EMC news - Premier Dalton McGuinty says he is open to ideas from his political opponents on improving the 2012 Ontario budget, as long as any proposals won’t delay the Liberals’ plans to balance the books by 2017. Speaking in Alta Vista on

March 30, McGuinty defended the budget bill he said is aimed at cutting the deficit and protecting those services that are dear to Ontarians. “When we introduced our budget, we worked really hard trying to ensure that we strike a balance between eliminating our deficit by 2017 and doing it in a way that protects those

services that families count on – like health care and education,” said McGuinty. He stressed he is willing to listen to the opposition in a bid to stave off a snap election, but warned he won’t consider any new spending measures, even if it means Ontario voters end up going back to the polls. “I am saying to the opposition parties, we are open to suggestions, open to any recommendations that you might have,” he said. The premier, who repre-

sents the Ottawa South riding, added most Ontarians don’t want to be plunged into another election, at least at this time of the year. “We are a minority government and at the end of the day we are going to count on the support from the opposition in order to move ahead with this budget.” The offer to working together comes few days after McGuinty tabled his ninth budget, one that calls for a broad public-sector wage freeze,

spending cuts at many ministries and a freeze on corporate tax rates, which were set to be lowered to 10 per cent from 11.5 per cent by mid-2013. By and large, McGuinty said he thinks the budget has been well received by Ontarians. “I think Ontarians are asking us to work together and find a way to move forward with our budget,” said McGuinty. BUDGET, see 2

2012 Ontario Budget Our government recently presented the 2012 Ontario Budget — the cornerstone of our plan to balance the budget by 2017/18. We’re making the right choices for Ontario families — so we can grow the economy, and continue protecting our schools and public health care. Strong action is required to eliminate the deficit — we are limiting program spending, transforming public services, and beating our deficit targets. We cannot engage in unsustainable spending and we will not increase taxes.

No cuts to health care and education funding: McGuinty BUDGET, from 1

“So that, we can demonstrate not only to ourselves but to the outside world that they have every reason to be confident in our economy and its continuing growth and prosperity,� said McGuinty. While he is ready to hear from opposition, McGuinty said there are overarching objectives upon which his government “simply can’t compromise� which include health care and education.

“If either party wants to approach us, they’ve got to know that we want to protect our jobs and services and want a balanced budget. Don’t come to us with new spending,� he said. Lisa MacLeod, Progressive Conservative MPP for Nepean-Carleton said her party has vowed to vote against the spending plan. “We have been very clear we are not going to support the budget,� said MacLeod. “We just don’t believe it is

the right package for Ontario families.� MacLeod said she was frustrated the third largest spending priority of McGuinty’s government is servicing the debt. She noted that Ontario spends more on servicing Ontario’s debt each year than on colleges and universities. “People are very concerned about the debt level,� said MacLeod. To help create jobs and spur economic growth in

Ottawa, the McGuinty government is moving forward with planned infrastructure projects including fixing “the split� where the Queensway and Highway 174 meet and completing the Highway 417-Hunt Club interchange, according to a release from the province. “Our $600 million commitment to Ottawa light rail transit is firm.� McGuinty hopes the project will create many jobs for Ottawans.

Federal government pumps $1 million into autism research Eddie Rwema Eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news - The federal government is taking a bold step on the path to improving the health and well-being of children and adults living with autism. Health minister Leona Aglukkaq announced funding of up to $1 million over five years that will help fund a research chair, who will oversee research in treatment and care of autism spectrum disorders. Aglukkaq hopes the grant will attract the brightest scientists from across the world. “I would like to personally encourage researchers to apply,” Aglukkaq said as she announced the funding on March 27 at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Autism Intervention Program offices in Ottawa. “We need your creativity and your expertise.” Researchers working in Canada and those willing to relocate to a Canadian research institution are eligible for the chair. Those not currently conducting research in the field of autism must demonstrate how they would bring new approaches to the treatment or care of individuals with autism. Aglukkaq said autism is a growing health concern in Canada. “Statistics suggest that about one in 100 children will

be diagnosed with a form of autism,” said Aglukkaq. “At the moment there are no firmly established guidelines for diagnosing or treating autism spectrum disorders.” The program, funded by the federal government and several partners, is aimed at helping a researcher bring innovative approaches to the treatment and care of people with autism spectrum disorder. Aglukkaq noted that children and families affected by autism face a wide range of challenges and uncertainties in their day-today lives. “The only way to address these challenges is through a greater understanding of autism,” she said. “In particular we need more research to identify effective treatment and explore the best options for care and support.” Since 2000, the federal government has invested approximately $40 million in autism related research, according to the minister. “The research chair will help translate research into better treatments and improve standards of care for children and adults living with these disorders,” said Aglukkaq. Edmonton-Mill WoodsBeaumont MP Mike Lake, whose 16-year-old son is autistic, spoke first-hand about the challenges families with children with autism go through and how the funding is impor-

tant to these families. Lake is optimistic the funding will focus on research enabling autistic children to grow and function as adults. “It is very critical for us to have research that teaches us new ways to communicate with a non-verbal autistic kids,” said Lake. He said children with autism have a very difficult time dealing with abstract – things like feeling. “My son is very able to tell us when he wants a cookie, but it’s very difficult for him to tell us when he is feeling unwell or not happy in some way,” he said. Martin Osmond, chief executive of the CHEO Research Institute, said the funding was timely. “Today is indeed an important day for autism research,” As a practicing pediatrician, Osmond said he has seen many children over the years diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and that he knows the great needs that exist in communities to have treatment interventions that have proven to be effective. “I know that it is only through the carefully development and rigorous evaluation of treatments that we can be sure that our children are getting the most effective care, and that is why I am so excited about today’s announcement,” said Osmond.

Needle drop box moves away from Emond Park Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - After months of requests made by Vanier residents, a needle drop box has been moved from Emond Park. The needle box, placed in front of the park more than two years ago has now been moved to a short distance away from the park. Emond Park was the only park in Ottawa with a needle box, according to Brian Fleischhaker, a project co-ordinator for Ottawa Public Health, who said the box was placed there at the request of the community. The request to move it, also from the community, was not at first what Ottawa Public Health wanted to do.

“When we received requests in the fall, our stance was to keep it there,” Fleischhaker said. As a compromise, public health moved the box to the Snack Shack beside the park. The move, Fleischhaker said is currently a trial basis, depending on how the business owner feels about it. “It the owner wants it moved, it will be moved,” Fleischhaker said. The removal of the box from the front of the park is not the only related needle box development in the neighbourhood, with another box being placed at another location in Vanier. Elaine Léger, chairwoman of the Vanier Community Association parks and recreation committee, said association has long been requesting the

needles five different sources: needle boxes, needle hunters, needles picked up by city staff, from the Site Program and household hazardous waste depots. Because it is against the law to throw out needles in residential garbage, many of these needles are from diabetics or people using needles

for other medical-related purposes. There are 35 needle boxes in the city, from which 245,923 needles were collected in 2011.

Tough economic times are never pretty

H

as Ontario turned into a classic example of keeping up with the Joneses by increasing debt to keep up with the average Canadian consumer? The March 24 budget tabled by the provincial government says we are. Our piggy bank is dry, every last penny – and more – has been spent. We’re following in the footsteps of the average citi-

zen, who can’t seem to resist pulling out the credit card for pricey purchases. But unlike spend thrifty average Joes, we expect more from our government. We’re wasting billions of dollars on interest payments alone every year. To put things into perspective, Ontario spends $4.7 billion on the administration of justice and $7.5 billion on postsecondary education and training. The cost of service-

ing the provincial debt each year nearly tops both at $10.6 billion. Now that the coffers are truly dry, it’s time to get on the right track and get rid of the debt, even if it means drastically cutting costs over the few years. Overall, there are bound to be people who are unhappy – take money away from anywhere and it’s going to reduce services and facilities, or affect staffing.

But years down the road, with the debt reduced, that’s a lot of money we could have back to invest in worthwhile projects. Ontario can fund a lot of schools and hospitals with $10 billion, a long-term gain that can’t be overlooked. Short-term, is this the best budget that people can expect? No, because things will be cut, services will be reduced. It might be a rough road, but

follow the path for the next five years and it’s going to be a good decision for the province as a whole. At least that’s the plan. There is a great deal at stake as Ontario’s 444 municipalities begin to realize they will have to make some hard choices. The choice between raising taxes to make up for any shortfall in provincial funding or doing without will be difficult to make.

Sewage treatment plants and schools do not come cheap. Even if Ontario is as overburdened as a beleaguered consumer, it’s never too late to chart our own path. Let’s not be an example of the poor getting poorer, because when you’re in debt to the tune of almost $240 billion, the hole is already deep enough. While the budget might not leave smiles on anyone’s faces for the immediate future, the cuts are going to mean a long-term benefit for our province and be a decision we won’t regret down the line.

Watering down Canadian politics CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

T

he day after Thomas Mulcair was elected leader of the New Democratic Party, Canadians opened their newspapers to see what it all meant. They got the expected assortment of comments about the quality of his acceptance speech, the nature of his support and the feeling in the room. And, in several high-quality national newspapers, they read – or didn’t read – articles about Mulcair’s beard. Image consultants were consulted. “It may be a personal bias, I don’t know,” said one. “I prefer, even in a leader, whether it be political or business, I think I would prefer a man who was clean-shaven myself.” She added that beards made her think of older men. She mentioned Roger Whitaker, a perennial favourite at the National Arts Centre some years ago. This might not have been flattering. A second image consultant was consulted, the article being nothing if not thorough. “My advice to him is if that’s something he’s comfortable with, he certainly needs to keep it clean,” this one said. Another newspaper ran a series of photos of bearded political leaders down through the ages. One was Pierre Trudeau, but the newspaper helpfully pointed out that Trudeau only wore a beard when he was briefly leader of the Opposition in 1979. What important lessons are we to learn from this? Absolutely none. Except that there is a tendency now in the media to reduce any important issue to a lifestyle story. Think of it: In the last election how many stories did you see about Jack Layton’s mustache? And, well before that, how many stories did

you see about Preston Manning changing his hair style? Or Stephen Harper wearing glasses? Why is this? One obvious answer is that the news media think we are stupid, that we can’t handle the details of policy and ideology and want only to read about appearances. Another is that the image story is the easiest one in the world to write. Just phone the image consultant and ask about beards. A more complicated answer stems from what the media see as our obsession with celebrity and personality. If we want to know every detail about, say, Julia Roberts, wouldn’t we want to know the same about Thomas Mulcair? Probably not, but that never stopped an image consultant’s phone from ringing. The obsession with turning news into lifestyle can extend even into the most tragic circumstances. A couple of weeks ago, Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager in a Florida community was shot to death by a white man who said he felt threatened by him. Trayvon was wearing a hoodie, a piece of apparel common among young people. Several days later major newspapers in both Canada and the United States saw fit to publish lengthy articles on the origins and meaning of the hoodie, quoting fashion professors at universities and such. Suffice it to say that if the victim had been wearing a cowboy hat there would have been reporters asking fashion professors about cowboy hats. It has come to this.

Bank Street design plan works: community association eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – The president of the Heron Park Community Association said he is pleased the Bank Street community design plan (CDP) that was approved by council on March 28 took into account their input. “We like the CDP and we see a little of our input in there,” said association president James McLaren. A vibrant mixed-use area with diverse concentration of housing types, shops and services with an attractive streetscape and many public gathering places make up the vision for the proposed CDP. The plan, which covers a 3.2-kilometre stretch of Bank Street between the Rideau River and the Canadian National Railway tracks south of Walkley Road, calls for three nodes of intensive transit-oriented redevelopment with taller buildings housing commercial, office and residential uses. The design plan provides a broad and integrated 20-year vision and guide for the future of the street and the neighbouring communities. The goal of the design plan is to create a streetscape that helps increase the economic, civic, and cultural vitality of the neighbourhood. Among other things, the plan calls for the transformation of Kaladar Avenue from a light industrial to a mixed use. McLaren said it was odd to have an industrial zone besides a residential zone. “In the past it has caused a lot of friction between our community and the industrial traffic right next door,” he said. He said the changes as outlined in the new plan will be beneficial to the residents of Heron Park.

In a release, the city said this transformed area would be supported with new facilities for pedestrians and cyclists, and new green space. Though the plan doesn’t envision widening of Bank Street, McLaren thinks big developments expected on the renewed street will come with constant pressures to do that. “The traffic pressure is just enormous and growing all the time and that is always going to be a problem and we are aware of that,” said McLaren. The plan creates a vision for an area of just over 100 hectares that many councillors said they feel has been forgotten. One of the councillors for the area, Capital Ward’s David Chernushenko, said this plan does what community design plans are meant to do: outline a framework for an area that’s on the brink of transformation. “It’s always felt separated from the retail on Bank Street,” Chernushenko said. “This is a chance to bring it back together.” The goal is to change that section of Bank Street from “Merivale Road lite” to a pedestrian-friendly environment with trees, benches and wider sidewalks. The plan looks to phase out parking lots that divide buildings from the street; although existing lots can stay, future parking will be located behind buildings, underground or in parking structures. Creating cycling and pedestrian links is a big part of encouraging those hubs to develop with a mix of businesses and housing, according to the plan. The goal is to keep that section of Bank Street as a commercial strip, but add more vibrancy and foot-traffic to the street by allowing housing and offices to also be built

Cycling lanes along the length of Bank Street would help that effort, and are recommended in the plan. Chernushenko added that

his efforts would be focused on trying to create better, safer cycling and pedestrian links over the Rideau River into Old Ottawa South. To encourage walking, the

plan calls for better sidewalks that have a boulevard buffer between the cycling lane and roadway and the sidewalk. Dedicated left-turning lanes would be axed along most

of Bank to make way for a landscaped median. On-street parking could be introduced in the future as a way to promote sidewalk retail. With files from Laura Mueller

City to install cycling markers on two bridges Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

Capital Coun. David Chernushenko wants to give cyclists the right of way on Bank and Billings bridges. the bicycle anyway, and when traffic is heavy you are being asked to stay behind the bicycle until it is safe to pass,” said Chernushenko. “The issue here is to try and make many people who are not cycling because they are nervous to do so.” James McLaren, president of the Heron Park Communi-

ty Association said it is hard to see the initiative working. “They are asking cars to move at the speed bikes are moving at in the outside lanes and frankly I just don’t see that happening,” said McLaren. “I know the bridges are narrow. It is difficult and complicated to provide bike lanes

but this isn’t the answer.” Many people that attended the open house preferred to have the single file sharrow (single lane marking) as opposed to a side-by-side sharrow that would require a minimum safe distance of one metre between the motorist and the cyclist. Alex deVries, from the

Citizens for Safe Cycling, a local cycling advocacy group, welcomed the move a means to a encourage more people to bike. “This is not about safety because biking isn’t unsafe. It is about how comfortable do people feel and how we can encourage new people to bike,” he said.

0405.R0011341737

EMC news – Road markers instructing motorists and cyclists to share the road will soon be installed on Bank Street Bridge and Billings Bridge to improve cycling safety. The city plans to make the outside lanes in both directions on the two bridges “no passing lanes” obliging cars to stay behind the cyclist until safely off the bridge. “One of the things I am trying to accomplish as a cycling councillor, is to give people the confidence to ride more,” Capital Coun. David Chernushenko told a group of residents at an open house in Old Ottawa South to explain the proposed approach held on March 29. Chernushenko hopes to have single file shared-lane markings installed before summer kicks in to encourage more people to bike. The approach will require cyclists to ride in the middle of the lane while on the bridge and will ask motorists to be patient and share the road when cyclists claim the lane. Chernushenko said that he is working on improving the safety of the bridges for cyclists and pedestrians. He noted that the bridges

are too narrow to have their own dedicated bike lanes and ruled out dedicating one lane to cyclists. There is no major changes to the actual infrastructure of the bridges but better signage, painting, clarity and an awareness campaign that will come with this,” said Chernushenko. He said the cyclists don’t belong on sidewalks, but many prefer to use sidewalks because they feel unsafe on the road surface of the two bridges. He added that currently cyclists either ride on the road or on the sidewalk. “Many people feel it is the only safe way by which they would cross the bridge and they are not dismounting to walk as they should be doing and that is a challenge,” said Chernushenko. He said the bridges are usually the scariest part for cyclists. “It is what I hear regularly when people say I would cycle more if it weren’t for those bridges,” he said. “The desire is there, it is the sense of not feeling safe that people aren’t cycling.” He Chernushenko said his aim is to improve cycling and not slowing traffic. “My belief is that when traffic is light, you will easily be able to move around

Public service cuts not as deep as feared Museums spared, but NCC, NAC and CBC budgets trimmed Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – While many analysts viewed the impending federal budget as an axe hanging over the public service, job cuts were not as deep as expected in the budget released March 30. But tough times are still anticipated as the Conservative government looks to trim 19,200 jobs, or 4.8 per cent of the civil workforce. As the largest employer by far in the capital region, the federal public service cuts will be felt in Ottawa more so than any other place in Canada, says the union that represents public service workers. It’s still unclear how many of those 19,200 jobs will be eliminated in this city. But John Gordon, national president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), dismissed Ottawa West-Nepean MP John Baird’s recent claim that the cuts to jobs in the Capital region would only amount to around 4,800. “I believe the numbers are greater than the 4,800,” Gordon said. About 12,000 government jobs will be lost to layoffs over the next three years and another 7,200 will be eliminated by attrition through retirement and

voluntary departures. Information about how many jobs are to be eliminated – and where – was beginning to trickle into the PSAC last week. Gordon couldn’t comment on specifics until after April 4, but the job losses, particularly in the capital region, are significant, he said. “It’s substantial, I must say,” Gordon said. The move should save around $5.2 billion annually by 2014-15 as part of an overall government spending review. The number of public servants is already set to go down following reviews conducted between 2007 and 2010, Gordon said, and another batch of jobs were lost during a 2010 federal hiring freeze. While the cuts don’t amount to austerity measures implemented by the Liberal government in the ’90s that cut federal employment by 14 per cent, Gordon said any increase in unemployment will have an impact on the local economy. “They’re not going to be able to spend the way they would if they had a job,” Gordon said. “If you don’t have a job, you’re not going to be able to go out to your local businesses and do the same things you would nor-

mally … I’d say they’re going to have to pinch their pennies, but they’re gone, too.” Gordon was referring to another casualty of the federal budget; the one-cent coin is set to cease production by the fall, which will save the federal government $11 million a year (it actually costs 1.6 cents to produce each copper-plated coin). Gordon said PSAC wants to work with government departments to ensure that retraining and assistance is available to help public servants move into different jobs within the federal government, if they are available. While a lot of public servants who live in Ottawa may decide to stay in the city because their families and finances are entrenched here, workers have to be willing to be mobile in this harsh economy, Gordon said. “There may be some people who get other opportunities in government and may move into another region,” Gordon said. The federal budget doesn’t include any changes to funding for national museums in Ottawa, nor the National Gallery or the Canada Council for the Arts; however, the CBC will see its budget reduced by $115 million a year by 2014-15 and the National Arts Centre will get $1.9 million less a year by the same time. The National Capital Commission will see its budget cut by $1.8 million a year by 2014-15. With files from TorStar News Service

Some had feared the cuts would be worse, but the release of the federal 2012 budget on March 30 revealed that 19,200 public service jobs will be eliminated by 2015.

Garbage pickup challenge could win you $1,000 EMC news – Alta Vista residents have a chance to win $1,000 towards their property tax if they can participate in biweekly garbage pickup On April 2, area Coun. Peter Hume invited his constituents to the “Trash 2 Cash” contest. Residents who agree to biweekly garbage collection, and continue with that pickup

schedule until the fall, will be entered into a draw for the property tax discount. The challenge, which is currently only open to Alta Vista ward residents, will run from April 16 to May 20. Biweekly garbage collection starts in November and Hume hopes to kickstart the change with this contest. “People often struggle with change,” Hume said.

“Many of us will try something new for a tempting incentive. This challenge will get people used to reducing their waste, and hopefully show them how easy it is to fill their green bin instead of filling their garbage.” Last April, the city voted to change the way garbage is collected, with a focus on encouraging single-family homes to use green bins to re-

cycle organics. Under the new plan green bins, which would contain much of a household’s smelly waste, would be picked up every week. Recycling bins would be picked up every week, alternating between blue (glass, aluminum and plastics) and fibres (paper and cardboard). Anything left over that has to be placed in a garbage bag

would only be picked up every two weeks. Contestants will have to fill out a survey after each of the five weeks regarding how the collection went and provide a photo of their garbage buildup each week. The winnings will be supplied by Orgaworld, which runs the city’s composting program. Ottawa produces about 200,000 tonnes of garbage

each year and Hume added much of that could be directed to the green bin program. “Dealing responsibly with our organic waste is about ecostewardship. This is waste that doesn’t need to be sitting in a landfill and can be rerouted to a better purpose. Alta Vista residents who wish to register should email peterhumeottawa@gmail. com.

She said the newborn babies will also show children that animals give birth in early spring because food is easier to ďŹ nd. Desaulniers also said children learn why spring is an important time for farmers so their animals can prosper before the cooler autumn months. Younger children will be able to take part in the museum’s annual Easter egg hunt and older children can take

part in a scavenger hunt. For the parents, Desaulniers said the museum’s demonstration kitchen will be set up to learn how to make hot cross buns and other bread recipes. The weekend will also allow children to learn the life cycle of rabbits and why the animal is associated with Easter. The museum, located on Prince of Wales Drive, will be open Easter weekend from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The $22-million project for reconstruction along Bank Street began in May 2011. The street re-opened on Nov. 15 and now residents can look forward to the finishing touches to their street to begin.

Bank Street finishing touches to begin Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - The completion of the Bank Street reconstruction work in the Glebe, including a ďŹ nal layer of asphalt, new pavers for the sidewalks and installation of street furniture, will begin in May. The $22-million reconstruction project originally began at the end of May 2011 and saw large portions of Bank Street closed for much of six months between the Rideau Canal and Queensway. Century-old water and sewer pipes were replaced as part of the project, as was the deteriorating roadway. The reconstruction was planned on an aggressive schedule in order to minimize

disruption to residents and businesses, with a temporary layer of asphalt laid down in November. Catherine Waters, a Glebe Community Association board member, worked on a committee formed speciďŹ cally to address Bank Street reconstruction. She gave fellow board members an update on the ďŹ nal stage of construction at a meeting on March 27. “Everything will step up as the weather warms up,â€? Waters said “Then the plan to complete the streetscape will begin.â€? Waters said the city is currently meeting with the same contractors who completed the initial work for their spring schedule. Such things as benches, art

work, bicycle racks and new trees are all things the committee wants to see returned to the street, she said. The Bank Street reconstruction committee was created with the help of Capital Coun. David Chernushenko so the community would be able to engage with the city during the construction. Glebe resident Carol Macleod asked Waters what the status of the planters the community used to care for was. Waters said she asked the city and was told everything would be replaced or reimbursed. The ďŹ nal touches to the reconstruction project are expected to be complete by the end of June. With files from Eddie Rwema

Playoff drive has Sens soaring with Sportsnet By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com The Ottawa Senators’ surprising rise to playoff contention has been a hit with television viewers. Fans are tuning into the team in record numbers on Sportsnet East, the team’s regional rights holder since the network launched in 1998. Through games played March 23, Senators telecasts were attracting an average per-minute audience of 196,200 per night, an increase of 24 per cent over the 2010-11 campaign. “We’re approaching 200,000 viewers per broadcast and that’s the highest our Senators numbers have ever been,â€? said Rob Corte, the network’s vice-president of production. “We’re very pleased and it’s indicative of how the team is (playing) and how the marketplace feels about the team.â€? Indeed, it’s no coincidence that the signiďŹ cant rise in interest in Senators TV broadcasts falls in line with the growing enthusiasm about a team that, in a lot of eyes, wasn’t expected to contend for a playoff position in what had been deemed to be a rebuilding season. However, with less than two weeks left in the regular schedule, Ottawa holds down seventh place in the

BOSTON BRUINS Thursday, April 5, 7:30 p.m., Sportsnet East The defending Stanley Cup champions have begun to regain their old form in recent games, showing they’re again one of the teams to beat heading into the 2011-12 postseason. The Bruins’ biggest breakout player of the campaign has been second-year forward Tyler Seguin, who’s emerged as a prime leader of the team’s attack. Patrice Bergeron rates as one of the NHL’s top twoway threats, while Milan Lucic and Brad Marchand are physical forces who also produce plenty of offence.

Zdeno Chara is still one of the league’s most feared blueliners as well as being a top Norris Trophy candidate. With Tuukka Rask sidelined by injury, the majority of the goaltending load falls on the capable shoulders of Tim Thomas, last year’s playoff MVP.

This season has also seen the introduction of a 30-minute pre-game show leading into Sportsnet telecasts, which Corte believes can help get fans revved up for the games. “The pre-game show has been a pleasant surprise ... the numbers have been tremendous,â€? said Corte. “They’ve far exceeded what our expectations would have been. There is a desire and craving for Ottawa Senators coverage in the marketplace and this speaks to it right there. (The pre-game show) just gives viewers another place at a different time to get Senators information. It builds anticipation and gets the story lines owing leading into the broadcast and then it just carries through (to the games).â€? Sportsnet East and Sportsnet One will carry a combined 52 games this season to the Senators broadcast territory, which covers a region extending east from Peterborough, Ont., and also includes parts of Northern Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces.

Aboriginal youth project unveiled

JW Jones swings seventh blues album Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - Ottawa blues artist JW Jones has gone back to basics in his latest album released at the end of March. Seventh Hour is the Greely resident’s seventh studio album, and has avoided some of the bells and whistles – and horns and harmonicas – of previous releases. “On previous albums I think I was concentrating too much on pleasing everybody and getting every possible sound on there, like having some songs with horns, some with harmonica doing the Chicago blues thing,� he said. “For this album...the songs came out just as they would as a fourpiece band. You don’t need to add anything extra to them.� Other albums included guests like blues singer Kim Wilson and singer and guitarist Junior Watson. This time they’ve gone “back to square one� without any musical guests, much like his first album Defibrillatin released in 2000. “That’s how we tour any-

way, so I wanted to have the exact sound we have on stage on the record,� he said. The 10-track album is also a departure, Jones said, because it features some noticeable cross-over into genres such as rock and country, and has moved further away from traditional blues sounds. “We’re not concentrating on being as traditional as we used to be. I was always concerned about ‘oh, what will the real serious blues fans think of this album, will they take this ok or that ok?’ and I would scale things back to make them sound more bluesy,� he said. The band had a CD release party at the Rainbow Bistro downtown on Friday, March 30. Jones has always lived in Ottawa, attending Ridgemont High School in the Alta Vista area. He recently performed at a benefit concert at the school to help restore its aging auditorium. He moved to Greely about four years ago. Jones has won several blues awards during his career, including best male vocalist at

Greely resident JW Jones released his seventh studio album in March. the 2010 Blues 411 Awards. In 2005 he was named the best electric act of the year at the Maple Blues Awards, Canada’s blues recognition program. Jones has had 11

other Maple Blues nominations since 2000, and has been nominated in various categories at the Canadian Independent Music Awards and the Blues 411 Awards.

EMC entertainment - Students from Rideau High School unveiled a new art exhibit on March 27 featuring works from a special project that encouraged them to discover and promote aboriginal culture. The exhibit at the Ottawa Art Gallery features art from students in Native Arts and Native Studies classes at Rideau. The work on display focused on the Skyworld, a traditional theme found in First Nations’ Creation stories. “This project brings the students into their own community and for the non-native community, it opens them up to a great community,� Marg Boyle, Rideau High teacher and project co-ordinator said. The Skyworld project was orchestrated by the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health, with funding from the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board and the Ottawa Art Gallery, with the Ottawa School of Speech and Drama offering lessons on both visual and dramatic art. The project began in 2010 when Boyle attended a culture night at the Wabano Centre. The evening’s program was all about how to get Aboriginal children involved in their heri-

tage and culture. A partnership grew from that evening between Boyle and the centre, sowing the seeds of the Skyworld project. “For me, as a teacher, what Wabano has brought here is invaluable,� she said. “I got to witness students who have never sewn before, running for the best fabrics and colours. When I come here and see after all the hard work, what the students have created, it is pretty inspiring.� Students worked with various different Aboriginal artists and elders to help develop their pieces including ceremonial dress making, traditional crafts, powwow dancing and a field trip to the Arts Court for inspiration. There were also summer workshops students participated in, which included working with Rideau’s feeder school, Queen Elizabeth Public School, which developed three artistic pieces present in the gallery. Jerry Longboat, the cultural co-ordinator at Wabano was excited to be at the opening. “This is very inspiring,� Longboat said. “I am a firm believer our youth our so important to our cultural future and it is important to give the youth a voice and a space for their voice.�

New Art Festival addresses Glebe community concerns michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Members of the New Art Festival committee and Glebe Community Association parks committee butted heads at a recent meeting over resident concerns regarding the annual festival. The annual New Art Festival at Central Park in the Glebe offers a venue for upand-coming artists and seasoned ones to sell their art to the general public. The event has grown to more than 200 artists taking over the park for one weekend in June with thousands of visitors attending the event. Concerns were raised by the Glebe Community Association parks committee about how the park was treated during last year’s event. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko held a meeting with both parties to address these concerns and as a follow-up, members of the festival committee, came to the March 27 Glebe Community Association meeting to discuss these issues. Bhat Boy, the Glebe artist who created the event over 20 years ago, while no longer on the committee, spoke on behalf of its members. “Residents have raised some concerns and we want to address them tonight,” he said. The parks committee chairwoman Elizabeth Ballard was surprised the committee decided to address the meeting unexpectedly. She said the parks committee had been looking to address the issues with the recently appointed

To Call or Not to Call? members of the festival committee separately. “Generally we have been working together, but no one got in touch with me about coming here tonight,” Ballard said. “I feel blindsided.” The festival committee said they wanted to address the concerns quickly and make the appropriate changes. A few of the issues raised by the parks committee included parking, noise, home owner’s driveways being blocked and safety of pedestrians during the festival. In addition, there were complaints about large amounts of grass being damaged at the park during the festival. “The (festival committee) is looking for ways to limit the damage to the grass,” Bhat Boy said during his address to meeting. Central Park, once a creek bed, can be sensitive to large amounts of traffic. In 1997, at the request of residents, vehicles were prohibited from the park during the set-up and tear-down of the festival. Likening the event to other singular annual events in the neighbourhood, such as the Great Glebe Garage Sale, the festival committee said most of the other issues with the festival are similar. As for parking, the festival committee is hoping to work something out with the nearby schools. Chernushenko also spoke about the concerns. “At the meeting we created an action plan,” he said. “I think we have a way to move forward and make it a better

STRONG ACTION FOR OTTAWA Last week, our government delivered Budget 2012, the cornerstone of our plan to balance the Ontario budget by 2017/2018. We’re taking strong action and making the right choices for Ontario families — so we can grow the economy, and continue protecting our schools and public health care. Over the course of our five year plan, spending in areas of highest priority — education and health care — will see modest increases. With half of government spending going towards compensation, we’re also negotiating agreements with public sector partners that will help us meet our budget goals. Here in Ottawa, our 2012 Budget outlines our ongoing commitment to our community. We are moving ahead with: t Full-day kindergarten in every school by 2014 t Building new libraries at Carleton University and the University of Ottawa t Planned redevelopment of the Ottawa Heart Institute t Expanding the Queensway Carleton and Hawkesbury Hospitals t Building the Orleans Health Hub t Fixing the split and the Hunt Club interchange t Upholding our $600 million commitment to Ottawa light rail While maintaining growth in Ottawa, we are taking action to tackle and eliminate the deficit in coming years. By extending the pay freeze for MPPs and public sector executives, reducing program spending, capping the Ontario Clean Energy Benefit, changing the Ontario Drug Benefit program, and selling government-owned buildings, among other measures, we are taking the necessary steps to balance our budget.

WE ARE HERE TO HELP Please feel free to contact me at my community office if there are any provincial issues I can assist you with. My staff and I will do our best to help.

Fishing, hunting experts will conduct seminars at Valley Fishing and Outdoors Show in Carp By JEFF MAGUIRE The ‘Valley Fishing and Outdoors Show’ returns to Carp April 13-15 and with more exhibitors, additional prizes and numerous seminars featuring hunting and fishing experts, this year’s venture promises to be the best ever. The Carp Fairgrounds and Arena complex is once again the site for the 13th edition of the always popular, threeday presentation. “This is the biggest show of its kind in Eastern Ontario,” says chief organizer Dave Arbour of Valley Outdoors

Promotions. “We will have some of the best known experts in the business on hand,” Arbour states. Among them are David Chong and Doug Brownridge who will deliver the ‘BassTalk’ seminars on Saturday morning and afternoon, April 14. Each will be one hour long. Chong and Brownridge are among Canada’s most successful bass tournament winners and their seminars are acknowledged to be “the most informative in the field.” Sunday, April 15 will feature more

outstanding fishing seminars! “Be sure to participate in our new Musky Hot Stove with Matt Clay of Musky Canada,” Arbour stresses. “Dale McNair (another expert) will also be participating in the Musky panel.” Sunday afternoon at 1 o’clock Canadian Angler Hall of Fame inductee “Big Jim” McLaughlin takes centre stage. “With his many years of experience Big Jim is always a hit,” Arbour underlines. Also on the fishing side, the Ottawa Fly-fishing Society will lecture on their sport.

FAMILY FUN, FISHING AND

The Carp presentation is a family-oriented event with lots of games and prizes for children and the young at heart. For many people the exhibit halls are the main attraction. “We have expanded and that means more things to see and do,” Arbour promises. The Carp Fishing and Outdoors Show covers every possible fishing and hunting need, things for the cottage, including docks as well as information on how to book hunting, fishing and outdoor adventure trips. “This year we will have many new outfitters on hand to help you plan an adventure trip, anything from a fishing weekend to salmon fishing or bear, moose and caribou hunts,” the promoter states. “There is truly something for everyone who likes the outdoors. “This year’s event is made possible by great sponsors such as Rapala, Shimano, Lucky Strike, Quaker Boy, Tie Boss and the Stittsville Shooting Range,” Arbour says. The show hours are Friday 4-9 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. To reach the Carp Fairgrounds and Arena Complex travel to Carp Village which is easily accessible via major highway routes including March Road, Carp Road and Highway 417. It is located minutes north of Scotiabank Place, home of the National Hockey League’s Ottawa Senators. The fairgrounds are on Carp Rd. (Ottawa Rd. 5), past the four-way stop in the middle of the village. If you are coming from Kanata or Stittsville, drive to the top of the hill and look for entrances to the grounds which will be easy to find on your right. If you are traveling from locations in West Carleton such as Dunrobin and Fitzroy Harbour the fairgrounds will be on your left as you enter Carp. People driving from outside the immediate area can reach Carp via Hwy. 7 or Hwy. 417, east from Carleton Place and Arnprior or west from Ottawa. Take the Carp Rd. exit and follow the signs to the village. Arbour is also the man behind the ‘Valley Gun and Hunting Show’ which runs at the same location in Carp annually. This year’s event will once again operate Labour Day weekend, Saturday Sept. 1 and Sunday Sept. 2. In March Arbour organized the second annual ‘Renfrew Gun Show’ which was highly successful. On May 12 Valley Outdoors Promotions will offer the second annual ‘Brockville Gun and Hunting Show’ at Brockville Memorial Centre. On Sept. 15 they will present the ‘Havelock Gun and Hunting Show’.

“They will be discussing the set-up of fly fishing gear in preparation to target local species including bass, pike, pan fish and trout,” Arbour explains. “There will also be casting demonstrations as well as discussions about the rods, reels and flies appropriate for landing these species. “In addition there will be hands on opportunities for casting and tying flies,” he outlines. There is also “a gun show within the show” and the $8 admission price (children under 12 get in free if accompanied by an adult) covers both the main event and the gun show. Parking at Carp Fairgrounds is plentiful and free of charge! Arbour says those interested in hunting wild turkey will not want to miss the Valley Fishing and Outdoors Show. “Friday evening will be all about turkeys with Quaker Boy pro staffer Adrian Hare taking the seminar stage. “Adrian will help you develop the techniques required to land that big spring gobbler,” the chief organizer says. Also Friday, Kevin Bartley from Gobblestalker Calls will be at the show discussing the importance of turkey calling. He will give a demonstration relative to the principle design and maintenance of turkey calls. A recent addition to this year’s show is Taylor Wright, host of the Canadian Tradition hunting show. Wright, who hails from Chaffey’s Locks, will be hanging his hat at the Eastern Canadian Outfitters booth. He will appear at the show for a few hours on both Saturday and Sunday to meet and talk with hunting enthusiasts. “He’s a big name and he’s sure to be a major attraction,” Arbour says. Many prizes Those in attendance might be fortunate enough to win one or more of the hourly prizes which will be given throughout this year’s show. The only catch is that door prize winners must be on site in order to win. In addition, Arbour says Eastern Canadian Outfitters is donating a fishing trip for two which includes accommodations and a boat and motor for a week. Fernleigh Lodge is sponsoring a week of family fun and fishing, with lodging in a housekeeping cottage. The trips are valued at $1,000 each. Another interesting aspect of the 2012 extravaganza is the Big Buck, Bear and Moose Contest. Mounts can be brought in on Thursday, April 12 (the day before the show) from 4-8 p.m. and again on Friday, April 13 from 1-9 p.m. “Entrants have a chance to win one of five firearms or other prizes and hidden prizes will also be awarded,” Arbour explains. “Experts from FROW (Foundation for the Recognition of Ontario Wildlife) will be on hand to measure your animal,” he notes. For participants, entries cannot be picked up again until 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 15 the final day of the event.

Youth workers shed light on addiction issues Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC news - Karen James from Rideauwood Addiction and Family Services works closely with drug and alcohol addicts. Some are adults in recovery, others are teenagers who abuse hard drugs and alcohol. She’s worked in the field for 17 years and on March 29, James attended a workshop where she learned even more about dealing with youth who have substance abuse issues, hearing stories from colleagues in related areas. “So far it’s interesting, and I think it’s laying a framework that will be very helpful for people in the field,” said James, who was on break from the workshop that took

place at the Hellenic Meeting and Reception Centre on Prince of Wales Drive. About 170 youth workers from education, youth justice, employment, Aboriginal youth services and children/ youth mental health services gathered at the centre to hear about a document put together by Addictions Ontario that was developed by experts and includes best practices for helping clients with substance abuse issues. “We’re looking at a collective experience of people and bringing them together,” said Dave Roy, director of addiction services at HopeGreyBruce Mental Health and Addiction Services in Owen Sound. The document was launched

in 2008 and has been presented to workers across Ontario. “We wanted it to be a live document, and keep it fresh,” said Deborah Irwin, manager of Algoma Family Services based in Sault Ste. Marie. Roy said the document outlines what is most effective in helping young people with addiction problems. For example, he said harm reduction is outlined as an effective way of helping people with addictions. Harm reduction, explained Roy, is about helping people who aren’t

ready to quit. “If they’re not ready to change, we look at what’s the best we can do until they get to the point where they want to stop,” Roy said, adding that he deals with youth who are involved in binge drinking. “Harm reduction says to look at your drinking and ask if there’s any way we can reduce it so it’s not as harmful. So you’re not drinking to the point of alcohol poisoning, you can reduce it back and that’s a start.” Roy also said that alcohol

is the most widely used substance and it kills more young people than all other illegal drugs combined. Irwin added that alcohol is a major issue that addiction professionals face with their clients because it’s so readily available. “Society tends not to look at alcohol as being a substance that can be misused,” she said. “It’s more socially acceptable than drug use.” James, who also works with high schools in the area, said she’s noticed more young

people using hard drugs like OxyContin and opiates. She added that mental illness and addictions go hand in hand, and the issue of addiction is complex. “Mental health issues are often hiding underneath addiction,” James said. “Addiction needs to get more focused on and right now, it isn’t. Addicts are not people to be thrown away. Youth are at risk and we need to be open and understanding of the origins of addictions.”

Mother and Audrey tried on just about every hat on the big long counter and even the hats that were on silver painted plaster heads. “Too fancy,â€?

It was plainer than I fancied, but then I didn’t have anything to say in the matter. I was only glad they picked a mauve one. Straw it was, with a wide ribbon. Only one small dark purple velvet ower was on the very front of the hat. Mother took it over to the counter and counted out $1.25 cents – a goodly sum for a hat back then.

When I rounded the corner to go back into the house, Audrey was unpacking the few packages and I could see Mother heading out the lane again with the buggy and with Queenie at a good trot. I guessed she was going to Briscoe’s General Store for something she had forgotten. Easter Sunday morning was a special day for me. This was when we dressed with special care. My hair had been tied up in rags all night, my best dress washed and starched and my short white gloves sparkling clean. Of course, I wouldn’t put them on until we were ready to walk into church, where everyone would be in their very best clothes and those who could afford it would be sporting something brand new. Alas, that wasn’t my sister Audrey’s or my fate. I was astonished to ďŹ nd Mother was wearing the same old hat she had worn on Easter Sunday for years. “Aren’t you going to wear your new hat, Mother?â€? I asked. “Not today, Mary ... now hurry, we’ll be late for church.â€? We went right up to the front pew where we always sat. The usual tussle to separate the brothers so there would be no pushing and

shoving or other disturbances during the service ďŹ nally settled us in our seats. Directly across from us the minister’s wife always sat ramrod straight and alone. My brother Emerson always said he thought she went to church through the night, because it never mattered how early we got there, she was always there before us. Always in the same black dress with the little white lace collar and the same black felt hat which she wore winter and summer. Never looking left or right. I couldn’t believe my eyes! There she was, in the same dress, but in the hat Mother had bought at Walker’s Store the day before. I let out a gasp and poked Audrey on the knee. She put a ďŹ nger to her lips telling me to be quiet. The service started with the organ gasping out the ďŹ rst hymn and the minister, climbing up into the little pulpit at the front of the church. I couldn’t take my eyes off the minister’s wife. And then she did something very unusual. She turned her head and looked right at Mother. She nodded ever so slightly, gave the faintest smile and then turned her face back to her husband. The ďŹ rst hymn, Christ the Lord Has Risen Today, echoed through the church.

Artists to make their mark on Kanata skate park Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The skate plaza at the new Richcraft Recreation Complex, Kanata will be getting a boost of inspiration thanks to two local artists. Centretown’s Alisdair MacRae and Negar Seyfollahy were selected as the winners of the public art competition for the skate park, as part of the city’s public art and community arts program. “We’re both really excited about the project,” said MacRae. “We really want to make something out of it. We want to make it so that the people who use the park and live in the immediate area enjoy it.” The two artists were chosen by a selection panel, with consideration given to the artists’ resumes and experience with the community collaborative process. “We did an unconventional call to artists based on a request for qualifications,” said Caleb Abbott, arts specialist for the community arts program. Instead of presenting a design for the skate park, the 11 qualifying artists were interviewed about their previous experience, potential ideas and how they would engage the community. “They’ll be developing (the art) as they get feedback from users, the community and New Line,” said Abbott. New Line Skate Parks will be constructing the plaza. Public consultations are scheduled for April 18, May 23 and June 20, all from 6 to 8 p.m. in Hall D of the Mlacak

orange you glad it’s

Food ‘n’ Stuff • 1 medium orange • 1/2 cup of orange juice • 1/4 cup water • 1/2 cup brown sugar • 1/8 tsp. salt • 1/8 tsp. cinnamon Trim any excess fat from the meat. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the oil. Lightly brown the meat on both sides in the pan. Remove the meat from the pan as soon as it’s browned. Peel the sweet potatoes, and cut them into half inch-

thick slices. Arrange the slices over the bottom of a 13 by nine inch baking dish. Slice the orange thinly and arrange the slices over the potatoes. Place the browned pork chops on top. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the orange juice, water, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. Pour this over the meat. Bake, covered, at 350 F (175 C) for 45 minutes. Uncover, and bake another 15 to 20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are cooked through. Serves 4-6.

Centre. “We came up with some loose ideas but we really wanted to get some feedback,” said MacRae. “We want to be flexible.” MacRae has displayed his work in group and solo exhibitions in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Halifax and Vancouver, as well as New York. MacRae focuses on issues of community and exchange experienced through a hands on approach enabling social engagement, said a city press release. Seyfollahy has pursued her education in the fields of archaeology and heritage studies and has recently earned a bachelor’s of architecture from Car-

leton University. She has been involved in the design and development of various projects ranging from theatre set design, to housing and mixed-use buildings, and most recently a community revitalization draft study for the town of Batawa, Ont., said the city. The public art program commissions artists’ works for display in public spaces. One per cent of funds from city development projects are set aside for public art. The city’s community arts program asked to integrate art into the new recreation complex’s skate plaza, while engaging the community in the artistic process.

t’s always nice to come across a recipe for a main course that’s easy to prepare and that combines the cooking of meat and potatoes in one dish. In this recipe, pork chops, sweet potatoes and orange slices are cooked together for a tasty main course. This is a good dish to plan for the next time you have company. It has lots of flavour and looks as if you’ve spent hours in the kitchen. It’s also convenient to prepare without a lot of lastminute fussing. Because it takes about an hour to cook, you’ll have time to spend visiting with your guests.

Ottawa Senators fans’ video goes viral on web Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC sports – What started as a video, posted to Facebook for some friends to see, turned into over 25,000 views for two Orleans hockey fans. Alex Martel and François ThĂŠriault created two Backstreet Boys spoof music videos about their Ottawa Senators passion. This season, they decided to make another Sens video to another Backstreet Boys song, As Long As You Love Me. Each goes on a date with a girl, and then has the shocking realization that they don’t cheer for Ottawa, but rather the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens. “We decide that we’re not down,â€? Martel said. “Then we try and convert them back to Sens fans.â€? That video quickly took off and it didn’t take long for the Senators to ask the pair if they

could air it on the Jumbotron at one of the NHL games. “It was wicked, it was the coolest thing to see the work actually be on the big screen and people actually enjoy it,â€? Martel said. “We put it just on Facebook, so it was just kind of a friend thing, but it got rejected for copyright, so we put it on YouTube,â€? Martel said. “It ended up working out.â€? ThĂŠriault first text messaged Martel with the music video idea saying ‘Quit Playing Games with my Heart. Sens bad season video.’ “So I knew exactly what they meant,â€? said Martel. “We were making a music video. He threw it out there and I was down 100 per cent.â€? They got together Sens merchandise, like posters of traded Mike Fisher, and memorabilia from when the team was winning, and produced a video about the heartbreak of following what was a losing NHL team.

Uploaded at the end of last season, it got over 16,000 views and recognition from the NHL team. It’s not the first crazy thing he’s done to support his favourite team, says the selfdescribed “very passionateâ€? Senators fan. Several years ago, Chapel Hill residents got an interesting view of his front lawn, as he spray painted a giant Ottawa Senators logo on his parent’s grass. They both went to Garneau Catholic high school in Orleans, and Martel now studies at the University of Ottawa, working at the internal Zoom Productions film house, and ThĂŠriault attends university in Montreal. More videos could be in the future but they’re waiting to be inspired by another quality idea before rushing back. No matter what, their support for the Ottawa hockey team won’t change. “I’d do anything for the Sens,â€? Martel said.

Orleans skaters return from British Columbia with bronze medals.

Ottawa speed skaters bring home national medal Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC sports – Three Orleans skaters from the Gloucester Concordes Speed Skating Club returned from British Columbia with bronze medals from the national short-track speed skating championship. The Concordes made up 75 per cent of the Ontario 3,000-metre relay team, skating alongside Taylor Schmidt from Cambridge, and edged out a strong British Columbia team to take home the medal. “We’re a fairly big club, we’re a fairly strong club, but we’re not the biggest club in Ontario by any means,� said head coach David Morrison. “But we consistently punch above our weight.� Samantha Morrison, 20, Hannah Morrison, 17 and Gabrielle St. Germain, 17, all represented the club in the neo senior/junior A category for skaters aged 17 to 23 years old. The Morrison sisters, David’s daughters, finished back-to-back with Samantha

in seventh and Hannah in eight respectively, with St. Germain taking 13th place. “With 17 to 23-year-olds competing, it’s a fairly wide field. Since the two younger ones are only 17, it’s their first crack at that level of competition,� David said. Samantha also qualified for the A final and took a fourth place finish in the 1,500-metre event. They got the experience of racing at the Olympic-used Richmond oval, and standing on top of the Olympic podium used for the Vancouver Olympic Games. St. Germain attends Louis Riel in Blackburn Hamlet, and Hannah goes to Sir Wilfred Laurier in Orleans, the same school her sister Samantha attended before enrolling at the University of Calgary. After their nationals performance, all three expect to be training at the National Training Centre, where Samantha trained this past year, as the two younger athletes are set to graduate high school in Sep-

tember. They will get Quest for Gold funding to help pay for program fees, travel and extra training support like nutritionists that they can access through the training centre. “They don’t often articulate ‘I have an Olympic dream’ but what they do articulate is ‘I want to see how far I can go.’� David Morrison said, about the move to the training centre in Calgary. “The only way they can see what their true potential is, is to jump in the deep end.� David said that very few skating clubs can support the level of training needed for a national team level skater; St. Germain and Hannah will go from training four times a week, to six days a week often twice a day, year-round. “Anything is possible. They see other kids that have come through our club and come through the national team, and come through the Olympics,� David Morrison said. “And that’s why they say ‘I need to see how far I can go.’�

Metcalfe soccer program may fold without new leadership Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

the organizers as to what their child can do. “We just have fun, we don’t have any rules or expectations. We just do what the kids are able to do,” she said. Parents and siblings are also welcome to participate on the team for kids with special needs if they wish. The program is also accessible financially, with a $25 registration fee which covers participation, a freezie each week and a trophy at the end of the eight-week season. Children must bring their own soccer ball, cleats, shin pads and soccer socks. Parents also receive a coaching manual, as they are expected to help on the field in some capacity to run the drills and offer assistance to the kids. Parents can register their children through the side door of St. Catherine Catholic School in Metcalfe on Saturday, April 14 from 10 a.m. to noon and again on Saturday, April 28 from noon to 2 p.m. at the same location. The season will begin Thursday, May 10 weather permitting, and will end Thursday, June 28. For more information email metcalfesoccer@ gmail.com.

EMC news - Metcalfe’s non-competitive soccer program is open once again for registration, but organizer Joanne Daley said the program could end if no one steps up to take it over. Daley has been running the skills development program in McKendry Park for 12 years, after a previous non-competitive league was swallowed by the more competitive Ottawa South United league. However now that her children have grown up and moved on from the program, Daley said she has other volunteering commitments in the community and would like to pass the torch to another parent or group of parents to take it over. “I need three or four people who say they will organize the program next year. I’ll teach this year, guide next year and pass it on,” she said, noting that she’ll still be available as a resource. “Its not like I’m going anywhere, I’m still in the community.” On top of an organizing committee, Daley said there are also about 18 different jobs available in the league that she would like to fill

with 15 volunteers this year. Jobs include filling out field rental applications with the city, storing, updating and setting up promotional signs, monitoring emails and sending out newsletters, recruiting teen volunteers, organizing the registration nights and buying supplies. “None of the organizing details for Metcalfe Community Soccer are complicated, difficult or time consuming when taken alone, but added together they are a lot of work for one volunteer,” Daley said in her spring newsletter. The program is open to students in junior kindergarten to Grade 10, and all soccer players meet at McKendry Park at 6:30 p.m. on Thursdays in May and June, where they split into age groups to do their “Drills and Thrills.” At the end of the season, the registrants play in a fun game. Daley said most participants are in younger grades, because older kids often move on to more competitive leagues and teams. For the past three years the program has also offered a team for children with special needs. Daley said the parents play a huge role in guiding

Green bin blues at Rideau-Goulbourn schools Emma Jackson

Although several schools could not be reached for comment, two principals in the Manotick area were clear that the lack of green bins at their schools is not because they reject the program. Rick Haggar is the new principal at Rideau Valley Middle School in Kars, which is in transition to merge with Kars Public School in September. He said the merge has made it difficult to introduce new programs like the green bin program, although the two schools have maintained a “fantastic” recycling program and are actively looking for ways to be more eco-friendly. “We want to do a friendly environment committee for both schools,” he said. “(Kars teacher) Kirsten Baker is going to eco courses to see what’s next. You have to see what’s best for your school.” Haggar said Baker is researching how to implement the green bin program into the newly merged school. For new Manotick Public School principal Andrew Nordman, it’s a valuable program on his to-do list but he needs time to develop the logistics. “There are a lot of components that go into it. Getting the right awareness campaign around it, having a group championing it, and having the custodians being part of that group,” he said, noting that he’s new to the school this

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – All rural areas now have green bin service, but when it comes to green bins in schools, one rural ward hasn’t embraced the concept. According to a report released by environment committee chairwoman Maria McRae in March, the city’s Green Bins in Schools pilot project has shot off in almost every ward except RideauGoulbourn. Coun. Scott Moffatt’s ward only has one school, Munster Elementary School, participating in the program that offers the same green bin services to schools that the city gives to residential areas. Comparatively, Orleans ward boasts eleven schools out of the 143 participants across the city, the highest participation in any ward. Most wards sit between five and eight schools each. Even compared to other rural wards, which typically have fewer schools than city wards, Rideau-Goulbourn is behind. Cumberland has eight schools involved, Osgoode has four and West Carleton has three. Moffatt said the low participation is “not for lack of trying.” “I had a staff member that went around and no one really bought into it. We’ve got all these schools yet no one seems to want to,” he said.

year and has been concentrating on other things first. He said in order to implement the program and have the maximum educational value for the students, he wants to make sure the school is prepared to do it properly. “I want to do it right, I don’t want to start it then stop it because we’ve screwed up somehow. I want to make it sustainable,” he said. LANDFILL THREAT Moffatt warned that the more garbage residents and institutions like schools put in the landfill, the better chance Ottawa will need to build another landfill sometime in the next few decades. “We live in a rural ward, the last thing I want to do is open up a brand new landfill in my ward. In my opinion we need to find ways to move away from burying our garbage and the green bin is one of those ways,” he said. Moffatt said he’d like to see more schools participate in the Green Bins at School program, because it’s the city’s best option for diverting garbage right now. “The way the green bins came out was not great, the contract is not perfect, but we have to work with what we have. The concept of separating your waste for diversion is not a bad idea,” Moffatt said. Convincing the public that

pay for a service they aren’t receiving. City spokesperson Jocelyne Turner said that as of April 2 every rural resident in a single family home will receive

the green bin program. Across the city, most residents in condominiums, apartments and townhomes still do not have green bin service.

Sandy Hill works at community dynamic Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - With another year of parties behind almost behind them, some people living in Sandy Hill want to get a new project seeking to foster improved resident-student relations off the ground sooner rather than later. When Christopher Collmorgen tried to get home on March 17, he was unable to drive up his street nor the two adjacent streets due to students taking part in St. Patrick’s Day revelry. He said some of the parties had spilled onto the street, with some of the students throwing beer bottles and some urinating in the street. But angry as he was, the president of Action Sandy Hill and good neighbours committee member said all he wants is for the university-community partnership based “town and gown” committee to get up and running. “I feel like looking to the past to blame is not going to move us forward and get us where we want to be,” Collmorgen said. “Why fight? It doesn’t have to be like this. Let’s make this situation the catalyst for change.” For the past two months, the town and gown committee has been working at taking over the role currently served by the good neighbours committee, which had been created for residents to voice

The aftermath of a St. Patrick’s Day party in Sandy Hill has residents wanting more and more to reach out and find a way to live happily in their student-home owners community. their concerns about living in a neighbourhood with a high post-secondary student population. The pending town and gown committee would become a collective organization, featuring both student and non-student residents and would look to take a proactive approach to issues like the St.

Patrick’s Day parties. Currently, the town and gown committee is mired in procedure, as the University of Ottawa needs to discuss the terms of reference with their graduate and undergraduate student unions. In the meantime, the good neighbours committee continues to function and at their

March 19 meeting, Collmorgen said residents voiced their concerns about the amount and type of parties the neighbourhood has been dealing with. He admits he was angered by the events that had recently transpired, but said he understands such feelings don’t help the situation.

PET OF THE WEEK

First we have Lacocoon Dante, who is a 10-year old male red tabby Maine Coon. The Lacocoon part of his name is from the cattery in Lacolle, Quebec where he was born. We just call him Dante. He is so amenable that he doesn’t mind people picking him up. Then we have Dante’s sister, Domino, who is an 11-year old female tuxy. She weighs only 7.5 lbs. but is the queen of the house and presides over her two brothers (we also have Dylan who does not like to dress up). Domino is fearless and loves to ride in the car.

0405

Domino is a seasoned model and has an entire wardrobe of pretty dresses. In this one she is wearing her Minnie Mouse outfit. She is an equal opportunity lap-sitter. Domino also appears on a blog she shares with her brothers, called “Wendy’s 3-D Cats” at http:// wendys3-dcats.blogspot.com.

BILLY

LEO

ID#A140129

ID#A139840

Meet Billy, a neutered male, sable and white German Shepherd mix. This handsome boy is just over a year old and was brought to the shelter as a stray on January 27. He is full gown at 22 kilograms – a medium-sized bundle of energy ready to settle in to his forever home. Billy loves to go for daily walks – he is a very active dog! He loves to play with toys but sometimes needs guidance and he needs to learn how to share them. He’s looking for a forever home with teens and adults who can take an active role in his training. He’d rather not live with cats and would be happiest as the only dog in his new home. Billy benefitted for participating in the OHS L.E.A.D. (Leadership Education with Adolescents and Dogs) program, where he learned basic obedience and socialization. He’s got a strong foundation and knows his basic commands, but he needs owners who will provide consistency so he can truly excel.

Pet Adoptions This neutered male, brown tabby Domestic Longhair cat is about seven years old. He was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on March 26. Leo loves to have his ears rubbed and to tell you about everything about his day. He has an inquisitive mind and a regal presence. Leo gets along best with people who appreciate a strong-willed, spirited cat, and he needs an owner who can handle an independent-minded feline who loves being petted, but who can also be a rough player. No small children or other pets in Leo’s forever home, please! He wants owners who he can have all to himself!

GAINING A BABY DOESN’T MEAN LOSING A PET Every year hundreds of animals are surrendered to the Ottawa Humane Society when a new baby arrives. Myths and false information about cats and dogs frighten new parents into giving up their animal friend, who could be a warm and loving companion for a child. We’re busting the myths associated with pets and infants so that you can ensure your pet stays with you and your growing family. Myth: Living with pets causes birth defects. Fact: While toxoplasmosis, a diseasecausing parasite found in cat feces, can cause serious birth defects, it is more commonly found in uncooked or undercooked meat. Toxoplasmosis is very uncommon in Canada and transmission through the family cat is extremely rare. Tip: Have someone other than the pregnant woman clean the litter box. If the pregnant woman must clean the litter box, she should wear rubber gloves and a face mask, and thoroughly wash

“We have a lot of work to do and I have a fantastic group of people to do it, so let’s get started,” Collmorgen said. In the meantime he said the university is going to have to help. Alastair Mullin, the university’s representative on the good neighbours committee, said it is hard for the universi-

ty to take action after students leave the campus. The university can only encourage students to be good neighbours. But Collmorgen thinks more needs to be done. “Why not have a code of conduct?” he asked. “When students act out like they did, there is no policy for the university to fall back on. Students have no consequences for their actions.” Mullin said at this time a code of conduct is not something the university is contemplating, but something the new committee, once it is running, can discuss. Collmorgen is trying to stay positive. “We are trying to build a community for everyone, including students and this committee is the best way to make it happen.” Collmorgen said. The community association as well has attempted to reach out to students. In the fall Action Sandy Hill hosts a barbecue for the students and at the end of the school year, they give out prizes to student residences who have been good neighbours. The association also makes an effort to let students know about some of the universityled initiatives, such as the dump-and-run, a free program where students can leave used furniture or items for other students to take.

her hands afterward. She should also wear gloves while gardening to avoid coming into contact with feces from other outdoor cats, and thoroughly wash her hands afterward. Consult your physician if you are concerned about the risks of toxoplasmosis. Myth: My pet will get angry and hurt my child. Fact: While all pets react differently, you should never leave the baby alone with your pet, even after the baby is crawling or walking. This way you can keep an eye on the situation and protect your child from an exuberant pet (and protect your pet from an enthusiastic child). Tip: Make sue you spend time with your pet and baby together, so your pet views the newcomer and the new relationship as a positive experience. Myth: Infants are more susceptible to pet-related allergies. Fact: Many allergies are to things like laundry detergents or new food.

Tip: If your child shows symptoms of allergies, consult an allergist. Don’t assume allergy symptoms, if they arise, are caused by a pet. Myth: The addition of a new family member is a disruption too great for your pet to tolerate. Fact: A new family member may be difficult for your pet, and all animals react if their routine is disrupted, or they feel they have been displaced, but these reactions can be minimized by careful preparation and working with your pet before you bring home the baby. Tip: Gradually accustom your pet to spending less time with you. Avoid drastically decreasing attention after the baby comes home, which will likely make your pet feel stressed. If your pet is particularly attached to the motherto-be, another family member should develop a closer relationship with the animal to ensure that the animal doesn’t suddenly feel abandoned when the new baby arrives.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly!
