The Olympic Heroes Tour was held in Ottawa and Toronto, and brought Canadian Olympians and Paralympians to schools and CHEO to meet with children. Several medalists, including open water swimmer Richard Weinberger and Paralympic swimmer Summer Mortimer, brought their medals for the youths to try on. There was a lot of energy

The tour was set to conclude in Toronto with a parade through the downtown core on Sept. 21, with the athletes taking the train from Ottawa after Sept. 19 visits.

EMC news - Volunteers could salvage sports and other after-school clubs. That was the message delivered during an Ottawa Carleton District School Board meeting on Sept. 18. Volunteer Debborah Evraire said the board needs to talk about solutions to offer sports programs before the deadline for winter registration passes. “It’s unacceptable that 11 of our schools don’t have sports teams playing right now,” she said. “I don’t think the call to the community (for volunteers) has been loud enough.” The fall sports programs were lost as the board couldn’t meet the deadline to register teams set by the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association (OFSAA). Sports teams and other clubs are in jeopardy this year because the two teacher unions that represent elementary and secondary schools have asked teachers to reconsider doing extra work in protest of the Putting Students First Act. The legislation freezes teacher wages, ends the banking of sick days and bans strikes for the next two years. Only two Ottawa schools – Glebe Collegiate Institute and Colonel By Secondary School – registered a team for every sport. Eleven of the board’s 25 high schools didn’t register any sports teams for the fall season and nine others registered some teams.

Mark Fisher, a trustee for much of the city’s south end, said the board’s practice of relying solely on teachers to operate sports teams and other clubs makes the board vulnerable to labour actions by the teachers. Both Shea and Mark Fisher, who represents much of the city’s south end, said the practice of using teachers who volunteers leaves the board vulnerable. “Through crisis we are seeing some of the cracks in the system,â€? Shea said. Pam Fitzgerald, trustee for the zone that corresponds with the city’s College ward, asked the board to go a step further. She said extracurricular activities are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Putting Students First Act and urged her fellow trustees to take a stand on the legislation. In her notice of motion Fitzgerald suggested staff look at the possible ďŹ nancial implications because of the legislation. “The act promises to save $2 billion over the next two years,â€? she said, adding the board may want to ask for a repeal of the act and come
up with alternatives to save money, such as an amalgamation of the public and Catholic boards. Adams said superintendent of facilities Mike Carson will study the impacts of the re-

to tell them the legislation is bad. “We don’t think you need a ďŹ nancial analysis to stake a position,â€? he said. “If it’s wrong, it’s wrong.â€? Shirley Seward represents the zone that corresponds with the city’s River ward, attempted to have Fitzgerald’s motion added to the agenda, but without unanimous support the item was postponed until the next board meeting. Seward, who said staff could look at the case of BrookďŹ eld High School as an example, where parents managed to save several sports programs by coming together over a weekend and to ďŹ nd volunteers to run sports teams in time for the fall OFSAA deadline. “But the discussion around the extracurricular activities ignores the elephant in the room, which is the legislation,â€? she said. “There are going to be many other issues.â€?
Selena recently had surgery on her foot because of a condition she was born with, tarsal coalition, meaning two of the bones rub against each other. Meeting the Olympians was a good consolation for missing the ďŹ rst day of tryouts for her competitive basketball team in Goulbourn, but she hopes to be back playing in December to ďŹ nish the season. The Grade 6 student at Holy Spirit Elementary School also plays soccer and runs track, and said she would love to be an Olympian herself one day. It was one of the ďŹ rst public visits back in Ottawa for Westboro’s Michael Tayler, a kayaker who attended Nepean High School and now Carleton University. “It’s such a cool experience, and it’s something I was
really looking forward to,â€? Tayler said of being able to meet with the children. “It’s great to be able to share my story and hopefully improve some lives.â€? He also spoke to an excited crowd at St. Peter Catholic High School in OrlĂŠans earlier in the day as a part of the tour.

Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School will be able to run their ďŹ eld hockey and basketball programs thanks to the help of volunteers in the community. But Theresa Kavanagh, who represents the zone that corresponds with the city’s Bay ward, said the school board needs to work on solutions that will help students in areas of the city where income and cultural backgrounds may impede the parents’ ability to volunteer their time. “I think all the kids should have the same opportunities,â€? she said. Barrhaven trustee Donna Blackburn introduced a motion at the meeting directing staff to do everything possible to maintain extracurricular activities at public board schools. “I have been inundated with calls from parents and students from three of the four of my high schools have staged protests,â€? she said. Director of Education Jennifer Adams said staff will be working with a group of principals and vice-principals on the language in the board’s volunteer policy to make sure there is room for community volunteers to run sports programs and other clubs. She said she thinks the language should allow for qualiďŹ ed volunteers. “Obviously we prefer if teachers and staff were able to run the programs, but we won’t be holding out for that,â€? Adams said. The deadline to register for winter sports is the end of October so that gives staff ďŹ ve weeks to work out a plan to offer volunteer-run programs. John Shea, who represents parts of OrlĂŠans and Cumberland, said making sure that happens is the number one priority.

The content management system is more flexible, so it will enable the city to “scale up” the capacity of the website to 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 and Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun.

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.

EMC news - Imagine having to choose between going to a doctor’s appointment or getting groceries. Trish Pagtakhan said that’s the decision some of their clients have to face. Pagtakhan is the program co-ordinator for the west end falls prevention program at the Pinecrest Queensway Community Health Centre. The program helps connect seniors with services in the community is staffed by a registered nurse and community developer. “A lot of the people we see are heading into crisis,” Pagtakhan said. “A lot of them have cognitive or mental health issues and their physicians are retired. We try and head off the crisis and turn them in the right direction.” Five community health care centres in the city were given funding by the Champlain Local Health Integration Network – which makes health care spending decisions in eastern Ontario. Pagtakhan said each centre has committed to accepting 30 new clients per year. Referrals come from other programs at Pinecrest Queensway, including their primary care staff. “We also get referrals from hospitals,” Pagtakhan said. “A lot of the time, the senior will head into crisis and then be given medications with instructions to come to an appointment in two weeks. By the time they are out the door they have forgotten.” The primary care outreach program only serves clients in the catchement of the Pinecrest Queensway, but Pagtakhan said there is need in areas like Manotick and Barrhaven.
The program is not currently offered at the South Nepean Satellite Community Health Centre. “It’s a need we need to make the LHIN aware of. As the population ages, the need is only going to get greater,” she said. “The riding we are in is one of the fastest-aging federal ridings in the country.” Aside from the work staff does with clients to help with transportation, housing, medical care and other basic needs, the program is also designed to help caregivers. “We deal with caregivers who may be feeling overwhelmed and offer what supports we can,” Pagtakhan said, adding a lot of the work they do is building relationships with agencies operating in the communities. “Sometimes our clients have turned down services from other organizations that may not be aware they are dealing with cognitive issues,” she said. COMMUNITY HEALTH WEEK
The seniors program is just one of the many being showcased by Pinecrest Queensway as part of Community Health Week. Being held from Oct. 1 to 5, the annual celebration looks at the work of community health centres across Canada. The theme for this year is In Our Community, With Our Community. Larissa Williams, a health promoter from Pinecrest Queensway, said core services include primary care, mental health, children’s services and a range of community programs such as employment and youth programs.

Routine eye exams can reveal more than just vision problems By Bev McRae
health problems, the patient is referred to a medical doctor or to a specialist for treatment. “Sometimes we can find things going on neurologically in the eye,” explained Dr. McIntosh. “For example, there are some brain tumours that present first to the optometrist, like pituitary tumours, where there is swelling of the optic nerve and changes to peripheral vision. Sometimes multiple sclerosis presents first with optic nerve disease that causes reduced vision, double vision and pain in the eyes, so patients oftentimes present to the optometrist first, thinking it’s an eye condition. Then we find it’s a neurological condition and they need to see a specialist.” Of course, a routine eye exam can also reveal eye problems before you even have any symptoms. “One of the ones we encounter very often is people who have elevated pressures in the eye that can potentially lead to glaucoma. It’s usually not detectable or noticeable until the late stages when it’s too late to reverse any damage to the nerves or to vision. There are other conditions like macular degeneration where we can detect changes before a patient knows they have any decline to their central vision,” said Dr. Macintosh
Established as a one-man practice more than 30 years ago, Barrhaven Optometric Centre now includes six optometrists and a support staff of more than 20 at a newly renovated location in Barrhaven Crossing at 3500 Fallowfield Rd. Left to right, Drs. Scott McIntosh, Trevor Graham, Rosanna Rivard, Lora Lee Hardy, Lucie Berthiaume and Gord Young offer comprehensive eye examinations and contact lens services in a professional, modern environment with state of the art technology and equipment.

blood vessels at the back of your eyes, without having to cut any veins or arteries open or do any dye or x-ray investigation.
Your eyes are a convenient and non-invasive early warning system that may reveal serious circulatory problems you didn’t know about. “There are important symptoms of ocular diseases we can detect but there are also systemic disease implications that sometimes show up in the eye,” said Dr. Scott McIntosh at Barrhaven Optometric Centre.
“When we look in we can tell if there’s any narrowing indicating possible hypertension or high blood pressure,” said Dr. McIntosh. “We can actually examine the integrity of the arteries to see if there are any artherosclerotic changes, any cholesterol or plaques forming at the back of the eyes. In older people we can see little plaques forming if they’re prone to having strokes.”

If macular degeneration is caught early, he said, there are now new treatments available to manage the disease, whereas even a few years ago there weren’t any significantly beneficial treatments. Patients at Barrhaven Optometric Centre may also be referred to Dr. Ralph Zabel, the ophthalmologist who visits the clinic once a month to consult on surgical or complex medical cases. Children and teens should have their eyes checked every year, as should seniors, advised Dr. McIntosh, but healthy adults with no vision problems need an eye exam only every two years. “Even if your systemic health is good and your vision is clear, there are ocular diseases we can detect like the thinning of the retina or holes or tears forming that can be treated to prevent detachment of the retina,” he said. “It can occur spontaneously in some individuals, sometimes as a result of a genetic con-
nection.” Dr. McIntosh is one of six optometrists with a large support staff of optometric assistants, lens technicians and frame specialists at the Barrhaven Optometric Centre who offer comprehensive eye examinations and contact lens services. Dr. Gord Young set up the practice more than 30 years ago. He now shares ownership with Dr. McIntosh and Dr. Lora Lee Hardy. Barrhaven Optometric moved to its current location at 3500 Fallowfield Rd. in the fall of 2011, occupying only half the premises while the other half was under construction. “In the initial phase we were a little cramped for space, but we were still able to accommodate patients by scheduling more appointments in the evenings and on weekends,” said McIntosh. “It was short term pain for long term gain. Now we have double the space with more exam rooms, new testing equipment in our offices, a larger area for dispensing double the frame selection for our patients and an on-site optical finishing lab.” One of the new tests now available at Barrhaven Optometric Centre is optical coherence tomography, a special imaging of the back of the eye that reveals the layers of the retina and the thickness of the optic nerve. “OCT helps us to better diagnose optic nerve or retinal disease and follow our patients so we know when to refer them appropriately,” said Dr. McIntosh. “Our business logo is ‘committed to quality eye care’ so we want to offer the best service that we can to our patients. That piece of equipment sets us apart as we try to be on the frontier in offering the latest and greatest technologies.” Barrhaven Optometric is open Monday to Wednesday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Thursday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 3500 Fallowfield Rd., Barrhaven.

storey street townhomes. The south side of the building, which faces into the interior of the site, is proposed to have ground floor retail uses with second floor office space and four third-floor apartment units. The seven townhomes fronting onto Prem Circle are proposed to be 10.4 metres in height; each with individual driveways and garages. If all goes well, Busby said the developer would have their approvals in January and construction could begin in the next season. “We are in the process of taking in some of the comments and making some revisions,” he said, adding the comments were mostly about spillover parking and traffic. While the proposed parks and developments covered all of Barrhaven, Gloucester South Desroches couldn’t make the open house because of the birth of the newest additions to his family – twins Zoe and Max.

EMC news - Barrhaven lived up to its reputation as one of the city’s fastest growing suburbs during an open house held at the Walter Baker Sports Centre on Sept. 18. From the widening of Greenbank Road to new parks and housing and retail complexes, there was a lot for residents to take in during the information session Couns. Jan Harder and Steve Desroches hold twice a year. City staff were also on hand to talk about the city’s bylaw services and changes to the garbage pickup. Vasanthi Pendakur, a co-op student with the city, said she has been at a number of public information sessions in the last months. “We have been to the Richmond Fair and we will be going to the Carp Fair,” she said. “Most people know that garbage pick up will change to once every two weeks, but they have some questions as to how that will play out.” Ottawa Hydro and the police also had information booths set up.

Meeting Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure challenge
F
ollowing the presentation of a report on the state of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure last week to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finance committee, it has become clear Ottawa has an infrastructure problem. The potential consequences of this problem were brought sharply into focus recently when a portion of highway 174 was closed by a sinkhole. While the extent of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problem is not so acute as the east-end sinkhole, the
report indicates that without a significant infusion of cash to increase maintenance activity, the city runs the risk, in the long run, of seeing things like sinkholes, broken water mains and collapsed roofs popping up like dandelions from Carp to Carlington to Cumberland. We cannot afford to let this happen. Just ask anyone who had to sit in traffic on Montreal Road or Barrhaven residents who saw watering restrictions imposed in 2011 following the
Woodroffe Avenue water main break how much fun it is to have critical infrastructure fail. Yet despite a two-per-cent infrastructure levy that was imposed from 2008 to 2010, more than $400 million in federal and provincial stimulus cash and the $340million Ottawa on the Move program, the city is only able to scrape by when it comes to maintaining things like roads, recreation facilities, libraries and other civic buildings. This means the city needs
to find $165 million per year, up from the $80 million itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently spending, to maintain what it already has and even more once new infrastructure is added by 2022. As Mayor Jim Watson said following the presentation of the report to council, there are several ways this maintenance can be paid for: adding debt, increasing taxes or seeking funding from other levels of government. Looking to other levels of government, at least in the
short term, appears to be a non-starter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the province is looking to spend less money, not more, and the federal government is poised to slash thousands of civil service jobs in Ottawa to get its own fiscal house in order. Borrowing money to pay for what are permanent, ongoing needs is a dubious course of action. The need to maintain infrastructure isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to stop anytime soon, so why mortgage the future to pay for it?
That leaves us with finding additional money to pay for this vital, necessary work. This can be done in two ways. The city can raise taxes or money can be cut from other areas of the city budget. Things like upcoming capital projects can be put on hold or cancelled, city staff can be cut or services can be reduced or eliminated to shift money to pay for these needs. Either tax hikes or spending cuts will bite taxpayers in the end, but such decisions are the burden of leadership. How council handles these choices will have far-reaching implications for this city â&#x20AC;&#x201C; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope it chooses wisely.
COLUMN
Oh no, not more about 1972! CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
I
f it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the hockey lockout the anniversary of the 1972 Canada-Russia series would not have received so much attention. Whatever the reason, the attention goes on and on and on and it may be that anyone who wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t around in 1972 - a good chunk of the population - might have seen more than enough of it. The good news for them is that it should all be over soon. September 28 marks the 40-year anniversary of Hendersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal in the final game. Mind you, there is still the 40-year anniversary of the plane ride home, the 40-year anniversary of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s welcome in Toronto, and there could be many others. Still, for all intents and purposes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over. Not that it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been interesting, especially to look at the lessons we think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned from those moments in time 40 years ago. There was a lot of jingoism in Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attitude toward the series. Along with our love for our team went a certain amount of hatred for the Russians. That seems, if not embarrassing, at least quaint when looked at today. We were willing to tolerate some thuggish behaviour by our team, not to mention the officials, if it was necessary to win the series. There were also judgments made about the way the then-Soviets played hockey. They were emotionless robots, uncreative, unable to play with passion, it was said, despite the incredibly high level at which they played. We wince at that today, with so many Russian players playing so well on â&#x20AC;&#x153;ourâ&#x20AC;? teams in the National Hockey League. Perhaps you can argue that Russian play-
ers can now play with passion and creativity because they have been freed from the yoke of Communist oppression. But more likely the difference is in the way we perceive things. Heaven help us that we should be drawing deep philosophical conclusions from hockey anniversaries, but if there is a conclusion to be drawn it is that the world and Canada have changed a lot in 40 years. That may be difficult to fathom for those who feel like it only happened yesterday, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true. To begin with, 40 years ago there were no Russians in the NHL, in fact hardly anyone who wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Canadian. Forty years ago, we feared the Russians in a way we do not now. The Cold War was at its height. The Soviet Union was a closed society. The hotel rooms were lousy and could have been bugged. The Russians didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust us all that much either, although our hotel rooms were better. Everything isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wonderful now, but the Cold War is over, the Russian hotel rooms are better and probably not bugged. There is no Soviet Union and there is dissent in Russia - to what avail no one is quite sure. Players from all over what used to be the Soviet bloc are performing, creatively and with passion, in the NHL, or will be, when the NHL begins. Is any of that because we â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonâ&#x20AC;? the 1972 series? Maybe. Or maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because we almost lost it and realized there was something to be learned from the way the Russians played. And they learned that there was something to be learned from the way we played. As for Canadian fans, did we learn anything? Did we learn that it was a little excessive to be as excessive as we were in cheering our boys on? Probably not. Think of the waves of patriotism that swept over Sidney Crosby when he scored the game-winning goal against the United States at Vancouver 38 years later. We are still going to get worked up over hockey. Whether we get too worked up is another question. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get another chance to think about it when the 50th anniversary of all this rolls around in 10 years. You can hardly wait, right?

Anglophones need not apply
I
magine for a moment a new player in Ontario politics. Let’s call it “The Ontario Party.” This fictional party has emerged with the goal of separating from the rest of the country. Fundamental to its party platform is a clause stating that true Ontarians are those whose mother tongue is English. As such, its party leader and candidates refuse interviews with media outlets that don’t publish or broadcast in English. When “The Ontario Party” is elected, its first point of order is to rip the Canadian flag from its once-prominent place in the legislature. It then enacts legislation forcing all business owners in the province to erect signage in English or face hefty fines. Under “The Ontario Party’s” new immigration rules, people from Englishspeaking countries will be given priority over all others, even those who have learned English as a second language. Laws are created to prevent non-English people from running for public office. Funds to French-language and other language schools are degraded. ”The Ontario Party’s” overwhelming message: “If you don’t speak English, you don’t belong here.” Thankfully, this party doesn’t exist. But across the Ottawa River, in Quebec, the Parti Quebecois does. Its
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse raison d’etre is to prevent the infiltration of English and other languages into Quebec’s language and culture -- which it views as distinct – and of course, to separate from the rest of Canada. Many of the people I know who voted for the PQ deny the underlying prejudice of their government. “Quebec is distinct,” they say. “Quebec is a socialist province, not like the others.” “The PQ is the only party that will protect our collective belief that governments should pay for cradle-to-grave services.” To which I respond – What does any of that have to do with language? The Parti Quebecois’s policies are nothing short of xenophobic. Its supporters buy into this – fearing that non-French speakers that may bring their own political ideas and agendas that are ... well, different. As a result, after nine years of relative harmony between La Belle Province and those outside its borders, the Parti Quebecois’s protectionist platform has once again reminded those
of us in the rest of Canada and elsewhere that there is no place for us in Quebec. I find it sad. Under the Parti Quebecois’s definition of what it means to be a Quebecer, I’m not sure my own children – who, with one Francophone parent and one Anglophone parent, speak both official languages fluently – would be considered valid citizens in the province. Fortunately, we live in my home-province of Ontario and not my husband’s birth place across the river. Because, while Quebec is narrowing its definition of what it means to be a true Quebecer, Ontario has created policies that are more inclusive. In 2009, thanks in large part to Ottawa MPP and then minister of culture, Madeleine Meilleur, Ontario broadened its definition of Francophone to include French-speaking allophones – those whose mother tongue is neither French nor English, but who use French in the home. This has extended access to French-language education and services, in particular to
many immigrant families. It has grown the Francophone population in the province. Under the new definition, Francophones make up 4.8 per cent of the population in Ontario, compared to 4.1 per cent before. A few days ago, my own children proudly donned the Franco-Ontarian flag, on which the trillium and the fleur-de-lys stand side-by-side against a green and white background. The same day, we spent time researching publicly-funded Mandarinlanguage classes, looking to foster another element of our family’s diverse cultural background. This hasn’t always been possible here, granted. Minorities in the province have had to fight hard to preserve their languages and cultures. But as the world shrinks and our communities become increasingly heterogeneous, it looks as though Ontario will continue to grow, protect and foster diversity. Simultaneously, the xenophobic policies of the Parti Quebecois will also continue to have wide reach. With no room for minorities, the Parti Quebecois and its supporters may finally chase out the nonFrench-speakers and get what they want -- an exclusive, homogenous society. But in a world and a country that is ever-inclusive and diverse, frankly, it will be their loss.

Half of public high schools fail to register sports teams Students protest outside premier’s office Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com
EMC news – Nearly 200 public high school students protested the loss of their extracurricular activities outside Premier Dalton McGuinty’s office in Alta Vista on Sept. 19. Eleven public high schools failed to sign up for regular season play in the National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association this year, after teachers withdrew from extracurricular activities such as supervising clubs or coaching sports’ teams in protest of the Liberal government’s legislation. The new legislation, Bill 115, freezes teachers’ wages, bans strikes for two years and prevents them from banking sick days. Danielle Saunders-Gauthier, a Grade 11 Ridgemont High School student who has played basketball, volleyball, rugby and football for her school, organized the protest. “The message we are trying to send out is that the bill was really negative not just to the teachers but to students as well,” she said. Danielle took a basketball course this summer to prepare her to play in the fall NCSSAA season. “I didn’t have any idea that by the time this (fall) comes around, there was going to be no sports team anymore,” said Danielle. Across the city, students have staged protests to express their outrage over Bill 115, said Danielle. “These programs are extremely important.
It is where you get the best memories of high school,’ said Danielle. According to numbers given by the public school board, nearly half of Ottawa high schools will have no extracurricular sports teams this fall. Gary Schreider, co-director of the NCSSAA, said the schools were unable to provide any volunteer coaches who met the board’s criteria to fill in for the teachers by the entry deadline date. Gabriel Paul, a Grade 12 student at Canterbury High School, said he was protesting because he believe the bill was taking away a lot of basic rights from teachers – like the right to strike. ‘NOT RIGHT’
“I believe that is not right whatsoever and I also believe the teachers are not handling this correctly,” he said. Paul, who is part of Canterbury’s jazz and concert band, added that taking away extracurricular activities from students is just not right. “It has taken away one of the things that I enjoy most from school,” he said. Kai Benson, another Canterbury student, was looking forward to forging a career in music and said she now feels those hopes may soon be shattered. “Ninety per cent of my curriculum is outside school. Music is what I want to do the rest of my life and this bill is taking away what to me is the most important thing in our education,” she said. “I am here because I want the premier to understand that students have a voice and that we are not going to be voting for him next election.”

Campbell teams with Facebook for organ donor initiative Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
EMC news - Ottawa’s Hélène Campbell brought her message of organ donation awareness to a new venue on Sept. 17, but this time she was launching an even larger initiative - on Facebook. The double lung transplant recipient was joined at the Parliamentary Press Gallery by Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq and Jordan Banks, managing director for Facebook Canada, in announcing a new initiative that allows Facebook users to state their organ donor status on their Facebook profile page.
“We believe that simply telling people you care about that you’re a donor will play an important role in encouraging others to become donors.” JORDAN BANKS MANAGING DIRECTOR FOR FACEBOOK CANADA
The aim of the initiative, which has already been launched in the United States and Britain, is to spread awareness of the need for donors and encourage those who haven’t signed up to consider becoming donors. The tool not only allows users to post their donor status, it also directs Facebook users to provincial or territorial websites where they can sign up. “We believe that simply telling people you care about
that you’re a donor will play an important role in encouraging others to become donors,” said Banks. “More organ donors means more lives saved.” The tool can be accessed through the “life event” category of a user’s Facebook timeline and the subcategory to click on is “health and wellness.” Campbell, who received her new set of donor lungs during an April 6 operation, spoke about the important role social media plays in today’s society. “I’m so thrilled that we are able to announce this today,” she said. “(Facebook) is a perfect platform to let your family and friends know about the decision you’ve made.” The Barrhaven woman said the tool might also encourage people to seek out the often-surprising statistics surrounding organ donation, such as the fact that a single donor can save as many as eight lives. Campbell said she still thinks every day about the donor who saved her life and the decision made by the family who made her new lease on life possible – a life that is slowly getting back to normal. “My mom knows that I can clean again,” she said, adding she can now ride a bike again, along with other outdoor pursuits. Aglukkaq said she is always encouraged when she sees individuals and the private sector working together to “help make a difference in the health of (Canadians).” So far, 275,000 Facebook users have registered their intent to become an organ donor.

Suburb a tiny slice of small town in big city Glens celebrate golden anniversary Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
EMC news - The Glens Community Association rang in its golden anniversary on Sept. 16. The community is bounded by Merivale Road, Woodroffe Avenue, Prince of Wales Drive and MacFarlane Road. Pineglen east and west were built in the 1940s and ’50s and is currently home to many Second World War veterans. Grenfell Glen – which is bounded on three sides by the Greenbelt and by the CN rail line – was built in the ’60s. What makes the community different, say residents, is its small-town feel despite the proximity to busy Merivale Road. The area compromises 550 homes, most of which are on well and septic systems. Agnes Warda has served as president of the community association since 2004 and said the reason the homes are privately serviced is because of the restrictions on pipes through the Greenbelt when the houses were built. The streets are narrow, the corners have no streetlights and there are no sidewalks. But the residents like things just the way they are. A haven of green off the more industrial section of Merivale south of Hunt Club Road, the tiny, tree-lined streets offer a quiet place to walk for some employees of businesses that line the busy thoroughfare. Warda said what attracts most new residents to the area is the greenery, quiet
and park-like setting. The neighbourhood mixes old and young, but has to deal with some transportation issues as there are only one or two bus routes that run through the area. Smaller roads also tend to offer a challenge for snow removal as the bigger graders have trouble navigating the streets. But Warda wouldn’t give it up for anything. Despite some of the challenges, she said the area is known for working well with nature. During a drive through the neighbourhood, she pointed out a home that works with landscape and managed to keep all the trees on the lot. “You can go bigger if you work with nature,” she said. As a nod to the community association’s anniversary and the fact that the neighbourhood has lost some trees in past ice storms, KnoxdaleMerivale Coun. Keith Egli announced a new tree planting initiative on Sept. 16 that should further green the communities of Pine Glen, Grenfell Glen and Clearview. After consultation with environment committee chair Maria McRae, Egli said he was able to procure 50 trees for planting in the community. “This project will create a lasting and growing statement to the longevity of this community,” he said in a press release. Warda said she never expected the trees. “We just held a simple celebration in the park,” she said. “We wanted one or two trees for the park, so we were

The participation rate in the community association is nearly 80 per cent, much higher than the average for other groups across the city. Warda said residents know each other and help each other out. Her neighbour is a widow of a Second World War veteran and volunteers her time at the library, but because of the lack of available
buses in the neighbourhood, she needs a lift. “We also take her garbage out,” Warda said. The community association kept their original declaration from the former city of Nepean in the ’60s, and they also have articles from old newspapers about issues like traffic and infill, topics still dealt with by residents today. Warda pointed to an article in 1982 talking about how the “Merivale corridor” was a bad option for Highway 16 – the old name for the section of Prince of Wales Drive that surrounds their community
today. In the article, several residents were concerned with noise, traffic and property values plummeting. Fast forward to today and residents have similar concerns about the widening of Prince of Wales. Warda said they are concerned with loss of trees and how the city might deal with the fact that many of the homes are not connected to municipal water services. Because of that anomaly in a city suburb, new development has to go through the city planning staff, the
Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and the provincial building code. New homes can only use 15 per cent of their lot if they are privately serviced and 25 per cent if they are hooked up to city and water. But some of the newer homes look larger than life when compared to the older homes designed for veterans. While things change around them, Warda said residents will work to keep their neighbourhood as a smalltown haven in a bigger city. “We like things the way they are,” she said.

Catholic board breaks ground on new school Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
EMC news - The Ottawa Catholic School Board broke ground on the site of a new elementary school for Barrhaven. The school, which will be constructed near the intersection of Cambrian Road and Kilbirnie Drive, is set to be completed for the fall of 2013. Julian Hanlon, director of education for the board, said nearby St. Emily Catholic School on Chapman Mills Drive had 200 new registrations this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A new school really is needed,â&#x20AC;? he said.
The school will open a year before the Barrhaven south recreation complex and will offer full-day kindergarten as well as French immersion programs. Alison Baizana, the area trustee, said the groundbreaking event, held at the construction site on Sept. 20 was her first chance to attend the sod-turning of a new school site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so excited,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But this wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been possible without the work of the planning department at the board level and our partnership with Jan (Harder) and the City of Ottawa.â&#x20AC;?

EMC news - A new pro-intensification group is looking to get away from community activism that opposes development and instead promote creating a vibrant, world-class urban experience in the nation’s capital. Ottawa Urbanism officially formed on Sept. 19 with the election of an executive team and board of directors. Around 30 people came to the Bethel Field House in the Golden Triangle to hear about the initiative. “One of the most problematic things is the debate over planning is divisive,” said Felix Macias, secretary of Ottawa Urbanism and one of its founding members. “It doesn’t fit into the greater sense of what it means to live in the city.”
The group grew out of an online discussion forum on skyscraperpage.com. In Feburary of 2012, Macias and other founding members began meeting at the James Street Pub to discuss forming the group. Executive members include newly-elected president Philip Ghosh, a Centretown lawyer; Tyler Saikaly, vice president of research and proposals; Thom McVeigh, vice president of development reviews; Lucia Harper, director of communications; and three members-at-large of the board of directors: Peter Drake, Liam Mooney and Luke Schnurr.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, who remembered her first sodturning of a new Catholic school in Barrhaven, the construction of Mother Teresa Catholic High School, congratulated the board on its ability to keep up with student demand in the south Nepean neighbourhood. “The legacy the Catholic board has in Barrhaven is just amazing. I really think it’s ahead of the other boards and your kids are benefitting from it,” she said, adding she has three grandchildren at St. Andrew Catholic School. The attendance boundary for the new school will follow the Jock River to the north, Jockvale Road to the east, Barnsdale Road to the south and Highway 416 to the west. Baizana said the new school won’t be named until the winter, when the school community will put forward names for the board’s consideration. Prospective new students from St. Emily joined trustees and board staff in blending the soil from their school with that of the new building. Two students from St. Joseph Catholic High School – where the graduates of the new facility will attend – were also on hand to blend the soil from their school on Greenbank Road. “The year after this school opens you’ll have access to the largest recreation centre built since the city amalgamated and you’ll have a chance to use the pools, the tennis courts and the other things it has to offer,” Harder said to the students.

Group president hopes for development shift from height to design Continued from Page 15
The group’s activities are still to be determined, but will
rest on its vision statement: “Ottawa Urbanism strives for an Ottawa recognized for the richness and vibrancy of its
urban experience, for its quality of life, its cutting-edge architecture, and design; a city where it’s easy and desirable
to live an urban lifestyle.” Ghosh, a founding member and now president, said he hopes Ottawa Urbanism can
R0011626434-0927
shift the debate over development from a focus on height to a focus on the quality of design and how building can better integrate communities. “We want to be a voice for people who have a legitimate view that is not being adequately expressed.” Ghosh said he is familiar with other urbanist- and planning-focused groups in the city, including the Federation of Citizens’ Associations, and he hopes Ottawa Urbanism can find its own voice and work in conjunction with existing groups. “We will go where the membership wants us to go, but I’m hoping to focus on intensification,” Ghosh said. The group won’t just be focusing on downtown Ottawa. “Urbanism goes beyond the core,” Macias said. “It’s about connected communities.” Championing pedestrian and cycling issues, as well as transit-oriented development, is a citywide concern, Macias said. Even Ottawa’s rural villages, such as Manotick and Carp, contain a smaller example of urban experience and share similar concerns, Macias said. The group’s constitution stipulates a minimum of quarterly meetings, but Ghosh said he hopes the group will meet monthly. The group has already discussed adopting a policy
against accepting donations from developers in order to avoid a perception of working on their behalf. A few subcommittees are also in the works. To contact or join the group, email ottawaurbanism@gmail.com. PHILIP GHOSH
Ottawa Urbanism’s first president grew up in Hunt Club Park, but moved to the boundary of Westboro and Wellington West in his teens – a place he said was “much more enjoyable” to live in. His community involvement stretches back more than a decade to when he became involved in Ottawa’s youth cabinet advisory committee at city hall as the youth advisor on transit issues. He continued to be involved in planning issues while studying as an undergraduate history student at Carleton University. During that time, he worked for the city’s markets management team, which oversees vendors and activities in the ByWard and Parkdale markets. He studied law at Queen’s University and was called to the bar this year. Ghosh doesn’t have any political or development ties, but said he has maintained an interest in urban issues through his youth in Ottawa and his studies in Kingtson.

BMX track coming to Barrhaven Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
EMC news - Elio Marcantonio is hoping to bring BMX bike racing to Barrhaven. The father of three started racing with his kids when the two youngest were four years old. “I found the other sports we couldn’t do together,” he said. “You were dropping one kid off at the soccer pitch and then heading somewhere else.” So when his son Dean suggested bike racing he thought he would give it a try. The four of them tried it out and haven’t looked back. “I like going really fast and doing the jumps,” 10year-old Ava said. Marcantonio said the sport is something kids at all ages can participate in. “Some two-year-olds compete; they stand on bikes without pedals,” he said. Marcantonio and his kids compete at race tracks across
the province, but are now looking to bring the sport they love closer to home. Right now the family has to travel all the way to a track near the Earl Armstrong Arena on Ogilvie Road to compete with other riders in the Ottawa BMX Association. With the help of the city, in the form of Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, Marcantonio and other volunteers from Nepean BMX have been working to install a track at Clarke Fields. BMX or bicycle motocross racing requires very little infrastructure. It was invented by kids for kids, who were emulating their motocross heroes by using their bicycles. Marcantonio said all that is needed is space, some soil, a small structure for the canteen and registration. “There could also be a generator for things like lights and announcements,” Marcantonio said. So far, some local spon-
sors like Minto and Newfoundlandscape Design and Construction have provided soil and other support to the volunteers. The city’s parks and recreation department has approved the use of the space for the track and volunteers have been raising funds with bottle drives. They also set up a booth at the Barrhaven Lions Fun Day on Sept. 3. “It’s been a team effort,” Marcantonio said. BMX Canada is sending a track builder to help with the set up from Oct. 6 to 13 and Marcantonio said all will be needed hands on deck. If all goes well, the track should be up and running next spring. Depending on the weather, the season runs from May until the end of October. But to get the track ready lots of volunteers will be needed. Anyone interested in volunteering or providing materials, send an email to nepeanbmx@gmail.com.

Power of Mother Nature unleashed Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

R0011623626/0920
The Museum of Nature’s newest exhibition, Nature Unleashed opens on Sept. 28. For the first time the museum has promoted the exhibition with an eye-catching outside feature, to showcase the forces of nature. From left are museum staff member Dan Smythe and curator Caroline Lanthier.
EMC news - Children and adults alike will have the chance to create an earthquake, combine gas and goo to make a volcano, peer into the eye of a tornado and watch the awesome power of a tsunami at a new exhibit opening at the Museum of Nature. The museum’s latest exhibition, Nature Unleashed, will open on Sept. 28 and focuses on weather and other natural phenomena, offering spectators a look inside natural disasters. Museum of Nature curator Caroline Lanthier said the exhibition focuses on four main features, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and tornadoes, with plenty for spectators to do and see. “It is all about learning the science behind the natural disasters and the impact these
disasters have on humans,” Lanthier said. The first thing people will see is a look at the Earth. “It is Earth 101,” Lanthier said. “It is all about what is earth, and why we have natural disasters.” The exhibit offers visitors the opportunity to touch and learn through sounds, pulleys and mechanical interactions, including the chance to create an earthquake or build a volcano. REAL WORLD
“It really gives people an idea of what these disasters are about,” she said. “And they are really popular.” The main feature of the exhibition, Lanthier said, is the tornado theatre. There, visitors will be able to stand in the middle of a wind tunnel and watch as a tornado comes toward them and surrounds them. “It feels like you are inside the middle of the tornado,” she said. The attraction is made possible by video footage from a storm hunter, Sean C. Casey. It will allow visitors to learn all about the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which rates the strength of tornadoes in the United States, based on the impact of damage it can cause. A travelling exhibition from the Field Museum in Chicago, Lanthier and museum staff had to translate the entire exhibition to be bilingual. The exhibit is not all about playing around, as there are also artifacts from some of the world’s most famous natural disasters, including Mount Vesuvius at Pompeii Italy in 79 AD, hurricane Katrina survivors retell their experience and bent stop signs and lampposts from an EF 5, the highest rate in the Fujita scale, a tornado which hit and devastated 95 per cent of Greensburg, Kansas in 10 minutes in 2007. HURRICANE
And what to do if a hurricane comes to Ottawa? The museum has added a Canadian aspect to the exhibition, which looks at natural disasters throughout Canadian history and gives advice and offers up ideas of what to put in an emergency kit. Already lived through a natural disaster? There will be an opportunity to become a small part of the show, with a spot to write down personal disaster experiences and post it to a wall. This is the second time the traveling exhibition has come to Canada and will be at the museum until May 5. The museum will also feature a 3D movie, Tornado Alley, created by Casey. Admission to the special exhibition costs $18. 20

EMC sports - A 17-yearold Bridlewood triathlete is the fourth recipient of the Paul Van Steen Sports Achievement Award. Samantha Klus was presented with the award, along with a $250 cheque from the Bridlewood Community Association (BCA) during its annual general meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very dedicated. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very hard working,â&#x20AC;? said BCA president Margaret Kellaway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She gives back to her community and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an excellent example for all Bridlewood residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already accomplished so much and the skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the limit for where sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to go.â&#x20AC;? Klus is one of three girls recently named to the national junior triathlon team at the International Triathlon Union World Championship in Auckland, New Zealand from Oct. 18 to 22. She earned a spot on the team after placing fourth overall, but ďŹ rst among Ontario athletes, ages 16 to 19, in the junior elite provincial championship on Aug. 4 in Ottawa.

Athlete tried triathlon and just kept going Continued from page 21
Apart from her athletic achievements, Klus also volunteers her time helping to organize local races such as the Dunrobin Kids of Steel Race held in Dunrobin earlier this year, and also helped shovel snow off community rinks in Bridlewood last winter.
Five years ago, Klus was playing competitive soccer when her coach suggested she might want to train as a triathlete. Klus joined the Bytown Storm, a triathlon team that trains in various locations across the city including the Kanata YMCA/YWCA and the University of Ottawa Re-
gional Training Centre. “I gave triathlon a try with my mountain bike and I loved it,” said Klus. “Three different sports means you’re not training for the same thing everyday. There’s so many things you can train for.” Every race and course is different, she added. “It’s just variety I guess.”
But training for the triathlon requires a serious time commitment. The young athlete’s day starts at 5 a.m., when Klus wakes up and heads to the pool at the University of Ottawa or Carleton University to swim for 90 minutes. After that – during the school year – Klus’s mom
R0011644311
drops her off at Bell High School in Nepean. When the school bell rings, Klus heads home for a quick snack, then she’s out the door, headed for running or cycling training at the Kanata YMCA or the Kanata Recreation Complex. “Training is like my way of getting away from life and just focusing on one thing,” said Klus. “It’s like my way to get away from stress.” Her grueling schedule doesn’t leave much time for activities apart from training and schoolwork, forcing the teen to give up some other activities. “There’s not really time for school work and school sports,” she said. “I don’t get to spend as much time with my friends as I would like, but they’re really
supportive,” she added. “Time management is really tricky.” Klus said she hopes to study human kinetics at the University of Ottawa and eventually land a job as a physiotherapist or sports psychologist. AWARD
The Paul van Steen Award was created by the BCA in 2009 to honour the long-time Bridlewood resident and recognize residents over the age of 16 who demonstrate sports excellence. Van Steen was a sports enthusiast who helped create the spring sports program, managed the outdoor rinks, ran a cross-country ski program and refereed the Bridlewood Men’s Hockey Association. He died in 2007 while renewing his hockey referee certification. R0011645667-0927

Ottawa set to roll the dice on casino Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Mayor Jim Watson is backing a new casino for Ottawa and he’ll ask the rest of city council to do the same. The mayor announced his support for an Ottawa casino on Sept. 24 on Twitter. “I will ask council to signal interest, in principle, in a new gaming facility (no location yet). This would allow the OLG (Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation) to seek proposals,” the mayor stated through his Twitter account, @JimWatsonOttawa. An Ottawa casino would help the city earn more revenue at a time when aging infrastructure costs are creeping up, Wat-
son said. He is proposing to spend revenue from a new casino equally on infrastructure renewal, job creation and economic development. “Every Ottawa dollar spent at the Gatineau casino is a dollar lost for Ottawa taxpayers – it is time that we repatriate that money and use it to create jobs here in Ottawa,” Watson said in the statement. Members of the public will have a chance to voice their opinions on a possible Ottawa casino during a finance and economic development committee (FEDco) meeting on Oct. 2. In an unusual move, the meeting will be held in the evening to make it easier for residents to attend. FEDco’s recommendation will be considered by full city council on Oct. 10. If
it gets the thumb’s up, Watson would write to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to signal that the city would support a new gaming facility in principle. In a press release that followed the Twitter announcement, the mayor said such a letter would not commit the city to a casino, but it would allow the OLG to issue a request for bids from possible casino builders. Sometime in 2013, when the bidding is complete and a proponent has been selected, the public will have another chance to tell members of FEDco what they think about the idea. The process is driven by the OLG but the city would have the final say on approving zoning for the site.

Last summer I began a discussion with Donna Gray, the Director Service Ottawa and I am proud to say that you will soon be able to access City information and services right here in Barrhaven! The Ottawa Public Library Board and the ServiceOttawa Department are partnering on a pilot project to provide easier access to City services in the community. On November 5th, the Ruth E. Dickinson library will host a satellite Client Service Centre Counter, for a six-month pilot project. That means local residents will be able to visit the library at Walter Baker Centre (100 Malvern Drive) for services and transactions like: • OC Transpo Products, such as bus tickets and passes • Parking ticket payment, consideration parking, (any kind of parking request) • Water and Tax bill payment • Request for pre-authorized water or tax payment • New and Renewal of Animal Licenses • Solid Waste Bin coupons, calendars, yellow bags • New and Renewal of Burn Permit • Any Service Request
Mom, can we go to another one?
The satellite Client Service Centre Counter at the Ruth E. Dickinson library will be open Monday to Friday, from 10:00am until 4:30pm, which is in keeping with standard operating hours for all Client Service Centres. The satellite counter will be located on the first floor of the branch, beside the circulation counter. The pilot is an evaluation project, and may not necessarily mean a permanent ServiceOttawa location at Ruth E. Dickinson library, however if demand is as high as I expect it to be and there are no other major issues, it will likely become a permanent fixture in the community. This pilot extends the Service Ottawa Services in the library - the library public Internet PCs provide access to Service Ottawa online services to all library customers, so it was a natural fit for the pilot. This of course brings me to my next point, which is to remind you that you can now visit serviceottawa.ca and complete over 250 service requests online from anywhere if you prefer to access services from home.
Get the whole Ottawa story by visiting our 10 community museums. They’re affordable, easy to find, fun to visit and offer hands-on activities that kids love.

Authentic Vietnamese cuisine with a modern touch Nestled in between Tim Horton’s and Pet Valu at Greenbank Hunt Club Centre is a true gem, Authentic Vietnamese Pho House. Serving gorgeously prepared Vietnamese dishes with the freshest ingredients and a uniquely modern touch, this little restaurant has quickly established a very loyal and growing clientele since opening its doors in early 2011. Like many younger entrepreneurs, owner Peter Tran knew from the start that he wanted to establish a sustainable business with a family focus. Cooking has been his whole life since he was a teen: his mother is an accomplished chef and his maternal grandmother worked in the catering industry in Vietnam for more than two decades, leading Peter to begin his career in professional kitchens at the age of 16. After a brief period earning his stripes in restaurant kitchens preparing food for other chefs, Peter quickly moved into cooking. He spent eight years perfecting the art of pho, the classic Vietnamese rice noodle soup with a beef broth, and a variety of other Vietnamese dishes, before starting to think about opening his own restaurant. Peter was keen to leave behind the intense competition found in restaurant kitchens, while also having the chance to bring his high standards for freshness and innovation to his own kitchen. Working with his family was another key motivator, and he has been able to involve his parents, brothers and sister in the restaurant from day one. Peter’s mother is a welcome fixture in the kitchen, preparing ingredients throughout the day and assisting with cooking as needed. Peter’s two younger brothers are very much on hand to help out, including one who is in his second year of a two-year chef training program at Algonquin College. It’s incredibly satisfying for Peter to be able to mentor his brother as he develops as a chef, and to benefit from the fresh ideas he brings to this very innovative kitchen. Peter’s wife is the main server and enjoys the interactions with customers.
With pale green walls, striking black furniture and accents, as well as paintings and artworks from his native Vietnam, Peter has created a cosy atmosphere where his customers can enjoy a meal and conversation. The restaurant counts among its customers many local business people and residents, including seniors who love the healthy dishes, students who order bowls of pho and fruit shakes, and families looking for a welcoming place to enjoy a meal with children. Serious foodies who enjoy authentic Vietnamese cuisine also come from across the National Capital Region. Authentic Vietnamese Pho House truly has something for everyone. Beautiful preparation, healthy choices Peter brings a passion for cooking and the best ingredients to his kitchen every day, and it comes across in the beautiful dishes that he serves up to his customers. With a menu featuring classic Vietnamese dishes such as pho, rice dishes, noodle bowls and spring rolls, as well as new house specials, Peter and his team have ample opportunity to show off their skill with the freshest of ingredients. House specials include a meticulously prepared mango salad, bursting with colourful peppers, onions and herbs and topped with shrimp and a flavourful dressing. Quail served on a bed of lettuce with lemon pepper sauce and rare beef carpaccio have become very popular signature dishes, and crab meat soup is an unusual dish originating in Hanoi that has found new life in Peter’s hands. With the focus being on fresh ingredients, including a
Opening in the late morning, Authentic Vietnamese Pho House offers its fresh and flavourful menu in its entirety until closing seven days a week. For full contact information and opening hours, visit the restaurant’s profile on the Greenbank Hunt Club Centre website: http://greenbankhuntclub.com/profile.cfm?id=2
Enter to win $100 to spend at Authentic Vietnamese Pho House Greenbank Hunt Club Centre has partnered with Authentic Vietnamese Pho House to offer a $100 gift certificate for the restaurant to the winner of a giveaway in October 2012. All new subscribers to the Centre’s electronic newsletter will automatically be entered for the chance to win this tasty prize.

A place for locals and adventurous diners alike As a Barrhaven resident, finding a space for the restaurant he wanted to create close to home was very appealing. When he viewed the space at Greenbank Hunt Club Centre in 2010 - formerly a beading store - he knew he had found the home he was seeking for
his business. Extensive renovations led to the rear half becoming a spacious, professionally outfitted kitchen, and the front half being transformed into a light and airy dining space.
wonderful medley of vegetables and herbs, and beautifully simple preparation at the heart of each dish, Peter’s menu is not only extremely flavourful but also wonderfully healthy. The menu makes healthy eating, including low sodium, vegetarian and gluten-free dining, a snap. Beverages include tea, fruit shakes, soft drinks and the ever popular Bubble Tea.

Tradition of burning leaves
T
his time of year, we all smelled the same at Northcote School. The heavy scent of burning leaves penetrated everything we wore and no amount of airing out could eliminate the odour of our smoke-infested clothes. But none of us minded. Burning leaves was something we all looked forward to at our farm and as far as I knew everyone in Northcote did the same thing. None of us minded the smell of smoke on our clothes- well, that is, we five kids and Mother. Father said making the event into a grand affair was something he had little time for: too many other more important things to do on the farm instead of making a party out of burning leaves. Our front and side yards were full of big maple trees and by the time the last days of summer rolled around the leaves were in some places knee deep. We waited until the limbs were completely bare and
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories then on a Saturday it was time to rake the leaves and pile them into big mounds well away from the house and barns. “You’re asking for trouble,” Father would say. “Just one little spark and the whole place would go up in smoke.” We would start out with heavy jackets on to ward off the chill of the fall evening. My oldest brother, Everett, was always in charge of the matches. He had the lighting of the leaves down pat. He rolled sheets of the Renfrew Mercury into tight cones, and he lit the paper, setting it ablaze. That way he could poke the paper deep into the mounds of leaves, mak-
ing sure it burned from the inside out. Very clever, was my brother Everett. We sat on the kitchen chairs, circling the burning piles, but well back from the fire, we five children and Mother. Father chose to stay in the house reading the Ottawa Farm Journal. If marshmallows were in existence back then, we certainly didn’t know about them. And it is doubtful we could have afforded them anyway. So the only enjoyment we got was sitting on the chairs and watching the raked leaves go up in smoke. Mother always took her mouth organ out on those nights and she expected us to sing along to whatever she was playing. Emerson
refused. Audrey with her clear, sweet voice was the only one who could carry a tune and so she and Mother provided what entertainment there was. I would sit on the chair and listen, watching the flames rise towards the sky and wonder why Father couldn’t see the sheer joy of the evening. It didn’t take long for the piles of leaves to be burnt right to the ground and I often wondered if it was worth the effort. When it was all over and we had hauled the kitchen chairs back into the house, Father would let out a big sigh, as if he carried the cares of the world on his shoulders. He would go out to the yard for the first time since supper was over, and he would pump many pails of water, and pour it over the remnants of the burning leaves. He was taking no chances that the barns and the log house that had been there for three generations would go up in smoke.
Canadian Citizenship not For Sale Our Conservative Government is taking action to strip citizenship and permanent residence status from people who do not play by the rules; who lie, cheat, and scam the system. Having Canadian citizenship is an honour and a privilege, and we will apply the full strength of Canadian law against those who cheapen its integrity. Our Government’s investigation into this type of fraud continues to grow, with nearly 11,000 individuals potentially implicated in applying for citizenship or maintaining permanent resident status illegitimately. We have already started the process of revoking 3,100 fraudulently obtained citizenships. In most cases, those under investigation will use deceitful immigration representatives to fraudulently create evidence of living in Canada while actually residing overseas. This deception is created so that they can falsely document their status and later apply for citizenship. Investigations have found that a family of five may pay upwards of $25,000 over four or more years to create the illusion of Canadian residence. This fraud hurts everyday Canadian families. Those who illegitimately obtain permanent residence or citizenship status have access to taxpayer subsidized education, health care, and other social benefits without ever contributing as taxpayers themselves. It also hurts the reputation of the majority of immigrants who come to Canada by following the rules with honesty and integrity. Over the past six years, under the leadership of Stephen Harper and the Conservative Government, Canada has had the highest sustained level of immigration in history. We are committed to creating an immigration system that brings the world’s best and brightest to Canada, while protecting it against those who would abuse our generosity.

While you’re there, ask the orchard staff to recommend which apples are best for eating and which types are better for baking. For this apple cinnamon braid, you’ll need two or three baking apples. The recipe starts with the dough cycle in your bread-making machine and finishes in the oven. Shaping the dough into a braid is very easy. Give the recipe a try now, and you’ll want to make it again for your guests on Thanksgiving weekend. This bread is nice with breakfast, with coffee or for dessert. APPLE CINNAMON BRAID
Dough • 2/3 cup water • 3 tbsp. margarine or butter, softened • 3 tbsp. white sugar • 1 tsp. salt • 2 cups flour • 1 1/2 tsp. bread machine yeast Filling • 2 cups apples, peeled and sliced • 1 tbsp. white sugar • 1 tbsp. flour • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff • 1/2 tsp. margarine or butter Place the ingredients for the dough into your bread machine in the order given. Select the dough cycle. While the machine is working, prepare the apples. Mix all the ingredients for the filling in a microwave-safe bowl and let sit for 15 minutes. Microwave the apple mixture on high for four to five minutes, stirring at one-minute intervals. When the apples are soft and syrupy, the filling is done. Set it aside to cool. When the dough is ready, remove it from the bread machine. Place it on a lightly floured surface, cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes so it will be easier to work with. On the floured surface, roll the dough into a 33-by-20centimetre pan. That’s about three hand widths long and two hand widths wide. Trim the edges of the dough, if necessary, to get the shape. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, grease the foil and then place the dough on it.
Spoon the filling down the middle of the rectangle, so that the centre third of the dough is covered. To shape the braid, first make cuts in the long side of the dough. Each cut should be 2.5 centimetres apart, and extend from the outer edge of the dough in to the edge of the filling. Next, starting at one end of the rectangle, fold a strip of dough diagonally over the filling. Now, fold a strip of dough from the other side so it overlaps the first strip in the centre. Continue, alternating sides, so that the filling is completely covered. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until double. Use a ruler to measure the height of the braid before and during the rising to tell when it’s ready. Bake at 375 F (190 C) for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. When the bread is done, use the aluminum foil to transfer it to a rack. Slide the foil out from under the braid and let it cool. Slice to serve.

Ping pong a charity sport of the future Organizers surpass fundraising goal Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - A ping pong celebration set to make its return to the Byward Market aims to encourage everyone in the city to grab a racket, don a head band and the finest ping pong whites to serve up for local charities. The third Ottawa Charity Ping Pong Tournament takes place on Sept. 28 at the SpinBin at 310 Dalhousie St. in support of four charities: Do it for Daron, the Youth Services Bureau, Operation Come Home and Christie Lake Kids.
10% off Season’s Pass with the purchase of a multi-day Snow School Program
Pointing out that the volleyball charity pool was well saturated, Michael Kirkpatrick and his friends wanted to hold a charitable event with a bit of bounce to it. According to the table tennis enthusiast, ping pong was the natural option. “The ping pong revolution is upon us and the people in Ottawa are responding,” Kirkpatrick said. The event is meant to be fun for everyone. Players ranging from high skilled to lowskilled as well as those with no skills at all are encouraged to participate. The registration fee is $40 and each player is guaranteed three games. All matches will be refereed. “Ping pong is the sport of the future,” Kirkpatrick said. “It is a sport everyone can play.” One caveat is that organizers have asked that much like in tennis, everyone must dress to impress in the finest “ping pong whites.” The tournament is still ac-
cepting donations with this year’s goal to raise $10,000. But as of Sept. 17, Kirkpatrick, who is also the event treasurer, said the event has already raised $20,000. KINDNESS
“I am blown away by the kindness and generosity of businesses, participants and donors,” he said. In the past, the last two events raised a total of $7,000. Kirkpatrick credits the boost in donations to the changes from last year’s registration and this year. Those participating in the tournament this year have their own donation web page to solicit donations. “They can get all their friends and family and coworkers to donate, I guess it has really helped,” he said. Beyond what the participants can raise, there will also be a silent auction and a table tennis table will be raffled
off. “This event is a lot bigger than we have done in the past,” he said. For the first time, the event has a title sponsor, Verdun Windows and Doors. The food will be provided by Manotick Village Butcher and all participants will receive an official Ottawa Charity Ping Pong wristband and head band. “This year a lot of people

Neighbourhood crime prevention making strides Crime down more than 20 per cent in communities working to curb crime before it happens Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Eight years ago, Lucie Marleau was moved into a war zone when she bought her new home in Vanier, having saved up for 10 years to make the purchase. A concentration of absentee landlords left her adrift on a street of homes housing drug use, prostitution and constant partying. Police had to be called an average of three times a week to deal with dangerous and intimidating behaviour and Marleau stopped inviting friends over because of the loud partying and beer bottles and dog excrement thrown onto her patio. She felt desperate and fearful. Then Crime Prevention Ottawa offered her some help to work on changing the neighbourhood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and others â&#x20AC;&#x201C; took (Crime Prevention Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) motto to heart,â&#x20AC;? Marleau told the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community and protective services committee on Sept. 20. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I became the change I wanted to see in my community.â&#x20AC;? Since 2007, Marleau and Together for Vanier are one of three neighbourhood groups to have been involved in Crime Prevention Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community-based crime prevention initiative. Between 2006 and 2011, each of the three neighbourhoods, including Vanier, Lowertown East and Pinecrest-Queensway, have seen more than a 20 per cent drop in crime.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a statistical drop,â&#x20AC;? said Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, whose ward contains two of the targeted communities: Vanier and Lowertown East. Those two neighbourhoods each saw a 20 per cent drop in crime, while west-end neighbourhood Pinecrest-Queensway had a 27 per cent drop in crime. Crime also went down across the city, but by a lesser margin: 15 per cent. The approach offers hope that communities facing a seemingly insurmountable challenge of overcoming crime and the effects of poverty can turn their neighbourhoods around.
and innovative solutions.â&#x20AC;? Part of that resiliency involves making the initiatives self sufficient, so Crime Prevention Ottawa has worked to find outside funding for the projects. Community-based crime prevention initiatives in Lowertown and PinecrestQueensway havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t received Crime Prevention Ottawa funding since 2010. Even without direct funding, the iniatives have taken on a life of their own. In
Lowertown, a successful push for community engagement has lead to reclaiming Jules Morin Park from drug traffickers and users as well as sex workers. TAKING BACK PARKS
Now, work is just beginning on renovations to the park to provide it with a soccer field and make the park one level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A space once dominated
by the hustle and bustle of a vibrant community was vacant,â&#x20AC;? said Holly Brown, community development coordinator at the Lowertown Community Resource Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With persistence we are coming to re-own our park.â&#x20AC;? This year, Crime Prevention Ottawa launched an online resource to support community-based crime prevention: the Neighbourhood Toolkit. It offers info and resources
to help residents create safer communities and build community spirit. The website can be found at toolkit.crimepreventionottawa.ca/.

THREE STEPS
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a three-pronged approach that involves creating safe and welcoming physical environments and being actively engaged with partners in the community. But perhaps the most important element is building a group of actively engaged residents. From neighbourhood gatherings, movies in the park and community gardens to safety audits, walkabouts and youth leadership development, pushing for improvements wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be possible without passionate resident driving the change, said Nancy Worsfold, executive director of Crime Prevention Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a community approach, looking at the community context in which people were living,â&#x20AC;? Worsfold said. \â&#x20AC;&#x153;This approach engages more people, builds resilience in the community

EMC news - The city’s first-ever in-depth report on its infrastructure reveals that Ottawa needs to boost repair spending from $80 million to $165 million a year by 2022. Just days after spending

Urban boundary needs to be reigned in for smart growth $30 billion in roads, water, transit, recreation and cultural infrastructure. None of the infrastructure is unsafe right now, but transportation infrastructure, such as roads, has the highest percentage in really poor shape, with 25 per cent of the city’s $11.2 billion in transportation infrastructure rated in poor to very poor condition. Transit infrastructure is in the best shape, with $1.4 billion of assets rated 79 per cent in good to very good condition. The report didn’t include detail on how the city will pay for the increases, but the options are limited: raise it from taxes, or take on more debt. Funding could theoretically come from the federal and/or provincial levels of government, although no new infrastructure programs are forthcoming. The infrastructure report was only tabled on Sept. 19; debate and discussion will take place on Oct. 2. During that meeting, city treasurer Nancy Schepers will also present a proposed plan for finding the needed funds, which are all expressed in 2012 dollars and don’t account for inflation.
There are spikes in the city’s infrastructure spending in 2012 and 2014 from the city’s Ottawa on the Move road rebuilding project, which shows that city council has already made infrastructure repair a priority, said Alain Gonthier, the city’s asset management boss.
“The cost in terms of dollars and quality of life was very real.” MAYOR JIM WATSON
“With Ottawa on the Move you’ve allowed yourself a bit of breathing room,” Schepers added. The city currently carries around $1.4 billion in debt, which is less than the limits set by city council and the province. Schepers wouldn’t say whether taxes would have to go up, but Watson was firm on maintaining a maximum tax increase of 2.5 per cent annually. Last year alone, the city added $1 billion in new in-
frastructure assets it will have to pay to maintain over the years. When asked if the report was a wake-up call that the city should cut back on building new infrastructure and focus instead on maintaining the assets it already has on the books, Watson said city council’s focus on reining in the urban boundary was an attempt to do just that. “Obviously we’re always going to be growing, but we have to have smart growth,” Watson said. “(It’s) one of the reasons why I was fighting to preserve the urban boundary. The farther out we go, the more expensive it is. We know that growth does not pay for itself.” River Coun. Maria McRae, who heads the city’s environment committee, said the city needs to include future maintenance costs in the “financial implications” sections of reports before council approves projects. “It’s short sighted and myopic of council sometimes,” said McRae, adding that councillors are sometimes just focused on “snipping the ribbon,” not on what it will cost to maintain infrastructure over its lifetime.

EMC news - For educator Marianna Vakopoulos the business world was a foreign place. The social service worker, who has a background in teaching with the Ottawa Mission, said she really believed in
starting a tutoring business but didn’t know where to start. “I taught adults who were homeless or at risk of being homeless,” she said. “The education piece is much more successful if you take things like life skills into consideration. Really get the whole picture.”

Next generation key to Ontario business: Chiarelli Enter Exploriem.org, a not-for-proďŹ t company designed to help entrepreneurs start their businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a jewel I found,â&#x20AC;? Vakopoulos said. The centre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; located on the second ďŹ&#x201A;oor of the Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; offers a virtual ofďŹ ce with mentoring and support services for business owners that are starting out. Executive director and Ottawa Senators founder Bruce Firestone said he started discussing the idea with Carleton University professors Tony Baletti and John Callahan in 2001. The group incorporated the idea in 2004 and created a not-for-proďŹ t organization. The centre is staffed by three full-time and two parttime employees and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing. The Ontario Trillium
Foundation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the form of program manager Suzanne BĂŠdard announced a $159,300-grant to help Exploriem offer services to 100 young entrepreneurs over the next two years. Aside from mentoring, and the meeting and ofďŹ ce space, the offers events like the Bootstrap Awards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that highlights the work of innovative start-up companies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program is a good ďŹ t with our mandate of helping to create vibrant communities,â&#x20AC;? BĂŠdard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only is Exploriem creating future leaders of business, but future social leaders as well.â&#x20AC;? Firestone said as a young entrepreneur he would have used a service like Exploriem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives them somewhere to have meetings other than a coffee shop or their momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basement,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I had had the help available here I
would have made fewer mistakes.â&#x20AC;? Adbul Haseeb Awan, started with a tech business that developed a device called the chip tag â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something that ďŹ ts into the car and can be read by scanners in parking garages to negate the need for a pass. Later he developed a company selling wood-frame sunglasses. Awan, who came to Canada as an international student got his start at the University of Ottawa studying business and later got support from Exploriem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was fortunate to get involved with Exploriem,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve provided me assistance and mentoring on every aspect of beginning my career as an entrepreneur. My goal is to create jobs and contribute to Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy.â&#x20AC;? Aside from providing the 100 entrepreneurs with men-
tors and other support, Firestone said the Trillium grant will allow staff to provide outreach at local high schools, colleges and universities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want young people to consider entrepreneurship as a career path,â&#x20AC;? he said. Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli said he was
pleased to be back celebrating the work Exploriem does and looks forward to the centre announcing moving to a larger location in the west end next month. Chiarelli said young entrepreneurs are a â&#x20AC;&#x153;signiďŹ cant building blockâ&#x20AC;? of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job creation strategy,
calling them the business worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;farm team.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The younger generation needs to step up so Ontario can compete with the world economy on new ideas and products,â&#x20AC;? Chiarelli said.

Hardwood flooring innovations Nowadays, homeowners renovating their homes often look to wood flooring to replace existing floors. Hardwood is coveted by buyers, and its clean, inviting look makes it a neutral design element that goes with many different types of decor. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardwood flooring is not the hardwood of the past. There are many options from which to choose, including varied colors, types of wood, patterns, and inlays. In addition, innovations in sealants enable hardwood to be durable and hold up better against the daily grind. About 25 years ago, a homeowner basically had to settle for wood flooring that was solid oak strips at 2.25 inches wide. The strips were nailed in place by a carpenter and finished on site. Now, more than half of hardwood is fabricated and prefinished at a factory and is much easier to install -- even by the homeowner himself. The range of styles and colors is also very extensive. Planks can be chosen in thin strips or wider options. Native hardwoods are available, as are offshore woods from different countries. Finishes can also be customized with higher gloss or matte choices. For homeowners interested in going green, hardwood flooring also presents many options. A growing trend is using reclaimed wood that is recycled and then refinished into new items. Lumber may be reclaimed from old buildings, railroads, barns, homes, and even river
bottoms. The varied history of the wood adds to its aesthetic appeal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for homeowners to know that the price point for hardwood will vary depending on species and finish. However, the way the boards are cut will also be a consideration for homeowners. Plainsawn or flatsawn boards have growth rings that run at anywhere from 0 to 45-degree angles to the wide surfaces of the board, with lots of loops and swirls. Quartersawn boards have rings that run from 45- to 90-angles and are not as lively in pattern. Quartersawn boards will expand in thickness depending on moisture and temperature. Plainsawn will shrink and swell widthwise. Quartersawn tend to take wear better and more evenly, contributing to their typically more expnesive price tag. Homeowners can also choose among engineered wood products, which are essentially several layers of wood veneer adhered to a solid backing of plywood and sealed. This layered construction can make engineered flooring more stable and durable than traditional hardwood flooring. That means it can be used in rooms where hardwood was long frowned upon, like basements and bathrooms. Wood flooring will continue to garner mass appeal and be the preference of many homeowners. With new innovations and availability, there are more options than ever for discerning homeowners. SH112418

Green technology for your home
Carpeting Cost-conscious homeowners often love how eco-friendly carpeting options are typically lower in
price. Recyclable carpets require few, if any, toxic materials to manufacture. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, homeowners who enjoy changing their homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decor from time to time will find ecofriendly carpet tiles are easy to install and subsequently replace when the itch to change a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior arises.
cork, rubber or even bamboo for their homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flooring. But eco-friendly flooring is not necessarily limited to wood flooring. Recyclable linoleum flooring is also available, and these new products are typically far less toxic than the linoleum floors of yesteryear.
Building Materials
Home Office
When building a dream home, homeowners also have a host of green building materials at their disposals. Be it mold-resistant drywall made from recycled paper or eco-friendly siding options, homeowners building their dream home or adding on to an existing home can choose eco-friendly building materials for both the interior and exterior of their homes.
Working from home has steadily grown in popularity as technology has made it easier for employees to get their work done without having to head into the office. For homeowners who want to add a home office to their homes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to make that home office environmentally friendly. Lighting fixtures are often a primary concern when designing a home office, in which men and women want to mirror the well-lit environment theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re accustomed to at traditional office buildings. To illuminate the room in an effective and eco-friendly way, individuals can install LED lighting fixtures. Such fixtures have a long life expectancy and use far
Flooring An increasing percentage of homeowners prefer wood flooring over carpeting. Fortunately, there are several ecofriendly flooring options that use recycled and reliable wood from old buildings. In addition, homeowners can choose eco-friendly options like
less energy than their incandescent counterparts. Another way to go green at the home office without spending much money is to make room for some plants in the office. Plants will absorb toxins in the air and also improve the indoor air quality, which many office workers cite as a problem in traditional offices that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t place too great an emphasis on indoor air quality.

Perhaps no decade has witnessed more rapid technological advancements than the opening decade of the 21st century. At the turn of the century, cellular phones had still yet to catch on universally, and few households had highdefinition televisions. Ten years later, cell phones are so prevalent even many school-aged children have them, and rare is the household that has not embraced HDTV. And technology has advanced in other areas as well. Among the more notable advancements is the increase in ecofriendly technologies. Homeowners hoping to make their homes more environmentally friendly have a host of options at their beck and call that enable them to do just that. No matter which area of the home needs to be addressed, chances are homeowners can find ways to improve their homes in an eco-friendly way.

New chemical to be tested against ash beetles Infected ash wood could be used in LRT stations Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - An experimental chemical insecticide and a different way to process infected ash wood are two new ways the city is ďŹ ghting the emerald ash borer. Two dozen Ottawa trees will be injected with a new insecticide called ConďŹ dor over the next couple of weeks, making the city only the second Canadian municipality to try the treatment against the beetles, which burrow under ash treesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bark, slowly killing them. Its recent Health Canada approval means it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even available for sale yet, so Ottawa is getting the insecticide for free from the company as it assesses ConďŹ dorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effectiveness and impact. That announcement came with news that the beetles have spread farther across the city.
New locations identiďŹ ed this year include: Barrhaven, Kanata North, Fitzroy Harbour, Stittsville, Richmond, Manotick, Metcalfe, Vernon, Vars and Navan. Environment committee chairwoman Coun. Maria McRae said it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty frighteningâ&#x20AC;? how quickly the emerald ash borer is spreading across Ottawa. The beetle was ďŹ rst identiďŹ ed here in 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really quite a tragedy to see the number of trees lost,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Jim Watson, adding he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see Ottawa lose its reputation as a green city. The city has already injected 2,309 trees with an insecticide called Tree Azin, including 262 new trees as part of $1 million in extra EAB funding approved by city council in July. The city expects to have 4,000 to 5,000 trees on a two-year inoculation cycle by the end of 2013. Some trees canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be saved by Tree Azin insecticide injections at a cost of $200 to $400 per tree, so the city has a strategy to plant a variety of species to replace them. The city will have planted just shy of 4,000 new trees in 2012 by this fall: 1,267 trees were planted along streets
and in parks this spring, and another 2,700 will be planted this fall thanks to the rest of that $1 million in extra funding. Many of those trees will be larger 50 millimetre diameter trees, which residents have said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re rather see than the 25 millimetre diameter trees the city has been planting. The city will send a notice to residents on streets where planting will occur before planting a new tree beside a dying ash tree. If the tree is a city tree on private property, that property owner will be a second notice before the city comes to plant the new tree, and a marker will be placed on their lawn to show them where the new tree will go. In the future, McRae hinted that the city would be open to adding a new tool into its arsenal: biological pests. Wasps are being used to ďŹ ght the emerald ash borer in Minnesota, and Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forester is watching to see if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something worth talking about for this city. NO MORE ASH AT TRAIL ROAD
Infested ash wood will no longer be shipped or stored at
PET OF THE WEEK
the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trail Road landďŹ ll site. Ottawa Cedar Lumber, a company located just east of Ottawa, successfully bid to sort of process the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ash wood. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency also signed off on the bid. According to the city, the family company at 2188 Dunning Rd. in Cumberland operates a sawmill and has been producing rough-cut wood and large volumes of
wood chips for the past eight years. Owner Luc Laplante said he plans to turn much of the usable wood into lumber for ďŹ&#x201A;ooring or furniture, but the city has discussed buying back some of the wood at a reduced rate to be used in the future light rail stations, perhaps for benches or wood paneling. The leftovers can be turned into chips for co-generation energy production.

Signing on with Ottawa Cedar Lumber will reduce the risk of spreading the bugs by minimizing the processing time and moving the wood directly to the processing site. The city also expects the tipping cost fees of 30 per cent to drop. Tree removal was set to resume on Sept. 24. Homeowners on streets where infected ash trees will be cut down will receive a notice one week in advance.

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 CATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

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 doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remove just the claws â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it amputates the end digit from the paw, similar in scope to cutting off a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ nger 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 ďŹ nal 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 ďŹ rst 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 ďŹ lled with pebbles or pennies, or slap a wall or a table) or use a water-ďŹ lled 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 catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nails can help reduce scratching. You should clip off the sharp tips of your catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claws on his front feet every two weeks or so. More companion animal information is available at www.ottawahumane.ca.

You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eliminate scratching behaviours: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;unappealingâ&#x20AC;? 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. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take your cat over to the scratching post and position her paws on the post to show her what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to do. This will likely have the opposite effect and

Ways to lower car insurance rates at any age Drivers should look for more savings regardless of driver profile. Auto insurance is a major expense in a household budget. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandatory to have insurance, overpaying is not necessary. There are simple ways of getting a more affordable auto insurance rate, regardless of age or driving experience. NEW DRIVERS Use of a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;good student discountâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is one way to save on insurance for a young driver. Many insurance companies offer a discount for students who carry a minimum required grade average. Another way to save is by taking a driver education course from an approved school; to learn the rules of the
road. Be sure to inquire about these options, as they may not always be advertised. DRIVERS OVER 25 There may have been some improvement in yearly premiums for drivers with some driving experience. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to also ask about further discounts. These may include: installing a security system, driving an eco-friendly car, or installing safety features such as winter tires. If recently married, combine policies with your spouse and take advantage of bulk discounting by having more than one car insured with the company. EXPERIENCED DRIVERS An experienced driver with a good driving record may be eligible for better insurance rates; the key is to find the insurance company that will offer the lowest rate. Shopping around for car insurance is the easiest way to find a better way. Other ways
to save include changing your deductible â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps carrying a higher deductible; or, combining home and auto insurance policies with the same insurance company. DRIVERS OVER 55 YEARS Mature drivers over 55 years old may qualify for some of the best rates available. Some insurance companies across Canada specialize in getting the best rates for mature drivers. There are also retirement benefits to keep in mind: no commute distance may mean a lower rate. Make sure the insurance company changes the commuting status to pleasure use. MORE TIPS Remember to review your policy frequently. Tickets come off your driving record in three years from the date that you are convicted and accidents come off in six years. If a ticket or accident has come off your driving record,
check with your insurance company to make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not still paying for that ticket or accident. If you drive an older car, you may want to remove the collision coverage if you feel that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not worth the extra yearly cost to compensate you for your vehicle value. This will reduce your insurance premium. Many car insurance companies may actually offer a lower rate to drivers who pay their premium in full on renewal than to those who choose to pay in installments. Monthly payments often come with fees that are charged on each installment. Paying the whole thing up front is a quick and simple way to pay less. No matter how old you are, it is always a good idea to shop around for a better rate. Quoting sites like ComparaSave.com help drivers find the lowest insurance rate available within their network of over 30 insurance companies.

Life doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand still and neither should your investments.
To see if rebalancing your investment portfolio makes sense for you, call or stop by today. 50
Rebalancing your portfolio can help your investments keep up with your changing needs. Over the long term, time can have as much of an effect on you as it does on your investments. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marriage, children or the inescapable fact that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re older now, things change. While you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold back tomorrow, you can make sure your investments match your current circumstances and goals. That way, your portfolio can continue to work for you in the future. Fortunately, getting back on track can be simple. A complimentary Edward Jones Portfolio Review can help you identify where your investments stand in relation to your goals and how to get them moving in the right direction. This way, you can keep time on your side.
