A U T O C A R E

The Kanata Food Cupboard is looking to raise $60,000 a year from area businesses for a special fund to rent a permanent location for a warehouse. This spring, the food cupboard opened a temporary warehouse at the old Canada Post building located at 2 The Parkway in Beaverbrook. The building’s owner, Morley Hoppner Developers, agreed to lease the space to the food cupboard for $30,000, half the market rate, this year, while it waits for approval from the city to redevelop the property into a condominium.

Learn to camp

Surge in demand at food cupboard From FOOD BANK, page 1

“This is a targeted program,” he said, adding that the food cupboard needs to gather ongoing donations from between 20 to 30 businesses. So far the food cupboard has secured $7,000 in donations to the fund.

EMC news - The Ottawa Public Library has partnered with Ontario Parks to introduce camping basics to new Canadians and young families. The Learn to Camp workshops will focus on overcoming barriers to camping and spending time in the outdoors. During this hands-on workshop, participants will learn about setting up camp, safety and ethics and how to

SURGE IN DEMAND

In 2011, the Kanata Food Cupboard distributed more than 113,000 kilograms of food to needy families, relying on food and funds donated by schools, community groups, and shoppers at local grocery stores. The food cupboard, which has an annual budget of more than $200,000, uses approximately 4,000 cardboard boxes a year to transport groceries from its warehouse to the St. Paul’s site, where it is distributed to clients. Two hundred families are currently served every month – a number that jumps to 300 during Christmas. But numbers tell only half the story about the increasing demand for assistance from needy families and the community’s working poor, said Karen Waters, client co-ordinator at the Kanata Food Cupboard.

The program will be held at the following branches: • Orleans branch, 1705 Orleans Blvd. on June 19, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. • Carlingwood branch, 281 Woodroffe Ave. on June 26 from noon to 1:30 p.m. • Nepean Centrepointe branch, 101 Centrepointe Dr. on July 10 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Online registration is required.

Blair Edwards

Doug Broughton, manager of inventory at the Kanata Food Cupboard’s warehouse location, has been a volunteer for eight years. It’s the faces behind the numbers, she said, such as the minimum wage earner faced with the choice of fixing their car or putting food on the table, or the couple who are suddenly laid off and are struggling to make ends meet and not uproot their family while they search for new jobs. One client told Waters he had been fired after he asked for a leave of absence to care for his

child, who had been recently diagnosed with cancer. “A lot of our clients are working poor,” she said. “We’re not all rich in Kanata – we need to get that out of people’s heads, not all Kanata is rich.” The food cupboard provides six days worth of food to its client families every month, just enough to tide them over, said Dumais.

“We’re an emergency food service,” he said. “We’re not going to provide all the food.” The strain on food banks across Canada spiked during the 2008-09 recession, and so far shows no signs of decreasing, said Dumais. “The demand has gone up over the last few years; Year to year demand is growing.” he said.

EMC news - The All Saints robotics teams showed off their skills at the end-of-season barbecue on Wednesday, June 6. The senior team, comprised of grades 9 to 12 students, competed in the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition this past March where they were instructed to build a robot that would pick up and shoot basketballs through hoops at different heights. “The whole experience itself, it’s really exciting,” said Gabby Genereux, a Grade 10 student. She joined the team this year. “I don’t think I’ll ever be leaving.”

The senior team has about 18 core members who spend time working on the one robot for the competition. “I’ve always been interested in engineering,” said Grade 11 student Marissa Law. She added being on the team has taught her skills she can use when she graduates high school. The students demonstrated to family and friends how to maneuver the robot and line it up to take a shot at the nets, and then let them take a turn at the controls. Tammy McCauley, a family friend of Gabby’s, laughed along with the team as she tried to sink the ball. “She is so smart,” said McCauley, adding Gabby did much of the programming for the robot. “I’m hoping to build their

confidence, their self esteem, it’s not all about building robots,” said technology teacher and robotics team mentor Paul McDonough, about his students. “It’s to teach them to succeed and be successful.” McDonough also coaches the junior team, which is made up of grades 7 and 8 students. They work with lego-type robots that compete in a variety of challenges in the FIRST Lego League. This year, the team was challenged with finding solutions surrounding how food travels from the ground to the table. “It’s really phenomenal what some kids come up with,” said McDonough.

were affected by power failures on Friday, June 8, said Hubley, which started around 4:30 a.m. and lasted until the afternoon. Hubley requested Hydro Ottawa release a report by June 11 about what is causing the outages and what is being done to ensure a sta-

ble power source. “We just put several million into the system last year,” he said. The report stated the majority of the outages were due to equipment failures, Hubley said. Hubley added he would be tabling a motion during the June 13 city council meeting asking that residents affected by outages lasting more than an hour and a half receive some kind of rebate or credit as “recognition of the inconvenience.”

FUTURE PLANS

Norman Fraser, chief operating office for Hydro Ottawa, said the utility is working with Hubley to outline future plans. “We do regret any inconvenience this caused for our customers in Kanata and the Bridlewood area,” he said. “The capital programs we’ve put in place over the past few years have really made a difference in Kanata in terms of electrical reli-

ability,” said Fraser. “We can now show that there’s been an absolute positive trend in improvement over the years.” He said Hydro Ottawa is continuing to invest in the system. “There’s always going to be something that goes bump in the night and Friday was an unfortunate series of events,” said Fraser about the power failure. Hubley said he received emails, phone calls and Twitter messages about

the power failures on Friday from residents in Glen Cairn, Soho West and Bridlewood. The Bridlewood Community Association will host its monthly meeting on Tuesday, June 19, and has invited Hydro Ottawa to talk to residents about the recent outages and what is being done to correct the situation. The meeting will take place at the Eva James Memorial Community Centre starting at 7:30 p.m.

EMC news – A new rooftop terrace is just one feature of the new West District Library expansion that will be revealed at a June 20 meeting. Residents can view plans and give feedback on the designs for an expansion of the Beaverbrook library branch to enlarge it to serve as the West District Library. The meeting will take place on Wednesday, June 20, at 7 p.m. in Halls A and B of the Mlacak Centre. The two-floor, 1,300square metre addition will bring the library’s total space to 2,229 square metres and make it a district library instead of a local branch, meaning more reference materials will be available. Based on a survey of Beaverbrook branch users conducted by the architectural firm, Moriyama & Teshima Architects, architect Emmanuelle van Rutten said she wanted to make the branch more of a meeting and multiuse space than a traditional library. “It’s about more than being a repository for books,” she said. “It has to be a great place for people … The community wants good quality space, not just the ability to navigate books and computers.” More than half of the survey respondents requested more quiet spaces and comfortable seating for reading and studying. Most of the people who took the survey also wanted to see more windows and light in the expanded library. A unique feature of a rooftop terrace and green roof on the new section of the building will make the space an attractive venue for people to rent for private functions, said library board chairwoman Jan Harder, the councillor for Barrhaven ward. Library board trustee Chris-

tine Langlois asked if the architects could look at ways to expand the rooftop terrace to the existing portion of the building to make it larger and more appealing to people who may want to rent it. The new portion of the roof will also be topped with light-coloured stones and material to reflect light and make the building more energy efficient. The facade of the building will be clad in natural materials: wood and grey stone. The entranceway will be made more prominent and inviting through the use of a skylight in the entrance overhang, van Rutten said. Harder asked the architect to look more closely at bringing the recessed entrance outwards to make it even more prominent. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said it will be important to retain wall space

City should ban bags to ease trash troubles

O

nly in Toronto you say? Pity. Toronto’s city council set the mayor’s blood to boil last week by voting for a ban on plastic bags. Toronto is by no means the first North American city to say no to plastic bags – Fort McMurray, Alta., San Francisco, Seattle and Los Angeles have all banned plastic bags. The City of Ottawa should consider adding its name to

the list of cities attempting to deal responsibly with their municipal waste. Toronto’s bag ban started out as a debate over an unpopular five-cent fee for every plastic bag charged by retailers. Sound familiar? Mayor Rob Ford managed to convince council to scrap the fee, but was flummoxed, when Coun. David Shiner – a member of the Ford inner circle – proposed an outright ban on plastic bags.

Shiner later said the idea for the bag ban came to him mid-debate, but nevertheless his colleagues on council lined up behind the idea. One of the largest issues on Ottawa council’s plate over the past decade has been what to do about the city’s landfill problem. Councillor after councillor and mayor after mayor tells us the city wants to move to more sustainable forms of managing municipal waste, but then we’re reminded

about the need to find somewhere to store our garbage. If we want to move away from landfills, we have to reduce our environmental footprint and getting rid of non-biodegradable products like plastic bags is a good first step. When it’s tossed into a landfill, plastic bags have the staying power of an Energizer bunny. If we don’t use them, there’s no need to manufacture them and ultimately,

scrap them. If we’re serious about moving away from landfills, wouldn’t eliminating the tons of plastic that end up in our city dumps be a great first, second and third step? The cost? Shoppers will have to bag their groceries in paper (it’s been done before), cardboard boxes and using Green boxes and cloth bags. We’re already being charged a nickel a bag by many retailers for every

plastic bag we use, so maybe we spend that money more wisely on a paper bag instead. Or dare we suggest ‌ keep the nickels in our pockets and carry our groceries home in reuseable bags and boxes? Ottawa council should at least take a look at the idea – not shy away from it over fear of a potential public backlash. Hopefully, after sober discussion and debate, council will decide that saving our environment – and millions in taxes pumped into waste management – is definitely “their bag.â€?

COLUMN

More sleep, less duty free CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

T

he idea of abolishing duty-free shopping came, as great ideas often do, during sleep. Well, not exactly during sleep. It was at the moment of being awakened from sleep. Precisely, it was during the captain’s booming announcement that woke up certain people who were trying desperately to grab 40 winks while sitting upright in cramped conditions on an international flight. Just when success seemed to be attained and restful dreams arrived, a loud and authoritative voice jolted certain people with the news that attendants would be coming through the cabin offering duty-free bargains. Thanks a lot, captain. And then suddenly came the memory of another international flight when attendants were walking through the cabin hawking their cheap cigarettes, eau de toilette and champagne at 3 a.m., local time, somehow oblivious to the fact that some of the passengers who emplaned at midnight, local time, might need some shut-eye. There is, clearly, something about passengers sleeping that triggers the duty-free mechanism. Understandably, this would get one to thinking, perhaps somewhat emotionally, about the concept of duty-free shopping. Why do we have it anyway? What purpose does it serve? And would abolishing it do any real harm? Duty-free shops were obviously started to give people something to do at airports other than looking for a place to sit that isn’t occupied by that guy over there who has luggage spread over three seats. It’s a long time ago that it started, but some-

body obviously thought that having a place to shop duty-free would give people an incentive to spend money at the airport. Later, it may have been thought that the presence of a dutyfree shop might give people a reason to choose one airport over another. Perhaps it did not occur to anyone that people don’t really choose airports. The main incentive to visit, say, Ottawa airport is that the plane goes from there. Then duty-free stores spread to passenger ships, parts of the world that were not airports, and onto the plane itself, with the unfortunate consequences that we have seen. Whether it is intended or not, the duty-free shop, particularly the one in the airport and the one on the plane, gives preferential treatment to travellers as opposed to those who stay at home. Many things are wrong with this. On the environmental side, those who stay home are doing more for the planet than those who get onto airplanes or drive cars to the nearest border. And what do those non-travellers get for their services to the environment? They get to pay taxes when they buy cognac, perfume and four-foot-long Toblerone bars. That’s another issue: the reverse income redistribution effect, as those of us who haven’t studied economics like to call it. Citizens who can partake of foreign travel are generally wealthier than citizens who cannot. Yet it is they who get to avoid the duty. Of course, they are not the only wealthy people in the world who get tax breaks, but that doesn’t make it right that they can get a deal on a bottle of Clicquot Ponsardin or get a free signature hockey puck with their purchase of Wayne Gretzky Icewine while we mortals are paying HST on a Diet Pepsi and some Cheez Doodles. Another point: Our governments at all levels are struggling with budget deficits. Yet here’s a source of revenue that is cut off from them. Imagine how quickly budgets would be balanced if everybody who bought cognac, tan maximizer and syrup in a jar shaped like a maple leaf had to pay tax on it. It’s all good and that doesn’t even count the part about people sleeping better on airplanes.

Boost infants’ intellectual development with music

W

hen my first child was born seven years ago, I opted out of electronic toys. Much to the chagrin of doting grandparents and aunties, I put

aside anything that beeped, tingled or otherwise required batteries to make music. Frankly, I couldn’t stand the noise. Instead, I used to sing. I would tap out rhythms on my

son’s feet, hands and belly. I would clap his hands together and tickle his toes. I made up songs about everything. I may have even overdone it a bit. When my son was almost three, he quipped, “My dog’s

name is Baby-Boom-BoomBaby-Go-Car, and there’s no song about that, so don’t sing one.” But as it turns out, perhaps I was doing him a favour. A new study out of McMaster University’s Department of Psychology has found that infants who are exposed to interactive music from six months of age develop language, music, brain and social skills at a more advanced rate than their peers. MUSIC CLASSES

Ottawa Fusion 16U Boys celebrate their Division 1 Silver Medal, the best finish for the club to-date. R0011447855

The study, published in the journal Developmental Science in May, took place over six months in 2010. In it, infants and their parents took part in one of two types of parent-child music classes. In one, parents took part in a playgroup with their six-month-old babies while synthesized classical music arrangements (Baby Einstein CDs) played in the background. The parents were encouraged to borrow the CDs and listen with their infants at home. In the second group, parents and infants were taught various rhythms and tunes using instruments, like drums and xylophones in a group setting. They were encouraged to guide their baby’s hand on the mallets and tap out music

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse on their bodies, while taking turns and sharing instruments with other parent-infant pairings in a music circle. Throughout the program and in the analysis that took place after infants were tested at 12 months of age, the children that took part in the interactive music group proved more likely than the control group to recognize Western tones in music over non-music, demonstrated higher levels of pre-language communication skills, and expressed more comfort in social situations. A series of EEG tests also demonstrated increased brain activity among the second group when stimulated with familiar music. “The results indicate that in the first year after birth infants learn a lot about music, and the particular musical experiences they have may affect their development in a number of ways,” says Dr. Laurel Trainor, one of the key authors in the study. “Passively listening to music does

not have the same effect as actively listening.” NO BENEFIT

Trainor was not surprised when the educational value of Baby Einstein CDs was denounced (shortly after the study took place). The research team found little to no benefit of the CDs on early child development. But what does this study really mean for parents? “I don’t think parents need to take this as a message to rush out and put their kids in music class,” says Trainor. “But it’s important that parents are singing to their babies and moving with their babies. Putting music on and laying the baby in the crib won’t have the same effect as dancing with your infants, moving them to the beat and allowing them to actively participate in the music.”

Kanata Sports Club celebrates 25 years Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Kanata Sports Club threw a heck of a party to celebrate its 25th anniversary in the community. Around 600 people scooped up tickets to the June 8 event, which included dinner, a special Hot Seat, a roast of Mark Papousek and musical entertainment by Donnie the Rain-

All the funds raised from this event and the celebration on June 9 are being split between the Make a Wish Foundation of Eastern Ontario and the Do it for Daron fund. “Every nickel is going to the kids – that’s what it’s all about,” said sports club president Lorne Weatherall. “I’m so proud. I really am.” The Kanata Sports Club

has donated more than $1.5 million to local charities and sports teams since 1987. A group of Kanata Little League members volunteered their time to serve the meals as a way to repay the generosity of the club. “They help out our organization. They raise money for us,” said Brodie Rafter, 16. “It means a lot.” Two plaques were presented to the sports club, one from Mayor Jim Watson, who proclaimed June 8, 2012 as Kanata Sports Club day in the city, and one from Tom Flood, of the Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club. “I know you’re going to make the next 25 years even better,” said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley. HOT SEAT

The special Hot Seat, hosted by radio personality Papousek, featured Ottawa Senators director of player development and hockey administration Randy Lee, and the Sens director of player personnel Pierre Dorion. The two said they spent countless hours at the sports club when they were involved with the junior Senators. “They do so much in the community,” said Lee. “You want to give back. Anything we can do to help is an honour for us.”

No dump coalition raising awareness John.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - A coalition of community groups has launched a public awareness campaign about Waste Management’s proposed new landfill on Carp Road. Groups in the coalition are the Stittsville Village Association, NoDump.ca, the Richardson Corridor Community Association, Moving Mountains, and OttawaLandfillWatch.org.

The campaign is based on the premise that Waste Management has failed to raise sufficient awareness about the planned new landfill site on Carp Road. “Many residents of Kanata, Stittsville and West Carleton are unaware of the company’s plans to build another mega dump on Carp Road and the serious environmental and social impacts that the project will have on the community,” says Vincent Lavoie, a volunteer with the coalition.

As part of its public awareness campaign, which it has named “Don’t Let Ottawa Go To Waste,” the coalition has erected road signs about the proposed new landfill at various locations in the area including on Hazeldean Road, Stittsville Main Street and Carp Road. In addition, the coalition has mailed an information flyer to over 27,000 homes in Stittsville, Kanata and West Carleton. The coalition is also asking residents to write letters op-

posing the new landfill to the Ontario Minister of the Environment. It was in January 2011 that Waste Management began an environmental assessment process about the proposed new landfill. A draft environmental assess ment report has now been prepared based on a series of public open houses which Waste Management held since the process began. It is expected that Waste Management will soon have a final

environmental assessment report ready which will then go to the Ministry of the Environment for approval. In 2006, a proposal to expand the Carp Road landfill site was withdrawn by Waste Management after this coalition of community groups raised concerns and mobilized the local population to oppose the expansion. Information about the coalition’s Don’t Let Ottawa Go To Waste campaign can be found at www.nodump.ca.

This year, event co-ordinator Andrew Wayling is hoping to raise $20,000 for Cystic Fibrosis Canada and the Emilie Joinette scholarship award – a grant to help young people with cystic fibrosis who are raising awareness about the disease. Last year’s inaugural event brought in $16,000. “Now that sets a benchmark,” said Wayling, 24, adding the response from the community last year was overwhelming. “I want to keep Emilie’s memory and fight going.” This year’s golf tournament will be held on Friday, July 13, at the Canadian Golf and Country Club, but Wayling isn’t worried about superstitions or bad luck. “It’s just another day and will be good,” he said. Space is available for 144 golfers for the shotgun start and there is a dinner only option for those who don’t golf but still want to support the cause. Tickets are $125 and include lunch, golf cart rental, 18 holes and dinner. The dinner only option costs $45.

Joinette, who grew up in Katimavik, passed away from cystic fibrosis in 2009 at the age of 22 after a life-long battle and two double-lung

transplants. She worked hard to raise awareness about the disease, appearing in the local media, representing CHEO during multiple telethons, speaking at schools and events, and attending the 65 Roses benefit dinner every year. “She was very involved with many things,” Wayling said. She played hockey and soccer, took dancing lessons, and attended Algonquin College’s travel and tourism program while living in residence. “Even when battling cystic fibrosis she wanted to attend

post secondary (studies),” said Wayling, who attended elementary and high school with Joinette. “The scholarship fund is for those who have cystic fibrosis and want to further their education.” Wayling said he developed the idea of a golf tournament as a way to keep Joinette’s spirit and memory alive, and to continue the good work she had been doing in the community. “I wanted to do something to help those like Emilie,” he said. “I wanted to do something to keep her fight going.”

Vimy Ridge tour a ‘wonderful experience’ for cadets Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - A chance encounter for a Kanata Lakes teenager overseas changed a special trip into an emotional experience. Sgt. Esteban SanchezMaya, with the 2870 Royal Canadian Dragoons Cadet Corps, travelled to Vimy Ridge with 18 other cadets to honour the 95th anniversary of the First World War battle. As part of the nine-day tour, the group visited a cemetery

where Canadian soldiers are buried. Each cadet was asked to research one of the soldiers and make a cross of remembrance to place on the grave. When Sanchez-Maya reached the grave he was assigned, the soldier’s niece and her family – who live in Owen Sound, Ont. – were there paying their respects. “It really brought it home more than just seeing a name,” said Sanchez-Maya. “I got lucky that way.” Stittsville’s Sgt. Francesca Martin said the experience

gave her a bigger appreciation of what Canadian soldiers experienced during the First World War. “One of the biggest things was seeing the grave of the man I had researched – he was 19,” she said. The corps left on April 4, travelling to Amsterdam, Bruges, Passchendaele, Vimy, Normandy and Paris. During one bus ride, the group passed through three countries, said navy Lt. Laura Henderson.

There were pictures of the cadets taking part in a parade for the Vimy Ridge 95th Anniversary Commemoration, in the trenches along the DDay beaches, as well as candid shots taken during the many bus rides. “You do learn from being there,” said Henderson, adding it was a great experience

for everyone involved. Sgt. Dennis Pearson, from Carleton Place, said it was an opportunity to celebrate the Canadians who died making a difference. “It was to bring Canadian pride,” he said, adding, “It was a wonderful experience.” Katimavik’s master war-

Although there will be a selection panel deciding on who should receive the award, we will encourage residents to put forward nominations for those people they think are worthy recipients at ottawa.ca. Pamphlets outlining the award will be available at local public library branches, community centres or any Client Service Centre.

Rental Village supplies products for a wide range of events, including extravagant weddings, graduations and charity events—indoors or out, to smaller intimate private events like birthday parties, anniversaries or family reunions. Rental Village offers a broad inventory of china, glassware, flatware, linens, tables, chairs, and kitchen inventory that is current and ready-for-use.

The nomination process will begin following approval of the report presented to Council and the deadline for submitting nominations will be later this fall.

A group of eight young artists have artistic designs on a tunnel under March Road, hoping to paint murals on the structure’s two entrances this month that will discourage vandalism.

The project received $7,800 in funding from Crime Prevention Ottawa: money to pay the artists and for art supplies. The overpass mural project is administered by the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. Every year, Crime Prevention Ottawa funds a community project that beautifies neighbourhoods and helps prevent the spread of graffiti in the city. Youth are later hired to work on the murals, led by professional artist Nicole Belanger. This is Belanger’s third Paint it Up! mural. Over the past two years she has helped youth create murals on the columns of the Cooper Street Health Centre and at the north Gloucester branch of the Ottawa Public Library. “I have to get them to come up with a good design,” said Belanger. “The challenge is to keep it young and fresh, to make it their project – they have to own it.” The artists will use a special acrylic paint for the murals, designed to last a decade, said Belanger. The March Road group is working with a theme: nature meets garden city. At the June 7 meeting, the group discussed painting a nature mural on the western en-

14-year-old student at Castlefrank Elementary School, said he applied to work on the project because he likes to draw. “It’s just a really cool project,” he said. The group of young artists will start work on the mural on June 25 and a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating its completion will be held on July 17.

Ottawa teacher invited to Jerusalem’s Holocaust memorial Kanata Lakes man first organized pen-pal program eight years ago Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – A Grade 6 Ottawa teacher who created a program teaching cultural understanding between Jewish and Muslim students has been asked to speak at a Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem. Patrick Mascoe, who teaches at Charles H. Hulse Public School, has been invited to Yad Vashem, a memorial for victims of the Jewish Holocaust, on June 15, an event attended by delegates from 50 countries. Eight years ago, the Kanata Lakes man started a program that teams up students from Charles H. Hulse, which has a predominantly Muslim population, with students from the Ottawa Jewish Community School through a pen-pal exchange. The pen-pal program teaches students to learn and apply the principles of tolerance and responsible citizenship and culminates in a day of cultural understanding. On June 7, the students from both schools met during a day of cultural understanding held at Charles H. Hulse. “I really see a change in the culture and attitude. The last time the Jewish kids came in they received a standing ovation,” said Mascoe.

Eddie Rwema

Charles H. Hulse’s Fatema Rashed with her pen-pal Diana Goldfield from the Ottawa Jewish Community School. Students from both schools met on June 7 during a day of cultural understanding held at Charles H. Hulse Public School. After the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Mascoe said he discovered many of his students harboured an extreme dislike for the Jewish community. “We had anti-Semitic graffiti, we had kids talking openly that they didn’t like Jews and I thought that was kind of ridiculous,” said Mascoe. “When I asked if they had

met any Jewish people, none of them had met one.” Mascoe decided to pair his pupils with students from the Ottawa Jewish Community School to engage in healthy debate and discussion. The pen-pal program was designed to teach students how to make decisions based on knowledge instead of prej-

udice. “Everyone can say, ‘Yeah, racism is wrong,’ But when you see it are you going to stand up and do something about it? Even when it is not directed towards you?” Mascoe asked his students. Collaborative games, sports, a scavenger hunt and a Holocaust survivor’s personal

story, were part of this special program aimed at teaching tolerance and understanding. The goal of the program is to build teamwork and co-operation, said Mascoe. The program has become so popular, that even Mayor Jim Watson was on hand to deliver an introductory speech to the students. “The common denominator we all have is we are all people,” Watson told the students. No matter what background one might have, “we are all people at the end of the day,” he added. “Our job in a caring and loving society is to ensure that we don’t get trapped into this web of hate, bitterness and negativity but instead stand up and defend someone who is being attacked or bullied, treated unfairly or being discriminated against.” Watson said there is a lot older people who can learn from children in this program. “You have to do a better job of being role models to young people,” he told them. Mascoe’s program has recently been recognized by the Daniel Pearl Foundation and is featured on their website.

The Devil’s Dust ends trilogy on a high note Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Glen Cairn author C.B. Forrest released the third and final novel in the Charlie McKelvey trilogy on Tuesday, June 12. The Devil’s Dust follows McKelvey as he travels to his hometown of Ste. Bernadette, a small mining town in northern Ontario. The novel is a poignant story of a man coming to terms with the choices he’s made in life – without being predictable or preachy. “There’s a section in it that I really like that sums up the whole conundrum of life,” said Forrest. “We rush through a lot of stuff. “All of a sudden you’re middle aged and what were you rushing for?”

The Devil’s Dust is the conclusion to Slow Recoil, nominated for the Arthur Ellis Award for best crime novel, and The Weight of Stones, which was short-listed for the Arthur Ellis Award for best first novel. The trilogy takes place over the course of about three years of McKelvey’s life. All three novels are page turners, and the last book is no different. It has a major plot twist that will keep readers flipping the pages. “It’s almost like you’re along for a ride,” said Forrest. “You don’t know how it’s going to end.” FULL CIRCLE

McKelvey, a big city Toronto cop, now retired, comes full circle in the last book. He

is forced to examine his own mortality after a cancer diagnosis and deal with issues he has run from in the past – including a failed marriage, the death of his son and the possibility his father may have been part of a violent period in Ste. Bernadette. “He comes home physically and metaphorically,” said Forrest. “He’s self aware... he’s screwed up and he knows he’s screwed up.” McKelvey is a real character, flaws and all, and that is one of the main reasons readers connect with him. “He’s gruff, he wants the world to be black and white but he knows it’s not,” said Forrest. “He’s a knight in dented armour.” After receiving much praise for his depiction of Toronto in the first two novels, Forrest

said it was a gamble to change locations in the final book. “It was, I think, actually risky for me,” he said. “But I wanted to render a portrait of the north just as much as Toronto.” A former court journalist for The Sudbury Star and Northern Life, Forrest realistically weaves the intricacies of small town character, politics and police life as the town deals with an outburst of methamphetamine and the subsequent crime wave – something he credits to his research and interview skills learned at the newspapers.

After five years of living with McKelvey in his head, Forrest said it’s bittersweet to have published The Devil’s Dust. “It’s been an incredible experience and I’m grateful for it,” he said. “I was very happy with how the book ends. It’s true to McKelvey.” Forrest is in the stages of plotting out a new crimebased series “with a bit of a twist,” but he wouldn’t elaborate further. “I think I’m just getting started,” he said, adding he will continue to write until “I’m not able to write anymore or until they take my

Wicked guitar raffle benefits youth group Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - One thousand people will have the chance to win a custom guitar signed by Canadian rocker Kim Mitchell at the Canada Day in Kanata celebration. The raffle is raising funds

to benefit the Kanata Haven Youth Centre and TYPS Youth Centres Canada – an umbrella youth organization. “It’s a great thing to get behind,” said Mike Sherren, vice president of Wicked Instruments and general manager at Domenic’s Music in Kanata. When the community helps

local charities such as the Haven, it gets to see the results first hand, Sherren said. “We’ve seen the benefit from what we did last year.” Last year’s raffle raised around $1,400, with the money purchasing instruments for the Haven’s free music program. Many of the youths

involved in the centre don’t have the opportunity to take music lessons, he said. This year, the goal is to raise $2,000. “The importance of pairing youth and music is very valuable,” said Diane McNulty, director of the Haven, and program director and stage manager for Canada Day in Kanata. It goes beyond the musical component, it exposes youth to dedication, practice and working with others, McNul-

ty said. The guitar, crafted by Wicked Instruments Inc., features a solid basswood body, flamed maple top, chrome hardware, rosewood fingerboard and 24 frets. Known as the “Wicked Witch,” the instrument will be given to one lucky winner at the July 1 festivities right before headliner Mitchell takes to the stage. “Kim Mitchell, first of all, he’s a Canadian icon,” said Sherren. “The fact he’s going

to lend his name to our project is awesome.” Tickets cost $2 and only 1,000 will be sold. Tickets are available at Domenic’s Music, 444 Hazeldean Rd., Jiffy Photo, 420 Hazeldean Rd., D’Arcy McGee’s, 655 Terry Fox Dr., on site at the Canada Day in Kanata event, or from any member of the Kanata Haven Youth Centre. “We wanted to make an impact,” said Sherren. “We want to be able to help these kids out.”

EMC news - Their backgrounds couldn’t be much different. She’s from sleepy Merrickville; he’s a Rwandan refugee who first set foot on Canadian soil less than two years ago. But Emma Galbraith and Yves Sikubwabo’s end destination was the same at the June 7-9 OFSAA track-and-field championships in Brockville – top spot on the podium. Both national capital high school athletes took home gold in the 1,500-metre races at the senior level this past Saturday, but not before a rain delay of about 45 minutes sent hundreds scurrying. “Physically, I kind of felt like I was feeling it in my legs because I had warmed up twoand-a-half hours prior to my

race,” Galbraith said about the effects of the delay. If she struggled at all, it was certainly hard to tell during the race. Galbraith was at the head of the pack for nearly the entire three-and-three-quarter laps. Crossing the finish line, she embraced second-place finisher Jaimie Phelan, tears of joy interrupted by gasps for breath. In an odd scheduling quirk, Galbraith received her gold medal on the grassy infield while the boys, including Sikubwabo, raced by in front of her. Unlike his fellow Ottawan, Sikubwabo had to come from behind to capture his gold medal. As the bell rang for the final lap, Corey Bellmore of Windsor’s Riverside turned on the jets.

Sikubwabo inexorably made up the difference on the backstretch. As Sikubwabo passed Bellmore in the final metres to win by .41 seconds in 3:53.08, he raised his arms in victory and allowed himself to smile. Drenched in sweat with the gold medal hanging around his neck, he admitted after the race that it hadn’t gone according to plan. “I’m thinking, ‘Oh my God, I’m not going to catch him,’” Sikubwabo recalled with characteristic humility. “But the last 200 metres, he kind of slowed down, so I kept pushing until I caught him.” Sikubwabo also finished second in the 3,000 metre. Winning bronze at he event were A. Y. Jackson’s Davine Reid (senior girls’ high jump) and All Saints’ Leeson Guay (senior boys’ high jump). Event finalists who cracked the top-eight from national capital schools included: Charlotte Gardner and Hailey McKechnie from Earl of March, Ali Chiarelli and Bridget Hayes of Mother Teresa, Sacred Heart’s Liam Meades, A. Y. Jackson’s Brendon Howard.

St. John Anglican Church lawn supper goes back to the basics EMC news - In a time when the big boxes and assemblyline kitchens are everywhere, St John’s Anglican Church in Briarbrook is keeping it simple, friendly and tasty, as it has since 1924. Preparations are in full gear for the event on Saturday, June 16, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. As of Saturday morning, the turkeys and the ham will have been cooked and the carving crew will have spent Friday morning carving. The potato salads will have been carefully hand-mixed in the kitchen, and the pies and varietal salads baked and prepared by parishioners. The lemonade is on ice. All is the same as it was 88 years ago. “We attract about 300 to this event every year,�

said Linda Leinan, who is this year’s convenor, with spouse Todd Sloan. “Our church, built in 1838, once surrounded by farmland, is now surrounded by a suburb. But the lawn supper is still a basic person-to-person, lowkey event in a little island of green.� As usual the lawn supper

“The lawn supper appeals to all ages.� Linda Leinan

will feature home-cooked fare on the spacious lawns that still surround St John’s. There will be a great silent auction featuring items solicited from local businesses, including restaurants, and from parishioners. As usual there

will be dinner music from the front porch of the rectory – this year keyboardist Sally Robinson will play old favourites and classical jazz. “The lawn supper appeals to all ages,� said Leinan. “Seniors appreciate the pace and the opportunity for fellowship that our event provides. It’s also great for young families, since we feature activities for the kiddies while parents can sit and chat. The parents of our oldest parishioners probably played on the lawn and while their parents ate turkey and ham in 1924�. Tickets for the supper are $15 for adults and $5 for children.

Parents struggle with fundraising fatigue Ontario’s education system taps families’ desire to improve children’s learning: People for Education By Kristen Calis, Jessica Cunha and Rosie-Ann Grover

Parents across Ontario are feeling unprecedented pressure to open their wallets for school fundraising as families shell out money for everything from crayons and Kleenex to computers and playground equipment. “Today there’s a bigger burden than ever before,” says Progressive Conservative education critic Lisa MacLeod. “Parents are paying over half a billion bucks out of their own pockets each year for essential learning tools.” Bake sales, car washes and pizza lunches generate tens of millions of dollars in fundraising that is supposed to enrich – not replace – public funding. And “the amount of extra monies that are being raised for school purposes is steadily increasing,” the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association says. “The trend is undeniable.” Parents do “have a role to play in actually augmenting the school budget,” says Annie Kidder, executive director of People for Education, a parent-led advocacy group. But she believes the education system is taking advantage of parents’ willingness and ability to be involved, assuming they will always be there to put in that extra time and money. Many parents agree. School boards know parents will fundraise, says Oshawa dad Steve Rockbrune, who believes parents will work hard to give their kids the best they can provide. “That’s why they put the squeeze on us.” Rockbrune was surprised when his daughter, who attends Harmony Public School, came home at the start of the year with a note requesting donations of Kleenex and glue, basic classroom staples. Parents say drumming up dollars isn’t the most popular task. “Nobody really ever wants to take on the job of fundraising because it’s a lot of work,” says Catherine Scott, fundraising committee co-chair at Roch Carrier Elementary School in Ottawa. “And yet we need classroom resources; we need new technology; we need to keep our school grounds up; spend money on paint for hopscotch and four square in the playground – and there’s no money in the school budget for those things.”

As of March, Ottawa’s Broadview Public School had raised more than $116,000 through an e-waste drop-off, magazine fundraiser, letter drive, movie night, and pizza and sub lunches for a complete yard renewal. The previous school council set aside $30,000 and the school received a number of corporate donations, including three $10,000 contributions. With a goal of $150,000, the school council hopes to purchase two new play struc-

“(Fundraising initiatives) are constant and frequent. It puts an unrealistic expectation on parents and family and the community.” Greg Weiler

tures to replace the current unsafe playground and create an outdoor learning classroom for the school of more than 800 students. FEELING THE PINCH

Many parents say they are feeling the pinch with schools continually asking for more money. It can seem endless, says Greg Weiler, a father of two at the primary level and local president for the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) in Waterloo. “I can’t think of a week where there isn’t some fundraising initiative going on. They are constant and frequent,” Weiler says. “It puts an unrealistic expectation on parents and family and the community.” NDP education critic Peter Tabuns believes the government relies on parents to fundraise. “You almost think they quietly approve. This is a way of reducing the pressure on them for proper funding of education. Leave it to the parents. The parents will raise the money and won’t squawk about the fact that their school isn’t getting enough. Life goes on. But it means a lot of children get shortchanged.” The ETFO says school fundraising lets the provincial government “shirk” its responsibility to properly fund schools and puts pressure on

everyone in the system. “The funds have to come from somewhere,” says Durham ETFO local president Gerard O’Neill. “People have to go out and raise them.” O’Neill says filling this funding gap often comes down to teachers, many of whom end up paying for essential classroom items, such as pencils and paper, out of their own pocket. Some manage the entire fundraising procedure, which takes time away from their Number 1 priority – teaching. NEW WAYS

School councils are constantly finding new ways to raise money. At Terry Fox Public School in Ajax, school community council chair Sandra Fletcher has become familiar but not quite comfortable with soliciting friends and family. “The SCC relies on parents and grandparents and sisters and uncles and cousins,” she says. This has been the case since the school opened its doors 10 years ago. The gym didn’t have a sound system and the library didn’t have enough books. After years of fundraising to add these items, Fletcher said she’s found parents have reached fundraising fatigue. “I actually think there’s a lot of pressure on the parents, and we, in the last four or five years, have tried consciously not to put that pressure on the parents,” she says, adding a dance-a-thon and pizza lunches make up most of the fundraising. The school council of St. Patrick’s Catholic High School in Ottawa doesn’t do any fundraising for the school. Instead, it lets the students decide how to raise funds and how to use the money. “It’s hard to get volunteers, so it would fall on a few people’s shoulders,” says Joanne MacEwan, chair of the school council and co-chair of the Catholic School Parents’ Association. Leaving it up to the students teaches them responsibility and keeps parents from burning out, MacEwan says. But there is a limit, she adds. “Sometimes it can be too much. We caution all our school councils – make sure you go to your community and make sure that you’re getting a feel for how they’re feeling about fundraising.” However, not everyone

Jessica Cunha

Jason Scott hefts electronic waste into a dumpster. More schools are turning to fundraisers where parents don’t have to spend any money as a way to combat fundraising fatigue. For an e-waste drop off, schools receive $185 per tonne. agrees that the problem is a funding shortfall. Joe Allin, chair of the Durham District School Board, believes current government funding is sufficient and that fundraising is a long-standing practice in schools that will take place no matter what. “I’m not convinced it’s associated with need,” Allin says. “That isn’t to say there aren’t needs. I’d say this activity would go on regardless of the level of funding that comes into the schools.” SENSE OF CONNECTION

Fundraising is a way for parents to be active and feel like they’re contributing to their child’s school, says Kidder, of People for Education. “I think it’s a really nice, understandable way to be involved in our kids’ school.” The types of fundraisers being held, the amounts raised and the items bought differ across the province: • In Woodbridge, St. Clare Catholic School, located in a well-to-do neighbourhood, spent funds on school im-

provements, arts enrichment, security cameras and healthyliving initiatives such as yoga in recent years, according to a school council letter to the community. • Rosebank Road Public School in Pickering purchased 11 fans for the school at a cost of $497.08 in 2010-11. • At Holy Cross Catholic School in the Dufferin-Peel Catholic board, the council spent $800 on fans for a portable. There’s no cut-and-dried answer to the pitfalls of fundraising. Sheila Perry spent 30 years working in the education sector in a variety of roles, including principal, teacher, educator, consultant and administrator. With a broad perspective on fundraising from within the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, she says the issue of private dollars funding public education remains a dilemma. “That’s the key, it’s a public system,” says Perry, who is now retired. “The key is to offer things across the board, an equal opportunity as much

as you can. The dilemma becomes when you just can’t or the price is too prohibitive. That’s where you get into the fundraising.” Muddying the issue further is determining the must-have items. For example, the Ministry of Education doesn’t consider technology an essential item for schools. In fact, it slashed the budget for that line item by $25 million for the 201112 school year. In turn, the Ministry’s guidelines deem it acceptable for schools to acquire technology with fundraised dollars. But some in the education sector believe technology is indeed a necessity. “We can’t go to our parent councils or school councils and keep asking for money for what could arguably be described as a 21st-century learning tool in public education,” says Catherine Fife, president of Ontario Public School Boards’ Association. “So let’s find creative ways to address that funding shortfall and not go to fundraising.”

South March parents augment school’s programs ‘We didn’t have books for the kids’: school council Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

Parents at South March Public School learned the dollars and sense of fundraising even before the Briarbrook school opened in 2008. After the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board announced it was moving ahead

with plans to build South March, one parent stepped forward and started collecting books for the school’s library. Since then, the school council holds several events every year to provide extras for the school, such as SMART Boards, library shelves and schoolyard equipment. “This school is basically a

new school – it’s only three years old,” says Susan Daftary, vice chair of the South March school council. “We didn’t have books for the kids. We didn’t have a SMART Board. We didn’t have a math manipulator, so we needed to have fundraising ideas in order to support our school and our students.” Afreen Shaikh, the council chair, says, “Everything we do is for the kids’ education.” In 2010-11, the school council raised more than $12,000 and hopes to best that amount with this year’s four

fundraisers. In 2011-12, the school council held a fall donation fundraiser; a Jars Jars Jars event, where students created jars filled with various items, such as candy and Lego, which were later auctioned off; a cake raffle; and most recently, a silent auction and yard sale on May 26. The day of the silent auction, Shaikh woke up early to help organize the event. “I couldn’t sleep at night, I was having dreams about yard sales,” she says. The school council’s fundraisers benefit all the students at South March, says principal Dorothy Baker. “It augments all of our programs,” Baker says. “There’s never enough funds so parentschool councils do what they can to fundraise.”

EMC sports -The West Ottawa U-13 Warriors won silver in the 18th annual Ice Breaker Soccer Tournament on May 27, hosted by the Ottawa Internationals Soccer Club. With a tournament record of six wins and two losses, the Warriors shut out their opponents in regulation time in six of their games. The girls came out of day one with a record of three wins and one loss, by penalty shoot-out, placing second in their pool. Day two of the tournament saw the girls string together three more wins before finally losing in the gold medal game to the Richmond Hill Raiders. The Warriors gave up an early goal and fought hard to try to equalize through-out the rest of the game. As the Warriors pushed hard to tie the game, a last minute goal by Richmond Hill sealed the result at 2-0. Strikers for the Warriors (Barbora Fabusova, Michelle Furrie, Rachel Provan and Amanda Zhu-Pawlowsky) provided fire power with eight goals, and many hard fought opportunities throughout the tournament.

Singer sewing machine put to good use With longer days on the farm at this time of year, Mother was able to make use of a few extra hours in the evening when she didn’t have to depend on the coal oil lamp for lighting. Although she still spent time each night on her diaries at the kitchen table, she usually was able to find time to pull out the old pedal Singer sewing machine and often worked long into the night.

She was only marginally successful. On those bags, the printing was there to stay. On the summer evenings that Mother tackled the job of turning the bags into something useful, we five children would go to bed upstairs as usual, knowing that Mother’s job would go on long into the night at the Singer sewing machine We weren’t spared our nightly prayers around her knee, however. They were as important as our final trip out to the outhouse before climbing the stairs. I would have trouble falling asleep those nights. Not

Some she was able to buy for a few pennies at the gristmill in Renfrew and the rest came from bags of flour and sugar we bought at Briscoe’s General Store. It would take many washings and bleachings with Javel water to try to rid the bags of their printing. With some, it was impossible. Pride of the Valley, Red Rose and other company logos were there forever, and it wasn’t unusual for me to go off to school in bloomers that still showed Pride of the Valley firmly printed across the seat. But then, I wasn’t the only one at Northcote School who wore flour bag underwear, so there was no embarrassment for any of us girls who’s Mother had put the bags to good use.

because I found the noise of the machine irksome, but because I didn’t want to miss a moment of the sound of it. I could picture in my mind, Mother hunched over the Singer, feeding the flour bags under the foot lever that steered the needle. I could picture her slippered feet working the foot pedal, with the rubber cord that turned the sewing machine into something other than a piece of furniture that held potted geraniums when not in use. How I wished I could be downstairs in the kitchen, sitting beside her, watching her work her miracles with the flour bags. I knew when I came downstairs in the morning, there would be perhaps a new blouse made wearable with added red rick-rack braid around the collar and perhaps bright buttons down the front. Or there would be a stack of fresh tea towels, waiting for my sister Audrey’s deft hand at embroidering the ends with teacups or flowers. The biggest and the best of the bags would be saved for sheets. It would be years before I knew sheets came in one piece. Ours were made of four flour bags, sewn together, with seams going up the centre and from side-to-side. And always there would be new and fresh pinny aprons and of course, one or two pairs of new bloomers. Eventually sleep would overcome me. And I would doze off to the steady click-clack, click clack of the old Singer sewing machine, playing its steady tune downstairs in the kitchen.

EMC news - Stittsville’s population is expected to grow by 20,000 by the year 2021. This would make Stittsville’s total population in the 47,000 range. In 2006, Stittsville’s population was 19,000, with 6,200 dwelling units in the community. In the year 2011, Stittsville’s population had grown to 26,730, with 9,000 dwelling units in the community. This growth is expected to continue, particularly with the Fernbank lands and Kanata west areas continuing to develop. Whereas Stittsville had a population of 19,000 and 6,200 dwelling units in 2006, Kanata had a population of 67,000 with 22,000 dwelling units. A major difference, other than actual population size, is that in 2006 Stittsville had over 81 percent of single family and semi-detached homes whereas Kanata had 61 percent single family homes and semi-detached homes. Kanata had more townhomes and apartments than Stittsville.

Try your hand at making Beat the heat and stay safe cumin-flavoured burgers Homemade patties add a bit of spice to these barbecue treats

I

t’s easy to buy hamburger patties already made up, but if you’d like to have a hamburger with more flavour, you might want to make your own. By adding seasonings to ground beef, along with breadcrumbs and an egg, you can make a hamburger patty with lots of flavour. Whatever seasoning you choose will add its own distinctive taste whether it’s oregano, basil, chili powder, cumin seed, caraway seed, garlic or onion. For the breadcrumbs, you can use dark rye, whole wheat or sourdough bread. This week’s recipe will get you started with a cumin-flavoured mixture that makes great tasting hamburgers. CUMIN & ONION BURGERS

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff • 454 grams lean ground beef • 1 tbsp. olive or vegetable oil • 1/3 cup finely minced onion • 1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs • 1 egg • 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce • 1/4 tsp. cumin seed • 1/4 tsp. salt In a small frying pan, cook the onion in the oil until softened. In a large mixing bowl, combine the onion with the meat and remaining ingredients. Lightly mix the ingredients together with either a rubber spatula or with your hands. The mixture will be messy so wear latex gloves if you’re using your hands. Shape the mixture into four patties about two centimetres thick. Handle the meat gently, and don’t press down on it

too hard. This helps to keep the mixture moist. Cook the hamburgers over high heat on a barbecue grill or frying pan for one to two minutes per side. Move the burgers to an area of medium heat on your barbecue, or lower the frying pan temperature to medium. Lower the barbecue lid or place a lid on the frying pan, and cook the hamburgers for five to six minutes on one side. Don’t press them down with a spatula as this will squeeze out more moisture. Turn the patties over, and cook, covered, for another five to six minutes. When done, the internal temperature of the hamburger patties should read 160 F (71 C) on a meat thermometer. Serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings. Makes four hamburgers.

As the temperature rises, the Red Cross reminds Canadians to stay cool, healthy and safe. While the summer season is a favourite time of year for many, extensive exposure to extreme heat can result in serious medical conditions such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. “First and most importantly, be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day,” says Lesley Anderson, First Aid program representative of the Canadian Red Cross in Ottawa. “A significant amount

of water is lost through sweating, and that needs to be constantly replenished.” Heat-related emergencies include heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Children, the elderly and those with certain health conditions are particularly susceptible. Check on friends and family members who may be isolated or unaware they are at risk. The Red Cross offers the following tips to help you stay safe during hot weather. • Drink plenty of cool fluids, but avoid caffeine and alcohol.

• Avoid being outdoors during the middle of the day, when the sun is at its strongest. • Work and exercise in brief periods. Take frequent breaks in a cool or shaded area. • Dress in light, loose clothing. Wear a hat and sunglasses. • Wear sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF) to protect your skin from sunburn. Symptoms of heat cramps typically include muscle contractions, usually in the legs or abdomen.

Residents celebrate new building Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news – Residents celebrated the end of a long road at their annual summer fun day held in Qualicum-Graham Park on June 9. The community association – along with College Coun. Rick Chiarelli and Ottawa West-Nepean MP John Baird – hosted family fun and thanked a group of residents and city staff who helped clean up the contaminated site of a former school on Esquimault Avenue. The group kicked off the day with a parade in front of the empty lot where the school once stood, and ended at the new community building in Nanaimo Park. Chiarelli said he remembered when he worked with the community association during one of his terms on Nepean city council to build the first community building. “It was a bit like the Beverly Hillbillies; we discovered oil,� he said. The effort to clean up the site lasted another decade and a half, with the city managing to get rid of only a “cup and a half� of oil, according to Chiarelli. Efforts culminated in 2008, when the council of the day agreed to purchase the land for $2.5 million. The plan was to build a new community centre to house the programming that had been taking place in the vacant school. The city also planned to resell the rest of the lot to be developed with low-profile bungalows. Chiarelli said the community was to meet on June 13 to

NOTICE OF COMPLETION OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT REPORT WEST TRANSITWAY EXTENSION – BAYSHORE STATION TO MOODIE DRIVE, CITY OF OTTAWA The Project The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the West Transitway Extension between Bayshore Station and Moodie Drive. The City of Ottawa is proposing to extend the City’s bus rapid transit network (Transitway) from Bayshore Station to west of Moodie Drive. The proposed transit facility will include a fully grade-separated exclusive bus rapid transit corridor and a new station just east of Moodie Drive. The project will improve transit service reliability between downtown and the west urban community by removing the requirement to operate transit service in mixed traffic on Highway 417.

West Carleton school showcase a success Theresa Fritz

Theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC event – Students at the West Carleton School of Performing Arts (WCSOPA) showed they have big time talent during their year-end showcase June 2 to 3.

“Our show was a great success this weekend,” reported WCSOPA director and administrator Melissa Demers. “Both shows had a packed audience at the Ron Maslin Playhouse.”

Demers said the play, written by Anne Mokros, “had the audience rolling with laughter and there was several dances that had the audience in tears.” The performances were diverse and included “BBoy”

— choreographed by Crazy Smooth (director of BBoyizm Dance company), musical theater pieces by Rianna Weatherby and Laila Labelle, ballet by Linda Savasta, jazz and tap by Kelly Greig and contemporary dance by Lai-

la Labelle, Natalie, Yorke and Demers herself. “We gave out several awards thanks to some very generous sponsors (West Carleton March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, Embroid Me - Kanata, Gilks, Dandil-

ion Kids, and Kanata North Family Chiropractic),” Demers said. This year’s scholarship and overall excellence awards went to West Carleton School of Performing Arts student Jamie Greig.

Buddhist temple celebrates anniversary John Curry

John.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - June 2 marked a special milestone in the life of the Cambodian Buddhist Temple on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville. It was a celebration of the 27th anniversary of its founding back in 1985. To mark the occasion, more than 30 attended this special event which began at 10 a.m. and finished with lunch for everyone. After an address by head monk Rath Sam, the Buddhist tradition of the congregation in providing food for the monks took place, with a table stretching in front of the three monks of the Temple – Rath Sam, Bunna Ny and Socheat Norng – being filled with bowls of food. In the Buddhist tradition, monks serving a Temple do not work for money. Rather they are viewed as volunteers who teach the people how to live happily and get along with others. Buddhist monks do not have any material possessions and live depending on the generosity and support of the people who attend the Temple. In this tradition, on ceremonial occasions, food is provided to the monks. The food, though, is not only for the monks. The monks eat first and then everyone present partakes. After the food is placed before the monks, as happened last Saturday at this special anniversary celebration, chanting takes place before the food is eaten. By this chanting, which is done in the Pally language which is one of the oldest languages of India that is also used in Theravada Buddhism, the monks are accepting the food offerings and giving thanks to those who provided the food, wishing them happiness and good luck. In addition, the chanting recognizes and honours the spirit of ancestors who passed away. The current location of the Cambodian Buddhist Temple on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville is the Temple’s third site in its 27 year history. The Temple was initially located on Arlington Avenue in Ottawa from its founding in 1985 to 1987. It then relocated to Morisset Avenue in Ottawa where it remained through to 2004 when it relocated to its current Hazeldean Road location. Over the years at this site, improvements have been made to increase the visibility of the Temple. Two golden lions now grace the front of the site, along with flags. The rear of the Temple includes a spacious paved parking lot. The goals of the Cambodian Buddhist Temple are to promote the teaching of the Buddhist faith in the National Capital Region, to provide religious services and educational instruction in the Buddhist faith, to provide religious, educational, cultural and charitable services to the community at large, and to meet the cultural, social and charitable needs of the community.

Technical issues delay Presto launch OC Transpo smart card fare system launch put off by as much as a month Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

PRESTO CARD

Problems with the Presto Card that have been experienced by those using the card during the trial period have resulted in a postponement of the distribution of the Presto Cards and the full implementation of the system. On June 7, Presto and Transit Chair Deans announced that the distribution of the 200 000 free Presto cards is delayed until the issues have been addressed and resolved. Presto is to cover costs resulting from the delay. In the meantime, the Friends & Family Pilot Project is being extended with 1,000 additional participants added. This will provide more input and testing to ensure that the system will work consistently. The Chair of the Transit Commission, Diane Deans, indicated that for July, users should continue to use their same fare system. I am looking into the Ecopass situation since many had cancelled that pass effective July 1 due to previously provided information. Watch the OC Transpo website for status reports and further information.

LIBRARY DESIGN TO BE UNVEILED

Work has been progressing on the design of the addition to the Beaverbrook Library to enlarge it to serve as the West District Library. Additions are complex and the site required consultation with the Ottawa District School Board, the Recreation Department, and the Kanata Seniors’ Centre – particularly with regard to parking issues. These have now been worked out. On June 20, at 7 pm in Halls A & B of the Mlacak Centre, you can view the planned addition and changes to the site and provide your feedback. Once final comments are received, the final design and site plan will be prepared. The new parking areas will be constructed this fall and building construction will begin next spring.

The City has received a proposal for a building up to 15 storeys at 1131 Teron Road. This has not been approved by staff or me. I will be working with the community association to have meetings to let you know what has been proposed and to discuss a response to it.

The design of the Mural for each entrance of the March Road underpass is underway and the students who will paint it have been chosen. There is a consensus to have the entrance from Kanata with a focus on natural features to tie into moving into the Greenbelt, while the east entrance will be an introduction to the urban area. Once the design is completed, I’ll have it on my website. Painting is to start June 26, at which time, for safety reasons, cyclists will need to walk their bikes through the underpass.

LIGHT RAIL TO BASELINE?

One important part of the light rail system is the route from Tunney’s Pasture to Baseline. The Transportation Committee has approved having additional work done within the environmental assessment, now underway, to determine the best route. In the Transportation Master Plan, this route is the next light rail priority (after the Tunney’s Pasture to Blair section). The number of options for the route has been reduced from 15 to 4. Carling Avenue will be studied as a secondary rail route to serve local needs. The rail connection towards Kanata will also be indicated. By early next year information will be available, and public sessions held, so that you can comment on the route, which is vital towards eventually getting light rail to Kanata.

that the cards aren’t recognizing when the user tops them up with more value. Those issues were enough to make the city put the brakes on the Presto launch with a hastily called press conference on June. 7. “Let me be clear, our customers are our priority and the reality is, the Presto product is not ready,” said Deans, who is also the councillor for Gloucester-Southgate Ward. Deans stressed that OC Transpo is simply a customer buying a product from Metrolinx, so the problem lies with Metrolinx, the provincial agency that oversees the Presto project.

Plantar Fasciitis: Helping to “Heel”

R0011442846

City Councillor, Kanata North

EMC news - The launch of the Presto smart card system for bus fares is being delayed, possibly until Aug.1, after a series of technical issues were discovered. The new payment system won’t be launched until the issues are resolved and there is no firm date, said transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans. She added, however, that she could “imagine” a revised Presto card rollout date of July 8, with the system going live for all users on Aug. 1, a month later than anticipated. Cards were supposed to be released on June 10 and were to begin being used on July 1, but a two-month pilot run has revealed widespread issues with a new type of card reader installed on several hundred OC Transpo buses as part of a “friends and family” pilot project. While Presto is in use in several cities in southern Ontario including Toronto, Ottawa is the first city to roll out a “new generation” system. People involved in

By: Your Local Family Physiotherapy Team Are the first steps you take in the morning the most painful? Do you experience heel pain that travels into your arches the longer you stand? Is arch discomfort keeping you from that half marathon that you so badly want to complete? If so, you may be experiencing a painful condition called Plantar Fasciitis (PF). Plantar fascia is a thin band of connective tissue that runs from your heel bone towards the base of your toes. Plantar Fasciitis, (‘itis’ meaning inflammation) is a repetitive strain injury causing irritation of that band. Sudden overuse is one of the most common causes of PF.

After exercise, your muscles and tissues micro-tear and then begin to heal themselves – That is how they become stronger. Sudden increases in activity without appropriate rest prevents your body from properly healing. Other causes include: worn out footwear, flat feet or high arches, and tightness or weakness of your calf and foot muscles.

process by 1) Providing you with a home exercise program to help relieve the pain 2) Therapeutic Ultrasound, Laser, and Interferential Current 3) Hands on Manual Therapy 4) Custom Orthotics to correct any imbalances in the feet. Addressing the cause and receiving appropriate treatment will help you get rid of that annoying pain in the arch!

PF most often responds well to treatment, especially if it begins soon after the pain starts. Conservative treatment includes rest, ice, activity modification, wearing supportive shoes, and proper stretching. Visiting your local family physiotherapist can help speed up the recovery

A software fix was installed on 60 per cent of the several hundred buses on which Presto readers are being tested, said Bruce McCuaig, president and CEO of Metrolinx. The rest of the card readers were set to get the fix overnight on June 7. “We’re confident the Presto system will work in the City of Ottawa and that we’re going to be in full deployment of the system within the next weeks,” McCuaig said. Deans has asked for a status update from Metrolinx in

10 days to see if the fixes are working. She said she believes OC Transpo customers will be “well served” by the new Presto system once the technical issues are resolved. Until then, riders should continue using regular bus passes, tickets and cash as usual. Initial discussions are leading towards Metrolinx being on the hook for any additional costs for the delay and technical fixes, Deans said, but which party will cover possible cost overruns is not finalized. The city was hoping to give away 200,000 free Presto cards starting June 10 as an incentive to use the system. That’s the same number of Presto users across nine different transit systems in the GTA and Hamilton, McCuaig said.

Reverend protests the exporting of asbestos John Curry

PROTESTS

In April, Dubord held weekly one-hour silent protests in Richmond. In May, Dubord brought his weekly one-hour silent protests to Village Square in Stittsville. But May 30 saw an international aspect develop. A reporter from Der Spiegel, a German weekly news maga-

Almonte Fair celebrates Xmas in July

He said that if this happens, adherents of other faiths may also take up the challenge and start asking questions about Canada’s policy. In Canada, asbestos use is not banned but because of its known health risks, Canadians simply do not use it. But despite the known health hazards, Canada exports thousands of tons of asbestos each year to countries like India, Thailand and Indonesia. Most of this Canadian asbestos is shipped overseas as loose fibre in bags. Workers in these countries then dump these bags of asbestos by hand, creating clouds of carcinogenic dust swirling around them. Past governments have removed asbestos from the Parliament Buildings at considerable expense because of its hazardous tendencies. But the federal government still spends money to promote Canadian asbestos to overseas nations.

EMC news - A Richmond reverend is protesting the export of asbestos from Canada to developing countries. Rev. Michel Dubord of St. John’s Anglican Church, has held one-hour silent protests in Richmond and Stittsvile and planned to continue the vigils on June 6 and 13 in Kanata. Dubord was scheduled to be at the corner of Castlefrank and Kakulu roads on June 13 and plans to continue the Wednesday protests at another Kanata location. Dubord said he feels that the protests are making a difference, at least in increasing awareness of the situation and getting Canadians to ask questions.

zine, visited the group and interviewed Dubord for a story about Canada’s export of asbestos. The reporter is also planning a trip to India as part of the story, since India is one of the countries that accepts Canada’s asbestos. The German reporter said he can’t understand why Canada continues to export asbestos, a cancer causing material, to countries such as India. But federal government policy still allows for asbestos to be exported to other countries. It is this export of asbestos that Dubord and his supporters are opposed to. Dubord said he is frustrated by the lack of government response to these concerns. Even the Der Spiegel reporter admitted that the Canadian government is being very silent on the whole issue, not responding to any inquiries. Dubord is hopeful that the Anglican Church of Canada may soon be issuing a formal proclamation on the issue.

EMC events – Although the Almonte Fair isn’t happening until July 20-22, the North Lanark Agricultural Society (NLAS) directors have been hard at work for months, planning events to entertain and educate families. The theme for this year’s fair is “Christmas in July,” so the craft section will feature many ideas for Christmas creations, but it will be difficult to get a volunteer to wear a Santa suit in the middle of July. Once again the demolition derby will be Friday night’s show. Saturday night features the outhouse races, Square Dancing Tractors from Renfrew County, and the Dirty Dishes – a trio of young country, bluegrass and gospel singers. Riding Shotgun and The Stool Pigeons will also provide music on Friday and Saturday nights in the beer garden. On Sunday, Cow Plop Bingo and the Pet Show are in addition to the heavy horse show at the grandstand. Advance sales of the midway bracelets will be available. For further information, visit www.almontefair.com. Contacts are set up for email by title. For example, concessions@almontefair.com. Volunteers are needed at fair time, including students who need volunteer hours. Tasks include working with children and animals in the hall or education barn, as well as helping in the office.

SNORING?

SLEEP APNEA?

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes

being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals. To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH � Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS � For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day #23 I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS �It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. � Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing.

After I got Bell attacking skin from the outside #60, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within 2 days and leaving the actual cause I saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless.

The first seeds of a partnership between a community garden and the food bank were planted on June 4. Chair of the Nepean Allotment Garden Association Mike Chebbo, with co-ordinator of the community harvest program for the Ottawa Food Bank Jason Gray, Barbara Carroll, executive director of the Debra Dynes Family House and Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli plant the first seeds at the gardens on Viewmount Drive on June 4 to announce the associations participation in the plant a row, grow a row program for the Ottawa Food Bank.

Community partnership takes root EMC news – The first seeds of a partnership between a local community garden and the Ottawa Food Bank were planted on June 4. The Nepean Allotment Gardens Association and the Debra Dynes Family House announced a partnership has taken root. Through the Ottawa Food Bank’s Plant a Row, Grow a Row program, the community garden will provide a weekly donation to the food bank outlet at Debra Dynes. Barbara Carroll, the executive director of the family house, said that their food bank outlet serves 1,200 people a month, without about two-thirds coming from the Merivale-Viewmount area. “This is a really great program because so much of the food people donate has to have a shelf life but it isn’t always the healthiest option,” she said at the June 4 annoucement. Mike Chebbo, chair of the allotment association, said there is often a lot of leftover produce come harvest time and it makes sense to donate that to those in need. “We always have an end of the season harvest and people always plant too much of things like tomatoes, so there is a lot left over,” he said. The food bank program to encourage community gardeners, residents and farmers to donate a portion of their produce during the growing season is a national effort that

has grown in popularity over the last couple of years according to community harvest co-ordinator for the Ottawa Food Bank, Jason Gray. Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli said he wasn’t surprised to see the allotment association helping out in the community. The gardens have a waiting list of more than 100 people and just announced an expansion of the gardens to an adjacent lot on Viewmount Drive in April. “It’s a really simple solution, but one that will provide healthier choices for people who need help from the food bank,” Egli said. The Plant a Row, Grow a Row program is available for anyone with a garden who wishes to help out. Carroll

said people are welcome to contact their local food bank to co-ordinate delivery.

OSU has a strategic alliance with USA’s number one ranked youth soccer club, the Dallas Texans (www.dallastexans.com), and is the only NIKE Premier soccer club in Canada. OSU was recently recognized with the distinguished Gold Level in club soccer excellence ranking by the Ontario Soccer Association (OSA).

JUNE 17 SCOTIABANK PLACE 8 A.M. TO 12 P.M.

MEET ROGER’S DREAM TEAM The Roger’s Dream Team roster consists of a group of Roger’s House children who will be spearheading the charge to encourage families, individuals, companies and organizations to participate in the annual fundraising event. To support one of these children or for event details, please visit www.sensfoundation.com or call 613-599-0323.

Alex Ferguson Alex keeps everyone loose in the dressing room. His amazing sense of humour helps when the team gets nervous before a big game.

t.

Join us at this year’s even Amanda Caceres

At seven years old, Amanda is one of our seasoned veterans and brings experience to the young squad. She visits Roger’s House about every two months, especially in the spring and summer. Because she requires 24/7 care due to multiple medical issues, these respite stays provide both her and her parents some much needed rest.

Eliane Bissonnette Eliane is one of the high flyers on the team, always on the the move! At only 15 months, Eliane can be spotted scooting around on her zebra buggy or her jumperoo. She’s definitely going to be a fan favourite with our Francophone supporters as she primarily speaks French at home.

Three years ago, Alex was diagnosed with a neurological degenerative disorder that saw him go from playing soccer to being in a wheelchair. Yet this has not broken his amazing spirit.

Connor Haynes A proud member of the Dream Team, Connor brings a lot of enthusiasm to his role on the squad. A huge Senators fan, he loves when the Senators are on TV. As well as watching hockey, he also enjoys the Snoezelen Room at Roger’s House which provides many forms of sensory stimulation as a means of therapy.

Willyam Berube Willyam is one of the most spirited members of this year’s Dream Team squad. He loves to go into the corners, particularly for hugs with his loving parents and the staff and volunteers at Roger’s House.

Jaxon Elliott-Sprysa Jaxon is a big sports and movie fan. When he’s not working out with the Dream Team, he’s usually playing Wii sports like baseball and bowling, or chilling with a good Disney movie. At 8½, Jaxon has proven that he’s a fighter. He was born premature and before he was 4, he’d spent over a year in hospital.

Jordyn Deveau-Yurich Jordyn’s positive attitude makes her a hugely valuable member of this year’s squad. She loves a challenge. Now nine, she has been getting around in her power chair since age six. Jordyn and her family benefitted from time at Roger’s House to transition from complete assistance with medical care before heading home.

Lily Beaupre

Sixteen year old Nicholas loves the excitement of the game and being on the Dream Team. Even though he requires assistance in all daily activities his thirst and love for life is abundant. His relationship with Roger’s House only started in May 2011 but both he and his family really benefit from the support.

Qavagua Tunnillie Qav is the captain of this year’s Dream Team by right of his age and his experience. A real go-getter, he has been practicing with Ottawa power wheelchair hockey players and is joining their team this year. Undaunted by his medical condition, Qav goes to St. Mark’s High School, getting himself around in an electric wheelchair.

R0011449924

Two and a half year old Lily brings a real competitive edge to her line on the team. Although she was crawling up until just before her second birthday, she is no longer able. Her parents use Roger’s House for respite which is able to provide the same around the clock medical attention they provide, and still in a home-like setting.

OC Transpo cuts hydro costs with lighting retrofit

File photo

Joseph Arthur, a singer-songwriter from Akron, Ohio, was among the artists to perform at last year’s Ottawa Folk Festival, which was held at Hog’s Back Park for the first time. This year’s lineup, announced on June 6 , will feature the likes of Grammy Award-winning act Bon Iver, Ottawa native Kathleen Edwards, roots rocker Ben Harper, Vancouver singersongwriter Dan Mangan as well as Newfoundland group Great Big Sea

Bon Iver headlines folk fest Eddie Rwema

eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC entertainment – Grammy-winner Bon Iver is the headline act for this year’s Ottawa Folk Festival. The festival will return to Hog’s Back Park and run from Sept. 6 to 10, a month after than usual, and an extra day has been tacked on to the five-day event. “We made a decision to go to September because of the availability of artists,” said folk festival artistic director Mark Monahan. “We think in terms of timing, it really depends on the artist who wants to come.” Part of the reason why the festival was extended by a day was to accommodate Bon Iver who Monahan said will help raise the profile of the festival. “There is a huge fan base for him and he has never played in Ottawa before. It will be a huge night and will draw a lot of attention to the rest of the line-up as well,” said Monahan. Bon Iver is an American folk band founded in 2007 by indie-folk singer-songwriter Justin Vernon. The earliest the band wanted to play was Monday, Sept. 10. Monahan said he expects a repeat of last year’s increase in attendance, powered by an all-star line-up. Some of the other big names include Ottawa native Kathleen Edwards (who is dating Bon Iver frontman Vernon),American roots-rocker Ben Harper, Newfoundland folk-rockers Great Big Sea, Dan Mangan, and Matthew Good. Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac fame has also been confirmed to appear at the festival on Sept. 7. “In concert at this year’s Ottawa Folk Festival, expect Lindsey Buckingham to mix it up between his solo career and Fleetwood Mac hits for an unforgettable live show,” Festival organizers said in a

statement. “Once again we are raising a bar in terms of the talent we are presenting,” said Monahan. Monahan hopes this year’s lineup will draw bigger crowds than before. “Close to 10,000 a day, nearly double what we had in

2010.” Monahan took control of the Folk Festival last year, doubling the number of musicians participating and moving the event from Britannia Park to Hog’s Back Park. Organizers also announced the return of their interactive

and performance workshops. “Patrons with no experience and a song in their heart will get a kick-start in learning a new instrument.” Regularly priced tickets go on sale June 9. See www.ottawafolk.com for a detailed schedule and ticket information.

Bryce Conrad, Hydro Ottawa’s President and CEO, presents a cheque to Jim Greer of OC Transpo, Mayor Jim Watson and Councillor Diane Deans.

With the help of the Hydro Ottawa Group of Companies, OC Transpo has cut its lighting costs by 43 percent at its St. Laurent garage. Energy Ottawa performed an energy audit and implemented turnkey solutions to improve energy efficiency at the bus garage. Energy Ottawa, a subsidiary of Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc., is the City’s preferred energy management partner. The project included replacing inefficient light fixtures and installing sensors that can turn off some lighting when the garage is not occupied. With a return on investment of about three years, this lighting retrofit is expected to cut energy costs by more than $137,000 each year. The new energy-efficient lamps also last more than 75 percent longer – reducing maintenance costs. “I am very pleased to present to OC Transpo more than $95,000 in incentives through the saveONenergy Retrofit program. The program is designed to help businesses manage energy consumption and keep electricity costs lower,” said Bryce Conrad, President and CEO of Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. “It is great to be able to accept this cheque on behalf of the City of Ottawa and OC Transpo and to thank Hydro Ottawa at the same time,” said Mayor Jim Watson. “It shows what can be accomplished with teamwork as together we improve our environment and save energy and money while providing transit services to our residents.” The St. Laurent project is the third garage lighting retrofit that Energy Ottawa has completed with OC Transpo. “Energy-saving incentives like this project helps OC Transpo become a sustainable workplace and shows that we are committed to reducing energy and maintenance costs for taxpayers,” said Transit Commission Chair, Councillor Diane Deans.

An enchanting, shut-out-the-world, 4 seasons, spacious home/ retreat, lovingly renovated inside & out. Melding the past of a wonderful old farmhouse with the present. Mellow hues, high ceilings, some plank flooring, V-joint ceilings & an original stairway evoke nostalgic influences. The lakeside boasts a popular, extra large wrap-around porch with 2 french doors facilitating the comings & goings of family & guests. Gravitate to the sun-drenched great room with stone fireplace or, to the country kitchen, embellished with clever cabinetry. The centerpiece of the kitchen has a working, ivory porcelain Oval wood cookstove. A laundry/mud room, a large master bedroom, den/guest bedroom & 4 pce bath are at rear of home. Upstairs is replete with personality having 2 bedrooms & a 2 pce bath. Other heat options include oil furnace & electric baseboard. 200 amp service. On well & septic. Surveyed lot 56’ waterfront x 170’ depth (+/-). Taxes - $2,520.00 (+/-). Nature does deserve much credit having mature trees, perennial beds, a splendid lake view, swimming & direct access to travel the beautiful & historical Rideau Canal Waterway. Dock included.

Gourmet food truck, fake ‘beach’ and reading garden to pop up by canal NCC launches new projects to animate the Rideau Canal and attract tourists Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

The initiative launched on June 7 at the Capital Reading Garden, one of the five winning ideas. It was hatched by Old Ottawa East resident Mary Beth Baker, who worked on the proposal as part of her Master of library and information studies degree in 2009. The garden is located just south of the Corkstown footbridge near the University of Ottawa, on the east side of the canal. It’s a simple concept based on the Bryant Park Reading Room in New York. Baker’s non-profit group, the Capital Community Reading Garden, purchased about a dozen moveable chairs and some reading materials thanks to a $1,000 grant from the Ottawa chapter of the Awesome Foundation. The chairs will be set up and accompanied by a volunteer one weekend per month, July through September. People can stop by to relax in the shade, grab a book, magazine or newspaper or take advantage of the garden’s free Wi-Fi Internet. Baker said she wanted to provide a more passive activity for people to enjoy along the canal, which is lined with multi-use pathways usually packed with runners and cyclists. Baker said she hopes to continue the garden in the location for another two years,

pending funding. Although not yet on the horizon, she said other areas in the city, such as the new William Street pedestrian area in the ByWard Market, might make good locations for additional open-air libraries. You can follow the project on Twitter @CapReadingGdn. GOURMET FOOD TRUCK

Thai-inspired delights await at a new gourmet food truck surrounded by patio seating in the shadow of the new Ottawa Convention Centre. Sachin Anand of LeBreton Flats and Jason Victor of Nepean are calling it Pop-Up Patio and hope to feature a rotating menu of south-Asian and Middle-Eastern inspired dishes created in conjunction with chef Dung Lee, who runs a Thai soup truck at Lisgar and Elgin streets in Centretown. Sample dishes on launch day included a middle-eastern Kafka burger, Thai green curry jumbo shrimp on rice, a Vietnamese pork sub, short ribs and green curry poutine. That will be welcome news to Ottawa foodies, who often moan that Ottawa’s foodtruck licensing system is too restrictive and doesn’t allow for more creative options popping up in other cities. By the end of July, the duo hopes to license the patio and

serve alcohol. The Pop-Up Patio will be open Thursday through Sunday until October. BEACH AND MORE

Another food offering is more familiar and sure to cool down parched canal-goers: four ice-cream trucks will be stationed along the canal, most likely at the University of Ottawa, near the Laurier Bridge, at Dow’s Lake and perhaps near Pretoria Bridge, said Beverly Vanderschoot, who owns Iceco Ltd. with her husband, in the Trainyards area. The carts will operate on weekends only until midJune, when they will be out every day of the week. One of the ice cream carts will likely be stationed near a makeshift beach on the north side of the Corkstown Bridge, also near the university. Dubbed “Rideau Beach and 8 Locks Flat,” the temporary beach will be modeled after an urban beach created on the shores of the Seine in Paris each summer. It will operate daily from June until October and visitors will likely have a chance to participate in activities such as yoga, beach chair and umbrella rentals and local food and drink offerings. On Sept. 2, the organiz-

ers of the spring Capital Vélo Fest will hold a decorated bicycle ride in an attempt to set a world record for the largest number of participants. For more information about these initiatives, check the NCC’s website at www. canadascapital.gc.ca.

Dick Louch of Capital Vélo Fest makes a smoothie as he shows off his decorated “blender” bike – the type of outrageous bicycle he hopes to see lining the canal on Sept. 2 for a world-record decorated bicycle ride.

EMC news - A gourmet food truck, reading garden, temporary “beach” and more will pop up along the Rideau Canal this summer. It’s part of a new effort by the National Capital Commission to provide more attractions to “animate” the canal, a UNESCO World Heritage site that’s already a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. But this summer, there will be a bit more to see, eat and do along the canal. The NCC sought some innovative ideas to add more interest to the popular outdoor feature and while it isn’t funding the five projects it chose, it’s allowing them to use NCC land to make their ideas come to life. NCC chief executive Marie Lemay applauded the creativity of the 42 proposals the five winners were chosen from, calling their architects “creative entrepreneurs and city builders.” It’s a new idea for the NCC and “a bit of a risk,” Lemay said, but if the projects are successful they could continue for another two years.

Teacher to launch program for special needs kids Music education in Kanata centre a first for North America John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news – A teacher is launching a music program for special needs children, the first of its kind in North America, in Kanata on Sunday, June 17. The Lotus Centre for Special Music Education will open its doors at 100 Schneider Rd., off of March Road, a 163-square-metre building, located next to the Kanata Music Centre. Youngsters from all across the area are expected to be students at this new facility. Erin Parkes, a Stittsville woman, said she believes music can help special needs youngsters. The music teacher is a doctoral student at McGill University where she has been researching the impact of music on special needs youngsters and is a mother of a six year old son with autism. There has been very little research done on the impact of music education on special needs children. That is why this new Lotus Centre for Special Music Education will also be a research and teacher training centre as well

as a music education spot for children. Many children with developmental disorders or learning disabilities respond to music, Parkes points out, noting that exposure to music can improve the motor skills of such children. Children with autism, for example, have trouble with communication and language. But with music, these children can communicate without having to cross the language barrier. Parkes also points out that children with autism frequently tend to have perfect pitch and so they can learn music well by ear. Difficulties with communication are eliminated. To start off, the Lotus Centre for Special Music Education will be offering its services at a price comparable to regular music lessons. That’s because the lotus Centre for Special Music Education is a non-profit organization and all of the teachers, including Parkes, are offering their services on a volunteer basis, at least for now. In addition, Parkes says that as a parent of an autistic

child, it is important to her to offer the programs at the Lotus Centre for a price as low as possible. She knows the challenges associated with raising a child with developmental or learning disabilities. Programming for the Lotus Centre continues to evolve but there will be a music and movement program. There will be group classes as well as private music lessons offered. In addition, Parkes is looking for a guitar teacher and also a drummer. A drum circle, for instance, can be helpful for children with coordination issues. The Lotus Centre for Special Music Education hopes to add to the currently sparse research about the efficiency of different teaching methods and to determine if music lessons can improve functioning in other areas such as fine motor skills for children with developmental disorders and learning disabilities. If it can be proven that music does improve functioning in other areas, then music could become a valuable aspect of education for special needs youngster. Parkes is one of a small number who are undertaking research in this field. There is ongoing work in Finland and the United Kingdom but Parkes is virtually unique in Canada doing research on this subject. She continues to believe that there is much value in music education for special needs children but unfortunately this has not been a priority at all for those involved in music education. Parkes hopes to change this with her Lotus Centre for Special Music Education. Parkes chose the name “Lotus” for her new endeavour because of the connection of the lotus with yoga, which she really enjoys, but also because the lotus flower symbolizes a person growing into his or her

This is what she hopes to accomplish for special needs children with her Lotus Centre for Special Music Education. She is open to offer yoga with music or any other program that would make a difference for special needs children that is not available anywhere at present. Through the Lotus Centre

for Special Music Education, Parkes hopes to meet a community need for specialized music education for children who would benefit from such programming. In her view every child has a right to appropriate education including in music. This stems from a belief that music education can provide a means of communication, can improve function and performance in nonmusical areas and can provide an emotional outlet. Parkes hopes to provide individually designed music education programs to allow students with developmental disorders or learning disabilities to reach their full poten-

tial. Students from age two to adult who have developmental disorders or learning disabilities as well as those with a gifted learning profile will be the main focus at the Lotus Centre. But any student who would benefit from individually designed alternative music education will be welcome. Parkes developed her concept of the Lotus Centre based on her experiences teaching children with special needs, the diagnosis of her son with autism spectrum disorder and her doctoral research. All three indicated to her a pressing need for a specialized centre that could provide music lessons, conduct research to determine the most effective methods and train other teachers to work with children with special needs. Parkes has her bachelor of music, master of arts in musicology and a graduate certificate in piano pedagogy from the University of Ottawa. She has completed the course work for her doctorate in music education at McGill University where she is researching music education for children with autism spectrum disorder and learning disabilities. She has taught music since 1996, working with youth of all ages. She frequently presents at conferences on music teaching for students with special needs.
