has sight set on Olympics Bridlewood woman gives speech during True Sports Day Matt Shumsky

EMC news - To say Bridlewood resident Esther Akinsulie is a busy woman would be an understatement. The 28-year-old sprinter is in the midst of the most important few months of her life. Akinsulie is trying to qualify for the Canadian track-and-field team heading to the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London this summer. “Most of my day is spent in the gym and on the track,” admitted Akinsulie. “I don’t have much time to relax.” Which makes Akinsulie’s appearance May 18 at the Eva James Memorial Community Centre in Kanata all the more impressive. The local track star thought it was important to come speak to over 500 local elementary school children on True Sports day which emphasizes the importance of staying active and working hard. “It’s great to do events like this. I think it’s important to teach kids that hard work and perserverance can pay off in whatever you do,” said Akinsulie. Akinsulie’s mother Daphne couldn’t be more proud of her daughter.

Centrum summerfest Mall’s fundraiser for Youth Services Bureau on June 2 Blair Edwards

EMC news - An event aiming to assist the thousands of youth who seek help with mental health issues in Ottawa every month will be held at the Kanata Centrum on June 2. Sheila Greene, Centrum Summerfest’s

organizer, said the event was created in memory of Jamie Hubley, a 15-year-old Glen Cairn boy who took his own life last October, after struggling with depression following years of bullying in elementary school and high school. “It’s remembering the lives of our youngsters that are dealing with these mental health issues,” she said. One in five youth will suffer a mental health problem, with only a third of them receiving the services and help they need, according to the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa. “There’s no one that doesn’t have someone that hasn’t been affected by mental health issues,” said Greene. “It’s

so sad. Greene said she remembers Jamie as a talented young singer, who performed twice at a youth-talent show at the Centrum in previous summers. “One year his voice was changing – he was becoming a young man,” said Greene. “He was unhappy his voice was changing, but he was singing beautifully.” Centrum Summerfest will offer Midway rides for children, games of chance, a 50/50 draw and musical entertainment throughout the day, including the performance of “On My Way to Finding You.” See Summerfest, page 3

Increase in number of calls to crisis line: Youth Services Bureau “On My Way to Finding You” is a song dedicated to the memory of Jamie Hubley, by Ottawa country musician Drake Jenson. The Youth Services Bureau Ottawa will attend the event and will sell T-shirts and bracelets inscribed with the word “acceptance,” created to raise awareness about homophobia and bullying among Ottawa youth. Centrum Summerfest will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and all proceeds of the event will go to support the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa. The games of chance will be run by friends of Jamie Hubley. Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor and Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren will attend the event and invitations have been sent to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his wife, Laureen. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson are unable to attend the event as they will be in Saskatoon, from June 1 to 4 for the annual Conference and Municipal Expo. YOUTH SERVICES BUREAU

Ted Charette, fundraising

chair of the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa, said there has been an increased demand for mental health services following the deaths of Jamie and Daron Richardson, a 14-year-old Ottawa girl who took her own life in 2010. “There has been an increase on all the services we have since this tragic event,” he said. “We do know that after significant events like this there’s always an increase in the number of calls to the crisis line. “That’s due to awareness,” he said. The youth services bureau recently hired four full-time youth and family counselors – two working at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre in Kanata and two providing service at schools among Ottawa’s four English and French school boards. “These are some of the things that money can do to expand our reach,” said Charette. The youth services bureau helps more than 3,000 youth and families every month, he said. The youth services bureau crisis line – available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for children and youth ages 18 and under who are experiencing a mental-health crisis and for parents, family, friends or service providers – is 613-260-2360.

Ted Charette, fundraising chair of Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa, says the bureau has recently hired four full-time youth and family counsellors. File

bests this year; with race times of 7.43 seconds and 37.83 seconds for the 60 metre and 300 metre races. “I feel that the pieces are starting to fall in place for me,” said Akinsulie. The results couldn’t have come at a better time for the track star as qualifying for the upcoming Summer Games is currently underway. Akinsulie is trying out for the 200 metre, 400 metre and four by 400 metre events.

Kanata Seniors Council offers computer training Kanata Seniors Council

The Kanata Seniors Council is a not-for-profit corporation located in the Kanata Seniors Centre at 2500 Campeau Dr. The council provides an advisory function to the city and offers local services, events and programs to seniors including the Council Café, seniors travel, computer and tablet instruction together with a public access computer room. The Council Computer Team consists of seven dedicated and very experienced retired volunteers.

The volunteers provide one-on-one computer, laptop or tablet training in the Kanata Seniors’ Centre in a dedicated room, as well as computer seminars and support to the council members. Kanata Seniors Council members can learn computer, tablet apps, email, social media and internet access skills in a relaxed environment, and expanding their world via the internet. The computer team embodies the council motto of “seniors helping seniors” by showing seniors how to communicate with friends, family

and learn how to use multimedia in a non-threatening environment with support easily available. Seniors may use council training PC’s, or their laptop, together with council printers, scanners and a high speed network. The computer team provides a hi-speed internet computer room which contains four public access computers with a variety of input devices for any council member use, and two computer training machines for council member one-on-one training

lessons. Tablet training using members own tablets or council tablets are also available. Windows or Mac training is provided as well as free Wi-Fi access in all the key rooms of the Kanata Seniors’ Centre. The Council Computer Team prides itself on providing tailored and friendly oneon-one instruction to seniors, and has a wealth of knowledge across all areas of computers, networking, social media and internet resources. Instructors all have excellent social skills to facilitate

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

learning and trust. Rather than providing a fixed format training program each volunteer listens to the needs of the senior student and adapts their knowledge to address the concerns of the senior in a friendly social manner. For example this can be to show a senior how to use email or Facebook and send and receive pictures with grandchildren. Alternatively a senior may have a specific issue to resolve such as how to write and publish a book, create a web photo album or research a specific topic like genealogy. Seniors are not just shown but progress by duplicating instruction until they can

progress by themselves. Typically a senior books three consecutive one hour lessons with the same instructor for a total cost of $15. Group seminars to demystify computer, tablet and social networking topics are free and are offered on a regular basis. On average we provide over 400 lessons and six seminars a year. New seniors are always welcome and lessons are available weekdays and Saturday morning and can be arranged by calling the Kanata Senior Centre front desk at 613 599 4480. More information is available at www.kanataseniors.ca/computer_training.html.

Petrie Island hosts water safety awareness Brier Dodge

A water safety event was hosted at Petrie Island on May 16 to raise awareness in preventing drowning. “It’s important to be water wise when we’re out there having fun this summer,” said Coun. Mark Taylor. They highlighted the following water safety tips: • Always keep children within arms’ reach near water • Never leave a child alone in water • Make sure children and weaker swimmers wear life jackets or personal floatation devices • Supervise and swim with children only when free of alcohol, drugs and distractions The event was hosted by

the Ottawa Drowning Prevention Coalition, made up of representatives from a variety of organizations. They demonstrated how the city prepares for water rescues, with lifeguards doing a mock rescue, and an Ottawa Fire Services rescue boat on display. Later in the same day, the Ottawa Fire Services water rescue unit was called to action near the Britannia Yacht Club after a person was tossed overboard off a sailboat. The boat operator was unable to retrieve him due to rough water and wind. The man, who was wearing a life jacket, was in the water for about 25 minutes before a fire services boat was able to rescue him.

A fitting memorial for our lost sons and daughters

he taboo against talking about youth suicide is starting to break. After much debate the Old Ottawa East Community Association has agreed to create a memorial recongnizing mental health issues, in memory of 18-year-old Nadia Kajouji, the Carleton University student who took her own life in April of 2008. The community association agreed to replace a makeshift memorial, created by Nadiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, with something more

permanent to offer support to others who struggle with mental health issues that may lead to suicide. The idea sparked much debate among members of the community association. Some worried the site would attract or even encourage suicidal people. Unfortunately out of sight does not necessarily mean out of mind. In the past, far too many of us have remained fearfully quiet in the wake of the death of one of our sons or daughters.

Fears that took many forms, but boiled down to the same argument: if we talk about youth suicide it only serves to encourage others. The cracks in this tired and old argument started to show following the deaths of teens Daron Richardson, 14, in 2010 and Jamie Hubley, 15, in 2011. The parents of Daron and Jamie talked openly about their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggle with mental health issues, a problem that resonated with people across Canada. More important, it sparked

discussion about what has become a national epidemic. One in five children suffer a mental health problem â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but only a third of those get the help they need, according to the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa. Every one of us either know or have come into contact with a child who has mental health issues. This discussion has encouraged positive change. It has sparked fundraisers and events raising awareness about youth mental health is-

sues across Ottawa this summer, including the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dragon Boat festival in June. The Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa has used money from recent fundraisers and donations to hire four new youth and family counsellors serving at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre and schools among Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four English and French school boards. On a national level, a private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill has proposed creating a national suicide prevention strategy.

Canada is the only G8 nation without a national suicide prevention strategy. This is an example how healthy discussion about a national problem can translate into a prescriptive policy change. These positive changes have become organic memorials to the memories of Nadia, Daron, Jamie â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for all our sons and daughters who lost their lives battling mental health issues. A memorial more fitting than any statue or bench we could erect in their memory.

Rejoicing in little yellow flowers CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

ittle kids understand dandelions. Look at the pretty flower, they say. Look, Mommy, I picked a pretty flower for you. Grownups with lawns donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand dandelions. They have lost the ability to appreciate a pretty yellow flower and they want green grass instead. Grownups donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand how to get rid of dandelions, except by using chemicals which are outlawed in most places. So dandelions thrive, which is great for children and not so great for grownups with lawns. Women understand dandelion strategy. They let it be known that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a device that picks dandelions without the picker having to stoop. Men love devices and bring one home. Women say they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand how the device works. Men, showing off, say, here, let me do it. Next thing you know, men are using the dandelion device. But the experts, and there are millions of them, take a dim long-run view of the dandelion device and all other cures. They say that no strategy outside of paving the lawn works against dandelions. So hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a radical idea. Maybe we should just come to terms with them. Let dandelions be dandelions. Rejoice in yellow flowers all over the lawn. Ancient civilizations survived without green lawns and so can we. We just have to get used to it. Croquet will be a problem, for example. Golf courses might disappear, which is too bad, although it would save millions of dollars in green fees and new

wedges. True, the issue of mowing the lawn will suddenly become complicated. For a time it will seem nicer: no pushing the lawnmower around. But then things other than dandelions will pop up and we might want to cut them, but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do so without cutting the dandelions. The risk then is that the dandelions will become overwhelmed by, among other things, grass. Another problem is that dandelion season does not last forever. Modern man being what he is, he will undoubtedly attempt to extend the dandelion season, by artificial means if necessary. There will be new dandelion-stimulating chemicals, demands to ban them and that that old battle beginning again. No one said that dandelions would be a bed of roses. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the positives, one of them being the glory of all that yellow, the other being not having to pick all that yellow. Traditionalists will take a dim view of the new pro-dandelion approach. They will do irrational things, such as writing letters to the editor and running for city council. But there are reasons for even them to be encouraged. Because it is always possible that when we want dandelions to grow, they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. This follows an age-old principle of gardening, which can be stated as follows: the harder you try to make a particular plant grow, the greater the likelihood of an entirely different plant growing in its place. In other words, it is possible that the best way to get rid of dandelions is by trying to grow them. Dandelions are like that. They know when they are not wanted. They take pride in popping up the morning after the proud male has picked the lawn clean with the dandelion device. Who is to say that they will not do the reverse â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a disappearing act at a precisely the moment when we want them to appear? If that theory holds true, we are faced with the grim possibility that the lawn is here to stay, and that will have to mow it again.

Although this guideline is largely irrelevant in the developed world, where men and women have access to good nutrition, along with lifestyles that require them to work and live independently, it offers another institutionalized opportunity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as Badinter argues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to pressure mothers back into the domestic sphere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t people wear their babies and breastfeed two-year-olds?â&#x20AC;? commented one friend/ Last time I checked, maternal and child health records

much of them presented in the negative. He concludes that separation from mothers causes chronic stress, and increases the likelihood that children will be withdrawn, depressed and experience abnormal heart growth. Although these supposed â&#x20AC;&#x153;scientificâ&#x20AC;? facts are actually quite sketchy, they serve to induce fear and guilt to those who are unable or unwilling to practise every element of attachment parenting . But, you may think, so what? We live in a free society. We can practice whatever form of parenting we want. A quick glance at the websites of many pre-natal classes offered in Ottawa shows that even our local institutions are perpetuating the myths of all-or-nothing attachment parenting. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing to provide links to breastfeeding supports. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another thing entirely to link to sites that condemn bottle-feeding and offer courses called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the benefits of baby-wearing and co-sleeping,â&#x20AC;? without also offering up alternative methods, such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;stroller-sizing and sleep-training.â&#x20AC;? Further exacerbating the situation for nervous, firsttime parents is that many international institutions, such as the World Health Organization, are now recommending women breastfeed children until two years of age. Underlying these policies is an attempt to protect women in developing countries, where lack of access to clean water and an abundant supply of

in many developing countries were appalling. Besides, none of us live in mud huts, nor in villages with other women to support us in the task of raising our children. We have

ttachment parenting has become a dirty word these days. But should it be? Most parents probably practice some form of this parenting philosophy, which includes responding to a babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cries, holding your baby without fear of coddling and practicing positive discipline. Why all the controversy? For one thing, a recent Time magazine cover, showing a women breastfeeding her three-year-old. The cover, released on the heels of a new book by French feminist Elisabeth Badinter, seems to support Badinterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central argument that modern women feel pressured into practising traditional mothering practices. But how much truth lies behind the controversy? To give credit where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due, Dr. William Sears, one of North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s predominant experts on attachment parenting, does not recommend his parenting tools to be used as a Bible. In The Attachment Parenting Book, Sears writes that â&#x20AC;&#x153;attachment parenting is an approach to raising children rather than a strict set of rules.â&#x20AC;? The overarching goal of the tools, writes Sears, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;opening your mind and heart to the individual needs of your baby and letting your knowledge of your child be your guide to making on-thespot decisions.â&#x20AC;? It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound so bad, right? Where Sears starts to get controversial is in his presentation of questionable science. Despite acknowledging that attachment parenting tools such as baby-wearing and bed-sharing may not be the best thing for all parents all of the time, Sears takes every opportunity throughout his book to point out the supposed benefits of these tools,

EMC news – Reducing the number of city wards and creating a borough system will likely be on city council’s agenda later this year. Addressing his one outstanding campaign promise during an online live chat hosted by Metroland reporter Laura Mueller on May 17, Watson said he would like to see the size of council reduced before the next municipal election in 2014. “For our city, compared to

Watson proposed the borough system in August of 2010 during the municipal election campaign, saying it could help reduce the disconnect some Ottawans still feel more than a decade after amalgamation. While Watson has said he doesn’t think amalgamation was a bad idea, the process hasn’t been without challenges. In 2010, he suggested reducing the number of councillors – and wards – from 23 to between 14 and 17. To boost representation, that was suggested to be supplemented by four boroughs with members that could have full jurisdiction over local matters for their area of the city. The idea would save money, Watson said during the election, and bring Ottawa’s elected representation in line with other cities. The issue will form part of the work of the governance renewal subcommittee, which so far has looked at a lobbyist registry for the city. A look into the number and structure of the city’s citizen advisory committees is also underway. MAYOR SUGGESTS MUSEUM MOVE

Also during the May 17 chat,

Watson suggested LeBreton Flats might be a good location for a new science and technology museum. The current Canada Science and Technology Museum on St. Laurent Boulevard was already in the news last week for raising the age of admission without parents for a sexuality exhibit geared towards teens. Watson was responding to a question about rumours of a new casino coming to LeBreton Flats following the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s call for proposals for a new gambling facility in Ottawa. During the chat, Watson said LeBreton Flats is an unlikely candidate for a casino because the land is owned by the National Capital Commission, which already has plans to build housing there. But there is also a plan to include a “nationally significant building” at LeBreton Flats, and Watson suggested that a revitalized science and technology museum would be at the top of his list. “I personally would love to see a new science and technology museum move from a former bread factory on St. Laurent to a new site at LeBreton Flats,” Watson wrote. “It would compliment the spectacular war museum and help bring more tourists

As You Like It coming to Walter Baker Park on July 8 Bear & Co.

Outdoor summer theatre in Ottawa is a highly-anticipated annual delight, and this year’s offerings prove as rich as ever. This summer, Ottawa’s newest professional touring theatre company, Bear & Co., proudly presents one of William Shakespeare’s most enduring pastoral comedies, As You Like It, directed by Will Somers, with musical direc-

tion by Rachel Eugster. The As You Like It tour comes to Kanata with a stop at Walter Baker Park on Friday, July 8. Show starts at 7 p.m. Patrons are advised to bring a blanket or lawn chairs, refreshments and bug spray. A hat will be passed after each show, for a suggested contribution of $10 per person. As You Like It tours parks throughout Ottawa and be-

yond July 3 through Aug. 5. As You Like It is a timeless tale which blends romance and comedy, and is told passionately with eloquence and sincerity. In addition, woven throughout the play are issues and themes which are as relevant today, as ever. Traditionally, banished from her uncle’s court, Rosalind seeks safety, and her love, in the Forest of

Arden, however Somers’ exciting and inventive new staging transports the classic tale to 1950’s Greenwich Village. “Our setting the play in 1950’s Greenwich Village offers a contemporary audience a way to understand the arguments of class warfare, right to power, and abuse of power that Shakespeare makes throughout the play.”, says Somers. “The workers’ move-

ment battles McCarthyism, folksters mingle with beatniks, and featuring cool classic folk music, As You Like It offers audiences a great way to beat the heat.” As You Like It features a rich and dynamic cast of characters brought to life by

Cadets to hold annual inspection on May 26 Vintage Wings of Canada was pleased to offer an opportunity for five air cadets and one escort officer to attend the Swordfish ground school. The 872 Air Cadet Squadron of Kanata was honoured to have three of their own cadets chosen for this weekend event. Lance Air Cpl. Jawad Arafa, Flight Cpl. Rob Tate and Flight Cpl. Ines Lopez-Espinosa were chosen from essays sent in by cadets in the Ottawa Valley focusing on themes such as the “debt we owe our veterans and how we can honor them”. The cadets were accompanied by commanding officer of the 872 Sqd. Maj. Diana Dixon. The cadets enjoyed two days of classes which included the history of the Swordfish, engines, airframe, flight controls and armament amongst the many topics offered. The 872 Kanata Kiwanis Air Cadet Squadron is more than half way through their annual schedule which runs an excellent youth program for 120 cadets between the ages of 12 to 18 from centres such as Kanata, Stittsville, West Carleton and Barrhaven. So far this year, the cadets

have participated in a number of national and community parades like the Canadian Fallen Firefighter Memorial Parade, the Battle of Britain Ceremony, Remembrance Day Ceremony (Kanata Cenotaph) and the Kanata Santa Clause Parade. The squadron has also taken part in annual programs and events like flying in gliders, a power flight day with an hour long ride on a C13OS Hercules military transport plane. The cadets have gone on one FTX (Bush weekend) training exercise with another one scheduled in late May. Some of the other events that have been enjoyed by the cadets are a sleep over at the National Aviation Museum and the annual formal mess dinner. Summer is on its way and most of the cadets have applied for an opportunity to attend one of the following allexpense paid camps which include outdoor survival, sports, music, leadership, and introduction to aviation and marksmanship. A few cadets will go on to earn their glider pilot wings and power flight wings (pilot’s license). The cadets final event will be the 33rd annual inspection and will take place at the Stittsville & District

The announcement was made in Toronto on May 18 by Health Minister Deb Matthews. “As a society, we’ve changed the trajectory on health issues before. From reducing tobacco-related illness to improving workplace safety, we’ve been successful when all sectors work together. Reducing childhood obesity rates is one of the most important health concerns of our time. I look forward to working with this talented panel to develop ways Ontario can change the trajectory on this issue too,” said Munter. Munter will co-chair with Kelly Murumets, CEO of ParticipACTION. They will lead a distinguished group of scientific, clinical, policy and business experts. The panel will report to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care in December 2012. CHEO is home to internationally-recognized research-

ers in the field of childhood obesity. Their research has helped shape clinical programs at CHEO and beyond.

In recent years, CHEO has been seeing more and more children and youth who are obese, and seeing conditions and related health issues that are more and more complex and serious. Last year, CHEO opened

the Centre for Healthy and Active Living (CHAL), an assessment and treatment center for kids with complex severe obesity. Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi attended the opening of the center, and is very supportive of the program. “Childhood obesity has becomes a crisis, with no signs of slowing down,” said Yasir Naqvi, MPP, Ottawa Centre. “For a healthy community, it is important that we intervene now to prevent further health complications later in life.” The CHEO Research Institute’s Healthy Active Living and Obesity Research Group (HALO) works to provide leadership and research for the prevention, management and treatment of obesity in children. HALO has produced 197 peer-reviewed publications.

Legion member publishes historical novel EMC news - Life really does begin at 70, says local author Patricia Cher. A teacher for over 34 years, Cher said she had to retire before finding her true passion in life – writing. Cher’s first published book, Mi’kmaq Song, is the fulfillment of one of her dreams, one she has held since she first grasped a pen. “From as far back as I could remember I wanted to write,” said Cher. “I remember in

Grade 1 writing poems and always wanting to be a writer.” A native of Bathurst, N.B., Cher attended New Brunswick Teachers’ College – now the University of New Brunswick – when she realized her passion for writing and history would be a great base for teaching. She later moved to Montreal in the 1960s where she gained her master’s degree of education with a concentration in curriculum development from McGill University and met her husband John – retired as well, he currently is the president of

the Kanata branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. Cher spent her last 10 years of teaching at Castlefrank Elementary School in Katimavik. “I taught everything from kindergarten to Grade 10, to French immersion and everything in-between,” said Cher. “Creative writing was always my favourite subject to teach though and I was passionate about history. I am a bit of a history buff as long as it concerns Canada,” said Cher. Mi’kmaq Song is an historical novel that follows

the adventures of Maggie, a modern-day young Mi’kmaq girl who travels back in time to the 1600s when she meets Abtatuk, a young Mi’kmaq. Cher said her novel can both “educate and entertain simultaneously.” “I was amazed to find more information about the Mi’kmaq people than about the experience of the early settlers,” said Cher. “It gave me a new understanding about the Mi’kmaq culture and their importance to my history.” Before putting pen to pa-

per, Cher researched the cultural history of the Mi’kmaw people, one of Canada’s first families. “Our history reads better than Egyptian history,” said Cher. “And when I started to research it I said ‘Oh gosh, people should hear about this’. It was so fascinating to read about our history and the people who first came here and the people who they first met. I had never studied this in school or heard about it and I wanted people to know what a fantastic group of people they

were.” “I felt the information should be available in an easy format for all to enjoy,” said Cher. “Thus the book, Mi’kmaq Song, was born.” WRITING

An early riser – doing the majority of her writing before 5 a.m. – Cher would start to write on her iPad or laptop early in the day and email herself ideas as they came to her. See SELF PUBLISHING, page 22

Self-published author talks about promoting books SELF PUBLISHING, from 21

And when she isn’t writing and promoting her novel through Facebook and Twitter, Cher can be found painting, working alongside her husband at the Kanata Legion or working on cookbooks. “I also published a low calorie recipe book,” said Cher. “Low Calorie Special, Desserts and Sweets. I also have a Facebook group Recipes Low Calories where we exchange recipes and ideas.” Cher said the work only just started after the book was published and the real adven-

ture began – self-publishing. A subject she studied for years, Cher said with help from Create Space – a website that provides free tools to help authors self-publish and distribute books on Amazon. com. “Stephen King went through so many rejections before he published anything,” said Cher. “I didn’t have the patience to go through hundreds and hundreds of rejection letters like. I had read about publishing online and it has been a fantastic experience.”

“My book is selling well on Amazon,” said Cher. “The eBook is selling better than the trade paperback. This is also true for most books on Amazon. A big surprise is that Mi’kmaq Song is consistently on Amazon’s top 100-list for History, Native American.” Cher said her next project is to find an artist to illustrate the many children’s books she has written on her computer. “I have been discussing with a young artist who lives in Ottawa about possibly illustrating the books,” she said.

Dan Plouffe

A.Y. Jackson’s Brandon Howard won the junior boys’ 800-metre race at the national capital west conference track-and-field championships on Wednesday, May 16, at Terry Fox Athletic Facility.

A.Y. athlete running solo in chase for OFSAA final Dan Plouffe

EMC sports - Half a lap separated Brendon Howard from his nearest challenger in the junior boys’ 3,000 metres at last week’s national capital west conference track-andfield finals. It was a “pretty solid” start to championship season in the view of the Grade 10 A.Y. Jackson Secondary School student, who’s got his sights set on racing in the provincial final of the two longest races available in Ontario high school track. “I want to make OFSAA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations) and I want to set another (personalbest) in the 3,000,” states Howard, who’d been after a better finish than last year’s pair of ninth-place performances in the midget boys’ 1,500 metre and 3,000 metre races at OFSAA. “This year I want topeight for sure.” Howard cracked that barrier on two occasions already this season. He was the seventhplace finisher at this past fall’s OFSAA cross-country running championships in Blackburn Hamlet, and then placed fourth at the OFSAA nordic skiing championships in the winter. The Nakkertok Cross-Country Ski Club member made the

Ontario development ski team last year, so that became his primary athletic focus ahead of running. “Training’s been going pretty well though,” Howard indicates. “I’ve been doing a bit more running lately instead of ski training.” Commitment to another sport is the reason Howard lost one standout track teammate. It had become a familiar sight to see two sets of A.Y. Jackson blue one beside one another in their races, but Howard is now running solo this season since Alec Jarvis is focusing on his triathlon training at this time of year. “It’s a bit harder to push myself without him here,” says Howard, who cruised in for a win of almost 30 seconds in the 3,000 metre in a time of nine minutes, 38.26 seconds. “But I’ll manage. I’m still pretty tired right now.” It was a busy day overall for Howard, who won the 1,500 metre crown earlier in the day by almost 20 seconds in 4:34.50. Then to top things off, he went for a little sprint, stepping in for a missing fourby-100 metre teammate who couldn’t make it. High jumpers Taylor Sachs, Davine Reid and James Lever were also west conference champions from A.Y., but it

was the Earl of March Lions who stole the show out of Kanata schools at the Wednesday, May 16 meet, winning a total of 31 medals. Anne Fagnan, Stephanie Kaminski, Kiera Niemi, Carley Pappas, Charlotte Gardner, Mohamed Alkhani, Matthew Dick, Josh Perry and Riley Gibson were all double-medal winners, while Hailey McKechnie (midget girls’ 80 metre hurdles, 300 metre hurdles and four-by-100 metre relay) and Doug Johnston (junior boys’ long jump, triple jump and four-by-100 metre relay) were triple-medalists, and John Roscoe (midget boys’ 100 metre hurdles, 300 metre hurdles, long jump and four-by-100 metre relay) won four. Holy Trinity Catholic High School’s Mickey Day, a 2011 OFSAA junior boys’ silver medalist in the 800 metre, started his season with a casual win in the senior boys’ 800, earning the race win by over five seconds in 2:04.47 – well behind his provincial championships time from last season, 1:56.65. The national capital championships take place May 23-24 at Terry Fox Athletic Facility, followed by the east regionals and OFSAA finals May 31-June 1 and June 7 to 9 respectively in Brockville.

Community garden comes to Kanata Gabrielle Tieman

Queensway Carleton welcomes new addition With the slow drop of the crane arm, the 4,100-kilogram magnet was dropped into its new home as part of the second MRI machine for Queensway Carleton Hospital in west Ottawa. The Hospital welcomed the arrival of the new MRI on May 18 to enhance the robust Diagnostic Service portfolio in this busy hospital. The addition of a second MRI machine means the team can accommodate another 2,100 scans in 2012/13.

EMC news - Kanata’s first community garden will officially break ground this summer at W.C. Bowes Park in Morgan’s Grant. Lesa McHugh, one of the lead organizers for the garden, said people will “hopefully be able to get their hands dirty by mid-June.” McHugh said she first saw the need for a community garden when she moved into a new housing development in Kanata three years ago and found she did not have room for a garden, let alone a yard. Having grown up in rural Cape Breton and later lived on a hobby farm in Carp, Ont., McHugh says she had always had a garden. “I really believe in home gardening,” said McHugh. “I have a 13-year-old daughter and I think it is important that she knows where her food comes from. How many listeria outbreaks do we need from imported food before we start growing it ourselves?” Without the option of a garden at home, McHugh started talking to people in the community who were in the same situation as herself. When she met Julie Gourley with the Kanata Environmental Network, the idea for a community garden was born. “She introduced me to the food movement,” said

McHugh. “So two summers ago I started taking workshops on how to start your own community garden. Julie introduced me to other people in the area who were considering starting their own gardens, and it began.” With so much community support and help from the Ottawa group Just Food – an organization working towards creating a sustainable food system and enhancing the access to healthful food in the Ottawa region – McHugh said she was hopeful for the project. But without any land secured, the team couldn’t start the process of obtaining funding and the project was momentarily placed on hold during 2011. “It didn’t look like it was going to go anywhere because it seemed we had to have the land first before the funding,” said McHugh. “Val Collins was as well working to find a plot. Our two groups met together and we tried to find the appropriate land and neither one of us had found anything last year.” With the project on hold, Collins – who was unable to be reached at this time – applied for funding to use her own lawn as a prototype for the garden. With only $500 needed in funding for the home project, McHugh said they were happy to get the ball back rolling, and then a pos-

sible location for the park was identified. “A location in W.C. Bowes Park in Kanata North was pointed out to one of the ladies in the group,” said McHugh. “It was pointed out that part of the land in the park was never used for anything. And it is a popular park, lots of soccer fields, so it was a great location.” McHugh says the majority of the funding is coming from the City of Ottawa and another large donation is being made by the Briarbrook and Morgan’s Grant Community Association which will be sponsoring the garden with a $500 donation to build a raised garden bed. The garden will have 18 lots that can be shared between 20 families. McHugh says although there is no room for further expansion of the W.C. Bowes lot, she has her eye on another piece of land as they currently have over 50 people on their mailing list asking for information. “We have some seniors who have been gardeners all their lives and some brand new people who haven’t grown a tulip,” said McHugh. Anyone interested in getting involved in the community garden or looking to be added to the mailing list can contact McHugh at kanatacommunitygarden@gmail. com.

Why concrete? This advanced technology consists of pre-assembled, interlocking forms delivered to the construction site. The specialized panels consist of two, stay-in-place forms of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) connected with a hinged, folding web. The forms are stacked, reinforced, and then filled with concrete, creating a solid monolithic wall. “The benefits are extensive,” Blyth explains. “Architects are inspired by new design possibilities; builders cut their construction time in half; and the homeowner (or

commercial building owner) can feel satisfied for cutting back on an enormous amount of wood.” As importantly, the quality of life continues long after construction is completed, he continued.

(MS) -- Due to demand, builders today are constantly learning about the new and advanced technologies for home construction. Owner-clients want to be assured of living in the healthiest, most durable, least wasteful house possible -- and therefore, building a home from the ground up is the best opportunity to get it right. “In addition to fixtures and materials, be sure to ask for the most advanced construction methods,” says Todd Blyth at Nudura, a leading name in building system technology. “For example, more and more builders, on request, are discarding the traditional woodframing method -- now seen as inefficient and wasteful -- in favour of concrete walls.”

EMC news - For the first time ever, the crumbling Main library branch is on the list for fixing up. It doesn’t mean the Ottawa Public Library has completely given up on finding a new home for the beleaguered branch, the library’s chief executive and board chairwoman say, but it acknowledges the fact that the branch can’t continue without some help. “This puts it front and center,” said Jan Harder, library board chairwoman and councillor for Barrhaven Ward. She was quick to add that a new Main branch is not Ottawa Public Library’s strategic plan. “Normally, what we do is separate Main and leave it all by itself, but since we are in not in a position to be building a brand new library, it has to be

included,” Harder said. “It’s still operating … it needs to be taken care of,” said Danielle McDonald, the new head of the library. “As far as I’m concerned, while we have it and while it’s still here, it needs to be looked at as a branch. Lots of people visit that branch and it is tired looking. It needs to be addressed.” The report, which the library board received on May 14, doesn’t identify what renovations will be undertaken at the Main branch or how much the city plans to spend there. It simply puts Main to the top of the list for renovations when money becomes available. “It is our biggest fixer-upper for sure,” Harder said. A condition report for the branch will come to the library board next month. That report was requested in 2011 to examine the building’s remaining lifespan, the potential for expansion or other uses and renovation options and costs. By all accounts, it doesn’t look good. Harder said one of the library’s walls has pulled away from the floor and a structural engineer must be consulted before a stack of books can be moved. “We’re going to have to decide what’s in the best interests of the library. To invest – what can we do?” Harder said. The branch was built in 1971, opened in 1974 and re-

Quick, easy breakfast cinnamon buns EMC food - Fresh cinnamon buns, homemade and served warm from the oven for breakfast, are one of the better things in life. In this recipe, the food processor does all the mixing and kneading. Once you try it and discover just how quick and easy it is, you’ll be ready to make cinnamon buns again and again. To make morning preparation even easier, do some of the prep the night before. You can measure the dry ingredients, prepare the cinnamon-brown sugar filling and even butter the baking pan ahead of time.

Take out the insert and with the motor running, pour the oil and buttermilk through the opening into the dry ingredients. Continue processing until the dough forms a ball. This takes about one minute. Turn the dough out on a lightly-floured surface, and shape it into a ball. With a rolling pin, roll the dough out to make a rectangle 38 centimetres long and 25 centimetres wide. The long side should be facing you. For the filling, spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up the rectangle tightly, starting from the long

side closest to you. Pinch the seam to seal. With a sharp knife, cut the roll in half, then mark each half into five portions of equal width. Cut through the roll where you’ve marked it. Marking the dough first, then cutting it, will help you in making slices that are even in width. Arrange the slices, cut side up, in a greased round 22 centimetre (nine-inch) cake pan. Place eight slices around the edge of the pan and two in the middle. This gives them room to expand as they bake. Bake at 400 F (200 C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven, and set the pan on a cake rack. Cool for about five minutes in the pan before serving. Makes 10 buns.

Dolls receive royal treatment

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories picked for such a beautiful doll. She was named Claire, but I thought she was much more suited to be called Margaret. Of course, my love for Princess Margaret Rose had a lot to do with my choice. I went through a real ritual before I went to bed at night. Father, one Christmas, had made me a doll crib. At bedtime, before I climbed the stairs to the big hall which served as a bedroom for Audrey and me, I gathered my dolls around me and crouched on the floor beside the little blue crib. I sang a song to the dolls. Then, just like Mother did before we climbed into our beds upstairs, I closed my eyes and said a soft prayer under my breath that they would be safe during the night. I placed them on the flannelette mattress Mother had made, which matched the nightgown I myself wore to bed. I made sure they were on their backs, the china doll on the mat at the foot of the crib and then I covered them

gently with the little blanket Mother had also made out a flannelette remnant. And then I checked each doll to make sure it was in what I thought was a comfortable position. Only then was I ready for bed. Often a miracle happened over the night. While I was asleep in my bed upstairs, I wouldn’t hear it, but when I got up in the morning, I would see that there had been a stirring during the night. I would marvel at the miracle before my eyes. My dolls really were babies after all. Hadn’t this just proved it? It would be many years before I could come close to explaining the miracle that I saw some mornings in the kitchen of that old log house. Was it a real miracle? Was it fantasy? Or was it my beloved sister Audrey, who was always out of bed long before me in the morning, who moved the dolls around so that her little sister would cling to a childhood dream for just a few years longer?

o me, my dolls were real little people. Babies, really. I loved every one of them and made awfully sure I treated each of them equally. All in like favour, as was the saying back then. There weren’t two alike. I had about six, all precious to me. They were all shapes and sizes, with some I could cuddle, as if they were real babies and had to be handled with special care. Although I tried not to show it, one of my most precious dolls was one I got as a surprise one Christmas. I had longed for it after seeing it in the Five and Dime Store in Renfrew, sure I would never have it. But there it was under the tree on that wonderful day back in the 1930s, when there was little money for such frivolity. One of my dolls was not one you could cuddle. First of all, I was frightened she might break. You see, her arms, legs and face were made of china. Aunt Lizzie had brought it all the way from Regina one year, not taking a chance on sending it in the hand-me-down box that came regularly filled with cast-offs her sons could no longer wear. This one came with a name already on a little tag pinned to her lacy dress. It wasn’t a name I would have ever

Little leagues to benefit from pro baseball push Attracting team would give young players heroes, role models, advocates say Dan Plouffe

EMC sports - The Kanata Blue Jays were an appropriate team to be playing at an event designed to bring a Double-A baseball franchise to Ottawa. Not only because the Champions for Ottawa Baseball group wants to attract a Toronto Blue Jays affiliate to the nation’s capital, but also because the young little leaguers present last week at Scott Tokessy Field are the prime example of a group that would benefit from the return of pro baseball locally. “Compared to when Lynx were there to now, it would certainly be fair to say that the numbers have declined (in little league participation) – not to the extent that we’re worried about baseball going away, but having that visibility in the community helps,” highlights Rob Rathwell, a past president of Kanata Little League Baseball Association and a board member for Little League Ontario District 2. “Kids will watch a game and say, ‘Hey, I’d like to try that!’ “Those kids are always looking for that player they want to emulate or that role model, or just wanting to play on the big diamond like the big boys. “We think (an Ottawa pro team) can do nothing but help boost registration and bring kids out.” The early-season contest – which the Kanata Blue Jays won 12-6 over their Kanata Dodgers counterparts to keep their record unblemished

through four league games – took place after the Champions for Ottawa Baseball announced they’d secured 3,102 (refundable) deposits towards season tickets. A major chunk of those purchases came from businesses that bought tickets for organizations such as Big Brothers & Big Sisters Ottawa who will be able to send some of their program participants to the ballpark. “There’s a lot of kids without a lot of money and they’re going to let them go to those games,” notes Kanata Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. “That’s worth a lot.” On top of the practical reasons to bring a team back to Ottawa, what Wilkinson likes best about the idea is that it will create hopes and dreams in young athletes’ minds. “It’s just like the kids with hockey. It’s going to have the same impact,” Wilkinson says, noting that having future pro football and soccer teams at the rebuilt Lansdowne Park will encourage youth participation in many sports. “The more we get kids out doing physical activity – it keeps them healthy, it keeps them involved and it keeps them happy.” The event outdoors near Kanata Rec Centre was a signature moment for a kid who grew up around the corner from Wilkinson and now carries a different type of sports dream. The founder of the Champions for Ottawa Baseball group is Kanata native David Gourlay, who led the

Dan Plouffe

The Kanata Blue Jays little leaguers kept their league record unblemished through four games with a victory on Tuesday, May 15 after an event where the Champions for Ottawa Baseball announced they’d secured 3,102 refundable deposits for season tickets to a potential Double-A baseball franchise in Ottawa. Tuesday, May 15 ceremonies that included many city councillors, along with Mayor Jim Watson. “He’s taken this on with a passion and zeal like nothing else,” Watson told the gathered crowd that was served free hotdogs by Nate’s Deli. “We still have a lot of work to do because of course we have not yet secured a franchise, but we think it’s a great step.” The Champions had set a goal of reaching 2,500 season ticket deposits, and Gourley wasn’t sure they’d get there early on when there was little momentum for his baseball

campaign with the Senators making their post-season drive on the ice. “You never really know what to expect when you start this,” explains Gourlay, who was very pleased to see the way the community stepped up in the end. “Now our job is to harness that passion and transform it into a force that brings us not only professional baseball, but a Toronto Blue Jays affiliate.” Being a Jays farm team is a key ingredient, Gourlay believes, noting the Lynx’ greatest success came when they were affiliated with the Mon-

treal Expos well before the former Triple-A club folded in 2007. There are also many fans in Ottawa who travel down to Toronto to catch games live, he adds. The benefit for local little league baseball could also be great, Gourlay highlights, since Jays’ Rogers ownership may potentially want to invest in Ottawa baseball at the grassroots level. In traveling from Navan to Stittsville for events in recent months – including a charity homerun derby with Jose Canseco at Ottawa Stadium – Gourlay has recognized there

remains a strong passion for the game in the city. “I’ve met all kinds of different people,” recounts the Champions for Ottawa Baseball founder whose group will now become a formal advisory board to those who can bring pro baseball to Ottawa. “You get the 70-year-old who still collects baseball cards, to people in the business community, to the Fat Cats supporters who aren’t convinced we need a new team when we already have one. “It’s been a great experience, and I’m looking forward to the next steps now.”

Memorial backed by community association Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A contentious proposal to create a mentalhealth memorial on the site where Nadia Kajouji’s body was discovered along the Rideau River garnered the support of the Old Ottawa East Community Association at a meeting on May 7. The proposal to mark the spot at Clegg’s Landing where the body of the 18-year-old Carleton University student was found on April 20, 2008 after she took her own life was met with some opposition at an initial meeting on March 13.

“For me, the important thing is the recognition of that story.” STEPHEN POPE

memorial and said that neighbours have told her “it feels like the flavour of the month.” Instead, Jarrett said she would prefer a rest and contemplation space that is “life affirming.” In the end, the community association’s board did settle on supporting a rest and contemplative area, but one that recognizes mental health issues. The financial contribution was approved in a 5-4 vote on May 7. Jarrett also expressed worry that the spot could become a space sought out by people intent on “copy-cat” suicides. Community association president John Dance said the police department in Aberdeen, Wash. said there have been no suicides at a high-profile memorial to rocker Kurt Cobain, who took his own life. The details of the permanent memorial haven’t been ironed out, but it could take the form of a seating boulder with a plaque or a memorial bench, which could cost be-

tween $2,500 and $5,000. The community association would contribute part of the cost. The spot is currently marked by a more makeshift memorial bench with items set up by Kajouji’s family. Kajouji’s mother, Deborah Chevalier, didn’t respond to requests for comment before EMC’s deadline. Old Ottawa East resident Claire McMenemy initially proposed the permanent memorial, but her family will be moving away from Ottawa soon, so she passed the project over to Pacella.

He was found guilty of aiding her suicide last year.

‘Win in life,’ Olympic champion tells high school students Kristy Strauss

kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC news - Elizabeth Manley proudly displayed her silver medal for figure skating to hundreds of St. Pius X High School students in the school’s cafeteria on May 15. But the medal, won during the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, means more to her than a win for Canada – for her, it’s a win in life. “This is my medal for life. I was exactly where you are today. I chose the right path and you can too,” Manley told the crowd of high school students. Building on the school’s recent Mental Health Awareness Week, the school invited Manley along with former superintendent Mike Bain, now the chairman of the Youth Services Bureau. Bain had the entire cafeteria on their feet when he asked those to stand who have dealt with mental health issues before and introduced Manley, who told of her struggles with mental health issues. With brothers who all played hockey, Manley grew up on the ice and attended Woodroffe High School as a teenager. “School was very difficult time for me,” she said, adding her parents got divorced when she was in Grade 9 and her mother struggled to make ends meet. “We struggled and had no money and to keep me in (figure skating), we had to give up a lot,” Manley said. “I didn’t have a lot of clothes, no makeup, just so we could pay a skating bill.” She also said what a tough time she

She showed students the silver medal she won at the 1988 Olympics held in Calgary, saying it symbolizes her win at life. had making friends since her schedule consisted of practicing skating, training and going to school during the morning. “I had no friends, no social life, no phones and computers. No connection to the real world,” Manley said. “I lived in a rink.” When Skate Canada called and

said they were sending Manley to the United States, she packed up her life and headed to Lake Placid. There she lived in the attic of a boarding house, where her depression continued. “I wanted to just disappear,” she said. “I unpacked and sat there the whole night and cried, and thought,

what’s happening to me?” She told the crowd of teens how her new training coach would tell her she looked fat, and she stopped eating to try and lose weight. But Manley said she kept gaining weight and even started losing her hair. She knew something was wrong,

and called her mom. “We found four bald spots in the back of my head the size of grapefruits,” Manley said. “We knew there was a problem.” She packed up, came back to Ottawa and after visiting numerous doctors she was diagnosed with clinical depression and a nervous breakdown – a diagnoses that was unimaginable at the time. “This was in the 1980s, where the term mental health you just didn’t bring up,” Manley said. “You didn’t want to hear the word.” When she began talking to a psychologist, she said she jumped at the chance to be helped. “I easily could’ve taken my life, or harmed myself, but I grasped the opportunity to get help,” Manley said. Even though she got help, Manley said she still faced critics in the weeks leading up to the Calgary Olympics and almost didn’t compete. But then, one day while she was practicing, the Canadian Olympic hockey team came to watch her skate, and didn’t say a word to each other. When she finished, the hockey coach approached her and said something that she couldn’t believe. “He said, ‘Our hockey team has their toughest game tonight and I needed my team to watch a real champion train,’ ” Manley said. “ ‘I needed them to be motivated by a real champion, so thank you for doing that.’ “We have a lot of hockey, football players, and some figure skaters here today,” she told the students. “Don’t let anybody ever tell you that you can’t do it. Win in life.”

EMC news – The Ottawa public school board has cut in half the distance its students must live from their school to qualify for a bus ride. The school board has harmonized its bus catchment area with the Ottawa Catholic school board for grades 7 and 8 students, moving from a three-kilometre perimetre to a 1.6-kilometre perimetre. Starting in the 2012-13 school year, grades 7 and 8 students in both English boards will fall under the same guidelines, harmonizing their policies through the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority. “It’s by far the number one issue we get calls in for,” said Orleans-Cumberland trustee John Shea. “It continues coming up at parent council meetings.” In 1998, the public board made changes to slow spending, and the change to busing catchment zones was made. It was a source of frustration for parents who had to drive their children to school or have them walk, while others in their neighbourhood received the option of busing. “It’s been a huge source of chagrin for many of the families in the east end,” Shea said. Boards share buses, though staggered start times mean that students don’t always share the ride with students attending other schools.

How to Navigate a Roundabout I look forward to the new roundabout being constructed in Bridlewood at the intersection of Stonehaven Drive and Bridgestone/Steeple Chase Drive. This is both the safest alternative and the most cost effective solution to the grid lock we have today. To improve awareness, City staff and I have begun an education blitz with local school. As the roundabout is being constructed over the summer, it is important to prepare the students for their ďŹ rst day of school this fall. The crossing guards at this intersection will remain when the school year commences, but we want to ensure that children know how to navigate a roundabout at any time. Over the next month, we will be presenting at various schools in Bridlewood where we have been invited to educate the students. We have also presented at the Bridlewood Community Association monthly meeting and the Stonehaven Manor. It is important for all residents to familiarize themselves with roundabouts.

Residents supplied these photos of debris following out-of-control parties in Sandy Hill on St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Neighbourhood residents spoke in favour of changes to strengthen the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noise bylaw.

City bylaw expected to target party hosts for noise complaints Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Booze-fuelled student antics are making Sandy Hill a nightmare neighbourhood, a city committee heard on May 17. Almost a dozen Sandy Hill residents came out in support of changes to the way the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noise bylaw is enforced, but many said there needs to be even more attention to fix the â&#x20AC;&#x153;free-for-all party destinationâ&#x20AC;? reputation Sandy Hill is gaining. Christopher Collmorgen, president of Action Sandy Hill, said 20 per cent of the total noise complaints in Ottawa come from Sandy Hill. Resident May Morpaw said the widespread tolerance of open drinking in the streets of Sandy Hill is leading to increasingly frequent and intense parties, including a neighbourhood-wide St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day bash that left the neighbourhood in shambles and included noisy

revelers throwing glass bottles off rooftops. Carl Martin, who also lives in the neighbourhood, said even longtime Sandy Hill residents had never seen anything like it. Another resident, Leanne Moussa, said she has called bylaw services only to be told, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What do you expect, living in Sandy Hill?â&#x20AC;? Camille Lachausseur, a Sandy Hill mother, said her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and ability to learn are being impacted by the constant nighttime partying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them to grow up thinking that this is normal behaviour,â&#x20AC;? she said. Lachausseur said there is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;double standardâ&#x20AC;? for young people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why is there a double standard for young people â&#x20AC;Ś if I walked down the street like this, I would be given a ticket,â&#x20AC;? she said. Lachausseur worried about Sandy Hill becoming â&#x20AC;&#x153;the next London or Kingston,â&#x20AC;? referring

to university cities that have recently experienced alcoholicfuelled vandalism. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans countered that noisy student parties arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a downtown problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The O-Train has transitioned our neighbourhood,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It started downtown and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primarily downtown, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moving out.â&#x20AC;? The bylaw changes will allow enforcement officers to issue fines to tenants, not just their noisy guests. Bylaw officers will also be able to carry batons after receiving new training. There will also be a pilot project beginning this year that will see a small group of bylaw enforcement officers assigned to work until 3:30 a.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays until September. Previously, bylaw services shifted responsibility for the issue over to the police after 2 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when many intoxicated patrons are heading home from bars.

Most of the comments the city received were in support of the changes, but some said the amendments donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go far enough. They wanted the city to fine landlords if their tenants are noisy. Linda Anderson, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bylaw chief, said it would be unfair to fine landlords who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live at the property because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the legal tools to evict noisy tenants. Tenants can be evicted if they disturb others in the building, but the tenant board could give them more chances. John Dickie, head of the Eastern Ontario Landlords Association, spoke in support of the changes, but said there wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be much point in laying bylaw charges on landlords, if the city tried to expand the rules in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our members want these problems to be solved,â&#x20AC;? Dickie said, adding, Council will still have to vote on the noise bylaw changes.

Please join me and many of your neighbours this weekend at the Hazeldean Mall parking lot for Kanata South Days presented by the GCCA. There will be midway rides and games for people all ages. Musical entertainment will be presented on the Cavanagh Construction stage both Friday and Saturday night across from the Don Cherryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patio beginning at 7:30 PM. There will be childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainment presented from 1:00 PM till 3:00 PM on both Saturday and Sunday afternoon. I had the pleasure of attending a number of events recently, including the community rally in support of the drive to bring â&#x20AC;&#x153;AAâ&#x20AC;? baseball to Ottawa. I would like to thank Mayor Watson and my council colleagues for joining me at this exciting event in Kanata South. I would like to especially thank the Glen Cairn skate club and the organizers for the wonderful tribute to my late son Jamie during their event. It warmed our hearts to know that he touched so many in his all too short life.

Community and housing services director Dan Sabourin and case worker Shawn Perrault at the downtown location for the Youth Services Bureau. Perrrault started with the Youth Services Bureau in January as part of the new Youth in Transition program for high risk, street-involved youth.

Youth in Transition program connects the dots for high risk youth brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news – The Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa has introduced a new program aiming to help its most at risk clients. Youth in Transition, a program that started up in January and run jointly with the Canadian Mental Health Association, matches high-risk clients – youth ages 16 to 24 – with a case worker who can help them navigate the network of services available citywide. “We weren’t able to support youth in the same capacity we are now,” said Dan Sabourin, director of community and housing services at the youth services bureau. Often, getting access to the proper mental health services could take “several years and a three inch ﬁle” Sabourin said. Youth in the bureau’s streetinvolved programs with mental health issues have issues with housing, and many with addictions and legal troubles. Trying to deal with the appropriate agencies can quickly weave into a messy web of phone calls and wait lists, appointments and professionals. Not to mention that many of the youth in the program have never been formally diagnosed with a mental-health issue because they haven’t seen a family doctor in years. When the youth services bureau took a poll of the youth living in their shelters and housing, they found 45 per cent reported having been diagnosed, or showing symptoms of mental health problems.

Eva’s Initiative, based out of Toronto, recently reported 54 per cent of those polled had mental health issues – and 84 per cent didn’t have the proper support available. With the Youth in Transition program, 20 Ottawa youth are now set up with a case worker who meets with them at least twice a week. With four workers who started in January, the program will be capped at about 45 clients. “I’m probably the ﬁrst professional adult they’ve trusted,” said Sean Perrault, who is one of the four workers. “These are the most marginalized youth we see, and we’re able to break down those walls.” Perrault works to untangle the web of agencies and appropriate services and make sure that the youth are referred to the proper people, while also providing counseling. “They feel that they’re

Real Estate Business Law Wills & Estates Environmental Law

taken care of,” said Sabourin. “Before, we would have just dealt with crisis management. There was so much demand on the system; workers were just doing their best to manage.” Many of the youth aren’t in a typical school system with guidance counselors or professionals to make the often-needed referrals to access help. That’s why the Youth in Transition program can be accessed through self-referral of youth coming to the drop-in clinic. A client coming to the centre for lunch, to use the computers, laundry facilities or other services would just have to wander a few feet to ﬁnd a staff member who could help them refer themselves into the program. The transition from a youth under 18 to a legal adult can often wreak havoc on clients who are already in the system,

which is why the program serves youth up to 24. Turning 18 can often start the waitlist process all over to gain access to appropriate services. “That year on the wait list can have huge impacts,” Sabourin said. While waiting, the case workers are staying up to date and making sure they still having counseling and accessing groups. Having a caseworker dedicated to co-ordinated, longterm care has already made a difference in many of the youth already in the program. Perrault proudly reﬂected on one of his clients, who entered a detox program and has stayed sober since. Sabourin mentioned another who was able to ﬁnish high school and get their diploma with the help of the case worker. “We’re inspiring hopes and helping these young people develop into proper adults,” said Perrault.

Give us a call or drop us a line when you need common-sense, cost-effective legal advice.

At the meeting there will also be an update on the zoning application for 2 the Parkway and on the application for a 10 to 15 storey apartment at the Teron/March Road intersection. Updates on other developments will also be provided. All residents are welcome at the meeting which starts at 7 pm on Monday May 28th in the Program Room of the Kanata Senior’s Centre, 2500 Campeau Drive. If you have a particular issue you can raise it at the meeting as well. JUANITA SNELGROVE PARK Last week together with Mayor Watson a plaque was unveiled at the former Sandhill Park to name it the Juanita Snelgrove Park. Juanita is a long time resident of Kanata and a member of the Pinhey family. She has been very involved in the Pinhey Foundation that manages the Pinhey estate on the Ottawa River and has volunteered in many ways over the years. It was particularly fitting to have the park naming ceremony last week since Juanita celebrated her 96th birthday last Sunday. With family, friends and representatives of the groups she’s supported present it was a lovely ceremony and fitting tribute to her. The City of Kanata had approved naming a park for Juanita prior to amalgamation but the park selected, adjacent to the Old Town Hall, was then traded with Minto for the part of Trillium Woods that Minto owned. Hence we had a park name but no park. Sandhill was selected as the alternative since the present Sandhill Road is a remnant from the original route to Ottawa developed in the early 1800’s and across from the park is the historic St. John’s Church and cemetery which is a part of the Anglican Parish of March (March Township was the original municipality in the area). Juanita is a member of that Parish and very involved with heritage matters so the location was a perfect fit. UNITED WAY COMMUNITY AWARDS I was pleased to attend these awards where individuals and groups who had made a difference in our City were recognized. Councillor Allan Hubley received the award for speaking out, in recognition of the tremendous contribution he is making in increasing awareness of youth mental health and suicide prevention. Congratulations and thank you to Councillor Hubley for his ongoing work in this field which is making such a difference to so many families in Ottawa.

Police Week officially welcomes new chief EMC news - New police Chief Charles Bordeleau got the pomp and circumstance of his official change of command ceremony at the Shenkman Arts Centre on May 14.  The ceremony was held later than usual, partially because of the availability of Senator Vern White. Organizers also wanted to hold the event during police week to celebrate policing, Bordeleau said.  He had already had his official swearing in ceremony on March 5, but received the formal Tipp Staff at the changeof-command. The Tipp Staff is a replica of the original, presented in 1863 to the first

police chief, Robert Ross. Several former police chiefs were in attendance.  The ceremony also included an official presentation of the Ottawa Police Service colours.  “It’s an honour for me to lead this police staff now into the future,” Bordeleau said. “Every day to wake up and to be the chief of police for the nation’s capital is such a huge honour.”  The formal inspection by the new chief included officers, civilians, volunteers and auxiliary officers.  He said his priorities are guns and gangs, domestic violence and traffic enforcement.  He indicated he also wants to encourage officers to con-

tinue work in schools educating students and parents about gang activity recognition. Bordeleau flagged the contiued creativity by officers conducting traffic enforcement, such as those who recently posed as homeless people to catch distracted drivers.  “The chief of police is one of the most important jobs in the city,” said Mayor Jim Watson, who was joined by Coun. Eli El-Chantiry.  White offered a formal address, reflecting briefly on his 31 years of service where he worked in 16 communities.  “I wish Chuck all of the luck he’ll need some nights,” White said. “I think he’ll do a tremendous job.”

Guide dogs work Fundraiser to repair for awareness at Riverside church roof open house Eddie Rwema

eddie.rwema@metroalnd.com

Emma Jackson

EMC news - Leaders at the Riverside United Church have begun raising money to repair the building’s old roof. The repair alone is estimated to cost $67,000 that will be split between the two congregations that use the church facility. For 42 years the United church has shared the roof with the Church of the Resurrection. The first of their many fundraisers is a concert to be held on June 23 from 7 p.m. “We are at 42 years in partnership with the Church of the Resurrection, which is amazing. We are one of the first ones in Canada to have a partnership like this,” said Wendy Graham, chair of council at Riverside United church. Blues and gospel singer Rev. Ernie Cox will headline the charity concert. He started out playing in bars and coffee houses — part of Sneezy Waters’ band in the early 1970s. Cox is a professional entertainer, who began his career as 0-0000 andInitial: a Docket: musician then went on Customer: HH to become a Baptist minister. Until recently, he was a

“It’s a common misconception that the CNIB (formerly the Canadian National Institute for the Blind) trains them,” Doucette said. In fact, the Guide Dogs training centre in Manotick brings clients from across the country to live at the centre for four weeks, where they train with their guide dog before taking it home. The training centre will be open to the public between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Visitors can enjoy tours of the training centre and kennel buildings, as well as guide dog and assistance dog demonstrations throughout the day. Although the event is free, donations are accepted and visitors are welcome to check out the many souvenirs in the gift shop. Doucette said visitors are also welcome to donate their soon-to-be-obsolete pennies. Pet dogs should be left at home. For more information call 613-692-7777, email events@ guidedogs.ca or visit www. guidedogs.ca.

EMC news – The Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is offering dog-lovers across the city a chance to meet some of the most loyal dogs in the country. The charity’s national headquarters and training centre is based in Manotick, and it will host an open house as part of Doors Open Ottawa on Saturday, June 2 for families to visit puppies in training and see working dogs in action. “It’s a chance to meet a lot of dogs, which everybody loves, but especially kids,” said special events co-ordinator Steven Doucette. “They’ll get to meet some puppies in our fostering program, working dogs, dogs in training.” Doucette said visitors will also get a few lessons in “guide dog etiquette” – like when you see a guide dog in harness, don’t pet it. He said the point of the open house is to raise awareness about the organization, and bust some myths about where guide dogs are trained.

Holland Avenue set for reconstruction this summer

Rideau Canal open all season Parks Canada to cut hours, season length in 2013 Staff

Kristy Strauss

EMC news – The length of the Rideau Canal season will remain unchanged for 2012. Environment Minister Peter Kent, who is responsible for Parks Canada, announced just as the canal was opening on Friday, May 18 that the world heritage site will stay open for its entire regular season until October 10.

kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC news - Residents checked out what to expect when reconstruction work along Holland Avenue begins this summer at a public open house held at Fisher Park Public School on May 16. The work to replace an existing water main on Holland Avenue between Scott and Tyndall streets is set to begin in early to mid-July, to finish by this fall. The water main was installed between 1908 and 1922. It will be replaced with a larger water main that will include tie-ins at Scott, Spencer, Armstrong and Tyndall streets and Byron Avenue.

“There’s going to be no on-road parking for clients.” LOUAY CHEBBANI

The project will also replace existing water services to properties within the construction limits, allow for two located sewer repairs along Holland Avenue, reinstate trenches from Scott to Byron for the proposed water main. Sidewalks will be replaced and Holland will be resurfaced

Kristy Strauss

Phil Reeve, consultant for JL Richards, tells residents what to expect during the Holland Avenue reconstruction. from Scott to Tyndall. Phil Reeve, a consultant for contractor JL Richards who was at the open house, said Holland Avenue will be reduced to two lanes with one lane going in each direction, and there will be no street parking during construction. Walking access will also be reduced when work is done on the sidewalks, he said. Louay Chebbani, who has a business on Holland Avenue, was at the open house and wanted to learn more about the impact construction will have. “There’s going to be no on-road parking for clients,” Chebbani said, fearing this would have an effect on his

business. Reeve said the construction will result in wider sidewalks and workers will try to limit any disruptions. However, water might be shut off for short periods of times to surrounding homes, he said. Area residents will also be issued parking passes when workers are physically putting the pipe in underground, since they will be unable to access their driveways, Reeve said. For more information or to submit comments, please contact Carolyn Newcombe, senior project engineer, infrastructure services, at carolyn. newcombe@ottawa.ca or 613580-2424 ext. 28230.

Parks Canada will work closely with local stakeholders... to minimize, where possible, the impacts of these changes. ENVIRONMENT MINISTER PETER KENT

In April, a Parks Canada memo outlined the need for drastic changes to the Rideau Canal’s operations, including cuts to season length, operating hours and staffing, to make up for a $29.2 million budget cut. It was unclear at the time when or how those changes would take affect. Kent’s announcement is not a permanent resolution, however, and he said the canal season will still be altered in

The Rideau Canal will stay open for its entire 2012 season, although cuts are promised for the 2013 season. 2013. “As the government implements changes to next year’s navigation season, Parks Canada will work closely with local stakeholders, members of Parliament and partners to minimize, where possible, the impacts of these changes on neighbouring communities and partners in the tourism community,” Kent said during his announcement. Communities along the corridor have expressed dismay at the budget cuts, because their tourism industries depend on the canal.

Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre said in a statement he was happy with Kent’s announcement. “I am pleased that the communities in my riding will now have the opportunity to consult with Parks Canada before any changes are made (to) the navigation season along the historic Rideau Canal,” he said. Parks Canada spokesperson Carol Sheedy said in April that while services have remained the same, boater traffic has decreased by a third in the past 25 years, driving the per-boat cost up.

EMC news – An Ottawa man who was temporarily paralyzed in a swimming accident plans to bike 150 kilometres in a fundraiser to help local people with spinal cord injuries. Steven Dionne used to bike 150 kilometres a weekend easily as part of his job as a bike team paramedic. But after a summer cottage accident almost two years ago, when his friends pulled him from the water, facedown and unconscious, no one thought he would be back on a bicycle. He jumped off a Muskoka dock into the lake, and despite travelling back to the site last summer, has no idea what he hit that broke his neck. “The next thing I knew, I woke up floating facedown, from the shoulders down paralyzed,” he said. He was taken by helicopter to the Ottawa Hospital from Hunstville, Ont. still unable to move most of his body. Doctors gave him a 10 to 20 per cent chance of ever getting any function back below his shoulders; Dionne had a burst fracture in his C4 vertebrae in his neck and spinal cord. It

from the Canadian Paraplegic Association, and as the foundation grows, hopes to be able to fund full wheelchairs and more costly equipment. With plans in the works to make the soccer tournament a large-scale event with fundraising aims of at least $10,000, the two-day bike ride will help kick start momentum and raise funds to cover the overhead costs of growing the tournament. He decided on the two day, 150-kilometre ride “to attract the average Joe” who might not have the training to do a

than arms or trunk, and he spent months in full-time physical therapy at the rehabilitation centre. The Louis Riel high school and La Cité collégiale graduate had switched careers paths into financial planning shortly before his accident and recently returned to work part-time from home, which allows him to stay up to date with his current physiotherapy and training. He’s able to be active, but not in the same ways that he was before. Dionne can play soccer and ball hockey casually with friends who know he can’t take any contact, but “biking has been the physio of choice,” he said, which is why he will be riding 150 kilometres with supporters and friends June 2 and 3 to raise money for spinal cord injury victims. He ran a soccer tournament at Colonel By High School last September to raise money for the foundation he created, called the Steven Dionne Foundation. The foundation helps area spinal cord injury victims with various costs, like wheelchair parts or specialty home equipment. Dionne funds referrals

CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR to CONTROL WEIGHT By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner.

STRESS & ANXIETY By Dr. C. Hammoud, M.H., Ph.D.

< Recommended for its calming relief from chronic stress, anxiety, chronic fatigue, lack of motivation, inadequate feelings, compulsive disorders, eating disorders.<Helps to restore adrenal balance, mental well being. True evidence (Skeptics can call these people):

< For about 3 years I was stressed out. After starting #66 I’ m fine. I don’t get headaches anymore caused by stress. I’m more effective at work. I’m amazed. It changed my life around. Gerasimos Kallimikos, 25, Astoria, NY < At times was completely non-functional. After taking 2 capsules within 1 hour “the fog had lifted”. I take some daily and had no relapse for 4 months. Maureen Lavallie, 67, Red Deer, AB <No sedatives needed anymore. After taking #66 I felt a calm sense of being not sedated as before but full of energy and able to cope balancing my many jobs, children, household and going to school. Highly recommended! Diane Lovato, 54, Norwalk, CA <I have tried other calming products. for 10 years. Bell #66 is the best. OwenA.

Heartburn Reflux

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, pasta, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy # 7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box.

< Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC < Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all #39 family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA< Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL < Suffered with reflux, choking and coughing. After starting Bell #39 I feel great. Amazed about the complete relief. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Katarina Tusa, 63, North York, ON <Was sleeping sitting up to avoid reflux. I thought I had this health problem for life like my other family members. Bell #39 brought quick relief. Can sleep now normally, have more energy, feel great. Bell products are quite different. Virginia Grant, 67, Markham, ON Hundreds more people on the Bell website.

ARTHRITIS

Pain free in 2 weeks!

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products, physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the American food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let activists confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100’s of testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples:< Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions #1 suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON <My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA<I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON<Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK.<For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC<Others write: Can walk again for hours…Climb stairs without hanging on to railing…First time in 15 years can sleep at night…Rheumatoid pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister. No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee. In other towns try your local health food stores first.

Three local yards will bloom during garden tour Theresa Fritz

theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC events – Get a glimpse inside three unique country gardens in West Carleton June 3. That’s the day for the Ottawa Botanical Garden Society’s (OBGS) Country Roots Garden Tour. The event takes place rain or shine between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. The cost is $15 if you are a member of the OBGS and $20 if you are not. “The Ottawa Botanical Garden Society, every once in a while, holds a tour. Last it was a tour of 12 gardens known as ‘Over the Hedge’,” explains, Kate Harrigan, in charge of programs for the OBGS. “This is just a smaller one.” The gardens on this year’s tour are country gardens from

Fitzroy Harbour, Carp and Dunrobin and each one has been selected for its unique characteristics. The gardens include Lynda and John Soper’s at 5124 Stonecrest Rd in Fitzroy, Carole and Phil Reilly’s at 3328 Diamondview Rd. in Carp and Norma and David Davidson’s property at 2470 Dunrobin Rd. Dunrobin. Harrigan said each garden features it own unique characteristics. “The Sopers live on rock basically and what is most interesting is seeing how they worked with that rock,” she notes, adding their garden was featured in Ottawa Magazine in April. The rocky landscape has provided immense limestone slabs and huge granite boulders which have been used to

form perennial beds containing hosta, astilbe, primula, iris, campanula and many other genus. As for the Reillys, their garden was formerly Reilly’s Country Garden and Harrigan says they have a groundmounted photovoltaic solar electric generating system. These extensive perennial gardens have evolved over the past 35 years and served as a specialty nursery for 25 years. This one acre rural property contains 30 garden beds with about 2000 varieties of hardy

perennials and ornamental shrubs. The garden now boasts a 350 square-foot greenhouse over part of the vegetable garden with a passive solar energy collection system to warm the soil and extend the growing and harvesting season. The Davidson’s 106 acre property has something for everyone. Wood chip pathways encircle the natural pond near the arbour covered in trumpet vine, bittersweet, clematis, and climbing roses that twist around tree swallow houses. The woodland garden

is a shady delight of hosta, primula, rhododendron and azalea, populated by a village of fairy statuary. “They have 5,000 new trees on their property,” notes Harrigan. “People might be interested to see what you can do with large property.” Attendees are reminded to bring their cameras to remember the beauty and hosts will be on site and willing to answer questions during the tour. “It is so much fun to see what can be done with a prop-

erty,” Harrigan says. “It is nice to see that whole creative process.” “There are so many beautiful gardens out there,” Harrigan says of West Carleton. “We hope people will come out.” The tour is self guided and attendees can visit the gardens anytime between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Maps to the gardens are located on the OBGS website at www.ottawagarden.ca. Tickets can be purchased on site at any of the gardens the day of the event, or by visiting the website.

Rideau Canal to stay open all season STAFF

EMC news – The length of the Rideau Canal season will remain unchanged for 2012. Environment Minister Peter Kent, who is responsible for Parks Canada, announced, just as the canal was opening on Friday, May 18, that the world heritage site will stay open for its entire regular season until October 10. In April, a Parks Canada memo outlined the need for drastic changes to the Rideau Canal’s operations, including cuts to season length, operating hours and staffing, to make up for a $29.2 million budget cut. It was unclear at the time when or how those changes

Ottawa Valley Tours

would take affect. Kent’s announcement is not a permanent resolution, however, and he said the canal season will still be altered in 2013. “As the government implements changes to next year’s navigation season, Parks Canada will work closely with local stakeholders, members of Parliament and partners to minimize, where possible, the impacts of these changes on neighbouring communities and partners in the tourism community,” Kent said. Communities along the corridor have expressed dismay at the budget cuts, because their tourism industries depend on the canal.

Summer repairs coming for Highway 174 Overnight lane closures to be in effect from July until late November Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Summer is often referred to as construction season, and it will be no different in Orleans.

Hwy 174 is set to undergo fixes on 200 joints, and full resurfacing between the split and Montreal Road. “The new city council is taking the problems with

Hwy 174 seriously and is committed to reducing commute times for Orleans and Cumberland residents,” said Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais.

Work is scheduled for evenings and weekends; lane closures are planned for 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. on weekdays, and 9 p.m. to 10 a.m. on weekends. The construction period is

planned for July until late November. An inquiry was filed last summer at city hall regarding the status of the problems with the highway. It was said that the area is a challenge because of the way the road was constructed.

Quoting a response to his inquiry, Blais said “the two interior lanes in both directions run over a concrete base. This base has moved at many of the joints and has resulted in an uneven riding surface. These breaks, if left untreated, will result in accelerated deterioration and could pose safety risks.” The project is being funded as part of the Ottawa on the Move capital works program.

The pedestrian bridge over the Airport Parkway should have already spanned the road, allowing pedestrian and cyclist access to either side. However construction has been delayed, and the bridge wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open in June as earlier planned.

McRae concerned by parkway bridge construction delays Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news - River Ward Coun. Maria McRae wants the Airport Parkway pedestrian bridge built as quickly as possible to provide residents with a safe passage to cross in the South Keys area. Construction crews began demolishing the incomplete pedestrian bridge after the work crew began experiencing problems with the concrete. Last month McRae sent an email to city councillors informing them that city staff and the contractor, Louis W. Bray Construction Ltd., agreed that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;most expedient solutionâ&#x20AC;? would be to tear down the existing main tower, which is a curved, A-frame support with a circle cut out to echo the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logo. McRae said the bridge delays have denied residents a piece of infrastructure that they should be using now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It represents lack of a safe passage into a very busy transit hub, into a recreational area for walking and cycling and also denies people access to the shopping area,â&#x20AC;? said McRae. Though the city has not yet released an updated completion date for the project, McRae said the preliminary schedule presented by the

contractor anticipates that rebuilding of the new main tower to its current stage will begin towards the end of May and take approximately 12 weeks. The Hunt Club Community Association said it has been left in the dark on the progress of the project since the city first announced it was going to tear down the main tower of the Airport Parkway pedestrian bridge last month. Association president, John Sankey said the association has been left guessing about the progress of the project. However, Coun. McRae said the city has been transparent about the contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deficiencies with the bridge and has issued updates both to residents and the association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To that extent I issued a letter that was mailed to 13,848 residents in our community with an update,â&#x20AC;? said McRae. In her letter, McRae said she is committed to ensure that the connection is built in a safe and timely fashion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If anything changes weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep updating the community as we have done for years.â&#x20AC;? The bridge was supposed to be open for pedestrians and cyclists to travel from Cahill Drive West and the South Keys plaza last fall, with final

landscaping touches planned for this spring. City spokeswoman Jocelyne Turner said the city would be providing timelines of the project once the demolition is complete. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this time we are still waiting for final timelines from the contract,â&#x20AC;? said Turner. Commenting on the demolition, Sankey said his community was upset by the delay of the project, but at the same time relieved because the concrete was far too badly damaged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very relieved that the company decided that they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fight that decision but instead build it properly,â&#x20AC;? he said. When finished, the approximately $5 million pedestrian bridge will be a state-ofthe-art piece of architecture, designed in part to provide a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wow factorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for visitors entering the city from the Ottawa International Airport. During his monthly live chat moderated by the EMC, Mayor Jim Watson said most of the bridge was already down when he last passed by it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be rebuilt and there will be no extra cost to taxpayers - it will be handled by the contractor.â&#x20AC;?

EMC news - There has been a significant reduction in home break-ins and home burglaries in Ottawa, thanks to the neighbourhood watch program, say Ottawa police. While launching the Shearwater Court neighbourhood watch program on May 16, deputy police chief Ralph Erfle said they consider the program one of one of the most important crime prevention tools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are having the impact on the reduction of break-ins and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keep the momentum going,â&#x20AC;? Erfle told residents. Shearwater Court is a neighbourhood home to 74 families with more than 225 residents who have identified a need to bring a neighbourhood watch into their community. The program provides a sense of security for individuals or families who leave their homes for any length of time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program will help to co-ordinate the efforts of the police service and the community in tracking down criminals,â&#x20AC;? said Linda Dubois, president of the Shearwater Court Tenants Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Few people are in a position to protect their homes and property all the time.â&#x20AC;? Dubois said the initiative aims to get residents actively involved in discouraging and preventing crime at the local level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A police officer patrolling the community will not recognize a stranger in your yard

Last week was police week, dedicated to increasing community awareness and recognition of policing services and striking partnership between police and the community. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Leading the way to a safer tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Erfle added that the ultimate success of neighbourhood watch depends on cooperation between area residents and police and more importantly between residents themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been very fortunate that the volume of break-ins keep going down year by year, thanks to neigh-

bourhood watch programs,â&#x20AC;? he said. Dubois hopes the program with make their community less inviting as a target for thieves and any other criminal activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When neighbours get together and cooperate with police services - crime can be reduced,â&#x20AC;? said Dubois. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through the active participation of citizens in crime prevention, the opportunity for crime to occur is reduced.â&#x20AC;? In the past there have been break-ins in the areas of south Ottawa with suspects using recycle bins, chairs or anything they can use to access windows. In most of these incidences, the windows are either unlocked or the suspects force them open.

The Royal talks battling operational stress injuries Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC news - Bill served in the Canadian Forces for decades and just recently learned he suffers post traumatic stress disorder and battled depression. Alana, a 37-year-old who served in the Canadian Forces reserves, had a life threatening accident during a scuba diving training exercise. The experience also left her with post traumatic stress disorder. Bill and Alana, whose last names were withheld to protect their privacy, are clients of the Ottawa Operational Stress Injuries Clinic, and shared their battles with mental health during the Royal Ottawa Mental Heath Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Conversations at the Royal talk that focused on OSI. The talk also included professionals in the field, including Dr. Jakov Shlik and Michele Boivin, who work at the clinic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Operational stress inju-

ries are psychological injuries caused by combat, law enforcement or other operational and service-related duties,â&#x20AC;? said Shlik. He also pointed out how these injuries can cause traumas like fatigue, depression and anxiety disorder. At different points in history, these injuries were given different labels, he added. For example, he said these injuries to the mind were referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;solderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartâ&#x20AC;? during the American Civil War, â&#x20AC;&#x153;shell shockâ&#x20AC;? in the First World War and â&#x20AC;&#x153;battle fatigueâ&#x20AC;? in the Second World War. Shlik also talked about a soldierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homecoming, for example, and how OSI could cause distress, insomnia, dreams, anger and reliance on drugs and alcohol. Boivin spoke about the treatment OSI clinics offer to clients and said patients are exposed to multiple traumas that have to be treated on an individual basis.

Alana, a client of the Ottawa Operational Stress Injuries Clinic, talks about her struggle. However, she said there are barriers to seeking help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a stigma,â&#x20AC;? Boivin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still more work to be done. People often tell us theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re concerned about what their colleagues will think and what impact it will have on

their career.â&#x20AC;? She also said many donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe full recovery is possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They think, I just have to learn to live with the symptoms and it becomes their new normal,â&#x20AC;? Boivin said.

Alana, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a client at the Ottawa clinic, said she never thought post traumatic stress disorder would happen to her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believed it happened to other people, but it definitely wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen to me,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I had an accident

at work that threatened my life and left me partially brain damaged for a year.â&#x20AC;? After that year was over, Alana started feeling as if the accident was her fault. She said she withdrew from her friends and family â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even her son. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just the lady who made his lunches in the morning,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was kind of like I was hibernating and waiting for my life to just pass.â&#x20AC;? Bill said his trauma had affected his personal life, with the most prevalent emotion being anger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t differentiate between military and family,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go home and my girls would look at me and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dad, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not your soldiers.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Bill also said he still has trust issues and it is something heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a long way to go,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that breaking the stigma is important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People need to know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not alone.â&#x20AC;?

Boot camp taking aim at world record Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Making lifechanging fitness choices and setting a new record will be the theme of the day when hundreds of gather on Parliament Hill on June 9 for the Great Canadian Boot Camp. Katherine Robitaille, an Ottawa fitness trainer, is helping to organize the event with Paul Plakas, the star of Canadian fitness shows X-Weighted and Taking It Off, who will be in town holding a seminar called Lean, Fit and Pain Free in the 21st Century. Following the seminar, the pair will lead the Great Canadian Boot Camp and are hoping to draw more than 317 people in order to break the Guinness World Record for largest boot camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be great knowing that you contributed to breaking that record?â&#x20AC;? Robitaille said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ottawa is a very fit, outdoorsy city and I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great moment for us to

shine in front of no better backdrop than our Parliament Hill.â&#x20AC;? The event promises to push people, but in a good way. The sequences of exercises in a boot camp are timed rather than given a set of reps, so that one person who is very fit can train next to someone who is just beginning, as Robitaille explains, everyone uses the allotted time to their own personal capacity, working at their own level and their own pace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Put simply, one can expect to have a great experience in the open fresh air, moving their bodies in ways that feels good for them,â&#x20AC;? Robitaille said. The boot camp is open to the public and is a free event. The seminar costs of $99 per ticket, but the fee is to cover the cost of the venue and Plakasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; flight. Plakas will be donating any profits from the seminar to charity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you look at what we

ment Hill event. For Carter, who has lost more than 45 kilograms since she started her own weight loss journey, boot camps are more than just a workout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was overweight all my life and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really see it as a big deal,â&#x20AC;? Carter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I decided to start losing weight I was really lost about what to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how lost until I attended Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Plakas) boot camp ... I am happy to say that because of the boot camps I have attended and the things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned from Paul, I have been successful reaching my weight loss goal, kept my weight off and am now living an extremely active, exciting life, doing things I never would have thought possible.â&#x20AC;? Carter will be at the seminar next month and said she is looking forward to it as much as her very first one. Tickets for the seminar can be purchased online at www. fit-anywhere.com. The boot camp will go on rain or shine. In the instance there is severe weather, the camp will be held indoors at the Chateau Laurier.

Robitaille said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to offer it all for free, but our room at the Chateau Laurier isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t free, nor is Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flight from Alberta free either.

The boot camp event is free, however â&#x20AC;&#x201C; events at Parliament Hill are restricted from charging fees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the setting for the challenge was important, Robitaille said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really want to have The Great Canadian Boot Camp there as this setting is perfect,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So instead of having the boot camp in our room at the Chateau and limiting the capacity, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving it there in the hopes that it will make this a great Canadian event.â&#x20AC;?

The Ottawa Farmers’ Market, shown at its old Lansdowne Park location, is experiencing a bit of a parking crunch at its new home at Brewer Park.

Parking a challenge at Brewer Park market location Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Only weeks after taking up residency at Brewer Park, organizers of the Ottawa Farmers’ Market are finding the biggest headache is the lack of parking at the new location. The market opened at Brewer Park on May 6 after moving the original location at Lansdowne Park. Market manager Linda Cook has been watching closely to ensure all shoppers enjoy their visit to the new location, including keeping a close eye on parking issues. “It is only the first few weeks and there have been some parking issues, but (customers) are getting it,” Cook said. “It is not too bad in the morning (but) Brewer Park is a busy park. It is only going to get more congestion as the day goes on.” The market is working with Carleton University to provide free parking passes and Cook is encouraging shoppers to take advantage. “The best thing is to download the parking pass, print it out and put it in windshield and go straight to Carleton,” Cook said. Close to the canal and Bank Street, biking, walking and public transportation all remain viable options, she said. Residents in Old Ottawa South have been quick to warm to the new Sunday market in their neighbourhood. “It has been fabulous, they have been pouring in from Old Ottawa South,” Cook said. Captial Coun. David Chernushenko, who is an Old Ottawa South resident himself, said it has been delightful to have

the market so close by, but acknowledged he has heard about the parking concerns, too. “Well as a resident, it is nice to walk out the door,” Chernushenko said. “And I have heard a lot of positive comments, but it hasn’t come with out challenges and I hear that as a councillor and as a neighbour.” Chernushenko’s own home is further away from the immediate traffic concerns, but he has heard from a number of people about the traffic. “Now my challenge is to get as few people to come out with their cars, to try and get as many people to leave the car at home,” he added. An avid cyclist, Chernushenko said there are excellent cycling routes for people to take and if people do need to drive to go straight to Carleton. “The designated spot is at Carleton University, spare everybody, including yourself any trouble and go straight there,” Chernushenko said. All in all, Chernushenko is happy the market remained close to Lansdowne Park. “Markets are gathering places, you see neighbours and get time to talk to each other and there aren’t enough of those,” Chernushenko said. There are a number of upcoming events at the market, including a sample tent. Cook was happy to announce Sparky and Winston, two Clydesdale horses, are back pulling a wagon through streets of Old Ottawa South. The market is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the parking pass can be obtained by going to ottawafarmersmarket.ca.

Local carver promotes spiritually based design Eddie Rwema

eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – Nyoman Sumerta doesn’t like to sit around doing nothing. The 38-year-old Hunt Club resident, moved to Canada from the small Indonesian island of Bali, six years ago. As a newcomer in the country, Sumerta has struggled to find a job without luck – but he now says that is no longer a problem. “Everywhere I go, I make sure I take my carving tools with me. At least they make busy and with them I can make money,” said Sumerta. Raised in an artistic woodcarving community in the centre of Bali Island, from a young age Sumerta learned how to carve and design creative works in many types of wood. “I started woodcarving when I was 11 years old. It is part of our tradition and we learn it from our elders,” he said. Now, he has turned his carvings into spiritually-based designs and he is likely to be the only Balinese carver actively designing and practicing in Canada. Sumerta can turn wood into pieces that are hand-carved and inspired by Balinese culture, nature, spiritual images, and even native Canadian designs. For the past few years he has lived in Canada, Sumerta has recycled pieces of wood from old furnishings and people’s “junk” and turned it into something artistic. “He can do some great refurbishes to old pieces,” Sumerta’s wife Julie said. “Each piece he does is unique and one-of-a-kind, using the same type of hand tools from Bali that he was

trained on 30 years ago.” Julie met her husband in Bali, when she worked in Indonesia as a yoga teacher. “If there is anybody there with unwanted wood, he can really make a good use of it,” Julie added. Sumerta takes his inspiration from yoga, Balinese Hinduism and classical Indian motifs. He currently works with all sorts of woods and, in many cases, it’s reclaimed. “We get reclaimed wood from people all the time, we get the wood from nature and we buy it when we have to,” said Sumerta. He said he never works in exotic endangered woods unless the wood is reclaimed. “We try to be as sustainable in that regard as we can.” Sumerta said he can take an old table top or a piece of wood that’s been sitting in the back of someone’s garage and make something beautiful out of it, said Julie. “Seeing him work is hard to explain,” she said. “For me to sit and watch, not only the evolution of him as a carver but the evolution of each carving, it’s just mind blowing that he can have such a talent.” Sumerta has sold his artwork to clients from all over the world, including an original design for the Royal Ontario Museum’s traveling exhibition of South Asian art, “Ornamenting the Ordinary”. Even with few breakthroughs, carving in Canada has not been an easy ride for Sumerta. “It is very hard carving here especially when you have to do all your work from inside the house,” he said. In Bali, people work from outside, he said.

Like all newcomers he suffered culture shock when he arrived in Canada and one thing that he misses most is the village feel of a community. “It doesn’t matter what time of the year it is, you can walk down the street here and not see anybody. This really shocked me the first time I arrived here,” he said “I was asking myself where people are. There is no one around,” he said. “It is a totally different feeling.” Sumerta can be contacted through www.sumerta.com or at sumertadesigns@gmail. com.

Artist shares ‘impressions of impressionism’ EMC entertainment - Fortunée Shugar never led a typical life. She and her family were expelled from war-torn Egypt when she was just a little girl in 1956. She remembers living in a small motel room for almost three years with her family, and having no possessions “I think a lot of that shaped my way of seeing the world,” Shugar said from her Nepean home, where walls are covered with her art work. When she and her family moved to Montreal a few years later, she remembers how she started feeling alone as she had to learn English very quickly. “I think I always felt a little bit different than other people, because I came from a place so far away and so foreign to everyone,” Shugar said. While she doesn’t remember much of bombs falling and total blackouts that were commonplace in her native Egypt before she left, Shugar believes her vivid imagination stems from everything that’s built up inside of her because of that experience. That’s why through her art, the artist wants to create a feeling in those looking at her work and go beyond just the visual. “I don’t understand how it

Nepean artist Fortunée Shugar will have a solo exhibition called Impressions of Impressionism at the Foyer Gallery from May 30 to June 17. works, but something comes from somewhere and it goes through me and ends up on the canvass,” Shugar said. The feelings that ran through her when she traveled to the gardens of Monet and the asylum where Van Gogh rested and painted are the inspiration for her latest solo exhibit, Impressions of Impressionism, being held at the Foyer Gallery May 30 to June 17. “My intention was to bring out what was inside me when I was there and what I’ve been carrying ever since I was there,” Shugar said. “I was very, very moved.” Through impressionism, Shugar recreates what she saw when she visited these places in France and recreates her feelings of being there. When she arrived last summer to Monet’s gardens, she described how she felt she

was in a “magical place.” Through her art, she hopes those who see it will be taken to a different place too. “It’s not about understanding it, it’s about feeling it,” Shugar said. “It’s a different way of looking, it’s not only looking with your eyes, it’s using a different part of your psyche, a different part of you – if you just allow it to travel.” Shugar admits she used to be afraid of living the life of an artist and the uncertainty of work. But no matter what she was doing, she wanted to be creative – whether it was enrolling in an animation program at Algonquin College or designing clothes. “When you’re a creative person, it doesn’t just come like that,” Shugar said. “It has to mellow and stew somewhere in your heart and

soul until it’s ready to show itself. You can’t create on demand. It’s like a good stew – it needs to cook for a while, it needs to simmer, bubble up and eventually it all gels together.” She’s passionate about everything she does, including side jobs where she teaches art to developmentally delayed adults, children and holds cooking classes for children.

“That love of something, it just bursts out of me,” Shugar said. “I don’t do it for any other reason other than it has to come out.” For those interested, Shugar also has work on display at the Michael Gennis Gallery, a new art gallery in Westboro. “I’m starting to branch out a little bit,” she said. Shugar will also be at the Foyer Gallery during her solo

exhibit at select times for those who want to come in and meet her, including: • May 30, 6 to 9 p.m. • June 3, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. • June 6, 6 p. to 9 p.m. • June 16, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. • June 17, 2 to 5 p.m. • Or by appointment For more information on Shugar and her upcoming exhibit, visit her website at fortuneeshugar.com.

Manotick resident and bourgeoning filmmaker Dale Windle takes a break during filming his sci-fi thriller five storeys underground at the Diefenbunker museum in Carp. His first feature film is set in Falcon Lake, Man., but is being filmed in the Ottawa area. 22-minute comedy which is now on DVD and on demand in the US. He approached this first feature film as a kind of test run, to learn the process of making a feature-length movie. “I literally made a business decision to make a sci-fi thriller. I was driving along, I heard that story about the Fal-

con Lake incident on CBC, I researched it and I thought, ‘what a perfect way to inspire a story,’” he said. He said the film should be ready for release in July, at which point he hopes to have a Canadian distribution contract for DVD or even limited theatrical release. In October he will travel to California to

secure US licensing as well. As he still works full time with his IT company, he said he aspires to make one film each summer. Next year’s project is already in the works – a project he’s especially passionate about that features a recovered alcoholic living on the street, who discovers $2.5 million

in abandoned drug money. When he decides to take it, of course, his life is significantly affected, Windle said. This year’s sci-fi thriller will likely be shown at the Mayfair when it’s finished, Windle said. For more information about the film visit www.rulersofdarknessmovie.com/blog.

Cyclists set sights on vision research funding Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

The ride follows the Rideau River corridor, with rest stops along the way sponsored by local Lions clubs who will offer food, water, sports drinks and washrooms for the riders. Each rider must pay a $65 entry fee, and are required to raise $400 worth of fundraising before the ride. Alexanderson said the organizers are about half-way to their goal of $30,000, and have 66 riders signed up. That’s on par with last year’s participation of 67 riders. Alexanderson said she hopes to have 70 riders signed up by June 3.

In Toronto, a sister event that started a year before Ottawa’s ride attracts more than 200 riders every year. Between Ottawa and Toronto, the rides have raised $950,000 for the foundation since 2009. The Foundation Fighting Blindness was founded in 1974 to support research on treatments and cures for genetic visual impairments such as retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration. Since that time, it has donated more than $19 million to major eye research projects taking place

MR. EDICUS NEEDS TO GO ON A DIET

Sunday June 3rd, 2012

Edicus has to have a home where he will be monitored and can eat mostly wet food. In the sanctuary it is free feeding and it seems the carbohydrates are not agreeing with him and he is gaining weight rapidly. He is very handsome, also very affectionate and playful.. loves human company. Please take him under your wing and bring out his former slinky body... he needs your guidance and love and care... won’t you be his guardian.

Alexanderson said the community is encouraged to come out and cheer for the cyclists on June 3, and to make a donation to the foundation through the website. She added that cyclists should train properly for the event. “We do encourage cyclists to train so they are prepared and it’s safe for them, because it is a long distance,” she said. To register for the ride or to make a donation visit the website at www.cycleforsight.ca.ca.

Dr. Valerie Wallace is currently leading a $2.4 million multi-year project to investigate the potential of stem cell therapies to repair parts of the eye. Dr. Catherine Tsilfidis is using a $1.4 million multi-year study to develop gene therapies to help prevent retinal cell death, a statement said.

EMC news – Cycling alongside the Rideau River can offer some stunning views, and organizers of one charitable bike ride hope to ensure everyone can see the sights. The third annual Cycle for Sight in support of the Foundation Fighting Blindness, a Canadian charity that funds vision impairment research, will once again start and finish in Manotick and feature a 68-kilometre loop through Kemptville or a 107-km loop through Merrickville on Sun-

day, June 3. This year the cyclists will leave from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority rather than from Watson’s Mill, which event manager Jaime Alexanderson said will allow the organizers to host a bigger and better celebration for participants. “It gives us a kick-off location that’s open specifically for us on Sunday,” she said. Event organizers will provide a fully catered meal in the building, including complementary drinks and beer sponsored by Creemore Springs.

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!
