EMC news – River Ward Coun. Maria McRae wants the Airport Parkway pedestrian bridge built as quickly as possible to provide residents with a safe passage to cross in the South Keys area. Construction crews began demolishing the incomplete pedestrian bridge after the work crew began experiencing problems with the concrete. Last month McRae sent an email to city councillors informing them that city staff and the contractor, Louis W. Bray Construction Ltd., agreed that the “most expedient solution” would be to tear down the existing main tower, which is a curved, A-frame support with a circle cut out to echo the city’s logo. McRae said the bridge delays have denied residents a piece of infrastructure that they should be using now. “It represents lack of a safe passage into a very busy transit hub, into a recreational area for walking and cycling and also denies people access to the shopping area,” said McRae. Though the city has not yet released an updated completion date for the project, McRae said the preliminary schedule presented by the contractor anticipates that rebuilding of the new main tower to its current stage will begin towards the end of May and take about 12 weeks. The Hunt Club Community Association said it has been left in the dark on the progress of the project since the city first announced it was going to tear down the main tower of the Airport Parkway pedestrian bridge last month. Association president, John Sankey said the association has been left guessing about the progress of the project. However, Coun. McRae said the city has been transparent about the contractor’s deficiencies with the bridge and has issued updates both to residents and the association.

Mayor looks to reduce seats at council City to consider changes to wards by end of this year Staff

EMC news – Reducing the number of city wards and creating a borough system will likely be on city council’s agenda later this year. Addressing his one outstanding campaign promise during an online live chat hosted by EMC reporter Laura Mueller on May 17, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson said he would like to see the size of council reduced before the next municipal election in 2014.

“For our city, compared to almost every other Canadian city, we have a higher number of elected officials. I would like to see tat [sic] reduced in time for the next election,” Watson wrote in the live chat that appears monthly on his website, jimwatsonottawa.ca. “I made a commitment to bring forward this term of council, and I hope to do that before the end of this year to seek public and council input,” he added. Watson proposed the borough system in August of 2010 during the municipal election campaign, saying it could help reduce the disconnect some Ottawans still feel more than a decade after amalgamation. While Watson has said he doesn’t think amalgamation was a bad idea, the process hasn’t been without challenges.

In 2010, he suggested reducing the number of councillors – and wards – from 23 to between 14 and 17. To boost representation, that was suggested to be supplemented by four boroughs with members that could have full jurisdiction over local matters for their area of the city. The idea would save money, Watson said during the election, and bring Ottawa’s elected representation in line with other cities. The issue will form part of the work of the governance renewal subcommittee, which so far has looked at a lobbyist registry for the city. A look into the number and structure of the city’s citizen advisory committees is also underway. See MAYOR on page 2

3 Million More Home Care Hours Last week, our government announced that we will be adding three million more hours of care by Personal Support Workers (PSWs) over the next three years, including an estimated one million more hours this year. This increase in support workers will help 90,000 more seniors get the care they need to live comfortably in their own homes. This investment is part of our 2012 Budget commitment to increase funding for home and community care.

Mayor floats idea of museum move to LeBreton Continued from front

Also during the May 17 chat, Watson suggested LeBreton Flats might be a good location for a new science and technology museum. The current Canada Science and Technology Museum on St. Laurent Boulevard was already in the news last week for raising the age of admission without parents for a sexuality exhibit geared towards teens. Watson was responding to

a question about rumours of a new casino coming to LeBreton Flats following the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s call for proposals for a new gambling facility in Ottawa. During the chat, Watson said LeBreton Flats is an unlikely candidate for a casino because the land is owned by the National Capital Commission, which already has plans to build housing there. But there is also a plan to include a “nationally signiďŹ -

cant building� at LeBraton Flats, and Watson suggested that a revitalized science and technology museum would be at the top of his list. “I personally would love to see a new science and technology museum move from a former bread factory on St. Laurent to a new site at LeBreton Flats,� Watson wrote. “It would compliment the spectacular war museum and help bring more tourists to our city.� Canada’s capital is

the best spot for such a national museum, and the large high-tech sector in Ottawa could help shoulder some of the costs to build the new museum, Watson said.

Mayor Jim Watson would like to see the Canada Science and Technology Museum move to LeBreton Flats from St. Laurent Boulevard. File

The pedestrian bridge over the Airport Parkway should have already spanned the road, allowing pedestrian and cyclist access to either side. However construction has been delayed, and the bridge won’t open in June as earlier planned.

Nyoman Sumerta displays a carving he completed. Each piece he works on is unique.

Local carver promotes Timelines unknown for future pedestrian bridge spiritually based design Continued from front

eddie.rwema@metroland.com

“For me to sit and watch, not only the evolution of him as a carver but the evolution of each carving, it’s just mind blowing that he can have such a talent.” Sumerta has sold his artwork to clients from all over the world, including an original design for the Royal Ontario Museum’s traveling exhibition of South Asian art, “Ornamenting the Ordinary”. Even with few breakthroughs, carving in Canada has not been an easy ride for Sumerta. “It is very hard carving here especially when you have to do all your work from inside the house,” he said. In Bali, people work from outside, he said. Like all newcomers he suffered culture shock when he arrived in Canada and one thing that he misses most is the village feel of a community. “It doesn’t matter what time of the year it is, you can walk down the street here and not see anybody. This really shocked me the first time I arrived here,” he said “I was asking myself where people are. There is no one around,” he said. “It is a totally different feeling.” Sumerta can be contacted through www.sumerta.com or at sumertadesigns@gmail. com.

“To that extent I issued a letter that was mailed to 13,848 residents in our community with an update,” said McRae. In her letter, McRae said she is committed to ensure that the connection is built in a safe and timely fashion. “If anything changes we’ll keep updating the community as we have done for years.” The bridge was supposed to be open for pedestrians and cyclists to travel from Cahill Drive West and the South Keys plaza last fall, with final landscaping touches planned for this spring. City spokeswoman Jocelyne Turner said the city would be providing timelines of the project once the demolition is complete. “At this time we are still waiting for final timelines from the contract,” said Turner.

EMC news – Nyoman Sumerta doesn’t like to sit around doing nothing. The 38-year-old Hunt Club resident, moved to Canada from the small Indonesian island of Bali, six years ago. As a newcomer in the country, Sumerta has struggled to find a job without luck – but he now says that is no longer a problem. “Everywhere I go, I make sure I take my carving tools with me. At least they make busy and with them I can make money,” said Sumerta. Raised in an artistic woodcarving community in the centre of Bali Island, from a young age Sumerta learned how to carve and design creative works in many types of wood. “I started woodcarving when I was 11 years old. It is part of our tradition and we learn it from our elders,” he said. Now, he has turned his carvings into spirituallybased designs and he is likely to be the only Balinese carver actively designing and practicing in Canada. Sumerta can turn wood into pieces that are handcarved and inspired by Balinese culture, nature, spiritual images, and even native Canadian designs. For the past few years he

has lived in Canada, Sumerta has recycled pieces of wood from old furnishings and people’s “junk” and turned it into something artistic. “He can do some great refurbishes to old pieces,” Sumerta’s wife Julie said. “Each piece he does is unique and one-of-a-kind, using the same type of hand tools from Bali that he was trained on 30 years ago.” Julie met her husband in Bali, when she worked in Indonesia as a yoga teacher. “If there is anybody there with unwanted wood, he can really make a good use of it,” Julie added. Sumerta takes his inspiration from yoga, Balinese Hinduism and classical Indian motifs. He currently works with all sorts of woods and, in many cases, it’s reclaimed. “We get reclaimed wood from people all the time, we get the wood from nature and we buy it when we have to,” said Sumerta. He said he never works in exotic endangered woods unless the wood is reclaimed. “We try to be as sustainable in that regard as we can.” Sumerta said he can take an old table top or a piece of wood that’s been sitting in the back of someone’s garage and make something beautiful out of it, said Julie. “Seeing him work is hard to explain,” she said.

Commenting on the demolition, Sankey said his community was upset by the delay of the project, but at the same time relieved because the concrete was far too badly damaged. “We are very relieved that the company decided that they wouldn’t fight that decision but instead build it properly,” he said. When finished, the approximately $5 million pedestrian bridge will be a state-of-the-art piece of architecture, designed in part to provide a ‘wow factor’ for visitors entering the city from the Ottawa International Airport. During his monthly live chat moderated by the EMC, Mayor Jim Watson said most of the bridge was already down when he last passed by it. “It will be rebuilt and there will be no extra cost to taxpayers - it will be handled by the contractor.”

CHEO CEO Alex Munter named co-chair of Ontario panel on childhood obesity when all sectors work together. Reducing childhood obesity rates is one of the most important health concerns of our time. I look forward to working with this talented panel to develop ways Ontario can change the trajectory on this issue too,” said Munter. Munter will co-chair with Kelly Murumets, CEO of ParticipACTION. They will lead a distinguished group of scientific, clinical, policy and business experts. The panel will report to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care in December 2012. CHEO is home to interna-

tionally-recognized researchers in the field of childhood obesity. Their research has helped shape clinical programs at CHEO and beyond.

In recent years, CHEO has been seeing more and more children and youth who are obese, and seeing conditions and related health issues that are more and more complex and serious. Last year, CHEO opened the Centre for Healthy and Active Living (CHAL), an assessment and treatment center for kids with complex severe obesity. Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi attended the opening of the center, and is very sup-

portive of the program. “Childhood obesity has becomes a crisis, with no signs of slowing down,” said Yasir Naqvi, MPP, Ottawa Centre. “For a healthy community, it is important that we intervene now to prevent further health complications later in life.” The CHEO Research Institute’s Healthy Active Living and Obesity Research Group (HALO) works to provide leadership and research for the prevention, management and treatment of obesity in children and youth. Since its establishment, HALO has produced 197 peer-reviewed publications.

Ottawa scores winning bid to host FIFA Women’s World Cup I am pleased to advise that FIFA has announced that Ottawa has been selected as one of the Canadian cities to host the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2015, the world’s premier women’s sporting event. With Ottawa being the Official Host City for the FIFA Women’s World Cup, we will have the opportunity to welcome the athletes, spectators and media from across the country and around the world. It is an opportunity to showcase our beautiful capital city to the world while generating significant investment in our local economy. The World Cup event, which will be held at Lansdowne Park, is expected to generate approximately $12 million to the City of Ottawa and attract more than 20,000 visitors. The City of Ottawa has committed to providing $400,000 of in-kind funding through policing, paramedic and transit services. Hosting events like this is directly related to the City’s newly focused economic development strategy.

The off leash dog area is located on Earl Armstrong Road beside Fire Station 37. The off leash area is approximately 50m wide and 65m deep, which is the extent of the City’s ownership on the property. I am also forming a new community K9 Committee. The community-led committee will be responsible for any issues that may arise at the off leash dog area and help oversee its overall operations. If you are interested in joining this community committee, please contact my office. Civic Events Funding The City of Ottawa has announced their allocations for 2012 Civic Events Funding. The program is available to local not-for-profit community organizations with a mandate to provide civic events that have free admission, foster civic pride, develop community cohesion and celebrate a civic/statutory holiday in Ontario. I am pleased to announce that the Findlay Creek Community Association and Ottawa Rotary Home have both received a grant to put towards a community event. Time for Summer Recreation programs I encourage residents to take advantage of the many programs the City of Ottawa has to offer in the 2012 Summer Recreation eGuide. From water fun, sports, arts and specialty day camps there are a variety of classes that will keep the kids active, creative and healthy. With camps across the city, children of all ages have a variety of programs to choose from. Please browse the Recreation eGuide for new recreation and culture experiences at ottawa.ca/recreationguide.

Neighbourhood watch reducing break-ins Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – There has been a significant reduction in home break-ins and home burglaries in Ottawa, thanks to the neighbourhood watch program, say Ottawa police. While launching the Shearwater Court neighbourhood watch program on May 16, deputy police chief Ralph Erfle said they consider the program one of one of the most important crime prevention tools. “You are having the impact on the reduction f break-ins and let’s keep the momentum going,” Erfle told residents. Shearwater Court is a neighbourhood home to 74 families with more than 225 residents who have identified a need to bring a neighbourhood watch into their community. The program provides a sense of security for individuals or families who leave their homes for any length of time. “The program will help to co-ordinate the efforts of the police service and the community in tracking down criminals,” said Linda Dubois, president of the Shearwater Court Tenants Association. “Few people are in a position to protect their homes and property all the time.” Dubois said the initiative aims to get residents involved in discouraging and preventing

dedicated to increasing community awareness and recognition of policing services and striking partnership between police and the community. This year’s theme is ‘Leading the way to a safer tomorrow’. Erfle added that the ultimate success of neighbourhood

watch depends on co-operation between area residents and police and more importantly between residents themselves. “We have been very fortunate that the volume of breakins keep going down year by year, thanks to neighbourhood watch programs,” he said. Dubois hopes the program

with make their community less inviting as a target for thieves and any other criminal activities. “When neighbours get together and cooperate with police services - crime can be reduced,” said Dubois. “Through the active participation of citizens in crime

prevention, the opportunity for crime to occur is reduced.” In the past there have been break-ins in the areas of south Ottawa. Suspects used recycle bins and chairs to access windows. In most cases, the windows were either unlocked or the suspects force them open.

The downside of attachment parenting A

ttachment parenting has become a dirty word these

days. But should it be? Most parents probably practice some form of this parenting philosophy, which includes responding to a baby’s cries, holding your baby without fear of coddling and practicing positive discipline. Why all the controversy? For one thing, a recent Time magazine cover, showing a women breastfeeding her three-year-old, has exposed some of the deeper elements of a parenting philosophy that also recommends extended breastfeeding, babywearing and bed-sharing. The cover, released on the heels of a new book by French feminist Elisabeth Badinter, seems to support Badinter’s central argument that modern women feel pressured into practising traditional mothering practices that tie them to the home, at the expense of their careers and the development of their identities outside of all-consuming motherhood. Sounds pretty controversial. But how much truth lies behind the controversy? To give credit where it’s due, Dr. William Sears, one of North America’s predominant experts on attachment parenting, does not recommend his parenting tools to be used as a Bible. In The Attachment Parenting Book, Sears writes that “attachment parenting is an approach to raising children rather than a strict set of rules.� The overarching goal of the tools, writes Sears, is “opening your mind and heart to the individual needs of your baby and letting your knowledge of your child be your guide to making on-thespot decisions about what works best for both of you.� It doesn’t sound so bad, right? Where Sears starts to get controversial is in his

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse presentation of questionable science. Despite acknowledging that attachment parenting tools such as baby-wearing and bed-sharing may not be the best thing for all parents all of the time, Sears takes every opportunity throughout his book to point out the supposed beneďŹ ts of these tools, much of them presented in the negative. “Infant animals separated from their mothers showed imbalances in the autonomic nervous system ... had an abnormal heartbeat, and showed disturbances in sleep patterns,â€? he writes. He concludes that separation from mothers causes chronic stress, and increases the likelihood that children will be withdrawn, depressed and experience abnormal heart growth. Although these supposed “scientiďŹ câ€? facts are actually quite sketchy, they serve to induce fear and guilt to those who are unable or unwilling to practise every element of attachment parenting . But, you may think, so what? We live in a free society. We can practice whatever form of parenting we want. A quick glance at the websites of many pre-natal classes offered in Ottawa shows that even our local institutions are perpetuating the myths of all-or-nothing attachment parenting. It’s one thing to provide links to breastfeeding supports. It’s another thing entirely to link to sites that condemn bottle-feeding and offer courses called “the beneďŹ ts of baby-wearing and co-sleeping,â€? without also offering up alternative methods, such as “stroller-sizing and

sleep-training.â€? Further exacerbating the situation for nervous, ďŹ rsttime parents is that many international institutions, such as the World Health Organization, are now recommending women breastfeed children until two years of age. Underlying these policies is an attempt to protect women in developing countries, where lack of access to clean water and an abundant supply of food make extended breastfeeding the safest option. Although this guideline is largely irrelevant in the developed world, where men and women have access to good nutrition, along with lifestyles that require them to work and live independently, it offers another institutionalized opportunity – as Badinter argues – to pressure mothers back into the domestic sphere. “Why wouldn’t people wear their babies and breastfeed two-year-olds?â€? commented one friend on Facebook. Last time I checked, maternal and child health records in many developing countries were appalling. Besides, none of us live in mud huts, nor in villages with other women to support us in the task of raising our children. We have education that we’d like to use and the majority of us have a need and desire to balance motherhood with other desires and responsibilities. So perhaps it’s time to take Sears and the whole attachment parenting thing at face value, scrap the sketchy science and fear-mongering, and just do what feels best for us and our kids.

The Riverside United Church which is currently used by two congregations is badly in need of a new roof. The church plans to organize several fundraisers to raise $67,000 to get a new roof.

Fundraiser to fix church roof Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroalnd.com

EMC news - Leaders at the Riverside United Church have begun raising money to repair the building’s old roof. The repair alone is estimated to cost $67,000 that will be split between the two congregations that use the church facility. For 42 years the United church has shared the roof with the Church of the Resurrection. The ďŹ rst of their many fundraisers is a concert to be held on June 23 from 7 p.m. “We are at 42 years in partnership with the Church of the Resurrection, which is amazing. We are one of the ďŹ rst ones in Canada to have a partnership like this,â€? said Wendy Graham, chair of council at Riverside United church. Blues and gospel singer Rev. Ernie Cox will headline the charity concert. He started out playing in bars and coffee houses — part of Sneezy Waters’ band in the early 1970s. Cox is a professional entertainer, who began his career as a musician and then went on to become a Baptist minister. Until recently, he was a minister at the Fourth Avenue Baptist Church.

“We decided to organize this concert after we got some bad news about our roof not long ago that it needs repair,â€? said Kim Allen-McGill, co-ordinator of the fundraiser. Cox will be performing with a few other acts that include Don Cumming and the London Trio Plus The church has often organized fundraisers but this is the ďŹ rst time they have organized one of this magnitude. This musical fundraiser is their ďŹ rst attempt to try something different. “It is a little bit of a different adventure. It will be a spectacular evening and everyone is welcome,â€? said Allen-McGill. “We are looking at selling at least 200 tickets.â€? Meanwhile plans are underway to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the church slated in early November. “It is a great feeling to celebrate 50 years,â€? said Graham. She said it will be a moment of celebrating years of worship, fellowship and outreach. Ticket price will be $20 for general admission. For more information contact Kimberly at 613-733-9882.

A fitting memorial for our lost sons and daughters

T

he taboo against talking about youth suicide is starting to break. After much debate the Old Ottawa East Community Association has agreed to create a memorial recongnizing mental health issues, in memory of 18-year-old Nadia Kajouji, the Carleton University student who took her own life in April of 2008. The community association agreed to replace a makeshift memorial, created by Nadia’s family, with something more

permanent to offer support to others who struggle with mental health issues that may lead to suicide. The idea sparked much debate among members of the community association. Some worried the site would attract or even encourage suicidal people. Unfortunately out of sight does not necessarily mean out of mind. In the past, far too many of us have remained fearfully quiet in the wake of the death of one of our sons or daughters.

Fears that took many forms, but boiled down to the same argument: if we talk about youth suicide it only serves to encourage others. The cracks in this tired and old argument started to show following the deaths of teens Daron Richardson, 14, in 2010 and Jamie Hubley, 15, in 2011. The parents of Daron and Jamie talked openly about their children’s struggle with mental health issues, a problem that resonated with people across Canada. More important, it sparked

discussion about what has become a national epidemic. One in five children suffer a mental health problem — but only a third of those get the help they need, according to the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa. Every one of us either know or have come into contact with a child who has mental health issues. This discussion has encouraged positive change. It has sparked fundraisers and events raising awareness about youth mental health is-

sues across Ottawa this summer, including the city’s Dragon Boat festival in June. The Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa has used money from recent fundraisers and donations to hire four new youth and family counsellors serving at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre and schools among Ottawa’s four English and French school boards. On a national level, a private member’s bill has proposed creating a national suicide prevention strategy.

Canada is the only G8 nation without a national suicide prevention strategy. This is an example how healthy discussion about a national problem can translate into a prescriptive policy change. These positive changes have become organic memorials to the memories of Nadia, Daron, Jamie — for all our sons and daughters who lost their lives battling mental health issues. A memorial more fitting than any statue or bench we could erect in their memory.

Rejoicing in little yellow flowers CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

L

ittle kids understand dandelions. Look at the pretty flower, they say. Look, Mommy, I picked a pretty flower for you. Grownups with lawns don’t understand dandelions. They have lost the ability to appreciate a pretty yellow flower and they want green grass instead. Grownups don’t understand how to get rid of dandelions, except by using chemicals which are outlawed in most places. So dandelions thrive, which is great for children and not so great for grownups with lawns. Women understand dandelion strategy. They let it be known that there’s a device that picks dandelions without the picker having to stoop. Men love devices and bring one home. Women say they can’t understand how the device works. Men, showing off, say, here, let me do it. Next thing you know, men are using the dandelion device. But the experts, and there are millions of them, take a dim long-run view of the dandelion device and all other cures. They say that no strategy outside of paving the lawn works against dandelions. So here’s a radical idea. Maybe we should just come to terms with them. Let dandelions be dandelions. Rejoice in yellow flowers all over the lawn. Ancient civilizations survived without green lawns and so can we. We just have to get used to it. Croquet will be a problem, for example. Golf courses might disappear, which is too bad, although it would save millions of dollars in green fees and new

wedges. True, the issue of mowing the lawn will suddenly become complicated. For a time it will seem nicer: no pushing the lawnmower around. But then things other than dandelions will pop up and we might want to cut them, but we can’t do so without cutting the dandelions. The risk then is that the dandelions will become overwhelmed by, among other things, grass. Another problem is that dandelion season does not last forever. Modern man being what he is, he will undoubtedly attempt to extend the dandelion season, by artificial means if necessary. There will be new dandelion-stimulating chemicals, demands to ban them and that that old battle beginning again. No one said that dandelions would be a bed of roses. But don’t forget the positives, one of them being the glory of all that yellow, the other being not having to pick all that yellow. Traditionalists will take a dim view of the new pro-dandelion approach. They will do irrational things, such as writing letters to the editor and running for city council. But there are reasons for even them to be encouraged. Because it is always possible that when we want dandelions to grow, they won’t. This follows an age-old principle of gardening, which can be stated as follows: the harder you try to make a particular plant grow, the greater the likelihood of an entirely different plant growing in its place. In other words, it is possible that the best way to get rid of dandelions is by trying to grow them. Dandelions are like that. They know when they are not wanted. They take pride in popping up the morning after the proud male has picked the lawn clean with the dandelion device. Who is to say that they will not do the reverse — a disappearing act at a precisely the moment when we want them to appear? If that theory holds true, we are faced with the grim possibility that the lawn is here to stay, and that will have to mow it again.

Main library on the renovation list laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - For the first time ever, the crumbling Main library branch is on the list for fixing up. It doesn’t mean the Ottawa Public Library has completely given up on finding a new home for the beleaguered branch, the library’s chief executive and board chairwoman say, but it acknowledges the fact that the branch can’t continue without some help. “This puts it front and center,” said Jan Harder, library board chairwoman and councillor for Barrhaven Ward. She was quick to add that a new Main branch is not Ottawa Public Library’s strategic plan. “Normally, what we do is separate Main and leave it all by itself, but since we are in not in a position to be building a brand new library, it has to be included,” Harder said.

“It’s still operating … it needs to be taken care of,” said Danielle McDonald, the new head of the library. “As far as I’m concerned, while we have it and while it’s still here, it needs to be looked at as a branch. Lots of people visit that branch and it is tired looking. It needs to be addressed.” The report, which the library board received on May 14, doesn’t identify what renovations will be undertaken at the Main branch or how much the city plans to spend there. It simply puts Main to the top of the list for renovations when money becomes available. “It is our biggest fixer-upper for sure,” Harder said. A condition report for the branch will come to the library board next month. That report was requested in 2011 to examine the building’s remaining lifespan, the potential for expansion or other uses and renovation options and costs.

By all accounts, it doesn’t look good. Harder said one of the library’s walls has pulled away from the floor and a structural engineer must be consulted before a stack of books can be moved. “We’re going to have to decide what’s in the best interests of the library. To invest – what can we do?” Harder said. The branch was built in 1971, opened in 1974 and received its last significant modification in 2004. Close to 3,000 people pass

“We’re going to have to decide what’s in the best interests of the library.” JAN HARDER

The Old Ottawa East Community Association voted to support a financial contribution to erect a memorial acknowledging mental health issues at the Rideau River site where Nadia Kajouji’s body was found in 2008.

Memorial backed by community association Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A contentious proposal to create a mentalhealth memorial on the site where Nadia Kajouji’s body was discovered along the Rideau River garnered the support of the Old Ottawa East Community Association at a meeting on May 7. The proposal to mark the spot at Clegg’s Landing where the body of the 18year-old Carleton University student was found on April 20, 2008 after she took her own life was met with some opposition at an initial meeting on March 13. Kajouji’s well-publicized disappearance was followed by the discovery she had taken her own life at the urging of a Minnesota nurse whom she chatted with online. He was found guilty of aiding her suicide last year. The circumstance is an opportunity to create a positive response to a unique situation, said Catherine Pacella, a community association board member who is now leading the memorial initiative, adding that it could be an opportunity to raise awareness and create support for those affected by mental health issues. It was suggested that the memorial might gain more community support if it was a simple marker featuring Kajouji’s name and the dates of her birth and death, but some community association members felt that would be a missed opportunity.

“For me, the important thing is the recognition of that story.� STEPHEN POPE

“For me, the important thing is the recognition of that story,� said board member Stephen Pope. “Initially, it was a strong statement on mental health,� he said, adding that he was becoming less interested in the project as talk strayed from that mission. There was still vocal opposition to the idea before it was approved by the community association’s board on May 7. Jim Strang, a resident of King’s Landing, said he was “very much against� spending public or community association money on any kind of memorial. “If it’s about grieving, that can be done in their own home, church or even under a tree,� Strang said, adding that he would rather see community association funds spent on something “more lively for children.� Board member Ron Rose felt the community association should not spend its money on the memorial, but that individuals interested in such as project could contribute their own funds. Resident Heather Jarrett was also opposed to the idea of a suicide or mentalhealth memorial and said that neighbours have told her “it

feels like the flavour of the month.� Instead, Jarrett said she would prefer a rest and contemplation space that is “life affirming.� In the end, the community association’s board did settle on supporting a rest and contemplative area, but one that recognizes mental health issues. The financial contribution was approved in a 5-4 vote on May 7. Jarrett also expressed worry that the spot could become a space sought out by people intent on “copy-cat� suicides. Community association president John Dance said the police department in Aberdeen, Wash. said there have been no suicides at a high-profile memorial to rocker Kurt Cobain, who took his own life. The details of the permanent memorial haven’t been ironed out, but it could take the form of a seating boulder with a plaque or a memorial bench, which could cost between $2,500 and $5,000. The community association would contribute part of the cost. The spot is currently marked by a more makeshift memorial bench with items set up by Kajouji’s family. Kajouji’s mother, Deborah Chevalier, didn’t respond to requests for comment before EMC’s deadline. Old Ottawa East resident Claire McMenemy initially proposed the permanent memorial, but her family will be moving away from Ottawa soon, so she passed the project over to Pacella.

The Airport Authority is about to embark on phase II of a three-part project to rehabilitate all active runways at the Ottawa International Airport. In 2011, the shortest runway, 04/22, which caters to small aircraft, itinerant and training ights, was modiďŹ ed and resurfaced. Beginning June 1st, the airport’s east-west runway, 07/25, will be the focus of our attention. Runway 07/25 reconstruction involves the following elements: s 2EMOVAL OF THE SURFACE LAYER OF ASPHALT s 2EPLACEMENT OF RUNWAY LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL WIRES s #ONSTRUCTION OF A 2UNWAY %ND 3AFETY !REA 2%3! AT BOTH ENDS s 2EPLACEMENT OF .!6 #!.!$! S )NSTRUMENT ,ANDING 3YSTEM ),3 AND s 2EGRADING AND REPAVING Because of the complexity of the project, the runway will be closed for the duration of the reconstruction, which is expected to last until early September. Closure means that north-south runway 14/32 will be used for all commercial trafďŹ c. It also means a temporary reprieve of aircraft noise for communities in the east and west, and a temporary increase in noise for communities to the north and south of the airport. We are contacting you about this particular project because you may receive calls from constituents who are unhappy with the temporary change in ight patterns. We will be posting periodic updates on our website WWW OTTAWA AIRPORT CA AND INVITE YOU TO DIRECT CALLERS ACCORDINGLY 0LEASE BE ASSURED THAT WE ARE WORKING with our construction partners to keep the project to a very tight schedule, and to mitigate any further impact on the community. I’m sure you can understand the importance of a project such as this to the airport but also to the community as we rebuild for increased safety. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated, and I invite you to contact me should you require any further information or clariďŹ cation on the foregoing. Sincerely, Paul Benoit Public Open House: June 5, 2012 - Albion Road and Johnston Road Intersection ModiďŹ cations. I am happy to let you know that I secured funding in the 2012 Capital Budget for roadway modiďŹ cations to improve the trafďŹ c ow at the intersection of Albion Road and Johnston Road. City staff has developed four design options for the intersection, each of which could reduce trafďŹ c delays currently experienced at the intersection. The options proposed by City staff include both a trafďŹ c signal and various roundabout conďŹ gurations. I would like to invite you to attend a Public Open House to review the proposed design options for the intersection and provide comments on your preferred design. The meeting will take place on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Greenboro Pavilion, 14 Tapiola Crescent. A presentation by City staff will begin at 7:45 p.m. City staff and the consulting team will be available to discuss the project and answer your questions. Your feedback is an important part of the consultation process.

Youth in Transition program connects the dots for high risk youth

Dalton McGuinty, MPP Ottawa South

Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news – The Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa has introduced a new program aiming to help its most at risk clients. Youth in Transition, a program that started up in January and run jointly with the Canadian Mental Health Association, matches high-risk clients – youth ages 16 to 24 – with a case worker who can help them navigate the network of services available citywide. “We weren’t able to support youth in the same capacity we are now,” said Dan Sabourin, director of community and housing services at the youth services bureau. Often, getting access to the proper mental health services could take “several years and a three inch file” Sabourin said. Youth in the bureau’s streetinvolved programs with mental health issues have issues with housing, and many with addictions and legal troubles. Trying to deal with the appropriate agencies can quickly weave into a messy web of phone calls and wait lists, appointments and professionals. Not to mention that many of the youth in the program have never been formally diagnosed with a mental-health issue because they haven’t seen a family doctor in years. When the youth services bureau took a poll of the youth living in their shelters and housing, they found 45 per cent reported having been diagnosed, or showing symptoms of mental health problems. Eva’s Initiative, based out of Toronto, recently reported

THREE MILLION MORE HOME CARE HOURS Last week, our government announced that we will be adding three million more hours of care by Personal Support Workers (PSWs) over the next three years, including an estimated one million more hours this year. This investment is part of our 2012 Budget commitment to increase funding for home and community care by four per cent over the next three years — an additional $526 million annually by 2014-15. The need for PSWs in our province is increasing — the aging population will continue to experience increased incidence of chronic disease and complex conditions that may be managed through home care and in long-term care homes. This increase in home workers will help 90,000 more seniors get the care they need to live comfortably in their own homes. Having the support of PSWs enables seniors, people with physical disabilities and those with complex needs to live independently at home — rather than in a hospital or longterm care home. Helping seniors stay at home longer benefits the entire health care system by freeing up hospital beds for those who need acute care, reducing pressure on emergency rooms and saving money.

Community and housing services director Dan Sabourin and case worker Shawn Perrault at the downtown location of the Youth Services Bureau. Perrrault started with the Youth Services Bureau in January as part of the new Youth in Transition program for high risk, street-involved youth. 54 per cent of those polled had mental health issues – and 84 per cent didn’t have the proper support available. With the Youth in Transition program, 20 Ottawa youth are now set up with a case worker who meets with them at least twice a week. With four workers who started in January, the program will be capped at about 45 clients. “I’m probably the first professional adult they’ve trusted,” said Sean Perrault, who is one of the four workers. “These are the most marginal-

ized youth we see, and we’re able to break down those walls.” Perrault works to untangle the web of agencies and appropriate services and make sure that the youth are referred to the proper people, while also providing counseling. “They feel that they’re taken care of,” said Sabourin. “Before, we would have just dealt with crisis management. There was so much demand on the system; workers were just doing their best to manage.”

Many of the youth aren’t in a typical school system with guidance counselors or professionals to make the often-needed referrals to access help. That’s why the Youth in Transition program can be accessed through self-referral of youth coming to the drop-in clinic. A client coming to the centre for lunch, to use the computers, laundry facilities or other services would just have to wander a few feet to find a staff member who could help them refer themselves into the program. The transition from a youth under 18 to a legal adult can often wreak havoc on clients who are already in the system, which is why the program serves youth up to 24. Turning 18 can often start the waitlist process all over to gain access to appropriate services. “That year on the wait list can have huge impacts,” Sabourin said. While waiting, the case workers are staying up to date and making sure they still having counseling and accessing groups. Having a caseworker dedicated to co-ordinated, longterm care has already made a difference in many of the youth already in the program. Perrault proudly reflected on one of his clients, who entered a detox program and has stayed sober since. Sabourin mentioned another who was able to finish high school and get their diploma with the help of the case worker. “We’re inspiring hopes and helping these young people develop into proper adults,” said Perrault.

We are also creating a PSW registry to better recognize the work they do while helping to better meet the needs of the people they care for. Increasing PSW hours ensures access to the right care, at the right time, and in the right place, and is part of our government’s Action Plan for Health Care.

Please feel free to contact me at my community office if there are any provincial issues I can assist you with. My staff and I will do our best to help.

‘Win in life,’ Olympic champion tells high school students Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC news - Elizabeth Manley proudly displayed her silver medal for figure skating to hundreds of St. Pius X High School students in the school’s cafeteria on May 15. But the medal, won during the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, means more to her than a win for Canada – for her, it’s a win in life. “This is my medal for life. I was exactly where you are today. I chose the right path and you can too,” Manley told the crowd of high school students. Building on the school’s recent Mental Health Awareness Week, the school invited Manley along with former superintendent Mike Bain, now the chairman of the Youth Services Bureau. Bain had the entire cafeteria on their feet when he asked those to stand who have dealt with mental health issues before and introduced Manley, who told of her struggles with mental health issues. With brothers who all played hockey, Manley grew up on the ice and attended Woodroffe High School as a teenager. “School was very difficult time for me,” she said, adding her parents got divorced when she was in Grade 9 and her mother struggled to make ends meet. “We struggled and had no money and to keep me in (figure skating), we had to give up a lot,” Manley said. “I didn’t have a lot of clothes, no makeup, just so we could pay a skating bill.”

Kristy Strauss

Olympic champion Elizabeth Manley speaks to St. Pius X High School on May 15 about her personal struggles with mental health. She showed students the silver medal she won at the 1988 Olympics held in Calgary, saying it symbolizes her win at life. She also said what a tough time she had making friends since her schedule consisted of practicing skating, training and going to school during the morning. “I had no friends, no social life, no phones and computers. No connection to the real world,” Manley said. “I lived in a rink.”

When Skate Canada called and said they were sending Manley to the United States, she packed up her life and headed to Lake Placid. There she lived in the attic of a boarding house, where her depression continued. “I wanted to just disappear,” she said. “I unpacked and sat there the

whole night and cried, and thought, what’s happening to me?” She told the crowd of teens how her new training coach would tell her she looked fat, and she stopped eating to try and lose weight. But Manley said she kept gaining weight and even started losing her hair.

She knew something was wrong, and called her mom. “We found four bald spots in the back of my head the size of grapefruits,” Manley said. “We knew there was a problem.” She packed up, came back to Ottawa and after visiting numerous doctors she was diagnosed with clinical depression and a nervous breakdown – a diagnoses that was unimaginable at the time. “This was in the 1980s, where the term mental health you just didn’t bring up,” Manley said. “You didn’t want to hear the word.” When she began talking to a psychologist, she said she jumped at the chance to be helped. “I easily could’ve taken my life, or harmed myself, but I grasped the opportunity to get help,” Manley said. Even though she got help, Manley said she still faced critics in the weeks leading up to the Calgary Olympics and almost didn’t compete. But then, one day while she was practicing, the Canadian Olympic hockey team came to watch her skate, and didn’t say a word to each other. When she finished, the hockey coach approached her and said something that she couldn’t believe. “He said, ‘Our hockey team has their toughest game tonight and I needed my team to watch a real champion train,’ ” Manley said. “ ‘I needed them to be motivated by a real champion, so thank you for doing that.’ “We have a lot of hockey, football players, and some figure skaters here today,” she told the students. “Don’t let anybody ever tell you that you can’t do it. Win in life.”

Senator and former Ottawa police chief Vern White, left, passes the ceremonial Tipp Staff to new Chief Charles Bordeleau on May 14 at the Shenkman Arts Centre during the official change of command ceremony.

Police chief receives colours Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - New police Chief Charles Bordeleau got the pomp and circumstance of his official change of command ceremony at the Shenkman Arts Centre on May 14. The ceremony was held later than usual, partially because of the availability of Senator Vern White. Organizers also wanted to hold the event during police week to celebrate policing, Bordeleau said. He had already had his official swearing in ceremony on March 5, but received the formal Tipp Staff at the change-of-command. The Tipp Staff is a replica of the

original, presented in 1863 to the first police chief, Robert Ross. Several former police chiefs were in attendance. The ceremony also included an official presentation of the Ottawa police colours. “It’s an honour for me to lead this police staff now into the future,” Bordeleau said. “Every day to wake up and to be the chief of police for the nation’s capital is such a huge honour.” The formal inspection by the new chief included officers, civilians, volunteers and auxiliary officers. He said his priorities are guns and gangs, domestic violence and traffic enforcement. He indicated he also wants

to encourage officers to continue work in schools educating students and parents about gang activity recognition. Bordeleau flagged the contiued creativity by officers conducting traffic enforcement, such as those who recently posed as homeless people to catch distracted drivers. “The chief of police is one of the most important jobs in the city,” said Mayor Jim Watson, who was joined by Coun. Eli El-Chantiry. White offered a formal address, reflecting briefly on his 31 years of service where he worked in 16 communities. “I wish Chuck all of the luck he’ll need some nights,” White said. “I think he’ll do a tremendous job.”

Repairs coming for Hwy. 174 Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Summer is often referred to as construction season, and it will be no different in Orleans. Hwy 174 is set to undergo fixes on 200 joints, and full resurfacing between the split and Montreal Road. “The new city council is taking the problems with Hwy 174 seriously and is committed to reducing commute times for Orleans and Cumberland residents,” said Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais. Work is scheduled for evenings and weekends; lane closures are planned for 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. on weekdays, and 9 p.m. to 10 a.m. on

weekends. The construction period is planned for July until late November. An inquiry was filed last summer at city hall regarding the status of the problems with the highway. It was said that the area is a challenge because of the way the road was constructed. Quoting a response to his inquiry, Blais said “the two interior lanes in both directions run over a concrete base. This base has moved at many of the joints and has resulted in an uneven riding surface. These breaks, if left untreated, will result in accelerated deterioration and could pose safety risks.” The project is being funded as part of the Ottawa on the Move capital works program.

Grades 7 and 8 bus zones sync Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news – The Ottawa public school board has cut in half the distance its students must live from their school to qualify for a bus ride. The school board has harmonized its bus catchment area with the Ottawa Catholic school board for grades 7 and 8 students, moving from a threekilometre perimeter to a 1.6kilometre perimeter. Starting in the 2012-13 school year, grades 7 and 8 stu-

dents in both English boards will fall under the same guidelines, harmonizing their policies through the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority. NUMBER ONE

“It’s by far the number one issue we get calls in for,” said Orleans-Cumberland trustee John Shea. “It continues coming up at parent council meetings.” In 1998, the public board made changes to slow spend-

ing, and the change to busing catchment zones was made. It was a source of frustration for parents who had to drive their children to school or have them walk, while others in their neighbourhood received the option of busing. “It’s been a huge source of chagrin for many of the families in the east end,” Shea said. Boards share buses, though staggered start times mean that students don’t always share the ride with students attending other schools.

Futuro’s boys team collecting cleats for a cause Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC sports - The Ottawa Royals Futuro under-10 boys soccer team has undertaken an ambitious campaign to collect 1,000 pairs of soccer cleats to send to underprivileged children in India. The campaign, Cleats 4 Kids, was started by Futuro coach Sanjeev Parmar and is aiming to gather as many cleats as they can by June 30. The campaign was given country-wide attention when the team was named the Bank of Montreal team of the week as part of a nationwide campaign to promote youth soccer. The Futuro team was recognized for its achievements on and off the ďŹ eld on May 9. “This team is based on a program that goes beyond soccer,â€? said Parmar in a statement. “As coaches, our goal is to provide each player with the ability to reach his potential.â€? “When we’re not on the ďŹ eld, we’re building as a team or reaching out to the community. Being recognized as BMO Team of the Week is truly an honour and a testament to the fact that we have something special.â€? Being named a team of the week offers the Futuro’s a chance at winning a $125,000 ďŹ eld refurbishment.

The Ottawa Royals Futuro under-10 boys team is collecting cleats to send to underpriveldged children in India. Their effort has gained country-wide recognition when the team was named Bank of Montreal’s team of the week winner on May 9. Pete Gauvin, the bank’s manager for the Ottawa metro region, said the level of community involvement displayed by both the players and coaches played a part in the team being honoured. The campaign, Gauvin explained, is about recognizing youth soccer teams that demonstrate team pride, spirit, community commitment and passion for the game.

“When you look at this team here, the way they are collecting the cleats, reaching out and giving back - it is all about team building,� Gauvin said. “It is not just about practicing which makes you good at the game; it is about team spirit which gives you that winning attitude. It is not about just winning the game.� Parmar travels once a year

to India through his coaching company, Parmar Sports Training, to work with the local coaches to divert troubled youth to playing soccer. Parmar has always brought pairs of cleats with him for the children. Working with his business manager, Bobby Jaswal, they decided it was time to take on a larger donation project and started the non-proďŹ t organi-

zation Cleats 4 Kids with the goal of collecting 1,000 pairs of shoes. The team is also collecting any available soccer gear, including shoes that may need small repairs. They are also accepting monetary donations, Jaswal said. At a recent fundraiser in Stittsville, a local daycare donated $90, which is enough to purchase ďŹ ve new

pairs of cleats at a discounted price. The team has already made an incredible effort. “The kids are pretty amazing, parents have been super helpful, but the children, they have been able to go to their principals, making announcements in their schools, and setting up boxes in their schools,â€? Jaswal said. “We just kind of mentioned the initiative to them (the team) and they took it on.â€? Families and soccer players alike can donate their used or new cleats at a drop box at DiSalvo Sports Soccer Store at 1408 Bank St. or at Louis Riel High School in Orleans. Jaswal also welcomes feedback on new locations for drop boxes. The goal is to collect child-sized cleats, but Jaswal said adult sizes are also appreciated. For more information on the cleat drive, please go to Cleats 4 Kids website at cleats4kidscanada.com. The BMO contest will name 15 weekly winners which will be entered for a chance to be voted by Canadians as BMO Team of the Week 2012 Champion. On top of winning a ďŹ eld refurbishment, the grand prize for the winning team includes a road trip to a Canadian professional soccer game and a $5,000 donation to the winning team’s charity of choice.

EMC news – An Ottawa man who was temporarily paralyzed in a swimming accident plans to bike 150 kilometres in a fundraiser to help local people with spinal cord injuries. Steven Dionne used to bike 150 kilometres a weekend easily as part of his job as a bike team paramedic. But after a summer cottage accident almost two years ago, when his friends pulled him from the water, facedown and unconscious, no one thought he would be back on a bicycle. He jumped off a Muskoka dock into the lake, and despite travelling back to the site last summer, has no idea what he hit that broke his neck. “The next thing I knew, I woke up oating facedown, from the shoulders down paralyzed,â€? he said. He was taken by helicopter to the Ottawa Hospital from Hunstville, Ont. still unable to move most of his body. Doctors gave him a 10 to 20 per cent chance of ever getting any function back below his shoulders; Dionne had a burst fracture in his C4 vertebrae in his neck and spinal cord. It looked likely he’d spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair needing help for the majority of daily tasks. He took his ďŹ rst steps in hospital only 10 days later. “The doctors said to stop making them look bad,â€? Dionne said. It’s not to say it’s been an easy recovery – his leg function came back more quickly than arms or trunk, and he spent months in full-time physical therapy at the rehabilitation centre. The Louis Riel high school

dation grows, hopes to be able to fund full wheelchairs and more costly equipment. With plans in the works to make the soccer tournament a large-scale event with fundraising aims of at least $10,000, the two-day bike ride will help kick start momentum and raise funds to cover the overhead costs of growing the tournament. He decided on the two day, 150-kilometre ride “to attract the average Joeâ€? who might not have the training to do a more intensive, faster paced ride. They’ll start behind the Home OutďŹ tters near Blair Road and Innes Road, and continue on the Prescott-Russell Trail. Riders will have camping equipment and overnight bags transported for them to the Vanleek Hill area, and then return to the start point the next day. Sponsors, riders and volunteers are all still welcome to join the ride, and can visit the Steven Dionne Foundation website at www.steven dionnefoundation.com.

Manotick filmmaker revives Canadian UFO story Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - The Diefenbunker served its original purpose over the weekend of May 12 when it sheltered four people from a dangerous energy mass outside. At least, that’s what a local ďŹ lmmaker’s script outlined as a small cast and crew shot the climax of Manotick resident Dale Windle’s ďŹ rst feature ďŹ lm in the bowels of Canada’s cold war museum in Carp. Windle’s sci-ďŹ thriller “Rulers of Darknessâ€? follows Dan Thomas, a young man from Chicago as he tries to uncover the truth about his mother’s strange and untimely death in Falcon Lake, Manitoba two years prior. The plot grows from the documented “Falcon Lake Incidentâ€? of 1967, during which a Winnipeg prospector reportedly witnessed two glowing and very hot unidentiďŹ ed ying objects land near the lake before he was badly burned by the vessels. When documents of the RCMP investigation were declassiďŹ ed several years ago, Windle heard the story on CBC and was inspired to write a ďŹ lm based on the events. Central to the story is the idea that the prospector saw a glowing mass leave the ship, which in the ďŹ lm Dan’s uncle, a plasma expert, believes is an

inorganic plasma life form. The uncle moves to a cabin on Falcon Lake, just over the hill from an abandoned uranium mine, to conduct experiments. He excavates his way into the nearby mine’s power plant through his basement, and sets up a laboratory. When Dan arrives at his uncle’s cabin in Falcon Lake, he heads into the woods to ďŹ nd the spot where his mother died of strange burns. But instead of ďŹ nding answers, he discovers the energy mass that killed his mother, which starts chasing him and his love interest, Cheyna. They descend into the uranium mine to escape it – “where terrifying events unfold,â€? according to Windle. The Diefenbunker’s electrical room, where the generators, air ventilation, water intake tunnels and other necessary infrastructure still exist, posed as the abandoned lab, and the climax of the movie was shot there over the course of two weekends in May. Other scenes were shot in a wooded area in Ottawa and at a cabin on Bobs Lake west of Perth. Windle, 58, said he’s wanted to be a ďŹ lmmaker since he was a teenager making home movies. However, his father sent him to become an architect instead, and he spent 15 years doing a job he didn’t

Manotick resident and bourgeoning filmmaker Dale Windle takes a break during filming his sci-fi thriller five storeys underground at the Diefenbunker museum in Carp. His first feature film is set in Falcon Lake, Manitoba but is being filmed in the Ottawa area. enjoy. He then left to start an IT company – another job he didn’t really want to do. It wasn’t until about four years ago when he began to experience a series of personal tragedies that he started to consider making movies like he’d planned. First he lost his best friend, and then his father and another friend in Ottawa. Two years

later before an annual memorial for his best friend, three childhood friends that were going to host him were killed in a car accident. “It just starts a process of thinking about what is the meaning of life, what am I doing here, why am I doing these things I don’t want to do,� he said. Two years ago this April, he

ďŹ nally acted on the conviction that had been growing since the death of his best friend. “I got up one day and I said, ‘You know what, I’m going to make sure that I go and do the things I really want to do,’â€? he said during a break from ďŹ lming on Sunday, May 13. He attended a ďŹ lm school in New York City and last year he made his ďŹ rst ďŹ lm, a

22-minute comedy which is now on DVD and on demand in the US. He approached this ďŹ rst feature ďŹ lm as a kind of test run, to learn the process of making a feature-length movie. “I literally made a business decision to make a sci-ďŹ thriller. I was driving along, I heard that story about the Falcon Lake incident on CBC, I researched it and I thought, ‘what a perfect way to inspire a story,’â€? he said. He said the ďŹ lm should be ready for release in July, at which point he hopes to have a Canadian distribution contract for DVD or even limited theatrical release. In October he will travel to California to secure US licensing as well. As he still works full time with his IT company, he said he aspires to make one ďŹ lm each summer. Next year’s project is already in the works – a project he’s especially passionate about that features a recovered alcoholic living on the street, who discovers $2.5 million in abandoned drug money. When he decides to take it, of course, his life is signiďŹ cantly affected, Windle said. This year’s sci-ďŹ thriller will likely be shown at the Mayfair when it’s ďŹ nished, Windle said.

EMC news - Meadowlands Public School students got a chance to show off their character during an annual day of workshops on May 11. The school ran its annual event, which coincides with their character education curriculum, with the theme “What kind of world do we want?” The day kicked off with a presentation from the school’s Me to We club. Me to We is a concept born out of the Free the Children charity, which was created as a model for creating social change, with each branch of the Me to We tree designed to support Free the Children’s work at home and abroad. “The club had been to … a Me to We day in Montreal with speakers like Jesse Jackson,” Meadowlands teacher Pam Parks said (Jackson is an African-American civil rights activist and Baptist minister). “They showed the students a call and response, where they would shout out the type of world they would like to see.” Then the day-long series of workshops started with talks from Rabbi Blum, the founder of Kindness Week, and Aisha Sherazi, a former school principal and advocate for Muslim issues.

Centretown prepares for planning open house Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news – Centretown’s community association is asking all residents to come out and participate in shaping the future of their neighbourhood, which could include restricting height allowances for developers. The Centretown Citizens Community Association will host a public meeting on May 30 on the Centertown’s community design plan at the McNabb Community Centre from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The association is seeking input from all area residents in an effort to ensure the document is what the community wants. “It is important to get everyone to come out and participate,” said Joan Spice, an association board member who is organizing the event. Spice asked Coun. Peter Hume and Diane Holmes and the city’ general manager of planning and growth management John Moser to attend. As of May 17 only Holmes has confirmed, Spice said. The meeting will consist of a few opening remarks and presentations, including one from board member Judy Forest, who will present the community design plan at the be-

ginning of the meeting. At the association’s May 15 meeting, Spice presented the most recent plans for the process. Board members concluded it is very important for residents to come out and participate to ensure the plan is what area residents’ desire. Holmes agreed. “You want to attract people to the meeting, have them be in favour of the CDP (community design plan) as it is,” Holmes said. The current zoning for the area allows for 12-storey buildings. According to Holmes, developers would like to see the zoning changed to 27-storeys – a height the community does not openly welcome. Under the recently approved Section 37 guidelines, any proposed building that is 25 per cent or more over the zoning height would be subject to having to pay out community benefits. “If developers win on the Centretown design plan then there will be nothing left for us to discuss, and that is what they want,” Holmes said. Spice is looking to garner support for the current zoning in the plan and urges residents to come out and voice their opinions.

Rideau Canal to stay open all season Boaters could see changes in 2013

0524.R0011415397

EMC news – The length of the Rideau Canal season will remain unchanged for 2012. Environment Minister Peter Kent, who is responsible for Parks Canada, announced, just as the canal was opening on Friday, May 18, that the world heritage site will stay

open for its entire regular season until October 10. In April, a Parks Canada memo outlined the need for drastic changes to the Rideau Canal’s operations, including cuts to season length, operating hours and staffing, to make up for a $29.2 million

budget cut. It was unclear at the time when or how those changes would take affect. Kent’s announcement is not a permanent resolution, however, and he said the canal season will still be altered in 2013 to meet the budget crunch.

“As the government implements changes to next year’s navigation season, Parks Canada will work closely with local stakeholders, members of Parliament and partners to minimize, where possible, the impacts of these changes on neighbouring communities and partners in the tourism community,” Kent said during his announcement.

Communities along the corridor have expressed dismay at the budget cuts, because their tourism industries depend on the canal. Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre said in a statement he was happy with Kent’s announcement. “I am pleased that the communities in my riding will now have the opportunity to

consult with Parks Canada before any changes are made (to) the navigation season along the historic Rideau Canal,” he said. Parks Canada spokesperson Carol Sheedy said in April that while services have remained the same, boater traffic has decreased by a third in the past 25 years, driving the per-boat cost up.

3 Million More Home Care Hours Last week, our government announced that we will be adding three million more hours of care by Personal Support Workers (PSWs) over the next three years, including an estimated one million more hours this year. This increase in support workers will help 90,000 more seniors get the care they need to live comfortably in their own homes. This investment is part of our 2012 Budget commitment to increase funding for home and community care.

Promoting food allergy awareness EMC news - For individuals with food allergies, severe allergic reactions can occur quickly and without warning, and some foods can be lifethreatening to people of all ages, particularly children. Health Canada is reminding Canadians of the importance of allergy awareness. Peanuts, tree nuts, sesame seeds, soy, seafood, wheat, eggs, milk, mustard and sulphites are

the food allergens most commonly associated with severe allergic reactions in Canada. The most dangerous symptoms include breathing difficulties or a drop in blood pressure, which may result in loss of consciousness, anaphylaxis and even death. There is no cure for food allergies. Avoiding an allergen is the only effective way to prevent allergic reactions.

There are many important steps that you can take to help protect yourself. • Read product labels very carefully as manufacturers sometimes change the ingredients used in familiar products. • Avoid food products that don’t list their ingredients • When eating at a friend’s or in a restaurant, tell your host/server about your food allergy and ask questions.

The Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind in Manotick will host an open house on June 2, where visitors can see guide dog demonstrations and meet some of the working dogs.

Guide dogs work for awareness at open house emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – The Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is offering dog-lovers across the city a chance to meet some of the most loyal dogs in the country. The charity’s national headquarters and training centre is based in Manotick, and it will host an open house as part of Doors Open Ottawa on Saturday, June 2 for families to visit puppies in training and see working dogs in action. “It’s a chance to meet a lot of dogs, which everybody loves, but especially kids,” said special events co-ordinator Steven Doucette. “They’ll get to meet some puppies in our fostering program, working dogs, dogs in training.” Doucette said visitors will also get a few lessons in “guide dog etiquette” – like when you see a guide dog in harness, don’t pet it. He said the point of the open house is to raise awareness about the organization, and bust some myths about where guide dogs are trained. “It’s a common misconception that the CNIB (formerly the Canadian National Institute for the Blind) trains them,” Doucette said. In fact, the Guide Dogs training centre in Manotick brings clients from across the country to live at the centre for four weeks, where they train with their guide dog before taking it home. The training centre will be open to the public between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Visitors can enjoy tours of the training centre and kennel buildings, as well as guide dog and assistance dog demonstrations

throughout the day. Although the event is free, donations are accepted and visitors are welcome to check out the many souvenirs in the gift shop. Doucette said visitors are also welcome to do-

nate their soon-to-be-obsolete pennies. Pet dogs should be left at home. For more information call 613-692-7777, email events@ guidedogs.ca or visit www. guidedogs.ca.

Humane Society calls for tougher sentences Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

and prohibited from owning, caring or having custody of animals – with the exception of his roommate’s two dogs – for one year. In another case, a woman pled guilty to permitting distress and not meeting the standards of care for her rabbit and two guinea pigs. The animals were left alone in her apartment for several days.

Due to its condition, the rabbit had to be euthanized; the two guinea pigs have since been adopted out. The accused was ordered to pay $250 in restitution to the OHS and is prohibited from owning or caring for animals for a period of 10 years. “While we are pleased with the guilty pleas, we’re outraged that the sentences are

far too lenient,â€? OHS executive director Bruce Roney said in a statement. “Ten animals have suffered, yet the total ďŹ nancial penalty is $500, only $50 per animal that was left to die. The message I take from that is animals don’t count.â€? Roney said the restitution fee in no way covers the costs of the investigation, removing animals and euthanizing those

that are suffering. He added the ďŹ nes handed out in the two recent cases were too low compared with the maximum sentence of a $60,000 ďŹ ne, two years in prison and a lifetime ban on owning animals. As people travel and move during the summer months, the OHS said they see a rise in cases of abandonment and neglect.

EMC news – Two recent cases of animal abandonment and neglect have prompted calls from the Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) for tougher sentences. One Ottawa man recently pled guilty to failing to provide the prescribed standards of care and permitting distress

to six cats and one rabbit. The man was charged after the landlord found the animals in an abandoned unit with no food or water. A press release from the Humane Society also stated there was urine and feces throughout the unit. All but one of the cats had to be euthanized due to their medical condition. The accused was ďŹ ned $250

Dolls received royal treatment

T

o me, my dolls were real little people. Babies, really. I loved every one of them and made awfully sure I treated each of them equally. All in like favour, as was the saying back then. There weren’t two alike. I had about six, all precious to me. They were all shapes and sizes, with some I could cuddle, as if they were real babies and had to be handled with special care. Although I tried not to show it, one of my most precious dolls was one I got as a surprise one Christmas. I had longed for it after seeing it in the Five and Dime Store in Renfrew, sure I would never have it. But there it was under the tree on that wonderful day back in the 1930s, when there was little money for such frivolity. One of my dolls was not one you could cuddle. First of all, I was frightened she might break. You see, her arms, legs and face were made of china. Aunt Lizzie had brought it all the way from Regina one year, not taking a chance on sending it in the hand-me-down box that came regularly filled with cast-offs her sons could no longer wear. This one came with a name already on a little tag pinned to her lacy dress. It wasn’t a name I would have ever picked for such a beautiful doll. She was

them gently with the little blanket Mother had also made out a flannelette remnant. And then I checked each doll to make sure it was in what I thought was a comfortable position. Only then was I ready for bed. Often a miracle happened over the night. While I was asleep in my bed upstairs, I wouldn’t hear it, but when I got up in the morning, I would see that there had been a stirring during the night. I would remember exactly how I had placed the dolls in the little blue crib. But they would have moved. One or two would have changed places. Wasn’t Sally at the foot of the crib the night before? And now she was cuddled at the head, with her face turned to the kitchen wall. I would marvel at the miracle before my eyes. My dolls really were babies after all. Hadn’t this just proved it? It would be many years before I could come close to explaining the miracle that I saw some mornings in the kitchen of that old log house. Was it a real miracle? Was it fantasy? Or was it my beloved sister Audrey, who was always out of bed long before me in the morning, who moved the dolls around so that her little sister would cling to a childhood dream for just a few years longer?

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories named Claire, but I thought she was much more suited to be called Margaret. Of course, my love for Princess Margaret Rose had a lot to do with my choice. I could spend hours playing with my dolls. I dressed and undressed them, sat them in the swing, making it into a pretend school room and took on the persona of Miss Crosby, our teacher at the Northcote School. Of course, I was never as strict as was Miss Crosby. Other than the china doll and the one I got as a Christmas surprise, there was nothing exceptional about my other dolls. One or two had the paint almost worn off their faces before I learned you couldn’t wash them with soap and water. But I loved them just as dearly as the others. I went through a real ritual before I went to bed at night. Father, one Christmas, had made me a doll crib. Pale blue. It was big enough to hold most of my dolls, except the china one because I couldn’t take a chance on her being broken through the night from

the thrashing about of one of her crib mates. Yes, I was sure, they breathed, turned in the crib and like me and my sister, pushed and shoved to get a share of the bed. So this doll slept on a little padded quilt Mother made. It was on the floor beside the crib and well away from the path of anyone who might be making a trip through the kitchen during the night. At bedtime, before I climbed the stairs to the big hall which served as a bedroom for Audrey and me, I gathered my dolls around me and crouched on the floor beside the little blue crib. I sang a song to the dolls. Then, just like Mother did before we climbed into our beds upstairs, I closed my eyes and said a soft prayer under my breath that they would be safe during the night. I placed them on the flannelette mattress Mother had made, which matched the nightgown I myself wore to bed. I made sure they were on their backs, the china doll on the mat at the foot of the crib and then I covered

Quick, easy breakfast cinnamon buns EMC food - Fresh cinnamon buns, homemade and served warm from the oven for breakfast, are one of the better things in life. In this recipe, the food processor does all the mixing and kneading. Once you try it and discover just how quick and easy it is, you’ll be ready to make cinnamon buns again and again. To make morning preparation even easier, do some of the prep the night before. You can measure the dry ingredients, prepare the cinnamon-brown sugar filling and even butter the baking pan ahead of time.

Kristy Strauss

Nepean artist Fortunée Shugar will have a solo exhibition called Impressions of Impressionism at the Foyer Gallery from May 30 to June 17.

Nepean artist shares her ‘impressions of impressionism’ Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - Fortunée Shugar never led a typical life. She and her family were expelled from war-torn Egypt when she was just a little girl in 1956. She remembers living in a small motel room for almost three years with her family, and having no possessions “I think a lot of that shaped my way of seeing the world,” Shugar said from her Nepean home, where walls are covered with her art work. When she and her family moved to Montreal a few years later, she remembers how she started feeling alone as she had to learn English very quickly. “I think I always felt a little bit different than other people, because I came from a place so far away and so foreign to everyone,” Shugar said. While she doesn’t remember much of bombs falling and total blackouts that were commonplace in her native Egypt before she left, Shugar believes her vivid imagination stems from everything that’s built up inside of her because of that experience. That’s why through her art, the artist wants to create a feeling in those looking at her work and go beyond just the visual. “I don’t understand how it works, but something comes from somewhere and it goes

through me and ends up on the canvass,” Shugar said. The feelings that ran through her when she traveled to the gardens of Monet and the asylum where Van Gogh rested and painted are the inspiration for her latest solo exhibit, Impressions of Impressionism, being held at the Foyer Gallery May 30 to June 17. “My intention was to bring out what was inside me when I was there and what I’ve been carrying ever since I was there,” Shugar said. “I was very, very moved.” Through impressionism, Shugar recreates what she saw when she visited these places in France and recreates her feelings of being there. When she arrived last summer to Monet’s gardens, she described how she felt she was in a “magical place.” Through her art, she hopes those who see it will be taken to a different place too. “It’s not about understanding it, it’s about feeling it,” Shugar said. “It’s a different way of looking, it’s not only looking with your eyes, it’s using a different part of your psyche, a different part of you – if you just allow it to travel.” Shugar admits she used to be afraid of living the life of an artist and the uncertainty of work. But no matter what she was doing, she wanted to be creative – whether it was enrolling in an animation program

at Algonquin College or designing clothes. “When you’re a creative person, it doesn’t just come like that,” Shugar said. “It has to mellow and stew somewhere in your heart and soul until it’s ready to show itself. You can’t create on demand. It’s like a good stew – it needs to cook for a while, it needs to simmer, bubble up and eventually it all gels together.” She’s passionate about everything she does, including side jobs where she teaches art to developmentally delayed adults, children and holds cooking classes for children. “That love of something, it just bursts out of me,” Shugar said. “I don’t do it for any other reason other than it has to come out.” For those interested, Shugar also has work on display at the Michael Gennis Gallery, a new art gallery in Westboro. “I’m starting to branch out a little bit,” she said. Shugar will also be at the Foyer Gallery during her solo exhibit at select times for those who want to come in and meet her, including: • May 30, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. • June 3, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. • June 6, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. • June 16, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. • June 17, 2 pm.. to 5 p.m. • Or by appointment For more information on Shugar and her upcoming exhibit, visit her website at fortuneeshugar.com.

Dough • two cups flour • one tbsp. baking powder • 1/4 tsp. baking soda • 1/2 tsp. salt • 1/4 cup vegetable oil • one cup buttermilk Filling • 1/4 - 1/3 cup softened butter (not margarine) • 1/2 cup brown sugar • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon Measure the dry ingredi-

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff ents for the dough into the food processor. Cover, and pulse for about six seconds to mix them. Your food processor should have a removable insert in the lid for pouring liquids. Take out the insert and with the motor running, pour the oil and buttermilk through the opening into the dry ingredients. Continue processing until the dough forms a ball. This takes about one minute. Turn the dough out on a lightly-floured surface, and shape it into a ball. With a rolling pin, roll the dough out to make a rectangle 38 centimetres long and 25 centimetres wide. The long side should be facing you. For the filling, spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up the rectangle tightly, starting from the long

side closest to you. Pinch the seam to seal. With a sharp knife, cut the roll in half, then mark each half into five portions of equal width. Cut through the roll where you’ve marked it. Marking the dough first, then cutting it, will help you in making slices that are even in width. Arrange the slices, cut side up, in a greased round 22 centimetre (nine-inch) cake pan. Place eight slices around the edge of the pan and two in the middle. This gives them room to expand as they bake. Bake at 400 F (200 C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven, and set the pan on a cake rack. Cool for about five minutes in the pan before serving. Makes 10 buns.

Former student Erwin Duncan and branch supervisor Donna Bowen settle into some original school desks, two of many signs that the Vernon library branch was once the village’s one-room schoolhouse. The branch will celebrate 40 years in the schoolhouse on June 2.

Vernon library celebrates 40 years in schoolhouse Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – For 130 years, the old schoolhouse on Highway 31 in Vernon has been a place of education and community. First, it was a pillar of the village as Osgoode Township’s Schoolhouse No. 20 serving Vernon. Sixty years later it was replaced by a new school, and in 1961 became Club 31 – Vernon’s hub for community events, wedding showers and gettogethers. In 1972 the club allowed Osgoode Township Library to fill the northwest corner of the old schoolhouse with shelves of books, to act as its Vernon branch. When the club was hosting events, a curtain was pulled across the shelves to hide them. “I’m told the rod is still there behind the valance, as a legacy,” said Donna Clark, the rural library manager for the city. In 1982 the entire building was converted into a library, and since then has been a different kind of hub – one of reading, research and learning. On Saturday, June 2 the Vernon branch of the Ottawa Public Library will celebrate 40 years in its historic home, as part of Doors Open Ottawa.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. visitors can pop by the library to have some cake and check out the historic site. Walking through the red brick building, former student Erwin Duncan, now 84, has a keen eye for clues that the room was once filled with as many as 40 students from grades 1 to 8.

‘People come in and say, ‘It’s so cozy in here.’ And then I tell them it used to be a school and they say, ‘Ah, OK.’ DONNA BOWEN VERNON LIBRARY VICE SUPERVISOR

He points to where the large woodstove used to sit in front of the main door, including a burn mark on the original hardwood floors. He notes a curtain rod sconce from which curtains hung during plays and special performances, and the footwide ledge that is all that’s left of the teacher’s platform at the front of the room. Two wooden desks with wrought-iron legs and inkwell holes are used as display tables in the middle of

the library, although they now face the wrong way. A ceiling imperfection above the door marks where the belfry rope hung, and an even bigger hole marks the ventilation pipe for the indoor toilet that came after Duncan’s time. Duncan attended the school between 1934 and 1942, under the tutelage of Lloyd Lemoine, an unconventional outdoorsman that let them build birdhouses, plant gardens and maintain the skating rink outside when their class work was complete. Duncan said despite the fact that the building now has a circulation desk inside the front door and its walls are covered with colourful books, he can still picture exactly how it was. “I can remember, just as plain as day,” he said. The branch’s public service supervisor Donna Bowen, who has lived in Vernon her entire life and has worked at the library for 20 years, said visitors respond well to the building. “People come in and say, ‘It’s so cozy in here.’ And then I tell them it used to be a school and they say, ‘Ah, OK,’” she said. The schoolhouse feeling still clings to the heritage building. “In one sense things have

changed, but in another way there are still a few things that haven’t.” Before the library made its home in the schoolhouse, it was located at the Porteous general store where it was founded in 1900, at the corner of Lawrence Street and Highway 31. In 1987 the library was renovated, and in 2007 it received an accessible washroom where the original library shelves were once located. In 2011 and 2012 the building got an accessible entranceway and ramp. Apart from structural changes, the library has also changed in terms of what it offers residents. Since amalgamation into the City of Ottawa in 2001, the branch has gained access to over two million items in the city’s collection. With growing online resources, residents can now easily request items to their home branch, and can access bestsellers through the express reads program, Clark said. The library will serve cake during the open house to celebrate 40 years as a community library.

EMC news – Two Barrhaven police officers were honoured for their commitment to the community both on and off duty on Wednesday, May 16. Staff Sgt. Debbie Miller and her husband, Sgt. Kirk Miller received the award from the Margaret Brand chapter of IODE, a non-profit women’s organization focused on community service and volunteering. Along with the award the couple had $200 donated to a charity of their choice, which they sent to Crossroads Children’s Centre, a mental health agency serving children under the age of 12. The IODE group decided to give out the award after several members noticed the couple getting involved in the community. It was an unusual addition the group’s annual fundraiser, which has taken place for 18 years. The award was presented as part of the Nepean IODE group’s annual fundraising dinner and silent auction at Cedarhill Golf and Country Club. This year the event supported Christie Lake Kids’ STAR program that helps low-income children take part in after-school athletic, academic and artistic activities. Kirk Miller started his career with the Ottawa Police Service as a volunteer before joining the force in 1998. He became a community police

officer for several years, working closely with the community to solve local issues and target trouble spots. He now leads a team to make downtown Ottawa a safer place. Off duty, Miller is just as involved in the community. He and his wife both offer presentations on policing to local groups and schools, and has also led Black History Month presentations. He volunteers as a Big Brother and he and Debbie both volunteer for Habitat for Humanity. Debbie Miller joined the force in 1994 and worked in several sections, including as a school resource officer. She now works as a staff sergeant. Apart from the volunteering she does with her husband, Miller sits on several volunteer committees, including one at Crossroads as well as the multi-cultural committee at CHEO to improve health resources for all families in the city. When an earthquake leveled much of Haiti’s capital city in 2010, the Millers also organized a number of community groups to collect and fill shoeboxes with items for the orphanages across the desperate country. More than 2,000 boxes were sent to Haiti from Ottawa. IODE chapter president Janet Beach said the couple is in constant contact with their community through their volunteering. “They’re such great people,” she said.

The Ottawa farmers market opened at Brewer Park in Old Ottawa South on May 6.

Farmers market on move to Brewer Park Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Only weeks after taking up residency at Brewer Park, organizers of the Ottawa Farmers’ Market are finding the biggest headache is the lack of parking at the new location. The market opened at Brewer Park on May 6 after moving the original location at Lansdowne Park. Market manager Linda Cook has been watching closely to ensure all shoppers enjoy their visit to the new location, including keeping a close eye on parking issues. “It is only the first few weeks and there have been some parking issues, but (customers) are getting it,” Cook said. “It is not too bad in the morning (but) Brewer Park is a busy park. It is only going to get more congestion as the day goes on.” The market is working with Carleton University to provide free parking passes and Cook is encouraging shoppers to take advantage. “The best thing is to download the parking pass, print it

out and put it in windshield and go straight to Carleton,” Cook said. Close to the canal and Bank Street, biking, walking and public transportation all remain viable options, she said. Residents in Old Ottawa South have been quick to warm to the new Sunday market in their neighbourhood. “It has been fabulous, they have been pouring in from Old Ottawa South,” Cook said. Captial Coun. David Chernushenko, who is an Old Ottawa South resident himself, said it has been delightful to have the market so close by, but acknowledged he has heard about the parking concerns, too. “Well as a resident, it is nice to walk out the door,” Chernushenko said. “And I have heard a lot of positive comments, but it hasn’t come with out challenges and I hear that as a councillor and as a neighbour.” Chernushenko’s own home is further away from the immediate traffic concerns, but he has heard from a number of people about the traffic.

1993

“Now my challenge is to get as few people to come out with their cars, to try and get as many people to leave the car at home,” he added. An avid cyclist, Chernushenko said there are excellent cycling routes for people to take and if people do need to drive to go straight to Carleton. “The designated spot is at Carleton University, spare everybody, including yourself any trouble and go straight there,” Chernushenko said. All in all, Chernushenko is happy the market remained close to Lansdowne Park. “Markets are gathering places, you see neighbours and get time to talk to each other and there aren’t enough of those,” Chernushenko said. There are a number of upcoming events at the market, including a sample tent. Cook was happy to announce Sparky and Winston, two Clydesdale horses, are back pulling a wagon through streets of Old Ottawa South. The market is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

EMC community - Kitchissippi residents looking to chat one-on-one with their councillor about issues in their ward now have a new line of communication. Once a month, Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs will be hosting Let’s Chat sessions at various locations throughout the ward. So far, she’s chatted with residents at the Great Canadian Theatre Company, Churchill Seniors Recreation Centre and Dovercourt Community Centre. “We do door-to-door (knocking) still, but it’s not something we do all the time, and we do a lot of communication in terms of direct emails,” said Hobbs. “But it’s the faceto-face that we just thought, why not try?” She added each Let’s Chat session has seen increasingly larger turnouts. For example, at the latest session held at Dovercourt Recreation Centre saw members from all over the ward attend, including from residents from Westboro Beach and Hintonburg. Hobbs also said that most of the questions or feedback she receives at the sessions is about specific concerns from residents about things going on right in their backyard.

Kitchissippi Ward Coun. Katherine Hobbs is hosting Let’s Chat sessions with the community once a month. “The topics are diverse and really personal,” Hobbs said, adding she has her own neighbours coming in and asking her questions. “People are coming in and talking about LRT, or I want to walk my dog here, or what’s making me happy in my house.” She believes the chats have been so successful so far is because some might not feel comfortable speaking up at public meetings or there are time limitations when she goes door knocking. To make sure she has time to talk with everyone, Hobbs said she still needs to fine-

tune the Let’s Chat sessions, perhaps by scheduling time. Overall, Hobbs said the sessions have showed her other issues in the ward that need addressing. “We all want to have a better city,” she said. “This is a way of being able to do that.” For those interested in sharing their ideas or asking Hobbs questions, the next Let’s Chat session will be held June 15 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Great Canadian Theatre Company.

Seniors on Site (SOS) is a local Ottawa company with an innovative approach to caring for elderly individuals. It was founded on the belief that younger seniors can fulfill a growing need to assist older seniors to do the things that they no longer find easy to do or have time to do. Seniors on Site services are offered by experienced and qualified caregivers 50+ who bring a wealth of experience into every home they enter, as well as ensuring respectful working relationships that see every situation handled with trust and care. If you are a senior and need assistance, either in your own home or in a retirement or nursing home, with such activities as light housekeeping, meal preparation, running errands, transportation to appointments or simply wish to have a friendly visit, our Seniors on Site caregivers can provide a helping hand. We also offer a variety of home maintenance services including gardening, lawn work and minor repairs. If you are caring for a loved one who is showing signs of dementia, or if you simply need some respite from providing care, Seniors on Site caregivers can visit with your family member to give you some relief. Recognizing, however, that it’s not always sufficient to have a friendly visit with an elderly person with dementia but that it’s also important to engage in stimulating and enjoyable activities, Seniors on Site offers a unique program which provides cognitive interaction to help offset the effects of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease or other cognitive impairments. A growing body of recent scientific research suggests cognitive training or stimulation may play a significant role in slowing down the progress of these diseases, thereby maximizing an individual’s ability to function, for an extended period of time. Seniors on Site’s unique dementia care program uses the comprehensive cognitive interaction program created by Fit Minds, a local Ottawa company. The program covers physical activities, language and music, visual/spatial, memory, critical thinking and computation exercises to engage the cognitive abilities of individuals suffering from dementia in fun and meaningful ways.

Algonquin College names new president Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news – Algonquin College will have a new top man on the job starting Aug. 20. Currently in the position of vice-president of academic with the college, Kent MacDonald said he is humbled and honoured he was chosen to replace outgoing president Bob Gillett. Gillett announced his retirement last August and will be at the college until the end of December 2012. “Bob Gillet has been a giant in the education world, both in

the kindergarten to Grade 12 realm and in post secondary,” MacDonald said. The selection from the college’s rank and file came at the end of a six-month, international search aimed at finding the best candidate to serve as the college’s president. “The…board of governors was tasked with finding a proven leader who embodies the values, leadership skills and academic experience required to continue the extraordinary progress made at Algonquin over the last four decades,” board of governors chairman

Michael Dunlop said in a statement. MacDonald has studied education at the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels. The 48-year-old originally began his work with the college when he was hired at the Pembroke campus in 1998. Before coming to the college he worked as a high school teacher with the Ottawa Catholic School Board and taught in New Zealand and Nova Scotia. MacDonald, who worked with the college’s board of governors on a five-year plan

for the college, said his first goal will be to make sure that growth at the college and technology fits with the plan in place. MacDonald said he is sure he will have a learning curve when he takes over the college’s top spot, but feels comfortable with implementing the business part of the five-year plan because he was so heavily involved in its development. As for new technology and learning tools, MacDonald said the college will keep looking to improve its facilities and tools for students.

“We have to be careful to not drive ahead of our headlights,” he said, of using new technologies for learning. “We have to balance the changing technology and the instructional needs of our students.” Another goal as he assumes his new post is to address some of the labour management issues at the college. “We are blessed to have some of the best faculty and staff here at the college,” MacDonald said, adding his job is to make sure that staff has the tools they need to do their jobs.

EMC news – Water and rock removal hiccups have slowed work on the Knoxdale Road sanitary sewer project. The project, which was delayed due to repairs to the broken watermain on Woodroffe Avenue last year, will include: • Abandoning the existing sanitary sewer along Knoxdale Road • Installing new water hydrants • Widening the road width at the west corner of Knoxdale and Craig Henry Drive • Installing new water and sewer lines for houses that have problems with the lines freezing A note to residents from Carol Holmes, the city project engineer, said crews are having difficulty effectively removing water from the ground. The second issue is that crews have encountered rock on Knoxdale that needs to be removed for construction of the new sanitary sewer. A shallow, open trench on

Beechcliffe Street was constructed to position a system to remove the groundwater and make way for construction. In the note to residents, Holmes said the system will be turned off until crews resolve the issues with removing the water. On Knoxdale between Milford Avenue and Newhaven Street, city workers have encountered a shelf of shallow rock that will mean changes to construction methods. This will also result in some traffic changes to accommodate a revised system to remove water. The original traffic plan included closing Beechcliffe to local traffic only and lane reductions on Woodroffe (southbound only), Knoxdale and Craig Henry. “We are going to try and make it as painless as possible,” said Gerry Bauer, an engineer with R.V. Anderson Associates Ltd., during a Knoxdale-Merivale Ward open house last April. Work is expected to last until the end of July.

Noise bylaw changes would fine party hosts Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Booze-fuelled student antics are making Sandy Hill a nightmare neighbourhood, a city committee heard on May 17. Almost a dozen Sandy Hill residents came out in support of changes to the way the city’s noise bylaw is enforced, but many said there needs to be even more attention to fix the “free-for-all party destination” reputation Sandy Hill is gaining. Christopher Collmorgen, president of Action Sandy Hill, said 20 per cent of the total noise complaints in Ottawa come from Sandy Hill. Resident May Morpaw said the widespread tolerance of open drinking in the streets of Sandy Hill is leading to increasingly frequent and intense parties, including a neighbourhood-wide St. Patrick’s Day bash that left the neighbourhood in shambles and included noisy revelers throwing glass bottles off rooftops. Carl Martin, who also lives in the neighbourhood, said even longtime Sandy Hill residents had never seen anything like it. Another resident, Leanne Moussa, said she has called bylaw services only to be told, “What do you expect, living in

MAX

Sandy Hill?” Camille Lachausseur, a Sandy Hill mother, said her children’s health and ability to learn are being impacted by the constant nighttime partying. “I don’t want them to grow up thinking that this is normal behaviour,” she said. Lachausseur said there is a “double standard” for young people. “Why is there a double standard for young people … if I walked down the street like this, I would be given a ticket,” she said. Lachausseur worried about Sandy Hill becoming “the next London or Kingston,” referring to university cities that have recently experienced alcoholicfuelled vandalism. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans countered that noisy student parties aren’t just a downtown problem. “The O-Train has transitioned our neighbourhood,” she said. “It started downtown and it’s primarily downtown, but it’s moving out.” The bylaw changes will allow enforcement officers to issue fines to tenants, not just their noisy guests. Bylaw officers will also be able to carry batons after receiving new training. There will also be a pilot project beginning this year that will see

a small group of bylaw enforcement officers assigned to work until 3:30 a.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays until September. Previously, bylaw services shifted responsibility for the issue over to the police after 2 a.m. – when many intoxicated patrons are heading home from bars. Most of the comments the city received were in support of the changes, but some said the amendments don’t go far enough. They wanted the city to fine landlords if their tenants are noisy. Linda Anderson, the city’s bylaw chief, said it would be unfair to fine landlords who don’t live at the property because they don’t have the legal tools to evict noisy tenants. Tenants can be evicted if they disturb others in the building, but the tenant board could give them more chances. John Dickie, head of the Eastern Ontario Landlords Association, spoke in support of the changes, but said there wouldn’t be much point in laying bylaw charges on landlords, if the city tried to expand the rules in the future. “Our members want these problems to be solved,” Dickie said, adding, Council will still have to vote on the noise bylaw changes.

Phil Reeve, consultant for JL Richards, tells residents what to expect during Holland Avenue reconstruction.

Holland Avenue set for reconstruction Kristy Strauss

kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC news - Residents checked out what to expect when reconstruction work along Holland Avenue begins this summer at a public open house held at Fisher Park Public School on May 16. The work to replace an existing water main on Holland Avenue between Scott and Tyndall streets is set to begin in early to mid-July, to finish by this fall. The water main was installed between 1908 and 1922. It will be replaced with a larger water main that will include tie-ins at Scott, Spencer, Armstrong and Tyndall streets and Byron Avenue. The project will also re-

place existing water services to properties within the construction limits, allow for two located sewer repairs along Holland Avenue, reinstate trenches from Scott to Byron for the proposed water main, replacing the sidewalks and resurfacing Holland from Scott to Tyndall. Phil Reeve, a consultant for contractor JL Richards who was at the open house, said Holland Avenue will be reduced to two lanes with one lane going in each direction, and there will be no street parking during construction. Walking access will also be reduced when work is done on the sidewalks, he said. Louay Chebbani, who has a business on Holland Avenue,

was at the open house and wanted to learn more about the impact construction will have. “There’s going to be no on-road parking for clients,” Chebbani said, fearing this would have an effect on his business. Reeve said the construction will result in wider sidewalks and workers will try to limit any disruptions. However, water might be shut off for short periods of times to surrounding homes, he said. Area residents will also be issued parking passes when workers are physically putting the pipe in underground, since they will be unable to access their driveways, Reeve said.

This neutered male, tricolor Rottweiler and German Shepherd mix dog is approximately six years old. He was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on May 9, and is looking for a family who will take him for walks every day. Trips to the dog park would be great, too! Max has a friendly and polite way of meeting new people, and he will happily show you all of the commands that he has mastered. He gets along with other dogs and kids who are familiar with large dogs. He lived with cats in his previous home. Max needs an assertive and confident owner who will expose him to all sorts of new people and places, because Max can be a bit leery of new things. A crate would be a comfortable place for Max to feel at ease as he gets used to his new home.

This unaltered male, green and yellow Budgie is about a year old. He was brought to the shelter as a stray, and is one of two budgies currently available for adoption. Budgies are curious and playful birds that can form a strong bond with their owners. They do best in pairs or larger groups and like to feel like part of a flock. If you have room in your family for another flock member, contact the adoption centre to enquire about Echo! 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.

TAKE YOUR DOG WITH YOU ON YOUR WEEKEND GETAWAY reaction, and you need to know the steps to take to appropriately deal with any situation that may arise. Make sure your dog is up-to-date on vaccinations because dogs can encounter unvaccinated animals while camping. Dog licenses should also be current, and microchip and identification tags must be up-to-date. A second set of tags with your cell phone number (or perhaps the number of the cottage or the campsite you will be staying) may be a good idea. Dogs can get stressed out when their routine changes. Too much stress can lead to erratic behavior, even illness. Getting your dog used to many scenarios in the weeks before your trip is easy and fun. Put up your tent in the back yard before you camp and let your dog get used to it. Bring your dog’s bed, and a tarp or plastic sheet to help keep it clean and dry – and to help keep your dog warm. Bringing the bed that a dog is most used to is as much behavioral support as comfort. Camping may mean an increase in physical activity for your dog, so make sure your dog has plenty of water. Even if your dog is well-behaved, you will need to keep him or her on a leash. It is unfair to other campers if your dog wanders into their campsite, and regardless of whether your dogs is friendly, he or she could run

into various scenarios and unfriendly people or animals. Make sure your dog’s leash, collar and buckle are in good condition and will not break if he or she suddenly lunges. Bring extras, just in case. Be sure to stoop and scoop! Your companion’s waste is not only a nuisance to other campers, but is bad for the environment, especially if you are near a water source. Bring a muzzle with you. Even if your dog is not aggressive and you never have to use it, it is a great safety precaution. If your dog is injured, his or her behaviour can and change and panic or fear may cause your dog to react differently than normal. The muzzle will prevent him or her from biting you or others trying to administer first aid. Don’t forget extra treats for your canine companion. It’s a treat for you to get away from it all, and you should try and make the experience extra special for your companion animal, too! You may not like certain types of bones or treats because of the mess they make in your home – but camping is a perfect outdoor place to offer these treats! Remember: your behavior with your dogs affects ALL campers with dogs! Keep your dog quiet, exhaust your dog with exercise, keep your dog on a leash at all times and never, ever leave your dog alone at a camp site.

It’s that time of year when weekend getaways are appealing, and summer vacation time is just around the corner. The OHS receives a higher number of dogs surrendered or abandoned as strays in the summer months because their owners cannot find care for them during their holidays. But why not pick a getaway that’s fun for the whole family, furry members and all? Camping with your canines can be a lot of fun, and a learning experience for everyone involved. Don’t forget, all these new smells and sites can be very exciting for a dog, and you have to be able to restrain your canine companion in the presence of distractions, such as deer, squirrels and other critters. If you are going to camp with a dog (or dogs), it is important that the dog is well-behaved around other people (both adults and children) and animals. Your dog will need to understand when play time is over and how to be quiet. You may want to consider taking the dog to basic training which will help both you and the dog in the new environment – it will make you a better, more responsive dog owner, and it will help you keep your canine companion comfortable in the new place. You know your dog better than anyone. You know what may provoke a defensive
