EMC news – Westboro residents had the opportunity to learn more about a proposed development for a site across Richmond Road from the Real Canadian Superstore at a public forum held on Jan. 11. The building, which would be at 175 Richmond Rd., would be nine storeys tall at its highest point as proposed, with townhouses varying in height attached at the back. Along the Richmond Road frontage, there would also be commercial space. Gary Ludington of the Westboro Community Association said one of the biggest concerns that came out of the meeting was traffic issues, with 241 units being proposed as part of the development. “The traffic engineers said there was no impact, which was disputed by a number of people,” said Ludington. “The general consensus was there was a concern. We already have failing intersections on Richmond and Wellington, and we’re beyond the predicted population of 2021. The explosion of Richmond Road has brought us traffic issues.” Another development for the burgeoning area would mean more failing intersections on Richmond Road, Ludington said. Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs was also at the meeting and said residents brought up very understandable concerns, including those regarding traffic. See SPACE on page 6

EMC news – Shahla Khan Salter is a lawyer, and mother of three children. She’s also an active leader in raising the profiles of progressive Muslims, and helps give a voice to those she feels aren’t covered by the mainstream media. She’ll also be one of the speakers at an upcoming presentation, titled Progressive Muslim Identities: Personal Stories from the U.S. and Canada, and book launch at the Ottawa Public Library’s main branch on Jan. 30. “Our perception of Islam is one of peace and acceptance,” said Khan Salter. “Women can be imams in our community, and they can lead prayer. We
do not marginalize our queer brothers and sisters – these are all things that are fundamental in our faith and Allah loves us all regardless of our sexual orientation. It’s an important voice that should be heard.” As part of the organization’s event at the library, participants can come and listen to progressive Muslims’ stories from the United States and Canada. The speakers will include Muslim people of different races, sexual orientations, and speakers’ stories about being progressive Muslim. The book will also have personal stories written by progressive Muslims. “Really, it represents the diversity of thought and various voices in the Muslim commu-
nity,” Khan Salter said. The audience will also be able to ask questions after the speakers are finished telling their stories, she said, and hopes to get a dialogue going. “If people have questions about Muslims and Islam, we’d love to answer them,” she said. Nelly Beylouni-Zamat, the Ottawa Public Library’s manager of diversity and accessibility services, said it’s important that the library offer this type of programming. “The mission of the library is to open up dialogues and discussions, and hopefully people will go back with new ideas and understanding of what’s happening in a certain group of people,” she said. “It’s just one way to open up
people’s minds.” Khan Salter said the organization has had a warm reception from people in Ottawa, and group members often speak out in support of human rights issues. The group also marched in the 2010 Gay Pride Parade, and she said they received a lot of support then. “What we’d love to see is more people know that we’re out there,” Khan Salter said. Everyone is welcome to the event which takes place at the library’s main branch on Jan. 30 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. For more information on Muslims for Progressive Values Canada, visit: www. mpvottawa.com/ .

Rideau Canal skateway opens for 42nd season Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news – The first section of the Rideau Canal skateway was opened for skaters on Sunday, Jan. 15, officially launching the 42nd season of the world’s largest skating rink. The National Capital Commission has been flooding the ice surface for the past two weeks, preparing to open the canal. The first section to
open is a 2.2 kilometre portion between the Bank Street Bridge and Pretoria Avenue Bridge. Michelle Comeau, NCC senior vice president of environment, capital lands and parks, officially raised the green flag near Fifth Avenue with the help of Papa Ice Hog, the Winterlude mascot. “The NCC skateway team have used their expertise to nudge nature along and to allow today’s launch of the sea-
son,” said Comeau. The NCC ice safety committee approved the opening of the 2.2-kilometre section as the area’s ice surface had reached the appropriate thickness for skating conditions. Skaters will be able to access this section of the skateway at numerous entry points along the Canal between Bank Street and Pretoria Avenue. The Rideau Canal skateway was first opened to public

No infections linked to Farazli clinic: report kristy.wallace@metroland.com
EMC news - An interim report issued by Ottawa Public Health has indicated that to date, there have been no identified links between hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV and a Carling Avenue clinic. “This interim report highlights the outstanding work of the staff at Ottawa Public Health and throughout the city in supporting, providing advice and assisting affected patients over the past few months,” said Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes, chairwoman of the Ottawa Board of Health, in a release. “It also recommends changes at the provincial level that would mitigate or avoid future challenges of the type faced here.” In October, Ottawa Public Health officials announced that an endoscopic clinic,
operated by Dr. Christiane Farazli at 1081 Carling Ave., was identified as the clinic that might have placed about 6,800 people at risk of HIV or hepatitis infection over the last 10 years due to a failure to observe required cleaning procedures. In November, several of Farazli’s patients had tested positive for hepatitis C, but Dr. Isra Levy, the city’s chief medical officer of health, said in an email to the mayor, council and the Ottawa Board of Health, that positive results were to be expected. He also said positive results don’t mean the infections were linked to Farazli’s clinic. “Even though the estimated risk of infection to individuals having received an endoscopy at that clinic is very low, the diseases in question are not rare,” Levy had said. “They are
Wellington Village to host info session for design plan Kristy Wallace
kristy.wallace@metroland.com
EMC news – Katie Paris and her fellow members of the Wellington Village Community Association want residents to learn more about community design plans and why they’re important. “Most people are living busy lives, and they’re not informed,” said Paris, head of the association, which will be hosting a public forum on Jan. 19 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. to outline their particular design plan and what it means for the community. “There’s not a widespread knowledge of what the CDP says,” Paris said. “The community association has a role in informing the community.” The Wellington West Community Design Plan was approved by the city’s planning committee at a meeting on April 26, 2011. The design plan is a document that guides any future development happening in that community. Paris said the forum will feature city staff members and Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs, who will talk about the city’s role when it comes to the CDP. As part of the Wellington West CDP, building restrictions are supposed to be in
place from Island Park Drive to Breezehill Avenue along the community’s main street. Sites that aren’t subject to the six-storey rule include 345 Carleton Ave., 1451 Wellington St. and 369 Island Park Dr. On these sites, a developer can use section 37 of the Planning Act which allows them to add more storeys in exchange for a community benefit. Paris said she hopes that the public forum will educate people on the CDP and why it is important. “It’s both educating our community members on the community design plan ... and what community members believe to be true and desired for our neighbourhood,” said Paris. “It’s a bit of a two-way education process that needs to happen.” The forum will take place at St. George’s Church, located at 415 Piccadilly Ave. Paris said that residents from outside Kitchissippi Ward are invited to attend the forum to learn more about what a community design plan is. However, she expects questions to come up related to Wellington West, especially recent potential developments that are proposed for the area.

known to be associated with a variety of common behaviours and risk factors unrelated to endoscopies. Ottawa Public Health anticipates it will identify a number of positive results during the look back study in which several thousand people are tested for the diseases.” The recent report provided an overview of Ottawa Public Health’s notification and response to the situation, and indicated public health was able to reach 90 per cent of potentially affected patients directly to alert them of the lapse. The report also stated the investigation is ongoing, and will include “additional testing for certain patients who volunteer and will assist in further examining whether there was any link between infections and the lapse.

Community leader Pigott dies at 87 Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
EMC news - Ottawa politician, businessperson and community builder Jean Pigott died on Jan. 10 at the age of 87. Pigott was born in 1924 and grew up to become president and chief executive of her family’s bakery business before becoming the Progressive Conservative member of Parliament for the now-defunct Ottawa-Carleton riding in 1976. She lost her seat in 1979, but continued as a PC candidate in the Ottawa area until 1984, when she was appointed as the first woman to chair the National Capital Commission. She was also the first woman to sit on Ontario Hydro board of directors, and sat on the board of the Canadian Tire Corporation. She was also chairwoman of the Ottawa Congress Centre board. She was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1995 for her commitment to leadership and community building. NCC chairman Russell Mills said Pigott had a “significant impact” on the organization during her time as chairwoman. “The NCC changed quite a lot during Jean’s time,” he said. “During her time, the NCC took over the maintenance of the official residences, Confederation Boulevard was constructed and for the

This is going to be a tremendous event for our city and I am incredibly proud of the hard work done by Eugene Melnyk, Cyril Leeder and everyone over at the Ottawa Senators organization for making this happen. I’m also proud of City Council for investing $200,000 to bring this one-of-a-kind event to Canada’s capital! All Star Weekend will bring $30 million of economic activity to our hotels, restaurants and shops. The game will be broadcast in over 150 countries and with over 400 accredited media members, our city will be given exposure as the world-class destination it is.
first time the NCC was given responsibility for programming activities and events to contribute to its mandate.” Pigott had a more subtle impact on the capital’s development as well. “She came up with the best
description of what our overall objective should be: to make the national capital the second home for every Canadian,” Mills said. “That’s a description we still use.” He added that Pigott was passionate about creating an 380684/0119
Hosting the All Star game is great in itself but what will make this event particularly special for us is that not one but FOUR Ottawa Senators will be in the starting lineup! Milan Michalek, Erik Karlsson, Jason Spezza, and Daniel Alfredsson were all voted into the starting lineup with the great support of Sens Army. I want to thank everyone for voting and getting their friends to vote so that these players can showcase the talent of our great team.

Hosting the All Star Game would not have been possible without the creation of the Ottawa Convention Centre. This beautiful facility in the heart of downtown has been a big boost to our City since it opened its doors last year thanks to a lot of hard work by former Mayor Jim Durrell, OCC President Pat Kelly and their dedicated team. And we are going to see a lot of more events of this nature thanks to the OCC, as well as other initiatives City Council is driving. For example, through the creation of a Special Events Office with Ottawa Tourism we are working to bring the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup to town and have already landed the 2012 JUNOS and the 2013 IIHF Women’s World Cup of Hockey.
WE ARE MOVING!
All Star Weekend will also mark the opening of the Rink of Dreams at City Hall, and I hope you and your family have a chance to come down and enjoy this gorgeous outdoor ice rink. So let’s celebrate Canada’s game right here in our nation’s capital and cheer on our four Ottawa Senators who are in the starting lineup, making our city proud!

accessible capital for all Canadians. “She always felt Canadian unity was a bit fragile, but she felt that building a strong, national capital could help deal with that.” The NCC board has not yet discussed how it will honour Pigott, although Mills said they will discuss creating a tribute at their upcoming board meeting. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson said Pigott has left a lasting legacy in the city. “Jean was an incredible leader in both the public and private sectors, and someone who could always be counted on to put the interests of her community and country first and foremost,” the mayor said in a statement. “In a day and age of an abundance of negativity, Jean was always a positive force for change in the nation’s capital.” He said her most notable contributions included building Confederation Boulevard and creating the old Ottawa Convention Centre. Pigott, born Jean Morrisson, was not the only member of her family to succeed in Ottawa. Her two younger sisters are also prominent Ottawa community members. Grete Hale is a local author who wrote her memoirs Baker’s Daughter: the Story of a Long, Rich and Very Canadian Life in early 2011, chronicling the siblings’ childhood as they grew up in the Ottawa Valley. Youngest sister Gay Cook is a celebrated food writer and columnist, publishing Mrs. Cook’s Kitchen, Basics and Beyond in 2000. River Coun. Maria McRae said she was very sad to hear her political mentor had passed away. Although McRae didn’t know much about Pigott before she took office in 2003, McRae was friends with Hale who told her Pigott had “commanded” to see her and offer advice about her new job. “The very first thing she told me, and I will never forget this, was no matter how hard the job is, no matter how many hours you work, always make your husband number one,” McRae recounted. “Politics can become all-time consuming sometimes. She made a point of telling me how she and (her husband) Arthur made time for each other in the midst of her career.” Former Ottawa mayor Jim Durrell also remembers Pigott’s “sage advice.” “If you had an issue or concern, you could sit down and she offered up very wise advice,” he said, noting she always encouraged people to be true to themselves. Durrell said he’ll miss her “infectious enthusiasm” and her ability to get things done. “Jean commanded a lot of respect, both from business people and politicians,” he said. “She was a person to be reckoned with, and I mean that very positively. She got things done. “She had great vision, great passion for Ottawa. It was a great pleasure to work with her, and she’ll be sadly missed.”

City to spend $21 million on new affordable housing laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news – The city – not the federal government – is in the best position to decide whether $26 million should be used on building new affordable housing, or maintaining and operating existing housing, according to the city’s planning committee. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley was successful in asking the committee to stand up to the federal and provincial governments’ rules for how new funding under the Investment in Affordable Housing for Ontario program should be spent. The City of Ottawa has been allocated $26 million over the next four years through IAH, which replaces the former Canada-Ontario Affordable Housing Program. But the new program puts limits on how much of that money can be spent on the cost of running and maintaining the city’s existing housing stock, so city staff recommended spending the majority of the money, $21.3 million, be spent on building or buying new affordable rental and supportive housing. That didn’t sit well with Hubley, who said the city needs more say over how it addresses the problem of the need for affordable housing. “We need to have that flexibility in the future,” said Hub-

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley feels the city needs more say in affordable housing issues.
ley. “The city needs the ability to move the money around in whatever best way to serve the people who need affordable housing.” But the city’s hands are tied, according to a staff report, because it can’t shift money around between capital building funds and operating costs once it makes a decision on how it plans to spend the money. According to the staff report, “New units will create new affordable, accessible, sustainable, long term rental housing infrastructure with a focus on households and individuals with the longest wait times, and those requiring supports or accessible units.” Spending the money on new
affordable housing should create more than 200 units within that four-year window, according to a report by city staff. The need for those new units outweighs the desire for more operating funds because Ottawa has very little unoccupied rental housing available; at a vacancy rate of 1.4 per cent, Ottawa has one of the lowest vacancy levels in the country. On top of that, rent increased by 3.7 per cent – more than the cost of living – between 2009 and 2010. The low vacancy rate is also a reason to avoid trying to invest too much money in rent supplements, which the city can give out to people to allow them to stay in private rental housing – usually, their current homes. Since there are fewer apartments available in Ottawa, the city is already seeing a slow uptake of the rental supplement program it introduced last year through its new, annual $14 million housing and homelessness program. Putting more money into that pot is a risk because if the funds aren’t doled out at the end of each year, the provincial and federal governments would take that money back. John Dickie of the Eastern Ontario Landlord Association said the group has long argued that government monies are better spent on subsidizing existing housing and argued that the city could put around $10
million of its $26 million into operating funds, particularly to help convert existing housing stock to meet changing needs (such as accessibility and larger families). “Why build when we can renovate and move the current stock to what the market needs?” Dickie asked the planning committee. But city staff said now is also a good time to take advantage of “steadily increasing” interest and capacity for developing affordable housing in Ottawa. According to the report, private and non-profit agencies have been coming to
the city requesting more than $125 million to help pay for new affordable housing developments they would like to pursue. That’s something Hubley said he could get behind. “I like the fact that you’re reaching out to partners so we’re not holding the bag ourselves on this,” he told city staff. First up will be the construction of 60 to 90 units of housing at 800 Montreal Rd., which the city bought for a dollar through the Surplus Federal Real Property for Homelessness Initiative.
The planning committee also approved the distribution of the rest of the IAH funds: $2.4 million for Ottawa Renovates Program, $1 million for the Homeownership Down Payment Assistance Program and $1.1 million for administrative and legal costs associated with administering the new program. The federal and provincial governments are providing about $480 million over four years to create affordable housing in the province through IAH. With files from Blair Edwards

“Traffic is always an issue,” said Hobbs, adding that height was also brought up since the site is zoned for seven storeys. She also said that another concern brought up was townhouses that would come close to homes on Clifton Road which is a residential street nestled between Richmond Road and Scott Street. However, she said the developer, Claridge Homes, is proposing landscaping and walls to help ensure privacy. “The building won’t be
right in their backyard,” said Hobbs, adding that shadowing
‘We’ve had good sessions so far, and a good one-on-one with the community. It was a good, solid meeting.’ COUN. KATHERINE HOBBS
was another concern for some residents and the developer was willing to help accom-
modate neighbours’ concerns. “There was a lot of respectful discourse from both sides.” Hobbs said she’s looking forward to continuing to work with both the developer and community. “I’m really very supportive of process that’s happened on this,” she said. “We’ve had good sessions so far, and a good one-on-one with the community. It was a good, solid meeting.” For more information, visit the city’s website at www. ottawa.ca or Hobbs’ website www.ourkitchissippi.ca .
Candle blamed for Westboro blaze that started in Christmas tree Staff
An unattended candle that had been burning too close to a real Christmas tree has been determined the cause of a fire that happened just after 2 a.m. on Jan. 15. A woman in her 60s woke up to heavy smoke and made her way outside. She suffered smoke inhalation and was treated by paramedics. She was transported to hospital, and is currently staying with
R0011248320-0119
a family member in Gatineau. The fire heavily damaged the home’s main floor and there was also damage to the second floor and roof. The fire had spread to the second floor and to the attic. Fire officials believe the fire started on the main floor near the basement stairwell of the two-story home. Total damages are estimated at $500,000.
Ottawa Fire Services are advising residents that real Christmas trees pose a real fire risk, and are likely too dry to still have in the home. Fire officials say that your Christmas tree should be removed from your home as soon as possible. Fire officials are also reminding residents to never leave candles unattended or near combustible materials and items.

ACORN Ottawa calls for cap on money transfer charges kristy.wallace@metroland.com

Kate Reeve, 13, is in the midst of organizing her second charity fashion show to benefit Roger’s House, scheduled for Jan. 22 at the Glebe Community Centre.
Fashion takes stage at teen’s CHEO benefit
EMC news - Michelle Walrond said she’s tired of paying high fees to send money to her family overseas. The Ottawa resident and ACORN Canada member was among those who turned up for a rally to protest high fees outside the Money Mart on the corner of Bronson and Gladstone Avenues on Jan. 10. “If you don’t use the remittance system, you don’t know,” said Walrond, who was one of roughly 20 members who came out on the cold day to protest. Some cars passing down
Bronson Avenue honked in support as the organization held signs and marched to try and gain attention to the issue. Walrond and the members of ACORN were calling on Western Union to cap their charges at five per cent. In addition to the rally, members from ACORN Canada are collecting signatures from across the country as part of a petition. If they reach 5,000 signatures, it will get sent to Western Union’s chief executive in Colorado. Western Union had yet to respond to a request for comment at press time.
Walrond said people who sent money to family overseas are struggling themselves, and are in a tough position because they have to send money to family who are also poor. “People are dying and they need money,” she said. She said she hoped that remittance fees would soon be capped at five per cent. According to ACORN Canada and ACORN International, the average remittance fee charged can be as high as 20 per cent.

EMC News -When Kate Reeve said she wanted to organize a charity fashion show for Roger’s House last year, her parents thought the idea was crazy. One year and one successful fashion show later, however, Reeve is at it again and this time she is hoping to raise even more money. The Grade 8 student is finding her second shot at organizing a fashion show has been a lot easier. She already had the contacts and understands the complexities of booking a space, recruiting volunteers and spreading the word. This year’s fashion show will take place on Jan. 22 at the Glebe Community Centre and is looking to raise about $17,000 for Roger’s House. “Yes, it is a fashion show, but we are all there for the kids and families at Roger’s House,” Reeve said. Last year, the show raised more than $8,700 in support for Roger’s House, a pediatric respite and palliative care home that offers to comfort and support to sick children and their families who are at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. All of the proceeds from the fashion show went directly to the charity. “This time it is a lot easier, I already had the contacts, people already know what to expect,” she said. “This time it is all about seeing how much more money we can raise.” Booking space and finding volunteers is one thing, but Reeve needed fashion designers to sign on as well. That’s where local fashion designer Amber Watkins came in, lending her creations and connections to both last year’s show and the upcoming event. She also helped Reeve find designers for the show. “I thought she was 25,” Watkins said of Reeve,” and it fazed me for like 30 seconds and then I was like, okay, let’s make this happen.” Tickets are available by calling 613-730-5074 or emailing fashionforfunds@gmail.com. Tickets are $10.00 for students, $20.00 for adults and they will also be sold at the door. The event runs from 1 to 2:30 p.m.

EDITORIAL
Housing fix hampered by red tape There may only be one goal when it comes to affordable housing, eliminating homelessness, but there are many paths to that solution. Affordable housing is easily one of the most complex files at city hall. Even a veteran councillor, Innes Ward’s Rainer Bloess, recently admitted to having a tenuous grasp on the file. When Mayor Jim Watson’s administration decided to pour $14 million into a new housing and homelessness strategy
last year, the money was divvied up into a dizzying array of projects – 15, to be exact. It’s a testament to the reality that individuals and families face housing insecurity for a host of reasons, and there are just as many ways to tackle those problems. That dilemma came up again at city hall recently. The federal and provincial governments are re-jigging their affordable housing funding into a new program, and Ottawa stands to get $26 million.
But the question was which pile to put the money in. Would it be operational costs, which could mean housing allowances, rent supplements and much-needed maintenance for existing affordable housing? Or would it be capital costs, which would allow the city to leverage the money into building new affordable housing that would ease some of the pressure on the short supply of housing and the long list of people waiting for
access to it? Ultimately, city staff recommended the latter and the planning committee agreed. Part of the thinking is that the city’s hands are really tied if it earmarked that money for operational costs. Funding from upper levels of government always comes with rules, and unfortunately for the city, the rules of the Investment in Affordable Housing Program limit the types of operational costs the money may be used for. We already know that Ot-
tawa Community Housing, the city’s largest provider of affordable housing, has a huge backlog of maintenance work it needs to undertake to ensure existing housing units are inhabitable. Perhaps if the provincial and federal governments left municipalities to make their own decisions, we might be in a better position to tackle each piece of the affordable housing pie. Leveraging the funding to find private or non-profit developers who want to build and operate affordable housing is a good idea, but it doesn’t do much to ensure people can keep living in the housing we’re already providing.
It may have been the best decision given the circumstances, but it probably wouldn’t be considered the best decision if provincial and federal governments hadn’t imposed restrictions. That’s the message that Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley and his fellow planning committee members tried to send with a motion asking the upper levels of government to give more flexibility to municipalities and support their ability to make decisions that make sense for their communities. But history shows that those concerns will likely fall on deaf ears.

As if movies weren’t bad enough CHARLES GORDON Funny Town With all the problems in the world, you’d think we wouldn’t go looking for more, but that’s the way human beings are. If we weren’t that way the world would have fewer problems. So here’s the new problem we are on the verge of creating: booze in movie theatres. Sheesh. As any serious movie-goer knows, the movie theatre is already overloaded with problematic behaviour. There are talkers and texters, popcorn spillers and candy-unwrappers. For each offender, there is a sensitive victim, a person so consumed by anxiety over cellphone glows or cellophane crackles that he cannot concentrate on the screen. And now, someone is thinking of adding beer and wine drinkers to the mix? Indeed. The talk so far centres on the planned Empire Theatres at the redeveloped Lansdowne Park, but other theatres will want to get in on the act if it is successful at Lansdowne. Temporary licenses have been issued in the past so there is no small chance that permanent licenses could be had and the movie theatre as cocktail lounge become part of the landscape. It is peculiar that the issue has arisen at all. Can anyone remember a loud public outcry in favour of beer and wine in movie theatres? Have people been refusing to go to the movies because they can’t get a drink? Were there demonstrations? There has been some debate on the subject already. There are people who grudgingly accept the idea, if there are alcohol-free options available – in other words, so long as not every movie theatre is licensed. Others have used the occasion to reopen the whole Lansdowne Park debate, which heaven knows there’s been
enough of. And there has been the standard defence of the idea, best exemplified in an Ottawa Citizen editorial: “Ontario is very slowly shaking off its temperance-league attitudes and realizing that treating all adults as if they were children isn’t necessary to prevent public disorder,” the editorial says. “If nightclubs and pubs and restaurants can be trusted to ask for ID from customers and refuse to serve the already drunk, surely movie theatres can be trusted to do the same.” Some big and little quibbles can be made with that argument. Nightclubs and pubs are equipped to ask for ID and discourage drunken behaviour. Theatres are not. To ask them to do so with existing staff may be expecting too much. The larger argument stems from the editorial’s reference to Ontario’s “temperanceleague attitudes.” There is a familiar kind of Canadian inferiority complex on display here, a feeling that we are somehow less sophisticated than other peoples because our province has not become an open bar. There is a longing for Canada to become somehow more European, where, it is thought, string quartets play on every street corner while 11-year-olds sip Chablis at the dining room table. But, for better or worse, we are not Europe. The better part is that the 11-year-olds get to watch hockey games and the grown-ups have a far lower rate of cirrhosis of the liver. The worse part about not being Europe is that many of us continue to display a North American attitude toward licensed beverages – which is to say that we consume as many of them as we can in a short period of time and proceed to converse loudly, sometimes about the hockey game, sometimes not. And while many of us are the kinds of people who are capable of sipping one beer quietly in the cinema, what are the odds that it’s the other kind, the adults who should be treated as if they were children, who will be sitting behind you while you’re trying to watch the movie? Tipsy, it will take them even longer to take off the cellophane candy wrapper.

Stressed? One change can make the difference January is a great month to make change. Coming off the slump of the holidays, people are keen to set themselves new goals for the New Year: Lose weight, get finances in order, take on stretch assignments at work, reduce stress. But as it turns out, we may be adding more stress to our lives just by imposing an unrealistic to-do list on ourselves. “People are putting stress on themselves to change,” says Kathy Glover Scott, an Ottawa-based author, speaker, and expert in the field of alternative wellness. “But too often, they expect this radical change to happen overnight. If you want to make change, January is a great time to do that, but just pick one thing and give yourself time to make the change.” Scott says the instant society in which we live means everyone expects change to “just happen.” Often, by midFebruary, however, people are posting online sales’ ads for exercise equipment that’s been collecting laundry in the corner of their condos, a sure sign they’ve failed to implement their New Year’s resolutions. “People quit too easily,” says Scott. “They fall off the wagon once – have a cigarette, eat the wrong thing – and they quit. But perseverance is key to making change.” And it’s also key to keeping

your stress in check, says Scott. Perseverance is about rewarding oneself along the way, and taking things at a realistic pace, while recognizing that perfection is not sustainable. If you’ve
‘Toxic stress has a huge impact on our health, particularly on the endocrine system. ... The body gets overwhelmed, but people don’t make this connection.’ Kathy Glover Scott
made a resolution to eliminate saturated fat from your diet, and you accidentally ate a tablespoon of mayonnaise on your sandwich, it’s important to recognize that you’ve still reduced your fat intake considerably that day and reward yourself accordingly. Unfortunately, people put too much pressure on themselves to be perfect, and not just in January. Scott says cli-
ents often come to her ready to quit their jobs, or to do something radical, claiming they “just can’t take the stress anymore.” Her first piece of advice is usually to take a step back and respond to things more reflectively. “People can respond to events in their lives, or they can react,” says Scott. “‘Respond’ means we have a thoughtful, mindful way of approaching something. A reactive response comes from a fear-based place of anxiety. We can feel it in our entire bodies, when we go from zero to 100 right away, and it feels like our whole bodies are stressed.” Accumulative reactive responses not only make the small challenges in our lives seem insurmountable, says Scott, but they also take a toll on our long-term health. “Toxic stress has a huge impact on our health, particularly on the endocrine system,” says Scott. “Thyroid and adrenal glands are really getting impacted by stress in our society, by the toxins in our food, stress from technology. The body gets overwhelmed, but people don’t make this connection.” Scott says those who learn to respond to events more thoughtfully are often better at finding ways to deal with challenges as they come, reducing the likelihood of
toxic stress. They are good at self-coaching, an integral component of perseverance, and they have identified a spiritual/physical practice – like meditation, Reiki, or Yoga – which allows them to be more reflective on a daily
basis. If you have made a New Year’s resolution – or five – it’s time to narrow down the list, give yourself the room to fail, and make a promise to persevere, at least until March. By choosing
just one thing and promising to be realistic about it, you’ll already have made a significant change in your life: You’ve reduced your level of toxic stress. And that’s a good thing, not just for January, but well into the future.

No bull: Goody celebrates 15th birthday at farm museum Kristy Wallace
kristy.wallace@metroland.com
EMC community – Goody celebrated his 15th birthday on Jan. 8 right at home. He relaxed, and visited with friends young and old, and he even enjoyed a cake made of grains and molasses. The Canada Agriculture Museum held the party for the birthday boy, which is the museum’s only bull. “People come to see Goody. He’s our most popular animal,” said Marie-Sophie Desaulniers, manager of visitor experience at the Canada Agriculture Museum. Goody was born 1997 and has been at the museum since
1999. “He’s been here a very long time and a lot of people know him,” she said. “A lot of our animals change a lot, but Goody has been a fixture since 1999.” Goody moved to the museum 13 years ago to help visitors understand what a bull looks like, and what the purpose of bulls are in the farming world. Bulls are often used for mating purposes, she said, adding the animal is later used for meat. “We want our visitors to be able to see males and understand what their function on the farm is,” Desaulniers said. “He brings to the visiting public a
good example of what male beef cattle species can look like. He enables us to start that conversation of why we don’t keep males on the farm and what happens to them. He’s really a good starting point for all kinds of discussion.” Goody weighs about 2,500 pounds and she said he’s pretty big for this breed. Museum staff put the bull on a strict diet of hay and nutrients to make sure he stays healthy. “As we all get older, we get a little rounder,” she said. “So we want to keep him in good health.” Goody is a generally calm animal, Desaulniers said, but he’s still a bull, so visitors have
to be careful with him. She said the visitors love Goody so much that they requested that the bull be put in a larger stall, even though regular pens in the industry are smaller. The museum also spoiled him with a brush installed in his corner of the barn. “We rarely cave to things like that,” said Desaulniers, referring to the expansion of the bull’s stall. “But this is his house and he’s comfortable here. ” The birthday party was the second party thrown for the bull, she said. “People love him so much, that we thought we’d mark the milestones for him,” she said.

EMC - Your Community Newspaper
Do’s and Don’ts of Pet Adoption Adopting a pet is a selfless act thousands and thousands of animal lovers commit each and every year. Caring for an animal can be a rewarding experience, and adopting a pet from a local shelter often makes the bond between pet and pet owner that much stronger. As rewarding as adopting a pet can be, there is a right way and a wrong way to approach pet adoption. Before signing
any papers, consider the following do’s and don’ts of pet adoption. DO * Honestly assess your lifestyle. Just because you love animals does not mean your lifestyle is suited to having a pet. Today’s men and women are arguably busier than ever before, something that can be detrimental to pets, who still need lots of affection and at-
tention regardless of how busy their owners are. An honest lifestyle assessment should give people an idea if their lifestyle is conducive to pet ownership. * Choose the right pet. Choosing the right pet involves more than finding the friendliest puppy or the cutest kitten. While compatability is important, it’s often additional factors that determine if a pet and
pet owner are a good match. These factors include space restrictions in the home, amount of time spent in the home and the presence of others, be it children or roommates. For example, a big dog like a St. Bernard is likely not an ideal fit for a man or woman who lives in a studio apartment, nor is a pet who requires lots of attention good for a person who is rarely home. Individuals
who don’t spend much time at home might be better off with a cat who prefers solitude, while those who live in small apartments might be best suited to a small dog or cat. Choosing the right pet involves careful consideration of these external factors. * Be willing to train the pet if need be. The ASPCA notes that lack of training is one of the most common reasons men and women cite when returning an animal to a shelter. Pet adoption candidates should be willing to train the animal, as effective training opens the channels of communication and results in a longer, healthier relationship. DON’T * Adopt on a whim. Adopting a pet without carefully considering all the pros and cons is a great way to find yourself returning the pet to a shelter. Shelter animals are often most victimized by adopting on a whim, as the cost of adoption greatly pales in comparison to purchasing an animal from a breeder. Because those adoption fees are so low, it’s not uncommon for men and women to write off the fee as a loss and return the dog to the shelter. This is cruel to the animal and can be easily avoided if people who want to adopt do so after carefully considering everything that goes into be-
ing a pet owner, as opposed to adopting a pet after a weekend visit to the local shelter. * Adopt if finances aren’t great. Pets make great companions, but they can also be expensive. Men and women considering adoption must make an honest assessment of their finances to determine if they can truly afford having a pet. The cost of pet ownership extends well beyond the initial adoption fee, as pets need food, shelter and sometimes medication just like their human counterparts. Prospective adopters can visit the ASPCA “Pet Care Costs” chart at www.aspca.org/adoption/petcare-costs.aspx to get a better idea of just how much caring for a pet will cost. * Consider pet adoption a minor commitment. Pet adoption requires a significant commitment that will no doubt alter a person’s lifestyle considerably. Men and women who enter the adoption process with a carefree attitude are likely to be among the many people who unfortunately return their animals to shelters every year. If you’re not willing to make that lifestyle change or commit fully to the animal, don’t adopt. For more adoption tips or information about adoption, visit the ASPCA at www.aspca.org.
Pet Adoptions PET OF THE WEEK WINSTON - ID#A136061 This neutered male, gray Chinese Sharpei and Weimaraner mix is about four months old and has been at the Ottawa Humane Society since January 6 when he was surrendered by his owner. He is the colour of a yellow lab, has one brown eye and one blue eye, is growing quickly, and looking for a family to include him in their lives. This active pup has energy to spare and will need lots of exercise and play time every day! He has a lot of potential to be an obedience star and is just waiting for someone to steer him in the right direction. Puppy classes would be a great first step. Winston gets along well with cats who have lived with dogs before and other dogs whose energy-level matches his. Older children (age 10+) would be best suited to this pup because he is still learning his manners. Winston would benefit from a crate to help him learn proper housetraining.
MINNIE - ID#A134989 This spayed female, brown tabby and white Domestic Shorthair cat is about a year-and-a-half old. She has been at the Ottawa Humane Society since September 6 when she was surrendered by her owner. This five-kilogram beauty loves to have her head rubbed and her chin scratched! She has the softest purr you’ve ever heard but if you listen really closely, you’ll hear it. Minnie got along well with a small dog in her previous home, but she’d rather not reside with other felines.

If your pet goes missing this winter, what are the chances it will find its way home? The Ottawa Humane Society is urging animal owners to take precautions by ensuring that if their dog or cat becomes lost, it has the best possible chance of a safe return — by implanting a grain-sized microchip offering permanent, lifelong identification. Microchips provide a permanent means of pet identification that will not fade or be lost over time. Owner information can be

Visit to neighbour’s a vacation from Depression Mary Cook’s Memories BY MARY COOK
school together, and were a constant aggravation to the older girls in the family and my sister Audrey. Their daughter Velma was my closest friend. It was in her bed that I first experienced sleeping on a feather mattress with a feather comforter over us. And I especially remember with great fondness how, on a cold and clear winter’s night, our family would bundle up in our heaviest clothes, Father would bring the flat-bottomed sleigh to the kitchen door, and we would pile on, and head across the 20 acre field to spend an evening with the Thoms. Their log house was much larger than ours, and the boys would settle into one of the back bedrooms and we could hear the sounds of laughter and playful scrapping coming from that direction. My sister Audrey and older Thom girls would settle in the parlour and Velma and I knew for a fact they were talking about the boys from the Northcote School, and other delicious subjects we could only imag-
ine, but were never allowed to sit in on. Velma and I played with our dolls in the warmth of the kitchen and sometimes pulled a chair up to the table to watch Uncle Alec and Father take on Aunt Bertha and Mother in a riotous game of euchre. When it came time to serve lunch...there was always a bountiful lunch when we visited neighbours, everyone would settle into the kitchen, and sometimes Uncle Alec would take out his fiddle, Mother her mouth organ, and the music would begin. And I would look around that room...full to the brim with our two families, and I would think we were the luckiest people in the whole
ter’s evening in the warmth of someone else’s kitchen. And at times like that, the Depres-
sion, I was sure, was happening in a place far away from Renfrew County.

of Renfrew County. By the time we were all piled back onto the sleigh, my eyes would already be drooping, and I would do everything in my power to stay awake as we went across the 20 acre field. And once we were out in the open field, and it was a cold and clear night, I would look up at the Renfrew County sky and see millions of stars lighting up my world. The untouched snow in the rest of the field would glisten as if God had spread a blanket of diamonds from one end to the other, as the moon shone down its light on our land. I tried desperately to stay awake. It only took about 20 minutes to go from the Thom house to our kitchen door, but it was long enough that I don’t ever remember arriving home awake! Yes, winters were joyous times back then. Made warm by neighbours around us, and the sheer joy of feeling a contentment that came from just being able to spend a cold win-

EMC Lifestyle - It seems to me now, so many years later, that my fondest memories are from the days of winter on the farm during those lean Depression years. Perhaps it was because during the warm summer months there was always so much work to be done. Planting, harvesting, repairing fences, tending gardens and a host of other jobs that could only be done when there was no snow on the ground. But during the winter months, we seemed to have more family time, and certainly there were many hours spent visiting neighbours, going to Saturday night house parties, and church concerts which seemed to surface regularly. We saw often our neighbours who lived across the 20 acre field, which in the summer time was planted high with grain, but in the winter, with sleighs coming and going from our house to theirs, a path just wide enough to handle the team soon took form. The Thoms were a big and boisterous family. We called them Uncle Alec and Aunt Bertha, even though as far as I knew they were no relation whatsoever. But back in those days, youngsters wouldn’t dream of calling an adult by his or her first name. Their boys and ours played together, skated on the Bonnechere, set snares for rabbits, walked to

EMC Lifestyle – In answer to the enquiry about the orange oatmeal bread that was in my Jan. 5 column, set your bread machine to make a 2 lb. loaf. Over 30 years ago, a vegetarian friend introduced me to falafel at a Middle Eastern restaurant in Ottawa. I had no idea what to expect when she ordered them, but I was hooked after the first mouthful. The falafel were meatless patties made with cooked chickpeas that had been ground and seasoned with cumin, garlic and onion. They were served in pita bread, with a slice of dill pickle. Even now, just remembering them makes my mouth water. Falafel are an acquired taste though. If you like the flavour of spices such as garlic and cumin, you’ll probably enjoy them. They are often served with lettuce, tomato, and a cucumber sauce. Made with yogurt, peanut butter and cucumber, the sauce may sound unusual, but it has just the right combination of tart and sweet flavours. The falafel patties are easy to make at home using canned chickpeas. When you buy the pita or flat bread, check that the package label specifies that the bread has a “pocket”.
Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW
Some don’t and, for this recipe, you’ll want the type that you can stuff. Falafel 540 mL can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1/3 cup bread crumbs 2 tbsp. fresh parsley, or 1 tbsp dried 1 clove garlic, minced 1/4 tsp. pepper 1/4 tsp. salt 1 tbsp. cumin seed 2-3 tbsp. water (see directions) Cucumber Sauce 1 cup yogurt 1/4 cup peanut butter 2 tbsp. lemon juice 1/2 clove garlic, minced (optional) a dash of salt and pepper 1 cup cucumber, peeled and diced 3 pocket pita bread, shredded lettuce, and diced tomato. Sliced dill pickle is optional. To make the falafel patties, combine the chickpeas, onion, bread crumbs, parsley, garlic,
pepper and salt in a food processor. Rub the cumin seeds in the palm of your hand to break them up, then add them. Process until smooth. If the mixture looks dry or climbs up the side of the food processor bowl, add 2 to 3 tbsp. of water. Roll the mixture into 12 balls, and flatten them slightly. Lightly spray a non-stick frying pan with cooking oil spray. Add the falafel patties, and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned. To prepare the cucumber sauce, thoroughly mix the yogurt, peanut butter, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor. Transfer the sauce to a bowl, and stir in the diced cucumber. When the falafel are ready, warm the pita bread for about 15 seconds in the microwave oven. Cut each pita bread in half, and gently separate the top and bottom crust to form a pocket. Place two or three falafel patties in each half, then add chopped tomato and shredded lettuce. Spoon some cucumber sauce over this, and serve immediately. Any leftover cooked patties can be frozen. Makes 3-4 servings.

Local ringette rivals go pink Game between Ice, Devils to help breast cancer research Dan Plouffe
EMC sports – With $2,500 raised for breast cancer research in just the second edition of the event last year, the Ottawa Ice are looking forward to their annual “pink game” against the Gloucester Devils with the same type of enthusiasm they’ve shown in knocking around their opponents thus far in their National Ringette League season. The Ice roll into the 1 p.m. match on Sunday, Jan. 22, at Jim Durrell Recreation Complex with the fewest losses of any team in the NRL, carrying an outstanding 17-1-1 record. “This is a group that is committed to it and sets the bar quite high,” says Ice coach Al Bateman. “Their motto is to be the toughest team to play against in the league. Every time someone looks and sees Ottawa in their schedule, they don’t look forward to it.” With most now in their mid20s, Bateman sees a team full of players who are “coming into their own” this season. “It takes them four or five years in the league to mature enough and become your main players,” he says. “We’re a young team, and we get better every year.” Team Canada member Katie Lugg leads the way with 20
29 goals and 36 assists in 19 games for the Ice, while Jayme Simzer has 32 goals of her own, but what makes Ottawa such a tough opponent in the view of Devils veteran Colleen Hagan is their depth. Kyrie Love, Alex Bateman, Lyndsay Whyte, Jenna Love, Jenna McBride and Chloe Laframboise are all scoring at better than a point-a-game pace. “They have some incredible talent across their lineup,” says Hagan. “They work very, very well together.” With a 9-7-1 record, it’s been a decent season to date for the Devils as well. The upcoming match will be the third and final meeting between the rivals from the capital, with Ottawa taking the first two by scores of 7-3 and 8-3. “They’re a good, competitive team for us, although every time we play them, I think we go in giving them too much credit,” says Hagan. The pink game usually attracts a large crowd with supporters from many local minor ringette associations, and Bateman sends an open invitation to anyone else who wants to check out the highest level of ringette in Canada, and the world. “These are excellent athletes and great role models,” Bateman says. “And this is an annual event that everyone pitches in and thoroughly enjoys.” Tickets are $5 for general admission and $2 for ringette players.

I Love to Play Hockey participants joined Mayor Jim Watson and the other community leaders during the first hockey practice at Michele Heights Community Centre for the I Love to Play Hockey program on Jan. 14.
I Love To Play Hockey program launched Kristy Wallace
kristy.wallace@metroland.com
EMC sports – Children who wouldn’t normally have a chance to play hockey can now take part in a program that gives them skates, helmets and other gear, while keeping alive the memory of a young player who died suddenly in May. The I Love to Play Hockey program was recently launched at the Michele Heights Community Centre, and is in memory of 18-yearold Eric Leighton who died in an explosion in an automotive shop class at Mother Teresa Catholic High School in May.
During his years as a hockey player, Leighton, who played for the Almonte Thunder, raised money to help less fortunate children play sports. “This is exactly what Eric would have wanted to see money invested in,” said Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, who attended the event. “He loved hockey and he was passionate about kids and skating.” About 25 children came out to their first hockey practice on the cold morning, which Taylor said grew a bit solemn when Eric’s photo was unveiled at the event. He said the program will serve as a great tool for chil-
dren in Ottawa, which was echoed by Mayor Jim Watson. “There is nothing better than to see smiles on the children’s faces when they get on the ice with their new hockey equipment,” said Watson in a statement. “This program builds self-confidence in these children by giving them an opportunity to learn a sport in which they may not otherwise have been able to participate.” I Love to Play Hockey provides children aged 10 to 15 with skates, a hockey helmet, hockey gloves, hockey stick, a jersey and lessons over four
weeks on outdoor rinks, followed by a wrap-up tournament. The program builds off the I Love to Skate program which helps bring skating lessons to children aged six to 12. The program is also made possible through the Canadian Tire Jumpstart national charitable program, which helps financially disadvantages children play organized sports and take part in recreational activities. The Leighton family also provided funds, and chose Jumpstart as a recipient for donations made in their son’s name.
Senators enjoy getting ‘social’ with fans
®
While Anderson admits “you’ve got to be careful with it,” he’s enjoyed the Twitter relationship he’s building with fans. “For me, it’s actually been quite an experience,” said the Senators No. 1 stopper, (@ CraigAnderson41), who also maintains a Facebook fan page. “I didn’t really know what to expect going into it. It gives fans a more personal scenario where they can be in touch with the players and it gives them another avenue to have a conversation without having a conversation. It makes them feel special and makes them feel like they’re part of the hockey world.” Senators forward Erik Condra agreed social media has the ability to change the relationship between the player and the fan. “Hopefully, they see more that we’re regular people and we do the same stuff that they do,” said the rookie forward (@ECondra), who had a rather simple reason for getting into this game. “The whole world is going through a social media frenzy and it’s better to be a part of it and know what’s going on than to be left in the dust.

Offensively, much of Toronto’s fortunes rest in the hands of Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul, who both rank among the NHL’s top point-getters. Also chipping in to the Leafs’ attack are a forward group that includes Tyler Bozak, Mikhail Grabovski, Tim Connolly and Clarke MacArthur. On the blue

“I’m still new to it. I’m not going to do it all the time, but little things I like that are fun or important, I’ll put up there.” A word of advice to fans from the pros — if you want to make a connection, stick to hockey with your thoughts.

By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Social media, it might be said, has exploded into the defining force of a generation. Whether it’s sharing news with friends on Facebook or posting quickie thoughts that come to mind on Twitter, the world has indeed become a much smaller place thanks to these new creations, both of which involve hundreds of millions of users. And neither is going away anytime soon. So perhaps it’s hardly surprising that the power of social media would make an impact on the world of professional sports. More specifically, the relationship between the fan and those who play the games they follow so ardently. “It’s a good way to interact with fans,” said forward Jesse Winchester (@jwinch18), one of four players on the current Ottawa Senators roster to delve into the world of Twitter. “I can see myself doing that in some capacity.” Senators goaltender Craig Anderson originally saw social media as a way to maintain contact with netminders who took part in goalie camps he’s run over the past few summers. But he’s since discovered it’s also an interesting, more personal way to connect with the team’s fan base.

Workshops help residents live better, happier and healthier Kristy Wallace kristy.wallace@metroland.com
EMC news – Sometimes, life throws things your way that are hard to deal with. For PJ Clarke, her life-changing moment was when a close friend of hers committed suicide. “That was really big,” said Clarke. “It was really time
to start looking at life differently.” Over the last few years and continuing into 2012, Clarke has hosted a variety of workshops. She has guest speakers and experts who come and lead these workshops, which focus on such things as helping people learn different emo-
tional healing techniques and learning how to resume control of their lives following a difficult situation. “It’s all about energy. What you put out there comes back at you,” she said. “It was important to me that people have some tools that they take away with them so they’re not in victimhood mode.”

One of the workshops that Clarke hosts is led by Jeremy Sills, who uses crystal bowls as part of the meditation process. “The bowls do two things: they help shift you more quickly into a meditative state, and they’re hypnotic,” Clarke said. “Anybody who comes to these for the first time is just wowed by how powerful it is.” She also hosts workshops that deal with helping people take back control of their lives, and learn to not be victims.
“There are so many people suffering, and we don’t need to suffer,” Clarke said. “It’s about turning the perspective around and finding out what the gift is. When you get caught up in the emotional charge, you do become the victim.” One of the challenges is getting the people who are too busy and stressed out with life to attend, she said. Those are the ones who need it most. “The ones who need it the most are the ones who are way too busy on that treadmill of life, and who don’t

Next we went into the Metro for more gift cards. Our final stop was at the Walmart to cash in the rest of her $1,000 on winnings.

Heartburn Reflux High Blood Pressure?
The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 95% acidic food (meat, noodles, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy 7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box. � Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore.
