The Carleton Ravens basketball team celebrates its gold medal after an easy win over the Lakehead Thunderwolves at the 2013 CIS men’s basketball finals at Scotiabank Place on Sunday, March 10. The Ravens ran up a 13-point lead before the Thunderwolves could get on the scoreboard.

EMC sports – The Carleton Ravens men’s basketball team achieved an unprecedented accomplishment by winning their record-breaking ninth championship after an impressive 92-42 victory over the Lakehead Thunderwolves on March 10.

The Ravens entered the Canadian Interuniversity Sport Final 8 with eight championship rings along with the University of Victoria but that changed after the Vikes were eliminated.

From the start of the game the Ravens seemed to be on mission to enter the history books.

Dave Smart, Carleton’s head coach, said he was thrilled by how his team defended. “I think we had some struggles offensively, but defensively and reboundingwise I think they battled against different types of opponents,� said Smart.

Rowdy Ravens fans waved thundersticks as they struggled to take pictures and have a glimpse of the team’s stars as they were crowned champions at the Scotiabank Place.

The 50-point winning margin doubled the existing record for the ďŹ nal. In 1964 Windsor defeated UBC 94-70.

Ravens forward and tournament MVP Thomas Scrubb was the top scorer in the ďŹ nal with 17 points and eight rebounds.

Four other Ravens, Philip Scrubb, Springer-Williams, Tyson Hinz, and Dan Penner, hit double digit points too. “I am just happy that team won,â€? said Thomas, adding that he played hard and did whatever he could to help his team win. “It’s been a long year,â€? he said. “It feels great to ďŹ nish it off with a win,

especially being at home in front of the home crowd, it really makes it a lot better.�

The Ravens ran up a 13-point lead before the Thunderwolves could get on the score board.

Third-year Ravens guard Philip Scrubb said the team never expected to win by that much. Philip ďŹ nished with 15 points on the night, two behind his brother Thomas.

Earlier, the bronze medal game between Ottawa and Acadia was decided in overtime with the Gee-Gees coming out on top 92-85.

extremely dangerous,” Baker said.

Last year, she added, two people died from falling through the ice in the spring and emergency services responded to more than 78 ice and waterway-related calls.

“It can take but only a second,” Baker said of falling through the ice.

She added that if someone does fall through the ice, residents are warned not to try to save them, but to call 911.

“One can never tell the true depth or the thickness of the ice by the colour on the surface,” she said.

The message, Baker added, is an important one for parents and dog owners who use city parks that boarder a waterway.

Const. Alana Fong offered safety tips in case a person were to fall through the ice, noting the one-10one rule.

• The cold shock of falling in the water will pass after one minute, at which point the victim must calm themselves down and slow their breathing • The victim will have about 10 minutes of meaningful movement before they begin to lose muscle control.

During this time, the victim should try to get horizontal in the water and kick and push as much as possible.

• The victim will have one hour before hyperthermia sets in, depending on the type of clothing worn.

“Try to work towards the spot where you fell in, and move into the best position to pull yourself up or out,” Fong said.

The coalition also warns pet owners to keep their dogs on a leash near the rivers or ponds.

The Ottawa Drowning Prevention Coalition was created in 2003 to help prevent incidents of drowning, neardrowning and other water-related injuries in Ottawa.

Organ donor champion urges women to donate Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news - HÊlène Campbell’s life would have been cut short if it wasn’t for the generosity of an organ donor.

The double-lung transplant recipient was the keynote speaker at the annual International Women’s Day breakfast hosted by Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans on March 8. “I can’t believe how much has happened since I received my lungs. I am now able to dance and breathe well,�

Campbell said.

Over the last two years, Campbell has shared her personal journey as an organ recipient with the public and has brought international awareness to the cause. “My experience was an eye opening,� she said. “When you speak out about something when you are actually suffering, people have the time to listen.�

Deans said she invited Campbell with hopes that her message will inspire people to give the ultimate gift of life. “It was a great opportunity for us to hear about her incredible journey,� she said.

For 17 years, GloucesterSouthgate Deans has hosted

the International Women’s Day annual breakfast. “International Women’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments women have made both globally and locally,� said Deans.

I can’t think of a better way to showcase the strength and courage that a woman can embody than through our guest speaker.

DIANE DEANS

“On this day, we recognize the impact that women have on the issues affecting our communities, as well as the important role they play in improving the lives of all.

Campbell shot to fame when she successfully campaigned to get Justin Bieber to tweet in support of organ donation awareness.

She said the campaign helped her get a second shot

to life. “Honestly, it is just remarkable the chance I received and I am so grateful to the donor and that family,� she said.

Campbell said she was humbled by the legacy left by the family that offered to donate their loved one’s lungs to her. “Being an organ donor they know they are not getting anything back by giving their loved one’s organ, except they feel better knowing that someone else can breathe easier,� said Campbell. “I am breathing easier because of that person and I am so grateful for the gift I have.�

Deans said Campbell’s presence, her passion and her vitality for life are infectious and would lead her to new heights. “I can’t think of a better way to showcase the strength and courage that a woman can embody than through our guest speaker,� Deans said.

City to crack down on derelict properties Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Owners of rundown vacant buildings can expect a crackdown from bylaw officials, Mayor Jim Watson said as he took a hardline stance on derelict properties on March 7.

“No one wants a rundown building in their neighbourhood,” the mayor said. They detract from the value of neighbouring properties, discourage new businesses from locating nearby and create safety concerns, the mayor said.

The crackdown means the city will insist that property owners keep up with the basic maintenance required to keep their properties safe.

Until now, the city had only been enforcing minimum standards because staff believed it would encourage property owners to take matters into their own hands. For the most part, that tactic has worked, he said.

But not in all cases.

Under Ottawa’s current bylaws, the city can force property owners to fix the roof and paint and maintain the building’s facade, repair broken windows, clean up debris and garbage and ensure that protective boards called hoarding are painted and maintained to blend in with the building, “not becoming a mishmash of posters,” Watson said.

If the work isn’t done in the required amount of time, the city will send in a contractor do the work and add the cost to the owner’s property tax bill.

Watson said the city does that “on a regular basis. According to city staff, the city has invoiced the owners of six derelict properties a total of $3,886 so far this year, but the city doesn’t track whether those properties were vacant or occupied. The city contracted $130,330 in repairs for 85 properties last year.

“These are not unreasonable demands. It’s just common sense for any property owners,” the mayor said. “Show some pride in your city and show some respect to your friends and neighbours.”

“It’s a drag on the economic potential of neighbourhoods like this and it’s something that needs to be addressed if we aspire to more,” Hume added.

Watson singled out one company in particular – Claude Lauzon Group – which is already taking the city to court in an effort to get permission to tear down a decaying school it owns at the corner of Cumberland and Murray streets in Lowertown. The conflict between the property management company and the city escalated last week with Lauzon sending letters to councillors Mathieu Fleury and Peter Hume threatening defamation lawsuits for comments made to Le Droit newspaper and the CBC regarding the rundown state of the old school Lauzon Group owns at 287 Cumberland St. “The city will not be intimidated by legal tactics from derelict property owners,” Watson said.

A lawyer for Claude Lauzon Group did not return calls before this

Hume said he doesn’t regret any comments he made.

“If anything, the comments that I and Coun. Fleury and others have

MAPLEWOOD IS SCHEDULED TO OPEN SUMMER 2013.

made have engendered a wider public debate that, at the end of the day, is going to make our city a better place.”

Fleury’s ward, Rideau-Vanier, is home to a concentration of rundown buildings, including the school at 287 Cumberland St., so he has taken a particular interest in fixing the issue.

“You might own commercial, residential or institutional buildings that are vacant, but from street level, they shouldn’t (look) vacant,” Fleury said.

Hume said the issue spans the entire city, and it’s not just about properties that have a heritage designation.

“This is an issue that communities

face whether you’re on Bank Street in Old Ottawa South or you’re in my community on Faircrest Heights that has a building that was damaged by fire,” Hume said.

The city wants to see vibrant, “complete” streets and it’s looking at a number of options to ensure the upkeep of buildings is part of that.

On April 18, city staff will present options for addressing derelict buildings at the community and protective services committee.

Possible options include denying property owners vacancy discounts on their taxes, requiring a vacancy permit if a building remains unoccupied – something that’s done in Winnipeg, or requiring fire-safety plans.

Safety review lists Bronson cycling fixes Dalton McGuinty, MPP

Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news – In an ironic twist brought on

by Mother Nature, trafďŹ c was barely moving as residents reviewed planned upgrades aimed at reducing speeds and increasing cycling safety on Bronson Avenue.

An open house held at Carleton University on a snowy Feb. 27 gave the public a ďŹ rst look at recommendations stemming from the Bronson Avenue operational study and safety review.

The review was initiated

by Capital Coun. David Chernushenko following the October death of Carleton student and cyclist Krista Johnson near the Bronson Avenue canal bridge.

Broken up into shortterm and medium-term ďŹ xes, the recommendations will be put into a staff report containing public feedback and presented to the city’s transportation committee in April.

Chernushenko was pleased with the “surprisingly good� turnout at the open house, saying he heard positive feedback from cyclists, pedestrians and motorists alike.

Ottawa South

MY OFFICE IS HERE TO HELP!

SUBMITTED

This illustration shows the medium-term improvements proposed for the Bronson Avenue canal bridge, aimed at improving cycling safty and calming vehicle flow. The full scope of the fixes were shown at a public open house held last week at Carleton University. “This is about making Bronson safer and calmer and not just a better place to cycle,� said Chernushenko. “There’s been a very, very positive response.�

Problem areas listed in the review’s ďŹ ndings include vehicle speed on the stretch of Bronson south of Sunnyside Avenue, the pedestrian crosswalk at Sunnyside, vehicle turning lanes entering the Carleton campus, and the turning lanes on both sides of the Bronson canal bridge.

The short-term ďŹ xes

include shortened rightturn lanes at Findlay Avenue (northbound) and Colonel By (southbound), regulatory signs alerting motorists to cyclists at both ends of the bridge, a relocated bus stop and pedestrian crosswalk at Brewer Park, upgraded (brighter) trafďŹ c signal lenses and bollards separating the existing bike lane from trafďŹ c lanes. “What I think we can have here if carried out as a package is lots of small-to-medium-type ďŹ xes that altogether

achieve better safety,� said Chernushenko. “The short-term recommendations are small changes with modest costs, designed to get the ball rolling. The great thing is that most of these (measures) don’t even require council approval. Myself and city staff have delegated authority (to approve the measures).�

Medium-term ďŹ xes would include the addition of a trafďŹ c signal by the Colonel By on/off ramps as well as a realignment of those

roadways.

Chernushenko hopes the measures are all approved in order to provide the best beneďŹ t. He added that small changes could be added to the recommendations during the design phase.

Vehicle trafďŹ c would likely not be impeded in terms of travel time by the proposed changes.

Once received by committee and council, work could begin on the short-term ďŹ xes in late spring.

Medium-term ďŹ xes could begin in the fall following design work.

Ottawa recognized as agefriendly city at launch event Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Ottawa marked the launch of its plan for making the city more liveable for seniors by announcing it is now part of the World Health Organization’s network of age-friendly cities.

The global designation reaffirms the intent of the city’s older adult plan: to ensure the city’s services and infrastructure contribute to healthy aging and a good quality of life for seniors, Mayor Jim Watson said.

“This is a pivotal moment for our city as we move towards a new way of providing services,” Watson said during the March 6 launch event held at the Council on Aging of Ottawa’s headquarters in the Diocesan Centre in Alta Vista.

In the next 20 years, the number of seniors in Ottawa will double, Watson

said. For the first time ever there will be more seniors living in the city than children under the age of five.

Sometimes it’s hard to grasp the impact of that, Watson said, so he offered an example.

The first time he served as mayor from 1997 to 2000, Watson said he used to get around three or four requests each year to send out certificates congratulating residents on their 100th birthdays. Last year, Watson’s office received 27 requests.

“We are on the cusp of a significant demographic shift,” agreed Kathy Yach, president of the council’s board.

It means the city will have to do things a little differently to serve its aging population. The older adult plan is a framework to look at how the city can “empower and support” its older residents, Watson said.

From lengthening the walk time on pedestrian signals to putting out more yellow boxes of grit for residents to use on sidewalks, there many small and large ways the city can better support seniors, said Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, chairman of the city’s community and protective services committee.

Taylor also highlighted a new city initiative – the Older Adult Activity Guide, which is published on ottawa. ca and in hard copy. It’s a compendium of all recreational services and programs the city offers for older residents and it’s something people asked for during consultations on the older adult plan, Taylor said.

As a member of the World Healthy Organization’s network, Ottawa will LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND have access to international experts on aging and a chance to take part in Mayor Jim Watson chats with Nepean Laura Mogawie, right, during the collaborative activities with other age- launch of the city’s older adult plan at the Council on Aging of Ottawa’s headquarters. friendly communities.

We all need to heed flood warning

A

fter a winter of significant snowfall, everyone needs to take extra care around the waterways of the capital region this spring.

According to the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, the snowpack in the area is at the second-highest level recorded since measurements began in 1974, posing a significant risk to low-lying areas in the watershed. If we get significant rainfall this spring, that will only increase the flooding risk.

The conservation authority indicates a flood risk is not imminent, but the conditions are ripe for there to be a significant threat as temperatures rise.

Residents living in traditionally flood-prone areas are advised to watch for flood warnings that could be potentially issued by the conservation authority.

This flood risk is borne not just by those who live near rivers and lakes in the area, but also by those who enjoy spending recreational time in city parks and other riverside areas. Especially at risk are children and pets, who could easily stray too close to high water and be pulled under by swift currents. This means parents need to explain the dangers to their children and keep them away from moving water. Dog owners likewise should keep their pets on a leash whenever they are near rivers

or ponds.

Children and pets are also prone to venturing out on the rapidly thinning ice. Recently the Ottawa Drowning Prevention Coalition warned about the risks of thin ice, reminding residents that â&#x20AC;&#x153;one can never tell the true depth or the thickness of the ice by the colour on the surface.â&#x20AC;? The best advice is to simply stay off the ice.

Emergency services responded to more than 75 ice and waterway related calls last spring, and two people drowned after falling through the ice, according to the coalition. With the increased flooding risk this spring, these numbers will only increase if people fail to remain wary of the dangers.

These tragedies are something no one wants to experience and it falls to all of us to stay safe near waterways this spring. Several authorities have made clear the risks presented by high river levels and thinning ice, it is now our responsibility to ensure everyone heeds those warnings.

The last thing a parent, sibling, friend or pet owner wants to do is lose a loved one. Stay aware of the risks, heed the warnings and stay away from area rivers, ponds and lakes until the threat has passed.

Examining the sad decline of the Canadian snowbird

T

here are people in this town who used to love the snow and the cold and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love it so much any more.

It used to be that they could never get enough of it. They would look forward to skating and skiing and frolicking outdoors, coming inside only rarely to change toques and eat some soup.

Going south in the winter was for sissies, these winter-lovers would say. Canada is winter, they would say, after Gilles Vigneault, and a true Canadian would never escape it.

Spring was so much better if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d endured all of winter. When spring came, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d earned it. Not so, if you spent some of the winter months on beaches in southern climes.

And then there was all that hassle about airline security and customs and lineups at the border. Why would you want to go through all that?

Then, if you did, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just be another in the legion of snowbirds, guys with no tans wearing Bermuda shorts and lining up for dinner in Florida restaurants at five in the afternoon, hanging out with a whole bunch of people from Toronto at the Blue Jays spring training ballpark talking about bargain motels.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing about going south. You

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town become a stereotype. On top of that, it costs a lot of money to be a stereotype. Why would anybody want to do that?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to answer the question, except to say that for all of us, or at least some of us, eventually the cold wears us down. Not just the cold, but the early darkness and the lack of sunshine during the day.

This being the modern age, there is a name for it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seasonal affective disorder (SAD) defined by the U.S. National Library of Medicine as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a kind of depression that occurs at a certain time of the year, usually in the winter.â&#x20AC;?

The fact that there is a recognized disorder lends a kind of respectability to not liking cold and wanting to go somewhere where it

isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to deal with my disorderâ&#x20AC;? carries a lot more weight than saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to fly south and go hit some golf balls and shop at factory outlets.â&#x20AC;?

Furthermore, being in possession of a disorder brings with it a certain persuasiveness: while some close friends or relatives might be inclined to scoff at your stated need for warmth and sunshine, they will be a bit frightened that, should you be talked into sticking around, you might give the disorder to them.

So off you go then, with your disorder and hardly any guilt feelings at all. The only proviso is that you had better be â&#x20AC;&#x153;curedâ&#x20AC;? by the time you get back. It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do to be grumping around just like you were before, only with a suntan.

You should be warned, before you set off, that you may encounter other types of disorders on your travels. Frozen Foot, Or Worse, Disorder, for example. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one that frequently afflicts Canadians, who are so determined to enjoy the warm ocean that they spend hours standing in it, even when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freezing cold. The inability to admit that it the ocean is freezing cold stems from the cost of getting to it and a thrifty Canadianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

need to get his moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth.

An extremely common travel disorder, although not publicized much, is called Interstate affective disorder (IAD) which punishes those who travel by car. Those afflicted with IAD lose their ability to recognize whether they are in the restaurant they were in yesterday, the one they are in right now or the one they will be in tomorrow. They also lose the ability to distinguish one U.S. state from another, coming to believe that the entire nation consists of groupings of chain restaurants, hotels and gas stations scattered around an interstate interchange.

Sad, is what it is.

Bring on Spring with a Trip to the Ottawa Gatineau International Auto Show

by Brian Turner

A growing number of new and used vehicle shoppers are putting off the part of the process they dread the most until the very end; visiting their auto retailer. With the ever-increasing web presence that automakers, reviewers, consumer analysts, dealerships, and even independent used-car lots have, car buyers have a lot of choice when it comes to research and pricing shopping for their next set of wheels.

The reason why more and more people are putting more time into online homework surrounding this task is their assumption that auto retailers are staffed by aggressive sales consultants and managers who need to be avoided like the plague.

The down-side of all this off-site research and comparison shopping is fewer

and fewer buyers get a chance to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;try onâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; more than one or two models of a vehicle before they make their decision. And when it comes to choosing a vehicle for a couple or a family, or even yourself, making sure it fits everyone who will use it is a very important part of the process.

Convention Centre and that means something for everyone.â&#x20AC;?

From exotic super-cars to mods and rods to a gasoline alley filled with every type of auto accessory and service imaginable, the show is the place for the serious buyer and auto enthusiast to both get their fill.

The perfect time and place to dispel the manic motor-sales rep myth and to try on as many vehicles as you want is coming up from March 21st to 24th at the Ottawa Convention Centre when the Ottawa Gatineau International Auto Show cruises back into the Capital for its 27th year. Show producer Peter Ginsberg took a few moments from a very hectic schedule to point out some of the highlights of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The show has grown from 15 manufacturers in its early years to 25 automakers today. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have over 250 vehicles on three levels at the

For the car buyer, the show is the only place to find every make sold in Canada under one roof with knowledgeable staff to answer all your questions with a no-pressure approach. Most of the models will be available for tire-kickers to open the doors, check under the hood, and try a seat or two. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ultimate in interactive comparison

shopping. The show is open from 10 am to 10 pm Thursday through Saturday and from 10 am to 5 pm on Sunday. Thursday is Military day with any service member getting $5 off their admission by simply showing their ID. Saturday is Family Day with a special early-bird package-admission price for 2 adults and 2 children of $35.

Learning Partnership program to fundraise for Big Brothers, Big Sisters Students plugged in to working world Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news – A Grade 4 class at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic has turned into entrepreneurs.

Thanks to a project with the Learning Partnership – an organization that promotes public education – the students are developing a hiring guide

Students learn that even the kids that launder and fold clothes for a sale are just as important as the people who prepare the presentation and go out in the community to fundraise.

GORDON FERGUSON

Carol-Anne Aubrey, back left, poses with her class at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School on the last day of Catholic Education Week. Aubrey’s class will launch a hiring guide on April 12 which aims to link local employers with qualified staff. to help Barrhaven businesses connect with qualified employees.

Teacher, Carol-Anne Aubrey said students met with more than 30 business managers from Feb. 1 to 20 in order to find out what qualities they were looking for in employees. Students would volunteer to visit business in groups of two or three and ask managers what tools they use when hiring.

The goal of the project with the

partnership was to find something that helps out the community. Aubrey said students did research to determine where their efforts would be best suited.

“They talked to a lot of people in the community in the early stages of the project,” Aubrey said. “Several residents talked about issues like traffic. Students can’t do much about that.

They also talked about seniors being

lonely, which we intend to do something about that at a later date.”

But the difficulty finding and keeping qualified staff in the suburb was something that Aubrey said her class felt they could help with.

“They had a questionnaire and would ask if they (those doing the hiring) used social media or other similar tools,” Aubrey said.

If the group visiting the business

happened to miss the manager they would leave a link to a Google document so the questionnaire could be answered online.

They even enlisted the help of Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, who has promised to make a statement about the project in the provincial legislature before the guide’s launch in April.

Gordon Ferguson, an executive

at Canada Post who works with the Learning Partnership has been visiting the class once a week to talk to students about making their project a success.

He said 240 schools across the country are currently participating in similar projects that help students to learn the value of things like project management and presentation. He said getting students thinking about the practical use of their skills as early as possible helps to open their minds to potential career opportunities.

“Students learn that even the kids that launder and fold clothes for a sale are just as important as the people who prepare the presentation and go out in the community to fundraise,” Ferguson said.

Ferguson said the project in Barrhaven is needed because retailers can lose students or recent grads to other parts of the city.

“I talked to a Starbucks manager who has gone through five employees since January,” he said. “If you look at hiring practices and address things like goals and transportation issues then you have someone who really wants to work for you and will stick around.”

The project will culminate in a hiring guide, which will be available for purchase to Barrhaven businesses and people looking for work. The proceeds will go to Big Brothers, Big Sisters.

Aubrey said the students interviewed several charities before deciding on the recipient of the hiring guide’s proceeds.

“The representative said he was really surprised with level of questions asked by the students,” she said.

The hiring guide itself will debut at a launch party to be held at the school on April 12 at 7:30 p.m.

Provincial cash to Ottawa life-skills program Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - A one-time grant from the Ontario government will help bring new opportunities to Ottawa residents with developmental disabilities.

Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli visited the offices of the Ottawa-Carleton Association for Per-

sons with Developmental Disabilities on March 8 to deliver a cheque for $37,000. The money, sourced from the Ministry of Community and Social Services, will help the association train instructors and deliver new programming aimed at fostering independence for the individuals it serves.

A total of 60 adults with developmental disabilities are taking part in

the Life-Skills Program, which was created in February.

“Projects like this improve the quality of life for our most vulnerable residents,” said Chiarelli. “I’m pleased this funding will also provide the training necessary to continue and expand this program.”

The association is run by a volunteer board of directors with strong community ties.

The approach the organization takes towards its clients is a holistic one. Its functions include individual service planning, community participation planning, advocacy for clients and the services they use and other issues relating to achieving personal independence.

“We are moving forward on building a good life for people with developmental disabilities,” said Bill

Cowie, the association’s chairman.

“This funding will help us achieve that, as we help them to better plan for themselves.”

Projects selected for funding by the province are vetted through a competitive process, with applicants required to demonstrate their ability to improve services and supports for their clients, while encouraging efficiencies in the sector.

Hopewell’s first book fair raises thousands Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Hopewell Public School’s recent book fair was a huge success, helping the school get one step closer to raising enough money to renovate its aging library.

The first organized fundraiser book fair was held on March 1-2 at Hopewell’s gymnasium. The Hopewell Children’s Book Sale was organized by the school council in an effort to help raise money the school’s library renovations.

Jennifer Small, the school council chairwoman, said the council came up with the idea to holding the book fair earlier this year. The council was hoping to raise $5,000 through the sale and managed to slightly surpass that number.

“I found the event was so successful, not just in reaching our fundraising goal, but it was a nice community event,” Small said.

The sale raised more

R0011954788

than $5,300 for the renovations.

Small credited the many parents who volunteered either before or after school to sort and price the donated books.

At the start of the book fair, there were more than 5,000 books up for grabs.

By time the sale was over, Small said there were a number of books left over, which the council left for teachers to pick and choose from. Any remaining books will be donated to other schools and pre-schools in the area.

Along with some earlier fundraising initiatives, Small said plans to give the library a makeover are moving closer to reality.

“The library hasn’t been updated in years, maybe decades,” Small said. “It needs a facelift and it needs to reflect the needs of the students.”

The council and the school have been working together on the renovation plans.

Ashbury youth receives community builder award Avid volunteer, teacher for Boys and Girls Club Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Bessie Zhang started volunteering with the Boys and Girls Club when she was 14 years-old.

Since first stepping foot in the Britannia clubhouse, Zhang admits she became captivated by the motivated youth at the club, so much so that she started a music program and a summer camp for the children to learn how to play piano, write songs and learn new languages.

Now 18, the young Ashbury College student says she would not have traded a moment of her time at the clubhouse with those children.

This past year, the United Way Ottawa paid tribute to Zhang’s volunteering efforts at the Boys and Girls Club by presenting her with a Community Builder Award.

“This is a huge honour,” she said.

Zhang officially received her award during a school assembly, where she admits she was completely shocked by the news.

“I do what I do, because I love it,” she said. “Volunteering is so unbelievable, I am an only child and going there I have a hundred kids that make me feel like I have brothers and sisters.”

Zhang was one of 49 people and organizations the United Way presented a Community Award to in 2012.

United Way’s Community Builder Award program awards outstanding volunteers, organizations, partnerships, agencies and neighbourhood groups. Those names were added to the Scotiabank Wall of Inspiration at city hall on March 7.

A Barrhaven native, Zhang started two programs at the Ottawa west clubhouse, a music program called Time to Shine and a language learning summer camp called Viva la Vida.

“What actually drove me to start the programs is being exposed to the kids who are so much like me, but have had such different experiences,” Zhang said. “I felt it was only

The United Way Ottawa awarded Ashbury College student Bessie Zhang with a Community Builder Award for her volunteering efforts at the Boys and Girls Club. Zhang and 49 other community builder award winners’ names were added to the Scotiabank Wall of Inspiration at city hall on March 7. natural to give them the opportunities I have.”

Although Zhang has helped create new opportunities for those children, she credits the clubhouse to helping her grow up.

“I am proud, not so much

of the program, but of the kids who are choosing to spend their time to learn how to play the piano or learn to write songs,” Zhang said. “They choose to come and put their minds to it and learn these new talents. I think above all

I am proud of the kids.”

The music program teaches participants how to do things like play the piano or write a song. Even though she has been a piano student since the age of nine, Zhang had experience with song writing, but

decided to add it to her program, because of one particular girl.

“This young girl was singing a song and it was so pretty,” Zhang said. “I asked her what the song was and she said she made it up. I realized then that I needed to incorporate songwriting into the program. I wanted to give her the chance to learn how to song write.”

Zhang said she purchased the book Songwriting for Dummies to teach herself the basics. From there, she said her students and her learned from each other.

There are currently 60 young people signed up for her program and each year the group performs concerts at seniors’ centres in the city.

Her language learning program, she said, also stemmed from wanted to give the youth at the club more opportunities to learn.

The summer program offered the children a chance to learn Spanish through playing games and activities.

“Its funny, even now in the winter, some kids still want to come and talk to me in the languages they have learned,” she said.

EMC lifestyle - It’s a sure sign of spring when the first bunches of Canadian asparagus appear at the neighbourhood market.

Local produce is the freshest you can buy and is always a healthy, nutritious choice.

Adding freshly picked, locally grown asparagus into your breakfast or brunch is a simple, unexpected way to energize your body with essential vitamins and minerals and start the day off right.

Fibre is also an essential nutrient and a vital part of healthy eating.

Local entrepreneur selected as a Business Woman of the Year Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Rebecca Page, founder of Concierge Home Services, moved from the audience to the stage this year at the Women’s Business Network’s Businesswomen of the Year gala.

The women’s network for entrepreneurs honours women who excel in their chosen business every year. This year the gala was held March 5 at Sala San Marco on Preston Street.

Page was selected as a finalist in the entrepreneur category.

“I used to be on the board of the WBN, so it was a switch to be up on stage,” Page said.

She said it’s important to recognize women who succeed in the business world because they face challenges their male counterparts don’t have to.

“The woman is really the centre of the household, still,” Page said. “So, a woman who succeeds in the busi-

ness world really has two fulltime jobs.”

Page described the school pickups, homework and dinner prep as her “three-shift day,” where she works a full day at the office, then comes home, makes dinner and then eeks out time after the little one in is bed to check emails.

Her business is about helping her customers find the time.

It’s a one-stop shop system for home cleaning, pet sitting and home checks.

“We do everything from the regular house cleaning to duct cleaning or pet sitting,” Page said, adding Michelle Hamelin, the owner of the Barrhaven franchise was nominated for Best HomeBased Business Award at the Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce’s annual awards gala last fall.

The business started out of an unfinished corner of Page’s basement, where she took calls in between watching her toddler daughter playing nearby. It has grown

to their location on Bank Street with 17 employees and another four working out of the franchise location in Barrhaven.

“It’s a bit like watching your baby grow up,” Page said. “First it was hiring the first employee, and then it was the franchises. Now I hardly deal with clients directly at all. It was tough to let go sometimes, but great to see things growing.”

Page said organizations like the Women’s Business Network provide positive role models for young women and help them to consider something other than “catching the right guy and having babies.”

“Even the school system focuses on getting a job. No one really presents young women with the idea of starting their own business,” Page said. “It’s not for everyone, but it should be presented as a viable option.”

ATV ride nets $44,500 for cancer Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first ATV Ride for Dad kicked fundraising into high gear in early March, bringing in $44,450 for prostate cancer research and support.

The Nation Valley ATV Club based in Winchester led 256 riders on the 100-kilometre trail on March 2, attracting riders from across the province and raising more than four times their goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our original goal was $10,000 total,â&#x20AC;? said club vice-president Mike Chicoine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was far beyond our expectations.â&#x20AC;?

He said the $26,000 raised in rider pledges took them above and beyond what they expected, and combined with $4,400 from the silent auction, $7,500 from registration fees and a

$5,000 donation from Scotiabank the total amount was staggering.

Riders came from Niagara Falls, Hamilton, Barrie and across the Ottawa Valley to participate in the event.

The riders started at the Mountain Township Agricultural Hall in South Mountain and enjoyed about 100 km of groomed winter trails between Winchester and Kemptville, stopping along the way at two warming fires and to eat a hot lunch. Returning to the hall, riders were served dinner and raised an additional $4,415 with a silent auction. Local businesses supported the event with thousands of dollars of auction items and prizes for the riders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day it was the riders, their friends, family and coworkers that made the biggest contribution, raising a total of $26,041.50

in pledges for the Ride for Dad charity,â&#x20AC;? Chicoine said.

He said he hopes the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success will encourage other clubs to plan their own rides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The support is there from the community and the riders,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All it takes is some people to organize it and the event kind of takes on a life of its own.â&#x20AC;?

The second annual Nation Valley Chapter ATV Ride for Dad is already scheduled for March 1, 2014.

Chicoine said he hopes the next ride will be bigger and better. Members of the organizing group want to bring in 300 riders and extend their fundraising challenge beyond Ontario Federation of ATV chapter members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to just expand the competitive nature of it with other clubs,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Snowsuit Fund organizer Patti-Anne Scrivens, Greely Foodland owner Kit MacKinnon, Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, Minister of Health Leona Aglukkaq and former Iqaluit mayor Elisapee Sheutiapik check out the snowsuits that have been collected at Parliament Hill this winter.

Metcalfe family’s snowsuit fund spreads to Parliament Hill Shipments still heading to Nunavut Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - A collection of new and gently used snowsuits has spread from rural south Ottawa all the way to Parliament Hill.

Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre and health minister Leona Aglukkaq are now both accepting donations for the Nunavut Snowsuit Fund, which began in the GreelyMetcalfe area after a mother and son witnessed the impoverished conditions of many children living in the northern territory.

Christopher Scrivens, a 21-year-old pilot from Metcalfe, had been working for Air Nunavut and flew through many of Nunavut’s outlying communities over the course of his 10 months on the job.

When his mother Patti-Anne Scrivens came to visit him last year, he asked her to

bring warm clothing for local children. From there, the pair devised a larger plan to collect warm essentials for these communities from their home in south Ottawa.

Donation bins were set up at the Greely Foodland, the Scotiabank in Findlay Creek, at the Larga Baffin rest home in Westboro, and through the Ottawa police.

So far the campaign has sent 11 shipments of snowsuits, jackets and ski pants totaling more than 550 clothing items to the northern territory, as well as more than 1,000 hats, scarves and pairs of mitts.

With the help of the RCMP, the clothing has been distributed to needy communities in Kimmirut, Sanikiluaq, Hall Beach, Igloolik, Kugluktuk and Iqaluit.

On February 26, Scrivens and Kit MacKinnon, who offered a donation space in her Foodland store in Greely,

visited Parliament Hill to see what Poilievre and Aglukkaq had collected.

“I am honoured to lend a helping hand for this great cause,” said Poilievre in a statement. “It is good to see that both our Government and our local communities are committed to improving and strengthening the lives of those in our northern communities.”

These donations will be flown to Nunavut with the aid of Canadian North airline - a partnership that came from a chance meeting between Scrivens and Canadian North employee Marc Wood in the Manotick Shopper’s Drug Mart.

Scrivens will continue collecting donations into April to take advantage of spring cleaning.

“In August I wore a winter coat up there,” she said. “You can always donate.”

EMC news - Manotick’s biggest intersection could be facing a major turning point if Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt gets his way.

At a public meeting on March 7, Moffatt floated the idea of fixing congested northbound traffic through the intersection of Manotick Main Street and Bridge Street by restricting left-hand turns and creating a designated right-turn lane onto Bridge.

By a show of hands, the vast majority of about 115 residents who attended the meeting supported the change, which Moffatt said would be an inexpensive way to make the intersection safer and more efficient.

Currently, drivers going north on Manotick Main have two lanes to get through the intersection. The left lane can get backed up if someone wants to turn onto Maple Avenue, and the right lane gets backed up when someone going straight through is in front of a line of cars waiting to turn onto Bridge. More often than not, frustrated drivers cut through Clapp Lane to turn onto Bridge further east instead of waiting for the light to change.

Moffatt said those problems could be solved if left-hand turns are eliminated there entirely, and the two lanes are split evenly between through traffic on the left and right turns on the right.

He said restricting left turns shouldn’t impact very many residents; peak hour turns are about 10 cars an hour, he said, while during off-peak hours it’s more like two.

“If you’re turning left you’re turning to go back somewhere, because that’s what the road does,” he told the crowd. “You could turn on Eastman, Beaverwood – you have options before you get there.”

Moffatt said he has already discussed the feasibility of the changes with staff and now they need to decide how to proceed. They

may take a phased approach.

“I know (staff) support restricting the left hand lane, and that may solve it all,” Moffatt said. “This is easy to do, so let’s do this and see how this works.”

VILLAGE UPDATE

The public meeting held at the Manotick arena was meant to be an update on several developments and ongoing projects in the village.

Moffatt reminded residents about plans to build the Van Vliet extension and intersection this April. At the same time, Dickinson Circle will be realigned with a signalized intersection.

Developer Joe Princiotta gave a brief update on the construction of Orchardview on the Rideau, a new retirement residence on Bridge Street. He said he hopes to have residents living there by Christmas.

Another developer also presented early plans to redevelop the plaza on the northeast corner of Manotick Main and Bridge, which would extend the property and add a new bank and plaza on the corner.

Some residents questioned whether this would be good for the village, but most people at the meeting agreed that the current plaza, which houses the Hard Stones Grill and the parking lot that goes with it, is too ugly for the village’s gateway intersection.

“This is a pretty village but the first thing you see is this ugly intersection,” one resident said. “These people are thinking in the right way.”

The other concern was parking. Currently the plaza has more parking than required, and it is often used as a public lot by people who aren’t shopping in the stores. The new development will meet the city’s parking requirements but only just – reducing the amount of spots available.

Some residents said the extra parking is necessary, especially since there are few ac-

Property manager Scott Wilson said it’s not the landlord’s responsibility to provide public parking for the village.

One resident received a smattering of applause when she pointed out that Manotick has been trying to become more pedestrian and bike friendly, and that more parking is not the answer.

“If we don’t make it hard to park, then we’re not going to make it easier to walk,” she said.

The development has not been submitted to the city yet, but the architects in charge of the project have spent the last month meeting with community associations and the public to make sure their project is acceptable before entering negotiations with the city.

Moffatt also led an update about the ongoing request for expressions of interest to redevelop Dickinson Square.

Sugar shack gets ready for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maple festival Maple-inspired storytelling, dances and improv added to lineup Michelle Nash

Making Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Immigration System Work

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - People young and old will have activities to enjoy at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vanier Maple Sugar Festival which promises to get you moving, laughing and eating lots of sticky syrup.

The Maple Sugar Festival begins on March 17 at Richelieu Park. The annual festival has a number of allages activities this year, including the return of the Lumberjack competition and storytelling at the sugar shack.

All of the activities will be taking place at the Richelieu-Vanier Community Centre, Richelieu Park, and the sugar shack located in the park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I was trying to do this year was to have activities that ďŹ t every demographic,â&#x20AC;? said organizer Heidi Duhaime.

New events include a night of maple-inspired tales, a dinner/dance with the Disco Inferno Band, a seniors dance at the Centre Pauline-

Canada is a country that prides itself on being able to attract the very best and brightest newcomers.

However, in the past, our immigration system has not worked as well as it could have. Skilled workers looking to immigrate here were being left in the dark over whether or not their foreign credentials would be recognized in Canada.

One of the ways we have addressed this issue is through the Canadian Immigrant Integration Program (CIIP). The CIIP seeks to assist potential immigrants by providing them with all the information they need regarding credential recognition and the Canadian labour market as a whole. By helping newcomers prepare for economic success in advance, before leaving their country, this minimizes the time it takes to become a contributing resident of Canada.

To date, 20,000 people have graduated from the CIIP, with 99% of participants agreeing that the services offered by the program had improved their understanding of how to ďŹ nd suitable work in Canada.

Fisher

Not only does this program beneďŹ t new immigrants by making our immigration system more efďŹ cient, but it also helps ensure newcomers are able to contribute to our economy sooner and in a more meaningful way, ultimately beneďŹ ting all Canadians.

When we ďŹ rst took ofďŹ ce in 2006, we inherited an immigration system where applications for Skilled Workers were taking ďŹ ve years to process and the backlog was approaching half a million people. Since this time we have been able to shorten the application time to just one year, and the backlog has been reduced by over 150,000 people. This means that fewer worthy applicants are being turned away, and more new Canadians are being given the opportunity to strengthen our economy.

Canada is a country that welcomes determination, hard-work, resourcefulness, and an entrepreneurial spirit. The CIIP is helping ensure that those who embody these values make Canada their destination of choice.

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Heidi Duhaime is working around the clock to make this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Maple Sugar Festival a success. A long time event organizer, Duhaime has expanded the activities this year to ensure the week-long festival will be fun for all ages.

Charon and a free improv night with the University of Ottawa Improvisation League which will encourage audience participation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty cool about this activity is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completely free,â&#x20AC;?

Duhaime said.

Patrons are encouraged to bring packaged toilet paper donations as a form of admission for the event, which the festival will give to Partage Vanier.

When organizing this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events, Duhaime said the main goal was to attract a wide variety of people by creating events geared towards people of all ages. The improv night is free, for example, something Duhaime said should encourage teenagers and university students to attend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to keep the costs proportionate to the demographic the activities are aimed for,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Back this year is the second annual Maple Race, the pancake breakfast, the Lumberjackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Challenge and the seventh annual edition of the Soup Splash, where local chefs create maple-ďŹ&#x201A;avoured soups.

Members of the community are getting involved too, with the Vanier Community Association participat-

ing in the Lumberjackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Challenge.

Board members Geoff Derry and David Bateman will be leading two teams of association members.

The only urban one of its kind in Canada, Vanierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maple sugar shack has been burning the midnight oil since mid-February to make oodles of syrup for all the pancakes and sugar taffy prepared for the festival.

Duhaime said this festival is a true community festival and credits both the events partners and volunteers for making it so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have over 700 trees tapped, all by volunteers,â&#x20AC;? Duhaime said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of which would not have been possible without all the volunteers who help.â&#x20AC;?

Throughout the week, schools will be taking guided tours of the sugar bush, visitng MusĂŠoparc, enjoying a maple tasting, as well as participating in storytelling and craft workshops.

More than 1,100 students will attend this year, Duhaime said.

Families and residents can enjoy these same activities during the March 23-24 weekend.

A full schedule of events is available on MusĂŠoparcâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www. museoparc.ca for a full list of activities and times.

City consulting on how it consults Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – Online surveys?

Twitter? Old-fashioned community meetings? The city wants to know how you’d like to be engaged in municipal issues.

The city has never really updated its policy on how it consults with individuals and groups, said the city’s general manager of community and social services, Aaron Burry. The public consultation strategy was put together in 2004 after amalgamation.

“There wasn’t a lot of work done to put that into practice or look at how we were going to do this,” Burry said. “Given everything that’s changed in terms of how our world works.”

And now, technology and social media are changing the way people engage with the city. The consultation will look at how the city might be able to take advantage of those opportunities when it asks for feedback on different municipal issues and proposals.

“Going back 10 or 12 years ago at amalgamation, consultations were … at four locations in the city – east,

west, south and one open house – and that was consultation,” Burry said. “I think we are moving beyond that and approaching it by trying different things.”

The city wants to look at everything from the very beginning of the process, including what the city is hoping to achieve through consultations, how it lets residents know consultations are happening and how different city departments can use the various forms of consultations that this process will outline.

Engaging the “silent majority” will be a big part of it, Burry said. Online engagement is part of that, but co-or-

dinating with community groups like the City for All Women Initiative helps, too. Initiative volunteers can follow the city’s consultation model and organize a smaller event that attracts residents who may not normally come out to a city-organized meeting, especially if the session can be offered in another language.

“We’ve seen in some of those consultations a much broader and a much stronger response that covers all areas. Not just the usual suspects,” he said.

Helping people understand when and how their feedback will make an impact will also be part of the

process, Burry said. For instance, some people come to city committee meetings and don’t understand their speaking time will be limited to five minutes, or that they cannot ask questions to committee members.

Ensuring residents have the info to make their participation meaningful is a priority, Burry said.

The city will also be looking at how other governments consult the public and offering examples of what might work in Ottawa.

A strategy and a “toolkit” for city staff to use when consulting with the public will be brought to city councillors for approval in the fall, Burry said. An online survey will be available from March 25 to April 16.

Blais out of intensive care Cumberland councillor ‘on the road to recovery’ after January heart attack Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

STEPH WILLEMS/METROLAND

Labour groups protest hospital cuts Marlene Riviere, chairwoman of the Ottawa Health Coalition, speaks to supporters at a rally staged in front of the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus on March 4. The protesters, consisting mainly of organized labour groups, denounced hospital staffing cuts that they say will negatively affect patient care. Riviere called for revenues to be increased in order to offset the need for staffing cuts.

EMC news - City council colleagues of Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais are encouraged to hear he is out of intensive care following his Jan. 7 heart attack.

Blais, 32, suffered a heart attack on Jan. 7 while working out at GoodLife Fitness at Place d’Orléans. He was taken to the Monfort Hospital and later to the Ottawa Heart Institute, where he underwent surgery. Blais awoke from a medically induced coma two days later but he fought a severe case of pneumonia and remained in intensive care until March 6.

Mayor Jim Watson went to visit Blais in the hospital during the last week of February and doctors hoped the councillor would be out of the intensive care unit later in March.

“It was great to see his tweet and the fact that he is eating solid food (shows) he is on his way to recovery,” Watson said. “It’s great news for me personally as his friend and also as mayor, but also for his constituents.

“My hope is that he doesn’t push himself because I know he is anxious to get back to work,” Watson said. “I’m

sure his wife will be grabbing his BlackBerry and his iPod to not be as accessible … I’m hoping he uses the time to not do too much work, but know we’re anxious to have him back.”

Blais appeared on CTV News on March 7 in his first interview since the heart attack. He told reporter John Hua a doctor worked for more than an hour to restart his heart. As he waits to be moved to a rehabilitation centre to work on regaining strength, Blais has been in touch with his office about some planning files, he told CTV. Blais is one of six members on the small agriculture and rural affairs committee and serves as the vice chairman, so his absence is felt. The committee appointed Orléans Coun.

Bob Monette to serve as vice chairman while Blais is away.

“We’re hoping he’ll be back sooner than later,” Monette said. “We’re taking care of things as much as we can while he is away and as much as we can we’re making sure that everything is covered for him.”

Monette admitted that his workload has increased quite a bit with Blais away.

“There are some controversial files out there. Coun. (Ranier) Bloess and I are doing our best to get all the information,” Monette said. “We’re not there to make new decisions. We’re there to get the feedback, consult with the public and get back to the staff and let them know what we’re hearing.

One of life’s lesson learned by caring for animals

E

merson said there was something wrong with my head.

He thought it probably had something to do with the bump I got when I fell out of a tree. My sister Audrey said to pay him no heed. She said I was right as rain, which certainly eased my mind.

But Emerson said anyone who took to animals that weren’t quite right had to have a screw loose.

There was no doubt I seemed to be especially fond of any farm animal that came into the world a bit different from the ordinary.

Emerson pointed to my pet chicken. I called her Biddy. Now, what made Biddy very different from the flock was she didn’t have a feather on her body. She had a sort of cuff of down around her neck, but that was it as far as feathers were concerned. Her body was a soft pink, smooth as a china plate and I loved her with all my heart.

Biddy and I spent hours together.

When the summer sun was hot, she sat on my knee in the old wood swing in the grape arbour, as I tried to keep her out of the sun, because

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories one day her skin turned as red as a beet. As we rocked in the swing, Biddy would fall sound asleep in minutes. I thought she was beautiful.

Emerson said she was a freak.

Then there was Lambie. She was black as ink and in a flock as white as the driven snow, was an immediate outcast.

I adopted Lambie immediately.

As well as being black when she was born, Father doubted she would see morning -- she was tiny and had trouble breathing. After sleeping in the house by the Findlay Oval in a cardboard box and being fed by me from a doll’s bottle, she thrived.

She followed me everywhere and eventually had to be kept in the barn

after Mother announced there would be no more sheep in the house.

Then there was old Harry With The Heaves, as he was called.

Harry was a dark brown horse with a questionable ancestry. He was very old and had what we called a sway-back. Emerson said you could lay a bale of hay in the middle of his back. He wasn’t much good for working, but like all the other misfits that came into being on the farm, I loved old Harry With The Heaves with a deep passion.

With the least exertion old Harry would heave like he was taking his last breath, so he was never put to work. He mainly sought a cool place in the summer, with his head almost

touching the ground and standing perfectly still, and in the winter stayed in the warmth of the barn.

Sometimes I would hitch him up to the cutter and take a few cuts around the barnyard. But they were few indeed, because within minutes he was heaving like his time had come. I would unhitch him, use the currycomb on him, make sure he had water to drink and a patch of hay to chew on, and hug his neck and tell him how much I loved him.

I was sure he knew what I was saying.

Now, a horse with the heaves isn’t much good to a farmer, so I dreaded the day Father would say Harry’s time had come. I decided I had to have a talk with Father. I waited for just the right time. As he did every night before he went to bed, he went to the barns to check on the animals.

Never do I ever remember him not putting on his boots and heavy coat and heading out to the barns before bedtime.

One night I went with him. Of course, old Harry With The Heaves was in his stall with his head almost to the floor. I asked Father what was going to happen to my favourite horse when he could no longer even walk around the barnyard. Father just said, “We’ll worry about that

when the time comes,” which put my mind at ease for the moment.

Every night afterward I added old Harry to my prayers, asking that “his time” be a long way off.

The winter was severe that year.

Harry was kept in the barn almost every day. The frosty air would cause him to heave even if he wasn’t walking around the barnyard.

Without fail, as soon as I came home from school and got into my play clothes, I would head for the barn to see Harry.

Then came the day when Harry was gone. I thought perhaps Father had let him out for some air. But he was nowhere to be seen. I was frantic and ran from building to building looking for Father. He was cleaning out the sheep stable, and it looked like he knew exactly why I was there.

“Where is he?” Father put the fork down, and rubbed the top of my head which immediately started me into the tears. All he said was, “Harry has gone to a better place.”

When I was very young I thought the animals I loved would live forever. It took me a long time to realize you didn’t raise farm animals for pets.

Harry, like Biddy and Lambie, had gone to a better place.

Ottawa companies awarded for employer excellence Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - When Maya Chikaishi first moved to Ottawa 14 years ago, she immediately felt like it would be her new home.

Having made the 15,000-kilometre journey from Japan to Ottawa to learn English and expand her career prospects, Chikaishi went to Carleton University. As she approached approaching graduation, the young woman admitted her lack of Canadian work experience would make it hard for her to find a job, but Ottawa software firm Kivuto gave her an interview and eventually the chance she was looking for. Now a director with the firm, she said she is proud to still call Ottawa her home.

Kivuto and Chikaishi were honoured on March 6 for employer excellence at the 2013 Employer Council of Champions Summit, organized by the local organization Hire Immigrants Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m honoured and pleased to be part of this company and to receive this award,â&#x20AC;? Chikaishi said.

The event took place at the National Arts Centre as part of a two-

day summit to help promote diverse workplaces.

Henry Akanko, the director of Hire Immigrants Ottawa, said the awards handed out at the summit are a way to encourage more employers to consider hiring recent immigrants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The value is to raise the profile of why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to have diverse workplaces,â&#x20AC;? Akanko said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These awards help us tell successful stories to organizations who may be thinking of expanding.â&#x20AC;?

The second recipient of the award was Bridgehead Coffeehouse and Roastery.

Tracey Clark, the managing director of Bridgehead, accepted the award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a nice recognition for the efforts that we are making,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Clark added that she feels this award is also something the coffee houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employees can celebrate too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think diversity is really important,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It came out of us trying to be competitive, but everyday we are learning new things from our employees.â&#x20AC;?

For starters, Clark said, some of

the new immigrants the company has hired have proven to be a great influence in the kitchens of her establishments, offering ideas on new dishes the coffee house could serve.

For Chikaishi, working for Kivuto has been life altering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have given me one opportunity after another,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Chikaishi started her career in email support, as a Japanese translator and is now the director of her department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just kept getting more and more responsibility,â&#x20AC;? Chikaishi said.

Now part of the hiring team, Chikaishi said she is interviewing a lot of new immigrants for positions at the company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They remind me of myself, 10 years ago,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a lot of interviews because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much Canadian experience, and I know what they are going through.â&#x20AC;?

Her goal as a manager, she added, is to continue to create a diverse workplace at Kivuto, where she has met some of her best friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working here feels like being part of a family,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Hundreds of officers mourn slain Steve Déry Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news - A somber mood fell over Ottawa as more than 800 police officers from across Canada gathered at Notre Dame Cathedral March 9 to mourn the death of Const. Steve Déry.

Déry, a police officer who grew up in Orléans, attending Garneau high school, had his life and career cut short abruptly on March 2 when he was shot while on duty in Kuujjuaq, northen Quebec.

The 27-year-old officer was working with the Kativik Regional Police Service about 1,400 kilometres north of Montreal, where he was shot when he and his partner responded to a domestic violence call in the community.

A letter from Déry’s father Gilles, read by a friend, described his son as a “hero and a great police officer.”

eAster at

The MET Wednesday, March 27 through Sunday, March 31

“I’m so proud to have had you as a son. I will think of you until we meet again,” Gilles wrote.

His death touched close to home for many in Orléans, who remembered Déry from his hockey and lacrosse days as a teenager, and his early days growing up in Rockland.

Mixed with the sadness and sense of loss, Kativik’s police chief, Aileen MacKinnon, told the gathering how she was the last person to say goodbye to Steve in the hospital before he died.

“I lost one of my boys,” she said.

Déry s brother Benoit described him as a definition of a perfect brother and best friend.

“I was always so damn proud to call him my brother,” said Benoit.

“All I can say Steve – is thank you and I love you, brother.”

Other speakers included Déry’s best friend Greg Désirier.

“We were inseparable and I can’t think of my best memories without thinking of Steve,” said Désirier.

“He was my go-to guy, best friend and a brother I never had.”

Déry had been a member of the Kativik Regional Police Force since 2009, starting his career in the community of Kangirsuk before being transferred to the community of Kuujjuaq in 2010.

More than 800 police officers from across the country including Ottawa police chief Charles Bordeleau, centre, march down Sussex Street on March 9 for the funeral of slain officer Steve Déry who many remembered as a role model and hero.

Kuujjuaq said his community was mourning and trying to recover from the death of Steve.

“It is something that you do not prepare for or plan. We appreciate the show of support we have been receiving from everyone, and we still

need it,” said Napartuq.

Not only did the death shock the community but the entire police community as well.

Ottawa police chief Charles Bordeleau said Déry’s tragic death serves as a difficult reminder of the dangers

officers face every day.

“He exemplifies what a police officer is today,” said Bordeleau.

“Police officers want to help the communities, they want to serve, but they also recognize that there are dangers out there.”

Wrestling trio looking for Earn Extra Money! national support this spring Keep Your Weekends Free!

Emma Jackson and Sydney Steele emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - Three South Carleton athletes stand a fighting chance to become national champions this April - but only with the community’s support.

Liam Crockett, Claire Lizotte and Andrea Pretty, all Grade 10 students at South Carleton High School, are top wrestlers in their age and weight classes. On top of going to OFSAA this March, in February they won provincial gold and silver medals and a chance to attend the Juvenile/Cadet National Wrestling Championship in Saskatoon this April.

But without sponsors and funding there’s little way to get them there.

Claire’s mother Janice Lizotte said it will cost about $6,000 to get the three wrestlers to the tournament. While the families will do their best to find the money, the nonprofit National Capital Wrestling Club the wrestlers represent can’t offer much support.

“This year, the expenses involved are greater given the location in Saskatoon which is quite expensive in terms of travel costs from Ottawa,” said club president Dean Sherratt in a letter to potential sponsors.

In the end, it will come down to community and business sponsors to get the athletes in the ring April 4 to 7.

“Any financial assistance provided to these outstanding men and women will be greatly appreciated and publicly acknowledged by the club,” Sherratt said.

Lizotte said supporting the wrestlers also supports the club, which has been a great resource for the three wrestlers.

“It’s just run by people who

Claire Lizotte, Liam Crockett and Andrea Pretty have all won the chance to attend a national competition in Saskatchewan this April. love the sport, and it rubs off on the kids,” Lizotte said. “They get that dedication, too.”

The trio has been unfailingly successful this season.

While it’s technically an individual sport – one wrestler taking down another – the support team they’ve found at the National Capital Wrestling Club they all joined this season has been a huge boost, Claire said – especially in the wake of Bill 115 and extracurricular cuts at school.

“The club is a lot like a family,” she said. “We’re all friends and we’re really supportive of each other.”

Andrea and Claire have been wrestling since the fall of Grade 9, while Liam only started several months ago.

And yet they’re already going to national competitions, placing in the top 10 in OFSAA matches and bringing home gold and silver medals.

This spring, their hope is to just get a chance to show Canada what they’ve got.

“My goal is to do my best and give 120 per cent,” Claire said. “That way if I lose I’ll still be happy knowing I did everything I could to win and then if I actually do win it will be that much better.”

The competition will be tough – much tougher than OFSAA – but worth the exR0011951207_0307

perience to wrestle with other athletes of their calibre.

“The competition will be much more difficult because everyone has deserved to qualify and they’re all really dedicated,” Claire added.

Even if they don’t make it onto the podium, Liam said the team will still consider the trip a success.

“Even if you had a bad match everyone would still tell (say) you did a good job,” Liam said. “People at the club are great supporters and motivators.”

While the athletes are just getting started in their wrestling careers, all three of them said they were upset to hear that wrestling will likely be taken out of the Olympic Games in 2020.

The 2020 Summer Olympics would have been their peak year for competing in the Olympics if they chose to pursue that path, Andrea said.

“I hadn’t really thought about Olympics yet,” Andrea said, adding that their collective goal is to make it to the Pan Am Games in 2015. Those games will be held in Toronto, which is much more accessible than Saskatoon or an international destination.

EMC entertainment - Centretownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grassroots festival is returning this year and promises to be bursting with free, fun family activities spread across what is now a two-day event.

The Grassroots Festival announced its lineup at Pressed Gourmet Sandwich Bar in Centretown on March 6. After a successful inaugural year, organizer Robert Nesbitt decided to expand the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programming to make it a two-day event taking place on April 27-28 at the Legion Hall located at 330 Kent St. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mark your calendars, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss this event,â&#x20AC;? he said at the launch.

Nesbitt said the incredible support he had with the inaugural event last year provided him with the opportunity to expand the festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The success of the festival is due in large part to the volunteers, some 65 of them,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone as-

sociated with the festival is a volunteer, except the performers.â&#x20AC;?

This year Nesbitt said there will be more than 65 volunteers helping with the festival.

For music lovers or learners, there is more than 34 hours of free entertainment during the daytime with multiple opportunities to learn a thing or two from some local Ottawa musicians at any of the free workshops and performances during the weekend.

In total, there will be 120 musical performances, including a pint-sized choir led by Chris White. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sparrows are a group of home-schooled children who wanted to start a choir,â&#x20AC;? White explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One parent called another, and then another, and eventually I was asked to do it.â&#x20AC;?

White, a local musician who cofounded the Ottawa Folk Festival and teaches singing at Algonquin College, said he jumped at the chance to work with the choir.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The neat thing is, is that my dad actually ran a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choir when I was young, which I was a part of, and now I am teaching these kids who are singing a lot of those same songs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;?

The choir has 20 members from across the city. White has help from one of the home school parents, who coordinates the group.

Six of the Sparrows choir members performed at the launch.

The headliners for Saturday night are Wendell Ferguson and Suzie Vinnick, with openers Ana Miura and Amanda Rheaume.

On Sunday night the headliner is Big Soul Project with opener Andy Rush and the Weekend Choir. Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concert is a fundraiser, to help raise money for CKCU FM, a volunteer-run radio station in Ottawa.

Some of the festival performers attended the March 7 launch, including Missy Burgess and Amanda Bon and the Outskirts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be apart of this festival is

Nesbitt, asked many times what a grassroots festival is, explained what he feels this concert and the music associated with it is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grassroots means an organization with a voice, members supporting each other and it means family and

friends, much like those who are here today,â&#x20AC;? Nesbitt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means doing something for the community.â&#x20AC;?

Ticket prices are $25 for Saturday night, $15 for Sunday night, and $35 for a weekend pass. More information about the festival is available at www.ottawagrassrootsfestival.com.

Homan rink to compete for world curling title Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

From left, Rachel Homan, Emma Miskew, Mayor Jim Watson, Lisa Weagel and Alison Kreviazuk celebrate the curling teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent national championship win with some custom curling cupcakes at city hall on March 7.

She won a silver medal at the world junior championships and is going into her ďŹ rst womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world championships with some big goals, aiming to make the playoffs and put her rink in the ďŹ nal game.

The young team certainly stood out at the Scotties, with all of the players taking home individual hon-

ours.

Homan took home a new car for winning the Ford Hot Shots contest, which Miskew placed third in. Weagle was named to the ďŹ rst all-star team, and Kreviazuk won the Sandra Schmirler Most Valuable Player Award.

A Quick Guide to Guinea Pigs Guinea pigs make delightful companions for both adults and families. Once settled in their new home, guinea pigs are inquisitive, friendly and talkative. Guinea pigs are social animals, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to keep at least two for companionship. Their average life span is four to eight years but, with proper care and nutrition, guinea pigs can live up to ten years.

General Care: s 'UINEA PIGS NEED NUTRITIOUS FOOD FRESH WATER AND A CLEAN habitat. s 'UINEA PIGS NEED DAILY EXERCISE AND PLAY s !LL HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS SHOULD UNDERSTAND HOW TO HOLD AND play with a guinea pig, and they should all be as eager as you welcome a guinea pig or two into the family.

Special Considerations:

s 0ENICILLIN BASED DRUGS COMMONLY PRESCRIBED FOR OTHER PETS ARE TOXIC TO GUINEA PIGS s %XERCISE WHEELS AND BALLS CAN CAUSE INJURY TO GUINEA PIGS AND should never be used. s .EVER LEAVE YOUR GUINEA PIGS UNSUPERVISED WHERE A PREDATOR or other pet could harm them.

2EGULAR EXERCISE OUTSIDE THE CAGE IS ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR GUINEA PIGS HEALTH AS WELL AS GREAT FUN FOR THE FAMILY ! ROOM CAN BE made safe for guinea pigs by preventing access to electrical cords, removing hazardous items and blocking gaps under appliances AND FURNITURE !LTERNATIVELY A PLAYPEN WILL ALLOW YOUR PETS TO ROMP IN SAFETY 'UINEA PIGS ENJOY A VARIETY OF SAFE TOYS SUCH AS WIDE tubes, cartons and wood bird toys.

Most guinea pigs are cautious about being picked up, but love being petted once they are on your lap.

PET OF THE WEEK

Peaches & Pixel

Hi, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Peaches and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 12 yrs. old and this is Pixel and she is 11 mos. old. We were both adopted from the OHS by our human Katie. Katie chose me even though I was already 8 and had a cloudy left eye. I am a lovely boy and very cuddly but sometimes I talk alot when I want to eat which would be all the time if I had my way. I accidently got out last summer and was missing for two months. I ďŹ nally got brave and went up to a lady who had seen all the posters about me and she brought me home. My humans and dog, Disney were overjoyed to see me. I was very skinny and hungry. Pixel arrived just before I was found. She is very playful, loving, likes feet but hates to be held. She growls if you try to hold her. Pixel also prefers to â&#x20AC;&#x153;trill or murmurâ&#x20AC;? rather than meow. She is very curious and even jumped in the dryer once. She fell in the toilet twice (I laughed) and is fascinated by the toilet ďŹ&#x201A;ushing. We like to wrestle and chase each other around the house. We are very well loved kitties.

EMC news - The K-Rock Centre in Kingston was close to capacity for the ďŹ nal game of the Scotties Tournament of Hearts between Ontario, lead by skip Rachel Homan, and Manitoba.

The signs in the crowd said the team had the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homan-ďŹ eld advantageâ&#x20AC;? and a win was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homan-ly possible,â&#x20AC;? as friends and family of the four curlers based out of the Ottawa Curling Club packed the rink to cheer on Feb. 24.

Homan, raised in OrlĂŠans and a graduate of Cairine Wilson Secondary School, gave everyone who made the trip a good show, winning the title. Next up for the Homan rink, including Emma Miskew, Alison Kreviazuk and Lisa Weagle, is taking on the world championship in Latvia as Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representatives.

It will be too far for family members, including team manager Craig Homan, to travel to see their next games in Latvia for the world championships â&#x20AC;&#x201C; though he admitted he probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sleep, and will wake up to watch his daughter on TV despite the time difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many people drove down, just even for our ďŹ nal game,â&#x20AC;? Rachel Homan, 23, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we were capable of winning.â&#x20AC;?

the team still manages to hit the ice every day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like having two jobs,â&#x20AC;? Rachel said. She started curling in Navan before moving to Cityview and later the Rideau curling club.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been even busier than usual with a frenzy of training, interviews and celebrations since the team got back from Kingston.

On March 7, only a few days before they were set to leave for Latvia, they were welcomed by Mayor Jim Watson at city hall, who noted the last Ontario team to win the Canadian championship was in 1996. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a bit of a drought, but we were treated to a thrilling ďŹ nal,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What an amazing feat of winning the Canadian championship. I ďŹ nd it fascinating to watch, the precision you brought to the sport.â&#x20AC;?

Days earlier the women were invited to Parliament Hill to meet Prime Minister Steven Harper, and the Ottawa Curling Club had planned a March 9 send-off party. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re blown away by the support Ottawa has shown us,â&#x20AC;? Rachel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to do you proud in a few days.

The world championships will air on TSN, and run from March 16 to 24. Team Canada will play its ďŹ rst game on March 16, taking on Scotland.

Heritage Ottawa presents a free public lecture on the topic of Rediscovering Lowertown. This event takes place at 7 p.m. at the Ottawa Public Library Auditorium 120 Metcalfe St. Built on a

swamp between the Rideau River and the Rideau Canal and north of the “sandy hill,” Lowertown and the Byward Market became a workers’ paradise as it matured in the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s. It was almost obliterated by illconceived urban renewal and transportation schemes in the ’60s and early ’70s and continues to struggle to this day to survive despite being designated as an important heritage area. Marc Aubin, a sixth generation resident of Lowertown and president of the Lowertown Community Association, along with fellow members, will share perspectives on the community’s successes and challenges in protecting and restoring the area’s heritage.

Lecture will be in English.
