EMC sports – The world’s largest one-day recreational volleyball tournament returns to Mooney’s Bay on July 14.

Hope Volleyball Summerfest will celebrate its 30th anniversary in Ottawa this year.

HOPE, which stands for Helping Other People Everywhere, is a volunteer-based not-for-profit organization founded in 1981 by Fred Logan, created in honour of his mother who died of cancer.

Inspired by the Terry Fox Run, Logan and his friends decided to start a similar Ottawa event, but which donated to multiple chairities.

Over the years, the group has grown to a 40 member planning team and 1,200 day volunteers.

Holly Tarrison, executive director for the HOPE Foundation, said the annual one-day tournament brings together a community for a good cause.

“It is huge what a one day event can do,” said Tarrison.

“You’re hard pressed to find someone who is not smiling that day.”

“It’s a bunch of people playing volleyball,” she said. “The fact that we have given over $3 million back to the community and charities over the past 30 years is huge.”

Canada Day fire leaves nine homeless Staff

EMC news – A fire has left nine people homeless in Greenboro on Canada Day. Ottawa’s fire department received multiple 911 calls reporting smoke coming from a home on Ashpark Crescent on Sunday, July 1, around 10:42 p.m.

When firefighters arrived, they discovered the flames had spread in the five-unit row complex.

The blaze left nine people homeless from two of the units.

The residents of the other three were told they could return to their homes once the fire was brought under control.

Investigators suspect the cause of the fire was a carelessly discarded cigarette on the rear deck of a home.

BUSY WEEKEND

Firefighters were kept busy on Canada Day, responding to four fires that left 13 people homeless.

Ottawa’s fire department responded to a 911 call reporting

a fire at a a home on Withrow Avenue near Algonquin College at around 1:05 p.m. on July 1.

When firefighters arrived they found heavy smoke coming from the eaves and second floor of a two-storey home.

The home’s owner had attempted to put out the fire which started on the back deck and spread to the attic. The 45year-old man was soldering a copper pipe and later noticed his deck was on fire. He tried to put out the fire using a garden hose and then called 911.

The man was treated for

smoke inhalation by paramedics. The damage to the home is estimated at $700,000.

At 1:45 p.m. another blaze sent crews to a blaze at a restaurant in the Byward Market.

Restaurant staff and others had already put out the flames by the time firefighters arrived.

Shortly afterwards, firefighters received a report of a basement fire at a home on Woodkilton Road in Dunrobin at around 3 p.m.

The fire spread to the living room and left heavy smoke damage to the home.

Billings Estate hosting July events brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Billings Estate Historic Site will host two new July events this year, starting with a historic house party on July 6.

Beginning at 7 p.m., the $30 tickets include three cocktail samples and food throughout the night.

Ottawa group Timekode, who run monthly dance events at the Eri Café on Somerset Street West have collaborated with Billings Estate in order to run the event.

“We were already thinking of doing a cocktail tasting,” said museum administrator Brahm Lewandowski. “And we wanted to give the museum a new audience.”

The music will progress from the 1950s to 1970s over the course of the evening.

Guests are encouraged to wear clothing from that decade – Lewandowski has a plaid suit hanging in his office, ready to go.

He is hoping the event gives the museum a chance to attract a new and different demographic, adding that Timekode’s Friday night events outside of the museum are well attended.

A cash bar will also be open.

The following Friday – it isn’t a coincident it’s the 13th – the museum will host a seance.

It’s a spooky day for a seance, and the medium coming to Billings Estate, Connie Ad-

ams, says the date helps her connect with spirits.

Usually, the seances, where visitors use a medium to talk to deceased loved ones, are held around Halloween or Christmas.

“It’s limited to about 15 people because we do want this to be a fairly intimate experience for them,” Lewandowski said.

It opens with Adams leading a smudging ceremony to open the portal to access the spirits.

Lewandowski said there is a historical link because Victorians commonly held seances to communicate with spirits.

Participants don’t usually ask direct questions to the spirits, but Adams is able to pass on messages, usually reassuring, to them.

“We definitely have skeptics,” Lewandowski said.

“We have skeptics who have come and have changed their minds.”

He said staff have participated in the past, but usually take a back seat and let the event run, as anyone who takes part needs to be in the circle.

The museum has done the event about six times before, and several participants have returned multiple times.

The $25 a person cost is less expensive than it would be to go to see a medium in their own studio for a private session, and it’s more accessible to come with the group.

“Our Halloween seances always sell-out so we’ve decided to celebrate Friday the 13th in a similar way,” Lewandowski said.

Hope tournament celebrates 30th year

Hydro Ottawa launches mobile website

From HOPE, page 1

Over the past 30 years HOPE has raised more than $3.5 million dollars and donated to 110 charities nationwide.

Although the volleyball portion of the fundraiser began as a sidecar to other activities, Tarrison said it has quickly become the headlining event – and the most profitable.

“They used to have dances and other kinds of fundraisers,” she said. “People would go and volunteer as a group and give back. They found that the volleyball side was the most profitable thought.

The first time they held it they raised $2,900 with only eight teams – and that was in the ’80s.”

Along with the volleyball tournament, an outdoor concert will be held in the outdoor amphitheater featuring artists Ill Scarlett, Treble Charger and Mother Mother.

Although there will not be a special commemoration of the tournament’s anniversary, Tarrison said H.O.P.E is asking people to send in stories of the people they have met through the event for a chance to win a night stay at the Holiday Inn along with dinner for two and a camera.

Tarrison, who originally volunteered with the group to find like-minded people when she first moved to Ottawa, said she has since met her best friends through the organization.

“Over the years, we are always hearing stories about people who have met through HOPE’s tournament – whether its boyfriends or best friends. You can submit a 50word essay or video on how they met their friends Everyone has a HOPE story.”

Hundreds of people volunteer or participate in the annual Hope Summerfest volleyball tournament held at Mooney’s Bay in July.

Money raised by this year’s tournament will go to national organizations: Children at Risk, Canadian Diabetes Association, Children’s Wish Foundation and the Kidney Foundation of Canada and local groups: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa, Dreams Take Flight Ottawa and the Rideau Valley Conservation

Society.

“We choose from a lot of organizations,” said Tarrison.

“What is different about us is we like to mix up the charities that we give money to every year – a good combo of national organizations and small organizations. One that was chosen this year – the Rideau Valley Conservation

Society – were so shocked that they were chosen. They said they want to plant a HOPE forest and with our green initiatives we were won over.”

Tickets can be purchased in advance at www.ottawafestivalstickets.ca for $20 in or for $25 at the gate on the Saturday.

Hydro Ottawa is one of the first utilities in Ontario to launch this technology, enhancing service by giving customers an easy way to connect 24/7.

ADVERTORIAL

Swim into summer with the help of Ottawa’s swim advisories A no-swim advisory may ruin your plans to cool off during a hot summer day at one of Ottawa’s four City beaches, however these are issued to protect your health when there is poor water quality. Poor water quality means that the beach water contains a high level of bacteria that may increase a swimmer’s risk of developing skin, eye, ear, nose and throat infections. Ingestion of water with high levels of bacteria may cause health issues such as gastrointestinal illnesses.

Every day during the beach season, Ottawa Public Health samples water from Britannia, Westboro, Mooney’s Bay and Petrie Island beaches for the presence of E.coli bacteria. When elevated levels of E.coli are detected in the water, other organisms that can pose a risk to your health are likely present.

Ottawa’s Medical Officer of Health has the authority to issue a no-swim advisory. Beaches are most often closed due to bacteria levels over 200 E.coli per 100 mL of water tested, or over 100 E.coli per 100 mL of water tested for two or more consecutive days.

and South Nation River. A watershed is the land area feeding a river, including all the related lakes and streams. Protecting our watersheds requires support from communities all across Eastern Ontario. What happens in one part of the watershed affects other communities.

Some of the factors that can pollute a beach include: • Heavy rains causing increased runoff of contaminants from land into the storm sewers, which flow directly in nearby streams and rivers. Heavy rains can also cause sewers to overflow into streams and rivers; • E.coli bacteria present in the feces of pets, birds and other warm-blooded animals; • High winds stirring up contaminated sediments; • Calm waters holding contaminants close to shore; • Boats discharging dirty water and sewage; • Low water levels; and • Defective septic systems at private residences, resorts and camps.

Strength training for seniors How do you get started?

Unfortunately, as we age we lose much of the muscle mass we had in our twenties. In fact, by about age 70 to 80, seniors have lost 40-50% of the muscle mass and strength they had in their 20s. Less muscle mass makes every day things like lifting groceries, pushing lawnmowers, going up and down stairs and getting up from a chair harder to do.

If you would like to start working on your strength at home, call the Ottawa Public Health Information Line listed below for information about the Get Moving: Active Sitting DVD, available for a small fee. This 30 minute program is easy to follow, and comes with a user’s guide demonstrating exercises if you are not very active or have just started exercising. You can also borrow the DVD for free from your local library.

As you get older, Strength training, also called resistance training or weight lifting, slows the loss of muscle, keeps you strong and helps make every day activities easier. Strength training means exercising your muscles against resistance or gravity. The more you repeat an exercise and the more weight you lift, the stronger your muscle becomes.

If you prefer to exercise in a gym, call 211 or visit ottawa.ca to find a local recreation center or City of Ottawa Senior’S Centre. Private health clubs also have these types of activities. If you are a gym member, ask about adding some strength training to your routine.

Research shows that strength training also helps to: · Reduce your risk of falls · Improve balance and posture · Promote healthier bones

Ward 22 Update

Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean Findlay Creek Community Park Update I would like to provide residents with an update of the ongoing construction at the new Findlay Creek Community Park. This is the large Community Park fronting Findlay Creek Drive and White Alder Crescent. As you may have noticed, there has been considerable progress made on the park since it began construction earlier this Spring. Installation of some of the park facilities and amenities has been completed including the junior and senior play structure areas and splash pad. Although signiďŹ cant progress has been made to date on many of the amenities in the park, including the splash pad, skateboard park and the boarded rink/ multipurpose hard-court area with basketball hoops, I would like to remind residents that the park is still under construction and residents are reminded to please stay off the equipment until construction is fully completed.

I am also pleased to advise residents that I have secured funding to install ďŹ tness stations along the pathway through the woodlots connected to the community park. The ďŹ tness trail will be a looped circuit that incorporates ďŹ ve exercise components and will provide a recreational outlet for residents interested in outdoor ďŹ tness.

Construction of the park is expected to be completed in late summer 2012. I know this project is a priority for Findlay Creek residents and I will continue to push for its timely completion.

Ottawa Rotary Home Celebrates its 30th Anniversary I was pleased to join Mayor Jim Watson to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Ottawa Rotary Home this past weekend. To recognize and commemorate the Rotary Clubs of Ottawa, Mayor Watson and I ofďŹ cially named the northern section of Analdea Drive to Rotary Way. The Rotary Club of Ottawa serves to provide respite to needed families and caregivers in Ottawa and the surrounding areas.

Findlay Creek Boardwalk Construction Underway As you may have noticed, construction has begun for the new Findlay Creek Boardwalk. The boardwalk will be built as a partnership between the South Nation Conservation Authority, Tartan and Tamarack Homes Corporation. When completed, the boardwalk will provide residents in the Findlay Creek neighbourhood a walkway through a variety of natural habitat areas within the Leitrim Wetlands.

A fundraising campaign has been launched to help cover repairs and maintenance of the future boardwalk. For $200, individuals and families will be able to place their names on boards along the boardwalk. For more information please contact, Josee Brizard, South Nation Conservation Authority at 613-984-2948 ext. 231.

Rideau Street renewal underway Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Rideau Street was already starting to feel the pinch last week as transport truck drivers, motorists, buses, cyclists and pedestrians grappled to ďŹ nd space in the cramped construction zone.

Preliminary work on the main street began on June 25, with temporary lane restrictions giving a taste of what’s to come for the rest of the summer as the entire street, sidewalks and the pipes underneath are rebuilt between Dalhousie Street and King Edward Avenue.

The pipes are old – in some cases, around 140 years old - so the work must be done, businesses say.

The project is meant to create a more attractive, pedestrian and cyclist friendly area to maximize transit options before the light rail tunnel begins construction next year.

With new condos popping up along Rideau, upgrades to underground pipes are also needed.

BUSINESS IMPACT

During the construction, businesses will remain open and sidewalk access will be maintained.

But for car-reliant businesses like the Petro Canada gas station at Rideau and King Edward, the summer is shaping up to be a nightmare. “Obviously, it’s not going to be good for our business, but we have no choice,� said the gas station’s head cashier, Jawid, who declined to give his last name.

A lengthy project to reconstruct King Edward Avenue had a signiďŹ cant effect on sales, Jawid said, and the Rideau project will be much

King Edward was just the customers who were passing by. If this one is closed, it is obviously going to affect a lot.

We’re thinking about that.�

Rideau is also a major route for trucks, both for trucks heading through Ottawa to Gatineau and those that must navigate the downtown to make deliveries.

It’s already a tight squeeze, said one driver for the Beer Store, but it’s about to get a lot worse. “Once they start digging

Right now, construction mainly consists of lane reductions during lower-trafďŹ c periods.

Businesses along Rideau must be switched over to temporary water connections before digging can start, so the city has waived the noise bylaw so crews can work on water lines overnight to avoid disrupting businesses.

That will last until July 9, when construction will begin in earnest.

Eastbound lanes on Rideau

Street between Dalhousie Street and King Edward Avenue will be closed all summer starting Monday, July 9 until Oct. 10. Vehicles travelling in that direction should instead use Besserer Street, George Street or Murray Street, but detour signs will also recommend motorists avoid the entire area and take Sussex Drive eastbound at Wellington Street.

Detours will also suggest using Vanier Parkway to St. Patrick to get to King Edward Avenue for access to the ByWard Market area and Quebec from the east.

Until July 15, eastbound OC Transpo buses will detour from Nicholas Street to Besserer and Cumberland Street before turning onto Rideau.

After July 15, buses will continue on Besserer across King Edward Avenue before returning to Rideau via Chapel Street.

Westbound buses won’t be affected.

This summer marks the ďŹ rst phase of the $28.9-million project.

Next summer, Rideau Street will be reconstructed from King Edward to Chapel Street.

As long as the plans stay the same and only the left lane is closed, the driver said he will be OK to drive his route, but construction projects can be unpredictable, so he is still wary.

A spokesperson for the Ontario Trucking Association and Canadian Trucking Alliance said any construction is bound to have an impact on the industry. “Depending on how long the trafďŹ c tie-ups are, it can affect delivery times, labor costs to drivers and fuel costs,â€? spokesperson Marco Beghetto wrote in an email.

STRONG ACTION FOR OTTAWA

Michelle Nash

Celebrating the sunset

Our government recently passed the 2012 Budget, Strong Action for Ontario’s Economy. It keeps us on track to eliminate the deficit by 2017-18 while protecting the gains we’ve made in our schools and health care, and helping create more jobs, in Ottawa and across Ontario. Ontarians expect us to honour our commitment to make this minority government work — and put their interests first.

The 2012 Canadian Sunset Ceremonies got underway on June 26 at a grand opening ceremony hosted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police at the RCMP Musical Ride Centre in Manor Park. The show featured performances by the Ottawa Valley Search and Rescue Dog Association, a musical performance by the combined pipe bands of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Ottawa police and the naming of honorary members of the musical ride.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

In education, we are moving forward with implementing Full-Day Kindergarten in 10 more Ottawa South schools, while ensuring smaller class sizes. We are also providing 30% Off Ontario Tuition to qualifying college and university students. My colleagues and I are proud to have recently passed the Accepting Schools Act — making Ontario’s schools safer, and ensuring all students have the support they need to reach their full potential.

Mom, can we go to another one?

Our government remains committed to everbetter health care in Ottawa. We’ll move forward with the planned redevelopment of the Ottawa Heart Institute, expanding the Queensway Carleton Hospital and the Hawkesbury Hospital, as well as building the Orleans Health Hub. There are now 10 MRI machines in the Ottawa area, allowing families to get the care they need closer to home.

The Healthy Homes Renovation Tax Credit is helping seniors stay in their homes longer, keeping long-term care home costs down, and helping create jobs and grow the economy.

Get the whole Ottawa story by visiting our 10 community museums.

They’re affordable, easy to find, fun to visit and offer hands-on activities that kids love.

Stay safe, stay alive on water this summer

H

owever you choose to spend time this summer, remember to keep safety in mind – especially if those plans include time on the water.

The Canadian Safe Boating Council has issued a notice calling on more of us to take more seriously the issue of personal flotation devices (PFDs), better known as life preservers or life jackets.

Every few days each

summer – especially after weekends – there are sad stories to be told about another Canadian losing their life to drowning. We’re a nation of rivers, lakes and streams, and so many of us love getting out on the water.

Too many of us – whether out for a day of fishing, canoeing or pleasure boating – still choose to head out without either wearing a PFD or having the requisite number of life jackets on

board. The end result, as the organization outlines, can be tragic.

The question, of course, is why? Why do so many adults not wear this potentially lifesaving gear?

Many likely feel they are strong enough swimmers to overcome any unforeseen situation. But whether it’s a strong undertow or the shock of hitting cold water causing what the council refers to as “gasp reflex,” there’s really

no way of knowing how one will react once overboard.

If you still think life jackets have to be made out of bulky slabs of Styrofoam, you need to take a look at today’s store shelves.

The latest designs now on the market are lightweight and come in a range of styles and colours that should suit any fashion taste. They’re not much bulkier or heavier than a T-shirt.

There’s even a new inflat-

able design that can come with automatic inflation that fills the PFD with air as soon as you hit the water.

Some boaters will still say a short trip doesn’t necessitate the bother of even placing a PFD in the vessel. And yet statistics tell a different story.

There are close to 140 unnecessary drownings in Canada every year, according to the safe boating council.

And roughly 80 per cent of

those recreational boaters who lose their life on the water weren’t wearing a life jacket.

A vast majority of parents make sure their toddlers and youngsters wear a PFD in the water. It’s time they set aside the excuses and lead by example by donning the gear as well.

Regardless of the situation, life jackets do save lives. As the council promotes: It’s Your Life...Preserve It.

COLUMN

Onward and, inevitably, upward CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

M

aybe the tide is turning against tall buildings. And maybe not.

Sure, the Ontario Municipal Board recently struck down a proposal to build some in Westboro on a residential street. That the proposed towers were more than twice the height for which the street was zoned might have had something to do with it, except that the argument hasn’t worked too well in the past. For that reason, it seems too early to celebrate. There is every indication the tide is in fact not turning against tall buildings.

We are reading almost every day about similarly oversized structures that are going ahead.

It used to be front-page news when this happened. After all, this is a city in which, for the longest time, the Peace Tower was supposed to be the tallest building allowed. But now, it’s tower after tower, each taller than the last.

Less than two weeks after the supposed victory over developers in Westboro, the newspapers carried, on inside pages, news of a 27-storey tower on Nepean Street and a 30-storey job on Preston. You can look down on the Peace Tower from both of them.

The public is mystified, because the public can’t see what’s driving this. Does anybody like tall buildings? Is anybody, other than a developer, demanding more of them? Did any candidate for city council run on a platform of bringing more tall buildings to the city?

No, is the answer to that last one and yet city council seems to have all but given up when faced with yet another request to build something considerably taller than what we thought was allowed. Councillors are reduced

to arguing about which design has the prettier balconies, while the question of how tall the building is hangs in the air, undebated.

Other preposterous statements, such as the claim that new towers won’t cause increased traffic and parking difficulties go unchallenged.

They fly in the face of common sense, but common sense somehow vanishes when planningspeak is the language of the day.

It is assumed, perhaps, that the developers will win in the end, given the notoriously pro-developer record of the Ontario Municipal Board, to which any appeal would be directed.

And even now, when the OMB has shown a willingness to take a contrary position, the skyline climbs mostly uncontested and the shadows lengthen across the neighborhoods.

The argument in favour of all this is familiar: we need more people living near the centre of the city to prevent urban sprawl and a larger influx of cars. The argument against is familiar too: the city is going back on a bargain it made with its residents and who’s to say that those new people living near the centre of the city won’t bring their cars anyway?

What we don’t want is to wind up like Toronto, where new condo towers pop up like dandelions and cars choke the streets. And don’t forget the construction period brings considerable inconvenience to the neighbourhood for many months at a time.

For the moment, opposition to higher rises is coming mostly from community groups, who lack financial resources and whose credibility is usually under attack. It would be interesting to see the politicians take a larger role.

In the next election campaign, would anybody dare question the very idea of growth, the assumption we all seem to share that a city can never get too big? Would anybody run on a platform that says the city is big enough and our resources should be put into improving the lives of those who live here, rather than building higher for those who don’t live here yet?

That would be something to see. It would spark a useful debate about what a city should be and for whom.

Presto contracts reviewed but not stamped: lawyer Mayor moves motion for all new contracts to be looked over by legal staff Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Lawyers did advise on draft contracts for Ottawa’s Presto smart card transit payment system, the city’s top lawyer said.

But Rick O’Connor can’t say whether lawyers from his office signed off on final version of the documents because they weren’t initialed or “stamped.”

The Presto file has been plagued by controversy, first with the announcement on June 20 that its implementation would have to be delayed for seven months until next February.

A recent revelation that the final smart card contracts hadn’t received a lawyer’s stamp led Mayor Jim Watson to move a motion asking legal staff to ensure such measures must be taken for all future contracts.

“There appeared to be some confusion about whether there was sign off or not,” said transit commission chairwoman, Diane Deans. “So I think the motion today is to provide clarity into the future – that everyone will understand that legal has not signed off until

the stamp and the initials are there.”

That motion gained council’s approval on June 26, minus a clause that specifically called out the lack of oversight on the part of former OC Transpo general manager Alain Mercier, who was fired by the city earlier this year.

Mercier spoke out in the media last week to defend his track record on the file. He told both the Ottawa Sun and Ottawa Citizen that he and his staff followed the rules council outlined for how to execute the Presto contract.

O’Connor admitted that it was a failure on the part of his office to ensure the final contract had legal’s signoff.

The so-called “stamp” from legal is not unlike an engineer’s stamp of approval, O’Connor said. The inclusion of a lawyer’s initials ensures that all the “i’s” are dotted and “t’s” are crossed, O’Connor said.

For the most part, O’Connor said the Presto contract provided to Ottawa reflected similar contracts that were negotiated in other southern Ontario cities where provincial agency Metrolinx has implemented its Presto program.

File Photo

Originally scheduled to launch on July 1, the seven month delay to February 2013 is the latest setback for the Presto smart card system that was aimed at replacing monthly passes, cash and eventually tickets.

EXIT CLAUSE

O’Connor cleared up something else that was a concern for city council: the city does have the ability to terminate its agreement with Presto and

Metrolinx if it needs to.

But Deans said the city is still gung-ho for the Presto card because it will be a good solution to make transit riders’ lives easier, she said.

“We think it will serve our

customers in Ottawa very well,” Deans said.

“We’ve had some challenges in having it work, so I just wanted to ask and get clarity so that if we were at a point in the future where we

didn’t have a working cards, is there an opportunity to exit the partnership, and the answer is yes.”

But the city isn’t at that point yet, and hopefully it will never come to that, Deans said.

Group visits Ottawa to see what residents want for nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150th birthday

www.markďŹ sher.org

Powering the City Over the course of the lat couple of years the Ottawa Carleton District School Board has been working with a number of area companies and provincial partners, including the Ontario Power Authority, to assess the Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solar power potential and to identify and develop sites using school rooftops. It is expected that these projects will generate revenues in the order of $500,000 per year over the next 20 years. I am excited that a number of schools in Zone 7 are involved in this innovative work, speciďŹ cally Osgoode Township High School, Adrienne Clarkson Elementary School, Dunlop Public School, Robert Bateman Public School, Roberta Bondar Public School and Sawmill Creek Elementary School. When combined, they are expected to produce close to 560 kW of power.

The Canada Day 150th celebration public consultation held by Canadian Capital Cities Organization asked Ottawa residents what they would like to see on Canada Day in 2017. The organization is going across the country to ask all Canadians what type of celebrations should take place in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capitals.

The evening turned into a brainstorming session featuring ideas ranging from legacy projects to neighbourhood parties to involving museums to creating a logging tournament.

Danielle Jeddore, who works for the federal government, was among those who attended the consultation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came out because I work for Aboriginal Affairs and I am interested in adding the Aboriginal perspective to the consultations,â&#x20AC;? she said.

That sort of perspective was exactly what Pottie was

looking for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get people talking and bring up ideas you would not have thought about,â&#x20AC;? Pottie said.

Jeddore and other residents from across the city participated after receiving an invitation through the National Capital Commission, which is a member of the Canadian Capital Cities Organization.

Beyond the series public meetings taking place at provincial and territorial capitals across the country, the organization has also set up

an online survey Canadians to ďŹ ll out on its website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to have something that everyone could do, even if they do not participate in the public consultations, we are still taking down their considerations,â&#x20AC;? Pottie said.

Information gathered from the consultation sessions and online survey will be used to draft a report, which will be completed in the fall.

For more information on the consultations or the 150th celebrations project, visit the website at www.ccco-occ. com.

Terry Fox van displayed and preserved at the Canadian Museum of Civilization EMC news - The Econoline camper van that was Terry Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home away from home during his heroic Marathon of Hope in 1980 has a new home of its own.

The iconic vehicle is being temporarily stored and preserved at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Gatineau.

The beige vehicle was Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sanctuary and travelling billboard. Side panels announced his name and purpose, and marked the prog-

ress of his historic and courageous attempt to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research.

The van is owned by the Fox family but is now being stored in museum-quality conditions to ensure its preservation until a permanent public home is found. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope are a critical part of Canadian history,â&#x20AC;? said Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation president Mark Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately, this work will advance our shared vision of ďŹ nding a home for all things Terry that can be enjoyed by all Canadians and citizens the world over.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is of considerable comfort and a tremendous relief that Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marathon of Hope home is now in good and capable hands,â&#x20AC;? said Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother Darrell Fox. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are grateful to the Canadian Museum of Civilization for its help in preserving this important piece of our

national heritage.â&#x20AC;?

The van was a constant presence throughout the Marathon of Hope and a familiar and stirring sight to millions of Canadians who saw it in person or followed Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress through the media.

Fully restored in 2008 by its maker, the Ford Motor Company, the van appears today as it did during Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run.

It will remain in storage at the museum for the foreseeable future.

The OCDSB continues to move ahead with the rollout of the Province of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full-day kindergarten program. The following schools in Zone 7 will have the program in place for the 2012-13 school year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Adrienne Clarkson Elementary School and Robert Bateman Public School. In addition, work will also begin soon on Farley Mowat Public School (new kindergarten room), Osgoode Public School (new addition) and Sawmill Elementary School (new addition and two new kindergarten rooms) to ready these schools for the program in 2013-14, at a cost of $2.0 million. Roberta Bonder Public School is also scheduled to receive the program in September 2013.

&INDLAY #REEK Elementary School Update A steady pace wins the race! We continue to see progress on building a new elementary school in Findlay Creek. The OCDSB has identiďŹ ed a new elementary school in Findlay Creek as a capital priority as part of its 2012 submission to the Ministry of Education. In addition, planning staff have proposed undertaking the necessary work to identify a grade and program structure, as well as school boundary, for a new school if time allows in 2013 in preparation for a funding announcement from the Ontario government, which is critical now that the OCDSB has been informed by the Government of Canada that the lease for the school will not be renewed in 2017. The goal is to open a new school in Findlay Creek in the 2014-15 timeframe.

Interim Advisory Committee for Early Learning As a result of a motion I brought forward to the Board of Trustees, the Board has approved the establishment of an Interim Advisory Committee for Early Learning. The committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandate will be to provide advice to the Board on all issues pertaining to the extended day program and related early learning issues. I am also pleased that I have been appointed by the Board to represent the Board of Trustees on this Committee.

EMC news - Creating a link to connect Canada from coast to coast.

Organizing a nationwide chorus of O Canada.

Offering immigrants the chance to tell their Canadian stories.

These were just some of the ideas that Ottawa residents tossed around at a public consultation at the Lord Elgin Hotel on June 25 to discuss what Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150th birthday celebration should look like.

The consultation exercise is part of a cross-country tour organized by the Canadian Capital Cities Organization.

Lee Ellen Pottie, who works for the organization, was part of the group that visited Ottawa on June 25 to seek input from interested residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to bring out Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sense of belonging and sense of ownership and get them excited about the upcoming celebrations,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The consultation asked participants to answer six questions: â&#x20AC;˘ How should Canada Day in 2017 be celebrated? â&#x20AC;˘ What major events can be created to mark the 150th anniversary? â&#x20AC;˘ What type of infrastructure or projects would people like to see to mark the anniversary? â&#x20AC;˘ What could be the unifying themes for the celebrations? â&#x20AC;˘ How can all Canadian across the country become engaged in the celebrations? â&#x20AC;˘ How can the year 2017 and the years leading up to 2017 encourage greater Canadian participation.

New fundraising policies for schools Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

THE EAB COULD BE IN YOUR TREE. Since 2008, the City of Ottawa has been battling the Emerald Ash Borer (the ‘EAB’), an invading beetle species that is singlehandedly wiping out the entire ash tree population. Over the last two years, many infected ash trees in Alta Vista ward have had to be removed; ash trees were planted historically along many avenues in the area in high concentration, so unfortunately this means the destruction caused by the beetle is particularly evident in our ward. As trees are removed, our streets look less idyllic, homes lose the shady cover, and property values are affected.

My office has been working to raise awareness of the EAB scourge from Day One, and we have just initiated a new campaign to further educate the Alta Vista residents. I have commissioned three videos on the EAB, which were launched last week, and can be seen at Youtube.com/peterhumeottawa.

These videos are meant to be shared through your own social networks; use these to help your neighbours learn more about the EAB and what needs to be done for the trees. Other initiatives will be underway in the following weeks; the hub of our campaign, though, is the new webpage eab.peterhume.ca. This page will work as a bulletin board for the most updated information available about the EAB in our area.

Ontario school boards are implementing new policies on fundraising as this school year ends, under a requirement that they incorporate the province’s new “best practices” by September.

The issue came to wide public attention with the publication of Fundraising Fever, a Metroland Special Report, which focused on growing concern about the overuse of fundraising and the disparities it creates.

The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board is updating its fundraising policy to match the new guidelines said Walter Piovesan, the board’s associate director of education.

He added the new policy would be available by the end of June or the beginning of September for consultation.

It will be up to the principal of each school to ensure fundraising is conducted within the new rules.

“It’s the principal who enforces the policy and works with the school councils or whoever is doing the fundraising to make sure the policy is being followed,” Piovesan said.

The Ottawa Catholic School Board is already “mostly compliant” with the new ministry guidelines said spokesperson Mardi de Kemp.

“The new requirements are being reviewed and the cur-

rent policies will be modified over the summer so that the board will be fully compliant by the fall,” said de Kemp.

fundraising guidelines are strong enough.”

The guidelines say fundraising should not duplicate existing funding – for example the ministry provides schools with money for textbooks and learning materials so raising funds to buy more is not permitted.

Kidder says the key to equitable education is to make sure it’s funded so everyone gets a good education; one that does not depend on fundraising.

“The problem with thinking of education as a charity

rather than as something we pay for through our taxes is that it changes how we think.

It entrenches fundraising as something we assume has to be there.”

Kidder says, “all fundraising isn’t bad, but there has to be a line.”

“I think the system has come to assume that where possible, parents will kind of take up the slack, or that parents will augment school budgets. It’s a really worrying assumption.”

Dad Wouldn’t Entertain The Thought Of Moving

At present, there is not a wide range of options for dealing with the EAB in our trees.

An experimental vaccine is available, which works by slowing down the spread of the beetle through the tree, giving us time to interplant new saplings of difference species that will eventually take the place of the ash. Residents can call 311 if they are seeking a tree inspector to assess their ash; they can also speak to 311 if they are interested in vaccinating a city tree on their own. Some neighbours are banding together to provide medication for a shared public tree. But it is important to know that some trees will be far too sick for treatment, and will have to be cut down, then carefully disposed of to avoid spread the beetle further. I know this will be hard for many residents, but the danger of a dead, brittle tree falling onto homes or neighbours is a serious one. We hope that steady interplanting of new tree species will reduce the impact of mass tree removal.

EMC news - A downtown social service centre is reaching out to the surrounding community to help raise money to send more than 50 under-privileged children to a theme park this summer.

Odette Uwambaye, from the Rwanda Social Services and Family Counselling centre started the initiative two years ago, with the goal of ensuring all children have the opportunity to take part in a one-day trip to a theme park.

This year, the destination is Marineland in Niagara Falls, Ont. “When school starts in the fall, all the kids are talking about their summer trips and travels,” Uwambaye said.

“There is always stories to tell, but there are those kids who have no where to go and no stories to tell. I want to give them a fun time and a story to tell.”

Uwambaye is using the fundraising campaign to give the children the opportunity to not only visit Marineland, but also the chance to camp at a community centre in Toronto along the way.

“Give them a good trip to talk about, something a lot of kids have the opportunity to do,” Uwambaye said.

There are families who can not afford to go anywhere and can sometimes only send their children to the community centre, Uwambaye added.

“That is not the same thing as going to a park or going on an adventure,” Uwambaye said, so she sought help from the community and raised money to organize the day trips to Parc Gérard-Lalonde and Parc Safari in Quebec.

While the cost of the previous trips was between $3,000 and $4,000, a more elaborate trip to Marineland with the campout in Toronto has driven the cost slightly higher.

“If we can raise $5,000 to $6,000 we will be able to send them,” Uwambaye said.

The cost of transportation is more than double what the organization has raised in the past because of the longer trip.

If they can not raise enough money, Uwambaye said they have an alternative plan to

Lighting needed to keep pedestrians safe Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Residents who live near Central Park are calling for more lighting to be installed to help deter crime.

The park, located in the Glebe, is regularly used as a cut-through for residents living in the area, according to Elizabeth Ballard, chairwoman of the Glebe Community Association parks committee.

In the last few years, she said crime, particularly assaults, has become an issue in the park.

“The feeling is that it would enhance women’s and other people’s security by having lighting in the park,” Ballard said.

A security review was conducted by the city late last summer and a community-driven safety audit by Women’s Initiatives for Safer Environments that received assistance from Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, members of the community association, area residents and Crime Prevention Ottawa was performed last fall.

The audit looked at the park’s use during the evening, with a strong focus on the park areas which were heavily shadowed because of limited lighting.

The park sits on what once the bed of Patterson Creek, lying well below the glare of adjacent streetlights.

“Because this is an exceptional case, because it is used as a pathway, the conclusion

Michelle Nash

Central Park in the Glebe, residents say, is typically used to cut through the neighbourhood and some neighbours feel the park is in desperate need of security lighting. of everyone was, in this park, crime prevention would be better served by lighting it effective than a dark park,” Ballard said.

A written report by Glebe resident Peter McKenzie for the association proposed new lighting in the park and a motion was passed by the association in October calling for upgrades to be made, adding 10 new lamp posts in the park.

The report estimates the new lighting will cost between

$75,000 and $100,000.

But, little movement on actually installing the lighting has been made since, with the delay coming down to the cost of the new lighting, Ballard said.

“The problem that we have is that there is only so much money in the cash-in-lieu because there are a lot of parks that all need money,” Ballard said. “We are really challenged by being able to find funding for this, even though

it is a security issues.”

Chernushenko said he is working on the issue and since the initial meetings last fall, he has been exploring a variety of possibilities for making the park safer.

The ongoing debate, Chernushenko said, is whether the city should enforce a city park bylaw prohibits activity in the park after 11 p.m.

“Lighting can give a false sense of security,” Chernushenko said.

Ballard disagrees.

“For a park that is in the city core, it just seems like a better idea to have it be secure and make it safe rather than not,” Ballard said.

Among the challenges of adding new lighting to the park, Chernushenko said, is the compatibility of existing lamp posts in the park.

The west side of the park received lighting upgrades about five years ago, but according to the parks commit-

tee report those lamps do not provide adequate lighting.

In addition, a portion of the park is slated for a city park life-cycle renewal in the next five years, which would see other existing lights replaced, but residents feel that is too far down the road when comes to discussing people’s security.

“People in their 80s may not take the path, because they may feel intimidated, but we are concerned about people in their teens, or 20s who will and are taking the path,” said Ballard. “We are just worried that there will be further incidents.”

In the interim, people whose homes back onto the park are doing their best to light sections of the park, but Ballard said it is really not their responsibility and such lighting won’t reach the pathways, where the it is most needed.

“Everyone is doing what we can, but it would be wonderful if the city could find the funds to do this because the enjoyment of the park is something people should feel safe about,” she added.

Chernushenko said he will be looking at all the arguments and said the next steps will be to have a public meeting to discuss the options.

Ballard welcomes any residents’ ideas or comments on how to help raise money to help fund the lighting proposal or who may have other ideas to keep the park safe at night.

Break and enters target yard equipment in Metcalfe Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – Break and enters are on the rise in the Metcalfe area according to the Ottawa Police, with thieves targeting yard and construction equipment.

Between March and June, there have been eight break and enters in the 8th Line Road area, with incidents increasing as the weather improves, said community police officer

Constable Nicole Gorham.

“People leave their sheds and garages open so it’s very accessible,” she said, noting that items like chainsaws, trimmers, lawn tractors and other yard equipment are the main targets.

There were two break-ins in March, three in April and four in May. “It’s definitely on the rise,” Gorham said.

The thefts are occurring

during the day, usually on a Saturday, and the suspects often knock on the door first to confirm no one is home. If someone answers, they ask vague questions about whether the house is for sale, if the resident has seen their dog or something similar.

Gorham said anyone who has a visitor like this should report it.

“They don’t just have the wrong address,” she said.

While most break-ins were residential, one commercial theft took place at a construction site on Suncrest Drive off Stagecoach Road, which Gorham said was likely one set of construction workers stealing from another.

“It’s a common theft. The site had a certain item that is a high-end item, and you have to know what that is. They knew specifically what they were going for,” she said.

For residential properties, Gorham said residents should always lock up their sheds and garages, even if they are simply going to the backyard or another part of the property. If you’re heading out for the weekend, make sure neighbours know you’re not expecting any visitors while you’re gone.

“It’s like neighbourhood watch. It’s neighbours looking out for neighbours. If you know they’re not moving or

having a garage sale, at least get that information so we have something to go on,” she said, noting that thieves do monitor houses before they target them. “A lot of people store their trailers on their properties and then on the weekend it’s gone. The thieves watch that, and they assume you’re with it,” Gorham said.

Suspicious activity should be reported to the police immediately.

Sleeker Soho Italia gets approval Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take Carling Avenue off the table for a light-rail line, city councillors told their staff advisers on June 27.

Following public opposition to a report that narrowed potential right-rail routes down to four options â&#x20AC;&#x201C; three of which include parts of the Byron-Richmond corridor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; councillors directed staff to keep looking at all 15 options that were originally examined.

The question is how lightrail will join Tunneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pasture to Baseline Station.

A May 30 city staff report indicated that the four options for a primary western LRT line were the â&#x20AC;&#x153;top corridorsâ&#x20AC;? and that one of them would eventually be chosen as the line to be built. But deputy city manager Nancy Schepers told council on June 27 that â&#x20AC;&#x153;nothing is being taken off the table.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 15 options all remain on the table,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will spend more time on some options that appear to be more viable than others.â&#x20AC;?

That drew jeers from a group of residents in the audience who were holding signs reading No LRT on ByronRichmond.

It also caused confusion around the council table and led several councillors to ask for â&#x20AC;&#x153;clarityâ&#x20AC;? about the process and when route options would be narrowed down.

Staffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation of a top route wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come until mid-2013, Schepers said.

Mayor Jim Watson said it

is important for the city to focus on getting shovels into the ground for the downtown light-rail tunnel before finalizing how to get rail to the west end of the city.

CO-OPERATION WITH THE NCC

The redirection seemed to hinge on recent discussions between the mayor and NCC chairwoman Marie Lemay.

The NCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willingness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or lack thereof â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to entertain the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preferred route along the Ottawa River Parkway has been a sticking point.

The parkway falls under the NCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s control.

Watson said he has had â&#x20AC;&#x153;productiveâ&#x20AC;? discussions recently with Lemay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both (the city and the NCC) acknowledged the need to integrate and align their policies, especially in areas of shared jurisdiction,â&#x20AC;?

Watson said, adding both bodies want to â&#x20AC;&#x153;meet each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals with a common approach.â&#x20AC;?

That led to a motion from transportation committee chairwoman, Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, to alter the timelines for the western LRT corridor study to allow the city and NCC to align some master plans both jurisdictions have in the works.

Among studies now underway are the NCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Horizon 2067 plan for the capital, the NCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital urban lands master plan as well as interim results from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s updates to its transportation master plan, which outlines future goals and routes for roads and

transit.

As the city continues to look at all options for western LRT, Kitchissippi Coun.

Katherine Hobbs asked staff to consider digging a tunnel along Richmond Road so that area doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose the road width intended as a cycling route, and to reduce the noise impact on surrounding homes. She suggested a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cut and coverâ&#x20AC;? type tunnel might be feasible and asked staff to include that idea in their research.

TUNNEL UNDER RICHMOND

Cut and cover tunnels are generally shallow and do not require expensive tunnelboring technology but some pipes and wires that are close to the surface may need to be relocated.

Hobbs also wants staff to consider adding another LRT station west of Dominion station. That would make LRT a transit option for people in that area and not just for commuters from the far west end to get to downtown, she said.

Meanwhile, another councillor whose ward is affected by the western LRT corridor, Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, was adamant that he wants the primary LRT line to go on Carling Avenue.

That arterial road is slated for a development-boosting secondary rail line with more frequent stops, but Taylor said he is happy to hear that city staff will continue to look at the possibility of running the high-speed primary rail line on Carling.

This updated design for Soho Italia paved the way for the planning committee to approves its rezoning on June 26. the street, move into the neighbourhood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes the battle over modernist and clean architecture becomes a discussion over bland (buildings), which is unfortunate,â&#x20AC;? Lahey said adding that he wants Soho Italia to look timeless.

These debates are something the city needs to have in this â&#x20AC;&#x153;new era of discussionâ&#x20AC;? about the height of towers, Miguelez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A project like this is about much more than building height.â&#x20AC;?

No western LRT route decisions until 2013

Submitted by Roderick Lahey Architects

Ad # 2012-03-7035-16423

Laura Mueller

Protestors from the group Neighbours for Smart Western Rail attend a June 26 city council meeting at Ben Franklin Place in Nepean to voice opposition to a city report that scored three routes that include portions of the Byron-Richmond corridor highest for light-rail.

EMC news - What was set to become a debate over how tall buildings should be allowed to rise on Preston Street instead became a forum to discuss Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bland architecture.

In the end, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning committee approved a proposal for Soho Italia, a 30-storey condo tower and mixed-use building, but one that featured a drastically different design than the standout, wavy tower inspired by Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aqua building, put forward about a year ago by architect Roderick Lahey on behalf of Mastercraft Starwood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really worthy of the location,â&#x20AC;? Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said during the planning committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s June 26 meeting. When it was first proposed, the wave shapes the balconies created around the tower made an impressive statement and echoed nearby Dowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lake, which the luxury condos are meant to have views of.

Other planning committee members didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mince words.

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said he would rather see a taller building, even 50 or 60 storeys, if it had a stronger design. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a rectangle. I can design a rectangle,â&#x20AC;? Blais said before voicing the lone vote of dissent against the proposal.

While Kitchissippi Coun.

Katherine Hobbs said she was disappointed to see the waves gone, she said the redesigned podium at the towerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s base is far more important.

Originally Lahey included a multi-storey above-ground parking garage at the base of the tower, a feature the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning staff was not keen on. They worked with Lahey for more than a year to put the parking underground and create a mixed-use podium at the base that will create more visual interest for a stronger streetscape, said city planner Alain Miguelez. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This works better for the people who live in this area â&#x20AC;Ś (We are) working to have a sense of community with every building,â&#x20AC;? Hobbs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not (a poor design). It is what we are fighting for in our downtown.â&#x20AC;?

Ottawa is ready for iconic architecture, such as what Lahey originally proposed, Miguelez added, but the architect switched gears and changed to a sleeker design about a year ago.

While the older proposal was â&#x20AC;&#x153;bold and aggressive,â&#x20AC;?

Lahey said the new one is more â&#x20AC;&#x153;elegant.â&#x20AC;? He said he changed the designs because he wanted it to be sensitive to the traditional main street of Preston Street and how it is set to evolve as other tall buildings, such as Claridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed Icon building across

New students for Dickinson House make for exciting summer Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – Dickinson Square will come alive this summer after Dickinson House and Watson’s Mill received federal funding to hire more students than ever before.

It’s Dickinson House that is making the difference this summer. Run by the Rideau Township Historical Society, it was approved for three full-time students for the first time ever this summer, allowing the yellow heritage home in Manotick’s historic heart to be open during the week as well as on weekends.

According to society president Bill Tupper, the society decided it was time to solicit more help and applied for funding from the Canada Summer Jobs and Young Canada Works programs.

With the help of Nepean-Carleton MPP Pierre Poilievre, Dickinson House received funding for three full-time staff for 14 weeks this season – one from Canada Summer Jobs and two from Young Canada Works. For the first time ever, the house will

now be open to the public five days a week, from Wednesday to Sunday.

“In that sense it’s a breakout year for us. We have been operating for the last five years with Dickinson House open only on the weekends,” Tupper said, noting the costumed students have already made a noticeable difference since they started in May. “We’re now able to be open five days a week and it’s relieved the pressure on volunteers on the weekend. And it’s allowed us to get caught up on some research and housekeeping items as well,” Tupper said.

Poilievre announced on Wednesday, June 27 that about 90 university and college students will have jobs in the riding this summer because of the Canada Summer Jobs program.

Watson’s Mill received $19,000 in funding for four of those positions, as well as more funding for three Young Canada Works positions.

While the mill is used to getting student funding, even the mill had to sweat a bit this year. Mill manager Isabelle Geoffrion said it was down to

the wire before they were approved this spring, which left her nervous before opening day on May 5.

“Pierre really pulled through for us this year. When he phoned just before season opening, I hadn’t heard back yet about any of the programs and I was really getting worried. I was actually in the middle of writing a plan B for my directors, that we might have to close the mill two days a week for the summer,” she said. “When Pierre phoned (to confirm the funding) it caught me off guard, I was just so relieved.”

Poilievre said he has made it a priority to help organizations like Watson’s Mill.

“I believe these (youth employment) programs should serve primarily non-profit organizations. These groups serve a valuable public interest and they don’t make money to do it, so some financial support to match the charitable giving that they receive always helps,” he said.

Other organizations in the area that received funding for summer students include the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, the Metropolitan

Bible Church at Prince of Wales Drive and Hunt Club Road and the Royal City Soccer Club.

In Dickinson Square, the students will be responsible for running special events, programs and day camps, as well as giving tours and interpreting the stories of the mill and Dickinson House. But first and foremost, their job is to bring the square to life.

“We’re working towards making this a living heritage site. You need people that are outside, visible to the public,” Geoffrion said. “If you only have one or two people they’re kind of stuck inside just doing the bare minimum to keep the doors open.”

Poilievre said having so many students in Dickinson Square is a positive situation for the entire village, because Watson’s Mill and Dickinson House can provide better programming, summer students can gain valuable job experience and area businesses can benefit from the tourism that Dickinson Square attracts.

“As long as we keep it functioning, it’s good for retailers across the village,” he said.

Thank You to Our Generous Sponsors!

Every year I have the privilege of hosting a number of community events and meetings, which would not be as successful as they are without the help of many generous sponsors. We are so lucky to live in such a generous city and I ask you to please join me in thanking the following organizations who have recently sponsored events in our Ward: Baskin Robins City of Ottawa By-Law & Regulatory Services City of Ottawa Environmental Services City of Ottawa Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services Enbridge Farmers Pick Hydro Ottawa Conservation Team Loblaws Mayor Jim Watson Metro Moncion’s Your Independent Grocer Mulligan’s Florist Ottawa 67’s Ottawa Fire Service Ottawa Paramedic Service Ottawa Police Service Ottawa Public Health Papa Jack Popcorn PM Event Services Shoppers Drug Mart Starbucks Swiss Chalet The Keg Tim Hortons Tim Hortons/Rogers TV Community Cruiser Water Salon & Spa Windsor Park Manor Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or feedback about any matter.

A total of 10 students will bring Dickinson Square to life this summer. Three of those students were hired to work as costumed interpreters at Dickinson House this summer, which will allow the heritage home operated by the Rideau Township Historical Society to open during the week for the first time ever.

Dickinson monument gets a facelift for eternity Rideau Township Historical Society restores headstone of prominant local man Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – Manotick founder Moss Kent Dickinson’s family headstone in Beechwood Cemetery has been restored to its former glory – at least, as close as possible.

The Rideau Township Historical Society took on the task to restore Dickinson’s monument more than three years ago, and on Saturday, June 30 the society and members of the community officially unveiled the newly repaired monument and a brand new boulder explaining Dickinson’s significance.

Society member Brian Earl, who spearheaded the project, said he was “really, really, really happy” about how the restored monument turned out.

The tall limestone pillar that towers in the old section of Beechwood Cemetery had broken off in the middle years ago, with its ornate top resting

face-down in the grass for an unknown number of years.

The entire monument had been twisted off-kilter on its base, and some names and dates were barely readable because of the grime and moss that had built up over the years.

Now the monument is clean and the pillar stands as tall as ever with its stone wreath of roses and ornate drapery restored as best as possible for a historical artifact.

A large boulder rests in front of the monument near the road, with a bilingual plaque that tells the brief history of Moss Kent Dickinson and his work in the area.

A smaller plaque lists the names and dates of the eight people buried in the family plot. This will preserve the information that is slowly wearing off the sandstone inserts on the monument.

“Now at least we’ve got them permanently. That’s laser-etched granite, so that’s not going away,” he said.

Martel and Sons in Vankleek Hill did the work, and Earl said he couldn’t be happier.

“They did everything we wanted,” he said. “I’m really pleased with the way it looks, I really am.”

The project cost $4,600,

which was covered by the historical society, Dickinson Square Heritage Management Inc (DSHMI) and a $2,000 heritage grant from the City of Ottawa.

The family plot includes Dickinson, his wife Elizabeth Trigge and his six children. In a bizarre twist of fate, none of Dickinson’s six children married, so he had no descendents to care for the family monument once the last child died.

Earl said without descendents to take responsibility the monument fell into disrepair.

Since individual monuments are privately owned, the cemetery doesn’t have the authority to repair them without the family’s permission, executive director Roger Boult said.

However in cases like the Dickinson monument, Boult said it’s possible to go ahead without permission.

“When there is no identifiable owner or no survivors, we could undertake the repairs ourselves if we had the funds to do so,” he said in March.

Now that it’s fixed, Earl said the historical society can relax.

“Now we don’t have to do anything again for 100 years,” he laughed. The monument is located in section 22, lot 57 of the cemetery.

St. Mark students share stage with Roger Waters Students describe opportunity as once-in-a-lifetime Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC entertainment – The lights are bright and the crowd is loud. Backstage, excitement builds as the cue to run on stage creeps closer.

“Stand by, stand by,” a roadie says.

Excited squeals and muffled laughter fills the dark alleyway hidden by curtains.

And then: “Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!” Spurred into action, 15 high school students burst onto the Scotiabank Place stage to fulfill their fives minutes of fame with Roger Waters, the founder of progressive 1960s rock band Pink Floyd.

Clapping and singing, wearing T-shirts that read “Fear Builds Walls,” the St. Mark High School students were the choir in Waters’ performance of “Another Brick in the Wall,” one of Pink Floyd’s most well-known songs.

The opportunity comes from Waters’ global tour called The Wall, in which he performs the entire album of the same name with much theatrics, staging and pyrotechnics. In every city, the tour promoters invite a local school to perform the choir parts with Waters on stage.

When Live Nation promoter Ken Craig approached St.

Mark music teacher Gabriel Leury about the opportunity, “I couldn’t pass it up,” he said.

“I just think it’s a great opportunity for the students to have. A large-scale production opportunity doesn’t come by very often,” Leury said, adding that the experience will also help profile the school and possibly lead to other opportunities down the road.

It was the last thing I did as a St. Mark Lion.

What an amazing way to end six years of high school.

CAROLINE O’NEILL, A GRADE 12 STUDENT

For the students, who ranged in age from Grade 8 to Grade 12, the experience was nothing short of life-changing.

“You just take a chance and audition for it and a couple weeks later you’re standing on a stage singing in front of 15,000 people,” said Grade 8 student Kelsey Ewen.

“It’s one of the best feelings. You’re never going to feel that way and you’re never going to be so excited to be doing something like that,” added Caroline O’Neill, a Grade 12 student who graduated a few days after the concert on Monday, July 25. “It was the last thing I did as a St. Mark Lion. What an amazing

J.P. Cloutier

Fifteen St. Mark High School students performed Another Brick in the Wall with Roger Waters at Scotiabank Place on Monday, June 25. way to end six years of high school.”

Participating students described the experience as “unbelievable” and “amaz-

ing.” Not only did they get to perform with Waters on stage, they also got some personal practice time with him before the concert as well.

J.P. Cloutier

Former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters performs Another Brick in the Wall with the help of students from St. Mark High School.

“When we went to sound check we practiced with Roger and his band and we only ran through it twice because we were pretty good, apparently,” laughed Leith Ross, a Grade 8 student who admitted she caught the performing bug after five minutes with such a huge crowd.

Leury affirmed Ross’s suspicion that the choir was exceptional compared to choirs in other cities.

“The people involved with the show came and said the students were well-prepared and one of the best groups they’ve seen,” he said.

The song protests against rigid school policies and was against UK boarding schools in particular when it was written in 1979. As part of the tour, a towering 60-foot puppet of a teacher with glowing eyes – a creature the students

called “horrifying” – leers over the stage during the song’s performance.

Despite the seemingly antiteacher tone of the song, St. Mark teacher J.P. Cloutier, who was taking photos on stage, said the song is not against education, but against oppression.

“It’s about the type of education that oppresses students and doesn’t let them reach their full potential, and that’s not what we’re about here,” he said.

For the 15 students, the opportunity to face the world on stage brought them all a step closer to realizing their own potential.

At the very least, the memory will never fade.

“It will be on YouTube so we can go back and show our grandchildren,” Ross laughed.

Brighton Beach oak tree continues to inspire Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Crafted from the remains of a massive oak tree, a sculpture paying tribute to Carleton University’s dedication to accessibility was officially dedicated at the River Building on June 26.

Sculptor David Fels creation Sailing through Time, carved from the remains of the Brighton Beach oak that was cut down in Old Ottawa South last summer, also honours the 25th anniversary of Rick Hansen’s Man in Motion tour.

Carleton University president Roseann O’Reilly Runte announced the school’s commitment to the READ initiative, which focuses on research, education, accessibility and design, during the dedication of a plaque for the sculpture.

“Accessibility is really the theme of today,” O’Reilly Runte said. “People often think of our miles of tunnels, but they don’t often think of our services.”

The initiative will bring a greater focus to disability issues, develop policy and will

conduct applied research.

The goal is also for the initiative to provide a forum for collaborations with community groups and governments.

O’Reilly Runte said it was Larry McCloskey, the director of Carleton’s Paul Menton Centre for Students with Disabilities, a group interested in promoting a multi-disciplinary focus on accessibility, who brought up the idea of using the Brighton Beach oak as an art piece to honour Rick Hansen famous world tour and Carleton’s commitment to accessibility.

“The demand for new programs in this area is growing,” McCloskey said. “And we want Carleton to be at the forefront of studies and research that have applications to everyone but keep disability in mind.”

O’Reilly Runte credited Capital Coun. David Chernushenko for making the sculpture possible by speaking with the residents of Old Ottawa South and paving the way for the tree to make it’s second home at the university.

Chernushenko said it wasn’t

*Delivered to selected areas Ottawa South EMC - Thursday, July 5, 2012

necessarily easy to have all the residents, who were sad the tree had to come down at all, to agree for the remains to go to the university.

“I told them, the university is in Capital Ward and many Old Ottawa South residents go to the university, it seemed fitting,” Chernushenko said.

The Mayor Jim Watson, Lt.-Gov. David C. Onley and his wife Ruth Ann Onley also attended the plaque dedication.

Fels, a Westboro-based artist, said he has worked with trees for more than three decades, but this was his biggest project to date.

Marcelle Lapointe attended the event and seeing the sculpture for the first time, the Pineview resident was brought to tears.

“It is just awesome,” she

said. “This is what awesome means.”

Lapointe thought she would be emotional for the loss of the tree, but instead, she said the tears were of joy to see that although the tree had to be cut down, it still has a future.

Lapointe said she was happy to hear the sculpture was dedicated to Rick Hansen, finding it made sense.

“He is a man in motion and this tree remains still, in motion,” Lapointe said.

Onley agreed.

“Rick (Hansen) is a mighty oak,” he said. “I cannot think of a more fitting way commemorate Rick’s Man in Motion tour than with this inspiring, unique work of art.”

Michelle Nash

At a celebration of the Brighton Beach oak tree sculpture at Carleton University on June 26, the university invited Mayor Jim Watson, Lt.-Gov. David Onley and Carleton University president Roseann O’Reilly Runte to unveil a plaque dedicating David Fels sculpture Sailing through Time.

Cody Ceci stays close to home as Sens draft pick Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Cody Ceci hasn’t had to leave behind his friends, family, or mom’s homecooked meals to play major junior hockey with the Ottawa 67’s.

And he won’t need to in order to play professional hockey either, after the Orleans’ native was drafted 15th by the Ottawa Senators in the 2012 NHL draft.

Ceci and his family watched as teams were called to the stage to announce their first round drafts in Pittsburgh and as the Ottawa Senators pick got closer and closer, the anticipation grew.

And at the end, he said the experience wasn’t what he expected – it was even better.

“It was definitely pretty special,” Ceci said.

“On that day I had no idea where I was going to go and the best possible scenario was to come home and play in my home town, so everything just worked out.”

Ceci grew up in Orleans, attending St. Francis of Assisi and St. Clare schools, and St. Peter High School for grades 7 and 8, before leaving to attend private school in Peterborough, Ont. In the OHL draft, he learned he’d be coming home to play for the 67’s, and returned to St. Peter for grades 11 and 12.

It’s a relief for his parents to keep him close to home after seeing him leave as a high school student to play for the Peterborough Minor Petes following a career with the Eastern Ontario Wild.

“They’re pretty excited,” he said. “My mom didn’t want me leaving home again like when I went away to private school, so she’s happy I’m staying around.”

Growing up in Orleans means he’s been following the Senators since childhood, attending games and watching his hometown team on television. He remembers being one of the younger kids who looked up to the 67’s and Senators “not too long ago,” getting excited if he got a chance to see one of the players.

With the 67’s set to play at Scotiabank Place next year, his daily commute won’t change if he suits up in a 67’s or Senators jersey.

“I’m pretty fortunate to be drafted for my hometown for major junior, and then again for the National Hockey League,” he said.

He gets the support of friends and family, who he said watch him even more closely than they would if he played elsewhere, and hope he makes the Senators final cut for next year’s roster.

“I’m a two way defenceman and I like to get up on the play and make things happen but at the same time I’ve been playing against top lines in my major junior so I think I can do a good job in shutting that down,” Ceci said.

Gregory Shamus/NHLI via Getty Images

He’s got an advantage over out of town players through development camp and summer training, and he gets to go home at the end of the night, and keep his focus on hockey.

“I think it’s a huge advantage,” he said. “I think that just helps you play your best and not worry about other things,” He won’t have to worry about cooking or living on a fast-food diet either – mom has the home cooked meals taken care of.

“She makes a lot of pasta, and I love pasta,”

he said. “ICody eat it Ceci before every game.”by his hometown team, the Ottawa Senators, as the Orleans’ was drafted 15th pick in the 2012 NHL draft.

Hookahs banned in city parks All smoking implements now banned from parks and beaches Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Water pipes and other smoking implements are now banned from city properties, including parks and beaches.

The move is an addition to the recent expansion of the city’s Smoke-Free Ottawa bylaw, which bans cigarette smoking on city property.

The increasing popularity of water pipes, also known as hookahs or shisha, led the

Michelle Nash

Ride for Dad takes to the Rideau River michelle.nash@metroland.com

The city report identifies two grounds under which the new bylaw could be contested in court.

Someone could claim that water-pipe use should be allowed for cultural reasons (it’s a popular pastime in the Middle East) and medical marijuana users could argue that it violates their rights under the Federal Marihuana Medical Access Regulations, part of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

FLYER IN THE R0011472537/0628

EMC news - The local Ride for Dad Watercraft Edition has partnered with the Ottawa Police to help raise awareness and support for prostate cancer.

This year, Eastern Ontario will join the already established Ride for Dad Watercraft Edition in Windsor, Ont. The event will take place at Rideau Ferry and will welcome participants from across the region as well as members of the city’s police force who will hit the water in various watercraft vehicles on July 7.

“It is all about raising awareness for prostate cancer,” said Brian Ivay, executive director of the Ride for Dad Watercraft Edition. “This is the transition from motorcycles to watercraft and the next generation of Ottawa police’s involvement in the Ride for Dad.” The Ride for Dad event, which took place on June 2, began in Ottawa in 2000, with only 80 participants. The event has since expanded to 30 communities across Canada and has raised more than $9 million for prostate cancer research and treatment.

The watercraft edition began in Windsor in 2011 as an addition to the motorcycle ride. Ivay said it was at the last Ottawa Boat Show where he

began speaking to area businesses and the police about the possibility of starting up an Eastern Ontario watercraft edition.

“Everyone was really into the idea and from there it just took off,” Ivay said. “We have had a lot of support from Ride for Dad to get this going.”

The watercraft ride is open to all jet-powered watercraft, including personal watercraft vehicles like Sea-Doos (standup and sit-down models) and jet boats.

The ride will depart Rideau Ferry and continue to Narrows Lock and then heading to Westport on Upper Rideau Lake. Then it’s back to the lock at Newboro and then heading back to Narrows Lock and then back onto Big Rideau Lake. All lock fees are included in registration.

The ride will then cross to Portland and loop back to Rideau Ferry.

The round trip is expected to take about four to five hours with a total distance of 70 kilometres.

Interested participants can pre-register for the Watercraft Ride for Dad online at www. ridefordad.ca or come out on ride day.

The ride begins at 11 a.m. with closing ceremonies and a party will take place at Farrell Hall in Perth beginning at 5 p.m.

irritate the eyes, noses and throats of passersby, according to a public health report.

Poor farmer indeed who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feed his family

F

rom now until the crisp fall days ďŹ lled the air with the scent of burning leaves, our house smelled of simmering sugar and tart vinegar coming off the Findlay Oval. It was pickling and preserving time.

And the smells hung onto our clothes for days as if we had been sprayed and we would notice just about everyone at Northcote School smelled the same way.

The huge vegetable garden would ďŹ nally show the results of Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constant attention and yellow beans, carrots, beets, cucumbers, blood-red tomatoes and just about any other vegetable you could name were all ready for picking.

As well, wild strawberries, mostly found along the Canadian PaciďŹ c Railway tracks that snaked through our farm, would already have been turned into jam. Raspberries, found growing in great abundance in a secluded spot in the dense woods on the property, were hauled out in milk cans and now sat in jars and sealers of every description. The jams were thick and sweet, but the preserves were a different matter. They were sweet too, but the berries always ďŹ&#x201A;oated to the top of the jars, leaving thick, sweet syrup on the bottom, which I was known to drink right

MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories out of the jar when Mother wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking.

Every glass jar that had come into the house over the past months would be saved for this time of year. Washed thoroughly, then boiled in the big copper kettle on the stove, they were of every shape and size.

And always there was a small pot of wax on the very back of the stove, usually on the reservoir, ready to pour over the jars holding the jams and pickles. It was unusual if Mother had to buy new wax every year, because since the last pickling and preserving session when the wax was removed from a jar, it was rinsed off and put in a cardboard box in the summer kitchen and reused time and again. Goodness knows how many years the same piece of wax had made the rounds, melted down again and again.

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop of preserves and pickles, stacked on a swinging shelf in what passed for a cellar, had gotten low. Fresh sheets of the Renfrew Mercury would be

folded and placed on the shelves, ready for the new batches of jars and sealers.

What we called the cellar wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really a cellar at all.

While most of our neighbours had a dug-out you got to from a trap door in their kitchen, you could only get into ours from outside the house.

Two big ďŹ&#x201A;at doors, on a slant from the ground to the side of the house, had to be hoisted and laid back to get down into our cellar, which was nothing more than a sandy pit an ancestor of Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had dug out a century before.

A swinging shelf was above the sand, and attached to the ďŹ&#x201A;oorboards of the underside of the house. It was a dark, dank place that scared the starch out of me every time I was sent down.

Vegetables were buried in the sand and my brother Emerson further ďŹ&#x201A;amed my fears by telling me he knew for a fact it was where snakes spent the long cold winters!

Rotary making inroads From left, Mayor Jim Watson and Gloucester South-Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches join Patricia Boomer and John Archer of the Ottawa Rotary Club on Saturday, June 30, to unveil the new street name for the road leading to the Ottawa Rotary Home off Bank Street in Ottawa South.

The newly named road, Rotary Way, celebrates the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30th anniversary of offering respite services for families in Ottawa. The Ottawa Rotary Homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leitrim campus was opened in 2009 to complement the 30-yearold Rochester Street campus.

next to us or Mrs. Beam the wonderful neighbour, who as well as treating everyone in the Northcote area for minor afďŹ&#x201A;ictions, was also known for her dill pickles and spiced crabapples, both of which always won prizes at the Renfrew fair.

Mother had come from New York where pickles, jams and jellies were bought at the grocery store and â&#x20AC;&#x153;doing downâ&#x20AC;? vegetables and fruits was as foreign to her as making homemade lye soap, all of which she mastered with the help of neighbours. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take her long to catch on to harvesting the garden either. There was scarcely a meal back then that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite pickles in a bowl on the table. He said no dinner was complete without chili sauce or yellow beans done in brine. Mother could serve up turnips, potatoes and even a bowl of sauerkraut, but Father always asked; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Got any of that chili sauce and those yellow beans?â&#x20AC;? My sister Audrey would jump up and dump out a good portion of each and put it on the table.

Back then, the Depression was all around us. There was no money for frivolity.

We learned not to ask for something as simple as new hair ribbons or store-bought underwear or a toy we may have seen in the Five and Dime Store in Renfrew. We were barely able to buy coal oil for the lamps or a needed piece of harness or gas for the old Model T. But our table was always full. Vegetables, preserves, sauerkraut and an apple barrel in the summer kitchen and a smoke house full of meat ... and I heard it said more than once, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a poor farmer indeed who cannot feed his family.â&#x20AC;?

As visitors move through the exhibit of intricately stitched panels, a story unfolds in ďŹ&#x201A;owing language and illustrations. Panel by panel, viewers discovers tales of the people, places, culture, heritage and accomplishments of Canada.

Ward learned to embroider as a young child in Yorkshire, England.

In 1957, at the age of 27, she emigrated to Canada where she raised a family of six children and developed a deep appreciation for the virtues of her adopted home.

Thirty years later, to fulďŹ ll a personal need to â&#x20AC;&#x153;create something positive,â&#x20AC;? she began work on the panels; a project that would take four years to complete.

Admission is free, and the exhibit runs until Sept. 9.

Chocolate cake, raspberries make an easy summer dessert

T

his raspberry-flavoured chocolate cake makes a simple and delicious dessert for a summer supper or party.

The fudge cake can be made a day ahead, then sliced and arranged on individual serving plates. Arrange some fresh raspberries beside each piece then add a scoop of frozen vanilla yogurt or ice cream. This is light and refreshing.

This recipe calls for raspberry pancake syrup. Be sure you get what is labelled as “pancake syrup.” There are other types of raspberry syrup, which are very thin and meant for mixing with water or summer drinks. They just don’t work in this recipe, and neither does raspberry jam. I’ve tried them both.

Only raspberry pancake syrup will do.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CAKE

• 4 squares semi-sweet baking chocolate • 2 tbsp. white sugar • 1/2 cup raspberry pancake syrup • 1/2 cup butter or block margarine, softened enough at room temperature to mix easily • 1 1/4 cups white sugar • 3 eggs

the flour to the creamed egg mixture. Using the electric mixer, beat until the flour is completely incorporated. Add about two tablespoons of the milk, and mix again until well combined.

Continue adding the flour and milk alternately to the batter, beating well after each addition. Occasionally, scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Add the chocolate and raspberry syrup mixture to the batter. With a spatula or longhandled spoon, stir this into the batter until there are no streaks of white or chocolate.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake at 350 F (175 C) for 55 to 60 minutes.

Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out sticky, bake for another five to 10 minutes, then check again.

When the cake is done, remove it from the oven. Set the pan on a wire rack, and cool completely before serving.

Butter and flour an 20-centimetre cake pan.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate, raspberry syrup and two tablespoons of sugar.

Microwave on high for one minute, stir and then microwave on high for another minute. The mixture will be hot enough to finish melting the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has completely melted, then set aside to cool to room temperature.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter, or margarine, with the white sugar.

Add the eggs, one a time, and beat until thoroughly combined.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.

Bayshore kids should be tested for lead: experts Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

UNDER AGE 6

A University of Ottawa professor who has expertise in neurocognitive development suggested testing of young children exposed to lead.

Amedeo D’Angiulli wrote in an email that all the children in the school should be tested as a precaution: “especially under the age of six.”

EMC news - The Ottawa Catholic School Board appointed Joanne MacEwan as the new trustee for Beacon Hill-Cyrville/Innes wards at a public meeting on June 27.

After the sudden death of the ward’s former trustee Katalin Sheskay on May 17, the board announced on June 4 that it would appoint a new trustee.

Joanne MacEwan The board interviewed eight candidates for the posi-

tion, and following a secret ballot vote, appointed MacEwan.

MacEwan is a long-time community member and current co-chairwoman of the Catholic School Parents Association and the chairwoman of the board’s parent involvement committee.

She was sworn in as the new trustee at the June 27 meeting.

“We are pleased to have Joanne MacEwan join the

board after the sad and sudden loss of trustee Sheskay,” said board chairman Mark Mullan.

“We look forward to working with her. She brings a wealth of experience to the board with a strong background building partnerships and developing networks between parents, administration and the community.”

MacEwan will join the board for her first official meeting in the fall.

TESTING

Thomas Moon, vice-dean of the faculty of science at Carleton University, said that if the children at Bayshore only consumed the water for a matter of weeks, the effects may be minimal, but added that tests are recommended.

“It’s a pretty hard call,” Moon said. “Over the short term… I doubt that there are a lot of effects simply because it’s not there long enough.”

However, given the young age of some of the children, Moon said testing would be a good idea.

“These are really high levels; you’re talking 60 times higher than what they should be,” he said. “Kids that are really young, their brains are developing much more quickly, so it could affect them more than it’s going to affect 14year-olds. I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get tests done.”

Peddle said on June 28 that testing the blood of students has not been suggested to parents. She said the board received advice from the city’s public health department about testing for lead “and the students don’t require it at this point.”

Ottawa public health supervisor Kathy Downey said parents who are concerned can take their children to their family doctors for a blood test.

The water is flowing at Bayshore Public School, but there are still concerns about high levels of lead found in the school’s water in May and early June.

Experts at two Ottawa universities suggest young children at Bayshore Public School be tested for exposure to lead and Ottawa public health says concerned parents can have their children tested by their family doctors.

The water in all schools is tested annually, and a May 14 sample at Bayshore Public School found lead levels more than 60 times the amount considered safe to drink.

The school’s water fountains were shut down and bottled water supplied to students. The school’s pipes were flushed daily and the water retested weekly until two tests in a row showed the water was deemed safe to drink.

The cause of the jump in lead levels at Bayshore has not been confirmed and it’s not clear how long students may have been drinking water contaminated with high levels of lead.

A possible cause may have been a new water fountain installed in early March or a clothes washer installed in April.

Public school board spokeswoman Lauren Peddle said the board’s facilities department suspects recent construction near the school may have played a part on the high levels of lead found in May and early June.

About 400 children attend Bayshore Public School, from kindergarten to Grade 5.

Health Canada says exposure to lead can affect the intellectual development of children.

The federal department says infants and toddlers are particularly vulnerable to the harmful effects of lead.

available if the lead exposure is caught at an early stage.

Testing for lead involves taking a pin-prick blood sample.

If lead levels are found to be elevated, a doctor can prescribe chelation therapy, which includes a medication that binds to the lead in the patient so it can more easily pass out of the body in their urine.

D’Angiulli suggested parents refer to the Mayo Clinic’s website at www.mayoclinic. com/health/lead-poisoning/ FL00068 for more information.

The site lists both shortand long-term effects of lead exposure. Some of the short term effects include: • irritability • loss of appetite • weight loss • sluggishness and fatigue • constipation • earning difficulties Long term effects include learning disabilities such as ADHD, dyslexia and in the worst cases, a lower IQ.

Sold-out Metcalfe Charity Classic still looking for event sponsors Golf club hopes to raise $7,000 for Osgoode Care Centre Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – The 12th annual Metcalfe Charity Classic golf tournament was sold out weeks in advance of the July 11 tee-off, and that means the event could raise more than $7,000 for the Osgoode Township Care Centre.

With 136 golfers registered to play at the Metcalfe Golf Club, $2,720 is automatically

raised through a $20 donation in the registration fee.

But the other thousands come from the day’s silent auction, hole sponsorships and other contests.

Metcalfe Golf Club general manager Rob Howell said it’s important to the club to support the local nursing home, because it’s where many local residents live during their senior years.

“A lot of residents from this area now reside at the centre.

It’s very much a part of our community, it’s just down the road and it helps a lot of people.

“It’s a great facility, the people who work there are very community-minded,” Howell said.

Last year’s donation was designated to help replace the 25-year-old building’s windows.

This year’s funds haven’t been designated yet, but Howell hopes the money will be used for patient care.

“They convinced us last year

to do the windows because there was a big need, but this year we’re hoping to steer it back to something that directly benefits the patients,” he said.

In previous years the tournament’s money has been used to create a “snoozelin room” for patients with dementia, Alzheimer’s and anxiety, and to provide supplies for various patient recreation programs.

The Osgoode Care Centre, located on Snake Island Road just west of Bank Street, was built 25 years ago mainly through community fundraising.

The tournament begins at

Crime date down: police City of Ottawa

2 p.m. on Wednesday, July 11 with a shotgun start, and includes a roast beef dinner, putting contests and other activities.

Prizes for the silent auction include Ottawa Senators tickets, access to the Molson hockey house at Cornerstone Bar in the Byward Market, several Adirondack chairs, golf bags, a bar fridge and golf passes for courses across the city.

Howell said sponsorships and prize donations are still welcome. For more information about sponsorship or participating in the tournament call 613-821-3673.

The number of crimes against people, homicides and motor vehicle fatalities decreased in 2011, according to a report recently presented to the Ottawa Police Services Board.

The 2011 Crime, Police and Traffic Statistics Report also found that while calls for service to the Ottawa Police were up by about one per cent, the overall level of reported crime fell by over two percent in 2011.

Ottawa police received 390,000 calls for service in 2011 with 36,622 Criminal Code of Canada offences being reported, down by 860 incidents.

Stefanie Lomatski, executive director of the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women spoke about the group’s first position paper on how violence against women is portrayed.

Group wants to start the violence against women conversation Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC community - A westOttawa based coalition wants to make sure the overall issue of violence against women in Canada isn’t ignored.

Along with launching a new website, the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women will now be producing position papers throughout the year on a variety of topics for the community’s interest.

“We’re building our capacity, making connections, and we’re really excited about these movements,” said Stefanie Lomatski, executive director of the coalition. “(Having these) position papers are a way to be more cohesive.”

The coalition hopes to release three to five position papers a year.

The first position paper coalition launched on June 28 dealt with how violence against women has been portrayed in the media, particularly when it comes to honour killings.

“The assumed cultural nature of the case spread like wildfire,” said Corrine Mason, a PhD student from the University of Ottawa, who studied how the recent Shafia murder trial was covered by two daily newspapers.

Mason’s research forms the basis of coalition’s position that the way the trial was presented in the media was that violence against women in Canada became “ordinary” and honour killings became “extraordinary.”

Mason concluded through her study of the Shafia trial that there were implications Canada was superior to the “Muslim world” regarding violence against women.

She said that’s simply not true, however.

Citing Statistics Canada reports, she said of the 146 women killed in homicides in 2008, 45 were murdered by their spouse or domestic partner. Between 2007 and 2008, more than 61,600 women were seeking abuse shelters.

She added that according to the Native Women’s Association of Canada, there are 583 missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls in the country.

“Honour killings (were portrayed as) a misogynist culture, committed by Muslims against Muslim women and children, and it was carefully planned,” she said.

“Domestic violence by contrast (was portrayed as) individual men who were a few bad apples, non-Muslim, and women were not killed for transgressing cultural boundaries.”

The coalition also said they’d like to work with media organizations and come up with a collaboration project that would help both parties get the message of violence against women out.

Jordan Fairbairn who does public engagement for the coalition, and is also a PhD student, said the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence worked successfully with journalists and together came up with a hand book on reporting violence against women stories.

“This is a model to work off of in Canada,” said Fairbairn.

“They started from a point in recognizing that these are tough issues to cover.”

Greely student takes helping-hand adventure this summer Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – A Grade 12 student is embarking on an adventure of a lifetime this July, with the hope of changing her life and others.

Victoria Sandre will join 100 others in the Dominican Republic for 10 days this July to build permanent, brick homes for families living in poverty in the village of Sosua near Puerto Plata.

“I’m an active person, so I wanted to something that I was active in other people’s lives.”

VICTORIA SANDRE

The program is called Hero Holiday, run through the Live Different non-profit group which strives to help young people become responsible global citizens. The Hero Holiday program sends groups to the Dominican, Haiti, Mexico and Thailand throughout the year to build houses, schools and children’s homes and bring stability to the communities they visit.

To take part, the nearly-17year-old had to raise $2,500 to foot the bill of her travel

costs, including her flight, hotel and food. Raising that much money can be daunting for just one person, but Sandre took the challenge in stride.

With the help of a family friend, she learned how to make simple but charming greeting cards using scrapbook materials like ribbons and stamps.

“They’re very simple, blank inside. I got the cardmaking bug. It was just so addicting,” she laughed.

She sold them at her church and to family and friends, and managed to raise $700. The rest of the $2,500 was solicited from family and friends who wanted to donate to her project.

Sandre said she was moved to try this program because it offers hands-on experience building the homes.

“On other trips you live with the families but you don’t actually build the homes. But I’m an active person, so I wanted to something that I was active in other people’s lives,” she said.

It’s not the first time Sandre’s taken it upon herself to help others. As a runner, she has volunteered with a number of community and charity races including Ottawa Race Weekend. She has been volunteering at Waupoos Farm rural vacation resort for lowincome families for the past year. She is also involved in several choirs, and mentors the younger members.

However she expects the help she’ll give in the Dominican Republic will be on a whole new scale. Friends and neighbours who have vacationed near Sosua told her they marveled at the gap between poor locals and rich tourists.

“It’s kind of interesting how close it is to other resorts, resorts people vacation at, and yet there’s so much poverty which is right there,” she said. “It’s amazing how little these people have and how much they value what they have.”

Sandre is taking every opportunity to do what she can to help while she’s down there from July 17 to 27. Already she has collected bags of clothes, toys and other items to bring to the community.

“I’m planning to go down and leave with the clothes on my back,” she said.

While there, Sandre will build houses, play with the local children and interact with the families who will benefit from her trip.

Of course, Sandre hopes she will benefit, too.

Between travelling to the Caribbean for the first time and living for two weeks with no one she knows, Sandre hopes it will be a life-changing adventure.

“I think it’s going to make my summer. I guess I’m expecting it to change my life, and I’m hoping that it will.

It’s stuff I like to do. I like helping others,” she said.

Victoria Sandre will spend 10 days building houses in the Dominican Republic this July, as part of the Hero Holiday program.

More knowledge of modern vehicle safety features can benefit Canadians: poll EMC news - Results from a new public opinion poll by the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) show that a majority of Canadian drivers can benefit from more knowledge about the many vehicle safety features rapidly becoming standard on new vehicles across the automotive industry.

The poll looked at familiarity with different safety features, perceptions about

their use, and the effects of these features on driving.

When asked about the types of vehicle safety features currently available on the market including electronic stability control, traction control, electronic brake-force distribution, anti-lock brake systems (ABS), brake assist, brake override, and adaptive headlights, on average, less than one-third of Canadians said that they were aware of

these features.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES

A majority of drivers (80.4 per cent) were familiar with ABS; traction control was second with 53.5% of Canadians saying they know of this technology.

“To some extent, it is not unusual that Canadians have much greater familiarity with ABS as it has been widely

available for almost 30 years, unlike newer technologies such as lane departure warning systems which have only become available in the last 10 years”, said TIRF president Robyn Robertson.

Although knowledge of these safety features seems to be relatively low among Canadians, more than half of those polled agreed that these safety features would be easy to use and that they would use them if their vehicle had them.

This is encouraging as studies have shown that safety features prevent crashes and injuries when used alongside safe driving practices.

“Increased awareness of these features and how they work can also reinforce the message that safety features do not discount the need for drivers to continue to rely on those safe driving behaviours that many first learned well before these safety features became available,” said Robertson.

The poll is the first step in the development of a research-based national education program on vehicle safety features.

The program will use results from the poll along with input from road users to create a program aimed at informing the public of impor-

tant vehicle safety features, their respective benefits, and ways in which the features work in conjunction with safe driving practices in the variable road conditions that Canadian drivers can experience seasonally across Canada.

Numbers are based on a public opinion poll developed and conducted by TIRF. A total of 2,506 Canadians completed the poll between November 2011 and January of 2012.

Results can be considered accurate within plus or minus two per cent, 19 times out of 20.

Ottawa’s first fishing festival coming on July 14 Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC events - Ottawa’s first urban fish festival will encourage everyone, anglers and non-anglers alike, to have a great time casting their rods at Brewer Park.

The Ottawa Fishing Festival will take place on July 14 and 15 during Ontario’s licensefree family fishing week. The festival was created and organized by Manotick resident Dr. Ben Fong, who wanted to share his love for fishing with the rest of the city.

“I used to do a lot of fishing and when I purchased home on the water, I began fishing four times a week,” Fong said. “This festival, it is all about introducing fishing to urban dwellers in Ottawa.”

The festival, Fong said, will also offer the opportunity for children, who normally do not have the chance to learn how to fish, to try out the sport.

Fong, a dentist by day, chose the Old Ottawa South location because the park runs along the Rideau River, but also has a ton of parkland for all the other, non-fishing activities, including inflatable castles, a magician, music from an Elvis impersonator, Dan Elvis Burgess, mariachi band Los Paisanos, dance groups, cooking segments and

CHICKLET

lectures, fish games, martial arts demonstrations and appearances and seminars with Canadian fishing personalities “Big” Jim McLaughlin, Rob Atkinson and Captain Pat. Fishing rod rentals and live bait will be provided for anyone who wishes to try out fishing, which Fong encourages everyone to give a try.

“Fishing is really enjoyable sport, because it is a one-onone sport and you get to have the chance to catch a big fish on the line,” Fong said.

And there will be one fish in particular everyone at the festival will be keeping their eye out for.

Participants will have the chance of catching a tagged “big fish” that will allows them to collect the festival’s top prize of a $15,000 pontoon boat, donated by Laurentian Marine Sales.

The big fish, along with 20 or smaller fish for the children to catch will be tagged and released the night before the festival upstream from the park. Each fish has a prize attached to it.

Fong will be personally catching the fish leading up to the festival, so the fish they are releasing are in familiar water.

The festival is promoting catch and release, but Fong said, once someone has

caught a fish, it is up to them what they would like to do with it.

“Take it home or toss it back, it is all part of the fun,” Fong said.

The festival is also raising money for CHEO’s Angles of Hope, with 10 per cent of every ticket purchase being donated to the cancer foundation.

“I think they are doing a great thing and regardless of how much we make they will get a 10 per cent automatically,” Fong said.

The first festival he has ever organized, Fong said it is all about having fun and the more tickets he sells, the more attractions he will add to the weekend.

Fong has also donated more than $500 worth of tickets to the Ottawa Boys and Girls Club, to get more children to fall in love with his passion.

“It is all about kids. It might be an old cliché, but it is what it is about,” Fong said.

“There are kids that don’t have the opportunity so let’s bring them out and give them that opportunity.”

Fong said it is the least he can do to support the children’s organization and welcomes any other children organizations to contact him for tickets.

Ticket prices are $10 for

Submitted

Dr. Ben Fong picked up a fishing rod, 35 years after he last put one down as a child and is in love again with the sport. Fong, who is organizing Ottawa’s first fishing festival on July 14 and 15 wants to ignite the love for fishing in all Ottawa residents this summer and encourages everyone to come out to the festival. children 6 to 11, teen to adult are $15 and a family pass is $45. Children five and un-

der are free. For more information on the festival, to volunteer or to purchase

tickets, please check out the festival’s website at www. ottawafishingfestival.ca.

Chicklet is a spayed female, black Domestic Mediumhair cat who is just over two years old. She was brought to the shelter as a stray on April 14.

Chicklet loves to cuddle and snuggle in your arms while you rub her chin. She has the most “lovey-dovey” personality and beautiful, piercing eyes.

Angel is a spayed female, white Domestic Shorthair cat who is about four years old. She has been at the shelter since April 28 when she was brought in as a stray.

Angel loves to drink running water... she would love to have her own fountain in her new home.

She has the best purrrrrrr. Once she is comfortable with her surroundings, she turns on the sound.

OWNING A CAT: IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

The overpopulation of cats and the high rate of their abandonment are indications that cats are seen as “disposable” pets by many people. Greater responsibility must be taken by anyone who acquires a cat.

The Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) believes that responsible cat ownership encompasses: UÊÀiÃi>ÀV Ê>L ÕÌÊ>Ê«À ëiVÌ ÛiÊ companion cat before making a decision; UÊ>««À «À >ÌiÊ Õà }]Ê ÕÌÀ Ì Ê and exercise;
