EMC news - A small group of Lowertown residents were stunned at a public meeting on June 13 when they were informed the city plans to build a roundabout in their community for the benefit of STO buses, which will be routed through neighbourhood streets. Residents expected to hear about a plan to move two historic homes on Sussex Drive to accommodate a widening of the road, a project set to begin this summer. Instead, the meeting focused on a related plan to turn a four-way stop at Union Street and the northern leg of King Edward Avenue to accommodate a turnaround for STO buses waiting to start their routes through the ByWard Market in the afternoon. A roundabout wasn’t contemplated until it was determined that the removal of the Sussex bus lanes would be a problem for STO service, according to Ziad Ghadban, the city’s project manager for the road reconstruction.

Representing hope, equality and reconciliation, more than 50 students, teachers and mentors built the large, carved box over the course of this year. The Wabano Centre announced the box would become part of a permanent aboriginal art exhibit.

Overbrook, Sandy Hill crossing plans revealed Parking space loss, new pathway described to residents at open house Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Parking spots, connections, bike lanes and timelines were all hot topics at the city’s latest open house concerning a multi-use crossing between Overbrook and Sandy Hill. The Rideau River pathway open house at the Overbrook Community Centre was a busy place on June 10, when more than 35 people came

out in the first hour to speak with city staff about the project. The city identified the need for a multi-use pathway connection between Range Road in Sandy Hill and North River Road in Overbrook more than a year ago and an environmental study report looking at where along the river and what type of bridge should be built was completed in January 2012. The plans revealed at the

open house included designs for a new multi-use pathway crossing the river which will connect to the east and west pathways, the resurfacing of the parking lot at Strathcona Park and the reconstruction of Donald Street. Along with paving the parking lot at Strathcona, two new handicap spaces will be added. On the Donald side, however, it’s a bit of a different story. Parking will be re-

moved from the city-owned road to accommodate the widening of the pedestrian and cycling pathway and the reconstruction of the road. The pathway will connect directly where the Rideau Tennis Club is located in Overbrook. Currently, the club leases its land from the National Capital Commission. Parking made available at the club is split between club-owned spots and city-owned spots on the road. See DONALD, page 11 R0012161504

Rockin’ fundraiser hits Manor Park this summer Community rallies to help fellow neighbour Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news- Manor Park is going to rock this summer, thanks to a local musician and a good fundraising cause. Penny Palooza, which will take place at Anthony Vincent Park in Manor Park on Aug. 11, was created by Peter Steele who was looking for a way to raise money for the Ottawa Hospital Breast Health Centre, where his neighbour and long-time friend Penny Thompson has been receiving treatment since being diagnosed with breast cancer late last year. “Everyone is Manor Park is aware

of all the great things Penny (Thompson) has done in both as a leadership role for the community and as a neighbour and a friend,� Steele said. “We were all upset when we heard she was sick and thought we could help out.� As a musician, Steele said, it was easy to see how he could help: “I thought we have this great park, why not put on a concert?� Steele’s band, the Lockhart Station, will perform along with eight other acts, most of which are local, including a band featuring Thompson’s teenage son. “We live in a great neighbourhood, everyone pulls together and so many people are helping with the event,�

Steele said. He has partnered with fellow Penny supporter Marc Lafontaine, who launched a Pennies for Penny campaign in the winter. Steele said the two are working around the clock to get everything in place for the concert in August. The event is priced at $10 a ticket and children under 12 are free. There will be a magician, a barbecue and prizes throughout the day. All the proceeds will be donated and Trend Micro, an Internet security company, is sponsoring the event. Steele said he is covering any additional costs. “Everything we make goes back to the foundation,� he said. Steele is looking for volunteers to help out with everything from building the stage to taking tickets to cooking food. People interested in volunteering or looking for more information about the concert can contact Steele at petersteele@hotmail.com or by visiting the event’s website at pennypalooza. ca. Tickets are on sale now.

River path could turn Old Ottawa East into cycling link Combined with canal bridge, path would link LRT to Lansdowne: Chernushenko laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Building cycling links through Old Ottawa East will be an important way to capitalize on the city’s investment in a light-rail station at Lees, said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. The councillor pondered the neighbourhood’s potential as an active transportation area during an open house on the preliminary design for a multi-use pathway along the Rideau River. When looked at in a wider context, providing cycling links through the “island� neighbourhood that’s wedged between the Rideau Canal and Rideau River could become a vital cycling link to get people from the future light rail station at Lees to Lansdowne Park. As the crow flies, the distance from Lees Station to Lansdowne is about 1.5 kilometres. People bemoan Lansdowne’s distance from a rapid transit line, but building the proposed Rideau Canal Crossing footbridge at Fifth Avenue and Clegg Street and connecting it to a new river pathway would create that access to rapid transit. “Here’s an out for you if you don’t want to drive,� he said. “You’ve created whole new ways where people can move around.� The path is proposed to stretch from Belmont Street in the south end of the neighbourhood along the Rideau River to the University of Ottawa’s campus at 200 Lees Ave. It’s a project the community has been asking for for several years. In fact, it’s already a well-used route in some parts, where bicycles and feet have worn a dirt pathway along the river in some points. “The community has a big investment in this project getting done,� said Old Ottawa East Community Association president John Dance. Part of the trail through Spring-

hust Park was already built as part of a recent sewer project. That section was constructed with stone dust – a fine, gravel-like surface that some residents say they would like to see used for the entire length of the pathway. “It’s more natural, it’s cooler and less intrusive on nature,� said Carol Alette, a resident who attended a June 12 open house at the Old Ottawa East Community Centre. The city is planning to pave the entire path, which is the standard for multi-use paths in the urban area of the city, said transportation planner Robin Bennett, who is leading the project. “That’s what we’re aiming at,� Bennett said. Stone dust could be considered, but Bennett didn’t think it would be the treatment chosen in

the end. The most complicated – and likely the most expensive portion – will be adding a ramp under the Transitway bridge at the Lees campus. “We may have to cut into the shoreline for the ramp,� Bennett said, due to the narrowness of the strip of land and Redesigning that section will also be important to ensure there is a safe, direct link for cyclists to get across Lees Avenue to the Transitway station, Bennett said. The Rideau River pathway isn’t the only cycling infrastructure proposed to come to Old Ottawa East. Earlier this week, the community got a glimpse of plans to rebuild it’s main artery, Main Street, as a “complete street� with cycling lanes. The city is spending $120,000 on the first design study for the pathway. Council would have to approve more money in the next budget for the project to proceed into detailed design.

Old Ottawa South residents hesitant to change: survey Association looking to craft plan for neighbouhood’s evolution Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Results of a recent neighbourhood survey in Old Ottawa South indicates that a not-in-my-backyard mentality is one of the leading barriers keeping the community from change. Five per cent of Old Ottawa South households responded to the survey, which was released in February by the Ottawa South Community Association, asking residents a number of different questions, including what is great about Old Ottawa South, what type of trends people think will be a leading factor for change in the area and what could help make the community better. President Linda Hancock said the results of the survey are the first stepping stones toward crafting the associa-

tion’s priorities and when it comes to development, the community has pointed out there needs to be a balance when it comes to infill in the neighbourhood. “It’s about what can we live with and what can we not live with,” Hancock said. The survey results indicated the biggest factors holding the community back from enacting significant change are: NIMBYism, fear of change, lack of community engagement, attitudes towards developers and a negative view of the city, province and National Capital Commission. Hancock said 13 per cent of the people who answered the survey were between the ages of 65 - 74 and that those individuals who wish to downsize do not have many options for staying in the neighbourhood. “There are aging baby

mentioned. The association is currently celebrating its 35th anniversary this year and with that, this survey aims to help shape the strategic direction and future of the community for the next 20 years. Hancock said residents agreed in force that the future for better development and amenities relies with development on Bank Street. “We need to find more ways to support the businesses,” Hancock said. “People want those businesses to survive and want more development, something that needs to be addressed.” The survey wasn’t all about developments and intensification. It also focused on what residents enjoy and would like to see from its community programming. Walkability, a sense of community and amenities were named as what members of the community felt were great about the neighbourhood. Many listed the fitness classes, the camp programs and children’s programs as great current programming and called for the Old Ottawa South community centre to add more programming for teens, adults and seniors. “There isn’t a lot for the older population to do, with programming and activities,” Hancock said. “It’s one gap we can fill.” The association’s next

boomers, who are talking about moving – we don’t have options to downsize and stay in our community,” she said. “I think that needs to be balanced so people can make that choice.” When it comes to how the community can approach this and other positive development issues, the president said she believes it is a matter of holding more consultations to discuss what residents want and what people can live with. “We need to keep the lines of communication open,” she said. This was the first time the community association has sent out a community-wide survey and the results indicated that traffic and parking, infill development and transportation were all top priorities. Housing prices and environment issues were also

In drafting this strategic framework, the association will look at its current programming, organizational structure and committees to see if there are any gaps the group may have missed, or

ByWard Market study leads to yet more study Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The city will spend an additional $80,000 on more in-depth study of ideas to improve the ByWard Market recommended in a recent study. The city’s planning committee OKed spending $50,000 on more study to the policy and funding needed to create new governance model for the market, which some argue is ailing due to vacant stalls and storefronts. “I feel the market has been looking tired,â€? said Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs, who sits on the planning committee. “I am not so proud to take people there anymore, but that’s where they want to go.â€? The city will spend another $30,000 on a plan to improve the streetscape. Any construction costs would be above and beyond that amount. Those funds are needed to implement the suggestions in a report called Strengthening the Future of the ByWard Market, was prepared by New York-based Project for Public Spaces. It recommends things like creating a non-proďŹ t group to manage the market vendors, providing incentives for food retailers, improving safety and creating more vibrant public spaces. While these aren’t brand-new concepts, said Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, those ideas are reinforced in the report. However, the debate at planning

committee centered on an age-old problem in the market: balancing the needs and desires of its residents with the interests of tourists, many of whom might arrive to the ByWard Market by automobile. Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess pointed out the disconnect between the “two views of vehicles:� providing more cheap parking to encourage people to come to the market by car, or restrict access and parking for cars in order to create a pleasant environment for shoppers. David O’Neill, one of the Project for Public Spaces consultants, said parking fees have to be low enough to not discourage people from going there, but the city must provide other opportunities for people to get there by foot or bike. City planning manager Lee Ann Snedden said that while the market is the city’s “top� tourism destination, it is also a dense residential area. Although it is a tourism driver, the city is “trying to promote local fresh foods in this area as well,� Snedden said. Suburban councillors also expressed concern that the ByWard Market would try to appeal to residents across the city and would therefore contradict efforts to encourage people to shop at local neighbourhood markets. “We are not trying to compete with the Saturday morning markets,� said Fleury, noting that the ByWard Market runs seven days a week. “We’re different.�

The city’s planning committee will spend another $50,000 on a study to look at the policy and funding needs to create a new governance model for the ByWard Market and $30,000 more on a plan to improve the streetscape. The governance report being prepared for 2013 will look at the impact on other markets. A Lowertown resident who spoke at the meeting was less concerned about parking issues and access to fresh foods than the proliferation of bars and restaurants. Sylvie Grenier of the Lowertown Community Association said while the group is generally in support of the report, the association is requesting that the city study mechanisms it could use to regulate or limit new bars or restaurants from popping up.

Planning committee chairman Coun. Peter Hume sparred with Grenier over that request, saying that the city would land itself in court if it tried to restrict property owners from exercising a right to put that type of business on their property that has existed for 100 years. “I don’t know that there is, or has been, or that this report provides the justiďŹ cation to take away that right,â€? Hume said. O’Neil of the Project for Public Spaces also warned against a moratorium on certain types of businesses.

There was some interest in reducing or changing the fees for vendors in the market. Fleury said he’d like to look at a sliding scale that would offer space for cheaper during slow hours. Adel Ayad, a ByWard Market property owner, said slashing the fees in half or more and easing the complicated process to set up as a vendor in the market would help ďŹ ll the vacant booths that are becoming more numerous. Patricia Kilmartin, who represents the stall vendors in the market, also asked for an immediate 20 per cent decrease in the rental cost.

EMC news - To celebrate the 40th birthday of the The Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group, the organization is asking everyone in the community to join in the party. The celebration will take place at the Glebe Community Centre on June 21, from 7 to 11 p.m. The event is for people of all ages. Mary TsaiDavie, executive director of the Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group, said the group’s start had modest roots, loosely forming in 1972 under a different name, the community centre committee, then a subcommittee of the Glebe Community Association, to help find a community centre site

for the neighbourhood. In 1973, the city purchased St. James United Church for $300,000 with plans to turn the former church into a community centre. It was at that time that the former community centre committee became the Glebe Community Centre Council, which began to formulate what type of renovations and programming was needed at the new centre. In 1974, the group officially became the Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group and it partnered with the city’s parks and recreation department and immediately began launching programming ranging from a daycare centre, sports groups and art classes. “We want to celebrate our anniversary,” Tsai-Davies

EMC news - Six bicycles are available to take for a spin after a local bike sharing program set up shop in the Glebe. The Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group has partnered with Westboro’s Right Bike to offer six rental bicycles for use in the neighbourhood. “The Glebe will now become a new bike hub for Right Bike,” said Mary Tsai-Davies, executive director of the group. The program got started on June 15 and bicycle day passes can be purchased for $5 a day or $20 for a three-day pass. RightBike is a communityowned and operated bike sharing service that got started in Westboro, Hintonburgh and

Wellington West Village. It offers residents who live along the Wellington/Richmond Road corridor between Hintonburg and Westboro the opportunity to borrow a bike. The organization has a total of 65 bicycles available, available at six different locations. Residents can subscribe to either a monthly membership for $10 or a season pass for $40. A deposit of $60 is required. Tsai-Davies said the goal is to take the successful Westboro model and bring it to the Glebe. The group is hoping the program will become popular so they can expand the number of bikes available. Right Bike is a part of the Causeway Social Enterprise, a

The event will be a throwback to the early days of the group, with music from then and now, lots of food- including birthday desserts and a cash bar. “Everybody is invited,” Tsai-Davies said. “There is going to be great music and we welcome all to attend and to celebrate.” Video Dance, First Quality Sound and Barry and the Blasters, Rhythm and Blues Band will all be performing. Tickets are $6 for adults, while young people are free. Tickets are on sale at Compact Music, the Glebe Community Centre and the Ottawa Folklore Centre as well as at the door.

A rose by any other name

L

ike many fans, we’re a little disappointed after the city’s new Canadian Football League franchise announced its name as the Ottawa RedBlacks. The naming has certainly put Ottawa on the map, but not in a good way. The moment it was announced, the Internet lit up like a Christmas tree with people criticizing the choice on sports fan websites and Twitter accounts. To make matters worse, the franchise sent out a request to the media to spell out the name using all caps. One pundit on the Internet quipped, “The Ottawa REDBLACKS are apparently that one guy in high school who wants to give himself his own nickname that everyone calls him.” OK, the name Rough Riders was unavailable, as the rights are still controlled by the team’s former owner, Horn Chen. Jeff Hunt, president of Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, the organization responsible for bringing CFL football back to the National Capital Region, said red and black are the colours of Ottawa sport, with teams ranging from the original Rough Riders of the 1890s to the past and modern day Senators. The name is “unique, maybe even a little edgy,” said Hunt, adding it’s a brand that will stand the test of time and that fans will eventually get used to it.

But that begs the question, why introduce a name that fans must “get used to”, instead of coming up with something creative, that captures the imagination of a city, and makes fans eager to get behind the team? If the franchise wanted to attract a whole new generation of fans, why pick a name that harkens back to the 20th century? Also, RedBlacks doesn’t exactly smack of creativity -- we can only imagine the process for coming up with that logo: something along the lines of “Hey, the uniforms are red and black...why not call them RedBlacks!” The name RedBlacks will probably stick, but following the example of sports cities throughout the ages, fans will inevitably invent a more palatable nickname. Something that rolls of the tongue when people cheer at Lansdowne Park -- the same way fans in other cities came up with the Habs for the Montreal Canadiens. Blue Shirts for the New York Rangers, or the Boatmen for the Toronto Argonauts. Ottawa’s fans have plenty to celebrate with the return of CFL football to Lansdowne Park starting in 2014, bringing with it all the fabulous traditions of the fall, such as tailgate parties and a touch of frostbite. Eventually we’ll learn to live with the club’s official name. As William Shakespeare once said, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

Neighbourhood summer events prove it’s always nicer outside

T

hings that start small and comfy can get big and out of hand, particularly if they are successful. Eventually, people begin to lament the absent smallness and comfiness. You see that happening in today’s discussions about the ByWard Market. If this has happened to Westfest, a neighbourhood festival that started 10 years ago, it isn’t obvious from the little window of it I took in. Certainly it has grown considerably, attracting more visitors and presenting bigger entertainment names. But the neighbourhood feeling still survives. I walked down there on a Saturday thinking it would be a nice to grab some street lunch. Walking was my first good decision. Success breeds cars and cars breed congestion and congestion breeds ill temper. Walking avoided all that, and produced an appetite. Where there are crowds you will find people with different attitudes towards being in them. For example, some people are attracted to long line-ups, figuring that they must indicate that the food is good. Other people, instinctively go where the lineup is shortest. That would be me, finding a very nice Polish sausage from a wagon at a traditional spot

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town beside Mountain Equipment Co-op. There then followed a period of trying to remember how to walk and eat at the same time, followed by a period of trying to remember how to get mustard off a shirt. At this time of the day, a kind of happy amateurism prevailed. The big names would come later, after dark, but for now there was a feeling that it was people you knew playing the guitars and violins. Many street musicians and entertainers were highly experienced, you could tell, but there were also high school kids happily pounding out their rock chords, perhaps newly emerged from the garage. There was an enjoyable middle school stage band playing Route 66 for an appreciative crowd. One puzzling thing: of the 21 musicians in the band, only three were boys, by my count. Why is that? Don’t the guys Published weekly by:

know how much fun it is to pick up a horn and be in the band? Just down the street is a jazz band of middle-aged men and women. You can tell they’re having fun. The spirit of amateurism is also evident in the booths, where small items are being sold, worthy causes are being promoted and demonstrations of this and that are taking place. Few of the people staffing the booths do this for a living. That means there is no such thing as a hard sell, which is refreshing. It also means that the customers are more patient than they might be in store. At a neighbourhood thing like this, you bump into people know you and stop to chat. When you think back upon those chats, you realize they have one thing in common: Nobody is complaining. How rare is that? Two people in Ottawa meet and converse and nobody complains? It must be the sausages and the proximity of ice cream. Or it may be that there are no cars around. We own the street on this day and it feels good. (Although the sensation can be a bit disorienting at intersections where cars reappear and the pedestrians and drivers have temporarily forgotten to watch out for each other.)

about hockey. This is Canada and the finals are about to begin and nobody talks about hockey. Sure, the Senators are out of the playoffs, but it feels like a cultural shift that the acquaintances you meet are talking about everything but hockey. Maybe it’s just a peculiar bunch of acquaintances. Everywhere there is food – healthy food, of course, but also an infinite variety of cookies and muffins and ice cream and honey and pickles and more exotic fare, sold by people who seem to be pleased to be out of doors. People are always nicer outside, haven’t you noticed?

Can you handle being Facebook friends?

F

acebook’s tagline goes something like this: “Facebook helps you connect and share with people in your

life.” It sounds so rosy, doesn’t it? But the majority of us don’t know how to use Facebook with etiquette. We’re sharing opinions and criticisms that nobody wants to hear. We’re posting edgy videos that get our mom’s friend’s sister, Alma’s knickers in a twist – even though we never intended them for her eyes at all. We receive political propaganda, emotional appeals, updates from the neighbour’s teenager’s dating scene, and all the while, our role is to choose how to react or not. Most of us, frankly, aren’t discerning enough to figure out the way to go. Call it the limitations of human relationships, but if I don’t have a clue who’s reading my messages or how it’s being received, chances are that somebody, somewhere has the opportunity to feel offended by something I post. And as a May 2012 Huffington Post blog pointed out, perhaps the biggest problem is that there isn’t actually a rulebook or manual for Facebook usage.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse Every single one of us approaches the medium with a different expectation of how it’s meant to be used. I, for one, think Facebook is the worst medium for having any kind of authentic, emotional conversation. Others don’t share this opinion. Case in point: I received a nasty Facebook message from an older relative last week. I hadn’t received a message from this person since 2007. When I opened the messages on mobile, the feed came through in a single blob. Something along the lines of, “How are your babies (plural, which confused me because it was actually a six-year-old message), followed by a cryptic note saying, in a nutshell, “Don’t send anyone in my family messages because we don’t need information from you.” When I received this message, I was confused. I had come to the message in a very positive mood.

I also hadn’t messaged anyone on Facebook for nearly a week, so I wasn’t sure to what “family messages” the relative referred. As one does in these situations, I sent back a question mark symbol, the lazy, social media way of asking for more information. I’ve been burned by Facebook messaging before. Particularly when there’s a generational divide or some sort of emotional content, I’ve learned these things are best dealt with person-to-person. I asked the relative to call me so we could sort out the misunderstanding. She didn’t call. The result? It ate away at me – for days! Until finally, she sent me another nasty note on Facebook. And that was the end of the line. Evidently, this individual and I could not – and were not Facebook friends. We couldn’t handle it. She wasn’t using Facebook properly, according to my own standard. I wasn’t using Facebook properly, according to her standards. The honeymoon phase of Facebook is over. While many of us came at the social medium with gusto, friending every high school ex, work acquaintance and relative,

it’s time to start weeding out the contact list. When deciding who to keep, ask yourself this, “can you handle being Facebook friends?” Look into your crystal ball. What are the possibilities of offending or alienating each person, and more importantly, what are the consequences if it all blows up? Facebook is not about truth. It’s about the public representation of oneself. If you like to use Facebook to complain about work or clients, it’s probably best to get your boss and colleagues (and clients) off your friends list. If your family members get annoyed every time you post something, it’s time to hit the unfriend button. There are many other, better ways of communicating with family and

close friends. If you’re not ready to start eliminating people from your list, try to be a little more discerning – both in how you send and receive messages and in who you allow to be part of your public platform. Communications 101 tells us that there is frequently a divide between what you intend to communicate in a message and how it’s received. If you’re not checking back with people frequently to make sure they’ve received your message as intended, you could be setting yourself up for a storm. Most of all – and take it from me, I’ve learned the hard way – be polite. It will get you much farther and, ultimately, allow you to keep more friends.

Way-finding project set to get started Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - People in Vanier will soon be pointed in a number of different directions as the community association introduces new way-ďŹ nding signs to the neighbourhood. The signs are meant to direct individuals to points of interest, whether it’s the sugar bush, the Lourdes Grotto or Gammon House, the signs will soon be popping up everywhere as residents are being encouraged to grab a sign and post it where they want. The ďŹ rst round of signs became available at the Vanier Community Association’s annual general meeting on June 17. The signs are temporary and will help build local interest and serve to ďŹ nd out just exactly where the permanent signs should go. “People can take and put in places where they think they should be helpful,â€? said Mike Bulthuis, president of the association, The signs will stay up for a few months so the association can receive feedback about the placement and potential wording before the permanent signs are made. The idea has been almost a year in the making, when Ron Stone ďŹ rst suggested it at the association’s meeting in September. “The beneďŹ ts of this program for Vanier are manifold,â€? Stone said. “They will encourage foot trafďŹ c, help

Stone added that the information generated by the signs will support discussion over the coming year pertaining to the revision of the city’s OfďŹ cial Plan, with the particular focus on Vanier’s site speciďŹ c policy. Since then, the group has been working at putting the initial stage of the plan together. It wasn’t until the asso-

ciation was honoured through the Better Neighbourhoods Program it was possible to make the idea a reality. The signs will have a QR code on them that will link back to the association’s website for more information, facts and points of interest. The goal is to encourage locals to begin walking more in their own neighbourhood, as well as to encourage visitors to explore Vanier. Residents interested in putting up a sign can download a template vanier-association. com. The temporary signs must be removed by July 7.

Manor Park accepting behaviour wins big and included; to set high expectations for behaviour and learning; to demonstrate concern for others by responding to issues of social justice and to seek opportunities to for meaningful local involvement. The Mental Health Matters! project provided students at the school with a mental health resource room, known as the “Friends Zone.” The room gave students accessibility to the breakfast club program, adult aids, a weekly support group that is facilitated by trained professionals and access to library material on mental health issues. Ottawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur attended the award presentation and said she felt fortunate to be a part of such a dedicated community. “Congratulations to Manor Park Public School and its Safe and Accepting Schools Team for their accomplishments and hard work,” Meilleur said. The mental health project is but one of the many projects the school has come together to support its students, families and community. In the winter, the school held a fundraising initiative to help raise money to support one student’s sick sister and struggling family.

EMC news - Students and staff at Manor Park Public School were recently honoured for their commitment to addressing mental health issues. The school started a mental health program to help students access a number of different services in order to keep them feeling safe, loved and important. It is because of this successful project that the school was presented with the Premier’s Award for Accepting Schools on June 7. The award recognizes schools that are leaders in promoting and creating safe and accepting school environments. According to Principal Shari Brodie, the school has been working towards a safe, caring, respectful and accepting school over the past twoand-a-half years. “The goals for Manor Park’s character development and social responsibilities initiatives are to embed universal character attributes in the curriculum and school-wide programs,” Brodie said. The programs include ensuring all students feel welcomed, respected

A preliminary design of a pedestrian bridge across the Rideau River will connect the two communities, as well as create a bike pathway from Strathcona Park to Donald Street.

Donald parking reduced to accommodate pathway Continued from page 1

To expand the pathway along Donald, the city will be taking back some of its land, paving and curbing the current dirt road and reducing the number of parking spots from 54 to 42. City project engineer Jeffery Waara said that the city conducted a parking count over the summer period of 2010, which concluded that on average over the 10 days the study was done, 38 vehicles were parked. The maximum number of vehicles parked during the 10 days was 61. The variance in the numbers is based on usage

and the tightness that vehicles parked along the unfinished road. “Based on average number of cars, the 42 spots provided would be sufficient,” he said. “This reduction in onstreet parking is necessary to accommodate pedestrians and cyclist on the proposed multi-use pathway.” Rick Baker, manager of the tennis club, said the loss of parking is of concern, but he understands the city’s need to curb, pave and widen the pathway. He added that the club sees more 300 people a day, and the club’s main concern is making sure members are not affected with the fi-

nal plans or during construction of the bridge and pathway. The crossing will be four metres wide and the pathway will be three metres wide. For Overbrook resident Louise Renauld, she feels it’s important for the crossing to have some type of segregated bicycle path. “It would just make me, and some other older individuals maybe, feel more comfortable crossing,” she said. Steve Zabarylo said there are a number of positives that come along with project, including connecting the two communities. Historically, a seasonal summer wooden footbridge located between the west river bank in Strathcona Park and the east river bank near the club on Donald was used to connect Vanier and Overbrook to Sandy Hill. When that practice was discontinued many people continue to cross the river barefoot when the water is low in the summer. “It will give us access to downtown, could bring in more business to Overbrook, and connect students to the community,” Zabarylo said. Both ward councillors for Sandy Hill and Overbrook, Mathieu Fleury and Peter Clark, have identified this project as a top priority for their office and have said on separate occasions their goal is to get the project added to the 2014 budget. If funding is allocated in the upcoming budget, construction is anticipated to begin in the spring of 2014.

Fundraising needed to get instruments to Africa Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Well the clarinets have been collected, the guitars have been tuned and now its time to ship more than 200 instruments to Africa this summer. Since February, Instruments for Africa has been collecting used and new instruments to donate to schools in Africa. The journey to collect enough instruments to outďŹ t an orchestra or two in schools in Africa began with Old Ottawa South music teacher Todd Snelgrove. The idea springs from just one guitar. When on a trip to Africa last May, Snelgrove had brought along a guitar with the intention of giving it away. While searching for the ideal recipient for the instrument, he came across the Linda School in Livingstone, Zambia. A public high school with an enrollment of 1,200 students from grades 10 to 12, its music program was operating without a single working instrument. Teachers at the school teach music theory and singing to about 300 students. Snelgrove donated a guitar to the school and since that moment, he became determined to gather more instruments for the cause. When he returned to Ottawa, Snelgrove began a larger mission to equip as many students as he could with instruments and soon instruments started coming out of the attic, basements and out from under beds, dusted off and donated to Snelgrove for the cause.

Ottawa Valley Tours

With a little over 200 instruments, now the countdown is on to make sure more than 200 musical instruments get shipped to Africa this July. The shipping is aimed to take place on July 8 and is scheduled to arrive in Africa in early September where Snelgrove, his ďŹ ancĂŠ and music educator Susan Carlton will meet the instruments there. After hearing about the organization, Carlton contacted Snelgrove to offer her help in developing a music curriculum for the teachers to teach. The cost of shipping and transportation to the small villages and towns is close to $6,500 - a sum of money that still needs to be fundraised. Snelgrove, Fiance and Carlton are covering their own ticket costs and thanks to the help of the Ambassador to Zambia, Bobby Mbunji Samakai and his staff, connections were made with the Zambia government’s Minister of Education who agreed to waive the taxes upon arrival -- something Snelgrove said gave him a huge sigh of relief. “The costs would have been doubled if not for that,â€? he said. But the shipping costs are still needed and Snelgrove said anyone who is willing to help by donating much needed funds would become a huge help. The music teacher said he doesn’t care what people do to help, and in facts encourages people to be creative. Funds have already been coming in from a many different sources, including the Music Students Coun-

cil of LongďŹ elds-Davidson Heights Secondary School who raised $135 through a music-day bake sale. Local music-mom Shauna Guilford collected $150 towards strings purchases, Snelgrove said many more people have made individual donations through the organization’s website. There has even been a generous donation of a violin at the Ottawa Folklore Centre, stipulating that any proceeds from it’s sale go to Instruments for Africa. That generated $200 for the cause. “The amount of instruments coming in is amazing,â€? Snelgrove said. “They are coming in every day. I get emails every day about this cause. It’s really incredible. I never dreamed the project would be so successful. And the success of the project is what is making me worry the most, if I only had ďŹ ve instruments to send, it would be easy to ship them off, but with 200 it’s a little more difďŹ cult.â€? Regardless of raising the money or not, Snelgrove said he will be shipping these instruments over, but it will be coming out of his pocket. Its something he wishes he could avoid, he admits, but would not let the fact the group hasn’t raised enough money stop the children from getting the much deserved instruments. Once in Zambia, Snelgrove said they will begin their trip to the schools and handing out the musical instruments.

COUNCILLOR’S CORNER It has been a busy few months with meetings and activities at City Hall. Road construction, Light Rail, Lansdowne Park and Richcraft Sensplex top the list. My team will be out on the streets again, going door to door to listen to your community concerns. We have also put together a survey, which can be found on my website, to gather your feedback. I appreciate your feedback. New business alert! Looking for a hair trim or a perm and live in the Beacon Hill area? Look no further than Eddie's second barber shop in Beacon Hill-Cyrville (his first location at Shoppers City East). Located at the top of Shefford Rd and Montreal Roads,“Unique salon and barber shop” boasts $13 haircuts and friendly company. Welcome to the neighbourhood Eddie!

“It was developed in the late stages because we had a lot of work to do with the STO,” said Ghadban. “It was just, how do we get them to that time point in the most efficient manner if we take away that lane they had access to,” he said. The roundabout was designed in the late fall or early winter of 2012, Ghadban said. Residents didn’t find out about it until the June 13 meeting and chastised Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury for keeping them in the dark for so long. “We did get some comments tonight that we do need to follow up on,” Fleury said, adding that some of the proposals for dealing with the STO bus issue were presented in preliminary public meetings on the road project “Bottom line to is: it highlights once again that we need a solution for interprovincial transit to get buses at Bayview and and LeBreton (Transitway stations),” Fleury said. “Because every time we make streets that make sense … we’re going to live these impacts.” The new facility is needed because the Sussex reconstruction will remove a dedicated bus lane and reduce that road to one lane in each direction the section north of Boteler Street. As a result, STO buses that use that route to get to their layup point on the northern section of King Edward would be stuck in traffic for longer, driving up operating costs for the STO. After looking at a number of options, the city determined

that routing STO buses through Lowertown via Boteler Street was the most efficient option. City staff could not immediately provide the cost to the city to build the roundabout for STO. That incensed Donna Kearns, who lives on that street. “I’m absolutely stunned,” she said at June 13 meeting. “If you do this to our street, you’re going to destroy our street.” Kearns was worried about the noise and air quality issues of having 20 buses rumble down her now-quiet street in the peak afternoon hour. A total of 124 STO buses come over from Quebec to run routes through Ottawa before heading back to Gatineau each afternoon, said Pat Scrimgeour, transit planning manager for OC Transpo. Those buses take different routes and wait at different points, so only about 20 of them would need to use the King Edward layup at any given time in the afternoon, he said. That number will go down after the Rapibus system is in place this fall. He said the STO expects a 15 to 30 per cent reduction in the number of buses are certain points of the day. Nathan Davis, co-chairman of the King Edward Avenue Task Force, said the roundabout is another example of the city and National Capital Commission prioritizing their plan for a grand boulevard at the expense of Lowertown residents. The proposal would also include allowing only STO buses to turn left from Sussex onto Boteler, which is not permitted for other vehicles. There are preliminary plans to build a basketball court be-

Lowertown residents recently found out STO buses will be driving down Boteler Street and a new roundabout on Union Street will be constructed to accommodate transit because of the reconstruction of Sussex Drive. tween the Rideau River and the northern section of King Edward, just south of Union Street. That area, which is on a hill, would be used for construction staging for the roundabout, which creates an opportunity to build a court there after the construction mess is cleaned up. The plan would also involve putting approximately five parking spaces in a small lot off Union Street. Fleury said members of the

Lowertown Community Association have been lobbying to get a basketball court in their community, and the riverside location is a good one because it isn’t near homes where residents could be disturbed by the noise of people playing basketball. The court plan is very preliminary and residents will be consulted to see if that’s the best use of the space, Fleury said.

Habitat for Humanity marks 20 years in capital region Steph Willems Steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - They started out small, but in the past two decades Habitat for Humanity-National Capital Region has steadily grown its presence and its impact on lowincome families in Ottawa. The organization celebrated 20 years of challenges and successes during its annual general meeting and volunteer appreciation event, held on June 10. Formed 1993, the Ottawa-area chapter of the organization (which started in Georgia in 1976) built their ďŹ rst Habitat home on Roman Avenue in 1994, with two others on Monique Street shortly thereafter. To date, Habitat for Humanity-NCR has constructed 40 homes and renovated eight others with the help of volunteers and donated funds and materials. Two ReStore locations have also opened (1997 and 2007) in order to collect and distribute those materials. Habitat NCR is currently getting started on three new homes in Orleans. “The organization has continued to grow,â€? said Habitat NCR CEO Donna Hicks. “That speaks volumes to the kind of leadership from our board of directors and the hard work from our staff and volunteers.â€?

Habitat NCR is run by a 15-member volunteer board of directors, and relies on the help of up to 3,000 volunteers of all capacities over the course of a year, said Hicks. Each home build, she added, requires 380 volunteer slots to accomplish. At eight years of service, Hicks is the longest-serving CEO in the Habitat system, which is composed of 67 afďŹ liates in Canada and has a presence in 100 countries worldwide. Because it has to collect, handle and distribute funds, ďŹ nd land, collect materials as well as manage the no-interest mortgages issued to families buying Habitat homes, the organization has to function as a bank, mortgage-lender, and builder. While that responsibility results in a huge workload, the satisfaction of seeing families in need move into their own home makes up for it. “We like what we do,â€? said Hicks, who normally works14-hour days. With much talk surrounding the growing need for affordable housing in recent years, Habitat NCR stands alone as a housing provider in allowing families to own their own home while retaining the equity after payout – something that can greatly beneďŹ t adults and seniors. “Many of our families have lowpaying jobs with no pension plan,â€? said Hicks. “This house can become

The need for affordable housing isn’t relegated to urban areas. Habitat NCR has seen increasing demand from communities outside the city, recently building three new homes in Carleton Place and renovating another in Kemptville.

“When we started looking at some of these outlying communities, we didn’t know how bad the need was for affordable housing,� said Hicks. “We’re seeing more and more requests from outlying communities.� Hicks said she is working on a gift of land in Arnprior, a possible gift in Richmond, and is looking forward to

a planned project in Perth. While Habitat NCR is growing and looking to the future, Hicks said much more work is needed to serve the community’s needs. “It’s not enough,� said Hicks. “We need to acquire more land, raise more money, and look at all the different ways there are to house people.�

Noah Spitzer’s My Second Smile will be at the Ottawa Fringe Festival at the Arts Court Theatre from June 21 to 30.

Smiling through it all Young cancer survivor brings personal solo show to fringe fest stage michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - Noah Spitzer battled a rare form of thyroid cancer when he was only 16 years old. But instead of seeking support from his friends, brother and sister and extended family, he kept it a secret. It wouldn’t be until five years later that in the form of a one-man show he shared his story. Spitzer’s play, My Second Smile, will be at the Ottawa Fringe Festival at the Arts Court Theatre from June 21 to 30. Spitzer grew up in Overbrook and when he initially had the surgery to help save his life, he refrained from telling anyone how he got the smile-shaped scar on his neck. His mother, Laura Zentner, said it was because her son didn’t want his friends and younger siblings worry about him. In his final year at Ryerson University, Spitzer wrote the one-man play and performed

it for the first time in front of his friends and family. The play was then picked up by an independent theatre company, Theatre Bassaris as its 201213 season opener. Spitzer produces and stars in the play. “This is the most emotional show I’ve ever done as an actor,� Spitzer said. “Since I’ve already lived so many of the moments in the play that said, it’s also the most fun I’ve had acting too.� Now 22 and back in Ottawa, Spitzer added he cannot wait to share his play with

3LFN 8S /RFDWLRQV DQG 6KXWWOH 7LPHV

his hometown. “I think people can expect to laugh a lot and maybe cry a little,� he said. “I hope people are moved. I hope that I can open up a dialogue about cancer in the Ottawa community.� Spitzer will donate 10 per cent of the proceeds to the Ottawa Hospital Foundation and will be hosting a talkback in the Fringe Courtyard on June 22 at 2 p.m. to discuss some of the themes and answer questions about the play. He said he hopes to raise awareness for adolescent cancer with his show. Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door.

Helping build community, strength for young moms Youville Centre receives Growing up Great Award from United Way Ottawa Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC community - In 1989 Jennifer Littlemore, then a young teenager, had her life change quickly when she found out she was going to be a new mom at 18. As decisions about what to do and how to do it quickly became the only thing she thought about, the one thing she knew was she needed to finish high school. Littlemore, and her six month old little girl Holly entered the Youville Centre and her and her young daughter’s life changed forever. Twenty-five years later, Littlemore is a mother of three and an asset manager for the federal government. “Honestly, they helped shaped Holly’s personality, and I couldn’t have done it with out the centre,” Littlemore said. Littlemore graduated from the centre at 21; Holly was two. The Youville Centre was recently awarded the Growing up Great award at the United Way Ottawa’s Community Builder Awards for their continuous work at ensuring that young mothers have the opportunity to graduate high school. The centre started in 1985 by Sister Betty Ann Kinsella, with Kinsella and a small group of citizens providing education for 12 mothers and a day care facility for their infants. The organization became a non-profit in 1987. Now executive director Cindy Simpson said the school has 55 children in its day care facility and at any one time, 48 students completing their degree. Girls aged 15-21 can attend the school, with children as young as 18 months. While mothers are in school learning, their infants and toddlers are enrolled in the on-site day care. “All you have to do is walk in this door and we will help you,” Simpson said. “Young people that have landed here due to life circumstances

may have abandoned their hopes and dreams and it is our hope that when they come in these doors we give them back their dreams and really their life will be richer because of it.” There is a wait list to get into the centre, but enrolment is continuous throughout the year, and during the wait-period, students have the opportunity to enroll in an independent study program.

Honestly, they helped shaped Holly’s personality, and I couldn’t have done it with out the centre. JENNIFER LITTLEMORE, FORMER YOUVILLE CENTRE STUDENT

Littlemore now lives in Manotick with her husband, daughters and son. The mother of three said that throughout her time at the centre what she remembers the most is the strong community support everyone at the school offered her. Holly, now 25 said she is incredibly proud of her mother. “I always looked up to my mom as a role model, and I remember being 20 and thinking I could never have finished high school and have a young child. She is really resilient.” Littlemore said the school instilled the importance of having an education. “It wasn’t just a school, they encouraged continuing education, life skills, so many things I never thought I needed,” she said. Simpson said the centre is more than just offering the new moms a place to complete their high school diploma, it also offers parenting counceling, cooking and financial classes and classes for new dads as

Ottawa author nominated for third Trillium award Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

NANCY VICKERS/SUBMITTED

Cumberland resident Michèle Matteau will find out on June 17, after press time, if she won her third Trillium Book Award.

EMC news - Cumberland resident Michèle Matteau is a Trillium Book Award finalist for her French novel about life in a small francophone village. The third book in a triology, Matteau’s Avant que ne tombe la nuit (Before Night Falls) is one of five books nominated for the provincial book award. If she wins the award, which comes with a $20,000 cash prize, it will be the third Trillium Award for Matteau. She previously won for French

book and poetry. The cash prize is a good incentive for authors – specifically French authors outside of Quebec she said – because it’s near impossible to support yourself as an author. Matteau has a full-time job writing school textbooks and activities for classrooms, and writes her novels on the side. “But you don’t write to have prizes. It’s a passion,” she said. “If your motivation is money, you’re in big trouble.” The book is based in a fictional eastern Ontario francophone village an hour outside of Ottawa. Most of the people

Two libraries go high-tech this fall

have abandoned the village for life in the city, with the only business being the former motel, which was transformed into a long-term care facility. The long term care facility changed the dynamics of the town, as international nurses and doctors move in to work. Matteau’s book focuses on the main character, 73-yearold Leandre, and his relationship with an old doctor who lives at the long-term care home, especially as his girlfriend becomes more absorbed in her life in the city.

“The story is not adventure, but it’s really a reflection on the fear we have,” Matteau said. “When love is gone, what is left as a reason to live? That’s the question he asks himself.” While the setting sounds like it could be similar to Cumberland village – which she lives near – Matteau said she looks at similarities between many villages and puts those aspects into her fictional setting. The book was published in February 2012, and she spent

about 18 months writing it. It’s the second book in the triology, and she is currently working on writing the last book to complete the series. She planned to attend the Trillium ceremony on June 17 in Toronto to find out if she won the French book award. “You don’t know if something in your book may have touched the life of someone, and that’s beautiful,” she said. “It’s an incredible value for a writer to feel that you bring something to society or to an individual.”

Congratulations!

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

EMC news - Library branches in Alta Vista and Centrepointe will be next to receive a high-tech book-sorting system this fall. Work is already underway to affix RFID tags – short for radio frequency identification – to library materials in order to automate the sorting process. Instead of a librarian having to scan each book, CD or DVD back into the library manually, that work will be done instantly by a machine that can pick up a radio signal to track that the material has been returned to the library. The project to upgrade library branches to the new technology is meant to save time, ensure library materials are in circulation instead of sitting on a shelf waiting to be sorted and to free up staff time to provide other services for library patrons. The Hazeldean library branch in Kanata was the first branch to get the RFID technology last year. The Emerald Plaza branch in Nepean will also get the new system as part of a larger renovation. The library board approved spending $634,500 on RFID equipment for the Centrepointe and Alta Vista branches.

Mechanicsville residents begin shaping community’s future Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - A public meeting between city-hired urban planner George Dark and residents of Mechanicsville quickly turned into a discussion on what makes their community unique, and how to preserve that. The Mechanicsville neighbourhood is a large part of the Scott Street community design plan, which recently kicked off with the intent to guide the area into the future as per resident’s wishes. Dark, who has worked with the city and residents on the nearby CDP’s - most recently the Carling-Preston area – used the June 6 meeting to collect early feedback and answer questions relating to policy and process. Under the city’s current Official Plan, the mainly residential and low-rise neighbourhood is designated as a mixed-use centre, providing the rationale for future highdensity developments. While the community’s western edge – Parkdale Avenue – already has high-rise buildings and

will soon see even taller towers, the interior of the neighbourhood consists mainly of aging, working-class two-storey homes and row houses. Dark asked residents what direction they want their neighbourhood to go in and what aspects of the area they are willing to see change. “The way to influence these activities – the way to get what you want – is to go in the front end, not the back,” said Dark, advising residents on how to achieve the best outcome through early participation. The mixed-use designation, he said, was something of an “anomaly,” and that Mechanicsville seemed to be mapped differently than other Ottawa neighbourhoods. “A mixed-use centre is a place that you expect developers to change,” said Dark. “That raises the big question – whether this (zoning) should be removed from the Official Plan.” One resident with past knowledge of the community recalled that in the 1960s, the area was slated for an “urban renewal” project that never materialized. Instead, the land

Tunney’s Pasture, also adjacent to Mechanicsville, is slated for redevelopment and increased density at some point in the future. All these concurrent developments mean the centre of Mechanicsville can change as much or as little as residents want, said Dark, adding that a community vision means more than building form and heights. The consensus among residents was that there is a large desire for a community garden. The most desirable location was north of Laroche Park, on the other side of Burnside Avenue. “The NCC owns most of the land along the parkway, and the area north of Burnside is reserved for (future) embassies,” said Eric Turcotte, a planner from Dark’s Urban Strategies firm. “The area north of Laroche Park has utility – I think it’s a worthwhile idea to look into it.” If the area where residents want a community garden is marked for such a use in the final CDP, it will carry much more weight, argued Dark, and will be less likely to be

With new development and intensification favouring other communities until very recently, Mechanicsville – and its zoning – remained relatively unchanged for decades.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19 @ 7PM

Because of the approval of large condo towers on Parkdale, the neighbourhood as a whole was already meeting density targets, said Dark. As well, the recently-approved CDP for the adjacent (and vacant) Bayview Yards would place much density on the other side of the community.

dismissed. The same goes for amenities, pathways, and green space. Geoffrey Hall, planning advisor to Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs, said community space is part of the adjacent Bayview Yards redevelopment and that the topic of a skate park should be merged into the amenities-related discussions surrounding that area. “If that’s a need or desire, that can be written up,” said Hall. The meeting served as a good introduction to the process that is expected to yield a CDP by the end of the year. Residents and the planners agreed to meet for a more comprehensive meeting at the end of June where topics could be explored more deeply by splitting off into working groups. Dark and his planners would then look at the collected information over the course of the meeting before coming back to the community in the early fall. The date for the June meeting has yet to be set, but will be circulated via correspondence from the councillor’s office and community association.

Recycled flour bags served an indispensible role

G

oing into Renfrew to the grist mill with Mother was always a treat for me. I marvelled at how she bartered for a good price on the flour bags and how she always seemed to come out with a good bargain. The bags were piled willynilly in a heap in a corner and if we went early on a Saturday morning, before too many people beat us to it, the selection was at its best. Mother would take off one at a time, examine it closely, and either toss it aside, or put it in a pile by me. My job was to take the bag and fold it into a square so that it, with the others she picked, would fit nicely in the clothes hamper we brought from the farm. There would be no Saturday-night house party that week as my sister Audrey, Mother and I would spend the evening getting the bags ready for the Monday washing. There would be seams to rip out and those that needed it were cut open with the scissors so that they would lay flat. Of course, they still carried the remnants of the flour they once held and by the time we had worked our way through the basket of

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories bags, we were covered from head to toe. Even our hair was flecked with flour. But since it was Saturday night anyway, our weekly bath and head wash would take care of that. Before they could be made use of, the flour bags had to be washed twice. On Monday morning, they were washed separate from the rest of the laundry, and hung over the fence to dry. That washing was to get rid of the flour dust. The next stage was one I detested and I tried to keep my distance. Mother bought big glass bottles of javel water from Briscoes General Store. Using a big square tub, the bags were soaked for the better part of a day in a mixture of water and javel. This was supposed to take out the bright printing that came with every flour bag, but sadly, it never quite did the job. It wasn’t unusual for me to wear bloomers made

out of the bags, with “Pride of the Valley” still quite visible across my behind. Then the bags had their second washing. If it was a sunny day, they were spread out on the grass outside in the hope the hot rays of the sun would further diminish the vivid printing on every bag. Although everyone I knew in Northcote made use of flour and sugar bags, older girls like my sister Audrey would never admit their underwear once came from Five Roses Flour. Happy was the day when Audrey was finally wearing store bought bloomers from Renfrew. But alas, as long as I went to the Northcote School, my lot in life was flour bag underwear! The best bags, once they had been washed, were laid out flat and the very best of them became sheets. It took four bags to make one sheet and I was off the farm before I found out that sheets didn’t

come with a seam down the middle and one going cross wards! Working around the printed words was a challenge for Mother. She made sure that the best pinny aprons were free of print and pillow cases, sometimes after being bleached three or four times, were ready for embroidering by Audrey and me. I thought my sister was very clever indeed. She made beautiful cross-stitching, which I never did seem to be able to master. French knots were another specialty of hers and “company” tea towels were festooned with lovely embroidery work, which I was quick to point out to whatever guest happened to be helping us red up the kitchen. The aprons Mother made out of flower bags were enormous. They had long tails to tie at the back, and when I had to wear one to churn for butter, it covered me from chin to my ankles, and lay in a heap around my feet on the floor. A coat hook at the back kitchen door held many aprons. These were always fresh as a daisy, ironed, and spanking white. As soon as Mother heard someone come in the lane, she ripped off the apron she

was wearing, even if she had just put it on that morning, and reached for one off the hook. Heaven forbid that she should be caught with a spot on an apron in front of company, even if it was just another farmer coming to have a chat with Father.

wore flour-bag underwear, with a few exceptions like my little friend Joyce and my rival Marguirite, there were times when I wished there was a better way of getting rid of the dyed printing on just about every pair of bloomers I wore.

The best bags, once they had been washed, were laid out flat and the very best of them became sheets. It took four bags to make one sheet and I was off the farm before I found out that sheets didn’t come with a seam down the middle and one going cross wards!

Rick rack braid went on collars of flour-bag blouses to take away the look of where they had come from. The bags had many uses and the price was just right for those Depression years. And what was known many years later as recycling was just another way of surviving those days when there was no money for frivolities. Although just about everyone at the Northcote School

The answer came one morning when I was dressing for school. I mistakenly put the bloomers on backward. The printing was still there, but it was less likely to be seen in a game of tag or ball if my skirt accidentally flew up. Ever after I went to the Northcote School with my flour-bag underwear on backwards and no one was the wiser.

Strawberry parfaits a great way to start the day EMC lifestyle - This is an easy summer entertaining brunch idea. The parfaits can be made ahead to allow for relaxed and easy entertaining. Wheat berries are a true whole grain: they are loaded with nutrients; add a slight crunch and subtle nutty flavour to the parfait. Layers of luscious, creamy whipped ricotta, chewy wheat berries, slices of strawberries and maple syrup for sweetness, will have everyone endlessly dipping their spoons and clanking the bottom for more. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Standing time: 12 hours. Cooking time: 90 minutes. Serves eight. INGREDIENTS

big adventures! Brownie would be a great cottage dog as he loves to play in the water, and would never miss the opportunity to make new friends! Brownie would rather not be cooped up inside all day. In addition to lots of daily exercise, he would love a bit of space, and

maybe even a yard to play in! Brownie would love to spend lots of time with you, and needs lots of exercise and mental stimulation to keep him busy. Leash walks are great but he will also need to run, so trips to the dog park are encouraged! Brownie will need a confident and experienced owner, with your guidance and dedication he will be a wonderful friend. Parker (A152884) is a three-year-old, neutered male, Domestic Longhair cat who loves to play. He was brought to the shelter as a stray on January 21, and is looking for his forever home. Parker gets along with the quieter children who visit him at the shelter, and wouldn’t mind living with them. Parker is laid-back and is looking for a family that will give him some alone time, and a nice sunny spot to perch in, from which he can watch the world fly by!

to other campers or animals. If you are going to camp with a dog (or dogs), it is important that the dog is well-behaved around other people (both adults and children) and animals. Your dog will need to understand when play time is over and how to be quiet. You may want to consider taking the dog to basic training which will help both you and the dog in the new environment – it will make you a better, more responsive dog owner, and it will help you keep your canine companion comfortable in the new place. You know your dog better than anyone. You know what may or will provoke a defensive reaction, and you need to know the steps to take to appropriately deal with any situation that may arise. Make sure your dog is upto-date on vaccinations because dogs can encounter unvaccinated animals while camping. Dog licenses should also be current, and a microchip and identification tags up-to-date. A second set of tags with your cell phone number (or perhaps the number of the cottage or the campsite you will be staying) may be a good idea.

It’s that time of year when weekend getaways are appealing, and summer vacation time is just around the corner. The OHS receives a higher number of dogs surrendered or abandoned as strays in the summer months because their owners cannot find care for the canines during their vacation. But why not pick a getaway that’s fun for the whole family, furry members and all? Camping with your canines can be a lot of fun, and a learning experience for everyone involved. Dogs discover interesting things you might otherwise overlook, and a dog is always thrilled with new smells and sites. You may even see new characteristics in your dog when you are camping; they may walk a little faster, play a little happier, and show you other different aspects of their character you may not see day-to-day. Don’t forget, all these new smells and sites can be very exciting for a dog, and you have to be able to restrain your canine companion in the presence of distractions, such as deer, squirrels and other critters, and also be responsible enough to prevent the dog from being a nuisance

EMC news – With Ottawa kids counting down the days, hours and minutes until school lets out for the summer, many parents are no doubt scrambling to find ways to keep them occupied. Summer camps are an option, but registration dates can all too often pass by unnoticed. The Canada Agriculture and Food Museum is offering parents and kids a choice in day camps at a convenient location that still offers rural charm. The opening of the museum’s new Learning Centre earlier this spring has allowed programming to expand at the Experimental Farm site, with classrooms and workshops ready to accept kids of varying ages. In addition to the museum’s preexisting camps – the Kinder Farm Camp, Fun at the Farm Camp, City Farm Camp and Junior Farmer Camp – kids aged seven to 10 can now try their hand at cooking with the new Sprouting Chefs Camp. The new summer camp, which runs over five days each week starting July 2, is designed to give kids hands-on learning when it comes to growing food, as well as cooking it.

“The idea is really to make cooking and food fun,” said Marie-Sophie Desaulniers, Director, Visitor Experience. “Kids will learn newish food types and be able to prepare their own snacks for the day.” The museum was recently renamed to put more emphasis on food production and the processes that take food from the field to the dinner table. The spacious Learning Centre allows patrons to put that expanded mandate into practice, while the surrounding fields, barns and stables provides the ‘before’ ingredients for the kitchen’s ‘after’. “The kids will learn to take care of a garden… and learn new recipes,” said Desaulniers. “They’re easy to make at home, and they can surprise their parents and siblings with it. We want them to learn where food comes from - to take a look at food that is holistic and make it fun.” Registration is accomplished online at www.agriculture.technomuses.ca. A full listing of the camps, dates, and activities that can be expected can also be found on the website. Organizers caution parents to book their week quickly, as they can fill up in a hurry.

Beginning June 27, 2013, the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) will collect the observational recordings of the race of drivers involved in traffic stops for a two-year period. Drivers will not be asked to identify their race. The focus of the project is officer perception of driver race. Passengers are not included in the study. This project is the result of an agreement between the Ottawa Police Services Board and the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC). The OHRC and the OPS believe that race-based data collection is important in ensuring bias-free policing services. The data will be provided to the OHRC at the end of the two-year collection period. It will be limited to information required for analysis. The data will not include any personal identifiers of drivers. The project will be the largest of its kind in Canada.

The Ottawa-Vanier NDP Riding Association will be hosting a policy discussion on Economic Equality of Opportunity. Dennis Howlett, executive director of Canadians for Tax Fairness and Dr. Andrew Sharpe, executive director of the Centre for the Study of Living Standards will lead us in an interactive discussion on current challenges and policy options. The event takes place on June 20 at 7 p.m. at the Sandy Hill Community Centre, located at 250 Somerset St. East. For more information, call 613-292-8928.
