vincial decision a victory for residents. “My thanks go out to the community,” she said. “You were all there at every meeting.” We need to make sure we don’t move a problem from one established community to another,” Meilleur said, alluding to the heavy truck traffic that currently uses the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge and King Edward Avenue, and that could shift to any new crossing.

EMC news - The city is putting the brakes on a plan to let STO run buses down Boteler Street. But Ottawa is stopping short of ordering the National Capital Commission to keep bus lanes on Sussex as part of a road revamp and a roundabout set for Union Street and King Edward Avenue is still a go. Those changes are all part of plan to deal a need for Gatineau’s transit authority, STO, to queue up its buses on the north section of King Edward. Because the NCC wants a reconstruction of Sussex Drive to convert the road into a scenic boulevard as part of its Confederation Boulevard ceremonial route, bus lanes will be removed from the north section of Sussex. That would leave STO’s buses stuck in traffic in the afternoon after they file over the bridge to await their runs through Ottawa’s downtown, so Ottawa offered to let the buses cut through Lowertown to get to the layup point. That incensed a handful of residents during a meeting on June 13, and Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury has received a flood of emails and comments since.

EMC news - When it comes to interprovincial bridges, it takes two to tango. And Ontario isn’t ready to dance just yet. The Ontario government has “reset the conversation” on the site of a future bridge between Gatineau and Ottawa, says provincial Transportation Minister Glenn Murray. He announced on June 17 that Ontario will not provide funding for a bridge proposal that

would cross at Kettle Island and make use of the Aviation Parkway to connect bridge traffic with Highway 417. A recently completed environmental assessment selected Kettle Island as the best place for a new bridge. Without provincial funding, it’s unlikely a bridge could go ahead as planned. Murray’s announcement – held outside the Montfort Hospital within sight of the Aviation Parkway – was greeted with cheers by a handful of local residents. Manor Park

homeowners had been vocal in their criticism of the Kettle Island crossing because it would bring truck traffic to the parkway as interprovincial trade used the tree-lined road as the shortest connection between the bridge and Highway 417. Murray said the province “listened very carefully” to the public. He said the Liberal caucus, including local MPP’s Madeleine Meilleur and Phil McNeely, were unanimous in turning down any involvement with the Kettle Island plan. Meilleur called the pro-

Vanier Farmers Market moves to new location This year’s edition bigger, better: BIA director Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Quartier Vanier Farmers Market will move locations this summer, moving to the eastern edge of the neighbourhood at the former Belisle Cadillac Chevrolet dealership. The move came after the Vanier business improvement area received notice that its current location in a Scotiabank parking lot, where the market has operated for the past five years, was no longer available. Suzanne Valiquet, executive director of the BIA, said the organization began looking for a new location as quickly as it could and sought suggestions from the commu-

nity. “We hope it will attract everybody,� she said. “Yes, it’s a bit further walk from the central core (of the neighbourhood), but it’s either there or not at all. No other location was available.� Top choices for the new location included the St. Charles Church yard and another bank parking lot at Desjardin, both of which Valiquet said they explored, but could not acquire. “It’s hard with private property,� Valiquet said. “If they say no, you can’t do it.� Valiquet said Belisle on the other hand welcomed the BIA with open arms. The Belisle dealership closed its doors at the end of 2012, but the property remains in the hands of Paul Belisle. Valiquet said the new location is a bit further away from Vanier’s core, but she hopes it will encourage more residents who live south of Montreal Road, as well as residents who live in Brittany Park,

Carson Grove and Overbrook, to visit the market. “Aside from a market in Orleans, our market is the only one in the east end,� she said. “Hopefully we will be able to rebuild here that the community will be able to support.� With the new location, Quartier Vanier said it hopes it will be able to expand, both with more farmers selling their wares as well as activities for residents to enjoy.

One bonus, Valiquet said, is more bands will be able to perform, because there will be more space for the market to spread out. There are also plans to bring in picnic tables and benches for people to sit and enjoy some of the food they purchase. “We are working on making it expand, inviting and accepting vendors that we have over the years, we are inviting

others to expand,� Valiquet said. The new location, she said, has perks the former one did not. Along with a transit stop nearby, it also boasts ample parking for residents who are looking to purchase a pile of food. Although the new location is closer to two grocery stores, Valiquet said the market will be the best place to purchase fresh produce grown

in the Ottawa region. “If you want local stuff, come to our market,� Valiquet said. The BIA is still working on confirming vendors, but Valiquet said the usual suspects will be back, including Alpenblick Farm, Rock ‘n’ Root Farm and Foster Family Farm. The market opens July 13 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will run Saturdays until Oct. 5.

Community garden to help supply east-end food bank Project to bring fresh produce options to Partage Vanier Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - The food bank in Vanier is taking production into its own hands when it plants 10 garden boxes full of produce to be distributed to clients. On July 5 and 6, Partage Vanier will be setting up a

community garden, the first of its kind in the city for a food bank. The garden will help provide fresh produce to families in need in the neighbourhood. Partage Vanier intake worker France Boies announced the build day at the Vanier Beautification summer party held recently.

The organization, Bois said, is hoping for volunteers to help get the garden up and running. This will be the first community garden owned and run by a food bank and the fourth community garden in Vanier. The Vanier Community Garden has 36 individual plots and donates two of the plots,

As strong supporter of community gardens, Rideau High School has helped build all the garden boxes for Vanier’s gardens in the past, but this late in the school year it means the food bank will be building the boxes on their own. “We need any help we can

Old Ottawa East ecstatic about plans to revive Main Street Prioritizing cycling, walking over extra vehicles lanes is a good move, community says Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A vision for Ottawa’s first “complete street� that affords the same priority to cyclists and pedestrians as to cars attracted around 300 people in Old Ottawa East on June 17. The city is reconstruction Main Street starting in 2015 and the plans call for a radical change that will reduce vehicle lanes from four to two to make way for dedicated cycling tracks, wider sidewalks and dedicated on-street parking. The plans will calm traffic and convert Main Street back into the vibrant community commercial artery it once was, said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. He’s extremely enthusiastic about the plans and the prominence they give to active modes of transportation, such as cycling and walking. “There are four types of users of any streets (pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and buses),� Chernushenko said. “Our streets are optimized at the moment for one of those users – cars. “You have to make a statement at a certain point. You have to make driving a bit more difficult and we’re doing it on purpose,� he said. Old Ottawa East Community Association president John Dance said it is very exciting that the city is taking an aggressive stance to promote a complete-street vision for Main Street. “It really has set the tone for what can be done,� he said. Local merchants are on board,

Chernushenko said. They say the street is now “anti-socialâ€? and wards off customers. Business owners are excited about an improvement in on-street parking as a result of the rebuild. While the number of spaces will be reduced from 142 to 85, those spots will be available 24 hours a day, instead of only certain off-peak hours. Old Ottawa East resident Kristin Kendall was enthusiastic about a complete street’s potential to make the community more integrated. As for potential traffic congestion, she said motorists will deal with it. “I think it will be fine,â€? she said. “People will just accept it ‌ If people are forced to change the way they drive, (it will be) better for everyone.â€? That opinion wasn’t universal. A couple residents who live in a condo building at the north end of Main

Street at the canal were unhappy with the plans because they require the road to be widened in that location, which will remove extensive landscaping around their building that is planted on city road allowances. One of the residents, Christine Nestruck, said she would prefer to see a plan that improved transportation both for commuters coming from the south end as well as local residents. Chernushenko said there will always be pushback to any change, but he is convinced people will appreciate the changes in the long run. Instead of simply a painted line to mark a cycling lane, the city is proposing to put raised cycling tracks along Main Street. The tracks are meant to provide more separation between bikes and vehicles. The city is currently installing Ottawa’s first cycling tracks on Churchill Avenue. The cycling tracks would run from

McIlraith Bridge to Harvey Street in the northbound direction, with sharrow markings completing the cycling connection on Main Street to the canal. From west of the canal and Pretoria Bridge, the cycling connection is proposed to use the counter-directional lane that already exists of Graham Avenue to bypass Hawthorne Avenue. Treatments for future cycling connections down Clegg are also in the plans. That would connect a proposed footbridge over the Rideau Canal at Clegg Street and Fifth Avenue to both Main Street and a proposed Rideau River pathway that is currently being designed. Some people in attendance, including Kendall, were excited about the idea of changing the intersection at Main Street and Riverdale Avenue into a roundabout. “I love roundabouts,� she said. “It

allows traffic to operate in a more integrated fashion,� she said, adding that a more continuous traffic flow through a roundabout can also reduce vehicle idling and pollution. But Theresa Wallace said the traffic light at that location helps calm fast-moving traffic coming over the bridge by forcing it to a stop when the light is red. Cycling or walking in a roundabout is also more daunting than at a regular signalized intersection, Wallace said. The transportation project manager, Ziad Ghadban, said roundabouts have more of a traffic-calming effect than signalized intersections because roundabouts force all vehicles to slow down – not just the vehicles that happen to catch a red light. A second public open house with fewer people in attendance was held at the Greenboro Community Centre the next day at the request of Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, who was concerned residents of her ward would face longer commutes. Montreal BMW Retailers

Vanier association welcomes new board members Annual meeting held at local fire hall also draws attention to safety issues Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Four new community members welcomed to the board of the Vanier Community Association at its annual general meeting held recently. The Vanier Community Association held its annual

meetings, there were few nominees announced, and nominees from the floor typically filled the board. This year, six people, including Bulthuis put their name forward for election. With no nominations from the floor, Christine Head, Bulthuis, Kristen Duke, Sarah Partridge, Chris Penton and Ross Taylor were elected.

She said she began attending the meetings because she felt it was important for there to be an Aboriginal voice at both community groups. Head’s most recent work with the association was coordinating the painting of a mural for Optimiste Park with youth from Wabano and the association. Her interests, she added, will continue to be in the parks for the board. With new board members joining, the association did say goodbye to three members, Geoff Derry, Gyulia Borbely and Aaron Duke. The meeting welcomed more than 80 residents, community members and local politicians where the association updated everyone on the past year. As president, Bulthuis updated the crowd on the past year, showcasing the success the association has had with 10 named priorities for the neighbourhood. Of the success stories, the association boasted it has more than doubled its membership, with 250 members and counting, it has acquired one of four coveted Better Neighbourhoods Grants -which the association intends to use to launch a communitywide festival, and place wayfinding signs and community bulletin boards around the neighbourhood. Other accomplishments include launching a Vanier Artists Registry, a new neighbourhood watch in Vanier south and new fundraising initiatives. The numbers of engaged residents has continued to grow over the past year, with 15 to 20 residents at each meeting.

Mathieu Fleury said the association has had a fabulous year, and credited all the hard work to both the board and the constant flow of support and volunteer The meeting was split in two, with a portion of the evening dedicated to informing residents about fire safety and fire prevention. Vanier has been subject to a number of fires recently, and that in part, is why Fleury and Fire Chief John deHooge felt it would be a great opportunity to host the community association’s annual general

meeting at the station. Doubling as both a community space and a working fire hall, one of the two fire trucks parked outside the hall did rush out for a call at the beginning of the meeting. As fire chief, deHooge welcomed residents to Station 57. “The fire fighters that work here, they look at this building as another home, that doesn’t belong to them, it belongs to you, the community,” he said. The chief added that fighting fires is only half of what the Ottawa Fire Services is about, the other half is about creating a community and ensuring that community knows how to keep itself safe. The fire prevention presentation provided residents with tips about fire alarms, escapes and fire drills along with what the right and wrong things to do are if there is a fire. R0022158693

Adrienne Alison’s design concept Triumph Through Diversity was chosen as the winning entry in the National Capital Commission’s War of 1812 monument contest. The full-size version will be unveiled on Parliament Hill in 2014.

Design chosen for War of 1812 monument Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - A new monument commemorating the War of 1812 will soon begin taking shape, destined for a permanent spot on Parliament Hill. The National Capital Commission announced last week that it had chosen a winning design for the monument, which will overlook the National War Memorial and Wellington Street from the high ground at the southeast corner of Parliament Hill. Toronto-based artist Adrienne

Alison’s contribution, titled Triumph Through Diversity, was selected following a design competition and lengthy judging process that involved a public open house. During the March 20 event, residents weighed in on two ďŹ nalists. “The War of 1812 was an incredibly important turning point in Canada’s history,â€? said Alison via media release. “As a sculptor, it’s a great honour to be selected to create this monument for Parliament Hill so that all Canadians can connect with this pivotal time in our history.â€?

Created to mark the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the war that saw colonial and ďŹ rst nations forces repel an American invasion of Upper and Lower Canada, the monument will be unveiled in the fall of 1814. The war brought with it a new sense of national unity within the edgling British colony, leading to expansion and growth and paving the way for Confederation a half century later. Triumph Through Diversity consists of seven bronze ďŹ gures perched close together atop a granite pedestal, anked by two

small stone boats. The monument represents the “coming togetherâ€? of the diverse array of combatants in the conict, who each set aside their differences and took up arms to repel the invasion. Alison’s work illustrates the two theatres of that war, which occurred on both land and water. Etchings into the stone will tell the story of the War of 1812 to Parliament Hill visitors. At March’s open house, Alison said she wanted to create a monument that was educational, but also easy to understand. R0012163832.0620

The city is overhauling land-use plans for the entire community of Vanier with a goal of encouraging development to be kept to four to six storeys along the main drag, said lead planner Melanie Knight. That will likely mean a reduction in the density and height of buildings allowed on some spots right along Montreal Road, Knight said. Right now, there is a mix of sizes of properties that all have different zoning. Some small properties have low-density zoning, but there are several large properties that can have buildings of up to 14 storeys. To create a more consistent look, the city is recommending keeping the buildings between four and six storeys at the street front, but continue to allow developers to step back to a taller building farther back from the street. Knight said the specific building heights haven’t been decided, but she will have that ready for the July 8 meeting. “It’s pretty much a complete revamp of what the old policies were,”

Knight said. There was little feedback at a public meeting earlier this year, but Knight is hoping for more input from residents and particularly property and business owners at a meeting on July 8 in the community room at the Francophone Centre at 270 Marier Ave. The meeting will run from 6 to 9 p.m. with a presentation at 6:30 p.m. Knight said members of the merchants’ association “seemed pretty receptive” to the direction of the plans earlier this year, but she is curious to hear their thoughts now that there is a more solidified plan that could reduce the development potential of some properties in Vanier. “They did know that was going to be part of the proposal,” Knight said. The updated policies slightly expand the boundaries of Vanier and splits it into three sectors: east, central and west. The east and west sectors, which cover the area around Montreal Road starting at Cummings Bridge to the west and St. Laurent Boulevard to the east, are similar in character, Knight said. They are both gateways into Vanier and have potential to become home to taller buildings, such as at the Eastview Plaza at Montreal Road

and North River Road. The existing height limits in these areas are already around 14 storeys and they have “a lot of potential,” Knight said. “We know there are a lot of big parcels and they are underutitlized,” she said, noting there are many surface parking lots in Vanier that could be redeveloped. The central district, which runs from the Vanier Parkway to Granville Street, should retain its “historic, traditional downtown feel,” Knight said. In order to do that, Knight plans to clean up the zoning to create more consistent heights. Right now, there is a lot of inconsistency, with buildings allowed from 16 to 42 metres depending on the property. Knight confirmed that McArthur Avenue will remain designated as a traditional main street. The city had looked into changing McArthur to more of an arterial street, but heard from the community that residents want to keep it accessible to pedestrians and make it a more attractive place to walk or cycle. That is a theme throughout the plans for Vanier, Knight said. The old plans for Vanier highlighted cycling and pedestrian connectivity and that will remain.

Well, what now Queen’s Park?

S

o, the province has declared it won’t support an interprovincial bridge crossing at Kettle Island. OK. This newspaper has supported the construction of at bridge at that location in the past, but barring a change in the political winds, the route favoured by the National Capital Commission appears to be dead in the water. But what does the city do now? That the capital region needs another Ottawa River crossing does not need any further justification: the last bridge, Portage, was built by the NCC in 1973 when the area population stood at about half of what it is now. As cities grow, the need for infrastructure grows along with it. So what do we do now? The province has said it will work with the city to develop a new transportation master plan to accommodate future growth, but the need for a new interprovincial crossing can’t be ignored by such an exercise – Ottawa and Gatineau don’t exist independently of one another. Some have suggested constructing a tunnel beneath the river to divert truck traffic away from Lowertown – King Edward Avenue is currently the most-used route into the city for trucks moving to and from Gatineau – but such a plan would cost

significantly more than a bridge. Perhaps one of the other routes studied by the NCC, at Lower Duck Island or McLaurin Bay, would be better. Except they have both been identified as being more expensive, according to the NCC’s studies, and would require significant additional infrastructure to connect with the rest of the road network. Whatever the answer, action needs to be taken. An east-end interprovincial crossing has been discussed for decades and the issues are not going away any time soon. The efficient transport of goods to and from the city is vital to economic growth, which effects employment, wealth and consumer prices in the capital region. Now that the province has taken its stand, what will it do to address the problem? It was not particularly helpful to denounce a plan without offering an alternative. Perhaps the government wants to take some time to study the issue, but haven’t we been doing just that for more than 20 years? It would have been more responsible of Transportation Minister Glenn Murray to resist making his announcement until the province had something tangible to offer the residents of Ottawa in the way of an alternative. No action simply is not a responsible choice when it comes to Ottawa’s future.

You can’t get there from here in a big city

T

he other day someone was talking in the paper about light rail and the lamentable absence of a north-south route. As luck would have, this discussion coincided with a couple of drives to the airport and back, in the period between 4 and 6 p.m. Don’t ever do this. As far as I can figure out, having tried all the available routes to and from the middle west of Ottawa, you can’t get there from here. And you can’t get back. And sure, you can suggest picking some other time of day, but you might have a hard time convincing the airlines to change their schedules. The big problem is that everybody wants to go south and more and more of them are choosing the Airport Parkway (by the way, how come it hasn’t been named after Sir John A. Macdonald yet?). Most of them don’t use the parkway to get to the airport. They us it get to other places and the parkway, nicely narrowing from four lanes to two just when the four are most needed, can’t handle the traffic. Nor can Bronson Avenue, as the people who live in the Glebe have long known. And even getting to the parkway is no pic-

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town nic either, since every car wants to go east on Baseline and Heron, every car except for the cars that want to go west. At certain points the east-bound and west-bound travellers can stare across the median at each other as they sit mired in traffic. That leaves the Merivale-Hunt Club-Uplands Drive option, which worked pretty well about 15 years ago. Merivale is, well, Merivale. And Hunt Club has a huge jam-up, just about any time of day, at its Riverside and Prince of Wales intersections. Still, it takes about the same amount of time as the Baseline-Merivale-Airport Parkway option – which is to say, twice the amount of time it takes in off hours. You’d think it would be easier coming back, but it isn’t. The parkway sails along Published weekly by:

nicely, but Hunt Club has the same problems going east. Baseline-Heron has the same congestion going west. Face it, everybody wants to go everywhere. At a certain time of day, every direction in Ottawa seems to contain a favourite destination. You can sit still in your car no matter which direction you are facing. One driver, lulled by a smooth ride north on the parkway, decided to stay on it, head north on Bronson to Carling. That worked well until three blocks from the Carling intersection, when everything decided to stop moving for 15 minutes. An option would have been to keep going and turn onto the Queensway, but why would anyone do that? It is easy enough for an occasional visitor to the airport to complain, but there are people who have to do this, or a variation of it, every day, usually at a time when everybody else is trying to do it as well. And you only have to drive south a bit and look at all the new construction to realize that the situation is going to be way worse in the near future. It would be nice to think that the new Strandherd Bridge, if it is ever finished, will make things better, but it is hard to see how it can help much. Building some light rail out there would

really help, but that is probably decades in the future, not to mention many millions of dollars. More houses are going up and more people are traveling on the same roads. Maybe some of them will start working from home. Maybe some employers may decide to locate where the people are. You can only hope. Meanwhile there will be considerable agitation to build more lanes on this road and that, which never seems to solve anything. We wanted to become a big city. Well, guess what.

Sleep isn’t a luxury – it’s essential to good health

I

f health statistics are to be believed, I spent most of the winter living like most of you, dear readers. In other words, I ate too much, sat too much, drank too much and failed to get 150 minutes of exercise per week, (like a shocking 80 per cent of adult Canadians). These are all things that contribute to chronic disease and early death. As a recent Maclean’s cover story highlighted, however, there’s something else that’s debilitating and slowly killing us – sleep deprivation. Adults require 8.5 hours of sleep, on average, per night, yet most of us are running a devastating sleep deficit. The June 24th feature highlighted a number of disturbing medical studies that would suggest it’s time to better prioritize sleep in our lives. One, out the University of Chicago, restricted seven healthy, thin volunteers to 4.5 hours of sleep per night. “Their very cells had been transformed,” summarizes journalist Luiza Ch. Savage in Maclean’s. “It was as if the bodies of the otherwise

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse healthy specimens had been swapped with that of someone else: someone heavy and sick.” Savage goes onto summarize a number of international studies that not only link sleep deprivation to depleted cell growth and repair, diabetes and obesity, but also to decreased pain tolerance, weakened memory and impaired social judgment. One scientist quoted in the article went so far as to suggest that sleep deprived individuals act in a similar way to those under the influence of alcohol, even putting women at higher risk of sexual harassment and unwanted pregnancies. Just last week, my family doctor mentioned research circulating in the medical community that seems to be strengthening the link

between long-term sleep deprivation and fibromyalgia, a chronic pain and fatigue disorder. Ninety per cent of fibromyalgia patients are women. A 2011 Norwegian study on the subject shockingly concluded that long-term sleep deprivation triples women’s risk of getting fibromyalgia. Researchers began by interviewing 12,350 healthy, pain-free women about their sleep habits. A decade later, those who had identified sleep difficulties at the beginning of the study were three times more likely than those who said they slept well to have developed fibromyalgia symptoms. All this is horrible and shocking, but is it enough to make a nation of fatigued individuals change our be-

haviour? Probably not. But what if we consider how inadequate sleep affects our children? I have friends – mothers – that haven’t had a full night’s sleep in more than a decade. They don’t believe in sleep-training, they say, which means they’ve got toddlers waking every two hours to feed and school-aged children refusing bedtimes or waking up frequently with night terrors. Although my friends seem to be coping for the moment – I’m not sure how – I worry about their health in 10 years’ time, and the health of their children. Children need a lot more sleep than parents realize. School-age kids need 10-11 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night to be healthy. Kids under four need 11-12 hours of consecutive sleep per night, plus 2-3 hours during the day. And what happens if they don’t? Well, not only does it put their immune systems at higher risk of contracting viruses, but, as Savage notes in her Maclean’s piece, researchers have found “inadequate sleep in children has

been linked to hyperactivity and even incorrect diagnosis of attention deficit disorder (ADD).” Recently, we were experiencing some issues with one of our children. Was it ADD? He seemed chronically anxious, temperamental and frustratingly inattentive. It wasn’t until I started

disturbing to me, as a parent, is the link between sleep deprivation and depression, including chronic depression leading to suicide. As a parent, I see it as my responsibility – not a mere choice – to teach my kids to respect sleep, and show them, with love, how to get there, from as early as possible.

Most disturbing to me, as a parent, is the link between sleep deprivation and depression, including chronic depression leading to suicide.

researching sleep that I realized he’s been running a deficit for several weeks – call it end-of-school fever. We rolled back his bedtime by an hour and, within a week, he’s become a different kid. When I’ve advocated for sleep training to some parents, they’ve made the false assumption that sleep training causes anxiety. In fact, the opposite is true. Most

Now that summer has arrived, I’m happy to say that I’m no longer eating, drinking and sitting all day long. In fact, I’m working out two hours per day minimum. The only exception is on days when I don’t get a good night’s sleep. Thankfully, even with an infant (who sleeps 11 hours consecutively per night, on average), we’ve managed to keep those to a minimum.

Councillors seek help for victims of ‘sewer blasts’ Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Park taking shape The temporary park being built on a land owned by Richcraft Homes at the corner of Rideau Street and Charlotte Street in Sandy Hill was getting closer to completion last week. ALLAN HUBLEY vice,� Hume said. “It’s incredibly poor customer service. “In the world of municipal politics, there is nothing worse than crap in peoples’ basements,� he added. Hume said the city should be responsible for the cleanup and should not “download� the responsibility onto homeowners. Hubley agreed. “We created this problem. We should be part of the solution,� he said. Sewer cleaning needs to be done approximately every five to seven years in each community, Hubley said. Annual clearing happens in problem areas where sewers have dips that collect leaves and other materials that block the flow. The other cleaning option would be to send city workers into the sewers to dig up the blockages, Hubley said. That process is more tedious and expensive and involves closing roads, he said. There are approximately 200,000 buildings connected to 2,700 kilometres of sanitary pipes in the city of Ottawa. Each year, the city cleans 800 km of pipes in front of approximately 60,000 buildings. The report indicated in 2009 there were 1,591 buildings receiving special notifications of sewer cleaning. Recurrences are uncommon, the report states.

EMC news - Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley is spitting mad over the city’s lax procedures to help homeowners who fall victim to the city’s “sewer blasts.â€? There’s no way to put it delicately, Hubley said. The way the city clears blocked sewer pipes can sometimes cause the sewer’s contents – including human waste – to explode from a toilet into someone’s home. This happens to an average of 55 buildings in the city each year, according to a 2009 city report. “It’s hazardous waste,â€? Hubley said. But there is a simple way to prevent it, he said – one that he has been working with city staff to implement since shortly after he was elected in 2010. “(Staff) told me the simple solution is ‌ what your mother told you as a young boy: to put the (toilet) seat down,â€? he said. Since he found that out thanks to an inquiry by his predecessor, Peggy Feltmate, Hubley has asked for staff to let him know before they show up on a street to clear the sewers. He sends out a flyer to all the affected homes to let them know how to prevent issues. Hubley thought that was being done for councillors across the city, but he was “shockedâ€? to find out on June 19 that other councillors were not being told when sewer clearing is happening in their wards. A livid Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume raised the issue at a June 18 environment committee meeting. He recounted a story of a resident in his ward who suffered that fate and was sprayed with effluent as a result of sewer cleaning. When the resident called 311, they were given no information or advice on how to deal with the situation and were told to contact their insurance provider. “If someone gets splashed with that effluent while they’re doing the laundry, we don’t give them any ad-

New Glebe president looks to blogging to stay connected Christine McAllister takes over association leadership from Lynn Barlow Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - A new president is at the helm of the Glebe Community Association and in an effort to spark new interest and relay information to the neighbourhood, the organization is moving online and interactive. Christine McAllister took over the position of association president on June 11. She has lived in the Glebe for 10 years and throughout her time living there, she said she has participated and been involved in a number of association and neighbourhood activities. McAllister said to her, this new position as is all about

keeping a strong community strong – and maybe engaging a few newbies along the way. In order to do that, she plans to set up a blog as a way to interact with the community. “It’s about sharing information in an informal way,” McAllister said. Residents can check out the blog at glebeca.blogspot. ca. McAllister has already been busy with two posts, one welcoming residents and the other was a slew of images showing off artists from the New Art Festival, which took place on June 15. McAllister has not specified how many times she will post each month, simply stat-

Past president Lynn Barlow, right, passes the torch, or in this case, a large gavel to new president Christine McAllister. She said she will begin a blog to help keep neighbours up-to-date with everything in the Glebe. ing she will aim to write as much as she can, focusing on events and issues as they come up. One goal she has already

identified is three questions she feels the board needs to address this year: *How the association will be able to hear about issues in

different areas of the Glebe. *How the association will get information from the city and other sources out to the neighbourhood, so that if there is something residents may be interested in, they will be able to find out about it. *How the association will be able to provide opportunities for residents to become involved in the issues they care about. “I have big shoes to fill, there have been some great presidents in the Glebe, but I am very excited about having this opportunity,” McAllister said. Residents filled the meeting room at the Glebe Community Centre on June 11 for the association’s annual general meeting. Community updates and formal goodbyes were made to board members who were

Queen’s Park to work with city on new transportation master plan Continued from page 1

McNeely said he’s happy to see the province walk away from the Kettle Island plan. “I’m really pleased that the message (from Murray) came out strong,” McNeely said, adding that the city’s east-west traffic needs to be addressed before a bridge is built. TUNNEL?

Murray said the province plans to work closely with the city to re-establish a transportation master plan for the city. “We need a longer-term view and a conversation with the whole region,” Murray said, adding that means looking at east-west travel, truck routes and getting cars off the road by investing in public transit.

“The provincial government has to listen closely to municipal councils and mayors,” Murray said. Murray said a master plan for Ottawa’s transportation needs could include a tunnel between Gatineau and Ottawa, a tunnel only for trucks, or even a ring road around the city’s established communities, an idea that was floated about a decade ago and then shelved. “What we’re not going to do is thrust new bridges and highways through existing neighbourhoods,” Murray said. Mayor Jim Watson said he was pleased to hear the province’s position. “It mirrors what I’ve said all along,” Watson said. “The city’s number one transportation priority is transit … We

can’t take our eyes off that ball.” LOCAL SUPPORT

Among those in attendance at the announcement was Orléans resident Louis Caron, a member of Sustainable Ottawa along with some residents of Manor Park and Lowertown. He said he’s been working for five years on the truck traffic issue. Caron said he’d like to see a vehicle tunnel between Gatineau and Highway 417 that stretches under Dalhousie Street and Nicholas Avenue. “It would eliminate 11 traffic lights,” he said of the proposal, which has already been shared with the city. He called the idea of resurrecting the city’s transportation master plan an excellent

suggestion, noting that had a Kettle Island bridge gone ahead, the number of people using public transit could actually drop as riders switch to cars. One local resident who arrived at the Montfort Hospital announcement site on his bike said he agreed with the province’s decision. Robert, who didn’t give his last name, lives near Manor Park. He said the question of a Kettle Island bridge has been around for a long time, and despite the province pulling the plug, the city needs to address the downtown truck traffic. “They still have to find a solution,” he said. Cumberland Coun. Steven Blais said the announcement is an important decision for the community.

“I applaud the provincial government for making the decision,” he said, adding that spending should be prioritized. “If there’s a billion or a billion-and-a-half dollars floating around it should be spent on the LRT. We’ve working very hard to get an extension of LRT to Orléans much sooner than (has been) discussed.” Blais also questioned the utility of a crossing at Kettle Island since the completed bridge study says a crossing at Kettle Island would have “almost no impact on trucks in downtown and Lowertown.” Orléans Coun. Bob Monette also spoke about spending priorities, but still thinks Kettle Island may be the site of a bridge far in the future. “If there ever was going to be a bridge built, I think Ket-

stepping down, including former president Lynn Barlow. The annual meeting also welcomed a motion to officially join forces with the Glebe Annex Community Association. The Annex will continue to operate as its own association; but insurance and volunteer membership would be handled by the Glebe. This motion was unanimously passed. Glebe Annex president Sylvia Milne and Sue Stefko attended the meeting on behalf of their association. The association takes a break for the summer, with most board members communicating with each other and the community through email. McAllister added she hopes the blog will become another way for residents to stay informed in between meetings.

tle Island was always the best location,” Monette said, “but when it comes to priorities for Orléans, right now a bridge is not a priority. “It’s a good idea to identify the future location, but right now all our resources should be focused on LRT and infrastructure. What we need right now is for the province, the federal government and the municipality to concentrate on the major issues at hand.” Watson said the idea of tunnel for trucks under Ottawa’s downtown was dismissed too early in the process. “What (the province’s decision) should do is act as an impetus to look at that more closely,” Watson said. The mayor also floated the idea of using tolls to help pay for the tunnel, adding that Murray was “enthusiastic” about that idea during a meeting on June 18. With files from Laura Mueller

soléa: STEPPING OUT OF PAIN AND INTO STYLE When Ian Colquhoun and his team opened soléa in Ottawa at 943 Carling Avenue ten years ago, they had no idea how the community would take to the concept of offering both pedorthic services of a Certified Pedorthist and the largest selection of fine comfort footwear in Ottawa at one convenient location. After a decade and thousands of satisfied clients with happier feet, they have their answer. First, for the uninitiated, a Certified Pedorthist is a well-trained health care professional who specializes in the use of footwear and supportive devices to address conditions that affect the feet and lower limbs. These specialists can analyze and correct gait and posture problems with the use of orthotics, custom-crafted footwear inserts that, when properly designed and manufactured, can bring relief to a host of foot, leg, back pain and mobility issues. soléa and their clients are fortunate to have the talent, dedication, and services of Derek Gilmer, C. Ped. (C), C. Ped. Tech, one of the few Ottawa area Certified Pedorthists who holds both designations of Canadian Certified Pedorthist and Certified Pedorthic Technician. What this means is that at soléa, Derek Gilmer, C. Ped. (C), C. Ped. Tech. the person who assesses your foot issues is the same person who designs and manufactures your orthotics and who,trains the staff to help you select the proper footwear for your orthotics. This spring, Derek is offering complimentary consultations to clients of soléa Pedorthic Services and they are now available on an appointment basis. Just about every client of soléa Pedorthic Services is amazed at the relief from pain that their new orthotics provide. Rather than feeling tired and drained at the end of their day, they walk with renewed energy that’s testament to a freedom in mobility they may not have experienced in years. They have learned what the soléa team has known for years-proper foot alignment may help provide the foundation for painfree leg, hip, lower back and upper back mobility. The drive to satisfy the demand for comfort footwear that is both stylish and functional came from the need to serve both women and men who require orthotics but don’t necessarily want to wear orthopedic looking shoes. The success of any orthotic appliance is based not only on the skills of the pedorthist but on the quality and fit of the shoe it is to be inserted into. To this end, soléa researches and holds all the shoe and accessory lines it carries to a very high standard. Such well known names as Finn Comfort, Mephisto, Dansko and Gabor, to name only a few, are not only stocked at soléa, but carried in full seasonal offerings for those who desire comfortable footwear year round. As well, Certified Pedorthist, Derek Gilmer trains each soléa sales associate to help ensure the best match for the client of orthotics and shoe. For those with discriminating taste, soléa provides shoes that look decidedly fashionable without sacrificing quality or function

UNLIKE MOST ORTHOTICS CLINICS THAT RELY UPON COMPUTER-GENERATED ORTHOTICS AND THAT OUTSOURCE THEIR MANUFACTURING, THE CLIENTS OF SOLÉA PEDORTHIC SERVICES BENEFIT FROM HANDS-ON, TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE AND LOCAL MANUFACTURING CRAFTED BY HAND.

There is a fast turnaround time of ten working days for most custom made orthotics.

But no matter where you might have received your orthotics, you’re more than welcome at soléa. Rather than choosing from a limited selection of footwear at an ordinary shoe retailer, at soléa you can select from a wide array of styles and fashions, chosen to meet most budgets. And, at soléa, you can be assured of the highest levels of professional and personal service that will help maximize the benefits of your custom orthotics by correctly matching them to the right shoe.

soléa is located at 943 Carling Avenue at Sherwood Drive, just west of Dow’s Lake and easily accessible from the Queensway via the Parkdale Avenue exit or a short walk from the Carling Avenue O-Train station. The pedorthic clinic is by appointment only and the phone number is 613-728-6905. soléa has free parking and is open Mondays through Wednesdays from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, Thursdays and Fridays from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm and is also open Saturdays from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and Sundays from 12 noon to 5:00 pm. soléa can be reached at 613-728-6905 or by email at info@solea.ca or you can visit the website at www.solea.ca to view soléa’s services and extensive lines of fine comfort footwear.

CITY OF OTTAWA/SUBMITTED

The city is looking at other routes to get STO buses to a planned roundabout at Union Street and King Edward Avenue, where they wait to start their routes, after Boteler Street residents complained about the possibility of buses on their street.

rently use to turn around. Until the city can work with STO to get those buses out of city streets and keep them on the Transitway, Fleury said Ottawa must focus on mitigating the impact of having Gatineau’s buses on our streets. The roundabout is part of the overall $31-million budget for the reconstruction of Sussex from St. Patrick Street to King Edward Avenue. The city needs to replace the underground utilities, but the project also includes upgrades requested and partially funded by the NCC, such as more upscale construction materials and streetscaping. Bicycle lanes will be added to the road.

“We’re taking in that feedback. It will be used,� Fleury said. An email the city sent to concerned residents said the feedback resulted in the councillor asking city staff to “abandon the removal of buses on Sussex Drive.� A separate email sent from Fleury’s office to a resident stated: “As a result, today staff informed the NCC that the STO bus lane will remain on Sussex Drive as is currently and that they will need to compromise their vision of Confederation Boulevard. Therefore, the Boteler Street proposal is no longer to be considered.�

In an interview, Fleury wouldn’t confirm that the Sussex bus lane would be kept, adding that people should “stay tuned� because the alternatives would be revealed and explained in the near future. Those alternatives will not include cancelling the roundabout, Fleury said. Although the roundabout, which carries a price tag of $1 million, is part of the solution for the STO problem created by the Sussex redesign, the roundabout has broader benefits, Fleury said. It’s part of a larger solution to get STO buses out of Lowertown streets, particularly Dalhousie and Cumberland streets, which is another route the buses cur-

EMC news - The Ontario government has recognized Montfort Hospital as the provincial leader in ensuring there is access to French language health services and announced it would be giving the French hospital official designation as an academic health centre. The Ontario government made the announcement at the east-end hospital on June 19. This designation will make Montfort the 17th teaching hospital in Ontario. The hospital said its current support to the University of Ottawa’s French language medical program is essential, as it’s French program is distinct and delivered separately from its English language medical program. The Montfort Hospital is the only hospital in the province who offers a full range of French language clinical education. Dr. Bernard Leduc, president and CEO of Montfort Hospital, said this official designation stands as concrete recognition for the hard work and dedication the hospital’s educators. “Our educators, who have devoted themselves to training the next generation of francophone and francophile health professionals throughout Ontario.� The Ontario government said it will work with Montfort to help further develop its academic health science centre, which will include

• Participating in the planning of French language services, such as clinical supports for patients and health professionals in communities across Ontario. • Supporting the government in meeting its obligations under the French Language Services Act. • Serving as a hub for French language health care professional education and research. Ottawa-Vanier MPP and Minister responsible for Francophone Affairs, Madeleine Meilleur was on hand when the announcement was made. “HĂ´pital Montfort is part of the solution for increasing access to health services in Ontario, especially to the Francophone community,â€? Meilleur said. “This official designation by the Ontario government is vital to ensuring the permanence of a medical teaching program available in French in the province. This new status is a clear signal to the Francophone community of the importance our government places on high quality French language services.â€? Meilleur actually started her career as a nurse at the hospital, as well as fought alongside other Vanier politicians and residents to keep the hospital from closure scheduled to happen in 1999. A rally and a petition organized in March 1997 helped keep the hospital from closing and in 2003 the new Liberal government announced a $250 million expansion to the hospital, doubling the once small operation’s size.

Father overworked, overtired this time of year

W

ould he topple over and fall out of the rocker? Would he hit the floor with a thud, maybe banging his head on the oven door? I was sitting at the kitchen table. I was alone. My sister Audrey said she had better things to do than waste time looking through the Eaton’s catalogue. The three brothers were doing what they did every night in the summer: they were outside throwing balls, using their sling shots or shooting off their B.B. guns. Mother was in the garden. It was just me and Father in the kitchen. The sun was still streaking through the west window and the kitchen had been redded up. Bedtime was just a couple hours away. I sat very quietly watching Father. He looked smaller, I thought. Maybe it was the way he was sleeping in the rocker. He didn’t hear his pipe fall to the floor and the Ottawa Farm Journal lay across his knees unopened. His chin was on his chest and I could see him breathing, his plaid shirt rising and falling gently.

MARY COOK Memories It had been a long day for Father. Chores were done before sun-up. The plow and other pieces of farm machinery had been moved on the stone boat to the back fields across the Bonnechere and over the West Hill weeks before. By the time Father was finished with the morning chores, got the milking done and eaten his breakfast, he would be ready to take the team across the shallowest part of the Bonnechere and head over to the back fields. He would have picked up the basket of lunch Mother had made the night before, and we wouldn’t see him again until it was time to come back home for the evening chores. And so I sat and watched Father and wondered if he would have enough strength left to even get out of his clothes and fall into bed. Dust of the fields still clung to

his face. He had taken off his work boots and his heavy wool socks were covered in soil and bits and pieces of grass. I knew if he rolled down the legs of his overalls, there would be more of the same trapped in the folds. I could see the edge of his combination underwear showing under his plaid shirt, and I wondered if I dared go and straighten up his head, so that he would be more comfortable. But of course that would wake him from his much needed sleep. I wondered why he didn’t go to bed right after his supper, as I sat and watched his worn out body curled uncomfortably in the old rocker. But then he wouldn’t be able to check on the barns, which he never failed to do before falling into bed. No, this was Father’s routine and nothing was going to change it this time of year. There were fields to plow and cultivate, and grain to plant. There was scant time to do it in, as Father tried to outsmart the weather. So from dawn to dusk, Father like every other farmer around us, was tied to the habits of the season.

Father wasn’t a big man. The three brothers were all taller by several inches. My brother Emerson towered over him. But Father was wiry and as straight as a die. But as I sat and watched him, I was scarcely breathing and making not a sound, so that I wouldn’t disturb his rest, I thought he looked so much older than he did before summer planting began. He was always so much more tired after supper this time of year. The heat of the day was heavy on him and even though it was summer, he still wore his plaid shirts with the long sleeves. But he did give up his felt hat with the ear lugs changing to his old battered straw hat, with the wide black headband, marred with the sweat off his brow. So I sat quietly, watching Father breathe, not a muscle stirring in either of us. And I was overcome with a deep sadness, as I looked at him in the rocking chair, his feet in their usual place on the turneddown oven door. I wondered, can someone die from overwork? What if one day he didn’t come home from the back fields? What would happen to us? The sun had gone down behind the grape arbour and the kitchen was darkening, but yet there was daylight and I was still alone at the

old pine table, Eaton’s catalogue unopened in front of me, and with my eyes never leaving Father. He would stay there until everyone came in from outside, banging doors and scraping their feet on the mat, tossing their bats and balls into the box beside the stove. Mother would stop a moment in front of Father and then she would do what she did every night this time of year: she would tap Father on the shoulder. She may have to do it several times to bring him out of his deep sleep. He would slowly raise his head and look around the kitchen as if he were lost. I would move myself away from the table and go over to the rocker and pick his pipe up off the floor and put the Ottawa Farm Journal on the bake table. Father would shuffle over to the bedroom door off the kitchen and he would turn to Everett and tell him to be sure to check the barns before he went to bed. Soon I would hear the creaking of the bed springs and if I listened closely from my spot at the kitchen table, I would hear a deep sigh, followed by soft snores as Father settled down his tired body for the night. It was just another day, no different than the one before, and no different than the one coming after.

Trout with fresh jerk sauce tantalizes the tastebuds EMC lifestyle - The delicate texture of farm raised-trout is enhanced by a light coating of cumin-scented cornmeal. As a contrast to its mild sweet taste, we’ve created a bold sauce from fresh Ontario vegetables. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 20 minutes. Serves four with 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) of sauce. INGREDIENTS

STEPH WILLEMS/METROLAND

Getting in character

Fresh Jerk Sauce • 4 green onions, sliced • 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped • Half a jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped • 1 sweet red pepper, cut into chunks • 3 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped • 15 ml (1 tbsp) packed brown sugar • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each dried thyme leaves, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and garlic salt

• 1 ml (1/4 tsp) cayenne pepper • Canola oil •125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped fresh coriander (optional) Trout • 2 rainbow trout fillets (375 g/12 oz each), skin removed • 175 ml (3/4 cup) cornmeal • 15 ml (1 tbsp) ground cumin • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt • 1 egg • 75 ml (1/3 cup) milk • 20 ml (4 tsp) butter PREPARATION

Fresh jerk sauce: Place the onions, garlic and jalapeno in a food processor. Whirl until the contents are coarsely ground. Add the sweet pepper and tomatoes with seeds and juice. Add sugar, thyme, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic salt and cayenne pepper. Pulse until the mixture is chunky and pepper is chopped, about 10 times. Don’t puree.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sauce and boil gently, uncovered and stirring often, until thickened – about 20 minutes. Stir in the coriander, if you are using it. Trout: Cut fish into serving-size pieces. In a shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, cumin and salt. In another dish, whisk egg with milk. One at a time, coat both sides of fish in egg mixture and then in cornmeal mixture. In large skillet, melt 15 ml (1 tbsp) of the butter, over medium heat. Add the coated fish and cook until golden, for about three to five minutes. Add remaining butter to side of pan. Turn fish, letting melted butter flow over pan before placing fish down and cook for about three to five minutes. Remove to plates. Spoon the jerk sauce on top and beside the fish. Foodland Ontario

ADVERTORIAL

With, Ottawa Valley LeafGuard you get MORE than a great gutter system you get expert installation and personal service from a local established company, who is going to be there during and after your installation. What’s Wrong with Clogged Cutters? Ordinary gutters capture rainwater and also collect leaves, twigs and other organic debris that can become clogged and create dams that impede the flow of water. These clogs cause water to spill over your gutter and pool on the ground below. This can result in damage to your shrubs; lead to surface erosion; and seep into your foundation causing cracks and basement flooding. Water can also spill behind the gutter causing damage to the wood of your fascia and soffit. If you have add-on toppers, helmets and hoods, that are attached to your roof and hang over your gutters, they are usually held in place by screws and nails hammered into your roof. Putting holes in your roof can cause leaks and may void your roof warrantees. Take the first step in making your home maintenance free

United Way to invest millions in community Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - The United Way Ottawa announced it will be investing more than $20 million dollars into the community this year. The United Way made the announcement that $24.5 million will be invested to programs, organizations and front-line services this year at the Michele Heights Community Centre on June 17. About half of the funding will go directly to three of the organization’s focused areas: “growing up great,” “belonging to community” and “turning lives around.” Jamie McCracken, chairman of the United Way board, attended the event, saying this funding announcement was only made possible because of the support from donors. “Today’s announcement shows that thanks to the generosity of our donors,” he said. “You can see how this work is changing lives today and contributing to the positive community improvements we want to see tomorrow.” The organization also released, for the first time, a report which details how donations made to the organization help contribute to change in the city at the announcement. The organization changed the way the way it allocates money raised from its annual campaign more than

two years ago, crafting priorities and funding criteria in order to appeal to donors. Jeffrey Dale, chairman of the United Way’s community services cabinet, said the new report points to the impact of donations have on the community’s future. “Donors want to know how their contributions are invested and how they are making a difference,” he said. In March, United Way announced that $30 million was raised for the community campaign. FUNDING BREAKDOWN

Of the $24 million to be handed out, $12.8 million will be directed towards front-line programs, community-wide initiatives, targeted community investment and research focused on United Way’s three focused areas. “Growing up great” will receive $2.9 million to support community development work, with 29 front-line programs delivered by 20 agencies receiving $2.2 million, the Ottawa Child and Youth Initiative and other community development strategies receiving $299,000 and the targeted community investment receiving $$383,000. “Belonging to community” will receive $3.9 million, with $2.6 million being given to 32 agencies that run 45 different programs in the city and

SUBMITTED

The United Way Ottawa announced it will be handing out more than $20 million in funding for community programs, initiatives and social services this year at an event on June 17. $1.3 million will be divided to two community-wide initiatives, Hire Immigrants Ottawa and the Employment Accessibility Resource Network. “Turning lives around” will receive $4 million, with $3.3 million of the funding going to 27 agencies who run 31 programs in the city. The remaining $302,000 will be given to other community development strategies and $340,000 will be handed out in grants and targeted community in-

vestment funding. United Way’s priority goal to strengthen the capacity of social services sector in Ottawa will receive $687,000 with $599,000 of this funding will be handed out to five agencies’ five programs. The remaining $88,000 will go towards community development strategies. The United Way will use $1.3 million for work related to research, evaluation and management of the

investment in priority goal partners’ programs and services that support the achievement of priority goals. At the request of donors, $11.7 million will be handed out to more than 4,200 other registered Canadian charities.

Singer, cancer survivor promote country song Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - A song written by an OrlÊans singer has quickly spread among parents of sick children in the oncology unit at CHEO as a message of hope. Inspired by Dennis Gudbranson’s fight against cancer as a child, Angela Marie wrote a song titled Give Him Love, which she said has been shared throughout the hospital and at events like the Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life. Dennis, now 16, plays hockey in Blackburn and just finished Grade 10 at Louis Riel high school. He’s been in remission since age eight, and cancer free since age 12. When he was six years old, he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, the most common form of leukemia in adults, and began chemotherapy. He relapsed shortly after finishing his chemotherapy and his family began the hunt to find a bone marrow donor. It was a case of impeccable timing: just weeks before, a woman from Newfoundland registered with One Match, a national bone marrow donor registry. She was a match for Dennis, and he had the bone marrow transplant that saved his life. The Gudbranson family are OrlÊ-

ans residents well known in the hockey world –oldest brother Erik plays in the NHL for the Florida Panthers, and brother Alex plays in the OHL for the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. They became advocates for the One Match program, and promote the cause at hockey games and other events. Dennis and his family speak and promote events that benefit the cause, especially ones that encourage potential donors to have the inside of their mouth swabbed to join the register. When Marie, 24, a St. Matthew High School and University of Ottawa graduate, heard about Dennis’ story, it stuck with her. She got the idea for the song in the middle of the night this past winter, and stayed up all night writing it. Then she had to talk the Gudbransons to see how they felt about her penning the lyrics to Dennis’ story. “I was nervous because I didn’t want it to come across like I knew what it felt like. It’s not my story,� she said. Dennis’s brother encouraged Marie to record the song, which Dennis himself found out about at the end of May. “It was pretty intense,� he said of his first time hearing the song. “It’s a really accurate description of what we were going through.� The lyrics of the song talk about

the support that Dennis received from his family, with his three siblings and parents constantly at the hospital, and that the family received from the community. “It’s circled around the family and how I felt – so it was kind of like my wishes of what I would want (if I was in the same situation),â€? Marie said. “It’s really just meant to help people get through a tough time.â€? She’s already performed the song at the OrlĂŠans Relay for Life event, and CHEO and Canadian Blood Services have expressed interest in using the song as well. Marie said the nurses on the oncology floor have been sharing the song with parents of children who are currently undergoing cancer treatments. Dennis still goes back to CHEO once a year to make sure he’s cancer free, but has his goals set on graduating high school and eventually getting a hockey scholarship to play college hockey in the United States. Marie plans to use the song, which was recorded in Vancouver with help from a children’s choir, on her upcoming EP, and eventually on a full CD. For more information on upcoming performances or to watch the video for Give Him Love, and an interview with Dennis and Erik Gudbranson, visit www.angelamarieofficial.com.

McGuinty resigns as MPP Lauded by brother as leader who did his best Sabine Gibbins Sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

EMC news - Dalton McGuinty resigned on June 12 as MPP for Ottawa South. The former premier, who announced his resignation as Liberal leader in February had been the subject of scrutiny from the opposition due to his absence in the legislature. However, when he stepped down as premier, he maintained he would stay on as MPP for Ottawa South until the next election. “I leave politics with my idealism

intact and a deep sense of gratitude for the opportunity to have served in public life,” he said in a statement. The past week had been a challenging one for the former politician, who was elected leader of the Ontario Liberal Party in 1996, before taking over the reins as premier in 2003. His office was also flooded with questions after it was discovered emails his political staffers had received were erased, according to media reports. The emails could have contained more information on the cancel-

lations of the two gas-fired power plants, states media reports. MP David McGuinty has nothing but praise and admiration for his brother. “My reaction was one of gratitude and a sense of pride,” he said upon hearing news of his brother stepping down as MPP. “Overall, he’s a great guy, a very good person in many respects, responsible and hard-working.” David said his brother leaves the legislature with a huge portfolio under his belt, and many projects he helped bring to fruition, including the renaming of Highway 416 to the Veterans’ Memorial Highway and the establishment of the Terry Fox Athletic Facility. When asked where McGuinty found his drive in politics, David said it was due to his character and persona, as well as the ethics and values instilled in him. “He was always trying to do his best and trying to improve through positive contributions,” he said. “That’s what kept him going for many years.” His ultimate decision to leave was a difficult one, said David. “He wants to make sure folks here are served well… His public life can be a very difficult life. It was a difficult job. You never please anybody. But he always did the right thing. When he made a mistake, he would own up to it and learn from it. It takes big shoulders.” “I have enormous pride for him,

He can take comfort in knowing he did the best he could.” His successor, Premier Kathleen Wynne, praised McGuinty for his years in office. “Unbowed by the challenges of his office, he always had a family anecdote, a historical reference and a charming turn-of-phrase to put things in perspective,” Wynne said in a statement. “Earlier this year, he wrote me a letter encouraging my commitment to conversations in which he quoted the Greek statesman, Pericles, who described continued discussion as an ‘indispensable preliminary to any

wise action at all.’ I have always valued Dalton’s counsel and look forward to our continued discussions as I endeavour to build on his many wise actions.” Liberal supporter and South resident Clarence Montigny said he was disappointed to see McGuinty leave politics. “It’s too bad,” he said. “I thought he would have more guts, in a way, to take the heat, but he probably did the right thing when it comes down to it. He’s done a lot of good things in our community, and whenever I’ve met him, he was always a nice guy – a real family guy. Makes me proud to be a Liberal.”

We’re just a week away from what is—traditionally, at least— our busiest day of the year at the Ottawa Humane Society: Canada Day. Why Canada Day? There are a few reasons: First, Canada Day is a very busy day helping dogs brought into our care. This is mainly because of the many fireworks displays on July 1st: the big one on Parliament Hill, and the many smaller ones throughout the City. The thing is, most dogs are terrified of fireworks. Even the best trained, never-wanders dog can bolt in fear during fireworks displays and end up at our shelter. Second, late-June, early-July is our peak season for animals surrendered to us by their owner. As holidays approach, and vacation plans develop, sadly, many decide that their dog or cat doesn’t fit with those plans. The result? Hundreds surrendered to the OHS each June and July. When added to an already busy time with many stray animals requiring our care, we can see as many as 40 dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens admitted to our shelter every

Nova was brought to the OHS as a stray on June 8,and is

Birds love to play and explore. Ladders, ropes, swings and mirrors can all provide great entertainment! Cockatiels enjoy being misted in order to keep clean and will need to have their nails routinely trimmed. Occasional beak filing may be required and should be performed only by a qualified veterinarian. Consult your veterinarian about your bird’s grooming needs.

next couple of years. “They are not on track to reducing the debt and the deficit,” MacLeod said. “This year it’s at $9 billion and set to be $12 billion next year.” She added increases to HST and energy rates are making it tough to make ends meet in Ontario. Chiarelli said prior to the Liberal government taking over in 2003, there were blackouts and brownouts. “The system just wasn’t working,” he said. Investments in clean energy and infrastructure have driven costs up, but it will pay in the long run,” Chiarelli said. “One of our priorities is to mitigate increases to rate because of inflation,” Chiarelli said. But MacLeod said Ontarians want a solution now. “He’s talking about something that happened a decade ago,” she said, adding residents are more concerned the waste due to the gas plant scandal and the Green Energy Act. “No one is writing to me saying they wished I had voted in favour of the budget,” MacLeod said. “They want to see the government defeated.”

Ontario Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli speaks at a budget announcement in Ottawa in early May. Chiarelli’s opponents don’t agree that the recently-passed budget will help to reduce the province’s defecit.

EMC news - Bob Chiarelli, the MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean and provincial Minister of Energy, says the province is on track to get rid of the deficit by 2017-18. He also said the budget works on job creation with its entrepreneurial grants and a reduction in the Ontario Disability Support Program clawback. “Now people can retain $2,400 a year,” Chiarelli said of the support payments. Chiarelli said increasing the rate of pay for the province’s public sector workers by halfa-per-cent was designed to help the government maintain their financial targets. “The federal government worker increase is two per cent and the private sector is at one per cent,” he said. Lower wage increases to the public sector, no new taxes, and a $260 million investment in home and community

healthcare, aimed at keeping seniors at home are going to be important to the residents of Ottawa West-Nepean, Chiarelli said, adding the government needed to work with the other political parties to reach these goals. “The Wynne government worked really hard at collaboration, which is key with a minority government,” Chiarelli said. “Residents are not interested in another election.” Chiarelli called out the Progressive Conservatives, specifically Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod and party leader Tim Hudak for being unwilling to play ball. “The conservatives – especially Tim Hudak and Lisa MacLeod – weren’t even interested in reading the budget, they just wanted to force another election,” Chiarelli said. MacLeod said NDP support of the budget amounted to collusion, and she couldn’t in good faith support the government while they were embroiled in
