EMC news – Enough is enough, said Cathy Curry. Curry has resigned as Kanata trustee, saying she is tired of serving on what she called a “dysfunctional” Ottawa-Carleton District School Board. Frustrated with the behaviour of some of her fellow trustees, Curry said some of her colleagues were acting more like lobbyists for their individual zones instead of representatives for the board’s 150 schools and 70,000 students. “Really, from the day I started, I always was sitting at meetings thinking there’s something not right here. This can’t be what we’re supposed to be doing,” she said. “Our governing board is really dysfunctional.” Decisions are sometimes made against the best advice of staff and consultants, said Curry, with trustees sometimes ridiculing staff during board meetings. “There’s a group of seven trustees that tend to make the
decisions based on what the lobbyists want or (based on) their own platforms and they vote together as a block.” But board chair Jennifer Mackenzie said trustees work well together and denied the presence of any voting block. “People vote towards their own conscience,” she said. “There’s been many instances of unanimous votes and various configurations of votes depending on how people see the issue.” Curry announced her resignation on Friday June 29, following a graduation ceremony at Earl of March Secondary School in Beaverbrook. LEGISLATIVE CHANGES
Before she left, Curry sent a letter to Ontario’s deputy minister of education, calling for sweeping legislative changes to trustees’ decisionmaking powers as well as for an investigation of “abuses of power” by trustees at the Ottawa public board. See CURRY, page 17

Vandals topple Kanata monument to fallen soldiers
Have your say! news@yourkanata.com
patricia.lonergan@metroland.com
EMC news - A stone Inukshuk that stood as a monument to fallen Canadian soldiers now lies in pieces on the lawn of the Royal Canadian Legion’s national headquarters in Kanata. Sometime overnight on Wednesday, June 27 the statue was likely toppled by vandals.
This was a monument to those who fell in the fight to protect our rights and freedoms. BOB BUTT, ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION
Royal Canadian Legion outreach director Bob Butt said the act was “very deliberate,” given that the statue weighs roughly 450 kilograms and was cemented to the ground. Legion members, who noticed the broken statue when they arrived for work around 7:30 a.m. Thursday, filed a police report. For about a year now, the Inuksuk has stood as a memorial to all those who died while serving in Afghanistan. It was
built and donated by Richard Leger, whose wife Claire was a national Silver Cross mother. Their son Marc was one of the first killed in Afghanistan, Butt explained. A special double-dedication ceremony was held in September 2011 for the statue and a tree that stands beside it. The tree was dedicated to those who served in Afghanistan. The stone statue stood vigil at one end of the memorial garden situated at the corner of Aird Place and Castlefrank Road. At the other end is a tree that was planted by Princess Margaret. While the monument has only been in place for about a year, the park has been a memorial site for six years now, according to Butt, who said this is the first time they’ve experienced vandalism in the area. He said he’s hopeful the person or people responsible for toppling the monument will come forward and “own up to it.” Butt added that he’d like to explain the impact of such an act and have those responsible meet some veterans from Afghanistan. “This was a monument to those who fell in the fight to protect our rights and freedoms,” Butt said, noting 158 Canadians died in Afghani-

He said he’s hopeful the Inukshuk can be repaired. The granite plaque, which the heavy stone statue landed on and damaged, will have to be replaced. Costs to fix the damage are not yet known. Brett Wilson, Canadian entrepreneur and Dragon’s Den personality, offered a reward to find the vandal. “I will put up $1,000 as a
reward to find vandals who wrecked a soldier’s memorial in Ottawa,” he posted on Twitter. Wilson’s comment prompted others to reach out and match the reward. Evident, a corporate investigations company in Saskatchewan and Sean Libin, a Calgary marketing, advertising and public relations executive, both offered to match the $1,000 reward.

EMC news - An 18-yearold cyclist is dead after hitting a light pole on McNeil Court in Kanata on June 27. The young man was identified as Bell High School student Mahmoud Lokman Eid by the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board. He was scheduled to graduate on Friday, June 29. “On behalf of the students, staff and parent community of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board and especially the Bell High School community, we extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mahmoud Lokman Eid,” said Jennifer Adams, director of education, in a statement. The board sent a crisis management team to offer support to students and staff. “Our school community is in mourning and together we will support each other in this time of need,” said Adams.
Students took to Twitter to post their thoughts. “Rest in peace Mahmoud Lokman, you’ll be missed by everyone who was blessed to have known you. Keep that beautiful smile on in Heaven,” wrote Erin-Leigh Gerrard. “So sorry to hear about Mahmoud Lokman, such a positive and inspirational guy, he will be sincerely missed. Rest in peace,” said Natalia Bushnik. The school hosted its graduation ceremony on Friday, June 29. A memorial book has been set up inside the front doors to the main office and will be available to sign from July 3 to July 14. HEAD INJURY
Castlefrank Road was closed between Hazeldean Road and McCurdy Drive as paramedics responded to a call at about 3:30 p.m. on June 27 for an injured cyclist. They treated 18-year-old Eid for a severe head injury. He was unconscious when paramedics arrived and he died while being transported to hospital. He was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival at hospital.

Developer Ken Hoppner, of the Morley Hoppner Group, and his team of architects and planners revised their plan in April to include a six-storey apartment complex coupled with two-storey townhomes. The original plan asked for the city to rezone the property to allow for a 16-storey residential building. Wilkinson, who has yet to see full report by the city for 2 The Parkway, said the developer has asked for more discussions with the city. “I take it he doesn’t like the recommendations,” she said. “I’m disappointed it’s taking so long because it keeps the uncertainty out there.”

Hazeldean library to host grand re-opening Staff
EMC events - After a six month closure, the Hazeldean library branch will celebrate the completion of its retrofit with a grand re-opening ceremony on Saturday, July 7. The library opened to the public last month after approximately $500,000 in renovations, which included: • The introduction of a radio frequency identification system to help sort the books. • The expansion of the library’s self service, including self check-in stations. • Enhanced accessibility and improved public spaces.
Mom, can we go to another one?
• The installation of new carpets, fresh paint and meeting area redesigns. The official re-opening celebration will include presentations from city councillors Allan Hubley and Jan Harder, who is also the Ottawa Public Library Board chair, and representatives from the library foundation and Friends of the Ottawa Public Library. A magic show and refreshments will follow the presentations. The grand re-opening will be held at the Hazeldean library branch, located at 50 Castlefrank Rd., starting at 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 7.

Stay safe, stay alive on water this summer
H
owever you choose to spend time this summer, remember to keep safety in mind – especially if those plans include time on the water. The Canadian Safe Boating Council has issued a notice calling on more of us to take more seriously the issue of personal flotation devices (PFDs), better known as life preservers or life jackets. Every few days each sum-
mer – especially after weekends – there are sad stories to be told about another Canadian losing their life to drowning. W e’re a nation of rivers, lakes and streams, and so many of us love getting out on the water. Too many of us – whether out for a day of fishing, canoeing or pleasure boating – still choose to head out without either wearing a PFD or having the requisite number
of life jackets on board. The end result, as the organization outlines, can be tragic. The question, of course, is why? Why do so many adults not wear this potentially lifesaving gear? Many likely feel they are strong enough swimmers to overcome any unforeseen situation. But whether it’s a strong undertow or the shock of hitting cold water causing what the council refers to as “gasp
reflex,” there’s really no way of knowing how one will react once overboard. If you still think life jackets have to be made out of bulky slabs of Styrofoam, you need to take a look at today’s store shelves. The latest designs now on the market are lightweight and come in a range of styles and colours that should suit any fashion taste. They’re not much bulkier or heavier than a T-shirt.
There’s even a new inflatable design that can come with automatic inflation that fills the PFD with air as soon as you hit the water. Some boaters will still say a short trip doesn’t necessitate the bother of even placing a PFD in the vessel. And yet statistics tell a different story. There are close to 140 unnecessary drownings in Canada every year, according to the safe boating council. And roughly 80 per cent of
those recreational boaters who lose their life on the water weren’t wearing a life jacket. A vast majority of parents make sure their toddlers and youngsters wear a PFD in the water. It’s time they set aside the excuses and lead by example by donning the gear as well. Regardless of the situation, life jackets do save lives. As the council promotes: It’s Your Life...Preserve It.
COLUMN
Onward and, inevitably, upward CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
M
aybe the tide is turning against tall buildings. And maybe not. Sure, the Ontario Municipal Board recently struck down a proposal to build some in Westboro on a residential street. That the proposed towers were more than twice the height for which the street was zoned might have had something to do with it, except that the argument hasn’t worked too well in the past. For that reason, it seems too early to celebrate. There is every indication the tide is in fact not turning against tall buildings. We are reading almost every day about similarly oversized structures that are going ahead. It used to be front-page news when this happened. After all, this is a city in which, for the longest time, the Peace Tower was supposed to be the tallest building allowed. But now, it’s tower after tower, each taller than the last. Less than two weeks after the supposed victory over developers in Westboro, the newspapers carried, on inside pages, news of a 27-storey tower on Nepean Street and a 30-storey job on Preston. You can look down on the Peace Tower from both of them. The public is mystified, because the public can’t see what’s driving this. Does anybody like tall buildings? Is anybody, other than a developer, demanding more of them? Did any candidate for city council run on a platform of bringing more tall buildings to the city? No, is the answer to that last one and yet city council seems to have all but given up when faced with yet another request to build something considerably taller than what we thought was allowed. Councillors are reduced to arguing about which design has the prettier balconies, while the
question of how tall the building is hangs in the air, undebated. Other preposterous statements, such as the claim that new towers won’t cause increased traffic and parking difficulties go unchallenged. They fly in the face of common sense, but common sense somehow vanishes when planning-speak is the language of the day. It is assumed, perhaps, that the developers will win in the end, given the notoriously pro-developer record of the Ontario Municipal Board, to which any appeal would be directed. And even now, when the OMB has shown a willingness to take a contrary position, the skyline climbs mostly uncontested and the shadows lengthen across the neighborhoods. The argument in favour of all this is familiar: we need more people living near the centre of the city to prevent urban sprawl and a larger influx of cars. The argument against is familiar too: the city is going back on a bargain it made with its residents and who’s to say that those new people living near the centre of the city won’t bring their cars anyway? What we don’t want is to wind up like Toronto, where new condo towers pop up like dandelions and cars choke the streets. And don’t forget the construction period brings considerable inconvenience to the neighbourhood for many months at a time. For the moment, opposition to higher rises is coming mostly from community groups, who lack financial resources and whose credibility is usually under attack. It would be interesting to see the politicians take a larger role. In the next election campaign, would anybody dare question the very idea of growth, the assumption we all seem to share that a city can never get too big? Would anybody run on a platform that says the city is big enough and our resources should be put into improving the lives of those who live here, rather than building higher for those who don’t live here yet? That would be something to see. It would spark a useful debate about what a city should be and for whom.

Report brings to light fundraising issues To the editor: Thank you to EMC and Metroland reporters for shining a light on a very under-reported problem in Ontario: the pressure parents are feeling to fund raise for everything from crayons to playground equipment. There isn’t a week that goes
by where parents are asked to contribute to this school cause or that, without regard to whether they are able to afford these expenses. Add school trips into the equation, competitions for fundraising dollars between schools, and we have a situation
requiring the kind of investigative work EMC and Metroland has done. I hope your report lights a fire under the Ontario government. Sincerely, Joe Banks Osgoode
Ontario One Call bill becomes law EMC news – Call before you dig. And now there’s a single number for all information on buried services. The Ontario Underground Infrastructure Notification System Act has received Royal Assent, the final step in becoming provincial law.
It establishes a not-forprofit, single point-of-contact call system for all underground infrastructure location services in Ontario. The new industry-led One Call system ensures that homeowners, surveyors and contractors alike can trust that all underground utilities at the location of a dig will be marked. Economic analysts estimate that failing to locate all
underground and overhead utilities results in unnecessary costs passed on to utility customers and municipal tax-payers totalling nearly $39 million each year. In 2010 alone, there were almost 3,200 natural gas line breaks in Ontario. Regulations for Ontario’s new One Call system will now be set by the Ontario Ministry of Consumer Services.

Swim into summer with the help of Ottawa’s swim advisories A no-swim advisory may ruin your plans to cool off during a hot summer day at one of Ottawa’s four City beaches, however these are issued to protect your health when there is poor water quality. Poor water quality means that the beach water contains a high level of bacteria that may increase a swimmer’s risk of developing skin, eye, ear, nose and throat infections. Ingestion of water with high levels of bacteria may cause health issues such as gastrointestinal illnesses. Every day during the beach season, Ottawa Public Health samples water from Britannia, Westboro, Mooney’s Bay and Petrie Island beaches for the presence of E.coli bacteria. When elevated levels of E.coli are detected in the water, other organisms that can pose a risk to your health are likely present. Ottawa’s Medical Officer of Health has the authority to issue a no-swim advisory. Beaches are most often closed due to bacteria levels over 200 E.coli per 100 mL of water tested, or over 100 E.coli per 100 mL of water tested for two or more consecutive days.
and South Nation River. A watershed is the land area feeding a river, including all the related lakes and streams. Protecting our watersheds requires support from communities all across Eastern Ontario. What happens in one part of the watershed affects other communities. Some of the factors that can pollute a beach include: • Heavy rains causing increased runoff of contaminants from land into the storm sewers, which flow directly in nearby streams and rivers. Heavy rains can also cause sewers to overflow into streams and rivers; • E.coli bacteria present in the feces of pets, birds and other warm-blooded animals; • High winds stirring up contaminated sediments; • Calm waters holding contaminants close to shore; • Boats discharging dirty water and sewage; • Low water levels; and • Defective septic systems at private residences, resorts and camps.

Strength training for seniors How do you get started? Unfortunately, as we age we lose much of the muscle mass we had in our twenties. In fact, by about age 70 to 80, seniors have lost 40-50% of the muscle mass and strength they had in their 20s. Less muscle mass makes every day things like lifting groceries, pushing lawnmowers, going up and down stairs and getting up from a chair harder to do.
If you would like to start working on your strength at home, call the Ottawa Public Health Information Line listed below for information about the Get Moving: Active Sitting DVD, available for a small fee. This 30 minute program is easy to follow, and comes with a user’s guide demonstrating exercises if you are not very active or have just started exercising. You can also borrow the DVD for free from your local library.
As you get older, Strength training, also called resistance training or weight lifting, slows the loss of muscle, keeps you strong and helps make every day activities easier. Strength training means exercising your muscles against resistance or gravity. The more you repeat an exercise and the more weight you lift, the stronger your muscle becomes.
If you prefer to exercise in a gym, call 211 or visit ottawa.ca to find a local recreation center or City of Ottawa Senior’S Centre. Private health clubs also have these types of activities. If you are a gym member, ask about adding some strength training to your routine.
Research shows that strength training also helps to: · Reduce your risk of falls · Improve balance and posture · Promote healthier bones

Cody Ceci stays close to home as Sens top draft pick Ottawa player won’t have far to travel Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
Gregory Shamus/NHLI via Getty Images
Ottawa’s Cody Ceci was drafted by his hometown team, the Ottawa Senators, as the 15th pick in the 2012 NHL draft. the Senators final cut for next year’s roster. “I’m a two way defenceman and I like to get up on the play and make things happen but at the same time I’ve been playing against top lines in my
major junior so I think I can do a good job in shutting that down,” Ceci said. He’s got an advantage over out of town players through development camp and summer training, and he gets to go
home at the end of the night, and keep his focus on hockey. “I think it’s a huge advantage,” he said. “I think that just helps you play your best and not worry about other things,” He won’t have to worry
about cooking or living on a fast-food diet either – mom has the home cooked meals taken care of. “She makes a lot of pasta, and I love pasta,” he said. “I eat it before every game.”

EMC news - Cody Ceci hasn’t had to leave behind his friends, family, or mom’s home-cooked meals to play major junior hockey with the Ottawa 67’s. And he won’t need to in order to play professional hockey either, after the Orleans’ native was drafted 15th by the Ottawa Senators in the 2012 NHL draft. Ceci and his family watched as teams were called to the stage to announce their first round drafts in Pittsburgh and as the Ottawa Senators pick got closer and closer, the anticipation grew. And at the end, he said the experience wasn’t what he expected – it was even better. “It was definitely pretty special,” Ceci said. “On that day I had no idea where I was going to go and the best possible scenario was to come home and play in my home town, so everything just worked out.” Ceci grew up in Orleans, attending St. Francis of Assisi and St. Clare schools, and St. Peter High School for grades 7 and 8, before leaving to attend private school in Peterborough, Ont. In the OHL draft, he learned he’d be coming home to play
for the 67’s, and returned to St. Peter for grades 11 and 12. It’s a relief for his parents to keep him close to home after seeing him leave as a high school student to play for the Peterborough Minor Petes following a career with the Eastern Ontario Wild. “They’re pretty excited,” he said. “My mom didn’t want me leaving home again like when I went away to private school, so she’s happy I’m staying around.” Growing up in Orleans means he’s been following the Senators since childhood, attending games and watching his hometown team on television. He remembers being one of the younger kids who looked up to the 67’s and Senators “not too long ago,” getting excited if he got a chance to see one of the players. With the 67’s set to play at Scotiabank Place next year, his daily commute won’t change if he suits up in a 67’s or Senators jersey. “I’m pretty fortunate to be drafted for my hometown for major junior, and then again for the National Hockey League,” he said. He gets the support of friends and family, who he said watch him even more closely than they would if he played elsewhere, and hope he makes

Campaign seeks faces EMC news - The Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health (CAMIMH) is launching its 10th annual Faces of Mental Illness campaign and seeking nominations from members of the public. The campaign features the faces and stories of Canadians living in recovery with mental illness. The campaign is about showing that mental illness touches the lives of millions of Canadians, that we need to talk about it, and we need to call for necessary services and supports that work. “CAMIMH is pleased to invite Canadians from all backgrounds and across all parts of the country to nominate an individual, or even themselves, for our Faces of Mental Illness
campaign,” said Dr. Karen Cohen. “This is a unique opportunity to inspire millions with a personal story of courage and recovery. These are stories that let the one in five Canadians living with mental illness each year know that they are not alone. “Far too many Canadians living with mental illness remain silent and don’t receive the help they need.” The Faces of Mental Illness campaign is a key component of Mental Illness Awareness Week, running this year from Sept. 30 to Oct. 6. To nominate a face, please visit camimh.ca. Nominations will be accepted until July 26 and the 2012 faces will be announced Aug. 10.

Decision to quit a long time coming: Curry From CURRY, page 1
The decision to quit has been a long time coming, said Curry. First elected in 2006, Curry said she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to run for a second term in 2010, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to leave while her zone was in the middle of two accommodation reviews. A plan aimed at balancing enrolment in elementary schools in Kanata was presented to the board in the spring of 2012. It was shot down twice by trustees before it was finally approved in April. Curry said a voting block of mostly downtown trustees attempted to derail the staffrecommended plan, with the
board chair presenting a lastminute alternative proposal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At times I just felt sick,â&#x20AC;? said Curry, adding that trustees opposed to the staff-recommended plan only backed down because of pressure from Kanata residents and the leaders of the two accommodation review committees. But Donna Blackburn, trustee for Barrhaven/Knoxdale-Merivale, said trustees on the Ottawa public school board work well together and have accomplished a lot over the past year and a half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I disagree with her vehemently,â&#x20AC;? said Blackburn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very (well) functioning board.â&#x20AC;? Student achievement scores are up this year, said
Blackburn, adding that trustees quickly approved a budget and fulfilled staffing requirements this year. Blackburn said there is no voting block on the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just bogus,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote as a block. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of our votes were 12 to 0,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From time to time there is some rancor, but no block.â&#x20AC;? Trustee Mark Fisher said that while he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the board was dysfunctional, he thought it had some serious problems that need to be addressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The issues she is highlighting are not insurmountable,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can be addressed.â&#x20AC;?
Fisher said he shared Curryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns about block voting on the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see it everyday,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My experience of late is there is a majority and a minority and I think that is the cause of some of the breakdown of relationships that exist between various people on the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it needs to be overcome and it needs to be fixed.â&#x20AC;? Lynn Scott, trustee for West Carleton-March, StittsvilleKanata West, Rideau-Goul-
bourn, said the board has its moments of being dysfunctional and that there have been times when trustees vote as a block. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has been block voting and I think how the blocks would be defined very much depends on where you are coming from,â&#x20AC;? said Scott. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not the first time in my time as trustee that I have seen blocks voting on particular issues.â&#x20AC;? Orleans-Cumberland trustee John Shea said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel comfortable responding to Curryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments.
Celebrating 30 Years
When asked if there were voting blocks on the board Shea said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some cases there are patterns, I guess you could say on certain types of decisions.â&#x20AC;? Rideau-Vanier Capital trustee Rob Campbell said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the board is dysfunctional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is perhaps some interpersonal tensions, but it is not a matter that seriously impacts on actual decision making and the function of the board,â&#x20AC;? he said.

There are no voting blocks on the Ottawa board: trustees From TRUSTEE, page 17
“The board is actually in a better place than it has been in the recent years,” said Campbell. When asked if there were voting blocks on the board Campbell said, “Perhaps there is an element of truth, but I think her assessment completely is overblown. “Many times I have gone against downtown trustees,” he said. “I take no guidance in my vote, I don’t confer with others about my vote and I don’t trade votes.” Curry said her resignation is effective immediately and has no plans of reconsidering her decision. Trustee Pam Fitzgerald, who announced her resignation last month, agreed to stay on the board during a meeting last week. Curry’s replacement will be selected by the board. “They’ll choose someone who will be number eight on the voting block,” Curry said. “Likely they’ll just choose someone they believe will agree with their concept of
governance and potentially support their model of rebuilding downtown schools. So they’ll just further their voting numbers.” GOVERNANCE
Any meaningful change to how trustees conduct business at the board must come through Queen’s Park, said Curry. “I think the province needs to rethink how school boards should be composed.” Curry said the current system of electing trustees usually produces a group of former lobbyists or representatives who are beholden to lobbyists. “If you look at how the campaigns are funded ... you’d see the unions fund certain candidates, the lobby groups fund certain candidates, so therefore the more money, the bigger the campaign, the more signs, the name is more recognizable.” Low voter turnout by an uneducated electorate often results in the election of candidates with the most familiar

name, said Curry. “The voters don’t come out knowledgeably to the polls regarding school board trustees,” she said. “I would say 90 per cent of the people go to the polls not even with any information about the school board trustee candidates.” This system often results in a board of trustees lacking the necessary skill sets, such as financial management experience. Blackburn, who holds three university degrees, said Curry’s suggestion that some trustees weren’t qualified to serve on the board was insulting. “For her to argue that any of us are unqualified to be trustees is a joke,” said Blackburn. “This is just a bitter woman. She’s just bitter she’s not the chair anymore. “She’s never been a happy camper since we started.” “I think the board will be better off without Cathy Curry,” said Blackburn. “For all she talks about the (dysfunctional board) she’s a bigger part of it and once she’s gone we’ll be better off. “She’s been a thorn in everybody’s side.” Curry said the ministry should give more decisionmaking power to a school board audit committee, comprised of trustees, staff and appointed members of the public with education or experience in areas such as finance or risk management. Trustees on the Ottawa public school board are charged with handling an $800-million budget. “You really need a board who has a skill set to make those decisions,” said Curry. Elected trustees should focus on liaising with their community, improving student achievement and advising the audit committee, she said. “I could see them almost acting as ombudsmen,” she said. Blackburn said the idea of giving more decision-making power to the audit committee is ridiculous. “It doesn’t make any sense,” she said. “The audit committee has no elected representatives, so do you want

changes to trustees’ decisionmaking power. She said the board’s audit committee serves an important function: to ensure trustees follow the proper policy guidelines. Other options are giving voting rights to the board’s director of education and chief financial officer and removing trustees’ power to fire directors, said Curry. But Mackenzie said one of
the “functionality” of a school board prior to an election, identifying skill-sets needed as well as clarifying the duties, roles and responsibilities of trustees. “I would not say the government just abolish all school boards altogether,” said Curry. “I’m saying, let’s look at a different format, because this isn’t working.” For example, Curry points to a decision made by trustees

last spring to include Broadview Public School on this year’s capital priorities list. Broadview was ranked 63rd on the list of schools in need of a rebuild, but jumped to first after the vote – despite a staff recommendation for renovations. Board chairwoman Jennifer Mackenzie arrived at the meeting, along with groups of parents lobbying for the rebuild, wearing “Build a Better Broadview” buttons. “Parents came out with buttons and they’re on the list,” said Curry. “This is an abuse of the public trust,” she said. “These other schools have absolutely no idea what’s going on.” Curry said trustees’ behaviour has created a toxic work environment for staff. “I have seen trustees humiliate staff in public again and again. It’s very hard to sit and watch,” she said. She said a number of trustees have told her they felt like resigning and didn’t want to attend meetings. “There comes a time when you think, ‘I don’t think I’m helping here,” she said. “I feel like I’m part of the opposition and I don’t like that role.” If a difference is to be made, it must come through legislation, Curry said. “Something has to be done. You can’t leave it up to luck,” she said. “In my mind the year’s done and I’m done.” With files from Eddie Rwema

Foundation pledges $2 million to help military families EMC news - The True Patriot Love Foundation has pledged $1 million over the next year to fund mental health programs and services for members of the Canadian Forces and their families. The pressing need for mental health support was identified last year in a comprehensive independent report by the Mezzanine Group, commissioned by the foundation, to pinpoint the largest gaps in services to support military families. “Last year saw the conclusion of a decade’s worth of Canada’s participation in conflict in Afghanistan. For many members of the Canadian Forces, the profound effects of post-traumatic stress disorder are just beginning to surface, requiring specialized individual and family counseling to deal with a myriad of issues, including anxiety, depression, substance abuse and homelessness,” said Shaun Francis, chair and founder of the foundation. The foundation’s commitment to mental health is supported by True Patriot Love Tribute Gala sponsor Bell Canada, which has committed its Gala support to mental health
programs for Canadian Forces members and their families. Bell’s support for the foundation is part of the $50 million Bell Let’s Talk mental health initiative, the largest ever corporate commitment to mental health in Canada. “Bell is proud to work with the True Patriot Love Foundation to support Canadian service men and women, and their families, dealing with issues related to mental health,” said Mary Deacon, chair of the Bell Let’s Talk Mental Health initiative. This summer, the foundation is assembling a team of experts to identify where the $1 million earmarked for mental health will be most effective. The findings will be announced at the Tri-National Military Mental Health Symposium at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C. from Sept. 24 to 25, hosted by the foundation. The symposium will feature extensive collaboration among Canadian officials, the White House, British officials, business executives and NGOs from all three countries to examine issues surrounding veteran mental health, its effective treatment and de-stigmatization.

New park-and-ride proposed at Terry Fox and Innovation Only issue is how to integrate with March Transitway extension Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - A new 1,000space park-and-ride lot at Terry Fox and Innovation drives could be on its way. Kanata councillors have long pleaded for another transit park-and-ride lot and the proposed lot was finally revealed during a June 26 meet-
ing about the western Transitway extension in Kanata. The lot is “almost a done deal,” said city planner Jabbar Siddique. More details came out in a city transportation committee report published late last week, including the cost: $5.7 million for the land alone. That would cover the cost of the 4.91-hectare piece of land near the home of Kanata’s high-tech sector. The parcel is currently owned by Canderel. The city’s transportation committee will discuss the proposal on July 4.
One outstanding issue is how the new park-and-ride would integrate with the Transitway extension, which is proposed to involve running high-volume buses down the median of March Road. Since the park-and-ride lot isn’t on March Road, Wilkinson said the city needs to come up with a plan to make sure the lot is still useful in the late 2020s, when the March Road Transitway extension is slated to be built. “The most important thing for park-and-rides is having express buses go to them,”
Wilkinson said. The lot is about 650 metres west of March Road. A city report notes that the March Road corridor was the target for a park-and-ride site, but a lack of suitably sized and priced lots led staff to expand the search area. Residents from Kanata North and West-Carleton March wards would use the lot and mainly be served by OC Transpo Route 93. The park-and-ride lot would also include bicycle parking, although the number of spots for bikes has yet to be decided,

Ottawa to hold first urban fishing festival Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC events - Ottawa’s first urban fish festival will encourage everyone, anglers and non-anglers alike, to have a great time casting their rods at Brewer Park. The Ottawa Fishing Festival will take place on July 14 and 15 during Ontario’s licensefree family fishing week. The festival was created and organized by Manotick resident Dr. Ben Fong, who wanted to share his love for fishing with the rest of the city. “I used to do a lot of fishing and when I purchased home on the water, I began fishing four times a week,” Fong said. “This festival, it is all about introducing fishing to urban dwellers in Ottawa.” The festival, Fong said, will also offer the opportunity for children, who normally do not have the chance to learn how to fish, to try out the sport. Fong, a dentist by day, chose the Old Ottawa South location because the park runs along the Rideau River, but also has a ton of parkland for all the other, non-fishing activities, including inflatable castles, a magician, music from an Elvis impersonator, Dan Elvis Burgess, mariachi band Los Paisanos, dance groups, cooking segments and lectures, fish games, martial arts demonstrations and appearances and seminars with Canadian fishing personalities “Big” Jim McLaughlin, Rob Atkinson and Captain Pat. Fishing rod rentals and live bait will be provided for anyone who wishes to try out fishing, which Fong encourages everyone to give a try. “Fishing is really enjoyable sport, because it is a one-onone sport and you get to have the chance to catch a big fish on the line,” Fong said. And there will be one fish in particular everyone at the festival will be keeping their eye out for. Participants will have the chance of catching a tagged “big fish” that will allows them to collect the festival’s top prize of a $15,000 pontoon boat, donated by Lauren-
tian Marine Sales. The big fish, along with 20 or smaller fish for the children to catch will be tagged and released the night before the festival upstream from the park. Each fish has a prize attached to it. Fong will be personally catching the fish leading up to the festival, so the fish they are releasing are in familiar water. The festival is promoting catch and release, but Fong said, once someone has caught a fish, it is up to them what they would like to do with it. “Take it home or toss it back, it is all part of the fun,” Fong said. The festival is also raising money for CHEO’s Angles of Hope, with 10 per cent of every ticket purchase being donated to the cancer foundation. “I think they are doing a great thing and regardless of how much we make they will get a 10 per cent automatically,” Fong said. The first festival he has ever organized, Fong said it is all about having fun and the more tickets he sells, the more attractions he will add to the weekend. Fong has also donated more than $500 worth of tickets to the Ottawa Boys and Girls Club, to get more children to fall in love with his passion. “It is all about kids. It might be an old cliché, but it is what it is about,” Fong said. “There are kids that don’t have the opportunity so let’s bring them out and give them that opportunity.” Fong said it is the least he can do to support the children’s organization and welcomes any other children organizations to contact him for tickets. Ticket prices are $10 for children 6 to 11, teen to adult are $15 and a family pass is $45. Children five and under are free.

gest sources of revenue for local governments. In the United States, property taxes are not imposed by the states, but by the smaller governing bodies in cities, towns, townships, counties, and other jurisdictions. In Canada, property taxes, or milliage taxes, are levied by the jurisdiction in which the property is located. They may be paid to a federated state or a municipality or the national government. Sometimes multiple jurisdictions may tax the same property.

calProperty taxes are usually cal culated by taking the assessed value of your home and multiplying it by the tax rate that has been determined by your local government. While no one can “legally” escape paying property taxes, there are several ways to have them lowered. Getting your home re-assessed is one such way. Individuals who have reached a certain age may be eligible for certain discounts on property taxes. But this may require a very low income to qualify. There are also some tax credits or homestead exemptions that may qualify you for a limited assessed value on the property. According to data from the Tax Foundation and Forbes, areas of New Jersey, New York and Illinois boast some of the highest property taxes.

EMC news - School may be out for the summer but kids will still have the opportunity to learn from a popular Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) youth program. Recognizing the importance of supporting a child’s thirst for knowledge, Operation Freeze 2012 was developed in partnership with Mac’s Convenience Stores encouraging kids to learn that “doing the right thing” is also the “cool thing to do.” Building on the recent success experienced through this winter’s Operation Heat 2011 initiative, OPP detachments will again be engaged in the positive ticketing of young people who are observed doing random acts of kindness or exhibiting positive behaviour. The ticket is actually a coupon valid for a free 710 millimetre Froster beverage at all participating Mac’s stores across Ontario. “The OPP is pleased to once again participate in this highly successful initiative that recognizes youth for responsible and caring behaviour,” said OPP commissioner Chris Lewis. “The level of support from our media communities and positive feedback from our front line officers and youth continues to be amazing. Partnering with local business and engaging
our youth in a positive manner builds partnerships that make our communities stronger.” In addition to recognizing good behaviour by youth, Operation Freeze 2012 offers opportunities for OPP officers to interact with youth in a positive manner. In support of the OPP positive ticketing program, some police officers may again use the coupons to recognize youth for wearing bicycle helmets, doing good deeds, participating in community activities, picking up trash, deterring crime or observing school crossing rules – while others may use the coupons as icebreakers to establish a rapport with kids in their patrol area. The intention is to ensure the positive tickets legitimately reinforce the positive behaviour exhibited by a youth, by offering something of value. Since the introduction of the OPP positive ticketing program in the summer of 2010, more than 300,000 Operation Freeze and Operation Heat coupons have been strategically issued by OPP to recognize and motivate Ontario’s youth for positive behaviour. In addition to its outstanding public awareness, education and community engagement benefits, the personal impact achieved one youth at a time, by an officer issuing a positive ticket remains priceless.

Poor farmer indeed who can’t feed his family
F
rom now, until the crisp fall days filled the air with the scent of burning leaves, our house smelled of simmering sugar and tart vinegar coming off the Findlay Oval. It was pickling and preserving time. And the smells hung onto our clothes for days as if we had been sprayed and we would notice just about everyone at Northcote School smelled the same way. The huge vegetable garden would finally show the results of Mother’s constant attention and yellow beans, carrots, beets, cucumbers, blood-red tomatoes and just about any other vegetable you could name, were ready for picking. As well, wild strawberries, mostly found along the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks that snaked through our farm, would already have been turned into jam. Raspberries, found growing in great abundance in a secluded spot in the dense woods on the property, were hauled out in milk cans and now sat in jars and sealers of every description. The jams were thick and sweet, but the preserves were a different matter. They were sweet too, but the berries always floated to the top of the jars, leaving thick, sweet syrup on the bottom, which I was known to drink right out of the jar when Mother wasn’t looking. Every glass jar that had come into the house over the past months would be saved for this time of year. Washed thoroughly, then boiled in the big copper kettle on the stove, they were of every shape and size. And always there was a
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories small pot of wax on the very back of the stove, usually on the reservoir, ready to pour over the jars holding the jams and pickles. It was unusual if Mother had to buy new wax every year, because since the last pickling and preserving session when the wax was removed from a jar, it was rinsed off and put in a cardboard box in the summer kitchen and reused time and again. Goodness knows how many years the same piece of wax had made the rounds, melted down again and again.
outside the house. Two big flat doors, on a slant from the ground to the side of the house, had to be hoisted and laid back to get down into our cellar, which was nothing more than a sandy pit an ancestor of Father’s had dug out a century before. A swinging shelf was above the sand, and attached to the floorboards of the underside of the house. It was a dark, dank place that scared the starch out of me every time I was sent down. Vegetables were buried in the sand and my
at the Renfrew fair. Mother had come from New York where pickles, jams and jellies were bought at the grocery store and “doing down” vegetables and fruits was as foreign to her as making homemade lye soap, all of which she mastered with the help of neighbours. It didn’t take her long to catch on to harvesting the garden either. There was scarcely a meal back then that didn’t have Father’s favourite pickles in a bowl on the table. He
said no dinner was complete without chili sauce or yellow beans done in brine. Mother could serve up turnips, potatoes and even a bowl of sauerkraut, but Father always asked; “Got any of that chili sauce and those yellow beans?” My sister Audrey would jump up and dump out a good portion of each and put it on the table. Back then, the Depression was all around us. There was no money for frivolity. We learned not to ask for something as simple as new

There was scarcely a meal back then that didn’t have Father’s favourite pickles in a bowl on the table. He said no dinner was complete without chili sauce or yellow beans done in brine. Last year’s crop of preserves and pickles, stacked on a swinging shelf in what passed for a cellar, had gotten low. Fresh sheets of the Renfrew Mercury would be folded and placed on the shelves, ready for the new batches of jars and sealers. What we called the cellar, wasn’t really a cellar at all. While most of our neighbours had a dug-out you got to from a trap door in their kitchen, you could only get into ours from

hair ribbons or store-bought underwear or a toy we may have seen in the Five and Dime Store in Renfrew. We were barely able to buy coal oil for the lamps or a needed piece of harness or gas for the old Model T. But our table was always full. Vegetables, preserves, sauerkraut and an apple barrel in the summer kitchen and a smoke house full of meat ... and I heard it said more than once, “it’s a poor farmer indeed who cannot feed his family.”

Brighton Beach oak tree still an inspiration for community Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - Crafted from the remains of a massive oak tree, a sculpture paying tribute to Carleton University’s dedication to accessibility was officially dedicated at the River Building on June 26. Sculptor David Fels creation Sailing through Time, carved from the remains of the Brighton Beach oak that was cut down in Old Ottawa South last summer, also honours the 25th anniversary of Rick Hansen’s Man in Motion tour. Carleton University president Roseann O’Reilly Runte announced the school’s commitment to the READ initiative, which focuses on research, education, accessibility and design, during the dedication of a plaque for the sculpture. “Accessibility is really the theme of today,” O’Reilly Runte said. “People often think of our miles of tunnels, but they don’t often think of our services.” The initiative will bring a greater focus to disability issues, develop policy and will conduct applied research. The goal is also for the initiative to provide a forum for collaborations with community groups and governments. O’Reilly Runte said it was Larry McCloskey, the director of Carleton’s Paul Menton Centre for Students with Disabilities, a group interested in promoting a multi-disciplinary focus on accessibility, who brought up the idea of using the Brighton Beach oak as an art piece to honour Rick Hansen famous world tour and Carleton’s commitment to
accessibility. “The demand for new programs in this area is growing,” McCloskey said. “And we want Carleton to be at the forefront of studies and research that have applications to everyone but keep disability in mind.” O’Reilly Runte credited Capital Coun. David Chernushenko for making the sculpture possible by speaking with the residents of Old Ottawa South and paving the way for the tree to make it’s second home at the university. Chernushenko said it wasn’t necessarily easy to have all the residents, who were sad the tree had to come down at all, to agree for the remains to go to the university. “I told them, the university is in Capital Ward and many Old Ottawa South residents go to the university, it seemed fitting,” Chernushenko said. The Mayor Jim Watson, Lt.-Gov. David C. Onley and his wife Ruth Ann Onley also attended the plaque dedication. Fels, a Westboro-based artist, said he has worked with trees for more than three decades, but this was his biggest project to date. Marcelle Lapointe attended the event and seeing the sculpture for the first time, the Pineview resident was brought to tears. “It is just awesome,” she said. “This is what awesome means.” Lapointe thought she would be emotional for the loss of the tree, but instead, she said the tears were of joy to see that although the tree had to be cut down, it still has a future. Lapointe said she was hap-
py to hear the sculpture was dedicated to Rick Hansen, finding it made sense. “He is a man in motion and this tree remains still, in motion,” Lapointe said. Onley agreed. “Rick (Hansen) is a mighty oak,” he said. “I cannot think of a more fitting way commemorate Rick’s Man in Motion tour than with this inspiring, unique work of art.”
CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CAKE
4 squares semi-sweet baking chocolate 2 tbsp. white sugar 1/2 cup raspberry pancake syrup 1/2 cup butter or block margarine, softened enough at room temperature to mix easily 1 1/4 cups white sugar 3 eggs
PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff 1 2/3 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 1/3 cup milk Butter and flour a 20centimetre cake pan. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate, raspberry syrup and two tablespoons of sugar. Microwave on high for one minute, stir and then microwave on high for another minute. The mixture will be hot enough to finish melting the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has completely melted, then set aside to cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter, or margarine, with the white sugar. Add the eggs, one a time, and beat until thoroughly combined. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add about one-third of the flour to the creamed egg mixture.
Using the electric mixer, beat until the flour is completely incorporated. Add about two tablespoons of the milk, and mix again until well combined. Continue adding the flour and milk alternately to the batter, beating well after each addition. Occasionally, scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the chocolate and raspberry syrup mixture to the batter. With a spatula or longhandled spoon, stir this into the batter until there are no streaks of white or chocolate. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake at 350 F (175 C) for 55 to 60 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out sticky, bake for another five to 10 minutes, then check again. When the cake is done, remove it from the oven. Set the pan on a wire rack, and cool completely before serving.

his raspberryflavoured chocolate cake makes a simple and delicious dessert for a summer supper or party. The fudge cake can be made a day ahead, then sliced and arranged on individual serving plates. Arrange some fresh raspberries beside each piece then add a scoop of frozen vanilla yogurt or ice cream. This is light and refreshing. This recipe calls for raspberry pancake syrup. Be sure you get what is labelled as “pancake syrup.” There are other types of raspberry syrup, which are very thin and meant for mixing with water or summer drinks. They just don’t work in this recipe, and neither does raspberry jam. I’ve tried them both. Only raspberry pancake syrup will do.

Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first median Transitway proposed for Kanata Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - March Road could become the first place in Ottawa to feature bus Transitway lanes in the middle of the street. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a format thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used in other cities around the world, but running rapid transit in the median of March Road instead of in the curb lanes would be unique to Ottawa. That vision was presented as the preferred option for a western Transitway extension connecting Eagleson Road and Highway 417 to Old Carp Road. The rapid-transit extension wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be built until the late 2020s, but the city is ramping up to do an environmental assessment on the route. Preliminary plans were presented during a June 26 meeting at the Malack Centre. CENTRE-LANE TRANSIT
Putting high-speed buses in the middle two lanes of traffic on March Road is a new concept for Ottawa. While weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to buses getting their own lanes on the dedicated Transitway, in areas where the Transitway becomes part of the road system buses always occupy the outer lanes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen anything like this before in Ottawa, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used successfully in To-
ronto, Vancouver and with rail in Calgary,â&#x20AC;? said Jabbar Siddique, the project manager. Siddique said that putting buses in the outer lanes can cause problems with traffic flow and create challenges and slowdowns for motorists and buses when vehicles turn right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This way, buses arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t caught in the traffic congestion,â&#x20AC;? Siddique said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very complicated way to handle the Transitway when it gets out to Kanata,â&#x20AC;? said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who is also head of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation committee. A similar median Transitway connection with buses or rail trams is being considered for Carling Avenue, which also has a large boulevard, Wilkinson said. It makes a lot of sense on March Road because there are relatively few cross streets to slow down the flow of traffic, she added. The concept will require intersections to be reconfigured to feature left-turn priority signals for motorists to ensure they can safely cross over the center path of the buses. Pedestrian â&#x20AC;&#x153;refugesâ&#x20AC;? between lanes will make it easer for people to cross to the center bus stations. Bus drivers would also be able to send off a signal when approaching the inter-

Wilkinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pros and cons to both.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one that works and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economical,â&#x20AC;? she added. Morganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grant resident Annetta Meimaroglou said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be happy when she can commute to work faster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too slow on Teron
Road right now,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was interested in this because it looks like they are finally going to put us on March Road.â&#x20AC;? Meimaroglou said she wants to see fewer stops and suggested eliminating the Herzberg stop to make the route faster. The configuration will also create a need for a new pedestrian bridge over Highway 417 to provide access from the Eagleson Park and Ride lot on the south side of the highway to the new transit hub on the
north side. NEW STATION
Of the four options considered for a station off Highway 417 at March Road, a route the dips under the highway ramp near the OPP station was the top choice for transportation planners. The station was originally planned to be situated farther east in the middle of a highway ramp loop, and the route continued up a steep grade to get across Wattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek.
Instead, transportation planners are recommending the Transitway extension continue under the highway ramps, with a station spanning underneath March Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(This) would allow pedestrians to use the west side of March Road to connect to Campeau and into the neighbourhood, and/or come down the OPP entrance to use the Transitway access to use for walking and cycling access,â&#x20AC;? said David Hopper, an engineer from Delcan who is working on the project. That configuration would also mesh well with a future light rail station at March Road, when light rail transit is eventually extended into Kanata, Hopper said. That option didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any negative impacts on the factors the city wanted to consider, such as compatibility with communities, integration with other forms of travel, connectivity with existing and future transit operations, maximizing ridership potential, urban design potential and of course, cost. The Transitway extension is currently slated to be built around 2021, Wilkinson said, but that could change in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Transportation Master Plan, which is starting to be updated this year and outlines routes and priorities for future transit and transportation initiatives.

Third annual Kanata Race Day tackles obesity Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
EMC news - The third annual Kanata Race Day is tackling the theme of childhood and adult obesity. The one- and five-kilometre races aim to help people become more active and to help fund the construction of the Richcraft Recreation Complex in Kanata north, said race co-ordinator Craig Gauthier. “There’s 12.7 million Canadians, according to Statistics Canada, that don’t get even 30 minutes of walking on a daily basis,” he said. Statistics Canada also points out that 59 per cent of adults and 26 per cent of children between the ages of two and 17, are either overweight or obese. “We want to try and beat the curve, take a more preventative approach,” said Gauthier, adding physical activity is “a preventative measure in fighting all diseases.” He said the new recreation centre will give people a place to train, to work out and be
more active. Last year’s event attracted close to 500 people, with just over 300 walking or running in the one- or five-kilometre races. EARLY BIRD
Early bird registration ends on July 7 for this year’s Kanata Race Day – which will take place on Sept. 9. The first 250 people who register will receive free passes to Saunders Farm, (a $25 value) as well as a discount on the registration fee. All fees before the deadline are a flat rate of $10. After July 7, registration costs rise to $15 for teenagers and $20 for adults. All funds raised through Kanata Race Day are used to offset the costs of additions to the Richcraft Recreation Complex, such as the eightlane pool. Gauthier said the goal this year is to raise $10,000. Last year’s race brought in half that amount. “Pledges or donations, that’s another way people can
get involved,” if participating in the race isn’t ideal, he said. Donations can be made online through the Community Foundation of Ottawa. A link is available at www.kanataraceday.com. The fund is titled “Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata fund.” Donors will receive a tax receipt. NEW ROUTE
This year’s route will now follow Goulbourn Forced Road around the site of the complex. There will no longer be a trail portion. “This year, because of the building of the new facility, the race route has changed,” said Gauthier. “We’re going to go down Goulbourn Forced Road, which will be really awesome.” The road will be closed during the races. “(Participants) can still see all the nature and the trees and the pond,” Gauthier said. “It’s actually really a nice road to run on.” Carolyn Waldo, a local television anchor and reporter, will be the honourary race chair, he said. As well, the race day committee is looking for local businesses to take part in the Rec Zone, an expo-style area.
EMC news - Water pipes and other smoking implements are now banned from city properties, including parks and beaches. The move is an addition to the recent expansion of the city’s Smoke-Free Ottawa bylaw, which bans cigarette smoking on city property. The increasing popularity of water pipes, also known as hookahs or shisha, led the city’s health board and council to direct Ottawa Public Health to draft a way to ban the devices on public sites.
While the tobacco ban applies to restaurant and bar patios, the non-tobacco smoking ban does not extend to businesses that offer hookah smoking on their patios. Although shisha can contain tobacco, for the most part it is composed of herbal substances. Still, the smoke from the heated material can irritate the eyes, noses and throats of passersby, according to a public health report. Council passed the bylaw on June 27. It means that carrying any “lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe, or any other lighted or heated smoking equipment used to smoke any tobacco or

Community walkway to recognize rec centre donors Committee looks to raise $1.75 million for extra items Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
EMC news - A community board for the Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata is looking to raise $1.75 million to pay for additional features at the centre. For a minimum donation of $1,000, the donor will have his or her name recognized on a square tile. “We’re going to have their (the donor’s) name engraved into the tiles at the front,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. The engraved tiles will be used to construct a community walkway and all donors will receive a tax receipt. “The community wanted additional things in the recre-
ation centre,” she said. “The community had to agree to raise money for it.” Additions include two extra lanes for the pool, enhancements to the skateboard park and supplying the soccer field with artificial turf and lighting. COMMUNITY WALKWAY
Businesses, families, individuals and groups can purchase a tile for $1,000 and have their name engraved. The community walkway will be located outside the entrance of the facility. The donation form is available on the councillor’s website at www.mariannewilkinson.com, or funds can be donated through the
Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata fund with the Community Foundation of Ottawa: www.cfo-fco.ca. To date, $800,000 has already been raised through other fundraisers towards the total. Wilkinson said naming rights are also available for other parts of the building, which is expected to be constructed by September 2013. Richraft Group of Companies bought the naming rights to the facility for $500,000, for a 15-year term. The building was renamed the Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata as part of the agreement. The recreation complex will feature an eight-lane swimming pool, soccer field and outdoor skate park. The $43.14-million centre will be built at 4101 Innovation Dr. to serve the communities of Kanata North and West-Carleton March.

Due to bed shortages, 817 women were unable to receive service. • Logged over 22,000 volunteer hours. • Delivered just under 26,000 meals. • Hosted more than 3,000 violence against women counselling sessions. More than $140,000 was raised for the centre last year, said Jordan. “The work you do is important and essential,” said Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren. “The volunteers are the backbone…you do an excellent job.”
Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson sat on the committee 26 years ago to form the WOCRC and continues to volunteer her time. “It’s really wonderful to see how far you’ve grown,” she said. A large number of staff were recognized for their years of service, and the centre also bid goodbye to board of directors retirees Berta Aboud, Cindy McGann and Michelle Hynes, as well as Moria Winch and Tania Rosarion, both who resigned due to work commitments. “We are fortunate for having sat on the board,” said Hynes. “It’s been a wonderful six years.” For more information on the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre or to see a copy of the annual report, visit www.wocrc.ca.

Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide, and rates continue to rise. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the single biggest risk factor for the development of skin cancer. Ontario’s doctors are con-
cerned that high SPF ratings may give parents a false sense of security, allowing their kids to stay out in the sun longer. It is also important to note that SPF only measures protection against UVB and does not measure UVA protection. Because we know that UVA rays are also harmful, sunscreens that are broad spectrum with coverage for both UVA and UVB rays are the most protective.

Canada Day fires leaves 13 homeless Firefighters kept busy with four fires on July 1 Staff
EMC news – A fire has left nine people homeless in Greenboro on Canada Day. Ottawa’s fire department received multiple 911 calls reporting smoke coming from a home on Ashpark Crescent on Sunday, July 1, around 10:42 p.m. When firefighters arrived, they discovered the flames
had spread in the five-unit row complex. The blaze left nine people homeless from two of the units. The residents of the other three were told they could return to their homes once the fire was brought under control. Investigators suspect the cause of the fire was a carelessly discarded cigarette on the rear deck of a home. BUSY WEEKEND
Firefighters were kept busy on Canada Day, responding to four fires that left 13 people homeless. Ottawa’s fire department
responded to a 911 call reporting a fire at a a home on Withrow Avenue near Algonquin College at around 1:05 p.m. on July 1. When firefighters arrived they found heavy smoke coming from the eaves and second floor of a two-storey home. The home’s owner had attempted to put out the fire which started on the back deck and spread to the attic. The 45-year-old man was soldering a copper pipe and later noticed his deck was on fire. He tried to put out the fire using a garden hose and then called 911. The man was treated for
smoke inhalation by paramedics. The damage to the home is estimated at $700,000. At 1:45 p.m. another blaze sent crews to a blaze at a restaurant in the Byward Market. Restaurant staff and others had already put out the flames by the time firefighters arrived. Shortly afterwards, firefighters received a report of a basement fire at a home on Woodkilton Road in Dunrobin at around 3 p.m. The fire spread to the living room and left heavy smoke damage to the home. A family of four were left homeless.

New fundraising policies for Ontario schools Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Ontario school boards are implementing new policies on fundraising as this school year ends, under a requirement that they incorporate the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new â&#x20AC;&#x153;best practicesâ&#x20AC;? by September. The issue came to wide public attention with the publication of Fundraising Fever, a Metroland Special Report, which focused on growing concern about the overuse of fundraising and the disparities it creates. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board is updating its fundraising policy to match the new guidelines said Walter Piovesan, the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associate director of education. He added the new policy would be available by the end of June or the beginning of September for consultation. It will be up to the principal of each school to ensure fundraising is conducted within the new rules. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the principal who enforces the policy and works with the school councils or whoever is doing the fundrais-
ing to make sure the policy is being followed,â&#x20AC;? Piovesan said. The Ottawa Catholic School Board is already â&#x20AC;&#x153;mostly compliantâ&#x20AC;? with the new ministry guidelines said spokesperson Mardi de Kemp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new requirements are being reviewed and the current policies will be modified over the summer so that the board will be fully compliant by the fall,â&#x20AC;? said de Kemp. PROBLEMS
Annie Kidder of People for Education, a parent-led advocacy group, says the reaction her group is getting to Fundraising Fever underscores the problems that fundraising creates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many people have forwarded it and talked about it as a never-ending issue,â&#x20AC;? Kidder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the fundraising guidelines are strong enough.â&#x20AC;? The guidelines say fundraising should not duplicate existing funding â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for example the ministry provides schools with money for textbooks and learning materials

Ontario school boards are implementing new policies on fundraising to incorporate the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new guidelines, which state what fundraising dollars can buy, such as technology for the classroom. so raising funds to buy more is not permitted. Kidder says the key to equitable education is to make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funded so everyone gets a good education; one that does not depend on fund-
raising. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem with thinking of education as a charity rather than as something we pay for through our taxes is that it changes how we think. It entrenches fundraising as
something we assume has to be there.â&#x20AC;? Kidder says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;all fundraising isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bad, but there has to be a line.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the system has come to assume that where
possible, parents will kind of take up the slack, or that parents will augment school budgets. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really worrying assumption.â&#x20AC;? With files from Metroland Media News Service.
Cops to crack down on drunk drivers, heavy vehicles in July Ottawa Police Service
EMC news - Ottawa police will focus on unsafe heavy vehicles and impaired drivers in its selective traffic enforcement program in July. In 2010, 181 reportable collisions on Ottawa roadways involved unsafe vehicles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; resulting in 58 injuries; six were life-threatening and two were fatalities. Causes of these collisions included defective brakes, steering, tires, lights, engine controls, trailer hitches, suspension, as well as obscured vision. The focus of this initiative
will also include heavy-vehicle inspections. These inspections will be done to ensure compliance with weight restrictions, that loads are properly secured, and that heavy vehicles are not being driven on restricted load roadways. Properly maintained documentation, certificates and logs will also be verified. IMPAIRED DRIVING
In 2010, there were 372 collisions, 22 serious injuries and five fatalities involving impaired drivers. These initiatives support
the larger Safer Roads Ottawa Program, a leading partnership between Ottawa fire, Ottawa paramedics, Ottawa police, Ottawa Public Health and the public works department. Safer Roads Ottawa is committed to preventing or eliminating road deaths and serious injuries through community engagement and development of a sustainable safe transportation environment. Ottawa residents have identified traffic safety as a top priority. The Safer Roads Ottawa Program is committed to using available resources to make Ottawa roads safer for residents.

Residents oppose proposed Teron Road highrise Two-tiers, 10- and 15storeys, ‘inappropriate’ Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
EMC news - Around 60 people turned out for a public meeting on a proposed development to build a two-tiered highrise in Beaverbrook, on Monday, June 25. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson and the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association (KBCA) hosted the meeting to inform the community about an application to rezone the property and to find out what people would like to see at the location. “We wanted to ask you to give us ideas,” she said. “Keeping everything exactly as is, is not going to work.” Developer Phil Bottriell owns about 1.6 hectares of land at 1131 Teron Rd., where his current house sits, backing onto March Road. He issued a request to the city to rezone the land to allow for a 10- and 15-storey, two-tiered building, as well as six three-storey townhouses. Beaverbrook residents at the meeting felt this proposal doesn’t fit in with the community. “The proposal of this 15and 10-storey (building) is way too much for this area,” said Andrew Crain, who lives in the area. “I just feel it’s so inappropriate for the whole community,” said Beth Mlacak. Colin Billowes a Beaverbrook resident since the 1960s, echoed the statements. “It’s ridiculous – highly out of character and proportion for the community,” he said. “I think anything more than two storeys is inappropriate.” Residents recently went to bat against another rezoning application to allow for a 16storey residential building at 2 The Parkway. The final report on that request was slated to be released on June 29, but has been postponed until mid-
August. “Beaverbrook is recognized as a garden city,” said KBCA president Gary Sealey. “We should say no to developments that don’t fit.” SPECIFIC
Wilkinson said she wanted to hold the meeting to brainstorm alternatives for the site. Although the city can’t tell a developer what to put on his or her land, comments from the community can help shape the final report and whether or not the re-zoning application is approved. “Beaverbrook has a very distinct character,” she said. “We want to know what residents think should go there.” When it came to arguments against the 2 The Parkway proposal, residents weren’t specific enough in their comments on how it would affect them, Wilkinson said. “What we really need to do is focus on Beaverbrook and what it means to you,” she told the crowd, adding it makes a difference if every person submits an individual comment. “The input from the community is very, very important.” Neil Thomson, KBCA director of planning, said the proposed 197-unit building would have site lines into the backyards of neighbouring houses. Privacy, “it’s critical to people of Bethune,” he said, adding people should focus their comments on how the building could impact them. He said complaints about the strain on traffic, sewers and transportation wouldn’t be taken into account. “If we want to be effective…we have to play the game,” he said. “Arguing it’s going to decrease the property value is not going to be effective.” Bethune resident Gail White said she was worried about the amount of foot-traffic that could result from the number of proposed units.

City of Ottawa
A developer has submitted an application to the city to rezone the land at 1131 Teron Rd., to allow for a 10- and 15-storey two-tiered highrise and six three-storey townhomes. “We can’t fence ourselves off,” she said. TOWN CENTRE
A number of people at the meeting said the 10- and 15-storey, two-tiered highrise would fit better in the town centre, located near the Kanata Centrum, where higher density buildings have already been built. “We care about the fabric of this community as a whole,” said KBCA member Gerry Holt. “It belongs just down the road in the Kanata Town Centre.” Some of the alternatives proposed for the Teron Road site included: • Seniors bungalows. • Two- or three-storey offices. • Two-storey townhomes. • Medical centre. • Maintain the status quo. “The report should include comments from the community saying what they think will better fit,” said Wilkinson.

“Father of Kanata,” has pledged to help bankroll any legal fights that might ensue because of this proposed development, and the one at 2 The Parkway. A committee has put together a “war chest” to help cover any legal costs that
might arise. “In a few months you can destroy 50 years of planning,” he said about spot rezoning. “We will fight this until the end. If we lose, we will appeal. “This will not happen except over our dead bodies.”
Comments on the proposal can be sent to city planner Marc Magierowicz through email at marc.magierowicz@ ottawa.ca or by phone at 613580-2424 ext. 27820. The deadline is July 6, but comments will still be accepted after that time.

EMC news - Don’t take Carling Avenue off the table for a light-rail line, city councillors told their staff advisers on June 27. Following public opposition to a report that narrowed potential right-rail routes down to four options – three of which include parts of the Byron-Richmond corridor – councillors directed staff
to keep looking at all 15 options that were originally examined. The question is how lightrail will join Tunney’s Pasture to Baseline Station. A May 30 city staff report indicated that the four options for a primary western LRT line were the “top corridors” and that one of them would eventually be chosen as the line to be built. But deputy city manager Nancy Schepers told council
on June 27 that “nothing is being taken off the table.” “The 15 options all remain on the table,” she said, adding, “We will spend more time on some options that appear to be more viable than others.” That drew jeers from a group of residents in the audience who were holding signs reading No LRT on Byron-Richmond. It also caused confusion around the council table and
led several councillors to ask for “clarity” about the process and when route options would be narrowed down. Staff’s recommendation of a top route won’t come until mid-2013, Schepers said. Mayor Jim Watson said it is important for the city to focus on getting shovels into the ground for the downtown light-rail tunnel before finalizing how to get rail to the west end of the city.

My evening riding shotgun in an unmarked police car with Alden starts at 10 p.m. on Friday, June 22, in the parking lot of the Kanata Centrum. The police constable arrives wearing sneakers, shorts and an untucked shirt that hangs over his waist, concealing the badge attached to his belt line. Alden is a member of the Ottawa police west division neighbourhood officers unit, which targets problem areas of the city when they aren’t responding to dispatch calls. “We deal with neighbourhood issues,” says Alden. “We get drug complaints. We get drinking complaints, liquorrelated stuff.” The officers patrol areas dressed in plainclothes so they can catch criminals in the act or before a crime is committed, says Alden. “People don’t recognize you as police so you’re going to see more of what people are doing,” says Alden. “If they’re drinking in a parking lot, as soon as they see a police cruiser they’re going to stop.” On Friday night, six cars will patrol the city west of Island Park Drive.

EMC news - A 17-year-old girl sits on a bench outside O’Connor’s Irish Pub, waiting for her mother. She looks up at the unmarked police car parked nearby, where Const. Pat Alden is writing her a $65 ticket for trying to sneak into the bar. She starts to cry. It’s past midnight and her mother won’t be pleased. Her first mistake was trying to get into O’Connor’s with three pieces of fake ID’s. Bad ones, it turns out; she was quickly turfed from the line. In desperation, the girl tried to hop the fence and join her friends on the patio where she was spotted by a bouncer. But her biggest mistake was trying to sneak into a bar that was facing millions of dollars in fines for serving alcohol to five underage teens last February. The Ottawa police sting resulted in 30 charges – 15 against the bar and 15 against its owner, Darryl O’Connor. O’Connor pleaded guilty to five of the charges in court and paid a $1,525 fine. But the case still has to come before an Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) tribunal, and O’Connor is potentially on the hook for a 30-day suspen-
sion for each offence, which works out to a maximum period of about two and a half years. He also potentially faces $12 million in fines. O’Connor says it’s difficult to spot underage teens armed with fake IDs. “The only reason the police were able to spot the underage teens was they were tipped off by someone,” he says. “If they would have walked randomly through they wouldn’t,” says O’Connor. “Those kids, 17, 19, they don’t look different.” Bar staff try to catch fake IDs by quizzing young-looking customers, but that doesn’t always work, he says. “They practice the signatures, they memorize the middle names, they memorize the addresses, the postal codes.” If the Ontario government wants to crack down on underage drinking, it should provide bar owners with the proper tools to catch fake IDs, says O’Connor. O’Connor suggests the government introduce fingerprints on drivers licences, and require bars to purchase fingerprint scanners to obtain their liquor licences. Customers looking to enter a bar should be required to swipe their driver’s licence and have their fingerprints confirmed by a scanner, he says. “I would gladly buy a $500

Dominion Day Lily Moss, 8, Miranda Beaton, 9, and Nicole Moore participate in a tug-of-war, one of the events held at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site during its Canada Day celebration on July 1.
‘What I want to do is have you charged’: bar owner From POLICE, page 41
More than 100 teens – students from All Saints Catholic High School, Holy Trinity Catholic High School and A.Y. Jackson Secondary School – have gathered at the townhouse for an end-of-the year party. “There’s only two (officers) for 100 kids,” says Alden. High school students commonly hold end-of-the-year parties in June, known as Tequila Sunrise, usually starting the day before classes end and continuing until the end of the month. They organize the events using Facebook and other social networking programs. Neighbourhood officers participate in the Ottawa police’s annual crackdown on these parties, often held in public places in Barrhaven, Kanata and Stittsville. The Tequila Sunrise tradition started at Sir Robert Borden High School in Nepean and over the years branched out into the rest of the west end. The city’s bylaw department says that nearly 2,500 kids gathered for Tequila Sunrise parties in 2006, but those numbers have dropped dramatically since schools started sending letters home informing parents of the zero-toler-
ance policy. Police and bylaw officers are worried about youth binge drinking and collapsing with alcohol poisoning in the parks or secluded outdoor areas during the night. When our car reaches Cope Drive and Templeford Avenue, Alden points to the pockets of teens walking on the side of the road, headed to the party. Many carry backpacks sagging on the bottom and a few are drinking from plastic cups and two-litre plastic soft drink containers. “There’s a very diverse dynamic out there” says Alden about the Kanata and Stittsville communities. “You have a lot of money or next to no money,” he says. “And the ones that have a lot of money, have a lot of money and don’t parent their kids. And they’ll just send them off.” Up the street, six police cars are parked on Templeford. Alden pulls over and stops a 17-year-old boy walking up the street carrying an open 750-millilitre bottle of Captain Morgan rum and a twolitre bottle of Coke. Alden handcuffs the teen and checks him out on the computer – he’s clean. He uncuffs the teen, and instructs him to empty his rum. An ambulance carrying the
unconscious 16-year-old girl to the Ottawa Civic Hospital passes by on Templeford. The 17-year-old boy says he knows the girl. “She was drinking this (94 proof) booze,” he says. “That’s why I told these girls to stay away – it’s a solid drink, they all drink it in Hull.” The Holy Trinity student says the house party was hosted by a teen whose parents were away in Montreal that night. “This happens after exams,” he says. Students from A.Y. Jackson, Holy Trinity and All Saints were invited to the party over Facebook. Alden hands the boy a ticket for a person in possession of alcohol; it comes with a $125 fine. By the time we reach the house party, groups of teens are starting to disperse, some walking home, others waiting on the curb for a ride from their buddies or family. “That’s part of the problem,” says Alden. “You break up a large group, they don’t disperse. Instead of a large group in one area, you have 20 small groups going. So you’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t.” A police sergeant at the scene says tickets were issued to the teens, and many bottles

of booze were emptied on the sidewalk. If there’s no adult in a house and there’s children underage drinking, police have “quasiauthority” to clear them out, says Alden. “When I’ve ever done parties like that I’m a pain in the arse,” says Alden. “I’ll phone parents. I’ll say come get little Johnny. Mom and dad are away for the weekend enjoying themselves and they get a phone call saying little Johnny has 100 kids in the house, then they don’t enjoy themselves and little Johnny pays for it. “But I’m old school.” As we drive away from the scene, Alden notices a girl, 17, holding a Bacardi Orange Breezer standing next to a car. She raises the cooler and says cheers. Alden pulls over and hands the girl a ticket for possessing alcohol. “Does it say how much?” asks the 17-year-old. “$125,” answers Alden. “Oh my God, seriously?” she says. “For five per cent?” As we drive away, Alden says the biggest problem police have is that people won’t accept that minors cannot drink alcohol. “But it’s only for minors,

so it doesn’t matter,” he says. “I’ll make it matter to you – $125.” UNDERAGE
Later that night around midnight, we check out the bars at the Centrum. O’Connor’s is packed, with close to 400 people inside, and a line of about a dozen people outside on the Centrum Walk. When the bouncers catch a 17-year-old trying to vault the patio fence to sneak into the bar, owner Darryl O’Connor is short on patience as he questions the girl outside the bar with Const. Alden. “Are you here with anyone else who is under 19?” O’Connor asks. “I just want to know if there is anyone else here who is under 19.” The girl throws up her hands and insists she didn’t know the girl who gave her the fake ID. “I swear to God I don’t know who she is,” says the 17year-old. “I don’t know what the hell to do.” “What I want to do is have you charged,” says O’Connor. “It’s against the law. “You’re obviously not telling the truth,” he says. “You came here without an ID and someone just handed you an
ID?” The girl nods her head and says that’s exactly what happened. “My mom’s coming to get me,” the girl says. “Why are you still bitching at me? “My mom’s getting out of bed at like 12:30, one o’clock in the morning. I obviously feel real bad, she should not have to do that.” Alden asks her if she knows why her mom has to come and get her. “Obviously I’m a child,” says the girl. Soon, one of the girl’s friends return with a 20-yearold woman, the owner of the fake ID Card. Both are kicked out of the bar, and both are charged – the 17-year-old for trespassing and the 20-year-old for giving a fake ID to an underage girl, which each come with $65 fines. Alden is finishing writing the girl’s ticket, when her mother arrives. “The reason I called you is she was attempting to get into the bar,” Alden explains. “She says she doesn’t need mom to be here. I said she does because (she’s) under 18.” The girl’s mother says, “She needs me obviously.”

Wen Jean Ho, centre, received a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal on Thursday, June 28, for her work in helping to create the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre.
EMC news - Fourteen people received a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal on Thursday, June 28. Among the recipients was Wen Jean Ho who’s been instrumental in creating the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre, a non-profit that aims to establish, develop and maintain a support hub for Chinese seniors in Kanata and the surrounding areas. “Wen Jean founded the Kanata Chinese Senior Support Centre in December 2011,” said Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren. “She has worked as a volunteer to help Chinese seniors integrate into Canadian society.” Tom Carroll received a medal for his involvement in political life. A member of the former city of Kanata committee of land adjustment, he lobbied against having Carp Ridge land deemed marginal resource restricted. “Tom was the president of the March Rural Association and was a member of the Regional Municipality of Ottawa Carleton Waste Plan Task Force. He canvassed and supported the Lanark, Carleton and Ontario Landowners Associations and attended many rallies,” said MacLaren. Harry Needham, a soldier
for 29 years was presented with a medal for his volunteerism, which includes work for the Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club, St. John Ambulance, Kanata Minor Hockey Association, and with the Kanata Legion. Chair of the John Young School Council, Michelle Wright was presented with a medal for her work with the school, for organizing events such as Kanata South Days, and for her volunteer work on the Kanata South Accommodation Review Committee. Gordon Hubley received a medal for his work with the Glen Cairn Community Association, the Sandra Ball Youth Recognition program and the Bill Connelly Charity. MacLaren presented 13 other community members with medals: • Adele Muldoon. • Stanley Carruthers. • Frank Marchington. • George Kennedy. • Fred Millar. • John Leroux. • Thomas Black. • Marlene Black. In honour of Queen Elizabeth II’s 60th year on the throne, 60,000 Diamond Jubilee Medals are being handed out across the country. The medal honours ordinary Canadians making extraordinary differences on a local, regional or national level.

fled laughter fills the dark alleyway hidden by curtains. And then: “Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!” Spurred into action, 15 high school students burst onto the Scotiabank Place stage to fulfill their fives minutes of fame with Roger Waters, the founder of progressive 1960s rock band Pink Floyd. Clapping and singing, wearing t-shirts that read “Fear Builds Walls,” the St. Mark High School students were the choir in Waters’ performance of “Another Brick in the Wall,” one of Pink Floyd’s most well-known songs. The opportunity comes from Waters’ global tour called The Wall, in which he performs the entire album of the same name with much theatrics, staging and pyrotechnics. In every city, the tour promoters invite a local school to perform the choir parts with Waters on stage. When Live Nation promoter Ken Craig approached St. Mark music teacher Gabriel Leury about the opportunity, “I couldn’t pass it up,” he said. “I just think it’s a great opportunity for the students to have. A large-scale production opportunity doesn’t come by very often,” Leury said, adding that the experience will also help profile the school and possibly lead to other opportunities down the road.
For the students, who ranged in age from Grade 8 to Grade 12, the experience was nothing short of life-changing. “You just take a chance and audition for it and a couple weeks later you’re standing on a stage singing in front of 15,000 people,” said Grade 8 student Kelsey Ewen. “It’s one of the best feelings. You’re never going to feel that way and you’re never going to be so excited to be doing something like that,” added Caroline O’Neill, a Grade 12 student who graduated a few days after the concert on Monday, July 25. “It was the last thing I did as a St. Mark Lion. What an amazing way to end six years of high school.” Participating students described the experience as “unbelievable” and “amazing.” Not only did they get to perform with Waters on stage, they also got some personal practice time with him before the concert as well. “When we went to sound check we practiced with Roger and his band and we only ran through it twice because we were pretty good, apparently,” laughed Leith Ross, a Grade 8 student who admitted she caught the performing bug after five minutes with such a huge crowd. Leury affirmed Ross’s suspicion that the choir was ex-

Fifteen St. Mark High School students performed Another Brick in the Wall with Roger Waters at Scotiabank Place on Monday, June 25. ceptional compared to choirs in other cities. “The people involved with the show came and said the students were well-prepared and one of the best groups they’ve seen,” he said. The song protests against rigid school policies and was against UK boarding schools in particular when it was written in 1979. As part of the tour, a towering 60-foot puppet of a teacher with glowing eyes – a creature the students called “horrifying” – leers over the stage during the song’s performance. Despite the seemingly antiteacher tone of the song, St. Mark teacher J.P. Cloutier,
who was taking photos on stage, said the song is not against education, but against oppression. “It’s about the type of education that oppresses students and doesn’t let them reach their full potential, and that’s not what we’re about here,” he said. For the 15 students, the opportunity to face the world on stage brought them all a step closer to realizing their own potential. At the very least, the memory will never fade. “It will be on YouTube so we can go back and show our grandchildren,” Ross laughed.

HOPE tournament to celebrate 30th anniversary Gabrielle Tieman
EMC sports – HOPE Volleyball Summerfest will celebrate its 30th anniversary at Mooney’s Bay on July 14. HOPE, which stands for Helping Other People Everywhere, is a volunteer-based not-for-profit organization founded in 1981 by Fred Logan, created in honour of his mother who died of cancer. Inspired by the Terry Fox Run, Logan and his friends decided to start a similar Ottawa event, but which donated to multiple chairities. Over the years, the group has grown to a 40 member planning team and 1,200 day volunteers. Holly Tarrison, executive director for the HOPE Foundation, said the annual one-day tournament brings together a community for a good cause. “It is huge what a one day event can do,” said Tarrison. “You’re hard pressed to find someone who is not smiling that day.” “It’s a bunch of people playing volleyball,” she said. “The fact that we have given over $3 million back to the community and charities over the past 30 years is huge.” Over the past 30 years HOPE has raised more than $3.5 million dollars and donated to 110 charities nationwide. Although the volleyball portion of the fundraiser began as a sidecar to other activities, Tarrison said it has quickly become the headlining event – and the most profitable. “They used to have dances and other kinds of fundraisers,” she said. “People would go and volunteer as a group and give back. They found that the volleyball side was the most profitable thought. The first time

they held it they raised $2,900 with only eight teams – and that was in the ’80s.” Along with the volleyball tournament, an outdoor concert will be held in the outdoor amphitheater featuring artists Ill Scarlett, Treble Charger and Mother Mother. Although there will not be a special commemoration of the tournament’s anniversary, Tarrison said H.O.P.E is asking people to send in stories of the people they have met through the event for a chance to win a night stay at the Holiday Inn along with dinner for two and a camera. Tarrison, who originally volunteered with the group to find like-minded people when she first moved to Ottawa, said she has since met her best friends through the organization. “Over the years, we are always hearing stories about people who have met through HOPE’s tournament – whether its boyfriends or best friends. You can submit a 50-word essay or video on how they met their friends Everyone has a HOPE story.” Money raised by this year’s tournament will go to national organizations: Children at Risk, Canadian Diabetes Association, Children’s Wish Foundation and the Kidney Foundation of Canada and local groups: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa, Dreams Take Flight Ottawa and the Rideau Valley Conservation Society. “We choose from a lot of organizations,” said Tarrison. “What is different about us is we like to mix up the charities that we give money to every year – a good combo of national organizations and small organizations. One that was chosen this year – the Rideau

EMC news - Ottawa firefighters earned top marks for their extrication and rescue skills at the 22nd annual Eastern Ontario Vehicle Rescue Challenge and Learning Symposium in Loyalist Township, held June 21 to 23. Seven Ottawa firefighters competed against teams
from Burlington, Whitewater, Loyalist, Pelham, Leeds and Thousand Islands. Ottawa’s team of firefighters took first place in two challenges. They won the limited extrication challenge, rescuing a patient from a vehicle in 16 minutes and 48 seconds using only hand tools.
The Ottawa team’s second victory came in the rapid extrication challenge, where firefighters must rescue a patient with critical injuries that must be treated quickly in hospital. Teams had to rescue the patient using hand tools and hydraulic tools, like the Jaws of Life, in under 10 minutes.
The Ottawa team finished with a time of nine minutes 18 seconds. The team also won the best medic competition and placed second in the unlimited extrication challenge, where firefighters must rescue a patient using both hand tools and hydraulic tools, with a time of 13 minutes and 33 seconds.

Classic Shakespeare play to be put on in Kanata park, with a twist
The Bear & Co. production is touring Ottawa’s outdoor parks this summer from July 4 to 27. The audience is invited to bring a chair or blanket to the park for the performance, which will begin at 7 p.m. After the performance, a hat will be passed around for contributions – $10 per person is suggested.

Our setting the play in 1950’s Greenwich Village offers a contemporary audience a way to understand the arguments of class warfare, right to power, and abuse of power that Shakespeare makes throughout the play
EMC entertainment - A production of William Shakespeare’s pastoral comedy As You Like It is coming to Walter Baker Park in Kanata on July 8. The classic play, about a woman who has been banished from her uncle’s court seeking safety in the Forest of Arden, has been re-set in 1950’s Greenwich Village. “Our setting the play in 1950’s Greenwich Village offers a contemporary audience a way to understand the arguments of class warfare, right to power, and abuse of power that Shakespeare makes throughout the play,” said director Will Somers. “The workers’ movement battles McCarthyism, folksters mingle with beatniks, and featuring cool classic folk music, As You Like It offers audiences a great way to beat the heat.”

The cast of As You Like It features Anna Lewis, Dyna Ibrahim, Danielle Savoie, Will Somers, Zach Raynor, Victor Pokinko, Tim Oberholzer, Nick Amott, Leslie Cserepy, Robin Guy and Eleanor Crowder.
A Company of Fools brings Henry V to Walter Baker Park A Company of Fools
EMC entertainment - A Company of Fools presents a retelling of William Shakespeare’s historical play Henry V in an outdoor performance at Walter Baker Park in Kanata on July 18. This summer’s Torchlight Shakespeare production will tour parks across Ottawa from July 2 to Aug. 18. Members of the audience are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets for seating. Directed by Geoff McBride and starring Margo MacDonald as Henry, the production promises blood, battle, bravery and romance together with “foolish” twists audiences have come to expect from A Company of Fools productions.
The company describes the production as a boy meets girl story with a slight twist. Part Saving Private Ryan and part Before Sunrise, this is story about a boy (Henry), who has recently ascended to the throne, who invades a girl’s (Katherine) country under a dubious claim to the nation’s throne. He manages to defeat a much larger army using new military strategies and then he meets the girl. The play is presented by the graduating class of Wm. Golding Academy.

Local author cooks up summer fun Camp and Cottage Cookbook offers healthy outdoor cooking recipes Sherry Haaima sherry.haaima@metroland.com
EMC lifestyles - Summer holidays are here and one local author has just the ticket to keep your family eating delicious and healthy food all summer long.
The Camp and Cottage Cookbook is the first book for Tonya Hughes of Dunrobin. It is being billed as a practical, fun, and healthy approach to outdoor and cabin cooking that requires minimal specialized equipment. Hughes said she developed a love of the outdoors in her early years, hiking, canoeing, skiing, fishing, and camping all over Newfoundland. Born and raised in St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, N.L., Hughes and her family â&#x20AC;&#x201C; husband Robin and children Katie, 8, and Matthew, 5 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; love to spend summers enjoying Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do a lot of camping. We probably spend at least two full weeks in the summer camping or at the cottage,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out for long periods of time, we wanted to be able to feed the kids tasty and nutritious food.

SERVING KANATA NORTH
City Councillor, Kanata North OFFICIAL UNVEILING OF KANATA MURALS On Thursday, 12th July at 10 a.m., Mayor Jim Watson will join me at the March Road underpass for the Paint it Up Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. Paint it Up is a Crime Prevention Ottawa program that provides youth the opportunity to paint murals at selected locations. Since 26th June, a group of 8 young people, under the direction of artist Nicole Belanger, has been creating murals at each end of the underpass. The theme at the Kanata end focuses on the natural environmental, as people heading east are going towards the Greenbelt. The theme at the Greenbelt end is the Garden City, as that direction leads into Kanata. Work on the murals is nearing completion. You are welcome to go to watch these young people at work and encourage them. The underpass is accessible by turning onto Petrie Lane from the south part of Penfield Drive. You are also welcome to attend the Ribbon Cutting where you can meet some of the artists. File
Local athlete Cameron Smedley will not compete in the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games.
Cameron Smedley’s Olympic dream halted as Canada not awarded quota spot theresa.fritz@metroland.com
EMC sports - The wait is over for Dunrobin’s Cameron Smedley and so is his dream of competing at the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games. A press released issued last month by Canoe-Kayak Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) naming the local man as a sprint paddler contained a grave error; Smedley will in reaility not be competing in the Olympics. In May, Smedley was unofficially advised the International Canoe Federation (ICF) would relocate a C1 quota to the second National Olympic Committee (NOC) which was Canada and in turn, Smedley. It was expected he would be nominated by Canoe-Kayak Canada to the COC in June. This meant the member of the national whitewater slalom team was even given the go ahead for fundraising. On May 23, his family hosted a reception in his honour at West Carleton Secondary School. The celebration was also a fundraiser to help him get to London and he raised enough funds to cover the costs to train and compete in Europe. NOT GOING
On Monday, June 25, Canoe-Kayak Canada and the COC presented the team of paddlers who will represent Canada at the Olympic Games. The sprint paddlers who will take to the water in
London in the pursuit of medals were named and Smedley was listed as one of them. However, after the KourierStandard contacted Smedley’s family, the newspaper learned things were not as they appeared. The press release was incorrect and Smedley is not going to the Olympics. This fact was confirmed Wednesday by Jane Almeida, spokesperson for the Canadian Olympic Committee. “No, he is not going,” she stated in an email. Smedley himself knew even before the erroneous media release went out that he would not be heading to London, according to his mother, Sherri Audet. In fact, she sent out a letter June 23 outlining what had transpired. “ICF representative, Jean Michel Prono, met with Cameron last week in France to give him the news that the International Canoe Federation executive committee has decided to interpret the Olympic qualification rules in a different way than anticipated and will not allocate the Olympic quota spot to Canada,” wrote Audet in a letter to friends, family and supporters. “The Canadian national sport organization, Canoe Kayak Canada has written a response to the ICF but it was not successful in changing the decision. This is incredibly disappointing and difficult news for Cameron as he has jumped to a new level of performance at the 2012 World Cups. We are very proud of his accomplishments and his ability to move past a major
disappointment by working harder to paddle his best.” Attempts to contact Smedley himself for a comment were unsuccessful. NATIONAL CHAMP
A two-time national champion, Smedley has been in the water since a young age. At 13, he joined a development group of slalom paddlers based in Ottawa, working with national coach Michal Staniszewski. He went on to compete with the Junior National Team for four years and achieved a best junior finish of ninth place at the 2007 Junior World Championships in Tacen, Slovenia. He also earned a silver medal with his teammates in the C-1 team runs at the 2006 pre-world championships. From there, Smedley moved on to Canada’s senior national slalom team and trained full time to compete in the World Cup Competitions and World Championships. In 2011, he realized two career highs – a 16th place finish at the Markleeburg Germany World Cup, and a 30th place finish at the 2011 World
Championships in Bratislava, Slovakia. At the end of May, following the local reception at his former high school, Smedley went back to train in London and compete in the World Cup races. He was a finalist with a ninth place finish in Cardiff, Wales; a semifinalist with a 15th place finish in Pau, France; and on June 23, in Seu, Spain, he was a semifinalist with a race run time that put him in eighth place, but a judged gate penalty pushed him to 27th. “This means at age 21, he is performing with internationally competitive times at the World Cup Races,” he mother stated. Smedley’s next events will be the U23 World Championships in Wausau, Wisconsin, in July, national championships in Valleyfield, Que., and then World Cups 4 and 5 in Prague, Czech Republic and Bratislava, Slovakia in August.

2 THE PARKWAY MEETING DELAYED The report on 2 The Parkway was pulled from the Planning Committee agenda of 9th July as a result of a request from the owner, who had just learned that staff did not support his application. The owner requested time to review his proposal to see if it could be changed to deal with the staff concerns. I have indicated that if there is another proposal or other change in the staff report that sufficient time be given to the community to hold a meeting to review any changes and comment on them before the final report is prepared or released. The report is now scheduled to be at the Planning Committee on 23rd August at 1 p.m.
KANATA NORTH PICNIC The annual community picnic for Kanata North residents and friends is on Wednesday, 18th July. There are even more activities this year. Children will enjoy the bouncies, face-painting, games, petting zoo, and Crash the Clown. Children and adults can enjoy a hamburger or hot dog, watch the entertainment, explore the fire engine, police car, ambulance and road equipment, view the plans for the Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata, and visit the many booths. All this is free (food is while supplies last) and runs from 4 pm to 8 pm. Come and have fun with your neighbours!
DOGS AND PARKS I’ve been told that staff have nearly completed their final recommendations on locations where dogs under control would be permitted to run, as well as areas where they would have to be on leash. At this time Kanata rules requiring dogs to be on leash still exist. Remember it is a requirement that you stoop and scoop your dog’s faeces and then TAKE THE BAG HOME. It is illegal to put a bag containing animal waste into a street waste container. You can empty it into your toilet or put it in your waste container at home. Many people have homes that back onto public space such as parks, hydro easements or school properties. Even if these lands are not fenced they are public lands and are not to be used to expand your backyard. Any plantings must first be approved by the City.
NOTES Thank you to the many volunteers who made Canada Day in Kanata another fabulous time for all. This event is completely organized by volunteers, including raising the necessary funds to put it on. They accept and need donations, so why not thank them by donating now to start the funding for next year’s event. Kanata’s new Park and Ride will be at the corner of Terry Fox Drive and Innovation Drive. Construction is expected to be completed by 2014.

Two-year-old expelled from Montessori school Dismissal comes in the wake of financial questions Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland. com
EMC news – A group of parents whose children attended a Montessori daycare in Nepean say they feel duped by the administration. The potential sale of the Canadian Montessori Academy (CMA) – including the Tiny Tots Montessori daycare – prompted one parent to question her son’s safety, along with the school’s financial well-being. Jackie Properzi’s young son attended the toddler program at the daycare. She said she started asking questions about the school when she noticed a restraining order preventing the school from offering a vocational program to train Montessori teachers. Properzi’s son had been attending the school since 2010, and she said she and her husband would have regular meetings to discuss their concerns regarding daycare programming, but her questions about the restraining order were more serious. Those questions would eventually lead to the expulsion of her two-year-old son. Prior to meeting with the owners of the daycare and school about the provincial order, Properzi learned the school building was for sale. “We had never been told anything about a potential sale,” she said. Many parents were concerned that the school could be sold and there would be no classrooms for their children come September. The de Mel family – Sherie and Lester de Mel and their daughter Sabena – own Tiny Tots and the Canadian Montessori Academy, which has been operating for 32 years. For the last 10 years it has been located on Fieldrow Street in Nepean. Lester, who acts as the business manager, said the possible sale of the school prompted some parents to complain. “We have had a few parents and teachers who took the news…quite badly and have reacted by calling four agencies with complaints,” Lester said in an email.
Properzi kept asking questions and contacted other parents with her concerns. Then the school, through Lester, called her actions “disruptive” and tried to implement a gag order. In addition to threatening to expel her two-year-old son, an April 28 email from Lester said no tuition would be refunded if he was ejected. “We are prepared to consider refunding your fees for 2012-13 in full, provided you refrain from any further conduct detrimental to the every day running of the school,” the email reads. “That means, absolutely no contact with teachers, staff, including the principal, about anything other than your son. It means no emails to parents, no letters or memos to teachers, staff or others.” Properzi continued to discuss the school’s issues with other parents and her son was expelled on May 8. Properzi is seeking a refund of the tuition paid for the 2012-13 school year. When asked to comment on the expulsion of Properzi’s son, Lester said the matter was under litigation and he couldn’t comment. DATES UNCLEAR
Lester said the school received a conditional offer to sell the land to developer Minto Group Inc. toward the end of March, although a Minto official told the EMC that negotiations began much earlier. Minto vice-president Jack Stirling said his company was in negotiations with the de Mel family since last fall and completed an environmental assessment of the property in December in anticipation of the sale being completed. Minto wanted to tear down the school and build new homes on the site but has since walked away from the deal citing lack of economic viability as the reason. Lester said the family didn’t tell parents about an imminent sale because they wanted to avoid upsetting them. “We tried to walk the line between being open and yet not causing distress and also with every intention of con-

tinuing the school which has been in operation for over 32 years,” he said, alluding to a possible new location. That doesn’t sit well with Properzi. “If they (Minto) were doing an environmental assessment, the de Mels were aware a sale could happen and we should have been told,” she said. By the time parents were aware of the potential sale, the March deadline for a refund of the full tuition for the 2012-13 school year had already passed, and no one knew where the teachers and classrooms might end up in September. The de Mels held a meeting with parents on April 25, telling them they could get a refund if they didn’t like the location of a new site. But parents wanted more information. One parent, who asked not to be named, said waiting until April to talk about the sale and even later to disclose possible new locations put parents in a tight spot if they had to look elsewhere for the upcoming year. “We just asked about possible locations and they said they couldn’t disclose them,” she said. “I don’t see why. I mean it’s not like we were going to go outbid them.” The mother of two said she and her husband were pressured to re-enroll their toddler son for the 2012 year in December. She said that early pressure was unusual. “We had been asked in the previous year, but we had never received multiple calls to re-register,” she said, adding that she has since pulled her son from the school and cancelled the post-dated cheques she provided to the school. Another parent said she was also similarly encouraged to re-enroll her son. TAXES OWING
According to documents prepared by the Land Registry Office on April 27, the de Mel’s property has tax liens totaling $685,240, which is owed to the city and the Canada Revenue Agency. A tax certificate for the property, prepared on June 14, shows $611,000 is owed to the City of Ottawa. The number continues to grow due to interest charges. The assessed value of the school and property are little more than the taxes owing. Lester said the property’s taxes had been appealed to the province’s assessment review board (ARB) and some decisions were pending. A search with the ARB showed appeals were filed between 2006 and 2009. They resulted in a lower property assessment in 2009, when the board lowered the value of the school property from $1.46

Administrators at a private Montessori school in Nepean are blaming parents who took the news of a potential sale of the school badly for calls to several governing agencies to complain about management of the school. million to $751,000. By 2009, the school already owed the city $496,000. The tax lien was placed on the property by the city in July 2011. According to the city’s website, properties with outstanding property taxes can be sold to pay the back taxes. The city registers a tax arrears certificate if taxes remain unpaid on vacant or improved land for three years prior to Jan. 1 of any year. A tax certificate obtained by the EMC shows outstanding taxes of more than $33,000 annually for 2010 and 2011, despite the $496,000 already accumulated in back taxes and interest. Head of the city’s department of revenue Ken Hughes said while he couldn’t comment on the specific case, the Municipal act allows the city to sell a property within a year of a tax lien being placed with the Land Registry Office. The city placed the lien in July of last year, meaning the city could put the property to tax sale once the year-long deadline has passed. Properzi said the possibility of a tax sale and the potential sale to Minto should have been disclosed to parents. “They are still taking tuition for summer camp and the next school year,” she said. “What happens if the city decides to sell the school? Then these people will be left without daycare.” SAFETY
Because of the school’s age it is exempt from legislation under the Day Nurseries Act. Daycares are subject to regulation under the act from the Ministry of Education, but
any daycare that was established before the legislation was enacted in 1990 is not obligated to comply with the legislation. Ministry of Education spokesperson Gary Wheeler confirmed the exemption of the Nepean daycare. “Tiny Tots is not a daycare as defined by the Day Nurseries Act,” he wrote in an email. “Tiny Tots is part of a private school. The Ministry of Education does not inspect private elementary schools or their facilities.” Properzi said when she registered her son, she was told about the exemption. “I was told when we registered that the exemption meant they used low-to-thefloor beds instead of high chairs,” she said. “That didn’t seem so bad to me.” But Properzi claims that what it actually means is that caregivers in the toddler program are too few in number. For licensed day cares, the province mandates no more than five toddlers per caregiver, but on May 3, after picking her son up, Properzi said she observed as many as 18 toddlers and only two caregivers. Stephanie Cummings taught at the school from August 2011 until May of this year. Cummings left the school on stress leave and has since quit. “I would be with as many as 18 children on my own at points during the day,” Cummings said. “I was terrified something would happen to one of the kids and I would be held responsible. Cummings said the administration was often unavailable for support. “A perfect ratio for Montessori education is four or five toddlers to one caregiver so that you can give them the attention they need,” she said, adding that she expressed concern to the administration over the number of children per educator.
Cummings said there were 18 children in the toddler program up until she left, and at the best of times they had three staff – which is a six-to-one ratio – but with breaks and schedules, that rarely happened. During the day one teacher would have to take a child to the bathroom and borrow someone from the other preschool programs, leaving both short, she said. One father, who asked not to be named, said his wife was asked to watch children when she picked their daughter up while a caregiver took another toddler to the bathroom. “She was furious,” he said. Properzi started to keep a close watch on what was going on at her son’s daycare. On April 2, she found a laundry room door unlocked, giving the kids access to chemicals like cleaners and bleach, she said. She sent photos to the administration and to some of the parents showing them the open door. She received an email from Lester two days later, calling her behaviour disruptive and said if it didn’t stop the administration would set limits on her attendance to the school. While Lester didn’t speak to the specific question of teacher-student ratios, he did say the school was inspected by a public health inspector on May 15 and was found in compliance. Lester provided a copy of the report from public health inspector Bruce Kemball. The inspection was the result of a parent concern about asbestos. Concerns were also expressed about visible mold. “Facility is maintained in a clean and sanitary condition,” the report reads. “The facility, classrooms and public areas were found to be clean and sanitary. No mold was observed in any of the public areas.” See MONTESSORI, page 54

Nepean’s Tiny Tots Montessori under the microscope From MONTESSORI, page 52

Lester said the school was also inspected by the Ministry
that we will be told. The inspectors basically advised us that we were in compliance.” Properzi’s son was expelled from the daycare on May 8 and she is among parents who filed a lawsuit in small claims court shortly thereafter. She wants all tuition refunded along with fees for the summer program this year. While Lester wouldn’t comment on the expulsion, a statement of defence prepared by him, Sabena and Sherie, confirms the May 8 expulsion and said several attempts were made to have Properzi and her husband Rob Tereposky cease and desist from actions that were characterized as “disruptive to the school.” “…the teacher’s involved in … (Properzi’s son) training both left on sick leave. And other staff were disturbed and upset by the plaintiffs,” the statement filed for the court read. Lester wouldn’t comment on the future of the school, saying only that the administration wrote to parents about the summer and the 2012-13 year. “There are no further decisions at this time,” he said. But parents said that leaves a lot up in the air. “At the town hall they were really driving parents to register,” Properzi said. “The thing is, if they had been honest with us, we could have tried to help.”
The father whose wife was asked to watch children when she went to pick up their daughter said he has since registered her in another Montessori school. “I am out a little bit of money, but that is nothing compared to my daughter’s safety,” he said. That same father started a website called Canadian Montessori Reviews. He said he wanted people to be aware of what they were signing up for. Properzi has started a campaign to end the grandfather exemption clause under the Day Nurseries Act, writing letters to local MPP and Conservative education critic Lisa MacLeod about the situation. MacLeod’s office declined comment when approached by the EMC. At least three toddlers in the Tiny Tots program have been removed by their parents and are now in alternate daycares. In a notice sent to parents on May 15, Sherie de Mel wrote, “The reality of both enrolment and costs has created the need to resize the school to continue the best teaching levels for the class sizes.” She added, “It isn’t possible to maintain the high CMA standards in the current facility.” Properzi said parents are still divided over whether or not to support the school.

Experts say Bayshore kids should be tested for lead School water showed extreme levels of lead for unknown period of time Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com
The water is flowing at Bayshore Public School, but there are still concerns about high levels of lead found in the school’s water in May and early June. Experts at two Ottawa universities suggest young children at Bayshore Public School be tested for exposure to lead and Ottawa public health says concerned parents can have their children tested by their family doctors. The water in all schools is tested annually, and a May 14 sample at Bayshore Public
School found lead levels more than 60 times the amount considered safe to drink. The school’s water fountains were shut down and bottled water supplied to students. The school’s pipes were flushed daily and the water retested weekly until two tests in a row showed the water was deemed safe to drink. The cause of the jump in lead levels at Bayshore has not been confirmed and it’s not clear how long students may have been drinking water contaminated with high levels of lead. A possible cause may have
been a new water fountain installed in early March or a clothes washer installed in April. Public school board spokeswoman Lauren Peddle said the board’s facilities department suspects recent construction near the school may have played a part on the high levels of lead found in May and early June. About 400 children attend Bayshore Public School, from kindergarten to Grade 5. Health Canada says exposure to lead can affect the intellectual development of children. The federal department says infants and toddlers are particularly vulnerable to the harmful effects of lead. UNDER AGE 6
A University of Ottawa professor who has expertise in neurocognitive development
suggested testing of young children exposed to lead. Amedeo D’Angiulli wrote in an email that all the children in the school should be tested as a precaution: “especially under the age of six.” D’Angiulli said it’s important that parents not be overly alarmed as treatments are available if the lead exposure is caught at an early stage. Testing for lead involves taking a pin-prick blood sample. If lead levels are found to be elevated, a doctor can prescribe chelation therapy, which includes a medication that binds to the lead in the patient so it can more easily pass out of the body in their urine. D’Angiulli suggested parents refer to the Mayo Clinic’s website at www.mayoclinic. com/health/lead-poisoning/ FL00068 for more information. The site lists both short-
and long-term effects of lead exposure. Some of the short term effects include: • irritability • loss of appetite • weight loss • sluggishness and fatigue • constipation • earning difficulties Long term effects include learning disabilities such as ADHD, dyslexia and in the worst cases, a lower IQ. TESTING
Thomas Moon, vice-dean of the faculty of science at Carleton University, said that if the children at Bayshore only consumed the water for a matter of weeks, the effects may be minimal, but added that tests are recommended. “It’s a pretty hard call,” Moon said. “Over the short term… I doubt that there are a lot of effects simply because it’s not there long enough.”
However, given the young age of some of the children, Moon said testing would be a good idea. “These are really high levels; you’re talking 60 times higher than what they should be,” he said. “Kids that are really young, their brains are developing much more quickly, so it could affect them more than it’s going to affect 14-year-olds. I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get tests done.” Peddle said on June 28 that testing the blood of students has not been suggested to parents. She said the board received advice from the city’s public health department about testing for lead “and the students don’t require it at this point.” Ottawa public health supervisor Kathy Downey said parents who are concerned can take their children to their family doctors for a blood test.
Planning for Canada’s big day Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - Creating a link to connect Canada from coast to coast. Organizing a nationwide chorus of O Canada. Offering immigrants the chance to tell their Canadian stories. These were just some of the ideas that Ottawa residents tossed around at a public consultation at the Lord Elgin Hotel on June 25 to discuss what Canada’s 150th birthday celebration should look like. The consultation exercise is part of a cross-country tour organized by the Canadian Capital Cities Organization. Lee Ellen Pottie, who works for the organization, was part of the group that visited Ottawa on June 25 to seek input from interested residents.
“We want to bring out Canadians’ sense of belonging and sense of ownership and get them excited about the upcoming celebrations,” she said. The consultation asked participants to answer six questions: How should Canada Day in 2017 be celebrated; what major events can be created to mark the 150th anniversary; what type of infrastructure or projects would people like to see to mark the anniversary; what could be the unifying themes for the celebrations; how can all Canadian across the country become engaged in the celebrations; and how can the year 2017 and the years leading up to 2017 encourage greater Canadian participation. The evening turned into a
brainstorming session featuring ideas ranging from legacy projects to neighbourhood parties to involving museums to creating a logging tournament. Danielle Jeddore, who works for the federal government, was among those who attended the consultation. “I came out because I work for Aboriginal Affairs and I am interested in adding the Aboriginal perspective to the consultations,” she said. That sort of perspective was exactly what Pottie was looking for. “Get people talking and bring up ideas you would not have thought about,” Pottie said. Jeddore and other residents from across the city participated after receiving an invitation through the National
Capital Commission, which is a member of the Canadian Capital Cities Organization. Beyond the series public meetings taking place at provincial and territorial capitals across the country, the organization has also set up an online survey Canadians to fill out on its website. “We wanted to have something that everyone could do, even if they do not participate in the public consultations, we are still taking down their considerations,” Pottie said. Information gathered from the consultation sessions and online survey will be used to draft a report, which will be completed in the fall. For more information visit the website at www.ccco-occ. com.

Docs threaten longer wait lists with healthcare cuts Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
EMC news – Doctors from the Ontario Medical Association warned of $1 billion in cuts to the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) to residents at Lynwood Park Lodge Retirement Residence on June 27. From pediatricians to palliative care doctors, those who deal with patients at the beginning and end of life spoke out against the proposed cuts. Among some of the concerns expressed were the closing of community-based diagnostic imaging clinics and fewer home visits from family doctors to palliative care patients. But Zita Astravas from the office of Deb Matthews, the provincial Minister of Health, said the government is investing $1 billion in health care. “The province is holding the line on physician compensation at $11 billion, which is exactly the same as last year,” Astravas said. Lisa MacLeod, the MPP for Nepean-Carleton, said the McGuinty government has launched a “vitriolic attack” on doctors. “Doctors train hard and work hard to care for residents,” she said. “Now the government is attacking the very people we are supposed to trust. The cuts would come from a two-year wage freeze for doctors and a reduction in fees for areas that have re-
ceived technological advances. There will also be new protocols to eliminate what the government calls unnecessary practices. But Dr. Merilee Fullerton, who works with a family practice in Kanata, said the changes will mean that a bureaucrat will be the one to determine whether the tests are necessary. “A bureaucrat from one of the government’s 200 agencies will be making those types of decisions when they have never seen a patient,” Fullerton said. “I am the one who treats my patients. I am the one who puts my arms around them if there is bad news to give.” Fullerton warned of doctors leaving the province if the changes go through. Dr. Robert Swenson, chief psychiatrist at the Ottawa Hospital, said the province’s doctors went to the government willing to freeze their wages for two years they also identify $250 million in possible health care savings over the next three years. “The government said ‘no way’ and ‘it’s all your fault,’” Swenson said. “But we have seen big mistakes in eHealth and medical transportation.” MPP Bob Chiarelli said following the approval of the provincial budget that some doctors have seen an increase to their salaries by as much as 100 per cent. But Swenson said that it’s dishonest to portray the doctors as the bad guys.
Jennifer McIntosh
Dr. Merilee Fullerton, a doctor in a family practice in Kanata said bureaucrats shouldn’t be making decisions about which tests need to be performed. One general practitioner with specialties in obstetrics and dermatology said under the new system she would take a 50 per cent fee reduction for offering biopsy services, instead of sending them elsewhere. “I think you will see fewer doctors offering those types of service, which will increase wait times to get diagnoses,” she said. The presenters overwhelmingly said the cuts won’t just mean a freeze on their wages,
but a decrease in their salaries. Swenson said there will 700 new doctors looking to set up shop in Ontario this year. “The government has said to us that their salaries will have to come out of what we make,” Swenson said. “I doubt they said the same to the teachers. Maybe it’s because they have a union.” Ed Whelan, a diagnostic radiologist who operates out of Kanata, said 50 per cent of
diagnostic imaging is done in the community, and the fee cuts may mean some clinics will have to close. “It’s not just chest X-rays and broken bones we are doing in the community,” he said. “The Ministry of Health says increases in technology make procedures easier. That’s silly. Now instead of studying 40 to 50 MRIs in a day, physicians are looking at 200 or 300. This will have a significant impact on pathology.
Dr. Susan Gick, who works in community palliative care, told the story of a patient who she called “Joe.” Joe had N-stage lung disease and wanted to die at home, so Gick and the man’s family doctor alternated visits to make sure he stayed comfortable and was able to end his life where he wanted to be. “I would say the care he got was the best available,” Gick said. “But with the cuts, that may mean family doctors will be less capable of making those types of visits.” Doctors said that they pay overhead for their clinics, staff and equipment out of their salaries and cuts to fees will mean their take-home pay will be reduced. Many of the doctors likened the changes to the reduction of medical school space under the NDP in the ‘90s. “Look at how long it took us to come back from that mistake,” MacLeod said. One resident spoke about a new funding model for healthcare. He said he waited a year for a back surgery that he would have gladly paid for, which would have removed him from the system and made room for people who really need it. “I think we should absolutely keep universal health care, but we can’t fund the system based solely on tax dollars,” he said. “We need to change the conversation around health care.”
Terry Fox van on display at the Civ EMC news - The Econoline camper van that was Terry Fox’s home away from home during his heroic Marathon of Hope in 1980 has a new home of its own. The iconic vehicle is being temporarily stored and preserved at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Gatineau. The beige vehicle was Terry’s sanctuary and travelling billboard. Side panels announced his name and purpose, and marked the progress of his historic and courageous attempt to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. The van is owned by the Fox family but is now being stored in museum-quality conditions to ensure its preservation until a permanent public home is found. “Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope are a critical part of Canadian history,” said Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation president Mark O’Neill. “Ultimately,
this work will advance our shared vision of finding a home for all things Terry that can be enjoyed by all Canadians and citizens the world over.” “It is of considerable comfort and a tremendous relief that Terry’s Marathon of Hope home is now in good and capable hands,” said Terry’s brother Darrell Fox. “We are grateful to the Canadian Museum of Civilization for its help in preserving this important piece of our national heritage.” The van was a constant presence throughout the Marathon of Hope and a familiar and stirring sight to millions of Canadians who saw it in person or followed Terry’s progress through the media. Fully restored in 2008 by its maker, the Ford Motor Company, the van appears today as it did during Terry’s run. It will remain in storage at the museum for the foreseeable future. R0011486235/0705

Group wants to discuss gender violence Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against launches new website Kristy Strauss
kristy.strauss@metroland.com
EMC community - A westOttawa based coalition wants to make sure the overall issue of violence against women in Canada isn’t ignored. Along with launching a new website, the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women will now be producing position papers throughout the year on a variety of topics for the community’s interest. “We’re building our capacity, making connections, and we’re really excited about these movements,” said Stefanie Lomatski, executive director of the coalition. “(Having these) position papers are a way to be more cohesive.” The coalition hopes to release three to five position papers a year. The first position paper coalition launched on June 28 dealt with how violence against women has been portrayed in the media, particularly when it comes to honour killings. “The assumed cultural na-
ture of the case spread like wildfire,” said Corrine Mason, a PhD student from the University of Ottawa, who studied how the recent Shafia murder trial was covered by two daily newspapers. Mason’s research forms the basis of coalition’s position that the way the trial was presented in the media was that violence against women in Canada became “ordinary” and honour killings became “extraordinary.” Mason concluded through her study of the Shafia trial that there were implications Canada was superior to the “Muslim world” regarding violence against women. She said that’s simply not true, however. Citing Statistics Canada reports, she said of the 146 women killed in homicides in 2008, 45 were murdered by their spouse or domestic partner. Between 2007 and 2008, more than 61,600 women were seeking abuse shelters. She added that according to the Native Women’s Association of Canada, there are 583 missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls in the country. “Honour killings (were portrayed as) a misogynist culture, committed by Muslims against Muslim women and children, and it was carefully planned,” she said. “Domestic violence by contrast (was por-
2008 Ford Focus SE
trayed as) individual men who were a few bad apples, nonMuslim, and women were not killed for transgressing cultural boundaries.” The coalition also said they’d like to work with media organizations and come up with a collaboration project that would help both parties get the message of violence against women out. Jordan Fairbairn who does public engagement for the coalition, and is also a PhD student, said the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence worked successfully with journalists and together came up with a hand book on reporting violence against women stories. “This is a model to work off of in Canada,” said Fairbairn. “They started from a point in recognizing that these are tough issues to cover.” For more information on the coalition, visit their website at: www.octevaw-cocvff. ca.

EMC news - The local Ride for Dad Watercraft Edition has partnered with the Ottawa Police to help raise awareness and support for prostate cancer. This year, Eastern Ontario will join the already established Ride for Dad Watercraft Edition in Windsor, Ont. The event will take place at Rideau Ferry and will welcome participants from across the region as well as members of the city’s police force who will hit the water in various watercraft vehicles on July 7. “It is all about raising awareness for prostate cancer,” said Brian Ivay, executive director of the Ride for Dad Watercraft Edition. “This is the transition from motorcycles to watercraft and the next generation of Ottawa police’s involvement in the Ride for Dad.” The Ride for Dad event, which took place on June 2, began in Ottawa in 2000, with only 80 participants. The event has since expanded to 30 communities across Canada and has raised more than $9 million for prostate cancer research and treatment. The watercraft edition began in Windsor in 2011 as an addition to the motorcycle ride. Ivay said it was at the last Ottawa Boat Show where he began speaking to area businesses and the police about the possibility of starting up
an Eastern Ontario watercraft edition. “Everyone was really into the idea and from there it just took off,” Ivay said. “We have had a lot of support from Ride for Dad to get this going.” The watercraft ride is open to all jet-powered watercraft, including personal watercraft vehicles like Sea-Doos (standup and sit-down models) and jet boats. The ride will depart Rideau Ferry and continue to Narrows Lock and then heading to Westport on Upper Rideau Lake. Then it’s back to the lock at Newboro and then heading
back to Narrows Lock and then back onto Big Rideau Lake. All lock fees are included in registration. The ride will then cross to Portland and loop back to Rideau Ferry. The round trip is expected to take about four to five hours with a total distance of 70 kilometres. Interested participants can pre-register for the Watercraft Ride for Dad online at www. ridefordad.ca or come out on ride day. The ride begins at 11 a.m. with closing ceremonies and a party will take place at Farrell Hall in Perth beginning at 5 p.m.

Sacred Heart Catholic High School student Mackenzie Foulkes, centre, receives the Peace Keeper Award from Richard Leger, left, and Claire Leger, right. Richard holds a framed photograph of their son, Sgt. Marc Leger, who died in Afghanistan. The award was presented during the Sacred Heart Catholic High School graduation ceremony on Thursday, June 28.
Student award a tribute to fallen John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Richard and Claire Leger presented a touching award on June 28. The Peace Keeper Award they handed out at the Sacred Heart Catholic High School graduation ceremony is given to a student who has demonstrated a peacekeeping approach among peers, a fitting memorial tribute to Sgt. Marc Leger, Richard and Claire’s son. Marc was killed, along with three other Canadian soldiers, in a “friendly fire” incident in Afghanistan in 2002. Every year Richard and Claire present the award at the graduation ceremony and each year there is an outpouring of applause for the presentation. But while Richard and Claire were doing this on stage before a packed assembly at the Bell Sensplex, they were
also lamenting what they had just heard about an hour before the graduation ceremony. And that is that an inukshuk monument built originally by Richard in 2003 and honouring Canada’s fallen soldiers in Afghanistan had been vandalized overnight and lay in pieces on the ground. The inukshuk was donated last September and sits in a memorial garden at the Royal Canadian Legion headquarters building in Kanata. Richard had built the inukshuk to replicate one that had been erected at the Kandahar air field in honour of Marc and the three other Canadian soldiers who had died in the friendly fire incident. It stood in the Leger’s front yard until last year when it was donated to the Royal Canadian Legion. It serves as a memorial outside the Legion’s Canadian headquarters in Kanata, honouring all
of Canada’s fallen soldiers in Afghanistan. The inukshuk, with several huge rocks that weigh about 400 kilograms, had been cemented and glued together so that it would not move. Yet the vandals managed to topple it over, breaking it into several pieces and scratching its plaque. The Legion acted quickly to restore the monument and it was repaired and back up by Thursday evening. But the vandalism still left both the Royal Canadian Legion and the Legers horrified that someone would vandalize a monument honouring Canada’s fallen soldiers in Afghanistan. On Canada Day, as in the past, they placed 158 Canadian flags on their lawn, representing the lives of the 158 Canadian soldiers who have lost their lives in Afghanistan over the years.
Brianna Delaney takes honours John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC sports - She not only shone on the ice. She also shone in the classroom. That’s why Brianna Delaney of Stittsville, who finished her record-setting career with the Robert Morris University women’s hockey team in Pittsburgh this year, has been honoured as College Hockey America’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year. She shares this honour with teammate Katelyn Scott who completed her first year with the Robert Morris Colonials. Delaney earned the honour, along with Scott, thanks to achieving a 4.0 grade point average during the 2011-12 academic year. The pair become the first student-athletes from Robert Morris University to claim this honour from College Hockey America. It also represents the first time since College Hockey America was formed in 2002 that two studentathletes from the same team have shared the honour. The Scholar-Athlete Award is presented annually to the student-athlete who achieves the
highest grade point average over the course of the academic semesters of competition. Delaney, an elementary education major at Robert Morris University, also claimed her third consecutive College Hockey America All-Academic Award. She was one of five players on the Colonials women’s hockey team to claim a spot on the league’s Academic AllStar Team. This past season, Delaney scored the game winning goal in Robert Morris University’s College Hockey America championship victory, earning all-tournament team honours. She completed her fourth and final year playing for the Colonials as the all-time leader in goals with 53, in assists with 68 and with points 121, as well as with the records for game-winning goals and power-play goals. Delaney is a graduate of Sacred Heart Catholic High School, where she played for the school’s girls hockey team. Her youngster sister Cobina Delaney, who also plays for the Robert Morris University women’s hockey team, also earned College Hockey America All-Academic Team honours with her 3.75 grade point average.

Lion thanked for 32 years of service John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - The highest award that a Lions Club can present to one of its members was on hand at the Stittsville District Lions Club’s installation of officers night on Friday, June 22. A Lions Club International Life Member Award was presented to Lion Ken Jones. He has over 32 years of service as a Lions Club member. During this time, he has served on the District A-4 cabinet and in 1998-99, he was the district governor. His record of service more than meets the criteria for the award, which includes 20 or more years of service and having rendered outstanding service to the club and commu-
nity. Also at the installation night, a Harry A. Newman Diabetes Award acknowledging commitment to the fight against diabetes and the work of the Canadian Diabetes Association was presented to Lion Don Zogalo. He has been involved in the Case For A Cure fundraising undertaken by the local club in support of the Canadian Diabetes Association. He has also served as the district chair for fundraising for the association. Two members of the Stittsville club were honoured for their long service to Lions. Both Don Carson and Don Redtman received 35year service pins. A plaque in appreciation of his service as the club’s president in the 2011-12 year was presented to outgoing president Bob Lewis.

It’s one way to cut a cake – use a fire axe. At least that’s what Ottawa Fire Service Stittsville sector Chief Todd Horricks, second from right, is pretending to do at the official cake cutting ceremony at the Canada Day seniors’ breakfast at the fire hall on Stittsville Main Street on Canada Day, Sunday, July 1st. Others involved with the ceremony are, from left, firefighter Dawn Marincak, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who hosts the breakfast, and firefighter Dawn Khalil, and, on the far right, Ottawa Fire Services Chief John deHooge.
Canada Day breakfast a red affair EMC news - A sea of red filled Ottawa fire station 81 on Stittsville Main Street for the annual Canada Day seniors breakfast hosted by Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri. Georgie Gosham-Hamer of Qadri’s staff served as the MC for the event which began at 8 a.m. on July 1. Most of those attending wore something red in honour of Canada Day.
A massed singing of O Canada was followed by grace said by John Brummell, after which everyone enjoyed the breakfast catered by Stittsville’s own Scrumptious Creative Catering. There was Canada Day cake for everyone with entertainment provided by the Schmodkas featuring Fordie, Clara Baker and Lynn Veitch.
Teen takes on near-drowning her first day lifeguarding John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news –Kate Winn rescued a four-year-old from drowning at a City of Ottawa wading pool on Friday, June 29. It was just a day after the 17-year-old received an award at the Sacred Heart Catholic High School graduation for community involvement and service. The rescue came on Kate’s first day on the job at the Michele Heights Community Centre wading pool, in the Bayshore area, working as a City of Ottawa lifeguard. Just before 5 p.m., Kate did not hesitate or delay in taking action as she rescued a four-year-old boy who
was floating face down in the wading pool. She administered CPR and the boy was breathing on his own when Ottawa paramedics arrived and took over, eventually taking the youngster to hospital. He has since been released. Indeed, Kate is now hoping she may have the opportunity to teach him how to swim in the future. Kate’s extensive training provided by the city helped her react in this crisis situation in her first day on the job. She was back at work on the weekend, not missing a day despite the incident. Kate received her graduation diploma at Sacred Heart on June 28 and was a recipient of one of the 38
individual awards presented at the ceremony. She received the Rotary Club of Ottawa-Stittsville Award and its accompanying $500. This award is presented to a graduating student who has shown community involvement and participated in actions that reflect the four Rotary truths of truth, fairness, goodwill and benefitting others. This is not the only major award which Kate received during Grade 12 at Sacred Heart. Last October, at the school’s honour roll and top mark assembly, Kate received the Catholic Student Award presented by the Catholic Education Foundation of Ottawa.

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!
