EMC news - The Ottawa Hospital Foundation kicked off a fundraiser last week to support the expansion of the Civic Campus’ breast health centre. The Ottawa Hospital Breast Health Centre needs more space and equipment to serve its growing list of clients, said Dr. Jean Seely, head of breast imaging at The Ottawa Hospital. The health centre has seen a 40 per cent increase in its number of patients since it opened 14 years ago, said Seely. The hospital foundation dedicated a Tree of Life to recognize Shoppers Drug Mart for its commitment to supporting women’s health in Ottawa on Sept. 27. See TREE, page 3

EMC news - The closing of Elizabeth Park Public School in 2017 could speed up plans to build a new public school in Findlay Creek, said area trustee Mark Fisher. The building that houses Elizabeth Park is currently leased by the Ottawa public school board from the Department of National Defence. When the lease expires in 2017, it won’t be renewed, the defence department recently told the school board. “From my perspective, I
think this puts the focus on building a new school in Findlay Creek,” said Fisher. Earlier this summer, Findlay Creek parents presented to the board a school survey taken by the area’s community association and a petition signed by 565 people calling for an accommodation review. The survey showed that the community has the numbers required to sustain a new school, even when the school board says otherwise, said Fisher. Fisher said he is pressing the board and Ontario’s Ministry of Education to address
the problem as soon as possible. “I have certainly been discussing with a number of officials at the school board as well as representatives of the premier’s office about the need to move forward with the decision on building a new school in Findlay Creek to accommodate students from Elizabeth Park,” said Fisher. According to the community association’s survey, 190 children from Findlay Creek are currently attending Elizabeth Park, 35 attend Blossom Park Public, 10 attend Sawmill Creek Elementary, five attend Roberta Bondar Public, five attend Leitrim Montessori and one is enrolled at Westboro Academy. The survey also found there are 75 children in the Findlay
Creek area under the age of four who would attend the new school if it opened in 2014. “I am really hoping that with the ongoing pressure on the Ministry of Education we might be able to come to some decision earlier (rather) than later on what we are going to do,” said Fisher. “The province needs to recognize the need to make a decision on funding with respect to this project, so we can get the process started and moving forward to opening the school in time, in advance to the closure of Elizabeth Park,” he said. “I don’t want to be waiting until the last minute and start dealing with a potential crisis.” See FINDLAY, page 2
Tackling the Deficit The 2012 Ontario Budget is the cornerstone of our plan to balance the budget by 2017/18. We’re making the right choices for Ontario families — so we can grow the economy, and continue protecting our schools and public health care. Strong action is required to eliminate the deficit — we are limiting program spending, transforming public services, and beating our deficit targets. We cannot engage in unsustainable spending and we will not increase taxes.

Vanier man wants to create community boards Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - One Vanier resident aims to bring the community together one bulletin board at a time. Stefan Cherry announced his idea of creating a wooden and Plexiglas encased community bulletin boards at the Sept. 10 Vanier Community Association meeting. The goal is to reach out to residents who are not always sitting in front of a computer, where most of the association’s announcements are made via a website or Face-
ticipated in building community garden boxes for Vanier in the spring. Early in the process of getting the word out, Cherry has taken it upon himself to speak to some of the recreation centres in the neighbourhood, including the Richelieu-Vanier Community Centre, which, he reported was very interested in the idea. The next step for Cherry is to meet with Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury to formally present the idea. The goal is to build one, monitor its success, and build more from there.
With the association impressed with the idea, Cherry attended the Vanier Beautification meeting on Sept. 18 for input from that group’s members. The feedback he received, again, was all positive. The goal is to have the community boards built at minimal costs by enlisting the help and talents of local high school students. Cherry said he floated the idea to Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School in the winter, where students were keen to participate having already par-
book page. Board members and residents both agreed the idea was interesting. “They would be neighbourhood community boards, where people could post events and share news with the community,” Cherry said. Cherry said the boards will also offer a cleaner, more controlled option to spread Vanier’s news. The idea is to have a lock and key for the community bulletin boards, to ensure flyers and posters can be put up and remain until the event is complete.

The Ottawa Hospital Foundation kicked off its Tree of Life fundraiser last week, aiming to raise money for the expansion of the Ottawa Hospital Breast Health Centre. Pictured from left, are Dr. Jean Seely, head of breast imaging at the Ottawa Hospital, Bashir Surani of Shoppers Drug Mart and Tracy Power, a breast cancer survivor.
Tree of Life fundraiser to help hospital breast health centre Continued from page 1
The dedication marked the start of the seventh-annual Tree of Life campaign, which this year will see employees at 47 Shoppers Drug Mart stores in Ottawa supporting the expansion of the hospital’s breast health centre. “Every year, more than 30,000 women walk through the doors of The Ottawa Hospital Breast Health Centre,” said Seely, adding that 1,000 of them will be diagnosed with breast cancer. The campaign, which runs for four weeks, encourages customers to purchase and personalize their own paper leaf for a loonie “maple leaf” for $5 or a paper apa ple for $50. Each leaf sold will represent a donation to the centre and will become part of the store’s Tree of Life display.
“The funds raised by Shoppers Drug Mart will allow us to be ready for patients when they need us the most,” said Seely. Representatives from Tree Canada were on hand to distribute free saplings so event attendees could plant a tree in honour of those who have, and who are currently fighting the disease. The expanded centre will provide patients with a bright and pleasant environment that addresses all women’s breast health needs in one location and with greater efficiency, said Seely. “The huge increase in the number of patients has meant that we can’t have the number of professionals that we need to provide excellence in breast care,” she said. “The number of patients has doubled and we aren’t able to offer that centralized access to
diagnosis and care the way we want to.” Though mortality for breast cancer has decreased by 30 per cent in Ontario, Seely said breast cancer is still the leading cause of cancer death for women in North America. “It is a very big problem, but with early treatment and diagnosis we are able to have phenomenal outcomes,” she said. A wife and a mother of two, Tracy Power never thought she would be diagnosed with breast cancer, until she was told she had an aggressive form of the disease last October. “I embarked on a journey of a multitude of tests, breast cancer surgery and six rounds of chemo,” she said. Power said breast cancer isn’t the death sentence it used to be and there is no reason for patients to think they can’t get through it.
“The chemo was difficult but a lot of advances have been made lately in terms of handling the side effects,” she said. Her message to cancer patients was the “survival rate is so high these days. “Just stay optimistic, have
faith in your doctors and you will get through this.” Over the past six years, the Shoppers Drug Mart Tree of Life campaign has raised more than $400,000 to support patient care and research at The Ottawa Hospital. “We are thrilled in the last
three years they have focused their efforts on women’s health issues and this year they have chosen to support the Ottawa Hospital Breast Health Centre,” said Sharon Martin, senior director, special projects at The Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

Mayor Jim Watson surprises Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches with a commemorative sign marking the recent birth of the councillor’s twins during a city council meeting on Sept. 26.
Minister of Energy Chris Bentley tours Generating Station No. 2 with Bryce Conrad, President and CEO, Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc.; and Pierre Richard, Chairman, Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. and Hydro Ottawa Limited.
On September 28, Ontario’s Minister of Energy Chris Bentley visited Chaudière Generating Station No. 2, one of Hydro Ottawa’s historic hydroelectric generating stations at Chaudière Falls. The station, commissioned in 1891 and refurbished and fully automated in 2001, is a heritage-designated building that is Canada’s oldest fully-functional run-of-theriver hydroelectric facility. Minister Bentley was accompanied by Pierre Richard, Chairman, Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. and Hydro Ottawa Limited; and Bryce Conrad, President and CEO, Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. Hydro Ottawa also owns Chaudière Generating Station No. 4, built in 1900 and refurbished in 2005, as well as a smaller station named the Grinder Powerhouse which uses an innovative technology that is similar to a pump operating in reverse – the first time this technology has been used at a scale of 700 kilowatts or more. Hydro Ottawa’s Chaudière Falls stations have a generating capacity of 17 megawatts and an annual production of about 125,000 megawatt hours of green energy. With the addition of its landfill gas-to-energy generation, Hydro Ottawa is the largest generator of green power in eastern Ontario. This green energy portfolio will expand with the closing of the acquisition of three more hydroelectric stations at Chaudière Falls from Domtar with a capacity of 20 megawatts. The acquisition will more than double Hydro Ottawa’s hydroelectric generating capacity, enabling the company to generate enough clean, renewable energy to meet the annual needs of 28,000 households. Another benefit of the acquisition is that the Chaudière Falls site is one of the largest remaining sites available in Ontario, with an expansion opportunity that could see Hydro Ottawa’s hydroelectric capacity grow to 60 megawatts.

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

Cooking for Kenya raises dollars for building a school in Kenya Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com
EMC news – Moncion’s Independent Grocer in Riverside South was filled with Kenyan dishes on Sept. 30, during a fundraiser for the construction of a nursery school in a rural village in Kenya. The fundraiser was run by Elimu, an Ottawa-based nonprofit group created to build schools and other educational facilities in east Africa. All proceeds will go to fund Upendo Nursery School in Sabaki village in Kenya. Construction of the nursery school is well underway, with one classroom and a toilet already completed. Elimu is hoping to raise $6,000 to fund construction of a second classroom, said Suzanne Stoltz, project advisor. The Cooking for Kenya fundraiser event raised $260. “Kenyan recipes are fairly straight forward. Nice blend of not too hot spices,” said chef Guy Giguere. At a private fundraiser last summer, Giguere raised more than $1,000 dollars for Elimu projects. “I felt what Elimu was doing was a great thing and that is how I got involved in try-
ing to raise some funds for them,” he said. When completed, the school will accommodate more than 100 students in a village with no running water or electricity. “It was a great opportunity to demonstrate how every little bit holds,” said Stoltz. About 30 excited students and their teachers had their first lesson in the newly completed classroom this summer. Elimu continues to raise awareness for children at risk in rural Kenya through its education-based initiatives. For the past four years, Upendo was a makeshift nursery school with teachers doing their best amidst cramped temporary shelters with mud floors, a leaky roof and no real school supplies. Elimu has worked closely with the local village to build the school in strategic stages and to use local materials and labour. Completion of the entire project is targeted for the end of this year, with the official school opening scheduled for January 2013. The entire project will cost around $25,000. Residents can also donate at www.elimu.ca.

A final report updating city council on the Lansdowne Park redevelopment project left at least one councillor – Capital Coun. David Chernushenko – unsatisfied.
Lack of Lansdowne retail detail irks councillor laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - The cost to the city of redeveloping Lansdowne Park has risen by $12 million, but consultants are busy finding ways to defray the costs. A report released on Sept. 25 advises city council to move forward with the plan and provides an updated snapshot of the costs, revenue and the retail mix. The additional cost includes $3.3 million for the $74.9 million stadium, an extra $5.6 million to build a 1,370-space parking garage and $3.1 million more for the office, residential, and public components. Eighteen months of delays caused by a rigorous design process and legal challenges brought by the Friends of Lansdowne and the Lansdowne Park Conservancy have put an additional $8.2 million budget pressure on the project. The list of confirmed mer-
chants (Empire Cinemas, Whole Foods and LCBO) coming to Lansdowne remains at three, but consultants say leases for 73 per cent of the retail space are very close to being signed, which is the norm for a development at this stage, according to the city report. That didn’t sit well with Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, who said he is still not comfortable with the messages he has received on retail at Lansdowne. “There are a number of important aspects to this report, but the one that jumps out to me is the lack of detail on the retail,” Chernushenko said. “This is the last and indeed almost only chance for councillors and for the public to know what it is we’re buying into. What is it we’re spending $165 million on … . We can’t just say, ‘Trust us, sign here.’ This is the last chance. This is where we sign the cheque and it can’t be a blank one.”

The whole development is expected to cost $400 million to build, which is shared with the private partner building the project, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group. Chernushenko said it’s hard for him to believe that city council’s condition that the retail be a “unique and distinct” mix without seeing even a preliminary list of retailers who’ve committed to the Lansdowne vision will be achieved. “It’s chance of success relies on it being unique and distinct, because why else would you choose … to go

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

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

The Royal Canadian Legion is seeking photographs and service information of deceased veterans to include in a video montage to be shown at the National War Memorial during this year’s Remembrance Day ceremony.

EMC news - A video montage of deceased Canadian veterans will be shown during this year’s Remembrance Day ceremony at the National War Memorial. The Royal Canadian Legion is seeking photographs of veterans together with their names, years of service, and units, to include in a Virtual Wall of Honour and Remembrance, which will be displayed on two video screens prior to the start of the ceremony. “It’s an excellent idea for people to pay tribute to their relatives who have given their lives for this country,” said Bill Maxwell, senior program officer with the Royal Canadian Legion. “It’s the first time it’s being tried and we’re hoping for a success.” The video montage will begin shortly before the start of the ceremony. “The time before the music and pre-ceremony there was no activity,” said Maxwell.
“People were there fairly early, so a suggestion came out maybe we could try this. “It could be a very moving experience for a lot of people.” The Legion is asking people across the country to mail photographs and accompanying information (no original copies as they cannot be returned) to Dominion Command, 86 Aird Pl., Ottawa ON, K2L 0A1. Photographs and service records can also be sent by email to: RememberingThem@legion.ca or ALeurMemoire@ legion.ca. Any deceased veteran, whether they died before or after their years of service, is eligible to be included in the virtual wall, including those who served with the merchant navy and ferry command. The Virtual Wall of Honour and Remembrance will be shown annually at future Remembrance Day ceremonies, said Maxwell. For more information visit the website www.info@legion.ca.
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse perhaps you’re going to lose your job at some point between now and six months from now. You have the option to take a package or a retraining amount and leave. But if you want to stay employed you, and, say, 15 others who’ve received the same notice, are going to have to compete for a handful of positions. Imagine what this does to morale which is already in the toilet. The department affected goes into a tailspin. People’s reactions range from “the devil may care,” to panic-stricken. Whatever the response, it’s hard to go to work without looking at your colleagues sideways. Most of those whose positions may be affected have a tendency to reduce their efforts to the bare minimum. Part of the problem, and what causes much of the panic, is that people don’t have a Plan B, says Moira Hutchison, a life strategy mentor and coach. “When people work in the government, they feel like they’re set for life,” says Hutchison, owner of Wellness with Moira. “They have the pension and the health benefits. They may not even like their jobs, but they become so panicstricken because the idea they had of safety and security has been stripped away from them. They are stuck.” For the last 10 years, Hutchison has been connecting clients with a number of selfhelp methods – ranging from hypnosis to self-affirmation and
coaching -- designed to help them get “unstuck”. “People forget what motivated them to get into these jobs in the first place,” explains Hutchison. “When the cuts come, they get frozen into this worst-case scenario kind of thinking. But before they hit a crisis, they need to be tapping into resources to make sure they have the tools for self-care, and are equipped to handle these things when they see it coming rather than waiting until the crisis hits.” Hutchison adds that, with so many layoffs occurring at once, people would be well-served to tap into their entrepreneurial skills, thinking about ways to turn their passions into money-making ventures. “People aren’t going to be able to just go and work at Tim Horton’s,” says Hutchison. “They require jobs of equal calibre to what they’re doing now. But these jobs don’t exist, so they are going to have to create one for themselves.” She says everyone in government – regardless of whether their jobs are imminently affected or not – would be well-served to escape from the mindset that they are “lifers” in the government. A little innovation and entrepreneurship within their jobs could make them a lot happier and more productive, and it may just help them minimize that nasty public perception. R0011654688/1004
Legion to create virtual wall for Remembrance Day
t’s not an easy time to be a public servant. In Ontario, slightly more than half of teachers are locked in battle with the government. At the federal level, departments continue to implement broad and deep cuts to meet the Conservative party’s 2012 budget targets. On top of the internal strife, government workers must also deflect the near daily onslaught of criticism from the public and the media, which tend to portray them as greedy, lazy, and spoiled. There’s a widely-held perception, after all, that the public service is where talent and innovation go to die. Once people sign on, they’re there for life. No need to work hard. Push some paper. Organize a conference call now and again. Then you can just kick back and enjoy the ride – or, in this case, a lucrative benefit package. The sad thing is, as with most stereotypes, there’s some truth to this perception. It’s not surprising, really. The federal government employs a quarter of a million people, the largest employer in the country. The hiring process alone is a cumbersome and lengthy affair, often taking more than six months to fill even an entry-level position. There are written tests followed by a series of interviews by committee, where mechanical human resources officers tick off horribly detailed boxes designed to fit existing job descriptions. But if the hiring process is archaic, the firing process is positively draconian. In the private sector, you get a pink slip, maybe a package and someone walks you out the door, ideally with some kind of career transition counselling. In government, you get a notice that maybe, possibly,

Councillors want digital signs in rural, suburban areas Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - The desire among city councillors to move ahead with permitting digital billboards in the city pitted rural and suburban councillors against urban representatives at a Sept. 25
meeting. In the end, despite 700 comments from the public, mostly in opposition to the idea, the urban area will be open to digital billboards – with a list of restrictions. Those rules will make Ottawa’s digital billboards the dimmest and most restricted
advertising screens in the country, said Peter Giles, a project and program manager with the city’s planning and infrastructure department. Still images (not videos) on the LED lit signs will have to remain for a minimum of 10 seconds before changing, and the signs will have to be the

least bright in Canada. The locations will also be very restricted: digital signs won’t be allowed in rural or predominantly residential areas, near heritage properties or on hydro corridors and there are generous setback distances to keep them away from highway on- and off-ramps, parkways and villages. Giles estimates that 22 of the 393 documented conventional billboards in the city could be converted to digital signs under the new rules. That didn’t please some councillors on the planning committee, including Barrhaven councillor and planning committee vice chairwoman Jan Harder. “You said we are going to be the most restrictive in the country. The question is, why? Why do we need to be?” Harder asked city staff during the Sept. 25 meeting. “I just think this is way overly cautious.” If digital billboards are more attractive and offer more timely information than standard billboards, Harder said, why not allow them? The planning committee
voted in favour of Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley’s direction to ask staff to come back in a year to look at expanding the digital billboard program to other areas, including rural and suburban sections of Ottawa. Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs was the only member of the committee to vote against the digital billboard proposal. One of four pilot project billboards is located in her ward, at Carling and Kirkwood avenues, and her office receives numerous complaints that it is distracting. “I don’t interpret that as having access to more and better information,” Hobbs said, adding that she was disappointed with staff’s recommendation. “What is the benefit to our constituents? I think we have the time and the benefit of being cautious,” Hobbs said. “We should be considering enhancements to our public spaces instead of just a revenue stream.” Allowing digital signs will allow for the city to charge $2,500 for a digital billboard
permit – that’s $700 more than a conventional billboard. For sites that don’t qualify under the guidelines, an advertiser can apply for a minor variance to get an exemption for a digital billboard. That would also cost $2,500 on top of the permit. Orléans Coun. Bob Monette was concerned the city won’t be making enough money from digital billboards. “My only concern is that we’re not getting enough bang for our buck,” Monette said. “We’re almost breaking even, we should be doing better than breaking even.” Until now, the only types of digital signs allowed were digital scrolling text as part of “message centre” signs and video signs for drive-through restaurants. Digital signs are considered more efficient because they can display a greater number of messages, so they are more cost-effective; there is a greater supply of advertising, making it more affordable to small businesses; and they are easier and less expensive to maintain, according to a city report.

Hundreds honour fallen police and peace officers Joe Lofaro Metro
EMC news - Droplets of water dabbed the caps of several hundred uniformed police officers who stood in the rain on Parliament Hill Sunday, Sept. 30, to pay tribute to their fallen comrades at the 35th annual Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day. The inclement weather wasn’t enough to keep hundreds of bystanders and family members of police officers from gathering around the perimeter of the Parliament Hill lawn to observe the throngs of officers from Thunder Bay, Toronto, and several other Canadian police forces during the ceremony. Margaret Mills came from Chatham, Ont. with her son and daughter-in-law, both of whom are police officers in Toronto. “I’m very proud of them. We’re all here to support them even standing in the rain,” she said wearing a soaked rain jacket. “They’re there for us in all kinds of weather so I can stand for a few minutes to honour them.” Canada’s Public Safety

Hundreds of uniformed police and peace officers from across the country march onto Parliament Hill to pay tribute to their fallen comrades at the 35th annual Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day on Sept. 30 Minister Vic Toews referred to police officers as “heroes” as he opened the ceremony with
his speech about sacrifice and remembrance. There are more than 800 names on the Police
and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Honour Roll. “All Canadians mourn the
death of police and peace officers, but none feel the loss more personally, more pro-
foundly, and more painfully than their families and their colleagues,” said Toews. “Our thoughts and prayers are with you, especially today.” The minister also laid a wreath on the front steps. The 2011 passing of Const. Vincent Roy of the Bromont, Que. police force was observed at this year’s ceremony. Canadian Police Association president Tom Stamatakis said three historical names were also added to this list. Speaking at the end of the ceremony, Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau called the show of community support at the memorial “outstanding.” “It’s very heart-warming when you’re marching and people are applauding,” he said. Bordeleau said 14 members of the Ottawa police lost their lives in the line of duty in the force’s history – the most recent one being Ottawa police Const. Eric Czapnik, who was fatally stabbed Dec. 29, 2009. “It’s good to recognize the fact that our police officers day in, day out put their lives on the line and for that they do that for the safety of our community.”
Glebe association looks at incorporating ‘Glebe Annex’ Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news – At a recent Glebe Community Association meeting, board members discussed the possibility of adding a neighbourhood west of Bronson Avenue to official boundaries. The Glebe Annex is to the northwest of the Glebe, bounded by Bronson Avenue to the east and Carling Avenue to the North. At the Glebe Community Association’s Sept. 25 meeting, members of the board and residents discussed the possibility of incorporating the area in the association. Planning committee chairman Bobby Galbreath asked the board to consider making a decision, one way or another on the area this year.
“It has come up a number of times in meetings,” Galbreath said. “A decision needs to be made.” Association president Lynn Barlow agreed. “I think we should talk about this during the course of the year and come up with a structure that could work for them and the GCA,” she said. Previously the Glebe had absorbed residents living in the Dow’s Lake neighborhood, located immediately south of the Glebe Annex, into its coverage area. Formal discussions by the Glebe board discussions regarding the Glebe Annex began in January 2011. The goal at that time was to hold a public consultation in the spring of 2011, which never took place. This lack of action on the matter is what led Gal-
breath to call on the board to move forward with the issue this year. Early decisions concerning the Glebe Annex saw the board agree to reach out to the community to gauge the level of support among residents for the idea. The Glebe association has participated in consultations held by developers and city staff concerning the annex, with the association making formal comments on projects set to be developed in that neighbourhood. Galbreath said such representation may be something that residents of the Glebe Annex may be interested in. A final decision on the issue, the board said, would be made at the association’s annual general meeting in the spring of 2013.

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ottawa women who have made the journey from being disenfranchised to leading city-hall consultation groups want to tell you their secrets. Members of the City for All Women Initiative are a diverse group of women with varying cultural backgrounds, many of whom are refugees or have overcome abuse and now hold an ear at city hall. They have worked on a consultation strategy for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreation master plan, which is underway, and they helped develop an equity and inclusion lens that is used to judge how city reports address diversity and inclusion issues. The initiativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest project is a new book, Community Facilitation Guide: Weaving Threads of Change. Members know better than anyone that encouraging change at city hall is as much of an art as a science.
ing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the book â&#x20AC;&#x201C; come in. While the city may not have the resources to reach out to every facet of the community, the initiative can train and give people the skills to become facilitators in their communities and take those issues to city hall and decision makers. After refining their approach through community facilitator workshops run by the initiative starting in 2010, the members decided to compile their knowledge into a practical guide in order to offer it to other communitybased organizations, governments and companies that want to learn how to facilitate community engagement and build skills at the grassroots level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is helping to empower ourselves, our communities and future generations,â&#x20AC;? said Tina Viscent, one of the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authors. The book provides an overview of the initiativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach to social change education and includes tips,
exercises and handouts for facilitating workshops. Most importantly to the City for All Women Initiative, the guide offers straightforward and practical tools for including the voices of a diverse population, including immigrants, aboriginal peoples, francophone, people with disabilities and those living in poverty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This book is the story of threading all of the experiences of the people who contributed,â&#x20AC;? said Terri-Lee Rayvals-Mele, one of the authors who contributed to the guide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a weaving of diversity, expertise and learning.â&#x20AC;? Community engagement professionals who had a hand in advising the project said they were very impressed by the practicality of the book and the level of detail. Aaron Burry, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general manager of community and social services, said the initiativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach has proved beneficial for the city and he is happy to see the guide made available to
other groups who could have the same impact thanks to the initiativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had a chance to try really innovative forms of community consultation in partnership with CAWI,â&#x20AC;? Burry said. Aleksandra Milosevic, a community developer at the Centertown Community Health Centre, said the guide has really excited her fellow community development professionals across the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I flipped through it and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m already ecstatic,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking at it, I see lots of possibility. It is truly a gift of learning.â&#x20AC;? Status of Women Canada and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union provided seed funding to print the books, but the initiative is relying on book sales to produce more and make it widely available. Print copies in English or French are available for $20 through the website at www. cawi-ivtf.org.

Brewer pool closed until new year Pinecrest pool also shut down for roof repair
October is Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month More than 47% of adults in Ontario have been exposed to or know someone who is the victim of child abuse and neglect. In Ottawa alone, only 42% of residents claim to know how to report abuse directly to the CAS. These numbers suggest there are far too many vulnerable children and youth, without a voice, in our community.

The planned summer closure meant the cancellation of 330 learn to swim courses, but the last-minute fall closure left users without access to 533 learn to swim courses at Brewer pool this fall. The councillor said he was disappointed and upset to hear of the longer-than-expected closure because he fully expected it to open on time in September. Pool users would be forgiven for thinking the same, as there was no notice posted at Brewer pool about the ongoing closure, nor did the complex’s voicemail message indicate the pool was still closed for repairs. The city sent a media release on Sept. 28 indicating that the pool would continue to be closed for ongoing repairs. Old Ottawa East resident Jules Audet swims at Brewer Complex two or three times a

The city is facing multiple pool problems, with pieces of the roof at Pinecrest pool becoming dislodged and Brewer pool also in need of repair. Repairs to Brewer pool have been delayed and will not be complete until next year. week, and he bicycled there to swim at the beginning of September only to find extensive construction was still underway. Assuming the construction would end soon and with no indication otherwise, Audet held out for his home pool, but now that the city has indicated it won’t open until 2013, he said he will be making other plans. “In terms of the information lacking, it doesn’t take long to inform people,” Audet said. “I don’t know why they didn’t do that.” City staff helped pool users find alternate locations wherever possible, Chernushenko said. According to the city, 11 fall Brewer pool courses were relocated to other pools. Part of the contingency plan includes putting off repairs that were planned for the Sawmill Creek pool this fall. That work has been delayed until 2013.
it should ensure that some of the money collected from development charges goes to enhancing existing recreational infrastructure to a level that can keep pace with the growing population that it creates. “Obviously the investment of adequate dollars into lifecycle maintenance saves many more dollars in reconstruction,” he said. All swim programming at Pinecrest, including aqua fitness classes and public swims, have been cancelled. “The city wishes to thank
residents for their patience,” Chenier wrote. In a recently released report on the city’s infrastructure, the majority of Ottawa’s 29 indoor and outdoor pools were listed in fair condition – a larger proportion than the 43 per cent of overall recreation and culture infrastructure listed in fair condition. Forty per cent of the city’s recreation and culture infrastructure is in good to very good condition. With files from Jennifer McIntosh
POOL PROBLEMS
Brewer isn’t the only pool with problems this fall. The city had to close the Pinecrest pool in the west end. The unexpected closure is the result of faulty ceiling panels that were originally replaced in 2009, according to a written statement from Chenier. It’s too early to say how much the repairs will cost, but the city has already put $2.6 million of maintenance into that pool since 2004. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said in an email that residents are being offered passes to alternate facilities. While the roof at Pinecrest may be a warranty issue rather than a maintenance one, Chiarelli added that as council drafts the new development charges bylaw,
“People feel it’s hard to infringe on parental rights, and they’re naturally hesitant to involve themselves,” says Barbara MacKinnon, Executive Director of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa. “When reporting to CAS, it doesn’t mean we are going to remove a child from their home. It is about assessing the situation and discovering whether the family may benefit from support services.” Signs may not always be obvious in a child who has been abused or neglected. This is why it is our responsibility, as a community, to stay informed of the signs of abuse and learn when and who to call to help a child. “If your gut tells you that something’s wrong, then it probably is,” continues MacKinnon. Not all calls received by CAS result in an investigation, and only an extremely small percentage of investigations require that a child or youth be removed from the family home. Most often, the intervention involves simply connecting the family to services within the community. Last year, in more than 90 per cent of cases where CAS became involved, work was done with the family and the child stayed home. To learn more about the warning signs of abuse, visit useyourvoice.ca.

EMC news - Swimmers in Old Ottawa South are out of luck this fall. All programs at the pool at the Brewer Complex have been cancelled until the new year due to delays in construction while repairing the pool’s roof. The pool closed in June with a promise to re-open in September, but now the pool isn’t expected to re-open until “early 2013,” according to city spokeswoman Jocelyne Tuner. The work was needed to replace the ceiling, lighting and pool ventilation system, as well as to remove asbestos, repair walls and build an entrance ramp. But when workers dug into the ceiling, engineers determined that the structural roof deck itself was worse for wear and needed repairs. “When work was conducted, structural engineers determined that the structural roof deck had to be repaired before the building could reopen to the public,” Dan Chenier, general manager of parks, recreation and cultural services, said in a statement. The additional work will cost $400,000 on top of the $1.18 million price tag for the original project; $615,000 of that was slated for ceiling repairs, while $319,000 was supposed to go towards the ventilation system. The remaining $250,000 was budgeted for the accessible entrance ramp. “If anyone had known it was that bad, we would have done it differently,” said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. What’s not accounted for is the loss in revenue from program registrations.

High-tech rebound welcome news for city, province Cisco ahead of schedule to hire 300 new staff in Ontario Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com
EMC news - The city and province hope one high-tech company’s growth is a sign of things to come. In August 2011, Cisco and the province entered into an agreement that aimed to create 300 new jobs in Ontario over five years. Cisco checked in with the government on Sept. 25 to report 134 jobs have already been added: 96 in Ottawa and 38 in Toronto. “Cisco could be doing what they’re doing anywhere in the world,” said Ontario Economic Development Minister Brad Duguid during a press conference hosted at Cisco’s offices on Innovation Drive. Duguid and Ottawa WestNepean MPP Bob Chiarelli were part of the Kanata-based event, appearing via a Ciscodesigned videolink from Toronto. Duguid said Ontario’s low corporate tax rate and Ottawa’s skilled workforce helped Cisco choose the city for expansion. The five-year agreement to create 300 jobs also came with a $25 million investment from the province. Cisco Canada’s vice-president Ron McDougall said
Ontario presented “a compelling case” for the company’s growth. The Kanata location now has about 400 employees and another company manager said the original agreement to add 300 positions in Ontario could be eclipsed if conditions remain positive. “This is excellent news for Ottawa’s families and Ottawa’s businesses,” said Chiarelli, who added that hightech jobs are returning to the city. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson attended in person. Watson also said there’s an “upward swing” in tech jobs. Following a tour of two large technology labs, Watson said the city’s Invest Ottawa program has been well funded by council and can help companies that want to locate here or expand operations. He said assistance includes fast-tracking building permits and zoning applications, but the city can’t pump cash into businesses like the province does. “Under the Municipal Act … we don’t have the ability to directly finance companies,” Watson said. “We’re more of a facilitator so they can access

And I’m the lobbyist-in-chief.” Watson said Invest Ottawa has been operating for less than a year but will ask for an update at the finance committee later this year. The city’s economic development offi-
cer is tasked with measuring the effectiveness of Invest Ottawa’s operations. “So far it’s been very aggressive and very impressive,” Watson said of Invest Ottawa. Wilkinson said she’s happy to see high-tech growth in her ward. She said large hightech companies want space to
grow, which makes Kanata an attractive location in the city. Geography also plays a part. “A lot of people in hightech live in the west end of the city, so that’s been a help (in having companies choose Kanata),” Wilkinson said. “And if they’re going to expand, it makes sense to do that
where they already are.” She said that when National Defence staff move into the former Nortel campus at Carling Avenue and Moodie Drive, the high-tech firms there will be displaced. Wilkinson said at least two of those companies have already decided to move to Kanata.

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

University celebrates leading research labs Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
Mona Nemer, vice-president of research at the university, and her colleagues have been discussing the need for a photonics research facility since 2009. Once completed, Nemer said the building would benefit not only the university, but for the city and rest of the country as well.
“Many people ask me why photonics,” she said. “But I say why not photonics? It is almost like, we have to study it, why not study it well.” Nemer added that the research facility will likely attract people from around the world wanting to study photonics.

Ottawa set to roll the dice on new casino Mayor backs gambling facility Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Mayor Jim Watson is backing a new casino for Ottawa and he’ll ask the rest of city council to do the same. The mayor took to Twitter to announce his support for an Ottawa casino on Sept. 24. “I will ask council to signal interest, in principle, in a new gaming facility (no location yet). This would allow the (Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation) to seek proposals,” the mayor stated through his Twitter account. An Ottawa casino would help the city earn more revenue at a time when aging infrastructure costs are creeping up, Watson said. He is proposing to spend revenue from a new casino equally on infrastructure renewal, job creation and economic development. “Every Ottawa dollar spent at the Gatineau casino is a dollar lost for Ottawa taxpayers – it is time that we repatriate that money and use it to create jobs here in Ottawa,” Watson said in the statement. “With infrastructure challenges and
federal job cuts in Ottawa, we cannot miss out on a tremendous opportunity like this.” From Casino Lac-Leamy in nearby Gatineau to churchbasement bingos, gambling is already available and prevalent, Watson said. “My view is, let’s repatriate some of that money from Quebec and put it into the Ontario economy through jobs, economic development and to help pay for some of our infrastructure,” Watson said. The mayor added that Ottawa has the “worst of both worlds” right now because gambling revenue goes to Gatineau and Quebec across the river, while Ottawa and Ontario must fund gambling addiction programs for citizens who use the Lac-Leamy facility. LOCATION
“I’ve said all along that my preference would be close to transit and the urban core,” Watson said. “But that doesn’t preclude someone from out at the airport, or downtown, or the raceway from putting a bid together.”
That’s exactly what the Rideau-Carleton Raceway intends to do, said spokesman Alex Lawryk. The raceway already has an existing facility and room for parking, which would make it much cheaper to add to and convert into a casino, he said, adding that gambling in this region might not be prevalent enough to support a multimillion dollar investment in a new facility. When it comes to the mayor’s support for a more urban location, Lawryk said: “Obviously we’re not enthralled.” While city council declared its unanimous support for more gambling at the raceway last summer by authorizing gaming tables as a pilot project, it now appears that support has run dry, he said. “There is no clarity from council on this issue,” Lawryk said. The raceway couldn’t even get its gaming tables program underway because OLG announced a modernization of its gambling program a month later, effectively putting gaming tables on ice. A location wouldn’t be de-

The city would have the final say over rezoning a site to accommodate a new gambling facility. Officials from Ottawa Tourism and the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce chimed in on the mayor’s press release, stating that a gaming facility could drive economic development and increase tourism in the city. “An Ottawa gaming facility could bring tremendous economic benefits to existing Ottawa businesses,” David Donaldson, chairman of the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce, said in the statement sent out by the mayor’s office. “Proceeding in this process will make potential investors confident that the City of Ottawa is willing to consider a proposal.”
NEXT STEPS
Members of the public were set to have a chance to voice their opinions on a possible Ottawa casino during a finance and economic development committee meeting on Oct. 2, after this newspaper’s deadline. In an unusual move, the meeting was to be held in the evening to make it easier for residents to come to city hall and participate in the discussion. A report directing city staff to “research the economic benefits” of a gaming facility and consult Ottawa Public Health will be presented during that meeting. The committee’s recommendation will be considered by full city council on Oct. 10. If it gets the thumb’s up, Watson would write to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to signal that the city would support a new gaming
facility in principle. In a press release that followed the Twitter announcement, the mayor said such a letter would not commit the city to a casino, but it would allow the OLG to issue a request for bids from possible casino builders. Sometime in 2013, when the bidding is complete and a proponent has been selected, the public will have another chance to tell members of the committee what they think about the idea. When it comes to concerns that the mayor is putting the cart before the horse by declaring his support in principle before hearing from the public and about the impacts from Ottawa Public Health, Watson said it doesn’t make sense to do that research if council decides not to back a new casino, so declaring conditional support is the first step.

EMC news - After a 17-year hiatus, community-published news is back in Overbrook. The Overbrook News, an Overbrook Community Association initiative, had 4,000 papers published of its inaugural September issue. Spearheaded by association board members Wendy Dennys and Martine Joly, the two women took a newsletter and turned it into a 16-page broadsheet newspaper. Looking at their first attempt at building a newspaper, both are thrilled with the finished product. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On a scale of one to 10, I would give this paper a 10.5,â&#x20AC;? Dennys said. Dennys credited the rebirth of the paper to a community partnership with the Community Development Framework, a non-profit organization which focuses on community initiatives and projects. The organization gave the association $2,000 to help fund the paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production. The rest of the funding came through advertising with local businesses. Dennys said one of the original papers from 17 years ago featured some of the same advertisers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is great to see everyone come back together,â&#x20AC;? Dennys said.

EMC news- For 10 days only this fall, people can witness 41 different butterflies species, living together in one greenhouse, take flight. The annual Ottawa Butterfly Show in the Nesbitt Biology Building at Carleton University began on Sept. 29 and will be open until Oct. 8. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. everyday, people will have the rare opportunity to watch butterflies in action. Greenhouse manager, Edward Bruggink has worked on the show since its inception, 13 years ago. “This show offers education and fun,” Bruggink said. “It is a show everyone can enjoy.” At the show last year more

than 10,000 people visited the greenhouses. Bruggink said the butterflies come in from around the world, in five different shipments. Some have already cocooned, so students from the biology department help transport and place the cocoons in a mesh casing, which is displayed at the back of the greenhouse. The staff also encourages families to come right when the show opens, because that is when emergence happens. “It is a miracle,” Bruggink said. “Every time I see it, it is amazing. It is definitely so great to see.” From caterpillars, cocoon and then butterfly, the show offers a rare glimpse of the lifespan of a butterfly. Most species live for a total of three
weeks. Of the species in the greenhouse, Bruggink said there are two of the world’s largest moth, the Atlas moth, found in tropical settings in Southeast Asia. The show is free, but does accept donations. People are encouraged to bring their cameras and wear bright colours to the show, which Bruggink said will attract the butterflies. The Greenhouse is located in the Nesbitt building, on the corner of University Drive and Raven Road. Group tours are available for schools or youth group tours during the school week beginning on Monday, Oct. 1 to Friday, Oct. 5, 2012, through the non-profit organization, Let’s Talk Science. Please contact events. letstalkscience@gmail.com to book a tour or for more information. More information about the show, along with directions to the building are available on the Carleton website at www1.carleton.ca/ biology/annual-biology-butterfly-show.

Woman rewarded for St. Laurent CPR heroics
Plenty to be thankful for this time of year
E
very day back in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;30s, according to Mother, was a day of thanksgiving. Looking back, there was indeed much to be thankful for. And as Thanksgiving is upon us, perhaps it is appropriate that those things we took for granted so many years ago, should be remembered. So what are some of the memories of those Depression years that have lasted through the decades? Those that in recalling them have me wondering what has happened to what we took for granted so long ago? Let me turn back the clock and take you back to a more gentle time, as I recall with thankfulness lessons learned and a way of life that was more safe and secure. I will be forever grateful that I lived in a time when it was perfectly safe to walk five kilometres of back country roads to a school without fear. Even in the cities so far away children felt secure and a motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warning was not to be wary of strangers, but rather to keep out of the ditches of water so that we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch our deaths of cold. I am thankful I lived in
MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories an era where the owner of the general store trusted his customers. Where you filled your own bag of cookies, put it on the scale yourself and had the cost added to your motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill which hung on a nail behind the counter. And if you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money to pay for your groceries, you could offer a trade. Sometimes weeks would go by and no money changed hands. It was a time when a young child was taught that honesty was all a part of doing business. I am thankful today that I grew up in an era where a deal was made with the simple shake of a hand and it was binding. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a lawyer to draw up papers to trade a couple head of cattle for an old Model T or a load of hay or to exchange a steer or a few loads of gravel for
your first car. Today, I am thankful I grew up in a home where there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of money for frivolities. It was a time when we children made our own fun. Toys from a piece of whittled wood, playthings like empty spools of thread, a button box and Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue, all filling hours of fun and not costing a penny. I am thankful today that because we lived in a house overflowing with aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandparents, I learned at an early age what it meant to be tolerant. I was taught that it was more blessed to give than receive. In giving up our bed for an elderly aunt, Mother reminded us how the aunt enriched our lives with her stories, her hand-knitted mitts, and pans of Johnny Cake, the best I have ever tasted.
ing a seizure. She used cloth to cool down his body temperature and stop the seizure. She said when the paramedics arrived, his temperature was 103. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He told me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lady, you saved his life. If you hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t brought down the temperature, he would have had a second seizure. He could have had permanent brain damage, or would have died.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Verreault thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that citizens take advantage of courses, like the one she is now taking in Blackburn Hamlet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were very happy when he heard it, and we were happy to help,â&#x20AC;? said Serge Leduc of Community CPR Project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First aid, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about, saving lives. Sometimes it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take much.â&#x20AC;? Leduc said he encourages citizens to take a course and familiarize themselves with CPR, first aid and defibrillator procedures no matter who teaches the course. He said that five minutes of proper first aid can be the difference between life and death. The Community CPR Project offers courses and has a foundation to provide subsidized or free training for low-income participants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one should have any obstacles to taking those classes,â&#x20AC;? Leduc said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People like Linda who are willing to make the move, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we need.â&#x20AC;?

Today, I am thankful we had a wonderful doctor who would drive out from Renfrew, plowing through snow and blinding rain and whose only pay might be a dressed chicken or a couple dozen eggs and some fresh butter. I remember him sitting by the bed of a very sick little girl until the dawn crept into my bedroom window and my fever broke. I am thankful today that I grew up in a home where every child had a special worth. Where even the youngest was made to feel important and daily chores, done to a parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s satisfaction, was all part of growing up. We were taught that it was all right to fail, and that from each failure came a lesson. This is the legacy handed down to us by a generation of people who, although never rich in material wealth, were rich in the things that mattered. This is the time to be thankful for that era that made us what we are today and to be truly thankful for all the blessings we enjoy today living in a free and bountiful country. May each of you have a happy Thanksgiving.
Ruthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Appointment Calendar Used To Be The TV Guide
EMC news - An OrlĂŠans woman got a good deed paid forward when a local company agreed to recertify her first aid training for free after she told them about her life-saving efforts only days earlier. Linda Verreault, who lives in Charlemagne village, was contacted by the Community CPR and Prevention Project to see about recertifying her skills, but told the company that the cost was too steep. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money right now,â&#x20AC;? she said she told the representative on the phone. Verreault, who works with children and adults with various disabilities and has used her first aid training while at work, is currently working part-time. But after she told the rep she had used skills she learned in a previous CPR certification course to help save a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life just days earlier, the rep tried to see what could be done. Verreault then got a call saying the company would let her take the certification course for free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tell you what, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll talk to my boss and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll call you back,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Verreault said on Sept. 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I start tonight, a free CPR course. They said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re paying it forward.â&#x20AC;? Verreault said she was shopping at the St. Laurent Centre when a woman started screaming that her small child had stopped breathing. Verreault, then in a change room, quickly threw on her clothes and ran out to see what was happening. The child had a very high temperature and started hav-

FOOD
Sweet chop suey loaf is far from Chinese fare
O
n one of our visits to Jeff’s parents, his mother and I went shopping in the local supermarket. In the bakery section, we came across a loaf of bread called a chop suey loaf. We could see that it contained fruit, not Chinese vegetables, and decided to give it a try. With a soft texture and bits of candied fruit scattered through each slice, it was delicious, plain or toasted. After some experimenting when I got home, I came up with a similar loaf that I could make in my bread machine. To make this, use the diced candied fruit that you use in holiday baking. The recipe calls for skim milk powder and water. In some recipes, you can substitute milk for the dry milk powder, but not in this one. Milk makes the loaf dense, while the skim milk powder gives a much lighter texture. CHOP SUEY LOAF
• 3/4 cup water • 1/4 cup skim milk powder • 1 egg • 1 tsp. salt • 1 tbsp. white sugar • 2 tbsp. butter or margarine, at
Farm Fresh Ontario
TURKEY
PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff room temperature • 2 1/3 cups flour • 1 cup candied fruit • 1/4 cup raisins • 1 1/4 tsp. bread machine yeast
Place the remaining flour in the bread pan and then add the floured fruit. Leave a small area free of fruit, and measure the yeast into that spot – you don’t want the yeast sticking to the fruit and not mixing into the batter. Set the bread machine for the “sweet” cycle or on some machines it’s called the “fruit and nut” cycle. If it has the automatic “extras” feature, press the “extras” button. Don’t use the “delay” cycle. This recipe makes a 1.5pound loaf. If your bread machine has a setting for different loaf sizes, press the one for this size. Start the machine. If your machine doesn’t have the “extras” feature, it will beep when it is time to add extras. Add the raisins and let the machine continue until the bread is done. Remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool for an hour before serving.
Before you start, measure the candied fruit into a sieve and rinse it under cold water to remove excess sugar or syrup. Spread the fruit on two sheets of paper towel and blot up as much of the water as you can. Set aside. If your machine has an “extras” option allowing the user to add fruit or nuts automatically, measure the raisins into that section. If it doesn’t, you will have to add the raisins later. Place the water, milk powder, egg, salt, sugar and butter in the bread machine pan in that order. After measuring the flour, use about two tablespoons of it to lightly dust the candied fruit.

Naila Mohammed breaks a board with an axe kick as part of the Phoenix Taekwondo Martial Arts Academy demonstrations during Sports Day in Ottawa South on Saturday, Sept. 29, at the Greenboro Park and Community Centre.
EMC news - A recent music festival left a city councillor’s home shaking, something he wasn’t too happy about. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said the city needs to look into the physical impact of loud noises: vibrations. Cherushenko’s Old Ottawa South home was rocking recently during the House of PainT festival. While he couldn’t hear the music emanating from under the Dunbar Bridge, Chernushenko said his house was vibrating non-stop during the performances. “I couldn’t say it was noisy,” he said. “It was the non-stop buzzing of my home and my body and the street I was standing on. It’s extremely uncomfortable what it does to the body.” The councillor will be submitting an inquiry to city staff after he was told that bylaw staff has no way to measure the subwoofer vibrations, nor any way to enforce a city bylaw when it comes to physical “buzzing.” “It’s about the physical effect and the fact that you can’t get away from it. You
can’t close your windows,” Chernushenko said, adding the city needs a better understanding of the vibrations’ impact on people’s health and the condition of neighbouring buildings.
It was the nonstop buzzing of my home and my body and the street I was standing on. It’s extremely uncomfortable. COUN. DAVID CHERNUSHENKO
“I’m positive we need to govern it in some way,” he said. Chernushenko didn’t want to single out the one festival. While it was his most visceral personal experience with the phenomenon, the issue of noise vibrations is a growing one in the city and North America as audio technology changes. A cursory Google search revealed that many jurisdictions are looking at the issue, but they have also found more questions than answers, Chernushenko said.
