EMC news - Driven by the urge to create a fun and safe place for children to play, residents in Fairlea Park are banding together to raise funds for a children’s playground in their community. On May 7, the community launched their campaign to raise $15,000 for phase two of a plan to build a playground. Let Them Be Kids will be matching every dollar raised by the community towards the playground. “The goal of the project is to ignite the spirit of this diverse community by bringing residents together and building community cohesion,” said Beverly Stride, vice president of the Fairlea Park Housing Coop. The first phase of construction was finished last fall and residents are hoping to have the second phase completed this summer. “For the next few weeks, community residents and volunteers will be busy raising funds and community awareness to ensure the second phase of the play structure can be built

on July 20 for the kids,” said Stride. The designs of the structure were created by children in the neighbourhood. “The kids are getting everything that they wanted to play with in their playground,” said Gabriele Esliger, a member of the co-op board. “We think the children deserve it. It will bring the community closer together,” she said. “With so many children in this area, you have to give them what they need. If you don’t give them something constructive, they will find something else to do.” CONST. ERIC CZAPNIK

The playground will be named after slain Ottawa police officer Eric Czapnik. “Eric stood for a lot of principles that we would like to see instilled in our children,” said Esliger. She said she wants children to develop those ideals that Czapnik possessed. “This gentleman lost his life protecting others,” said Esliger. See CAMPAIGN, page 2

Ottawa police deputy chief Ed Keeley said it is always exciting seeing communities rally around the kids by providing them with a safe environment in which to play, learn and grow up. “It is an honour for us to have this named with Eric in mind,” he said. “It is important that we extend it to all first respondents.”

Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said she was happy Fairlea Park was turning out to be a great place to be a kid. “It is just getting better all the time,” she said. “It is so special that the kids themselves have designed the playground.” Deans said residents should also look forward to a new splash pad before the end of the summer.

John McCrae rugby player dies after hit in high school game Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Rugby player Rowan Stringer, a Grade 12 student at John McCrae Secondary School, died May 12 following a hit during a girls rugby game on May 8. Stringer, who played with the Barrhaven Scottish Rugby Football Club, took a hit during a home game against St. Joseph High School. Her family made the decision on May 11 to take her life support, and began preparations to donate the 17-yearold team captain’s organs – an easy decision, her father said. “When we made the decision to stop interventions on Saturday, it was very easy for us to transition into going through the process of donating her organs, because that is exactly what she wanted to have done,� Gordon Stringer said. She had already been accepted into nursing school at the University of Ottawa in September, and wanted to do

international aid work with children in the future. Two children at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto received her kidneys and will no longer require dialysis. Her lungs also went to Toronto for a young woman in her 20s, her pancreas to Toronto and her liver to London, Ont. “Her heart stayed in Ottawa, just where it should be,â€? Kathleen Stringer, Rowan’s mother, wrote on Facebook. “This brings great joy and solace to us.â€? Gordon Stringer said that she was tackled during the game, and she the ground awkwardly, head ďŹ rst. Her teammates told him that she sat up for a couple of seconds before falling back down and losing consciousness. “We have no qualms about the sport or anything. She loved it. We loved going to watch her and everything, but it is a pretty rough sport and she liked that,â€? he said. “She liked to get in the rough and tumble and she was a pretty good athlete, but she took a

pretty hard hit,� he said. “As a school system, we are so extremely saddened and we extend our sincere condolences to the Stringer family,� said board spokesperson Sharlene Hunter. Decisions on the rest of the season for high school rugby teams has not been decided yet, she said. The John McCrae rugby game scheduled for May 13 against St. Mark was cancelled, along with all school sports for May 13 and 14. The board said that support staff would be on hand to help students through the grieving process. Rugby Canada’s CEO, Graham Brown, ordered condolences to her family and friends. “Now is the time for all of us to come together and support the Stringer family as they deal with this terrible loss. We will provide updates on how the Canadian rugby community can support the Stringers,� he said. With files from TorStar News Service

MP joins Governor General for trip to Africa Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – Ottawa South MP David McGuinty is accompanying the Governor General on a weeklong tour to three African countries. Gov.Gen David Johnston is leading a delegation of Canadian public and private sector sector leaders in the ďŹ elds of business, education, innovation, social justice and development. The tour will see Johnston visit Ghana, Botswana and South Africa, from May 13 to 22. “It’s a great honour to have been asked to do this,â€? said McGuinty. “This is an important mission for Canada and I am proud to be representing Ottawa South and Canada on the ofďŹ cial delegation.â€? The delegation is expected to share experience and knowledge with their African counterparts. A release from the Governor General’s ofďŹ ce said the exchanges

will further develop the wide-ranging and multi-faceted relationships with Ghana, Botswana and South Africa and will provide greater visibility for bilateral co-operation. “The whole idea is to build stronger links with Africa, at the same time understanding better what is transpiring in those countries; what is there state of development, what is their state of play and what are the opportunities for Canadian businesses and organizations,� said McGuinty. GHANA

In Ghana, the Governor General is expected to help promote Canada’s investment interests and trade collaboration at a business networking luncheon with Ghanaian and Canadian leaders. “My meetings with government ofďŹ cials and civil society will provide an opportunity to underscore Canada’s interests in further strengthening its commercial

and education ties with all three countries, as well as to highlight good governance, the rule of law, democracy, freedom of expression and human rights. Reinforcing our existing partnerships and assessing opportunities to create new ones is essential for greater cooperation between Canadians and Africans,â€? Johnston said in a release. During meetings with the Ghanaian president, government ofďŹ cials, and civil society, the Governor General will underscore Ghana’s good will and progress on governance, democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights. He will also witness ďŹ rst-hand the impact of the Canadian International Development Agency’s involvement in an agricultural research project on maize at the Crops Research Institute, and the success story of Canadian Kathy Knowles, who built a library and literacy program for disadvantaged children out of a 40-foot container in the Ghanaian capital, Accra. TM

DAVID MCGUINTY In Botswana, Johnston will acknowledge Canada’s support for the ďŹ ght against HIV/AIDS during visits to both theTebelopele HIV Testing and Counselling Centre and Stepping Stones International, an after-school community outreach program serving orphaned and vul-

nerable adolescents and their caregivers. His visit to South Africa will see Johnston become the ďŹ rst Canadian representative of the Head of State to address a joint session of the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces at the Parliament of the Republic of South Africa. In Johannesburg, the Governor General will speak to South African and Canadian business leaders at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the largest exchange on the African continent. Visits abroad by a governor general play an important role in Canada’s relations with other countries. McGuinty said Canada’s relationship with Africa needs improvement and strengthening. “Africa is an incredible continent with an incredible resource base and people. Personally, I believe that Canada should not and cannot abandon Africa,â€? said McGuinty. “This visit is about looking at existing relationships and looking importantly at new opportunities.â€?

Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli drops the ball in game two of a three game series for the Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League at the Greenboro Community Centre on May 12. Chiarelli announced the league received an Ontario Trillium grant of $5,900 to help the organization expand from two teams to four.

Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli announced the funding before dropping the ball ahead of Game 2 of a three game series between the league’s current teams on May 12. “It doesn’t matter what type of hockey you play – it’s a tremendous rush to play and it’s Canada’s sport,� Chiarelli said. As a hockey player and fan, Chiarelli added he understands the importance to be a part of a team. “The Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League is helping to make that a reality for dozens of Ottawa athletes to come together, have fun and play some great hockey,� he said. The two teams, the Gators and the Sharks, feature players using power wheelchairs and have limited or no upper

body strength and have limited or no mobility. According to the league’s website, players have different disabilities. The majority of players have either cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy. ALL AGES

The league is a co-ed, all ages format, with the youngest player only seven years old. Players come from across the city to play in the league, and in one case, a family drives from Kingston to give their 10-year-old son, Joey Kelly, a chance to play. “It’s the closest league we have,� said Linda Kelly, Joey’s mother. “This is his first year playing and he loves it. He just lights up while he plays.� The game is competitive, and very fast-paced. Every team member gets the chance to play.

Kelli Tonner’s 11-year-old son, Kellen Schleyer, plays for the Sharks, and she said she gets knots in her stomach every Sunday before the game. “He is very competitive and this game and team allow his competitive streak to come out,� Tonner said. “It’s as challenging and exciting as any other game.� Haycock said the organization has come a long way in the four years since starting up the charity league, and thanked all the volunteers for their continued support. “We have grown tremendously because of a lot of people who are working hard all the time,� she said. The organization was formed in 2009 by Carleton University students, with currently 30 players. Visit opwhl. com for more information about the league, to join or to donate to the organization.

EMC news - What does culture mean in Vanier? That is the question cultural development and initiative staff from the city is asking. The project is about cultural mapping which will help define, among other areas in the city, Vanier’s cultural “hotspots”. Leading the charge is Kwende Kefentse and Ben Dick, both staff members of the city’s cultural development initiatives. Kefentse announced the project to residents at a Vanier Community Association meeting in April. Whether a church basement is used on Saturdays for yoga or a community centre room doubles as an artist’s studio, these two want to know about it. “Essentially it’s really to bring community together, to look at how a community uses spaces and culture,” Kefentse said. The duo explained a similar project already took place in Bayshore, which helped define cultural spaces. “We are looking for things that have a strong connection to the community,” Kefentse said. Kefentse and Dick will be compiling the data about such spaces and activities specific to Vanier over the course of the summer. The goal, they explained is to better understand the city’s cultural assets. After gathering the information, it can then be used to increase the cultural vitality or highlight particular aspects of a community. Eventually, Kefentse said all data collected will be available online on the city’s open data platform. The project will look at a number of different aspects of culture, including the environment, history, events and pieces of art. “We are hoping to find out things about Vanier that the rest of the city doesn’t know about,” Kefentse said. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he believes the data acquired will be of high value for Vanier and for the city. “The initiative is quite interesting and I have to say it will add value to making sure that people can benefit from cultural activities,” Fleury said. The city’s initiative is only one project currently looking at cultural activities in the area. One Vanier resident is working on an

Staff will be studying Vanier this summer. artists’ registry to catalogue creative K1L residents in an effort to link artists with other artists. There are more than 25 murals throughout the community either depicting periods in Vanier’s past or new artistic directions and Vanier is home to the city’s only outdoor grotto or shrine. Kefentse and Dick said they want to make the data collected useful. If the information they collect helps to create more efficient work within city hall, it would be a big bonus. “Hopefully, what we collect will lead to better work with city staff and better city planning,” Dick said. Fleury agreed, stating he hopes the data will allow for funding opportunities and policy analysis within the community easier. Also, he added, there could be the benefit for something that is already occurring

in Vanier to be replicated in other parts of the city. Research specific to Vanier has already begun and a soft launch of the data software will be on the city’s website in midsummer. There is not a firm timeline at this time of when the data may go live, as the research will take some time to complete. Funding for this project, Kefentse said, was made possible when city council approved the renewal action plan for arts, culture and heritage. The six year plan allocates $5 million in the arts, heritage and cultural sectors. Kefentse and Dick welcome comments, and information from residents. For more information about the project, or to share some information, please contact Kefentse at kwende.kefentse@ottawa.ca or by phone at 613-580-2424, extension 12937.

I would like to invite all Gloucester-Southgate residents to an Open House I will be hosting on Saturday May 25, 2013 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at 3100 Conroy Road (located on the west side of Conroy Road at Thurston Drive) to celebrate the newly constructed City of Ottawa Operations Yard. The Open House will offer residents a great opportunity to have an inside look at how the City manages seasonal operations, ask questions of City staff and tour the facility. There will be City vehicles parked on display for residents to explore and children will be permitted to sit on both winter and summer vehicles. I invite you all to attend and enjoy some complimentary light refreshments and small bags of compost, while quantities last. I look forward to seeing you on May 25th, 2013. Ottawa’s online Cycling and Pedestrian Plan Consultation Tool The City has launched an online consultation tool as part of the Master Plan review. The tool will allow residents to plot their preferred cycling routes, provide feedback on the City’s proposed ultimate cycling network, proposed neighbourhood routes, and winter cycling network; identify physical barriers that impede cycling or walking route connectivity; identify the need for a sidewalk or pathway to complete pedestrian connectivity; and provide their feedback on their level of comfort in crossing intersections and walking along roadways. The comments provided will help to reďŹ ne Ottawa’s cycling and pedestrian networks and assist in prioritizing projects. A ďŹ nal consultation with the public will take place later this summer and in the fall. Summer Camps at the City of Ottawa Residents looking for a fun way to keep kids active this summer are reminded about the wide variety of summer camps offered by the City of Ottawa. Camps range from dancing and sports to leadership and trips around Ottawa. Camps are a great way for children to meet new friends, develop social skills, and have fun during the summer months. Residents who register for a camp before June 10th will also be entered into a draw to win one of 50 prizes for a free week of camp this summer! Winners will be notiďŹ ed by June 28th and will be awarded the equivalent of the registration fee paid up to a value of $250. Prizes will appear as a credit on the winner’s account. Please note that to register for any programs residents will require a client barcode and family PIN number. You can receive these by visiting a recreation facility or Client Service Centre, calling 613-580-2588 Monday to Friday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (except on statutory holidays) and follow the prompts, or by visiting Ottawa. ca. Airport Parkway Pedestrian Bridge I have been contacted by several residents with questions about the status of the Airport Parkway Pedestrian Bridge project and I am happy to provide the community with an update. This project has been an ongoing and signiďŹ cant project for the City of Ottawa and involves the construction of a new pedestrian/cycling bridge over the Airport Parkway and a pathway connection between the Hunt Club community and the South Keys Transit Station. Most recently work has taken place off site, in a climate controlled environment, to allow crews to complete intricate work on the fabrication of the tower anchoring system. Once ďŹ nished, this anchoring system will be installed on site followed by the pouring of concrete for the tower, the main deck and the deck walls and the installation of suspension cables, railings, and bridge lighting. At this time, the City has not determined a completion date. I will continue to monitor the project closely and will provide updates to the community as the construction progresses. Should you have further questions please contact me directly at diane.deans@ottawa.ca or 613-580-2480 and I am pleased to look into them on your behalf.

Let’s revel in Sens fever

T

he signs of spring are many in Ottawa. Tulips are in bloom, joggers and cyclists are more common sights along the canal and restaurant patios are once again becoming an afternoon destination. There’s definitely something else in the air this spring, however. There are a few more little red flags perched on the tops of cars, there are a more red T-shirts and jerseys marked by a distinctive Spartan logo adorning passers-by, and the streets and shops are a little more barren at around 7 p.m. every other evening. Yes, hockey fever has hit Ottawa a bit harder this spring. The Ottawa Senators eased past the Montreal Canadiens in five games last week, including a pair of raucous encounters at Scotiabank Place. For those without tickets, fans filled bars, restaurants and living rooms across the city to watch games on TV. The Sens Mile, the nickname given to Elgin Street come playoff time, is once again an exuberant, festive gathering place for both hardcore fans and fair-weather faithful alike. Securing passage to the second round of the National Hockey League playoffs will only draw larger crowds.

The city once dubbed the worst sports city in Canada is once again showing how off the mark such a comment was. It is times like these, when a city institution becomes something more than just a local curiosity, that the true value of sports teams becomes apparent. It turns everyone wearing Senators garb into a friendly face. It gives everyone at school or the office a chance to talk about something that is exciting and current, allowing people to cast aside their everyday worries and fears for a few fleeting weeks. But it doesn’t happen every year – the last time the Senators won a playoff round was 2007, when they reached the Stanley Cup final – and it only occurs in the springtime. Ottawans have only one hometown rooting interest when it comes to professional team sports so far, but that’s about to change. By the end of 2014, there will be a couple more players on the block in the form of Canadian Football League and North American Soccer League franchises. It will take a while for Ottawa fans to warm to their new clubs, but all it will likely take is a good postseason run to capture the sporting imagination. Let’s enjoy these days: they are part of what adds a splash of colour to the fabric of our city.

You can’t hear the birds sing by the parkway

A

s much as people would like to have the whole thing over with, it’s likely that the public controversy over the west-end LRT route will go on and on. Already, city council’s vote on the subject has been delayed by more than a month. Ostensibly that’s to allow for more community consultation. You can bet that more delays are to come. Rome wasn’t paved in a day. So we can talk about it some more. Today, let’s talk about the romanticizing of the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway – or the Western Parkway, as it used to be known in less politicized times. To hear the National Capital Commission discuss it, in dismissing any talk of trains on the route, the parkway is one step removed from a wildlife refuge: a sea of green beside the river, the quiet broken only by the sounds of birds singing, the only signs of movement the leisurely pace of walkers and the silent glide of bicyclists. Clearly, in the NCC’s view, to put trains there would be to destroy a beauteous ecosystem. Well, the NCC hasn’t been out there when people are heading in to work in the morning and heading home in the afternoon. Then,

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town instead of a sea of green, it becomes a sea of cars, ripping along at 80 kilometres per hour, often more, except when they are jammed up into long, motionless, exhaust-spewing lines waiting to turn onto the Champlain Bridge. Oh, yes, and buses, lots of buses, also disturb the wildlife refuge. It thins out quite a bit during off-peak hours and on the weekends, but the parkway is still the preferred route downtown for a lot of west-enders. In many ways, whatever its noble origins, whatever the lofty ideals of those who manage it, the parkway has become just a road, just another thing named after Sir John A. It is not sacred ground. Perhaps it once was. I should note that I live about a seven-minPublished weekly by:

ute walk from the proposed Byron Tramway tunnel. I don’t think it’s going to affect my life in any way and I actually don’t mind the idea all that much. But there are many who live closer who do, particularly those whose properties back onto the narrow strip by the parkway where the city proposes to put tracks. Others who live along Byron face a serious inconvenience, at least during the construction period if not after. Of course, people are always inconvenienced when a major project goes ahead. Some of us are called on to make sacrifices for the greater good. If, however, the decision was made to use the parkway for light rail, hooking up with the Transitway at its western end, only the NCC would be inconvenienced. That western end of the parkway is at quite a remove from residential properties and those who inhabit those properties are used to having hundreds of buses go by. The NCC would survive, you can be sure of that, perhaps turning its attentions to other projects that might improve the life of residents of the capital area. Speaking of which, is anything else ever going to happen on LeBreton Flats? Those who oppose light rail on the parkway and don’t like the Richmond-Byron alter-

native either, have strongly supported Carling Avenue as a light rail route. It can certainly be argued that the street is such a mess anyway that nothing could make it worse. So why not put light rail there? However, a convincing case has been set out, most recently in a lengthy Citizen article, that a light rail route using Carling would be logistically difficult in spots and prohibitively expensive, unless construction involved no bridges or tunnels. With the number of stoplights involved, the speed attained would be no greater than a streetcar. Hmmm, streetcars. Don’t some other cities have those? Don’t we wish we still did?

Anyone who’s ever suggested a teenager do anything healthy -- like turn off Facebook -- knows, more likely than not, they’ll do completely the opposite As a society, however, we have a responsibility to dig deep and try to make the correlations _ if there are some -- between social media, “bullying,� teenage depression and suicide. But rather than focus on those who may or may not be vindictively circulating the photos, we need to shift our focus to the majority of kids, the ones who are most likely the victims and we need to teach them to use these tools wisely. Perhaps the most difficult part of this will be convincing this generation of digital natives that there are consequences to their actions lasting far beyond the click of a button. For Parsons’ family, the consequences were too great to bear. Let’s make sure she has not died in vain.

mal. What few people want to recognize, however, is what Christie Blatchford controversially pointed out in a recent Postmedia column -- that the case against the alleged rapists was too flimsy to stand up in court. At root of this case, however, is not the alleged rape itself, but what happened in the aftermath. That social media exists is central to the Parsons story. That teenagers use it to post compromising photos of themselves and others without thinking of the consequences is the biggest problem because it makes cyber-bullying difficult to legislate and even harder to prove. The unfortunate reality is that many alleged victims of cyber-bullying are wilfully engaging in the circulation of images and comments that ultimately lead to their

own downfall. The lines between cyberbullying and wilful engagement are thus horribly blurred in the eyes of the law. It’s incredibly trivial by comparison, but I can’t imagine if iPhones had existed when I fell off a cooler and passed wind at a party in Grade 9. I was mortified as it was. The memory haunted me throughout my high school years, as it frequently came up in jokes or conversation within my social circle. (Yeah, I was the girl who fell off a cooler and farted – in front of the boy I had a crush on, no less). Fortunately, social media didn’t exist because had a photo or video ended up going viral, my life surely would have changed forever. Under the law, then and now, it would be difficult for someone to suggest that a video of me farting was “bullying,� even more so if I had posted it myself as some kind of defence mechanism. It’s frightening that, at the most insecure and vulnerable times in their lives, many teenagers feel it necessary to put every minute detail about themselves _

Farm Credit Canada launches campaign Drive Away Hunger celebrates 10th year Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Starting this summer, food banks across Canada are asking people to raise more than two million kilograms of food to help feed hungry families. The Drive Away Hunger campaign, organized by Farm Credit Canada, officially launched at the Ottawa Food Bank warehouse on May 7. This year’s goal is one million kilograms more than what the group raised last year and half of the total the campaign has raised since its inception 10 years ago, but chief operating officer RÊmi Lemoine said the campaign has been growing and

he believes meeting or surpassing this goal is attainable. “I have been told that 7.2 million pounds (3.25 million kilograms) of produce is wasted each year,� Lemoine said. “And that could really go to organizations like the food bank.� To launch the campaign, Farm Credit Canada donated $100,000 to Food Banks Canada. Katharine Schmidt, executive director of Food Banks Canada, said the money will be divided, with half the funds to be allocated to the national organization’s mandate and half to rural areas. Aside from the cheque, Lemoine said the company will also be donating the tractors, employees’ time and whatever

Hydro Ottawa employees will help with the construction of the new facility. The partnership also provides employees with the opportunity to mentor youth enrolled in the Christie Lake Kids S.T.A.R. Program, ‘Skills Through Activity and Recreation’.

Main Event to appreciate volunteers Annual community party to take place in June Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Volunteers in Old Ottawa East will get centre stage at this year’s Main Event as organizers prepare to recognize the many helping hands in the community for the first time at the festival. The Main Event will take place from June 14 to 15 and is organized by the Community Activities Group in Old Ottawa East. Executive director Carol Workun said volunteers are an integral part to the festivities and this year the group will take a moment to recognize that hard work. “We wanted to recognize our volunteers,” Workun said. “We couldn’t do what we do without them and this is our chance to say thank you.” The volunteer appreciation event will include a cake cutting ceremony, Workun added. The Main Event is the community’s way to celebrate the beginning of summer and is held every June alongside a community-wide garage sale. The fun starts on June 14 with an outdoor movie at Springhurst Park. A barbecue, wagon rides, a bouncy castle, music, arts and crafts are all planned for the big day on June 15.

The Main Event is the biggest event the Community Activities Group in Old Ottawa East organize for the neighbourhood. The event welcomes the entire community to come out to enjoy multiple activities including a community-wide garage sale. The Workun said last year more than 50 people volunteered to help with various activities throughout the event and this year, the group would like to have the same success.

GERRY CLOUTIER at MYERS HYUNDAI:

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.

8-12%

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.

“Last year we installed solar panels on our roof. The revenue we earn will add substantially to our retirement income.”

“My bank made it easy to finance because my system will pay for itself in 7 years. The revenue stream will be a big selling feature if I sell my house.”

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.

“We can’t run it without the volunteers,” Workun said. “All we are asking is for every volunteer to offer up an hour of the day.” Volunteers are needed to help with the ga-

rage sale; set up and clean up, the barbecue, recycling and garbage detail, balloons and children’s games. For a full understanding of the volunteer positions are online at ottawaeastCAG.ca/volunteer/mainevent. Running alongside the event is the community-wide garage sale, which includes homes from Rideau Gardens Drive to Greenfield Avenue and from Echo Drive to the Rideau River. Workun said all residents are welcome to participate either on their own premises or by setting up at the Calvary Baptist Church. The group also encourages businesses to set up sidewalk sales. To reserve a table at the church, the group advises residents to call Bob McRoberts at 613-733-5912 any time and leave a message with your name, phone number, and the size of the table required. An arts and crafts sale and the Main Farmers Market will also take place at Main Event community party from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the front lawn of Saint Paul University. Sellers can participate by registering online at ottawaeastcag.ca or in person at the Old Town Hall. Registration is $25 per table. For the arts and crafts sale, vendors must provide their own table and items for sale must be a vendor’s own work. To find out more information about volunteering or the event, please contact the group at volunteer@ottawaeastcag.ca. The Main Event begins at 10 a.m. on June 15.

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. R0012077670

EMC news - A report on the health of Ontario’s youth finds that 75 per cent of overweight children become obese adults, said Alex Munter, CEO and president of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Munter co-chaired the Healthy Kids Panel, which released the report “No Time to Wait: the Healthy Kids Strategy.” He presented the findings during a community meeting of the Ottawa Board of Health on May 6. “We spoke to a lot of parents, a lot of families and a lot of youth,” he said, adding the panel heard from more than 2,000 parents. “This is not an issue where we’re going to be exercising out way … out of it.” The panel developed a three-pronged approach to address the issue of obesity in children: • Start all children on the path to health: enhance pre-natal care and promote infant health, including breastfeeding • Change the food environment: increase the availability of healthy foods and expand nutrition programs in schools • Create healthy communities: encourage healthy eating and active living “Parents by and large know what they need to do and are believably committed to the health of their child,” said Munter. “This can’t be done without public health.” In 2009, the direct and indirect cost to health care in Ontario due to obesity was $4.5 billion,

ALEX MUNTER he said. The report states that if nothing is done, “the current generation of children will develop chronic illnesses much younger and be more affected as they age. The cost of obesity will grow, impacting our ability to fund other programs and services.” So far, 20 out of the 23 recommendations made by the panel already have programming underway, said Munter.

Residents from a number of east-end communities staged a rally last June at the Shenkman Arts Centre to protest all plans to build an interprovincial bridge. A recent report identified that a crossing at Kettle Island would be the least expensive option. residents have identified at the public consultations and round table discussions, but such measures are listed in the contingency allowance. “Mitigation costs are not defined in the report, because they have yet

Both Assheton-Smith and Credico are opposed to any bridge – not just one near their communities. “With costs this high, benefits uncertain and the associated degradation of health, safety, community ... for any of the three corridor options, we should be looking more closely at better solutions,� Credico said. Both call for a fourth option – a downtown tunnel – to be reconsidered. According to the NCR crossings website, a tunnel is not being considered because it would not reduce the number of trucks in the downtown core - one of the main reasons for a new crossing. It also states that in its first phase of the environmental study, the tunnel was discarded. “While the tunnel’s ability to avoid a new crossing is appealing, the transportation supply provided by this link is insufficient to address the future demand across the Ottawa River,� NCR crossing states on its website.

EMC news - The release of the latest interprovincial bridge report finds Kettle Island to be the most cost-effective option – despite carrying a price tag of more than $1 billion. The cost estimate report summary, released at the beginning of the month, determines which of the three options – Kettle Island, Lower Duck Island and McLaurin Bay – is the least expensive to build. The summary allows for a 25 per cent allowance (contingency) to compensate for the level of accuracy and minor items and tasks not captured in the summary, as well as 20 per cent for engineering and construction administration costs. The report found that Kettle Island is the most economically viable option, coming in at $200 million less than the cost of the next option. Hired by the National Capital Commission to establish which of the three locations would be the best option for a new interprovincial crossing, Roche-Genivar Joint Venture has been undertaking an environmental assessment for the past two years, holding public consultations, open houses, online comment forms and round table discussions to capture residents concerns and feelings towards a new crossing. Residents from three identified corridors have rallied together in the past, calling the process, the bridge options and even the need for a crossing at all into question. When looking at the cost summary, Christophe Credico of Manor

Park questions what he calls a stunning magnitude of costs associated with building any bridge in any of the corridors proposed. “Given that cost estimates in the NCC’s report are plus, minus 20 per cent, it’s safe to conclude that any of the three crossings is going to cost about the same amount of taxpayer money to build and maintain – approximately $1.5 billion,â€? Credico said. “That’s nearly double what the entire Confederation LRT line will cost.â€? Convent Glen/OrlĂŠans Wood Community Association president Ian Gadbois said a significant majority of the residents the association represents are against the proposal for a bridge in Corridor 6 or 7, with key arguments against these corridors being the Greenbelt and wetlands areas and the current traffic increases in the area. Gadbois also agrees the money could be better spent. “The significant increase in traffic on highway 174 that will compound current transportation and transit issues, and the high cost of the project when funds could be better spent on other projects that would be more beneficial to the OrlĂŠans and Ottawa communities,â€? Gadbois said. “A good example would be the extension of the LRT train to Trim Road.â€? These costs, Genivar states in the report, should be considered preliminary with more accurate estimates needed for ongoing budgeting and project financing purposes and in a memorandum attached the report, Genivar states the cost review estimates are consistent with industry standards and the resultant costs establish a basis for analysis and for comparing the relative cost of the various corridors. Rockcliffe resident Lori AsshetonSmith said the cost summary does not include mitigation measures in the analysis, one of the main issues

Students give voice to health issues through photography Winners of contest announced at community meeting Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - An All Saints Catholic High School student was honoured for her photography in Ottawa Public Health’s Photovoice contest. Xixi Jin took second runner-up and a $100 prize in the active transportation category for her photograph of her sister rollerblading. “I think active transportation is really important,â€? said Xixi, 15. She got the inspiration for her photo when she saw her sister, Kake, 8, taking advantage of sunny weather. “My sister; she’s very active,â€? said Xixi. Too many people continue to drive when they can ďŹ nd alternate ways to get around, said Xixi, adding active transportation helps to reduce pollution created by driving. “(People) really need to exercise,â€? said the Grade 9 student. “There’s a lot of ways.â€?

Mayor plans rural expo for May 31 laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Mayor Jim Watson has made it a point to tout the city’s rural attributes, but even he was surprised to learn there is a cranberry bog in Ottawa. The Upper Canada Cranberry Farm in Osgoode is just one of the rural producers that will be on display during the first Mayor’s Rural Expo on May 31 at city hall. “We have such great assets that people don’t even know about,” Watson said. The idea to showcase a couple dozen of the city’s rural farms, museums, events and non-profit organizations emerged during the 2010 election campaign, when Watson said he was struck by how disconnected urban and even suburban residents are from the vast rural part of the city outside the Greenbelt. “There wasn’t a sense that the downtown communities had a sense of how big rural Ottawa really is,” Watson said. Putting on the expo during the annual Food Aid event is a way to bring the country to the city and encourage Ottawans to support small local businesses in the city’s countryside, the mayor said. There are a whopping 1,128 farms operating within Ottawa’s boundar-

ies and they produce a gross income of $206 million annually, Watson said. “When I tell people that, they are blown away,” he said. While many rural businesses and organizations rely on patronage from their local communities, Watson sees an opportunity for economic development. “We want to encourage people to go visit rural Ottawa,” he said. Whether it’s a meal in Manotick or a bed and breakfast in Cumberland, staying within city limits offers great opportunities for a staycation, the mayor said, and he wants to help show off those options. DISPLAYS

The expo will feature displays of everything from the Osgoode Medieval Festival and the Deifenbunker to the Dairy Farmers of Canada, and of course, the Upper Canada Cranberry Farm. The expo will kick off with a $5 pancake breakfast supplied by Proulx Maple and Berry Farm and Stanley’s Olde Maple Lane Farm from 7 to 9 a.m. The mayor won’t have to bring the travel-sized bottle of syrup from the Vanier sugar shack that he normally totes to such breakfasts because there will be ample real maple

syrup on hand. More than 30 rural businesses, museums, festivals and organizations will display information and wares at booths from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Local celebrities will try their hands at milking a cow during two competitions taking place at 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. The Food Aid barbeque – a fundraiser for the Ottawa Food Bank – will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. For $10, hungry diners can grab a burger from The Works as well as chips and a drink. If you can’t attend the Food Aid barbeque, you can still donate $10 to the food bank by texting BEEF to 45678. Seven or eight rural musicians, including the Osgoode High School band, will perform throughout the day. While the event is meant as a celebration of rural culture and business, Watson said he and the rural members of city council will be at the expo and are open to talking about any rural issues residents might care to discuss. If the event is a success and the exhibitors find it worthwhile, Watson said he will look at bringing it back next year. The city is spending $4,000 to put on the event, mostly in advertising and banners.

with Clean Eating and Active Living Eat Clean…

Burn Fat

Be Lean

Faster!

Eating clean is simply the practice of avoiding processed and refined foods and basing your diet on whole foods. Whole foods include foods that are found in their natural state, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, grass-fed and free-range meats, wild fish, unsalted nuts, and seeds. The health benefits include the prevention of lifestyle diseases, losing weight and just feeling better! Relaxing, laughing and living is also a part of being well, so feel good by applying this 80% of the time and kicking back and enjoy the other 20% of the time. Include clean foods like avocado with anti-aging rich antioxidants. Avocados contain monounsaturated (good) fats which can help reverse insulin resistance and help regulate blood sugar levels. They also help us increase the absorption of other fat soluble nutrients such as eye friendly beta carotene, by up to 5 times!

Premium Selections Dragon Boat Festival: 06/12/2013 Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated in memory of Chiu Yuan, a famous patriotic poet during Chu dynasty; he was well respected by the publics for his upright personality. In order to prove his honesty and as a form of protest against the corrupted dynasty, he plunged himself into the river. The locals jumped into their boats and rushed out to search for him. To prevent his body from being eaten by the fish, they beat the water furiously with their paddles and threw rice dumplings wrapped in silk into the river to distract the fish. Because Qu Yuan died on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, people decided to commemorate him on that day every year. Dragon boat racing and eating rice dumplings have become the central customs of the festival. Quantities and/ or selection of items may be limited and may not be available in all stores.

Emerson has big ideas for Grampa’s visit

W

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories the biggest umbrella I had ever seen. He said he used it if rained while he was lawn bowling in Westboro. When Grampa visited, after we had our ride down Northcote Side Road, he spent the rest of his time with Mother -- his only daughter -- who he thought didn’t belong on a farm in the backwoods of Renfrew County. It was on one of those visits that Emerson was more anxious than usual to get our ride over with and see Grampa settled in the kitchen with Mother. He made sure the teacups were on the kitchen table, the kettle was boiling on the Findlay Oval and he knew Grampa would be in the kitchen for a spell. I saw him go over to the car and open the door on the

ural Expo Exp R s ’ o or

driver’s side and gently take the big black umbrella down off the hooks. I had no idea what he had in mind because it certainly wasn’t raining and it was as hot as blazes with not a cloud in the sky. It didn’t take Emerson long to drag me into the mystery by telling me I was going to have the experience of a lifetime, one I would never forget. Little did I know how truthful those words would turn out to be. If I had had an ounce of brains I would have headed for the hay loft. But Emerson made this venture sound so exciting, I was soon waiting to see what he had in mind. We went behind the house where the summer kitchen was attached to the wood shed. Father kept a stepladder there to patch the roof

e were soon to find out why Emerson was so anxious for a visit from Grampa, who lived in Ottawa and came out to Northcote often. He drove a car with a rumble seat in it and he never failed to pile us five kids in the back and tear down Northcote Side Road like someone possessed. Only three people could sit on the seat at one time, so two of us had to crouch on the floor. That was usually Earl and me. But Grampa always stopped at Briscoe’s General Store to buy us penny candy and that’s when he made us change places so that we each got a turn on the seat. I thought it was a car like no other. The running boards had real rubber on them and there was a little patch of rubber over the back fender where you stepped to gain entry to the rumble seat. Along the roof inside the car, there were two hooks on which Grampa carried a long black umbrella. It was

you hit the end of the roof, you’ll go sailing off just like an aeroplane. The umbrella will carry you. I’d love to do it first, but I think I’m a bit too heavy. According to my drawings, you are the perfect weight to go soaring through the air. And don’t worry about landing – you’ll land in the grass beside the

ground, miles away from the green grass around the pump with the umbrella covering me like a tarpaulin. I was sure I had broken every bone in my body. Father was just coming out of the barn to witness my flight and he was over to the shed in a shake. Emerson was nowhere to be seen. My

Before I could voice my objections, Emerson gave me a shove and I was off and running. I hit the edge of the roof in two seconds and me and umbrella were airborne. Well, it didn’t take long for the umbrella to collapse like a piece of newspaper and I landed on the hard

I was right behind him. Without any explanation, he handed Grampa the umbrella and all he said was “sometimes I think that lad doesn’t have the brains God gave a goose.”

when the leaks got so bad Mother threatened to head back to New York if he didn’t fix them. The shed roof was flat as a plate, and Emerson said it was from that very roof I was going to have the experience of a lifetime. Had I been a bit smarter, I would have known what he was up to with the big black umbrella in his hand, ordering me up the ladder. He was right behind me, making it impossible for me to change my mind. He opened the umbrella, which I thought was as big as a tent and ushered me to the very back of the shed roof. He took a piece of paper out of his overall pocket. He unfolded it and scanned it as if it held some important information. All I could see was a bunch of lines and what looked like clouds. Emerson squinted, spit on his thumb and held it in the air. I had no idea what he was doing. “Perfect,” he said. “Now you hold this umbrella as high as you can over your head and run – and I mean run – and when

Chapel of love opens doors

River Ward City Councillor Conseillère, quartier Rivière

Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

HAPPY VICTORIA DAY! I wish you and your family a safe and relaxing weekend.

EMC news - The old red brick church on Kenmore’s main street is a young bride’s dream: a plain but pretty steeple reaches into the sky, antique stained glass fills the windows and a big set of double doors lead to the sanctuary and a waiting husband beyond. Inside, three rows of pews fill the traditional sanctuary and form a semi-circle around the simple altar. Soft, coloured light sifts in from all sides. It’s a sanctuary in the truest sense of the word: open to people of any cultural background, spiritual belief or family situation. Until last spring, the church was home to a Baptist congregation, which due to dwindling attendance had to sell the building and disperse to nearby congregations. Bev and Casey McKibbon, a husband and wife duo who own the All Seasons Weddings officiant service, bought the building in May 2012. With the deed in hand, the McKibbons set to work turning the church into an intimate interfaith wedding chapel. They spent $200,000 restoring the church over the summer. With the help of contractors, they refinished the sanctuary’s original hardwood floors, pews and wood accents. They painted all the walls and renovated the church basement into offices and a meeting area. Next summer, they hope to landscape the church’s large yard to provide outdoor reception and ceremony space. Already, the renewed chapel has held seven weddings since it opened in November, and another eight are booked for the spring and summer. Casey was a United Church minister for 25 years before he started All Seasons Weddings with his wife 15 years ago. But even before he was in the wedding business, he felt there was a need for an accessible chapel for people of every faith - or lack thereof. “I had this idea 40 or 50 years ago and I was so busy in the church that I didn’t do

it,” he said. “When I took early retirement it came back to me.” He said many young couples can’t get married in the church of their dreams without first being a member of the congregation. That can be problematic if the couple is not religious or has different religious backgrounds. Pressure mounts when family members insist on a traditional wedding. “There are all kinds of spiritual people out there who aren’t connected to the church,” Bev added. The chapel is open to all cultures and faiths, and includes an All Seasons officiant of the couple’s choice to perform the ceremony. The couple has complete control over the ceremony, and can suit any cultural or religious need. Metcalfe resident John Learn and his wife Darlene renewed their vows at the chapel on Easter weekend. The couple had married in Thailand 16 years ago, but had never had a formal cer-

emony or celebration with family. He said the chapel was a perfect solution. “It’s absolutely magnificent,” he said. “We just liked the facility itself and we wanted to have an intimate kind of experience. It wasn’t a statement for or against religion.” Their children, Grace and Evan, Learn’s father and Darlene’s mother were all involved in the ceremony. “They serve a pretty broad constituency, from Buddhist to having your mom and dad help marry you,” he said. “As we are not members of a local church congregation; using the All Seasons chapel offered a traditional church setting for the service. It’s a very nice use for an old Baptist church.” On top of more elaborate weekend weddings, civil weddings similar to those at city hall will be offered at the chapel from Mondays to Thursdays, with several ceremony packages available.

Mental health program bridges youth in crisis Collaborative project offers services out of hospital Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - A new mental health program is building bridges between the services offered by various health institutions. The Bridges Project, a collaboration between the Youth Services Bureau, the Royal and the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, offers services to families and youth in crisis outside of a hospital setting. Five months after the program was announced and one month after coming into service, Bridges already has 12 clients. “As a caring community we want to see young people get the care they need when they need it,” said Joanne Lowe, executive director of the Youth Services Bureau on May 6, during a community meeting of the Ottawa Board of Health. Before the Bridges Project, it was up to those in crisis to find and access the services needed after being discharged from hospital. “Up until a few weeks ago, we would discharge those patients with a bit of a safety plan … and point them in the right direction,” said

Alex Munter, CEO and president of CHEO. The first 14 days after discharge is when the risk of suicide is the greatest, he added. Bridges helps minimize that risk by making it easier for at-risk youth to access the help they need once they leave the hospital. “We go to meet those youth where they are … when they are at the highest risk,” said Munter. “By working together on this we will literally change the future.” The program is offered to youth between the ages of 12 and 18. In the past three years, CHEO has seen a 67 per cent rise in youth crisis visits, said Munter. Providing services outside the hospital frees up beds, and youth in crisis can maintain some normalcy by staying at home and accessing services where they live. “These interventions are provided in the community … and help relieve pressures on hospitals,” said Dr. Alison Freeland, associate chief of psychiatry at the Royal. “We work with the client and their families,” said Lowe. “It gives us a fantastic opportunity to really see a client holistically.” Photographs taken by youth, for a contest spearheaded by Ottawa Public Health, depicting mental health issues, were donated to the Bridges Project.

Residents caught off guard by ATV proposal Laura Mueller

Proposed ATV routes

laura.mueller@metroland.com

Under the original plan, ATVs would be allowed on the shoulders of these roads: • 2nd Line Road between Belmeade and another road allowance and another section between Cabin and Osgoode Main • 3rd Line Road between a road allowance and McDiarmid • Cabin Road between Blanchfield and 2nd Line • Blanchfield Road between Springhill and Cabin • Doyle Road (north-south section) from Snake Island Road to the east-west section of Doyle • Manotick Station Road between a road allowance and Nick Adams Road • Nick Adams Road from Manotick Station Road to the end of Nick Adams • Stagecoach Road between two road allowances • Osgoode Main Street between 2nd Line and 5673 Osgoode Main St. (the Red Dot Café)

A proposed network of ATV trails in rural Ottawa would include more than eight kilometres of road shoulders. The routes would be for daytime use only. a way to bypass Blanchfield Road through discussions with a couple of representatives for affected residents, as well as the ATV club. Gough is hoping a better alliance with community members will give the ATV club a way to connect and negotiate with property owners whose land could be used to bypass roads like Blanchfield. Comfortable with that compromise, the committee approved recommending the trail network pilot project to council. There will be ample time to discuss a Blanchfield detour because the item won’t go to

council until June 12. “You have taken a lot of the wind out of my sails, and I thank you very much for that,” said Blanchfield resident Penny MacDonald. She was concerned about a reduction in property values. One problem Blanchfield Road resident Heather Hamilton had with the proposal was the amount of dust she expects it would create. Blanchfield is already disproportionately dusty even for a rural road, residents and Thompson agreed, and Hamilton and others worried that dust clouds kicked up by ATVs would reduce vis-

ibility and impede safety. Another Blanchfield resident, April Duncan, said her family uses ATVs but they oppose the trail network. She was also worried about dust, but she was also concerned that advertising an ATV trail would attract inconsiderate riders who are not club members, like the ones who frequently use and damage her property. Almost everyone agreed that the trail network wouldn’t do much about catching people who use ATVs illegally. “You’re not going to catch the

ones who aren’t behaving,” said Linda LaFrambroise. Resident Jeff Parsons said he supports the creation of an ATV trail network but wondered how many people would be using it. The Nation Valley club currently has 175 members. Gough said the club is hoping to expand once it has a legal trail network to use inside the city. If the network were to be implemented, ATV club members would be on call 24/7 to respond to concerns from neighbours. Enforcement is conducted by the Ottawa police marine, dive and trails unit. The study also uncovered several instances of property owners encroaching onto the city road allowances. The city will be negotiating with those neighbours to remove the encroachments or enter into agreements to allow some use of the road allowances.

EMC news - News of a proposed ATV trail network that skirts along their road came as a surprise to some Osgoode residents. The network would use 23.1 kilometres of unopened city road allowances through Osgoode, but it would also require allowing all-terrain vehicles to ride along the shoulders of 8.3 km of roads. The Nation Valley ATV Club operates a trail network in a similar manner in North Grenville and North Dundas and would maintain the trails inside the City of Ottawa. Only club members would be permitted to use the trails and ATVs could only run during daytime hours. The idea is to create a trail “backbone,” which would hopefully be supplemented by trails through private property over time through agreements with owners, said Kris Gough, a member of the ATV club who has taken the lead on the project. City staff was originally reluctant to support the idea, said Derrick Moodie, rural development review manager, but he’s now “a lot more comfortable” with the idea, he said. Osgoode residents, on the other hand, felt differently. Around 10 of them came to Carp to speak to the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee on May 6 to ask the committee to delay a vote on a two-year trial period for the network. Six of seven residents of Blanchfield Road in particular were not impressed with the plans – nor the lack of notice. Affected residents were mailed letters two weeks before the committee meeting, but the network has been in the works for two years. Gough said he did everything in his power to get the word out, from hosting public meetings to communicating through Coun. Doug Thompson’s newsletters and speaking to the media. “It was never our intention to come into the community and cause controversy,” Gough said. “We would like to stay as far away from roads as possible.” Before the meeting even got underway, Thompson committed to finding

EMC news - When it came to reaching out to the Aboriginal community on cancer screening and detection, Wabano turned to its youth

to help spread the news. Partnering up with Cancer Care Ontario, the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health launched a poster contest in the winter, inviting any of its after school children and youth to participate in expressing what

cancer awareness means to them. Director of social medicine at the centre, Mary Albota, said children always have the best way of putting things - and submissions proved her right. “Kids are very wise and they can be frank,� Albota said. “Sometimes they have a way of saying things that would get adults attention.� Members from Wabano and Cancer Care Ontario judged the submissions and named Symone Pettier and Alexandra Lalonde as the winners. “These two stood out from the rest,� Albota said. Albota said she had worked with the youth during the after school programming, explaining the importance of cancer awareness and naming the three key cancers, breast cancer, colon and rectal cancer and cancer of the cervix. Of the other submissions, slogans like “Don’t be dumb, like your bum� were submitted to by the children. Albota said some of the slogans may sound silly, but effective. “Who wouldn’t read that if you say it,� she said. Pettier said she spent a couple of days on her poster and had talked to her family members about what she should draw. It was her grandmother who then told Pettier her aunt had and has survived breast cancer - all because of early detection. Pettier made that the focus of her poster. ATTENTION GRABBER

Albota said Pettier’s poster, which included a real photograph of her aunt grabs people’s attention. “It puts a face to the cancer,� she said. “..and Pettier has spent the time to tell that story, with both images and words.� Materials with a focus on Aboriginal health are already being handed out with the posters being the second phase of the campaign. Both images from the posters will be printed and spread throughout the city and province. Lalonde’s slogan, “You can live a good story� will be on the posters, where as Pettier’s focus on her survivor aunt will be a feature story on the poster. Albota credits Cancer Care Ontario for approaching the centre with this Aboriginal-focused program.

Symone Pettier shows off her first prize poster at the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health on May 8. Pettier and 16 other young adults submitted posters to help promote cancer awareness to the Aboriginal community, her poster will be used in the upcoming province-wide campaign.

“They saw the problem and reached out to us to help make a difference,� she said. “They saw that Aboriginal people are underscreened and under-serviced.� According to Albota, the three cancers the campaign is focusing on are because they are the three biggest killers for Aboriginal people. Mostly, she said, because of the lack of screening or being tested. The other reason is because of how remote some Aboriginal communities are, and how little medical equipment is available. Albota said all this needs to change, and she is happy Cancer Care Ontario has both identified and is doing something about the need. “We have big dreams, but then again, here, we have big dream catchers, I think we can make it happen.�

Centretown group bows to staff CDP changes Community-developer deal is dead Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

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 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. “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 percentage 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 valu-

able,” Fobert told city planners during the April 30 briefing. Without a plan for how community benefit monies collected from developers should be allocated, 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.” 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.

Relay teams up with Osgoode high school Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - A new partnership could take the Relay for Life at Stanley’s Farm farther than it’s ever gone before. Fundraiser organizer Rhonda Comeau said the farm has partnered with students at Osgoode Township High School to raise awareness and money for cancer research. So far about six student teams are registered from the school, Comeau said, on top of the eight community teams the farm has come to expect over the past four years. Comeau said the partnership could be a big boost for the all-night cancer fundrais-

er, which is relatively small compared to other Relay for Life events across the city. “One of the students from OTHS is co-chairing and she has a lot of fun ideas for games and activities to keep it more interesting for everyone,� Comeau said. That student is Kelsey Curtis, a Grade 12 student who approached Comeau earlier this year when public school teachers were on work to rule because of a labour dispute with the provincial government. Curtis wanted to continue the school’s annual Relay for Life tradition but couldn’t do it without the teachers. “The principal didn’t want us to have it on school prop-

erty and we wouldn’t have been able to use teacher volunteers, so we were trying to ďŹ nd another place to run it,â€? Curtis said. She knew that Stanley’s Farm has been doing a small relay for several years, and thought it could be a good ďŹ t. “We thought it would be convenient since it’s so close to the school and its such a close-knit community,â€? she said. “We thought it would be great to help expand their relay and provide an opportunity for OTHS students to still raise money for cancer.â€? The event begins at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 24 and goes all night until 7 a.m. on Saturday morning. Throughout the night, extra

who will take turns walking around the track. Like most Relay for Life

events, Stanley’s Farm will host a survivor’s lap at the beginning of the evening, followed by a kiddie lap for the younger walkers. Comeau hopes to match or surpass the $25,000 the event raised last year - which shouldn’t be too hard with at least six extra teams on board. “If we get the same or maybe a little bit more we’ll be happy,� she said. Teams can still register and fundraise for the event, and individuals are welcome to drop by the farm throughout the event to see what it’s about and support the teams, Comeau said.

Newcomers welcomed at Habitat site nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Twigs, leaves and plywood provided the floor for a Habitat for Humanity groundbreaking ceremony on Nantes Street, but soon enough, lawns and carpeting will be underfoot. A wobbly table full of juice boxes was set up for the May 9 ceremony, and it too will be replaced, by three kitchen tables. Only the juice boxes are likely to stay the same – there are lots of kids moving in. Three families are expected to take possession of their new homes in as little as four months, with eight children among the new residents. “Thank you to all who, in one way or another, made this possible,” said Margarita Caceres, who will live in a new bungalow with her husband Salvador and their four children. Prior to the groundbreaking, speakers reiterated that the three families are receiving “a hand up, not a handout.” Each of the new homeowners is employed but earns a low income. They will pay off an interest-free mortgage and will also donate hundreds of hours of time to building the homes or to Habitat in other forms of volunteer work. Habitat then uses the repaid mortgages to carry out more home building. Donna Hicks, the CEO of Habitat for Humanity’s National Capital Region

branch, said the Nantes Street houses will mean the Ottawa area will soon have 43 Habitat homes. She noted that one of the Nantes homes will be the first built with an aboriginal family in mind – Ida Kakekagumicks and her three grandchildren – all of whom attended the groundbreaking and took part in a traditional smudging ceremony to prepare the site. The land where the three homes will be built was donated by the Regional Group of Companies, a real estate and investment firm, and their partners. Volunteer builders and some professionals will turn the site into a hive of activity for about four months. Work was expected to begin last week. The three homes consist of one bungalow and one duplex designed to appear similar to the single-family homes in the neighbourhood. For more information on the Habitat build, visit www.habitatncr.com.

Speeches can’t hold the attention of Diego Caceres, 23 months, prior to a Habitat for Humanity groundbreaking on Nantes Street on May 9. Diego and his parents, sister and two brothers hope to move into one of the three new homes which will be built at the corner of Nantes and Portobello Road in about four months. NEVIL HUNT/METROLAND

Daphne was brought to the shelter as a stray on March 15 and is now available for adoption. Daphne is a typical energetic pup who loves her toys especially when she has a human to play with her. She will

do great with a family who is active, and will provide her with daily exercise and the opportunity to socialize with other dogs! Daphne will make a great family pet for families with kids 4 and over and are comfortable around dogs. This highly food motivated gal is looking to show you just how smart she is, if you are willing to give her the opportunity!

Tristan is a neutered male, fawn tabby, Domestic Shorthair cat who loves to lounge on just about any surface! He is 8-years-old, was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on March 27 and is now available for adoption!

Trixie

Trixie is an older cat (now about 16) who came to us from the Philipines when she was about five years old. She is a true heat-loving cat. She is nervous about being outside alone, but loves it when I’m working in the yard or garden and can ‘protect’ her. Tuesday was the first really warm day for laying down and absorbing some rays while I raked! 9d ndj i]^c` ndjg eZi ^h XjiZ Zcdj\] id WZ ÆI=: E:I D; I=: L::@Ç4 HjWb^i V e^XijgZ VcY h]dgi W^d\gVe]n d[ ndjg eZi id ÒcY dji H^bean ZbV^a id/ X[dhiZg5i]ZcZlhZbX#XV ViiZci^dc ÆEZi d[ i]Z LZZ`Ç

The New Member: Dave I was not looking for any new groups or business associates. No new acquaintances. I figured it was time to sit back and enjoy what hard work and some success (luck) had granted me. But, over the last few years, whether it was age or just wisdom, my eyes were opened to see that there are many Ottawa South communities, schools, families and individuals who have not had the same opportunities to grow. The opportunity to appreciate what so many of us take for granted in our everyday lives. About a year ago, a close business associate invited me to the Rotary Club of Ottawa South weekly meeting; and I immediately felt a kinship. Since joining, I have realized the simple Dave (on the right) and fellow load book bags and school joy... the overall Rotarians supplies for local students and satisfaction to homework clubs. give back to life, communities, families, individuals and children what I had so zealously consumed most of my life. Don’t get me wrong. Hard work and maintaining a constant growth personally and financially is great and I appreciate what I’ve earned. But, I realized it’s worth so much more when give something back. The Rotary Club of Ottawa South is an active group of almost 40 women and men with a simple common belief and goal. “Service above self.” It is the Rotary motto and pillar of our collective conscious. We all need to give something back. Rotary, on its many levels, simply provides the map and a vehicle to arrive at your chosen charity or institution. Every month, EMC readers can catch up with the Rotary Club of Ottawa and the various local and international projects we are involved in. We have assisted and contributed to many deserving groups and causes around the world: ROTEL, The Ottawa Rotary Home, Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, many local High School bursaries, local education and recreation programs, education and sanitation projects in Africa, the list goes on and on. At the core of most of our projects is literacy and health… and fun! We truly enjoy the camaraderie and social aspect of Rotary. Interested? Let’s chat over lunch; we meet every Wednesday at the Hunt and Golf Club. Check out RotaryOttawaSouth.ca or contact us at: info@ rotaryottawasouth.ca. We’d love to hear from you! Dave Gough, recent member of RCOS
