Group of five finishes in top 10 of national challenge Jessica Cunha

EMC news - A group of five Kanata students were among the top 10 finalists in the country for their experiment submitted to the Canadian Space Challenge.

The contest, hosted by the Canadian Space Agency, invited youth up to age 19 to design a science experiment using only the items available on the International Space Station. The winners of the contest had their experiments performed by Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield in space.

Laura Argue’s Grade 6 class at W. Erskine Johnston Public School in Beaverbrook submitted four experiments. The group of Olivia Lester, Sofia Sudo, Emma Keable, Shruti Nistandra and Dhriti Aravind placed in the top 10 out of almost 100 experiments entered from across Canada.

“Everybody felt excited,” said 11-yearold Emma.

The group thought long and hard about an experiment they could perform using only items found on the space station, such as a cotton handkerchief, socks, dental floss, plastic bags, tissue paper, markers and water.

A full list of the items available can be seen at asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/missions/expedition3435/science-challenge/items-at-school.asp.

Chamber considers name change Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - The Kanata Chamber of Commerce is looking to rebrand itself.

The organization wants to change its name to the West Ottawa Chamber of Commerce to more accurately reflect its membership.

This spring, the chamber, which represents the communities of Kanata, Goulbourn and West Carleton, sent out an email to members asking for suggestions on a possible name change.

Nearly all of them included the words “west Ottawa,” said Rosemary Leu, executive director of the chamber.

This is not the first time a Kanata organization has adopted the name “west Ottawa,” she added, referring to the West Ottawa Soccer Club, a league comprised of teams in Kanata, West Carleton and Goulbourn, and the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre.

Leu presented the proposal during a special information session held at the chamber’s office at 555 Legget Dr. in north Kanata on May 21.

After discovering that only 55 per cent of the chamber’s 400-plus member businesses are located in Kanata, the organization’s communication’s committee decided it might be wise for

a little creative rebranding, said Leu. “It started to become an issue that we are referred to as the Kanata Chamber, but we represent Kanata, Goulbourn and West Carleton,” she said. “We’re looking for a name that actually represents the geography.”

According to the chamber’s list of business locations: • 55 per cent are located in Kanata • 14 per cent: Goulbourn • 11 per cent: West Carleton • 10 per cent: Nepean • 6 per cent: Ottawa (preamalgamation boundaries) • 3 per cent: out of town businesses Kanata is a recognizable name within Ottawa, according to the communications committee, but outside the national capital region, Ottawa or west Ottawa is a more recognizable brand.

“They’re not going to instantly recognize the name Kanata,” said Leu. “The priority is we are ‘west’ first -- it’s to avoid confusion with the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber will present the proposal to change its name at a special meeting some time this summer.

The motion will pass if it is approved by a simple majority of its members, with at least 20 per cent of the chamber’s membership participating in the vote either in person or via proxy.

Blair Edwards/Metroland

Rosemary Leu, executive director of the Kanata Chamber of Commerce, outlines the reasons why the chamber is considering a name change to the West Ottawa Chamber of Commerce during an information meeting held in its office on May 21.

The date and location of the meeting are yet to be announced.

If the motion passes, the chamber will unveil its new name at its annual general meeting next September.

For more information, email communications@kanatachamber.com or call 613-592-8343.

The Kanata Chamber of Commerce serves businesses in the west end, providing support through networking opportunities, educational programming and events to its more than 400 members.

HISTORY

In 1980, the Nepean Chamber

of Commerce changed its name to the Nepean-Kanata Chamber of Commerce, operating for eight years under that title.

In 1988, Kanata and Nepean were split into separate chambers as divisions of the NepeanKanata chamber.

In 1991, the Kanata Chamber of Commerce became a separate legal entity. The Kanata Business Association also voted to dissolve and merge with the Kanata chamber.

In 2005, the Kanata Chamber of Commerce expanded its geographical area to serve the business communities of Goulbourn and West Carleton.

“When a stranger shows up at my door … I say no thank you. I just shut the door,” said Fahey. “If you have a hard time doing that, just don’t answer your door … you can choose not to.”

Some door-to-door scams reported to police include: • People saying they are a water company with the city and need to inspect a home’s water • Hot water tank salespeople • Alarm company solicitors • People who pretend to be lost, from a charity or lottery, repair person or utility inspector

EMC news - John Cher, president of the Kanata legion branch, almost fell victim to a mail scam.

He received a cheque in the mail, asking him to be a secret shopper at a well-known bank.

Cher walked into the bank and asked to deposit the cheque. The teller called out the manager, who informed Cher the cheque was no good.

It was part of a fraud scam.

The “mystery shopper” fraud, reported by the Kourier-Standard last December, targets people by sending them a letter containing a cheque from a well-known bank.

The letter asks the recipient to cash the cheque and transfer a portion of it to another account number provided by the company. However, the cheque is invalid and if cashed, the recipient is held responsible for the outstanding funds.

Cher was lucky the bank manager recognized the invalid cheque. Although it was never cashed, the fraudsters sent him more letters and called his house.

“The following day I get a letter by this organization saying they overpaid me by $2,000,” said Cher. “My mother said I was born at night, but I wasn’t born last night.”

He reported the fraud to the police.

Cher invited community police officer Const. Lori Fahey to host a presentation on seniors’ safety at the legion on May 22.

“Because a scam almost happened to me I was more interested in having this thing done,” said Cher. “I thought it was a good idea for our seniors in our area to have the same information.”

“Know your rights when someone comes knocking at the door,” said Fahey.

“There’s a lot of door-todoor solicitation in Kanata and Stittsville.”

Homeowners are well within their rights to ask someone to leave their property, she added. If the offending party doesn’t leave, call the police.

The community police centre in Kanata and Stittsville offers a free home inspection to ensure a house is as safe as possible. Trained volunteers will check the security of a home, such as visibility from the front of the house, said Fahey.

Carrying too much identification in a wallet can leave a person vulnerable to identity theft if the wallet becomes lost or stolen, said Fahey.

OHIP and Social Insurance Number cards, birth certifi-

cates are all items you don’t need every day, she said.

“Carry the least possible identification and never give out your personal information unless you know who you are giving it to and why.”

Dumpster diving occurs when people rummage through garbage at the curb to retrieve personal information, said Fahey. Shred documents before throwing them in the garbage or recycling bin.

“Monitor bank accounts and financial documents carefully,” she added. “Check your credit report.”

Thieves will look for a person’s full name, date of birth, address, mother’s maiden name, drivers licence number, bank account num-

bers and more.

“Protect your information as much as possible,” said Fahey.

People who feel their information has been compromised should contact their bank and/or credit card companies. Two national credit bureaus, Equifax and TransUnion, can place a fraud alert on your account.

Online, be aware of email phishing scams.

“Watch for spelling, grammatical errors, request for

passwords,” said Fahey.

“Never click on a link or attachment from someone you don’t know.”

Banks will not send emails, said Fahey.

The Competition Bureau has a Little Black Book of Scams, which “has every type of scam we’ve ever seen,” said Fahey.

The 30-page document can be found online at competitionbureau.gc.ca/eic/site/cbbc.nsf/eng/03074.html.

“Educate yourself to the

fact there are unscrupulous people out there,” said Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren. “The greatest protection of all is to be careful, be aware and look out for yourself and your neighbours.”

Bridlewood boy on track for train conductor job blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - When it comes to career choices, 12-year-old Alex McDougall has a one track mind.

For as long as he can remember, the Bridlewood boy has dreamed of riding the rails, an idea that was first planted in his head at the age of two, when his parents bought him a Thomas the Train set.

Over time, Alex’s collection of toy trains grew, including several Lionel model kits he ran over an O-gauge track set up on a three-by-two metre plywood table in his basement.

Picking out gifts for Alex were always easy, said his father, Bob. “If you want to give him a good Christmas or birthday present, you’ll give him a train ticket to Montreal.”

Earlier this month, Alex decided to find out if he had what it took to be a train conductor, when he attended a Canadian National Railway recruiting session held at a hotel near the Ottawa airport.

On May 17, Alex joined a group of 40 men and women

C

Alex passed with flying colours.

“I got 85 per cent,” he said.

“Only about half the people passed, so I was proud of myself.”

Alex’s dad also took the test – just for fun -- and passed, but just barely.

“I was proud of him as a dad to see him still sitting there when they asked those who didn’t pass into another room,” said Bob. “He was kind of happy that he beat his old man.”

But Alex will have to wait until he turns 18 before he can take the test for real and vie for a job as a train conductor.

During his interview, a recruiter told Alex he’d have to enjoy physical activity and working in the outdoors if he wanted the job.

At the end of the interview and tests, the recruiters gave Alex a set of CN merchandise, including a hard hat, safety gloves, and a safety vest.

for a series of tests and an interview run by CN recruiters Stephanie Seebeck and Christine O’Neil.

The company was looking to hire 600 people to conduct trains in western Canada, including Saskatchewan, Alberta and northern B.C. The compensation package was appealing – a train conductor earned an average salary of $85,000 a year.

Bob McDougall heard about the hiring fair, and had sent an email to CN, asking if his son could attend.

“I said I have this 12-yearold who is a train fanatic,” said Bob. “Initially they said no, but the people running (the event) in Montreal said yes.”

After an orientation session, the candidates were asked to complete an 18question switching exam; they were presented with a diagram of two tracks, a locomotive, some rail cars and a caboose, and were asked to rearrange the train in a minimum number of moves and switch tracks, while maintaining safety.

Those writing the test must answer at least seven questions correctly to pass.

TRAINS

Alex, a Grade 7 student at W.O. Mitchell Elementary School in Bridlewood, said he’s been a train buff for as long as he can remember.

“I like the size and speed and I like the distance they can go without having to stop, the convenience of having everything in such a small space while going far,” he said.

“I’ve been on trains many times.”

During one trip aboard a Via Rail train heading from Ottawa to Montreal, Alex was invited to take a tour of the train’s engines.

Bob, who was sitting in the passenger section at the time, remembers the lights flickering on and off.

Besides weekend jaunts to Montreal, Alex has travelled across Canada and the United

States, and has visited train museums in Montreal and Pennsylvania.

Every year, his family takes a trip Washington to Florida aboard an Amtrak train; during one visit, he checked out the train watching platform in Folkston, Ga., a railway hub for trains passing through Florida, where onlookers can listen to the interaction beR0012123146

Midway through lunches, I start calling son-the-younger to get up, using any kind of ridiculous incentive. One particular morning, following a trip to the dentist the day prior, I shout, “You need to get up so I have time to floss your teeth after breakfast!”

(As if any parent has time to floss their kids’ teeth twice a day, as the dentist recommends).

There’s no response from his downstairs bedroom.

We can’t yet go and retrieve him because we’re up to our elbows in oatmeal and veggie

peelings.

One of the adults sits down for breakfast, feeding the baby purees, which she manages to get up her nose, in her hair, in her ear, on the floor (and maybe the ceiling), and, of course, all over whatever clean outfit she’s just been changed into. The youngest child still has not emerged from the depths of the house.

Finally, a sticky butter knife in hand, I tramp down the stairs and shout, “Now, it’s time to get up. Let’s go!”

Generally about 10 minutes after 7 a.m. with just 12 minutes until we have to leave for the bus, the younger walks about as slow as he can go up the stairs, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, still in his pyjamas! “Are you kidding me?”

I send him down to get dressed, which triggers a

champion temper tantrum.

Miracles at work in our house, we just manage to get everybody fed, watered, dressed and somewhat clean, lace-up shoes on feet, sunscreen on faces by 7:21 a.m.

There’s a lot of yelling in the short two minutes preceding our departure.

We’re on our way out the door with two minutes to spare, when boy-the-younger decides he has to go to the bathroom.

I throw up my hands. There are some things you can’t control.

Son-the-younger emerges after washing his hands for what I swear is 90 seconds.

We run the two blocks to the bus stop, with me yelling, “No talking, no talking.”

And watch it go by without us.

The next morning we hit the repeat button. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for summer.

PREVIOUS POLL:

Should the death of a young rugby player force schools to take a second look at athletic safety in Ottawa?

Do you think a Senators playoff run helps to raise community spirit in Ottawa?

A) Yes. It is an oppotunity for teachers, coaches, parents and students to learn more about head injuries.

B) Yes. Hazardous sports like football, rugby and hockey have no place in the school system.

C) No. The teen’s death was a isolated incident and isn’t an indication of a wider problem.

D) Do we really need another reason to turn young people away from physical activity?

A) Definitely. Noth- 56% ing brings everyone in the city together like rallying behind our team.

B) I think it is a 31% wonderful time to be a hockey fan, but the rest of us just shrug it off.

C) No. I don’t think 0% sports are something that should be used to bind a community together.

D) I didn’t even 13% notice the playoffs had started. Is that what all the hubbub is about?

ave you ever seen the movie Groundhog Day, where the lead character, a weatherman played by Bill Murray, experiences the same day over and over again?

Well, as we get close to the end of the school year, I’m starting to feel like I’m living it – every morning at least.

And this is not a good thing.

Mornings at our house are, to use Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s favourite word, “ridiculous.”

Each day, relying on our infant as an alarm clock, my husband and I rise around 6 a.m. We can’t seem to get the kettle on fast enough for the pot of coffee. My eldest son scampers up the stairs cheerful as a cardinal in a treetop and talking at lightning speed about everything under the sun. My younger son pulls the covers over his head.

Once the caffeine hits the pleasure sensor in our brains, we are propelled into action – a rapid, interwoven dance around the kitchen – one person making breakfast, the other buried in the depths of the Tupperware cupboard. Let the chaos begin.

EDITORIAL

We all have won

T

he city recently wrapped up another successful Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend, an event that attracts more than 40,000 participants, not to mention the hordes of onlookers who filled the streets of downtown on May 24 and 25.

The statistics alone are staggering.

Ottawa Race Weekend is the biggest multi-distance race event in Canada and is one of only two International Association of Athletics Federations sanctioned events in the country.

Over the course of a weekend, approximately $28.7 million is pumped into the Ottawa-Gatineau economy -- not exactly chump change. Hotels book around 9,000 homes in the capital region.

Race organizers are responsible for collecting 427,000 discarded drinking cups and handing out roughly 25,000 sponges to sweaty participants.

It takes a volunteer work force of 2,000 people to help organize and run the races, including those who distribute water, run the information booth, and provide emergency services. Doctors, nurses, paramedics and other medical professionals volunteer their time, bringing enough equipment to set up a small hospital to service the event.

When you think about it, over the course of the

weekend Ottawa absorbs the population of several small cities -- and those people require additional city services, such as police, fire services and doctors.

Ottawa Race Weekend is a hallmark event that all the citizens can take pride in, a series of races with international repute, drawing some of the best athletes across the world.

How fitting that the event was kicked off with a marathon torch relay run from the village of Marathon in West Carleton to city hall - a 42-kilometre trek that matches the length of a marathon run.

The torch run was suggested by Greece’s ambassador to Canada, and the mayor of Marathon, Greece, travelled to Ottawa with two ceremonial torches for the relay run, giving the race weekend a little international polish. We can also take pride in the tremendous volunteer effort generated by the event.

Every year, runners participating in race weekend have raised more than $1 million, money that supports 25 charities affiliated with Ottawa Race Weekend. Ottawa Race Weekend celebrates what is best in our city and its citizens. Pheidippides, a Greek soldier who inspired the concept of a marathon after he ran 40 kilometres in 490 BC to report the victory of Athens over Persia before falling over dead, said it best: “We have won.�

Experts all thumbs when it comes to the keyboard

S

omeone is always trying to invent a better mousetrap, they used to say.

They don’t say it so much any more, now that I think of it. This could mean that the better mousetrap has already been invented, although I doubt it, to judge by the mice.

The better mousetrap, if it is to be invented in this day and age, will probably involve lasers and the use of social media, because every new invention does. Perhaps a mouse could be lured to his doom by invitations on MouseBook, there to be confronted by a laser launched by a drone triggered by someone’s cellphone.

Something you probably hadn’t thought about: the invitation on MouseBook would be sent by someone typing on his or her thumbs.

Which brings us, not very neatly, to today’s topic. Every few years someone tries to reinvent the typewriter keyboard, which is what computer keyboards still have. The time has come again. This time it’s researchers at a university in Scotland who say, according to news article, that the traditional keyboard has a “suboptimal text entry interface.�

This is mad scientist-speak for “you can’t type very well on it.� Except, of course, that you can. Millions, maybe billions, of people

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town over the years have used the traditional keyboard and found it quite optimal enough, once they figured it out.

They way they figured it out was by practicing it, after learning which fingers go on which keys. There were typing classes in school. The keyboard we all use is known as the QWERTY system, after the arrangement of the top six letter keys for the left hand.

QWERTY developed after it was discovered that the seemingly logical system of placing the keys in alphabetical order did not work well. If people typed too quickly the keys jammed up. Placing the most-used letters apart worked better.

For years, mad scientists have been trying to improve on it, arguing, not without logic, that QWERTY is inefficient. But, of course, Published weekly by:

DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES 'RAHAM "RAGGER 0UBLISHER -IKE 4RACY MTRACY PERFPRINT CA ADMINISTRATION: #RYSTAL &OSTER ADVERTISING SALES: 3ALES -ANAGER #ARLY -C'HIE CMCGHIE PERFPRINT CA

QWERTY is more efficient than other systems because people have learned how to use it.

Watch a fast QWERTY typist work and try to imagine anything going faster.

Some systems are inefficient but impossible to replace. How inefficient is, say, the French language, with all those genders? How inefficient is the English language, with all of those words that sound the same and are spelled differently? And how likely are we, the English- and French-speakers, to sacrifice our languages to efficiency?

Mad scientists who study baseball say that the way baseball players throw in an overhand motion is unnatural. The natural way is to throw a kind of combination of underhand and sidearm. You can see how much effect this has had on baseball players. Sometimes we do things just because that’s the way we do things. And it works for us. As it turns out, this latest attempt to eradicate QWERTY coincides roughly with the 20th anniversary of text messaging. The latest knock against QWERTY is that it doesn’t work well for people who type with their thumbs. The latest solution is to put the vowels on one side of the keyboard and the consonants on the other.

Now, since there are 21 consonants and only five vowels, that would make it necessary

to change some consonants into vowels for balance’s sake. In effect, the inventors of the new system, called KALQ, have done that, moving some consonants over to where the vowels are (and leaving the Y with the consonants, for some reason). The over-all effect, seen in views of the new keyboard, seems just as random as QWERTY but we are assured it is more efficient.

The philosophical question so far remains unasked: Is it in the best interests of humanity to make it easier for people to type with their thumbs? Next thing you know, everyone will be throwing sidearm.

With four players shouldering most of the floor

the final on May 1 and 2.

Under very trying circumstances Septemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lofty championship goal had been achieved.

EMC sports - The Bridlewood Broncos boys basketball team won the Ottawa public school board championship this month.

“We could only use what was on the list,” explained 11-yearold Olivia.

Dhriti came up with the idea to test capillary action – the ability of a liquid to move in narrow spaces without the help of external forces, such as gravity – after speaking with her grandfather, who lives in India, via Skype, an online video chat.

“Simple is always the best,” said 11-year-old Dhriti.

The group put water in a plastic bag, used a red marker to colour the liquid, and stuck a piece of tissue paper in the water. The experiment was timed for 60 seconds to see how far the water would rise on the tissue. On Earth, the water rose five centimetres.

The group’s hypothesis was that the water would rise higher in space “because on Earth there is gravity pushing down,” said Shruti, 11.

“In space there is no gravity,” said 12-year-old Sofia. “We wanted to see how much water would go up … the tissue paper in space.”

AMAZING JOB

Although their entry wasn’t

performed by Hadfield, the five students received a box of goodies from the space agency, which included a reusable space water bottle, a lanyard, stickers and patches, pens and an autographed photo of Hadfield.

“The group, as well as all my students, did an amazing job,” said Argue.

Each group had to create a video explaining their science experiment and upload it to YouTube.

The Beaverbrook group’s video, edited and uploaded by student Hai Yang Tang, can be seen here: youtube.com/ watch?v=VTiIQVzsYsg. “We were looking at the CSA (Canadian Space Agency) website in class and stumbled upon the Canadian Space Challenge,” said Argue. “I talked to my students about it and passed it by my principal and they were all a go. I think my students loved creating the videos to showcase their space experiments the most.”

The experiments fit in to the class’s space and Earth unit, said Argue, adding other projects submitted by her students included reflecting light through water to make a rainbow, building a paper helicopter and building a catapult.

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

A group of five students from W. Erskine Johnston Public School in Beaverbrook were among the top 10 finalists in the country for their science experiment submitted to the Canadian Space Challenge, hosted by the Canadian Space Agency.

The winners of the challenge were two Grade 10 students from Nova Scotia in the at

school category, and an 18-yearold from Mississauga, Ont., for the at home category.

Benefits of

Did you know that the fountain of youth may be right in your own kitchen? By boosting your latest recipes with antioxidant and enzyme rich foods like papaya you can add years to your life! Papaya contains carotenes, vitamin C and flavonoids, which all help to reduce the aging process and keep your skin glowing! Papaya also contains the enzyme papain which helps digest proteins.

Optimal digestion helps reduce inflammation which is associated with lifestyle diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and that dreaded belly weight! When you are adding papaya to your meals, don’t forget to toss in a few of the seeds. Their peppery and slightly bitter nature helps to protect the fruit from unwanted bugs and can help your immunity too!

You know exercise is good for you, but do you know how good? Want to feel better, have more energy and perhaps even live longer? Look no further than exercise. The health benefits of regular exercise & physical activity are hard to ignore. Check out these seven ways exercise can improve your life: § Controls weight § Combats health conditions & diseases § Improves mood § Boosts energy § Promotes better sleep § Puts the spark back into your love life § It can be fun The bottom line is that exercise and physical activity are a great way to feel better, gain health benefits and have fun. As a general rule, try for at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. If you want to lose weight or meet specific fitness goals, you may need to exercise more.

Antioxidants

Tip: if you are allergic to latex, be sure and check with your health care team, as avocados, bananas and papaya may cause an allergic reaction.

Preparation Time: 10 min | Freezer: Overnight | Serves: 2

Make this super easy papaya sorbet dessert for a cool and delicious treat. If you have very ripe papaya this is the perfect dessert recipe to whip up.

1 medium sized papaya 2 tbsp lemon juice ½ tsp of papaya seeds Cut open the papaya and scoop out the seeds. Keep aside ½ tsp of seeds. Spoon out the flesh and place in a food processor with seeds. Blend until smooth and place in the freezer until frozen. Let sit on the counter for 15 minutes to soften, then enjoy! Serve immediately or store in the freezer in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.

Uncle Lou’s visits were much like Christmas

D

idn’t he just get an award for working on the marble in the Waldorf Astoria in New York? We even had a chip to prove it. Uncle Lou it was who at least once a year descended on our farm out in Northcote to bring us unspeakable joy.

My mother’s brother, one of the four who made up her family, had no children of his own when we were youngsters and when he came it was like Christmas all over again, even though our Christmases back then were nothing to write home about.

Uncle Lou often came without telling Mother in advance.

She would much prefer if he would at least send us a letter that he was on his way. Then the house could be torn apart from top to bottom, so that everything shone like glass: our feather mattress taken off the bed upstairs, the felt one from Mother and Father’s bed hauled up to replace it, braided rugs beaten with the broom on the clothes line and the red and white checked oilcloth on the table in the kitchen replaced with a white linen one Mother had brought to the farm.

But when he came unan-

MARY COOK

who could never understand what all the fuss was about, would treat Uncle Lou like any other visitor who came out to the farm in Northcote.

That meant he would still

slurp his tea out of his saucer and sit with his feet on the oven door at night reading the Ottawa Farm Journal or the Family Herald and Weekly Star.

As the evenings wore on, Mother and Uncle Lou would talk about New York and the many years Mother lived there.

He would tell her about the changes: how the elevated trains went for miles and miles now and how a place called the Bronx was the place to live.

Mother would listen wide-eyed and ask questions and the talk would go on and on.

See UNCLE, page 20

Mary Cook’s Memories nounced, always on a Saturday, we knew he was on his way before he hit the yard. He would start blowing the horn of his big black Buick when he turned into our long lane and never let up until he came to a screeching halt at the back door.

Mother had time only to change her apron and smooth back her hair, and then she would cry. I could never understand if she was so happy why she would cry. My sister Audrey said it was from sheer joy. I thought he looked like he should be a member of Parliament. He always wore grey flannel trousers, pressed knifesharp and flannel shirts open at the neck. Uncle Lou was tall and as my sister Audrey once said, he even looks important.

We five children never took our eyes off the back seat of the big Buick. We knew for a fact that inside his big brown cow-hide

suitcases would be presents beyond belief. Always there were yards of silk for Mother and a new purse: big, with gold clasps and long handles. We had no idea how he knew our sizes, but each of us would get a new piece of clothing and everything always fit like it had been made for us.

Uncle Lou would first stop at a grocery store in Renfrew and there would be grapes, bananas and real ham, not like we had in the smoke house, but big slices -- thick and just right for sandwiches.

It would take ages to unpack the Buick. When it had been emptied, the brothers would carry the cow-hide suitcases up to the room my sister Audrey and I shared and Uncle Lou would take over the bed. We would move down to the creton couch in the kitchen.

Mother’s cheeks would be red as tomatoes and Father,

Uncle Lou brings joy to the household Continued from page 19

Uncle Lou had a wonderful singing voice and without fail, every night Mother would get out her harmonica and he would sing and she played.

Then she would set the mouth-organ aside and they would sing in harmony, songs they both knew. My very favourite was one called I Had a Dream Dear. I thought it was very sad, but beautiful.

Sometimes I would see a tear roll down Mother’s cheek when the

My sister Audrey said she was quite sure all important men did the same thing with their shoes when they took them off at night, but I couldn’t for the life of me ever see my father going to that trouble with the black laced boots he wore to church on Sunday. While Uncle Lou was visiting us we would have trips into Renfrew to the picture show at least twice during his stay.

We would have cracker jacks to munch on during the movie and always we stopped for ice cream on the way home at Briscoe’s

As you can see I am extremely handsome if I may say so ... friendly, loving, playful and healthy.. and I do need you ... why you may ask .... I want my own family, my own lap and my very special cuddles, hugs and kisses ... Plain and simple I want to belong to you and share my life with you. I do live with other cats, I am laid back and easy going ... would you consider to meet me and have a chat ... I am young at heart and body ... we can share many years together. Please call.

For adopting this or any other cat contact GWEN at 613-258-2622. Check out the Website www.countrycatrescue.com for available cats and more info. Looking for volunteers and foster families to help out with cat care. We are a registered charity.

Happy Father’s Day!

song was over.

I knew she would be remembering those happy years when she lived in the city she loved before she left for the backwoods of Renfrew County.

Even though Uncle Lou helped Father around the farm, he never seemed to get a mark on those grey flannel pants and shirt.

Every night, when he took off his shiny shoes, he buffed them with a cloth made especially for that purpose and he had wood forms he inserted into his shoes when he wasn’t wearing them.

General Store, which I was grateful stayed open every night until at least 11 p.m.

Too soon it would be time for Uncle Lou to pack up and head back to New York. Whole quarters would be thrust into each of our hands and I knew he would give Mother a few bills too which she would immediately put in the blue sugar bowl with her egg money. Everett would swing wide the gate going out to the lane and with the horn going full blast, Uncle Lou would spin the tires on the Buick and he was gone.

And there would be such a silence in the old log house, and I would wonder if it would ever be the same again. Mother would cry silently, wiping her eyes and blowing her nose into her apron, and that night our prayers would be for Uncle Lou’s safe trip to New York. And when it came time for our silent prayers each of us were expected to say before we left Mother’s knee, I would pray that Uncle Lou would return soon. It wasn’t only for the candy, the picture shows and the rides in the big black Buick, it was because his visit would bring Mother unspeakable joy and for a time, release her from the bonds that held her prisoner on that farm in Renfrew County.

Debunking myths about life insurance Life insurance is not a simple product. Trying to understand all the different options and their respective benefits can require confronting several well-entrenched myths.

work. “Group life insurance plans typically provide limited coverage, and the insurance often ends when you change jobs. It’s important to understand the extent of your coverage and fill in any gaps,” she says.

To help set the record straight and guide customers toward making the choice that best suits them, Cathy Preston, vice president, Life & Health, RBC Insurance, addresses the five most common misconceptions about life insurance.

And while many people believe their investment dollars can be put to better use elsewhere, as Preston points out, “Many life insurance policies provide protection for your loved ones along with a tax-sheltered investment option that can grow your money.”

Topping the list, according to Preston, is people’s belief that all their insurance needs are covered through

Some think life insurance is only for full-time workers or high-income earners, but there are cases where it

can be helpful regardless of income or employment status. “For example, if you have dependents, you would need to cover childcare and housekeeping costs in a parent’s absence,” Preston notes. And life insurance isn’t only for those with dependents, she adds. “Life insurance can also help protect your partner from struggling with a single income and ensure your debts are paid, which is important regardless of whether you have children,” she says.

Finally, Preston insists that life insurance need not be prohibitively expensive. She indicates that a 10-year term policy with a death benefit of $250,000 would

By Mark DiLLon cost about $28 per month for a healthy 45-year-old Canadian male non-smoker, while a policy with a death benefit of $200,000 would cost $15 per month for a healthy 35-year-old female nonsmoker. “Life insurance can be cost-effective,” she says, adding that more information is available at www.rbcinsurance.com/familypricing or by calling RBC Insurance at 1-888-528-5507.

Last will provide an overview of growing, harvesting and preserving culinary herbs, and Guenette will offer a cooking demonstration and offer tips for using herbs in the kitchen.

Herbs can be grown for a variety of reasons – they can be ornamental, they can be used for medicinal purposes, but most people grow them to cook with. Using a variety of fresh herbs can be a great way to add flavour to your meals when trying to cut back on sodium or other not-sohealthy additives.

The entrance to the Old Town Hall is located on Klondike Rd. across from the Shopper’s Drug Mart. There is a $5 fee for guests.

Society members are gardeners from novice to expert in experience, who share a common love of plants, gardening and take pride in their home’s landscaping.

The society features guest speakers each month who discuss a variety of topics, and help beautify the local community through the maintenance of the Molly Wilson garden at the Old Town Hall.

EMC news - Six local youth will head to Central America this summer to help build a school in Nicaragua, through SchoolBox, a Canadian charity.

The youth play on teams in the West Ottawa Soccer Club, an organization that encourages athletes to find interesting ways to give back to their communities.

Last year, a team of athletes from the soccer club ran a five-kilometre race to support the building of a school and raised more than $1,700 from pledges.

Following the run, the team won third prize in the national True Sport Give Back competition which helped to raise an additional $2,000 for the cause. More than $4,000 was raised last year to support the charity.

This year, the team will complete its journey by making the trek down to Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, to support the building of a school.

Just 40 kilometres out of the capital, the team of youth and their chaperones will be spending 10 days helping to build the school, engage with the community, play soccer with local youth, and experience the warm Nicaraguan hospitality.

In addition, the youth have received a $7,000 scholarship from the Amazing People Gala, a local event that highlights extraordinary accomplishments from ordinary people.

The gala raised more than $50,000 for SchoolBox last year and determined that the six athletes were fitting ambassadors of their inaugural youth scholarships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that these athletes demonstrate the kind of leadership and caring that we want to foster among local youth. We hope that this will inspire other youths to want to give back to their community the way these young athletes have,â&#x20AC;? said Eric Collard, co-chair of the gala.

Head coach Dina Bell-Laroche, a community leader and veteran of five Olympic Games has incorporated a give back element into all the teams she has coached.

Bell-Laroche said this is this kind of experience that makes good athletes, great leaders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sport is more than just a game.

Sport can teach life lessons off the playing field that can build self esteem, empowering people to set a goal and achieve it, and believe in something that is larger than them,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so proud of the accomplishments of these young athletes and the leadership they are demonstrating to support a community thousands of miles away.â&#x20AC;?

The six local athletes are Kathleen Carson, Priya Nagpal, Tiffany Ingram, Gabrièle Donnelly, Jessica Aiello and Talia Laroche. Other members include Peter Donnelly, Lynn Aiello, Karri Dawson, John

ceive the world and perhaps what he wants isn’t always what he needs.

“I didn’t of course start writing it with the idea of having a message,” said Chang.

But the message evolved as her story took shape.

“I think children’s stories are best told when there’s some growth of the character,” she said. “What you want may not necessarily be what you need …

Maybe his dream isn’t as important as what’s right.”

Do you have items that you no longer need? Are you looking for items for your household? Then take part in this weekend’s Give Away Days.

Started by the former City of Kanata and now City wide, this is a time to put unwanted but useable items at the end of your driveway with a sign “FREE” and then cruise the neighbourhood to see what items you could use. Anything safe goes – from clothing to toys to gadgets and working appliances, to left-over drywall and other construction items. Just be certain to place items you want to keep away from the curb! If you have leftovers from a garage sale, put them out. Items will then be reused, the most effective way to recycle them. Good hunting!

PRESTO CARDS Full deployment of Presto Cards for all transit users is now underway.

Cards can be obtained from OC Transpo sales centres, the Kanata Client Centre, the Hazeldean Library, ordered online at www.prestocard.ca or obtained at special events. The first 200,000 cards are free, after which they will cost $6. The cost includes insurance for the value on the card if it is lost. Once obtained, you register and load it for use. If funded by a credit card online, it takes up to 48 hours to be activated. At the sales centres activation is immediate. To use your card you must tap the lower part of the reader found at each entry door on the bus or O-train. If you transfer & tap, it will tell you how much longer you have on that fare.

Seniors, when registering, should indicate their senior status to get the lower senior fares. Seniors in Kanata can get cards on June 13, 9:30-11:30 a.m. at SS#1 (for Chinese Seniors) and 1:30 – 3:30 p.m. at the Kanata Seniors Centre. Note: Seniors, to avoid payment when using transit on free Wednesdays, should not tap their cards on that day. Read the detailed information when you get your card and refer to information on the OC Transpo website or call Presto at 1-877-378-6123 for help.

NEW POOL & HOT TUB ENCLOSURE PERMIT REQUIREMENT If you have an existing pool (including above ground pools) or hot tub or pond with a depth of 24” or more, you must now obtain a Pool Enclosure Permit at a cost of $200. This permit is required under a new bylaw designed particularly to protect young children. There are requirements for items such as fencing and keeping gates locked. Go to www. ottawa.ca for details. If you are building a new pool, pond or adding a backyard hot tub, you need a site plan to apply for a full permit. Ensure that your contractor obtains all the necessary permits prior to starting construction and be aware that you cannot change drainage features such as swales or catch basins or impact neighbouring properties.

Emerald Ash Borer public information session River Ward City Councillor Maria McRae, Chair of the City’s Environment Committee, invites residents to attend a public information session on the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB).

Since 2008, this invasive insect has spread across Ottawa. The presence of EAB poses a serious threat to Ash trees located on both public and private properties.

Residents are invited to attend this session to learn more about the impacts on their community, what the City is doing to address this situation and what residents can do to help mitigate the impact that this pest is having on our Ash trees.

Chang began writing the book shortly after her son, Cole, was born. After four years of work and rewrites, and a year working with illustrator Darren Bird, a digital artist from Centretown, the book was published in time for Cole’s birthday.

“My ultimate goal was to get this published before my son’s fifth birthday and that actually happened,” she said.

“I’ve always read books to him. He’s at the right age to be able to sit through the entire story and appreciate the whole thing,” she added.

“He really likes it. He knows the character is based on him.”

Using Cole as inspiration for main character Nicholas, Chang also used her son’s friends as the basis for the supporting cast.

“I just kind of kept them in mind while I was writing the characters out,” said Chang, who works as an IT support specialist.

So far, Chang has sold around 100 copies of The Littlest Knight and is working on translating the book into French.

The book is geared towards children between ages four and eight, with 32 full-colour pages.

Initially, Chang said she hadn’t thought she’d write more books, but now the wheels are turning and The Littlest Knight could become part of a series, adding she also has other ideas percolating in the background.

Chang will be at Tag Along Toys on June 1 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The book can be purchased at the Kanata store, at Perfect Books on Elgin Street or online at www.tytanima.com.

Aside from being a self-published author, Chang has also written newspaper articles, poetry, fan fiction, and is a coauthor of Orpheus Musical Theatre Society: The First Hundred Years.

Writing my own happy ending with CHEO’s help

By Vienna Arbic with Isabelle Mailloux Pulkinghorn

My name is Vienna and I am nine years old. I’m in grade three, play defense on my hockey team, and enjoy doing crafts and writing stories. I love spending time with my parents Sherry and Richard Arbic, and my friends. And I have cancer.

involved. I wouldn’t need lumbar punctures and I could be home with my parents and my dogs instead of in the hospital. I’d be playing hockey and graduating grade three with everyone in my class. If this were a story I made up, it’d be funny like the Robert Munsch books that I love so much.

But cancer is serious.

they knew something was wrong with me, had it not been for the concussion itself and for the team of CHEO neurologists, endocrinologists and oncologists who care for me, my story could have had a sad ending.

One day at hockey practice I hurt my head and ended up with a concussion. I had all the classic symptoms, and even after the prescribed rest period I was not getting better. I was sleeping 18 hours a day, falling asleep at school and again later in the afternoon. I had severe headaches that even the pain medicine would not relieve. I had no short-term memory and my parents say I just wasn’t myself.

But now, there’s hope.

So my parents took me to CHEO. An endocrinologist ordered a CT scan and it detected a tumor in the center of my brain that was pressing against my thyroid, pituitary and hypothalamus glands causing fluid to build up. Then Dr. Vassilyadi, a CHEO neurosurgeon, installed a shunt in my brain to drain the fluid and relieve the pressure; that’s when I started to feel much better.

My ‘real’ life had to be put on hold while the doctors at CHEO help me get rid of cancer. Mine is called Germ cell tumor, a very rare form of brain cancer - and I want it to go away.

The oncologists told us that Germ cell tumors in the brain are very rare but the good news is that they usually respond well to radiation; although some do need a mix of radiation, chemotherapy and surgery.

In my case, we quickly started with chemotherapy.

If this were a story I came up with, there wouldn’t be a port-a-cath, operations and chemotherapy

Had it not been for my parents’ persistence to push for physicians to investigate further because

Chemotherapy is not fun - it actually makes me very sick. I lost my hair and I look very different because of the cortisone, but it is helping me get better. It is shrinking the size of my tumor, and that is great news! Once the last cycle of chemotherapy will be finished, we’ll start radiation therapy to help reduce the tumor even more and hopefully make it go away forever. I hope we’re done by the end of the summer so I can start my hockey season and go back to school. Mom and dad have already found special hockey equipment that will protect my port (where the doctors inject the medications).

I can’t wait to get back to my real life. Until then, I will take my medicine, continue chemo and rest so my body can fight cancer and I can get better.

It’s funny because I’ve always wanted to become a doctor when I grow up. Now, as mom says, I’m getting an insider’s view and that will help make me be a great doctor someday. I also want to keep writing, so maybe I’ll become a doctor-writer. But one thing is certain: my stories will always have happy endings. Just like this one will.

Retired educator gives back following cancer treatment at TOH

By Tracey Tong

The first sign of cancer appeared suddenly for Duncan Ferguson.

Ferguson—a retired principal with the OttawaCarleton District School Board and a part-time instructor at the University of Ottawa—was sitting in a Barrhaven classroom in 2008 when he developed a sudden and unrelenting pain in his back.

“I thought I had twisted it,” he recalled, “It was so painful I had to leave class.”

He visited his family doctor and tests revealed that Ferguson had Stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

“It was a shock,” he said. By that time, the cancer had already spread to his lymph nodes and doctors thought it might be too advanced for treatment.

R0012122736

He was admitted to The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre, where he started the first of eight chemotherapy sessions in March 2008.

“Family and friends were there for my family,” said Ferguson. “Our freezer always had casseroles.

It was an amazing experience in that way. The support of our friends and neighbours was absolutely phenomenal.”

Now recovered, the 76-year-old father and grandfather has been looking for ways to give back – not just for himself, but because cancer has hit his family hard. His father is a prostate cancer survivor, and years ago, his brother, Carl, succumbed to rectal cancer at age 30. Once a week he volunteers at The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre as a volunteer trainer, and last year, be began an EMC newspaper route, donating all of his earnings to Dr. John Bell’s cancer research at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. He has also signed up to fundraise for The Ottawa Hospital.

“When you have cancer, you need to remain optimistic,” Ferguson said. “People living with cancer can’t spend their lives concentrating on the disease. With my paper route and volunteering, my mind is not on the cancer, it’s on making it better.”

Nearly 5,000 runners made their way down Fairmont Ave. in Hintonburg as part of the Ottawa marathon, which wound through 42 kilometres of Ottawa and Gatineau streets on Sunday, May 26.

Race weekend sees record turnout 39th annual event runs smoothly Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC sports - More than 40,000 people crossed the finish line as part of Ottawa Race Weekend.

This was the 39th annual edition of the event on May 25 and 26, which included seven races ranging from a two-kilometre family race to a full 42-km marathon.

The races began downtown at the corner of Elgin Street and Laurier Avenue at 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 26 with the 2K event.

At 5 p.m., more than 8,000 runners hit the streets for the 5K event, and at 6:30 p.m. the streets were again pummeled by the feet of 9,000 runners aiming for a finish line 10K away.

On Sunday, the marathon started bright and early at 7 a.m. with the half-marathon following at 9 a.m.

The marathon winner’s circle was dominated by runners from Ethiopia and Kenya, with Tariku Jufar taking the top spot with a time of 2:08:04.

The lead Canadian Rob Watson snuck into 10th place with 2:18:33.

Ottawa resident Josh Karanja won the half marathon in 1:07:47.

Three of the top five half-marathon winners were from Ottawa, and all five were Canadian.

With so many people coming into the city for the weekend, spokeswoman Annie Boucher said organizers have the system down pat after 39 years.

“There are always little tweaks I’m sure, a fencing thing or something, but as far as big tweaks or changes I didn’t hear of anything,” she said. “I think things went pretty smoothly.”

The event was also a fundraiser, partnering with 28 different charities to give people more reason to run. The Ottawa Hospital Foundation raised more than $405,000.

Boucher said it is difficult to know exactly how much money was raised, but in 2012 runners collected close to $1 million for charitable organizations.

More cowbell: Race Weekend brings runners, city together Continued from page 29

While I’m not one to enjoy being yelled at by strangers, the cheers, cowbells and calls of encouragement from spectators along the route were tantamount to a triple espresso.

Besides, who could possibly consider stopping when these people so desperately wanted you to keep going? Our feet miraculously continued to carry us forward.

Of course, the best pick-me-up came with only 400 metres left, when I was truly starting to believe the finish line would never come.

Coming up the side, we could hear a group of people screaming and yelling. The cowbells were clanging and we could hear our names carried on the chilly wind. They were screaming

for us! Our friends had come, cowbells in tow, to give us those cheers and high fives we so badly needed.

The sight of my smiling husband and all my friends there to support me gave me enough pep to get over that finish line with energy to spare and a grin on my face.

finish line with energy to spare and a grin on my face.

It was over; they had helped me survive.

The next day, as the marathon and half-marathon passed by my house in Hintonburg, I returned the favour.

For two hours my friends and I greeted friends and strangers with chants, cheers and cowbells. We received high fives, smiles and fist pumps in return. Posts on Twitter and Facebook spoke to how much the cheering crowds helped those admirable endurance runners make it to the end.

This weekend I ran a five-kilometre race, but I also discovered why people love running in Ottawa. It’s not the city’s beauty, the fast courses or the medals at the end, although that’s part of it.

It’s the family that’s born when everyone comes together to support each other on their personal journeys to the finish line and beyond.

The lesson, of course, can be applied in and out of our sneakers: when we come together, we can accomplish anything.

I’ve got only one thing to say about that: more cowbell.

A. Y. Jackson a top Kiva fundraiser in Canada Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - A Kanata high school has become a top fundraiser in Canada and the world for an organization that helps entrepreneurs in Third World countries get their businesses off the ground.

A. Y. Jackson Secondary School is number 11 in the world and second in Canada for its fundraising efforts for Kiva, a non-profit organization that connects people through the lending of money to help alleviate poverty.

The weather cleared enough on Friday afternoon for a Grade 11 entrepreneurship class to host the second-annual Kiva Carnival on May 24.

“We want to be the top school in Canada,” said stu-

dent organizer Chris Nguyen about the school’s fundraising efforts.

To date, the school has loaned $39,000 so far, said teacher Mark Hoogenraad.

“We’re in an entrepreneur class,” said James Lever, one of the student co-ordinators. “To support other entrepreneurs is important.”

“It’s important ... to help get the economy going,” added Megan Hirschfeld, another student co-ordinator.

The money that gets loaned is paid back over a period of time.

When the funds are returned to the school, the students choose new entrepreneurs to assist.

“They don’t have the same opportunities we’ve had,” said Claudia Warner-Jacobs, a student organizer.

Some of the entrepreneurs

A. Y. has helped come from Haiti, Kenya, Afghanistan and Dominican Republic, said Claudia.

“Each person has their goal amount,” she said, adding the school aims to help as many businesses get off the ground as possible by lending around $50 to each person helped.

“It’s nice to see the students achieving something,” said Hoogenraad. “It’s a hand up, not a hand out.”

San Francisco-based Kiva works with microfinance institutions on five continents to provide loans to people without access to traditional banking systems. One hundred percent of each loan is sent to the microfinance institutions, called field partners, who administer the loans in the field, according to the website.

EMC news - The Trailwest Community Association is hosting two events this summer to give residents a chance to get to know one another and boost membership for the new group.

The association represents the fast-growing communities of Bridlewood Trails and Trailwest in south Kanata.

A community-wide garage sale being held on June 1, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., is a chance for residents not only to clear some space in their homes but also an opportunity to get to know their neighbours, said association president Phil Aldis.

“We’ve had many very positive compliments … about how wonderful a community it is, with everyone feeling connected and safe because of the ongoing communication we’ve had,” said Aldis, adding all residents are encouraged to take part in the event. “We’d love to continually build upon it.”

A barbecue featuring breakfast and lunch items, as well as baked goods, will be held at the south corner of Carronbridge Circle, with the funds raised going to the community association for future events and maintaining the group.

“It’ll also be a great opportunity for residents of Trailwest to stop by and pick up their membership card,” said Aldis. “The membership card identifies that they’re a

Trailwest Summerfest to be held in August Continued from page 33

The association is currently in the planning phase of developing a community-wide festival, dubbed the Trailwest Summerfest. A portion of funds raised from the garage sale barbecue will go towards the inaugural event.

“We’re hoping to have that in our

new Kristina Kiss Park,” said Aldis.

The summer festival will be held in August, with a firm date to be announced. If the park construction isn’t finished by that time, the event will be held in the parking lot of the Real Canadian Superstore on Eagleson Road, said Aldis.

Details of the event will be deliv-

ered to every door in the Trailwest and Bridlewood Trails communities in the form of a gift bag, donated by the Superstore, he added.

The Trailwest Summerfest will feature a host of activities and games “to bring the community together,” said Aldis.

Most of the association’s commu-

nication is accomplished online, said Aldis. An annual general meeting was held last winter to elect the executive, and the board meets bi-monthly to discuss any issues that are raised. Everything else is done through the website, mytrailwest.ca.

Around 30 members of the community took part in a clean-up on May

18, collecting 50 bags of garbage and disposing of abandoned tires and waterlogged pallets, said Aldis.

“We’re gathering as a community in other ways,” he said. “There’s so much ongoing communication.”

Map out your cycling and walking routes for Liveable Ottawa Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Do you walk or cycle to get around Ottawa? The city wants to hear from you.

Interactive surveys that let people draw their frequent routes are now online and will help guide how the city defines its active-transportation network for the next two decades.

Two versions of the survey – one focused on walking and one on bicycling – are available at ottawa.ca/liveableottawa until June 7 as part of the Liveable Ottawa Official Plan and master plan updates.

The surveys allow respondents to identify areas where sidewalks, pathways or cycling lanes are missing and needed.

People can use the interactive maps to draw their frequent bicycle trips and to identify roads or intersections that are dangerous or uncomfortable for pedestrians or cyclists to navigate.

The survey tool helps define what “type” of cyclist you are by asking how comfortable you are on roads, cycling lanes and pathways.

The pedestrian and cycling survey is the second phase of the city’s online engagement strategy for the Liveable Ottawa consultation.

The first survey launched in January and ran until March.

It focused on general questions such as what people like about their neighbourhood and why they chose to live there, how they get around the city, infrastructure upgrades needed and issues related to intensification, such as the height of tall buildings.

Just over half of the 8,068 participants completed all 34 of the questions in the first online survey, which councillors applauded as engagDidn’t get your

ing the largest number of citizens of any city public consultation.

The area including the Glebe, Old Ottawa South, Old Ottawa East, Carleton University and Dow’s Lake had the highest participation, with 500 respondents from those neighbourhoods.

Orléans was the second highest with 252 respondents, followed by Lowertown, Sandy Hill and the University of Ottawa with 248.

“Since answering the questions was not mandatory, it is not possible to know where residents stopped completing the survey,” city public engagement specialist Barbara Backland wrote in an email.

“The survey was broken down into sections, so residents could have skipped around the survey and answered whatever was of interest to them.”

The city also held a public open house in January that attracted 179 people, a development forum with 31 industry representatives and a community forum with 110 representatives in February.

Those consultations will guide revised recommendations for updates to the city’s Official Plan that will be tabled at planning committee on June 25.

A draft report outlining how pedestrian, cycling, transit and road projects are prioritized will be tabled at the transportation committee in July.

Consultation on both the transportation master plan priorities and the Official Plan amendments will continue throughout the summer, with council consideration and voting scheduled to take place in October and November.

The entire exercise should be wrapped up by mid-December.

EMC news - Five artists competing for a city contract to create a sculpture or art work for the West District Library in Beaverbrook unveiled their creations at the Mlacak Centre on May 21.

Members of the public had the chance to check out some of the proposals, talk to the artists and make comments, which were collected by the city’s public art program.

The city put out a call for submissions last February after council approved the $10-million budget for construction of a 2,300-squaremetre building next to the Mlacak Centre.

Construction is expected to finish in the summer of 2014.

The city has budgeted $60,000 for an artist to create a permanent piece of art to adorn the outside of the library.

Judith Berry created a model of a three-by-three-metre light box, which has repetitive log and building shapes.

Executive 2 bedroom split level home on estate lot in Vydon Acres.

“They’re both animated,” said Grant-Henley. “It’s the idea of how the visitor to the library actually activates the works (books, and other material) that are in the library.”

Dale Dunning, who lives near Almonte, presented an aluminum sculpture with wings and letters juxtaposed over a face.

“It’s a sculpture celebrating the flight of imagination,” he said.

Judith Berry, who lives in the Gatineau hills region of Quebec, created a model of a three-by-three-metre light box, which features repetitive log and building shapes interspersed with local plants and insects.

“I see it as a representation of the contemporary Kanata in its mix of urban and wild spaces,” she said.

Kenneth Emig, who lives in Centretown, built a model of Glass Monolith, the working title of the piece, a one-by-thee-metre rectangular structure with an LED light source.

“It’s essentially an observatory that will change when the weather changes, when the exterior light changes during the day,” said Emig. “At night it’s lit internally to create multiple reflections and multiple spaces.”

Another Centretown artist, Christopher Griffin, based his art work Mikinàk (the Algonquin word for turtle) on the Blandings turtle, an animal topical to the Kanata area, he said.

“It allows you to sit on the turtle,” he said. “It’s just a very relaxing metaphor and relaxing motif -- everyone can relate to the turtle.”

OC Transpo lowers Para fares pay for rides on OC Transpo. A fare paid using the Presto card “e-purse” cash balance will cost $2.72.

To encourage riders to pick up a free card and switch to the new payment method, OC Transpo set cash and ticket fares higher than buying the same trip using Presto.

Transit commission chairwoman Coun. Diane Deans said the “unintended consequence” of the new fares is that “We ended up with fares that were higher for Para Transpo customers that were higher than everyone else.”

“We heard loud and clear that this was an inequitable situation,” she said.

Accessibility advocate Kevin Kinsella, who brought the issue to the commission’s attention on April 17, applauded the move.

“It really speaks to the flexibility and willingness of the commission

EMC news - OC Transpo is addressing concerns about inequality by lowering fares on its accessible Para Transpo vehicles for one year.

On May 22, council approved the temporary change to the fares that go into effect July 1. While a regular cash fare will become $3.40, Para Transpo users will instead pay $2.70.

The summer fare table was designed to support the full launch of the Presto smart card, a new way to

and council to deal with concerns as they come up,” he said.

Metrolinx, the provincial agency that oversees Presto, gave the city a discount on the system because technical glitches delayed its launch.

That discount will help make up for a $150,000 loss in revenue of setting lower Para Transpo fares, Deans said.

Presto cards are available now at transit stations, OC Transpo sales centres and online at prestocard.ca and will go into use as of July 1.

OC Transpo is working on a standalone electronic fare payment system for Para Transpo that would also be accepted on conventional OC Transpo vehicles.

Re/Max Metro-city Realty Ltd. Realtor (independently owned and operated)

EMC news - When Shihoko Iwatani first came to Canada nearly a year ago the prospect of going to a Barrhaven High School seemed surreal.

The 17-year-old Rotary exchange student didn’t speak English and hadn’t traveled much beyond her home in Osaka, Japan.

“I didn’t understand much in the classes,” she said. “Everything was so new to me.”

It was her grandmother – a longtime Rotary club member – that suggested she try the program and stretch her wings.

“I was attracted to the concept that Rotary Youth Exchange Students have a mission which is to not only study abroad, but also to tell people we meet in a different country about our own home as representatives of that country.”

The exchange is open to young people ages 15 to 25. To qualify, students must have above average grades and be open to new experiences and cultural differences. They also have to be sponsored by a local club. Last year, the Nepean-Kanata Rotary Club hosted a student from Thailand. In

Shihoko Iwatani, is heading back to Japan. previous years they have had students from Switzerland and Brazil. Students from Ottawa have also been hosted in places like France and Russia.Thanks to the program, Iwatani was able to stay in Ottawa for a year. She was hosted by three families in the Nepean-Kanata Rotary Club and took classes at Mother Teresa High School.

A shy and quiet teen, Iwatani said making friends was difficult because she didn’t speak the language.Despite the barriers, she was intrigued by the country’s multiculturalism.

“There are so many different kinds of people with different beliefs and everyone is so accepting,” she said.

“It’s not like that in Japan.”

Arnprior

Her first home here in Ottawa was with a family that was living downtown, so Iwatani had to take the bus for nearly an hour every morning to get to school.

“It was a long trip but I got to see the city,” she said.

At first her classes were very difficult, but Iwatani said she has learned to understand the course material as long as the teachers speak slowly. She took a Canadian history class, finance and ancient history in the first semester.

“This experience has made me interested in studying people from other countries,” Iwatani said.

She played on the school’s rugby team and that also helped get her out of her shell. Iwantani’s parents came to Ottawa in March to see where their daughter was staying.

“They liked it a lot. I took them to Parliament Hill and they also traveled to Montreal and New York City,” Iwatani said. “They liked it here in Ottawa because it is very green and beautiful.”

While Iwatani said she will be happy to return home to her friends and family, she plans to return to Canada again some day.

“I learned a lot while I was here,” she said.

Ottawa Race Weekend opens with marathon torch relay Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - It was a meeting of two Marathons.

Marathon, a tiny village in West Carleton, played host to an event with Olympic overtones on Thursday, May 23.

Eleftherios Anghelopoulos, the Greek ambassador to Canada and Iordanis Louizos, mayor of Marathon, Greece, were on hand to light the ceremonial torch during Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend’s first ever marathon torch relay run.

Louizos carried a flame in a special lantern, along with two torches brought from Marathon, Greece.

More than 60 runners chosen by the race committee were selected to carry the torch 42.2-kilometres -- coincidentally the distance of a marathon -- from Marathon to Ottawa city hall, a route that travelled through West Carleton, Kanata, Nepean and west Ottawa.

“I was amazed and I was excited to see that there was a place 42 km away from city hall here called Marathon,” said Louizos. “It’s an excellent area. People are very, very friendly and I can see they love participating in marathon races.”

The idea was suggested to the race committee by Anghelopoulos, who said the torch-relay was a success in

Lordanis Louizos, mayor of Marathon, Greece, left, watches as Eleftherios Anghelopoulos, the Greek ambassador to Canada, centre, and Evangelos Papapostolou race director of Athens Classic Marathon, light the ceremonial torch to mark the start of the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend torch relay from Marathon to Ottawa city hall on May 23. other major North American cities, such as Toronto and Chicago.

“It was my initiative,” he said.

“I suggested to them they have the flame of Marathon here and they

were thrilled with the idea and they accepted the suggestion.”

West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry was the first runner to carry the ceremonial torch, sprint-

ing down a 200-metre stretch of John Shaw Road, before handing it off to another participant.

The torch relay team travelled in a yellow school bus, and the runners

were escorted by police cars across a route that included Carp Road, Second Line Road, Terry Fox Drive, Carling Avenue, Richmond Road, Wellington Street and Somerset Street.

When the torch reached city hall, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson was scheduled to light a cauldron provided by the Hellenic Community of Ottawa, officially signaling the start of Ottawa Race Weekend, an event on May 25 and 26, that attracts more than 40,000 runners who compete in the marathon, 2K-, 5K- and 10Kraces.

“It’s a fun way to sort of kick off the overall race weekend with something that symbolizes marathon, marathon running,” said John Halverson, president of Ottawa Race Weekend.”

The concept of a marathon honours the courage of Pheidippides, a Greek soldier who in 490 BC ran 40 kilometres across rocky ground from Marathon to Athens, where he announced the Greek’s victory over the Persians before falling to the ground dead. Dimitri Koutris, 13, and his sister Katherine, 15, two Barrhaven youth, participated in the torch-lighting ceremony, arriving in traditional Greek clothing.

“It’s an honour to be here, to represent the youth of the Hellenic peoples of Ottawa on this historic day,” said Katherine.

Councillor wants to re-open casino debate Changes at Queen’s Park and the OLG open the door to reconsider gambling facility: Coun. Tierney Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Coun. Tim Tierney is betting that changes at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation and Queen’s Park will give his fellow councillors reason to reconsider their support for a new casino in Ottawa.

The Beacon Hill-Cyrville councillor will bring forward a motion on June 12 to ask city council to reconsider its decision from last fall to reopen the fiery debate over whether Ottawa should be home to a new casino, which Mayor Jim Watson would like to see in the urban area.

Tierney voted against the idea of a new casino last October and he thinks re-opening the debate would give

more time for the public to be involved in the discussion.

He says he doesn’t favour getting rid of gambling entirely and would like to see it remain at the Rideau-Carleton Raceway.

But city council gave up too much control when it voted 19-5 last October to accept a new gaming facility, Tierney said.

With a new premier at the helm of the province and a complete turnover of the board overseeing the OLG, now is the time to look at whether Ottawa made the decision in too much haste, Tierney said.

In the last two weeks, Toronto city council rejected OLG’s proposal for a new casino there and the entire OLG board resigned after the

chairman, Paul Godfrey, was ousted.

“The old board and chair that sold us this bag of tricks isn’t there anymore,” Tierney said.

The previous board didn’t give Ottawa many options when it came to support of a new casino and Tierney is hoping for more flexibility from the new board.

“I’m hoping the new board will have a new direction,” he said.

Ryan Kennery, spokesman for the mayor, said Watson would not support such a motion “because there is no new information on this issue.”

“The OLG process remains the same as agreed to by city council last year, regardless of any changes in leadership,” Kennery wrote in an email.

While other municipalities such as Kingston have found a way to be more prescriptive about the conditions under which a casino would be acceptable, Ottawa just said “yes” with no conditions, Tierney said. “(Kingston) protected their

downtown,” he said. “I’m still foggy on why weren’t able to do the same thing.

it hasn’t happened.”

“We haven’t had a proper dialog,” Tierney said.

“You can claim we did, but

The province proposed another change recently: an altered gaming facility funding formula that would put additional money into the city’s coffers by sharing four per cent of revenue from gaming tables with municipalities.

That also changes the situation, Tierney said.

The councillors who voted against the casino last October said there are too many unknowns at the time.

“Me and other colleagues felt it didn’t pass the sniff test,” Tierney said.

Last fall, Capital Coun.

David Chernushenko voted against the casino and said there wasn’t any evidence or research in favour of a gambling facility that could outweigh the cacophony of negative comments from his constituents.

“Once a big project gets going, it becomes awfully hard to apply the brakes,”

COUN. TIM TIERNEY

Chernushenko said last year.

Part of the problem was that neither city staff nor councillors fully understood the level of input the city will have into where a new casino would be located.

The city definitely has veto power over OLG’s proposed casino location and it has the final say on rezoning any land that a proponent wants

to build a casino on.

But what is more vague is the city’s level of influence over suggesting where it would prefer to see a casino.

The gaming corporation will run a call for proposals and choose the best casino plan and location. Last fall, Orléans Coun.

Bob Monette asked whether council could have any input before that decision is made.

For instance, he asked if the city could be presented with the top three options, allowing council to indicate to the gaming corporation which one was most likely to be approved.

The mayor and city manager couldn’t give a firm answer about what level of influence city council would have over that process, other than simply saying “no.”

Councillors would have to vote on re-opening the debate at the June 26 council meeting.

Developer ordered to hand over report

Visit us Online at yourottawaregion.com

Legal tangle over derelict Lowertown school continues Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A judge threw out an Ottawa developerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal of a court order to hand over an engineering report to the city.

A lawyer for Groupe Claude Lauzon has said the report bolsters the developerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s argument that its building at 287 Cumberland St. is structurally unsound and should be torn down. On May 8, a superior court judge ordered Lauzon to give the city the report, which was commissioned by Lauzon and prepared by a private engineering firm.

But on May 22, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clerk and top lawyer sent a memo informing city council that Lauzon is appealing that order. Then on May 24, a judge dismissed Lauzonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to delay handing over the document until the appeal had been heard, effectively dismissing the appeal related to the engineering report.

Lauzon is still appealing the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling for it to comply with making its building safe

and meeting the heritage requirements associated with 287 Cumberland St. The saga began when Lauzon filed an application to Ontario Superior Court on Feb. 20 asking for permission to tear down the building at 287 Cumberland St., which has remained in disrepair for decades. The application states the city has known since 2005 that the building has â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant structural concernsâ&#x20AC;? and did nothing. Groupe Claude Lauzon wants to tear the school down and put up condos, but the city refused the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demolition application in 2006 because Lauzon did not provide plans for what it planned to build on the site, which is a requirement of the heritage district policies that apply to the neighbourhood.

“Taekwon-Do is about technique, physical fitness, discipline, honour, and passion. You need passion to do the best that you can in the face of obstacles, both internal and external.

Passion is what defines us and what makes us great. For me, Taekwon-Do is an embodiment of passion and a microcosm of life.”

– Rubina Lakhani, 2nd Degree Black Belt
