EMC news - Developers and neighbours alike see a 23storey condo tower recently handed initial approval by the city at the entrance to Hintonburg as a harbinger of what’s to come for the area. The city’s planning committee gave the thumbs’ up to a Claridge Homes proposal for a 17-storey tower atop a six-storey podium at 1050 Somerset St. W. at a meeting on July 9. Architect Roderick Lahey said the 195-unit building will stand up among other tall buildings that will be built in the area as the transit system expands, including the nearby City Centre site. “We know the future there will be something quite grand and exciting (there),” Lahey said of City Centre.

EMC entertainment - Naked Naked Naked. I Killed The Group of Seven. Porn is Not Art. The openings and art parties thrown to celebrate these exhibits and many others at the Patrick John Mills Contemporary Fine Art Gallery have been shut down by the city after a series of bylaw complaints were made by area residents.
“I’ve never received a fine and never had the police show up,” said Patrick John Mills, who runs his gallery from his home at 286 Hinchey Ave. “There’s no appeal system and (the city) pretty much annihilated me.” Over the last few years, Mills said the gallery, which is also his home, has hosted exhibit openings and art parties that have attracted hundreds of people about once a month.
As part of the art parties, guests were able to drink alcohol and listen to music, noise that Mills said was over by 11 p.m. “It’s a once a month art party and the noise is off at 11,” Mills said. “Everything is dead silent at 11 p.m.” He said the city told him one of the biggest problems was a zoning issue and that his home needed to be redesignated from residential to commercial zoning if he
wanted to continue. “They deemed me as a museum, a cultural art centre and art gallery,” Mills said. “Due to basically the success of the turnout of events, I was closed. They said you are in a residential neighbourhood, but you’re operating something commercial.” Mills said he was also told that if he decided to apply for a re-zoning, it wouldn’t fly. “Because of its location, it would never qualify,” he said. City spokesman Barre Campbell said the city can’t comment on the situation.
“There are a number of issues with this gallery which are currently under investigation by the city,” Campbell wrote in an email. “We cannot comment further at this time.” Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs also declined to comment on the specifics of Mills’ case. “I am not comfortable with sharing any information about a constituent,” Hobbs wrote in an email, adding that she can only speak generically about city bylaws.

Bayshore students should be tested for lead: experts School water showed extreme levels for unknown period of time Nevil Hunt
nevil.hunt@metroland.com
EMC news - The water is flowing at Bayshore Public School, but there are still concerns about high levels of lead found in the school’s water in May and early June. Experts at two Ottawa universities suggest young children at Bayshore Public School be tested for exposure to lead and Ottawa public health says concerned parents can have their children tested
by their family doctors. The water in all schools is tested annually, and a May 14 sample at Bayshore Public School found lead levels more than 60 times the amount considered safe to drink. The school’s water fountains were shut down and bottled water supplied to students. The school’s pipes were flushed daily and the water retested weekly until two tests in a row showed the water was deemed safe to drink.
suspects recent construction near the school may have played a part on the high levels of lead found in May and early June. About 400 children attend Bayshore Public School, from kindergarten to Grade 5. Health Canada says exposure to lead can affect the intellectual development of children. The federal department says infants and toddlers are particularly vulnerable to the harmful effects of lead. A University of Ottawa professor who has expertise in
The cause of the jump in lead levels at Bayshore has not been confirmed and it’s not clear how long students may have been drinking water contaminated with high levels of lead. A possible cause may have been a new water fountain installed in early March or a clothes washer installed in April. Public school board spokeswoman Lauren Peddle said the board’s facilities department

Thomas Moon, vice-dean of the faculty of science at the University of Ottawa, said that if the children at Bayshore only consumed the water for a matter of weeks, the effects may be minimal, but added that tests are recommended. “It’s a pretty hard call,” Moon said. “Over the short term… I doubt that there are a lot of effects simply because it’s not there long enough.” However, given the young age of some of the children, Moon said testing would be a good idea. “These are really high levels; you’re talking 60 times higher than what they should be,” he said. “Kids that are really young, their brains are developing much more quickly, so it could affect them more than it’s going to affect 14year-olds. I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get tests done.” Peddle said on June 28 that testing the blood of students has not been suggested to parents. She said the board received advice from the city’s public health department about testing for lead “and the students don’t require it at this point.” Ottawa public health supervisor Kathy Downey said parents who are concerned can take their children to their family doctors for a blood test.

neurocognitive development suggested testing of young children exposed to lead. Amedeo D’Angiulli wrote in an email that all the children in the school should be tested as a precaution: “especially under the age of six.” D’Angiulli said it’s important that parents not be overly alarmed as treatments are available if the lead exposure is caught at an early stage. Testing for lead involves taking a pin-prick blood sample. If lead levels are found to be elevated, a doctor can prescribe chelation therapy, which includes a medication that binds to the lead in the patient so it can more easily pass out of the body in their urine. D’Angiulli suggested parents refer to the Mayo Clinic’s website at www.mayoclinic. com/health/lead-poisoning/ FL00068 for more information. The site lists both short- and http link effects of lead expolong-term sure. Some of the short term effects include: • irritability • loss of appetite • weight loss • sluggishness and fatigue • constipation • earning difficulties Long term effects include learning disabilities such as ADHD, dyslexia and in the worst cases, a lower IQ.
“Overall in general and not related to this case . . . city bylaws allow (residents) to operate a home business under a residential zoning,” she wrote. “A home business means you can have one client at a time at your premises. Commercial zoning is required if one wants to have the capability to have more customers enter an establishment at one time. There are increased fire code requirements under commercial zoning for the protection of anyone visiting that business.” Mills said he’s been trying to apply for jobs because the money generated from
the parties helped him “keep a roof over his head,” but he said things look grim. He admitted that he pushed the limits with operating an at-home business that attracted hundreds of people, but he said his gallery is meant to bring the community together. “My intentions and hopes are to build a community, not to piss off the community,” he said. “My hope is that people realize I was trying to be neighbourly and with that, it backfired on me.” Mills said his gallery is still open by appointment or by drop-in if he happens to be at the house.

Summer Conservation Tips!
Men visiting from Nunavut drowned in Ottawa River
The hot hazy days of summer are here, and Hydro Ottawa is sharing tips to help you conserve electricity while keeping cool.
Ottawa West EMC staff
EMC news - Ian Shooyook, 21, and Solomon Oyukuluk, 26, are being remembered by their families as caring and committed to their loved ones. The two men were visiting Ottawa from Arctic Bay, Nunavut, escorting their mother and father who were receiving medical care. Shooyook and Oyukuluk had disappeared June 30 near the Deschênes Rapids and their bodies were recovered last week in the Ottawa River. The men were staying at Larga Baffin, a facility located on Richmond Road that houses and helps people from the Northwest Territories and Nunavut when they travel to Ottawa on medical trips. Shooyook was there with his 73-year-old adoptive father, Isaac, while Oyukuluk was accompanying his mother, 60year-old Tootalie Qangoo. “Both young men were very well liked and respected by those that knew them,” officials from Larga Baffin said in a statement. “We would

The two men were accompanying their respective parents, who were visiting Ottawa from Arctic Bay, Nunavut, to receive medical attention. like to take this opportunity to honour them for the love and commitment they gave to their families.” Through an Inuktitut interpreter, Isaac said he chose Shooyook to come with him when he found out he had to come to Ottawa for treatment. It was his adoptive son’s first time visiting the south. The statement reads that Isaac called his son an “angel,” and a “kind and caring young man.” Oyukuluk’s mother described her son as a “good boy” who was quiet. She said he loved his family and told the interpreter that her son would
pick her up “lovingly” to help her get to where she needed to be since she had accessibility issues. “That’s just the kind of human being he was,” she said. His mother also said that he was a member of the Canadian Rangers and was recently promoted to corporal. She said her son had in the past been asked to lead his team through rough waters.His experience was limited, she said, but his father had given him advice as a child on how to read the water and he “got through it.” The men will be interred after they’re sent back home.

EMC news - A plan to exempt community associations from a planned city lobbyist registry may still hit a few snags. They city’s finance and economic development committee endorsed a plan for the registry on July 6, with some changes over the strict version presented last December. At that time, community associations were included and would have had to publicly register all communications with city councillors and city managers. The updated guidelines are more nuanced. Professional lobbyists hired by community associations would still be considered a lobbyist but the new rules would provide a clear distinction between “lobbying” and “advocacy.” Guy Giorno, a lawyer who specializes in lobbyist registries, told councillors the amendments were a good idea that went too far. He said it excludes businesses lobbying on “broad policy issues,” including things like the non-smoking bylaw. That didn’t sit will with several councillors, including Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, who drafted a
motion aimed at removing that exemption when it relates to business interests. The motion city lawyers wrote didn’t quite hit the point, Deans said, and committed to working on it and presenting it at council on July 11 instead. The rules describe advocacy as communicating for or against a policy or program “where the primary focus is a broad community benefit or detriment, whether citywide or local.” Lobbying is defined as communicating with a public office holder “who is paid or represents a business or financial interest with the goal of trying to influence any legislative action including the development, introduction, passage, defeat, amendment or repeal of a bylaw, motion, resolution or the outcome of a decision.” Since community associations will be exempted, councillors had asked for a definition of what constitutes a community association. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said that distinction is especially important in his ward, where there are two community associations that have only two members that claim to represent their greater communities. Other areas of the city share
that concern said Beacon HillCyrville Coun. Tim Tierney. “There is no qualifying material required … you can send and email with a link and you get put on the website,” Tierney said. As noted in the city staff report, “The City of Ottawa does not have a formal definition of a community association as many groups operate in the city in various capacities and with varying levels of formality.” While the report on the lobbyist registry did contain a definition, it was for information only and not adopted as an official definition by the city. That work will continue as part of the mid-governance review in the fall, Mayor Jim Watson said. For information in the meantime, city staff offered the definition used by the Federation of Urban Neighbourhoods (Ontario) as “any voluntary, not-for-profit, community organization that has the objective of serving the interests of a geographically-defined urban area in the Province of Ontario” and the Federation of Community Associations of Ottawa’s bylaw provides that membership in the federation is extended to “any non-profit, voluntary community, neighbourhood, property owners’, tenants’ or other association or group based in Ottawa having as its objective to serve community interests.”

Swimmers set to tackle Britannia Bay for charity Hundreds to hit water to help physically disabled children Kristy Strauss
kristy.strauss@metroland.com
EMC community - What started as a challenge between friends six years ago has grown into one of Canada’s largest open swims which raises money for children with physical disabilities. On July 14, more than 450 swimmers of all ages and abilities will take part in the Busktukah Bring on the Bay Swim, where participants will swim three kilometers from the Nepean Sailing Club to the Britannia Yacht Club on Britannia Bay to raise money for Easter Seals Ontario. “I think it’s grown in popularity because it’s a really great event,” said Krystal Walters, the development manager of the Easter Seals Ontario, Ontario East. “It’s very well run, and the facilities we use – the Nepean Sailing Club and Britannia Yacht Club – are unbelievably accommodating. And, it’s for a great cause.” The annual fundraiser is now in its sixth year and has since raised more than $60,000 for Easter Seals.
Last year alone, Walters said the event raised more than $30,000. She said money raised from the event goes to help Easter Seals assist families of children with physical disabilities with the cost of mobility equipment and communications devices. “The cool thing is not only are (participants) supporting a great cause, they also get to swim three kilometers,” said Walters. The event is a “really amazing sight,” she said, with hundreds of swimmers wearing neon coloured swim caps. All participants also get a medal at the end. “Everyone has neon green or yellow heads bobbing in the water, it’s the first thing in the morning, and they just kind of take off,” Walters said. The water is usually much warmer than participants think, she said. For first-time participants who might be nervous about the distance or swimming conditions, Walters said it is important to be confident.

City shutting down Nepean equestrian park NCC wants to find another group to operate west-end park Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
Laura Mueller
Milo Cruikshank, shown with Toy, the horse she leases and boards at the Nepean National Equestrian Park, was emotional at the prospect of having to leave her ‘family’ after the city indicated it wants to cease operations at the park. gnon said. “I have no riding as of this point,” Gagnon said after the finance committee’s decision. “I didn’t hear anyone say differently,” she said, adding that providing $50,000 for programs at other facilities doesn’t guarantee her son will be accepted elsewhere. Milo Cruikshank, a Nepean resident for whom the park has been a “home away from home” for more than a decade, was even more uncertain about the future of her adopted “family.” “We don’t want to have to leave here. We’re going to go off in 12 directions,” she said. Cruikshank wished she and other park users had known about the impending closure earlier so they could have done more to prevent it. “We could have gone out and helped get more shows,” she said, adding that other events such as weddings have also dropped off in the last few years. The lone dissenting voice on the shutdown was Kanata North Coun. Marianne
Wilkinson, who is a longtime supporter of the park for its role in providing recreational opportunities for girls, women and people with disabilities. Wilkinson presented a motion aimed at continuing operations at the park into the fall (perhaps until the end of the next session in October, or until the end of the year) to ensure there isn’t a gap between the city’s programming and when the new operator takes over. That idea was quickly shot down by the rest of the committee. The councillor for the ward where the park is located, Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, said the gap in general programs and operations wasn’t the biggest concern for himself and other members of the committee. While councillors very much wanted to keep up the therapeutic riding services going, Taylor said, “No one was keen on continuing to lose money. “The sooner you can close the door, the better,” Taylor said. The park has run an aver-
age deficit of around $140,000 each year for the past six years, and it needs $1.25 million in capital upgrades, according to a report from city staff. That’s despite council’s 2005 direction to find a way to break even on running the park. Shutting down operations at the park will save the city $320,658 next year, minus the $50,000 the city will contrib-
ute to clients of the therapeutic riding program so they can find equivalent services. That will also involve selling the city’s 33 horses that are used in for riding lessons – something that has weighed heavily on the minds of people in the equestrian community, said Jennifer Thomas, an equestrian park volunteer who spoke to the committee on July 3.
She said the city and the managers they hired to run the park could have tried harder to prevent it from failing. “It was about personality… had really very little to do with the facility itself,” she said. Better advertising, deeper ties with the equestrian community and proactively seeking new events to rent out the park would have made all the difference, Thomas said.

EMC news - The city is banking on the National Capital Commission to find another group to run the Nepean National Equestrian Park as it prepares to shut down its equestrian operations. All programs and services at the park should cease by Aug. 26, the city’s finance committee recommended on July 3. That decision was taken with the proviso that the city will put $50,000 towards finding alternate spots for disabled and special-needs riders currently enrolled in the therapeutic riding program at the equestrian park. But the future of programs at the park is still up in the air. In addition to the therapeutic riding program, the park currently provides space to board 17 horses and also offers lessons – mainly for beginners – as well as recreational riding and facilities for horse shows. Spokesman Cedric Pelletier said the NCC would like to continue the “existing use” of the park, which the city ran by leasing NCC land for $20,200 a year. But he said the future offerings at the park will depend on what the businesses and groups that step forward suggest for the site. “I can’t tell you we will keep all the components,” Pelletier said. “At this time it’s too early to decide about this,” he said, adding the city hasn’t officially terminated its lease of the park. That wouldn’t happen until after council votes on the closure on July 11. The typical timeline for seeking a new group or business to run the park could run between three and six months, Pelletier said, but he wouldn’t confirm how long it would take to find a new operator for the equestrian park or a targeted date for the new operators to take over the facility. That worried Elaine Gagnon, whose 18-year-old son, Joey, has participated in the therapeutic riding program for five years. She spent three years looking for a local program that would accept Joey, whose pervasive developmental disorder has left him “trapped in a tense and twisted body.” “Therapeutic riding has given him an opportunity to stretch, therefore letting him stand a little taller in the world,” Gagnon said. Horse riding gives Joey, whose symptoms have autistic tendencies, something to socialize and talk about, his mother said. That progress will stop if she can’t find a private program that will have him, Ga-

Bike helmet debate requires us to use our heads
R
ules, rules, rules. The government always seems to be coming up with laws telling us what to do. Have a life-jacket handy when you’re travelling in a boat, buckle up when you’re in a car, don’t drink and drive. Now, Ontario’s chief coroner is recommending the provincial government make it illegal to bike without wearing a helmet. Well, come on.
Just think of the arguments against such an absurd suggestion. First, people would have to spend upwards of $20 to buy a helmet. Twenty dollars that would be better spent on important items such as racing stripes to decorate bicycles or a new set of iPod headphones for those long cycling trips. Another argument against forcing people to buy bike helmets is the cool factor – or
rather lack thereof. Bike helmets put a dent in whatever type of fashion statement you’re going for and prevent people from allowing their long Fabio-esque hair from flowing in the wind. And if that isn’t enough, helmets sometimes feel hot while cycling on warm summer days. OK, OK – a bike-helmet law will save people’s lives. Recently, an 18-year-old who wasn’t wearing a helmet
died after crashing into a post in Kanata. Every single one of the cycling deaths in the province between 2006 and 2010 was preventable, according to a recent report from the office of the chief coroner. According to the report, cyclists whose cause of death involved a head injury were “three times less likely to be wearing a helmet than those who died of other types of injuries.” Only four provinces in
Canada have cycling helmet safety laws for people of all ages. Ontario and Alberta require people under the age of 18 to wear helmets. When the question of a bike-helmet law hits Queen’s Park, MPPs will have to balance two arguments; voters distaste for the “nanny state” and the need to introduce legislation that could potentially save lives. If you accept the argument that helmets will save people’s
lives, then maybe we should move on to the next question: how do we encourage people to obey such a law. Promotional campaigns, such as Ottawa Public Health’s Adopt a Helmet contest which offers prizes to youth ages 13 to 24 who are photographed wearing a helmet, are a good start. Education will be the cornerstone of any intelligent campaign aimed at getting people to wear bike helmets.

Why city beats cottage, and vice versa CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
A
side from it being too hot most of the time, we have it pretty good in the summer, not having to worry about grammar or dressing up for work. There are great things going on in the city and the usual bounty of natural wonders out by the lakes. The pressure to indulge in cottaging is intense. More and more we are hearing that the cottage is what defines us as Canadians. This makes it tough on people who worry about poison ivy, swimmer’s ear, raccoons and all the other side-effects of lakeside living. What people like this would really like to do is stay home in the air conditioning and let someone else worry about the mosquitos. And who’s to say that they should not have the opportunity? Every Canadian has the right to a guilt-free summer of their choosing. In that spirit, here, as a public service, is a summary of the pros and cons of summer in the city and summer at the lake. Pros of staying in the city: You don’t have to fight the traffic getting out. You have the place pretty much to yourself. There are seats on the buses and at restaurants. Except for kids’ soccer night, your street is quiet. There are festivals of all sorts, which you can really enjoy as long as you are adaptable. For example, you should be adaptable enough not to expect blues at the blues festival. The city has air conditioning. The country just has air. The city has restaurants, where you can go if you feel like eating something that hasn’t been
on a barbecue. You don’t have to drive back to the city. The Internet. Cons of staying in the city: If you don’t leave town, you will have to listen to friends telling you how great it was at the cottage. And look at photographs of fish. On their phones. In the city you will have newspapers – in other words, unrelenting gloom. You will have to do something about the part of the garden that hasn’t been eaten by squirrels. All your friends are gone and the only thing on television is reruns. Work. Construction. The Internet. Pros of heading to the country: The joy of the open road. Sunset and the sound of loons. The sounds of splashing and children’s laughter. A moratorium on the need to improve yourself, the freedom to read a mystery, to take a nap and eat stuff that isn’t strictly healthy. Rustic bliss and losing track of what’s going on in the world. Seeing real animals. If the roof doesn’t leak, a good storm. The cons of visiting the country: A truck ahead of you on the open road, passing another truck, which is behind a trailer. Construction. Sunrise and the sound of crows. The sounds of personal watercraft and somebody’s sound system across the lake. Trying to smile and pretend you are not sick of corn on the cob. Things that might be bears that make a loud noise just when you’re trying to go to sleep. Where can you find a sudoku in this rustic bliss? No matter where you are, you will, unless you are a very secure sort of person, be nagged by the suspicion that others, elsewhere, are having a better time than you. Just remember that they’re thinking the same thing.

Mind your manners
W
ith all the hustle and bustle of daily life, parents seem to have forgotten how to instil good manners in their children. It’s a rare occasion that a child speaks to me without prompting from his mother. At the innumerable play dates I’ve hosted without parents, I often find myself shaking my head at kids chewing with their mouths open, grabbing their crotches and failing to listen to the basic rules of the house. And I’ve yet to hear a kid say please or thank you. I recall several years ago, my aunt offering my own dear son a cookie. Before handing it over, she asked that age-old question “what’s the magic word?” To which my son embarrassingly replied, “umm, abracadabra?” From that moment, I deemed it necessary to discipline my children. (Having a mother like me is no picnic some days). Don’t get me wrong. Like most parents, I had spent years prompting my children to say hello to the neighbours, to speak up when elders asked them questions, to say thank you when appropriate. It was a constant narrative of mom saying, “Say thank you. Say hello to Mrs. Smith. Granny’s asking about your soccer game. Tell her about playing goalie.” While this is probably not a bad start for instilling discipline in pre-schoolers, it loses its lustre once the kids are school-age. And the problem with the prompting method, as I discovered at that abracadabra moment, is that it doesn’t stick. Kids don’t necessarily carry those good manners with them when mom and dad are not around. I recall reading a teacher’s memoir in which he advocated a more action-oriented method; one that would force children to experience the natural consequences of their ill manners. If a child asked for something without tacking the word “please” on the end, the teacher would withhold
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse the item until he or she remembered. If the child took the item without saying thank you, the teacher would take it away. While the rules of the game were explained up front, there was no verbal exchange during the transaction. He found that kids were much quicker to pick up on the concept once they understood the stakes. I’ve employed this method, myself. While I have no idea what my children do when I’m not present, I’ve seen them at family visits thanking hosts for the meals
arms when asked “How are you?” or to simply ignore the question altogether and run off in search of toys. On this particular occasion, my eldest son was asked “How are you?” by the female host. It was one of the proudest moments of my life when he responded, “I’m well, thank you. And how are you going?” (His anglicized version of the question in French). From that point, they exchanged pleasantries, until my son – in six-yearold fashion – finished the conversation by saying, “Could we please play with

I had spent years prompting my children to say hello to the neighbours, to speak up when elders asked them questions, to say thank you when appropriate. ‘Say thank you. Say hello to Mrs. Smith. Granny’s asking about your soccer game. Tell her about playing goalie.’ and asking with an appropriate s’il vous plait, when they want the potatoes passed along at Thanksgiving, without a word from mom. Stepping it up a notch, I have explained to my offspring – one of which happens to be rather shy – the importance of acknowledging adults, whether that means saying a simple hello or engaging in conversation with grown-ups before running off to play. As they continued to ignore the grown-ups in their midst, I was pretty convinced I was just blowing hot air, until a few months ago. We went for dinner at the house of some retired neighbours. In the past, my children had been known to bury their heads in their

For all I know, my kids are crotch-grabbing, openmouth-chewing, no-pleasesaying little monsters when they go over to play with the neighbour kids. But I don’t think so. I’ve often had people – teachers, other parents and my childless friends – make purposeful comment on their manners. As one friend said to me recently, “people only make comments if they’re good; if they were bad, people would choose to say nothing at all.” I hope that’s true.
EMC news – A vandalized stone monument to Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan has been restored at the memorial garden of the Royal Canadian Legion’s national headquarters in Kanata. The stone Inukshuk was toppled by vandals sometime overnight on June 27, leaving the statue in pieces. Bob Butt, outreach director for the Royal Canadian Le-
gion, said the act was “very deliberate” as the statue weighs about 450 kilograms and was cemented to the ground. Members of the Legion filed a police report when the broken statue was discovered early the next morning. “We would like the people who did this to own up to it,” said Butt. The statue was reassembled and erected by three employees of Moriarty Property Maintenance and Landscape free of
charge, said Butt. Some of the stones had to be glued back together. “It’s not only symbolic but it was erected for a reason,” Butt said. “That reason was to pay homage to the 158 Canadians who died in Afghanistan.” The statue was donated by Richard Leger, whose son was one of the first soldiers killed while serving in Afghanistan.

Street planters to be removed along Rideau Work to be done to help blend section with area undergoing reconstruction Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - While a large portion of Rideau Street is getting a makeover over the next two summers, the section between Dalhousie Street and Sussex Drive will continue to look “rugged,” according to the area’s councillor. Upgrades to that section, which includes the Rideau Centre, won’t happen until construction of the downtown tunnel for Ottawa’s light-rail transit system begins in 2013, said Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury. In the meantime, the city is aiming to make that leftover section of Rideau blend in a bit better with the shiny, newer section. Large, heavy cement plant-
ers will be removed all along Rideau Street – including the portion from Sussex to Dalhousie that won’t be reconstructed. In the Sussexto-Dalhousie section, pavers will be put in place to fill in the sidewalk. “The western portion will continue to look sort of rugged, so we want to create sort of a blend there,” Fleury said. There is enough money in the Rideau Street reconstruction budget to cover the cost of removing the planters. The large planters have mostly served as obstacles to pedestrians and create more clutter than an aesthetically appealing streetscape, Fleury said. When the street is rebuilt, most of the sidewalks will be
in the 3.5-metre wide range, which is largely consistent with what’s there now, said Randy Dempsey, who is the transportation engineer for the project. But Fleury insisted the sidewalks, while not physically wider in many spots, will still offer more usable space for pedestrians because of better organization of “street furniture” such as granite block benches, garbage cans and street lights. “It is (an improvement). People are looking at the width of the curbside to the wall,” Fleury said. “In spots you have wider sidewalks and in spots you don’t … But what you do is you gain because of the removal of the planters and … better organized of street furniture. It will make better, logical sense and it will be more enjoyable to walk along Rideau Street.”

Pre-construction work was underway at Rideau Street at Friel Street on June 27 to prep for heavy construction on Rideau that began July 9.

Ex-Whitehaven resident to sing in King of Pop show Kristy Strauss

EMC entertainment - Jory Steinberg remembers how much she connected with Michael Jackson’s music at a young age. “He’s my first musical memory,” said Steinberg. “I would watch him all day long, watch the making of Thriller. I would sit there all day and memorize what he did.” Now, the 31-year-old is making sure that the pop singer’s legacy will remain alive for generations to come. She’s going to be performing as a backup singer for the upcoming Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour, in conjunction with Cirque de Soleil at Scotiabank Place July 24 and 25. “It was one of my dreams to work with Michael,” Steinberg said. “This is the closest I’ll come to it.” Steinberg, a former Whitehaven resident who attended Hillel Academy and Nepean High School, started singing at age 10 and quickly gained more exposure through her performances in Les Miserables, for governors general and at Ottawa Senators games. She got a record deal and moved to Los Angeles and had the opportunity to work with industry professionals who had in turn worked with the likes of Jackson, Eric Clapton and George Harrison.

Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour will be on stage at Scotiabank Place on July 24 and 25, and former Whitehaven resident Jory Steinberg will be among the cast members. When she got chosen for the upcoming Michael Jackson tribute tour, she said it was a dream come true. “I can honestly say Michael is the reason I’m in this industry,” Steinberg said. “I’m living my dream. I get paid to sing his music every night on stage. It’s an absolute joy to sing Michael’s music and pass along his message to the young and old.” That message is one of peace and love, Steinberg said.
“The lyrics are messages of all of that.” In addition to those messages, Steinberg said she also hopes the audience will walk away with a renewed love for the singer and his music. She said being one of the performers in the production is a huge responsibility borne by the entire cast, all who have been inspired by Jackson in some way. One of the songs Steinberg enjoys singing the most is Man

It’s so much fun to sing it and everybody knows the words.” One of the songs she’s found most challenging is learning the rhythms of Smooth Criminal. “It took a couple months,”

Exercise can help prepare you for labour, get you back to your pre-pregnancy body faster, and reduce pain throughout the entire experience. The good news is that women who are physically fit generally have less back pain during pregnancy. Your body will go through a lot of changes during the next 40 weeks, including: weight gain, an expansion of the rib cage, stretching of the abdominal muscles (sometimes to the limit by the 9th month!), and a loosening of ligaments throughout the body caused by your pregnancy hormones. This loosening of the ligaments causes joint laxity and can put 12
you at risk for injury in the low back, pelvis and legs. Gentle exercises such as swimming, walking, or use of a stationary bicycle can help keep you fit. Maintaining good posture, resting for short periods of time, and changing positions often, can all help reduce pain in the last trimester. Be sure to talk to your doctor before starting or continuing any exercise routine while pregnant. Your physiotherapist can also provide you with safe exercises and treatment options to help relieve pregnancy pains. Once given the go-ahead by your doctor, typically a few weeks after delivery of your baby, it will be

important to strengthen your core muscles. Continue your pregnancy exercise routine and then gradually return to your pre-pregnancy fitness routine. When in doubt, a physiotherapist can assess your areas of weakness and provide you with abdominal, back, or pelvic floor exercises.

Become the Sun ready for Bluesfest big time Kristy Strauss

EMC entertainment - Theepan Vijay said Become the Sun is not just the name of a band he plays in – it also describes the group’s evolution. “Become the Sun to me means striving for something in terms of growth and I feel we’ve achieved that as a band, in our evolution and our writing,” said Vijay, singer and guitarist with the band. Become the Sun has members from Westboro and the Little Italy area and they’ll be performing at Bluesfest July 13 at 7:30 p.m. on the Black Sheep Stage. Vijay has only one word to describe how he feels about playing at the city’s massive annual music festival. “Stoked,” he said. “So stoked.” Vijay, originally from North Carolina, said Become the Sun started about three or four years ago when he moved to Ottawa and started jamming with fellow bandmates bassist Matt Stobo, drummer Evan Camm, and guitarist Pat Kehoe. Become the Sun has since recorded a four-EP collection, with each EP named after the four elements: Fire, Water, Earth and Air. “Each one has a distinct sound, and we’re approaching it this way because it gives the band a chance to expand and build a repertoire of music,” Vijay said. He said the band has been influenced most recently by another band also playing at Bluesfest this year, Wintersleep. But he said members have also been influenced by bands they listened to growing up
including Soundgarden, Rage Against The Machine, Alice in Chains, and The Smashing Pumpkins. While they’re at Bluesfest, Vijay said he and the members are looking forward to checking out other performers like The Sheepdogs. The band won’t just be stopping at Bluesfest. Vijay said they will also be doing their
EMC entertainment - What started as a band that formed between old friends is set to take the Ottawa Bluesfest stage on July 12 – a gig Ian Manhire hopes takes the group to the next level. “We asked if we could play. We went out looking for it,” said Manhire, vocalist and guitar player for the Hintonburg-based White Wires. “It’s a big deal for a local band to put on a big show with a huge audience. There’s tons and tons of publicity, and it’s huge exposure for a local band.” Manhire, along with friends Luke Martin and Allie Hanlon, formed in September 2007 after Manhire moved back to Ottawa from Calgary. He said the three friends supported each other, especially the other bands each member was involved with prior to forming White Wires. He said the friends wanted to start a band together because they had a shared love of music. “We always wanted to be in a band together,” Manhire
said, adding the band has since put out two albums, Girly, Girly, Girly and WWII, and have a new album coming out this summer called WWIII. Manhire said the members’ biggest influences are local bands. “I’m a record collector and my interests are mostly in punk and new wave, and stuff that sort of never got its break,” he said. “Music that comes from people who really, really care about it.” At Bluesfest, Manhire said the band wanted to play “a bit from all over the place” including singles from older albums alongside selections from their forthcoming release. He said they had about 100 songs to choose from. “We’ve got 20 new ones,” he said. “We’ll try and play a chunk of everything – the new stuff and the golden oldies.” For more information and to hear some of White Wires’ music, visit their MySpace page at myspace.com/theewhitewires or visit their page on Facebook.

Building height transition key, residents say Continued from page 1
In an interview, Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs said improving the pedestrian experience in the neighbourhood is an important accomplishment with the area is set to evolve. “This neighbourhood has really changed over time … It’s set to continue on the west side if the bridge,” said Hobbs, a former Bayswater resident. While Hintonburg Community Association member Linda Hoad was irate that the city allowed the rezoning despite the site being split into two neighbourhoods (only one of which has a community design plan), city planners said the building would support transit use. The property at the corner of Breezehill Avenue, used to have an Asian grocery and now houses a Dollarama. But it’s within 600 metres of both the Bayview and LeBreton Transitway stations, and it’s sandwiched between alreadyvibrant neighbourhoods: Hintonburg to the west and Chinatown and Little Italy over the Somerset Bridge to the east. It’s an area ripe for something to enliven it, Lahey said. He described a building with a masonry facade a street level – a nod to the area’s industrial past. Inside, there will be lots of space for shops and restaurants, including outdoor area for a courtyard patio. Trees would dot the wider sidewalk and open up lots of space for a major public art piece at the corner, Lahey said. Devonshire Public School is right beside the future tower, so Lahey designed a series of townhomes built into the ground floor of the tower to give the building a more neighbourly feel as it faces the schoolyard.
Bayview Station after the city finalizes a community design plan for that area, expected this fall. Laurel Street resident Kevin Skerrett said he is a strong supporter of intensification, but argued that the proposed tower is too much density for that spot. He worried it would suck the character out of the neighbourhood. “I think there are good reasons for rules around transition (in building heights),” Skerrett said. “It’s not a density issue, it’s a transitional issue … This is wildly out of step from a compatibility point of view.” Cathy Kim, another resident who is also a traffic engineer, worried about pedestrian safety, especially for children like her own who are walking to Devonshire school. Hobbs said little during the meeting, but she asked what would need to be done if the city wanted to have the developer, Claridge Homes, submit a full traffic impact study as opposed to just a brief. In the end, Claridge’s lawyer Janet Bradley confirmed the developer was offering to do the study anyways. Hobbs said her biggest concern was the proximity of the school, so she asked the developer to hold meetings with a Devonshire parent group and she pushed for the traffic study.

t didn’t matter a whit that our family were Lutherans and that Mother still thought of herself as a Catholic – when the 12th of July rolled around, we practically closed down the farm and headed into Renfrew to celebrate with the hundreds of Orangemen who met once a year to observe the Glorious Twelfth. We would get up earlier than usual that day, so that we could finish the chores and be in town before the parade started. We wouldn’t be back until late in the day, so the chores had to be done and the livestock tended to. My sister Audrey and Mother would start to pack the lunch early. Sandwiches of roast beef and sliced chicken, hard-boiled eggs and raisin cookies were all packed in 11-quart baskets lined with clean white flour-bag tea towels. Honey pails would be filled with big chunks of ice from the ice house and tea, made the night before and left sitting on the back of the stove, poured in. The parade always started at the fair grounds, so that was where we headed with the old Model T. We always tried to park close to the gate, so we would have no trouble getting out when it was time to head home. We looked for a grassy spot which we would claim for the

Mary Cook’s Memories day. Mother would have taken one or two quilts, and these would be spread out on the grass, our lunch on top and another quilt wrapped around the lunch and tea to keep everything as cold as possible. For reasons which escape me today, we never got sick from food poisoning from a spoiled lunch. Back then, you could go off and leave your belongings on your chosen spot without fear of it being stolen. Often there would be a midway and we would wander through the fair grounds, knowing we could never take advantage of the rides or candy floss - there would be no money for such frivolities and we considered ourselves lucky just to be in Renfrew for the parade. It seemed to take forever for the bands to get lined up in proper order and as soon as they started to play and march out of the fair grounds, every eye would be turned towards the place where King Billy would be in the lineup. He always rode a white horse and its tail would have
been braided for the day with yellow and blue ribbons flying out behind. Everyone roared and clapped, even those who had absolutely no connection with the Orangemen. We usually knew who King Billy was because often he turned out to be a neighbour, but for that day he was someone very special and our hands ached from clapping when he passed by us on his white horse. Hundreds of people, not even part of the parade, dressed for the occasion. White suits, white dresses, white shoes and stockings and brilliant orange and blue sashes swathed across their chests. For years I begged Mother to let me go as an Orangeman, but to no avail - she told me to be satisfied to be

at the parade. Back then, the true significance of the day meant little to us children. We had Catholic neighbours who took the day off from farming just as we did. On that day, it was the parade that mattered, not which church you belonged to. We children thought we were pretty lucky to be able to go into Renfrew for the day, and leave the day chores behind us. We would wait until the entire parade passed the spot we had chosen to sit, which often took more than an hour. And then Mother would take the quilts off the basket of lunch and we would eat like we hadn’t had a meal in days. It always tasted better coming out of the basket than it did when it was just eaten around the old pine table in the kitchen back on the farm in Northcote. I could never figure that out and once I asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey, how that could be. Her answer made perfect sense to me. “Everything always tastes better when you are at a parade,” she’d say.

Hintonburg residents who spoke to the planning committee didn’t see it that way. Hoad said the city should have to fix the problems it created for itself when it created a boundary in the middle of the site with the new Wellington West Community Design Plan. While 25 per cent of the property is covered under that CDP and calls for heights of no more than six storeys, the rest of the site was in a zone that could have up to 15 metres. The zoning that was approved will allow for a building of 73 metres, or 23 storeys. The decision to require a “traditional main street” designation under the CDP on only the first 15 metres of the site allowed the city to follow the CDP only on a “cynical technicality,” Hoad said, and turned the case for the building from a planning rationale to a political motive. Hoad and other presenters at the meeting bemoaned the lost opportunity to approve a slightly shorter building that would have provided a transition between the low-rise buildings of Hintonburg to the west and the tall towers many anticipate will be built near

Push for Sunnyside Village BIA picks up pace Laura Mueller

EMC news - A proposed business group is needed in Old Ottawa South to attract businesses that will serve residents, advocates say, but not all merchants are convinced it’s such a good idea. If approved, the group, called a Business Improvement Area or BIA, would include the businesses along Bank Street between the two bridges and a stretch along Sunnyside Avenue from Bank Street to Seneca Street. All businesses within that area would have a

fee applied to their taxes and the money collected could be used for any activity that benefits the business area as a whole, such as advertising campaigns, seasonal decorating or events and lobbying politicians and attracting potential new businesses. While a city-run survey found only 3.2 per cent of business and property owners surveyed were opposed to the idea at the end of 2011, some businesses in the area have spoken out against it. When the survey was conducted, a large segment – 30 per cent – of the business and property owners surveyed were still undecided.

Sue Smith, owner of the Ottawa Antique Market, said she and many other merchants she knows are against the idea. “Most of the vendors on this street aren’t for it,” she said. Her main concern is the cost. The economy is still sluggish and it’s affecting sales for her business and other merchants. Furthermore, she said, she simply can’t see any benefit from such an organization. “I just don’t see how a street party is really going to do much,” she said.

opment project, said Arthur McGregor, owner of the Folklore Centre and one of the merchants pushing for the BIA. But he sees more benefits for both businesses and local residents. A BIA could lead the charge to promote intensified development along Bank Street in the same style as a mixed-use commercial and residential building at Grove Avenue that contains a coffee shop and stores at the ground level and residential units on the upper floors. The BIA would formalize a loose association of businesses that has existed in the area for a dozen years, McGregor said. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, who is also a resident of the area, is in support of the BIA. “For many reasons, the time has come for a BIA in Old Ottawa South,” he wrote in a city report. “I believe that the future strength and prosperity of this main street and the quality of life of Old Ottawa South would benefit greatly from a vibrant and well-organized business association who can speak with one strong voice.” Now that the city’s finance and economic development committee has approved its intent to designate the proposed BIA, it will need the support of the businesses representing at least two-thirds of the taxable area in the proposed BIA boundaries.

Four easy ways to give fresh fruit flavour appeal
W
e all enjoy one of the biggest benefits of summer – the availability of a wide variety of seasonal fresh fruit. Fruit can be served as a snack, an appetizer, a salad or a dessert. It’s generally quick and easy to prepare and can be served at any time of the day. While we often eat fresh fruit just as is, sometimes a few extras can give it a whole new flavour. Here are some suggestions to try. With some, I’ve given only approximate amounts so vary them to your taste. WATERMELON WITH FRESH MINT & FETA
• 1/4 red seedless watermelon, cubed • 3-4 fresh mint leaves, minced • 2-3 tbsp. crumbled feta cheese This has to be tasted to believe, the flavour is amazing. In a serving bowl, gently toss the watermelon cubes with the mint. Top with the feta cheese. Serve as an appetizer or salad. Serves two to four. HONEYED CANTALOUPE WITH BLUEBERRIES
24 hours 12 games 1 amazing cause
PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff • 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice • 2 tbsp. liquid honey • a pinch of cinnamon • 1 cup fresh blueberries • 3 cups cantaloupe melon, cubed in bite-sized pieces, then measured In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, honey and cinnamon together. Place the blueberries and cantaloupe cubes in a serving bowl, and toss gently with the dressing. Serve as a dessert. Serves four. You can substitute fresh raspberries for the blueberries for variety. BLUEBERRIES WITH ORANGE SHERBET
• 1 litre orange sherbet • 1-2 cups fresh blueberries This is quick and easy to prepare and makes a refreshing dessert on a hot summer
night. When you’re ready to serve dessert, scoop the sherbet into individual serving bowls. Scatter fresh blueberries over the sherbet. Serves four. STRAWBERRIES WITH SOUR CREAM & BROWN SUGAR
• 3 cups fresh strawberries • 1/2 cup sour cream (reduced fat) or plain yogurt • 4 tbsp. brown sugar For this recipe, you can use either light sour cream or plain yogurt. Wash and pit the berries. If they are small, leave them whole. If they are large, slice them. Divide the prepared berries among individual serving bowls. Top each serving with some of the sour cream or yogurt. Sprinkle a tablespoon of brown sugar on top. Serves four.

Autism clinic gets donation boost Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - An organization that provides help to autistic children received a funding boost recently thanks to a charity golf tournament run by an east-end law firm. QuickStart - Early Intervention for Autism was founded in 2008 by Suzanne Jacobson to offer potentially autistic children a head start. On July 3, the law firm of Bertschi Orth Smith handed over a cheque for $14,500 to help the organization run its programs. “We are very grateful for this donation,” Jacobson said. “We are a complete volunteer organization and without this support we would not be able to do what we do.” Jacobson learned first hand about the long waits that can be involved with an autism diagnosis when her first grandson, Alexander, began showing signs of delayed development. Inspired by her grandson and determined to not leave any child behind, Jacobson contacted the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre and within 13 months, QuickStart’s Getting Started Services Clinic was born. One of the law firm’s partners, David Bertschi, said it was an important cause to support. “It is a pleasure for our staff and firm and partners to raise money for a really important cause and a program with direct results,” Bertschi said. “(Hearing about) the wait times and the treatment times, it was quite obvious that there was a need to detect and treat children in the National Capital Region who have a diagnosis. These kids are getting diagnosed sooner.” When a child’s development begins to slow or change, Jacobson said, parents rightfully become concerned. The programs offered through QuickStart don’t offer a diagnosis, but begin bringing out a child’s potential. “When a child is showing signs of a developmental delay, it is very important to get in the help right way. It becomes detrimental, becomes ingrained,” Jacobson said. “Because most of the children are male, doctors say, ‘Well, boys develop slower.’ You are scrambling, worrying, and your doctor says ‘Let’s wait and see.’” In four years since QuickStart began, the volunteer organization has raised more than $200,000 for the Getting Started Services Clinic. The clinic has seen over 800 children to date, all at no cost to the families. Overall, 75 to 80 per cent of the children who attend the clinic end up being diagnosed with autism. Jacobson’s second grandson, Nathan was also diagnosed with autism, but unlike his older brother, Nathan received help right away. “There are differences, it is not fair to compare, but I always wonder, in my heart, had we known what we knew to do for Nathan, would it have been different for Alex?” Jacobson said. “And that is hard. And I don’t want any other child to
CARLING AVENUE IS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR LIGHT RAIL On June 27th, City Council directed staff to look at all options for expanding light rail into western Ottawa, including Carling Avenue. I believe that my council colleagues made the right choice by not giving up on Carling Avenue for light rail.

Suzanne Jacobson, centre, the founder of QuickStart - Early Intervention for Autism, accepts a donation of $14,500 from Debbie Orth, third from right, and David Bertschi of Bertschi Orth Smith LLP on July 3. have that. And that is the essence (of QuickStart) get them in early give them the opportunities.” At age five, Nathan is no longer in therapy and just completed kindergarten. Jacobson said he is considered a high functioning autistic boy. At the age of eight, Alexander is doing well and is definitely making great gains, she added. Bertschi said the law firm made the choice to donate to the charity because beyond the
help it offers the children, the organization also offers support and programs for the parents to take advantage of. A respite program for parents of children diagnosed with autism allows parents to take a small getaway at a local hotel. “Parents are just so grateful,” Jacobson said. “The hotel just treats them so well, it gives them time for one another and as much as one could, forget about their troubles for one day, but remain close enough
if they need to go home, they can.” The respite program offers daycare while the parents are away. Jacobson said donations such as the one provided by the law firm are instrumental in helping the small organization grow and build programming such as the respite program. Over the past two years, the firm has raised $24,800 for the charity through their golf tournament.

p I have proposed using light rail on Carling Avenue for both commuters and local transit users. Express trains during rush hour will allow commuters to quickly travel downtown without building two separate light rail lines. One light rail line will be quicker to build and less expensive.

FIXING DISABLED PARKING PERMIT FRAUD inc Disabled parking permit fraud is an increasing problem in Ottawa and fraudulent use of disabled parking permits hurts people who truly need to use disabled parking spaces. That’s why I have asked City of Ottawa staff to investigate how we can reduce disabled parking permit fraud. I have proposed that disabled parking permits p describe whether the permit holder’s disability is visible, such as an amputee, or non-visible, such as a heart condition. This would be one more way for parking enforcement officers to make sure only valid permit holders are using disabled parking permits.

During his visit Ryan will spend his time at OSU holding training sessions for our players as well as, in conjunction with OSU’s newly appointed Head Coach of Player Development from Everton FC Paul Harris, giving a seminar to our coaches. OSU players and coaches will benefit greatly from this unique opportunity to learn from the philosophy and player development program of one of the top clubs in the world. “ Manchester United is globaly renowned over the years for producing “in-house” soccer talent that graduates (Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, Welbeck, etc) to play with the famed Manchester United FC team. This is a unique opportunity for the OSU coaches to learn directly from the people that operate this Academy. We are also pleased to hear that other non-OSU coaches from other soccer clubs in Ottawa will be participating in this exclusive seminar with Neil Ryan” said OSU President, Bill Michalopulos.

CHEO launches new mental health website Ottawa West EMC staff
EMC news – The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario saw the largest demand ever for its mental health services in the 201112 fiscal year, prompting the hospital to launch a mental health website on July 9. Hospital administration says the past year has been the busiest year in CHEO’s almost 40 year history. CHEO has seen an almost 50 per cent increase in the number of visits to the emergency department for mental health-related crises in the last two years, and an 86 per
cent increase in outpatient referrals. As a result, the hospital said more than 760 children and youth are on the waiting list to see a CHEO clinician and wait times have increased from about two or three months, to six to 12 months. High-risk behaviours – including imminent suicide risks – are also increasing among children brought to the hospital. That number jumped 22 per cent, the hospital said. CHEO suggests the increase is at least partially caused by the removal of the
stigma surrounding mental illness, which has prompted more parents to seek assistance. According to CHEO, the new website is designed to provide children, youth and families with tools to encourage healthy discussion of the topic. “Although we still have a ways to go before talking about your mental illness is like talking about your cancer or your asthma, one thing is clear,” Alex Munter, president and chief executive officer, CHEO said in a statement. “The world is changing. And
Ottawa Centre
this is a good thing. “With early intervention and treatment we can change the entire trajectory of young people’s lives forever altering both their physical and mental health and their life expectations.” CHEO, the Royal and the Youth Services Bureau are working with other community organizations to expand the reach of mental health services, reduce wait lists, identify critical gaps and help more families in the community.

Green Energy in Ontario With summer upon us, many of us will be thinking about the energy and electricity that will be used to keep cool when the temperature starts to rise. I encourage everyone to consider how we can conserve energy – small changes, like keeping your curtains drawn during the day and washing your laundry in cold water, can make a big difference! Our government is also committed to developing clean, renewable sources of energy that will provide Ontario with a reliable and sustainable supply of electricity. Ontario is the largest province in Canada, with the biggest industrial and manufacturing base and we need a modern stable and clean energy system that supports our growing economy. Since 2003, we have invested $3.7 billion in the upgrading and diversification of our energy system, bringing over 8,000 new MW online – that is more than 20 per cent of our current energy capacity, and is enough electricity to power cities the size of Ottawa and Toronto for a year. It also includes 1,400 MW of renewable energy, enough to power more than 400,000 homes. We recently completed the first bi-annual review of the Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) Program, during which we consulted with families, businesses, First Nations, municipalities and industry. We are now taking immediate steps to ensure the long-term sustainability of renewable energy while creating more jobs, lowering prices and giving communities a greater say in the process. We are acting quickly to implement all of the recommendations highlighted in the review, which include: •
•
•
Reducing prices to balance the interests of all Ontarians, while continuing to encourage investment – FIT prices will be reduced by more than 20 per cent for solar and approximately 15 per cent for wind, while prices for water, biogas, biomass and landfill gas will remain at current levels; Encouraging greater community and Aboriginal participation through a new priority point system, which will also prioritize projects with municipal support; Reserving 10 per cent of remaining capacity for projects with significant participation from local or Aboriginal communities; and
I am proud that our province’s clean energy sector continues to evolve; we are now positioned to become a global leader in clean energy knowledge and products. I am also pleased to see the success of solar microFIT projects right here in Ottawa Centre – we see solar panels on homes, church roofs and businesses. Building a clean energy system is part of the our government’s plan to create and support jobs for Ontario families while ensuring we have the electricity we need to power our homes, schools and hospitals. For more information about green energy in Ontario, please visit www.ontario.ca/greenenergy or www.yasirnaqvimpp.ca, or call me at my Community Office at 613-722-6414.

New to Nepean exhibit on at Ben Franklin Place Brier Dodge

Cracking down on bogus refugee claimants
EMC news - English as a second language students at St. Puis X High School have created artwork about their personal immigration stories for a show at Ben Franklin Place. New to Nepean: Celebrating Nepean’s Newest Settlers is on display until July 25 at the Atrium Gallery at Ben Franklin Place. Students were asked to create an art work that reflect their own personal stories about coming to Canada, and add a written component. “They let me into their lives
Communities like Barrhaven and Riverside South are growing rapidly, partly because many new immigrants are moving into these areas. The refugees in these communities have come from dire circumstances to start new lives in Canada, and our government is ensuring that these hard-working, legitimate refugees continue to see Canada as a safe haven. The recent changes to the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) will weed out the people who attempt to abuse the generosity and hospitality of our nation. There is no change in Interim Federal Health coverage for treatments affecting public health and public safety. Treatment, including prescription medications, will continue to be provided to all refugee claimants for infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV, and for other medications necessary to protect public health and safety, such as anti-psychotic drugs. Furthermore, there are no changes to primary health care for the vast majority of refugee claimants, who will continue to have access to the full range of basic doctor and hospital services that all Canadians receive through their provincial health care system. This includes treatment for chronic disease. Most importantly, all refugee claimants are provided, free of charge, an Immigration Medical Exam, which screens claimants for disease and provides the preventative health care that some critics claim is being lost. As soon as a refugee claimant is found to be a genuine refugee, he or she has access to the full benefits of the provincial health care system. Bogus asylum seekers, including those whose claims have been rejected but who refuse to leave Canada, will no longer receive, at taxpayer expense, enhanced health services such as eye and dental coverage that are unavailable to many ordinary Canadians. Finally, “asylum seekers” from safe countries, such as the liberal democracies of the European Union or the United States, will no longer continue to receive the full range of basic and supplemental health care coverage, though they will still receive urgent or essential medical care. These changes go hand in hand with the introduction of reforms to speed up the processing of asylum claims from safe countries, meaning that these asylum seekers will have their claims heard in a matter of weeks, rather than years, as is currently the case. Health coverage for these claimants is, therefore, only a short interim measure. These are reasonable, measured changes to stop the abuse of Canada’s generous and overburdened health care system by bogus asylum claimants, especially those who have been rejected but prefer to enjoy generous welfare and health care benefits that even honest, hard-working Canadians do not receive.
by sharing those stories with me,” Andrea Raymond, education manager at the Nepean Museum. “I was so inspired by their courage and their strength.” Raymond collaborated with the class to put together the exhibit, which will come to the Nepean Museum after July 25. While approximately 20 pieces of work will have small descriptions displayed at Ben Franklin, a full book of the accompanying stories will be at the Nepean museum. One of the pieces is by Christopher Regpala, who immigrated to Canada from the
Phillipines. His picture shows a combination of Filipino and Canadian celebrations and holidays, and includes the Stanley Cup. In his description, he said events like Canada Day help new citizens understand Canadian culture. Several students integrated maps into their pictures, and included advice they’d give future immigrants. “A lot of the advice was in regards to the weather,” Raymond said. “And many of them talked about the long plane ride, and how friendly everyone is here.”

The students come from countries including Philippines, Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The Nepean Museum does an exhibit at the Atrium Gallery every year, and this year decided to partner with St. Puis and teacher Jennifer Goldsmith to create the gallery. The works range from coloured pictures to photo collages and sculptures. “It took a lot of courage for them to be part of the project,” Raymond said. The exhibit opened on July 6 and will have the opening reception on July 12 at 6 p.m.

Mysterious twist on small-town Newfoundland Michelle Nash
familiarity with this particular town allowed Martin to add a great deal of local colour to the novel. Readers are taken through the winding, narrow streets of a town that hugs the northern coast of the Burin Peninsula and are exposed to the town’s gossip mill situated at the local cafe and wharf-side benches full of old timers, affectionately known in the town as the “Liar’s Club.” “There are pieces in the book that people from Grand Bank will love,” Martin said. “It is a story about a crime, a mystery, but it also is about

found it much harder to publish his fiction novel. “Fiction is much more difficult, mostly because there are more people writing and less people publishing,” he said. Martin ended up working with a local publishing company, Baico Books, which is located in Centretown. The store offers authors like Martin the option of splitting the costs of publishing to help get their books on the shelves. The book is available at Baico Books at 294 Albert St., online at Chapters, on the book’s website at www.walkeronthecape.com.

EMC entertainment - A new mystery novel from an Ottawa author takes the reader to a small-town in Newfoundland where local culture and community play a significant role in solving the caper. Author Mike Martin grew up in St. John’s, N.L., and moved to Ottawa in 1985 to work. The Old Ottawa East resident is currently a labour relations consultant by day, but has written a number of short stories and done freelance writing over the years. Referring to writing as his escape and true passion, The Walker on the Cape is Martin’s second book and first novel. It pays homage to his home province by setting the scene in the fishing community of Grand Bank. “Every year we spend a lot of time in Grand Bank and the truth is not a lot of people know anything about the town,” Martin said of annual trips he takes to Newfoundland with his partner. “It was an opportunity to tell a bit of the history of Grand Bank and write a good mystery.” The book’s main character is RCMP Sgt. Winston Windflower, a Cree from northern Alberta. Windflower finds himself stationed in Grand Bank and at first, Martin explains, is very much out of his element.

Martin published his first book, a work of non-fiction, through a company in the United States and said he

Pet Adoptions PET OF THE WEEK RAPHAEL ID#A142138
Max is a neutered male, black and white Domestic Shorthair cat who is about seven years old. Max came to the shelter on April 23 but is now available for adoption. This beautiful boy is declawed on his front paws and he loves to roll around on the floor while you pet him. He has a patient and easy going disposition: he gets along well with other cats and he has lived with rabbits previously. Max would rather not live with really young children as he prefers a quieter environment with a family who can respect when he needs “alone time.”
Hello, my name is Shadow. I am a 2 year old Poodle-Terrier mix who loves running in the backyard, going camping, playing with my master Ariane and stealing her toys. My pet-parents take good care of me; I was pretty shy at first when they got me but, after taking some training classes, I listen well and am now a good dog.
Meet Raphael, an unaltered male, orange and white American Shorthair guinea pig. He is about nine months old and was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on April 11. Raphael loves to speak and squeak his mind! Pay him a visit and he will charm you with his conversation skills. He’s a social butterfly who solicits attention from anyone willing to listen and give him some affection. Guinea pigs are talkative and entertaining creatures that enjoy a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables as treats. They love to be where the action is and become part of a routine in the home where they can join in the conversation and sing you a song or two. To find out more about owning a guinea pig, contact the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www.ottawahumane.ca
OPERATION: FOREVER HOME The Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) is urging people to consider adding to their family because the Adoption Centre is full of furry and feathered friends needing homes. With more animals than ever before in the shelter, and more arriving each day, there is no room in the Adoption Centre for new adoptable dogs and cats. Animals in the holding area can’t be moved into the more spacious Adoption Centre for the public to see until some of the current adoptables move out. The dog pods in the Adoption Centre are all occupied with dogs of all sizes, shapes and ages – with one thing in common – they’re all looking for a forever home! “The summer is a great time to
welcome a dog into the family,” said Bruce Roney, OHS Executive Director. “Everyone is outdoors biking, riding, hiking: all activities you can enjoy with your dog. The family is together and can take the time to welcome and bond with their new pet.” There are nearly 100 cats available for adoption at the West Hunt Club Facility as well as throughout the city at PAL (Pet store Adoption Location) partners. Through July, the OHS is actively promoting cat adoption. During this period, for people who adopt one adult cat (six months or older) from its 245 West Hunt Club Road location, the adoption fee will be waived on a second adult cat adopted. The OHS has cats available at several of its Pet store Adoption
Anyone interested in adopting a cat can visit the OHS Adoption Centre, weekdays 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pictures and profiles of adoptable cats are also featured online at www.ottawahumane.ca. The OHS currently has about 40 small animals and birds looking for new homes. There is a pet for everyone at the OHS – large, small, furry or feathered. Please spread the word and tell your friends to take visit our Adoption Centre. You might meet your new best friend!
