Findlay Creek needs new school: parents

Inside news

Eddie Rwema

eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news - Findlay Creek parents are demanding the Ottawa public school board approve an accommodation review that could pave the way to building a new elementary school in the area by 2014.

The parents presented a Findlay Creek school survey taken by the area’s community association and a petition signed by 565 people calling for an accommodation review to the board’s business services committee meeting on June 14.

The survey shows the community has the numbers required to sustain a new school, even if the school board says otherwise, said Sumana Jana, chair of education with Findlay Creek Community Association.

“We have been doing a door-to-door survey, and we have gone to schools where our kids go to; like Elizabeth Park Public School, Sawmill Creek elementary school and Blossom Park Public School to get the numbers of children from our community that go to those schools,” said Jana.

She said the survey results show 190 kids from Findlay Creek are currently attending Elizabeth Park.

Federal government gives $3-million grant to support development of palliative care.

At a news conference on June 12, Staff Sgt.John McGetrick said they were pursuing, a 17-year-old girl, for forcing other teens into prostitution; after it emerged that a number of girls between the ages of 13 and 17 were lured to an address in the 2400 block of Walkley Road and subsequently driven to other locations for the purposes of prostitution.

Police have since confirmed that the girl they were looking for is 16, not 17 as they originally announced.

“This is something that shocked us in the community and we are actively investigating,” said McGetrick.

Age of human trafficking suspects ‘disturbing ’: police From TRAFFICKING, page 1

The two girls were arrested after police received three individual reports in late May and early June that triggered the investigation.

“The investigations led us to the suspects,” he said.

McGetrick said the ages of both the victims and the

but is urging any potential victims to come forward.

He said their investigations had been limited by the fact that the names of the accused cannot be revealed under the terms of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. “It’s a complicated investigation searching for someone that you

do an enjoyable activity,” McGetrick told reporters.

“There was no ill intent in the invite but obviously things changed.”

At this point he said investigators do not have any evidence the three suspects were being controlled by anyone else.

McGetrick said he is not aware of any other victims,

suspects make this a “disturbing and shocking” case.

He added police are not aware of any similar cases of this magnitude.

McGetrick believes social media was a factor in the initial meetings that were arranged between the accused and the victims.

Findlay Creek children sent to 16 different elementary schools From FINDLAY CREEK, page 1

The study shows 35 students attend Blossom Park, 10 attend Sawmill Creek, five attend Roberta Bondar, five attend Leitrim Montessori and one is enrolled at Westboro Academy.

She said there are 75 children in the Findlay Creek area between the ages of 0 to four years who would go to the new school if it opened in 2014.

“To us 321 is a really good number because we know schools that have less than that number,” said Jana In a letter to the director of education at the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, the association said the lack of a public elementary school in the area has resulted in children of Findlay Creek attending 16 different schools with six in OCDSB. Builders in the community anticipate 400 new homes by 2015, making the need for the school all the more important, states the letter.

The board has previously said it would move ahead with an accommodation review “if time permits,” which is unacceptable, said the parents’ group.

About 15 parents were on hand at business service committee to raise concerns and ask the reason for the delay in conducting an accommodation review.

In the last 12 months we have moved the yard stick in the right direction.

“The balance has tipping in our favour in terms of a business case for the school more and more within the last 12 months,” he said.

The future closure of Elizabeth Park Public School, which accommodates many children

from Findlay Creek, might shift timelines of opening a new school in the area in their favour, said Fisher.

The building that houses Elizabeth Park is leased from the Department of National Defense and is now in need of significant capital renewal.

“If the lease gets terminated, we would want to move

to building a new school. The choice becomes investing tax payer’s money the right way,” said Fisher.

“I know there is lots of frustration, people have wanted the school decades ago but I think we are moving in the right direction and I am working hard as I can to make sure this project happens.”

Eddie Rwema

Area trustee Mark Fisher and Sumana Jana, chair of the Findlay Creek Community Association’s education committee attend an Ottawa public school board business services committee meeting on June 14. The parents are demanding the public school board to support the construction of a new school in Findlay Creek.

Responding to parents’ questions, Mike Carson, superintendent of facilities, said school board funding was outside their control, making it hard for them to set timelines.

“It is the ministry’s responsibility and the timing is up to them,” said Carson.

To him, the numbers of students being generated from the Findlay Creek area are at a stage where they would be difficult on their own to justify construction of a new school under the guidelines of the province.

Jana disagreed, saying that numbers generated by their survey speak for themselves.

“I was a little disappointed

with his response. I think it is not the kind of response that a community who’s very frustrated wanted to hear,” said Jana.

Mark Fisher, Ottawa public school board trustee for Gloucester-Southgate/Nepean/ Osgoode, said he understands the community’s frustration since the project has been in the pipeline for quite some time now.

“Before I became a trustee for this area, I knew the board was talking of building this school in the Leitrim area since 2006,” said Fisher.

Fisher said he is hopeful things are a heading in the right direction.

EMC news –The city needs to widen Bank Street to four lanes between Leitrim and Rideau roads, recommends an environmental assessment.

The road widening project is needed to meet the area’s rate of development, said Angela Taylor, a city project engineer, during a public open house held at the Fred Barrett Arena June 11.

“We have identified that there is a need to widen this roadway because of capacity and intersection improvements that need to happen” said Taylor.

The existing two-lane stretch of road won’t be able to handle projected traffic flow, states the assessment.

The widening of Bank street was identified in the city’s transportation master plan as a major arterial road connecting the south urban community and destinations south with major east to west routes.

The actual widening may not happen until 2022.

The study investigated connectivity between communities to the south and urban Ottawa, intersection geometry at Leitrim Road and Bank Street, extension of four-lane road section north of Leitrim and accommodation for pedestrians and cyclists.

Summer camps foster love of nature Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – Chasing frogs, swimming in the lake and getting fresh air: that’s what summer’s all about, at least according to Baxter Conservation Area south of Kars.

The conservation site run by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority hopes to provide kids with a taste of nature during its summer day camps in July and August. Each week the camp leaders will focus on a different theme such as insects, birds or reptiles. Kids ages six to 12 will spend their days doing pond and insect studies, making crafts, playing games and swimming at the beach.

“We want to encourage kids to have a deeper appreciation of nature and to enjoy it,” said Andrea Wood, the education interpreter and manager at the conservation area. “It’s a good ‘Get out of the house, learn about nature and have fun while doing it’ kind of camp.”

The camps run throughout the summer in week-long sessions.

Baxter Conservation Area is located along the shores of the Rideau River. For more information about the summer camps visit www.rvca.ca or call 613-489-3592.

EMC news - A public school board trustee Pam Fitzgerald announced her resignation on June 14, citing poor health and political divisions in the board as reasons for leaving her post.

The 58-year-old, who covers the area that corresponds with the municipal College ward, was diagnosed with colon cancer in December.

Fitzgerald there’s a lot going on at the school board, with pressure from the province to amalgamate the boards and upcoming negotiations with teachers and staff this fall.

“There’s a lot of pressure on the board. The negotiations in the fall could lead to labour action,” she said. “I thought it best to leave now because of my health. That way there’s time for someone else to get up to speed.”

Fitzgerald also said she finds the “political horse trading” at the board level tiresome.

“You’re going to have that in any political arena to some extent,” she said. “But there really should be more concern for the kids.”

Donna Blackburn, trustee for Barrhaven and Knoxdale/ Merivale, was involved in some politics when NepeanCarleton MPP Lisa MacLeod and Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder threatened to force her

to resign over her decision to fund a rebuild of Broadview Public School, but Blackburn said she has put the issue behind her.

“I have moved on and we have work to do as a board,” Blackburn said. “The board is doing well; we passed the budget and hired the staff we needed. Yes, there are glitches from time to time, but the board works well.”

MacLeod said she wanted to thank Fitzgerald for her service and wished her well in her recovery. She added that the chair has a big role to play in bringing the board of trustees together.

“There are trustees I keep close counsel with who have made an effort to reach out and I think that’s important moving forward,” MacLeod said.

Fitzgerald has been in her post since 2006 and took a run at provincial politics as a NDP candidate for the riding of Ottawa West-Nepean during the March 2010 by election to replace Jim Watson as MPP. Fitzgerald said she doesn’t have any political aspirations for her future and plans to focus on her health and personal life.

“I woke up this morning and thought ‘This will be the first time since my son was born that I will have my evenings free,’” she said. “I want to go dancing.”

Public board trustee Pam Fitzgerald resigned last week, citing poor health and political divisions among trustees as her reasons.

Fitzgerald said after some 20 years of being an advocate and trustee, she is planning on taking advantage of a more normal schedule.

Orleans-Cumberland trustee John Shea said he has seen Fitzgerald work almost every night for the last six years.

“I have respect for the decision she made to step down,” he said. “I hope she comes to a place where she isn’t being fueled by division.”

During her tenure as trustee, Fitzgerald said she was most proud of her work with a program at the PinecrestQueensway Community Health Centre called Pathways to Education that helps to mentor and tutor children coming from low-income

families to make sure they stay in school and graduate.

She was also instrumental in implementing a reading program for children with dyslexia and learning disabilities.

“We ended up going with a model used at Sick Kids in Toronto and it was instrumental in kids’ development and ensuring they learned to read,” she said.

Over the years, Fitzgerald said she has made some great friendships and said it was fulfilling to see some of the great work happening in local schools.

“It was an honour,” she said.

The plan for the new Lansdowne includes a renovated stadium and Civic Centre, a new city park next to the Rideau Canal and a lively urban village linked to Bank Street with a mixture of stores, restaurants, residences and public spaces. The Lansdowne redevelopment project will create 18.5 acres of park and will include 880 trees, nearly four times the trees and three times the greenspace than what currently exists today.

I am pleased to see this historic and important City project moving forward.

Federal government gives $3 million to improve end-of-life care One-time grant to help provide wide range of hospice care in the community Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroalnd.com

EMC news - A three-year initiative to support the development of new palliative care models has received a onetime federal funding grant of $3 million.

The funding will help ensure that hospice palliative care is available at the community level not only for patients, but their families as well.

During the announcement held at the Hospice at May Court in Old Ottawa South on June 12, federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq said Canadians who are ill and are at the end of their lives need and deserve compassionate care that is seamless and tailored to their needs. “That is why our government is providing funding for the Canadian Palliative Care Association and its partners to improve access to palliative care for Canadians and support the sustainability of the health care system,� she said.

The contribution will facilitate the delivery of palliative care in a range of settings and by a variety of care providers. “It is important that health care professionals think about how to care for people near the end of their lives, so families don’t need to be bur-

dened,� said Aglukkaq, adding that palliative care means easing the strain on families, providing care to loved ones, so they can make the most of their time together.

She said a majority of Canadians would prefer to spend their final days at home, but 60 per cent of them still pass away in hospitals.

She said the goal of the initiative is to deliver palliative care that will make it easier for health care providers to honour the end of life wishes of Canadians. “This approach delivers better care for patients while allowing fewer people to occupy hospital beds and allowing health care dollars to go even further,� said Aglukkaq.

Supporters of hospice palliative care in the Ottawa area have had concerns about shortage of hospice beds for some time now, according to David Hogberg, executive director of the May Court. “Of the 80 beds identified in the recent study as a requirement for the Ottawa area, we have only the nine residential beds located at the Hospice at May Court,� he said.

He added that as the population ages, the demand for hospices beds will only increase.

In an effort to address this

across four sites in Ottawa,� said Hogberg. “Through this important work, our community will continue to be a pace setter in the area of hospice palliative care as we will be the first jurisdiction in Ontario to initia-

tive a city wide integration of hospice services.�

For Sharon Baxter, executive director of the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association, the funding will help with provide more easily accessible hospice palliative

care to more Canadians and their families.

She said studies show 41 per cent of all Canadian seniors are dealing with two or more chronic diseases, which account to approximately 70 per cent of all deaths.

East-end bridge is not just about us

N

ow is not the time for the city to turn its back on the development of an east-end bridge between Ottawa and Gatineau.

Perhaps when the idea was first floated decades ago, it could have been rubbished as some sort of whimsical pipe dream. But now, when the population of the OttawaGatineau region is only a hair below 1.25 million, is not the time to balk at such a move.

It is important to remem-

ber the stated purpose of building a new bridge is not narrow. It is conceived as, among other things, a way to improve the lives of those who regularly cross the Ottawa River by improving transportation links, take heavy vehicle traffic out of Ottawa’s downtown core and to boost economic development in the National Capital Region.

The position taken by members of several east end communities, and surpris-

ingly by Mayor Jim Watson, that we should not consider an east-end interprovincial link at all simply fails to address the needs of this region.

Will the lives of those crossing the river be improved by extending Ottawa light rail further east? Will, by the same token, trucks be compelled to no longer clog King Edward Avenue if Orleans commuters have a rail link to the downtown core?

Will the economic needs of those living on the north bank

of the river be served by such narrow views?

Residents in Ottawa’s east end need to remember that this project does not exist only to make their lives miserable. It is a regional project and must serve the needs of the region, which means proving to be a benefit to not just Ottawa and Gatineau, but Ontario, Quebec and the National Capital Commission.

This is not to suggest this is a simple, easy task. That’s why after many years of dis-

cussion and planning, there’s still no bridge.

There will never be a perfect location for the bridge that makes absolutely everyone happy. But that’s the nature of significant, city building projects. Just look at Lansdowne Park or light rail. Both have elicited strong reactions from a variety of constituencies about how best to proceed. But in neither case is doing nothing a real option.

Does this mean there’s no

room for discussion about where to put the bridge? Of course not. Perhaps there are other options to consider outside the presently considered Kettle Island, Lower Duck Island and McLaurin Bay corridors. If a strong case can be made to all the relevant stakeholders, perhaps something new would be considered.

But it is long past time when we can simply put our heads in the sand and not build a bridge. The future of all those who live in the National Capital Region is too important to stand alone at a time when we should be moving forward together.

Going bonkers over plastic bag bans CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

I

like the way a humble plastic bag can inspire a mighty ideological battle, with both sides marshalling lofty rhetoric and deeply philosophical theories on the subject.

Is there anything more humble than a plastic bag? You acquire it almost by accident, you discard it without a second thought. You put garbage in it, not to mention dog poop. It is not a beloved household item. It is unlovable.

And yet, a deep love has been professed for it by those who see the plastic bag as a symbol of society’s need to fight intrusive government.

Toronto city council sparked all this by passing a motion banning plastic bags. On the surface, this is not all that outrageous. Other societies, including Third World nations, have taken similar action, and even here plastic bag use has been on the decline with people turning to cloth bags rather than pay for plastic bags in grocery stores. But Toronto council’s action has brought out those who deplore the state getting into their private behaviour and see the plastic bag ban as the thin edge of the wedge – the fat end of the wedge being unclear at the moment.

Perhaps they fear that our city councils will begin banning vacuum cleaners or spray-on starch.

Amidst all these grand arguments we have to remember: it’s only a plastic bag. Will we really miss it?

Some of the opposition’s arguments need to be examined. Will more trees die as consumers and retailers are forced to switch to paper?

That’s worth a look.

For that matter, maybe the increased use of cloth bags threatens the world’s cloth supply.

You can argue these and other theories forever, but the notion that a ban on plastic bags won’t work is probably wrong. It rests on the assumption that people are incapable of change. But we’re not. We switched to metric, to unleaded gas. We adopted the designated driver. And, in the most relevant comparison, we have adjusted to smoking bans.

Who could have conceived of a smoking ban three decades ago, when there were ashtrays in offices, smoking in stores, in movie theatres, when more than 40 per cent of adults smoked. Today, the smoking rate is half of that, and almost all public places are smoke-free.

Perhaps more significantly, most private places are smoke-free too, as even the most diehard smokers go outside rather than light up in someone’s home.

If we can do all that, we can do without plastic bags too.

The consequences of not doing so can be seen in some countries where litter control is less strict than it is here. Plastic bags hang from the trees and bushes, cling to fences like some kind of filmy flower.

And the results of a plastic bag ban can be seen in other countries, such as Rwanda, where you cannot even bring plastic bags into the country. The trees, bushes and fences are clear, and there doesn’t seem to be any public agitation for plastic bags to return. Either taxes or outright bans are in place in many countries and cities around the world with no apparent ill effects.

So that leaves the main argument against banning plastic bags as the philosophical one – that governments shouldn’t be in the business of banning stuff. As we have seen, banning stuff has mixed results. Prohibition didn’t work all that well. On the other hand, banning people from driving 150 kilometres per hour on city streets is a pretty good thing.

For sure, people will miss having plastic bags as garbage bin liners, perhaps the role they were put on Earth to fulfill. But hey, we’re a resourceful people. If we can put a man on the moon, surely we can figure something out.

Public education ‘increasingly two-tier’: critics The third and final installment in a series that looks at school fundraising

By Kristen Calis, Jessica Cunha and Rosie-Ann Grover

T

he best way to end the Ontario school system’s reliance on fundraising is to pour more money into public education, parents, teachers and critics say.

“We are getting increasingly (to be) a two-tiered education system,” says NDP education critic Peter Tabuns.

“That speaks to the need for adequate funding of the education system so parents don’t feel compelled to raise money.”

Fundraising Fever, a Metroland Special Report, shows that concerns about overuse of fundraising – and the disparities it creates – are growing province-wide.

Potential solutions also include a proposal by the advocacy group People for Education, which wants a provincial Equity in Education grant created to reduce inequities triggered by fundraising. School boards are pushing for an evaluation of provincial education funding to determine whether the current model is fair to all students.

“The pressure to fundraise will only grow as boards try to meet the austerity measures of provincial governments,” says Catherine Fife, president of the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association. “We can’t go to our parent councils or school councils and keep asking for money.”

There’s no question money is tight.

The McGuinty government is starting consultations this fall to cut $10 million from school board administration budgets by 2013-14.

Progressive Conservative education critic Lisa MacLeod says there is a lot of waste in the system and boards don’t always spend their funding appropriately. “They’ll claim they have no money, but are they managing the money effectively?” she asks.

Some groups, including Social Planning Toronto, believe fundraising should be banned outright, except for raising dollars for external charities.

“I’d rather not have it,” says Chris Ellis, who sits on four school councils in Ottawa. “I’d like for schools to not be able to raise funds for their own use so then parents in those affluent areas might become involved and speak up for greater funding for the education system.”

The Coalition Against Public School Inequality suggests a cap on school fundraising. A percentage of each school’s profits above and beyond the limit would go into an equalization fund to help disadvantaged schools.

But the Ontario Federation of Home and School Associations says a limit would be too restrictive.

“We actually don’t want somebody to say you have to stop here. It’s up to the parents to decide how much they want to do or whether they’ve had enough,” says Lee Gowers, president

Tannis Toohey

The purchase of new playground equipment is a common fundraising goal for parents. of the group.

Raising taxes would be a controversial solution, but “that’s how you address inequity, unpopularly through taxes,” says Annie Kidder, executive director of People for Education.

“At some point, we have to bite the bullet and go, ‘That’s what taxes pay for.’ If we want our kids to have books in their libraries, we have to pay taxes.”

Critics say the province should outline exactly what materials, activities and programs should be available – at no cost to parents – in all Ontario schools. Currently, it’s OK to raise funds for library books, gym equipment and musical instruments.

“You need to start with the policy and the vision and laying out concretely what should be there in schools,” says Kidder. “Then you start talking about how you fund it to ensure it’s fair and equitable.”

There is also interest in a boardwide mentorship program where successful fundraising schools partner with those that need a hand, helping to reduce the gap in funds raised.

“To me, that’s how successful fundraising can be done, really sharing the best practices,” says parent Roxanne Horwitz, who sits on the St. Bernadette Catholic School council in Ajax Education foundations across the province continue to play a role, helping to reduce inequities in opportunity between well-off and disadvantaged schools. There is no severe pressure on schools to raise funds for things like field trips because many foundations will cover those costs.

“Having a central education foundation completely changes the landscape for children in a city,” says Jane Fulton, executive director of the Education Foundation of Ottawa. “We make sure that no student is left out.”

Small businesses and large corporations continue to work to bridge the gap by providing donations and incentive programs.

“That’s what we are counting on, businesses in the community,” says Luce Paradis, principal at Assumption Catholic School in Ottawa. The school is located in a low-income area and doesn’t usually host fundraisers. Without corporate donations, it wouldn’t be able to reach its goal of $50,000 for a new play structure. “We have to outsource a little bit.”

The Campbell’s Labels For Education program, for example, invites schools to collect labels from Campbell’s products, such as soup cans and Goldfish crackers, and redeem them for educational resources from books to gym equipment. A number of other companies, such as Chapters, Boston Pizza and McDonald’s, host special events that encourage parents to purchase their products and then give a portion of sales back to local schools.

Others, such as the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, believe businesses don’t belong in public schools.

“It’s a tempting road because it’s a quick fix to the funding situation,” says Kawartha Pine Ridge ETFO president David Wing. “Children are already bombarded enough with commercial messages.”

Kaz Novak

Fundraising dollars are often used to invest in new technology.

EMC news - When it comes to fighting cancer, Robert Bateman students believe every little bit counts.

On June 14, about 375 students, teachers and volunteers got moving in a schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2K walk to raise money for cancer research.

The walk was held in honour of Patrick Kennedy, a student of Robert Bateman who died of cancer at age of eight in 1998 and Andrew Kirkwood, a parent, who is battling cancer and has been instrumental in fundraising for cancer research.

The event is called 2K walk, after Kennedy and Kirkwood, whose last names begin with the letter K and for the distance of the walk.

It is the 13th year that students at Robert Bateman have participated in the walk.

In the past 12 years, the school has raised more than $136,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walk we hope to reach $145,000in

total pledges mark,â&#x20AC;? said Gary Fackelmann, teacher in charge of the walk.

The teacher said the walk is gaining notoriety within the research community and they hope they can be just as successful this year.

Facklemann added that they do the walk with the hope that kids can understand that just because you have cancer you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to die and to inspire them to be community builders by giving back to the community.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It is like a party atmosphere. The kids like it a lot.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; GARY FACKELMANN ROBERT BATEMAN PUBLIC SCHOOL

Local martial arts instructor John Leroux led his annual Tae Bo warmup, in the school yard, before students begun the walk that took them past the Kennedy house on Topley Avenue where

class representatives tied a ribbon on a tree donated in honour of Kennedy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is the route Grade 2 student Patrick would have walked to and from school.

After the walk the students stopped at Elizabeth Manley Park and enjoyed games and activities in the park as well as a hot dog. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is like a party atmosphere. The kids like it a lot,â&#x20AC;? said Fackelmann.

Early this year the school received an award from the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

The Survivorship Award is one of the highest honours at the Cancer Foundationonly two were given out this year.

Principle Jocelyn Fagan, said the walk has helped students realize how important it is to give back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is their way of contributing and it is very visible,â&#x20AC;? said Fagan.

Tanner Insurance provided T-shirts for everyone, and a Sangster Family brought hot dogs for the entire school.

By Gabriel Mayost There is a stigma associated with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease that often prevents open discussion of the symptoms, but people like John Wilson are doing what they can to help change that.

Wilson, and inhabitant of Renfrew, has dealt extensively with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease. Seven years ago, his father was diagnosed with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, and now, his mother has early onset symptoms of the disease.

While people sometimes become forgetful as they age, in his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, the symptoms were clear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was always forgetting names, which was normal,â&#x20AC;? say Wilson, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but forgetting things, like something he was supposed to pick up.

And there were some driving issues, where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be somewhere with my mom and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go home without her.â&#x20AC;?

Wilson and his family confronted the situation by seeking out help.

through that waiting and talking with a couple

â&#x20AC;&#x153;From there on, ďŹ nding out what we can about Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease through the Alzheimer Society.â&#x20AC;?

Wilson credits the Alzheimer Society for providing information on the disease, available services, and what to expect. Wilson and his sister attended various seminars offered by the Alzheimer Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ces in Pembroke, Arnprior, and Ottawa.

Wilson has since become involved with the Alzheimer Society. He was the second place winner in its Walk for Memories fundraising campaign for the last two years, and has arranged for speakers to address his community in order to spread awareness of the dementia services available in Ottawa and Renfrew County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess the big thing is for people to realize that there is support and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go through it alone,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quite often, there are often only two family members or less

to deal with the load, and you end up with caregiver burnout.â&#x20AC;?

Wilson has the following advice for those who are concerned about a family member experiencing memory loss: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seek help as soon as you can. If the diagnosis is Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, there are medications that are available that can slow symptoms. And being involved with the Alzheimer Society makes you aware of what is available and what you can do.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No wrong doorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for crime victims Unique Ottawa network provides access to resources for victims of crime Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

ment of Mayor Jim Watson and police Chief Charles Bordeleau, makes the network unique in Canada, Rosenfeldt said.

From a victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective, it will mean that any place a person who has suffered due to crime initially turns can connect them with the most applicable and helpful resource for their situation.

While an informal network of service providers tried to accomplish the same connections in the past, the new network will provide a complete list of useful services available to victims that have been vetted by the network.

Providers in the network will also work together to

share information and collaborate on new or improved victims services.

While other areas have attempted to establish similar networks, the networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cochairwoman Sgt. Jill Skinner said Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program is a leader. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re aware, there are very few networks like this that are operating,â&#x20AC;?

Skinner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are committing as a city to be focused on victims.â&#x20AC;?

The mayor said he is pleased with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;dream teamâ&#x20AC;? the network has established over the course of two years of work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Victims of crime are dealing with so much â&#x20AC;Ś This will help them with their next stage

Laura Mueller

Ottawa co-chairs Sgt. Jill Skinner and Steve Sullivan of Ottawa Victim Services pose with the mission statement of the new collaborative initiative at Ottawa Police Service headquarters on June 11. of healing,â&#x20AC;? Watson said, adding he is proud of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

â&#x20AC;&#x153;sense of collaborationâ&#x20AC;? in setting up the network.

EMC news - When Sharon Rosenfeldtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six-year-old son was murdered in 1984 in British Columbia, there was no place for her to seek support in her community.

Thirty years later, Rosenfeldt said it was an emotional experience to witness the launch of a unique program to assist victims of crime in her new home of Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been very emotionally healing for us to know that victims of crime â&#x20AC;Ś they have places to go,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Rosenfeldt was thanked for her advocacy through the founding of Victims of Violence during the June 11 launch of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coordi-

nated Victims Assistance Network at police headquarters on Elgin Street.

The philosophy behind the network is described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;no wrong door,â&#x20AC;? meaning that no matter where victims turn, be it a doctor, teacher, law enforcement ofďŹ cer, service agency or employer, they are shown where to get access to services they need to recover and deal with their experience.

The initiative will create a formal network of service providers, including resources such as counselling, victim support groups and religious leaders, overseen by the Ottawa Police Service.

That oversight from the police, as well as the endorse-

Sheepish passenger takes ride to town

I

Mary Cook’s Memories

Audrey let a moan out of her that could be heard in Admaston. She said she would stay home if Father had any intention of cramming ‘that sheep into the car.’ its disapproval all along Raglan Street on the way to the drive shed where the drop-off was to be made. Emerson was laughing his head off. There was no sound or sign of Earl.

He was likely buried under Everett, who was trying to keep the sheep from jumping out the side of the car.

“Just like a bunch of gypsies,” Audrey said over and over again, praying we’d meet no one who would recognize us.

Father steered the car into R0011465766_0621

as far as it would go. Mother, ever practical, told Emerson to use his foot and push it out the plate-sized hole in the floor in the back of the car. And so, the “deposit” was made along the Northcote side road, which to others traveling the route wouldn’t find to be so unusual, since livestock could often be seen being herded up and down the road.

The real trouble started when we hit the outskirts of Renfrew. Father slowed down, the sheep was fast losing pa-

the drive shed at the end of Raglan Street, came to a halt and the sheep cleared the back door with one wild leap. The farmer who was there to collect it, pushed his straw hat to the back of his head and watched as the woolly animal tore around the lot like someone had filled it full of buckshot. My three brothers joined Father and the new owner and finally cornered it in one of the horse stalls.

Audrey refused to get out of the car, even if it meant her new shoes would have to wait for another Saturday. Mother picked up what she needed at Walker’s and at Ritza’s Drug Store collected her weekly copy of the Philadelphia Inquirer. The rest of the shopping for our supplies would have to wait.

As soon as we got back to the farm, my sister Audrey took a bucket, a towel and a bar of homemade soap and headed for the Bonnechere River. She insisted three days later she still smelled of sheep.

The brothers were given the job of washing out the back of the car. Mother, long after the daylight had gone, was heard to say almost in a whisper, “no one ever told me living on a farm would be like this.”

New York, where she had lived for 18 years, seemed very far away indeed.

EMC community - Lynn Barlow, a longtime organizer of the Great Glebe Garage Sale, has been named the new president of the Glebe Community Association at its annual general meeting on June 12.

The meeting saw local politicians and residents gather to hear updates on the past year and to mingle at the association’s first ever wine and cheese meeting. Only just sworn in, Barlow used the event to mingle with potential executive board members.

“I think it went really well,” Barlow said. “There were donated the food platters and I was able to recruit two new members.”

After a tumultuous year which included the ongoing fight over Lansdowne Park and chaos of the Bank Street reconstruction, Barlow said the focus will remain on being a strong liaison between the city, residents and businesses for the community.

“At the moment a few major issues have quieted down,” Barlow said, adding that concerns surrounding Lansdowne Park continue for area residents.

with him. “Before you know it, we’ll be in town and the sheep will be gone,” she said.

Everett said it had better be shoved in the only door in the back that had any hinges left on it. The other one, tied on with binder twine, would take too long to open. It looked to me like the sheep wasn’t too happy about being pushed into either door. Finally, Father took its hind legs, Everett its front and they heaved it into the back of the car, right on top of everyone’s feet.

Father slammed the door shut, which pushed the sheep further into the car, then Everett flew in behind it right over the door, Father jumped behind the steering wheel and we took off. Emerson said later, it was the fastest he ever saw Father push the old car.

There were no windows in the car, just little roll-up blinds and we were all grateful for the air that passed through from one side to the other as Father careened down the Northcote side road. From all appearances, we were just a

tience with its tight quarters and it stuck its head out the window and let a string of bleats go that had people turning in their tracks on the street to see where the noise was coming from.

This caused Audrey great embarrassment and she slid down as far as she could go in the seat, and when I turned around to look, all I could see was the big flat pink ribbon covering her black hair like a newspaper.

The sheep was still voicing

t didn’t take long for us to realize this was no ordinary trip into Renfrew for our Saturday supplies. I loved sitting in the back of the car where all the action was. Three brothers and my sister Audrey kept the place buzzing all the way into town for the 20 kilometres.

But that day Mother steered me into the front to sit between her and Father. But Father and Everett were yet to appear. I figured they were in the barn checking on the livestock. Then we saw them, half dragging, half pushing a full-grown sheep across the barnyard.

Audrey let a moan out of her that could be heard in Admaston and said she would stay home if Father had any intention of cramming “that sheep into the car.” Mother reminded her she was to pick out a new pair of shoes that day at Scott’s Shoe Store, so she had little choice.

Emerson said he could always hang on to the running board outside the car if need be. It wouldn’t be the first time he tried the stunt, but that day it looked more and more like a possible solution.

Mother said Father had to take the sheep into town where it would be turned over to a farmer from the Braeside area, who had made a deal

f all the recipes I’ve made in the bread machine, this is without a doubt our favourite for everyday eating.

From the comments I’ve received, it’s also a favourite with a lot of readers. Recently I was asked to repeat it for those who may have missed it.

The secret to this loaf’s success is cottage cheese. The recipe doesn’t call for much, just 1/3 of a cup, but it makes all the difference in the texture and freshness of the bread.

This loaf is moist and stays fresh, keeping well for three or four days. It’s perfect for making either sandwiches or toast.

The basic recipe uses a combination of all purpose white flour and whole wheat flour. This gives the loaf more body than white bread without the heaviness of 100 per cent wholewheat. The sunflower seeds are optional. With or without them, this bread is delicious.

I’ve also included a variation for making this as Cinnamon Raisin Bread.

Both recipes make a 681 gram (1.5 pound) loaf.

EMC news - Following on the heels its successful Together for Vanier initiative, Crime Prevention Ottawa has started taking steps towards its next Ottawa neighbourhood project.

Where the organization, dedicated to reducing crime and empowering neighbourhood residents, sees its role at the moment uncertain, but executive director Nancy Worsfold said using results from a recent survey, interviews with communities and stakeholders, it hopes to rededicate itself very soon.

“What we are currently in the strategic planning process,” Worsfold said. “We are holding focus groups with the community, there will be a retreat in September with the board and we will focus on our goals of youth gang prevention, violence against women prevention and crime reduction in Ottawa.”

A web-based survey, which looked at crime, safety concerns and neighbourhood needs, closed on June 11.

Meetings with the University of Ottawa and informant interviews are also taking place to help guide the organization.

The board member retreat this fall will review all this information and a decision will be formulated.

Meanwhile, Crime Prevention Ottawa will not be resting on its laurels until the fall. The organization has just released a new and improved neighbourhood tool kit which residents can access online.

The tool kit provides information and resources for residents to enable them to make neighbourhoods a better place to live.

“It has twice as much material and more intuitive architecture,” Worsfold said. “It is a great deal of information categorized of issues and how to address those issues and is aimed at community leaders.”

Five years ago, Crime Prevention Ottawa arrived in Vanier to help a community that was struggling with drugs, crime and prostitution.

The result of its initial efforts was the formation of the Together for Vanier initiative.

From that initiative, the Vanier Community Association and the Vanier Beautification committee were started.

Residents embraced the goals and Worsfold is proud of what has been accomplished.

“They have become leaders and that is just fabulous,” Worsfold said.

Lucie Marleau, co-chairwoman of the Vanier Beautification committee, moved to Ottawa seven years ago and at the time, Vanier was a very different place. Marleau suffered from noisy, abusive neighbours and constant crime happening only steps away from her home. She said she felt lost until CPO held a meeting in Vanier.

“It was at this meeting that

I found out that I was one of many, many residents who had serious concerns with absentee landlords, personal safety, drugs, prostitution, crime and the overall unappealing appearance of our parks and public spaces,” Marleau said.

“Crime Prevention Ottawa gave me, and others, the confidence to get involved. I took their motto to heart (and) I became the change I wanted to see in my community.”

Crime Prevention Ottawa’s last strategic plan was designed for three years in 2009 and was based on funding and community needs.

The neighbourhood tool kit and other resources can be found on the organization’s website at www.crimepreventionottawa.ca. The toolkit also features inspiring stories of Ottawa residents, much like that of Vanier’s. Crime Prevention Ottawa also offers neighbourhood toolkit presentations by email request to cpo@ottawa.ca.

Ontario seeks to improve renal care By 2015, the plan seeks to guide improvements in: • Early detection and prevention through appropriate screening, improved partnerships between primary and specialty care providers and the utilization of effective clinical tools.

• Appropriate body access for perito-

neal dialysis and hemodialysis.

• CKD infrastructure, which includes the needs for equipment.

New transit fares delayed Presto glitches mean fares could stay the same until August Laura Mueller

of the program for July 1 will get Presto cards and participate in the “friends and family” Presto pilot project, which includes a group of people who are trying out the Presto system in advance of the full launch as OC Transpo works on the technical glitches.

City council approved the revised fares as a temporary measure until Presto is ready to launch.

Metrolinx, the provincially managed agency that oversees the Presto project, said there are technical glitches in the new generation of software Ottawa’s Presto card readers use, and the agency is working to fix the errors.

laura.mueller@metroland.com

DELAY COSTS

The delays will cost OC Transpo $100,000 per month, money the city insists that Metrolinx must pay.

While there is a verbal agreement between the city and Metrolinx to that effect, nothing has been put in writing.

“Metrolinx understands that they have a responsibility to cover the costs that we

EMC news - OC Transpo fares that were supposed to rise will stay the same after July 1 due to the delay in the Presto smart card system.

The new fare schedule will make the Presto card’s “epurse” cash value function the cheapest way to pay per trip, but the city announced on June 7 that technical glitches in the Presto system will delay its launch until later this summer.

No firm date for the rollout has been set.

Instead of going up to $3 per ride for an adult or student using bus tickets, fares will remain at $2.60 per trip using tickets after July 1. Cash trips will go up slightly, from $3.25 to $3.30 a trip.

Fares for seniors aged 65 and up will be $2 per trip and a child fare will go down slightly to $1.50 cash or one ticket ($1.30).

The EcoPass is being phased out as part of Presto’s implementation, but that too is on hold until the bugs in the new system can be worked out. The 600 former EcoPass customers who already dropped out

Ontario’s education system in danger of collapse warns PC education critic Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

SUMMER IN OTTAWA SOUTH With another school year drawing to a close, summertime in Ottawa gives us a great opportunity to visit friends and neighbours, exercise outdoors and participate in the many festivals and cultural celebrations happening in Our Nation’s Capital. For our students, I would like to congratulate you on completing another year of school, and I hope the past school year brought new learning and friendships.

Community centres all over our city provide summer camps for kids, public swimming pools, playing fields, and splash pads for the younger ones. In Ottawa South, our newly expanded community centres are better serving families in the Hunt Club/ Riverside, Heatherington, and Greenboro neighbourhoods. I encourage you and your family to take advantage of the activities and good times these centres offer throughout the summer months.

The Alta Vista corridor bike path runs from Conroy and Walkley Roads to the hospital complex on Smyth Road. This is a recent addition to the many bike paths and recreational trails we have in Ottawa South, for those commuting to work, or just looking to get some fresh air.

For more information on our community centres and recreational paths, please visit Ottawa.ca or call 311.

EMC news - Conservative education critic Lisa MacLeod was in Orleans on June 15 to discuss the creation of educational policy white papers with media.

She was joined by OttawaOrleans provincial Conservative candidate Andrew Lister and Orleans-Cumberland public board trustee John Shea “Our core public services could collapse,” MacLeod said, if the education system remains as is.

She cited the Liberals rejecting changes recommended in the Drummond Report as a starting point.

“We’re hearing there need to be improvements,” MacLeod said, citing a lack of accountability.

MacLeod said earlier in the day she had met with school boards, police and representatives from Algonquin College during the Ottawa stop on her 12-city tour.

The public consultations are part of a policy writing process, to result in the Conservatives releasing several white papers on education.

“It’s been wonderful to hear,” she said of the input.

MacLeod said the papers should be released in the fall, unless an election is called.

Brier Dodge

Ottawa-Orleans provincial Conservative candidate Andrew Lister, Nepean-Carleton MP and Conservative education critic Lisa MacLeod and Orleans-Cumberland public board trustee John Shea stand in front of the client services centre in Orleans on June 15. The trio were in Orleans to discuss the creation of educational policy papers.

She noted that the papers will not be party platform.

“After health care, education is the next priority in OttawaOrleans,” said Lister. “There are lots of great ideas that haven’t been heard.”

“Everyone has a stake in it,” said Shea. “No one is exempt.”

Some of the feedback MacLeod said she heard in Ottawa included the presence of cyberbullying, and concern about

keeping schools open in areas of declining enrollment, and built in areas of “exploding enrollment” she said.

One of the items they discussed included building more community schools, similar to the attachment of John McCrae Secondary School and Walter Baker Sports Centre in Nepean, or Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School and the Ray Friel Recreation Complex in Orleans.

“It’s a great way to leverage assets,” MacLeod said.

“There’s a lot of common sense and lots of willing and able partners.”

“It’s like comparing apples to oranges,” MacLeod said when asked education was in a better state when the Conservatives were in power. “That’s not the point.

The point is looking forward.”

Crime Prevention Ottawa looks to the future

War of 1812 exhibit launches at War Museum

Michelle Nash

EMC news - Following on the heels its successful Together for Vanier initiative, Crime Prevention Ottawa has started taking steps towards its next Ottawa neighbourhood project.

Where the organization, dedicated to reducing crime and empowering neighbourhood residents, sees its role at the moment uncertain, but executive director Nancy Worsfold said using results from a recent survey, interviews with communities and stakeholders, it hopes to rededicate itself very soon.

“What we are currently in the strategic planning process,” Worsfold said. “We are holding focus groups with the community, there will be a retreat in September with the board and we will focus on our goals of youth gang prevention, violence against women prevention and crime reduction in Ottawa.”

A web-based survey, which looked at crime, safety concerns and neighbourhood needs, closed on June 11.

Meetings with the University of Ottawa and informant interviews are also taking place to help guide the organization.

Lucie Marleau, co-chairwoman of the Vanier Beautification committee, moved to Ottawa seven years ago and at the time, Vanier was a very different place. Marleau suffered from noisy, abusive neighbours and constant crime happening only steps away from her home. She said she felt lost until CPO held a meeting in Vanier.

“It was at this meeting that I found out that I was one of many, many residents who had serious concerns with absentee landlords, personal safety, drugs, prostitution, crime and the overall unappealing appearance of our parks and public spaces,” Marleau said.

“Crime Prevention Ottawa gave me, and others, the confidence to get involved. I took their motto to heart (and) I became the change I wanted to see in my community.”

Crime Prevention Ottawa’s last strategic plan was designed for three years in 2009 and was based on funding and community needs.

The neighbourhood tool kit and other resources can be found on the organization’s website at www.crimepreventionottawa.ca. The toolkit also features inspiring stories of Ottawa residents, much like that of Vanier’s.

Two Locations to better serve you 5

EMC news - As part of the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812, the Canadian War Museum wants visitors to discover four unique perspectives on the conflict, those of Canadians, Americans, Aboriginal peoples and the British.

Visitors to the museum will now know a bit more about those perspectives since the Canadian War Museum launched its 1812 exhibit, which runs until January.

“The War of 1812 was one of the pivotal moments in Canada’s journey from colony to country,” said Mark O’Neill, president and CEO of the Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation. “It’s one of the most ambitious projects undertaken by the War Museum.”

The museum will highlight the four different perspectives through artifacts and its exhibition Faces of 1812, which will complement the overall 1812 exhibit and will feature portraits from Library and Archives Canada’s collection that highlights the human side of the war.

“This collaboration with the Canadian War Museum offers visitors an unexpected encounter with works of art from (the Library and Archives Canada) national portrait collection,” said Daniel J. Caron, deputy head and librarian and archivist of Canada in a statement.

“It will also be a great opportunity to deepen our understanding about our history.”

O’Neill said this exhibit won’t focus on one individual battle or just recognize two sides.

“This provides a deep insight into the causes of war,” he said. “It also underlines how profoundly Canada’s development has been shaped by armed conflict.”

James Moore, minister of Canadian heritage and official languages, also spoke about how studying the past is important to understanding today.

“Canada’s history is an incredibly rich story to be told,” Moore said. “The telling of our stories and the understanding of our past helps us understand where we stand today.”

He added that the War of 1812 paved the way for Confederation and it’s important for people to appreciate the collective perspectives on the war.

The exhibit will include 130 artifacts that come from the Canadian War Museum and other Canadian, American and British institutions – including Library and Archives Canada, the Smithsonian Institute, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Library of Congress, the British Museum and the Royal Armouries.

For more information on the exhibit or on the museum, visit the Canadian War Museum’s website at warmuseum.ca.

fall will review all this information and a decision will be formulated.

Meanwhile, Crime Prevention Ottawa will not be resting on its laurels until the fall. The organization has just released a new and improved neighbourhood tool kit which residents can access online. The tool kit provides information and resources for residents to enable them to make neighbourhoods a better place to live.

“It has twice as much material and more intuitive architecture,” Worsfold said. “It is a great deal of information categorized of issues and how to address those issues and is aimed at community leaders.”

Five years ago, Crime Prevention Ottawa arrived in Vanier to help a community that was struggling with drugs, crime and prostitution. The result of its initial efforts was the formation of the Together for Vanier initiative.

From that initiative, the Vanier Community Association and the Vanier Beautification committee were started. Residents embraced the goals and Worsfold is proud of what has been accomplished.

“They have become leaders and that is just fabulous,” Worsfold said.

The Featherstone Flames celebrate after winning the Ottawa Carleton Elementary Athletics Association championship held at Shefford Park in Beacon Hill on May 31.

Fallen, but not forgotten As we approach the Canada Day weekend and reflect on our great nation, it is important that we also remember those who fought and died to ensure our freedom. From World War I to our most recent involvement in Afghanistan, many have lost their lives fighting for peace from communities all across the country.

A couple years ago, it came to my attention that several soldiers who fought and died in WWI are not remembered on a local cenotaph in my riding.

Working with local historian, Coreen AtkinsSheldrick, my office has been able to confirm that there are at least four names of soldiers from the Osgoode Township whose names are missing from the local cenotaph in Metcalfe. Without Coreen’s extensive research, none of this of this would have been discovered.

To correct this wrong, I recently launched the Fallen, but not forgotten initiative. This initiative will raise the funds necessary to add these missing names to the cenotaph to ensure that no one is forgotten. We cannot properly remember these soldiers as long as their names are invisible. They died for Canada and they must be remembered by Canada.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

Mom, can we go to another one?

One of the missing names is Private E. Thomas Henry Poole, who enlisted on June 19, 1916 as a local farmer from Vernon. He served his country with honour for over two years, but suffered from severe gunshot wounds at the end of August 1918. He only survived one more week before succumbing to his injuries.

With such service and dedication to our country, soldiers like Private Poole should be given the honour of being remembered on their local community cenotaph. Working with Coreen Atkins-Sheldrick, and Rob Brewster from the Osgoode Village Community Association, I am going to ensure that this happens. An application will be submitted to Veterans’ Affairs Canada next week that will provide matching funds to money raised by the community. Already, Scotiabank has generously donated $2000 to this cause to kick start the fundraising.

Communities rally to oppose bridge options Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Residents have one month left to voice their concerns about the preferred options for the proposed eastend interprovincial bridge.

It has been a year since the National Capital Commission awarded Roche-Genivar the environmental assessment contract to determine which of the three east-end corridors, Kettle Island, Lower Duck Island and McLaurin Bay, would have the least impact on area residents.

The final public open house, held on June 12 at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans drew hundreds of interested residents.

“It is extremely important for residents to comment - it is why we are here - and the community groups work with us,” said Christopher Gordon, project manager for RocheGenivar. “But to ensure we haven’t missed anything, we need to get the general public out. The more we understand, the better we are able to present the best option.”

No choice, according to Orleans resident Heather Burke, is the right choice.

“Even if they pick Kettle Island, I am still going to be sad they are building a bridge,” she said.

Burke is part of Common Sense Crossings, a group created in 2009 to oppose a bridge through the greenbelt.

The proposed bridge has seen community groups in each of the designated corridors become dedicated participants in the consultation process, many voicing opposition to the bridge in their community and questioning the assessment process from the start. Christophe Credico, head

of the Manor Park Community Association bridge committee, is one of those who has long engaged in the consultation process.

“There are fundamental flaws in the weighting process which chose these three corridors in the first place,” Credico said. “It has pitted communities against each other and does not even consider east to west city traffic.”

Now it has come down to the final open house before the technically preferred corridor will be announced in the fall.

Roche-Genivar and the NCC hosted the open house for residents to play a part in tweaking the alignments.

While the process has seen different community interests pitted against one another, the Manor Park Community Association and Rockcliffe Park Residents Association have sought to work together.

For the past 10 months Credico and Rockcliffe resident Lori Assheton-Smith have promoted the idea of smart growth and sought to build support for the idea of no new interprovincial bridge altogether.

That unity was seen at the open house, which saw at least seven community groups representing residents from all three corridors rally together with Ottawa-Orleans MPP Phil McNeely, who recently called for a full stop to the project, outside Shenkman against the process.

“We are all trying to say none of these options are good,” Burke said. “Even though we all got involved because of our own neighbourhoods, we have all found common ground.”

The open house was one of the most attended consulta-

“Make our comments known,” Credico said to the crowd. “It is the only way we can make what we are doing here effective.”

And according to the consultants, comments are what

count.

“At the end of the day we are undertaking a process and the comments and concerns about the overall need, is not a part of our process,” Gordon said.

“Our mandate is to understand where the bridge will go.”

One of those in support of

that mandate is Orleans Coun.

Bob Monette.

“Let’s keep on with the study, identify the link and then go from there and address our other priorities,” Monette said.

Monette, who is in favour of a bridge at Kettle Island, said

at the end of the day, he hopes the decision is made properly with all the concerns counted for.

The final day for residents to comment is July 5, with the final technically preferred corridor being announced in the fall.

Hobbs hopes to bring Kitchissippi artists together Kristy Strauss

kristy.strauss@metroland.com

PRE-SEASON REGISTRATION IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR OUR 2012-2013 SEASON

We offer programs for youth from 5-17 years of age. Pre-season registration discounts are in effect until July 1, 2012. Register now for sessions that begin in September 2012.

EMC entertainment - Katherine Hobbs has always had a soft spot for the arts.

Focusing on the her artistic constituents is important to her, the Kitchissippi Ward councillor said, which is why she’s hosting her first community art party at Thyme and Again on June 21.

While it’s by invitation only, Hobbs hopes to expand the party and maybe make it an annual event.

“When I first ran for election, one of the reasons I did that was because I was part of a writing group and I was interested in promoting the arts,” said Hobbs. “(By) making sure artists who are an economic low in our community are highlighted, have a voice at city hall, we can make changes to better suit our artists. So this is our first attempt.”

She would have liked to have launched the event last year, but it was a hectic first year for the rookie councillor.

This year, Hobbs wanted to renew her focus on the original goals she had for the arts community when she ran in the 2010 election. She said having a get-together with the community’s artists will be a good way to recognize what artists need, want, and how the

“We’ll have a fun party, we’ll focus on the young artists, let them meet more established artists and network,” Hobbs said.

As part of the evening, she said artists who were invited this year will hear from the manager of arts and culture for the city, who will let artists know what programs the city offers.

Plus, Hobbs plans to make a special announcement she said would benefit artists in Kitchissippi Ward.

Her efforts aren’t just about artists in her ward, however.

Hobbs said she would like to see artists across the city be given a helping hand.

“I just really feel that artists are not going as well as they should be doing,” Hobbs said. “But there are a lot of municipal, provincial and federal things we can do. And I’d like to lead that charge from a municipal aspect.”

Since the party is taking place in a more intimate setting at Thyme and Again on Wellington Street West, Hobbs said there were only about 50 artists invited, but her office will look at making it a bigger, annual event in the future.

“We will definitely consider doing something major (in the next few years),” Hobbs said.

“I’m just really excited about being around all these wonderfully talented people.”

Friends of Lansdowne won’t seek appeal Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The Friends of Lansdowne’s legal battle with the city is over.

The citizen group announced on the morning of June 14 that it would not appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada in a bid to replace the Lansdowne redevelopment deal with one chosen through a new competitive bidding process.

Friends of Lansdowne member Doug Ward delivered the news in front of the Horticulture Building at Lansdowne Park. He said that some Friends of Lansdowne won’t be happy with the decision, but the choice was “overwhelmingly” supported amongst the decision makers in the group.

Although the group had legal advice that it had a chance of success at the Supreme Court, and many people wanted the Friends to pursue a case against solesource procurement at that level, the fact that a panel of Ontario Court of Appeal judges voted 3-0 against the Friends during its last appeal dissuaded the group from further legal action Ward said.

The resources available to the group are also limited and probably better used towards related causes, Ward

said.

The legal challenge cost about $600,000 in lawyers’ bills, about half of which has been paid through fundraising and donations, Ward said, adding that the decision not to appeal was not purely financial.

“We move forward. While our legal case was active, we could not challenge the city on other fronts,” he said.

“This is no longer the case.

We want to assure our supporters that we will continue to work for them.”

The group will put its efforts into scrutinizing “every prism” of the Lansdowne “bad deal” as it moves forward, Ward said.

The group also wants to connect with other organizations in the city to “engage in a wider civic dialogue to promote greater integrity in city decision-making,” as well as work on changes to the Ontario Municipal Act to strengthen procurement laws.

Mayor Jim Watson issued a statement minutes after the Friends made their announcement.

“This is an important moment in our city’s history as it removes a significant legal hurdle which could have further delayed the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park,” he said in the statement. “It

also provides greater certainty to our residents that the city can now proceed with the redevelopment of Lansdowne.”

Lansdowne Conservancy There is still one outstanding legal quandary that could trip up the park redevelopment: the Lansdowne Conservancy, an organization that proposed an alternate redevelopment plan for Lansdowne, has requested an appeal to the provincial court of appeal.

In March, the Divisional Court of Ontario dismissed the Conservancy’s legal action by ruling it was an abuse of process and awarding the city $10,000 in legal costs from the Conservancy’s founder, John Martin.

Martin said the Ontario Court of Appeal will likely make a decision on whether to hear the appeal in July.

City spokeman Michael Fitzpatrick said the court’s decision isn’t likely to be made before the end of July or early August, but it could “take some time” as it is completely up to the court’s discretion.

Ward was quick to point out that the Friends of Lansdowne group isn’t throwing its support behind the Lansdowne Conservancy proposal.

Rather, the Friends want-

Charlie is an unaltered male, tan Chinchilla who is about five years old. He was brought to the shelter as a stray on May 30 and is now available for adoption. Chinchillas’ soft fur, lack of odour and clean habits are a few reasons why they make great pets. They keep their soft fur clean by taking a dust bath two or three times per week, which is fun to watch! Chinchillas are very affectionate and offer lots of entertainment as pets. They need a large cage and lots of chew toys and healthy snacks. Chinchillas overheat easily, and should be kept in a cool environment. Nocturnal by nature, chinchillas are most active in the evening but can adapt to daytime activity. Chinchillas raised together can live together peacefully in same gender pairs. With regular, gentle handling, they will bond strongly with their pet parents. Charlie would love a home where he will be handled gently. Chinchillas like to be scooped up in both hands and held snugly against your body so they feel safe and secure.

Tali is a spayed female, black and white Great Pyrenees and Australian Shepherd mix. She is about 10 months old and was brought to the shelter as a stray on May 18. Talis is a large breed with a beautiful black and white ticked coat. She has a gentle and soft disposition with children and would love a home with children five years and older because of her size. Tali gets along well with other dogs, and would love to have friends to socialize with and help her come out of her shell. She was well behaved with the cats in the home of the people who found her, as well.

Tali needs owners who will take her for daily walks. She’d rather not live in a bubble. She needs owners who will expose her to new places, things and people so she can become a more confident, well rounded dog.

Summer Safety for PetS

Every year during the summer months, the OHS Rescue and Investigation Services department receives hundreds of complaints relating to animals and hot weather. Dogs left unattended in parked cars top the list, followed closely by dogs left outside in the sun without water or shelter from the sun.

Dogs do not have the ability to sweat, therefore if they are left for even a short period of time in a car (windows open or not), their lives could be in danger. With their body temperature normally at 39 degrees Celsius, a dog can only endure temperatures barely over 40 degrees Celsius for a very short time before they suffer from heat-stress, irreparable brain damage or death.

Please call the OHS emergency line at 613-725-1532 if you see a dog in a car on a hot day.

Here are a few other tips to keep your companion animals safe this

summer: • If your pet spends lots of time outdoors, make sure there is adequate shelter for protection from the sun/heat. Outside kennels need to be well ventilated and situated in shaded areas. Clean, fresh water must be accessible at all times.

• On hotter days, monitor your pets’ activity and be careful not to over exert them. Watch for signs of heat stress, excessive panting, disorientation, staring or anxious expression and weakness. Bring your pet to a cool area, gradually lower your pet’s temperature by immersing his or her paws in cold water or hosing him or her down and call your veterinarian immediately.

• When the heat and humidity rise, be especially careful with shortnosed dogs (pugs, bull-dogs, etc.) and older animals. Exercise your pets in the early morning or late

0621.R0011459096.

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

evening to avoid the midday heat.

• In summer, asphalt can burn your pet’s paws – keep to the concrete sidewalk or grass.

• Shaving a hairy pet for the summer may seem like a good idea, but they can actually get sunburned.

Shave your pet at the beginning of the summer before it gets too hot.

• In summer, mosquitoes are out in full force. Heartworm prevention medication is recommended and available. See your veterinarian for details.

• Flea and tick prevention is important. See your veterinarian for more information.

• When you take your dog out for exercise, bring a portable water container for the both of you.

• Water should be refreshed or exchanged often, and the bowl should be kept in a cool shaded area.

Eve

Hello there! My name is Eve and my 3rd birthday is coming up in August.

I’m hoping I get to celebrate in style and go camping, I do love a good canoe ride. I came to live in Ottawa from a shelter and I love it here! Most days you’ll find me at the dog parks, playing with my buddies or going for a 5km run with my owners. I almost always have a Chuckit ball in my mouth. I do share my ball with others but mostly, I love it when my owners throw the ball for me to chase. My favourite playmates are my doggie-cousins Maggie, Gertie, Molly, Kayla and Jolie; I can’t wait to see them soon!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Expect to expend a little energy this week to get the job done right, Aries. Leaving it up to others is not the best way to go in this instance. Step up.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Don’t expect this week to go smoothly, Libra. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it will go badly. It’s just full of distractions and interruptions.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, focus on the big picture or nothing will get accomplished. It’s too easy to get lost in all of the little details. Follow through on the task at hand.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may be feeling sensual and romantic for the next few days. It could be because of all of the positive attention you have been receiving lately.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, someone will catch your ear and it will only serve to confuse you. You won’t know what to make of it but don’t get worried. It will all begin to make sense once a few pieces fall into place.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 You may feel happy when a friend or family member comes over to visit today, Sagittarius. You have been waiting for some company for quite a while. Enjoy the visit.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Lots of people need your help, Cancer. Focus all of your energy on helping others for the time being. You will feel good about your efforts and the good karma that results from them.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you need to figure out how to turn all of your great ideas into workable projects -- especially ones that can make you some money. Get started on a plan.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Change will be all around you, Virgo. While you’re not overly excited about it, you realize change is essential to growing in your life and career. New work arrangements need to be made.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, your mind will be all over the place this week unless you find someone to help you get focused. Think of it as having a babysitter who can call you out if you start to stray.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you will be amazed at the results when you finally set your mind to something. Stick with what you’re doing and enjoy the ride.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, help around the house or at the office this week and the work will benefit you and all of the other people with whom you interact.

Proposed Official Plan Amendment Natural Heritage System, Kizell Wetland, Lester Road Wetland Complex and Cardinal Creek Karst For your information, the City of Ottawa is considering modifications to the Official Plan.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

SUBJECT LANDS, PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSALS 1) City Wide: The purpose of this amendment is to include a set of Natural Heritage System overlays in the Official Plan. The proposed constraints maps merge the already designated natural heritage system features with other features (significant woodlands, significant valleylands, life science areas of natural and scientific interest, significant wildlife habitat in the form of escarpments).

2) The purpose is to designate the Kizell Wetland (located within the urban portion of the South March Highlands, straddling Goulbourn Forced Road) and Lester Road Wetland Complex (located north and east of the Ottawa International Airport) as ‘Significant Wetlands’ in the Official Plan. Significant Wetlands are subject to specific Official Plan policies in order to protect these sensitive areas and support their natural functions.

3) The purpose of the third amendment is to convert the Cardinal Creek karst (south side of Watters Road, east of Everlasting Crescent and west of the Urban Boundary) currently identified as a ‘Landform Feature’ to an ‘Earth Science Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI)’. With this amendment, development of this site or land within 50 metres of the feature will be subject to specific Official Plan policies established to protect the educational, scientific and landscape value of the feature.
