EMC News – The first-ever principal at Saint-Rémi French Catholic elementary school has a surprise waiting for her students when they arrive at the newly-built Kanata Lakes school next week. Several of them in fact. Eugénie Congi keeps a basket of toys, notebooks and other treats in a “surprise basket” tucked away in a corner of her office. From time to time over the course of the school year, Congi will dip into the basket to reward students who exhibit good behaviour. “It’s to help them remember when you make an effort to do better, you get rewarded,” said Congi. “It’s the little things that mean a lot.” Other rewards are less tangible, she added, and could involve a chance to sit in the principal’s chair or job-shadow her for a few hours. Congi has been a busy woman over the past few weeks preparing for her school’s opening on Tuesday, Aug. 28. The halls of the school have been a bustle of activity, with workers carrying boxes of books, desks and supplies into classrooms. See SAINT-RÉMI, page 12

Bike patrols keep tabs on pathway Jessica Cunha

EMC news - It took a moment for the shock to register on their faces. Three male youths were lounging in the Hazeldean Woods preparing to fire Airsoft guns into the bushes when our bike patrol came upon them. They weren’t expecting to see a police presence in the woods, so far from the roads. The contingent was composed of
community police centre (CPC) Const. Ryan Strotmann, CPC volunteer Vic McNabney, three Youth in Policing Initiative members – Brenda Lam, Ankun Fang and Michael Mathewsie – and this reporter. “Did you know it’s illegal?” Strotmann asked the youth with the pellet guns. “No,” said one of the teens, sounding surprised. He said he’d looked up the laws on the provincial website, but neglected to check municipal laws.

“You can’t go out into public places shooting your Airsoft gun or pellet gun or paintball gun,” said Strotmann. There’s a bylaw in place that forbids people from shooting any type of firearm within certain areas, including public forests. People use the Hazeldean Woods to walk their dogs and exercise. As it was, a man and his dog walked past our group while Strotmann was taking the teens’ information. See BIKE, page 6

Maintenance work on the clay liner of Young’s Pond in Katimavik is set to begin on Aug. 27.

Work to take place at Young’s Pond

EMC news - Some work will be taking place at Young’s Pond in Katimavik set to start on Aug. 27. The work includes dredging the bottom of the pond and checking the liner for damage. “Basically what we’re going to do is dredge in the middle, take out some of the earth, so we can confirm if the liner has been damaged or
not,” said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley. “Some of those large weeds that are in the pond, the roots may have gone into the liner.” He said the inspection should take about a week. This is the first phase of upgrades that are slated for the park. “If the damage is too extensive then we have to reevaluate the whole project,” he said, adding the hope is that there is no damage or if there is, that it can be repaired easily. “I would like to restore fish
to that property, to make it a very unique experience in a suburban area.” If the liner needs to be fixed, the work won’t take place until the fall or spring so it won’t interfere with the peak user times of the pond and park area, said Hubley. After the report on the liner comes in, “we’ll be ready to have a public meeting that I will hold with interested residents on what we will do with that pond going forward,” said Hubley.

Had the youth been shooting off rounds, the man or his dog could have gotten in the line of fire. “They can cause some damage,” said Strotmann of the Airsoft pellets. A black duffle bag belonging to one of the youth yielded another four Airsoft guns after Strotmann searched its contents. Then he called the parents. “We’re just on bike patrol here in Kanata south and we found some boys with Airsoft guns,” he said to one parent. “They can’t be shooting that stuff in city limits.” The parent agreed to meet Strotmann in the woods and take the guns into his custody. While we were waiting for the parent, another three teenagers joined the party, bringing an Airsoft rifle with them. “Are they with you?” Strotmann asked the first group of teens. “Yeah,” said one. “Bad timing,” said another. The youths weren’t charged but all were given formal warnings.

BIKE PATROL
Bike patrols help officers monitor places the patrol cars can’t get into, said McNabney, who’s been a volunteer with the Kanata-Stittsville CPC for a number of years. “They don’t seem to think we’re on ATVs and bikes and snow mobiles in the winter,” said Strotmann, who added he usually finds people taking part in illegal activities during his bike patrols. In early August he found youths smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol in the woods. “That’s commonplace,” said Strotmann. And the problem with people shooting Airsoft guns in the woods is that if an officer comes upon that scene, they only have a fraction of time to react and they may not notice the little orange tip. “In a split second I’m going to think that gun is real,” said Strotmann. “I’d be pulling mine out and it’s not a good scene. “You have to use your heads, people.” SAFETY
Aside from tracking down illegal activity, bike patrols also give the police a chance to “flash the colours,” said Strotmann. He handed out bicycle safety information and reminded riders that it’s mandatory for people under the age of 18 to wear a helmet. During the hour and a half bike patrol through south Kanata, the group stopped and chatted with children and youth about the importance of bicycle safety. Bicycles are vehicles, and have the same rights and duties as motorists, which include: • Stopping at all stop signs and red lights. • Cycling on the right side of the road. • Riding on the road, not the sidewalk. • Using proper lighting when riding at night. • Using proper hand signals when turning and stopping. • Wearing a helmet – it’s the law for cyclists under 18. • Being predictable in traffic, riding in a straight line. • Riding at least one metre from the curb. • Giving pedestrians the right of way. • Shoulder checking when turning. • Riding defensively. In Glen Cairn, the group stopped to chat with children at a day camp. The kids embraced the opportunity to try and shoot a few soccer balls past Strotmann. It gives them a chance to see police in a fun and friendly light, he said.

EMC news - Students are gaining valuable experience working with police officers over the summer months. Three students conducted a bike patrol with Kanata-Stittsville community police officer Const. Ryan Strotmann on Thursday, Aug. 16. All were part of the Youth in Policing Initiative (YIPI), a summer employment program for students ages 14-17. Bridlewood resident Ankun Fang, 17, said he’s learned a lot over the eight-week program. His goal is to work in policing once he finishes school. “It’s awesome,” said the Earl of March Secondary School student of the program. “You’re working with the police.” Michael Mathewsie, 17, of Barrhaven, said he hopes to become an RCMP officer. “For me, (I’m doing this for) the recommendations and the references, to build my leadership skills” said the Mother Theresa High School student. Bell high school student and Bridlewood resident Brenda Lam, 17, said the training offers participants a “vibe” of what policing is on a day-to-day basis. “We had a lot of training, too,” she said. Aside from being paid, students also receive two co-op credits for high school. Strotmann has been participating in the program for three years. The students get a chance to participate in various programs, including bike and marine patrols. “The circulate from CPC (community police centre) to CPC,” said Strotmann. “They do quite a bit.” He added he usually deals with teenagers who are break-

OPINION EDITORIAL
Time to put a stop to naming carousel
H
uman beings in general attach a lot of significance to names. Names allow us to organize our world in such a way that we can communicate effectively – when we say words like city hall or rabbit, we are all on the same page. This applies to most of us. What appears to be the exception, at least in Canada, is the political class, which apparently doesn’t attach the same value to
names like the rest of us. It seems politicians cannot resist the urge to apply new names to things that already have names. Last week, the federal government, through the National Capital Commission, decided to rename the Ottawa River Parkway as the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway. According to the NCC, the name change answers the call of Canadians to “use our sites, our lands and our assets
to tell our Canadian story.� This announcement, according to Ottawa WestNepean MP John Baird, “is timely as we celebrate 145 years since (Macdonald’s) election as Canada’s first prime minister.� One cannot help but note that Macdonald was a conservative prime minister. We surely won’t be seeing the Aviation Parkway renamed the Sir Wilfrid Laurier Parkway in 2016, marking 120 years since that former prime
minister was first elected. But renaming things is not an exercise any of our politicians should be spending their time and our money on – $60,000 in the case of the parkway. Not only are there numerous things – a bridge, an airport, a school, a historic building – already named after Macdonald in the city, it plays havoc with the way we collectively understand our city. Most of us who live in
Ottawa will refer to the River Parkway for decades to come. It’s what we know it as, what we’re familiar with. It will cause confusion amongst visitors to our city, who run the risk of being told by a local resident to take the river parkway to get downtown, only to search in vain for a road that has been renamed. All of this for $60,000, money that could have saved at least one public service job in this city from federal spending cuts. This is a scenario Ottawa residents are familiar with. Recently, College Coun. Rick Chiarelli sought to have
Robertson Road in Bells Corners renamed Lloyd Francis Boulevard – another decision made for political reasons, not practical ones. Fortunately that proposal was shot down when members of the public caught wind of the plan. When it comes to the federal government and the NCC, the public doesn’t have the same level of influence and we are now stuck with the decision. Is it not enough that new buildings, roads, bridges and the like are named subject to political whim? Our leaders can do better than to occupy their time playing with our society’s placemarkers.

Stressing out the kids BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse
T
he other day, my six-year-old was whining about the cool temperature of the lake following the rain. Normally I try to be empathetic about these things. On this occasion, however, I told him in the nicest possible way to suck it up. When his older brother came along and splashed water over both of us, I just shivered and laughed away the tears of the younger offspring. Sound mean? Maybe. But this incident of acute stress and others like it may actually serve to make my son a more resilient adult. According to recent science in physiology, kids that experience stress on a regular basis are better equipped to handle situations that are new, uncertain and out of their control. The key, of course, is to make sure stresses are shortlived, followed by periods of rest and recovery. Canadian author and former Wall Street trader John Coates summarizes the reasons why in his book, The Hour Between Dog and Wolf: Risk-taking, Gut Feelings and the Biology of Boom and Bust. An economist, Coates is certainly not writing about child-rearing. In fact, the book’s focus is on traders and their role in financial market volatility. But he does a great job of summarizing the science of stress, providing examples that are universally applicable. The book is a rich study of how our biology plays a role in decision-making. To put it simply, when humans are faced with the unknown, it’s not just our brains, but our bodies that respond, argues Coates. In the process, there is a rich release of hormones that prepare our bodies for movement – a surge of adrenalin, testosterone or glucose, for example. Individu-
als who are genetically and developmentally conditioned to handle stress are more likely to keep this hormonal interplay in balance. Those who aren’t will falter when faced with the slightest uncertainties in life. Coates cites one study, for example, conducted at the Rockefeller lab in the United States. In the study, rats that were repeatedly exposed to short periods of stress developed a “hardier physiology and an increased immunity to the damaging effects of further stresses.� But it’s a fine balance. For in the same study, rats exposed to chronic stress “came to suffer both physical illness and learned helplessness.� While Coates acknowledges it may be difficult for individuals to condition themselves to handle stress, he turns to sports medicine for some answers on how we may better prepare ourselves to cope. As physical beings, it really comes down to giving our bodies the opportunity to stretch ourselves physically. It makes sense then that the easiest way to trigger stress in our bodies is through exercise – forcing our heart rates up, pushing our muscles to their limits and expanding our lung capacity. But Coates also makes an argument for forcing our bodies and brains to tap into our ancient physiological flight-or-fight response by exposing ourselves to extreme temperatures. Submerging one’s face in cold water, for example, can actually have the effect of slowing our heart rates and in turn calming our bodies and minds to better deal with what’s to come. So while my “suck-it-up� mentality may have seemed harsh at the time, I take comfort in knowing that allowing my child to experience a harmless incident of stress may contribute to making him an all-around tougher individual. And as so often happens with children, it was a matter of minutes following the splash incident before my son was frolicking away in the icy lake, the previous moment of acute stress seemingly forgotten. The magic formula of stress-recovery-stress-recovery was complete when he followed his swim by exposing his body to the scorching sun before diving into the icy lake once again.

MacLeod critical of holes in daycare legislation Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
EMC news - Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod said it’s high time the province starts to deal with outdated legislation. MacLeod specially wants the province’s Minister of Education Laurel Broten to work on phasing out a grandfather exemption clause in the Day Nurseries Act that allows daycares established before 1990 to operate outside of the legislation. The exemption came under fire from parents of the embattled Canadian Montessori Academy, which operated the Tiny Tots Montessori daycare. Aside from the financial
implications over the closure of the school, several of the parents charged that there were safety issues related to the fact that the province couldn’t force the daycare to comply with the legislation. “Legislation needs to move with the times,� MacLeod said. “We have enacted legislation to deal with cell phone use in cars. The Day Nurseries Act is 20 years old. The exemption needs to be phased out.� MacLeod said she has had staff both at her constituent office and at Queen’s Park talking with parents about the Canadian Montessori Academy. “As an MPP and as a parent I feel for them,� she said. Gary Wheeler, a spokes-
person for the Ministry of Education said in an email that while he didn’t know the exact number of daycare that are currently exempted under the act, there are 70 private schools that aren’t subject to the licensing requirements of the act. Wheeler said the ministry released a discussion paper in June called Modernizing Child Care in Ontario: Sharing Conversations, Strengthening Partnerships, Working together. “As part of the discussion we are seeking input on modernizing the legislative and regulatory framework for childcare, for example the Day Nurseries Act,� he said. The idea of the discussion is to support quality and consistency across the province. As an added push Jackie
Properzi, whose young song was expelled from the Tiny Tots Montessori daycare amid questions about the school’s safety and financial well being, said she has start-
ed a letter-writing campaign to the minister in a push to have what she sees as a loophole in the legislation fixed. In the wake of the school
Celebrating 30 Years
closure, a lot of the parents are looking for daycare. Properzi suggested to parents that they do their homework. “Once burned, twice shy,� she said.

Developer to host Teron Road development meeting Residents encouraged to fight proposal that includes two-tiered highrise: KBCA Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
EMC news - A public meeting on a proposed Beaverbrook development will take place on Aug. 27. Developer Phil Bottriell owns about 1.6 hectares of land at 1131 Teron Rd., where his current house sits, backing onto March Road. He issued a request to the city to rezone the land to allow for a 10- and 15-storey, two-tiered building, as well as six threestorey townhouses. Resident and member of the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association (KBCA) Neil Thomson said in an email he is urging residents to come out and fight the highrise proposal. “Spot re-zoning has become a hot issue,” said Thomson. “The city has shown it is increasingly likely to approve multi-story condos well beyond what was agreed in community design plans or in existing zoning. “Community associations
are becoming organized in their opposition and are making elected officials aware that they will not stand by while the character of their neighbourhood is severely eroded.” He added the public meeting is a chance for residents to send a “clear message” to the city and developer. “Communities are learning that they can fight these developments, but it takes strong participation from many residents, and effective comments and feedback to the city,” said Thomson. The KBCA has created a website – www.keeptotheplan.ca – dealing with this proposal and a similar one for 2 The Parkway. “The community is not opposed to development, but it is against inappropriate buildings like these within Beaverbrook, which are incompatible with the low rise, mixed density community it was designed to be,” said Gary Sealey, president of the KBCA, in a statement. “The

She said she agrees with many of the comments from residents saying the proposal is too high-density for the area. “I know they have problems with how the development is proposed,” she said. “It’s really too intense for that particular property.” Wilkinson added there have been no changes to the proposal as of Aug. 15, and if the developer makes substantial modifications after the Aug. 27 meeting then another presentation will be announced.

Saint-Rémi to hold grand opening ceremony on Aug. 27 Continued from page 1
Library technicians have spent the past few weeks cataloguing books and loading the shelves and teachers have already started trickling into the school, eager to begin organizing their classrooms for the start of the school year. The French Catholic school board of central-eastern Ontario predicted the junior kindergarten to Grade 6 school would take in 260 students from a catchment area that includes Kanata, Constance Bay, Arnprior and Almonte. But as of last week, 345 children had registered at Saint-Rémi, a school with a capacity for 348 students.
“We’re not done registering the children,” said Congi. “So we might be 350, 355.” She said she expects enrolment will increase over the coming years with the amount of development planned in Kanata, such as Urbandale’s project in the Beaver Pond area, located only a few streets away from Saint-Rémi, situated at 100 Walden Dr. TECH-SCHOOL
When Saint-Rémi opens its doors next week, students will discover a school outfitted with all the teaching tools of modern technology, said Congi. “We are expected to have

a technological vision to help students perform and learn,” said Congi. “In 2012 it’s important to prepare our students and ensure they acquire all the skills they are going to need at secondary, post-secondary (schools) and also the workplace.” Every classroom comes equipped with a Smart Board as well as monitors to screen school announcements from the principal. Saint-Rémi also has technology labs, with one computer for every student enrolled at the school. Later this year, the school will also provide students tablets, to help children with reading and other school assignments. “There’s so many skills you can use with a tablet,” said Congi. The high-tech elementary school will also maintain an electronic monitor in a hallway near the main office, which will keep track of Saint-Rémi’s electricity and water consumption. Meanwhile, parents love being able to send their chil-
dren to a school that offers an all-French learning environment, said Louise de Vynck, a member of the school’s parent transition committee. “French immersion is just not enough since we’re engaged in such an all-English speaking environment,” she said. Lisa Blair, another member of the school’s parent transition committee, said it was exciting to send her two children to such a strong Frenchspeaking school. “Parents are looking for true bilingualism,” she said. “They’re also looking for the choice to have their children in a Catholic setting as well.” FEATURES
Other features of the new school include a double gymnasium with a roll-out stage for use by the choir and arts programs, a library with $30,000 worth of books and a daycare, which will also provide before and after school care. The daycare has enrolled 15 toddlers (18 months to two-and-a-half years old) and 24 pre-schoolers (two-and-a-

Premier hints at broader public sector wage restraint to come Blair Edwards
Blair.edwards@metroland.com
EMC news - The Ontario government needs to hit the pause button on teachers’ wage increases if it wants to maintain jobs and continue to roll out full-day kindergarten, said Premier Dalton McGuinty. “We can’t afford that,” said the premier at a press conference held at St. Luke’s Catholic School in Alta Vista on Friday, Aug. 17. McGuinty toured St. Luke’s, where the school’s principal showed two classrooms that were being built for the introduction of full-day kindergarten starting this September. “We can’t invest in teacher pay hikes and roll out fullday kindergarten,” he said. “We can’t invest in teacher pay hikes and keep class sizes down. We can’t invest in teacher pay hikes and maintain jobs for those 13,000 teachers, new teachers that we’ve hired (over the past nine years.)” The government announced this week it will introduce legislation that will require school boards and teachers unions accept a salary freeze over the next two years and ban any strikes or lockouts. The premier said his government is considering an early recall of the Ontario legislature to deal with the proposed bill. He said a vote on the bill will not be a confidence vote,
which could trigger a provincial election. The bill, titled Putting Students First, also calls for: • All teachers must take a 1.5 per cent pay cut in the form of three unpaid professional development days. • Elimination of banked sick days. • Offer 10 days for shortterm sick leave for teachers. These measures will offer more than $2 billion in savings over the next two years, said McGuinty. If approved, the legislation would take effect on Sept. 1. Current teachers and support staff agreements will expire by the end of the month and if they remain unchanged will result in an automatic salary increase, starting Sept. 1. The wage increases, the sick leave provision and the existing retirement gratuity would cost the province $473 million, according to the Ministry of Education. The McGuinty government’s proposed bill is largely based on a memorandum of understanding that has already been signed by the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association, said the premier. Over the past nine years it has been in power, the government has entered into many agreements with teachers unions with no strikes, said McGuinty.
Bryce Conrad, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hydro Ottawa, kicked off the company’s 2012 United Way workplace campaign on August 21.

‘We can’t afford’ any pay hikes, premier says Continued from page 13
“They were reasonable and responsible given the economics that prevailed,” he said. “But these are different times, I think Ontarians recognized that.” There is much uncertainty in the global economy, said McGuinty and as a consequence Ontario’s economy is growing more slowly than the government would like. “We can’t afford to give pay hikes to teachers or doctors or nurses or any of the 1.3 million public sector work-
ers,” he said. “Not right now. They’ve all had reasonable, responsible pay hikes over the past nine years. “These times are a little bit different,” he said. “It really is responsible for us to protect jobs and protect progress, but hit the pause button for a couple of years.” Lisa McLeod, the Progressive Conservative’s education critic, waited outside St. Luke’s to offer a reaction to the McGuinty government’s bill. “It’s really difficult to say you’re going to support leg-
islation that isn’t before the House,” said McLeod, adding that she was notified about the bill by the minister of education only the day before, on Aug. 16. The Conservatives have been calling for a broader sector wage freeze over the past two years, said McLeod. “We have some serious reservations of where the economy is going here in Ontario and the other broader public sector: unions and non-unionized staff and the collective agreements coming up. We have about 4,000 more col-
lective agreements that are going to be dealt with in other broader public sector areas.” McGuinty said he is waiting for input from both opposition party leaders and education critics. “The NDP are saying there is no way at any time that they will ever support a government initiative that seeks to restrain public sector pay,” he said. “That’s a non-starter for us.” McGuinty said the House leader will announce next week when the legislature will resume session.

EMC news - Mike Nowosad was surprised and humbled when he found out he was receiving the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal through his service with the Canadian 4-H Council. “There are a lot of deserving people out there,” said Nowosad, chief executive of the Canadian 4-H Council. “When I see pictures of recipients, they’re people who are saving lives - and I’m not sure I’m deserving.” The humble Westboro resident was awarded the medal at a banquet dinner at 4-H’s annual general meeting which was held in St. John’s, N.L. The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal honours Canadians who have built and continue to build a caring society and country through their service and achievements. There were 60,000 medals designated for Canadians, and 33 of these were given to the Canadian 4-H Council to honour individuals’ contribution to the 4-H movement in Canada. 4-H is a youth organization for youth between eight and 21 years old and gives young people the opportunity to learn new things through volunteer leaders.

Nowosad is also heavily involved in the Ottawa community, and has been involved in 4-H for more than 20 years. “The 4-H program has an image of being rural and that’s certainly the case, but as we approach our 100th anniversary in 2013, it has a really strong track record of creating leaders,” Nowosad said. Under his leadership, 4-H is now embarking on a new initiative called Embrace the Future, where Nowosad hopes to have 4-H expanded into urban areas.

EMC news - A Bridlewood family raised $5,000 in funds and food for the Kanata Food Cupboard over the course of five hours on Aug. 11. The Crepeaults, founders of the non-profit Kreative Kids Who Kare, unloaded dozens of boxes of non-perishables and handed over a jar of money to the food cupboard on Wednesday, Aug. 15. “We thought maybe we’d get two boxes (of food),” said Wendy, mother of the seven children. Instead, they raised more than $1,700 in funds and around 318 kilograms of food. “The kids were phenomenal and their attitudes were fantastic,” said father Kevin. “You can see it in their faces, how proud they are.” The family altered the fundraiser this year to benefit the food cupboard because they had read about the need
for donations, said 14-yearold Hannah. The family – which includes two-month-old Joseph, Lily, 6, Nathaniel, 8, Simon, 10, Sarah, 12, Hannah, 14, Jacob, 16, mother Wendy and father Kevin – originally chose to raise funds for CHEO because most of the children had been there for broken bones and illnesses. Karen Waters, client co-ordinator for the Kanata Food Cupboard, said she’s grateful for the donations. “I’m like ‘wow, this is awesome,’” she said after the boxes of food had been unloaded. “It’s amazing what they can do in five hours.” Around 20 volunteers from around the community helped the Crepeaults go door-to-door in the Bridlewood area. “We were really shocked at how much food we collected,” said Kevin. “It’s growing. The neighbourhood knows who we are now. We’re hoping to make it grow even more next year.”

Sausage, spaghetti a winning combination
T
his casserole is a good example of how to make a change in a recipe and end up with a dish that tastes just as good, if not better, than the original. The original version of this was called turkey tetrazzini for obvious reasons. It was perfect for using up the leftovers at Christmas and we really enjoyed it. The problem, of course, is that I don’t always have turkey on hand. So I tried making it with chicken. That version was good, but required cooking the chicken first. That was all right, unless I came home from work too tired to bother. Next I tried making it with tuna which can often be substituted for chicken, particularly in casseroles. That was quick and simple and became a regular supper casserole at our table. Recently I tried yet another variation. I had bought a package of bulk sausage for another recipe. Because sausage is so rich, I planned to use only half of the package in that casserole. Since bulk sausage only comes frozen, having thawed it, I had to use it up. So this time I made the ever-changing tetrazzini casserole with
PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff sausage. It was just as tasty as any of the earlier versions. I finally realized the reason this casserole always tastes so good, no matter what I use, is the sauce that goes in it. Made with mushrooms, onion, mushroom soup, cheese and Worcestershire sauce, it has a delicious and distinctive flavour, due largely to the Worcestershire sauce. This casserole also calls for cooked spaghetti, which makes it a filling, delicious dish for a family meal, potluck supper or company dinner. The version I give here describes how to make it with sausage. If you prefer, substitute one to two cups of cooked, cut-up turkey or chicken, or one can of tuna. SAUSAGE TETRAZZINI
• 3 cups cooked, drained spaghetti (enough for four people) • 1/2 package of bulk sausage meat, thawed • 1 can sliced mushrooms, drained
• 1/2 onion, chopped • 1 can cream of mushroom soup • 2/3 cup milk • 1/2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce • 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese • 2 cups crushed corn flakes Cook the sausage in a frying pan, breaking up the meat with a spoon. Drain off all the fat. Add the mushrooms and onion to the pan and cook until the onion is tender – about three to four minutes. Spread in the bottom of a large casserole dish. Using either your microwave oven or a saucepan on the stove, combine the soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce and cheese. Heat, stirring often, until the cheese is melted. Stir the cheese sauce into the spaghetti and pour this over the sausage. Sprinkle the crushed corn flakes on tops, and bake at 350 F (175 C) for 30 to 40 minutes. Serves four.

Flip to the home and garden channel right now and you're more than likely to land right on a program all about de-cluttering your life. It can be time-consuming, frustrating and sometimes dirty, but the reward is the resulting peace of mind... right? Fortunately there's one spot in your house where de-cluttering can result in much more than just a state of mind... It's your jewellery box. It might be your top drawer, a container in your bathroom or an ornate little cabinet on your dresser. Open it up. Maybe you have each item carefully polished and sorted, waiting for your next cocktail party or dinner outgood for you! Otherwise, there's a good chance you might be gazing into what looks like a bad episode of "Hoarders": Broken chains littered at the bottom, tangled with single earrings and fashion rings from the '80's. Maybe you'll see that pair of earrings that you can't wear anymore because the metal drives your skin crazy. Perhaps you'll spot a heart-shaped pendant from a past boyfriend, or the engagement ring from your first marriage. Everyone's jewellery box is different and cleaning it out can often be a very profitable process. Once you've decided which pieces you want to let go of, you'll need to determine how you want to sell them. This first requires an understanding of two basic rules to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Rule number 1: Never expect to get back what you paid! When you purchase a piece at a jewellery store you are buying a brand new item in the retail market. When you buy these items you are paying top dollar for new, un-worked precious metals, new stones, craftsmanship, and retail mark-up. Much like buying a new car off the lot, as soon as you walk out of that store, the value of your item has changed.
Rule number 2: Never expect to get the amount your piece is appraised at! When an item is appraised, the value on the appraisal is a replacement value. This value is very important for insurance purposes as it reflects the cost to have that piece re-made or re-purchased. It is not the second-hand or pre-owned value.
Profitable De-cluttering How to make the most of your old jewellery in Cranbrook
While you can never expect to sell your item for retail or appraisal value, you can make sure you are maximizing your personal gain by approaching the correct secondhand market. There are four different avenues you can take depending on the quality and condition of your jewellery at the time of sale. It is up to the seller to decide which avenue best suits their needs and to create a realistic expectation of what type of return they are looking for. Private Sale: The option of selling your pieces privately exists, however this avenue leaves yourself open to the highest amount of personal risk. This method is not recommend for selling valuable personal items. Consignment: There are plenty of consignment options around via estate sales and antique dealers. This may be a good option for items in excellent condition. Having your valuables on display in a secure storefront eliminates the risk to your personal safety and allows for a wider audience to view your piece while shopping. However, consignment stores can take a hefty commission off the final sale and some items may take a very long time (months or even years) to sell. Auction: This option is again suitable for items in excellent condition. The benefit of selling at an auction is that you are able to set a minimum bid so that you have control over what your piece sells for, plus there is the chance that, with the right set of bidders, your piece could go for more. However, this process can be costly after fees

‘Beaver deceiver’ keeps culvert clear Tubing, cages prevent mammals from flooding road Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
EMC news - A “beaver deceiver” was erected in the Kizell Pond wetlands on Wednesday, Aug. 8. The installation of tubing and cages are to keep the beavers from building dams near or blocking the culvert on Goulbourn Forced Road. “The netting is designed to keep the beaver out of this area,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. The beaver deceiver works by keeping the mammals from hearing the flow of water and trying to dam the culvert, she
said. It encourages the beavers to build their dams further away from the culverts so it doesn’t become blocked. “The trouble is if they do it enough (dam the culvert), the water can come up and flood the road,” she said, adding that when water levels rise above normal levels, it poses a risk to other wildlife coming too close to the road. “It’s a good thing we can protect the road and protect the wildlife at the same time,” she said. “They have a right to be here.” The Kizell Pond beaver deceiver is one of five currently in the city, with another two
set for construction, said Nick Stow, senior planner of land use and natural systems with the city. “They have two main benefits,” said Stow. “They allow us to protect infrastructure from beavers without having to trap and remove the beavers and…they also dramatically reduce maintenance costs in the long term.” Beaver deceivers have been used “very successfully” in Gatineau Park for 25 years, he said. The beaver deceiver is a more natural way to deal with the mammals, as opposed to destroying them or their

Plotting sibling revenge
M
y brother Emerson had a way of getting me to do his bidding. Unless I was really on my toes, I often paid dearly for not doing exactly what he wanted. But that hot summer day, when all the chores had been done in the barns, my three brothers were attempting to play ball on the flat piece of barnyard behind the silo. With only three of them, there wasn’t much chance of a very good game. Emerson wandered over to where I was sitting in the grape arbour with my dolls spread out around me. The shade of the vines made a nice cool spot for me to spend an hour or so at my favourite pastime: playing house or school with my beloved dolls. They came in all shapes and sizes, some with soft ragstuffed bodies, one with a beautiful china face, a couple showing their age and missing a part, but all dear to me. Emerson sidled closer and I knew what he wanted. He wanted me to head over to the silo and play ball. Well, not really play. What he wanted was me to run and catch the ball when one of them batted it out beyond the yard. Well, I wasn’t having any part of a game in which I would never be allowed an even role – forget that I could never hit the ball in the first place. It was the very idea that I was just to be there for their convenience and I wasn’t having any part of it. I turned him down flat. Emerson stomped away to where Everett and Earl were waiting to see if I could be talked into being their fall guy. Well, they had another thing coming. To make sure they knew I meant business, I decided to have a tea party with my dolls.
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories I propped them all up in a sitting position and headed into the house to bring out my little set of tin dishes. I decided I might as well make a little lunch while I was at it and so stopped long enough to butter a slice of bread, cut it into small pieces and headed back out to the grape arbour. What I saw when I returned turned my blood to ice water – there was just an empty space where I had left my dolls. I knew without looking that three sets of eyes would be turned in my direction. I flew into a rage and cleared the rail fence in one leap. Of course, the three brothers denied everything, but a dead giveaway was when Emerson said if I played ball for a bit, he’d tell me where they were. Well, when he saw I wasn’t interest in that deal and was heading into the house to tell Mother, he pointed towards the sand box, which was gravel from our pit Father had brought up on the stone boat for me to play in. There buried in the sand, all in a row like little soldiers, Emerson had buried every doll right up to its neck with just the heads sticking out of the sand. I clawed until I got them all out. It must have taken me an hour to wash them clean of the sand and grit. I ran into the house to tell Mother what my brother had done. I was pretty sure Everett and Earl would have had no
part in the deed. Mother said it was too hot to sort out my problems with my brothers and besides, she said, I knew what she thought of tattlers. That meant unless you actually showed signs of being physically wounded with blood running from your nose, she wanted no part of our childhood battles. So I would be left to my own devices when it came to dealing with Emerson. I plotted in earnest how I could best get rid of him without showing signs that I had done it. Poison was an option, but I had no idea what a poison was or if we had any on the farm. But I realized I was no match for my big strapping brother. I would just have to protect my dolls as best I could. That night, I did as I always did before I went upstairs to bed. I put them in the parlour where they slept every night, telling each and every one of them they were safe there. But after I went to bed and my sister Audrey had blown out the lamp, I lay perfectly still until I was sure she was asleep beside me. Then I crept downstairs. I had to make two trips, but I carried every last doll upstairs and put them under my bed where I knew they would be safe. I finally fell asleep, still plotting how I was going to deal with Emerson and make him pay dearly for his dastardly deed.

Camp urges children to become paramedics Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
R0011559851_0816
EMC news - Eric Metat has called on the paramedics 15 times, but on Aug. 16, they called on him. Metat was one of approximately 20 participants at Paramedic Awareness Week Camp last week. While his previously in-
volvement with the paramedics resulted from skateboarding accidents, Metat, a Lowertown resident, said he wanted to come to the camp because he might want to become a paramedic when he grows up. That was good news for Ottawa Paramedic Service superintendant Paul Morneaux, who helps out with the camp. “We want to reach out to
various parts of the community and show them they can consider paramedicine as a career,” Morneaux said. At the very least, the camp is an opportunity to increase awareness of what paramedics do. When he started in the service 22 years ago, Morneaux said many people didn’t know what a paramedic was
or they were referred to by a detested term: “ambulance driver.” “But it’s getting better,” Morneaux said. “Everyone seems to know what a police officer is and what a firefighter is. Sometimes the word ‘paramedic’ – even that word – some kids don’t even know it. But it’s getting better.” With every group of children invited to the annual paramedic camp, the more that awareness spreads, says Maria-Cristina Serje, a diversity consultant with the city who was involved with setting up the camp two years ago. The paramedic service also benefits from the endeavour,
she said. “We want to increase knowledge in both ways: the community learning more about paramedics and the paramedics learning more about the community,” she said. The program invites children and youth from various cultural groups to the camp. Last year, the focus was on inviting Muslim youth to the camp. This year, participants from a local aboriginal group, a Jewish community group and other groups joined individuals and children of paramedics to learn the basics of paramedicine. From taking a mock 911 call to stabilizing someone
with a back injury on a board, participants at the camp said they were surprised how fun the activities were. “It’s actually really fun. I expected it to not be fun, but it was super fun,” said CJ Baker, a camp participant from Bells Corners. “We’ve seen a lot of stuff we wouldn’t normally see,” said CJ’s younger sister, Marie Baker, including the inside of an ambulance and the closedoff corners of the Ottawa Paramedic Service headquarters in the Ottawa Business Park off Walkley Road. Marie and her friends agreed on the best way to describe what paramedics do: “They’re the heroes.”

Sometimes kids just gotta dance
Ottawa Public Health reports youth mental health survey
When your kids just gotta dance, the City of Ottawa offers a variety of classes and activities that will keep their toes tapping and body rocking. The choices go on for pages and pages in the Recreation eGuide available at ottawa.ca
One third of students suffer psychological distress, more than a quarter victims of bullying
Dancing is great exercise for kids of all ages. For younger children, it’s a fun introduction to physical fitness and many key skills that will serve them throughout life, such as coordination, balance, flexibility, strength, stamina, discipline and memory. They will also learn to follow instructions and develop an appreciation for different styles of music.
Ottawa Public Health
Ottawa Public Health (OPH) is working with community partners to address gaps in mental health programs in Ottawa on the heels of the 2011 Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey. The mental health portion of the survey, conducted during the 2010-11 school year, found that one in three Ottawa students in grades 7 to12 reported elevated levels of psychological distress, over a quarter had been bullied on school property, and 12 per cent considered suicide in the past year.
“Momentum to address mental health and prevent suicide in our community continues to build, and the results of this survey make it clear much more can be done,” said Dr. Isra Levy, medical officer of health. “That’s why Ottawa Public Health, along with partners such as the Youth Services Bureau, Le Centre psychosocial and the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, is continuing its efforts to address gaps in mental health programs and services, particularly for children and youth.” Supporting the Youth Services Bureau’s Youth Mental Health Walk-in Clinic, work-
ing with Ottawa-area school boards to increase resiliency and coping skills in youth through the Healthy Transitions program and partnering with Crossroads Children’s Centre and Centre Psychosocial to screen children for potential developmental, mental, social, and emotional issues before they start school are just some of the services Ottawa Public Health delivers. “Partnering with Ottawa Public Health has allowed the YSB to support more youth and their families in times of need,” said Joanne Lowe, executive director, Youth Services Bureau. “The results of this survey clearly show Ottawa’s children and youth need this kind of coordinated community support.”
Through programs such as Music and Movement and Creative Movement, toddlers as young as three can explore their natural response to music and rhythm while expanding their creative scope and gaining confidence in their abilities. These programs provide a fun and casual approach to practicing basic and fine motor skills and learning about body awareness and space.

Cameras on the table for new Para Transpo fleet Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Para Transpo wants to do something new when it buys a new fleet – ask its customers what they want. Para Transpo provides 519,335 dedicated trips a year using 91 vehicles, a fleet that is nearing the end of its life now that the mini buses are five years old. In 2011 the city committed to spending $13 million to completely replace the fleet. On Sept. 26, Para Transpo plans to hold two sessions with its customers and key
groups representing the interest of riders. The idea is to have people who use Para Transpo make suggestions on the important things to consider when putting together a request for a new vehicle supplier, said AJ Ryland, program manager of Para Transpo. The consultations will happen at city hall during the morning and afternoon. “It’s something we haven’t done before. so we’re really happy and excited about doing it,” Ryland said. “We’re also hoping that this will sort of lay the groundwork for fu-
ture consultations with our stakeholders for other initiatives we plan to do from time to time, both with Para Transpo and OC Transpo.” Normally, OC Transpo would send out an RFP, or request for proposal, to ask manufacturers what they would be able to provide to Ottawa and at what cost. Then the transit authority would put together consultations to ask people what they thought about the options. Through the upcoming sessions, OC Transpo is asking customers what they think first, Ryland said. Operators,

mechanics, schedulers and other OC Transpo employees will also be consulted. “This is, I think, a bit unusual,” added David Pepper, OC Transpo’s manager of business and operational services. “In the old world of public procurement, we would come to you after the bid is out and there and everything is done … Para Transpo came to us and said, ‘We’d actually like to talk to our customers before we even put out the proposal.’” Ryland and Pepper made a presentation to the city’s accessibility advisory committee on Aug. 15 to let them know about the consultation and a couple committee mem-
bers told the men one thing they would likely hear about from Para users: the need for on-board cameras. The committee met the day after a former Para Transpo driver was sentenced to four years in prison on Aug. 14 after he pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 26-year-old passenger who has cerebral palsy last May. “Given that that happened once, I believe Para Transpo should consider strongly putting cameras on their buses,” said advisory committee member Susan Brunet, particularly because many customers have communication or mental disabilities that leave
them vulnerable to being taken advantage of. “We hear you on that,” Pepper said. Another committee member, former chairwoman Catherine Gardner, noted that cameras would also offer protection for drivers. “I have been on many buses where the clients have also been abusive and I think it’s a two-way street,” Gardner said. Para Transpo also partners with local taxi companies by offering vouchers for riders to use for a reduced-cost taxi trip.

CL371485
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Daniel Joseph Hickey of Arnprior on Monday evening, August 13th 2012 at the age of 54 years. We find some comfort in knowing he has been received into the loving arms of his late mother, Audrey (nee Mears). He will be sadly missed by his father, Joseph Hickey (D’Ann Huth). Devoted husband and best friend of Rennie (nee VandenBerg). Proud and loving father to Joseph (Caroline Wang) and Meaghan (Jake Fraser). Dearly loved brother of Laurie Robertson (Norm), Brian Hickey (Cathy) and Mary Ellen Procher (Gord). Loved son-in-law of Louise VandenBerg. Dear brother-in-law of Rutger VandenBerg (Dolores), Lucy Wachowicz (Dan) and Marie Salcioglu. He will be missed by his many nieces and nephews and countless friends. Dan was a passionate fisherman and avid outdoorsman always seeking a new lucrative fishing hole or adventure. A teacher by profession, his natural ability to instruct extended well beyond the classroom and his willingness to help others was always clearly evident. He will be remembered by those closest to him through his mantra to “work hard, play hard and be nice to everybody.” Family and friends are invited to pay their respects at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior on Friday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in St. John Chrysostom Church, Arnprior on Saturday morning, August 18th, 2012 at 10 o’clock. Interment Malloch Road Cemetery. In memory of Dan, a donation to the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (www.ofah.org) “TackleShare” program would be appreciated by his family.

they thought they could,” said Hine-Schmidt. The camp had a limited number of spaces and for girls to be considered, they had to fill out an application that asked a number of questions about their intent. Only 24 got a chance to participate in the program. While at the camp, the girls get to learn about the basic role of a firefighter. “They get to try a little bit of everything,” said HineSchmidt. Hine-Schmidt is one of the 27 full-time female firefighters in Ottawa. “We do have a lot fewer women firefighters,” she said. “We don’t have very many women out there as visual role models, so a lot of women

EMC news - Nineteen-yearold Emily MacDonald hails from a long line of firefighters and wants to be the first female member of the family to join their ranks. The Hunt Club resident, whose father and both her grandfathers were firefighters, said her father really wants her to be a firefighter, which is why she signed up for the Female Firefighters in Training camp –or Camp FFIT – that ran at the Ottawa Fire Services training division building at 898 Industrial Rd., from Aug.13 to 17. “My dad has been a firefighter for a long time and I have grown up around this and I would like to try it out,” said
non-profit association of women in career and volunteer fire departments in Ontario, the camp pushes participants both physically and mentally. “I like this to help me become a firefighter in the future,” MacDonald said. “That would be my dream job for sure.” Louise Hine-Schmidt, a thirteen-year firefighter veteran and one of the first women to become a firefighter in Ottawa, is the director of Camp FFIT. To her, the importance of this camp for young women is the empowerment they get from participating. “They come in when they are shy, scared and with no knowledge of what to expect, and when they leave, they realize they can do a lot more than
MacDonald. “I would be the first girl in my family to be a firefighter.” More than 20 teenagers had the chance to bang down doors, perform search and rescue operations in the dark, lift ladders and climb up the side of a 11-metre-tall building last week, all while wearing up to 23 kilograms of firefighter gear. “This is about being able to actually try out what the firefighters do in everyday situations and see if I would actually enjoy doing what they do,” said MacDonald. The course, now in its third year, is designed to give young women the chance to see what being a firefighter is about. Organized by the city and Fire Service Women of Ontario, a

Macdonald Parkway renaming spurs call for Cartier Parkway Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Now that the Ottawa River Parkway has been renamed to honour Canada’s first prime minister Sir John A. Macdonald, one group is calling on the National Capital Commission to “restore the equilibrium” and rename the Rockcliffe Parkway after George-Étienne Cartier. Immanuel Giulea, founder of the Société MacDonaldCartier Society, said he has been waiting to see if the Macdonald renaming would go through before issuing a call to bestow the same level of honour on the second “father of confederation:” Cartier. Giula and his group has spearheaded a campaign to block the renaming of Wellington Street to Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard in 2010 based on the historic value and longevity of the Wellington name. Giula said that while his group recommended renaming the Airport Parkway leading to the Macdonald-Cartier International Airport after the first prime minister would be the best plan to honour Macdonald, applying his name to the Ottawa River Parkways works fine as well. “We are also hopeful they won’t forget Cartier,” who represented the interests of French Canadians during confederation, said Giula, a Montreal resident. While he put his campaign to rename the Rockcliffe Parkway “on ice” while waiting for the federal government to decide what to do about the Macdonald renaming, Giula said he will now put a request to the NCC to rename the Rockcliffe Parkway. Giula added that he would like to see the spelling corrected to “MacDonald” instead of “Macdonald,” but he didn’t get his wish. The National Capital Commision spent $60,000 on four gateway signs (located at either entrance to the parkway at
Booth Street, Island Park Drive and at Carling Avenue near Richmond Road) reading “Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway”. Perhaps the happiest person at the parkway renaming announcement was Westboro resident Bob Plamondon, a public policy consultant and author. He has led the push to rename a street after Macdonald for more than two years. “It’s a great day,” he said. He admitted there were “clear and persuasive arguments” against renaming Wellington Street, but renaming the parkway was the best option. Not only is it a federal road, which strengthens its ties to Macdonald’s federal role, it is also patrolled by the RCMP, which he created. It was also much easier to accomplish than renaming a city road, Plamondon added. There are no addresses on the parkway, so the change doesn’t create any complication for businesses or residents. In contrast to the extensive consultation and public meetings required to rename a city street, federal roads can be renamed on the direction of the minister in charge – in this case, Ottawa-West Nepean MP John Baird, the minister of foreign affairs. The National Capital Commission’s board also endorsed the new name. Plamondon said there was “massive consultation” through an online petition and Facebook page and through media coverage generated by his op-ed pieces in the Ottawa Citizen. Macdonald’s name has been applied to a number of public institutions around the city. In addition to the Macdonald-Cartier International Airport and the MacdonaldCartier Bridge, the former Bank of Montreal building at 144 Wellington St. was renamed after Macdonald earlier this year. There is also a Macdonald Street in Ottawa in the Golden Triangle. It runs parallel to Cartier Street.

Water polo club makes waves in Ottawa Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
EMC sports – Capital Wave’s head coach and volunteers with the newly-minted water polo club made a splash at Crestview Pool in Nepean on Aug. 17. The volunteers led a series of clinics for communities across the city on the week of Aug. 17 – finishing off in Nepean. Kim Oastler, president of the Capital Wave board of directors said in a city of 900,000 people there is more than enough room to fit two water polo leagues. Oastler added that she hoped the players would be able to compete against members of the Ottawa Titans – the city’s other water polo club. The main goal is to drive up registration for the month-old club, which has members from the initiation stage to high level competitive. Three of their older members competed with the national team at the Pan American Junior Water Polo Championships in Montreal. “It’s not a very well-known sport,” Oastler said, adding it gives participants a chance to travel and compete at a higher level than they might at some sports. Registration starts in September and practices and games will be held at pools across the city to make the team as accessible as possible. For now, the Champagne pool on King Edward Avenue, the Nepean Sportsplex and the pool at the Boys and Girls Club’s Britannia clubhouse have been able to provide time. Oastler said the sport is ex-
pensive and she wants to work with the Boys and Girls Club to provide subsidized spots for children from lower income families. “Right now we want to grow so we can offer those subsidized spots,” she said. Capital Wave offers five program options: • Water polo initiation: for children ages six to 12. • Development: for children 14 and under. • Competitive programs for children 16 and under and 18 and under. • A recreational program for youth 16 and under and 18 and under. • A seniors and active for life program: for people who are 22 and older. The club has hired a fulltime coach, Celso Roja, a former team captain of the Peruvian national men’s water polo team. Roja coached water polo at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, guiding the girls team to their first-ever north west division title in 2003. In 2005, he was named the head coach of British Columbia’s provincial water polo team and three years later moved to Ottawa, where he became the head coach of the Ottawa Titans women’s water polo program. FAMILY FOCUSED FUN
“Capital Wave is really family focused and that is something I was interested in for sure,” said Joanne MacCormac, a Bridlewood woman with a daughter who is a member of the club. Megan MacCormac, 15, has
been playing the sport since she was eight years and old. A member of the women’s under 16 competitive program, the Grade 10 Holy Trinity Catholic High School student trains at the pool nine to 12 hours a week. This year she was asked to try out for the Canadian junior women’s water polo team, but had to opt out as she was still nursing a concussion. “I love that it’s a team sport and it’s very community based, that the families really get to know each other,” said Catherine Seaman, whose daughters Megan and Sarah MacGinnis are members of Capital Wave. Emma, 12, has been playing water polo for three years, moving from recreational to competitive programs. “I like that it’s a team sport and we make friends,” said Emma, who is a Grade 9 student at Franco-Cité French Catholic high school in Alta Vista. “I like that it’s in the water I love water and I like that it’s a physical sport.” Emma’s sister Sarah started playing water polo last year, when she was looking for an alternative sport after being placed on the waiting list for hockey. She was quickly hooked on the sport. “The people just seem really nice,” said Sarah, a Grade 6 student at Lamoureux French Catholic elementary school in the Heron and Bank streets area. “I really like the physical contact in it.” More information about registration and try outs can be found at www.ottawawaterpolo.com.

How to improve your home’s curb appeal
* Clean up. The most effective way to improve curb appeal is to clean up the property. Many homeowners are savvy enough to remove toys and other items from the yard before showing a home, but cleaning up goes beyond removing clutter from the property. Make sure all hedges are trimmed and remove weeds, sticks and other debris from any flower beds. Lay mulch in the flower beds and garden, as mulch prevents weed growth while helping the soil retain moisture, resulting in more attractive gardens to catch a buyer’s eye. * Get an “edge” on other sellers. Edging is another easy and effective way to improve curb appeal. Edge driveways, sidewalks and other walkways around the property, removing or trimming anything that is hanging over the driveway or walkways. If the boundary between your driveway and lawn is not distinct, consider installing edging materials such as stone or bricks. The edging can be level with the driveway or elevated, but keep in mind that elevated driveway edging can protect the lawn, preventing kids from riding their bicycles onto the lawn or cars from driving onto it. Adding edging is not a very difficult do-it-yourself project. * Take to the trees. Many homeowners grow accustomed to overgrown trees around their
property and may not notice that low-hanging, unsightly branches are hiding the home from view. Buyers want to see the house, so take to the trees and trim any branches that hang too low or obscure your home. * Clean the gutters. Leaves and sticks hanging from the gutters are a red flag to buyers, who tend to associate clogged gutters
with roof damage. Clean the gutters thoroughly before putting your home up for sale and keep them clean throughout the selling process. If your property includes lots of trees, install guards to keep twigs and leaves out of the gutters. * Make the home accessible through the front door. Many homeowners enter their home My specialty is Sold signs!

through a side door or through their garage. If you fall into this category, keep in mind that prospective buyers will be entering through the front door, so make this area accessible. Clear any clutter, such as overgrown hedges, away from the front door, and consider upgrading the door handle to a more modern feature. In addition, make sure the lock on the front door doesn’t stick, forcing the realtor and buyers to immediately struggle before entering the home. You want buyers and their real estate agents to get in and out of the home as smoothly as possible.

Men and women who have tried to sell a home are likely familiar with the phrase “curb appeal.” Curb appeal is similar to getting ready for a big date, only you’re not dressing yourself up to make a strong first impression. Instead, improving curb appeal involves dressing your home up in the hopes it makes a strong first impression on prospective buyers, many of whom will have a strong opinion about the property before they even get out of their cars to have a look around. A home with strong curb appeal can entice buyers who are likely to believe that a home with a well-maintained exterior is likely to have an equally impressive interior. Homeowners who want the process of selling their home to go smoothly can improve the property’s curb appeal in a number of ways, many of which don’t necessitate a substantial home improvement budget.

Fewer deaths and injuries on Ottawa roads in 2011 City of Ottawa
EMC news - Traffic fatalities on Ottawa roads are at their lowest number in six years and traffic-related injuries have also declined, according to collision data released today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the serious injuries and deaths that occur on our roads are preventable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; everyone needs to do their part,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Jim
Watson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city is always looking at ways we can make our roads safer for everyone, whether it is through engineering or education.â&#x20AC;? The collision data summary is a snapshot of collision data from 2007-11, including the top 10 signalized intersection collision locations across the city. Collision data results are compiled and released by the city on an annual basis.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city is working with our community partners to relay the message to all road users that keeping our roads safe is everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility,â&#x20AC;? said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, chair of the transportation committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important to continue to focus on maintaining the positive trends outlined in the report, while striving to reduce the number of collision-related injuries
â&#x20AC;˘ Total number of collisions rose by 2.3 per cent, but the number of injuries and fatalities resulting from serious collisions declined, by 3.8 per cent and 34.2 per cent respectively. â&#x20AC;˘ The number of registered vehicles increased in 2011 by 1.5 per cent to 515,784 compared to 508,389 in 2010. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Safer Roads Ottawa program (SRO) is a leading partnership between
and fatalities even further.â&#x20AC;? The following are highlights from the report: â&#x20AC;˘ Traffic fatalities decreased from 38 in 2010 to 25 in 2011, resulting in the lowest number of fatalities in six years. â&#x20AC;˘ Traffic injuries decreased from 3,822 in 2010 to 3,690 in 2011. â&#x20AC;˘ Total traffic collisions were up from 14,953 in 2010 to 15,295 in 2011.
Ottawa Fire Services, Ottawa Paramedic Service, Ottawa Police Service, Ottawa Public Health and the public works department. It is committed to preventing or eliminating road deaths and serious injuries for all people in the city, through culture change, community engagement and the development of a sustainable safe transportation environment.

Opera singer back to perform in hometown La Bohème shows mark the start of Opera Lyra season in Ottawa globe in pursuit of her dream of becoming a performer, a pursuit that has led her home to Ottawa. La Bohème will be the start of Opera Lyra’s 28th season at the NAC in September and El-Khoury will be playing the lead role of Mimi. This opera was actually the very first opera she saw as a
Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC entertainment - Opera singer Joyce El-Khoury’s love for opera began while sitting in the audience at the National Arts Centre as a teenager. Since that moment, the young singer has traveled the
young Ottawa University student in 2002. “The first opera I ever saw in full was La Bohème in 2002,” El-Khoury said. “I went for my birthday and I remember sitting in the NAC and watching the show and thinking I would love to do this one day and here I am doing the opera I wanted, the first one I ever saw, and in the lead role. It gives me goose bumps just thinking about it.” The Elmvale Acres native is very excited about perform-
ing in her home town and having a chance to catch up with family and friends. “I am not nervous,” she said. “It is nice to sing knowing that there is someone that loves you in the audience.” El-Khoury admits she once had difficulties with stage fright, but took a leap of faith when she was a teenager and performed for a church. Since that moment, she’s felt comfortable in the spotlight. “I was terrified and was shaking, but I wanted to sing, and just went up and sang and it was like ripping off a BandAid and now here I am here I am.” After graduating from the University of Ottawa in 2005 and completed Opera Lyra’s studio artist program, the ambitious singer went on to
attend the Academy of Vocal Arts in Philadelphia. After graduation from that program, El-Khoury moved to New York to attend the Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann young artist development program. Since graduating from the Metropolitan program in 2011, she has been on the road, performing all over the world. “I feel so lucky to do what I do, to be honest,” she said. “Being on the road and not having a stable kind of home, every four to six weeks can be a hard place, but I am so happy and so grateful to get to do what I do that I am willing to make that sacrifice.” After all the travelling, ElKhoury said performing in her hometown, on her old stage , is a whole new story.

Ottawa opera singer looks forward to hometown performance From OPERA, page 39
“I kind of grew up at the NAC, with my first performance in an opera on this stage. The minute I walked into the building, nothing has changed and I felt at home.” In addition to familiarity and family, El-Khoury will be singing with her best friend, Michael Fabiano, who will be playing Rodolfo. “We are basically inseparable, it is going to be so much fun,” she said. A big fan of poutine, ElKhoury plans on letting her
American friend have his first taste of the Canadian dish showing him around the city. La Bohème was written by Giacomo Puccini in 1896 and tells the tale of bittersweet love. The new general director of Opera Lyra, John Peter Jeffries, admitted this particular opera may be his favourite and seems to evoke emotion from him every time he sees it performed, even after 30 years in the business. “It is romantic and full of tragedy,” he said. “It is about young love and loss. It is a great evening at the opera.”
El-Khoury said she draws from her own life experiences when it comes to working in her characters. “The tricky thing, sometimes can be to feel the emotion on the stage, it is not my job to feel the emotion, it is my job to make the audience feel the emotion. I prepare by relating my character to myself.” The opera’s first performance will take place on Sept. 8, with subsequent shows on Sept. 10, 12 and 15. Tickets are currently on sale through Opera Lyra’s website at www. operalyra.ca.

Attention! BACK-to-SCHOOL Fall Registration register now for dance classes OL Fall Registration Ballet * Jazz * Tap * Lyrical * Hip-Hop * Step Teaching kids to be green * Shop secondhand. Children and toys go hand-in-hand. However, what was once the latest and greatest toy can quickly become overshadowed by something new tomorrow. Explain the benefits of getting gently used toys, clothing and books instead of purchasing them new. Doing so reduces the reliance on the production of new things, cuts down on shipping and also saves money. Encourage kids to set up a toy swap where they pass on toys they no longer find interesting to others who can enjoy them. * Lead by example. When installing new LED bulbs or switching out an appliance for an Energy Star-rated model, explain to
children why this is being done. Children learn quickly and can grasp abstract ideas more easily than adults may think. They soon may catch on and make their own green changes, such as turning off lights when not in rooms, unplugging game chargers when not in use or using less water while brushing teeth before bed. * Cook together. Instead of purchasing fast food and processed, packaged foods or traveling to a restaurant, make a meal at home that everyone can enjoy. Not only will this enable the family to talk about important local and global issues, it saves energy and reduces the family’s carbon footprint as well.

The children of today are the decision-makers of the future. Therefore, it’s imperative that youngsters learn about the planet and how to protect it. Teaching children about the ways they can protect the planet or make simple changes to decrease their carbon footprints now may pave the way for more informed adults later, and children can discover the benefits of giving back rather than taking more. * Bike, walk or carpool. Kids are in transit just as much as their adult counterparts, and how they get from point A to point B can help or hurt the environment. From home to school, from school to an extracurricular activity, from an extracurricular activity back to home, transportation is a large part of the day. Automobiles consume large amounts of fossil fuels and also release harmful contaminants into the air via their exhaust systems. Walking or biking to school gives children the opportunity to enjoy fresh air and exercise while reducing their reliance on fuels. If school is too far away, involve kids in the set-up of a carpool with friends and discuss the benefits of riding together. * Take a trip. Children are visual creatures and often learn the best lessons by seeing what something is all about. A day trip to a working farm or a recycling center can teach important lessons about sustainability and conservation.

How to make healthy school lunches for kids Confrontations focusing on diet between children and parents have been around seemingly since the beginning of time. Many children start off as cooperative eaters, anxious to try different types of foods. As they get older, the number of foods they’re apt to eat diminishes, which can make choosing healthy items for lunches and dinners more difficult. It also can make packing lunches for school more challenging. Many initiatives have attempted to improve the quality of school lunches provided by school cafeterias. Government regulations to reduce the amount of fat and sodium in these lunches, and to introduce more whole grains,
fruits and vegetables, are one such initiative. Parents of students who prefer to bring their own lunches from home may be left wondering how they can create healthy lunches their kids will eat. Considering school lunches must compete with far less healthy yet widely available alternatives, parents will need to be creative in their creation of homemade lunches. Here are some ideas to get you started. * Purchase a new lunch container. There are many different new and innovative lunch containers that can make separating school lunches easy. Few kids want to dig into a brown paper sack and pull out something
How far they go is up to them... How they get there is up to you. At the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, we have the programs and staff you need to get them there, including Full-Day Kindergarten and Extended Day Programs offered in 55 schools this September!

that has been so squashed it’s unrecognizable. Partitioned lunch boxes enable you to pack different items together where they can be stored separately. The divisions also help you remember to include foods from the basic food groups, such as a fruit, vegetable, protein, starch and dairy item. * Have your child make a list of his or her favorite foods. Once the list has been made, see how you can make the foods healthier. For example,
if chicken nuggets make the list, prepare your own nuggets with white meat chunks that are baked, not fried. If there are a number of bread items, see if you can substitute whole grain breads instead of white, bleached varieties. * Get creative. Children may not be inclined to eat loose pieces of fruit. But if the fruit is stuck on skewers or served with a low-fat dipping sauce or caramel, it may look more appealing. Look to “mini” foods, which tend
to be more fun as well. Little sandwiches and little burgers may present an optical illusion, where kids think they’re eating only a small amount, but actually it’s a full serving. * Hide healthy foods within others. There are entire recipe books that teach you how to mix fruits and vegetables into desserts to increase nutritive value. Everything from spinach to tofu to beets have been included in items like cake, cookies and brownies. So if kids are reticent to dig into their greens, try a clever hiding method. * Cut foods into fun shapes. Kids may be more inclined to eat a turkey and cheese sandwich if it’s cut into star shapes or their favorite cartoon characters. Invest in a few cookie cutters so that lunchtime becomes fun time. * Don’t let the time of day dictate what you serve. As long as kids are eating healthy items, it doesn’t matter when they eat them. If a child loves bagels, choose whole wheat bagels and add an egg on top for a nutritious lunch. Serve with a gelatin dessert that contains chunks of fruit and lowfat milk, and you’re set. There are many different ways to improve homemade lunches for the better.

Are there indicators that a child is nearsighted? Kids likely won’t tell their parents that they are struggling to see distant objects clearly, so it’s important for parents to look for indicators that a child might be struggling with myopia. Kids who are nearsighted might squint to see objects that are far away, including the television. One of the telltale indicators is how a child behaves in the classroom. Children who tell their teacher they need to move closer to the chalkboard should be taken to the eye doctor. Parents who suspect their
child might be nearsighted can talk to their child’s teacher and ask if the teacher feels the child might be struggling with his or her vision. Such struggles can affect how a child performs in school. Children who get frequent headaches might also be suffering from nearsightedness. Doctors recommend that

What causes myopia? When a person has myopia, light entering his or her eye is focused incorrectly. Nearsighted people usually have an eyeball that is slightly longer than normal from front to back, and the light rays that make up the images a nearsighted person sees focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. The result is that objects that are far away appear blurry.

myopia is not preventable. However, treatment can significantly minimize its effects. Children who appear to be struggling to see distant objects clearly should be taken for an eye exam. That exam may include an eye pressure measurement; a refraction test, which is used to determine a correct prescription for eyeglasses; a retinal examination and a visual acuity test, which measures sharpness of vision at close and far distances. When a child is diagnosed as being nearsighted, the doctor will likely prescribe eyeglasses or contact lenses. LASIK surgery can correct vision, but many surgeons are reticent to recommend such surgery until a patient’s eye has fully developed, which does not occur until after childhood.
Parents want their kids to be as healthy as possible. Whether tailoring kids’ diets to include healthier foods or encouraging their youngsters to be physically active, parents often go the extra mile with regards to the health of their children. But as hard as parents may try, some health-related issues are difficult to avoid or prevent. For example, even the most conscientious parents might have little influence over their children’s vision. Many children have a form of myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, which progressively worsens as kids get older but eventually stabilizes when their eyes have stopped growing, typically in a young adult’s early 20s. Myopia is common and treatable, but parents should still educate themselves about it so they can better respond should they suspect their child is suffering from nearsightedness.

Attention! BACK-to-SCHOOL Fall Registration
Save on back-to-school clothes shopping robes. While a complete wardrobe overhaul might not be necessary, kids typically need to replace a few items they’ve outgrown since the start of summer break. There are several ways parents can save on back-toschool clothes. * Get a head start. Parents can save themselves some money by shopping early for their children’s backto-school wardrobes. Though kids may experience a growth
spurt during the summer, shop for items, like socks, that they aren’t likely to grow out of before the back-to-school season begins. This affords you time to comparison shop and spread out the cost of replacing your child’s wardrobe instead of being hit with one big bill all at once. * Establish a budget. Without a budget, it’s easy for parents to overspend on back-toschool clothing, especially for those parents who wait until R0011521372
The back to school season can be bittersweet. Parents may miss having their youngsters around the house when summer officially ends, but it’s also fun for parents to watch kids partake in all that school has to offer. One of the things few parents look forward come the end of summer vacation is back-to-school shopping. Such shopping can be costly, especially when it’s time to outfit kids with new ward-

the last minute and simply buy the first things they see. Establish a budget, ideally several weeks before your child’s first day of school. Having a budget in place reduces the likelihood that you will overspend, and developing the budget early helps you spread out your spending. * Shop at consignment stores. Consignment stores offer name-brand clothing at discounted prices, something parents of ever-growing youngsters can appreciate. Kids will like the name-brand gear, while Moms and Dads will enjoying not having to pay name-brand prices. A consignment store with sig-
nificant inventory might sell anything from blue jeans and T-shirts to sneakers, shoes and jackets. * Swap clothes with other families. Clothing swaps between families have grown increasingly popular as more and more parents look to save money on rising clothing costs for their kids. Typically, families will swap clothes, including jackets, if their kids are similar in age and one youngster has outgrown his or her clothes. If you can’t find a family to swap with, visit your local community center or church to see if it has a clothing swap program.

Parents can visit department store Web sites to find great deals on back to school clothing for their kids. * Shop discount stores. If the local consignment store has already been raided, consider a discount store like Marshalls or TJ Maxx. These stores typically sell items at heavily discounted prices and often have similar inventories to mall department stores. * Shop online. A relatively new way for parents to save on back to school clothing is to shop online. A popular store’s Web site might offer discounts that their brick-andmortar store does not. Parents can also scour a host of coupon Web sites to find special codes they can use at checkout. These codes might offer free shipping or a percentage off the bill when consumers spend a certain amount of money.

School bus safety for kindergarteners c i m h t y h R a Kanat b u l C s c i t s a Gymn
Register Now for Recreational Programs for girls ages 4 and up Classes begin September 10
Acquainting children with school bus safety and protocol can ease first day jitters. while waiting for the bus to arrive. * Do not roughhouse or run around with friends while waiting for the bus to arrive. * Wait for the bus a safe distance away from the street until the bus stops and opens the door. * Walk one-by-one onto the bus. Do not push or crowd the doorway. * Once on the bus, quickly find a seat and sit down. * If there is a seatbelt, fasten it. (Children should be familiar with how to latch a seatbelt.) * Do not put your head, arms or anything else out of
the bus window. * Keep the bus aisle clear of backpacks or other items. * Keep voices down so not to distract the driver. * Listen to the driver. * Do not throw things on the bus. * Unbuckle your seatbelt only when the bus has stopped at the school (or your stop at home) * Exit the bus slowly and do not push. * If you must cross the street when exiting the bus, do so in front of the bus so the driver can see you. Parents can go over these
rules again and again. On the first day of school, some parents prefer to let their children ride the bus to school and then the parents meet the children at the school to watch the boys and girls exit. This also reassures the children that they are safe riding the bus. The first day of school may be full of new things, but children can acquaint themselves with school bus safety and grow accustomed to riding one each day.

A kindergartener’s first day of school is a day to cherish. There are so many firsts to experience, from wearing a backpack for the first time to making new friends to riding on a school bus. All of these firsts can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. For many youngsters, school marks the first time they are away from their parents for an extended period of time. As a result, safety concerns -- especially concerning transportation to and from school -- is foremost on the minds of many parents. School bus safety is something that should be presented to children in terms they can understand. Riding on a school bus is often a fun experience for kids, but the prospect of leaving Mom or Dad behind at the curb can spark mixed feelings. It is best to prepare students for the school bus a few weeks prior to the first day of school to gauge their reactions and plan accordingly. Many school districts and transportation companies, like the North Penn School District Transportation Department in Pennsylvania, host annual events that help introduce kindergarteners-to-be to the school bus. Children are encouraged to enter the bus and learn about all of the equipment. The students also may be given a short ride around town, and safety information is typically included. If the school district where you are living does not host a special orientation day for children entering kindergarten, see if you can arrange to have a bus tour by contacting a bus company in the area. Although safety tips may be covered at orientation, it is a good idea to reinforce lessons at home in preparation for the first day of school. Here are some important topics to go over. * Walk to the bus using a sidewalk if there is one. If no sidewalk is present, walk on the opposite side of the street facing oncoming traffic. * Wait for the bus at the designated stop. Don’t wander away. * Do not go into the street

Gees Gees take home games to Beckwith University of Ottawa will offer shuttle buses to Lanark County Laura Mueller and Marla Shook
laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Gee Gees football fans will have to travel 40 minutes west of Ottawa to attend home games for the upcoming season. Temporarily relocating the varsity team due to con-
struction delays on its home field will give the University of Ottawa a chance to help build up football culture at Beckwith’s “field of dreams,” however, says the university’s assistant athletic director, Colin Timm. The Lanark County facility is a saviour to the university,
which was looking for an alternate field due to delays constructing a new field at its 200 Lees Ave. campus. The field will be the new home for the sports dome formerly located at Lansdowne Park, where the Gees Gees used to play. But around three weeks ago, the athletic department was told that problems installing a tie down beam would delay the completion of the field, likely until November. So the team set out to look
for a new venue, examining Carleton University, local high schools and municipal facilities. But when he found out about the Beckwith field, Timm said he was blown away by the “field of dreams.” Timm said he has driven through the area many times on his way to a family cottage, but he had no idea such a football gem was close by. “From a sport perspective, it was just like … ‘Wow.’ Whoever did this had vision

here,” he said. Timm said the Beckwith field would even make an excellent practice facility for a CFL team training camp. For Beckwith Township Reeve Richard Kidd, the move is affirmation that Beckwith Park is “among the best in Ontario.” “I knew that,” he said, adding it is a nice recognition that a team of this calibre from Ottawa decided to come to Lanark County despite looking at other facilities in the city. That recognition will surely have economic development spin offs, he noted. Even though it is a longer drive and not in the city the university represents, Beckwith is the best place for home games, Timm said. It’s not too far, the facility is top notch and it has everything the team needs, from appropriately sized change rooms and wireless Internet and ample parking. The bleachers seat about 500 people now and Ottawa U will expand that to 1,500 with temporary bleachers. The university already ran shuttles to take students and fans from the university’s sports complex at 801 King Edward Ave. to Lansdowne Park, and the university will continue to offer shuttles for the longer journey to Beckwith. Timm is hoping fans are diehard enough to make the trek, which realistically won’t be too much longer than the 20 minutes it takes to get to Lansdowne Park. While local
fans will no longer be able to walk to games, Timm said he is hoping that they will be excited to see a different part of the region and to take in football in a new setting. The hospitality from Beckwith officials such as Reeve Richard Kidd has already been tremendous, Timm said, and he is looking forward to working with the township to stir up football fever. From barbecues to offering fundraising opportunities, ticket packages and donations to the community, Timm said the University of Ottawa wants to do what it can to help Beckwith become a true football town. “I think the biggest thing for them is they are getting top-quality Canadian football on a field (where) they have never had it before,” Timm said. “I understand how sport plays a role in rural communities … That’s what is really exciting about this site that may not have presented itself in other areas of the city.” The home opener is set for Sept. 15, beginning at 1 p.m. The Gee-Gees host the defending Vanier Cup champions from McMaster as the start of a strong home schedule which will also include the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks, the Waterloo Warriors and the Western Mustangs. A complete schedule and ticket information is available on geegees.ca. In the meantime, football fanatics can get a bit of a fix on Monday, Aug. 27 when Gee-Gees will feature a training camp practice.

Catholic school board fined for role in death of student Director of education hopes the fine will bring closure to Eric Leighton’s family and school community jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
EMC news - Ottawa’s Catholic school board was fined $275,000 for being responsible for an explosion that killed Mother Teresa High School student Eric Leighton in May 2011. Julian Hanlon, director of education for the board, said a decision was made at the outset to save the community the burden of a trial, so the fine – imposed by justice of the peace Claudette Coulas – was the result of an agreed statement of facts. “We always knew a fine would be attached,” Hanlon said. “We said all along that we hold responsibility. Parents send their kids to our school and it’s our responsibility to keep them safe.” Eric Leighton was cutting into a steel barrel with
a hand grinder when the barrel exploded, killing him and injuring several others. A Ministry of Labour investigation found the barrel had been washed out with a flammable cleaner. The barrel had been stored with its caps closed prior to the class project, allowing flammable vapours to accumulate inside the barrel. During cutting a spark from the grinder ignited the vapours, causing the explosion. The investigation also found that the school board did not have adequate review and assessment procedures in place to ensure work on drums or containers could be carried out safely. The board pleaded guilty to failing, as an employer, to provide information, instruction and supervision to the teacher concerning
safe work practices and recognition of the hazards associated with the class project. The board is also responsible for paying a 25 per cent victim surcharge, required under the Provincial Offences Act, bringing the total amount owed to $343,750. In the first semester of the 2011-12 school year, Mother Teresa didn’t offer shop class. Hanlon said he believes the class resumed in the final semester and if not, it would be offered during the coming school year. “The teacher has not returned to work but we have other qualified staff that could run the course,” he said. Hanlon said he hoped the settlement would bring some closure to Leighton’s family and the school community. “This was a tragedy and I feel for the family,” he said.

Physiotherapy & Broken Bones Helping you get on the mend! By: Your Local Family Physiotherapy Team Ah, winter! Ice, snow, and freezing rain, and the resulting slip, falls and broken bones. If you have recently experienced the pain of a broken or fractured limb, you may be interested what can be done to help speed up your recovery. Casts can be on for 6 to 8 weeks, often result in muscle atrophy (shrinkage), joint stiffness, and difďŹ culty in completing day to day activities. Initial swelling and pain associated with being in a cast can be eased with the use of ice and elevation. Position yourself to have the casted limb resting on pillows, and higher than your heart. While
in the cast, a physiotherapist can provide exercises to keep the rest of your body strong, teach you how to use crutches, and give advice regarding daily activities you can perform safely. Once your cast has been removed, it is important to get your limb moving. Ankle and leg stiffness can make walking and stair climbing difďŹ cult, and affect your standing balance. Shoulder, elbow and wrist stiffness can make simple tasks like eating, writing, and brushing your hair a chore. A physiotherapist can help you regain movement, balance, strength and function in the
affected limb. Physiotherapists also keep track of your range of motion and strength, letting you track your progress over time.
If you are interested in accelerating your recovery, call your local Family Physiotherapist today to book an appointment.

career woman who has remained active over the years, including as a key member of the local Stephen Lewis Foundation Grandmothers group that climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in 2007, realized that her story could help others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After having thought about it, if I can inspire other people to be able to do what I do on a daily basis, then so much the better,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always great to have someone to look at and say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If they can do it, I can do it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I have those people.â&#x20AC;? She is inspired by her husband. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look at Michael and think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the one whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sitting in the wheelchair day in and day out, going blind, going through pain with ulcers and what not,â&#x20AC;? said Lalonde. The role of caregiver is ever-changing and the level and type of care Michael has needed has varied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has changed significantly over the course of the years. Some periods itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been more. Some times heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been more independent,â&#x20AC;? said Lalonde. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all depends on how well heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feeling. Bathing, food preparation, medication, all tasks are part of the daily life of a caregiver. A bilateral amputation over the course of the winter certainly threw a curve bar at the couple. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kidney recently failed and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now on dialysis, which has seemed to improve his condition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He looks healthy; he feels a lot stronger,â&#x20AC;? said Lalonde. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When his kidney was failing, it was tough going. Right now, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well and we take one day at a time, one battle at a time and we struggle through.â&#x20AC;? TEAM EFFORT
The challenges the Mansfields face, they face together. Married in 1991, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a team effort when it comes to making decisions and getting the most of out of life. See GISELE, page 51

Gisèle Lalonde, a true hero in the home Heroes in the Home program recognizes caregivers’ kindness Continued from page 50
“When he’s depressed I become depressed,” said Lalonde. “And he’s usually the one who gets us out of those types of spirals.” Part of dealing with things involves the realization that there will be ups and downs. “It’s not on a daily basis, but certainly on an annual basis, there’s three or for periods of real highs and extreme lows.” VITAL SUPPORT
Lalonde can’t say enough about the support she’s received over the years, from medical professionals, her employers, her community, her friends. Tina Cuerrier, an Arnpriorbased nurse who cared for Michael from around 200408, filed the nomination and Lalonde said she’s had great experiences with the many nurses and physicians they’ve met on their journey. Lalonde maintains a fulltime job at the National Arts Centre. “They’ve been extremely supportive through all of this,” she said. “They are truly amazing. They’re heroes in
my life.” Her fellow volunteers and climbers in the Grandmothers campaign are a great source of inspiration, too, and it’s keeping a sense of self intact that has made it possible to get this far, said Lalonde. “It has a lot to do with who you are, as well,” My mother did a great job of raising me. I have a giving personality to

got wonderful neighbours who will drop almost anything they’re doing when I call for assistance. They are a wonderful source of support. That in itself is really a source of strength for me because I know that (if) I need something I know there’s somewhere I can go – my family, my friends my neighbours. Just knowing that is enough to get you through a day.” The CCAC is also a great resource, said Lalonde. “I’ve had to call my account manager, crying on the phone saying, ‘I can’t handle this, I can’t do this. What do I do, where do I go?’” Very important is something Lalonde first learned when Michael had his stroke. “Taking care of myself is top of the list, making sure I’m healthy to make sure I can look after Michael,” she said.

HEROES IN THE HOME
The Heroes in the Home program recognizes those caregivers whose kindness and commitment has allowed someone facing the challenge of age, illness or disability to live a fuller life in the community. Family members, friends, community volunteers, personal support workers, case managers, nurses, therapists
or other health care professionals are all eligible for the annual award. Nominees will be honoured during one of three special award ceremonies in Ottawa (Nov. 27), Cornwall (Nov. 28), and Pembroke (Nov. 29). Heroes in the Home is now in its third year. In 2011, 135 people were honoured around the region, and the event has become an important public platform for raising awareness on vital issues related to caregivers. The Canadian Caregiver Coalition estimates that in terms of unpaid caregivers alone, approximately four million persons provide upwards of 80 per cent of the care needed by those with chronic conditions. It is estimated that caregivers contribute more than five billion dollars of unpaid labour annually to the health care system. An aging population is expected to put further demands on caregivers.

City Councillor, Kanata North REMINDER - PUBLIC MEETING RE: 1131 TERON ROAD, MONDAY AUGUST 27TH, 7 – 10 PM, MLACAK CENTRE I have met with City staff to discuss this proposal and the format for the public meeting. I can inform you that staff told me that they have many questions and concerns over the proposal as submitted. I have been asked to be the moderator for the meeting so I will try to give everyone who wants to ask questions or make comments an opportunity to speak. The basic format of the meeting will be: a presentation by the owner’s consultants; comments by staff on the process laid out in the Planning Act; and resident questions and comments. An additional week for comments, to be forwarded to City staff, will be provided following the meeting so you can add or make initial comments following the meeting. It will likely be late October or early November when this proposal will be considered by the City’s Planning Committee. I have not yet submitted my comments as I want to hear input from the public at the meeting first, but I can say that I find this proposal out of character for our community and I cannot support it as submitted. If you can’t attend the meeting, you have until the end of August to send your comments to the City planner at Marc.Magierowicz@ottawa.ca with a copy to Marianne.Wilkinson@ottawa.ca.

BEAVER DECEIVER For many years, City staff have been clearing the culvert under the Goulbourn Forced Road of branches placed there by beavers. This year the beavers decided to build their home at the mouth of the culvert, blocking drainage which could result in flooding of the road. The ‘deceiver’ is a devise that lets the beaver stay while protecting the road. The fenced in area will protect the culvert from blockage, and the beavers are expected to rebuild their dams at the base of the fence instead of in the culvert, thus maintaining flow capacity and protecting the road. The black tubing is for two steams of water to convey normal summer flows through any beaver dam to the opening of the culvert. The outlets will be cut down to the level of water once the beavers have rebuilt at the fence. The cages around the outlets are not traps but to keep the beaver from blocking them. See the photo of the beaver checking them out on my website.
All Day Car Show
There has been no draining of the wetland prior to the work; this low water level is a result of the drought conditions we’ve experienced this summer. These deceivers are also found in Gatineau Park.

EMC news - The federal government has taken an important step towards helping millions of suffering children and their families in West Africa with the announcement of a matching charitable donations plan, says World Vision Canada’s president and CEO Dave Toycen. The federal government has agreed to match charitable donations made by Canadians to registered charities working to provide humanitarian relief to West Africa on a dollar-fordollar basis. The period for the matching donations will run until Sept. 30. World Vision Canada and other charitable organizations will then be eligible to apply for funding from the government of Canada from the matching donations fund to be used for both immediate relief projects, as well as long-term development programs that will help people in West Africa become better prepared to handle future food emergencies. World Vision Canada encourages Canadians to learn more about the crisis in the Sahel region of West Africa by visiting www.worldvision.ca.

Study drought impact before giving help: farmers Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Local farmers are affected by the drought in different ways, so any help the city can give will have to reflect that, producers say. After visiting the Navan Fair over the Aug. 10 weekend, Mayor Jim Watson sent a memo asking city manager Kent Kirkpatrick to look at ways the city could “dig a bit deeper to provide whatever extra measure of help may be possible” for drought-stricken producers. The city’s finance and economic development committee will examine options on Aug. 27. Thom van Eeghen of the Elk Ranch in West Carleton said his herd will likely have
to be reduced by 30 per cent by the spring because he will almost certainly run out of feed. He is already using his winter stores of food for his elk, van Eeghen said. While his operation is under pressure, van Eeghen said the city should undertake a thorough study to find out the magnitude of the issue before attempting to find a solution. He is advocates looking to other municipalities to find out how they have offered assistance. While cash crops are suffering, market produce isn’t doing too poorly, according to Chris Rochon of Rochon Gardens in Edwards. The Rochons have an irrigation system for their fruit and vegetable fields as well as
farmers are usually reluctant to come to the city with their hand out, so it’s sometimes hard to judge if they could use help and how much. “Farmers don’t necessarily talk about their issues,” Moffatt said. But it’s important to dig down and find out what the impact could be, since farming is a significant industry in Ottawa, he said. Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, chairman of the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee, called the mayor’s request “a bold and much-needed move.” Thompson said the drought has affected different areas of the city in different ways, not to mention different types of farms, so that must be reflected in any solution the city manager brings forward.
greenhouses so they have been able to draw on a nearby river to ensure their eight hectares of crops don’t die. “We’re one of the fortunate ones,” he said. The constant need to rotate irrigation systems will result in higher costs at the end of the year, Rochon said. That might be balanced out by increased revenue if there is more demand for their produce due to other producers’ smaller yields, but it’s too early to say, he added. That’s why it will be important for the city manager to bring back a detailed report, said Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt. “It may not be 100 per cent clear what those issues are yet,” he said. Part of the challenge is that
The east end has suffered more than other sections of the city, Thompson said, while his ward has fared better. RELIEF
The way Thompson sees it, the only option to help farmers financially is to offer deferrals on property taxes. But that’s something the city already does through its farm grant program. “Municipally, I don’t know if there is much more we can do,” Thompson said. The mayor’s memo mentioned the possibility of adapting the farm grant program to more quickly assist farmers who are in the most desperate situations. If nothing else, the city can spread the word about the program to ensure more farmers
know they can take advantage of it, Thompson said. Rochon said the city might want to look at a way to help farmers with a more long-term solution, such as grants to help them to invest in irrigation systems. He said even that could still be a risky move if wetter weather in the future makes the systems redundant. There will be other opportunities to discuss the issue and advocate on farmers’ behalf, Thompson said. Earlier this week, Thompson met with other member of Rural Ontario Municipalities Association as part of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario. Those groups will likely send recommendations to the provincial and federal governments, Thompson said.

Aries, you may have to put your feelings on the line if you are to gain the respect of someone important to you. Although it may feel uncomfortable, forge ahead. Taurus, some light will be shed on a problem from a past relationship this week. This will strengthen your current relationships with family and friends. Expect a lot of passion and adventure this week and for the foreseeable future, Gemini. Talk to your partner about his or her desires as well. Celestial energy will rejuvenate and reenergize you, Cancer. If things have been a little bit boring at home, someone you meet might just provide the spark you need. You can find many inspirational forces around you, Leo, which will aid you in making tough decisions. Pay special attention to an overheard conversation. Virgo, you may find yourself on the path to some exciting places if you hang out with the right people this week. This is not a time to back out; act outside of your comfort zone.

Don’t put any limits on your love life, Scorpio. Even a relationship that has withstood the test of time can still prove exciting, spontaneous and adventurous. You may find that the energy surrounding you is just a bit overwhelming, Sagittarius. This is remedied by simply staying out of the limelight for a few days. It’s the little things that will catch your attention this week, Capricorn. A small detail, a particular color, a note in a song. If others overlook it, you’ll probably zone in on it. Expect some surprises when attending a get-together with family and friends. An interesting person comes into your life to provide some inspiration. Pisces, a situation arises that forces you to think outside the box. Make decisions promptly but wisely, and you’ll be happy you did.
