EMC news - Don’t take Carling Avenue off the table for a light-rail line, city councillors told their staff advisers on June 27. Following public opposition to a report that narrowed potential light-rail routes down to four options – three of which include parts of the Byron-Richmond corridor – councillors directed staff to keep looking at all 15 options that were originally examined. The question is how lightrail will join Tunney’s Pasture to Baseline Station. A May 30 city staff report indicated that the four options for a primary western LRT line were the “top corridors” and that one of them would eventually be chosen as the line to be built. But deputy city manager Nancy Schepers told council on June 27 that “nothing is being taken off the table.” “The 15 options all remain on the table,” she said, adding, “We will spend more time on some options that appear to be more viable than others.” That drew jeers from a group of residents in the audience who were holding signs reading No LRT on ByronRichmond. It also caused confusion around the council table and led several councillors to ask See ROUTE, page 5

EMC news -The mere thought of a 25 to 30 storey condo tower built on the old Humane Society property at 101 Champagne Ave. has neighbours feeling “nervous.” “We feel threatened by what you’re doing,” one resident told representatives from the developer, Ashcroft Homes, and architect Ritchard Brisbin at a public meeting on
June 28. “But we’re feeling nervous. Soon it’ll be 40 or 50 storey buildings. What will our community be like in 15 years?” Brisbin gave an overview of what the development could look like. He said it would have surrounding park space and about 250 to 300 units – homes he hopes would be aimed at young families. “The type of units being sold are small,” he said.
“We’re trying to build for families and not for investment properties.” Paul Rothwell of Ashcroft Homes said the sizes of the units will attract a different mix of people to the neighbourhood. “The variation of sizes in the building will attract a different mix,” Rothwell said. “There will be a mix of buyers.” Brisbin added some sun
shadow studies suggested there would be a “very small” impact on the existing neighbourhood. “The shadow studies are for 28 storeys, but I could go to 50 or 15, and the impact is pretty much the same,” Brisbin said. While residents said they’re in favour of intensification, they questioned what See NEW, page 5

Reaction mixed to proposed Kolbus centre re-development Plans include moving parking lot, adding fitness facility, more program room space Kristy Strauss

EMC news - Residents learned that a new second floor, fitness facility and upgraded rooms for program space are just some of the ideas being proposed for a redeveloped Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre in Bay Ward.

Bay Ward residents checked out plans for the redevelopment of the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre at a public consultation that took place on June 26.

“This is very much about taking canvass and starting to paint on it,” said Bay Coun. Mark Taylor as he opened the public consultation meeting at the centre on June 26. The meeting brought together community members and city staff who took down resident’s feedback as part of the redevelopment process. “It’s over 50 years old and has never undergone a renovation,” said Kevin Jones of the city’s parks and recreation department told residents. “We’re trying to maximize the benefit of the facility without http link here increasing its footprint.” Taylor said Bay Ward doesn’t have a large recreation space like in Barrhaven’s Walter Baker Centre or the Nepean Sportsplex, but that the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre provides something even better. “Here, not everything is in walls,” Taylor said. “This is like a resort.” The proposals included a new parking lot that would be situated about 100 metres from the building, with a drop off spot for seniors and those who are disabled. The current parking lot would be used as greenspace. Other ideas included a winter ice rink and upgraded space for programs. Having space for programs and a fitness facility is especially important, said Taylor, because the Carlingwood Y is closing later this month.
Taylor said some of the infrastructure needs upgrading at the community centre anyways, like the stage. While some residents thought the plans looked good, others had issues with moving the parking from its current location because of the distance and concerns about the removal of trees. Taylor said he wouldn’t want to see trees removed either, and moving the parking lot would require a more intensive look. Members of The Lakeside Players theatre group also spoke up to make sure that the stage would still be intact and others residents offered suggestions, such as the possibility of an indoor pool. “When I think of a successful community space, I think of Dovercourt,” said one resident. “They have programming for families, and the pool is a big part of that.” Community member Mohammed Sofa offered a suggestion of providing more picnic space to residents. “We have quite a bit of space around the trolly station, and it’s used a lot by the community for picnics – especially the lower income communities,” Sofa said, adding it would be nice to see an open space with benches gatherings. Taylor said all the feedback form the evening would be looked at, including feedback they collect over the next month.

New smoking ban includes public use of water pipes City expands new bylaw to cover use of hookahs, shisha at parks, beaches Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Water pipes and other smoking implements are now banned from city properties, including parks and beaches. The move is an addition to the recent expansion of the city’s Smoke-Free Ottawa bylaw, which bans cigarette smoking on city property. The increasing popularity of water pipes, also known as hookahs or shisha, led the city’s health board and council to direct Ottawa Public Health to draft a way to ban the devices on public
sites. While the tobacco ban applies to restaurant and bar patios, the non-tobacco smoking ban does not extend to businesses that offer hookah smoking on their patios. Although shisha can contain tobacco, for the most part it is composed of herbal substances. Still, the smoke from the heated material can irritate the eyes, noses and throats of passersby, according to a public health report. Council passed the bylaw on June 27. It means that carrying any

Kenilworth is one of the streets in the Civic Hospital neighbourhood where neighbours say suspicious incidents and break-ins have happened in the last few weeks.
West-end community issues warning after string of break-ins kristy.strauss@metroland.com
EMC news - A number of suspicious incidents happening in the Civic Hospital neighbourhood has the area’s community association warning residents to stay alert. “It’s a bit disturbing,” said Amanda Farris, head of the Civic Hospital Neighbourhood Association. “They seem to be targeting homes that have cars. That doesn’t seem to be a deterrent that there’s a car in the driveway.” The community recently posted a number of incidents on their website, including stories of break-ins on Reid Avenue, Fairmont Avenue and an attempted break-in on Orrin Avenue where the residents were home and chased the intruder off. There have also been other odd encounters, including a resident near Fairmont Park who said a young man came to the door asking for a glass of water. While the homeowner was suspicious, she locked the door and returned with a glass of water and asked the man why he was thirsty. He said he had been out running, while
another young man stood in the driveway texting on his phone. Farris said when strange people are caught on homeowners’ properties, they seem to have odd excuses. One man went to a door on Hickory Street earlier in the month and asked for an asthma puffer for his eightyear-old daughter. “I’m not aware of this volume of incidents happening before,” said Farris, adding she remembers a couple years ago when residents on the other side of Parkdale Avenue who had people trying to enter homes using ladders. While Farris hasn’t had an incident happen at her home, she said she had experienced broken windows at her house. “I wouldn’t say fear,” she said, referring to how the community feels about the recent incidents. “It’s more disconcerting.” Farris said the community has tried to reach out to their local police representative. Some in the community are hoping to get additional police surveillance in the area. The neighbourhood as-
sociation has also posted descriptions of some of the suspicious individuals. The individual who asked for the asthma puffer is described as a white male in his late 40s or early 50s with a tan, short salt-and-pepper hair, approximately five-foot-10 and 150 pounds. He was wearing a torn neon green t-shirt and introduced himself as Tom Jr. He also drove a dark green convertible and had also approached the neighbour across the street that morning. The individual who came to the door near Fairmont Park asking for water is described as a young man, slim, with slightly red-blonde hair and about 18-years-old. The other young man with him is also described as about the same age, with dark hair and also slim. The community association advises residents to ensure their doors and windows are always locked, tell their neighbours if they’re going to be out of town, and not to open your door to strangers. “It’s always good to be prepared,” Farris said.

“lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe, or any other lighted or heated smoking equipment used to smoke any tobacco or nontobacco substance” is not allowed on city-owned properties. That means the ban also includes drugs such as marijuana. The city report identifies two grounds under which the new bylaw could be contested in court: someone could claim that water-pipe use should be allowed for cultural reasons (it’s a popular pastime in the Middle East) and medical marijuana users could argue that it violates their rights under the Federal Marihuana Medical Access Regulations, part of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

Hintonburg could introduce roundabouts Kristy Strauss
kristy.strauss@metroland.com
Kristy Strauss
Jeff Leiper, head of the Hintonburg Community Association, stands at the corner of Hamilton and Tyndall where a new mini roundabout is being proposed.
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
Mom, can we go to another one?
EMC news - Drivers, pedestrians and cyclists traveling through Hintonburg may experience something new at the intersections of Hamilton and Tyndall avenues, as well as Hinton and Tyndall avenues, in the near future: mini roundabouts. “This is a result of recommendations made in 1997 that relate to traffic calming on Tyndall,” said Jeff Leiper, head of the Hintonburg Community Association. “(The city) didn’t have the budget back then to do this, but now with new bicycle improvements, they have a budget and approval to use roundabouts if people want them.” Leiper, who also lives a few doors down from one of the intersections where a new roundabout is being proposed, said currently Hamilton Avenue is used as a cut through for traffic that’s trying to bypass the congested intersection at Gladstone and Parkdale. “It’s absolutely jammed,” said Leiper. Instead of cycling improvements, he said the roundabouts would actually be a traffic calming measure. According to a recent speed study he saw of the areas, he said people are traveling around 48 kilometres an hour or under. “If they can slow down traffic to 25 kilometres an hour, there’s an exponential reduction of a pedestrian being killed.” While Leiper said he
doesn’t know of any pedestrian accidents in at least the past three years, he sees the new mini roundabouts as a proactive measure. While the roundabouts have its positive aspects, Leiper said the community has a “luke warm” reaction to them. The mini roundabouts would need to include a crosswalk to help pedestrians in the area, he said, especially since there are a lot of children in the area. “There are a crazy number of kids living here, and you see people crossing all the time,” he said. Leiper said the community was surprised to see the plans for the new roundabouts, adding the community association is trying to arrange a meeting with the city so more residents know about them and the implications. “My first overall impression is they’re nice to have and would have a benefit if the budget is there,” he said. The idea is being introduced at a time when the area is expecting to see much more traffic on the roads as more condos are being built, Leiper said, even though city planners say most of the condo owners will be transit-oriented. “What we do know is the area will have a lot more traffic moving forward,” he said. For more information on the new roundabouts and other traffic measure proposals, visit the Hintonburg Community Association’s website at: hintonburg.com.

Sleeker Soho Italia gets committee’s approval laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - What was set to become a debate over how tall buildings should be allowed to rise on Preston Street instead became a forum to discuss Ottawa’s bland architecture. In the end, the city’s planning committee approved a proposal for Soho Italia, a 30storey condo tower and mixeduse building, but one that featured a drastically different design than the standout, wavy tower inspired by Chicago’s Aqua building, put forward about a year ago by architect Roderick Lahey on behalf of Mastercraft Starwood. “It’s not really worthy of the location,” Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said during the planning committee’s June 26 meeting. When it was first proposed, the wave
shapes the balconies created around the tower made an impressive statement and echoed nearby Dow’s Lake, which the luxury condos are meant to have views of. Other planning committee members didn’t mince words. Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said he would rather see a taller building, even 50 or 60 storeys, if it had a stronger design. “This is a rectangle. I can design a rectangle,” Blais said before voicing the lone vote of dissent against the proposal. While Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs said she was disappointed to see the waves gone, she said the redesigned podium at the tower’s base is far more important. Originally Lahey included a multi-storey above-ground parking garage at the base of the tower, a feature the city’s

for “clarity” about the process and when route options would be narrowed down. Staff’s recommendation of a top route won’t come until mid-2013, Schepers said. Mayor Jim Watson said it is important for the city to focus on getting shovels into the ground for the downtown light-rail tunnel before finalizing how to get rail to the west end of the city. The redirection seemed to hinge on recent discussions between the mayor and NCC chairwoman Marie Lemay. The NCC’s willingness to entertain the city’s preferred route along the Ottawa River Parkway has been a sticking point. The parkway falls under the NCC’s control. Watson said he’s had “productive” discussions recently with Lemay. “Both (the city and the NCC) acknowledged the need to integrate and align their policies, especially in areas of shared jurisdiction,” Watson said, adding both bodies want to “meet each other’s goals with a common approach.” That led to a motion from transportation committee chairwoman, Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, to alter the timelines for the western LRT corridor study to allow the city and NCC to align plans both jurisdictions have in the works. Among studies now underway are the NCC’s Horizon 2067 plan for the capital, the NCC’s capital urban lands master plan as well as interim results from the city’s updates to its transportation master plan, which outlines goals and routes for roads and transit. As the city continues to look at all options for western LRT, Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs asked staff to consider digging a tunnel along Richmond Road so that area doesn’t lose the road width intended as a cycling route, and to reduce the noise impact on surrounding homes. She sug-
planning staff was not keen on. They worked with Lahey for more than a year to put the parking underground and create a mixed-use podium at the base that will create more visual interest for a stronger streetscape, said city planner Alain Miguelez. “This works better for the people who live in this area … (We are) working to have a sense of community with every building,” Hobbs said. “It is not (a poor design). It is what we are fighting for in our downtown.” Ottawa is ready for iconic architecture, such as what Lahey originally proposed, Miguelez added, but the architect switched gears and changed to a sleeker design about a year ago. While the older proposal was “bold and aggressive,”
Submitted by Roderick Lahey Architects
The original designs for Soho Italia, at left, were altered to the version at the right before planning committee approved the zoning on June 26. Lahey said the new one is more “elegant.” He said he changed the designs because he wanted it to be sensitive to the traditional main street of Preston Street and how it is set to evolve as other tall buildings, such as Claridge’s proposed Icon
building across the street, move into the neighbourhood. “Sometimes the battle over modernist and clean architecture becomes a discussion over bland (buildings), which is unfortunate,” Lahey said adding that he wants Soho
Italia to look timeless. These debates are something the city needs to have in this “new era of discussion” about the height of towers, Miguelez said. “A project like this is about much more than building height.”
Presto contracts reviewed but not stamped: lawyer Laura Mueller

gested a “cut and cover” type tunnel might be feasible and asked staff to include that idea in their research. Cut and cover tunnels are generally shallow and do not require expensive tunnel-boring technology but some pipes and wires that are close to the surface may need to be relocated. Hobbs also wants staff to consider adding another LRT station west of Dominion station. That would make LRT a transit option for people in that area and not just for commuters from the far west end to get to downtown, she said. Meanwhile, another councillor whose ward is affected by the western LRT corridor, Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, was adamant he wants the primary line to go on Carling Avenue. That arterial road is slated for a development-boosting secondary rail line with more frequent stops, but Taylor said he is happy to hear that city staff will continue to look at the possibility of running the high-speed primary rail line on Carling.
EMC news - Lawyers did advise on draft contracts for Ottawa’s Presto smart card transit payment system, the city’s top lawyer said. But Rick O’Connor can’t say whether lawyers from his office signed off on final version of the documents because they weren’t initialed or “stamped.” The Presto file has been plagued by controversy, first with the announcement on June 20 that its implementation would have to be delayed for seven months until next February. A recent revelation that the final smart card contracts hadn’t received a lawyer’s stamp led Mayor Jim Watson to move a motion asking legal staff to ensure such measures must be taken for all future contracts. “There appeared to be some confusion about whether there was sign off or not,” said transit commission chairwoman, Diane Deans. “So I think the motion today is to provide clarity into the future – that everyone will understand that legal has not signed off until
File photo
The city can get out of its contract with the failing Presto smart card system, lawyers confirmed. But transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans said she would prefer not to pursue that. the stamp and the initials are there.” That motion gained council’s approval on June 26, minus a clause that specifically called out the lack of oversight on the part of former OC Transpo general manager Alain Mercier, who was fired by the city earlier this year. Mercier spoke out in the media last week to defend his track record on the file. He told both the Ottawa Sun and Ottawa Citizen that he and his staff followed the rules coun-
cil outlined for how to execute the Presto contract. O’Connor admitted that it was a failure on the part of his office to ensure the final contract had legal’s signoff. The so-called “stamp” from legal is not unlike an engineer’s stamp of approval, O’Connor said. The inclusion of a lawyer’s initials ensures that all the “i’s” are dotted and “t’s” are crossed, O’Connor said.
For the most part, O’Connor said the Presto contract provided to Ottawa reflected similar contracts that were negotiated in other southern Ontario cities where provincial agency Metrolinx has implemented its Presto program. O’Connor cleared up something else that was a concern for city council: the city does have the ability to terminate its agreement with Presto and Metrolinx if it needs to. But Deans said the city is still gung-ho for the Presto card because it will be a good solution to make transit riders’ lives easier, she said. “We think it will serve our customers in Ottawa very well,” Deans said. “We’ve had some challenges in having it work, so I just wanted to ask and get clarity so that if we were at a point in the future where we didn’t have a working cards, is there an opportunity to exit the partnership, and the answer is yes.” But the city isn’t at that point yet, and hopefully it will never come to that, Deans said.

Swim into summer with the help of Ottawa’s swim advisories A no-swim advisory may ruin your plans to cool off during a hot summer day at one of Ottawa’s four City beaches, however these are issued to protect your health when there is poor water quality. Poor water quality means that the beach water contains a high level of bacteria that may increase a swimmer’s risk of developing skin, eye, ear, nose and throat infections. Ingestion of water with high levels of bacteria may cause health issues such as gastrointestinal illnesses. Every day during the beach season, Ottawa Public Health samples water from Britannia, Westboro, Mooney’s Bay and Petrie Island beaches for the presence of E.coli bacteria. When elevated levels of E.coli are detected in the water, other organisms that can pose a risk to your health are likely present. Ottawa’s Medical Officer of Health has the authority to issue a no-swim advisory. Beaches are most often closed due to bacteria levels over 200 E.coli per 100 mL of water tested, or over 100 E.coli per 100 mL of water tested for two or more consecutive days.

Protecting our watersheds requires support from communities all across Eastern Ontario. What happens in one part of the watershed affects other communities. Some of the factors that can pollute a beach include: • Heavy rains causing increased runoff of contaminants from land into the storm sewers, which flow directly in nearby streams and rivers.

Strength training for seniors How do you get started? Unfortunately, as we age we lose much of the muscle mass we had in our twenties. In fact, by about age 70 to 80, seniors have lost 40-50% of the muscle mass and strength they had in their 20s. Less muscle mass makes every day things like lifting groceries, pushing lawnmowers, going up and down stairs and getting up from a chair harder to do.
If you would like to start working on your strength at home, call the Ottawa Public Health Information Line listed below for information about the Get Moving: Active Sitting DVD, available for a small fee. This 30 minute program is easy to follow, and comes with a user’s guide demonstrating exercises if you are not very active or have just started exercising. You can also borrow the DVD for free from your local library.
As you get older, Strength training, also called resistance training or weight lifting, slows the loss of muscle, keeps you strong and helps make every day activities easier. Strength training means exercising your muscles against resistance or gravity. The more you repeat an exercise and the more weight you lift, the stronger your muscle becomes.
If you prefer to exercise in a gym, call 211 or visit ottawa.ca to find a local recreation center or City of Ottawa Senior’S Centre. Private health clubs also have these types of activities. If you are a gym member, ask about adding some strength training to your routine.
Research shows that strength training also helps to: · Reduce your risk of falls · Improve balance and posture · Promote healthier bones

Stay safe, stay alive on water this summer
H
owever you choose to spend time this summer, remember to keep safety in mind – especially if those plans include time on the water. The Canadian Safe Boating Council has issued a notice calling on more of us to take more seriously the issue of personal flotation devices (PFDs), better known as life preservers or life jackets. Every few days each
summer – especially after weekends – there are sad stories to be told about another Canadian losing their life to drowning. We’re a nation of rivers, lakes and streams, and so many of us love getting out on the water. Too many of us – whether out for a day of fishing, canoeing or pleasure boating – still choose to head out without either wearing a PFD or having the requisite number of life jackets on
board. The end result, as the organization outlines, can be tragic. The question, of course, is why? Why do so many adults not wear this potentially lifesaving gear? Many likely feel they are strong enough swimmers to overcome any unforeseen situation. But whether it’s a strong undertow or the shock of hitting cold water causing what the council refers to as “gasp reflex,” there’s really
no way of knowing how one will react once overboard. If you still think life jackets have to be made out of bulky slabs of Styrofoam, you need to take a look at today’s store shelves. The latest designs now on the market are lightweight and come in a range of styles and colours that should suit any fashion taste. They’re not much bulkier or heavier than a T-shirt. There’s even a new inflat-
able design that can come with automatic inflation that fills the PFD with air as soon as you hit the water. Some boaters will still say a short trip doesn’t necessitate the bother of even placing a PFD in the vessel. And yet statistics tell a different story. There are close to 140 unnecessary drownings in Canada every year, according to the safe boating council. And roughly 80 per cent of
those recreational boaters who lose their life on the water weren’t wearing a life jacket. A vast majority of parents make sure their toddlers and youngsters wear a PFD in the water. It’s time they set aside the excuses and lead by example by donning the gear as well. Regardless of the situation, life jackets do save lives. As the council promotes: It’s Your Life...Preserve It.

Onward and, inevitably, upward CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
M
aybe the tide is turning against tall buildings. And maybe not. Sure, the Ontario Municipal Board recently struck down a proposal to build some in Westboro on a residential street. That the proposed towers were more than twice the height for which the street was zoned might have had something to do with it, except that the argument hasn’t worked too well in the past. For that reason, it seems too early to celebrate. There is every indication the tide is in fact not turning against tall buildings. We are reading almost every day about similarly oversized structures that are going ahead. It used to be front-page news when this happened. After all, this is a city in which, for the longest time, the Peace Tower was supposed to be the tallest building allowed. But now, it’s tower after tower, each taller than the last. Less than two weeks after the supposed victory over developers in Westboro, the newspapers carried, on inside pages, news of a 27-storey tower on Nepean Street and a 30-storey job on Preston. You can look down on the Peace Tower from both of them. The public is mystified, because the public can’t see what’s driving this. Does anybody like tall buildings? Is anybody, other than a developer, demanding more of them? Did any candidate for city council run on a platform of bringing more tall buildings to the city? No, is the answer to that last one and yet city council seems to have all but given up when faced with yet another request to build something considerably taller than what we thought was allowed. Councillors are reduced
to arguing about which design has the prettier balconies, while the question of how tall the building is hangs in the air, undebated. Other preposterous statements, such as the claim that new towers won’t cause increased traffic and parking difficulties go unchallenged. They fly in the face of common sense, but common sense somehow vanishes when planningspeak is the language of the day. It is assumed, perhaps, that the developers will win in the end, given the notoriously pro-developer record of the Ontario Municipal Board, to which any appeal would be directed. And even now, when the OMB has shown a willingness to take a contrary position, the skyline climbs mostly uncontested and the shadows lengthen across the neighborhoods. The argument in favour of all this is familiar: we need more people living near the centre of the city to prevent urban sprawl and a larger influx of cars. The argument against is familiar too: the city is going back on a bargain it made with its residents and who’s to say that those new people living near the centre of the city won’t bring their cars anyway? What we don’t want is to wind up like Toronto, where new condo towers pop up like dandelions and cars choke the streets. And don’t forget the construction period brings considerable inconvenience to the neighbourhood for many months at a time. For the moment, opposition to higher rises is coming mostly from community groups, who lack financial resources and whose credibility is usually under attack. It would be interesting to see the politicians take a larger role. In the next election campaign, would anybody dare question the very idea of growth, the assumption we all seem to share that a city can never get too big? Would anybody run on a platform that says the city is big enough and our resources should be put into improving the lives of those who live here, rather than building higher for those who don’t live here yet? That would be something to see. It would spark a useful debate about what a city should be and for whom.

For the love of a good night’s sleep
I
know countless mothers who haven’t had a good night’s sleep in years due to their aversion to sleep training. To me, it doesn’t make sense. Studies have linked sleep deprivation to heart problems, overweight and obesity, higher risk of diabetes, depression, headaches, diminished cognitive function and reduced immunity in adults. In children, broken sleep contributes to problems with daytime alertness, increased susceptibility to communicable diseases, language development delays, along with higher incidence of temper tantrums and out-of-control behaviour well into the preadolescent years. Teaching a child to have a good sleep is as essential as providing nutrition for optimum growth. So why are people vehemently against the idea of
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse helping their children to get a good night’s sleep? For one thing, parents have a difficult time letting infants cry. But, as American pediatrician and sleep expert Dr. Marc Weissbluth notes. “making children cry is not the way to help them learn to sleep.� The author of, Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child, Weissbluth has been monitoring sleep patterns in thousands of children over the past three decades. The father of four founded the original Sleep Disorders Center at the Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
Weissbluth is not dogmatic in his approach. He recognizes that all children are different - “like snowflakes� - and this is represented in both their sleep needs and their personalities. He also recognizes that parents have different preferences. It doesn’t matter if a child sleeps in a crib or shares the parental bed, if the child breastfeeds or takes a bottle. All children, says Weissbluth, can be guided to a good night’s sleep. According to Weissbluth’s approach, the majority of babies are capable of sleeping
stretches of nine hours or more overnight by about nine months of age, many of them younger. Daytime naps at this stage account for two or three stretches totalling four to five hours. For anyone who has an overtired toddler, this may seem like a miraculous feat, but having used Weissbluth’s approach with my own two children, it’s much easier to implement than most people realize. He advocates parents take the time to pay attention to their babies’ natural sleep patterns and cues of tiredness. “Perfect timing produces no crying,� writes Weissbluth, “... but to achieve perfect timing requires practice.� The entire process can start from birth. Babies tend to sleep 16 or 17 hours each day whenever they feel tired, but often for only a couple hours at a time. There is not much training that can be
done at this stage. Newborns have no internal clock and need to feed and sleep on demand in the early weeks. Gradually, however, infants will sleep longer stretches of up to four hours. Weissbluth suggests parents take note of these early sleep patterns. In particular, what behaviours does baby exhibit just before nodding off? These will be the cues for drowsiness later on. Self-soothing is a big component of Weissbluth’s approach. While young babies may nod off during feedings, older ones may not. He suggests resisting the urge to nurse babies to sleep. Rather put them in their cribs or beds while they’re drowsy, but still awake. They may cry for a few moments, but ultimately, they will drift off, without rocking, nursing or cooing. As with most things, routine is essential. With
routine, babies develop their own internal sleep clock. Putting them to bed at the same time each night, ideally with a pre-bedtime routine and waking them at the same time each morning (similarly for naps) will help them establish this clock. Children need a lot more sleep than many parents realize. The average six-yearold, according to Weissbluth’s research, requires 11 hours of night time sleep. Weissbluth points out parents are often the root cause of sleep problems in children. Keeping children up too late, waking them for feeds in the night or simply responding too quickly when they make a sound can all disrupt a child’s natural tendency toward developing sleep rhythms. For the love of a good night’s sleep and the health of children, it’s worth taking the time to consider Weissbluth’s gentle approach.
New fundraising policies set for Ontario schools jessica.cunha@metroland.com
EMC news - Ontario school boards are implementing new policies on fundraising as this school year ends, under a requirement that they incorporate the province’s new “best practices� by September. The issue came to wide public attention with the publication of Fundraising Fever, a Metroland Special Report, which focused on growing concern about the overuse of fundraising and the disparities it creates. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board is updating its fundraising policy to match the new guidelines said Walter Piovesan, the board’s associate director of education. He added the new policy would be available by the end of June or the beginning of September for consultation. It will be up to the principal of each school to ensure fundraising is conducted within the new rules. “It’s the principal who enforces the policy and works

Ontario school boards are implementing new provincial fundraising guidelines, which outline what those funds can buy, such as technology for the classroom. with the school councils or whoever is doing the fundraising to make sure the policy is being followed,� Piovesan said. The Ottawa Catholic School Board is already “mostly compliant� with the new ministry guidelines said spokesperson Mardi de Kemp. “The new requirements are
being reviewed and the current policies will be modified over the summer so that the board will be fully compliant by the fall,� said de Kemp. Annie Kidder of People for Education, a parent-led advocacy group, says the reaction her group is getting to Fundraising Fever underscores the problems that fundraising creates. “So many people have forwarded it and talked about it as a never-ending issue,� Kidder said. “We don’t think the fundraising guidelines are strong enough.� The guidelines say fundraising should not duplicate existing funding – for example the ministry provides schools with money for textbooks and learning materials so raising funds to buy more is not permitted. Kidder says the key to equitable education is to make sure it’s funded so everyone gets a good education; one that does not depend on fundraising. “The problem with thinking of education as a charity
rather than as something we pay for through our taxes is that it changes how we think. It entrenches fundraising as something we assume has to be there.�
Kidder says, “all fundraising isn’t bad, but there has to be a line.� “I think the system has come to assume that where possible, parents will kind of take up the

Brighton Beach oak tree continues to inspire Westboro artist creates inspirational work for university campus Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - Crafted from the remains of a massive oak tree, a sculpture paying tribute to Carleton University’s dedication to accessibility was officially dedicated at the River Building on June 26. Sculptor David Fels creation Sailing through Time, carved from the remains of the Brighton Beach oak that was cut down in Old Ottawa South last summer, also honours the 25th anniversary of Rick Hansen’s Man in Motion tour. Carleton University president Roseann O’Reilly Runte announced the school’s commitment to the READ initiative, which focuses on research, education, accessibility and design, during the dedication of a plaque for the sculpture. “Accessibility is really the theme of today,” O’Reilly Runte said. “People often think of our miles of tunnels, but they don’t often think of our services.” The initiative will bring a greater focus to disability issues, develop policy and will conduct applied research. The goal is also for the ini-
tiative to provide a forum for collaborations with community groups and governments. O’Reilly Runte said it was Larry McCloskey, the director of Carleton’s Paul Menton Centre for Students with Disabilities, a group interested in promoting a multi-disciplinary focus on accessibility, who brought up the idea of using the Brighton Beach oak as an art piece to honour Rick Hansen famous world tour and Carleton’s commitment to accessibility. “The demand for new programs in this area is growing,” McCloskey said. “And we want Carleton to be at the forefront of studies and research that have applications to everyone but keep disability in mind.” O’Reilly Runte credited Capital Coun. David Chernushenko for making the sculpture possible by speaking with the residents of Old Ottawa South and paving the way for the tree to make it’s second home at the university. Chernushenko said it wasn’t necessarily easy to have all the residents, who were sad the tree had to come down at all, to agree for the remains to go
to the university. “I told them, the university is in Capital Ward and many Old Ottawa South residents go to the university, it seemed fitting,” Chernushenko said. The Mayor Jim Watson, Lt.Gov. David C. Onley and his wife Ruth Ann Onley also attended the plaque dedication. Fels, a Westboro-based artist, said he has worked with trees for more than three decades, but this was his biggest project to date. Marcelle Lapointe attended the event and seeing the sculpture for the first time, the Pineview resident was brought to tears. “It is just awesome,” she said. “This is what awesome means.” Lapointe thought she would be emotional for the loss of the tree, but instead, she said the tears were of joy to see that although the tree had to be cut down, it still has a future. Lapointe said she was happy to hear the sculpture was dedicated to Rick Hansen, finding it made sense. “He is a man in motion and this tree remains still, in motion,” Lapointe said. Onley agreed. “Rick (Hansen) is a mighty oak,” he said. “I cannot think of a more fitting way commemorate Rick’s Man in Motion tour than with this inspiring, unique work of art.”

guideline developers in the area are using to re-zone properties and build. Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs, who attended the meeting, said there is no community design plan for the area yet and so the city’s Official Plan is the guiding document. “The CDP process is ongoing, and nowhere near complete,” Hobbs said. “At the planning summit, we talked about looking at areas where there’s no time to complete a CDP (before development starts) and looking at that, and coming back with a faster decision.” Residents said they were frustrated with the process and asked how the city can let this development and others like it when there’s no CDP for the area. “The city is provincially re-
quired to consider applications in a timely manner,” said Geoffrey Hall, Hobbs’ assistant who specializes in planning. “There’s a process for the CDP and it has to be done in a certain manner. We can’t control how fast developers apply for things.” Residents voiced their feelings of “nervousness” over the fact such developments are coming forward in an area where there’s no community design plan. One woman who said she was an active cyclist in the area she’s already afraid when riding her bike on Champagne Avenue. She’s worried about how much more traffic this development and surrounding ones would have on the area. “I already fear for my life on Champagne,” the woman said. “There’s a number of people we’re cramming into this little R0011488432/0705

space. We think people will take the train and they probably won’t. I’m nervous about it.” Traffic engineer Ron Jack said there would be a minimal impact on traffic in the area, but said most people don’t believe him when he says that. “I’ve been going this for 30 to 35 years on every major project in the city and they all work,” Jack said. “Go out to a condo building and count the cars going by. You don’t generate a lot of cars. Yes, there’s more traffic, but it’s not what you would think if you equate it to the size of a subdivision.” He added that what brings traffic to areas are retail stores, not condo units. “It’s not easy for the public to understand why a 250unit project with 200 parking spaces wouldn’t have 200 cars flying out onto the street. But it just doesn’t happen,” Jack said. However, he said that doesn’t mean that the Champagne Avenue residents see today will stay the same. “Champagne will change,” Jack said.

Children celebrate big book accomplishments at Elmdale Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com
EMC community - Cameron Rhodes and Tenley McKay were very excited when they finally saw their very own stories published in a hard cover book. For months the Grade 3 Elmdale Public School students wrote, re-wrote, and edited their own books as part of a group of 80 Grade 2 and 3 students at the school. “I just feel really great,” said Cameron. “I’m going to make a series.”
Teacher June Chang said the project started as a lesson on doing critical thinking and teaching students to judge books based on what would make a good narrative. When a French immersion class was doing similar activities, those students were tasked with writing a story about the winter time. Chang said she saw an opportunity to combine the activities. “What’s when we came up with the idea of snow babies,” said Chang. “We took a sock and filled it with beans and

rice. I wanted to create a concrete character that would get them motivated to write.” Based on the snow baby character, students came up with their own stories and learned the full writing process, including brainstorming, planning, word choice and editing. Chang said the project grew even more when she stumbled upon a publishing company called Studentreasures, a free student publishing program. “I made the decision to build in more English lessons,” said Chang, adding that students then read each others work and offered feedback. “They were really, really good at giving constructive criticism. And since they had the goal of creating a hard cover book, the motivation was there.” Chang remembers days where she had to tell her students to go out for recess because they wanted to stay in on their lunch hour and keep
writing. Some students wrote as many as 40 pages and the stories had to be cut down to fit the required number of pages. When the students recently received their books at the school, Chang said she had to fight back the tears. “Watching it from the beginning of the process and knowing how hard they worked, and seeing their excitement is very emotional,” she said. “I’m proud. I’m really proud of them.” Tenley said she might continue writing, but said another aspect excited her the most. “I liked the drawings,” Tenley said. Cameron gets excited as he talks about his book and said he would like to design books someday. “I’m going to encourage them to continue on,” said Chang. “We might have some budding authors down the road.”
EMC community - Josh McJannett and the Carlington Community Association want to see people roll up their sleeves in their community and get involved. That’s why the community association is launching four new committees for neighbours who might be interested in taking part in four specific aspects of the association, including the development committee, membership and renewal committee, fundraising committee and communications committee. “We’re trying to really engage our membership in the community by offering new opportunities for everyone to take part in,” said McJannett, the association’s president. “The community association can be more relevant.” McJannett said the community association has been looking at others like Hintonburg’s where that community’s association includes similar committees. He added that people in Carlington have strong feelings when it comes to the development conversation and that the association wants to be relevant when infill issues come up. “(The development committee) is a place where people who are interested in traffic issues, or LRT, can go and have conversations,” McJannett said, adding that committees can build an expertise.

“Hopefully when issues come up, we’re not starting from scratch.” The communications committee, he said, would have members dropping flyers in mailboxes, blogging for the website and maintaining more of a social media presence. McJannett also said launching the new committees come at “an exciting time” for Carlington. “There are more people around the table, young faces and people who have been away from the association coming back,” he said. So far he said there’s been quite a bit of interest from people who want a membership to the community association and he hopes it can reach out to everyone.

in Kanata on June 27. The young man was identified as Bell High School student Mahmoud Lokman Eid by the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board. He was scheduled to graduate on Friday, June 29. “On behalf of the students, staff and parent community of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board and especially the Bell High School community, we extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mahmoud Lokman Eid,” said Jennifer Adams, director of education, in a statement. Students took to Twitter to post their thoughts. “Rest in peace Mahmoud Lokman, you’ll be missed by everyone who was blessed to have known you. Keep that beautiful smile on in Heaven,” wrote Erin-Leigh Gerrard. A memorial book has been set up inside the front doors to the main office and will be available to sign from July 3 to July 14.

The coalition hopes to release three to five position papers a year. The first position paper coalition launched on June 28 dealt with how violence against women has been portrayed in the media, particularly when it comes to honour killings. “The assumed cultural nature of the case spread like wildfire,” said Corrine Mason, a PhD student from the University of Ottawa, who studied how the recent Shafia murder trial was covered by two daily newspapers. Mason’s research forms the basis of coalition’s position that the way the trial was presented in the media was that violence against women in Canada became “ordinary” and honour killings became “extraordinary.” Mason concluded through her study of the Shafia trial that there were implications Canada was superior to the “Muslim world” regarding violence against women. She said that’s simply not true, however. Citing Statistics Canada reports, she said of the 146 women killed in homicides in 2008, 45 were murdered by their spouse or domestic partner. Between 2007 and 2008, more than 61,600 women were seeking abuse shelters. She added that according to the Native Women’s Association of Canada, there are 583 missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls in the country. “Honour killings (were portrayed as) a misogynist culture, committed by Muslims against Muslim women and children, and it was carefully planned,”
Kristy Strauss
Stefanie Lomatski is executive director of the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women. she said. “Domestic violence by contrast (was portrayed as) individual men who were a few bad apples, non-Muslim, and women were not killed for transgressing cultural boundaries.” The coalition also said they’d like to work with media organizations and come up with a collaboration project that would help both parties get the message of violence against women out. Jordan Fairbairn who does public engagement for the coalition, and is also a PhD student, said the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence worked successfully with journalists and together came up with a hand book on reporting violence against women stories. “This is a model to work off of in Canada,” said Fairbairn. “They started from a point in recognizing that these are tough issues to cover.” For more information on the coalition, visit their website at: www.octevaw-cocvff.ca.

Planning a celebration fit for Canada Cross-country brainstorming sessions to find ideas for 150th birthday in 2017 Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - Creating a link to connect Canada from coast to coast. Organizing a nationwide chorus of O Canada. Offering immigrants the chance to tell their Canadian stories. These were just some of the ideas that Ottawa residents tossed around at a public consultation at the Lord Elgin Hotel on June 25 to discuss what Canada’s 150th birthday celebration should look like. The consultation exercise is part of a cross-country tour organized by the Canadian Capital Cities Organization. Lee Ellen Pottie, who works for the organization, was part of the group that visited Ottawa on June 25 to seek input from interested residents. “We want to bring out Canadians’ sense of belonging and sense of ownership and get them excited about the upcoming celebrations,” she said. The consultation asked participants to answer six ques-
tions: • How should Canada Day in 2017 be celebrated? • What major events can be created to mark the 150th anniversary? • What type of infrastructure or projects would people like to see to mark the anniversary? • What could be the unifying themes for the celebrations? • How can all Canadian across the country become engaged in the celebrations? • How can the year 2017 and the years leading up to 2017 encourage greater Canadian participation. The evening turned into a brainstorming session featuring ideas ranging from legacy projects to neighbourhood parties to involving museums to creating a logging tournament. Danielle Jeddore, who works for the federal government, was among those who attended the consultation. “I came out because I work for Aboriginal Affairs and I am interested in adding the

Aboriginal perspective to the consultations,” she said. That sort of perspective was exactly what Pottie was looking for. “Get people talking and bring up ideas you would not have thought about,” Pottie said. Jeddore and other residents from across the city participated after receiving an invitation through the National Capital Commission, which is a member of the Canadian Capital Cities Organization. Beyond the series public meetings taking place at provincial and territorial capitals across the country, the organization has also set up an online survey Canadians to fill out on its website. “We wanted to have something that everyone could do, even if they do not participate in the public consultations, we are still taking down their considerations,” Pottie said. Information gathered from the consultation sessions and online survey will be used to draft a report, which will be completed in the fall. For more information on the consultations or the 150th celebrations project, visit the website at www.ccco-occ. com.

Drowning child revived at Michele Heights pool Ottawa West EMC staff
EMC news - A four-yearold boy who was found without vital signs at a community pool on Michele Drive was saved thanks to a young lifeguard working her first day on the job. Just before 5 p.m. on June 29, paramedics responded to the call shortly after a City of Ottawa lifeguard per-
formed CPR on the child who she found face down in the wading pool at the Michele Heights Community Centre near Bayshore. The lifeguard had completed three rounds of CPR before paramedics arrived. The child had regained a pulse and was breathing on his own. Paramedics treated the boy who regained consciousness and was breathing on his own before being sent to CHEO. The boy has since been released from hospital.
“Ottawa Paramedics recognize the lifeguard team for their quick response to the emergency, specifically the
young woman who will never forget her first day on the job,” Ottawa paramedics stated in a press release.

LOOK FOR YOUR FLYER IN THE
I’m happy to report that Ontario’s 2012 Budget has passed. It’s the right plan for our times. The budget includes $18 billion in savings, allowing us to protect and expand the services Ontarians rely on, like health care and education. It was very unfortunate that the Opposition parties decided to play games with this budget. The PCs said they would vote against it before they even read it – an incredible failure to act responsibly for Ontario – while the NDP backtracked on a promise to support the budget. In the end, I’m glad the Opposition realized that our budget contains the strong action Ontario needs in this fragile economy. Ontarians don’t want another election. They want good jobs and a vibrant economy – and that’s what our budget delivers. We’re freezing corporate taxes and MPP pay, ending horseracing subsidies and reducing government spending. This strong action means we can continue implementing Full Day Kindergarten, expand home care for seniors, implement a 30% tuition cut for most students and continue our record investments in schools and hospitals. Right here in Ottawa West-Nepean, I’m happy to report that the expansion of our community hospital, the Queensway Carleton, is on track. In June, I participated in the opening of a new Care Centre that will see 40,000 patient visits per year at the QCH, and the hospital installed a new MRI machine. Work on three new operating rooms and 15 dialysis machines is continuing. The big picture is that since the height of the Recession, Ontario has created 319,000 net new jobs, more than any other province. We have the lowest surgical wait times in Canada and our students rank among the best in the world. None of this happens by accident – it’s the result of strong fiscal policy, smart government investments and the hardworking Ontarians who make it all happen. I’m looking forward to a great Ottawa summer in our community. As always, please do not hesitate to contact my constituency office with any questions or comments you may have at 613-721-8075 or bob@bobchiarelli. com. Sincerely, Bob Chiarelli, MPP Ottawa West-Nepean

rom now, until the crisp fall days filled the air with the scent of burning leaves, our house smelled of simmering sugar and tart vinegar coming off the Findlay Oval. It was pickling and preserving time. And the smells hung onto our clothes for days as if we had been sprayed and we would notice just about everyone at Northcote School smelled the same way. The huge vegetable garden would finally show the results of Mother’s constant attention and yellow beans, carrots, beets, cucumbers, blood-red tomatoes and just about any other vegetable you could name, were all ready for picking. As well, wild strawberries, mostly found along the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks that snaked through our farm, would already have been turned into jam. Raspberries, found growing in great abundance in a secluded spot in the dense woods on the property, were hauled out in milk cans and now sat in jars and sealers of every description. The jams were thick and sweet, but the preserves were a different matter. They were sweet too, but the berries always floated to the top of the jars, leaving thick, sweet syrup on the bottom, which

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories I was known to drink right out of the jar when Mother wasn’t looking. Every glass jar that had come into the house over the past months would be saved for this time of year. Washed thoroughly, then boiled in the big copper kettle on the stove, they were of every shape and size. And always there was a small pot of wax on the very back of the stove, usually on the reservoir, ready to pour over the jars holding the jams and pickles. It was unusual if Mother had to buy new wax every year, because since the last pickling and preserving session when the wax was removed from a jar, it was rinsed off and put in a cardboard box in the summer kitchen and reused time and again. Goodness knows how many years the same piece of wax had made the rounds, melted down again and again. Last year’s crop of preserves and pickles, stacked on a swinging shelf in what passed for a cellar, had gotten low. Fresh sheets of the Renfrew Mercury would be folded and placed on the shelves, ready for the new batches of jars and sealers. What we called the cel-
lar, wasn’t really a cellar at all. While most of our neighbours had a dug-out you got to from a trap door in their kitchen, you could only get into ours from outside the house. Two big flat doors, on a slant from the ground to the side of the house, had to be hoisted and laid back to get down into our cellar, which was nothing more than a sandy pit an ancestor of Father’s had dug out a century before. A swinging shelf was above the sand, and attached to the floorboards of the underside of the house. It was a dark, dank place that scared the starch out of me every time I was sent down. Vegetables were buried in the sand and my brother Emerson further flamed my fears by telling me he knew for a fact it was where snakes spent the long cold winters! Mother’s recipes were ones she was given by Aunt Bertha Thom from the farm next to us or Mrs. Beam the wonderful neighbour, who as well as treating everyone in the Northcote area for minor afflictions, was also known for her dill pickles and spiced crabapples, both of which always won prizes

at the Renfrew fair. Mother had come from New York where pickles, jams and jellies were bought at the grocery store and “doing down” vegetables and fruits was as foreign to her as making homemade lye soap, all of which she mastered with the help of neighbours. It didn’t take her long to catch on to harvesting the garden either. There was scarcely a meal back then that didn’t have Father’s favourite pickles in a bowl on the table. He said no dinner was complete without chili sauce or yellow beans done in brine. Mother could serve up turnips, potatoes and even a bowl of sauerkraut, but Father always asked; “Got any of that chili sauce and those yellow beans?” My sister Audrey would jump up and dump out a good portion of each and put it on the table. Back then, the Depression was all around us. There was no money for frivolity. We learned not to ask for something as simple as new hair ribbons or store-bought underwear or a toy we may have seen in the Five and Dime Store in Renfrew. We were barely able to buy coal oil for the lamps or a needed piece of harness or gas for the old Model T. But our table was always full. Vegetables, preserves, sauerkraut and an apple barrel in the summer kitchen and a smoke house full of meat ... and I heard it said more than once, “it’s a poor farmer indeed who cannot feed his family.”

Chocolate cake, raspberries make an easy summer dessert

his raspberry-flavoured chocolate cake makes a simple and delicious dessert for a summer supper or party. The fudge cake can be made a day ahead, then sliced and arranged on individual serving plates. Arrange some fresh raspberries beside each piece then add a scoop of frozen vanilla yogurt or ice cream. This is light and refreshing. This recipe calls for raspberry pancake syrup. Be sure you get what is labelled as “pancake syrup.” There are other types of raspberry syrup, which are very thin and meant for mixing with water or summer drinks. They just don’t work in this recipe, and neither does raspberry jam. I’ve tried them both. Only raspberry pancake syrup will do. Chocolate Raspberry Cake
• 4 squares semi-sweet baking chocolate • 2 tbsp. white sugar • 1/2 cup raspberry pancake syrup • 1/2 cup butter or block margarine, softened enough at room temperature to mix easily • 1 1/4 cups white sugar • 3 eggs
PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff • 1 2/3 cups flour • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder • 1/4 tsp. salt • 1/3 cup milk Butter and flour a 20-centimetre cake pan. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate, raspberry syrup and two tablespoons of sugar. Microwave on high for one minute, stir and then microwave on high for another minute. The mixture will be hot enough to finish melting the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has completely melted, then set aside to cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter, or margarine, with the white sugar. Add the eggs, one a time, and beat until thoroughly combined. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add about one-third of
the flour to the creamed egg mixture. Using the electric mixer, beat until the flour is completely incorporated. Add about two tablespoons of the milk, and mix again until well combined. Continue adding the flour and milk alternately to the batter, beating well after each addition. Occasionally, scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the chocolate and raspberry syrup mixture to the batter. With a spatula or longhandled spoon, stir this into the batter until there are no streaks of white or chocolate. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake at 350 F (175 C) for 55 to 60 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out sticky, bake for another five to 10 minutes, then check again. When the cake is done, remove it from the oven. Set the pan on a wire rack, and cool completely before serving.

EMC news - A downtown social service centre is reaching out to the surrounding community to help raise money to send more than 50 under-privileged children to a theme park this summer. Odette Uwambaye, from the Rwanda Social Services and Family Counselling centre started the initiative two years ago, with the goal of ensuring all children have the opportunity to take part in a one-day trip to a theme park. This year, the destination is Marineland in Niagara Falls, Ont. “When school starts in the fall, all the kids are talking about their summer trips and travels,” Uwambaye said. “There is always stories to tell, but there are those kids who have no where to go and no stories to tell. I want to give them a fun time and a story to tell.” Uwambaye is using the fundraising campaign to give the children the opportunity to not only visit Marineland, but also the chance to camp at a community centre in Toronto along the way. “Give them a good trip to talk about, something a lot of kids have the opportunity to do,” Uwambaye said. There are families who can not afford to go anywhere and can sometimes only send their
children to the community centre, Uwambaye added. “That is not the same thing as going to a park or going on an adventure,” Uwambaye said, so she sought help from the community and raised money to organize day trips to Parc Gérard-Lalonde and Parc Safari in Quebec. While the cost of the previous trips was between $3,000 and $4,000, a more elaborate trip to Marineland with the campout in Toronto has driven the cost slightly higher. “If we can raise $5,000 to $6,000 we will be able to send them,” Uwambaye said. The cost of transportation is more than double what the organization has raised in the past because of the longer trip. If they can not raise enough money, Uwambaye said they have an alternative plan to send the children to Calypso Theme Waterpark in Prescott-Russell, a half-hour outside of Ottawa. “It is our plan B,” Uwambaye said. “But we would love to send them all to Marineland. It is not that easy, but if the kids can have that opportunity, it would be great for them.” To donate or find out more information on Rwanda Social Services and the trip the group is organizing go to the organization’s website at www.rwandasocialservices.org, or contact Uwambaye at 613-565-7500 or at 613-298-2256.

Shingiroryintane Matiasse, left, and Umutoniwase Florence love coming to the Rwanda Social Services Centre to use the Internet and socialize with other children.

Ride for Dad hits river, supports prostate cancer research Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - The local Ride for Dad Watercraft Edition has partnered with the Ottawa Police to help raise awareness and support for prostate cancer. This year, Eastern Ontario will join the already established Ride for Dad Watercraft Edition in Windsor, Ont. The event will take place at Rideau Ferry and will welcome participants from across the region as well as members of the city’s police force who will hit the water in various watercraft vehicles on July 7. “It is all about raising awareness for prostate cancer,” said Brian Ivay, executive director of the Ride for Dad Watercraft Edition. “This is the transition
from motorcycles to watercraft and the next generation of Ottawa police’s involvement in the Ride for Dad.” The Ride for Dad event, which took place on June 2, began in Ottawa in 2000, with only 80 participants. The event has since expanded to 30 communities across Canada and has raised more than $9 million for prostate cancer research and treatment. The watercraft edition began in Windsor in 2011 as an addition to the motorcycle ride. Ivay said it was at the last Ottawa Boat Show where he began speaking to area businesses and the police about the possibility of starting up an Eastern Ontario watercraft edition. “Everyone was really into

Members of the Ottawa Police Service’s traffic escort unit and marine drive trails unit and executives from Ride for Dad Watercraft Edition show off on June 26. The event was organized to raise awareness for the Eastern Ontario ride, set for July 7 at Rideau Ferry. the idea and from there it just took off,” Ivay said. “We have had a lot of support from Ride for Dad to get this going.”
The watercraft ride is open to all jet-powered watercraft, including personal watercraft vehicles like Sea-Doos (stand-
up and sit-down models) and jet boats. The ride will depart Rideau Ferry and continue to Nar-
rows Lock and then heading to Westport on Upper Rideau Lake. Then it’s back to the lock at Newboro and then heading back to Narrows Lock and then back onto Big Rideau Lake. All lock fees are included in registration. The ride will then cross to Portland and loop back to Rideau Ferry. The round trip is expected to take about four to five hours with a total distance of 70 kilometres. Interested participants can pre-register for the Watercraft Ride for Dad online at www. ridefordad.ca or come out on ride day. The ride begins at 11 a.m. with closing ceremonies and a party will take place at Farrell Hall in Perth beginning at 5 p.m.

Fishing festival wants to reel in urban dwellers Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
Submitted
Dr. Ben Fong has had a long love affiar with fishing. The Ottawa dentist is looking to spread his enthusiasm for the sport, organizing the city’s first urban fishing festival on July 14 and 15 with the aim of encouraging more city-dwellers to cast a line and have some fun.
EMC news - Ottawa’s first urban fish festival will encourage everyone, anglers and non-anglers alike, to have a great time casting their rods at Brewer Park. The Ottawa Fishing Festival will take place on July 14 and 15 during Ontario’s licensefree family fishing week. The festival was created and organized by Manotick resident Dr. Ben Fong, who wanted to share his love for fishing with the rest of the city. “I used to do a lot of fishing and when I purchased home on the water, I began fishing four times a week,” Fong said. “This festival, it is all about introducing fishing to urban dwellers in Ottawa.” The festival, Fong said, will also offer the opportunity for children, who normally do not have the chance to learn how to fish, to try out the sport. Fong, a dentist by day, chose the Old Ottawa South location because the park runs along the Rideau River, but also has a ton of parkland for all the other, non-fishing activities, including inflatable castles, a magician, music from an Elvis impersonator, Dan Elvis Burgess, mariachi band Los Paisanos, dance groups, cooking segments and lectures, fish games, martial arts demonstrations and appearances and seminars with
Canadian fishing personalities “Big” Jim McLaughlin, Rob Atkinson and Captain Pat. Fishing rod rentals and live bait will be provided for anyone who wishes to try out fishing, which Fong encourages everyone to give a try. “Fishing is a really enjoyable sport, because it is a oneon-one sport and you get to have the chance to catch a big fish on the line,” Fong said. And there will be one fish in particular everyone at the festival will be keeping their eye out for. Participants will have the chance of catching a tagged “big fish” that will allow them to collect the festival’s top prize of a $15,000 pontoon boat, donated by Laurentian Marine Sales. The big fish, along with 20 or smaller fish for the children to catch will be tagged and released the night before the festival upstream from the park. Each fish has a prize attached to it. Fong will be personally catching the fish leading up to the festival, so the fish they are releasing are in familiar water. The festival is promoting catch and release, but Fong said once someone has caught a fish, it is up to them what they would like to do with it. “Take it home or toss it back, it is all part of the fun,” Fong said. The festival is also raising
money for CHEO’s Angles of Hope, with 10 per cent of every ticket purchase being donated to the cancer foundation. “I think they are doing a great thing and regardless of how much we make they will get 10 per cent automatically,” Fong said. As the first festival he has ever organized, Fong said it is all about having fun and the more tickets he sells, the more attractions he will add to the weekend. Fong has also donated more than $500 worth of tickets to the Ottawa Boys and Girls Club, to get more children to fall in love with his passion. “It is all about kids. It might be an old cliché, but it is what it is about,” Fong said. “There are kids that don’t have the opportunity so let’s bring them out and give them that opportunity.” Fong said it is the least he can do to support the children’s organization and welcomes any other children organizations to contact him for tickets. Ticket prices are $10 for children 6 to 11, teen to adult are $15 and a family pass is $45. Children five and under are free. For more information on the festival, to volunteer or to purchase tickets, please check out the festival’s website at www.ottawafishingfestival.ca.

Orleans’ Cody Ceci was drafted by his hometown team, the Ottawa Senators, as the 15th pick in the 2012 NHL draft.
Cody Ceci stays close to home as Senators top draft pick brier.dodge@metroland.com
EMC sports - Cody Ceci hasn’t had to leave behind his friends, family, or mom’s home-cooked meals to play major junior hockey with the Ottawa 67’s. And he won’t need to in order to play professional hockey either, after the Orleans’ native was drafted 15th by the Ottawa Senators in the 2012 NHL draft. Ceci and his family watched as teams were called to the stage to announce their first round drafts in Pittsburgh and as the Ottawa Senators pick got closer and closer, the anticipation grew. And at the end, he said the experience wasn’t what he expected – it was even better. “It was definitely pretty special,” Ceci said. “On that day I had no idea where I was going to go and the best possible scenario was to come home and play in my home town, so everything just worked out.” Ceci grew up in Orleans, attending St. Francis of Assisi and St. Clare schools, and St. Peter High School for grades 7 and 8, before leaving to attend private school in Peterborough, Ont. In the OHL draft, he learned he’d be coming home to play for the 67’s, and returned to St. Peter for grades 11 and 12. It’s a relief for his parents to keep him close to home after seeing him leave as a high school student to play for the Peterborough Minor Petes following a career with the Eastern Ontario Wild. “They’re pretty excited,” he said. “My mom didn’t want me leaving home again like when I went away to private school, so she’s happy I’m staying around.” Growing up in Orleans means he’s been following the Senators since childhood, attending games and watching his hometown team on television. He remembers being one of the younger kids who looked up to the 67’s and Senators “not too long ago,” getting excited if he got a chance to see one of the players. With the 67’s set to play at Scotiabank Place next year,
his daily commute won’t change if he suits up in a 67’s or Senators jersey. “I’m pretty fortunate to be drafted for my hometown for major junior, and then again for the National Hockey League,” he said. He gets the support of friends and family, who he said watch him even more closely than they would if he played elsewhere, and hope he makes the Senators final cut
for next year’s roster. “I’m a two way defenceman and I like to get up on the play and make things happen but at the same time I’ve been playing against top lines in my major junior so I think I can do a good job in shutting that down,” Ceci said. He’s got an advantage over out of town players through development camp and summer training, and he gets to go home at the end of the night,
and keep his focus on hockey. “I think it’s a huge advantage,” he said. “I think that just helps you play your best and not worry about other things,” He won’t have to worry about cooking or living on a fast-food diet either – mom has the home cooked meals taken care of. “She makes a lot of pasta, and I love pasta,” he said. “I eat it before every game.”

PepTides prep for love-hate Bluesfest spectacle Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC entertainment Ottawa kitsch-pop troupe the PepTides are getting ready to show off a love-hate spectacle at Ottawa Bluesfest. The nine-member collective burned up the stage for Jazzfest last year, but the main-stage Bluesfest slot is their first turn at the major Ottawa festival. “People will be seeing some new things in the Bluesfest show,” said DeeDee Butters, vocalist, muse and co-collaborator for PepTides founder, Claude Marquis. “Bluesfest is so big and to be on the main stage – we’re
extremely excited.” On July 8 at 3 p.m., the PepTides’ five singers and four musicians will be separated by a gulf between them on the stage. Their set will also be split into two: the first half, Hate, reflecting their 2010 album, For Those Who Hate Human Interaction, and the second half, Love, alluding to their upcoming Love Question Mark record. “They are both the good and the bad of human beings,” said Butters, a Britannia native who is now a downtown dweller. “It’s humanity’s behaviour under a microscope.” The PepTides’ lavish, theat-
rical kitsch-noir performance will give fans a preview of the group’s fifth album, Love Question Mark, the release of which the band pushed back to next spring. Part of that sneak peek includes releasing a summer single, I’m in Love. It’s the latest in a catalog of music that veers seamlessly between funk-soul grooves, electro-synth pop anthems and acoustic ballads, without losing its signature brazen sense of spectacle. With increasing buzz and accolades, including a Best Album nod from the Ottawa Citizen for For Those Who
Hate Human Interaction, the PepTides are hoping to break out nationally and internationally with their next release. After a summer capped off by headlining the Capital Pride Festival, the PepTides are heading out on the road for their first mini tour, hitting Montreal, Toronto and Hamilton. Before that, the group will bring home a week of Pride festivities with a sure-to-be-showstopping finale on Aug. 26. For more upcoming PepTides shows and news, find the band on Facebook at www. facebook.com/thepeptides, or www.thepeptides.com.

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