EMC news - Community feedback will help guide city staff as it drafts a second redevelopment plan for the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre in Britannia Park. The centre, built in the 1950s to provide community space for a variety of uses, was the site of a June 26 open house where a first draft was presented to the public. That draft was funded by a $1-million city investment aimed at starting the process of renewing the aging building. “That draft was based on feedback collected over the years,” said Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, adding the funding is tied to a failed renovation of the Belltown Dome rink. “That money sat there with a project that was destined to never get done,” said Taylor. “The consensus was that doing something at Ron Kolbus would be more beneficial to the community.” The first draft proposal for the building concerned members of the Lakeside Players, who use the centre for their twice-a-year stage productions and related rehearsals. In that proposal, indoor areas were marked vaguely and the group worried that a redevelopment might not contain the facilities to accommodate live theatre. After an initial meeting in July, members of the Lakeside Players met last week with Taylor and city staff to discuss concerns and contribute ideas. See LAKESIDE, page 19

Executive members include newly-elected president Philip Ghosh, a Centretown lawyer; Tyler Saikaly, vice president of research and proposals; Thom McVeigh, vice president of development reviews; Lucia Harper, director of communi-

The group’s activities are still to be determined, but will rest on its vision statement: “Ottawa Urbanism strives for an Ottawa recognized for the richness and vibrancy of its urban experience, for its quality of life, its cutting-edge architecture, and design; a city where it’s easy and desirable to live an urban lifestyle.” See FOCUS, page 12

Neighbourhood crime prevention making strides Crime down more than 20 per cent in communities taking proactive stance laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Eight years ago, Lucie Marleau was moved into a war zone when she bought her new home in Vanier, having saved up for 10 years to make the purchase. A concentration of absentee landlords left her adrift on a street of homes housing drug use, prostitution and constant partying. Police had to be called an average
of three times a week to deal with dangerous and intimidating behaviour and Marleau stopped inviting friends over because of the loud partying and beer bottles and dog excrement thrown onto her patio. She felt desperate and fearful. Then Crime Prevention Ottawa offered her some help to work on changing the neighbourhood. “I – and others – took (Crime Prevention Ottawa’s)

vention Ottawa has worked to find outside funding for the projects. Community-based crime prevention initiatives in Lowertown and PinecrestQueensway haven’t received Crime Prevention Ottawa funding since 2010. Even without direct funding, the iniatives have taken on a life of their own. In Lowertown, a successful push for community engagement has lead to reclaiming Jules Morin Park from drug traffickers and users as well as sex workers. Now, work is just beginning on renovations to the park to provide it with a soccer field and make the park one level. “A space once dominated by the hustle and bustle of a vibrant community was vacant,” said Holly Brown, community development coordinator at the Lowertown Community Resource Centre. “With persistence we are coming to re-own our park.” This year, Crime Prevention Ottawa launched an online resource to support community-based crime prevention: the Neighbourhood Toolkit. It offers info and resources to help residents create safer communities and build community spirit. The website can be found at toolkit.crimepreventionottawa.ca.

had a 27 per cent drop in crime. Crime also went down across the city, but by a lesser margin: 15 per cent. The approach offers hope that communities facing a seemingly insurmountable challenge of overcoming crime and the effects of poverty can turn their neighbourhoods around. It’s a three-pronged approach that involves creating safe and welcoming physical environments and being actively engaged with partners in the community. But perhaps the most important element is building a group of actively engaged residents. From neighbourhood gatherings, movies in the park and community gardens to safety audits, walkabouts and youth leadership development, pushing for improvements wouldn’t be possible without passionate resident driving the change, said Nancy Worsfold, executive director of Crime Prevention Ottawa. “This is a community approach, looking at the community context in which people were living,” Worsfold said. “This approach engages more people, builds resilience in the community and innovative solutions.” Part of that resiliency involves making the initiatives self sufficient, so Crime Pre-

ing.” Two large residential towers pegged for the stretch of Parkdale north of Scott Street – one proposal currently working its way through city hall and another already approved – are the immediate planning focus of the association, though the early stages of a redevelopment plan for Tunney’s Pasture is also cause for concern. The proposed tower – a 29-storey, 172-unit condominium proposed by Richcraft Homes for 159-167 Parkdale Ave.– has not yet gone to the city’s planning committee and Lachapelle wants the community’s thoughts and concerns to be on the staff report. The main concerns as seen by the association are the orientation of the building itself (set back from Parkdale and possibly occupying an existing rear laneway) and the vehicular traffic to be expected
not just from this building, but from those already approved and others that will likely appear later. “I think there are a few adjustments that are required,” said Lachapelle. “The comments are for 159 Parkdale, but what’s happening at Tunney’s Pasture leaves us concerned. It’s a difficult situation, as the two things don’t go hand in hand.” Lachapelle is critical of the two similar redevelopment plans laid out by the federal government, owner of the Tunney’s Pasture land. He echoed criticism leveled at it by Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs, who has stated she worries the plan does not contain enough mixed-use elements to benefit the broader community. In both options presented by the federal government on Sept. 17, the residential com-
ponent of the Tunney’s plans is clustered along the west side of Parkdale – meaning vehicle traffic would have to use street exclusively to enter or leave the area. Fewer amenities within
nity to create its own plan. “It might be worthwhile thinking about how we deploy the buildings on the west side of Parkdale,” he said. “We need to come up quickly with a community development plan for Mechanicsville. We need a clear view of how the community will develop over and above the 159 Parkdale project.” A traffic study on Parkdale north of Scott Street is warranted, said Lachapelle, in order to have a snapshot of where the traffic volume stands now, before the influx of new residential buildings. He has been told the city does not have the money to perform one at this time – an assertion that doesn’t sit will with Lachapelle. “If you put another 2,000 units on Parkdale past Scott Street, I don’t see how traffic is going to improve,” he said.

Richcraft Homes is proposing a 29-storey condo building at 159 Parkdale Ave., one of the developments the newly re-formed Laroche Park Community Association is concerned about.
R0011644922 011644 01 644 4492 922 22 2 2
EMC news - Drawing from its long history of community involvement, Mechanicsville has resurrected its struggling community association following a Sept. 11 meeting that saw a new board and executive elected. The Laroche Park Community Association was brought back from near oblivion due to a pressing need for representation on local matters, mainly a string of proposed high-density residential developments along Parkdale Avenue. The new president, Guy Lachapelle, said the plan is to eventually change the association’s name to make its coverage area clearer. “Using the name Mechanicsville Community Association will have a broader meaning for people, and is more inclusive,” he said. Previously, the Mechanicsville Community Association existed from the 1950s to the turn of the century, but dwindled as the neighbourhood’s demographics changed and many older residents left. Now, with intensification bringing large residential development proposals to the community, residents are eager to have a say in how their neighbourhood evolves. The Sept. 11 meeting was initiated by past president Keith Brown, a well known figure in Mechanicsville, who saw the urgent need for a fully-functioning and proactive community association and sent out an appeal to the neighbourhood. “It was a good turnout,” said Brown, who now sits on the board as an ex-officio. Lachapelle said in an interview he has already had a meeting with the executive and plans to meet with board members on Sept. 25 to discuss the formation of key subcommittees. “I’m thinking there should be three,” he said. “One to cover zoning matters, another for security, and a third for community activities. As far as I can see, those are required right now – especially zon-
walking distance would increase the need for occupants living on either side of Parkdale to drive to find groceries, burdening the already crowded roadway with even more vehicles. “We fully understand it’s the federal government, who are not in the business of city planning … but this is a fascinating space and so many things could be done with it,” said Lachapelle. “It’s a great opportunity to do something interesting, and it would be wise for them to take some more time to come up with something useful that enhances the community … . “At the consultation they presented two options that are clearly not better.” The uncertainty of what shape the residential component of the Tunney’s plan might take worried Lachapelle, who wants the commu-

EMC news - Richcraft Homes has re-submitted a development application to the city in advance of a committee decision on its condominium proposal for 159-167 Parkdale Ave. The changes evident in the application, received on July 31 and posted on Sept. 17, add more retail and office space to the three-storey podium of the 29-storey condominium tower, while decreasing the number of residential units from 196 to 172 and eliminating the Parkdale-fronting townhouse component of the previous application. Parking has gone from 130 spaces (including 35 visitor and four commercial spots) to 150 spaces, the increase being a reflection of the increased retail and commercial space. The updated plans show retail occupying all non-lobby first floor space, with offices occupying the second and third floors. This, plus the cancellation of townhomes, makes the development more mixed-use than before. “In meetings for 99 Parkdale there were many comments that the area lacked shops and services,� said Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs. “If you can get some of the services in that you use regularly, it’s nice. There are a fair number of seniors living in the area, and it would be helpful for them to be able to walk to their destination.� Despite the added retail, the surrounding community still harbours strong concerns
related to traffic and building location. Laroche Park Community Association president Guy Lachapelle says he would like to see the rear laneway on the corner lot (exiting onto Lyndale Avenue) preserved and not converted into greenspace, with the building itself moved further from the rear lot line. “We think the setback at the rear of the building should be increased,� said Lachapelle, who, along with members of the association, plans to submit comments towards this file. “The building should be more oriented towards Parkdale and not Forward Avenue or Lyndale. Forward, Hinchey and Carruthers are very lowrise streets and if you allow the building to be closer to those houses the effect will be more profound.� Fearing that this proposal which follows on the heels of the approval of the 28-storey 99 Parkdale Ave. tower – will lead to a burst of tall residential buildings on that stretch of Parkdale, Lachapelle wants a community design plan initiated for the Mechanicsville community. The community’s biggest fear is the influx of new vehicles to the already crowded Parkdale Avenue – a roadway that often reaches capacity south of Scott Street at peak hours. A transportation study performed by Delcan Consultants and dated May 31, 2012 was filed with the first application: In that study, the Parkdale/ Burnside intersection was given a level of service grade of “C,� Parkdale/Lyndale re-
south down Parkdale towards Highway 417, with 35 per cent driving up Parkdale to the Sir John A Macdonald Parkway and 10 per cent travelling down Lyndale to connect to Scott, indicating that Parkdale will see the brunt of the new traffic volume from this and previous condo buildings. Lachapelle said he wondered how much remaining capacity is left on Parkdale, and would like to see traffic volume used as a deciding factor for any new developments. “Parkdale will become a parking lot, and it’s already problematic,� he said. “We need a clear view of how (future) developments will contribute to the problem.� Interestingly, the Delcan study prepared in advance of Richcraft’s first development application shows the building designed to include 176 vehicle spaces, with 37 being visitor. That number is now less, even considering the increased commercial component of the updated plan. The proposal will go before the city’s Planning Committee on Nov. 13.

EMC news - The city’s first-ever in-depth report on its infrastructure reveals that Ottawa needs to boost repair spending from $80 million to $165 million a year by 2022. Just days after spending $4.9 million to repair a sinkhole on highway 174 caused by a collapsed culvert, the report revealed the city isn’t spending enough to stay on top of repairing its roads, underground pipes and bridges. The report was particularly important in the context of a recent significant failure of a key piece of city infrastructure: the highway 174 sinkhole. “The cost in terms of both dollars and quality of life was very real,� Watson said. The money will be needed to repair and upgrade Ottawa’s $30 billion in roads, water, transit, recreation and cultural infrastructure. None of the infrastructure is unsafe right now, but transportation infrastructure, such as roads, has the highest percentage in really poor shape, with 25 per cent of the city’s $11.2
billion in transportation infrastructure rated in poor to very poor condition. Transit infrastructure is in the best shape, with $1.4 billion of assets rated 79 per cent in good to very good condition. The report didn’t include detail on how the city will pay for the increases, but the options are limited: raise it from taxes, or take on more debt. Funding could theoretically come from the federal and/or provincial levels of government, although no new infrastructure programs are forthcoming. The infrastructure report was only tabled on Sept. 19; debate and discussion will take place on Oct. 2. During that meeting, city treasurer Nancy Schepers will also present a proposed plan for finding the needed funds, which are all expressed in 2012 dollars and don’t account for inflation. There are spikes in the city’s infrastructure spending in 2012 and 2014 from the city’s Ottawa on the Move road rebuilding project, which shows that city council has already made infrastructure repair a priority,
said Alain Gonthier, the city’s asset management boss. “With Ottawa on the Move you’ve allowed yourself a bit of breathing room,� Schepers added. The city currently carries around $1.4 billion in debt, which is less than the limits set by city council and the province. Schepers wouldn’t say whether taxes would have to go up, but Watson was firm on maintaining a maximum tax increase of 2.5 per cent annually. Last year alone, the city added $1 billion in new infrastructure assets it will have to pay to maintain over the years. When asked if the report was a wake-up call that the city should cut back on building new infrastructure and focus instead on maintaining the assets it already has on the books, Watson said city council’s focus on reining in the urban boundary was an attempt to do just that. “Obviously we’re always going to be growing, but we have to have smart growth,� Watson said. “(It’s) one of the reasons why I was fighting to preserve the urban boundary. The farther out we go, the more expensive it is. We know that growth does not pay for itself.�

Holland Avenue lane reductions extended to Tyndall Water main replacement, resurfacing, sidewalk repair to be completed by spring 2013 Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
EMC news - As the $4million water main reconstruction project on Holland Avenue enters its latest phase, motorists can now expect lane reductions extending south from Wellington Street West to just south of Tyndall Street. Lane reductions have been in place on Holland between Scott Street and Wellington West since the early summer and like that stretch, north and southbound traffic flow will be kept in place with one lane in each direction. The entire project is expected to be complete by June 2013. Part of the broader $340million Ottawa on the Move infrastructure improvement initiative, the Holland Avenue reconstruction will see a new, higher-capacity water main replacing the existing century-old pipe. Carolyne Newcombe, project engineer with the city’s infrastructure services department, said the scope of what needs to be replaced means the two lanes of traffic will have to be moved from
the east side of Holland to the west side near the end of October. “Right now vehicle traffic is travelling on what was southbound lanes, with the digging work occurring on the east side,” said Newcombe. “When it switches over, traffic will be in the northbound lanes.” Given the increased vehicle and foot traffic in the area and the looming construction of the city’s light rail project at nearby Tunney’s Pasture, the city wanted to get large infrastructure projects like the Holland Avenue reconstruction out of the way before LRT changes traffic patterns and complicates other planning matters. The Holland project will see the replacement of the original 15-centimetre water main, installed between 1908 and 1922, with a higher capacity 40-centimetre pipe. At the same time, sewer repairs and new water connections to individual properties will be carried out. The timing of the project and the approach of winter means the sidewalk on the west side of Holland isn’t
likely to be finished until the spring. “We will be reinstating the (water main) trench all the way down…and starting with the sidewalk on the east side,” said Newcombe. “On the west side there are conduits to get in, service tie-ins and the sidewalk. The sidewalk will be iffy as to whether it can get done before winter.” Should the sidewalk on the west side of Holland not be completed before winter, Newcombe said a temporary asphalt one will be constructed for pedestrian use. When repaving and cement work is completed in the late spring, the permanent sidewalk will be half a metre wider than its predecessor – a feature asked for by local residents. Improvements to traffic flow and cycling infrastructure were also added to the project following consultation, eliminating the need to add them later on. “There will be a median to protect cyclists turning left from Holland onto Tyndall,” said Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs. “That will also serve as a

with few complaints received at her office. “I live on Holland and it has been good – when crews
have to block a laneway they are always ready with (onstreet) parking permits for the occupant of the house.”

OPINION EDITORIAL
Meeting Ottawa’s infrastructure challenge
F
ollowing the presentation of a report on the state of the city’s infrastructure last week to the city’s finance committee, it has become clear Ottawa has an infrastructure problem. The potential consequences of this problem were brought sharply into focus recently when a portion of highway 174 was closed by a sinkhole. While the extent of Ottawa’s problem is not so acute as the east-end sinkhole, the
report indicates that without a significant infusion of cash to increase maintenance activity, the city runs the risk, in the long run, of seeing things like sinkholes, broken water mains and collapsed roofs popping up like dandelions from Carp to Carlington to Cumberland. We cannot afford to let this happen. Just ask anyone who had to sit in traffic on Montreal Road or Barrhaven residents who saw watering restrictions imposed in 2011 following the
Woodroffe Avenue water main break how much fun it is to have critical infrastructure fail. Yet despite a two-per-cent infrastructure levy that was imposed from 2008 to 2010, more than $400 million in federal and provincial stimulus cash and the $340million Ottawa on the Move program, the city is only able to scrape by when it comes to maintaining things like roads, recreation facilities, libraries and other civic buildings. This means the city needs
to find $165 million per year, up from the $80 million it’s currently spending, to maintain what it already has and even more once new infrastructure is added by 2022. As Mayor Jim Watson said following the presentation of the report to council, there are several ways this maintenance can be paid for: adding debt, increasing taxes or seeking funding from other levels of government. Looking to other levels of government, at least in the
short term, appears to be a non-starter – the province is looking to spend less money, not more, and the federal government is poised to slash thousands of civil service jobs in Ottawa to get its own fiscal house in order. Borrowing money to pay for what are permanent, ongoing needs is a dubious course of action. The need to maintain infrastructure isn’t going to stop anytime soon, so why mortgage the future to pay for it?
That leaves us with finding additional money to pay for this vital, necessary work. This can be done in two ways. The city can raise taxes or money can be cut from other areas of the city budget. Things like upcoming capital projects can be put on hold or cancelled, city staff can be cut or services can be reduced or eliminated to shift money to pay for these needs. Either tax hikes or spending cuts will bite taxpayers in the end, but such decisions are the burden of leadership. How council handles these choices will have far-reaching implications for this city – let’s hope it chooses wisely.

Oh no, not more about 1972! CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
I
f it weren’t for the hockey lockout the anniversary of the 1972 Canada-Russia series would not have received so much attention. Whatever the reason, the attention goes on and on and on and it may be that anyone who wasn’t around in 1972 - a good chunk of the population - might have seen more than enough of it. The good news for them is that it should all be over soon. September 28 marks the 40-year anniversary of Henderson’s goal in the final game. Mind you, there is still the 40-year anniversary of the plane ride home, the 40-year anniversary of the team’s welcome in Toronto, and there could be many others. Still, for all intents and purposes it’s over. Not that it hasn’t been interesting, especially to look at the lessons we think we’ve learned from those moments in time 40 years ago. There was a lot of jingoism in Canadians’ attitude toward the series. Along with our love for our team went a certain amount of hatred for the Russians. That seems, if not embarrassing, at least quaint when looked at today. We were willing to tolerate some thuggish behaviour by our team, not to mention the officials, if it was necessary to win the series. There were also judgments made about the way the then-Soviets played hockey. They were emotionless robots, uncreative, unable to play with passion, it was said, despite the incredibly high level at which they played. We wince at that today, with so many Russian players playing so well on “our� teams in the National Hockey League. Perhaps you can argue that Russian play-
ers can now play with passion and creativity because they have been freed from the yoke of Communist oppression. But more likely the difference is in the way we perceive things. Heaven help us that we should be drawing deep philosophical conclusions from hockey anniversaries, but if there is a conclusion to be drawn it is that the world and Canada have changed a lot in 40 years. That may be difficult to fathom for those who feel like it only happened yesterday, but it’s true. To begin with, 40 years ago there were no Russians in the NHL, in fact hardly anyone who wasn’t Canadian. Forty years ago, we feared the Russians in a way we do not now. The Cold War was at its height. The Soviet Union was a closed society. The hotel rooms were lousy and could have been bugged. The Russians didn’t trust us all that much either, although our hotel rooms were better. Everything isn’t wonderful now, but the Cold War is over, the Russian hotel rooms are better and probably not bugged. There is no Soviet Union and there is dissent in Russia - to what avail no one is quite sure. Players from all over what used to be the Soviet bloc are performing, creatively and with passion, in the NHL, or will be, when the NHL begins. Is any of that because we “won� the 1972 series? Maybe. Or maybe it’s because we almost lost it and realized there was something to be learned from the way the Russians played. And they learned that there was something to be learned from the way we played. As for Canadian fans, did we learn anything? Did we learn that it was a little excessive to be as excessive as we were in cheering our boys on? Probably not. Think of the waves of patriotism that swept over Sidney Crosby when he scored the game-winning goal against the United States at Vancouver 38 years later. We are still going to get worked up over hockey. Whether we get too worked up is another question. We’ll get another chance to think about it when the 50th anniversary of all this rolls around in 10 years. You can hardly wait, right?

OPINION
Anglophones need not apply BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse the Parti Quebecois does. Its raison d’etre is to prevent the infiltration of English and other languages into Quebec’s language and culture -- which it views as distinct – and of course, to separate from the rest of Canada. Many of the people I know who voted for the PQ deny the underlying prejudice of their government. “Quebec is distinct,” they say. “Quebec is a socialist province, not like the others.” “The PQ is the only party that will protect our collective belief that governments should pay for cradle-to-grave services.” To which I respond – What does any of that have to do with language? The Parti Quebecois’s policies are nothing short of xenophobic. Its supporters buy into this – fearing that non-French speakers that may bring their own political ideas and agendas that are ... well, different. As a result, after nine years of relative harmony between La Belle Province and those outside its borders, the Parti Quebecois’s
protectionist platform has once again reminded those of us in the rest of Canada and elsewhere that there is no place for us in Quebec. I find it sad. Under the Parti Quebecois’s definition of what it means to be a Quebecer, I’m not sure my own children – who, with one Francophone parent and one Anglophone parent, speak both official languages fluently – would be considered valid citizens in the province. Fortunately, we live in my home-province of Ontario and not my husband’s birth place across the river. Because, while Quebec is narrowing its definition of what it means to be a true Quebecer, Ontario has created policies that are more inclusive. In 2009, thanks in large part to Ottawa MPP and then minister of culture, Madeleine Meilleur, Ontario broadened its definition of Francophone to include French-speaking allophones – those whose mother tongue is neither French nor English, but who use French in the home.
This has extended access to French-language education and services, in particular to many immigrant families. It has grown the Francophone population in the province. Under the new definition, Francophones make up 4.8 per cent of the population in Ontario, compared to 4.1 per cent before. A few days ago, my own children proudly donned the Franco-Ontarian flag, on which the trillium and the fleur-de-lys stand side-by-side
against a green and white background. The same day, we spent time researching publicly-funded Mandarinlanguage classes, looking to foster another element of our family’s diverse cultural background. This hasn’t always been possible here, granted. Minorities in the province have had to fight hard to preserve their languages and cultures. But as the world shrinks and our communities become increasingly heterogeneous, it
looks as though Ontario will continue to grow, protect and foster diversity. Simultaneously, the xenophobic policies of the Parti Quebecois will also continue to have wide reach. With no room for minorities, the Parti Quebecois and its supporters may finally chase out the nonFrench-speakers and get what they want -- an exclusive, homogenous society. But in a world and a country that is ever-inclusive and diverse, frankly, it will be their loss. R0011632067

magine for a moment a new player in Ontario politics. Let’s call it “The Ontario Party.” This fictional party has emerged with the goal of separating from the rest of the country. Fundamental to its party platform is a clause stating that true Ontarians are those whose mother tongue is English. As such, its party leader and candidates refuse interviews with media outlets that don’t publish or broadcast in English. When “The Ontario Party” is elected, its first point of order is to rip the Canadian flag from its once-prominent place in the legislature. It then enacts legislation forcing all business owners in the province to erect signage in English or face hefty fines. Under “The Ontario Party’s” new immigration rules, people from Englishspeaking countries will be given priority over all others, even those who have learned English as a second language. Laws are created to prevent non-English people from running for public office. Funds to French-language and other language schools are degraded. ”The Ontario Party’s” overwhelming message: “If you don’t speak English, you don’t belong here.” Thankfully, this party doesn’t exist. But across the Ottawa River, in Quebec,

Board looks for solutions to save school clubs jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
EMC news - Volunteers could salvage sports and other after-school clubs. That was the message delivered during an Ottawa Carleton District School Board meeting on Sept. 18. Sister of former CFL-er Ken Evraire and volunteer, Debborah Evraire said the board needs to talk about solutions to offer sports programs before the deadline for winter registration passes. “It’s unacceptable that 11 of our schools don’t have sports teams playing right now,” she said. “I don’t think the call to the community (for volunteers) has been loud enough.” The fall sports programs were lost as the board couldn’t
meet the deadline to register teams set by the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association (OFSAA). Sports teams and other clubs are in jeopardy this year because the two teacher unions that represent elementary and secondary schools have asked teachers to reconsider doing extra work in protest of the Putting Students First Act. The legislation freezes teacher wages, ends the banking of sick days and bans strikes for the next two years. Only two Ottawa schools – Glebe Collegiate Institute and Colonel By Secondary School – registered a team for every sport. Eleven of the board’s 25 high schools didn’t register any sports teams for the fall season and nine others regis-
tered some teams. LongfieldsDavidson Heights Secondary School will be able to run their field hockey and basketball programs thanks to the help of volunteers in the community. But Theresa Kavanagh, who represents the zone that corresponds with the city’s Bay ward, said the school board needs to work on solutions that will help students in areas of the city where income and cultural backgrounds may impede the parents’ ability to volunteer their time. “I think all the kids should have the same opportunities,” she said.

Pam Fitzgerald, the trustee for the public school zone representing College Ward, speaks with media after suggesting the board ask the province to repeal the Putting Students First Act during a committee of the whole meeting at the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board office on Sept. 18. activities are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Putting Students First Act and urged her fellow trustees to take a stand on the legislation.

lar activities at public board schools. “I have been inundated with calls from parents and students from three of the four of my high schools have staged protests,” she said. Director of Education Jennifer Adams said staff will be working with a group of principals and vice-principals on the language in the board’s volunteer policy to make sure there is room for community volunteers to run sports programs and other clubs. She said she thinks the language should allow for qualified volunteers. “Obviously we prefer if teachers and staff were able to run the programs, but we won’t be holding out for that,” Adams said. The deadline to register for winter sports is the end of October so that gives staff five weeks to work out a plan to offer volunteer-run programs. John Shea, who represents parts of Orléans and Cumberland, said making sure that happens is the number one priority. Both Shea and Mark Fisher, who represents much of the city’s south end, said the practice of using teachers who volunteers leaves the board vulnerable. “Through crisis we are seeing some of the cracks in the system,” Shea said. Pam Fitzgerald, trustee for the zone that corresponds with the city’s College ward, asked the board to go a step further. She said extracurricular

boards. Adams said superintendent of facilities Mike Carson will study the impacts of the reduction of grants and some of the other aspects of the legislation. Peter Guilani, president of the Ottawa-Carleton Elementary Teacher Federation, said trustees don’t need a study to tell them the legislation is bad. “We don’t think you need a financial analysis to stake a position,” he said. “If it’s wrong, it’s wrong.” Shirley Seward represents the zone that corresponds with the city’s River ward, attempted to have Fitzgerald’s motion added to the agenda, but without unanimous support the item was postponed until the next board meeting. Seward, who said staff could look at the case of Brookfield High School as an example, where parents managed to save several sports programs by coming together over a weekend and to find volunteers to run sports teams in time for the fall OFSAA deadline. “But the discussion around the extracurricular activities ignores the elephant in the room, which is the legislation,” she said. “There are going to be many other issues.”

Fall tradition of burning leaves became a family pastime MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories even one barn or house that had been burned to the ground because of leaf burning out at Northcote. “Well, I sure hope we aren’t the first,” he retorted every year as long as I can remember.
after the sun had gone down and the yard was in complete darkness. Supper would be early that night; another excuse for Father to complain. He liked everything on time and that included his meals. So by the
Of course, Mother, who made an occasion out of the simplest events, wouldn’t let us light the leaves until after the sun had gone down and the yard was in complete darkness. I wasn’t big enough or strong enough to manage a rake. So my job was to circle the mounds and with my feet, try to make each pile round, and push any wayward leaves into place. It took most of the day to round up all the leaves and when we were finished we would have about four big piles of leaves in the centre of the yard. Of course, Mother, who made an occasion out of the simplest events, wouldn’t let us light the leaves until
time we had eaten, cleaned up the kitchen and hauled out chairs to circle the mounds of leaves, nightfall had settled in. We would start out with heavy jackets on to ward off the chill of the fall evening. My oldest brother, Everett, was always in charge of the matches. He had the lighting of the leaves down pat. He rolled sheets of the Renfrew Mercury into tight cones, and he

lit the paper, setting it ablaze. That way he could poke the paper deep into the mounds of leaves, making sure it burned from the inside out. Very clever, was my brother Everett. We sat on the kitchen chairs, circling the burning piles, but well back from the fire, we five children and Mother. Father chose to stay in the house reading the Ottawa Farm Journal. If marshmallows were in existence back then, we certainly didn’t know about them. And it is doubtful we could have afforded them anyway. So the only enjoyment we got was sitting on the chairs and watching the raked leaves go up in smoke. Mother always took her mouth organ out on those nights and she expected us to sing along to whatever she was playing. Emerson refused. Audrey with her clear, sweet voice was the only one who could carry a tune and so she and Mother provided what entertainment there was. I would sit on the chair and listen, watching the flames rise towards the sky and wonder why Father couldn’t see the sheer joy of the evening. The old iron pump was right in the middle of the yard and although Mother said there was absolutely no need for it, Father made sure there were several pails on the
pump platform just in case the blaze got out of hand. By the time the fire was raging, we took off our jackets as the heat came at us in waves. It didn’t take long for the piles of leaves to be burnt right to the ground and I often wondered if it was worth the effort. When it was all over and we had hauled the kitchen chairs back into the house,
Father would let out a big sigh, as if he carried the cares of the world on his shoulders. He would go out to the yard for the first time since supper was over, and he would pump many pails of water, and pour it over the remnants of the burning leaves. He was taking no chances that the barns and the log house that had been there for three generations would go up in smoke.

his time of year, we all smelled the same at Northcote School. The heavy scent of burning leaves penetrated everything we wore and no amount of airing out could eliminate the odour of our smoke-infested clothes. But none of us minded. Burning leaves was something we all looked forward to at our farm and as far as I knew everyone in Northcote did the same thing. None of us minded the smell of smoke on our clothes- well, that is, we five kids and Mother. Father said making the event into a grand affair was something he had little time for: too many other more important things to do on the farm instead of making a party out of burning leaves. Our front and side yards were full of big maple trees and by the time the last days of summer rolled around the leaves were in some places knee deep. We waited until the limbs were completely bare and then on a Saturday it was time to rake the leaves and pile them into big mounds well away from the house and barns. “You’re asking for trouble,” Father would say. “Just one little spark and the whole place would go up in smoke.” Mother paid him no heed, asking him to come up with

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

Time to make a grooming appointment
You can’t eliminate scratching behaviours: it’s a normal behaviour for your cat; it becomes a problem only when the object being scratched is an item of value to you. The goal is to redirect the scratching to an acceptable object, such as a scratching post. Provide objects for scratching that are appealing and convenient from your cat’s point of view. Observe the physical features of the objects your cat is scratching. Note their location, texture, shape and height. Substitute a similar object(s) for your cat to scratch (for example, rope-wrapped posts, corrugated cardboard, or even a log). Place an acceptable object (for example, scratching post) near
make her less likely to use the post. Special products for training your cat are available at pet supply stores. If you are considering declawing your cat, consider this: declawing a cat doesn’t remove just the claws — it amputates the end digit from the paw, similar in scope to cutting off a person’s finger at the last joint. This procedure can cause substantial discomfort and complications after the operation. Declawed cats may become reclusive, irritable, aggressive and unpredictable, and may have a tendency to bite as they cannot scratch to give warning. While other, newer methods exist for declawing (for example, laser surgery), the end result is still undesirable for your cat as it prevents her from engaging in normal cat behaviour. The OHS does not support declawing. It should be considered as a final option after you have exhausted other alternatives to eliminate destructive behaviour. However, if you feel that you must either declaw your cat or give her up, the OHS would rather see your cat stay in her
home. If you decide that it is absolutely necessary to have your cat declawed, only have the front paws done, so that the cat can still scratch an itch, climb and defend herself. If this is your decision, consult your veterinarian first and discuss having the surgery done at the same time your cat is spayed or neutered. Other tips If you catch your cat in the act, try making a loud noise (for example, use a whistle, shake a soda can filled with pebbles or pennies, or slap a wall or a table) or use a water-filled squirt bottle. Conversely, when your cat claws the scratching post instead of your couch, make sure you give your cat extra praise and affection. One reason cats scratch is to remove the dead outer layer of their claws. Regularly trimming your cat’s nails can help reduce scratching. You should clip off the sharp tips of your cat’s claws on his front feet every two weeks or so. More companion animal information is available at www.ottawahumane.ca.

an inappropriate object (for example, upholstered chair). Make sure the objects are stable and won’t fall over when she uses them. You can make these objects more attractive to your cat by spraying them with catnip periodically and hanging a toy from the post. If you cat is refusing to use a scratching post and prefers your rug, try covering a piece of plywood with carpet and spraying it with some catnip. Cover the inappropriate object(s) with something your cat won’t like, such as double-sided sticky tape, aluminium foil, sheets of sandpaper, or a plastic carpet runner with the pointy side up. Only remove the “unappealing” coverings (for example, double-sided sticky tape, aluminium foil, sheets of sandpaper) from the inappropriate object(s) when your cat is consistently using the appropriate objects. This will entice your cat to investigate the more appealing scratching post. Don’t take your cat over to the scratching post and position her paws on the post to show her what she’s supposed to do. This will likely have the opposite effect and

ings, the organization holds walks, bike rides, concerts and garden parties throughout the year in an effort to raise the awareness and money to be able to place plaques along the pathway. The next step for the organization is to erect the next two plaques, one in English, by Archibald Lampman and one in French by Alfred Garneau in the city-owned portion of Stanely Park. Moore attended the New Edinburgh Community Alliance meeting on Sept. 17 to seek support and to announce the placement of the plaques in the park. Both plaques will have poems directly linked to the Rideau River and the Ottawa River, which Moore finds very exciting. “It will be like you are standing where they imagined what to write,” she said.

The Poets’ Pathway will hold the non-profit’s first bilingual poetry reading will take place at The Beechwood Cemetery, on Poets’ Hill.
EMC news - A local poetry group is holding its first bilingual reading on Poets’ Hill in Beechwood Cemetery. Taking place on Sept. 28 at 6 p.m., the event will feature six readings: three in English and three in French. The event is meant to bridge the gap between the two languages by sharing a common love for poetry. Jane Moore, a committee member of Poets’ Pathway, is one of the people working to organize the event. “This reading is really significant to us,” Moore said. “This event is about embracing the francophone community.” Reading their own works will be Henry Beissel, Andrée Lacelle, Susan McMaster, Diane Schmolka, Michel A. Thérien and Nancy Vickers. “We are really excited about this event, it is really important to us to have both languages represented,” Moore said.
Poets’ Pathway was formed in 2003 and seeks to create a “pathway” from one end of the city to the other. Britannia Beach marks the start and western end of the pathway. Thanks to the support of through support from management at Beechwood Cemetery; Poets’ Hill was created in 2005, marking the eastern terminus of the pathway. The 35 kilometre path winds its way through the city and includes 12 different walks. The organization is also supported by the city and has placed seven plaques marking significant spots along the route featuring verses by Canadian poets. Moore said the plaques are a significant part of what they want to accomplish as an organization and are always trying to come up with different ways to reach out to the community to inspire a love for poetry, build a strong membership and find more ways to fund its projects.

cusing on downtown Ottawa. “Urbanism goes beyond the core,” Macias said. “It’s about connected communities.” Championing pedestrian and cycling issues, as well as transit-oriented development, is a citywide concern, Macias said. The group’s constitution stipulates a minimum of quarterly meetings, but Ghosh said he hopes the group will meet monthly. Ottawa Urbanism’s first president grew up in Hunt Club Park, but moved to the boundary of Westboro and Wellington West in his teens – a place he said was “much more enjoyable” to live in. His community involvement stretches back more than a decade to when he became involved in Ottawa’s youth cabinet advisory committee at city hall as the youth advisor on transit issues.
He continued to be involved in planning issues while studying as an undergraduate history student at Carleton University. During that time, he worked for the city’s markets management team, which oversees vendors and activities in the ByWard and Parkdale markets. He studied law at Queen’s University and was called to the bar this year. Ghosh doesn’t have any political or development ties, but said he has maintained an interest in urban issues through his youth in Ottawa and his studies in Kingtson. The group has already discussed adopting a policy against accepting donations from developers in order to avoid a perception of working on their behalf. A few subcommittees are also in the works.

Garbage collection goes biweekly Oct. 29 Sign up for garbage day alerts by phone, email or Twitter Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Garbage collection will change to every two weeks starting Oct. 29, and the city is offering some high-tech tools to make the transition easier for residents. With the new web-based collection calendar tool, peeking out the front door to see if your neighbours put out their trash will be a thing of the past, IT subcommittee chairman Coun. Tim Tierney said. The tool offers a searchable online calendar, as well as weekly collection reminders by phone, email or Twitter. You can also choose whether you want the alerts to arrive the evening before or the morning of your collection day. Information can be found at ottawa.ca/en/garbage_re-
cycle/. As of last Monday, four days after its launch, there were more than 5,300 searches logged and 1,337 people signed up for household reminders. Starting Oct. 29, green-bin materials will be collected each week and the frequency of cardboard and container recycling won’t change, but garbage pick up will be reduced to every two weeks. As a result of the transition, 158,000 households in Ottawa will get a new garbage collection day. Waste will be picked up by new “dual-collection” trucks that can collect organic and recyclable materials at the same time, reducing the number of trucks on the road. The changes are expected to save the city $10 million each year and were approved by city council in an 18-4 vote in
April. Some councillors (Rainer Bloess, Diane Deans, Jan Harder, Bob Monette and Tim Tierney) would have preferred
to see seasonal biweekly pickup, which they said would have quelled fears of stinking garbage piling up in the summer months. Switching to biweekly pickup is expected to divert an additional 10,000 to 20,000
tonnes of organic waste from the landfill, Weir said. That will boost the diversion rate from the current 44 per cent to around 54 per cent. But that still leaves Ottawa 15,000 tonnes short of its 60 per cent diversion target, said
Bloess, the councillor for Innes Ward. The city will never be able to achieve that diversion target until it tackles the “ICI sector” – industrial, commercial and institutional organizations, Bloess said. Weir said city staff expect to hit the goal of a 60 per cent diversion rate by the end of this new waste contract, which will be in 2016.

Ways to lower car insurance rates at any age Drivers should look for more savings regardless of driver profile. Auto insurance is a major expense in a household budget. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandatory to have insurance, overpaying is not necessary. There are simple ways of getting a more affordable auto insurance rate, regardless of age or driving experience. NEW DRIVERS Use of a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;good student discountâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is one way to save on insurance for a young driver. Many insurance companies offer a discount for students who carry a minimum required grade average. Another way to save is by taking a driver education course from an approved school; to learn the rules of the
road. Be sure to inquire about these options, as they may not always be advertised. DRIVERS OVER 25 There may have been some improvement in yearly premiums for drivers with some driving experience. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to also ask about further discounts. These may include: installing a security system, driving an eco-friendly car, or installing safety features such as winter tires. If recently married, combine policies with your spouse and take advantage of bulk discounting by having more than one car insured with the company. EXPERIENCED DRIVERS An experienced driver with a good driving record may be eligible for better insurance rates; the key is to find the insurance company that will offer the lowest rate. Shopping around for car insurance is the easiest way to find a better way. Other ways
to save include changing your deductible â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps carrying a higher deductible; or, combining home and auto insurance policies with the same insurance company. DRIVERS OVER 55 YEARS Mature drivers over 55 years old may qualify for some of the best rates available. Some insurance companies across Canada specialize in getting the best rates for mature drivers. There are also retirement benefits to keep in mind: no commute distance may mean a lower rate. Make sure the insurance company changes the commuting status to pleasure use. MORE TIPS Remember to review your policy frequently. Tickets come off your driving record in three years from the date that you are convicted and accidents come off in six years. If a ticket or accident has come off your driving record,
check with your insurance company to make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not still paying for that ticket or accident. If you drive an older car, you may want to remove the collision coverage if you feel that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not worth the extra yearly cost to compensate you for your vehicle value. This will reduce your insurance premium. Many car insurance companies may actually offer a lower rate to drivers who pay their premium in full on renewal than to those who choose to pay in installments. Monthly payments often come with fees that are charged on each installment. Paying the whole thing up front is a quick and simple way to pay less. No matter how old you are, it is always a good idea to shop around for a better rate. Quoting sites like ComparaSave.com help drivers find the lowest insurance rate available within their network of over 30 insurance companies.

EMC news - The Ottawa Grace Manor celebrated 10 years of graceful living on Sept. 15 with a community barbecue and corn roast. The event, held to mark an important milestone for Grace Manor and its residents, also provided an opportunity to say thank you to family and neighbours for continued support. Grace Manor executive director Derrick Gullage welcomed around 300 people who had gathered for the festivities. In a short speech, Gullage offered his appreciation to the individuals that work, volunteer and live at the facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The enthusiasm and caring displayed here by the people at Grace Manor by one another, to one another and on behalf of one another, continues to be exhibited daily,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not what makes Grace Manor a home, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes us a good home.â&#x20AC;? Located on Wellington Street West in Hintonburg, Grace Manor is a 128 bed long-term care facility providing a safe and secure environment for individuals requiring full-time nursing and personal care. Built in 2002, the facility sits on the former site of the

Fall the time to bake with apples
N
ow that fall is officially here, the cool, sunny days are just right for a family outing to visit one of the many apple orchards in Eastern Ontario. While you’re there, ask the orchard staff to recommend which apples are best for eating and which types are better for baking. For this apple cinnamon braid, you’ll need two or three baking apples. The recipe starts with the dough cycle in your bread-making machine and finishes in the oven. Shaping the dough into a braid is very easy. Give the recipe a try now, and you’ll want to make it again for your guests on Thanksgiving weekend. This bread is nice with breakfast, with coffee or for dessert.

APPLE CINNAMON BRAID
Dough • 2/3 cup water • 3 tbsp. margarine or butter, softened • 3 tbsp. white sugar • 1 tsp. salt • 2 cups flour • 1 1/2 tsp. bread machine yeast
Saturday, September 29th, 2012 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm Join us for an Apple Social, enjoy “applelicious” treats and a tour of our community.
Filling • 2 cups apples, peeled and sliced • 1 tbsp. white sugar • 1 tbsp. flour • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
Come for the fun and stay for the lifestyle. Suites starting at $2,795.00/month, all-inclusive.
PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff • 1/2 tsp. margarine or butter Place the ingredients for the dough into your bread machine in the order given. Select the dough cycle. While the machine is working, prepare the apples. Mix all the ingredients for the filling in a microwave-safe bowl and let sit for 15 minutes. Microwave the apple mixture on high for four to five minutes, stirring at one-minute intervals. When the apples are soft and syrupy, the filling is done. Set it aside to cool. When the dough is ready, remove it from the bread machine. Place it on a lightly floured surface, cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes so it will be easier to work with. On the floured surface, roll the dough into a 33-by-20centimetre pan. That’s about three hand widths long and two hand widths wide. Trim the edges of the dough, if necessary, to get the shape. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, grease the foil and then place the dough on it.
Spoon the filling down the middle of the rectangle, so that the centre third of the dough is covered. To shape the braid, first make cuts in the long side of the dough. Each cut should be 2.5 centimetres apart, and extend from the outer edge of the dough in to the edge of the filling. Next, starting at one end of the rectangle, fold a strip of dough diagonally over the filling. Now, fold a strip of dough from the other side so it overlaps the first strip in the centre. Continue, alternating sides, so that the filling is completely covered. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until double. Use a ruler to measure the height of the braid before and during the rising to tell when it’s ready. Bake at 375 F (190 C) for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. When the bread is done, use the aluminum foil to transfer it to a rack. Slide the foil out from under the braid and let it cool. Slice to serve.

bottoms. The varied history of the wood adds to its aesthetic appeal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for homeowners to know that the price point for hardwood will vary depending on species and finish. However, the way the boards are cut will also be a consideration for homeowners. Plainsawn or flatsawn boards have growth rings that run at anywhere from 0 to 45-degree angles to the wide surfaces of the board, with lots of loops and swirls. Quartersawn boards have rings that run from 45- to 90-angles and are not as lively in pattern. Quartersawn boards will expand in thickness depending on moisture and temperature. Plainsawn will shrink and swell widthwise. Quartersawn tend to take wear better and more evenly, contributing to their typically more expnesive price tag. Homeowners can also choose among engineered wood products, which are essentially several layers of wood veneer adhered to a solid backing of plywood and sealed. This layered construction can make engineered flooring more stable and durable than traditional hardwood flooring. That means it can be used in rooms where hardwood was long frowned upon, like basements and bathrooms. Wood flooring will continue to garner mass appeal and be the preference of many homeowners. With new innovations and availability, there are more options than ever for discerning homeowners. SH112418

Nowadays, homeowners renovating their homes often look to wood flooring to replace existing floors. Hardwood is coveted by buyers, and its clean, inviting look makes it a neutral design element that goes with many different types of decor. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardwood flooring is not the hardwood of the past. There are many options from which to choose, including varied colors, types of wood, patterns, and inlays. In addition, innovations in sealants enable hardwood to be durable and hold up better against the daily grind. About 25 years ago, a homeowner basically had to settle for wood flooring that was solid oak strips at 2.25 inches wide. The strips were nailed in place by a carpenter and finished on site. Now, more than half of hardwood is fabricated and prefinished at a factory and is much easier to install -- even by the homeowner himself. The range of styles and colors is also very extensive. Planks can be chosen in thin strips or wider options. Native hardwoods are available, as are offshore woods from different countries. Finishes can also be customized with higher gloss or matte choices. For homeowners interested in going green, hardwood flooring also presents many options. A growing trend is using reclaimed wood that is recycled and then refinished into new items. Lumber may be reclaimed from old buildings, railroads, barns, homes, and even river

Lakeside Players confident changes will help theatre According to Lakeside Players president Harold Swaffield, the group came away satisfied. “The meeting went well – Mr. Taylor was open and receptive to our ideas,” said Swaffield, adding that some of the conversation revolved around possible timelines for the project and what kind of disruption might be expected once work begins. “Currently, Lakeside is the only theatre space that allows different styles and arrangements of seating – you can set it up any way you want. We pointed that out to him.” In addition to improved indoor space for community use, Swaffield said he would like to see a 4.25-metre ceiling to hang lights from, improved dressing room facilities, access to the backstage area kept in place and a rejuvenated – or at least repaired – stage. The 120-member theatre group has been using that space to perform since forming in 1990. “Of course, we understand (Taylor) can’t take all of these things into consideration for the final product, we’re just hoping it goes in that direction,” said Swaffield. “We love the staff at Lakeside – they’re helpful and outgoing – and we like the fact it is affordable. It is one of the most inexpensive venues in town.” He said the low cost of operating out of that venue allows
them to provide entertainment for the community at a similarly low price. With the final look of the building yet to be determined and the budget to make it happen still uncertain, Swaffield said all the group can do now is express their view how the space should evolve and hope some of the improvements are made down the line. “(Taylor) understands our needs, wants and desires and we know the limitations at-
tached to this project,” he said. Following the meeting, Taylor said the preliminary redevelopment drawings had led to something of a misunderstanding and that the city is happy to keep a stage in the new building while making the space “as flexible as possible.” However the final product turns out, the new space will be welcomed by the community. Taylor said he has heard from groups as diverse as kite surfers and a stroke survivors’
organization who are eager to contribute their wishes for the redeveloped building. Taylor said after the latest feedback is collected and analyzed, a second, more detailed draft will be revealed to the public at an open house, likely in the spring, followed by an implementation plan by fall 2013. Construction of the new facility will likely be a long-term process, spread out over several years and several budgets.

The city is still seeking the community’s input on what they would like to see at the redeveloped Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre. R0021641085

Health centre showcases work of senior outreach program Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
EMC news - Imagine having to choose between going to a doctor’s appointment or getting groceries. Trish Pagtakhan said that’s the decision some of their clients have to face. Pagtakhan is the program co-ordinator for the west end falls prevention program at the Pinecrest Queensway Community Health Centre. The program helps connect seniors with services in the community is staffed by a registered nurse and community
developer. “A lot of the people we see are heading into crisis,” Pagtakhan said. “A lot of them have cognitive or mental health issues and their physicians are retired. We try and head off the crisis and turn them in the right direction.” Five community health care centres in the city were given funding by the Champlain Local Health Integration Network – which makes health care spending decisions in eastern Ontario. Pagtakhan said each centre has committed to accepting 30 new clients per year.
Referrals come from other programs at Pinecrest Queensway, including their primary care staff. “We also get referrals from hospitals,” Pagtakhan said. “A lot of the time, the senior will head into crisis and then be given medications with instructions to come to an appointment in two weeks. By the time they are out the door they have forgotten.” The primary care outreach program only serves clients in the catchement of the Pinecrest Queensway, but Pagtakhan said there is need in areas like Manotick and Barrhaven.
Aside from the work staff does with clients to help with transportation, housing, medical care and other basic needs, the program is also designed to help caregivers. “We deal with caregivers who may be feeling overwhelmed and offer what supports we can,” Pagtakhan said, adding a lot of the work they do is building relationships with agencies operating in the communities. “Sometimes our clients have turned down services from other organizations that may not be aware they are dealing with cognitive issues,” she said.
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
River Ward City Councillor Conseillère, quartier Rivière Stepping Up the Battle Against the Emerald Ash Borer On Monday, September 24, 2012, Mayor Jim Watson joined me on a beautiful street in Riverside Park to provide an update about the City’s fight to protect Ottawa’s tree canopy from the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). This invasive beetle has a devastating impact on Ash trees, which make up 25% of the City’s tree canopy. The sustainability of our urban and rural forest infrastructure relies heavily on the replacement of trees removed because of the borer and to that end, Forestry Services continues to inter-plant and replace Ash trees in infested locations. New Trees - Sustaining Our Canopy In the spring of 2012, 1,267 new trees of various species were planted along streets and in parks where a large percentage of Ash trees are present. This fall, using some of the additional $1 million of funding approved by Council on July 11, 2012, the City will plant an additional 2,700 trees, for a total of 3,967 new tree plantings in 2012. The planting program will minimize the impact on our forest cover and these new trees will have additional time to establish themselves prior to the removal of dying Ash trees. If the City’s right-of-way near your property is selected for inter-planting, you will receive a written notification in advance of planting. The City will also install a small compostable sign on the lawn to mark the approximate location of the new tree. Tree Injections – A New Tool for This Fight Tree injections using TreeAzin have formed part of the City’s EAB strategy since its inception in 2008 and Forestry Services continues to evaluate and add Ash trees to the injection program every year. This summer, the City partnered with industry researchers to trial a new injection product. Confidor, approved by Health Canada, is being used on a trial basis on a small number of trees in Ottawa. This trial program will allow researchers to assess the effectiveness of this insecticide and the injection system on Ash trees in Ontario. This product is used in EAB programs in the United States, and Ottawa is now one of two municipalities in Canada to investigate its use as part of our EAB strategy.
Mom, can we go to another one?
Wood Handling and Disposal – The City Has a New Partner This summer, through a Request for Proposal process, the City selected a qualified vendor to sort and process Ash wood materials into marketable products. The successful bidder, Ottawa Cedar Lumber, is a family owned and operated company in the forestry business that operates a sawmill facility in the east end of the City. Ash trees will be transported directly to the sawmill for processing into materials such as fuel pellets, etc.

Tree Removal – Operations Resume Ash tree removal operations resumed during the week of September 24, 2012. If you have an Ash tree scheduled for removal, you will receive a notification letter one week prior to work taking place. Work will generally take place between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., weather permitting.

Hélène Campbell, Facebook team up for organ donor initiative Double lung transplant recipient encouraging Canadians to sign up Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - Ottawa’s Hélène Campbell brought her message of organ donation awareness to a new venue on Sept. 17, launching an even new initiative involving the online platform Facebook. The double lung transplant recipient was joined at the Parliamentary Press Gallery by Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq and Jordan Banks, managing director for Facebook Canada, in announcing a new initiative that allows Facebook users to state their organ donor
status on their Facebook profile page. The aim of the initiative, which has already been launched in the United States and Britain, is to spread awareness of the need for donors and encourage those who haven’t signed up to consider becoming donors. The tool not only allows users to post their donor status, it also directs Facebook users to provincial or territorial websites where they can sign up. “We believe that simply telling people you care about that you’re a donor will play an important role in encouraging others to become donors,” said Banks. “More organ donors means more lives saved.” The tool can be accessed through the “life event” category of a user’s Facebook timeline and the subcategory

to click on is “health and wellness.” Campbell, who received her new set of donor lungs during an April 6 operation, spoke about the important role social media plays in today’s society. “I’m so thrilled that we are able to announce this today,” she said. “(Facebook) is a perfect platform to let your family and friends know about the decision you’ve made.” Campbell said the tool might also encourage people to seek out the often-surprising statistics surrounding organ donation, such as the fact that a single donor can save as many as eight lives. Campbell said she still thinks every day about the donor who saved her life and the decision made by the family who made her new lease on life possible – a life that is slowly getting back to normal. “My mom knows that I can clean again,” she said, adding she can now ride a bike again, along with other outdoor pursuits. Aglukkaq said she is always encouraged when she sees individuals and the private sector working together to “help make a difference in the health of (Canadians).” So far, 275,000 Facebook users have registered their intent to become an organ donor.

Power of mother nature unleashed at museum Vistiors to experience power of tornadoes, volcanoes, quakes Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - Children and adults alike will have the chance to create an earthquake, combine gas and goo to make a volcano, peer into the eye of a tornado and watch the awesome power of a tsunami at a new exhibit opening at the Museum of Nature. The museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest exhibition, Nature Unleashed, will open on Sept. 28 and focuses on weather and other natural phenomena, offering spectators a look inside natural disasters. Museum of Nature curator Caroline Lanthier said the exhibition focuses on four main features, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and tornadoes, with plenty for spectators to do and see. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is all about learning the science behind the natural disasters and the impact these disasters have on humans,â&#x20AC;? Lanthier said. The first thing people will see is a look at the Earth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is Earth 101,â&#x20AC;? Lanthier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is all about what is earth, and why we have natural disasters.â&#x20AC;? The exhibit offers visitors the opportunity to touch and learn through sounds, pulleys and mechanical interactions, including the chance to create an earthquake or build a volcano. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really gives people an idea of what these disasters are
about,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And they are really popular.â&#x20AC;? The main feature of the exhibition, Lanthier said, is the tornado theatre. There, visitors will be able to stand in the middle of a wind tunnel and watch as a tornado comes toward them and surrounds them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels like you are inside the middle of the tornado,â&#x20AC;? she said. The attraction is made possible by video footage from a storm hunter, Sean C. Casey. It will allow visitors to learn all about the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which rates the strength of tornadoes in the United States, based on the impact of damage it can cause. A travelling exhibition from the Field Museum in Chicago, Lanthier and museum staff had to translate the entire exhibition to be bilingual.

And what to do if a hurricane comes to Ottawa? The museum has added a Canadian aspect to the exhibition, which looks at natural disasters throughout Canadian history and gives advice and offers up ideas of what to put in an emergency kit.

City switching to open source website to improve service Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
recreation registration that so often leaves frustrated parents refreshing their Internet browsers, information technology subcommittee chairman Coun. Tim Tierney said. Ottawa will become one of the largest Canadian cities to use open-source technology, joining the likes of the White
House, Statistics Canada, the Department of National Defence and Transport Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the new gold standard,â&#x20AC;? said Tierney, the councillor for Beacon Hill-Cyrville Ward. Since open source technology relies on a community of people to develop and
share tools, Ottawa is well positioned because so many federal departments based in the city are already using Drupal. In addition to making the site more flexible and able to respond to the needs of both the city and users, the other benefits will be a reduction in

EMC news - Error screens and backlogs during swimming registration on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website could be a thing of the past thanks to a new platform for ottawa.ca. The city is launching the
full new version of ottawa.ca on Nov. 19 and the site will be built on an open-source platform called Drupal. The content management system is more flexible, so it will enable the city to â&#x20AC;&#x153;scale upâ&#x20AC;? the capacity of the website to respond to peaks in demand, such as during online
licensing maintenance costs. The new ottawa.ca site will come with a mobile version, which is built-in with Drupal. There will also be an option to personalize the website for individual users; for instance, you could create a profile with services you use on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website and personalize the features that show up when you log in to ottawa.ca.

Ping pong tournament to raise money for charity Organizers looking to add to already overwhelming response michelle.nash@metroland.com
Canadian Citizenship not For Sale PATRICK BLAKE/SUBMITTED
The third annual Ottawa Charity Ping Pong Tournament will take place on Sept. 28 at the SpinBin in the Byward Market. All funds raised at the event will be in support of four local charities, Do it for Daron, the Youth Services Bureau, Operation Come Home and Christie Lake Kids.
Our Conservative Government is taking action to strip citizenship and permanent residence status from people who do not play by the rules; who lie, cheat, and scam the system. Having Canadian citizenship is an honour and a privilege, and we will apply the full strength of Canadian law against those who cheapen its integrity. Our Government’s investigation into this type of fraud continues to grow, with nearly 11,000 individuals potentially implicated in applying for citizenship or maintaining permanent resident status illegitimately. We have already started the process of revoking 3,100 fraudulently obtained citizenships. In most cases, those under investigation will use deceitful immigration representatives to fraudulently create evidence of living in Canada while actually residing overseas. This deception is created so that they can falsely document their status and later apply for citizenship. Investigations have found that a family of five may pay upwards of $25,000 over four or more years to create the illusion of Canadian residence.

This fraud hurts everyday Canadian families. Those who illegitimately obtain permanent residence or citizenship status have access to taxpayer subsidized education, health care, and other social benefits without ever contributing as taxpayers themselves. It also hurts the reputation of the majority of immigrants who come to Canada by following the rules with honesty and integrity.

CALL
Over the past six years, under the leadership of Stephen Harper and the Conservative Government, Canada has had the highest sustained level of immigration in history. We are committed to creating an immigration system that brings the world’s best and brightest to Canada, while protecting it against those who would abuse our generosity.

EMC news - A ping pong celebration set to make its return to the Byward Market aims to encourage everyone in the city to grab a racket, don a head band and the finest ping pong whites to serve up for local charities. The third Ottawa Charity Ping Pong Tournament takes place on Sept. 28 at the SpinBin at 310 Dalhousie St. in support of four charities: Do it for Daron, the Youth Services Bureau, Operation Come Home and Christie Lake Kids. Pointing out that the volleyball charity pool was well saturated, Michael Kirkpatrick and his friends wanted to hold a charitable event with a bit of bounce to it. According to the table tennis enthusiast, ping pong was the natural option. “The ping pong revolution is upon us and the people in Ottawa are responding,” Kirkpatrick said. The event is meant to be fun for everyone. Players ranging from high skilled to lowskilled as well as those with no skills at all are encouraged to participate. The registration fee is $40 and each player is guaranteed three games. All matches will be refereed. “Ping pong is the sport of the future,” Kirkpatrick said. “It is a sport everyone can play.” One caveat is that organizers have asked that much like in tennis, everyone must dress to impress in the finest “ping pong whites.” The tournament is still accepting donations with this year’s goal to raise $10,000. But as of Sept. 17, Kirkpatrick, who is also the event treasurer, said the event has already raised $20,000. “I am blown away by the kindness and generosity of businesses, participants and donors,” he said. In the past, the last two events raised a total of $7,000. Kirkpatrick credits the boost in donations to the changes from last year’s registration and this year. Those participating in the tournament this year have their own donation web page to solicit donations. “They can get all their friends and family and coworkers to donate, I guess it has really helped,” he said. Beyond what the participants can raise, there will also be a silent auction and a table tennis table will be raffled off. “This event is a lot bigger than we have done in the past,” he said. For the first time, the event has a title sponsor, Verdun
Windows and Doors. The food will be provided by Manotick Village Butcher and all participants will receive an official Ottawa Charity Ping Pong wristband and head band. “This year a lot of people have really stepped up to the plate,” he said. On top of providing sponsorship, Verdun Windows and Doors will also make a film for participants to take home. There is a 200 participant cut off, so anyone over the age of 19 is encouraged to register quickly. And seeing how bouncing a tiny ball back and forth may not be for everyone, people can also sign up online to be a spectator, for $30. Spectators receive two beverage tickets, food and a head band and wristband, too. Local musician Rory Gardiner and The Pelts will be offering up the musical entertainment for the tournament which begins at 7 p.m. More information about the tournament and the charities the event is supporting is available at www.ottawacharitypingpong.com.

Lainie Towell, left, and Dr. Megan Smith, curators of Orange Gallery, were on hand for the launch of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-ever Nuit Blanche art festival on Sept. 22. The festival, which ran from around 6:30 on Saturday evening until after 4 a.m. Sunday, is a celebration of public art.

EMC entertainment - Sometimes a good idea becomes a great idea in hindsight. After many successful Nuit Blanche public art events in places like Montreal and Toronto, the whimsical and creative allnight event came to Ottawa for the first time on Sept. 22. The event, which featured 120 contemporary art installations, took place in and around Hintonburg and the ByWard Market where temporary physical and performance art installations gave visitors an opportunity to see some unique, impromptu culture. Beginning at 6:22 p.m. on
Saturday and ending at 4:23 a.m. Sunday, everyone from those out for a nighttime walk to students on their way to a pub or club got to experience a piece of Nuit Blanche. Many were surprised to find art almost literally on their doorstep. Translated into into English as â&#x20AC;&#x153;white night,â&#x20AC;? the Nuit Blanche concept was born in France in the 1980s and has since been adopted in countries around the world. The theme of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural year was La Vie est Belle, or Life is Beautiful. The event kick-off was at the Orange Gallery in Hintonburg. Primary director Yves Larocque explained how
contemporary art is â&#x20AC;&#x153;art that makes people reflect,â&#x20AC;? telling the audience that at the very same time Nuit Blanche Ottawa was kicking off, Nuit Blanche Nippissing was also kicking off in North Bay. To bridge the two arts â&#x20AC;&#x153;zonesâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hintonburg and the Market â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a shuttle bus spent the evening driving back and forth between the communities. Not only was Nuit Blanche Ottawa a way of exposing people to art, it was also a way of getting Ottawans to hit the streets and explore their own neighbourhoods, discover local artists and galleries, and simply take part in an exciting movement thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far outside the box.
