EMC news - Eric Czapnik was a determined man, shifting career paths at age 48 to achieve his goal of becoming a police officer. So having a street named Eric Czapnik Way is fitting, said his son, Lukasz Galazk. “I know my father’s watching right now and probably has the biggest smile on his face, because he always liked things to go his way,” Galazk said. “And now he can – he got Czapnik’s Way.” The street adjacent to the Orléans community police station off St. Joseph Boulevard, running between the station and the Quality Inn, was officially renamed Eric Czapnik Way on Sept. 13. Czapnik, who worked from the Orléans station, was fatally stabbed while on duty outside the Civic hospital in the early morning of Dec. 29, 2009. His window, Anna Korutowska, and children Lukasz Galazk, Catherine Czapnik and Anthony Korutowski, arrived in a police escort at the unveiling ceremony. Arthur Czapnik, his son, was unable to attend. For six-year-old Anthony the chance to ride in a police car was the highlight of his day, he said. See CZAPNIK, page 2

EMC news - It was the most booty shaking I’ve seen in Orléans since Carivibe. I took the Thursday, 9:15 a.m. zumba class with Paula Phillips at the Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex, where I was greeted by a large crew of regulars. It was surprising to learn
that the 30 or so people there made it one of Phillips’ smaller classes. Her record in the fitness studio is 89. Zumba is a latin-based dance class, designed for maximum fitness benefits. In the hour-long class, participants move to a bit of warm-up music followed by a mixture of high- and medium-intensity tracks. “It’s the perfect blend of dance and fitness combined,” Phillips said. Phillips has changed her style slightly over the years and doesn’t use a microphone
when she teaches. Instead of counting out the beats to the track or explaining dance moves through the microphone, she dances at the front of the room and the rest of the class follows suit. The regulars know the tracks inside and out, but I comfortably settled into the back of the class and made up my own variations when I got lost. My neighbour made up a few of her own spins and shimmeys too, so I didn’t feel out of place.

EMC news - The Tenth Line Medical Centre is moving forward and has set an expected opening date of late January or February 2013. On Nov. 21 and 22 from 6 to 9 p.m. patients are able to register at the centre, located above the Shoppers Drug Mart at Tenth Line Road and Brian Coburn Boulevard. The new medical centre has six physicians confirmed to join, said assistant director Alex Almendrades. They hope to have five more doc-
tors in the near future, he said. Services offered will include blood-collecting services for registered patients, physiotherapy, chiropractic care and a chiropodist. A redesigned website will be launched near the end of September, but updates are being posted currently as well as to the Facebook page.

Czapnik was rookie cop at age 48 Continued from front
Korutowska was met by police Chief Charles Bordeleau and Mayor Jim Watson, who accompanied her to the main stage. Bordeleau reflected on the sacrifice made by Czapnik, and the legacy he leaves for young officers and the community. “We want the name, Eric Czapnik Way, to be a reminder to everybody to pursue your dreams and never give up on what you really want to do,” Bordeleau said. “It’s a message to our young people as
well, that it’s never too late to pursue your dreams.” Watson, Couns. Bob Monette and Eli El-Chanitry, chair of the Ottawa police services board, also spoke. El-Chantiry said the street should be a reminder to the community of the risks that officers take every day to protect the city. After the ceremony, Korutowska said that she wants the community to recognize that despite recent negativity in the news about police, those are isolated incidents, and the level of service her husband gave is the norm.
“I truly hope that (people who see the street) will know who Eric Czapnik is, and if they don’t that they take the time to figure out who he was and what he did for the city,” she said. “Not as much how he died, but how he lived.” recovery
Galazk said it took a long time for the family to be able to enjoy time together following their father’s death. “Almost two-and-a-half years have passed since the incident, and finally the conviction,” he said.
R0011554644
Community and citizen donations helped send the family to Disney World this past spring. “For the first time since Eric’s passing, my family enjoyed some much needed time together – fun and laughter at Disney World,” Galazk said. “I had lots of fun,” Anthony said. “Every time we’re going to pass through the street, we’ll remember not the tragedy, but the character,” said Galazk, who spoke on behalf of the Czapnik family during the ceremony. “The character of a man that put others before him. The character of a man who would not give up his gun, no matter what happened, always thinking of others. With that thought, Eric made the world a better place.”
Anthony Korutowski, 6, shakes police Chief Charles Bordeleau’s hand as he arrives for the street renaming for his father, Eric Czapnik. brier dodge/metroland

I was told it takes about five or six times to really get the hang of the class. While I worked up a sweat, I never felt breathless or felt that I needed to stop for a rest. For seniors and beginners, there is the zumba gold class, which Phillips also teaches. She also teaches zumba toning with weights, and zumbatonic for kids at Bob MacQuarrie. While zumba has really taken off in the last two years, Phillips has been teaching it for five years. She brought it to Bob McQuarrie, where she has taught fitness classes and been a personal trainer for 17 years, after learning it during a live class at a conference in Toronto. She was bitten by the bug. “This is what I was meant to do,” she said she thought after taking her first class. When the first certification course came to Canada, she signed up. Her regulars love coming to her classes because she knows such a variety of tracks that the classes don’t get repetitive. I’ve taken zumba classes several times before and noticed that the quality of the instructor completely sets the tone for the entire class, so I wasn’t surprised to hear Phillips has so many loyal participants. Some of the people in my class would return again in the evening to take zumba with Phillips for their second class of the day. “If you love what you’re doing, you’re more apt to go,” Phillips said. “You need to find exercise you love so you can stick with it.” She now teaches seven zumba classes a week, exclusively at Bob MacQuarrie. “It’s a lot of shaking,” she said. She loves teaching it, because it’s one of the fitness classes where participants both show up and leave with a smile. She’s seen many a participant shrink “before her eyes” as they fall in love with zumba and lose weight. And despite the many changes that the Orléans fitness industry has seen since Phillips first started teaching, zumba isn’t leaving anytime soon. “I’ll be here forever,” she said. The City of Ottawa is running their free Try It program until Sept. 23. City classes, like the zumba class at Bob MacQuarrie, are free to try until then.

Former patient lighting the night for leukemia cure

EMC news – A cancer survivor is spearheading this year’s Light the Night walk to find a cure for leukemia and other blood cancers. Craig Peleshok was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia in September 2008, and four years later he is trying to end the cycle of cancer forever. While recovering from his third and final round of chemotherapy in January 2009, Peleshok saw a commercial for Montreal’s Light the Night five-kilometre walk, which is one of many organized across the country by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. He called the information line to ask when Ottawa’s walk would take place, and discovered the capital didn’t have one. “For a year I tried to get a walk to Ottawa,” he said. Organizers told him it was too much work, that it was very difficult to start such an event in a big city. But after much persistence, Peleshok finally succeeded in bringing the event to Ottawa. In October 2010, Ottawa’s first Light the Night event took place downtown – and was more successful than Peleshok could have dreamed. “We expected to have 500 walkers and to raise $50,000. We got 1,500 walkers and raised $250,000,” he said. In 2011, Peleshok took on the role of corporate walk chairman to attract sponsors and partnerships. That year,

more dollars for leukemia and lymphoma research than previous years. The event will begin at the Marion Dewar Plaza outside city hall. Participants will walk to Pretoria Bridge and back (provided there aren’t thousands more people than expected, in which case a backup route will be used) and the walkers will celebrate with entertainment and communion. Before the walk, organizers will hold a formal opening ceremony and a bilingual nondenominational service. “It’s overwhelming when you see all the balloons and things. The success of the walk has come from family and friends of people with leukemia or who they’ve lost to leukemia,” Peleshok said.
Peleshok was 41 when he first experienced symptoms of the leukemia he would spend four months fighting. At the end of August 2008, he was on vacation with his partner in Lake George. He woke up that Sunday with some blood on his pillow, and figured he had bit his cheek during the night. The following week, he noticed bruises on the backs of his legs that kept growing and darkening. By Friday, he was so weak he could hardly help his neighbour move some unwanted items out of his garage. “It was all I could do to carry little things. I chalked it up to being fat, old and out of shape,” he laughed. That night, he was cooking dinner for his twin daughters,
who were celebrating their sweet 16. He could hardly stand. Despite his protests, his family took him to the emergency ward and he was admitted almost immediately. By Saturday night – and after an enormous needle had been drilled into his hip for a bone marrow sample, the most agonizing pain he had ever felt – Peleshok received the news that he had acute promyelocytic leukemia. Doctors later told him that if he had waited until his scheduled appointment the following Tuesday, he would have been dead. While the news was difficult to hear, Peleshok said his doctor saved him when he told him that his treatment and recovery would be determined by his attitude. Peleshok said he firmly believes that his successful recovery was also influenced by a book he read about three months before his diagnosis, called The Last Lecture. It was written by a professor dying of cancer, who urged others to make their dreams realities. “If I hadn’t read that book a month or two before, I’d be dead,” he said. Peleshok celebrated his recovery later in 2009 when he married his second wife, and he now has a young toddler at home. He said his experience has led him to help others beat the disease as well. “I’ve been given this disease for some reason and I’d like to give back,” he said.

Casino downtown
A LOSING MOVE Feeling lucky? If you said no, you’re probably following the Ontario government’s plan to move slot machines out of racetracks by March 31, 2013. Taxpayers in Ontario benefit from nearly $1 billion a year sent to essential services from the slots. Since they’ve been in place, the OLG Slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway alone have generated $643 million for the provincial government that is specifically earmarked for health care in the province. The government is hoping this good fortune gets even better by taking the show downtown. This is more than a bad break for the people of Ottawa— it’s bad business.
OLG’s 2010 Net Profit 11% 49% 40%
The slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway produce $70 million annually for Ontario taxpayers. By contrast, despite being only 2.5 km from downtown Ottawa, the slots and gaming tables at Casino Lac-Leamy earned a net profit of $5 million less than that in 2011. The costs of doing business downtown are significantly higher and make profit return harder to manage. The large Casino Lac-Leamy has 400 more slot machines. Everyone in Ontario has an interest in seeing these earnings from the Rideau Carleton Raceway slots upheld.
fundraisers and entertainment shows that have been thriving over the past 12 years.
Since slot machines were introduced to the Rideau Carleton Raceway in 2000, they have generated $52 million for the City of Ottawa. Council has said this revenue helps keep property taxes lower for all residents. The venue is also an ideal location for the fairs,
These numbers are possible because the Rideau Carleton Raceway site is easily accessible at the south end of Ottawa, and it has low operating costs and 2500 free parking spaces. In return, more money flows back to the city and Ontario taxpayers.
From slots at racetracks From lotteries and bingos From casinos
The people of Ottawa are smart spenders and need to speak up. They resent paying for parking. They like quality food at affordable prices. Above all, they hate seeing their tax dollars lost on bad investments. Send your concerns to your City Councillor today!

City offers tax help for farmers Correction Deadlines extended until spring Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - In an effort to help drought-stricken farmers, city council has extended property tax deadlines until next spring. The extension applies to farmers who participate in the city’s Farm Grant Program and allows farmers to pay their taxes by April 25, 2013 instead of the normal deadline December 6, 2012. The interim property tax due date has also been extended
to April 25, 2013. Farm Grant Program participants will also get a grant to cover any penalties and fees they would have been hit with starting at the original tax due date. Mayor Jim Watson told city council that he was very pleased the city has found a way to assist farmers who are facing “extraordinary circumstances.” Between 500 and 800 of the city’s 4,000 eligible farm properties usually participate in the Farm Grant Program
each year, at a cost of around $30,000 for the city to administer. In order to be eligible, the land must be classified as farmland by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) and it must not be owned by a commercial enterprise. The motion approved by city council on Sept. 12 also indicated that the city will look at reducing rent for local city-run farmers’ markets and the possibility of providing water to farms where wells have run dry.
In the article “South Ottawa Race Day hopes to end brain cancer forever” published Sept. 13 in the Manotick EMC, the date of the event was incorrect. The event’s date is Sunday, Sept. 30.

OPINION EDITORIAL
Keep Terry Fox’s dream alive
I
f you look up the word “hope� in the dictionary, you’ll probably find a photograph of Terry Fox. Or at least you should. Terry Fox was only 18 years old when he was diagnosed with bone cancer and had his leg amputated above the knee – an age when most of us are starting our lives: going to university, beginning a career, falling in love for the first time. He died at the age of 22.
In those four short years, Fox managed to inspire generations of Canadian citizens. He made us learn to hope in the face of an awful disease that has touched all our lives. He taught us to fight back no matter what the odds. When Fox learned he had cancer he decided to run a Marathon of Hope across Canada. His goal was to raise enough money to discover a cure for cancer. Starting in April 1980, Fox
started his run by dipping his artificial leg in the Atlantic Ocean in St John’s, NL. He ran 42 kilometres a day, the equivalent of a full marathon. On Sept. 1, 1980, after running for 143 days and 5,373 kilometres, Terry was forced to stop his Marathon of Hope outside of Thunder Bay, Ont.. The cancer had spread to his lungs. On June 28, 1981, Fox died. But his memory lives on in
the hearts and minds of generations of Canadians, who continue his battle every year by holding Terry Fox Runs across the country. The runs have raised hundreds of millions of dollars and funded numerous advancements in cancer research, saving countless lives. But a cure is yet to be found. This year, Fox’s brother, Fred Fox, visited the campus of Carleton University, urging the
students to keep Terry’s dream alive. Carleton is one of eight Canadian universities to join Terry’s College and University Student Engagement (CAUSE). The colleges and universities have committed to holding a major campus event that includes runs and other fundraisers with all proceeds going to the Terry Fox Foundation. Most communities across Canada planned to hold their annual runs on Sunday, Sept. 16, including an Ottawa run at Carleton University. Kanata and Stittsville were scheduled to hold their annual
Terry Fox Run that day as well, an event that usually attracts hundred of west-end runners. The Kanata/Stittsville run has raised $550,000 since it first started in 1989. Last year, Constance Bay held its first Terry Fox Run, attracting 75 participants and raising more than $4,400 for cancer research. Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s John Bell said that while great strides have been made in cancer research over the past 30 years, there is still much more to be done. We must continue to keep Terry’s dream alive – one step at a time.

You too can be a Waste Explorer CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
I
f you don’t automatically throw out everything that shows up in your mailbox, you will have seen the document that announces a major change in your life. As of the end of next month your garbage is only going to be picked up every two weeks. Although there was considerable debate about this at city hall, the circular in your mailbox reflects that hardly at all. “Important changes are coming,â€? it begins, but all it contains by way of explanation is a cryptic little note at the bottom: “Think about it ‌,â€? it says. “It all has to go somewhere.â€? This is true, probably, as is: “It all has to go sometime,â€? which is the issue at hand. So what are we to make of it, the fact that we go from garbage pickup every week to garbage pickup every other? The most dramatic interpretation is that Ottawa has become a Third World city. In many parts of the world, garbage pickup every week can only be dreamed about, the key to improved sanitation and public health. Yet here is Ottawa, going the other way. To support this interpretation we can look at many other areas in which Canada, through the culture of cutback, has descended from previous heights. If, on the other hand, you are the kind of person who sees the glass as half full, you will have a completely different take. Less frequent garbage pickup means that garbage needs to be picked up less frequently, which means that there is less of it. This encouraging theory might be difficult to prove empirically, but the anecdotal evidence is there. You know it when you look down your
street on garbage night and notice that some people are putting out no garbage cans at all. None. Everything they need to throw out is on one of the recycling containers, black, blue and green. We salute them, although we do wonder what they do with all that plastic packaging. Maybe they don’t buy anything wrapped in plastic. There’s a challenge. Is it possible that we have been so well-educated in the philosophy of recycling that we don’t need to put anything at all in the garbage can? Have we bought in so completely to the recycling message that we have made garbage obsolete? If so, it may be because recycling has been made so easy for us. We don’t need to buy the recycling boxes; they are delivered to our doors. Filling them is no problem, nor is sorting them. Neither effort nor thought is required. It is too bad that no one one has thought of ways to make it easy for us to be as virtuous in other areas. We could use some help cleaning up after our pets, giving more support to charities and merging from three lanes into two on the Queensway. Meanwhile, we don’t know whether to be comforted or not by the notion that it all has to go somewhere. The city’s website page on recycling provides something called a Waste Explorer – maybe not the most attractive concept when you think about it, but a handy way to tackle those difficult which-box-is-which questions. For example, the Waste Explorer will tell you that alfalfa sprouts go in the green bin, that artificial plants go in the regular garbage, as do bicycle tires, as do rubber wine corks; wooden orange crates go in the regular garbage, but wood chips go in the green bin; some items, such as beer kegs are identified as having “multiple options� but when you click on that you are told that multiple options means take them back to the beer store. A few paragraphs ago we thought that recycling was simple. Now we’re not so sure. At least we only have to think about the garbage every other week, when we put out our wooden orange crates.

Advisory groups cut back Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - City council has approved slashing the number of citizen advisory groups at city hall from 15 to five. The move also shifted The Ottawa Built Heritage Advisory Committee (OBHAC) from an advisory group to a subcommittee of planning committee mostly comprised of councillors, and a seniors’ group will become an annual round table event instead. The changes are aimed at saving $190,000 annually. When the matter was discussed by a joint finance and governance committee on Aug, 30, Glebe resident Bob Brocklebank likened the restructuring to a “mercy killing.” The city has allowed the advisory committees to wither and become irrelevant, and killing them is the final stage, Brocklebank said. “Put advisory committees out of their misery,” he said. Creating a heritage sub-
committee that includes more city councillors than citizen experts is a move that has come under fire from heritage advocates. The deputy city clerk, Lesley Donnelly, says the city has had continuous issues recruiting good members for the built heritage advisory committee, so lowering the number of members and elevating it to a subcommittee should help attract the kind of candidates the city is looking for, Donnelly told councillors. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko wasn’t convinced. “My sense is that we’ve done a little bit too much streamlining and it’s gone too far. Heritage… is one area in particular that’s gone too far,” he said during the Sept. 12 council meeting. Donnelly said council members who sit on that committee will become “heritage advocates” for heritage issues when they come to committee and city council. The heritage subcommittee will include councillors
Peter Clark (whose RideauRockcliffe Ward includes two heritage conservation districts), Katherine Hobbs, (a member of the planning committee and councillor for Kitchissippi Ward), Scott Moffatt (the rural representative, from Rideau-Goulbourn Ward) and planning committee vice chairwoman Jan Harder (Barrhaven) in addition to three members of the public. Many things have changed since the city amalgamated in 2001, when the advisory committees were established, a city report states. Access to technology and the availability of social media tools are changing how residents interact with the city and politicians, and other engagement strategies such as summits and departmental working groups have proven more successful, according to a report from the city clerk’s office. A broader report about citizen engagement is expected be discussed by city committees in December.

Knee Pain?: PatelloFemoral Joint Syndrome
NEW Application Deadline: November 1, 2012
By: Your Local Family Physiotherapy Centre Team
There are many possible contributing factors to PFJS. Sometimes there is a lack of local muscle strength to control the kneecap position, or excess tightness around the kneecap restricting normal movement. Often there is a lack of hip muscle control, which allows the leg to fall into a poor biomechanical position when moving around. Poor foot/ankle control or excessive “flat feet” can also contribute to PFJS. A physiotherapist or other
trained health practitioner can assess for what contributing factors are leading to your knee pain and provide treatment approaches to address your needs, whether it be exercises to work on your hip, knee or ankle control, releasing tight soft tissues in your leg, or suggest if orthotics might be of benefit.

Knee Pain?: Patello-Femoral Joint Syndrome
Online Applications available now. R0011624396-0920
A very common condition which typically develops in this way is patella-femoral joint syndrome (or PFJS for short). PFJS occurs when the kneecap, which needs to move up and down on the rest of the knee joint, doesn’t move along the pathway it’s meant to. This “maltracking” can lead to pain, clicking,
grinding and other abnormal sensations coming from under the kneecap. Overtime, this can lead to a wearing away of the kneecap cartilage.

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

Shenkman centre has your ticket for new season Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
EMC news - The Shenkman Arts Centre has released the lineup for the 2012-13 season of music of Ottawa Theatres Presents. Ottawa Theatres Presents is the city’s professional presenting program, and runs shows at both Shenkman and Centrepointe Theatre in Nepean. The series will have 15 shows at Shenkman, with a cost of $25 to $50 per ticket, and $10 to $12 for children’s shows. Pick Your Live Playlist encourages residents to find the music that suits their style and come out to see a live concert or musical. “A lot of people are staying in and listening to their music; they’re downloading their files,” said Shenkman Arts Centre communications staffer Karen Scott-Gagné. “But of course, the live experience is always so much richer.” There are special eyeGO to the Arts tickets available for secondary students for $5, the number of which is capped at 10 per cent of ticket sales. Scott-Gagné said that because community involvement and awareness has been growing the last several years at Shenkman, organizers have been able to book acts that they couldn’t previously. “This season at Shenkman is really showing the growth that the centre has gone through since it opened,” Scott-Gagné said. “As the community gets to know us, we’re able to bring in bigger names.”
One of the first headliners to come to Shenkman will be Ashley MacIsaac, with a show entitled An Evening of Traditional Cape Breton Music. The popular Canadian fiddler recently released a new album, his first in 10 years. Other top artists include Juno-nominated pianist Oliver Jones on Oct. 23 at 8 p.m., which includes a 6:30 p.m. preshow meet-and-greet and appetizers with an additional $10 ticket. Leonard Cohen’s son, Adam, will perform on Nov. 10. There are some shows especially for the kids, such as the musical Pinkalicious, about a girl who can’t stop eating pink cupcakes – and turns pink as a result, on Nov. 18 at 1:30
ca.
The live experience is always so much richer. Karen Scott-Gagné Shenkman Arts Centre
p.m. Pinkalicious will have a cupcake decorating workshop for $5 with Top of the Hill Bakery following the show. There will also be three “classic albums live” during the season. “Really it’s a musicians’ show as opposed to a cover band,” ScottGagné said. “These are studio musicians. They bring together those that are right for the album and they reproduce the album note for note, cut for cut.” The three classic album shows this season are AC/DC’s Back in Black on Nov. 15, Queen’s Night at the Opera on March 6 and Led Zeppelin I on April 27. Tickets went on sale on Sept. 14. The box office can be reached at 613580-2700 or at www.shenkmanarts.

One of the acts coming to the Shenkman Arts Centre this year will be Adam Cohen on Nov. 10. Cohen is a pop/folk performer, and Leonard Cohen’s son.

And I wondered back then if God got bored listening to the same prayers over and over again. When those prayers were finished, we then said special prayers for everything such as rain, good crops, a bountiful vegetable garden and a good day of selling door-to-door in Renfrew.

worse enemy at the Northcote School. Mother said, what we would do instead was pray silently to ourselves. I asked her how God would hear us if we didn’t say the prayers out loud. Mother assured me, He would be well aware of my silent prayers. And so began a lifetime of silent praying. Our Lutheran minister certainly didn’t believe in silent prayers, I thought back then. In fact his prayers were so loud, at the time I figured they could hear them in the United church a stone’s throw away. And I wondered if your prayers had an advantage if you took on the pained look that came across our minister’s face whenever he opened his mouth. I asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey if she thought he had sore feet, because not only did he have a pained look on his face, he had the habit of rocking from one foot to the other. To be honest, I was so intrigued with the minister when he was praying that I couldn’t

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

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

f youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever come across a recipe for Anadama bread, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably familiar with the story of how it got its name. One of the early pioneers in New England supposedly had a lazy wife named Anna. She never had supper ready for him, but every night she would serve him cornmeal mush or pudding. Finally getting tired of this, the fellow stirred some flour and molasses into the mush and put it on the fire to bake. All the time, he kept muttering, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anna, damn her!â&#x20AC;? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what his bread tasted like, but I can guarantee that once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tasted this bread machine version, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make it often. Made with cornmeal, molasses and flour, Anadama bread is very light in texture,

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Daisy is safe at home from a harrowing adventure after she was kidnapped from the Russell Fair last week. The 68-kilogram fibreglass cow is an expensive and integral part of an Osgoode dairy farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s travelling farm exhibit that makes the rounds to the Ottawa Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many fall fairs to teach kids about how food is made. But Daisy was stolen the evening of Thursday, Sept. 6, the first night of the Russell Fair, and owner Jeff Robinson thought the $7,500 bovine was gone forever. Still, he offered a $500 reward for her safe return, and in the early hours of Wednesday, Sept. 12 someone playing a GPS game spotted the metre-high cow outside Russell village. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was found just outside Russell on a main intersection clearly visible for all to see,â&#x20AC;? Robinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cow was well taken care of, as there seems to be no damage.â&#x20AC;? The rescuer would not take the $500 reward, so Robinson said the money will instead be donated to the annual Farm-

The cow, a miniature replica of a real cow standing slightly more than a metre tall, can be milked into a pail. Robinson bought the educational tool two years ago to add to his travelling farm exhibit, which he began about 10 years ago. While Robinson runs Tile Croft Farms, a dairy farm in Osgoode, his exhibit covers many types of farming. It serves to teach children where their food comes from, but sometimes the parents have questions, too, he said. A number of his farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sup-
pliers as well as farming organizations have contributed financially to his exhibit over the years and he said those stakeholders also indirectly own the cow. Daisy is scheduled to appear at the Richmond Fair this weekend, the Carp Fair from Sept. 20 to 23 and the Metcalfe Fair, taking place from Sept. 27 to 30. Robinson suspected Daisy was taken by teenagers or students looking for a laugh, and said he thinks local media coverage of the theft prompted them to return it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A happy ending to a sad story,â&#x20AC;? Robinson said.

I made it myself! Fall Classes for creative kids
Why men don’t breastfeed
From building blocks to sewing socks there is no shortage of fall classes available at City of Ottawa facilities for creative kids who like to work with their hands. A listing of classes for kids of all ages can be found at ottawa.ca/recreationguide. For generations, creative kids have been building with LEGO® blocks. Several classes allow kids to take their favourite pastime to a new level by building robots and machines that actually work using gears and motors. Learn basic programming to control the robot using Netbooks and laptops. Youth who are between 13 and 17 years old can build robots with plastic, wood, aluminum, motors and gears. Operate the robot using remote and computer control. No experience necessary. Patience and a willingness to learn are a must. For a purely scientific experience, there are Crazy Science classes available citywide where kids can conduct hands-on science experiments. Or open their minds with magic and science, solving magic mysteries and making cool science projects in a unique Science and Sorcery class.

My husband is on parental leave. With me working fulltime, an infant, and two boys to look after, he spends days making food, doing dishes and folding laundry. And when he’s not doing that, and even when he is, he can be found rocking the baby. He’s finding it a little frustrating, especially because he has a list of “pat leave reno projects” he’d like to be doing instead. “I cannot use power tools; I cannot use chemicals; I cannot lift heavy things,” he moaned to me the other day. I was on coffee break between conference calls and he had the baby in a front-carrier. “I’ve got some digging to do in the garden. How do you do that with a baby attached to you? I managed to do laundry and hang stuff on the clothesline, but other than that I’ve done nothing. I cannot go all day/all week like this. I’m not getting anything done and it’s already Wednesday. I keep getting interrupted.” It’s a lament familiar to many similarly industrious women. And it got me thinking about women, like me, who are finding mothering – particularly breastfeeding – isn’t conducive to my modern, fast-paced life as a career woman. I have many friends – also busy, industrious career women – who consider this folly. “Of course you can breastfeed and work hard at your
Av No ai w la bl e
Fitness and Wellness Classes
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse job,” they say, which only makes me feel inferior. If you’re a woman in a salaried job on maternity leave with a top-up and haven’t had any difficulties getting breastfeeding established into a routine, that may be true. I’m not saying you’re not working your butt off on the home front, but you’re also not putting on suits to attend meetings, doing conference calls, writing about things on very little sleep, managing outsourced work, marketing a business and trying to pump milk every three hours around the clock. People have built up this unrealistic notion that we should all be able to succeed as career women while at the same time returning to traditional mothering concepts. Somehow, people – with a straight face – tout this as a return to a golden age of mothering. But frankly, at no point in history have women done all of the above. For one thing, children in the past would be left to cry in their cribs, while mother attended to her duties. For anoth-
er, depending on her “class,” a woman would very likely have had at least one servant or a live-in female relative to assist her in the home. Some may have even had wet nurses, as was common – albeit dangerous – practice in France for many decades. And women certainly wouldn’t have done these things while holding down a job outside the home. My point is this. We’re trying to do it all. We’re trying to exist in a “man’s world” and at the same time do all the things that “traditional” mothers have mythically done. But frankly, this is bunk. If we’re privileged enough, we get to pick and choose what gets outsourced to make it all work. For a woman who works full-time – by choice or by necessity—an activity that takes eight hours a day, like nursing an infant, just may not fit into her busy schedule. Frankly, there’s a reason men don’t breastfeed. And it has nothing to do with lactation.

Christmas planning starts early for Canadian Forces Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
EMC news - There was some early Christmas preparation in Orléans this summer as a fundraiser contributed to the 1,600 packages that will be sent to deployed Canadian Forces troops for the holidays. Customers at the Sobey’s at Trim and Innes Road purchased Support Our Troops cards for $2 to contribute to the chain’s Operation Santa Claus project from Aug. 11 to 25. In total, the 29 participating stores in Ontario raised $16,000. They used the money and donated products from suppliers to make the care packages, which sat ready to go in a large truck in Orléans on Sept. 10. Packages have to be sent off early, because they take about three months to ship by sea, said Sobeys employee Mallory Tardo. Customers were also asked to sign a special banner that will be sent along with the care packages. It got a special signature on it, as the outgoing chief of defence staff, Gen. Walter Natynczyk, lined up with Beatrice Desloges Catholic secondary school students to sign the banner. The nearby school’s lunch break coincided with the free
barbecue held in the Sobeys parking lot. Natynczyk reflected on his Christmases spent overseas, where he’s watched soldiers open up Operation Santa Claus parcels on Christmas Eve. “We have great people who are the sons and daughters of Canada. They are the cousins, they are the best friends, they’re moms and dads,” Natynczyk said. “They go all around this world just to make sure that we can be safe here at home. So that kids from the nearby school can come over here and scarf down hot dogs till the cows come home.” He presented two Sobeys franchise owners, Allan Foget of the Orléans’ store and Pat Begbie of Brighton, Ont., with special coins as a thank you for their co-ordination of the donations. He was also joined by reservists from the nearby reserve barracks at Dow’s Lake for the presentation. Operation Santa Claus was started in Montreal in 1991 by the spouses of Forces members serving on peacekeeping duties. The program expanded to include donations from local businesses and grew into a Canada-wide program. Natynczyk thanked the community for the donations; enough for every deployed solider this Christmas. “No matter where you are, where you’re serving, you al-

EMC news - The OrlĂŠans Chamber of Commerce has revamped its annual awards and gala evening and made a switch, moving the annual event from November to January. Executive director Jamie Kwong McDonald made the announcement about the gala at the networking breakfast at the Quality Inn on Sept. 13. Formerly known as the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice Awards, this year the Celebrating Business Excellence and Achievement 2013 will be held at a bigger location at the Hampton Inn Conference Centre. The gala will be held on Jan. 17 and is being chaired by Cecilia Perdigao of La Pierre Law OfďŹ ces. Awards for Businessperson of the Year, Business of the Year (10 and under employees) and Business of the Year (11 and move employees) will be presented. Businesses donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be chamber members for those three awards, but award winners in the rest of the categories are required to be members. Tickets will go on sale Oct. 20 for the awards, with prizes available for early bird ticket purchasers. The chamber members heard from

Bruce Lazenby of Invest Ottawa addresses OrlĂŠans Chamber of Commerce members at a networking breakfast on Sept. 13. Invest Ottawa president and CEO Bruce Lazenby on Sept. 13.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some energy in OrlĂŠans,â&#x20AC;? Lazenby said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They raise the whole concept of entrepreneurship,â&#x20AC;? he told the group. One of his goals is working with businesses to ďŹ nd more jobs and spots for students, in roles that will be beneďŹ cial to the employer. He said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than making an investment by training a student who will soon leave. Development of projects, such as researching best practices, will help employers bring more college and university students into the workplace and retain talent in Ottawa. He said his mandate is to build business in the city, and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t focused on development of any speciďŹ c part. It can often be hard to sell one part of the city over another, because the tax options and incentives are the same throughout. But Invest Ottawa is working to establish an east-end presence by bringing some of their services to La CitĂŠ CollĂŠgiale. Invest Ottawa runs various seminars, mostly for free, and offers a business mentorship program.

EMC news - On the 10th anniversary of Friends for Peace Day, MP Olivia Chow will receive a posthumous Peace Award on behalf of her late husband Jack Layton. Peace awards are given annually to outstanding citizens. June Girvan and Koozma Tarasoff are also honoured in 2012. Orkidstra – the inner city orchestra – have commissioned composer James Wright to create a song from Jack Layton’s letter to the nation, which he penned shortly before his death in 2011. Orkidstra open the afternoon program at 2 p.m. and will sing this tribute to Jack. It is a day to celebrate the consciousness of peace, social justice and planetary care rather than bemoan their scarcity. There will be music, speeches, dancing, food and a chance to learn and connect. Friends for Peace Canada is a registered non-profit organization. Donations fund Peace Grants

Ottawa goalball team experiences Paralympic joy, then heartbreak Dan Plouffe
EMC news - The tension in the Copper Box gymnasium was only elevated by the fact their sport must be played in complete silence so the players with visual impairments can hear the small bell ring inside the ball when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rolled. Tied in the final moments, the Ottawa-based Canadian womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goalball team was involved in similar high-stakes matches on back-to-back days at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. But the emotions they felt when the deciding goals were scored were polar opposites. The first day, it was elation. Prior to the Tuesday, Sept. 4 contest, the Canadians had dropped their first game of the tournament 2-1 to Sweden, but rebounded to knock off Australia 3-1, and then Japan 2-1. A victory over the U.S. would give them first place in their pool â&#x20AC;&#x201C; otherwise it was likely theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d face powerhouse China in the playoff round. The game was scoreless the whole way through, but with under two seconds left, Nancy Morin fired a shot home down the sideline to give Canada the 1-0 victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Americans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we
always play a good game against them,â&#x20AC;? noted a beaming Amy Kneebone, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top scorer at the tournament with four goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was unbelievable. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m speechless from it. Scoring with two seconds left, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything else but smile.â&#x20AC;? The next day, it was crushing despair. Whitney Bogart scored midway through the second half to give Canada a 1-0 advantage in their quarter-final elimination match against Finland, but this time it was their opponents that scored a late marker. In â&#x20AC;&#x153;golden goalâ&#x20AC;? overtime Katja Heikkinen bounced a shot just above Kneebone, who got a piece of the ball but neither she or her teammates could get to the ball quickly enough. It was the abrupt end to the Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; podium dreams, after training together daily in Ottawa for the majority of 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really tough,â&#x20AC;? said coach Janice Dawson, adding that her girls played great throughout the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course I think we deserved a better fate. The girls trained so hard and they wanted it so badly, but the same can be said for any team thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
IAN EWING
Whitney Bogart, left, and Amy Kneebone canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite keep the ball from rolling past the goal line in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overtime defeat to Finland in the quarter-finals of the London 2012 Paralympic Games goalball competition. Nancy Morin (9) is also pictured. here.â&#x20AC;? Whether the squad will return to Ottawa as a group any time soon is unclear. The immediate plan was for everyone to go home after the Games,
nothing new for the team, which also included Morin of Longeuil, Que. and Ashlie Andrews of Penticton, B.C. Five of the six team members lived together in the same apartment building at Prince of Wales and Meadowlands, while Orgeles was less than two blocks away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We spent a lot of time to-
gether,â&#x20AC;? Bogart smiled, noting most of their downtime at the Paralympics was spent in their rooms, catching up on TV shows such as Big Brother and Hellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were watching funny movies to pass the time and stay relaxed.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;While weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focused on goalball,â&#x20AC;? Bogart highlighted.

Ottawa students win Duke of Edinburgh awards Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
EMC news - Youth from across Canada came to Ottawa for a Sept. 12 presentation from Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex. The Duke of Edinburgh Award for Young Canadians were presented to young people at the Ottawa Convention Centre. Several Ottawa students made the list of 130 who had completed the requirements for their gold level certificate. To receive the gold level Duke of Edinburgh Award, students must complete a minimum of 60 hours of community service over 12 months, a three-night camping trip, a skill development program and 50 hours of physical activity over 25 weeks. It was a chance for Prince Edward to return to Ottawa, the place the first Duke of Edinburgh Awards were given out in Canada 50 years ago. Peter Melanson, national president of the Duke of Edinburgh award, was alongside the prince. “Today is a day for a great many celebrations,” he said. “The Governor General, David Johnston, addressed the audience by pre-recorded video. “Today we share your pride and celebrate your success,” said Johnston. “I encourage

the number of you that do this independently,” he said to the audience. A large number of participants take part through their secondary schools or through Scouts Canada. “I’m also particularly pleased that many of you have experience
overseas.” From Ottawa centre, Erin Chapman, Kevin Ianson, Daniel Morrow, Jessica Silva received awards. Kanata’s Zahra Chamma received the award, as did Stittsville’s Alexandra Vin-
cent. Nepean had five recipients: Gage Emond, Emily Featherstone, Andrew Hickman, Megan Lunau and Rodney Newcombe. Silva spoke to the entire audience, representing all the award winners. “I cannot express how meaningful it is for me to be recognized by a member of the Royal Family,” said Silva, who was inspired to complete the gold level while living for two months in Zambia. Elmwood School graduates Alex Vincent, from Stittsville, Erin Chapman, from Rockcliffe Park and Nepean’s Emily Featherstone were all present at the ceremony.
Vincent is now studying mechanical engineering at Carleton University. She said she enjoyed the opportunity to take part in the awards process because she was able to help the younger students at Elmwood achieve their bronze and silver levels of the award. For Featherstone, it opened doors as she tried rowing. Now attending Queen’s University for biology, she made the junior varsity rowing team – something that wouldn’t have happened before the award program. “You at least will know how to seize these opportunities and overcome those challenges,” said Prince Edward.
Pet Adoptions PET OF THE WEEK BeeBee
OReO
ID#A143073 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.
ID#A142675 This unaltered female, black and white Syrian Hamster is about 10 months old. She was surrendered to the shelter by her owner on August 21. She is one of many hamsters and other small animals currently available for adoption. She would love a wheel in her cage for exercise, and an extra-special treat would be a hamster ball to explore your home outside the cage,under supervision,of course! For more information about these or other animals available for adoption, please call the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www. ottawahumane.ca.
Is your cat’s scratchIng habIt leavIng you scratchIng your head?
You can’t eliminate scratching behaviours: it’s a normal behaviour for your cat; it becomes a problem only when the object being scratched is an item of value to you. The goal is to redirect the scratching to an acceptable object, such as a scratching post. Provide objects for scratching that are appealing and convenient from your cat’s point of view. Observe the physical features of the objects your cat is scratching. Note their location, texture, shape and height. Substitute a similar object(s) for your cat to scratch (for example, rope-wrapped posts, corrugated cardboard, or even a log). Place an acceptable object (for example, scratching post) near
an inappropriate object (for example, upholstered chair). Make sure the objects are stable and won’t fall over when she uses them. You can make these objects more attractive to your cat by spraying them with catnip periodically and hanging a toy from the post. If you cat is refusing to use a scratching post and prefers your rug, try covering a piece of plywood with carpet and spraying it with some catnip. Cover the inappropriate object(s) with something your cat won’t like, such as double-sided sticky tape, aluminium foil, sheets of sandpaper, or a plastic carpet runner with the pointy side up. Only remove the “unappealing” coverings (for example, double-sided sticky tape, aluminium foil, sheets of sandpaper) from the inappropriate object(s) when your cat is consistently using the appropriate objects. This will entice your cat to investigate the more appealing scratching post. Don’t take your cat over to the scratching post and position her paws on the post to show her what she’s supposed to do. This will likely have the opposite effect and
make her less likely to use the post. Special products for training your cat are available at pet supply stores. If you are considering declawing your cat, consider this: declawing a cat doesn’t remove just the claws — it amputates the end digit from the paw, similar in scope to cutting off a person’s finger at the last joint. This procedure can cause substantial discomfort and complications after the operation. Declawed cats may become reclusive, irritable, aggressive and unpredictable, and may have a tendency to bite as they cannot scratch to give warning. While other, newer methods exist for declawing (for example, laser surgery), the end result is still undesirable for your cat as it prevents her from engaging in normal cat behaviour. The OHS does not support declawing. It should be considered as a final option after you have exhausted other alternatives to eliminate destructive behaviour. However, if you feel that you must either declaw your cat or give her up, the OHS would rather see your cat stay in her
Milo My favorite things to do are taking long walks in the grass, eat and than store some of my kibble in my cheeks (to eat later in bed!), chase anything that catches my attention, ah and sleeping under the covers!! And sshhhhh, don’t tell anyone, but I secretly LOVE when my parents dress me in clothes! My scarf completes me! I just love life and cannot get nearly enough cuddles. But I think I’m most happiest when I have my head hanging out the car window!! Do you think your pet is cute enough to be “THE PET OF THE WEEK”?

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

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.

TRIPS FOR 2 ALONG THE
PACIFIC COAST
It is sometimes difficult to navigate in medical terms referring to pain affecting the joints. The term “arthritis” is a general term that encompasses a hundred different diseases affecting the joints. The common denominator of these diseases is joint pain. Swelling, redness and loss of mobility can also be part of the picture. In common parlance, there are many who say “arthritis” to refer to osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis, the form of the most common arthritis is closely linked to aging and causes progressive joint deterioration. Rheumatoid arthritis is a condition resulting from a disorder of the immune system, leading to joint damage. If you suffer from pain related to osteoarthritis, here are some tips: • learn to recognize your limitations and rest. Certain activities aggravate the symptoms of osteoarthritis; • exercising the extent of your ability. The total inactivity empire sometimes the problem; • lose weight to avoid overloading your joints; • do not endure pain unnecessarily. OTC analgesics are available at the pharmacy, such as Tylenol ® against arthritis pain. Acetaminophen is generally recognized as a safe and effective treatment of pain related to osteoarthritis. Your pharmacist (do) can help you choose the analgesic that works best for you, depending on your medical history and the medications you take.
