EMC news - A new roundabout in Bridlewood is helping to ease traffic congestion and making it easier for pedestrians to cross. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said he’s been visiting the site every couple of days to talk to people who are using the new intersection and see how the construction was coming along. “This is a long overdue change for the residents,” he said, adding there was too much traffic congestion at the intersection at Stonehaven, Bridgestone and Steeple Chase drives when it was a four-way stop. Workers were installing new signage on Wednesday, Aug. 29. See ROUNDABOUT, page 5

EMC news - A meeting on a proposed highrise development in Beaverbrook drew a large crowd on Monday, Aug. 27. Around 300 people turned out for the end-of-summer meeting to discuss a two-tiered, 10- and 15-storey apartment
building, coupled with six three-storey townhomes, that has been proposed for development at 1131 Teron Rd. by developer Phil Bottriell. “Residents from all of Beaverbrook ... came out for another meeting the last week in August. Not just six people, but nearly 300 people – engaged and enraged,” said Eileen How-
ell, who lives on Reaney Court with her husband Andrew Stirling. The two have been collecting funds from the community to help pay for legal consultation regarding the rezoning application, as well as for another nine-storey building proposed for 2 The Parkway. “People are turning out in droves because they’re fed up with these types of proposals,” said Gary Sealey, president of the Kanata Beaver-
brook Community Associaiton (KBCA). “The people are uniting ... People think this is
bad development.”

Teron Road proposal ‘bad development’: residents The consensus of many in the audience was that the proposed development is too high and doesn’t fit within the garden community, which is comprised of mostly lowrise, single family homes and townhouses. “This is just not a good piece of land for what’s being proposed,� said resident Jim Birtch. “This development is trying to shoehorn a very large development into a small piece of land.� “Scale it down,� said Langley Rock, a resident of Beaver-
brook. With 173 units proposed for the highrise building as well as six townhomes, Rock said that instead of trying to blend in with the surroundings, the developer is trying to make as much money as possible. “To be honest, it sounds like a cash grab,� he said. “You’re looking for something that fits, we want something that fits too.� The developer did say that “if it comes down to it, the number of stories is up for discussion,� adding, “We’re not there yet.�

DEVELOPMENT
Developer Bottriell requested the meeting to present the plans that were submitted to the city. He owns about 1.48 hectares of land at 1131 Teron Rd., where his house sits. The triangle of land also houses a hydro corridor and backs onto March Road and the Bethune condominiums. “It is on the edge of the community,� he said. “We’re not within the garden city concept that Mr. (Bill) Teron created.� He said that when compared to other highrises in the community, the percentage of lot coverage is about the same. The Varley apartments have about seven per cent lot coverage, the Atriums cover about 15 per cent, and the development on Teron would cover around 10 per cent. “You can’t compare to the Varley apartments,� said Dave Brown. “The Atriums is also on a much larger piece of land.� Only about 0.2 to 0.3 hectares of the site is developable at 1131 Teron Rd. because of the hydro easement, said Bottriell, adding he thought about using the site for other purposes – such as additional townhomes, office or commercial space, but

Close to 300 people turned out for a meeting to discuss a two-tiered, 10- and 15-storey apartment building with six three-storey townhomes, that has been proposed. decided condominiums are best for the property. “I’ve been approached by everyone of these but I’ve said ‘Nah, I don’t think that’s good for the property,’� said Bottriell. “One of the reasons why I’ve pushed for the condo aspect is for seniors.� He told the audience his mother is looking for lowmaintenance living and with an aging demographic in the area, a highrise would better suit the needs of the population. “The hope is that people from here will live there.� Many in the audience didn’t agree that a highrise is the right choice. “This doesn’t fit, it doesn’t enhance the community at all,� said Gail White, a resident of Bethune. “The only thing that would fit would be townhomes.� Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she would be submitting her comments after the meeting. “I’m going to stress the whole fact of following the Official Plan, of being compatible,� she said. “Townhouses fit ... It has to be the right development in the right place.�
She added that residents’ concerns with the setback of the building are “legitimate concerns.� The setback of the building is being touted as 10 metres – but that’s from the building to the curb. From the building to the property line is only three metres. “Please don’t try to pull the wool over our eyes. We’re not stupid,� said resident Beata Myhill. “We need transparency and we need honesty.� TRAFFIC
The architect and engineers hired by the developer to work on the project presented their findings during the meeting. According to a traffic study completed for the proposed development by D. J. Halpenny & Associates Ltd., the site would generate: • An extra 68 trips during the peak morning hour (8-9 a.m.). • An extra 63 trips during the peak afternoon hour (4:15-5:15 p.m.). • An extra 69 trips during the peak Saturday hour (1-2 p.m.). According to the traffic specialist, there are an average of

4,000 to 5,000 trips currently made at the March and Teron roads intersection during the peak morning and afternoon hours. “We’re dealing with a bad situation,� said city planner Marc Magierowicz. “It’s not going to be that much worse.� A number of residents voiced their displeasure with the traffic situation. One resident said the study is skewed because it wasn’t conducted during the “actual peak time� during the school year, which runs later in the morning. Myhill said Teron and Steacie roads is a “failed intersection,� meaning there is too much traffic for the intersection to manage already. “We’re already at the lowest rating so what the heck,� she said. There are “no additional modifications� set for the Steacie and Teron, and Teron and March intersections, said the traffic specialist. Architect Toon Dreessen said there is “virtually no change� between the shadow cast by a three-storey and a 15-storey building at 4 p.m. He added the proposed walkways could connect the condo with those at Bethune and to the rest of the neighbourhood, and said the three-storey townhomes will tie into those already in the community. With a nine-storey, 120unit building proposed for 2 The Parkway, resident Melissa Clark asked Magierowicz if the city looks at the impact of both proposals if they were to be approved when assessing each site. “It takes a lot of faith to know the city planners are looking at that,� he said, adding he didn’t have statistics with him on the possible impact on the traffic and sewer systems if both proposals are given the green light.

Kanata entrepreneurs release iPhone video-sharing app blair.edwards@metroland.com
EMC news - A group of young entrepreneurs is preparing to launch a new app that allows users to share videos using their smartphones. Crewcam Inc., a startup based in the Kanata North Research Park, will release the video app this week for Apple iPhone users. The sharing of video over the internet is nothing new, said Ryan Brink, Crewcam’s chief technical officer. Video apps like Viddy and Socialcam – not to mention social networking sites such as YouTube and Facebook – allow users to broadcast content across the worldwide web in an instant. But video is significantly more personal than photographs or other types of content, said Brink, and users are hesitant to make it instantly available for the world. YouTube may list hundreds of millions of users, but less than two per cent of those actually post content onto the site, said Brink. The Crewcam app allows users to share their videos with a small, select group, such as friends, family or co-workers. “Crewcam makes it easy to share it with the specific people you want to see the video,” said Brink. The company tested a version of the app with several hundred users and plans to re-
BLAIR EDWARDS/METROLAND
Ryan Brink, chief technical officer of Crewcam Inc., a company based in the Kanata North Research Park, says his company’s new iPhone app will allow smartphone users to share video among a select group of people. lease Crewcam 1.2 on the Apple app store either this week or next. “Right now it’s just iPhones,” said Brink. “We’ll be building an Android version and a web version over the next few months.” The basic crewcam app is available free of charge, said Brink. A version with additional features will also be available for purchase, he added, with applications such as one that
allows groups to collaborate on projects. Professors at Carleton University, where Brink is finishing a degree in information technology, said the app could be an effective way for them to communicate with their students. Teachers could record a school assignment and offer a step-by-step solution to the problem on video and send it to their students’ smartphones. “It’s easier and faster than
email,” said Brink. The Crewcam app could also be used by parents to keep tabs on their children, he said, with children checking in when they arrive home via video. “The parents also get to see their kid and they get to see they are home,” Brink said. This mobile phone feature might make parents feel more comfortable about allowing their children a night out at the movies or at a restaurant. “You could almost see it become a replacement for text messaging,” he said. Meanwhile, the app shouldn’t force users to pay extra for their smartphone data-usage plan. Smartphone users can upload 100 videos a month – 45 seconds of video amounts to about five megabytes in data, said Brink – and still remain under a standard one-gigabyte smartphone data usage plan, he said. KANATA START-UP
Crewcam was founded last April by a team of three friends: Brink, Gregory Flatt and Desmond McNamee, who all studied at Carleton University and worked for Live QoS, a network intelligence company based in Kanata. Brink and McNamee are still finishing their degree in the information technology program while Flatt graduated
last year with a degree in software engineering. The fourth member of the team is Danielle Tran, a graphic artist. The company raised its startup money from a group of angel investors connected with Live QoS. Leo Lax, a former assistant vice-president at Mitel and
also Newbridge Networks, agreed to serve as CEO of the newly-formed company. Lax is currently the CEO of Skypoint, a high-tech company he co-founded in 1998. Crewcam is currently looking to hire a senior software developer as well as someone to help the company out on the marketing front, said Brink.

Construction workers were busy installing the last few yield signs at each entrance to the roundabout, and lines had been painted on the road to indicate the proper crosswalk areas. “We’ll be having a big increase in traffic with back to school, and pedestrian traffic,” said Hubley. The roundabout will have two crossing guards to help with pedestrian traffic as students head to and from school, and there is a possibility of adding a third guard if needed, said Hubley. Thirteen-year-old Emma, who didn’t want her last name used, said the new roundabout makes it easier to navigate the traffic as a pedestrian. “It’s a lot easier to cross,”
she said. Isabella Zhang said she finds the roundabout harder to use as a pedestrian as opposed to the previous four-way stop, but she added that the cars do stop for her when she’s trying to get from one side to the other. CYCLISTS
The curbs on the sidewalk around the roundabout have been cut to allow access to cyclists when navigating the roundabout. People on bicycles have the option of using the sidewalk or staying on the road. “We’ve got nice big wide sidewalks,” said Hubley. As well, the curb on the centre median have been slanted so large vehicles can make their turns easier.
“It’s designed to handle a big truck,” said Hubley. “It’s purposefully rounded.” So far, no accidents have been reported, he added. “People are taking their time.” A Bridlewood sign will be installed in the centre of the intersection in the spring, said Hubley, “when people are a little more comfortable with the roundabout.” STONEHAVEN
Now that the roundabout is complete, construction efforts will be focused on finishing the widening of Stonehaven. “The focus will be on going from here to Eagleson,” he said. “Every couple of weeks we should see some improvement.” The widening of the road,

plug culverts along with infrastructure repairs? We have some serious questions about this installation from a functional and aesthetic perspective. It is definitely a monstrosity now but even when the water levels come back and if the beavers dam on the outside fence, it will still do nothing to hide all the metal and piping that has been installed inside the fence. Our centre had the opportunity to see the beaver deceivers that were recently installed for the city of Corn-
as well. The issue we have is that this provincially-significant wetland is a low-risk site with respect to beaver conflict. Thus, it’s hard not to see this installation as a cynical public relations exercise to divert attention away from the fact that the City of Ottawa still plans to trap beavers in storm water ponds, municipal drains and at the other sites where the majority of the 134 beavers were trapped and killed last year. If the city really wanted to evaluate the success of water flow devices, why wouldn’t it install them in actual conflict sites? How else can you evaluate the success of these devices compared to the annual costs of trapping, the very significant labour and equipment costs required to regularly un-

routes on quieter streets are not available, but the placement of segregated bike lanes should not interfere with the educated cyclists travel options for a direct and efficient utilitarian ride. Peter McNichol Can-Bike instructor Kanata
R0011582883
To the editor: As a vehicular cyclist I am a bit miffed by reports that Ottawa is considering moving towards more segregated bike lanes and less painted bike lanes. Segregated bike lanes may have their place when other options are not available, but before the city considers more segregated bike lanes I would hope they weigh the options and consider the following better and less controversial options like: • Placing bike routes on neighbouring side streets (with or without bike lanes) which removes conflict as long as access through intersections and a cyclist’s starting point and destination are considered. • Placing bike paths using linear park systems as is the case of the National Capital Commission pathways, hydro right-of-ways, or city pathways like one along West Hunt Club Road or the multitude of pathways in Kanata. • More and better education of all road users, including Can-Bike for child and adult cyclists, and cycle awareness skills for motorists. Segregated bike lanes should never replace bike lanes along major roads like West Hunt Club, Hunt Club or March roads. Bike lanes on major roads will never provide for novice cyclists. Segregated bike lanes on major roads are not the answer. Some may argue for no bike lanes. I, as a Can-Bike instructor, do not support that camp either. Painted bike lanes act as a shoulder on a highway and allow cyclists that extra buffer of space from motor vehicles on high speed roads. Furthermore, since you have an 80 per cent chance of dying when hit by a motorist travelling at 50 kilometres per hour, separation makes a difference for safer roads when speed reduction is not an option. Segregated bike lanes will make little to no difference to safety at speeds above 50 kilometres per hour. Painted bike lanes allow cyclists the comfort of some separation from high speed vehicles while still allowing the cyclists to exit the bike lane to avoid obstacles and for proper positioning at intersections. Educated cyclists usually
avoid segregated bike lanes. When an educated cyclist encounters a segregated bike lane, they have three options: • Using a segregated bike lane, which reduces maneuverability and comes with increased danger to the cyclist. • The option of cycling in the all vehicle portion of the road and facing the wrath of motorists who think they own the road because they pay gas taxes which do not build city streets. • Choose an alternate, less convenient and less direct route. The third option is preferred, however, the educated cyclists will do well to consider option two over option one. In summary segregated bike lanes have limited uses for low speed dense traffic situations where alternate

Students caught in labour battle crossfire
P
lease, won’t someone think of the children? Ontario’s government and teachers’ unions don’t seem to be. The cash-strapped Ontario government and several of the province’s teachers unions are embroiled in a battle over proposed legislation to force a wage freeze on elementary and high school teachers. The unions say they are willing to accept a wage freeze, but call the government’s bill unconstitutional
and a violation of workers’ rights. The bill, titled Putting Students First, also calls for teachers to take a 1.5 per cent pay cut in the form of three unpaid professional development days and elimination of banked sick days. Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty insists these measures are necessary to maintain jobs and continue to roll out the full-day kindergarten program across Ontario. Meanwhile, a growing
number of teachers, angry over what they call heavyhanded legislation, are threatening to withdraw voluntary services, such as coaching teams and directing plays after school. The media also has reports of teachers who are considering removing class educational materials they have purchased out of their own pocket. Both the government and the teachers say they are fighting for students’ education.
We beg to differ. The Ontario government’s bill was created to balance the books – and preserve Dalton McGuinty’s legacy as the “education premier.� The teachers are simply trying to preserve their collective bargaining rights. But the kids are getting caught in the middle. If teachers individually choose not to volunteer after school, that could mean fewer extra-curricular activities available for students.
Our children should not be used as a collective bargaining chip. Premier McGuinty, for his part, should keep in mind that teachers freely volunteer their time to provide extracurricular activities for students. The dispute almost seems a little silly, as both sides have agreed a wage freeze is necessary, at least for the short-term. It’s ridiculous that both sides are engaged in what amounts to last-minute
negotiations. A deal should have been worked out months ago. Instead of ironing out a deal, it seems both sides have engaged in a little game of Russian roulette. Unfortunately, it’s the province’s children who will end up the ultimate losers in their little game. Both sides need to abandon their public posturing, and focus instead on working out a deal that addresses each other’s concerns.
COLUMN
Connected on the dock CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
R
eflecting back on the summer just passed, it is possible to conclude that there is something changeless about summer life in Canada – the lakes, the loons, the summer breezes, the sounds of the birds, the roar of the motorboats, the quiet two-lane roads, the trailers in front of you on the two-lane roads, the grilled cheese sandwich beside the highway. There’s good and bad in it, but it hasn’t changed much in decades. Sure the cottages are bigger, the toys are faster and louder and a simple lifestyle that once was common is now regarded as primitive. But can it really stay the same? The time spent at cottages and on the highway this summer makes me wonder. For this was the summer of Wi-Fi, the first of many. In the remotest parts of Northern Ontario, the smallest motels offered Wi-Fi on their signs along the highway. Wi-Fi or some other forms of connectivity were in evidence on devices brought to the cottage. Connectivity was everywhere. Getting away from it all was nowhere. Which is different, because the cottage used to be the one place that was unconnected. Sure, there might be a phone, but nobody used it much. Even the telemarketers didn’t seem to know the number. As for email, it was a distant dream, or nightmare, depending on how you viewed it. This was frustrating for some people, not so for others. The others were perfectly content to find out what was going on in
the city when they got back to the city. They could live without the latest news, the latest blogs. But for some it was frustrating to be out of touch. And you could tell, this summer, by how often they sat with their devices, the phones and iPads and laptops, looking at newly-connected screens. The fact is that for most of us connectedness is no longer an option. People expect us to be online and answer immediately. We open emails with the expectations we used to have about opening the mail. Something good might be there: the Queen wants to meet you, a previously unknown rich uncle has died and left you millions, someone wants to film your life story. Not being able to have access to this news has been a drag. Now the drag is gone and we can stay in the real world – as if life in the city is somehow more real than life beside the lake. Will Wi-Fi spoil the summer experience? Not for those rare individuals who can take it or leave it, who can spend days without looking at a screen and only check their email once a week. But it will definitely be spoiled for those who hoped to spend a few weeks free of people reading them funny items found on the Internet. On the other hand, the absence of connectedness makes some people difficult to live with. They are antsy, irritable, always charging off to the library or the nearest coffee shop to check emails, even if the nearest one is a boat ride away plus many kilometres on the highway. Now that they can check their emails on the dock they will be easier to live with. And when you have a family argument about some arcane movie trivia you can refer it to Google, thus heading off hours of debate. Maybe you can even find the instructions for the chainsaw. You take your small blessings where you can.

STOP the Destructive Mission of a Cigarette Butt
Josée Adam, Project Officer
I am a cigarette butt and my mission in life is to cause mass destruction. Yes, I am like an evil superhero, a menace to society. I pride myself for being almost indestructible - I am not biodegradable, so I never really break down and die. I am also made up of harmful chemicals, making me a threat to children, wildlife and the environment. One of my favourite pass-times is to prey on the vulnerable. Toddlers and young children are curious and innocent, so I can easily fool them. For example, the other day, a 16 month-old girl was playing
in a park sand box and noticed me on the ground. She was curious about what I might be and she picked me up and put me in her mouth expecting a surprise. A surprise she did get, but not the one she wanted. She started to choke and her parents had to take her to the hospital. On the way there, the little girl was vomiting, lethargic and gagging because the poisonous material that I am made of was making her sick. She is only one of many who fall prey to my devious nature. My intention is not only to directly
cause harm to toddlers and young children, but I also love to surf the major waterways while contaminating the water with my super-toxic chemicals like lead, arsenic and cadmium. Yes, more than 200,000 of me were collected as part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Clean in 2010. My surfing activity leads fish to believe I am bait and they swallow me. Birds pick me up and bring me to their babies as food or use me as toxic nest-building material. Aha! I again succeed at spreading destruction wherever I go. All this is to say that I am a public nuisance and cities pay a lot of money to try and get rid of me. For example, the City of Ottawa spends $5.5 million dollars every year cleaning litter – including cigarette butts like me – from roads and parks. I am planning to continue my destructive journey and I dare YOU to try and stop my negative health, environmental and financial impacts. Are you up for the challenge? ..................................................... Cigarette butt litter is an important issue that must be addressed. What can you DO to stop its destructive mission?
• Put the evil butts in their place, where they belong: the butt box or a portable ashtray. • Dispose of fully extinguished matches and partially smoked cigarettes as well as lighters and packaging in the garbage bins. DON’T: • Put butts in storm drains • Throw them out of a car window since it can start a wildfire. • Bring them to places where children and toddlers play – parks, beaches and sports fields - or to natural environments that are contaminated by their presence. The fight against their destruction doesn’t end there. The ultimate action you can take is to reduce the numbers of cigarette butts in your community. This requires you to be a superhero in your own right, and to take courageous steps to quit smoking if you are a smoker or to encourage your friends to quit smoking. If you need help butting out, please visit ottawa.ca/ quitsmoking or call the Ottawa Public Health Information Line at 613-5806744 (TTY: 613-580-9656).

Wayne Bissett, Chairman of Crime Stoppers; Bryce Conrad, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hydro Ottawa; and Mayor Jim Watson show the Crime Stoppers decals that will be on more than 100 Hydro Ottawa vehicles.
Hydro Ottawa is proud to support Crime Stoppers, a locally-run program that provides cash rewards and confidentiality to those who have anonymous information that helps the police solve crimes. “Together we are keeping our community safe by teaming up to ensure those individuals who engage in illegal activities, including stealing electricity to power illegal grow houses, are reported,” said Bryce Conrad, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hydro Ottawa. “Many grow houses tamper with electricity wiring, which can be very dangerous for the occupants of the home, the public and our employees.”
EMC news - Eddie the Yeti will storm the streets of Kanata Lakes to drum up support for the participants in All Saints Catholic High School’s annual Terry Fox Run on Sept. 28. The school mascot plans to travel ahead of the runners in a car along with several student council members who are organizing the event. The organizing committee began planning the event well before the start of classes this week. “It’s kind of like the first big event of the school year,” said Jen Ham, 17, a member of the student organizing committee. “We want to (rev) students up and Terry Fox will help us do it.” Many students’ lives have been touched by cancer in some way, said Aaron Doucet, 17, another member of the organizing committee. “It is kind of personal,” he said. “My grandmother died
of cancer.” Aaron said he considered Terry Fox one of the greatest Canadians who ever lived. The student council hopes to raise more than $20,000 from this year’s run – $7,300 more than the total raised at last year’s event. “I feel we could exceed it,” said Aaron. The All Saints student council hopes to raise most of the money through pledges online at www.terryfoxrun. org. ROUTE
The five-kilometre run will start just before lunchtime on Sept. 28 at the high school and continue along Kanata Avenue, then loop back across several residential streets and parks. The event will stagger start times, with runners going first, followed by walkers. The school will offer a barbecue lunch for the participants. A week before the event, the school will hold an as-

Bridge re-named after Kanata Lakes man, former mayor Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
EMC news - A bridge over Green’s Creek has been renamed after former Gloucester mayor Harry Allen. Allen was joined by his family, friends and former political figures from his time in Gloucester city hall on Aug. 24 for the unveiling of the commemorative plaque and sign. After moving to Beacon Hill and joining the community association, he became a Gloucester councillor and later mayor. “Those roots start in the parks, they start in the rinks,” said Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess. “Have you held a hose at 2 a.m. in -30 degree weather? He has.” The bridge is located on St. Joseph Boulevard at the Green’s Creek crossing, close to Blackburn. Allen worked on having the bridge expanded as a part of the St. Joseph Boulevard expansion, so it is a fitting spot to name in honour of the former mayor, who now lives in Kanata Lakes. “I’m proud to have a bridge in the community that will forever bear your name,” Bloess said. “Every time you drive
over it, think of what you’ve done for us.” Bloess said that Allen was instrumental in developing many of Gloucester’s recreation facilities, including the Earl Armstrong Arena. He was also focused on infrastructure, overseeing the re-alignment of the Rockcliffe Parkway and the extension of the Queensway. Bloess said that Allen showed courage as a politician because he had to make the decision to significantly raise taxes. “Harry Allen showed courage and leadership when it came to the budget,” Bloess said. Mayor Jim Watson said that Allen “unquestionably” met the criteria to have a commemorative naming made in his honour. “Harry always stuck to his convictions and the changes he made still remain,” Watson said. Allen said that he looks back fondly on the years he spent in office. “I enjoyed every moment,” he said. “Did we have challenges? Yes. We had challenges to financially do what is right. We had to take certain risks, but we had to do what is right.”

Grannies groups open hearts and homes Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
EMC news - The Metcalfe Grannies All About Kids are hoping to “turn the tide” for African grandmothers as they host a Kanata group who are cycling through the region to raise money for their African counterparts. The Grannies are a group of Metcalfe-area grandmothers who are part of the national Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign to raise money and awareness for African women raising their grandchildren orphaned by the AIDS epidemic. On Thursday, Sept. 6 the 13 local grannies will bil-
let 26 members of another Grandmothers to Grandmothers group, the Kanata Grassroot Grannies, who have traded aprons and rocking chairs for bikes and spandex for the Ride to Turn the Tide, a whopping 270-kilometre route through the Ottawa region. Travelling from Kanata to Perth where they will stay the night on Sept. 5, the 22 cyclists and four support crew will then cycle from Perth to Metcalfe where the Metcalfe Grannies will give them a place to sleep Sept. 6 before cycling home. But the billeting will offer more than just beds. Once the cycling grand-
mothers arrive in Metcalfe, local grannies will take their charges home for a shower and a quick rest. Then group leader Bev McKibbon will host everyone for a huge feast at her Metcalfe home. To prepare, she and her husband clear out their garage to make room for the
big group, and each of the Metcalfe grannies provide food for the feast. Of course, McKibbon said she’ll have “lots of help” cleaning up. Some grannies will host up to seven or eight cyclists, while others who don’t have the room, offer to drive or cook. “It’s really a group effort,”
said McKibbon, who will host as many as seven cyclists at her home. Throughout the evening, the cyclists will be treated to massages in McKibbon’s family room, provided by local massage therapist Jaclyn Spencer. The Knox Edwards United Church Choir will entertain
the group with songs about Africa, cycling and helping others. At the end of the night, McKibbon said there will be a “special event” that remains a surprise but will unite the two groups in their quest to support African grandmothers. See GRANNIES, page 15

This is the Metcalfe group’s third year hosting the Kanata Grassroot Grannies on their ride. The first year, the Kanata group reached out to granny groups across the region asking for places to sleep on their first annual ride. McKibbon and her group responded, and hosted their dinner and party at the Metcalfe Lion’s Den. The following year, the Kanata grannies called McKibbon and asked for the same favour. “They had such a good time here, that the next year they said if we considered hosting them again they would do the ride again,” McKibbon laughed. But that year, McKibbon and her husband decided to do the hosting themselves. After all, they had successfully hosted their own family reunions before, and a private home would give everyone more freedom to relax and enjoy themselves. “It’s just a warmer, friendly place to do it. We did it last year and it was such a success we decided not to fool with the formula,” she said. In payment, the Kanata grannies put aside a small amount of their fundraising to be donated in the Metcalfe group’s name. All of the money raised – this year more than $32,000 – goes to the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign, the umbrella charity that all granny groups across the country fall under. Kanata granny Shirley Mander, who is cycling the 270 kilometres, said the hospitality of other granny groups is crucial to the success of their ride. Not only do the groups provide the basic necessities of food, drink and a place to sleep, but they also share a sense of unity that keeps the cyclists going. “All along the way, we enjoy the camaraderie and support of others who share in our objectives,” Mander said in an email. “It is magic to meet like-minded people who are enthusiastic, committed and absolutely fun to be with.” She said staying with the Metcalfe grannies was a highlight last year in part because of the “most delightful setting imaginable.” “The evening was outstanding with great food, meaningful communication and ending with a fireworks display as a tribute to Jack Layton,” she added. In the spirit of the Grandmothers to Grandmothers motto – “we won’t rest until they can rest” – Mander said the Ride to Turn the Tide is a

city clerk’s office. Representatives from the Federation of Citizens’ Associations were disappointed that the advisory committee restructuring wasn’t presented in a context of a broader citizen engagement strategy, something that won’t happen until December. “This kind of sounds like a bureaucratic triumph over common sense,” said Don Stewart of the FCA. The mandates of the five new advisory committees will be: accessibility; arts, culture, heritage and recreation; community services; environmental stewardship; and French language services. They will officially meet quarterly, but each group can call additional informal meetings. While some topics like poverty and diversity will no longer have a dedicated advisory group, the function of many of the advisory committees will be absorbed in other ways. The transit commission and health board both now have citizen members who can represent residents on those topics, the city’s report states and business

The city took an axe to its citizen advisory committee structure on Aug. 30 in an effort to save money and make citizen input more streamlined. groups are to be represented by Invest Ottawa (formerly OCRI). Rural issues have a forum during the open mike sessions at agriculture and rural affairs committee meetings. The Ottawa Built Heritage Advisory Committee will evolve from a citizen group into a subcommittee of planning committee, with representation from three citizen experts and four city councillors. That was a point of contention amongst heritage advocates, who told the committee that the unbalanced representation would eliminate the group’s effectiveness. “Ottawa is proposing to become an anomaly of heritage in Ontario,” said Leslie
Maitland, president of Heritage Ottawa. The built heritage committee used to have council members on its roster, but they asked to be removed, Maitland pointed out. But planning committee chairman Peter Hume argued the change would create “advocates” for heritage issues on city council. “Right now, there are no council advocates around the table for heritage,” he said, adding that more time spent on heritage issues alongside experts would give built heritage subcommittee councillor members the ammunition and expertise they need to defend heritage issues to their council colleagues.
A more formal structure will help the city attract the kind of citizen experts it wants to see on the committee, Hume said, referencing the problems the city has had in recruiting built heritage committee candidates. Maitland took exception to that. A four-time published author with 35 years of experience in architectural heritage, she applied two years ago and never received a response. While the advisory committee structure did need an overhaul, the city missed the mark on the built heritage committee, Maitland said. “You’re trying to fix something that isn’t broken,” she said.
EMC news - A veteran expert of Parliament Hill integrity issues has arrived to oversee ethics at city hall. The city announced on Aug. 29 that River Ward resident Robert Marleau, a former clerk of the House of Commons and former federal information commissioner, has been appointed as Ottawa’s first integrity commissioner. Marleau said he was interested in the job because everything was not predetermined and he could have input on the development of things like the council code of conduct. The city’s level-headed approach to integrity issues impressed him, Marleau said. “Many other governments and public institutions do this under duress because of a crisis of sorts,” Marleau said. As a citizen of Ottawa and someone who is well-versed in ethics and integrity issues, Marleau said he felt the role was both important and a good fit for him. A graduate of the University of Ottawa, Marleau served as the interim federal privacy commissioner after 13 years as the House clerk. He was the information commissioner for Canada for more than two years before abruptly resigning in 2007. He was chosen from a pool of 18 candidates who applied for the job.
Mayor Jim Watson said Marleau is respected both locally and nationally. “His word will carry weight,” Watson said. The new integrity commissioner said he sees his role as a resource for councillors to get advice on the sensitive situations that arise from political life. “I think what councillors need is someone they can consult in confidence about issues which emerge around the vulnerabilities of public life and have the benefit of an independent, above-the-fray, non-political advisor, and conduct themselves accordingly,” Marleau said, adding, “it would be up to councillors to resolve those issues themselves.” His greatest challenge will be getting to know the politicians and senior staff at city hall, Marleau said. “I’m very familiar with the elected official, but this is a different environment,” he said. “I have a learning curve.” Marleau’s work will include developing a code of conduct for members of city council, as well as any related policies, such as an expense policy and gifts registry. He will also produce an annual report summarizing complaints, investigations and advice to the city and suggestions for improvements that could be made to the accountability policies he will oversee. But Marleau’s first job will

Robert Marleau, left, a former clerk of the House of Commons and former federal information commissioner, is introduced as the city’s first integrity commissioner by city clerk Rick O’Connor, right, on Aug. 29. be managing the new lobbyist registry that goes into effect Sept. 1. The online tool lobbyists will use to register is “excellent, simple and intuitive,” Marleau said. Now the next step will be developing materials for both city politicians and lobbyists so they know what is
expected of them. While Marleau said he takes his direction from city council, he said it would be very difficult for him to accept anything less than
complete independence. Ottawa is the latest city to jump on the integrity bandwagon, Marleau said. “I think there is a trend in government in North Ameri-
ca right now, in all levels, to be a lot more transparent,” Marleau said. Technology makes it difficult for governments to hide anything, he said, so it makes sense to be proactive. “They may as well be clear with the citizen, and they may as well inform them,” he said.

EMC news - Twenty-three people lined up to give city councillors their swan song for advisory committees on Aug. 30. After it was all over, the city’s governance renewal subcommittee and finance committee had slashed the number of official citizen advisory groups from 15 to five. The move also shifted The Ottawa Built Heritage Advisory Committee from an advisory group to a subcommittee of planning committee mostly comprised of councillors, and a seniors’ group will become an annual round table event instead. The changes are aimed at saving $190,000 annually. Glebe resident Bob Brocklebank likened the restructuring to a “mercy killing.” The city has allowed the advisory committees to wither and become irrelevant, making the act of killing them simply the final stage, Brocklebank said. “Put advisory committees out of their misery,” he said. Patrick Quealey, former
chairman of the environmental advisory committee, agreed, saying that the groups have been treated “disrespectfully and shabbily” by the city. “At a time when people are disengaging … these people want to participate. That should be valued,” Quealey added. Many of the 23 delegates who spoke to the committee on Aug. 30 agreed it was time for some changes to advisory committees. In 2011, 48 advisory committee meetings were cancelled due to lack of quorum, and most were cancelled at the last moment, which is administratively expensive for the city. Many things have changed since the city amalgamated in 2001, when the advisory committees were established. Access to technology and the availability of social media tools are changing how residents interact with the city and politicians. Other engagement strategies such as summits and departmental working groups have proven more successful as well, according to a report from the

residents living in the city. The Furniture Bank of Ottawa (FBO) operates out of a shipping building attached to the Mitel building on 340 Legget Dr., where close to 40 volunteers can be found working to provide quality donated furniture and household items to refugees and low income residents struggling to meet the bare needs that many residents in Kanata take for granted. “You wouldn’t believe how many people are in need of basic things like tables, pots, towels and mattresses,” said FBO executive director Janice Long-Mills. “We are helping furnish homes for over 50 families each month.” The FBO has made a lasting impression on many people who have fallen through the cracks of social assistance programs. “I wished this program was around when my family first moved here,” said the company’s receptionist and volunteer Paradis Khadem. “We basically had to start from scratch, it was really tough.” Khadem’s family moved to Ottawa from Iran when she was nine. She is now a student at the University of Ottawa and has chosen to spend her summer break volunteering at the Furniture Bank of Ottawa.

The Furniture Bank of Ottawa, located in Kanata’s high-tech sector, provides furniture and donated items to refugees and low-income residents. Pictured above, from left are volunteers Geoff Egginton, Colleen Corcoran, executive director Janice Long-Mills, Paradis Khadem and program director Martha Lavictoire. The organization is lucky to have volunteers like Khadem since the demand for refurbished furniture and appliances has risen since the organization was initially established closed to three years ago out of a garage owned by Marc Wyatt. The FBO quickly outgrew the garage and was fortunate that Mitel provided the organization with a much large building to operate out of. The additional space has enabled the organization to provide a full-scale operation for marginalized residents seeking furniture.
Shoppers are greeted by a receptionist and can walk through two separate rooms where they select furniture and appliances. The selected items are put aside in the shipping area where they are loaded onto a truck and delivered to the shoppers for a fee of $75 which essentially covers the cost of gas to run the truck. But the non-profit organization lacks the funding to own and operate a shipping truck. “The waiting list for delivery (of furniture) is anywhere from two to four weeks,” said FBO program director Martha
Lavictoire. “We have some great support from local businesses like Diamond Storage and Brown’s Cleaners who lend us their trucks for certain days but it would be really great if we had our own full-time truck.” A dedicated shipping truck would come in handy as the organization continues to broaden its helping hand. “We help people from all over Ottawa, from Orléans to as far as Pembroke now,” said Long-Mills. And the executive director doesn’t stop there when asked
to identify her goals for the FBO. “In five years, I’d like to open up another operation in the east end, it’s just a matter of finding a suitable building,” said Long-Mills. And that’s where local businesses can help. The FBO is a program offered by Matthew House Ottawa. For more information about the organization, you can contact them at 613-240-6680, by email at furniturebank ofottawa@gmail.com or visit their website at www.furniture bankofottawa.org.

Father took softer approach
W
e much preferred Father over Mother when it came to discipline. Father was so soft-hearted he could never come to give us a swat even if we deserved it. Mother felt a disobedient child would never amount to a hill of beans and not only did she on occasion have a heavy hand, she was quick to use it. Often Mother would say to Father, “Those children have to be dealt with. You look after it Albert.” This meant a trip to the drive shed, Father lighting his pipe, we five kids shifting from one foot to the other while awaiting our punishment. Mother was sure Father was in the shed giving us a few whacks with the strap and to make it sound like we were really being punished Father would slap the strap against his work table, Emerson would yelp like a wounded puppy and eventually we would stagger out of the drive shed pretending to be almost mortally wounded from the blows that never came. Late one summer, there was an incident. My sister Audrey blamed it on the heat. Emerson said it was because school would be going back in a couple days. Whatever the reason, there erupted on the front lawn the most glorious fight of all time.
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories It started when Emerson threw a pail of water on Earl, most of which missed him and caught Audrey square in the face, which completely ruined the curls she got by enduring her hair being tied up in rags all night. She grabbed the pail out of Emerson’s hand and was all set to swat him with it, when Everett grabbed the handle, wrenched it from her, and caught me, the innocent bystander, square on the backside. It didn’t hurt in the least, but always ready to make the most of any situation getting out of hand I started to roar as if I had been hit with a two-by-four. It didn’t take Mother long to come out of the house to see what all the uproar was about. She always let us settle our own battles, refusing to listen to anyone who was about to tattle. But this was no ordinary disagreement. Audrey was standing on the pump stand, screaming, the three brothers were rolling on the grass and I was wailing that I thought my back was broken.
Father, if he heard the ruckus, was ignoring it. Mother found him in the cow byre and she insisted he take us all into the drive shed and “deal with the whole lot of them.” Father took his pipe out of his mouth and pointed it towards the open doors, not saying a word. He put a stern look on his face and followed us all through the double doors. The heat of the day was on our side. Father had been up since dawn and even though it was early in the day, he looked wilted and tired out. He didn’t look like he was in any mood to dole out punishment. He asked Audrey what happened to her hair, he told Everett when the discipline was over he was to fill the watering trough, Emerson was to sort the newly bought nails into the tin cans on the shelf, Earl was to feed the chickens, and with a big wink in my direction, he said, “And you young lady have to come to Briscoe’s General Store with me.”
But he wasn’t finished with me yet, “You’ll have to eat the humbugs Mr. Briscoe gives you every time you go in the store.” Father knew I hated humbugs with a passion. “Or you can bring them home and give them to Queenie… that old horse sure loves humbugs.” He then gave me another big wink. Just before he let us out of the drive shed, he gave the work table another couple good whacks with the old leather strap, Emerson let out a few roars as if he had come in direct contact with it, Earl developed the usual sniffles and Audrey, who we all knew was too old to strap, said, “Yes I know not to get involved the next time with any fights.” Father told me to go and wait for him beside the buggy. He walked, filling his pipe at the same time, towards the kitchen door. “Have to run over to Briscoe’s,” he said through the screen. “Mary’s coming with me. And they’ve all been dealt with,” he added over his shoulder. Mother seemed satisfied. I once heard her tell Mrs. Beam that she “could always depend on Albert to discipline the children. Sometimes I just don’t have the energy to handle all five of them.” And for that, we five kids were mighty grateful.
New bakery hopes to double as gluten-free resource centre Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
EMC news - Walking into the new FUK Flour bakery inside the Hodge Podge Shoppe in Manotick, hungry customers can feast their eyes on freshly made fudge, cupcakes, date squares and brownies. Savoury items like mini quiches and lunch-time wraps are also available, and nutty, dense breads line the top of the counter. To taste it, you would never guess the food is all completely gluten-free. Owner and Manotick resident Darren Potvin set up shop inside the novelty store on Tighe Street in August, opening what he calls the first 100 per cent gluten free bakery in Ottawa that also doubles as a resource centre for people dealing with gluten intolerance or Celiac disease. Gluten is a protein found in most wheat, barley and rye and is used frequently as a filler in processed food. More than 330,000 people in Canada have Celiac disease, which is a severe food allergy to gluten that can cause major pain and chronic intestinal problems.
Canadians are also increasingly being diagnosed as gluten intolerant which can produce similar symptoms depending on severity. The only cure at the moment is to eat gluten-free – something the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation said can cost families up to 2.5 times more money. Limited access to gluten-free foods can also prevent families and individuals from traveling, dining out and enjoying regular social activities without added cost and inconvenience, the foundation said. The 40-year-old FUK Flour baker has suffered severe gluten intolerance since he was 18, and lived daily with painful digestive problems that doctors told him were the result of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. He had a low immune system and was constantly catching colds, and he had no energy. He lived on antacids. Without any formal diagnosis, he was 32 when he finally cracked the case: he saw a naturopathic doctor who convinced him give up gluten for a week, and he suddenly became a whole new person.

Neither cake nor cookies for breakfast
O
ne of my favourite Bill Cosby stories is one in which he tries to persuade his wife that it was okay for him to give their kids chocolate cake for breakfast. She doesn’t believe his defence of “They made me do it! They made me give them chocolate cake!” So he falls back on what he figures is a winning argument. “But cake is good for you. There’s all sorts of good stuff in it - there’s wheat and eggs and milk.” Needless to say, he doesn’t persuade her. When I saw this recipe for “Breakfast Cookies,” I immediately thought of Cosby’s story. These cookies also have a lotofofthe “good Friends Central stuff” in them: molasses,Farm Experimental eggs, milk, oatmeal, flour, bran and raisins. While I don’t recommend cookies for breakfast, these make a good after-school snack, especially when eaten

EMC news - The beleaguered Lansdowne Park redevelopment project cleared one of its last legal hurdles last week when the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed a request for appeal from the Lansdowne Park Conservancy on Aug. 28. The decision effectively shut down that legal challenge against the $300-million project and allows work to move ahead on the project. The only remaining option for the Conservancy would be a request to appeal to the Supreme Court within 60 days – a move city solicitor Rick O’Connor said would be “exceedingly difficult” in a memo to councillors. The legal challenge brought by Glebe resident John Martin’s Conservancy group was dismissed as an abuse of process by Ontario divisional court on March 23. Between that decision and the most recent rejection by the Court of Appeal, Martin and the Conservancy have been ordered to pay $11,000 to the City of Ottawa in legal costs. In a statement sent on Aug. 29, Martin wrote that it is unfortunate a competive procurement process for the Lansdowne redevelopment
perior Court. On April 30, the panel agreed that the city’s partnership with the OSEG doesn’t constitute an illegal subsidy for a private business, rejecting the Friends of Lansdowne’s legal appeal of the project. The Friends announced on June 14 that they would not take their case to the Supreme Court. City council will still need to give final authorization for Lansdowne contracts after two months have passed, once there is no longer any threat of legal action.

Upgrades to increase service will take 18 weeks Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - The O-Train will be off the rails for the entire summer of 2013. The temporary 18-week shutdown is part of a $59-mil-
lion project to add two passing tracks and six new trains to increase service frequency on the busy north-south rail line. When the upgrades are complete and service resumes on Sept. 3, 2013, O-Train service will have increased to every eight minutes from 15 minutes. The increase in service will help reduce transit congestion when the city’s east-west Light Rail Transit (LRT) line is under construction beginning next year.
OC Transpo will offer a replacement bus service while the O-Train is shut down from April 27 to Sept. 2, 2013; however, the city has not decided how frequently shuttles would run. The bus service will be included in the 2013 budget to be debated this fall and OC Transpo passengers will be informed of the changes when the temporary shutdown draws closer, said transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans.
begin in 2001, the O-Train has now reached capacity on some trips. At first only about 5,100 to 6,400 people were taking the train each day, but ridership has soared to 12,000 trips daily. People
have taken more than 16 million trips on the train since it launched. Adding six trains and two passing tracks is expected to give the O-Train line another 20 years of life. R0011243339
No O-Train in summer 2013
The downtime will coincide with the lighter summer term for Carleton University – the most significant destination on the O-Train line. The work also aligns with other planned O-Train-related construction: upgrades to the Rideau River bridge, the Carleton University pedestrian pathway and Sawmill Creek Bridges, the Dow’s Lake tunnel and Highway 417 overpass retaining walls. The information was revealed in a memo to city councillors this week in advance of a request for proposal for the construction work. An “experiment” that

REAL ESTATE Some renovations could increase property taxes
Your Community Newspaper
most often affect taxes include major renovations, there are lesser known repairs that can catch even savvy homeowners by surprise. Here is a look at some of the renovations that could raise your property taxes. * Adding a room: Converting the garage into a bedroom or adding on a new bathroom will increase your home’s value and the property tax you’ll pay on the home. Although tax assessors don’t usually make surprise trips to your home to check for reno-
vations indoors, they may peruse permits filed at the clerk’s office and then investigate. Permits are the primary way assessors learn about improvements, so much so that some homeowners look to circumvent permits when making renovations. But that can cause a number of problems down the line if and when you decide to sell. * Pools and outdoor structures: Changes to a home’s exterior are some of the easiest to see and document. Permanent changes outdoors, such as the

installation of a shed with a concrete floor, a deck or a pool can definitely increase property taxes. * Landscaping: Hiring a professional to do your lawn and plants can result in higher taxes. It’s called “alteration of land improvement.” Repaving a driveway or adding a new cement walkway may also increase your home’s value and, subsequently, your property tax bill. * Fireplaces: The installation of a fireplace can also increase a home’s value, leading to a higher

If you live in New York’s Nassau County, you are possibly paying some of the highest property taxes in the country. Nassau County residents had an average property tax bill of nearly $8,500 in 2011. Understanding property taxes is not very cut and dry. They are supposed to rise and fall with home values, but this isn’t always the case. There is roughly 80,000 pages of federal code on property taxes, and each state and town often has its own rules governing how property taxes are assessed. State and local budget cuts can raise taxes even if your home value remains the same, as will an increase of benefits for public employees. Property tax is typically the primary means that many jurisdictions raise revenue. So if your community needs money, you can probably count on it financing that need through higher property taxes. The two things that determine property taxes are the assessed value of your home and the property tax rate for where you live. In many cases, making improvements to the inside and outside of your home can result in higher taxes on your property. Many homeowners do not think about the tax man when they are about to renovate their home. But it is important to consider that home repairs -- even planting a garden -- could lead to higher property taxes. Although the vast majority of repairs that

Make your relocation a smooth one In an effort to leave the unemployment line behind them, many men and women have decided they would relocate for jobs if the opportunities presented themselves. According to the Atlas Van Lines 2012 Corporate Relocation Survey, 52 percent of all relocations in 2011 were new hires. That’s not only reflective of people’s willingness to move for new opportunities, but also companies’ willingness to help new hires make smooth transitions. Whereas many companies were forced to reduce or eliminate their reloca-
tion budgets during the depths of the recession, more and more of them now have more money to help candidates relocate. Finding a company that’s willing to incur some, if not all, of an employee’s relocation costs is certainly one way to make the process go smoothly. But even those who can’t find such a willing employer don’t have to rule out relocation. The following are a few ways to make relocating for your career as successful as possible.
* Don’t be afraid to negotiate. The Atlas relocation survey noted that 87 percent of the firms surveyed had a formal relocation policy. These policies can run the gamut from very accommodating to extremely limited. But many policies leave room for exceptions, so men and women should not be afraid to negotiate. The company may offer additional benefits to entice you to relocate, but the applicant has to ask about those benefits. * Do your homework. Com-

* Don’t overlook temporary housing. Many firms provide temporary housing for new hires or existing employees who relocate. This option should not be overlooked. Firms expect quick answers when asking an existing employee or a new hire to relocate. In fact, the Atlas survey found that 72 percent of firms give an employee two weeks or less to accept an offer to relocate. So you likely won’t have enough time to find your next place to call home. In such instances, consider temporary housing, ideally offered by the company. If the company does not provide temporary housing, then stay with a friend or family member or contact realtors and explain your situation. A real estate agent should be able to help you find temporary housing and can then help you once the relocation is complete and you’re ready to find a permanent residence.

panies often expect quick responses when they offer out-oftowners a position. Applicants likely won’t have enough time between receiving the offer and meeting their deadline to accept or deny the position to do all of the research that needs to be done. Before applying for positions within a given city, learn about the city, including the cost of housing, the reputation of the city’s school districts, and anything else that will ultimately have an impact on your decision to move or stay put. If possible, visit the city before beginning your job hunt. If you find the city fits your lifestyle, then begin your pursuit of a career.
R0011601362 R0011599708
* Know the repayment provisions. While many people consider their decision to relocate a success, others find their new job and city are falling short of expectations. That can be a sticky situation if your new company helped pay for your relocation. Before accepting the job offer and relocating, ask to read the relocation policy and make note of its repayment provisions. Some firms that help relocate new hires or existing employees have the right to ask for those costs back if the employee leaves the company within a given time frame. Know these provisions before you decide to relocate.

REAL ESTATE Make the most of small bathrooms keep fixtures smaller. Filling the walls with knickknacks may contribute to clutter and make the space appear closed in. Use decorative items sparingly. * If possible, store towels in a closet outside of the bathroom. This way you won’t have to devote space inside the bathroom to a closet, leaving more room for other things. * While some people like the thought of a separate bath and shower, in smaller bathrooms this may not be
possible. Instead, look for a combined shower and bath, or select a walk-in shower with a much smaller profile. * Windows are often welcome in bathrooms because of the ventilation they provide, but they could be a hindrance in smaller bathrooms because they take up prime wall space. Cover a window in a shower stall to free up space. Just be sure to install a venting fan to reduce moisture in the bathroom. * Maximize wall space if you need
storage. Find cabinets that will fit beneath windows or be able to fit in thin areas between sinks and toilets. Over the toilet is prime area for cabinetry. * Consider a frameless shower. This is a partitioned area of the bathroom that’s set aside for the shower
and is typically only cordoned off by a thin wall or piece of glass. Or a shower with no walls at all is the ultimate in space-saving. The entire bathroom floor is decked out in tile, and a portion is sloped toward a shower drain.
* Think about installing a skylight if you prefer natural light, but there is no room for a traditional window. Thinking creatively can help turn a cramped bathroom into a spacesaving and well-designed room homeowners desire.

Renovating bathrooms is commonly at the top of home improvement to-do lists. Though some rooms around the house may remain timeless, bathrooms, like kitchens, show their age (and era) much more easily, which could be why homeowners are always on the lookout for new ideas. Although many people may dream about creating a spa-type oasis in their homes, not everyone is lucky enough to have a large bathroom, much less a large budget for a full-scale renovation. Small bathrooms are common, particularly in older homes, but they needn’t force homeowners to compromise on style when renovating. Small bathrooms may be a halfbath on a main home level or even a full bath, depending on the home. By thinking creatively, homeowners can maximize their spaces and redo bathrooms in ways that bring out their best assets. * When space is at a premium, it’s best to look for fixtures and items that fit with the scale of the bathroom. Although you may want a large vanity and cabinet in which to hide all of your toiletries, this simply may not be practical -- taking up most of the bathroom real estate. Instead, look for elegant pedestal sinks that have a much smaller profile. They’ll also help you control the clutter in the bathroom because there won’t be anywhere to hide it. * Use optical illusions to make the bathroom appear more roomy. For example, lay tile diagonally to create the impression of space. A large mirror will reflect the room back and make it appear much larger than it really is. * Select lighter hues in paint colors and accessories. Dark paints and fixtures could make the room feel cramped. Dark colors are generally used to make spaces feel more cozy. In a small bathroom, it may make the space feel claustrophobic. Instead, think light and bright and the room will instantly feel more airy. * Minimize wall hangings and

Councillor urges residents to have fuse panels inspected after small fire Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
EMC news - Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley is urging residents to have old fuse panels properly inspected after a small fire at his Glen Cairn home last month. The home is older and still uses an old fuse system instead of breakers, Hubley said. Over time, the wires became loose, which started the fire. “I had a carbon monoxide detector next to where the panel was but it didn’t go off or anything because the power went off,” he said. The fire detector also wasn’t activated because there wasn’t enough smoke to set it off, Hubley added. Instead, the councillor was alerted to the fire because a ceiling fan stopped rotating. “The power went down so I started checking and I noticed the smell,” said Hubley. The PVC in the wires burns, causing a noticeable smell and possible health hazards such as illness, nausea and headache. Hubley said it’s a good idea to choose smoke and carbon
monoxide detectors that use batteries as back-up power in the event a fire takes out a home’s power system. “Make sure that you’re not just relying on electrical ones,” he said.
The electrical demand of our modern lives is greater than in past decades. KARA FRASER ELECTRICAL SAFETY AUTHORITY
Hubley said his family were fortunate because the fire was contained to the fuse box and didn’t have a chance to spread before the fire department showed up. “A crew came over from the Eagleson fire station. They were here really, really fast,” said Hubley. “The old panels are made of much stronger steel than what’s used today so it was
able to contain the fire instead of letting it spread into the walls.” Fire department spokesperson Marc Messier said if the fire department finds electrical inefficiencies when conducting a home inspection, they suggest people have an electrician complete an inspection. “(For) anybody who buys an older home … with an older panel, (hiring) an electrician to do an inspection is not a bad idea,” said Messier. Kara Fraser, spokesperson for the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA), said residents should consider having an inspection completed if they notice flickering lights, regular tripping of circuits or blown fuses, which can be signs of problems with the electrical system. “The electrical demand of our modern lives is greater than in past decades,” said Fraser in an email. “Homeowners should ensure that fuses in their panel are not rated higher than the ampacity of the branch circuit. Most residential lighting and receptacle circuits should
not be higher than 15 amps.” She added if homeowners are looking at renovations to their houses, such as up-dating or installing new electrical systems, a permit is required from the ESA, and depending on the specifics, an inspection may be required. “If no work is being done then there is no required frequency for inspection of a panel or the electrical system as whole. However, we can provide some guidance about when a general electrical inspection is a good idea,” said Fraser. “In particular, if a change of ownership has occurred the new owner will want to know of any electrical issues requiring repair or up-dating, or if the electrical has not been upgraded for many years, such as prior to 1975.” Hubley said he thinks inspections are a smart idea. “A lot of the homes in Kanata south, the older homes especially, are still on the old fuse system,” said Hubley. “It’s always good advice for residents with old panels to get somebody to inspect them.”

Canoe club wins silver at national championship EMC sports - The Ottawa River Canoe Club finished a record-breaking season last month, winning silver medals in two events at the 2012 Canoe Kayak Nationals held in Dartmouth, N.S. from Aug. 22-26. Victor Turcanu placed second in the midget boys K-1 6,000-metre race, while Chris Tabri, David Burbidge, Jared Schmidt and Turcanu won silver in a midget boys’ race. “The club has never performed like this before and we are ecstatic for the kids,” said L.A. Schmidt, co-owner the canoe club (ORCC). “We worked on improving everything they did and their race plan and they couldn’t have been even better. It was pretty amazing.” Since it first opened 11 years ago on the shores of the Ottawa River next to the Bonnenfant Y Outdoor Education and Leadership Centre in
Dunrobin, the club has grown from a small group of 40 paddlers to 140 athletes who regularly contend for medals at competitions. “We brought 12 athletes to (the) nationals while most

ORCC’s peewee girls’ team won the overall burgee
medal-winning team. “I just tried to focus on our race plan so when we crossed the finish line it was a big surprise.

Kanata Knights Football Club
The Kanata Knights Football Club (tykes, mosquito, peewee) went 2-1 during last week’s set of games against the West Carleton Wolverines at Beckwith field in Carleton Place. The midget Knights had a bye last week. The tyke Knights earned their first shutout of the season last weekend, defeating the Warriors 40-0 on Sept. 2. West Carleton tried to generate some points but couldn’t get past the Knights’ defence led by Denny Ferdinand who had five solo tackles. The offence was a scoring machine, with Stephan duPlooy, Devaughn Blackwood and Nicholas Allarie each scoring two touchdowns. Kanata scored four conversions with the assistance from Aaron Chase and Rylan Burwell. There was superb blocking by the offensive line, to achieve this goal. MOSQUITO
The mosquito Knights fought hard during a game at Beckwith field on Sept. 2, but the Wolverines came away with a 51-7 victory. The Knights’ David Wardowski rushed for 108 yards and scored the team’s only touchdown.
Connor Ogilvie ran for 75 yards on eight carries and earned three first downs. Britton Quirk also had a very busy foot, kicking and punting several 25 to 30 yard kicks, and recording a nice point-after kick to help out the team. Defensively, the team worked well together recording a season high eight team tackles. Jarod Wakeman returned to his linebacker position and had a great game with five tackles including three solo tackles. Other notable efforts came from Fiore Clark who had a great blocked kick and recorded four tackles, and Shabach Kerr who recovered a fumble and posted four tackles. The Knights will next kick off their home season at Bob Barr field at the Kanata Recreation Complex on Sept. 8 against the Bel-Air Lions. PEEWEE
The peewee Knights produced an impressive performance on Sept. 2 with a 40-8
victory over the Wolverines. The Knights’ scoring was led by Ashton Vanasse who had three touchdowns, followed by Brady Tran who brought in two and Jacob Cuffley who added another. Supporting each drive and contributing their own efforts to the gains were Garrett Kirk, Dylan Marshall, Trey Russell-Johnson, Patrick Heika, Patrick Massia, Tyler Rehman, Luke Morrison and Brett Campbell. No game is won by the offence alone and the Knights’ defence proved they were up to the challenge, pushing the Wolverines back again and again to maintain Kanata’s momentum on the field. Christopher Fitzpatrick, Michael Kraeker, Alex Polataiko, Jordan Porter, Dylan Lachance, Alex Whibey, Dylan Walker, Gavin Goyette, Scott Robinson and Duncan McDonald showed true grit and enthusiasm and got the job done. The Knights clubs head into a heavy week of football
beginning Saturday, Sept. 8, at Bob Barr Field against the Bel-Air Lions. For more information, check out the Knights’ website at www. kanataknightsfootball.com.

West end gymnastics club finds the rythym Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
EMC sports - Now that summer camp has ended for the Pirouette Rhythmic Gymnastics club, gymnasts and their coaches are looking forward to the regular season. The club, started by former competitive gymnast Eva Sokol in the 90s, has recreational programs starting at six or seven years of age to all levels of competitions. The summer camp, held at Pierre Elliot Trudeau French Catholic elementary school, had gymnasts from aged five and up. The styles and skill levels vary from the beginner to the advanced. Eva Sokol has been involved in gymnastics for nearly 30 years, both with competing herself and teaching others the skills of the trade. She said she started with the idea of Pirouette at her kitchen table after the national gymnastic association she worked for had lost their funding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was OK with it. I wanted to get back into the sport,â&#x20AC;? she said. At first Sokol would host workshops and lessons throughout Nepean and parts of Barrhaven. Then in 2001, the group found a permanent home in the French Catholic school on Longfields Drive. They also do some classes over at St. Joseph Catholic

A Trillium grant last year helped to pay for a special gymnast mat, which prevents rug burn, as the students roll around working on routines. Sokol said the mats can cost anywhere from $12,000 to $15,000. And the girls work hard.
At summer camp more than one student had holes in her toes shoes caused by rolling around on the mat doing routines. The sport entails individuals or teams of two or more manipulating one or two items: clubs, hoop, ball or ribbon. Athletes can also work without apparatuses. Sokol said choreography is
a big component to the routines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always work with music,â&#x20AC;? she said. The students enrolled in competitive programs with Pirouette always work within a team as well as individually.

Author shares tricks of self publishing trade EMC news - Kanata author Pat Cher will host a workshop next month to discuss her experience self-publishing her novel, Mi’kmaq Song. The workshop, to be held at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Oct. 10 from 1 to 3:30 p.m., will outline the steps writers need to take to become a self-published author. Cher will be sharing her experience working with the modern publishing houses of the Internet while giving insight into some of the tricks of the trade. “It is a great experience that I wish to share with people,” said Cher. “You make your own deadlines and you decide what (price) your book will sell at while being only responsible to your readers. You make all of your own choices.” A teacher for over 34 years, Cher said she had to retire before discovering her true passion in life – writing. Inspired to stay away from publishing houses, Cher said she turned to the Internet and discovered Amazon.com’s online service Create Space, which gives authors the tools and support to help create and market a novel. The site offered Cher an involved route to produce her novel Mi’kmaq Song, a story that combines Canadian his-
tory with the fictional adventure of two young Canadians from modern and ancient eras. The book currently sits on three top-100 lists on Amazon.com. “As an indie author, you have to do your own editing and proofreading; you have to arrange for your own distribution and you have to do your own marketing,” said Cher. “Most websites help but they do not do it for you. Create Space lends you the option of buying services or creating one on your own for free.
I will let people know in the workshop the top four sites they can use but I think Amazon is the best known and easiest for newcomers.” Cher said you can “even make quite a bit more” when you are responsible for your own pricing. “An example is that Amazon suggests you place your book at a minimum $8.99 for 184 pages,” said Cher. “From that, the author makes approximately $2.34. That is more than traditional publishers where you could
make as little as $1 an issue.” The real work of self-publishing a novel starts after it’s online and available for sale, said Cher. With the majority of sales coming from the marketing done after publication – through social media websites, blogging, and giveaways – Cher said the most important thing is for the author to get his or her name out in the community. People interested in attending the workshop can contact the Stittsville Public Library.

By participating three weeks on the basic drill and ceremonial course, which began on July 1 in Saguenay, Que., he learned the qualities of being a team player, while developing his leadership, and drill knowl-
edge capabilities. In addition he improved his sense of responsibility. Zakary, 14 years old, has participated in the Canadian Cadet Program for the past two years.

EMC news - Ontario’s auditor general will review plans to scrap the Slots at Racetracks program and built urban casinos after NepeanCarleton MPP Lisa MacLeod successfully carried a motion through the assembly on Aug. 30. Members from all three political parties supported MacLeod’s private member’s motion asking for a review of Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s new gaming and casino plans that would pull slots out of racetracks and build private casinos closer to urban centres. The plan would save $345 million, which McGuinty’s Liberals say can be better spent on health care and education. The Progressive Conservative MPP asked the auditor general to assess the armsreach organization’s revenue and expenditure projections for the plans, as well as the mental health and addictions impact and the potential effect on Ontario’s horse racing industry. MacLeod said cancelling the Slots at Racetracks program would chop 60,000 rural jobs, including up to 1,000 in Ottawa if the Rideau Carleton Raceway in her riding is to close. “The OLG needs to be accountable for those job losses, especially in this economy,” said MacLeod in a statement. “From a rural aspect, it is clear that there will be catastrophic consequences with the cancellation of the Slots at Racetracks program - costing jobs and devastating some agri businesses.” MacLeod also asked the legislature to confirm a municipal referendum will take place before any new casinos are built. She said she has reservations about the impact casino gaming would have on urban centres. “An auditor’s report would be helpful in determining if cannibalizing the Rideau Carleton Raceway with a down-
“You cannot stand here on one day to argue that we should get rid of full-day kindergarten, that we should disadvantage our four- and five-year-old kids coming from both rural and urban communities to save money so that we lay off thousands of teachers and support workers and early childhood educators, but on the other hand, we should continue to spend $345 million in the horse racing industry,” Naqvi told the assembly. “If you look at what $345 million could pay for, it could pay for over two million house calls from doctors in our communities, both

rural and urban. It can pay for over 27,800 hip or knee replacement surgeries, Speaker. It can pay for 17,400 bariatric surgeries and follow-up. It can pay for over nine million hours of home care for our seniors.” Along with her motion, MacLeod presented a petition from 10,000 employees and business people affected by the OLG’s plans. RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski presented another petition representing 1,330 people, and Hamilton East-Stoney Creek MPP Paul Miller, Newmarket-Aurora MPP Frank Klees and Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith all presented similar petitions on the issue.

EMC news - Terry Lavergne will get back 10 days a year thanks to the new satellite dialysis centre at the Queensway Carleton Hospital on Aug. 30. Lavergne, who lives in Woodlawn, has travelled to the General Hospital to receive treatments for more than 20 years. Treatments for patients in need of dialysis are performed three times a week for three to five hours. “When you need dialysis your life changes,” Lavergne said. “You have to work your job, your family life around the treatments.” Coming to the QCH will save him more than an hour of travel time per treatment, and up to four hours per week. “It might not seem like much but it’s time I can spend with my family,” Lavergne said. The first patients were scheduled to visit the new satellite dialysis centre on Sept. 4. “It’s all about the patients,” Tom Schonberg, president and CEO of the QCH said. “When we hear from them it really hits home the importance of what we do.” The hospital’s new fourstory tower on the west

Beach said the hospital staff saved his live. He was at a cottage in Quebec when he fell ill. “I got myself to the first hospital I could find on the Ontario side and went,” he said, adding the staff sent him home after being unable to determine the cause of his illness. “They said to go home and go to the hospital if I got any worse. There wasn’t much chance of getting worse because I was as sick as I could be,” he said. Back at his home in Nepean, Beach said he was laid up in bed when he asked his wife to get the neighbour – a doctor at the QCH – to have a look at him. The doctor immediately saw he needed to be in the hospital and called ahead to have the surgeon wait.

Within minutes Beach was on the table having surgery to deal with a nasty stomach infection. He recovered in the hospital for nearly a month. Five years later when his father needed palliative care, Beach brought him to the hospital that had saved his life. “He truly received the best care possible,” Beach said. “You can really see that patients are the priority.” The satellite dialysis centre features televisions and pristine hallways with lots of light, along with grey-cushioned chairs that have adjustment buttons to improve kidney patients’ comfort. “You feel like you’re about to take off in a rocket,” said Dr. Peter Magner, medical director of dialysis at the Ottawa Hospital.

Families taken in by local Montessori schools
SERVING KANATA NORTH
Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
EMC news - Eight families who had prepaid tuition at the Canadian Montessori Academy will be taken in by other Montessori Schools in Ottawa at no charge. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli had been in touch with a number of local schools to take in students who were displaced when the embattled private school was put into receivership and subsequently closed by BDO Canada Ltd. “The city had to recover the back taxes,” Chiarelli said. “But that unfairly hurts people who had prepaid their tuition.” Half the children placed were elementary school aged, Chiarelli said and another half would have been in the toddler or preschool age groups. The schools who have taken in the students won’t charge them tuition for the upcoming year, unless they receive money from the sale of the CMA school building on Fieldrow Street. The Canadian Montessori Academy was closed in July after the Business Development Bank of Canada applied to have the business and school put into receivership due to debts that amount to almost $1.9 million.

Eight families who prepaid for the 2012-13 school year at the Canadian Montessori Academy were taken in by other local Montessori schools. John Haralovich, with BDO, told parents on July 24 that they were unsecured creditors and would have to wait until the bank, the Canada Revenue Agency and the city were paid off before receiving any refunds on tuition paid. Phillip Montessori, whose grandmother Maria invented the teaching philosophy used in schools worldwide, said while it was generous of the schools to offer placements, education should be provided based on the family’s ability to pay. “People have forgotten that
Maria originally taught in the slums of Rome,” he said, adding the desire to educate sometimes takes a back seat to financial gain. When asked what should be done to prevent a similar situation from happening again, Phillip said parents need to do their homework. “When looking for a Montessori School make sure that the school and the teachers are certified, and check out their information before enrolling your child,” he said. Jackie Properzi, whose young
son was expelled from CMA in May after she began to question safety issues and the financial well-being of the school, said she didn’t take advantage of the opportunity to be placed. “I think it’s great what the schools are doing, but the whole experience has made me a little gun shy and my son is happy where he is,” she said. Though Chiarelli declined to name the school who took the students, he did say every parent left with daycare in the wake of the school closure was offered a spot in a new school.
Support your community and have a good time this Sunday, Sept. 9th by taking part in a fun race to support our new recreation complex. Kanata Race Day is organized by volunteers to have fun, raise awareness about, and raise funds for, our new centre. This is not primarily a competitive race but a family event. The 5K race starts at 9 am (please arrive by 8:45 am) and the 1K at 10 am (arrive by 9:45 am). The route goes through Trillium Woods so runners can enjoy the natural environment area that is so special to Kanata residents. The 1K is great for small children and for parents pushing strollers. Register in advance at www.kanataraceday.com or arrive early to register on site. Remember to download the sponsorship sheet and get friends and family to sponsor you to help us raise the funds needed to enhance the pool, skateboard park, youth room and soccer field of the new recreation complex. The race starts near the Kanata Legion on Hines Road. Due to road closures, turn west from March Road onto Solandt which curves to the north and becomes Hines Road. To volunteer, go to the volunteer section of the website. MORE REVISIONS TO 2 THE PARKWAY The landowner has submitted a third revision to his submission on 2 The Parkway. This revision includes 10 townhouses and a 10-storey apartment building with a smaller footprint. The apartment building is set back further from the Parkway. I have discussed with the KBCA about having a public meeting on this revision and they would like one to be arranged. Check my website for details on the meeting and a link to the information on the new proposal.

Between 2007 and 2011, following too close was the cause of 24,500 traffic collisions, 6,900 injuries and eight

The penalties for a driver passing a stopped school bus with its upper red lights flashing include fines ranging from $400 to $2,000 and six demerit points for a first offence. A second offence yields the driver a fine between $1,000 and $4,000, six demerit points and
a possible jail sentence of up to six months. Penalties may not be limited to the driver. The vehicle owner may also be charged for school bus traffic control violations, with fines ranging from $400 to $2,000.

Mayor’s Report
MacDonald begins reign as Algonquin president Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
EMC news - Algonquin College’s job is to transform a student’s hopes and dreams into career success, newly minted president Kent MacDonald said to a sold-out crowd at the college’s annual president’s breakfast on Aug. 23. MacDonald’s first pledge was to continue making the college a global leader for integrating digital technology in the classroom. He also committed the college to enhancing the learning experience for students by leading the way in bringing technology and teaching together. “There is no college in this province that is more progressive and forward-thinking in the use of technology and how it’s changing the way our students learn,” he said And while students are learning through flexible and online courses to fit their schedules and discipline, MacDonald stressed the importance of the college being part of the larger community. He said the college should continue to work towards a hands-on, practical component in all of the courses offered. “It provides a learning experience to the student and a service to the community,” he said. The connection to the community makes it an important institution in the city, MacDon-
Budget 2013: Have Your SaY Jennifer McIntosh/ Metroland
Algonquin College president Kent MacDonald stops to talk to one of the faculty that attended the sold-out president’s breakfast at the college on Aug. 23. ald said. “At this moment, I believe it’s this institution that is the most important public organization in this city in terms of reaching a certain amount of targets and opportunities for people,” he said. MacDonald, previously the college’s vice-president of academics, talked about his roots in New Glasgow, N.S. and said the commitment to education will improve the town. “There has been no time in history when education has been more important,” he said. MacDonald said he would be looking to the provincial gov-
ernment to fix the credit transfer system to make it easier for students to move from college to university and vice versa. “The fact that we are, in this province, having students redo work and courses that are underwritten by the public purse simply isn’t right,” he said. After the speech, the curious got a sneak peek inside Algonquin’s new, $52-million student commons building. The building is expected to be opened for the upcoming school year. Anchored by a 700-seat auditorium, it will house a wide variety of student supports, including counselling and em-
ployment services, the Centre for Students with Disabilities, the ¬Mamidosewin Aboriginal Student Centre and offices for the students’ association, and will also feature a food court, computer store and lots of space in a soaring atrium for students to meet and study. David Corson, president of the college’s student association, said the new building was an example of the college administration and students working together. “Working together allows us to understand and respond to student demands,” Corson said.
PUBLIC VEHICLE/EQUIPMENT AUCTION
By Jim Watson
http://www.JimWatsonOttawa.ca
In our first two years, City Council delivered on our commitment to keeping tax increases below 2.5 per cent, and in the upcoming 2013 budget we will do the same. This allows us to continue to invest in our communities, our infrastructure, our transit system and our families in a fiscally responsible manner. Budget 2013 will be tabled on October 24, which means that between now and then I am looking for your input. I am going to be speaking with families and businesses, and consulting with Councillors and staff, on how we can continue to keep taxes under control while protecting the services residents expect. This is a collaborative effort and I value the constructive input I receive each year during the budget consultation process.

Last year, I heard consistently from residents that our roads, sidewalks and other infrastructure were not up to par. From this feedback came the creation of the Ottawa on the Move program. We took bold action with a $340-million investment over three years to improve our transportation network for drivers, transit users, cyclists and pedestrians. You can relay your budget ideas by e-mail to budget2013@ottawa.ca and on Twitter using the hashtag #ottbudget. There will also be in-person budget consultations held across Ottawa in late October, which I encourage you to attend. It is important that residents are engaged in this process and I will be doing all that I can to ensure that your voices are heard. It is also important that we receive specific suggestions on how to save money. We delivered on our tax commitment in 2011 and 2012 and I look forward to doing it again in 2013 with the help and insight from residents. R0011589426-0906

EMC news - Pull out some cowboy boots, put on a Stetson and get down to the Ottawa Baseball Stadium where a benefit concert featuring six Canadian country music acts is set to take the stage on Sept. 16. The Ottawa Stadium Group announced the concert on Aug. 28, which will raise money to help drought-stricken Ottawa-area farmers. Among the performers at the day-long concert will be local country crooner Gail Gavin. Hailing from the Ottawa valley area, Gavin’s close friends and neighbours are farmers and she said she jumped at the chance to take part. “The foundation of the Ottawa valley is the farmers, what would we do without them?” Gavin said. “My heart goes out to them and I had to help.” Famous for her tunes about the valley, the singer promised her show would include the Farmer’s Song and singa-longs for the audience. “It is going to be fun, toetapping and a real celebration of what the Ottawa valley is,” Gavin said.
The Ottawa Stadium Group has partnered with DNA Presents, which recently ran the Escapade Music Festival at the stadium, to help organize the day. Profits of the concert will benefit farmers purchasing seed for the 2013 crop. “With so many of our local farmers struggling, hosting a country benefit concert was a natural fit,” said Don Foley, chairman of the Ottawa Stadium Group “Ottawa Stadium Group is truly thrilled to be able to help Ottawa’s farmers, while enjoying some of Canada’s best country musicians. This benefit concert will satisfy the Ottawa Valley’s love for country and help local farmers – it’s truly a winwin situation.” Gavin said she hopes this concert is only the beginning of help for the farmers. She even applauds the urban location. “We have them (benefits) in the valley, but this is a way for the city folk to come and help out,” Gavin said. “The cause is worthy and it affects all of us, you don’t have to live on a farm to be affected. It has such a domino effect. Farmers are the salt of the Earth. They are where it

minted drivers’ licenses. Most teenagers are anxious to get behind the wheel because having a license and access to a car means freedom they may not have had before. However, parents and guardians may be worried about these teens on the road because they lack the practice and experience of more advanced drivers. Continuing to educate young drivers about safety can help reduce the risk of accident. Traffic accidents are the leading

talk on a cell phone while driving, almost half say their parents speed and almost one-third say their parents don’t wear a safety belt. Parents should be mindful of their own behaviors when driving and the impression those behaviors are making on youngsters. * Establish rules. Distracted driving is claiming more and more lives each year. Many accidents are as the result of texting while driving. According to Distraction.org, in 2010, 3,092 people were killed in crashes involving a distracted driver and an estimated additional 416,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver. Text messaging creates a crash risk 23 times worse than driving while not distracted. Also, research has found that sending or receiving a text takes a driver’s eyes from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds, the equivalent -- at 55 mph -- of driving the length of an entire football field blind. Parents can implement rules, such as that cell phones are not allowed to be on while in the car or the phone should be stored in the back seat or trunk while a teen is driving. Parents also may want to set rules that multiple passengers (friends) are not allowed to ride in the car until the teen is more accustomed to driving. Driving is an activity that offers freedom and mobility. It is also one that places a very large and potentially destructive piece of machinery into the hands of a driver. Education should be ongoing as teens learn to drive.

or full of traffic. Parents may want to establish rules that the teen is not able to drive solo until he or she passes the requirements set forth by Mom or Dad. Parents can routinely ride around with their teen children to gauge how progress is coming along. * Get the facts. Talk to teens about road risks and how to stay safe. Research the laws and statistics pertaining to teenage drivers and share that information. It may not always be well received, but there’s a good chance that some of the message will get through. * Set a good example. According to a 2007 study from Students Against Destructive Decisions, the biggest influence on how teens drive is their parents. Almost two-thirds of high school teens say their parents

cause of death for teenagers in the United States. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that vehicular accidents account for 35 percent of all fatalities among people 15 to 20 years old. What puts teens particularly at risk is the tendency of many young drivers to engage in reckless behavior and/or distracted driving. It is often up to parents to reinforce the rules of the road and also consistently work with their children so that the teens can become better drivers. * Practice safer driving. As with any activity, practice helps hone skills and teaches people through their own mistakes. Driving is no exception. Mistakes on the road can be serious; therefore, it is best for teen drivers to practice driving in areas that are not heavily populated

Attention! BACK-to-SCHOOL Fall Registration register now for dance classes OL Fall Registration Buy school supplies in bulk and save The back-to-school season is fast approaching. This is a time of school bus traffic on the roads, anxious parents snapping first-dayof-school photos, and children will meeting their new classmates and forging new friendships. This time of the year is also one when parents and students must shop for school supplies. Tradition dictates that families will flock to stores after dismissal and shop for folders, binders, pens and protractors. Caught up in the moment, many shoppers choose convenience over low prices on school supplies. Parents could end up at the check-out line with a considerable bill to pay, particularly if they are shopping for multiple students. Buying items in bulk -- and sharing the cost -- may be a more affordable option. Although it can be easy to procrastinate and wait until school starts to buy supplies, it might be prudent to shop before the new school year begins. Many teachers, in an attempt to help parents save money, publish school-supply lists online in advance of the school year. Most teachers do not vary their requirements from year to year, so if your son or daughter has been assigned a teacher, ask around among last year’s students to see what that teacher requires. This way you can head to the store or comparison shop online at your convenience.
Some supplies are standard regardless of class assignment. These include pens and/or pencils, folders, spiral notebooks, copy paper, looseleaf paper, erasers, crayons, markers, and highlighters. Purchased individually, the per-unit cost of each item may be higher than purchasing these items in bulk. This is when the advantage of buying in bulk shines through. Here are some helpful hints for parents about to shop for school supplies. * Shop for frequently used items in bulk, whether from online wholesalers or through a warehouse store for which you are a member. * Collaborate with a few different school parents to chip in for school supplies. Then one parent does the shopping and splits the supplies with the others. * Keep a stockpile of supplies at home. They do not expire, and next year you may not have to shop at all. * Having extra supplies on hand enables duplicate sets for at home and in school for consistency. * Some parents like to buy many supplies and then donate some for underprivileged children. This time of year manufacturers or
retailers could actually donate a portion of school-supply proceeds to some educational organizations. * Buying larger quantities of supplies could enable you to build up rewards points at certain retailers. This may entitle you to future coupons or dollar awards that can be put toward more expensive items, including tablets or graphing calculators. * Contact the teacher and see if you can volunteer to buy all of the supplies in bulk for the entire class, with each student then paying the required amount. This will save many families time and effort. * If you have a friend or family member who is a teacher, find out if he or she can purchase your school supplies. Often teachers are eligible for a discount on school supplies. * Purchase bulk quantities of certain supplies and find out if they can be sold as a fundraiser for the school. A portion of the sales will go to the PTA. Buying school supplies in bulk can save money and provide an opportunity to give something back to the school community.

Attention! BACK-to-SCHOOL Fall Registration Things to consider before making a career change When men and women find themselves out of work or dissatisfied with their employment, changing careers represents greener pastures and a new beginning. Many people who have successfully changed careers admit the change did them good. But individuals considering a career change should consider a variety of factors before making such a significant decision. Finances Those with significant finan-
cial flexibility may not need to weigh finances too heavily when considering a career change. Most people, however, need to determine if they can afford a career change. Men and women with considerable professional experience might find that their past experiences don’t translate to their new desired field of work. In such instances, people should expect to take substantial pay cuts. Those who can afford pay cuts might seamlessly transition to a new career, while those who
can’t afford to earn less money may find themselves deeply regretting their decisions. Potential earnings should not be the only factor to consider, but don’t ignore certain financial realities, either. Career or Company? A person unhappy with his or her current position might mistake feelings about the company with feelings about the career field itself. If you like your work but feel held back by your com-

pany, then you might be better suited to finding new employment within your field instead of switching fields entirely. Thanks to an economy that has struggled considerably over the last half decade, many companies have asked more of their existing employees, leading to employee burnout and dissatisfaction. If your dissatisfaction stems more from the company, be it minimal advancement opportunities or lack of employee appreciation, than from your actual work, then you likely don’t need to change careers but merely companies.
a career change. The job market has never fully recovered from the recession that began in 2007, and many experienced professionals have been out of work for several years. If your desired field of work is not thriving, then your prospects of finding gainful, rewarding employment might be rather slim. Of course, the economy can still recover down the road and that recovery might open up a wealth of attractive opportunities. But switching careers to a field of work that is struggling financially might not be worth the gamble.

changing careers. Some careers only require experience, and your experience in your current field might easily translate into a new line of work. Other careers, however, might have certain requirements with regard to education. In such instances, you might have to go back to school. Your willingness to learn new skills and possibly return to school should weigh heavily in your decision to change careers or to stay put. The decision to change careers is one that individuals make every day. But before that decision is reached, a careful consideration of a host of factors is necessary to ensure the decision is the right one.

* Start early. It’s never too early to start looking for an internship. In fact, many companies hope to have their internship positions filled well in advance. For example, if you’re looking for a summer internship, begin your search no later than January and continue that search throughout the semester.
* Do some networking. You might not have an expansive network of associates to tap into, but that does not mean you should go it alone. Talk to your parents to see if they or someone they know has heard about any internship opportunities in your chosen field. You might also be able to network via your school’s career center, which likely has an alumni-networking service that enables you to contact past graduates currently working in your chosen field. In some instances, these alumninetworking services can be an internship gold mine, as past graduates might prefer to hire current students from their alma mater as opposed to applicants from other schools.
In addition to starting early, don’t just seek summer internships. Some companies make internship opportunities available year-round, so you might be able to get one that coincides with the school year, even if you had a previous internship with a different company during the year. Internship experience is invaluable, and the more of it you can gain the more attractive you are likely to be to potential employers after graduation. * Do your homework. Chances are you’re working toward a degree in a specific field. Research the leading companies within that field and learn about their internship programs. Visit each company’s Web site and peruse their job list-
Competition for internships is often steep, and that’s especially so when the economy is struggling and even recent graduates are hoping to land internships. But students can employ several strategies to find the right internships and take their first steps toward rewarding careers.

* Work with your school. Whether you’re in college or you’re that rare high schooler looking for an internship, lean on your school for direction and advice. Colleges and universities have career centers that can help you gain an internship. They can assist you through access to job listings and by providing advice on crafting resumes and cover letters or tips on how to interview. In addition to your school’s career center, speak to professors in your desired field and seek their advice. Many professors likely have experience in the field

One of the ways current students or even recent graduates can make themselves more attractive to prospective employers is to find the right internship. Internships are not always easy to get, and many of them don’t pay. But students who find the right internship often look back and recognize that their internship was their first step toward a rewarding career, and a step that provided valuable insight into their chosen field. To find the right internship, consider the following tips.

Germs may be lurking in your kids’ lunch box: study Global Hygiene Council
EMC news - Canadian moms earn top marks when it comes to good hygiene practices, but a new study by Lysol and the Global Hygiene Council reveals they could do more to safeguard against bacteria hotspots in schools, especially at lunch time. The 2012 Lysol Back to School Study surveyed 14,000 mothers of five- to 12-year-olds across 14 countries, including 1,000 Canadians. Eighty-eight per cent of Canadian mothers said they teach their child good hygiene practices, such as hand washing after using the washroom and coughing into the sleeve. However, only 53 per cent said their children are made to wash their hands before eating lunch. Improper storage of packed lunches can also cause foodborne illness. Less than half (43 per cent) of Canadian moms said they refrigerate their child’s lunch after preparation. Improper food storage puts kids at an increased risk of coming into contact with bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella, which could cause serious illness and force kids to stay home from school. Considering 35 per cent of
Canadian moms said doing well academically is their biggest worry when their child goes back to school, these findings may be especially significant. DISINFECT
Lunches may also become contaminated from improper disinfection habits at home. Only 45 per cent of mothers said they clean and disinfect their child’s lunch box daily, increasing the opportunity for bacteria to grow and food-borne illness to occur. Parents should also teach kids about the importance of proper hygiene while eating lunch at school. In a second part of the Lysol Back to School Study, seven elementary schools in the United States were swabbed for bacteria to detect levels of contamination. Results showed that 44 per cent of eating areas were contaminated. In contrast, the level of contamination in the washrooms was surprisingly low (three per cent), which is likely due to more vigilant cleaning regimes in school bathrooms. TIPS:
The Global Hygiene Council offers the following tips for guarding against germs at
school this fall: • Hand washing: get your child into the habit of washing his or her hands regularly, particularly after visiting the washroom and before eating, both at home and at school. Remind your child to wash his or her hands before opening their lunch box. • Surface disinfection: teach your child to wipe off the desk or cafeteria table with disinfectant wipes before eating lunch. This will decrease the chances of your child ingesting harmful bacteria from commonlytouched surfaces, which are more likely to be contaminated. Be aware that moist environments, like the water fountain, can harbor germs. • Hygienic food preparation and storage: disinfect your child’s lunch box every day with disposable disinfectant wipes, and rinse with warm water. Wash raw fruit, salad and vegetables thoroughly before packing them in your child’s lunch. Freshly prepare food each day. There is less of an opportunity for germs to grow, the shorter the amount of time that food is stored. Refrigerate your child’s lunch box after preparation, and consider using a freezer pack or cool bag to help keep your child’s lunch chilled.
Travel the world through the world of dance You don’t have to travel the world to explore the world of dance. You only have to travel to a nearby recreation facility and take part in one of the more than 200 adult dance classes offered by the City of Ottawa. Experience them all in the Adult Classes chapter of the Recreation eGuide, available at ottawa.ca/ recreationguide. Start your journey in exotic India where you can experience the cinematic sensation of Bollywood dancing. From there, venture into the middle east where you can learn to Belly dance and, in a limited offering, Bellywood. Belly dance classes have been around for years. When you are ready to take your belly dance skills to the next level, learn the complexities of Egyptian style dance by combining technique with intermediate and advanced choreography. Then, further sample the continent by learning about Western African Dance. Here, you will discover the rhythm and the energy of African dance and get a great cardio workout at the same time. Cross the Atlantic to the beaches of Rio. You will be ready for Carnival after indulging in Latin Rythm, Latin Line dancing, Salsa and
Merengue classes. Or, for a Latin flavour without crossing the ocean, head north to the Mediterranean to learn Spanish castanets. If you are looking for more of a workout, try a Cardio Fit Class with Latin Spice. For a more domestic experience, there are several ballroom, hip hop, jazz, rock and jive and American tango classes. Learn the energetic and entertaining art of Step dancing. This Irish/Scottish influenced form of dance dates back to the 1800s in the Ottawa Valley. Routines will focus on footwork, rhythms, and musicality. Can’t quite decide? Maybe you want to combine a few cultures in a Dance Fusion class, or Qi Dance, a fitness class with moves built around the world’s hottest rhythms, opening your body to change, freedom and fun.
Fall Classes start soon!

Greely Sand & Gravel Gives Back! 2012 Loads of Love Campaign Raises $25,380 for CHEO.
Greely Sand & Gravel donated $5 from every household load of landscaping supplies, picked up or delivered.
This past spring, Greely Sand & Gravel did the impossible, transforming loads of topquality soil, stone, sand and mulch into loads of money for the Childrens’ Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).
“CHEO was there for us when our children were young, and now CHEO is there for our grandchildren,” explains Greely Sand & Gravel Owner Brent Pyper.
For over 30 years, Greely Sand & Gravel has been a family owned and operated company that really cares about their community. The idea behind Loads of Love was simple: During their busiest time of year, from April 15th to June 30th,

Melon and pepper festival wows crowd Kate Glynn
The farm grows 21 types and140 varieties of melon, many of which, such as the canary, butterscotch, oriental and tropical melons, were available for tasting at a table set up on site. “You can’t compare fully ripe melons, picked at their prime, to those you see in the stores. Each one is different in texture and taste. You have to try them to appreciate the differences,” Teraud said. Many of the varieties of melon at Acorn Creek are not available at grocery stores because the rinds are thin and would be disturbed during shipping. The event allows the public an opportunity to sample new varieties Teraud said. “And the wonderful hot sunny weather this season means sweeter and tastier melons this
THE BEAST
Brad Pye was one of three contestants brave enough to step forward for the first ever competition, that had organizers altering the contest rules beforehand to encourage participation. Pye, who was not be outdone by his nine-year-old son Will, who tried the Trinidad Scorpion Moruga at the pepper tasting table, signed up first. The Trinidad pepper that measures 1.8 million on the Scoville heat units (SHU) scale has earned the nickname, The Beast. It is said that a small sized pepper can heat up seven pots of stew before ever having its skin cut open and is listed in the Guinness Book of Records

as the world’s hottest pepper. Pye was able to go the distance and finished alongside Thomas Leboeuf after completing all five rounds of the competition. Pye and his family have attended the free event for most of the past eight years. “We think, oh we’ll go for an hour or so and then stay most of the day. There is so much to do and the kids love it. It is a great event and it’s free,” Pye said. Approximately 700 visitors attended the event, which featured cooking demonstrations by local chefs, wagon rides through the vegetable fields, guided tours of the melon and pepper patches, competitions and prizes. Local artisans and vendors were on hand with baked goods, preserved meats, hot sauces, preserves and crafts. The farm is open to visitors seven days a week between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. and during the winter by appointment. To find out what is fresh and in season visit www. acroncreek.com or check out the Acorn Creek Garden Farm booth Saturday’s at the Carp Farmers Market, where they have been vendors since 1990.

EMC news - Temperatures at the Acorn Creek Garden Farm ranged from cool to scorching on Labour Day, as the farm held its 14th annual MelonFest and Pepper Pow. WOW! The unique combination of melons and peppers were celebrated this past weekend with taste testing and competitions held at a 40-hectare farm near Carp owned by Cindy and Andy Teraud. The idea for the festival sprang from a televised CBC news segment featuring the farm, which the couple have operated since 1978, and the melons they grow. The five-minute segment aired 15 years ago on a news station and then again on Ontario Today. “When we started getting calls from all over Canada saying they would be in Ottawa, (and asking) could they stop in and pick-up a melon, I thought, there is more interest in melons than I thought,” he said.
By: Your Local Family Physiotherapy Centre Team Are you experiencing back pain, neck pain, or headaches in your office or workplace? Are these aches and pains interfering with your productivity? Poor ergonomics orwork place design may be contributing to your discomfort. Good workplace design can result in overall improved health and safety. It can cause a decreased frequency of musculoskeletal injuries, decreased stress and tension related illnesses, and other health issues such as visual fatigue. If you are experiencing pain throughout or at the end of your workday, consider reassessing your workspace and implementing the following suggestions. These helpful recommendations can assist in minimizing risk of injury: 1. Ensure your head is not
tilted too far back or too far forward when looking at your computer screen. The top of your screen should be no higher than eye level. 2. Use a telephone headset if you are on the phone frequently. This helps to avoid strain on the neck that occurswhen holding a phone between your ear and shoulder. 3. Your chair should have sufficient back support that maintains the natural curves of your back.
6. Knees should be bent to approximately 90 degrees while seated. 7. Feet should be flat on the floor or supported by a footrest. If your aches and pains persist, contact your local Family Physiotherapist to provide you with plenty more helpful tips, therapy and exercises.
Ergonomically Correct: Posture 4. The chair surface should have enough friction to avoid in the Workplace any sliding off the seat.
5. The front edge of the seat should not put any pressure to the back of your knees and should not be too far back on the bottom of the thighs. There should be no restrictions of blood circulation to your lower limbs.
