Neil Young, Patti Smith to open Folk Fest

ing one for the former politician, who was elected leader of the Ontario Liberal Party in 1996, before taking over the reins as premier in 2003. His office was also flooded with questions after it was discovered emails his political staffers had received were erased, according to media reports.

EMC news - Neil Young and Crazy Horse will rock the opening night of the Folk Festival on Sept. 4. The festival’s executive programming director Mark Monahan announced the lineup of the 20th edition of the event on June 11. Monahan said organizers added a day on the fourth because they landed the Canadian rocker for opening night. In the three years Monahan has overseen the event, he said he has seen the audience grow in numbers. It has also become more diverse and younger. Part of the reason for that, he said, was subsidized student passes available at the city’s two universities and Algonquin College. “We already have agreements with the University of Ottawa and Algonquin,” Monahan said. “We are just finalizing with Carleton.” Acts like Vampire Weekend, Amos the Transparent, The Sheepdogs and the Carolina Chocolate Drops are also aimed at bringing in a younger crowd. Names like Neil Young, Pattie Smith and Emmylou Harris help the festival stick to its folk roots. The five-day event will kick off at Hog’s Back on Sept. 4 and close on Sept. 8 – a little bit later than its been held in the past, but Monahan said he isn’t worried about the weather. “One of the rainiest festivals was when it was held in the third week of August,” he said. “Obviously you run a risk when its an outdoor festival but we had a look at the forecast and things are pretty similar weather-wise in the first couple of weeks in September.”

EMC news - Dalton McGuinty resigned on June 12 as MPP for Ottawa South. The former premier, who announced his resignation as Liberal leader in February had been the subject of scrutiny from the opposition due to his absence

in the legislature. However, when he stepped down as premier, he maintained he would stay on as MPP for Ottawa South until the next election. “I leave politics with my idealism intact and a deep sense of gratitude for the opportunity to have served in public life,” he said in a statement.

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

His successor, Premier Kathleen Wynne, praised McGuinty for his

years in office. “Unbowed by the challenges of his office, he always had a family anecdote, a historical reference and a charming turn-of-phrase to put things in perspective,� Wynne said in a statement. “Earlier this year, he wrote me a letter encouraging my commitment to conversations in which he quoted the Greek statesman, Pericles, who described continued discussion as an ‘indispensable preliminary to any wise action at all.’ I have always valued Dalton’s counsel and look forward to our continued discussions as I endeavour to build on his many wise actions.� Liberal supporter and South resident Clarence Montigny said he was disappointed to see McGuinty leave politics. “It’s too bad,� he said. “I thought he would have more guts, in a way, to take the heat, but he probably did the right thing when it comes down to it. He’s done a lot of good things in our community, and whenever I’ve met him, he was always a nice guy – a real family guy. Makes me proud to be a Liberal.�

Beginning June 27, 2013, the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) will collect the observational recordings of the race of drivers involved in trafďŹ c stops for a two-year period. Drivers will not be asked to identify their race. The focus of the project is ofďŹ cer perception of driver race. Passengers are not included in the study. This project is the result of an agreement between the Ottawa Police Services Board and the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC).

The OHRC and the OPS believe that race-based data collection is important in ensuring bias-free policing services. The data will be provided to the OHRC at the end of the two-year collection period. It will be limited to information required for analysis. The data will not include any personal identiďŹ ers of drivers. The project will be the largest of its kind in Canada.

The event builds community while raising funds for Care Canada, which is Hawthorne Student Action Council’s charity of choice this year, selected by a student vote. Students researched and made presentations on a variety of charities and were impressed with Care Canada’s low operational overhead. “This is our second year doing this and we are really looking forward to it,” said Marnie Patterson. “Everyone has a lot of fun and we help develop community and citizenship through awareness of charity and giving.”

CHEO set to make difference with new strategic plan sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

EMC News – The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario believes the future belongs to children, youth and the aging society. To address these growing demographics, the CHEO has designed a long-term strategic approach to better suit their needs. “The child and youth population is growing, and there’s a lot of concern about the aging society,” said CHEO’s President and CEO Alex Munter. The region’s child and youth population will grow by 20 per cent over the next two decades, said Munter, meaning there will be 70,000 more children than what there is today. In turn, the organization will have to deal with the demand for more service. The strategic approach also looks at creating shorter waiting lists for surgery and appointments with specialists and in emergency, as well as having the ability to book one’s own appointment online, getting test results explained understandable, and allowing patients the ability to access their own health information. “Today’s kids are tomorrow’s parents, caregivers, taxpayers, workers,” he said. “In the centre of an aging society, children and youth matter more than we know. It really is about tomorrow.” CHEO, the largest pediatric and research centre in Eastern Ontario, is aiming to improve its focus and impact over the next 10 years, said Munter. Recently, the hospital unveiled CHEOnet, the hospital’s largest and most extensive strategic plan to date since opening its doors in 1974.

CHEO president and CEO Alex Munter says children, youth, and serniors are the top demographics CHEO will focus on during the next 10 years as part of their strategic plan. The centre’s management enaged in discussions with staff, physicians, experts, partners, and most importantly, patients and their families, to build a new plan for the hospital. “We looked ahead at what we need to do to stay ahead of the curve,” he said. “We’re at a real interesting tipping point. We are still small enough to change, but big enough to make a difference.” While CHEO is at the leading edge of patient care and medicine, they need to find ways to preserve that momentum and live up tot hat vision, said

Munter. Essentially, there are five different pillars the strategic plan will focus on: providing an exceptional patient experience, staying connected within the community and CHEO, using evidence to improve health care standrads, making the best use of their assets to advance their mission, and fostering a “one team” approach. With medicine and technology rapidly evolving, the strategic plan sets out the framework for how the hospital can enter into its fifth decade prepared for the future.

The seven-month process for developing the strategic plan also looks at finding ways to connect with the entire community – that is, exploring the different partnerships available in the community, utilizing technology to share information within and outside the hospital’s walls, and coordinating care for children with the most complex medical needs. The plan also looks at embedding service into everything the hospital does, including creating a learning environment focused on continuous improvement, increasing the number of patients involved in clinical trials, setting specific objectives for key activities, and measuring progress so they can ensure they’re always improving. “We are on a journey from going to really good to really great,” said Munter. “This will build on our strength as an organization. We’ll continue to drive evidence and research into what we do.” But of course, part of what makes CHEO such a successful organization is due in large part to its team of health care professionals and staff. Down the road, CHEO will provide its staff with opportunities to innovate, create and make improvements to how they do things. They’ll also provide training and support to help staff take advantage of the latest technology, some of whom are the best in the world, he added. “CHEO researchers are in the top six per cent of research globally,” said Munter. “The impact of their work is felt around the world.” Munter said they’ll monitor how well they are doing every 90 days, using a balance scorecard to keep track of their progress.

A rose by any other name

L

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

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

Neighbourhood summer events prove it’s always nicer outside

T

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

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

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

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

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

Capital Muse And as a May 2012 Huffington Post blog pointed out, perhaps the biggest problem is that there isn’t actually a rulebook or manual for Facebook usage. Every single one of us approaches the medium with a different expectation of how it’s meant to be used. I, for one, think Facebook is the worst medium for having any kind of authentic, emotional conversation. Others don’t share this opinion. Case in point: I received a nasty Facebook message from an older relative last week. I hadn’t received a message from this person since 2007. When I opened the messages on mobile, the feed came through in a single blob. Something along the lines of, “How are your babies

(plural, which confused me because it was actually a six-year-old message), followed by a cryptic note saying, in a nutshell, “Don’t send anyone in my family messages because we don’t need information from you.” When I received this message, I was confused. I had come to the message in a very positive mood. I also hadn’t messaged anyone on Facebook for nearly a week, so I wasn’t sure to what “family messages” the relative referred. As one does in these situations, I sent back a question mark symbol, the lazy, social media way of asking for more information. I’ve been burned by Facebook messaging before. Particularly when there’s a generational divide or some sort of emotional content, I’ve learned these things are best dealt with person-to-person. I asked the relative to call me so we could sort out the misunderstanding. She didn’t call. The result? It ate away at me

We couldn’t handle it. She wasn’t using Facebook properly, according to my own standard. I wasn’t using Facebook properly, according to her standards. The honeymoon phase of Facebook is over. While many of us came at the social medium with gusto, friending every high school ex, work acquaintance and relative, it’s time to start weeding out the contact list. When deciding who to keep, ask yourself this, “can you handle being Facebook friends?” Look into your crystal ball. What are the possibilities of offending or alienating each person, and more importantly, what are the consequences if it all blows up? Facebook is not about truth. It’s about the public representation of oneself. If you like to use Facebook to complain about work or clients, it’s probably

best to get your boss and colleagues (and clients) off your friends list. If your family members get annoyed every time you post something, it’s time to hit the unfriend button. There are many other, better ways of communicating with family and close friends. If you’re not ready to start eliminating people from your list, try to be a little more discerning – both in how you send and receive messages and in who you allow to be part of your public platform. Communications 101 tells us that there is frequently a divide between what you intend to communicate in a message and how it’s received. If you’re not checking back with people frequently to make sure they’ve received your message as intended, you could be setting yourself up for a storm.

Ottawa’s memory keepers celebrated for perseverance Sabine Gibbins Sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

EMC News – In 1985, the nearest hospital that provided dementia care for Ottawa residents was located in Brockville, Ont. Back then, patients seeking dementia care in Ottawa were admitted to a psychiatric hospital. “There was no place for them to go for them to deal with this (dementia),” said Dr. Tony Guzman, a retired neurologist. Now, there is hope for these patients, thanks to Tony and his wife Carole’s efforts to help those with dementia receive treatment in their hometown. Tony established the Memory Disorder Clinic at the Ottawa General Hospital, which years later was relocated to the Elisabeth Bruyere Hospital. In recognition of their contribution to the cause of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, the couple SABINE GIBBINS/METROLAND was honoured at the Alzheimer Soci- Seeing this as an opportunity to change the medical landscape, former renowned neurologist Dr. Tony ety of Ottawa and Renfrew County’s Guzman, seen here with his wife Carole, established the Memory Disorder Clinic at the Ottawa General annual general meeting on Thursday, Hospital before moving years later to the Elisabeth Bruyere Hospital.

“This is a big social problem.” Volunteering her time to these organizations has allowed her to see what’s happening in the medical field, and what changes could come down the line. “I wanted to keep my finger in it, and do something meaningful,” Carole added. She applauds the Alzheimer society for their service to the community, and for being there for patients. “It’s fantastic because as soon as they think they have a problem, they can put them in touch with someone who can help,” she said. “If they need a support group, they’ll find one.” Education is a key part of the task going forward, she added. “There is still a stigma about it,” Carole said. “It’s lessening, but it’s still there. All you need is someone to have it to understand it.” DEDICATION

The Guzmans say they could not have been successful without the help of the community and health care professionals. “We are very flattered,” said Carole. “We’ve worked with many people who have helped make a difference in Ottawa.” At the AGM last Wednesday, a framed citation was presented to the Guzmans by executive director Kathy Wright. In her remarks, she recognized them for the exceptional contribution they gave to the organization. “The Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County is pleased to honour Drs. Tony and Carole Guzman for their significant contributions in the field of dementia over the last few decades,” said Wright. “They have done so much for so many; Dr. Tony Guzman in cofounding the Memory Disorder Clinic and working tirelessly to keep it functioning despite limited resources and Dr. Carol Guzman for her extensive support as a volunteer in various roles including board president of the Alzheimer Society.” “They are an amazing couple. They are dedicated, compassionate, kind, humble, and an inspiration to me and all those who know them. “ R0022158693

CITY TO PARTICIPATE IN HIRE A VETERAN PROGRAM I was pleased that City Council supported my motion to encourage the City of Ottawa to participate in Veterans Affairs Canada – Hire a Veteran Program. The program is aimed at assisting in the transitioning from military careers to the civilian workforce. The City can now help bridge the gap for retired veterans seeking re-entry into the workforce. Each year between 4,000 and 5,000 men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces leave the military at an average age of 37 years. These veterans have transferable skills and talents in areas such as planning, teamwork, communication, management, leadership and skilled trades. City of Ottawa Career Alerts will be shared with Veterans Affairs Canada for vacant employment opportunities posted on the City’s website. If a veteran is interested in an employment opportunity with the City of Ottawa, he or she can apply to the job posting in the same manner as any other prospective employee.

RIVERSIDE SOUTH CANADA DAY EVENT Residents are invited to come out and enjoy a fun-filled Canada Day event in Riverside South. This year, the community Canada Day event will take place at Claudette Cain Park, 660 River Road, from 10am-2pm. There will be a variety of activities for children of all ages. There will also be a BBQ for residents to enjoy. The Riverside South Community Association is looking for volunteers to help out at the event. For more information, please visit www.riversidesouth.org. I would like to thank the Riverside South Community Association once again for their leadership in organizing this community event.

EMC Events – Get ready for a truly Canadian celebration. The Riverside South Community Association will once again be hosting their annual Canada Day festivities in Claudette Cain Park for the second year in a row. As event coordinator Lesia Gilbert puts it, the event will be one the whole family will enjoy. Hot off celebrating their 10th annual event last year, the game plan for this year will be much of the same, she said. The move from the Rideauview Community Centre to Claudette Cain Park was one of the best moves the association could make, Gilbert added. “There was not enough space at the community centre to hold the event and the number of people,� she explained. “We got a lot more people last year than we could at the community centre.� Last year, the event saw at least 2,000 people attend the myriad of festivities, which includes everything from stage acts to face painting to a petting zoo to cake. “This year we have 10 different rides and games, which is more than last year,� she said. Also at the festivities will be an opportunity for people to sign up for memberships, which were a popular spot to be in last year. “The lineups were really long last year,� he said. As was the protocol last year, Fun Passes will be required for all participation in Canada Day activities for children two years of age and older. Children under two do not require a Fun Pass (and neither do the adults). Fun Passes are $5 per child for Riverside South association members, and members can purchase them on behalf of relatives and friends’ children accompanying them to the event. The cost to non-members is $10 per child. Entertainment this year will be headlined by Junkyard Symphony at 11 a.m. and Brad the

Rotary Club of Ottawa South takes to the greens to raise some green On Monday June 3 the Rotary Club of Ottawa South (RCOS) hosted its annual charity golf tournament at the Hunt and Golf Club. The event is a major fund raiser, and enables the RCOS to help support many local and international charities and worthy initiatives. For many years, the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation has been a benefactor, and enthusiastically participates in the tournament. Funds raised have supported specific projects and the purchase of advanced-technology equipment such as the CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System; which provides a pain-free, non-surgical option for patients who have inoperable or surgically complex tumors. Along with many other local Rotary clubs, RCOS is also supporting the Maplesoft Centre and its survivor programs — Canada’s first Cancer Survivorship Centre opened in 2011 and is located on Alta Vista Drive near Industrial Avenue.

Smiling through it all Young cancer survivor brings personal solo show to Fringe Fest stage Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - Noah Spitzer battled a rare form of thyroid cancer when he was only 16 years old. But instead of seeking support from his friends, brother and sister and extended family, he kept it a secret. It wouldn’t be until five years later that in the form of a one-man show he shared his story. Spitzer’s play, My Second Smile, will be at the Ottawa Fringe Festival at the Arts Court Theatre from June 21 to 30. Spitzer grew up in Overbrook and when he initially had the surgery to help save his life, he refrained from telling anyone how he got the smile-shaped scar on his neck. His mother, Laura Zentner, said it was because her son didn’t want his friends and younger siblings worry about him. In his final year at Ryerson University, Spitzer wrote the one-man play and performed it for the first time in front of his friends and family. The play was then picked up by an independent theatre company, Theatre Bassaris as its 2012-13 season opener. Spitzer produces and stars in the play. “This is the most emotional show I’ve ever done as an actor,” Spitzer said. “Since I’ve already lived so many of the moments in the play that said, it’s also the most fun I’ve had acting too.” Now 22 and back in Ottawa, Spitzer added he cannot wait to share his play with his hometown. “I think people can expect to laugh a lot

I hope that I can open up a dialogue about cancer in the Ottawa community.” Spitzer will donate 10 per cent of the proceeds to the Ottawa Hospital Foundation and will be hosting a talkback in the Fringe Courtyard on June 22 at 2 p.m. to

discuss some of the themes and answer questions about the play. He said he hopes to raise awareness for adolescent cancer with his show. Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door. For more information and to purchase tickets in advance, please visit ottawafringe.com.

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

Since then, the group has been working at putting the initial stage of the plan together. It wasn’t until the asso-

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

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

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

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Linda Hancock, president of the Ottawa South Community Association, talks about the results for the first community-wide survey conducted by the group. neighbourhood. “It’s about what can we live with and what can we not live with,� Hancock said.

The survey results indicated the biggest factors holding the community back from enacting significant change are: NIM-

BYism, fear of change, lack of community engagement, attitudes towards developers and a negative view of the city, province and National Capital Commission. Hancock said 13 per cent of the people who answered the survey were between the ages of 65 - 74 and that those individuals who wish to downsize do not have many options for staying in the neighbourhood. “There are aging baby boomers, who are talking about moving – we don’t have options to downsize and stay in our community,� she said. “I think that needs to be balanced so people can make that choice.� When it comes to how the community can approach this and other positive development issues, the president said she believes it is a matter of holding more consultations to discuss what residents want and what people can live with. “We need to keep the lines of communication open,� she said. This was the first time the community association has sent out a community-wide survey

and the results indicated that traffic and parking, infill development and transportation were all top priorities. Housing prices and environment issues were also mentioned. The association is currently celebrating its 35th anniversary this year and with that, this survey aims to help shape the strategic direction and future of the community for the next 20 years. Hancock said residents agreed in force that the future for better development and amenities relies with development on Bank Street. “We need to find more ways to support the businesses,� Hancock said. “People want those businesses to survive and want more development, something that needs to be addressed.� The survey wasn’t all about developments and intensification. It also focused on what residents enjoy and would like to see from its community programming. Walkability, a sense of community and amenities were named as what members of the community felt were great about the neighbourhood.

Many listed the fitness classes, the camp programs and children’s programs as great current programming and called for the Old Ottawa South community centre to add more programming for teens, adults and seniors. “There isn’t a lot for the older population to do, with programming and activities,� Hancock said. “It’s one gap we can fill.� The association’s next steps will be to follow-up on its survey results, which will include a draft vision, goals and priorities framework. In drafting this strategic framework, the association will look at its current programming, organizational structure and committees to see if there are any gaps the group may have missed, or is currently missing to reach the desires indicated in the survey. This will include a review of the group’s bylaws, policies and procedures, to ensure all are in support of the new framework. The board will present the draft strategic framework to the public in the fall.

Lloyd Griffith, left, who has worked as a trucker for more than 50 years, protests what he says is unfair treatment of Ontario truckers doing hauls in Quebec. Griffith is pictured with, from left, Ron Barr, spokesperson for the Greater Ottawa Truckers Association, Jack MacLaren, MPP for Carleton-Mississippi Mills and electrical contractor Walter Pamic. The quartet tried to raise awareness of MacLaren’s private members bill Fairness is a Two-Way Street, with a blockade of transport trucks on the Champlain Bridge on June 13.

Truckers demand equality during blockade on Champlain Bridge Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - In a bid to draw attention for his private members bill, Fairness is a Two-Way Street, CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren and a group of supporters shut down a lane of traffic on the Champlain Bridge June 13. The act – if it becomes law – would make construction

projects on the Ontario side of the Ottawa River off limits to Quebec-based firms. A similar law was enacted by the Harris government in 1999 but was repealed by the liberals in 2006. MacLaren was joined by long-time trucker Lloyd Griffith, who said having to compete with Quebec truckers who don’t pay taxes in Ontario makes it an uneven playing field. Walter Pamic, who owns

an electrical services company, said it was easier to send his employees to Nicaraugua and Poland then deal with the red tape when he tried to send people to Quebec. Ron Barr, who helped to organize the protest with MacLaren, is a spokesperson for the Greater Ottawa Trucking Association. He said many of the people he represents are having trouble making ends meet because Quebec truck-

ers don’t pay fees to work in Ontario, making it possible for them to underbid on jobs. Barr said he and MacLaren brought along a dozen trucks as a gesture, but he could get a lot more. “Obviously I don’t want to do that, but I could have brought a 100 trucks,” he said, adding protesting truckers could shut down the city. MacLaren’s bill has already gone through the first reading.

He expects it to go through second reading on Sept. 12 and become law by Christmas. “We had no intention of trying to stop (Quebec truckers and contractors) up until now,” McLaren said. “This will slam the door on Quebec. Quebecers will lose jobs but we are going to protect Ontario jobs.” MacLaren thanked College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, who is attempting to introduce a motion that would bar Quebec

construction companies from bidding on city jobs. Chiarelli wasn’t immediately available for comment, but he plans to bring the motion to a vote on June 26. Barr said he would continue to champion the cause of Ontario truckers to local politicians. “We need to take care of Ontario first,” he said. With files from Derek Dunn

Rockin’ fundraiser hits Manor Park this summer Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news- Manor Park is going to rock this summer, thanks to a local musician and a good fundraising cause. Penny Palooza, which will take place at Anthony Vincent Park in Manor Park on Aug. 11, was created by Peter Steele who was looking for a way to raise money for the Ottawa Hospital Breast Health Centre, where his neighbour and longtime friend Penny Thompson has been receiving treatment since being diagnosed with breast cancer late last year. “Everyone is Manor Park is aware of all the great things Penny (Thompson) has done in both as a leadership role for the community and as a neighbour and a friend,� Steele said. “We were all upset when we heard she was sick and thought we could help out.� As a musician, Steele said, it was easy to see how he could

help: “I thought we have this great park, why not put on a concert?� Steele’s band, the Lockhart Station, will perform along

“We live in a great neighbourhood, everyone pulls together and so many people are helping with the event.� PETER STEELE

with eight other acts, most of which are local, including a band featuring Thompson’s teenage son. “We live in a great neighbourhood, everyone pulls together and so many people are helping with the event,� Steele said. He has partnered with fel-

low Penny supporter Marc Lafontaine, who launched a Pennies for Penny campaign in the winter. Steele said the two are working around the clock to get everything in place for the concert in August. The event is priced at $10 a ticket and children under 12 are free. There will be a magician, a barbecue and prizes throughout the day. All the proceeds will be donated and Trend Micro, an Internet security company, is sponsoring the event. Steele said he is covering any additional costs. “Everything we make goes back to the foundation,� he said.

Preliminary plans revealed for Rideau River crossing Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Parking spots, connections, bike lanes and timelines were all hot topics at the city’s latest open house concerning a multiuse crossing between Overbrook and Sandy Hill. The Rideau River pathway open house at the Overbrook Community Centre was a busy place on June 10, when more than 35 people came out in the first hour to speak with city staff about the project. The city identified the need for a multi-use pathway connection between Range Road in Sandy Hill and North River Road in Overbrook more than a year ago and an environmental study report looking at where along the river and what type of bridge should be built was completed in January 2012. The plans revealed at the open house included designs for a new multi-use pathway crossing the river which will connect to the east and west pathways, the resurfacing of the parking lot at Strathcona Park and the reconstruction of Donald Street. Along with paving the parking lot at Strathcona, two new handicap spaces will be added. On the Donald side, however, it’s a bit of a different story. Parking will be removed from the city-owned road to accommodate the widening of the pedestrian and cycling pathway and the reconstruction of the road. The pathway will connect directly where the Rideau Tennis Club is located in Overbrook. Currently, the club leases its land from the National Capital Commission. Parking made available at the club is split between clubowned spots and city-owned spots on the road. To expand the pathway along Donald, the city will be taking back some of its land, paving and curbing the current dirt road and reducing the number of parking spots from 54 to 42. City project engineer Jeffery Waara said that the city conducted a parking count over the summer period of 2010, which concluded that on average over the 10 days the study was done, 38 vehicles were parked. The maximum number of vehicles parked during the 10 days was 61. The variance in the numbers is based on usage and the tightness that vehicles parked along the unfinished road. “Based on average number of cars, the 42 spots provided would be sufficient,” he said. “This reduction in on-street parking is necessary to accommodate pedestrians and cyclist on the proposed multi-use pathway.” Rick Baker, manager of the tennis club, said the loss of parking is of concern, but he under-

in the summer. “It will give us access to downtown, could bring in more business to Overbrook, and connect students to the community,” Zabarylo said. Many residents said they were happy to see the latest designs for a bridge, but are becoming impatient with the progress on the project. Both ward councillors for Sandy Hill and Overbrook, Mathieu Fleury and Peter Clark, have identified this project as a top priority for their office and have said on separate occasions their goal is to get the project added to the 2014 budget. If funding is allocated in the upcoming budget, construction is anticipated to begin in the spring of 2014 and be completed by the fall of 2015. Comments can be emailed to Waara at jeffrey.waara@ottawa.ca or by calling him at 613580-2424, ext. 27805.

Recycled flour bags served an indispensible role

G

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

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories once held and by the time we had worked our way through the basket of bags, we were covered from head to toe. Even our hair was flecked with flour. But since it was Saturday night anyway, our weekly bath and head wash would take care of that. Before they could be made use of, the flour bags had to be washed twice. On Monday morning, they were washed separate from the rest of the laundry, and hung over the fence to dry. That washing was to get rid of the flour dust. The next stage was one I detested and I tried to keep my distance. Mother bought big glass bottles of javel water from Briscoes General Store. Using a big square tub, the bags were soaked for the better part of a day in a mixture of water and javel. This was

supposed to take out the bright printing that came with every flour bag, but sadly, it never quite did the job. It wasn’t unusual for me to wear bloomers made out of the bags, with “Pride of the Valley” still quite visible across my behind. Then the bags had their second washing. If it was a sunny day, they were spread out on the grass outside in the hope the hot rays of the sun would further diminish the vivid printing on every bag. Although everyone I knew in Northcote made use of flour and sugar bags, older girls like my sister Audrey would never admit their underwear once came from Five Roses Flour. Happy was the day when Audrey was finally wearing store bought bloomers from Renfrew. But alas, as long as I went to the

Northcote School, my lot in life was flour bag underwear! The best bags, once they had been washed, were laid out flat and the very best of them became sheets. It took four bags to make one sheet and I was off the farm before I found out that sheets didn’t come with a seam down the middle and one going cross wards! Working around the printed words was a challenge for Mother. She made sure that the best pinny aprons were free of print and pillow cases, sometimes after being bleached three or four times, were ready for embroidering by Audrey and me. I thought my sister was very clever indeed. She made beautiful cross-stitching, which I never did seem to be able to master. French knots were another specialty of hers and “company” tea towels were festooned with lovely embroidery work, which I was quick to point out to whatever guest happened to be helping us red up the kitchen. The aprons Mother made out of flower bags were enormous. They had long tails

to tie at the back, and when I had to wear one to churn for butter, it covered me from chin to my ankles, and lay in a heap around my feet on the floor. A coat hook at the back kitchen door held many aprons. These were always fresh as a daisy, ironed, and spanking white. As soon as Mother heard someone come in the lane,

was known many years later as recycling was just another way of surviving those days when there was no money for frivolities. Although just about everyone at the Northcote School wore flour-bag underwear, with a few exceptions like my little friend Joyce and my rival Marguirite, there were times when I wished there

The best bags, once they had been washed, were laid out flat and the very best of them became sheets she ripped off the apron she was wearing, even if she had just put it on that morning, and reached for one off the hook. Heaven forbid that she should be caught with a spot on an apron in front of company, even if it was just another farmer coming to have a chat with Father. Rick rack braid went on collars of flour-bag blouses to take away the look of where they had come from. The bags had many uses and the price was just right for those Depression years. And what

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

Helping build community, strength for young moms Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

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

enrolment is continuous throughout the year, and during the wait-period, students have the opportunity to enroll in an independent study program. Littlemore now lives in Manotick with her husband, daughters and son. The mother of three said that throughout her time at the centre what she remembers the most is the strong community support everyone at the school offered her. Holly, now 25 said she is incredibly proud of her mother. “I always looked up to my mom as a role model, and I remember being 20 and thinking I could never have finished high school and have a young child. She is really resilient.” Littlemore said the school instilled the importance of having an education. “It wasn’t just a school, they encouraged continuing education, life skills, so many things I never thought I needed,” she said. Simpson said the centre is more than just offering the new moms a place to complete their high school diploma, it also offers parenting counceling, cooking and financial classes and classes for new dads as well. “We are a one-stop shop - we have a food bank, baby clothes, a family doctor who comes in one day a week, there are amazing services here that really support the young moms get their high school diploma,” Simpson said. “Compared to GED, we work at tying life skills, emphasize parenting, we are trying to ensure moms don’t feel isolated in parenting, there is lots of things that can make a new mom feel isolated,” Simpson said. “With a GED you are on your own, but here we are building community.” On June 21 the centre will celebrate another 22 girls graduating. “I truly believe it takes a community to raise a child, it was nice to know there are other resources out there to help,” Littlemore said. Visit youvillecentre.org for more information about its services, to donate to the centre or to find out ways to volunteer at the day care centre.

Hydro Ottawa wins United Way ‘Best Community Campaign’ Award

Hydro Ottawa is honoured to be the recipient of this year’s United Way Ottawa’s ‘Best Community Campaign’ award.

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Gaining yards Liam Kelly from St. Patrick’s High School carries the ball down the field during the rugby all star game. Players from all across Ottawa were at the South Nepean Rugby Park in Barrhaven on June 5 to play an east versus west all star rugby game. Schools throughout the region sent their top junior players to compete.

Last year, Hydro Ottawa employees took part in our most successful United Way Ottawa workplace campaign to date. Our 2012 campaign raised a record $201,905 for the United Way. This was made possible through employee donations, fundraising events and corporate matching dollars. Our award-winning campaign included a 10 km relay that saw a group of employees run from our Merivale Road office to our head office located on Albion Road North and a series of fundraising events that included a bake sale, chili cook-off and an online auction. Hydro Ottawa and its employees are strong supporters of the United Way. Through employee donations and corporate matching dollars, Hydro Ottawa’s United Way campaigns have raised more than $1.3 million over the past 12 years. “It’s the generosity of our employees and the dedication of our campaign committee that makes our United Way campaigns such a success,” said Bryce Conrad, Hydro Ottawa President and Chief Executive Officer.

Don’t miss out!

The employer contributions to Hydro Ottawa’s United Way campaign are directed to the Brighter Tomorrows Fund. This community investment program supports front-line agencies that serve people who are homeless, or those at risk of being homeless, to invest in energy-efficient retrofits.

Two libraries go high-tech this fall Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Library branches in Alta Vista and Centrepointe will be next to receive a high-tech booksorting system this fall. Work is already underway to affix RFID tags – short for radio frequency identification – to library materials in order to automate the sorting

process. Instead of a librarian having to scan each book, CD or DVD back into the library manually, that work will be done instantly by a machine that can pick up a radio signal to track that the material has been returned to the library. The project to upgrade library branches to the new technology is meant to save time, ensure library

part of a larger renovation which is expected to be completed early this fall, likely by September. The library board approved spending $634,500 on RFID equipment for the Centrepointe and Alta Vista branches. Combined with the cost for RFID at the Emerald Plaza branch, the Ottawa Public Library will spend $985,000 on the new technology this year.

materials are in circulation instead of sitting on a shelf waiting to be sorted and to free up staff time to provide other services for library patrons. The Hazeldean library branch in Kanata was the first branch to get the RFID technology, a change which took place last year. The Emerald Plaza branch in Nepean will also get the new system as

Targeting International Tax Evasion Honest Canadians work hard and pay their taxes in full and on time. But some people feel that they are above the law. They take their money and hide it in offshore bank accounts, resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue for the government. Since 2006, the Canada Revenue Agency has audited nearly 8,000 cases of suspected international tax evasion, identifying about $4.5 billion in unpaid taxes. This is not fair to law-abiding Canadians. That is why our government is cracking down on these international tax cheats to ensure that taxes on money hidden overseas are recovered. NEVIL HUNT/METROLAND

By not paying taxes, these tax cheats increase the tax burden for average Canadians, leaving less money available for important services like health care and education. As part of Economic Action Plan 2013, our government is empowering the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) with all the tools they need to crack down on this aggressive tax avoidance.

Tea is served Tea is served on the lawn outside Dickinson House on June 9, as the Rideau Township Historical Society presents the Trusseau tea. Guests also enjoyed musical accompaniment from some young artists. The tea is part of the preparations for a historical wedding re-enactment later this summer.

Didn’t get your War Amps key tags in the mail? Order them today!

We have created a dedicated team of international tax experts within the CRA who will help ensure the measures being implemented are working correctly. They will also be working closely with auditors to ensure that this money can be recovered quickly.

Congratulations!

As part of our Plan, we will also give the CRA the ability to stop, locate and reclaim lost tax money by granting them the authority to review large international wire transfers. This move will also help prevent money laundering and potential terrorist activity. Furthermore, we have recently launched the ‘Stop International Tax Evasion Program’, which will enable the CRA to create a Crime Stoppers-type system, offering financial rewards for information that leads to the successful collection of taxes from an international tax cheats. The United Kingdom and Germany have similar programs which have proven highly successful at recovering hidden tax money.

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

Fundraising needed to get instruments to Africa Michelle Nash

gave him a huge sigh of relief. “The costs would have been doubled if not for that,” he said. But the shipping costs are still needed and Snelgrove said anyone who is willing to help by donating much needed funds would become a huge help. The music teacher said he doesn’t care what people do to help, and in facts encourages people to be creative. Funds have already been coming in from a many different sources, including the Music Students Council of Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School who raised $135 through a music-day bake sale. Local music-mom Shauna Guilford collected $150 towards strings purchases, Snelgrove said many more people have made individual donations through the organization’s website.

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Well the clarinets have been collected, the guitars have been tuned and now its time to ship more than 200 instruments to Africa this summer. Since February, Instruments for Africa has been collecting used and new instruments to donate to schools in Africa. The journey to collect enough instruments to outfit an orchestra or two in schools in Africa began with Old Ottawa South music teacher Todd Snelgrove. The idea springs from just one guitar. When on a trip to Africa last May, Snelgrove had brought along a guitar with the intention of giving it away. While searching for the ideal recipient for the instrument, he came across the Linda School in Livingstone, Zambia. A public high school with an enrollment of 1,200 students from grades 10 to 12, its music program was operating without a single working instrument. Teachers at the school teach music theory and singing to about 300 students. Snelgrove donated a guitar to the school and since that moment, he became determined to gather more instruments for the cause. When he returned to Ottawa, Snelgrove began a larger mission to equip as many students as he could with instruments and soon instruments started coming out of the attic, basements and out from under beds, dusted off and donated to Snelgrove for the cause. With a little over 200 instruments, now the countdown is on to make sure more than 200 musical instruments get shipped to Africa this July. The shipping is aimed to take place on July 8 and is scheduled to arrive in Africa in early September where Snelgrove, his fiancé and music educator Susan Carlton will meet the instruments there. After hearing about the organization, Carlton contacted Snelgrove to offer her help in developing a music curriculum for the teachers to teach. The cost of shipping and transportation to the small villages and

There has even been a generous donation of a violin at the Ottawa Folklore Centre, stipulating that any proceeds from it’s sale go to Instruments for Africa. That generated $200 for the cause. “The amount of instruments coming in is amazing,” Snelgrove said. “They are coming in every day. I get emails every day about this cause. It’s really incredible. I never dreamed the project would be so successful. And the success of the project is what is making me worry the most, if I only had five instruments to send, it would be easy to ship them off, but with 200 it’s a little more difficult.” Regardless of raising the money or not, Snelgrove said he will be shipping these instruments over, but it will be coming out of his pocket. Its something he wishes he could avoid, he admits, but would not let the fact the group hasn’t raised enough money stop the children from getting the much deserved instruments. Once in Zambia, Snelgrove said they will begin their trip to the schools and handing out the musical instruments.

Relay for Life raises $129,000 Jessica Cunha

WE ARE SURVIVORS

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - People relay for various reasons. Danielle Morin, and her team The Incredibles, took part in the Relay for Life event in Kanata to repay the Canadian Cancer Society for funding Morin’s participation in a clinical trial after being diagnosed with colon cancer in 2010. “This is why I’m here,” said the Emerald Meadows resident. “I’m paying it back.” THE INCREDIBLES

Three years ago, Morin’s doctor found cysts on her ovaries and she was scheduled for a hysterectomy. Three of the 12 cysts were cancerous, which the doctors discovered originated in her colon. Morin was sent for a CT scan, which revealed the cancer had spread to her liver. “I was told I had a 30 per cent chance of survival,” said Morin. She began chemotherapy treatment and was placed in a clinical trial to help combat the disease. However, when she went to pick up her trial prescription, the total of the drug came to $6,000. Morin called the clinical trial team and asked to be taken off the list – even though she had health benefits, she couldn’t afford the medication, she said. The team informed her that the Canadian Cancer Society would cover her costs and after finishing the clinical trial, her cancer had diminished by 57 per cent. “There is nothing better than going to a doctor appointment and being told your cancer shrunk,” said Morin. This past spring, Morin took part in another clinical trial, after receiving news that the cancer had spread to her lungs. “After the relay, I’ll go back (for more treatment),” she said. “I’m not a quitter.” The Incredibles – made up of Morin, her husband, their adult children, family, friends and co-workers – raised $6,000 for this year’s Relay for Life. “This is one month of my clinical trial I’m able to pay back,” said Morin.

Linda Morin spoke at the relay about her own experiences with cancer. Author of The Courage to Look Beyond, she told the crowd gathered under the survivors’ tent about her battle with breast cancer and how she fought to come to terms with her new figure after a double-mastectomy. “Being a woman isn’t (about) having breasts,” she said, something she had to learn. It took her two years to come to terms with her new body. But eventually the Beaverbrook woman grew to love herself again. “This was the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” Morin said. She was the first woman who underwent a double mastectomy to pose topless on the cover of a book. “We’re always told we have to be perfect,” Morin told the crowd. “No. What’s inside … it’s what’s important. “We should be proud we are survivors,” she added. Cancer taught her about priorities. “I used to be materialistic,” said Morin. “How can I be upset (at) having cancer when cancer taught me what’s important? “Once you’ve been there you know what life’s all about.” RELAY FOR LIFE

This year’s Relay for Life event raised more than $128,500, with donations still being tallied on June 10. Even with damp, chilly and rainy weather persisting over the 12-hour relay, 42 teams took part in the event held at Walter Baker Park on June 7 and 8. “I do many events in my work life,” said volunteer event chair Rosemary Leu, who is also the executive director of the Kanata Chamber of Commerce. Around 100 volunteers helped keep things running smoothly over the course of the relay, said Leu. “Everyone’s here for a very good reason,” she said. “These are some amazing people.” Next year, Leu is hoping for an even better time. “If you can have fun under those conditions, imagine what we can do when the weather is good.”

Kids’ programs like the Kenmore Minor Ball Association, Just Kiddin Theatre and the Osgoode Youth Association all received funding. In total, 21 organizations and individuals split the $41,500. This year an individual was included on the list along with the community groups. Ryan Beaudette, a Metcalfe child who has been struggling with cancer, received $1,500 to help his family with the costs of dealing with his illness. “The family was struggling with funds because they were taking so much time off work and dedicating so much time to appoint-

ments,” explained Daryn Hicks, a member of the Shroomfest executive. “It’s to assist the family during these hard times.” 2013 SHROOMFEST BENEFICIARIES:

Fab five set for cycling fundraiser Hospital hopes to ramp up registration in week leading up to event Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Nancy Penk, one of the ďŹ ve women chosen by the Queensway Carleton Hospital to participate in the Wheels for Wellness fundraiser, said she is surprised by how much she enjoyed training for the 50-kilometre bike ride in the city’s west end. The hospital partnered with Share the Road Cycling Coalition and GranFondo Canada for the event, which will hopefully become an annual fundraiser for the hospital’s new, ďŹ ve-year, $40-million Better Tools for Better Care fundraiser campaign. “The funds will go towards outďŹ tting the new expansion with equipment,â€? said Karalee Bowles, who works with the hospital’s charitable foundation. The event was announced in January and ďŹ ve women were chosen a month later to participate in the 0-50 challenge – which offered training and nutritional support to help them complete the 50-km ride.

Penk, a 57-year-old ďŹ nancial planner who lives in Perth, said the group started training in March, but weren’t able to get on the road until the beginning of May. The women were trained by hospital foundation volunteer Jim Brockbank. He took the group out twice a week to practice things like staying in formation and sharing the road with vehicles.

The funds will go towards outfitting the new expansion with equipment KARALEE BOWLES

Penk, who has to drive in from Perth for the 7:30 a.m. weekend practices, said she was surprised she was able to stick to it. She said she didn’t really exercise much and when she visited the doctor, her tests came back OK. “But I didn’t want to wait too late, or for there to be a problem before I started to get

healthy,� she said. Aside from the physical training, the participants had to work on their diet. Jennifer Camirand, from Be Well Nutrition, offered nutritional support in the form of counselling, meal plans and grocery shopping tips. “It was a bit of an adjustment,� Penk said. The team was chosen through the Women Leading Care Network, which brings together women leaders in the community to discuss healthcare issues. Each member of the team was to raise $750 for the fundraiser. The festivities kicked off with a Family FunDo on June 14. The barbecue will be on the hospital’s Baseline Road campus. The next day, participants were to cycle along a 50- or 105-kilometre route. Bowles said the longer bike ride will take cyclists as far as Almonte before heading back to the hospital campus.

Lumière Gala to benefit cancer foundation Inaugural Keltic Cup kicks off the Sept. 11 event Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The Lumière Charity Gala is an important event for the Brookstreet Hotel, said Patrice Basille, executive vice president and general manager of the organization. Now in its 11th year, the event raises funds for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation – a charity near and dear to the hotel staff. Eleven employees are cancer survivors, said Basille. His wife is also a breast cancer survivor. “They’ve all come through it,” he said. The Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation is the perfect recipient, he said, because the money stays in the community and it’s possible to see where the funds are used. “This is very important,” he said. “We all know we’ll be touched by cancer.” The Lumière Charity Gala kicked off with a food demonstration at the Brookstreet Hotel on June 13. The hotel’s executive chef, Clifford Lyness, prepared a shrimp dish for those in attendance, served alongside duck, sushi and a variety of desserts. Lyness has created a preliminary menu, which may see a few changes before the Sept. 11 event, but the overall idea is to incorporate food from musical events around the globe. “The concept is to do (food from) jazz festivals from around the world,” said Lyness.

worked at the hotel for six years, and as executive chef for five. “It’s always nice to be able to give back.” The Lumière Gala began as the hotel’s grand opening, but due to its success, chairman Terry Matthews decided it should become an annual event. “We’re all looking forward to it,” said Matthews, also founder and chairman of Wesley Clover International. “We’ll all have really good fun – a little music, a little fireworks, a little socializing, a little drink – what a great chemistry set we have to play with.” To date, the Brookstreet has donated more than $380,000 to local charities and another $162,000 to cancer research. “We’re doing something that’s beyond anything else taking place in Ottawa. And most importantly, we’re helping those people with cancer,” said Linda Eagan, president and CEO of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

Police ask residents to help keep public sex off trails Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - While public sex on Greenbelt trails near a Slack Road parking lot deters residents from walking there, Glens Community Association president Agnes Warda said media attention has helped to stop some of the cruising. “Hopefully soon we can begin using the trails for nature walks and bird watching again,” Warda said during the community association’s annual general meeting at the Metropolitan Bible Church on June 10.+ The infamous P15 lot – on Slack Road between Merivale Road and Woodroffe Avenue – garnered attention last fall as residents complained they couldn’t use the Crown land because it was a prevalent gay cruising site. Const. Tim Murray, who works as the community police officer for the area surrounding the parking lot, said he monitored traffic to the site for much of May. “I have spent 20 hours at that parking lot from May 16 to the end of the month,” he told residents. Murray has been handing

out Make the Right Call stickers to people he has met in the parking lot. Murray said he stayed away from an enforcement approach, preferring public education instead. “I would approach people and tell them residents have concerns about public sex in the area and if they see suspicious activity could they call the police,” Murray said. “Of course everyone I talked to it was their first time there and a lot of them had just pulled over to adjust something in their trunk.” But Murray can’t do it alone. He said despite the fact that Ottawa police are aware of the activity, the organization uses a response-based approach. “Everyone knows what’s going on,” he said. “But there have only been a handful of calls to police in the last five years.” Calls will translate into police presence in the area, which will act as a deterrent, he said. “I have been monitoring the (cruising) websites and they talk about a police officer being there to hand out stickers,” Murray said. A listings site called cruis-

Other than the infamous parking lot, Murray said the area is relatively crime free. The number of break and enters has remained static for the last two years, with two reports each year. The statistics measure a time period of Jan 1 to May 31. Murray gave the figures for last year then compared them to the same period in 2013. Suspicious incidents went down by one from 8 in 2012 to 7 in 2013. Disputes went down from zero in 2012 to one in 2013. Suspicious cars reported stayed the same for both years, with three reports. Theft from vehicles also stayed the same, with two reFILE ports for both periods. But Murray said residents An NCC vehicle sits in a parking lot on Slack Road that leads to Greenbelt trails.

Residents talk transit at Greenbank realignment meeting jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Residents got a chance to see the future of Greenbank Road and the parkand-ride that will terminate the southwest transitway extension during an open house in Barrhaven on June 11. In 2006 the city approved a recommended plan for a realigned Greenbank Road. The plan incorporated Greenbank from Malvern Road to Cambrian Road. The area was defined as a key component of the transportation network in the community. The community design plan identified an extension of Greenbank south of Cambrian to the former urban boundary. But Tim Dickinson, a planner that works for MMM Group, the consultant that is working on the project’s environmental assessment, said with the expansion of the urban boundary to Barnsdale Road, development proposals between Cambrian and the Mahogany development in Manotick have necessitated a study of the transportation network in the area. “The communities of Barrhaven and Manotick represent 30 per cent of the city’s population growth,” Dickinson said. The transit study, which looked at traffic patterns from Barrhaven South and Manotick during the morning peak hours, was one of the things presented to residents during the first of three pub-

lic consultations held at the Stonebridge Golf and Country Club. The report says 2,800 transit trips are forecast to originate from Barrhaven south and Manotick by 2031. The old location of Greenbank road would be closed off at the Jock River for motorists, but where the new road goes and where the transit system terminates are all up for debate. “We have to see if people

want the park-and-ride in the centre of the community or if people wanted it extended further to Barnsdale,” Dickinson said. One resident said he was concerned with a Barnsdaleroad park-and-ride, people would start to use Viewbank Road – which isn’t really able to handle that much traffic. Frank McKinney, an engineer with the city, said that

would be considered when they were looking at locations. The city is currently working on an environmental assessment of the area. Dickinson said that would include walking the route and identifying species at risk. “We will work with the developer (Minto), to see what has already been done,” he said. Klaus Beltzner, president of the Manotick Village Community Association, asked if a Highway 416 interchange on Barnsadale Road – included in the city’s 2008 Transportation Master Plan – was still in the works. McKinney said the city is looking at a full interchange on Barnsdale, but is waiting on the province for a full decision. Any plans on a Greenbank Road realignment would depend on findings from the environmental assessment and community input. “Just because we have seven or eight options, doesn’t mean those are the ones we have to go with,” McKinney said. “Your input is very important.” Another public consultation will be held in the fall, with findings presented to council next spring if everything goes well, Dickinson said. More information on the project can be found on the city’s website under environmental assessments. Comments can be sent to frank. mckinney@ottawa.ca.

Greely man a city builder for 911 campaign Emma Jackson

location jealousies in order to save lives. The move was approved in 1986 and implemented by 1988. In 2012, Ottawa’s 911 call centre is busy answering 290,976 emergency requests.

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - Almost 25 years to the day after the city’s first 911 call was made, Greely resident Mark O’Neill received the mayor’s city builder award for his efforts to change the region’s emergency response system. During a city council meeting on Wednesday, June 12 Mayor Jim Watson and Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson commended O’Neill – now the president and CEO of the Canadian Museum of Civilization – for his “outstanding community service and public advocacy” to bring the universal 911 emergency phone number to the city, as well as a paramedics program. Anyone born in the past 25 years would find it hard to fathom that anything other than 911 was ever used for emergency calls. But before June 22, 1988, residents in the Ottawa-Carleton region had to navigate 27 different emergency numbers to get the help they needed. “If you dialed 0 you might get an operator as far away as Cornwall, who didn’t know where you were or what you needed,” O’Neill said. “Those precious moments in an emergency response time can be the difference between life and death. We just didn’t have the standard Ottawa needed.” O’Neill was a 21-year-old political science student at Carleton University when he joined Ottawa General Hospital Dr. Justin Maloney, his brother Mark, and Geri Migicovsky to form Action 911 in 1984. At the time, Ottawa-Carleton had one of the

the Ontario Ministry of Health to upgrade the skills of all ambulance attendants to advancedcare paramedics, which would bring hospitallevel care to the site of emergencies. By 1994 Ottawa and 12 other municipalities in Ontario had paramedics on staff.

LIFE AND DEATH CITY BUILDER

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

In two years, the group rallied residents to support the change, and slowly convinced regional politicians to let go of cost concerns and

Before Action 911 began its campaign, Justin – a close family friend – told O’Neill about a teenager who had been killed in a workplace accident the year before. “A teenage boy was putting boxes into a box cutter at the Herongate Mall and got himself stuck in the box cutter up to his waist,” O’Neill said. “They went to try and save his life and they couldn’t and he died.” Maloney told O’Neill that if Ottawa had had a proper emergency response system, that boy might have lived. “That story had an impact on me,” O’Neill said. “When I heard about some of the tragic stories where people needlessly died ... I just thought this is so basic.” Getting 911 implemented was just the first step in improving Ottawa’s emergency response. Next on the list was putting paramedics into ambulances – but you couldn’t do that until you had 911, O’Neill said. After the 911 system was established, O’Neill went back to work pushing for paramedics. At the time, it was just ambulance drivers and attendants arriving at emergency calls, with few lifesaving skills at their disposal. He helped found a public advocacy campaign called Action Paramedic, aimed at lobbying

O’Neill said it was nice to be recognized at city hall, but couldn’t take all of the credit. “I really share that with a lot of people who worked very hard over the years,” he said. O’Neill is known for his humility. Thompson, who helped Watson present the award, said O’Neill is a “humble, nice guy” who has always been active in the community. “Mark was just a young guy and said this is not right,” Thompson said. “He was the father figure of 911 in Ottawa.” In 2012, he received the Diamond Jubilee Medal for his commitment to the Friends of the Canadian War Museum. The city builder award is a civic honour created Watson to recognize an individual, group or organization that has, through outstanding volunteerism or exemplary action, demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to making our city a better place today and for the future. This may include lifelong service, outstanding acts of kindness, inspiring charitable work, community building or other exemplary achievements. Individuals, groups or organizations may be nominated by members of city council or the public. The award is presented at the beginning of each city council meeting.

City commits funds to Byward Market improvement studies Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The city will spend an additional $80,000 on more indepth study of ideas to improve the ByWard Market recommended in a recent study. The city’s planning committee OKed spending $50,000 on more study to the policy and funding needed to create new governance model for the market, which some argue is ailing due to vacant stalls and storefronts. “I feel the market has been looking tired,” said Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs, who sits on the planning committee. “I am not so proud to take people there anymore, but that’s where they want to go.” The city will spend another $30,000 on a plan to improve the streetscape. Any construction costs would be above and beyond that amount. Those funds are needed to implement the suggestions in a report called Strengthening the Future of the ByWard Market, was prepared by New York-based Project for Public Spaces. It recommends things like creating a non-profit group to manage the market vendors, providing incentives for food retailers, improving safety and creating more vibrant public spaces. While these aren’t brandnew concepts, said Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, those ideas are reinforced in the report. However, the debate at planning committee centered on an age-old problem in the market: balancing the needs and desires of its residents with the interests of tourists, many of whom might arrive to the ByWard Market by automobile. Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess pointed out the disconnect between the “two views of vehicles:” providing more cheap parking to encourage

David O’Neill, one of the Project for Public Spaces consultants, said parking fees have to be low enough to not discourage people from going there, but the city must provide other

opportunities for people to get there by foot or bike. City planning manager Lee Ann Snedden said that while the market is the city’s “top” tourism destination, it is also a dense residential area. Although it is a tourism driver, the city is “trying to promote local fresh foods in this area as well,” Snedden

said. Suburban councillors also expressed concern that the ByWard Market would try to appeal to residents across the city and would therefore contradict efforts to encourage people to shop at local neighbourhood markets. “We are not trying to compete

with the Saturday morning markets,” said Fleury, noting that the ByWard Market runs seven days a week. “We’re different.” The governance report being prepared for 2013 will look at the impact on other markets. A Lowertown resident who spoke at the meeting was less concerned about parking issues and access to fresh foods than the proliferation of bars and restaurants. Sylvie Grenier of the Lowertown Community Association said while the group is generally in support of the report, the association is requesting that the city study mechanisms it could use to regulate or limit new bars or restaurants from popping up. Planning committee chairman Coun. Peter Hume sparred with Grenier over that request, saying that the city would land itself in court if it tried to restrict property owners from exercising a right to put that type of business on their property that has existed for 100 years. “I don’t know that there is, or has been, or that this report provides the justification to take away that right,” Hume said. O’Neil of the Project for Public Spaces also warned against a moratorium on certain types of businesses. There was some interest in reducing or changing the fees for vendors in the market. Fleury said he’d like to look at a sliding scale that would offer space for cheaper during slow hours. Adel Ayad, a ByWard Market property owner, said slashing the fees in half or more and easing the complicated process to set up as a vendor in the market would help fill the vacant booths that are becoming more numerous. Patricia Kilmartin, who represents the stall vendors in the market, also asked for an immediate 20 per cent decrease in the rental cost.

Butterfly parks bloom in the city brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Orléans is now home to two new butterfly parks, one at Terry Fox Park and one at Cairine Wilson Secondary School. Two members of the Monarch Teacher Network who live in Orléans decided to build the a Monarch Waystation in Terry Fox Park after months of planning. Mary Ash and Joan Harvey offered workshops at Cairine Wilson Secondary School – which helped lead to the development of a butterfly garden for the painted ladies breed of butterflies at the school. This year, they received grant money through TD Friends of the Environment and the city to purchase subsidized plants and soil from LaPorte’s Nursery. The waystation, which Ash said is the first of it’s kind in Ottawa, is located in the north east corner of Terry Fox Park, where there used to be an old campfire pit. When Ash and Harvey surveyed neighbours for approval, a mandatory part of the city process, they ended up with support and volunteers who helped pitch in to plant the garden. She said monarch butterflies need

milkweed to lay their eggs, so only gardens with milkweed will attract them. Besides milkweed, volunteers also planted flowers for nectar. The garden should not only increase the monarchs’ presence, but increase breeding. Because the plants are still growing, it might take some time before residents start to notice an increase in monarch activity. “And they are very late this year because the weather has been crazy,” Ash said. “I’d give them another couple of weeks.” Right now there is a bench at the area, and plans have been made for a sign to go in once more flowers bloom in July. “I walk over there just about every morning and someone will say, ‘Oh, I love the garden, I come here and sit on the bench,’” Ash said. “As the plants get more established, we’ll have bigger and better blooms and more milkweed.” The park is right beside Terry Fox Elementary School, so Ash hopes that teachers will use the park to teach their students. At Carine Wilson Secondary School, Grade 11 biology students learned about the painted ladies butterflies, and released several that hatched in their classroom into the garden on June 13.

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

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

Habitat for Humanity marks 20 years in Ottawa Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

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

kind of leadership from our board of directors and the hard work from our staff and volunteers.” Habitat NCR is run by a 15member volunteer board of directors, and relies on the help of up to 3,000 volunteers of all capacities over the course of a year, said Hicks. Each home build, she added, requires 380 volunteer slots to accomplish. At eight years of service, Hicks is the longest-serving CEO in the Habitat system, which is composed of 67 affiliates in Canada and has a presence in 100 countries worldwide. Because it has to collect, handle and distribute funds, find land, collect materials as well as manage the no-interest mortgages issued to families buying Habitat homes, the organization has to function as a bank, mortgagelender, and builder. While that responsibility results in a huge workload, the satisfaction of seeing families in need move into their own home makes up for it. “We like what we do,” said Hicks, who normally works14hour days. With much talk surrounding the growing need for affordable housing in recent years,

From left, Habitat NCR board president Johannes Ziebarth, CEO Donna Hicks and Habitat for Humanity Canada CEO and president Kevin Marshman. Habitat NCR stands alone as a housing provider in allowing families to own their own home while retaining the equity after payout – something that can greatly benefit adults and seniors.

“Many of our families have low-paying jobs with no pension plan,” said Hicks. “This house can become part of their long-term financial planning.” The need for affordable housing isn’t relegated to ur-

ban areas. Habitat NCR has seen increasing demand from communities outside the city, recently building three new homes in Carleton Place and renovating another in Kemptville.

“When we started looking at some of these outlying communities, we didn’t know how bad the need was for affordable housing,” said Hicks. “We’re seeing more and more requests from outlying communities.” Hicks said she is working on a gift of land in Arnprior, a possible gift in Richmond, and is looking forward to a planned project in Perth. Large projects like new home builds aren’t the only thing Habitat NCR does to benefit the community; increasingly they are asked to modify existing homes in order to allow occupants (often with mobility issues) to continue living there. Under its Renew It program, Habitat will perform repairs or modifications – like adding a wheelchair ramp, a porch or fixing a roof – to keep homes livable. While Habitat NCR is growing and looking to the future, Hicks said much more work is needed to serve the community’s needs. “It’s not enough,” said Hicks. “We need to acquire more land, raise more money, and look at all the different ways there are to house people.”

During a talk at a Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce breakfast held at the Centurion Conference and Event Centre on June 6, White took some time to talk about controversy surrounding some of his colleagues. “It’s nothing like I faced in policing,” White said of the controversy surrounding Senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau. “There I had officers killed or officers kill people.” White said the main difference between dealing with similar issues as police chief and how the government is dealing with the embattled Senate is that loyalty has been placed over integrity. “They are the two most important things in policing,” he said. “Loyalty is important when I am going on a call with my partner. I have to know that

Senator Vern White talked about the challenges facing the Senate during a meeting of the Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce on June 6. he will potentially put his life on the line to protect me. But by the same token he has to know that if he does something wrong, like punch a suspect, that integrity trumps loyalty.” White said integrity was so important to him as a police chief that he fired officers he liked and officers he thought, other than the infraction; were good police officers. “But they no longer de-

served my loyalty to continue on the police force,” he said. Recently White wrote to the Senate Ethics officer asking her to investigate a $1.7-million offshore trust that reports say names Liberal Senator Pana Merchant as a beneficiary. He said the situation in the Senate is made more difficult by the fact that loyalty is being placed over integrity in some

cases. “There are some people that don’t deserve our loyalty,” he said. White said he wouldn’t have joined the Senate if there wasn’t talk of reform. He said one of the positive outcomes of the controversy is that Canadians have never been more plugged into what they expect from the Senate. “We need to ask Canadians what they want to see, and to be fair that could be abolishment,” he said. “But if people want to see regional representation in areas where they don’t have any representation, that’s what we need to be doing.” COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

He said one of the reasons most people come to the Senate is because of what they have done in their communities. “There are more Order of Canadas there than any other place I have seen,” he said. White, a Kanata resident, is often asked to speak about community engagement.

He came to policing after being on the wrong side of the law a couple of times during his teen years in Cape Breton. But a job bartending at a little pub put him into contact with RCMP officers. “I used to ask them about policing and what it was like to be police officers,” he said. “They suggested I do a ridealong and I told them I had done a couple, but they weren’t the best experiences.” Despite that, White completed 800 hours of ride along time before applying to work for the RCMP. During his career with them he worked his way up to assistant commissioner after 19 years serving in the country’s three northern territories. He said differing opinions on integrity with the commissioner of the day is why he made the move to municipal policing – first with Durham and then with Ottawa. He said growing up in a small town has helped him to stay on the right path. His father, who worked as a coal miner, worked more than

three decades without taking a sick day. “When we messed up my dad used to ask us if we had known what the right thing to do was. If we said yes, then we had no excuse. There was no alternative,” White said. White said Ottawa was a unique community. “This city has more play than any other place I have lived,” he said. “I have yet to see a city with as many segments – as many definitions of community. People always say, ‘I am from Kanata, Cumberland or Nepean and I think that helps prop up the city to make it a better place to live.” White recalled the work he and other volunteers did with philanthropist Dave Smith in an effort to get two youth drug treatment centres built in the city. “We brought together more than 30 partners to raise $6 million and build two centres,” he said. That’s going to provide treatment for kids many of you may not know, but we understand that it takes a village.”

Mount up: Glebe gets bike sharing program Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Six bicycles are available to take for a spin after a local bike sharing program set up shop in the Glebe. The Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group has partnered with West-

boro’s Right Bike to offer six rental bicycles for use in the neighbourhood. “The Glebe will now become a new bike hub for Right Bike,” said Mary Tsai-Davies, executive director of the group. The program got started on June 15 and bicycle day passes can be pur-

chased for $5 a day or $20 for a threeday pass. RightBike is a community-owned and operated bike sharing service that got started in Westboro, Hintonburgh and Wellington West Village. It offers residents who live along the Wellington/Richmond Road corridor between Hintonburg and Westboro

the opportunity to borrow a bike. The organization has a total of 65 bicycles available, available at six different locations. Residents can subscribe to either a monthly membership for $10 or a season pass for $40. A deposit of $60 is required. Tsai-Davies said the goal is to take

the successful Westboro model and bring it to the Glebe. The group is hoping the program will become popular so they can expand the number of bikes available. Right Bike is a part of the Causeway Social Enterprise, a non-profit organization that assists disadvantaged people find employment.
