Fallen soldiers to be added to Osgoode cenotaph More than a dozen names missing from First and Second World War memorials Emma Jackson

EMC news – A local historian is leading the charge to remember more than a dozen fallen soldiers who are missing from Osgoode Township’s First and Second World War cenotaphs. Coreen Atkins-Sheldrick has been researching the area’s military history for more than a decade. She has uncovered seven World War I soldiers and another seven World War II soldiers who were killed in action and should potentially be included on the township’s cenotaph outside the old Metcalfe town hall. The word “potentially” is key. Atkins-Sheldrick admits evidence of ties to the township is shaky for several
names, although others are solidly tied to the area and were missed for a variety of reasons. She has the support of the Osgoode Village Community Association, as well as Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre. Both are keenly involved in launching the Fallen But Not Forgotten Initiative to raise about $5,000 towards updating and restoring the Metcalfe memorial – about half of what it would likely cost to add the names, clean the memorials and fix the damaged bases. The other half would come from the Veterans Affairs Cenotaph/Memorial Restoration matching program. Poilievre said it’s important to remember the men and women who made “the ulti-

mate sacrifice” for Canada, a country to which they never returned. “Some of these names never made it onto the cenotaph behind us, and as a result they have not been properly remembered by the wider community and country they were serving,” he said. The community’s portion of the funds must be raised before the government will bestow any money, and an account has been opened with Scotiabank in Osgoode under the initiative’s name so residents can make donations. Atkins-Sheldrick said it will be a busy summer for her as she finishes her research to decide who should be added to the memorial. She hopes to have the cenotaph updated by early October.
The World War I memorial would receive a new base, on which the additional names would be engraved. The original memorial would be cleaned but not replaced. The Second World War memorial could also receive a new base if enough names are confirmed, but Atkins-Sheldrick suspects there’s enough room on the original stone for the number of men who are found to have a true Osgoode connection. The badly damaged base of the flag pole will also be replaced, she said. Atkins-Sheldrick began researching the area’s military history in 2000, speaking with veterans and recording their stories. She eventually published a two-volume book on the
area’s military involvement. Through her research, she has discovered three young men killed in World War I – ages 21, 22 and 26 – who will definitely be added to the memorial. • Ernest Bonsall was born in 1895 in Poltimore, Quebec, although there is some evidence he was actually born in Ottawa. His family moved to Osgoode Township in 1902 and farmed there until 1915. Bonsall enlisted on June 3, 1916. He left for Europe in June, 1917 and by June, 1918 he was officially declared dead after being reported missing in action on November 6, 1917. His remains were never located. FALLEN see page 9

Manotick legionnaires accept Diamond Jubilee medals Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
EMC news – As Queen Elizabeth II sailed down London’s River Thames to celebrate 60 years on the throne, back in Manotick 17 legion members were being recognized for their own longstanding service to their country. The dedicated legionnaires received the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal on Sunday, June 3, which is being awarded to 60,000 worthy Canadians this year who have contributed to the betterment of their community and country. The Manotick men and women were nominated by a sub-committee of the Manotick Legion Branch 314. Medal winners included branch president Richard Coles and vice president Roy Blair, as well as a number of lifetime members. Coles said it is “very significant” that so many Manotick residents have been honoured for their service as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. “It simply demonstrates the amount of people who are donating their time and skills and talents to the service of the community,” he said. “This community has a lot of activities, it couldn’t really thrive without a lot of volunteer support and contributions.” The medals were handed out by Conservative senator Marjory LeBreton, who also lives in Manotick. The other recipients included Dr. Dennis Osmond, Barry Young, Joyce LeBeau, Joan Brownrigg Barrow, Paul Allen, Margery Toner, Gary White, Allan Haan, Jean Lanouette, Bryan Dorling,
Monique Lanouette, Col. Michael Calnan, John Kersley, Larry Ellis and Kristina Schulz. Each has contributed to the legion and the community in their own way. For example, Osmond is a respected doctor, and received the Order of Canada in 2006 for his community service in the field of medicine. Paul Allen volunteers with seniors and has done pastoral work in several First Nations communities. Margery Toner is an active volunteer and is working to record Manotick’s living history for the Rideau Township archives. Kris Schulz is involved in almost every community group in Manotick, from the Kiwanis to Watson’s Mill to the horticultural society. Monique Lanouette’s commitment to the community was renewed last year after she fell through the Rideau River near her home and struggled to get out alive. Feeling her life was spared for a reason, Lanouette has redoubled her volunteer efforts to make sure she helps the community in any way she can, according to the event program’s short biography. All of the recipients are active legion members, and volunteer their time at events, committees and ceremonies throughout the year. These are not the first Diamond Jubilee medals to honour Manotick residents, nor will they be the last. In February, retired scientist Peter Meincke was among 60 Canadians to receive the very first medals on the anniversary of Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne, presented by Governor General David Johnston.
On June 20, Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod will award a number of residents from the riding with their own jubilee medals during a ceremony at Watson’s Mill. MP Pierre Poilievre is still collecting nominations for his riding and will host his award ceremony later this year. According to a spokesperson at Rideau Hall, which is co-ordinating the medals across the country, community groups, members of parliament, cabinet ministers and senators are all allocated a certain number of medals to hand out in their community. Each province and territory also gets a certain number of recipients based on population. Media relations officer Marie-Pierre Belanger said it won’t be clear until after February 2013 when the program ends if one community happens to have a higher proportion of award winners than another.

event, which he said could not go on otherwise. “The businesses are giving us fences and washrooms and heaters. We can’t do without them,” he said. The Shroomfest committee spent $2,000 this year to be incorporated. The remaining funds are being held for donations throughout the year, and in bond for promised donations in the future.

EMC news – Shroomfest organizers once again handed out record amounts of cash after they raised more than $47,000 at the annual men’s night out in May. On Thursday, June 7 community groups, sports teams and charities from across the Osgoode Township gathered at the Metcalfe Curling Club to accept donations ranging from $250 to $6,000, for a grand total of $40,200 in donations. The biggest winner was the home support program run by Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS), which received $6,000 to help drive seniors in the Osgoode and Rideau-Goulbourn area to doctors’ appointments and other meetings. ROSSS chairman Don Slack said the organization drove about 180,000 kilometres last year helping seniors and adults with disabilities get to appointments, and delivered about 5,000 meals on wheels. This year the organization’s vehicles will once again be “powered by Shroomfest” – and it makes a huge difference. “We get 48 per cent from the province, the city and the United Way. The rest of it, we’re on our own. This is the largest donation we get on a yearly basis, and we really appreciate it,” he said. The Metcalfe Recreation Committee received $3,500 towards its flowers and parks projects, its Christmas parade and its road sign maintenance program. The Winchester and District Memorial Hospital received $3,000 for medical equipment. Hospital community engagement manager Christina Enright couldn’t stress enough how important such a donation is. “It’s through your generosity, through this, that allows our hospital to continue to advance,” she said. “We really are very, very blessed because that hospital has been built by the community. We have no money that comes to us for medical equipment for the hospital. It’s all paid for by donations.” The Metcalfe Lions Club received $2,900, the Metcalfe Agricultural Society received $2,550 and the Osgoode Township Care Centre and Make a Wish Foundation both received $2,500. Just Kiddin’ Theatre received $2,300, which founder Andrie Nel said will be used to buy flexible stage panels. The Metcalfe Volunteer Fireman’s Association also received $2,300, which Adrian Deerman said will be used to install a concrete pad at the Metcalfe fire hall so the volunteers can practice auto extraction right at the station. “You know what Bank Street’s been like this year. All we can do is train, train, train so we can get better,” he said. A number of organizations received cheques for $1,000, including Osgoode Township High School’s Relay for Life
event, Metcalfe Public School and St. Catherine Catholic School’s joint venture to install a playground, and the financial aid program with the Metcalfe Minor Hockey Association. The hockey association’s financial aid program anonymously helps kids in the area who otherwise would not have the means to participate. Last year the association helped seven kids stay on the ice, and this year’s $1,000 donation will help at least two. Keith McWhinnie accepted a $1,500 cheque for the Vernon Recreation Association, which has been working on an outdoor hockey rink for several years. The only thing missing, he said, is a shelter to tie your skates. With the Shroomfest donation, the association will be able to build the shelter this year. A number of other groups received donations ranging from $250 to $850, which they will use to buy sports equipment, update technology, hire support staff and purchase supplies. Shroomfest organizer Al Graham said it was proof of the community’s generosity that one charity was able to turn down the $1,000 donation Shroomfest offered. The school drug education program, which was travelling to local schools to teach kids about drugs and alcohol, struggled for several years to fund its programs, but this year had enough community support on its own, he said. “That’s just another great story about Shroomfest,” Graham said. Graham said support for Shroomfest is unparalleled from residents as well as sponsors. A long list of local businesses contributed to the

EMC news - The Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind had a busy first week of June, as hundreds of visitors poured through the Manotick headquarters for Doors Open Ottawa on June 2 and dozens more returned to the village for a golf tournament on June 4. Despite a soggy weekend, Guide Dogs communications officer Steve Doucette said the open house was chaotic on Saturday, June 2 as hundreds of people came out for tours and demonstrations at the organization’s national headquarters on Rideau Valley Drive. The facility trains service dogs to help people with visual impairments, and clients from across the country live at the facility for up to four weeks while they train with their new dog.
Doucette said the crowds coming through the facility were huge, and more people than staff could count showed up throughout the day. “It was so busy, it was unbelievable. This was steady, non-stop. We had hundreds of people waiting in line for a tour,” he said.

event. While it was chaotic for staff and volunteers, Doucette said it was positive in terms of raising awareness about what the organization does. “It was a positive thing from a PR point of view. I think we educated a lot of people that day,” he said. Doucette said the Guide Dogs would like to partner with Doors Open again in the future, but it depends on the centre’s training schedule. When there are clients training with their service dogs at the facility, it is not open to tours or visitors. “It’s their home away from home. It’s to respect their privacy,” Doucette said. “We would (partner with Doors Open) again if the opportunity exists, but it depends on our schedule of training.” This year the facility just squeaked in to the Doors Open weekend, as clients left with their dogs on Friday. On Monday, June 4 visitors once again came out to support the Guide Dogs organization, but this time they were on the green. More than 70 golfers gathered for a charity golf tournament at the Carleton Golf and Yacht Club to enjoy lunch and dinner, a silent auction and, of course, 18 holes of golf. Doucette didn’t have final fundraising numbers at press time, but he said the day was a success despite slightly lower participation compared to last year. “It went very well. It wasn’t so bad for golfing, we didn’t get rained on and that was the main thing,” Doucette said. He said he thinks numbers were down because there are so many charitable golf tournaments vying for participants across the city. This tournament’s draw was that it took place at a private club – meaning it was non-members’ only opportunity to play the course.

EMC news – If you think you missed your chance to decorate Metcalfe’s bridge with an original mural, think again. The Metcalfe Community Association has pushed back the submission deadline for their mural project to dress up the “boring concrete wall” along the bridge on Victoria Street. Originally artists had until June 8 to submit their drawing. Now, artists can work on their masterpieces until June 29. The designs will be voted on during the Metcalfe farmer’s market on Saturday, July 14. The small community association came up with the idea earlier this spring, in an effort to beautify the village and highlight some of its storied history. To qualify in the contest, the designs must incorporate some aspects of the village’s history, since the community has been active south of Ottawa for more than 170 years. “It’s nice to reinforce the history.

With longer days on the farm at this time of year, Mother was able to make use of a few extra hours in the evening when she didn’t have to depend on the coal oil lamp for lighting. Although she still spent time each night on her diaries at the kitchen table, she usually was able to find time to pull out the old pedal Singer sewing machine and often worked long into the night. Of course, when it finally got too dark to see from the light of the window, she would have to move the lamp from the kitchen table to the window sill, under which sat the old sewing machine that was in the house when she moved there. Father had no idea how long it had been there under the window, but he remembered his own mother making shirts and mending overalls on the very machine Mother was putting to use decades later. It was this time of year that flour and sugar bags took on a whole new and different life. Mother would have been saving them since the winter before, so that she had a good supply when she got down to making them into everything from blouses for Audrey and me, aprons, tea towels, pillowcases, and even sheets. Some she was able to buy for a few pennies at the gristmill in Renfrew and the rest came from bags of flour and sugar we bought at Briscoe’s General Store. It would take many washings and bleachings with Javel water to try to rid the bags of their printing. With some, it was impossible. Pride of the Valley, Red Rose and other company logos were there forever, and it wasn’t unusual for me to go off to school in bloomers that
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories still showed Pride of the Valley firmly printed across the seat. But then, I wasn’t the only one at Northcote School who wore flour bag underwear, so there was no embarrassment for any of us girls who’s Mother had put the bags to good use. If the Javel water didn’t totally remove the printing, which was always in bright red or a vivid blue, Mother would choose a bright warm and sunny day and spread out the bags over the grass in the yard, hopeful to fade the printing further. She was only marginally successful. On those bags, the printing was there to stay. On the summer evenings that Mother tackled the job of turning the bags into something useful, we five children would go to bed upstairs as usual, knowing that Mother’s job would go on long into the night at the Singer sewing machine We weren’t spared our nightly prayers around her knee, however. They were as important as our final trip out to the outhouse before climbing the stairs. I would have trouble falling asleep those nights. Not because I found the noise of the machine irksome, but because I didn’t want to miss a moment of the sound of it. I could picture in my mind, Mother hunched over the Singer, feeding the flour bags under the foot lever that
steered the needle. I could picture her slippered feet working the foot pedal, with the rubber cord that turned the sewing machine into something other than a piece of furniture that held potted geraniums when not in use. How I wished I could be downstairs in the kitchen, sitting beside her, watching her work her miracles with the flour bags. I knew when I came downstairs in the morning, there would be perhaps a new blouse made wearable with added red rick-rack braid around the collar and perhaps bright buttons down the front. Or there would be a stack of fresh tea towels, waiting for my sister Audrey’s deft hand at embroidering the ends with teacups or flowers. The biggest and the best of the bags would be saved for sheets. It would be years before I knew sheets came in one piece. Ours were made of four flour bags, sewn together, with seams going up the centre and from side-to-side. And always there would be new and fresh pinny aprons and of course, one or two pairs of new bloomers. Eventually sleep would overcome me. And I would doze off to the steady clickclack, click clack of the old Singer sewing machine, playing its steady tune downstairs in the kitchen.

Funding disparities in the classroom The first of a three-part series looks at the inequities in educational opportunities throughout Ontario By Kristen Calis, Jessica Cunha and Rosie-Ann Grover
I
n an affluent neighbourhood in the nation’s capital, a school that the prime minister’s children once attended is flush with cash. The money comes from serious fundraising that brings in $60,000 just in pizza lunches and a well-attended book fair. Rockcliffe Park Public School – a kindergarten to Grade 6 school with a large proportion of children from area embassies – does not disclose the total it brings in through fundraising by its heavily involved parents, students and teachers. But school council minutes show it had more than enough to spend $12,000 on hip-hop and drumming sessions for the arts program, a cricket skills tune-up and new equipment for the gym. Funds from the book fair covered the $5,000 for this year’s author workshop. It brings writers such as Alphabeasts sensation Wallace Edwards, a Governor General’s Award winner, to the school for – as the website puts it – “the extraordinary experience to have the opportunity to converse with an author of a book you have just read and loved!” Five kilometres away, at Queen Mary Street Public School, celebrated author meet-ups just don’t happen. This school, where the majority of students are from homes where English is a second language, is lucky if it raises $500 in a year, says Chris Ellis, who sits on four Ottawa school councils. Any fundraising proceeds that do come in go to the deficit-ridden milk program or to subsidize field trips for families struggling on an average parent income of $29,000, compared with $155,000 at Rockcliffe Park (figures from the Fraser Institute). An Arabic- and Somali-speaking multicultural liaison officer comes to Queen Mary twice a week. “Most of the schools that I’m directly involved with are schools that all struggle to raise funds,” Ellis says. “They’re dealing with communities that don’t have the capacity to raise funds, which is the irony of it; the schools that are most challenged – and you could arguably say have the greatest need for ad-
ditional resources – are the very schools that find it hard to raise funds.” Similar disparities exist across Ontario, where the top 10 per cent of fundraising schools bring in the same amount of money as the bottom 75 per cent combined, according to People for Education’s 2012 report on Ontario’s publicly funded schools. “You can see in that way how big the gap is,” says Annie Kidder, executive director of the parent-led organization. Society, not just parents, needs to be concerned with the gap. “It’s the next generation
How much money do Ontario schools fundraise? Many boards don’t want to say. Metroland surveyed 28 English public and Catholic school boards across Ontario and found more than half were reluctant to provide financial information. Fundraising is a sensitive issue, especially when disclosure of inequities is possible. In Waterloo, a public school board representative declined to provide a breakdown of funds raised, saying it would allow the public to see disparities. In Hamilton’s public board, teachers and principals were given scripts on how to respond to Metroland reporters. Only 11 of the 28 school boards surveyed provided their fundraising total. Fundraising in those boards pumped $26 million into their 788 schools. The re-
Fundraising is defined in this report as an activity in the school community conducted by parents, students and/or staff to raise funds for the benefit of the school and students. of society that’s being educated,” she says. “It will have an impact on everybody.” It means that schools with the ability to raise large sums can significantly enrich their students’ education with high-tech learning aids such as laptops and SMART Boards. But in many schools, fundraising isn’t just for the frills. It’s for classroom basics such as air conditioning and books or breakfast programs. A survey of 28 school boards for this Metroland Special Report turned up fundraising gaps as large as half a million dollars between schools in the same board. It also underscored how firmly money from bake sales, car washes and other fundraising has become entrenched in the education system. Concern is growing about the overuse of fundraising – and the disparities it creates – at a time when public money is tightening under the McGuinty government’s austerity drive. And despite the province’s introduction last month of the first-ever guidelines for fundraising, there still are no formal rules, in the form of province-wide regulations, to govern the vast amounts of money collected.
maining 17 boards provided only a broad figure that includes fundraising but is mixed in with other revenue (see chart). In boards that provided school-by-school breakdowns, there are significant gaps in money raised. In Halton’s public board, half a million dollars separates White Oaks Secondary in Oakville, which raised $511,000 last year, from Acton District High School, which took in just $8,000. There’s a significant difference in the size of the schools (2,100 at White Oaks; 546 in the small community of Acton) but the Acton school took in proportionally less. In York, more than $125,000 separates two elementary schools within the same board. St. Clare Catholic School, located in a wealthy Woodbridge neighbourhood, brought in $131,000. In a less affluent area in Markham, St. Francis Xavier Catholic Elementary School raised just $4,000. At Hamilton’s St. Joseph Catholic elementary school where parent involvement is high, the school took in $192,000. Five kilometres away in the north end of the city, St. Lawrence elementary brought in $9,800. Critics, school associations
and parents say the need to fundraise is the result of inadequate funding, making it necessary for schools to bulk up on private dollars, sometimes even for the basics. “Fundraising is so political. It’s basically a fallout. It’s a symptom of a bigger issue in public education,” says Catherine Fife, president of the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association, which has been calling for a funding model review for a number of years. Education Minister Laurel Broten says Ontario increased education funding to $20.3 billion in the 2010-11 school year, an increase of $6.5 billion – or 45 per cent – since 2003, excluding capital programs. “Fundraising proceeds
should only be used to complement dollars of public investment to the schools and to the education system,” Broten says. “The Ministry of Education funds directly many programs and investments where we seek to ensure we have an equitable education system; our results are demonstrating that.” NDP education critic Peter Tabuns says students attending schools with the ability to fundraise large amounts will likely have better music and art classes, more computers and school trips. “You’ll see a richer educational experience for the children, and for the schools that have no money, things will be tighter,” Tabuns says. “They will have less access to computers, to textbooks,
what we see as integral or important parts of a good, solid education.” Fundraising inequities have been building for more than 20 years, says Kidder, of People for Education. “It’s really important to remember that kind of the fundamental premise of public education is to crassly provide a level playing field for kids or to overcome intergenerational cycles of poverty,” she says. “All children should have a fairly equitable chance for success and if you start to entrench fundraising as a core component of the funding for education, the danger is that you actually increase the inequity rather than narrow it.” To read the full text, visit www.yourottawaregion.com.

City should ban bags to ease trash troubles
O
nly in Toronto you say? Pity. Toronto’s city council set the mayor’s blood to boil last week by voting for a ban on plastic bags. Toronto is by no means the first North American city to say no to plastic bags – Fort McMurray, Alta., San Francisco, Seattle and Los Angeles have all banned plastic bags. The City of Ottawa should consider adding its name to
the list of cities attempting to deal responsibly with their municipal waste. Toronto’s bag ban started out as a debate over an unpopular five-cent fee for every plastic bag charged by retailers. Sound familiar? Mayor Rob Ford managed to convince council to scrap the fee, but was flummoxed, when Coun. David Shiner – a member of the Ford inner circle – proposed an outright ban on plastic bags.
Shiner later said the idea for the bag ban came to him mid-debate, but nevertheless his colleagues on council lined up behind the idea. One of the largest issues on Ottawa council’s plate over the past decade has been what to do about the city’s landfill problem. Councillor after councillor and mayor after mayor tells us the city wants to move to more sustainable forms of managing municipal waste, but then we’re reminded
about the need to find somewhere to store our garbage. If we want to move away from landfills, we have to reduce our environmental footprint and getting rid of non-biodegradable products like plastic bags is a good first step. When it’s tossed into a landfill, plastic bags have the staying power of an Energizer bunny. If we don’t use them, there’s no need to manufacture them and ultimately,
scrap them. If we’re serious about moving away from landfills, wouldn’t eliminating the tons of plastic that end up in our city dumps be a great first, second and third step? The cost? Shoppers will have to bag their groceries in paper (it’s been done before), cardboard boxes and using Green boxes and cloth bags. We’re already being charged a nickel a bag by many retailers for every
plastic bag we use, so maybe we spend that money more wisely on a paper bag instead. Or dare we suggest … keep the nickels in our pockets and carry our groceries home in reuseable bags and boxes? Ottawa council should at least take a look at the idea – not shy away from it over fear of a potential public backlash. Hopefully, after sober discussion and debate, council will decide that saving our environment – and millions in taxes pumped into waste management – is definitely “their bag.”
COLUMN
More sleep, less duty free CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
T
he idea of abolishing duty-free shopping came, as great ideas often do, during sleep. Well, not exactly during sleep. It was at the moment of being awakened from sleep. Precisely, it was during the captain’s booming announcement that woke up certain people who were trying desperately to grab 40 winks while sitting upright in cramped conditions on an international flight. Just when success seemed to be attained and restful dreams arrived, a loud and authoritative voice jolted certain people with the news that attendants would be coming through the cabin offering duty-free bargains. Thanks a lot, captain. And then suddenly came the memory of another international flight when attendants were walking through the cabin hawking their cheap cigarettes, eau de toilette and champagne at 3 a.m., local time, somehow oblivious to the fact that some of the passengers who emplaned at midnight, local time, might need some shut-eye. There is, clearly, something about passengers sleeping that triggers the duty-free mechanism. Understandably, this would get one to thinking, perhaps somewhat emotionally, about the concept of duty-free shopping. Why do we have it anyway? What purpose does it serve? And would abolishing it do any real harm? Duty-free shops were obviously started to give people something to do at airports other than looking for a place to sit that isn’t occupied by that guy over there who has luggage spread over three seats. It’s a long time ago that it started, but some-
body obviously thought that having a place to shop duty-free would give people an incentive to spend money at the airport. Later, it may have been thought that the presence of a dutyfree shop might give people a reason to choose one airport over another. Perhaps it did not occur to anyone that people don’t really choose airports. The main incentive to visit, say, Ottawa airport is that the plane goes from there. Then duty-free stores spread to passenger ships, parts of the world that were not airports, and onto the plane itself, with the unfortunate consequences that we have seen. Whether it is intended or not, the duty-free shop, particularly the one in the airport and the one on the plane, gives preferential treatment to travellers as opposed to those who stay at home. Many things are wrong with this. On the environmental side, those who stay home are doing more for the planet than those who get onto airplanes or drive cars to the nearest border. And what do those non-travellers get for their services to the environment? They get to pay taxes when they buy cognac, perfume and four-foot-long Toblerone bars. That’s another issue: the reverse income redistribution effect, as those of us who haven’t studied economics like to call it. Citizens who can partake of foreign travel are generally wealthier than citizens who cannot. Yet it is they who get to avoid the duty. Of course, they are not the only wealthy people in the world who get tax breaks, but that doesn’t make it right that they can get a deal on a bottle of Clicquot Ponsardin or get a free signature hockey puck with their purchase of Wayne Gretzky Icewine while we mortals are paying HST on a Diet Pepsi and some Cheez Doodles. Another point: Our governments at all levels are struggling with budget deficits. Yet here’s a source of revenue that is cut off from them. Imagine how quickly budgets would be balanced if everybody who bought cognac, tan maximizer and syrup in a jar shaped like a maple leaf had to pay tax on it. It’s all good and that doesn’t even count the part about people sleeping better on airplanes.

Fallen Osgoode soldiers to be remembered Continued from the front
Emma Jackson
Osgoode Village Community Association member Rob Brewster, Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre and volunteer historican Coreen Atkins-Sheldrick gathered at the Osgoode Township cenotaph in Metcalfe to announce plans to restore the memorials and add several forgotten names. a young man he worked for Osgoode Township tinsmith Sid Bishop before enlisting in December, 1915. He was killed on Nov. 26, 1917 and is buried in Belgium. His inclusion is being questioned because his file includes some key disparities: although he was apparently working for the tinsmith at the time of his enlistment, he listed his profession as “cheese maker” and said he was living with his parents in Quebec. • Arthur Ernest Campbell Tierney was born to the Campbell family in Chicago in 1893, but was adopted by the Tierney family in Edwards, where he grew up. He enlisted under the Tierney name in March, 1915. He was sent to Bermuda for basic training before heading to Europe, where he was killed Nov. 18, 1916.

ing fallen soldiers, these from the Second World War. She has less information about these men, and hopes to solidify their presence in Osgoode Township over the summer. The names she is confident should be on the memorial include: • Robert Burns, born in Osgoode Station in 1922. He was killed in 1944. • William Russell Smith, whose family lived in a number of nearby villages including Osgoode. He was killed in 1944. • Russell Alvin Henry Stanley, born in 1923 and a student at Greely Public School and Metcalfe High School. He lived with his grandmother in Metcalfe.

cause of the adoption issue, and also because they weren’t sure Edwards was actually part of Osgoode Township. Atkins-Sheldrick said she’s “not too worried about this one” going through. • Frederick Meldrum was born in Osgoode Township in 1886 near Ormond, but when the township’s lower boundary was straightened his farm became part of Winchester, which is why his inclusion is being questioned. Meldrum enlisted in June, 1915 and was killed in the first battle of the Somme in November, 1916.
R0011448269/0614
• Thomas Henry Poole was born in Vernon in January, 1892 to a farming family. Although he was exempt from the war, he enlisted anyway in June, 1916. He was killed Sept. 7, 1918 in France and is buried there. His name is on an Ormond monument south of Vernon. • Arthur Workman was born in February, 1896 in Vernon. His family moved to Saskatchewan sometime between 1901 and 1911, and Workman enlisted in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. He was exempt as a farmer’s only son but enlisted anyway in November, 1915. He died on April 15, 1917 from wounds from the battle of Vimy. Atkins-Sheldrick figures he was missed on the Osgoode cenotaph because his family had left the area and “there was no one to advocate for him when the cenotaph was put together.” Four other fallen soldiers from the Great War also have ties to the Osgoode area, but are being questioned by staff at Library and Archives Canada. While the final decision to include them rests with the community, Atkins-Sheldrick said she will spend the summer solidifying her paper trail so they can be absolutely sure. • Forrest Knowles was born August 1, 1899 in Osgoode Station, and is buried in Reid’s Mills. He enlisted in January,1917 as a mechanic. Library and Archives is questioning his inclusion because he was not technically killed in action. Rather, he died of tuberculosis in his parents’ Osgoode home in March 1921, after contracting the disease overseas. According to Atkins-Sheldrick, his service file declares the disease was war-related, and his family was issued a Dead Man’s Penny and other memorials for soldiers killed in action. • Wilson Merrifield was born in Eardley, Quebec in April, 1894. As
Several other men do not have such compelling cases, although Atkins-Sheldrick said she will exhaust her various resources to decide whether they should be included. • Leonard Driscoll, born in 1916 with conflicting reports of whether it was in Ottawa or Manotick Station. He was baptized in a church in Enniskerry. He was killed in Calgary during an air force training session. • James MacKay, whose name is included on his parents’ headstone in Spring Hill. He is not buried there, and Atkins-Sheldrick hasn’t been able to find any other connection to the area. • Harry Dwayne Merkley’s name also appears on his parents’ headstone in Spring Hill. So far there is no other connection to the area. • David Taylor’s name appears on a roll of honour from a church in Bishop’s Mills, but Atkins-Sheldrick said she thinks it was included in error because no mention of him appears anywhere, not even in the Canadian books of remembrance listing those killed in action. Atkins-Sheldrick said she doesn’t expect everyone in the community to support the initiative – but that’s the beauty of what these fallen soldiers have given us. “There will be lots of people who think it’s a lot of hubbub over nothing...and that’s what makes our country the country that it is,” she said. Osgoode Village Community Association member Rob Brewster said the association is “very, very excited” to help with the project, and called on all residents, businesses and community groups to support the initiative. “By adding the names of the missing, by doing this endeavour we are proving that we will never forget,” he said.

Gourmet food food, fake ‘beach’ and reading garden to pop up beside canal Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - A gourmet food truck, reading garden, temporary “beach” and more will pop up along the Rideau Canal this summer. It’s part of a new effort by the National Capital Commission to provide more attractions to “animate” the canal, a UNESCO World Heritage site that’s already a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. The NCC sought some innovative ideas to add more interest to the popular outdoor feature and while it isn’t funding the five projects it chose, it’s allowing them to use NCC land to make their ideas come to life. NCC chief executive Marie Lemay applauded the creativity of the 42 proposals the five winners were chosen from, calling their architects “creative entrepreneurs and city builders.”It’s a new idea for the NCC and “a bit of a risk,” Lemay said, but if the projects are successful they could continue for another two years. The initiative launched on June 7 at the Capital Reading Garden, is one of the five winning ideas. It was hatched by Old Ottawa East resident Mary Beth Baker. The garden is located just south of the Corkstown foot-
bridge near the University of Ottawa, on the east side of the canal. It’s a simple concept based on the Bryant Park Reading Room in New York. Baker’s non-profit group, the Capital Community Reading Garden, purchased about a dozen moveable chairs and some reading materials thanks to a $1,000 grant from the Ottawa chapter of the Awesome Foundation. The chairs will be set up and accompanied by a volunteer one weekend per month, July through September. People can stop by to relax in the shade, grab a book, magazine or newspaper or take advantage of the garden’s free Wi-Fi Internet. Although not yet on the horizon, she said other areas in the city, such as the new William Street pedestrian area in the ByWard Market, might make good locations for additional open-air libraries. You can follow the project on Twitter @CapReadingGdn. Thai-inspired delights await at a new gourmet food truck surrounded by patio seating in the shadow of the new Ottawa Convention Centre. Sachin Anand of LeBreton Flats and Jason Victor of Nepean are calling it Pop-Up Patio and hope to feature a rotating menu of south-Asian and Middle-Eastern inspired dishes created in conjunction
with chef Dung Lee, who runs a Thai soup truck at Lisgar and Elgin streets in Centretown. By the end of July, the duo hopes to license the patio and serve alcohol. The Pop-Up Patio will be open Thursday through Sunday until October. Another food offering is more familiar and sure to cool down parched canal-goers: four ice-cream trucks will be stationed along the canal, most likely at the University of Ottawa, near the Laurier Bridge, at Dow’s Lake and perhaps near Pretoria Bridge, said Beverly Vanderschoot, who owns Iceco Ltd. with her husband, in the Trainyards area. The carts will operate on weekends only until midJune, when they will be out every day of the week. One of the ice cream carts will likely be stationed near a makeshift beach on the north side of the Corkstown Bridge, also near the university. Dubbed “Rideau Beach and 8 Locks Flat,” the temporary beach will be modeled after an urban beach created on the shores of the Seine in Paris each summer. It will operate daily from June until October and visitors will have a chance to participate in activities such as yoga, beach chair and umbrella rentals and local food and drink offerings.

Manotick EMC - Thursday, June 14, 2012
Manotick troupe dreaming of the past with Long Island melodrama EMC entertainment – It’s a swashbuckling, freewheeling Rideau Canal adventure you’ll never forget – until you wake up. Playgroup Presents, a burgeoning Manotick theatre troupe, will stage its historical romantic comedy Dream of Silver on June 19, 20 and 21 at the Manotick United Church, just minutes from the musical’s setting at the Long Island Locks. The hour-long one-act play begins with a scene familiar to most boaters on the canal: two teenagers in their drab Parks Canada uniforms, giving a breakdown of the area’s history as they man the Long Island Locks. One employee, Seamus, is lovesick for his coworker Elizabeth, who already has a boyfriend working down at the Manotick Pub. Her friends work there too, dressed as pirates while they serve beer to thirsty patrons during the summer months. Lovelorn and rejected, Seamus falls asleep at the lock over his lunch hour – awakening to gun shots in the 1830s. “The lockmaster is chasing two thieves that have tried to take off with the king’s silver, which is used to pay the workers in the canal,” explained Osgoode resident Brian Kennedy, who wrote and directed the play. The retired English and drama teacher attests that this part of his romantic comedy is actually true. In 1830, Lockmaster Collins was robbed of a barrel of Yankee half silver dollars, which was being used as currency at the time to pay the workers building the canal all the way to Merrickville. Of course, the thieving “river pirates” in 1830 are played by the same teens who play the modern-day pirate waitresses. While the lockmaster is chasing down his silver, Seamus meets the lockmaster’s daughter – also named Elizabeth, and played by the same actress, Greely resident Mychele Lebrun. Only this time, it’s love at first sight.
Emma Jackson
Retired drama teacher Brian Kennedy and his wife Maureen both have minor musical roles in front of the audience in Brian’s new play Dream of Silver, but Brian plays a bigger role as the writer and director. “It’s a little melodramatic maybe, its light entertainment. It’s nothing that requires too much thought,” laughed Kennedy. On top of the historic melodrama, the play also features six Celtic tunes, four of which have been commandeered with new lyrics to suit the plot. A live band will lead the music, with Kennedy joining as one of two fiddlers, his wife Maureen Kennedy playing Irish flute, Roxy McCarthy on piano, and several other local musicians. A group of young step dancers will also perform during the production. Five actors will fill all the roles of the play, with modern-day characters showing up in similar roles in Seamus’s historical dream. Twenty-year-old Tim Robillard plays Seamus, and said he’s looking forward to stretching his vocals and taking the lead in only the second performance of his acting career.
He first took the stage at the end of March as Rolf, the also lovelorn Nazi youth in the Greely Players’ production of Sound of Music. He said Seamus is a similar character, minus the Nazi beliefs. “The character of Seamus is kind of the same, he’s goofy and all over the place and in love with this girl,” he said. Robillard got involved with Greely Players because his younger brother has been performing with them “forever” and Robillard always wanted to act. “I was into sports more in high school,” he said. Since he took a year off school this year, it was high time to try out the stage. His brother and mother are also helping out with the play. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. each night. Tickets are available at Manotick Office Pro or at the door. Proceeds will go towards the Raise the Roof campaign to replace the Watson’s Mill roof.

Martin Petersons speaks to WISE director Elsy David and Greely Community Association member Tamatha Trenholm about safety issues in the Shadow Ridge area. He said the fence around the soccer field parking lot at Andy Shields Park could trap someone in the lot because the opening to come in and out of the park is so narrow.
Greely safety audit completed Report to identify solutions for parks and paths Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
EMC news – A group of Greely residents has wrapped up the first phase of an audit that will hopefully make Greely’s parks, paths and streets safer for everyone. Back in February, the Greely Community Association commissioned WISE (Women’s Initiatives for Safer Environments) to conduct a series of walk-abouts in the village to identify safety issues, and then write a report outlining solutions for the community. Residents were asked to suggest problem areas and on
May 31, June 5 and June 11 three walking tours covered those areas and more. Now WISE will put together a report that will be sent to landowners, politicians and government bodies affected by the proposed changes. The walk-abouts covered parks, paths and intersections in central Greely, Shadow Ridge and Greely west. On June 5, Shadow Ridge resident Martin Petersons cycled alongside WISE executive director Elsy David, who was taking copious notes, and Tamatha Trenholm who organized the audit. He said his

oldest bugaboo with the area is the fenced-in parking lot near the soccer fields at Andy Shields Park. A very small opening in the fence is meant to stop snowmobiles, dirt bikes and other motorized vehicles from entering the park, but since the park is open on all other sides, Petersons said all it does is stop cyclists, parents with strollers and pedestrians from getting onto the grass. Meanwhile, the park entrance near the community centre is wide open. “You could get a Hummer onto the field from over here,” Petersons said. He said it’s dangerous in the winter, when snowmobiles illegally rip across the field from the baseball diamonds toward the community centre. If there was a paved, ploughed path, however, the snowmobilers might stop and think about what they’re doing, he said. “It would mean snowmobiles would have to slow down and be aware.” The small group also looked at safety issues along the path connecting Andy Shields Park to Shields Drive, which is winding, features a number of blind corners and has zero lighting. They discussed the need for at least some lighting to make the path safer, particularly for women, at night. “You don’t have to make every path perfectly safe, but maybe some of the prime routes can be focused on,” Petersons said, noting that residents don’t necessarily want the village lit up completely. Paths to Andy Shields Park and the community centre have become busy routes during the day ever since the library made its new home there. The full safety audit report will take about a month to complete.

Try your hand at making Bon Iver headlines cumin-flavoured burgers Ottawa Folk Festival Homemade patties add a bit of spice to these barbecue treats
CUMIN & ONION BURGERS
• 454 grams lean ground beef
Eddie.rwema@metroland.com
PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff • 1 tbsp. olive or vegetable oil • 1/3 cup finely minced onion • 1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs • 1 egg • 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce • 1/4 tsp. cumin seed • 1/4 tsp. salt In a small frying pan, cook the onion in the oil until softened. In a large mixing bowl, combine the onion with the meat and remaining ingredients. Lightly mix the ingredients together with either a rubber spatula or with your hands. The mixture will be messy so wear latex gloves if you’re using your hands. Shape the mixture into four patties about two centimetres thick. Handle the meat gently, and don’t press down on it too hard.
This helps to keep the mixture moist. Cook the hamburgers over high heat on a barbecue grill or frying pan for one to two minutes per side. Move the burgers to an area of medium heat on your barbecue, or lower the frying pan temperature to medium. Lower the barbecue lid or place a lid on the frying pan, and cook the hamburgers for five to six minutes on one side. Don’t press them down with a spatula as this will squeeze out more moisture. Turn the patties over, and cook, covered, for another five to six minutes. When done, the internal temperature of the hamburger patties should read 160 F (71 C) on a meat thermometer. Serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings. Makes four hamburgers.
EMC entertainment – Grammy-winner Bon Iver is the headline act for this year’s Ottawa Folk Festival. The festival will return to Hog’s Back Park and run from Sept. 6 to 10, a month later than usual, and an extra day has been tacked on to the five-day event. “We made a decision to go to September because of the availability of artists,” said folk festival artistic director Mark Monahan. “We think in terms of timing, it really depends on the artist who wants to come.” Part of the reason why the festival was extended by a day was to accommodate Bon Iver who Monahan said will help raise the profile of the festival. “There is a huge fan base for him and he has never played in Ottawa before. It will be a huge night and will draw a lot of attention to the rest of the line-up as well,” said Monahan. Bon Iver is an American folk band founded in 2007 by indie-folk singer-songwriter Justin Vernon. The earliest the band wanted to play was Monday, Sept. 10. Monahan said he expects a repeat of last year’s increase in attendance, powered by an all-star line-up.
Eddie Rwema
Folk Festival artistic director Mark Monahan announced on June 6 that Grammy winner Bon Iver will be among the main attractions for this year’s lineup at the Ottawa Folk Festival. Some of the other big names include Kathleen Edwards, American roots-rocker Ben Harper, Newfoundland folkrockers Great Big Sea, Dan Mangan, and Matthew Good. “Once again we are raising a bar in terms of the talent we are presenting,” said Monahan. Monahan hopes this year’s lineup will draw bigger crowds than before. “Close to 10,000 a day, nearly double what we had in 2010.” Monahan took control of the Folk Festival last year,
doubling the number of musicians participating and moving the event from Britannia Park to Hog’s Back Park. Organizers also announced the return of their interactive and performance workshops. “Patrons with no experience and a song in their heart will get a kick-start in learning a new instrument.” he said. Regularly priced tickets go on sale June 9. See www.ottawafolk.com for a detailed schedule and ticket information.

t’s easy to buy hamburger patties already made up, but if you’d like to have a hamburger with more flavour, you might want to make your own. By adding seasonings to ground beef, along with breadcrumbs and an egg, you can make a hamburger patty with lots of flavour. Whatever seasoning you choose will add its own distinctive taste whether it’s oregano, basil, chili powder, cumin seed, caraway seed, garlic or onion. For the breadcrumbs, you can use dark rye, whole wheat or sourdough bread. This week’s recipe will get you started with a cuminflavoured mixture that makes great tasting hamburgers.

Beef farmer grazing the surface of alternative food Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
EMC news – For Glebe resident Paul Slomp, biking 25 kilometres to Manotick Station every day to tend his herd of cattle is a no-brainer. His unique business model – raising grass-fed beef and selling it in small, freezerfriendly packages - is also an obvious solution to a problem he heard again and again from people across the city: they want to eat grass-fed beef, but they don’t have the storage space or the appetite for an entire cow. Traditionally, buying beef directly from a local farmer requires the customer to take at least a quarter of a cow – a tonne of meat that many families just don’t have room for. In response, the Albertan dairy farmer’s son began renting land off Mitch Owens Road in 2010, raising 14 grass-fed cows to maturity and then delivering 10 and 20 pound frozen packages of beef to paying households. He has expanded his farm, Grazing Days, to 40 cattle this summer, which will be butchered in the fall and delivered every month to 300 households over the winter and spring. His target audience includes families and individuals with limited freezer space, those with only one or two carnivores in the house, and fami-
Out standing in his field: Farmer Paul Slomp visits his grass-fed cattle at his Manotick Station farm. lies who seldom eat meat. “I’ve been doing this for two years, but as far as I know I don’t know any other farmer who does this model anywhere,” Slomp said. There’s certainly room for others to join in. Demand is on the rise for local, organically produced food, he said. “I’ve had an overwhelming response, almost to the point where I find it difficult to keep up,” Slomp explained. While his farm isn’t certified organic (he gets his calves from a non-organic farmer in Vankleek Hill), he follows organic and environmentally friendly practices on his rented pasture land. No pesticides or fertilizers are applied to the grass, and even his electric fences are solar powered.
There are no buildings on the property, and the 18-monthold cows are butchered in the fall so they don’t have to be wintered. Slomp doesn’t own a car, so he bikes to the farm each day to move his red and black Angus cattle from paddock to paddock. Virtually the only carbon comes from delivering the frozen beef during the winter, which Slomp said he tries to do as efficiently as possible. “I’m striving to run this business with as little carbon as I possibly can,” he said. As for the bike ride, that’s when Slomp manages his farm. “I have two hours a day that I’m doing menial things with my legs. So I spend it thinking about the farm, and about Ca-
nadian food policy,” he said. Slomp sits on the executive of the National Farmer’s Union, and said part of his interest in providing a local food source is to protect himself from the risks that come with relying on export markets, where politics, economics and trade policies can have a direct impact on sales and market value. For instance, when mad cow disease hit Canada in the early 2000s, international borders were closed to Canadian beef, and only those farmers with a local clientele were able to stay afloat, he said. The benefits of local food production don’t stop at the farmer, however. Ottawa nutritionist Sarah Green said grass-fed beef is much health-
Emma Jackson
ier than conventional corn-fed beef. It has a better balance of omega six and omega three fatty acids and has much higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which supports good metabolism and can help prevent cancer. Grass-fed beef is also less caloric, and often contains twice as much vitamin and mineral content as commercial beef. Vitamin E levels can be as much as four times higher, she said. Grass-fed beef typically has less traces of antibiotics, she added. “(The cows) are allowed to live as they are meant to. Because of this, there is less disease and consequent need for antibiotic use which is rampant in conventional farming of cattle,” she said in an
email. Of course, such high-quality meat is more costly than at the grocery store. A full share of Grazing Days beef costs $780 for about 80 pounds of beef, delivered in 10-pound packages for eight months. That’s $95 a month or $24 a week. But for those passionate about eating better, cost doesn’t seem to be an issue, as the demand for local, pesticide and chemical-free food takes off in the city. Down the road from Grazing Days, organic Roots and Shoots farm has been growing organic vegetables for several years on land it rents from Slomp’s same landlord, with growing success. Organizations have cropped up across the city promoting the 100-mile diet, including Just Food, an organization that works to increase access to healthy, local food and to support the overall “localization of the food system” in Ottawa. Savour Ottawa is one of Just Food’s partner groups, and provides customers with a network of local, sustainable farmers. Green said it’s only natural for humans to want access to local, healthy food. “I believe that we instinctively gravitate to food that is as close to nature as possible,” she said.

PET OF THE WEEK Chip
Romeo
ID#A141902
ID#A142708
Do you like potato chips, or do you prefer chocolate chips? Maybe this Chip is the right chip for you! He is a six-monthold neutered male, white and black Harrier mix who is already microchipped! He was brought to the shelter as a stray on April 3, and is now ready to find his forever home. Chip likes to be the boss! He needs an experienced owner who will help him understand his role in the pack. He has a lot of potential to excel at obedience or agility with the right training and socialization. Chip gets along well with teens and adults who will be assertive and won’t let him get away with any mischievous behaviour. He’d rather not live with other dogs. Chip’s new forever family will need to enrol him in obedience training and will need to show proof of enrolment before his adoption can be finalized.
Wherefore art thou Romeo? He’s waiting for you at the Ottawa Humane Society! This handsome orange tabby domestic shorthair cat is one year and seven moons old. He is looking for a companion who will shower him with affection and keep him company. He was found wandering about as a stray and was brought to the shelter on April 26, and he’s now looking for his forever home, where he can relax and have a midsummer night’s dream.
For more information on these or other pets currently available for adoption through the Ottawa Humane Society, please contact 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www.ottawahumane.ca.

Professional pet sitters are an excellent alternative to kennelling, especially for cats who often don’t do well out of their home environment. Check the yellow pages for people or businesses offering these services. Better yet, talk to friends and family and find out if they can recommend someone. Always check references and look for someone who is bonded. If you need to leave your pet in a kennel, look for these things: • Are the cages clean and large enough for your pet? • Is water available at all times? • Do the kennel owners insist on all vaccinations? • How often will your pet receive exercise? What kind of exercise? • Is the boarding agreement complete and satisfactory? • Is a veterinarian on call 24 hours? You might check with the doctor’s office to verify. If you are taking your pet with you, make sure to: • Keep complete identification
and rabies tag on your dog or cat at all times. • Carry current health and vaccination certificates. • Book your hotel in advance in a hotel that allows pets. • Do not leave your pet alone in a hotel room without familiar toys and bedding. It is a good idea to bring a pet carrier or even a crate with you. If you are travelling by car: • Make sure your pet is used to travelling in the car. If necessary take him or her on a few short rides before vacation time. • Do not leave your pet in the car during warm weather, even with the window open. Heat kills! • Do not feed your pet for a few hours before a trip. Bring along fresh cool water and a familiar water bowl. • Allow for exercise breaks during long trips. They’re good for both you and your pet. More companion animal tips are available at www.ottawahumane.ca.

Time to make a grooming appointment
0614
Hi there! We are 3 year old brothers...Our names are Kiki and Koko and we are budgies. We have many brothers and sisters that are canaries and zebra finches. Our human mother opens the door of our cage early every morning and we spend the whole day free to do as we want. We love to visit and perch on all the other cages and wish they could come out and play also. When we do get the chance because of an open cage door, we go in and visit although we are never welcomed by the cage’s tenant. We like to fly around the house a bit to get our daily exercise but mostly we just stay on our perch and enjoy all the activities going on in the house. We are very spoiled with the many treats and fresh fruits and vegetables we get every day. We must say life is pretty good here!
Many pets are given up at vacation time because of a perceived inconvenience. Thousands of pets who were left with “pet sitters” are lost each year. A bit of planning can help keep your animal companions happy and safe during your vacation. If you leave your pet behind, take time to explain your pet’s routine to the sitter and include a list of instructions of what to do if the pet is lost. A relative or a friend who knows your pet (or gets to know him or her before you leave) can be with your pet most of the day or keep your pet’s routine similar, is ideal Before you go, leave an adequate supply of food, grooming instructions, exercise routine and your veterinarian’s (including emergency clinic) telephone number. Also inform your microchip provider of the temporary contact numbers. If possible, leave your itinerary and phone numbers. Ensure that your pet is wearing a collar and tag and has had all vaccinations. Phone your sitter a couple of times to check in.

I recently proposed to council the creation of The Order of Ottawa. Kristy Strauss
This award will be an opportunity to celebrate the extraordinary work and commitment of up to 15 distinguished Ottawa residents each year who help to make our city a better place in which to live.
Melina Nobert, mom of 11, was recently at Bayshore Shopping Centre bringing attention to the issue of bed wetting.
Moms ‘pull back the sheets’ on bed wetting
Unlike the Mayor’s City Builder Award, which recognizes one individual, group or organization for their volunteerism at each City Council meeting, The Order of Ottawa will recognize those who have made significant contributions through their professional accomplishments to life in the city, in any of the following areas: • • • • • • • • • •

EMC news - Set up around a mock campfire and a pitched tent, mothers from across the city came out to draw attention to the issue of bed wetting at Bayshore Shopping Centre on June 5. “(Bed wetting) means the kids can’t go to sleepovers

or to camp in the summer, unless you’re really well prepared,” said Melina Nobert, a mother of 11 children who has experienced bed wetting issues with four of her kids. “It’s something that’s just not talked about. But now that I’ve been talking about it with people I know, it affects most families.”
The mothers were set up at the mall to help other parents understand that bed wetting is a medical condition that can be treated, not a sign of weak parenting or the child’s fault. They also want to remove the stigma and get parents talking about what they say is a very common issue. “It’s embarrassing for the

Pamphlets outlining the award will be available at local public library branches, community centres or any Client Service Centre. The nomination process will begin following approval of the report presented to Council and the deadline for submitting nominations will be later this fall. The selection panel will consist of myself or a Deputy Mayor, the City Clerk and Solicitor, the Chief of Police, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ottawa Public Library, the Chief of Protocol and the City Archivist.

We don’t talk about (it), but we should - just knowing we’re not alone in our struggles and that we can talk about it and get some help. Melina Norbert
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20 @ 7PM
I believe that it is important that we take the time to recognize those who do outstanding work in our City. By showing them that their dedication and hard work is being noticed, they are emboldened to continue to push harder and reach greater heights. The group who will be chosen each year will be role models to those inside and outside their chosen field and inspire others to work to make Ottawa a better place in which to live.
child and it’s embarrassing for the family,” said Nobert. “It’s something we don’t talk about, but we should - just knowing we’re not alone in our struggles and that we can talk about it and get some help.”
Nobert said bed wetting can affect children in a number of ways, including interfering with childhood experiences like sleepovers and camps. It can also affect the child’s siblings, Nobert added. “If two kids are invited to a sleepover at the same house, but one wets the bed, the other one can’t go either,” she said. “You can’t play favourites, but then they feel like they’re being punished because of a problem their sibling has.” Nobert said there is help available and it’s important to talk to your family doctor. Dr. Sidney Kardash, an Ottawa pediatrician, said the problem is much more common than people realize. “There are good treatment options for any child between five and six for this problem,” Kardash said. In addition to the stigma attached to bed wetting, Kardash said, there are also misconceptions associated with it. “(Some misconceptions include) there’s something wrong with the kidney or brain,” he said, adding that one of the bigger issues is people just don’t want to talk about it. Kardash said that parents should see a doctor if the bed wetting persists until a child is about five or six years-old. “Help is there, and it should be tried because you’ve got nothing to lose,” he said.

Technical issues delay Presto launch
Harper welcomes Olympians to Canada Olympic House EMC news - Three table tennis players based out of Ottawa will be headed to London to represent Canada at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. Make that, headed back to London. Pierre-Luc Hinse, Eugene Wang and Mo Zhang, all based out of the national training centre in Ottawa, were joined by Andre Ho of Richmond, B.C., as they received their official team jackets from Prime Minister Stephen Harper at the unveiling of Canada Olympic House in London, England Tuesday. “I’m so proud that I’ll be part of this amazing team,” said Hinse, in a press release. “It’s something I’ve been working towards for a long time and today takes it one step closer to being a reality.” “Today is a very special day for us,” added Zhang. “I look forward to joining the rest of our teammates back here in London just a few short months from now.” “This is an unbelievable feeling,” said Wang, who was granted Canadian citizenship last week. “I am so proud to call myself Canadian and to represent Canada at the Olympic Games.” Hinse will be making his first appearance at an Olympic Games. He earned a spot by defeating American Timothy Wang

Prime Minister Harper welcomes Canadian tennis Olympians to the Canada Olympic House in London, England on Tuesday, June 5. in seven games the final of the second men’s qualifying tournament at the North American trials in April. In 2011, Hinse captured the North American and the Canadian championships. Zhang is returning to the
Olympics for the second time in her young career. She is coming off a 2011 season that saw her compete at the Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico and win gold in the singles event. Wang is the No. 1-ranked
table tennis player in North America and will be making his first appearance at an Olympic Games at London 2012. He became a Canadian citizen in June, in time to represent Canada in London.
EMC news - The launch of the Presto smart card system for bus fares is being delayed, possibly until Aug.1, after a series of technical issues were discovered. The new payment system won’t be launched until the issues are resolved and there is no firm date, said transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans. She added, however, that she could “imagine” a revised Presto card rollout date of July 8, with the system going live for all users on Aug. 1, a month later than anticipated. Cards were supposed to be released on June 10 and were to begin being used on July 1, but a two-month pilot run has revealed widespread issues with a new type of card reader installed on several hundred OC Transpo buses as part of a “friends and family” pilot project. While Presto is in use in several cities in southern Ontario including Toronto, Ottawa is the first city to roll out a “new generation” system. People involved in the pilot project have been getting error messages when they tap their cars on the readers to pay their bus fare, while oth-
Order of Ottawa to be annual event laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - A new major award, the Order of Ottawa, was approved by the city’s executive committee last week. The new award would honour “those who have excelled in their field and have made exceptional contributions to life in the city,” a city report states. The creation of the order was approved by the city’s finance and economic development committee, the de facto executive committee, on June 5. The award would honour those who have contributed to city life in the areas of arts and culture, business, community service, education, public service, labour, communications and media, science, sports and entertainment or other fields of endeavour that benefit the residents of Ottawa. Nominees must be current residents of Ottawa who have made a significant contribution through their professional achievements and cannot be elected officials (municipal, provincial or federal) currently in office. The title is intended to “convey the nature of the award as one of importance and prestige based on meritorious service,” according to a city report. The current list of major city awards includes: the key to the city (currently the most prestigious award), which has been in existence since 1937; the City Builder Award, es-
tablished by Watson after the 2010 election; and Freedom of the City, which is awarded to a military unit and has been handed out by the city five times since 2002. The city also has the Brian Kilrea Award for excellence in coaching amateur sports, which was previously bestowed as part of Civic Appreciation Awards. The report recommends

ers are reporting that the cards aren’t recognizing when the user tops them up with more value. Those issues were enough to make the city put the brakes on the Presto launch with a hastily called press conference on June. 7. “Let me be clear, our customers are our priority and the reality is, the Presto product is not ready,” said Deans, who is also the councillor for Gloucester-Southgate Ward. Deans stressed that OC Transpo is simply a customer buying a product from Metrolinx, so the problem lies with Metrolinx, the provincial agency that oversees the Presto project. A software fix was installed on 60 per cent of the several hundred buses on which Presto readers are being tested, said Bruce McCuaig, president and CEO of Metrolinx. The rest of the card readers were set to get the fix overnight on June 7. “We’re confident the Presto system will work in the City of Ottawa and that we’re going to be in full deployment of the system within the next weeks,” McCuaig said. Deans has asked for a status update from Metrolinx in 10 days to see if the fixes are working.

CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR to CONTROL WEIGHT By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.
Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner. Helpful non-fattening eating suggestions in the box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after you control the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance.

I was able to stop overeating and lost my excess weight. Sara John, 40, Kitchener, ON < I was struggling for 15 years with weight gain in spite of diet and exercise. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic.

My 2 hour post meal glucose level is now 92 as well. My new shape raised my self-esteem and gave me immeasurable peace of mind. Karen Maples, 55, Clarksville, TN <Diabetic eliminated high blood sugar levels with #40. My readings were 140 to 200 and are now 99 to 122 range where I want it to be. Before I bought about 10 different supplement that were more expensive and didn’t work as well. I also lost some weight. A great improvement in my health and daily living.

Heartburn Reflux
By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.
The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, pasta, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy # 7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box.
< Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC < Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all #39 family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA< Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL < Suffered with reflux, choking and coughing. After starting Bell #39 I feel great. Amazed about the complete relief. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Katarina Tusa, 63, North York, ON <Was sleeping sitting up to avoid reflux. I thought I had this health problem for life like my other family members. Bell #39 brought quick relief. Can sleep now normally, have more energy, feel great. Bell products are quite different. Virginia Grant, 67, Markham, ON Hundreds more people on the Bell website.
ARTHRITIS
Pain free in 2 weeks!
This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products, physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the American food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let activists confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100’s of testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples:< Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions #1 suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON <My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA<I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON<Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK.<For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC<Others write: Can walk again for hours…Climb stairs without hanging on to railing…First time in 15 years can sleep at night…Rheumatoid pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister. No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee. In other towns try your local health food stores first.
