EMC news – Hundreds of Heron Gate residents were mistakenly threatened with eviction last week due to an administrative error.

Many of the tenants said they received notices falsely accusing them of not paying their rent in July.

The new owners of the highrises, Timbercreek Asset Management, admitted there were a large number of inaccurate eviction notices handed out and suspect their rent may have gone to the complex’s previous owner, TransGlobe Property Management Services. “We do know that some of the notices that were sent out were inaccurate and shouldn’t have been served,� said Derek Rider, Timbercreek’s regional manager.

Rider said they spent last week trying to clear up the mess, adding that they owe an apology to everyone that was affected by the mix-up. “We are trying to rectify these issues. We are going into every single account to find out what happened and correcting it, and we have been calling residents individually to let them know that we are apologetic,� he said. “We are beginning to send apology letters today to anybody who improperly received eviction letters.�

Teachers must accept wage freeze: McGuinty Premier hints at broader public sector salary freeze to come Blair Edwards Blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - The Ontario government needs to hit the pause button on teachers’ wage increases if it wants to

maintain jobs and continue to roll out full-day kindergarten, said Premier Dalton McGuinty. “We can’t afford that,� said the premier at a press conference held at St. Luke’s Catholic School in Alta Vista on Friday, Aug. 17.

McGuinty toured St. Luke’s, where the school’s principal showed two classrooms that were being built for the introduction of fullday kindergarten starting this September. “We can’t invest in teacher pay hikes and roll out full-

day kindergarten,� he said. “We can’t invest in teacher pay hikes and keep class sizes down. We can’t invest in teacher pay hikes and maintain jobs for those 13,000 teachers, new teachers that we’ve hired (over the past nine years.)�

The government announced this week it will introduce legislation that will require school boards and teachers unions accept a salary freeze over the next two years and ban any strikes or lockouts.

The premier said his government is considering an early recall of the Ontario leg-

islature to deal with the proposed bill.

He said a vote on the bill will not be a confidence vote, which could trigger a provincial election.

The bill, titled Putting Students First, also calls for: • All teachers must take a 1.5 per cent pay cut in the form of three unpaid professional development days. • Elimination of banked sick days. • Offer 10 days for shortterm sick leave for teachers.

John Redins, who received a letter telling him he had until Aug. 27 to vacate his apartment on 2870 Cedarwood Dr., said the eviction notice was a slap in residents’ face.

Redins, whose rent comes from the Ontario Disability Support Program, said they were stuck in an administrative mess between the new and old owners.

“What happened was that everyone that had direct deposit to the landlord received eviction notices, because on their (Timbercreek) records they have no payment of rent for the month of July,” said Redins.

Timbercreek acquired the building in June and tenants said things have been slowly improving.

EMC news - As part of efforts to better understand what residents of Lowertown would like see regarding the future of the Byward Market, the area’s community association is encouraging residents to weigh in with an online survey.

The Lowertown Community Association released the survey on Aug. 13 as part of its email newsletter. Leading the initiative for the association is the head of its planning committee, Sylvie Grenier.

The survey looks at residential issues and concerns such as safety, convenience, accessibility to transit, cycling infrastructure, parking and traffic. More specific questions regarding the market are also included, tackling issues such as cleanliness, public spaces, heritage, development, safety and noise levels.

On March 13, the city’s planning committee agreed to add a project to the planning depart-

ment’s to-do list aimed at figuring out what the market should become and how it should get there.

The move comes at the urging of Jasna Jennings, executive director of the local merchants’ group, the ByWard Market Business Improvement Area.

During the meeting, Jennings said the dearth of permanent retail in the market negatively impacts the quality of life for its residents.

“It’s very troubling to see the ByWard Market, once the food retail hub of Ottawa, now has less food retail square footage than Somerset West, Chinatown,” Jennings said.

This survey is one of the steps the association has undertaken to aid in this visioning exercise.

A planning consultation is also set to take place on Oct. 15 with Lowertown residents, with the same objective as the survey.

concerns about outstanding work orders for much-needed repairs, cleaning, security, pests and the general negligence of property.

“With the new owners we had started seeing some positive changes and things have been going well until this notice came out,” said Redins.

He praised the move by the new owners to order the inspections of every unit for pest control and that they are still treating every apartment.

“We are very apologetic for residents who received notices that they shouldn’t have,” said Rider, adding that they are launching different initiatives with a goal of engaging residents in a positive way.

“We are trying to make sure we are building relationships with them and the community and working together to make sure we have a positive community,” he said.

Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty visits St. Luke’s Catholic School, where full day kindergarten is being rolled out starting this September. Pictured from left are MPP Yasir Naqvi, MPP Phil McNeely, MPP Bob Chiarelli, St. Luke’s principal Martha Palmer and McGuinty.

Wage freeze will offer $2 billion in savings: McGuinty Continued from page 1

These measures will offer more than $2 billion in savings over the next two years, said McGuinty.

If approved, the legislation would take effect on Sept. 1.

Current teachers and support staff agreements will expire by the end of the month and if they remain unchanged will result in an automatic salary increase, starting Sept. 1.

The wage increases, the sick leave provision and the existing retirement gratuity would cost the province $473 million, according to the Ministry of Education.

The McGuinty government’s proposed bill is largely based on a memorandum of understanding that has already been signed by the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association, said the premier.

Over the past nine years it has been in power, the government has entered into many agreements with teachers unions with no strikes, said McGuinty.

“They were reasonable and

responsible given the economics that prevailed,” he said.

“But these are different times, I think Ontarians recognized that.”

There is much uncertainty in the global economy, said McGuinty and as a consequence Ontario’s economy is growing more slowly than the government would like.

“We can’t afford to give pay hikes to teachers or doctors or nurses or any of the 1.3 million public sector workers,” he said. “Not right now. They’ve all had reasonable, responsible pay hikes over the past nine years.

“These times are a little bit different,” he said. “It really is responsible for us to protect jobs and protect progress, but hit the pause button for a couple of years.”

Lisa McLeod, the Progressive Conservative’s education critic, waited outside St. Luke’s to offer a reaction to the McGuinty government’s bill.

“It’s really difficult to say you’re going to support legislation that isn’t before the

House,” said McLeod, adding that she was notified about the bill by the minister of education only the day before, on Aug. 16.

The Conservatives have been calling for a broader sector wage freeze over the past two years, said McLeod.

“We have some serious reservations of where the economy is going here in Ontario and the other broader public sector: unions and non-unionized staff and the collective agreements coming up. We have about 4,000 more collective agreements that are going to be dealt with in other broader public sector areas.”

McGuinty said he is waiting for input from both opposition party leaders and education critics.

“The NDP are saying there is no way at any time that they will ever support a government initiative that seeks to restrain public sector pay,” he said.

“That’s a non-starter for us.”

McGuinty said the House leader will announce next week when the legislature will resume session.

EMC news - Nineteen-yearold Emily MacDonald hails from a long line of firefighters and wants to be the first female member of the family to join their ranks.

The Hunt Club resident, whose father and both her grandfathers were firefighters, said her father really wants her to be a firefighter, which is why she signed up for the Female Firefighters in Training camp - or Camp FFIT - that ran at the Ottawa Fire Services training division building at 898 Industrial Rd., from Aug.13 to 17.

“My dad has been a firefighter for a long time and I have grown up around this and I would like to try it out,” said MacDonald. “I would be the first girl in my family to be a firefighter.”

More than 20 teenagers had the chance to bang down doors, perform search and rescue operations in the dark, lift ladders and climb up the side of a 11-metre-tall building last week, all while wearing up to 23 kilograms of firefighter gear.

“This is about being able to actually try out what the firefighters do in everyday situations and see if I would actually enjoy doing what they do,” said MacDonald.

The course, now in its third year, is designed to give young women the chance to see what being a firefighter is about.

Organized by the city and Fire Service Women of Ontario, a non-profit association of women in career and volunteer fire departments in Ontario, the camp pushes participants both physically and mentally.

“I like this to help me become a firefighter in the future,” MacDonald said. “That would be my dream job for

Thirteen-year firefighter veteran and one of the first women to become a firefighter in Ottawa, Louise HineSchmidt is the director of Camp FFIT. To her, the importance of this camp for young women is the empowerment they get from participating.

“They come in when they are shy, scared and with no knowledge of what to expect, and when they leave, they realize they can do a lot more than they thought they could,” said Hine-Schmidt.

The camp had a limited number of spaces and for girls to be considered, they had

to fill out an application that asked a number of questions about their intent.

Only 24 got a chance to participate in the program.

While at the camp, the girls get to learn about the basic role of a firefighter.

“They get to try a little bit of everything,” said HineSchmidt.

Hine-Schmidt is one of the 27 full-time female firefighters in Ottawa.

“We do have a lot fewer women firefighters,” she said.

“We don’t have very many women out there as visual role models, so a lot of women don’t consider firefighting

as a career and this is a way to show them this is an opportunity they could perhaps pursue.

“This camp is not about creating new firefighters, or to get girls to a point where they can be firefighters, for me it is about empowering a bunch of 15 to 19-year-old women.”

For 17-year-old Michaela Comba, firefighting is something she has had a keen interest for a while now.

“I personally love to help people and I think this is a great way to do it,” said Comba adding that as a girl she wants to prove to people that she can do the same things as men.

Camp urges kids to become paramedics knowledge in both ways: the community learning more about paramedics and the paramedics learning more about the community,” she said.

The program invites children and youth from various cultural groups to the camp.

Last year, the focus was on inviting Muslim youth to the camp. This year, participants from a local aboriginal group, a Jewish community group and other groups joined individuals and children of paramedics to learn the basics of paramedicine.

From taking a mock 911 call to stabilizing someone with a back injury on a board, participants at the camp said they were surprised how fun the activities were.

“It’s actually really fun. I expected it to not be fun, but it was super fun,” said CJ Baker, a camp participant from Bells Corners.

“We’ve seen a lot of stuff we wouldn’t normally see,” said CJ’s younger sister, Marie Baker, including the inside of an ambulance and the closedoff corners of the Ottawa Paramedic Service headquarters in the Ottawa Business Park off Walkley Road.

Marie and her friends agreed on the best way to describe what paramedics do: “They’re the heroes.”

EMC news - Eric Metat has called on the paramedics 15 times, but on Aug. 16, they called on him.

Metat was one of approximately 20 participants at Paramedic Awareness Week Camp last week.

While his previously involvement with the paramedics resulted from skateboarding accidents, Metat, a Lowertown resident, said he wanted to come to the camp because he might want to become a paramedic when he grows up.

That was good news for Ottawa Paramedic Service superintendant Paul Morneaux, who helps out with the camp.

“We want to reach out to various parts of the community and show them they can consider paramedicine as a career,” Morneaux said.

At the very least, the camp is an opportunity to increase awareness of what paramedics do.

When he started in the service 22 years ago, Morneaux said many people didn’t know what a paramedic was or they were referred to by a detested term: “ambulance driver.”

“But it’s getter better,” Morneaux said. “Everyone seems to know what a police officer is and what a firefight-

Sometimes the word ‘paramedic’ – even that word – some kids don’t even know it. But it’s getting better.”

With every group of children invited to the annual paramedic camp, the more that awareness spreads, says

The paramedic service also benefits from the endeavour, she said.

Time to put a stop to naming carousel

H

uman beings in general attach a lot of significance to names.

Names allow us to organize our world in such a way that we can communicate effectively – when we say words like city hall or rabbit, we are all on the same page.

This applies to most of us. What appears to be the exception, at least in Canada, is the political class, which apparently doesn’t attach the same value to names like the

rest of us.

It seems politicians cannot resist the urge to apply new names to things that already have names.

Last week, the federal government, through the National Capital Commission, decided to rename the Ottawa River Parkway as the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway.

According to the NCC, the name change answers the call of Canadians to “use our sites, our lands and our assets

to tell our Canadian story.”

This announcement, according to Ottawa WestNepean MP John Baird, “is timely as we celebrate 145 years since (Macdonald’s) election as Canada’s first prime minister.”

One cannot help but note that Macdonald was a conservative prime minister. We surely won’t be seeing the Aviation Parkway renamed the Sir Wilfrid Laurier Parkway in 2016, marking 120 years since that former prime

minister was first elected.

But renaming things is not an exercise any of our politicians should be spending their time and our money on – $60,000 in the case of the parkway.

Not only are there numerous things – a bridge, an airport, a school, a historic building – already named after Macdonald in the city, it plays havoc with the way we collectively understand our city.

Most of us who live in

Ottawa will refer to the River Parkway for decades to come. It’s what we know it as, what we’re familiar with. It will cause confusion amongst visitors to our city, who run the risk of being told by a local resident to take the river parkway to get downtown, only to search in vain for a road that has been renamed.

All of this for $60,000, money that could have saved at least one public service job in this city from federal spending cuts.

This is a scenario Ottawa residents are familiar with.

Recently, College Coun.

Rick Chiarelli sought to have

Robertson Road in Bells Corners renamed Lloyd Francis Boulevard – another decision made for political reasons, not practical ones.

Fortunately that proposal was shot down when members of the public caught wind of the plan. When it comes to the federal government and the NCC, the public doesn’t have the same level of influence and we are now stuck with the decision.

Is it not enough that new buildings, roads, bridges and the like are named subject to political whim? Our leaders can do better than to occupy their time playing with our society’s placemarkers.

Stressing out the kids BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

T

he other day, my six-year-old was whining about the cool temperature of the lake following the rain. Normally I try to be empathetic about these things. On this occasion, however, I told him in the nicest possible way to suck it up. When his older brother came along and splashed water over both of us, I just shivered and laughed away the tears of the younger offspring.

Sound mean? Maybe. But this incident of acute stress and others like it may actually serve to make my son a more resilient adult.

According to recent science in physiology, kids that experience stress on a regular basis are better equipped to handle situations that are new, uncertain and out of their control. The key, of course, is to make sure stresses are shortlived, followed by periods of rest and recovery.

Canadian author and former Wall Street trader John Coates summarizes the reasons why in his book, The Hour Between Dog and Wolf: Risk-taking, Gut Feelings and the Biology of Boom and Bust. An economist, Coates is certainly not writing about child-rearing. In fact, the book’s focus is on traders and their role in financial market volatility. But he does a great job of summarizing the science of stress, providing examples that are universally applicable.

The book is a rich study of how our biology plays a role in decision-making. To put it simply, when humans are faced with the unknown, it’s not just our brains, but our bodies that respond, argues Coates. In the process, there is a rich release of hormones that prepare our bodies for movement – a surge of adrenalin, testosterone or glucose, for example. Individu-

als who are genetically and developmentally conditioned to handle stress are more likely to keep this hormonal interplay in balance. Those who aren’t will falter when faced with the slightest uncertainties in life.

Coates cites one study, for example, conducted at the Rockefeller lab in the United States. In the study, rats that were repeatedly exposed to short periods of stress developed a “hardier physiology and an increased immunity to the damaging effects of further stresses.” But it’s a fine balance. For in the same study, rats exposed to chronic stress “came to suffer both physical illness and learned helplessness.”

While Coates acknowledges it may be difficult for individuals to condition themselves to handle stress, he turns to sports medicine for some answers on how we may better prepare ourselves to cope. As physical beings, it really comes down to giving our bodies the opportunity to stretch ourselves physically.

It makes sense then that the easiest way to trigger stress in our bodies is through exercise – forcing our heart rates up, pushing our muscles to their limits and expanding our lung capacity. But Coates also makes an argument for forcing our bodies and brains to tap into our ancient physiological flight-or-fight response by exposing ourselves to extreme temperatures.

Submerging one’s face in cold water, for example, can actually have the effect of slowing our heart rates and in turn calming our bodies and minds to better deal with what’s to come.

So while my “suck-it-up” mentality may have seemed harsh at the time, I take comfort in knowing that allowing my child to experience a harmless incident of stress may contribute to making him an all-around tougher individual.

And as so often happens with children, it was a matter of minutes following the splash incident before my son was frolicking away in the icy lake, the previous moment of acute stress seemingly forgotten. The magic formula of stress-recovery-stress-recovery was complete when he followed his swim by exposing his body to the scorching sun before diving into the icy lake once again.

Macdonald Parkway renaming spurs call for Cartier Parkway Laura Mueller

Giula added that he would like to see the spelling corrected to “MacDonald” instead of “Macdonald,” but he didn’t get his wish. The National Capital Commission spent $60,000 on four gateway signs (located at either entrance to the parkway

at Booth Street, Island Park Drive and at Carling Avenue near Richmond Road) reading “Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway”.

Perhaps the happiest person at the parkway renaming announcement was Westboro resident Bob Plamondon, a

public policy consultant and author. He has led the push to rename a street after Macdonald for more than two years.

“It’s a great day,” he said.

He admitted there were “clear and persuasive arguments” against renaming Wellington Street, but renam-

ing the parkway was the best option. Not only is it a federal road, which strengthens its ties to Macdonald’s federal role, it is also patrolled by the RCMP, which he created.

It was also much easier to accomplish than renaming a city road, Plamondon added.

There are no addresses on the parkway, so the change doesn’t create any complication for businesses or residents.

In contrast to the extensive consultation and public meetings required to rename a city street, federal roads can be renamed on the direction of the minister in charge – in this case, Ottawa-West Nepean MP John Baird, the minister of foreign affairs. The National Capital Commission’s board also endorsed the new name.

Plamondon said there was “massive consultation” through an online petition and Facebook page and through media coverage generated by his op-ed pieces in the Ottawa Citizen.

Macdonald’s name has been applied to a number of public institutions around the city. In addition to the Macdonald-Cartier International Airport and the MacdonaldCartier Bridge, the former Bank of Montreal building at 144 Wellington St. was renamed after Macdonald earlier this year. There is also a Macdonald Street in Ottawa in the Golden Triangle. It runs parallel to Cartier Street.

Cameras on the table for new Para Transpo fleet

ers and other OC Transpo employees will also be consulted.

“This is, I think, a bit unusual,” added David Pepper, OC Transpo’s manager of business and operational services.

“In the old world of public procurement, we would come to you after the bid is out and there and everything is done … Para Transpo came to us and said, ‘We’d actually like to talk to our customers before we even put out the proposal.’”

Ryland and Pepper made a presentation to the city’s accessibility advisory committee on Aug. 15 to let them

know about the consultation and a couple committee members told the men one thing they would likely hear about from Para users: the need for on-board cameras.

The committee met the day after a former Para Transpo driver was sentenced to four years in prison on Aug. 14 after he pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 26year-old passenger who has cerebral palsy last May. “Given that that happened once, I believe Para Transpo should consider strongly putting cameras on their buses,” said advisory committee member Susan Brunet, particularly because many cus-

tomers have communication or mental disabilities that leave them vulnerable to being taken advantage of.

“We hear you on that,” Pepper said.

Another committee member, former chairwoman Catherine Gardner, noted that cameras would also offer protection for drivers.

“I have been on many buses where the clients have also been abusive and I think it’s a two-way street,” Gardner said.

Para Transpo also partners with local taxi companies by offering vouchers for riders to use for a reduced-cost taxi trip.

EMC news - Now that the Ottawa River Parkway has been renamed to honour Canada’s first prime minister Sir John A. Macdonald, one group is calling on the National Capital Commission to “restore the equilibrium” and rename the Rockcliffe Parkway after George-Étienne Cartier.

Immanuel Giulea, founder of the Société MacDonaldCartier Society, said he has been waiting to see if the Macdonald renaming would go through before issuing a call to bestow the same level of honour on the second “father of confederation:” Cartier.

Giula and his group has spearheaded a campaign to block the renaming of Wellington Street to Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard in 2010 based on the historic value and longevity of the Wellington name.

Giula said that while his group recommended renaming the Airport Parkway leading to the Macdonald-Cartier International Airport after the first prime minister would be the best plan to honour Macdonald, applying his name to the Ottawa River Parkways works fine as well.

“We are also hopeful they won’t forget Cartier,” who represented the interests of French Canadians during confederation, said Giula, a Montreal resident.

EMC news - Para Transpo wants to do something new when it buys a new fleet – ask its customers what they want.

Para Transpo provides 519,335 dedicated trips a year using 91 vehicles, a fleet that is nearing the end of its life now that the mini buses are five years old. In 2011 the city committed to spending $13 million to completely replace the fleet.

On Sept. 26, Para Transpo plans to hold two sessions with its customers and key groups representing the interest of riders.

The idea is to have people who use Para Transpo make suggestions on the important things to consider when putting together a request for a new vehicle supplier, said AJ Ryland, program manager of Para Transpo.

The consultations will happen at city hall during the morning and afternoon.

“It’s something we haven’t done before. so we’re really happy and excited about doing it,” Ryland said. “We’re

also hoping that this will sort of lay the groundwork for future consultations with our stakeholders for other initiatives we plan to do from time to time, both with Para Transpo and OC Transpo.”

Normally, OC Transpo would send out an RFP, or request for proposal, to ask manufacturers what they

would be able to provide to Ottawa and at what cost.

Then the transit authority would put together consultations to ask people what they thought about the options.

Through the upcoming sessions, OC Transpo is asking customers what they think first, Ryland said. Operators, mechanics, schedul-

Gees Gees take home games to Beckwith University will offer shuttles to Lanark County Laura Mueller and Marla Shook laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Gee Gees football fans will have to travel 40 minutes west of Ottawa to attend home games for the upcoming season.

Temporarily relocating the varsity team due to construction delays on its home field will give the University of Ottawa a chance to help build up football culture at Beckwith’s “field of dreams,” however, says the university’s assistant athletic director, Colin Timm.

The Lanark County facility is a saviour to the university, which was looking for an alternate field due to delays constructing a new field at its 200 Lees Ave. campus. The field will be the new home for the sports dome formerly located at Lansdowne Park, where the Gees Gees used to play.

But around three weeks ago, the athletic department was told that problems installing a tie down beam would delay the completion of the field, likely until November.

So the team set out to look for a new venue, examining Carleton University, local high schools and municipal facilities.

But when he found out about the Beckwith field, Timm said he was blown away by the “field of dreams.”

Timm said he has driven through the area many times on his way to a family cottage, but he had no idea such a football gem was close by.

“From a sport perspective, it was just like … ‘Wow.’ Whoever did this had vision here,” he said.

Timm said the Beckwith field would even make an excellent practice facility for a CFL team training camp.

For Beckwith Township Reeve Richard Kidd, the move is affirmation that Beckwith Park is “among the best in Ontario.”

“I knew that,” he said, adding it is a nice recognition that a team of this calibre from Ottawa decided to come

MARLA SHOOK/METROLAND

Beckwith’s football booster, Reeve Richard Kidd, stands in his ‘field of dreams’ 40 minutes west of Ottawa. The field will be the temporary home for the University of Ottawa Gee Gees football team this fall. to Lanark County despite looking at other facilities in the city.

That recognition will surely have economic development spin offs, he noted.

Even though it is a longer drive and not in the city the university represents, Beckwith is the best place for home games, Timm said. It’s not too far, the facility is top notch and it has everything the team needs, from appropriately sized change rooms and wireless Internet and ample parking.

The bleachers seat about 500 people now and Ottawa U will expand that to 1,500 with temporary bleachers.

The university already ran

shuttles to take students and fans from the university’s sports complex at 801 King Edward Ave. to Lansdowne Park, and the university will continue to offer shuttles for the longer journey to Beckwith.

Timm is hoping fans are diehard enough to make the trek, which realistically won’t be too much longer than the 20 minutes it takes to get to Lansdowne Park. While local fans will no longer be able to walk to games, Timm said he is hoping that they will be excited to see a different part of the region and to take in football in a new setting.

The hospitality from Beckwith officials such as Reeve

Richard Kidd has already been tremendous, Timm said, and he is looking forward to working with the township to stir up football fever.

From barbecues to offering fundraising opportunities, ticket packages and donations to the community, Timm said the University of Ottawa wants to do what it can to help Beckwith become a true football town.

“I think the biggest thing for them is they are getting top-quality Canadian football on a field (where) they have never had it before,” Timm said.

“I understand how sport plays a role in rural communities … That’s what is really

exciting about this site that may not have presented itself in other areas of the city.”

The home opener is set for Sept. 15, beginning at 1 p.m.

The Gee-Gees host the defending Vanier Cup champions from McMaster as the start of a strong home schedule which will also include the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks, the Waterloo Warriors and the Western Mustangs.

A complete schedule and ticket information is available on geegees.ca. In the meantime, football fanatics can get a bit of a fix on Monday, Aug. 27 when Gee-Gees will feature a training camp practice.

There will be a representative from the Breast Cancer Foundation attending the event with an information booth.

It won’t be a typical fashion show with a runway. Instead, guests will be able to stand at cocktail tables while the models – dressed in casual to formal and some bridal dresses –circulate throughout.

Light appetizers will be served and there will be a cash bar available.

As well as the fashion show, the event has been successful in receiving donations for the silent auction table mostly from Orléans businesses, with items ranging from designer handbags to Ottawa Senators tickets.

While the dress code is casual, attendees are encouraged to wear pink if possible, and those who do will be entered into a draw for door prizes.

Olympic silver medalist Elizabeth Manley will be mas-

Manley has been a public supporter of the fight against cancer since her mother passed away from ovarian cancer.

Tickets for the event are available at Ezcape Spa and Salon at 900 Watters Rd., Marka Fashion Boutique at 2160 St. Joseph Blvd. and Select Bloom at 1675 Tenth Line Rd. for $25. They will be available for purchase at the door the evening of the event for $30.

Elmvale Acres author raising money to publish book online Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – A first-time author has launched a fundraising campaign to publish her new novel online.

Elmvale Acres resident Courtney Symons has written her first novel, Once, We Were Stolen, a contemporary tale of a brother and sister who live with their kidnapper for a year.

Symons plans to publish her novel as an ebook, with the hope of eventually printing hard copies.

The story moves back and forth in time with events before, during and after the kidnapping, showing how the lives of the three main characters are forever changed or, in some cases, remain the same, said Symons.

Symons launched a project on the website Indiegogo, with a fundraising goal of $2,000, which will go toward publishing the novel.

“I really wanted to self publish my book and I don’t have a publisher in my corner right now, I figured fundraising

might be a great way not only to raise money but also raise awareness and let people know that I have written this book and I am publishing it,” said Symons.

According to Symons, the campaign will help her to give this book some wings.

She decided to take the self publishing route because she hasn’t written a novel before and has no agent representing her at the moment.

“It is just very hard to find someone that will be willing to take a chance on a first-time author and that has been difficult,” said Symons.

“I decided for my first novel, I will just give it a go myself and I figured the best way for me to go about that would be to publish an ebook..”

Symons, who also is a journalist for the Ottawa Business Journal, said she has been writing ever since she was a little girl.

The inspiration for the book, she said, came one day while living in Australia in 2010 where she began writing her novel and has been editing it

ever since.

Now Symons says she is nearly ready to publish.

“I had a dream one night and that is how the idea came to me,” said Symons, adding that she is confident that, with some help, she can produce a book worth reading.

“I have a story I really want to share and I feel strongly about,” she said.

Symons has already surpassed her campaign goal.

“Things are going really well. It feels good especially since the campaign was originally supposed to be 47 days long and I achieved my goal within four days,” said Symons.

She said it happened a lot faster than she was expecting.

“My family and friends came out and supported me so much stronger than I anticipated,” Symons added.

Now that she has achieved more than her goal, Symons said she has revised her plan to include some printed versions of the book.

For Symons, the result of her campaign will be a pub-

Carleton University photography exhibit explores identity EMC entertainment - A new exhibition at the Carleton University Art Gallery featuring photography by a Vanier artist explores the meaning of identity.

Cara Tierney’s Go Forth and Multiply opens on Aug. 27.

This exhibition takes a look at self-identity as a fluid concept and challenges in society. The purpose of this show, Tierney said, is to allow the audience to create their own interpretation and understanding of what personal identity is.

“Looking at identity and the definition the identity is idealistic,” Tierney said. “I found

it is not a singular thing, but something with multiple layers.”

All the photographs feature multiple images of Tierney, stitched together in a variety of ways.

“The fact that I’m multiplying myself is I’m trying to make up for the omission of all the queer people who haven’t

Cara Tierney’s exhibit Go Forth and Multiply will open at the Carleton University Art Gallery on Aug. 27.

had their time in the sun,” the photographer said.

This exhibition is the end result of Tierney’s masters studies in fine arts at the University of Ottawa. Through two years of research, Tierney found discovering the definition of what identity truly means incredibly interesting and complicated.

The project’s backbone, the artist explained, came from personal experiences.

“When I came out, I had a real hard time identifying with the word lesbian,” Tierney said. “I identify as queer - the word is fluid, it is accepting, people can be diverse and different which leaves me open to be anything I want.”

Tierney said being queer is not about a gender, unlike the connotation that is attached to the term lesbian. The artist described the word queer as an umbrella term, a one-sizedfits-all which Tierney feels comfortable fitting into.

That is what the exhibition is all about, Tierney explained, taking identity and throwing

it out the window and letting people be anything they want to be.

Used to performing on stage and receiving the immediate reaction of an audience, Tierney said taking another form of exhibition, one which leaves reaction and praise at a distance, is proving to be a bit hard, but something the artist is looking forward to all the same.

“For me to have this photo show at Carleton is amazing,” Tierney said.

The artist is also not going to stop with one show, however. Tierney plans to both stay behind the camera and take to the stage again in the future.

“I plan on sticking with this artist thing, applying for grants and making it be a 24-7 job for me.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not nervous.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to sing knowing that there is someone that loves you in the audience.â&#x20AC;?

JOYCE EL-KHOURY

Since that moment, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s felt comfortable in the spotlight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was terriďŹ ed and was shaking, but I wanted to sing, and just went up and sang and

it was like ripping off a BandAid and now here I am here I am.â&#x20AC;?

After graduating from the University of Ottawa in 2005 and completing Opera Lyraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio artist program, the ambitious singer went on to attend the Academy of Vocal Arts in Philadelphia.

After graduation from that program, El-Khoury moved to New York to attend the Metropolitan Operaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lindemann young artist development program.

Since graduating from the Metropolitan program in 2011, she has been on the road, performing all over the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel so lucky to do what I do, to be honest,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being on the road and not having a stable kind of home every four to six weeks can be a hard place, but I am so happy and so grateful to get to do what I do that I am willing to make that sacriďŹ ce.â&#x20AC;?

After all the travelling, ElKhoury said performing in her hometown, on her old stage , is a whole new story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I have about 30 family members and my church family coming, it is like my own fan club,â&#x20AC;? ElKhoury said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I kind of grew up at the NAC, with my ďŹ rst performance in an opera on this stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The minute I walked into the building, nothing has changed and I felt at home.â&#x20AC;?

In addition to familiarity

and family, El-Khoury will be singing with her best friend, Michael Fabiano, who will be playing Rodolfo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are basically inseparable, it is going to be so much fun,â&#x20AC;? she said.

A big fan of poutine, ElKhoury plans on letting her American friend have his ďŹ rst taste of the Canadian dish while showing him around the city.

La Bohème was written by Giacomo Puccini in 1896 and tells the tale of bittersweet love.

The new general director of Opera Lyra, John Peter Jeffries, admitted this particular opera may be his favourite.

EMC entertainment - Opera singer Joyce El-Khouryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for opera began while sitting in the audience at the National Arts Centre as a teenager.

Since that moment, the young singer has traveled the globe in pursuit of her dream of becoming a performer, a pursuit that has led her home to Ottawa.

La Bohème will be the start of Opera Lyraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 28th season at the NAC in September and El-Khoury will be playing the lead role of Mimi.

This opera was actually the very ďŹ rst opera she saw as a young Ottawa University student in 2002.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ďŹ rst opera I ever saw in full was La Bohème in 2002,â&#x20AC;? El-Khoury said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went for my birthday and I remember sitting in the NAC and watching the show and thinking I would love to do this one day and here I am doing the opera I wanted, the ďŹ rst one I ever saw, and in the lead role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives me goose bumps just thinking about it.â&#x20AC;?

The Elmvale native is very excited about performing in her home town and having a chance to catch up with family and friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not nervous,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is nice to sing knowing that there is someone that loves you in the audience.â&#x20AC;?

Canada’s top fiddlers to compete at Shenkman centre Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

SUBMITTED

Ottawa native Joyce El-Khoury has returned to Ottawa to perform in Opera Lyra’s rendition of La Bohème starting on Sept. 8.

La Bohème starts Opera Lyra season Continued from page 12

It seems to evoke emotion from him every time he sees it performed, even after 30 years in the business.

“It is romantic and full of tragedy,” he said. “It is about young love and loss. It is a great evening at the opera.”

El-Khoury said she draws from her own life experiences when it comes to working in her characters.

“The tricky thing, some-

times, can be to feel the emotion on the stage, it is not my job to feel the emotion, it is my job to make the audience feel the emotion. I prepare by relating my character to myself.”

The opera’s first performance will take place on Sept.

8, with subsequent shows on Sept. 10, 12 and 15. Tickets are currently on sale through Opera Lyra’s website at www. operalyra.ca.

EMC entertainment - Shenkman Arts Centre will be filled with the best jigs, reels and waltzes Canadian fiddlers have to offer on Aug. 25.

The Canadian Grand Masters fiddling competition and show will come to Shenkman, with daytime preliminaries beginning at noon.

The top 11 fiddlers will advance to the evening final, and whoever wins will be named this year’s grand master.

“It’s a great event that we have here, and we’re lucky to have it here in Orléans,” said Grand Masters Association vice-president Ron Bourque.

“It’s an excellent venue.”

The event hosts 25 to 30 of Canada’s top fiddlers, there by invitation only, who are competing for cash prizes and the grand master title.

“It’s basically the best of the best,” Bourque said. “It’s a prestigious event; it’s quite something when you win.”

Though it’s the cream of the crop, he said that it can be anyone’s game when competition day arrives.

“Everybody has a fair and equal chance,” he said. “You have to have talent but it all depends how it goes that day.”

Competitors are required to play a waltz, jig, reel and a choice selection in their allo-

cated five minutes.

“Anyone that really enjoys old-time fiddle music, they don’t want to miss the afternoon,” said Bourque.

In the evening, the competitors will again have five minutes, but have more choice in what they play. The evening requires four contrasting tunes, allowing more variety in the types of music played.

There are going to be other performances besides the competition, including a junior showcase and special guest performer Calvin Vollrath.

In past years, Vollrath has been a judge and has competed internationally, representing Canada. The event, which was held at Centrepointe Theatre in Nepean before the switch was made to the Shenkman Arts Centre, usually sells out for the evening show.

Prior to the competition a showcase and dance will be held on Aug. 24 at the Quality Inn in Orléans. Beginning at 6:30 p.m., the showcase will highlight music from performers’ home provinces.

Preliminary round tickets are $25, with finals costing $38. The cost for both shows combined is $48. Tickets for the Friday evening showcase can be purchased at the door for $15. Tickets can be purchased at Shenkman Arts Centre or at www.canadiangrandmasters.ca.

Ottawa Paralympian goes to London with head held high Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC sports – Riverside Park resident Tony Walby could be one of the most decorated judo athletes in Canada, but the 39-year old says he isn’t done yet.

The visually-impaired athlete hopes to add a Paralympic medal to his long list of accomplishments.

Last week, Walby travelled to London, England, to compete in judo’s heavyweight division at the 2012 Paralympic Games.

“I am so excited about going to London. It is going to be a blast,” said Walby who was accompanied on the trip by his immediate family members and his 14-week-old daughter, Eva. “Every judo competitor dreams of going to the games.”

Walby was one of three first-time Paralympians sent to the Games by Judo Canada, and they all share the hope of making it to the podium.

“It makes me feel proud that I am going to compete for Canada. I am excited. It is very surreal,” said Walby.

Walby suffers from cone dystrophy, a degenerative retinal disorder, which caused his sight to begin deteriorating in his early 20s.

Waldo was introduced to

the sport of Judo in 1980, when he was a Grade 3 student.

After taking an introductory class, Walby said he was hooked on the sport.

“When I joined an afterschool judo program I never left,” he said.

VETERAN

For 16 years, Walby was a member of the national ablebodied judo team, until he retired in 2008 having earned the title of national heavyweight champion – around the same time he was declared legally blind.

“Everyone that was on the podium that day were 22 years and younger. I was a good 14 years older than everyone on the division was.

It felt good to win that title,” said Walby, adding that winning the championship was his “best moment.”

Two years after retiring as an able-bodied athlete, Walby said he learned from Judo Canada that his visual impairment qualified him to compete in the Paralympics.

“My first judo championship as a visually-impaired fighter was the 2010 Parapan American Games and I took gold in heavy weight and gold in the open weight beating number three in the world in the division below me,” said

Walby.

After London, Walby said he plans to retire and possibly take on a coaching position with hopes to further develop the sport among the visually impaired.

Every judo competitor dreams of going to the games.

TONY WALBY

It is nice that I get this shot to go to London, since I plan to retire yet again. It is a good way to end my career,” said Walby.

He said the close to 20 years he has been on the national team has left his body pretty beaten up.

“When I come home from London I am scheduled to have surgery on my shoulder to repair it,” he said.

Walby said he wants concentrate on coaching and his family.

“I have a 14-week old baby and a wife whose patience is starting to dwindle with my judo,” he joked.

“It is going to be a good progression for me – from a competitor back to coaching.”

A member of the Takahashi Martial Arts School, Walby’s first fight is on Sept. 1 at 6 a.m.

Parents can visit department store Web sites to find great deals on back to school clothing for their kids.

The back to school season can be bittersweet. Parents may miss having their youngsters around the house when summer officially ends, but it’s also fun for parents to watch kids partake in all that school has to offer.

One of the things few parents look forward come the end of summer vacation is back-to-school shopping.

Such shopping can be costly, especially when it’s time to outfit kids with new ward-

robes. While a complete wardrobe overhaul might not be necessary, kids typically need to replace a few items they’ve outgrown since the start of summer break. There are several ways parents can save on back-to-school clothes. * Get a head start. Parents can save themselves some money by shopping early for their children’s back-toschool wardrobes. Though kids may experience a growth spurt during the

especially for those parents who wait until the last minute and simply buy the first things they see. Establish a budget, ideally several weeks before your child’s first day of school. Having a budget in place reduces the likelihood that you will overspend, and developing the budget early helps you spread out your spending. * Shop at consignment stores.

Consignment stores offer name-brand clothing at discounted prices, something parents of ever-growing youngsters can appreciate.

Kids will like the namebrand gear, while Moms and Dads will enjoying not having to pay nameb r a n d prices.

A consignment store with significant inventory might sell anything from blue jeans and T-shirts to sneakers, shoes and jackets. * Swap clothes with other families. Clothing swaps between families have grown increasingly popular as more and more parents look to save money on rising clothing costs for their kids. Typically, families will swap clothes, including jackets, if their kids are similar in age and one youngster has outgrown his or her clothes. If you can’t find a family to swap with, visit your local community center or church to see if it has a clothing swap program.

* Shop discount stores. If the local consignment store has already been raided, consider a discount store like Marshalls or TJ Maxx. These stores typically sell items at heavily discounted prices and often have similar inventories to mall department stores. * Shop online. A relatively new way for parents to save on back to school clothing is to shop online. A popular store’s Web site might offer discounts that their brickand-mortar store does not.

Parents can also scour a host of coupon Web sites to find special codes they can use at checkout. These codes might offer free shipping or a percentage off the bill when consumers spend a certain amount of money.

summer, shop for items, like socks, that they aren’t likely to grow out of before the back-to-school season begins. This affords you time to comparison shop and spread out the cost of replacing your child’s wardrobe instead of being hit with one big bill all at once. * Establish a budget. Without a budget, it’s easy for parents to overspend on back-to-school clothing,

"UUFOUJPO BACK-to-SCHOOL 'BMM 3FHJTUSBUJPO How to make healthy school lunches for kids container. There are many different new and innovative lunch containers that can make separating school lunches easy. Few kids want to dig into a brown paper sack and pull out something that has been so squashed it’s unrecognizable. Partitioned lunch boxes enable you to pack different items together where they can be stored separately.

The divisions also help you remember to include foods from the basic food groups, such as a fruit, vegetable, protein, starch and dairy item. * Have your child make a

list of his or her favorite foods.

Once the list has been made, see how you can make the foods healthier. For example, if chicken nuggets make the list, prepare your own nuggets with white meat chunks that are baked, not fried. If there are a number of bread items, see if you can substitute whole grain breads instead of white, bleached varieties. * Get creative. Children may not be inclined to eat loose pieces of fruit. But if the fruit is stuck on skewers or served with a low-fat dipping sauce or caramel, it may

mix fruits and vegetables into desserts to increase nutritive value. Everything from spinach to tofu to beets have been included in items like cake, cookies and brownies. So if kids are reticent to dig into their greens, try a clever hiding method. * Cut foods into fun shapes.

Kids may be more inclined to

Confrontations focusing on diet between children and parents have been around seemingly since the beginning of time. Many children start off as cooperative eaters, anxious to try different types of foods.

As they get older, the number of foods they’re apt to eat diminishes, which can make choosing healthy items for lunches and dinners more difficult. It also can make packing lunches for school more challenging.

Many initiatives have attempted to improve the quality of school lunches provided by school cafeterias. Government regulations to reduce the amount of fat and sodium in these lunches, and to introduce more whole grains, fruits and vegetables, are one such initiative. Parents of students who prefer to bring their own lunches from home may be left wondering how they can create healthy lunches their kids will eat.

Considering school lunches must compete with far less healthy yet widely available alternatives, parents will need to be creative in their creation of homemade lunches. Here are some ideas to get you started. * Purchase a new lunch

look more appealing. Look to “mini” foods, which tend to be more fun as well. Little sandwiches and little burgers may present an optical illusion, where kids think they’re eating only a small amount, but actually it’s a full serving. * Hide healthy foods within others. There are entire recipe books that teach you how to

Ottawa students take part in Arctic adventure Returning home, Ice Arctic Youth Expedition teens vow to spread their knowledge to their peers Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Imagine being so close to a polar bear, it is possible to rub its big white belly or climbing over sea ice in the middle of the summer.

Imagine learning all about the Arctic in the Arctic.

For three Ottawa students, none of this required their imagination as they had the

opportunity to participate in an Arctic expedition which each of them credit with changing the way they see life on Earth and the fragile nature of the environment.

The Students on Ice Arctic Youth Expedition departed from Ottawa on July 30 with 75 students from eight different countries and returned to the Canadian Museum of Nature on Aug. 13 to take part in

a welcome home event.

Although most were a tad tired, many of the students could not find the words to describe what they had experienced.

“I sometimes think that I live in a bubble and I wanted to lean about what is beyond the bubble,” said Michela Panarella, a student from Orléans.

“From this trip, I have learned just how big this world is and

the impact we can have on it.”

The program began in 2001, founded by Geoff Green, a Canadian environmentalist. Through funding from the Canadian Museum of Nature, there have been 12 expeditions to date.

The museum sent three scientists on the expedition and Margaret Beckel, the museum’s president, also had the opportunity to spend some

time with the students in Iqaluit before they embarked on the sea expedition portion of the journey.

“Although I did not make it on the ship, my experiences with the students were incredible,” Beckel said.

The museum attributes the partnership with Students on Ice as one of the examples of the museum’s dedication to the Arctic.

“We really truly believe that understanding the Arctic is critical to understanding our place here,” Beckel said.

Green, a veteran of 80 Antarctic expeditions and 36 Arctic expeditions started the program to offer students a chance to connect with nature, understand the importance and complexities of the Arctic and have a larger understanding of their individual roles back in their own communities.

For Crystal Beach siblings Sam and Yasmine Anderson, the experience has left them almost speechless.

Sam, 16, the student trustee for the Ottawa Carleton District School Board, will bring what he learned back to his fellow students.

“It will be hard to make

people understand what you went through and I don’t want to be like a professor, but it is important to illustrate the awe I felt and hope it will convey to the students,” he said.

Yasmine, 14, said she wants to bring a similar message to younger students.

Both said the trip has made a huge impact in their lives.

Since the program’s inception, it has taken more than 2,000 students, teachers and scientists to the Arctic, but this year’s trip almost was cancelled because of excessive sea ice in the Iqaluit harbour, preventing access to the ship.

After a two-day delay, a special request to the Canadian Coast Guard was granted.

The Coast Guard ferried the group to their ship, and Green said he was almost brought to tears by the generosity offered to his expedition.

“I don’t know what we would have done,” Green said.

Once on board, the students experienced an Arctic swim, the opportunity to visit remote Inuit communities and a voyage across the Davis Strait to visit and explore Greenland.

y brother Emerson had a way of getting me to do his bidding.

Unless I was really on my toes, I often paid dearly for not doing exactly what he wanted. But that hot summer day, when all the chores had been done in the barns, my three brothers were attempting to play ball on the ďŹ&#x201A;at piece of barnyard behind the silo. With only three of them, there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much chance of a very good game.

Emerson wandered over to where I was sitting in the grape arbour with my dolls spread out around me. The shade of the vines made a nice cool spot for me to spend an hour or so at my favourite pastime: playing house or school with my beloved dolls. They came in all shapes and sizes, some with soft rag-stuffed bodies, one with a beautiful china face, a couple showing their age and missing a part, but all dear to me.

Emerson sidled closer and I knew what he wanted. He wanted me to head over to the silo and play ball. Well, not really play. What he wanted was me to run and catch the ball when one of them batted it out beyond the yard. Well, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t having any part of a game in which I would never be allowed an even role â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories forget that I could never hit the ball in the ďŹ rst place. It was the very idea that I was just to be there for their convenience and I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t having any part of it. I turned him down ďŹ&#x201A;at.

Emerson stomped away to where Everett and Earl were waiting to see if I could be talked into being their fall guy. Well, they had another thing coming. To make sure they knew I meant business, I decided to have a tea party with my dolls.

I propped them all up in a sitting position and headed into the house to bring out my little set of tin dishes. I decided I might as well make a little lunch while I was at it and so stopped long enough to butter a slice of bread, cut it into small pieces and headed back out to the grape arbour.

What I saw when I returned turned my blood to ice water - there was just an empty space where I had left my dolls. I knew without looking that three sets of eyes would

be turned in my direction.

I ďŹ&#x201A;ew into a rage and cleared the rail fence in one leap. Of course, the three brothers denied everything, but a dead giveaway was when Emerson said if I played ball for a bit, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tell me where they were.

Well, when he saw I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interest in that deal and was heading into the house to tell Mother, he pointed towards the sand box, which was gravel from our pit Father had brought up on the stone boat for me to play in.

There buried in the sand, all in a row like little soldiers, Emerson had buried every doll right up to its neck with just the heads sticking out of the sand. I clawed until I got them all out. It must have taken me an hour to wash them clean of the sand and grit.

I ran into the house to tell Mother what my brother had done. I was pretty sure Everett and Earl would have had no part in the deed. Mother said it was too hot to sort out my problems with my brothers

and besides, she said, I knew what she thought of tattlers.

That meant unless you actually showed signs of being physically wounded with blood running from your nose, she wanted no part of our childhood battles.

So I would be left to my own devices when it came to dealing with Emerson. I plotted in earnest how I could best get rid of him without showing signs that I had done it. Poison was an option, but I had no idea what a poison was or if we had any on the farm. But I realized I was no match for my big strapping brother.

I would just have to protect my dolls as best I could. That night, I did as I always did before I went upstairs to bed. I put them in the parlour where they slept every night, telling each and every one of them they were safe there.

But after I went to bed and my sister Audrey had blown out the lamp, I lay perfectly still until I was sure she was asleep beside me. Then I crept downstairs. I had to make two trips, but I carried every last doll upstairs and put them under my bed where I knew they would be safe.

I ďŹ nally fell asleep, still plotting how I was going to deal with Emerson and make him pay dearly for his dastardly deed.

Sausage, spaghetti a winning combination

T

his casserole is a good example of how to make a change in a recipe and end up with a dish that tastes just as good, if not better, than the original.

The original version of this was called turkey tetrazzini for obvious reasons. It was perfect for using up the leftovers at Christmas and we really enjoyed it. The problem, of course, is that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always have turkey on hand.

So I tried making it with chicken. That version was good, but required cooking the chicken ďŹ rst. That was all right, unless I came home from work too tired to bother.

Next I tried making it with tuna which can often be substituted for chicken, particularly in casseroles. That was quick and simple and became a regular supper casserole at our table.

Recently I tried yet another variation. I had bought a package of bulk sausage for another recipe. Because sausage is so rich, I planned to use only half of the package in that casserole.

Since bulk sausage only comes frozen, having thawed it, I had to use it up. So this time I made the ever-changing tetrazzini casserole with

I ďŹ nally realized the reason this casserole always tastes so good, no matter what I use, is the sauce that goes in it.

Made with mushrooms, onion, mushroom soup, cheese and Worcestershire sauce, it has a delicious and distinctive ďŹ&#x201A;avour, due largely to the Worcestershire sauce.

This casserole also calls for cooked spaghetti, which makes it a ďŹ lling, delicious dish for a family meal, potluck supper or company dinner.

The version I give here describes how to make it with sausage. If you prefer, substitute one to two cups of cooked, cut-up turkey or chicken, or one can of tuna.

Ottawa Catholic School Board fined for role in death of student Director hopes fining will bring closure to the family, school community EMC news - Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic school board was ďŹ ned $275,000 for being responsible for an explosion that killed Mother Teresa High School student Eric Leighton in May 2011.

Julian Hanlon, director of education for the board, said a decision was made at the outset to save the community the burden of a trial, so the ďŹ ne â&#x20AC;&#x201C; imposed by justice of the peace Claudette Coulas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was the result of an agreed statement of facts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always knew a ďŹ ne would be attached,â&#x20AC;? Hanlon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We said all along that we

hold responsibility. Parents send their kids to our school and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our responsibility to keep them safe.â&#x20AC;?

Eric Leighton was cutting into a steel barrel with a hand grinder when the barrel exploded, killing him and injuring several others.

A Ministry of Labour investigation found the barrel had been washed out with a ďŹ&#x201A;ammable cleaner. The barrel had been stored with its caps closed prior to the class project, allowing ďŹ&#x201A;ammable vapours to accumulate inside the barrel. During cutting a spark from the grinder ignited the vapours, causing the explosion.

The investigation also found

that the school board did not have adequate review and assessment procedures in place to ensure work on drums or containers could be carried out safely.

The board pleaded guilty to failing, as an employer, to provide information, instruction and supervision to the teacher concerning safe work practices and recognition of the hazards associated with the class project.

The board is also responsible for paying a 25 per cent victim surcharge, required under the Provincial Offences Act, bringing the total amount owed to $343,750.

Hanlon said the board has

modiďŹ ed some of their safety procedures since the explosion, especially those in relation to hot cutting.

In the ďŹ rst semester of the 2011-12 school year, Mother Teresa didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer shop class.

Hanlon said he believes the class resumed in the ďŹ nal semester and if not, it would be offered during the coming school year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The teacher has not returned to work but we have other qualiďŹ ed staff that could run the course,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Hanlon said he hoped the settlement would bring some closure to Leightonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and the school community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a tragedy and I feel for the family,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Julian Hanlon, the director of education for the Ottawa Catholic School Board said he hoped the $275,000 the board was fined for the explosion that killed Mother Teresa High School student Eric Leighton would bring some closure to the school community and the family.

Charity clothing swap planned for Vanier community Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC community - A Vanier businessman is asking the community to participate in a charity clothing swap at the Therien Jiu-Jitsu & Kickboxing on Sept. 2.

For organizer Derek Marcotte, owner of Therien and the adjacent Black Irish Pub, the goal is to collect as many gently used items of clothing from the community for the exchange.

“This is for the community,” he said. “The goal is to have some fun and get some new clothes just in time for school.”

Marcotte is accepting donations at either business location, but people are encouraged to bring clothing for the swap on the day of the event as well.

The way the swap will work

is if a participant brings four items of clothing, they would be able to take four items home, Marcotte explained. If anyone wishes to take a pile of clothes home, all extra items will be for sale for $3, with any proceeds generated going to charity.

Marcotte said as a business owner in the community, he is holding this event as a means to become more involved in the neighbourhood and to help out area families.

“I want this to be about the kids and their parents,” Marcotte said. “Let’s swap some clothes and what is left over, lets give it to people who need it.”

It will cost $7 to participate in the clothing swap, which Marcotte said will pay for staff and a glass of wine, courtesy of the pub.

Marcotte has only been to

one other clothing swap, but it was enough to spark the desire to hold one in his own neighbourhood.

“It is new to me, but I think it is a very popular idea and a great way to get some new clothes,” he said.

Left over clothing and any money collected on the day will be donated to schools in the Vanier area.

“I have heard that local schools in the area have held clothing drives before and I want to help,” Marcotte said.

The swapping begins at 11 a.m. at Therien Jiu-Jitsu & Kickboxing, 21 Selkirk St. at the Eastview Shopping Centre.

Gently used clothing, but no undergarments, can be dropped off any time leading up to the event at Therien or at the Black Irish Pub, located at 15 Selkirk St, which is also in the Eastview Shopping Centre.

Market contest calling on all photographers Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC community - Organizers for the Main Farmers’ Market photography challenge want all of Ottawa to know there is still time to snap a few pictures for charity.

The photography challenge began in the summer of 2011 as part of an effort to promote Old Ottawa East’s farmers’ market. The idea is for participants to take photos of the market, from fruit to vendors to patrons, with the goal of capturing the character of the market.

In its inaugural year, cocreator Tanis Browning-Shelp found those few who participated did an excellent job at showcasing the market and is looking forward to seeing more participants this year.

“My job as one of the coordinators is to inspire community participation and I want people to know there is still time for people to get out and take a picture,” she said. “All you need to submit one photograph, or as many as you want.

The importance is that all the photographs, we would love to capture the spirit of the market.”

All the photographs will be placed in a silent auction at the Green Door Restaurant located on Main Street in an effort to raise money for a local com-

SUBMITTED

An example of a photograph submitted as part of the Main Farmers’ Market contest was on display at the Green Door Restaurant at 198 Main St. following last year’s challenge. The photos were auctioned off to help raise money for a local park project. Organizers are encouraging residents to join in this year’s challenge, which ends on Nov.15. munity need. According to Browning-Shelp the contest is a brand new form of community fundraising.

Last year, the challenge raised $700 at the auction, donating the proceeds to the Springhurst Park Revitalization project. The local charity has not been named at this point, but Browning-Shelp assured the money would benefit an Old Ottawa East community project.

“This is a community initiative, and the money will remain local,” Browning-Shelp said. “Although we don’t know

who the recipient will be for money made at the auction take a photograph, submit it to the contest and then that photo gets sold through the auction.

“It would be great if people thought of this contest as a different way to donate in the community. It is a way of giving back to the community.”

Eager photographers need not live in the neighbourhood and the organizers would like to see people from across the city take a shot at the contest.

“People from all over the city came to the Green Door and bid on the photographs, so

it is more than just about our community, it is for all of the city to both enjoy the market and participate in the contest,” she said.

The market runs until Oct. 27, so as Browning-Shelp sees it, people have more than two months to take some great pictures.

“We are appealing to everyone who goes to the market to take photographs and submit them for an exhibition.”

Rob Farmer, owner of the Green Door restaurant, has once again offered up his restaurant for photographers to

drop off their submissions.

The restaurant will also exhibit the photos for the silent auction again in May. Donations for the prizes also come within the community.

Browning-Shelp said this contest is all about community spirit.

Since the contest began in May, organizers have noticed more people coming out to the market, cameras in hand and as one of the organizers, Browning-Shelp said she is excited for what people may be producing for their submission.

“The idea is for people to

capture the main farmers market in all its glory,” she said.

“We would love to see it from strawberries to the pumpkins and everything in between. But most importantly, it is about having fun.”

Submitted photos must be at least eight-by-10-inches in size and must be either framed or mounted. The challenge is open to photographers of all ages and Browning-Shelp encourages anyone with a camera to give the contest a shot.

She said she simply can not wait to see what all those who have been snapping all season long have produced for the contest.

“It takes some effort to enter this contest and we were really happy to see the amount of participation,” BrowningShelp said.

There are two categories, adults and children. Prizes will be handed out before the start of the 2013 market season in May. The deadline for the contest is Nov. 15.

The Main Farmer’s Market opened on May 5 and runs until Oct. 27, taking place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday.

All the products are from local producers, from within a 160kilometre (100 miles) radius and everything is organic and traditionally grown produce.

The market also has a number of children activities during the day.

LINK

ID#A143073

ID#A144532

Beebee is a spayed female, brown tabby Domestic Shorthair cat who is about seven years old. She was brought to the shelter as a stray on May 5 and is now available for adoption. Beebee loves to curl up in the sunshine and watch the world go by. She has a quiet personality and gets along well with pretty much anyone. She is past her feisty kitten years and would rather not live in a busy and bustling home. Beebee needs a quiet loving home where she can enjoy her adult and retirement years receiving love and attention curled up on your lap.

Link is an unaltered male, black and cream American Shorthair guinea pig who is just over a year old. He was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on June 11. He is looking for a home where he can be part of the action and receive lots of attention. He loves fresh fruit and vegetables as treats, and will sing a song of thanks when he feels like speaking his mind. Guinea pigs love to have a spot in their cage where they can hide out when they feel they need some quiet time. For more information about these or other animals available for adoption, please call the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www.ottawahumane.ca.

IS YOUR CAT’S SCRATCHING HABIT LEAVING YOU SCRATCHING YOUR HEAD?

There are lots of ways to keep your feline friend from ruining the furniture.

You can’t eliminate scratching behaviours: it’s a normal behaviour for your cat; it becomes a problem only when the object being scratched is an item of value to you. The goal is to redirect the scratching to an acceptable object, such as a scratching post.

Provide objects for scratching that are appealing and convenient from your cat’s point of view. Observe the physical features of the objects your cat is scratching. Note their location, texture, shape and height.

Substitute a similar object(s) for your cat to scratch (for example, rope-wrapped posts, corrugated cardboard, or even a log). Place an acceptable object (for example, scratching post) near an

inappropriate object (for example, upholstered chair). Make sure the objects are stable and won’t fall over when she uses them. You can make these objects more attractive to your cat by spraying them with catnip periodically and hanging a toy from the post.

If you cat is refusing to use a scratching post and prefers your rug, try covering a piece of plywood with carpet and spraying it with some catnip.

Cover the inappropriate object(s) with something your cat won’t like, such as double-sided sticky tape, aluminium foil, sheets of sandpaper, or a plastic carpet runner with the pointy side up.

Only remove the “unappealing” coverings (for example, double-sided sticky tape, aluminium foil, sheets of sandpaper) from the inappropriate object(s) when your cat is consistently using the appropriate objects. This will entice your cat to investigate the more appealing scratching post.

Don’t take your cat over to the scratching post and position her paws on the post to show her what she’s supposed to do. This

will likely have the opposite effect and make her less likely to use the post.

Special products for training your cat are available at pet supply stores.

If you are considering declawing your cat, consider this: declawing a cat doesn’t remove just the claws — it amputates the end digit from the paw, similar in scope to cutting off a person’s finger at the last joint. This procedure can cause substantial discomfort and complications after the operation. Declawed cats may become reclusive, irritable, aggressive and unpredictable, and may have a tendency to bite as they cannot scratch to give warning.

While other, newer methods exist for declawing (for example, laser surgery), the end result is still undesirable for your cat as it prevents her from engaging in normal cat behaviour. The OHS does not support declawing. It should be considered as a final option after you have exhausted other alternatives to eliminate destructive behaviour.

However, if you feel that you must either declaw your cat or give her up, the OHS would rather see your cat stay in her

If this is your decision, consult your veterinarian first and discuss having the surgery done at the same time your cat is spayed or neutered.

Other tips

Shockey

Shockey is a much loved, robust 1 year old male addopted on Valentines’ Day from the SPCA. Named after Jeremy Shockey of the NFL, he is an extremely fast and agile cat who can jump through railings to gain access to the floor above. His favorite song is ‘Shock the Monkey” by Peter Gabriel. Being a thoughtful cat he never wakes his owners in the morning, he’s partial to an evening cuddle but, is never clingy. He recently broke a desperate addiction to cat treats, and his favourite past-time is GETTING ROWDY!!

If you catch your cat in the act, try making a loud noise (for example, use a whistle, shake a soda can filled with pebbles or pennies, or slap a wall or a table) or use a water-filled squirt bottle.

Conversely, when your cat claws the scratching post instead of your couch, make sure you give your cat extra praise and affection.

One reason cats scratch is to remove the dead outer layer of their claws. Regularly trimming your cat’s nails can help reduce scratching. You should clip off the sharp tips of your cat’s claws on his front feet every two weeks or so.

home. If you decide that it is absolutely necessary to have your cat declawed, only have the front paws done, so that the cat can still scratch an itch, climb and defend herself.

Scratching is normal cat behaviour, not a comment on your upholstery. Cats scratch in order to: remove the dead outer layer of their claws; rub their scent onto things to mark their territory; stretch; work off energy; and even to seek your attention when they want something.
