Event looks to sign up more teams and volunteers Jessica Cunha

EMC news - Cancer doesn’t sleep and neither do we. This is the answer Rosemary Leu gives when asked why the Relay for Life event is held overnight. “My favourite explanation when people ask ‘Why is Relay overnight?’ the response is that cancer doesn’t sleep and neither do we,” said Leu, the volunteer event chair for the Relay for Life Ottawa West event for the Canadian Cancer Society. The relay will take place on June 7 at Walter Baker Park, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. “We might get tired doing our relay, we fight fatigue, but when you look at what those people are fighting every day, what we’re doing over 12 hours is not so bad,” she said. Teams walk a track, lined with luminaries – candles placed in special bags that bear the names of cancer survivors and loved ones who lost their battle with cancer. A luminary ceremony is held at 10 p.m. “The inspiration and the emotion that you feel from that ceremony is something that stays with you,” said Leu. “It touched me in a very deep way. I think it’s definitely something people can come out and enjoy.”

EMC news - Under My Wing Pug Rescue is once again inviting the city’s Pug lovers to spend a day meeting new fourlegged friends. PugStock will be returning to the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre on May 26 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The dog rescue organization has rescued more than 200 pugs since 2006. It provides foster

in July and an iPad mini, there will exhibitors showcasing everything from animal CPR to agility training. Pugs who have been adopted thanks to the rescue will strut their stuff during a parade and those dogs awaiting adoption will come out and hopefully meet people interested in taking them to their forever home, Gorman said. It takes more than a village to run the rescue, Gorman said, adding all the people involved

are volunteers. “We have no physical shelter building where we can house dogs, so we rely completely on fosters,” she said. As long as there are still backyard breeders and puppy mills, there is a need for Under My Wing to exist, Gorman said. Events like Pugstock also shed light on the work rescue organizations do and help to raise awareness about where to look when searching for a fourlegged addition to your home. For more information on the dog rescue and events, visit undermywingpugrescue.com.

Tanger announces initial list of stores for Kanata outlet mall DKNY, Nine West, Coach among lineup Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The initial list of stores slated to open at a new outlet mall in Kanata were announced during a groundbreaking ceremony at the site last week. Michael Kors, DKNY, Nine West, Coach and Aeropostale were among those listed by Steven Tanger, president and

Along with an investment into the local economy, the project is estimated to create around 700 jobs during the construction phase and 1,000 full-time and part-time retail jobs once the complex is complete. “We are witnessing greater opportunities for consumers,” said Watson. “The centre will be an attraction for tourists.”

CEO of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers Inc. on May 15. “This is an exciting time indeed,” said Tanger, adding the outlet mall will provide a “best in class” shopping experience. “My advice to you is to get your credit cards ready,” he said. The outlet mall will feature around 70 stores in its approximately 27,900 square metres of retail space. Located off Highway 417 at Palladium Drive, Tanger Outlets is set to be completed in 2014. Tanger is investing $115 million into the Ottawa economy, said Mayor Jim Watson.

CROSS-BORDER DOLLARS

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson added the outlet mall will bring in crossborder dollars typically spent in the United States. “(It) provides people the

ability to shop in Canada instead of the States,” she said. Tanger Outlets and RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust co-own three other Canadian outlet malls. “Development in Canada is a tough, tough game,” said John Ballantyne, senior vicepresident in asset management of RioCan. “There’s been no greater enthusiasm than for an outlet centre.” Ballantyne also announced a $25,000 contribution to the Richcraft Recreation Complex in north Kanata. North Carolina-based Tanger Outlets owns 43 outlet shopping centers in the United States and Canada, with more than 2,700 stores operated by 460 different brand name companies. The groundbreaking ceremony included a parade of outfits by the stores announced by Tanger. The other brand names include: • Nike • Calvin Klein • Gap • Banana Republic • Brooks Brothers • American Eagle • Guess

Relay number one fundraiser for cancer research in Canada Continued from page 1

The Relay for Life committee is looking for more teams to join the event. Last year, the west Ottawa event had 44 teams registered and Leu said she “absolutely” wants to beat that number this year. As of mid-May, 37 teams were registered. Ashley Stewart is the team captain of the Roast Beasts. Her team relays in memory of her sister, Lindsay, who lost her battle with colon cancer in 2011 at age 30. According to her team’s profile, “Lindsay lived every day to its fullest and never stopped fighting. She spoke about her disease openly and publicly in hopes of her story

saving someone else’s life. We relay to continue telling Lindsay’s story and to honour her memory.” The team name is derived from Lindsay’s tumour, which she nicknamed “The Beast” and from Sunday dinners with the family, consisting of roast beef. “This will be our fourth year walking in a cancer fundraiser in the Ottawa area, raising well over $20,000 so far in the fight against cancer,” said the team’s profile, which has raised more than $2,800 of its $5,000 goal this year. “It’s not too late for people to register a team or go to the website and pledge support for an existing team,” said Leu, who is also the executive

director of the Kanata Chamber of Commerce. “The more teams we have, the more people participate in the event, the greater time we’ll have and the more funds we will raise. “It’s primarily a fundraising event but it’s so much more than that.” Last year, $145,000 was raised from the Ottawa west relay, while $1.2 million was raised in total from the Ottawa west, east, south and centre Relays for Life. The event is the largest charitable fundraiser for cancer research in Canada, said Leu. Last year, $46 million was raised across the country. Of that, almost $15 million was

The luminaries are lit during last year’s Relay for Life Ottawa West event for the Canadian Cancer Society at Walter Baker Park. Last year saw 44 teams participate and $145,000 raised from the Kanata event. This year, Rosemary Leu, volunteer event chair, is hoping to break those numbers. given to research in Ottawa. “There is a tremendous amount of work done in our city,” said Leu, who got involved with the relay four years ago as a volunteer. CELEBRATION

A self-management program for cancer survivors and caregivers

Many teams have a theme tying into their team name. Others dress up in matching outfits or costumes. “It’s a festival atmosphere and it’s a really inspiring event,” said Leu. “I’m proud to be part of it.” During the 12-hour event there are fun activities throughout the night, such as team spirit and themed laps. A survivors’ victory lap kicks off the beginning of the relay at 6:40 p.m., followed by a

parade of the teams. “The survivors’ victory lap is another one where we celebrate the fight that they’ve gone through, are going through, and winning that battle,” said Leu. “It’s a fantastic celebration of life. “We remember loved ones lost … but we celebrate those that are fighting and surviving every day.” Leu added the committee is also looking for volunteers to help on the day of the relay. “Come out and help us for a few hours,” she said. “Participate in some of the ceremonies.” She added a number of community businesses have donated time and volunteered resources to the event.

The strategy proposing a “balanced and humane approach” will be considered by the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee at a yet-to-be-determined date. The biggest thing missing from the discussion about managing wildlife in Ottawa is the responsibility residents must take in living alongside wildlife if they choose to reside in a rural or semi-rural area, El-Chantiry said. “You’re dwelling in an area that wildlife used to call their home. They still think it’s their home,” he said. Indeed, the city’s draft wildlife strategy emphasizes that many human-wildlife conflicts can be prevented or solved by better understanding the dynamic. “Many conflicts result from carelessness or lack of knowledge of private citizens and public officials regarding the needs and behaviours of wildlife, especially urban wildlife. Property owners may inadvertently create the conditions that attract wildlife and put them at risk,” the proposed strategy reads. The West Carleton councillor said he gets frustrated when he hears stories about residents offering piles of feed in their yard to

Morris Island Conservation Area, fish for muskellunge within walking distance of Parliament Hill, picnic and pick berries on the Carp Hills Rock Barrens, or identify the winter tracks of fishers and otters in the woods and wetlands of the Marlborough Forest? Ottawa is blessed with an abundance of wildlife in their natural habitats, easily accessible to the public, of which it could and should boast.” The strategy suggests doing that by planning an urban wildlife speaker series and additional school outreach and more information on the city’s website, ottawa.ca.

provincial Endangered Species Act. The strategy suggests the city is missing opportunities to promote its natural character. “How many residents of Ottawa know that moose live within a 15-minute drive of Ottawa city hall, or that Lac Deschênes is recognized as a globally significant bird area, or that 52 species at risk can be found within the city’s boundaries?” the draft strategy reads. “How many of Ottawa’s visitors or potential visitors know that they can paddle past turtles and herons on the shores of the idyllic Mississippi River or the

city to pick up the slack. “In the absence of the MNR doing their job, we are trying to be nice (and) pick up the slack,” he said. At this point, police officers are responding to calls more often than ministry staff, which is why there might be a need for a city wildlife strategy, El-Chantiry said. Another issue to consider is that Ottawa is a “hot spot” for species at risk, according to the draft strategy, with as many as 52 species at risk known or suspected to make their habitat here. Twenty nine of those species are protected as threatened or endangered species under the

EMC news - The city wants residents’ feedback on its proposal for dealing with wildlife conflicts within city limits, but West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry thinks the issues just require common sense. The city has been picking away at a wildlife strategy since early 2010, when council ordered a review following a series of issues with coyotes. Since then, a number of moose have had to be destroyed and urban sprawl has introduced suburban homes to areas that have habitats for animals like wild turkeys.

attract deer. Not only does that encourage animals to roam around inhabited areas and potentially cause danger, it makes them reliant on humans and unable to survive on their own. Most problems can be prevented by avoiding those types of activity, El-Chantiry said. “We don’t need to have a strategy,” he said. “But I am willing to learn if someone can come up with a bright idea. Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, who heads the agricultural and rural affairs committee and has served as the polticial leadership on the issue, did not return repeated phone calls. The Ontario Wildlife Coalition slammed Thompson in a press release on May 1. “In case anyone was under the illusion that the City of Ottawa was going to mirror other modern cities and adopt a progressive approach to wildlife, that illusion came crashing down when Mayor Watson handed the strategy to Coun. Doug Thompson”, stated coalition member Anita Utas, a resident of Stittsville. Utas cites Thompson’s support of a coyote cull as a sign that Thompson’s leadership in the issue means the city is not willing to seek out “modern” and non-lethal approaches to dealing with wildlife. “If Coun. Thompson’s lethal approach to human/wildlife conflicts is any measure, then we are going to see an escalation of wild animals being killed in Ottawa,” coalition and Animal Alliance of Canada spokeswoman Liz White stated in the press release. The city’s role is quite limited when it comes to dealing with conflicts between people and animals. Most of that responsibility is supposed to lay with the provincial Ministry of Natural Resources. But that department has been neutered over time by incremental budget cuts, El-Chantiry said – leaving the

OPINION EDITORIAL

Time to confront concussions

T

he death of a Barrhaven teen after sustaining a severe head injury during a rugby game last week has highlighted the need for more education about concussions and brain

injuries. Rowan Stringer, 17, a John McCrae Secondary School student and the captain of her school rugby team, was tackled hard and hit her head and neck on the ground during a game on May 14. According to comments from her parents, Rowan had suffered two head injuries the week leading up to her fatal injury. The first time, she told her parents and took a pain reliever, the second time she only told her friends about the injury. We don’t know if these were concussions, but the family has authorized an autopsy to find out the factors leading to her death. Ottawa’s public school board is now taking a hard look at its safety policies to see if they can be improved and make sure players aren’t playing with injuries. But we can’t place the onus on just the coaches – it’s impossible for them to monitor every single hit. All of us – parents, family members, fellow players, properly armed with the knowledge about the dangers of head injuries can help prevent

athletes playing with concussions. The president of the Brain Injury Association of Canada has suggested, during an interview with the media, that Rowan might still be alive today if there was better awareness among coaches, players and the general public about the dangers of repeated concussions. The danger of suffering an injury, ranging from bumps and bruises to broken bones and head injuries, is a fact of life for all athletes. Nothing will change that. But athletes properly educated about the dangers of head injuries, can intelligently decide whether or not they are fit to participate in a game or competition. A big part of the problem is athletes don’t want to report head injuries because they’re afraid they will miss games. Education is a universal cure for poor decision making and a key component for preventing and treating sports-related concussions. Schools and sports associations should provide coaches, players and parents with the training and knowledge to both identify and treat concussions and head injuries. Research shows that if an athlete takes a hit to the head and suffers headaches afterwards, they may have suffered a concussion. An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure.

The cameras prowl around the city looking for hockey fans being interesting – which is to say, noisy and excited. Naturally, the cameras find the public areas where noisy and excited people gather. In Ottawa, that would be the so-called Red Mile downtown. People with painted faces and colourful costumes are there. Along the Red Mile, and its equivalent in other cities, the cameras enter the bars, where people are all too happy to wave and shout and chant and look like newsworthy fans. But there are other, less newsworthy fans in our city. Perhaps they are the majority. Fortunately for them, the cameras do not seek them out. For these fans their fanaticism is private. They stay out of the public places. Their faces remain unpainted and they wear their normal clothes. Yet in their own way, they are making the adjustment to playoff mode.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town This requires changes in their behaviour patterns. Dinner, instead of being at the usual time, now must be earlier, to be over in time for the game. Or it must become a different kind of dinner, in order to be eaten off the lap in front of the TV set. Or it must be so late as to be verging on fashionable. Social life becomes more complicated. A dinner party scheduled weeks ago suddenly is found to coincide with the game. It can’t be shifted: that would be rude. So calculations have to be made. Are the guests fans? Would they mind eating at 5:30, before the game? Would they mind eating at 10 p.m., after the game? Can they persuaded to eat Chinese food off their laps, in front of the TV, with chopsticks? And if the guests are not hockey fans? Published weekly by:

There are people in the world who think about other things and are oblivious to what happens on the ice. They want to talk about Syria. How many times can you sneak away from the conversation during dinner to check the score? And what will be your excuse – stirring the dessert, making the coffee, a sudden nosebleed, another sudden nosebleed? And how to explain to your guests the sudden elation/depression you feel around 10 p.m? Depression could be Syria, I suppose. Another trial facing the private fan has to do with his/her children/grandchildren. They can scarcely be shielded from the fanaticism that is all around them. But they can’t be allowed to stay up until 10 on a school night either. As a consequence, a small but significant proportion of the fan base only sees the first period. But even that one period has its own challenges. The commercials have to be muted – which leads to the spectacle of silent video game monsters and Justin Trudeau in his undershirt. Further, a quick escape strategy has to be plotted to divert impressionable young eyes away from the fights. “Quick: Weather Network!� goes the cry whenever the gloves are dropped. In some games, the children see more low

pressure systems than slapshots. They must wonder why people paint their faces for this. Even among private fans, the pressure builds, the anguish and the ecstasy, the groans and cheers, and the tough part, at the end of it, is to explain to the children and grandchildren of private fans that it’s only a game, that you shouldn’t be mad at your team, you shouldn’t hate the other team and life goes on, win or lose. While you’re doing that, the screen fills with all the grieving painted faces in one city and all the hysterically happy painted faces in the other. Quick: Weather Network!

True Sport all about fun, inclusion: students Internationally successful athletes share inspirational stories with students Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Former Major League pitcher Michael Kusiewicz learned many valuable life skills playing baseball. As a high school student, the smallest noise, even the sound of a pencil dropping, was enough to distract him. But he discovered how to focus his mind pitching at the ball diamond, where his attention narrowed to his catcher’s glove at home plate. “The number one biggest influence in my life is sports,” said Kusiewicz, who went on to become the first Ottawaborn player drafted by a Major League Baseball team. “I learned on the baseball field how to focus.” Kusiewicz and Team Canada fencer John Wright shared some of the life lessons they learned participating in sports with more than 260 Bridlewood elementary school students at Deevy Pines Park during True Sport Play Day on May 17. The sixth-annual event, organized by the Bridlewood Community Association, teaches children the values of fairness, excellence, inclusion and fun. “If things aren’t fun it’s hard to learn,” said Dina Bell-Laroche, a BCA member who was responsible for bringing True Sport to the community. Last Friday, five play stations were set up around Deevy Pines Park and the field was filled with the sounds of laughter, happy shrieks and running children. “Sport contributes immeasurably to the vibrancy of our community,” said community association president Margaret Kellaway. “True Sport is having fun with your friends,” said Bridle-

wood Community Elementary School student Abbey Larocque. The purpose of True Sport is “to make everyone included,” added Jacquelyn Grossutti, a student at St. Anne Catholic Elementary School. Students from Roch Carrier, Bridlewood Community, St. Anne Catholic, St. James Catholic, W. O. Mitchell and Élisabeth-Bruyère French Catholic elementary schools took part in the two-hour event. True Sport is a national movement to provide a safe, welcoming and rewarding experience in sport. ROLE MODELS

Aside from enjoying fun on the field, students were treated to presentations by Kusiewicz and Wright, two local, successful athletes. Wright, who hails from south Ottawa, has competed in fencing tournaments around the world as a member of Team Canada. At a world cup tournament last year, the Canadians beat the American team on Canada Day, placing second overall. “It was a pretty cool experience for me,” said the 22-yearold. Wright began fencing at age eight after taking part in a Carleton University sport camp. “I came home and told my parents that was what I enjoyed most,” he said. Wright has trained at the RA Centre ever since. Speaking with the students, he mentioned a tournament where his team was up by 10 points. The last to fence, Wright lost the battle and the team didn’t advance past the top eight. He said he began to doubt his

But he picked himself back up, continued his training, and has gone on to compete around the world. “As long as I’m getting better and improving, it doesn’t really matter what other people think,” he said. “Through sport you can really realize … there are a lot of people who would judge you. You can change your weaknesses.” Having a positive role model, whether a coach, parent, sibling, teacher or friend, is important, he added. “You need good role models to succeed,” said Wright, who graduated from the University of Ottawa’s history program this year. In July, Wright will travel to Russia for the World University

Games. NEVER GIVE UP

Kusiewicz said another lesson he learned on the baseball diamond was to never give up. He played for the East Nepean Eagles before moving on to a men’s team at the age of 16. In 1994, he was drafted in the eighth round by the Colorado Rockies, and during his pro-career had stints playing in the Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Red Sox, Milwaukee Brewers and Oakland Athletics’ minor league systems. In 1998, the year he was named the Rockies’ Minor League Player of the Year, Kusiewicz tore his shoulder and underwent surgery. “It felt like someone was sticking a knife into my shoulder,” he said. “But I didn’t quit.” He went on to play 10 more years, including at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, where Team Canada’s men’s baseball team finished

What women really want

I

was having coffee with a friend of mine the other day. She has a full-time job, three school-age children and a husband who also has a full-time job, an hourlong daily commute and chronic health problems. As one does in these situations, I asked, “how’s it going?” Always with a sense of humour, she said, it’s chaotic, but okay. “But the laundry! I need to hire someone to fold the laundry! My children are starting to think it’s normal to search for clean clothes in a mountain in the basement,” she lamented. I started thinking deeply on her laundry dilemma. If my friend were a man, would she be more likely to outsource the laundry? I suspect she would. In fact, earlier this year, when my husband was midway through his parental leave, he did just. He had stuff he wanted to do while on leave, like spend a few hours perusing his favourite stores, visit with friends, have a daily shower (and, ironically, renovate the laundry room). So he put the request out there: “What if we hire someone a few mornings per week to look after the baby?” I was nervous at first and

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse really unsure about the financial sustainability of it. It also seemed incredibly indulgent, considering we were both home. But five months in, I realize it’s amazing to have an extra pair of hands on deck. In fact, I’m not sure how I ever stayed home full-time with my boys when they were babies and managed everything on my own. (Anyone with a toddler knows that cleaning up after their self-feeding meals alone is a full-time job -- never mind the fact that a baby seems to triple the household laundry at minimum). It made me think: “leave it to a man to come up with a practical solution to buy a few hours of free time each week, so that, you know, he could have a life as well as look after a baby full-time.” Yes, I’m gender stereotyping here. But most stereotypes are

grounded in some version of the truth. And the reality is that women, especially where children are concerned, too often fail to consider themselves first. I look around at the women I know and regardless of whether they’re home full-time or trying to simultaneously work outside the home and look after things on the domestic front, it seems everyone is simply doing too much. Last year, American academic Anne-Marie Slaughter caused a stir with her article in The Atlantic, and especially its title, “Why Women Still Can’t Have it All.” But I’m wondering why anyone would want to have it all -well, at least, the responsibility of it all. It’s incredibly freeing to delegate and outsource tasks, whether that’s hiring someone to throw dinner in the slowcooker and get the laundry into

the drawers each day, or getting an accountant to do your taxes. With the recent release of Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg’s book, Lean In, there is a new mainstream discussion emerging on the future of feminism. The co-authors of The New Girls’ Network recently noted in a Harvard Business Review blog much of this new discussion is focused on “executive feminism,” primarily, how to get more women into top roles of organizations. And while this is an essential conversation to be having, particularly pushing cultural change in organizations to better develop women into top roles, it’s also necessary to continue empowering women across the board. Perhaps the best place to start is by encouraging women to be a bit more selfish. Let’s scrap the ideologies that cause women to believe they are solely responsible for rearing the perfect child. Let’s start “thinking like men” and putting ourselves first so we can be healthier, stronger and offer a well-rounded perspective to our kids. It’s empowering and at the end of the day, I think it’s what women really want.

No May flowers at art exhibit puts focus on other subjects Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - April showers bring May flowers but this month at the Kanata Civic Art Gallery, patrons will be treated to a show of anything but. The “Anything but Flowers”exhibit at the Mlacak Centre, which runs until June 23, features Beaverbrook artist Catherine Hunt Edwards and north Kanata’s Sheila Turner-Whalen. Edwards enjoys capturing mechanical items on canvas, like tractors, trucks abandoned in fields, and construction sites. “I like things that are boxy and square,” said Edwards, one of the founders of the civic art gallery. “Flowers I find too complicated.” Her pieces on display include street scenes in Toronto, construction in Montreal and a produce vendor’s store in Oxford, England. “The mechanical stuff is quite interesting to draw,” said Edwards, who is a juried member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour. She takes her own photos with a point-and-shoot digital camera when she finds a subject she’d like to paint. Edwards also enjoys working in series, taking a subject and painting numerous pieces. Edwards began painting in 1971, when her children were babies. She had just started taking art classes when

her third child came along. “I went back two weeks later,” she said. Edwards prefers using watercolour and acrylic. She works with six colours – two each of red, yellow and blue. When she has white in a painting, it’s the canvas showing through. “You have to think as you go along,” she said about knowing where to leave white space. Edwards took an art course open to the public at Earl of March Secondary School, and part of the semester was spent working in clay and soapstone. The dust from the soapstone isn’t healthy, so Edwards said she tried her hand at wood. She works with soft pines, cedars and basswoods, mainly with small, manual tools to bring the wood to life. Every year, she makes Santa Clauses for each of her six grandchildren for Christmas. She’s also completed a number of wood spirits – old men with long beards – and green men – which typically overlook gardens. “I’m trying to learn how to do full faces,” said Edwards. When it comes to art, “It’s not easy to stop. It’s just something you do all the time,” she added. ABSTRACT

Turner-Whalen has been a juried member of the Kanata Civic Art Gal-

lery since 1993. She began painting three years earlier after seeing a notice for an art club in the local paper. Working mainly with acrylics and watercolour pencils, Turner-Whalen paints abstracts, landscapes and stilllifes. “I like that; it’s just me,” she said. “I like to try different things. I like variety.” She’s won several awards for her abstract art, and if she had to pick a favourite type of painting, that style is up there. “When I want to let the child out to play, is when I do abstracts with fluid acrylic because I never know what I’m going to get,” she said. “I think my favourite type of painting to do is abstract … I’m playing with colour.” Turner-Whalen starts out by pouring paint on her canvas and spraying it with water. She tilts the canvas to make the colours run and then uses a straw to blow the paint around. “It’s just amazing sometimes what happens,” said Turner-Whalen. Her paintings on display include Pinhey’s Point and the Pinhey house, a barn along Highway 7 and an area at Calabogie Peaks. Turner-Whalen has a garden at home, with lilies, poppies, petunias, pansies and irises that she uses as inspiration for her works. “I do enjoy painting flowers,” she said.

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

Catherine Hunt Edwards enjoys painting construction scenes and mechanical objects. The Beaverbrook artist is one of two featured members of the Kanata Civic Art Gallery’s newest exhibit, ‘Anything but Flowers.’ “I enjoy being part of the gallery,” she added. “I enjoy being with people that have the same interests I have.” COLOUR ME, KIDS

The art gallery is hosting another “Colour Me, Kids” exhibit to run alongside the members’ “Just 4 Fun” showing, from June 26 to Aug. 1. “We invited younger kids, up to age 11, to drop by the gallery ... to pick up a postcard,” said member artist Judi Miller. Children can choose from three

postcards, two with pre-drawn images and a blank card. “Bring it back before June 21 and we will display their creations during our July show,” said Miller. The Kanata Civic Art Gallery is located in the Mlacak Centre at 2500 Campeau Dr. For more information and hours of operation, visit the website at kanatagallery.ca. While the Beaverbrook library branch is under construction, a temporary entrance is set up at the arena, to the left of the main doors.

Little Florist Birthday parties are educational, creative and fun! Budding florists will learn about flower identification, flower care and floral design at our little florist birthday parties. The best part is that everyone goes home with their own unique flower arraignment! We wanted to share a recent flower party with you. Last Sunday afternoon, FlowersInspire hosted a little florist birthday party for Jordahn and her friends in Ottawa. When we arrived, the girls were so excited to see us and welcomed me as the “flower lady”. Eager to start their flower party, they helped us bring in the flowers and carry a large floral delivery box into the house. Along with the flowers, we also brought everyone a smaller box with a vase and a card to write their names. We started by taking some time to get to know everyone and shared stories on how flowers are inspiring. After explaining what the word inspired meant, here is what they said: • Jordahn is inspired by pink and butterflies. • Emily is inspired by Justin Beiber. • Debbie is inspired by sunshine and flowers. • Maya is inspired by her hair. • Sheri is inspired by her motorcycle. • Lauryn is inspired by pretty things, shiny things and her lizard. • Mikayla is inspired by rubies. • Taylor is inspired by laughter.

excited to learn that different flowers represent each of their birth months. Taylor’s flower was the carnation for the month of January. Jordahn’s was the daffodil, and most of the other participants all born in July learned their flower was larkspur. It was now time to fill our vases with flowers. They learned how to cut their greenery and use leather fern to create the base of their vase flower design. We then added a few “filler flowers” called solidago and statice, followed by daisies, Yoko Onos and mini-carnations. Then we finished the design with our accent and line flowers, including tulip, freesia, and gerbera’s. The children loved to put the final touches on their bouquets with several accessories including yellow butterflies. When the budding florists were asked which flower inspired them the most, here is what they said: • Jordahn and Lauryn: gerbera • Emily: freesia • Debbie: tulip • Maya: statice • Sheri: Yoko Ono • Mikayla and Taylor: carnation

Oh by the way, the owner of FlowersInspire (Vanessa) is inspired by butterflies, the color pink and ice cream cake!

At the end of our session, Jordahn had a special request. She wanted to make corsages for everyone, a skill she picked-up at Kidsfest, where she first found out about FlowersInspire and Little Florist birthday parties.

The girls then put on their green aprons and we were ready to begin the floral session. Jordahn asked why the aprons had the words “Pick Ontario” on them. A great question to start the session!

Jordahn did an amazing job instructing her friends and family how to create a corsage with a carnation floral wire and tape. All eyes were on this floral protégé as she showed everyone each step of the creative process.

We looked at posters of Ontario-grown plants and flowers, which also identified when they are available throughout the year. We also learned about some other local varieties that grow in their own province and throughout the rest of Canada.

Everyone had a wonderful time sharing, laughing and learning about floral designs and everyone was proud of their creation.

We then opened a box of flowers and the inspiration and learning began!

Thank you Jordahn for sharing your 11th birthday celebration with FlowersInspire. It was a pleasure to meet you, your family and friends and share in the power of flowers together!

We passed around a large variety of flowers, including hot pink gerbera daisies, yellow tulips, pink and white mini carnations, purple statice, yellow solidago, mauve freesia, white daisies and green Yoko Ono’s. The children were

It has always been difficult to know. Knowing how to give, receive, and identify love has never been easy. Endless books, movies, songs and even scripture are written about it, but the arena of love continues to

confuse us. Really knowing that someone loves you can be a difficult concept to grasp. It is not always evident how to appropriately and effectively express your love to someone else. Interpreting the signs and words of love is not always done well; acts of love can be poorly communicated and are often misinterpreted. “I can’t believe she does not get that I love her! I vacuum the floor for her every week!� some men say. “If that doesn’t say love, then what does?� “I can’t believe he does not understand how much I love him,� some women say. “I tell him that every day!� Is language alone effective?

Teen skater tops in province West Carleton student a natural: coach Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC sports - A Morgan’s Grant teen has won the provincial championship title for figure skating. Joni Benedeczky, 16, won first place at the 2013 Skate Ontario STARSkate competition, which was held in Fort Erie, Ont., this past March. The West Carleton Secondary School student was up against four other competitors in the finals in the senior bronze men category. “I won first place, and I am really happy to hold the provincial champion title in my category,” said Joni in an email. “There are many things to consider in a solo. It’s not just about the jumps and the spins. It’s about putting them together gracefully; putting your heart into it and making it look easy and enjoyable to watch. “I was very happy with my results since I performed a clean program.” The Grade 10 student has been a member of the March Kanata Skating Club for eight years, two of those as a CanSkater and six at the StarSkater level. “In the year that I was finishing the CanSkate program, I had the opportunity to see the older and more

experienced skaters perform during our ice show,” he said. “I loved it so much that I decided to continue on to the StarSkate program where with hard training, you can set higher standards for yourself.” And Joni is a hard worker. In just under five months of practicing double jumps, he could land them all. “It took lots of hard work, but it all paid off,” he said. Joni’s coach, Micheline Metcalfe, has been working with the teen for two years. “He is an excellent jumper; it would be accurate to describe him as a natural,” she said in an email. “He is also light, quick and agile on his feet.” Metcalfe added Joni has a strong work ethic and keeps at his drills until his goals are accomplished. “I am really pleased with his progress,” she said. “His improvement is quite astonishing considering the very short span of time we have been together, and he is a joy to coach.” She said Joni’s enthusiasm is obvious, and he’s in the arena practicing at ever opportunity. “His commitment does not begin and end with him – he also works

with the younger skaters, both as a partner for the girls’ dances and also as a CanSkate professional assistant. Most of the coaches in our club remark on Joni’s punctuality, reliability and generosity of time in terms of setting-up and putting-away the CanSkate materials. You can always count on him to help out.” Three Glen Cairn Skating Club members also placed at the provincial competition. Eliza Moore received bronze in the junior silver ladies category, Lucas Nguyen won silver for pre-juvenile men under-14, and Tim Pham placed first in the gold men freeskate category. The 18-year-old, who lives in Kanata Lakes and attends All Saints Catholic High School, has been skating with the Glen Cairn club for 13 years. “I love the people that are involved with the sport, especially the coaches and skaters in my club. They have become my second family,” he said in an email. “My passion for skating also comes from doing things that always amazes others – skating extremely fast, spinning without getting dizzy, and jumping a meter or two into the air.” OBSTACLES

Bullying and stereotypes part of skating world: Joni Joni loves the sport but points out there are obstacles for male figure skaters. Joni has endured bullying for participating in something he enjoys. “I find that teenagers – boys and girls – have something against male figure skaters. I’ve been called gay before, but I just ignore those people,” he said. “Nobody knows what figure skaters go through. We train lots and lots and it’s pretty amazing how far we can push ourselves.” Pham has had his own experiences when it comes to being stereotyped. “I would like to say that stereotypes have affected me throughout my life, but I am very lucky to be able to say that it was only (a) minor issue,” said Pham. “I tend to just distract myself from the issue; every practice I set up a goal and set my full attention on achieving it. By doing so, I become oblivious of what the others – mostly pre-teen hockey players – are doing and saying around the boards. “However, this only works on-ice. Luckily, all my friends and family greatly support me and convince me that I do not fit the stereotype. Their views on my skating influence me to work more on the powerful side of figure skating versus its artistic and graceful aspect.” The sport requires a lot of strength and power. Skaters need “the speed of a sprinter, the balance of a tightrope walker, and the endurance of a marathon runner,” said Joni. “I find it amazing how figure skaters can rotate three times in the air, and land on a three-milli-

metre-wide blade, on one foot,” he added. “During the take-off of a jump, one has to carry two to four times their own body weight. Not only that, but on the landing of a jump, you have to support seven times your body weight on the landing of a triple. We need to acquire an enormous amount of strength.” When it comes to bullying and stereotypes, Metcalfe said she works with her skaters to build a positive self-image. “I don’t have any magic solutions to eschew the action and results of bullying and misguided stereotypes,” she said. “Through my method, I focus on building strength of character and reinforcing self-esteem through the setting and achievement of goals. This success seems to instill a sense of pride and accomplishment, which seems to make my students resilient.” Up next for Joni is a desire to compete at a national level. “I do not know for sure how far I would like to take figure skating, but it would be nice to compete nationally,” he said. “I’m working on improving my spins, perfecting my double jumps, and I am starting to work on my triples, which will hopefully open some doors to different levels of competitions in the years to come.” Pham plans on joining a university team and move towards coaching. “I already have my CanSkate coaching license, which allows me to teach new skaters,” he said. “It also gives me an opportunity to show them how cool and awesome figure skating can be at a young age.”

Targeted rezonings appease communities Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - An effort to strike a balance between protecting community character and maintaining property owners’ rights in Old Ottawa South will set the stage for zoning reviews across the city. The first two projects for the city’s new zoning consistency team will be used as a test case to set the direction for a review of infill homes in the city’s urban neighbourhoods, set to kick off next month, said city planner Alain Miguelez, the program manager of intensification and zoning. In Old Ottawa South, a contentious plan to rezone a property at 9 Rosedale Ave. sparked a need to look at what types of buildings should be allowed to be constructed along the Rideau Canal be-

tween Bank Street and Bronson Avenue. Infill is now a significant trend and a “happy predicament” for the city, Miguelez said. The zoning reviews for Colonel By Drive and a second pilot project review of three properties on Greenbank Road will help the city’s planning department frame how it tackles the issues on a larger scale as part of the Phase 2 infill study, Miguelez said. When it comes to Colonel By, a planning consultant found it wouldn’t do much good to downzone the area to allow less density or fewer types of homes. Instead, a planning consultant hired by the city is recommending keeping the zoning but adding a height limit and a restrictive heritage overlay, which requires homes to be built in a compatible manner if they are demolished or destroyed by something like

fire. It’s the same type of tool used to guide homebuilding on the other side of the canal, on Queen Elizabeth Drive. Height limits would drop from 11 metres to nine metres, which would still allow for a three-storey home, said Nancy Meloshe, the planning consultant the city hired for the project. Only three of the existing 39 homes along that stretch are taller than nine metres. The mix of housing styles is something residents really value, and a couple people wanted to ensure the new restrictions wouldn’t prevent the construction of homes in modern architectural styles. Miguelez said keeping the more lenient zoning will allow the area to become home to more residents, which aligns with the city’s intensification goals, while encouraging the existing homes and the neighbourhood character to be retained. “It would be a disservice to those big old homes to not allow them to change with the times,” Miguelez said. The R3 zone allows for homes to be converted to con-

Fire Hydrants: Testing for your Safety This summer, as in past years, the City of Ottawa will be testing municipal fire hydrants on various streets throughout your community. Fire hydrant testing may result in temporary inconveniences, such as poor water pressure and brown or rust-coloured water. It is important to note that temporarily discoloured City water is not harmful to your health. This ongoing maintenance procedure ensures that our hydrants are ready, should Fire Services require their use. Over the next few weeks, the City will be testing fire hydrants in the following neighbourhoods:

tain up to four dwellings, up to 10 residents in a group home or retirement home, a duplex, townhome or semi-detached dwelling, a home-based business or diplomatic mission. Residents who live in the homes along the stretch said they are less concerned about whether people live in townhomes or semi-detached dwellings and more concerned about the height of the homes and ensuring their scale is compatible with neighbouring dwellings. It also means any additions to homes would have to be in the rear of the house and smaller in scale, so they aren’t visible from the street. That concerned a couple of residents, including Wallace Dowswell, who added that overall he was happy. “This will reduce the incentive to demolish and rebuild,” he said. “We’re allowing change, but controlled change.” Changing the zoning for the area would also be a bad idea because it would mean several of the homes would no longer conform to the area’s zon-

ing – something the city calls “non-conforming rights.” The city tries to avoid that because it creates a tangled mess for homeowners to acquire insurance if the home is sold to a new owner and can therefore make homes difficult to sell. There is one additional restriction that would apply to three or four properties that have lots larger than 40 metres deep. Those property owners would face a restriction aimed at limiting how far back into the lot – and therefore how large – a home or addition could be. The Colonel By and Greenbank zoning consistency changes will be presented to the city’s planning committee for approval on June 25. The changes will be accompanied by a related but smaller review of three properties in KnoxdaleMerivale Ward: 171, 173 and 175 Greenbank Rd. That review was initiated following the approval of a zoning amendment for 149-153 Greenbank Rd. to permit the construction of a five-storey apartment building comprising 61 units.

When a property along Colonel By Drive at 9 Rosedale Ave. was rezoned in 2011, it kicked off a process looking at the types of homes that should be allowed on that stretch along the Rideau Canal.

Meloshe found that the properties are ripe for more intense development and is recommending boosting the building height limit from 10 m to 15 m, prohibiting a few uses including community centre or a drive-through and increasing the size of the backyard. The property owners are in agreement and Meloshe expects them to bring forward a plan for a retirement residence. Miguelez said what his team learned during the Colonel By zoning discussion could be applied to a broader swath of Old Ottawa South. That could come up during Phase 2 of the city’s small-scale infill homes review, which is getting underway this month and will be the topic of a public meeting in June. But Meloshe said the homes along Colonel By are distinct from the rest of the neighbourhood. “It struck us as interesting that the properties along Colonel By are different in terms of the character of the houses, the stateliness of the houses and the size of the properties,” she said.

Ridgemont, Rideau want to start a chain reaction Anti-bullying message focuses on positive change michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Fourteen years ago, a girl named Rachel Scott was sitting on the grass out front of her school when two boys approached her and shot her five times. She didn’t know it at the time, but her life and death would help create a positive chain reaction all the way to Ottawa. Scott died on the grass in front of Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. She was the first of 13 students killed during the massacre. A popular and friendly girl, Scott always reached out to other students and friends in need, but it was not until her death that her influence on her town, her country and now the world has spread all the way to the students at two schools in Ottawa. Before she died, Scott had written an essay on how people should treat other people. Her father found her writing and deciding to share it with the world, creating Rachel’s Challenge, a program about how to stop bullying. Ridgemont High School teacher, Toula Makris heard about the program and decided Scott’s message was important to share with her

students and the students at another local school, Rideau High School. “I thought it was a really important to bring this message to the kids,� Makris said. “And the kids have been so impacted by this presentation.�

“For most students Columbine is a big shock, they were babies when it happened. But it’s a story about a real person and that is what I think resonates with them.� KRISTY KRINGS RACHEL’S CHALLENGE

Kristy Krings of Rachel’s Challenge came to both schools during the week of May 13 to tell Scott’s story and to present the anti-bullying program. “Right now in your schools, in your community, there are people who are going through things and a simple act of kindness can change that,� Krings said. The program is about five challenges: change how you feel about others, dream big and write down those dreams, choose positive influences, speak with kindness, and re-

counselor, Wendy Lamble, the students reacted well to the challenges. “Students you wouldn’t think would even care were emotional and wiping away tears throughout the assembly,� Makris said. Between the two schools 200 students participated in the program and workshops. Krings said she couldn’t believe how enthusiastic and how much the students at the school embraced the challenges. “I have rarely felt so welcome, but this community has

Chapel of love Metcalfe couple opens wedding chapel in Kenmore Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - The old red brick church on Kenmore’s main street is a young bride’s dream: a plain but pretty steeple reaches into the sky, antique stained glass fills the windows and a big set of double doors lead to the sanctuary and her waiting husband beyond. Inside, three rows of pews fill the heritage sanctuary and form a semi-circle around the simple altar. Soft, coloured light sifts in from all sides. It’s a sanctuary in the truest sense of the word: open to people of any cultural background, spiritual belief or family situation. Until last spring, the church was home to a Baptist congregation, which due to dwindling attendance had to sell the building and disperse to nearby congregations.

Bev and Casey McKibbon, a husband and wife duo who own the All Seasons Weddings officiant service, bought the building in May 2012. With the deed in hand, the McKibbons set to work turning the Baptist church into an intimate interfaith wedding chapel. They spent $200,000 restoring the church over the summer. With the help of contractors, they refinished the sanctuary’s original hardwood floors, pews and wood accents. They painted all the walls and renovated the church basement into offices and a meeting area. Next summer, they hope to landscape the church’s large yard to provide outdoor reception and ceremony space. Already the chapel has held seven weddings since it officially opened in November, and another eight are booked

Emma Jackson/Metroland

Casey and Bev McKibbon bought a small Baptist church in Kenmore last May and have spent the last year turning it into an interfaith wedding chapel. for the spring and summer. CHAPEL OF LOVE

Casey McKibbon was a United Church minister for 25 years before he started All Seasons Weddings with his wife 15 years ago. But even before he was in the wedding business, he felt an accessible chapel for people of every faith - or lack thereof - was needed. “I had this idea 40, 50 years ago and I was so busy in the church that I didn’t do it,” he

said. “When I took early retirement it came back to me.” He said many young couples can’t get married in the church of their dreams without first being a member of the congregation. That can be problematic if the couple is not religious or has different religious backgrounds. Pressure mounts when family members insist on a traditional wedding. “There are all kinds of spiritual people out there who aren’t connected to the church,” Bev added. The chapel is open to all cultures and faiths, and in-

cludes an All Seasons officiant of the couple’s choice to perform the ceremony. The couple has complete control over the ceremony, and can suit any cultural or religious need. Metcalfe resident John Learn and his wife Darlene renewed their vows at the chapel on Easter weekend. The couple had married in Thailand 16 years ago, but had never had a formal ceremony or celebration with family. He said the chapel was a perfect solution. “It’s absolutely magnificent,” he said. “We just liked the facility itself and we want-

ed to have an intimate kind of experience. It wasn’t a statement for or against religion.” Their children, Grace and Evan, Learn’s father and Darlene’s mother were all involved in the ceremony. “They serve a pretty broad constituency, from Buddhist to having your mom and dad help marry you,” he said. “As we are not members of a local church congregation; using the All Seasons chapel offered a traditional church setting for the service. It’s a very nice use for an old Baptist church.” For more information visit Ottawacountrychapel.ca.

Dessert fundraiser a hit for St. Mary’s Home EMC news - St. Mary’s Home has young women approach them every day for help, as they house at-risk pregnant girls and young women. But it’s rare that someone approaches St. Mary’s Home to try and help them, said executive director Nancy MacNider. But Desserts of the World Festival organizers contacted them to say that they wanted the Orléans event, which was held May 8, to be a fundraiser for the non-profit organization. “Nobody’s ever done this for us before,” MacNider such. “This is such a gift.” The festival brought together bakeries, dessert shops and embassies to put out a massive spread of desserts, ranging from Malaysian pastries to dozens of brightly decorated cupcakes, all at the Shankman Arts Centre. The total amount raised won’t be announced until June 11 at St. Mary’s Home, but organizer Serge Bijimine said they hope to be able to donate at least $5,000. MacNider said the donation will go towards the general operating budget for the home and outreach centre. The home, located on de L’Eglise Street in Vanier, houses up to 15 pregnant women or new mothers between the ages of 12 and 24 at any given time,

and up to seven newborn babies. “Usually it’s a pretty hopeless situation,” said MacNider of the women who arrive, most of whom don’t have a permanent home or place to take their baby after birth. The new moms and babies can stay at the home until the babies are seven months old. The home also operates an outreach centre, two blocks away, for any young pregnant woman or new mom, not just those in high-risk environments. At the outreach centre, the women work towards high school credits – but with a pre-natal focus. The English writing assignment may be about a baby’s development, or a public speaking assignment about nutrition. The June 11 event, where Desserts of the World will present the cheque, will coincide with the women’s high school graduation. Every year, 450 different women – or young fathers, who are offered a special program at the outreach centre – pass through St. Mary’s. Ottawa Public Health teaches pre-natal classes, and offers a weekly clinic. It’s a safe environment for a young, pregnant woman, instead of being forced to take pre-natal classes with married couples thrilled to be expecting. “Then they just feel like a fifth wheel,” MacNider said. “You can feel like your whole world is coming to an end.”

Shenkman Arts Centre was packed on May 8 for the Desserts of the World Festival, a fundraiser for St. Mary’s Home, a haven for young pregnant women and new mothers. Having the program and residential home means that more babies are born into safe environments, where their mothers are supported by both their peers and a group of professionals to coach them through any new parent nerves. The organization gets funding from the provincial Ministry of Children and Youth, the city and United Way

but hasn’t had many public campaigns or fundraisers, despite celebrating its 80th anniversary last week. “It was really a place people came to hide, so we were hidden as an organization,” MacNider said. Festival spokesperson Marie-Joelle LeBlanc said the event was a good fit because the proximity to Mother’s Day.

“It’s all about life and culture, so we thought it was a good mix,” she said. Mayor Jim Watson spoke at the event, which also featured live music and a cupcake decorating contest. Desserts of the World sold 700 tickets to the event and hope to run the event annually – and continue to support St. Mary’s.

Baking program teaches youth with disabilities to cook Staff

EMC news - A new baking program at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer is providing an opportunity to children with developmental disabilities to acquire cooking skills. The program is a partnership between Prisms Options Programs, a not-for-profit parent group that tries to provide quality programs for children including teens and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities from the west end of the city of Ottawa, and Brown’s YIG. The baking program has been developed so that children with developmental disabilities can partake in such a program that is suited to their special needs. Being partnered with Sandra Brown of Brown’s YIG is a great advantage as she is not only a skilled and competent instructor who is sensitive to the needs of these special needs children but she also holds a developmental social worker’s degree, so she knows how such a program should be

arranged. The baking program is well organized and structured so that all the participants have the opportunity of practicing skills like measuring, pouring, mixing, stirring, spreading and cutting. They also learn how to separate eggs and use electric mixers. From the time that the participants arrive at one of these sessions in the upstairs cooking room at Brown’s YIG to the time that they leave, they are kept busy and involved with their baking creations. When they pause for a snack, it is to sample baked goods similar to what their own baked item will be like when they take it home after its time in the oven there. The cost for these baking program sessions is only $10 per person plus HST. For dates and to pre-register, interested parents should contact Simy Illouze at logme@rogers.com or should visit the Prisms Options Programs website at prismsoptions.wix. com/home.

KT Kids production of The Little Mermaid Jr to make a splash john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Julia Mercer, centre, as Flounder, points out something to her companions, Alexis Wormald, left, and Portia Garnon-Williams in a scene from the musical ‘The Little Mermaid Jr.’ presented by the Kanata Theatre’s KT Kids program on June 7 and 8. She calls it the best costume that she has ever worn, even including her Halloween costumes. Julia is particularly looking forward to singing the song “She’s in Love” in the play, as it not only is a really fun song in her view but also because she is basically the star of the show for this one song. Ten year old Alexis Wormald of Carp, who is involved with her third KT Kids production with this musical, plays the roles of a sea horse and also one of the princesses in this play. She admits that as a sea horse, she has no lines but she still likes the role. “It’s a small role but it’s still fun,” Alexis says. She likes being involved with the KT Kids theatre because of all the cool characters that an actor can be in the productions. She also likes attending the rehearsals and talking with the friends that she has made in the group. She says that “The Little Mermaid Jr.” has a lot of songs in it and since she likes singing, that’s good. She also feels that it will be a play that everyone will like. Director Andrew Williams, who had a hand in starting the KT Kids

theatre group a number of years ago to provide youngsters with the opportunity to perform on stage, has seen KT Kids grow over the years, with the current cast involving 36 youngsters. He says that “The Little Mermaid Jr.” is a Disney classic full of singing and dancing, noting that this junior edition does a great job of capturing the best moments in the Disney film, complete with a great evil villain, a heroine and a prince. Mr. Williams says that a big challenge in producing theatre involving children is simply getting all of the cast members out to the weekly rehearsals due to conflict with other obligations for the youngsters. But he says that when all of the cast does get together, what they do is simply amazing. Mr. Williams particularly likes to see the positive feedback and praise which the young actors receive when in costume, they mingle with the audience following a performance. They hear in one-on-one situations from audience members just what a great job they have done in the play. This gives Mr. Williams lots of satisfaction, just like he gets when he performs himself on stage. He says that staging a play is a

maid willing to give up her life in the sea and her identity as a mermaid to gain a human soul and the love of a human prince. It was first published in 1837. Stittsville actors in “The Little Mermaid Jr.” include Caroline Hogan as Allana, Cassie Harrison as Ursula, Emilie Cote as a princess, Kiara Cote as a sailor, Mackenzie Corson as a princess and Shannon McIlquham as Atina. Carp actors in the musical include Alexis Wormald as a princess and sea horse and Grace Hibbert as Aquata. Kanata actors in “The Little Mermaid Jr.” include Abbey Flockton as Ariel, Allison Adams as a princess, Audrey Sylvain as a chef, Christian Garnon-Williams as King Triton, Daniel Williams as a member of the sea chorus, David Francis as Prince Eric, Ella Schmidtlein as Scuttle, Elliott Flockton as a sailor, Emma Clarke as Sebastian, Emily Patton as Carlotta, Evan Holland as a chef, Genna Sylvain as Arista, Jackie Kormylo as a princess, Jaden Paget as a chef, Jared Wagner as Chef Pierre, Jenny McCraken as Jetsam, Jonathan Francis as Pilot, Julia Mercer as Flounder, Julie Adams as Chef Louis, Kaitlin Williams as a member of the sea chorus, Laura Vanwyngarden as Grimsby, Malcolm McCraken as a chef, Portia Garnon-Williams as a princess, Rhiannon Henkelmen as Adella, Saylor Frost as Andrina, Sean Patton as a chef, Tatianna Bleakley as Flotsam and Tristan Williams as a sailor.

EMC news - Three dozen youngsters from Kanata, Stittsville and Carp are getting the opportunity to experience the world of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid Jr.” thanks to an upcoming Kanata Theatre KT Kids production. The musical, adapted from Disney’s 2008 Broadway production which in turn was a stage version of the earlier 1989 Disney animated film “The Little Mermaid,” is being presented at the Ron Maslin Theatre in Kanata on Friday, June 7 at 7 p.m. and again on Saturday, June 8 at both 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Among those in the cast for this musical is 12 year old Shannon McIlquham of Stittsville who plays the role of Atina, one of the Little Mermaid’s sisters. She is becoming a veteran of KT Kids productions, having appeared in three previous ones, including a major role in the recent “Beauty and the Beast.” She admits that she does not have a lot of lines in this current production but she only sees that as fair since she played such a major role in a previous KT Kids production. But besides her role as Atina, Shannon is the understudy to Ariel, the leading princess role in the musical, played by 13 year old Abbey Flockton of Kanata. This means that she has to know all of Ariel’s lines, songs and stage blocking. Shannon says that this is a lot of work but is worth it since, as she says simply, she enjoys acting, especially with the KT Kids theatre where she finds everyone really welcoming and where she has made some really good friends. Shannon says that she likes acting because it allows her to be a different person from who she usually is and she gets to experience the fun involved in learning different accents. She explains that as the rehearsals continue, an actor learns more about his or her character and how that character would react to a situation. “They are basically like an alter ego to you,” she says about the character being portrayed on stage. Shannon is involved with “The Little Mermaid Jr.” not only as an actor but also behind the scenes, as she is helping with the box office and subscription renewals. She enjoys this as well as she gets to meet new people and talk with them. She notes that the mermaid costumes are awesome for this play, praising the KT Kids theatre costume designers for their amazing work, always coming up with costumes that best portray the roles of the actors involved. Julia Mercer, 11, of Kanata is in her fourth KT Kids production, admitting to a love of singing and dancing. Her role as the Flounder is her first major role in a KT Kids production and involves her being in a lot of scenes. But thanks to her mother’s urging, she quickly learned her lines, being the first member of the cast to be able to abandon the book with the lines in it. She loves her Flounder costume, which is yellow with blue patches.

team effort which provides a lot of satisfaction when everyone pulls together. A KT Kids production gives these young actors the opportunity to experience this feeling, Mr. Williams says. The Kanata Theatre KT Kids presents “The Little Mermaid Jr.” at the Ron Maslin Theatre in Kanata on Friday, June 7 at 7 p.m. and on Saturday, June 8 at both 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. tickets are only $5 each but those planning to attend should take prompt action as many of the tickets have already bee sold, especially for the Saturday performances. To order tickets, call the Kanata Theatre box office at 613-831-4435. More information is available on the Kanata Theatre website at kanatatheatre,com. This production of “The Little Mermaid Jr.” features a number of hit songs from the original Broadway production including “Part of Your World,” “She’s in Love,” and the Oscar winning “Under the Sea.” The play is centered in a magical kingdom fathoms below the sea where a beautiful young mermaid Ariel longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above. This means that she will have to defy her father, King Triton and also make a deal with the evil sea witch Ursula. She also has to convince Prince Eric that she is the girl with the enchanting voice. This production and the Disney productions are based on the well known fairy tale by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen called “The Little Mermaid” about a young mer-

Lowertown residents protest the demolition of heritage homes on Sussex Drive last fall. After calling on the National Capital Commission and the city to save the homes, officials have decided the best option is to spend more than a million dollars to move the homes farther back on the lot so the road can be widened. … will incorporate the on site relocation of the buildings at 273 and 275-279 Sussex Dr. The city and NCC staff will be coming forward with an application to secure the required approvals to do so,” the email reads. Aubin said the news is a “bittersweet victory” because the community fought hard for almost two years to save the homes. The NCC and city wasted a lot of time and resources before coming to a solution the community asked for all along, Aubin said. Last fall, heritage advocates questioned why the city and NCC didn’t recommend the option of moving the homes. The NCC’s project manager, Richard Daigneault, said that option was considered, but removing the buildings wouldn’t have a significant enough impact to warrant the cost. The cost to move the buildings was estimated at about $1.15 million. The NCC argued the rents charged to tenants in the buildings were not high enough to recoup that cost within a reasonable timeframe. The city and NCC will share the cost, but Fleury said the city will likely pay the majority of the cost to move the homes since the road widening is a city-initiated project. Last fall, the transportation committee approved the $30 million road project, which includes adding bicycle lanes in both directions and widening the sidewalks by up to three metres. City staff said the construction project is needed to straighten out the curve and improve the road’s safety for both

EMC news - A previously dismissed plan to move a clutch of heritage homes along Sussex Drive in order to save them from being demolished as part of a road widening is back on the books. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury confirmed the city is in talks with the National Capital Commission to move two homes and rowhouse along a curved section of Sussex between Cathcart and Bolton streets back away from the road to ensure they won’t have to be demolished when the road is widened over the next two years. The city’s planning committee shocked even heritage advocates last October by unanimously rejecting a plan to demolish two heritage homes on Sussex Drive. The houses, one of which was home to former governor general Adrianne Clarkson during her childhood, were proposed to be demolished as part of a project to widen the road into a boulevard to complete the NCC’s Mile of History section of the ceremonial Confederation Boulevard. The plan to move the homes, which was previously rejected as too expensive, was kept under wraps until the NCC began informing tenants living in the three affected homes, Fleury said. “Even I’m in a bit of the dark on it,” he said. Fleury said he asked to been briefed on the plans after he heard about it from residents and it is his understanding that the NCC will make an application to the city’s planning committee to move the homes farther back on the lot, away from the street. Members of the Lowertown Community Association were frustrated by the lack of information during a meeting on May 13. Deputy city manager Nancy Schepers and a group of city officials met with Aubin on May 16 to update him on the plans. The city has committed to holding a special community meeting about local infrastructure projects – including Sussex – as soon as possible, Fleury said. The plan is to present the proposal to move the homes to the built heritage subcommittee on June 13 and planning committee on June 25, according to Fleury. An emailed statement from city spokesperson Andrea Ruttan that was attributed to building and construction manager Ziad Ghadban said the city and NCC are working together to finalize the road’s design. “The design and construction approaches

motorist and cyclists. But that reasoning did resonate with members of the city’s planning committee, who roundly rejected the plan and called on staff and the NCC to come up with a more creative solution. Council also rejected the demolition on Oct. 24, 2012. At the time, Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs was the most passionate councillor to argue against the demolitions. She decried a plan to mark Canada’s history that requires the demolition of home representing a compelling national story: a young refugee girl who would eventually move down the street to Rideau Hall to serve as our head of state. “Who is drinking whose Kool-Aid?” she asked. Last fall, Heritage Ottawa president Leslie Maitland said retaining the homes, especially 277 Sussex Dr., would “speak eloquently to the humble roots of our country.” “The history of Ottawa is more than embassies,” she said. A spokesman for the NCC declined to talk about a potential plan to move its homes and deferred questions to the city. “We are working together on this,” said NCC spokesman Jean Wolff. “At this point, the planning stage, there is no point in talking about the homes in particular.” The project will go to tender by the end of May and construction should begin this summer and continue through next year.

This is an opportunity to contribute your ideas and opinions.

KANATA TOWN CENTRE LANDS – Meeting June 11, 7 P.M., All Saints Catholic High School FILE

In the 1990’s, the City of Kanata purchased land along Kanata Avenue for a natural park and development. The 25 acre park was partially funded by donations and is protected as parkland. The remainder of the property has been transferred to the Community Lands Board (on which I serve as Vice Chair) to prepare and implement a development plan. Kanata had developed initial plans which included a road crossing the ridge. Due to costs, the City of Ottawa is now planning to remove that road from these plans and make other changes. Our public meeting, in the gym at All Saints, will outline some ideas for development on the KTC lands and get input from the community prior to creating a final plan. This is your opportunity to help design the future of these lands.

A proposal for an ATV club to maintain a trail network on unopened road allowances in Osgoode, seen here, will likely set the stage for something similar in his ward, said West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry. dent Penny MacDonald. She was concerned about a reduction in property values. One problem Blanchfield Road resident Heather Hamilton had with the proposal was the amount of dust she expects it would create. Blanchfield is already disproportionately dusty even for a rural road, residents and Thompson agreed, and Hamilton and others worried that dust clouds kicked up by ATVs would reduce visibility and impede safety. Another Blanchfield resident, April Duncan, said her family uses ATVs but they oppose the trail network. She was also worried about dust, but she was also concerned that advertising an ATV trail would attract inconsiderate riders who are not club members, like the ones who frequently use and damage her property. Almost everyone agreed that the trail network wouldn’t do much about catching people who use ATVs

illegally. “You’re not going to catch the ones who aren’t behaving,” said Linda LaFrambroise. Resident Jeff Parsons said he supports the creation of an ATV trail network but wondered how many people would be using it. The Nation Valley club currently has 175 members. Gough said the club is hoping to expand once it has a legal trail network to use inside the city. If the network were to be implemented, ATV club members would be on call 24/7 to respond to concerns from neighbours. Enforcement is conducted by the Ottawa police marine, dive and trails unit. The study also uncovered several instances of property owners encroaching onto the city road allowances. The city will be negotiating with those neighbours to remove the encroachments or enter into agreements to allow some use of the road allowances.

EMC news - News of a proposed ATV trail network that skirts along their road came as a surprise to some Osgoode residents. The network would use 23.1 kilometres of unopened city road allowances through Osgoode, but it would also require allowing all-terrain vehicles to ride along the shoulders of 8.3 km of roads. The Nation Valley ATV Club operates a trail network in a similar manner in North Grenville and North Dundas and would maintain the trails inside the City of Ottawa. Only club members would be permitted to use the trails and ATVs could only run during daytime hours. The idea is to create a trail “backbone,” which would hopefully be supplemented by trails through private property over time through agreements with owners, said Kris Gough, a member of the ATV club who has taken the lead on the project. City staff was originally reluctant to support the idea, said Derrick Moodie, rural development review manager, but he’s now “a lot more comfortable” with the idea, he said. Osgoode residents, on the other hand, felt differently. Around 10 of them came to Carp to speak to the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee on May 6 to ask the committee to delay a vote on a two-year trial period for the network. Six of seven residents of Blanchfield Road in particular were not impressed with the plans – nor the lack of notice. Affected residents were mailed letters two weeks before the committee meeting, but the network has been in the works for two years. Gough said he did everything in his power to get the word out, from hosting public meetings to communicating through Coun. Doug Thompson’s newsletters and speaking to the media. “It was never our intention to come into the community and cause controversy,” Gough said. “We would like to stay as far away from roads as possible.” Before the meeting even got underway, Thompson committed to finding a way to bypass Blanchfield Road through discussions with a couple of representatives for affected residents, as well as the ATV club. Gough is hoping a better alliance with community members will give the ATV club a way to connect and negotiate with property owners whose land could be used to bypass roads like Blanchfield. Comfortable with that compromise, the committee approved recommending the trail network pilot project to council. There will be ample time to discuss a Blanchfield detour because the item won’t go to council until June 12. “You have taken a lot of the wind out of my sails, and I thank you very much for that,” said Blanchfield resi-

‘She gave her sister 29 years of life’: doctor AGM brings donor, doctor together for kidney transplant anniversary emma.jackson@metroland.com

When Kidney Foundation staff chose May 14 to hold the Eastern Ontario chapter’s annual general meeting, they didn’t know they were marking the 55th anniversary of the first kidney transplant in the Commonwealth. But when several key players from the historic surgery started to show up at Southminster United Church to take part in the meeting, a buzz began to grow. Dr. John Dossetor, a Canadian physician and kidney expert who coordinated that first transplant from McGill University in Montreal, attended the meeting with his wife. He was joined by Kanata resident Nola Johnson, who donated her kidney to her twin sister Moira on May 14, 1958 when she was just 15 years old – making Canadian and kidney research history. “It’s strange that this (coincidence) would happen,� Johnson said. “When May 14th comes around I think about it but we don’t mark it.� Moira became ill in March, and Dossetor knew she was experiencing renal failure. At the time, transplants could only be done between identical twins - and it was only by chance that the girls’ mother mentioned Moira did indeed have a twin. “We had to test to prove we were identical,� remembered Johnson, who volunteered her kidney as soon as she knew a transplant was a possibility. “It was just a week before they deter-

mined there could be an operation.� But it wasn’t so simple. Because the girls were minors, they had to face a family court judge to determine if they were able to consent to donate and receive kidneys. By the time the judge had given his approval, it was May. Though the operation had never been done in Canada or anywhere else in the Commonwealth, Johnson said her mother didn’t want to go to the United States where the doctors had more experience. “She had faith in the doctors,� Johnson said. With good reason. The transplant was successful, and Moira lived for 29 years with Johnson’s kidney. “It worked out quite well,� Dossetor said. “She gave her sister 29 years of life.� Since the sisters shared so many genes, Johnson’s donated kidney eventually became diseased, and Moira was on dialysis for several years before she died from breast cancer in 1987. Johnson also has kidney disease in her remaining kidney, but is not yet on dialysis. Still, Johnson said she’s aware how remarkable her story still is 55 years later. “We knew it was important,� she said. EARLY PREVENTION

dal, who spoke at the AGM. It was the first time the foundation invited several speakers to address current issues in the field. Jindal spoke passionately about the need for prevention at a very young age, before any risk factors for kidney disease have even set in. “We should not be talking about organ failure, because it’s too late,� he told the audience of about 40 people. “We should be talking about vascular health, which is the common link.� Jindal said genes and factors like gender and ethnicity play a minor role in kidney disease. While the genes are there, it’s our lifestyle choices that cause them to develop kidney disease, he said. Avoiding unhealthy habits from the outset is crucial, Jindal said, and parents and educators must play a key role in making sure children are eating well, getting enough exercise and learning how to lead a healthy lifestyle in the future. When bad habits are allowed to continue, blood vessels are damaged and we don’t even know it, Jindal explained. The damage occurs across

the entire body. There are no tests to prove it, and as the damage gets worse it then starts to effect organs. By the time the organs are damaged, there is little we can do to reverse the problem, Jindal said. And the problem is getting worse. Kidney disease has tripled in recent years, Jindal said, and in Ottawa there are 200 new patients each year. About 1,000 Ottawa residents are on some sort of dialysis, and another 550 attend the hospital’s progressive renal insufficiency (PRI) clinic. Between 150 and 175 residents are waiting for a new kidney. Jindal said he would like to see a small pilot project in Ottawa that teaches families and educators what a healthy lifestyle actually looks like, and how to promote that with children. “Despite all our marketing, all our publicity, nothing is working,� Jindal said. “Maybe we have to take a different approach.� SUCCESS STORIES

Despite the new format, the foundation still found time to celebrate its volunteers and success stories from the past year. Manotick resident David Presley received an excellence award for his door-knocking campaign during the foundation’s annual March Drive. Presley’s wife Lyn accepted the award of his behalf, as David is currently recovering from his kidney transplant at the end of April. “Unfortunately he can’t be here, but fortunately he can’t be here,� Lyn quipped as she thanked fellow volunteers for their support as David recov-

ers. The Presleys waited five years for a kidney transplant, and the news of an available kidney came out of the blue on April 29 after a weekend at the Alive to Strive fundraising run in support of the foundation. He went into surgery about 12 hours later, and by early Tuesday morning was in recovery. “It has been a long five years leading up to this,� Lyn wrote in an email to her supporters that day. “Our thoughts and extreme gratitude is very much with the donor family who, in their time of grief made the decision to give life to others.� Stittsville teacher Marianne Graham was recognized for her “infectious enthusiasm� as she and her family raised $12,000 for the foundation at a community event last year. Graham donated her kidney to her husband Bill six years ago. Frank Fenn and Lucie Duguay from the Carlingwood Mall received the Rabbi Reuven P. Bulka award for an event they held at the west-end mall in February, where they signed up 300 new people to be organ donors. A former staff member had needed a kidney transplant, and Fenn and Duguay decided to support him with their fundraiser. Along with signing up 300 new donors, they also raised about $5,000 for the foundation. Linda and Marcel Moncion, who own the Your Independent Grocer in Riverside South, were also recognized for outstanding support of the foundation. Manotick News reporter Emma Jackson accepted an award for EMC Metroland’s ongoing coverage of organ donation issues.

EMC news - Canadians who do not have access to a retirement plan through their workplace (such as a defined benefit pension plan or a group RRSP) will soon have another, more convenient way to save with the introduction of Pooled Registered Pension Plans (PRPPs). A PRPP is a defined contribution pension system offered by regulated financial institutions such as banks and insurance companies. Employers simply “sign up” to a plan from a licensed provider. PRPPs will make it easier and more cost-effective for small and medium-sized employers to offer pension plans, and for the first time, it will give the selfemployed an option to participate in such plans. “It’s only a matter of fairness,” says Frank Swedlove, president of Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association (CLHIA). Why should only those working for governments and large corporations have access to pensions? With PRPPs, all working Canadians will benefit.” The federal government has now passed the legislation that puts the necessary framework in place for the provinces to move forward with establishing PRPPs for their own residents. So far, British Columbia has taken the lead and other provinces support the idea. Swedlove hopes that PRPP legislation will be in place across the country by the end of this year. The benefits are these: With PRPPs, you can start saving automatically and change how much you save from time to time. You can choose from a range of investment options or a default option specifically designed to provide prudent retirement savings. Contributions made from payroll deductions are simple and convenient and they avoid withholding tax that would apply to contributions to RRSPs. And since PRPPs combine the savings of large numbers of Canadians, the costs of managing these plans will be lower than traditional RRSPs. In effect, it will allow you to save at “wholesale” rates. Making saving for retirement simple and automatic is an easy way to “pay yourself first” and help ensure your retirement years are financially secure.

Ottawa & Area - If you're like most homebuyers, you have two primary considerations in mind when you start looking for a home. First, you want to find the home that perfectly meets your needs and desires, and secondly, you want to purchase this home for the lowest possible price.

While the negotiating skills of your agent are important, there are three additional key factors that must come into play long before you ever submit an offer. This topic has been the subject of extensive analysis by Industry Experts, and a summary of their findings, and a specific step-by-step purchase plan for homebuyers, can be found in a new special

EMC news - Grade 11 student Jenny Berndt said she never dreamed the design she entered into an annual Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario competition would be selected. “It’s really weird to have my picture everywhere,” said the Merivale High School student. The design, which features a bandaged young boy hugging the iconic CHEO bear, was the fifth to be selected from a Merivale student in the eight years the hospital has been

hosting the competition. The design was unveiled at the school on April 18. Everything from clothing to posters and even CHEO’s Bear Wear clothing line will feature Berndt’s graphic. Berndt said her inspiration came from her own experience. “I just thought about what I would want to see if I was in a hospital feeling sick,” she said. “What would make me feel better.” On top of the graphic contribution to the hospital’s annual fundraising campaign, the Nepean high school also donated $1,000 thanks to a loonie drive.

Fundraising begins for Ottawa hospital dermatology centre Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - After a long, bleak winter, many Ottawans are now content to bask in the warm rays of a bright sun. While vitamin D is a wonderful thing, each year many Canadians find themselves diagnosed with skin cancer, even those who take precautions and fall outside of the common age range for the affliction. The Ottawa Hospital is hoping to become a leader in treating the many forms of skin cancer by combining all dermatology services into one location at its Civic Campus. The hospital plans to establish a melanoma rapid diagnosis and management clinic, as well as a psoriasis systemic therapy clinic, in order to reduce wait times for patients. To realize this vision, the hospital is embarking on a $3 million fundraising campaign. It kicked off the initiative with a May 16 media tour of the Parkdale Clinic’s Mohs surgical unit, guided by doc-

tors Jim Walker and Jillian Macdonald of the Ottawa Hospital’s admittedly cramped dermatology unit. “With the new Dermatology Centre of Excellence, this area would be doubled in size,” said Walker, adding, “The lab would be doubled (in size) and we’d increased from three to five surgery rooms, and increase our operation from three days a week to five days a week.” Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson is serving as honorary campaign chairman for the initiative. His involvement stems from personal experience: Watson has twice been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer. The first diagnosis came, oddly enough, during a health exhibition at Queen’s Park while he was serving as an MPP. “I’m very appreciative of the fact my skin cancer was caught relatively soon, but sadly there are many people in our community that don’t have that early detection and

as a result are not as fortunate as I am,” said Watson. “We’re blessed in Ottawa to have some great physicians, great scientists and researchers, but we need more capacity. We know that with an aging population and a growing population, plus everything from the depletion of the ozone layer and its impact on skin, that the problem will get worse before it gets better.” Watson served as a test subject while Macdonald demonstrated a routine skin exam, where doctors look for suspicious cancerous or pre-cancerous lesions. Like all cancers, early detection ensures the best possible outcome for patients. Often thought of as a worry for middle aged people and the elderly, skin cancer is fickle and doesn’t follow rigid boundaries. Ottawa resident Jessica Trotto was on hand to relate her experience with skin cancer. Trotto, a self-described “country bumpkin” who loves the sun and was a past user of

Now 36, Trotto said she was shocked when the diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma

was handed down. While helpful physicians at the hospital guided her through the process, the month-and-a-half wait to rid her body of the cancer drew out her fear. “The wait is terrifying. I

would have nightmares of the skin cancer growing overnight,” said Trotto. “It’s imperative to reduce those wait times and get those people in as soon as possible.”

Newcomers gather at new Habitat for Humanity site Construction to start soon after groundbreaking ceremony Nevil Hunt

nevil.hunt@metroland.com

EMC news - Twigs, leaves and plywood provided the floor for a Habitat for Humanity groundbreaking ceremony on Nantes Street, but soon enough, lawns and carpeting will be underfoot. A wobbly table full of juice boxes was set up for the May 9 ceremony, and it too will be replaced, by three kitchen tables. Only the juice boxes are likely to stay the same – there are lots of kids moving in. Three families are expect-

ed to take possession of their new homes in as little as four months, with eight children among the new residents. “Thank you to all who, in one way or another, made this possible,” said Margarita Caceres, who will live in a new bungalow with her husband Salvador and their four children. Prior to the groundbreaking, speakers reiterated that the three families are receiving “a hand up, not a handout.” Each of the new homeowners is employed but earns a low income. They will pay off an interest-free mortgage and will also donate hundreds of hours of time to building the homes or to Habitat in other forms of volunteer work. Habitat then uses the repaid mortgages to carry out more home building. Donna Hicks, the CEO of Habitat for Humanity’s National Capital Region branch, said the Nantes Street houses will mean the Ottawa area will

Book explores history of the Carp Fair derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – After two long years of studying meeting minutes, stories from newspapers like the former Carp Review and Carleton County Advertiser, and other sources, the much anticipated book about the Carp Fair is finished. A joint project between the Carp Agricultural Society and the Huntley Township Historical Society, author Peg Blair is ambivalent now that Carp Fair: History in the Making is finished and for sale at the society’s office on Carp Road. “It feels good to have it finished,” Blair said, who also penned a history of the Carp Public School. “I had fun doing it.” She was careful to avoid contentious issues, and drew from known facts, but the result is an interesting read packed with information. After the foreward by historical society president George Wilson and fair presidents Matt Munro and Wendy Cox, and acknowledgements,

Blair talks about the first fair in the area that got started with the equivalent of $1,000 federal grant in the mid 1800s. However, the book was down as part of the fair’s 150th anniversary celebrations, culminating in late September with the annual fair. She clears up confusion over the date early on. “There is … the possibility that somewhere in the annals of fair board history there was a decision taken to split the difference between 1855 when the first fair was held and 1880 when the fair was reborn and use 1863 as the starting point for aging the fair,” she wrote, adding that the centennial was celebrated in 1963. Some readers may not realize that the fair wasn’t always in its current location. “The first fairs were not held at the existing fairgrounds but they were held nearby at the picnic grounds for Carp Village.” At some 95 pages, there is much to learn about the fair’s rich history. And much to look at. Blair

is pleased with how clearly the many photos turned out, along with the page design by Emma Caldwell and Ruth Kirkpatrick. Blair is proud to be part of the process, saying the fair means a lot to her and folks around her. “It’s hard to grow up here and not have a soft spot for it,” she said. “It was the biggest thing that happened around here as a kid.” She encourages everyone in the area to purchase a copy of the $20 book, saying their family might be in it or they might want to learn a little more about local history. It is also a fundraiser for the historical society. Some 400 copies are for sale.

Author Peg Blair holds a copy of the Carp Fair history book jointly published by the Carp Agricultural Society and the Huntley Township Historical Society. Derek Dunn/Metroland

Ottawa mother fights arthritis in Costa Rica Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland. com

EMC news - Barrhaven resident Charlene Knight is putting her plans in motion. Knight was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 10 years ago after the birth of her daughter Madeline Rossetti. “The pain to simply walk or drive and to dress or to pick Maddie up was more than I could bear on most days,” Knight said. The mother of two said she refused to be a victim. She participated in her first Joints in Motion event in 2011, by completing a half marathon on the Great Wall of China. The next year she did another half marathon in Lausanne, Switzerland. Over the course of two years, Knight managed to raise $30,000 for the Canadian Arthritis Society. This year is the biggest one yet, Knight said, because her children Dante, 9 and Madeline, 10, will be doing the 10-kilometre run with their mother. The trio has already started their training by walking the 2.5 km whenever they want to get a book at Chapters, but Knight said they plan to start seriously training in June. “The kids came with me to China and Switzerland, but they are beyond excited for this one because they will actually get to participate,” Knight said. Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of inflammation that causes the immune system to become confused and attack the body. The target of the attack is the lining of the joints and sometimes other internal organs – such as the lungs or heart. It causes swelling, pain, inflammation and joint destruction. Knight had her children close together because she wanted to be finished having children before ex-

perimenting with the right cocktail of anti-inflammatory and pain medication. After her son was born, Knight started weekly chemo injections which controlled her pain for a couple of years. Then the meds just stopped working. Now, Knight said she has found some new biologic drugs that has given her a new lease on life. “The medication suppresses my immune system so it doesn’t attack my joints, organs and eyes,” Knight said. The new medication and the support from the Canadian Arthritis Society are the reason she said she feels she has to give back. “I want to raise awareness about how debilitating arthritis can be,” Knight said. “I think that’s why my kids are so anxious to participate. They saw how it was when I was not doing so well and have seen the change with support and the right medication.” On top of running the marathons each year and raising $30,000, Knight became a provincial advisor to the Canadian Arthritis Society board of directors in 2012. “I will do all I can to help find a better future for myself and others who suffer from arthritis,” Knight said. Knight said she plans to raise $15,000 before she heads to Tamarindo Beach in Costa Rica on Sept. 18. She has already raised $4, 000. According the Arthritis Society, 4.5 million Canadians suffer from arthritis. More than 60,000 of those are children and 300,000 people suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. There are more than 100 types of the disease. To learn more about Knight’s journey or to donate to her campaign, visit jointsinmotion.kintera.org.

OTTAWA RACE WEEKEND

Halvorsen brings elite experiences to Ottawa Race Weekend steve.newman@metroland.com

EMC sports - Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend race director John Halvorsen knows everyone can’t be a worldclass runner, but the two-time Olympian still wants thousands of runners to have an elite experience during the May 25 and 26 extravaganza. And that’s a big deal, in more ways than one. After all, an Ottawa Race Weekend record 42,573 runners participated in 2012, making it Canada’s largest multi-distance race event. Injury and Achilles tendon surgery prevented Halvorsen’s qualification for a third Olympic Games in 1996, but he was an icon on the North American running scene in the 1980s and 1990s, after coming to Ottawa from his native Norway as a young teenager when his dad took a job at the Norwegian embassy. His parents have long since returned to Norway, but Halvorsen remains in the National Capital area despite retaining his Norwegian citizenship. When he first arrived here,

teachers at Sir Robert Borden High School allowed him to use a dictionary to find certain words, but his learning curve was quick and Canada soon became his new and comfortable home. He went on to earn his engineering degree and MBA at the University of Ottawa, and to win two Canadian club and five Canadian interuniversity cross-country championships, in addition to racing in the 1988 and 1992 Olympic Games. His best Olympic placing was 16th in the 10,000 metres in Seoul, while four years later he ran faster to place 19th in the same event in Barcelona, Spain. The 5-foot-8, 130-pound runner was also named Runner’s World male road racer of the year in 1989. Now about 170 pounds, the 46-year-old married father of three youngsters, ages 14, 12 and 10, remains physically active and connected to the sports community in the National Capital area. Living just across the Ottawa River in Kingsmere, Que., he coaches at the local Nakkertok cross-country ski club, skis, cycles and contin-

ues to run. “I had a good run at running for years, and it was a great experience,” says Halvorsen, though convinced he could have run faster. For 10,000 metres on the track, he ran a world-class time of 27 minutes 43 seconds. “I know I could have better times, because my best times were not when I was in top shape,” says Halvorsen. After working 18 years in Ottawa’s high-tech industry, primarily in marketing and product management, he became Tamarack Ottawa Race weekend’s new full-time race director in late January. FULL-TIME STAFF

Halvorsen works with five other full-time staff, the board of directors, a volunteer race committee and numerous other volunteers. The other full-time staff are communications director Susan Marsh, operations manager Joe DuVall, event manager Al Macartney and assistant operations manager Ryan Cameron. See RACE, page 56

OTTAWA RACE WEEKEND

Race weekend will generate $27 million in Ottawa region One of the part-time staffers is long-time race director Jim Robinson, who spearheaded the evolution of Ottawa Race Weekend into one of the most-talked-about running weekends in North America. “Honorary everything,” says Halvorsen of the retired Robinson, who now works as a part-time advisor for Ottawa Race Weekend. Halvorsen became involved with the organization in 1999 and went on to hold positions that include part-time race director and chairman of the Run Ottawa board of directors. No longer just about a marathon, as the event was when it began in the early 1970s, Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend is home to the marathon, half-marathon, 10K, 5K, 2K and kids 1K. The marathon will feature a record of more than 6,200 runners this year, but the 10K and half-marathon will each attract the biggest fields, of more than 11,000. Sponsorship plus entry fees create an annual Ottawa Race Weekend budget of $2.8 million, including $400,000 for

the elite racers. “Our primary focus, from a time and budget perspective, is organizing the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend because that’s the main event that draws the substantial portion of our revenues … but we also have other events,” says Halvorsen. The budget also accommodates organization of several Run Ottawa races during the year, including informal Beaver Chase trail runs, the Army Run which may attract more than 20,000 runners this September, the Jim Howe memorial, January’s Richmond road race, and Kanata’s Canada Day road races with 10K-, 5K-, 1.2K- and 100 metreraces. As race director, Halvorsen says he’s called on for leadership, accounting and general management. For this month’s race weekend, Halvorsen sees his role as providing more leadership and vision: “Obviously, we’ve been around for a long time, so we’re not talking about reinventing the wheel, but it’s messaging. Sponsorship is another huge role.” He also remains involved

with organizational details, like working with its supplier on course signs and structures. “We’re talking six-figure costs here, just for structures and signage,” says Halvorsen. Logistics, including those involving security, are also part of the pie. SECURITY

Security remains an important part of running the race weekend, a concern punctuated by last month’s bomb blasts at the Boston Marathon. “Our event now is public enough that we have to expect it’s possible, whether it’s an emergency of this nature (with bombs) or an emergency of lesser nature that still needs some thought process to deal with it,” says Halvorsen. For the first time, Ottawa Race Weekend officials and public responders will take part in a table-top emergency exercise, so people know how to respond if there’s an extreme emergency. “We’re probably unique in the sense that we have an onsite medical team that can address a ton of medical issues,” says Halvorsen.

GOOD NUTRITION FROM THE START™

That weekend team consists of 40 doctors and 150 nurses from the Ottawa Hospital. The event also features ski patrol members on bikes and roving patrols, who pick up runners in trouble and work in collaboration with Ottawa and Gatineau paramedics, firefighters and police. There will also be signs reminding Ottawa Race Weekend participants not to leave bags unattended. There may also be additional security at baggage checks. Meanwhile, The Tamarack Race Weekend staff continue to look for efficiencies in its operations. “We try to reuse, but we also try to improve. In the perfect world, we would do things different, but we don’t live in a perfect world,” says Halvorsen. “We can’t close any road we want because of traffic impact. Our approach is that we see where we’d like to be. We’ve seen what the main races are like, either with Jim (Robinson) travelling to them or my running experience, so we ask how we can get there. “An example is the marathon, which was a two-loop course for years. Both Jim and I knew no world-class marathon has a two-loop course, it just doesn’t happen, unless you’re talking the Olympics, and then it doesn’t matter because you’re only talking 60 runners. “Second of all, we have a city with a lot of tourist attractions. We are still the capital of Canada. We have a lot of national and regional monuments, whether it’s a war museum, the art gallery or Parliament Hill. So we said to ourselves, how can we make a course that incorporates as much of that as possible, still living in the context of traffic difficulties, construction, and all that kind of stuff.” BIG ECONOMIC IMPACT

That impact is similar to what the region has experienced for such prominent events as the Juno Awards and the National Hockey League All-Star Game. “Having reached that point now, and having city and NCC (National Capital Commission) officials understand that, has been helpful for obvious reasons. The support we get now (from the city) is quite good,” says Halvorsen. “There are still some challenges once in a while, but that’s nothing unusual. “Our biggest beef (is the lack of) government grants,” adds Halvorsen. “We’re either classified as a charity, which we are not, or as a sporting event, which apparently doesn’t “get any funding, unlike other festivals that are arts-related that get funding. We’ve almost yet to receive anything.” Meanwhile, Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend can boast about being home to the largest running expo event in Canada, with more than 100 vendors for the Thursday-

through-Saturday event. On the pavement, the race schedule Saturday has the 2k at 4 p.m., 5K at 5 p.m., and 10K at around 6:30 p.m. Sunday is home to the marathon (the only Ottawa Race Weekend event with more male entrants), kids marathon (in which participants run their marathon’s last kilometre after doing the equivalent of 41 kilometres of exercise) and half-marathon. Those start times are 7, 8 and 9 a.m. respectively. Halvorsen loves to watch the competitive elite races, but he says many non-elites also play a special role in race weekend. For example, the race director says it’s emotional seeing average runners so excited while finishing their first marathon or half-marathon, with friends and other spectators on hand. “The emotion at the finish line can be huge,” says Halvorsen. “It’s rewarding to know you played a role in that, and they’re excited and happy to do the event that you created.”

OTTAWA RACE WEEKEND

Elite runners in it to win Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC sports - Every year at the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend, thousands of runners pack the start area, anxious to run a five or 10 kilometre race, many with just the goal of completing the event. Leah Larocque isn’t one of them. Last year, her aim wasn’t just to finish, or place in the top half of the runners. Laroque wanted to win - a goal she accomplished, running five kilometres in under 18 minutes. Her final time was 17 minutes, 36 seconds. The race weekend average time for the five kilometre event was 35 minutes and 10 seconds. This year, Larocque and her training partner, Liz Maguire, a former marathoner, are going to tackle the 10-kilometre race, aiming to run in the 37 to 38 minute range. Aiming for a specific time – and a competitive one – means pacing yourself, said Larocque and Maguire. Larocque, 24, runs a shorter distance, the five kilometre race, so she has to make sure she doesn’t go too fast and run out of energy. Maguire, 46, is used to running longer distances, so she has to make sure she uses all the gas in her tank and doesn’t save too much energy. “For a five, I just go. Go fast, and hold it,” Larocque said. Maguire said the most common mistake of less experienced runners is they start too fast, and can’t keep the pace for the majority of the race. Larocque said many runners also skip the warm up, and head straight to the start line. ELITE

The start line experience is different for these two Ottawa runners because they are in the elite category.

Manny Rodrigues, elite athlete coordinator for the Ottawa Race Weekend, said he’s set to have about 120 elite athletes competing between the 10 kilometre race and the marathon. “It’s a very different mentality,” he said. “The people in the back are happy to compete. The people in the front are looking for a specific time or position. They make their money this way – it’s their bread and butter.” Rodrigues accommodates Ottawa’s top athletes into the elite category, but also recruits runners from all across the world, dealing with both applications and the agents of the athletes he’s trying to recruit. Top runners aren’t just competing for a chance at prize money, but are paid to come to Ottawa and compete. “Someone like Geoffrey Mutai, who was IAAF runner of the year – so the guy’s number one in the world for road racing – if you don’t pay him well, he’s not coming,” Rodrigues said. “For the recreational athlete to be involved in a race that has elite athletes, it has a lot more hype, it has a lot more news stories, a lot more crowds.” Mutai, a Kenyan, will be back again this year competing in the 10 kilometre race, alongside a handful of international runners, who are all capable of running the race in under 28 minutes. Larocque and Maguire aren’t getting paid the big bucks to run in the race, but the elite status will be an improvement, especially for Larocque because the five-kilometre race doesn’t have an elite start area. Elite runners start ahead of the rest of the pack. This prevents them from getting stuck behind a crowd of runners going at a significantly slower pace in a race where seconds lost can quickly add up. They also pick up race kits in different areas so they don’t need to deal with crowds. Rodrigues started lining up ath-

letes months ago, as top elite runners will only do two or three marathons a year. He’s also accommodating the majority of Canada’s top marathoners, as the race weekend also acts as the marathon national championship. TRAINING

While many recreation runners will slowly work up to their race distance, running the full distance only on race day, competitive runners are running that, if not longer, on a regular basis. Elite marathon runners can log upwards of 200 kilometres a week, Rodriques said, which can work out to about five marathons a week. Maguire and Larocque run 16 to 18 kilometres for their long runs, with two or three interval running workouts mixed in through the week, and biking and swimming for cross training. The week of the race, the routine stays pretty close to normal, with a shorter long run and easier intervals. The international elite runners arrive a couple of days before the event, enough time to acclimatize, but not enough to lose the benefits of altitude training if it’s part of their routine. Rodriques said the competitive runners are a lot more focused on BRIER DODGE/METROLAND nutrition, monitoring everything that Liz Maguire, left, and Leah Laroque are in training to run the 10goes into their bodies, the rest before kilometre race at the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend. the race, and getting in a good warm Maguire said she sticks with what up prior to the race.

fluids. START LINE

The one time that a snack or sports drink could be useful at the Ottawa Race Weekend is in the start line area, she said. Because there are so many runners at the weekend races, it’s common to be waiting for some time at the start line. “The stress and excitement and anxiety can burn up some of your energy,” she said. “So it is important while you’re waiting to start the race to keep the blood sugar, some people have a little snack.” But for long distance runners, nutrition can be key, and training the stom-

ach can take years to get just right. There’s reduced blood flow to the gut during a marathon, and it needs to be trained to process fluids and nutrients. “That’s why we say it can take up to 15 years to build a good distance runner, and that’s just getting your gut ready,” she said. The most successful runners are the ones who already have good, consistent eating patterns and don’t have to modify their diets. And the more distance runners are covering, the more important nutrition is. “When you’re trying to train five days a week for a good six month period, your diet can take you from being average to actually a much better result,” Mansfield said.

EMC sports - Running is all about pacing and routine, and nutrition is no different. When it comes to race day “nothing should really be changing,” said Dr. Beth Mansfield, a registered dietician and exercise physiologist. Diets should be consistent, determined during training around both long runs, and high intensity interval runs. A distance runner’s diet is rich in carbohydrates with rice, legumes, chickpeas, kidney beans, vegetables and small amounts of animal-protein rich foods, Mansfield said. A common mistake with recreational runners is adopting the atti-

tude they can eat whatever they want following a shorter run. “They start pounding back too much bread, cookies, gels,” Mansfield said. “Sometimes the attitude is, ‘I just did a long run, so I’m going to go to Starbucks and get a Frappuccino and cookie.’” The gels and sports drinks that distance runners in the marathon use aren’t worth it for shorter distance runners. The energy demands aren’t enough to require the same mid-race nutritional boost marathon runners need. The moderation rule goes for fluids too. Mansfield recommends only drinking when you’re thirsty, and not forcing yourself into drinking excess

OTTAWA RACE WEEKEND

Drumming group to keep beat on race weekend Heritage hands Ottawa Drum Club to perform on May 24 Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland

EMC sports - While some onlookers might only see marathon racers stretching their limbs before the big race, there will be a group of nine men also stretching in preparation for a different kind of marathon. During the Ottawa Race Weekend marathon, the Heritage Hands Ottawa Drum Club will be performing for a total of four hours on May 24 to encourage the more than 10,000 racers across the finish line. “We will be drumming until every last runner or straggler has crossed the line,” said Michel Monette, co-founder of the club. “We won’t leave until everyone else is gone.” Monette and longtime friend Charles St-Jean have been drumming most of their lives, starting together in the De La Salle Cadets when the two were only 15 years-old and lived next to each other in Lowertown.

In 1998, St-Jean brought some of the old drummers together for a reunion and since that meeting the group has been playing at shows and for fun in the Ottawa area. “It’s passion and friendship that keep us together,” St-Jean said. The group average age is 60, which the men joke is why they will be stretching too before the marathon. “It’s physically demanding,” said Armand Vienneau, a drummer in the group. “It can take a lot out of you.” The group performs both old historic military rhythms and new songs they composed together. The only drumming club of its kind in Ottawa, members from all across the city come to play with the group. Passionate about drumming, the club members say they perform more for the enjoyment than for money these days, taking gigs where they can get them. “It’s the rush,” Monette said. The group used to play be-

fore football games at Lansdowne Park and said they loved performing in front large crowds, but say their most enjoyable audience members are children. “They just surround us when we play,” Vienneau said. Even though there are nine members in the group, the men say they are always looking for more experienced drummers to join. “We are not getting any younger,” St-Jean said. The troop will be performing by the War Museum from 7 to 11 a.m. on May 24. For more information about the group, visit www. heritagehandsottawa.ca.

Ottawa’s funkiest five-kilometre event open for registration Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC sports - There are no cupcakes along the race route, but there will be cake at the finish line of the CycleLogik Hintonburg Centennial 5K Run/Walk. Billed as “Ottawa’s funkiest 5K” by the Hintonburg Community Association, the event has been gaining participants since starting in 2007.

Scheduled for July 14, the 5K begins and ends in Parkdale Park and uses the narrow streets of Hintonburg as its route, weaving from Parkdale Avenue to Bayview Road and back again. Registration for the run opened last week and can be accessed by visiting hintonburg.com. Association president Jeff Leiper said the urban character of the race route gives the Hintonburg 5K its distinct ap-

peal. “It uses back streets behind Wellington, like Spencer and Ladouceur,” said Leiper. “The independent races tend to have something a little special about them. “The geography of this race has lots of appeal – you run through some really interesting urban neighbourhoods.” The flat course has lots of turns, he said, adding the run often returns some of the faster 5K times in Ottawa. When the run started in 2007, Hintonburg had yet to achieve its current status as one of the most in-demand places in Ottawa to live. Organizers wanted to change that. “(The run) really highlights the community,” said Leiper. “When we started it, it was a way of showcasing the community.” Since the first 120 runners back in 2007, the race has R0012115235

R0012077159_0509

58 Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, May 23, 2013

gradually expanded. Organizers expect around 275 to 300 runners this time around. Besides the unofficial tradition of cake at the finish line, the race has another unusual aspect. Because a kids 1K race occurs simultaneously, organizers have scheduled the adult 5K to begin 10 minutes earlier, meaning both races cross the finish line at roughly the same time. Not only does that setup make the race inclusive, it lends to a “crazy finish line” that adds a lot of fun to the event, said Leiper, adding he’s encouraged to see more and more young people joining the event. “We’ve had a young kid place in the top 10 (in the 5K),” said Leiper. Visit www.hintonburgh. com for more information about the race.

Go!

Get back from the gym, pack your kids lunch, then think about yours… Your day is full and one way to make it simpler and healthier is to pack your whole days food to go! Think fruits, veggies, nuts and a layered salad to go! By taking whatever is in your refrigerator and creating an assembly line production, you can make a number of salads at a time and they will stay fresh for the whole week. Let your imagination go wild, grains, beans, sprouts, greens, nuts, seeds, fruit, veggies, dressings, so many possible combinations. Not only do the beans, nuts and seeds add protein, but so do sprouts. In fact, they can contain up to 35% protein. By adding sprouts to your diet you will get the necessary protein intake required by your body minus the fat, cholesterol, and calories that typically come with animal meats. Just grab and go and you are on your way out the door. Then when lunchtime hits you will be able to enjoy this feast for the eyes. Just shake and enjoy!

Aunt Lizzie’s strange gifts never served much use

F

ather’s sister Aunt Lizzie, very wealthy we thought, lived in Regina and once a year she came out to the homestead in Renfrew County, just to check up on her only brother, and as Mother said, to make sure the farm hadn’t slipped into the Bonnechere River. Aunt Lizzie didn’t think Mother was good farm material. She thought anyone who had lived most of her life in New York City, certainly wouldn’t amount a hill of beans in the backwoods of Renfrew County! Every time she came to visit, the house was in turmoil. Everything had to be scrubbed within an inch of its life, and my sister Audrey and I had to give up our bed and the little washstand we shared at the top of the stairs. Even the top had to be cleared off, so my collection of little stones I cherished... small little stones I picked up on the farm and which I loved dearly, had to be put in a little paper bag and tucked away for keeping in a safe

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories place. Audrey’s hand mirror and comb, too, had to find a new home for Aunt Lizzie’s visit. Even though she was his sister, Father was always in a lather when Aunt Lizzie came for her yearly visit. She insisted on bringing him something which served no earthly purpose, and which she thought he shouldn’t live without. And often the hand-medown box, usually included a present for Father which made little or no sense whatsoever. Like the kimono. Father had never laid eyes on a kimono before, but he insisted on wearing it when we had neighbours in for euchre one Saturday night. Even Mother couldn’t talk him out of putting it on, but

when Uncle Alec after dealing out the cards, asked Father what in tarnation he had on over his shirt and trousers, Father decided the kimono just wasn’t for him. When Aunt Lizzie visited us in Renfrew County, she never failed to bring Father some outlandish gift, which she insisted was just what he needed. One summer it was a dress shirt with a high round celluloid collar, which Father had to wear to church the Sunday she was there. It took both Mother and Aunt Lizzie to button it around his neck, and when he got home he said his head ached and his ears were ringing. He never wore the shirt again. I thought the small stiff straw hat with the narrow

brim, and the narrow black ribbon looked much better than the big old tattered one Father wore around the farm. Aunt Lizzie bought it at Walker’s Store in Renfrew and she never let Father forget that she had paid a whole .75 cents for it! That didn’t make him like it any better, especially when he saw the identical hat on a woman in the Lutheran Church one Sunday! Well, one summer, Aunt Lizzie arrived, and as usual, the house was in a turmoil. She re-arranged the furniture without even an if-you-please to Mother, all of which was promptly moved back where it belonged the minute the train left Renfrew station. That year, Aunt Lizzie told Father that she wanted to go into Renfrew to do some shopping for him, as what she had in mind was too bulky to pack in her cow-hide suitcases. Father wasn’t too pleased, but Mother told him to get it over with...there would be no living with his sister until she had her way. And off they went in the

Model T on the Saturday. I couldn’t wait to see what Aunt Lizzie had in mind for Father. When they got home, Father was like a thunder cloud, changed into his bib overalls and headed for the barn. Aunt Lizzie came in with a shoe box under her arm. She opened it on the kitchen table, and there was a pair of men’s shoes the like of which I had never seen before. They were black shiny patent leather, with white leather insets under the laces, and the toes were so pointed, Emerson said you could kick the eyes out of a snake at 50 paces! Aunt Lizzie insisted Father wear them to church the next day, which he did with great reluctance, but the minute he got home, they were exchanged for his black well-worn work boots. Aunt Lizzie said he should wear them all day to break them in. Father sat and looked at the shoes for the longest time, and I could tell he was thinking long and hard.

He put the new shoes back on and headed for the barn to do the Sunday night chores. When he came in for supper, you wouldn’t recognize the new black and white leather shoes. They were covered with manure, grass and mud, and you couldn’t tell where the white insets started and the black toes began. Even Father’s socks were ready for the Monday washing! I knew without question, Father who was meticulous about both himself and the barns, had deliberately ruined the shoes. Aunt Lizzie flew into a fit, grabbed the shoes and went out to the rain barrel with a whisk and a rag. She agreed then they should only be worn to church on Sunday. Her train left before the week was out, and she wasn’t around to see if Father was in his new shoes at the Lutheran Church. Like the kimono, the shirt with the celluloid collar, and the straw hat, the shoes vanished, never to be seen again on the farm at Northcote.

Kettle Island most attractive bridge option: NCC West Carleton Review

Communities angered but not surprised by route choice

ALL TYPE OUTLINED Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Kettle Island has been named the technically preferred option for an new east-end interprovincial bridge. “This bridge is the most centralized in terms of where people are going, in terms of current land uses and development along that corridor,” said Eric Peissel, a consultant for Roche-Genivar Joint Venture. “Once again, this project has been ear-marked for quite some time by both sides and therefore properties and right of ways have already been preserved and doesn’t require extensive purchase of new properties and (because) of course costs of this corridor being the least expensive.” Hired by the National Capital Commission to establish which of the three locations would be the best option for a new interprovincial crossing, Roche-Genivar has been undertaking an environmental assessment for the past two years, holding public consultations, open houses, online comment forms and round table discussions to capture residents comments about a new crossing. Peissel joined the National Capital Commission’s Fred Gaspère and representatives from the ministère des Transports du Québec and the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario to make the announcement to media on May 14. Lori Assheton-Smith from Rockcliffe Park attended a community stakeholders briefing on the evening of May 14 and news of the chosen corridor did not come as a surprise to some of the communities that have been taking part in the consultation process for the past two years.

Raynald Ledoux, left, and Eric Peissel, consultants from Roche-Genivar Joint Venture, announce corridor 5, Kettle Island as the technically preferred option for an east-end inter-provincial bridge at the National Capital Commission offices on May 14. “I think it’s fair to say everyone saw it coming,” Assheton-Smith said. “When you look at any of the reports completed, I don’t think they could have reached any other conclusion.” The decision was made through two evaluation methods: a pair-wise comparison and reasoned arguments which were reviewed by an evaluation committee. Kettle Island ranked the best in traffic and transportation, natural environment, economic environment, land use and properties and costs. It ranked lower when it came to looking at the social environment and for water use and resources, including a potential risk to the Gatineau Water Treatment Plant, but the team was assured that any spills would be considered manageable. When it comes to the residents

who live near Kettle Island, social environment factors are of great concern. “Residents, especially seniors and young children, will suffer serious health risks by the increased air pollution from the diesel fuel the heavy trucks use,” said Judy Lishman, spokeswoman for the Manor Park Community Association in a press release. Upon hearing the news, OttawaVanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur said she was disappointed in the NCC’s recommendation. “The building of a bridge between Ottawa and Gatineau has been my priority for many years, but I’ve always maintained that a new bridge should not disrupt established residential neighbourhoods,” Meilleur wrote in a press release. “Any interprovincial

bridge needs to get the trucks out of downtown, and any proposal that does not respect the local communities and does not get the trucks out of residential areas is not a solution. I will continue to fight to protect all residential neighbourhoods and to encourage better public transit to and from the city core, and I will recommend that the Ontario government not fund a bridge at Kettle Island.” Building a bridge Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau said the location of a new interprovincial bridge would go has been studied for the past 60 years with Kettle Island always being the ideal location. Although he was happy to hear the greenbelt would be saved, Galipeau did say he questions when a bridge will ever be built. While admitting

there is a commitment from various levels of government to build a bridge, he said he has a hard time believing it could get built in his lifetime. The most recent reports released by Roche-Genivar revealed a bridge would cost taxpayers $1.6 billion. The summary allows for a 25 per cent contingency allowance to compensate for the level of accuracy and minor items and tasks not captured in the summary, as well as 20 per cent for engineering and construction administration costs. The report found that Kettle Island is the most economically viable option, coming in at $200 million less than the cost of the next most economical option. See EXHAUST, page 65

City reveals design for Arts Court ‘civic landmark’ Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The city hopes adding an iconic new art gallery and a tower to Arts Court will make the historic site into a “people place.” The current hub of arts in Ottawa is set to expand next year and designs for the new buildings to be added to the complex were presented at a community meeting on May 14. “We want to make it a place of civic pride – not just arts groups camped out in the former courthouse,” said Barry Padolsky, one of the architects hired by the city to work on the project. The $40.5-million expansion will include a large addition to the existing Arts Court building – a heritage complex that used to be home to the courthouse and registry office. The second architect the city hired for the project, Mitchell Hall, said the new Ottawa Art Gallery portion would be a 3,260 square-metre “elegant box” tucked in along the existing north-south stone wall that divides the site. The city is looking at having the gallery building serve as a billboard for art, perhaps using projection or a digital sign, Hall said. A 250-seat screening room, a café and a black-box theatre on Waller Street for the University of Ottawa is

also part of the concept. Open space, seating areas and sculpture courts would buffer the new buildings along Daly Avenue, leading into the main entrance, and along Waller. The adjacent former jailhouse is now a privately-owned hostel and not up for redevelopment. In addition, the city is hoping to make $3.5 million to put towards the project by selling the air rights for a 23-storey tower at the corner of Waller Street and Daly Avenue. It could become a hotel, condo tower, offices, or perhaps even a residence for the University of Ottawa. “It’s too early to tell” what the tower could become, said RideauVanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury. He didn’t have a preference, but he is keen on ensuring the tower’s use and branding are compatible with the theme of the arts complex. Padolsky and Hall have offered a conceptual design for the tower, but it will be up to the winner bidder to create their own concept for the tower. Padolsky and Hall can’t be on that design team, but they will serve as the city’s “advocate architects” to ensure the tower’s design fits into the concept for the block. The existing Arts Court buildings wouldn’t change much, but the space

would be repurposed to allow current tenants like SAW and Art Engine to expand. There would be a change to level out SAW Gallery’s space to make it more accessible by opening out to the courtyard on Nicholas, instead of having a staircase. After all the rezonings and approvals are complete, hopefully in the fall, the project will go to tender to find a builder and a buyer for the tower air rights, Padolsky said. A builder is expected to be selected and construction is to begin in the spring or summer of 2014. It would be completed by 2016, Padolsky said. The tender can’t go out until the city confirms $9 million in funding from the federal government. But the delay lies with the city, not the federal government, said project manager Lauren Reeves. “That’s not a delay on their part,” she said. “It was part of our design process.” The design went through many consultation phases with stakeholders, groups who use space at Arts Court. It took longer than the city expected, Reeves said, and that delayed when the city could submit its final funding application to the federal government. In 2011, the city approved spending $36.14 million on the expansion.

A 23-storey privately owned tower and a box-shaped Ottawa Art Gallery are the most striking features in the city’s Arts Court expansion. The designs were presented at a public meeting on May 14.

Exhaust from trucks crossing bridge will pollute air: residents Continued from page 65

Assheton-Smith said she questions whether a bridge in the east end would help relieve the downtown core of trucks. She said even the NCC has admitted a new bridge will not reduce the amount of trucks downtown, but will only help disperse the projected rise in the amount of traffic. Based on projections for the year 2031, “the amount of truck traffic if we do not construct a new bridge will increase by 60 per cent on the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge,” Peissel said. “In constructing a new crossing in corridor, we are able to reduce that increase to pretty much keeping the level of truck volumes equal to what it is today. Peissel added the consulting firm did look at what would happen if they were to somehow limit the truck traf-

fic on the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge, which resulted in more traffic being dispersed throughout the downtown bridges. “There will still be a lot of trucks in the downtown core, because that is what there destination is.” Assheton-Smith said those numbers just conclude that no bridge will reduce the amount of trucks downtown. CONSULTATION

Residents are encouraged to attend the latest public consultation, being held in Orléans at Shenkman Arts Centre on May 27 from 5 to 9 p.m. NCC spokesman Fred Gaspère encourages the public to continue to participate. “The details are important,” Gaspère said. “We think they are terribly important now.” Those details will be the

design of the bridge and mitigating factors for residents who live near the preferred route. Although the it’s the least expensive option, a new bridge at Kettle Island still carries an estimated $1 billion price tag, which Assheton-Smith said she thinks is a conservative number. “When you talk about mitigation, that number will increase. Add in whether the NCC wants to build something iconic, like what Fred (Gaspère) said last night, we could be talking closer to $2 billion,” she said. Assheton-Smith admits she is discouraged by both the consultation process and the announcement of choosing Kettle Island, she did say she will not give up trying to reverse the decision. “We will keep fighting for sure, it’s the right thing to do,” she said.

The National Capital Commission revealed that Corridor 5, which crosses at Kettle Island, is the preferred choice for a new interprovincial bridge.

Keep garlic mustard out of gardens Sarah Dehler Briarbrook and Morgan’s Grant Community Association

EMC news - Little-known, but menacing garlic mustard has been displaying its clusters of white flowers during the month of May and early June in all parts of Ottawa and poses a new threat to gardeners and nature lovers. This biennial herb, alliaria petiolata, can quickly establish itself at the edges of fences, hedges in both sunny and shady conditions. It is particularly problematic in woodlands where it can displace native flora and severely reduce species diversity. Through its roots, it releases chemicals that destroy the mycorrhizal fungi that many native plants and trees depend on for nutrients. When a second year plant is allowed to go to seed, hundreds of new seedlings will likely be the result the following year. Most gardeners already have enough weeds to worry about keeping out of their gardens without this new one. A proactive approach of looking for this one and getting rid of a few plants is well worth the small effort. The good news on controlling this plant is that it is hard to confuse it with any other plants in your garden when it is in bloom. It is unique with its

cluster of white flowers, each with four small petals. If gardeners are still unsure in the proper identification, following the next steps will allow firsthand knowledge of why the plant has “garlic” in its name: remove a few of the leaves, crush or rub them with two hands and take a whiff. Take action to keep this and other invasives out of your garden. The simplest thing anybody can do to help fight invasive species is to not plant, transmit, spread or release an invasive species. Educate yourself and keep up to date on the status of these and other pests by using the resources

The good news on controlling this plant is that it is hard to confuse it with any other plants in your garden when it is in bloom.

on the Ontario Invasive Plant Council website. Check to see if a plant is invasive before planting it. Many garden centres and community plant sales sell invasives. Be sure to clean your shoes and brush off your clothes after being in an area with invasive species – muddy areas in spring and fall especially. If you do find garlic mustard in your garden, be careful of contaminated soil around the plant, it likely contains more seeds that can spread easily on your garden tools or gardening gloves. Try to avoid disturbing this soil and closely monitor the area for at least five years for any new germination. Control populations of invasive plant species on your own land. Only remove invasive plants when you have permission from the land-owner. Get to know the native plants in your local green space or forest. The Ontario Invasive Plant Council publishes an excellent guide: Grow Me Instead. Spread the word; tell your family, friends and neighbours about how invasives are impacting our green spaces and natural areas. Report sightings of invasive plants to both the land-owner (including the National Capital Commission and the City of Ottawa) and by calling the Invasive Species Hotline at 1-800-563-7711. Join in with community groups and conservation authorities to control invasive species. This is an easy way to invest an hour of your time and ensure you know which plants are invasive and to learn best practices for removal. Fletcher Wildlife Garden is always ready to welcome new volunteers and both the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association and the Briarbrook and Morgan’s Grant Community Association have active invasive plant control efforts underway. Lastly, if you have an interest in the food-foraging movement, garlic mustard is edible and said to make a tasty pesto as well as being used in a variety of dishes. Google “garlic mustard earth day recipes” for helpful information. Similar to our ubiquitous dandelions, garlic mustard was introduced to North America as a garden herb.

The Ottawa Public Library has adopted this colourful logo to represent its public engagement campaign aimed at coming up with a plan for the library of the future.

Library wants you to imagine its future OPL board head looks to re-open debate about closing branches Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The Ottawa Public Library wants people to peek into a crystal ball and imagine what the library should look like in the future. Notably, the library wants to know what it should stop doing – not just new things it should take on. The central questions posed in the online survey – the first phase of the public engagement process – ask what the library should continue doing, what should it start doing and what should it stop doing in the next five years. “We know that we are changing,” said Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, chairwoman of the Ottawa Public Library board. “We are not currently delivering library services in the best way,” she said. The campaign is online at imagine-opl-bpo. ca now and will be open for public comment until June 15. Those who participate will be eligible to win an iPad. People can post ideas and vote on other people’s ideas. A day after the campaign launched the top idea, speed-dating for volunteer opportunities, had already received almost 250 “likes.” While discussing the possibility of closing library branches is politically unpopular, it might be time to re-open that debate, Harder said. “Do we continue to support and sustain our 33 branches and our Bookmobile?” Harder said. “Or do we look at other opportunities that

people may suggest and they may say will serve them just as well. “Is that the best use of the taxpayers’ money?” she added. Adding user-pay programs to the library’s repertoire should also be considered, Harder said. “I am not afraid to start charging for some stuff,” she said. “Right now it’s a free ride at the library and I don’t think that it needs to be. “I’m not looking to make money, but I don’t think we should be hindered from being relevant by not wanting to charge someone $25 for having something unique that people want,” Harder said. Harder said she’d like to see the libraries have more flexible space. She suggested putting the shelves on wheels so they could be moved around and the space repurposed to offer more programs. “So the space that you’re using isn’t necessarily a large amount, but it is vibrant, vital and mobile,” Harder said. Reducing the size of reference sections and instead focusing on helping people find the information in new ways should also be a priority, Harder said. “We’ve got a big job ahead of us. We do want to make sure we’re staying relevant,” she said. Library chief executive officer Danielle MacDonald said she wanted to undertake the consultation “primarily because it makes good sense to connect with our customers.” But the library also wants to hear from people who don’t use the library about why, and what might make them begin accessing library services in person or online. “We know there are new opportunities but we also know there are choices,” MacDonald said. The consultation will set the direction for an update to the library’s strategic plan that should take form early next year. It will be the first time the library has done a major overhaul of its master plan since the city amalgamated.

Camp Quality benefits from big car show weekend in Lombardy Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

EMC News – Since Camp Quality opened in Lanark County in 2000, members of a car club have been donating to a cause that benefits children with cancer. “I remember the initial phone call,” said Glenn Mooney, director at Camp Quality. “It was Terry Irish who called me and we’ve been partners with them ever since. They’ve been wonderful with their ongoing support.” Camp Quality is currently taking registration for children ages five to 18 who would like to experience a fun week of summer camp in August. “Typically, (children) are referred to us through word of mouth or through CHEO,” Mooney says. “We don’t turn anyone away.” Last year, there were 33 children who took part in the camp that runs the first week in August. Mooney and his wife Pam started the eastern Ontario Camp Quality. They don’t own the campsite at Providence Point near Lanark, but only rent it for the week to provide this service, typically to children who have ended their cancer treatments. “We were asked… we couldn’t say no,” he said. They don’t have children of their own, but 18 nieces and nephews… and a Newfoundland dog named Bear. “Camp Quality is a good time for kids to come and have some fun and it also gives their parents some respite,” Mooney said. “If a child is a first-time camper, we usually invite their siblings to attend as well.” Mooney says that there are a number of volunteers who accommodate a single camper. There are two for each child, plus support staff of doctors and nurses on site. Some of the friendships forged between the child and his or her camp counsellors (who are all adults usually in their 20s or 30s) have lasted for years. “We have some matches who have been together for three and four years,” he said. “Kind of like Big Brothers and Big Sisters.” It’s been for almost a half-century that the Antique and Classic Car Club of Canada

SUBMITTED

Members of the Antique and Classic Car Club of Canada (ACCCC), Rideau Lakes Region, are long-time sponsors of Camp Quality, a camp for children with cancer, located in Lanark County. Pictured, young camper Hannayah of Ottawa gets a ride in an old classic, owned by Ashton’s Earl Moore. (ACCCC), Rideau Lakes Region, has been shining up its rigs for the spring car show in Lombardy. This year’s event is slated for May 25 and 26. “We’ve been having this car show since about 1965,” said Andy Holdham of Manotick, president of the ACCCC, who has a 1936 Chevy classic of his own. “And every year since Camp Quality has been in existence, we have donated (money) to help children who are undergoing cancer treatments.” Members of the club live in Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Almonte, Perth, Kemptville, Manotick, Winchester, Metcalfe, Russell, Greely, Kanata, Barrhaven and Orleans, but Holdham said most of the members are from the Smiths Falls area. “We’re from all over… and we attract a great deal of people,” he added, including from Ontario, Quebec and northern United States. This two-day event will feature flea market type vendors of crafts and automotive specialists in and surrounding the agricultural building, complete with ’50s and ’60s music and an evening beef barbecue for anyone who would like to grab bite to eat. There will also be a car corral for those who wish to sell their old classics. A $10 fee will

apply for those wishing to take advantage of this opportunity. Sunday is the main event, with a car show slated from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. – with free registration from 8 a.m. to noon. – complete with 15 different categories of judging. From modified vehicles, to original classics, pro stock and restored antiques, there will be judging by fellow owners with awards presentations at the end of the afternoon, approximately 3 p.m. “These old cars are neat to look at, but even neater to watch and hear one drive by,” Holdham said, as the car show will feature a driveby of sorts as the old buggies are cranked over

for a parade around the racetrack. “We normally parade about 18-20 vehicles and I’m hoping to get up into the 1950 models,” he said. “It’s neat to hear the chugging of the old 1916 Model T owned by a member, Terry Irish, or a 1923 Buick with a different sound all together and we’ll extend that (parade) up to the ’50s and ’60s models.” Holdham said this event is about the camaraderie, networking and having fun with other like-minded car folks, as well as raising funds to keep the club running throughout the year. A Camp Quality donation is just one way they help in the community. “It’s about seeing cars and talking to people with the same interest, and maybe seeing restoration of a car like one you’re working on… it’s about getting advice and finding parts, or just about having fun and enjoying the old cars,” he said. One of the highlights for the ACCCC is having fun with the kids at Camp Quality. “We always go camp and take the kids for rides in the old cars,” said Holdham. “The Antique and Classic Car Club have been a great support to us for the past 13 years, both financially and with their involvement at camp,” Mooney said. Camp Quality will be on site during Sunday’s car show for anyone interested in more information – or visit www.campquality.org or call 1-800-294-7841. For information on the car show, call 613692-2438. Vendor spots are still available as are entries for the car show. There is a nominal fee of $2.50 general admission and children 12 and under are free.

Aries, life might get stressful really soon unless you curb your spending. Although you may feel like you’re made of money right now, eventually the well will dry up. Making changes is seldom easy, but change is necessary this week, Taurus. You may need to analyze which areas of your life can use the most work. Gemini, kick back and have some fun in the next few days. Otherwise, you may waste an opportunity to recharge your batteries. Work responsibilities will not wait for long. Cancer, expect some rejuvenated ambition and energy. Spurred on by this newfound energy, you can successfully tackle many of the things on your to-do list. Leo, unless you can focus you will just be puttering around without a goal. Put your mind on one thing and stick with this line of thinking for a few days. Virgo, once you set your mind to something, it can be difficult to alter your opinions or perceptions. You may need to be a bit more flexible with a loved one this week.

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!

Libra, if you want someone to take you seriously you have to make up your mind. Don’t flip-flop on your ideals this week or you may come across as a pushover. Scorpio, just when you think you have reached a dead end, a new path miraculously opens up. Don’t miss your opportunity because time is fleeting. If practice makes perfect, then you have just about reached perfection, Sagittarius. You have been over and over something from every angle. It is now or never. Capricorn, there are many things you will not be able to change about this week, so why focus on the negativity? Instead, work around any issues and get the job done anyway. You often seem immune to the seriousness of certain situations, Aquarius. This week is no different. Try to recognize the gravity of a certain situation and put your best foot forward. Don’t think that your efforts have gone unnoticed, Pisces. A few key people have been keeping track of your accomplishments.
