EMC news - After 13 years in the community, the Kanata Environmental Network is powering down. Julie Gourley, core team leader for the organization, sent an email to members on Saturday, June 2, stating that the KEN team came to the decision last March. In an interview on June 5, Gourley said KEN has no legal status and changes to the laws for not-for-profits make it difficult for new environmental groups to form. “We were sort of too small to become a big not for profit,” said Gourley. “But I don’t want people to feel despondent … The energy from KEN – other things have grown out of it.” The team donated its remaining funds of $1,300 to the Kanata Food Cupboard, the Kanata North Community Garden Association and the Kanata Group. “There are many, many initiatives and small groups in Kanata working towards sustainability,” said Gourley, adding she is planning to continue the website and newsletter to support other groups.

EMC news – Capital Hoedown won’t be held at Walter Baker Park this summer, after the city pulled its three-day special events licence when the festival failed to pay $150,000 still owing for municipal services.

But the event’s organizer, Concert International Inc., said it will relocate the country music festival to a large private site located only “minutes” away from the original venue. “Until all the details are finalized we cannot announce the new location,” Denois Benoit, president of Concert International said in a press release on Tuesday, June 5. “We are pleased with the site and the setting is ideal. We expect an official announcement confirming the new location this week.” The festival will remain a three-day event, said Benoit, adding that changes to the artist lineup would soon be announced.

“We can assure everyone that there will be favourable additions to the lineup that fans will be pleased with,” he said. Anyone not satisfied with the changes to the line-up or festival is entitled to a full refund, said Benoit. Refunds will be available starting June 19 from their original place of purchase, he said. Concert International lost its original site for the festival at Walter Baker Park after it failed to meet a payment deadline of Thursday, My 31, set by the City of Ottawa.

The company told the city it made a wire transfer of $150,000 to the city’s account on May 24, said city spokesperson Barre Campbell in an email statement. But the municipality’s finance department discovered over the next week that no money had been sent, prompting it to issue a payment deadline o on May 31 at 4 p.m.. “Capital Hoedown organizers have not met that condition,” said Campbell in the email statement. “Therefore, the city has terminated the special event agreement and

Capital Hoedown organizers will not have the authorization to proceed with this event on city property.” Concert International Inc. did not return several phone calls by the Kourier-Standard for comment. The country music festival had already been hit with the cancellation of several bigname acts including Sheryl Crow, Terri Clark and Reba McEntire. The concert, scheduled for Aug. 10 to 12, has sold out of single-day tickets on its website, but three-day tickets are still on sale. Kanata South Coun. Allan

Hubley said he supports city staff’s decision to pull the country music festival’s special event licence. “The city has granted a number of extensions to them from the start of the process,” he said. “I support the staff position that they had run out of extensions. At some point if you’re serious, you have to be at the table.” Losing the concert will hurt west-end businesses such as restaurants and hotels the most, added Hubley. “It’s a lost opportunity for us,” he said. “It would have been great to have a nice event like this in the west end.”

Gourley also plans to continue her work in sustainability. “I haven’t lost my passion or interest,” she said. “I’m not exactly sure what I will do next, but I think it will have something to do

A.Y. Jackson students fundraise for Kiva

Aaron Hooper reads the palm of Andrew Coates, one of the games organized by the international business class for Carnival for Kiva. blair.edwards@metroland.com

An international business class at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School learned to weather the bad winds and occasional storms of organizing a fundraiser on Friday, June 1. The Glen Cairn students were hard at work setting up game booths outside the Lion Dick Brule Community Centre Friday afternoon when it started to rain. Bill Lin, the student leader of the group of 25 Grade 12 students, spent the hour leading up to the event directing his classmates and 25 volun-

teers to set up the event. The students knew it was going to rain, said Lin, but decided to push ahead with the event anyway. “We felt if we did it inside we wouldn’t get as many people as possible,” he said. International business teacher Mark Hoogenraad said the fundraiser is the class’s end-of-the-year project, worth 15 per cent of their grade. The class researched Kiva, a non-profit organization that allows individuals to provide small loans to entrepreneurs in Third World countries. Since it started in 2005, Kiva has loaned more than

$300 million to help low-income families improve their lives. A.Y. Jackson is ranked

booths run by clubs, sports teams and volunteers. Aaron Hooper ran a fortune-teller’s booth, a group of students managed the event’s sound system and Lesley Converse and Paul Benoit sold baked goods. Students from three elementary schools in Glen Cairn and Bridlewood were invited

to attend the event, which ran from 2:30 to 8 p.m. Children were invited to play a variety of games including a bean bag toss and a pond fishing game. Local businesses provided gift cards for an auction and the class purchased many of the game prizes at a Glen Cairn dollar store.

third in Canada and 19th worldwide for the most money loaned by a school. The class then mapped out a strategy to organize and run a fundraiser for the charity, with students taking on a variety of roles including marketing and publicizing the event. “A lot of times in business, we just talk about it, whereas this is something they can actually go out and do,” said Hoogenraad. The class worked on the project since February, and has held a variety of fundraisers, including an event where school vice-principal Rob Anderson dyed his hair blue to help pay for supplies and equipment at the carnival. Families were invited to the June 1 event, with game

to create an inspiring video about people living with type 1 diabetes, educating the public about the disease. “I don’t mind if people know if I have diabetes because it is a part of me now but sometimes I feel like it makes me stand out,” said Shaylah Mahoney. “I play a lot of soccer and even that is harder. I always have to watch my glucose when I’m playing and I have to take off my insulin pump. And if my insulin is high I can still play, but it means taking it easy and not eating any of the oranges on the sidelines.” The video contest was created to run side by side with the 18th annual Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes, a national event run in 70 communities across the country. For Shaylah, this walk isn’t only the way to a cure, but a door to a future. “A cure wouldn’t give me back any of my childhood, but it would give me a future,” said Shaylah. “It would give me a future where I can get popcorn at the movies if I wanted to and live without the fear of fainting in gym class.” Type 1 diabetes, the most severe form of the non-preventable autoimmune disease, strikes children and adults suddenly and lasts a lifetime. With almost 300,000 Canadians living with this disease, Mahoney – diagnosed at the age of six – said she does not remember a time where she

With the campaign motto “one step at a time,” Terry Nemeth, vice president of business at Telus, a national telecommunications company, said the walk will see over 48,000 participants and will raise “large funds” that will go straight towards helping advancements in research at the diabetes foundation. “We expect that this year will be similar to last year, with a goal of $7.9 million,” said Nemeth. “It keeps going up every year. Even without good weather, a lot of the donations have been pledged already. The walk gets bigger every year. It’s a realistic goal – and a lot of money to a fantastic cause.” Apart from the walk, Nemeth said there will be booths organized to show families the new technology and equipment developed to help those with diabetes as well as a barbeque after the walk. “A lot of the people that run are families that have a child or adult in the family with diabetes,” said Nemeth. “They are participating and showing their stories and discussing how they’re coping.” To join the walk, visit www. jdrf.ca/walk or join walk day on June 10 in Queen Juliana Park by the Dows Lake pavilion. People can sign up individually, in teams of family and friends, or as organizational teams and walk five or 10 kilometers. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the walk begins at 10 a.m.

Vision loss common: study

50 COCKBURN STREET

RICHMOND - $334,900.

EMC news - One in seven Canadian adults may be living with some form of vision loss, much of which could be corrected. That data was part of a study released by CNIB and the University of Waterloo’s School of Optometry as part of Vision Health Month. The Canadian Uncorrected Refractive Error Study (CURES) is the first population-based estimate of the prevalence of vision loss and blindness in Canada. A group of 768 Brantford, Ont., residents between age 39 and 94 attended a vision screening by an eye doctor at the CNIB office. The study found that participants who had a longer time lapse since their last eye exam were more likely to have vision loss. “This study really drives home the importance of getting regular eye exams,” said Dr. Lillian Linton, President of the Canadian Association of Optometrists.

No guarantees in life, including our pensions

he journey from birth to old age is littered with well intended promises. Many are kept, but many vanish in a puff of smoke or in the battle against a life threatening disease and lately, in the destruction of a pension fund. There are few guarantees in life, but socially, we in Canada have been raised to believe that at the very least our final days will be supported, hopefully, in a

minimum way by some kind of pension. The ability to grow a private pension may be out of reach at the moment for many Canadians, so the Canada Pension Plan along with Old Age Security for many Canadian workers is all that there is. Of course if you start putting away a few dollars each month starting just a few minutes after you are born you may or may not have enough money stashed away

when you turn 65 to get by. News that the Conservative government was ready to tweak OAS created quite a stir. Many experts shouted at the government to leave well enough alone, that OAS was and continues to be in great shape. Others applauded the government for being brave enough to tinker with a Canadian icon of tremendous popularity and importance. Old age security and CPP are

pension icons, we as Canadians believe them to be part of the intricate Canadian weave. Using the example of dire economic situation in Europe and the failing pension funds there is at the very best a mistake. It is like comparing apples and oranges. The federal government has chosen a path of austerity for all of us in its latest budget, but that does not mean it is a perfect path. It is all about choices and the ones that have been made for

us regarding OAS may be a mistake. Part of the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe for economic stability in the future includes several strategies including tinkering with pensions. But they are fragile, just like the citizens they are designed to help. Canada has a very different economic reality compared to Europe. While no one in Canada is completely safe from economic disasters and employment glitches, such as the recent

plan to downsize thousands of public service jobs across the land, these kinds of strategies are problematic. We in Canada have a little more wiggle room than our European cousins, but not all that much. Saving money by extending the age when the OAS kicks in, according to some experts is folly, unnecessary and politically dangerous. Comparing our pension reality with those enjoying a pension in Greece is silly.

History alive and well in small towns CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

was out in Glengarry a couple of weekends ago for the 50th anniversary of the Glengarry Pioneer Museum at Dunvegan. It was a great occasion, beautiful day, sun shining on the flowers and grass around the preserved old buildings that make up the museum, a few people dressed up in period costume, a cake made to resemble the oneroom schoolhouse that is a recent addition to the museum. What was most striking was to see how a group of people in a community, in a county, have embraced their history and made it part of their present-day life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that we may not see so much in cities, although each city has its history buffs and history projects, many of them quite impressive. But cities are made up largely of people who did not grow up in them, whereas there is a much greater continuity in smaller rural communities. Mind you, some of the most enthusiastic supporters of the Glengarry museum are from away too. They arrive, instantly immerse themselves in the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history and hurry to take part in it too. Once you are exposed to it, you realize that much of what we know about life in an earlier Canada is from the work of amateur historians, the ones who toil away for the sheer love of it. These are the the ones who keep track of their ancestors, who make a point of knowing who the pastor was in 1888, when the hotel opened, when it closed and when the school was moved from this patch of land to that one. Along with the amateur historians are the

preservationists, if you can call them that, those who keep the old books, the old farm implements, the old kitchen utensils. These show up in the local museums and give people a sense of what people once did day to day. The professional historian, the academic historian can give you a sense of the big picture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the wars, the political issues, the major social and economic trends. But we owe the amateur, the local historian and the local museum for our sense of what it was like to be alive back then. Hey, the doorways were narrower, the ceilings lower, the church didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always have an organ and all those stumps had to be got of the way somehow before any work could be done in the fields. Never mind the wars in Europe. Never mind who was king of England at the time. We can also thank the fiction writers of the day, of whom there were far fewer than there are now. Here it is time for the full disclosure that the guy who wrote Glengarry School Days was my grandfather, which is one reason for me being in an old one-room school house in Dunvegan. In that book and others of the turn of the century and earlier, the stories reveal much about community and family life, the attitudes toward education and religion, the way children played and grown-ups worked. People, as we discover from reading the old books, went through the same range of emotions and problems as we do now but their surroundings were vastly different, their challenges both more and less daunting. Keeping warm was a lot more difficult in those days. Staying addiction-free was a lot easier. Kids probably took a lot more physical risks back then. But they live in a riskier environment now. In any community, large or small, there are some who are closely connected to their history and try to keep it alive. Everybody else is on Twitter apparently. Some day that may wind up in a museum too, but for the moment we should give thanks to the countless volunteers across the country who live in the past and keep it alive.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse past two decades. Despite the multitude of studies showing a link between lack of physical activity and poor academic performance, the province has continued to relegate gym time and outdoor recreation to the margins. But with the number of overweight and obese children on the rise – about 25 per cent of children in Canada are overweight -- governments are looking for ways to tackle this problem. In Ontario, a panel has been charged with reducing the number of obese children by 20 per cent over the next five years. It’s an ambitious public health goal. The appointees will have to examine everything from genetics to diet. But perhaps the simplest measure is at their fingertips. Currently, just seven per cent of school-aged children get the 60 minutes of recommended daily exercise. Kids spend more than 35 hours each week

at the dinner table. Instead of trying to incorporate physical activity into a day packed with learning, why not try to fit some learning into a physically active day? The kids, their parents and our overburdened health care system will be thankful for it.

Every day I look forward with a mix of excited anticipation and dread to the three o’clock school bus pick-up. My two boys – now six and seven-years-old – are wonderful, but they alight from the bus exhausted and antagonistic. They’re so tired that a run around the park becomes fraught with petty arguments and avoidable injuries. They’re so hostile that getting them to sit still and do their homework is a gargantuan task. The problem is one I often face myself after sitting at a computer all day: They’re brains are tired, but their bodies are filled with a kind of nervous energy. It’s the result of being pent up all day in class, on the bus and standing in lines in the hallway.

By comparison, the community summer camp my children attend is full of both educational and recreational activities. They’re so active, they learn without realizing they’re learning. The day begins with free time in the gymnasium for up to an hour, after which the facilitators tell me they have no problem getting the kids to sit for 45-minutes to do a craft. Then it’s a 40-minute, roundtrip walk to the swimming pool, where they learn all kinds of song lyrics en route and swim for an hour. A bit of lunch with a story, some down time to play Lego and they’re back outside for a game of soc-

what you should know about Protect your hearing: noise-induced hearing loss By: Injury and Substance Misuse Prevention Team Ottawa Public Health

Symptoms of damage include: distorted or muffled sound; difficulty understanding speech or a ringing, buzzing, roaring or rushing sound in the ear. If this happens to you, speak to your doctor.

Every day, you are exposed to sounds that can affect your hearing. Some of these sounds can cause permanent loss of hearing. Knowing how to protect your ears will help make sure hearing loss doesn’t happen to you.

Sound is measured in units called decibels (dB). Sounds that humans can hear are measured on a scale from 0 to 140. Sounds at or above 85 dB can damage your ears and 140 db causes sudden permanent damage.

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is hearing damage caused by loud sounds. It can occur as a result of a one-time exposure to an excessively loud sound or by ongoing exposure over a longer period of time. Loud noises can originate from a number of different sources such as power tools, outdoor power equipment, music at festivals, concerts or bars or music through speakers or headphones.

NIHL occurs in two stages. In the first stage, the individual will experience a brief decrease in hearing. • Wear properly fitted hearing protection devices such as earplugs At this point the damage is not permanent and can • Sit or stand away from the source of loud noise be reversed with rest. If this temporary damage like speakers at concerts or loud machinery repeatedly occurs or is not given time to heal, it will • Help your ears recover after being exposed to eventually result in permanent damage. loud noises by spending time in a quiet place • Limit time spent around excessive noise

Ugandan children perform in Bridlewood Adam Feibel

A full house at Bridlewood Community Church of the Nazarene took to singing, clapping and even a bit of dancing along to the traditional and joyful sights and sounds of Africa. The Watoto Children’s Choir performed and spread the word of Jesus through their uplifting songs and stories May 24 at the church on Stonehaven Drive. This is the first tour for the

21 Ugandan children in the choir, which has taken them around Canada for the last five months. Not only does the choir allow the children to travel and perform across the globe, it also acts as the face of Watoto, a holistic care program founded in 1994 by Gary and Marilyn Skinner through the Watoto Church in Kampala, Uganda. The program was created in response to the overwhelming number of orphaned chil-

dren and vulnerable women in Uganda and acts by rescuing a child and raising each one as a leader in their chosen sphere of life so that they in turn will rebuild their nation, according to the Watoto website. The choir presents those ideologies through colourful song and dance and reflects the idea of giving each child an opportunity to become a leader and to believe in positive change. “They realize they’re very important. It’s built their con-

fidence. It’s an amazing thing to see,” Sam Kimera said in an interview prior to the concert. The choir leader had been sleeping on a couch in the church, resting up for the show following a long ride on the Watoto tour bus. “Deep down they get to realize that they can be something great, beyond their tough past,” he added. These are pasts that hold stories of poverty, hunger and loss. See CONCERT, page 14

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

Hydro Ottawa owns and operates three generating stations at Chaudière Falls. The Generating Station No. 2 was originally built in 1891 by industrialist E.H. Bronson. The Bronson family was a leader in lumber-related industry in the Ottawa Valley. In 2001, the station was completely rebuilt. All of the generators were rewound, the turbines were replaced, the channels and dam structures were rehabilitated and the station was completely automated. All heritage elements of the station were preserved, with the equipment looking as it did 100 years ago.

Check out what’s happening:

Hydro Ottawa provided a rare glimpse inside Canada’s oldest operating run-of-the-river hydroelectric generating station on June 2 and 3rd. Hundreds turned out for free tours of the historic generating station.

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

Throughout the concert, the children told their own personal stories and about how they thank Jesus for giving them a way out. Kimera explained that the choir’s message extends twofold: it’s about how the organization has accomplished everything from the help of Jesus, he said, and about letting people know how they can get involved with Watoto. “The choir provides us a great avenue for telling people about the situation and for raising awareness,” he explained. What the audience saw that evening was a whole different group of children than it was six months ago. “If you’d seen them then,” Kimera said, “you probably wouldn’t believe it.” He and the rest of the choir have been together for almost a year now. The group seen performing at Bridlewood had spent five months training and another five months on the road. They’ll spend another month travelling and performing before handing the reigns over to a new set of Watoto children. The BCCN performance was the first of the Watoto Children’s Choir’s five Ottawa stops that weekend, with another at the Kanata Pentecostal Church on May 27.

0HULYDOH 5G 2WWDZD 21 . * -

for a washed culvert: we had the gravel pit and he had the car. Not a penny changed hands. Just a handshake in the back yard on a spring day in the 1930s, the way most deals were done back then. We children were thrilled beyond belief. Imagine: a car, our first. It certainly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much to look at. In an attempt to fix up a battered front fender, the first owner had painted it green. Of course, the rest of the car was black. Mother thought the paint was from leftovers from painting a pump or old lawn furniture, which seemed to be the colour everyone used back then. Father said the odd fender gave the car a nice touch. When we got the car, one back door was missing. The farmer said it was somewhere in a ditch along the Northcote Side Road and he was pretty sure we could find it on one of our trips into Renfrew. He said it flew off one day when he hit a rut. Sure enough, Earl spotted it hidden in the long grass just after Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm about three kilometres up the road.

Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories Father tied it on with binder twine, which meant it could never be opened. It stayed forever tied to the frame of the old Model T. The brothers just climbed in over the top of it. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a big car and it was a never-ending challenge for us five kids, Mother and Father to all get in. It meant that someone had to sit in the front seat between Mother and Father and the rest of us had to pile into the back, with one of us crouched down on the floor. You would think none of us wanted this floor spot, but to me it was the best place in the entire Model T. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because there was a hole in the floor as big as a saucer and you could sit there and watch the road go by. In fact, we often fought over the

spot. So Mother, in her usual organized manner, drew up a chart and whose turn it was depended entirely on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list. Although the old Model T was supposed to make our lives easier on the farm, it had several drawbacks which became the bane of Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existence. Getting it started was one of them. I lived in constant dread that one day Father was going to lose an arm cranking the car. More often than not, the car balked when he was cranking it and his arm would fly with such a force that it is a wonder it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wrenched from its socket.

lever or the choke, whichever Father ordered from the front of the car. And once the motor caught, that person, would fly out of the car, crawl over the tied-on door, and be ready to take off with the rest of us. Flat tires were expected Father always carried a little kit with him and was always able to fix the tire in jig time and have us back on the road before you could blink an eye. One time, we actually lost an entire wheel. The car came to an abrupt halt as the shaft holding the wheel dug into the dirt road. The three brothers exited the car the same way they got in, over the door,and hoisted the car, with Mother, Audrey and I still in it. Father slammed the wheel back on, screwed the bolts tight, and we were again on our way. Driving the Model T at night was a challenge. The two headlights were useless. All they really did was alert other drivers that we were on the road. So Father rigged up a lantern which could be anchored to the radiator at the front of the car, which was a great improvement over the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lights. The Model T was certainly a step up from the horse and buggy. But to us five kids, the car was like a status symbol. Other neighbours had newer cars, but our first car, to us, meant that we had moved out of the horse and buggy age and into a modern world.

Aggressive drivers top concern citywide: survey Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Many Ottawa residents correctly believe crime in the city is staying stagnant, according to the results of a recent survey. Conducted by the Ottawa Police Service, the survey showed that 47 per cent of Ottawa residents believe crime levels have broadly stayed the same in the past three years. The finding was one of many that came to light after the results of the survey were made public at a meeting of the police services board on May 28. Aggressive driving the top concern

For the first time, the top concern on the annual survey was the same no matter

if people are thinking about their own neighbourhood or the entire city: speeding cars and aggressive driving. Sixty-four per cent of respondents said that’s that top issue of concern in their neighbourhood, while 76 per cent it’s the most pressing issue for police citywide. That has been the top concern for people within their own neighbourhoods in the last three surveys, but in previous years, residents were more worried about drugs (80 per cent in 2008) and youth crime (79 per cent in 2006) when it came to the city as a whole. Drugs are still considered a major citywide issue, with 74 per cent of respondents citing drugs as their top concern. Of interest, people who responded to the survey were more concerned about crimes

in the city as a whole than about crimes in their own neighbourhoods.

Most people – 57 per cent – felt crime had stayed the same in their neighbourhood, 22

per cent thought it increased in their neighbourhood and while 20 per cent felt it had

decreased. See SURVEY, page 18

For the portion of the survey in which people could put their own suggestions, the most frequent ideas related to boosting visibility of police officers, improving enforcement of traffic violations and increasing interactions with local people. The survey also showed that the proportion of respondents who believe crime is increasing was at its lowest ever: 33 per cent. That’s down from 54 per cent of residents who thought crime was increasing in 2006. While almost 100 per cent of people reported feeling safe in their homes and neighbourhoods during the day, that num-

ber dropped to 81 per cent for those who feel safe during the day downtown, with only 35 per cent saying they would feel safe downtown at night. Bike paths and trails are also considered unsafe at night; only 20 per cent of people say they would feel safe at night, and 73 per cent would feel safe on pathways during the day. Public transit numbers were lower: 68 per cent would feel safe during the day and 26 per cent at night. VICTIMS

Seventeen per cent of people who took the survey said they had been victims of crime in

the past three years. More than half – 55 per cent – of them said they were satisfied or very satisfied with the police response, while 20 per cent were dissatisfied. Satisfaction with the local police service is rated as “very high,” with 81 per cent of respondents indicating they are satisfied and only four per cent responding that they are dissatisfied. Sixty per cent of residents who responded said they have “high or utmost” confidence in the Ottawa Police Service, and 33 per cent have “moderate confidence.” The survey is the city’s sixth since 1995. This year, a total of 3,147 citizens participated in the online survey between Feb. 10 and April 8, representing a response rate of 20.4 per cent (15,464 mailed notifications were sent out).

EMC news - As the city narrows down routes for a western extension of the future lightrail transit line, a new group of residents who want to protect Byron Park is forming. The Friends of Byron Park held their first meeting coincidently the same day the city released an interim report on preferred route for LRT between Tunney’s Pasture westward to Lincoln Fields and continuing on to Baseline Station. The report indicates that city staff have narrowed the top options down to four – a list that does not include the contentious (and popular among many Westboro-area residents) Carling Avenue route. The preferred options were narrowed down from 15 to the following four: • Richmond Road/Byron Avenue via Churchill Avenue • Ottawa River Parkway • Richmond/Byron via Ottawa River Parkway • Richmond/Byron via Rochester Field The 15 options examined for a rapid LRT corridor range in cost from $562 million to $2.5 billion and the four preferred options were the most financially feasible of the bunch, according to a city report.

EMC news - Ottawa researcher Dr. John Bell has been named the 2011 recipient of one of Canada’s most prestigious scientific honours, the Canadian Cancer Society’s Robert L. Noble Prize, which is given for outstanding achievements in cancer research. “Dr. Bell’s pioneering research embodies the excellence and innovation that forms the basis of the Society’s top scientific award – the Robert L. Noble Prize,” says Dr. Martin Kabat, CEO of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Ontario division. “His exciting work in developing oncolytic virus-based cancer therapies is extremely promising and will lead to more effective therapies in the future that will save lives.” Bell is a senior scientist of cancer therapeutics at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and a professor in the departments of medicine and biochemistry, microbiology and immunology at the University of Ottawa. “To be honoured in recognition of the esteemed Canadian scientist, Robert L. Noble, who has made such impressive contributions to how cancer is treated today, empowers me to continue my search for more effective therapies,” says Bell. “I’m delighted to accept this honour and thank the Canadian Cancer Society for maintaining high research standards in this country.” Bell has led a number of important initiatives aimed at developing oncolytic virus-based cancer therapies and evaluating their clinical potential. He has created an oncolytic virus consortium of Canadian laboratory and clinical researchers to explore the potential of virus-based cancer therapies. In addition, Bell directs the biological therapeutics alliance of the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research. In 2011, Bell’s group published a landmark study in the prestigious scientific journal Nature showing, for the first time, that oncolytic vaccinia viruses delivered intravenously can consistently infect and

Kanata –Hazeldean Lions 35 Years of Service

The Lions believe in the concrete, the incremental, the “we’re not big, but we’re small”. They’ve quietly made their mark on our community by raising money in labour-intensive ways ( bingos, euchres, pancake breakfasts) and by using the power of perspiration ( e.g. the “old farts” who personally built the addition to the Lions’ Den – the locale of thousands of parties, programs and meetings). Just to give you a feel for this variety of ventures, some examples from years past:

• 1979: ran the second annual pet show and soap box derby • 1981: re-located the trailer that had been the Hazeldean Library and made it the site of the present Lion Dick Brule community Centre • 1985: Donated $3,000 to the Queensway-Carleton Hospital for a defibrillator, $4,000 to the leader dog school in Oakville, and a community service van to the OPP • 1986 (the year we incorporated): donated a pitching machine to the Kanata Little League and began a continuing partnership with the Community Resource Centre • 1987: Expanded the Lions Community centre by more than 40 square metres at a cost of $24,000 • 1988: funded the Kanata Fire Department booklet “After the fire, what to do” • 1990: Purchased Sparky the Fire Dog, a robotic dog for teaching fire safety

CONGRATULATIONS

• Purchased a community service van for Sparky, donated $18,500 to QCH. R0011421003-0607

Kanata Hazeldean Lions Club on 35 years of Service to the Community

• 1977: first donation made by the Club, to send the Scouts to the Jamboree in Prince Edward Island ( The Scouts continue to be strong partners of the Lions)

Bill Switzer Treasurer Kanata Hazeldean Lions Club

• 1992: Donated $28,000 for the purchase of a 15 passenger van for the community resource centre; committed $15,000 over five years for the expansion of Canine Vision Canada facilities, which supplies dog guides for the hearing, visually and physically impaired. • 1994: Co-ordinates parking at the regional ploughing match • 1995: Held the first auction of stolen property and raised $4,500 for community policing services. • 1995: donated $2,000 toward a chair lift for the seniors’ home on Penfield Drive.

William (Bill) A. Switzer, B.Eng., ABR®

• 1996: Marshalled the Kanata Holiday Parade (been doing it for years!); donated $5,000 to the Lions Home for Deaf People

Sales Representative Coldwell Banker First Ottawa Realty Brokerage

613-831-9628 (office) 613-831-6767 (direct)

• 1998: Renovated the Dick Brule Centre, converted to natural gas heating and installed air conditioning.

Allan Hubley Positive Change

• 2000: Provided a home for the Kanata Youth Centre, which is now used by “the Zone” from WOCRC and the “Kanata Youth Haven Centre”. • 2001: Walk-a-Dog-a-thon raised $5,865 for the Lions guide Dog School. • 2002: Gold sponsor of Kanata Canada Day Celebrations. • 2003: Started community bingos in the Lions Den. • 2005: Operated a BBQ at Sobey’s, a fundraiser for the Makenna Mackie trust fund. Supported the Kanata Terry Fox Run. • 2006: Co-sponsored the Community Lights tour. Donated $1,500 to various community youth, health and welfare requests. Lions like events and programs that bring them face-to-face with neighbours who need their help, Whether it’s a wheelchair for a senior, a vision device for a young adult or a paint job for a youth centre, the Lions are there – because they want to be. Really, holding a euchre for 20 people is not going to bring home a lot of proceeds, but it’s fun and people enjoy it! Lions have distinguished themselves in the community in many ways. Charter Lion Tom Flood served as a City of Kanata councillor and won the 2005 Good Corporate Citizen Award at the Kanata Chamber of Commerce. Charter Lion Graham Ball won the inaugural City of Ottawa Senior Citizen of the Year award in 2002. Lion Peggy Feltmate, of course, was our councillor in Kanata for two terms. Que sera? As we step out into our 36th year we can look back with a lot of satisfaction. Many of our members have passed and we think of them often, and their contribution to Lionism and the community. New members have come on board and have really provided valueadded. But the question has to be – will we attract enough new blood to keep the ship afloat? As is the case with many service clubs there seems to be a culture shift in communities that keeps young people away from the type of work we do. Some would say that the “new generation” is not committed, or worse. We don’t believe that. We know that young people are getting involved in all kinds of ways – either

Kanata, June 12, 2012 – A quick trivia question. What do the Lions and George Lucas have in common? Well, in May, 1977 Mr. Lucas took a chance with a low-budget Sci-Fi action picture that went on to do very well, we are told. And in May 1977 (the 7th to be exact) a group of young men took a chance on a community service organization, the “Hazeldean Lions Club” that has done very well indeed. Just ask the Kanata residents and agencies who have benefitted from the $750,000, or so, raised for them by the Lions and from the thousands of hours of labour provided by the Lions and their colleagues, the Lioness Club, who merged with the Club in 1984.

families. He went on to describe his blunders during training, such as invariably tripping over aircraft pylons and routinely bumping his head on the aircraft. It’s not easy being a teenager these days, he said, but it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from; everyone is given the same chance as a cadet. “There’s no better organization that I know of that’s better than the air cadets,” he said. “Effort is rewarding... and you don’t have to be Superman to succeed in cadets, or the air force for that matter,” he later added. “I mean, if a little guy like me – five-footsix, who trips over stuff and forgets things, and so on – can achieve my goals ... anyone here can achieve their goals.” Proving that the air cadets aren’t always serious business, Volstad pointed out that as he was expecting the cadets in their ranks, he couldn’t help but notice that there were a lot of shinier shoes than his own. “It’s one of those things that’s kind of taboo to point out – the reviewing officer’s shoes aren’t as shiny as the cadets he’s inspecting,” he said. Maj. Dixon took time to congratulate her squadron on a job well done. “Alright, you impressed me. I think you did a fine job,” she told her cadets before announcing a zip-lining trip to Camp Fortune as the squadron’s year-end event, and offering the friendly challenge of convincing the group’s administration officer, Capt. Adrian Schmid, to strap in and soar down the line. Dixon explained how they’ve watched the 872 Squadron grow, and will continue to see new cadets come aboard and bring their own leadership to the forefront. “That’s what this program is about,” she said, “watching other cadets and bringing up the next.”

EMC news - Campers and residents in most of Ontario face greater danger with bears this year because the Ontario government has cut by more than half the number of staff trained to deal with bears, says the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU). The recent Ontario budget directed the Ministry of Natural Resources to cut $50 million from its budget. Changes to the Bear Wise education and response program are among the ill-advised cuts, according to OPSEU president Warren Thomas. “The McGuinty Liberals are way off base with claims that government can take this huge step back and make the warding off of bear attacks a personal rather than public responsibility,” says Thomas. “Bears don’t read MNR education materials or heed No Trespassing signs. “Sometimes, despite people’s best efforts, bears pose a danger to humans. Cutting experts out of the mix is hardly the answer.” The MNR has 21 technicians in 15 northern Ontario communities, down from 48 in 25 communities. Ministry cuts mean they will no longer set traps, relocate bears, make on-site visits to landowners who are having conflicts with bears or do public education for schools, day and overnight camps, and outdoor nature groups. People in areas without bear technicians will have to call local or Ontario Provincial Police, depending on where they are. That diverts police resources from other areas, says Ed Evens, president of OPSEU Local 703 in Sioux Lookout. “This is an inappropriate response since police are not trained to deal with wildlife,” Evens says. “We think the

Bridlewood’s St. James greens school grounds Gabrielle Tieman

EMC news – With a little dirt, a lot of trees and some green thumbed teachers, students and greening experts, St. James Catholic School in

James – a kindergarten to grade six school of 330 students – saw their green-plan come into reality as parents, teachers and volunteers planted 18 trees, removed asphalt and built an “outdoor classroom” that can hold a class of over 30 students. An environmentally-focused school, Jennifer Armour, vice-chair of the parent’s council at St. James, said the plan was not only to green the school grounds but to create a space where teachers can take their students and teach in a shaded environment. “We had a hill and a lot of asphalt behind our school,”

said Armour. “So we removed some of the asphalt and dirt, created cedar log seating in a circle and added trees around it. Now teachers can hold outdoor lessons for a class of 30 – if not more.” “The trees are placed to give shade as they grow older,” said Armour. “We worked with an evergreen consultant – they help you with your project in terms of planning and design.” A member of the parent’s council since September 2011, Armour said the greening plan was in action long before she arrived – with money already secured for the trees – but supplementary funding was still needed.

“I applied to two other agencies – the TD Friends of the Environment Fund and the Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds – and they contributed over $7,000,” said Armour. “We as well received a $9,000 greening fund investment from the City of Ottawa and we held a cake auction that raised an extra $1,000,” said Armour. Armour said all it took was an application. The TD Friends of the Environment Fund – a national organization with a grassroots focus that funds local projects dedicated to preserving the environment – and the Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds – a project that helps schools and their

communities create outdoor classrooms and healthy places to play, learn and develop a genuine respect for nature –“were incredibly helpful in not only the funding, but as well showing the school the best placement for trees” and explaining how they would grow with time to create opportune shaded areas. In total, Armour said it took a $17,500 investment, but this is only the beginning. “Our school has a lot of eco-initiatives,” said Armour. “This is the first step. We are looking to enhance some of our other features later down the road.”

Overbrook association reformats meetings Community association wants increased participation Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC community - The Overbrook Community Association is reformatting its meetings in an effort to encourage increased participation by area residents. In the past, the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

meetings have featured not only internal business, such as updates from the treasurer, but information sessions and presentations from the city about upcoming projects, developments and other concerns in the area. These ambitious agendas would often lead to marathon sessions that left little time for input from residents. As a result, the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors elected to reformat their regular meetings at a session on May 24. The new arrangement will see meeting types al-

ternate every other month, with board business being discussed one month and information sessions being presented the next. All meetings are open to the public and take place on the third Thursday of the month, except for December. Agendas will be posted on the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www. overbrook.ca a week in advance of every meeting. All residents of Overbrook are considered members of the association and are encouraged to sign up for official notifications and updates online.

Cam Smedley is all smiles points to a makeshift sign showing directions to past Olympic venues, including the upcoming London 2012 Summer Olympic Games. Smedley will be competing at those games in whitewater slalom in the C-1 category. He was celebrated at a reception at West Carleton Secondary School May 23. 16th place finish at the Markleeburg Germany World Cup, and a 30th place finish at the 2011 World Championships in Bratislava, Slovakia. “I’ve had some good races,” Smedley said. He is not sure yet if he will take part in the opening ceremonies for the Olympic Games because the grand event will be held only two days before his event.

“It will be such an experience to see it all,” Smedley noted. “It is still surreal to me that I am going to the Olympics.” The qualifiers for whitewater slalom take place July 29 and the semi final and finals are set for July 31 and Aug. 1. Smedley is currently in London preparing on the official course, located northeast of the city and then will be

competing in two more World Cup events. He is training with Mike Taylor of Ottawa, who has already qualified for the Olympics in men’s K-1. When at home, Smedley is pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at Carleton University. Several people spoke highly of Smedley at the celebration last week to kick off his Olympic quest.

“We are here to celebrate Cam and his long journey to the 2012 Olympics,” said MC and family friend Matt Bender. “ Lawlor, who knows first hand some of what Smedley is feeling now based on his own Olympic experience, congratulate him and talked about how far he has come. “It is an opportunity to introduce the sport to a whole group of people,” he offered. “White water paddling is much bigger in Europe.” He told Smedley the Olympics will “certainly be the time of your life” and to “enjoy every minute of it.” Family members also spoke about who Smedley is, from being a strong competitor to a good listener. “You have chosen a road and really it is river that has challenged you in a way I never imagined,” said his mother Sherri. “We paddled together and you would follow…we were there in case you needed us. We found the strength and the stamina and the love and the patience to a depth I would have never imagined possible. “And you have grown. You have gotten stronger, overcome your fears and learned to take risks and to love the risks and we knew at that point you would succeed in ways we never expected. And now we follow you. Every stroke, every obstacle takes you further along.” The celebration was also a fundraiser to assist him financially in getting to his Olympic dream. As a result of donations, he can now cover the costs to train and compete in Europe over the next five or so weeks, as well as the training at the London 2012 course. Smedley can now also afford the new boat he ordered for the games. To follow Smedley on his Olympic journey, visit his website at www.CameronSmedley.com.

The TechU.me program was created to encourage students to pursue careers in technology through educational programming and events in Ottawa schools. Students work with industry mentors and their products are designed for younger students in their schools. And like in the real world, the students had to consult with their clients on the design and the application details. McCormick and Lapointe’s app, called Rocket Launch, was designed for Grade 7 students as a curriculum quiz game. “They (the Grade 7 class) really wanted to have a rocket in the app, so we put it in.” McCormick said. “If they get all the questions correct, they get to launch a rocket into a tree.” The goal of the program, McKinlay said is to get students interested in technology at a young age. A number of the industry partners came out to the event to play with the students apps and to help hand out the awards. Patrick Mollins from Research In Motion gave all the students who made apps for the company’s tablet, the BlackBerry Playbook, with a device to keep. Mollins also handed out Playbooks to the other par-

“I think that all these folks have in common they all learned there are lots and lots of exciting opportunity in the tech industry in Ottawa,” said McKinlay. Seven projects were awarded the top prize of a summer job and $1,000. The students, some working as a team, started developing applications, commonly referred t as “apps,” two months ago. One of the winning apps was created by Krista McCormick and Melanie Lapointe, students at All Saints Catholic High School. Both said they knew nothing about app technology going into the project, nor had they wanted to pursue a career in the field. But following their contest win, the girls both agreed software development was a career they were interested in. Lapointe credited the presentation about TechU.me, a program operated by the Ottawa Network for Education, for changing her attitude. “It was horrible, we didn’t know what we were doing, it took a lot of tries to get it to work,” Lapointe said. “At the end of the project, I was happy it was over, I never thought about going into this kind of career, but now, it sounds so interesting.”

March Rural CA to discuss ash borer City forestry services staff member to explain current plans March Rural Community Association

EMC community - The March Rural Community Association will hold a meeting to discuss the emerald ash borer problem at the Old South March Town Hall, located at 821 March Rd. on June 13. The meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. There has been considerable controversy recently regarding how best to respond to the threat of the emerald ash borer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated that there are 75,000 Ash trees on City of Ottawa property alone. Across the city, Ash trees make up approximately 25 per cent of the total tree cover, and so a loss of this magnitude

will be significant. At our June meeting we will have a speaker from the forestry services department of the City of Ottawa who will present the current plan for dealing with this issue on city land. In the urban areas many trees have been cut down and some ash trees have been treated with an injection of tree azin. There is also recent news of a biological solution in the form of wasps whose primary diet consists of the ash borers. There is no plan yet for ash trees on city property in rural areas and along rural roads. In our ward 5 zone, we apparently do not have a widespread problem of infestation - yet. Given the rapid spread of infestation, however, it is essential that rural property owners be informed of their options in order to respond in an informed way.

EMC news - A community action group is organizing a meeting on June 14 to review a recent report which looks at how the United Way Ottawa allocates donor money. The investment and impact review committee, created by United Way Ottawa’s board of directors, recently issued a report on how the organization distributes its money. The report is a response to criticism of the United Way’s new funding criteria, established in 2011, which left what some agencies, service providers and donors felt were gaps in the funding process. Ottawa Community Action, a coalition of community groups and agencies, raised a motion at the United Way annual general meeting in June 2011, calling for a review of the funding processes, investments and its progress toward goals and priorities. Stakeholders, agencies and donors formed the investment and impact review committee in August 2011 and the completed report was released in April. Ottawa Community Action is holding the meeting to discuss the report ahead of this year’s United Way annual meeting. Ottawa Community Action member Chris Ellis is organizing the event. Representatives from the United Way have been invited to attend the meeting. “The implication is for service agencies and donors to understand what is in the report before the AGM and how we can move forward in a positive way,” said Ellis. “It is also an opportunity for service agencies to come out and share the impact of gaps in funding.” In total, 37 recommendations are identified in the report. The United Way has already implemented some of the recommendations in the report, including setting aside a transition fund of $811,000 this year to continue to help ease the transition for agencies no longer funded. In the weeks leading up to the annual general meeting, the organization aims to meet with different agencies to review and explain the committee’s report. The board of directors is also in the process of completing an organizational plan to address all the recommendations over the short-, medium- and longterm.  The Ottawa Community Action meeting on June 14 is open to the public and will take place at Rideau High School from 7 to 9 p.m. The United Way’s annual general meeting will take place on June 21 and members are encouraged to register to attend the event at www.unitedwayottawa.ca.

Beechwood fire site to remain empty michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Efforts to clean up the Beechwood fire site may have to be put on hold indefinitely as an unsettled insurance claim and the prospect of further building demolitions leave the future of the site uncertain. The New Edinburgh Community Alliance had hoped to bring a bit of life to the desolate site by covering up the safety fencing with canvas art boards. “We envisioned scenes from New Edinburgh past and present,” said Joan Mason, president of the alliance. The goal was to place hoardings at the site, but attempts to connect with the owner of the property, Helen Carter, proved unsuccessful and the cost of permits were too expensive. The alliance would have had to pay $1.34 per square meter per day and a $52.63 processing fee for a permit to place the hoardings on the city’s road allowance. The cost to keep the barriers in place for two years would have been too much for the community group. “The idea Joan (Mason) has is a lovely idea, except the reality is it’s not a possibility,” said Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark. Meanwhile, Carter is still trying to sort out insurance claims on the property, which she said may not be settled until the end of June. And whether or not the ex-

isting buildings will be torn down is also still up in the air. According to Carter, the building at 409-411 McKay St. is safe and will not be torn down. Clark, however, said that’s not the case. “That building is not safe, it doesn’t look bad, but it is not safe,” he said. According to a city spokesperson, there are no permit requests or applications to demolish the remaining building on the site. As to what the future holds for the site of the March 2011 fire, a potential sale and subsequent redevelopment of the property may not happen until 2015, Carter said. She would not confirm whether she plans on selling the property or conducting a redevelopment herself. Clark said there is a possibility the insurance claim will be sorted out by mid-June. “If the June 10 date is real, then I would expect the demolition will start immediately,” he said. Meanwhile, part of the traditional local shopping district of Beechwood Avenue remains an empty lot and Mason said she wishes that could change. “It seems rather unseemly leaving the site of former life and commerce so exposed and destroyed,” Mason said. “I suppose we could entwine artificial flowers in the fence, it may not beautify, but it could represent our protest.”

to 48 in 2011 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but that is still a relatively low number, Jennings said. Thirty-two incidents of open alcohol consumption were recorded in 2011, compared to six in 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;ŚPublic drug use and alcohol consumption were clearly more prevalent than during the same period last year,â&#x20AC;? states a report on the 2011 ByWard Market Ambassador Program presented to the Ottawa police

ByWard Market intoxication issues overblown: BIA Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - An analysis of activity observed by â&#x20AC;&#x153;ambassadorsâ&#x20AC;? in the ByWard Market last summer shows staggering percentage increases in the amount of drug and alcohol use observed, but the numbers

donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come as a surprise to the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s merchant association. Every summer since 1997, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market Management group and the ByWard Market Business Improvement Area hires a group of post-secondary students to fan out across the tourism and entertainment district to help out visitors, pass

out information, network with merchants and keep track of â&#x20AC;&#x153;nuisanceâ&#x20AC;? behaviour. Last summer, the 11 ambassadors saw a marked increase in substance abuse: observed drug use went up 1,100 per cent, while the ambassadors saw a 433 per cent increase in people consuming alcohol in

the ByWard Market. But when you look at the hard numbers, the behaviour isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much of a change, said Jasna Jennings, executive director of the BIA. While only four instances of drug use were observed by ambassadors in the summer of 2010, that number jumped

services board on May 28. While the ambassadors identified public drug use and intoxication as an issue, Jennings says member businesses and tourists she has spoken to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;nothingâ&#x20AC;? about the matter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have people running to the hills saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh my God, I saw an intoxicated person and the whole place is falling apart,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Jennings said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really not hearing that.â&#x20AC;?

Our goal was to make sure the fire did not spread,” Burke offered. Burke said the wind caused some flames to jump into the air and land on deck a few houses over. Firefighters were able to extinguish them before it became a problem.

The two-storey home was completely destroyed as well as a Land Rover which was still in the car port. The owner was able to move his Jaguar out of harm’s way before the fire was fully involved. “It is tough when you see a fire of that magnitude spread that quickly,” Burke said, adding he spoke with the owners and everyone is relieved no one was injured. The Davies’ will be staying with family in the area. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Damage is estimated at $490,000.

EMC news - A Dunrobin family has been left homeless following a fire that raced through their residence last Wednesday morning. Fire crews were called to the home of Jim and Sue Davies at 3846 Armitage Ave. around 9:30 a.m. Davies arrived home and discovered heavy smoke in the home. He got his dog out of the house and call 911. “On arrival of fire crews, the home was heavily involved. After confirming that both occupants were safe, firefighters assumed a defensive attack and fought the fire from the exterior and protected nearby homes and other exposures,” Ottawa Fire Service public information officer Marc Messier reported. “Fire crews also used hand lines to keep heat and flames away from a 1,000 litre fuel tank containing gasoline that was right beside the garage.” According to District 6 sector Chief Chris Burke, the fire spread very quickly. “It was somewhat spectacular as I arrived on the scene,” he said. “When I pulled up (roughly 12 minutes after he was notified about the fire) I was

Funding disparities in the classroom The first of a three-part series looks at the inequities in educational opportunities throughout Ontario By Kristen Calis, Jessica Cunha and Rosie-Ann Grover

In an affluent neighbourhood in the nation’s capital, a school that the prime minister’s children once attended is flush with cash. The money comes from serious fundraising that brings in $60,000 just in pizza lunches and a well-attended book fair. Rockcliffe Park Public School – a kindergarten to Grade 6 school with a large proportion of children from area embassies – does not disclose the total it brings in through fundraising by its heavily involved parents, students and teachers. But school council minutes show it had more than enough to spend $12,000 on hip-hop and drumming sessions for the arts program, a cricket skills tune-up and new equipment for the gym. Funds from the book fair covered the $5,000 for this year’s author workshop. It brings writers such as Alphabeasts sensation Wallace Edwards, a Governor General’s Award winner, to the school for – as the website puts it – “the extraordinary experience to have the opportunity to converse with an author of a book you have just read and loved!” five kilometres

Five kilometres away, at Queen Mary Street Public School, celebrated author meet-ups just don’t happen. This school, where the majority of students are from homes where English is a second language, is lucky if it raises $500 in a year, says Chris Ellis, who sits on four Ottawa school councils. Any fundraising proceeds that do come in go to the deficit-ridden milk program or to subsidize field trips for families struggling on an average parent income of $29,000, compared with $155,000 at Rockcliffe Park (figures from the Fraser Institute). An Arabic- and Somali-speaking multicultural liaison officer comes to Queen Mary twice a week. “Most of the schools that I’m directly involved with are schools that all struggle to raise funds,” Ellis says. “They’re dealing with communities that don’t have the capacity to raise funds, which is the irony of it; the schools that are most challenged

– and you could arguably say have the greatest need for additional resources – are the very schools that find it hard to raise funds.” Similar disparities exist across Ontario, where the top 10 per cent of fundraising schools bring in the same amount of money as the bottom 75 per cent combined, according to People for Education’s 2012 report on Ontario’s publicly funded

Ontario schools fundraise? Many boards don’t want to say. Metroland surveyed 28 English public and Catholic school boards across Ontario and found more than half were reluctant to provide financial information. sensitive issue

Fundraising is a sensitive issue, especially when disclosure of inequities is possible. In Waterloo, a public school board representative declined to provide a breakdown of funds raised, saying it would allow the public to see disparities. In Hamilton’s public board, teachers and principals were given scripts on how to respond to Metro-

Fundraising is defined in this report as an activity in the school community conducted by parents, students and/or staff to raise funds for the benefit of the school and students. schools. “You can see in that way how big the gap is,” says Annie Kidder, executive director of the parent-led organization. Society, not just parents, needs to be concerned with the gap. “It’s the next generation of society that’s being educated,” she says. “It will have an impact on everybody.” It means that schools with the ability to raise large sums can significantly enrich their students’ education with hightech learning aids such as laptops and SMART Boards. But in many schools, fundraising isn’t just for the frills. It’s for classroom basics such as air conditioning and books or breakfast programs. A survey of 28 school boards for this Metroland Special Report turned up fundraising gaps as large as half a million dollars between schools in the same board. It also underscored how firmly money from bake sales, car washes and other fundraising has become entrenched in the education system. Concern is growing about the overuse of fundraising – and the disparities it creates – at a time when public money is tightening under the McGuinty government’s austerity drive. And despite the province’s introduction last month of the first-ever guidelines for fundraising, there still are no formal rules, in the form of province-wide regulations, to govern the vast amounts of money collected (see sidebar). How much money do

land reporters. Only 11 of the 28 school boards surveyed provided their fundraising total. Fundraising in those boards pumped $26 million into their 788 schools. The remaining 17 boards provided only a broad figure that includes fundraising but is mixed in with other revenue (see chart). In boards that provided school-by-school breakdowns, there are significant gaps in money raised. In Halton’s public board, half a million dollars separates White Oaks Secondary in Oakville, which raised $511,000 last year, from Acton District High School, which took in just $8,000. There’s a significant difference in the size of the schools (2,100 at White Oaks; 546 in the small community of Acton) but the Acton school took in proportionally less. In York, more than $125,000 separates two elementary schools within the same board. St. Clare Catholic School, located in a wealthy Woodbridge neighbourhood, brought in $131,000. In a less affluent area in Markham, St. Francis Xavier Catholic Elementary School raised just $4,000. At Hamilton’s St. Joseph Catholic elementary school where parent involvement is high, the school took in $192,000. Five kilometres away in the north end of the city, St. Lawrence elementary brought in $9,800. Critics, school associations and parents say the need to fundraise is the result of in-

New guidelines have no teeth: critics The Ontario government says new guidelines released in May make clear that school fundraising is supposed to complement – not replace – public funds for education. But critics say the fundraising “best practices” have no teeth and do nothing to address the massive disparity in fundraising between affluent and have-not schools. “There are so many grey areas,” says Annie Kidder of People for Education, an advocacy group. “There are so

many areas that are open to interpretation.” The guidelines – which are only suggestions, not enforceable regulations – stipulate that money raised by parents, students and teachers to benefit their schools can’t be used for learning materials or textbooks. But schools can continue to fundraise for things like sports equipment, musical instruments, technology and the arts. The guidelines suggest – but do not require

adequate funding, making it necessary for schools to bulk up on private dollars, sometimes even for the basics. “Fundraising is so political. It’s basically a fallout. It’s a symptom of a bigger issue in public education,” says

Catherine Fife, president of the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association, which has been calling for a funding model review for a number of years. Education Minister Laurel Broten says Ontario in-

“Fundraising proceeds should only be used to complement dollars of public investment to the schools and to the education system,” Broten says. “The Ministry of Education funds directly many programs and investments where we seek to ensure we have an equitable education system; our results are demonstrating that.” NDP education critic Peter Tabuns says students attending schools with the ability to fundraise large amounts will likely have better music and art classes, more computers and school trips. “You’ll see a richer educational experience for the children, and for the schools that have no money, things will be tighter,” Tabuns says. “They will have less access to computers, to textbooks, what we see as integral or important parts of a good, solid education.” Fundraising inequities have been building for more than 20 years, says Kidder, of People for Education. “It’s really important to remember that kind of the fundamental premise of public education is to crassly provide a level playing field for kids or to overcome intergenerational cycles of poverty,”

she says. “All children should have a fairly equitable chance for success and if you start to entrench fundraising as a core component of the funding for education, the danger is that you actually increase the inequity rather than narrow it.” More opportunities come with the requirement for more money. And some schools don’t want to share. Bayview Hill Elementary’s school council, fearful of an initiative forcing them to share the wealth generated, discussed a strategy at a school council meeting on Nov. 28, 2011. The minutes posted on their website state, “We have an opening balance of $142,000 from last year, and we must use this money before the province moves to leveling the playing field and distributes the money amongst other schools.” pizza lunches

Co-chair of the school council Wendy Steinberg credits the 800 students, dedicated parent volunteers and successful weekly pizza lunches for the school’s successful fundraising numbers. “We’re all for inclusivity and diversity,” she says, “but we worked hard for that money.”

Steinberg feels the money should stay within the Bayview Hill community in York Region where the average parent income at the school is $117,800. In less affluent pockets of the province, families just don’t have the money to rally around expensive fundraising projects. At Bennetto School in Hamilton, where parents make $18,400, there isn’t any additional money floating around. Their primary focus is the breakfast program to make sure students have food to start the day. “I get mixed feelings when I think about students in different parts of the same board having different opportunities based on what is raised through parent fundraising,” says Greg Reader, president of the school council for this north end community, historically considered to be on the “wrong side of the tracks.” “It’s obviously a problem,” says Greg Weiler, Waterloo local president, Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario. “The whole premise of having a publicly funded system is that the opportunities you have for learning and the type of learning you’re able to experience shouldn’t depend on the school you are at or the community you live in.”

Coalition launches campaign against Carp dump EMC news – Last week a Coalition of Citizen Groups launched a public awareness campaign as part of its ‘Don’t Let Ottawa Go To Waste’ campaign to stop a proposed 6.5 million cubic meter expansion of the Carp Road Landfill. Road signs have been posted at five locations along Hazeldean Road, Carp Road, Terry Fox Drive. and Stittsville Main Street. Also, an information flyer was mailed to over 27,000 homes in Kanata, Stittsville and West Carleton, the three communities that will be most affected by a new landfill. The coalition is asking residents to get informed and write letters opposing the expansion to Ontario’s Minister of the Environment, Jim Bradley. In January 2011, Waste Management of Canada (WM) began an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed project. This spring, the company posted a draft EA report for public comment. In the coming weeks, it is expected that WM will submit the final EA for public comment and then for review and decision by the Ontario Minister of the Environment. Based on this estimated timeline, a decision by the Minister on the project is expected at some point this fall or early 2013. “We are trying to inform as many people as possible about the proposed new dump before WM submits its final E.A.,” said coalition volunteer and local resident Vincent Lavoie. Often, communities don’t know about a project until it has already received approval and the shovels are in the ground,” said coalition volunteer and long time local

resident, Harold Moore. “By then it’s too late to influence the outcome.” In 2006, a Coalition of

Citizen Groups was formed to oppose WM’s plans to expand the landfill on Carp Rd. Risk of further groundwater

contamination, landfill odour and proximity to thousands of residents make the site unsuitable for any landfill.

Wild for Redeemer

ServiNg KaNata North

Holy Redeemer Catholic School held a family barbecue for the community on Friday, June 1. Activities at the event included games, a bake sale, a raffle and a silent auction. The barbecue, run by the school council, raised more than $2,000.

City Councillor, Kanata North PRESTO CARD

OC Transpo is changing how fares are collected. Effective July 1, the Presto Card will replace all monthly and annual pass cards. This card is easy to use. I have one for the pilot project and I simply tap it on the reader when I get on the bus. To transfer, tap it again and there is no additional charge for 90 minutes during the day. The reader will tell you when your ‘transfer’ expires. OC Transpo is holding information sessions about the Presto card and providing free cards. Such a session is being held at the Kanata Senior’s Centre. I strongly recommend that you go to the OC Transpo website and click on the Presto link on the main page. Also, watch for more information leading up to the launch on July 1. Current Ecopass users have expressed concern about the cancellation of the Ecopass. You will have new benefits with the Presto Card, and if used effectively, you can keep the cost down. With a Presto card, you can automatically renew a monthly pass. You can suspend your monthly pass when on vacation or business trips and pay by use. Also, you will be eligible for the federal public transit tax credit. More details are on the Presto link on the OC Transpo website. OC Transpo will be visiting all participating companies and Federal Departments for an exchange session between August and October. Customers will be provided with a free Presto card in exchange for their Ecopass and will be able to register their card then.

CONCERT BAND FOR KANATA

Dan Yau is one of the members who are starting “The Concert Band in Kanata”. The goal of this band is for members of the community to return to their roots and rekindle their love for playing music. They welcome members of all skill levels and hope to develop a sense of community and appreciation of music. The director is currently the grade 7-8 music teacher at Holy Trinity HS, where practices will be held every Monday night during the school year. They are looking for support to help get started. I’m looking into what may be available from the City but they will also need community support. Contact me and I will forward any message to Dan.

LIGHT RAIL TO ORLEANS?

Recent media reports have suggested that light rail will be going to Orleans soon. The present Master Transportation Plan (MTP) has the next stage, after completion of the Blair to Tunneys section, as the route to Baseline. The City is just starting the required 5-yearly review of the MTP. That will include any update to the priority for construction. Light Rail to Orleans (or Kanata or Barrhaven) is a long way off, since we will also need funding support from both the federal and provincial governments to proceed. There will be ample opportunities for the public to participate in the MTP review, which will determine road projects, transit routes, cycling routes and pedestrian ways – including priority for work that needs to be done.

INFORMATION ITEMS

Work will soon start on repairing the retaining walls along March Road. Adopt a Park Program is a good way to ensure your local park is cared for. Congratulations to the Kanata-Hazeldean Lion’s Club for 35 years of service to the community.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, start thinking about curbing your spending. Your finances are in trouble if you don’t make some changes. More is going out than is coming into your accounts.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, a good night is in store this week. The night brings rewards you did not expect. Working hard yields more than financial success.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, there’s not much you can do about the current situation. Complaining about things won’t solve anything, so why waste the breath? Better news is on the horizon.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Trust your instincts, Gemini. Someone who seems like they have your best interests at heart really may have ulterior motives. Heed Capricorn’s sage advice. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you may feel like you’re the only one keeping the ship from sinking. However, this is not the case. Behindthe-scenes work is taking place, too. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, it seems as if drama is always following you. That’s because you tend to be the life of the party or prefer all eyes be on you. Think about being less conspicuous. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, it’s hard to keep friends if you are overly critical of the way they live their lives. Remember, no one is perfect — including you. Keep an open mind.

Relationship woes have slowed you down, Taurus. It could take a few days before you return to full speed. Delegate some of your responsibilities, if necessary. Gemini, you’re giving off so much creative energy that people may flock to your side for the next several days. This newfound celebrity could be an asset.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

An agreement will be nullified before you even get started, Aries. It is time to come up with a different plan of action if you want better results.

Libra, after some busy months, you are ready for a vacation. This well-deserved respite could be an elaborate trip to some place exotic, if you should so choose. Scorpio, with so many creative ideas constantly whirling in your head, it can sometimes be difficult zeroing in on one. Luckily this week you will get things in order. Sagittarius, avoid passing judgement on someone else close to you. Listen to their problems and work with them to find a good solution.

0708

Cancer, there is no easy way around something you need to get done at work. Being scatterbrained this week may add to the pressure of getting things done.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

9. Atomic #58 10. Deep-seated hatreds 11. Fastened with a cord 12. Not out 13. ___ and feathered 14. Mister 17. Transfer property 19. European money 20. Radioactivity unit 21. Arabian greeting 22. Sword handles 24. Lower extremity 25. Adult male human 27. Airtight closures 28. Lots 30. Defunct phone company 31. Covered walkways 32. Relating to India 33. Love intensely 36. A language of the Celts

There’s no use procrastinating on something that needs to get done this week, Capricorn. It will only prolong the amount of time you have to worry about it.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Leo, you have to ask a lot of questions to get to the root of a problem that’s been bothering you. You have the personality to get to the answers easily.

Aquarius, patience and motivation is all you need to start tackling that to-do list. Finding a partner to help will make the work go twice as fast.

Virgo, an unexpected partnership could arise this week. While it may be bumpy at the start, after a few days, the two of you will have worked out all of the kinks.

Pisces, others often look to you for inspiration. You will not disappoint this week when you offer some unique ideas.
