EMC news - A group of students at Longﬁelds-Davidson Heights Secondary School say they are tired of being put in the middle of a clash between teacher unions and the provincial government. The teachers, in protest of Bill 115, the Liberal government’s legislation that freezes teacher wages, ends sick-day banking, and bans strikes for

two years, were asked by their unions to cut back on extracurricular activities such as, hosting after school clubs or other student groups, as well as ﬁeld trips. Ellise Troung, who is a Grade 11 student at Longﬁelds and a member of the student council, said the sports teams are up and running, but the drama club hasn’t started yet. Neither has the Best Buddies club – which helps provide mentorship for boys with au-

tism. “Field trips have been rescheduled and everything is just kind of up in the air,” Troung said. Troung said she didn’t want students to pay the costs of the disagreement between the government and the teachers. “We just don’t want to be in the middle,” she said. Other protests have happened at Merivale High School, John McCrae Secondary School, Cedarview Middle

School and Sir Robert Borden Secondary School, something public school board trustee Donna Blackburn said was an interesting lesson in civics. “Obviously the situation is tough, but it’s heartening to see the kids involved in politics,” Blackburn said, adding her own daughter has started Grade 9 and is also missing out on some after-school activities. Blackburn added she is proud that some of the students

to speak about the labour action have been from her zone. “It’s good to see kids from my zone informed about the issue,” she said. Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod described the walkouts as the children protesting the teachers who were protesting the government. “It’s quite a situation,” she said, adding that the province’s economic climate calls See STUDENTS, page 2

for a broad public sector wage freeze. “Obviously, it’s not something we want to do, but it was necessary with the province facing a $30-billion deficit,” she said, adding that blanket legislation dealing with all public sector groups may have been more effective than targeting groups like teachers and doctors directly. MacLeod, who also serves as the provincial education critic, said she was proud of the students in Nepean Carleton for standing up for themselves. “It’s good to see the kids involved,” she said. But for Sir Robert Bor-

den student council co-chair Caroline Esmonde-White the protests are about much more than a civics lesson. She said as a student in Grade 12, extracurricular activities are important as the kids get ready to begin their applications to university. She said the protest held by students wearing their team colours on Sept. 13 was to promote awareness and make sure students’ views didn’t get lost in the negotiations. “It’s pretty early in the year, but we normally would have had information sessions about our cross country club and our field hockey would have started up,” she said, adding the staff and adminis-

tration at the school were supportive of their efforts. “It was a peaceful protest and they were proud to have a group of dedicated students,” Esmonde-White said. Student protests were expected to continue on Sept. 17, and teachers staged their own protest on Sept. 14 in front of Premier Dalton McGuinty’s constituency office in Ottawa south. “High school memories don’t come from solving for ‘x’ in math,” Jaedie Sansom, a Grade 11 student at Longfields, said. “They come from staying late working on a play, or a teacher that helped you through some problem after school.”

EMC news – The Meakin family welcomed a new baby girl on the morning of Sept. 12. The problem was, the new addition made her appearance on the side of Greenbank Road, near the Hunt Club intersection. Lola Meakin, 30, was en route to the Queensway Car-

leton Hospital when her water broke. Her husband Mike pulled the car over to the side of the road and someone from the paramedics communication centre talked the father through the delivery. The child was born at 7:52 a.m. and arrived at the hospital three minutes later. Julia Kent, drove by the car after paramedics turned up. She was heading in to work

and traffic was backed up on the commuter route. “I remember thinking it didn’t look like an accident or anything like that,” she said. I said to myself, ‘I wonder if she had a baby,’ but dismissed it.” Judy Brown, the director of communications for the hospital, confirmed on Sept. 14 that mother and daughter had been discharged. The pair were doing well.

Welcome to the New School Year September is an exciting time of year. It is a time of renewal, a time of new beginnings, and a time to savour every single day when the sun is shining and summer is still with us. As my teenage daughters left for school on September 4, I remembered the sense of excitement and nervous anticipation I felt about returning to school. What will my classes and teachers be like? Will I make new friends?

Renewal in River Zone

As I write this article, during the second week of school, other changes are also taking place. The Ontario Government’s new Bill 115 was passed in the Legislature. This Bill effectively cuts teachers’ salaries and benefits, and stops collective bargaining between the Provincial Government and the teachers’ unions. The Bill also prevents teachers from using the usual means for protesting the imposition of this Bill. The Bill calls on School Boards to negotiate agreements with its unions before December 31, 2012. This will be challenging given that Bill 115 has already imposed major conditions that are normally part of the bargaining process. The reaction to this legislation varies from school to school across the District. As I write this article on September 14, there is little or no change in some schools. In others, many teachers have stated they will no longer be volunteering their time to run sports teams and clubs, and these activities have been suspended. On September 14, many teachers demonstrated in front of the Premier’s constituency office in Ottawa. Students have also held demonstrations, some at the Premier’s constituency office. As a mother and a Trustee, there is a silver lining to these developments. I have been impressed by the mutual respect and understanding that is evident amongst teachers, administration and students, and this is very evident in our schools in River Zone. What we are seeing is a democratic debate and expression of views in the context of a difficult and emotional environment. Before becoming a Trustee, I spent 15 years as the CEO of a national public policy organization that provided policy advice to all levels of government. My Board consisted of Deputy Ministers, business and labour leaders and senior members of the education community. Our mission was to foster better understanding and cooperation amongst these diverse groups and to reach consensus on public policy issues. We believed in mutual respect, recognition of legitimate differences and the importance of collective bargaining which is enshrined in Canada’s Bill of Rights in our Constitution. By the time you read this article, the situation in our schools may have evolved further. Given the variation amongst schools, I would encourage parents and guardians to stay in touch with your children’s Principals, and to check the Board’s website at www.ocdsb.ca for further information.

Brass Monkey to host leukemia fundraiser Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Linda Berthelet will always remember Sept. 22, 2011. It was the day her four-year-old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. “My life just shut down,” Berthelet said. Things were going well for the single mother who had just finished the waster water technician program at Algonquin College and had landed a fulltime job in her field. Alyssa had just started kindergarten and was starting to get tired a lot. By November, Alyssa was in remission, but that still meant trips to CHEO every

three months to have chemotherapy treatments injected into her spine. The cancer also works like an immuno-suppressant, so trips to the movies and the grocery became things of the past. “Thankfully my family was a big help, but I had to leave my job and Alyssa had to leave school,” Berthelet said. Things are looking up for Alyssa now. She is back at school and Berthelet is back at the lab where she was offered a job last fall. But the single mother of two wanted to do something to help other people in the

same situation. “There are so many things that you can raise money for but I wanted something that dealt with leukemia,” Berthelet said. “September is leukemia awareness and Alyssa was diagnosed in September so it fit.” A group of Alyssa’s family and friends will be participating in an annual fundraising for leukemia called Light the Night. Each year, in communities across Canada, teams or families, friends, co-workers and local and national corporations come together to raise funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada’s (LLSC’s) Light The Night Walk events and bring help and hope to people battling blood cancers. The team can be found at

The festivities will start at 7 p.m. on Sept. 30 and feature the musical stylings of the Riot Police, the Exes, Raekon and Pia Ashley. Aside from the music, there will be raffles and 50/50 draws for CDs and other band merchandise. Tickets are $10 and are available at 613_tickets@hotmail.ca or at the door. The next night, the Boston Pizza at 1681 Greenbank Road will be donating 10 per cent of the food and drink sales from 5 to 9 p.m. Berthelet suggested anyone interested in participating make an advance reservation at the restaurant. “We have really been overwhelmed by the support,” she said.

BRIDGING COMMUNITIES Ward 22 Update

Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean Potential for Gold in Scrap Metal At the most recent Environment Committee meeting, I introduced an inquiry to City Officials to ensure the City is doing all it can to capitalize on the rise in market prices of scrap metals. The City of Ottawa has a program which allows residents to recycle scrap metal at the Trail Road Waste Facility, where residents can bring clean, scrap metals. The City accepts the metals free of charge and sells them to local scrap-metal dealers. Residents commonly drop off old appliances such as stoves, dishwashers, washers, dryers, and bedrails; though any other clean metal product is accepted. In 2010, the City of Ottawa generated a total of $42,000 in revenue from the program. In 2011, due to a rise in market prices, the City was able to more than double their revenue to a total of $93,000, while receiving less tonnage. As City Council prepares for the draft 2013 City Budget, it is worth exploring whether the program can be expanded to generate additional revenue for the City. Findlay Creek Community Central Park Naming Opportunity I would like to take this opportunity to share with you a possible naming opportunity for the Findlay Creek Community Park. I am currently proposing to name it Diamond Jubilee Park. As you know, the Diamond Jubilee takes place in 2012, to commemorate 60 years of the Queen’s reign. I believe naming the new community park in Findlay Creek to recognize this significant event is a tremendous recognition for the Findlay Creek community. I also believe that this “majestic” name would be fitting given the size and scope of this wonderful central park. I am pleased at all the great work we have done as Findlay Creek continues to grow and I would like to hear the community’s feedback with respect to the proposed naming opportunity.

From left, Patrick and Sheri Leighton hold hands a press conference at Queen’s Park on Sept.13. They asked the coroner to hold an inquest into the death of their son Eric. Sheri Leighton’s tattoo of Eric can be seen on her arm.

Leighton family calls for coroner’s inquest matter what it was, he excelled at it all. To a mother’s eyes anyways, he did,” she said. She remembers his ﬁrst day of hockey “like it was yesterday. He didn’t want to go, but we threw him on the ice, and after that we couldn’t get him off.” Eric’s Junior B hockey team retired his jersey, even though he had only been with them for three months when he died. “They honoured and loved my child like there was no tomorrow. I just wish that the school board and the teacher had the same respect,” she said.

“Members from all parties came out in support of the Leightons,” MacLeod said, adding that similar calls for coroners’ inquests were made to deal with suicides in Thunder Bay. Sheri said she and her family need answers. “We were so surprised by the support from the political level,” she said of her trip to Queen’s Park. Sheri said there will never be closure, but answers from

an inquest could be the last pieces of the puzzle the family needs. “We have had no contact from the teacher and we need answers,” she said, adding that even though what happened to Eric was her worst nightmare realized, she gets through by the support of the community, family members and remembering what a good person her son was.

Back to School Time It is back to school time and I would like to remind residents to watch for the children who will be walking and cycling to and from school. The City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Police Service are reminding motorists to be cautious, drive safe and follow the rules of the road, especially near school zones and school buses. Ottawa Police will be focusing its efforts on ensuring drivers are respecting the rules of the road related to school zones and buses and I urge residents to please drive safely at all times in our community. We all have a responsibility to drive appropriately to ensure everyone’s return to school is as safe as possible.

EMC news - Patrick and Sheri Leighton are calling for a coroner’s inquest into the death of their son Eric, who was killed in explosion during his shop class in Ottawa. Eric Leighton was cutting a barrel with a hand grinder to make a barbecue for a class assignment at Mother Teresa Catholic High School in Ottawa in May 2011. Sparks ignited cleaning-solution fumes that were trapped inside and the barrel exploded. Paramedics found Eric after the blast with no vital signs. He was resuscitated en route to hospital, only to die the same day. Patrick said the shop teacher didn’t have enough knowledge about the project. “The product he was using, a cleaning product, is what killed my son,” he said. The project, making a barbecue, wasn’t on the curriculum. In August, the Ottawa Catholic District School Board was ﬁned $275,000 under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. The Leightons said they hope the coroner would make shop teachers stick to the curriculum and get another adult to approve shop project plans. The coroner has not yet accepted or rejected the family’s request for an inquest. Eric’s parents are upset with the school board and said ofﬁcials have not kept them informed about exactly what happened that day. “We just need answers to questions that we still have that nobody seems to want to step up and tell us,” said Eric’s mother, Sheri. She remembered her son as a top-notch hockey player. “He loved all sports. Didn’t

The Duke of Edinburgh Award for Young Canadians were presented to young people at the Ottawa Convention Centre. Several Ottawa students made the list of 130 who had completed the requirements for their gold level certificate. To receive the gold level Duke of Edinburgh Award, students must complete a minimum of 60 hours of community service over 12 months, a three-night camping trip, a skill development program and 50 hours of physical activity over 25 weeks.

National race week hosted in Nepean Sailors ditch wheelchairs for races on Ottawa River Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

EMC news - When Rick Watters needs to get around, he can usually be found steering his motorized wheelchair or his minivan. Given a chance though, Watters will take off in his sailboat. Watters and 35 other sail teams from across Canada and the United States left their wheelchairs and other assistive devices behind on the dock at the Nepean Sailing Club during the 2012 Mobility Cup regatta last week. With solid land exchanged for smooth water, the sailors were exceptionally mobile, at least when the wind co-operated. “I love it,” Watters said of his sailing passion. “It feels like freedom.” The sailors use a variety of adaptive devices to sail their boats. Most often a small joystick – known as a tiller stick – is used to steer, although there are boats that can be operated by people who are paralyzed from the neck down. They can use the same “sip and puff” technology to steer a boat as they use to steer a wheelchair; a device held between their lips that responds when they inhale or exhale.

On Sept. 13, the wind was blowing gently on shore but was weak in the middle of the river. “I hoped it would be six knots,” Waters said, adding sailors were barely getting 1.5 knots of wind during the morning’s gold race. Watters lives in Pickering, Ont., and has travelled as far as Rhode Island to sail. He’s been on the water for 14 years. He said sailing for people with mobility issues is easy once a sailing club adds a few key bits of equipment. A ﬂoating dock is important as that keeps the distance from dock to boat consistent. A ramp to the dock lets wheelchairs roll right down to the water and a hoist makes access to the vessels possible. But once aboard, there’s no difference between one sailor and the next. “More clubs are adding adaptive equipment,” Watters said, adding that he often sails on Lake Ontario out of Toronto Harbour or the Whitby Yacht Club. He said he’s had spills, including one where he was brieﬂy trapped upside down, and sometimes he tipped a sail into the waves, but that doesn’t deter him from getting back on the water. “You leave the wheelchair at the dock and you’re out here, part of the elements,” he said.

NEVIL HUNT/METROLAND

Wheelchairs are lined up with nothing much to do as their owners head onto the Ottawa River to compete in the 2012 Mobility on Sept. 13. The Nepean Sailing Club hosted the annual regatta last week.

“You leave the wheelchair at the dock and you’re out here, part of the elements.”

Mobility Cup sailors are divided into silver and gold classes. The gold ﬂeet includes sailors who can sail independently, while silver sailors have a companion aboard their boats, usually seated at the rear. The companion may adjust sails or shoulder check when a sharp turn is coming up. Most of the athletes are helped into their vessels by volunteers who operate small hoists that can lift the sailor as they sit in a sling. They are lifted from a wheelchair into the boat’s seat, and once in place, the Mobility Cup sailors were raring to get out on the river and start racing.

The Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge is on schedule to open next summer says Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches.

Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge on track, councillor Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – The Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge remains on track to open in August 2013, said Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches. Work on the bridge started up again this summer, after the city hired a new contractor to replace ConCreate USL, which went into receivership last spring. “The bridge is being built on the east shore in Riverside South and will be moved into place over the river this coming winter,” said Desroches. The bridge, which is to span the Rideau River connecting Strandherd Drive in Barrhaven to Earl Armstrong Road in Riverside South, was originally slated to be completed in the spring of this year. In 2010, the city and both provincial and federal levels of government set aside

a total of $48 million, shared equally between all three, for the construction of the bridge. In his website updates, Desroches said he was pleased to report that work continues to progress on the StrandherdArmstrong. “As part of this important launching process, work continues to complete the erection components on both the shore and over the river. At this time, more than half of the assembly components are now complete.” He added that the new contractor is engaged, the suppliers are working diligently, pieces are arriving on a regular basis and the welding teams have been active. “Work is progressing. It is a priority for me and it’s the number one question I get from residents in the ward. “Welding of the arches is ongoing and

Yogurt

arch pieces continue to arrive at the site as needed. The north steel deck is near completion and the south steel deck will commence work thereafter. After the decks and arches are complete, work will begin to install the stay cables.” Desroches said he remains committed and focused on completing the project. “We have to put the past behind us and focus on getting the job done,” he said. “I am working closely with city ofﬁcials to ensure the project continues to move forward and is completed as quickly as possible and to the highest quality and standards.” In June, the city announced that its bonding company had named Horseshoe Hill Construction Inc. — made up of former ConCreate employees — to complete the project. The contractor’s ﬁrst priority will be to draft a completion schedule, to be delivered in the next few weeks.

Yogurt can be delicious layered with fruit in a parfait or as a cooling side for a dish of spicy food, but it also packs a healthy dose of good bacteria that can protect the body against harmful bacteria and infections. The good bacteria are called probiotics, and studies have shown eating yogurts rich in them can lead to an improved immune response by increasing the body’s white blood cell count.

Turmeric This rich, flavourful spice has been used for centuries as part of Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicines, in addition to being used for cooking. Turmeric is found in every yellow curry, and its golden colour is the result of curcumin, a polyphenol with strong cold and flu-fighting properties. The powder also acts as an antiseptic when applied topically and is often used on cuts, burns and bruises.

Garlic Much of the immune-boosting properties of garlic come from its sulfur-containing compounds, which also give the bulb its aroma, particularly one called allicin. These compounds are effective against bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections. They also enhance the immune system and have antitumor and antioxidant features, which help guard cells from every day wear and tear.

Oregano The antioxidant activity in oregano is due to its high content of phenolic acids and flavonoids, colour compounds that are also anti-inflammatory. When eaten, oregano can protect against the common cold, influenza, fevers and indigestion. But oregano is rarely eaten alone, and the combination of the herb and other foods may contribute to its disease-fighting abilities.

City getting free light-rail advice from IBM Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - On the same day the city received three bids for builders of its lightrail system, it also welcomed a team of international experts to devise a marketing plan for land around the new rapid transit line. The IBM Smarter Cities Challenge kicked off in Ottawa on Sept. 11 with the arrival of six experts who have never met, but who will live together in Ottawa for three weeks while devising a strategy to advertise transit hubs as attractive places for developers to build residential and commercial buildings. Dense housing and businesses around LRT stations will be critical to boosting ridership levels on the $2.1-billion LRT line from Blair to Tunney’s Pasture, set to be completed by 2017. “We are good at plans, but we need a marketing strategy that entices private investors to invest along those corridors,” planning committee chairman Peter Hume said during the committee’s Sept. 11 meeting. “This will help build Ottawa’s new destination neighbourhoods and set the stage for future development.” The IBM team will come up with marketing plans specifically for stations at Train,

St. Laurent and Cyrville, but those plans will be transferable to other areas that will be ripe for development when LRT arrives. Deputy city manager Nancy Schepers said the exercise will set the stage for Ottawa’s future. “This will look at how the LRT will influence how our economy grows,” she said. Beyond the economic impact, light rail has huge citybuilding potential, Schepers said. “It can reshape and revitalize existing neighbourhoods and create complete communities,” she said. “We are keenly aware of the community-building aspects of LRT.” EXPERTS

IBM provided a team of its executives to conduct interviews and do research as they create a marketing plan over their three-week project. “The city is reaching a tipping point where this info is going to become more critical to the city’s future,” said Norm Chatelier, a spokesperson for the team. The other members of the team include Kate Chess, a “worldwide solutions executive” with IBM who oversees international business and infrastructure sales who has previously worked as a customer

relationship manager. Another member, Hamid Khafagy, oversees the government sector for the development of IBM’s complex technical solutions based in Dubai. Louise Plourde, another team member, serves as the business transformation and IT executive for IBM Canada. Michael Stevens is a senior marketing manager in IBM’s software group and the government market segment manager for IBM’s information management division. His work concentrates on using information analytics to create smarter governments. Leslie Thomas is an expert in solving large and complex organizational and performance issues. She also has a decade of experience in each of the retail and banking sectors. The last member of the team, Zena Washington, is a global marketing manager with IBM Social Solutions. She is in charge of social business messaging and marketing strategy for governments and the education industry. In the past, she has worked with governments to identify innovative solutions for social collaboration. Their advice would be worth about $400,000 but the city will get it for free. The experts sent by IBM

The study could recommend whether public investment is required to meet the

needs of the current – and future – population of the city. This year’s IBM Smarter Cities Challenge was announced on March 15 and Ottawa is one of two Canadian cities that were selected. Ottawa and Surrey, B.C., are the two Canadian cities

among the 100 worldwide selected for the 2012 Smarter Cities Challenge. Since it began three years ago, 100 cities such as St. Louis, Philadelphia, Helsinki and Sapporo, Japan have utilized similar expertise from IBM worth around $50 million.

Casino downtown

A LOSING MOVE Feeling lucky? If you said no, you’re probably following the Ontario government’s plan to move slot machines out of racetracks by March 31, 2013. Taxpayers in Ontario benefit from nearly $1 billion a year sent to essential services from the slots. Since they’ve been in place, the OLG Slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway alone have generated $643 million for the provincial government that is specifically earmarked for health care in the province. The government is hoping this good fortune gets even better by taking the show downtown. This is more than a bad break for the people of Ottawa— it’s bad business.

OLG’s 2010 Net Profit 11% 49% 40%

The slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway produce $70 million annually for Ontario taxpayers. By contrast, despite being only 2.5 km from downtown Ottawa, the slots and gaming tables at Casino Lac-Leamy earned a net profit of $5 million less than that in 2011. The costs of doing business downtown are significantly higher and make profit return harder to manage. The large Casino Lac-Leamy has 400 more slot machines. Everyone in Ontario has an interest in seeing these earnings from the Rideau Carleton Raceway slots upheld.

fundraisers and entertainment shows that have been thriving over the past 12 years.

Since slot machines were introduced to the Rideau Carleton Raceway in 2000, they have generated $52 million for the City of Ottawa. Council has said this revenue helps keep property taxes lower for all residents. The venue is also an ideal location for the fairs,

These numbers are possible because the Rideau Carleton Raceway site is easily accessible at the south end of Ottawa, and it has low operating costs and 2500 free parking spaces. In return, more money flows back to the city and Ontario taxpayers.

From slots at racetracks From lotteries and bingos From casinos

The people of Ottawa are smart spenders and need to speak up. They resent paying for parking. They like quality food at affordable prices. Above all, they hate seeing their tax dollars lost on bad investments. Send your concerns to your City Councillor today!

EMC events - A group of Ottawa-area children are about to embark on the trip of a lifetime. Dreams Take Flight Ottawa is a not-for-proﬁt charitable organization offering a oneday trip for physically, mentally or socially challenged children to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. This year’s trip is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 25. Since 1995, Dreams Take Flight Ottawa has given special needs children an incredible day where they can be carefree and make memories to last forever. Thee kids are treated to a wonderful day at the happiest place on earth – Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. In anticipation of this year’s trip, the 16th since 1995, an orientation day was held Sunday, Sept. 9, at the Canada Science and Technology Museum for volunteers, children and their parents, as well as members of the media who will be making the whirlwind journey. According to Caroline Barnett, this year’s day of ﬂight director for the organization, the magical experience is made possible by generous sponsors and volunteers. “The big difference is the dedicated volunteers,” she said. “Our entire executive is volunteer. It is 100 per cent volunteer run. No one gets paid to do any of this.” This year’s trip will cost $195,000 and wouldn’t be possible without assistance from organizations like Air Canada, which is donating the plane for the trip and Shell, which is donating the fuel. Other corporate sponsors like the clothing chain Mark’s, Crocs and Bentley, who have stepped up to assist with clothing, shoes and backpacks for volunteers and children. And even more sponsors support the trip and the charity in other ways. Various fundraising events held over the course of the year help top up coffers so that everything is paid for on the trip. Children also get spending money to bring home a Disney souvenir. Barnett said even though the big trip lasts for only one day, everyone is dedicated year-round to making it happen. “A lot of us have done this or participated with other charities and they just see this as such a viable charity and such an important charity,” she said. The visit to Walt Disney World is a long one, lasting nearly 24 hours. Children and volunteers will depart for Florida at 5:30 a.m., and return to Ottawa just before midnight, spending nine hours at the Magic Kingdom. “It’s a long day,” Barnett said. Volunteers, children and parents were advised that Florida in September is hot

Jack Layton’s passing one year ago was a great challenge for me having considered him a colleague, mentor and dear friend. It was wonderful to see people come together to support one another after his passing, especially since many were young people with big aspirations and goals for the future. One of Jack’s most profound legacies is his dream of a better Canada for our youth. In his letter to Canadians, he speciﬁcally addressed young people and said “youth need to be at the heart of our economy, our political life, and our plans for the present and the future.” Since Harper’s election to majority government, little has been done to address the soaring costs of postsecondary education and the crippling debt associated with these expenses, or the high level of youth who are unemployed or underemployed.

Last year it was (45 C) all day,” Barnett advised, adding a doctor and two nurses do accompany travellers. This will mark Barnett’s third Dreams Take Flight trip to Disney and she said each experience is incredibly mov-

ing and uplifting for all involved. “It is unbelievable. It is the looks on the kids’ faces. It is just everything. It means so much to them,” said Barnett. “Some of these kids go through a lot of things (and) this day away is just a way for them to be kids again.” Dreams Take Flight Ottawa

uses speciﬁc criteria to select children for the trip. All are between the ages of six and 12 and have never visited a Disney theme park before. “It is challenging but very rewarding,” Barnett said of the logistics of the one-day trip. “I am really looking forward to the ﬂight and seeing everything run smoothly.”

The recent 2012 Budget offered no new money to offset rising tuition costs. According to Statistics Canada, on average, undergraduate students in Ontario paid the highest fees ($6,640) in the country for the 2011-2012 academic year followed by students in New Brunswick (who paid $5,853). The government also quietly removed the $15 billion student loan ceiling and removed Parliament’s oversight of lending limits. Furthermore, there were signiﬁcant cuts to the Social Sciences and Research Council, as well as the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, which will severely limit research opportunities for post-graduate students. Increasing opportunities for young Canadians to attend college and university is vital for growth and innovation in Canada. According to recent research produced by the National Council of Welfare, a now defunct organization courtesy of the Budget, university graduates represent just 22% of the population but 41% of income tax paid. Investing in post-secondary education opportunities for youth just makes sense! Unfortunately, the workforce has also been unwelcoming to recent graduates. Sadly, we see from recent numbers released by Statistics Canada that in July 2012 alone, monthly job losses were the second highest they’ve been since 2009. Those who’ve been hit the hardest are young people, who often fail to qualify for Employment Insurance, and are caught in the catch twenty-two position of not having the experience for a particular job, but requiring the experience offered by the job to boost their skill set.

New Democrats continue to focus on these inequities. We recently introduced Bill C-265, The Canada PostSecondary Education Act, calling on Parliament to establish criteria and conditions with respect to postsecondary education funding. In the last election, we also announced our plans to offset tuition costs with a designated $800 million transfer to the provinces and territories; increasing the funding to the Canada Student Grants Program by $200 million targeting accessibility for Aboriginal, disabled and low-income students; as well as raising the education tax credit.

In terms of job creation for young people, my colleagues and I would like to see more investment in job training and apprenticeship programs so that youth can acquire the skills and training that they need. We would also like to see creation of hiring incentives for employers, a reduction in the small business tax rate from 11% to 9%, as well as implementing a Job Creation Tax Credit that will provide up to $4,500 per new hire. New Democrats would also re-introduce the federal minimum wage law to set a national standard for those earning the lowest wages in our workforce, which are often young people. When the House resumes in the fall, New Democrats will be ready to hold Stephen Harper’s government to account for its inaction on improving prospects for young people in our country. R0011624163

Tax help for farmers Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Anthony Korutowski, 6, shakes Mayor Jim Watson’s hand as he arrives for the street renaming for his father, Eric Czapnik.

EMC news - In an effort to help drought-stricken farmers, city council has extended property tax deadlines until next spring. The extension applies to farmers who participate in the city’s Farm Grant Program and allows farmers to pay their taxes by April 25, 2013 instead of December 6, 2012. The interim property tax due date has also been extended

to April 25, 2013. Farm Grant Program participants will also get a grant to cover any penalties and fees they would have been hit with starting at the original tax due date. Mayor Jim Watson told city council that he was very pleased the city has found a way to assist farmers who are facing “extraordinary circumstances.” Between 500 and 800 of the city’s 4,000 eligible farm properties usually participate in the Farm Grant Program each year, at a cost of

around $30,000 for the city to administer. In order to be eligible, the land must be classified as farmland by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) and it must not be owned by a commercial enterprise. The motion approved by city council on Sept. 12 also indicated that the city will look at reducing rent for local city-run farmers’ markets and the possibility of providing water to farms where wells have run dry.

Street named for Eric Czapnik Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Eric Czapnik was a determined man, shifting career paths at age 48 to achieve his goal of becoming a police officer. So having a street named Eric Czapnik Way is fitting, said his son, Lukasz Galazk. “I know my father’s watching right now and probably has the biggest smile on his face, because he always liked things to go his way,” Galazk said. “And now he can – he got Czapnik’s Way.” The street adjacent to the Orléans community police station off St. Joseph Boulevard, running between the station and the Quality Inn, was officially renamed Eric Czapnik Way on Sept. 13. Czapnik, who worked from the Orléans station, was fatally stabbed while on duty outside the Civic hospital in the early morning of Dec. 29, 2009. His window, Anna Korutowska, and children Lukasz Galazk, Catherine Czapnik and Anthony Korutowski, arrived in a police escort at the unveiling ceremony. Arthur Czapnik, his son, was unable to attend. “We want the name, Eric Czapnik Way, to be a reminder to everybody to pursue your dreams and never give up on what you really want to do,” Bordeleau said. “It’s a message to our young people as well, that it’s never too late to pursue your dreams,” said police Chief Charles Bordeleau.

EMC news - A new exhibition from the Council for the Arts in Ottawa offered four young girls the chance of a lifetime. The council is presenting A Gallery of Portraits, a photography exhibit showcasing the work of four teens at the Arts Court in downtown Ottawa from Sept. 14 to Oct. 14. The project is the brain child of Julie Hodgson, a former senior projects manager at the National Gallery of Canada. When the Council for the Arts asked her to curate a show, Hodgson decided to make it something geared towards youth participation. The retired curator took four girls ages 14 to 17 under her wing for a year and created a program where the young photographers worked with Hodgson and veteran photographers from the University of Ottawa and the School of Photographic Arts in Ottawa to learn about photographic techniques, how to work with different subjects, printing and matting. “My dream is to be a National Geographic photographer,” said 17 year-old artist Freya Poirer. Poirer and her classmates, Emma Rath, Maya Wilson and Rawaa Ayoub formed the small group who participated in the pilot project. Hodgson, who is a photography lover, jumped at the chance to use images as the medium for the exhibition. “I love photographs, I loved portraits and loved working with young people,” Hodgson said. In the beginning, Hodgson said she had hoped to work with at least 12 students, but after speaking with professors and teachers with a background in photography, she decided four would make it easier to work one-on-one with. Hodgson asked various youth organizations across the city to choose the students – she was open to both male and female candidates – who would participate. Once her four students were chosen, Hodgson started the program. The girls first spent time with Michael Schreier, a professional photographer and former director of visual arts

and photography at the University of Ottawa, who taught the girls an overview of photography and portraiture and also led two in-depth critiques of their work. Hodgson then approached Michael Tardiol, the director of the School of Photographic Arts in Ottawa, to give a session on printing. Tardioli and his staff held a one-day workshop in Photoshop and allowed the artists to print their images. The girls also learned how to cut mats and were loaned frames from the school to frame their art for the exhibition. Poirer said this was an amazing project to take part in. “This was a huge opportunity for me,” Poirer said. “It definitely helped me expand my skills.” Poirer credited both the classes with Schreier and Tardioli to her new-found skill sets. “I learned so much and I am

Curvy Girls celebrate a year of scoliosis support Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Decked out in pink and proud, Ottawa’s Curvy Girls celebrated one year of being the only scoliosis support group of its kind in Canada on Sept. 16. The monthly support group proudly displayed what it means to be a “cuvy girl” in a Golden Triangle church basement, revealing what its like to live with a spine curvature. Scoliosis is no longer screened for in Canada, but three to ﬁve per cent of children will be diagnosed with scoliosis, and one to three per cent of those children – mostly girls – will require treatment with a back brace. The technology used to make the braces hasn’t really changed for half a century, said Joe O’Brien, president of the National Scoliosis Foundation, and that’s what makes Curvy Girls so much more important than a regular support group. The groups, the ﬁrst of which was founded in the state of New York in 2006, show

girls they are not alone and increase the likelihood that girls will use their braces properly and stay committed to exercises that can help stop the progression of the deforming curve in their spines. “There is nothing more exciting than this group,” said O’Brien, who is himself a scoliosis patient and has been heavily involved in scoliosis organizations and research his entire life. “That bonding, that support, is very powerful.” Danielle Denisko, who founded the Ottawa chapter, said she wanted the group to give girls a way to feel conﬁdent and ﬁt in with their peers. “We started this initiative to make sure that one day, coast to coast, everyone would know what scoliosis is and no one would have to feel alone,” said Denisko, who is from Barrhaven. Laureen Harper, wife of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, came out to lend her support to the girls. “It’s just very helpful for the girls with scoliosis to meet and trade secrets,” Harper said.

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Laureen Harper, wife of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, joined members of the Ottawa chapter of the Curvy Girls scoliosis support group to celebrate the group’s first anniversary on Sept. 16. “Nobody ever likes to feel alone.” Such support is particularly important for girls who must undergo surgery (often to fuse the spine) to halt the advance of the curvature in extreme cases. Denisko and seven other girls – and their parents – ﬁrst met last September and there

are more than 16 girls in the group now. Local physiotherapist Andrea Lebel helped found the group because she saw a need for her patients to share information. More so than with almost any other condition or disease, sharing knowledge is critical to successful scoliosis treatment,

O’Brien said. That’s because the condition is “idiopathic,” meaning it cannot be traced to one cause. Everyone’s scoliosis is different and is caused by a different genetic or environmental trigger, and that’s not something the medical profession is well-equipped to deal with. All scoliosis patients tend

to be treated the same way, whereas one girl’s condition might react very differently to a type of treatment than another girl. Furthermore, each girl might have several different doctors – a family doctor, chiropractor, physiotherapist and more – telling her to do different things. “We have the most confused patient community out there, and it’s because of the doctors we see,” O’Brien said. “It adds to our burden.” Leah Stoltz of Long Island, N.Y., was well aware of that burden when she founded Curvy Girls in 2006. Soon after, other girls followed suit and 32 groups sprung up across the United States. The Ottawa chapter was the ﬁrst group to make the movement international. “Scoliosis is two parts: the physical and the emotional. The emotional part often gets overlooked,” Stoltz said. “We are the emotional brace.” Curvy Girls Ottawa can be found on Facebook or at www.curvygirlsscoliosis.com/ groups/ottawa-ca.html.

EMC sports - When Chris McComber decided to hang up his competitive lacrosse cleats and focus on basketball, he knew there would be future

athletic opportunities. The former lacrosse player started playing competitive for the Ottawa Next Level elite basketball club in Grade 9. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get kids playing basketball and lacrosse, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not two sports

you combine,â&#x20AC;? said his coach, Dave DeAveiro. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now represented Canada internationally twice, and the John McCrae Secondary School Grade 12 student is going to have a lot of options when the time to choose a university comes. McComber, a 6-foot7 guard, is being recruited by Canadian and American schools to play university basketball. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique to have a 6-foot-7 guard, as usually the

bring (the intensity) to every practice because everyone else will follow suit.â&#x20AC;? In 2011, McComber led players with 15 rebounds and 11 points at the FIBA Americans U-16 Championship. That showing qualified the team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including McComber â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U-17 World Championship in Lithuania. The team came fifth, which was an accomplishment for the Canadians, McComber said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having the experience helped me understand what I had to do,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that training this year with a university basketball coach will help him understand the level he needs to be at to be competitively recruited.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;He makes sure Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at the top of the game, and take the right steps because obviously he knows what it takes to get to the next level,â&#x20AC;? McComber said of DeAveiro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to be a leader for the other guys, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like my leader.â&#x20AC;? Outside of training with his school and club teams, he trains on his own for at least an hour every day to develop his skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basketballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not his first sport, his sport is lacrosse, so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still learning the instincts and the finer points of the game. For Chris, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always about learning,â&#x20AC;? DeAveiro said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He works really hard trying to do that.â&#x20AC;? McComber will write his standardized entrance exams this year to keep his options open of playing for both American and Canadian schools. Even playing at home in Ottawa hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been ruled out yet. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s striving to eventually play professionally, either in the National Basketball Association or in one of several professional European leagues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to keep the options open, and just keep working towards all these goals,â&#x20AC;? he said.

tallest players on the team are positioned closer to the basket. DeAveiro, head coach of the McGill University menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team and McComberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, the U-19 Ottawa Next Level, said that the teen will be heavily recruited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are definitely recruiting him at McGill,â&#x20AC;? DeAveiro said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a number of U.S. colleges, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure all the (Canadian) schools will be looking at him as well.â&#x20AC;? The Ottawa Next Level is a team that regularly travels to the Greater Toronto Area to take on Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a chance to win the league title last year, and this year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to win it, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to make sure that we come out on top,â&#x20AC;? he said. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the same high hopes for his basketball team at John McCrae, and said he thinks this is the year that they can bring home a city title. Having the chance to play for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U-17 team has taught him lessons that he hopes will carry over to his Ottawa teammates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking to take on more of a leadership role with all the experience that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gained,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to make sure you

Fifteen city advisory groups slashed to five Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

FILE

City council has reduced the number of advisory groups to five. Brocklebank likened the restructuring to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mercy killing.â&#x20AC;?

The city has allowed the advisory committees to wither and become irrelevant, and

done a little bit too much streamlining and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone too far. Heritageâ&#x20AC;Ś is one area in particular thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone too far,â&#x20AC;? he said during the Sept. 12 council meeting. Donnelly said council members who sit on that committee will become â&#x20AC;&#x153;heritage advocatesâ&#x20AC;? for heritage issues when they come to committee and city council. The heritage subcommittee will include councillors Peter Clark (whose Rideau-Rockcliffe Ward includes two heritage conservation districts), Katherine Hobbs, (a member of the planning committee and councillor for Kitchissippi Ward), Scott Moffatt (the rural representative, from RideauGoulbourn Ward) and planning

committee vice chairwoman Jan Harder (Barrhaven) in addition to three members of the public. Many things have changed since the city amalgamated in 2001, when the advisory committees were established, a city report states. Access to technology and the availability of social media tools are changing how residents interact with the city and politicians, and other engagement strategies such as summits and departmental working groups have proven more successful, according to a report from the city clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce. A broader report about citizen engagement is expected be discussed by city committees in December.

EMC news - City council has approved slashing the number of citizen advisory groups at city hall from 15 to ďŹ ve. The move also shifted The Ottawa Built Heritage Advisory Committee (OBHAC) from an advisory group to a subcommittee of planning committee mostly comprised of councillors, and a seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; group will become an annual round table event instead. The changes are aimed at saving $190,000 annually. When the matter was discussed by a joint ďŹ nance and governance committee on Aug, 30, Glebe resident Bob

killing them is the ďŹ nal stage, Brocklebank said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Put advisory committees out of their misery,â&#x20AC;? he said. Creating a heritage subcommittee that includes more city councillors than citizen experts is a move that has come under ďŹ re from heritage advocates. The deputy city clerk, Lesley Donnelly, says the city has had continuous issues recruiting good members for the built heritage advisory committee, so lowering the number of members and elevating it to a subcommittee should help attract the kind of candidates the city is looking for, Donnelly told councillors. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t convinced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My sense is that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

Students enjoy hands-on history at Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill Museum pilot project could lead to new citywide education model Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - A class of Grade 4 Manotick Public School students got down and dirty at Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill last week, as part of a pilot partnership between the museum and a local school to bring history to life. The class visited the mill each morning between Sept. 10 and Sept. 14, getting a hands-on learning experience where they could see and touch the history they were learning about, mill manager Isabelle Geoffrion said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special about it is all of that learning is done at the museum,â&#x20AC;? Geoffrion said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really exciting for us because there have been some projects like this across the country and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bringing

this to Ottawa.â&#x20AC;? The pilot project has been spearheaded by the Ottawa Museum Network, which brings together 10 community museums across the city including Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill. The project is modeled on successful programs in Calgary and London, Ontario, which allow teachers to create custom-made programs to suit their classroomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speciďŹ c needs. While the program touches on many curriculum links, the week-long program offers much more than the two-hour curriculum-based programs currently offered at most community museums in the city, Geoffrion said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s established with the site, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a more meaningful relationship with our schools,â&#x20AC;? Geoffrion said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands-on learning but it addresses the

Staff from Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill, the Ottawa Museum Network and Manotick Public School worked together to develop a pilot educational program for museums across the city. Two classes from the Manotick school spent a week of mornings at the mill getting messy and learning first-hand about the millâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. The pilot program will hopefully turn into a city-wide model for museums in the network to have schools develop custom, curriculum-based learning for their students. curriculum.â&#x20AC;? Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill hosted the pilot, which continued this week with another Manotick Public School class, because educational ofďŹ cer Cam Trueman has experience with the

model from his time out west. Manotick Public School principal Andrew Nordman has worked with the model as well. The pilot, if successful, will be introduced to the rest of the

museums in the network likely in the spring, said OMN executive director Laura Giberson. HANDS-ON HISTORY

seemed to be having a good time on Tuesday, Sept. 11. Peter Hutchinson, 9, said it was likely his â&#x20AC;&#x153;5,589th time at the mill,â&#x20AC;? but he was still learning a lot. He said he was looking forward to the rest of the week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to learn how lots of stuff works, and the history of the people,â&#x20AC;? he said. Sophia Mestern, 9, said she was particularly interested in what 19th century workers were able to do without the help of modern machinery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really cool what people could do in those days. They could build really high,â&#x20AC;? she said. Outside, local artist and Osgoode Township Museum president Gary Briggs helped students build a clay oven which they later used to bake pizzas made with ďŹ&#x201A;our milled on site. Fiona Nesbit was one of the ďŹ rst to take her shoes and socks off to mix the clay beneath her feet, although she said the cold clay was â&#x20AC;&#x153;like walking on sticky ice.â&#x20AC;?

Yoga marathon to help raise money for celiac association Event aims to raise much needed funds and awareness for the disease Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - A local celiac association will hold its first activity driven fundraiser in the Glebe to help raise awareness and money for the charity. The Ottawa Chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association announced it will hold a Yogathon for celiac disease at Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fred Astaire Dance Studio, 149 Second Ave. on Sept. 22. Vice-president of the Ottawa chapter, Mark Johnson, said connecting a healthy activity to a disease to promote fundraising and awareness

made sense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a healthy activity, being tied to the celiac association; it made sense to connect healthy activities to a healthy cause,â&#x20AC;? he said. The event, Johnson added, is aiming to have at least 100 people participate throughout the day. There will be a variety of yoga styles, including hatha, yin and ashtanga during the marathon yoga session. Participants will also have the chance to win door prizes. One of the goals of the fundraiser is to better educate people about celiac disease and gluten-sensitivity. Celiac disease affects one

per cent of Canadians and it is estimated six per cent of Canadians are gluten-sensitive. Gluten refers to the protein found in wheat, rye, barley, triticale and oats. Those diagnosed must steer clear of any food with any amount of gluten because it makes the body unable to absorb nutrients, such as protein, fat and carbohydrates. The ingestion of gluten can cause nutritional deficiencies, blistering skin rash and an increased risk of other autoimmune diseases, such as Type 1 diabetes. There is no cure for celiac disease, but is treatable by following a strict diet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three million Canadians suffer from celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, and this fundraiser will help ensure

there is safe labeling for gluten-free food,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. Gluten-free food in grocery stores has come a long way, Johnson added, with the association working with Health Canada since 1994 to ensure food marked gluten-free are properly labeled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Safe labeling is certainly making a difference, but some of the problems celiac individuals still face, is dining out â&#x20AC;Ś not everyone in the food industry or family and friends understands just the smallest amount can make someone sick,â&#x20AC;? he said. Some of the progress with safe-labeling, Johnson said includes a pilot project in Prince Edward Island to provide information and education for food servers in retirement homes and the development of

courses for food service workers on how gluten-free food should be prepared safely and without contamination. Johnson said he hopes events like this fundraiser will help raise awareness of the disease and help fund some of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charity activities to help educate people. The organization is not new to fundraising. Each month at the Riverside churches of Ottawa, members have the opportunity to gather for pot lucks, nutritional

meetings and speaker series. Johnson, diagnosed with celiac disease himself, encourages all newly diagnosed individuals to join and attend information sessions held at the church. Participants are encouraged to pre-register online at www.celiac.ottawa.on.ca. The yoga-thon will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22. Donations of $15 for the first hour of yoga, and $10 for each subsequent hour are requested.

Child prodigy to perform fundraiser for food cupboard Show to kick off North American tour Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - A South African cellist who specializes in improvisational music will perform a charity concert for the Kanata Food Cupboard at St. John’s Anglican Church in Katimavik on Sept. 28.

Francois Roux will begin his six-week North American Tour with a performance in Katimavik. Roux is known as the Ha!MAN – “ha” is a breath that brings body and mind into fresh relation, said the musician on his website. Based in South Africa, Roux has been a cellist and

pianist for two decades with a background in classical music. He preforms concerts and workshops around the world. “He’s a very innovative, very creative man,” said Gordon Walt, the charity concert’s organizer. Roux loves to share his talent with others, said Walt. “He sings he dances, he makes these strange noises, he plays the cello,” he said. “He’s a master of improvisation. “He pre-records some

sounds on his equipment and he’ll play the cello over top of these sounds – it’s extremely innovative.” Admission to the concert is free, but those who attend are asked to bring a contribution for the Kanata Food Cupboard, which will be placed at the church’s worship area. A free will offering – taken to help defray the musician’s travel costs – will be taken at the end of the performance. Roux performed at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Kanata during the Thanksgiv-

ing weekend last year, which resulted in a low turnout, said Walt. “That’s why it’s earlier this year,” he said. “I’m hoping

we’ll have at least 100 people this year.” Walt has contacted the music departments of all the high schools in Kanata to inform them about the upcoming concert. “He loves to have young people (from) music programs,” said Walt. The Ha!MAN concert will be held at St. John’s Anglican Church, located at 20 Young Rd., Katimavik, on Sept. 28, starting at 8 p.m. For more information visit www.hamanworld.com. R0011610117_0920

Band storms back to Carp Fair Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - There’s little chance the weather will play cheap tricks on the Carp Fair’s headliner this year, seeing that the legendary rock band is playing indoors at the rink. But Ottawa weather, specifically the freak storm that blew Cheap Trick offstage during Ottawa Bluesfest last year, injuring four, is the furthest thing from Tom Petersson’s mind. “Oh, that. Naw, we don’t have any reservations,” Petersson said in a phone interview from his home in Nashville. “Look, we play a lot of places. I’d love to go back to Ottawa.” Band driver Sandy Sanderson was the most injured during the storm that toppled the entire stadium as they closed out with the song, I Want You To Want Me. Much of the band’s equipment was destroyed, but Sanderson has managed to recover. “He’s doing fine,” said Petersson. “He’s all right now.” Petersson’s memories are fond ones, wandering about the market enjoying India food, appreciating the wide variety of music played on Canadian radio stations. Canada was one of the first countries to embrace Cheap Trick way back in the early 1970s, something that isn’t lost on the bassist and other core members Rob Zander (vocals,

rhythm guitar), and Bun E. Carlos (drums). They keep up to date with Can-Con talent such as Fiest, Arcade Fire, and even smaller indie bands like The Weakerthans – prompting Petersson to mention that Canucks are like the English in that they punch far above their weight when it comes to music. “It’s really great stuff coming out of Canada, a really interesting music scene,” he said. “And the stations don’t just do the cookie-cutter stuff.” Many observers have lamented the so-called death of rock’n’roll, but not Petersson. He sees it as just the opposite. Great music is available everywhere, not like when he was a kid in the U.S. scrambling to ﬁnd reviewers who would assure him such-and-such a performer or band was worth the money; then travelling to a distant record store that might or might not have the record. “It’s not dead. I’m kinda surprised it’s doing so well. It’s everywhere,” he said. “Today you can release your own recordings, be your own promo machine; it’s the exact opposite of dead. When we were kids there was no information anywhere. Now there’s so much it’s crazy.” If anything there’s a fear that – like the consumption of news – people are focusing too narrowly on what interests them, at the expense of enjoying collec-

tive variety and curiosity about new ideas, he said; adding that the embracement of new music is the source of youth. Petersson asked a number of questions about Carp and the fair during the interview, appearing interested in what to expect when the band arrived. He was impressed to hear of the village’s history and the experience of fair organizers. But in exchange, he made no commitments when it comes to what the crowd can expect to see. “We just kinda wing it,” he said. “We get the (song) list together on the spot. It frustrates the crew a little. They want the list early and would like to keep it the same. But we’ll sometimes want to try something new, or something that we haven’t done in a long time.” There’s a good chance fans will hear classics like Surrender, Dream Police, and The Flame but beyond that it could be anything from the 1978 megahit Cheap Trick Live at Budokan album or from their 15 other albums. Ticket buyers can also expect to be wowed by their talent. Cheap Trick is known for its use and large collection of unusual and vintage guitars and basses. Cheap Trick plays the Carp Fair on Friday, Sept. 21, with Paper Lions opening. The concert starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the Carp Fair Ofﬁce or through Capital Tickets.

Prayers get family through MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories beat me to it. Mother would wait until we had all settled down around her knee, our eyes closed and our hands in steeples, and then she would begin. Her first prayers were ones we said every night. Exactly the same, word for word. And I wondered back then if God got bored listening to the same prayers over and over again. When those prayers were finished, we then said special prayers for everything such as rain, good crops, a bountiful vegetable garden and a good day of selling door-todoor in Renfrew. And mother never forgot the old woman who lived alone in Renfrew, Granny Hines on the next farm, and the minister’s wife, who mother thought was a saint! They were all part of our nightly prayers. And then of course we were expected to come up with our own prayers when all the group praying was over. That idea came to a great and glorious end when Emerson prayed that something evil would befall his very worse enemy at the Northcote School. Mother said, what we would do instead was pray silently to ourselves. I asked her how God would hear us if we didn’t say the prayers out loud. Mother assured me, He would be well aware of my

silent prayers. And so began a lifetime of silent praying. Our Lutheran minister certainly didn’t believe in silent prayers, I thought back then. In fact his prayers were so loud, at the time I figured they could hear them in the United church a stone’s

“...It was the prayers, in whatever form they were given, that were what really got us through the Dirty Thirties.” throw away. And I wondered if your prayers had an advantage if you took on the pained look that came across our minister’s face whenever he opened his mouth. I asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey if she thought he had sore feet, because not only did he have a pained look on his face, he had the habit of rocking from one foot to the other. To be honest, I was so intrigued with the minister when he was praying that I couldn’t take my eyes off him, when in fact, I was supposed to be sitting in the pew ramrod straight, in deep concentra-

tion. Audrey said it had nothing to do with sore feet.’ It had to do with the sincerity of the message. I had no idea what my sister was getting at, so I just had to sit there, Sunday after Sunday with my own thoughts. And then it occurred to me that maybe there was something to this silent prayer business. After all, if a whole lot of people were doing it at the same time, that alone should have an impact and greatly impress God. And so praying silently became part of my life. I’m afraid I wasn’t very good at it to start. I was praying for things that I had seen in the five and dime store window in Renfrew, and even prayed one time that bad Marguirite would move to another country. When none of these things came about, I decided I had to change what I was praying for. We also prayed every morning at the Northcote School. Right after Miss Crosby read a verse from the Bible, she said the Lord’s Prayer, and we repeated it after her. One day I realized we did a lot of praying out there in Northcote...there were the graces at every meal, morning prayers at the Northcote School, our nightly prayers around mother’s knee at night, and the silent prayers each of us were encouraged to offer. I thought back then, with the Depression closed in around us like a tight vice, and every day a struggle for survival, it was the prayers, in whatever form they were given, that were what really got us through the Dirty Thirties.

e learned to pray at a very early age. Mother was a firm believer in prayer. Father, not so much. Oh, he was a believer in God, but he often wondered why, when we were doing all the right things, we were still poor as church mice. Why we lost several cows when lightning hit the big maple tree on the west hill under which the cows were seeking refuse in a storm was another question he asked. So other than grace at the table at meal time, father pretty well left the praying up to mother. Although mother was raised a Catholic, she became a Lutheran when she married father. Nevertheless, when she felt she needed a special prayer answered, she wasn’t above resorting to her rosary beads. But she always made it clear to us five children, it wasn’t a case of what you used when praying, it was how often, and how fervently you did so. And so every night before we went to bed, we were marched upstairs to what Emerson irreverently called “the scrunch corner”. That was because we all had to scrunch down around mother’s knee when she settled into the old rocking chair that sat under the window in the corner of the room. It was in my sister Audrey’s and my bedroom, which was really the upstairs hall, and it was hardly big enough to hold all of us. I always tried to get in the middle, because then I could rest my head on mother’s knee, but Emerson usually

EMC news - The idea for Take a Veteran to Dinner Night was born of a desire to show appreciation of the efforts and sacriďŹ ces of Canadian veterans in past and current conďŹ&#x201A;icts. This non-partisan event is simply an opportunity for community members to personally thank area veterans

and their spouses by treating them to dinner. That is, a host buys a veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ticket as well as their own and both host and veteran attend the dinner together. Hosts often invite veteran and spouse couples when appropriate. The event will occur on Oct. 21, at Tudor Hall. Cocktails will

be available starting at 5 p.m., with dinner following at 6 p.m. Tickets are $50 per person, but there is no cost for veterans and their spouses. The evening will include an introduction of veterans in attendance, a dinner and a guest speaker. For information, please visit www. veteransdinner.ca.

Ottawa man lighting the night for leukemia cure Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - A Greely cancer survivor is spearheading this year’s Light the Night walk to find a cure for leukemia and other blood cancers. Craig Peleshok was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia in September 2008, and four years later he is trying to end the cycle of cancer forever. While recovering from his third and final round of chemotherapy in January 2009, Peleshok saw a commercial for Montreal’s Light the Night five-kilometre walk, which is one of many organized across the country by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. He called the information line to ask when Ottawa’s walk would take place, and discovered the capital didn’t have one. “For a year I tried to get a walk to Ottawa,” he said. Organizers told him it was too much work, that it was very difficult to start such an event in a big city. But after much persistence, Peleshok finally succeeded in bringing the event to Ottawa. In October 2010, Ottawa’s first Light the Night event took place downtown – and was more successful than Peleshok could have dreamed. “We expected to have 500 walkers and to raise $50,000. We got 1,500 walkers and raised $250,000,” he said.

In 2011, Peleshok took on the role of corporate walk chairman to attract sponsors and partnerships. That year, more than 3,000 walkers raised $355,000. Peleshok hopes this year’s walk on Saturday, Oct. 13 will attract 4,000 walkers and half a million dollars in fundraising. And it’s on track: already the walk has twice the amount of teams registered compared to this time last year, and is on its way to raising thousands more dollars for leukemia and lymphoma research than previous years. The event will begin at the Marion Dewar Plaza outside city hall. Participants will walk to Pretoria Bridge and back (provided there aren’t thousands more people than expected, in which case a back-up route will be used) and the walkers will celebrate with entertainment and communion. Before the walk, organizers will hold a formal opening ceremony and a bilingual nondenominational service. “It’s overwhelming when you see all the balloons and things. The success of the walk has come from family and friends of people with leukemia or who they’ve lost to leukemia,” Peleshok said. SURVIVAL INSTINCT

Peleshok was 41 when he ﬁrst experienced symptoms of the leukemia he would spend four months ﬁghting.

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Craig Peleshok was diagnosed with leukemia in 2008, and now is the corporate walk chairman for the Ottawa Light the Night walk for cancer research on Oct. 13. At the end of August 2008, he was on vacation with his partner in Lake George. He woke up that Sunday with some blood on his pillow, and ﬁgured he had bit his cheek during the night. The following week, he noticed bruises on the backs of

his legs that kept growing and darkening. By Friday, he was so weak he could hardly help his neighbour move some unwanted items out of his garage. “It was all I could do to carry little things. I chalked it up to being fat, old and out of

shape,” he laughed. That night, he was cooking dinner for his twin daughters, who were celebrating their sweet 16. He could hardly stand. Despite his protests, his family took him to the emergency ward and he was admit-

ted almost immediately. By Saturday night – and after an enormous needle had been drilled into his hip for a bone marrow sample, the most agonizing pain he had ever felt – Peleshok received the news that he had acute promyelocytic leukemia. Doctors later told him that if he had waited until his scheduled appointment the following Tuesday, he would have been dead. While the news was difficult to hear, Peleshok said his doctor saved him when he told him that his treatment and recovery would be determined by his attitude. Peleshok said he firmly believes that his successful recovery was also influenced by a book he read about three months before his diagnosis, called The Last Lecture. It was written by a professor dying of cancer, who urged others to make their dreams realities. “If I hadn’t read that book a month or two before, I’d be dead,” he said. Peleshok celebrated his recovery later in 2009 when he married his second wife, and he now has a young toddler at home. He said his experience has led him to help others beat the disease as well. “I’ve been given this disease for some reason and I’d like to give back,” he said.

Knee Pain?: PatelloFemoral Joint Syndrome

R0011620792

Laura Mueller

By: Your Local Family Physiotherapy Centre Team Everyone has experienced knee pain at one time or another, and there are many different conditions which cause knee pain. Sometimes pain is produced with a local trauma, like falling on or twisting your knee. However, much of the time there’s no one clear “mechanism of injury” that starts the pain off.

There are many possible contributing factors to PFJS. Sometimes there is a lack of local muscle strength to control the kneecap position, or excess tightness around the kneecap restricting normal movement. Often there is a lack of hip muscle control, which allows the leg to fall into a poor biomechanical position when moving around. Poor foot/ankle control or excessive “ﬂat feet” can also contribute to PFJS. A physiotherapist or other

Nepean-Barrhaven EMC - Thursday, September 20, 2012

trained health practitioner can assess for what contributing factors are leading to your knee pain and provide treatment approaches to address your needs, whether it be exercises to work on your hip, knee or ankle control, releasing tight soft tissues in your leg, or suggest if orthotics might be of beneﬁt.

Knee Pain?: Patello-Femoral Joint Syndrome

3777 Strandherd Drive 613.825.7464 www.familyphysio.com

R0011624466_0920

A very common condition which typically develops in this way is patella-femoral joint syndrome (or PFJS for short). PFJS occurs when the kneecap, which needs to move up and down on the rest of the knee joint, doesn’t move along the pathway it’s meant to. This “maltracking” can lead to pain, clicking,

grinding and other abnormal sensations coming from under the kneecap. Overtime, this can lead to a wearing away of the kneecap cartilage.

respond to peaks in demand, such as during online recreation registration that so often leaves frustrated parents refreshing their Internet browsers, information technology subcommittee chairman Coun. Tim Tierney said. Ottawa will become one of the largest Canadian cities to use open-source technology, joining the likes of the White House, Statistics Canada, the Department of National De-

fence and Transport Canada. “It’s the new gold standard,” said Tierney, the councillor for Beacon Hill-Cyrville. Since open source technology relies on a community of people to develop and share tools, Ottawa is well positioned because so many federal departments based in the city are already using Drupal. In addition to making the site more ﬂexible and able to respond to the needs of both

the city and users, the other beneﬁts will be a reduction in licensing maintenance costs. The new ottawa.ca site will come with a mobile version, which is built-in with Drupal. There will also be an option to personalize the website for individual users; for instance, you could create a proﬁle with services you use on the city’s website and personalize the features that show up when you log in to ottawa.ca.

Garbage collection goes biweekly Oct. 29 Sign up for new garbage day alerts by phone, email or Twitter Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

Switching to biweekly pickup is expected to divert an additional 10,000 to 20,000 tonnes of organic waste from the landﬁll, Weir said. That will boost the diversion rate from the current 44 per cent to around 54 per cent. But that still leaves Ottawa 15,000 tonnes short of its 60 per cent diversion target, said Bloess, the councillor for Innes Ward. The city will never be able to achieve that diversion target until it tackles the “ICI sector” – industrial, commercial and institutional organizations, Bloess said. The city is currently only focusing on residential waste collection and has yet to roll out the green-bin program to apartment buildings before ICI collection is even considered. Weir said city staff expect to hit the goal of a 60 per cent diversion rate by the end of this new waste contract, which will be in 2016. The new web tool will also make it possible to add solid waste collection data to the city’s open data catalogue, which people can use for research or to development web or mobile applications.

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. Registration dates When Saturday

EMC news - Garbage collection will change to every two weeks starting Oct. 29, and the city is offering some high-tech tools to make the transition easier for residents. With the new web-based collection calendar tool, peeking out the front door to see if your neighbours put out their trash will be a thing of the past, IT subcommittee chairman Coun. Tim Tierney said. The tool offers a searchable online calendar, as well as weekly collection reminders by phone, email or Twitter. You can also choose whether you want the alerts to arrive the evening before or the morning of your collection day. Information can be found

at ottawa.ca/en/garbage_recycle/. As of last Monday, four days after its launch, there were more than 5,300 searches logged and 1,337 people signed up for household reminders. Starting Oct. 29, green-bin materials will be collected each week and the frequency of cardboard and container recycling won’t change, but garbage pick up will be reduced to every two weeks. As a result of the transition, 158,000 households in Ottawa will get a new garbage collection day. Waste will be picked up by new “dual-collection” trucks that can collect organic and recyclable materials at the same time, reducing the number of trucks on the road. The changes are expected to save the city $10 million each year and were approved by city council in an 18-4 vote in April. Some councillors (Rainer Bloess, Diane Deans, Jan Harder, Bob Monette and Tim Tierney) would have preferred to see seasonal biweekly pickup, which they said would have quelled fears of stinking garbage piling up in the summer months.

Ottawa artist snags photography award Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Overbrook artist Rosalie Favell has been honoured with the 2012 Karsh Award for her works representing indigenous society. The $7,500 prize is awarded every two years by the city to recognize signiﬁcant contribution to photographic practice in Ottawa, throughout Canada and internationally. It is named in honour of Yousuf and Malak Karsh, Ottawa brothers and photographers who were internationally renowned for their work in the mid 1900s.

“It is through this generosity that I am able to create such incredible art.” ROSALIE FAVELL

Favell accepted her award from Mayor Jim Watson at the Karsh-Masson Gallery in Lowertown, surrounded by her portraits of fellow artists and aboriginal people who inspired her. The approximately 60 black-and-white photographs were shot over the past four

years in Ottawa, Winnipeg, Colorado and other location. In a way, Favell said, the “Facing the Camera” exhibition is a sort of retrospective for her work. “It’s about imaging a community,” she said, adding that she was honoured to be chosen for the award. “It is through this generosity that I am able to create such incredible art.” A panel of three jurors chose Favell because her selfrepresentational works deﬁne and inspire contemporary indigenous society. Favell was born in Winnipeg and much of her work involves self portraiture and draws upon her Métis heritage. She is currently studying for her PhD in cultural mediations at Carleton University. “Favell’s artistic and theoretical explorations have not only had a signiﬁcant impact on the practice of photography, but broaden the reach of photography (and its narratives) by igniting new discussions across artistic, cultural and academic boundaries,” the jurors’ statement reads. Favell is a writer, curator and teacher. “Facing the Camera” is on at the 136 St. Patrick St. gallery will run until Oct. 28. Favell will give an artists’ talk at the gallery Sept. 23 at 2 p.m.

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Karsh Award recipient Rosalie Favell received the 2012 award at the Karsh-Masson Gallery in Lowertown on Sept. 13, for her works representing indigenous society.

William Street square now under construction Staff

EMC news - Construction on the William Street pedestrian area has begun. Although city council approved the creation of a pedestrian-only space on William Street north of York Street in the ByWard Market last fall, the local merchants’ association wanted to wait until the tourism season calmed down before digging up the area. While there have been temporary barricades to block off trafﬁc and benches and seating provided in the area, a more attractive, permanent upgrade to the space is on its way. The work will include widening the sidewalks on William Street and creating boulevards on York Street and concrete crosswalks to make it easier to cross from the pedestrian area to the ByWard Market building. The boulevards on Clarence Street at William Street will also be widened. New lighting, trees, planters and benches will be added to the area. The work was set to begin on Sept. 17 and is scheduled to take eight weeks. The contractor, Ottawa D Squared Construction Ltd., won’t be doing any work on the week-

ends. The pedestrian area was championed by the former environmental advisory committee, which was eliminated last week as part of the restructuring of the city’s advisory committees. Last year, the former chairman of that advisory group said he hopes the William Street pedestrian square can pave the way for the creation of other vibrant pedestrian areas in the city. While he agreed that many view some pedestrian zones, such as Sparks Street, as failures because they don’t have a lively atmosphere that attracts people to them, Quealey said that is a lesson William Street can teach Ottawa. Sparks Street is surrounded by office buildings, so the area generally empties out at the end of the work day, Quealey said. “You need to have that collective energy, and the market has that,” Quealey said. While the closed-off block of William Street has slowly been becoming a destination to watch buskers or grab a seat on a bench, the original intention was to reduce traffic congestion and get rid of idling vehicles polluting the market’s air. The first season, in 2010,

Beebee is a spayed female, brown tabby Domestic Shorthair cat who is about seven years old. She was brought to the shelter as a stray on May 5 and is now available for adoption. Beebee loves to curl up in the sunshine and watch the world go by. She has a quiet personality and gets along well with pretty much anyone. She is past her feisty kitten years and would rather not live in a busy and bustling home. Beebee needs a quiet loving home where she can enjoy her adult and retirement years receiving love and attention curled up on your lap.

This unaltered female, black and white Syrian Hamster is about 10 months old. She was surrendered to the shelter by her owner on August 21. She is one of many hamsters and other small animals currently available for adoption. She would love a wheel in her cage for exercise, and an extra-special treat would be a hamster ball to explore your home outside the cage,under supervision,of course! For more information about these or other animals available for adoption, please call the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www. ottawahumane.ca.

IS YOUR CAT’S SCRATCHING HABIT LEAVING YOU SCRATCHING YOUR HEAD? Scratching is normal cat behaviour, not a comment on your upholstery. Cats scratch in order to: remove the dead outer layer of their claws; rub their scent onto things to mark their territory; stretch; work off energy; and even to seek your attention when they want something. There are lots of ways to keep your feline friend from ruining the furniture.

My favorite things to do are taking long walks in the grass, eat and than store some of my kibble in my cheeks (to eat later in bed!), chase anything that catches my attention, ah and sleeping under the covers!! And sshhhhh, don’t tell anyone, but I secretly LOVE when my parents dress me in clothes! My scarf completes me! I just love life and cannot get nearly enough cuddles. But I think I’m most happiest when I have my head hanging out the car window!!

make her less likely to use the post. Special products for training your cat are available at pet supply stores. If you are considering declawing your cat, consider this: declawing a cat doesn’t remove just the claws — it amputates the end digit from the paw, similar in scope to cutting off a person’s ﬁnger at the last joint. This procedure can cause substantial discomfort and complications after the operation. Declawed cats may become reclusive, irritable, aggressive and unpredictable, and may have a tendency to bite as they cannot scratch to give warning. While other, newer methods exist for declawing (for example, laser surgery), the end result is still undesirable for your cat as it prevents her from engaging in normal cat behaviour. The OHS does not support declawing. It should be considered as a ﬁnal option after you have exhausted other alternatives to eliminate destructive behaviour. However, if you feel that you must either declaw your cat or give her up, the OHS would rather see your cat stay in her

home. If you decide that it is absolutely necessary to have your cat declawed, only have the front paws done, so that the cat can still scratch an itch, climb and defend herself. If this is your decision, consult your veterinarian first and discuss having the surgery done at the same time your cat is spayed or neutered. Other tips If you catch your cat in the act, try making a loud noise (for example, use a whistle, shake a soda can filled with pebbles or pennies, or slap a wall or a table) or use a water-filled squirt bottle. Conversely, when your cat claws the scratching post instead of your couch, make sure you give your cat extra praise and affection. One reason cats scratch is to remove the dead outer layer of their claws. Regularly trimming your cat’s nails can help reduce scratching. You should clip off the sharp tips of your cat’s claws on his front feet every two weeks or so. More companion animal information is available at www.ottawahumane.ca.

You can’t eliminate scratching behaviours: it’s a normal behaviour for your cat; it becomes a problem only when the object being scratched is an item of value to you. The goal is to redirect the scratching to an acceptable object, such as a scratching post. Provide objects for scratching that are appealing and convenient from your cat’s point of view. Observe the physical features of the objects your cat is scratching. Note their location, texture, shape and height. Substitute a similar object(s) for your cat to scratch (for example, rope-wrapped posts, corrugated cardboard, or even a log). Place an acceptable object (for example, scratching post) near

an inappropriate object (for example, upholstered chair). Make sure the objects are stable and won’t fall over when she uses them. You can make these objects more attractive to your cat by spraying them with catnip periodically and hanging a toy from the post. If you cat is refusing to use a scratching post and prefers your rug, try covering a piece of plywood with carpet and spraying it with some catnip. Cover the inappropriate object(s) with something your cat won’t like, such as double-sided sticky tape, aluminium foil, sheets of sandpaper, or a plastic carpet runner with the pointy side up. Only remove the “unappealing” coverings (for example, double-sided sticky tape, aluminium foil, sheets of sandpaper) from the inappropriate object(s) when your cat is consistently using the appropriate objects. This will entice your cat to investigate the more appealing scratching post. Don’t take your cat over to the scratching post and position her paws on the post to show her what she’s supposed to do. This will likely have the opposite effect and
