EMC news – In his first public meeting in south Ottawa since becoming chief of police, Charles Bordeleau told a crowd of about 30 people that he is dedicated to fighting gangs and guns, violence against women and tackling traffic and safety issues.

“My first priority around managing police services is to ensure that we live in a safe community,” Bordeleau told

a packed room at the Greenboro Community Centre on May 22.

The meeting, hosted by Gloucester-Southgate Coun.

Diane Deans, provided residents with a chance to meet and speak directly to the chief of police about major issues and concerns affecting their neighbourhoods.

“This is the first opportunity that residents of Gloucester-Southgate ward have had to formally meet

the chief,” said Deans.

She added that the “Meet the Chief Night” was an opportunity to introduce Bordeleau who is also a resident of the ward and as well talk about safety in the community.

“We all want to feel safe where we live. We want to be free to walk on our streets at night or take public transit. We want our families to be safe from speeding vehicles in our neighbourhoods and we want our parks to be places where our children can safely play,” said Deans.

Bordeleau said public meetings are critical to establishing relationships with communities.

“These forums are a great

opportunity for us to sit down and have a candid discussion on what the issues are from your perspective and to tell you the great work that our people are doing in the community,” he said.

He said for the police to provide good service “you (the community) need to trust us and you need to have confidence in our ability.”

“These meetings are critical to our success in building our relationships of trust and mutual respect,” he added.

Bordeleau vowed to be tough on crime, especially when it comes to guns and gangs.

“We are seeing too many young kids getting involved in gang-related activities that

have resulted in shootings,” he said.

“It is a priority for me to continue holding offenders accountable and also to continue educating people.”

People at the meeting raised questions about park and pathways safety, traffic concerns and ways to volunteer with Ottawa Police.

Insp. Patrick Flanagan who was also on hand, spoke about the role police services play as partners in community building.

“We would like you to think of us as your neighbours - and good neighbours make good neighbourhoods,” said Flanagan.

Noisy university students on police radar, says police chief

R0011377702

“Integrating in the community is key for us.�

Flanagan noted that for the past couple of years residents in the ward have listed vandalism of property, speeding and

aggressive driving, break-inners, identity theft and graffiti as their top five priorities.

Students’ noise and partying is another issue that was raised at the meeting.

In the past, home owners in the South Keys area have

complained about noise and bylaw issues in the neighbourhood. Residents have often complained about the amount of partying that happens regularly on their streets. “It is very much on our radar and we have engaged Carleton University, bylaw people as well as the South Keys Greenboro Commuity Association,� said Flanagan. “These are noisy parties, over drunkenness and general rowdy behaviors especially on weekends and major holidays.�

Overall, residents were

happy with what police was doing and are excited to work with the new police chief. “I was looking to hear his impressions on how intends to approach crime and safety and public well,� said Marnie McKinstry, president of the South Keys Greenboro Community Association.

For Julie Hauser, president of the Upper Hunt Club Community Association, it was a good opportunity to meet the new chief and get an idea of what his plans are for Ottawa and to get to know him better. “It is always good for any

Royal swans were released into Rideau River from the Brantwood Park on May 24.

Royal swans return to Rideau River Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – Twelve royal swans were released into the Rideau River on Thursday, May 24 to continue what has become a longstanding Ottawa tradition.

Forty five years since the first royal swans were released into the river, 12 of their descendants took to the water from the Brantwood Park in Old Ottawa East.

Mayor Jim Watson, who was on hand to release the swans, said the release of the swans signifies a rite of spring

and that this year can serve as a glowing recognition of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee. “As we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s ascension to the throne, this is a small reminder of our ties to the commonwealth and to the monarch,� said Watson.

The royal swans are descendants of the original swans presented to Ottawa by Queen Elizabeth II to mark the city’s centennial in 1967.

A few year later, a pair of black Australian swans was received from the MontrĂŠal

Zoo and their descendents are also still in Ottawa.

Watson noted that as the nation’s capital, the gift of the royal swans represent the city’s rich heritage and culture and will be enjoyed by residents and tourists who stroll, cycle or drive by the Rideau River. “For the citizens of Ottawa and for many tourists, it is nice seeing the majestic white and the Australian Black swans float through Rideau River,�

Watson added.

Since 1967, the swans have made Rideau River their

In a release, Coun. Mark Taylor, chair of the community and protective services committee, said Ottawa is very fortunate to have the royal swans as they complement the beauty of the city. “This is an exciting time of the year (when) we release the swans into their natural habitat.�

The city reminds the public not to feed the swans as it may cause harm to their health and if they notice that a swan may be in distress to call 311.

Ruth’s Appointment Calendar Used To Be The TV Guide

Hydro Ottawa proudly participated in the United Way Community Builder of the Year Awards on May 17. The event celebrated the contribution of exceptional individuals and organizations that have helped shape our community.

For the third consecutive year, Hydro Ottawa sponsored the celebration’s Turning Lives Around award, which was presented to Maison FraternitÊ. The award recognizes those who help the homeless, people with mental health and addictions problems, and those in crisis get the support they need.

Maison FraternitĂŠ was honoured for their work with Francophone youths struggling with alcohol or drug addiction. Their services include an in-school intervention service and a residential day program. “Organizations like Maison FraternitĂŠ do so much to make Ottawa a better place. It’s an honour to help recognize their dedication to our community through the Community Builder Awards,â€? said Bryce Conrad, President and Chief Executive OfďŹ cer at Hydro Ottawa.

Hydro Ottawa and its employees are strong supporters of the United Way. Through employee donations and corporate matching dollars, Hydro Ottawa’s United Way campaigns have raised more than $1 million over the past 11 years. “Contributing to the well-being of our community has always been a part of Hydro Ottawa’s core mandate,� said Conrad. “Each year our employees generously give back to the community we serve.�

Helping others only natural: CHEO volunteer Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

From left, Alvi Rahman, Sasha Kearney, Edna Cummings, Alex Munter, Jean Voth (Volunteer of the Year Award winner), Flo Morgan and Maureen Tourangeau at the ceremony to honour CHEO volunteers held on May 23. the hospital. “In the very beginning it was impossible to think of having a children’s hospital here. Nobody wanted it and nobody thought it was necessary except the mothers,� she recalled.

Tourangeau said she hopes to see the spirit of volunteerism continue. “I hope that we are not the last generation to do this,� she said.

Alex Munter, president and chief executive officer of CHEO, said the hospital only exists today because of the work of dedicated volunteers who, back in the 1960s,

raised awareness, argued the case and generated support to make the idea of a children’s hospital a reality. “CHEO would not be able to deliver on its mission without the active engaged commitment of volunteers in all parts of the operation,� said Munter.

He described the volunteers as passionate, dedicated individuals who are making a real difference to the hospital and its community.

The association also presented student bursaries, each valued at $2,000, to Sasha Kearney and Alvi Rahman to support their studies.

R0011305015

To be eligible for the bursaries, student volunteers must invest a minimum of 100 hours at CHEO, as well as provide letters outlining how they give back to their communities.

“This bursary is the start of the next step to my life. It will help me get through my education,� said Kearney, a student at Mother Teresa Catholic High School. CHEO’s volunteer association supports

volunteers and community resources to enhance the care given to children, youth and families.

EMC news – For the past 15 years, Jean Voth has volunteered at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, but never expected anything in return.

When she was announced the winner of the 2012 Volunteer of the Year Award, she was shocked.

Every year the award is given to the CHEO volunteer who has made the most outstanding contributions to the hospital, its staff and its patients.

On May 23, the Volunteer Association of CHEO named Nepean resident Voth the volunteer of the year for her outstanding care she has provided to patients and their families. “I am humbled. I am still in shock but that is the way it is,� she said.

She said volunteering seems only natural, adding that she has been fortunate to have done it at CHEO. “It is a great honour and I am very happy I was chosen.

Once you start volunteering it just gets into your blood and you anxious to do it and it becomes part of you,� said Voth.

Voth has volunteered two mornings a week on the infant and toddler ward where she helps keep children’s mind off their hospital stay by playing with them.

She cuddles babies when their parents need rest or cannot be with them, and helps families to make their hospital stay less difficult.

Dee Derby, president, CHEO Volunteer Association, said the hospital staff rave over Voth’s positive energy, her empathy and her selfless care for patients and their families. “They are grateful for her on-going commitment to the unit over all these years, always finding a way to prioritize the children and CHEO�.

Derby noted that it was the volunteers who pushed in the first place to have a hospital dedicated specifically for children in Eastern Ontario. “I don’t know any organization or hospital that could possibly exist without the volunteers,� she said. “Everyone appreciates the importance of CHEO and everyone is more than willing to step up to the plate and volunteer.�

The association also honoured volunteers with long service awards.

Edna Cummings and Flo Morgan for were recognized for their 40 years of volunteering while Maureen Tourangeau was recognized for her 45 years of dedication to CHEO. Tourangeau has volunteered since 1967, when she joined the first hospital auxiliary in Ontario. She was part of a group of volunteers that pushed to have a children’s hospital in Ottawa. “It is very nice to be recognized,� said Tourangeau, who helped set up the gift and coffee shop that raised money for

Three-month senior summer membership for under $99

Alta Vista ward Coun. Peter Hume, left, with the O’Donnell – van Shaayk family who won the Trash 2 Cash garbage pickup contest.

Alta Vista family wins ward’s bi-weekly trash challenge Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – A young family in Alta Vista received a $1,000 prize towards their property tax for completing the Trash 2 Cash contest started by ward Coun. Peter Hume.

Bi-weekly garbage pickup will start across the city in November, and Hume introduced the five-weeks challenge to prepare his ward residents by offering this incentive.

The O’Donnell-van Shaayk family were announced the winners of the challenge at a community event at the Kilborn Allotment Gardens in Alta Vista.

“We figured bi-weekly garbage pick up is coming regardless, and we decided we should as well give it a shot when there is a chance to win something,” said Chris O’Donnell.

He said the first two weeks were a bit challenging but af-

ter that it was quite an easy transition.

“There was extra garbage, but it was really not so bad.

We are indeed excited about winning,” O’Donnell said.

The challenge was organized to get people used to reducing their waste, and hopefully show them how easy it is to fill their green bin instead of filling their garbage.

Hume said it is important to get people lots of advance notice to prepare for a change of policy or service.

“The challenge was put up to see if our residents could manage a bi-weekly garbage pick up that is coming to Ottawa this fall,” he said.

Hume said 165 signed up to participate with the majority of challengers succeeding in going garbage-free for the required three weeks out of the five.

Several households took the challenged a step further and managed to stay garbage-

free for the entire five weeks of the challenge.

“The results were quite outstanding. I didn’t expect we would get that many people.

It was a great success,” said Hume.

Participants who entered the contest were required to put out their garbage every two weeks from April 16 to May 20 and use their green, blue, and black bins to handle their recyclable waste.

Each week they were also required to fill out a survey answering questions on how it went and submit a photo of the bins at their curbs.

“Community enthusiasm was evident throughout the challenge,” said Hume.

“While all the participants were required to submit a photo of their cubside refuse each week, several families began sending creative photos incorporating costumes, family members, and stuffed animals.”

Great Battery Roundup underway Free car battery pickup available EMC news - Want to get a jump start on your spring cleaning? CAA North & East Ontario (CAANEO) is charged up for the annual Great Battery Roundup campaign.

Until June 2, the campaign provides pick-up service and drop-off locations for old batteries in several municipalities throughout eastern Ontario.

In addition to safely recycling your derelict automotive and marine batteries, for every used battery that CAANEO collects, the club will make a donation to an environmentally-friendly organization or event. In previous years, the Great Battery Roundup has assisted Scouts Canada with their tree planting program.

The Great Battery Roundup is free to all CAA members, as well as the general public and businesses. In Ottawa, call 613-820-1400 to have your old automotive batteries picked up at no charge.

Automotive batteries, also known as lead/acid batteries, contain 10 kilograms of lead,

three litres of sulfuric acid, and a plastic case.

More than 98 per cent of these materials can be recycled and used to create new batteries.

CAANEO reminds individuals of the dangers that can stem from handling an automotive battery.

Take care to protect yourself by wearing gloves, long sleeves and safety glasses, and ensure batteries remain upright and in a plastic, leakproof container during transport.

Keep sparks and flames, including cigarettes, away from batteries at all times as this could cause them to explode.

Faking relaxation the greatest challenge

I

don’t know how to relax.

I come by it honestly on both sides of the family.

No one – not my mother, father, brother, aunts, uncles or cousins – can sit contentedly still. Add to that my occupation as a journalist on daily deadlines and you’ll often find me in a state of pent-up anxiety: My mind, of course, stimulated, racing and exhausted; my body twitching from lack of activity.

It’s the reason I signed up for a beginner’s relaxation workshop a few weeks ago at a local yoga studio. “Learn how to be calm with Becalm Balls.” I read the poster each afternoon for weeks as I waited for the school bus. Finally, two days before the course, I took the plunge. Maybe, I thought, this could just be the antidote to my restlessness.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse Heavily pregnant and, at the time, suffering from a sore sacroiliac, I dug my old hand-me-down yoga mat out of the spare room closet, put on some stretchy pants and a t-shirt that barely covered my belly.

Always the procrastinator, I was running late and it looked like rain, so I sprinted the 750 metres to the studio. I walked into the lobby panting and sweating.

It was painted soothing shades of green, with a

little water feature. I took a deep breath and allowed my journalist’s eye to examine the studio.

There were six people in the room. They all looked incredibly calm. One woman was already cross-legged and meditating. That’s when I knew I was in trouble.

I caught a glimpse of my oversized self in the mirror: My hair was falling out of the pony tail, my pregnant belly popping out of the t-shirt, and the bottom of my stretchy

pants wet. We had to wait a few moments for a participant who was late – well, later than me. The instructor, a slim, tanned, sixty-something with a soothing voice, told us to just get comfortable. I spent the next 15 minutes pulling cushions and blankets out of the cupboard, alternating between leaning against the wall and lying on my side with a pillow between my knees. Eventually I stood up and started pacing, while massaging my sacroiliac.

Finally, the course began.

The owner of the studio – a participant in the course – tried to help me find a suitable starting position, while we listened to the guest instructor. He was explaining the purpose of the balls, how they were to “hammock” one’s head, sitting on two

No plans for a Findlay Creek school in near future: board Eddie Rwema Eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – Even with a site available, the Ottawa Catholic School Board has no immediate plans to build a new elementary school in Findlay Creek, said Alison Baizana, trustee for Barrhaven /Gloucester – South Nepean.

“They don’t have the population required for us to get approval for a new school,” she said.

Baizana said there has to be a certain number of potential students in order to get approval for funds.

“There is land set aside by the school board for future development; however it is difficult to get approval from the Ministry of Education to build a new school without having capacity requirements.”

Currently there are about 220 junior kindergarten to Grade 6 elementary students residing in the Findlay Creek area attending Catholics schools outside their community.

Of those 185 attend St. Thomas More Catholic School, which trustee Baizana said is not at 100 per cent capacity.

According to Baizana, building a new school in Findlay Creek would mean taking students away from a school that is currently under-utilized and building a new one that would also be significantly under utilized.

She said St. Thomas More is currently able to accommodate students from Findlay Creek with no overcrowding or the need for portables.

St. Thomas could drop to under 50 per cent

utilization should students from Findlay Creek be redirected to a new school at this time, she said.

Baizana said that staff at the board continues to monitor growth of the community and when time is right she will be pushing to have a new school.

GROWTH COMING

“When the numbers are there I will be a huge proponent of it. It is exciting to build a new school in a new community,” said Baizana.

“I am certainly hopeful that we will get approval for that when time comes but at this moment, the ministry wouldn’t even consider our request. They have guidelines and we haven’t met the utilization guidelines.”

Meanwhile, parents with children attending public schools have launched a vigorous campaign to demand the public school board build a new school in Findlay Creek.

Early this month, the Findlay Creek Community Association launched a school age survey to understand how many children in the community that are attending or would be attending a public elementary school.

Currently, about 250 children living in Findlay Creek attend Ottawa Carleton District School Board schools outside the community.

Area public board trustee Mark Fisher said the need for an elementary public school in Findlay Creek has become a significant issue given the neighbourhood’s rate of growth.

Dollars, advice available for local tree planting EMC news – Landowners interested in planting trees on their idle land starting in the Spring of 2013 will get help from conservation authority staff.

If you have the land and the desire to leave a family or community legacy, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) has grant dollars and technical expertise to help you create your own future forest for the grand kids, for the environment or just for the heck of it.

The RVCA provides free, one-on-one site visits by forestry professionals who can help develop customized planting plans to suit your individual objectives and property needs.

If you have a minimum of 0.4 hectares of land and are interested in planting a minimum of 500 trees, the RVCA has programs that provide significant subsidies to reduce the costs.

In fact, landowners with three acres or more of suitable land are eligible for subsidies that reduce costs by over 90 per cent.

The RVCA has a long history of planting trees throughout the watershed. Since 1983 the RVCA has planted more than four million trees. This spring’s planting has just wrapped up with 230,000 being planted on private land throughout the watershed.

The RVCA has several stewardship programs. Call an RVCA resource specialist to learn more at 613-692-3571, ext.1128 or 1132. You can also visit www.rvca.ca for more details.

very specific places at the back of the skull. A short history of sacro-cranial therapy and an hour later, we were ready to lie on our backs and place the two Nerf-like balls on a string in the magical position. “These balls will help you go so deep,” promised the instructor, “you’ll feel like you’re in China.”

I placed the two balls on the back of my head and lay down. Nothing happened. I adjusted them slightly and lay down again. Nothing.

The instructor noticed I was fiddling, so he came over to help me.

Gently, he adjusted the balls and felt the back of my head for the two magic spots.

He whispered, “Is that it?”

“No,” I said. He wiggled them a little bit. “How about now?”

“No.” He removed them

completely and touched my head again, and repositioned me on top of the balls. “Okay, I found the spot. How does that feel?”

“Great,” I lied. I felt nothing, but sometimes you just want to make the guy feel like he’s pleased you and allow him to move on.

I lay there for 20 minutes, my eyes closed, the balls hammocking my head, my sacroiliac aching under the weight of my belly, my mind racing. When the lights went up, I smiled, thanked the instructor for a lovely time and sprinted home in the rain.

“Mommy, you don’t look very relaxed,” said my fiveyear-old when I raced through the front door. “Nope,” I said, “but I brought you a present.”

His eyes lit up as I handed him the balls on a string.

A case of putting off the hard work

D

espite a recent vote against a proposal

by Mayor Jim Watson to look at shrinking the number of representatives around the council table at city hall, councillors should start taking a reappraisal of Ottawa’s current ward system seriously.

Watson’s proposal to initiate a study of the city’s ward system in comparison with other municipalities, based on a campaign promise to reduce the number of councillors,

may have been abrupt, but the problem the mayor is aiming to address looms over city hall all the same.

Some of the councillors who voted against the proposal cited a formal review of Ottawa’s ward boundaries in 2015 as reason enough to delay tinkering with council seats. Others suggested the $250,000 cost of an early review would be a waste of money. But perhaps they’re just putting off the hard work for another day.

Ottawa’s current ward system, born of amalgamation, would be exposed as inefficient under any reasonable scrutiny. When compared with other large Canadian municipalities, Ottawans are over-represented. On average, each councillor in this city represents 40,154 residents, significantly lower than an average of the top 11 comparable muncipalities in both size and form of government, which stands at 53,346 residents for each councillor.

For the sake of further comparison, Calgary has the fewest elected representatives by population among the 11 cities, with one councillor for every 78,345 residents. On the low end is London, Ont., which has one councillor for every 26,154 citizens. Toronto (1 to 59,433), Brampton, Ont. (1 to 52,391) and Surrey, B.C. (1 to 58,531) fall around the average.

Some simple arithmetic reveals that for Ottawa to move towards the average,

about six councillor positions would need to be eliminated, a number that is close to what the mayor had suggested.

Why look at axing councillors? There are several compelling reasons. Ottawa is changing rapidly, with significant growth occurring in urban, suburban and rural areas of the city. The current system was distilled from the former municipalities, boundaries that no longer hold the same meaning as they did in 2001. At a minimum, taking a look at ward boundaries to see if they still make sense would be a useful exercise.

Each councillor represents added cost. While it is hard

to put a price on democracy, clearly some cities are able to do more with less. Shouldn’t Ottawa’s council at least consider if it’s possible to do the same? And while the current council has avoided much of the cacophony that characterized the last, fewer voices around the council horseshoe may in fact make it easier to be heard above the din.

Democratic reform is unpleasant business that no one, from self-interested politicians to disinterested voters, ever seems willing to tackle. But if councillors aren’t interested in considering such an exercise now, will they be any more ready in 2015?

Leaving room for nature in the woods CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

A

s you look forward to the next big long weekend – Canada Day – you might want to reconsider your attitude toward fireworks. For some people, the long weekend just past was the first time they became aware of the notion that fireworks are not all fun and games.

Perhaps it was because there were more of them this year. Oddly, given the supposed dire conditions of the economy, cottagers engaged in expensive competitions as to who could make the loudest noises for the longest time.

For three nights, it was as if the lake were under attack. It may still be going on, for all we know.

What do we learn from this? Among other things, some people still have too much money.

As recently as a few years ago, the summer fireworks season was small-scale and relatively harmless. A family would go down by the lake and set off a few, then stop after a few minutes.

But now there are more families with more fireworks and a kind of war of the eardrums has set in.

If it was just us, just people, we could endure it, even enjoy it up to a point. But there is more and more evidence that fireworks do more than disturb the peace. They also frighten wild animals, for which fireworks season is nesting time. The good clean fun fireworks lovers are having around the lake sets off a frenzy of fearful activity amongst the animals. According to a recent cottage newsletter, fireworks can be louder than gunshots or jet plane engines, so the terrified reaction of animals is not surprising, especially since many of them have a more

acute sense of hearing than we do.

Animal rights groups have been aware of this for years, but the idea has not penetrated the public consciousness until recently. This is odd because dog owners are keenly aware of the problem. The Internet is full of advice to dog owners about how to deal with the intense fear that many dogs have. Dog owners are urged to play loud recorded noises in the weeks leading up to a major holiday to get dogs used to it. The owners are offered various medications they can offer their pets. The option of not having fireworks goes unmentioned.

Human beings, of course, don’t mean any harm. We don’t set out to make life miserable for animals. However, we accomplish that quite easily just by being ourselves.

We set out to have fun and don’t really notice that anyone or anything is inconvenienced.

Or, for that matter, killed. A recent CBC radio documentary focused on the number of wolves and bears that are slaughtered each year around Banff National Park. And how do we accomplish this? With guns? With traps? No, we hit them with cars and trains.

More and more of us take those highways every year, where we stand a good chance of running over something that didn’t expect a highway to be there or, for that matter, know what a highway is. The irony of it is much of the killing is being done by people in a hurry to get to the park so they can see the animals.

Canada is not, relative to others, a crowded country. Still, people are moving into spaces that recently belonged mostly to animals. The animals are not used to having people around and don’t know what to do. When people begin acting like people – that is, driving cars around and making loud noises – nothing good can come out of it.

The kinds of recommendations you see to cure this generally involve banning people from being people. That hardly ever works. Persuading people to think is a more promising avenue, although hardly fool-proof. For a supposedly sentient species, thinking is not always what we do best.

Big boost to roads, bridge construction: Chiarelli Province to spend $79 million on local highways

to be complete in 2014. â&#x20AC;˘ Advance pier work on the Hurdman Bridge over the Rideau River, expected to finish by the end of this year, to prepare for the work on Highway 417 in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s east end. â&#x20AC;˘ Replacing the Carling Avenue westbound and Kirkwood Avenue bridges, expected to finish at the end of 2013.

FOUR PROJECTS

The Ontario Ministry of Transport has announced it will invest $79-million in highway-widening projects and bridge work in Ottawa this year.

Ontario is investing $2.4 billion in road and bridge construction projects across the province this year, said Minister of Transport Bob Chiarelli during a press conference held in Kanata on Friday, May 25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our government is improving infrastructure across the province, while creating jobs and strengthening our economy,â&#x20AC;? said Chiarelli, MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean.

The investment is expected to create 2,700 jobs in eastern Ontario during the construction season.

Highway improvements announced in Ottawa include: â&#x20AC;˘ Widening Highway 417 from Nicholas Street to Ottawa Road 174, expected to be complete in 2014 â&#x20AC;˘ Widening Highway 417 from Eagleson Road to Highway 7, including high occupancy vehicle lanes in each direction from Moodie Drive to Palladium Drive, expected

The $79-million investment is for all road construction in the Ottawa area this year, including the four announced projects, said a ministry spokesperson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never in the history of Ottawa been that intensity of highway construction, in bridge construction,â&#x20AC;? said Chiarelli.

The construction work will help loosen congestion for commuters on Highway 417, said Chiarelli. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes life more enjoyable for people not to have to wait in those traffic jams,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The Ontario government is investing $12.9 billion in infrastructure projects this year, the secondhighest amount in provincial history, said Chiarelli.

Council rejects shrinking size Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A fight to shrink city council may not be over yet.

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, who committed to cutting council seats during the 2010 municipal election, said a 15-9 council vote doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spell the end of a movement to reduce how many wards represent the citizens of Ottawa.

Council voted against Mayor Jim Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to review the option of reducing the size of city council during a May 23 meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(There are) other ways in which a boundary review can be initiated,â&#x20AC;? Blais said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly a council vote isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only way,â&#x20AC;? he said, referring to a provision that kicks off a ward boundary review if a petition with 500 signatures is submitted to the city.

Blais had drafted a motion to kick off the ward review and was ready to give notice to council on May 23, but the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office requested he hold back, Blais said.

Bringing the proposal forward in a different way could have led to a different outcome, Blais said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we could have finessed the support,â&#x20AC;? Blais said.

That comment came after Mayor Jim Watson, who made a similar promise to cut costs by axing four to six seats from the 23-person city council, lost his hurried bid to look at

that possibility.

City councillors voted 159 against getting options for a study looking at reducing the number of wards and city councillors in Ottawa, which the mayor said could save the city $2 million every year.

While a leaner council was alluded to during the election, the mayor has stayed mostly mum on the idea until his monthly online â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ask Jimâ&#x20AC;? chat on May 17. After responding to a residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s question about his promise to reduce councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size, the idea picked up steam.

On Tuesday at 5:30 p.m., Watson sent a memo to councillors informing them that he would ask for councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rules to be waived the next day so councillors could discuss and vote on whether to study the possibility of reducing the number of city wards and councillors.

Watson said he knew the issue would be divisive and personal to councillors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit like when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asked to vote on your own salary,â&#x20AC;? Watson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit uncomfortable,â&#x20AC;? he added, asking councillors to â&#x20AC;&#x153;put that asideâ&#x20AC;? for the debate.

Councillors were concerned about the estimated $250,000 cost for the ward boundary review and said that there are more important issues facing the city right now, including the Lansdowne Park redevelopment and the upcoming light-rail transit system.

The 15 councillors who

voted against the idea said residents are not clamoring for the change. Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli said he has not received one call or email asking for the change, and the only comment he received in person was that reducing councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size is â&#x20AC;&#x153;easy and catches the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention, but it has no effect.â&#x20AC;?

Councillors agreed, saying any savings would be clawed back because councillors would require more staff to keep up with the increased workload, or there would be more pressure on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bureaucracy.

The functionality of city council depends more on how well the councillors work together than their number, said West Carleton-March Coun.

Eli El-Chantiry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see our staff time wasted on this review,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about rural, suburban and urban anymore â&#x20AC;Ś Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for us to work together.â&#x20AC;?

Going ahead with the review would have exacerbated that urban-suburban-rural divide, said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(It would) end up pitting councillors against councillors and neighbourhoods against each other,â&#x20AC;? Chernushenko said.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt, one of the most outspoken opponents to the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea, said shrinking council could reduce representation in the rural areas.

Over 63,335 participants made the 2012 Cleaning the Capital spring cleanup a very successful campaign!

Between April 15 and May 15, community volunteers joined in to keep Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks, roadways and green spaces, clean, green, graffiti and litter-free.

Thank you to participating schools, neighbourhood associations, community organizations, businesses, families, friends and individuals who participated in the challenge.

We hope to see you all again for our annual Fall Cleaning the Capital campaign in September 2012.

Thank you to our many sponsors who made our campaign such a great success.

Falling deeper into a dark place The increasing number of adolescents seeking care for mental health issues has skyrocketed, but stagnant funding is straining the system Brier Dodge

tion started in January 2011.

First, they went through their own wait-list of clients who wanted access to counselling, before opening up the clinic for others. Originally one day a week, it expanded to two days this past October.

“When they wait, their situation deteriorates,” Gravelle said, of the children and youths. “That helped clients, knowing that when they need service, they could just come by.”

And it’s been what a large percentage of their clients needed.

April 2011 to March 2012 saw 680 clients come to the walk-in – and 67 per cent didn’t need referrals for future services, taking some pressure off CHEO.

brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - It would be a heartbreaking experience for any mother.

Kathy Brunsdon sat by the phone for a week at her Stitsville home, making call after call, concerned about her 15-year-old daughter Hannah.

Daron Richardson, a 14-year-old girl who lived nearby, had recently died of suicide.

And Kathy was concerned that Hannah was displaying the warning signs she was reading about. She already had a psychiatric referral in at CHEO, but hadn’t heard anything back.

“I don’t remember anything,” Hannah, a Canterbury High School student, said about the time. “I felt like I was hovering above myself. It was just a horrible time.”

Kathy waited.

“I hadn’t heard back and Daron Richardon’s suicide happened and I started to panic,” she said. “I tried calling for an entire week, leaving a message every day. I sat right there by the phone. I don’t remember moving from the phone, just waiting and waiting and waiting.”

Since then, mental health services for youth throughout the city have seen a spike in demand.

SPIKE

In 2011, CHEO saw 1,479 psychiatric crisis visits to its emergency department, mostly teenagers with depression and anxiety related issues. That’s 50 per cent increase in two years, served by the same 25 beds and staff numbers that the psychiatric ward had in 2009.

CHEO has stated that in Ontario, one in five youth have some type of mental health problem, but only one in six of those get the help they need. That means for every 30 youth in Ontario, five have mental health problems that may go untreated.

Ottawa has seen a swell of awareness in the media and at public events since the high-profile death of Daron Richardson, daughter of Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson in November 2010, and Jamie Hubley in October 2011, city councillor Allan Hubley’s son “Certainly in November 2010, over a couple of week period of time we saw this remarkable increase,” said Dr. Hazen Gandy, director of child and adolescent mental health services at CHEO. “We expected the volume of business to return to the consistent level, but it’s continued since then.”

It’s a cause and effect that has spiralled out of control, leading youth and parents alike through traumatizing months on a waitlist before they can get treatment.

Comparing CHEO’s increase in demand for psychiatric services to 10

‘BUMPY RIDE’

Brier Dodge

Hannah, left, and Kathy Brunsdon were thrown into a complicated youth mental health system when Hannah, now 16, was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in 2010. The Brunsdons were put on a waiting list in 2009 around the time of Daron Richardon’s death – a time period that saw a spike in demand for youth mental health services.

other hospitals is hard – children’s hospitals vary significant in catchment area and size, and the detailed mental health statistics only began to be released in 2011.

But CHEO had more than 1,400 visits to the emergency room for mental health issues in 2011, the greatest number in the province.

The second-highest demand in Ontario was at the Children’s Hospital at the London Health Sciences Centre with 845. The third, Lakeridge

I’m trying to make things better and I can’t because there’s nobody to help me, nobody to guide me.”

KATHY BRUNSDON

Health Corporation, saw 625.

Gandy said overall emergency room visits have gone up, but the increase in mental health visits exceeds the overall increase.

“There are other places seeing a fairly significant increase, so I don’t think we’re alone,” he said. “But certainly in eastern Ontario, we’re seeing substantial increases.”

The youth psychiatry program at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre serves referrals for 16 to 18years-old from CHEO’s emergency room, so the demand has hit the program just as hard.

“We started seeing some increase at the end of 2009, but there has

Ottawa South EMC - Thursday, May 31, 2012

been a big surge since Daron Richardson, and then that was followed

by Jamie Hubley,” said Dr. Smitta Thatte, youth psychiatry clinical director. “And it hasn’t stopped.”

In 2009, Thatte said the department had 10 to 12 referrals a month – today, they see 25 to 30 youths a month.

“Definitely more than a two-fold increase in referrals,” Thatte said.

“There is always somebody waiting.”

Campaigns like Do it For Daron – an awareness campaign for recognizing mental illness and reducing stigma – has helped identify many more youth who can benefit from help.

“You’re told that it will be nine months (on the waitlist),” said Kathy. “And OK, but someone just died. And supposedly the parents didn’t know at all, there were no cues. And here I am, and I’m trying to make things better and I can’t because there’s nobody to help me, nobody to guide me.”

Gandy said he hasn’t seen an increase of parents crying wolf, and CHEO truly is seeing more patients who have significant mental health issues coming forward.

“When they said that I must have a mental illness, it was right around the time they started Do it For Daron,” Hannah said. “So that was a huge part of my story, being able to realize, and realize that it’s OK. And to realize I needed to get help before it turned into something that I wasn’t able to be in control of.”

It’s an increase that has forced

every mental health organization in Ottawa to respond and make changes in the way they offer services, including permanent changes to their day-to-day operations.

CHEO has stopped taking any elective cases, meaning waitlists for services to support children with ADHD or anxiety disorders have been stretched even further.

MORE WORKERS

They’ve hired more crisis workers to cover evenings and weekends and have asked other partners, like family physicians, to provide more mental health care.

“We’ve really shifted our resources for acute care, and that’s allowed us to manage the trends,” Gandy said. “It’s robbing Peter to Paul. It’s not like we’re adding new resources.”

The Youth Services Bureau (YSB) has been one of the partners to step up to try and fill the gap.

Francine Gravelle, director of mental health services at the YSB, has responded with a walk-in clinic that can help before youths get treatment somewhere like CHEO. “A five month waitlist (at the Royal or CHEO) isn’t realistic,” Gravelle said. “Not all should be waiting when a few (counselling) sessions can provide them with the support they need.”

YSB runs a variety of mental health services, including shortterm and long-term counselling, but the walk-in clinic, held twice a week at their Carling Avenue loca-

“As one parent said, it’s a bumpy ride,” Gravelle said. The walk-in clinic provides a buffer zone for clients in the grey area between incrisis and at risk of suicide.

Seeking treatment for youth mental health can be tough.

“I think this is a great time to be looking at how the different groups and agencies can partner together, and there are solutions,” Gandy said.

Resources can be funded through the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, or Ministry of Children and Youth Services. YSB is funded by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, while CHEO gets funding through the Ministry of Health.

“This whole system is somewhat fragmented,” said Thatte. “So really the parents and the patients don’t know which door to go in, and many times they are referred to different places.”

The consensus is that a better network of services needs to be formed to support one another, and to provide integrated care.

“The reality is, the system is complicated. It has silos, it’s not easy to navigate,” Gandy said.

“How do all these agencies begin to talk to each other to make it easier to get the right service at the right time?”

And for Hannah and Kathy, a mother and daughter who spent hours researching and studying the course of treatment, they would like to see prevention taught earlier.

Hannah ended up on a ninemonth waitlist for CHEO and eventually, after insurance covered some private treatment, was able to get help at the Royal, which had a shorter waitlist. She participates in YouthNet at CHEO, a support group that doesn’t require a doctor’s referral, and runs a gender-specific group session, as well as organizing therapeutic arts and recreation activities.

Ottawa Fury looks forward to a great 2012 season Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC sports - She is a bigtime player that scores bigtime goals, who dominated every game she played last season.

Mallory Outerbridge is one of the 26 players who will play on the Ottawa Fury women’s team this season.

She was the 2011 W-League most valuable player and league’s top scorer, becoming the highest single-season scorer in Fury history with 17 goals, which helped the team finish the regular season with a league-high 37 points.

“I am thrilled to be back,” said Outerbridge. “I came back because I had an absolute blast last year and I want to have another good season because Ottawa Fury is great place to play.”

She led the Fury to a perfect 25-game unbeaten record in the regular season and she looks forward to a new season.

Outerbridge has always been a team player and attributes her success to the team behind her. Even when named MVP, she shares that accomplishment with the team, saying it was a “team effort, a team trophy”.

Unveiling his 26-player roster at a press conference on May 24, reigning W-League Coach of the Year Dom Oli-

“We are one of the best WLeague clubs in the league that hasn’t one the championship,” said Oliveri.

Ottawa Fury owner John Pugh hopes to building on a solid track record of strong regular seasons and playoff runs, to take their success to the next level this season.

“Today we look forward to 2012 and beyond,” said Pugh Over the past 10 years, Pugh said the team has accomplished a lot and that there is a lot in the horizon for soccer fans in Ottawa.

“These are exciting times for soccer in the city,” he said.

Soccer fans in Ottawa will have another extra reason to celebrate this summer as Ottawa hosts the finals of the 2012 USL W-League Championship, one of the most important women’s championships in North America.

“There’s quite a treat in store for soccer fans and what a way to showcase our city,” said Pugh.

According to Pugh, there isn’t anything fulfilling like winning the championship before your home crowd.

“After stepping aside for

personal reasons, we are delighted he is able to return to the helm.”

Unveiling his 25-man roster, O’Kane said the players he recruited this season are a passionate, hungry and determined bunch that are proven

winners and want to continue their development and winning ways here in Ottawa “I am here to learn how to win and how to compete again,” said O’Kane who guided the Fury to its first playoff berth in 2009.

EMC news - The auditor general should investigate provincial â&#x20AC;&#x153;threatsâ&#x20AC;? of withheld gas-tax money that led Ottawa to choose the Presto transit-fare system, says Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren.

On May 22, MacLaren sent a letter to the provincial auditor general requesting a review of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;solesourceâ&#x20AC;? contract with Presto, a smartcard fare payment system set to launch in Ottawa on July 1.

The cards are already in use in the Greater Toronto Area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems that the province threatened to withhold provincial gas tax funding if the city didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t award the transit payment system contract to Presto,â&#x20AC;? MacLarenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s May 24 press release states.

In an interview, MacLaren said it is not appropriate for the province to require cities to adopt the Presto system in order to gain access to gas-tax money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want oversight and accountability,â&#x20AC;? MacLaren said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It eliminates the opportunity to tender and get a competitive bidding system.â&#x20AC;?

MacLaren wondered why Ottawa didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pursue a smartcard payment system used by the City of Gatineau provided

by ACS, a division of Xerox.

While MacLarenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call for a provincial audit focuses speciďŹ cally on Ottawa, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know the same troubles are going on in other areas.â&#x20AC;?

Ottawa has had a partnership with Presto since 2007.

That pre-dates the provincial governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gas tax program, making MacLarenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s argument irrelevant, said Liberal Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli, the minister of transportation.

Chiarelli said these questions came up in the media and at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park years and months ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an old issue â&#x20AC;Ś we dealt with it,â&#x20AC;? the minister said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(MacLaren) might not be aware of the facts that were made available,â&#x20AC;? Chiarelli said, adding that MacLaren was â&#x20AC;&#x153;being really politicalâ&#x20AC;? about the issue.

Presto is an Ontario government initiative â&#x20AC;&#x153;born out of recognition of a need for a cost efďŹ cient, consumer focused transit e-fare system,â&#x20AC;? according to an independent procurement review.

That review, conducted in

February of this year by former Ontario Supreme Court Justice the Coulter Osborne, states that in 2004, technology ďŹ rm Accenture was awarded the contract to provide services and equipment for the fare system in a competitive process that was monitored by a fairness advisor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Presto procurement was open, transparent and competitive,â&#x20AC;? Chiarelli said.

Presto is overseen by Metrolinx, a Crown agency that coordinates transit initiatives in the GTA and Hamilton.

So far, the province has invested $163 million into the Presto system.

Ontario has committed to paying one-third of the capital costs for municipalities like Ottawa to set up a Presto system.

EMC news - A small mixeduse development at 164 Main St. will be getting a reprieve from the city to the tune of $18,258.

City council agreed to waive that amount in development charges for the project, which has been delayed since 2007 as the city worked with the developer and community members to adapt the proposal.

The city wanted the building to have retail or commercial use on the ground ďŹ&#x201A;oor

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not normally done, but city lawyer Tim Marc called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sympathetic case.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning committee approves something against the recommendations of city staff, but the report indicates that staff canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support any exemptions to the development charge bylaw. one vote Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the precedent of making exceptions to the rule, so he was the lone councillor to vote against waiving the fees.

As a condition of waiving the development charges, the building will have three residential units, commercial at ground level and no front-yard parking.

Ottawa on the run Thousands participate in 5-km, 10-km, half and full marathons during Ottawa Race Weekend Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – Thousands of athletes flocked to the city last weekend to take part in Ottawa Race Weekend Saturday, May 26 and Sunday, May 27.

Saturday’s events included 2-km, 5-km, 10-km races, totalling nearly 20,000 participants alone that day.

Another 9,900 took part in the half marathon, and more than 4,300 ran the 42.2 km marathon that wound through the more scenic areas of Ottawa and Gatineau on Sunday morning.

The weekend also included a half marathon walk, a marathon walk, a wheelchair marathon and a kids’ marathon.

The top three marathon winners were all Kenyan men,

who travelled to Ottawa to run the race.

The first Canadian to cross the finish line was Rejean Chiasson from Toronto, in 12th place.

The first Ottawa resident to finish the marathon was Pascal Renard in 26th place.

Thousands of volunteers manned water and nutrition stations, directed traffic away from routes and ran a recovery area for finished runners.

Spectators also came out in droves.

Even along the quiet side streets that kept runners out of Ottawa’s busier commercial strips, residents lined up with drums, bells, signs and cheers – even offering the occasional high five - to help the athletes meet their goals.

By: Your local Family Physiotherapy Team Second only to the common cold for being the most frequent cause of time off work, back pain always seems to be lurking around the corner. 85% of adults between the ages of 30 and 65 will have back pain at some point in their lives that will cause them to seek advice from a health care provider.

The most common causes of low back pain include: 1) Lumbar strain/sprains 2) Disc herniations (discs act as cushions and shock absorbers between each individual vertebrae)

Strains and sprainsoccur when either muscles or ligaments abnormally stretch

or tear. A disc herniation is when a disc ‘bulges’ out from between vertebrae and put pressure on the spinal nerves and cord. Symptoms of a disc bulge with nerve compression may include sharp shooting pain, numbness, tingling,and weakness into the legs. Both injuries are likely to occur as a result of over use, poor conditioning, and improper body mechanics while lifting and stressing the spine.

Most episodes of back pain last a few days and are resolved within a few weeks.

The first 1-2 days are the most painful and it is recommended to have your back evaluated by a healthcare practitioner.

The city awarded contracts to begin construction at Lansdowne Park, including the historic Horticulture Building.

Horticulture Building mover sole-sourced Heritage moving company the only one qualified for Lansdowne project: mayor Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Accusations of a lack of competitive bidding for the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park didn’t stop the city from solesourcing the contract to move the historic Horticulture Building at the site.

Last week the city announced the contractors hired to do the first work to ready the city-owned property in the Glebe for redevelopment, but the Horticulture Building contract was handed to CDS Building Movers without a competition.

Mayor Jim Watson said the company is one of the only options in eastern Ontario for moving heritage buildings.

“It’s a very precise business and there are not a lot of companies that do that or are able to do that,” Watson told reporters on May 23.

Watson said he prefers to run competitive bidding processes whenever possible, but the city’s fairness commissioner oversaw the awarding of the Horticulture Building contract and it falls within the city’s rules because it is a specialized service.

The latest numbers approved by the city in April include a total of $10.3 million in work related to the Horticulture Building: $5 million to move the structure, $1.3 million to renovate it to be used as event space, an info centre and perhaps a café or restaurant – plus another $200,000 to relocate memorials and do related work and $3.8 million to rebuild the building’s foundation.

The city also awarded EllisDon Corporation the contracts to construct the foundation for the relocated Horticulture Building, to demolish the Coliseum Building, excavate and remediate soil around the Coliseum and Horticulture buildings and other work, including relocating utilities. That contract was subject to competitive bidding.

EllisDon’s work should begin in June and be completed in November. Structural works to stabilize the relocated Horticulture Building will be ongoing until March 2013, according to a city press release.

Bronson Avenue construction moves along Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - The intersection of Gladstone and Bronson avenues will be closed to traffic starting on July 3 for six weeks as the city continues the work of replacing aging water mains along the major downtown thoroughfare.

The two-year, $30-million reconstruction of Bronson Avenue is currently underway, with the city having completely closed a section of the busy road between Catherine and Somerset streets on March 27. Gladstone had remained a through street, but will close on July 3.

According to a traffic study done in 2009, the street typically sees nearly 20,000 vehicles per day drive through from Christie Street to Gladstone, while more than 26,000 vehicles per day drive through from Gladstone to Catherine Street.

Vehicles will be rerouted during the road closures.

At a recent Centretown Citizens Community Asso-

ciation meeting on May 14, Bruce Kenny, the city’s senior project manager, updated residents on the project.

Most were interested about the traffic number, Kenny admitted there have been challenges, but all in all, so far the construction project has been going along successfully.

“There is no question, we knew there would be an impact to the neighbourhood and we are keeping an eye on the concerns,” Kenny said.

In an attempt to give the busy road a “main street” feel, the reconstruction project will implement features to identify the street as a pedestrian area, such as the installation of pedestrian lighting, street furniture and public art work.

“Sidewalk widths will also be increased to a minimum of two metres and maintenance of any existing sidewalks greater than two metres,” said Ziad Ghadban, manager of design and construction for the east.

The intersections at Glad-

Bronson Avenue and Gladstone will close on July 3 for the $30-million reconstruction of Bronson Avenue currently underway. stone and Somerset will also be updated to provide a calmer traffic flow and thwart aggressive driving, with the intention to improve cycling

connectivity and safety.

Ghadban said other measure will include a reduction in the crossing distance across Gladstone and Somer-

set to help improve pedestrian safety.

“To further identify to drivers that Bronson is a pedestrian-friendly location,”

Ghadban said.

There will also be traffic signal will be installed at Arlington Avenue.

“The addition of this traffic signal will slow traffic, improve cycling connectivity and improve pedestrian crossing safety,” Ghadban added.

More trees will be added to the street, all in an effort to help identify to drivers a community-friendly area requiring slower speed.

With the amount of concrete on the street currently, the trees will be watered through soil remediation tactics.

“We support sidewalks and tree growth,” Kenny said at the meeting.

The major works completion date for this section of the project is Dec. 30.

The section of Bronson Avenue between Somerset Street and Laurier Avenue will be closed during the next summer construction season in 2013. That project is anticipated to be complete by October 2013.

Gold and Silver Coins Selling for Highest Prices in Over 30 Years Due to Weak Economy and It’s Happening Right Here in Nepean/Ottawa West!

By DAVID MORGAN STAFF WRITER

ICC will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this week asking people to bring in any old silver and gold coins made before 1968 and U.S. coins made before 1970. Those that bring in their coins will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their coins looked at by a specialist. With the help of these ICC members, offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1968. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1968 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies. Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot.

If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors also known as ICC. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections. If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector and ICC member. One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007.

While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICC and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold, says Helms. Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes can be worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on common coins made of silver. Helms explains that all U.S. half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1970 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise.

Right now it’s a sellers market he said.

The rarest coins these collectors are looking for include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 gold coins and any coin made before 1850. These coins always bring big premiums according to the ICC. Silver dollars are also very sought after nowadays.

Other types of items the ICC will be purchasing during this event include U.S. currency, gold bullion, investment gold, silver bars, silver rounds, proof sets, etc. Even foreign coins are sought after and will be purchased.

Also at this event anyone can sell their gold jewellery, dental gold or anything made of gold on the spot. Gold is currently trading at record high prices. Bring anything you think might be gold and the collectors will examine, test and price it for free. If you decide to sell, you will be paid on the spot – it has been an unknown R0011428182-0531

Wood-burning furnace rules miss the mark, residents say

School Trustee Zone 7

EMC news - Ottawa doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have its new rules for wood-burning furnaces quite right â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yet.

That was the message from both, owners of the heat-producing boilers and neighbours perturbed by the smoke the devices spew onto their properties.

Approximately 20 people gathered at the old Goulbourn town hall on May 23 to hear about new zoning rules aimed at providing some regulation for outdoor wood burning boilers, also known as outdoor hydronic heaters.

The standalone devices are common means of heating homes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and sometimes pools â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in rural areas and many municipalities have laws regulating when and where they can be placed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except Ottawa.

The issue was ďŹ rst brought to the attention of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agriculture and rural affairs committee on Jan. 13 by Carlsbad Springs resident Dan Renaud and Glen Roberts of Cumberland.

The boilers are generally used in rural areas, but there is nothing stopping someone in Westboro or Vanier from put-

OCDSB Budget Committee passes staff budget proposal Dan Renaud

These photos show the smoke emitted from a wood-burning furnace. The city is looking to regulate how close to neighbouring homes people should be allowed to install the standalone heating units. ting one on their property.

Renaud and Roberts detailed their frustrations of having neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wood-burning boilers directly adjacent to their properties. If the stack isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tall enough and the boiler is close to a neighbouring home, heavy smoke can drift into a neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property.

In Renaudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, he says it has prevented him from work-

ing at his carpentry shop in the spring. For Roberts, the concern is health. His wife, Catherine, has a chronic cough and must use a puffer, which the couple attributes to the smoke coming from their neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wood-burning boiler.

With those considerations in mind, the city drafted new

rules that would prevent people from putting a boiler on their property if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small lot. The proposed rules also include provisions for how far away the unit must be from a neighbouring home and how tall the smoke stack must be.

Your Children’s Aid Home Alone Summer is almost here, and families are preparing for holidays. It’s hard to believe that the end of the school year is only 4 weeks away, and for some, planning for child care over the summer holidays can be extremely stressful, complicated, and expensive.

Especially challenging for parents is finding appropriate care arrangements for children over the age of 10.

The ultimate question at this time of year, is ‘at what age can a child be left home alone or to care for others’?

Leaving a child unattended under the age of 10 is in contravention of the criminal code, and the CAS of Ottawa does not recommend that parents leave a child under 12 to care for other children.

Although the law has determined that children over the age of 10 can legally be left unsupervised, it is the responsibility of the parent to ensure that regardless of their age, children under the age of 16 are safe or in the very least make provisions for their safety. This means ensuring a proper readiness and safety planning for children or youth who are left alone.

Making this decision can be stressful for parents, who need to consider a wide range of factors when determining when their child is ready to be home alone. For example, is your child able to make sound decisions as it relates to their ability to handle emergency situations? Are their surroundings safe? How long will they be left alone? For some parents who consider these factors, it may become evident that even their 14 year old is not ready. For older youth for whom being left alone can lead to boredom related risky behaviours, there are a wide range of challenging and engaging recreational activities in the city to keep them busy. Involving teens and preteens in the planning of their summer activities may also help to ensure they will have fun and stay safe throughout the summer For more information on leaving children home alone call 613-747-7800.

The best of the east and west region qualifiers were at the Terry Fox track at Mooney’s Bay on May 23 and 24 to prove who was the best and fastest in the city. The winners move onto the next qualifier on the way to provincial championships, unlike many other city sports, where national capital winners would qualify directly to the provincial championship.

Residents want new rules for wood-burning furnaces From WOOD page 17

But some residents at the May 23 meeting said the city missed the mark.

The setback distance is too large and would be impossible to achieve even on some larger lots, residents said, and the requirement to have a smoke stack higher than a neigh-

bour’s roof could mean boiler owners might have to build a 12-metre-high stack in some cases.

Those issues will be looked at when staff revise the proposed rules, said Derrick Moodie, a city staffer from the rural affairs office.

Mike Westly, who lives on

R0011390941_0510

Flewellyn Road, said the city shouldn’t need to regulate the boilers.

“A lot of my neighbours have been burning wood for years and they wouldn’t put it in a spot to annoy neighbours,” he said.

“That’s just the rural mentality.”

Jamie Johnston of Carp agreed, saying that it doesn’t make sense to regulate where people can put a wood-burning boiler if there are no restrictions on wood-burning heaters inside homes.

Others said the city is trying to regulate the wrong thing. Instead of saying where wood-burning boilers can go, the city should regulate the emissions and what kinds of materials can be burned.

Wilder said that would be difficult for the city to do because it’s not only expensive, it’s outside the city’s jurisdic-

tion.

Roberts was frustrated that the proposed rules wouldn’t help his situation because it would only apply to new units, not those that are already installed.

“Unfortunately we can’t solve all the problems that exist, but it’s looking at preventing more problems in the future,” Moodie said.

Geraldine Wilder, another city planner working on the project advised that many people around Ontario have been successful in civil lawsuits regarding neighbours’ disruptive wood-burning boilers.

The proposed rules will go to the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee and then city council for debate and approval. If approved, they would be enforced based on complaints called in to the city.

EMC news - Elvis is back and he is ready to rock - in a rocking chair - at the final Rock-A-Thon fundraiser for the Glebe Centre on June 2.

It is the 15th year the centre has hosted the rock-a-thon fundraiser and it will be the last according to Karen Joynt, manager of development for the non-profit long-term care centre, who said a new fundraiser will be introduced next year to garner more attention and attract new volunteers to the cause.

“It started because a group of volunteers wanted to help and raise money and now it is a staff issue and staff job so next year we are looking something where volunteers would want to participate,” she said.

Even though the centre has 300 volunteers who provide more than 20,000 hours

of time each year, Joynt said something like the rock-athon could have used more volunteers to help.

She wanted this year to reflect the fun of the past and to go out with a bang, inviting back an Elvis impersonator who appeared at the very first event to bookend the 15 years of the event.

“Elvis appeared at the first one and he will be here for the last.” Joynt said.

Over the years the event has raised more than $250,000 for the Glebe Centre. This year, the centre staff is hoping to reach a $20,000 goal.

Participants can pledge to rock in a rocking chair to help raise money or can contact Joynt to donate directly to the centre.

The money is for programming at one of the centre’s buildings, Abbotsford House.

This community centre hosts programs for more than 900

clients and members.

The Rock-A-Thon event is described as a block party, where residents, family, friends and neighbours can all come out to support the centre and have a good time. Along with oldies from the king himself, Sneezy Waters will also be performing. A barbecue and a table of chance, where hopefuls can purchase tickets for the chance to win Metro gift cards, will also be offered.

There will also be a play-area for children.

Joynt said the party always offers up a good time.

“For me it is seeing the residents and the families out,” she said. “They come out and sit and enjoy the day, there are kids coming and going, that’s the best.”

The fun begins at 11 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m. at the centre, located at 950 Bank St. Donations will be accepted on the day, but to pledge, learn

Consultants offer update on interprovincial bridge study Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - The National Capital Commission announced at a May 24 media briefing that round two of the interprovincial bridge public consultations will begin on June 5 in Gatineau and June 12 in Ottawa.

The firm in charge of the interprovincial crossing environmental assessment, RocheGenivar, held a technical briefing on the latest study findings and announced specific preferred routes for the crossing had been identified in each of the three corridors examined in the assessment.

The firm’s representatives, Christopher Gordon and Raynald Ledoux, were accompanied by Peter Makula from the Ontario ministry of transportation, Paul Baby from the Quebec ministry of transportation and Fred Gaspere from the National Capital Commission for the briefing.

“As we move forward our hope is the public will help us,” Gordon said.

The consultations for Ottawa-area residents will take place at the Shenkman Arts Centre on June 12 and at the Maison du Citoyen on June 5 for Gatineau residents.

The assessment study will help determine the best place

for a bridge across the Ottawa River, which will add another link from Quebec to Ontario and help re-route trucks from the downtown core.

The two-year study of the bridge’s three corridor options, Kettle Island, Lower Duck Island and McLaurin Bay, is now in its second phase. During the briefing, the technically preferred alignments were revealed for each corridor.

The Kettle Island/Corridor 5 proposed route would cross from Gatineau at the Rockliffe Parkway and then run along Aviation Parkway to Highway 174. Montreal Road would have an off/on ramp.

The Lower Duck Island/ Corridor 6 proposed route would circle around the island to the south shore and run east into the greenbelt and then connect with Highway 174.

McLaurin Bay/Corridor 7 route would also run south through the greenbelt, connecting to the highway further to the east from the proposed Corridor 6 route.

The aim for the next round of consultations is to tweak these alignments to ensure the best option is chosen taking into consideration a number of mitigating concerns from each corridor.

Consultations to help chose these options were held in February. Further meetings

were held with public representatives in March and April, including a briefing on May 23.

Gordon said they invited public representatives from each of the affected corridors.

Lori Assheton-Smith from Rockcliffe Park was among those who attended the May 23 meeting.

“While we’ll need some time to review and digest the material that the NCC consultants have just released, there remains a sense of frustration that the fundamental question still hasn’t been answered, why is this bridge really being built?” she said.

Assheton-Smith is not alone in having questions about the bridge. A number of residents and municipal representatives remain uncertain of the NCCled process that will decide the future location of the proposed inter-provincial bridge.

“Whether it is five, six or seven, they all affect my ward,” said Tim Tierney.

The Beacon Hill-Cyrville councillor has been present at all the meetings and he said he is yet to be impressed with the answers given.

“There were not a lot of answers today,” Tierney said.

“It is much of the same frustration.”

One question that remains is where truck traffic will be

directed. Tierney questions whether the traffic will ever be diverted completely from King Edward Avenue.

The consultants included truck traffic assessments as part of the briefing, with a projection of what the traffic would look like by 2031.

This new round of consultations includes four options to address the truck traffic issue and the public having input on the final option.

“It has become clear that a new east-end bridge won’t solve the problem with the downtown trucks, it will just spread the pain to other neighbourhoods and in fact it will create new headaches and significant costs regardless of the location that is ultimately chosen,” Assheton-Smith said.

Gordon pointed out another way people can participate during this round is by going online at www.ncccrossings. ca.

“We have established a web-based tool for the public to help evaluate the process,” Gordon said.

Assheton-Smith would like to see more discussion about whether the bridge is necessary at all and whether it is worth the cost.

“Even if a bridge can be built that adequately mitigates the impact on people and communities - something we dis-

Roche-Genivar consultants, Christopher Gordon and Raynald Ledoux answer questions about the latest information on the interprovincial bridge crossing environmental study on May 24. pute - can we afford the cost of both the bridge and the mitigation?” Assheton-Smith asked.

“Will mitigation be dropped from the budget once the project, in any of the corridors, is approved and underway?”

In response to concerns about the consultation process, the NCC has put in place other measures to ensure the consultation process is fair.

Over the years, Vanier residents participated in walking tours focused on cleaning up the streets. Now in their fifth year, the group has less garbage to clean and more time to dedicate to promoting the neighbourhood.

Eyes on Vanier takes new track Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC community - After years of picking up garbage or tackling crime, a community-led initiative in Vanier will spend this summer promoting the neighbourhood.

The Eyes on Vanier walking tours began five years ago as an anti-drug and prostitute and cleanup initiative organized by Crime Prevention Ottawa and run by residents. The walks focused on cleaning up the streets, but were also about making new friends, catching up with old ones and making new connections in the neighbourhood.

Marguerite Beaulieu, cochairwoman of Vanier Beautification, said these social aspects will become the number one priority of the walks as a way to get to know the neighbourhood better.

“These walks will be very interesting,” Beaulieu said. “It

will be social, all about getting to know your neighbours and getting to know your community.”

The announcement was made at a meeting of the Vanier Beautification group on May 15.

“What happened was when we started off, it was really dirty and there were about 25 residents at the begging, armed to clean up the streets,” Beaulieu said. “Now, there are about five or so who come out and there just isn’t the same amount of garbage to clean any more.”

The new goal will to organize special event walks or themed walks. The garbage battle is not entirely over, she said, but more walks will be about highlighting Vanier’s history and architectural or organizing evenings out for various residents in the neighbourhood.

“Maybe there will be a toddler and tot walk or a lets go

for a beer walk but the main thing is it is not always going to be about picking up garbage,” Beaulieu said.

A Jane’s Walk event held in Vanier over the May 5 weekend was credited for shifting the group’s thoughts on the summer walks.

With a focus on historical homes, the sugar bush in Richelieu Park, the cenotaph on Hannah Street and briefings on the city’s 311 and 911 services and graffiti, the committee was pleased with the success of the weekend.

“It was very informative,” Beaulieu said. “We even had people from Rockcliffe and Orleans came out to hear about Vanier.”

Beaulieu said more information on how and when these new walks will start is still under discussion, but interested participants or organizers in Vanier can contact the committee at vanierbeautification@ gmail.com.

Ottawa South EMC - Thursday, May 31, 2012

EMC news – A Churchill enthusiast from Manotick has finally realized his dream of celebrating Sir Winston Churchill on Canada’s Parliament Hill.

After years of collaboration and planning, six original pages of the 30-minute speech Churchill delivered to Canada’s House of Commons in December 1941 are currently on display at the Parliamentary library, along with a video clip of part of the speech.

Manotick resident Ron Cohen is founding president of the Sir Winston Churchill Society of Ottawa, and is the definitive bibliographer of the British Prime Minister.

The famous speech was delivered to Canada’s wartime MPs just three weeks after the United States joined the war, and was one of Churchill’s first public appearances in North America.

The six pages, which are typed but include handwritten notes from Churchill himself, are some of the most significant and memorable from the 22-page message, Cohen said.

They include parts written and delivered in French, as well as Churchill’s infamous retort to French generals’ speculation that “in three weeks England would have her neck wrung like a chicken.”

Churchill had Canada’s parliamentarians in stitches when he told them, “some chicken! Some neck.”

Cohen worked with the Churchill Archive Centre at Cambridge University in the UK, and Canada’s Parliamentary Library.

The library played a pivotal role in designing the exhibit.

Cohen said it was the archive centre that was the real hero in bringing the pages to Canada.

“They’d been looking for a while, and I’d been talking to their director for years about finding some way to

bring something to Canada,” he said.

Cohen said the parliamentary speech is significant to Canada’s history and our involvement in the war.

“It was the first and only time that Churchill spoke to our parliament and that is a significant event.

It was especially important because we were in the midst of the world war and Churchill had been an inspiration to the world,” Cohen said.

“Churchill had had to inspire the free world to the idea that they could survive against the Nazi juggernaut.”

Cohen said the pages still

hold lessons for Canadians today.

“The speeches are inspirational, and what Churchill stood for is inspirational.

He’s got lessons for all of us even today. He wrote his own speeches.

He was a man of principle and an admiral leader,” Cohen said.

The exhibit includes the iconic Churchill portrait taken by celebrated Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh, which Cohen said was taken right after Churchill delivered his speech in the House.

Cohen said if visitors look at Churchill’s left-hand pocket, you can see pages stuffed inside – some of the same pages that are now on display.

“He literally stuffed the pages of the speech in the left hand pocket,” he said.

Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre said he is proud that Canada is the first place outside the UK to showcase the speech.

“So much of what Churchill said and stood for stands true today,” he said.

The exhibit will be on display until June 27.

Visitors to the Parliament of Canada can see the exhibit by calling 613-996-0896 to reserve a spot on the special guided tour.

Savoury versions such as these are traditional with this popular flat bread.

Focaccia can also be made with sweet ingredients, however, for an entirely different flavour.

Experimenting one day, I decided to add freshly-grated orange rind and raisins directly to the dough while it was being mixed in the bread machine.

Once the dough was shaped into a circle and ready for the oven, I brushed the top with olive oil, then sprinkled it with a bit of sugar.

The focaccia smelled wonderful as it baked and tasted even better.

Focaccia bread is very easy to make using a bread machine to prepare the dough.

Ride for Dad this weekend

EMC news - Ottawa’s Telus Motorcycle Ride For Dad has launched its 2012 fundraising campaign, marking the beginning of a month-long fundraising initiative to gather support and pledges for their motorcycle ride being held in Ottawa on June 2 in support of prostate cancer research and awareness.

The ride will be a day of fun for a serious cause. Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed men’s cancer. One in seven Canadian men will be diagnosed with this disease in their lifetime.

“Prostate cancer is a needless killer for men,” said Jim Summers, co-chair of the Ottawa chapter. “The more the community is aware and educated about prostate cancer, the less chance there is to lose the men in our lives to this terrible disease. The Telus Motorcycle Ride For Dad not only raises funds to fight this disease, but it also gives men and their families a reason to talk about it” The Ottawa ride is the largest across Canada. In 2011, it raised a record breaking $415,000 for prostate cancer research and awareness and had the highest number of participants of any Ride For Dad event at 2,350.

This year organizers are aiming even higher with goals of raising $500,000 and having over 2,500 riders participate.

To help the ride reach its goals, Freedom Harley Davidson of Ottawa is donating a Harley-Davidson 883 Iron motorcycle to give away to

one lucky participant on ride day.

The ride is Canada’s largest annual motorcycle event dedicated to fighting prostate cancer through research and

awareness.

The Ride for Dad has grown to include events in over 30 cities in every province in the country.

Promotion Period: Jun 1 - Jun 7, 2012 Ottawa Store only Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated in memory of Chiu Yuan, a famous patriotic poet during Chu dynasty; he was well respected by the publics for his upright personality. In order to prove his honesty and as a form of protest against the corrupted dynasty, he plunged himself into the river. The locals jumped into their boats and rushed out to search for him. To prevent his body from being eaten by the fish, they beat the water furiously with their paddles and threw rice dumplings wrapped in silk into the river to distract the fish.

Because Qu Yuan died on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, people decided to commemorate him on that day every year. Dragon boat racing and eating rice dumplings have become the central customs of the festival.

Contentious wake zones cancelled in Manotick Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Submitted

Doors Open Ottawa From left, Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches, Mayor Jim Watson, Claude Sauvé, Fairmont Château Laurier general manager and Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury hold the new plaque presented at Doors Open Ottawa events to celebrate the centenary of the Fairmont Château Laurier.

EMC news – Parks Canada is making waves in Manotick after it revealed plans to remove two contentious No Wake zones from the Rideau Canal through the village.

Parks Canada is replacing signs for No Wake zone two from Manotick Bridge to the southern tip of Long Island and zone three from Collins Point to the Manotick Marina with educational “Watch your wake” signs instead.

Currently the No Wake zones dictate boaters go 10 kilometres per hour, or dead slow. Once the signs are replaced, boaters will only be asked to create minimum wake, without a speed restriction.

“In downgrading the restrictions in zones two and three from ‘no wake’ to ‘minimal wake,’ Parks Canada is counting on the support and respect of this change by the boating community to ensure that identified safety risks are addressed without creating over-reaching restrictions for all recreational users,” said Don Marrin, superintendent of Parks Canada’s Eastern Ontario office, in a statement.

The No Wake zones were installed before the 2011 boating season, much to the chagrin of boaters who already had to keep a dead slow speed through two other zones between Eccolands Park and

Kelly’s Landing.

At the end of the boating season in November 2011, Parks Canada hosted a public consultation where many residents expressed opposition to the new zones. The zones were supposed to remain for the 2012 season, with staff promising privately-facilitated consultation in the spring.

He said efforts to arrange facilitated public consultation for the 2012 season was “unsuccessful,” but consultations will be pursued again in the future.

Peter Hurst, owner of Hurst Marina near the Rogers Stevens overpass south of Manotick, said the news is positive for the many residents and boaters who were against the zones.

“Without much input from anybody, (Parks Canada) suddenly put all these restricted areas that just annoyed everybody. All these people have boats on the river and it was taking them forever to get to a place where they could use them,” he said. “This will simply put things back to how it used to be.”

Not everyone is happy with the decision to revoke the No Wake zones, however. Pete Marshall lives inside zone two, where the channel narrows just south of Mahogany Harbour.

He said the zones have helped control speed and wake, at least to an extent.

“It’s nice to have them come through at a leisurely pace rather than having them make a wake,” he said.

Marshall said that while the system isn’t perfect and not everyone obeys the signs, at least there are signs there to remind people of appropriate speeds through the channel.

“If you take them away they think whatever speed they go is acceptable,” Marshall said.

Marshall’s neighbour Del MacKenzie has lived on the point for 36 years, and said he’s happy the 10 kilometre speed sign will be replaced with a more general “Watch Your Wake” sign.

“That’s what it should have been all along. The speed at which they should go depends on the boat,” he said, explaining that bigger boats can sometimes make bigger wake going dead slow while smaller boats can go faster without much wake. “Speed isn’t the issue, it’s the wake.”

Parks Canada received a commissioned multi-year report from a private risk management consultant, who had conducted resident and business surveys and analyzed incidents resulting from high speeds and big wakes in the region.

Consultant Jim Wright made a number of recommendations including the creation of the two wake zones that have now been cancelled.

EMC news - Katalin Sheskay, a two-term trustee with the Ottawa Catholic School Board, died suddenly on May 17. She was 61.

The funeral was held on May 24 at the Sacred Space of the Beechwood Cemetery National Memorial Centre 280 Beechwood Ave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Katalin brought her longtime passion for helping others to the board table,â&#x20AC;? said board chairman Mark Mullan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her dedication to supporting her schools and many community causes made her a valuable member of our board of trustees.â&#x20AC;?

Mullan said he was shocked when he ďŹ rst heard the news of Sheskayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, but worked quickly to inform his fellow board members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It certainly was a bad day,â&#x20AC;?

Mullan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had been suffering from some health issues, but no one expected a

heart attack.â&#x20AC;?

He said he will miss the dedicated trustee, as her heart was always in the right spot.

Sheskay represented the Beacon Hill-Cyrville/ Gloucester school zone since ďŹ rst elected in 2006. An active member of four board committees, she also sat on the board of directors for the Catholic Education Foundation of Ottawa and was a strong supporter and fundraiser for The Waupoos Foundation.

Robert Du Broy, a member of the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors, ďŹ rst met Sheskay more than nine years ago, when she was then fundraising for the CHFI radio station.

The Waupoos Foundation needed more community support, so he turned to Sheskay.

According to Du Broy, Sheskay has always had a passion for the underdog or for people in need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reaching out to enough supporters and I

Mrs. Beam builds ‘moose’ of a scarecrow

I

t looked like we were going to have a bountiful garden that year. The tomatoes were already high enough to be staked and we were picking away at the bright green lettuce leaves for sandwiches.

It was when the peas and green beans started to sprout that Mother grew concerned that if she didn’t do something fast, the crows, the squirrels and the rabbits would be feeding on them before we did.

It was a problem that had to be discussed with Mrs. Beam. She was the one everyone in the Northcote area went to if the issue couldn’t be handled on their own. She delivered babies and treated all minor illnesses. And she generally could give advice on everything from making soap to who were the best

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories customers when peddling produce in town. Yes, it was time to call on Mrs. Beam.

She came and went right to the garden.

She took one look at what passed for a scarecrow, a slat of wood stuck in the ground with an old plaid shirt of Father’s hanging over it and made clucking noises like a Leghorn hen. “That wouldn’t scare away a hummingbird,” she said.

It was obvious she wasn’t going to leave until a decent scarecrow was in our garden.

She hollered at Everett who was cleaning out the henhouse. She pointed to the drive shed, crooked a finger at Everett and they both headed for the open door where Father kept his tools and odd pieces of wood.

Mrs. Beam pointed to two long pieces two-by-four and ordered Everett to nail them in the shape of a cross. It was so big, I wondered how he was going to get it out of the shed. But between him and Mrs. Beam, it was lugged over to the garden. On the

way out of the drive shed, Mrs. Beam grabbed a shovel and it sure looked like she meant business.

She went right to the centre of the garden. With her right foot jammed onto the shovel she started to dig.

When the hole was deep enough to her liking, she ordered Everett to stand the thing up in the cavity and then she proceeded to anchor it with the dirt. She gave it a couple of good whacks with the shovel and told Mother to get some of Father’s work clothes out of the house.

“And bring a straw hat too,” she bellowed.

Mrs. Beam was well prepared. She had grabbed a hammer and nails from the drive shed and instead of putting the overalls on the wood frame, she nailed them to the two-by-fours, but the plain

shirt was put on the cross bar, the straw hat anchored to the top with more nails and the job was finished. It looked like a 10-foot giant standing in the middle of the garden.

“That should do it,” she said, standing back and planting a gum-rubbered foot right on a patch of green lettuce.

She assured Mother nothing would come near the garden. A scarecrow that size, she said, would scare off a moose.

The day passed. Occasionally I would take a peek out into the garden and it seemed to be working. There wasn’t a bird or rabbit in sight.

Father, who didn’t believe in scarecrows, never said a word other than he hoped Mrs. Beam hadn’t used the good nails he had just bought

at Briscoe’s General Store.

The next morning, just after breakfast, I went out to take a look at the scarecrow.

It was still there all right. But on one of the boards representing an arm, there were four crows and on the other outstretched arm a squirrel was eating a belly full of something. I knew not what, but was reasonably sure it came out of the garden.

I ran in the house to tell Mother. She headed for the garden waving a big tea towel in the general direction of the scarecrow. The birds just looked at her and never moved a muscle until she was almost on top of them.

Mother said she thought she should call Mrs. Beam again.

Father said to save her energy. Gardens had been planted on that farm for three generations, and something you just put up with were crows, squirrels and rabbits.

“Mrs. Beam better stay with delivering babies,” he said under his breath.

Nature showcased in time at National Gallery Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - A new exhibit at the National Gallery invites visitors to stop and smell the roses. Photos and paintings of roses, that is.

The show, titled Flora and Fauna: 400 years of Artists inspired by Nature, opened at the Sussex Drive gallery on

May 11, where it will be on display until Sept. 9.

“I think there is something for everyone,” said Andrea Kunard, associate currator for the museum. “That is the nature of the exhibit.”

The works on display in the exhibit were chosen to tell the story of how an artist can view nature.

From a large sarcophagus

covered in butterflies in the entrance to a wall-sized inkjet mural of flowers in Lebreton flats, the show covers a number of differnet mediums mediums.

Each room of the exhibit focuses on a particular theme, with a bit of overlapping here and there, Kunard said, adding that many months of planning went into the project.

‘I am so thankful’: Hélène Campbell Tears of joy as Barrhaven organ-donation advocate honoured by PM, dances with doctors after double-lung transplant Hélène Campbell has a name for her new lungs: Gratitude.

“Which is ‘attitude’ with a ‘Grr, ‘” she said, in her first public appearance since surgery, during which she danced, held her mother’s hand and showed that shyness is no issue.

The 21-year-old Ottawa woman is a phenomenon trending on Twitter Thursday afternoon after her hour-long news conference to a media throng.

“Waiting on the transplant list is one of the hardest things I have ever been through, “ she said. “I am fortunate enough that those lungs were there in time for me. But there are people who wait up to two years or some people don’t even get that gift.”

Continuing her awareness campaign and asking Ontarians to register at beadonor.ca for organ and tissue donation will continue to be her priorities, she said, along with going to school.

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his wife, Laureen, presented Campbell with the Diamond Jubilee Medal. That honoured her “tremendous work raising awareness of the importance of organ donations and obviously your personal courage in all of that, “ said Harper, who visited Campbell’s Toronto apartment.

“You’ve been a great inspiration to many, many Canadians and people have seen you worldwide, and you should feel very good about that.”

Campbell - who suffers from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a degenerative disease of the lungs - vowed Thursday to honour the life-saving gift of new lungs that came April 6 just in time, after her health plunged into a scary state.

Of about 1,000 lung transplants performed at Toronto General Hospital, hers was one of the most difficult, said Dr. Shaf Keshavjee, who heads the lung-transplant program. He addressed the media along with Dr. Gary Levy, head of the hospital’s multiorgan transplant program.

Both praised Campbell’s social-media savvy.

“Every day, I take 54 meds and taking those pills for me has been a challenge, “ Campbell said. “Every time I take those meds, I think of that family, I grieve the loss and I am so thankful to them for what they were able to do in such a difficult time and give me that chance. I will never forget how blessed I am to receive this gift.

“I have a voice, I’m able to breathe, and for me, that’s a miracle.”

Her father, Alan, demonstrated her ability to inspire by sharing stories of some of the

dozens who have contacted their website, alungstory.ca.

Though Campbell remained poised and exuberant, her mother, Manon, choked up while talking about this second chance. “All of us, our family and friends, are looking forward to see her dance on the Ellen show, “ she said tearfully.

Ellen DeGeneres’s promise to bring Campbell to Los Angeles to dance on her show not only ratcheted up awareness for organ and tissue donation, but has given everyone following the young woman’s progress a goal.

The vibrant Campbell demonstrated a dance move she said she perfected last year, when she was in Barcelona to learn Spanish. She refused to dance alone, insisting her parents and doctors dance with her, with arms outstretched, waving back and forth.

She’s enjoying other simple pleasures, such as her beloved Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and taking a shower standing up. “Let me tell you that is the best thing I’ve been able to do in a long time, “ she said.

Campbell described watching her bronchoscopy on a monitor. “I was able to see the connective tissue where the donor’s lungs and my lungs met, “ she said. “That moment for me was just life-changing, to see where my body and

Community organizations support Bill 13 Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Community groups offered their support to the Accepting Schools Act during hearings in Ottawa on May 22 focusing on the antibullying legislation the provincial government is looking to put in place before the new school year.

“The Accepting Schools Act offers real change and supports youth initiatives in ways that we have never seen before,” said Jeremy Dias, founder of Jer’s Vision, speaking at the hearing.

If implemented, the act would introduce tougher consequences for bullying and hate-motivated actions, up to, and including, expulsion from school.

It would also require all school boards to support students who want to promote gender equity, anti-racism, understanding and respect for people with disabilities and people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, including groups with the name gay-straight alliance or other such names. It would also add a definition of bullying to the Education Act. The meeting, hosted at the Ottawa Mariott Hotel by Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, saw a number of community representatives speak in favour of the bill and about

the importance of making a changes sooner rather than later.

“We have a responsibility to take leadership in bringing this legislation through,” Naqvi said. “When I hear about a young person taking their life, I feel I am failing in my job and that is why we are trying to implement this quickly.”

But critics of the bill say by going quickly, the government risks leaving out the views of others in the province. Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod said she is working hard at making sure those people have a voice.

“Over 85 per cent of people oppose this bill and there has been a strong reaction from the public,” MacLeod said.

Benoit Mercier, president of the Franco-Ontarian Teachers Association, spoke at the hearings and was asked by MacLeod if he had had adequate consultation on the bill.

The short answer, Mercier said, was no.

MacLeod supports a competing bill, which she is designed to prevent bullying, create awareness and provide bullying prevention, including using restorative justice, an approach which focuses on the needs of the victims.

“This notion (restorative justice) has been left out of the conversation,” MacLeod said.

Michelle Nash

Community groups in support of Ontario’s comprehensive anti-bullying legislation, Bill 13, the Accepting Schools Act held a press conference on May 22 endorsing the bill and called for quick action before another school year begins.

She said she will fight the government’s proposal clause by clause with the aim of making solid amendments.

But for Angela Cameron,

an assistant law professor at the University of Ottawa and a lesbian mother of two young girls, it is about making a difference.

“We have marriage, we have the ability to adopt, but let’s extend that legal protection to our children,” she said.

Cameron said the act would

create a positive school environment for everyone.

“We have a legal obligation to take steps and end bullying in schools.”

Winnie needs a family who can give her structure, exercise, and a chance to socialize with other dogs to be more comfortable with them.

Leo is a neutered male, brown tabby Domestic Longhair cat who is about seven years old. He was surrendered to the shelter by his owner. When he first came to the OHS his hair was severely matted, so we shaved him down into a lion cut to suit his name. His long hair is growing back now – which is a good signal that it is time he found his forever home! Leo loves to have his ears rubbed and to tell you about his day. He’ll be a good guard cat and keep watch over your home with his inquisitive mind and a regal presence. He’s a strong-willed, spirited cat and would get along best with new owners who appreciate that he is an independently-minded feline who loves being petted, but who can also be a rough player. Leo is a solitary kind of feline who would rather not be in a household with small children or other cats.

WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO MAKE A TOUGH DECISION?

If your pet has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, or has begun to suffer increasingly from age-related ailments, humane euthanasia may eventually be the only option you have. Most people want to have as much time as possible with their pet before they have to say a final goodbye.

Many believe that they can provide their pet with a good quality of life for some time to come. Your role is to recognize suffering and to provide care and relief to your animal.

Palliative care for animals is much the same as palliative care for humans — you’re not just letting a dying pet live out its remaining days, you’re making sure that your pet’s suffering is alleviated and that it is comfortable all the while.

If you are thinking about palliative care for your dying pet, there are many practical issues that you should think about, and many questions that you should ask yourself before you decide to go this route.

Your veterinarian will play a large role in the process. If you don’t have a vet, it’s your duty to get one so you can make informed decisions about the health of your animal.

During the initial stages of a pet’s illness, if your veterinarian does not raise the topic of humane euthanasia, it doesn’t mean the topic is off limits. Some veterinarians may not broach the subject first, so make sure you initiate the conversation.

Deciding to provide palliative care to a pet is something the whole family must agree on. The choice can be a costly one — both emotionally and financially — so everyone must be on board.

Palliative care is an unpredictable process.

You will have to be prepared to make quick decisions if your pet is in pain, or if his condition changes suddenly. Remember that it’s your job is to make the best choices for your pet, and that may not always involve continuing with palliative care until the

If you have decided to follow the palliative care route, you are responsible for recognizing suffering and acting to alleviate distress.

Miss Carmen

Realize the role of guilt. Don’t avoid or delay humane euthanasia because you feel guilty. Remember that it can be the right decision for your pet in the end.

Realize that doing nothing is not an option. If you choose to administer palliative care to your animal, remember it doesn’t mean allowing a pet to die at home without proper care and attention. To do so would be neglectful and you could be criminally charged for not providing adequate care or for willfully causing unnecessary pain and suffering to an animal.

Most importantly, you need to ask yourself who you are doing this for. As heartbreaking as losing a pet may be, you should always be sure that you are placing your pet’s welfare ahead of your own emotions.

Pet ownership brings many joys, but also tough decisions. Your pet needs love, care and devotion, and may sometimes require an ethical or moral choice be made on its behalf. Your companion animal cannot tell you when he or she is in pain and suffering, and as your pet reaches the senior stage in life, it’s important to know your pet, his or her body language, and to have a plan ready so that a tough decision is not put off too long..
