EMC news – A plan to improve traffic flow on Johnston Road with an upgrade to the intersections at Albion Road and Tapiola Crescent was rejected by Greenboro residents at an open house hosted by the city at the Greenboro Community Centre on June 5. The city presented four design options for improvements at the intersections, such as building a roundabout or installing traffic lights. City planner Campbell Inwood said traffic conditions at the Albion intersection prompted the city to investigate and present a plan to address the problem. But most of the residents at the meeting demanded the city make no changes to the intersections, and to maintain the all-way stop controls. “If it is not broken don’t fix it,” said Greenboro resident Jay Hunt. Hunt said the problem isn’t residential traffic, it’s motorists looking for a shortcut between Bank Street and Conroy Road who are using Johnston Road as a shortcut. “Anything they do to Johnston Road would allow more traffic and it is a wrong direction,” said Hunt. Any improvements to the intersections on Johnston would only increase traffic rather than solving the problem, he added. “I am happy people voted for the ‘do nothing option’, but I don’t have a lot of trust in terms of how much that is going to be listened to,” Hunt said. Many residents at the meeting called for a greater police presence at the Johnston Road intersections. “I am almost hit everyday because nobody stops at the stop sign,” said Susan Rogers, who supported bringing a traffic signal to the Albion and Johnston intersection.

EMC news – A Grade 6 Ottawa teacher who created a program teaching cultural understanding between Jewish and Muslim students has been asked to speak at a Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem.

PATRICK MASCOE CHARLES H. HULSE TEACHER

Eight years ago, the Kanata Lakes man started a program that teams up students from Charles H. Hulse, which has a predominantly Muslim population, with students from the Ottawa Jewish Community School through a pen-pal

exchange. The pen-pal program teaches students to learn and apply the principles of tolerance and responsible citizenship and culminates in a day of cultural understanding. On June 7, the students from both schools met during a day of cultural understanding held at Charles H. Hulse. “I really see a change in the culture and attitude,” said Mascoe. “The last time the Jewish kids came in they received a standing ovation.” After the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Mascoe said he discovered many of his students harboured an extreme dislike for the Jewish community.

PM welcomes Canadian table tennis Olympians EMC news - Three table tennis players based out of Ottawa will be headed to London to represent Canada at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. Make that, headed back to London. Pierre-Luc Hinse, Eugene Wang and Mo Zhang, all based out of the national training centre in Ottawa, were joined by Andre Ho of Richmond, B.C., as they received their ofďŹ cial team jackets from Prime Minister Stephen Harper at the unveil-

ing of Canada Olympic House in London Tuesday. “I’m so proud that I’ll be part of this amazing team,� said Hinse, in a press release. “It’s something I’ve been working towards for a long time and today takes it one step closer to being a reality.� “Today is a very special day for us,� added Zhang. “I look forward to joining the rest of our teammates back here in London just a few short months from now.� “This is an unbelievable feeling,� said Wang, who was

granted Canadian citizenship last week. “I am so proud to call myself Canadian and to represent Canada at the Olympic Games.â€? Hinse will be making his ďŹ rst appearance at an Olympic Games. He earned a spot by defeating American Timothy Wang in seven games the ďŹ nal of the second men’s qualifying tournament at the North American trials in April. In 2011, Hinse captured the North American and the Canadian championships.

Zhang is returning to the Olympics for the second time in her young career. She is coming off a 2011 season that saw her compete at the Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico and win gold in the singles event. Wang is the No. 1-ranked table tennis player in North America and will be making his ďŹ rst appearance at an Olympic Games at London 2012. He became a Canadian citizen in June, in time to represent Canada in London.

“The stop signs are not working because nobody obeys them.â€? According to city statistics, there have been seven reported collisions at the Albion intersection and one at the Tapiola intersection over the past ďŹ ve years. Southgate-Gloucester Coun. Diane Deans said she wasn’t surprised by residents’ opposition to intersection improvements. “I was guessing they would choose the status quo in the short term and perhaps a trafďŹ c signal in the longer term,â€? said Deans. “The options that take away a lot of park land

are not options that I thought residents would readily embrace, and we saw that tonight.â€? Deans said that most people want to preserve the residential character of their neighbourhood. “Every community is concerned about through trafďŹ c – trafďŹ c that has no destination in that neighbourhood but is using it as a shortcut. People want to prevent that. They don’t want to make the trafďŹ c ow easier in order to attract more (cars),â€? she said. The City of Ottawa has allocated $1.04 million in its 2012 capital budget for design and construction of intersection modiďŹ cation.

Charles H. Hulse’s Fatema Rashed sits with her pen-pal Diana Goldfield from the Ottawa Jewish Community School. Students from both schools met on June 7 during a day of cultural understanding held at Charles H. Hulse Public School. “Our job in a caring and loving society is to ensure that we don’t get trapped into this web of hate, bitterness and negativity but instead stand up and defend someone who is being attacked or bullied, treated unfairly or being discriminated against.” Watson said there is a lot

older people who can learn from children in this program. “You have to do a better job of being role models to young people,” he told them. Mascoe’s program has recently been recognized by the Daniel Pearl Foundation and is featured on their website.

“We had anti-Semitic graffiti, we had kids talking openly that they didn’t like Jews and I thought that was kind of ridiculous,” said Mascoe. “When I asked if they had met any Jewish people, none of them had met one.” Mascoe decided to pair his pupils with students from the Ottawa Jewish Community School to engage in healthy debate and discussion. The pen-pal program was designed to teach students how to make decisions based on knowledge instead of prejudice. “Everyone can say, ‘Yeah, racism is wrong,’ But when you see it are you going to stand up and do something about it? Even when it is not directed towards you?” Mascoe asked his students. Collaborative games, sports, a scavenger hunt and a Holocaust survivor’s personal story, were part of this special program aimed at teaching tolerance and understanding. The goal of the program is to build teamwork and co-operation, said Mascoe. The program has become so popular, that even Mayor Jim Watson was on hand to deliver an introductory speech to the students. “The common denominator we all have is we are all people,” Watson told the students. No matter what background one might have, “we are all people at the end of the day,” he added.

Monahan hopes this year’s lineup will draw bigger crowds than before. “Close to 10,000 a day, nearly double what we had in 2010.” Monahan took control of the Folk Festival last year, doubling the number of musicians participating and moving the event from Britannia Park to Hog’s Back Park. Organizers also announced the return of their interactive and performance workshops. “Patrons with no experience and a song in their heart will get a kick-start in learning a new instrument.” Regularly priced tickets go on sale June 9.

EMC entertainment – Grammy-winner Bon Iver is the headline act for this year’s Ottawa Folk Festival. The festival will return to Hog’s Back Park and run from Sept. 6 to 10, a month after than usual, and an extra day has been tacked on to the five-day event. “We made a decision to go to September because of the availability of artists,” said folk festival artistic director Mark Monahan. “We think in terms of timing, it really depends on the artist who wants to come.” Part of the reason why the festival was extended by a day was to accommodate Bon Iver who Monahan said will help raise the profile of the festival. “There is a huge fan base for him and he has never played in Ottawa before. It will be a huge night and will draw a lot of attention to the

rest of the line-up as well,” said Monahan. Bon Iver is an American folk band founded in 2007 by indie-folk singer-songwriter Justin Vernon. The earliest the band wanted to play was Monday, Sept. 10. Monahan said he expects a repeat of last year’s increase in attendance, powered by an all-star line-up. Some of the other big names include Ottawa native Kathleen Edwards (who is dating Bon Iver frontman Vernon),American rootsrocker Ben Harper, Newfoundland folk-rockers Great Big Sea, Dan Mangan, and Matthew Good. Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac fame has also been confirmed to appear at the festival on Sept. 7. “In concert at this year’s Ottawa Folk Festival, expect Lindsey Buckingham to mix it up between his solo career and Fleetwood Mac hits for

OC Transpo cuts hydro costs with lighting retrofit

R0011445245

NEWS

Bryce Conrad, Hydro Ottawa’s President and CEO, presents a cheque to Jim Greer of OC Transpo, Mayor Jim Watson and Councillor Diane Deans.

With the help of the Hydro Ottawa Group of Companies, OC Transpo has cut its lighting costs by 43 percent at its St. Laurent garage. Energy Ottawa performed an energy audit and implemented turnkey solutions to improve energy efficiency at the bus garage. Energy Ottawa, a subsidiary of Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc., is the City’s preferred energy management partner. The project included replacing inefficient light fixtures and installing sensors that can turn off some lighting when the garage is not occupied. With a return on investment of about three years, this lighting retrofit is expected to cut energy costs by more than $137,000 each year. The new energy-efficient lamps also last more than 75 percent longer – reducing maintenance costs. “I am very pleased to present to OC Transpo more than $95,000 in incentives through the saveONenergy Retrofit program. The program is designed to help businesses manage energy consumption and keep electricity costs lower,” said Bryce Conrad, President and CEO of Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. “It is great to be able to accept this cheque on behalf of the City of Ottawa and OC Transpo and to thank Hydro Ottawa at the same time,” said Mayor Jim Watson. “It shows what can be accomplished with teamwork as together we improve our environment and save energy and money while providing transit services to our residents.”

Alta Vista school resource officer humbled by Ottawa police awards Eddie Rwema Eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – An Ottawa police school resources officer in Alta Vista was honoured with two community police awards at the Ottawa police’s annual Community/ Police Awards Ceremony on June 5. Const. Mahamud Elmi received the Community Service Award and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for his outstanding contributions in the community. Elmi was honoured for his role in the creation of the Somali Basketball League and his humanitarian and fundraising efforts in the establishment of the Somali Hope Academy in Somalia. “It was an honour for me, and I accepted the awards on behalf of all those people that are behind the two initiatives,” said Elmi. Elmi said he knows how a good education can propel someone into an exciting career and future. Since 2008, Elmi has raised money to build a school in Somalia, the country where he was born and where public schools are in extremely short supply. “When I visited Somalia in 2008, I saw the need for education and I don’t think any child should pay for education at least at the primary level,” said Elmi. The construction of the school is 90 per cent complete and Elmi hopes to have it opened early this fall. When we started the initiative, our goal was to have the school open in 2012 and we are on schedule,” he said. “There’s still some work to

Mahamud Elmi was the recipient of two major awards - the Community Service Award and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, for his outstanding contribution to the community, his role in the creation of the Somali Basketball League and his humanitarian and fundraising efforts in the establishment of the Somali Hope Academy in his native land. do but we are making a very good progress.” In a statement, Richard King, principal at Ridgemont High School, said those who work with Elmi on a regular basis know how great his impact is on the community. “He is deserving of both awards,” said King. The first shipment from Canada to the Somali Hope Academy arrived last month with 400 kilograms of books donated by several schools in the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, spearheaded by staff at Ridgemont High

School and Charles H. Hulse Public School. “As Canadians we have always responded to calls no matter what the situation was and this is not different,” said Elmi. “Our drive is to make a differences to the lives of hundreds of young Somali’s who are yearning for quality education.” Elmi said he envisions a world in which all Somali children can pursue a good education that enables them to reach their full potential and contribute to their com-

munity and the world. “The communities there are eager and cannot wait for the school to open,” said Elmi. At the same event, Ridgemont graduate Batul Masri was awarded the Thomas G. Flanagan S.C. Scholarship. Named after a former chief of police, this scholarship was established to assist visible minority and Aboriginal women who have expressed an interest in a policing career.

Parents struggle with fundraising fatigue Ontario’s education system taps families’ desire to improve children’s learning: People for Education Kristen Calis, Jessica Cunha and Rosie-Ann Grover

P

arents across Ontario are feeling unprecedented pressure to open their wallets for school fundraising as families shell out money for everything from crayons and Kleenex to computers and playground equipment. “Today there’s a bigger burden than ever before,” says Progressive Conservative education critic Lisa MacLeod. “Parents are paying over half a billion bucks out of their own pockets each year for essential learning tools.” Bake sales, car washes and pizza lunches generate tens of millions of dollars in fundraising that is supposed to enrich – not replace – public funding. And “the amount of extra monies that are being raised for school purposes is steadily increasing,” the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association says. “The trend is undeniable.” Parents do “have a role to play in actually augmenting the school budget,” says Annie Kidder, executive director of People for Education, a parent-led advocacy group. But she believes the education system is taking advantage of parents’ willingness and ability to be involved, assuming they will always be there to put in that extra time and money. Many parents agree. School boards know parents will fundraise, says Oshawa dad Steve Rockbrune, who believes parents will work hard to give their kids the best they can provide. “That’s why they put the squeeze on us.” Rockbrune was surprised when his daughter, who attends Harmony Public School, came home at the start of the year with a note requesting donations of Kleenex and glue, basic classroom staples. Parents say drumming up dollars isn’t the most popular task. LOTS OF WORK

“Nobody really ever wants to take on the job of fundraising because it’s a lot of work,” says Catherine Scott, fundraising committee co-chair at Roch Carrier Elementary School in Ottawa. “And yet we need classroom resources; we need new technology; we need to keep our school grounds up; spend money on paint for hopscotch and four square in the playground – and there’s no mon-

ey in the school budget for those things.” As of March, Ottawa’s Broadview Public School had raised more than $116,000 through an e-waste drop-off, magazine fundraiser, letter drive, movie night, and pizza and sub lunches for a complete yard renewal. The previous school council set aside $30,000 and the school received a number of corporate donations, including three $10,000 contributions. With a goal of $150,000, the school council hopes to purchase two new play structures to replace the current unsafe playground and create an outdoor learning classroom for the school of more than 800 students. Many parents say they are feeling the pinch with schools continually asking for more money.

(Fundraising initiatives) are constant and frequent. It puts an unrealistic expectation on parents and family and the community. GREG WEILER

It can seem endless, says Greg Weiler, a father of two at the primary level and local president for the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) in Waterloo. “I can’t think of a week where there isn’t some fundraising initiative going on. They are constant and frequent,” Weiler says. “It puts an unrealistic expectation on parents and family and the community.” NDP education critic Peter Tabuns believes the government relies on parents to fundraise. “You almost think they quietly approve. This is a way of reducing the pressure on them for proper funding of education. Leave it to the parents. The parents will raise the money and won’t squawk about the fact that their school isn’t getting enough. Life goes on. But it means a lot of children get shortchanged.” The ETFO says school fundraising lets the provincial government “shirk” its responsibility to properly fund schools and puts pressure on everyone in the system.

“The funds have to come from somewhere,” says Durham ETFO local president Gerard O’Neill. “People have to go out and raise them.” O’Neill says filling this funding gap often comes down to teachers, many of whom end up paying for essential classroom items, such as pencils and paper, out of their own pocket. NEW WAYS

Some manage the entire fundraising procedure, which takes time away from their Number 1 priority – teaching. School councils are constantly finding new ways to raise money. At Terry Fox Public School in Ajax, school community council chair Sandra Fletcher has become familiar but not quite comfortable with soliciting friends and family. “The SCC relies on parents and grandparents and sisters and uncles and cousins,” she says. This has been the case since the school opened its doors 10 years ago. The gym didn’t have a sound system and the library didn’t have enough books. After years of fundraising to add these items, Fletcher said she’s found parents have reached fundraising fatigue. “I actually think there’s a lot of pressure on the parents, and we, in the last four or five years, have tried consciously not to put that pressure on the parents,” she says, adding a dance-a-thon and pizza lunches make up most of the fundraising. The school council of St. Patrick’s Catholic High School in Ottawa doesn’t do any fundraising for the school. Instead, it lets the students decide how to raise funds and how to use the money. “It’s hard to get volunteers, so it would fall on a few people’s shoulders,” says Joanne MacEwan, chair of the school council and co-chair of the Catholic School Parents’ Association. Leaving it up to the students teaches them responsibility and keeps parents from burning out, MacEwan says. But there is a limit, she adds. “Sometimes it can be too much. We caution all our school councils – make sure you go to your community and make sure that you’re getting a feel for how they’re feeling about fundraising.” However, not everyone agrees that the problem is a funding shortfall. Joe Allin,

Jessica Cunha

Jason Scott hefts electronic waste into a dumpster. More schools are turning to fundraisers where parents don’t have to spend any money as a way to combat fundraising fatigue. For an e-waste drop off, schools receive $185 per tonne. chair of the Durham District School Board, believes current government funding is sufficient and that fundraising is a long-standing practice that will take place no matter what. “I’m not convinced it’s associated with need,” Allin says. “That isn’t to say there aren’t needs. I’d say this activity would go on regardless of the level of funding that comes into the schools.” SENSE OF CONNECTION

Fundraising is a way for parents to be active and feel like they’re contributing to their child’s school, says Kidder, of People for Education. “I think it’s a really nice, understandable way to be involved in our kids’ school.” The types of fundraisers being held, the amounts raised and the items bought differ across the province: • In Woodbridge, St. Clare Catholic School, located in a well-to-do neighbourhood, spent funds on school improvements, arts enrichment, security cameras and healthyliving initiatives such as yoga

in recent years, according to a school council letter to the community. “Fundraising is so important to our school,” said the school council. “Through it, our children are able to access many enhanced resources and programs that only serve to enrich their educational experience at school.” • Rosebank Road Public School in Pickering purchased 11 fans for the school at a cost of $497.08 in 2010-11. • At Holy Cross Catholic School in the Dufferin-Peel Catholic board, the council spent $800 on fans for a portable. There’s no cut-and-dried answer to the pitfalls of fundraising. Sheila Perry spent 30 years working in the education sector in a variety of roles, including principal, teacher, educator, consultant and administrator. With a broad perspective on fundraising from within the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, she says the issue of private dollars funding public education remains a dilemma. “That’s the key, it’s a public system,” says Perry, who

is now retired. “The key is to offer things across the board, an equal opportunity as much as you can. The dilemma becomes when you just can’t or the price is too prohibitive. That’s where you get into the fundraising.” Muddying the issue further is determining the must-have items. For example, the Ministry of Education doesn’t consider technology an essential item for schools. In fact, it slashed the budget for that line item by $25 million for the 2011-12 school year. In turn, the Ministry’s guidelines deem it acceptable for schools to acquire technology with fundraised dollars. But some in the education sector believe technology is indeed a necessity. “We can’t go to our parent councils or school councils and keep asking for money for what could arguably be described as a 21st-century learning tool in public education,” says Catherine Fife, president of Ontario Public School Boards’ Association. “So let’s find creative ways to address that funding shortfall and not go to fundraising.”

OPINION EDITORIAL

City should ban bags to ease trash troubles

O

nly in Toronto you say? Pity. Toronto’s city council set the mayor’s blood to boil last week by voting for a ban on plastic bags. Toronto is by no means the first North American city to say no to plastic bags – Fort McMurray, Alta., San Francisco, Seattle and Los Angeles have all banned plastic bags. The City of Ottawa should consider adding its name to

the list of cities attempting to deal responsibly with their municipal waste. Toronto’s bag ban started out as a debate over an unpopular five-cent fee for every plastic bag charged by retailers. Sound familiar? Mayor Rob Ford managed to convince council to scrap the fee, but was flummoxed, when Coun. David Shiner – a member of the Ford inner circle – proposed an outright ban on plastic bags.

Shiner later said the idea for the bag ban came to him mid-debate, but nevertheless his colleagues on council lined up behind the idea. One of the largest issues on Ottawa council’s plate over the past decade has been what to do about the city’s landfill problem. Councillor after councillor and mayor after mayor tells us the city wants to move to more sustainable forms of managing municipal waste, but then we’re reminded

about the need to find somewhere to store our garbage. If we want to move away from landfills, we have to reduce our environmental footprint and getting rid of non-biodegradable products like plastic bags is a good first step. When it’s tossed into a landfill, plastic bags have the staying power of an Energizer bunny. If we don’t use them, there’s no need to manufacture them and ultimately,

scrap them. If we’re serious about moving away from landfills, wouldn’t eliminating the tons of plastic that end up in our city dumps be a great first, second and third step? The cost? Shoppers will have to bag their groceries in paper (it’s been done before), cardboard boxes and using Green boxes and cloth bags. We’re already being charged a nickel a bag by many retailers for every

plastic bag we use, so maybe we spend that money more wisely on a paper bag instead. Or dare we suggest … keep the nickels in our pockets and carry our groceries home in reuseable bags and boxes? Ottawa council should at least take a look at the idea – not shy away from it over fear of a potential public backlash. Hopefully, after sober discussion and debate, council will decide that saving our environment – and millions in taxes pumped into waste management – is definitely “their bag.”

COLUMN

More sleep, less duty free CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

T

he idea of abolishing duty-free shopping came, as great ideas often do, during sleep. Well, not exactly during sleep. It was at the moment of being awakened from sleep. Precisely, it was during the captain’s booming announcement that woke up certain people who were trying desperately to grab 40 winks while sitting upright in cramped conditions on an international flight. Just when success seemed to be attained and restful dreams arrived, a loud and authoritative voice jolted certain people with the news that attendants would be coming through the cabin offering duty-free bargains. Thanks a lot, captain. And then suddenly came the memory of another international flight when attendants were walking through the cabin hawking their cheap cigarettes, eau de toilette and champagne at 3 a.m., local time, somehow oblivious to the fact that some of the passengers who emplaned at midnight, local time, might need some shut-eye. There is, clearly, something about passengers sleeping that triggers the duty-free mechanism. Understandably, this would get one to thinking, perhaps somewhat emotionally, about the concept of duty-free shopping. Why do we have it anyway? What purpose does it serve? And would abolishing it do any real harm? Duty-free shops were obviously started to give people something to do at airports other than looking for a place to sit that isn’t occupied by that guy over there who has luggage spread over three seats. It’s a long time ago that it started, but some-

body obviously thought that having a place to shop duty-free would give people an incentive to spend money at the airport. Later, it may have been thought that the presence of a dutyfree shop might give people a reason to choose one airport over another. Perhaps it did not occur to anyone that people don’t really choose airports. The main incentive to visit, say, Ottawa airport is that the plane goes from there. Then duty-free stores spread to passenger ships, parts of the world that were not airports, and onto the plane itself, with the unfortunate consequences that we have seen. Whether it is intended or not, the duty-free shop, particularly the one in the airport and the one on the plane, gives preferential treatment to travellers as opposed to those who stay at home. Many things are wrong with this. On the environmental side, those who stay home are doing more for the planet than those who get onto airplanes or drive cars to the nearest border. And what do those non-travellers get for their services to the environment? They get to pay taxes when they buy cognac, perfume and four-foot-long Toblerone bars. That’s another issue: the reverse income redistribution effect, as those of us who haven’t studied economics like to call it. Citizens who can partake of foreign travel are generally wealthier than citizens who cannot. Yet it is they who get to avoid the duty. Of course, they are not the only wealthy people in the world who get tax breaks, but that doesn’t make it right that they can get a deal on a bottle of Clicquot Ponsardin or get a free signature hockey puck with their purchase of Wayne Gretzky Icewine while we mortals are paying HST on a Diet Pepsi and some Cheez Doodles. Another point: Our governments at all levels are struggling with budget deficits. Yet here’s a source of revenue that is cut off from them. Imagine how quickly budgets would be balanced if everybody who bought cognac, tan maximizer and syrup in a jar shaped like a maple leaf had to pay tax on it. It’s all good and that doesn’t even count the part about people sleeping better on airplanes.

Habitat for Humanity celebrates great year in Ottawa eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – Last year was a memorable one for Habitat for Humanity in Ottawa. The organization, whose goal is to help hard-working low-income families ďŹ nd an affordable place to live, renovated a house so it was completely accessible for a disabled six-year-old child. The Ahmed Ali and his family realized their dream last December when they were handed keys to their new house thanks to Habitat for Humanity near the Herongate neighbourhood. Ali’s family of seven includes ďŹ ve children – two of whom have special needs – and they had been waiting for a new home since 2009. Habitat for Humanity usually builds their charitable houses from scratch, but in this case the non-proďŹ t organization was limited by the family’s need to be close to the children’s hospital on Smyth Road. They purchased the three-

bedroom bungalow in Ottawa South, which was renovated to include wheelchair access. The build for the Ali-family was just one of the projects that made 2011 an eventful year, said Johannes Zierbarth, Habitat for Humanity’s president for the national capital region, during the organization’s annual general meeting held on June 5. In 2011, Habitat for Humanity completed three retroďŹ ts in Ottawa and started a build in the Carleton Place area. Zierbarth attributed Habitat for Humanity’s success to the support of dedicated volunteers who bring their years of expertise to ďŹ nd smart solutions. “Their dedicated support makes it possible for us to bring happiness, hope and a new life to families every year,â€? he said. Zierbarth said he ďŹ rst got involved with Habitat for Humanity 15 years ago, when he saw the need for families to come out of low-income-

housing and be able to have a place for their children to be able to grow up and change their whole life cycle. “It is when I saw the kids and what was happening to them that I decided to get involved,â€? he said. For Donna Hicks, chief executive ofďŹ cer for Habitat for Humanity National Capital Region, 2011 was a year full of happy surprises. For the ďŹ rst time, the organization invited families they built for to also attend the meeting. “It was really important for our volunteers to get to meet who they helped,â€? said Hicks. “Most of our volunteers don’t get to see the end result. We thought this was a very unique opportunity for them to meet them.â€? The organization mobilizes volunteers and community partners to break the cycle of poverty by providing affordable housing and no-interest ďŹ nancing that makes homeownership a realistic goal for many low-income families.

Is arch discomfort keeping you from that half marathon that you so badly want to complete? If so, you may be experiencing a painful condition called Plantar Fasciitis (PF). Plantar fascia is a thin band of connective tissue that runs from your heel bone towards the base of your toes. Plantar Fasciitis, (‘itis’ meaning inammation) is a repetitive strain injury causing irritation of that band. Sudden overuse is one of the most common causes of PF.

After exercise, your muscles and tissues micro-tear and then begin to heal themselves – That is how they become stronger. Sudden increases in activity without appropriate rest prevents your body from properly healing. Other causes include: worn out footwear, at feet or high arches, and tightness or weakness of your calf and foot muscles.

Addressing the cause and receiving appropriate treatment will help you get rid of that annoying pain in the arch!

PF most often responds well to treatment, especially if it begins soon after the pain starts. Conservative treatment includes rest, ice, activity modiďŹ cation, wearing supportive shoes, and proper stretching. Visiting your local family physiotherapist can help speed up the recovery

EMC news - Construction on the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge will resume in the next two weeks and be completed by the end of August, 2013. Work was halted after Concreate USL, the Bolton, Ont.-based contractor the city hired to build the bridge, went into receivership in late March. The work was about 60 per cent done at the time and was supposed to be completed in late 2012. On June 6, the city announced it selected a prime contractor to ďŹ nish the $48million project: Horseshoe Hill Construction Inc. Restarting construction with that contractor will ensure the bond company that took over for Concreate USL can complete the project at to additional cost to the city, according to a press release. “This is an important infrastructure project that the community is anxious to see completed,â€? said Coun.

Construction of Findlay Creek boardwalk begins $100,000 boardwalk and natural footpath to be completed by the end of the year Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – Findlay Creek residents will soon be able to walk through a variety of natural habitat areas within the Leitrim wetlands. The official groundbreaking for a new boardwalk was held on June 8. The 305-metre cedar boardwalk is being built in partnership between the South Nation Conservation Authority, Tartan and Tama-

rack Homes, which are providing $200 per house sold for stewardship and educational activities within the wetland. The trail surface will be a combination of natural footpaths and a raised boardwalk. Eva Pigeon-Seguin, president of the Findlay Creek Community Association, said the community was excited about the boardwalk and was looking forward to

using it in the near future. A fundraising campaign has also been launched to help cover repairs and maintenance of a boardwalk. In all, some 500 plant species are present in the 324hectare complex wetland. Josee Brizard, SNC director for conservation, said Findlay Creek residents have been supportive of the initiative as a means of accessing the wetland without disturbing important ecological features. “This is an opportunity for them to help make the project a long-term reality,” she said. The boardwalk is expected to be finished before the end of the year at a cost of $100,000. Emma Jackson

Bubbly cheers LCBO’s senior vice president of retail Bob Clevely, left, uncorked some bubbly to celebrate the new Findlay Creek location with store manager Rick Chapman and eastern region retail manager Paul Mancini just minutes before it opened its doors for the first time on Monday, June 11. The new store is the 26th in Ottawa, and only the second in the region to offer an energy efficient walk-in cold room where chilled beer, coolers and wine are available. The store also has a larger than average vintage section offering almost 300 brands of wines and spirits. District manager Karen Richardson-Norris said the vintage section will capitalize on the fact that Findlay Creek’s 11,000-strong population is quite affluent, with an average household income of $118,000.

Country Fun Nature Camp is a non-denominational Christian eco-camp that focuses on nurturing children’s love for God, self, others, and the environment. A typical day at County Fun includes arts and crafts in our Craft Barn, outdoor games, a daily swim in our in-ground pool, nature walks, interactive Bible studies, and snack time. Wherever possible, all activities are tied to themes of nature and environmental education.

On June 7, transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans and Metrolinx president and CEO Bruce McCuaig announce a delay in the launch of the Presto smart card fare payment system for Ottawa until later this summer. usual. Initial discussions are leading towards Metrolinx being on the hook for any additional costs for the delay and technical ďŹ xes, Deans said, but

which party will cover possible cost overruns is not ďŹ nalized. The city was hoping to give away 200,000 free Presto cards starting June 10 as an

incentive to use the system. That’s the same number of Presto users across nine different transit systems in the GTA and Hamilton, McCuaig said.

EMC news - The launch of the Presto smart card system for bus fares is being delayed, possibly until Aug.1, after a series of technical issues were discovered. The new payment system won’t be launched until the issues are resolved and there is no ďŹ rm date, said transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans. She added, however, that she could “imagineâ€? a revised Presto card rollout date of July 8, with the system going live for all users on Aug. 1, a month later than anticipated. Cards were supposed to be released on June 10 and were to begin being used on July 1, but a two-month pilot run has revealed widespread issues with a new type of card reader installed on several hundred OC Transpo buses as part of a “friends and familyâ€? pilot project.

While Presto is in use in several cities in southern Ontario including Toronto, Ottawa is the ďŹ rst city to roll out a “new generationâ€? system. People involved in the pilot project have been getting error messages when they tap their cars on the readers to pay their bus fare, while others are reporting that the cards aren’t recognizing when the user tops them up with more value. Those issues were enough to make the city put the brakes on the Presto launch with a hastily called press conference on June. 7. “Let me be clear, our customers are our priority and the reality is, the Presto product is not ready,â€? said Deans, who is also the councillor for Gloucester-Southgate Ward. Deans stressed that OC Transpo is simply a customer buying a product from Metrolinx, so the problem lies with Metrolinx, the provincial

Mothers ‘pull back the sheets’ on children’s bed wetting kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC news - Set up around a mock campfire featuring a pitched tent, mothers from across the city came out to draw attention to the issue of bed wetting at Bayshore Shopping Centre on June 5.

“(Bed wetting) means the kids can’t go to sleepovers or to camp in the summer, unless you’re really well prepared,” said Melina Nobert, a mother of 11 children who has experienced bed wetting issues with four of her kids. “It’s something that’s just

not talked about. But now that I’ve been talking about it with people I know, it affects most families.” The mothers were set up at the mall to help other parents understand that bed wetting is a medical condition that can be treated, not a sign of weak parenting or the child’s fault. They also want to remove the stigma and get parents talking about what they say is a very common issue. “It’s embarrassing for the child and it’s embarrassing for the family,” said Nobert. “It’s something we don’t talk about, but we should - just knowing we’re not alone in our struggles and that we can talk about it and get some help.” Nobert said bed wetting can affect children in a number of ways, including interfering with childhood experiences like sleepovers and camps. It can also affect the child’s siblings, Nobert added. “If two kids are invited to a sleepover at the same house, but one wets the bed, the other one can’t go either,” she said. “You can’t play favourites, but then they feel like they’re being punished because of a problem their sibling has.” Nobert said there is help available and it’s important to talk to your family doctor. Dr. Sidney Kardash, an Ottawa pediatrician, said the problem is much more common than people realize.

Kristy Strauss

Melina Nobert was recently at Bayshore Shopping Centre, bringing attention to the issue of bed wetting. “There are good treatment options for any child between five and six for this problem,” Kardash said. In addition to the stigma attached to bed wetting, Kardash said, there are also misconcep-

tions associated with it. “(Some misconceptions include) there’s something wrong with the kidney or brain,” he said, adding that one of the bigger issues is people just don’t want to talk about it.

Kardash said that parents should see a doctor if the bed wetting persists until a child is about five or six years-old. “Help is there, and it should be tried because you’ve got nothing to lose,” he said.

“Soave” is which of the following: A. an Italian red wine B. an Italian white wine C. an Italian sparkling wine D. an Italian wine toasting expression Answer: B- An Italian white wine. This wine hails from the Veneto region of Italy and Gargangea is the informing grape. It’s dry, crisp, and meant to be drunk very young. It has sometimes been almost lacking in flavor but recent expressions with care to some good blending and moderate use of oak have produced some excellent value priced wines. Which grape is considered to be the mostly widely grown grape in the world? A. Chardonnay B. Merlot C. Grenache D. Cabernet Sauvignon Answer: C-Grenache. Cabernet Sauvignon is the world’s most consumed varietal but Grenache is grown in more places and appears in the greatest number of wines. It finds its way into a lot of wines as a blending and finishing grape. It finds its best expression as a dominant or single grape in many of the wines from Spain. The oldest winery in North America still producing wine today is located: A. in Florida B. in Mexico C. in Texas D. in Canada Answer: B-Mexico. The winery is called Casa Madero and production there dates to the late 1590’s. They make a very respectable Merlot and a Merlot-Nebbiolo blend that The Wine Guy enjoys

JUNE 17 SCOTIABANK PLACE 8 A.M. TO 12 P.M.

MEET ROGER’S DREAM TEAM The Roger’s Dream Team roster consists of a group of Roger’s House children who will be spearheading the charge to encourage families, individuals, companies and organizations to participate in the annual fundraising event. To support one of these children or for event details, please visit www.sensfoundation.com or call 613-599-0323.

Alex Ferguson Alex keeps everyone loose in the dressing room. His amazing sense of humour helps when the team gets nervous before a big game.

t. Join us at this year’s even Amanda Caceres At seven years old, Amanda is one of our seasoned veterans and brings experience to the young squad. She visits Roger’s House about every two months, especially in the spring and summer. Because she requires 24/7 care due to multiple medical issues, these respite stays provide both her and her parents some much needed rest.

Eliane Bissonnette Eliane is one of the high flyers on the team, always on the the move! At only 15 months, Eliane can be spotted scooting around on her zebra buggy or her jumperoo. She’s definitely going to be a fan favourite with our Francophone supporters as she primarily speaks French at home.

Three years ago, Alex was diagnosed with a neurological degenerative disorder that saw him go from playing soccer to being in a wheelchair. Yet this has not broken his amazing spirit.

Connor Haynes A proud member of the Dream Team, Connor brings a lot of enthusiasm to his role on the squad. A huge Senators fan, he loves when the Senators are on TV. As well as watching hockey, he also enjoys the Snoezelen Room at Roger’s House which provides many forms of sensory stimulation as a means of therapy.

Willyam Berube Willyam is one of the most spirited members of this year’s Dream Team squad. He loves to go into the corners, particularly for hugs with his loving parents and the staff and volunteers at Roger’s House.

Jaxon Elliott-Sprysa Jaxon is a big sports and movie fan. When he’s not working out with the Dream Team, he’s usually playing Wii sports like baseball and bowling, or chilling with a good Disney movie. At 8½, Jaxon has proven that he’s a fighter. He was born premature and before he was 4, he’d spent over a year in hospital.

Jordyn Deveau-Yurich Jordyn’s positive attitude makes her a hugely valuable member of this year’s squad. She loves a challenge. Now nine, she has been getting around in her power chair since age six. Jordyn and her family benefitted from time at Roger’s House to transition from complete assistance with medical care before heading home.

Lily Beaupre

Sixteen year old Nicholas loves the excitement of the game and being on the Dream Team. Even though he requires assistance in all daily activities his thirst and love for life is abundant. His relationship with Roger’s House only started in May 2011 but both he and his family really benefit from the support.

Qavagua Tunnillie Qav is the captain of this year’s Dream Team by right of his age and his experience. A real go-getter, he has been practicing with Ottawa power wheelchair hockey players and is joining their team this year. Undaunted by his medical condition, Qav goes to St. Mark’s High School, getting himself around in an electric wheelchair.

R0011449924

Two and a half year old Lily brings a real competitive edge to her line on the team. Although she was crawling up until just before her second birthday, she is no longer able. Her parents use Roger’s House for respite which is able to provide the same around the clock medical attention they provide, and still in a home-like setting.

Early Lansdowne tree cutting a mistake Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Some Glebe residents say they now have even less faith in the Lansdowne Park redevelopment plan and their city councillor to boot after contractors began cutting down trees in Sylvia Holden Park without permission on June 5. Holmwood Avenue residents were surprised to awake to the sound of chainsaws cutting down a stand of about a dozen trees at the end of Adelaide Street. The city quickly halted the work after Capital Coun. David Chernushenko became aware the trees were being removed at around 9:30 a.m. The work was put on hold until June 11, Chernushenko said. Chernushenko said he was “shocked” to find out about the tree cutting and said it was his and the city’s intent to notify residents and give them time to say goodbye to the park they love. No one at city hall gave the OK to cut down the trees on June 5, Chernushenko said, placing the blame on contractor EllisDon Construction, or a subcontractor working on behalf of EllisDon. Chernushenko and the city have asked for a formal apology from the parties responsible, and the councillor suggested a monetary fine might also be in order. That might not be enough to appease Glebe residents, who say the incident has shaken their already fragile trust in their councillor and the city’s authority over the Lansdowne redevelopment. Holmwood resident Martha McKeen was one of two residents who helped stop the tree cutting by locking her bicycle to construction equipment. “It just goes to show how

powerless he is within city council,” McKeen said of Chernushenko. “This is just the beginning of this process and I think I speak for a lot of people when I say we don’t have any faith in the process whatsoever, right from the get-go,” she said. McKeen helped organize a protest event that attracted around 100 people to the clearing. The trees were slated to come down eventually as part of the plan to align a cinema, the relocated Horticulture Building and a row of townhouses along Holmwood Avenue, but the city is supposed to give 48 hours notice when that work is set to begin, said city spokesman Michael Fitzpatrick. Another area resident, Carol McLeod, said she got a head’s up that work might begin because the city asked her and the Glebe Community Association’s environment committee to remove plants they have an agreement to tend within the boundaries of Sylvia Holden Park. They were given a deadline of May 31 to move out, McLeod said. Some residents, including Michael Vickers who lives on Adelaide Street, worried that the treeless swath at the foot of Adelaide would eventually become an access road for heavy construction vehicles. Chernushenko and Fitzpatrick both said that primary construction access will be from Bank Street and it is not their understanding that Holmwood would be used for construction vehicles. CONSTRUCTION BEGINS

Protesters were on site on Monday, June 11 as the city confirmed it will go ahead

Glebe residents created grave markers for trees felled in Sylvia Holden Park on June 5, when a contractor mistakenly began cutting trees before properly notifying residents. with tree cutting at Lansdowne Park with the agreement of Environment Canada following concerns the removals might violate the federal Migratory Birds Convention Act. The federal agency reviewed work being done to remove 63 trees along Holmwood Avenue to make way for parts of the redevelopment, but residents in the area sounded the alarm after discovering that the construction might be in contravention of the act, which states that no person shall disturb, destroy or take the nest, egg or shelter of a migratory bird. A memo sent to the city on June 11 indicated that someone from Environment Canada “erroneously” told the city on June 8 that tree cutting could not continue along Hol-

mwood. But the department can’t regulate tree-cutting activity, Monday’s memo from Environment Canada director general Sheldon Jordan clarified. “However, the regulations prohibit the disturbing or taking or migratory bird nests,” Jordan wrote in the memo. “Should there be nests in the area, the work would need to be carried out in a manner that does not lead to their disturbance or destruction.” The city sent out a statement saying the work will move ahead as scheduled. “Tree removal will proceed with caution to ensure that the tree removal plan is in full compliance with the federal Migratory Birds Convention Act,” reads the statement from the city sent just before noon on June 11.

Catholic board to Sewing machine put to good use appoint new trustee Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - The Ottawa Catholic School Board will appoint a new trustee for Zone 5 Beacon-Hill-Cyrville/Innes following the death of trustee Katalin Sheskay on May 17. The decision was announced on June 4. The board has 90 days from that date to make the appointment. According to the Education Act, the board had two options available to fill the position: conduct a byelection or make an appointment through an application process. Sheskay was first elected in 2006, and ran uncontested in

the October 2010 election. Despite being acclaimed, Sheskay said she felt privileged to hold her position and made a point of placing “thank you” stickers on all her campaign signs. “I was extremely honoured when I found out I was acclaimed and I wanted to thank my constituents for continual support,” Sheskay said at the time.An active member of four board committees, Sheskay 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.

ith longer days on the farm at this time of year, Mother was able to make use of a few extra hours in the evening when she didn’t have to depend on the coal oil lamp for lighting. Although she still spent time each night on her diaries at the kitchen table, she usually was able to find time to pull out the old pedal Singer sewing machine and often worked long into the night. Of course, when it finally got too dark to see from the light of the window, she would have to move the lamp from the kitchen table to the window sill, under which sat the old sewing machine that was in the house when she moved there. Father had no idea how long it had been there under the window, but he remembered his own mother making shirts and mending overalls on the very machine Mother was putting to use decades later. It was this time of year that flour and sugar bags took on a whole new and different life. Mother would have been saving them since the winter before, so that she had a good supply when she got down to making them into everything from blouses for Audrey and me, aprons,

MARY COOK

Mary Cook’s Memories tea towels, pillowcases, and even sheets. Some she was able to buy for a few pennies at the gristmill in Renfrew and the rest came from bags of flour and sugar we bought at Briscoe’s General Store. It would take many washings and bleachings with Javel water to try to rid the bags of their printing. With some, it was impossible. Pride of the Valley, Red Rose and other company logos were there forever, and it wasn’t unusual for me to go off to school in bloomers that still showed Pride of the Valley firmly printed across the seat. But then, I wasn’t the only one at Northcote School who wore flour bag underwear, so there was no embarrassment for any of us girls who’s Mother had put the bags to good use. If the Javel water didn’t totally remove the printing, which was always in bright red or a vivid blue, Mother would choose a bright warm and sunny day and spread out the bags over

the grass in the yard, hopeful to fade the printing further. She was only marginally successful. On those bags, the printing was there to stay. On the summer evenings that Mother tackled the job of turning the bags into something useful, we five children would go to bed upstairs as usual, knowing that Mother’s job would go on long into the night at the Singer sewing machine We weren’t spared our nightly prayers around her knee, however. They were as important as our final trip out to the outhouse before climbing the stairs. I would have trouble falling asleep those nights. Not because I found the noise of the machine irksome, but because I didn’t want to miss a moment of the sound of it. I could picture in my mind, Mother hunched over the Singer, feeding the flour bags under the foot lever that steered the needle. I could picture her slippered feet working the foot pedal, with the rubber cord

that turned the sewing machine into something other than a piece of furniture that held potted geraniums when not in use. How I wished I could be downstairs in the kitchen, sitting beside her, watching her work her miracles with the flour bags. I knew when I came downstairs in the morning, there would be perhaps a new blouse made wearable with added red rick-rack braid around the collar and perhaps bright buttons down the front. Or there would be a stack of fresh tea towels, waiting for my sister Audrey’s deft hand at embroidering the ends with teacups or flowers. The biggest and the best of the bags would be saved for sheets. It would be years before I knew sheets came in one piece. Ours were made of four flour bags, sewn together, with seams going up the centre and from sideto-side. And always there would be new and fresh pinny aprons and of course, one or two pairs of new bloomers. Eventually sleep would overcome me. And I would doze off to the steady click-clack, click clack of the old Singer sewing machine, playing its steady tune downstairs in the kitchen.

t’s easy to buy hamburger patties already made up, but if you’d like to have a hamburger with more flavour, you might want to make your own. By adding seasonings to ground beef, along with breadcrumbs and an egg, you can make a hamburger patty with lots of flavour. Whatever seasoning you choose will add its own distinctive taste whether it’s oregano, basil, chili powder, cumin seed, caraway seed, garlic or onion. For the breadcrumbs, you can use dark rye, whole wheat or sourdough bread. This week’s recipe will get you started with a cuminflavoured mixture that makes great tasting hamburgers. CUMIN & ONION BURGERS

• 454 grams lean ground beef • 1 tbsp. olive or vegetable oil • 1/3 cup finely minced onion • 1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs • 1 egg • 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce • 1/4 tsp. cumin seed

PARTY PLATTERS

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff • 1/4 tsp. salt

or frying pan for one to two minutes per side. Move the burgers to an area of medium heat on your barbecue, or lower the frying pan temperature to medium. Lower the barbecue lid or place a lid on the frying pan, and cook the hamburgers for five to six minutes on one side. Don’t press them down with a spatula as this will squeeze out more moisture. Turn the patties over, and cook, covered, for another five to six minutes. When done, the internal temperature of the hamburger patties should read 160 F (71 C) on a meat thermometer. Serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings. Makes four hamburgers.

In a small frying pan, cook the onion in the oil until softened. In a large mixing bowl, combine the onion with the meat and remaining ingredients. Lightly mix the ingredients together with either a rubber spatula or with your hands. The mixture will be messy so wear latex gloves if you’re using your hands. Shape the mixture into four patties about two centimetres thick. Handle the meat gently, and don’t press down on it too hard. This helps to keep the mixture moist. Cook the hamburgers over high heat on a barbecue grill

Take a fresh approach to entertaining with delicious fresh party platters. Piled high with all the favourites, choose from colourful fresh fruit and vegetables (both with creamy dips), tasty sandwiches, fresh deli wraps, gourmet cheeses and tempting desserts.

Ottawa lands seat in federation of cities Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Coun. Tim Tierney is putting Ottawa back on the map in the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. The Beacon Hill-Cyrville councillor was elected as one of 16 members of the federation’s board representing Ontario, and will join an organization represented by 73 members nationwide. It’s been about four or five years since a representative from the capital was elected to participate in shaping the national message of Canadian municipalities, Tierney said. The group represents the interests of municipalities on policy and program issues within the federal government’s jurisdiction, which is why it’s especially significant for Ottawa to have a voice at that table, Tierney said. “We’re the National Capital Region,” he said. “It only makes sense that we have a seat at the table.” Some of the unique challenges Tierney said Ottawa faces include its vast geography and urban-suburban-rural divide, issues related to interprovincial connections with nearby Gatineau, and other federal jurisdictional issues created by overlap with the National Capital Commission. Tierney is especially interested in advocating for costsharing programs that pair federal funds with contributions from municipalities and perhaps the province, such as the

federal Economic Action Plan that led to many infrastructure projects “Being in Ottawa, I will be

R0011447376

able to bring that kind of rationale to the table and say, ‘Look, this is something we should be looking at,’” Tierney said.

NCC launches projects to animate the Rideau Canal laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A gourmet food truck, reading garden, temporary “beach” and more will pop up along the Rideau Canal this summer. It’s part of a new effort by the National Capital Commission to provide more attractions to “animate” the canal, a UNESCO World Heritage site that’s already a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. But this summer, there will be a bit more to see, eat and do along the canal. The NCC sought some innovative ideas to add more interest to the popular outdoor feature and while it isn’t funding the five projects it chose, it’s allowing them to use NCC land to make their ideas come to life. NCC chief executive Marie Lemay applauded the creativity of the 42 proposals the five winners were chosen from, calling their architects “creative entrepreneurs and city builders.” It’s a new idea for the NCC and “a bit of a risk,” Lemay said, but if the projects are successful they could continue for another two years. READING GARDEN

The initiative launched on June 7 at the Capital Reading Garden, one of the five winning ideas. It was hatched by Old Ottawa East resident Mary Beth Baker, who worked on the proposal as part of her Master of library and information studies degree in 2009. The garden is located just south of the Corkstown foot-

bridge near the University of Ottawa, on the east side of the canal. It’s a simple concept based on the Bryant Park Reading Room in New York. Baker’s non-profit group, the Capital Community Reading Garden, purchased about a dozen moveable chairs and some reading materials thanks to a $1,000 grant from the Ottawa chapter of the Awesome Foundation. The chairs will be set up and accompanied by a volunteer one weekend per month, July through September. People can stop by to relax in the shade, grab a book, magazine or newspaper or take advantage of the garden’s free Wi-Fi Internet. Baker said she wanted to provide a more passive activity for people to enjoy along the canal, which is lined with multi-use pathways usually packed with runners and cyclists. Baker said she hopes to continue the garden in the location for another two years, pending funding. Although not yet on the horizon, she said other areas in the city, such as the new William Street pedestrian area in the ByWard Market, might make good locations for additional open-air libraries. You can follow the project on Twitter @CapReadingGdn. GOURMET FOOD TRUCK

Thai-inspired delights await at a new gourmet food truck surrounded by patio seating in the shadow of the new Ottawa Convention Centre.

ROOFING

Sachin Anand of LeBreton Flats and Jason Victor of Nepean are calling it Pop-Up Patio and hope to feature a rotating menu of south-Asian and Middle-Eastern inspired dishes created in conjunction with chef Dung Lee, who runs a Thai soup truck at Lisgar and Elgin streets in Centretown. Sample dishes on launch day included a middle-eastern Kafka burger, Thai green curry jumbo shrimp on rice, a Vietnamese pork sub, short ribs and green curry poutine. That will be welcome news to Ottawa foodies, who often moan that Ottawa’s foodtruck licensing system is too restrictive and doesn’t allow for more creative options popping up in other cities. By the end of July, the duo hopes to license the patio and serve alcohol. The Pop-Up Patio will be open Thursday through Sunday until October. BEACH AND MORE

Another food offering is more familiar and sure to cool down parched canal-goers: four ice-cream trucks will be stationed along the canal, most likely at the University of Ottawa, near the Laurier Bridge, at Dow’s Lake and perhaps near Pretoria Bridge, said Beverly Vanderschoot, who owns Iceco Ltd. with her husband, in the Trainyards area. The carts will operate on weekends only until midJune, when they will be out every day of the week. One of the ice cream carts will likely be stationed near a makeshift beach on the north side of the Corkstown Bridge,

Dubbed “Rideau Beach and 8 Locks Flat,” the temporary beach will be modeled after an urban beach created on the shores of the Seine in Paris each summer. It will operate daily from

Guide Dogs enjoy busy weekend

Shirley Seward

Emma Jackson

Listening, Learning and Leading

EMC news - The Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind had a busy first week of June, as hundreds of visitors poured through the Manotick headquarters for Doors Open Ottawa on June 2 and dozens more returned to the village for a golf tournament on June 4. Despite a soggy weekend, Guide Dogs communications officer Steve Doucette said the open house was chaotic on Saturday, June 2 as hundreds of people came out for tours and demonstrations at the organization’s national headquarters on Rideau Valley Drive. The facility trains service dogs to help people with visual impairments, and clients from across the country live at the facility for up to four weeks while they train with their new dog. Doucette said the crowds coming through the facility were chaotic, and more people than staff could count showed up throughout the day. “It was so busy, it was unbelievable. This was steady, nonstop. We had hundreds of people waiting in line for a tour,” he said. He attributed the open house’s popularity to the fact that the organization partnered with Doors Open Ottawa, an annual weekend that allows residents free access to significant buildings across the city, for the first time this year. Being an official building in the Doors Open weekend promoted

the event to a number of Doors Open regulars that otherwise might not have heard about the Guide Dog event. While it was chaotic for staff and volunteers, Doucette said it was positive in terms of raising awareness about what the organization does. “It was a positive thing from a PR point of view. I think we educated a lot of people that day,” he said. Doucette said the Guide Dogs would like to partner with Doors Open again in the future, but it depends on the training schedule. When there are clients training with their service dogs at the facility, it is not open to tours or visitors. “It’s their home away from home. It’s to respect their privacy,” Doucette said. “We would (partner with Doors Open) again if the opportunity exists, but it depends on our schedule of training.” This year the facility just squeaked in to the Doors Open weekend, as clients left with their dogs on Friday. On Monday, June 4 visitors once again came out to support the Guide Dogs organization, but this time they were on the green. More than 70 golfers gathered for a charity golf tournament at the Carleton Golf and Yacht Club to enjoy lunch and dinner, a silent auction and, of course, 18 holes of golf. Doucette didn’t have final fundraising numbers at press

Parking-free apartments proposed for Bank Street Proposal for five-storey building on Bank and Florence won’t have any space for cars, only bicycles Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A five-storey apartment building proposed for Bank and Florence streets won’t have any parking spots for cars, only space for bicycles, a plan that deviates from the city’s zoning bylaws. The city’s built heritage advisory committee approved the building on June 7, although it still needs the OK from the committee of adjustment. If approved, it would feature bicycle storage, but no room for cars. “We want to cater to a particular niche,” said the property’s owner, Ali Asgari. “We have an expectation that they won’t own a car because of the proximity to transit.” Architect Brian Clark added there are also Bixi bicycle rental stations nearby, as well as Virtucar car-share vehicles. The ground floor will

house nearby business Galaxy Camera and a café, with 14 rental apartments above. It’s location on bustling Bank Street makes in the perfect spot to appeal to vehicle-less residents, said Asgari, who also owns Galaxy Camera. The new building would feature loft apartments on the top two floors, set back from the lower building façade. The surrounding rooftop would be used as amenity space for the future residents.

We have an expectation that they won’t own a car because of the proximity to transit. ALI ASGARI BUILDING OWNER

The city’s heritage planners like the new building because it fills in a “missing tooth” in Bank Street and offers a modern design that’s sympathetic to the heritage character of the area. A three-storey apartment building and restaurant on the site burned down in the early 2000s and the property near James Street Pub has remained vacant ever since.

WHAT A YEAR IT HAS BEEN! It is hard to believe that it is already the middle of June, and school is winding down for students. I love this time of year, when I have the privilege of attending the graduation and closing ceremonies at our schools. These occasions bring home to me the ways in which our public schools support our students, help them grow and learn, and develop in each child a sense of pride in their accomplishments. This year has been an especially good one, both in River Zone and the School Board as a whole. It has been a year of change and improvement. Some of the major achievements are having a very positive impact in our own schools:

It wasn’t so bad for golfing, we didn’t get rained on and that was the main thing,” Doucette said. He said he thinks numbers

were down because there are so many charitable golf tournaments vying for participants across the city. This tournament’s draw was that it took place at a private club – meaning it was non-members’ only opportunity to play the course.

Trustees have approved capital expenditure for rejuvenation and renewal in two schools in River Zone: Carleton Heights and W.E. Gowling. The school councils from both schools did an excellent job helping convince Trustees that work was badly needed. By September 2012, three schools in River Zone will have full day kindergarten: General Vanier, W.E. Gowling and Carleton Heights. In September 2014, Bayview will join the list. Working in partnership with the School Board, the Carleton Heights Child Care Centre (CHCCC) will be providing extended day care to full day kindergarten students, as well as childcare for pre-school children and older students. The Executive Director of the Centre sits on a small working group at the Board that is helping pave the way to successful implementation of the extended day program as the roll out of full day kindergarten continues.

One of the most important factors in student achievement and well-being is active parental engagement. As your Trustee, I am in awe of the parents, school councils, community organizations and immigrant groups who find the time to be actively involved in the public education system. Over the past year, people have come out to speak about childcare, special education, religious accommodation, transfer policy, mental health, inclusion, capital needs in our schools and a wide range of other issues. It is this engagement that makes my job as your Trustee such a joy.

Enjoy a beautiful view across the Mississippi River onto the sanctuary of Arklan Island. The safe shallow clear waters of the river provide the perfect summer playground. This stretch of the river is perfect for swimming, canoeing and the fishing is great.

On June 12, the Board of Trustees approved a budget of $794 million for 2012-2013, up about 1.7% from the current year. The budget includes increases for special education, infrastructure funding, improved transportation, and increased support for new immigrants. All of these improvements were recommended during the River Zone budget consultations I held in early April.

Over the past year I have been centrally involved in the Board’s Secondary Review, which is exploring a range of issues in high schools, including Brookfield in River Zone. We are tackling important questions such as – How do we make our schools true community hubs, serving students as well as families? Should schools be semestered? Should they be large or small? And, how do we make best use of technology and e-learning? The answers will help us make our schools leading edge learning centres.

But we must never be complacent. If one child falls between the cracks, or is struggling, or feels excluded, that is not good enough. Every child should be able to grow, to learn, and to reach their potential. Since becoming your Trustee in December 2010, I have worked with hundreds of parents whose children were facing difficulties at school. Together, we were able to make necessary changes to help these students thrive. If you have concerns, or suggestions about how we can make things better, I am only a phone call or email away.

EMC news – It’s a swashbuckling, freewheeling Rideau Canal adventure that you’ll never forget – until you wake up. Playgroup Presents, a burgeoning Manotick theatre troupe, will stage its historical romantic comedy “Dream of Silver� on June 19, 20 and 21 at the Manotick United Church, just minutes from the musical’s setting at the Long Island Locks. The hour-long one-act play begins with a scene familiar to most boaters on the canal: two teenagers in their drab Parks Canada uniforms, giving a breakdown of the area’s history as they man the Long Island Locks. One employee, Seamus, is lovesick for his coworker Elizabeth, who already has a boyfriend working down at the Manotick Pub. Her friends work there too, dressed as pirates while they serve beer to thirsty patrons during the summer months. Lovelorn and rejected, Seamus falls asleep at the lock over his lunch hour – awakening to gun shots in the 1830s. “The lockmaster is chasing two thieves that have tried to take off with the king’s silver, which is used to pay the workers in the canal,� explained Osgoode resident Brian Kennedy, who wrote and directed the play. The retired English and drama teacher attests that this part of his melodramatic comedy is actually true. In 1830, Lockmaster Collins was robbed of a barrel of Yankee half silver dollars, which was being used as currency at the time to pay the

Of course, the thieving “river piratesâ€? in 1830 are played by the same teens who play the modern-day pirate waitresses. While the lockmaster is chasing down his silver, Seamus meets the lockmaster’s daughter – also named Elizabeth, and played by the same actress, Greely resident Mychele Lebrun. Only this time, it’s love at ďŹ rst sight. “It’s a little melodramatic maybe, its light entertainment.

It’s nothing that requires too much thought,â€? laughed Kennedy. On top of the historic melodrama, the play also features six Celtic tunes, four of which have been commandeered with new lyrics to suit the plot. A live band will lead the music, with several ďŹ ddlers including Kennedy, his wife Maureen Kennedy on the Irish ute, pianist Roxy McCarthy, Tom Plant and several other local musicians.

It is hard to believe it, but the 2011-2012 school year is rapidly coming to an end and summer will soon be quickly upon us. Therefore, I would like to take a moment to congratulate the students, teachers and staff of Zone 7 on another successful year and I would like to give my very best to those students who are graduating from the board and moving out into the world. The OCDSB continues to be recognized as one of the best school boards in Ontario, if not Canada, and this is due in large part to the achievements of our students and the dedication and commitment of our teachers and staff. As the School Trustee for Gloucester-Southgate/Osgoode Township/Gloucester-South Nepean, it is a great privilege to serve the many diverse communities and schools that make up this part of the City. Have a safe summer!

dancing children will also perform during the production. Five actors will ďŹ ll all the roles of the play, with modern-day characters showing up in similar roles in Seamus’s historical dream. Twenty-year-old Tim Robillard plays the lovesick Seamus, and said he’s looking forward to stretching his vocals and taking the lead in only the second performance of his acting career. He ďŹ rst took to the stage at the end of March as Rolf, the also lovelorn Nazi youth in the Greely Players’ production of Sound of Music. He said Seamus is a similar character, minus the Nazi beliefs. “The character of Seamus is kind of the same, he’s goofy and all over the place and in love with this girl,â€? he said. Robillard got involved with Greely Players because his younger brother has been performing with them “foreverâ€? and Robillard always wanted to act. “I was into sports more in high school,â€? he said. Since he took a year off school this year, it was high time to try out the stage. The show begins at 7: 30 p.m. each night. Tickets are available at Manotick OfďŹ ce Pro or at the door. Proceeds will go towards the Raise the Roof campaign to replace the Watson’s Mill roof.

McCann’s pentathlon finish builds confidence for Olympics Mac Christie macchristie@metroland.com

EMC news - Melanie McCann recently finished in seventh place at another World Cup competition in China, her best-ever result in modern pentathlon. While she has to work hard on all five events - pistol shooting, epee fencing, 200m freestyle swimming, show jumping and three-km crosscountry running - McCann said she’s put in a lot of work on swimming and running over the winter. Several weeks ago, she recorded a ninth place finish in Hungary at a World Cup event. McCann’s previous top finish in a World Cup event was 15th, something she’d recorded three times. Heading into the 2012 Olympic Games in London, the 22-year-old said her placing gives her a lot of confidence. “It means that whatever my coaches and I have been doing over the winter has obviously been working,” she said. “We can just keep moving forward without changing a lot on the training end of things.” McCann, originally from Mount Carmel, Ont., returned to Canada after a week of fencing training in Paris, where she worked on some specific actions to improve her tactics. “Paris is one of the best cities in the world for fenc-

ing, so I thought it would be a good training camp for me,” she said. “It was good. I was able to work really hard without worrying about resting for any sort of competition.” Now she’s back in Ottawa, where she lives when she’s not competing, focused on training with coach John Hawes. “I moved to Ottawa in 2010 to be closer to my coach,” she said, adding that she trains at Carleton University and the RA Centre unless she is travelling for competitions. McCann, who is home after the three worlds competitions, said she has seven or eight weeks to start training for the Olympic Games in London. “I want to work on getting faster and fitter for my running,” she said, adding she is also planning on tweaking her fencing technique. “I usually get the most points in fencing so I think it’s important to focus on that,” she said. However, over the past year McCann said her biggest improvement has come in shooting. “I’ve been shooting consistently quite well,” she said. “There’s still room to bring my time down a little more, but I’m able to be competitive now with the rest of the field.” McCann came into modern pentathlon from a swimming and running background, which she said is different

than most Canadian pentathletes. “I took up riding rather late in my pentathlon career,” she explained. “A lot of other Canadians come from a pony club background where they grow up riding.” Despite her late start, show jumping has been a strong event for McCann this season, recording one of the top three rides in each competition. While McCann said there is an element of randomness or luck to success in the riding event, since a rider only meets their horse 20 minutes before the competition, she said she’s worked hard on her riding and is pleased to see her experience and training come through. “I’m feeling really positive on the horse,” she said. “I couldn’t be happier.” It’s been a successful year so far for McCann, who qualified for the Olympics after a fourth-place finish at the Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, in October. She also captured the provincial and national senior women’s titles and was named the top modern pentathlete at the Ottawa Sports Awards in January. “Pentathlon is so, so unpredictable though,” she explained. “You never know how the next event will go, but I’m enjoying every minute of it.” She competed at the world championships in Rome from

Melanie McCann, left, and Donna Vakalis pose with a horse after being nominated to the 2012 Canadian Olympic team for pentathlon at an event in Vancouver on June 6. McCann lives in Ottawa’s Central Park neighbourhood. May 7 to 12 and then went to Chengdu, China, for the World Cup final at the end of May. After these stops she has some time off from competing before heading to Britain in late July to prepare for the Olympics. “I can’t give you a placing that I want,” she said. “I want to have a really solid performance and a really positive experience at the Olympic Games.” McCann said it will be tough to keep focused on her

event and take in the experience without being overwhelmed, but added she has a good support team to keep her on track. “I have a big group of family and friends that are coming,” she said of the Olympic trip. “I’m really excited to have them there and cheer me on, so hopefully I can put on a good show for them. It means the world to me that they’re going to be there.” As for future plans, McCann said she’d like to com-

pete for another four years and continue on to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, noting she’ll rest and re-evaluate after London. But for the coming Olympics, McCann said a medal is a realistic possibility. “In pentathlon you can see anyone from the top 15 shoot to the podium,” she said. “It’s definitely realistic, but I’ll have to take it one event at a time before I can think about that.” With files from Jennifer McIntosh

Do you like potato chips, or do you prefer chocolate chips? Maybe this Chip is the right chip for you! He is a six-monthold neutered male, white and black Harrier mix who is already microchipped! He was brought to the shelter as a stray on April 3, and is now ready to find his forever home. Chip likes to be the boss! He needs an experienced owner who will help him understand his role in the pack. He has a lot of potential to excel at obedience or agility with the right training and socialization. Chip gets along well with teens and adults who will be assertive and won’t let him get away with any mischievous behaviour. He’d rather not live with other dogs. Chip’s new forever family will need to enrol him in obedience training and will need to show proof of enrolment before his adoption can be finalized.

Wherefore art thou Romeo? He’s waiting for you at the Ottawa Humane Society! This handsome orange tabby domestic shorthair cat is one year and seven moons old. He is looking for a companion who will shower him with affection and keep him company. He was found wandering about as a stray and was brought to the shelter on April 26, and he’s now looking for his forever home, where he can relax and have a midsummer night’s dream.

For more information on these or other pets currently available for adoption through the Ottawa Humane Society, please contact 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www.ottawahumane.ca.

Professional pet sitters are an excellent alternative to kennelling, especially for cats who often don’t do well out of their home environment. Check the yellow pages for people or businesses offering these services. Better yet, talk to friends and family and find out if they can recommend someone. Always check references and look for someone who is bonded. If you need to leave your pet in a kennel, look for these things: UÊ ÀiÊÌ iÊV>}iÃÊV i> Ê> `Ê >À}iÊ enough for your pet? UÊ ÃÊÜ>ÌiÀÊ>Û> >L iÊ>ÌÊ> ÊÌ iö UÊ ÊÌ iÊ i i Ê Ü iÀÃÊ Ã ÃÌÊ Ê all vaccinations? UÊ ÜÊ vÌi ÊÜ ÊÞ ÕÀÊ«iÌÊÀiVi ÛiÊ exercise? What kind of exercise? UÊ ÃÊÌ iÊL >À` }Ê>}Àii i ÌÊ complete and satisfactory?

Time to make a grooming appointment

Hi there! We are 3 year old brothers...Our names are Kiki and Koko and we are budgies. We have many brothers and sisters that are canaries and zebra finches. Our human mother opens the door of our cage early every morning and we spend the whole day free to do as we want. We love to visit and perch on all the other cages and wish they could come out and play also. When we do get the chance because of an open cage door, we go in and visit although we are never welcomed by the cage’s tenant. We like to fly around the house a bit to get our daily exercise but mostly we just stay on our perch and enjoy all the activities going on in the house. We are very spoiled with the many treats and fresh fruits and vegetables we get every day. We must say life is pretty good here!

Many pets are given up at vacation time because of a perceived inconvenience. Thousands of pets who were left with “pet sitters” are lost each year. A bit of planning can help keep your animal companions happy and safe during your vacation. If you leave your pet behind, take time to explain your pet’s routine to the sitter and include a list of instructions of what to do if the pet is lost. A relative or a friend who knows your pet (or gets to know him or her before you leave) can be with your pet most of the day or keep your pet’s routine similar, is ideal Before you go, leave an adequate supply of food, grooming instructions, exercise routine and your veterinarian’s (including emergency clinic) telephone number. Also inform your microchip provider of the temporary contact numbers. If possible, leave your itinerary and phone numbers. Ensure that your pet is wearing a collar and tag and has had all vaccinations. Phone your sitter a couple of times to check in.
