EMC news - Despite needing to consult an engineer before moving a stack of books, the structure of the Main Library branch is sound. The news came as a surprise to most of the members of the library board, some of whom have been pushing to build a new central library branch. A lengthy and long-awaited building condition audit and structural assessment of the 120 Metcalfe St. facility reveals that pumping $6.3 million into the facility would give the library 10 more years of life. “I was surprised when I saw that report,” said Coun. Jan Harder, chairwoman of the Ottawa Public Library board. “It’s telling me that this place is in rough shape, it’s not pretty, but it’s not going to fall down on you,” Harder said. The library board received the report on Sept. 10 and will discuss it in full in November. There was a push in the last decade to find a new location to construct a library to replace the Metcalfe branch, which opened in 1974. There was a general sense that the three-storey, 8,175-squaremetre library was too small to serve the downtown population, and moreover, that the aging, Brutalist-style building – an example of a heavy, plain style of architecture – was not fitting of a grand public facility such as a central library. Concerns grew when the third-floor wall separated from the floor in 2007, which led to the ongoing need to consult engineers before moving anything heavy – such as stacks of books – around the branch. While the report indicates that consulting an engineer is a good idea, it also says the “bones” of the building are in good condition and no major structural upgrades will be needed in the next 10 years.

Road widening threatens heritage homes Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - Some residents in Lowertown do not want to choose between saving heritage homes and making room for bicycle lanes. Owned by the National Capital Commission, homes at 277, 275, 279 and 273 Sussex Dr. are scheduled to be demolished to make way for a construction project which includes widening of the road and adding cycling lanes.

Mathieu Fleury, who because of a prior commitment did not make it to the Monday evening meeting, has not sided with the community on the issue. In an earlier Ottawa East EMC interview with the councillor, Fleury stated he is waiting for an official decision from Ottawa built heritage advisory committee on the value of the buildings on Sussex Drive.
ing approval for demolition control at the Ottawa built heritage advisory committee on Sept. 20. Lowertown residents, including heritage and development committee chairwoman Nancy Miller Chenier, came out to the Lowertown Community Association on Sept. 10 to seek support and information from their city councillor on the topic. “Those houses are in a designated heritage district, with history and Lowertown stories attached to them,” said Miller Chenier. “We would like the
“There are categories that define every house,” Fleury said. “My simple understanding about those houses is that, yes, they are in the district, but they are category three. Category three is something (where) they are part of the district, in of itself, but they are not heritage piece.” Fleury does not call himself a heritage expert saying he puts his trust in city heritage staff to state the value of the homes.

EMC news – Overbrook artist Rosalie Favell has been honoured with the 2012 Karsh Award for her works representing indigenous society.

EMC news - The Vanier Community Association is looking to advocate for more safe cycling routes in the community this year. The community association announced its list of priorities during its first meeting of the year, which was held at the Richelieu-Vanier Centre Community Centre on Sept. 11. Those priorities include a renewal of Montreal Road, the possible introduction of an offleash dog park and building the group’s membership and strengthening its committees. The new president of the association, Mike Bulthuis, said the executive board held a meet-
ing over the summer to identify the 10 priorities the association will focus on this year. “These are 10 things we can strengthen and build on,” Bulthuis said. And as part of a new initiative by the city, a neighbourhood forum is also scheduled to take place on Nov. 3. “This will be a great way to bring forward our priorities,” Bulthuis said. “I think it will be an interesting as building it as a resident forum.” Only five years old, last year the association established focused committees for the first time; sustainable development, health and safety, parks and recreation, communications and membership. A subcommittee was
formed over the summer to look at the association’s bylaws and constitution. More than 25 people came out to the Tuesday-evening meeting, with many of the residents signing up on the spot for different committees. New health and safety chairman Dave Bateman said when it comes to this committee, its strength will be in the numbers. “We need to get a solid group of volunteers to create better communication,” he said. The association will fill a vacancy on its board of directors in October, Bulthuis said. The health and safety committee will hold its first meeting in the Vanier Room at the Vanier Community Service Centre, 299 Dupuis St., on Sept. 26 starting at 8 p.m. The association’s other committees have not named which day or time they will meet and have advised interested residents to email vca. acv@gmail.com.

EMC news - A new exhibition from the Council for the Arts in Ottawa offered four young girls the chance of a lifetime. The council is presenting “A Gallery of Portraits,” a photography exhibit showcasing the work of four teens at the Arts Court in downtown Ottawa until Oct. 14. The project is the brain child of Julie Hodgson, a former senior projects manager at the National Gallery of Canada. When the Council for the Arts asked her to curate a show, Hodgson decided to make it something geared towards youth participation. The retired curator took four girls ages 14 to 17 under her wing for a year and created a program where the young photographers worked with Hodgson and veteran photographers from the University of Ottawa and the School of Photographic Arts in Ottawa to learn about photographic techniques, how to work with different subjects, printing and matting. “My dream is to be a National Geographic photographer,” said 17 year-old artist Freya Poirer. Poirer and her classmates, Emma Rath, Maya Wilson and Rawaa Ayoub formed the small group who participated in the pilot project. Hodgson, who is a photography lover, jumped at the chance to use images as the

Freya Poirer’s work, including this portrait is on display at her first photography exhibit, A Gallery of Portraits at the Arts Courts at 2 Daly Ave. The show runs until Oct. 14. Poirer and the other three artists will be available to speak to on Sept. 28 from 2 to 3 p.m. medium for the exhibition. “I love photographs, I loved portraits and loved working with young people,” Hodgson said. In the beginning, Hodgson said she had hoped to work with at least 12 students, but after speaking with professors and teachers with a back-
ground in photography, she decided four would make it easier to work one-on-one with them. Hodgson asked various youth organizations across the city to choose the students – she was open to both male and female candidates – who would participate.
Once her four students were chosen, Hodgson started the program. The girls first spent time with Michael Schreier, a professional photographer and former director of visual arts and photography at the University of Ottawa, who taught the girls an overview of photography and portraiture and also led two in-depth critiques of their work. Hodgson then approached Michael Tardiol, the director of the School of Photographic Arts in Ottawa, to give a session on printing. Tardioli and his staff held a one-day workshop in Photoshop and allowed the artists to print their images. The girls also learned how to cut mats and were loaned frames from the school to frame their art for the exhibition. Poirer said this was an amazing project to take part in. “This was a huge opportunity for me,” Poirer said. “It definitely helped me expand my skills.” Poirer credited both the classes with Schreier and Tardioli to her new-found skill sets. “I learned so much and I am really grateful for the time everyone dedicated to us,” Poirer said. “Michael (Schreier) has really taught me how to take a meaningful photograph.” All the girls grew up before her eyes, Hodgson said. “When we started they were all shy and reserved,” Hodgson said. “But then, when I was reading their artist’s state-

Wabano youth learn how to build birch bark canoes After-school program teaches youth about culture Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

For the past two months, youth and adults from the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health constructed two canoes as part of a new summer program, the Birch Bark Canoe Project. Some of the builders show off one of the two canoes built at the centre. From left are Conrad Morin, Rob Friedman, Victoria Caldwell, Christine Head, James Hawke and traditional teacher and canoe builder Pinock. the past 25 years. “I think it is important for the youth to see how it is made,� said Pinock, who does not use his surname. “They were designed by our ancestors and it is a part of our culture and a part of who we are.� The elder brought all the materials to build the canoe, which did not include any
nails or glue. Instead, the pine and birch is soaked in water to make it pliable, the wood was split using only a knife and the birch bark attached with the use of pine tree roots. “Pinock has done a lot of the work,� said Rob Friedman, one of the adult helpers. “There is a ritual to take the wood – he blessed the tree and the roots and only took what
he needed.� Initially, Head said, the group was to build one full size canoe, but opted to make two smaller canoes instead. From building the exterior birch bark form to placing the ribs in the interior, Pinock made sure each of the youth participated in the construction. “I like showing people how
to do it, showing them everything about the construction,� Pinock said.

EMC news - Youth at the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health have successfully completed building one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest forms of transportation. The Birch Bark Canoe Project began over the summer months through the I am Connected Program at the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health. Over the two months, youth learned all about the history of the canoe, from paddling to building and began the construction of two canoes at the end of August. Program manager Christine Head found the project incredibly informative for both the youth and adults who came to help with the construction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been really interesting,â&#x20AC;? Head said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the kids are really learning a lot.â&#x20AC;? The group has learned the basics of canoe construction from a traditional teacher, Pinock, who has been constructing canoes, big and small, for
bark baskets as well. Capable of holding a small child, both canoes will be placed in the water at the end of this month. Head said one of the canoes will more than likely be placed on display at the end of the project. The I am Connected program reaches out to aboriginal youth between the ages of 10 to 24 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an age the centre has noticed a drop in the numbers of children walking through their doors. This program is only one way the Wabano centre reaches out to youth. A Youth Council was formed in 2011 as a way to give a voice to aboriginal children in the community. Funded by Health Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, I am Connected uses art, mentoring, urban planning, life-skills training, and photography to engage youth, offering them the opportunity to get connected with various people and organizations in Vanier and greater Ottawa area. The work is geared towards a goal of creating a safe and healthy community. The group meets Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Keep Terry Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream alive
I
f you look up the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;hopeâ&#x20AC;? in the dictionary, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably find a photograph of Terry Fox. Or at least you should. Terry Fox was only 18 years old when he was diagnosed with bone cancer and had his leg amputated above the knee â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an age when most of us are starting our lives: going to university, beginning a career, falling in love for the first time. He died at the age of 22.
In those four short years, Fox managed to inspire generations of Canadian citizens. He made us learn to hope in the face of an awful disease that has touched all our lives. He taught us to fight back no matter what the odds. When Fox learned he had cancer he decided to run a Marathon of Hope across Canada. His goal was to raise enough money to discover a cure for cancer. Starting in April 1980, Fox
started his run by dipping his artificial leg in the Atlantic Ocean in St Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, NL. He ran 42 kilometres a day, the equivalent of a full marathon. On Sept. 1, 1980, after running for 143 days and 5,373 kilometres, Terry was forced to stop his Marathon of Hope outside of Thunder Bay, Ont.. The cancer had spread to his lungs. On June 28, 1981, Fox died. But his memory lives on in
the hearts and minds of generations of Canadians, who continue his battle every year by holding Terry Fox Runs across the country. The runs have raised hundreds of millions of dollars and funded numerous advancements in cancer research, saving countless lives. But a cure is yet to be found. This year, Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Fred Fox, visited the campus of Carleton University, urging the
students to keep Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream alive. Carleton is one of eight Canadian universities to join Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College and University Student Engagement (CAUSE). The colleges and universities have committed to holding a major campus event that includes runs and other fundraisers with all proceeds going to the Terry Fox Foundation. Most communities across Canada planned to hold their annual runs on Sunday, Sept. 16, including an Ottawa run at Carleton University. Kanata and Stittsville were scheduled to hold their annual

You too can be a Waste Explorer street on garbage night and notice that some people are putting out no garbage cans at all. None. Everything they need to throw out is on one of the recycling containers, black, blue and green. We salute them, although we do wonder what they do with all that plastic packaging. Maybe they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy anything wrapped in plastic. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge. Is it possible that we have been so well-educated in the philosophy of recycling that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to put anything at all in the garbage can? Have we bought in so completely to the recycling message that we have made garbage obsolete? If so, it may be because recycling has been made so easy for us. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to buy the recycling boxes; they are delivered to our doors. Filling them is no problem, nor is sorting them. Neither effort nor thought is required. It is too bad that no one one has thought of ways to make it easy for us to be as virtuous in other areas. We could use some help cleaning up after our pets, giving more support to charities and merging from three lanes into two on the Queensway. Meanwhile, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whether to be comforted or not by the notion that it all has to go somewhere. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website page on recycling provides something called a Waste Explorer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe not the most attractive concept when you think about it, but a handy way to tackle those difficult which-box-is-which questions. For example, the Waste Explorer will tell you that alfalfa sprouts go in the green bin, that artificial plants go in the regular garbage, as do bicycle tires, as do rubber wine corks; wooden orange crates go in the regular garbage, but wood chips go in the green bin; some items, such as beer kegs are identified as having â&#x20AC;&#x153;multiple optionsâ&#x20AC;? but when you click on that you are told that multiple options means take them back to the beer store. A few paragraphs ago we thought that recycling was simple. Now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not so sure. At least we only have to think about the garbage every other week, when we put out our wooden orange crates.

f you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t automatically throw out everything that shows up in your mailbox, you will have seen the document that announces a major change in your life. As of the end of next month your garbage is only going to be picked up every two weeks. Although there was considerable debate about this at city hall, the circular in your mailbox reflects that hardly at all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Important changes are coming,â&#x20AC;? it begins, but all it contains by way of explanation is a cryptic little note at the bottom: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Think about it â&#x20AC;Ś,â&#x20AC;? it says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all has to go somewhere.â&#x20AC;? This is true, probably, as is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all has to go sometime,â&#x20AC;? which is the issue at hand. So what are we to make of it, the fact that we go from garbage pickup every week to garbage pickup every other? The most dramatic interpretation is that Ottawa has become a Third World city. In many parts of the world, garbage pickup every week can only be dreamed about, the key to improved sanitation and public health. Yet here is Ottawa, going the other way. To support this interpretation we can look at many other areas in which Canada, through the culture of cutback, has descended from previous heights. If, on the other hand, you are the kind of person who sees the glass as half full, you will have a completely different take. Less frequent garbage pickup means that garbage needs to be picked up less frequently, which means that there is less of it. This encouraging theory might be difficult to prove empirically, but the anecdotal evidence is there. You know it when you look down your

Why men don’t breastfeed
M
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse busy, industrious career women – who consider this folly. “Of course you can breastfeed and work hard at your job,” they say, which only makes me feel inferior. If you’re a woman in a salaried job on maternity leave with a top-up and haven’t had any difficulties getting breastfeeding established into a routine, that may be true. I’m not saying you’re not working your butt off on the home front, but you’re also not putting on suits to attend meetings, doing conference calls, writing about things on very little sleep, managing outsourced work, marketing a business and trying to pump milk every three hours around the clock. These are all things I began doing when my baby was five days old. And they are all things that, in my opinion, cannot be done in two-hour snippets. Two-hour snippets? Now she’s exaggerating, you’re thinking. After all, babies only feed six, maybe eight, times in 24 hours.
Okay, well, let’s say it’s eight. Let’s just say I take a pause out of my work day every three hours to feed the baby. But then, let’s say the baby takes 45 minutes to feed. In between suckling, she needs to be burped, changed and rocked. That takes another 20 minutes or so. And then there’s the pumping. That leaves just over an hour from the end of one feed to the beginning of the next. And frankly, that’s not enough time for any woman to run a full-time business. And if I have to wake up every 90 minutes at night, I’m a walking zombie, which isn’t going to make me very marketable to my clients. People have built up this unrealistic notion that we should all be able to succeed as career women while at the same time returning to traditional mothering concepts – you know, breastfeeding, using cloth diapers, making homemade baby food and dedicating every waking (and non-waking) hour to baby. Somehow, people – with a

y husband is on parental leave. With me working full-time, an infant, and two boys to look after, he spends days making food, doing dishes and folding laundry. And when he’s not doing that, and even when he is, he can be found rocking the baby. He’s finding it a little frustrating, especially because he has a list of “pat leave reno projects” he’d like to be doing instead. “I cannot use power tools; I cannot use chemicals; I cannot lift heavy things,” he moaned to me the other day. I was on coffee break between conference calls and he had the baby in a front-carrier. “I’ve got some digging to do in the garden. How do you do that with a baby attached to you? I managed to do laundry and hang stuff on the clothesline, but other than that I’ve done nothing. I cannot go all day/all week like this. I’m not getting anything done and it’s already Wednesday. I keep getting interrupted.” It’s a lament familiar to many similarly industrious women. And it got me thinking about women, like me, who are finding mothering – particularly breastfeeding – isn’t conducive to my modern, fast-paced life as a career woman. I have many friends – also
straight face – tout this as a return to a golden age of mothering. But frankly, at no point in history have women done all of the above. For one thing, children in the past would be left to cry in their cribs, while mother attended to her duties. For another, depending on her “class,” a woman would very likely have had at least one servant or a live-in female relative to assist her in the home. Some may have even had wet nurses, as was common – albeit dangerous – practice in France for many decades. And women certainly wouldn’t have done these things while holding down a job outside the home. As for the argument about women delivering babies in rice fields and continuing with their work immediately: irrelevant. My point is this. We’re trying to do it all. We’re trying to exist in a “man’s world” and at the same time do all the things that “traditional” mothers have mythically done. But frankly, this is bunk. If we’re privileged enough, we get to pick and choose what gets outsourced to make it all work. For a woman who works full-time – by choice or by necessity—an activity that takes eight hours a day, like nursing an infant, just may not fit into her busy schedule. Frankly, there’s a reason men don’t breastfeed. And it has nothing to do with lactation.

Activities group needs members Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news – The Community Activities Group in Old Ottawa East is looking for enthusiastic residents to join its board of directors this fall. The Old Ottawa East group organizes everything from summer barbecues to sports, exercise classes and after-school activities. Claire Farid, chairwoman of the board of directors, is inviting anyone in the community interested in participating with the group a chance to sit on the board. “Homemade cookies, the occasional glass of wine with friends and neighbors, lots of laughter and the satisfaction of contributing to my com-
munity – in a nutshell that describes my experience as a member of the board of the Community Activities Group (CAG),” Farid said. “CAG is looking for new board members; it’s a great way to get involved and you may just have fun doing it.” Farid joined the board four years ago because she wanted to give back to her community and help improve programming for children and adults in the community. The board of directors help provide governance and oversight and works with the group’s executive director, Carol Workun, on topics such as strategic planning. When it comes to finding new members, the board is interested in finding parents
and residents who have experience to offer. “We are interested in people with various skill sets. The most important attribute we are looking for is a desire to contribute to our community,” she said. The board also has a treasurer and secretary and committees include communications, volunteer recruitment and fundraising. Board members must fill a two-year term. Board meetings are held seven times a year and begin at 7 p.m. at the fieldhouse in Brantwood Park. For more information about a particular board meeting, Farid encourages residents to contact her at board@ottawaeastcag.ca.
VINCENT COLIZZA/SUBMITTED
Architect Vincent Colizza’s vision for 32- and 29-storey towers on Albert Street at Bayview Station got the planning committee’s approval at city hall on Sept. 11.
Bayview towers get planning committee’s OK Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - City council is set to define future of lands south of the Bayview Transitway station as 32- and 29-storeys. The exact design of buildings at the Albert Street site might change, but with the advent of light rail, the site will be primed to employ 6,000 people and provide new pedestrian and cycling links across a bridge to the Tom Brown Arena in Hintonburg. If city council approves the recommended rezoning on Sept. 26, it will pave the way for the property owner to construct two towers linked by a low-rise section, with two pedestrian accesses through the building to allow people to traverse the structure from the north and south. Pedestrian access and traffic was a major concern during the discussion at planning committee on Sept. 11. Eric Darwin of the Dalhousie Community Association was concerned that widening Albert Street to accommodate a turning lane for cars was a priority over widening sidewalks to account for the 5,400 or so people who would arrive by transit and on foot each day (there will be underground
parking for around 275 cars). “Why do motorists get improvements as part of the plan but pedestrians only get them as part of Section 37?” Darwin asked, referring to the section of the Planning Act that allows the city to collect community benefit payments to improve the neighbourhood in exchange for more dense zoning. While Darwin was concerned that Albert Street’s existing narrow sidewalks would not be widened to accommodate thousands of new pedestrians, a representative of the developer, DCR Phoenix, said the 801 Albert St. site will have a network of pathways to provide pedestrians with a few walkway options. Michelle Perry, a resident of the neighbourhood directly east of 801 Albert, Village Green, said people in her community are alarmed that the plan calls for the road to be widened to six lanes so as to include turning lanes, even though the site is supposed to rely more on public transit than private vehicles for transportation. Another concern expressed was how the major development could integrate with another possible redevelopment of the City Centre site to the south. Paul Webber, a lawyer
representing that property’s owner, said his client had tried to engage DCR Phoenix in a conversation about aligning pedestrian paths and other elements of the two sites as they are redeveloped, but that conversation hasn’t happened yet. “There is much to like about it, but there is much to fear about it,” Webber said, adding that his client, Equity, was concerned about how the 190-metre long mass of buildings would isolate properties south of 801 Albert from the Transitway station. There will be two pedestrian accesses through the building, architect Vincent Colizza confirmed, and the city is working to hash out a legal agreement to ensure public access through those walkways for 18 hours each day as part of the Section 37 community benefit. A portion of the half-million dollar Section 37 contribution will also go towards constructing a pedestrian and cycling bridge across the OTrain tracks to the Tom Brown Arena in Hintonburg. While the developer requested that the matter be sent to council a day after planning committee met, on Sept. 12, the committee didn’t like that idea. It will be voted on by city council on Sept. 26.

Fifteen advisory groups slashed to five laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - City council has approved slashing the number of citizen advisory groups at city hall from 15 to five. The move also shifted The Ottawa Built Heritage Advisory Committee (OBHAC) from an advisory group to a subcommittee of planning committee mostly comprised of councillors, and a seniors’ group will become an annual round table event instead. The changes are aimed at saving $190,000 annually. When the matter was discussed by a joint finance and governance committee on Aug, 30, Glebe resident Bob Brocklebank likened the restructuring to a “mer-
cy killing.” The city has allowed the advisory committees to wither and become irrelevant, and killing them is the final stage, Brocklebank said. “Put advisory committees out of their misery,” he said. Creating a heritage subcommittee that includes more city councillors than citizen experts is a move that has come under fire from heritage advocates. The deputy city clerk, Lesley Donnelly, says the city has had continuous issues recruiting good members for the built heritage advisory committee, so lowering the number of members and elevating it to a subcommittee should help attract the kind of candidates the city is looking for, Donnelly told councillors.
Capital Coun. David Chernushenko wasn’t convinced. “My sense is that we’ve done a little bit too much streamlining and it’s gone too far. Heritage… is one area in particular that’s gone too far,” he said during the Sept. 12 council meeting. Donnelly said council members who sit on that committee will become “heritage advocates” for heritage issues when they come to committee and city council. The heritage subcommittee will include councillors Peter Clark (whose Rideau-Rockcliffe Ward includes two heritage conservation districts), Katherine Hobbs, (a member of the planning committee and councillor for Kitchissippi Ward), Scott Moffatt (the rural representative, from
Rideau-Goulbourn Ward) and planning committee vice chairwoman Jan Harder (Barrhaven) in addition to three members of the public. Many things have changed since the city amalgamated in 2001, when the advisory committees were established, a city report states. Access to technology and the availability of social media tools are changing how residents interact with the city and politicians, and other engagement strategies such as summits and departmental working groups have proven more successful, according to a report from the city clerk’s office. A broader report about citizen engagement is expected be discussed by city committees in December.
Lowertown wants to save valued homes Continued from page 1
A category three building is a structure located in a heritage district that would not merit individual heritage designation, according to the cultural heritage impact statement, which will be presented at the advisory committee meeting. The report also points out the guidelines in the Lowertown West Heritage Conservation District Plan. “Structures deemed not to have heritage significance may be considered for demolition, if an appropriate replacement structure is proposed,” states the plan. Furthermore, the councillor said the main reason for the road widening is to add bicycle lanes to the road. “Both the community, the NCC and the city all agree there is a need to place cycling lanes and wider sidewalks on the street,” Fleury said. Some residents do not find it that simple and do not necessarily believe the widening is to benefit pedestrians and cyclists first and foremost. “We are accommodating the car first. If the road is busy,
pedestrians and cyclists will feel less comfortable to use the busy street,” said Lowertown resident Sylvie Grenier. Liz Bernstein, vice-president of the Lowertown Community Association, agreed. “It is a false dichotomy that we have to choose between heritage and cyclists,” Bernstein said. When the Ottawa East EMC reported about the proposed demolition in April, city infrastructure services manager for the east, Ziad Ghadban, said the project would not be able to go ahead as designed without the demolition of these buildings. Ghadban said the city needs to correct the curve and alignment of Sussex Drive between the Royal Canadian Mint and Boteler Street to allow for 1.5-kilometres of safe cycling lanes in both directions. “The dedicated cycling lanes would not be possible without the realignment,” he said. The association has requested for the homes to be either moved further back from the road or relocated to another property within the heritage district to meet the
needs of both the road-widening project and the conservation of the district. Fleury said the options of moving the houses or looking at other options was up to the owners of the homes. “From my perspective, the angle of keeping the houses, moving those buildings, and looking at the options needed to be addressed at their board (the NCC board),” Fleury said. The councillor said he has to trust in the expertise of the city’s heritage staff. “Unless there is something that is way off the mark here, but I have to trust that our heritage staff are able to provide good advice or submit a report about those houses.

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

cifically for stations at Train, St. Laurent and Cyrville, but those plans will be transferable to other areas that will be ripe for development when LRT arrives. Deputy city manager Nancy Schepers said the exercise will set the stage for Ottawa’s future. “This will look at how the LRT will influence how our economy grows,” she said. Beyond the economic impact, light rail has huge citybuilding potential, Schepers said. “It can reshape and revitalize existing neighbourhoods and create complete communities,” she said. “We are keenly aware of the community-building aspects of LRT.” IBM provided a team of its executives to conduct interviews and do research as they create a marketing plan over their three-week project. “The city is reaching a tipping point where this info is going to become more critical to the city’s future,” said Norm Chatelier, a spokesperson for the team. The other members of the team include: • Kate Chess, “a worldwide solutions executive” with IBM who oversees international business and infrastructure sales.
• Hamid Khafagy, who oversees the government sector for the development of IBM’s complex technical solutions in Dubai. • Louise Plourde, a business IT executive with IBM Canada. • Michael Stevens, senior marketing manager in IBM’s software group/ His work concentrates on using information analytics to create smarter governments. • Leslie Thomas, an expert in solving large and complex organizational and performance issues. • Zena Washington, a global marketing manager with IBM Social Solutions. She is in charge of social business messaging and marketing strategy for governments and the education industry. Their advice would be worth about $400,000 but the city will get it for free. The experts sent by IBM will crunch numbers and engage stakeholders to see if the city is on the right track when it comes to creating market interest in developing the transit hubs. The study could recommend whether public investment is required to meet the needs of the current – and future – population of the city. This year’s IBM Smarter Cities Challenge was announced on March 15 and Ottawa is one of two Canadian cities that were selected. Ottawa and Surrey, B.C., are the two Canadian cities among the 100 worldwide selected for the 2012 Smarter Cities Challenge.

Pedestrian square construction started for William Street
Addition on north half of lower section is a possibility: report Continued from page 1
Staff
EMC news - Construction on the William Street pedestrian area has begun. Although city council approved the creation of a pedestrian-only space on William Street north of York Street in the ByWard Market last fall, the local merchantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association wanted to wait until the tourism season calmed down before digging up the area. While there have been temporary barricades to block off trafďŹ c and benches and seating provided in the area, a more attractive, permanent upgrade
to the space is on its way. The work will include widening the sidewalks on William Street and creating boulevards on York Street and concrete crosswalks to make it easier to cross from the pedestrian area to the ByWard Market building. The boulevards on Clarence Street at William Street will also be widened. New lighting, trees, planters and benches will be added to the area. The work was set to begin on Sept. 17 and is scheduled to take eight weeks. The contractor, Ottawa D Squared

Street pedestrian square can pave the way for the creation of other vibrant pedestrian areas in the city. While he agreed that many view some pedestrian zones, such as Sparks Street, as failures because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lively atmosphere that attracts people to them, Quealey said that is a lesson William Street can teach Ottawa. Sparks Street is surrounded by ofďŹ ce buildings, so the area generally empties out at the end of the work day, Quealey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to have that collective energy, and the market has that,â&#x20AC;? Quealey said. While the closed-off block of William Street has slowly been becoming a destination to watch buskers or grab a seat on a bench, the original intention was to reduce trafďŹ c congestion and get rid of idling vehicles polluting the marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s air. With files from Laura Mueller
â&#x20AC;&#x153;No major deterioration, cracking or settlement was observed that would be indicative of a structural concern at the building,â&#x20AC;? reads the report from Morrison HershďŹ eld. Most of the money for proposed upgrades would be needed in 2013 and 2014, the report states. That would mainly include electrical work, and in 2018 the report suggests replacing the waterprooďŹ ng membranes within the walls of the library. A two-storey addition on the north half of the lower section of the library building is a possibility, the report states. NEW LIBRARY DREAM DEAD?
While Harder said the current library isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t completely functional for the modern userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs, the report shows that the building itself is still usable. That means the condition of the building canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be used as a convincing reason to build a new one, Harder said. Harder said she is â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutely not readyâ&#x20AC;? to say that a new Main Library is the solution.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The location we have must be pursued further,â&#x20AC;? she said. Harder said she has $100,000 in the bank thanks to fundraising golf tournaments for the library, and she can use that money as she sees ďŹ t. Hiring an architect to design an addition to the Metcalfe location and redesign the interior layout would be a good use of that money, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Harder said she might propose to the library board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need somebody with vision â&#x20AC;Ś to look at this space with all this information and give us a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? Harder said. But some members of the board felt otherwise, including Jim Bennett, who asked to change the wording of the motion the board approved to accept the report. He wanted it to reference the possibility of a new library, but the board voted that down 7-5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly, there is a fraction on the board,â&#x20AC;? Harder said. Everyone on the board, which includes both city councillors and citizen members, loves libraries, Harder said. The difference is that some members are more attuned to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;realities of the ďŹ scal environment.â&#x20AC;?

Changing the way you think about storage... YOU’VE PROBABLY SEEN ALL THOSE DYMON SELF STORAGE FACILITIES POPPING UP ALL OVER TOWN, AND MAYBE YOU’VE WONDERED WHAT THEY ARE ALL ABOUT. LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED DYMON NOW HAS SIX INDUSTRY LEADING FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
Stepping inside a Dymon facility, you will quickly realize that Dymon Self Storage is not your traditional type of storage business. “Before the arrival of Dymon, self storage in Ottawa was really nothing more than single storey buildings with garage doors. These facilities were typically located in industrial parks or rural locations, that offered minimal security, no climate or humidity controls, and there was very little focus on customer service,” explains Steve Creighton. “We recognized there was a demand for quality storage in Ottawa, but there was virtually nothing available”. Dymon quickly recognized a business opportunity, but wanted to create a unique “made in Ottawa” solution. Before getting started back in 2006, Dymon did extensive research across the U.S. and Canada by visiting dozens of facilities, and quickly determined the attributes of the best performing facilities across North America. Taking these ideas and introducing a few unique offerings of its own, Dymon put together a “best of breed” business model. Arguably, right here in Ottawa Dymon has built the very best that self storage has to offer anywhere in the world. “At the end of the day, your stuff is likely better off stored with Dymon than at your home or business” adds Creighton. 16
Ottawa-East EMC - Thursday, September 20, 2012
From the outside, Dymon’s facilities are architecturally attractive and don’t look anything like storage buildings. “We have moved self storage into the mainstream by locating our facilities in easy to access, highly visible sites, usually adjacent to big box retail” says Creighton, “and with our attractive exterior look we wanted the marketplace to understand that we represented a new and totally different storage solution”.
should drop by the facilities just to see their unique box displays! And the list goes on and on.
WHAT DOES “BEST OF BREED” MEAN?
With everything that Dymon has to offer, is it any wonder that Dymon Self Storage has taken the Ottawa market by storm? Dymon’s first facility on Coventry Road opened in 2006 and filled in just 5 months, and has remained full ever since. And Dymon’s Coventry facility was no flash-in-the-pan – Dymon’s second location at Prince of Wales and Hunt Club was filled in only 6 months. Each
Dymon’s facilities have many distinctive features that differentiate them from anything else in the Ottawa marketplace. By integrating leading technologies, Dymon has created the safest and most convenient way to store your excess stuff. Starting with its complete and total humidity and climate controlled environment, Dymon’s facilities ensure no mould, mildew or bugs. Its advanced security features ensure your possessions are safe – besides having extended retail hours, Dymon also has a 24/7 Customer Service Command Center which monitors all of its facilities with personnel who can respond to customer issues at anytime, day or night. Dymon’s unique drive through bays (which are like airport hangars) provide complete protection from the weather and allow you to load and unload your stuff in comfort. Dymon even offers a free truck and driver at the time of movein for your added convenience, taking the hassle away of renting and driving a large truck. Dymon’s facilities have luxury boardrooms, mini-offices, as well as a vault and mailbox service. And in a short period of time, Dymon has become a leading retailer of boxes and moving supplies – you
But perhaps Dymon’s biggest asset is its relentless focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience. “Our highly trained staff regularly go above and beyond to help our customers deal with the stress of moving and storage,” says Creighton. “And time and time again we receive compliments on how helpful and professional our staff are.”
R0011624103-0920
M
any people are also taking notice of Dymon’s latest facility under construction on Carling at the Queensway. “We are really excited about our Carling site,” offers Steve Creighton, Senior Vice President with Dymon, “it is going to be our flagship facility with our head office located on the top floor. We have some new outstanding features that are going to make this our best facility yet.” Dymon’s next facility will be on Greenbank at Hunt Club, and then another six facilities planned for Ottawa.
DymonBox.com is its latest environmentally focused business that offers customers the opportunity to rent or buy eco-friendly storage bins ideally suited for moving and storage. “This is an incredibly convenient service for our customers,” says Jonathon Dicker, Regional Manager at Dymon, “renting the eco-friendly storage bins is cheaper than buying traditional cardboard boxes and includes free delivery and pick-up.”
subsequent facility has also experienced a rapid fill. Dymon’s Kanata Centrum facility, adjacent to Canadian Tire, is the largest self storage facility in Canada, and is already half full after having just opened at the end of 2011. Pretty impressive stuff when you realize the Kanata facility is twice as large as their Coventry facility! To put this all in perspective, a facility the size of Dymon’s Kanata location would ordinarily take up to 36–48 months to fill in the US.
SO WHO IS YOUR TYPICAL DYMON CUSTOMER? The reasons why people need storage are endless. For example, people selling their homes use Dymon. It has been proven that a decluttered, well staged home will sell more quickly and at a higher price. Dymon is also great if you are downsizing or if you simply have too much stuff and need to make room in your home. Many customers also use Dymon to store their possessions while their homes are undergoing renovations, or to clear out their garage in the fall to make room for their cars. Interestingly, the majority of Dymon’s customers are women. According to Creighton, “Women are the primary decision maker when it comes to storage, so we have taken particular care to design our facilities to be attractive to the female consumer.” Dymon does this by its highly focused customer service, security, convenient access, and ultra clean facilities – all factors many women demand.
“Women appreciate the quality that Dymon offers – they know their stuff will be safe and secure.” Dymon’s storage facilities are also very attractive to business operators. With free on-site boardrooms, a parcel acceptance service, and flexible yet affordable storage leasing options, Dymon offers the perfect solution for a variety of businesses. “Currently about 25% of each facility is made up of commercial customers,” reports Creighton. “Dymon is perfect for business to store bankers’ boxes, excess merchandise, spare office furniture or work equipment, and seasonal inventory. We even have some business customers who use their storage unit as their own mini-warehouse instead of renting a larger building with much higher fixed overhead.” This fall, Dymon is also preparing to launch a new convenient document storage, retrieval and destruction business ideally suited for all types of business. “These additional services that will be offered to our customers represent another natural evolution of our business as we continue to serve our business customers better,” concludes Creighton. Dymon is certainly not prepared to rest on its laurels and existing business successes. “We are continually introducing new services and products to improve what Dymon has to offer,” says Creighton “and we continue to listen to our customers for new ideas on what they want to see from us”.
Dymon even assists you if you want to sell any of your stuff. DymonMine.com offers its customers the chance to sell things in a totally secure and convenient fashion. Dymon will photograph, describe and upload items to its website where potential buyers can view them or they can drop down to the facility and have a look. And just this month DymonMine.com introduced its new offer/ counter offer system where buyers and sellers can negotiate by e-mail, totally anonymously. The new process is fun, simple, and effective. When items are sold, Dymon issues a cheque to the customer, who doesn’t even have to know who bought the item. “Many Dymon customers were saying they wanted to sell some of their excess stuff, but they were frustrated that there weren’t really many convenient sales options available to them,” says DymonMine.com’s Manager, Peter Kalil “so we developed our on-line marketplace as a safe, convenient, hassle-free way for customers to sell and buy stuff.”
You should take the time to drop by one of Dymon’s convenient locations across the City – they really are unlike anything you have ever seen before. If you have too much stuff and need to declutter, and we all face that situation from time to time, Dymon should definitely be the place you end up.

Traffic calming for Hawthorne
Prayers get family through Dirty Thirties
W
e learned to pray at a very early age. Mother was a firm believer in prayer. Father, not so much. Oh, he was a believer in God, but he often wondered why, when we were doing all the right things, we were still poor as church mice. Why we lost several cows when lightning hit the big maple tree on the west hill under which the cows were seeking refuse in a storm was another question he asked. So other than grace at the table at meal time, father pretty well left the praying up to mother. Although mother was raised a Catholic, she became a Lutheran when she married father. Nevertheless, when she felt she needed a special prayer answered, she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t above resorting to her rosary beads. But she always made it clear to us five children, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a case of what you used when praying, it was how often, and how fervently you did so. And so every night before we went to bed, we were marched upstairs to what Emerson irreverently called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the scrunch cornerâ&#x20AC;?.
MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories That was because we all had to scrunch down around motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knee when she settled into the old rocking chair that sat under the window in the corner of the room. It was in my sister Audreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and my bedroom, which was really the upstairs hall, and it was hardly big enough to hold all of us. I always tried to get in the middle, because then I could rest my head on motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knee, but Emerson usually beat me to it. Mother would wait until we had all settled down around her knee, our eyes closed and our hands in steeples, and then she would begin. Her first prayers were ones we said every night. Exactly the same, word for word. And I wondered back then if God got bored listening to the same prayers over and over again. When those prayers were
finished, we then said special prayers for everything such as rain, good crops, a bountiful vegetable garden and a good day of selling door-to-door in Renfrew. And mother never forgot the old woman who lived alone in Renfrew, Granny Hines on the next farm, and the ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, who mother thought was a saint! They were all part of our nightly prayers. And then of course we were expected to come up with our own prayers when all the group praying was over. That idea came to a great and glorious end when Emerson prayed that something evil would befall his very worse enemy at the Northcote School. Mother said, what we would do instead was pray silently to ourselves. I asked her how God would hear us if we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say the
prayers out loud. Mother assured me, He would be well aware of my silent prayers. And so began a lifetime of silent praying. Our Lutheran minister certainly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in silent prayers, I thought back then. In fact his prayers were so loud, at the time I figured they could hear them in the United church a stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throw away. And I wondered if your prayers had an advantage if you took on the pained look that came across our ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face whenever he opened his mouth. I asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey if she thought he had sore feet, because not only did he have a pained look on his face, he had the habit of rocking from one foot to the other. To be honest, I was so intrigued with the minister when he was praying that I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take my eyes off him, when in fact, I was supposed to be sitting in the pew ramrod straight, in deep concentration. Audrey said it had nothing to do with sore feet.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It had to do with the sincerity of the message. I had no idea what my sister was getting at, so I just had to sit there, Sunday after Sunday with my own thoughts. And then it occurred to me that maybe there was something to this silent prayer business. After all, if a whole lot
of people were doing it at the same time, that alone should have an impact and greatly impress God. And so praying silently became part of my life. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very good at it to start. I was praying for things that I had seen in the five and dime store window in Renfrew, and even prayed one time that bad Marguirite would move to another country. When none of these things came about, I decided I had to change what I was praying for. We also prayed every morning at the Northcote School. Right after Miss Crosby read a verse from the Bible, she said the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prayer, and we repeated it after her. One day I realized we did a lot of praying out there in Northcote...there were the graces at every meal, morning prayers at the Northcote School, our nightly prayers around motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knee at night, and the silent prayers each of us were encouraged to offer. I thought back then, with the Depression closed in around us like a tight vice, and every day a struggle for survival, it was the prayers, in whatever form they were given, that were what really got us through the Dirty Thirties.

EMC news - Road widening, bridge reconstruction and traffic calming measures all remain top traffic concerns in Old Ottawa East. During the Sept. 11 Old Ottawa East Community Association meeting it was reported the Lees Avenue eastbound Highway 417 onramp will not be closed until spring 2013. Originally planned to close this month the Ministry of Transportation and the city have decided to combine construction work for the 417 widening and light rail transit corridor work into one contract. The Main Street and McIlraith Bridge reconstruction consultations are set to begin. The city has created a public advisory group to discuss the reconstruction plans. The group will consist of representatives of the institutions, businesses, landowners, interest groups, schools, and relevant city advisory groups and the community association. Also at the meeting, it was announced the budget request needed to implement traffic calming measures including speed bumps will go ahead for Hawthorne Avenue, but when the construction will begin still needs to be determined.

Investing in Canada’s Youth Jack Layton’s passing one year ago was a great challenge for me having considered him a colleague, mentor and dear friend. It was wonderful to see people come together to support one another after his passing, especially since many were young people with big aspirations and goals for the future.

EMC news - Ottawa residents are preparing to drop themselves off an 18-storey building to help raise money for children with disabilities. The third annual Easter Seals Drop Zone Ottawa will take place on Sept. 24 at the National Hotel and Suites Ottawa on Queen Street. On the day 108 participants will drop off the side of the18-storey hotel and rappel to safety in support of the Ontario children and youth with physical disabilities. “I will be pushing my limits as far as a fear factor, but you look at the kids and really, this event is appropriate because they push themselves everyday,” said participant Angela Havey. Havey heard about the fundraising event through her company Century 21 in the spring. She said she leapt at the chance to participate.

One of Jack’s most profound legacies is his dream of a better Canada for our youth. In his letter to Canadians, he specifically addressed young people and said “youth need to be at the heart of our economy, our political life, and our plans for the present and the future.” Since Harper’s election to majority government, little has been done to address the soaring costs of postsecondary education and the crippling debt associated with these expenses, or the high level of youth who are unemployed or underemployed.

Russ Molot was happy to reach the bottom. Molot is participating in the third annual Easter Seals Drop Zone Ottawa on Sept. 24. to help raise money for children with physical disabilities. “I thought this was a challenge I was willing to try to help fundraise,” Havey said. Havey and her team came out to a training session on Sept. 13 at the Coyote Rock Climbing Gym to learn the ropes. Propelling herself off a three metre rock climbing wall, Havey said may be nothing like the building, but still, she found herself afraid to give it a try. “Leaning back is the scariest part,” she said. “But once you trust the rope will hold you, it becomes a lot easier.” Havey was not alone in feeling the fear at the training session. Twenty people came out to the session, all having
to drop off the side of the rock wall at least twice. Others couldn’t wait to go again and again. “It is really fun,” said Don Gompf. “It was my first time, but I was pretty easy.” All of the participants who will be rappelling off the building had to raise a minimum of $1,500. One group, the Amway Ottawa Yager group, has raised more than $6,000 for the cause. The Easter Seals Drop Zone Ottawa is presented by Morguard. All the money raised will support children with physical disabilities by providing financial assistance for mobility equipment such as
walkers, wheelchairs, braces, communication devices and a fully accessible summer camp. Ottawa is one of eight provinces participating this year. In 2011, across Canada, the event raised over $1 million for the organization. Since the fundraiser began in 2005, more than 3,700 people have participated in the event and has raised more than $5.79 million for Canadians with disabilities. The fundraising goal for the capital region is $150,000. For more information about the event or to donate, please go to the Drop Zone website at www.dropzone.ca.

The recent 2012 Budget offered no new money to offset rising tuition costs. According to Statistics Canada, on average, undergraduate students in Ontario paid the highest fees ($6,640) in the country for the 2011-2012 academic year followed by students in New Brunswick (who paid $5,853). The government also quietly removed the $15 billion student loan ceiling and removed Parliament’s oversight of lending limits. Furthermore, there were significant cuts to the Social Sciences and Research Council, as well as the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, which will severely limit research opportunities for post-graduate students. Increasing opportunities for young Canadians to attend college and university is vital for growth and innovation in Canada. According to recent research produced by the National Council of Welfare, a now defunct organization courtesy of the Budget, university graduates represent just 22% of the population but 41% of income tax paid. Investing in post-secondary education opportunities for youth just makes sense! Unfortunately, the workforce has also been unwelcoming to recent graduates. Sadly, we see from recent numbers released by Statistics Canada that in July 2012 alone, monthly job losses were the second highest they’ve been since 2009. Those who’ve been hit the hardest are young people, who often fail to qualify for Employment Insurance, and are caught in the catch twenty-two position of not having the experience for a particular job, but requiring the experience offered by the job to boost their skill set. New Democrats continue to focus on these inequities. We recently introduced Bill C-265, The Canada PostSecondary Education Act, calling on Parliament to establish criteria and conditions with respect to postsecondary education funding. In the last election, we also announced our plans to offset tuition costs with a designated $800 million transfer to the provinces and territories; increasing the funding to the Canada Student Grants Program by $200 million targeting accessibility for Aboriginal, disabled and low-income students; as well as raising the education tax credit.

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

Damn the cornmeal, full molasses ahead!
I
f you’ve ever come across a recipe for Anadama bread, you’re probably familiar with the story of how it got its name. One of the early pioneers in New England supposedly had a lazy wife named Anna. She never had supper ready for him, but every night she would serve him cornmeal mush or pudding. Finally getting tired of this, the fellow stirred some flour and molasses into the mush and put it on the fire to bake. All the time, he kept muttering, “Anna, damn her!” I don’t know what his bread tasted like, but I can guarantee that once you’ve tasted this bread machine version, you’ll make it often. Made with cornmeal, molasses and flour, Anadama

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff bread is very light in texture, brown in color and slightly sweet in flavour. It goes well with almost any meal, but I particularly like to serve it with chili or soup. This bread keeps well and stays fairly moist for about two days. ANADAMA BREAD
• 2/3 cup water • 2 tbsp. cornmeal • 1 1/2 tsp. butter or margarine • 2 tbsp. molasses
• 1 1/2 cups flour • 1/2 tsp. salt • 1 tsp. bread machine yeast Measure the ingredients into your bread machine in the order given. Start it, using either the delay or regular cycle. When the bread is done, remove it from the baking pan, and set it on a wire rack for about one hour to cool before slicing. This recipe makes a small loaf, ideal for two to four people.

Yoga marathon to help raise money for celiac association Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - A local celiac association will hold its ďŹ rst activity-driven fundraiser in the Glebe to help raise awareness and money for the charity. The Ottawa Chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association announced it will hold a Yoga-thon for celiac disease at Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fred Astaire Dance Studio, 149 Second Ave. on Sept. 22. Vice president of the Ottawa chapter, Mark Johnson, said connecting a healthy activity to a disease to promote fundraising and awareness made sense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a healthy activity, being tied to the celiac association; it made sense to connect healthy activities to a healthy cause,â&#x20AC;? he said. The event, Johnson added, is aiming to have at least 100 people participate throughout the day. There will be a variety of yoga styles, including hatha, yin and ashtanga during the marathon yoga session. Participants will also have the chance to win door prizes. One of the goals of the fundraiser is to better educate people about celiac disease and gluten-sensitivity.
Celiac disease affects one per cent of Canadians and it is estimated six per cent of Canadians are gluten-sensitive. Gluten refers to the protein found in wheat, rye, barley, triticale and oats. Those diagnosed must steer clear of any food with any amount of gluten because it makes the body unable to absorb nutrients, such as protein, fat and carbohydrates. The ingestion of gluten can cause nutritional deďŹ ciencies, blistering skin rash and an increased risk of other autoimmune diseases, such as Type 1 diabetes. There is no cure for celiac disease, but is treatable by following a strict diet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three million Canadians suffer from celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, and this fundraiser will help ensure there is safe labeling for gluten-free food,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. Gluten-free food in grocery stores has come a long way, Johnson added, with the association working with Health Canada since 1994 to ensure food marked gluten-free are properly labeled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Safe labeling is certainly making a difference, but some of the problems celiac individuals still face, is dining out â&#x20AC;Ś not everyone in the food industry or family and friends understands just the smallest
amount can make someone sick,â&#x20AC;? he said. Some of the progress with safe-labeling, Johnson said includes a pilot project in Prince Edward Island to provide information and education for food servers in retirement homes and the development of courses for food service workers on how gluten-free food should be prepared safely and without contamination. Johnson said he hopes events like this fundraiser will help raise awareness of the disease and help fund some of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charity activities to help educate people. The organization is not new to fundraising. Each month at the Riverside churches of Ottawa, members have the opportunity to gather for potlucks, nutritional meetings and speaker series. Johnson, diagnosed with celiac disease himself, encourages all newly diagnosed individuals to join and attend information sessions held at the church. Participants are encouraged to pre-register online at www. celiac.ottawa.on.ca. The yogathon will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22. Donations of $15 for the ďŹ rst hour of yoga, and $10 for each subsequent hour are requested.

Shenkman Arts Centre has tickets on sale for season’s performances Ashley MacIsaac to headline in Orléans event Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
EMC news - The Shenkman Arts Centre has released the lineup for the 2012-13 season of music of Ottawa Theatres Presents. Ottawa Theatres Presents is the city’s professional presenting program, and runs shows at both Shenkman and Centrepointe Theatre in Nepean. The series will have 15 shows at Shenkman, with a cost of $25 to $50 per ticket, and $10 to $12 for children’s shows. Pick Your Live Playlist encourages residents to find the music that suits their style and come out to see a live concert or musical. “A lot of people are staying in and listening to their music; they’re downloading their files,” said Shenkman Arts Centre communications staffer Karen Scott-Gagné. “But of course, the live experience is always so much
richer.” There are special eyeGO to the Arts tickets available for secondary students for $5, the number of which is capped at 10 per cent of ticket sales. Scott-Gagné said that because community involvement and awareness has been growing the last several years at Shenkman, organizers have been able to book acts that they couldn’t previously. “This season at Shenkman is really showing the growth that the centre has gone through since it opened,” Scott-Gagné said. “As the community gets to know us, we’re able to bring in bigger names.” One of the first headliners to come to Shenkman will be Ashley MacIsaac, with a show entitled An Evening of Traditional Cape Breton Music. The popular Canadian fiddler recently released a new album, his first in 10 years. Other top artists include Juno-nominated pianist Oliver Jones on Oct. 23 at 8 p.m., which includes a 6:30 p.m. preshow meet-and-greet and appetizers with an additional $10 ticket. Leonard Cohen’s son, Adam, will perform on Nov. 10.
There are some shows especially for the kids, such as the musical Pinkalicious, about a girl who can’t stop eating pink cupcakes – and turns pink as a result, on Nov. 18 at 1:30 p.m. Pinkalicious will have a cupcake decorating workshop for $5 with Top of the Hill Bakery following the show. There will also be three “classic albums live” during the season. “Really it’s a musicians’ show as opposed to a cover band,” Scott-Gagné said. “These are studio musicians. They bring together those that are right for the album and they reproduce the album note for note, cut for cut.” The three classic album shows this season are AC/ DC’s Back in Black on Nov. 15, Queen’s Night at the Opera on March 6 and Led Zeppelin I on April 27. Tickets went on sale on Sept. 14. The box office can be reached at 613-580-2700 or at www.shenkmanarts.ca.

OREO
ID#A143073
ID#A142675
Beebee is a spayed female, brown tabby Domestic Shorthair cat who is about seven years old. She was brought to the shelter as a stray on May 5 and is now available for adoption. Beebee loves to curl up in the sunshine and watch the world go by. She has a quiet personality and gets along well with pretty much anyone. She is past her feisty kitten years and would rather not live in a busy and bustling home. Beebee needs a quiet loving home where she can enjoy her adult and retirement years receiving love and attention curled up on your lap.
This unaltered female, black and white Syrian Hamster is about 10 months old. She was surrendered to the shelter by her owner on August 21. She is one of many hamsters and other small animals currently available for adoption. She would love a wheel in her cage for exercise, and an extra-special treat would be a hamster ball to explore your home outside the cage,under supervision,of course! For more information about these or other animals available for adoption, please call the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www. ottawahumane.ca.
IS YOUR CAT’S SCRATCHING HABIT LEAVING YOU SCRATCHING YOUR HEAD?
You can’t eliminate scratching behaviours: it’s a normal behaviour for your cat; it becomes a problem only when the object being scratched is an item of value to you. The goal is to redirect the scratching to an acceptable object, such as a scratching post. Provide objects for scratching that are appealing and convenient from your cat’s point of view. Observe the physical features of the objects your cat is scratching. Note their location, texture, shape and height. Substitute a similar object(s) for your cat to scratch (for example, rope-wrapped posts, corrugated cardboard, or even a log). Place an acceptable object (for example, scratching post) near
an inappropriate object (for example, upholstered chair). Make sure the objects are stable and won’t fall over when she uses them. You can make these objects more attractive to your cat by spraying them with catnip periodically and hanging a toy from the post. If you cat is refusing to use a scratching post and prefers your rug, try covering a piece of plywood with carpet and spraying it with some catnip. Cover the inappropriate object(s) with something your cat won’t like, such as double-sided sticky tape, aluminium foil, sheets of sandpaper, or a plastic carpet runner with the pointy side up. Only remove the “unappealing” coverings (for example, double-sided sticky tape, aluminium foil, sheets of sandpaper) from the inappropriate object(s) when your cat is consistently using the appropriate objects. This will entice your cat to investigate the more appealing scratching post. Don’t take your cat over to the scratching post and position her paws on the post to show her what she’s supposed to do. This will likely have the opposite effect and
make her less likely to use the post. Special products for training your cat are available at pet supply stores. If you are considering declawing your cat, consider this: declawing a cat doesn’t remove just the claws — it amputates the end digit from the paw, similar in scope to cutting off a person’s finger at the last joint. This procedure can cause substantial discomfort and complications after the operation. Declawed cats may become reclusive, irritable, aggressive and unpredictable, and may have a tendency to bite as they cannot scratch to give warning. While other, newer methods exist for declawing (for example, laser surgery), the end result is still undesirable for your cat as it prevents her from engaging in normal cat behaviour. The OHS does not support declawing. It should be considered as a final option after you have exhausted other alternatives to eliminate destructive behaviour. However, if you feel that you must either declaw your cat or give her up, the OHS would rather see your cat stay in her

My favorite things to do are taking long walks in the grass, eat and than store some of my kibble in my cheeks (to eat later in bed!), chase anything that catches my attention, ah and sleeping under the covers!! And sshhhhh, don’t tell anyone, but I secretly LOVE when my parents dress me in clothes! My scarf completes me! I just love life and cannot get nearly enough cuddles. But I think I’m most happiest when I have my head hanging out the car window!! 9d ndj i]^c` ndjg eZi ^h XjiZ Zcdj\] id WZ ÆI=: E:I D; I=: L::@Ç4 HjWb^i V e^XijgZ VcY h]dgi W^d\gVe]n d[ ndjg eZi id ÒcY dji H^bean ZbV^a id/ X[dhiZg5i]ZcZlhZbX#XV ViiZci^dc ÆEZi d[ i]Z LZZ`Ç

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

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