EMC news - City council approved new rules for what low-rise infill homes can look like in Ottawa’s urban neighbourhoods on May 9, but not before approving a dozen pages of changes. The amendments, all proposed by planning committee chairman and Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume, are simply “minor tweaks” to wording, he said, and don’t change the intent of the guidelines, which have had significant input from both developers and community members over the course of more than a year. “There is no retreat from the policy positions advanced,” Hume said. “The intent of what we are trying to achieve was clear to us, but it wasn’t enough clear to others. The wording is designed to provide greater clarity.” The changes were in response to delegates – mainly representatives of the development industry – who spoke to planning committee on April 10. The committee agreed to alter the wording of the guidelines to make them clearer. “A lot of this is wordsmithing based on what other people have told us,” said Richard Kilstrom, the city’s manager of policy development and urban design. “Most of these things aren’t major.” See CONCERNS, page 9

No stopping Pius X author after first novel Kristy Strauss

EMC community - Marina Etmanskie remembers well how her daughter Trina handled books and reading when she was as young as two. “You couldn’t just do one bedtime story, you had to do more. One was never enough,” Marina said. “She always wanted to touch the books and was always respectful of books.” Trina, now a Grade 10 student at St. Pius X High School, has taken her passion for reading and writing and has done

what most adult writers spend years trying to do – she has published her first book, The Maid Games: Betrayed. “There’s action, there’s romance, friendship, family affairs, and it’s kind of a mystery,” said Trina. Set in England, where twin sisters Bailey and Alice are sent to boarding school, the novel is about how the sisters learn to be the Queen’s maids, all while working as spies for the secret service, risking their lives to find information. Trina wrote the book as part of the National Novel Writing

Month contest, where contestants had 30 days to write an original novel. She won the competition and had the option to publish her 50,000 word book. When Trina first entered the contest, she and her mom didn’t think much of it. “I told my mom I’m doing this little contest,” said Trina. Her mom told her to just have fun. Trina said while she likes structure when writing, she often gets writer’s block, but will write for long stretches when inspired. One weekend alone

she wrote 10,000 words. “I get such writers block and there’s nothing I can do,” Trina said. “And then there are spans where I can write and write and write. I try and keep it up and I don’t practice it I guess. I do it when I feel it’s natural, or get a push of inspiration.” When Trina discovered she’d won the contest, Marina said she was in shock. “I’ve been speechless since. How can I tell you how I feel as a mother?” she said. “The accomplishment is amazing.” See BOOK, page 14

New ‘sharrows’ coming to street near you Laura Mueller

EMC news - As part of a new cycling safety push, the city will be painting new “sharrow” lanes this summer. The arrow and bicycle pavement markings show cyclists and drivers how much space to leave and alert them when cyclists must take the lane. They are used on streets, such as Lyon Street, that aren’t quite wide enough for a dedicated cycling lane. And now, the city will be adding six new sections of sharrow lanes to the eight that

pen until 2013 or ‘14, Turner said. Along with the new sharrows, the city launched an advertising campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of “dooring.” The city is urging drivers to look behind them before opening their doors and cyclists are reminded to stay one metre away from parked cars. Ottawa resident Danielle Nacu, 33, lost her life on Oct. 11, 2011 when a driver parked on Queen Street opened the car door and knocked Nacu into the path of an oncoming vehicle.

on the list for 2013: Cobourg Street from Wilbrod Street to Rideau Street and along parts of Rideau between Nicolas Street and the Rideau River. Other sharrows are possible, including O’Connor Street, but those are still under discussion and no confirmed plan has been made, said city spokesperson Jocelyne Turner. O’Connor is being looked at for cycling facilities as part of the Transportation Demand Management strategy for the Lansdowne Park revitalization, so any cycling plans for that street likely wouldn’t hap-

already exist. New sharrows planned for 2012 include: • Somerset Street West between Wellington Street West and Booth Street • Wellington Street West from Island Park Drive to Somerset • Byron Avenue from Island Park to Holland Avenue • Tyndall Street from Holland to Parkdale Avenue • Parkdale from Tyndall to Gladstone Avenue • Gladstone Avenue from Parkdale eastwards A couple more are already

EMC news - Council’s approval of preliminary Lansdowne Park reconstruction work on May 8 marked the first time the city councillor for Capital Ward, where the park is located, didn’t cast a dissenting vote. That doesn’t mean David Chernushenko is suddenly onside with the project, it’s just that he has no opportunity left to withhold his support for the plans, since council has already given the go-ahead. Chernushenko still questions the need to move the Horticulture Building, but since council already voted to approve that move and remove the building’ heritage designation to do so, there is no point in objecting on a vote now, he said. “This isn’t about ‘Should we move it,’” he said. “It’s about ‘Should we move it now,’ and make cleaning up the soil a more efficient and thorough job and allow the restoration of the building to go ahead.” If the city doesn’t get started on that work, it runs the risk of not improving the Horticulture Building at all if the project falls through. “We’ll have … (it) spruced up and ready for use, albeit against good heritage principals of not moving it, but I couldn’t get that part,” Chernushenko said. “At least I got

the other (part). After decades of not doing anything to keep it up, that’s the unfortunate trade off.” Moving ahead with some pre-construction work required city council to approve advancing $12.6 million from the total $14 million from the Lansdowne project’s budget. Since councillors unanimously approved that plan on May 8, some work can now move forward, including the demolition of the Coliseum Building, relocation of utilities and other work related to moving the Horticulture Building. Approving preliminary construction work doesn’t mean the Lansdowne Partnership Plan with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group has been finalized, however. The pact with the group of Ottawa business leaders working with the city to redevelop the park still needs the final approval of council. The city’s finance and economic development committee and city council will receive the final legal agreements with a report in the next few months. On April 30, three Ontario Superior Court judges agreed that the city’s partnership with the OSEG doesn’t constitute an illegal subsidy for a private business, rejecting the Friends of Lansdowne’s legal appeal of the project. The Friends could still ask the Supreme Court of Canada to consider another appeal.

Three major Ottawa On The Move projects delayed Construction to start in 2013 to prevent construction season traffic havoc Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A push to reconstruct hundreds of pieces of Ottawa’s roads, water pipes, bridges and more may have been too ambitious. Three major road reconstruction projects announced as part of the $340 million Ottawa on the Move initiative in

the city’s 2012 budget won’t start until 2013. Those projects include Main Street and in McIlraith Bridge in Old Ottawa East, Bronson Avenue from Carling Avenue to the Rideau Canal and Carling from the O-Train to Bronson. The projects were delayed because having too many ma-

jor roads under construction at once could compromise the road network, clogging Ottawa’s streets and creating traffic havoc. In particular, reconstructing Main Street would seriously limit access across the Rideau River, so that road must stay open to allow for detours until next year, said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. The delay isn’t necessarily a bad thing, he said. “As long as we get the consultation and design work started soon, it gives more

time to get it right and it means we won’t have practically landlocked areas of town where mega projects are going on,” Chernushenko said. “There are just so many projects going on that it didn’t make sense for a variety of reasons.” On Main Street, the delay will also give more time for design to ensure the issue of road vibration is addressed through the reconstruction, Chernushenko said. “People are talking about almost jumping in their seats,”

in their homes due to traffic, and that’s an issue that can be fixed as part of the rebuild, Chernushenko said. In all, Ottawa on the Move and infrastructure projects – from rebuilding roads to fixing culverts – will account for $600 million in spending this summer, according to city spokesperson Jocelyne Turner. The delays will also help ensure staffing levels are up to par, Turner said. The city’s 61 infrastructure project managers will handle 340 projects around the city this summer,

and trying to include the major road projects on Main, Carling and Bronson would be a stretch for staff. Ottawa on the Move is intended to catch up on infrastructure work and particularly improve the transportation network in advance of construction for the city’s light-rail system beginning in 2013. The projects are also intended to spruce up the city’s transportation network in advance of the city’s “sesquicentennial,” or 150th birthday, in 2017.

meeting, Levy indicated that Ottawa Public Health will be monitoring the health impacts of the impending cuts to the federal public service, which are expected to take a toll on the local workforce. Levy said the city’s health unit will be tracking the mental health impacts of job cuts to the federal bureaucracy, the Capital region’s largest employer by far. Public health will also look at food bank use and unemployment levels. “We will be following the impact with great interest,” Levy told the board of health. Levy said the city will be paying particular attention to any cuts at Health Canada and federal functions associated with public health. The Conservative government announced in its March budget that it would cut 19,200 public service jobs across the country over three years to save $5.2 billion a year.

The festival will take place from Aug. 3 to 8 along the canal, which is owned by the National Capital Commission and therefore exempt from the city’s new, stricter smoking rules. But the festival has indicated it will not permit smoking this year, despite being free from the city’s band, said Ottawa’s medical officer of health, Dr. Isra Levy during a health board meeting on May 7. This year marks the 180th birthday of the Rideau Canal, and the fifth anniversary since it was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Also during the May 7

Tea@12 sheds light on women’s mental health Kristy Strauss

kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC community - Jessica Holmes had around 400 women laughing over her impression of Celine Dion at the Hampton Inn Conference Centre on May 8, but the comedian and Ottawa native said laughter was a way to cope with her mental illness. “I’ve had my own challenges with mental illness,” Holmes told the crowd. “I suffered from post partum depression and it means so much to be here today. I was so blessed to have the resources to get over the shame and guilt and hiding and faking.” The tea lunch, called Tea@12, brought together women from across the city to hear stories about other women’s personal struggles with mental health. The event was organized by Women for Mental Health, a philanthropic program at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre that aims to help transform patient care and research. In its first year, the program has raised more than $1 million as part of the Royal’s $25 million Campaign for Mental Health. The event included the sto-

emotion that I felt when I was struggling.” Shannon said her mental health issues affected everyday things like going to work, paying bills, and seeing friends and family. “It created a lot of stress and sadness and confusion for my family,” she said. “But from day one, I had both parents, my brother and sister and they’ve all been incredibly supportive and taken a true keen heartfelt interest in mental health.” Her brother was at the airport waiting for a flight back to New Brunswick after she received the award at the Royal and opened up to somebody

that he had been in Ottawa to see his sister receive the Inspiration Award. The woman had replied her own daughter had struggled with post partum depression and it was the first time she was talking about it. “My hopes are the women in this room develop that same passion through hearing other people’s experiences,” Shannon said. JD Lees and his mother, Lee Ann, also spoke about dealing with the loss of their sister and daughter, Aly. JD said his sister suffered from bipolar disorder and took her own life.

Only 16 months apart in age, he spoke of losing not only his sister, but his best friend. “The night before she took her own life, she called me and was so excited the Sens won that night,” he said. “The next day I tried calling, but she didn’t answer. On Monday, my manager told me the police were waiting for me in the lobby and I was told the terrible news. I’ll never forget the long, lonely ride back in the cruiser to my parent’s house. It was surreal.” JD said he hoped in the future, mental illness will be treated like any other illness and there will be a time “where

no brothers will lose their sisters to suicide, no mothers will lose their daughters to suicide.” Nancy O’Dea, chairwoman of Women for Mental Health, said women are twice as likely to suffer from a mental illness. “The Royal’s goals are simple and clear: to get more people suffering into remission faster and transform the way we treat major depression,” O’Dea said, “Our time has arrived. We can take mental health out of the shadows and remove the stigma and shame. As women, we have the power and drive to do this.”

Carlington reflects, elects new president Following year of ‘tremendous community engagement,’ Josh McJannett elected to head association Kristy Strauss

kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC community - Infill development, construction updates and a new community association president were among the topics discussed at the Carlington Community Association annual general meeting on May 8. “It has been a very interesting and progressive year for the association,” said Robert Crout, who served as the community association’s president

for the past year. “It was a year filled with milestones and great successes.” The meeting took place at the Alexander Community Centre at 960 Silver St., with River Coun. Maria McRae there to provide an update from city hall and offer a year in review from her perspective. “I agree that the last year has been a good one, with tremendous community engagement,” McRae said, adding the community association should be

applauded for its hard work. Over the course of last year, McRae said the Caldwell community received a new play structure and there was a meeting to deal with safety in Caldwell and Central Park. “People were talking about closing the pathway (at Caldwell) and I’d never agree to that,” she said. “We need to keep our communities connected. The ‘us versus them’ mentality doesn’t work.” McRae also updated the

community on the Carling Avenue rehabilitation and said it should be wrapping up soon. She also presented certificates of thanks to the association. “Your dedication to the community is greatly appreciated.” The community also elected its new association president, Josh McJannett, who set out some goals for the future of Carlington. “By the time I’m standing here next year, I hope to tell you that we’ve grown our membership,” he said. “Membership is the life blood of our association and swelling our membership up would be fantastic.”

McJannett also said he’d like to grow the community’s financial capacity and pick up where the previous executive left off. “With events, signs and Twitter, people can feel like they’re in a community where stuff happens,” he said. Finally, McJannett said he wants to harness the enthusiasm community members have for their neighbourhood and work together as a team. “None of this amounts to anything if I try and do it alone,” he said. “We’ve got a great executive and a greatgroup who have stayed involved. I’m looking forward to another great year.”

Robotic-assisted surgery unveiled EMC news – Thanks to generous donations, the Ottawa Hospital is now able to perform prostate surgery using the very latest in surgical technology. Robotic assisted surgery is now a reality at The Ottawa Hospital – one of only a dozen hospitals in Canada to offer this groundbreaking technology. The technology provides an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, which uses small incisions but is typically lim-

ited to very simple procedures. The da Vinci surgical system is essentially a robotic hand that is manipulated by the surgeon to access hard-to-reach areas of the body with smaller incisions and great precision. It is currently being used to treat prostate cancer patients. Surgical oncologist, Dr. Rodney Breau demonstrated the da Vinci System on May 11 at the official unveiling. “This is the future,” Breau said in a statement. “We are using technology – in this case a high-tech surgical assistant – to reduce complications, minimize pain and facilitate faster

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale

Ottawa & Area - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away

We are revolutionizing the treatment of many cancer patients.” Last year, businessman and prostate cancer survivor Stephen Greenberg launched a campaign to raise $5 million to help the Ottawa Hospital buy its first surgical robot that would allow doctors to perform intricate operations. The Stephen and Jocelyne Greenberg Foundation donated $1 million, while another $3 million came from The Ottawa Hospital Foundation through individual donors and another $1 million from the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

Infrastructure renewal program needs to ease up

racks are starting to show in the city’s ambitious Ottawa on the Move infrastructure investment plan. Three major road reconstruction projects announced in the City of Ottawa’s 2012 budget, will be pushed back a year, with work starting in 2013. The delay is needed to prevent a log-jam of construction that would clog the streets and potentially create traffic havoc. One of the projects, the

reconstruction of Main Street, would seriously limit access across the Rideau River – so the road must stay open to allow for detours until 2013. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko says it’s important to slow down and plan properly to give the city time “to get it right.” We couldn’t agree more. In 2012, the City of Ottawa introduced a $340-million Ottawa on the Move program, an ambitious plan to reconstruct hundreds of pieces of

Ottawa’s roads, water pipes, bridges and other infrastructure projects over the course of two years. This summer, the municipality’s 61 infrastructure project managers will handle 340 projects around the city – a heavy workload. The reason for the push makes sense. Ottawa on the Move was created to catch up on the city’s infrastructure work and prepare the municipality for its sesquicentennial anniversary or 150th birthday

in 2017. The city will take advantage of historic lows in interest rates to borrow $125 million to help debt finance these projects. Makes sense. There’s no question about the need for investing in the city’s crumbling infrastructure – Ottawa’s public infrastructure assets are valued at $14 billion and those assets depreciate at a rate of more than $200 million per year. On average, Ottawa spends about 35 per cent of

what it should be spending on infrastructure renewal. The city should be investing $110 million every year on roads renewal alone. Instead, Ottawa spent $42.7 million last year. But that dropped to $23.9 million this year and $27.2 million in 2013. But 2014, it will soar back up to $56.7 million. The problem with the city’s Ottawa on the Move infrastructure push is two-fold: planning and timing. Trying to accomplish too

much too quickly with just 61 planning project managers leaves the municipality open to making planning errors. The delays of the three road projects are examples of some of the problems these overworked planning managers are facing. The city needs to slow down and get it right the first time. It will have a chance to do that when it begins work on the new Infrastructure Master Plan this year, which will be aligned (possibly for the first time) with reviews of several other major city plans for land and transportation. Let’s plan ahead and get it right instead of playing catch up.

COLUMN

The cruel facts of urban living CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

his seems to happen all the time these days. You drive to a doctor’s office or a dentist’s office or a lawyer’s office. The office is in a big glass building away from downtown with all sorts of room around it. Or it’s in a strip mall. Either way there’s lots of room around it for parking, which is the good thing about not being downtown. That’s what you say to yourself as you notice the welcome sign “Visitor Parking” and ease the car into a spot. Only then do you spot the machine over at the side and realize that you are going to have to pay to park, pay here, in this spacious and uncongested area. Why do they make you do that? Because they can. Because that little patch of asphalt you’re on can earn thousands of dollars. You’re stuck. You have to see the doctor or the dentist or the lawyer and the parking gods know that. It serves no social purpose to make you pay for parking. It is cruel, unfair and it is a fact of life in the city in the new millennium. The sad thing about it is you feel a bit guilty even complaining. Making parking scarce and expensive has long been a strategy aimed at getting you out of your car and onto the bus, thus reducing traffic congestion and air pollution. Therefore when you complain you are revealing yourself as one of those thoughtless individuals who will ruin the planet just so they can listen to the car radio for a few minutes. But … but … you say. These offices aren’t downtown where the traffic congestion is; they’re in the burbs where there’s no congestion and in fact nothing, nothing but places to park.

Plus, the bus only really works when you’re going downtown, or going somewhere from downtown. Your words are going to fall on deaf ears, you know that. You could launch a protest, but it would only be seen as another attempt by rich car-owning suburbanites to make life easier for themselves, at the expense of the planet. So life is unfair, except for the parking gods and their little friends. The scary thing is that it could get a lot less fair, when the remaining places where we’re used to free parking start charging. That would mean the big suburban shopping centres, the big suburban movie complexes, the restaurants and supermarkets away from the downtown core. If the parking machines began appearing at St. Laurent and Kanata Centrum and McDonald’s and Loblaws, you’d be madder than hell, right? And where would that get you? In a perfect world it would get you onto the bus, but this is not a perfect world and nobody seems much interested in making it one. Bus service is contracting just at the time it needs to expand, particularly on a local basis. In another version of a perfect world, we would shun the paid parking lot and walk to our neighbourhood stores. But few of us are close to neighbourhood stores any more, when they even exist. Maybe, in the long run, the inconveniencing of car owners will lead to pressure on city planners to create living spaces that are livable, where you don’t have to get into a car every time you want some little thing and where people can’t soak you for parking every time you turn around. Maybe, this will happen in the long run and the Barrhavens of the future will look more like The Glebe and Westboro. There will be less traffic and we will all be in better shape for having places to walk to. Instead of total subjugation by the automobile we get liberation from it. That would be the vision, and let’s hope the vision sustains you as you grit your teeth and pay the machine.

Not your mother’s feminism

rench feminist Elisabeth Badinter has made more than a few enemies with the release of her latest book, The Conflict: How modern motherhood undermines the status of women. The title, alone, was enough to light up mommy blogs across the developed world. In the post-release whirlwind of media interviews, Badinter characterizes modern motherhood as a form of bondage. She labels breastfeeding an animal activity and calls cloth diapers disgusting. Not surprisingly, it put most women off reading her book at all. Beyond the hyperbole and abrasive language, however, Badinter offers some valid insight into the demise of feminism as we know it. She begins with an historical account of women in the post-war world, when a surge of industrialism, scientific discovery and independent thinking offered women the opportunity to take control of their reproductive destinies for the first time. Birth control allowed many women to opt out of motherhood – once our biological fate – altogether. Bottle feeding meant even mothers could hand their children over to a surrogate while they escaped the private – and often unfulfilling – domain of the home, and went forth instead to fight for equality in the public realm. And yet, since that time – and before the work of feminism had been completed, Badinter argues – a

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse counter-movement emerged: naturalism. A return to naturalism turned industrialism, consumerism, and science – all once-perceived advantages of modern life – into enemies. This counter-movement, along with economic and political circumstances, encouraged women back into the home, back to child-rearing. But more than that, the argument that “everything natural is better” triggered a resurgence in mother-infant bonding, breastfeeding and cloth diapering, all things that tie the mother to a child for more than just the nine months of incubation. And all things, Badinter argues, that have served to create a new and flawed definition of the ultimate woman: that of the good mother. But naturalism emerged before the work of feminism had been completed. While women had achieved many gains in the public sphere – with more opportunities for equal pay and equal work – we failed to achieve the same equality in the home. And by tying ourselves to our children for years – perhaps a lifetime – we offer few opportunities for men to be equal partners in the private domain. Badinter concludes

by suggesting feminism is dead, or at least seriously undermined. All true. But hidden in the subtext of Badinter’s book is perhaps an argument that feminism isn’t dead, merely altered.

Badinter believes women today are riding on the coattails of their mothers, at the same time turning their backs on what they fought for. But maybe, as the author, herself, acknowledges, we recognize that our mothers, in their trailblazing efforts to carve out a space for us in the public sphere, failed on the home front as a result. And so, instead of “freedom” as our mantra, somewhere along the way feminism for the third wave has become about “choice.” And part of that choice for

some of us comes down to what is, in fact, our biological destiny: We are the only sex that can bear children and, if we so choose, feed our children for the first days or years of their lives. And some of us actually want to do that, or part of that. And some of us want to have careers, too. And some of us – close to 20 per cent – don’t want to have children at all. But we will fight and defend our right to have the choice. In this new wave of feminism, women actually wield a lot more power than Badinter acknowledges. The mommy bloggers, alone, are a force strong enough to kill or elevate her book sales. And, although it’s trite to presume

that women are, or have ever been, a united front on anything, there are many women – even the Earth mothers that Badinter condemns – who are carving out a new role and a new source of power for women. What women could do better is to be less judgmental of the choices others make. Ours is a complex world, where every major decision is a trade-off between multiple good options. If we want to fight for our right to have choice, then we need to be more supportive of the choices others make that don’t coincide with our own. On that front, at least, we can unite in a new feminist movement.

Some tweaks in response to Kitchissippi concerns From COUNCIL, page 1

In some cases, the amendments also tweak the guidelines to allow a certain width of parking spaces/driveways on smaller lots and changes to how front-facing carports can be built. Some of the tweaks were in response to concerns expressed by Kitchissippi residents, who didn’t want the changes to result in a deluge of on-street parking, Coun. Katherine Hobbs said. But she maintained that the amendments are more of a “clarification” than a

“big change.” Developers wanted to delay the guidelines from coming to council, but Hobbs said council was keen to set something in place. Still, she expects individuals from the development industry to appeal the new rules and the zoning changes that go along with them, to the Ontario Municipal Board. The policy will be reviewed in five year’s time so city council can see if the rules had the intended effect of encouraging compatible infill in established neighbourhoods.

Included in the scope of this project is: • Rehabilitation/replacement of the watermain, • Rehabilitation/replacement of the sanitary sewers, • Rehabilitation/replacement of the storm sewers, • Surface drainage improvements, • New curbs, sidewalks, and road reinstatement, and more recently, • Raised cycle tracks and improved streetscaping.

Increasing the city museum ‘connexion’ Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - The Ottawa Museum Network has launched a new loyalty program it hopes will encourage more families to frequent its 10 community museums across the city. The Connexion Card was introduced on May 10, at Billings Estate National Historic Site and promises free admission, discounted programming and access to exclusive events. The card applies to Billings Estate, Bytown Museum, Cumberland Heritage Village Museum, the Diefenbunker, Goulbourn Museum, Nepean Museum, Osgoode Township Museum, Pinhey’s Point Historic Site, Vanier Museopark and Watson’s Mill. For $70 per family or $50 per individual, card holders enjoy free admission for the year at the four museums that charge and can access exclusive and discounted programming at all 10 museums throughout the year. Brahm Lewandowski, administrator at Billings Estate and Pinhey’s Point, said he hopes the card will attract patrons from a broader region. “We’re hoping that we will be able to get visitors who are coming from across the city. People who were spending more time with their community museum will now be encouraged to leave their community and visit other museums,” he said.

The card also gives access to exclusive events, such as a snowshoe hike at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site in the winter, a kids’ ghost camp at

Watson’s Mill this summer or a paddle of the Rideau River at Billings Estate. For more information visit www.ottawamuseumnetwork.com.

Summer Pugstock a chance to help four-legged friends Seventh annual fundraising event supports Under My Wing Pug Rescue group Kristy Strauss

kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC community - Diane Maroosis loves seeing the improvements pugs make after being rescued from puppy mills and are brought to loving family. “I love every minute,” said Maroosis, a Kanata resident who has brought in two foster

pugs herself. Maroosis let her passion for pugs lead her to become the volunteer foster co-ordinator for Under My Wing Pug Rescue, which is hosting its 7th annual Summer Pugstock event to raise money to help care for the animals that are dropped off at the shelter. When the pugs are first

dropped off, Maroosis said it can be a depressing sight. “When you see them coming in from puppy mills, they’re so lifeless, their eyes are dead, their tails are down and their coats are dull,” she said. “They have no idea what it’s like to be touched gently and receive good food.” Under My Wing has had 215 pugs rescued since 2006, Maroosis said. “We have been very busy.” The volunteer-run organization provides rescued pugs

medical care, attention, comfort, balanced food, companionship and a loving home. The Summer Pugstock will be held at Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre on May 27 and will feature vendors who display clothing, dog apparel and dog spas. The event will also feature demonstrations, a bake sale, a silent auction and raffles. But the event isn’t just for pug enthusiasts – it’s open to everyone who has a pet. “It’s an all-breed event,”

Maroosis said. “It’s open to anybody.” At the event, Maroosis said participants can also see the pugs that are up for adoption and visitors can learn more about the adoption process. “We’re always in desperate need of foster families,” she said. “We’re always looking.” In addition to the event, Maroosis said the organization is looking for more volunteers. Under My Wing – Pug Rescue was created in 2006 and hosts fundraisers through-

out the year to help pugs that come all the way from Montreal, Kingston and Brighton, Ont. The last fundraiser took place in October at its HowlO-Ween Pugstock, where animal owners were invited to attend and dress up with their pets. For more information on dogs available to adopt and on the organization, visit Under My Wing – Pug Rescue’s website at undermywingpugrescue.com.

Three ingredients all you need for tasty spring salad

From AUTHOR, page 1

Marina is her daughter’s biggest fan and proudly carries her daughter’s book wherever she goes. Trina laughs as she explains how her mother shows the book to everyone she knows. “I’m in awe, everyday,” Marina said. “I carry it with me everywhere I go. How can I not?” Trina said she’s gotten mostly positive feedback from those who have read her book, but no matter what the feedback is, Marina couldn’t be more proud of her daughter.

Grade 10 student Trina Etmanskie has published her first book, The Maid Games: Betrayed, and doesn’t plan on stopping any time soon.

She purposely made the end of her first book a cliffhanger and is working on a second book as part of a trilogy. When Trina gets older, she hopes to become an elementary school teacher and also has a goal to graduate from Carleton University’s journalism program. Her advice for other young authors is to stay focused and stick to what you love doing. “You have to stick with it and write every day,” Trina said. “Write down anything. If you love writing, I think you should just stick with it.” The Maid Games: Betrayed is currently available on amazon.com.

his week’s recipe is for a simple threeingredient salad that features a colourful, tasty combination of spinach, avocado and strawberries. Although it’s quick and convenient to use a bottled salad dressing, you may want to make one of the following dressings for the salad. Both are quick and easy to prepare. The Roquefort dressing can be made thick and chunky or smooth and creamy. The raspberry vinaigrette dressing is light and has a slightly sweet flavour. The recipes for the salad dressings may make more than what you will need for this salad. Store any leftover dressing in the fridge for up to one week. Springtime Avocado and Strawberry Salad

• 1 large bag of fresh baby spinach • 10-12 fresh strawberries, sliced (or more if you like) • 1 avocado, peeled and cut into small, bite-size pieces • Your choice of salad dressing This salad is best prepared just before serving. With baby spinach, I like to remove the stems and tear

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff any large leaves into bite-size pieces. To prepare the salad, fill a salad bowl with the spinach, then arrange the strawberry slices and avocado on top. You can either drizzle the dressing lightly over the salad, or let everyone serve themselves at the table. Homemade Roquefort Dressing

• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (Roquefort) • 1/2 cup mayonnaise • 2 tbsp. sour cream • 1/4 to 1/3 cup milk For a chunky texture, mix the ingredients with a fork. For a smooth texture, use a food processor. The thickness can be varied by the amount of milk you add. To prepare the dressing, combine the cheese, mayonnaise and sour cream in either a bowl or a food

processor. Gradually stir or blend in the milk until the dressing reaches the desired consistency. Makes about 1 1/2 cups Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing

• 1/3 cup olive or vegetable oil • 1/4 cup white sugar • 1/4 cup raspberry vinegar (or raspberry-flavored red wine vinegar) • 1/2 tsp. salt • 1/2 tsp. onion powder • 1/4 tsp. dried basil To make this vinaigrette, use a container, such as a small mason jar, that has a tight-fitting lid. Combine all the ingredients in the jar. Close the lid tightly, and shake well. If you are making this ahead, just before serving, shake the dressing again. Makes about 2/3 cup.

EMC entertainment – A few years ago when McKellar Park resident Pat Moore recorded an album with a unique 1950s-1960s country pop sound, she wanted to perform it at an interesting venue in Ottawa. “I wanted to do it in a way that would be fun for an audience, and give back to the community,” said Moore. “A take-off on the Grand Old Opry just seemed to fit.” She wanted the event to raise money for Amnesty International, an organization focusing on the state of human rights around the world. This year, 5th Annual Amnesty International Ottawa Opry will be taking place May 26 at the First Unitarian Congregation hall at 30 Cleary Ave. To add an interesting twist, the show is taking place at the birthplace of Amnesty International’s Canadian arm and during May as well, which is Amnesty International’s anniversary month. “It was a coincidence,” Moore said. “We needed a new venue and knew the Unitarian Congregation is a pretty popular venue for music.” Moore said she wanted the fundraiser to take an art-first focus because she’s a singer/

Man charged in connection with series of sex assaults Ottawa East EMC staff

EMC news - Ottawa Police charged a 25-year-old Ottawa man in connection with a series of sexual assaults in various locations across the city. Most of the incidents involved women reporting a man coming up behind them and pulling down their pants. The incidents were reported between April 14 and May 7. He was faces a total of 27 charges including sexual assault, mischief, breach of probation and criminal harassment. He was arrested on May 9 at about 7 p.m. while riding an OC Transpo bus in the west end of the city. THREE MALES CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH LAPTOP ROBBERY

Three male suspects have been charged by police following a street robbery on May 2 that began as a sale of merchandise advertised on an online forum. On May 2, arrangements were made to sell a laptop computer through a website. When the male victim arrived at the meeting place in Sandy Hill shortly after 7 p.m., he was met by three teens. The potential buyers indicated they needed to go a bank machine to get the money to complete the purchase. As the victim was walking with the buyers, he was jumped from behind by the suspects, one of whom was armed with a knife. The laptop computer was taken and the suspects fled to a vehicle. The vehicle was located a short time later by police and two suspects were arrested. The third suspect was arrested on May 4 by robbery unit investigators. An 18-year-old man and two youths, ages 16 and 17, are charged with robbery, possessing a weapon to commit an offence and conspiracy. The 16-year-old is additionally charged with three counts of breach of recognizance and one count of breach of a Youth Criminal Justice Act sentence. POLICE SEEK WITNESSES OF FATAL ST. LAURENT COLLISION

Witnesses are being sought by police following a fatal collision on St. Laurent Boulevard near the Transitway on May 5. At about 3:10 p.m., a Yamaha Royal Star Venture motorcycle collided with a Dodge Caravan as the vehicles were travelling southbound on St. Laurent. The 54-year-old male driver of the motorcycle was taken to hospital without vital signs and the 53-year-old female passenger sustained non-life threatening injuries. The 41-year-old male driver of the minivan was not injured. Investigators are trying to reconstruct this collision and are asking anyone who witnessed this collision to call Det.

Straw mattresses no sure sign of poverty

oodness knows, I was used to sleeping on a feather mattress. That didn’t mean I went all over Northcote bragging about it. My sister Audrey said only poor people used feathers, because feathers were free. My little friend Joyce slept on a mattress that was tufted and about six inches thick. Pink with blue flowers – what luxury! There were no feathers in Joyce’s mattress. If I complained to Mother about the differences in Joyce’s mattress and mine, she didn’t hesitate to tell me we were lucky to have feathers. She knew some farmers who didn’t raise enough chickens to get the ample supply of feathers needed to fill a mattress. And they certainly couldn’t afford a felt mattress, like my friend Joyce slept on. What they used was straw. I couldn’t believe anyone in the entire Northcote area actually slept on straw. When I approached Audrey about it, she said

Sidewalk sale returns to Glebe garage sale Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC community - The Great Glebe Garage Sale will return to the neighbourhood’s streets this year, offering residents the chance to browse for used treasures while helping out the Ottawa Food Bank. The event, organized by the Glebe Community Association, will take place on May 26. Association board member Lynn Barlow said the association encourages participants to donate 10 per cent of any garage sale earnings to help the food bank. Buyers are also encouraged to make a donation. Last year the event raised $8,566. The annual sale sees home owners, community centres, schools and churches participating. Those living outside the Glebe can rent space in the neighbourhood by going to the Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group website at gnag.ca, which features a map of locations available. As an added bonus this year, the sidewalk sale will return to storefronts along Bank Street. Last year, because of reconstruction work, the sidewalk sale was canceled. Barlow said many people are looking forward to the return of the sale. “I think for them it is bigger than Boxing Day,” Barlow said of the effect on area merchants. Due to the overwhelming popularity of the garage sale, the community association is asking shoppers to leave their cars at home. For more information on the garage sale, please contact Barlow at gggs@glebeca.ca.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Mother was right, there were indeed people, neighbours in fact, whose mattresses were stuffed with straw. It certainly wasn’t a subject you could easily bring up in the school yard, even though I was dying with curiosity. I found myself looking over the girls at the Northcote school, trying to figure out just who was poor enough to sleep on straw, but was never able to single out one person who I thought couldn’t even afford enough chickens for feathers. Well, the riddle was solved for me one day and I didn’t have to do a thing about it other than accept an invitation from Gracie to spend the night at her farm on the next line. It wasn’t at all unusual

for us at the Northcote school to be invited to stay at one another’s home for a night. I never liked to be away from my mother, not even for a night, but if the neighbour lived close enough and they had a horse and buggy just in case I had to come home through the night from homesickness, I was willing to go for the overnight visit. Gracie lived in a log house just like ours. She too, came from a big family, went to the same church we did and her brothers and sisters all went to the Northcote School. That day, along with my lunch and book bag, I carried to school a brown paper bag with my pajamas and clean underwear in it. You

would never dream of going anywhere overnight without clean underwear. It was like going to church in your bare feet. Gracie’s kitchen table was longer than ours and it needed to be in order to accommodate all the brothers and sisters. Like ours, it had two benches on either side instead of chairs. The table was amply laid and like us, not a morsel was touched until Grace was said, after which there was the greatest commotion as each of Gracie’s brothers made a stab for a pork chop from a plate that was stacked sky-high. Gracie’s mother slapped the brother closest to her, and her father did the same with the brother at his elbow. “Can’t you see we have company?” he roared. I looked at the table piled high with food and I decided then and there Gracie’s family wasn’t one of the poorest in the Northcote area. With that many hands, it didn’t

take long to red up the kitchen. The whole family settled down to playing board games, whittling, looking through the Eaton’s catalogue and Gracie’s father, just like mine did every night, pulled up a chair to the cookstove, pulled down the oven door, propped up his feet and got into reading the Family Herald and Weekly Star. I wasn’t sure how it was arranged, but Gracie and I had a bed to ourselves. That probably meant that three of her sisters had to sleep together. When her mother rolled down the top quilt, and Gracie and I plopped into bed, I quickly learned what a straw mattress felt like! There under the flannelette sheet, making sounds just as if we were playing in the hay loft in the barn, I came face to face with my very first straw mattress. I was sure I wouldn’t shut an eye all night. I wondered if it was clean. How many horses or cows had been bedded down on it before it was brought

into the house and packed into a ticking? But it didn’t smell like straw or hay. There were fresh sheets on the bed with that wonderful outdoor smell I was used to at home. The pillows were made of feathers, for which I said a silent prayer of thanks. When I was taken home the next day in the buggy, there were no signs that Gracie’s family was poor. Her father smoked a pipe just like mine did. And the horse was fat of rump, which Father always said was a sure sign of a well looked-after animal. No, there was no sign of poverty anywhere. And they had a telephone long before we had one. So why were they sleeping on straw mattresses? My sister Audrey, always my main source of information, said she was sure it was because Gracie’s mother was so busy having babies, she never did have enough time to pluck chickens, wash feathers and stuff mattresses. At that young age, it all made perfect sense to me.

Chinatown Remixed promotes community through art Annual festival will feature art pieces throughout the community Kristy Strauss

kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - Those visiting Chinatown over the next month will get an additional dose of arts and culture during a festival running from May 12 through June 12. The community is once again hosting Chinatown Remixed, an annual festival promoting the arts and in a way turns the neighbourhood’s businesses into art galleries. Cindy Deachman, the festival’s organizer, has lived in Chinatown for many years and said the idea for the festival came up around four years ago. “Grace Xin, the director of the BIA (business improvement area), was going around to all the different stores and restaurants and asking, what can we do to improve the neighbourhood?” Deachman said. “Don Kwan (the owner of Shanghai restaurant) had

the idea, it just came to him.” From there, Chinatown Remixed was born and since then, Deachman said the festival has helped beautify the area. “Chinatown was seen as down in the dumps,” she said. “Now it’s just amazing.” Deachman said the feedback she’s received on the annual festival has been positive, especially the festival’s social media presence. “Facebook, Twitter, and the website have really helped and I think we’re improving every year,” Deachman said. “It’s such a grassroots festival. It came from the neighbourhood and I’ve never been on a board where members are so hard working. Everyone cares about different aspects.” The festival will feature both performing and visual arts. Deachman said artist Kim Edgar will explore “the absurdities of nature and living

things; the wild strange products of evolution” through her art where she shows sea creatures and land monsters at Clinic Pharmacy at 829 Somerset St. W. On May 12, performing artist Jenny McMaster opened the festival at The Daily Grind by offering tea to people walking by from pots that tend to drip. As they chatted, their tea dropped onto handmade paper and McMaster read their fortunes based on the marks the tea made. Afterwards, McMaster made a piece of art by sewing the handmade papers together. “The BIA is beautifying Chinatown and (the festival) gives people an opportunity to come down to Chinatown and explore these stories, groceries, jewelry stores that you’d never go into,” she said. Deachman said the festival always needs volunteers, and people can visit the website, chinatownremixed.ca, for more information or email the volunteer coordinator at ottawa.chinatown.remixed@ gmail.com.

EMC news - Debts owed by the Rockcliffe Park School Council will be paid off in part by using the school’s book fair money following the discovery that more than $75,000 went missing from the council’s bank account. The council’s board of directors is responsible for money generated by a number of programs for students at the school, including milk and a pizza lunch programs. The money helps fund things such as school trips and an afterschool homework club. After discovering more than $75,000 was missing from their bank accounts in late March, the council spent the month of April trying to sort through accounts owing and sought to secure a loan to cover any liabilities. At a May 8 meeting, the council announced the payment plan to parents. “We are committed to paying off creditors, ensuring continuity for services and to minimize the burden to future councils,” said Elise Zarkadas, president of the council. The missing funds were brought to light when Bettye Hyde, the provider of the afterschool daycare program, notified parents the program had not been paid since December. After reaching an agreement with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, Bettye Hyde and outstanding invoices for the milk program have been paid in full. The circumstances surrounding the missing money remain under investigation by police.

Groups call for Canada-wide policy on food security Michelle Nash

EMC news - Community organizations outlined the challenges faced by low-income earners when it comes to finding their next meal during a meeting with a United Nations special rapporteur in Ottawa on May 8. Just Food and the Ottawa Poverty Reduction Network, two such organizations, discussed the lack of food security and the quality of the food available to struggling fami-

lies with Olivier De Schutter, the UN special rapporteur working on a report on the right to food,. “From the ground, what we are seeing is an increase in disparity,” said Cathleen Kneen, director of Just Food. “We need a national treatment to this problem.” Linda Lalonde from the Ottawa Poverty Reduction Network demonstrated to De Schutter the current food security situation in Ottawa. Three baskets were on the

table next to De Schutter, one from a food bank, set to feed a family of four for one week, the second was a basket full of nutritious food for the same family, with a value of $120. The third basket was a good food box, which offers a family fruit and vegetables for one month for the cost of $10. Lalonde said she hoped something could be done to ensure that proper nutrition plays a part in the UN report. In response, De Schutter said he believes it should play

a part in the equation. In an informal address to the audience, De Schutter said the cost on the health care system is huge and is influenced significantly by the treatment of the many side effects of high sodium and high carbohydrate diets typical of food bank offerings. De Schutter first wrote a UN report addressing the need for food security in 2008. At the time, he said Canada committed to following the recommendations in the report, but as he understands it, there has not been an effective follow up. He said he formally asks different countries all over the world to participate in his study. “To Canada’s credit, they have agreed to this visit and loyally co-operated in this,” De Schutter said. Canada is the first developed country to participate in a visit from De Schutter. “The message I am sending is all countries have problems and everyone has the right to food,” De Schutter said. His final report will be presented in March 2013. De Schutter visit in Canada ends on May 16. At that time, he promised Lalonde and Kneen he promised he would share a preliminary report on Canada, in which case, he said he hopes will be more effective for the government to address their country’s situation. “I am optimistic if pressure is built, things can be achieved.” De Schutter said.

Little did we know that we would ignite an outpouring of interest when Councillors Rainer Bloess, Katherine Hobbs and I attended a meeting of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage on Tuesday, April 24, 2012. We were asked to testify on what we should be doing to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017. It seems to me that we should find a way to celebrate great Canadian achievements. We should be able to display, for all to see, artefacts that mean something to the real people of our great country. I proposed the idea of a Canada House to hold our most treasured national memories in the former US Embassy in Ottawa. This is an iconic space directly opposite Parliament Hill that would be greatly enhanced as the treasure chest of our nation. And it has been sitting empty for 10 years. The possibilities are many: a replica of the Canadarm; Bryan Adams’ first guitar; Banting and Best’s chemistry set; Sydney Crosby’s game-winning stick from the Gold medal game at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics (or a reasonable facsimile, since I bet the Hockey Hall of Fame has the original for themselves).

I continue to receive a Tweets and emails from folks in Ottawa and beyond who have taken a few moments to offer their own suggestions. Everybody was taking a few moments to offer their own suggestions. Jane Osborne said, “We are totally behind you 100 percent. Love the idea we need it in Canada. We need to cheer on Canada.” JeanPierre Dubois-G suggested we should have the First edition of Anne of Green Gables. Noah Caroll wants to see, “Terry Fox’s shoes? An original Bell telephone?” And Melanie Fulop told the Twitterverse that,“Having visited Washington & seen all the museums for free, I think this is a great idea!”

There has also been media interest. Ottawa Citizen columnist Joanne Chianello thinks the idea may be a hit – she wants to see a replica of the Galloping Gourmet’s kitchen! I’m too young to become a museum piece, let alone name, just yet!

Training key to table tennis ace’s Olympic dream Ottawa-based athlete raising funds to continue taking on top talent Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

R0011400699_0517

EMC sports - Ping pong enthusiasts had the opportunity to learn the tricks of the trade from Ottawa’s 2012 Olympic table tennis qualifier in the Byward Market on May 9. The free event, held at SpinBin at 310 Dalhousie St., was organized in an effort to help Canada’s Pierre-Luc Hinse raise money to for his upcoming three months of intensive pre-Olympic training. In the past year, Hinse has travelled the world to play against some of the best table tennis players in the world to

gain the experience needed to qualify for the Olympics. “It is a really amazing feeling,” he said. “When I qualified I shouted so loud. This was the dream for me – really it is a dream of every athlete.” Now only months away from the London 2012 Olympic Games, Hinse will no longer train outside of Canada, but at the Canadian National Training Centre in Ottawa. The evening event was part of an effort to help Hinse raise money so he can afford to continue training against the best in the world. “To me it makes sense to

continue to train against the best,” Hinse said. “Why play against the best and then when it really counts, not? He mentioned he is taking a risk if he leaves the country to train, including getting kicked off the Canadian team, but he said it is the only way he wants to train. “I know I can do better,” Hinse said. “The training centre is good now, but to reach your best level you need to play against the best.” The University of Ottawa student moved to Ottawa to hone his table tennis skills from Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Que. Even though he misses his hometown, the 24-year-old said it has always been about qualifying for the Olympics. “It has been worth it,” Hinse said. “Travel, fight hard, push yourself to get to this point. I am very excited to go.” Hinse has been playing table tennis since he was nine years old, when he and his brother decided to try out their parents’ old table in the basement. Always good at sports, Hinse said he really never took the game too seriously until he purchased a new racket, which came with a coupon to participate in a local tournament. From then on, he was hooked. By the time he was 13, he was training two times a day. At 17, Hinse moved to Ot-

Over the years he has travelled to China (seven times), Finland, Austria and Germany to take on new challenges and hone his skills.

He has won the National Team Challenge, Canadian National Championships and the North American Championships. In the past two years,

Hinse’s game has been steadily improving. He is currently ranked 297 by the International Table Tennis Federation. Hinse qualified for the Olympics on April 22.

Piriformis Syndrome – A Pain in the Butt!

R0011403747

EMC sports - The Ottawa Royals Futuro under-10 boys soccer team has undertaken an ambitious campaign to collect 1,000 pairs of soccer cleats to send to underprivileged children in India. The campaign, Cleats 4 Kids, was started by Futuro coach Sanjeev Parmar and is aiming to gather as many cleats as they can by June 30. The campaign was given country-wide attention when the team was named the Bank of Montreal team of the week as part of a nationwide campaign to promote youth soccer. The Futuro team was recognized for its achievements on and off the field on May 9. “This team is based on a program that goes beyond soccer,” said Parmar in a statement. “As coaches, our goal is to provide each player with the ability to reach his potential.” “When we’re not on the field, we’re building as a team or reaching out to the community. Being recognized as BMO Team of the Week is truly an honour and a testament to the fact that we have something special.” Being named a team of the week offers the Futuro’s a chance at winning a $125,000 field refurbishment. Pete Gauvin, the bank’s manager for the Ottawa metro

ers alike can donate their used or new cleats at a drop box at DiSalvo Sports Soccer Store at 1408 Bank St. or at Louis Riel High School in Orleans. Jaswal also welcomes feedback on new locations for drop

Parmar travels once a year to India through his coaching company, Parmar Sports Training, to work with the local coaches to divert troubled youth to playing soccer. Parmar has always brought pairs of cleats with him for the children. Working with his business manager, Bobby Jaswal, they decided it was time to take on a larger donation project and started the non-profit organization Cleats 4 Kids with the

goal of collecting 1,000 pairs of shoes. The team is also collecting any available soccer gear, including shoes that may need small repairs. They are also accepting monetary donations, Jaswal said. At a recent fundraiser in Stittsville, a local daycare donated $90, which is enough to purchase five new pairs of cleats at a discounted price. The team has already made an incredible effort. “The kids are pretty amazing, parents have been super helpful, but the children, they have been able to go to their principals, making an-

Having trouble sitting comfortably or even walking for more than 15 minutes due to pain? Suffering from tenderness in the buttock region with occasional numbness and tingling down the back of your leg? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you could be affected by a condition called Piriformis Syndrome. The piriformis is a small muscle located in your buttock that runs from the bottom of the spine to the top of your hip that helps to rotate your leg outwards. Although it is only approximately 3-5cm in size, this seemingly minor muscle can cause you major discomfort if it becomes tight. The piriformis muscle usually

tenses up from overuse, however, other causes may include: direct trauma (i.e. a fall), muscle imbalance, muscle spasm, abnormal walking patterns, and improper sitting posture. If you are experiencing a burning or tingling sensation down the back of your leg, it may be caused by compression one of the body’s larger nerves, known as the sciatic nerve, which may run above, below or right through the piriformis itself. Self-treatment of Piriformis Syndrome includes avoiding sitting for long periods of time, irritating activities, and stretching. A visit to your local family physiotherapist can

help speed up the process of loosening up the piriformis by providing you with a combination of 1) Manual soft tissue releases of tight musculature 2) Therapeutic modalities for pain and inflammation 3) Appropriate stretching and strengthening programs to manage and prevent reoccurrence of this condition. Once that tiny muscle is able to relax, you will be able to, too!

Pet Adoptions PET OF THE WEEK CHIP

TYME

ID#A141902

ID#A141406

Chip is a neutered male, white and black Fox Terrier mix who is about five months old. He was brought to the shelter as a stray on April 3 but is now available for adoption. Chip loves to be the boss! He needs an experienced owner who will help him understand his role in the pack. He’s smart and fast and has a lot of potential to excel at obedience or agility training classes. He needs a home with teens and adults who won’t let him get away with mischievous behaviour. Chip’s adoption is conditional on mandatory obedience training. Proof of enrolment is necessary before the adoption can be finalized. Chip’s adoption is a “Foster-Me-First” because he is on medication for an upset stomach.

This neutered male, black Domestic Shorthair cat is just over two years old. He was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on March 20. Tyme loves to play with his human companions. His front paws are declawed, so he needs to be an indoor only feline. (The OHS recommends that all cats be kept indoors for their own safety.) Tyme got along well with humans of all ages in his foster home, but he’d rather not live with other animals – he prefers to have all the attention to himself. Tyme is a finicky eater and may need some T.L.C. in this department until he is comfortable in his new home.

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.

Fun By The Numbers Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test! Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
