EMC news - The Halloween fundraiser organized by the Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation will be moving to a bigger venue this year, but organizers want to assure Ottawans that last year’s popular Thriller dance will return. Last year’s Monster Mash, held at Christ Church Cathedral on Sparks Street, was a huge success and organizers want to capitalize on the popularity by expanding the event to include more attractions and participants. The Ukranian Banquet Hall on Byron Avenue plays host to Monster Mash II on Oct. 26 and will see the proceeds from 500 tickets go towards seven local charities benefitting people from all walks of life, in keeping with the Dragon Boat Foundation’s 20-year-history of charitable donations and fundraising. “Last year was our first year holding a fundraising event besides the Dragon Boat Festi-
val, so we could support charities throughout the year,” said Sandy Foote, chairman of the foundation’s board of directors. “We would like to hold a winter one, too.” The 500 tickets available for Monster Mash II is a significant increase over the 180 tickets sold for last year’s event, which Foote said raised $20,000 for local charities. The proceeds from both the Halloween event and the Dragon Boat Festival go to benefit a rotating list of charities and since the foundation was formed in 1993, 27 local charities have benefited from a total fundraising sum of $3 million. Monster Mash II promises to be a fun, busy night, both for ticket holders and volunteers. The venue will host a haunted house and zombie walk, a best costume competition, live music from The Dead Men, and (returning from last year) a re-enactment of the video for Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

EMC news – Ottawa women who have made the journey from being disenfranchised to leading city-hall consultation groups want to tell you their secrets. Members of the City for All Women Initiative are a diverse group of women with varying cultural backgrounds, many of whom are refugees or have
overcome abuse and now hold an ear at city hall. They have worked on a consultation strategy for the city’s recreation master plan now underway, and they helped develop an equity and inclusion lens that is used to judge how city reports address diversity and inclusion issues. The initiative’s latest project is a new book, Community Facilitation Guide: Weaving

Threads of Change. Members know better than anyone that encouraging change at city hall is as much an art as a science. “Now in the City of Ottawa there are many changes in policies,” said Valerie Assoi, a staffer for the initiative who helped author the book. “When there is change in policies, the city wants to know what the community feels … How (is city hall) going to
know that if they don’t have people there (in the community)?” That’s where the City for All Women Initiative’s training – and the book – come in. While the city may not have the resources to reach out to every facet of the community, the initiative can train and give people the skills to become facilitators in their communities and take those issues to city hall and decision makers. After refining their approach through community facilitator workshops run by
the initiative starting in 2010, the members decided to compile their knowledge into a practical guide and offer it to other community-based organizations, governments and companies that want to learn how to facilitate community engagement and build skills at the grassroots level. “This is helping to empower ourselves, our communities and future generations,” said Tina Viscent, one of the book’s authors.

Condo Act consultation shows much room for change Property taxes, dispute resolution among issues raised at Ottawa meeting Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
EMC news - Condo owners and stakeholders had the chance to weigh in on changes they’d like to see made to Ontario’s Condominium Act during a public information session held by the provincial government on Sept. 27. As the first phase of an 18-month study to review and update the act originally created in 1998, those with ex-
there is room to improve the existing legislation. Some of the comments previously received by reviewers include concerns over high number of absentee owners and the difficulty of holding general meetings, condo board directors who are uneducated in the laws pertaining to condo ownership, the use of reserve funds to repair older buildings and the failure of conflict resolution tactics during neighbour-to-neighbour
of consumer services, who hosted the meeting at the Argyle Street YMCA/YWCA alongside ministry staff and Ottawa-Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi. The current act is extensive, with numerous sections and related regulations, meaning the process of modernizing it will be extensive. However, previously received comments – which were shared with those attending the public information session – show
perience owning or managing condominiums were asked for their input. With more and more people switching from traditional houses to condominiums in Ontario, which now has more than one million condo dwellers, the provincial government felt the law was due for an update. “We need to get this right because it quite literally affects you where you live,” said Margarett Best, minister

board itself, owners are being forced to pick up the tab through increased fees. Another condo owner, Beverly Capstick, said she has raised the issue with Naqvi in the past, advocating for increased financial protection for condo owners by way of a judiciary body like the one renters and landlords have access to. Barry Spratt said, also in attendance at the open house, said he would also like to see protection for owners, as those who rent condo units from an owner are covered by the Landlord and Tenant Act. “We’re not protected,” he said. “Something has to be done here … something has to be set up where you can lodge a complaint.” Best said these were issues she hears often, stating that dispute resolution is behind a number of issues covered in the act and forms the basis of many complaints about act’s shortcomings. As the review process is still in the early stages, there is still time to raise issues and put forth ideas. A findings report is due out in late winter or early spring 2013, with the option for more public comment after that. Any reforms to the Condominium Act wouldn’t be finalized until spring 2014. Best encourages as many people to participate in the discussion as possible, either through public forums, the Internet, by mail, or by reaching a consensus amongst individual condo associations and submitting the combined comments. The Ministry of Consumer Services can be reached at oncondos@ontario.ca, and the process can be followed by visiting ontario.ca/condos.

quarrels. The comments made by Ottawa residents during the open mic portion of the Sept. 27 event went beyond these concerns, often illustrating the need for further protection for condo owners. Clarence Dungey, a condo director with years of experience, said the biggest complaint he gets from condo owners is related to why they should have to pay the same property tax as conventional homeowners while still paying for things traditionally covered by the city, such as fire hydrant inspection. “That (home) owner gets all the services of the city (when they pay taxes),” he said. “But as a condo manager I have to impose costs on the people I represent.” Dungey said in the Niagara area there is a movement to correct this situation and asked the minister what she was prepared to do. Best said although this issue doesn’t fall under the Condominium Act, she would raise it with fellow ministers. Dungey brought up the topic of overcrowded units caused by absentee landlords (he once found 17 students living in a three-bedroom condo) and echoed earlier comments stating that such situations add unnecessary stress to property managers. Other condo owners said they’d like to see more legal protection for condo board members and owners. As one man said, small “dissident groups” sometimes form inside condo buildings and sue former board members, who by then have no legal protection. In other cases, when those grievances and lawsuits are leveled against the condo

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

the roof at Pinecrest may be a warranty issue rather than a maintenance one, Chiarelli added that as council drafts the new development charges bylaw, it should ensure that some of the money collected from development charges goes to enhancing existing recreational infrastructure to a level that can keep pace with the growing population that it creates. “Obviously the investment of adequate dollars into lifecycle maintenance saves many more dollars in reconstruction,” he said.

EMC news - Concerns about pedestrian access to a large office complex near Bayview Transitway station will have to be addressed through the site plan after city council approved new zoning for an Albert Street development proposal. Council approved the new zoning to allow the 32- and 29-storey towers at 801 Albert St. on Sept. 26. Before council gave its consent to the zoning change,
Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes expressed concern about how the proposed buildings would affect neighbouring residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to access the transit hub, which will become a light-rail station and also marks the end of the O-Train line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to make sure we can attract as many riders as possible,â&#x20AC;? Holmes said at the meeting, â&#x20AC;&#x153;otherwise we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the use of our new transit system.â&#x20AC;? Pedestrian access was a major concern during the discussion at planning commit-
tee on Sept. 11. Eric Darwin of the Dalhousie Community Association was concerned that widening Albert Street to accommodate a turning lane for cars was a priority over widening sidewalks to account for the 5,400 or so people who would arrive by transit and on foot each day (there will be underground parking for around 275 cars). Those issues donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prevent city council from approving the rezoning, but they can be dealt with through a site plan application when the developer submits a detailed plan in advance of actually constructing the complex. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to create the same problem we did
with the busway transit systemâ&#x20AC;? by â&#x20AC;&#x153;cutting neighbourhoods off from the system,â&#x20AC;? Holmes said during the city council meeting. There will be two pedestrian accesses through the building, architect Vincent Colizza confirmed, and the city is working to hash out a legal agreement to ensure public access through those walkways for 18 hours each day as part of the Section 37 community benefit. A portion of the half-million dollar Section 37 contribution from the project will also go towards constructing a pedestrian and cycling bridge across the O-Train tracks to the Tom Brown Arena in Hintonburg.

Steve Evraire, director of TechU.me, addresses teachers and industry mentors during the program launch on Sept. 26. eral economic development agency for southern Ontario and help from partner companies allowed the pilot project to blossom into a full-blown program this year. The Sept. 26 launch allowed teachers and mentors to meet each other while familiarizing themselves with the Adobe software used for the program. Patrick Coxall, a former Nortel employee who now teaches computer science at Mother Teresa High School in Barrhaven, took part in the pilot project and is now one of the teacher-mentors. He said the speed at which the industry – and the technology it produces – moves forward is both exciting and challenging.

EMC news - Ottawa-area students are getting a sneak peak at the inner workings of the tech industry by developing their own educational mobile apps, part of a new mentorship program. Following a successful pilot project last year, a host of Grade 3 and 10 students at 16 elementary schools and 16 high schools in Ottawa are taking advantage of the mentorship program being offered by the Ottawa Network for Education and its tech industry partners. Called TechU.me, the mentor program aims to encourage students to pursue careers in educational programming. This year’s kick-off was held at the Adobe building on Preston Street, where a group of teachers from the participating schools met and shared information with 19 mentors from local high-tech companies, including Adobe. High school students are eager to learn about the technology they use regularly, said Steve Evraire, director of TechU.me. “As a classroom computer science teacher myself for 30 years, I always found that students are extremely creative when given the chance,” said Evraire. “Not only that, they are quite willing to see that skills learned in one environment transfer quickly to another without a lot of baggage … . Every so often as new technologies arise, it is almost always young people who embrace it first, and they are really excited to show their teachers, parents etc how they use it.” Under the program, students in Grade 3 and 10 work together to create the apps, with the elder students serving as mentors to the younger ones. Teachers guide the students’ progress, while mentors from the various tech compa-
not only a good job in regards to employment and career opportunities, but are genuinely excited and have passion about the industry,” he said. “Having people joining the field who are excited about what they do and what they work on only makes the tech industry stronger.”

EMC news - Mayor Jim Watson is backing a new casino for Ottawa and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ask the rest of city council to do the same. The mayor took to Twitter to announce his support for an Ottawa casino on Sept. 24. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will ask council to signal interest, in principle, in a new gaming facility (no location yet). This would allow the (Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation) to seek proposals,â&#x20AC;? the mayor stated through his Twitter account, @JimWatsonOttawa. An Ottawa casino would help the city earn more revenue at a time when aging infrastructure costs are creeping up, Watson said. He is proposing to spend revenue from a new casino equally on infrastructure renewal, job creation and economic development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every Ottawa dollar spent at the Gatineau casino is a dollar lost for Ottawa taxpayers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is time that we repatriate
that money and use it to create jobs here in Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? Watson said in the statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With infrastructure challenges and federal job cuts in Ottawa, we cannot miss out on a tremendous opportunity like this.â&#x20AC;? From Casino Lac-Leamy in nearby Gatineau to churchbasement bingos, gambling is already available and prevalent, Watson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My view is, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repatriate some of that money from Quebec and put it into the Ontario economy through jobs, economic development and to help pay for some of our infrastructure,â&#x20AC;? Watson said. The mayor added that Ottawa has the â&#x20AC;&#x153;worst of both worldsâ&#x20AC;? right now because gambling revenue goes to Gatineau and Quebec across the river, while Ottawa and Ontario must fund gambling addiction programs for citizens who use the Lac-Leamy facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said all along that my preference would be close to transit and the urban core,â&#x20AC;? Watson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
preclude someone from out at the airport, or downtown, or the raceway from putting a bid together.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what the Rideau-Carleton Raceway intends to do, said spokesman Alex Lawryk. The raceway already has an existing facility and room for parking, which would make it much cheaper to add to and convert into a casino, he said, adding that gambling in this region might not be prevalent enough to support a multi-million dollar investment in a new facility. Members of the public were set to have a chance to voice their opinions on a possible Ottawa casino during a finance and economic development committee meeting on Oct. 2. A report directing city staff to â&#x20AC;&#x153;research the economic benefitsâ&#x20AC;? of a gaming facility and consultant from Ottawa Public Health will be presented during that meeting. The committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation will be considered by full city council on Oct. 10. If it gets the thumbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up, Watson would write to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to signal that the city would support a new gaming facility in principle.

Glebe association looks at incorporating annex Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we should talk about this during the course of the year and come up with a structure that could work for them and the GCA,â&#x20AC;? she said. Previously the Glebe had absorbed residents living in the Dowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lake neighborhood, located immediately south of the Glebe Annex, into its coverage area. Formal discussions by the Glebe board discussions regarding the Glebe Annex began in January 2011. The
goal at that time was to hold a public consultation in the spring of 2011, which never took place. This lack of action on the matter is what led Galbreath to call on the board to move forward with the issue this year. Early decisions concerning the Glebe Annex saw the board agree to reach out to the community to gauge the level of support among residents for the idea. The Glebe association has
participated in consultations held by developers and city staff concerning the annex, with the association making formal comments on projects set to be developed in that neighbourhood. Galbreath said such representation may be something that residents of the Glebe Annex may be interested in. A final decision on the issue, the board said, would be made at the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual general meeting in the spring of 2013.

Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s casino wager the right call
D
espite the ethical hand-wringing that will inevitably accompany the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement last week that Ottawa will entertain any proposals from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to build a casino in the city, it is the right way to move forward on this issue. Casinos have been a reality in Ontario since 1994, in the capital region since 1996 and there have been slot machines at the Rideau Carleton Race-
way since 2000, meaning residents of this city have had plenty of opportunity to gamble for more than a decade. Getting squeamish about gambling at this point is a little naive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; gaming arrived in Ontario nearly 20 years ago. What is at issue is not if Ottawa will allow a casino, but where. Currently, gamblers travel to Gatineau or to the racetrack to place their bets. In the near future, OLG will close the slots at Rideau
Carleton, meaning any money made from gambling will leave the city, as will the jobs associated with the operation of the slots. It would be irresponsible for either Mayor Jim Watson or council to let this happen. As Watson said last week, â&#x20AC;&#x153;every Ottawa dollar spent at the Gatineau casino is a dollar lost for Ottawa taxpayers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is time that we repatriate that money.â&#x20AC;? What is at stake is whether Ottawa will allow jobs, gambling revenue and
associated tourist dollars to stay in our city or leave for good. The mayor indicated any revenue generated for the city by a casino will be spent on infrastructure renewal, job creation and economic development, all areas that will be moving to the forefront of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda in the coming years. But gambling revenues wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the only way building a casino could benefit the city. As the federal govern-
ment sheds jobs, new sources of employment will be vital to Ottawa. If one of those sources of new jobs is a casino, so be it. It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just be a casino, however, as other hospitality businesses would benefit from a casinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence, as would the more established Ottawa tourism industry. In order to ensure a casino is successful, the city will need to be brave enough to approve a location that ensures its success. This would likely involve a central location close to existing hotels and transit. To place it on the outskirts of the city would only deter tourists and serve
to limit the casinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity to benefit the city, making the whole exercise a waste of public time and resources. Does all this mean the city and the province would not have a responsibility to educate residents about problem gambling or support those who have an addiction? Of course not - and it would only be appropriate that some portion of gambling revenue be directed towards expanding and improving those efforts. Gambling is nothing new to the Ottawa region and by firmly putting his support behind any future OLG casino proposal Watson has placed a good bet on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future.

Life after the record storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demise CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
T
hese days, when you lament for the past you are not looking all that far back. Change happens so quickly that the latest thing becomes the previous thing in no time flat. DVD players came about 15 years ago. Five years after that they became dominant and people stopped renting videotapes. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next to impossible to rent a DVD. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bet the mortgage on the next thing lasting all that long either. Think of how long radio was dominant before television took over. Think of how long phonograph records lasted before CDs came along. Decades and decades. Now within a single decade we see new systems emerge, disappear and be replaced by others which then disappear too. If you feel too lazy to try to keep up, join the club. Last week Sam Sniderman died at 92. He was the founder of the record store Sam the Record Man. Located on Yonge Street in Toronto it was the place to go for fans of all kinds of music, especially the less popular kinds. Eventually there were more than 100 Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s across Canada, including several here. There was a pretty good one at Carlingwood and a really good one at Bayshore, with the jazz and classical music in a special glassed-in section of the store. Anywhere in Canada, if you wanted a wide selection of classical music or jazz or folk music, Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was where you went. Where do you go now? You go online. And who is there? No one, except you. Some of the comment on the death of Sam has stressed that point - that there was always someone knowl-
edgeable around the store to consult if you wanted to know about the latest Miles Davis reissue. But, actually, there is no shortage of opinion available today, expert and otherwise. If you want to buy the latest Miles reissue you can scan the web and find out what everyone thinks about it. You can probably sample a track. Even though there is no one to talk to in a store, you can find what you need to know. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the absence of expertise that makes the passing of the record (later CD) store lamentable. Nor is it that there is less music available. There is more. Those of us who grew up desperately searching for jazz in small-town record stores and on the radio find ourselves facing riches beyond belief on the Internet. So why do we miss the record store? Why, for that matter, will we miss the book store. There is no shortage of ways to get books online and no shortage of books either. Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because we feel we are at the mercy of technology. A record (or a CD) is a tangible thing. It is always there. Music on the Internet depends on your Internet connection; music on your computer depends on your hard drive not packing it in. It feels tenuous and temporary. Not to everyone, of course. It is not unusual to find people whose entire music collection is stored on a device smaller than, say, a DVD box. Their total embrace of the new technology is what has sparked the tremendous growth in online music and the death of the record store. To be fair, the record, or CD store, still exists. They are fewer and often drastically scaled-down. But a few stores, like Compact Music and CD Warehouse in Ottawa, are still fighting the good fight. In response to Sam Snidermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, there has been comment on the feeling of community in the store and the loss of that community since it closed. There is, of course, a new community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is online and it will take some getting used to. When Marshall McLuhan talked about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;global village,â&#x20AC;? he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the villagers would be solitary people at their computer screens.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse and someone walks you out the door, ideally with some kind of career transition counselling. In government, you get a notice that maybe, possibly, perhaps you’re going to lose your job at some point between now and six months from now. You have the option to take a package or a retraining amount and leave. But if you want to stay
employed you, and, say, 15 others who’ve received the same notice, are going to have to compete for positions. Imagine what this does to morale. The department affected goes into a tailspin. People’s reactions range from “the devil may care,” to panic-stricken. Whatever the response, it’s hard to go to work without looking at your
colleagues sideways. Part of the problem, and what causes much of the panic, is that people don’t have a Plan B, says Moira Hutchison, a life strategy mentor and coach. “When people work in the government, they feel like they’re set for life,” says Hutchison, owner of Wellness with Moira. “They have the pension and the health benefits. They may not even like their jobs, but they become so panic-stricken because the

t’s not an easy time to be a public servant. In Ontario, slightly more than half of teachers are locked in battle with the government. At the federal level, departments continue to implement broad and deep cuts to meet the Conservative party’s 2012 budget targets. On top of the internal strife, government workers must also deflect the near daily onslaught of criticism from the public and the media, which tend to portray them as greedy, lazy, and spoiled. There’s a widely-held perception, after all, that the public service is where talent and innovation go to die. Once people sign on, they’re there for life. No need to work hard. Push some paper. Organize a conference call now and again. Then you can just kick back and enjoy the ride – or, in this case, a lucrative benefit package. The sad thing is, as with most stereotypes, there’s some truth to this perception. It’s not surprising, really. The federal government employs a quarter of a million people. The hiring process alone is a cumbersome and lengthy affair, often taking more than six months to fill even an entry-level position. But if the hiring process is archaic, the firing process is positively draconian. In the private sector, you get a pink slip, maybe a package

She says everyone in government – regardless of whether their jobs are imminently affected or not – would be well-served to escape from the mindset that they are “lifers” in the government. A little innovation and entrepreneurship within their jobs could make them a lot happier and more productive, and it may just help them minimize that nasty public perception.

idea they had of safety and security has been stripped away from them. They are stuck.” For the last 10 years, Hutchison has been connecting clients with a number of self-help methods designed to help them get “unstuck”. “People forget what motivated them to get into these jobs in the first place,” explains Hutchison. “When the cuts come, they get frozen into this worst-case scenario kind of thinking. But before they hit a crisis, they need to be tapping into resources to make sure they have the tools for self-care, and are equipped to handle these things when they see it coming rather than

United Way aims to raise $30M Eddie Rwema Eddie.rwema@metroland.com
Ottawa City Councillor — Bay Ward Dear Neighbours, This month marks the half-way point in my term in office. It has been a long time coming but together we are once again taking serious steps to renew and rebuild our community. I want to share with you some of the improvements we have made together over the last two years. CRIME IS DOWN Bay Ward is becoming a safer place to live, thanks to the hard work of Crime Prevention Ottawa, the Ottawa Police Service, community and neighbourhood watch groups, and individual residents. Crimes against the person and crimes against property decreased by 27 per cent, according to a study conducted for Crime Prevention Ottawa by independent researchers. MORE LOCAL JOBS I have made economic development in Bay Ward one of my top three priorities during my term of office. We have overcome several years of delay and taken a number of steps to help Bayshore Shopping Centre move forward on their renovation plan. Expanding Bayshore will create over 400 new, permanent jobs in Bay Ward. Bay Ward has seen more job creation since I took office, and we will see more. Including Bayshore’s redevelopment, the Fairlawn Plaza redevelopment at Carling and Fairlawn Avenue, and my continued work to revitalize Carling Avenue between Pinecrest Road and Bayshore Drive we will be creating more local jobs for residents of all ages. DECREASED SPEEDING Speeding is one of the most common concerns I hear from residents. Together, we have slowed down traffic by conducting speeding awareness campaigns and by decreasing the maximum speed limit on several residential roads across Bay Ward. With the help of the Ottawa Police and community associations, we conducted slow-down campaigns on Lockhart Avenue in the Carlingwood neighbourhood, Lenester Avenue in Glabar Park and Woodridge Crescent in Bayshore. We received lots of positive feedback from residents in these communities who were pleased to see more drivers obeying the speed limit. The maximum speed limit on Riddell Avenue North, Regina Lane and Richlin Crescent have all decreased by 10 kilometers per hour to make these streets safer for drivers and pedestrians. I have also acted to protect the safety of some of our most vulnerable children by installing a flashing safety and speed beacon outside of the Crystal Bay Centre for Special Education. BETTER PARKS AND A NEW RECREATION CENTRE Bay Ward needs better access to recreation and park space. We have begun planning new parks and recreation facilities in Withrop Court, Michele Park, Bayshore Park and at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre in Britannia Park. Bay Ward’s first new park in over 20 years will be built in Winthrop Court in 2013. We have secured $300,000 to build an accessible park for this affordable housing community at the corner of Richmond Road and Croydon Avenue. The Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre will be modernized with suggestions for a cardio and weight room, an updated kitchen, an art gallery and a 10,000 square foot second floor addition, among other improvements. We are currently accepting suggestions from Bay Ward residents and Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre user groups about what they want to see in the updated centre. Michele Park will be improved with a new multi-purpose field, expanded community garden plots and upgraded playground equipment. New fences, paved pathways and more lighting will address safety concerns that I have heard from some residents about Michele Park. We have begun the initial stages of work to strengthen recreational and community gathering opportunities in Bayshore Park as well.
EMC news - The United Way Ottawa has lowered this year’s fundraising target after falling $1.5 million short of last year’s goal of $33.5 million. More than 1,000 people attended a rally at the CE Centre on Sept. 27, when the United Way officially launched the 2012 Community Campaign, announcing a fundraising target of $30 million – $3.5 million less than last year’s target. “We are being respectful of the economic dynamics of the community right now. There are wage freezes, job cuts and we have a smaller public service this year. The goal reflects that and we are respectful of that,” said campaign co-chair and television personality Angie Poirier. She urged those present at the launch to give, speak-up and take action to support the community. “We are pretty confident that we are going to make our goal and again exceed it if possible,” said Poirier. Campaign co-chair, Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he was

More than 47% of adults in Ontario have been exposed to or know someone who is the victim of child abuse and neglect. In Ottawa alone, only 42% of residents claim to know how to report abuse directly to the CAS. These numbers suggest there are far too many vulnerable children and youth, without a voice, in our community. During Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month, through a variety of media outlets and social media tools, it is the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa’s mission to educate the public about the prevention of abuse.
Signs may not always be obvious in a child who has been abused or neglected. This is why it is our responsibility, as a community, to stay informed of the signs of abuse and learn when and who to call to help a child. “If your gut tells you that something’s wrong, then it probably is,” continues MacKinnon. Not all calls received by CAS result in an investigation, and only an extremely small percentage of investigations require that a child or youth be removed from the family home. Most often, the intervention involves simply connecting the family to services within the community. Last year, in more than 90 per cent of cases where CAS became involved, work was done with the family and the child stayed home. To learn more about the warning signs of abuse, visit useyourvoice.ca. Get involved and help protect children in our community. If you suspect child abuse or neglect call 613-747-7800, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. R0011647598-1004

“People feel it’s hard to infringe on parental rights, and they’re naturally hesitant to involve themselves,” says Barbara MacKinnon, Executive Director of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa. “When reporting to CAS, it doesn’t mean we are going to remove a child from their home. It is about assessing the situation and discovering whether the family may benefit from support services.”

It’s all done at no cost to the children’s families,” she said. “It’s such a fantastic humanitarian effort.” Funding for the operations, travel expenses, lodging and follow-up appointments is covered by Save a Child’s Heart and its partner agencies. Choices is one of the Federation’s many annual fundraising events. Envisioned as a compelling and inspirational evening for those in attendance, the event features speeches from women who have made life-altering choices. Proceeds raised go towards the Federation’s annual campaign to support more than 20 Jewish beneficiary agencies in the Ottawa area.

EMC community - Cardiac surgeons are a unique breed of medical practitioner, honing a specific skill set with which they perform life-saving operations. Sometimes, however, their actions can elevate them to humanitarian status. One of those people is Dr. Livia Kapusta, who will be in Ottawa on Oct. 24 to deliver a speech at the Jewish Federation of Ottawa’s Choices event, as well as meet with members of the local medical community. A Dutch cardiac surgeon now working in Israel, Kapusta has gained international recognition for helping give children from developing countries a new lease on life by way of heart surgery. As part of the surgical team behind Save a Child’s Heart, a humanitarian project based out of the Wolfson Medical Centre in Israel, Kapusta travels to developing nations to assess the condition of impoverished children needing life-saving cardiac surgery. Organizers of the federation’s annual women’s evening are excited by the prospect of having a member of this inspirational humanitarian team speak at Choices. “(Save a Child’s Heart) is a very unique and moving endeavour,” said Cindi Resnick, a member of the federation’s Choices committee, who toured the Israeli hospital two years ago and encouraged fellow members to bring Kapusta to Ottawa for the event. “The doctors bring the children to Israel where they re-
olam” – which translates to “repairing the world” – and said the work of Kapusta and her fellow surgeons shows they strongly believe in this sentiment. Given Kapusta’s professional credentials, event organizers sought to capitalize on her visit by arranging meetings between Kapusta and cardiac teams from the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. They also hope to introduce her to an interfaith group operating within their clergy. Choices is now in its sixth year, attracting 300 participants annually. Fundraising campaign chairman Mike Landau said the federation’s fundraising activities are as diverse as they are inclusive – much like the individual campaigns supporting the United Way. Yearly fundraising totals regularly reach $4 million.

Work on research complex begins New $57-million University of Ottawa building to be ‘world class’ Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - A new building at the University of Ottawa will shed some positive light on research in the capital. Construction on the $57million Advanced Research Complex building began in July. On Sept. 25, the university held its official groundbreaking ceremony for the building to celebrate and promote all the new opportunities the science and engineering
complex will bring to the city. The building will have a strong focus on photonics, which is the study of light. Mona Nemer, vice-president of research at the university, and her colleagues have been discussing the need for a photonics research facility since 2009. Once completed, Nemer said the building would benefit not only the university, but for the city and rest of the country as well. “Many people ask me why photonics,” she said. “But I
On September 28, Ontario’s Minister of Energy Chris Bentley visited Chaudière Generating Station No. 2, one of Hydro Ottawa’s historic hydroelectric generating stations at Chaudière Falls. The station, commissioned in 1891 and refurbished and fully automated in 2001, is a heritage-designated building that is Canada’s oldest fully-functional run-of-theriver hydroelectric facility. Minister Bentley was accompanied by Pierre Richard, Chairman, Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. and Hydro Ottawa Limited; and Bryce Conrad, President and CEO, Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. Hydro Ottawa also owns Chaudière Generating Station No. 4, built in 1900 and refurbished in 2005, as well as a smaller station named the Grinder Powerhouse which uses an innovative technology that is similar to a pump operating in reverse – the first time this technology has been used at a scale of 700 kilowatts or more. Hydro Ottawa’s Chaudière Falls stations have a generating capacity of 17 megawatts and an annual production of about 125,000 megawatt hours of green energy. With the addition of its landfill gas-to-energy generation, Hydro Ottawa is the largest generator of green power in eastern Ontario. This green energy portfolio will expand with the closing of the acquisition of three more hydroelectric stations at Chaudière Falls from Domtar with a capacity of 20 megawatts. The acquisition will more than double Hydro Ottawa’s hydroelectric generating capacity, enabling the company to generate enough clean, renewable energy to meet the annual needs of 28,000 households. Another benefit of the acquisition is that the Chaudière Falls site is one of the largest remaining sites available in Ontario, with an expansion opportunity that could see Hydro Ottawa’s hydroelectric capacity grow to 60 megawatts.

laboratories. “The groundbreaking of this world-class facility sets Ottawa on the path to becoming the geoscience capital and the photonics capital of the world,” said university president Allan Rock. It will also house Canada’s only accelerator mass spectrometer lab, which will feature Canadian technology used world-wide to measure trace atoms with unstable nuclei, called radionuclides. That device is currently at the University of Toronto, but will move to Ottawa once the building is complete. “The University of Toronto donated $1-million worth in equipment in support for this, because they said they felt this lab was the best place (for the mass spectrometer) to be,” Nemer said. Once complete, this building will be home to physics and engineering experts, including the university’s Dr. Robert Boyd, a global leader in the field of photonics and Canada Excellence Research chairman in quantum nonlinear optics. The building will be complete in the spring of 2014.

say why not photonics? It is almost like, we have to study it, why not study it well.” Nemer added that the research facility will likely attract people from around the world wanting to study photonics. Both the federal and provincial governments have matched funding for the university to build and purchase equipment for the building as well as create new scholarship awards and research project opportunities. Minister of state for science and technology Gary Goodyear attended the ceremony on behalf of the federal government. “This facility will train the next generation of researchers,” Goodyear said. “We do expect a lot (from the researchers) but we know, with this building you can deliver.” The federal government contributed $5.5 million toward the construction of the Advanced Research Complex and $7.2 million for equipment. The new five-storey, 13,490-square-metre building, will house two separate research efforts, a new space for the uOttawa Centre for Advanced Photonics and 10 state-of-the-art geosciences

Hintonburg celebrates successful year at AGM, holds course steph.willems@metroland.com
in Ottawa on Oct. 16, though the entire hearing could last up to four days. There, the association will make its case that the developer should make changes to the design of the proposed building. In its current form, the Claridge building is five storeys tall fronting on Somerset, with the 23-storey tower rising up from the back of the long, narrow property. The orientation of that tower is the exploitation of a loophole, according to Leiper, as the community design plan created for Hintonburg shows that area of Somerset as being a traditional main street, meaning buildings of six to
eight storeys would be acceptable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The CDP that was finalized this summer only goes 50 feet from the street, and the back part of this property has the height,â&#x20AC;? said Leiper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone to the OMB to say (the entire project) should be capped at six to eight storeys.â&#x20AC;? Outside of the realm of zoning, past events that proved popular - like the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s street hockey tournament and movie night - will return this coming year. Leiper made the point of declaring that for the first year in its 21-year history, the HCA â&#x20AC;&#x153;didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much to do on the security front,â&#x20AC;? adding
that the security committee was able to reduce the frequency of its meetings.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a long, 20-year battle, and that battle is pretty much over now.â&#x20AC;?

EMC community - There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much of a shakeup at the Hintonburg Community Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual general meeting on Sept. 27 as its recent successes set the course for the coming year. In terms of board composition, two outgoing members - Valerie Stam and Gemma Boag - left while Thomas Williams, Barbara Long and Kerry Millican were added. While some time at the meeting was dedicated to reflect on the highlights of what president Jeff Leiper calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;a really big year,â&#x20AC;? pressing matters took up most of the agenda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a big year in terms of events and our cycling champions,â&#x20AC;? he said in an interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, our zoning committee has 13 items to present and that took up the bulk of the meeting. Those ranged from small infill developments to the two big pieces on our plate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the 233 Armstrong St. proposal by Tega Homes and our appeal to the (Ontario Municipal Board) of the 1050 Somerset St. proposal by Claridge Homes.â&#x20AC;? It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long ago the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest battle was against crime and prostitution in the community. Now, with those issues effectively re-
solved by the efforts of both police and residents, the focus has now turned to zoning issues as the rapidly gentrifying neighbourhood attracts attention from homebuyers and developers alike. The two largest proposals before the zoning committee are located on the fringes of the community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tegaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application for a 36 storey tower at Parkdale Avenue and Armstrong Street was re-submitted as an eight and 18-storey development, the latter of which exceeds the guidelines contained in the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community design plan. Claridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 23-storey tower at Somerset and Breezehill was approved by city council, triggering an appeal of the project to the Ontario Municipal Board by the association. The appeal stated the developer took advantage of a planning â&#x20AC;&#x153;loopholeâ&#x20AC;? that existed on the property. The AGM provided the board with the opportunity to ask the membership if launching an appeal to the OMB was something they supported. The answer was positive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the ability to poll our members,â&#x20AC;? said Leiper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was something we did out of good conscience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got overwhelming support in return. It was good to know the community is behind us in this appeal.â&#x20AC;? That appeal will be heard

EMC community - Mats and bare feet. Dans and belts. Noise then silence. It takes time to get used to a taekwondo studio, so getting an early start helps. Autumne Cadieux, 12, already has eight years experience under her belt, which is half red and half black, with the white stripes. The colour scheme of the belt around her waist identifies her as the top of her age group; she can’t earn a full black belt until she is 14. Until then she’ll continue to hone her skills at Tae E. Lee Taekwondo, near Westgate Shopping Centre, where she spends time up to five days a week. Along with two classes each week, Cadieux practises with the Tae E. Lee demonstration team – among the highest honours an athlete can earn. Being a team member means she stands out during a class, with her bright blue jacket and its colourful dragon emblem standing out among many other athletes in their white uniforms. “I look forward to performing (with the demonstration team),” Cadieux said, adding that practice and her 14th birthday will allow her

Only 12, Autumne is already a third dan black belt martial artist. to advance from her current position as a third dan. “I’d like to be a master; a fourth dan,” she said. For much of the year, Cadiuex volunteers to teach students in a special needs class that Tae E. Lee hosts for free once a week. This is the third year she has worked with the special needs group, and the students – both children and young adults – look the part in their outfits and belts. The students’ enthusiasm is obvi-
ous and they carefully follow instructions during a spirited warmup. Cadieux isn’t aiming for an Olympic berth as she prefers the patterns and performance of demo team members. Taekwondo athletes at the Olympics must spar with each other to win medals. The Tae E. Lee year starts in October, and demo team members aim to be ready for competition in late spring. As that approaches, training sessions increase.

The amount of detail about potential merchants for the retail portion of the Lansdowne Park redevelopment has Capital Coun. David Chernushenko concerned about the potential for success of the $165 million project. nomic development committee was set to debate the report at an evening meeting on Oct. 2. While the entire development, including Frank Clair Stadium, is expected to be fully complete by 2015, the sta-
dium won’t be ready in time for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup games in 2014. Ottawa will still welcome the Women’s World Cup in 2015 and CFL football will be ready to go in later 2014.

derived from selling naming rights at Lansdowne is attributed to expanding the scope of naming opportunities, said city manager Kent Kirkpatrick. Earlier versions of the plan estimated that $15.7 million could be raised from finding sponsors to name components of the stadium and arena, but a consultant determined that $50.2 million could be raised from finding sponsors to name various components of the entire site, including the commercial section and the urban park.

EMC news - The cost to the city of redeveloping Lansdowne Park has risen by $12 million, but consultants are busy finding ways to defray the costs. A report released on Sept. 25 advises city council to move forward with the plan and provides an updated snapshot of the costs, revenue and the retail mix. The additional cost includes $3.3 million for the $74.9 million stadium, an extra $5.6 million to build a 1,370-space parking garage and $3.1 million more for the office, residential, and public components. Eighteen months of delays caused by a rigorous design process and legal challenges brought by the Friends of Lansdowne and the Lansdowne Park Conservancy have put an additional $8.2 million budget pressure on the project. The list of confirmed merchants (Empire Cinemas, Whole Foods and LCBO) coming to Lansdowne remains at three, but consultants say leases for 73 per cent of the retail space are very close to being signed, which is the norm for a development at this stage, according to the city report. That didn’t sit well with Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, who said he is still not comfortable with the messages he has received on retail at Lansdowne. “There are a number of important aspects to this report, but the one that jumps out to me is the lack of detail on the retail,” Chernushenko said. “This is the last and indeed almost only chance for councillors and for the public to know what it is we’re buying into. What is it we’re spending $165 million on … . We can’t just say, ‘Trust us, sign here.’ This is the last chance. This is where we sign the cheque and it can’t be a blank one.” The whole development is expected to cost $400 million to build, which is shared with the private partner building the project, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group. Chernushenko said it’s hard for him to believe that city council’s condition that the retail be a “unique and distinct” mix without seeing even a preliminary list of retailers who’ve committed to the Lansdowne vision will be achiveived. “It’s chance of success relies on it being unique and distinct, because why else would you choose … to go there when you can find the exact same mix of stores with free parking closer to you?” Chernushenko said. Meanwhile, a whopping 212 per cent increase in the potential revenue that could be

MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories fear. Even in the cities so far away children felt secure and a motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warning was not to be wary of strangers, but rather to keep out of the ditches of water so that we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch our deaths of cold. I am thankful I lived in an era where the owner of the general store trusted his customers. Where you filled your own bag of cookies, put it on the scale yourself and had the cost added to your motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill which hung on a nail behind the counter. And if you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money to pay for your groceries, you could offer a trade.

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

PAT TREW Food â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Stuff room temperature â&#x20AC;˘ 2 1/3 cups flour â&#x20AC;˘ 1 cup candied fruit â&#x20AC;˘ 1/4 cup raisins â&#x20AC;˘ 1 1/4 tsp. bread machine yeast Before you start, measure the candied fruit into a sieve and rinse it under cold water to remove excess sugar or syrup. Spread the fruit on two sheets of paper towel and blot up as much of the water as you can. Set aside. If your machine has an â&#x20AC;&#x153;extrasâ&#x20AC;? option allowing the user to add fruit or nuts automatically, measure the raisins into that section. If it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, you will have to add the raisins later. Place the water, milk powder, egg, salt, sugar and butter in the bread machine pan in that order. After measuring the flour, use about two tablespoons of it to lightly dust the candied fruit.
Place the remaining flour in the bread pan and then add the floured fruit. Leave a small area free of fruit, and measure the yeast into that spot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the yeast sticking to the fruit and not mixing into the batter. Set the bread machine for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweetâ&#x20AC;? cycle or on some machines itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fruit and nutâ&#x20AC;? cycle. If it has the automatic â&#x20AC;&#x153;extrasâ&#x20AC;? feature, press the â&#x20AC;&#x153;extrasâ&#x20AC;? button. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the â&#x20AC;&#x153;delayâ&#x20AC;? cycle. This recipe makes a 1.5pound loaf. If your bread machine has a setting for different loaf sizes, press the one for this size. Start the machine. If your machine doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the â&#x20AC;&#x153;extrasâ&#x20AC;? feature, it will beep when it is time to add extras. Add the raisins and let the machine continue until the bread is done. Remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool for an hour before serving.

n one of our visits to Jeffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents, his mother and I went shopping in the local supermarket. In the bakery section, we came across a loaf of bread called a chop suey loaf. We could see that it contained fruit, not Chinese vegetables, and decided to give it a try. With a soft texture and bits of candied fruit scattered through each slice, it was delicious, plain or toasted. After some experimenting when I got home, I came up with a similar loaf that I could make in my bread machine. To make this, use the diced candied fruit that you use in holiday baking. The recipe calls for skim milk powder and water. In some recipes, you can substitute milk for the dry milk powder, but not in this one. Milk makes the loaf dense, while the skim milk powder gives a much lighter texture.

“We have had a chance to try really innovative forms of community consultation in partnership with CAWI,” Burry said. Aleksandra Milosevic, a community developer at the Centertown Community Health Centre, said the guide has really excited her fellow community development professionals across the field. “I flipped through it and I’m already ecstatic,” she said. “Looking at it, I see lots of possibility. It is truly a gift of learning.” Print copies are available for $20 through the website at www.cawi-ivtf.org.
The Thriller dance was unexpectedly popular at the first Monster Mash – so popularthat a Thriller flash mob was held at this year’s festival. “Everyone I talk to says it was such a blast last year,” said Shona Fleming, director of the foundation. “Honestly, I can’t believe how excited people got for this.” She said a number of the volunteers at Monster Mash belong to the organizations who will benefit from the fundraiser. That participation makes for a real community event. “If it all goes well again we R0011655298
The book provides an overview of the initiative’s approach to social change education and includes tips, exercises and handouts for facilitating workshops. Most importantly to the City for All Women Initiative, the guide offers straightforward and practical tools for including the voices of a diverse population, including immigrants, aboriginal peoples, francophones, people with disabilities and those living in poverty. “This book is the story of threading all of the experienc-
es of the people who contributed,” said Terri-Lee RayvalsMele, one of the authors who contributed to the guide. “It is a weaving of diversity, expertise and learning.” Community engagement professionals who had a hand in advising the project said they were very impressed by the practicality of the book and the level of detail. Aaron Burry, the city’s general manager of community and social services, said the initiative’s approach has proved beneficial for the city and he is happy to see the guide made available to other groups who could have the same impact.

EMC news - It was a special visit for patients at CHEO as the Olympic Heroes Tour arrived at the hospital on Sept. 19. The Olympic Heroes Tour was held in Ottawa and Toronto, and brought Canadian Olympians and Paralympians to schools and CHEO to meet with children. Several medalists, including open water swimmer Richard Weinberger and Paralympic swimmer Summer Mortimer, brought their medals for the youths to try on. There was a lot of energy when athletes entered a room, and Olympians and officials packed around patients who were eager to meet the athletes they cheered during the summer. The tour was set to conclude in Toronto with a parade through the downtown core on Sept. 21, with the athletes taking the train from Ottawa after Sept. 19 visits. Selena Close, 11, from Stittsville, watched many of the athletes in the room all
