family physiotherapist can

help speed up the process of loosening up the piriformis by providing you with a combination of 1) Manual soft tissue releases of tight musculature 2) Therapeutic modalities for pain and inflammation 3) Appropriate stretching and strengthening programs to manage and prevent reoccurrence of this condition. Once that tiny muscle is able to relax, you will be able to, too!

EMC news - Council’s approval of preliminary Lansdowne Park reconstruction work on May 8 marked the first time the city councillor for Capital Ward, where the park is located, didn’t cast a dissenting vote. That doesn’t mean David Chernushenko is suddenly onside with the project, it’s just that he has no opportunity left to withhold his support for the plans, since council has already given the go-ahead. Chernushenko still questions the need to move the Horticulture Building, but since council already voted to approve that move and remove the building’ heritage designation to do so, there is no point in objecting on a vote now, he said. “This isn’t about ‘Should we move it,’” he said. “It’s

about ‘Should we move it now,’ and make cleaning up the soil a more efficient and thorough job and allow the restoration of the building to go ahead.” If the city doesn’t get started on that work, it runs the risk of not improving the Horticulture Building at all if the project falls through. “We’ll have … (it) spruced up and ready for use, albeit against good heritage principals of not moving it, but I couldn’t get that part,” Chernushenko said. “At least I got the other (part). After decades of not doing anything to keep it up, that’s the unfortunate trade off.” Moving ahead with some pre-construction work required city council to approve advancing $12.6 million from the total $14 million from the Lansdowne project’s budget. Since councillors unanimously ap-

proved that plan on May 8, some work can now move forward, including the demolition of the Coliseum Building, relocation of utilities and other work related to moving the Horticulture Building and Approving preliminary construction work doesn’t mean the Lansdowne Partnership Plan with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group has been finalized, however. The pact with the group of Ottawa business leaders working with the city to redevelop the park still needs the final approval of council. The city’s finance and economic development committee and city council will receive the final legal agreements with a report in the next few months. On April 30, three Ontario Superior Court judges agreed that the city’s partnership with the OSEG doesn’t constitute

an illegal subsidy for a private business, rejecting the Friends of Lansdowne’s legal appeal of the project. The Friends could still ask the Supreme Court of Canada to consider another appeal.

New ‘sharrows’ coming to the city Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – As part of a new cycling safety push, the city will be painted a slew of new “sharrow” lanes this summer. The arrow and bicycle pavement markings assist cyclists and drivers with knowing how much space to leave and alert them when cyclists must take the lane. They are used on streets, such as Lyon Street, that aren’t quite wide enough for a dedicated cycling lane. And now, the city will be adding six new sections of sharrow lanes to the eight that already exist. New sharrows planned for 2012 include: - Somerset Street West between Wellington Street West and Booth Street -Wellington StreetWest from Island Park Drive to Somerset - Byron Avenue from Island Park to Holland Avenue - Tyndall Street from Holland to Parkdale Avenue - Parkdale Avenue from Tyndall to Gladstone Avenue - Gladstone Avenue from Parkdale eastwards A couple more are already on the list for 2013: Cobourg Street from Wilbrod Street to

Rideau Street and along parts of Rideau between Nicolas Street and the Rideau River. Other sharrows are possible, including O’Connor Street, but those are still under discussion and no confirmed plan has been made, said city spokesperson Jocelyne Turner. O’Connor is being looked at for cycling facilities as part of the Transportation Demand Management strategy for the Lansdowne Park revitalization, so any cycling plans for that street likely wouldn’t happen until 2013 or 2014, Turner said. Along with the new sharrows, the city launched an advertising campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of “dooring.” The city is urging drivers to look behind them before opening their doors and cyclists are reminded to position themselves one metre away from parked cars. Ottawa resident Danielle Nacu, 33, lost her life on Oct. 11, 2011 when the driver of a parked car on Queen Street opened the car door and knocked Nacu into the path of an oncoming vehicle. For more information visit ottawa.ca/cycling.

Several road and infrastructure construction projects will be delayed after they were cut from the 2012 roster of projects in the city’s Ottawa on the Move program. Projects on Main Street, McIlraith Bridge and Bronson Avenue will all be delayed until 2013. The city said having so many roads under construction could clog the road network. File photo

Ottawa on the Move projects delayed to 2013 Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – A push to reconstruct hundreds of pieces of Ottawa’s roads, water pipes, bridges and more may have been too ambitious. Three major road reconstruction projects announced as part of the $340 million Ottawa on the Move initiative in the city’s 2012 budget won’t start until 2013. Those projects include Main Street and in McIlraith Bridge in Old Ottawa East, Bronson Avenue from Carling Avenue to the Rideau Canal and Carling from the O-Train to Bronson. The projects were delayed because having too many major roads under construction

at once could compromise the road network, clogging Ottawa’s streets and creating traffic havoc. In particular, reconstructing Main Street would seriously limit access across the Rideau River, so that road must stay open to allow for detours until next year, said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. The delay isn’t necessarily a bad thing, the councillor said. “As long as we get the consultation and design work started soon, it gives more time to get it right and it means we won’t have practically landlocked areas of town where mega projects are going on,” Chernushenko said. “There are just so

many projects going on that it didn’t make sense for a variety of reasons.” On Main Street, the delay will also give more time for design to ensure the issue of road vibration is addressed through the reconstruction, Chernushenko said. “People are talking about almost jumping in their seats,” in their homes due to traffic, and that’s an issue that can be fixed as part of the rebuild, Chernushenko said. In all, Ottawa on the Move and infrastructure projects – from rebuilding roads to fixing culverts – will account for $600 million in spending this summer, according to city spokesperson Jocelyne Turner.

The delays will also help ensure staffing levels are up to par, Turner said. The city’s 61 infrastructure project managers will handle 340 projects around the city this summer, and trying to include the major road projects on Main, Carling and Bronson would be a stretch for staff. Ottawa on the Move is intended to catch up on infrastructure work and particularly improve the transportation network in advance of construction for the city’s light-rail system beginning in 2013. The projects are also intended to spruce up the city’s transportation network in advance of the city’s “sesquicentennial,” or 150th birthday, in 2017.

Man charged in connection with series of sex assaults Ottawa South EMC staff

EMC news - Ottawa Police charged a 25-year-old Ottawa man in connection with a series of sexual assaults in various locations across the city. Most of the incidents involved women reporting a man coming up behind them and pulling down their pants. The incidents were reported between April 14 and May 7. He was faces a total of 27 charges including sexual assault, mischief, breach of probation and criminal harassment. He was arrested on May 9 at about 7 p.m. while riding an OC Transpo bus in the west end of the city. THREE MALES CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH LAPTOP ROBBERY

Three male suspects have been charged by police following a street robbery on May 2 that began as a sale of merchandise advertised on an online forum. On May 2, arrangements were made to sell a laptop computer through a website. When the male victim arrived at the meeting place in Sandy Hill shortly after 7 p.m., he was met by three teens. The potential buyers indicated they needed to go a bank machine to get the money to complete the purchase. As the victim was walking with the buyers, he was jumped from behind by the suspects, one of whom was armed with a knife. The laptop computer was taken and the suspects fled to a vehicle. The vehicle was located a short time later by police and two suspects were arrested. The third suspect was arrested on May 4 by robbery unit investigators. An 18-yearold man and two youths, ages 16 and 17, are charged with robbery, possessing a weapon to commit an offence and conspiracy. The 16-year-old is additionally charged with three counts of breach of recognizance and one count of breach of a Youth Criminal Justice Act sentence. POLICE SEEK WITNESSES OF FATAL ST.

Sidewalk sale returns to Glebe Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC community - The Great Glebe Garage Sale will return to the neighbourhood’s streets this year, offering residents the chance to browse for used treasures while helping out the Ottawa Food Bank. The event, organized by the Glebe Community Association, will take place rain or shine on May 26. Association board member Lynn Barlow said the sale will be helping out an important cause in the shape of the food bank. “The Ottawa Food Bank helps on average 45,000 people a month,” Barlow said. “That to me is astonishing. And 37 per cent are children. It is important to help.” Barlow said the association encourages participants to donate 10 per cent of any garage sale earnings to the cause. Buyers are also encouraged to make a donation. Last year the event raised $8,566. The annual sale sees home owners, community centres, schools and churches participating, using front lawns, driveways and parking lots to display wares. Those living outside the Glebe can rent space in the neighbourhood by going to the Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group website at gnag.ca,

which features a map of locations available. As an added bonus this year, the sidewalk sale will return to storefronts along Bank Street. Last year, because of reconstruction work, the sidewalk sale was canceled. Barlow said many people are looking forward to the return of the sale. “I think for them it is bigger than Boxing Day,” Barlow said of the effect on area merchants. The garage sale will feature a number of musical acts set up throughout the community as well as a main stage at Glebe Avenue and Bank Street. And for those who want to help raise money, but don’t wish to rent space, Barlow said they can stop off at the Great Glebe Green Garage Sale at the Rogers Plus and Kunstadt Sports parking lot. Organized through Ecology Ottawa, donations will be collected before the sale, with proceeds from the sale going towards various Ottawa charities. More information about how to participate in the Great Glebe Green Garage Sale can be found on Ecology Ottawa’s website at ecologyottawa.ca. Due to the overwhelming popularity of the garage sale, the community association is asking shoppers to leave their cars at home.

Canada House By Jim Watson

http://www.JimWatsonOttawa.ca

Little did we know that we would ignite an outpouring of interest when Councillors Rainer Bloess, Katherine Hobbs and I attended a meeting of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage on Tuesday, April 24, 2012. We were asked to testify on what we should be doing to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017.

It seems to me that we should find a way to celebrate great Canadian achievements. We should be able to display, for all to see, artefacts that mean something to the real people of our great country. I proposed the idea of a Canada House to hold our most treasured national memories in the former US Embassy in Ottawa. This is an iconic space directly opposite Parliament Hill that would be greatly enhanced as the treasure chest of our nation. And it has been sitting empty for 10 years. The possibilities are many: a replica of the Canadarm; Bryan Adams’ first guitar; Banting and Best’s chemistry set; Sydney Crosby’s game-winning stick from the Gold medal game at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics (or a reasonable FACSIMILE SINCE ) BET THE (OCKEY (ALL OF &AME HAS THE ORIGINAL for themselves). These are just a few ideas and we could find a thousand more in the bat of an eye. In addition to those above, other ideas I have mentioned are Celine Dion’s first Gold Record, or 4ERRY &OX S T SHIRT OR MAYBE EVEN *OSEPH "OMBARDIER S lRST snowmobile. People from across the country would love a glimpse of national treasures like these. I continue to receive a Tweets and emails from folks in Ottawa and beyond who have taken a few moments to offer their own suggestions. Everybody was taking a few moments to offer their own suggestions. Jane Osborne said, “We are totally behind you 100 percent. Love the idea we need it in Canada.

There has also been media interest. Ottawa Citizen columnist Joanne Chianello thinks the idea may be a hit – she wants to see a replica of the Galloping Gourmet’s kitchen! I’m too young to become a museum piece, let alone name, just yet! So send me your ideas for what should be included in Canada house by email to jim.watson@ottawa.ca or via Twitter @ JimWatsonOttawa and use hashtag #CanBucketList. I look FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE &EDERAL 'OVERNMENT TO HELP bring this beautiful building back to life in time for 2017.

single out one person who I thought couldn’t even afford enough chickens for feathers. Well, the riddle was solved for me one day and I didn’t have to do a thing about it other than accept an invitation from Gracie to spend the night at her farm on the next line. It wasn’t at all unusual for us at the Northcote school to be invited to stay at one another’s home for a night. I never liked to be away from my mother, not even for a night, but if the neighbour lived close enough and they had a horse and buggy just in case I had to come home through the night from homesickness, I was willing to go for the overnight visit. Gracie lived in a log house just like ours. She too, came from a big family, went to the same church we did and her brothers and sisters all went to the Northcote School. That day, along with my lunch and book bag, I carried to school a brown paper bag with my pajamas and clean underwear in it. You would never dream of going anywhere overnight without clean underwear. Gracie’s kitchen table was longer than ours and it needed to be in order to accommodate all the brothers and sisters. The table was amply laid and not a morsel was touched until Grace was said, after which there was the greatest commotion as each of Gracie’s brothers made a stab for a pork chop from a plate that

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories was stacked sky-high. Gracie’s mother slapped the brother closest to her, and her father did the same with the brother at his elbow. “Can’t you see we have company?â€? he roared. I looked at the table piled high with food and I decided then and there Gracie’s family wasn’t one of the poorest in the Northcote area. The whole family settled down to playing board games, whittling, looking through the Eaton’s catalogue and Gracie’s father, just like mine did every night, pulled up a chair to the cookstove, pulled down the oven door, propped up his feet and got into reading the Family Herald and Weekly Star. Gracie and I had a bed to ourselves. That probably meant that three of her sisters had to sleep together. When her mother rolled down the top quilt, and Gracie and I plopped into bed, I quickly learned what a straw mattress felt like! There under the annelette sheet, making sounds just as if we were playing in the hay loft in the barn, I came face to face with my very ďŹ rst straw mattress. I was sure I

wouldn’t shut an eye all night. I wondered if it was clean. How many horses or cows had been bedded down on it before it was brought into the house and packed into a ticking? But it didn’t smell like straw or hay. There were fresh sheets on the bed with that wonderful outdoor smell I was used to at home. The pillows were made of feathers, for which I said a silent prayer of thanks. When I was taken home the next day in the buggy, there were no signs that Gracie’s family was poor. Her father smoked a pipe just like mine did. And the horse was fat of rump, which Father always said was a sure sign of a well looked-after animal. And they had a telephone long before we had one. So why were they sleeping on straw mattresses? My sister Audrey said she was sure it was because Gracie’s mother was so busy having babies, she never did have enough time to pluck chickens, wash feathers and stuff mattresses. At that young age, it all made perfect sense to me.

oodness knows, I was used to sleeping on a feather mattress. That didn’t mean I went all over Northcote bragging about it. My sister Audrey said only poor people used feathers, because feathers were free. My little friend Joyce slept on a mattress that was tufted and about six inches thick. Pink with blue owers – what luxury! There were no feathers in Joyce’s mattress. If I complained to Mother about the differences in Joyce’s mattress and mine, she didn’t hesitate to tell me we were lucky to have feathers. She knew some farmers who didn’t raise enough chickens to get the ample supply of feathers needed to ďŹ ll a mattress. And they certainly couldn’t afford a felt mattress, like my friend Joyce slept on. What they used was straw. I couldn’t believe anyone in the entire Northcote area actually slept on straw. When I approached Audrey about it, she said Mother was right, there were indeed people, neighbours in fact, whose mattresses were stuffed with straw. It certainly wasn’t a subject you could easily bring up in the school yard, even though I was dying with curiosity. I found myself looking over the girls at the Northcote school, trying to ďŹ gure out just who was poor enough to sleep on straw, but was never able to

Three ingredients all you need for tasty spring salad

his week’s recipe is for a simple threeingredient salad that features a colourful, tasty combination of spinach, avocado and strawberries. Although it’s quick and convenient to use a bottled salad dressing, you may want to make one of the following dressings for the salad. Both are quick and easy to prepare. The Roquefort dressing can be made thick and chunky or smooth and creamy. The raspberry vinaigrette dressing is light and has a slightly sweet flavour. The recipes for the salad dressings may make more than what you will need for this salad. Store any leftover dressing in the fridge for up to one week. SPRINGTIME AVOCADO AND STRAWBERRY SALAD

Walk Friendly Ontario launched program and is live now to give communities time to assemble teams, plan and make improvements prior to the first intake of applications that will take place in 2013.

Walk Friendly Ontario is an initiative of Canada Walks, a department of Green Communities Canada,. R0011401346

EMC news - Canada Walks has launched Walk Friendly Ontario to recognize and encourage communities that take steps to make walking safe, convenient and attractive. Starting in 2013, designations will be awarded at the bronze, silver, gold, and platinum levels. Walk friendly communities are desirable places to live, work, play and do business because they are designed for people. Walk-friendly communities encourage a healthy, active lifestyle and are essential to successful downtown revitalization strategies because they encourage people to linger, stroll and return again and again. Communities that are walk friendly are inclusive, welcoming and accessible to all regardless of age, income level, or physical ability. This is important to the more than 30 per cent of Ontarians that do not drive. Substituting the everyday short trips we make by automobile with a walking trip can also reduce our carbon footprint and improve air quality. Reduced speed limits are another feature of a walk friendly community. To participate in the Walk Friendly Ontario program, communities can complete an assessment that measures progress on a range of factors including safe road crossings, sidewalk networks, street furniture, supportive policies, action plans and more. The website www.walkfriendly.ca can help communities prepare for the

Hudak holds town hall in Nepean Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Emma Jackson photo

Mother’s Day tea Orleans resident Dany Asselin, left, enjoyed a special Mother’s Day tea with her daughter, Evelyne Asselin, and her mother, Marie Veillett, at Billings Estate National Historic Site in Alta Vista on Sunday, May 13. The museum officially opened for the season on the beautifully sunny Mother’s Day, with high tea on the lawn, picnic lunches, games of croquet and cross-stitch crafts for the kids.

CHIP

EMC news - Tim Hudak, leader of the provincial progressive conservatives, met with the members of the Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce on May 11 to discuss plans to build a better Ontario. The town hall was held at the Centurion Conference Centre on Colonnade Road and was the sixth such town hall, according to longtime chamber member Gavin Leishman. Hudak said his party’s plan would rein in government spending and pay down the debt. He also said he plans to lower the cost of electricity and do more to entice students into careers in the skilled trades. “We have to do more to encourage people to do business in Ontario,” Hudak said. “We have to drain the swamp of red tape.” Hudak said the best way to reduce the cost of electricity is to do away with the feed in tariff programs. “We can get good, reliable energy locally from Quebec at three cents per kilowatt hour or pay 80 cents for solar or wind energy,” Hudak said. “Paying more for electricity just flunks good economic sense.”

One man at the town hall said there was a man in Orleans who was shoveling his neighbours’ driveways to pay for his utility bills. “He was in his seventies,” he said. “We have to get those costs under control.” Hudak said the government needs to get out of the way for companies to come into the province and create jobs. He added that utilities are some of the biggest costs of doing business and lowering those costs will go a long way towards providing incentive for investment in the province. Bill Price asked Hudak how he was going to get his message across to Ontarians and get a majority government after the next election. “There are good ideas and people who are already conservatives will be impressed,” he said. “But how do you plan to get people to change their vote?” Hudak said during the last election the conservatives did a good job of convincing people where the liberal government had gone wrong, but not a good enough job of showcasing their own ideas. “I was auditioning for the role of opposition leader, which I got,” he said. “Now I am auditioning for the role of premier.”

Pet Adoptions PET OF THE WEEK TYME

ID#A141902

ID#A141406

Chip is a neutered male, white and black Fox Terrier mix who is about five months old. He was brought to the shelter as a stray on April 3 but is now available for adoption. Chip loves to be the boss! He needs an experienced owner who will help him understand his role in the pack. He’s smart and fast and has a lot of potential to excel at obedience or agility training classes. He needs a home with teens and adults who won’t let him get away with mischievous behaviour. Chip’s adoption is conditional on mandatory obedience training. Proof of enrolment is necessary before the adoption can be finalized. Chip’s adoption is a “Foster-Me-First” because he is on medication for an upset stomach.

This neutered male, black Domestic Shorthair cat is just over two years old. He was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on March 20. Tyme loves to play with his human companions. His front paws are declawed, so he needs to be an indoor only feline. (The OHS recommends that all cats be kept indoors for their own safety.) Tyme got along well with humans of all ages in his foster home, but he’d rather not live with other animals – he prefers to have all the attention to himself. Tyme is a finicky eater and may need some T.L.C. in this department until he is comfortable in his new home.

For more information about these or other animals available for adoption, please call the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www.ottawahumane.ca.

Museums increase ‘connexion’ with new loyalty card Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - The Ottawa Museum Network has launched a new loyalty program it hopes will encourage more families to frequent its 10 community museums across the city. The Connexion Card was introduced Thursday, May 10, at Billings Estate National Historic Site in Alta Vista and promises free admission, discounted programming and access to exclusive events. The card applies to Billings Estate, Bytown Museum down-

town, Cumberland Heritage Village Museum, the Diefenbunker in Carp, Goulbourn Museum in Stittsville, Nepean Museum, Osgoode Township Museum, Pinhey’s Point Historic Site in Dunrobin, Vanier Museopark and Watson’s Mill in Manotick. For $70 per family or $50 per individual, card holders enjoy free admission for the year at the four museums that charge, and they can access exclusive and discounted programming at all 10 museums throughout the year.

Brahm Lewandowski, administrator at Billings Estate and Pinhey’s Point, said he hopes the card will attract patrons from a broader region. “We’re hoping that we will be able to get visitors who are coming from across the city. People who were spending more time with their community museum will now be encouraged to leave their community and visit other museums,� he said. It costs $15 for a family to visit Billings Estate, and can range in price for special adult

and children’s programs offered throughout the year. Bytown Museum also offers a $15 family rate, and Cumberland Heritage Village Museum offers an $18 family admission. At the Diefenbunker, a family pass costs $40. To visit these four museums alone would cost a family $85 plus tax – which means the family Connexion Card offers an automatic $15 in savings, project manager Megan Lafreniere said. The deal is not as sweet for individual passes, which cost $50 for the year.

One-time admission to the four museums would regularly cost $33 plus tax per adult, or $66 for a pair. However the savings could be made up in repeat visits to the museums and discounted ticket prices for special adult programs at all of the museums across the city, Lafreniere said. The card also gives access to exclusive events, such as a snowshoe hike at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site in the winter, a kids’ ghost camp at Watson’s Mill this summer or a paddle of the Rideau River at Billings

Estate. “(The museums) offer similar programming to the general public but this is at the cardholder’s rate. They get reduced prices on programming,� Lafreniere said. Not to mention a better chance of getting into programs that are often sold out, Lewandowski added. The goal is that each museum will host an exclusive event for cardholders throughout the year, each with a different theme. CONNEXION, see 29

Watson’s Mill went with a ghost camp because of its history with haunted happenings. “We have links with paranormal activity so that’s why we’re going that route,” said Melanie Parker at Watson’s Mill.
