City to bridge extra construction costs

They even tried Karaoke, but with bus routes that end at midnight, their crowd was limited. After a while, they started to take advantage of the local music scene. “There are so many bands here that want to play,” Pat said. “It was a much better arrangement to have them play for the door (cover charge). Then they draw their own crowd.” The club has already seen the likes of rocker bands like Anvil and Helix, and has a regular roster of great tribute bands like mAlice and Monsters – an Alice Cooper tribute and Great Scott which plays AC/DC.

EMC news – Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches said the latest funding approved for the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge isn’t just about the dollars and cents. “We are going to try and recoup some of the funds through the bond agreement after the Aug. 31 deadline,” Desroches said. “But right now we just need to get the job done.” Nearly a year after the link between Riverside South and Barrhaven was supposed to open, the city’s finance and economic development committee approved $1.6 million in extra funds to support the project until construction can be completed. But Desroches said although the committee approved the additional funding on June 4, it’s important to remember the city has a $22-million bond on the project. The company hired to build the $48-million beleaguered bridge went into receivership in March 2012. Then a year later the city announced some delays because of welding issues. The extra funding approved by the city will pay for extra project managers, technical consultants and inspectors supervising the contractors. A portion of the funding will also be for design changes, Desroches said. “It’s not uncommon for a project as large as this to require design changes,” he said.

EMC news - Sitting at the scarred bar of the Brass Monkey on Greenbank Road in his Frank Zappa T-shirt, planning their next show, Pat Beauchamp admitted he has come a long way from the boardrooms where he used to work. Beauchamp, who did public opinion research for the federal government, took over the bar with his brother in October 2010. Brian, a lawyer, had worked with the Justice Department before opening the Orange Monkey in Centretown a few years earlier. When the brothers first bought what is now the Brass Monkey, it has been

a Broken Cue for 25 years. The previous owners – who also own Tailgators on Merivale Road – took the majority of the pool leagues with them in the move. “When we first opened we didn’t do much, we just wanted to see what we had,” Pat said. But with 10-person crowds on a Friday night, something had to be done. With a small stage, the brothers got to work looking for live music. It took a while to come up with a formula that worked. “At first we started out with classic rock tribute bands, but that was expensive,” Pat said, adding it only brings in a certain kind of crowd.

EMC news - A new bylaw came into effect to regulate clothing donation bins on June 3. Whether on public or private property, the bins must state if they are affiliated with a charity, which one it is collecting for along with the registration number, and must have a working phone number, said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, who first raised the issue in 2011. Bins must also state if they are collecting for a for-profit business. “If you see a box that’s overflowing or you want to call to see what exactly they’re doing with the stuff you give them, there has to be a working number,” he said. “Most importantly, they now have to have the permission of the landowner.” Before the bylaw was put into effect, donation bins were just “showing up,” he said. The Salvation Army and Neighbourhood Services are both charities approved by the city, said Hubley. “Because they’re local charities and they’re doing things to help our

community.” Hubley added that people can now make an informed decision when donating their clothes. “Now you’ll know where your stuff is going and it’s up to you what you want to do,” he said. Bylaw officers will be checking donation bins but if people notice something that isn’t in compliance with the new bylaws, they are encouraged to call 311 and report any discrepancies, said Hubley. “I would encourage people to take a look at the sign on those boxes and make sure that they comply with the bylaws.” Hubley first raised the issue about clothing bins in 2011. At that time, the Jubilee Donations bins – especially one at Jack Charron Arena – were of particular concern, Hubley said, because they are not emptied regularly and it’s not clear if Jubilee is a registered charity. Hubley called the phone number listed on the box and determined that Jubilee is a storage company. With files from Laura Mueller

Acts booking bar’s stage far in advance Continued from page 3

Local acts like the Maria Hawkins Band also get stage time. On Thursday nights, there’s an open mic night for bands that jam together but haven’t had too many gigs. “We have had some bands form from doing open mic,” Pat said. “It’s a chance to see what it’s like for the band to get on stage together.” Pat said he loves working with emerging bands, and is amazed at the love of music. “Some guys come all the way from Toronto to play for a few hundred bucks, some Big Macs and some drinks,” Pat said. “And they’re good.” It’s a mutual respect that keeps the bands coming back, Pat said, and everyone’s happy. He’s making that philosophy work with higher profile bands like Quiet Riot and the Pat Travers Band – set to take the stage on June 28 and 29 respectively. “We want the bar to eventually be the kind of place where people go to just see what’s on,” Pat said. “So you have to get the bigger acts in here to draw attention to the club.” It costs to get the bands out, but it’s worth it,” he said. “A lot of people will look at the band and say, ‘Gee, Quiet Riot is playing little clubs like the Brass Monkey now?’ and think that’s a comment on the band,” Pat said. “But it’s that we are willing to pay them properly.” The big shows have to sell out for the owners to recoup their costs, because it’s not just about paying the band, it’s about the extra equipment, ground transportation, hotels and the hospitality rider. Pat recounted a story of a band that sent their hospitality rider – a kind of list of accessories the band would like to have, including drinks and other supplies – the group asked for socks. “So we got them socks, and they were blown away. I guess no one had ever went out and got that before,” Pat said, adding his lack of experience in the music business is sometimes a plus. “The list said socks so I went out and got them,” he said. Despite the hard work, the risk of bringing in higher profile acts seems to be working – as the brothers have a couple of surprises for the rest of the summer. Acts are already asking to book as far away as Halloween. With a big space and high rent, the brothers want to turn the pool hall into a go-to

Problems with bridge project may prompt changes in process Continued from page 3

The experience with the bridge could alter the way the city funds insurance on bigger projects Desroches said. “The bonding company is covering the delay but they are making decisions out of a boardroom in Toronto,” Desroches said. “They aren’t really exploring an accelerated timeline.” Desroches said it may be in the city’s best interests to create a reserve fund and insure their own projects against delays. In the meantime, the only option is to get the bridge built, he said. “Between the Earl Armstrong (Road) widening and the work on Strandherd Road, that corridor has had more than $100 million in work done,” Desroches said. “The bridge is the last piece of the puzzle.”

Let’s avoid casino tunnel vision

F

ollowing recent upheaval in the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation boardroom and a change of tact on casinos initiated by the premier’s office, Mayor Jim Watson has also made an about face on the issue. After making the case for the city to support a downtown casino, the mayor now wants to see any new gaming facilities placed at the Rideau Carleton Raceway. While this is great news for anyone connected with the horse racing industry, it should be at least a little disconcerting for many residents as once again city hall is narrowing the discussion about a particular issue. Remember the epic court battles fought by the city over the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park? Many of the arguments against the city partnering with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group pointed to a lack of open competition. Isn’t that what’s happening here? Like with Lansdowne, there is at least one other group interested in making a serious bid to build a casino in another area of the city: Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk, wants the opportunity to build one beside Scotiabank Place. A francophone business group has also called for an open competition for any new gaming facility. An open competition only makes sense, not only

for the bidder, but the city as well. Competition would see multiple business plans presented to the city, which staff could in turn evaluate to come up with a recommendation that makes the most sense for Ottawa. More than likely, what makes sense for Ottawa would be a proposal that maximizes gambling revenue for the city, as this is really the only reason to build a new casino – if we’re not in it to make money, we probably shouldn’t be building one at all. This is not to say the raceway can’t present a compelling business case. It has lots of land to build on and few neighbours to annoy. Area gamblers are also familiar with the existing slots, so there is an existing customer base. The biggest drawbacks to the site are a lack of growth potential due to its distance from downtown and the lack of transportation infrastructure. Downtown, on the other hand, doesn’t suffer either of those problems. Downtown’s biggest problem is the lack of a ready-made site. Melnyk’s potential plan would fall somewhere between the two: ample space, good transit links and location near Highway 417, but also not near the city’s major tourist hub. These are the factors that need to be considered by the city, and by narrowing the potential sites to just one, Watson is effectively neutering this discussion.

Considering the what-ifs of Ottawa baseball

T

he future of minor league baseball in Ottawa is connected to series of what-ifs. What if the stadium had been built on LeBreton Flats where, heaven knows, there’s still lots of room for it? More recently, what if someone had thought about baseball when Lansdowne Park was being redesigned? And most importantly, what if the city hadn’t allowed the stadium parking lot on Coventry Road to become hotels? Sure, there are other questions. One of them is whether baseball, as a spectator sport, has simply had its day. When the Ottawa Lynx thrived in the mid-‘90s, baseball was not only popular but trendy. The Lynx Stadium was the place to be seen and frequently sold out. Not many years later, only die-hard ball fans could be found there. How many of those are left and are they being replaced? Obviously, there are people who think so, and bless them. There is hardly a day goes by that someone isn’t talking about moving one Double-A franchise or another into the stadium, so someone must have confidence that the game can return to its former level of glory in this city. If not glory, at least enough people in the

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town stadium to fill a good-sized parking lot. Which brings us back to the most important what-if. There have been various attempts to bring baseball back since the Lynx left town to become the Lehigh Valley IronPigs in 2007. All ran into the same problem that plagued the Lynx in their last days: not enough parking. The kind of beautiful Sunday afternoon that would bring capacity crowds to the stadium would find many potential members of those capacity crowds vainly searching for a place to put their cars. Too many gave up. It’s not a problem easily solved. It would be unfair to allow nearby residential areas to be overrun with cars. Given the amount of space left on the original parking lot side, underground parking or the construction of Published weekly by:

a parking garage would seem to be the only ways to solve the problem. Both are expensive, and risky, considering that no one really knows if baseball will attract the desired number of fans. Ultimately, the what-if game is pointless, since previous mistakes can’t be unmade. For whatever reasons, the stadium is in a bad location and doesn’t have enough parking. The city can’t remove the hotels. Writing the stadium off and moving baseball to another location would be hard to take after the amount of money that has been spent. But ... what if the stadium were at LeBreton Flats, with lots of space for parking, lots of public transit, close to downtown restaurants and bars? Someone actually did think of that back in the day, but the National Capital Commission said no. Surprise, surprise. Or, what if a new stadium was built in conjunction with a new casino? That would certainly put lots of tourists in the vicinity and some of them might be willing to desert their slot machines for a couple of hours to watch a ball game. But that’s a no-go too: the association, physical and otherwise, of baseball and gambling has been rightly frowned upon for years.

What if baseball had been included in the Lansdowne redevelopment plan? That would put the ballpark within walking distance of a substantial number of fans. And those fans would have places to walk to after the game. The problem there is that Lansdowne is tied to football and football stadiums do not lend themselves to baseball, either for the fans or the players. Anyone who has ever seen a baseball game at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto can vouch for that. Oddly, optimism persists in some quarters. It would be nice to think that it is justified. Baseball will never dominate the life of this city, but its lack has certainly been felt.

Caring approach to discipline THIS WEEK’S POLL QUESTION:

O

ne of my children is going through a “no” phase lately. The daily Q&A goes a little something like this: Mom says, “Could you unload the dishwasher?” Son says, “No.” Mom says, “Get your pyjamas on; it’s time for bed.” Son says, “No.” For a while I thought the best way to get him out of the “no” phase was to say “no” myself more often. Son says, “Mom, can I have a birthday party?” Mom says, “No.” Son says, “Can I bring my soccer ball to school?” Mom says, “No.” But after a few weeks of mom-in-the-negative, things started to get really out of hand. Instead of just a defiant “no,” my son was getting into full-scale, raging temper tantrums. I spent a lot of time thinking about what to do. My husband and I would talk about our frustrations. But mostly, we were coming up empty. It wasn’t until I remembered the “We Care” approach to parenting, advocated by my aunt and uncle, that I came up with an answer. The “We Care” approach grounds every disciplinary action into a caring act. It’s not easy, but when you’re forced, as a parent, to think about being caring rather than angry, it can make the difference between a defiant child throwing a tantrum or one who storms off to consider his actions in silence. The latter, of course, is preferable. It goes something like this. Mom says, “Unload the dishwasher, please.” Son says, “No.” Mom says, “It’s

Capital Muse important for everyone in the house to help. I’d like you to unload the dishwasher so I can focus on making you supper before your soccer game. Otherwise, it’s going to be very difficult for all of us to do what we want to do, which is get to soccer.” You see how that works? You give the kid some justification for your actions and when he realizes how loving and caring his parents are, he kind of feels bad and recognizes his own selfishness. The “We Care” approach can also be effective when you’re responding to something negative. Let’s say, hypothetically, your son happens to kick a plush soccer ball at his baby sister’s head. He knows he’s in trouble, so he goes into pre-emptive strike mode, throwing a tantrum about how the baby is always in the way of his game. Instead of “freaking out,” which, to be honest, is my instinctive reaction, the “We Care” approach demands I say, “I’d like you to comfort your sister and think about a better place to play with the ball. I care about both of you. I really want you to be active and have fun, but I need your baby sister to be safe. It’s a lot more fun if you play in the basement, where there’s no baby.” The “We Care” approach may sound simple, but it demands a lot from the par-

A tall order. But it really is great. And your kids will come to respect you more for it, especially because the “We Care” approach can be surprising to them. My son was so used to mom saying no, for example, that he was ill-prepared for my response when he refused to empty the dishwasher for the third day in a row. “Go ahead,” I said. “Ask me if I’m going to rearrange your dentist appointment so you can go on your yearend school trip? Ask me if I’ll pay $15 out of my own money so you can go?” “You’ll say no,” my son shouted, “because I won’t do the dishwasher!” “Just ask me!” “Will you rearrange my dentist appointment and pay $15 so I can go on my yearend school trip?” “Yes,” I shouted, “because I care about you and you’ve worked hard at school this year and I think it’s important for you to have fun with your friends and celebrate.” “Okay, mom,” he said, “I’ll unload the dishwasher.” And that my friends, is the “We Care” approach to parenting at its best.

New languages course available at Wabano Algonquin, Cree to be taught to all ages Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Starting this September, the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health will hold credited Algonquin and Cree courses for interested people of all ages. The new languages program is thanks to Janice Ling, a language instructor and director of the International Languages School of Eastern Ontario. Ling, who runs Chinese and Spanish classes said a recent interaction with a teacher who teachers Algonquin inspired her to create a course available to people from across the city. “The teacher told me that some of the Aboriginal communities are losing their languages, or once they come to the city, don’t use it the same,” Ling said. She then made it her mission to find a way to offer these languages to the public and found funding for

the program through the French Catholic school board’s international languages program. “Chinese for example, you can learn in any international program, but you can’t do the same with Algonquin,” Ling said. “I would like to make it the norm.” Ling said without the support from the school board, none of this would be possible. “The board figured out how to find the funding,” Ling said. “When people collaborate, impossible things happen.” The languages program will offer two classes: one for school children, and one credited course for high school students and adults. Space is limited, with a maximum of 18 students per class. The classes will take place at the Wabano centre every Thursday from 6:15 to 8:30 p.m. The cost to take the credited high school course is $30, simply to cov-

er registration costs. Children up to Grade 8 are free. The languages instructor said the goal would be make Aboriginal and First Nations languages as easy to learn as any other language. The program isn’t just about learning a language -- it’s also about learning about the culture and Ling said there is no better place to learn then at Wabano. “It’s a spiritual space,” she said. “If the public uses the space, they are not only learning a language, they are taking in culture.” Lynn Fletcher is the culture coordinator for Wabano and she said she expects there to be a lot of interest in the classes. “Since we opened the new centre, I have been asked by the community about a languages program,” Fletcher said. “We have had some language courses in the past, but the funding only lasted for so long.

Students from the first International Languages School of Eastern Ontario class visited Parliament building this past year. The languages school will now offer Algonquin and Cree courses at the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health. board, these courses will be able to be offered for a long time.” Fletcher said although there are more than 60 Aboriginal languages, Algonquin has similarities with many and by taking the course students may have the ability to converse with many different First Nations, Aboriginals and Métis. According to a 2011 Stats Canada survey Aboriginals who can conduct a conversation in a traditional language is in decline. Only 17 per cent of the population who identified as Aboriginal responded that they were able to converse in an Aboriginal language, down from 2006 when 21 per cent said they were able to converse in an Aboriginal language. In that same report, Stats Canada found that only 4,305 non-Aboriginal people reported knowing an Aboriginal language. For the school board’s international languages program coordinator Frank Da Costa, he said it’s a shame that more Canadians, do not know any Aboriginal languages. “It really struck me that no one is teaching this. It’s crazy for us not to do this,” he said. “If we are able to do this, if we can help make more people capable of speaking one of these languages, we are going to do it.” Working with Wabano, Da Costa said, just made sense.

“We like to have our schools where our community is, now all we need is the students,” he said. Currently, the board serves more than 6,000 students learning 20 different languages through its languages program. Da Costa said more than 70 per cent of the students taking the courses are students from outside the board. In addition to adding the Cree and Algonquin language courses, the board will also add Angolan and Swahili. Da Costa said ultimately, he would like to also offer other Aboriginal and Inuit languages to the program, and is currently reaching out to other organizations to see if that is a possibility. “These language courses give them (the students) not only the knowledge of a language, but also about the culture,” Da Costa said. “I like to say that the extra languages we teach open up the children and students to the world and the world to them.” Email languages@hotmail.ca to register for the Algonquin or Cree languages courses.

EMC news - The grounds at the Vanier community centre will turn medieval this weekend as men and women come across the land arrive to compete in the community’s first ever sword festival. The event, Borealis Swordplay Symposium, is a two-day event, with art of arms and fierce sword competitions planned for June 15 and a pomp and regalia on June 16. Les MaĂŽtres d’Armes has been teaching historical fencing since 2005, and has been running its program at the Vanier community centre for the past five years. The organization has participated in many other events over the years, but this will be the first year for the swordplay symposium. Jason Smith, a principal instructor and director for the organization, said the event is Les MaĂŽtres d’Armes way to introduce Ottawa to historical martial arts. “We thought it was high time to bring something to the Eastern Canada, to let people in this part of the country who might not otherwise travel abroad to gain the benefit of some of the leading instructors in the world,â€? he said. The event is divided into the two days, Smith said, so students from all levels can gain instruction on a variety of different fencing styles. “Yes, it will be competitive, but it is not a competition,â€? Smith said. “The winner is the person chosen among the participants as having shown the best display of the art, with the best sportsmanship, or dare we say ‘chivalric demeanor.’ â€? Participants will be divided into factions to challenge and fight one another in amicable competition. The community is encouraged to come out and cheer on the swordsmen and women, while they challenge each other. The Sunday event will also have a charity barbecue that will help raising money for the Youth Services Bureau. The organization has helped raise money for the Youth Services Bureau in the past, and felt hosting a barbecue was a great way to included them in their first event. “We thought we could continue to help the organization we’ve grown to have a relationship with by inviting them to provide our fighters with valuable sustenance during their day-long adventure,â€?

Birch bark canoe launches francophone celebrations at Petrie Island brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Exactly 400 years after Samuel Champlain’s famous trip up the Ottawa River, a group of De La Salle high school students celebrated by retracing a small part of the journey in a handmade birch bark canoe. The students paddled past Petrie Island in a canoe held together by spruce gum and constructed with the help of Christian Pilon, a Métis canoe-maker and speaker. The canoe launch was a part of the 400th anniversary celebration organized by the Franco-Ontarian Heritage and Historical Society. “Champlain was able to come so far and up to Ottawa and further because he had the help of the Algonquins that were living in the region,” said Nicole Fortier, the historical society’s president. “So we could not do this without thanking the Algonquins and the First Nations.” The French public school board funded Pilon’s visit, running the project as a part of the aboriginal culture curriculum.

He put on an assembly for all the students in the school about aboriginal culture and the canoe project, and invited students to be a part of it. Students could commit to being a part of the project all throughout the year, or come in to help for an hour or two whenever they wanted. Several students worked on the project on a daily basis for several months. “Their hands were all swollen from working with the birch bark and spruce gum,” Pilon said. “They really took it seriously, and I would hear them in the hallways, sharing what they learned with the other students.” Pilon harvested the bark from around the area, and taught the students how to stitch and assemble the canoe. “It gave them a chance to learn, and at the same time to learn that they’re indigenous from somewhere too,” he said. “From the very beginning, everyone was following nature like we do in our culture.” The canoe – which Pilon and students paddled through the water at Petrie Island during the launch – will now stay

at De La Salle high school. Grade 10 student Justine Gamache-Howard, from Orléans, who is part Algonquin, was quick to sign up for the project. She became emotional during her speech to the students, detailing the hundreds of hours she spent on the project. “It captivated me totally and it was something new that I’d never done,” she said. “I was like, ‘this is a one in a lifetime chance, and I’m not going to skip it.’ I was in there every single day working on it.” The canoe launch was only a small part of the large celebration, that lasted through the day and night at Petrie Island. Francophone artists performed and descendants of the first five families to settle in Orléans – Besserer, Major, Vézina, Duford/Gauthier, and Dupuis/Soctt – attended a booth with presentations on the settlement of Orléans. “We all gathered together, and this is the result,” Fortier said. “A lot of community work, a lot of community involvement, all related to all kids of tradition.”

Mother Teresa offers one of a kind emergency services course Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - It’s like CSI and ER rolled into one Barrhaven classroom. Randy Baird, who teaches the emergency medical services course at Mother Teresa High School, can’t believe his luck. The course – which is offered to students from across the Ottawa Catholic School Board – is a semester long and gives kids a sneak peek into the lives of the city’s police, paramedics and firefighters. The classroom, which boasts a kitchen, access to the outside and a space to work out, has a capacity of 25. There are currently 21 kids enrolled for the next school year. In the display case outside the class, there’s a fingerprinted liquor bottle; the kids tested out their skills when it was found on school property. There’s also a dummy strapped to a gurney with her arms bandaged – a lesson in

paramedic work. The students hear from real-world professionals and have an arrangement with the fire station 44 on Greenbank Road to get a chance to test out what they learn in the classroom.

You have to be able to trust your partner to guide you in those kinds of situations. RANDY BAIRD

“There’s not a whole lot of theory,” Baird said, adding he likes that he gets a chance to teach experiential learning. They learn CPR, but it’s much more than that. “Paramedics are really travelling doctors, so there’s a lot the kids can learn,” Baird

said. Students have to apply for a spot in the course and spend three-quarters of their school day prepping for a career in emergency work. The makeup of the course is still mostly males, but Baird said he would like to see more girls get into it. This past school year, students were paired up and went to the Greenbank Road fire station to attempt a searchand-rescue in a blacked out room. The pair had to find a dummy that was in distress. “That’s why the camaraderie is so important,” Baird said. “You have to be able to trust your partner to guide you in those kinds of situations.” The course has 21 students signed up for next year. The program will continue to grow thanks to its partners with the city. “It’s a lot of fun, I come home a few times a year saying to my wife, ‘I want to be a firefighter, or a police officer, or a paramedic,’” Baird said.

Horse industry ‘thrilled’ by casino announcement Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - An entire industry breathed a sigh of relief on Monday, June 3 when Mayor Jim Watson said the Rideau Carleton Raceway should be the only option for a future casino in Ottawa. “Obviously anyone affiliated with horse racing and the Rideau Carleton Raceway is thrilled with the news,” said John MacMillan, founder of the National Capital Region Horse Racing Association, and leader of the Casino Choice Ottawa campaign. “There’s a lot of relieved people at Rideau Carleton because they were worried about losing their jobs.” In a surprising about-face on the issue, Watson informed councillors by email on Monday night he would propose “that the city identify the Rideau Carleton Raceway as the only acceptable location for an expanded gaming facility in Ottawa.” He tabled his motion at the city’s finance and economic development committee on June 4, to be considered in July. Given that the Ontario Gaming and Lottery Corporation will only allow one gaming site in each designated gaming zone - killing the hope

of a satellite slots program to complement a downtown casino - Watson said it was “becoming increasingly clear that there would be no future role for the RCR given the OLG’s most recent position,” he wrote. “Therefore, I do not believe we should jeopardize the Rideau Carleton Raceway operation by not being crystal clear to the OLG prior to the start of its RFP process.” For the past year, Watson has vocally supported an urban casino location. Community leaders like Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson and Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod have been fighting against him to save the raceway’s monopoly on gaming in the city. The raceway has been suffering since the end of March, when the province ended its 13year revenue-sharing agreement through the Slots at Racetracks program. With a new casino planned for downtown - and thus the permanent removal of the racetrack’s slot machines - the raceway was all but doomed. Not surprisingly, Thompson said he was very happy to hear the mayor had changed his mind. Thompson said he “was going crazy” FILE trying to make OLG and Watson see the race- Mayor Jim Watson has scrapped his idea of a downtown casino, and now says the Rideau track’s potential. Carleton Raceway is the only appropriate place for a gaming facility in Ottawa. “I’ve said this continually: We have 1.7 millions visitors going every year; they give $70 any losses from running the racetrack promillion to the province already; they’re go- grams. ing to build hotels, they have ample parking,” Without a revenue sharing program, the Thompson said. “It’s so logical that it would be racetrack is unsustainable. there, it just cries out.” “In the current formula horse racing is only He said the change of heart won’t please ev- limping along and losing money,” said Maceryone - several businessmen including Ottawa Millan, a horse racer of 25 years.

Dear Neighbours, This past month we were busy attending fairs, and hosting residents. I was pleased to welcome over 250 guests at my 3rd Annual Mother’s Day Tea. I want to say thank-you to everyone who attended, if you didn’t make it, I hope to see you next year! My staff and I also helped to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Centrepointe Theatres and Ben Franklin Place, Mayfair in Crystal Beach, and during National Road Safety week we helped to highlight the importance of bike and trafďŹ c safety to residents. BE PREPARED... I’m sure you have heard “prepare for the worst, hope for the bestâ€?. This past month we recognized Emergency Preparedness Week. As Chair of Community and Protective Services I was pleased to highlight the necessary steps to take for ensuring you are ready for any emergency. The warm weather also means we are opening our pools, heading to the cottage or visiting one of the many outdoor pools our City has to offer. Unfortunately, drowning is the second leading cause of death for children in Canada. The Drowning Prevention Coalition of Ottawa is working to ensure we all have a safe summer. I encourage you to visit www.Ottawa.ca where you will ďŹ nd helpful checklists, steps to ensure water safety and the City of Ottawa’s new pool enclosure regulations.

COMMUNITY MEETING Each and every day I love going to work, some days however; are more challenging than others. I was faced with such a day last month following the tragic incident in Britannia Woods. The incident drew attention to the community and much was written and said about the neighbourhood. It’s fair to say that bad things happen in good communities, but unfortunately when this happened in Britannia Woods, residents felt as though they were not seeing any of the many good aspects of their community receiving any proďŹ le. After speaking with residents and community partners I felt it was necessary to host a Community Meeting. I wanted to give residents the opportunity to voice their suggestions and ideas. Residents and community partners acknowledged there are challenges but highlighted so many positive initiatives that are happening each and every day. In the months to come I look forward to working very closely with Britannia Woods and will also be introducing residents there and across the ward to our new Volunteer Service Project.

Dream team kicks off Walk, Roll & Run Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com

hausting, said the single mom from Beaverbrook. “It’s just a break for me,” Vanzyl said of the help she received from Roger’s House. “They’ll take care of her, they cuddle her they love her, it’s like extended family. “We mainly use it for respite, but there’s times when we’re admitted to CHEO and then we’ll just go to Roger’s House and stay for a bit and we’re totally comfortable and then go home.” Henry Newton, an eightyear-old Ashton boy, has been visiting Roger’s House for the past two years, receiving respite care. Henry has Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a difficult-to-treat form of epilepsy that appears between the ages of two to three, characterized by frequent seizures. “He has hundreds of little seizures every day,” said his mother Miranda. Two years ago, Henry was able to sit up, talk and manoeuvre his wheelchair. “The seizures came on suddenly and robbed him of that,” said Miranda. He’s not really talking anymore. He’s having a hard time holding himself up.” Miranda and her husband Terry have gradually improved the situation with the help of the staff and volunteers at Roger’s House. “It gives us breaks,” said Miranda. “It gives us time to spend with the other two kids. “I don’t worry about him while he’s there. They take care of him and they look after us as well,” she added. “It’s about the whole family, not just Henry.”

Ottawa Senators forward Chris Neil and his wife Caitlyn introduce the Roger’s House Dream Team, six children who use the facility for treatment of life-threatening illnesses and respite care. The announcement official kicked-off of the Scotiabank Walk, Roll & Run fundraiser at Scotiabank Place on May 31. The 10th annual event provides money for Roger’s House’s operating and capital costs.

the Ottawa Senators Foundation, which raises nearly $800,000 annually through events like Walk, Roll & Run. “The community has been so supportive,” said Lloyd Cowin, executive director of Roger’s House. “We really appreciate it.” The money pays for medical supplies, special equipment for the kids, bereave-

ment support for the families and the special extras that make Roger’s House a home, such as a children’s playroom. “These families have a lot to deal with in their lives and anything we can do to help them is a real plus,” said Cowin. The number of applicants seeking a spot at Roger’s House keeps going up from

year to year. “We’re afraid we’re going to go over capacity in the coming year,” said Cowin. The children’s treatment centre takes in 450 patients a year and has a case load of 160 kids at any given time. “We usually have occupancy of 85 per cent, which is about ideal for us, because it gives us a little wiggle room to deal with emergencies,” he said. The house hopes to turn its basement into a teen recreation room, with a pool table, a television set and a stereo. “Right now the playroom is younger child oriented,” Cowin said. “We’d like to have a place teens feel comfortable with.” The money from the upcoming Walk, Roll & Run will help pay for that renovation. FUNDRAISER

This year’s Walk, Roll & Run will feature a tot-trot, and two-kilometre and fivekilometre routes, suitable for people of all ages. Scotiabank Place will also offer a family fun zone, which includes Sens Street Tour activities, such as balloon artists, face painters and a barbecue. Anyone who wants to support the event can register and collect pledges or sponsor Chris and Caitlin Neil at www.sensfoundation.com.

EMC news – Chris Neil’s dream team won’t score many goals but they’re sure to win a few hearts. The team, made up of six children from the greater Ottawa area who are receiving treatment and respite services for life-limiting illnesses, are leading the charge for this year’s Walk Roll & Run fundraiser at Scotiabank Place on June 16. Neil and his wife Caitlyn were on hand at the Ottawa Senators home arena on May 31 to introduce the children and officially kick off the 10th-annual fundraiser for Roger’s House. “It’s so inspiring to visit the children and families at the house,” said Caitlyn. “Understanding the challenges they face every day and how they persevere is incredible.” The veteran of this year’s dream team is Isabella Carriere, an 11-year-old who has been with the pediatric palliative care centre since it first opened its doors in 2006. The Lancaster, Ont. girl has metachromic leukodystrophy, a rare genetic disease that results in a loss of brain function, and physical symptoms including muscle wasting, paralysis, blindness and dementia. There is no cure. “We go there sometimes for help when we don’t know how to treat her,” said Isabella’s mother Melissa. Last month, Melissa and her husband Stephane took Isabella to Rogers House because she was having trouble sleeping and cried throughout the night. “Now she’s sleeping good,” said Melissa. “We’re pleased.”

Now in its seventh year of operation, Roger’s House has admitted more than 2,200 children from across Ontario and western Quebec battling serious illnesses. The eight-bedroom facility, located on the grounds of CHEO, provides a home away from home for the child and their family, where staff and volunteers provide treatment and respite care. Four-year-old Campbell Labonte, an Embrun boy who has cerebral palsy and is deaf and blind, was admitted to Roger’s House two years ago. “It was the best decision we could have made,” said Campbell’s mom, Joanna. “It’s provided such great support to our family; I mean we’re forever thankful. It’s a resource that we’ll always be able to use until Campbell’s 18, and for that we know it’s going to bring a lot of hope to our family.” Joanna and her husband Bert both work full-time jobs in the Canadian Armed Forces. “Roger’s House offers us that break when we need it, to just rejuvenate and feel ourselves again.” Roger’s House was a great help for Alex Vanzyl, whose 18-month-old daughter Maci has Phelan-McDermid syndrome, a rare chromosomal disorder which impairs speech, movement and development, and requires 24-hour care. Maci is fed using a tube and sleeps hooked up to a machine to assist her breathing. “She’s deemed palliative because she needs equipment to sleep at night,” said Vanzyl. Even with the help of her mother, providing continuous care for a child with a life-threatening disease is ex-

cal and innovative solutions to housing needs. The 254-unit Beaver Barracks occupies the land bordered by Catherine Street, Metcalfe Street, and Argyle Street, sharing a city block with the Taggart Family YMCA. Like the name suggests, the land once housed a Second World War-era training barracks for military servicemen, which the federal government sold to the former regional municipality in the early 1990s. Ray Sullivan, the CCOC’s executive director, said he’s pleased to see the recognition garnered by the development.

“It’s really great to see Beaver Barracks recognized on an international level,” he said. “Part of it is the design, and we have Barry Hobin & Associates Architects to thank for that. But, a lot of the (recognition) is from the impact on the community. It’s a mixed development designed to have a positive impact on the neighbourhood.” Consisting of two mid-rise apartment buildings, townhomes and stacked townhomes, the affordable housing development transformed “a semiabandoned, contaminated site in a forgotten corner of Centretown,” said Sullivan, adding, “There are over 100 kids living on that site alone – it’s brought a vibrancy to the community.” The building employs a number of energy-saving “green” features, which save the organization money over the long run, especially in energy costs. Being the landlord for 1,600 subsidized units means paying many mortgages, so any money saved is a good thing. The energy-saving features will allow the CCOC to pay down the mortgage on the Beaver Barracks, which is “hefty,” according to Sullivan. The development, which occurred in phases over several years, included funding from all levels of government. To make into the top 10 finalists, Beaver Barracks had to beat out most of the 200 projects competing for international top billing. Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes stated in a media release that the nomination is something Ottawa can be proud of. “I am thrilled to see recognition by the World Habitat Award for this fantastic example of what’s possible when government and local groups work together,” said Holmes. “It’s sustainable, it’s affordable, and it’s providing new family housing in an area where the only other houses going up are condos for singles and couples.” While Beaver Barracks has been well received by both residents and neighbours of the development, Sullivan said much more affordable housing needs to be built to sustain the current need in Ottawa. “This (development) is one step,” said Sullivan. “We’re waiting to see what the next steps will be.”

New program to help new moms feel at ease Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - New east end parents have a place to go to help ease them into life with a newborn. The Baby Express and Breastfeeding Support Drop-in at the St. Laurent Complex gives new moms, families and caregivers the chance to consult with an Ottawa Public Health nurse and a lactation consultant for babies one year and younger. The service is available at the complex on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Executive director of the Rideau-Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre Catherine Dubois worked with the Vanier Community Service Centre and OPH to launch this program. “Families really do so many great things that make sure their little ones and big ones are thriving,� Dubois said. “Young parents want the very best, and they put in tremendous effort and this is one thing that helps them on their journey.�

Members of Ottawa Public Health and staff from the Rideau-Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre and the Vanier Community Service Centre officially opens a new Baby Express and Breastfeeding Support Drop-in at the St. Laurent Complex on June 2. The program started up in April, offering new parents the opportunity to come out the complex on a Sunday to receive support and advice. “Having this service after hours is important,� Dubois said, adding that most new families need some flexibility in their schedule. Dubois added the program is to help promote breastfeeding, which she said, for some new moms can be hard. “Sometimes, moms feel like its not working, and with our lactation consultant and nurse you can talk it through,� she said. Choosing the location, which is centrally located for Vanier, Overbrook and the Carson Grove communities, Dubois said, was very important to ensuring this drop-in centre would be a success. “The boundaries between Overbrook and

Vanier are varied, and most don’t draw lines between the two communities. We wanted to choose an area, that people from a number of the communities, could get to,� Dubois said. The location, she added, has great Sunday bus service, lots of parking and open on the weekend. “It’s a really popular community place and we have a lovely room that is easy to get to but private for the families,� she said. “It’s welcoming to go to. That was important.� Dr. Merrilee Fullerton, member of the Ottawa Board of Health, attended the launch at the complex and said this new Baby Express location will ensure babies get the best possible start in life. Including the new location at the St. Laurent Complex, there are 20 locations across the city which offers breast feeding or newborn baby support.

By adding the east end location, the city announced it is now possible for new parents to get support and advice seven days a week. “I am happy to be working in collaboration with OPH’s Healthy Babies, Healthy Children Program,� Dubois said. “Partnerships such as this one are essential in meeting the community’s needs.� The Rideau-Rockcliffe centre is one member of the 13 Community Health and Resource Centres working in all neighbourhoods throughout Ottawa and the services at these centres range from counseling to community development in support of neighbourhoods, emergency food programs, early years programs, after school programs and seniors services, a wide range of services in service to people of all ages, cultures and life experiences

EMC news - “I was all set to become an anonymous altruistic donor,” said Bob McRae. “I’d weighed the risks and benefits, did extensive research, underwent testing, discussed it all with my family and joined Canada’s Living Donor Paired Exchange registry.” But life is full of unexpected surprises. The night before McRae’s Gatineau departure for Vancouver (to be part of a domino kidney transplant involving four recipients) a Canada goose flew into him while he was riding his bike. “I remember thinking how relieved I was that I was okay, and could still donate. I laughed about it with the transplant nurse who’d called me to confirm. It would have been tragic if anything had happened.” Instead, looking back, Bob McRae says he has only positive memories of his decision and the outcomes. “I would do it again at the drop of a hat,” he said. “I’ve been canvassing for the Kidney Foundation for years, raising funds to support research and patient programs.” In the past, McRae’s uncle and two cousins suffered from genetic kidney disease, but he, his mother and his five siblings have been spared. He recalls his mother as being an inspiring model of altruism and benevolence. “There are minimal risks to becoming a living organ donor,” McRae said. “Better still, I soon realized that by joining the national Living Donor Paired Exchange registry, my own donation might result in a domino effect that could improve the lives of several people and not just one recipient.” Expenses are also largely covered. An initiative called the Living Organ Donor Expense Reimbursement Program, works to ensure that there are very few out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the donor. “I would absolutely encourage anybody who really wants to make a difference—and is in a position to do so—to take the step of investigating living organ donation and possibly becoming a donor. The care and attention that I received from the organ donation staff and doctors throughout my experience were wonderful. If I had another kidney to give, I’d do it again.” News Canada

Geologic questions raised about proposed landfill site Continued from page 3

Their biggest concern, coalition volunteer and geological engineer Harry Baker said, was the geology of the site and the risk of earthquakes, particularly in that location. “This is a very active area seismically,” he said. “That’s important for us to know.” Many small earthquakes have been documented close to the Boundary Road landfill site, according to historical data, but most would never be felt by people living there. Baker noted that however small, these are not insignificant earthquakes, as it indicates there is continued stress build and stress release in the underlying rocks. “The geological conditions at the proposed Boundary Road landfill, such as a 30-metre thick layer of Leda clay in a seismically active zone in which earthquakes of magnitude 6 have occurred could seriously jeopardize a well-engineered facility,” states an executive summary. “That becomes an even more credible possibility if there are faults within a few hundred metres of the site, which could, in turn, amplify the threat to people and the environment.” Sue Langlois, president of the coalition, told those in attendance the landfill site will receive waste from as far as Belleville and encouraged the City of Ottawa to put restrictions on this. While the landfill will accept 300,000 to 400,000 tonnes of industrial, commercial and institutional waste annually, Langlois said the issue the community has is not related to the capacity or size of the landfill, but rather the fact the province does not appear to have strict guidelines on diversion rates for this type of waste. “It’s our reputation on the line,” she said. “We are going to be known as the city that has the biggest dumps.

We want the City of Ottawa to take a leadership role . . . those are the messages we wanted to convey.” According to their website, Taggart Miller says the primary focus of the proposed landfill is to divert waste

materials away from disposal, and to provide this in a facility the city currently doesn’t have. “This multi-million dollar green industrial development will provide eastern Ontario with a leading-edge diversion facility that addresses the

critical need for better recycling, composting and environmental stewardship,” states their website. They also report their project will insert an estimated $100 million over the life of the project, as well as increase municipal tax revenue, and

After the presentation, Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, who recently returned to city council, voiced his opposition to the proposed landfill, mainly due to the fact the province, he said, does not have any concrete standards for industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) waste. “I’m not a supporter of this project,” said Coun. Blais. “They have standards for municipal housing waste, but none for ICI waste. It just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.” The province, he said, has control over the management of this type of waste, and should have a recycling target of at least 60 per cent to avoid the need for a landfill. The project, which is in the environmental assessment approval process, would place significant risks on the surrounding area, states the coalition. We have real concerns the environment would be put at risk including negative impacts on local well water, surface water, air quality, protected wildlife/forested areas and agricultural areas,” the coalition states in a letter. “Of particular importance is the long-term adverse effects on the residents of three villages in close proximity to the proposed CRRRC, which would be Ottawa’s largest landfill.” The group also believes Taggart Miller has not fully addressed the issues or acknowledged the risks associated with developing on the site. “We believe that such a facility would be a serious mistake that the City of Ottawa cannot afford,” said the coalition.

EMC news - The seventhannual Girls Night Out in support of hospice services was a smashing success. More than 800 women attended the sold-out event in support of Friends of Hospice Ottawa. The soiree, held at Algonquin College on May 31, raised just under $90,000, with funds still being counted on June 4. “It’s amazing, I’m just so thrilled,” said Lisa Sullivan, executive director of Friends of Hospice. “Everyone is having fun.” Women of all ages enjoyed the evening’s festivities. Firefighters escorted everyone to their tables while entertainer George Thomas had ladies dancing on chairs, leading conga lines and vying for the bragging rights of “best table.” Linda Brown, a Richmond resident, attends the event every year with the other women in her family. “We have a really good time,” said Brown. “And it’s a good cause.” AWARENESS

The funds raised during Girls Night Out – a volunteerorganized event – will support the hospice’s operating costs, which account for about $1.7 million a year. “The awareness piece is really important,” said Sullivan, adding that without fundraisers, “We wouldn’t have the services we do.” Friends of Hospice Ottawa is a palliative care registered charity, serving residents of Kanata, Stittsville-Goulbourn, Nepean, West Carleton, Manotick and Kars. The hospice offers in-home,

The organization recently bought Trinity Presbyterian

Church on McCurdy Drive to help co-ordinate all its efforts under one roof. The sale closes in June. “We’re going to slowly start moving in,” said Sullivan. So far, around $1.6 million has been raised for the new hospice facility in south Kanata, but at least $6 million is needed

to complete the project, which will include a residential wing for hospice beds. “The support we get from all of you, I know we’re going to be able to do that,” said Sullivan. For more information or to donate online, visit friendsofhospiceottawa.ca.

Fresh market coming to Overbrook Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - A fresh food market is coming to the Overbrook community this summer. The market will be located on an empty city-owned lot at the corner of Lola Street and Presland Road and will offer patrons the option to purchase fresh produce and dried goods at below-average prices. Mehdi Louzouaz, the RideauRockcliffe Community Resource

Centre’s community developer, is organizing the first market day on June 15. “Sometimes it’s not just about accessibility, it’s very much about affordability too,” he said. There will be one market held each month. The other dates for Overbrook will be July 6 and August 24. The location, Louzouaz said, was chosen because it’s in an area of Overbrook the resource centre is looking to become better engaged

with. The food is purchased through the Good Food Box program, a non-profit organization run out of the Centretown Community Health Centre, which offers weekly produce boxes for $20, $15 or $10 depending on size. The money for the market was made available through the Community Development Framework funding. The volunteer-run markets were first launched as a pilot project last year in a few locations across the city, including Sandy Hill and Michele Heights. Louzouaz said the markets are aimed at being a community event to help neighbours connect with each other. Some of the markets offer activities for children, live music, and cooking demonstrations. “It’s a great opportunity to outMICHELLE NASH/METROLAND reach people.

Executive director of the RideauRockcliffe Community Resource Centre, Catherine Dubois said the market initiative is a wonderful project. “We take it for granted to access to healthy food, but some people don’t have access, or can’t afford to make healthy options,” Dubois said. “These markets make it easier for them to make those choices.” According to Louzouaz, the idea

of the market was born out of the poverty and hunger working group, which is made up members of the Coalition of Community Health and Resource Centres in the city. Even though there are multiple farmers’ markets in the city, the Good Food Markets bring low-cost produce to areas of the city where markets aren’t available.

Nepean-Barrhaven News EMC - Thursday, June 13, 2013

EMC lifestyle - Walking into the first of Bob Mitchell’s several sprawling greenhouses, the sweet, earthy smell of ripening tomatoes takes over your senses. For a brief moment, it’s just you and the fruit. You’re filled with a sense of hominess, of nostalgia for your grandmother, or the proud memory of the first vegetable you ever nurtured. When you come back to reality, you start to look around and you can hardly believe your eyes. Row upon row of leafy tomato plants climb toward the soft, filtered light coming in from above. The greenhouse seems to stretch on forever. Little technology gets in the way of nature’s beauty; the stems grow from plasticsheathed blocks of crushed coconut in raised troughs and are clipped to small rods above. Small pipes wind along the floor, masked by green tangles of sagging vines. Every so often a bumblebee lazes by, off to pollinate another plant or return to one of the hives placed throughout the greenhouse. Mitchell, the owner and founder of SunTech Greenhouses, on Doyle Road south of Manotick, somehow fits

into the greenhouse ecosystem, despite a brusque manner and a penchant for loud exclamations. The lifelong farmer moved to a dairy and cash crop farm south of Kenmore when he was six, which he farmed with his family until 1998. And then he entered a greenhouse for the first time in his life. “The smell, that was what hooked me,” he said. From that visit in September 1998, it took 11 months for Mitchell to buy the Doyle Road property, set up a greenhouse that covers a hectare, and plant 22,000 beefsteak tomato plants. “Just a starter kit,” Mitchell laughed. Today, the farm has 1.6 hectares of greenhouse facilities and produces 11 different commercial products. That includes several tomato varieties as well as eggplants, cucumbers, peppers and green beans. NATURE’S WAY

While SunTech certainly doesn’t profess to be organic or pesticide free, it makes use of what nature has to offer. A common greenhouse pest is the white fly, a tiny white bug that can multiply into the billions. As they drink the juices from the plants, they

excrete everywhere – and that can prevent the plants from getting the sunlight they need. But instead of spraying plants with chemicals, Mitchell brings in 40,000 encarsia formosa, a tiny parasitic wasp that lays its eggs in white fly eggs – essentially stopping the reproduction cycle. “You don’t pay them by the hour and they don’t miss,” Mitchell said. Bumblebees are another important part of the greenhouse ecosystem. Brought in from Windsor, Ont., Mitchell’s bees are relied upon to pollinate the tomatoes. The number of bees loose in the greenhouse directly correlates to the number of open flowers, Mitchell said. There are usually two or three bee stings a year, he said, but as the chief bee handler he has managed to escape a sting for nearly 14 years. Of course, the whole point of a greenhouse is to get around Mother Nature’s whims, and SunTech employs a complex computer system to monitor the indoor and outdoor temperatures and adjust the roof vents accordingly. The average daily temperature inside is about 19 degrees, Mitchell said, and they can harvest about 10 months of the year.

Get ready to go zip-zip-zip lining steve.newman@metroland.com

Florida, Costa Rica and Nicaragua are destinations for zip line enthusiasts. But you won’t have to travel that far for exhilarating zip line experiences, which are growing in popularity in North America. Ownership of Logos Land Resort, just outside Cobden, is hoping a signiďŹ cant investment in its new three-leg, zip line course will bring smiles and goose bumps to many more of its customers in coming years. Challenges Unlimited Inc. is completing construction and installation of a parallel zip line course over Astrolabe Lake this month. The course warms up nicely, with the ďŹ rst zip carrying visitors 201 metres across a small bay. Zip No. 2 runs 343 metres across the middle of the lake, before the ďŹ nal 401-metre leg returns buckled-in riders back above the water. The total ride is 3,100 feet, or almost one kilometre, at speeds of up to 35 km/h, usually six metres above the water, but sometimes closer to 25. Logos Land owner Jerrold Paxton’s business partner, Kevin Cahill, died last December, but not the dream to continue to improve on what Logos Land offers its customers. Facilities already in place include the water park, with its slide, splash pad, grill house, mini-golf, animal petting farm, beach and giant lake trampolines. There are also timeshare villas, motel suites, 90 recreational vehicle (RV) park and camp sites, rental RVs, 100 wilderness camp sites for trailers or tenters, and the neighbouring Oaks of Cobden golf course.

“We have four goals in mind,â€? says Logos Land director of marketing and sales Fred Glover. The ďŹ rst goal is to offer something, like the zip line course, that caters more to older youngsters. “We’ve made investments in recent years for the little kids, like the petting farm and the splash pad,â€? says Glover. “But for older kids, as families grow up, you don’t want them to hit the boredom curve.â€? The same philosophy applies to younger adults. The connection of the zip line for these potential customers also happens to coincide with the ideal weight for zip line passengers. The weight allowance runs from 75 to about 275 pounds. The second marketing goal, says Glover, is to expand Logos Land’s season, which for the longest time has been concentrated in July and August. “The zip line can be used year-round, but more practically it will certainly run in the summer, as well as in the spring and fall.â€? Logos Land has already experienced positives vibes about the new course. For example, response at the recent Ottawa RV Show, which attracts more than 20,000 visitors, was extremely positive. “Our big posters stopped them,â€? says Glover. “It surprised us, especially the positive verbal feedback from 40-, 50- and 60-year-olds. But we’ll see for sure this summer.â€? Glover acknowledges there’s another zip line, at Chutes Coulonge, while pointing out that Logos Land Resort aspires to become a growing part of multi-activity tourist packages in the area, thus Logos Land’s third

marketing goal. For example, there’s no reason tourists can’t zip over Astrolabe Lake, play golf rounds at a variety of courses in the area, see the Bonnechere Caves, zip some more in Chutes Coulonge and try some whitewater rafting or kayaking. Unlike Logos Land, Chutes Coulonge offers two zip lines of 100 and 260 metres over whitewater rapids and a shorter nine-zip series. As Glover says, “Every zip line you see is different.â€?

Five simple tips before hitting the road EMC lifestyle - Summer getaways are common indulgence in Canada and for the more than four-in-ďŹ ve of us who own, lease or ďŹ nance a vehicle, exploring the Great White North often begins with the push of a pedal. Whether your plans include cross-country road trips or a weekend exodus to the cottage, here are a few tips to keep your vehicle looking and running its best on the open road: s +EEP IT CLEAN 3TARTING A road trip with a clean car is a must, but be eco-responsible. Always look for products that are designed to be tough on grease, bugs, mud and carbon deposits, while still being safe for the environment. s #HECK YOUR WHEELS -AKE sure tires are road-trip ready. For better handling and mileage, swap winter tires for summer ones, or all-season types. Check the pressure of the tires before you take off by consulting the owner’s manual or on the side of the tire. Properly inated tires improve grip on the road and

save money at the pump. s 4OP UP mUIDS .O ONE wants to be stuck on the side of the highway. Having proper levels of windshield washer uid, engine oil, radiator coolant and brake uid can make or break a road trip. Check the owner’s manual for the recommended uid levels. Remember overďŹ lling your uids can do just as much damage as not ďŹ lling up enough. s 'ET RID OF THE SALT !S THE temperatures rise, so does the rate of corrosion and after a full-season of battling snow and slush, the chemicals used to clear roads can eat away at a car’s body. +EEP YOUR CAR LOOKING AND running its best by getting a professional rust protection at least once a year. s 4AKE IT TO AN EXPERT 3TAY safe and avoid unforeseen expenses by following your car’s recommended maintenance schedule. See a professional to give you the green light for long-distance travel. )34/#+0(/4/ #/- .%534/#+)-!'%3

Ottawa fans treated to top level rugby as Canada beats Fiji Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Fans packed Twin Elm Rugby Park on June 5 to see the Canadian rugby team take on Fiji. Rugby fans, and players competing in the high school boys provincial rugby championships, packed the stands to see the Pacific Cup match. And despite the massive size of the Fijian players, the Canadians pulled out a win in front of the hometown crowd, with a small 20-18 margin. Canadian team captain Phil Mack said the defence had to be prepared for Fiji to score from any point in the field because of their explosive power. But at the end of the day, the Canadians were more organized as a team on the field, prompting Fiji head coach Inoke Male to say his team needed to be more prepared next time. “We knew Fiji was going to play a wide open game and we needed to get our defence right to beat them,” Mack said. “We’ve done a lot of work as a team ... it paid off.” Rugby clubs in Ottawa had offered discount and group rugby tickets to their players, who were vocal throughout the game, leaving no doubt which was the home team. “When we really get tired out there and the crowd amps it, it just really gives us that extra boost,” Mack said.

“It’s something in Canada we’re not really used to.” It was the first time ever that Canada had beat Fiji at home. Rugby fans were happy to see Ottawa included on a stop, as it’s not often they get to see this level of 15-A-side rugby. The Barrhaven Scottish RFC has their 10 and under players do a rugby demonstration game at halftime. The under-10 players use flags like flag football instead of tackling. Carleton University player Mandy Musse said that games of this level help promote the sport in Ottawa and make people ask questions about both the rules, and how to get involved. “It’s amazing. I think it attracts people to the sport and creates a big buzz for Ottawa. It helps a lot,” said Musse, who also plays club level rugby in Ottawa. Prior to the game, the family of late Barrhaven Scottish player Rowan Stringer was welcomed. A moment of silence was held for the John McCrae teen, who died this spring following a head injury sustained in a rugby game. Minister of Sport Bal Gosal and Rugby Canada officials presented the Stringer family with a signed Canada jersey. The Canadian team were scheduled to play their next games in Kingston and Ireland.

Youth-led program stands up to bullying Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The federal government will fund the training of 2,400 youths from across Canada to deliver antibullying workshops. Each youth facilitator will commit to reaching another 20 young people in their communities to help prevent bullying and discrimination. The Canadian Red Cross will receive $250,000 from the federal government to continue its youth-led Stand

up to Bullying and Discrimination project. Canadian Heritage Minister James Moore announced the money for the program – which is expected to reach more than 50,000 Canadian youth – at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School in Glen Cairn on June 3 with Laureen Harper and Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley. Hubley’s late son Jamie attended A.Y. Jackson before taking his own life after being bullied for his sexual orientation, which had led to a

deep depression he couldn’t overcome. “Communities across this country, including this one, have been deeply affected by tragedies related to bullying, cyberbullying and intimidation. And there are far too many tragedies,â€? said Moore. “If we do nothing, it will lead to the death of children ‌ It can’t be said more plainly or more accurately than that.â€? Cyberbullying through social media is a reality many adults never had to face. “Our kids now face pres-

sures that really didn’t exist when I was growing up,� said Harper, who is married to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. “As parents it’s very hard to help our children because their experiences are so different than anything we had. “That’s very scary as a mother.�

between the age of 13 and 17.

nouncement today (are) what we need to be successful,� said Hubley. “Canadians, such as my family, have paid too high a price and (we need) meaningful progress before other families must carry the burden of losing someone special, like my boy Jamie, who only wanted a safer community for everyone. “With the help of the Red Cross and other frontline workers, we can create hope for a better day.� Hubley pledged to do “everything I can� to have at least one student from his ward receive the training, which is offered to students

CREATE HOPE

Three youth-led forums in the Atlantic region, Ontario and British Columbia will also reach out to 150 youth to step up and help put an end to bullying. “Actions like this an-

SUCCESS

“We cannot expect someone else to solve this issue for us. Success will take each of us doing our part,� he said. “By supporting young people to become leaders in their schools and communities through programs like this, we will create safer places and communities for everyone. Let’s join together and say it’s time to turn bullying on its head.� The funding is provided through the government’s Youth Take Charge program.

Science underscores benefits of the right fatty acids EMC news - Diets that include a specific type of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid play a role in positive brain health, studies show. A recent trial published online in PLOSONE Journal found that supplementation with 600 milligrams of DHA (sourced from algae) a day for 16 weeks, improved reading and behaviour in healthy school-aged children with low reading scores. The Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) Oxford Learning and Behaviour (DOLAB) trial is the first large, randomized and placebo-controlled study demonstrating the benefits of this nutrient in reading and behaviour among healthy school children. In an analysis of 224 children with baseline reading scores below the 20th percentile, algal DHA supplementation significantly improved reading. Reading was also significantly improved in the subgroup of 105 children with baseline reading scores below the 10th percentile. Reading performance was evaluated using

a standardized word reading test, The British Ability Scales (BAS II). When comparing reading ages, results from the DOLAB trial also found that supplementation with algal DHA led to an additional gain in reading age. Supplementation with 600 mg algal DHA for 16 weeks led to an additional 0.8 month gain in reading age in children with baseline readings scores below the 20th percentile. In addition, for children with baseline reading scores below the 10th percentile, algal DHA supplementation led to an additional 1.9 month gain in reading age. The results come at a time when many adults have limited to basic reading skills. According to Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, 48 percent of Canadians have low levels of literacy, pointing to the need for children to increase their reading performance at an early age.

Findlay Creek gymnast flying high michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - With one eye on future Olympic qualification, one young Ottawa gymnast continues to defy gravity and push his limits to reach the top of his potential. Samuel Zakuntey has been a gymnast since age four and began competing when he was 10. He said he’s been passionate about the sport since he started, saying it’s all about the moments he is flying before landing an exercise. “I guess I just like being in the air,” Samuel said. “It feels like you are soaring. “It feels like you are doing the impossible, that you are defying gravity.” The 14-year-old finished first in his age division on May 24 at the Canada Gymnastics Championships, held at Carleton University. Samuel credits his success to his determination to constantly improving his skills - something that comes from training six days a week for around four hours a day. Samuel’s coach, Oleksandr Zavadych said he sees

potential in his student, who picks him up from school and drives him to the gymnasium for practice. Samuel said the support he receives from his family, friends and coach has been integral to his training. “Without this support, I wouldn’t have the time to train,” Samuel said. The grueling schedule is made possible because the teen attends École secondaire catholique Franco-Cité, which Samuel said works around his training schedules, allowing him to leave early, or miss time because of competitions. The fight to the top is not easy, however, Samuel admits, and there are times when he feels left out at either school. “I don’t really have a social life, to be honest,” Samuel said. “Sometimes at school, other kids will be talking about a television show that I don’t know about, and I feel left out. It’s a pain to feel like that, but to know that I am doing what I love, it helps me feel like I am making the right choice.” Other times, he said he becomes his worst enemy, as he is in constant competition

pics. “Making it and representing my country would be amazing

to me,” Samuel said. Battling back from an injury, Samuel said this year has been hard. A strain in his biceps threatened to see him forfeit some of the competition, but with only days before the national competition he managed to bounce back and take the top spot in his division. “At times when I get scared, but instead of thinking about the risks, I think about the steps to get through it,” he said. Injuries make it difficult to perform trickier moves, but sometimes it taking risks are required to be successful in competitions. “Injuries are stressful,” he said. “All the time you are taking risks, risks of really hurting yourself, but also, at the same time, you are also making yourself stronger -that’s the important part.” Samuel said once summer rolls around, he will take a break from training and competing, but not a long one. “Taking a break is nice, I’m happy to relax but then I get antsy and want to get back to it as soon as I can.”

EMC news -Many of us take our shoes for granted. But for some people with health conditions, shoes can alter their whole way of life. Erin Kesler, a Canadian certified pedorthist from Hamilton, Ont. vividly remembers when a petite, 20-year-old patient with a club foot deformity arrived in her office wearing flip flops with a thin rubber sole. Despite having endured more than 15 surgeries and countless hours of physiotherapy, the fashion conscious patient was unwilling to wear orthopedic shoes. As a result, she was in constant pain and her mobility was severely hampered. “I wanted this patient to experience the relief a modified shoe could bring so we searched through many catalogues and found a white running shoe with pink accents that appealed to her personal style but could easily be modified to accommodate her foot deformity,” says Kesler. “I hid all of the modifications internally, or on the base of the shoe, including inserting wedges, arch supports and a widened sole. The final shoe looked like it had been purchased at a regular sports store even though it was jammed packed with orthopaedic goodies. My patient was thrilled with how the shoes looked and felt.” Modified shoes are necessary when foot conditions cannot be managed by orthotics and/or off-the-shelf footwear alone – and they can make a tremendous difference in a patient’s life, says Kesler. Common modifications include adding a lift to the sole of the shoe for a patient who has a leg length discrepancy to relieve stress from their pelvis and spine. Rocker soles, rounded bottoms of the shoe, are also frequently used to take stress off a fused ankle or arthritic joints or to off load an ulcer on the bottom of a diabetic patient’s foot.

The walk raised more than $240,000.

EMC news - All students are active thinkers by nature, but not all students know how to think actively when it comes to classroom learning or at-home studying. According to Oxford Learning’s CEO and founder, Dr. Nick Whitehead, this is because, like many other school skills (such as studying, organization, and focus) active thinking is a skill that students need to be shown how to use. “Active learning is not a skill restricted to the classroom. Children (and adults, too) should always be thinking about the world around them. In fact, the more that children develop this skill outside the classroom, the more they are able to apply it in class.” Dr. Whitehead outlines three simple steps for students to follow to practice their active thinking skills: • Before the activity, whether it’s doing a craft or sitting down in class, students should pause to try reflect on what they already know about what they are going to do. This primes the brain to get it ready learn something new. • During the activity students should ask themselves questions to draw connections or highlight details, like “What is this similar to?” • After the activity students can reflect on what they just learned. This can be done by creating summary notes. Students should attempt to draw similarities, no matter how random. Dr. Whitehead says that parents can encourage active thinking by prompting conversations about learning and by asking the right questions. Instead of asking, “how was school?”, more specific questions such as “how was math class?” or “what concepts did you learn today?” are more helpful.

Arrival of an ice box was like Christmas time

U

ntil that fateful day in the middle of summer, Mother had no choice but to keep the perishables on a swinging shelf in the dug-out under the house. It was a dank and frightening place and could only be entered from the outside. There was no trap-door in the kitchen like Aunt Bertha had on the next farm, only two big doors tilted against the house that had to be lifted to gain entry. It was a place I hated with a passion and Mother too never quite got used to putting butter and milk on the swinging shelf. Blocks of ice were put in big tubs down in the dugout in the hope that what Mother put down there would be kept chilled enough that we all wouldn’t die from food poisoning. Of course when the ice melted, the big tubs had to be hauled up and emptied, a job for my big strapping brothers. But it was Grandfather who changed all that one day when he came out from Ottawa and ordered Father

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories to hitch up the wagon and head into Renfrew. Of course, Grandfather had no intention of riding all the way into Renfrew sitting on a rickety seat on a wagon. He drove ahead in his rumble seat car, telling Father where to meet him. Everett went with Father to help. The purpose of his trip into town was to buy Mother a brand new Barnett ice box. “Uncivilized! That’s what it is!� he said time and again on his regular visits to the farm and when one of us kids was sent down into the dug-out to bring up milk or butter or anything else that Mother hoped would keep fresh long enough so that we could eat it. We always had had an ice house and it was always full of blocks of ice, but never

Ottawa Needs You!

until that wonderful day, did we have an ice box to put the blocks in. Mother spent the entire morning trying to come up with a decent place to put the ice box in the kitchen. It had to be well away from the Findlay Oval, of course, and it couldn’t sit in the window looking out into the grape arbour -- that’s where the old pine table sat and where we had our meals. Finally, without even knowing what it would look like or what size it was, Mother decided it would go kittycorner next to the little room off the kitchen that served as Mother and Father’s bedroom. So that place was scrubbed by Audrey, wiped dry, and newspapers laid out covering the entire corner. For reasons unknown to

me at the time, Mother made all of us change from play clothes into our next-to-Sunday best -- was it because we were getting an ice box or was it because Grandfather would be there for a visit? At any rate, we were spit-clean when Grandfather drove back into the yard and said the new ice box would be here as soon as Father could get back from Renfrew. Mother, in a clean Dan River dress and a fresh white apron, sat on the back stoop waiting for its arrival, with Audrey and I perched on the pump stoop. Grandfather brought out a kitchen chair to the yard. He wouldn’t sit on anything that wasn’t spotlessly clean in case he got a mark on his white annel pants. It was like we were waiting for the Queen to arrive. Then we saw the wagon round the corner at the far end of the lane and as it got closer we could see Everett standing with his arms wrapped around what looked like a casket standing on its end. Father pulled the wagon

up close to the kitchen door. “My oh my,� Mother said, not even waiting until it was loaded off onto the ground, she leaned into the wagon and rubbed her hands all over the new ice box like it was made of gold. OFF THE WAGON

It took the three brothers and Father to lift it off the wagon, with Grandfather telling them to be careful and not scratch it. It was shiny wood, the colour of caramel candy, with silver handles, and I thought was grand enough that it could easily have sat in the parlour. Without even being told, Everett tore to the ice house, and using the big black iron tongs, hauled a block of ice into the house. It was beastly hot in the kitchen with the Findlay Oval pumping out heat and I secretly wondered if the ice box would cool off the whole house. Emerson swung open the little door on the side, and Everett plopped in the block of ice. Audrey and I were sent

down to the dugout for all the perishables and Mother arranged it all in the ice box like she was laying out blocks for a quilt. Grandfather had thought of everything. While in Renfrew he bought an exact duplicate of our white granite dish pan and he slid it under the ice box to catch the drip. We sat around the ice box on kitchen chairs, as if waiting for it to tell us something. It sure looked mighty nice in the corner and I could tell Mother was as proud as if someone had bought her a new car. What a change the new ice box brought to our old log house. Now we had it as well as a telephone, thanks to Uncle Lou. Emerson wondered what we had to do to get running water, and I longed for the day we could just push up a switch and a light would go on just like at my little friend Joyce’s house. Sadly, water from a tap and light from a bulb were not to be. Both would have to wait until the day we left the farm many years later.

Strawberry honey lassi a health, refreshing drink EMC lifestyle - A creamy refreshing, cleansing drink that is a version of the Indian yogurt and fruit drink, called lassi. It can be a nice finish to a spicy hot meal or an interesting drink idea if serving a slightly spicy meal. A lassi is of great importance in the Indian diet, because it contains fat, protein, lactose, calcium and phosphorus. It has been said in Indian literature that regular consumption of lassi drinks reduces the chances of your hair going white before it is time. Preparation time: 10 minutes. Serves: six. Makes 1.5 litres (six cups). INGREDIENTS

Seniors on Site gives back to the elderly for Seniors Month Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - An Ottawa company is taking its mandate to assist seniors one step further. Seniors on Site has helped Ottawa seniors with daily living needs for the past five years, is donating $5 from each new client to three key service providers: the Eastern Ontario Resource Centre, Good Companions and Rural Ottawa South Support Services. Seniors on Site employs experienced independent contractors, all over the age of 50, to meet the support needs of its clients, whether for transportation, companionship, housework and all the other things required for independent living. “We work closely with the resource centres of Ottawa and surrounding areas and it makes perfect sense for us to be able to give back to these facilities, which do such a phenomenal job helping everyone in the community,” said Caroline Inman, client services manager for SOS. “For many, getting assistance from the centres is a lifeline and not everyone is in a posi-

tion to be able to afford private agencies. We are very proud to support their independent efforts in helping seniors and families, and hope this can be the start of a great initiative on our part to continue to give back.” Inman said that all support agencies struggle to get the most care to clients that their funding and fundraising can provide; as a result, there are many referrals made to other providers. In this mutually respectful environment, companies like SOS naturally want to help their comrades. In the five years SOS has been inexistence, they have helped more than 200 families and individuals meet their specific needs. People can access their services on an as-needed basis, whether it is for a single ride to a doctor’s appointment, or care and companionship on an ongoing basis. Inman said SOS’s first ever client, a 92-yearold woman, is still on their client list. June is Seniors Month in the province of Ontario. More information on this initiative can be found at sosonsite.com or by calling 613-4227676.

Break bad habits for a better lifestyle EMC news - Bad habits tend to accumulate like drops in a bucket. They are the little things we do daily that add up and ultimately impact our overall health and wellbeing. To reveal bad habits that are common today, and how to turn them around to make positive changes in our lives, Dr. Janet Tamo, a consulting dentist for Crest and OralB, plus fitness expert, Kathleen Trotter, met recently to share their thoughts. “Inactivity throughout the day is one of the habits I see most often,” said Trotter. “Many people drive to work, search for the closest parking spot to the entrance door or sit in front of the TV for hours after sitting behind a desk all day. There are so many quick and easy ways to integrate activity into your day without sacrificing valuable time with family and friends.” Trotter recommends integrating exercise into your routine with these examples: • Bike to work instead of driving. • If it’s safe to do so, park at the end of the parking lot and walk. • Opt to take the stairs instead of the elevator. If it’s too much, get off the elevator early and walk at least one flight. • Do some resistance exercises with an exercise band or exercise ball while watching TV. • Schedule and commit to weekly walking dates with your family or a friend. Dr. Tamo echoes this advice when discussing oral health habits with her patients. “There are a lot of factors that contribute to having a healthy body, including exercising and eating right, but many people don’t realize that taking care of their teeth and gums can be just as important,” she said.

Hosted by the Community Activities Group, the Main Event will begin with a movie night in Springhurst Park on June 14 followed up by a garage sale and community party on June 15. This year the event will also feature a volunteer ceremony. “The Main Event is a celebration of our great neighbours and neighbourhood.

The volunteer celebration will take place on the main stage at 12:15 p.m. The Sandy Hill Community Health Centre and the activities group will cohost the movie night, featuring Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, on June 14 at 9 p.m. The garage sale will begin on Saturday at 10 a.m. and will run alongside the Main Farmers’ Market on the lawn of Saint Paul University. Live music from Stan Clark’s Capital Swing Band, a barbecue, arts and craft sale and free wagon rides will run throughout the day. Family-fun activities will include a

bouncy castle, balloon twister and an obstacle course. Executive director of the group, Carol Workun said this event is what kicks off summer for the community. “It’s the biggest fun day of the year, everyone should come out,” Workun said.

PET OF THE WEEK My name is Nikou and I am a 4lb 5oz, 13 year old Abyssinian. I was adopted from the Cornwall SPCA at one year old and live very happily in Ottawa. I am very personable, love everyone who comes to the house, and run when I hear the doorbell to greet guests. Everyone who visits wants to take me to their house but of course my family will not allow it. The only thing I do not greet is other cats or dogs, on my property.

a warm, snuggly lap to curl into for some love and attention. Freckles would love an owner who knows that she has an affinity for wand toys and toys on strings, what would be even better is if you would take some time to play with her daily! Meet Finnegan (A150704), a very special 13-year-old, neteured male, brown tabby, Domestic Shorthair cat who is in foster care due to recurrent upper respiratory tract infection while here at our shelter. Finnegan was surrendered to the shelter by

his owner on November 2, 2012 and is ready to find his permanent family. He is a lovely gentleman with great house manners. You can often find him spending time with people, curled next to them on the couch, or snoozing in a sunbeam. Finnegan takes some time to warm up to people, but with time has started to figure out that humans make for great friends, as they usually give into his charm and offer ear scratches. Finnegan has even learned that the foster family’s cat and dog are okay too! Finnegan is a “Special Needs” adoption as there is the slight possibility that he will suffer from a chronic low grade cold that may require ongoing medical management. We encourage you to discuss Finnegan’s special needs with your family veterinarian so that together you can help him live a happy, healthy life. If you are interested in finding out more about Gus, Wiz or the other pets available for adoption from the Ottawa Humane Society, visit www.ottawahumane.ca , call the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or e-mail adoptions@ottawahumane.ca.

Do you know where your cat is? What may be desired is not necessarily the safest... Even though cats may love to have the freedom of running around outside, so too would dogs whose freedom we strictly control. In fact, small children would relish the opportunity to roam freely all day, with little or no regard for their safety. In today’s world this freedom is just not possible. Society has established many rules for our protection. We wouldn’t think of allowing our small children to go outside alone where they are exposed to many dangers, yet many cat owners readily open the door for feline friends to go out unsupervised not knowing if they will return the same day, the next day, or ever. Are you a good neighbour? Another factor to consider, besides your cat’s safety, is your cat’s effect on the environment and the nuisance he or she might unwittingly create for neighbours. Cat fights are noisy and offensive; unneutered cats breed indiscriminately; their spraying and feces are pollutants; they get into garbage; ruin gardens; cause car accidents; cause damage to a car’s paint

FRECKLES Meet Freckles, (A118662). She is a patient and loving three-year-old, spayed female, torbi and white, Domstic Shorthair cat waiting for her forever home. While Freckles has been at the shelter since December 31, 2012, she is still hopeful that she will grab a special someone’s attention. Freckles spent some time in Foster Care and got along great with the gentle cat she shared a house with, but would rather not have to live with a dog. This special girl is looking for

job; spread diseases; kill wildlife; and in some cases, inflict wounds on people and other animals. Is this freedom? Outdoor cats are not free. They fight a daily battle for survival against exposure to the elements, accidents, disease, poison, abuse and fights with other animals, theft or loss. On average an outdoor cat lives approximately three years while the lifespan of a cat that has been kept indoors (and supervised while outdoors) is approximately 15 years. The OHS recommends that you keep your feline companion on a harness or under supervision when outside. Have a microchip implanted in your animal as a precaution against loss. A microchip will supply your pet with identification that lasts a lifetime. Harness training is a safe way to allow your cat to experience the pleasures of the great outdoors. To learn more about how to harness train your cat, visit the Companion Animal Tips section on our website, www.ottawahumane.ca. Ensure your cat’s safety. Your feline companion and your neighbours will thank you for your effort!

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly!

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa launches third annual Tribuddy program to help train underprivileged children in swimming, cycling and running On May 7, 2013, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa (BBBSO) launched the third annual Tribuddy program which matches youth between the ages of 8 and 14 with volunteer adult triathletes to help train in swimming, cycling and running. Since 2011, BBBSO has matched more than 30 underprivileged youth with adult triathletes and this year, Tribuddy has 16 matches, up from 11 in 2012. “We are very proud of the difference we have made in the lives of the youth involved in our program. Our adult buddies have also benefited from the program and in most cases have continued their participation,” says Gerry Thauvette, founder of the Tribuddy program. The goal of BBBSO’s Tribuddy program is to foster a positive and fun triathlon learning experience, and inspire youth to become active. “The best part of this program is being able to have fun and enjoy doing something,” says Mackenzie Prince, a third-year Tribuddy youth. “I won my first ever medal last year in the mountain biking category, but my favourite part is running.” The Tribuddy program’s success wouldn’t be possible without the support of local sponsors including Bushtukah, Mizuno and Zoot, as well as the help from volunteers. But, BBBSO is still short on supplies. To help the 16 participating children, BBBSO needs to raise $3,600 or receive the necessary gear, including bicycles, helmets, running shoes, and running clothes. If you’re interested in donating equipment, or would like more information about the Tribuddy program, please contact Jennifer Mitchell at 613-247-4776 ext. 317 or jennifer.mitchell@ bigbrothersbigsisters.ca. If you’d like to donate money to help the Tribuddy program, you can text Bigottawa to 45678 to make a $10.00 donation or donate online at www.bbbso.ca. R0012140642
