Lemay leaves NCC R0011169853

EMC news - While it’s not an opportune time to find a new chief executive, Marie Lemay’s departure from the National Capital Commission will do little to interrupt or change the direction of the Crown corporation’s work, its board chairman said. “I don’t think we will be missing any beats in moving these things forward,” Russ Mills said. After four years at the head of the federal agency that plans and manages Canada’s capital region, Lemay is leaving to take a senior federal public service appointment as associate deputy minister of infrastructure. Decisions on things like the NCC’s rejection of light rail on the Ottawa River Parkway won’t change, said Russ Mills, chairman of the NCC board of directors. “No. The CEO is the communicator,” Mills said. “Maybe people perceive that because of that, she is the decision maker, but actually the decision maker is the board. The board will be continuing in place.” Mills was set to meet with the relevant federal ministries this week to hammer out a plan and a timeline for seeking an interim and permanent replacement for Lemay. Last time around, the Crown corporation received 60 applications for the role of chief executive before choosing Lemay, Mills said. See LEAVE, page 6

One last trot around the track
Elsie Reford and her white steed, Roxy, take a trot around the ring before participating in the 2012 Dressage at the Park Silver and Gold Shows at the Nepean National Equestrian Park on July 21. The competition requires rider and horse to follow an intricate and precise route around a marked area. The event raises money for the therapeutic riding program at the park. This will be the last dressage event at the park, as the city has terminated their lease with the National Capital Commission, closing the park this fall.
Mechanicsville residents worried by condo proposal Kristy Strauss
kristy.strauss@metroland.com
EMC news - The latest highrise condominium proposal being put forward in Mechanicsville has left some residents feeling “concerned.” Richcraft Homes recently put forward a zoning bylaw amendment proposal to the city for properties located at 159, 163 and 167 Parkdale Ave. Developers want to in-
crease the properties’ permitted height from 37 metres to 85 metres to accommodate a 28-storey mixed-use building with 188 apartments. As part of the proposal, the developer is also asking for the rear yard setbacks to be reduced from 7.5 metres to 1.5 metres. A townhouse development backs onto the site. As the city expects to grow in the coming years, planners have
determined the areas around the Ottawa River Parkway would include higher density areas. “There’s just an incredible amount of development going on,” said Mechanicsville resident Chris Burke. “I can see that yes, we need urban intensification – no resident would disagree on that. But it’s so extreme and people are worried they won’t see sunlight because these towers will block it.”
Michael Andrecheck, another Mechanicsville resident, agreed that the matter is not about residents being “NIMBYs” - not in my backyard and called his neighbourhood “the new Glebe of the city.” However, he said the community didn’t expect the current zoning of the property to be doubled.

The issue of development has been a major topic of conversation for a number of years, Charbonneau said, with a lot of buildings and condominiums being built in the area. “Planning and development is the biggest (issue),” he said. While serious issues can be raised at the event, Charbonneau said the Gab ’n’ Graze presents an opportunity for neighbours to get to know each other. He hopes the events show that Centretown’s community association can also have fun. “The big thing I hope (residents) realize is that we’re an organization that likes to have fun,” Charbonneau said. “We’re a social organization that’s focused on improving the community and our area.” The last Gab ’n’ Graze took place on July 17 and the next one will take place in August.

Hobbs learns greenspace lessons at New York conference Kristy Strauss

kristy.strauss@metroland.com
EMC news - Getting more cyclists on the road, making streets pedestrian friendly and getting creative with urban spaces are just some of the lessons Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs will be taking back with her from New York. Hobbs recently spent about a week in the city, attending an international conference on urban parks called Greater and Greener: Re-Imagining Parks for 21st Century Cities. “One of the messages from this conference is, we get the life in the cities that we design for,” said Hobbs. “If we design for cyclists like they’ve done in Copenhagen, that’s what you’ll get.” The conference, which ran from July 14 to 17, was organized by the City Parks Alliance. As part of the conference, Hobbs went on tours of New York’s green and urban spaces and heard from representatives of cities from around the world who discussed examples of spaces and projects their own countries. One example Hobbs saw first hand was New York’s Times Square. “It was a major intersection and Broadway ran through it,” she said. “But they made a huge pedestrian mall, and it has worked in Times Square. There’s huge amounts of open space, tables and chairs, little
like green space, water and other people. That’s what we need to concentrate on.”

Katherine Hobbs and Sonna Georgiana Rusu from the University of Bucharest were among those attending the Greater and Greener conference in New York. kids running around – and it’s right in the heart of the most congested area of New York City.” Hobbs also got a first-hand look at the High Line – an old, elevated railway line that has been transformed into a pedestrian walkway and green space. With current growth patterns in Ottawa, especially Kitchissippi, Hobbs said the information she’s bringing back home will be relevant to the city. “What city planners are attempting to do with new buildings is to insist on having a streetscape viable for pedestrians,” said Hobbs. “This is not a war against the car, it’s
a culture shift and people do change.” While New York or other cities and Ottawa may be completely different, Hobbs said the conference provided a look at how different cities made successful urban spaces work. “It’s unbelievable what’s been done around the world,” she said. “New York City is a shining example of how to turn something that’s crap into something that puts you on the map for tourism. Changing an old abandoned rail line into a walk, it’s the biggest attraction right now.” She added Ottawa has taken advantage of opportunities, like freezing the Rideau Canal
in the winter time to allow for outdoor recreation in the colder months. But she said in places like Copenhagen, residents are also cycling along the roads in cold temperatures. “There were pictures of cyclists (at the conference) with snow all over their bodies, and they were still cycling,” Hobbs said. “They’re still cycling because it’s easiest, fastest and cheap – even when the weather’s bad.” She also said the conference has given her a chance to come back home with new ideas for the city, even though some of those ideas are in cities that are very different from Ottawa.

Cycling published a “state of cycling in the city report,” and president Hans Moor said the analysis shows things are looking up. “We’re making big progress,” Moor said. “There is definitely a lot of attention at city hall, both (from) staff and from council, to see cycling as a serious alternative for taking the car. It’s becoming more of an ‘and-and’ than an ‘eitheror.’” Ottawa has many kilometers of bicycle lanes and paths, but they are not necessarily connected to each other, Moor said. He supports Mayor Jim Watson’s assertion that the city can get “more bang for its buck” by undertaking small projects to better connect existing cycling facilities. “You don’t have to roll out expensive new bike lanes through forests,” Moor said. “You just connect two pieces and all of a sudden people start to say, ‘Hey, I can actually do all this without sharing the lane with traffic.’” Last year, the small improvement that had the biggest impact was new markings to allow cyclists to use an underpass under Nicholas Street at the University of Ottawa, near Campus Station, that connects Sandy Hill to the Corkstown footbridge and west to Centretown, Moor said. The “hugely successful” initiative will be followed up

According to a new report issued by Citizens for Safe Cycling, making connections between existing bike network sections provides the city with ‘more bang for its buck’ than some more ambitious projects. this year by another simple improvement to Rideau Canal access: the installation of a bike ramp attached to the stairs at Hartwell Locks to allow cyclists to get up and down from the path – an access that is used by thousands of people during the National Capital Commission’s Sunday Bike Days in the summer. “Small things like that are so easy and such big wins for the city,” Moor said. “I think with the wonderful connections we have with the city now we can actually convince them and say, ‘Take these three or four (improvements), put them in place and all of a sudden you
make thousands of people happy for next to nothing.’” COMPREHENSIVE REPORT
The report is a comprehensive look at the length pathways and bike lanes in the city, funding for cycling infrastructure and initiatives, cultural and community activities related to cycling, modal split trends and the “top 10” lists of issues that should be addressed and problems that the group has brought up in the past and that have now been addressed. The state of cycling report represents the evolution of that analysis, Moor said.
It’s the most comprehensive snapshot of cycling in Ottawa, he said, because it combines information from different sources such as the National Capital Commission, which manages many off-road pathways, and the city. “We’re always scrambling for this information ourselves,” Moor said. “We’re always asking, ‘Where is this? What are the numbers and is it true they are growing?’ … There are several jurisdictions here and no one publication that gathers this information.” The report looks at modal splits – the ratio of people driving versus cycling. In most areas, the cycling share is increasing, but Citizens for Safe Cycling found that far fewer people are cycling in certain areas such as Beacon Hill, Merivale, south Nepean and Alta Vista. That information will enable the advocacy group to look into what’s causing those decreases and how cycling facilities could be improved in those neighbourhoods. As the amount of cycling facilities increase and encourage cyclists to get on the roads and paths, drivers are becoming more aware of cyclists. That’s a huge win, Moor said. “I feel that the perceived difference between cycling and cars is getting less and less,” Moor said. “I think there is more acceptance of each other’s place on the road.”

The information, including an elector’s name, address, birthdate and whether the person voted (but not who they voted for), of electors from between 20 and 25 electoral districts was on two encrypted USB drives that went missing. Elections Ontario isn’t sure exactly which ridings were affected, but has narrowed the list down to 49 districts, including Nepean-Carleton,

Not easy to leave ‘fantastic’ organization Continued from page 1
“I think Marie Lemay did a great job as CEO of the NCC,” Mills said. “We need to continue on the path that we’ve been following for the last four years or so.” Lemay said it wasn’t an easy decision to leave because the NCC is a “fantastic” organization staffed by “extraordinary group of people.” There is never a good time to leave, she said, and that’s especially true right now as the NCC embarks on several integrated master planning exercises aimed at creating a new overall plan for the capital region called Horizon 2067. Celebrations for Canada’s sesquicentennial, or 150th anniversary, in 2017 are also getting underway. “We are deep into the planning cycle now,” Mills said, but he doesn’t anticipate Lemay’s departure will have a negative impact on those projects.

Despite Lemay’s departure, the NCC will continue towards completing its new Greenbelt Master Plan and other initiatives. Afterwards, Mills said he expects to see the NCC sell some parcels of land. A CEO who steps into the role at that time will need a strong communications background and a willingness to engage the public in a discussion about what the NCC does, Mills said. As for her advice to her successor, Lemay said they should be prepared for a unique and interesting role. Continuing to “walk the talk” of transparency and openness will be paramount, she said. “That takes effort. That takes time. But it’s so, so important,” Lemay said. The NCC’s staff are passionate and live their mandate, which is an advantage, she said. “You need to have people

The breach has also spurred a comprehensive review of all Elections Ontario privacy policies and procedures, as well as the agency’s technology framework, management and oversight.
lic and the role of CEO and board chair was combined. The organization had just begun to embark on a transparency initiative. “That’s one of the reasons I took on this role – I wanted to champion that,” Lemay said. Improving the way the NCC communicates its role to the public is another achievement, she added. That ties into her success in leveraging other partners in the public and privates sectors, Lemay said. Still, Lemay said, those efforts were fought against a challenge all NCC heads have faced and will continue to face: the complexity of the capital region and its many overlapping municipal, provincial and federal jurisdictions. “There is nothing we can really do alone. We have to work with partners,” she said. “It’s actually an opportunity because there is a lot of expertise and a lot of resources. If you can find a way to leverage that, the sky’s the limit … I think the partners are now all starting to see this.”

Library program sees seniors learn tech from teens Kristy Strauss
kristy.strauss@metroland.com
EMC community – Mahdi Hassan, 18, can’t remember a time when he didn’t use computers. The same sentiment went for his fellow youth volunteers at the Ottawa Public Library’s Carlingwood branch. These young adults and teenagers were recently at the west-end branch giving lessons to seniors on how to use technology – from emailing, to Facebook, to even just starting a computer up – in a program called Techno Buddies. The program was a pilot project, said Courtney Mellor, teen services librarian at Carlingwood. Mellor works closely with the young people who volunteer with the library’s other programs and said the teens wanted to work with older people more than working
with children. “It’s really breaking down the barriers,” said Mellor, adding that seniors need interaction with other generations. Mary Anne, who didn’t want her last name used, is one of the seniors who attended the workshop. She said the program has been very helpful. Her buddy taught her the basics – working the mouse, starting up the computer and opening a program. “I went straight from here to the community centre at Lincoln Fields and I practiced on the computer,” she said. “I did get something out of it. It’s a learning curve for someone who hasn’t grown up with it.” Wilma, another senior with the program who also declined to give her last name, said she used to have a computer, but didn’t use it as much when she had to become a caregiver to an Alzheimer’s patient.

“I wanted to refresh my mind,” Wilma said. “I wanted to see how much I could remember.” The teens said taking part in the program required a lot of patience, but they were happy to help the older generation. “My hope is that they can email home,” said Hassan. “Practice makes perfect, that’s all,” added volunteer Omar Saghir. Keara McKeown, 15, said the volunteer opportunity was great and that you don’t need to know everything about computers in order to volunteer for the program. “Courtney matches up your level of expertise to what the person needs,” she said. “You don’t need to take a course in computers.” While the pilot project is finished up for the summer, Mellor said the program was so successful that the library will host more sessions next

Shootings cause for concern, not revolution
A
recent spike in the number of gangrelated shootings in Toronto and Ottawa has alarmed both residents and the police forces in those cities. Toronto police are investigating the third shooting death in that city over a span of three days, the city’s 30th homicide in 2012. The same day he called Toronto “the safest city in the world,” Toronto Mayor Rob declared war on gang-related
crime. The mayor called for a meeting with Premier Dalton McGuinty to request support for a crackdown on gang violence. Meanwhile, in Ottawa, the police issued a report last month naming the city one of the safest municipalities in Canada. But police have also expressed alarm over the number of shootings this year. There have been 27 shootings in Ottawa so far this
year, four more than all of 2011. More than half of this year’s shootings are gang-related, said Ottawa police, including one last week during a car chase at Fisher Avenue near Baseline Road. The Ottawa police guns and gangs unit has investigated four more shootings than it has compared to all of last year. But this isn’t a citywide epidemic – the gang-related shootings are occurring in
specific neighbourhoods, such as South Keys, and some of the other older suburbs in south Ottawa. Despite the spike in the number of shootings in Ottawa, we don’t see the need for a knee-jerk reaction, as seems to be suggested by Mayor Ford. The solution seems simple: reallocate more resources to the city’s trouble spots. This could mean beefing up proactive policing efforts in Ottawa neighbourhoods hit
with gang-related violence or assigning more officers to the guns and gangs unit patrolling those areas. Ottawa’s crime statistics don’t call for a drastic change. This is a geographicallyspecific problem requiring a localized solution. The spike in shootings does not demand a kneejerk reaction that is more political than anything else. A similar spike in the police budget is unlikely. Keep in mind the provin-
cial government is desperately trying to trim its budget to help reduce Ontario’s deficit. Similarly, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson has set a 2.5 per cent cap on the municipality’s annual budget – including the police force. Next year’s draft police budget calls for a 5.6 per cent increase, which will have to be trimmed by $6 million to meet the budget cap. There isn’t much room either in the province or the municipality to go on a hiring spree. It’s up to our police chief to figure out how to best allocate the limited resources he has.
COLUMN
It isn’t a race – or is it? CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
B
y now, having lived a bit, you know that the world is divided into two kinds of people. There are those who stay in the lane they are in and those who keep jumping to what they hope is a faster one. This summer, you are likely to find out which you are, and how to deal with the other kind. The Queensway, of course, is a classic testing ground. Driving west or east from downtown at rush hour, you are continually faced with choices. Is the left-hand lane really a passing lane, or will it just be clogged with people who hope it is? The right-hand will end eventually. Will you stay on it until the bitter end and then barge into traffic, or will you move over earlier? The lane beside you seems to be moving a bit better. Will you jump over into it, or just stay where you are and hope for the best? It depends on what type you are, and in some ways, you probably don’t have as much choice as you thought you had. Your genes might predetermine what you do. Or the way you were taught to drive by your mother or father. Those of us who make one choice and stick to it require a mature outlook, because it means we have to accept the fact that other people, the lane-changers, might get there before us and we have to keep the difficult belief that it doesn’t matter if they do. In other words, it isn’t a competition. Raised in a society where competition dominates our economic life and professional sports permeate our society, it is a tough deci-
sion to decide that you are not playing. But it is a relief in a way. Take the border, for example. There you are, sitting in four or five or seven lanes of traffic for half an hour or maybe even more. The guy in front just moved one lane left, making an obstacle of himself while doing so. You stay where you are, partly because you don’t want to be that guy and partly because you may not have the nerve to do what he did. And you remind yourself it isn’t a competition. Because what does it matter if he’s sailing freely along the 401 two minutes before you are? But still, you watch him, in his huge ugly black SUV. Sometimes your line moves and you seem to be catching up with him. But then his line moves and moves again and you are losing sight of him, even though it isn’t a competition. Coming the other way, there are those people sneaking along on the side where it didn’t look like there even was a line. Are they jumping the queue or just part of the NEXUS line? It takes coolness, a strong-will and just a bit of inertia to stay where you are. Eventually, as you need to remind yourself, you get through and all is forgotten, even your nagging little wish that he’ll have his car searched by the customs people or maybe get a flat tire down the road. (As an aside, if you’re coming back this way, you discover that the drivers are faster and crazier up here than down there, a reversal of the national stereotypes.) Somehow one of our basic needs is to feel that we are smarter than the other guy. That either means that we applaud ourselves for getting ahead in the line or we pity the guy who gets ahead in the line because he must have a miserable life if he has to get his fun getting ahead of us. In the end, we both get there. But when we do, one of us keeps pushing the elevator button when it doesn’t arrive right away and the other just waits. The elevator gets there too.

Finding the elusive balance BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse to the fetish of the one-dimensional life,” where people are expected to work longer hours, be continuously connected to their employers and work 70-hour-plus weeks. On the other end of the spectrum are those who have decided no balance between work and family can be found, so they’ve given up their careers altogether. But the true way forward, argues Slaughter, is to advocate for workplaces that allow people to find fulfilment in multiple dimensions of their lives simultaneously. Her suggestions on how to achieve more balance – if one can use the “b” word -- are wide-ranging. Some involve
widespread policy changes, such as having school hours match work hours. But at the crux of Slaughter’s argument is that before women – and men, for that matter – can “have it all,” a paradigm shift in workplace culture needs to occur. For one thing, men and women need to work together to rid workplaces of “macho” cultures that increasingly seem to value face time over work productivity. Slaughter notes that the rise of technology, which promised to allow more employees opportunities to telecommute, thereby giving them more flexibility, has backfired. Instead, employees are expected
to be on-call 24/7. And despite the fact the technology exists, there continues to be much emphasis on bum-in-seat time, with promotions and other opportunities based on hours and/or years of service. The reality for most women, says Slaughter, is that it’s not always possible, nor desirable, to continue the traditional upward climb to powerful positions during the childrearing years. “Women should think
penalize women for stepping off the traditional career track, employers should look for ways to promote these women when the time is right and work on finding ways to retain women in whom they have invested a lot of time and resources. Failure to change the typical workplace culture, which views employees with families as a burden, will unfortunately mean that our professional workforce will lose talented men and women who are forced to make a choice between their careers and family lives. Who wants that kind of one-dimensional leadership anyway?
R0011450401/0614
A
springtime essay in The Atlantic reinvigorated the work-life balance debate that perpetually lays dormant in my mind. In Why women still can’t have it all, Anne-Marie Slaughter, a tenured Princeton professor and former policy advisor to U.S. secretary of state, contemplated the many reasons highly-educated women are fleeing powerful careers for the sake of their families. Friends posting and reposting this article applauded Slaughter for her support of stay-at-home mothers. But frankly, that wasn’t her point at all. In fact, if one were to ask her, Slaughter would probably suggest women don’t do themselves any favours by opting out of their professional lives entirely. Slaughter doesn’t advocate that women throw all their energies into either careers or families. Rather, she suggests that women have “contributed
about the climb to leadership not in terms of a straight upward slope, but as irregular stair steps, with periodic plateaus (and even dips), when they turn down promotions to remain in a job that works for their family situation; when they leave high-powered jobs and spend a year or two at home on a reduced schedule; or when they step off a conventional professional track to take a consulting position or project-based work for a number of years.” Employers, too, need to value the entrepreneurial experience that can come from these periodic career irregularities. Rather than

Skate4Life campaign rolls up to Parliament Hill Kristy Strauss

EMC news - Ashley Gilbank lost her childhood friend, Rachel, to suicide. Rachel was only 24 years old. A gifted athlete, she had suffered a brain injury when she was hit by a car while jogging. “She was a perfectionist,” Gilbank said. “She thought
she was putting her family through a lot with her injury. She couldn’t take it any more.” The downtown Ottawa resident felt that there was something she needed to do to raise money for youth mental health. That’s when she decided she was going to strap on her rollerblades and skate 10,000 kilometres across Canada, from

the east to west coast. Her initiative is called Skate4Life and funds raised will go to support Do It For Daron at The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. She was greeted in Ottawa at Parliament Hill July 18 by Do It For Daron supporters, Luke Richardson and Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley. Gilbank said she was excited to arrive in her hometown and added she feels energized even though she still has a long way to go. Gilbank hopes to raise $60,000, but has only raised just under $2,000 so far. “You can hold a golf tournament and make triple the money, but I wanted to do something I thought was challenging for myself and something really difficult,” Gilbank said, adding that before she started training she hadn’t skated more than 30 kilometres in a day. “I’m not the most athletically built, so this is a big challenge.” She said telling others she was about to embark on this journey was difficult, just as it’s difficult for someone with a mental illness to open up about it to others. “When you have a mental illness, you don’t want to tell people,” Gilbank said, adding that she felt people wouldn’t believe she would do it. “I was afraid to tell people.”

Ottawa resident Ashley Gilbank is rollerblading across Canada to raise funds and awareness for youth mental health. She arrived on Parliament Hill and spoke to reporters on July 18. Gilbank started training in Ottawa for about a year and hit the road starting in Newfoundland by dipping a wheel in the Atlantic Ocean on June 4. She’s expected to complete her journey in October on the coast of British Columbia. Throughout her journey so far, she said the biggest challenges she’s been faced with includes some of the roads and weather on the east coast during her first week.
“The first day I had sun I rode 100 kilometres,” she said. To get her through the challenge, Gilbank said there’s a voice in the back of her head that tells her to just keep going. “Your mind wanders and you think about a lot of things,” she said, adding that she tries to give herself small goals throughout the day even though she has a ways to go. “I
have to do this.” In addition to raising money, Gilbank said she hopes to raise awareness of youth mental health. “The biggest thing is to spread the message,” she said. “The funds are great, but it’s about getting the message out.” To donate, visit the Do It For Daron website at doitfordaron. com or www.skate4life2012. com.

Mills. Kanata resident Samantha Cowan has even organized a fundraiser for the artist to help with any of his expenses going forward. “I was really personally affected by (the gallery’s closure),” said Cowan. “I was quite upset because I’d been to so many events of his. By the time he was getting shut down, it was such a success and so many people were coming.” Cowan said she knew she wanted to host the fundraiser for Mills as soon as she found out the gallery and its monthly art parties were getting shut down. “He’s such a generous guy,” she said. “I wanted to give back.” The initiative has given Mills mixed feelings, but he said he’s “very touched.” “Maybe it’s my ego, but I don’t want to be perceived as
someone who needs money,” said Mills. “But it’s great people want to do that.” While the city and Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs wouldn’t comment on specifics, Mills said his gallery and the art parties - which drew hundreds to his home - were shut down because of zoning issues. The gallery was his home, so Mills’ gallery on Hinchey Avenue was located on a property zoned for residential use. Since his gallery has closed, Mills has been busy renovating his home for use as a duplex and has a for sale sign up on part of the property. He added that all the art has been gone too – including 25 sculptors who took their work and more than 30 others who came to collect their paintings. Since Mills said financially

Hintonburg artist Patrick John Mills is owner of the former Patrick John Mills Contemporary Fine Art Gallery. he doesn’t need help from the community, he will take funds raised by the event and hold a free party and barbecue at his house. “I’m not running a business. I wasn’t allowed to have parties before because I had a
business,” he said, adding he’s not sure if bylaw will crack down on the party he will hold at his private home. “I’m just having a house party. It’s in my nature to push things all the time.” The Art for Art: Fundraiser for Patrick John Mills will take place July 27 at the Rainbow Bistro in the Byward Market. The event will feature performers Dynamite Motel, Tindervox, Chaos Moon, Jordan Gow and Owl Eyes Project, who Mills said has performed at the gallery before. From the funds raised, Mills said a free barbecue and party will take place at his house Aug. 18. He’s also keeping the tradition of naming parties that happen at his home, just like he did when he had a business. This time around, the party will be titled Art Is Dead.

PET OF THE WEEK SCOOBY ID#A144927
Scooby is a neutered male three-year-old Pekingese mix who was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on June 19. Scooby loves to look and feel his best – he will need to visit a professional every so often to have his hair done. He may be small in stature but his independent nature shines through – he likes to do things on his own terms and enjoys speaking his mind. With more training and socializing he may become desensitized to other dogs but for now he’s happy not to have to spend much time with them.
ALI ID#A141388 Ali is a neutered male, black Domestic Shorthair cat who is about five years old. He was brought to the shelter as a stray on March 20 but is now available for adoption. Ali would love to curl up in ball on your lap. He’s quite shy until he gets to know you. He gets along best with gentle, calm people who like to sit down with a cat for a cuddle in a calm, quiet home.
SUMMER SAFETY FOR PETS
Every year during the summer months, the OHS Rescue and Investigation Services department receives hundreds of complaints relating to animals and hot weather. Dogs left unattended in parked cars top the list, followed closely by dogs left outside in the sun without water or shelter from the sun.

•On hotter days, monitor your pets’ activity and be careful not to over exert them. Watch for signs of heat stress, excessive panting, disorientation, staring or anxious expression and weakness. Bring your pet to a cool area, gradually lower your pet’s temperature by immersing his or her paws in cold water or hosing him or her down and call your veterinarian immediately.
Ottawa West EMC - Thursday, July 26, 2012
•In summer, asphalt can burn your pet’s paws – keep to the concrete sidewalk or grass. •Shaving a hairy pet for the summer may seem like a good idea, but they can actually get sunburned. Shave your pet at the beginning of the summer before it gets too hot. •In summer, mosquitoes are out in full force. Heartworm prevention medication is recommended and available. See your veterinarian for details. •Flea and tick prevention is important. See your veterinarian for more information. •When you take your dog out for exercise, bring a portable water container for the both of you. •Water should be refreshed or exchanged often, and the bowl should be kept in a cool shaded area.

Hi! My name is Bama and I am a five year old retired racing greyhound. I recently found my forever home thanks to the Greyhound Supporters of the National Capital Region. My happy demeanour, expressive ears and long legs pique the curiosity of my neighbours. I love to meet them and hear them gush over me. I am so charming that even my feline sister -- who commands the highest respect -- is warming up to me!
Dogs do not have the ability to sweat, therefore if they are left for even a short period of time in a car (windows open or not), their lives could be in danger. With their body temperature normally at 39 degrees Celsius, a dog can only endure temperatures barely over 40 degrees Celsius for a very short time before they suffer from heat-stress, irreparable brain damage or death. Please call the OHS emergency line at 613-725-1532 if you see a dog in a car on a hot day.
•If your pet spends lots of time outdoors, make sure there is adequate shelter for protection from the sun/ heat. Outside kennels need to be well ventilated and situated in shaded areas. Clean, fresh water must be accessible at all times.

Ginger carrot soup cool on a warm day Refreshing flavour combination great for light suppers
I
first put this soup recipe in my column a few years ago, and it was so popular that I’m repeating it. The idea of having cold soup rather than hot may seem strange, but it can be wonderfully refreshing on a hot summer day. Chilled soup is no stranger to people living in hot climates. Spanish gazpacho is a tomato-based soup that’s almost like a salad in a bowl. French Vichysoisse, made with potatoes and leeks, is traditionally served cold. And one of my own favourites is a tomato soup flavoured with basil and mint.
PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff When you’re serving a light supper that’s mainly salads and cold cuts, a bowl of chilled soup makes a perfect first course. It whets the appetite, but doesn’t fill you up. This carrot soup is delicious when chilled. It can be served in mugs for a casual outdoor picnic or in your best china soup bowls as a first course for a summer lunch or dinner party. Fresh ginger gives this carrot soup a totally different flavour. Depending on how much you use, the intensity of the flavour will be either just noticeable or very
distinctive. If you’re not sure which you prefer, go for the smaller amount first. The recipe calls for milk, but you can use cream if you want a richer flavour. If you’re a traditionalist, this soup can be served hot rather than cold. GINGER CARROT SOUP
2 tbsp. butter 1 onion, finely chopped 1/2 clove garlic, minced 1 to 2 tsp. grated fresh ginger root 1/2 tsp. curry powder 3 cups sliced carrots 1/4 cup uncooked rice
JULY 27- 29
4 1/2 cups water 2 chicken bouillon cubes 2 cups milk salt, pepper to taste In a large saucepan, melt the butter and cook the onion and garlic until softened. Add the grated ginger and curry powder and cook two or three minutes more without letting the mixture brown. Add the carrots, rice, water, bouillon cubes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat then cover. Simmer until the carrots and rice are cooked, about 45 minutes. Puree in a blender, in two batches if necessary. Add the milk. If you’re serving this hot, return the soup to the saucepan and reheat, without boiling. If serving cold, chill in the refrigerator. Makes six servings.

Bathing suits don’t leave girls bored MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories ally good farm-wife material, coming from New York and all. I knew Mother couldn’t wait to see the last of Aunt Lizzie.

We had to take the wagon, because we all couldn’t fit into the Model T. We five kids never wanted to miss a trip into Renfrew when there was no school and so we piled on the wagon, hanging on for dear life, with Mother, Father and Aunt Lizzie sitting on the one seat at the front.
Lo and behold, when Mother opened it, there were two brand new bathing suits, one for me and one for my sister Audrey. They were identical in style and colour, but of course in two different sizes. They were white and navy stripes and even though it was late in the day, Mother said we could try them on and take a fast run down to the Bon-

Calgary Stampede history on display Kristy Strauss
kristy.strauss@metroland.com
EMC community - Canada Agriculture Museum visitors can go back in time and see real artifacts from cattle ranching and the first 100 years of the Calgary Stampede’s history. “Ranching is part of agriculture, so this was a perfect match for the museum,” said Suzanne Beauvais, assistant curator at the museum. The new display, curated by Franz Klingender, has been on this summer and will run at the museum until November. It features artifacts and cowboy gear from the early days of cattle ranching. Beauvais said the museum already had artifacts in collections that linked to ranching, but received cowboy clothing and equipment from a family whose grandfather used in early 20th-century Alberta. “We had a wonderful western saddle, we got the gun they used, a Hudson Bay blanket
and cowboy boots,” said Beauvais. Those articles were in addition to many other tools and artifacts. As part of the exhibit, she said the museum shows “real life” during the early years of the Calgary Stampede and the changing culture of the cowboy during the early part of the last century. “There was the idea that the cowboy was something getting lost and the culture was getting lost,” said Beauvais, adding the Calgary Stampede has always celebrated that culture. Photos from the stampede’s official photographer, an American named Marcus Belmont Marcell, are also on display. Some of these early photos show interesting things, said Beauvais, like the different nations that competed in the stampede.

nechere and have a dip. Well, you never saw two girls strip down so fast in your life. Audrey and I never even stopped to dip our toes in the water to test it first. We dove in and bobbed up and down, splashed each other and got the suits thoroughly soaked. Mother had told us we could only stay in the water a few minutes, just long enough to try out the new swim suits. There was supper to think of as we climbed out of the water. The suits were as stiff as boards. Audrey’s didn’t look too bad because she had a figure underneath. But mine completely left my body and kept the water locked in it like a sealed drum. The weight of the water caused the suit to leave my upper body, and it stretched all the way down to my knees. I couldn’t wait to get rid of it and Audrey and I waddled our way back home to show Mother what had happened and have her try to explain why two lovely bathing suits had turned into suits of armour when they got wet. “They’re pure wool - that’s why,” Mother said, as she turned the suits inside out to examine them more closely. Well, as they dried over the back fence, they stayed stiff as boards and as they dried they got smaller and smaller, which suited Audrey and me just fine. Neither of us had any intention of ever wearing them again. It was back to the homemade broadcloth bloomers and blousettes for us. Of course, we had to write Aunt Lizzie thank you letters and we were never allowed to lie. I told her thanks, saying I had never had a store-bought bathing suit before, and the colour was very nice. I didn’t tell her that both suits had been put in the trunk upstairs or that one day they could probably be seen in one of the braided rugs Mother made every fall out of old scraps of wool material rescued from the hand-me-down box.

I
can’t believe you let those girls go swimming in their underwear,” Aunt Lizzie said at the supper table. “It really isn’t underwear,” my sister Audrey said. And she explained how Mother had made bloomer-like bottoms and sleeveless tops, because we couldn’t afford real swimming suits from Walker’s Store in Renfrew. She told Aunt Lizzie just about all the girls on the Northcote Side Road were similarly dressed when they swam in the Bonnechere. Well, not my little friend Joyce. But she lived in a brick house and had a real flush toilet in their bathroom. No backyard outhouse and Eaton’s catalogue on a spike at their farm! She had a real bathing suit and a bright red rubber bathing cap and matching rubber shoes. But she was still my friend and it made no difference to Joyce that I was dressed in hand-me-downs or home-made blouses and dresses out of flour bag and wore an outfit Mother had made out of broadcloth at nine cents-a-yard at Walker’s Store to swim in. But it seemed to be a major issue to Aunt Lizzie and she wasn’t going to let it die. She continued to harp on it right up until it was time to go to bed, adding in her usual subtle way, that Mother wasn’t re-
Now that summer has arrived, the itch has set in to get outside and resume exciting outdoor runs instead of logging hours on the dreaded treadmill. Visualize a cool, clear, Sunday afternoon as you prepare to head out for a jog. Your running shoes are tightly tied and right before you begin, you complete your usual stretching routine: one or two minutes of hamstring and calf stretches, and then you’re off. Right? Wrong! A cold muscle should never be stretched in any way. You should always complete a warmup before you stretch. Contrary to popular belief, stretching is not warming up; it is only one part of your warm up. A proper warm up typically includes 5 minutes of aerobic activities such as running in place
or skipping rope to get your heart pumping. Increased blood flow to your muscles decreases the likelihood of injury and increases flexibility. Once your warm up is complete, you should perform dynamic stretches as opposed to static ones if you are about to partake in any sort of athletic activity. Static stretches consist of long sustained holds, where dynamic stretches include slow controlled movements such as arm circles, knee, and hip rotations. This type of stretching prepares you for exercise that include a lot of dynamic activity. One of the most common mistakes people make is to perform static stretches before their fitness session followed by nothing afterwards. The time and
place for static stretching is after your workout or athletic event. Static stretches should be held for approximately 30 seconds to obtain maximal muscle lengthening and flexibility. A visit to yourlocal Family Physiotherapist can help maximize your flexibility and prevent injury by developing a detailed stretching regimen for you to follow.

You can get updates about power restoration by calling Hydro Ottawa at 613-738-0188; or from your wireless, mobile device at www.hydroottawa.com/outages. Make sure you have enough water, as well as easy-to-store food that does not need refrigeration or cooking. Keep flashlights and batteries ready. A battery-powered or wind-up radio would be helpful. In the event of an extended outage, turn off or unplug appliances including air conditioners and electronics to help avoid a power surge when the electricity is restored. Keep your refrigerator and freezer doors shut as much as possible – food will keep for 12 hours in the refrigerator and 24 to 48 hours in a freezer. To ensure your safety, ensure no one goes near downed power lines. Never use barbecues, camp stoves or generators indoors. If you use a fireplace for heat, ensure that your chimney is free of creosote buildup or debris. Use flashlights rather than candles; if you must use candles, place them in a non-combustible container away from drapes and carpets. In an extended winter outage, shut off power to the electric water heater, shut off water at the main valve (usually found in the basement near the water meter), open taps to drain the pipes and leave taps open, flush toilets to empty them, and drain the dishwasher and washing machine.

EMC entertainment - Get ready to put dancing shoes on as Ottawa-based Dang Guilty celebrates their first studio album in the Glebe with an allout rocking release party. A three piece ensemble, the band comprises of two high school classmates Joel Hayward on vocals and guitars and bassist James Rooke, along with Andy Clapson on drums. Dang Guilty plays a little bit of rhythm and blues, surf rock and old fashioned rock and roll - all with a country heart. Likened to music from a Quentin Tarantino soundtrack, the band loves putting on a great show for old and new fans alike. “The biggest thing is we always aim to throw a party,” Hayward said. “So it will be a fun atmosphere with lots of dancing.” The CD release party will take place at Irene’s Pub in the Glebe on July 28. The band is looking forward to performing at the pub for the first time. “It is our first time playing here,” Hayward said. “But as a band, it will be an honour, as it is one of the main staples to play at in Ottawa.” The band spent 30 hours in the studio recording the fivesong EP, Tail Draggin’. “Initially I bring in my songs, with the melody and the lyrics, but then James (Rooke) is really good at the arrangement and Andy (Clapson) is an awesome drummer who comes up with these great hooks,” Hayward said. “At the end of the day, really, we are all composers.” Most of the tracks were laid down in one take. Hayward said they love their sound when they are performing and wanted to emulate that as much as possible in the studio. “Sometime overworking a song can be too much,” Hayward said. “And we are happy with our end product.” Every thing about the re-
lease has been handled with care by the band, including 150 hand-made limited edition copies. “We burnt the CDs ourselves and now are still in the process (of) working on the cover art,” Hayward said. Describing the album covers, Hayward said it will have will all be hand printed. With only 150 copies available for sale at the release party, Hayward said he hopes fans will enjoy and appreciate the effort. After the release party, the EP will only be available for download at dangguilty. bandcamp.com. “If you want something special, you should come out to the party,” Hayward said. The evening includes an opening set from The Pelts and Charles de Lint, an award-winning fantasy author and folk musician who is a long-time friend of the band. “I got heavily involved in the folk scene when I moved here,” Hayward said. “Ottawa has a really good folk scene.” The party gets underway at 9 p.m., and there is a $7 cover charge.

‘We’re concerned it will become condo alley’ Continued from page 1
“The city wants intensification. Fine,” he wrote in an email. “Two stories to 14 stories is still intensification.” Burke added there are other developments coming forward in the community, too, including a development at Burnside and Parkdale Avenues, the recent 28-storey tower that was recently approved for 99 Parkdale, and two new towers that were also recently approved for 1050 Somerset St. West. “We’re concerned it will become condo alley,” said Burke.
“It’s certainly an issue. It can take 45 minutes to get from the bottom of Parkdale Avenue to the Queensway. People think it’s totally out of control.” Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs said she’s hoping to see more information soon, but until then said she wants to make sure there’s still open space in the area. “It’s higher because it’s narrower, and you can create permanent open space,” said Hobbs. “That’s the kind of thing we’re looking for in these buildings.”

She added that it would be an ideal spot for open space. “It’s not a great streetscape right now,” Hobbs said. “We’ve got the (Parkdale) market, but when you get close to Tunney’s Pasture, there’s not a lot of things to do for the community.” She also said she would want the development to have an “appropriate transition,” and that it would be ideal for the building to have a bigger setback from other properties. Burke said she feels this new development and others wouldn’t enhance the established Mechanicsville community and is hoping to organize a meeting with the developer to tell them their concerns. Both Burke and Andrecheck said developments are happening quickly in their neighbourhood at a time when they don’t have a community association and residents might get help from the nearby Hintonburg Community Association. “Some residents have made a request to join with the Hintonburg CommunityAssociation in discussions with developers and the city on projects plans and zoning,” said Andrecheck. “This proposal has been well received by the HCA and discussions are underway.”
