EMC news - The recent amalgamation of the Hospice at May Court and Friends of Hospice Ottawa is just the start of a new way of helping the terminally ill in the city, according to hospice officials. “We have both had our share of financial challenges, but working under one banner we will be able to expand,” said David Hogberg, executive director of the Hospice at May Court. On June 29, the Kanata-based Friends of Hospice and the Old Ottawa South-based Hospice at May Court announced the two organizations were joining forces in an effort to avoid shutting down. Hogberg said the May Court has struggled to stay afloat and without the merger, the hospice would be faced with a $150,000 deficit this year. “It is has been a struggle,” Hogberg said. “When we fundraise, we historically raise only 25 per cent of what is needed ... and over the last years we have seen a drop in those donations.” The new arrangement will mean the organizations will not be fighting for donations or government funds, but instead will benefit from expanded funding opportunities.

Brush fire destroys 40 hectares Jessica Cunha and Blair Edwards jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news – A huge brush fire in the city’s west end burned more than 40 hectares of a nature trail near Bridlewood last weekend. At its peak, 70 firefighters battled the blaze on the Lime Kiln Trail, between Moodie Drive and Richmond Road,

which first flared up on Thursday afternoon, July 12, and continued to spread over the weekend. Three firefighters were taken to hospital with heat-related conditions, who were later released. On Monday, July 16, 45 firefighters remained in the area fighting more than 100 spot fires and flare ups, assisted by helicopters.

Two bulldozers and an excavator were also used to cover hot spots. “We need rain, that’s basically the bottom line,” said Marc Messier, spokesperson for the Ottawa fire department. “If Mother Nature could throw some rain, it could probably help us get a handle on all these spot fires in one shot.” See DRY, page 2

Public asked to avoid Stoney Swamp area Emergency workers, large equipment still on site Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The National Capital Commission is asking the public to avoid the Stoney Swamp area of the Greenbelt. “We’re asking public to please remain off the site,” said NCC spokesperson Jasmine Leduc. “Because of last Thursday’s brush fire in the Stoney Swamp area, we’re asking the public to avoid the area for personal safety reasons.” The Stoney Swamp area, with more than 40 kilometres of trails, is bordered by Old Richmond Road, and Moodie and Stonehaven drives. The NCC has closed parking lots P8, P9 and P10 on Moodie Drive and P6 on Old

Richmond Road. “Firefighters, NCC conservation officers and other emergency service providers are still onsite with large equipment,” said Leduc, adding the closures are in effect until further notice. “The NCC’s priority is public safety.” FIRE

A huge brush fire burned more than 40 hectares of the Lime Kiln Trail, between Moodie Drive and Richmond Road. The blaze began on July 12 and continued to spread throughout the following days. Firefighters remained on scene on Monday, July 16, fighting spot fires and flare ups.

BLAZE

When the fire started, firefighters travelled on foot and on ATVs and used water supplied by a brush truck to fight the blaze, said Messier. “They’re a kilometre in (from the road) and they are reporting several spot fires as well as areas that are burning,” said Messier, adding he re-

ceived reports of flames “eight or nine feet high” that spread to cedar trees on the trail. “Everything’s dry,” he said. “Everything’s spreading quickly. It’s windy and that’s not in our favour. “The other issue we’re dealing with is heat.” Fire crews had to be cycled to rehydrate and rest, he said. Both Richmond Road and Moodie Drive were closed to traffic between Fallowfield and Hunt Club roads on July 12 while crews battled the fire.

A helicopter lands on Moodie Drive while helping co-ordinate fire crews at a major brush fire near Bridlewood on July 12.

Eleven homes along Richmond and West Hunt Club roads were evacuated on July 12. The Wild Bird Care Centre on Moodie was not evacuated, he added. Two helicopters were also on scene, one dropping water on the blaze and one surveying the area from the sky. The helicopter surveying the landscape landed on the road amid emergency vehicles before taking off again.

Messier said the cause of the fire has not been determined. There were no reported injuries.

Youth centre to host suicide prevention talk Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The Kanata Haven Youth Centre will host a suicide prevention discussion for youths on Wednesday, July 25. The Distress Centre of Ottawa will host safeTALK, a suicide alertness workshop and training session at the Lion Dick Brule Community Centre in Glen Cairn, in partnership with the Haven and Reach Up Ottawa. The three-hour training will help teach youth how to respond if someone opens up to them about suicidal thoughts and how to connect people with helpful resources. “We’re really excited about the safeTALK,” said Diane McNulty, a board member with the Kanata Haven Youth Centre. “Basically, (this is) to educate and empower youth to give them the tools so they know how to respond.”

A survey conducted by the centre found the majority of the youth polled at the Haven said they would talk to a friend first if they were dealing with dark thoughts, as opposed to an authority figure or a stranger on the telephone.

A lot of kids are afraid to say the wrong thing. DIANE MCNULTY KANATA HAVEN YOUTH CENTRE

“A lot of kids are afraid to say the wrong things,” said McNulty. “We want to open a dialogue…so they aren’t afraid.” According to safeTALK, “most people with thoughts

yourottawaregion.com connecting your communities

of suicide invite help. Often these opportunities are missed, dismissed or avoided – leaving people more alone and at greater risk.” SafeTALK teaches people how to identify and engage people with thoughts of suicide and how to connect them to help. The session is geared toward youth but adults are invited to register as well. Spaces are limited and advance registration is required; email diane@kanatahavenyouthcentre.com to book a spot. It costs $5 a person to help pay for the hall rental and refreshments, but subsidies are available, said McNulty. “We don’t want to turn anyone away,” she said, adding the centre will consider hosting another safeTALK in the fall. The workshop will be held on July 25, at the Lion Dick Brule Community Centre, 170 Castlefrank Rd., from 7 to 10 p.m.

EMC news - A Glen Cairn man whose wife was killed in a car crash in Portugal in April has died of his injuries. Nigel Kilby, a founding member of the Ottawa English Country Dance Club and an active volunteer in his community, was seriously injured in a head-on collision near Faro, Portugal on April 3. Nigel and his wife, Angela, were driving to an airport in Portugal when they swerved to avoid a paper delivery van

Canlok Stone Inc.

which was driving on the side of the road. Angela was killed in the collision and Nigel suffered serious injuries. Nigel, who was transported to the Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus on May 24, was taken off life support, according to a family statement on the Ottawa English Country Dance Club website. “There is great solace in knowing that he is once again with his wife and many others who were awaiting his passing,” said the statement. “Please don’t allow your grief

to wallow in sadness for long. That isn’t the way Angela and Nigel lived their lives.” MEMORIAL

A memorial service was scheduled to be held at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, 20 Young Rd. in Briarbrook on Friday, July 13, starting at 11 a.m. “We will celebrate both Angela and Nigel’s amazingly full and colourful lives on Sept. 22 at 1 p.m. also at St. Paul’s. Details will follow later in the summer.” 0510.R0011388258

“We are expecting this will expand the reach of donors and should be easier to raise the number of donors over time,” Hogberg said. The Old Ottawa South hospice is the only area hospice which offers residential endof-life care. With only 10 beds, residents in Ottawa and the surrounding area can be placed on a long waiting list and typically spend their final days in a hospital. Hogberg said the new arrangement will help solve this problem. In the fall, however, the new organization will create 10 new temporary beds at the Kanata hospice, with the intent of making them permanent beds in the next year. “The additional beds are very important,” Hogberg said. “A study once said in Ottawa we should have 88 beds and we have nine.” He said at the end of the day, the Friends of Hospice will eventually be run in a similar manner to the May Court: a full-residential palliative care facility. On June 12, the federal government announced a three-year initiative to support the development of new palliative care models and the May Court received a onetime federal funding grant of $3 million. The funding is to help ensure that hospice palliative care is available at the community level not only for patients, but their families as

David Hogberg, executive director of the May Court, spoke about integrating the two city hospices on June 4. well. This funding will be part of what is needed to help the organization expand and offer more beds in the future. The goal over the next two to three years is to add and additional two residential

hospices in the south and east ends of Ottawa, with the ultimate goal of expanding to 40 beds across the city. The May Court has more than 500 volunteers who help with fundraising and with patient care.

Beetle fight gets million-dollar injection EMC news - The city is injecting a million dollars into its effort to battle the emerald ash borer. The tree-killing bug is ravaging ash across North America and the city has been working to stop it in its tracks since 2008. Most of the combat strategy involves cutting down infected trees and replacing them with other tree varieties as well as injecting select trees with inoculants that can keep the trees alive. The additional money will allow the city to inject more trees and plant more replacements this year. Mayor Jim Watson called

recent input from the public asking for more trees to be injected instead of cut down. The money will come from the city’s environmental resource areas acquisition reserve fund. NO DIFFERENT

But Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans asked the city to push the federal government to kick in funding to combat the insect. Deans said she doesn’t see the effects of the ash borer as being any different than the effects of an ice storm or a forest fire. “Maybe (the trees) come down over a longer period of time, but they are still coming down,” Deans said.

According to a memo sent out by McRae on July 9, the city is also looking at finding ways to sell wood from the infected ash trees it cuts down. The city issued a request for proposals for contractors with ideas of how to use the wood; it would be the first contract of its kind in Canada, McRae’s memo said.

the beetles, which kill trees by feeding under the bark, the “the 21st century version of the ice storm.” “We have to be aggressive (and) ensure we have the resources necessary,” Watson said. River Ward Coun. Maria McRae, who head’s up the city’s environment committee, led the charge for the funding. “You can’t drive down streets in different parts of our wards without seeing the ravaging effect of the emerald ash borer,” McRae said. She said she wants the city to focus on buying larger trees, not just “spindly ones” that can’t survive the summer heat. The move is in response to

SUMMER COMPANY

The Summer Company Program had close to 200 applications for the program this year. “It’s clear that there is an appetite for entrepreneurism amongst our students today,” said Micheal Burnatowski, manager at Invest Ottawa, in a news release. “Even though the program lasts only a few months, Summer Company helps students develop transferable business skills that will last a lifetime.” The Summer Company Program is a Ministry of Economic Development and Innovation program designed to help young entrepreneurs develop, plan and execute a successful business venture. “Whether these students choose to keep their businesses going or pick it up again after finishing school, we are confident that their experience this summer will give them a solid base from which to launch their next big idea,” said Burnatowski.

Heather, who will be starting Grade 12 at All Saints in the fall, heard about the Summer Company opportunity from Hamish Pope, a graduate of the summer business program. Pope launched Funlight Laser Tag – a mobile laser tag game in 2010 at the age of 17. He mentioned the opportunity when he catered Heather’s younger brother’s birthday, she said. “This way, I’m following guidelines,” she said. “The Summer Company was more of an opportunity to turn it into a business.” She had to create and submit a business plan, and commit to business training, meetings and tracking her bookkeeping to be eligible for the Summer Company Program. For her efforts, Heather received a $1,500 grant at the beginning to help with her start up costs, and if she meets all the requirements, she will receive an additional $1,500 at the end of the summer. “The program is really good and I want to encourage students to apply,” she said. “I think that’d be a great thing, for more students to be

EMC news - An All Saints Catholic High School student is giving one-on-one swimming lessons this summer and learning how to manage her own business in the process. Heather Wilcocks-Gynn, 17, created Ridgeside Swimming after being named one of 14 Ottawa students selected to take part in the Summer Company Program, a province-wide project that helps students launch and manage successful businesses. “I’ve always been interested in business,” said Heather, who lives in the Ridgeside Farm community on the cusp of Kanata and Carp. She added the Summer Company Program gives students a good preview of running a small business. Heather has been taking swimming lessons for years and has a slew of qualifications. “I’ve always been taking the lessons; in the back of my mind I knew I wanted to teach,” said the certified lifeguard and swim instructor. “I love being outside. I love working with kids.” Heather is giving lessons mostly in the Ridgeside Farm community and surrounding area, but said she’s thinking about expanding her business next summer. Her company offers children the chance to learn in their family’s own pool to maximize their ability. “It’ll really improve their swimming abilities faster than at any other pool,” said Heather, adding some children can be shy to speak up in large group settings. “If you can make them confident in themselves they’re more likely to try new things.” Heather has been teaching the Brown siblings, four-yearold Jacob and six-year-old Sydney, how to maneuver in the water. They finished their sixth lesson on Monday, July 9. When Jacob started, he was

wearing water-wings, said his mother Michelle. After two lessons, he was swimming and floating under his own power. “It’s awesome to be able to have the kids in their own pool in their own backyard,” said Michelle. “Seeing their ability go up…it’s nice to be a part of that,” said Heather. “That’s a really great part of the job.”

involved.” Alan, Heather’s father, said he’s very proud of his daughter. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for her to get some great business experience,” he said. “The whole concept of starting the business up and having access to professional advice on tax matters, it’s just astounding for a young person to receive that knowledge.” Heather said she plans on continuing Ridgeside Swimming. “I definitely want to do this next year and the summers to come.” For more information, visit the website at http://ridgesideswimming.ca or email heatherwg@ridgesideswimming. ca.

We all need to be aware of drought dangers

A

s the city bakes in the midst of a particularly intense heat wave, we all need to be wary of the dangers posed by successive days of hot, dry weather. So far this year we’ve experienced more than two weeks worth of days where the mercury has risen above 30 C. We’ve seen fewer than 20 millimetres of rain in the past month. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority has issued a Level II low

water conditions warning and there have been brush fires breaking out due to the tinder-dry conditions. All of these factors mean residents need to be aware of the consequences of this ongoing heatwave. These things may seem obvious to some, but we’re currently experiencing conditions uncommon to the Ottawa area, making it worthwhile to consider the risks we’re currently facing. It’s often mentioned when

heat or humidex warnings are issued, but be mindful of the young, elderly and the infirm. They can’t handle extreme heat conditions like the rest of us, so make sure your children, parents and grandparents, friends and neighbours are OK when the mercury spikes. Remember pets get hot too – make sure Rover has plenty of fresh water and don’t leave him in the car on a hot day. That’s the easy part. When it comes to drought it’s a dif-

ferent story. We’re not really used to such an acute lack of rainfall. When things dry out, they become more likely to catch fire. Last week, a pair of wildfires in the city’s west end brought the potential consequences of carelessness to the fore. While not all forest fires are caused by human action, for the sake of our neighbours, we must take care. Make sure you’re barbecuing away from dry grass

or other plants. There’s currently a campfire ban in the city, so don’t have a campfire, no matter how safe you think you’re being. And if you’re about to toss your cigarette butt out the car window, think again – yours could be the spark that burns down someone’s home or costs someone their life. Dry conditions aren’t just a fire danger. Low water levels in area rivers pose a threat to the water we drink.

While there haven’t been any water use restrictions imposed yet, as responsible citizens we need to stop and think every time we turn on a tap or flush a toilet. Making sure everyone has ready access to clean water for drinking and cooking is far more important than whether your lawn is green or the car gets washed. The stakes during a drought are really no different than those faced during an ice storm. Both are extreme weather occurrences and pose threats to life and limb, requiring us all to be vigilant and look out for one another.

COLUMN

Why one less newspaper matters CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

Y

ou might have noticed the absence of a thunk on your doorstep on Sunday. By long-standing newspaper tradition, a “thunk� is the sound a newspaper makes when it lands. Even when it has so few pages it can barely be heard at all. The Sunday Citizen never did make much of a thunk. The money in newspapers is not on Sunday. Saturday is more like it, and Wednesday, when the grocery stores are advertising. The Sunday Citizen did, at times in its 24year history, make a bit of a thunk: there were years, particularly in the ’90s, when some of the smartest content in the paper was reserved for Sunday. (By absolute coincidence, I wrote for the paper during those years.) But being smart and attracting advertisers are not necessarily the same thing. Canadian advertisers and readers have always liked Saturdays. It is one of the things that separate us from the Americans, whose Sunday papers are huge. Canadian advertisers and readers are slow to change. The Sunday paper, here as elsewhere, was costing money not making it. So the Sunday Citizen that may not have made much of a sound on your doorstep on Sunday was the last one you will see. If you lived in Calgary or Edmonton, same thing. Times are tough for daily newspapers all over the continent. There are layoffs and buyouts. Several papers have suspended print publication altogether, choosing to exist only online. In addition to the end of some Sunday editions in Canada, the National Post has stopped publishing on Mondays in the summer.

Newspapers are being told, on the one hand, that they should save trees, not to mention many other costs, and switch to online publishing, and on the other hand, that it is impossible to make money online. It is difficult to avoid speculating on what comes next. Will Monday, another thin day, become a non-publishing day in more cities? Some papers have gone to three days a week or online-only publication. Will they survive that? And where will that leave readers? If you read the online comments, you find some readers being rather brave about the whole thing. They can get all the news they want online, and free, they say. In a way, this is true, especially if readers don’t want as much news as they used to, which is quite possible. We now have so many things to amuse us that we have less time for news, or think so. And the fact readers think they can get all the news they want for nothing means that it will be difficult for newspapers to succeed in charging for their online content. Announcements of any plan to charge for online content are always greeted with online scorn. But, as many smart people have pointed out, that free online news has to come from somewhere, and the somewhere is a media organization that hires and pays reporters. It could be a wire service, a radio station or a television network, but it’s likely a newspaper. And it wasn’t free to produce. News doesn’t come from nowhere, in other words, and it will not continue if the organizations that produce it cease to exist. All of which seems like a rather drastic observation to make based on the demise of a few Sunday editions. But the economic problems and changing readership patterns behind it are distressing. And even more distressing is the looming shortage of news, coupled with what appears to be public indifference to it. Of course, it’s special pleading for people in the news business to talk about how important it is for there to be lots of news, how important it is for there to be reporters, how important it is for there to be a thunk on the doorstep. But then, you’re reading it in a newspaper.

OPINION

To the editor: I wish to protest the proposed re-zoning of 1131 Teron Rd. for a highrise on behalf of the people who will live there. The location will negatively affect the social and emotional well-being of its future residents. Urban planners universally recognize the importance of the calming effect of the natural environment, in creating a liveable city. It provides the buffer that enables people to live harmoniously, in close proximity to one other. This is why the current apartment buildings in Beaverbrook work: They are set back from their neighbours and are surrounded by green space. I am appalled that anyone would even consider it appropriate to put a 15-storey building with 179 units, on this tiny piece of property, squeezed between the street and a power corridor. This location does not provide for connection either to the natural environment, or to the surrounding community. Residents of this building will be isolated from the community for many reasons: The community face of this building will be a massive wall rising up along Teron Road. Without the setbacks and landscaping that is characteristic of the community it will be seen as a fortress. It will be difďŹ cult for the community to connect to these residents. There will be major roads on three sides, further isolating the property. On the fourth side, residents will be isolated from their neighbours by high fences and hedges, as those townhouses attempt to protect themselves from the loss of privacy caused by a highrise looming over them.

It will not be a pedestrianfriendly location due to trafďŹ c. It will not become part of a vibrant commercial node encouraging walking, due to the existing commercial business buildings. The noise of trafďŹ c will discourage residents from using their outdoor space. There will be a major hydro line within a few metres of the ďŹ fth to seventh stories, along the northeast side of the building. Although health effects of electromagnetic radiation are still debated, at the very least, many experience a feeling of distinct unease due to the constant buzz of the wires. At the intended density, too many people will be crowded onto a small piece of land. The closer people live to each other, the less they are likely to have social contact with each other. As a result, people in apartment buildings know few, if any, of their neighbours. All of these factors will create a very isolating, negative, social environment. People who do not feel connected to the place where they live, will not have the sense of support, or of responsibility, that is an essential component of healthy communities. This building will become a reproach to the community and the city as an example of a failure to plan for the social and emotional health of its residents. If this area is to be developed as a residential property, it must be zoned for townhouses that will at least promote a connection to the surrounding neighbourhood. I urge the residents of Beaverbrook to write to Marc Magierowicz, at the city’s planning department, asking that the application to re-zone 1131 Teron Rd. for a mid or highrise building be denied. The city is still accepting written submissions from citizens. Beata Myhill Beaverbrook

Beyond the child-centric world

W

hen my ďŹ rst child was born, like most new mothers, I was completely awestruck. At once, I became aware of how innocent this little baby was, while at the same time acknowledging my responsibility to mold him into some sort of respectable little human. My friends – God love them – must have had enormous patience with me, as I bragged about every new development in my perfect infant’s life. “He smiled today, several weeks earlier than the books said he would,â€? I gloated. “He started making noises when I tapped out a song on the xylophone.â€? I was completely in love with this child. As a result, I inadvertently made him the centre of my world, forsaking social events and swearing off external childcare to ensure I was present for every mo-

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse ment. I was also completely oblivious to the needs of others around me as I selďŹ shly focused on how to raise my perfect child. Looking back, I realize how impatient and judgmental I was of other children and adults. If an older child had a toy my son wanted to play with, my knee-jerk reaction was to ask the older child to “please let the baby have a turn,â€? without any thought to the injustice of it all. If I was having a conversation with someone and baby interrupted, I would immediately silence

the interlocutor so I could attend to the baby. And the family hierarchy shifted completely, so that my husband was very much reduced in importance, secondary to our offspring. It wasn’t until 16 months later that I managed to garner some perspective. Now with two children, and barely enough sleep or patience to dote on anyone, it was impossible to focus my world around my eldest son. Long days of changing diapers, soothing tears and reading nursery rhymes made me feel

much less altruistic than I had in the past. I began to crave and cherish my husband’s company in the evening. And I began to look for ways to reverse my childcentric parenting behaviour. As with most things, I found it easier to gain perspective by critiquing the parenting style of others (rather than by looking in the mirror). I watched in disgust as other parents allowed children as old as 11 interrupt their adult conversations. I fumed when an acquaintance of mine snatched a water gun out of my son’s hand because her six-year-old, on the verge of a tantrum, said he “wanted it back now.� Resisting the urge to slap them both, my son and I quietly relented and moved onto another activity. But the lesson of the moment wasn’t lost. See FINDING, page 10

I’ll admit I’m frequently still a victim of my children’s needy ways – what parent can resist? But after many years of practice, I believe I’ve found a healthier balance in my family life, much of it founded on my ability to set limits to the children’s demands. I’ve returned my spousal relationship to the top of the hierarchy, which means bed times are now strictly upheld in our house; we have a zero tolerance policy for temper

tantrums; and the word “no” is used with much frequency in our attempt to set limits. To the outsider, I may appear a bit hardnosed. But most of the time, I guiltlessly stick to my strict guns regardless of how others perceive me because I have long since determined there is no value in making my children feel they’re the centre of the world. Instead, I hope we are guiding our children to deal reasonably well with the disappointment, resistance and failure that will inevitably surface throughout their lives.

Couple wins hospital lottery Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Nepean resident Lisa Serres Crosby went to work on July 13 just like any other day, except that day she was $1.5 million richer. “When I got to work everyone was like, ‘What are you doing here?’” Serres Crosby said. She and her husband Lloyd Crosby were notified of their windfall courtesy of the Ottawa Hospital and CHEO’s We all Win Lottery on July 12. She said they have been playing the annual lotto since its inception.

“There were some issues when my daughter was born and we spent some time at CHEO,” Serres Crosby said. “And any time we were there for any of our kids we always had excellent service. So if I am going to support something it might as well be something I have respect for.” When the couple got the call from Kevin Keohane, the chief operating officer of the CHEO Foundation, they thought it was one of their children playing a joke on them. “It was the kind of thing we would have all laughed at,” Serres Crosby said. When they found out that the win was

real, they were thrilled, but things are business as usual for Serres Crosby, who reported for work with the federal government the next day. “I am going to be keeping my job. I love it and the people I work with,” Serres Crosby said. Since the win, the family has been fielding calls from friends, family and well wishers. “We are still a little dazed,” Serres Crosby said. “We don’t really know what’s next.” Ticket holders can check their ticket numbers at weallwin.ca as of 5 p.m. on July 13.

Gala to benefit cancer researchers jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Funds raised through this year’s 10th-annual Lumière Charity Gala will benefit cancer researchers as they seek out a cure. The Brookstreet Hotel, which hosts the annual event, announced on Thursday, July 12, that funds raised will benefit the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation and its year-long, $8-million fundraising campaign The Cancer Research Project. The research project is focused on supporting researchers and clinicians with funding for clinical trials and innovative projects. “They’re our hope for the future,” said Linda Eagen, Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation president and CEO. The money will “support the researchers, the champions for a cure,” she said. Patrice Basille, executive vice president and general manager of the Brookstreet Hotel, said cancer is something that has touched the staff at the company personally. Ten employees at the Kanata hotel were diagnosed with various forms of cancer. Each overcame his or her battle to become cancer survivors, he said. “We’ve all been touched by cancer,” said Eagen. JAZZ INSPIRED MENU

The 2012 Lumière Charity Gala will take place at the Brookstreet Hotel, located at 525 Legget Dr., on Sept. 12. The event will feature “four-diamond cuisine” paired

with various wines. Executive chef Clifford Lyness created a menu inspired by jazz festivals from around the world, including Indonesia, New Orleans and Wales. “We’re looking forward to an awesome night,” said Lyness over video chat during the announcement. Lyness is currently overseas at the Brookstreet’s sister hotel, the Celtic Manor, in the United Kingdom. He added there will be live cooking demonstrations throughout the night. The evening will feature a live and silent auction, a jazz band, and a fireworks display. The dress code is elegant casual. Now in its 10th year, the Lumière Charity Gala first began in June 2003 to celebrate the grand opening of the Brookstreet Hotel. Due to a successful event, chairman Terry Matthews decided to make the event an annual fundraiser. To date, Brookstreet has donated more than $300,000 to local charities and over $160,000 for cancer research through Lumière. This year’s event is being held in partnership with the Wesley Clover Foundation, a non-profit charity committed to supporting advances in healthcare research. Early bird tickets can be purchased for a reduced price of $125 before July 31. The price rises to $150 after that date. Discounts are available for groups of 10 or more people.

Keeping Ottawa’s power supply reliable

Your Community Newspaper

Ottawa’s power supply over the past several years has been among the most reliable in Ontario, according to Ontario Energy Board statistics. Power outages can and do occur, however, for a variety of reasons. Storms, tree contacts, a loss of supply from the provincial grid, and equipment failure can all cause outages. Most of these causes are beyond our control at Hydro Ottawa. In 2011, for example, three major storms hit Ottawa in the spring and summer, causing widespread outages. We worked long hours in challenging conditions to get the power back on as soon as possible. To improve reliability, we invested about $50 million to enhance our existing power grid in 2011. Our plan is to maintain or exceed this level of spending over the next five years. We have a rigorous maintenance program, we replace aging assets, and we are adopting new, smart grid technologies including automated controls and sensors that can help to prevent or quickly identify outages. Our year-round tree trimming program is another element of outage prevention, helping to keep trees from making contact with electricity wires. We trim more than 40,000 trees a year to reduce outages and keep the public safe. When unplanned outages do occur, please call the Power Outage Line – 613-738-0188 – to report the outage and to get updated information. You can also pass along information if you are aware of something (like a downed wire) that would help our power restoration activities. Also available is an Online Power Outage Map at www.hydroottawa.com/outages. Updated every 15 minutes, the map displays the location of outages, the estimated number of customers affected, the cause of the outage, and the estimated time of restoration, once known. We all depend on a reliable supply of power at home and work. At Hydro Ottawa, we are focused on preventing power outages and restoring power as quickly as possible when outages occur.

March Tennis Club’s junior champion David Wu faced off against former club champion Andrei Marinescu in one of the first matchups during the Kanata Klassic tennis tournament on July 16. Marinescu beat Wu 6-1.

Kanata Klassic kicks off Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC sports - The ninth-annual Kanata Klassic kicked off at the March Tennis Club on Monday, July 16. With close to 100 participants this year, the seven-day tennis tournament is continuing to raise funds for the Canadian

Cancer Society. “We’ve raised just under $11,000 in the last three years,” said Jonathan Adamson, founder of the Kanata Klassic and president of Adamson’s Tennis Academy. All proceeds raised are donated to the cancer society. Junior club champion David Wu faced off against former

club champion Andrei Marinescu in one of the first matches. Marinescu beat Wu, 6-1. The competition is one of the biggest tournaments in the city, while maintaining a local feel, said tournament co-chair Emad Hussain. “We wanted to have a local (tournament with) a more community feel to it,” Hussain said.

EMC news - After a turbulent year in 2011 that saw show cancellations due to financial difficulties, the appointment of a new general director has brought an air of optimism back to Ottawa’s largest opera company.. Opera Lyra is looking to put a period of setbacks behind it with introduction of John Peter Jeffries to the company. “John Peter Jeffries was chosen after an extensive, international search,” said Malcolm McCulloch, chairman of the opera’s board of directors, in a release. “Mr. Jeffries has over 30 years experience in the opera business and is eminently qualified for the position. He has managed three American opera companies of similar size to Opera Lyra and before that, worked for the Canadian Opera Company as director of production operations.” The Opera Lyra board, McCulloch added, is extremely pleased to welcome Jeffries to the organization. Jeffries started in the business as a carpenter for an opera show and one night decided to attend a performance. From there, he said, he was hooked. “It was the power of an unaided voice,” Jeffries said. Now, the new general director is looking forward to sharing his love of opera with the city. “It truly is a full-bodied experience,” Jeffries said. “It is a show that uses a combination of all the arts.” With over 20 years in the business, Jeffries worked his way up in the theatre world, starting as a carpenter, then a stage hand and not long after, he got into management. He said his knowledge will definitely help the company run smoothly. “I certainly understand all the things that happen on the stage, that will help when it comes to building a budget,” Jeffries said. He said the company will produce popular works to remind people the beauty in an opera. Jeffries admitted there were some works he still finds emotional. “I get a little sniffly at La Bohème, even after all these years,” Jeffries said. “But all the works tend to tear at the emotions; it tends to deal with grand passions and extrava-

EMC news - The 1st Kanata Scouts billeted a group of Inuit youth from Pangnirtung, Nunavut, for 10 days this month. The exchange trip, hosted by the Society for Educational Visits and Exchanges in Canada (SEVEC), a national charitable organization that promotes educational visits, trips and exchanges in Canada, is a chance for the two groups to share their culture. “It’s been pretty amazing so far,� said Arun Ward, 18, a member of the scouts.

Thirteen of the 1st Kanata Scouts will be heading

to Pangnirtung, Baffin Island and Auyuittuq National Park in August. The scouts will spend a week being billeted up north. Ishulutak said he’s looking forward to showing the northern culture to the scouts. “We’re very relaxed,� he said, adding the pace of life up north is slower. “I find here you need to plan ahead,� added Alivaktuk. “Time isn’t such a problem (up north).� John Dodsworth, a 1st Kanata Scout, said he’s really enjoyed getting to know his billet and is looking forward to the trip to Pangnirtung. “I’ve never been anywhere north,� said Dodsworth, 16. “It’ll be a lot of fun.�

Scout chaperone Peter Dodsworth said the exchange so far has been more than they could have asked. “They’re great kids,� he said. “We can see them bonding. It’s been a really good exchange. “We’re looking forward to ... staying with our billets for a week.� During the week in Panginrtung, the scouts will take part in a fishing trip, a tour of the government buildings in town, a print workshop with a local artist, karaoke, a hike, and a community feast and Inuktituk dance, said Naomi Corder, a chaperone with the Pangnirtung youth. “It’ll probably be different than anything they’ve experienced before,� she said.

The scout group will head up to Auyuittuq in August to hike up and down the Weasel River from Mount Overlord to Summit Lake and back, walk past the base of Mount Thor, the highest vertical drop on earth, cross the Arctic Circle and spend time exploring Pangnirtung. In order to reach the national park the group will fly from Ottawa to Iqaluit, from Iqaluit to Pangnirtung and then hop on a boat from Pangnirtung to Auyuittuq National Park. The scouts will hike through Akshayuk Pass where they will have a chance to see Mount Asgard, the twinpeaked mountain with two flat tops that was used in the opening scene of the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me, and the Penny Ice Cap, a large ice sheet around the size of Prince Edward Island. Ward said he’s really looking forward to the trip. “Just experiencing a different culture and a different way of living,� he said. “I’m just really glad to be a part of it, it’s a once in a lifetime experience.�

White Knight offers to save equestrian park Terry Matthews’ charitable foundation seeks 25-year lease

beginners. “There needs to be somewhere in Ottawa where an adult who has never been on a horse can do so in a safe environment for a reasonable rate,” Sherry said. COMPLETE PACKAGE

Jennifer McIntosh and Nevil Hunt jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - High-tech mogul Terry Matthews wants to ride to the rescue of the Nepean National Equestrian Park. Matthews is proposing an investment of up to $30 million to create Greenbelt Stables, a facility which would include much more than horses. An unsolicited proposal shared with the city and the NCC says Matthews’ own Wesley Clover Foundation could run the equestrian park and adjacent city campground while providing many upgrades. The foundation is seeking a 25-year lease for the site. The proposal comes as current users worry where they will ride if the city goes ahead with plans to close the moneylosing centre as soon as this fall. Possible additions proposed by Wesley Clover include: • The Ian Millar Horsemanship Centre, which would attract high-level equestrian competitions, with the main show ring transformed in a show-jumping stadium with bleacher seats, canvas shelters and some table seating. Concept drawings show covered seating areas that would likely hold more than 2,000 people. • A new home for the royal swans, including an indoor winter habitat with one-way glass so visitors can see the birds up close. • An outdoor recreation area, including space for seven fullsize soccer pitches or a mix of soccer, ultimate, volleyball and football. The site links to the Trans-Canada Trail and the proposal says Greenbelt Stables would rent bicycles, snowshoes and cross-country skis. • A “forest school” to allow kids up to age six to spend time learning in the outdoors. The 100-student school would serve as a national hub for Forest School Canada and the proposal foresees similar schools across the country that the Ottawa site could support by training and certifying teachers. • Gardens that educate visitors about sustainable agriculture, which could be expanded to four hectares in size based on demand. • Space for non-equestrian events, including the National Capital Flower Show, the National Capital Harvest Festival as well as an annual curling competition modeled on the HOPE Volleyball Festival. • Integration of the forested camping area with the equestrian facility. Horse trails would be extended through parts of the campsite. The campground would be operated by Wesley Clover. The Greenbelt Stables’ basic

High-tech mogul Terry Matthews has proposed upgrades to the Nepean National Equestrian park, including a large show-jumping stadium, expanded stables and trails running through nearby forests. aim would be to attract entrylevel riders to the sport. The centre would include a renovated and expanded stables and a viewing area for spectators above the indoor riding arena. A trail riding program is expected to appeal to casual riders and a therapeutic program for people with disabilities would be continued. Seven kilometres of riding trails would be maintained as well as multi-

use, non-riding trails for hiking, running, skiing and snowshoeing. Wesley Clover Foundation vice-president Simon Gwatkin said the park needs to be first and foremost an equestrian facility, but it can offer much more. “It’s a big chunk of land and we felt there was more that could be done to make sure it’s used every day,” he said.

Kris Sherry, a rider who once boarded her horse at the park for 15 years, said she worked with other volunteers and the park’s management seven years ago to save the site. “The same questions were being asked about whether the equestrian business was one the city wanted to be in,” she said, adding the group put together a proposal that would have seen the park operate on

a cost-recovery basis. Sherry said management at the park changed a few years ago and she as prepared to fight for its future this time around. “We were totally blown away,” she said by the lack of notice of the potential closure. She said it would be good to upgrade the park for competitions, but felt that whoever is in charge should continue providing affordable, safe riding for

The proposal by Wesley Clover is detailed, with transportation, parking, drainage and energy all addressed in the 26-page document. The proposal includes green strategies, including a grandstand roof that funnels rainwater to storage tanks and the possibility of heating indoor spaces by burning horse manure. The plans envision parking for roughly 600 cars, expandable for the largest events by using undeveloped fields on the property. The site has poor drainage today, but Wesley Clover proposes expanding a small pond to improve drainage while offering a wintertime skating rink. Gwatkin said the Matthews family has always been supportive of the equestrian community. “We understood that the lease was coming to an end and we went to the people involved to work out what we thought would be the best fit for the space,” he said. NCC spokesman Cedric Pelletier said the commission would like to continue the existing use of the park, which has been leased and operated by the former city of Nepean, and then Ottawa, since 1986. He said future offerings at the park will depend on what businesses and other groups suggest for the site. Pelletier declined comment on the Wesley Clover proposal because the city hasn’t officially terminated its lease. Gwatkin said there may be some other parties interested in the site, but wasn’t aware of any names. With files from Laura Mueller

Strain of Arts Court revamp kills foundation Organization’s financial, human resources unable to adequately manage burden of redevelopment

SERVING KANATA NORTH

Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

City Councillor, Kanata North EMERALD ASH TREES At the last Council meeting an additional million dollars was approved to expand the program to save some of the City’s ash trees. Many of these are in Kanata North and the City has already treated some of the ones that have been chosen as candidates for preservation. Many residents have also arranged to have their trees treated. If you have an ash tree on your property or business it is your responsibility to look after that tree. Information on what to do and a list of licensed operators who can treat the trees is on the City website. I’m pleased that more is being done to save these beautiful shade trees throughout the City but regret that not all can be saved. The trees die from the top down and once the top area has died it is not possible to save it so if you wish to look after your ash trees do it as soon as possible.

EMC entertainment - The Ottawa Arts Court Foundation is folding after a quarter century, just as the facility that houses the cultural organization is about to undergo a major renovation. The Arts Court revitalization project will be a boon for the community, but it’s also what spelled the fate of the organization.

But the group still wants to be involved and has offered to take over the Arts Court Foundation’s other tasks, such as leading the vision for the redevelopment project and administrative duties unrelated to theatre operations. While the shuttering of any arts organization is a loss, Honeywell said he is positive about the future. “Change does happen,” he said. “Sometimes it is time for organizations to move on.” REDEVELOPMENT

The Arts Court redevelopment is on hold for the summer, but money to push the project may be forthcoming, said Coun. Mark Taylor, chairman of the city’s community and protective services committee. The city was set to have a meeting with the federal government earlier this week and Taylor hoped to nail down in writing what the feds have already verbally indicated – they are interested in helping fund the project. Taylor admitted the project is moving a bit slowly, but said the meeting with feds is a good opportunity to push forward. He expects a financial commitment from the federal government to be finalized by the end of the summer. The city has already committed to the renovations last June, with an eye towards reopening the facility in 2014. The city still expects to hit that deadline, Taylor said. In 2010, it was estimated the project would cost $40.5 million.

FUTURE OF THE EQUESTRIAN PARK Although Council has approved the closure of the Equestrian Park there is a silver lining. The Wesley Clover organization (the non-profit and charitable arm of Terry Matthews companies) has submitted a detailed proposal to the National Capital Commission (NCC) that would turn the Park into a world class equestrian and other sports facility. The NCC has indicated that it will seek proposals quickly so I hope that will be done over the next few months so that the new operation will start as the City winds down its operations. Council also agreed to a plan to continue the riding program for students with disabilities until October and will work with all users to find alternative programs.

“The additional responsibilities related to Arts Court’s capital development project, coupled with the burgeoning activity of a growing professional arts community, were more than the OACF’s limited human and financial resources could bear, resulting in the decision to close the organization,” according to a statement the foundation sent out. Still, groups that use the Nicholas Street facility hope that despite the loss of the

foundation, the changes will lead to a renewal for the local arts community. The city will be opening a competitive bidding process to determine who takes over the Arts Court Foundation’s responsibilities, but two groups have already stepped to the forefront: the Ottawa Fringe Festival and the Ottawa Arts Council. Taking over operations at the Arts Court Theatre could make Fringe – an annual 10day marathon of performances – a year-long endeavour, something that excites Ottawa Fringe Festival chairman Ryan Anderson. The organization has rented space at the Arts Court building for 16 years and has a good grasp on the community’s needs, Anderson said. “I think there are opportunities to extend what we do from just a 10-day festival to a year-round thing, where we’re not only just renting a space but we’re helping guide the people that are using it,” he said. Fringe already helps artists who may be unfamiliar with the theatre world with the production and promotion of their festival performances and that is a role that could be useful year-round, Anderson said. The city had directed the Ottawa Arts Court Foundation and the Ottawa Arts Council to look at ways to form a partnership or amalgamate their organizations. Legally bringing the groups together involves much more red tape than it’s worth, including re-registering for charitable status, among other legal hurdles, said Peter Honeywell, the council’s executive direc-

Tories make election-style arbitration reform promise Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Two Tory MPPs made a campaign-style stop in Nepean on July 16 to affirm their desire to fix Ontario’s “broken” arbitration system. Although his party currently doesn’t have power to make the proposed changes, John Yakabuski, MPP for RenfewNippising-Pembroke, said that under a minority Liberal government, his Progressive Conservative party must be prepared for an election at any time. As part of a series of campaign trail-type tours across the province, Yakabuski came to old Nepean city hall – Ben Franklin Place – on July 16 to present his party’s proposal to change the provincial rules for public sector salary arbitration. He said the recent provincial budget failed to address the issue of “ballooning” public sector wages that are on the verge of bankrupting the municipalities that are stuck paying the salaries, Yakabuski said. He said the message the PCs are getting from Ontario mayors is that the province “thumbs its nose” at municipalities and expects them to be

able to raise property taxes to account for large public sector wage increases that have been arbitrated at the provincial level. The new Ontario Labour Relations Act rules proposed by PC leader Tim Hudak’s caucus would require arbitrators to ensure their decisions reflect the fiscal realities of the municipalities the decisions affect, including the cost of living and local budget constraints. The Liberal government did move to increase the speed and transparency of the arbitration process, said Sarah Petrevan, spokeswoman for Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli, but the Tories blocked their efforts. “This is what municipalities asked for and this is what we tried to do … Unfortunately we didn’t get any cooperation from the other parties on this budget initiative,” Petrevan wrote in an email. “The Conservatives decided to vote against the interest arbitration system changes that they campaigned on.” The Liberal budget initiative would have required arbitrators to provide written reasons demonstrating that they have given proper consideration to the statutory criteria, created deadlines for

arbitration decisions and sent unsolved matters straight to the Labour Relations Board if they fail to meet the deadline, Petrevan wrote. Coming out with this proposal after failing to support an almost identical Liberal initiative amounts to “putting political games ahead of the interests of the Ontario public,” Petrevan wrote. Former finance critic and current Tory MPP Norm Miller was also on hand at the July 16 event to deliver an example from near his riding of Parry Sound-Muskoka. In Owen Sound, the cost of the city’s fire service is expected to rise to $4.2 million from $3.7 million last year as a result of retroactive benefits and wage increases awarded by an arbitrator, Miller said. Any city in Ontario could face similar increases under the province’s current arbitration system, Miller said. The PCs have also made promises to balance the budget by reducing the size and cost of government, lower taxes for businesses, reduce the number of provincial regulations by at least a third, prioritize “affordable energy” to create economic growth and modernize the apprenticeship system to create 200,000 new skilled trades jobs.

Laura Mueller

Norm Miller of Parry Sound-Muskoka and John Yakabuski of Renfew-NippisingPembroke – were at old Nepean city hall on July 16 to deliver the Progressive Conservative Party’s message of how it would change the province’s arbitration system if the PCs were in power.

Whitfield chosen as Canadian Olympic flag bearer Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC sports - There was a taste of the expected British pomp and circumstance for the Olympic opening ceremonies in Ottawa on July 12, as Canada’s flag bearer for the London Games was announced alongside the changing of the guard ceremony on Parliament Hill. After the guards lined up directly behind the podium, Kingston-raised triathlete Simon Whitfield was chosen to lead Canada into the opening ceremonies at the 2012 London Olympic Games. “I can’t imagine a more perfect setting,” said chef de mission Mark Tewksbury. “(He) will lead a remarkable team of athletes.” Whitfield will be competing in his fourth Olympic Games and trying for his third medal. He was the athlete that excited Canadians as he ran into the gold medal position of the final stretch of triathlon’s inaugural Olympic year in 2000. Whitfield said that he was overwhelmed and proud when he got the call about a week ago, to tell him he was going to be the flag bearer. He immediately did what he does whenever he’s overwhelmed - go for a run in his current home, Victoria, run-

Simon’s parents, Geoffrey and Linda, and sister Kate, were on hand to witness the

occasion. “In the course of Simon expressing his gift as an athlete, he’s made Canadians proud,” said his dad, Geoffrey. Alan Trivett, executive di-

rector of Triathlon Canada, said that Simon’s 2000 Games gold medal sparked an international growth in triathlon. “Simon Whitfield is the reason our sport is where it is

today,” he said. “He’s a true Olympic role model on and off the playing field.” Speakers also included president of the Canadian Olympic Committee Marcel

Aubut, Bal Gosal, minister of sport, and Denis Lebel, minister of transport. They presented Whitfield with an oversize Canadian flag that hours earlier had flown atop the piece tower. It was a little bit of a struggle to get the large flag properly unfolded, so Whitfield was passed a more appropriately sized flag to give a practice wave. “Unraveling that first flag was a bit of a challenge, so now that I’ve got that blooper moment out of the way, I can do it,” Whitfield said. He isn’t worried about the position affecting his race, which takes place 10 days after the opening ceremonies. As soon as he got the call, Whitfield sat down with his coach and physiotherapist to “come up with own little strategies and plans,” to deal with the position. He’s not worried about it being a distraction. “I’m going with the magic part of it,” he said. “I’ve got the secret weapon the other guys don’t.” And even from the day the announcement was made in Ottawa, Whitfield still hadn’t lost sight of the fact that the Games are only 15 days away. “The moment we leave here, I’ll go and train,” he said.

Kids go off leash at humane society summer camp Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news – Thanks to the new, larger facility in Nepean, the Ottawa Humane Society is able to offer a children’s camp for the first time. The week-long camp sessions allow for up to 25 kids to go “off leash” in the facility and learn a little about the animals and responsible pet ownership. Director of outreach for the humane society, Eileen Barak, said the camp would have never been possible in the old Champagne Avenue facility. “Kids are the future pet owners,” she said. “So it makes sense to teach them what it means to be a responsible pet owner.” The camp, which offers arts and crafts, water activities and a chance to see a minor surgery performed with the parent consent, gives children a close look at the operation of the city’s largest animal shelter. Kids are also able to see how staff does a temperament assessment on a dog to determine the best adoptive home for the animal, although, Barak said the dogs that are assessed in front of the children have already been determined to be of good temperament.

The camp costs $225 per week and will run throughout July and August. Barak said in upcoming years the humane society may look at some kind of subsidy programs for children whose parents aren’t able to pay the full fee. “Right now it’s our first year though and we wanted to learn to walk before we ran,” Barak said. The children’s summer camp is just one piece of the education program at the OHS. Barak said volunteers and their pets also visit schools throughout the city to teach students about responsible pet ownership. She said this year volunteers visited 160 schools in Ottawa and spoke to 3,600 students. In coming years she said she would like to see the presentations translated for the French public and Catholic boards. The city’s four-legged friends are also on hand for a program called Leadership Education for Adolescent Dogs. It’s a program that pairs shelter dogs with children at facilities like the William E. Hay Youth Detention Centre and the Roberts Smarts Centre. The youth train the dogs, providing a positive experience and interaction with ani-

OPENING FOR YOU IN KANATA JULY 26 Jennifer McIntosh

The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority announced level two low water conditions on July 13 due to the extreme heat and lower-than-average precipitation. The announcement asked watershed residents, business and industries throughout the watershed to reduce their water use by 20 per cent.

Dry spell prompts call for conservation Rideau Valley authority asks for 20 per cent water reduction Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Patrick Larson, with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority said July 13 that the precipitation in the forecast will do little to alleviate the dry spell currently gripping the national capital. The conservation authority issued a low water level two conditions advisory, asking residents, business and industry in the watershed to reduce their water use by 20 per cent. Locally this would impact residents in areas such as Heart’s Desire, Honey Gables, Gloucester Glen, Malpe Hill, Quinn Road and Analdea Drive who are on well water systems. Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches issued a statement saying that the city’s drinking water will not be restricted. “I have been advised that drinking water restrictions for residents on the city’s water services would not alleviate the ongoing low-water situation in the areas rivers,” Desroches said in the statement. “The city’s current water demands, while high, are only

slightly over one per cent of the Ottawa River Flow.” Streamflows throughout the Rideau Watershed are well below the average for early July. The Rideau River in Ottawa and the Jock River are now flowing at 22 per cent and three per cent of normal, respectively. Larson said the towns of Perth and Smiths Falls access their drinking water from the watershed and will be advised to reduce consumption. “I know in Perth, there aren’t a lot of lawns being watered right now,” Larson said. Larson said smaller streams have been reduced to pools – which are the only refuge for fish and other aquatic species. Larson said the conservation authority could move the low water conditions to level three as early as a week from the July 13 announcement. The group is meeting on July 20 and could recommend the change to the province at that time. The change in levels could mean higher percentage of conservation and some mandatory – rather than voluntary – measures. “The forecast shows a low probability of rain, and only a few millimeters,” Larson said.

Patrick Larson, senior water resources technician with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, said on July 13 that some anticipated precipitation will do little to ease the dry conditions. “We would need more like 100 mm to start turning things around.” Navigation on the Rideau Canal has yet to be affected by the drought, because the water is drawn off the upstream reservoirs to support downstream needs. Larson did say if the dry weather persists through August, limits to navigation may need to be applied. He said the current conditions are unlike anything he has seen since 2001. “But that year the dry season came later and coincided with the driest time of year – August and September,” he said. “It wasn’t quite like this.” Residents can keep up to date with the conditions by visiting www.rvca.ca.

Children set sail for adventure on Ottawa River Kanata Sailing Club, YMCA offer beginner’s courses for children age 10-14 Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - “Loosen those sails!” The shout carries across the water to the ears of Sam Kuntz, a 12-year-old Glebe boy, who is struggling to steer his sailboat on a path marked by two buoys bobbing in the Ottawa River. Sam tugs on a cord connected to the sail on his Optimist boat, a one-seater used by the Kanata Sailing Club to teach beginners, and corrects the course of his boat. The boy is one of 10 children selected to participate in a one-week pilot program run by the YMCA-YWCA Ottawa and the Kanata Sailing Club, created to teach children ages 10 to 13 how to sail. The sailing club has agreed to hold another one-week learn-to-sail program in August, said Lisa Bottriel, commodore of the Kanata Sailing Club. “It’s full both weeks and there’s a waiting list,” she said. The sailing club purchased 10 Optimist boats, small single-handed sailing dinghys, from the Nepean Sailing Club this year so it could launch the learn-to-sail program, which ran July 9 to 13. “We haven’t had a kids component to the club before,” said Bottriel. “We’re really doing two weeks to see what the impact is on the club and members and our resources.”

So far so good, said Charles Lucas, the program’s sailing instructor. Lucas, a University of Ottawa student who teaches children how to sail during the summer, said his students have really taken to the water. “They seem to be enjoying themselves a lot,” he said. The children learn theory and practical sailing skills, such as steering, rigging and de-rigging a sail as well as basic knot techniques, during the week-long course, running everyday from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. At the end of the course they will earn CANSail 1 certification, the beginners’ learn-to-sail course. The children have already picked up the lingo, said Lucas, learning to turn their craft starboard and port – right and left for landlubbers. On Friday, July 13, Lucas and Stuart Nichols, an assistant sailing instructor, guide their charges out on the river to negotiate a makeshift obstacle course. Lucas and Nichols, who were travelling in a motorboat, drop two anchored buoys to mark the course for the kids. The fledgling sailing students trail behind the motorboat like freshly-hatched goslings, their sails flapping hesitantly in the wind. From time to time the two instructors move the buoys to different locations to mark a shift in the direction of the

The long dry spell in Ottawa has created ideal conditions for sailing, he added. “We’ve had really good weather,” Lucas said. “It’s been windy and it hasn’t been raining.” Dylan Butler, a 10-year-old Nepean boy, said he’s enjoyed learning how to sail. “My dad has a sailboat and he wants me to sail with him,” said Dylan, as he turned his craft, named the Dalek, to starboard.

At the start of the course, the children were allowed to name the optimist boats, coming up with handles such as: The One, Rune, The Argo, The Knotty, The Unknown, The Epic, Da Boss, RKSC Avenger and The Green Machine.

ACORN calls for action on healthier homes Anti-poverty group wants tougher regulations on landlords Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - When Ronny Mosuro moved into her Cedarwood Drive apartment last October, she had a list of promises from her landlord to clean up the unit and rid it of bed bugs and cockroaches. Nearly a year later, the frustrated mother was nearly in tears as she addressed a crowd of protesters outside of Ben Franklin Place on July 11. Ottawa ACORN, an antipoverty advocacy group, met outside of the former Nepean city hall to show pictures of rental units in disrepair to councillors meeting for the last time before the summer break. Mosuro said she moved into an apartment in the east end to save money, but was horrified to learn she would have to deal with insect infestations. “My kids had never even heard of cockroaches or bed bugs,” she said, pointing to an enlarged photo of her son’s arm, pockmarked with bed bug bites. Jack Bogart, who served as the emcee for the protest, called

what tenants living in sub par conditions were dealing with a “psychological assault.” “Living with these kinds of problems deteriorates the health of society’s most vulnerable,” he said. “It is often the working poor paying market rent living in these conditions. It attacks your sense of self worth.” Bogart said 60 per cent of the city’s population pays rent and that council must work to ensure landlords adhere to more stringent health and safety standards. The group would like to see explicit time frames in which landlords have to respond to requests for repairs and maintenance. Bogart said they would also like to see the city’s bylaw officers equipped with a standard work order form that would be available to tenants and enforce explicit time frames for landlords to complete work ordered by the city. According to the Ontario Tenants Rights website, if a landlord doesn’t make repairs after repeated requests, a tenant can put the request in writing and then contact the city’s building inspector. If that still

The group formed a protest to encourage council support of their healthy homes initiative. doesn’t work, they can call for an investigation into the landlord through the investigation and enforcement unit, through the provincial ministry of municipal affairs and housing. But Bogart said there is no enforcement. “The standards we have currently aren’t enough,” he said. Blaine Cameron, who lives

on Mayfield Avenue in Vanier, said he was trapped in his third-floor apartment several times over the last year because of a broken elevator. The anti-poverty advocate is confined to a wheelchair and said the mechanical problems made him miss medical appointments. “No one would communicate when it was going to be

fixed or offer to help me to go get groceries or anything like that,” he said. Cameron said he is moving into a residence in September, but feels for the people that will be left behind in his building. “There’s a lot of people who have no choice,” he said. On top of the issues with the elevator, Cameron said

the accessibility ramp near the entrance to the apartment building was rarely cleared properly in the winter time. If he didn’t complain constantly he would have to rely on passersby to help him inside. “A lot of people don’t feel comfortable enough to complain,” he said, adding that it’s those types of tenants that fall through the cracks.

There are always lessons to be learned in the kitchen

T

hey say that you should never stop learning. Acquiring a new skill or adding to what you already know is supposed to exercise the brain and keep us young. What they don’t say is that it’s often fun to learn something new. And sometimes there’s an added bonus when what you’ve learned makes life easier. I seem to be on a learning curve. On a domestic level, it seems this year most of our kitchen appliances reached the age of 25 plus years and had to be replaced. My stove is digital and I’m beginning to think it may be smarter than me. But the most important thing I’ve learned this summer is not how to use Internet auctions or how to operate a new electronic appliance. Laugh if you like, but I learned how to get the onion smell off my fingers after cutting up onions! Salads, onions. Soups, onions, Stews, onions. If you cook, you know what it’s like to have fingers smelling of onion. The solution is so simple that you won’t believe it until you try it. Take an everyday stainless steel spoon out of your kitchen drawer, hold it under cold running water, and rub your fingers over it as if you were trying to clean the spoon. In

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff less than a minute, the onion odor will be totally gone. I don’t know why, but it works. So now you can go ahead and make this week’s recipe for Veggie Pasta Salad, and you won’t have to live with onion-breath fingers. For this salad, I use the twisted pasta called rotini and I buy the package with three colors of pasta. It makes a change from the usual white pasta salad. VEGGIE PASTA SALAD

2 cups rotini, three-colored 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper 2 slices red onion, chopped 1 cup frozen peas 1 cup (more or less) small broccoli florets 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup bottled coleslaw dressing To minimize the heat in the kitchen, here’s how to cook the pasta. Bring a pot of water to boil, add the pasta, stir it,

then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let it sit on the back of the stove, stirring once or twice, until the pasta is cooked. This takes 20 to 30 minutes. You don’t need the stove element on while the pasta cooks, so you have a cooler kitchen. Now, here’s another shortcut that I’ve discovered. To thaw the frozen peas, measure them into a large sieve or colander. When the pasta is finished cooking, pour the pasta and hot cooking water into the sieve over the peas. Rinse with cold water. Voila! Instant thawed peas. Add the remaining ingredients and refrigerate for an hour to let the flavours blend. This salad has a slightly sweet flavour from the combination of mayonnaise and bottled coleslaw dressing. It’s very tasty. The ingredients can be varied by using other vegetables, but aim for colour as well as flavour. Serves four to six.

Tips for handling fresh produce safely EMC news - There are about 11 million cases of foodborne illness in Canada every year. Handling fresh produce safely reduces the risk. Fresh fruits and vegetables do not naturally contain microorganisms that can make you sick. However, produce can become contaminated while in the field or through improper handling, storage, or transportation. It is important that fresh produce be handled and stored properly to reduce the chances of illness. You can minimize the risk

of foodborne illness by following these safety tips: • Separate: fresh produce can become contaminated when it comes into contact with raw meat, poultry, seafood and their juices. Keep fresh fruits and vegetables separate from raw meat both at the store and at home—in your refrigerator, on cutting boards and countertops. • Clean: before preparing food, always wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, using soap and hot water. Wash fresh fruits and vegetables gently under cool running water.

Those that are usually peeled or cut, like melons, oranges and cucumbers, also need to be washed. Scrub fruits and vegetables that have a firm surface, such as melons, potatoes and carrots. Do not soak anything in a sink full of water, as it can harbour bacteria, which can be transferred to food. You only need to wash produce with water. • Chill: store fresh fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator at 4C or below. All cut fruits and vegetables should not be kept at room temperature for longer than two hours.

String of events leads to corset laces dangling from tree Mary Cook’s Memories take one set out and fling it over the clothes line to “get some fresh air.” And the laces hung down almost touching the ground. “We’ll use binder twine first and then attach the laces to the end. There’s enough laces here to reach half way to Renfrew,” Ronny said, chuckling to himself. Emerson lost his red face instantly. “Aunt Lizzie will kill us,” he said. Ronny paid him no heed. It was the moment that mattered to Ronny. Finally, the kite was ready. With the binder twine and corset laces attached, if they got it airborne, I was sure it would reach the soft clouds that were circling the west hill. I kept a safe distance behind them, but close enough I could see exactly what was going on. Ronny told Emerson to start running. He was holding the kite as high as his arms could reach and Ronny was letting out the binder twine and Aunt Lizzie’s corset laces. And there it soared; farther and farther it reached to the sky. I had to admit it was something to see. The wind was carrying it like a feather. Emerson and Ronny barely moved, letting the air carry the kite and holding tight to the tail. Then, almost as if someone had turned off a switch, the wind died down. Emerson tried to reel in the kite, but it had a mind of its own and headed right for the big maple tree on the crest of the west hill. And there it stayed. The lads gathered the laces and binder twine into a ball and tugged and tugged. It didn’t take more than a few seconds to see the tissue paper rip to shreds. The kite was finished. Emerson and Ronny stood under the tree and looked like they were mesmerized by what they saw before them. “Well, I’ll be darned,” Ronny said. Emerson turned beet red again. There was nothing for them

to do but go back to the house and face the music. Emerson took a big brown penny out of his pocket, and said they would flip to see who would break the news to Aunt Lizzie.

Ronny lost. To say Aunt Lizzie was less than pleased would be an understatement. She raced upstairs and came down with the two corsets, now in four pieces. Father was just coming in from the barn and was told what had happened and Aunt Lizzie said she didn’t care how he did it, but she wanted her laces back before dark. She was sure Father would deal with the two boys “in fitting manner” as she called it.

Well, it took Ronny, Emerson, Father and Everett to carry the big handmade ladder all the way up the west hill to the big maple. I tailed behind. The wind had completely died down and there were the remnants of the kite and Aunt Lizzie’s laces were hanging down from the top limb like a long piece of spaghetti. Father braced the ladder and Emerson scurried up and brought down what was left of the kite. He wrapped the

binder twine and laces around his wrist. I was sure the boys were really in for it. But the most amazing thing happened. Father started to laugh. It came right from his belly. “It’s too bad you didn’t take the whole corset. Why she needs one when she’s as thin as a wood slat is a mystery to me,” he said with tears running down his face. “And if she asks, you can tell her, you’ve been dealt with.”

out. Emerson was dabbing his own face with a handkerchief and they both kept looking up at the sky. It was a hot, humid summer day and a gusty wind was blowing dead leaves and grass in all directions. “If we don’t soon finish, the wind will die down and we’ll be doing all this work for nothing,” Emerson said. A day without a challenge for Ronny and Emerson was a day without purpose. And that day, they were making a kite and time was running out; you couldn’t always count on a good wind. The closest I could get to the activity was leaning against the silo and well out of the range of where Ronny and Emerson were. Mother had reluctantly given up some Christmas tissue paper, and the two boys, had glued it into shape and all that was left was to attach the tail. Emerson got the roll of binder-twine from the drive shed, but Ronny didn’t like the feel of it. “Too rough. We need cord,” he said. “You won’t find cord around here,” Emerson said, taking another swipe at his face with his handkerchief. “Too expensive. We use binder twine for anything that needs tying up.” Ronny said, “You just hold that kite and stop it from blowing away. I’ll be right back.” I noticed he walked slowly, like he had no real purpose, just ambling along. He nodded to Mother, Aunt Lizzie and Audrey in the swing in the grape arbour, where they had gone to escape the heat of the kitchen and then he sauntered into the house. When he came out, a good five minutes later, his shirt had a bulge in it like he was carrying a watermelon under it. He looked behind him, making sure no one had left the shade of the grape arbour and then headed for the barn yard and handed Emerson a wad of cord. As soon as I saw it, I knew exactly where it had come from: Aunt Lizzie’s corsets. Now, Ronny, like everyone else in the house, knew about Aunt Lizzie’s corsets. She had at least two sets and every couple days she’d

Modest growth expected for tourism

Learn rules of the road: cops riding at night and use proper hand signaling when turning and stopping. • Remember to wear a Canadian Standards Association certiďŹ ed helmet (it’s the law for cyclists under the age of 18). • Ride at least one meter from the curb -give pedestrians the right of way -always shoulder check when turning -ride defensively.

Const. Ryan Strotmann Ottawa Police Services

EMC news - Visitors staying overnight in Canada are forecast to rise by a modest 1.8 per cent in 2012 as a result of balanced growth in both domestic and international visits, according to a Conference Board of Canada report. The ’s Travel Markets Outlook report, published twice a year, provides a ďŹ ve-year fore-

cast for the tourism industry. “While we expect continued growth in the number of overnight domestic trips, Canadians’ limited gains in household discretionary income will curtail the average spending per trip,� said Greg Hermus, associate director of the Canadian Tourism Research Institute.

Overnight visits from the United States are expected to edge up by a slight 0.5 per cent in 2012. Led by robust travel from emerging markets and Japan, overseas visits are forecast to grow by about 3.1 per cent in 2012. Overall tourism spending is expected to increase by 3.8

per cent in 2012. Following a sharp rise during 2011, travel prices are expected to post more modest growth of 1.5 per cent in 2012. In Ontario, growth in travel from China and India is expected to offset weakness from Europe, boosting overseas arrivals.

The Ottawa police is reminding cyclists to follow the rules of the road: • Stops at all stop signs and red lights. • Cycle on the right side of the road. • Ride on the road, not the sidewalk. • Use proper lighting when

Equestrian Park uncertainty increases interest in dressage competition Uncertainty over park’s future drives up competition at annual event Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Dressage competitors are geared up for what could be the last Dressage at the Park competition on July 1. The Dressage at the Park competition has been offered at the Nepean National Equestrian Park for more than a decade and raises money annually for the therapeutic riding program at the park. Kris Sherry, one of the competition’s volunteer organizers said the event is meant to provide a venue for people who like to compete, but aren’t quite at the Olympic or world championship level. The closing date for entries was July 4, just a day after the city’s decision to terminate its lease at the park. Sherry said there were 60 entries up until the last couple of days before closing and then she received 25 faxes on July 3. “We will have something like 153 horses this time around,” Sherry said, adding that organizers had to add a fourth ring and another judge to compensate for the increase registration. The Wesley Clover Foun-

dation has submitted an unsolicited proposal for the park that would see a new a new horsemanship centre to host high-level equestrian competitions. Sherry said she is glad to see that there is some interest in the park, but isn’t sure what the annual competition’s role would be in a new facility. “We raise money for saddle cushions, tack and other supplies for the therapeutic riding program. If we aren’t raising money for that, I am not sure why we would hold the competition,” she said. Sherry said she’s not sure if the new owners would allow the competition to take place at the park and there is no other facility in the city that could accommodate more than two rings. “We may be able to have a smaller competition somewhere else,” she said. The park’s future as a cityoperated facility was questioned seven years ago and was given a reprieve with the direction that it needed to operate on a cost-recovery basis. Bay Coun. Mark Taylor said national competitions do offer economic benefit to the city, but two of the major shows that used to come

They get to enjoy the great-outdoors without the effort or expense of packing-up and trekking to a far-off camping destination,� said Marcelle Kimberley, a cultural planner for Pinhey’s Point Historic Site. “We offer unique and fun ways kids can explore the natural world around them, while providing parents with the luxury of being able to have

their youngster’s home before bedtime!� A new program this year is Heritage Apprentices, where children can spend the afternoon discovering trades and crafts from the past. Skills like leatherwork and soap making will be explored every Thursday throughout the summer. Participants will practice each trade with a project, like beeswax candles or woven bracelets to take home. This program runs every Thursday in July from 1 to 3 p.m. at a cost of $6 per child. “We are excited to be providing this event to local kids.

We know concepts such as artisan crafting and ‘going local’ are trending right now,â€? Kimberley said. “The Heritage Apprentices event series are not only teaching the kids how to make heritage crafts, but that traditional trades people were once the backbone of rural Ottawa Valley communities.â€? She said this program is unique because “there is a deeper signiďŹ cance to this event series than the typical weekly fun-in-the-sun-event but we offer those, too.â€?

Knights set to host lacrosse tournament Nepean Knights

The Nepean Knights Minor Lacrosse Association is gearing up to host its 16thannual competitive box lacrosse tournament from July 19-22. The tournament draws teams from across Ontario and Quebec, from as far away as Sudbury, Milton, Oakville, Brampton and Orillia. Local teams from Nepean and Gloucester will also take part. Fifty-six teams will compete at six different levels,

from tykes, ages seven to eight, up to intermediates, ages 17 to 19. The tournament will take place at Ottawa-area arenas. The Nepean tournament always draws a high number of teams because it takes place two weeks before the Ontario lacrosse provincial championships in Durham Region. The Nepean tournament leads up to the season-ending provincials. Many teams also travel to Ottawa to compete versus teams such as Nepean,

Gloucester, Kahnawake, Akwesasne and Cornwall – teams they might face at the provincials but don’t get to see much of at tournaments in southern Ontario. “The Nation’s Capital is a draw for families travelling from other parts of the province,� said Darren O’Connell, president of the Knights. “Ottawa is a great destination for sporting and cultural events. Plus the lacrosse action is fast-paced and exciting. I wish all competitors the best at our tournament and encourage local sports

fans, or those just curious to know more about our national summer sport of lacrosse, to come out and watch the games.�

Fire safety important during dry conditions Ottawa Fire Services

Ottawa Fire Services is calling on the community to be cautious when throwing out lit cigarettes or matches, which could result in bush or grass fires due to the dry spell the region is experiencing. By disposing of cigarette butts and matches in appropriate containers, residents can help prevent fires. Do not throw them onto the side of the road, in a flower bed or near other combustibles such as decks, garbage or fences. A single cigarette thrown onto the side of the road can cause a large grass or brush fire. Ottawa Fire Services has had numerous calls over the past few weeks for smouldering mulch at homes and businesses, all caused by improperly discarded cigarette butts. Residents need to be cognizant of their actions, especially during this extremely dry period. Hot and dry conditions across the Ottawa area have also increased the risk of fires from barbecues and grills. Residents should be extra cautious when cooking outdoors and ensure that any fire and all smouldering materials are completely extinguished with water before leaving the area. BARBECUE SAFETY

• Have a garden hose, fire extinguisher or buckets of wa-

ter at the ready. • Barbecues and grills should be a minimum of three metres away from your home. • Make sure your grill or barbecue is level and away from overhanging branches, grass, hedges, fences, sheds and other dry or flammable areas and materials. Also keep children and pets at least one metre away. • Keep all matches and lighters away from children. Do not use matches and lighters near dry grass and wooded areas. • Never grill under a tent, canopy or in a garage. • Never leave the grill unattended. • Never use gas or paraffin to start or revive your barbecue - use only recognized lighters or starter fuel on cold coals. • Never light a barbecue on, or over, dry or dead grass or vegetation. • Allow coals to burn out completely and let ashes cool at least 48 hours before disposal. • Dispose of cold ashes by wrapping in heavy-duty aluminum foil and placing in a non-combustible container. Be sure no other combustible materials are nearby. If an outdoor fire occurs, call 911 immediately. Move people from the area and try to safely extinguish small fires with a water hose or buckets of water if able.

Ottawa River water levels head for low marks EMC news - For the start of the summer season, water levels and flows are well below average on the main stem of the Ottawa River from Pembroke down to the Montreal region. Below normal precipitation during the past three months combined with the earliest spring freshet on record are the main reasons for below average water levels and flows throughout the Ottawa River watershed. Although absolute record low flows have not yet been reached, record low flows have been observed on most of the main tributaries of the

Ottawa River for this time of the year. Water from northern reservoirs is currently being used to help alleviate the low flow conditions. Without significant rainfall, levels and flows on the main stem of the Ottawa River will continue to remain below normal. Residents in Ottawa can obtain current information on Ottawa River levels by calling 819-994-7079 or visiting www.ottawariver.ca.

EMC news - Ottawa has continued to sustain healthy year-over-year price appreciation for all housing types, according to a survey released last week. The Royal LePage House Price Survey and Market Survey Forecast showed prices for standard two-storey homes increased 5.5 per cent yearover-year to $392,000, while detached bungalows increased 4.9 per cent to $388,917. Standard condominiums rose 5.8 per cent to $259,667. “Ottawa has a healthy local economy due to government employment and a thriving technology sector,” said John Rogan, broker and manager of Royal LePage Performance Realty. “Despite the health of the local real estate market, Ottawa has witnessed several years of strong price appreciation and eventually the market has to wait until wages catchup.” Royal LePage forecasts that the average home price in Ottawa will increase by 3.5 per

cent in 2012. Rogan said the continuation of expected low interest rates and the recent increase in inventory will be a good opportunity for buyers. Nationally, in the second quarter, standard two-storey homes rose 4.7 per cent yearover-year to $408,423, while detached bungalows increased 5.5 per cent to $376,311. Average prices for standard condominiums increased 3.3 per cent to $245,825. During this period, signs from across the country clearly indicated that the national housing market was at a turning point, with some major regions continuing to grow unabated while others peaked and began to pull back for the first time in three years. The first-time buyer segment of the population, which represents up to half or all transactions and where activity strongly correlates to low interest rates, is expected to be slowed by recent regulatory changes that will reduce access to insured mortgages.

Urban adventure challenges ‘chasers’ through Ottawa EMC news - City Chase, the world’s largest urban adventure series, has embarked on a four-month odyssey of adventure and adrenalinepumping challenges for over 10,000 Canadians across the country. The midway point of Laughter, Adventure and Discovery is in Ottawa on Saturday, July 21, and will kick off at Ottawa city hall at 10 a.m. In City Chase, teams of two must find and complete challenges hidden throughout Ottawa based on clues they will receive. Chasers begin at city hall and will do more in six hours than most people would all summer. “City Chase is designed to push people out of their comfort zone, showcase the city, its history and culture,� said

Dave Nash, vice-president of the group that created City Chase. “We design challenges based on four principles: physically demanding, mentally taxing, laughter-inducing or just plain jaw-dropping,� he said. This year chasers will be looking forward to competing against over 1,200 other chasers. The winning team from each regional event will compete in the 2012 City Chase Canadian Championships in Whitehorse, Yukon, where they will endure over 40 hours of grueling competition. This year’s grand prize is a two-week trip to Tanzania including Kilimanjaro and the Serengeti. The Ottawa Chase-Day starts with check in at Ottawa city hall from 7:45 to 9 a.m.

Venerable Sam Rath joined 10 monks for a United Contribution Ceremony at the Cambodian Buddhist Temple in Stittsville on Sunday, July 15.

Monks hold special ceremony john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Ten monks joined Venerable Sam Rath at the Cambodian Buddhist Temple in Stittsville for a United Contribution Ceremony on Sunday, July 15. Over 100 attended the ceremony, which was held under a collection of tents set up behind the temple on Hazeldean Road. The highlight of the event was the presentation of food and gifts to the 10 monks in attendance who sat together on one side of the gathering. The presentation took place following formal remarks made by Rath, the monk in charge of the Cambodian Buddhist temple, a meditation session led by Bhante Kovida, and a number of readings from Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri. Rath led an initial meditation session, with those in attendance chanting in uni-

son. This is a regular feature of Buddhist religious gatherings, showing respect to Buddha and the community of Buddhist monks, especially those who have passed away. This chanting is meant to highlight the sacredness of daily life, something found in doing the right thing, resulting in a feeling of happiness. Kovida, who has specialized in using the Buddha’s teaching to overcome mental and emotional suffering, also led a meditation session. Meditation trains a person to be more patient and calm, resulting in less anxiety and suffering, he said. Kovida ended the session with a series of wishes ranging from personal ones to those for all beings. “May my family be well, happy and peaceful,� he said. Several readings followed, read in both Cambodian and English and accom-

He said that the ceremony had three purposes: honouring the Khmer ancestors and compatriots who were killed during the Pol Pot regime from 1975-79 as well as the stampede victims at Koh Pich, Cambodia, in November 2010; and honouring Rath’s personal ancestors. Qadri, who attended the opening of this Cambodian Buddhist Temple back in 2006, praised the temple’s congregation for working to build a better community through individual improvement. He noted they were part of the mosaic that is now not only part of Ottawa society but also Canadian society.

The child welfare system receives plenty of attention from the media; and rightly so. As a publicly funded organization serving a vulnerable population, we understand that members of the public have an interest in knowing how we use our resources to keep the children of their community safe. Child welfare agencies understand the importance of transparency and the need to publicly account for their practices. At the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa when we receive a media inquiry, we actively engage the media and avoid “no commentâ€? statements. We welcome the opportunity to provide information that puts issues into context and inform the public on our practices in general terms. Where we do draw the line however, is in discussing individual cases. The Child and Family Services Act prevents us from making case information public and disclosing identifying information about the children and families we serve. Beyond these legislative requirements, it is also our strong belief that children and youth have a fundamental right to privacy even though adults in their lives may at times decide to bring their family issues out in the open through various media. We know from experience what impact a simple mention about a child and his or her family in the media can have in the immediate or in the future, especially when such information attracts unwanted exposure or interest within the different circles that the child frequents, such as school, sports‌ Children who have been impacted by abuse or neglect should be left, as much as possible, to ďŹ nd their way to be at peace with the traumatic events they have experienced with the support of those they chose to include in their lives and without the external pressures that may come from being exposed to the public eye. Media and the internet may at times present a unique challenge in this respect. Here at the CAS, it is essential to the nature of our work that families and children who need our services, now or in the future, be conďŹ dent that we will not discuss their particular circumstances in any public arena.

Carp Farmers’ Market celebrates 22nd year under sunny skies Theresa Fritz theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC news – Twenty-two years ago, the idea of a farmers’ market offering fresh and locally grown products was a novelty in Carp. Today, the Carp Farmers Market is the largest producer/grower market in eastern Ontario and continues to increase in popularity, according to Mayor Jim Watson. The market’s rich and proud history was celebrated Saturday as its 22nd birthday was observed. It was on June 23, 1990, when the market opened to an enthusiastic crowd of 1,000. It was started by the late Hildegarde Anderson, who was an active resident of Carp. She had fond memories of the success of farmers’ markets in her native province of Saskatchewan and believed it could succeed locally. Market president Bob Dobson welcomed the public and a number of dignitaries to the celebration including Watson, Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren, West

food vendors, Dobson noted he market also has a number of artists and artisans as well. “As you know, it is a nice mix between crafts, arts and farmers ‌ about a 70/30 split, about 70 per cent food vendors,â€? Dobson said. Watson, who pledged to return to the market again this summer, spoke about enjoying Hobbs’ butter tarts and the bacon on a bun that is served at the market. “There are some great traditions. I love coming to the Carp Farmers’ Market,â€? Watson told those assembled for the small ceremony. “You should be very, very proud.â€? The mayor thanked everyone for supporting local farmers, whom he noted are “going through some rough timesâ€? due to the ongoing drought conditions. “Anything we can do to help those farmers sell their produce and get the word out that there is still lots of good (food) produced in eastern Ontario, please do so,â€? the mayor urged. MacLaren recalled how he was an early vendor at the market. “I am a farmer. I have beef cattle and we use to sell beef here and we did that for seven or eight years. I was on the board of directors,â€? MacLaren said, adding he was recruited for the board by Hildegarde Anderson herself. “It was her that defined the best way and the only true way we would be a long-term sustainable market was to be a producer based market. What that means is when you buy food here; you are always being it from the farmer, the gardener or the baker who produced that food.â€? He said this is what has made the market so special and so successful for so many years. “Now it is almost like an institution in the Ottawa valley. It is a proud time for me to be able to say I was part of the Carp Farmers’ Market, I was a vendor here in the early years, that I was on the board and helped Hildegarde Anderson to create what I believe is the finest farmers’ market in the province of Ontario‌good food is always a pleasure.â€? El-Chantiry spoke about how the Carp market “gave birthâ€? to the Lansdowne Farmers’ Market. “Well done to the Carp folks who brought their experience from here,â€? he said. Moving away from the topic at hand, he spoke to the drought conditions in West Carleton and urged smokers not to throw cigarette buts out of car windows as it won’t take much to start a fire. Wilkinson, enjoying bacon on bun during her speech, called the market a “great facilityâ€? for everyone in the west end of Ottawa. “That is what we are trying to encourage people to use locally-grown food, and to make sure we have locally grown food when we need it and secondly, it really helps the economy of farmers in the community,â€? she said.

Some like it hot at art gallery John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - The Goulbourn Recreation Complex is air conditioned on these warm summer days but its walls are hot. That’s because the Ottawa West Arts Association (OWAA) has launched its two-month long exhibit Did You Say HOT at the OWAA gallery, located on two walls in the foyer area of the recreation complex. And these 32 hot pieces of art on display depict some idyllic summertime scenes but much more, including some unique, creative works. What art exhibit that deals with summertime heat would be complete without a beach scene and Linda Bordage’s Walking in the Waves showing a young child entering the surf at a beach fits this bill. Or, if the beach is not your thing and you want a more idyllic summer scene, Alain Bernard’s Juilllet en ville, an oil painting showing a tree-lined promenade with people just sitting in its shade, enjoying the tranquility, could be just what brings forth your summertime memories. Sheila Murphy goes far afield with her acrylic, Tuscany Summer, showing a three-storey Italian building with the countryside in the distance. Other summertime scenes jumping from the OWAA gallery walls include Gerald Smith’s oil on canvass entitled Flood Tide, Bay of Fundy,

showing a prominent red marine buoy with seven sea gulls flying past in unison, and Louise Barker’s oil Down Iceberg Alley, capturing giant icebergs floating in the background with a settlement of colourful Newfoundland houses in the foreground. Closer to home, Jan Innis’ oil on canvas entitled By the River – Andrew Haydon Park transports the beauty and serenity of Andrew Haydon Park on the Ottawa River in Nepean to the OWAA gallery. This art shows sailboats moored, a rocky shoreline, the calm river waters and a lighthouse in the distance. Ana Maria Rutenberg’s watercolour My Garden depicts the serenity and calmness found in a garden. But if you think this exhibit is only a collection of these more traditional, serene summertime scenes, you are in for a surprise. Nothing could be more unconventional and eerie in a way than Bruce Grinstead’s oil entitled Hovenweep, which shows a skeleton in silhouette, surrounded by red. It just cries out “hot.” But this is not the only piece featuring the silhouette in this exhibit. Inge J. Whelan’s acrylic Savannah Sunset shows two elephants in silhouette under a solitary African tree, with a red glow in the background. Vera Van Baaren’s Some Like It Hot acrylic focuses on a two-limbed tree trunk, stand-

ing in a background of red. In the Heat of Summer, Sylvie Sabourin’s photograph, uses a red background while grabbing the eye with a central black thistle. Gisele Rivest Aubrey’s faux stained glass work Sizzling Energy Mandala, found in the main display case at the gallery, depicts a yellow starburst – a real eye catcher. A somewhat quirky entry in this exhibit is Mike Goguen’s oil on canvass entitled The Flood which shows an air ship floating above a flooded world, with an arching rainbow adding to the scene. Preston Zaborowski’s acrylic on canvas Nopales is an eye grabber if there ever was one. It is among the first works seen in this exhibit upon entering the GRC and you can’t miss it, not only because of its location but also because of its appeal. A large painting with a white background, it features 21 images of different sizes and shapes and colours, all set in an irregular pattern in the painting. He has a real winner in this simple abstract creation. But the exhibit has even more, including three figured wood sculptures by Norman Pirollo and mixed media creations by Victoria Murphy and by Kat McClure. All of the works on display in this Did You Say HOT exhibit are for sale. This exhibit will be at the gallery at the GRC through to Saturday, Sept. 8.

Outdoor production of Henry V tours Ottawa parks John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Tennis balls, puppets and an ubiquitous box. Accompanied by tartan shorts and the language of Shakespeare, these elements came together in A Company of Fools’ presentation of Henry V under the giant pines of Alexander Grove in Stittsville on July 4. The outdoor production attracted a crowd of 175 people, who watched the action unfold on a stage featuring a backdrop, several risers and a casket-like box which took on different functions throughout the play. But let’s get to the yellow tennis balls. They made their ďŹ rst appearance early on, ying out of the box, insulting King Henry V as the reply from the French dauphin to Henry V’s claim on the throne of French. But this initial appearance was nothing compared to the role of these balls later in the play when Henry V’s troops were battling the French in a critical battle. The tennis balls were distributed throughout the audience and, with Henry V himself – or should it be herself, since the role was played by Margo MacDonald – standing amidst the crowd, the com-

John Curry

A Company of Fools performs Shakespeare’s Henry V at Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville on July 4. mand was given to toss the tennis balls at the stage where the French soldiers stood. The resulting shower of tennis balls on the stage area,

from all corners of the audience, gave the English victory – oh, the power of these little yellow balls. Tennis balls, though, were

not the only prop in this Shakespearean play which the great bard himself clearly could not foresee. The one-and-a-half hour

play also featured the appearance of several puppets besides the ďŹ ve human actors, all wearing tartan plaid shorts, who adopted numerous roles in the play. Simon Bradshaw, for instance, played the roles of Montjoy, Bardolph, Boy, Governor, Katherine, Bates and Cambridge. Margo MacDonald played only the role of King Henry V, Kelly Rigole was Westmorland, Pistol, MacMorris, Orleans and Burgundy while Katie Ryerson played the roles of Nym, dauphin, Gower, Williams and Scrope. Virginia West, for her part, was Canterbury, Roi, Fluellen, Alice, Erpingham and Grey. The cast was kept busy rushing on and off stage, assuming these different parts. But more characters were needed and puppets ďŹ lled these roles – they even took represented the French defenders who were bombarded by the onslaught of tennis balls in that fateful deciding battle. It was the box, never far from prominence on the risers, that played a key role in this production.At times actors waved a blanket over the box to represent the waves of the English Channel and later propped the box upright so its stonework bottom could represent a walled French city. It was also used by King Henry

V to deliver a soliloquy. It even served as a stable, with French soldiers pulling their horses out of it – granted, these were two horse heads on broomsticks, an equine representation of the most rudimentary form, but it worked, just like the puppets and the tennis balls. It was believable. And when the English had won the battle, albeit with thousands of French dead (it must have been that onslaught of tennis balls), there was some lamenting of the horrors of war and the “royal fellowship of death� which comes from such actions. The play does not end on this note of battle and death but rather on one of love. Henry V is taken with the French princess Katherine and woos her, telling her that she has witchcraft in her lips. The play ends with their union. 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. The play will be presented at Walter Baker Park in Kanata on July 18, starting at 7 p.m. Admission is free but a pass-the-hat process allows audience members to give what they want, with $15 as the suggested donation.

Nortel retiree turns to a new career in painting Kanata Art Club member shows colourful side at new Stittsville exhibit Portraits take longer to finish than florals as they require a greater degree of accuracy, said Wiegand. People who commission portraits expect an almost photographic reproduction of the face, which requires attention to detail and accuracy, said Wiegand. Wiegand said she would eventually like to have her art displayed in a gallery in downtown Ottawa so that she could concentrate solely on painting and not have to worry about marketing and sales. She currently has her art on display at the Foyer Gallery at the Nepean Sportsplex which is a juried gallery. This is the first time that her art has been selected after two previous unsuccessful attempts. Wiegand is a member of the Nepean Fine Arts League and the Ottawa West Arts Association. Her work is also on display at the Homestead Gallery near Kemptville and the Artworks Gallery in Merrickville.

Blood donations needed usually means more car accidents on roadways. Every donor who books and keeps an appointment this summer will provide the additional supply of blood products needed for hospital patients. “We need over 500 appointments in Ottawa booked this summer to keep up with hospital demand, and patients are counting on more people to become blood donors,” said Anne Campbell, director of donor and clinic services. “If you haven’t made one, please

book one today.” More reasons why it’s important to book and keep your blood donation appointment this summer: • Currently, only 60 per cent of blood donors honour their appointments. • Road traffic injuries are the second leading cause of death for young people aged five to 25. Please visit www.blood.ca or call 1 888 2 DONATE (1888-236-6283) to book an appointment to donate today.

Canadian Blood Services needs 4,300 more donors to book an appointment and donate blood before Aug. 6. Area residents are urged to help top-up the blood supply at their local blood donor clinic before heading off on their summer travels. Most often, it takes more than one donor’s unit of blood to save a patient’s life. A single car accident victim may require 50 units of blood and blood products to survive injuries.

EMC news – When Donna Wiegand retired from her 30-year career at Nortel, she knew she needed to do something and so she turned to art. “I started painting,” she said of her decision 12 years ago. Wiegand, a member of the Kanata Art Club, started out doing landscapes since they seemed easier, but now focuses her time painting florals and portraits. But her florals are not typical. She herself admitted they are big and outrageous. An example of her floral style can be found in the new exhibit Did You Say HOT that is now on display at the Ottawa West Arts Association (OWAA) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville. It is a giant orange poppy that bursts off the wall. Wiegand said that she tries

to paint four or five days a week, with sessions ranging from two to six hours. She admits that while she paints frequently, she does not paint quickly, terming her painting a long, slow process. But it is a process that she enjoys. “It’s just a wonderful relaxing, meditative process almost,” she said. While she has taken watercolour sessions and has dabbled with acrylics, she prefers painting with oils. Other mediums do not offer the same satisfaction, said Wiegand, noting that oil has a textile feel to it and also allows her to blend colours, something which neither watercolours or acrylics allows her to do. Wiegand said she would like to do more portrait work and generally sell more paintings. At present her art generally pays for her art classes and supplies only. She takes commission work, either for her florals or for portraits.

Mobile response hits streets Police, hospital team up to assist with mental health issues EMC news – People dealing with mental health issues will get the help they need more rapidly when they come in contact with police as a new pilot project gets underway. The program teams University of Ottawa psychiatry residents or an Ottawa Hospital staff psychiatrist with the Ottawa police department’s mental

health unit to work up to three afternoon shifts a week in the downtown core. The program has been running since July 3. “This team responds to mental health related calls,� said Staff Sgt. Dana Reynolds. “It allows the psychiatrist to access all medical history on site, provide a quick assessment and decide whether an apprehension is warranted or to provide appropriate follow up services to the person at the scene.� It is estimated that one in 20 police dispatches or encounters involve people with men-

tal health related issues. By working together, the hospital and police are trying to make the response to mental health calls more positive for the individual. Studies on the subject of mental health and policing recommend enhanced training of police officers as an element of the strategy to improve service to persons who appear to be suffering from a mental illness. More than 90 Ottawa police front line patrol officers have been given this specialized training since 2010.

Rector continues protest of asbestos exports John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news – Rev. Michel Dubord had trouble celebrating Canada Day this year. The rector at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Richmond said he’s still proud of his country and all that it stands for except for Canada’s policy of exporting cancercausing asbestos to developing countries. The policy is contrary to the kind of principled actions Canada’s is known for on the international stage, he said. The situation was only accentuated when the Quebec provincial government announced just before the Canada Day weekend a $58-million loan to cover much of the cost of renovating and reopening the Jeffrey Mine in Asbestos, Que., which will allow asbestos production to continue for another couple of decades, said Dubord. Starting last April, Dubord has held silent vigils protesting Canada’s export of asbestos throughout Ottawa, including places in Kanata. VIGIL

On July 4 the reverend stood in silent protest on the corner of Old Richmond and West Hunt Club roads, waving a sign urging the end of asbes-

tos exports. He was accompanied by Gary Miller and Barbara Martin, who have joined him virtually every one of his protests. Dubord said he thinks the protest are making a difference even if it is only in bringing the issue to the attention of a few of the hundreds of passing motorists at each Wednesday protest. After a vacation break, Dubord plans to return to the same location on July 25. After that, the plan is for these 5 p.m. Wednesday protests to be held in Stittsville in August and in Richmond in September. Dubord, who has undertaken this protest action on his own accord and not in his role as a rector, said he sees the matter quite simply. Asbestos is not used in Canada because of its documented health issues, namely that it causes cancer. Dubord had taken his concerns to the Anglican diocese, which is currently considering what approach it will take on the issue. But Dubord said he doesn’t know what this will be or if it will even happen. Dubord said he doesn’t blame the people of the Asbestos-area in Quebec for working in the industry. After all, it means jobs and a livelihood for them, he said.

Maintaining an hour-long silent vigil at the intersection of Old Richmond Road and West Hunt Club Road on July 4 as they protest the export of asbestos from Canada to developing countries are, from left, Barbara Martin, Richard Martin (behind Barbara), Gary Miller and Rev. Michel Dubord. But the government should come up with alternative employment strategies to offset the shutdown of the asbestos industry, said Dubord. Those who support the export of asbestos to developing countries claim that asbestos

can be used safely if it is handled properly. But those opposed to the export of asbestos question this. The World Health Organization, for example, estimated that asbestos-related diseases, including certain forms of lung

cancer, kill more than 90,000 people around the world every year. In Canada, asbestos use is not banned, but because of its known health risks, Canadians simply do not use it, said Dubord.

But despite these known health hazards, Canada exports thousands of tons of asbestos each year to countries like India, Thailand and Indonesia. Most of this Canadian asbestos is shipped overseas as loose fibre in bags. Workers in these countries then dump these bags of asbestos by hand, creating clouds of carcinogenic dust swirling around them, he said. Rev. Dubord said that exposure to asbestos will cause health problems, perhaps not today but certainly down the road as the asbestos fibres penetrate the lungs of its handlers and start causing respiratory and cancer problems and eventually a prolonged death. Chrysotile asbestos is mined in Quebec and exported to developing countries with the support of the current Canadian government. Asbestos ends up killing since it sheds tiny dust fibres continuously. Once inhaled, these fibres become tangled with lung tissues where they cause cancer, typically lung cancer, asbestosis and mesothelioma. The federal government supports the continuing mining and exporting of asbestos in Quebec.
