EMC news - The Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CAN) has condemned vandalism at the site of the South Nepean Muslim Community’s future mosque on Woodroffe Avenue and at their temporary home on Jockvale Road. The sign in front of the new mosque’s construction site was burned and vandalized in early August, prompting the imam and members of the organization’s board of directors to enlist the help of NepeanCarleton MP Pierre Poilievre. Poilievre said he would work to help the organization apply for funding through a federal program called the Security Infrastructure Program. The program provides timelimited funding to address security related to hate-motivated crime. This year’s intake was closed for the program in February, but Poilievre said he was working with minister of public safety’s office to see if the Nepean organization can apply for funding.

August was the third time the sign marking the location of the SNMC has been vandalized and the second time is has been discovered burned. “It is troubling that the site marking the future location of the SNMC mosque and community centre has been repeatedly vandalized. Such acts are hurtful and intimidating to local citizens,” said Ihsaan Gardee, CAIR-CAN’s executive director. “These incidents are not reflective of the values we all cherish as Canadian citizens. We encourage our fellow citizens and local leaders to join us in condemning the repeated acts of vandalism.”

NEVIL HUNT/METROLAND

The pilot of a small, single-engine plane, in red, walks away after an emergency landing in a Nepean corn field on Sept. 5. The plane developed engine trouble after takeoff from the Ottawa airport. The pilot was the sole occupant and was uninjured.

Plane makes emergency landing in Barrhaven cornfield Pilot walks away without injury Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

EMC news - The pilot of a single-engine plane was able to walk away from an emergency landing in a dirt field on the afternoon of Sept. 5, crediting his training for the safe end of his solo trip. The plane remained upright during the landing, skimming over the hard dirt and the remaining stumps of hundreds of corn stalks that appeared to have been harvested recently. The 1997-model Katana two-seater lost power shortly after takeoff from Ottawa airport, said Ottawa fire department

acting district Chief Donald Smith. “He took off on a test flight and had engine trouble and lost power,” Smith said. “He tried to get back to the airport.” The pilot radioed the Ottawa airport tower to report he was landing on the west side of the Rideau River. He avoided nearby power lines before landing in a plowed section of field northeast of the intersection of Fallowfield and Merivale roads. The spot is about two kilometres from the nearest runway at the airport. “He did a great job,” Smith said of the landing, adding there was little damage to the plane and the pilot was feeling fine despite the challenging landing. Emergency crews from the Ottawa airport, as well as Ottawa firefighters, paramedics and police officers responded to the scene. The male pilot, who did not identify

himself, was wearing a shirt with an Ottawa Aviation Services logo when he walked out of the field. “If you’re trained well, you can land it well,” is all the pilot would say before departing in a car with two other men wearing shirts with OAS logos. Smith said the Transportation Safety Board has been informed of the emergency landing and will investigate. The plane was expected to be moved from the field to the airport by flatbed truck later the same day. OAS declined to comment on the emergency landing. The flying school lists the Katana on its website as its most basic trainer and says the plane is notable for its glide ratio, which is “a significant advantage in the event of an engine failure as it allows the aircraft to reach a greater number of potential landing areas.”

Rotary club president on track for weight loss campaign Food cupboard donations reach $5,000 where the kids get to live with three host families over a year and experience the culture and schooling in another country.

Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - The NepeanKanata Rotary Club president is a little lighter and the purse at the Kanata Food Cupboard is a little heavier thanks to a weight loss and funding drive that started in July. President Steve Sharlow has dropped 15 pounds and managed to raise $5,000 for the Kanata Food Cupboard since he announced on July 26 that he would try to raise money for the charity as part of a weight loss plan. The plan includes a pound for pound pledge option on the Rotary Club’s website, designed to raise funds for the food cupboard. The second official weighin took place under the watchful gaze of Sharlow’s physician Dr. Ian Watson during the club’s regular Sept. 6 meeting at the Holiday Inn on Kanata Avenue. Watson said he is pleased with the progress. “The hardest thing is being on the road,� Sharlow said, adding it can be hard to find healthy choices in restaurants. Sharlow also added a trip to visit his mother presented a challenge. “She doesn’t really understand what I am doing and always wanted me to eat up,� he said. Since dropping the weight Sharlow said he has found it easier to get around and tries to walk 2,000 steps per day. Sharlow plans to drop 100 pounds what was his 302pound frame. “It’s going to be tough but I

CANADIAN MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION

Linda O’Neil, public education consultant with the Canadian Mental Health Association talked to the Rotary Club about the programs the social service organization offers to people with mental disabilities.

One of the programs she highlighted is called Talking About Mental Illness which brings clients of the organization into high schools to talk about some of the issues they have faced. O’Neil said the point was to debunk some of the myths about mental illness. “One of the most common things the students say is that the people they talk to seem just like everyone else,� O’Neil said. O’Neil said her organiza-

35 YE

tion typically sends two clients with different kinds of mental illness to talk to students. But with unreliable funding the program may be in jeopardy she said, adding the organization receives funding from the Trillium Foundation, United Way and the Community Fund of Ottawa as well as other partners.

Assets of bankrupt Montessori school sold Francophone Islamic school could take up residence on Fieldrow Street Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - BDO Canada Limited conďŹ rmed on Sept. 4 that it has entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the school building that housed the now bankrupt Canadian Montessori Academy. The school was closed on July 23 after an Ontario court placed the corporation in receivership. BDO closed the doors immediately. At a parent information session held on July 27 BDO vice-president John Haralovich said the company would attempt to sell the property and the assets to cover the debt owed to the City of Ottawa, the Canada Revenue Agency, the Business Development Bank of Canada and parents who had prepaid tuition fees. When asked about the possibility of leasing the school in July, Haralovich said BDO was not in the leasing business. In a Sept. 4 letter sent to parents whose children attended CMA, Haralovich said all assets of Tiny Tots Montessori – the corporation owned by Sherie, Sabena and Lester de Mel – would be sold to the World Somali Congress subject to the ap-

“This measure was taken to assist the purchaser and improve the realization for the estate,� she said. She also added that she couldn’t speak to what would happen to the students of the new school if the court doesn’t approve the sale of the Fieldrow Street property to the World Somali Congress. Ollers wasn’t able to provide the school name, but

proval of the court. Haralovich told the parents BDO planned to appear before the court with their recommendation sometime in September. In the meantime, BDO plans to lease the building to the World Somali Congress so students can commence the school year on time. That would reduce the costs to BDO for maintaining the property and assist the new owners in their transition to the new building, the

École Islamique Ibn Batouta – a francophone Islamic school – lists Abdillahi Ahmed as a member of the school’s board of directors. He is also listed as a director with the World Somali Congress by Industry Canada. A letter from the school’s director Yusuf Hassan in March 2012 lists 1000 BrookďŹ eld Rd. as the school’s address, the same as the Industry Canada’s list-

ing for the WSC. Hassan and Ahmed haven’t responded to requests for interviews. An unidentiďŹ ed representative of École Islamique Ibn Batouta is shown in a video on the school’s website talking about a fundraising campaign with a goal of raising $600,000 towards a new school, but the school site isn’t mentioned in the video. If the sale is approved, the

court would then have to provide approval for the distribution of funds from sale of the assets. Haralovich said BDO couldn’t disclose the purchase price as they wanted to protect the conďŹ dentiality of the transaction. An early July listing of the property by CLV Realty Corporation included a purchase price of $3.2 million.

GCTC kicks off season with The Secret Mask Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC community – The Great Canadian Theatre Company will kick off the 2012-13 season with Rick Chafe’s play The Secret Mask. The play tells the story of a man who is trying to reconnect with his estranged father after the pair is thrown together as a result of the father’s stroke. Ernie – played by Paul Rainville – walked out on his family when his son George (Michael Mancini) was just a toddler. Thirty-eight years later George is contacted out of the blue to help with his father who has suffered a stroke. The stroke had left Ernie with a condition called apha-

sia – a speech disorder that causes him to struggle with memory loss. To make sense of their past, Ernie and George must get to know each other through fractured memories and mixed up language – with often comedic results. “It’s not often that heartbreaking and very funny are used together to describe a play,” said director Ann Hodges. “But that’s the best way to describe Rick Chafe’s brilliant, semi-autobiographical play.” Kate Hurman, who plays all the woman characters, said she identified most with Ernie’s speech therapist. “I met with a real speech therapist who works with stroke patients,” she said.

“The work can be very heartbreaking.” As the play progresses, the audience gradually begins to understand Ernie’s unique language, which uses descriptors like cardboard to represent people who are dead. The story is based on Chafe’s experience with his own father who suffered from a stroke. “My siblings experienced all the same difficulties as George in trying to help my father who couldn’t remember where he lived or how to do or say the simplest things,” Chafe said in a press release. The show is set to run until Sept. 30. Tickets are on sale at the GCTC box office or online at www.gctc.ca.

Kids lined up for balloon animals at the Barrhaven Lions fun day on Sept. 3. ber of food banks in the riding – including the Barrhaven Food Cupboard. Voisey said the Lions Club became aware there was a need and wanted to use their annual fun day to help out. The club also planned to donate several thousand dollars to Muscular Dystrophy Canada following the fun day, another tradition. The Barrhaven Lions Club has been hosting a Labour Day event at different spots in the area for decades and has on

the corner of Strandherd and Greenbank Road for the last 10 years. The event featured the famed Lions train for kids, face painting, Crash the Clown, bouncy castles and a tour of a fire truck. Voisey said next year the club plans to include a car show with the festivities. “There are a lot of car shows across the city in the summer, but none on Labour Day weekend want to set something up for next year,” he said.

NOCO Fuels Canada awarded Esso branded Fuels and Lubricants reseller business for Eastern Ontario by Imperial Oil

R0011609187_0913

A recent investment by a family owned company is making business news in Eastern Ontario. NOCO Canada, a family owned and locally operated company has been serving Canada’s energy needs for decades. The company is leveraging their rich heritage in the business with an expansion of their fuel and lubricant operations into the Trenton and Ottawa areas. As a proud Esso and Mobil branded reseller, NOCO supplies heating oil, gasoline, diesel, and lubricants to serve residential, farm, commercial, and industrial customers. “With almost eighty years of experience in the energy business, we are honoured to have the opportunity to serve the hard working consumers of this region,” noted Mark Yeatman, General Manager of NOCO Fuels Canada, a wholly owned subsidiary of NOCO Canada. With this expansion, NOCO has established more local offices to efficiently and safely deliver high-quality products at competitive prices. With office locations in Toronto, Trenton, Ottawa and Pembroke, NOCO simplifies access for their customers by allowing them to get all of their products from one place. One major change customers will see is the elimination of a national call center. By establishing local offices and working with local personnel, NOCO is keeping business local and investing in communities. Other improved operations include online ordering and automatic payments, with online billpay coming soon. NOCO’s customers can expect the prompt, courteous, and dependable service they deserve. As the second largest Mobil distributor in North America, NOCO’s expansion has created a stronger product mix to more completely serve their customers. The company provides a full line of Mobil lubricants for automotive, fleet, industrial, metalworking, and specialty needs. NOCO also offers a used oil recycling program in some areas to make sure that businesses never need to worry about the proper collection, transportation, and processing of the waste they generate. “We believe the addition of the new products and new geography allows NOCO to address unmet consumer needs in the territory. Along with our key product brands, Mobil and Esso, we offer excellent service and local personnel. Our distribution model is strong and this new venture will provide strong value to the consumers throughout the region,” said James D. Newman, President of NOCO Canada.

EMC news - While this year’s annual Barrhaven Lions Fun Day garnered a crowd of more than 500 people, donations for the Barrhaven Food Cupboard came up a little short, said member Dave Voisey. “We had a lot of people come, it went really well,” Voisey said. “But the donations for the Food Cupboard were a little light.

Get electoral boundary changes right

U

ndertaking the task of re-drawing federal electoral boundaries is surely daunting, but it serves to ensure all Canadians are as equitably represented in the House of Commons as possible. While the recent announcement of a proposed federal electoral map makes several positive moves for voters in the city of Ottawa, it also fails to address an issue that many residents of this city can relate

to: the urban-suburban-rural divides. The total number of electoral districts required in Ontario has grown by 15 to 121, triggered by 2011 census data showing this province’s population has grown by more than 1.4 million since 2001. According to the proposal created by a federal electoral boundaries commission, a number of new ridings have been created in areas of dramatic population growth across the province. Some ex-

isting riding boundaries have likewise been adjusted. Among them are the proposed new riding of Nepean and the renamed riding of Carleton-Kanata, formerly Carleton-Mississippi Mills. There are positive aspects to both of these moves, but they were easy decisions to make. Move the western border of the renamed Carleton-Kanata riding to the city limits, break off the well-populated suburban chunk of the massive Nepean-Carleton riding and

name it Nepean. Job done. But there are missed opportunities here. Residents in rural places like Carp, Fitzroy Harbour and Dunrobin are still at the mercy of the suburban voters in Kanata. The voices of voters in Dwyer Hill, North Gower and Metcalfe are still drowned out by residents of Stittsville, Riverside South and Greely – larger, denser suburban nooks in what is mainly a rural riding. The situation is slightly dif-

ferent in the east end, where pockets of voters in places like Cumberland, Carlsbad Springs, Vars and Sarsfield remain in the sprawling Glengarry-Prescott-Russell riding, despite the fact they pay city property taxes. These examples stand out as missed opportunities for the commission, opportunities to ensure voters receive fair, balanced representation in the House of Commons. Presently, it must be difficult for an MP, such as

Nepean-Carleton’s Pierre Poilievre or Carleton-Mississippi Mills’ Gordon O’Connor to balance the way they represent their constituents. They are beholden to two different viewpoints, but one of those viewpoints gets them elected, the other – owing to their smaller numbers – doesn’t. The federal electoral boundaries commission should be doing its utmost to make this balancing act easier for our elected officials, so they can serve an electorate with common concerns. If it involves redrawing the entire Ottawa electoral map to ensure the population is balanced, so be it.

Giving a nod to the wave CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

W

aving is important. We don’t do it enough either. The other day, in one of those inevitable construction lineups on Highway 7, I watched the guy in front of me wave to the flagman as we started moving after a long delay. The flagman waved back. I waved too. He waved back at me. It was nice. Now, what did it mean? What were we all saying to each other? The guy in front, was he saying “thanks for waving me on, for changing the STOP sing to the SLOW sign�? Or was he saying: “No hard feelings: it’s not your fault I had to sit here for five minutes.� Or was he saying: “Thanks for standing out in the hot sun all day so that all of us don’t go crunching into some construction machinery?� What about the flag guy? Was he saying “thanks for being so patient� or was he saying “thanks for waving?� It could have been any or all of that, or none of it. Probably what mattered most of all was that we were human beings acknowledging that we’re all in this together, which, when you think about it, we don’t do often enough. On our lakes there is an old tradition that people in boats wave at people in other boats as they pass. Who knows what that means, perhaps something about members of the community of boaters saluting each other. The funny thing is you notice it when it doesn’t happen. And if it does happen, it can change the way you think about the other boater. Say he’s driving some great big noisy overpowered ocean liner of a boat that you think

has no business being on a lake this size. And as you’re thinking that, he gives you a friendly wave. Oh well, you think, at least he waved. Waving is a connection. Sometimes it’s an unpleasant connection, such as the well-known one-finger wave which usually occurs in traffic. Other times the connection is fleeting and distant. Children wave at a passing train. Passengers wave back. What does it mean for either of them? Yet they couldn’t not do it. The wave as “thank you� figures prominently in our daily lives. You know the situation: You’re coming out of a gas station or a side street into a heavy stream of traffic and somebody slows to let you in. When you are safely into the traffic, you wave your thanks. With your whole hand. And you mean it. Without people like that, willing to give up a few seconds of their busy lives, we’d be living in chaos, gridlock interrupted by some people barging into traffic and others slamming on their brakes. There would be a lot more one-finger waving then. The funny thing is that, even though the sacrifice we make in letting someone in is tiny, we still expect to be thanked for it. We want to see that wave. When we don’t, we are annoyed. “Wave, dammit,� we mutter from behind the steering wheel. The same thing goes for when we hold open a door for someone. It’s certainly no trouble, but we expect thanks for it. It may be sheer vanity but it may also be that we like people to acknowledge that we exist. Such acknowledgement is all the more important in an age when so many of our dealings are with computers, robots and other gizmos that know us only as a number, if at all. So we wave our thanks and feel thankful for waves. Mind you, for some of us, no thanks are required. Simply doing the good deed is reward enough. Those would be the saints among us. Too bad more of us are not like that, but then we’d all be saints and who would we look up to? And who would we look down at?

Let the kids fail

A

friend recently posted on Facebook that her four-year-old son botched a batch of cupcakes for his playgroup. To ward off disappointment, she baked another batch on the sly and allowed her son to pass them off as his own. He proudly marched into the playgroup party the following afternoon, bragging about his newly-acquired baking skills, none-the-wiser about his mom’s stealth cooking exercise. Reactions from our mutual friends ranged from “That’s so sweet!” to “You’re the best mom ever!” But I think she missed a golden opportunity. What if, instead of protecting him from his failure, she had told him overtly that he had failed? What if they had spent the next half hour discussing the reasons why the cupcakes didn’t rise in the oven? What if they had tried to find ways to make the failed batch into something successful – a little icing to hide the flat tops, perhaps? What if they had baked the second batch together to see if they could correct their mistakes from the first round? The takeaways from this innocent little baking exercise could have been far more rewarding. Like science experiments, cooking offers a chance to learn how to deal with failure in a relatively safe space. And according to a new book by author and Canadian-born journalist Paul Tough, learning to handle adversity when we’re young may mark the difference

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse between our ability to sink or swim as adults. In How Children Succeed, Tough provides an overview of neurological and psychological research studies that seem to suggest how well we eventually cope – in school, work and society -- comes down to certain personality traits we acquire as children – notably, curiosity, persistence, grit, self-control, delayed gratification and conscientiousness. Unlike cognitive skills that can typically be taught through rote learning and measured by IQ and standardized tests, these non-cognitive functions are harder to assess and perhaps even more difficult to teach. As the above cupcake example demonstrates, fostering these personality traits can take time. And it can be difficult, if not impossible, to acquire these skills in our middle-class world where there seems to be no room for failure. The paradox – and the subject of Tough’s book, which is essentially about education reform in the United States -- is that a lot of kids face adversity every day. Poverty, violence and substance-abuse are the norm for many children. What Tough sought to figure out is why some kids in these environments emerge to become highly functional

adults -- as measured by their ability to hold down jobs or acquire post-secondary degrees -- while others seem stuck in the endless cycle of generational poverty. Tough cites a number of sociological experiments that suggest that emphasizing things like problem-solving, empathy and morals early on can make all the difference. To put my own spin on his findings, it would seem that kids who face adversity, but are taught ways to deal with it, emerge with a lot more “grit,” to use Tough’s word, which is essentially the resilience to deal with life’s sometimes harsh realities. On the other hand, those who face daily adversity in an unsupportive environment and those sheltered from failure – such as the majority of kids in middle-class families – don’t seem to have what it takes to eventually become well-functioning adults. It’s difficult to say how much impact parents can have on their children’s character development. Given the number of external influences that contribute to the shaping of personality, it’s likely minimal. But at the very least, it’s worth thinking about how to provide opportunities for our kids to botch something completely once in a while. Flat cupcakes may just be a good place to start.

MP David McGuinty to help monitor Ukrainian election Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news –Ottawa South MP David McGuinty joined a team of experts sent to the Ukraine last week to assess the country’s upcoming parliamentary election. McGuinty is a member of a U.S.-based National Democratic Institute (NDI) delegation which was sent to check out the country’s electoral conditions ahead of the country’s national elections on Oct. 28. The MP was joined by Christine Todd Whitman, the former governor of New Jersey and four other delegates, a group that included international election experts, for a week-long review of the conditions and preparations in place for the election. McGuinty said that being part of the delegation is a great honour and privilege. “I have met a few people in my own riding who are originally from Ukraine and they tell me they are very worried about the state of Ukrainian democracy and whether the rule of law will thrive and whether or not this election will be conducted impartially, fair and transparent,” he said.

DAVID MCGUINTY The delegation will meet with election and government officials, political competitors, civil society organizations, and the media to gather information about the country’s election process. “It is an opportunity for me to contribute to something meaningful (to) the Ukrainian electoral environment, but at the same time learn from it and bring Canadian experience to bear in very practical ways,” added McGuinty. The delegation will release a report highlighting its findings at the conclusion of the mission. The report will look at the Ukraine’s existing legal framework, how the election was run, the political environment for the campaigns

and whether there was any intimidation or harassment of candidates. It will also highlight legal mechanisms available for any problems during the election and possible future reforms. “It is going to be important to report out to the world,” said McGuinty. Canada will be sending 500 observers to help monitor the elections. In a statement early last month, Jason Kenney, minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism said that Canada has a long and proud history of providing observers to countries to help ensure free and fair elections. “These elections are critical to a democratic and prosperous Ukraine. We are proud that Canadian election observers, many from the Ukrainian-Canadian community, will continue to stand by the people of Ukraine.” The deployment of Canadian election observers will help assess the credibility of the elections in Ukraine, including steps in the months leading up to the elections. It will also observe voting day conditions and procedures of the Oct. 28 election.

EMC news – The brain cancer battles of two Steve MacLean Public School members – one a 38-year-old mother who lost her battle last summer, the other a Grade 2 student currently fighting for her life – have inspired an entire community to find a cure. Greely resident Heather Geddie was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour in 2009, and fought for two years until she passed away in July 2011. Two of her three children, then aged nine and 15, had attended Steve MacLean Public School in Riverside South. A group of parents from the school were so inspired by Geddie’s positive attitude that after her death they decided to host the South Ottawa Race Day, which will fundraise for brain cancer research at the Rideau Carleton Raceway on Sunday, Sept. 30. But well into planning for the big event, the community received a second blow this spring when another Steve MacLean family discovered

their daughter Sofia has an inoperable brain tumour. She would have been going into Grade 2 this year, but is instead fighting her disease at CHEO. The race day will include a two-kilometre family walk/ run, a five-km walk/run, a 10km route and a half marathon or half marathon relay through rural Ottawa South. A free barbecue, a children’s corner provided by the Manotick co-operative nursery school and speeches from Geddie’s family will take place after the races are all finished. But it’s not just the small organizing group that has come together, said co-organizer Karen Sinclair. Businesses, dance studios, students and parents who never met Geddie or Sofia have jumped on board to raise funds and awareness. Dance Roots studio choreographed an awareness flash mob at the school last June, and a ladies’ night fundraiser in February sold out more than 400 tickets in just a few days. A group of 8-yearold girls sold $166 worth of lemonade in August, and on Sat. Sept. 15 the Broadways on Earl Armstrong Road will host a live band fundraiser for Sofia, which will contribute to the race day’s totals. “It’s amazing how interwoven this has become,� Sinclair said.

Geddie was an enthusiastic athlete, and Sinclair, who was close to Geddie, said it made sense to pair their fundraising efforts with something active. Adding Sofia’s cause to the banner has only served as a poignant reminder that brain cancer is prevalent everywhere, she said. Sinclair said the group hopes to raise $40,000, which the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation’s board of directors will help direct to a worthy brain cancer research project. MOTIVATED

Fellow organizer and Steve MacLean parent Chris Hill, who didn’t know Geddie, said he was motivated by her positive attitude and the community’s response during her illness. He said the event will help people grieve her loss and celebrate her life while helping to end cancer. “I think people wanted an outlet to express their grief and express their inspiration,� he said. Geddie was born in Nova Scotia but grew up in Kanata, where she graduated from the Earl of March Secondary School. She studied Recreational Marine Management at St. Lawrence College in Kingston and then worked for two years at a small shipyard before moving back to Kanata in 1997. A great lover of sports, Geddie spent the last eight years of her life in Greely where she focused on family activities including playing tennis, spending time at the cottage in Calabogie and skiing at the Peaks, according to her biography on southottawaraceday.ca. She and her family also developed strong ties to the church community in Manotick, and her husband Kevin will perform with the Manotick Village Singers on the race day. Her children Breanna, Ryan, and Colin will all take part in the event, and her parents will talk to the crowds about their daughter’s fight. Sinclair said Geddie remained positive throughout her entire illness, and was always thinking of others before herself. “She honestly never said a bad word about anybody, she was always looking on the bright side and thinking of how to help people,� Sinclair said. “She was quite a humanitarian in that sense and we wanted to keep that positive outlook going.� For more information, sponsor a participant or to register for the event visit www. southottawaraceday.ca.

New urgent care centre opens in Barrhaven Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Barrhaven, Manotick and Riverside South residents now have an alternative to heading to the emergency room thanks to a new

urgent care centre on Greenbank Road. The urgent care centre – which opened on Sept. 10 – is part of the Rideau Valley Health Centre, which opened in November. “Barrhaven and Manotick

have always been part of the Kemptville District Hospital’s catchement,” said CEO Colin Goodfellow. “Fifty years ago it was just a small community in the middle of farmers’ fields, but now we have to bring services

to the area.” Goodfellow said the new centre has nine treatment spaces, a casting room, diagnostic imaging and an ambulance bay. He said he expects it will generate the same number of visits per year as the Kemptville Hospital – which sees about 21,000 patients per year. “This will also unclog emergency rooms and it won’t keep you there for 20 hours and cost you $20 in parking,” Goodfellow said. Sonographer Tahir Mahmood said the ultrasound equipment onsite will help doctors examine joints and vascular areas as well as carry out the more traditional abdominal and pelvic exams. “It’s very safe and a lot less expensive than an MRI or CT

Scan,” Mahmood said. Goodfellow said the ambulance bay is for patients with vascular or other serious problems that need to be taken to hospital. There is also space used to stabilize patients who will be transported to an emergency room. SIX DAYS A WEEK

The centre will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. from Monday to Friday, and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be one fulltime physician per shift and two registered nurses, which Goodfellow said is similar to the staffing at the Kemptville Hospital. The physician team could also expand in the coming months. Jenny Read who handles

communications for the hospital, said an innovative funding model allowed the centre to open in three years with without the use of public funds. “Opening a hospital would have taken 20 years and millions of dollars,” she said. “This way we are addressing the needs of the area with no cost to taxpayer.” The funding model essentially means that the doctors and pharmacy on site pay their own overhead and any surplus goes into a non-profit fund for the Rideau Valley Health Centre. The space is about 1,700 square metres and has the capacity to serve 200 patients a day according to Goodfellow, who added the average wait time shouldn’t be more than an hour.

Author to share advice at Centrepointe Blair Edwards Blair.edwards@metroland.com

Jo Rioux recently published her first graphic novel that she both wrote and illustrated. The Kanata Lakes woman is already sifting through several dozen ideas for her next book. speak English, comics illustrated using the Japanese manga style of art. “I was definitely influenced by it,” she said. “Anyone who gets my book (can) see that.” Later, she attended De La Salle French public school in downtown Ottawa, where she studied in a special arts program that included one hour of visual arts everyday. Rioux will share some advice about breaking into the publishing business during the 12th-annual Kid’s Lit Gala, scheduled to be held in the Chamber Room of Ben Franklin Place in Nepean on Oct. 16, starting at 7 p.m. R0011608196

EMC - entertainment - Applying for a job as an illustrator can be a tough sell, said Jo Rioux. Illustrators fresh out of art school ritually pepper magazine and book publishers with postcards decorated with their art, hoping to catch someone’s eye. Rioux spent several years developing her craft and waiting to get noticed before she got her first big break. After she graduated from the art program at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ont., Rioux sent out hundreds of postcards, with no reply. “It’s one of those things,” said the 30-year-old Kanata Lakes woman. “It can really get lost in the shuffle.” The trick is meeting someone in person, said Rioux, who presently holds a full-time job designing graphics and animations for Smarter Apps, located in downtown Ottawa. Rioux, who recently published Golden Twine, a graphic novel for young adults, landed her first publishing deal after cornering the editor-in-chief of Kids Can Press during a book signing at Ottawa’s Museum of Nature in 2007. At the time, Rioux was working at a boutique in the museum. The fledgling then-25-year-old artist introduced herself to the editor and handed her a business card along with samples of her work. A few days later, Rioux received a contract offer from Kids Can Press,

asking her to illustrate a children’s comic book series called Sam and Friends Mysteries. “I was pretty ecstatic because in Ottawa there’s no book publishing business that will employ illustrators like me,” she said. In 2007, the publishing company was just starting out its graphic novel program. “I checked out her portfolio and I just loved it,” said Karen Li, editor of Kids Can Press. “What I was looking for was something that would appeal to kids who love manga,” she said. “I knew she could speak the language of manga.” Rioux produced four books over the next three years, publishing the last of the series in 2010. Last month, Rioux published her first graphic novel that she wrote and illustrated. Golden Twine, the first book of the Cat’s Cradle series, is set in a fantasy world and is about a little girl, abandoned at birth, who teams up with a giant dog and an imp to find her family. The book sells for $9.99 in paperback and $17.99 in hardcover and is available at Chapters, Indigo, Coles or online at www.amazon.ca. So far, 2,700 copies have been sold. Rioux’s long road to becoming a paid illustrator started when she was a child growing up in Gloucester. The young artist loved to read French-language comic books, devouring titles such as Spirou et Fantasio and later, when she learned to

She will be one of 10 artists and authors appearing at the children’s literature gala. Rioux said her first tip for new artists is to learn from other illustrators and authors. “Don’t try to re-invent the wheel,” she said. “There’s a lot of great authors out there. “Take some paneling here and there, glean from what’s already been done.” Artists can also take advantage of the tools available on the web, she added. “With the Internet you can get exposure for your own work,” she said.

“Definitely put your stuff out there so you can get feedback and get better.” Artists should learn their trade by drawing in black and white, she said. “I would advise people to start black and white,” she said. “It teaches you what’s important visually and then you can move on to colour.” Much of Rioux’s art is produced on her computer. “Invest in a good tablet, draw on it with a stylus or plastic pen – it is so much easier to draw.” Rioux still does much of her work on paper, drawing her panels using a blue col-erase pencil. She later scans the drawings onto her computer, where she adds colour, text and special effects, such as shading, using Photoshop. “I love my undo button,” said Rioux with a laugh. The artist said she’s slowly moving to actually sketching on her computer using a stylus pen. “Once I get good at that it will really speed things up,” she said. “If you can do it all on the computer I would suggest people start that way, because it’s a huge time saver.” There’s never been a more affordable time for artists to create graphic novels, said Rioux. “It’s almost all digital now,” she said. “You can almost never put a pen to paper and still do it.” With her first solely-created graphic novel under her belt, Rioux is ready for her next big project. “I have about 20 ideas for future projects and now I have to choose which ones to pursue first.”

More certified first aiders needed Less than half of Canadians can provide life-saving first aid EMC news - Recent polling by the Red Cross shows that nearly 40 per cent of Canadians say they have been in an emergency situation where they have had to perform first aid, however, only 18 per cent are currently certified. The Canadian Red Cross is calling on all Canadians to ensure they have the skills needed to save lives when an emergency happens.

“The reality is, when you learn first aid you are more likely to save the life of a family member than anyone else,” says Marentette. “These are the stories you don’t often hear about; a mother saving her child from choking, for example.” There is a significant gap between Canadians’ perception of the importance of taking a first aid course and actually taking one. Although nearly 98 per cent of Canadians say knowing how to perform first aid is important, 82 per cent have not taken a first aid course within the last three years. For more information or to find a course near you, visit www.redcross. ca/firstaid.

“Although 68 per cent of Canadians say they can recognize the signs of a life-threatening health emergency, like choking or cardiac arrest, fewer than half believe they have the skills to provide life-saving basic first aid,” says Don Marentette, national manager of first aid programs with the Canadian Red Cross. “The Red Cross believes lapsed training and Canadians’ low confidence in their ability to save a life are directly related, and pose a risk in emergencies.” While many people believe first aid is usually administered on strangers, polling shows that nearly 60 per cent of Canadians who have had to provide first aid did so to help a family member.

Canoeists paddling from Ottawa to Washington Spend first camping night at Petrie Island Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - A group of Ottawa-area paddlers are making the trek of a lifetime, paddling in a canoe from Ottawa’s Victoria Island to the capital of the U.S.A., Washington, D.C. as a part of the Capital to Capitol by Canoe trip. Covering about 50 kilometres a day, the group will paddle on rivers, lakes, canals, harbours and bays, They’ll cover the St. Lawrence Seaway, Lake Champlain, the Hudson River and Chesapeake Bay, and anticipate arriving in Washington in six weeks. Peter and Merise Brebner, from Britannia, will be the father-daughter duo on the Ottawa to Montreal leg of the trip. Peter, who owns a Brittannia area sewing business that focuses on outdoor equipment, made some of the gear that the paddlers will be using throughout the trip. Merise, now an adult, grew up taking family canoe and camping trips, so while the journey sounds unusual, it isn’t out of place for the Brebner family. Some of the paddlers have been friends for years, while others are just getting to know each other now as teammates. Their reasons for taking the trip are as diverse as the crew, but they primarily focus on respect for water as a resource and the protection of the waterways and history surrounding them. “What brought us together is, despite our backgrounds, we all recognize water as the most valuable resource,” said paddler Nicholas Tilgner, who has worked as a guide on the Yukon River. Group members hope they can draw attention to the need to restore the rivers by making the trip, which is supported by the Canadian Wildlife Federation. This includes Canada and

the United States working together to have ecologically healthy rivers running between the two countries. Dot Bonnenfant, one of the paddlers, said that there is a forgotten history along many of Canada’s waterways. The group incorporated this information into the official launch, made from Victoria Island on Aug. 5. As the trip is dedicated to Algonquin elder grandfather William Commanda, his daughter, Algonquin elder Evelyne Commanda was at Victoria Island to perform a blessing. Victoria Island was the launch site for the group because it has been the traditional spiritual meeting ground for the Algonquin people for centuries; many of whom travelled the Ottawa River. “This is pretty important history to us, and it’s lost. People take this for granted,” said Glebe resident and former city councillor Clive Doucet as he motioned to the Ottawa River. The first-day paddle saw them travel to Orléans, where they camped at Petrie Island, hosted by volunteer group Friends of Petrie Island. It wasn’t far from home for Beacon Hill’s Norm Radford, who is ready for the entire journey from one capital city to another. Now retired, Radford has participated in long distance cycling trips and is a former marathon runner. He said he’s looking forward “to an adventure of a lifetime (for) such a worthy and important cause.” Group members will change as the trip goes on, with some members joining for certain legs, and other guest paddlers joining in for several days at times. The 11-metre canoe will hold eight to 12 paddlers at a time, and will occasionally leave the water when needed to drive to the next river or passageway on the group’s

which will likely be the most challenging part of the route, said Tilgner, with a sharp contrast to the remote northern

routes he is used to navigating. “No one makes this kind of trip, ever. This will be the first

time as far as we know, that anyone has ever done this,” Doucet said. “It’s a way of keeping our rivers healthy.”

MP pushes to make union membership optional Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre says he is defending the rights of federal public servants, despite criticism that his push to allow them to opt out of union dues is undemocratic. Following the election of the Parti Quebecois, Poilievre slammed the Public Service Alliance of Canada for supporting candidates from two separatist parties. “It’s ridiculous that a union that is supposed to represent the interests of the employees of the federal government would support a separatist party,” Poilievre said. “It’s obviously not in their best interests if the country were to separate.” Despite his latest criticism, Poilievre said the conversation about changes to union legislation began much earlier. Poilievre said he was approached by a constituent at Greenfield’s Pub in Barrhaven. The man was a federal public servant who was angry the union had given money in support of students protesting tuition fees in Montreal.

MP PIERRE POILIEVRE

“These students were disruptive and caused safety concerns,” Poilievre. “That cause had nothing to do with the workplace and he felt that his money shouldn’t have been used that way.” Poilievre said what he is proposing would be an extension of Bill C-377, or the paycheque protection bill, which he said provides more transparency about how union money is being spent. “That bill has passed

through the first reading in the house and will likely make it to a second,” Pierre said. “What I am looking to do is just provide workers with choice.” Poilievre said he has been talking with colleagues about the idea and is considering a private member’s bill that would make associating with a union optional. “People who don’t want to be part of a union shouldn’t have to cross 170,000 jobs with the federal public service off their list,” Poilievre said. Poilievre cited the more than $340,000 the federal New Democrat Party had to repay United Steelworkers and United Food and Commercial Workers as an example of how existing legislation isn’t enough to ensure unions don’t overstep their bounds and donate to political parties. The president of the Canadian Labour Congress Ken Georgetti says Poilievre is trying to manufacture a crisis where none exists. According to Georgetti one of the services of the unions is to analyze the platforms of political parties seeking election. Many

EMC news - Since Aug. 10, there have been 20 reported thefts by scam artists on the streets of Ottawa. Police say the scam sees two female suspects approach a woman and ask for directions or attempt to sell a gold necklace. The female suspects place the gold necklace over the victim’s neck, in some instances stating the necklace is a gift. When the suspects remove the necklace they had placed on the victim’s neck, they also remove the victim’s own gold necklace without their knowledge. Only after the suspects have left the scene does the victim realized what just occurred. In some cases, a vehicle was involved whereby a male driver was seen picking up and dropping off two female suspects. The theft of necklaces have occurred in different parts of the city, specifically in store parking lots and neighbourhood streets including the Villa Marconi Retirement Residence, Herongate Mall, Montfort Hospital and an Esso gas station on Prince of Wales Drive. These thefts have taken

place predominantly either late morning or during the afternoon. The male driver is described as about 55 years of age, of South Asian or Middle Eastern decent, with tanned skin. One female suspect, approximately 25 to 30 years of age was described as South Asian, Middle Eastern or Hispanic, with tanned skin. The second female suspect, approximately 50 to 60 years old, was described as South Asian, Middle Eastern or Hispanic, with tanned skin. All three spoke English with an accent. The male driver has used different vehicles which are either a dark colour four-door sedan or a white, gold or dark colour minivan. If you are approached on the street by anyone wanting to sell you a gold necklace or any other jewelry, please refuse and report it to the Ottawa police at 613-230-6211. Anyone with any information regarding these incidents is asked to contact the district investigation section at 613236-1222, ext.3566 or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477 (TIPS).

organizations – private and public – offer a variation of this service to their members, subscribers and customers. “Let’s be clear about this. The MP for Nepean-Carleton is not interested in the rights or freedoms of federal public servants,” Georgetti said in a press release. “He’s playing politics.” Georgetti called the proposed legislation threatening and said it would interfere with how the union serves and communicates with its own members. Threatening legislation to impose rules on how a union serves and communicates with its own members – in this case a union with one of the most democratic structures and which is among the most accountable to its members because of federal law – is absurd and dangerously undemocratic,” he said. Poilievre denied the changes would impact the labour movement. He said unions that provide a service to its members will continue to get dues. “Unions should earn the dues they receive, rather than compelling their membership to pay them,” he said.

New rules for wood-burning heaters Existing hydronic heaters exempt from rules Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

New rules to regulate hydronic heaters in the city’s rural areas were tweaked in response to concerns expressed earlier this summer. The rules, which are new to Ottawa but common in smaller rural Ontario municipalities, are meant to govern where property owners can place the wood-burning boilers on their lots, and on which properties they are allowed. The changes followed comments voiced by both owners of the heat-producing boilers, neighbours bothered by the smoke the devices spew onto their properties and representatives from the industry. The standalone devices are common means of heating homes – and sometimes pools – in rural areas. The issue was first brought to the attention of the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee on Jan. 13 by Carlsbad Springs resident

DAN RENAUD

The smoke emitted from Dan Renaud’s neighbour’s wood-burning furnace in Carlsbad Springs. The city is planning to regulate how close to neighbouring homes people should be allowed to install the standalone heating units. Dan Renaud and Glen Roberts of Cumberland. The committee approved revised rules

on Sept. 6. Renaud and Roberts detailed their frustration as

neighbours’ wood-burning boilers sat directly adjacent to their properties. If the smoke-

stack isn’t tall enough and the boiler is close to a neighbouring home, heavy smoke

can drift across a neighbours’ property. With that in mind, the city drafted new rules that would prevent people from putting a boiler on their property if it’s a small lot. The proposed rules also include provisions for how far away the unit must be from a neighbouring home and how tall the smokestack must be. After a public consultation in May, the proposed minimum setback for a heater’s distance from a neighbour was reduced, and agriculture zones were excluded from the 8,000-metre square lot minimum. The height requirement for smokestacks was also reduced, as was the distance between neighbours that would trigger a height increase for the smokestack. The finalized rules also exclude automatically fed pellet boilers and controlled combustion. But the city couldn’t find a way to avoid “grandfathering” existing hydronic heaters in Ottawa, which displeased Renaud and Roberts. Since the most logical and effective way to regulate the devices is to use zoning provisions, said city staffer Geraldine Wildman, any hydronic heaters that are already in place are allowed to remain. COUGHING

In Renaud’s case, he says smoke from his neighbour’s wood boiler has prevented him from working at his carpentry shop in the spring. For Roberts, the concern is health. His wife has a chronic cough and must use an inhaler, which the couple attributes to the smoke coming from their neighbour’s wood-burning boiler. City lawyer Tim Marc said it’s an “awful situation” that likely results from improper use and maintenance of the devices. The boilers smoke more if green materials are used instead of dry wood or pellets, and some people even burn garbage and other materials, which produces dangerous toxic smoke. “What about the right to breathe fresh air?” Renaud said. “What is my option? To walk around with a fresh air tank?” For people dealing with a problem hydronic heater on a neighbour’s property, their only recourse will be taking their neighbours to court, Marc said. The rules still need city council’s final approval.

Terry Fox’s brother inspires Carleton students Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EDDIE RWEMA/METROLAND

R0011607983/0913

Terry Fox’s brother, Fred, helps launch Terry’s CAUSE (College and University Student Engagement) at Carleton University.

EMC news - Fred Fox offered students at Carleton University a message of hope on Sept. 6 and urged them to work hard to keep his brother Terry’s dream alive. Thirty-two years ago, Terry Fox captured the imagination of the country with his Marathon of Hope. This fall, students at universities across Canada are uniting to celebrate his legacy and raise money for cancer research. “It is important that students realize that it doesn’t matter what age you are at, it is still important to continue what Terry started and raise money to find cure for cancer,” Fred Fox told students on Sept. 6, as Carleton joined the effort, called Terry’s CAUSE - College and University Student Engagement. Eight Canadian universities are part of the initiative that will see them hold a major campus event that includes

runs and other fundraisers with all proceeds going to the Terry Fox Foundation. Carleton will join with students from the University of Ottawa for a joint run that will take place on Sept. 16 Terry was 18 years old when he was diagnosed with bone cancer and forced to have his right leg amputated 15 centimetres above the knee in 1977. While in hospital, Terry was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients, many of them young children, that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He called his journey the Marathon of Hope. “It is not just about research and finding a cure for cancer, he was showing people you could accomplish anything if you give all you have,” Fred Fox said. As provincial director for The Terry Fox Foundation in British Columbia, Fox said he has witnessed first-hand the impact his brother’s legacy had on countless supporters and cancer research. Fox spoke of the importance to continue what his brother started in 1980. “I am proud of the passion that people have for Terry,” he said. “We are proud that so many people look up to Terry and are inspired to have their own hope in the things that they are doing.” Terry started his run in St. John’s, N.L., on April 12, 1980. Enthusiasm grew and the money collected along his route began to mount. He ran 42 kilometres a day through Canada’s Atlantic provinces, Quebec and Ontario. However, on Sept. 1, after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres, Terry was forced to stop running outside of Thunder Bay, because cancer had appeared in his lungs. He passed away on June 28, 1981 at the age 22. “After being diagnosed with cancer for the second time, Terry said the Marathon of Hope must continue without me,” Fox said of his brother’s historic run. “He passed a baton to thousands of people creating a legacy that is 32 years running.” Despite Terry’s young age, Fox said he had an incredible vision. “He learned young that life was precious and short and believed cancer provided him with a purpose,” he said. “His message was a call out for people to unite and work together.” Fox urged students to work hard. “You guys are making a difference. If it wasn’t for people like you, Terry’s dream would have faded long time,” he said. Will Johnson, one of the run organizers at Carleton said Terry is an inspiration to them all. Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s John Bell said while great strides have been made in cancer research in the past 30 years, there is still much more to be done.

School bus driver reacts quickly to fire R00214642214

No injuries as more than 50 kids evacuated Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

EMC news - A school bus driver is being commended for staying cool under pressure after his bus caught fire on the afternoon of Sept. 7. There were more than 50 young children on the bus at about 3:30 p.m.when the engine – located at the front end of the vehicle – began to smoke. The driver pulled into the Esso gas station at the corner of Merivale Road and Viewmount Drive and evacuated the children, who all appeared to be under the age of 10. No one was hurt. “The bus driver deserves accolades for getting the kids out so quickly,� said Ottawa fire Capt. Sid McLennan. At least two fire trucks from a station nearby on Viewmount responded and doused the fire, which produced masses of black smoke for a short period of time. Soon after the fire was extinguished, the First Student Canada bus could be seen with its front engine compartment and rear emergency exit

The damage appeared contained right at the front of the bus and the passenger compartment was unaffected. The students on the bus were travelling from a school Parkwood Hills and were headed for the Chapman Mills

area of Barrhaven when the fire started. The students will attend a new school in Chapman Mills later this year but are currently being bused to Parkwood Hills until their new school is completed. Another bus was quickly called in after the fire and the

students were transferred to it so they could continue on their way. They were in good spirits despite the fire and waved at the firefighters as their new bus left the gas station’s parking lot. McLennan said the cause of the engine fire is unknown.

Dogs wiggle and waggle for Humane Society Gabrielle Tieman

Ottawa residents and their canine companions joined forces with the Ottawa Humane Society on Sunday with a goal to raise $185,000 during the 24th annual Wiggle Waggle Walkathon. The OHS’s “most important fundraiser of the year,” included walks of up to three kilometres through Bruce Pit near Bells Corners, a silent auction, face painting and vendor booths sporting the newest treats and toys for dogs.

“This (event) goes a long way to helping support these animals,” said Mayor Jim Watson, the ribbon-cutter for the event. “I’ve been shaking paws all day.” Mandy Chepeka, communications manager with the Ottawa Humane Society, said organizers expected to reach or exceed the previous year’s fundraising numbers while having fun with Ottawa families and “just about every breed” of dog. The walk debuted in 1998 and has since grown to include

over 2,000 participants. The proceeds will go towards programs and services the OHS offer to more than 11,000 animals brought annually to their doors – including veterinary care, foster care, animal rescue and investigations and humane education. “The event helps raise money and provides the animals with enough food and medicine while they are in our care,” said Allie Holloway, a customer service representative with OHS. “It’s a hardworking team.”

Homes on the tour

Glebe hosts annual tour House tour is a fundraiser for activities group Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Six home owners in the Glebe will open their doors to the public to help raise money for youth programming in the neighbourhood. The 12th annual Glebe House Tour takes place on Sept. 16 and allows interested individuals the chance to check out six unique homes in one of the city’s historic neighbourhoods. The money raised goes towards programming for the Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group, which runs programming at the Glebe Community Centre. Clare Rogers, volunteer coordinator for the group, said this tour is the second largest fundraiser for the organization. The event is used to keep costs reasonable for programming at the centre and according to Rogers the event usually raises around $15,000, with all the proceeds directed to the centre. She said some of the pro-

grams run out of the centre are in desperate need for funding and this event helps fill that gap. “The youth programming is typically at a loss, but it is important to have something, some kind of activities for them to do after school,” Rogers said. More than 80 volunteers are needed to make the event run smoothly and Rogers said is not possible without the help of Suzanne McCarthy, the Glebe House Tour chairwoman. McCarthy and the team of volunteers have been working since March to prepare for the event. The first step, McCarthy said, is to find home owners willing to allow more than 500 people check out their homes. “We would love to have a selection to choose from, but that doesn’t seem to happen,” McCarthy said. “We take what we can get and this year, it seems like we have a great selection of homes.” The committee puts the word out at the community centre, on the group’s website, at area businesses, at local schools and playgrounds to find out which home owners are interested in participating. This year, the homes vary in size and style, including a completely green-friendly home.

“It is a nice mix this year,” McCarthy said. She has been a volunteer for the house tour for the past four years and said she thinks the tour is successful because people are always interested in how other home owners decorate or renovate their homes. On the day of the event, McCarthy’s job is to set up volunteers at each home, packed with information about design, architecture and renovation information. Hand outs will also be available, with detailed information about the paint colours, sources for materials and contact information for designers or contractors will be available for each home. The tour offers a complimentary shuttle bus and free refreshments at the Glebe Community Centre. McCarthy said the shuttle and the refreshments are donated, to ensure all the proceeds from the event go directly to programming at the centre. Tickets for children 12 and older as well as adults cost $25 and can be purchased on the Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group’s website at www.gnag.ca. All ticket holders have a chance to win one of two home decorating consultations which will be drawn during refreshments at 2:30 p.m. at the Glebe Community Centre.

Dorothy hopeful looking for a way out of Kansas Ottawa CBC talent show contestant looks forward to Broadway Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – A Greely teen is hoping her community will take her over the rainbow and into Mirvish’s latest broadway production this fall. Steph La Rochelle, 17, is one of 20 potential Dorothies who will face the nation on Sunday, Sept. 16 to see who has made it to the top 10 in CBC’s talent search show, Over the Rainbow. If she makes the top 10, she’ll be relying on voters to keep her on the show throughout the fall until a final Dorothy is chosen for Mirvish’s December production of Wizard of Oz. The show is a follow-up to CBC’s “How do you solve a problem like Maria,� a voterbased contest to find the best Maria Von Trapp in Canada in 2008. For the theatre producers, it’s a way to market their production and find talent in corners of the country they otherwise may not have looked. Hosted by comedian Daryn

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Steph La Rochelle, 17, is one of 20 potential Dorothies who will face the nation on Sunday, Sept. 16 to see who has made it to the top 10 in CBC’s talent search show, Over the Rainbow. Jones, the premiere will announce the top 10 Dorothies, and directly afterward all 10 will perform. Each Sunday, viewers can vote online for their favourite Dorothy, and each Monday

the bottom two contestants will compete for the judges’ favour on the half-hour elimination shows. According to the show’s website, producers are looking for “a teenager who

wants to break free from her life and see the world. She needs to be feisty, spirited and funny.� La Rochelle, a recent St. Mark Catholic School graduate, feels she fits that bill.

After making the top 20 earlier this summer, she went off to Dorothy Farm in Toronto where she and the other 19 hopefuls undertook “intense dance and vocal training� with some of Canada’s foremost

theatre experts – Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber among them. La Rochelle said the camp was “probably the greatest experience of my life.� “Dorothy Farm was an intense process but loads of fun,� she said in an email from Toronto, where she was training for her television debut. “We learned a lot about ourselves as performers. We also learned a lot of vocal techniques and ways to improve our singing.� La Rochelle is the only Ottawa-area contestant left, and hopes she’ll get a chance to bring her small-town roots to the Mirvish stage. “Dorothy reminds me a lot of myself as she is loyal, caring, persistent and determined,� La Rochelle said. “Being from a small town, there isn’t much hope for an aspiring performer and I too would like to get out of ‘Kansas,’ explore the world, take chances and make my dreams come true.� One dream has already come true: auditioning for Webber. “It was a little bit nerveracking but I gave it my all and he is a really nice man,� she said. Voters can tune in at 8 p.m. for the Over the Rainbow premiere, and can vote online after the show at cbc.ca/overtherainbow. R0011616322

Energy efficiency grant funds youth-led art shop Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Youth from Operation Come Home can now take an active role in changing their future thanks to targeted funding from Hydro Ottawa donated through the United Way. Operation Come Home made the announcement on Sept. 7 at its Centretown location at 150 Gloucester St., showcasing how a grant from Hydro Ottawa and United Way Ottawa’s Brighter Tomorrows Fund has made it possible to for the organization to open a new retail outlet with art and jewelry made by youth who frequent the centre. “It is really hard to get funding for this type of space, idea,” said Elspeth McKay, executive director of Operation Come Home. The organization received more than $9,000 to incorporate a number of small upgrades which were outlined in a 2011 energy audit. The building had insulation installed in the walls and headers, replaced toilets and installed an electronic thermostat - all of which allowed the youth-oriented organization to direct their operation costs directly to

services and programs. The result, McKay said, was the storefront called Repurpose. “We already had a jewelry business, called Beadworks and when we moved into this building, we had the retail space to expand and with this funding taking care of the other expenses, we had the opportunity,” she said. The organization focuses on turning at-risk youths lives around through education and programs, such as the new storefront. According to McKay, this storefront gives youth a chance to find a purpose. United Way Ottawa changed the way the way the organization allocated funding raised from its annual campaign two years ago, creating goal priorities and criteria to appeal to donors. Hydro Ottawa, which participates in the campaign, took a portion of its donations and directed the funds towards the Brighter Tomorrows Fund, an energy efficiency improvement program. “It is not sexy, but this funding allows organizations to improve and reduce its running costs,” said Bryce Conrad, chief executive of Hydro Ottawa. “It is truly a privilege

to be here and see first hand what our contributions can do.” Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, the United Way’s 2012 campaign co-chairman, said this is what the United Way’s funding is all about - targeting communities and organizations that need it. “The Brighter Tomorrows Fund is a great example of how United Way works with organizations to achieve their business and corporate social responsibility objectives, while addressing a specific need in the community,” said Fleury. “In this case, community agencies often do not have the funds to improve the energy efficiency of their facilities, but now, thanks to Hydro Ottawa, they have access to funding.” In the past 11 years, Hydro Ottawa and its employees have contributed more than $1 million in support of the campaign. This year, the company gave $85,696 to the fund, which was distributed to Operation Come Home and six other agencies in the Ottawa region. Repurpose will officially open its doors on Sept. 24. More information on the store or the organization is available at operationcomehome.ca.

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Mike Tremblay, 22 and Kristi Rogers, 23, show off their jewelry made at Operation Come Home. The jewelry will be sold in the organization’s new store, Repurpose, which will open on Sept. 24.

United Way names new campaign leaders Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury and Majic 100 and CTV Ottawa Morning Live host Angie Poirier have been named the new co-chairs of United Way Ottawa’s 2012 fundraising campaign. The two are being called the leaders of the next gen-

eration of donors. Both have stated the goal in this year’s campaign will be to take to social media and use mixedmedia to help promote the campaign. “We are the champions for the cause, the cheerleaders for the donors,” Poirier said. “We need to jump into social media and engage the

younger, next generation of people and let them take ownership.” Part of the campaign will involve posting videos on the United Way’s website, of all of the faces of people funding helps change. The goal is to allow donors to feel connected with the organizations their donations help.

Schloss rides high in Paralympic debut Ian Ewing

EMC sports - It was the pinnacle of Jody Schloss’ 15year recovery.

Under a cool late-day sun in Greenwich Park, Schloss competed in her first Paralympic event on Aug. 31. Atop her horse, Inspector Rebus,

she found her place among the equestrian elite, riding in the team test dressage event for Canada. The Court at Barrhaven

resident guided Rebus through the required manoeuvres with grace and subtlety, horse and rider connecting with the mutual care and understanding that forms the cornerstone of their relationship. “I love my horse. I always want to do my best for Rebus, and he usually wants to do his best for me,” Schloss said after her ride, drawing a chorus of laughter. OVERCOMING

the team score, Schloss improved, finishing tied for 10th. The Canadian team as a whole finished eighth out of 16. But there was something even more important that the final results. Having overcome tragedy and crushing debilitation to compete at the highest level, Schloss once again proved herself stronger than her circumstances. “I have learned that my disability does not define who I am,” said the disability studies student who is midway through her masters. “What I am doing with my life, and my desire to help people, I hope defines who I am as a person.”

Welcome to the New School Year Listening, Learning and Leading

Barrhevane resident Jody Schloss competes in London during the recent Paralympics.

It’s riding that has had the biggest impact on her life since a car accident in her early 20s left her in a coma for three months, and in hospital for three years. A rider in her youth, she eventually returned to the sport for therapeutic purposes after the accident. Now 39, Schloss has climbed the ladder in international para-equestrian, competing in the Grade 1a class, for athletes with the highest levels of impairment. In front of friends and family who made the trip across the Atlantic to witness her first Games, the Swan Manor Stables-based athlete focused herself and her horse, despite the large and not-perfectly-silent audience at the venue. The Paralympian uses a “caller” to help her navigate the arena, which a boisterous crowd can easily interfere with. But she noted afterward that she didn’t really notice the crowd. “We were in a bubble, ignoring everyone. Rebus wanted to look around, but I wouldn’t let him.” Aware that her coach, Jessica Rhinelander, was standing nearby listening, she added, “And I wanted to look around, but my coach wouldn’t let me!” After her competition ride was complete but before having exited the ring, nearly every spectator began waving both arms in a “sign language

cheer” to express their appreciation – the common salute made prior to the vocal show of support they give once they leave the ring. “I liked it,” Schloss noted, “but Rebus didn’t.” After all the scores were in, it was a good showing for the Canadian and her equine partner. They finished 12th in the team test out of 14 riders in the Grade 1a event. “I think we did well,” Schloss added. “It was our first big competition.” Schloss also competed in the individual championship test on Sept. 2. In a ride that counted for individual medals, as well as applying towards

C ouncillor Bittersweet B final win for Blair in London Comments Team focuses on new goal

By Jan Harder

Dan Plouffe

EMC sports - If you’d told Ottawa’s David Blair prior to the Paralympic Games that his Canadian crew would win their race on the final day of rowing, you can bet he’d have been on top of the world. And that’s precisely what played out in London, but the big surprise was that Canada’s LTA4+ mixed coxed four adaptive rowing team was racing in the B final for seventh to 12th place. Canada won the race in three minutes, 31.17 seconds – close to one second ahead of France. But make no mistake – the Canadian team’s performance in London was a bitter disappointment on the heels of gold and silver medals at the 2010 and 2011 world championships, although they did get to end their Paralympic experience on positive note. “Obviously given our track record, we wanted to be in the A final,” Blair said on the dock at Eton Dorney. “But

As you’ll remember from my article at the end of February, Invest Ottawa, the flagship of the City’s $5.5-million annual economic development strategy, officially opened in February replacing OCRI. Invest Ottawa launched with a vision to make Ottawa the best place in Canada to start and grow a knowledge-based business. Its mission is to help create sustainable, export-oriented jobs in Ottawa and the region. Here’s a rundown Invest Ottawa has provided listing some very impressive accomplishments in the just six months into its operation – it may give you some ideas on how you might be able to benefit from Invest Ottawa’s services: Innovation Invest Ottawa supports knowledge-based companies and entrepreneurs with various levels of programs and services. s

In the first six months of 2012, Invest Ottawa delivered 139 workshops for approximately 2300 participants and has engaged in consultations with over 3000 entrepreneurs.

s

Invest Ottawa’s Entrepreneurs-in-residence provided 2200 hours of coaching to more than 280 companies in the last six months. The majority of these companies took advantage of additional services such as market intelligence and analysis, mentorship and assistance in accessing capital. Invest Ottawa also delivered over $2.4 M in market intelligence, representing 134 reports.

s

Since opening its business acceleration space, Invest Ottawa has accommodated 30 companies at 80 Aberdeen Street – 10 of these companies are working in Invest Ottawa’s resident acceleration program and the other 20 are connected with partner programs including Lead 2 Win, Startup Garage and Ottawa Young Entrepreneurs. Its portfolio companies created 93 jobs and attracted over $20 Million in financing.

David Blair, right, and the Canadian mixed coxed four adaptive rowing team got to finish their Paralympics with some smiles as they won the B final at Eton Dorney in London. that wasn’t in the cards, so we all needed to reset and come

here today focused with a new goal, and that’s what we did.

See FIRST on page 37.

Invest Ottawa will be adding a new milestone-driven acceleration program this fall targeting high-potential earlystage companies for its first cohort. Investment and Trade Invest Ottawa offers support services to encourage incoming and outgoing investment and trade opportunities which help diversify and grow the local economy. Invest Ottawa identified six key sectors to focus efforts: Life Sciences, Wireless, Defence and Security, Photonics, Cleantech, and Film, Television and Digital Media. s

Following a recent successful four city mission to China Invest Ottawa welcomed formal Chinese delegations and signed memorandums of understanding with two Chinese research parks. This will allow Ottawa companies to more easily partner with the tens of thousands of companies in those parks.

s

In partnership with the City, Invest Ottawa has issued an RFP for a consortium to lead the development of a film, television and digital media studio.

s

As a result of working with local companies looking for help in engaging new talent as well as foreign companies seeking to establish an Ottawa presence, Invest Ottawa has facilitated in the creation of 178 new jobs to date.

Additionally, Invest Ottawa provided assistance as required to a number of local companies resulting in job retention. The assistance ranged from identifying appropriate square footage of office space for company relocations to facilitating meetings on incentive programs. Other initiatives of note include: s

A serious shortage of seed funding has proven to be a barrier to growth for many new companies. Consequently Invest Ottawa recruited Code Cubitt, an investor from Silicon Valley, to launch a new $35 million investment fund – Mistral Venture Partners – here in Ottawa.

s

In response to the Federal Government’s cutbacks, Invest Ottawa created and promoted a job portal on its web site that promotes the jobs available within its local knowledge-based business. At the time of publication there are in excess of 300 openings posted online.

s

Invest Ottawa is engaging the community in a variety of ways from supporting grass root organizations like Mobile Mondays, the Ottawa Games Conference and Digi60, to providing logistical and communications support to the launch of Start Up Canada.

In addition to this snapshot, Invest Ottawa will publish a biannual “Scorecard” starting in January to, track its progress.

First-time paralympian vows to compete again Continued from 35

“It was a good conďŹ dent, relaxed feeling warming up. It feels good to come out in ďŹ rst in whatever race you’re in. That was nice.â€? A national team member for only two years and the youngest member of the Canadian crew, Blair’s teammates had warned him that the Paralympics would be unlike any other competition he’d previously participated in, and that turned out to be the case when he made his Paralympic debut on Friday, Aug. 31. “My ďŹ rst race going down, I knew I would get a surge of energy just by knowing where I am, hearing everything that’s going on,â€? recounted Blair, whose team was over six seconds behind eventual gold medalist Great Britain in the heats to miss the lone automatic qualifying position in the ďŹ nal. “My focus was on being as technically clean as possible,â€? the Ottawa Rowing Club member added. “By the end of the race, I had so much energy still that I could give from absorbing everything that was coming from the crowd. It’s been pretty incredible.â€? The repechage round on

could have qualiďŹ ed.â€? Blair said it wasn’t so much a case of the Canadians racing poorly, it was just that their competition enjoyed standout races. “The level stepped up,â€? added the rower who is visually-impaired and wears a blinder so that he’s not able to see at all. “If you look at our times, they’ve been pretty consistently around there. It was more that other crews from other countries upped the bar in a big way and we weren’t capable of responding.â€? Despite the disappointment, Blair sounded somewhat at peace with the result. The 20-year-old was already thinking about the future and taking another crack at the Paralympics come 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. “I spent every day trying to get ready for these Games,â€? he said. “About a week ago I realized I never want to stop improving. I’m never going to be at that point where I can say, ‘Yes, OK, this is the best I’m ever going to be.’ I came in here knowing that I’m going to give it my all and when I come back next time I’m going to be even faster. “I’ll deďŹ nitely do it again.â€?

DAVID BLAIR Sept. 1 was when the big letdown came for the Canadians. With two more places available in the ďŹ nal, Ukraine and China both beat Canada to the line in 3:23.53 and 3:25.03, compared to Canada’s 3:28.82. “It was disappointing, especially because we were in contact,â€? said the Merivale High School grad who now studies humanities at Carleton University. “If we had our best race, I think we

EMC sports - The tension in the Copper Box gymnasium was only elevated by the fact their sport must be played in complete silence so the players with visual impairments can hear the small bell ring inside the ball when it’s rolled. Tied in the ďŹ nal moments, the Ottawa-based Canadian women’s goalball team was involved in similar high-stakes matches on back-to-back days at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. The ďŹ rst day, it was elation. A victory over the U.S. would give them ďŹ rst place in their pool. The game was scoreless the whole way through, but with under two seconds left, Nancy

Morin ďŹ red a shot home down the sideline to give Canada the 1-0 victory. The next day, it was crushing despair in their quarter-ďŹ nal elimination match against Finland, with their opponents that scored a late marker. It was the abrupt end to the Canadians’ podium dreams.

West-end basketball associations look to merge programs Kanata and Goulbourn’s associations in discussions Blair Edwards

west-end basketball association – the name has yet to be decided – would start with a pilot-program next year, with up to four competitive teams in the younger age groups. “We’re hoping two years from now there’ll be just one association in the west end,” said DeAveiro.

ELITE PROGRAM

EMC sports - A plan to combine competitive basketball programs in the city’s west end is a slam dunk for developing young players, said Dave DeAveiro, president of the Kanata Youth Basketball Association. The Kanata and Goulbourn basketball associations, which serve hundreds of youth between the ages of five and 18 in house league and competitive programs, agreed last summer to begin discussions on a possible merger of their competitive teams. A west-end basketball association could one day also include players from Osgoode, Rideau, Carleton Place, West Carleton and Arnprior, said DeAveiro. “Soccer’s gone that route,” said DeAveiro. “They’ve taken all the westend clubs and merged them into one. “When you combine all the smaller associations and form just one large association, you have all the best kids playing together and they don’t have to leave their area to go and play (competitively).” Details of the proposed merger still have to be ironed out and nothing has been approved by the executives of either association. “Discussions continue towards looking at an Ottawa west organization including Kanata and Goulbourn and will continue on throughout the coming year to ensure members’ expectations … have been met,” said Paula Warnholtz, a member of the Kanata Youth Basketball Association executive. Discussions are still in the early stages between the presidents of both associations, who will bring a proposal for consideration by their associations’ executives at a later date. If the merger is approved, the new

DeAveiro said a merger is the next logical step in a process that started this year, with the Kanata basketball association agreeing to absorb the Ottawa Next Level, an elite-level program that develops some of the best players across the city. “It’s a vision of building basketball in the west end, providing our kids with quality coaching and the competition that they seek and desire,” said DeAveiro. “Our kids want to be exposed to and play against the best teams and those teams are Toronto, those teams are the U.S., those teams are Montreal.” The merger will help children in all levels of basketball, including those in house league, said DeAveiro. DeAveiro held tryouts for the under U19 Ottawa Next Level basketball team at Franco Ouest high school on Sept. 5. The players came from across the city and as far away as Brockville, all hoping for a chance to play on the elite-level team. DeAveiro created the Ottawa Next Level program in 2006, when he was the head coach of the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees men’s basketball team, as a way to scout and develop young players capable of making the jump to university ball when they graduate from high school. “There’s so much talent out there right now,” he said. “Right now we’ve fallen short in terms of providing them with the programs, the coaches, the resources that these kids need to become very good basketball players and compete against the powerhouses, which is more (in) southern Ontario. “We believe there’s enough good bas-

ketball players in Ottawa, where our kids are all together and they’re not scattered playing for different teams, that can compete against teams in Toronto and beat them.” DEVELOPMENT

David Byck, president of the Goulbourn Basketball Association, said the proposed merger would provide more opportunities to develop players on house league, competitive and elite teams. “It just increases the gene pool,” said Byck. House league and competitive league coaches would have the opportunity to learn from Ottawa Next Level coaches, as well as from guest speakers from the Ontario Basketball Association and special coaching clinics. Byck said this will have a “trickledown effect” on all levels of basketball. Goulbourn and Kanata’s house league teams would still run under the name of the Goulbourn Hornets and the Kanata Cavaliers, he added. “Goulbourn has a very strong reputation around the province and we don’t want to lose that,” said Byck. “That’s a big concern of ours.” Creating an elite-level program in the west end would keep Kanata and Stittsville’s players in the community, said Byck. In the past, Goulbourn’s best basketball players travelled as far as Gloucester to play on competitive teams. “That’s tough on the families; that’s tough on the parents,” said Byck. The proposed merger wouldn’t result in any unusual fee increases, said Byck. Kanata and Goulbourn’s basketball associations have already been working together to provide a broader house league program for children. “We’re already working with Kanata,” said Byck. “We’re already doing a referee development program with Kanata. We’ve done coaching clinics with them. This isn’t the first time we’ve been connecting with Kanata in a constructive way.”

Highs and lows for young Ottawa Lions Paralympians Dan Plouffe

The London 2012 Paralympics provided a learning experience for a group of young Ottawa Lions who moved to the capital in the lead-up to the Games. There were a few appearances in event ďŹ nals, but there were also plenty of letdowns for the ďŹ rst- or second-time Paralympians – Rachael Burrows, Curtis Thom, Leah Robinson, Brandon King and guide runner Andrew Heffernan. Each athlete is committed to coming back stronger at future Games. For the eldest of the group, 29-year-old Burrows, her Paralympic debut was all she could have asked for. The T34 wheelchair racer made it to the ďŹ nal in both the 100 and 200 metres, ďŹ nishing eighth and sixth respectively. “I’m proud of myself to get ďŹ nals in both my Paralympic events. That’s what I wanted,â€? said Burrows, who sported stylish red patches throughout her hair at the Games. “It’s been a wonderful experience. I’m very blessed to do it and I’m very thankful to Canada for allowing me to represent them. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.â€? Thom started off his Para-

lympics with a bang, earning a surprise place in the T54 men’s 100 m ďŹ nal. He’d been ranked 12th in the event, earned the eighth and ďŹ nal qualiďŹ cation position through preliminaries, and wound up placing ďŹ fth in front of the crowd of 80,000. “Being in my ďŹ rst Paralympic ďŹ nal was phenomenal,â€? said the 26-year-old who participated in the 2004 Athens 4 x 400 m relay. “I was pretty happy with that.â€? Thom later found himself in the fastest heat of the men’s T54 men’s 400 m. He placed ďŹ fth in his heat in a time of 48.57 seconds – fractions of a second short of advancing to the ďŹ nal on time, although he was quicker than three autoqualiďŹ ers from other heats and posted the sixth-fastest time overall. “It was a tough race,â€? Thom said. “I went out pretty hard. I just tied up at the end and I couldn’t stay with them.â€? His time wasn’t out of his recent performance range, although he had entered the race with the best time in the world this season at 47.20. “I think I was a lot more nervous,â€? Thom acknowledged. “I think I had a lot of pressure that I put on myself, knowing that I had the worldleading time. It was an inter-

&E9JŸŸ WĆŒÄžĆ?ĞŜƚĆ?

esting feeling, but it was a lot of pressure for me.â€? Thom wrapped up his Games with the 4 x 400 m relay where the Canadian team missed the four-team ďŹ nal by the slimmest margin behind Australia’s time from the other heat. “It’s disappointing,â€? Thom said. “There are a lot of questions that go through your head when it’s such a close time. I kind of wondered should I have tried to push a little harder, could I have gone a little bit faster, could I have had a better start?â€? Robinson was also left to wonder what could have been had she earned a place in the T37 women’s 400 m for athletes with cerebral palsy. Had her race been only 300 m long, the 18-year-old would have been in excellent shape. But that’s why the 400 m is regarded by many as the toughest race on the track, since it requires a sprint for an entire lap. Robinson laboured heavily down the home stretch in her heat, ďŹ nishing with a time of 1:16.94 – well below her personal best of 1:10.81, which would have got her into the ďŹ nal. “I deďŹ nitely realized about

Heartbreak for Robinson at Paralympic Games 275 metres in that it was a little too quick,â€? Robinson said after taking a few minutes to compose herself under the stands by the track exit. “I don’t know what it was, but I didn’t quite listen to that conscience in the back of my mind saying, ‘Too fast, too fast.’ “I just kind of gave out, and these girls happened to be that much stronger than me on this given day.â€? Robinson noted that she also went out too hard at last year’s world championships, but managed to get through to the ďŹ nal nonetheless. She wound up placing ďŹ fth at the worlds, so missing out on the

top-eight was a major letdown for the athlete who is coached by Hugh Conlin, a national team coach with Lions roots. “I have no one to blame but myself,â€? Robinson added. “This is a big heartbreak. I’ve given 110 per cent all year. I moved cities. I have a phenomenal coach, who I want to thank. He’s been there with me through ups and downs, and he’s going to be there with me today, I’m sure, through this awful heartbreak.â€? King and Heffernan also missed out on a reaching ďŹ nal, in the four-team 4 x 100 m relay. But it was mostly a positive feeling as they achieved a new personal-best performance, bettering their

previous top time as a team by around half a second. King, 21, didn’t let the buildup intimidate him in his Paralympic debut, choosing to keep a low proďŹ le the ďŹ rst few days of the Games and just relaxing in the Athletes Village to focus on his races. “My nerves were more just excitement. I wanted to go out there and show the world what I’ve got,â€? King reected. “We ran hard. And it’s exciting to know we can still get faster.â€? The pair also competed in the individual 200 m, but did not advance past their ďŹ rst heat. Heffernan loved soaking up every moment of his ďŹ rst Paralympic experience. “It’s a really global com-

munity village,� highlighted the 23-year-old. “It’s amazing. Especially for the paras, there’s so many people with

different abilities, different races, cultures, everything. Everybody’s so together in there. It’s an unbelievable feeling.

That’s what I’ve taken away more than anything from the Games. It’s a great thing for the world.�

Sugar bowl was sometimes lacking

T

here was no doubt about it, Father needed a new suit. The only one he owned was threadbare, and even though he hadn’t grown an inch, the cuffs on the legs were above his ankles. No doubt because Mother had tried to wash it one Monday and now even the sleeves were too short. There was no getting around it. He needed a new suit, and the ad in the weekly Renfrew Mercury was just what the doctor ordered – three pieces for $14. Father said there was no money for such frivolity. Mother said going to the Lutheran Church on Sunday dressed like a tramp, raised the purchase well above frivolity. I knew Mother had waited until the big wood box of hand-me-downs had come from Aunt Lizzie in Regina to make sure there wouldn’t be something suitable from Uncle Jack. But as always, whatever Uncle Jack once wore had to be severely altered before it would ďŹ t Father. Uncle Jack was about Father’s height, but there the similarity ended. My sister Audrey said he looked like a pineapple. I have no idea how she knew what a pineapple looked like, because I never knew one to come into the house, but I did know Uncle Jack was more round than long. His arms were huge and hung well below his hips, and it always looked like he was carrying a bag of grain under his jacket. Without altering the suit, you could put at least two of Father in it. Now Mother, when she moved to the farm out in Northcote, tried her best to master the old pedal Singer sewing machine and she did

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories well on simple things like clothes for Audrey and me, making aprons and even simple house dresses out of Dan River cotton, but when it came to trying to make Father ďŹ t into one of Uncle Jack’s suits, she failed miserably. It always ended up that the suits, after being taken apart, became jumpers or skirts for my sister and me. The Mercury had come in the middle of the week and Mother said there was just about enough money in the blue sugar bowl in the back-to-the-wall cupboard to buy the suit. What was lacking would be made up when Mother peddled her eggs, butter and chickens on Saturday in Renfrew. So it was decided Saturday was the day Father would be getting his new $14 suit. The excitement ran high that week in our old log house in Northcote. That didn’t mean we could ease off on the workload. Chores were done as usual morning and night in the barns and Mother made sure my sister Audrey and I kept up with what was expected of us in the house too. But you’d think we were all getting a new outďŹ t, not just Father, as the day of this major purchase drew closer. Mother took the blue sugar bowl out of the cupboard a few days before we were to head into Renfrew. She dumped the coins out on the kitchen table with a couple

crumpled $1 bills. Then she moved the money over to the top of the ice box and stacked the coins in little piles on top of the bills. The blue sugar bowl went back into the cupboard. She ďŹ gured she’d have to sell at least four chickens, ďŹ ve or six pounds of butter, and six dozen eggs to make up the difference between what was sitting on the ice-box and what the suit would cost. The day before we were to head into Renfrew, just before we were to sit down to eat at noon, Father came into the kitchen with a long piece of harness in his hands. He stood silently at the back door, never taking his eyes off it. “Broke. Just as I was putting it on Queenie. This is the piece I have ďŹ xed at least a dozen times. I’m afraid it

won’t take another ďŹ xing. Can’t use the team without it.â€? He didn’t have to say any more. Mother went to the ice box and slid the coins into her hand with the bills. She looked at it for a minute and walked over to the door and handed it to Father. It would take just about all of it to replace the worn-out harness that should have been replaced long before. Horses and their harness meant survival back in the 1930s. A farmer couldn’t farm without either. Nothing more was said about the $14 suit. We went into Renfrew as usual on Saturday for our few supplies, bought only after Mother made her house calls along the back streets of the town with the cleaned chickens, butter and eggs. That day she had sticky buns as well. It would be a long time before the blue sugar bowl had in it enough for what Father called a frivolity like a new suit. Sunday morning saw him at the Lutheran Church in the same old suit he had worn for years.

It is stormy waters in the world today. Across Europe and the United States, millions go without work. Those who do work face a lifetime of crippling taxation to pay for the entitlements of their countrymen and the debts of their governments. Canada by contrast is strong. Many believe that the 2008 US ďŹ nancial collapse and recession were the result of irresponsible behaviour by business and banks. In fact, this behaviour was merely the symptom. The illness was massive government intervention to turn the mortgage business into a social program. The government encouraged millions of Americans to spend money they did not have on homes they could not afford, using loans they could never repay. It then gave them a tax incentive never to repay it by allowing them to write off their mortgage interest. The bigger the mortgage debt, the lower the taxes. The U.S. government debt is now bigger than the entire American economy and one in ďŹ ve American households had mortgages that were bigger than the value of their homes. Mark Steyn points out, according to the congressional budget ofďŹ ce, that by 2020 the United States government will be spending more annually on debt interest than the total combined military budgets of China, Britain, France, Russia, Japan, Germany, Saudi Arabia, India, Italy, South Korea, Brazil, Canada, Australia, Spain, Turkey and Israel.

Yet if America is jogging off the debt cliff, Europe is sprinting. The European welfare state borrows on taxes to give people stuff they have not earned. Standard and Poor’s has downgraded French and Austrian government debt and has reduced the ratings of seven other countries in the Euro currency block. Because no one will lend their own money, the European Central Bank must step up and lend 150 billion Euro of other people’s money. Thank goodness, the EU has a bailout fund to prevent government defaults. Too bad Standard and Poor’s has downgraded that bailout fund, so soon the bailout fund will need a bailout. Margaret Thatcher pointed out that the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money. We call that a “sovereign debt crisis�. I describe this humiliating American and European experiment with the welfare state because it is precisely the same experiment the opposition and its union bosses wish to impose on Canada. We know where it leads. Everyone takes and nobody makes. Work does not pay and indulgence does not cost. Money is free and money is worthless.

Canada is one of the greatest success stories of human history precisely because our leaders were practical and smart. From the beginning, they understood the basic rules of success: people should work hard, pay their bills, spend only what they have and let free people do the rest. More freedom meant less government. Low-cost government meant a low-tax nation. Then, as now, Canada’s low-tax system worked. In the ďŹ rst 20 years of the 20th century our population grew by an unprecedented two-thirds, the wheat yields in the Prairies by 500% and exports more than doubled. Today we have an economic action plan based on our history. To stay strong, Canada must never repeat the mistakes of Europe and the United States and we must instead focus on what Canada has already done right. Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean-Carleton

Easy-to-make ‘mother sauce’ has unlimited possibilities

O

f all the millions of recipes that exist in cookbooks, there’s one which is found more often than any other. It appears in cookbooks published around the world – from Eastern Ontario to France to Australia. You probably have it in at least one of the cookbooks in your kitchen right now. The recipe is for a “basic white sauce,” and it’s made with three ingredients – butter, flour and milk. In France, they call it “one of the great sauces,” but they also have another name for it – the “sauce mere” or “mother sauce.” And that’s probably the best name for this sauce because it’s the starting point for so many different recipes. It can be flavoured with cheese, herbs, mustard or wine, and served over vegetables, meat, poultry or fish. Although the basic white sauce has been used in both home and professional kitchens for years, it became a lot simpler to make with the introduction of the microwave oven. The recipe that follows is for creamed salmon on toast, a convenient and quick supper dish. It starts with a medium white sauce and you can use

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff this basic sauce recipe for any other dish that calls for it. The microwave technique for cooking it is explained stepby-step. CREAMED SALMON ON TOAST

• 2 tbsp. butter or margarine • 2 tbsp. flour • 2 cups milk • 1/2 tsp. butter or margarine • 1/2 cup frozen peas • 1/2 medium onion, chopped • 2 cans (213 gram) salmon, drained • salt, pepper to taste Use a microwave-safe bowl or a measuring cup that holds four cups. In the bowl, melt two tbsp. butter or margarine on high for 40 to 50 seconds. Stir in the flour until it forms a smooth paste. There’s no need to cook this mixture. Add the milk all at once and stir well. Microwave on

high, uncovered, for four to five minutes. During this time, stir the sauce once every minute, scraping around the bottom of the bowl to mix in all the flour paste. When the sauce is slightly thickened, cook it one to two minutes longer on high. This time, stir the sauce every 30 seconds to prevent lumps from forming and the sauce from boiling over. The sauce is done when it’s thickened and bubbly. If you’re making creamed salmon on toast, place the 1/2 tsp. butter, frozen peas and onion in a small microwavesafe dish. Cover and cook on high for two minutes. Stir the onion mixture and the salmon into the white sauce. Cook on high for one to two minutes longer, stirring every 30 seconds, to heat the salmon. To serve, spoon over toast. Use one or two pieces of toast per person. Serves four.

Fallen firefighters honoured Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – About 200 Ottawa firefighters marched to city hall as part of a solemn ceremony to honour local fallen colleagues during the 11th annual Firefighters Memorial Service held on Friday, Sept.9. The ceremony honoured lives of three men who died in the line of duty and 13 others who passed away outside the line of duty. Several dignitaries, including Ottawa fire Chief John deHooge, Mayor Jim Watson and

Ontario Minister of Transportation Bob Chiarelli, delivered messages that paid tribute to those who had selflessly given their lives in the line of duty. “Each and everyday firefighters risk their own lives in order to save and protect the lives of others,” said Watson. He hailed the Ottawa fire services for playing an important role in the community, adding that their dedication to the city is to be admired. See FIREFIGHTERS, page 54

Firefighter memorial unveiled with bronze statue Continued from page 53

“Today we honour and remember firefighters who have lost their lives on the line of duty. We also honour and remember the firefighters who have served our community and have since passed away.” The fire chief presented flowers and certificates to the families of the fallen firefighters and a bell rang out after each name was read. “We are here in reverence to support and comfort our families in their loss, and to offer the continuing love and support of the Ottawa Fire Services,” said fire Chief John

deHooge. “We are here to honour their memory by remembering their courage and sense of duty, to respect their service to humanity, their fellow firefighters and our nation’s capital.” PLAQUES

The service was also marked by unveiling of three new plaques at the Ottawa Firefighters Memorial to remember the dead. “These plaques are a humbling tribute to the memory of those courageous firefighters, who sacrificed while protecting others,” said Chi-

arelli. “We keep their legacies alive by gathering here and showing our respect. They were outstanding individuals who made a difference in the communities they served.” In a related development, on Sept. 9 part of LeBreton Flats was transformed into a permanent memorial site, honouring more than 1,100 fallen Canadian firefighters. A six-meter-high, bronze statue of a firefighter stands tall, his right arm pointing to a commemorative wall. Etched into the granite are the words “Never to be Forgotten,” alongside the names of firefighters who died in

the line of duty since 1848. Governor General of Canada David Johnston recited the names of 12 firefighters who were added to the list of fatalities in 2011. Among the names was Jean-Luc Deba, a 54-year old pilot who died on May 20, 2011, in a helicopter crash while fighting fires in Slave Lake, Alberta. “I came here to remember my brother,” said Laurence Deba, who traveled from France for the ceremony. “It gives me lots of hope… he’ll be remembered as someone important.” Louise Rea from North Perth, Ontario was also presented with an hon-

orary medal and helmet. Her husband Kenneth Rea was one of two firefighters who died battling a blaze at a Dollar Stop store in downtown Listowel, Ont. on March 17, 2011. “It was very overwhelming, I’m honored to be here,” said Louise. Kenneth was 56 years-old when he died. The Canadian Firefighters memorial cost $5 million, including $2 million which was raised by the Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation, $2.5 million from the Government of Canada’s Department of Heritage and $500,000 of in-kind donations.

Fall fashion to support Watson’s Mill this September Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Eva Michaliszyn, owner of the Nin boutique in Manotick, will host a fall fashion show at Watson’s Mill on Sept. 28. immediately began to give back to the community that embraced her. “The town gave me a shot from the start. I was very, very lucky,” she said. “I do this to give back, it’s as simple as that.” While she supports other causes throughout the year,

“this is my main thing,” she said, because Watson’s Mill is such an important part of the community. “That’s what makes us unique. We need to keep it up,” she said. Mill manager Isabelle Geoffrion said Michaliszyn’s efforts have been a huge boon

for the museum. Her fashion shows have already raised $30,000 for museum programming. Geoffrion hopes to make about $5,000 this year between ticket sales and the evening’s raffles. Tickets are $35 and include a drink voucher. All of the proceeds go towards Wat-

son’s Mill programming – a huge help for the community museum, according to Geoffrion. “Events like this that really help us make sure we have a whole calendar of public programming throughout the year,” she said. “There are all kinds of things that we do

EMC news – Heritage and high fashion will come together at a fall fashion show at Watson’s Mill on Friday, Sept. 28. Since 2007, Nin Boutique owner Eva Michaliszyn has organized a charity fall fashion show for Manotick’s landmark heritage site, where she showcases her fall and winter collections while visitors enjoy a relaxing “girls’ night out” at the mill. The evening begins at 7 p.m. and Black Dog Bistro will cater a mix and mingle hour with appetizers and wine on the mill’s main floor. The Swing Bridge Band will keep everybody hopping throughout the hour. At 8 p.m., guests will move to the mill’s upper level for the fashion show. Chairs are stationed around the old milling machinery so that everyone gets a front row seat. “It’s a relaxing evening, it’s rustic and has a nice atmosphere,” said Michaliszyn. “It’s a girls’ night out, it’s a really great couple of hours.” Michaliszyn has owned her women’s clothing boutique for 28 years, and spent 20 years downtown Ottawa at Kent and Queen Streets. Eight years ago the Manotick resident brought the business back to her own village and

... never mind all the milling demonstrations and being open free to the public seven days a week.” Geoffrion said Michaliszyn’s commitment to the museum makes her one of the village’s unsung heroes. “It’s time we highlight her story a little bit because she’s been so incredibly generous with us,” she said. While the mill provides some volunteers and helps with some logistical planning, Michaliszyn champions the show every year, Geoffrion said. Michaliszyn said she will bring a mix of business, weekend and “after-five” fashions. She will not sell anything on site during the event, she said, because she doesn’t want to pressure anyone into buying. However she will open her store on Manotick Main Street after the event until about midnight. If nothing else, Geoffrion said the fashion show itself is worth seeing. “The ladies of Manotick dress extremely well. (At this event) I’m usually the one whose the worst dressed in the entire building,” Geoffrion laughed. “It’s really fun and interesting to see.” Tickets are available at Nin Boutique on Manotick Main Street or at the mill.

Youth get their say at city hall Oct. 12 Photo contest leads up to youth summit Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Mayor Jim Watson wants everyone from street kids to student council presidents to participate in the city’s youth summit. Watson said he is always inspired by young people and he hopes the city can leverage their opinions to influence how the city makes decisions. The event on Oct. 12 will invite 200 young people between the ages of 16 and 25 to city hall for speakers, discussions and workshops, but event chairman, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, invited all the city’s youths to participate by watching the webcast on ottawa. ca and tweeting using the

hashtag #ottyouth. Registration is limited. Youth can register now at ottawa.ca/youth. “My goal is to give street kids and student council presidents and everyone in between a chance to address the shortcomings of the city,” Watson said during a launch event at Operation Come Home in Centretown on Sept. 6. “This is not going to be a monologue. It’s going to be a dialogue between youth and city council.”

“My goal is to give street kids and student council presidents and everyone in between a chance to address the shortcomings of the city.” MAYOR JIM WATSON

The day-long event was inspired by the success of last

year’s senior’s summit, Watson said when he announced the event at the beginning of the year in his state of the city address. The Older Adult Plan and the upcoming Older Adult Action Plan were informed by the senior’s summit. Similarly, Fleury said the youth summit will lead to five to 10 tangible initiatives the city can undertake to make Ottawa more youth friendly. The youth summit will also feature a slew of mentors young people can chat with to find out how they charted their course to success. That list includes the keynote speaker, David Hale, founder of Social Group, a digital, mobile and social marketing strategy firm. He is also on the board of the Ottawa Community Loan Fund and the CHEO social media committee. The summit is co-organized by other local organizations, including Child and Youth Friendly Ottawa (CAYFO), which is running a photo con-

test in the lead-up to the Oct. 12 summit. Youth Pic Ottawa asks young residents to show off “their Ottawa.” “What is your Ottawa and what makes it youth friendly?” asked Mandi Duhamel of CAYFO. Go to cayfo.ca to submit your digital photo and a short description of why it represents the city and what makes the city youth friend-

ly. Submissions will be accepted until midnight on Sept. 28. The photos will be displayed during the Youth Summit. Two local youth already had a chance to get involved by designing the logo for the event. Greenboro resident Ahmad Hussein came up with the concept and Nepean resident Sara Minaeian refined it into the final product.

The logo depicts a mountain surrounded by a border that mimics the city’s “O” logo. “It defines how youth will be the base of the summit,” said Minaeian, who attends Colonel By Secondary School in Beacon Hill North. “The three peaks show how the youth, seniors and adults in the city can connect,” added Hussein.

In addition to rugby, the park is also home to other sports such as soccer, lacrosse, ultimate Frisbee, volleyball making it a busy hub of activity, throughout the summer.

Nepean-Barrhaven EMC - Thursday, September 13, 2012

Playing Futsal will enable coaches and the players to raise the level of their game. Futsal is the fundamental training in most Brazilian leagues and throughout South America. The focus on footwork, speed with the ball and quick feet, qualities that lack in most North American soccer players. Playing Futsal will enable the players to get more touches on the ball, which in turn will improve their long term development. The majority of possessions in Futsal are quick 1 or 2 touch combinations with teammates. The game rewards players who keep their head up, who control the ball, who support their team mates and who use one and two touch combination play to work with team mates. Come out and learn why futsal is recognized as the best way to teach the proper fundamentals of soccer and is the only type of indoor soccer endorsed by FIFA.

Sometimes you just have to get your hands dirty

Festival promises to entertain Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - The Old Ottawa South Art and Music Festival returns later this month for a weekend filled with sights and sounds for the whole family. Now in its eighth year, the two-day festival will be held in Windsor Park on Sept. 15 and 16. This year 40 artists will set up booths at the festival which hosts artists and musicians from Ottawa and the surrounding region. The festival, started as Old Ottawa South’s own version of Art in the Park, has grown into what organizer Susan Phipps said a family-fun affair. “Try to have something always fun for the whole family,” Phipps said. “We want it to be fun for everyone.” The artists who show at the festival must meet two requirements, the art work must be original, created by the artist and it must fit into the acceptable media requirements, such as a painting, drawing, mixed media, photography, sculpture or pottery. Singers, fiddlers, jazz bands and a drumming ensemble will be among the performers to take the stage during the two-day event. Phipps said the music is specifically chosen to create a relaxing atmosphere. A full list of performers is available on the festival’s website at oosartandmusicfestival.ca. Food will be available to purchase from Old Ottawa South businesses Life of Pie and Joy of Gluten Free. The event runs both days from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The rain or shine festival is free. STAGE LINEUP

Saturday, Sept. 17

Whether you want your creativity to be mucky and yucky, or clean and pristine, there is bound to be something interesting near you listed in the City of Ottawa’s Recreation eGuide available at ottawa.ca/recreationguide.

SUBMITTED

The 8th annual Old Ottawa South Art and Music Festival will take place on Sept. 15 and 16. acoustic bass and violin • 2 p.m. Kinnexa Cross - alt-country • 3 p.m. Trina Langthorne Trio - smooth jazz • 4 p.m. Mark Paré - solo vocalist

Sunday, Sept. 18 • 10 a.m. Musical Interlude • 11 a.m. Sean Kemp - fiddle • 12 p.m. Devin Johnstone - solo • 1 p.m. Kunundrum - African drumming rhythms • 2 p.m. Julie Corrigan - songstress • 3 p.m. Devin Johnstone and Hollow Tree Yoga - yoga, live music (audience participation) • 4 p.m. Jamie LeClaire - folk songwriter

There is probably no better way to make a mess than through pottery. Artists at the Nepean Visual Arts Centre produce more than 50,000 pieces of art each year. This year, some of them can be yours. Think about Discovering Your Voice in Clay, Sculptural Handbuilding or maybe a Wheel and Hanbuilding Combo. For a splash of colour in your work area there are painting classes of various media offered across the city. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, you can work with oil, acrylic, watercolour or mixed media, explore abstract expression or classic portraiture. Does Canvas and Cocktails sound appealing? For something artistic and practical, learn to make a table, tray or mirror frame mosaic. Using stained glass tailored to suit the individual (beginner or improver), learn about techniques and materials and take home the completed project of your choice.

If you would like to eat your art, there are cooking classes available for young and old alike. Classes involving sushi, phyllo pastry and wine are on the menu, with cake decorating for dessert. Don’t worry, if you really want to keep your hands clean while being creative, there are several classes available across the city and in your neighbourhood that involve drawing, sketching, calligraphy and creative writing. The art of photography, which used to be messy, may have gone digital in recent years, but there are still plenty of opportunities to explore this medium in City classes. Get an introduction to the medium, sharpen your skills or simply learn how to Take Your Camera for a Walk. Fall Classes are starting now! 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.

Poverty report ranks Ontario last in Canada Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – Ontario is dead last among provinces when it comes to funding social programs, a new report revealed. An Ontario-wide coalition of almost 100 groups and organizations, called Ontario Common Front, examines growing inequity. On Aug. 29 it released Falling Behind: Ontario’s backslide into widening inequity, growing poverty and cuts to social programs. Despite having among the world’s most highly educated workers, an abundance of natural resources, and an industrial base, the report shows that Ontario is falling behind the rest of Canada in terms of growing poverty, increasing inequity and flagging financial support for public services. It blames choices made by governments, not international economic trends, for the downward spiral. “Today,” the report reads, “600,000 Ontario families find their incomes stalled or falling behind, while the richest 10 per cent gallop away with the bounty from the sustained period of economic growth stretching from the mid-1900s to 2008.” The report found that: • 40 per cent of Ontarians, 600,000 families, are struggling with incomes that are stagnant or declining; • Ontario funds all of its social programs, including health care to education, at the lowest rate in Canada; • While poverty rates fell in five provinces, Ontario had the second

highest increase in poverty rates and intensity, leaving 393,000 children in poverty (one in seven); • Ontarians pay the highest school fees, out-of-pocket health care fees and tuition fees in the country It blames both the Liberal and Progressive Conservative governments for prioritizing tax cuts for the wealthy over equality-creating public programs. Morgan Goddard is the NDP riding association president for CarletonMississippi Mills. He said there is little difference between the Liberals and PCs when it comes to spending priorities. Both believe in the myth of “austerity” meant to convince the middle and working classes to give up more just as the wealthiest take even more. “Austerity measures are not working; it’s causing greater poverty, and that’s just not right,” Goddard said. He noted that Kanata is one of the wealthiest areas of the country. But even here personal debt is piling up and two-income families are no further ahead than the one income families of the 1960s and 1970s. Goddard said the reality of trickledown economics – introduced by Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan during the early 1980s - is that kids get neglected because parents are working longer hours, communities suffer because fewer people can volunteer their time, and ecological and financial debt is loaded onto future generations. In West Carleton, where Goddard lives, poverty can be masked somewhat. But the reality is many people are

Putting bikes over cars? Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

couch surfing and using the emergency food cupboard like never before. He said the solution is to shift the burden away from the working and middle class to restoring a balance with the wealthiest. Increasing the income tax rate by one per cent of those making over $500,000 per year – about 30,000 people in Ontario – would “cover everything missing on social spending,” he added. However, Goddard admits there are plenty of catchy slogans and false arguments that convince poor people they deserve to be poor. There is the “rich people have earned their wealth” argument which often isn’t true because of inheritance laws. There is the “rich people create jobs” argument which isn’t borne out by statistics showing most jobs are created by small and medium sized businesses. There is the “government can’t do anything right” argument which blames civil servants rather than politicians who serve power elites instead of the majority of voters. “Mostly it’s that people are willing to believe what is convenient. If they don’t want to give money to the poor, it can be as simple as greed,” he said. “I think that’s a false self-interest.” Ontario Health Coalition director Natalie Mehra, primary author of the report, said the province is on a fiveyear plan to cut public sector jobs and services that will worsen the situation for everyone. She said Ontario residents are paying for the current shortfall in “hundreds of ways.” The full report can be found at weareontario.ca.

PET OF THE WEEK

EMC news - The city uses benchmarks to decide when there are so many vehicles that it needs to expand a road. Now, Ottawa is looking at creating similar benchmarks for pedestrian and bicycle traffic. As the city looks at how to move people around downtown after the city’s underground light-rail tunnel is built and operational in 2018, managing the levels of pedestrians and cyclists in the core and ensuring there is enough space for them is a priority, said Nelson Edwards, the lead planner on the city’s Downtown Moves project. On Sept. 5, Edwards told the city’s transportation committee that he’ll deliver an interim report in November. But he gave a taste of some of the ideas the Downtown Moves working group has been tossing around. Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes, whose ward comprises most of the study area, asked Edwards whether his report will look at the “level of service” philosophy as it could be applied to pedestrian and cycling traffic. While the city takes “”level of service” benchmarks for vehicle traffic very seriously, Holmes said, there is no similar metric for assessing when to add or expand pedestrian or cycling facilities. “That’s the very crux of Downtown Moves,” Edwards

said. “We will look to redistribute the space in the public rightof-way … to prioritize modes that can carry more people per square metre.” Removing a significant amount of bus traffic from downtown streets by putting light rail transit underground instead, will free up a lot of street space, Edwards said. His study will help the city decide how best to use that space. A key part of the project is responding to the needs of all street users, Edwards said. For instance, Slater Street already has a lot of storefront businesses and restaurants, Edwards said, so widening the sidewalks there would provide even more incentive for people to use that route if they are walking to get somewhere. Albert Street, which is currently bogged down by Transitway buses, could provide good opportunities to replaces buses with bicycles and pedestrians instead of buses and cars, Edward said. The final report will come in March of 2013 and include ideas to capitalize on the changes LRT will bring to the city’s core, including urban design solutions that can be used to co-ordinate streetscape proposals and road design after LRT is built. “It’s been made clear to us that… it’s the quality of the urban environment that will influence choices of how people get around downtown,” Edwards told the planning committee.

Pet Adoptions SHEEBA

CHANEL

ID#A127117

ID#A138025

Sheeba is a spayed female, brown brindle and white Pit Bull Terrier mix who is about seven years old. She was surrendered to the shelter by her owner on April 25. Sheeba loves to make friends with everyone and is very gentle and polite with strangers. She has a moderate level of energy and will be happy to go on daily walks – she has excellent leash manners. Unfortunately because of the law in Ontario, she will need to wear a muzzle when out in public. Sheeba is a very loving and respectful dog and she would appreciate the same treatment in return. She’d rather not live in a home with cats, but enjoys the company of other canines. She needs to live in a singledwelling home with a fully-fenced yard. Due to the law in Ontario concerning her breed, this is not negotiable.

I especially love to to for long rides on our Pontoon boat looking for other dogs and ducks along the shore line.

Microchips provide a permanent means of pet identification that will not fade or be lost over time. Owner information can be accessed electronically and immediately, to help ensure a quick return of the lost pet. But while a microchip is a non-removable means of pet identification, your information must be up-to-date if you want the microchip to

work. If you have moved or changed your phone number, then your lost pet may not be able to return home. If you adopted your pet from the Ottawa Humane Society or have had your pet “chipped” at one of our microchip clinics, you were given the microchip number and information about the microchip provider. Please contact us at 613-

725-3166 ext. 236 if you require assistance updating your microchip. Haven’t got your pet microchipped yet? The next OHS microchip clinic is Sunday, September 23 at the Ottawa Humane Society, 245 West Hunt Club Road.. If you would like to find out more or make an appointment, please call 613-725-3166 ext. 221.

While tags may be lost from time to time, they are still important as a quick visual means of identifying your pet. More information about microchip clinics and other community services offered by the OHS is available at www.ottawahumane.ca.
