Funding for national project announced in Glen Cairn Jessica Cunha

EMC news - The federal government will fund the training of 2,400 young people from across Canada to deliver anti-bullying workshops.

Each youth facilitator will commit to reaching another 20 young people in their communities to help prevent bullying and discrimination.

The Canadian Red Cross will receive $250,000 from the federal government to continue its youth-led Stand up to Bullying and Discrimination project.

Canadian Heritage Minister James Moore announced the money for the program – which is expected to reach more than 50,000 Canadian youth – at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School in Glen Cairn on June 3 with Laureen Harper and Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley.

Hubley’s son Jamie attended A.Y. Jackson before taking his own life after being bullied for his sexual orientation, which had led to a deep depression he couldn’t overcome.

“Communities across this country, including this one, have been deeply affected by tragedies related to bullying, cyberbullying and intimidation,” said Moore.

“And there are far too many tragedies.”

Urbandale fronted the $1 million for the construction of the new intersection in 2012 and the city is paying back the amount, interest free.

“By replacing a four-way-stop intersection, the roundabout was a better approach to keeping traffic moving, and to handle the vehicle volume coming from four different directions,” said Hubley. “We have received great feedback from the community on the roundabout.”

Watson said it was about time Bridlewood had an answer to its traffic woes.

“The traffic problems at this intersection had gone unresolved for years, but by combining projects and the help of a front ending agreement, we have implemented a solution that is both safe and efficient,” said Watson in a press release.

EMC news - Community members and city staff were out in full force to commemmorate the Bridlewood roundabout on May 27.

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley was joined

by Mayor Jim Watson, Mary Jarvis of Urbandale, Gillian Sullivan of the Bridlewood Community Association, and Deborah Mohr-Caldwell from Goldie Mohr Ltd. to unveil a plaque recognizing everyone who helped with the construction of the roundabout on Stonehaven Drive.

“This traffic solution was implemented to make travel along Stonehaven more efficient and safer,” said Hubley in a press release.

Three youth forums to be held across Canada Continued from page 1

“If we do nothing, it will lead to the death of children … It can’t be said more plainly or more accurately than that,” said Moore.

Cyberbullying through social media is a reality many adults never had to face.

“Our kids now face pressures that really didn’t exist when I was growing up,” said Harper, who is married to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. “As parents it’s very hard to help our children because their experiences are so different than anything we had.

“That’s very scary as a mother.”

Three youth-led forums in the Atlantic region, Ontario and British Columbia will also reach out to 150 youth to step up and help put an end to bullying.

“Actions like this announcement today (are) what we need to be successful,” said Hubley.

“Canadians, such as my family, have paid too high a price and (we need) meaningful progress before other families must carry the burden of losing someone special, like my boy Jamie, who only wanted a safer community for everyone.

“With the help of the Red Cross and other frontline workers, we can create hope for a better day.”

Hubley pledged to do “everything I can” to have at least one student from his ward receive the training, which is offered to students between the age of 13 and 17.

“We cannot expect someone else to solve this issue for us.

Success will take each of us doing our part,” he said. “By supporting young people to become leaders in their schools and communities through programs like this, we will create safer places and communities for everyone. Let’s join together and say it’s time to turn bullying on its head.”

The funding is provided through the government’s Youth Take Charge program.

The Canadian Red Cross will receive $250,000 from the federal government to continue its youth-led Stand up to Bullying and Discrimination project.

The announcement was made at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School on June 3. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said ‘it’s time to turn bullying on its head.’

Neighbours rally around woman after cancer diagnosis Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - A group of neighbours is rallying around one of their own.

The McGibbon Clan – made up of residents from McGibbon Street and Conant Place in Katimavik, and friends and family – took to the track behind Holy Trinity Catholic High School on May 28 to honour Pat Britten and offer support as she battles her third round of cancer.

First diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001, Britten beat the disease into remission and was a cancer survivor of 10 years. Last year, the cancer aggressively returned, and she underwent a double mastectomy.

The cancer has since moved to the skin on her chest and Britten is now undergoing more chemotherapy, as well as taking part in a clinical drug trial.

“If it helps me, that’s lovely,” said Britten, adding the most important outcome is the research that will help others undergoing similar battles.

MCGIBBON CLAN

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Pat Britten, centre, was the guest of honour at an event to raise funds for breast cancer research on May 28. The McGibbon Clan, made up of residents of the street by the same name, friends and family, were there to support Pat as she undergoes her third battle with cancer. gether for barbecues and a discussion arose about how they could show their support for Britten.

“It blossomed,” said Douthwright, adding they were also collecting funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation of Ontario in Britten’s name.

“It’s amazing,” said O’Sullivan, looking around at the crowd. “It

snowballed as well because people talked it up.”

FANTASTIC

Britten came strolling down the path, with her McGibbon Clan shirt and a bright pink boa wrapped around her shoulders, with her husband John. Everyone stopped her for

a word, a hug and a smile.

“I just think it’s fantastic,” said Britten, 63, looking about her. “Once this group of girls get moving, they really get moving.

“I appreciate, so much, everyone’s support.”

Britten was also joined by her mother, Nasiem Davidson, also a breast cancer survivor.

R0012123146

Her neighbours came decked out in pink T-shirts reading “McGibbon Clan,” the children riding ribbondecked bikes and carrying pink pool noodles tied in the fashion of the breast cancer ribbon.

Michelle Douthwright, Erin Hines, Nadine O’Sullivan and Elizabeth Mustaphi led the charge for the event, collecting donations from local businesses and spreading the word along the street about the party for Britten.

“These guys are our family,” said Douthwright, who moved to the Kanata community after being posted from Gagetown, N.B. “I can’t imagine living anywhere else in Ottawa.”

EMC news - Everybody loves vacation time and the break from the ordinary routine. Students are no exception.

However, for students, vacation time can be detrimental to learning as breaks are often when school momentum and good habits begin to slip.

“While children should have fun with their time off, they shouldn’t take a complete break from learning,” says Dr. Nick Whitehead, the CEO and founder of Oxford Learning.

According to Dr. Whitehead, maintaining learning momentum over spring break is especially important. “More than any other schoolyear break, the spring holidays are an important time to pay special attention to maintaining habits. This is the last stretch of the school year and final report cards are not that far away.”

He adds that in the scope of the school year,

spring break is a critical time for students; by not taking a break from learning, students can actually make academic gains rather than losing momentum.

Most students have projects, essays, assignments, or reading that can be worked on during this period. Even if due dates are weeks away, holidays are the perfect time to get a head start on schoolwork.

According to Dr. Whitehead, if students do not have assigned work, it is a good idea to spend at least an hour a day engaged in activities to keep their brains in learning mode.

By keeping the brain engaged over the school break—even in just an hour a day—students will stay mentally agile and motivated to learn.

Just say no to grow-op registry

B

uyer beware.

And buyers of really big items – like a house – should be very wary indeed.

Members of the Ontario Real Estate Association are calling on the province to create a provincial database of all homes that have been used as marijuana grow-ops or drug labs. There is a risk that a former grow-op could contain moulds and that a chemical lab location could have dangerous residues.

A local realtor suggests a provincial list of these homes could be consulted by would-be home buyers before signing for a new home.

It sounds like a reasonable plan until the effectiveness and cost of a drug house registry is considered.

Who will pay to create the database, and more importantly, who will pay to keep it updated? No one wants to download busy-work onto police officers in multiple jurisdictions – municipal, OPP and RCMP – when they could be solving crimes or preventing them. The real estate agents’ wish list would also be sadly incomplete. Police only know about homes where they find grow-ops or drug labs, leaving all the other illicit locations off any provincial registry.

And it turns out there are pay-per-use websites that home seekers can check to learn the history of a

home. Given the size of a home purchase, the cost of adding in a history check doesn’t seem onerous.

Then there’s the issue of spending public funds to create a database that will benefit only one part of the population. If you can afford a house, you’re fortunate. Buying a house is a private transaction, so the responsibility should fall on the parties involved to do their due diligence.

If we as a society mandate that the province must keep tabs on homes others may not want to buy, how long will it be until we need a registry of homes where murders have occurred? How about a list of houses with Bad Mojo or a report of ghosts?

Buyer beware is a fact of life. Plus we have laws to dissuade anyone from selling a damaged home without telling the buyer.

If someone knowingly sells a house and does not inform the buyer of hidden damage – from any source – they could face charges of fraud.

No one should have to live in a mouldy or damaged home, so people shopping for a house should do everything they can to make sure their purchase is healthy. If they hire a real estate agent, they should be confident that the agent has their best interests at heart and has done all possible research on their dream home.

Canada Post takes a flyer with junk mail plea

C

hances are you received a peculiar letter from Canada Post recently. It told you that you are part of a Canada Post database of people who had requested that no flyers be delivered. You might have forgotten that you ever did that.

The letter then asked you to reconsider, by mailing in a postage-free card to Canada Post’s “Consumers’ Choice Program� saying that you would like to receive unaddressed mail at your address.

Notice how big organizations, when they are urging you to accept something unpleasant, always give it a name like “Consumer’s Choice�?

And speaking of unaddressed, this letter from Canada Post was addressed to “Dear Occupant.�

Noting that the mailing was printed on sustainable paper that can be recycled, Canada Post told you that by refusing to accept unaddressed mail – which some cranky people insist on calling junk mail – we were missing out on coupons, catalogues, fundraising appeals from charities, municipal and community notices and product samples.

Unaddressed mail, Canada Post says “can save you money and keep you connected with your local community.�

What is this all about, really? Well, news

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town reports say Canada Post lost money last year.

As to the unaddressed mail, here’s a quote from a Canada Post spokesperson, seen in the National Post: “We deliver all types of mail and all are important to the senders. And we owe it to those who pay for the service to receive the most effective service for their dollars.�

In other words: companies pay us money to put those flyers in mailboxes and they’re leaning on us to get more mailboxes.

Things have come to a pretty pass for a once-proud organization – having to plead with customers to accept junk mail, masking its plea as an offer to help us keep connected with our local community.

Of course, we all know why. Many Canadians, perhaps most, now receive their personal mail – what we used to call “letPublished weekly by:

ters� – electronically. You may have the odd Luddite friend or eccentric uncle who still handwrites a letter, puts it in an envelope and puts a stamp on it, but that’s about it. The great majority of communications you receive are on your computer.

That even goes for junk mail, which is not in short supply in the digital world either.

So we can understand that Canada Post is hurting and why, but there must be a more creative and positive way to be part of the solution than simply agreeing to receive more mail that we will never read (and causes more trees to be cut down).

Apparently the most obvious solution – asking companies, political parties and other organizations to put their stuff in envelopes and buy stamps like the rest of us – wouldn’t fly with Canada Post’s partners in unaddressed mail. But maybe something else would work.

For example, we would be far more receptive to a Canada Post campaign urging us to sit down and handwrite an angry letter to a politician, or a postcard to a grandchild, or a letter to the editor about something silly going on in the world, such as Canada Post trying to get us to accept junk mail.

Canada Post could even make a side dollar or two by offering courses in handwriting,

which some of us have forgotten how to do.

Perhaps we could even learn to write on sustainable paper that can be recycled.

If we were to write such letters, we would have to buy stamps, which would be good for Canada Post. People on the receiving end – except maybe for the politicians – would be happy to get something in their mailboxes that didn’t contain coupons or photographs of John Baird.

True, all of this would mean that we would be using more paper and contributing to the destruction of the world’s forests. But what’s more important, a bunch of trees or the future of Canada Post?

Connected to your community

An apology, in three parts say those two little words.

An honest apology should actually contain three parts. The first is an unqualified and authentic, “I’m sorry.” The second is asking for forgiveness (along with a promise not to do the same thing again). The third part is asking, “what can I do to make it right?” Unfortunately, we too often focus on the first part at the expense of the latter two.

This, in my opinion, is why apologies – such as those from the government and senators in recent days – fall short.

It’s one thing to say sorry authentically. It’s quite another to follow up with a commitment to alter your own behaviour and take action to make things right.

The three-part apology offers a neat formula for all of us, really – “I’m sorry. Will you forgive me? How can I make it right?”

And once you get the hang of it, it makes apologizing seem far less intimidating and complex.

Imagine how different the world would look if our political leaders adopted this simple model.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse her part, I need to take the high road.

I’ve spent many days thinking about my own behaviour, my own comments, so I can focus my apology on the things within my control. Regardless of our different political views, I said mean things and made it personal. That was wrong and I am responsible for it.

But as the recent Senate scandals have highlighted, there is a right way to apologize and there is a wrong way to apologize.

I tell my own children if you’re going to say the words, “I’m sorry,” you need to wait until you mean it, without caveats.

And in order for it to be authentic, you need to do more than just

Internet knows, we can often be much less diplomatic in text than we would in face-to-face interactions.

We say things to people on Facebook or in emails that we would never say to their faces.

Researchers have chalked this up to our ability to create an online identity that is not constrained by realities in the physical world.

I can be rude online, for example, because I don’t have to see the hurt look on the person’s face, because they can’t shout back at me in real time or because I don’t have to worry about getting slapped as a result of my snotty comments.

That’s what I did. I overstepped in cyberspace.

This person sent the criticism right back.

We argued, and now there’s a stalemate.

So how to proceed?

y two boys are close in age. As such, they can frequently be found playing together, reading together or crafting together.

But they also fight.

They fight a lot.

They wrestle; they argue. The younger is often the instigator.

But the eldest is good at keeping the fight going.

Neither one likes to apologize. But who does, right? Even as adults, apologizing is never easy.

For one thing, we can always find reasons to avoid being the first to say sorry. Even if we do step up, apologies are too often couched in “buts,” as in, “I’m sorry for what I did, but you were horrible and that’s why I did it.” Or, “I’m sorry I hurt your feelings, but I’m not sorry I said it.”

As we’ve seen recently with the scandal in the Senate, even those holding the highest posts in Canadian government that have been caught lying, cheating and covering-up their mismanagement of public money have been unable to deliver an unqualified apology.

There’s no doubt about it; apologies can seem difficult.

I’ll be honest: I’m struggling with an apology right now.

Clothesline Project airs issue of violence against women Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The T-shirts decorating the side of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre along Castlefrank Road are a symbolic gesture.

Written on the clothes are messages from survivors of violence and abuse.

On an infant’s white onesie are the words “Love shouldn’t hurt.” A bright purple shirt reads “Hands are for holding, not for hitting.” Written in coloured letters on a white background is this message of hope: “I know who I am and I am fabulous!

You can’t put out my fire.”

The Clothesline Project is an annual international event aimed at

raising awareness about violence against women and children. The Tshirts provide thought-provoking and emotional messages.

“It started (with) the idea of airing out your laundry, airing out your concerns,” said peer support program co-ordinator Jenn Wilks. “Their message is about strength and hope.”

Boxes upon boxes of T-shirts have been collected by the resource centre over the years, with a collection now totalling more than 500 articles of clothing.

VERY PREVALENT

Volunteers with the resource centre pinned the T-shirts to clotheslines hung around the building’s property on May 29 for the one-day display.

Laura Dalliday, a peer support worker, helps hang T-shirts to decorate the side of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre along Castlefrank Road on May 29 as part of the Clothesline Project, which raises awareness about the issue of violence against women.

“It’s about raising awareness,” said Wilks.

Violence against women is still a common occurrence in the community.

Relax. We don’t Bite.

“It’s very prevalent,” she said. “We see cases of violence against women every day.”

Food cupboard starts drive for school supplies Hundreds tour Hydro Ottawa’s historic Increasing numbers prompt early generating station at campaign: co-ordinator Chaudière Falls back to school Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Chaudière Generating Station No. 2 was open to the public as part of Doors Open Ottawa.

Hydro Ottawa provided a rare glimpse inside one of Canada’s oldest operating run-of-the-river hydroelectric generating stations on June 1st and 2nd. Hundreds turned out for free tours of the historic building, located on Victoria Island.

The facility was opened to the public as part of Doors Open Ottawa. Brought to the community by the City of Ottawa, it is the city’s largest heritage and architectural event, giving visitors a rare opportunity to visit inside some of Ottawa’s most prestigious buildings and facilities.

“Chaudière Falls is in the heart of Canada’s National Capital and has great historical significance,” said Bryce Conrad, President and CEO of Hydro Ottawa. “It fueled the industrial explosion of the mid 1800s by providing the water power for the vast complex of lumber mills that generated electricity that drove railroads and factories in the area after 1885.”

EMC news - School hasn’t yet let out for the summer, but the Kanata Food Cupboard is already thinking ahead to next fall.

Karen Waters, client co-ordinator at the cupboard, said the organization is starting its backto-school campaign now to address a growing demand in the community.

“The amount of people coming to us is increasing,” said Waters. “People can survive month-to-month, but when you get these different occasions, like back to school or Christmas, it’s more of a hardship on the families.”

Last year, the food cupboard helped supply 84 families with school supplies: • 119 were elementary school students • 65 were high school students • Seven were university or college students • Seven were adults going

Waters said she’s hoping people and businesses in the community will take up the call and host back-to-school drives to collect the much-needed supplies.

“When school starts, for many families there are no worries of their children going back to school without being fully equipped,” said Waters. “But for some the reality is that they just don’t have the financial means for getting the items that their children need.”

Items can be dropped off at the warehouse, now located at 340 Legget Dr. door 46, or at one of the cupboard’s grocery store bins. Volunteers can also arrange for collection pickup.

If donating funds be sure to write on the cheque that the money is for school supplies, said Waters. Cheques can be forwarded to: Kanata Food Cupboard, 20 Young Rd., Kanata, Ont., K2L 1W1.

Donations can also be made online at kanatafoodcupboard. ca.

Karen Waters, client co-ordinator at the Kanata Food Cupboard, is starting the back-to-school drive early this year to fill a growing need. Last year, the organization supplied 200 individuals, 119 of them elementary students, with items needed for school.

Hydro Ottawa owns and operates three generating stations at Chaudière Falls. Generating Station No. 2 was originally built in 1891 by industrialist E.H. Bronson. The Bronson family was a leader in lumber-related industry in the Ottawa Valley.

In 2001, the station was completely rebuilt. All of the generators were rewound, the turbines were replaced, the channels and dam structures rehabilitated and the station completely automated. However, all of the heritage elements of the station were preserved and the equipment looks as it did 100 years ago.

“It’s a unique opportunity to share the history of this site with the community,” said Conrad.

“Not only did visitors get to tour this historic building, but they also learned how renewable hydroelectricity is produced.”

Dandelions had a place at the table

W

oman, we have been eatin’ those on this here farm for a hundred years, Father said to Mother. I could see she wasn’t impressed.

“They’re weeds, Albert,” Mother said. “Plain and simple weeds. I never heard of anyone eating weeds.”

We were at the breakfast table and we five children were looking at Mother and Father as if we were watching a tennis match. I didn’t think Father was going to win this one.

The subject under discussion was dandelions. They covered what we called a lawn. It was really just our front yard, but since we didn’t own a lawn mower when the grass got too high, one of the brothers tackled it with a scythe. It was hard to tell what was grass and what was dandelions.

On the way to school that morning, I asked my much older sister Audrey if she ever heard of anyone eating dandelions. She said she had once at her friend Iva’s house. She couldn’t remember what they tasted like.

Now, it wasn’t unusual for Father to whip up a German

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories meal. In fact, we all enjoyed what he cooked -- except fried blood pudding which I even had trouble looking at when it came to the table. When he fried sauerkraut, it never tasted at all like the batch Mother would make. Father would rinse it many times, put it in a fry pan with butter and chopped onions and it wasn’t ready to eat until it had turned a golden brown.

His German potato pancakes were usually made on a Sunday night. The potatoes were shredded, rinsed, squeezed dry, and then mixed with eggs and of course, chopped onions. We kept him busy at the Findlay Oval turning out his pancakes barely giving him time to eat them himself, we loved them so much. Of course, they were well lathered with butter and maple syrup too.

Now it was dandelions.

Well, I was with Mother on this one -- I had no desire to eat weeds that were pulled out of the front yard where goodness knows what animal had trampled all over them. No siree.

That Saturday morning Father ordered the boys to meet him in the yard with their jackknives. He was carrying a milk pail and got down on his knees right in the middle of the yard and showed the brothers how to dig up a dandelion, right down to and including the root. It didn’t take long to fill the milk pail.

He hauled the pail over to the cement step at the pump and filled it with water. He sloshed the dandelions around with his arm in the pail up to his elbow, dumped the water out, and repeated the performance. Mother was standing at the kitchen door with her arms

folded across her chest, as if defying Father to bring the weeds into the house.

Well, that’s exactly what he intended on doing. He laid out a spanking clean tea towel on the bake table and shook what water he could off the dandelions and laid them out flat, cutting off the long roots.

Then he folded the towel over the pile of weeds and patted it with his flattened hand.

What amazed me was that all the time this was going on, there wasn’t a word spoken between Mother and Father. It was as if they hadn’t laid eyes on each in their entire lives.

Father took down a big pot from the shelf over the stove and piled in the dandelions.

He poured in a scant dipper of water, sprinkled in a handful of salt and slid the pot to the front of the Findlay Oval. Then he went over to his rocking chair, lit his pipe, crossed his legs and waited.

The table had already been set for dinner. We always had dinner at noon hour -- supper was what we had at night, and Mother had roast pork and potatoes in the oven.

Mayor’s Report

By Jim Watson

When I was six years-old Montreal hosted Expo 67.

Visitors and locals alike enjoyed an amazing celebration while the eyes of the world watched. As a kid, I was swept up in the excitement of the Expo and count that feeling as one of my earliest memories. It left a lasting impression on me and I’ve never forgotten how a worldclass event can transform a city.

In 2017 Canada will celebrate 150 years since the signing of the British North America Act and the creation of our country. As the capital of Canada, I want to make Ottawa the focal point of these anniversary celebrations. Our city is known for its annual Canada Day celebration but I want to extend that celebratory spirit to the entire year of 2017.

In the lead-up to 2017 we have already been aggressive in pursuing major events for Ottawa. The City, in partnership with Ottawa Tourism, created Events Ottawa which is guided by a simple strategy: bid more, win more, host more. Already this has borne fruit as seen by the 2012 NHL All-Star Game, the 2012 JUNO Awards, and the 2013 IIHF Women’s World Championships all having come to Ottawa. And for 2017, we have already confirmed a several events including: • 2017 Annual Association of Municipalities of Ontario Conference; • Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Annual Conference and Tradeshow; and, • The Canadian Whitewater Canoe and Kayak National Championships.

To coordinate the City’s efforts and plan for 2017 we have set up a task force led by Councillors Katherine Hobbs and Rainer Bloess. It has already begun to meet regularly to discuss other major events and conferences that should be bid on but those are only part of what we want to bring to Ottawa in 2017. The larger goal is to realize former Convention Centre Chair and Member of Parliament Jean Pigott’s dream of Ottawa being every Canadian’s second home town. In 2017, we want Canadians to be especially proud to call it so.

We have ideas already as to how we can make 2017 a year to remember in Ottawa but we want to hear your ideas as well. Are there festivals, events, concerts, or cultural celebrations you think would make for great additions to Ottawa in 2017? If there are, or if you would like to share any ideas you have for Ottawa in 2017, please send me an email at Jim.Watson@Ottawa.ca

Father’s boiled dandelions became a staple Continued from page 15

It looked very much like we had a choice: either eat the dandelions as a vegetable, or settle for sliced tomatoes and cucumbers.

Father was certainly in charge of the big pot, already boiling gently on the stove. Mother was having nothing to do with it.

He tested the contents with a fork and when they were done to his liking, he poured the dandelions into the sieve, pressed them down with the wood spoon, and plopped them into a big bowl.

He took the wood spoon, dug it into the butter dish, almost emptying it, and swirled it into the dandelions. He set the bowl in the middle of the table and we all looked at it, no one daring to be the first one to dig in.

Emerson, the most daring of the lot of us, took his fork and tested one boiled leaf.

Well, it didn’t take long for the rest of us to take a small bite, which led to us piling the dandelions on our plates and even Mother, dared to taste a fork full.

I never took my eyes off him. He rolled it around in his mouth, and reached out for the bowl, ladling a

heaping pile on his plate.

“Just as good as your potato pancakes,” he said.

Well, it didn’t take long for the rest of us to take a small bite, which led to us piling the dandelions on our plates and even Mother, dared to taste a fork full.

It didn’t take long for Mother to admit that the dandelions had a place on our dinner table.

She did demand to oversee the washing of every last leaf, however.

From that Saturday, like Father’s potato pancakes and fried sauerkraut, his boiled dandelions often found their way to our plates.

She did, however, draw the line on eating the fried roots. Father said she didn’t know what she was missing.

“I’ll take that chance,” Mother replied.

Romantic Fireplaces and BBQs Inc. When Michael Pilon is behind the barbecue, expect to be treated to a symphony of flavour. Owner of Romantic Fireplaces and BBQ’s Inc., Michael is passionate about quality.

That’s why he is so excited to be showcasing the Black Olive pellet grill, the world’s first pellet Kamado grill at local Farm Boy stores.

“It’s all about combining the highest quality food with best taste and flavour.

There is no product like the Black Olive and no better way to showcase it than with Farm Boy foods.”

“We all remember the day when we made ‘the perfect steak’ cooked on a Hibachi charcoal grill. Convenience has most of us using a gas grill which tends to leave food tasteless and a bit dried out.”

That’s where the Black Olive makes all the difference.

“Finally, using the latest technology, the world’s first electric wood pellet Kamado style grill has been produced in Canada.

The Black Olive grill has made it easy to have that great taste and flavour with the

push of a button!”

For centuries in Japan, the Kamado style cooker has been the source of great meals.

“This style of cooking reduces shrinkage and retains the moisture in foods, producing succulent, juicy steak, poultry and meats infused with the flavour of perfect wood pellet blends – maple, apple, cherry and hickory.”

Not only does the Black Olive give food the best taste, cooking with the revolutionary grill is easy too.

“The Black Olive does it all – smoking, baking, roasting, grilling and searing.

Imagine enjoying your favourite wheel of brie, giant Portobello mushrooms or even pizza grilled to perfection with the amazing taste of wood pellets. It’s the best grilling experience ever!”

Beautifully designed, easy to control, delicious results, and built to last – the Black Olive is durable and tough, able to withstand the most extreme climates and retain its good looks. No need to replace rusted out burners, the Black Olive ceramic grill will endure the harshest of cooking environments.

EMC news - This year’s Canada Day show on Parliament Hill will bring together two Canadians who recently captured the world’s attention for very different reasons.

Artists and guests scheduled for the country’s birthday celebration were announced on May 29 by Nation Capital Commission chairman Russell Mills and Canadian Heritage and Official Languages Minister James Moore.

Performer Carly Rae Jepsen, who broke onto the musical scene last year with the infectious hit ‘Call Me Maybe’, is scheduled to perform at the noon show on July 1, while a special guest known for his recent antics in outer space will also appear.

Astronaut Chris Hadfield, whose photoheavy Twitter messages from the orbiting International Space Station captivated earthlings worldwide, is also scheduled to appear during that noon show.

“As we move closer to the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017, Canada Day is another opportunity to show your pride and celebrate the many things that make Canada great,” said Moore.

The musical lineup will be preceded by traditional ceremony, including a Peace Tower caril-

lon concert at 9 a.m. on July 1, the flag-raising ceremony at 9:30 a.m., and the Changing of the Guard at 10 a.m.

The noon show will include a fly-over by CF-18 fighter jets and the Snowbirds demonstration team. Afternoon programming on the Parliament Hill lawn will trace Canada’s cultural heritage through music.

Both noon and evening shows feature the same headliners – in this case, Jepsen and popular indie band Metric, plus Terri Clark and Karim Ouellet. The noon show adds Marie-Mai and Jennifer Gillis, while the evening show, which starts at 7:30 p.m., adds DJ Abeille, Lucie Idlout, Radio Radio, and Sylvain Cossette.

Numerous partners allow the show to be staged.

“The NCC wished to acknowledge the valuable support of private partners, federal institutions, collaborators and our more than 500 volunteers for their involvement in making the Capital a meeting place that communicated Canada to Canadians,” said Mills.

A full list of events, activities and times can be found at www.pch.gc.ca/canadaday.

Poster contest raises awareness about dating violence Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC- news The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre honoured the three winners of the teen relationship poster contest on May 29.

The annual contest was created three years ago to educate teens about creating healthy dating relationships and discouraging violence against women among high school students.

Earlier this year, peer support workers from the resource centre, who assist women who are victims of abuse, toured high schools in the city’s west end, running seminars about how to prevent or stop abusive relationships.

The workers showed a video about abusive relationships to grades 7 and 8 students and then held a question and answer sessions during the seminars.

“I don’t think they realized they’re subject to dating violence,” said Terry Longhorn, one of the peer support workers. “One in three of them are subject to dating violence and that sort of shocks them.”

The resource centre also held a poster contest, asking grades 9 and 12 students at west end high schools what they would like to say about

relationship abuse.

“We have to start the conversation,” said Phyl Powell, a peer support worker. “And the conversation has to start in schools.”

The centre received 300 entries from both male and female students and offered prize money to the top-three entries.

“Each year I’m blown away about what the youth are producing,” said Cathy Jordan, executive director of the resource centre, who handed out the awards.

Sarah Davis and Kylie Hailstone from South Carleton High School took first place with their entry Fight the Silence.

The winning entry encourages students to “speak up about relationship abuse.”

A pair of Earl of March Secondary School students, Courtney Black and Ibrahim Gheriani, finished in second and third place.

Courtney’s poster listed excuses victims make for their abusers such as: “He didn’t mean to” and “I just made him mad. He said it won’t happen again.”

Ibrahim’s entry was titled Your Silence is Their Greatest Weapon, and encourages witnesses not to “overlook it.

Report it.”

“A lot of them talked about breaking the silence,” said

Longhorn. “By keeping quiet they’re giving power to the abuser.”

All the winning entries showed photographs of teenage girls with hands over their mouths, preventing them from speaking out.

“The fact that this issue is such a silent issue, that’s where we came up with the idea of the hand over the mouth,” said Kylie.

The first step to stopping dating violence is to confront the abuser, said Ibrahim.

“When someone doesn’t tell the abuser, they can keep doing it,” he said.

Courtney said she learned a lot about the behaviour of victims of abuse.

“A lot of people are making excuses to be with that person because they don’t realize the seriousness of the issue,” she said.

Men can also be victims of abuse, said Ibrahim.

“Men do get abused, but it’s not reported, because it’s a shame,” he said. “It’s a difficult issue for a guy.”

Starting next year, the resource centre will start the poster contest in September, and peer support workers will look to visit as many as schools as possible.

“We have to start the conversation,” said Powell. “And the conversation has to start in schools.”

EMC news - A new bylaw came into effect to regulate clothing donation bins on June 3.

Whether on public or private property, the bins must state if they are affiliated with a charity, which one it is collecting for along with the registration number, and must have a working phone number, said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, who first raised the issue in 2011.

Bins must also state if they are collecting for a for-profit business.

“If you see a box that’s overflowing or you want to call to see what exactly they’re doing with the stuff you give them, there has to be a working number,” he said. “Most importantly, they now have to have the permission of the landowner.”

Before the bylaw was put into effect, donation bins were just “showing up,” he said.

The Salvation Army and Neighbourhood Services are both charities approved by the city, said Hubley.

“Because they’re local charities and they’re doing things to help our community.”

Hubley added that people can now make an informed decision when donating their clothes.

“Now you’ll know where your stuff is going and it’s up to you what you want to do,” he said.

Bylaw officers will be checking donation bins but if people notice something that isn’t in compliance with the new bylaws, they are encouraged to call 311 and report any discrepancies, said Hubley.

“I would encourage people to take a look at the sign on those boxes and make sure that they comply with the bylaws.”

Hubley first raised the issue about clothing bins in 2011. At that time, the Jubilee Donations bins – especially one at Jack Charron Arena – were of particular concern, Hubley said, because they were not emptied regularly and it wasn’t clear if Jubilee was a registered charity. Hubley called the phone number listed on the box and determined that Jubilee is a storage company.

Crab apple tree stolen from Bridlewood yard Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - Serge Pelletier has seen his fair share of vandalism and property crime, but he never expected to be filing a police report about a stolen tree.

The Bridlewood man was flummoxed when he woke up one Monday morning to discover a large hole in his front yard where he had planted a crab apple tree, a crime that has startled the neighbourhood.

“Everybody is gobsmacked,” he said. “Nobody’s stolen trees before.”

The sapling was only a week in the ground when it was dug up and stolen sometime during the night of Sunday, May 26.

Everybody is gobsmacked. Nobody’s stolen trees before.

SERGE PELLETIER BRIDLEWOOD RESIDENT

The 52-year-old retired soldier and his wife, Carole Malenfant had purchased the seven-foot tree for $120 at a local nursery, a centerpiece for the front yard of their home on Speers Crescent, where they had recently put in a new lawn and installed flower boxes.

“All the neighbours said it was a great looking tree,” said Pelletier.

The couple last saw the tree at around 9:30 p.m. on Sunday night.

“The next morning I came out and my brother was leaving. I turned

and I looked and I said, ‘What? No tree?’” said Malenfant.

Her first thought was some animal had gotten at the sapling and dragged it away.

“Maybe deer came through the side,” she said. “But there were no pieces of it.”

Then she noticed a trail of dirt leading away from the hole onto the street.

Malenfant hopped on her bike and followed the debris, which led to a nearby path on the Trans Canada Trail.

“We figured it might have just been vandalism,” said Pelletier. “You know, pull out the tree and leave it somewhere else. It was small enough you could carry it.”

Eventually, the trail of dirt disappeared, and Malenfant abandoned her pursuit.

Const. Marc Soucy, a spokesman for Ottawa police, said this is the first case of a tree-napping that he’s come across.

“In 25 years that would be one of the first times I’ve heard of it,” he said. “I’ve never heard of anything like that and I’ve worked in rural areas.”

Over the past couple of years, homeowners on Speers Crescent have reported incidents of graffiti and broken car windows.

“What can be done?” said Pelletier. “Not much.

“We’ll be installing (an outdoor surveillance) camera because we’ve had the back window of a car broken in the past.”

Pelletier said the stolen tree was probably a random act of vandalism.

“We’re just sad that things like this happen in the neighbourhood.”

Carole Malenfant and her husband, Serge Pelletier, are baffled after they woke up one morning to discover a hole in the ground where they had planted a crab apple tree sapling.

VISIT TO HOUSING ASSOCIATIONS Last week, as Chair of Ottawa’s Community Housing Board, I spent a day in Toronto to learn more about housing issues and the agencies that provide support, information and education for social housing providers.

I met with Sharad Kerur, CEO Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association (ONPHA), Gene Jones CEO of the Toronto Community Housing (TCH) and Howie Wong, CEO of Housing Services Corporation (HSC). ONPHA serves its more than 700 housing providers with information, advocacy, training and more. TCH is the largest social housing provider in Ontario and has similar issues to those in Ottawa, including working to update older buildings and ensuring that people live in communities where they can take an active role in improving their situations. HSC was set up by the province to provide joint services, additional training and are working on creating accreditation for housing staff. A very interesting day – I learned a lot that will assist me in carrying out my role in Ottawa and supporting our tenants.

These lands were purchased by the City of Kanata to create a 25 acre park and to develop the remaining lands into a high density town centre. The park has been created and City staff are now considering how to proceed with developing the remaining lands. Decisions have not yet been made, so you can participate in the early stages of adapting preliminary plans from Kanata to the present.

EMC news - A developer is looking to add two storeys to its plans for construction of a 10-storey apartment building on Maritime Way in Kanata Lakes.

Group Lepine has applied for a minor variance for the changes to its building plan from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee of adjustment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider two storeys minor variances,â&#x20AC;? said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, during a town hall meeting held at the Kanata Seniors Centre on May 23.

The committee of adjustment is a quasi-judicial tribunal appointed by city council, which acts autonomously from city administrations. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powers are derived from Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Planning Act of Ontario.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a trend among Ottawa developers to apply for last-minute additions or extras, which may not be popular, at the committee of adjustment, said Wilkinson.

Groupe Lepineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action came as a shock to members of a committee, made up of residents living nearby the proposed development, who negotiated the apartmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s height and build-

Peter Sherhols, a member of the committee, comprised of residents from Country Club Estates, Village Green and Kanata Lakes, said the developer should stick to the original agreement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the same kind of

committee to discuss Groupe Lepineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request.

A date had not been set for the committee of adjustment meeting when the Kourier-Standard went to press.

Francesca Lepine, one of the owners of Groupe Lepine, said a 12-storey apartment building wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be significantly higher than the other four buildings in the complex, as it will be constructed on Maritime Way and Canadian Shield, a lower grade of land. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really, people have to remember the land is sloped here,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be one storey higher than the building behind it.â&#x20AC;?

Lepine said the project meets with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal of urban intensification. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel with the slope of the land and the look of the project and, most importantly, the location is where the city needs more density, this is an ideal location to place that density,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Were not in the middle of residential houses; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not impacting any residential houses.â&#x20AC;?

The complex is also located near one of the stops for a future extension of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rapid transit line, she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is where you want to locate as many people as possible.â&#x20AC;?

The apartment complex will consist of a five-storey structure, two 10-storey buildings -- one of which has already been built and another is under construction -- and a 12-storey building, said Lepine.

Plans for the complex include a skating rink, common area and playground located in the middle of a courtyard and a walkway.

Groupe Lepine also want to build an underground parking lot for the facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel his is a positive addition to the community.â&#x20AC;?

EMC news - Two Kanataarea designers are putting their fashion forward to raise funds for two charities.

Emilia Torabi and Jana Hanzel of Jana and Emilia Fashion Design Studio, will be selling their wares to fundraise for the Do It For Daron foundation and the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

Partial proceeds from all sales will be donated to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

Dream team ready to West Carleton Review roll for Roger's House Walk, Roll & Run will take place at Scotiabank Place on June 16 Font_PalatinoLinotype_Bold Location_MyriadPro_Bold ALL TYPE OUTLINED

Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - Chris Neil’s dream team won’t score many goals but they’re sure to win a few hearts.

The team, made up of six children from the greater Ottawa area who are receiving treatment and respite services for life-limiting illnesses, are leading the charge for this year’s Walk Roll & Run fundraiser at Scotiabank Place on June 16.

Neil and his wife Caitlyn were on hand at the Ottawa Senators home arena on May 31 to introduce the children and officially kick off the 10th-annual fundraiser for Roger’s House.

“It’s so inspiring to visit the children and families at the house,” said Caitlyn. “Understanding the challenges they face every day and how they persevere is incredible.”

The veteran of this year’s dream team is Isabella Carriere, an 11-year-old who has been with the pediatric palliative care centre since it first opened its doors in 2006.

The Lancaster, Ont. girl has metachromic leukodystrophy, a rare genetic disease that results in a loss of brain function, and physical symptoms including muscle wasting, paralysis, blindness and dementia. There is no cure.

“We go there sometimes for help when we don’t know how to treat her,” said Isabella’s mother Melissa.

Last month, Melissa and her husband Stephane took Isabella to Rogers House because she was having trouble sleeping and cried throughout the night.

“Now she’s sleeping good,” said Melissa.

“We’re pleased.”

Now in its seventh year of operation, Roger’s House has admitted more than 2,200 children from across Ontario and western Quebec battling serious illnesses.

The eight-bedroom facility, located on the grounds of CHEO, provides a home away from home for the child and their family, where staff and volunteers provide treatment and

respite care.

Four-year-old Campbell Labonte, an Embrun boy who has cerebral palsy and is deaf and blind, was admitted to Roger’s House two years ago.

“It was the best decision we could have made,” said Campbell’s mom, Joanna. “It’s provided such great support to our family; I mean we’re forever thankful. It’s a resource that we’ll always be able to use until Campbell’s 18, and for that we know it’s going to bring a lot of hope to our family.”

Joanna and her husband Bert both work fulltime jobs in the Canadian Armed Forces.

“Roger’s House offers us that break when we need it, to just rejuvenate and feel ourselves again.”

Roger’s House was a great help for Alex Vanzyl, whose 18-month-old daughter Maci has Phelan-McDermid syndrome, a rare chromosomal disorder which impairs speech, movement and development, and requires 24-hour care. Maci is fed using a tube and sleeps hooked up to a machine to assist her breathing.

“She’s deemed palliative because she needs equipment to sleep at night,” said Vanzyl.

Even with the help of her mother, providing continuous care for a child with a life-threatening disease is exhausting, said the single mom from Beaverbrook.

“It’s just a break for me,” Vanzyl said of the help she received from Roger’s House. “They’ll take care of her, they cuddle her they love her, it’s like extended family.

“We mainly use it for respite, but there’s times when we’re admitted to CHEO and then we’ll just go to Roger’s House and stay for a bit and we’re totally comfortable and then go home.”

Henry Newton, an eight-year-old Ashton boy, has been visiting Roger’s House for the past two years, receiving respite care.

Henry has Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a difficult-to-treat form of epilepsy that appears between the ages of two to three, characterized by frequent seizures.

“He has hundreds of little seizures every day,” said his mother Miranda.

Two years ago, Henry was able to sit up, talk and manoeuvre his wheelchair.

“The seizures came on suddenly and robbed him of that,” said Miranda. He’s not really talking anymore. He’s having a hard time holding himself up.”

Miranda and her husband Terry have gradually improved the situation with the help of the staff and volunteers at Roger’s House.

“It gives us breaks,” said Miranda.

“It gives us time to spend with the other two kids. I don’t worry about him while he’s there. They take care of him and they look after us as well,” she added. “It’s about the whole family, not just Henry.”

FUNDING

About a quarter of the home’s funding comes from the Ottawa Senators Foundation, which raises near-

ly $800,000 annually through events like Walk, Roll & Run. “The community has been so supportive,” said Lloyd Cowin, executive director of Roger’s House. “We really appreciate it.”

The money pays for medical supplies, special equipment for the kids, bereavement support for the families and the special extras that make Roger’s House a home, such as a children’s playroom.

“These families have a lot to deal with in their lives and anything we can do to help them is a real plus,” said Cowin.

The number of applicants seeking a spot at Roger’s House keeps going up from year to year.

comfortable with.”

The money from the upcoming Walk, Roll & Run will help pay for that renovation.

“We’re afraid we’re going to go over capacity in the coming year,” said Cowin.

The children’s treatment centre takes in 450 patients a year and has a case load of 160 kids at any given time.

“We usually have occupancy of 85 per cent, which is about ideal for us, because it gives us a little wiggle room to deal with emergencies,” he said.

The house hopes to turn its basement into a teen recreation room, with a pool table, a television set and a stereo.

“Right now the playroom is younger child oriented,” Cowin said.

“We’d like to have a place teens feel

FUNDRAISER

This year’s Walk, Roll & Run will feature a tot-trot, and two-kilometre and five-kilometre routes, suitable for people of all ages.

Scotiabank Place will also offer a family fun zone, which includes Sens Street Tour activities, such as balloon artists, face painters and a barbecue.

Anyone who wants to support the event can register and collect pledges or sponsor Chris and Caitlin Neil at www.sensfoundation.com.

Girls Night Out raises $90,000 for hospice services Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The seventh-annual Girls Night Out in support of hospice services was a smashing success.

More than 800 women attended the sold-out event in support of Friends of Hospice Ottawa. The soiree, held at Algonquin College on May 31, raised just under $90,000, with funds still being counted on June 4.

“It’s amazing, I’m just so thrilled,” said Lisa Sullivan, executive director of Friends of Hospice.

“Everyone is having fun.”

Women of all ages enjoyed the evening’s festivities.

Firefighters escorted everyone to their tables while entertainer George Thomas had ladies dancing on chairs, leading conga lines and vying for the bragging rights of “best table.”

Linda Brown, a Richmond resident, attends the event every year with the other women in her family, which includes her daughters, stepdaughter and sister-in-law.

“We have a really good time,” said Brown. “And it’s a good cause.”

The organization recently bought Trinity Presbyterian Church on McCurdy Drive to help co-ordinate all its efforts under one roof.

The sale closes in June.

“We’re going to slowly start moving in,” said Sullivan.

So far, around $1.6 million has been raised for the new hospice facility in south Kanata, but at least $6 million is needed to complete the project, which will include a residential wing for hospice beds.

“The support we get from all of you, I know we’re going to be able to do that,” said Sullivan.

Now if she is not a beauty then what is she... look at those eyes and fall in love. She has longer fur which is highlighted with white parts on brown, gold and amber. I can see her just lying there and enjoying a good brushing and purring her little heart out. Look at those whiskers... soo long LOL. She is sweetness itself and a lovely young lady who could bring you such joy and companionship.

1st Kanata Scouts

EMC news - More than 1,000 local Scouts took part in the Carleton Area Camporee, held from May 24 to 26 at Fitzroy Park.

The theme was Explorers and Scouts, Scout leaders and parents of all ages braved the cold nights and cool days with activities related to the theme.

The Beavers Scouts (ages five to seven) and Cubs Scouts (eight to 10 years old) rotated through fun-filled games all morning and early afternoon.

The Scouts (11 to 13 years old) and Venturers (ages 14 to 17) were down at the waterfront doing their skill-based activities.

In the case of the Venturer raft building activity, the planning, teamwork and knots were most important. Only the top raft could brave the high winds and the whitecaps.

Late in the afternoon, everyone had free time to relax, or continue playing games with their fellow Scouts. Supper was large-

ly put together with the help from parent volunteers with many sections having a small feast.

The Scouts have a great tradition of inviting Scouts from different areas of the city to come and share dessert.

Fresh fruit skewers with just a sprinkling of sugar on the grill were but one of the tasty options available.

The Saturday evening concluded with the traditional section campfire where skits, songs and a few too many repeat after me songs were provided for entertainment.

Sunday began to warm up just in time for packing the tents, Scouts Own and the closing ceremonies.

Awards were given out for the best campsites with their theme props and costumes.

Everyone had a great time sharing in the spirit of Scouting and can’t wait to be back next year.

Early and discounted fall registration is available for a limited time.

Realtors renew push for grow-op registry laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Ontario residents are still at risk of unknowingly buying a home that housed a marijuana-growing operation or drug lab, the provincial real estate association said on May 28 as it renewed its push for a provincial registry.

As members of the Ontario Real Estate Association gathered west of the city in Perth, Ottawa real estate agent and Riverside South resident Pat Verge called on the provincial government to act now to let the public know when a home has been damaged or its safety compromised by housing a growing operation .

Verge called the prevalence of grow-ops in Ottawa “alarming” and said everyone has a right to know if that’s what they are buying – or in her case, selling.

It’s not to say that those homes shouldn’t be sold to new owners, Verge said. But people should be aware that the home is damaged because it means they may have to spend upwards of $100,000 to $150,000 to repair it and make it safe.

One of the main concerns

is mould that grows as a result of the moist conditions needed to grow marijuana plants, but faulty electrical wiring used to conceal heavy power use can also be a problem. If the home is used as a lab to make drugs such as methamphetamine, harmful chemicals could remain.

“I almost sold one,” Verge said.

Verge is allergic to mould and her suspicions were aroused when she began sneezing in the home she was selling. She called the police and “went up the ladder” to track paperwork that could confirm her suspicions.

“I was just so upset,” Verge said. “The thought of how I could do that to a family …”

The city has made baby steps in the right direction, Verge said. The Ottawa police have a list of known grow-op locations where charges have been laid, but that list only dates back three months. Large operations that are busted by the RCMP aren’t included on that list. And the list doesn’t acknowledge the real number of growing operations that the police may never find out about. At any give time, it is estimated there are 300 to 400 active grow ops in Ottawa, police have told Verge.

Members of the Ottawa Real Estate Association are calling for public disclosure of homes that once contained marijuana grow operations.

Another recent local improvement was a bylaw passed last fall that will force people who own homes that become grow ops to pay for them to be fixed. Verge said she gives the city full credit for working to address the issue. ““But we need provincial leadership on this problem,” she said. “It isn’t just in Ottawa where people are unknowingly purchasing former grow ops and

clandestine laboratories – it’s right across Ontario.”

There are ways to find out about the history of a home – for a price. Websites like iverify. com provide home histories, but they charge a fee. That information should be publically accessible, Verge said. The best way to do that would be to register the fact that it was a grow op – and that it has been repaired – on the home’s title.

This little beetle is a highly destructive insect native to the Asian Continent. It was discovered in the Windsor/ Detroit corridor in 2002. It has since destroyed millions of trees.

It was discovered in the City of Ottawa in 2008. Since that time the City of Ottawa, Leeds and Grenville have been quarantined and the movement of ash wood and wood products is prohibited.

The City of Ottawa removed 800 affected trees in the winter of 2011.

The handling of ash trees that have been affected by emerald ash borer can take special techniques.

Gardiner Tree Trimming & Removal Ltd. strives to use the safest methods possible to remove dead and dangerous trees of all species. Our methods use equipment such as a crane, bucket or excavator as the job requires.

Gardiner Tree Trimming & Removal Ltd. offers TreeAzinÂŽ Systemic Insecticide. It is an injectable insecticide formulated with azadirachtin, an extract of neem tree seeds (not neem oil).

TreeAzin is registered by Health Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) (PCP 30559). Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ministry of the Environment (MOE) scheduled TreeAzinÂŽ as a class 4 pesticide or â&#x20AC;&#x153;least hazardous that is

commercialâ&#x20AC;?, with a class 11 active ingredient. TreeAzin is exempt from Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cosmetic Pesticide Ban Act.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR: EAB is a slender, elongate insect about 1/3 - 1/2 inch long.

It is widest just behind the head, gradually tapering back to the abdomen. It is a bright iridescent green to copper-green color, often with a copper colored area behind the head. Its body underneath the wings is a purplish-magenta color.

Trees typically are killed in two to four years. When trees are ďŹ rst attacked by EABs, the symptoms are inconspicuous and hard to notice. By the end of the second year, thinning foliage and dieback in the crown begins to be

apparent. By the third year, there is severe dieback and little foliage.

Ash can tolerate small numbers of EAB larvae but trees are girdled and killed when populations become more numerous.

When the adults emerge, they create small, 1/8 inch D-shaped exit holes that are characteristic of this insect, although they can be hard to see. If you were to remove the bark on the trunk of a tree showing these symptoms, you should also ďŹ nd the larval galleries. Woodpecker attacks on ash could also indicate the presence of emerald ash borers.

City seeks new proposals for Ottawa baseball stadium Michelle Nash

Sheila Perry said.

“It’s been a shame that nothing is going on there,” Perry said. “This is good news, but we wonder if it’s too late in the season for anything. It seems it’s at the last hour.”

According to Dan Chenier, general manager of the parks and recreation department, bookings are already under way and use will begin in the later part of June.

There is no deadline regarding the bookings, but they are done on a first-come-first-served basis, for casual use only.

The report calls for the city to allocate $50,000 in one-time funding to support this programming.

The city has suggested such uses could include ultimate frisbee, cricket and baseball

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC sports - After sitting idle for months awaiting a potential minor league-level tenant, a new city report indicates the Ottawa baseball stadium could open up for community use this summer.

Released on May 28, the report indicates the city needs to revisit the conversation surrounding leasing opportunities for the stadium, adding that the parks and recreation department will take over programming at the facility this summer and fall.

The latest development in the ongoing saga comes as good news for the surrounding community, president of the Overbrook Community Association

leagues.

Opening up use of the facility to the community comes after a year of failed negotiations between the city and Beacon Sports Capital Partners to bring a AA baseball team to Ottawa.

In February 2012, council approved a report that allocated $5.7 million to give the Coventry Road stadium a major upgrade, including the installation of artificial turf.

On direction from city council, staff entered into negotiations with Beacon Sports to form a renovation plan and a lease agreement with an AA baseball franchise.

According to the latest report, city staff and Beacon Sports met numerous times over a five month period following the initial approval.

Three potential groups negotiated to lease the stadium, but all eventually backed off because of renovation costs, now estimated between $10 to $30 million.

Now staff is calling for the parameters surrounding finding a new tenant to be broadened, stating the city needs to take a broader approach to turn the stadium into “a family-friendly entertainment destination that is anchored in professional baseball, but also offers other amenities.”

FACILITY REPAIRS

The facility has not been upgraded since it was built in the early 1990s, but some improvements and maintenance has started. According to Peter

Radke, manager of the city’s realty initiatives and development department, since February 2013 the only work being completed is the final waterproofing of exposed concrete.

Additional work being considered for 2013 relates to electrical, mechanical, and fire and life safety elements of the stadium that must be completed, regardless of tenancy.

The report indicates it would cost around $250,000 The last tenants, the Ottawa Fat Cats, leased the facility from April 2010 to September 2012 on a year-by-year lease. A former general manager of the club, Duncan MacDonald, said the organization paid $108,000 to rent the facility.

During that time, the organization paid for all the main-

tenance and upgrades, which MacDonald said was around $250,000, which was also paid for by the club.

“We paid all the bills,” MacDonald said. “We paid rent in full and in advance and then began fixing up the facility.”

The first thing the organization did, MacDonald said was spend $30,000 just to have the plumbing fixed.

Teams and organizations interested in booking the Ottawa Baseball Stadium can contact city-wide allocations. Casual bookings are done a on firstcome-first-served basis. Staff is available from Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. by phone at 613-580-2595, by e-mail at sports@ottawa.ca or in person at Ben Franklin Place, 101 Centrepointe Dr.

Concert band plays tribute to retired captain by hand for each of the five instruments that played the piece.

“That last song gave me goosebumps,” said one of the retirement residence staff.

The Stittsville Legion Concert Band is an open group for people of all ages who enjoy playing an instrument.

The band, which is now on summer break, will begin meeting again in September on Monday evenings at 7 p.m. For more information, visit stittsvilleconcertband.com.

EMC entertainment - The Stittsville Legion Concert Band put on a rousing show at the Bridlewood Trails Retirement home in honour of a retired Canadian Forces captain on May 27.

Ronald E. J. Milne, best known for his band arrangements and original compositions, was also responsible for composing and arranging the music for the 1967 Canadian Armed Forces Centennial Tattoo, which included Marche Vanier.

The concert performed by the Stittsville band included three of Milne’s pieces: Canadian Sunset, Time to Say Goodbye and Marche Vanier, which Milne guest-conducted.

“That was marvellous!” said Milne, 92, after taking his bow.

“I think the band has got a great deal of promise,” he added after the concert. “They played my Marche Vanier very well.”

Aside from Milne’s compositions and arrangements, the concert band also played music from the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, Fiddler on the Roof, a mix of popular tracks from the ’60s, a medley of songs from the Second World War, and others, which had the audience clapping along and tapping their toes to the sounds.

MILNE

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

Retired Canadian Forces captain, Ronald E. J. Milne, was a guest conductor at a concert performed by the Stittsville Legion Concert Band on May 27.

The May concert came about after a fateful day in December, when the dance band was performing at the retirement residence. Christine Philipson, manager of the Stittsville Legion Concert Band, noticed the name R. E. J. Milne written on a walker.

“I looked at the name on the walker and I said, ‘Capt. Milne? Capt. R. E. J. Milne?’” said Philipson, who plays the flute. “I was totally blown

away.”

She had performed his pieces when she was serving with the Air Force.

She set about organizing a concert, which included three pieces arranged and composed by Milne.

“We play here as often as we can,” she said.

It was the first time Milne’s newest piece, Time to Say Goodbye, was performed. He wrote out all the music

Milne was born in Tooting Junction, London, England, the third of three sons, in a musical family. His father played at in the orchestra of the Paris Opera, and his mother played the piano for silent movies, as well as wrote her own pieces, said Philipson.

Milne joined the Welsh Guards Band at the onset of the Second World War and was the solo trumpet for the Guards. Post war, he created the Stargazers vocal group with friends, working with famous performers as a TV and radio act.

Among other accomplishments, he played violin in the London Symphony Orchestra, and in 1942, he was awarded first prize in the Jazz Jambo-

ree, and Glen Miller presented Milne with his award, he said.

Milne then moved to British Columbia, directly into the military band system, with his wife Vera. After various postings, he was sent to the Canadian Guards in Petawawa, Ont., with a promotion to director of music, said Philipson.

His most prized possession, however, is a letter from Queen Elizabeth II. “She reminded me of occasions where she met me,” said Milne, adding she told him the Stargazers were her favourite group. “(It’s) my most marvellous possession.”

In 1967, Milne completed three sets of music, and the “innovation of using static and marching musicians simultaneously, as backdrops to the gymnastic teams, gun carriage over the chasm teams, motorcycle ballet and many other displays,” said Philipson.

Once finished, Milne resigned from the military to become a music teacher in the Ottawa public school system, said Philipson. He taught at Ottawa Technical and Nepean high schools until he retired in 1986. “(I have) too many memories,” said Milne. “Everything is a good memory.

“I had a terrific life in music. I don’t regret any of it.”

Grubs are destroying my lawn EMC news - The March Rural Community Association will feature a talk about lawn grubs at its next meeting at the Old South March Town Hall, located at 821 March Rd. on June 12, starting at 7:30 p.m.

The featured speaker will be Trevor Cullen, president of Cullen Landscaping, who will be sharing his experience on waging war on lawn grubs.

Many homeowners have noticed dead spots and evidence of digging by skunks, raccoons and other marauders who have torn up grass in search of white grubs this year.

What to do?

Does nematodes treatment work?

Do you start over with new sod? Reseeding? Cullen says it’s been an unusually bad year, and every third call to his landscaping company is about grubs.

Cullen will offer advice, and will also answer other questions about gardens and lawns.

This is an excellent opportunity to hear expert advice from a local professional.

We will also welcome other stories from residents who may have some experience to share on this topic.

The association will also

provide an update on the time capsule fundraiser program for the new recreation complex in north Kanata. Everyone is invited to fill a numbered bamboo cylinder with family mementos and memorabilia.

Purchasers will receive a certificate to record your time capsule.

The cost is $20 each.

Capsules will be for sale at the meeting, and Rebecca Coxon, from Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson’s office will provide more information.

Everyone is always invited and welcome to join the discussion of a variety of issues of interest to the community.

Dumplings headline extravaganza KCSSC

EMC news - Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre will be hosting a fun night for the whole family to welcome summer on June 22 from 5 to 8 p.m.

It will be held at the Glen Cairn United Church at 140 Abbeyhill Dr. The money raised from this event will go into funding the centre’s operating expenses.

The centre is a not-forprofit organisation geared to help seniors integrate into mainstream Canadian society. One of the ways to achieve this is by organising seniors into volunteer teams to take an active role in various community projects.

The highlight of the evening will be a demonstration by seniors on how to make dumplings and the ever popular spring rolls from scratch.

You can cook and eat what you have just learnt to make on the spot.

The concept of this event arose because of many requests from the community to learn how to make dumplings and spring rolls. And this is a great opportunity to bring

the whole family together to have a learning experience in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Besides cooking and eating, we have also designed games and intriguing activities for the kids to participate in.

They will also be able to learn some Chinese culture through writing simple Chinese characters or even how to speak a few words in Chinese.

PERFORMANCES

The event will also showcase Chinese folk and cultural performances which will add vibrancy and colour to the overall atmosphere.

Please register in advance for the dumplings and spring rolls cooking demonstration on a firstcome-first-served basis as there are limited spaces.

The price is $10 per person and you get to make 10 dumplings and 2 spring rolls which you can cook and eat on site. Please email: joannalulu@gmail. com to register.

There is no charge for entrance to the event. We warmly welcome your participation in this joyous occasion.

EMC news - Ottawa police are reminding commuters of the importance of road safety and sharing the road.

Traffic complaints must be reported by phone to 613-236-1222, ext.

7300. Visit ottawapolice.ca for a full list of what’s needed to file a complaint with police.

The following safety tips can help keep drivers, cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians safe on the city’s roadways.

Family Fun Activities! *Little Ray’s Reptiles * Plasma Cars * Magic * Balloons * Crafts * Face Painting* Bike Rodeo*

ROAD SAFETY TIPS:

• Drivers: be sure to always look closely. See more than a motorcycle or a bicycle – see the person under the helmet, who could be a friend, a neighbour, or a family member.

• Always be aware of your surroundings. Motorcycles and bicycles can easily be hidden in a vehicle’s blind spot because of their small size.

Look around before making lane changes and slow down when passing cyclists or motorcycle riders.

• Remember to keep a safe dis-

tance behind any motorcycles on the road. It’s also a good idea to familiarize yourself with bike turn signals so you can recognize them.

• Cyclists: ensure your bicycle handling and traffic skills are in good shape. Know your bike turn signals and obey all traffic rules. Unpredictable movements in traffic can cause collisions.

• Don’t forget, a bicycle needs a headlight, a bell and a red reflector on the back. Most importantly, a helmet could save your life.

• Motorcyclists: over half of all fatal motorcycle crashes involve another vehicle. Safe riding techniques and lane positioning is important.

• Consider taking a motorcycle safety course, wear all your protective gear, including an approved helmet, obey all traffic rules, and ride within your skill limits.

• Pedestrians: you have a role as well and it’s important to pay attention. Remember to look both ways before you cross the street, always use designated crosswalks and cross only when the signal permits.

• Pedestrians should not text while crossing the street.

Ride the Rideau adds new 50-km route Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - The fourth annual Ride the Rideau fundraiser hopes to attract new cyclists with a shorter route for this year’s event.

Organizers at the Ottawa Hospital Foundation have added a 50-kilometre bike ride along the Rideau River to complement the original 100-km ride to fund cancer research on Sept. 7.

Event co-ordinator Michelle van Vliet said riders in the new 50-km category will do half the original route between Ottawa and Merrickville and then will be shuttled the rest of the way to the evening celebration in the small riverside town.

She said the standard $1,500 fundraising minimum will still apply for 50-km riders, because the foundation wants to make as big an impact as possible.

But Van Vliet said distance is often more of a challenge O T T A W A

than fundraising.

“We always thought the $1,500 would be a big barrier, but we’re meeting more and more people who want to do the ride but are terrified of the distance,” she said.

“Every year we’re just trying to create a better rider experience.”

She said team members don’t all have to complete the same route; some can do the full 100km, and others can choose to ride 50km.

“Camaraderie is so important,” she said, noting that many participants are on corporate teams.

“They’re using Ride the Rideau to boost staff morale and staff fitness. It just gives people a chance to train together and fundraise together and build that team.”

In just three years, Ride the Rideau has become the most successful single-day cancer fundraiser in Eastern Ontario.

It has raised more than $4.4 million since it began, and rid-

R E G I O N A L

C A N C E R

ers have helped fund new therapies and the opening of the Centre for Innovative Cancer Research.

Last year the event raised $1.74 million for cancer research with 718 cyclists taking the scenic tour along the world heritage site.

Van Vliet hopes to have 1,000 cyclists this year, as well as 350 volunteers.

She said they are on target and “tracking well ahead of last year” for registrations and fundraising.

She said the foundation would like to surpass their biggest fundraising amount to date, $1.82 million.

Leading up the event, organizers will offer group training rides, skill sessions and bike maintenance workshops.

“Now’s the time (to register),” she said. “It allows for more time to train and also for fundraising.”

Terry Fox Elementary leads pack with technology Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Technology is slowly creeping into many elementary schools, but at Terry Fox Elementary School in Orléans, it’s sprinting.

The school was recently recognized with a technological innovation award at the annual Ottawa Education Gala for integrating technology and involving students.

Recently, students returned from the Skills Ontario competition in Waterloo for Grade 7 and 8 students, where they competed in robotics and video production.

The students placed second in the robotics competition, nailing perfect scores on two of the three challenges, and the video production pair finished in fourth.

It was a bit of a “David and Goliath effort” said teacher Mehmet Yilmaz, who said the students were competing against several private schools which had purchased more expensive robotics kits to built their robots.

Terry Fox was accepted because there were several open spots for teacher nominations, which Yilmaz made. Next year, once school activities are back in full swing, the students will have to win at the board level to be able to move onto the provincial competition.

The students had a small time window to get everything ready, bringing in Lego pieces and parts from home to combine with school resources to build their robots.

“We spent every recess and lunch working on it,” said Grade 7 student

Kurt Lemay, a member of the robotics team. “We even spent a Saturday here.”

The students had to craft robots that could take on three different challenges, each with 15 minutes to complete.

They stumbled only on a challenge when the item to pick up was too heavy – so they pushed it along the track and guided their robot on the necessary path to win points.

In the end, they finished only one point behind the first-place robotics team.

The school’s robotics team isn’t the only high-tech happening at Terry Fox. There is also a video game development club that Yilmaz runs, and a strong video production element mixed into several courses.

Students produce videos on different math lessons, for example, which are posted online. They can then scan the barcode on different study units using a smartphone at home to call up the video and review the lesson.

They’ve developed a partnership with Algonquin College’s animation program, and intermediate students even produce the Terry Fox News.

The school’s received grants – with students writing proposals – and projects funded by the parent council.

With $5,000 in their pockets, Yilmaz hopes nex t year that students can take on a potential project, still under wraps, that would be a first for a Canadian elementary school.

“We use technology to help students take ownership,” Yilmaz said.

“They’re powerful tools that can be used to make a difference.”

Young Findlay Creek gymnast flying high michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - With one eye on future Olympic qualification, one young Ottawa gymnast continues to defy gravity and push his limits to reach the top of his potential.

Samuel Zakuntey has been a gymnast since age four and began competing when he was 10.

He said he’s been passionate about the sport since he started, saying it’s all about the moments he is flying before landing an exercise.

“I guess I just like being in the air,” Samuel said. “It feels like you are soaring.

“It feels like you are doing the impossible, that you are defying gravity.”

The 14-year-old finished first in his age division on May 24 at the Canada Gymnastics Championships, held at Carleton University.

Samuel credits his success to his determination to constantly improving his skills -- something that comes from training six days a week for around four hours a day.

Samuel’s coach, Oleksandr Zavadych said he

sees potential in his student, who picks him up from school and drives him to the gymnasium for practice. Samuel said the support he receives from his family, friends and coach has been integral to his training.

“Without this support, I wouldn’t have the time to train,” Samuel said.

The grueling schedule is made possible because the teen attends École secondaire catholique Franco-Cité, which Samuel said works around his training schedules, allowing him to leave early, or miss time because of competitions.

The fight to the top is not easy, however, Samuel admits, and there are times when he feels left out at either school.

“I don’t really have a social life, to be honest,” Samuel said.

“Sometimes at school, other kids will be talking about a television show that I don’t know about, and I feel left out. It’s a pain to feel like that, but to know that I am doing what I love, it helps me feel like I am making the right choice.”

Other times, he said he becomes his worst enemy, as he is in constant competition with himself.

Samuel’s ultimate goal is to qualify for the 2020 Olympics, and if all goes well, he would love to be considered an alternate at the 2016 Olympics.

“Making it and representing my country would be amazing to me,” Samuel said.

Battling back from an injury, Samuel said this year has been hard.

A strain in his biceps threatened to see him forfeit some of the competition, but with only days before the national competition he managed to bounce back and take the top spot in his division.

“At times when I get scared, but instead of thinking about the risks, I think about the steps to get through it,” he said.

Injuries make it difficult to perform trickier moves, but sometimes it taking risks are required to be successful in competitions.

“Injuries are stressful,” he said. “All the time you are

taking risks, risks of really hurting yourself, but also, at the same time, you are also making yourself stronger -that’s the important part.”

Samuel said once summer rolls around, he will take a break from training and competing, but not a long one.

“Taking a break is nice,

I’m happy to relax but then I get antsy and want to get back to it as soon as I can.”

Veterans Lunch To register call: 613-591-5570 or 613-592-3376 Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa launches third annual Tribuddy program to help train underprivileged children in swimming, cycling and running On May 7, 2013, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa (BBBSO) launched the third annual Tribuddy program which matches youth between the ages of 8 and 14 with volunteer adult triathletes to help train in swimming, cycling and running.

Since 2011, BBBSO has matched more than 30 underprivileged youth with adult triathletes and this year, Tribuddy has 16 matches, up from 11 in 2012.

“We are very proud of the difference we have made in the lives of the youth involved in our program. Our adult buddies have also benefited from the program and in most cases have continued their participation,” says Gerry Thauvette, founder of the Tribuddy program.

The goal of BBBSO’s Tribuddy program is to foster a positive and fun triathlon learning experience, and inspire youth to become active.

“The best part of this program is being able to have fun and enjoy doing something,” says Mackenzie Prince, a third-year Tribuddy youth. “I won my first ever medal last year in the mountain biking category, but my favourite part is running.”

The Tribuddy program’s success wouldn’t be possible without the support of local sponsors including Bushtukah, Mizuno and Zoot, as well as the help from volunteers. But, BBBSO is still short on supplies. To help the 16 participating children, BBBSO needs to raise $3,600 or receive the necessary gear, including bicycles, helmets, running shoes, and running clothes.

If you’re interested in donating equipment, or would like more information about the Tribuddy program, please contact Jennifer Mitchell at 613-247-4776 ext. 317 or jennifer.mitchell@ bigbrothersbigsisters.ca. If you’d like to donate money to help the Tribuddy program, you can text Bigottawa to 45678 to make a $10.00 donation or donate online at www.bbbso.ca.

Don’t make assumptions this week, Aries. You just can’t trust your gut instincts too much right now. It’s better to get all of the facts and act accordingly.

Playing matchmaker isn’t so easy, Taurus. You have to understand when people are compatible and when there just isn’t a spark.

Let this one go.

Gemini, you may have to pull back your focus on a problem in order to see it in a new light. Take some time away to regroup and then you can come back at full strength.

A romantic relationship can be a balancing act, Cancer. You will learn this first hand this week when you have to come to a compromise with your partner.

Leo, don’t apologize if you feel like you have to go your own way this week. Even when everyone seems to be going in another direction, sometimes you just have to set your own course.

Virgo, while others may not be able to handle the confusion this week, you are fully capable of multi-tasking and making it through unscathed.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes.

To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Libra, you may feel more emotionally charged this week but you still have to think with your head and not your heart. A financial decision may need to reassessed.

Scorpio, look at a situation with a practical eye. Is this really the best answer for the time being? Although you may be leaning one way, you might want to reconsider.

Sagittarius, you need to get work done this week and that can’t happen when you are continually distracted. You might have to nip this one in the bud -- quickly.

A friend needs your support more than ever, Capricorn. Go to great lengths to give this person what they need, even if it means rearranging your schedule.

An email or other correspondence from a past friend could stir up feelings you weren’t ready to deal with right now, Aquarius. Put this on the back burner until you are ready.

Pisces, you are more interested in independence this week than hanging out in large groups. This includes hanging out with your spouse or partner.
