Bike cops hit the streets Ottawa police patrol Russell Heights paths Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - “This is a bad neighbourhood, you know.”

From the mouths of babes.

The words hit me hard from a boy of about eight years old, circling around us on his little blue bicycle.

I was with three Ottawa police constable escorts, cruising through rows of townhouses on our Stevens S8 special edition bicycles. Cop bikes.

Genial chatter between cops and about 10 young men about basketball and Dwayne Wade’s failed rap album fooled me into thinking they were a harmless group of high-school buddies, but that eight-yearold kid knew better.

Russell Heights, unfortunately, is a bad neighbourhood.

But all bad neighbourhoods have good folks, and that’s why Const. Trevor Smith, his counterparts, constables Graham and Lawrence and on that occasion, me, were there on June 14, as the low afternoon sun worked its way towards setting. Graham and Lawrence asked for their first names to be withheld.

The good folks like to see the boys in blue says Smith, one of 16 East Division beat cops from the neighbourhood office who spends May to October circling neighbourhoods from Orleans to South Keys on his bicycle.

EMC news – Ottawa South MP David McGuinty has been elected to head the Canadian chapter of an international alliance of lawmakers that presses governments to address global environmental problems, such as global warming.

The Liberal MP received all-party support to become the president of Globe Canada on June 12.

“I am very humbled to have been elected by all parties to begin building some cross-

party momentum,” said McGuinty.

The Canadian chapter of Globe International has been inactive for too long, said McGuinty, who promised to reenergize the organization.

One of the issues the chapter will follow closely is Canada’s progress in reducing its greenhouse emissions by 17 per cent of 2005-levels by 2020, he said.

“We’ll see what is happening, how well this is going, and what can legislators in all parties do to take actions on issues as important as climate

change,” he said.

McGuinty said he hopes legislators can help re-establish Canadian credibility internationally.

“Canada as a country, we have multilateralism in our DNA, and I really get concerned with some of the choices being made by the government today about our multilateral role and responsibilities – including losing a United Nations Security Council seat. I find that difficult as a former UN official,” he said.

McGuinty said the choices

made by Canada’s Conservative government won’t make the chapter’s work any easier.

“I don’t think anyone can afford to lose hope in this regard,” said McGuinty.

“These issues are too important to let languish and that is why I am excited to take this on and work with all sides of the house to build this momentum.”

McGuinty said he hopes to re-energize the Canadian chapter of Globe International.

There was despair in living rooms and pubs across the city, including Georgetown Sports Pub in Old Ottawa South, where England fans congregated. The quarter final game between England and Italy on June 24 finished goalless after extra time before the dreaded spot kicks sealed Italy’s victory in Ukraine.

Electricity consumers across Ontario are now billed using time of use rates. Under this new pricing structure, the price of electricity varies depending on when it is used.

“Customers can choose to make small changes to conserve energy or shift some of their consumption to lower price periods to save,” said Bryce Conrad, President and CEO of Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. Time of use rates align the price customers pay for electricity with real market prices, which change throughout the day based on supply and demand.

Electricity rates are lowest, or off-peak, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., on weekends and on statutory holidays.

In the summer, electricity rates are highest from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The on-peak periods are during the hottest part of the afternoon when air conditioners run the most.

“These rates give us all a financial incentive to reduce our electricity use, especially during peak periods,” said Conrad.

An easy way to trim peak demand is to set the timer on your dishwasher so it runs after 7 p.m.

Washing and drying a load of laundry during offpeak periods costs about 52 cents, while the same consumption during peak periods would cost 94 cents.

Hydro Ottawa’s online portal, MyHydroLink, allows customers to learn about their electricity consumption.

This secure site shows customers a detailed breakdown of their electricity consumption, by the day, month or billing period.

“MyHydroLink truly provides our customers with a wealth of information,” said Conrad. “And now, this information is also available straight from your smartphone with our new mobile website at www.hydroottawa.com. We’re trying to make it easier for our customers to manage their electricity use.”

MyHydroLink customers can also view their account balance, bill payment history and even register for E-Billing. To set up your account, visit www.hydroottawa.com/myhydrolink.

Ash trees, ash borers pile up at Trail Road landfill Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

ADVICE NOT TAKEN

The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources has advice for anyone dealing with ash borer infestations and the city appears to have disregarded those instructions.

The ministry’s website says “trees dead or dying from emerald ash borer should be cut and burned, chipped.�

Van Ingen said it was a terrible idea to move the trees from where they were felled,

Submitted

as any movement will certainly spread the bugs further aďŹ eld. He said south Nepean and nearby parts of the city are almost certainly going to see more borers because of the ash piling up at Trail Road.

If the trees had to be moved from where they were cut down, he wants to know why the city didn’t kill the borers as soon as they arrived at Trail Road. He said the borers don’t dig deep into trees, and are only found in the layer just below the bark called the cambium.

Removing the bark and the affected cambium layer for burning could have killed the borers, as could burning of the complete trees. Alternately, van Ingen said trees could have been fumigated or contained on arrival at the Trail Road “They’ve just done nothing,� he said.

Heather Hamilton says different levels of government “have fumbled their way through� the response to the ash borer problem.

Hamilton is the chairwoman of the city’s forests and greenspace advisory committee, which provides advice to

Carpenter John Howarth stands beside the growing pile of downed ash trees at the Trail Road landfill.

The city is piling up trees infested with eme4rald ash borers that could spread to nearby ash trees. city councillors. “There has been big expansion of emerald ash borer and cutting this year,� she said. “The trees have been going to Trail (Road) for a couple of years but not in these quantities (in previous years).

Hamilton said the forests and greenspace advisory committee “had some qualms� about storing the cut trees to Trail Road. “We were concerned that it would help to spread the problem.�

A city map dated April 2012 shows a few spots around Trail Road where ash borers are located. Hamilton said there’s no way to know if the city’s pile of cut ash is the source of the local hotspots, “but it’s a distinct possibility.�

As the pile grows, the number of bugs likely grows too, making their spread more likely.

R0011377702

The pile of ash trees at the Trail Road landďŹ ll covers an area about the size of a football ďŹ eld. And every day it gets taller and wider.

The trees are being cut down on city property across Ottawa in an attempt to prevent the spread of the emerald ash borer, which kills ash trees.

One Ottawa man is concerned that the pile of dead trees is going to become the epicentre of a borer infestation, and the city will be responsbile for the disaster. “This is just the tip of the iceberg,� said Bert van Ingen, who has watched the pile get bigger and bigger as more ash is cut down. “One in four trees in eastern Ontario is ash.�

The pile at Trail Road began about two years ago and is now at least 80 metres long and ďŹ ve metres tall in places.

Van Ingen said he’s worked in the tree management ďŹ eld and that even though the ash trees at Trail Road have been cut down, the borers in the trees are still alive.

June is a peak period for

the ying form of the borers to emerge from the trees and disperse to surrounding areas. “They’ve been coming out for the last three weeks,â€? he said of the ying borers.

At risk are ash trees, which make up an estimated 25 per cent of Ottawa’s urban and rural forests. City statistics show 18,000 hectares of rural forest cover – on both public and private land – is made up of ash.

In total, there are 75,000 ash trees on streets and in cityowned parks. Since the emerald ash borer was ďŹ rst found in Ottawa in 2008, the number of ash trees has been reduced by the bugs and by cutting to prevent its spread.

Global warming on Globe Canada’s agenda where they are active; are following through on their promises to make improvements when it comes to environment and economy,� said McGuinty.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are rebooting our chapter, re-energizing it and reconstituting it with MPs from all sides of the house who want to form a community of interest in the House of Commons,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that our chapter was not active was problematic to me.â&#x20AC;?

McGuinty said he wants to build a chapter with members who are not overly partisan to tackle issues of interest to the majority of Canadians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means I bring to bear all my local and international experience working on economic trade and environmental issues and even local issues,â&#x20AC;? said McGuinty, adding that those issues transcend any one party, any one order of government and constituency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is too big and too important for us to allow these differences to get in our way.â&#x20AC;?

Ottawa fundraiser helps Kenyan nursery school open first classroom Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

CLASSES BEGIN

Last week, about 30 excited students and their teachers had their ďŹ rst lesson in the newly completed classroom.

Elimu continues to raise awareness for children at risk in rural Kenya through its education-based initiatives.

Chung, who spends most of the year in Kenya overseeing three charitable projects, said the community came to her with the nursery-school idea and asked her to help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to give them a decent facility and lots of space for teachers to be able to teach the kids,â&#x20AC;? said Chung.

The school will accommodate more than 100 students in a village with no running water

or electricity.

For the past four years, Upendo was a make-shift nursery school with teachers doing their best amidst cramped temporary shelters with mud ďŹ&#x201A;oors, a leaky roof and no real school supplies.

In 2011, Chung met with village leaders and purchased a plot of land that will ultimately be bought back and owned by the community.

Thanks to the growing number of donations from Canadians and from around the world, Upendo school is a dream about to be realized.

Canyon Walk School Age Program child-care centre in Riverside South alone has raised more than $7,000 towards the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody knows it is a great cause and many people are inclined to get involved,â&#x20AC;? said Suzanne Stoltz, project advisor.

She said she got involved because the project is very tangible and well managed.

Eddie Rwema

Since July 2010, Canyon Walk School Age Program child care centre has raised over $7,000 towards Upendo Nursery School building project with a vast variety of fund-raising activities like raffles and bake sales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The past year has been incredible and we are just getting started. Elimu donors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay for administrative expenses. 100 per cent of every dollar given goes directly to the projects,â&#x20AC;? said Stoltz.

Elimu has worked closely with the local village to build the school in strategic stages and to use local materials and labour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On completion it will be more than just a nursery

school, it will provide one of the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only permanent structures which would put the village on the map for travelling doctors to perform health checks,â&#x20AC;? said Chung.

In September, the villagers ďŹ rst turned out in force to break ground. All construction was done by hand and the water to mix concrete is carried in from a community standpipe by villagers.

Completion of the entire

project is targeted for end of this year, with the ofďŹ cial school opening scheduled for January 2013.

The entire project will cost around $25,000.

This summer, Cocoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cafe and Goodfellow Cleaners will have donation boxes on site for Elimu, while Tiny Hoppers and Global Child Care Services are hosting several fundraisers.

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cocoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cafe in Riverside South was abuzz with Kenyan coffee and African music on June 22, during a fundraiser for the construction of a nursery school in a rural village in Kenya.

The fundraiser was run by Elimu, an Ottawa-based nonproďŹ t group created to build schools and other educational facilities in east Africa.

All proceeds from small coffees and small ice creams sold over a two-day period will go to fund Upendo Nursery School in Sabaki village in Kenya.

Construction of the nursery school is well underway, with one classroom and a toilet already completed.

Elimu is hoping to raise $6,000 by August to fund construction of a second classroom, said Nina Chung, director of the Ottawa charity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The school will eventually

be three classrooms and an ofďŹ ce area and so far largely with the help of Riverside South community we have been able to raise enough money to build a toilet and one classroom,â&#x20AC;? said Chung.

Public says it wants to see more police on bicycles From BIKE PATROL, page 1

In this case they were wearing black: black bike shorts topped with cargo shorts and heavy black vest strapped over black golf shirt.

The good folks like to see the officers are out there, pounding the pavement, circling parks and scaring off kids smoking dope … and people selling dope. I was along to tell you what they see on an average day.

SETTING OUT

Our evening didn’t begin in Russell Heights. It started at the police station in Orleans, tucked off Highway 174 at 10th Line Road.

Paperwork shuffle out of the way, we headed to the garage to find bicycles to ride. Smith’s bike is off being used for training, so he grabs another one and outfits me with the same.

It’s an ultralight 27-speed bike with a suspension that puts my ’70s Raleigh cruiser to shame.

For me, it was a couple loops around the parking lot and we were off. Smith had it a bit tougher. He’s been on a bike for years, first as a beat cop in Toronto and now in Ottawa, but he and his counterparts have to take a CanBike refresher course each year.

From the sounds of it, it entails biking through most of the city, learning basic safety and more police-specific manoeuvres, like creating a bikewall barrier.

If I wasn’t along, the group of three or four cops might have set out to ride to the south end, but they cut me some slack and loaded our bikes onto an unmarked Impala.

We set off for Train Yards shopping plaza – a central starting point for our tour of some of the city’s roughest neighbourhoods, where gang violence, robberies and especially drug trafficking have taken hold.

But before we get to that, we’re sidetracked.

A woman runs across the shopping centre parking lot, waving us over to a 14-yearold boy wrestling to keep a large black dog in check. The woman says she saw the boy give the dog a violent kick, so the officers have a chat with

him and fan out into the stores to look for his parents.

There’s no charge, but there is a lesson in pet care and some advice for a harried mother reticent to give up a dog her children love, but can’t care for.

Sometimes, a beat cop is an animal trainer and parenting coach.

REACTIONS

After that 45-minute interlude, we hit the road and cruise through Blair Court, along Station Road.

Watch the reactions, Smith tells me. Some people turn away or drop cell phones into their pockets (many people charged with crimes are released on conditions, including not carrying a cell phone).

Others wave, smile, nod approvingly.

We get a few double takes when we’re biking around, likely because people mistake us for leisure cyclists at first, until they notice the gear.

But in Blair Court, the streets are eerily quiet. This is where a woman was brazenly robbed at knifepoint recently – a relatively common occurrence, Smith says, but this particular incident caught the police’s attention.

Seeing no one around is troubling to the cops.

As we round the bend, strains of children’s laughter creep towards us and colourful balloons come into view.

It’s the annual summer kickoff at Blair Court Community House, hosted by community police officer, Const. Gary McCoy. It’s obvious how McCoy’s role overlaps with the work carried out by Smith and the neighbourhood office cops.

His presence in the community and as the “eyes on the street” clear out any other potentially suspicious behaviour in the neighbourhood, and that’s an effect the bike cops hope to replicate when they’re out and about.

“It’s a more intimate way of policing, I guess. It’s a more personal way because we’re close to people and they see us out of the cars,” Smith says.

“On the bikes, realistically we’re able to sneak up on a lot of people that we can’t do with

R0011473345

Ottawa South EMC - Thursday, June 28, 2012

a car.”

Getting that police presence out there is important to the service, says Smith’s staff sergeant, Roland Campbell.

People like to see cops on bikes and they always want to see more, he says.

A recent survey of residents found that people don’t think the Ottawa police department is doing well with direct engagement with citizens at a local level. The highest mark in that category was for the police’s efforts to work with residents to solve local crime, with 53 per cent of respondents deeming the approach to be good or very good. Only 34 per cent of people who took the survey said the police presence in their neighbourhood on foot or bike was good or very good – the lowest result in that category.

When Campbell started policing in 1987, bikes simply weren’t used. They came into popularity for policing in the late 1990s, he says, and the city’s police service has never looked back.

“We work for the community,” Campbell says. “(Bikes) are more accessible … The tool is becoming more popular.”

“It’s great for us,” Smith says. “We see a lot more from the bikes than the car, and we hear more too.”

The farmer’s tan is brutal, though, Smith says with a laugh.

GROUND ZERO

From sunshine and barbecues to shaded laneways, we cross Russell Road at Haig Drive and land in Russell Heights – considered to be one of the city’s “ground zeroes” for gang activity.

Priorities are set by staff sergeants, but the constables know where to go. They’ll head to troubled neighbourhoods to give police visibility in areas from which residents call in complaints about gangs, drug trafficking and violence.

While Blair Court was a meandering tour, Russell Heights required more strategy. The cops know this co-op housing development like the backs of their hands and quickly piece together a plan to box in a group of men known to police.

Laura Mueller

Const. Trevor Smith loads up bicycles for himself and reporter Laura Mueller at the Orleans police station before heading out to patrol in East Division As Smith and I come up the rear of the courtyard, Lawrence and Graham are already checking the IDs of a group of around 10 guys leaning against a fence.

“Any involvement with the police?” they are asked. The response is headshakes and “No” all around.

They’re quiet, compliant.

They’ve been through this before. The police run their records to see if they are telling the truth and check if they have any warrants or release conditions they are breaching.

That’s often how the police are able to bag a criminal, Smith says.

But if a justice of the peace lets them out again, it’s Smith who will hear about it from neighbours as he bikes through the community.

“It’s frustrating,” he says.

This group checks out, but it takes some time and radioing back and forth with dispatch. The men get annoyed – they’re going to be late for a basketball game.

“Do you do this in other neighbourhoods?” one asks.

“I match the description every day, man.”

Smith defuses the chatter,

reminding the guys that the good people in the neighbourhood want them there, and the only people who don’t are ones that are causing trouble.

After switching the subject back to basketball – a personal interest that often comes in handy in those types of situations, Smith admits – they depart with a friendly warning.

“We’re going to be here all summer, guys. You’re going to be seeing us around.”

Later, at the station, the cops tell me they recognized most of the men, and every single one of them had a rap sheet of charges and convictions.

FACE TO FACE

Between chatting about basketball and cycling around, Smith says that sometimes his job “hardly feels like work.”

He’s bluffing, but it’s clear how much he enjoys face-toface policing, and he’s experienced. He tries to cover a lot of territory and remember a lot of names and faces, but it’s something he’s so passionate about that he might keep doing it for his whole career – if he doesn’t make chief, of course.

Constables like Smith can

cover upwards or 50 kilometres patrolling their areas, or they could run into a person wanted by police within the first few metres. Most frequently, they bike around 20 kilometres per shift.

Usually those kilometres are covered with slow-paced patrolling, but Smith has taken up the occasional bike pursuit.

“You can’t outrun a bike.

Maybe Ben Johnson in his heyday, but you’re not going to outrun a bike,” he says.

Parks are another big focus for the neighbourhood office, so when Smith peels off for a meeting, Graham, Lawrence and I continue on to Petrie Island.

This summer is shaping up to be a hassle for them to patrol parks, the cops hint. Within 30 minutes, the constables speak to at least five pairs or groups of people who claim to know nothing of the city’s new ban on smoking in parks and on beaches.

Those smokers got verbal warnings only; fines will be handed out starting July 2.

But like anyone cycling on the roads or trials, cops are more exposed. They don’t have the speed to chase a car or the ability to transport a suspect, and they are out in the open without a shell to protect them if a situation gets violent.

That’s rare, the officers say.

Most of the time they’re simply hitting trails and parks and tucking into laneways that vehicles can’t access, deterring criminal activity and keeping an eye out for recognizable faces. They are often called in as “gophers” to assist with big arrests or marijuana grow operation busts.

And most importantly, the officers are out there, showing the badge in areas that need them around.

Like in Riverview Park, enroute to Russell Heights.

A woman rode by on a bike of her own, turning around to shout, “Thank you! I don’t see you here too often.”

“See?” Smith said, turning to me. “That’s why we do it.”

Hunt Club Gate Park opens Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroalnd.com

EMC news - It was a hot day, but everybody was smiling in Greenboro, as the city officially opened the new Hunt Club Gate Park located on Macoun Circle, near Conroy and Johnston roads.

Officially cutting the ribbon on June 20, GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans said it was wonderful to see the energy and excitement the new park has generated in the community.

Five-year-old Euan Bruff has a swinging good time at the newly opened Hunt Club Gate Park on Macoun Circle on June 20.

By: Your Local Family Physiotherapy Team Lower leg pain, commonly referred to as ‘shin splints’, is an overuse injury that irritates many a runner or athlete. Shin splint pain can be classified into four stages based on severity: 1. Light pain or stiffness after exercise.

2. Pain at the beginning of exercise, disappearing during the warm-up.

3. Pain during and following exercise, and pain at night.

Pain disappears after long rest and inactivity.

4. Constant pain. The pain does not disappear after rest.

Shin splints occur when excessive loading and stress is placed on the lower leg bone (tibia) during weight bearing

exercises such as walking, running or jumping without proper recovery. For example, if a triathlete takes a hiatus from running for 3 months and starts training again by running everyday for 5km without proper rest, their legs would likely not be able to handle the sudden increase in stress. When the body cannot strengthen the bone fast enough to keep up with the stress being placed on them, shin splints occur.

Other factors that may contribute to shin splints include flat feet, old shoes, running or walking on hard surfaces, tight calf muscles and weak ankle stabilizers.

Preferred treatment for shin splints typically includes ice

Help pump up Canada’s athletes this July 1

T

here’s no doubt that Hudson’s Bay Company is hoping Canadians are well aware of the Olympics, and will don Team Canada’s new 2012 Olympic Games gear come July 1.

But all commercial interests aside, Canada Day is a prime date to start gearing up for the upcoming Games.

Many of our athletes will

likely refrain from an all-day, beer and barbecue celebration; most will spend at least a portion of the day training for one of the biggest competitions of their lives, less than a month away.

We love Canada, and you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn’t look forward to the day where we celebrate all things Canadian.

And that includes our ath-

letes on the road to London.

Canada Day is the perfect time to find your local athletes to cheer on at the Olympics. We can let our pride and excitement carry us through to the July 27 opening ceremonies.

The Olympic Games are almost as patriotic as July 1 itself, with our athletes proudly wearing the country’s colours on an international stage.

When they march into the stadium for the opening ceremonies, there’s an excitement that comes alive that even a packed nation’s capital and fireworks can’t always reach.

We’re proud to be Canadian when among an international crowd, and it’s a great thing to be able to support so many athletes abroad.

When we can quantify being the best in the world at

something, it helps pump up some national pride.

The celebration is a great time to not only reflect on the opportunities that we are given as Canadians, but to engage with our Olympic teams and start thinking ahead.

So this Canada Day, think about the athletes who are training to represent us and who will wear the maple leaf in a few short weeks.

We’ve got our own website at www.yourottawa region.com that identifies Ontario and Ottawa-based Olympians that we’re excited to follow, and with Canada Day coming, we’re even more amped to see them achieve their dreams.

Let’s get behind them and keep our patriotic spirits up as we count down the days until the London 2012 Olympic Games.

COLUMN

What’s a Canadian? What a question CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

A

s usual, Canada Day will be a microcosm of our country. People will head off to the lakes to find some peace and quiet, or they may hop onto some noisy device when they get there, disturbing other people’s peace and quiet.

People will congregate with thousands of other people in downtown Ottawa. They will solemnly celebrate our country’s 145 years or they will party like crazy and leave a mess.

If they are a bit more scholarly, they might visit a museum to learn more about their country (amazingly, in this time of cutbacks, the museums are open). Or, being Canadians, they may ignore the whole thing and drive into the United States to do some shopping.

It’s what makes this country great, the fact that there is no one way to do things, even on our national holiday. Not that this hasn’t been said before. In fact, it’s hard to find anything to say about Canada that hasn’t been said before on Canada Day by some Canadian.

Most of it has been pretty admiring. Canada Day gives us the opportunity to admire ourselves and there is much to admire, not all of it scenic. One of the things we admire is that fact that we don’t tend to be a self-admiring nation.

Canadians are their own worst critics, and whenever someone in a foreign country writes something critical about Canada he will find many Canadians eager to agree with him.

Obviously, this isn’t all to the good. Just as it is not ideal to be chest-thumping patriots, unwilling to recognize any national faults, it’s not ideal either to be so envious of other countries that we can’t see the virtues in our own.

You know the bit about how Canadians are boring (especially in Ottawa). Many Canadians seem all too willing to buy into that. Yet there’s something to be said for a little boredom, if it means safe streets, no civil war, no mass starvation.

Having said all that, what’s new to say about this Canada Day? Well, we have economic woes, which we’ve had before. In the capital, we face public service cutbacks, which we’ve seen before too. It’s hotter than usual, but then, it’s been hotter than usual before and we all always say we’ve never seen it this hot.

Sometimes it’s cooler than usual and we say we haven’t seen it this cool.

And there is more concern that climate change threatens the lakes, forests and oceans that define us. That concern doesn’t seem to have penetrated the political level. But we have lived with that for a while too.

Same old, same old. One thing that feels different is that Canada Day seems less a time for national introspection than it used to be. In years gone by it was common for Canada Day to inspire a wave of earnest commentary seeking to define Canada or, maybe worse, seeking to inspire others to define Canada.

Defining Canada was a big national industry for a time. If you had a nickel for every time you saw the words “whither Canada,” you could balance the federal budget. Another opportunity wasted.

For a while there we were so busy defining ourselves that we could barely look at the fireworks but, fortunately, those days seem to have passed. We may be self-critical at times but we are also self-confident. We know that we have great innovators, great artists. We have great books and great music and we know that now. Not that we necessarily reward those who produce them. That comes next, perhaps.

We don’t worry any more that our kids won’t want to be Canadians. They have shown us that they do. The tricky part now is to create an economy and a social climate that will make them glad they stayed.

That thought wasn’t meant to spoil the party.

Hume offers ice cream for ideas Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume is taking public open house to yet another level â&#x20AC;&#x201C; offering free ice creams in exchange of ideas and thoughts on how best to improve and rejuvenate Weston Park.

On June 23, Hume had the new-to-Ottawa Merry Dairy truck on site at Weston Park, serving up their famous frozen custard to the first 100 residents who stopped by to provide feedback. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have used traditional methods, put ads in newspapers, wrote columns and the feedback that we were getting was very small. We get one or two people who would respond to the ad,â&#x20AC;? said Hume.

Hume said providing incentives like ice cream was a fun way to get residents out together, chatting with each other and providing his team with great insight into whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed at the park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you are spending

hundreds of thousands of dollars on a park in a community, you want to get as much community involvement as possible so that what you do, will be attractive for those people who live in the area,â&#x20AC;? said Hume.

According to a release from Humeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, since the 2009 changes to the cash-in-lieu program, Alta Vista ward has accumulated a pool of funds from the cash-in-lieu-of-parkland monies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; dollars paid by developers to put towards parks and green spaces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coun. Hume is ensuring those dollars go where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make the greatest impact, taking on several park rejuvenation and renovation projects this year. Weston Park is the latest project, with construction scheduled to start in the construction season of 2013.â&#x20AC;?

Hume said the incentive was another way he was trying out of how to engage people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People live busy lives and we wanted to do something different that might generate

Richard and son Eli Lincoln with Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume at Weston Park on June 13. Hume was collecting ideas from residents on how best to rejuvenate and update the park. a positive feel in the community and encourage people to give us their ideas about the park,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Hume added that everyone from families, to dog walkers, to day care providers take advantage of the park, and he wants them to ensure the renovations and additions that are being brought in are what the community is asking for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to modernize the

facilities in the park â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether it is adding water fountains or other facilities that make this place attractive in a modern context,â&#x20AC;? said Hume.

Alta Vista resident Richard Lincoln hopes the rejuvenation will improve the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playground and spare the skating rink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Renovating the playground equipment, the swimming pool and probably mak-

ing it a splash pad would be useful,â&#x20AC;? said Lincoln. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also think maintaining the ability to have baseball and skating in winter is quite critical. There are so many people that use the skating rink every winter and losing that would be an invaluable loss. It is really important it is maintained.â&#x20AC;?

According to Lincoln, ice cream is always the best way

to get parents and kids to come out.

Tiiu Altosaarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family has maintained the skating rink for some time. She too wants to see the park and the field house modernized. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we could get a new well designed building, it would attract more people here who could use the park differently.

This one here is ugly,â&#x20AC;? said Altosaar.

How to save some green and enjoy summer at same time BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse spontaneous potlucks and lazy Friday afternoons before soccer, when cooking just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like an option. Have staple items stocked in the pantry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whole grain pasta, rice, canned beans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and limit the rest to a weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of fresh foods. Try to avoid packaged goods like individually portioned crackers, yogurts and cakes. They seem like a great deal at point of purchase, but offer little in the way of value per gram.

As for summer camps, it can be intriguing to send children to a themed sports or science camp, but at a fraction of

the cost of a specialty camp, local community day camps have a lot to offer. Chances are, your children will be dressing like pirates one week and learning to cook the next.

Every day theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be outside playing sports, swimming at a local pool and learning new crafts. This kind of spontaneous learning is best anyway after the structure of the school year. And if the camp is within walking distance of your house, you save on gas, too.

A friend recently lamented the rising cost of utilities in her nearby city. There are a

few simple ways to cut utility costs without major renovations. Keep curtains drawn on hot, sunny days and try using the air conditioner for a few hours at a time when the humidity gets unbearable. Rediscover your clothes line. An hour in the hot sun for a load of towels and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re golden.

As for dishes, it may come as a shock, but running the dishwasher once a day is a money-saver compared to hand washing after each meal. And while my children, like everyone else, love a good sprinkler run on a hot day, try to take advantage of the local splash pad instead.

If you happen to live in a house and own property, the hot dry summer weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting is a great time to get rid of some of that grass. Build a perennial garden. Plant some hostas, lilies and ferns. Ask your neighbour for some freebies as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinning out.

They may be small this year, but before you know it theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take over and save you dollars on mowing.

As for trips to the beach?

Well, they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be avoided, can they? Cycling is a great way to get to Gatineau Park if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the gear. If you have to drive, check out the season parking pass.

For $70, you can have access to parking at Lac Leamy and most beaches in the park.

Pack a picnic and try to keep to the speed limit to get the best gas mileage.

Welcome summer! Now you can enjoy everything the great weather has to offer and save a bit of green at the same time.

PC education critic consults in advance of policy papers Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Conservative education critic Lisa MacLeod was in Orleans on June 15 to discuss the creation of educational policy white papers with media.

She was joined by OttawaOrleans provincial Conservative candidate Andrew Lister and Orleans-Cumberland public board trustee John Shea “Our core public services

Lisa MacLeod could collapse,” MacLeod said, if the education system remains as is.

She cited the Liberals re-

jecting changes recommended in the Drummond Report as a starting point.

“We’re hearing there need to be improvements,” MacLeod said, citing a lack of accountability.

MacLeod said earlier in the day she had met with school boards, police and representatives from Algonquin College during the Ottawa stop on her 12-city tour.

The public consultations are part of a policy writing process, to result in the Con-

servatives releasing several white papers on education.

“It’s been wonderful to hear,” she said of the input.

MacLeod said the papers should be released in the fall, unless an election is called.

She noted that the papers will not be party platform.

“After health care, education is the next priority in Ottawa-Orleans,” said Lister.

“There are lots of great ideas that haven’t been heard.”

“Everyone has a stake in it,” said Shea. “No one is ex-

empt.”

Some of the feedback MacLeod said she heard in Ottawa included the presence of cyber-bullying, and concern about keeping schools open in areas of declining enrollment, and built in areas of “exploding enrollment” she said.

One of the items they discussed included building more community schools, similar to the attachment of John McCrae Secondary School and Walter Baker Sports Centre in Nepean, or

Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School and the Ray Friel Recreation Complex in Orleans.

“It’s a great way to leverage assets,” MacLeod said.

“There’s a lot of common sense and lots of willing and able partners.”

“It’s like comparing apples to oranges,” MacLeod said when asked education was in a better state when the Conservatives were in power.

“That’s not the point. The point is looking forward.”

Mo Zhang excited to represent Canada at London Olympics Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC sports - Canada’s top-ranked female table tennis player hopes to play better and perhaps create a surprise at the 2012 London Olympic Games this summer.

Mo Zhang is returning to the Olympics for the second time in her young career.

Born in China and living in Ottawa, Zhang 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.

Zhang says she started to play table tennis at age six while in China and moved to Canada when she was 13, and since then she has played for the Canadian national team.

“I am very excited to represent Canada,” said Zhang in an email interview from Zhen Zhou in China, where she is currently training.

“I would still like to get better and improve.”

Zhang has won singles gold three times at the North American championships, 2009-11, and gold in women’s doubles in 2006. She has also added three silver medals in the singles event, 2006-08.

“My best result to date is Gold at the Pan American Games last November and fifth place at the World Junior Championships in Cairo, Egypt in 2007 – behind four Chinese players,” she said.

Zhang won her first major international medal at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro winning silver

United Way changes its campaign format michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - In order to encourage increase participation in its annual campaign, the United Way Ottawa will be making big changes to their program this fall, placing less emphasis on specific dollarfigure goals and allowing for targeted fundraising.

After falling short of their 2011 campaign goal of $33 million, the organization said at its annual general meeting

Jamie McCracken on June 19 that it will change the way it raises money this fall to allow for customized

workplace campaigns. It will allow participating workplaces to aim fundraising efforts towards specific community investments.

Likening campaign funding to the music industry, president Michael Allen’s year end report indicated the organization needs to make changes to keep up with the constantly changing habits of today’s donor and the fight for donor dollars.

“We are trying to at least put ourselves on an equal

footing,” Allen said.

The campaigns, which in the past have typically had large dollar goals attached, may even change Allen indicated.

“What we have learned from many United Ways who have gone and done this in the past is we have attached ourselves to a number and in fact people are not looking to attach to a number, but they are attached to a goal,” he said. “We will try and frame our goals around our prior-

LOOK FOR YOUR FLYER IN THE

ity focused areas ... and you will see a different campaign structure in the fall.”

Bill Baker, chairman of the organization’s resource development committee, said this change will offer companies choices.

“We are moving from making the same impact to a customized one,” Baker said.

“We are also looking at ways to expand the times that workplaces can participate so that it works better for companies.”

Other strategies include investing in front-line programs and services, looking at where investments have the most impact. It will also work with industries and communities in an effort to change the way the United Way reaches out to both donors and organizations in need.

“We have come a long way in the past 10 years, but we have a long way to go to live and move into our new vision.” Allen said.

CHANGE IN FUNDING PRACTICES

Over the past two years, the United Way has changed the way it hands out funding, creating goal priorities and criteria to appeal to donors.

This has in turn made securing funding more difficult for some organizations in the city, because it involves meeting these new criteria, filling out proposals for funding, something that is seen as being onerous by some long-time United Way funding recipients.

Allen said the new system gives small organizations a chance to receive funding.

“We do think that, we know it is not perfect, but we needed to find a way to make sure

the money we were investing were strongly aligned to the goals we have created,” Allen said.

But some organizations did not appreciate the new changes. “(The) United Way was created to undertake the stress of fundraising,” Adele Muldoor, who donates to the organization, said. “Now people are falling through the gaps.

The work you are describing is fine work, but should be undertaken by the organizations that have had funding cut.”

At last year’s meeting, some agencies, service providers and donors raised concerns about the gaps in the new system.

In response to those concerns, the investment and impact review committee was formed and it issued a report on the new distribution of funds, making 37 recommendations on how United Way Ottawa should move forward.

The board of executives announced at the June 19 meeting that the organization would commit to following up on all 37 recommendations.

Ottawa Community Action, a coalition of community groups and agencies, raised the motion for the review and sat on the committee.

The was the first public setting where donors and organizations could ask questions about the report.

Cathy Jordan, executive director of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, said she was happy with the work the United Way and the committee have already done, but still felt the new funding criteria leaves behind organizations that rely heavily on the United Way. See UNITED, page 15

United Way hopes to build stakeholder confidence From UNITED, page 14

“Sometimes you don’t want to lose what has been built on in the past,” Jordan said.

Allen said he hopes that stakeholders will have more confidence in the United Way

once the recommendations are implemented and the results are there for all to see.

“We did not want the exercise to be a white wash, but (shows) that we were serious about engaging those who wanted to understand the direction we were on,” he said.

It is recommended that the berries are placed in the coolest spot in your car for your journey home. It is actually best for the berries to go straight home and be placed in a fridge or very cool spot. If you are making jam or freezing the berries - the sooner the better. Pick you berry farms use lots of clean straw between rows of plants to keep berries and pickers clean and dry.

Bring along a camera to capture special moments. Most farms have picnic tables, so a snack or lunch is a great way to celebrate a "job" well done.

Most Important Tip: Fresh air, lovely red strawberries, beautiful country setting, and happy pickers... it all adds up to a very pleasant summer outing.

PepTides to headline ‘Come out and play’ Pride fest Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – The PepTides, Fevers and Young Empires will headline a “Come out and play”-themed Capital Pride festival this year.

The annual Capital Pride Festival will run from Aug. 17 to 26, with the parade and Pride Day wrapping up festivities on Aug. 26.

Mayor Jim Watson and Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi were on hand at city hall on June 21 to help announce the event’s theme and headlining acts.

Naqvi’s recent work to support the GLBTQ community was applauded during the event.

The Ottawa Centre MPP put his name on Toby’s Law, a bill to amend the Ontario Human Rights Code to include gender identity and gender expression.

“You’ve made our theme, ‘Come out and play,’ a reality because we can come out and celebrate,” Pride chair Loresa Novy told Naqvi.

Watson thanked the festival for putting together a lineup of concerts and events that will draw tourists to the city.

Headliners include Ottawa band The PepTides, voted best album by the Ottawa Citizen and best live show by an Ottawa Xpress reader poll, as well as electronic-pop band Fevers and Canadian “haute rock” band, Young Empires.

Other acts include Ottawa band Apocalypstic, Ottawabased band Ornaments, Otta-

wa’s Jack Pine and the Fire, Rockland’s Mastik, Toronto’s Hunter Valentine and a party for queer women called Cherry Bomb, hosted by DJs Cozmic Cat and Denise Benson.

In addition to the parade, festival highlights will include the Capital Pride pageant, health and fitness day, human rights vigil, family friendly picnic in the park, queer youth prom and the alternative stage.

Watson said he was pleased to be Ottawa’s first mayor to walk in the Pride parade last year. He intends to do it again this year and apologized in advance to the people he’ll squirt with a water gun aboard the Ottawa Public Health float.

The grand marshal for the 2012 Pride parade will be T. Eileen Murphy, a long-time supporter of Pride and GLBTQ community volunteer.

Murphy said Pride is a time to celebrate and to remember accomplishments.

“Laws can change in the blink of an eye,” she said.

“Let’s keep working hard and not forget the past.”

Murphy was born in Peterborough and moved to Ottawa to attend Algonquin College around 40 years ago and has volunteered for GLBTQ causes ever since.

She is a founding member of Dignity Ottawa and has volunteered for Pink Triangle Services, Bruce House, Egale and PFLAG. She is also involved in the emerging Senior Pride Network.

New shop to replace former ByWard fruit store Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A new vendor is set to open in the former home of the Fresh Fruit Company in the ByWard Market.

City council approved plans for a fresh food store and sandwich shop at 51 York St., proposed by the owner of the Moulin de Provence bakery across the street.

“What he’s doing there is (called) Olive and Chili,” Fleury said. “It’s a produce and fresh foods (store), and there will be things like paninis.”

Maintaining the food retail

use of that space was important to local residents and the city, said Rideau-Vanier Ward Coun. Mathieu Fleury.

The storefront is owned by the city and the rent is $96,000 a year.

The city will once again be collecting rent revenue from the space. The previous vendors were behind on rent payments when the store closed, Fleury said. The new shop has all the ingredients for success, especially since the owner has lots of experience establishing a similar business in the ByWard Market.

EMC events - Canada Day celebrations are going to be bigger and better than ever in Riverside South as the community moves the celebrations to Claudette Cain Park for the first time from 10 a.m to 2 p.m.

The community’s premier summer event is hosted by the Riverside South Community Association, marking the tenth year the association has hosted the annual celebration.

Entertainment this year will be provided by local petting zoo, the Barnyard Zoo,

which will entertain everyone with two pens for large and small animals, complete with information on the animals to educate and thrill all.

In addition, there will be numerous rides and games by Tribeck Inflatables for all to enjoy.

The community hopes the fire truck won’t be busy and will pay them a visit at some point during the day.

Fun passes are required for all participation in the Canada Day celebration for children two years of age and older.

Children under two years old do not require a fun pass, and neither do adults. Fun

Passes cost $5 per child for RSCA members, and members can purchase them on behalf of relatives and friends’ children accompanying them to the event. The cost to nonmembers is $10 per child ages two years and older. The association is also planning to celebrate both Canada Day and the Riverside South Community Association’s 14th anniversary with a cake.

The association is asking people who wish to volunteer on the day to contact volunteers@riversidesouth.org, or visit www.riversidesouth.org for more information on the day.

EMC events - Looking for something to do on July 1 before the main event on the Hill?

The South Keys-Greenboro Community Association invites residents the second annual Canada Day bike parade for kids at Pushman Park.

Kids are asked to drop by the park at 9:30 a.m. to decorate their bike, learn about

riding safety, try out our raceway and take a spin around the neighbourhood.

“Bring a snack to fuel up before we hit the streets, and don’t be late – our parade will be led by a certain red vehicle that’s sure to turn heads,” a statement on the association website read. The event is free though a donation of one or two non-perishable food items would be appreciated.

All items will be given directly to the food bank operating in the area, “meaning

that your kind donation will help a neighbour right where we live,” the statement said.

Meanwhile the community association is looking for a few helping hands to assist with the bike parade.

Volunteers are needed to attend to the various bike decoration stations set up for the morning, as well as to keep an eye on things on the raceway.

For more information contact www.southkeysgreenboro.com.

Remembering Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back-breaking work

E

arly in the morning, this time of year, I could hear Father stirring downstairs.

He would try to be quiet so as not to rouse the rest of the house, but as soon as he lit the cook stove, scraping the lids

to put in the kindling, I would waken. And then I would hear Mother in the kitchen getting breakfast ready.

The sun would be just rising when Father would head to the barns for the chores, returning to the house to down his breakfast and head out again for the long day ahead in the ďŹ elds. Likely the binder or the hay mower would already be in a far-off part of the farm, left there from the day before.

Our ďŹ elds were long and narrow in the Northcote area and it seemed to me, when I was so young, that when Father went beyond the west hill, he was in another part of the country.

He loved his land. Just like he loved every animal in the barns and ďŹ elds. Grampa, when he came to visit from Ottawa, would say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Albert is a true farmer.â&#x20AC;?

On week days, Mother would pack a lunch for him to take to the back ďŹ elds. But on Saturdays, I would be allowed to take a large basket, packed with sandwiches, a honey pail of tea with shards of ice in it, slab cake, and a peeled cucumber and a tomato. It was quite a feast, I thought back then. Father and I would share the lunch together.

But during the days when we were at school, I knew without Mother telling me, that Father would be gone for most of the day with the binder, far back into the ďŹ elds in the

farthest reaches of our farm.

My three brothers would be expected to hurry home from school this time of year, because they would be responsible for the evening chores. My sister Audrey and I were expected to wash out the milk pails and the cream separator, put fresh cheese cloth under the lids of the milk cans, making sure everything was secure.

Mother lived in constant dread that somehow a mouse would get into the milk can during the night, which Father said was an impossibility since the lids ďŹ t so tightly. But she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taking any chances, thus the cheesecloth was extra protection.

We would have our supper without Father these nights.

He would still be working in the ďŹ elds. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem right somehow, that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sitting at the head of the table.

But his plate would be there, just as if he could be expected any minute to come in the back door.

My sister Audrey would have to say grace, which was a much shorter version than that given by Father. Although he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one to engage in idle chatter at meal time, nonetheless it seemed strange that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t part of our supper meal.

Long after we had eaten, and cleaned up the kitchen and the light of the day would have started to fade, I would go to the window and watch

MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories for Father. I would ďŹ rst see just a speck and then I would see him coming over the west hill, walking behind the team, with the whippletree dragging behind them. I would watch his ďŹ gure grow larger and I would feel the utmost relief that he would soon be home, safe and sound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home,â&#x20AC;? I would yell.

Everett would get up and go out to the barn yard and take the team from Father, feed them oats, and let them drink from the watering trough and then take them into the barn for the night.

Father would come into the kitchen, covered with dirt and chaff, looking like he had rolled in a dust bin. He would go to the bench at the back door where Mother would have put out a fresh basin of warm water. I would watch him splash the water over his face and rub it up his arms, and see the water turn black.

He would reach up to the huck towel and dry himself off and it would look like he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have another ounce of strength in his body.

Mother would put a steaming supper before him and I never knew whether I should sit at the table with him so that he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be eating alone, or

to leave him in peace. It never mattered how ample the meal was, it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t erase the bonetiredness from Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body.

I used to think a long day in the ďŹ elds made him look much older than he really was.

At any other time of the year, Father would spend some time after supper reading the paper, with his feet resting on the oven door. But when he had been in back ďŹ elds from daylight to dusk, it was all he could do to muster enough strength to plod to the bedroom, undress and fall into bed.

I knew without fail, the next morning there would be a repeat of what had happened the day before and would happen many days hence.

Although I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand completely what the Depression really meant, I knew for us to survive it, Father would have to continue the back-breaking work of tilling the land and harvesting the crops, with machinery that had seen better days.

And in my prayers at night, I would offer up a special prayer for Father, that he would have the strength to do what had to be done to keep the farm going and to keep the Depression from closing in around us.

Celebrate Canada Day with colourful strawberry cake

T

his red and white strawberry cake is a perfect way to celebrate Canada Day. The recipe came from a very good friend whose name is also Pat and it’s always on the menu on Canada Day. This is one of the best cakes I’ve ever tasted.

The ingredients are readily available – frozen strawberries, a white cake mix, strawberry Jello powder, eggs and oil. Topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries, it’s a terrific red and white dessert for July 1. Keep the ingredients on hand though because it’s so easy and so good you’ll want to make it for other occasions too.

STRAWBERRY CANADA DAY CAKE

• 1 super-moist white cake mix (enough for 2 layers) • 1 package of frozen strawberries (or 2 cups of frozen berries) • 85 gram package strawberry Jello, or other jelly powder • 1/3 cup vegetable oil • 4 eggs

MONTH

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff • 1 cup whipping cream • About 12 fresh whole strawberries, hulled and washed

for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.

Since it’s easiest to serve this cake right from the pan, cool it completely in the pan.

The cake can be baked a day ahead. If you make it in advance, wait until an hour or so before serving to finish it off.

To finish the cake, in a small bowl, beat the whipping cream until it holds its shape. Spread this over the top of the cake. Arrange the strawberries on top of the whipped cream with the tips pointing up. The berries can also be sliced and arranged so that every slice of cake will have berries on it.

Keep chilled until serving time. Serves 12-14.

Partially thaw the strawberries before you start everything else.

Grease and lightly flour a 33-by-20-centimetre cake pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, Jello powder, oil and eggs. Pour off any juice from the berries and add this to the bowl. With an electric mixer, mix the cake batter for two minutes.

Turn the bowl occasionally to ensure that the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Fold the partially-thawed berries into the cake batter, then spoon the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake at 325 F (160 C)

Farmers’ market readies for summer opening in Vanier Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC community - Fresh food at the corner of Hannah Street and Montreal Road is back again this summer as the Saturday Vanier Farmers’ Market prepares to open for the fifth year running.

The market, which will open on July 7, will feature a number of the same merchants as last year, including Alpenblick Farm, Bearbrook Game Meats Inc. and Maison Baguettes.

The preliminary line-up also includes beans, beets and broccoli from Foster Family Farm and gourmet hot sauces from Island Spiced.

This is the fifth year for the Vanier Farmers’ Market and the second to feature its expanded offering. Last year was the first to see merchants selling dairy, meats and baked goods set up alongside those offering fruits and vegetables.

The market also has a new logo new logo, one that Quartier Vanier executive director Suzanne Valiquet said represents what the community has become to be known for: it’s heart and soul.

“The logo has the vegetables in the shape of a heart,” Valiquet said.

“This is the community with the heart and soul.”

The market will have themed Saturdays throughout the season, to highlight some of the local food producers and Vanier businesses.

E-bike information session in Vanier

Animal blessing

Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Thirteen month-old Meredith Tremaine of Nepean plays with a new friend at Knox United Churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blessing of the animals that took place at the church on June 24.

EMC news - An information session will be held on July 3 to help sort out some common questions about ebikes for residents who might be looking at joining the growing ranks of riders in the city.

The session, being held at the Centre Francophone De Vanier at 270 Marier Ave. will offer riders a chance to hear from police officers, city councillors and one scooter business owner.

The goal of the session is to inform riders about safe riding practices as well as the rules and regulations of the road.

The evening is being organized by Vanier resident Lucie Marleau, who bought her own e-bike in October. In her own quest for information,

she only came across confusing and conflicting pieces of information about riding and wanted to get the facts about her e-bike.

According to the city of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website an e-bike, also known as a power-assisted bicycle, must only weigh no more than 120 kilograms, have wheels with a diameter of at least 350 millimetres and a width of at least 35 millimetres. It must also meet the federal definition of a powerassisted bicycle, meaning it must have steering handlebars, be equipped with pedals, is designed to travel on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground and is capable of moving by muscle power alone.

The information session will take place from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

CWP]Z h^d U^a h^da Bd__^ac Mothercraftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Touch-aTruck event was held this year on June 10th at Lincoln Fields.

This is a 25% increase from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attendance. As a result, proďŹ ts improved dramatically. In fact, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenues were more than three times last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earning.

Mothercraft Ottawa points out that the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success is based on several factors, including great weather and advertising. Co-organizer Shannon MacFarlane suggest that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organizations donating their time and their vehicles that makes the event possible: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the great vehicles that really draw people. Without the support of our community, this wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen. This year we had over 50 vehicles on site and the support of more than 20 organizations which really shows the generosity of the communityâ&#x20AC;?

Mothercraft also suggests that the overwhelming support of volunteers is an important factor in the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success.

Approximately 60 volunteers were involved in every element of the event from the planning to the clean up. MacFarlane sums up the importance of the volunteers saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a small organization and without people coming out and giving us their time, we really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how we would run this amazing event.â&#x20AC;?

Mothercraft is happy the event was successful and that people really liked it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received a lot of positive feedback about the event from people who attended. One lady wrote to us just to tell how much her son loved it and how she would never forget watching her son and his friend

run hand-in-hand to the trucks.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really touching.â&#x20AC;?

The Touch-a-Truck event supports Mothercraftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Birth and Parent Companion programs which support marginalized and isolated expectant mothers and families in the community. Money raised from the Touch-a-Truck event goes to supporting these women who face a pregnancy, delivery and parenting alone or with little support .

Mothercraft plans to hold the event next year and expects it to be an even more exciting day for everyone in the community.

Ottawa South EMC - Thursday, June 28, 2012

EMC news - A man in his 40s was transported to hospital for smoke inhalation after a fire at 503 Dawson Ave. Ottawa Fire Service received a 911 call just after 8:15 a.m. on June 23 for a fire in an upstairs bedroom at the Westboro home. Calls were made from the home owner and neighbours who saw flames coming out of a bedroom window.

When fire crews arrived shortly afterwards, they contained the fire to the second storey bedroom.

The only occupant, a male in his 40s, had woken up to a smoke-filled room and tried to put the fire out with a bowl of water. However, he was unable to see through the thick smoke and was evacuated by firefighters.

There were no other injuries and the cause is under investigation.

Major technical issues in OC Transpo’s new smart card payment system have led to a seven-month delay. ability will be important and a longer delay will help them ensure everything works and that the public has a good impression of the system.

COSTS

McCauig said Metrolinx is willing to offset the additional costs the delay will

cause for the city, but they still don’t have complete information from OC Transpo of what all the financial implications could be.

That didn’t please transit commissioner Keith Egli, councillor for KnoxdaleMerivale.

“I don’t want the impact on our taxpayers lessened, I

want it indemnified,” he said.

Egli grilled McCuaig on that issue, getting him to confirm that “offset” would mean a “dollar for dollar” refund.

Egli was one in a string of transit commissioners who put the same pointed question to McCuaig: “What went wrong?”

Although Presto is already in use in some southern Ontario cities in Hamilton and the Greater Toronto Area, Ottawa will be the first to use the “second generation” Presto system that uses technology that hadn’t been tested in real-world situations until the Ottawa pilot project launched in May. But beyond faulty wiring and glitchy software that makes card readers display incorrect screens or even reboot when cards are tapped on them, serious customer service issues have also been identified at Presto’s call centre, including a lack of bilingual attendants.

The “white screen” issue, which happens when the readers won’t shut down properly or if they reboot un-

R0011471334

EMC news - A wide range of technical glitches, including software problems and faulty wiring on card readers, have stalled the launch of OC Transpo’s Presto smart card, meaning the new system won’t be ready until Feb. 1, 2013.

Originally scheduled to launch on July 1, the sevenmonth delay is the latest setback for the system that was aimed at replacing monthly passes, cash and eventually tickets.

While transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans had recently hinted that an Aug. 1 Presto launch was possible, officials from the Toronto-based firm in charge of the smart card system faced a firing line at transit commission on June 20 when they announced that they would have to delay the launch until the new year.

And it looks like finding a Presto-based alternative to tickets or investigating opportunities for cell-phone enabled “near field communication” payments won’t happen until well into the new year.

Mayor Jim Watson says he has no desire to push for those improvements to the system until after it is launched successfully.

“My view is let’s not add bells and whistles to the system until we get the base sys-

tem working and operating to our satisfaction,” Watson said in an interview.

Social service agencies had complained that the city will be putting low-income residents and those who use social services at a disadvantage by making tickets a costlier option for each trip.

During a transit commission meeting on June 20, Deans repeatedly asked Bruce McCuaig, chief executive of Metrolinx, the provincial agency that oversees the Presto program, to explain how Ottawa and OC Transpo could have confidence in the system given all the issues and delays.

McCuaig said the long delay is necessary to give time to work out the kinks. Rolling it out any earlier could cause more issues, mainly due to the influx of university students returning in the fall.

The intervening period will give Metrolinx and the city time to work on restoring confidence in the system and convincing riders to use it despite the issues, McCuaig said.

Some transit commissioners weren’t convinced that will be easy.

“There is no confidence in the card now,” said Marianne Wilkinson, transit commissioner and councillor for Kanata North.

McCuaig said he appreciates that demonstrating reli-

ckroeger@royallepage.ca

expectedly, is proving to be tricky for Metrolinx and its technology provider, Accenture, to fix.

In retrospect, McCuaig said, it would have been advisable to have more field testing of the new system before putting it onto OC Transpo buses and a longer “fiends and family” pilot period to test the cards.

“We had high hopes for Presto,” said Mayor Jim Watson.

“The mistake made was that there should have been a longer period of testing. That didn’t happen.”

Deans was successful in passing motion at transit commission on June 20 asking OC Transpo to reinstate the EcoPass program for one year.

The discounted payroll reduction transit passes were cancelled, along with student passes for college students over age 19, to align Ottawa’s transit fares with the categories Metrolinx uses in Toronto, because users will be able to use the cards wherever Presto is in use.

Fleury to volunteer at London Olympics Trip will be his first across the Atlantic Ocean Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Submitted

Before elected as city councillor for Rideau-Vanier, Mathieu Fleury, a sports enthusiast, had the opportunity to volunteer at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Fleury, a volunteer with the Canadian Olympic Committee will be going to the London 2012 Olympics this summer.

LOOK FOR YOUR FLYER IN THE

EMC news - Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury will be taking a different kind of vacation this summer that will see volunteer his time to help Canadian athletes at the London 2012 Olympics.

Fleury, who holds a master’s degree in sports management, has long been a Canadian Olympic Committee volunteer and considers sports to be one of his passions.

“I feel like a kid,” Fleury said. “The opportunity of going is a great, great honour, (and) I don’t know how to express it, I love my city, but I also have my other passions.”

Working as a volunteer, Fleury is part of the outfitting team, which works to make sure athletes look good when they are performing their best.

“To have the opportunity to help our athletes is amazing,” Fleury said.

He’s also excited about going to England, as it will be his first trip across the Atlantic. He attended both the 2011 Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico and the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, but has never been to Europe.

As a swimmer, Fleury said he is looking forward to the swimming events, but he is also looking forward to watching the runners.

“Those are the top runners in the world and they are amazing,” Fleury said.

And even though Fleury will be attending the London games as a volunteer and not in an official role for the city, that does not mean the councillor will not be promoting the city and keeping his eye out for any neat ideas the London has that Ottawa could adopt.

‘To have the opportunity to help our athletes is amazing.’

MATHEIU FLEURY RIDEAU-VANIER COUN.

“Ottawa is not London, but if they have cool recycling bins or if they have something different that we don’t have I would share the ideas with my colleagues and share my experiences,” he said. “But to be fair, whenever any of my colleagues visit other cities, they do the same.”

The councillor said he has always volunteered locally for the sports community, something he encourages residents to do as well.

“You don’t need to travel to make a difference in the sport world; if you volunteer here, in the city, you can make a difference in your community.”

Midnight is a spayed female, black Chow Chow who is about four years old. She has a bit of a timid disposition, but is usually friendly and polite meeting new people once she feels comfortable. She needs an owner who is experienced and familiar with the Chow Chow breed and who will expose her to new people and places and help her become more confident.

Mouse is a spayed female, white and gray tabby domestic shorthair cat. She is about eight years old and was brought to the shelter as a stray on May 11. Mouse is a very affectionate gal who is looking for a relaxed home where she can live out her retirement years.

There are many over-the-counter products that help solve flea problems such as flea sprays (both for the pet and environment), shampoos, or collars. While the costs may be lower for over-thecounter products ($5 to $30), they often need to be reapplied to solve a flea infestation. *ÀiÃVÀ «Ì ÞÊà ÕÌ ÃÊÃÕV Ê>ÃÊ Ì « V> ÊÌÀi>Ì i ÌÃÊ­ `Û> Ì>}i]Ê ,iÛ ÕÌ ®Ê ÀÊ« ÃÊ­*À }À> ]Ê Sentinel) are more expensive and require a vet visit for a prescription.

Bama

Hi! My name is Bama and I am a five year old retired racing greyhound. I recently found my forever home thanks to the Greyhound Supporters of the National Capital Region. My happy demeanour, expressive ears and long legs pique the curiosity of my neighbours. I love to meet them and hear them gush over me. I am so charming that even my feline sister -- who commands the highest respect -- is warming up to me!

Fleas, an annual external parasite, are mostly harmless. The biggest problem caused by fleas is itching.

However, some pets or people may be allergic to flea saliva, which causes flea allergy dermatitis (super-itchy spots with hair-loss); young, sick or elderly pets can become anemic from too much blood loss.

These wingless insects are capable of jumping long distances. While cat and dog fleas prefer to feast on animal blood, they will turn to a human host if needed.

The life-cycle of a flea has four stages: UÊ }}Ã]ÊÜ V Êv> ÊvÀ ÊÌ iÊ ÃÌÊ Ì Ê the environment UÊ >ÀÛ>i]ÊÜ V Ê ÛiÊ vvÊ vÊÌ iÊv> i Ê fecal matter of adult fleas found in carpets and in lawns.
