City needs better info to move forward on Lansdowne, Chernushenko says Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - The cost to the city of redeveloping Lansdowne Park has risen by $12 million, but consultants are busy finding ways to defray the costs. A report released on Sept. 25 advises city council to move forward with the plan and provides and updated snapshot of the costs, revenue and the retail mix. The additional cost includes $3.3 million for the $74.9 million stadium, an extra $5.6 million to build a 1,370-space parking garage and $3.1 million for the office, residential, and public components. Eighteen months of delays caused by a rigorous design process and legal challenges brought by the Friends of Lansdowne and the Lansdowne Park Conservancy have put an additional $8.2 million budget pressure on the project. The list of confirmed merchants (Empire Cinemas, Whole Foods and LCBO) coming to Lansdowne remains at three, but consultants say leases for 73 per cent of the retail space are very close to being signed, which is the norm for a development at this stage, according to the city report. That didn’t sit well with Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, who said he is still not comfortable with the messages he has received on retail at Lansdowne. See STADIUM, page 15

Advanced research lab coming to Ottawa University breaks ground for $57M complex Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - A new building at the University of Ottawa will shed some positive light on research in the capital. Construction on the $57million Advanced Research Complex building began in July. On Sept. 25, the university held its official groundbreaking ceremony for the building to celebrate and promote all the new opportunities
the science and engineering complex will bring to the city. The building will have a strong focus on photonics, which is the study of light. Mona Nemer, vice-president of research at the university, and her colleagues have been discussing the need for a photonics research facility since 2009. Once completed, Nemer said the building would benefit not only the university, but for the city and rest of the country as well.
“Many people ask me why photonics,” she said. “But I say why not photonics? It is almost like, we have to study it, why not study it well.” Nemer added that the research facility will likely attract people from around the world wanting to study photonics. Both the federal and provincial governments have matched funding for the university to build and purchase equipment for the building as well as create new scholarship awards and research project opportunities. Minister of
state for science and technology Gary Goodyear attended the ceremony on behalf of the federal government. “This facility will train the next generation of researchers,” Goodyear said. “We do expect a lot (from the researchers) but we know, with this building you can deliver.” The federal government contributed $5.5 million toward the construction of the Advanced Research Complex and $7.2 million for equipment.

Overbrook Community Association launches newspaper Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - After a 17-year hiatus, community-published news is back in Overbrook. The Overbrook News, an Overbrook Community Association initiative, had 4,000 papers published of its inaugural September issue. Spearheaded by association board members Wendy Dennys and Martine Joly, the two women took a newsletter and turned it into a 16-page broadsheet newspaper. Looking at their first attempt at building a newspaper, both are thrilled with the finished product. “On a scale of one to 10, I would give this paper a 10.5,” Dennys said. Joly agreed: “Seeing the final product has been the best part for me.” Dennys credited the rebirth of the paper to a community partnership with the Community Development Framework, a non-profit organization which focuses on community initiatives and projects. The organization gave the association $2,000 to help fund the paper’s production. The rest of the funding came through advertising with local businesses. Dennys said one of the original papers from 17 years

The Overbrook-Forbes Community Resource Centre

and the Overbrook Community Centre, which has a spread promoting the centre’s recreational activities, also contributed to the inaugural edition. Association president Sheila Perry said it was wonderful
to see the entire community work together on the project. Dennys estimated 250 hours of volunteer work was put into the creation of the first issue. In an attempt to gain inter-
est and help from residents, Dennys and Joly sent out an email to the community seeking sales representatives, columnists and reporters. The paper has a heritage, cycling and community col-
umnist, all of who will feature regularly, the editors said. Residents who had helped with the association’s newsletter helped track down advertisers. The association will print the paper three times a year - in September, March and June/July. “At the moment, I see this paper as a reflective journal of Overbrook,” Dennys said. She said the team will be looking ahead to get more youth-oriented copy in the paper, including puzzles, cartoons or even a student contributor. The goal is to make the paper self-sustaining, with funding coming solely from advertisers. The idea of adding an additional four pages is also being considered for the March edition. Distribution is near complete thanks to volunteers from all around the community and Dennys said she barely has 20 copies left. Ottawa Community Housing will also be distributing to its homes in the neighbourhood. “We are getting our community message out,” Perry said. The deadline for submissions for the March 2013 edition is Jan. 28, 2013 and people can contact the Overbrook News at info@overbrook.ca.

Residents awed by new canal footbridge plans Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news – Plans for a $17.5 million landmark footbridge were met with unanimous support and even applause during a Sept. 27 open house at the Glebe Community Centre. The 334-metre bridge would provide a new link for 2,500 pedestrians and cyclists each day and even more when Lansdowne Park and the Oblate lands in Old Ottawa East are redeveloped. While a previous draft of the design featured sharper angles, it has been refined into a sleek, continuous curve spanning the Rideau Canal. While the V-shaped support structures remain the same, engineers cleaned up a “busy” looking under-deck to give it a “tidier appearance” from below, thinking ahead to skaters passing below the bridge when the canal is frozen. A detailed design is still to come, but the team suggested a white bridge that would imply transparency and give the bridge a clean, sleek appearance. One lesson the team learned from the Corkstown Bridge was that such projects encourage people to congregate and sightsee – not just travel. Some residents at the meeting asked engineers to look at the tight turns on the “switch-

The proposed footbridge would fly over the lily pond on the west side of the Rideau Canal, landing just north of the Canal Ritz restaurant on the east side of Queen Elizabeth Drive. back” ramp, and the possibility of adding stairs. Staff said the city and National Capital Commission would prefer to eliminate stairs both to improve accessibility and the ease of maintenance. Since the new bridge would be twice the length of the Corkstown Bridge, the team is proposing a pedestrian “deck” that would encourage people to walk, sit on benches and linger along the deck portion, rather than the traveling portion. LED lights would provide consistent illumination for safety and to give the
bridge an attractive glow, said Mark Langridge, one of the project’s engineers. “We definitely do not want to light it up like a Christmas tree,” he said. The plan also includes adding signalized intersections at Fifth Avenue and Queen Elizabeth Drive on the west side of the canal, and at Colonel By Drive and Clegg Avenue on the east side – a plan that was met with a loud round of applause from an audience who has long called for traffic signals there. The engineering team spent
a portion of their presentation outlining why a $17.5-million landmark bridge was an important capital feature that’s worth the cost. The much simpler Corkstown pedestrian bridge over the canal to the north would cost about $9 million if it was built today. Everyone interviewed by the Ottawa East EMC and almost everyone who spoke at the open house voiced support for the bridge, but some had reservations about the $17.5million price tag.Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said the
bridge is a smart investment because it will become such an integral east-west link in neighbourhoods that will be intensifying. “You always wish the price was lower,” Chernushenko said. The councillor said he sees no reason why the price tag would sink the landmark project entirely, but it might delay it while the city looks for funds from other sources as well as the budget. The bridge wouldn’t likely be built until the next term of council, even if this council approves the
detailed design. A number of creative solutions to pay for the bridge were proposed. Rose impressed Project manager Colin Simpson with his suggestion to seek funding from the federal government to frame the bridge as a project marking Canada’s 175th birthday in 2017. Bell wondered about asking the Lansdowne Park redevelopers, Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, to defray the cost. Old Ottawa East residents Paul Hobkirk and William Onate suggested finding a sponsor for the naming rights of the bridge. Hobkirk even suggested his own employer, Alcatel, which sponsors the Alcatel-Lucent Sunday Bike Days that close the canal parkways to cars one day a week in the summer. Old Ottawa South resident Keith Bell said he has a more cynical take than others. “The other side of the canal is going to be inundated with parking,” he said, referring to Old Ottawa East. Clegg Avenue-area resident Ron Rose said he and his neighbours are already used to their neighbourhood becoming a parking lot during Winterlude, when skaters come for the easy access to the Rideau Canal Skateway. “We’re willing to put up with whatever extra parking comes just to have access to that way to get across the canal,” Rose said.

Colourful, social butterflies land at Carleton Annual exhibition makes return to university greenhouse Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - For 10 days only this fall, people can witness 41 different butterflies species, living together in one greenhouse take flight. The annual Ottawa Butterfly Show in the Nesbitt Biology Building at Carleton University began on Sept. 29 and will be open until Oct. 8. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. everyday, people will have the rare opportunity to watch butterflies in action. Greenhouse manager, Edward Bruggink has worked on the show since its inception, 13 years ago. “This show offers education and fun,” Bruggink said. “It is a show everyone can enjoy.” At the show last year more than 10,000 people visited the greenhouses. Bruggink said the butterflies come in from around the world, in five different shipments. Some have already cocooned, so students from the biology department help transport and place the cocoons in a mesh casing, which is displayed at the back of the greenhouse.
The staff also encourages families to come right when the show opens, because that is when emergence happens. “It is a miracle,” Bruggink said. “Every time I see it, it is amazing. It is definitely so great to see.” From caterpillars, cocoon and then butterfly, the show offers a rare glimpse of the lifespan of a butterfly. Most species live for a total of three weeks. Of the species in the greenhouse, Bruggink said there is two of the world’s largest moth, the Atlas moth, found in tropical settings in Southeast Asia. The show is completely free, but does accept donations. People are encouraged to bring their cameras and wear bright colours to the show, which Bruggink said will attract the butterflies. The Greenhouse is located in the Nesbitt building, on the corner of University Drive and Raven Road. More information about the show, along with directions to the building are available on the Carleton website at www1. carleton.ca/biology/annual-biology-butterfly-show.

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND
This digital billboard on St. Laurent Boulevard near Tremblay Road was part of a study of the lit billboards that the city is aiming to allow in more urban areas.
Digital billboards get stamp of approval Councillors want digitals signs in rural, suburban areas Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - The desire among city councillors to move ahead with permitting digital billboards in the city pitted rural and suburban councillors against urban representatives at a Sept. 25 meeting. In the end, despite 700 comments from the public, mostly in opposition to the idea, the urban area will be open to digital billboards – with a list of restrictions. Those rules will make Ottawa’s digital billboards the dimmest and most restricted advertising screens in the country, said Peter Giles, a project and program manager with the city’s planning and infrastructure department. Still images (not videos) on the LED lit signs will have to remain for a minimum of 10 seconds before changing, and the signs will have to be the least bright in Canada. The locations will also be very restricted: digital signs won’t be allowed in rural or pre-
dominantly residential areas, near heritage properties or on hydro corridors and there are generous setback distances to keep them away from highway on- and off-ramps, parkways and villages. Giles estimates that 22 of the 393 documented conventional billboards in the city could be converted to digital billboards under the new rules. That didn’t please some councillors on the planning committee, including Barrhaven councillor and planning committee vice chairwoman Jan Harder. “You said we are going to be the most restrictive in the country. The question is, why? Why do we need to be?” Harder asked city staff during the Sept. 25 meeting. “I just think this is way overly cautious.” If digital billboards are more attractive and offer more timely information than standard billboards, Harder said, why not allow them? The planning committee voted in favour of Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley’s direction to ask staff to come back in a year to look at expanding the digital billboard program to other areas, including rural and suburban
sections of Ottawa. Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs was the only member of the committee to vote against the digital billboard proposal. One of four pilot project billboards is located in her ward, at Carling and Kirkwood avenues, and her office receives numerous complaints that it is distracting. “I don’t interpret that as having access to more and better information,” Hobbs said, adding that she was disappointed with staff’s recommendation. “What is the benefit to our constituents? I think we have the time and the benefit of being cautious,” Hobbs said. “We should be considering enhancements to our public spaces instead of just a revenue stream.” Allowing digital signs will allow for the city to charge $2,500 for a digital billboard permit – that’s $700 more than a conventional billboard. For sites that don’t qualify under the guidelines, an ad-
vertiser can apply for a minor variance to get an exemption for a digital billboard. That would also cost $2,500 on top of the permit. Orléans Coun. Bob Monette was concerned that the city won’t be making enough money from digital billboards. “My only concern is that we’re not getting enough bang for our buck,” Monette said. “We’re almost breaking even, we should be doing better than breaking even.” Until now, the only types of digital signs allowed were digital scrolling text as part of “message centre” signs and video signs for drivethrough restaurants. Digital signs are considered more efficient because they can display a greater number of messages, so they are more cost-effective; there is a greater supply of advertising, making it more affordable to small businesses; and they are easier and less expensive to maintain, according to a city report.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale Ottawa & Area - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away
altogether.

Glebe association looks at incorporating annex Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news – At a recent Glebe Community Association meeting, board members discussed the possibility of adding a neighbourhood west of Bronson Avenue to official boundaries. The Glebe Annex is to the northwest of the Glebe, bounded by Bronson Avenue to the east and Carling Avenue to the North. At the Glebe Community Association’s Sept. 25 meeting, members of the board and
residents discussed the possibility of incorporating the area in the association. Planning committee chairman Bobby Galbreath asked the board to consider making a decision, one way or another on the area this year. “It has come up a number of times in meetings,” Galbreath said. “A decision needs to be made.” Association president Lynn Barlow agreed. “I think we should talk about this during the course of the year and come up with a structure that could work for them and the GCA,” she said. Previously the Glebe had absorbed residents living in the Dow’s Lake neighborhood, located immediately south of the Glebe Annex, into its coverage area. Formal discussions by the Glebe board discussions regarding the Glebe Annex began in January 2011. The goal at that time was to hold a public consultation in the spring of 2011, which never took place. This lack of action on the matter is what led Galbreath to call on the board to move forward with the issue this year.

Ottawa-East EMC - Thursday, October 4, 2012
EMC news – A recent music festival left a city councillor’s home shaking, something he wasn’t too happy about. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said the city needs to look into the physical impact of loud noises: vibrations. Cherushenko’s Old Ottawa South home was rocking recently during the House of PainT festival. While he couldn’t hear the music emanating from under the Dunbar Bridge, Chernushenko said his house was vibrating non-stop during the performances. “I couldn’t say it was noisy,” he said. “It was the non-stop buzzing of my home and my body and the street I was standing on. It’s extremely uncomfortable what it does to the body.” The councillor will be submitting an inquiry to city staff after he was told that bylaw staff has no way to measure the subwoofer vibrations, nor any way to enforce a city bylaw when it comes to physical “buzzing.” “It’s about the physical effect and the fact that you can’t get away from it. You can’t close your windows,” Chernushenko said, adding the city needs a better understanding

Chernushenko didn’t want to single out the one festival. While it was his most visceral personal experience with the phenomenon, the issue of noise vibrations is a growing one in the city and North America as audio technology changes. A cursory Google search revealed that many jurisdictions are looking at the issue, but they have also found more questions than answers, Chernushenko said.

United Way Ottawa campaign announces $30M goal Fundraising goal dropped goal by $2 million, targets announced Eddie.rwema@metroland.com
EMC news – The United Way Ottawa has lowered this year’s fundraising target after falling $1.5 million short of last year’s goal of $33.5 million. More than 1,000 people attended a rally at the CE Centre on Sept. 27, when the United Way officially launched the 2012 Community Campaign, announcing a fundraising target of $30 million – $3.5 million less than last year’s target. “We are being respectful of the economic dynamics of the community right now. There are wage freezes, job cuts and we have a smaller public service this year. The goal reflects that and we are respectful of that,” said campaign co-chair and television personality Angie Poirier. She urged those present at the launch to give, speak-up and take action to support the community. “We are pretty confident that we are going to make our goal and again exceed it if possible,” said Poirier. Campaign co-chair, Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he was confident the charity would be
able to reach this year’s mark. “United Way is a voice for giving and for philanthropy in our city,” said Fleury. “By supporting United Way, we are all working together to resolve our community’s most critical challenges — now and for our future.” The focus area champions will speak directly with donors about the importance of the campaign and how their contributions are directly supporting United Way’s focus areas and making a difference to the community. “Both Mathieu and I have grown up in this city with a belief that we can make a difference. We have the legacy of so many leaders in this community and I’m proud to step up and take my place beside them — beside you,” said Poirier. Whether donors contribute to United Way’s community priorities or support the charity of their choice, their donations help to build a stronger, healthier and safer community for all, said a United Way press release. Donors can contribute through payroll deductions or online giving, corporate gifts and through special fundraising events. The money raised through

Watson’s casino wager the right call
D
espite the ethical hand-wringing that will inevitably accompany the mayor’s announcement last week that Ottawa will entertain any proposals from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to build a casino in the city, it is the right way to move forward on this issue. Casinos have been a reality in Ontario since 1994, in the capital region since 1996 and there have been slot machines at the Rideau Carleton Race-
way since 2000, meaning residents of this city have had plenty of opportunity to gamble for more than a decade. Getting squeamish about gambling at this point is a little naive – gaming arrived in Ontario nearly 20 years ago. What is at issue is not if Ottawa will allow a casino, but where. Currently, gamblers travel to Gatineau or to the racetrack to place their bets. In the near future, OLG will close the slots at Rideau
Carleton, meaning any money made from gambling will leave the city, as will the jobs associated with the operation of the slots. It would be irresponsible for either Mayor Jim Watson or council to let this happen. As Watson said last week, “every Ottawa dollar spent at the Gatineau casino is a dollar lost for Ottawa taxpayers – it is time that we repatriate that money.� What is at stake is whether Ottawa will allow jobs, gambling revenue and
associated tourist dollars to stay in our city or leave for good. The mayor indicated any revenue generated for the city by a casino will be spent on infrastructure renewal, job creation and economic development, all areas that will be moving to the forefront of the city’s agenda in the coming years. But gambling revenues won’t be the only way building a casino could benefit the city. As the federal govern-
ment sheds jobs, new sources of employment will be vital to Ottawa. If one of those sources of new jobs is a casino, so be it. It wouldn’t just be a casino, however, as other hospitality businesses would benefit from a casino’s presence, as would the more established Ottawa tourism industry. In order to ensure a casino is successful, the city will need to be brave enough to approve a location that ensures its success. This would likely involve a central location close to existing hotels and transit. To place it on the outskirts of the city would only deter tourists and serve
to limit the casino’s capacity to benefit the city, making the whole exercise a waste of public time and resources. Does all this mean the city and the province would not have a responsibility to educate residents about problem gambling or support those who have an addiction? Of course not - and it would only be appropriate that some portion of gambling revenue be directed towards expanding and improving those efforts. Gambling is nothing new to the Ottawa region and by firmly putting his support behind any future OLG casino proposal Watson has placed a good bet on the city’s future.

hese days, when you lament for the past you are not looking all that far back. Change happens so quickly that the latest thing becomes the previous thing in no time flat. DVD players came about 15 years ago. Five years after that they became dominant and people stopped renting videotapes. Now it’s next to impossible to rent a DVD. That’s fast. And don’t bet the mortgage on the next thing lasting all that long either. Think of how long radio was dominant before television took over. Think of how long phonograph records lasted before CDs came along. Decades and decades. Now within a single decade we see new systems emerge, disappear and be replaced by others which then disappear too. If you feel too lazy to try to keep up, join the club. Last week Sam Sniderman died at 92. He was the founder of the record store Sam the Record Man. Located on Yonge Street in Toronto it was the place to go for fans of all kinds of music, especially the less popular kinds. Eventually there were more than 100 Sam’s across Canada, including several here. There was a pretty good one at Carlingwood and a really good one at Bayshore, with the jazz and classical music in a special glassed-in section of the store. Anywhere in Canada, if you wanted a wide selection of classical music or jazz or folk music, Sam’s was where you went. Where do you go now? You go online. And who is there? No one, except you. Some of the comment on the death of Sam has stressed that point - that there was always someone knowl-
edgeable around the store to consult if you wanted to know about the latest Miles Davis reissue. But, actually, there is no shortage of opinion available today, expert and otherwise. If you want to buy the latest Miles reissue you can scan the web and find out what everyone thinks about it. You can probably sample a track. Even though there is no one to talk to in a store, you can find what you need to know. So it’s not the absence of expertise that makes the passing of the record (later CD) store lamentable. Nor is it that there is less music available. There is more. Those of us who grew up desperately searching for jazz in small-town record stores and on the radio find ourselves facing riches beyond belief on the Internet. So why do we miss the record store? Why, for that matter, will we miss the book store. There is no shortage of ways to get books online and no shortage of books either. Maybe it’s because we feel we are at the mercy of technology. A record (or a CD) is a tangible thing. It is always there. Music on the Internet depends on your Internet connection; music on your computer depends on your hard drive not packing it in. It feels tenuous and temporary. Not to everyone, of course. It is not unusual to find people whose entire music collection is stored on a device smaller than, say, a DVD box. Their total embrace of the new technology is what has sparked the tremendous growth in online music and the death of the record store. To be fair, the record, or CD store, still exists. They are fewer and often drastically scaled-down. But a few stores, like Compact Music and CD Warehouse in Ottawa, are still fighting the good fight. In response to Sam Sniderman’s death, there has been comment on the feeling of community in the store and the loss of that community since it closed. There is, of course, a new community – it is online and it will take some getting used to. When Marshall McLuhan talked about the “global village,� he didn’t know the villagers would be solitary people at their computer screens.

Garbage changes spark education push in Sandy Hill Association president advises residents to use patience during the transition Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - In light of the new changes to garbage pickup across the city, board members of the Sandy Hill community association are taking action to educate residents. Starting Oct. 29, in an effort to reduce the amount of solid waste the city is sending to the landfill, green-bin materials will be collected each week while garbage pick up will be reduced to once every two weeks. The frequency of cardboard and container recycling won’t change. As a result of the transition, 158,000 households in Ottawa, including Sandy Hill, will get a new garbage collection day. Christopher Collmorgen, president of Action Sandy Hill, announced that because of these changes, education is needed to control the amount of garbage piled up on its streets. “Garbage is an uphill battle for us as it is and I think this change will be hard,” said Collmorgen. “It will be all about educating residents.” Sandy Hill’s garbage pick-
up will change from Mondays to Tuesdays. Many University of Ottawa students call Sandy Hill their home, because of the close proximity of the neighbourhood to the university. The number of students living in the downtown neighbourhood has created many battles between home owners and students, including disputes over garbage piling up at rental properties. “We have a lot of issues with buildings that don’t have the proper receptacles to hold the amount of garbage they produce now, when the new changes come in, we will really be in trouble,” said board member Francois Bregha. Unfortunately, Collmorgen said, efforts to educate residents can only go so far. “We will have to recognize that change is difficult,” he said. “We should give it time, and we may need to literally hold our noses during the transition.” Some board members indicated reservations about having to once again be in charge of telling on their neighbours if garbage is placed out incorrectly or remains for weeks on end. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Ma-
MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND
Garbage in the Sandy Hill neighbourhood has had a tendancy to pile up, with some multi-unit dwellings placing garbage on the curb any time of the week. With new changes to the city’s garbage pickup schedule, board members of Action Sandy Hill plan on educating residents on the changes, to make the transition go more smoothly. thieu Fleury announced the city will be monitoring the transition closely to ensure it goes as smoothly as possible, including offering residents
tools to learn about the collection schedule, including a searchable online calendar, as well as weekly collection reminders by phone, email or
Twitter. Residents will have the opportunity to choose whether they want the alerts to arrive the evening before or the
morning of collection day. More information about the city’s changes can be found at ottawa.ca/en/garbage_recycle.

Eliminating the ‘lifer’ mentality
I
t’s not an easy time to be a public servant. In Ontario, slightly more than half of teachers are locked in battle with the government. At the federal level, departments continue to implement broad and deep cuts to meet the Conservative party’s 2012 budget targets. On top of the internal strife, government workers must also deflect the near daily onslaught of criticism from the public and the media, which tend to portray them as greedy, lazy, and spoiled. There’s a widely-held perception, after all, that the public service is where talent and innovation go to die. Once people sign on, they’re there for life. No need to work hard. Push some paper. Organize a conference call now and again. Then you can just kick back and enjoy the ride – or, in this case, a lucrative benefit package. The sad thing is, as with most stereotypes, there’s some truth to this perception. It’s not surprising, really. The federal government employs a quarter of a million people, the largest employer in the country. The hiring process alone is a cumbersome and lengthy affair, often taking more than six months to fill even an entry-level position. There are written tests followed by a series of interviews by committee, where
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse mechanical human resources officers tick off horribly detailed boxes designed to fit existing job descriptions. But if the hiring process is archaic, the firing process is positively draconian. In the private sector, you get a pink slip, maybe a package and someone walks you out the door, ideally with some kind of career transition counselling. In government, you get a notice that maybe, possibly, perhaps you’re going to lose your job at some point between now and six months from now. You have the option to take a package or a retraining amount and leave. But if you want to stay employed you, and, say, 15 others who’ve received the same notice, are going to have to compete for a handful of positions. Imagine what this does to morale which is already in the toilet. The department affected goes into a tailspin. People’s reactions range from “the devil may care,” to panic-stricken. Whatever the response, it’s hard to go to
work without looking at your colleagues sideways. Most of those whose positions may be affected have a tendency to reduce their efforts to the bare minimum. Part of the problem, and what causes much of the panic, is that people don’t have a Plan B, says Moira Hutchison, a life strategy mentor and coach. “When people work in the government, they feel like they’re set for life,” says Hutchison, owner of Wellness with Moira. “They have the pension and the health benefits. They may not even like their jobs, but they become so panic-stricken because the idea they had of safety and security has been stripped away from them. They are stuck.” For the last 10 years, Hutchison has been connecting clients with a number of self-help methods – ranging from hypnosis to self-affirmation and coaching -- designed to help them get “unstuck”. “People forget what motivated them to get into
these jobs in the first place,” explains Hutchison. “When the cuts come, they get frozen into this worst-case scenario kind of thinking. But before they hit a crisis, they need to be tapping into resources to make sure they have the tools for self-care, and are equipped to handle these things when they see it coming rather than waiting until the crisis hits.” Hutchison adds that, with so many layoffs occurring at once, people would be well-served to tap into their entrepreneurial skills, thinking about ways to turn their passions into money-making ventures. “People aren’t going to be able to just go and work at Tim Horton’s,” says Hutchison. “They require jobs of equal calibre to what they’re doing now. But these jobs don’t exist, so they are going to have to create one for themselves.” She says everyone in government – regardless of whether their jobs are imminently affected or not – would be well-served to escape from the mindset that they are “lifers” in the government. A little innovation and entrepreneurship within their jobs could make them a lot happier and more productive, and it may just help them minimize that nasty public perception.
Facility to house unique research equipment Continued from page 1
The new five-storey, 13,490-square-metre building, will house two separate research efforts, a new space for the uOttawa Centre for Advanced Photonics and 10 state-of-the-art geosciences laboratories. “The groundbreaking of this world-class facility sets Ottawa on the path to becoming the geoscience capital and the photonics capital of the world,” said university president Allan Rock. It will also house Canada’s only accelerator mass spectrometer lab, which will feature Canadian technology used world-wide to measure trace atoms with unstable nuclei, called radionuclides.

HELP PROTECT CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY October is Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month More than 47% of adults in Ontario have been exposed to or know someone who is the victim of child abuse and neglect. In Ottawa alone, only 42% of residents claim to know how to report abuse directly to the CAS. These numbers suggest there are far too many vulnerable children and youth, without a voice, in our community. During Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month, through a variety of media outlets and social media tools, it is the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa’s mission to educate the public about the prevention of abuse. “People feel it’s hard to infringe on parental rights, and they’re naturally hesitant to involve themselves,” says Barbara MacKinnon, Executive Director of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa. “When reporting to CAS, it doesn’t mean we are going to remove a child from their home. It is about assessing the situation and discovering whether the family may benefit from support services.” Signs may not always be obvious in a child who has been abused or neglected. This is why it is our responsibility, as a community, to stay informed of the signs of abuse and learn when and who to call to help a child. “If your gut tells you that something’s wrong, then it probably is,” continues MacKinnon. Not all calls received by CAS result in an investigation, and only an extremely small percentage of investigations require that a child or youth be removed from the family home. Most often, the intervention involves simply connecting the family to services within the community. Last year, in more than 90 per cent of cases where CAS became involved, work was done with the family and the child stayed home. To learn more about the warning signs of abuse, visit useyourvoice.ca.

Construction delays to see Brewer Pool closed until 2013 Repairs to Ottawa South, Pinecrest facilities see courses cancelled Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Swimmers in Old Ottawa South are out of luck this fall. All programs at the pool at the Brewer Complex have been cancelled until the new year due to delays in construction while repairing the pool’s roof. The pool closed in June with a promise to re-open in September, but now the pool isn’t expected to re-open until “early 2013,” according to city spokeswoman Jocelyne Tuner. The work was needed to replace the ceiling, lighting and pool ventilation system, as well as to remove asbestos, repair walls and build an entrance ramp. But when workers dug into the ceiling, engineers determined that the structural roof deck itself was worse for wear and needed repairs. “When work was conducted, structural engineers determined that the structural roof deck had to be repaired before the building could reopen to the public,” Dan Chenier, general manager of parks, recreation and cultural services, said in a statement. The additional work will cost $400,000 on top of the $1.18 million price tag for the original project; $615,000 of that was slated for ceiling repairs, while $319,000 was supposed to go towards the ventilation system. The remaining $250,000 was budgeted for the accessible entrance ramp. “If anyone had known it was that bad, we would have done it differently,” said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. What’s not accounted for is the loss in revenue from pro-
gram registrations. The planned summer closure meant the cancellation of 330 learn to swim courses, but the last-minute fall closure left users without access to 533 learn to swim courses at Brewer pool this fall. The councillor said he was disappointed and upset to hear of the longer-than-expected closure because he fully expected it to open on time. Pool users would be forgiven for thinking the same, as there was no notice posted at Brewer pool about the ongoing closure, nor did the complex’s voicemail message indicate the pool was still closed for repairs. The city sent a media release on Sept. 28 indicating that the pool would continue to be closed for ongoing repairs. Old Ottawa East resident Jules Audet swims at Brewer Complex two or three times a week, and he bicycled there to swim at the beginning of September only to find extensive construction was still underway. Assuming the construction would end soon and with no indication otherwise, Audet held out for his home pool, but now that the city has indicated it won’t open until 2013, he said he’ll make other plans. “In terms of the information lacking, it doesn’t take long to inform people,” Audet said. “I don’t know why they didn’t do that.” City staff helped pool users find alternate locations wherever possible, Chernushenko said. According to the city, 11 fall Brewer pool courses were relocated to other pools. Part of the contingency plan includes putting off repairs that were planned for the Sawmill
Creek Pool this fall. That work has been delayed until 2013. Brewer isn’t the only pool with problems this fall. The city had to close the Pinecrest Pool in the west end. The unexpected closure is the result of faulty ceiling panels that were originally replaced in 2009, according to a written statement from Chenier. It’s too early to say how much the repairs will cost, but the city has already put $2.6 million of maintenance into that pool since 2004. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said in an email that residents are being offered passes to alternate facilities. While the roof at Pinecrest may be a warranty issue rather than a maintenance one, Chiarelli added that as council drafts the new development charges bylaw, it should ensure that some of the money collected from development charges goes to enhancing existing recreational infrastructure to a level that can keep pace with the growing population that it creates. “Obviously the investment of adequate dollars into lifecycle maintenance saves many more dollars in reconstruction,” he said. All swim programming at Pinecrest, including aqua fitness classes and public swims, have been cancelled. “The city wishes to thank residents for their patience,” Chenier wrote. In a recently released report on the city’s infrastructure, the majority of Ottawa’s 29 indoor and outdoor pools were listed in fair condition – a larger proportion than the 43 per cent of overall recreation and culture infrastructure listed in fair condition. Forty per cent of the city’s recreation and culture infrastructure is in good to very good condition. With files from Jennifer McIntosh

Hopewell benefit a huge success
Energy Minister Bentley Visits Hydro Plant at Chaudière Falls
More than 600 people show support for former music teacher

Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - A benefit concert held for former Hopewell teacher Allison Woyiwada raised more than $35,000. The concert took place on Sept. 23 at the Southminster United Church. The event, organized by Woyiwada’s family, brought music, friends and former students together to help the former teacher cover medical costs associated with recovery from aneurysm surgery. A volunteer for the event, Kelly Ray, reported on Sept. 24 the total amount raised at the concert was $35,240. “The benefit concert tonight was a huge success,” Ray said. “The church seats over 600 people and we had to turn people away at the door.” Woyiwada taught for 28 years at Hopewell before retiring in 2008. The passionate music teacher continued to pursue her love for music with performances and directing for the Savoy Society of Ottawa. She was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm in December 2011 and underwent surgery in May. Since the surgery, Woyiwada’s daughter, Marya said the road to recovery has been tough and watching her mother’s ordeal, she wanted to ensure once she is released from the hospital the best type of care is waiting for her, and so she began to organize the benefit concert.

Mother and daughter, Marya and Allison Wayiwada both share a love for music. A benefit concert at the Southminster United Church, 15 Alymer Ave. held on Sept. 23 raised more than $35,000 to help Allison Wayiwada pay for medical and therapy costs post-aneurysm surgery. “Although I would have preferred not have to throw this event, the fact that it was so successful was like a dream come true,” Marya said. “The concert was entertaining, a good length and flowed nicely. I’m still wired four days later and on cloud nine.” A former student Nick Cochrane and The Hopewell school jazz band performed at the concert, but Ray said Woyiwada’s daughter left the audience breathless. “The singing was magnifi-
cent and particularly touching were performances by Marya,” Ray said. “Marya sang several pieces including one that her mother sang to win Winnipeg’s Rose Bowl in 1976 and a Mozart duet that Marya and Allison (Woyiwada) performed together in 2010.” More than half of the $35,240 raised for Woyiwada, $23,180, was through ticket sales and online donations, with $4,520 worth of tickets sold at the Ottawa Folklore
Centre prior to the event. The remainder of the grand total, $7,540 was raised at the concert. Marya added she received regrets and her mother’s blog, woyiwada.blogspot.ca, had received almost 10,000 hits from all over the world leading up to the concert. Woyiwada’s family will be holding another benefit concert for rehabilitation needs, called Welcome Winter, on Nov. 24 at the Glebe St. James United Church at 4 p.m.
On September 28, Ontario’s Minister of Energy Chris Bentley visited Chaudière Generating Station No. 2, one of Hydro Ottawa’s historic hydroelectric generating stations at Chaudière Falls. The station, commissioned in 1891 and refurbished and fully automated in 2001, is a heritage-designated building that is Canada’s oldest fully-functional run-of-theriver hydroelectric facility. Minister Bentley was accompanied by Pierre Richard, Chairman, Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. and Hydro Ottawa Limited; and Bryce Conrad, President and CEO, Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. Hydro Ottawa also owns Chaudière Generating Station No. 4, built in 1900 and refurbished in 2005, as well as a smaller station named the Grinder Powerhouse which uses an innovative technology that is similar to a pump operating in reverse – the first time this technology has been used at a scale of 700 kilowatts or more. Hydro Ottawa’s Chaudière Falls stations have a generating capacity of 17 megawatts and an annual production of about 125,000 megawatt hours of green energy. With the addition of its landfill gas-to-energy generation, Hydro Ottawa is the largest generator of green power in eastern Ontario. This green energy portfolio will expand with the closing of the acquisition of three more hydroelectric stations at Chaudière Falls from Domtar with a capacity of 20 megawatts. The acquisition will more than double Hydro Ottawa’s hydroelectric generating capacity, enabling the company to generate enough clean, renewable energy to meet the annual needs of 28,000 households.

“(Hunt) placed first in qualifying for this position and it is sad that someone else’s prejudice is threatening that.” The president said he spoke with Hunt and said the officer wants to work in Vanier and wants to have the chance to receive French language training and he found it concerning the police would be politicizing this particular centre’s appointment. In the meantime, Hunt will return to his former position as a school resource officer serving in the central-east area.

Ottawa Police Association, said it will fight the decision to remove Hunt from the community policing position. “Matt (Hunt) is an incredibly skilled officer and I am not sure how Matt isn’t capable of doing his job,” he said. Skof, who has served at the Vanier Community Police Centre himself, said the community has language barriers beyond French and not one of those barriers has stopped him from doing his job effectively. “That centre represents more than just one francophone community,” he said.

“We have concern that a unilingual officer would be less able to offer service to our francophone community,” said president Mike Bulthuis in an interview on Sept. 19. “Community policing is an important service and we are wondering what the police would do to ensure services to the francophone community would be met.” According to the Ottawa Police Association, the application process does not require an applicant to be bilingual - it is only listed as an asset.

Const. Matt Hunt will no longer be representing the communities of Vanier and Overbrook. The officer, placed in the position in mid-September has been removed because he does not speak French. The decision was made on Sept. 24. The former Vanier Community Police Officer, Marc Daviault, will remain at the community police centre.

EMC news - The Ottawa police have moved to reinstall the former constable running the Vanier Community Police Centre following concerns that his replacement could not speak French. Const. Matt Hunt stepped into the community policing role after Const. Marc Daviault was offered another position within the force.
Following concerns raised by members of the public, including the Vanier Community Association, police have confirmed that as of Sept. 24 Daviault, a bilingual officer, will return to his former position. As of the week of Sept. 17, Hunt was already acting as the community police officer for the area and had even attended an Overbrook community safety meeting on Sept. 20.

Overbrook Community Association president Sheila Perry said she was impressed with Hunt’s resume and his enthusiasm to work at the McArthur Avenue centre. “I am looking forward to serving the community,” Hunt said at the meeting. But following the appointment of Hunt the Vanier Community Association expressed concerns about Hunt’s lack of French language skills in a letter addressed to police Chief Charles Bordeleau. The letter expressed the association’s disappointment that bilingualism was not prioritized when hiring the new community police officer.

Fall barbecue marks success for Sandy Hill Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - A Sandy Hill community association is crediting the overwhelming success of its annual fall barbecue to the work of a new committee dedicated to fostering better relations between residents and university students living in the area. The Sept. 15 barbecue, organized by Action Sandy Hill, is a means to introduce homeowners, renters and students to one another and to keep everyone up to date with the goings-on in the neighbourhood. At the association’s monthly meeting on Sept. 24, the fall barbecue committee reported a record breaking1,179 hamburger and hot dog were consumed at the event. Action Sandy Hill board member Claire MacDonald credited the success of the barbecue to a door-knocking
campaign the week before the event which saw the association, community partners, police, bylaw officers, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury’s office and the University of Ottawa out in the neighbourhood spreading the word to students about safe behaviours, being a good neighbour and the dangers of alcohol consumption. “You can see in the numbers we got at the barbecue that the campaign was effective,” MacDonald said. The campaign is the product of a new pilot project, called a town and gown committee, which formed to address issues in the university neighbourhood. The fall campaign was part of the committee’s September strategy, which was all about educating the students about the neighbourhood, the city’s garbage schedules and bylaw information. The fall barbecue is just one of the methods the as-
sociation uses to reach out to new and returning students in the neighbourhood. In the past, association president Christopher Collmorgen said the board would conduct a door-knocking campaign, but this year was the first time the campaign involved 20 students from the university. That peerto-peer communication was something the board said was missing in the past. “The success of the barbecue is evidence of our momentum,” he said. The barbecue is funded through donations from local business, the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa and the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre. The rest is covered by the association. The effect of a larger turnout at the event this year was absorbed by the association. “We need to think about more donations next year,” said Francois Bregha, secre-

Board members committed to setting up a permanent committee, with a budget and check list for next year’s event. The town and gown com-
mittee plans on meeting three times a year, with subcommittees meeting more frequently. The next official meeting for the committee is set for November.

city council’s condition that the retail be a “unique and distinct” mix without seeing even a preliminary list of retailers who’ve committed to the Lansdowne vision. “It’s chance of success relies on it being unique and distinct, because why else would you choose … to go there when you can find the exact same mix of stores with free parking closer to you?”
Chernushenko said. Meanwhile, a whopping 212 per cent increase in the potential revenue that could be derived from selling naming rights at Lansdowne is attributed to expanding the scope of naming opportunities, said city manager Kent Kirkpatrick. While earlier versions of the plan estimated that $15.7 million could be raised from finding spon-
sors to name components of the stadium and arena, but a consultant determined that $50.2 million could be raised from finding sponsors to name various components of the entire site, including the commercial section and the urban park. The city’s finance and economic development committee was set to debate the report at an evening meeting
on Oct. 2. While the entire development, including Frank Clair Stadium, is expected to be fully complete by 2015, the stadium won’t be ready in time for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup games in 2014. Ottawa will still welcome the Women’s World Cup in 2015 and CFL football will be ready to go in later 2014.

“There are a number of important aspects to this report, but the one that jumps out to me is the lack of detail on the retail,” Chernushenko said. “This is the last and indeed almost only chance for councillors and for the public to know what it is we’re buying into. What is it we’re spending $165 million on … . We
can’t just say, ‘Trust us, sign here.’ This is the last chance. This is where we sign the cheque and it can’t be a blank one.” The whole development is expected to cost $400 million to build, which is shared with the private partner building the project, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group. Chernushenko said it’s hard for him to believe that

New chemical ready for ash borer test Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
Are you concerned about the quality of life and well-being of your neighbours? Then look no further!
Sandy Hill Town and Gown Committee: Get Involved To live in an urban area means that we have accepted the dynamics of living downtown. That said, our tolerance also has its limits. It is important that each of us do our part to ensure that we have harmonious relations in our community; it is a shared responsibility. It was from this starting point that the idea of establishing the Town and Gown Committee for Sandy Hill evolved. The Town and Gown Committee is made up of representatives of the City of Ottawa, the University of Ottawa, the student federations and the community. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple. The purpose of the Town and Gown Committee is to bring together high level officials from various groups to discuss and find solutions to key issues and determine the best way forward.
EMC news - An experimental chemical insecticide and a different way to process infected ash wood are two new ways the city is fighting the emerald ash borer. Two dozen Ottawa trees will be injected with a new insecticide called Confidor over the next couple of weeks, making the city only the second Canadian municipality to try the treatment against the beetles, which burrow under ash treesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bark, slowly killing them. Its recent Health Canada approval means it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even available for sale yet, so Ottawa is getting the insecticide for free from the company as it assesses Confidorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effectiveness and impact. That announcement came with news that the beetles have spread farther across the city. New locations identified this year include: Barrhaven, Kanata North, Fitzroy Harbour, Stittsville, Richmond, Manotick, Metcalfe, Vernon, Vars and Navan. Environment committee chairwoman Coun. Maria McRae said it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty frighteningâ&#x20AC;? how quickly the emerald ash borer is spreading across Ottawa. The beetle was first identified here in 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really quite a tragedy to see the number of trees

Environment committee chairwoman Coun. Maria McRae and Mayor Jim Watson plant a new tree in a yard on Southmore Drive East on Sept. 24 after giving an update on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emerald ash borer strategy.
Public forum The Federation of Citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Associations (FCA) is holding a free public forum and panel discussion about the emerald ash borer in Ottawa. It will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 9 starting at 6 p.m. at the Overbrook Community Centre, 33 Quill St. lost,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Jim Watson, adding he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see Ottawa lose its reputation as a green city. The city has already injected 2,309 trees with an insecticide called Tree Azin, including 262 new trees as part of $1 million in extra EAB funding approved by city council in
July. The city expects to have 4,000 to 5,000 trees on a twoyear inoculation cycle by the end of 2013. Some trees canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be saved by Tree Azin insecticide injections at a cost of $200 to $400 per tree, so the city has a strategy to plant a variety of species to replace them.

The city will have planted just shy of 4,000 new trees in 2012 by this fall: 1,267 trees were planted along streets and in parks this spring, and another 2,700 will be planted this fall thanks to the rest of that $1 million in extra funding. Many of those trees will be larger 50 millimetre diameter trees, which residents have said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re rather see than the 25 millimetre diameter trees the city has been planting. The city will send a notice to residents on streets where planting will occur before planting a new tree beside a dying ash tree. If the tree is a city tree on private property, that property owner will be a second notice before the city comes to plant the new tree, and a marker will be placed on their lawn to show them where the new tree will go. In the future, McRae hinted that the city would be open to adding a new tool into its arsenal: biological pests. Wasps are being used to fight the emerald ash borer in Minnesota, and Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forester is watching to see if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something worth talking about for this city. Infested ash wood will no longer be shipped or stored at the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trail Road landfill site. Ottawa Cedar Lumber, a company located just east of Ottawa, successfully bid to sort of process the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ash wood. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency also signed off on the bid. According to the city, the family company at 2188 Dunning Rd. in Cumberland operates a sawmill and has been producing rough-cut wood and large volumes of wood chips for the past eight years. Owner Luc Laplante said he plans to turn much of the usable wood into lumber for flooring or furniture, but the city has discussed buying back some of the wood at a reduced rate to be used in the future light rail stations, perhaps for benches or wood paneling. The leftovers can be turned into chips for co-generation energy production. Signing on with Ottawa Cedar Lumber will reduce the risk of spreading the bugs by minimizing the processing time and moving the wood directly to the processing site. The city also expects the tipping cost fees of 30 per cent to drop.

Ottawa set to roll dice on new OLG casino Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Mayor Jim Watson is backing a new casino for Ottawa and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ask the rest of city council to do the same. The mayor took to Twitter to announce his support for an Ottawa casino on Sept. 24. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will ask council to signal interest, in principle, in a new gaming facility (no location yet). This would allow the (Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation) to seek proposals,â&#x20AC;? the mayor stated through his Twitter account, @JimWatsonOttawa. An Ottawa casino would help the city earn more revenue at a time when aging infrastructure costs are creeping up, Watson said. He is proposing to spend revenue from a new casino equally on infrastruc-
ture renewal, job creation and economic development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every Ottawa dollar spent at the Gatineau casino is a dollar lost for Ottawa taxpayers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is time that we repatriate that money and use it to create jobs here in Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? Watson said in the statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With infrastructure challenges and federal job cuts in Ottawa, we cannot miss out on a tremendous opportunity like this.â&#x20AC;? From Casino Lac-Leamy in nearby Gatineau to churchbasement bingos, gambling is already available and prevalent, Watson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My view is, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repatriate some of that money from Quebec and put it into the Ontario economy through jobs, economic development and to help pay for some of our infrastructure,â&#x20AC;? Watson said. The mayor added that Ottawa has the â&#x20AC;&#x153;worst of both
worldsâ&#x20AC;? right now because gambling revenue goes to Gatineau and Quebec across the river, while Ottawa and Ontario must fund gambling addiction programs for citizens who use the Lac-Leamy facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said all along that my preference would be close to transit and the urban core,â&#x20AC;? Watson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t preclude someone from out at the airport, or downtown, or the raceway from putting a bid together.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what the Rideau-Carleton Raceway intends to do, said spokesman Alex Lawryk. The raceway already has an existing facility and room for parking, which would make it much cheaper to add to and convert into a casino, he said, adding that gambling in this region might not be prevalent
enough to support a multi-million dollar investment in a new facility. A location wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be decided until the second phase and it would be up to possible casino developers to propose a location. The city would have the final say over rezoning a site to accommodate a new gambling facility. Officials from Ottawa Tourism and the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce chimed in on the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s press release, stating that a gaming facility could drive economic development and increase tourism in the
city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An Ottawa gaming facility could bring tremendous economic benefits to existing Ottawa businesses,â&#x20AC;? David Donaldson, chairman of the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce, said in the statement sent out by the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Proceeding in this process will make potential investors confident that the City of Ottawa is willing to consider a proposal.â&#x20AC;? Members of the public were set to have a chance to voice their opinions on a possible Ottawa casino during a finance
and economic development committee meeting on Oct. 2, after this newspaperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadline. In an unusual move, the meeting was held in the evening to make it easier for residents to come to city hall and participate in the discussion. A report directing city staff to â&#x20AC;&#x153;research the economic benefitsâ&#x20AC;? of a gaming facility and consult Ottawa Public Health will be presented during that meeting. The committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation will be considered by full city council on Oct. 10. If it gets the thumbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up, Watson would write to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to signal that the city would support a new gaming facility in principle.

Newcomers share business success stories Future entrepreneurs learn what it takes to start a business in Ottawa Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com
EMC news - From computers to cupcakes, new Canadians have become Ottawa’s entrepreneurs. Newcomers to Canada who hope to become business owners received a large dose of inspiration at a networking event hosted by Ottawa Centre MP Paul Dewar and the Ottawa Public Library on Sept. 25. More than 150 people travelled to Ben Franklin Place in Nepean to learn about starting a business. The event was aimed at new Canadians because Dewar’s office noticed so many newcomers tend to search for the same information. “We were getting the same requests over and over,” Dewar said. “Usually we send them to the resources and then we thought, ‘Let’s pull these people together and show them what’s available.’” The city’s hub for business questions and answers is Invest Ottawa, but the evening’s would-be entrepreneurs also had a chance to chart with representatives of micro-loan programs, local and federal
organizations and the library. Visitors heard a few success stories from people who, like them, once dreamed of starting their own business. A panel of five entrepreneurs – all newcomers to Canada at some point – gave advice and answered questions from an audience that seemed to hang on every word. Common themes were passion for the chosen field of work and the support of family, along with thorough research prior to a business launch. Claudia Arizmendi of the Cupcake Lounge moved to Ottawa from Mexico in 1994. She started baking part-time at home and decided to switch to full-time. She attended Algonquin College to learn the culinary skills she’d need. Arizmendi said she started gathering information and had her business plan reviewed by what is now Invest Ottawa and made the changes the experts suggested. With the help of a loan, the Cupcake Lounge opened in 2011 in the Byward Market. “We broke all projections,” Arizmendi said, adding the shop has 15 employees and served 50,000 customers last
NEVIL HUNT/METROLAND
Glow Beauty Spa owner Jean Naim, right, chats with would-be entrepreneurs following a Sept. 25 panel discussion about starting a business. Naim said she sometimes felt overwhelmed but has seen sales grow while gaining plenty of experience. year. Her advice: “Go back to school if you need to. Have your plan reviewed and make changes.” Xuening Chen arrived here from China and worked in high-tech before starting a retail computer business in 1990. He sold that company in 2006. Between those years he
learned that his then-limited English communications skills made it critical to find a local partner who could approach corporate customers, and sales to companies eventually eclipsed retail sales to individual consumers. Columbian émigré Jaime Baquero said he has been successful because he works on something he is passionate
about: coral reefs. In order to succeed in Canada, Baquero said he needed to learn English and French, so took work in retail. Once he could better communicate with his fellow Canadians, he volunteered with a group that protects reefs and has since made a living by starting a company that maintains aquariums.
“Canada is a country of opportunities,” Baquero said. “The key is passion and the support of your family.” Baquero also preached conservative economics to any future entrepreneur. “Don’t spend more than you can afford,” he said. Ottawa library CEO Danielle McDonald said new Canadians have a tendency to start their business inquiries at their local library branch, and as a result, Ottawa’s librarians have learned what helps their customers. Ottawa’ libraries have also developed programs that can help newcomers, such as workshops on English conversation and career development. Dewar said the networking event successfully matched people with the information they need if they decide to go into business for themselves. “It’s not just about different levels of government putting out programs, but making sure they make sense,” he said. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson encouraged visitors to get in touch with Invest Ottawa; what he called one-stop shopping for businesspeople. The office at 80 Aberdeen St. can provide advice and arrange contacts within the provincial and federal governments. Invest Ottawa can be contacted at investottawa.ca or 613-828-6274.

Plenty to be thankful for this time of year
E
very day back in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;30s, according to Mother, was a day of thanksgiving. Looking back, there was indeed much to be thankful for. And as Thanksgiving is upon us, perhaps it is appropriate that those things we took for granted so many years ago, should be remembered. So what are some of the memories of those Depression years that have lasted through the decades? Those that in recalling them have me wondering what has happened to what we took for granted so long ago? Let me turn back the clock and take you back to a more gentle time, as I recall with thankfulness lessons learned and a way of life that was more safe and secure. I will be forever grateful that I lived in a time when it was perfectly safe to walk five kilometres of back country roads to a school without fear. Even in the cities so far away children felt secure and a motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warning was not to be wary of strangers, but rather to keep out of the ditches of water so that we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch our deaths of cold. I am thankful I lived in
MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories an era where the owner of the general store trusted his customers. Where you filled your own bag of cookies, put it on the scale yourself and had the cost added to your motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill which hung on a nail behind the counter. And if you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money to pay for your groceries, you could offer a trade. Sometimes weeks would go by and no money changed hands. It was a time when a young child was taught that honesty was all a part of doing business. I am thankful today that I grew up in an era where a deal was made with the simple shake of a hand and it was binding. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a lawyer to draw up papers to trade a couple head of cattle for an old Model T or a load of hay or to exchange a steer or a few loads of gravel for
your first car. Today, I am thankful I grew up in a home where there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of money for frivolities. It was a time when we children made our own fun. Toys from a piece of whittled wood, playthings like empty spools of thread, a button box and Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue, all filling hours of fun and not costing a penny. I am thankful today that because we lived in a house overflowing with aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandparents, I learned at an early age what it meant to be tolerant. I was taught that it was more blessed to give than receive. In giving up our bed for an elderly aunt, Mother reminded us how the aunt enriched our lives with her stories, her hand-knitted mitts, and pans of Johnny Cake, the best I have ever tasted.
Today, I am thankful we had a wonderful doctor who would drive out from Renfrew, plowing through snow and blinding rain and whose only pay might be a dressed chicken or a couple dozen eggs and some fresh butter. I remember him sitting by the bed of a very sick little girl until the dawn crept into my bedroom window and my fever broke. I am thankful today that I grew up in a home where every child had a special worth. Where even the youngest was made to feel important and daily chores, done to a parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s satisfaction, was all part of growing up. We were taught that it was all right to fail, and that from each failure came a lesson. This is the legacy handed down to us by a generation of people who, although never rich in material wealth, were rich in the things that mattered. This is the time to be thankful for that era that made us what we are today and to be truly thankful for all the blessings we enjoy today living in a free and bountiful country. May each of you have a happy Thanksgiving.

Leduc said he encourages citizens to take a course and familiarize themselves with CPR, first aid and defibrillator procedures no matter who teaches the course. He said that five minutes of proper first aid can be the difference between life and death. The Community CPR Project offers courses and has a foundation to provide subsidized or free training for low-income participants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one should have any obstacles to taking those classes,â&#x20AC;? Leduc said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People like Linda who are willing to make the move, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we need.â&#x20AC;? City of Ottawa first aid courses can be found online at http://ottawa.ca/en/health_ safety/emergency/firstaid/ courses/index.html and Community CPR Project can be reached at 613-700-5164 or by email at communitycpr@ bell.net.

EMC news - An OrlĂŠans woman got a good deed paid forward when a local company agreed to recertify her first aid training for free after she told them about her life-saving efforts only days earlier. Linda Verreault, who lives in Charlemagne village, was contacted by the Community CPR and Prevention Project to see about recertifying her skills, but told the company that the cost was too steep. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money right now,â&#x20AC;? she said she told the representative on the phone. Verreault, who works with children and adults with various disabilities and has used her first aid training while at work, is currently working part-time. But after she told the rep she had used skills she learned in a previous CPR certification course to help save a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life just days earlier, the rep tried to see what could be done. Verreault then got a call saying the company would let her take the certification course for free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tell you what, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll talk to my boss and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll call you back,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Verreault said on Sept. 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I start tonight, a free CPR course. They said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re paying it forward.â&#x20AC;? Verreault said she was shopping at the St. Laurent Centre when a woman started screaming that her small child had stopped breathing. Verreault, then in a change room, quickly threw on her clothes and ran out to see what was happening. The child had a very high temperature and started hav-

Sweet chop suey loaf is far from Chinese fare
O
n one of our visits to Jeffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents, his mother and I went shopping in the local supermarket. In the bakery section, we came across a loaf of bread called a chop suey loaf. We could see that it contained fruit, not Chinese vegetables, and decided to give it a try. With a soft texture and bits of candied fruit scattered through each slice, it was delicious, plain or toasted. After some experimenting when I got home, I came up with a similar loaf that I could make in my bread machine. To make this, use the diced candied fruit that you use in holiday baking. The recipe calls for skim milk powder and water. In some recipes, you can substitute milk for the dry milk powder, but not in this one. Milk makes the loaf dense, while the skim milk powder gives a much lighter texture.
PAT TREW Food â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Stuff room temperature â&#x20AC;˘ 2 1/3 cups flour â&#x20AC;˘ 1 cup candied fruit â&#x20AC;˘ 1/4 cup raisins â&#x20AC;˘ 1 1/4 tsp. bread machine yeast Before you start, measure the candied fruit into a sieve and rinse it under cold water to remove excess sugar or syrup. Spread the fruit on two sheets of paper towel and blot up as much of the water as you can. Set aside. If your machine has an â&#x20AC;&#x153;extrasâ&#x20AC;? option allowing the user to add fruit or nuts automatically, measure the raisins into that section. If it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, you will have to add the raisins later. Place the water, milk powder, egg, salt, sugar and butter in the bread machine pan in that order. After measuring the ďŹ&#x201A;our, use about two tablespoons of it to lightly dust the candied fruit.

Place the remaining ďŹ&#x201A;our in the bread pan and then add the ďŹ&#x201A;oured fruit. Leave a small area free of fruit, and measure the yeast into that spot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the yeast sticking to the fruit and not mixing into the batter. Set the bread machine for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweetâ&#x20AC;? cycle or on some machines itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fruit and nutâ&#x20AC;? cycle. If it has the automatic â&#x20AC;&#x153;extrasâ&#x20AC;? feature, press the â&#x20AC;&#x153;extrasâ&#x20AC;? button. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the â&#x20AC;&#x153;delayâ&#x20AC;? cycle. This recipe makes a 1.5pound loaf. If your bread machine has a setting for different loaf sizes, press the one for this size. Start the machine. If your machine doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the â&#x20AC;&#x153;extrasâ&#x20AC;? feature, it will beep when it is time to add extras. Add the raisins and let the machine continue until the bread is done. Remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool for an hour before serving.

Donations needed for clothing drive
Councillor
Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
Beacon Hill-Cyrville
EMC news - The Vanier Community Service is looking for the community’s support to help make its annual clothing drive a success. The clothing drive will take place at 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 12 at the Knights of Columbus at 260 McArthur Ave. Participating families will receive a garbage bag and 20 minutes to go around the tables, choosing as much as they can fit in the bag – for free. Donated clothing will be accepted at the Vanier Community Resource Centre, at 290 Dupuis St. until Oct. 11. The annual event brings community volunteers to the centre since the beginning of September to help sort, size and pack the clothing leading up to the day. On Oct. 12, families can come from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. to collect their clothes. More information about the clothing drive or to donate residents can Barra Thiom at the Vanier Community Resource Centre at 613-744-2896 .
Councillor Community Update With the little ones headed back to school, ensuring that we take our time on the streets is important. On August 31, 2012 I had the opportunity to ride along with Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau. As we toured the ward we noted many of the issues about which you have been emailing or phoning my office. Speeding tops off the list, and I ask that you drive prudently and observe the speed limits and signs to ensure the safety of others. Police will be visible in the community over the next weeks and will issue tickets to speeders, especially in school zones. Sensplex East In my last community update I mentioned the fact that we were looking for community partners in building a recreation complex in the east end of the city. As you probably are aware by now, the Ottawa Community Ice Partners (in association with the Ottawa Senators), the same partnership which brought us the Sensplex in Kanata have stepped forward and see an opportunity in the east, in Beacon Hill dubbed the 'Sensplex East'. It's still very early in the process, however we are working to get the best deal for residents, and will keep you up to date on progress. I have received a number of inquiries regarding Shoppers City East. At this time the City has had no applications for development nor have they been in discussions with the property owners.
As always, it is a privilege to serve the communities of Beacon Hill-Cyrville and I look forward to meeting you in the neighbourhood.

New community facilitation book to enable social change Local women’s group releases grassroots guidebook Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC community - Ottawa women who have made the journey from being disenfranchised to leading cityhall consultation groups want to tell you their secrets. Members of the City for All Women Initiative are a diverse group of women with varying cultural backgrounds, many of whom are refugees or have overcome abuse and now hold an ear at city hall. They have worked on a consultation strategy for the city’s recreation master plan, which is underway, and they helped develop an equity and inclusion lens that is used to judge how city reports address diversity and inclusion issues. The initiative’s latest project is a new book, Community Facilitation Guide: Weaving Threads of Change. Members know better than anyone that encouraging change at city hall is as much of an art as a science. “Now in the City of Ottawa there are many changes
in policies,” said Valerie Assoi, a staffer for the initiative who helped author the book. “When there in change in policies, the city wants to know what the community feels … How (is city hall) going to know that if they don’t have people there (in the community)?” That’s where the City for All Women Initiative’s training – and the book – come in. While the city may not have the resources to reach out to every facet of the community, the initiative can train and give people the skills to become facilitators in their communities and take those issues to city hall and decision makers. After refining their approach through community facilitator workshops run by the initiative starting in 2010, the members decided to compile their knowledge into a practical guide in order to offer it to other communitybased organizations, governments and companies that want to learn how to facilitate community engagement and build skills at the grassroots level. “This is helping to empower ourselves, our communities and future generations,” said Tina Viscent, one of the book’s authors.
The book provides an overview of the initiative’s approach to social change education and includes tips, exercises and handouts for facilitating workshops. Most importantly to the City for All Women Initiative, the guide offers straightforward and practical tools for including the voices of a diverse population, including immigrants, aboriginal peoples, francophone, people with disabilities and those living in poverty. “This book is the story of threading all of the experiences of the people who contributed,” said Terri-Lee Rayvals-Mele, one of the authors who contributed to the guide. “It is a weaving of diversity, expertise and learning.” Community engagement professionals who had a hand in advising the project said they were very impressed by the practicality of the book and the level of detail. Aaron Burry, the city’s general manager of community and social services, said the initiative’s approach has proved beneficial for the city and he is happy to see the guide made available to other groups who could have the same impact thanks to the initiative’s advice. “We have had a chance to

Boards would offer a permanent place for residents to share events, info Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - One Vanier resident aims to bring the community together one bulletin board at a time. Stefan Cherry announced his idea of creating a wooden and Plexiglas encased community bulletin boards at the Sept. 10 Vanier Community Association meeting. The goal is to reach out to residents who are not always sitting in front of a computer, where most of the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcements are made via a website or Facebook page. Board members and residents both agreed the idea was interesting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They would be neighbourhood community boards, where people could post events and share news with the community,â&#x20AC;? Cherry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is another
way of getting communication out, it is about reaching out to people who at the moment we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reaching.â&#x20AC;? Association board member Gyulia Borbely agreed the idea could work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there were boards I would deďŹ nitely be interested in being one of the caretakers,â&#x20AC;? Borbely said. Cherry said the boards will also offer a cleaner, more controlled option to spread Vanierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s news. The idea is to have a lock and key for the community bulletin boards, to ensure ďŹ&#x201A;yers and posters can be posted and remain posted until the event is complete. With the association impressed with the idea, Cherry attended the Vanier BeautiďŹ cation meeting on Sept. 18 for input from that groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members. The feedback he received,
again, was all positive. The goal is to have the community boards built at minimal costs by enlisting the help and talents of local high school students. Cherry said he ďŹ&#x201A;oated the idea to Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School in the winter, where students were keen to participate having already participated in building community garden boxes for Vanier in the spring. Early in the progress of getting the word out, Cherry has taken it upon himself to speak to some of the recreation centres in the neighbourhood, including the Richelieu-Vanier Community Centre, which, he reported was very interested in the idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said we could have one somewhere in the park,â&#x20AC;? he said. The next step for Cherry is to meet with Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury to formally present the idea. The goal is to build one, monitor its success, and build more from there.

Attention: Your dog wants to eat, go outside or wants your undivided attention. Boredom/Frustration: If your dog is left outside day and night, crated or conďŹ ned to one room all the time. Fear: your dog is afraid of objects, people, places, other animals, or loud noises such as thunder and ďŹ reworks. Your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s posture can tell you if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s barking out of fear. Typically his ears are back, and his tail is held low. Territorial: If your dog barks in the presence of â&#x20AC;&#x153;intruders,â&#x20AC;?
ID#147896 This neutered male, brindle coloured Doberman Pinscher/Boxer mix is approximately 8 months old. He was brought to the shelter as a stray on August 28, 2012 and is now looking for a forever home. Target enjoys playing with his canine pals and would be happy in a home with another dog, provided they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still learning how to share toys. He has lots of energy and is in search of a family that can help him expend that energy. A tired dog is a good dog! He gets along well with children 12 years and older who have grown with dogs and understand that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not done his training yet. Target will need crate training as well to keep him secure and items safe when he is unattended. His obedience training must be continued, and at this stage of training apartment living is not recommended for him. which may include people and other dogs in adjacent yards, his posture appears threatening with his tail held high and his ears up and forward. Play and Excitement: If your dog is barking with a wagging tail wanting to greet people in a friendly way. Health: Older dogs may have Canine Cognitive Dysfunction or deafness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and may bark because they are unable to hear themselves. Dogs with health issues Some dogs bark because of age-related dementia or deafness. Be patient with your dog. Keep his environment simple and orderly; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make frequent changes.

help the dementia. Teach your deaf dog the â&#x20AC;&#x153;quietâ&#x20AC;? command using hand signals or a ďŹ&#x201A;ash of light or a vibrating collar (NOT a shock collar) as the cue instead of saying the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;quiet.â&#x20AC;? If you have multiple dogs If you share your home and your life with more than one dog, you know how they can set each other off. The doorbell rings and deafening, out-ofcontrol barking ensues. You must train each dog individually before you can work with them as a group. It takes a little more effort to settle your pack of wild hounds, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be rewarded with a group of well-mannered dogs. And your friends and relatives will no longer dread coming to your house!

Barking: Why Dogs Sound Off Dogs have a lot to say, and they do it by barking. They bark to go out, come in, to tell you a strangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in your yard, and at people, cars, and other animals. Too much barking or barking at inappropriate times can be a problem. You want to be respectful of your neighbours as well as local laws, so you need to get your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s barking under control. Reasons for barking You may need to do some clever detective work to determine why your dog barks, especially if it occurs when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not home. Ask your neighbours what they see and hear. Go around the block and watch and listen, or start a tape recorder or video camera when

ID#A146478 This neutered male, chocolate Labrador Retriever is about 3 years old. He was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on July 26, 2012. Tank loves to play with his toys! Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still learning to play more gently with them, but he could play all day long. Tank has a busy body and an active mind, so he requires more demanding exercise and mental stimulation to keep him respectful in his home. For now, Tank should be in an adult-only home until he has some additional training. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather not live with other dogs, but he has lived with a cat. Tank will need to be enrolled in obedience classes before his adoption can be completed. This will ensure he has the proper structure and discipline needed to be a good canine citizen.
