EMC community - There might not be any prizes on the line, but bragging rights are enough to get Carlington and Hintonburg involved in a massive water fight at Hampton Park on Aug. 18. The time and place - high noon, on neutral territory. “As usual, it was my illconsidered tweets,” said Hintonburg Community Association president Jeff Leiper, explaining how the idea of the water fight unfolded. “We’ve put ourselves in so much trouble with Twitter, we really shouldn’t be allowed on it.” Leiper decided to pose the challenge after following Carlington’s tweets and noticing how active they were in their community. “I thought this was a cool community,” he said. “For some time, we’ve been thinking of strengthening our relationship with Carlington.” When Leiper presented the challenge, Carlington Community Association president Josh McJannett said he couldn’t turn it down. “I couldn’t say no,” he said. “I thought, maybe Hintonburg has lost their edge a little bit and traded it in for ironic T-shirts and hipster beards.” Within half an hour, the duo had agreed on a proper turf and time. As McJannett jokes that he gets pumped in preparation to the Rocky theme every morning, Leiper voices some concern that Hintonburg might not win. “We’ve been thinking about it . . . that’s about it,” he said.

Mechanicsville, Hintonburg to possibly join forces Kristy Strauss

EMC news - Mechanicsville is growing fast, so fast that some residents are looking for a little help from their neighbours over in Hintonburg. “We agreed that were was no community association in Mechanicsville and in the (Hintonburg Community Association’s) constitution, they can represent neighbouring areas,” said Mike Andrecheck, who’s one of the Mechanicsville residents hoping to join forces with the Hintonburg Community Association when it comes to planning issues. Andrecheck said the idea was a mutual agreement between some residents in Mechanicsville and the Hintonburg Community Association after the community was facing the city’s planning committee over the 99 Parkdale Ave. development - another

Katherine Hobbs said a resident of Hintonburg cannot represent somebody from Mechanicsville when making comments about a development being built in Mechanicsville. “We always welcome any community association or any member of the public to make comments,” she said.

Charity turns to community for help after arson kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC news - The Ottawa Neighbourhood Services warehouse still has the lingering smell of smoke, weeks after arson destroyed thousands of dollars worth of goods that would have gone to help those in need. Now, the organization – which helps some people who are also victims of arson – finds themselves looking to the community for help. “It’s a crushing blow, like a boulder has landed on top of us,” said Patricia Lemieux, president of Ottawa Neighbourhood Services. The 80-year-old organization had just celebrated its anniversary a couple weeks earlier when the fire was set outside the building at City Centre.

Lemieux said she got the call at about 8:30 that morning, and said she was shocked. “I didn’t want to go alone,” she said, so she tried to track down some volunteers at the warehouse who could go with her to see how much damage there was. She got a hold of two volunteers who met her at the site when she looked at the damage. Coincidently, Lemieux said a group of students from the United States were scheduled to help out at the organization. The students helped a great deal, she said, and managed to sort out and salvage clothing that had been donated. “Had they never had the opportunity to work out here, no doubt we would have been overwhelmed,” Lemieux said. “They stuck by us.”

She said a group from Carleton University also lent a helping hand cleaning up. Ottawa Neighbourhood Services is now in desperate need of funding to stay afloat, said Lemieux. “We’re really struggling,” she said. “Any little amount will help us out. We are in desperate need of some kind of funding.”

The organization has set up a Fire Assistance Program through the Bank of Montreal. The bank code is 001, transit number 03566, account number 1998118. Lemieux said donors can get tax receipts for larger donations. Because of the lingering smell of smoke, Lemieux said she’s tried to get all the fur-

niture and mattresses moved closer to the front of the store. “I don’t want to give somebody something that will make them sick from the smell,” she said, adding one family who was a victim of fire themselves picked out some of the furniture that had remained. Lemieux said it’s lucky that nobody was injured in the fire.

She said whoever committed the arson could also ultimately be responsible for destroying an organization that’s helped the community for 80 years, sending items out to about 30 social service partners. “It’s tough right now and unless we get support from somewhere, I don’t know if we’ll continue,” she said. “It’s really tight right now.” R0011515387

EMC news - Nicolas Gauvin wants to make sure the collections at the Canadian War Museum and the Museum of Civilization are accessible to everyone, whether or not they live in Ottawa. “There’s a national museum in Ottawa with a big collection and so much knowledge,” said Gauvin, director, travelling exhibitions, planning and partnerships with the Canadian War Museum. “We want (visitors) to discover the richness of our history without making a special trip to Ottawa.” Gauvin said he’s been with the museum for almost 12 years, and said it has always had travelling exhibitions. This year, exhibits from the museums will visit locations from coast-to-coast. Some of the exhibits include Profit and Ambition at The Exploration Place in Prince George, B.C., which retraces the rise and fall of the Montreal-based North West Company - a commercial empire that pushed fur trade routes to the Pacific Ocean. Another exhibit will be at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, where visitors will be able to see Inuit Prints: Japanese Inspiration - which shows rare Inuit and Japanese prints

Frank Wimart, CMCC

Nicolas Gauvin, director, traveling exhibitions, planning and partnerships, said the War Museum and Museum of Civilization want their exhibits to be more accessible to Canadians. from the late 1950s and early 1960s. At the Musée maritime du Québec in the municipality of L’Islet, Expedition: Arctic will be making its debut that shows the triumphs and tragedies of the Canadian Arctic Expedition of 1913 to 1918. As the War Museum honours the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812, it will also have an exhibit at the Penetanguishene Centennial Museum and Archives in Penetanguishene, Ont. The exhibit shows a new and dramatic account of the War of 1812 as seen through

the eyes of all the participants: Canadians, Americans, British and Native American people. Gauvin said it’s a good opportunity for the museums in Ottawa to work with others across the country. “We can travel almost anywhere,” he said. “I must admit, I’m very proud of our Canadian services and the efforts we’re taking to be more accessible to (visitors). We’re making the effort to reach out to people everywhere, especially in Canada, and we are preparing projects that are very interesting that people can see wherever they are.”

Polly McColl is helping organize two events coming up this month hosted by the Friends of the Central Experimental Farms.

Art show, Victorian tea to raise money for Friends Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC events - Victorian tea, homemade goodies and art are just some of the things residents can expect from the Friends of the Central Experimental Farm this month. The group will be holding two fundraisers - a Victorian Tea and the annual Art on the Farm event - on Aug. 12 and 25, respectively. “The money goes back into the farm,” said Polly McColl, a volunteer with the group who is helping to organize the events. The Friends of the Central Experimental Farm help preserve, protect, maintain and enhance the Dominion Arboretum, the Ornamental Gardens, the Merivale Shelterbelt and other areas of the farm. McColl said keeping up aspects of the gardens can get expensive and the group relies on events like the Victorian Tea and Art on the Farm to help raise money. As part of the Victorian Tea on Aug. 12, tea and homemade scones, jam and butter will be served in addition to ﬁnger sandwiches and cookies. McColl said the participants will also have service that will feel like they’ve been taken back in time. “Our servers and tea pourers get dressed up in Victorian costumes, or a hat,” said McColl, adding that participants are encouraged to dress up too. There will be a “best hat”

contest at 3:15 p.m. that includes a door prize made by McColl. She said high school students are also involved in helping with clean up and bussing tables during the event. “We encourage students to work with us,” she said, adding the event has about 50 volunteers who put in a full day from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. helping in the set up and take down the event that actually just runs from 2 to 4 p.m. The admission to the Victorian Tea is free and it’s $8 for formal tea. Participants are encouraged to bring a patio chair as they can also listen to live music. The event will be held on the lawns of the arbo-

retum, but if it rains, it will be held inside Building 72, east off the Prince of Wales roundabout. Art on the Farm, which takes place Aug. 25 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., has a rain date of Aug. 26 and admission to that is free. McColl said artists will be set up under the trees in the area between Maple Avenue and the old green houses. “It’s various kinds of art,” she said, adding that exhibits include poetry, painting, sculpting and jewelry. For more information on upcoming events being hosted by the Friends or to become a member, visit their website at friendsofthefarm.ca.

EMC news - A local group is urging the city – and fellow residents – to act now before it’s too late to protect ash trees from insect devastation. The city recently pledged an additional $1 million to combat the emerald ash borer, a type of beetle that is killing trees across the city. But that $1 million is going to go to waste if the city doesn’t act soon, according to the Greenspace Alliance. The advocacy group is pushing the city to earmark at least 75 per cent of the new funding towards TreeAzin injections that can protect ash trees from the effects of the EAB for about two years. That amount of money could save an additional 3,000 trees in Ottawa that would otherwise die and have to be chopped down. However, injections must be done before Aug. 31 to be effective, according to Paul Bolan, vice president and operations manager at BioForest Technologies, the company that produces TreeAzin in Canada. But since making the funding announcement on July 8, the city has been mum on what exactly it plans to do with the money, said Sol Shuster, chairman of the Greenbelt Alliance’s emerald ash borer working group, in a statement. The city has told the group it will announce plans for the money sometime in August, but that leads Shuster to worry the money will mostly be used to cut down and dispose of infected ash trees, instead of trying to save them before Septem-

ber. City staff have the authority to decide how the money for the emerald ash borer strategy is spent, said city spokeswoman Nikki Eaton. But the city refused to provide any detail or breakdown of how the money is being spent, other than that the money allows for an “enhanced plan that includes additional measures.” “There is currently no solid breakdown to provide,” Eaton wrote in an email. “The key is that staff doesn’t need to come back to the (environment) committee with a plan before they spend the additional funds. The extra money is going to be incorporated into the existing emerald ash borer strategy which includes both tree planting and tree injections.” The city’s forestry department will present to environment committee and council at a later date, likely in the fall, to report how it spent the money, Eaton wrote. There are 10 tree-care companies in Ottawa that can provide TreeAzin treatments and the city could still make an impact through treating trees if it adds more of those contractors to its approved list and sends them all to work in the last few weeks of August. If it’s not done, thousands of city ash trees will be dead by spring, Shuster said. SAVE A TREE

Residents can step in to

save a tree, too. The city is allowing citizens to pay for TreeAzin treatments for cityowned trees infected with the emerald ash borer. It costs about $250 per tree to treat with TreeAzin. That treatment is good for two years and experts believe that treatments can be discontinued after six to 10 years. There are also other treatments on the horizon, such as introducing a small, stingless parasitoid wasp, or a fungal pathogen that can kill the emerald ash borer, according to Meg Sears, another member of the Greenbelt Alliance ash borer working group. Prolonging the lives of significant but infected ash trees could allow another treatment to be used once it is discovered. Saving trees has many benefits, according to the Greenspace Alliance. Mature trees provide habitats for wildlife, improve air quality, provide cooling shade to reduce energy costs and boost property values. The emerald ash borer was first observed in Ottawa in 2008 and poses a threat to 25 per cent of the city’s tree canopy. The Greenspace Alliance has set up a website with information about the emerald ash borer at saveourashtrees. ca. There is also information on the city’s website, ottawa. ca, which can be found by searching for “emerald ash borer.”

Students stop in Ottawa as part of cross-country bike trek Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC news - Graham May needs to get back to school in New Brunswick by September, but he wanted to do it in the most sustainable way possible - that is, biking from British Columbia as part of the GrassRoutes Tour. “I wanted to get to school in a sustainable way,” said the British Columbia native, who stopped in Ottawa with four of his fellow cyclists on Aug. 1 and 2. Along the way, May and fellow cyclists Louis Plottel of NYU Abu Dhabi, Georgia Williams of Langara College in Vancouver and Cello Mizumoto of College of the Atlantic in Maine have given presentations and workshops to youth to try and promote sustainability and inspire youth to take steps to protect the environment in their own communities. “It’s been incredible,” said Plottel. “We get to experience the country with all of our senses. You see and feel everything.” The group left the tour in Victoria and has been aiming to bike about 100 kilometres a day. The team is also raising money for a Youth Action Fund which goes to support youth-led initiatives in Canada and Britain. The team hopes to leave a trail of youth-led

projects across Canada that benefit the environment. May’s school, Mount Allison University, is also supporting the tour with a $600 grant through Leadership Mount Allison. While May said there has been positive aspects of seeing parts of the country he wouldn’t normally see, like northern Ontario, the group has its daily challenges. Mizumoto said it’s important for everyone to feel well and get enough sleep. “There are some days when it’s raining or the weather isn’t good or you didn’t get enough sleep and that affects the group dynamic,” she said. To get through some of the daily challenges, Williams said it’s important to set small goals. “You have to break it down,” she said. The group said they were happy to arrive in Ottawa and were even able to take a day off and enjoy the city. They said they found Ottawa easy to ride through, especially with the city’s bike paths and even the drivers. “Drivers in Toronto do not share the road,” Williams laughed, adding Ottawa was a much better experience. May added that it felt good to make the stop in Ottawa, especially after the long trip they’ve had so far.

Investing in cycling will pay dividends

ust how bike friendly is Ottawa? The municipality has certainly been recognized in the past for its network of multi-use paths and cycling infrastructure. In 2010, Ottawa was one of four Canadian municipalities awarded a silver designation in the Bicycle Friendly Community Award Program, sponsored by the Bicycle Trade Association of Canada and Trek Canada. A study released in 2004 showed Ottawa had

the highest percentage of bike commuters among all major municipalities in North America. Nearly three per cent of all Ottawans commuted to work using a bike, according to the study prepared by Market Opinion Research International. The city is hoping to increase the number of people who commute by bicycle to work, an ambitious but obtainable goal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not exactly talking about re-inventing the wheel here.

The city is on the right path with its 20-year plan to improve cycling infrastructure and educating both cyclists and motorists alike. Ottawa is a geographically large city, with more than 6,000 kilometres of roads, 1,500 kilometres of sidewalks, 300 kilometres of multi-use pathways and 150 kilometres of on-road cycling facilities, The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cycling plan aims to make biking to work a more attractive option by increasing the number of bike lanes, paved shoulders,

wide-curb lanes on multi-lane roads and off-road pathways maintained by both the city and the National Capital Commission. It hopes to increase the number of trips taken by a bike from 4,500 in 2001 to 12,000 by 2021. Again, ambitious but doable. This week, Metroland Media presented the first of a two-part series on commuting in Ottawa by bicycle. The reporters tested four mostly off-road cycling routes from different parts of the city: Orleans, Kanata, Nepean

and Barrhaven. For the most part, the team was pleasantly surprised by how little time they had to spend on roads sharing lanes with fast-moving traffic. Both the city and the NCC possess an impressive network of off-route multi-use paths across Ottawa-Gatineau. But there is definitely room for improvement. Namely, connecting broken cycling links, improving signage and creating more bike-only lanes. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, one of the biggest fears people have is sharing the road with fast-moving vehicles. Our team of cycling reporters encountered bike lanes that

suddenly ended and problems travelling on roads with other traffic near highway exit and entrance ramps. Some of the cyclists we interviewed complained about sharing narrow lanes with other vehicles and streets missing bike lanes. But in general, the cyclists we spoke to said they enjoyed travelling to work â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially while travelling on the multiuse pathways maintained by the city and the NCC. Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investment in its cycling infrastructure will pay dividends over the coming years by convincing more motorists to park their cars and instead enjoy a leisurely cycle to work.

hate breastfeeding. There you have it: The one thing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not allowed to say in our culture. We can talk sex, drugs and rock nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll, but no one is allowed to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hate breastfeedingâ&#x20AC;? at a time when public health, the hospitals, the midwives, the World Health Organization and your mother-in-law advocate breastfeeding for up to two years of babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. But I hate it. And hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why. Just the other night, I spent an hour waking my 10-day-old baby from a most glorious evening nap. (Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit sleepy and the consultants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yes, they have highly paid consultants for breastfeeding â&#x20AC;&#x201C; told me I had to feed her a minimum of every three hours â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;round the clock. Strike one for breastfeeding.) I gave her a bath, tickled her toes, and got her completely naked, all while she slept peacefully. When she finally woke up after three-quarters of an hour of terrible abuse, I spent the next 45 minutes trying to latch a screaming, red, naked thing on to a painfully full breast to no avail. (Strike two for breastfeeding). I then danced around the living room half naked to Lullabies of the World for a quarter of an hour (strike three), only to trick her into suckling while we were still moving. I finally sat down in the designated breastfeeding chair, which has become a near-permanent part of my butt due to the 17 hours each day I spend there (strike four). I was sweaty and exhausted, but fully prepared to look down at babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gorgeous little face and coach her through the feed. Would you

believe it? There was Little Darling with her left hand beside her cheek, and I kid you not, she was flipping me the bird. (Strike five.) No doubt about it, breastfeeding really sucks. (Pun intended.) You can call me selfish â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure you will â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but frankly, I have better things to do than sit in a chair for an hour every two hours and tickle the toes of a sleepy baby. I could be working, exercising, playing with my other children, or cooking a meal. Crikey, in 17 hours a day, I could be writing the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest novel! But nope, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s me, tethered to a chair, attempting to nourish the baby and watching basic cable to take the edge of the boredom. This is the third time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done this, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a matter of novelty. I stuck it out with the other two because of the purported health benefits for both mother and baby, despite the fact I believe some of them to be overblown. Sure nursing a baby helps your uterus to contract post-birth, for example. But frankly, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come off my middle has certainly just been tacked on to my rear end, on which I sit all day. Can we say pear-shaped? I may be the only one bold enough to say it out loud, but I know there are other moms thinking daily about how much they hate breastfeeding. In fact, just the other day, a friend and first-time mother had this to say on Facebook: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone talks about pregnancy and cravings. No one tells u about hunger, feeding a baby, no time for food and a feed/sleep schedule. I just ate a cob of corn standing beside the garbage after it sat in a pot cold for 6 hrs in under 3 minutes.â&#x20AC;? And that, my friends, is the reality of a breastfeeding mother. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even touched on the pumping, wet face cloths, cracked nipples and such. Believe me, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing glamorous about this exercise, despite public healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempts to make you think so. For the sake of a few dollars and the potential to ward off cancer, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep going for the moment. But if Little Darling flips me the bird again, I may just have to get out the bottles.

Ontario asks federal government to begin drought relief program Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - The Ontario government has asked the Harper government to consider a disaster relief program for drought-stricken farmers across the province. Ontario Agriculture Minister Ted McMeekin visited Foster Farms in North Gower on Tuesday, July 31 to announce he has officially asked Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to begin the process of determining which parts of Ontario can quality for financial support through the AgriRecovery disaster relief program, as a result of the extremely hot and dry weather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conditions vary across the province,â&#x20AC;? McMeekin told a small gathering of farmers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some areas are reporting excellent crops, while some believe they are facing disaster.â&#x20AC;? Farmers in areas identified as â&#x20AC;&#x153;prescribed drought regionsâ&#x20AC;? will have access to upfront payments to offset their losses and full disaster relief will be paid out once crops are harvested and total losses are calculated. Determining which areas are in a disaster situation will take about 45 days, McMeekin said, but said he has kick-started the process about six weeks earlier than usual in order to help livestock farmers make prudent decisions as soon as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Livestock producers are dealing with dry pastures and

reduced hay yields and some are trying to figure out just how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feed their animals this winter,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough situation.â&#x20AC;? Some farmers are selling cattle so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to feed them, while others are scrambling to source feed from other parts of the province. Identifying the regions will also allow struggling farmers in those areas to defer part of their sale proceeds to a future tax year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to manage through a tough situation,â&#x20AC;? McMeekin said. He also confirmed that farmers in drought regions will be protected from reductions in their agricultural stability coverage if they are forced to cull part of their breeding stock because of forage shortages. Retired North Gower farmer and Ottawa Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association secretary John Newman said this announcement is in response to pressure from farmers to make decisions about disaster relief, as they run out of feed and money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The farmers have all been saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tell me what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on today,â&#x20AC;? he said. Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod said McMeekinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call for AgriRecovery is â&#x20AC;&#x153;two weeks too late.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He disappointed me, it

He should have been on the ground assessing it.â&#x20AC;? Late or not, Newman said the province is on the right track by asking the federal government to step in and begin assessments for disaster relief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question that the province is doing the right

thing,â&#x20AC;? he said. McMeekin did not announce any new money for a provincial disaster relief program, but stressed that the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;permanent and predictableâ&#x20AC;? relief programs will do their job to protect Ontario farmers. The province offers a range of production insurance programs, which farmers can choose to pay into like any other insurance program. When disaster strikes, those

with insurance can make claims for financial assistance, including interim payments that would be made throughout the season before final losses are calculated. Another program, AgriStability, is an income insurance program that offsets the difference if a farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income is well below his or her annual average. These programs are managed by the Ontario government agency, Agricorp. Another program, AgriIn-

vest, is delivered by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and works like a savings account that farmers can use to cover small income declines or to support investments. They can deposit 1.5 per cent of their net sales each year, which can be withdrawn any time. Newman recognized that the problem with AgriStability and the other provincial programs is that not everyone has bought into them and therefore it may be tricky to treat everyone fairly when it comes to disaster relief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How are you going to treat people who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t signed onto the AgriStability program, to be fair? Because everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the same boat stress-wise, but I paid $10,000 for crop insurance and you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay anything,â&#x20AC;? he said. He suggested that offering relief to everyone while retroactively taking insurance premiums off cheques could be a palatable solution. McMeekin encouraged farmers to call Agricorp and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to discuss their options. In the meantime, he said the government will continue to monitor the situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early to know the full implications of the current dry conditions, we are evaluating the situation daily and will continue to do so,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Survival sex: the realities of prostitution Desmond Devoy

EMC news - No little girl wants to grow up to become a sex worker. But when that little girl grows up and has a little girl of her own to feed, she may feel she has no choice to buy food or pay the rent. Having sex to pay for baby formula may not be the most palatable reason why a woman would go into sex work, but it is one of the reasons why Lanark County Interval House brought the issue into sharp focus at a presentation on the trade in Carleton Place last month. “Because we are a rural community we think that sex work does not happen in Lanark County,” said Erin Lee-Todd, executive director of Interval House. “It is absolutely a reality in Lanark County…We all need to be mindful that it is happening.” Lindsay Blewett is a sex worker and a volunteer with POWER (Prostitutes of Ottawa/Gatineau Work, Educate, Resist). She said she hoped her presentation would give the assembled service providers some insight into her work. Her presentation, entitled XXX Workshop: Realities, Issues and Challenges for Service Providers, was shared at the Carleton Place Canoe Club on June 14.

to johns who had been caught soliciting from prostitutes. But many sex workers did not approve of this method. “The John Letters re-stigmatize workers,” said POWER chairwoman Emily Symons. “The letters were not helpful at all. The perception I get from the police force over and over again is, ‘We don’t want to work with you.” Blewett went further, stating that police assertions that “‘We’re collaborating with sex workers,’ is a total joke. They contacted us once.” Insp. Uday Jaswal of the

Ottawa police central district said he has met Symons over coffee and that the department has been in contact with them a number of times, both formally and informally. “They are able to report bad dates and assaults to police,” said Jaswal, who pointed out ofﬁcers have been assigned “to meet these women where they are at” to better understand the situation.

OLDEST PROFESSION

The POWER presenters expressed frustration with dealing with the Ottawa police. “The police really do not want to work with us,” said Blewett. “We tried to call for a moratorium on street sweeps on hookers. We were rejected.” Several years ago, the Ottawa police started a John Letter program, which was sent

Blewett said she wished she had some insight into the sex worker trade before she entered her profession. “I didn’t do any research,” said Blewett. “I just jumped in… consequences be damned.” Symons noted that prostitution was the so-called oldest profession for a reason, and that a ﬁnancial incentive in exchange for sex should

Other business transactions that involve an intimate relationship of another sort – think day care – are seen differently than prostitution. “We need to give that respect to sex work,” said Symons. Lee-Todd said there has been an ongoing debate about whether or not sex work should be considered a form of violence against women within the women’s shelter community. “People will be ﬁrmly rooted on either side,” LeeTodd said, with some in the “abolitionist” camp, while others consider it “valuable work.” She added it’s important

To Ice or Not to Ice? That is the question

R0011539389/0809

desmond.devoy@metroland. com

By: Your Local Family Physiotherapy Team Ever wonder when you should be using ice on an injury? An ice pack can become a great ally in the rehabilitation process, but only if used correctly.

Ice is typically used for injuries where there is inflammation (redness, heat, swelling, pain, and loss of function). Applying an ice pack within the first 24-48 hours to an injury where inflammation is present should help to reduce both pain and swelling around the area. Ice can also be used as a preventative treatment in more chronic conditions caused by overuse or repetitive strain (i.e. tennis elbow). In these particular cases, ice should only be

applied to the injured area after activity to help control the inﬂammation. Never apply ice to a chronically injured area before physical activity. Take the following steps to get maximal beneﬁts from your ice: 1. Ice immediately after a new injury (i.e. acute ankle sprain), or after you have irritated your chronic injury (i.e. shin splints)

2. Ensure a layeris between the ice and your skin. Wrapping anice pack in a wet hand cloth and placing it over the painful areais a safe and effective way to ice. 3. Ice for a maximum of 15 minutes. Icing for any longer may result in damage to your

tissues. 4. Elevate your injured limb to enhance the reduction in swelling. 5. Put 2 hours between consecutive icings to keep the icing effective. Make sure you have full sensation and the skin is warm to the touch before you start icing again.

To Ice or Not to Ice? That is the question

to open the dialogue and think differently, outside of stereotypes, and have a discussion about a difﬁcult subject. Stefanie Lomatski, executive director of the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women, said some who work in the trade do so out of necessity, not by choice. “If women do not have enough money to get to the end of the month, they may have to go that route,” said Lomatski. “Survival sex is not in that realm of choice or free agency. Not all women are in a position to make a choice.” Another stereotype the women sought to dispel was the issue of safe sex and STDs. “Sex workers use condoms more so than the general public,” said Symons. “Our body is our tool to make money.” Rob Boyd of the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre’s Oasis program in downtown Ottawa, agreed that “if you are practicing safer sex… there is minimal to no risk.” “Most (sex workers) would do their best to protect their own health,” said Boyd, noting they pick up free condoms at his Ottawa clinic, though he added that some men do pay extra for sex without protection.

While medical help for sex workers is an ongoing issue, the women revealed that accessing mental health resources is also a concern for them. “My therapist was convinced that I was depressed because I was a sex worker,” said Blewett. “Everything keeps coming back to our work.” Boyd said his clinic tries to create a “stigma-free zone…to provide a space where people are safe to disclose and they

Canada loses 4-3 heartbreaker to Americans Morgan scores in extra time to seal spot in gold medal game EMC Sports - Christine Sinclair showed why she is considered one of the best, if not the very best, female soccer player on the planet Monday. And it still wasn’t quite enough. The 29-year-old Burnaby, B.C., native carried the Canadian women’s soccer team into extra time against the United States, scoring all three of her team’s goals in the Olympic semifinal game at Old Trafford stadium in Manchester, but the number one-ranked Americans still prevailed 4-3. Sinclair gave Canada three separate leads in the game, but each time the U.S. tied it back up, the third time on a penalty kick in the 80th minute by Abby Wambach. Alex Morgan then scored the winner deep into the second overtime period. A win would have been an

incredible accomplishment for a Canadian side that had never reached the semifinals before, and hadn’t beaten the U.S. since 2001. Canada can still salvage a medal out of the tournament, facing France in the bronze medal match Thursday at 8 a.m. ET. The U.S. will play Japan for gold at 2:45 p.m. “They’ve come to see the flag rise,” said head coach John Herdman after the match. “That’s the job. They came here for that and the job is not finished. They’ll be disappointed tonight because it won’t be gold or silver, but we’ll take a medal from this tournament.” Ajax’s Candace Chapman, an important veteran defender on the Canadian team, again dressed but did not play. She has not seen the field since hobbling off in an opening 2-1 loss to Japan with a calf injury.

Simon Whitfield knocked out of Olympic triathlon after bike crash EMC Sports - Simon Whitfield has been knocked out of the Olympic triathlon after crashing early in the bike race. The Canadian flag bearer was in good position after a 1.5-kilometre swim but had his bike veer hard into a metal guardrail after coming over a small speed bump.

EMC Sports - Canada stayed true to itself in its Olympic women’s basketball swansong. Trouble was, so did the United States. Canada played its usual deliberate, physical style but simply didn’t have enough firepower to handle a de facto WNBA all-star team as the Americans registered a typically easy 91-48 victory in the Olympic quarter-finals Tuesday. The United States has won 39 straight women’s Olympic basketball games and it’s a

virtual certainly they will win their fifth gold medal in a row n Saturday’s final. Playing before a crowd of 8,915 that included LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Deron Williams, the Canadians hung around for a bit before the Americans got rolling. The United States led 198 after one quarter, 42-21 at halftime and 68-31 after three as they simply wore down Canada. The last Olympics game an American women’s team lost was the semifinal of the 1992 Barcelona Games to the Unified Team.

The 39-game winning streak they are on began 20 years ago to the day with a victory in the bronze medal game there. The Canadians were playing in a quarter-final Olympic game for the first time ever; the only other Games they placed better in were in Los Angeles; they were fourth in the round-robin of those boycotted games. Canada, ranked 11th by FIBA, finishes with a 2-4 record here, with wins over Britain and Brazil and losses to United States (No. 1 in the world), Australia (No. 2 in the world), Russia (No. 3 in the world) and France (ranked ninth). Diana Taurasi had 15 points for the United States, Kim Smith and Chelsea Aubry had 10 points each for Canada.

Share the Puck reaches children across the city Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC community - Children from across the city were able to participate in hockey from July 30 to Aug. 2 at the Minto Skating Centre as part of an overall initiative to help make the expensive sport accessible. The Share the Puck Program, launched by Ollson Sports Group, is a program geared towards creating opportunities for youth aged seven to 12 who wouldn’t normally get to play hockey. The program reached out to a variety of agencies including the Ottawa Chinese Community Service Centre in Centretown, Huntclub Riverside Community Services Centre, Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization in Ottawa east as well as the Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre. “Hockey is our national sport, but it also happens to be the most expensive sport to get involved in,” said Stéphanie César-Young, a child and youth counselor with the Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre. “When we saw this was an opportunity, we thought it would be great for our families so we wanted to participate.” Bryan Hetherington of Ollson Sports Group said the week went well, and some children were able to par-

promote and recruit.” Hetherington and CésarYoung said they hope the program makes lasting impacts on the youth who participated

this year. “We want them to feel that they can participate in activities like other kids,” CésarYoung said. “We all know

sports and extra curricular activities help promote kids’ self esteem and positive choices.” There will be a Share the Puck Golf Tournament on

Suzy is a black and white spayed female Domestic Shorthair cat who is about six years old. She was transferred to the OHS from another shelter on March 27 and has been patiently waiting for a forever home for more than four months. Suzy loves to be with her human companions. She has a laid-back, social personality and gets along with people who want a low-key, relaxed cat to hang out with. Suzy is a solid girl who would rather not be picked up or sit on your lap. She prefers to sit beside you, like a best friend.

HOW MANY IS TOO MANY?

Roo is an unaltered male, agouti degu who is just over a year old. He was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on July 4, and is one of several degus currently available for adoption. Degus are highly social animals. They live in burrows, and in the wild they use teamwork to construct elaborate underground tunnel systems. As pets, they spend a lot of time playing, chewing, and foraging for food. Degus are good communicators: they make up to 15 unique sounds, depending on their early socialization. They will greet their owners when someone approaches their cage. Don’t feed your degu anything sugary – they are highly susceptible to diabetes as their bodies do not tolerate sugars. No fresh fruits for these pets, because they prefer grass and seeds. Roo would do best if you we able to adopt his brother along with him. A pair of degus will provide endless hours of entertainment for the whole family. For more information about these or other animals available for adoption, please call the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www.ottawahumane.ca.

like a park, using praise and treats to let the dogs experience good things in each other’s presence.

Just like people, pets need a proper introduction to feel comfortable. First impressions really do count when it comes to animals, and pets that have not met should not be introduced to one another in the same room until both have had a chance to warm up to the idea.

Let them investigate each other, but stay alert for signs of aggression. If you already have two or more dogs at home, it’s probably best to introduce them separately. Once all dogs have been introduced and seem to tolerate each other without signs of aggression or fear for an hour, take them home.

Keep the pets confined to separate areas, where they can smell each others’ presence but not see one another. Accustom the cats to each other’s scents by switching sleeping blankets, or rubbing the cats with the same towel. Once the new cat seems at home, switch the cats, confining the resident cats and allowing the new cat to explore the house. Return the cats to their original parts of the house, propping open the door just enough for the cats to see each other. Once the cats seem to tolerate each other, open the door. Mild protests (hissing, growling) from either cat are to be expected, but if behaviour starts to intensify (fighting), separate the cats and start over again. You may have to repeat this behaviour daily for a week or more. Use the same procedure to introduce a cat and dog, ensuring that the first meetings are closely supervised. With your dog on a leash, allow the cat to explore your home. Reward your dog’s positive behaviour with rewards and treats. Until you’re sure your cat is safe, keep the cat and dog separated when you aren’t at home. Introduce dogs to each other in neutral territory

Let the dogs drag their leashes in the house for the ﬁrst few days, so you can safely intervene in case they ﬁght. Extra supervision is required when you take two or more dogs out together, since two or more dogs are a pack and may bully other dogs at the park. The time required for pets to get along will vary, depending on the number and nature of your animals. The important thing is to take things slowly. If, however, the introductions result in aggressive behaviour, or aggressive behaviour doesn’t stop, consult your veterinarian or an animal behaviour specialist. Tips: Make sure all of your pets are neutered or spayed. Neutering or spaying greatly reduces territorial behaviour and many types of aggression. Take your new pet to the veterinarian for a thorough check-up to avoid exposing your current pets to disease. Make sure each pet has his own food and water dish. A separate litter box for each cat is also a

Ottawa West EMC - Thursday, August 9, 2012

good idea. If your multiple-pet household will include cats and dogs, make sure the cat’s food and litter box are inaccessible to the dog. Never leave a puppy alone with an adult dog until you are sure the puppy isn’t at risk of being injured (accidentally or intentionally) by the adult dog. Most dogs set limits with a growl or snarl, but some will respond with more aggressive behaviour. Be sure your older dog gets plenty of attention and some quiet time away from the puppy. A kitten may need to be kept separate from an energetic or young dog until she is fully grown.

Sharing the house with another animal allows pets to use their natural, instinctive behaviour, communicating in their own language. Multiple cats and/ or dogs can keep each other company while you’re out of the house, as well.

ticipate who have never even seen an ice rink before. César-Young said the children were excited when they found out about being able to play hockey, but their parents were especially moved by the initiative. “Most feedback is from parents being really, really grateful that there’s an opportunity like this for their kids to get involved,” she said, adding that many new Canadians want to give their children a chance to socialize with others ,but costs of playing hockey can be a major hurdle. “The kids are excited, but it’s not as deep as from the parents’ perspective.” Since it’s the ﬁrst year of the program running, Hetherington said there are still a few kinks to work out. “One thing we learned is transportation is a huge issue,” he said, adding he’d like to see the program run in different spots throughout the city so it’s easily accessible for participants. César-Young also said since the program ran in the middle of the summer, it would be great to get the word out when school is still in. “If we could promote it during the school year, families can know ahead of time,” she said. “In the summer people travel, or are busy doing other things, and it’s hard to

Ottawa set to get Summer ‘smarter’ this September Conservation Tips! Fall arrival planned for transit development experts from IBM

The hot hazy days of summer are here, and Hydro Ottawa is sharing tips to help you conserve electricity while keeping cool.

EMC news - A group of experts will be arriving in Ottawa on Sept. 11 to give the city advice on how to turn the new light-rail stations into hubs of development. It’s part of informationtechnology giant IBM’s Smarter Cities Challenge that was announced on March 15 and Ottawa is one of two Canadian cities that was selected. Details are set to be released later this month, but city spokesperson Jocelyne Turner confirmed a group of experts would be in Ottawa from Sept. 11 to Oct. 3 to advise on what the city must do to attract residential, office and retail development to the 13 transit stations planned between Tunney’s Pasture and Blair for the forthcoming LRT line.

Consider installing a ceiling fan, and set it to force air down in the summer.

IBM experts will be in the city this fall giving advice on light-rail stations It’s called transit-oriented development and it’s already the top priority for the city’s planning department over the next couple of years. In March, planning committee chairman Peter Hume said it is “critical” to create land-use and economic development plans that will turn the areas around those stations into high-density hubs. “If we don’t have development around those stations that is driving the ridership, (LRT) is not going to be successful,” Hume said. The experts sent by IBM will crunch numbers and engage stakeholders to see if the city is on the right track when it comes to creating market in-

terest in developing the transit hubs. The study could recommend whether public investment is required to meet the needs of the current – and future – population of the city. At the very least, new ideas are worth hearing about, Hume said when the project was announced and a fresh set of eyes will bring a new perspective to the process. Ottawa and Surrey, B.C., are the two Canadian cities among the 100 worldwide selected for the 2012 Smarter Cities Challenge. Since it began in 2011, cities such as St. Louis, Philadelphia, Helsinki and Sapporo, Japan have utilized similar expertise from IBM.

EMC news - The Kanata Kiwanis Club is already searching for next years star. Fresh from the red carpet concert at Scotiabank Place on June 30, the club is inviting would-be idols from the age of 13 to 21 sing their hearts out. The club is hosting this year’s second audition at the Merivale Mall on Aug. 11 and 23. Tryouts will last from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The Kanata club has been hosting the idol amateur musical talent show since 2005. Organizer Eldon Fox said it’s the only venue for young people to showcase their musical stylings.

“A lot of the singers are better than the traditional big-name headliners,” he said prior to the red carpet concert at Scotiabank Place. Nine finalists along with 2011 Idol winner Jordan McIntosh performed at Scotiabank Place in June after organizers worked feverishly to sell tickets and save the show. Now the work begins to select the 2012 idols. After the Aug. 11 auditions there will be a Kiwanis showcase at the Place d’Orléans Shopping Centre on Aug. 25. The showcase is not part of the auditioning process and is simply a chance for the contestants to perform in front of a live audience. The top 20 finalists will hit the stage at the Orleans shopping centre on Sept. 1 and the top 10 will be back on stage the next day. Finalists are selected by a panel of judges.

Canada’s top amateur pilot competition comes to Ottawa Eddie Rwema

eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news - While becoming a professional pilot might be an exciting career choice, taking home the title of Canada’s Top Amateur Pilot would be a dream come true for 29year-old Andrea Lane Marrocco. The skies around Rockcliffe will be full from Aug. 15 to 18 with some of Canada’s top amateur pilots competing to win the prestigious Webster trophy at the Rockcliffe Flying Club. Marroccco, from the Ottawa Flying Club, will be rep-

resenting Eastern Ontario. “It is a little intimidating, but I am excited about it,” said Marrocco. Now in its 80th year, the competition determines the best amateur pilot in Canada. Nine amateur pilots from across the country will be vying for the award through written exams, simulator proficiency and demanding flight tests to determine who takes the award. “I would like to do well. I will do the best I can so I can win. It is very exciting and a great opportunity,” said Marrocco, who has spent 16

months training at Algonquin College to become a commercial pilot. “Flying is something I have always liked and always wanted to do.” Marrocco, who also holds a computer science degree from Queen’s University, said she chose flying because there are great careers in the industry. “Flying is a lot of fun,” she said. “You get to see many places and meet many interesting people.” The competition is in memory of John Webster, who lost his life in an aircraft accident at St. Hubert, Que.,

while practicing to represent Canada in an aerobatic flying competition. In July, 1931, a month before his death, Webster had represented Canada in his Curtiss-Reid Rambler in the King’s Cup Air Race in Britain. His devastated father created the trophy to inspire future amateur pilots. Amateur pilots aspiring to a career in aviation can be proud to affirm that they have competed in one of Canada’s most prestigious aviation events. Marrocco has been spending most of her time training.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

Eddie Rwema

Andrea Lane Marrocco.

“I have been busy with a lot of flying and preparation on the ground that I have to go through,” she said. She is doing it while working on her instructor rating. She hopes to be a flight instructor when she is done with her training.

“I am here just about every day flying and trying to get that done as quickly as possible so I can start working,” Marrocco said. “I am probably going to instruct for a few years and then see where I go from there.” Other finalists for this year’s top amateur pilot competition include Andrew Michael Burns from British Columbia, Mathieu Jean William Caouette from Alberta, Shane Daniel Lanouette from Saskatchewan, Peter McKenzie Heron from Manitoba, Andrew Curtis Woods from Western Ontario, Damyan Atanasov Dochev from Central Ontario, Louis Rousseau from Quebec and Robert Joseph Forrest Nova Scotia.

Every mouthful of water we drank came from the Bonnechere and was boiled on the stove, but none of us had much of a taste for it.

As many of you may know, the always bustling Tim Hortons located at 372 Hunt Club Road, near the Lowe-Martin building, is owned by the husband-and-wife team of Bill Kitchen and Lesley Holmes.

Sadly, Bill passed away suddenly on July

30, 2012 at the age of 51, leaving behind his wife and best friend, Lesley Holmes. Bill was also the proud and loving father of Nicholas, Emilie, Mackenzie and Rylee. Bill was also known for his hockey career. He played as a defenceman with the Ottawa 67’s throughout three seasons in the late 1970s.

Bill then earned a minor

league contract with the Montreal Canadians, spent four seasons with the Nova Scotia Voyageurs, and finished his pro-hockey career with the Toronto Maple Leafs and their AHL affiliate, the St. Catherines Saints. Upon Bill’s retirement from pro-hockey, he returned to Ottawa to raise his children. In addition to owning a number of Tim Hortons franchises with his wife, Bill engaged in extensive work throughout our community, including as a minor hockey coach and playing for the Ottawa Senators alumni. I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to Bill and his family for all of the fantastic work they have done in our community. Bill and Lesley were always incredibly generous and happy to sponsor many River Ward community events. On behalf of River Ward, thank you Bill and Lesley and your wonderful family for the generous contributions you have made to our great city.

oday, every farmer dreads a long spell when no rain falls and he watches helplessly as his crops burn before his eyes. Often, if the drought happens in the late spring or early summer, the sprouts of new crops do not appear at all. But a long dry spell in the days when I was a young girl meant disaster and added backbreaking work. We had many such spells, but one I remember most. Summer had erupted beautifully. The crops showed signs of good growth and the hot days meant that our large garden should produce enough vegetables for daily eating, as well as a bountiful supply to can away for the winter. Our old iron pump, close to the back door, received its usual coat of bright green paint and coughed up its regular gush of crystal clear water for household uses as well as providing a constant supply of drinking water for the farm animals. Two long galvanized troughs sat in the yard close to the pump and twice a day we took turns pumping while a couple of us hauled milk-pails full of water so the troughs were always kept full for the animals. The pump sat on a rickety wooden platform over the well and I can recall how we often would lie on our bellies with our eyes pressed close to the cracks in the boards. Way down deep in the cavity we would see the well’s black pit, where we would drop in stones and marvel at the hollow sound as they plopped into the water below. That year, however, the hot sunny days with no rain continued on. It wasn’t long until the ground in our lane settled into wide cracks in the clay and the normally moist sand around our back door became dry and powdered. Gradually the crops stopped growing and our garden had to be watered daily by carrying pails of water up a steep grade at the back of the house. Soon we noticed that it took longer and longer to prime the pump. Often we would have to pump like fury before it would catch deep below and release the water. Then, just as if someone had turned off a tap, the pump had nothing more to give up. We were out of water. Still, we were better off than many farmers in the area. The Bonnechere River ran at the back of our property. It too was feeling the effects of the long dry spell, however, and the water had left its banks until just a three-metre span trickled down the centre. My father said we had no choice but to haul the water from the river. Daily, we hitched up the horses to the stone boat and with every available milk can balanced on the flat surface we made our way to the visibly-diminishing Bonnechere and filled the cans with water. Now, the troughs were only half full for the livestock and the reservoir on the Findlay Oval went for days without being filled. Our once-a-week baths

sky is covered in cloud!” Soon it was teeming down like sheets of steel and our mother in her nightdress ran outside with the granite dishpan to place it under the eave to catch the soft water as it ran off the roof. We five children followed her out. In those days we slept in our underwear and we ran over the soaking grass like people possessed. It was the most beautiful feeling, with our hair hanging down over our eyes in sopping disarray. There was no thunder or lightning, just the soft beating of the rain that had come to breathe new life into our part of the Ottawa Valley. In the kitchen, Mother was frying a pan of home-smoked bacon and I knew there would be eggs and homemade jam for our toast, a breakfast usually reserved for Sundays. It was a day for rejoicing. The ache in my stomach was gone and I knew that once again, all was right in my world.

Laroche community to put focus on development at September meeting Continued from page 1

“the majority of residents in Mechanicsville would be quite opposed” to someone in Hintonburg representing them.

Jeff Leiper, president of the Hintonburg Community Association, said that there’s nothing written down that says his community association cannot represent Mechanicsville - especially if Mechanicsville residents choose to allow it. “In Mechanicsville, residents don’t currently have an association who represents them on planning and zoning matters,” Leiper said. “They’re fully in power to ask another community association to speak for them.” Keith Brown, a lifetime res-

ident of Mechanicsville who’s also president of the Laroche Park Community Association in the neighbourhood, said there’s “no way” he would want another community to represent them on development matters. While he said the Laroche Park association has a focus on sports and recreation in the community, there would be an effort to focus on development issues when it holds their upcoming meeting in September. “We are in process of revi-

talizing the association,” said Brown. “We’ll be working closely with our councillor and the city provides training regarding planning processes.” He said the residents who originally approached Hintonburg were members of condo boards who don’t represent the entire Mechanicsville community. Despite this, both Brown and Andrecheck said they don’t feel there’s a divide amongst residents about joining forces with Hintonburg. “There will be individuals

who say I don’t agree with the group approach and that’s fine,” Andrecheck said, adding residents can still make personal comments to the city on developments when they’re proposed. Still, Hobbs said Mechanicsville is its own community that can represent itself when it comes to planning issues. “This is not (Hintonburg’s) neighbourhood,” Hobbs said. “I don’t see that Mechanicsville by and large has been looking for representation.” Leiper said the process of talks between Mechanicsville and Hintonburg has been fully transparent. A meeting was scheduled to take place Aug. 8 at the Laroche Field House to talk more about the initiative and the Hintonburg Community Association has sent letters to Mechanicsville residents to explain the idea, he said. Hintonburg will walk away if there is negative feedback from the Mechanicsville community, Leiper added. “Our sense from Mechanicsville is this is very welcome,” he said. “But if we hear a bunch of negative responses, it’ll change our minds. Mechanicsville residents are very much in the drivers’ seat on this. “This isn’t a done deal. If we feel a large chunk of Mechanicsville doesn’t want this, we’ll withdraw that offer and wish them well.”

Water fight could expand to East end next year Continued from page 1

Leiper was quick to correct himself, saying the Hintonburg team will fill up on sugar and carbohydrates to fuel up for the fight. He said Hintonburg has been forming some diabolical plans of attack. “Frankly, if they heard about them, Carlington wouldn’t show up,” Leiper said. On a more serious note, both community association presidents feel that the event will bring both communities closer together. They also said they wanted the opportunity for both neighbourhoods to get together for something fun. “It’s not a meeting, it’s not a zoning discussion, it’s about

having fun,” McJannett said. “And, you’re never too old to have a water fight - as evidenced by two grown...men who are standing here with water guns.” Leiper said the opportunity is also a great way to break the ice with a community that Hintonburg has wanted to strengthen relations with. While the two opposite teams are facing off this year, they might find themselves on the same team next year, as the Vanier Community Association has challenged both of them to another water fight. “We’ll find out next sum-

mer if we can teach them a lesson,” said Leiper. “Maybe we’ll do something on Parliament Hill and it will be east versus west. East is the least, and west is the best.” The two west communities will face off Aug. 18 from noon to 1 p.m. at Hampton Park. Residents from Carlington are asked to wear green, and Hintonburgers will be wearing blue. McJannett said Carlington residents who want to walk over together are invited to meet at Alexander Park at 960 Silver St. at 11:15 a.m.

Ahoy, Ottawa

Ottawa residents gathered to watch as the schooner Lois McClure ascended the Ottawa Locks. The replica of a 19th century commercial boat arrived in Ottawa on Aug. 1 as part of a four-month tour to celebrate 200 years of peace between Canada and the United States following the War of 1812. It took 90 minutes for a tugboat to pull the Lois McClure through the series of eight locks where the Rideau Canal meets the Ottawa River beside Parliament Hill.

Upside down cake is absolutely peachy

omfort food is food that makes you feel good. Very often, it’s something your mother made when you were young. It might be anything from creamed eggs on toast to chocolate pudding. For me, comfort food in August is peach upside down cake. My mother made it every year I can remember and, as soon as the fresh peaches are in season, I do the same. It’s as much of a tradition as turkey at Christmas. Although this cake has to be made from scratch, it’s very easy. Peeling and slicing the peaches probably takes longer than mixing the ingredients for the cake. The secret is making this at the right time of the day so that you can serve the cake for supper while it’s still warm. If you’ve never eaten homemade peach upside down cake, give yourself a treat and enjoy. Cake

• 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup 2 per cent milk with 1 tbsp. vinegar) • 1/2 cup margarine • 1 1/4 cups white sugar

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff • 1 egg • 1 tsp. vanilla • 2 cups flour • 1 tsp. baking soda • 1/2 tsp. salt Topping

• 1 cup brown sugar • 1/4 cup butter, softened at room temperature • 5-6 peaches, peeled and sliced If you’re using milk and vinegar rather than buttermilk, combine them and let sit while you prepare the other ingredients. Line the bottom of a 20centimetre square pan with aluminum foil. Sprinkle the brown sugar over this then dot evenly with butter. Arrange the peach slices in rows on top of this so that they completely cover the bottom of the pan.

In a mixing bowl, cream the margarine and white sugar. Stir in the egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients, alternating with the liquid. Spoon the batter over the peaches. Bake at 350 F (175 C) for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let sit for about five minutes. Place a large plate upside down over the cake pan. Holding both the plate and pan with potholders, turn upside down, then lift off the pan. Because the pan is lined with aluminum foil, it will lift off easily. Carefully peel the foil off the bottom of the cake. Serve warm with whipped cream. Serves six to eight.

WILLIAM PAUL RIKELY (BILL)

$1050

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of William Paul Rikely (Bill) on July 25, 2012 in his 88th year. Bill passed away at Ottawa’s Queensway Carleton Hospital following a brief illness. Bill was predeceased in 1984 by his beloved wife of 37 years, Pauline (Hare). He leaves behind his children Susan (Dan), Daniel (Geraldine) Kathryn (Brian) and Jennifer (Barry) and grandchildren Christopher Parsons (Jessamyn), Bronywn and Meredith Lazowski. In 1989 Bill was blessed to marry his loving wife, Janine (Rousseau), and to be embraced by her children and grandchildren: David (Julia and children Gabrielle and Chloe), Nicole (Jean Paul), Michael (Sheilah), Paul (Suzy and children Nicholas and Samuel) and Denise (David and children Lindsey and Logan). Bill had a distinguished career with the Canadian Military beginning as an RCAF pilot, then transferring to the navy where he rose to the rank of Commander. He was the proud Captain of the naval destroyer “Kootenay”. Following his 32 year military career, Bill joined the federal Aviation Safety Board. Since 1989, Bill enjoyed a rich and active retirement continuing to feed his lifelong passion for aviation and his love of the open seas. Bill will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by all those who love him dearly. A celebration of his life will be held on Monday, July 30th at 2:00 p.m. in the chapel at Pinecrest Cemetery. The service will be followed by a reception for family and friends. The family would like to thank the staff of the Queensway Carleton Hospital for their care and compassion during Bill’s ﬁnal weeks.

THE 24TH ANNUAL ODESSA ANTIQUE SHOW AUGUST 11TH & 12TH, 2012 EASTERN ONTARIOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S LARGEST OUTDOOR ANTIQUE SHOW The Odessa Antique Show and Sale, the LARGEST outdoor antique show in eastern Ontario, will be held this year on August 11 and 12, 2012. At this popular annual event, dealers from Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes display a wide variety of antique and collectible treasures.

The dealers arrive and begin unpacking their wares on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. Keen visitors can pay the $20 early-bird admission, which includes re-entry on Sunday; checking in early allows you to peruse the stalls, examine the items up close and be the first to buy. Admission on Sunday from 8 a.m. onwards costs $8. An abundance of delectable homemade food, the Odessa Antique Show is an excellent deal and a great event for a summer afternoon, not only for antique lovers but for anyone interested in eye-catching memorabilia. No reproductions are allowed. This is an antique & collectibles show. Exhibitors More than 100 vendors from across Ontario, Quebec, and even Atlantic Canada, are expected at the event, which organizers describe as the largest antique show in Eastern Ontario. The event has survived for nearly a quarter of a century because it caters to both kinds of antique collectors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have a certain type of collector that is interested in purchasing items to decorate their house; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not so interested in the investment value,â&#x20AC;? Dobson said , said Bill Dobson, who was the owner of the show until he handed it over to Karen Leacock-Brown in 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other area is people who want to purchase things as a fairly good investment for value in the future. CL407511 www.odessaantiqueshow.ca â&#x20AC;&#x153;The interesting thing about the Odessa show is itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so large and so diverse it satisfies all types of collectors.â&#x20AC;?

Metroland Media decided to check out just how bicycle-friendly Ottawa really is, sending a group of reporters out to test four mostly offroad cycling routes from different parts of the municipality to Ottawa City Hall. The four routes start from Orléans, Nepean, Barrhaven and Kanata. All four reporters were

novice cyclists and plotted as direct a route as possible but that avoided busy streets and traffic as much as possible, making generous use of the National Capital Commission’s and the city’s off-road multi-use pathways. Starting this week, Cycling the Capital, a two-part series, will explore a variety of issues dealing with the topic of cycling to work, includ-

ing the push to create cycling links throughout the city and prioritize the use of bikes as a mode of transportation, and a look at the impact of road construction on cyclists. Our series will also explore the importance of education – of both cyclists and motorists – and ways the city can make cycling a more comfortable option. We’ll meet with groups

who are opposed to the city’s push to create more segregated bike lanes such as the 1.3-kilometre stretch recently introduced on Laurier Avenue. We will also look at ways to encourage children to commute to school. All Cycling the Capital stories and photographs will be posted on yourottawaregion.com.

Detours cater to motorists: cyclists

Re-cycling the commute

Reporter makes the trek from Centrepointe to city hall on pathways

Brier Dodge and Laura Mueller Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The National Capital Commission says there are more than 300 kilometres of bike paths in the region. If you add in the city’s pathways and narrow it down to only Ottawa (not the surrounding area), there are 270 kilometres of dedicated pathways in Ottawa alone, according to Citizens for Safe Cycling. The problem is that I’m just not sure where they are – or where they lead. It’s not that there aren’t a bunch of resources and maps available to show me where to go – the city and NCC both have maps and Google Maps is a great online resource for pathways. It’s just that I can’t tell where I’m going once I’m actually riding along the paths. I was assigned to head to city hall from Nepean by bicycles, and I was completely shocked to discover it could be done almost entirely on about 16 kilometres of pathways from Centrepointe through the Central Experimental Farm and up the Rideau Canal. On the NCC’s map, the route seems easy enough. The eight-kilometre Experimental Farm pathway is a big blue line cutting through Nepean before heading to Dow’s Lake and the canal pathways. Perfect. Zooming in on Google Maps reveals another layer of complication. There appear to be forks in the path at every turn, some with dead ends and some leading off to secondary paths or neighbourhood streets. I begin to get a bit nervous. I’m relatively familiar with Nepean, but not THAT familiar. What if I head the wrong way and end up in completely the wrong location?

I decide to write out some directions. When I do this for a drive, it’s simple. For example: “Turn right on Friel, continue five blocks and turn right on Laurier.” My pathway directions were a bit more complicated: “Veer left after the skate park(?) … continue north on the east side of Woodroffe and cross over to the opposite corner at Baseline (I think) … Cross Maitland and go through what might be a forest?” It only become more confusing from there. I was excited to set off on my ride with weather that was blissfully cooler than the heat wave that preceded it. It felt like I was just hitting my stride when I hit the confusion of the Woodroffe crossing. I couldn’t see where the path continued on the opposite corner, so I kept going straight and followed another cyclist on the path along the Transitway. I got further off track where the path forked. Of course, my haphazard directions didn’t prepare me for this because I was already detouring the wrong way. See PATHS, page 32

Reporter Laura Mueller, above, took to the streets and pathways of west Ottawa to find a safe and enjoyable route for bike commuting from Centrepointe to city hall. Below: A confusing end to the Prince of Wales bike lanes at the former Arboretum traffic circle has been replaced by a bike-friendlier path – or, cyclists can take the lane.

EMC news - Ottawa cyclists are calling for the city to follow its guidelines for providing detours when roads are under construction. In 2009, the municipality created a set of rules for providing construction detours for cyclists. The city is responsible for providing detours and advance notice of road closures resulting from contracted work or special events. In the construction zone, the contractor doing the work is responsible for cyclists’ safety. “The city offers detours for cyclists, for pedestrians and for motorists,” said city spokesperson Jocelyne Turner. “It works just like any other detours.” But the detours are often long and cater to motor vehicles, said cyclist Alex deVries, who has been commuting by bike for eight years. “The City of Ottawa actually has guidelines, but it’s very hidden, and appears to be hidden from the project managers of different sites,” deVries said. The National Capital Commission, on the other hand, doesn’t have any guidelines. For the NCC’s parkways and multi-use pathways, construction signs and detours are addressed on a case-by-case basis with a common-sense approach, said NCC spokesperson Jasmine Leduc. But there may be hope for improvements, as the city and the NCC are working on creating common guidelines to show cyclists where to go during road construction. The city provided its own guidelines for consideration, and the NCC has involved Gatineau in talks about a common approach, Leduc said. See CITY, page 32

sharing the road with cyclists. His current commute takes him through the west end from the NCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Experimental Farm path to the Transitway NCC path crossing Woodroffe Avenue. DeVries said he has had excellent experiences with construction staff who have gone out of their way to make sure cyclists have a safe path to cross. He said contractors shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be lobbied to put up signs for cyclists, which is fairly inexpensive, but it should become standard practice. If it becomes the norm, cyclists and drivers alike will become more comfortable with how to deal with one another while travelling through construction sites, deVries said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Road closures, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just normal, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always have that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The City of Ottawa should just follow their own guidelines.

But construction isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always a bad thing for cyclists. Many look forward to it as well, since roadwork will often result in a smoother road surface thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to ride on. Lindenlea cyclist Rob Schmidt said cyclists are often

in the best position to report when minor road maintenance is needed. Cyclists should take on the responsibility of reporting potholes and faded bike lanes to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 311 call service centre, he said, as the conditions of the roads affect cyclists safety and ease of travel more so than motorists.

No wayfinding signs presented themselves until I emerged from the path at Iris Avenue, where there was thankfully a map. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go too far out of my way, but I was cautious the whole time, riding slowly and searching for anything that could give me a hint about which path to choose. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great that the paths have lots of links to neighbourhood streets or branches to give you access to different directions, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit demoralizing to feel so lost and powerless to find the direction you want to go. Short of adding â&#x20AC;&#x153;streetâ&#x20AC;? signs or assigning names to paths like we do for streets, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to overcome that. There are a few maps or small directional signs scattered through the pathways that I took, but there could certainly be more. If a bicycle is to be treated as a vehicle akin to a car, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s give our bike â&#x20AC;&#x153;roadwaysâ&#x20AC;? some of the same perks we do for roads built with cars in mind.

The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidelines include maintaining smooth surfaces, providing a 1.2- to two-metre wide bike lane, and signage indicating cars may not pass cyclists in areas where a safe cycling lane or sidewalk alternative cannot be provided. The six-page document has guidelines for pathways and obstacles that may be in cyclistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; way, and a variety of suggested signs. When construction limits traffic to one lane, deVries said the ideal situation includes signs telling motorists not to pass cyclists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When that sign is not there, drivers just assume that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business as usual,â&#x20AC;? he said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When cyclists take the lane, there are some really angry drivers.â&#x20AC;? Cyclists are partly to blame, too, says John Francis, a cyclist whose commute takes him along Prince of Wales Drive. When that road was under construction north of Fisher Road, cyclists and motorists ignored the signs instructing cyclists to take the lane, he said. When Carling Avenue was under construction, cycling was particularly bad for deVries. The road was too narrow for cars to pass him, he said, but without signs, both drivers and construction workers would become agitated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is backed up behind me, and construction workers are yelling at me, and a guy leans on the horn and says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to run me over,â&#x20AC;? he recalls. Angry drivers are the exception rather than the norm in Ottawa, he said, with over 99 per cent of drivers respectfully

Trillium Foundation gives local scout troops a helping hand

Ride the Rideau, Eastern Ontario’s most successful cancer fundraiser It might sound a bit unusual, but avid cyclist Elaine Robertson takes pleasure in finishing last. Three years ago, Robertson volunteered with the inaugural Ride the Rideau, a 100 km cycling fundraiser held in support of cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital. Ride the Rideau has since grown to become Eastern Ontario’s most successful single-day cancer fundraiser, raising $2.7 million in just two years. Last year’s event drew more than 715 riders, and this year’s event is expected to top that. “It’s a great cause,” said Robertson, a Nepean-area resident who is also a member of the Kanata-Nepean Bicycle Club. “The Ottawa Hospital is a cause close to home and the money stays here, so it’s a great, efficient fundraiser. And so many people benefit from it.” Robertson found her calling on that first Ride Day in 2010. “I enjoyed being in the back, riding with people who needed it the most,” she said. “A lot of them have bikes that aren’t so great. In the first year, one poor guy was having a really hard time, and his bike didn’t fit him very well. But he had a great attitude. And last year, the last finisher had one disaster after another. Her tires blew, but she wanted to finish, and she did. “People who can pull off a 100 km ride in two hours are more like racers,” she added. “It’s the people who haven’t gone that distance before that need us.”

Robertson also found that she got to know some of the riders. “Because it’s for cancer research, the ride is very emotional for some people,” she said. “It’s heartwrenching to hear what some people have gone through. Sometimes, people just need someone to listen.” Robertson enjoyed her Ride the Rideau volunteer experience so much that she will be returning as a Ride Guide for the third year. She takes pride in being at the back of the pack, because that is where she makes the biggest difference. “These riders are supporting cancer research, so they deserve our support,” she said. On September 8, join Elaine Robertson as a Ride the Rideau volunteer. Visit www. ridetherideau.ca for more information.

EMC news - The Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) gave two local scout troops a boost in the form of grants to purchase new equipment. The grants included $14,000 for the 14th Gloucester Sea Scouts for the purchase of canoes and a transport trailer and $6,400 to the Ottawa Medical Venturer Group to purchase new medical equipment and a storage trailer. They were announced at the Scouts Canada building on Baseline Road on July 31. Bob Chiarelli, the MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean, said the city’s best resource is the people in it, and investment in the Scouts is an investment in future leaders. “These Ontario Trillium Foundation grants to support Scouts Canada are far more than just dollar amounts,” he said, adding the Medical Venturer troop were on hand during the Canada Day festivities downtown in case anyone needed first aid. Sherry Franklin, a volunteer with OTF who considers grant proposals, said the organizations gives out $120 million in grants each year to projects that make communities a better place to live.

Colin MacPherson, a member of the 14th Gloucester Sea Scouts Troop, along with his fellow members, takes a canoe back inside the Scouts Canada building on Baseline Road after the Ontario Trillium Foundation announced two grants for local troops on July 31. of 1,500 grants annually in the areas of human and social services, arts and culture, environment, and sports and recreation. Colin MacPherson, a 14year-old who has been a Scout for eight years, said he has made a lot of friends within the organization and enjoys being outside. “We basically do the same programming as the other Scout troops,” he said of the Gloucester Sea Scouts. “But we incorporate motorboats and sailing. We try and get out on the water once or twice a week. It’s great.” Since its inception in the

spring of 2002, the Medical Venturer program has focused on youth who are interested in exploring the career opportunities in paramedicine. The program is built upon traditional Scouts Canada program elements and practical skills used by emergency medical services. There is a partnership between the Ottawa troop and Ottawa paramedics. “The positive impacts of the first-aid training and outdoor skills obtained will provide significant, long-term benefits for the participating youth, Scouts Canada and the Ottawa region as a whole,” Chiarelli said.

When Leiper presented the challenge, Carlington Community Association president Josh McJannett said he couldn’t turn it down. “I couldn’t say no,” he said. “I thought, maybe Hintonburg has lost their edge a little bit and traded it in for ironic T-shirts and hipster beards.” Within half an hour, the duo had agreed on a proper turf and time. As McJannett jokes that he gets pumped in preparation to the Rocky theme every morning, Leiper voices some concern that Hintonburg might not win. “We’ve been thinking about it . . . that’s about it,” he said.

who can speak to the developments. “I think it’s a wait-and-see attitude,” said Andrecheck, adding it might be worthwhile for the two communities to join together since they experience similar development issues. “It might be worthwhile in the end to work as one community association.” However, Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs said a resident of Hintonburg cannot represent somebody from Mechanicsville when making comments about a development being built in Mechanicsville. “We always welcome any community association or any member of the public to make comments,” she said.
