fered by the project’s partners. “It can be something that differentiates you from the other (applicants),” said Taylor. Mentorship and networking opportunities are built into the project, along with the opportunity to receive letters of reference and chances to complete high school volunteer requirements. The phrase ‘It’s who you know’ sounds elitist when applied to the job hunt, but it doesn’t have to be. Working alongside community members on a volunteer project or being enrolled in a training course can offer opportunities to network. Accessing a flow of useable information -- career advice or knowledge about job openings -- can be difficult if a person doesn’t know where to look for it. While the full project - complete with a full partner list and associated training - is expected to begin in early fall, opportunities to become involved are likely to arise over the summer. A June 15 community painting project in Lincoln Heights was the first in what promises to be a number of volunteer projects. Taylor said he expects other partners to join the new initiative. “I’m looking forward to seeing how broadly and strongly it grows,” he said. Residents living outside Bay Ward boundaries also welcome to join.

EMC news - A volunteer service project designed to give aspiring workers a foot in the door is being rolled out in Bay Ward. Providing opportunities for training, certification and networking, the project aims to address some of the concerns heard often from residents by Bay Coun. Mark Taylor. At community events and meetings - including last month’s public discussion regarding crime residents have expressed frustration over job searches, saying they feel locked out of better job opportunities. “It’s a reality for a lot of people,” Taylor said. “I hear a lot of people saying they need access to training and jobs so they can access a better life.” The volunteer service project is being put together with the help of volunteers and community partners, such as the Distress Centre of Ottawa and the Ottawa Paramedic Service -- both of which offer useful training courses that can boost a person’s resume. Taylor said that while many programs exist for skills training, broad skills that can be applied to many workplaces - in conjunction to existing knowledge - can make potential employers take note. Training in first aid courses, conflict resolution, intervention skills and active listening are easy to accomplish and are of-

EMC news - In a bid to draw attention for his private members bill, Fairness is a Two-Way Street, Carleton-Mississippi 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 truckers 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

EMC news - 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 smileshaped 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

Habitat for Humanity NCR marks 20th anniversary 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
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, 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 urban 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
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

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 con-
tinue 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.”

Lowertown residents miffed by STO compromise Sussex reconstruction means buses will have to run down Boteler Street Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - A small group of Lowertown residents were stunned at a public meeting on June 13 when they were informed the city plans to build a roundabout in their community for the benefit of STO buses, which will be routed through neighbourhood streets. Residents expected to hear about a plan to move two historic homes on Sussex Drive to accommodate a widening of the road, a project set to begin this summer. Instead, the meeting focused on a related plan to turn a four-way stop at Union Street and the northern leg of King Edward Avenue to accommodate a turnaround for STO buses waiting to start their routes through the ByWard Market in the afternoon. A roundabout wasn’t contemplated until it was determined that the removal of the Sussex bus lanes would be a problem for STO service, according to Ziad Ghadban, the city’s project manager for the road reconstruction. “It was developed in the late stages because we had a lot of work to do with the STO,” said Ghadban. “It was just, how do we get them to that time point in the most efficient manner if we take away that lane they had access to,” he said. The roundabout was designed in the late fall or early winter of 2012, Ghadban said. Residents didn’t find out about it until the June 13 meeting and chastised Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu
Fleury for keeping them in the dark for so long. “We did get some comments tonight that we do need to follow up on,” Fleury said, adding that some of the proposals for dealing with the STO bus issue were presented in preliminary public meetings on the road reconstruction project “Bottom line to is: it highlights once again that we need a solution for interprovincial transit to get buses at Bayview and and LeBreton (Transitway stations),” Fleury said. “Because every time we make streets that make sense … we’re going to live these impacts.” The new facility is needed because the Sussex reconstruction will remove a dedicated bus lane and reduce that road to one lane in each direction the section north of Boteler Street. As a result, STO buses that use that route to get to their layup point on the northern section of King Edward would be stuck in traffic for longer, driving up operating costs for the STO. After looking at a number of options, the city determined that routing STO buses through Lowertown via Boteler Street was the most efficient option. City staff could not immediately provide the cost to the city to build the roundabout for STO. That incensed Donna Kearns, who lives on that street. “I’m absolutely stunned,” she said at June 13 meeting. “If you do this to our street, you’re going to destroy our street.” Kearns was worried about the noise and air quality
King Edward layup at any given time in the afternoon, he said. That number will go down after the Rapibus system is in place this fall. He said the STO expects a 15 to 30 per cent reduction in the number of buses are certain points of the day. Nathan Davis, co-chairman of the King Edward Avenue Task Force, said the roundabout is another example of the city and National Capital Commission prioritizing their plan for a grand boulevard at the expense of Lowertown residents. The proposal would also include allowing only STO buses to turn left from Sussex onto Boteler, which is not permitted for other vehicles. BASKETBALL COURT
SOCIÉTÉ DE TRANSPORT DE L’OUTAOUAIS/SUBMITTED
Lowertown residents recently found out STO buses will be driving down Boteler Street and a new roundabout on Union Street will be constructed to accommodate transit because of the reconstruction of Sussex Drive. issues of having 20 buses rumble down her now-quiet street in the peak afternoon hour. A total of 124 STO buses
come over from Quebec to run routes through Ottawa before heading back to Gatineau each afternoon, said Pat Scrimgeour, transit planning
manager for OC Transpo. Those buses take different routes and wait at different points, so only about 20 of them would need to use the
There are preliminary plans to build a basketball court between the Rideau River and the northern section of King Edward, just south of Union Street. That area, which is on a hill, would be used for construction staging for the roundabout, which creates an opportunity to build a court there after the construction mess is cleaned up. The plan would also involve putting approximately five parking spaces in a small lot off Union Street. Fleury said members of the Lowertown Community Association have been lobbying to get a basketball court in their community, and the riverside location is a good one because it isn’t near homes where residents could be disturbed by the noise of people playing basketball. The court plan is very preliminary and residents will be consulted to see if that’s the best use of the space, Fleury said.

Residents asked to help keep public sex off Greenbelt 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.
FILE
A NCC vehicle sits in a parking lot on Slack Road leading to Greenbelt trails. Residents have been avoiding the trails because they have become a popular cruising site for gay men. 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 cruisingforsex.com posted a link to a Nepean-Barrhaven News story about the parking lot two days after it was published in November. “News reports residents complaining of sex in the park, used condoms, etc,” the Nov. 3, 2012 post reads. “Be considerate and discrete. Police are ‘aware’ but there is no report of a crackdown. Cruising for sex is mentioned.” Murray reminded residents that the municipal address of the lot is known to police. “If you see four or five cars parked in backwards with lone drivers, call the police,” he said. “You don’t have to leave your name or number and a car will go out and have
a look.” AREA CRIME
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 reports for both periods. But Murray said residents need to remember the importance of calling police. “Often thefts from vehicles don’t get reported,” he said. “And calls mean police are aware of any trends in an area.” The number to report a crime is 613-230-6211.

said the group’s start had modest roots, loosely forming in 1972 under a different name, the community centre committee, then a sub-committee of the Glebe Community Association, to help find a community centre site for the neighbourhood. In 1973, the city purchased St. James United Church for $300,000 with plans to turn the former church into a community centre. It was at that time that the former community centre committee became the Glebe

Community Centre Council, which began to formulate what type of renovations and programming was needed at the new centre. In 1974, the group officially became the Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group and it partnered with the city’s parks and recreation department and immediately began launching programming ranging from a daycare centre, sports groups and art classes. “We want to celebrate our anniversary,” Tsai-Davies said. The event will be a throwback to the early days of the group, with music from then and now, lots of food- including birthday desserts and a cash bar. “Everybody is invited,” Tsai-Davies said. “There is going to be great music and we welcome all to attend and to celebrate.” Video Dance, First Quality Sound and Barry and the Blasters, Rhythm and Blues Band will all be performing. Tickets are $6 for adults, while young people are free. Tickets are on sale at Compact Music, the Glebe Community Centre and the Ottawa Folklore Centre as well as at the door.

Preliminary plans revealed for Rideau River crossing 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 multi-use 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 club-owned 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 multiuse pathway.” Rick Baker, manager of the tennis club, said the loss of parking is of concern, but he understands the city’s need to curb, pave and widen the pathway. He added that the club sees more 300 people a day, and the club’s main concern is making sure members are not affected with the final plans or during construction of the bridge and pathway. The crossing will be four metres wide and the pathway will be three metres wide. For Overbrook resident Louise Renauld, she feels it’s important for the crossing to have some type of segregated bicycle path. “It would just make me, and some other older individuals maybe, feel more comfortable crossing,” she said. Steve Zabarylo said there are a number of positives that come along with project, including connecting the two
communities. Historically, a seasonal summer wooden footbridge located between the west river bank in Strathcona Park and the east river bank near the club on Donald was used to connect Vanier and Overbrook to Sandy Hill. When that practice was discontinued many people continue to cross the river barefoot when the water is low 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.

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. And as a May 2012 Huffington Post blog pointed out, perhaps the
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse 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 – for days! Until finally, she sent me another nasty note on Facebook. And that was the end of the line. Evidently, this individual and I could not – and were not Facebook friends. We couldn’t handle it. She wasn’t using Facebook prop-
erly, 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

What are the possibilities of offending or alienating each person, and more importantly, what are the consequences if it all blows up? 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

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. Most of all – and take it from me, I’ve learned the hard way – be polite. It will get you much farther and, ultimately, allow you to keep more friends.

EMC news - The United Way Ottawa announced it will be investing more than $20 million dollars into the community this year. The United Way made the announcement that $24.5 million will be invested to programs, organizations and front-line services this year at the Michele Heights Community Centre on June 17. About half of the funding will go directly to three of the organization’s focused areas: “growing up great,” “belonging to community” and “turning lives around.” Jamie McCracken, chairman of the United Way board, attended the event, saying this funding announcement was only made possible because of the support from donors. “Today’s announcement shows that thanks to the generosity of our donors,” he said. “You can see how this work is changing lives today and contributing to the positive community improvements we want to see tomorrow.” The organization also released, for the first time, a report which details how donations made to the organization help contribute to change in the city at the announcement. The organization changed the way the way it allocates money raised from its annual campaign more than two years ago, crafting priorities and funding criteria in order to appeal to donors. Of the $24 million to be handed out, $12.8 million will be directed towards front-line programs, community-wide initiatives, targeted community investment and research focused on United Way’s three focused areas. “Growing up great” will receive
$2.9 million to support community development work, with 29 front-line programs delivered by 20 agencies receiving $2.2 million, the Ottawa Child and Youth Initiative and other community development strategies receiving $299,000 and the targeted community investment receiving $$383,000. “Belonging to community” will receive $3.9 million, with $2.6 million being given to 32 agencies that run 45 different programs in the city and $1.3 million will be divided to two community-wide initiatives, Hire Immigrants Ottawa and the Employment Accessibility Resource Network. “Turning lives around” will receive $4 million, with $3.3 million of the funding going to 27 agencies who run 31 programs in the city. The remaining $302,000 will be given to other community development strategies and $340,000 will be handed out in grants and targeted community investment funding.

EMC news - The city’s plan to spend an additional $80 million to put 700 more metres of the western leg of the light-rail line underground isn’t enough to placate one community group. Underground Solution, a community group led by Skead Street resident Lesley Taylor, said the group doesn’t like what the city is proposing. City staff revealed changes to the 1.2-kilometre western LRT line on June 13 in advance of a public open house that was set to take place this Monday. The new plans, which include burying an additional section of the line that runs behind homes on Skead Street, was meant to reflect concerns raised by the community, said transportation committee chairman Coun. Keith Egli. The new buried section will run from the edge of Rochester Field to Clearly Street, where a new station is proposed to be built. That’s not enough, Taylor said. Underground Solution wants the entire 9.5-km western LRT line buried. At the moment, the city is proposing to put just over three kilometres of that length underground, including the portion that will run under Richmond Road. “This is a step in the right direction and there are some good ideas here, but it needs to go further,” Taylor said, noting the changes don’t protect homeowners in the area of Dominion Avenue, where the rail line will still be at grade. The city’s alterations mean the train line will be underground where it passes closest to

homes and it will preserve the ability for people to use the green space between homes and the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, said deputy city manager Nancy Schepers. “(The city) forgot about the Barclay and Upper West,” Taylor said. “It’s not just six homes … There are a lot of condos there.” The cost of creating another section of tunnel can be contained to $80 million because the short length of that segment means it can be ventilated naturally with openings along the line, rather than with a more expensive ventilation system, Schepers said. That means passengers on the train will get a glimpse of sunlight as they pass by certain points in that segment. The city will dig down about half the depth of that section of tunnel and build up a small berm over top – a process known as “cut and cover.” A more robust station at Cleary and a pathway system that includes protected crossings to the river are also included in the new plan. At the request of the National Capital Commission, the city also looked at burying an even longer section of the line, including the part that runs through Rochester Field, but that analysis didn’t change the city’s preferred corridor, Schepers said. Russell Mills, NCC chairman, said on June 13 that the federal board needs some technical meat on the westward light rail expansion’s bones before they give their assent. Mills said the board, which held a teleconference to discuss the plans Thursday, is not yet in the position to make a decision one way or the other. With files from Alex Boutilier, Metro News

River path could turn Old Ottawa East into cycling link Combined with canal bridge, path would link LRT to Lansdowne: Chernushenko Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Building cycling links through Old Ottawa East will be an important way to capitalize on the city’s investment in a light-rail station at Lees, said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. The councillor pondered the neighbourhood’s potential as an active transportation area during an open house on the preliminary design for a multi-use pathway along the Rideau River. When looked at in a wider context, providing cycling links through the “island” neighbourhood that’s wedged between the Rideau Canal and Rideau River could become a vital cycling link to get people from the future light rail station at Lees to Lansdowne Park. As the crow flies, the distance from Lees Station to Lansdowne is about 1.5 kilometres. People bemoan Lansdowne’s distance from a rapid transit line, but building the proposed Rideau Canal Crossing footbridge at Fifth Avenue and Clegg Street and connecting it to a new river pathway would create that access to rapid transit.
“Here’s an out for you if you don’t want to drive,” he said. “You’ve created whole new ways where people can move around.” The path is proposed to stretch from Belmont Street in the south end of the neighbourhood along the Rideau River to the University of Ottawa’s campus at 200 Lees Ave. It’s a project the community has been asking for for several years. In fact, it’s already a well-used route in some parts, where bicycles and feet have worn a dirt pathway along the river in some points. “The community has a big investment in this project getting done,” said Old Ottawa East Community Association president John Dance. Part of the trail through Springhust Park was already built as part of a recent sewer project. That section was constructed with stone dust – a fine, gravel-like surface that some residents say they would like to see used for the entire length of the pathway. “It’s more natural, it’s cooler and less intrusive on nature,” said Carol Alette, a resident who attended a June 12 open house at the Old Ottawa East Community Centre.
The city is planning to pave the entire path, which is the standard for multi-use paths in the urban area of the city, said transportation planner Robin Bennett, who is leading the project. “That’s what we’re aiming at,” Bennett said. Stone dust could be considered, but Bennett didn’t think it would be the treatment chosen in the end. The most complicated – and likely the most expensive portion – will be adding a ramp under the Transitway bridge at the Lees campus. “We may have to cut into the shoreline for the ramp,” Bennett said, due to the narrowness of the strip of land and Redesigning that section will also be important to ensure there is a safe, direct link for cyclists to get across Lees Avenue to the Transitway station, Bennett said. The Rideau River pathway isn’t the only cycling infrastructure proposed to come to Old Ottawa East. Earlier this week, the community got a glimpse of plans to rebuild it’s main artery, Main Street, as a “complete street” with cycling lanes. The city is spending $120,000 on the first design study for the pathway. Council would have to approve more money in the next budget for the project to proceed into detailed design.

EMC news - Frank’s Catering and Baked Goods owner Frank Spartico started out washing dishes in a kitchen when he was 14 years old. He worked his way from the bottom up and has been in the food industry for more than 20 years. He has always had a hunger for food knowledge and over the years has owned a gourmet sub shop, a deli, a bakery, and a restaurant. His famous sandwiches will be on sale for $1, along with an optional donation, on June 23 at his Greenbank Road restaurant, thanks to an annual fundraiser he hosts for the Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada - Ottawa Chapter. Spartico, who suffers from Tourette’s himself, started hosting the fundraiser three
years ago. It was a year after his son was dianosed with Tourette’s. Since the diagnosis, Spartico said he wanted to raise awareness and prevent his son from being bullied. “We got the president of the Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada to come out and talk to his class,” Spartico said. “Now if anyone asks about his tics, his classmates can explain what’s happening.” Aside from the actual event, a jar on the restaurant counter takes donations to the Tourette’s Syndrome Foundation in place of tips. Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, stereotyped, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. Spartico takes pride in creating most of his food from scratch.
His restaurant has a real family feel with his daughter working the counter. He said he hopes the fundraiser will be a real party. The festivities will kick off at 10 a.m. with a Tom Jones impersonator and last until 3 p.m. The Merivale High School band will make an appearance and there will be face painting and karaoke. There’s also cotton candy and raffle prizes – with the chance to have one of Frank’s sandwiches named after you for a year. “It’s going to be a really good time,” Spartico said. While he doesn’t have a specific fundraising goal in mind, this is the third year he has raised money for Tourette’s. The event will be at 283 Greenbank Rd on June 23.

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.
Honestly, they helped shaped Holly’s personality, and I couldn’t have done it with out the centre. JENNIFER LITTLEMORE, FORMER YOUVILLE CENTRE STUDENT
“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.

Old Ottawa South residents hesitant to change: survey Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
Hydro Ottawa is honoured to be the recipient of this year’s United Way Ottawa’s ‘Best Community Campaign’ award. 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.
EMC news - Results of a recent neighbourhood survey in Old Ottawa South indicates that a not-in-my-back-yard 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 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: NIMBYism, 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

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.

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. 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. Hydro Ottawa was also honoured to present Operation Come Home with United Way Ottawa’s ‘Turning Lives Around award’. The award recognizes those who help the homeless, people with mental health and addictions problems, and those in crisis get the support they need.

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.

Experimental Farm adds day camp choices Hands-on cooking and learning offered by Agriculture and Food Museum Dear friends,
Steph Willems
Our government is working hard to help our seniors stay healthy and independent for as long as possible.
EMC news - With Ottawa kids counting down the days, hours and minutes until school lets out for the summer, many parents are no doubt scrambling to find ways to keep them occupied. Summer camps are an option, but registration dates can all too often pass by unnoticed. The Canada Agriculture and Food Museum is offering parents and kids a choice in day camps at a convenient location that still offers rural charm. The opening of the muse-
Steph.willems@metroland.com
And I know how important physiotherapy is when you’ve had a setback, like an injury, surgery or a stroke. That’s why in April we were pleased to announce improvements that will double the number of Ontarians – mostly seniors – who will have access to physiotherapy, exercise and falls prevention classes in the community. In total, we will help over 200,000 more Ontarians be healthier with better access to physiotherapy. This is in addition to the 215,000 Ontarians that currently benefit from the province’s physiotherapy services.
when it comes to growing food, as well as cooking it. “The idea is really to make cooking and food fun,” said Marie-Sophie Desaulniers, Director, Visitor Experience. “Kids will learn new-ish food types and be able to prepare their own snacks for the day.” The museum was recently renamed to put more emphasis on food production and the processes that take food from the field to the dinner table. The spacious Learning Centre allows patrons to put that expanded mandate into practice, while the surrounding fields, barns and stables provides the
um’s new Learning Centre earlier this spring has allowed programming to expand at the Experimental Farm site, with classrooms and workshops ready to accept kids of varying ages. In addition to the museum’s pre-existing camps – the Kinder Farm Camp, Fun at the Farm Camp, City Farm Camp and Junior Farmer Camp – kids aged seven to 10 can now try their hand at cooking with the new Sprouting Chefs Camp. The new summer camp, which runs over five days each week starting July 2, is designed to give kids hands-on learning
“before” ingredients for the kitchen’s “after.” “The kids will learn to take care of a garden … and learn new recipes,” said Desaulniers. “They’re easy to make at home, and they can surprise their parents and siblings with it. We want them to learn where food comes from - to take a look at food that is holistic and make it fun.” Registration is accomplished online at www.agriculture.technomuses.ca. A full listing of the camps, dates, and activities that can be expected can also be found on the website. Organizers caution parents to book their week quickly, as camp spots can fill up in a hurry.
When it comes to exercise and fall prevention, twice as many seniors will soon benefit from classes that will be offered in retirement homes, community centres, and other locations. All Long-Term Care Home residents will receive 75 minutes of exercise and activation classes per week, in addition to one-on-one physiotherapy, if needed.
With these changes, wait times for physiotherapy delivered to people who need it in their homes will be dramatically reduced. Most importantly, it will be easier to access physiotherapy right across the province, including in small and rural communities. We will also integrate physiotherapists into family health care settings like Family Health Teams, Nurse Practitioner Led Clinics and Community Health Centres.
If you want to know more about these improvements, information is available online at www.ontario.ca/ physiotherapy, or you can call the Seniors’ INFOline at 1-800-387-5559. Together, we are making a real difference for people in our community. As always, please do not hesitate to contact my constituency office at 613-721-8075 or bob@bobchiarelli.com with any questions or comments you may have.
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 identifiers of drivers. The project will be the largest of its kind in Canada.

By improving how physiotherapy is delivered, we can keep seniors healthy, at home, and out of the hospital. It’s about better, more sustainable care, and it is all part of our Action Plan for Health Care and our Seniors Strategy.
Beginning June 27, 2013, the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) will collect the observational recordings of the race of drivers involved in traffic stops for a two-year period. Drivers will not be asked to identify their race. The focus of the project is officer perception of driver race. Passengers are not included in the study.
CARRIER OF THE MONTH!
We will strengthen the quality of one-on-one physiotherapy in long-term care homes, and continue to offer exercise classes in these locations. Eligibility is not changing.

Construction noise exemption approved for Carleton University Ottawa West News staff
EMC news - City council has approved more latenight construction noise in Capital Ward. Carleton University asked for some leeway under the city’s noise control bylaw in order to conduct work on a parking garage it is building overtop of the O-Train tracks. The motion put forward by the local councillor, David Chernushenko, states that the project includes bulk excavation concrete pouring and related works that require operation of construction equipment and vehicles around the clock. City staff said pile driving – the noisiest type of work – won’t be allowed
after 9 p.m. and will end around July 20. Work will continue for a week after that to extract the dug-up soil and rock and to assemble the parking structure. The nearest homes are 275 metres away from the work site, the motion notes. The councillor said that he was a little reluctant to move the motion because he will be able to hear the construction noise from his bedroom window, but he is in support of the noise bylaw exemption. The city had to fasttrack the exemption so the construction can be done in time for O-Train service to restart in late August, according to the motion put forward by Chernushenko.

Recycled flour bags served an indispensible role MARY COOK Memories
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 willy-nilly 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 Saturdaynight 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 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
Ottawa Valley Tours
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. See MOTHER, page 22

Strawberry parfait a great way to start day EMC lifestyle - This is an easy summer entertaining brunch idea. The parfaits can be made ahead to allow for relaxed and easy entertaining. Wheat berries are a true whole grain: they are loaded with nutrients; add a slight crunch and subtle nutty flavour to the parfait. Layers of luscious, creamy whipped ricotta, chewy wheat berries, slices of strawberries and maple syrup for sweetness, will have everyone endlessly dipping their spoons and clanking the bottom for more. INGREDIENTS
• 250 ml (1 cup) wheat berries • 25 ml (2 tbsp) packed golden brown sugar • 2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) salt • 475 g (16.75 oz) traditional ricotta cheese • 175 ml (3/4 cup) maple syrup • 1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise • 1 litre (4 cups) thinly sliced strawberries • 125 ml (1/2 cup) slivered almonds, toasted
PREPARATION
Rinse the wheat berries in a colander then drain and set aside. In medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, one litre (four cups) of water, the cinnamon sticks and salt. Add the wheat berries to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the wheat berries are tender, or about 90 minutes. When finished, drain any liquid and discard the cinnamon sticks. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to three days; tuck in cinnamon sticks to extend flavour.) Meanwhile, in a food processor, purée the ricotta until it’s completely smooth. Add 125 ml (1/2 cup) of maple syrup. Scrape the vanilla seeds from the pod and add into the cheese. Process until smooth. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to three days.) In eight dessert or wine glasses, put 25 ml (two tbsp) of wheat berries, a heaping 50 ml (1/4 cup) of strawberries and a heaping 25 ml (two tbsp) of the whipped ricotta mixture. Repeat layering and then sprinkle with almonds. Drizzle with the remaining maple syrup before serving.
• 1 scoop of Logical Whey Protein • 250 ml (large cup) of unsweetened almond milk • 1 tsp of Fiberrific fiber powder (4.5 grams of fiber per teaspoon) • 1 tsp Lucuma powder • 1 scoop of Fitlicious Berry Burst • ½ frozen banana • Optional: 1 tsp of NutriChem’s Pure Premium Fish Oil • Blend all ingredients in a blender with a few ice cubes. If smoothie is too thick, add a little water or some more ice. Note: When using fiber supplements it is necessary to ensure that you are properly hydrated so please drink plenty of water.

Complexity of area requires a careful touch Continued from page 1
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 RideauVanier 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 people to come to the market by car, or restrict access and parking for cars in order to create a pleasant environment for shoppers. 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 pro-

vide 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 enacting 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.
Mother always kept a clean apron close Continued from page 20
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, 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 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 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.

Three libraries set to go high-tech this fall Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Library branches in Alta Vista and Cen1:30:01 PM trepointe will be next to receive a high-tech book-sorting 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 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 last year. The Emerald Plaza branch in Nepean will also get the new system as part of a larger renovation which is expected to be completed early this fall, likely by September.

I am particularly pleased to see the number of River Ward schools participating in the highly successful Green Bins in Schools program. Schools send less material to landfill and their green bin gets picked up as part of the regular residential waste collection in the neighbourhood - a nice partnership between the City and our local schools.

CHEO set to make difference with new strategy 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.

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. CONNECTING
ALEX MUNTER, CHEO PRESIDENT AND CEO
The centre’s management engaged 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
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, set-

big adventures! Brownie would be a great cottage dog as he loves to play in the water, and would never miss the opportunity to make new friends! Brownie would rather not be cooped up inside all day. In addition to lots of daily exercise, he would love a bit of space, and
maybe even a yard to play in! Brownie would love to spend lots of time with you, and needs lots of exercise and mental stimulation to keep him busy. Leash walks are great but he will also need to run, so trips to the dog park are encouraged! Brownie will need a confident and experienced owner, with your guidance and dedication he will be a wonderful friend. Parker (A152884) is a three-year-old, neutered male, Domestic Longhair cat who loves to play. He was brought to the shelter as a stray on January 21, and is looking for his forever home. Parker gets along with the quieter children who visit him at the shelter, and wouldn’t mind living with them. Parker is laid-back and is looking for a family that will give him some alone time, and a nice sunny spot to perch in, from which he can watch the world fly by!

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.
MIA
Mia (4months) and Walter (7 1/2 yrs) first came to meet two months ago. It was love at first sight. Their first time meeting, Walter brought Mia every single toy he had. Mia preferred chewing on Walters face. In two months they’ve enjoyed bone’s together, nap times cuddled up, long afternoon strolls, and a slew of tug o’ war matches. These two have a bond that will last a life time of chasing squirrels. 9d ndj i]^c` ndjg eZi ^h XjiZ Zcdj\] id WZ ÆI=: E:I D; I=: L::@Ç4 HjWb^i V e^XijgZ VcY h]dgi W^d\gVe]n d[ ndjg eZi id ÒcY dji H^bean ZbV^a id/ X[dhiZg5i]ZcZlhZbX#XV ViiZci^dc ÆEZi d[ i]Z LZZ`Ç

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

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.

Lumière Gala to benefit cancer foundation 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 inaugural Keltic Cup Golf Classic is also raising funds for the cancer foundation, in partnership with the Brookstreet and Chmiel Architects, with a tee-off on the morning of Sept. 11 at the Marshes Golf Club. “We’re half full so we’re very excited,” said Bill Toutant, president of Make Space Work and organizer of the Keltic Cup. “It’s going to be a fun, fun event.” The tournament will include breakfast, lunch, host drinks, gifts, a pregala networking reception and entry to the Lumière event.

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.

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.

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.

Finally, our government is proposing to change reporting requirements for Canadians who have more than $100,000 in foreign income or foreign property. This change will require that these Canadians additional information, in order to help the CRA determine if they have paid their fair share.

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. Some of the initial dishes include the Cajun spiced gulf shrimp, served with andouie sausage, fried grit cake, collards and sassafrass root beer sauce from the New Orleans Satchmo Summer Fest, and sushi served with traditional condiments from the Mt. Fuji Jazz Festival in Japan. Lyness and his culinary team will prepare a nine-course meal paired with numerous wines. There will be live jazz, a silent and live auction and a fireworks show. The Lumière Gala is a partnership between the Brookstreet and the Wesley Clover Foundation to raise funds for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. “It’s a great cause,” said Lyness, who’s 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.

This is a good time to overhaul your approach to fitness, Aries. If you have been thinking about scheduling a physical or getting a gym membership, do so this week.
Libra, sometimes practicality gets in the way of your imagination. Though this can sometimes be stifling, you have to find a balance between whimsy and reality.
Taurus, you may have a difficult time taking sides when friends ask for your help in settling a dispute. Let your friends know you prefer to stay out of the squabble.
No one can put your plan into action better than you, Scorpio. Stop making excuses and really get started this week. Don’t expect immediate results.
Gemini, you are in need of some down time, so plan a weekend jaunt or a brief vacation to relax and recharge your batteries this week.
Sagittarius, you may not feel that something you did is funny, but others are bowled over with laughter. Play along so you don’t come across as a spoil sport.
It would normally be quite an effort to pull the wool over your eyes, Cancer. However, in the next few days you will be so distracted with other things that fooling you is possible.
Expect your schedule to become quite hectic in the next few days, Capricorn. You may want to tie up any loose ends now and use any free time to rest.
Leo, take a few days to act foolish, throw caution to the wind and have a good time. If you don’t, there may not be another such opportunity anytime soon. Virgo, the only way to get through a bumpy week is to keep your head down and your focus intense. Concentrate on the tasks at hand, and the week will be over before you know it.
Aquarius, a burst of energy has you flying through all of those little projects that you have been putting off. Once you are done, you may have to create a new list. Pisces, though you feel like you have just been going through the motions, others are far more impressed than you think.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
