Hospital opens new wing, dialysis centre Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Terry Lavergne will get back 10 days a year thanks to the new satellite dialysis centre at the Queensway Carleton Hospital on Aug. 30. Lavergne, who lives in Woodlawn, has travelled to the General Hospital to receive treatments for more than 20 years. Treatments for patients in need of dialysis are performed three times a week for three to five hours. “When you need dialysis your life changes,” Lavergne said. “You have to work your job, your family life around the treatments.” Coming to the QCH will save him more than an hour of See COSTS on page 2 travel time per treatment, and

up to four hours per week. “It might not seem like much but it’s time I can spend with my family,” Lavergne said. The first patients were scheduled to visit the new satellite dialysis centre on Sept. 4. “It’s all about the patients,” Tom Schonberg, president and CEO of the QCH said. “When we hear from them it really hits home the importance of what we do.” The hospital’s new fourstorey tower on the west side of the campus is part of a $126-million expansion. James Gary Beach, the tower’s namesake, donated $5 million to the hospital’s fundraising campaign. Beach said the hospital

EMC news – Ontario’s auditor general will review plans to scrap the Slots at Racetracks program and built urban casinos after Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod successfully carried a motion through the assembly on Aug. 30. Members from all three political parties supported MacLeod’s private member’s motion asking for a review of Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s new gaming and casino plans that would pull slots out of racetracks and build private casinos closer to urban centres. The plan would save $345 million, which McGuinty’s Liberals say can be better spent on health care and education. The Progressive Conservative MPP asked the auditor general to assess the armsreach organization’s revenue and expenditure projections for the plans, as well as the mental health and addictions impact and the potential effect on Ontario’s horse racing industry. MacLeod said cancelling the Slots at Racetracks program would chop 60,000 rural jobs, including up to 1,000 in Ottawa if the Rideau Carleton Raceway in her riding is to close. “The OLG needs to be accountable for those job losses, especially in this economy,” said MacLeod in a statement. “From a rural aspect, it is clear that there will be catastrophic consequences with the cancellation of the Slots at Racetracks program - costing jobs and devastating some agri businesses.” MacLeod also asked the legislature to confirm a municipal referendum will take place before any new casinos are built.

Moffat Farm residents met to talk about the formation of a Neighbourhood Watch.

Patient care a priority: President

Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean Rideau Heritage Route – OfďŹ cial Opening I recently had the pleasure of joining Mayor Jim Watson, Councillor Scott Moffatt, and Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association President Jason Kelly, to ofďŹ cially open the Rideau Heritage Route at a sign unveiling at A.Y. Jackson Park in historic Manotick.

Continued from front

The route will follow the Rideau Canal through South Ottawa, Osgoode, Manotick, Barrhaven, and into the downtown core to help to further share the route’s unique heritage and promote tourism and local businesses with easy access to many important local destinations along the way. This initiative is expected to boost economic development in South Ottawa by increasing the opportunity to beneďŹ t from the more than 8 million tourists who visit the City each year. For more information on the route and the association please visit: www.rideauheritageroute.ca.

The City of Ottawa has a program which allows residents to recycle scrap metal at the Trail Road Waste Facility, where residents can bring clean, scrap metals and the City accepts the metals free of charge and sells them to local scrap-metal dealers. Residents commonly drop off old appliances such as stoves, dishwashers, washers, dryers, and bedrails; though any other clean metal product is accepted. In 2010, the City of Ottawa generated a total of $42,000 in revenue from the program. In 2011, due to a rise in market prices, the City was able to more than double their revenue to a total of $93,000, while receiving less tonnage. As City Council prepares for the draft 2013 City Budget, it is worth exploring whether the program can be expanded to generate additional revenue for the City. Nominations for Ottawa Immigrant Entrepreneur Awards The City of Ottawa will present its ďŹ rst annual Ottawa Immigrant Entrepreneur Awards early this fall. Nominations for local immigrant entrepreneurs should be submitted to entrepreneur@ottawa.ca no later than September 14, 2012. For more information, please contact: 613-580-2424, ext. 16663 Chapman Mills Drive- TrafďŹ c Safety I am pleased to advise that the City will be extending the current School Speed Zone on Chapman Mills Drive to LongďŹ elds Drive in order to include both ĂŠcole ĂŠlĂŠmentaire J.R. Gauthier and the future Chapman Mills Public School. As well, as a result of a recent on-site meeting to ďŹ nd a temporary solution for the intersection concerns along Chapman Mills Drive, the City will install cautionary signage on Chapman Mills Drive approaching Beatrice Drive to inform motorists of the trafďŹ c conďŹ guration at this intersection. They will also use pavement markings to narrow the trafďŹ c lanes, deďŹ ne stop bars, and identify the center line on Beatrice Drive. These temporary measures will be implemented in the coming weeks to help create greater awareness and illustrate how trafďŹ c should ow. The proposed permanent changes planned for this intersection will be presented by city ofďŹ cials at the Barrhaven Fall Open House on September 18th, and once ďŹ nalized and approved by city ofďŹ cials, could begin construction in 2013 with budget approval.

City flips on decision about Woodroffe lot Council decided against fighting intensification Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

SUBMITTED

Council overturned it’s planning committee’s advice to reject a rezoning proposal, pictured above, that would allow seven homes to replace one house on Woodroffe Avenue. ferent because of the context of the neighbourhood, which includes single family homes behind the property. “I think at (planning) committee there were a number of people who heard from Coun. Taylor and felt sympathy for him personally,” Hume said. The unusually deep 1,423square metre property between Georgina Drive and Highway 417 created a planning quandary for city staff and the developer, a numbered company. In the end, the developer refused to budge from its plan to replace one home with two semi-detached buildings containing four units and a threeunit row of townhomes. The city’s planning staff “reluctantly supported” the rezoning because it met good planning principles and that was enough to make it difficult for the city to fight at the OMB.

Hume wasn’t the only councillor who expressed surprise at the planning committee’s rejection of the intensification proposal. “It’s a committee that has devoted itself to intensification,” said Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess. “If you’re not going to get your intensification on your main arterials, where are you going to go for it?” He said it was an opportunity for the city to show its commitment to such principles. “This is your litmus test,” Bloess said. “Are you willing to stick by that decision or are you going to abdicate your responsibility?” Gary Sealey, chair of the zoning committee for the Federation of Citizens’ Associations, a group representing community associations from across the city, said at the time that the planning committee’s decision was “a very good step

against random spot zoning across the city.” “There is a choice of people over mindless development here. The councillors are hearing that,” Sealey said after the planning committee’s decision. Hume agreed that councillors also dislike spot rezonings and the upcoming Official Plan review will look to reduce or eliminate the perceived need to spot rezone. Streets in transition, such as Woodroffe Avenue and Heron Road, will get special attention. “We heard at committee that (communities) don’t like spot rezoning,” Hume said. “Neither do we, because they are time consuming; they are expensive. What we do know is that when you do things comprehensively, there may not be acceptance, but … it’s permitted.”

EMC news - In a rare move, city council overturned it’s planning committee’s advice to reject a rezoning that would allow seven homes to replace one house on Woodroffe Avenue. The intensification proposal simply wasn’t worth spending upwards of $20,000 for the city to fight it at the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), where the plan for 396 Woodroffe Ave. was sure to end up if it was rejected as planning committee wished. “I can’t seem to find a point of planning principle on this issue that convinces me that we should spend money at the OMB,” said planning committee chairman Peter Hume, who implored his council colleagues to overturn his committee’s decision and allow the rezoning. “If we’re going to fight, we need to fight on a good one and this is a marginal one at best,” Hume said. Council members followed his wishes, voting 15-8 in support of the rezoning. The area’s councillor, Mark Taylor, continued his opposition to the planned-unit development by voting against the rezoning, despite his expressed support for the city’s intensification policies. “You can be a supporter of infill and still know when it’s being done improperly,” Taylor said, adding his colleagues should use a “gut test” to determine if the proposal feels right. While he has voted in favour of much denser rezonings in the past, Taylor said 396 Woodroffe Ave. was dif-

ADVERTORIAL

STOP the Destructive Mission of a Cigarette Butt Josée Adam, Project Officer

I am a cigarette butt and my mission in life is to cause mass destruction. Yes, I am like an evil superhero, a menace to society. I pride myself for being almost indestructible - I am not biodegradable, so I never really break down and die. I am also made up of harmful chemicals, making me a threat to children, wildlife and the environment. One of my favourite pass-times is to prey on the vulnerable. Toddlers and young children are curious and innocent, so I can easily fool them. For example, the other day, a 16 month-old girl was playing

in a park sand box and noticed me on the ground. She was curious about what I might be and she picked me up and put me in her mouth expecting a surprise. A surprise she did get, but not the one she wanted. She started to choke and her parents had to take her to the hospital. On the way there, the little girl was vomiting, lethargic and gagging because the poisonous material that I am made of was making her sick. She is only one of many who fall prey to my devious nature. My intention is not only to directly

cause harm to toddlers and young children, but I also love to surf the major waterways while contaminating the water with my super-toxic chemicals like lead, arsenic and cadmium. Yes, more than 200,000 of me were collected as part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Clean in 2010. My surfing activity leads fish to believe I am bait and they swallow me. Birds pick me up and bring me to their babies as food or use me as toxic nest-building material. Aha! I again succeed at spreading destruction wherever I go. All this is to say that I am a public nuisance and cities pay a lot of money to try and get rid of me. For example, the City of Ottawa spends $5.5 million dollars every year cleaning litter – including cigarette butts like me – from roads and parks. I am planning to continue my destructive journey and I dare YOU to try and stop my negative health, environmental and financial impacts. Are you up for the challenge? ..................................................... Cigarette butt litter is an important issue that must be addressed. What can you DO to stop its destructive mission?

• Put the evil butts in their place, where they belong: the butt box or a portable ashtray. • Dispose of fully extinguished matches and partially smoked cigarettes as well as lighters and packaging in the garbage bins. DON’T: • Put butts in storm drains • Throw them out of a car window since it can start a wildfire. • Bring them to places where children and toddlers play – parks, beaches and sports fields - or to natural environments that are contaminated by their presence. The fight against their destruction doesn’t end there. The ultimate action you can take is to reduce the numbers of cigarette butts in your community. This requires you to be a superhero in your own right, and to take courageous steps to quit smoking if you are a smoker or to encourage your friends to quit smoking. If you need help butting out, please visit ottawa.ca/ quitsmoking or call the Ottawa Public Health Information Line at 613-5806744 (TTY: 613-580-9656).

Students caught in labour battle crossfire

P

lease, won’t someone think of the children? Ontario’s government and teachers’ unions don’t seem to be. The cash-strapped Ontario government and several of the province’s teachers unions are embroiled in a battle over proposed legislation to force a wage freeze on elementary and high school teachers. The unions say they are willing to accept a wage freeze, but call the government’s bill unconstitutional

and a violation of workers’ rights. The bill, titled Putting Students First, also calls for teachers to take a 1.5 per cent pay cut in the form of three unpaid professional development days and elimination of banked sick days. Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty insists these measures are necessary to maintain jobs and continue to roll out the full-day kindergarten program across Ontario. Meanwhile, a growing

number of teachers, angry over what they call heavyhanded legislation, are threatening to withdraw voluntary services, such as coaching teams and directing plays after school. The media also has reports of teachers who are considering removing class educational materials they have purchased out of their own pocket. Both the government and the teachers say they are fighting for students’ education.

We beg to differ. The Ontario government’s bill was created to balance the books – and preserve Dalton McGuinty’s legacy as the “education premier.� The teachers are simply trying to preserve their collective bargaining rights. But the kids are getting caught in the middle. If teachers individually choose not to volunteer after school, that could mean fewer extra-curricular activities available for students.

Our children should not be used as a collective bargaining chip. Premier McGuinty, for his part, should keep in mind that teachers freely volunteer their time to provide extracurricular activities for students. The dispute almost seems a little silly, as both sides have agreed a wage freeze is necessary, at least for the short-term. It’s ridiculous that both sides are engaged in what amounts to last-minute

negotiations. A deal should have been worked out months ago. Instead of ironing out a deal, it seems both sides have engaged in a little game of Russian roulette. Unfortunately, it’s the province’s children who will end up the ultimate losers in their little game. Both sides need to abandon their public posturing, and focus instead on working out a deal that addresses the concerns of both sides.

eflecting back on the summer just passed, it is possible to conclude that there is something changeless about summer life in Canada – the lakes, the loons, the summer breezes, the sounds of the birds, the roar of the motorboats, the quiet two-lane roads, the trailers in front of you on the two-lane roads, the grilled cheese sandwich beside the highway. There’s good and bad in it, but it hasn’t changed much in decades. Sure the cottages are bigger, the toys are faster and louder and a simple lifestyle that once was common is now regarded as primitive. But can it really stay the same? The time spent at cottages and on the highway this summer makes me wonder. For this was the summer of Wi-Fi, the first of many. In the remotest parts of Northern Ontario, the smallest motels offered Wi-Fi on their signs along the highway. Wi-Fi or some other forms of connectivity were in evidence on devices brought to the cottage. Connectivity was everywhere. Getting away from it all was nowhere. Which is different, because the cottage used to be the one place that was unconnected. Sure, there might be a phone, but nobody used it much. Even the telemarketers didn’t seem to know the number. As for email, it was a distant dream, or nightmare, depending on how you viewed it. This was frustrating for some people, not so for others. The others were perfectly content to find out what was going on in

the city when they got back to the city. They could live without the latest news, the latest blogs. But for some it was frustrating to be out of touch. And you could tell, this summer, by how often they sat with their devices, the phones and iPads and laptops, looking at newly-connected screens. The fact is that for most of us connectedness is no longer an option. People expect us to be online and answer immediately. We open emails with the expectations we used to have about opening the mail. Something good might be there: the Queen wants to meet you, a previously unknown rich uncle has died and left you millions, someone wants to film your life story. Not being able to have access to this news has been a drag. Now the drag is gone and we can stay in the real world – as if life in the city is somehow more real than life beside the lake. Will Wi-Fi spoil the summer experience? Not for those rare individuals who can take it or leave it, who can spend days without looking at a screen and only check their email once a week. But it will definitely be spoiled for those who hoped to spend a few weeks free of people reading them funny items found on the Internet. On the other hand, the absence of connectedness makes some people difficult to live with. They are antsy, irritable, always charging off to the library or the nearest coffee shop to check emails, even if the nearest one is a boat ride away plus many kilometres on the highway. Now that they can check their emails on the dock they will be easier to live with. And when you have a family argument about some arcane movie trivia you can refer it to Google, thus heading off hours of debate. Maybe you can even find the instructions for the chainsaw. You take your small blessings where you can.

The value of boredom BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse How do I know where their natural talents lie? What parent doesn’t stay up nights wondering if their child has the potential to become the next Olympian or classic concert pianist? And besides, I don’t want them to get bored, right? But my husband and I long ago resolved that we won’t fall into the trap of over-scheduling our lives. This means that every September, I must resist my natural instinct to be “a joiner.” This is no easy feat. For me, the seasonal flip through the City of Ottawa Recreation Guide is equivalent to being an ex-smoker in a cigar lounge.

But despite my natural tendency to want to entertain the kids, to expose them to new experiences and sign them up for an activity every night of the week -- I have resolved to let them whine upside down on the couch and be “bored” once in a while. At first, it bothered me a bit. But as I observed the children more closely, I started to recognize the value of boredom, something which is highly underrated in modern society. Providing the television is off and the computer out of reach, the moments of inactivity force my children to come up with ideas to amuse themselves. Innumerable minutes of

whining, followed by mom saying “find something to do” force the kids to find solutions within themselves: read a book, shoot some hoops in the driveway, put on an impromptu play on the stair landing, or (and I swear I’m not making this up), make their beds. (Okay, the last one only happened once, but the fact that this minor miracle has occurred means it forever remains a possibility). We’ve managed to whittle down our scheduled activity to one art, one sport, one on a weeknight, one on a weekend. The City of Ottawa Recreation Guide was subsequently relegated to the recycling bin, and it’s my intention to resist the urge to satiate my children’s after school boredom with electronic entertainment. Now it’s time to sit for me to sit back and see what sort of genius emerges as a result.

New cervical cancer screening guidelines for Ontario Women

EMC news - Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) has announced updated cervical cancer screening (Pap test) guidelines which outline the right age for women to screen and the time interval between tests. In Ontario, cervical cancer screening is now recommended starting at age 21 and every three years until age 70 for all women who are or ever have been sexually active. Screening is not recommended for women under the age of 21. “Regular screening every three years starting at age 21 can detect changes that might lead to cancer,” says Dr. Linda Rabeneck, CCO vice-president of prevention and cancer

y children are nothing if not ambitious – that’s when they’re not hanging upside down on the couch, staring at the ceiling and whining “I’m bored” repeatedly, of course. Every September, as the nights get colder, the mornings get darker, and we awake to the sound of the big yellow school bus, these incidents become more frequent. And the children, like me, start to think about joining things. This year, their demand list has included swimming, soccer, guitar, piano, drama group, Mandarin, Spanish, ice skating, downhill skiing, basketball, tennis, canoeing, and visual arts. Admittedly, the idea of signing them up for activities eight days a week is appealing. There are so many activities I’d love them to try while they’re young. How do I know which activity will create a little spark in their little brains?

Student has rewarding summer as camp counsellor Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC community - Carlington teen Marwan Saeed needed a summer job, so he looked to the Youth Services Bureau’s summer youth employment program for help. At 16 years old, Saeed was able to land his first summer job as a counsellor working with children at the Alexander Community Centre in Carlington. “I enjoyed the job,” said Saeed, who is starting Grade 10 at Merivale High School this fall. Saeed was able to land the job at a place where he used to volunteer. On Aug. 29, he celebrated with other teens who took part in the summer program at a gathering that took place at the Jim Durrell Centre. “A lot of my friends come from the YSB,” Saeed said, adding he wasn’t nervous the day before having to say a speech at the celebration. Last year, the program gave 240 Ottawa youth, ages 15 to 18, their first summer jobs. They took part in pre-employment workshops before starting paid six-week work placements in fields such as recreation, business and youth leadership. It was the first job for all the youth placed, and the first time they received their own

Marwan Saeed spent his summer working at the Alexander Community Centre in Carlington thanks to the Youth Services Bureau. paycheques. Saeed said it was important for him to work with children. “I learned how to communicate with kids,” he said, adding as part of his job he was also able to coach a basketball team. “I learned leadership skills. I wanted to be a role model.”

Saeed said that growing up, his parents were role models to him and he hopes to someday become a teacher and work with children. He said his advice to other young people seeking employment is to have a positive attitude and to take the job seriously. “Don’t be shy,” Saeed said.

“It’s rewarding in the end.” Now that the summer is over, Saeed said he wants to thank the Youth Services Bureau and the Alexander Community Centre for the experience. “It feels good,” he said. “It went by quick.” His boss was Earl Jones, who has been working with

the program for six years, matching up YSB students, and often hiring several to stay on. “Every year I have two or three that shine, they turn around and become role models,” he said to the YSB students graduating from the summer program. “Don’t ever say to yourself, I’m too young.

A lot of employers look for a shining student.” Courtney Bennett, 16, was excited to have had the chance to work in an office environment during the summer. She worked in the office at the Computer Sciences Corporation in Kanata for the six weeks, and while she doesn’t plan to work in the high-technology field – she is shooting for a PhD in social sciences – she found the experience beneficial. A Grade 12 student at the Achievement Centre at Algonquin College, she worked with filing, data entry and human resources. “It’s not something you usually get to do at my age,” she said. “Being in the office, it’s nice to get a paycheque and put some aside for postsecondary.” Courtney said her job allowed her to be independent, adding that she did spend some of the money – buying hair dye, and tickets to movies with her friends. “It will definitely help me with jobs, because everyone wants someone with work experience,” she said, adding she will try and work in an office environment again while in university. “We all got these chances that are going to give us more than our first job.” For more information on the Youth Services Bureau, visit www.ysb.on.ca.

EMC news - The O-Train will be off the rails for the entire summer of 2013. The temporary 18-week shutdown is part of a $59-million project to add two passing tracks and six new trains to increase service frequency on the busy north-south rail line. When the upgrades are complete and service resumes on Sept. 3, 2013, O-Train service will have increased to every eight minutes from 15 minutes.

The increase in service will help reduce transit congestion when the city’s east-west Light Rail Transit (LRT) line is under construction beginning next year. The increase in service will help reduce transit congestion when the city’s east-west Light Rail Transit (LRT) line is under construction beginning next year. OC Transpo will offer a replacement bus service while the O-Train is shut down from April 27 to Sept. 2, 2013;

A $59-million project to increase service on the O-Train line will mean the rail transit will have to be temporarily shut down for all of summer 2013. however, the city has not decided how frequently shuttles would run. The bus service will be included in the 2013 budget to be debated this fall and OC Transpo passengers will be informed of the changes when the temporary shutdown draws closer, said transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans. The downtime will coincide with the lighter summer term for Carleton University – the most significant destina-

tion on the O-Train line. The work also aligns with other planned O-Train-related construction: upgrades to the Rideau River bridge, the Carleton University pedestrian pathway and Sawmill Creek Bridges, the Dow’s Lake tunnel and Highway 417 overpass retaining walls. The information was revealed in a memo to city councillors this week in advance of a request for proposal for the construction work.

An “experiment” that begin in 2001, the O-Train has now reached capacity on some trips. At first only about 5,100 to 6,400 people were taking the train each day, but ridership has soared to 12,000 trips daily. People have taken more than 16 million trips on the train since it launched. Adding six trains and two passing tracks is expected to give the O-Train line another 20 years of life.

one or two items: clubs, hoop, ball or ribbon. Athletes can also work without apparatuses. Sokol said choreography is a big component to the routines. “We always work with music,” she said. The students enrolled in competitive programs with Pirouette always work within a team as well as individually. “That way we don’t have any divas,” Sokol said. The club is like a family, with some of the members making the trek out to Barrhaven from Crystal Beach and Bells Corners. “I know how the kids are doing in school, the names of their brothers and sisters and what the family makeup is,” Sokol said. The club’s open house is set for Sept. 12 at 6:30 p.m. For more information on the programs and the open house visit http://www. ottawapirouetterg.org.

EMC sports – Now that summer camp has ended for the Pirouette Rhythmic Gymnastics club, gymnasts and their coaches are looking forward to the regular season. The club, started by former competitive gymnast Eva Sokol in the 90s, has recreational programs starting at six or seven years of age to all levels of competitions. The summer camp, held at Pierre Elliot Trudeau French Catholic elementary school, had gymnasts from aged five and up. The styles and skill levels vary from the beginner to the advanced.

Eva Sokol has been involved in gymnastics for nearly 30 years, both with competing herself and teaching others the skills of the trade. She said she started with the idea of Pirouette at her kitchen table after the national gymnastic association she worked for had lost their funding. “I was OK with it. I wanted to get back into the sport,” she said. At first Sokol would host workshops and lessons throughout Nepean and parts of Barrhaven. Then in 2001, the group

found a permanent home in the French Catholic school on Longfields Drive. They also do some classes over at St. Joseph Catholic High School because the ceilings are higher, which is needed for some of the routines. A Trillium grant last year helped to pay for a special gymnast mat, which prevents rug burn, as the students roll around working on routines. Sokol said the mats can cost anywhere from $12,000 to $15,000. And the girls work hard. At summer camp more than one student had holes in her toes shoes caused by rolling around on the mat doing routines. The sport entails individuals or teams of two or more manipulating

Mayor’s Report

BUDGET 2013: HAVE YOUR SAY By Jim Watson

http://www.JimWatsonOttawa.ca

In our ďŹ rst two years, City Council delivered ON OUR COMMITMENT TO KEEPING TAX INCREASES below 2.5 per cent, and in the upcoming 2013 budget we will do the same. This allows us to continue to invest in our communities, our infrastructure, our transit system and our families in a ďŹ scally responsible manner. Budget 2013 will be tabled on October 24, which means that between now and then I am looking for your input. I am going to be speaking with families and businesses, and consulting with Councillors and staff, on how WE CAN CONTINUE TO KEEP TAXES UNDER CONTROL while protecting the services residents EXPECT This is a collaborative effort and I value the constructive input I receive each year during the budget consultation process. Last year, I heard consistently from residents that our roads, sidewalks and other INFRASTRUCTURE WERE NOT UP TO PAR &ROM THIS feedback came the creation of the Ottawa on the Move program. We took bold action with a $340-million investment over three years to improve our transportation network for drivers, transit users, cyclists and pedestrians. You can relay your budget ideas by e-mail to budget2013@ottawa.ca and on Twitter using the hashtag #ottbudget. There will also be in-person budget consultations held across Ottawa in late October, which I encourage you to attend. It is important that residents are engaged in this process and I will be doing all that I can to ensure that your voices are heard. It is also important that we receive speciďŹ c suggestions on how to save money. 7E DELIVERED ON OUR TAX COMMITMENT IN 2011 and 2012 and I look forward to doing it again in 2013 with the help and insight from residents.

The city took an axe to its citizen advisory committee structure on Aug. 30 in an effort to save money and make citizen input more streamlined.

City’s citizen advisory groups are slashed from 15 to five Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – Twenty-three people lined up to give city councillors their swan song for advisory committees on Aug. 30. After it was all over, the city’s governance renewal subcommittee and finance committee had slashed the number of official citizen advisory groups from 15 to five. The move also shifted The Ottawa Built Heritage Advisory Committee from an advisory group to a subcommittee of planning committee mostly comprised of councillors, and a seniors’ group will become an annual round table event instead. The changes are aimed at saving $190,000 annually. Glebe resident Bob Brocklebank likened the restructuring to a “mercy killing.â€? The city has allowed the advisory committees to wither and become irrelevant, making the act of killing them simply the final stage, Brocklebank said. “Put advisory committees out of their misery,â€? he said. Patrick Quealey, former chairman of the environmental advisory committee, agreed, saying that the groups have been treated “disrespectfully and shabbilyâ€? by the city. “At a time when people are disengaging ‌ these people

want to participate. That should be valued,� Quealey added. Many of the 23 delegates who spoke to the committee on Aug. 30 agreed it was time for some changes to advisory committees. In 2011, 48 advisory committee meetings were cancelled due to lack of quorum, and most were cancelled at the last moment, which is administratively expensive for the city. Many things have changed since the city amalgamated in 2001, when the advisory committees were established. Access to technology and the availability of social media tools are changing how residents interact with the city and politicians. Other engagement strategies such as summits and departmental working groups have proven more successful as well, according to a report from the city clerk’s office. Representatives from the Federation of Citizens’ Associations were disappointed that the advisory committee restructuring wasn’t presented in a context of a broader citizen engagement strategy, something that won’t happen until December. “This kind of sounds like a bureaucratic triumph over common sense,� said Don Stewart of the FCA. The mandates of the five new advisory committees will

be: accessibility; arts, culture, heritage and recreation; community services; environmental stewardship; and French language services. They will officially meet quarterly, but each group can call additional informal meetings. While some topics like poverty and diversity will no longer have a dedicated advisory group, the function of many of the advisory committees will be absorbed in other ways. The transit commission and health board both now have citizen members who can represent residents on those topics, the city’s report states and business groups are to be represented by Invest Ottawa (formerly OCRI). Rural issues have a forum during the open mike sessions at agriculture and rural affairs committee meetings. The Ottawa Built Heritage Advisory Committee will evolve from a citizen group into a subcommittee of planning committee, with representation from three citizen experts and four city councillors. That was a point of contention amongst heritage advocates, who told the committee that the unbalanced representation would eliminate the group’s effectiveness. “Ottawa is proposing to become an anomaly of heritage in Ontario,� said Leslie Maitland, president of Heritage

Ottawa. The built heritage committee used to have council members on its roster, but they asked to be removed, Maitland pointed out. But planning committee chairman Peter Hume argued the change would create “advocates� for heritage issues on city council. “Right now, there are no council advocates around the table for heritage,� he said, adding that more time spent on heritage issues alongside experts would give built heritage subcommittee councillor members the ammunition and expertise they need to defend heritage issues to their council colleagues. A more formal structure will help the city attract the kind of citizen experts it wants to see on the committee, Hume said, referencing the problems the city has had in recruiting built heritage committee candidates. Maitland took exception to that. A four-time published author with 35 years of experience in architectural heritage, she applied two years ago and never received a response. While the advisory committee structure did need an overhaul, the city missed the mark on the built heritage committee, Maitland said. “You’re trying to fix something that isn’t broken,� she said.

Basketball player gives back to homeland Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news – Danilo Velasquez loves his adopted country and it’s that love that motivates to give back to those in need. Velasquez, who wrote a film while studying at Algonquin College called Promise Land, recently returned from Nicaragua where he brought uniforms, basketballs and whistles to youth in need. “People always talk about America like it’s the promise land, but there are so many opportunities in Canada. We are so lucky,” Velasquez said. “So I want to give something back.” Velasquez, now 45, came to Canada in 1988, at that time just a kid himself. In Nicaraugua he played for the national basketball team and said the sport saved his life. “We didn’t have time to get into drugs or crime, we were always playing basketball,” he said. That is why when he went home to visit his mother and grandmother that Velasquez teamed up with Unibalon – an organization in the Central American country that promotes basketball as a way to keep children away from crime. Months before he made his trip he connected with Ontario Basketball, The Steve Nash

Foundation and Ron Foxcroft Foundation. Ron Foxcroft is the Canadian inventor of the world-wide known Fox 40 whistles. Ontario Basketball donated basketballs, the Steve Nash Foundation donated 30 jerseys and Ron Foxcroft donated 25 whistles for referees.

During Velasquez’s visit he had the chance to give the players their jerseys himself during the Central American International Basketball Tournament. “It was great to see their faces when they got the jerseys,” he said. “A lot of parents can’t afford for their kids to play in a league because they can’t even afford a white shirt to paint a number on.” It wasn’t the first time Velasquez had returned to his homeland bearing gifts. In February 2009 he went with his then seven-yearold daughter Jahnessa. They

nity of Nagarote. Velasquez also gave basketballs donated by Ontario Basketball. “I wanted my daughter to be a part of handing out the items to the children so she could see how lucky she is,” he said. Velasquez said he plans to make another trip to Nicaraugua in December, partly to connect with family and partly because he was contacted by a teacher in a small mountain community who asked him to bring soccer, basket and volleyballs. “As long as I can help I want to,” he said.

Danilo Velasquez returned from a trip to Nicaragua on Aug. 21. He brought basketball uniforms, balls and whistles to promote the sport in his home country.

Lansdowne Conservancy legal bid goes belly up Supreme Court appeal ‘exceedingly unlikely’: city lawyer Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The beleaguered Lansdowne Park redevelopment project cleared one of its last legal hurdles last week when the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed a request for appeal from the Lansdowne Park Conservancy on Aug. 28. The decision effectively shut down that legal challenge against the $300-million project and allows work to move ahead on the project. The only remaining option for the Conservancy would be a request to appeal to the Supreme Court within 60 days – a move city solicitor Rick O’Connor said in a memo to council would be “exceedingly difficult.� The legal challenge brought by Glebe resident John Martin’s Conservancy group was dismissed as an abuse of process by Ontario divisional court on March 23. Between that decision and the most recent rejection by the Court of Appeal, Martin and the Conservancy have been ordered to pay $11,000 to the City of Ottawa in legal costs. In a statement sent on

Aug. 29, Martin wrote that it is unfortunate a competive procurement process for the Lansdowne redevelopment has been “sidelined.� “There is more than sufficient time for the City of Ottawa to conduct a competitive bidding process and develop this public asset in a manner respectful of the heritage and public nature of the site,� Martin wrote. “The choice is now up to our elected officials.� The Conservancy case is the second legal challenge to the project to be rejected by the courts. The Friends of Lansdowne spent $600,000 taking their fight to a threejudge panel at the Ontario Superior Court. On April 30, the panel agreed that the city’s partnership with the OSEG doesn’t constitute an illegal subsidy for a private business, rejecting the Friends of Lansdowne’s legal appeal of the project. The Friends announced on June 14 that they would not take their case to the Supreme Court. City council will still need to give final authorization for Lansdowne contracts after two months have passed, once there is no longer any threat of legal action.

Parliamentary expert tapped as integrity commissioner Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – A veteran expert of Parliament Hill integrity issues has arrived to oversee ethics at city hall. The city announced on Aug. 29 that River Ward resident Robert Marleau, a former clerk of the House of Commons and former federal information commissioner, has been appointed as Ottawa’s first integrity commissioner. Marleau said he was interested in the job because everything was not predetermined and he could have input on the development of things like the council code of conduct. The city’s level-headed approach to integrity issues impressed him, Marleau said. “Many other governments and public institutions do this under duress because of a crisis of sorts,” Marleau said. As a citizen of Ottawa and someone who is well-versed in ethics and integrity issues, Marleau said he felt the role was both important and a good fit for him. A graduate of the University of Ottawa, Marleau served as the interim federal privacy commissioner after 13 years as the House clerk. He was the information commissioner for Canada for more than two years before abruptly resigning in 2007.

The new integrity commissioner said he sees his role

independent, above-the-fray, non-political advisor, and conduct themselves accordingly,” Marleau said, adding, “it would be up to councillors to resolve those issues themselves.” His greatest challenge will be getting to know the politicians and senior staff at city

hall, Marleau said. “I’m very familiar with the elected official, but this is a different environment,” he said. “I have a learning curve.” Marleau’s work will include developing a code of conduct for members of city council, as well as any related

policies, such as an expense policy and gifts registry. He will also produce an annual report summarizing complaints, investigations and advice to the city and suggestions for improvements that could be made to the accountability policies he will oversee. But Marleau’s first job will be managing the new lobbyist registry that goes into effect Sept. 1. The online tool lobbyists will use to register is “excellent, simple and intuitive,” Marleau said. Now the next step will be developing materials for both city politicians and lobbyists so they know what is expected of them. While Marleau said he takes his direction from city council, he said it would be very difficult for him to accept anything less than complete independence. Ottawa is the latest city to jump on the integrity bandwagon, Marleau said. “I think there is a trend in government in North America right now, in all levels, to be a lot more transparent,” Marleau said. Technology makes it difficult for governments to hide anything, he said, so it makes sense to be proactive. “They may as well be clear with the citizen, and they may as well inform them,” he said.

Back to school with a lesson in road safety Canadian Automobile Association

Drivers are reminded they must come to a complete stop when approaching a school bus that has its upper lights flashing.

EMC news - With school buses about to return to roadways across the province as thousands of students get ready to head back to the classroom, the Canadian Automobile Association of northern and eastern Ontario is reminding motorists to study up on road safety. Regardless of where your daily commute takes you, under Ontario law motorists travelling in both directions must come to a complete stop when approaching a school bus that has its upper red lights flashing. Failure to stop for a school bus can be a costly decision. For a first offense, drivers face a fine between $400 and $2,000 and the loss of six demerit points from their licence. Each subsequent offence brings fines ranging from $1,000 to $4,000, as well as six demerit points and the

possibility of serving up to six months in jail. Motorists are also reminded that roadways in a designated school zone have a speed limit of 40 kilometres per hour. Drivers who exceed this

Proposed riding changes affect Nepean-Carleton John Carter John.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – Proposed changes to Canada’s federal ridings would move some Nepean residents into a new riding. The Ontario Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission, one of 10 set up across the country, has proposed 15 more electoral districts for Ontario, including one new one in the Ottawa area, to bring the province’s total to 121. The changes will be the subject of public hearings this fall, including a two-day session in Ottawa’s Hampton Inn and Conference Centre Nov. 5-6, both starting at 10 a.m. The commission is looking at creating a Nepean riding wich would be carved out of the northwest part of the current Nepean-Carleton riding and would include the neighbourhoods of Barrhaven, Bells Corners and West Hunt Club. The riding’s MP Pierre Poilievre declined to comment about the proposed change. CARLETON-KANATA

The commission is also considering creating a Carleton-Kanata riding. The proposed changes would see West Carleton split from Mississippi Mills with a Carleton-Kanata riding replacing the current Carleton-Mis-

sissippi Mills. The Pakenham and Almonte area would move back into a Lanark-based riding. CarletonKanata would also lose an area east of March Road. The far-flung Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington riding would become LanarkHastings-Frontenac, gaining a large rural area stretching from Bancroft to Stirling (Hastings), but losing its southern extension into Napanee and Odessa (Lennox and Addington). There has been a move in Lanark to make the riding more manageable size-wise and bring Mississippi Mills back into the fold. The increase in Ontario ridings is based on a rise in the province’s population from 11.4 million in 2001 to almost 12.9 million in the 2011 census. The proposed new electoral districts would be located mostly in the Greater Toronto area with additions in Brampton (two), Durham (two), Markham (two), Mississauga, Oakville, Toronto (two) and York. The other four would be in Ottawa, Simcoe, Hamilton and Cambridge. As well, despite a slight population decline, the commission has maintained 10 electoral districts in northern Ontario as a minimum for its effective representation. “Population shifts and increases, efforts to honour ex-

isting municipal boundaries whenever possible, and the establishment of 15 new electoral districts have required substantial adjustment to Ontario’s electoral map,” said Justice George Valin, chair of the three-member commission. Douglas Colbourne and Leslie Pal are the other members of the commission responsible for readjusting the province’s federal electoral boundaries. Under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, the commission’s main aim in redrawing boundaries is to divide the province into electoral districts as close to the average population as reasonably possible. The population of a district should remain within 25 per cent of the average once consideration is given to communities of interest or identity, and historical and geographic factors. A commission can depart from the 25 per cent guideline to deal with extraordinary circumstances. The commission makes final decisions about where the electoral boundaries will be located after consultation, giving the public and MPs an opportunity to express their views and participate in the process. To consult the proposal online, visit www.federal-redistribution.ca; to obtain a copy, call the commission at 1-855747-7224 (toll-free).

Barbecue raises money for local food banks Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Members of the Nepean Lawn Bowls Club take advantage of the new surface on Aug. 17.

Nepean Lawn Bowls Club gets new surface Nepean Lawn Bowls Club

Nepean Lawn Bowls Club and the City of Ottawa installed a new state-of-the-art artificial lawn bowling surface at the Nepean Sportsplex. This installation will bring World Class standards of lawn bowling excellence to Ottawa. The new bowling green showcases the growing demand for artificial sports playing fields. The rising costs of maintenance plus restriction on use of chemical sprays on natural playing fields, make manufactured playing surfac-

es very attractive. Lawn Bowling is a Sport for Life and a recognized competitive sport at National and International levels. Nepean Lawn Bowls Club has been notified by the Ontario Lawn Bowling Association that the Club has been chosen to host the Provincial Mixed Pairs Competition in 2013. NLBC is the only lawn bowling club in Eastern Ontario playing on an artificial green. “The new surface will be an improvement on the existing twenty three year old turf”, says Gerry LaPorte,

Provincial Lawn Bowling Champion, Canadian National Lawn Bowling medalist and the Club’s Coach. “Players will have the opportunity to display their bowling prowess on a consistently true drawing green.” This community project is made possible through partnership with the City of Ottawa and through the receipt of a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, an agency of the Government of Ontario, which augmented funds raised by Nepean Lawn Bowls Club for this purpose.

EMC news - The parking lot near Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod’s Barrhaven office was packed with revellers on Aug. 21 as residents gathered to raise money for local food banks. The effort, which also included a welcome home dance for organ donor advocate Hélène Campbell, managed to raise 2,268 kilograms of food and $1,000 in monetary donations to be distributed to the Barrhaven Food Cupboard, the Manotick Outreach, the Osgoode Emergency Food Cupboard and the North Gower and District Outreach Food Bank. The food collected is enough to feed 500 families MacLeod said. The Barrhaven Lions Club contributed their train for the event and the Sequoia Church provided the snow cones. MacLeod said the event went through 1,200 burgers and 800 ears of corn. Ken Lee, who is a long-time volunteer with the Barrhaven Food Cupboard, said in early August that the charity had seen a dramatic increase in demand this summer.

Kayla Maduk, who represented Canada and competed in the ITF Taekwondo World Championships held in New Zealand, March 2011, showcased her skills at a barbecue held by Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod to raise money and donations for local food cupboards on Aug. 21. Requests for food jumped by nearly 30 per cent in June and July over the same period last year. And while he said the donations have increased marginally it simply wasn’t enough. Since the organization issued a plea for help, local service organizations and politi-

cians have stepped in to try and help fill the gap. Ross’ Your Independent Grocer matched donations to the food cupboard over the August long weekend and Dave Voisey of the Barrhaven Lions has said his organization will be asking for donations at an upcoming fun day.

Barrhaven Music Academy makes Music for Brynn Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - Ashley Martyn, the owner of Barrhaven Music Academy, is playing music for an old friend. Martyn is planning an outdoor concert and fundraiser called Music 4 Brynn to raise money for her pal Brynn McLennan. McLennan was diagnosed with a condition called fasio acapulo humeral muscular dystrophy after nearly a year of questions. She started to get tired and her right shoulder blade began to extend. What she didn’t know was that the disease that was making her tired was also destroying the muscles that held her shoulder in place. The disease destroys the protein in the muscles, eventually causing them to scar over and become useless. Symptoms can range from one eye being slightly open in sleep to being forced to use a wheelchair. In McLennan’s case, a lot of damage has been done to her lower back and hips. She has a very distinctive walk that mimics that of a very pregnant woman. Life was a constant struggle to use her energy wisely to ensure minor physical tasks didn’t completely ex-

Twice a year, McLennan travels to the United States for a treatment using placenta stem cells that help her to outrun the advance of the disease. She attends a clinic in Santa Monica, CA twice yearly, where they use AdiStem – a technology from Australia that uses liposuction to remove dead, atrophied cells and replace them. But the procedure is quite invasive, with 200 needles placed

into each muscle group, and it costs $20,000. McLennan said she needs help if she wants to continue the treatments. Music 4 Brynn will take place on Sept. 22 at 2900 Woodroffe Ave. in Barrhaven. Students and staff of the music academy will perform. There will also be silent auctions and refreshments. Guest speakers include Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, MP Pierre Poilievre and Deputy Mayor Steve Desroches. “We are really excited,” Martyn said.

Police to focus on school zone safety, following too close

SUNDAY Sept

Ottawa Police Service

EMC news - The City of Ottawa’s Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) is targeting drivers who follow too close and school zone safety this month as part of its ongoing commitment to keeping Ottawa’s roads safe. Between 2007 and 2011, following too close was the cause of 24,500 traffic collisions, 6,900 injuries and eight fatalities. Between 2007 and 2011, there were 41 collisions in schools zones throughout the city resulting in nine injuries.

NEW LOCATION

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

passing a stopped school bus with its upper red lights flashing in order to lay charges against the vehicle owner. Citizens who witness such occurrences can contact the police and provide the make, model, and colour of vehicle, the license plate number, location, date and time of the incident, and, if possible, a description of the driver.

Residents urged to have fuse panels inspected Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley is urging residents to have old fuse panels properly inspected after a small fire at his Glen Cairn home last month. The home is older and still uses an old fuse system instead of breakers, Hubley said. Over time, the wires became loose, which started the fire. “I had a carbon monoxide detector next to where the panel was but it didn’t go off or anything because the power went off,” he said. The fire detector also

wasn’t activated because there wasn’t enough smoke to set it off, Hubley added. Instead, the councillor was alerted to the fire because a ceiling fan stopped rotating. “The power went down so I started checking and I noticed the smell,” said Hubley. The PVC in the wires burns, causing a noticeable smell and possible health hazards such as illness, nausea and headache. Hubley said it’s a good idea to choose smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that use batteries as back-up power in the event a fire takes out a home’s power system. “Make sure that you’re

not just relying on electrical ones,” he said. Hubley said his family were fortunate because the fire was contained to the fuse box and didn’t have a chance to spread before the fire department showed up. “A crew came over from the Eagleson fire station. They were here really, really fast,” said Hubley. “The old panels are made of much stronger steel than what’s used today so it was able to contain the fire instead of letting it spread into the walls.” Fire department spokesperson Marc Messier said if the fire department finds electri-

cal inefficiencies when conducting a home inspection, they suggest people have an electrician complete an inspection. “(For ) anybody who buys an older home … with an older panel, (hiring) an electrician to do an inspection is not a bad idea,” said Messier. A call into the Electrical Safety Authority was not returned as of press time. “A lot of the homes in Kanata south, the older homes especially, are still on the old fuse system,” said Hubley. “It’s always good advice for residents with old panels to get somebody to inspect them once a year.”

Public asked to join search for swifts The Ottawa Stewardship Council, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and Bird Studies Canada have partnered to learn more about the declines and their causes in Ottawa. The group is looking for help pinpointing chimney swift nesting locations in the City’s urban core, and its rural villages and hamlets. Over the next few weeks, keep an eye on the sky, and on chimneys. If you happen to see or hear swifts, especially near sundown, look for an open chimney (no cap) in the vicinity, and note the address. If you have a few minutes, wait and see whether any birds enter the chimney. If they do, please report it online at www.surveymonkey. com/s/OntarioSwiftWatch or

Back to School Workout Tips for Parents With the kids going back to school, it is a great time to get back into the swing of your workout routine. Summer can be a busy time with kids out of school, vacations, and so much to do! You need to get back into a fitness routine before the holidays. Plan Ahead to Stick to an Exercise Routine It is important that you are prepared for your workouts. If not, you will find it easy to skip it. The first step is to take a look at your schedule and see where you can squeeze those workouts into your day. Schedule workouts as you would any other important activity. You can also slip in physical activity throughout the day. Be creative! Take a walk during your child’s music lesson. Take the stairs instead of the elevator at work. Pedal a stationary bike or do strength training exercises with resistance bands while watching TV. By choosing a time to work out, you’ll be more likely to stick to your workout program. Use Fast Effective Workouts

SUBMITTED

The public has been asked to keep an eye out for chimney swifts. email OntarioSwiftWatch@ birdscanada.org. “Whether you see a single chimney swift or several of them entering a chimney, it is important that we know about that chimney,” says Kristyn Richardson of Bird Studies Canada. “There are thousands of sites that have yet to be dis-

covered.” For more information about swifts, how to look for them, and how to help them, visit our website at www. birdscanada.org/research/ speciesatrisk/chsw or our Ontario SwiftWatch Facebook page at www.fb.com/ ontarioswift.

No one wants to work out for hours on end. Be sure to get the most out of your workouts by using circuit training, compound movements, and interval training, which will all help you save time in the long run. Find Something You Enjoy If you pick a form of exercise and you hate it, chances are you won’t stick it. If you find an activity you enjoy you’ll be a little more excited about working up a sweat. There are plenty of options to get in cardio such as biking, swimming, or taking a fitness class. Try a moderate walk of 30 minutes or so, maybe on the way home from picking the kids up from school and stop at the playground. Just getting on your bike can do the trick; you can work on your endurance while enjoying beautiful scenery. Natural sports are accessible and are a great opportunity to share quality time. Check in your basement or garage and find the football, basketball or frisbee and throw it around with family or friends. It’s a quick activity that will leave you feeling great.

Going back to the basics makes exercising easy, accessible and most important, fun! Mix it up, try something new, or go back to something you used to do. But do it and do it often! Remember, any workout is better than the one that didn’t happen!

EMC news - As their name suggests, chimney swifts make their homes in chimneys in urban neighbourhoods throughout Ontario. Chimney swifts are experiencing steep declines across their North American range. Bird Studies Canada and its partners are looking for volunteers to help search for nesting locations. The chimney swift is a small, sooty-coloured bird that can be observed in most urban areas, flying overhead in quick, jerky movements, making a high-pitched chittering call. Unfortunately, this bird is federally and provincially designated as a threatened species. Chimney swift numbers have declined by over 90 per cent over the last four decades.

Country singers come to aid of local farmers Benefit concert to raise money for area drought-stricken farmers Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Pull out some cowboy boots, put on a Stetson and get down to the Ottawa Baseball Stadium where a benefit concert featuring six Canadian country music acts is set to take the stage on Sept. 16. The Ottawa Stadium Group announced the concert on Aug. 28, which will raise money to help drought-stricken Ottawaarea farmers. Among the performers at the day-long concert will be local country crooner Gail Gavin. Hailing from the Ottawa valley area, Gavin’s close friends and neighbours are farmers and she said she jumped at the chance to take part. “The foundation of the Ottawa valley is the farmers, what would we do without them?” Gavin said. “My heart goes out to them and I had to help.” Famous for her tunes about the valley, the singer promised her show would include the Farmer’s Song and sing-alongs for the audience. “It is going to be fun, toetapping and a real celebration

of what the Ottawa valley is,” Gavin said. The Ottawa Stadium Group has partnered with DNA Presents, which recently ran the Escapade Music Festival at the stadium, to help organize the day. Profits of the concert will benefit farmers purchasing seed for the 2013 crop. “With so many of our local farmers struggling, hosting a country benefit concert was a natural fit,” said Don Foley, chairman of the Ottawa Stadium Group “Ottawa Stadium Group is truly thrilled to be able to help Ottawa’s farmers, while enjoying some of Canada’s best country musicians. This benefit concert will satisfy the Ottawa Valley’s love for country and help local farmers - it’s truly a win-win situation.” Gavin said she hopes this concert is only the beginning of help for the farmers. She even applauds the urban location. “We have them (benefits) in the valley, but this is a way for the city folk to come and help out,” Gavin said. “The cause is worthy and it affects all of us, you don’t have to live on a farm to be affected it has

A new way to fundraise Company pays schools to send in old phones Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - A recycling company is aiming to make fundraising easier for school communities this year. CellCycle.ca is cellphone recycling company that pays non-profits, individuals and companies money for sending in their old phones and wireless devices. The company has already helped a number of schools across the country raise money by collecting and recycling old phones. “There was one in London, Ont., just back in May, that collected 300 BlackBerrys,” said Pat Hebert, founder of CellCycle.ca. “We gave them $10,000.” He said after reading the Metroland Special Report, Fundraising Fever, published in June, he wanted to let people know there is an alternative to the traditional fundraising events. “I was reading your article and I do realize how tough it is for non profits to raise money right now. There is definitely donor fatigue going on,” said Hebert. “There’s lots of chocolate bars and cookies and all sorts of things that aren’t so good for us. There seems to be an absence of things that are totally free for a non-profit to do. “It’s really sad that parents are being saddled with this.” CellCycle.ca, which is based in Barrie, Ont., works by buying phones through the mail. “That phone sitting in the closet might still be worth something,” said Hebert, adding the company pays for the postage. “These are waste products really, but they have end of life value or they have reuse value.” The company also sells used phones and wireless devices.

PAT HEBERT condition, raising $10,000 for the food program. “That was an inner-city school,” said Hebert. “It’s a very poor area of London. It’s good for people to realize there are alternatives.” Hebert said he’s also helped schools in Nova Scotia, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. One school in Calgary raised $6,000 by sending in old phones. “It’s weird how you get known in other parts of the

country before you get known at home,” said Hebert, who started CellCycle.ca in 2009 after being laid off from an electronic recycling company. He was in charge of analyzing the waste streams and realized that “Cellphones were one of those things that had a lot of residual value at the end of life.” The company generally collects around 10,000 phones a year, which they test to see how well it works and wipe all the data. “I’m hoping that we continue to grow this to the point that we’re helping lots of people,” said Hebert. “This is good for the environment, this is good for the schools or nonprofits…it’s good for students themselves to see that just because they’re done with it the item itself isn’t worthless. I just hope it continues and that we’re able to help a lot of people with it.”

Tamise academy French elementary school located in London, Ont. was looking to raise funds for its Food for Kids program, which helped about 15 families in the school community every week. One of the teachers “would have backpacks filled up with food every Friday with non perishables and send them home with students,” said Hebert. The school contacted him about raising funds by recycling old phones. The school collected 300 BlackBerrys that were in good

Dear Neighbours, I am pleased to say my team and I have been busy delivering my yearly newsletter throughout Bay Ward. In the yer are highlights of our many accomplishments together and details on the numerous activities and endeavours we made over the past year in ofďŹ ce. If you have not received your copy yet, don’t worry, we will continue our delivery over the coming weeks.

MOVIE IN THE PARK

MATT SHUMSKY

Return of the Redskins The Nepean Redskins were back on the field in a game against the Kanata Nights on Aug. 24 at the Bob Stephen Football Field. The Redskins lost 48-6.

I, along with the Michele Heights Community House, were happy to welcome local residents to our 1st Annual Movie in the Park. Hundreds of residents came out to enjoy the family classic: Madagascar. Everyone was treated to popcorn and drinks. It was a lovely evening to spend with family and friends. If you were with us, we thank you for joining and we hope you had fun. We are already planning for next year.

RENEWING BAY WARD Keeping our community in good shape is important to you and to me. That is why I acted immediately to respond to neighbourhood concerns in Queensway Terrace North about a rundown property on Maplewood Avenue. After being abandoned for years, and dozens of acts of vandalism, this property had become a source of problems for the neighbouring residents. My ofďŹ ce worked closely with the developer and I successfully put forward a special motion at Committee and Council to demolish the building on that property. Soon, a new home will be built on the site for a new Bay Ward family.

GEORGE C. BROWN PARK SPLASH PAD I was proud to host the ofďŹ cial opening of the Splash Pad in George C. Brown Park in the Whitehaven Community. This was a joint effort between the Province of Ontario and the City of Ottawa. Joining me was MPP Bob Chiarelli and Mayor Jim Watson. It was wonderful to see so many families come out on the morning of August 9, when we turned the water on for the ďŹ rst time. The children were having a blast and were treated to freezees and music as they played. In the years to come, I’m sure the Splash Pad will serve as a focal point in the community.

LOOKING AHEAD In our ongoing effort to ensure strong community input in the Britannia Park Renewal plans, we will be conducting consultations with local community and user groups this month. In the months to come we will be hosting our second public open house and invite you to keep in touch with our ofďŹ ce to learn how you can provide your guidance on renewing this amazing community space. I would like to take this time to wish all the children returning to school a safe and happy year ahead and remind all drivers to once again be extra cautious and slow down in school zones.

"UUFOUJPO BACK-to-SCHOOL 'BMM 3FHJTUSBUJPO How to recognize if your child has a vision problem

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

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

months, three years of age and prior to entering the first grade. But even if kids have passed previous eye examinations at each of those benchmarks, it’s best to take them for another exam the moment a vision problem is suspected.

Is myopia preventable? Since it is often inherited, myopia is not preventable. However, treatment can significantly minimize its effects. Children who appear to be struggling to see distant objects clearly should be taken for an eye exam. That exam may include an eye pressure measurement; a refraction test, which is used to determine a correct prescription for eyeglasses; a retinal examination and a visual acuity test, which measures sharpness of vision at close and far distances. When a child is diagnosed as being nearsighted, the doctor will likely prescribe eyeglasses or contact lenses. LASIK surgery can correct vision, but many surgeons are reticent to recommend such surgery until a patient’s eye has fully developed, which does not occur until after childhood.

Parents want their kids to be as healthy as possible. Whether tailoring kids’ diets to include healthier foods or encouraging their youngsters to be physically active, parents often go the extra mile with regards to the health of their children. But as hard as parents may try, some health-related issues are difficult to avoid or prevent. For example, even the most conscientious parents might have little influence over their children’s vision. Many children have a form of myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, which progressively worsens as kids get older but eventually stabilizes when their eyes have stopped growing, typically in a young adult’s early 20s. Myopia is common and treatable, but parents should still educate themselves about it so they can better respond should they suspect their child is suffering from nearsightedness.

YIPIs gain valuable experience on the job jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Students gained valuable experience working with police officers over the summer months. Three students conducted a bike patrol in Kanata with Const. Ryan Strotmann on Aug. 16. All were part of the Youth in Policing Initiative (YIPI), a summer employment program for students ages 14-17. Michael Mathewsie, 17, of Barrhaven, said he hopes to

become an RCMP officer. “For me, (I’m doing this for) the recommendations and the references, to build my leadership skills” said the Mother Theresa High School student. Bell high school student and Bridlewood resident Brenda Lam, 17, said the training offers participants a “vibe” of what policing is on a day-to-day basis. “We had a lot of training, too,” she said.

Greely Sand & Gravel Gives Back! 2012 Loads of Love Campaign Raises $25,380 for CHEO.

Greely Sand & Gravel donated $5 from every household load of landscaping supplies, picked up or delivered.

This past spring, Greely Sand & Gravel did the impossible, transforming loads of topquality soil, stone, sand and mulch into loads of money for the Childrens’ Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).

“CHEO was there for us when our children were young, and now CHEO is there for our grandchildren,� explains Greely Sand & Gravel Owner Brent Pyper.

For over 30 years, Greely Sand & Gravel has been a family owned and operated company that really cares about their community. The idea behind Loads of Love was simple: During their busiest time of year, from April 15th to June 30th,

The response from customers was overwhelming, and the campaign raised an incredible $25,380. This year, for the third year running, Greely Sand & Gravel is supporting CHEO’s Dream of A Lifetime. Greely Sand & Gravel’s giving just keeps on growing!

Travel the world through the world of dance You don’t have to travel the world to explore the world of dance. You only have to travel to a nearby recreation facility and take part in one of the more than 200 adult dance classes offered by the City of Ottawa. Experience them all in the Adult Classes chapter of the Recreation eGuide, available at ottawa.ca/ recreationguide. Start your journey in exotic India where you can experience the cinematic sensation of Bollywood dancing. From there, venture into the middle east where you can learn to Belly dance and, in a limited offering, Bellywood. Belly dance classes have been around for years. When you are ready to take your belly dance skills to the next level, learn the complexities of Egyptian style dance by combining technique with intermediate and advanced choreography. Then, further sample the continent by learning about Western African Dance. Here, you will discover the rhythm and the energy of African dance and get a great cardio workout at the same time. Cross the Atlantic to the beaches of Rio. You will be ready for Carnival after indulging in Latin Rythm, Latin Line dancing, Salsa and

Merengue classes. Or, for a Latin flavour without crossing the ocean, head north to the Mediterranean to learn Spanish castanets. If you are looking for more of a workout, try a Cardio Fit Class with Latin Spice. For a more domestic experience, there are several ballroom, hip hop, jazz, rock and jive and American tango classes. Learn the energetic and entertaining art of Step dancing. This Irish/Scottish influenced form of dance dates back to the 1800s in the Ottawa Valley. Routines will focus on footwork, rhythms, and musicality. Can’t quite decide? Maybe you want to combine a few cultures in a Dance Fusion class, or Qi Dance, a fitness class with moves built around the world’s hottest rhythms, opening your body to change, freedom and fun.

Fall Classes start soon! Browse online at ottawa.ca/ recreation to discover affordable fall and winter programs. Visit your favourite facility where knowledgeable and friendly staff will help you discover your next adventure. You can also call 3-1-1 for more details.

Learn to Skate with a Skate Canada Club A pair of skates is all it takes With a brand new skating season just around the corner, now is the time to lace up your skates and register at your local Skate Canada club. Program registration at most Skate Canada clubs has now begun. Skating programs offered vary by club, and can include anything from CanSkate (for ages three and up) where beginners will learn to skate from certified coaches, to CompetitiveSkate, which trains and tests competitive skaters in order to help them advance – all ages are welcome to join. Other programs may include: • CanPowerSkate, for those who can skate but want to improve their speed and skills for both hockey and ringette. • STARSkate, which offers the opportunity to develop figure skating through four different methods. • CollegiateSkate, which offers customized opportunities for high school and university student athletes. • AdultSkate for the adult skater who wants to learn the basics of skating. Certain clubs also offer the

SynchroSkate program, which teaches skaters in groups of eight or more various maneuvers and formations for synchronized skating. Skating is a fundamental skill for all Canadians, whether for recreational purposes, competitive figure skating, or as a base to pursue other ice sports such as hockey, ringette, or speed skating. CanSkate is Canada’s only certified learn-to-skate program and is designed for beginners of all ages. It provides a healthy and happy activity for Canadians. All Skate Canada coaches are NCCP (National Coaching Certification Program) certified coaches, meaning they have been through hours of formal training in order to offer skaters the best possible learning experience in a positive, instructive environment. Skate Canada clubs are operated by volunteers, showing their passion for the programs which they offer and their whole-hearted commitment to the success and enjoyment of their members. Now is the time to embrace the Canadian heritage

AdoptWalk fundraiser coming to Britannia Nepean-Barrhaven EMC staff

EMC community - Children both across Canada and internationally will benefit from an upcoming fundraiser taking place at Britannia Bay Park on Sept. 29. Max Keeping, an Ottawa philanthropist and father of five adopted children, will officially open this year’s AdoptWalk event that will benefit the Adoption Council of Canada and the Children’s Bridge Foundation - an Ottawa-based charity that assists abandoned and orphaned children in the developing world. “The funds will provide life-saving medical care and teachers to provide education,” said Cathy Murphy, board member of the CBF in a press release. The Adoption Council of Canada’s president Laura Eg-

gertson said the funds will raise awareness for about 30,000 children who are waiting in foster care to be adopted into families in Canada. “We are determined to make sure that every year, more Canadian children will find the permanent homes they need and deserve,” she said in a press release. To register for the event, visit: www.AdoptWalk.ca and click “Join the Walk.” Prizes will be awarded for those who raise the most money. The event will take place at Britannia Bay Park on Sept. 29 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. “AdoptWalk will be a great family day with activities and a lunch following the walk. Please show your support by walking with us and raising money to support adoption,” said Keeping.

Stay safe around backyard pools and lakes this summer EMC news - Whether it is at the cottage, campsite or in the backyard pool, drowning can happen in a matter of seconds. Ottawa’s Drowning Prevention Coalition is encouraging residents to remember to practice water safety during

the summer months. It is important to remember that drowning deaths are preventable. Residents who intend to be around backyard pools this summer are encouraged to follow these tips: • Stay within arm’s reach of

your child at all times in and around the water. • Enrol yourself and your children in swimming lessons. • Take a first aid and CPR course. • Install fencing around all pools, measuring at least

1.5 metres high and include a self-latching, self-closing and lockable gate. Drowning is one of the leading causes of injury-related incidents for Canadian children under the age of five. Unattended toddlers are espe-

cially at risk because they are mobile, very curious and the least capable to self-rescue of any age group. Ottawa has an average of five drownings per year, including victims of all ages in pools, rivers and lakes, in all

four seasons. Now in its 13th year, the Ottawa Drowning Prevention Coalition is committed to raising the awareness of water safety and drowning prevention for parents, caregivers, children and youth.

Pet Adoptions PET OF THE WEEK Tupelo is a neutered male, black and yellow brindle retriever and Labrador mix who is about three years old. He was brought to the shelter as a stray on August 4. Tupelo loves to spend time with his human companion. He is very shy but a slow, gentle approach can win him over. He has a wonderfully gentle personality and gets along well with adults and teens who can understand that he is a little timid of fast approaching people, animals and objects. Tupelo needs an owner who will help him overcome his timid nature and allow him to experience all the world has to offer. He needs lots of daily exercise like long walks to new places and a chance to explore different environments.

COTTON ID#A144671 Cotton is a neutered male, pure white Domestic Medium hair cat who lives up to his name – he’s a soft, cuddly ball of cotton! He’s about three years old and was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on June 14. Cotton is declawed on all four paws and deaf: he needs to remain an indoor-only cat to keep him safe. He loves to play with a large variety of toys and will need lots of toys to keep him occupied in his new home. He gets along with children of all ages but would rather not live with other cats. He has one gold eye and one blue eye.

HAVING ISSUES WITH THE LOCAL WILDLIFE? YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

These animals have largely managed to adapt well to our presence. Humans, on the other hand, are still mastering this living arrangement. It is important for people to understand the need for effective, lasting, and humane solutions to occasional conflicts with wildlife. If you find an injured wild animal that is bleeding, has a broken limb, is walking in circles or falling over when walking, or another obvi-

ous injury, please contact Ottawa Humane Society’s Emergency Services at 613725-1532. For large wildlife, such as deer, moose and bear, please call Ottawa Police Services at 613-236-1222. If a wild animal does not show any signs of injury, then it is best to leave it alone. Wildlife issues are temporary problems and there are solutions. It seems daunting, but if you work out a solution, you can make sure you never have this problem again. Property owners are responsible for dealing with their wildlife situation humanely and legally. There are solutions and tips available at www.ottawahumane.ca to get the animals to relocate on their own.

Please be advised that although you are only seeing one animal, it may not be alone. The birthing season runs from late February to early October, and the babies are helpless when first born and not yet able to leave their nest or den with mom. If you scare the mother away, she may abandon her young. It is critical not to trap young inside, as they will perish, possibly falling between walls and requiring expensive drywall removal and causing very bad odours if they die in inaccessible areas. Many birds fly into windows at this time of year. The sun is low in the sky and causes some unusual reflections. If a bird hits your window, confine the bird in a ventilated box, with a covered

Buddy

This adorable toy poodle is widely known in his neighborhood. The kids can’t help but give him a pat on one of his many walks with Grandpa. Adopted from the SPCA on Halloween five years ago, Buddy is known for his loveable good looks, naughty barking at the door, and his naturally curly hair. Amoung his likes are cat treats, long walks, and chasing squirels. Dislikes include visits to the vet, baths, & burrs in his fur.

After one hour, they can take the box outside and open it. It may take a few moments for the bird’s eyes to adjust to the light. If it flies away – perfect! The bird was simply stunned. If it does not fly away it needs care. Contact the Wild Bird Care Centre at 613-828-2849.

As urban development encroaches on previously untamed areas, more humanwildlife conflicts result. People are frequently confronted with many wildlife species, including raccoons, groundhogs, squirrels, skunks, and a variety of birds.

Father took softer approach

W

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories It started when Emerson threw a pail of water on Earl, most of which missed him and caught Audrey square in the face, which completely ruined the curls she got by enduring her hair being tied up in rags all night. She grabbed the pail out of Emerson’s hand and was all set to swat him with it, when Everett grabbed the handle, wrenched it from her, and caught me, the innocent bystander, square on the backside. It didn’t hurt in the least, but always ready to make the most of any situation getting out of hand I started to roar as if I had been hit with a two-by-four. It didn’t take Mother long to come out of the house to see what all the uproar was about. She always let us settle our own battles, refusing to listen to anyone who was about to tattle. But this was no ordinary disagreement. Audrey was standing on the pump stand, screaming, the three brothers were rolling on the grass and I was wailing that I thought my back was broken.

Father, if he heard the ruckus, was ignoring it. Mother found him in the cow byre and she insisted he take us all into the drive shed and “deal with the whole lot of them.â€? Father took his pipe out of his mouth and pointed it towards the open doors, not saying a word. He put a stern look on his face and followed us all through the double doors. The heat of the day was on our side. Father had been up since dawn and even though it was early in the day, he looked wilted and tired out. He didn’t look like he was in any mood to dole out punishment. He asked Audrey what happened to her hair, he told Everett when the discipline was over he was to ďŹ ll the watering trough, Emerson was to sort the newly bought nails into the tin cans on the shelf, Earl was to feed the chickens, and with a big wink in my direction, he said, “And you young lady have to come to Briscoe’s General Store with me.â€?

&E9JŸŸ

But he wasn’t ďŹ nished with me yet, “You’ll have to eat the humbugs Mr. Briscoe gives you every time you go in the store.â€? Father knew I hated humbugs with a passion. “Or you can bring them home and give them to Queenie‌ that old horse sure loves humbugs.â€? He then gave me another big wink. Just before he let us out of the drive shed, he gave the work table another couple good whacks with the old leather strap, Emerson let out a few roars as if he had come in direct contact with it, Earl developed the usual snifes and Audrey, who we all knew was too old to strap, said, “Yes I know not to get involved the next time with any ďŹ ghts.â€? Father told me to go and wait for him beside the buggy. He walked, ďŹ lling his pipe at the same time, towards the kitchen door. “Have to run over to Briscoe’s,â€? he said through the screen. “Mary’s coming with me. And they’ve all been dealt with,â€? he added over his shoulder. Mother seemed satisďŹ ed. I once heard her tell Mrs. Beam that she “could always depend on Albert to discipline the children. Sometimes I just don’t have the energy to handle all ďŹ ve of them.â€? And for that, we ďŹ ve kids were mighty grateful.

R0011592016

e much preferred Father over Mother when it came to discipline. Father was so soft-hearted he could never come to give us a swat even if we deserved it. Mother felt a disobedient child would never amount to a hill of beans and not only did she on occasion have a heavy hand, she was quick to use it. Often Mother would say to Father, “Those children have to be dealt with. You look after it Albert.â€? This meant a trip to the drive shed, Father lighting his pipe, we ďŹ ve kids shifting from one foot to the other while awaiting our punishment. Mother was sure Father was in the shed giving us a few whacks with the strap and to make it sound like we were really being punished Father would slap the strap against his work table, Emerson would yelp like a wounded puppy and eventually we would stagger out of the drive shed pretending to be almost mortally wounded from the blows that never came. Late one summer, there was an incident. My sister Audrey blamed it on the heat. Emerson said it was because school would be going back in a couple days. Whatever the reason, there erupted on the front lawn the most glorious ďŹ ght of all time.

Neither cake nor cookies for breakfast Presents

O

ne of my favourite Bill Cosby stories is one in which he tries to persuade his wife that it was okay for him to give their kids chocolate cake for breakfast. She doesn’t believe his defence of “They made me do it! They made me give them chocolate cake!â€? So he falls back on what he ďŹ gures is a winning argument. “But cake is good for you. There’s all sorts of good stuff in it - there’s wheat and eggs and milk.â€? Needless to say, he doesn’t persuade her. When I saw this recipe for “Breakfast Cookies,â€? I immediately thought of Cosby’s story. These cookies also have a lot of “good stuffâ€? in them: molasses, eggs, milk, oatmeal, our, bran and raisins. While I don’t recommend cookies for breakfast, these make a good after-school snack, especially when eaten
