Inside Former suburbs

feel infill pressure

NEWS

Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - River Ward has the same challenges as other core communities that are evolving from former suburbs into urban neighbourhoods.

In recognition of those challenges, Coun. Maria McRae said the city’s planning department has agreed to include her ward and other urban fringe wards in the next phase of the city’s infill design guidelines review.

Communities that used to be suburbs, like Carlington and Carleton Heights, are starting to be redeveloped, McRae said. “The infill policy should not be the ‘in kill’ policy.”

“I want to get ahead of the curve on this,” she said.

After speaking with councillors, city staff also agreed to include Bay, College, Knoxdale-Merivale, Beacon Hill-Cyrville and the rest of Rideau-Vanier Ward east of the Rideau River.

“Issues that have been facing Sandy Hill for years are now facing my ward,” said Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney.

The study follows new rules that were drafted last year in an effort to ease tensions over how new homes that bring more residents should blend into the neighbourhood.

Those tensions are now creeping outwards into wards that were formerly outlying municipalities surrounding the old city of Ottawa, councillors say.

Many of the issues are leftover from amalgamation, Tierney said, such as zoning that allows different building heights on either side of Bathgate Street because it was a former municipal dividing line.

Ideally, it would have been better to look at the issue sooner – at amalgamation, for instance – but taking a look at how infill is affecting former suburban wards is better late than never, Tierney said.

The Liberals release a budget designed to garner opposition support.

EMC news - The already delayed Strandherd-Armstrong bridge won’t be completed until September of 2014 – more than a year after it was scheduled to be done.

The latest hiccup comes after almost a

The city says several issues have contribut-

moved into place over the Rideau River is also slowing the project down, according to a press release from the city.

Delay leaves drivers on Hunt Club, Manotick Main Continued from page 1

“I am disappointed by the news that further delays are impacting the completion date for the StrandherdArmstrong bridge and the inconvenience this is causing to the residents of Ottawa,” Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches said in the press release.

Construction of the bridge is more than 70 per cent completed, Desroches said in the statement. Last March, the city said the bridge was 60 per cent done.

A “major portion” of the welding work is now completed. The contractor does plan to launch the bridge into its final position over the river this summer.

The next step will be to pour the concrete. That is scheduled for the spring of 2014.

The City of Ottawa will use its $23million performance bond to ensure that that the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge is completed at no extra cost to taxpayers. The contractor will also have to compensate the city for damages starting September 1, 2013 – the original date the company was contractually obligated to complete the construction.

On June 6, 2012, the city announced it selected a prime contractor to finish

the $48-million project: Horseshoe Hill Construction Inc. The original contractor, Concreate USL, beat out four rival companies in 2010 to build the eight-lane Strandherd-Armstrong bridge across the Rideau River linking the communities of Riverside South and Barrhaven.

The Riverside South Community Association, whose residents will benefit from the bridge when it is opened, said it is worried about the latest developments.

“Obviously we are concerned,” Scott Hodge, president of the association, said last spring.

Hodge said the delay could affect a lot of the commercial growth that is currently planned in Riverside South based on the projections of the bridge being in place.

“If there is a major delay in the bridge’s opening, we may see some delay in the introduction of some of the major businesses planned,” said Hodge.

“We use a number of retail businesses and services in Barrhaven on (a) regular basis and the bridge would certainly facilitate our access to that community and equally facilitate the access of Barrhaven residents into Riverside South.”

Thousands attend Centrepointe’s 25th anniversary party Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – The Centrepointe Theatres’ 25th anniversary ended on a high note with more than 4,000 people visiting Nepean’s municipal complex to take part in the block party held on May 4.

The anniversary celebrations had something for people of all ages — from remote control robots to pottery workshops, as well as a host of other performances throughout the day by world-beat musical group, Drumhand; aboriginal experiences hoop dancing and comedian Buddy Wasisname, among others.

CrĂŠations in Vivo acrobats spinned from ropes, and a hoop and cube, which was suspended from Ben Franklin Place. “We wanted to use this to celebrate with our patrons that have given so much to us over the years, because we couldn’t do without them,â€? said event spokeswoman Barbara Brunzell. “It was so exciting for us to see the joy. The feedback was so positive.â€?

There were more than 35 different activities and performances to enjoy. “I never realized Centrepointe Theatres was in our backyard,� said one young mother, her arms laden with clay elephants, laser cut-outs

and a colourful collection of balloon animals, all crafted by her children at the event. “I am deďŹ nitely going to put this place on my list (of places to visit).â€?

The summer weather conditions added to the celebratory vibe both inside and outside the theatres.

Children took in a performance

by Juno-nominated children’s performer Jennifer Gasoi at the library while some created their own music at the musical petting zoo. “I am so excited to see so many people turn out to celebrate this milestone anniversary with us,�

Allan Sansom, artistic producer of Centrepointe Theatres, said in a press release.

In the past, Centrepointe Theatres and the Shenkman Arts Centre programmed a combined season known as Ottawa Theatres Presents. Now the two venues will concentrate on developing their own unique identities; as unique as the patrons that walk through their doors. “Centrepointe Theatres has been a cultural hub in the city’s west end for a quarter of a century, with more than 80,000 patrons attending both our theatres every year,� said Sansom. “We want to make sure it remains that way, so we are giving our patrons a chance to not only watch the action, but be a part of it.�

On May 3, 1988 famed comedian

and actor, Rich Little, gave the inaugural; performance at the Centrepointe Theatres. “It was so nice to open up our theatre to the community and have people walk in through the backstage of the theatre and several places, which they would normally not see,� said Brunzell. “We hope people will come back again and again because our new season has so many fun interactive activities.�

She said the weekend’s anniversary activities are only the beginning, promising a host of entertaining choices, and excitement still to come. “We are going to give our patrons more comedy, more variety, more music and a renewed focus on family programming,� said Brunzell. “We are going to be providing more added value to our patrons.�

CrÊations in Vivo acrobats spin from ropes and a hoop and cube suspended from Ben Franklin Place during the Centrepointe Theatres’ 25th anniversary block party held on May 4. More than 4,000 people walked through the doors of Ben Franklin Place and Centrepointe Theatres to witness the celebrations.

EMC news - Speaking at a media event with fellow Liberal MPPs following the release of the 2013 provincial budget, energy minister Bob Chiarelli called rising hydro rates a “bubble” that will eventually pass.

The minority Ontario Liberal government is currently promoting a budget filled with spending designed to garner the approval of the New Democratic Party, whose support is needed to pass the budget and avoid an election. However, the budget plans were announced against the backdrop of the ongoing gas plant scandal and related legislative committee hearings.

The expenditure of an estimated $600 million to cancel the construction of two Toronto-area gas plants is an issue that dogged former Premier Dalton McGuinty and former energy minister Chris Bentley in the year leading up to the prorogation of the legislature last fall and resulted in the resignation of both men. Despite new faces in both positions, the issue is still a thorn for the Liberals, especially since the cost to cancel the two plants will be covered by ratepayers already facing rising electricity costs.

During the May 3 media conference, Chiarelli responded to a question regarding the uncertain costs of the gas plant cancellations.

“Part of the costs of relocation, what they call the sunk costs, the actual money that was spent on the projects in the ground ... those costs have already been put on the fiscal plan and included in the budgets last year and the year before,” said Chiarelli, before saying the Ontario Power Authority didn’t factor in long-term costs to the final figure.

“The long-term costs are ongoing into long-term rate impact,” he said, adding the costs pertaining to the cancellation and relocation of the plants will be incorporated into general expenditures that include current and future hydro generation projects.

In other words, Ontario ratepayers will pay for the cancellations just like any other electricity grid improvement.

“The impact will be there, but it will be included with billions of dollars of other expenditures that are made over a 20-yearperiod in the electricity system,” said Chiarelli, adding, “There are steps that are being taken in the medium and long-term to mitigate the increases in rates.”

The province’s solar and wind providers, as well as the gas plants needed to offset the finicky generation output of those renewables, were signed to 20-year contracts by the Ontario Power Authority. According to the Ontario Energy Board, off-peak electricity rates have risen from 2.7 cents per kwh in May of 2008 to 6.7 cents per kwh in May of this year. In the same time, onpeak rates rose from 9.3 cents per kwh to 12.4 cents.

STEPH WILLEMS/METROLAND

From left, Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli, Glengarry-Prescott-Russell MPP Grant Crack and Ottawa-Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi promote the liberal budget during a press conference on May 3.

Speaking with Metroland Media, Chiarelli was asked whether he thought the province’s electricity rates -- elevated due to the cost of implementing the many aspects of the Green Energy Act -- were a factor in the state of Ontario’s struggling economy, especially the deflation of the province’s manufacturing sector.

Chiarelli said that while rates were being pushed upwards by capital expenditure in the sector and ongoing lifecycle maintenance, measures are being taken to reduce the impact on key sectors of the economy.

“That is a temporary bubble that’s going through the system ... . What we’re able to do to mitigate that bubble -- while we’re coming through that much-needed capital investment that pushes the rates up -- we have six or seven targeted programs that mitigates the rate,” said Chiarelli, referring to the clean energy benefit applied to individual hydro bills, as well as programs for larger commercial and industrial employers.

“One of the important requirements is the expansion of the economy -- the expansion of the Ring of Fire up north, for example. The mining sector is expanding dra-

matically, and that is going to require more investments as well -- you incorporate those factors into the long-term energy plans.”

The Ring of Fire, a large, O-shaped deposit of chromite (the key ingredient in stainless steel) in Ontario’s far north is appealing to prospective mining companies, though the remote area lacks basic infrastructure and would pose an expensive start-up challenge to companies wanting to extract the chromite.

On that topic, Chiarelli said the province is re-directing some of the surplus power it sells at a loss to neighbouring jurisdictions to the industries that need it.

“We actually have created a new energy program for new industrial facilities and a second one for expanded industrial facilities, which leverages our surplus power,” he said. “The Independent Electric System Operator -- IESO -- has created projections on what our surpluses will be, and we’re using that surplus energy – instead of selling that power cheap – we’re selling it in Ontario to industrial expansion companies to mitigate their rate increases.”

That program is in existence now, Chiarelli said.

Youth offer input for place to gather Outdoor ping pong, fitness trail suggested as options Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - On the first hot, sunny Sunday of the spring, more than 25 young people in Old Ottawa East opted to stay inside to help design a park meant just for them.

The young people attended a For Youth Eyes Only, a meeting created by a neighbourhood working group that had recognized the community lacked a proper community park for teens and young adults.

Carol Workun volunteers for the working group and helped organize the meeting. She said the group was created to help address the situation.

The meeting took place on April 28 at Old Town Hall and encouraged area youth to participate and help come up with preliminary designs for a park centred around their needs.

“The youth expressed that they really don’t have places to go,” Workun said. “If there was a park that was the central gathering space, they said they would really like the opportunity to have somewhere that they could come together.”

This is just the beginning of what

will be a long consultation process, she said.

The group intends on gathering ideas, suggestions and comments from youth before presenting a proper plan to present to the greater community.

Twenty-five youth came out to the meeting, which featured a number of suggestions, including an outdoor ping pong table, climbing walls, a fitness trail or a skateboard and BMX park. Of those who attended the meeting, Workun said a number of the youth expressed an interest in playing an ongoing role in helping to build the park.

The working group is looking at a few potential locations for the park, but at the top of the list is Ballantyne Park, across from Old Town Hall on Hawthorne Avenue.

“It sits empty and the kids refer to it as a ‘bus stop park,’” Workun said.

She likened the project to the Children’s Garden at Main Street and Clegg Avenue.

“We see this as a similar opportunity to take a piece of land that is largely unused and make something of it,” she said.

The main goal is to create a space

SUBMITTED

Youth gather on April 28 to discuss what they want to see in a new youth-specific park in Old Ottawa East. for older children to the whole, planning would still included ages to enjoy.

“We discussed we

enjoy, but on for the park areas for all would like to

make the whole park attractive,” she said. “But it’s important to have things that would attract others,” One example would be if the park had a fitness trail, it would have an

appeal to the larger community.

Funding is not secured yet for the project and could include grant applications and community fundraising.

Infill report to be filed in December Continued from page 1

“I’m feeling a lot of the pain – we can say we’re one city but we’re not,” he said. “At least from a zoning perspective we can actually get an apples-to-apples look.”

The city will be looking at the issue of allowing “discrete intensification on large properties that have small homes, often bungalows that were provided as housing for war veterans.

That’s a big issue in River Ward, McRae said, and people want to know what city planners’ definition of “discrete intensification” will be.

For McRae, it means respecting the history and character of those communities. She wouldn’t support replacing a bungalow with a ninestorey building, but a row of walk-up townhomes is something neighbours seem more OK with, she said.

“We certainly don’t support the decimation of these unique neighbourhoods,” McRae said, adding that the biggest issue for residents seems to be height – not necessarily intensification itself.

According to city staff, the main factors that need to be followed up on are the height, mass and side- and backyard setbacks of new infill housing in low-rise neighbourhoods.

“We need to have some sort of way to determine how we want to see the city,” Tierney said. “Is one three storey home on a street of bungalows making sense?”

COMMENT PERIOD

The city is accepting comments from the public until May 17. Email city planner Steve Gauthier at steve. gauthier@ottawa.ca to provide feedback.

The feedback will give city planners information to help them plan site visits to analyze individual properties. There will also be workshops for different communities and for architects.

A report is slated to go to the city’s planning committee in December, but if you are interested in providing comments or connecting with the workshops in the meantime, contact your city councillor’s office.

Open doors, they will come

B

aseball continues to flounder at Ottawa Stadium.

Pity the poor fan awaiting the opening pitch of a new season. The sun is shining, the fans are ready, but there’s no team on the field.

The stop-start process of trying to snag a AAclass team for Ottawa Stadium has been frustrating.

City staff once proposed condominiums for the parking lot, but that was shot down because fans might need somewhere to park once a AA team gets here.

In negotiations to bring a high level of baseball back to Ottawa, teams have thrown the city a few curveballs. So far the Ottawa has whiffed.

The Fat Cats of the Intercounty Baseball League were kicked out of the stadium because the city wanted to renovate prior to the arrival of AA ball.

Now that AA is guaranteed to miss the 2013 season, the eviction has proved unnecessary.

People went to see the Fat Cats. They were family oriented, with low ticket prices and the highest attendance numbers in the league.

Forcing the team out prior to a AA deal being finalized now seems like the wrong move. We’re left with a wonderful site and no team.

The earliest we will see a AA team – or any pro

baseball at all – will be the 2014 season. It means a whole summer will go by with an empty park.

Surely the city would have enough advance notice of the pending arrival of a AA team to get the place fixed up.

The negotiations to get a new team to Ottawa have been a mystery. It’s understandable that there will be a period of secrecy during active negotiations to bring a new team here, but there must be some clue if an upcoming season is going to happen or not.

With no pro team this summer – and no renovations planned in the short term – the gates of Ottawa Stadium should be thrown open for the community to enjoy.

Former Fat Cats general manager Duncan MacDonald has proposed the park could host family events, men’s leagues and Little League baseball this summer. He’s willing to co-ordinate the process, providing turn-key service to the city.

It’s a proposal worth considering but the city has said no. The stadium is paid for with residents’ tax dollars; who better to round the bases than the city’s own ball players?

There’s only one answer to MacDonald’s proposal: play ball!

f it’s your birthday and you make the proper phone calls, you and some friends can ride in the pace car at Rideau Carleton Raceway. It’s pretty good to be one of those friends.

The car, a big Cadillac limousine with a wide metal gate attached to the rear, drives along ahead of the horses. A man in back controls the gate and, in the initial stages, also controls the accelerator.

When he accelerates and swings back the gate, the driver in front takes over, the race begins and you in the birthday group, facing sideways, get to watch the race up close, hearing the sounds and feeling the speed -- even if you see a bit more than you might want to of the drivers’ encouragement of the horses.

You get let off beside the winner’s circle where the happy owner waits. Then you walk back into the building and up to the restaurant area where people enjoy the buffet and place bets at their table.

If you play your cards right, to mix a metaphor, you can have a nice meal and only lose a few dollars on the horses.

You can tell, as you wander over for a second dessert, that most of the people are enjoying themselves. They holler encourage-

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town ment to the horses, whose progress is also visible on TV screens around the room, and in between races chat cheerfully with their table mates.

To enter the restaurant from the parking lot you first have to walk through the slots area. It is brightly lit with lights flashing on the machines which produce a bonging noise that, put together, sounds like music.

As an aside, the intriguing thing is that the machines are all in tune.

Somebody must have to make sure the slot machines are not flat or sharp — another modern-day occupation.

But we digress. Aside from the bonging and flashing, the most noteworthy characteristic of the casino is that no one is smiling or laughing in it. I have walked through Published weekly by:

this room many times on the way into the track and I have never seen anyone laughing or smiling. I see people sitting or standing solemnly in front of their chosen machines, methodically feeding money into them and waiting gloomily for money to come out.

From there, walking into the restaurant and the sight of the race track is like walking into the light.

The paradoxical thing about this is it’s still gambling, whether you’re betting on a horse or a machine. But it feels different.

To bet on a horse, you may scan the racing form and other available information for clues -- what did the horse do in the last race, did it start strongly and fade or did it move up in the late stages of the race; who are its owners, its driver; what are the odds, who are the handicappers picking?

Or you might just decide you like the horse’s name. Two dollars on Stanley Cup to win.

Somehow going through the process makes you feel like you have a stake in the outcome, and if you win, it is a testament to your skill. If you lose, well it’s only $2. This helps keep you smiling, while you return once again to the dessert table.

noisy gloom of the slots area, you scan some petitions from the horse racing and breeding industry, who feel rightfully threatened by the Ontario government’s plans to introduce more big casinos and end the lottery commission’s partnership with the race tracks.

According to the industry, tens of thousands of jobs are at stake.

Now, it’s unfortunate that the racing industry needs the slots to support itself, but if the choice is between keeping the track going and constructing another gleaming palace of gloom, it’s not difficult to know which one to cheer.

don’t write about faith much because, I’ll be honest, I’m a lousy Christian.

Recently, however, I decided that, whatever my current beliefs or behaviours, my faith is important enough to ensure my daughter is baptised into it.

I searched around for a church and decided to return to a downtown community.

I don’t usually “return” to a church because I’m always fearful that people will be disappointed, angry or unhelpful, given my prior desertion. Usually, I like to shop around for a new church, a clean slate.

But there’s one particular church in Centretown that has been difficult to abandon. (I’ve tried twice already).

To reduce expectations, I thought it best to lay all my cards on the table. I emailed the priest, whom I’d never met: “I’d like to talk to you about having my daughter baptised, but I don’t want to be pressured to return to church life.”

Surprisingly, he agreed to meet. We went to Starbucks – good, neutral territory – and

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse talked for an hour. We got along very well. He’s the same age as me. He’s got a wife and four kids. He’s a writer. He likes to talk politics. We have stuff in common. So much, in fact, that we were 59 minutes into our hour-long meeting before the subject of church even came up.

Even then, all he did was offer a simple analogy about church-going and kickboxing (yes, he’s a kickboxing priest – cool, huh?). The message was “sometimes it’s hard to get to church/gym, but once you’re there it feels great and you realize how much you need it in your life.”

Subtle enough to get me through the doors the following Sunday. There was no underlying pressure. In fact, he didn’t even extend me an

invitation.

But I was scared. This particular church has a whole slew of people to greet you as you come in. (It’s a bit like Walmart without the carts). And I wasn’t sure how welcome I would be, given my past desertion(s).

In the end, I decided, you know what – maybe I’ll always be a lousy Christian.

Maybe I’ll never be as joyful and faithful and good as the “other Christians.” Or maybe deep down we’re all the same – wavering between faith and doubt, sin and repentance, quiet ponderings and charismatic worship.

So I’m going to keep going for a while because, maybe it’s selfish, but it makes me feel good and I need it – kind of like going to the gym.

GERRY CLOUTIER at MYERS HYUNDAI: Proud to Lead the Bell’s Corners #1 Hyundai Team in Canada

by Brian Turner

With over 25 years experience in putting people in the right auto, Gerry Cloutier is proud to announce he has joined the Myers Hyundai Team in Bells Corners. As general manager, Gerry’s job at one of Hyundai’s busiest retailers might seem on the surface to be a challenging task, but according to him, his super-crew of department managers and staff makes for smooth days. In fact this crew has won the Hyundai President Award of Merit for the last 4 years.

Getting customers introduced to Myers Hyundai is a breeze thanks to a very accessible location just off the 417 at Moodie, making it a quick trip from almost any area of the greater Ottawa/Gatineau area. Gerry knows from his years of experience that most Hyundai shoppers aren’t looking for a long drawn-out process when purchasing or leasing a new or pre-owned vehicle. Gerry is happy to report that at Myers Hyundai, next-day deliveries on in-stock units are the rule, not the exception. In fact, their prep and detail teams have earned Myers Hyundai the title of #1 Pre-owned Retailer in Canada. Myers buyers don’t get the run-around that’s unfortunately all too common at large urban retailers. From greeting to delivery, Myers staff have one goal in common; making it easy, not difficult to get the right vehicle at the right price with terms that fit every budget.

But smooth operations don’t stop at sales and leasing. Gerry notes that the service team consistently delivers the highest quality in the region according to customer surveys and keeps the longest shop hours so their customers don’t have to wait days or weeks for an appointment.

There’s really no big secret to Myers Hyundai’s success. Gerry has built his career and reputation on treating customers and employees alike in a fair and equitable manner. He’s proud that every sales consultant, service advisor and manager at Myers does the same. This is the philosophy that Myers was built on starting with their first store in Ottawa in 1942.

Like Myers, Hyundai has grown and now boasts a successful award winning product line that can satisfy every consumer from those looking for an economical entry-level sedan all the way up to the ultimate in personal luxury vehicles: Genesis and Equus. For every family size and every budget, Gerry and his team can make it work. I should know: Gerry’s been putting vehicles in my driveway for years. I’m happy to recommend him to anyone looking for a straight deal without any games from someone who respects their time and business.

EMC news - A new partnership with a sporting event aims to raise much needed awareness and funds for the Kidney Foundation of Canada.

Capital Vélo Fest bike festival will hit the streets on June 1-2 and this year the Kidney Foundation of Canada has partnered with the festival. Bruce Hill, senior development manager for the Eastern Ontario chapter said the foundation felt like a natural partnership.

“We teach those who use our resources about healthy lifestyles, good nutrition, which is really important for people going through kidney failure or dialysis,” Hill said. “Partnering with Capital Vélo Fest for us is about sending a message about living this healthy lifestyle.”

Hill said the event is meant to help out families and kidney patients in the Ottawa region.

Bettina Iraci’s 12 year-old son, Dawson, have been named ambassadors for the event.

When Dawson was born, he had underdeveloped kidneys and has undergone numerous surgeries, including a transplant when he was four, and now kidney failure.

“Exercise is important for anyone to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but for kidney patients, whether they are on dialysis, posttransplant or those that have been newly diagnosed with kidney disease it is very important as it promotes energy, makes for better sleep habits, and of course controls weight gain,” Iraci said.

Iraci said both Dawson and herself are excited about the upcoming festival.

“The Kidney Foundation is always promoting exercise and a healthy lifestyle and what a better way to get that than cycling with the whole family,” she said. “This is also a great opportunity for the community to be exposed to what the Kidney Foundation is all about and the wonderful things they do to help ease the burden of kidney disease that affect so many people in our community.”

Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean SUPPORT FOR VETERANS INITIATIVE It was my honour to bring together key players in the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social housing and support services this past week to ensure that they have the tools they need to assist Canadian veterans who may arrive on their doorsteps. At a special meeting held at Ottawa City Hall, I was able to introduce these important service organizations to the services offered by Veterans Affairs Canada and the Royal Canadian Legion. This was a result of the initiative that I had started last year through a motion to Council, directing staff to look for ways to improve our services to veterans through our own networks.

My goal is to ensure that homeless or veterans in need are connected with services available to them by building a more integrated support network among the various agencies. By increasing the effectiveness of current support programs and identification processes, fewer veterans would fall through the cracks and be overlooked.

I would like to thank Georges Lariviere, Veterans Affairs Canada; David Gordon, Royal Canadian Legion, Ontario Command; Robyn Zettler, Royal Canadian Legion, Ontario Command; and retired Captain Mark Eldridge for taking the time to share their programs and experiences with those in attendance.

If you would like to learn more about this initiative or get involved, please contact my office.

EMC news - The Glebe Annex Community Association is becoming more active every day in the area, having recently signed up to participate in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cleaning the Capital.

The spring clean up will be the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first community-wide event and association president Sylvia Milne said the event will take place at 10 a.m. on May 11 at 265 Carling Ave. The event is looking to both spruce up the neighbourhood and serve as a way for residents to get to know one another. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are treating it like a social event, a way to meet more people and get more members signed up with the association,â&#x20AC;? Milne said, adding that the association will officially launch its membership drive at the cleanup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best time, to catch people before the summer months,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The cost to join the association is a $10 for the year. The money will

go towards maintaining a website as well as funding different initiatives, events and activities hosted by the association.

There are around 1,600 residents living in the Glebe Annex, Milne said and so far the association has 125 members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we can grow,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes time, but I think we will be successful.â&#x20AC;?

When it comes to participation in the clean up, residents do not need to register before hand, Milne added, saying everyone is welcome to help out with the cleaning or to simply meet with members of the association.

CLEANING THE CAPITAL

This year, the city will be celebrating Cleaning the Capitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20th year.

The program sees cleaning supplies, garbage bags, yard waste bags and graffiti removal kits handed out to residents who then chose areas of their neighbourhood to tidy up.

According to the city, since its inception in 1994, more than 850,000 volunteers have participated in 13,100 cleanup projects.

Cleaning equipment will be provided and distributed by the association. Timbits and coffee will also be available. For more information about the clean up event or the association, visit glebeannex.ca.

Blais back from a brush with death Chaperal community when Blais had the heart attack.

Now, he is looking forward to sitting on his new porch with something to drink and a newspaper in his hands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been reading the news on my phone,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just touching a newspaper and reading it will feel good.â&#x20AC;?

Blais has been able to test out his new home on the weekends since Easter, when doctors allowed him to spend the night away from the rehab centre for the first time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I needed to be home,â&#x20AC;? an emotional Blais said as he described watching his son hunt for Easter eggs.

Support from members of his community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many of whom he has never met â&#x20AC;&#x201C; touched Blais. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A tremendous thank you for their encouragement, support and patience,â&#x20AC;? he said.

COUNCIL LIFE

Doctors didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize what had happened for a long time because Blais was confined to a hospital bed with a severe case of pneumonia just days after emerging from a medically induced coma.

But the painful pins-andneedles sensation Blais now lives with proves that his nerve is regenerating and doctors believe heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have almost full function of his right leg by the end of the year. Until then, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep walking with a leg brace and a cane.

The spectre of brain damage was a very real threat, said

the councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Marta Blais. Doctors werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure how long oxygen was cut off from Blaisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brain. But when he awoke and began pulling at cables he was connected to and writing â&#x20AC;&#x153;H20â&#x20AC;? on paper to ask for a drink of water, Marta said she knew he would be OK. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a second lease on life,â&#x20AC;?

Blais said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ninety-nine per cent of people would have died with what happened to me.â&#x20AC;?

MISSING HIS SON

Blais can already walk distances of up to a kilometre, but he is a ways off from running after his three-year-old son, Stephen Jr. A three-year-old has a tough time understanding something like a heart attack.

When Marta explained to her son what happened to his dad, she said he had a broken heart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He asked, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do I have a broken heart, too?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Marta said.

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais takes a final spin on a recumbent cross-trainer as part of his therapy during his last day at the rehabilitation centre of the Ottawa hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general campus on April 30.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long after he moved out of intensive care in March that Blais began to dip his toes back into the waters of city hall.

The first-term councillor is beyond grateful for the efforts of his office staff in his absence.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be leaning on them more than he used to when he returns to city hall, Blais said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of my learning pro-

EMC news - After months of setbacks, being discharged from the hospital five days early was a huge victory for Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais following his Jan. 6 heart attack.

The 32-year-old couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay idle in his last day at the rehabilitation centre at the Ottawa Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General campus. Rocking the wheels of his wheelchair back and forth, Blais waited impatiently for his final spin on a cross-trainer on April 30. The next day, Blais packed his bag and was discharged.

A month ago, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand.

As the councillor reflected about his recovery on his final day at the rehab centre, even he found it difficult to fathom how close he came to death. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had gotten down to the last minute when they were going to shut it off.â&#x20AC;?

Blais broke down in tears as he spoke of medicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; efforts to resuscitate him at the Montfort Hospital.

The fact that he even made it to the hospital was a miracle, Blais said. Doctors told him one of his arteries was likely 100 per cent blocked when he collapsed at the GoodLife Fitness in Place Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;OrlĂŠans that day. But since he was at a gym, staff trained to deal with those situations sprung into action.

An ambulance happened to be parked in the mallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking lot.

It brought him to Montfort Hospital, where the head of cardiology, Dr. Chamoun, was doing a rare stint in the emergency room that day.

That decision saved his life, Blais said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the dominoes that could possibly fall into place did at the right moment,â&#x20AC;?

Blais said.

Doctors chalked the heart attack at such a young age up to genes, Blais said. Both his grandfathers had multiple heart attacks, but Blais himself had no warning signs that something was amiss. He was tired and he had begun working out with a personal trainer five months before the heart attack in order to drop a few pounds, but there was nothing out of the ordinary, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 30, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you need an EKG (electrocardiogram) on a regular basis,â&#x20AC;? he said.

In the rush to save his life by inserting three stents to reopen his artery, Blaisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s femoral nerve was crushed, rendering his right leg immobile.

cess is how better to delegate to my staff,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m learning how to have a better balance.â&#x20AC;?

Attending community barbeques, reading reports and having a coffee with concerned constituents doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really feel like work, Blais said.

But he is learning that all parts of the job take energy and focus and can cause stress.

Blais was hoping to make an appearance at a recent city hall committee meeting on a code of conduct for council members, but he watched it on TV instead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than one person came in and asked me if it was that boring a day that this was the only thing on,â&#x20AC;? Blais said with a laugh.

The councillor hopes to make it to a few committee meetings before the summer break and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s targeting the fall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when his son returns to school â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for when he might be up to returning as a regular fixture at city hall.

Beyond that, Blais is taking it one step at a time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the best-kept secret in town that more than one political party has approached him about running for higher political office, and Blais isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ruling anything out.

But seeking re-election as Cumberland councillor in 2014 is a sure bet, he said. As is putting his family first.

Sold into slavery Human trafficking is on the rise around the world. It’s estimated that 27 million people are slaves. And it’s happening here Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Michelle was only 15 years old when she was forced into prostitution.

She was recruited during a vulnerable time in her life, when her parents were going through a rough patch and she was having a hard time.

“Suddenly, I felt that instead of being needed and wanted, I was alone,” said Michelle.

She met some older boys who showed an interest, talked and listened to her. They added her to an instant messaging site where they chatted regularly.

“They were so nice,” she said, adding they had a car and good clothes.

One day, Michelle was taken to an apartment and told to do anything the man inside asked of her. Her chaperon would wait.

“I had no clue what he was talking about,” she said.

But she learned.

She did what the man asked and was handed a wad of cash as she left.

“That was my first lesson,” she said.

Michelle’s pimp kept her under control by using video as blackmail, physically assaulting her and threatening to go after her younger sister if she tried to escape. Men kept a constant watch on Michelle outside her school, her job and her home.

Eventually, her parents kicked her out of the house. She lost her legitimate employment and she dropped out of school.

“I hit rock bottom,” said Michelle.

In the end she picked up the phone and called Walk With Me, an emergency care organization for victims of human trafficking.

Michelle escaped.

“I’m thankful every day for that,” she said.

IT’S HAPPENING IN OTTAWA

Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing enterprises in the world, second only to drug sales and quickly rising.

It is estimated that more than 27 million people worldwide are slaves, with girls between the ages of 12 and 22 the most at risk.

And it’s happening here.

“It is very real. It’s happening in Ottawa,” said Tasha Henderson, education and training co-ordinator for Persons Against the Crime of Trafficking Humans (PACT-Ottawa). “I think a lot of people aren’t willing to accept it or don’t know about it.”

PACT-Ottawa created Project Protect, a program on domestic and international human trafficking to teach youth how to identify and protect themselves from being exploited.

Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing enterprises in the world. Persons Against the Crime of Trafficking Humans (PACT-Ottawa) created Project Protect, a program on domestic and international human trafficking to teach youth how to identify and protect themselves from being exploited.

College and PACT-Ottawa volunteers, spoke to Grade 12 students at Holy Trinity Catholic High School in Katimavik earlier this month.

“It’s something we are seeing a

lot,” Clow told the assembled students. “There’s an incredible amount of trafficking going on.”

Human trafficking is the illegal sale of people for forced labour,

organ extraction and prostitution.

Victims are kept under the control of their traffickers and exploited.

See OTTAWA, page 15

Human trafficking rakes in $32 billion annually in profits Human trafficking brings in “a profit level higher than Nike, Starbucks and Google combined.” The 2011 annual report published by Walk With Me Canada Victim Services highlights the alarming numbers in human trafficking both domestically and internationally.

• Human trafficking has estimated profits of $32 billion annually.

• Approximately 27 million people worldwide are slaves, with girls ages 12 to 22 the

14

most at risk.

• Eighty per cent of people trafficked are women and children; 70 per cent are trafficked for sexual exploitation.

• Every 60 seconds, two children are trafficked for sexual exploitation.

Walk With Me has helped numerous people. In 2011, the organization: • Received 79 domestic crisis calls and four from international victims.

• Had 29 domestic and two international residents in its

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, May 9, 2013

safe house.

• Provided 2,124 hours of care for domestic victims and 168 internationally.

• Provided first response to 44 people, both male and female. Thirty-six out of the 44 were women.

One-hundred per cent of the women were successful in permanently severing ties with their traffickers.

All of the females eventually told police they had been trafficked. Ninety-four per cent of those cases went to,

are, or were before the courts.

Human trafficking charges were laid in all completed cases.

CRIMINAL CODE AMENDMENTS

Walk With Me founder Timea Nagy and chair of the board of directors Robert Hooper, along with Manitoba MP Joy Smith, also created amendments to the Criminal Code with Bill C-310, which was passed last year.

Canadians who commit human trafficking offenses outside the country can now be prosecuted in Canada. The second amendment provides specific definitions of exploitive conduct, providing courts with clear examples.

“Slavery has not been eradicated in Canada or in the world,” said Hooper in his message from the board.

“Having said that, many more people know that human trafficking involves the exploitation of people through force,

coercion, threat, fraud or deception and may include acts generally defined as human rights abuses.

“Hopefully ... many people have gone from victim to survivor, many others have avoided being trafficked altogether, and hopefully one or two potential traffickers have seen the amendments to the Criminal Code and have thought twice about their activities.”

Ottawa case highlights human trafficking Continued from page 14

Last year, two 15-year-old girls and one 16-year-old female were arrested and charged with recruiting and trafficking other teenagers in Ottawa.

One victim was recruited at the St. Laurent Shopping Centre, others through social media sites, with seven victims under the age of 18, said Clow.

The case is currently before the court.

At a news conference last year, Ottawa police Staff Sgt. John McGetrick said the victims were forced into prostitution. Three individual reports in late May and early June triggered the investigation.

It is alleged that a number of girls between the ages of 13 and 17 were lured to an address in south Ottawa and subsequently driven to other locations for the purposes of prostitution. McGetrick said the ages of both the victims and the suspects made this a “disturbing and shocking” case.

According to PACT-Ottawa, the average age of recruitment into the sex trade in Canada is 14.

branding • Blackmail with recorded video footage • Instilling a fear of police and authority Many victims fear asking for help because of acts they were forced to commit.

“A lot of these victims don’t want to come forward,” said Fuso.

But the police are trained to treat them as victims, not as perpetrators of a crime.

“Their mentality isn’t, ‘Oh, they committed the crime,’” said Clow.

The police want victims to come forward to get help.

WALK WITH ME

Walk With Me Canada Victim Services was created in 2009 by Timea Eva Nagy, a survivor of human trafficking. She was forced into the Toronto sex trade after immigrating to Canada.

The organization, based in Hamilton, Ont., provides first response care for victims and services and support throughout Canada. It also raises awareness and educates on issues of slavery.

You have to sell a dream. Whatever dream she has, you use it … once you have that, you have everything.

KING PIMP FEATURED IN WALK WITH ME VIDEO

“With two recent high profile cases of youth domestic trafficking and recruitment in Ottawa, this issue is gaining more attention,” said Christina Harrison Baird, chairwoman and director of policy and legal affairs for PACT-Ottawa. “We know that crime prevention through education is a major element in the fight against human trafficking.”

Currently, there are 77 trafficking cases before Canadian courts, said Fuso.

THE GAME

The “game” is a term that many pimps use, said Clow. The main goal of the game is to make money, maintain a “stable” of girls and/or boys, and run a tight ship.

“Traffickers do their ground work really well,” said Henderson. The primary tools many traffickers are using include Facebook and other social media sites to track and recruit victims.

Any personal information posted online can become a lever to lure young people into the sex trade and keep them there.

Traffickers use a number of methods to control their victims and keep them from seeking help: • Threatening the victim and his or her family • Forced drug addiction, tattoos or

Walk With Me created a video, shown to the Grade 12 class. It features King, a pimp, and Michelle, a survivor, both from Ontario who share their personal stories about domestic trafficking.

The video offers both sides of a disturbing story.

King looks for vulnerable girls, those who feel unloved or unwanted.

“Take the king of the jungle,” he said. “When he’s about to hunt, he doesn’t just get out there. He does research.

“He looks, sees which animal is weak, which one’s vulnerable … then he finally makes his move.”

King often uses social media as a point of contact.

“You have to sell a dream,” said King. “Whatever dream she has, you use it … once you have that, you have everything.”

After bringing a girl into his circle, he lavishes her with attention and material items. The “dream” can take months or years to sell.

Once hooked, he breaks her down with violent outbursts to “keep her on her toes.” He tells her he needs money quick and knows a way she can help. After all, she owes him for all the gifts.

“I have product, not girls,” said King, who rakes in around $4 million a year through human trafficking.

One male working under King

was caught and charged a fine of $200,000. “That’s a business expense,” said King.

“I’ve never been caught,” he added. “Why would I stop?”

BE READY

Fuso, a Barrhaven resident, and Clow, who lives in Beacon Hill, discussed ways people may be targeted with the Grade 12 class.

People who are teased and bullied, who have an unstable home life or feel isolated can become a prime target for exploitation.

“People are trafficked and still live at home with their parents,” said Clow.

Fuso and Clow created a chart and the students listed what it meant to be a girl or a boy in society’s terms.

Females, they said, are passive, emotional, care about their appearance, and can be sexual objects. Males are muscular, aggressive, dominant, emotionless and players.

“No one really fits into these boxes,” said Fuso. “When people don’t fit to these gender stereotypes they can become … a target.

“People can have an easier time exploiting them.”

Canadians are in a position to do preventative work, to be ready when people come forward, said Henderson.

“Think about how we’re treating people; we push people back to their trafficker because they come forward and we don’t believe them,” said Henderson. “We shame them or we blame the victim and it (keeps) them from really seeking the help that they need.”

Aside from outreach and education, PACT-Ottawa’s Project Protect is also training front line workers through its Train the Trainer program.

“The goal of Train the Trainer is to provide front line service provid-

According to PACT-Ottawa, the average age of recruitment into the sex trade in Canada is 14. ers in how to support a victim once they come forward,” said Henderson, “to create a strong prime line of who sees the victim first and provides resources.”

PACT-Ottawa has also teamed with St. Joe’s Women’s Centre, located in downtown Ottawa, to provide 24/7 assistance for victims of trafficking.

“They have agreed to be the first

respondent,” said Henderson. “The police and RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) know to refer people their way.

“I would implore (people) just to start conversations about trafficking and not think about it happening just over there, overseas. It’s happening in Canada.”

Getting help: it is possible Leaving a trafficker can be one of the most difficult and dangerous times in a victim’s life.

But it is possible.

“There’s a small window when women are able to leave or feel empowered to leave,” said Tasha Henderson, education and training co-ordinator for Persons Against the Crime of Trafficking Humans (PACT-Ottawa).

Because of the financial aspect to human trafficking, “traffickers have a different interest in getting their traffickers back” than an abusive lover would, said Henderson.

A victim must feel safe in order to leave his or her captor. There are a number of services available to make the relocation as secure as possible.

St. Joe’s Women’s Centre, located in downtown Ottawa, is the primary support for local victims of human trafficking, said Henderson, with a 24-hour on-call respondent.

“The best thing that (a victim) can do is to contact the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) or

Ottawa Police Service and speak to someone about it, or call directly to St. Joes,” said Henderson. “We’re in a position where we can … (be) ready when people come forward.”

The city has been working a wildlife strategy since early 2010, when council ordered a review following a series of issues with coyotes.

City’s wildlife strategy divides opinion Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The city wants residents’ feedback on its proposal for dealing with wildlife conflicts within city limits, but West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry thinks the issues just require common sense.

The city has been picking away at a wildlife strategy since early 2010, when council ordered a review following a series of issues with coyotes. Since then, a number of moose have had to be destroyed and urban sprawl has introduced suburban homes to areas that have habitats for animals like wild turkeys.

The strategy proposing a “balanced and humane approach” will be considered by the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee at a yet-to-be-determined date.

The biggest thing missing from the discussion about managing wildlife in Ottawa is the responsibility residents must take in living alongside wildlife if they choose to reside in a rural or semi-rural area, El-Chantiry said.

“You’re dwelling in an area that wildlife used to call their home. They still think it’s their home,” he said.

Indeed, the city’s draft wildlife strategy emphasizes that many human-wildlife conflicts can be prevented or solved by better understanding the dynamic.

“Many conflicts result from carelessness or lack of knowledge of private citizens and public officials regarding the needs and behaviours of wildlife, especially urban wildlife. Property owners may inadvertently create the conditions that attract wildlife and put them at risk,” the proposed strategy reads.

The West Carleton councillor said he gets frustrated when he hears stories about residents offering piles of feed in their yard to attract deer. Not only does that encourage animals to roam around inhabited areas and potentially cause danger, it makes them reliant on humans and unable to survive on their own.

Most problems can be prevented by avoiding those types of activity, El-Chantiry said.

“We don’t need to have a strategy,” he said. “But I am willing to learn if someone can come up with a bright idea.

Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, who heads the agricultural and rural affairs committee and has served as the polticial leadership on the issue, did not return repeated phone calls.

The Ontario Wildlife Coalition slammed Thompson in a press release on May 1.

“In case anyone was under the illusion that the City of Ottawa was going to mirror other modern cities and adopt a progres-

If Coun. Thompson’s lethal approach to human/wildlife conflicts is any measure, then we are going to see an escalation of wild animals being killed in Ottawa LIZ WHITE ANIMAL ALLIANCE OF CANADA

sive approach to wildlife, that illusion came crashing down when Mayor Watson handed the strategy to Coun. Doug Thompson”, stated coalition member Anita Utas, a resident of Stittsville.

Utas cites Thompson’s support of a coyote cull as a sign that Thompson’s leadership in the issue means the city is not willing to seek out “modern” and non-lethal approaches to dealing with wildlife.

“If Coun. Thompson’s lethal approach to human/wildlife conflicts is any measure, then we are going to see an escalation of wild animals being killed in Ottawa,” coalition and Animal Alliance of Canada spokeswoman Liz White stated in the press release.

The city’s role is quite limited when it comes to dealing with conflicts between people and animals. Most of that responsibility is supposed to lay with the provincial Ministry of Natural Resources. But that department has been neutered over time by incremental budget cuts, El-Chantiry said – leaving the city to pick up the slack.

“In the absence of the MNR doing their job, we are trying to be nice (and) pick up the slack,” he said.

At this point, police officers are responding to calls more often than ministry staff, which is why there might be a need for a city wildlife strategy, El-Chantiry said.

Another issue to consider is that Ottawa is a “hot spot” for species at risk, according to the draft strategy, with as many as 52 species at risk known or suspected to make their habitat here. Twenty nine of those species are protected as threatened or endangered species under the provincial Endangered Species Act. The strategy suggests the city is missing opportunities to promote its natural character.

“How many residents of Ottawa know that moose live within a 15-minute drive of Ottawa city hall, or that Lac Deschênes is recognized as a globally significant bird area, or that 52 species at risk can be found within the city’s boundaries?” the draft strategy reads. “How many of Ottawa’s visitors or potential visitors know that they can paddle past turtles and herons on the shores of the idyllic Mississippi River or the Morris Island Conservation Area, fish for muskellunge within walking distance of Parliament Hill, picnic and pick berries on the Carp Hills Rock Barrens, or identify the winter tracks of fishers and otters in the woods and wetlands of the Marlborough Forest? Ottawa is blessed with an abundance of wildlife in their natural habitats, easily accessible to the public, of which it could and should boast.”

The strategy suggests doing that by planning an urban wildlife speaker series and additional school outreach and more information on the city’s website, ottawa.ca.

Asparagus, goat cheese bruschetta quick and tasty

Cooked Wild Atlantic Lobster The first catch of the season has arrived. Cooked on the wharf to lock in the “fresh from the sea” flavour and delivered fresh throughout the week from Canada’s east coast. But you’d better get cracking – they’re only here until May 22nd or while supplies last.

EMC lifestyle - The topping for this appetizer can be made ahead, but assemble the bruschetta just before serving.

The topping is also delicious tossed in a green salad.

Preparation time: 30 minutes. Cooking time: five minutes. Makes 24 appetizers.

INGREDIENTS

• 250 g (8 oz) asparagus, trimmed • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 45 ml (3 tbsp) extra-virgin olive oil • 25 ml (2 tbsp) chopped, drained, oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes

• Salt and pepper • 90 g (3 oz) goat cheese • 24 crostini (toasted baguette slices), cooled PREPARATION

In pot of boiling, salted water, cook asparagus until tender, which should take about three minutes. Drain the water, then rinse or plunge the asparagus into cold water and drain again. Pat it dry with a paper towel.

Chop the asparagus into small pieces and place in a bowl. Add the garlic, oil, to-

matoes, and salt and pepper to taste.

Spread a little of the cheese onto each crostini and then top with the asparagus mixture.

Serve immediately.

To make crostini, cut a baguette into one centimetre (1/2-inch) thick slices and place in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Bake in an oven at 200 C (400 F) for five to six minutes or until the baguette is lightly toasted.

Mother’s Day is about looking good and feeling great from the inside out!

Begin her morning with a cup of warm water and the juice of half of a lemon to wake up the digestion. Save the other half of the lemon to make an awakening hot towel by mixing hot water with the juice of the other half of the lemon. Lemon is a natural astringent and will leave her skin feeling fresh, clean and glowing. Then treat Mom to a refreshing bowl of quinoa with berries and lemon zest. The high fibre helps to balance blood sugar and helps collagen production to keep her skin glowing and healthy.

GRAPESEED AVOCADO OIL NIGHT MOISTURIZER

As a gift you can make her a Grapeseed Avocado Oil Night Moisturizer with this simple recipe, and then enjoy your Mother’s Day with family and friends!

Grapeseed oil (great for normal, oily, or acne-prone skin) Avocado oil (incredibly regenerating, this oil is known for its firming & anti-aging abilities – as a bonus it penetrates deep into the skin for better absorption of nutrients like vitamin A, D, E giving you wonderful anti-inflammatory properties.)

Fill your small bottle just under ⅔ of the way with grapeseed oil. Add the avocado oil until the bottle is almost full. Apply topically to the face at night to help moisturize and reduce fine lines.

The importance of strength training: Develop strong bones – strength training increases bone density and reduces the risk of osteoporosis.

Control your weight – as you gain muscle, your body will burn calories more efficiently – which can result in weight loss.

Reduce your risk of injury – building muscle helps protect your joints from injury. It can also contribute to better balance, which can assist in maintaining your independence as you age.

Boost stamina – as you get stronger, you won’t fatigue as easily.

Manage chronic conditions – strength training can reduce symptoms and signs of many chronic conditions such as arthritis, back pain, depression, diabetes and osteoporosis.

Sharpen your focus – some research suggests that regular strength training helps improve attention for older adults.

Each day of week marked with special chores

M

y sister Audrey said she was tired of the same old routine day in and day out.

Since I was so very young when she made this comment, I had no idea what routine was. So I asked Audrey to print the word in my scribbler and say what the word meant. Even at that early age I was very interested in words and kept a record in a fat scribbler whenever I heard one I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard before.

My scribbler was getting quite thick and even though I went over it often, I would forget what a word meant and Audrey would have to explain it to me all over again.

Well, Audrey could say what she liked about routine and how bored she was with it, but I liked how our lives on the farm were so orderly, and as far as I was concerned I wanted nothing to change.

Every Monday morning, our beds didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be made up because that was the day the sheets were stripped and Mother did the washing. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if the snow was coming down in buckets, or it was raining so hard you could barely see the barns, Monday was wash day. I knew that on Monday night there would be fresh sheets on our beds, taken right off the clothes line and smelling of spring and the outdoors. That night, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind in the least going to bed.

Every Tuesday when we came from school, we could smell in the

kitchen the scent of newly ironed clothes. Shirts would be draped over chairs, tea towels stacked neatly in a pile on the kitchen table ready to be put in the drawer in the back-to-the-wall cupboard. Even our pinny aprons would be ironed and hanging on the hook by the stove. Without fail, Tuesday was the day the ironing was done.

At mealtimes, things never varied. Breakfast was the very same every morning: big bowls of porridge, fried potatoes, back bacon and thick slices of homemade bread slathered with butter and jam.

Dinner was always at noon -- there was no such thing as lunch in the middle of the day. The routine of mid-day dinner never varied. Father expected, and got, meat, potatoes, one or two different vegetables and an ample piece of homemade pie. After all, his work had begun at dawn, and even though his breakfast was ample, by noon it had worn off and he was more than ready for what he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;a decent meal.â&#x20AC;?

The routine continued at supper: meat and potatoes, but dessert would be preserves. We never went to bed without something to tide us over to morning. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine this routine being broken. This was all part of our life on the farm.

Friday night was always the time to get ready for peddling Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wares in Renfrew the next day.

There was a regular routine that never varied as long as we lived in Northcote and was one of my favourite evenings in the entire week.

Audrey and I would gather the eggs from the hen house. Audrey would wash them in warm soapy water and I would dry them with a clean flour bag tea towel. Mother would weigh them into their sizes on the egg scale -- small, medium and large -- and we would carefully pack them into 11-quart baskets.

Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sticky buns would be wrapped in wax paper, freshly plucked chickens singed and laid out on the bake table on a clean white sheet, ready to be packed in the Model T in the morning.

Then every Saturday without fail, Mother headed into Renfrew to go door-to-door with what we had prepared the night before.

Perhaps this was why Audrey complained so much about the routine: she was usually left at home to clean the house, while I was allowed to go with Mother.

But that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean I was spared from Saturday chores. When we got back to the farm, it was my job to churn the butter in the middle of the kitchen. Wrapped in a long white pinny and sitting

labour had paid off, and soon there would be butter. Saturday was butter day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that never varied.

Saturday was also bake day.

Bread would be ready for the oven by the time we got back from Renfrew, pie crusts would be filled and as always a slab cake would be at the ready just in case neighbours dropped in for a game of euchre that night.

Every night, without fail, we had our prayers. They were said on our knees around Mother who sat in the rocking chair in the corner of the big upstairs hall.

Our prayers never varied either.

Sometimes we prayed so long, I would doze off with my head on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knee. Another day would

City rejects idea to open baseball stadium other suitable activities that will be consistent with the site and do not cause undo damage to the field or facility.”

Another issue is that the proposal is unsolicited and sole-sourced – a problem from the city’s perspective, MacDonald said.

He said he doesn’t agree with the explanations the city is providing.

“So why not do a tender?” he asked.

Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A former Ottawa baseball team’s general manager says Ottawa is failing its kids by not opening up its baseball stadium this summer.

Duncan MacDonald, who used to run the Intercounty Baseball League Ottawa Fat Cats, says the city has rejected his offer to re-open and manage the stadium for community baseball and events this summer.

The stadium could sit unused this summer after the city failed to renew the Fat Cats’ lease so it could keep the facility available for renovations needed to upgrade it for AA baseball.

But so far, no AA team has materialized for Ottawa, leaving the renovation schedule unclear.

Instead of mothballing the stadium, MacDonald and his company, Marketing Breakthroughs, proposed the city hire them to manage the facility for the summer.

Their plan includes hosting family fun days, baseball camps for Little League players and hosting National Capital Baseball League adult games.

But the city isn’t biting, MacDonald said.

He received an email from the city’s general manager of parks and recreation saying that the city might have some occasional programming at the stadium throughout the summer, but it wants to keep the schedule flexible to accommodate repairs and upgrades.

Meanwhile, Little League teams are emailing him to say they have to turn kids away be-

Former Fat Cats general manager Duncan MacDonald isn’t getting any traction from the city for his idea to run community baseball programs and events in the empty Ottawa Baseball Stadium this summer. cause there is a shortage of diamond space.

“We have a waiting list for Little League,” MacDonald said. “We have failed our kids.”

The Fat Cats re-ignited enthusiasm for baseball in Ottawa, MacDonald said, and now the city’s Little League teams can’t keep up with the demand.

“Now, we can’t even get enough respect for

them to consider our proposal,” MacDonald said.

According to the email MacDonald shared, the city official wrote: “…we will not be looking to attract seasonal or league play or any organized activities that will require regular and continual use throughout the summer. Rather, we will focus on booking tournaments and

That’s not in the works, according to the email from the city parks and rec manager.

“Because of this approach, we will not be issuing a request for proposal to hire a facility management company to animate the stadium and will coordinate any bookings through the city’s existing allocations unit,” the email reads.

MacDonald said the city underestimated how difficult it would be to find investors to support AA baseball in Ottawa and he doesn’t believe local investors are willing to step up to the plate and take the risk.

A Champions for Ottawa Baseball drive for season’s tickets deposits for a future AA team mostly relied on soliciting local businesses for support, MacDonald claimed.

“That’s not the groundswell of community support,” he said.

MacDonald wouldn’t say what his next step on the proposal will be, but he said, “we’re not done.”

“Somebody has to speak up for baseball in the community,” he said.

Osgoode Township Museum president Gary Briggs stands near the sight of a new heritage school garden which will be installed in front of the museum this spring and summer.

Heritage garden to grow in Vernon emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - Inch by inch and row by row, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to make their garden grow.

Staff at the Osgoode Township Heritage Society and Museum are finally breaking ground on a heritage school garden, as part of a five-year plan to landscape the Vernon museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property for agricultural interpretation.

Staff at the museum wanted to start their garden construction last summer, but the project was delayed when planning took longer than expected in conjunction with a larger long-term plan mandated by the city.

But with the help of heritage garden designer Lynn Armstrong, staff will officially break ground on Saturday, May 4 with a sod-turning ceremony and reception at the museum beginning at 10 a.m.

Museum president Gary Briggs said within the next five years as much as a one third of the old schoolhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property could be covered in heritage flowers, vegetables, grains and trees.

Phase one of the project will be to build a heritage school garden, approximately 100 feet by 100 feet in size, that will feature heritage vegetable and perennial gardens as well as a number of plots set aside for students and community groups to get involved.

Students would be given access to heritage seeds and given free range to plant what they want. Throughout the spring they will be able to tend to their vegetables and taste the fruits of their labour.

Phase one will begin as soon as the ground is dry in May, and should wrap up in the summer.

Briggs said the school garden tradition came from Upper Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education commissioner Egerton Ryerson in the mid-1880s, when he decreed that all schools should have studentrun vegetable and flower gardens.

Since the museum was once a school, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice fit, Briggs said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an incredible educational opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If kids start gardening, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an educative thing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have as much opportunity to learn now.â&#x20AC;?

FUTURE PLANS

After this summer, the museum will begin work on more gardens behind the main building and beside the barn, including a heritage apple orchard. A pathway will stretch from Lawrence Street to the barn and over to the garden in the front. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As part of the city of Ottawa weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tasked with telling the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agricultural story,â&#x20AC;? said museum manager Robin Cushnie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done much with our land, so this is taking us out of our proverbial box.â&#x20AC;?

This summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project will cost about $10,000 and the five-year landscaping project will likely cost about $50,000.

Briggs said the museum is looking for volunteers to help during several work days this spring, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to partner with a high school class to make a small footbridge for a new pedestrian entrance off Bank Street.

Grateful for CHEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Support Jonathan was diagnosed with epilepsy, a complex neurological condition. Although some people with epilepsy have mild symptoms, others like

him unconscious.

After the initial excitement that his seizures were under control thanks to medications commonly used to treat epilepsy, they returned with a vengeance. In fact during one such episode his parents had to call 911 to ensure their son would make it to CHEO as quickly as possible because he was struggling to breathe.

By Isabelle Mailloux Pulkinghorn

Jonathan Puerto was born healthy but a few weeks later began having seizures after he woke up from his naps. Worried, his parents Elizabeth Pineda and Jose Eduardo Puerto took him to their pediatrician who referred them to CHEO. Under the trusted care of Dr. Sharon Whiting, a pediatric neurologist, Jonathan underwent testing to identify the cause of the severe seizures he experienced on a daily basis, some of which left him

Tests revealed a lesion on the front left side of his brain, the result of a stroke he had likely suffered at birth. Then at six months of age, following additional testing to eliminate other conditions,

To make things worse, when Jonathan was six years old, he had a severe allergic reaction to the standard seizure drug that paramedics carry and went into anaphylactic shock.CHEO specialists were able to help him and to search for another medication to control his seizures.Dr. Whiting

Ottawa Public Health to lobby for Jonathan. They

now carries his new medication with him at all times to ensure paramedics can access it when he needs to be transported to CHEO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is the CHEO difference. Our sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctor took the time to not only identify the best medicine for him, but she made calls herself to various agencies to ensure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d use this new medication to keep our son safe,â&#x20AC;? explains Elizabeth, who shudders as she recalls a particularly severe seizure that lasted 24 hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without that care plan, Jonathanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life would be at risk.â&#x20AC;?

Further tests revealed that Jonathan also suffers from cerebral palsy, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s since been diagnosed as having autism.Despite those additional challenges, Jonathan is thriving. He speaks three languages, and is in a special needs grade four class where he loves working on the computer, playing with trucks and being with his friends. One role he particularly enjoys is that of older brother to his 18 month old sibling David.

Ultimately, the goal is for Jonathan to live his best life, seizure-free and safe. For now, there has been some progress: though he still has occasional seizures they only last 10 minutes or less, as opposed to hours at a timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and their frequency decreased from daily episodes to once every two weeks.If Jonathanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seizures were to come back at a higher frequency, the next step would be brain surgery but his parents are hopeful that he can avoid thatâ&#x20AC;Ś at least for a while. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jonathan is a good boy and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so handsome,â&#x20AC;? coos Elizabeth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My husband and I are very proud of him because despite all his health issues he remains a positive little boy who is very loving and caring.

Every morning he wakes up with a smile on his face.

We are lucky to have him and his brother David.â&#x20AC;?

Jonathan will be ten years old in June.With the help of his loving family, their friends and the expert CHEO staff, this young boy can trust that he is in good hands and that he will be well cared for with a treatment plan tailor-made to his needs.And this is something the Puerto family is truly grateful for.

Helping homeless veterans Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - When retired Navy captain Mark Eldridge met a number of homeless people downtown during a fundraiser last fall, he was surprised to learn he was looking into the eyes of his fellow brothersin-arms.

Last October, the Blackburn Hamlet resident and a group of other servicemen and women were in downtown Ottawa running a fundraiser for Soldier On, a group that supports ill and injured Canadian Forces members to be active in sport and recreational activities.

“That bothered us tremendously, that in the course of a few hours, we were engaged by six folks who are living on the street,” Eldridge said.

In a city with multiple layers of government and lots of resources, “How the hell does this happen?”

Eldridge asked.

A group of about a dozen people who were involved with the fundraiser realized there was a different opportunity for them to help their brothers-in-arms.

Since January, the group has grown to around 40 members who have visited the Ottawa Mission and Shepherds of Good Hope shelters to serve lunch on two occasions.

Soldiers Helping Soldiers members identify themselves as Canadian Forces through markings on their aprons and ball caps.

Eldridge is hoping this subtle action will open a door for veterans living on the margins.

Offering a sense of belonging and an opportunity to reconnect with a community they identify with can be a way in. It’s the first step in guiding them along the path to accessing the right services that are going to make a difference for them, Eldridge said.

“It’s just a way of bringing them back,” he said.

There is no way to know how many homeless people in Ottawa are former Canadian Forces members, said Dave Gordon, executive director of the Ontario command of the Royal Canadian Legion.

“We often get the question, ‘How many homeless veterans are there in Canada?’” Gordon said. “I always say, how many snowflakes fell in the last snowstorm? I have no idea.”

Eldridge said he was surprised that any veterans identified themselves during Soldier’s Helping Soliders’ first two shelter visits. He said there is no way to estimate the scope of the issue in Ottawa, but he guessed there may be in the neighbourhood of 100 homeless veterans in the city.

The issues they face and the conditions that led to them ending up on the streets are the same as the issues faced by any person who becomes homeless, Eldridge said.

“This story doesn’t wear a uniform,” he said. “It’s not about their military service.”

COMMON THREAD

Addiction is an issue and alcohol abuse is easy to fall into when there are few distractions on a military base, Eldridge said. But addiction is a common thread for many people who become homeless, he said.

“I doubt very much that the circumstances in the military are very different than anywhere else,” he said.

A lack of transferable job skills can lead to a downward spiral for anyone, Eldridge said. When their career experience amounts to “combat,” it makes sense that some veterans can’t find work after they complete their service.

By the time they reach that stage, they’ve completely forgotten the information they received – and thought they would never need – while they were in the military, Eldridge said.

It’s something Eldridge can connect with.

“When you see your brothers-inarms on the street … you have to do something about it,” he said.

“The underlying issue is that agencies aren’t asking the question,” Eldridge said.

After his talk, Eldridge was flooded with questions from people

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Retired Royal Canadian Navy captain and Blackburn Hamlet resident Mark Eldridge has created a group called Soldiers Helping Soldiers after a chance meeting with homeless veterans last fall. representing service providers who admitted they never thought to ask if someone served in the Canadian Forces. But all of them said it’s a practice they’d now adopt.

At the networking event, Eldridge

was shocked at how many organizations are available to assist veterans and others who are living on the streets.

Continuing to build that network is a priority, as is connecting with

veterans in need.

People looking for a way to connect a homeless or at-risk veteran with the proper services can email Eldridge at markeldridge_12529@ hotmail.com.

The Bank of Canada unveils its new polymer $5 and $10 bills on April 30. The bank said the new notes have security features to reduce the amount of counterfeiting.

Shiny, plastic bills unveiled Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest new bank notes became out of this world when Commander of the International Space Station Chris HadďŹ eld helped unveil the new bills.

The new polymer $5 and $10 bills were revealed at the Bank of Canada on April 30. Images on the bills include the Canadarm2 and Dextre-robotics innovations used to build and maintain the Space Station on the $5 bill and an image of the Canadian train traveling around the Rocky Mountains on the $10 bill. Orbiting more than 350 kilometres above the Earth HadďŹ eld showed off the new $5 bill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to inspire young Canadians to aim high.

This new $5 bill should do the same,â&#x20AC;? HadďŹ eld said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By giving prominence to Canadian achievements in space, this bank note reminds us that not even the sky is the limit.â&#x20AC;?

The front of the $5 features a portrait of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Prime Minister of Canada from 1896 to 1911.

Sir John A. Macdonald, who was Prime Minister of Canada from 1867-1873, and an image

of Macdonald from the time of the railway completion, is on the front of the note.

This is the ďŹ nal two notes in the new polymer series, with the $20, $50 and $100 unveiled previously.

Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty, Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney and Paul G. Smith, Chairman of the Board at VIA Rail Canada joined HadďŹ eld for the ofďŹ cial unveiling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadians can be very proud of their new polymer bank notes,â&#x20AC;? Flaherty said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unveiling of the ďŹ nal two notes in the series, one can see not only the unique story that each of the ďŹ ve denominations tells, but the unifying theme that underlies them all - the profound courage, determination, and ingenuity of our nation and its people.â&#x20AC;?

The Bank of Canada said the new notes feature a combination of transparency and holography, and is the most secure bank note series ever issued by the bank. The polymer series is also said to be more economical, with the notes able to last at least two and half times longer than the former cotton-based paper bank notes.

Both notes will become in circulation in November.

Centretown association bows to CDP changes Communitydeveloper deal is dead

A special thank you to my mom for being an inspirational role model and for showing our family and friends the meaning of unconditional love.

FIELDING DRIVE PUBLIC SCHOOL – PLAYING IS FUN FOR EVERYONE!

EMC news - City planners said they knew they wouldn’t please everyone with their proposed alterations to a sweeping community design plan for Centretown, and it seems they haven’t pleased anyone.

The local community association’s board begrudgingly voted to support last-minute changes to the CDP draft by city staff in response to a compromise reached between the association and a group of developers.

“We weren’t 100 per cent happy,” said Centretown Citizens Community Association spokesman Rob Dekker.

Remaining concerns include: keeping west Centretown height limits at 14.5 metres instead of lowering it to 11 m like the east side, keeping Somerset Street west as mixed-use instead of purely residential and the percentage breakdown of how much residential vs. commercial space should be allowed in mixed-use areas.

The alternative proposal drafted by the community association-developer coalition prompted city staff to suggest

The Fielding Drive Public School Council has worked hard to raise funds to install a new play structure. The old structure on the school grounds was no longer safe and had to be removed. I know from experience that a new play structure will engage the imaginations and playful spirits of both students at Fielding Drive Public School, as well as neighbourhood kids. This recreational infrastructure will promote healthy active living, improve fitness, and foster a great community spirit.

In support of this project, I sent a letter to City staff supporting the allocation of funding for the new play structure from the Community Partnership Minor Capital Program.

Thanks to the school council, parents, grandparents, students, teachers, caregivers and volunteers for your terrific work!

INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN A FORMAL STUDY REGARDING INFILL DEVELOPMENT I have worked closely with the Deputy City Manager of Planning and Infrastructure to ensure that our Ward is included in an upcoming formal study regarding infill. I am pleased to invite you to participate in this process and invite you to provide your feedback regarding the challenges and opportunities related to the height, massing and setback of infill housing. The study will also look at opportunities for discreet intensification on larger, R1 lots.

As of April 24, 2013 a feedback form is available at ottawa.ca/infill and I encourage you to provide your feedback by May 17, 2013.

Once this feedback is received, the City’s Zoning Consistency Team will organize site visits to conduct individual analysis. Workshops will be organized with different communities and the architectural community. The Team intends to prepare recommendations for the Planning Committee and City Council for December 2013.

the changes – including adding height limits to a controversial policy to allow tall landmark buildings. If the changes are adopted by city council on May 8, landmark buildings would be capped at 27 storeys.

“This is nothing,” said developer Russell Kronick, who owns a site on O’Connor Street that would qualify for a landmark building. But he said with the possibility of only 27 storeys, the restrictions and qualifications for a landmark building would make it economically unfeasible.

City staff rejected the coalition’s assertion that allowing taller development through something they called a “small moments policy” would be better for the area than landmark buildings.

age of the property would be required to be publically accessible as a plaza or pocket park, for instance.

“I think you’re shying away from something that could be very valuable,” Fobert told city planners during the April 30 briefing.

Without a plan for how community benefit monies collected from developers should be allo-

I think you’re shying away from something that could be very valuable TED FOBERT

OPENS DOOR

“It opens the door perhaps a little too much for the department’s comfort,” said Dana Collings, the city’s program manager of community planning and urban design.

While Dekker said that wasn’t a deal breaker for the community association, FoTenn planner Ted Fobert was displeased with the rejection of his “small moments,” which would have given more flexibility for his developer clients to rezone many sites in the core of Centretown from nine storeys to 15.

In exchange, a small percent-

cated, Centretown won’t get the park space or public amenities residents want.

“Without that kind of incentive, I just don’t possibly see how it’s going to happen,” Fobert said. “We’re always shying away from this challenge due to fear of height.”

At the community association board meeting the same night as the briefing, much of the discussion centered on community benefits, which are known by

the Planning Act clause under which they can be collected: Section 37.

Reconsideration of what the small amount of Section 37 payments that would be available through the small moments policy left many people at the meeting agreeing that perhaps the community would have been giving up too much if it rejected the city’s landmark buildings proposal.

The addition of institutional uses as part of the community benefit hasn’t been discussed before and it intrigued community association members, Dekker said.

“They saw possibilities in that,” he said.

Dekker said the legacy of the coalition between the community association and the group of developers will be a strengthened relationship.

Dekker is hoping that relationship serves the community well as developers file applications for new buildings in the future.

“Hopefully this is a way for them to come to us before (rezoning applications),” Dekker said.

Manager of policy development and urban design, Lee Ann Snedden agreed that the coalition was a good thing.

“I applaud your efforts,” she said during the briefing, adding that the level of engagement that resulted from the partnership was very positive.

I anticipate that the first public workshop will be held in June 2013.

Songs for the soul emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - A local singer-songwriter is turning his pain into gain for mental health awareness.

Greely resident Larry Pegg lost his daughter to suicide in 2007, and has been using his music as therapy ever since. But now he hopes that music can help others get better too, as he releases five songs off his upcoming album in support of national Mental Health Week.

All proceeds from downloads between May 6 and 12 will go to charities supporting mental health awareness, likely Do It For Daron run by the Royal Ottawa hospital.

Pegg’s 12-song album Before and Afterlife: The Theory of Positivity is set to be released on World Suicide Prevention Day, September 10, and he said more than 50 per cent of all proceeds will be directed toward mental health research and awareness programs.

In the meantime, five songs from that album will be available on his website www.lpgroove.ca, CDbaby. com or iTunes, and he’s asking radio stations to play them across the country as well. One hundred per cent of all proceeds will be directed to mental health programs.

“I want to reach out around the

world because this is a global issue,” said Pegg.

The songs available for download include “The one you love,” “Looking for the one,” “Afterlife,” “Ogdensburg” and “Weight.”

Pegg said “Weight” is at the heart of the album, as it was written as a direct result of his participation in a conference with the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention last October.

“I wrote that song after attending a workshop ... and I was blown away by the first hand experiences of another mother and father who had just lost their child,” Pegg said. “At that point I realized if I was going to ever put music out there, there couldn’t be a better time. I decided I would devote my album to this cause.”

PLEASE WAIT

The song “Weight” includes a line urging people with suicidal thoughts to “please wait.”

Pegg wants to turn those two words into a global campaign to raise awareness about suicide and mental health, because the phrase shows up constantly in our daily lives.

“Every electronic device in the world has those two words on it repeated millions of times a day. When you’re processing your credit card at

With a little campaigning, those words could help save people who are struggling with suicidal thoughts, he said.

“It’s what every parent wants to tell their children, every friend wants to tell their friend. Everyone who cares wants to say those two words,” Pegg explained.

“So when we see those two words

as we load our software or go to our email ... I’m hoping they’ll take on new meaning.”

The songs can be heard and downloaded at www.lpgroove.ca between May 6 and 12.

They keep active, in the city, with curling, golďŹ ng, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mario servicesâ&#x20AC;?, cooking scrumptious meals for friends & family, gardening & looking after their grandchildren. They are best known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grandma & Grumpsâ&#x20AC;? to the 7 grandchildren (Justin, Kayla, Katherine, Liam, Connor, Quinn & Kathleen) from their 4 sons Martin, Thomas, Kevin & Brendan.

While they enjoy retirement & time to travel the world, Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arcy can be found relaxing with the newspaper or his iPad accompanied with a glass of wine in hand. Erna does enjoy wine too, but she is equally content to sit with her husband of 50 yrs. with her cup of tea as she knits or plays Suduko. Congratulations for the many miles behind you and the many more yet to come!

Peace, Love & Happiness.

Greely resident Cheryl Ozen has spent the last year building Business in Motions while raising $15,000 for local and national charities.

“That’s $15,000 that wasn’t there before,” she said. “There’s nothing more important than giving back.”

AFFORDABLE, ACCESSIBLE

Before launching Business in Motions in February 2012, Ozen was herself a trade show vendor for Organo Gold coffee. She

felt the financial strain of large trade shows, where the steep entry fee didn’t cover electricity hook-ups and other extras, and the competition was fierce.

She felt she could do a better job.

Now she organizes regular trade shows in the Ottawa South area, usually at the Greely Legion, where she charges a set

EMC news - When Cheryl Ozen launched Business in Motions just over a year ago, she already knew a large part of her business would be giving back to the community.

“My vision is to help small businesses be able to promote themselves at a reasonable rate while giving back to the community,” she said.

Ozen runs trade shows, fundraisers and other community events that allow small businesses to take part as vendors, while donations or a portion of proceeds are given to a charity partnering with the event.

For example, since a “Fun for Femmes” trade show on May 4 at the Greely Legion was geared to women, the event raised money for ovarian cancer research.

Specialty pet shows have fundraised for animal rescue groups and an annual Christmas show supports the Osgoode food cupboard.

Since her first official trade show last February, Ozen has raised $15,000 for charity.

While she recognizes that it’s not a huge amount of money, it’s not insignificant, she said.

price for all the vendor’s needs and promises a small, non-competitive environment.

For example, instead of taking on 12 jewelry vendors who all sell similar products, she will take on two or three jewelry businesses that offer a range of styles, she said. This way the businesses aren’t scrambling to break even, and the customer has a variety of products to consider.

“The local businesses need to showcase themselves; that’s a huge part of their business,” she said. “Finally people know they can trust what I do, because if they’re not successful, I’m not successful.”

And the community has supported her, too. Greely Foodland, Metcalfe Golf and Country Club and other local businesses have sponsored her events and partnered with her to help raise the profile of the local economy while also supporting non-profit groups close to home.

For her second year in business, Ozen hopes to double the money she raised for charities last year. To that end, she has added several trade shows in the fall and will work with local golf clubs and other businesses on several events this summer.

Fools perform a different kind of play Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - A new play performed by the Company of Fools is aimed to challenge its actors and entice audiences.

The group is performing White Rabbit Red Rabbit – a play outside of Shakespeare’s repertoire which is the troupe’s stock-in-trade – at the Arts Court Library until May 25. Leading up to the three-week performance, the cast had not rehearsed, had no direction and does not know the script until they first take the stage in front of an audience.

“We are excited about this unique opportunity,” said Al Connors, the group’s artistic director. “The Fools have always explored unique ways of creating and performing work and this provocative piece fits with our style as it is an interactive, playful, and thought-provoking piece of theatre.”

Each performance will be like its first, as a different actor reads the script cold at

each performance. The actors are not allowed to watch any of the other performances.

Catriona Leger will be performing on May 15.

“Leading up to my performance, I’m thinking ‘What I am I going to do?’” Leger said.

“There are a lot of things going through your mind when you will be reading something cold, as an actor there is an element of excitement and terror and the rest is left to the gods.”

She added that it can also be really exciting.

“The door is wide open, you are coming in with no pre-defined ideas and you are in that moment, in that space.”

Leger said she hopes the audience will continue to come back to see actor after actor perform.

“We have a mix of actors of all different ages,” she said. “There is an opportunity to see 18 completely different shows, all speaking the same text.”

Before and after each show, there is the opportunity

for the audience to mingle with the actor and potentially other members of the theatre group.

Written by Nassim Soleimanpour, the play explores travel in a different way - to explore a world from the perspective of an individual forbidden to travel. Soleimanpour wrote the play to travel the world when he couldn’t.

The play asks the audience to participate and listen.

“We expect some of our fans will be surprised. Although this isn’t our first departure from Shakespeare, they are so few and far between that it feels like a first,” Connors said.

The play runs from May 725 at the Arts Court Library, located at 2 Daly Ave Performances get underway at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are ‘pay what you can’ at the door or $20 in advance at Eventbrite.ca.

The Fools will get the annual summer Shakespeare in the park performances underway with the Merry Wives of Windsor in Strathcona Park on July 3.

New building, new name for Canada Agriculture and Food Museum took pride in telling her guests that the museum is the only one with an operating farm in any capital city in the world. With the former public space only open for the warmer months, the museum can offer more programming to visitors, she said.

Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - In addition to unveiling its new learning centre and related exhibition on the morning of May 2, the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum also revealed its new name.

The word â&#x20AC;&#x153;foodâ&#x20AC;? was added to the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to reďŹ&#x201A;ect its focus on the science and technology behind food production.

The learning centre had been touted by the museum for some time preceding the unveiling, but the ďŹ nal product was impressive enough to warrant the buildup. Formerly an unheated storage facility at the Central Experimental Farm, the heritage building was transformed into a modern, fully-serviced, year-round educational space thanks to a $4.6 million retroďŹ t.

Featuring a ground-ďŹ&#x201A;oor exhibition space with a lecture hall, classrooms and educational labs on the second ďŹ&#x201A;oor, the modern, well-lit space will now become the centre of museum activities.

The launch included a breakfast and informal tour, and attracted many dignitaries â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including guest of honour Lau-

The ground floor of the new learning centre, seen here, is the site of the exhibition titled A Piece of Cake, which shows the processes needed to create the ingredients of a simple cake. reen Harper - due to the renovation funding made available in 2008.

Speakers at the event discussed the farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past while touting its continued signiďŹ cance on the national and international stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Central Experimental Farm, since 1886 Agricul-

ture and Agri-Food Canada has (performed) agricultural scientiďŹ c research that has improved Canadian agriculture,â&#x20AC;? said Gary Polonsky, chairperson of the museum, adding that many of the advances have been exported worldwide.

Denise Amyot, president and chief executive of the museum,

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We now will be open and able to welcome visitors for 12 months of the year, so for us this is very, very special,â&#x20AC;? said Amyot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now these new spaces and facilities will allow the museum to bring a wider focus to its mandate and reach out to more people and more audiences.â&#x20AC;?

Agricultural interest at the launch went beyond the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibits and mandate, venturing and into building materials as well. Some of the wall panels in the learning centre were made from byproducts of grain farming, while the wood ďŹ&#x201A;oor is actually the original ďŹ&#x201A;oor, minus the decadesold plywood covering.

The ďŹ rst exhibition in the Learning Centre, called A Piece of Cake, shows how the ingredients of a simple cake make it from seeds to the dinner table.

It is easy to turn public money into research. But the question should be, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How do we turn research into results?â&#x20AC;? Who better to ask than Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, and Google co-founder, Sergey Brin? They invented and popularized technologies that serve billions of people and have created mind-boggling wealth.

Last month, Zuckerberg and Brin inaugurated the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciencesâ&#x20AC;? with the purpose of recognizing â&#x20AC;&#x153;excellence in research aimed at curing intractable diseases and extending human life.â&#x20AC;? Rather than simply pumping all the money into research institutions, Zuckerberg and Brin are paying for results.

History proves they are onto something.

Napoleon Bonaparte offered a cash prize for new ways of preserving food, knowing that his â&#x20AC;&#x153;army marched on its stomachâ&#x20AC;?. So Nicolas Francois Appert invented canned foods, and used the reward of 12,000 francs to open a commercial cannery, which operated for over a century.

Between 1839 and 1939, the Royal Agricultural Society of England offered cash prizes at annual competitions. A Harvard Business School and Norwegian School of Economics joint study showed â&#x20AC;&#x153;large effects of the prizes on competitive entryâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;an impact of the prizes on the quality of contemporaneous patentsâ&#x20AC;?. The contests led to new milking machines, cream separators, cultivators, light portable motors and more than 15,000 other innovations that made food more plentiful and farming less burdensome.

The private sector is sponsoring prizes for more than philanthropy. A few years back, NetďŹ&#x201A;ix crowdsourced its R&D with a $1 million prize for a new system of algorithms to recommend ďŹ lms. According to The Economist, 55,000 people competed and the winning team was a group of seven who had worked together via the internet and met in person for the ďŹ rst time when they retrieved their prize.

Governments are catching on to the power of prizes. Under the America Competes Act, 45 U.S. government agencies have offered over 200 prizes to incentivize problem solving. The Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OfďŹ ce of Science and Technology Policy says prizes are now a â&#x20AC;&#x153;standard tool in every Federal agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toolboxâ&#x20AC;?.

And this January, the New York City Schools Chancellor announced a $104,000 prize for the best app, video game or other technology to help teenagers conquer math.

Here in Canada, the House of Commons Transport Committee unanimously made the cost-neutral recommendation for government to â&#x20AC;&#x153;redirect a portion of its existing research and innovation budget away from institutions and towards substantial prize money for innovations which meet welldeďŹ ned public goals.â&#x20AC;?

With private sector promotional sponsors picking up the tab, governments could hold massive science fairs to unveil the winners. The prestige and publicity would create further incentive to compete and win. As the Lindbergh ďŹ&#x201A;ight and the Royal Agricultural Society prizes prove, the prestige and publicity of competitions can motivate the innovators of today and inspire those of tomorrow.

Party on the patio EMC lifestyle - The choice of materials for your patio or terrace is up to you, but such a choice should be made right at the beginning of your strategy. It will determine the amount of money needed for your plan.

There are a variety of available materials, each with their advantages and inconveniences.

Some will require more upkeep while others are more expensive.

Durability and solidity are major concerns when you choose your building material. You may also combine different materials for unique special effects as well as optimizing your available budget.

The most popular materials used for patio and terrace are wood, concrete slabs, stone, composite and synthetic materials. Avoid materials that may crumble in winter, brittle and flimsy material as well as slippery substances.

Wood is often chosen for a terrace. This

structure is usually built a few feet up from the ground so will require support pillars and railing.

You may also choose wood for structures placed directly on the ground but be sure to use treated wood to avoid rotting.

Wood is a favorite even though it requires yearly upkeep; its price, simplicity and warmth are attractive to many homeowners.

Your floor can also be made of cement or stone slabs: using both will allow you to emphasize specific areas or zones. You can also use a base made up of bricks or granite since they require little upkeep and will resist weather changes.

Synthetic materials include fibreglass, recycled plastics that resemble wood as well as waterproof fibres. All these synthetic materials are very durable and are often found in original garden designs.

“There’s enough food to go around, but not everyone gets it,” she said. On May 1, participants and guests were invited to a lunch at the Hub in downtown Ottawa where Lunch restaurant owner Tim Van Dyke came prepared with 55-cent meals.

Van Dyke said staff had to shop around at bargain grocery stores and Chinatown shops in order to make a day’s worth of meals come in at less than $1.75.

For lunch, they prepared meat dumplings, made with eight wonton wrappers (eight cents), a third of an Italian sausage (28 cents) and half a tomato (19 cents).

Participants intensely debated the meat or vegetable wontons because of the vegetable and cheese in the latter, there were seven wontons instead of eight; a big difference for the hungry bellies.

With the $25,000 fundraising goal already reached, the Canadian participants said they would push to raise even more money before they complete the challenge.

You don’t have the steam to really make it to 5:30 at work

This month, we are celebrating the strength and resilience of the approximately 700 children and youth in care. CASO becomes involved with families in the community when there may be a concern that a child or youth is at risk of abuse or neglect. Some of them are removed from their homes for a short period of time until circumstances are improved, some remain in care on an extended basis, and still others are adopted into new families. While their life paths are different than those of their peers, they face many of the same hurdles and challenges, and share the same hopes and dreams.

We recognize the bravery and resilience shown by these children and youth in the face of adversity.

The strength they have developed is admirable.

From April 29 to May 2, 25 Ottawa volunteers took part in a challenge to compare their lives to the 1.4 billion people across the world living in extreme poverty.

Those people don’t just need to pay for their food, but housing, transportation, clothing and everything else with $1.75 or less each day.

“Hungry,” is the only word Meaghan Derynck needed to describe the challenge. She said the hardest part of the project has been giving up coffee and all snacks – which she forgot to budget for when spending her $8.75 for the week.

The project raises money for Cuso International, Results Canada, Raising the Village and Spread the Net. The 25 Ottawa participants join about 100 others across Canada who are collecting pledges as they complete the challenge.

Ariane Cartwright, a Results Canada employee, said a typical day for her meal plan included oatmeal with a third of a shredded apple for breakfast, plain rice with chick peas and split peas for lunch, and frozen mixed vegetables with potato for lunch.

“We reached our (fundraising) goal of $25,000, but yeah – we’re hungry,” Cartwright said. “Not belly-aching hungry, but hungry. You don’t have the steam to really make it to 5:30 at work.”

She estimated with food, drink and meals out, the average Canadian spends about $75 to $100 a week.

Golf tournament raises funds for Condors Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The second annual Condors Classic Golf Tournament is continuing to raise funds to keep its hockey program on the ice.

The Capital City Condors is a hockey team for special needs youth, with groups in the west and east ends of the city. Funds raised through the golf tournament, which will be held on June 3 at the GreyHawk Golf Club, will go towards purchasing ice time and to help keep registration costs low. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the program grows we need more ice every year,â&#x20AC;? said Shana Perkins, co-founder of the Condors with her husband Jim. Funds will also go towards the 2015 Special Hockey International Tournament, which the Condors will host.

Last year, Ottawa Senators players Matt Carkner and Chris Neil attended the tournament, which drew around 110 golfers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They went and played a hole with each group,â&#x20AC;? said Perkins, adding that this year â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping, depending on how things are going with the playoffs, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to be able to have hopefully (Sens player) Kyle (Turris) and if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anyone else he could drag along that would be great.â&#x20AC;?

Funds raised at the second annual Condors Classic Golf Tournament, to be held June 3 at the GreyHawk Golf Club, will go towards ice time and registration costs for the hockey team for special needs youth. Ottawa Senators centre Kyle Turris and a few of his teammates joined the hockey team for on-ice drills and a scrimmage last December.

Turris, the Condors honourary captain, is a big supporter of the hockey team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five years ago, a small group of people in Ottawa, headed by my friends Jim and Shana Perkins, realized that there were a bunch of kids who loved hockey ... but they never got to play themselves. They had a physical or intellectual challenge or disability that made hockey something they could only watch,â&#x20AC;? said Turris in an open invitation letter.

A group that started as three players, the Capital City Condors has

now grown to almost 80 participants, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been an absolute blast getting to know the kids and their families, and especially fun to get on the ice with the Condors teams,â&#x20AC;? said Turris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Condors Classic is a fun day of golf, and an opportunity to recognize these special kids. Together weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll help raise funds needed to keep this program growing and available to more players.â&#x20AC;?

CONDORS PLAYER TO SPEAK

Shadow Ridge Community

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were really pleased and sort of surprised,â&#x20AC;? Perkins said about last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turnout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have very good weather, but we still had a terrific day.â&#x20AC;?

This year, tournament organizers are hoping to fill all 144 spots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get to interact with Condors players and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually going to hear one of them speak at the dinner,â&#x20AC;? said Perkins, adding a parent of a first-time player will also talk about what the team means to her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our biggest fundraising

event for the year,â&#x20AC;? Perkins said.

Space is available for 144 golfers for the shotgun start and there is a dinner only option for those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t golf but still want to support the cause.

Tickets are $200 for an individual or $700 for a foursome and include lunch, golf cart rental, 18 holes and dinner. The dinner only option costs $50.

Organizers are also looking for a title sponsor, hole sponsors and silent and live auction items.

The event takes place at GreyHawk, which is located at 4999 Boundary Rd., Cumberland. For more details, visit capitalcitycondors.org.

NIGHT AT THE RACES

The Capital City Condors will also host a Night at the Races on May 23 at the Rideau Carleton Raceway, in partnership with the Ottawa chapter of the Down Syndrome Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a social thing,â&#x20AC;? said Perkins of the third-annual event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The point is just for the adults to have a fun night out and we raise a little bit of money at the same time.

The event includes a buffet dinner, followed by horse racing for those who want to partake.

Tickets are $45 and available online at dsancr.com.

A funny thing happens when you tell kids they matter.

They believe you.

An alarming 40,000 kids drop out of high school every year. Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada are committed to changing that. They provide a safe and supportive place where kids can develop confidence and life skills. They offer programs like Rogers Raising the Grade to help kids with their studies. The Club is a place where kids can drop in, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re less likely to drop out.

Pooches take a walk during the 2012 Dollars for Dogs event in Andrew Haydon Park.

Annual dog party to support Guide Dogs Staff

EMC news - It’s a dog-meet-dog world out there.

At least, it will be on Sunday, May 26 when dog owners are invited to take their four-legged friends to Andrew Haydon Park for Dollars for Dogs, a fundraiser in support of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Thanks to a bylaw waiver from the city of Ottawa, May 26 is the only day of the year that dogs are permitted at Andrew Haydon Park, located at 3169 Carling Ave. The Guide Dogs association headquartered in Manotick is taking full advantage of the exemption with a fourkilometre walk, dog social in the park, barbecue and door prizes.

“People like taking their dogs to a dog park

to meet other dogs and play with other dogs, and this is an opportunity to do that,” said Guide Dogs special events co-ordinator Steve Doucette.

“There’s the walk, but there’s also the aspect of taking your dog for a nice day at the park.”

Participants are encouraged to raise pledges before the walk, and any money raised will help pair a guide or assistance dog to someone in need.

This is the event’s 29th consecutive year, and Doucette said the association expects to raise about $30,000.

“That is pretty much bang on where we’ve been for many years now,” he said. “With the economy a lot of events are slipping, so we thought it was a realistic goal to go for what we made last year.”

Mud and mess rile residents in David Bartlett Park emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - Residents are seeing red over a mess in their green space.

Regular users of Manotick’s David Bartlett Park were dismayed this spring to find that damage from a resident’s septic system replacement last fall still exists.

A road-sized swath of muddy, grassless earth cuts through the green space from the parking lot off Barnsdale Road to a backyard on Bravar Drive on the opposite side.

Homeowner John Mazzarello received permission from the city last fall for trucks to access his septic system from the park. City staff visited his home and confirmed there wasn’t enough room on either side of his house to access his backyard from the street, he said.

Mazzarello was required to post a bond by certified cheque against any damage caused to the park. The work took about a week at the end of November, after which Mazzarello said he patched

the parkland with topsoil and grass seed. “(City staff) were there monitoring while we seeded it, and they signed off and gave us back our money,” said Mazzarello. City staff did not return requests for more information about the deal.

Mazzarello said he paid about $1,000 more than the posted bond to fix the grass.

He owns a landscaping company and said seeding in November is common practice.

“It will stay dormant and it will grow in the spring.”

Some residents don’t believe the track will grow back on its own, however.

“The city signed off on it as being remediated, but we don’t think it’s remediated,” said Thom Kearney, a member of the David Bartlett Park dog walkers’ association. The group has sent several letters to the city requesting the city sod the area.

“It’s very muddy; it’s hugely inconvenient especially when it’s wet,” Kearney said. “It’s not just the dog walkers, it’s anybody who uses the park.”

Mazzarello said the entire park is muddy and wet, and traffic on the seeded track is out of his hands.

“I can’t control people walking there and dog traffic,” he said.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt doesn’t expect the city to sod the area because of high costs, but he said the city will likely seed it again in the next few weeks.

He said he doesn’t think it’s fair to allow these kinds of access deals.

“Not everyone backs onto a park but everyone has to deal with replacing septic,” Moffatt said.

“I don’t think it’s necessarily fair that you should have that just because you back onto the park. I’ve already asked that (city staff) don’t let this happen again.”

Mazzarello said a little patience will prove his efforts worked. “(The grass is) going to take, it just needs time,” he said, adding that he too walks in dog in the park. “I live there and I needed it to be right.”

EMC news - An Orléans long-term care facility will be the first in the province to specialize in dialysis care, adding six beds dedicated to dialysis patients in June.

Patients in the program at Résidence St. Louis will be able to receive dialysis treatment overnight, in their own beds, instead of making frequent trips to the hospital.

“You get to do it overnight as you’re sleeping, and then you’re fine, you’re good to go,” said Simon Akinsulie, director of long-term care for Bryère Continuing Care. “It

I’m thrilled.”

Twardek went for a “nerve-racking” one-week try-out with Millwall back in November.

Building on his experience from previous trials with Everton FC, the OSU player of eight years, made an impression in a hurry, scoring “more than I’m used to when I go overseas” during game action with the club.

Millwall, who recently reached the FA Cup semis against Wigan FC, told Twardek they were interested in him before he left, details were ironed out with Kris his family and OSU, over the winter, and he’s now set to officially spend the next two years in southeast London once he arrives in June.

eliminates the time you’d typically be in a dialysis place, wasting time.”

Typically, dialysis patients, who suffer from kidney disease, have to travel to the hospital at least several times a week, to be hooked up to a dialysis machine before they can return home.

Peritoneal dialysis will be offered for the six beds at the residence, which means a tube will be hooked up through the abdomen and work overnight through an automated system.

Currently, there is nowhere in the health care authority’s Eastern Ontario jurisdiction where residents can live in a care

facility and have dialysis without going to the hospital.

The facility will be the first long-term care home in Ontario to have the specialized designation, Akinsulie said.

“Now they can just stay here, and stay in their home. It’s a huge difference for residents,” Akinsulie said. “It’s a far improved quality of life.”

There is a cost to be in long-term care, but there will be no additional cost for the dialysis beds.

The program is funded through the provincial and federal governments and a partnership between the Local Health Integration Network and the Ottawa

Hospital.

The residence is a francophone home, but Akinsulie said that services can be provided in English as well.

Dialysis patients will be accepted based on referrals to the Community Care Access Centre, using the same referral process used for access into any of the long-term care facilities.

Akinsulie said he hopes that the innovative program will eventually expand into other long term care facilities throughout the province.

Community Care Access Centres can be reached by calling 310-2222, a universal number from anywhere in the province.

Penny power Grade 5 student Lizzie Warren shows off the $510 worth of pennies collected at Castor Valley Elementary School for the Township of Osgoode Care Centre in April. Warren and her family started the campaign, but all 26 classes at the school participated.

The care centre has collected more than $1,000 through community penny drives to date.

Twardek, who will stay in a billet home with another teammate, had a peek at what his training schedule will look like and immediately felt energized.

“It’s basically soccer all the time. That’s all you can ask for, really,” smiles Twardek, who’s headed to one of London’s dozen-plus pro clubs. “The atmosphere for soccer there, you couldn’t even compare it, I would say, to the hockey here. It means everything, for everybody.”

Club ‘proud’ of model player OSU club head coach Paul Harris says it’s Twardek’s personality and mental edge that really makes him the full package, on top of tactical awareness, physique and the technical prowess that makes the standout dribbler an “exciting” player.

Harris, the former Everton FC youth academy coach, who also trained such players as Manchester City’s Jack Radwell and England’s U21 Ross Barkley, said that “We think that maybe we’ve got the players at a young age who now have this role model and will later be able to go on to this level.”

Goodbye to ‘best friends’ The downside of joining Millwall, Twardek states, is that he’ll be leaving the club that’s provided him with so many opportunities, such as competing at the Gothia Cup in Sweden with OSU’s affiliate club from Dallas, winning the Robbie International Soccer Tournament and the Disney College Showcase with OSU, and finishing second in the Ontario Youth Soccer League this past summer.

“It’s been a journey with OSU Force97’s team and OSU. It doesn’t really stop here, but I mean, I’m leaving,” Twardek sighs. “The whole team is like my best friends. We’ve had lots of success together and we’ve had bad times together too. The team and OSU is like a family and we’re all brothers.

“But I want to make a career out of soccer and this is a good opportunity to make that happen.”

“We’re delighted for Kris,” Harris signals. “To get a player from Ottawa, Canada – not a well-known football environment – to a professional environment in England is obviously something we’re really, really proud of and will firmly put OSU on the map as development club overseas.” Bill Michalopulos, OSU club President, added that “Kris’s achievement personifies all the hard work and exclusive networks that OSU has generated over OSU’s relatively short time in existence as a soccer club in order to provide the very best opportunities possible for OSU players on a global level and that all of 6,500 player strong OSU is proud of this milestone”. Jim Lianos the club’s General Manager stated that “Kris’s hard work and positive attitude for continuous improvement gave him the edge required to be seen and promoted

by OSU at such high levels. It could not happen to a nicer kid”

Hunks hammer out $13,500 for cancer research Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - Things were heating up at the annual Hunks with Hammers event on April 13, as local hunks helped raise $13,500 for cancer research.

That takes the event’s sixyear total over $90,000, said organizer Patti-Anne Scrivens.

“It was more than we expected,” she said.

“The first year we raised the most, but with the economy ($13,500) is very good, I believe.”

The sixth annual ladies’ night out was held at the Greely Community Centre on April 13.

The dinner and auction fundraiser in support of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation offers a night of wining, dining, shopping and dancing.

The best part, of course, is being served by some of the best looking hunks in Ottawa - mainly sourced from Fire Station 91 in Metcalfe and volunteer firefighters from Greely, Manotick, Metcalfe and Osgoode.

Friends enjoy the annual Hunks with Hammers ladies’ night out on April 13 at the Greely Community Centre. From left, Krista Lee, Janice Lee, Leigh Stacey, Sue Stacey, Kary Merkley and Corinna Murdoch took part in the event which raised $13,500 for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

Scrivens began organizing the event in 2007 when Metcalfe resident and tradesman Peter Wichers was diagnosed with terminal cancer at age 49. Since Wichers was a tradesman – owner of The Door Company now owned by event volunteer Greg Bell – they began the Hunks With

Hammers tradition. Wichers helped the first year, but did not survive his battle with cancer for the following year.

Now his three children play a major role in planning the event, and his daughter Alyssa wrote a dedication for her father as part of this

Meet Prince, a 9-year-old, neutered male, black Labrador Retriever Mix who does not act his age! Prince was brought to the OHS as a stray on February 14, and has been waiting for his Valentine to come adopt him since. Prince is a big, strong boy seeking a confident owner and will require an exercise partner to help him use up his energy on a daily

basis. He knows a lot of his commands and is a friendly and social boy that loves to flaunt and will seek petting from strangers. Prince has a preference for human companionship but may be suited to live with another respecting pooch who isn’t intimidated by his size.

Ellie prefers to be in the company of older children and adults who can respect her desire to be in a quiet home. She is notorious for letting people know when she wants love and attention, and loves to curl up next to you on the couch to be petted.

year’s event program.

Alyssa was eight when her father died, and told the crowd that she wishes her father could see her grow up and hit milestones like graduating university and meeting her future husband.

“That is not possible in person, but I know he is here

now and will be on all of those occasions, and always, in spirit,” she said. “Fundraisers like this one help raise much-needed money to help patients like my Dad as they go through treatment and to help find a cure for his and all types of cancer.”

Auction items up for grabs

this year included dinner with Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, a new garage door, and concert tickets for Justin Bieber, Fleetwood Mac, New Kids on the Block and the Eagles.

We are loving the warm weather, and go outside in our backyard to explore the world and be brushed! Nala can get a little excited sometimes though, so it’s my job to make sure she doesn’t get herself into too much trouble. We are very spoiled and loved to bits by our big family.

The OHS will continue to lay charges when animals are found in distress.

Signs of canine heatstroke/heat exhaustion include: rapid heartbeat, heavy panting, lethargy, lack of coordination, weakness or muscle tremors, unconsciousness, glazed eyes, convulsions. If you see an animal that may be suffering from heat exhaustion, and the owner can’t be quickly located, call the Ottawa Humane Society’s emergency phone line at 613-725-1532. Even if the car leaves before an OSPCA agent can arrive, the vehicle owner will receive an information package in the mail about the dangers of leaving animals in cars. If they are a repeat offender, they may be charged.

A hot car is no place for a pet The OHS advises people that when it’s hot, leave your pet at home, with access to shade and plenty of fresh water.

Leaving a dog in a car even for a few minutes on a hot day could be fatal. Each year the Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) receives hundreds of calls about dogs left in vehicles on hot summer days. When the thermometer soars, a parked car can quickly become a furnace, endangering an animal’s life and making the owner liable to criminal charges.

With only hot air to breathe, a dog’s normal cooling process – panting – doesn’t work. A dog can withstand internal body temperatures of 40°C for only a few minutes before brain damage or death can occur.

Last year, we received 325 telephone reports of dogs in cars on hot days, 126 of which lead to warnings and advisories to individuals. The OHS Rescue and Investigation Services team removed 8 dogs from cars and we charged 9 individuals, resulting in 8 convictions.
