MacLeod said she and Harder tried to meet with Blackburn on the weekend following the vote, but that she was hesitant to meet.

By Sunday afternoon, Blackburn received a letter from Harder and MacLeod.

The letter said her voting record had compromised projects in the Barrhaven community and asked for her to change her vote. She said she got a call from CTV at almost the same time.

Former school site goes to city committee Crystal Beach residents stuck with no community space Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintoshmetroland.com

EMC news - City staff will present a preferred option for the site of the former St. Thomas school on Leeming Drive to the city’s finance and economic development committee (FEDco) on May 1.

The public was initially presented with three options for the site next to Maki Park after collecting 500 signa-

tures when the school closed in 2009 to retain the space for community use.

The first option was estimated by city staff to cost $4.3 million and would see a levy to area households in the amount of $374 for 10 years. If selected this option would seen the whole building renovated and all the land retained.

The second option was to keep only the gymnasium and a few of the classrooms and sell off the rest of the building.

The cost was estimated at $3.9 million and would come with a levy of $335 for 10 years.

The last option has no levy but retains none of the former school building. It would sell off the land – except for a 1,200-square-metre chunk ad-

jacent to Maki Park. The cost was estimated at $220,000.

Bay Coun. Mark Taylor said the third option was his preference because there wasn’t community support for a levy.

“At least this way we have the land to build a community building or add on to Maki House at a later date,” he said, adding he would work with the city’s parks and recreation

department to get Crystal Beach on the infrastructure priority list for a community building.

But Ruth Tremblay, president of the Crystal BeachLakeview Community Association, said she would have liked to see the city consider the business plan put together by community members.

NEWS

EMC news - A Barrhaven public school trustee is standing her ground after a decision made at an April 11 committee meeting prompted calls for her resignation.

Blackburn voted in favour of a $15-million rebuild of Broadview Public School, rather than the staff recommendation of $4 million in repairs.

Blackburn, who represents Barrhaven/Knoxdale-Merivale, said she was looking at the long term.

“The costs for renovation are only to keep it up to a minimum standard,” she said, adding that it would be likely the board would likely have to pour money into the 85-yearold school for a number of years to keep it running.

But Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod and Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder challenged her decision.

“How does she know how much it would cost to rebuild?” Harder asked, adding there was no study done and no accommodation review.

Harder said that Blackburn made the decision without doing her homework and hoped that the trustee will change her mind in the next two weeks.

Plea to committee last chance to save school site Continued from front

Under their plan, the city would sell off the property in two phases.

The first phase would sell off everything but the gymnasium, giving the community real figures to work with.

“We think we could get more for the land than the estimates. Property values are going up here,” Tremblay said.

The community would agree to a higher density residential development on the land as well to maximize the sale value and get a return on the city’s original $2-million investment in the property.

It was an option that at the public open house on Feb. 21 that Taylor said he would consider.

“But I think we need a more detailed business case,” he said, adding that his job is to present to the council what the community would like to see.

Tremblay said keeping the sliver of land is no guarantee that the community will ever see a community building.

“There isn’t enough room for a community building without compromising the park,” Tremblay said, adding a building would cut out the two rinks flooded every year.

Taylor said there were only two or three people that commented to the city that they would be willing to pay a levy to keep the building.

The community association will try to plead their case at FEDco Tremblay said.

The former St. Thomas school in Crystal Beach won’t become a community centre if the city decides to sell off the property. The local community association wants the city to instead sell some of the property and invest the rest in creating community space.

Walk aims for clean water and sanitation in eastern Africa Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - An Ottawa-based clean water charity is calling on residents to contribute to their latest campaign and help raise money towards providing clean and safe water for people in Africa.

The fifth annual Walk for Water campaign, organized by Aveda Canada, helps local charities like WaterCan host the walking campaign.

Fourteen cities across Canada will be participating in the nationally organized campaign along with the local charity.

The Walk for Water features a six-kilometre walk, with all proceeds raised to benefit WaterCan’s work to provide clean water and sanitation in eastern Africa.

“Ottawa has safe drinking water,” said Lisa Irvine, spokeswoman for Aveda Canada. “We

turn on the tap and know our water is safe. Our walk aims to give safe drinking water to some of the one in 10 people around the world who don’t have clean drinking water.”

The length of the walk is symbolic of the six kilometres women and children in Africa walk on average each day to collect water.

Deborah Chapman from WaterCan said participants in the Ottawa walk will accompanied

by African drumming provided by Dr. Lee’s Percussion.

CLEAN WATER

According to Aveda, more than 780 million people worldwide lack access to clean drinking water, a further 2.5 billion lack access to basic sanitation and more than 4,100 children under the age of five die every day from diarrhea due to dirty water and poor sanitation.

This year’s campaign goal is to raise $475,000 for WaterCan’s clean water projects in the eastern African countries of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Ethiopia.

Since 2006, Aveda Canada has raised $1.2 million and helped improve the lives of 48,000 people in Africa.

The walk begins at 11 a.m. on April 22 at the Cartier Square Drill Hall.

Andrew Haydon Park loses trees to ash borer infestation Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Area residents and wildlife advocates are calling for better public consultation over which trees are to be cut down as part of the city’s emerald ash borer containment plan.

A public information session was held by the city at Ben Franklin Place on April 12, organized by environment committee chair Maria McRae. But Donna DuBreuil, with the Ottawa-Carleton Wildlife Centre, said hundreds of trees had already been cut down in Andrew Haydon Park and she was worried about the dreys or nests that squirrels had set up in trees.

“In spite of the fact that the city has established a wildlife strategy working group, there was no consultation with its members or any wildlife organization before hundreds of trees were taken down,” DuBreuil said, adding that she has been told trees with newborns in them are not being cut down.

But she said she isn’t buying it.

“I haven’t seen any evidence of dreys,” she said of the remaining trees.

DuBreuil added the timing of the cuts during the spring birthing season makes things even more dangerous for wildlife.

Coun. Maria McRae and senior landscape architect Tracey Schwets hold up emerald ash borer examples on display during an open house held on April 12. The insects have been found in Andrew Haydon Park.

Emerald ash borer disease spread from Windsor, Ont., in 2002 and was first observed in Ottawa in the summer of 2008. Its presence poses a serious threat to 25 per cent of

the city’s forest cover located on both public and private properties. The disease has already spread across the city.

A lack of biodiversity in tree planting has led to more

trees being affected, McRae said, showing a photo of a neighbourhood that had severe canopy loss.

“Eventually one in four trees in Ottawa would die

from this,” McRae said.

McRae said there is the possibility of some cost-sharing between residents and the city to inoculate trees with TreeAzin.

“We’re hearing some really good ideas from residents,” she said.

The bugs feed under the bark and it takes about five to 10 years to kill a tree. The city of Oakville Ont., uses TreeAzin at a cost of $250 to $400 per tree.

Ruth Tremblay, president of the Crystal Beach-Lakeview Community Association, said the event wasn’t well attended and the community would have liked to have received a heads-up before trees at Andrew Haydon were cut down.

“I think we are going to lose about 50 per cent of the tree cover,” she said, adding that nearby Lakeview and Winthrop parks will be in danger as well.

The beetle larvae can live two years in a piece of cut wood. The emerald ash borer usually has a one year lifecycle however it has adapted to a two year lifecycle in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., where conditions are not as favourable. The mature borer can fly approximately seven kilometers.

The shredded tree material is taken to the Trail Road landfill and some new tree planting will be done at Andrew Haydon Park. Tremblay said 40 or 50 trees were planted last fall and 50 to 60 will be planted this year.

EMC news - The Ottawa-Carleton Wildlife Centre is asking Ottawa residents to have a little patience this spring when dealing with wild animals on their property.

According to centre director Donna DuBreuil, between April and June the wildlife birthing season is at its peak and wild mothers are looking for safe spaces to nest with their young until there is enough tree cover in the natural areas to protect their babies from predators.

Wild animals such as squirrels, raccoons or skunks will look for attics, chimneys or outdoor staircases to escape the elements and provide shelter for their young.

Residents with this problem, DuBreuil said, should offer the wild mothers a grace period to wean their babies before taking any animal-proofing measures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your insurance; let her have her time to raise them and move them,â&#x20AC;? DuBreuil said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking them out to eat because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re weaned, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the safest time (to animal-proof).â&#x20AC;?

Barricading or blocking up the areas where the animals are nesting could trap babies in inaccessible areas, where they usually die and cause bad smells that require expensive drywall removal to clear.

Smoking animals out of chimneys can cause chimney fires because the babies arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to get out with the mother.

Barrhaven Lions Club Pancake Breakfast I am pleased to announce that the Annual Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser, sponsored by the Barrhaven Lions Club, will be held on April 28, 2012 in the Barrhaven Fire Hall, 1075 Greenbank Road, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00pm. In addition to the breakfast, you will also have the opportunity to tour the facility, have your kids ďŹ ngerprinted, receive free balloons and balloon animals and enjoy fun and entertainment for the entire family. This fundraiser is in support of the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wish Foundation of Canada and I encourage you to participate in this fun event.

Killing an adult animal may create orphaned young animals.

A mother animal could also cause significant property damage trying to get to her babies if she is blocked from them, DuBreuil said.

She reminded residents that trapping animals is also unhelpful, because according to the Ontario Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act the animals can only be moved one kilometre from where they were found.

She encouraged residents with wildlife

problems to consult the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at wildlifeinfo.ca, which offers tips and instructions for dealing with wildlife problems on their property.

She said, most of all, to remember that the mother only plans to stay a short time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of these are animals who seek to have their babies close to you because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a temporary thing,â&#x20AC;? she said.

St. Andrews School Clean Up I am looking forward to joining parents, students and teachers of St. Andrews School for their annual Schoolyard Cleanup on April 28. They will be busy from 9am-noon, cleaning up the school property in conjunction with the HCMCA Neighbourhood Cleanup and the City of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spring Clean the Capital Program. I encourage residents to get involved with their own local clean-up project. If you register your project with the city, you will be entered into a draw to win prizes. More information is online at www.ottawa.ca/clean.

Great Canadian Theatre Company launches 38th season Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - Comedy and laughter will ring in the Great Canadian Theatre Company’s 38th season starting this September.

The 2012-2013 season lineup was announced at the theatre on April 11, where artistic director Lise Ann Johnson spoke about the productions the theatre has in store for audiences this season.

“It’s a season rich with heart and humour,” said Johnson. “(They’re plays about) fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, friendship, people following their dreams and passions.”

The first play of the season, which will start Sept. 11, is The Secret Mask a play about an estranged son and father reconnecting after the father suffers a stroke. The production was written by Winnipeg-based Rick Chafe, who said the play is semi-autobiographical.

Chafe’s own father suffered a stroke in 2003, so the writer based the play on this experience.

“Rick is a really skilful comic writer who takes serious subject matter and makes it warm and humourous,” Johnson said.

The second play is Fly Me to the Moon, which runs from Oct. 30 to Nov. 18. It’s a production about two caregivers

Actors perform excerpts of the Great Canadian Theatre Company’s lineup for the 2012/13 season. looking after an elderly man who dies of natural causes.

Created by Belfast’s Marie Jones, it’s the Canadian premiere of the show which is described as a black comedy.

“This is one of those pieces that made me laugh out loud,”

said Johnson, adding that the nurses face a moral conundrum when their dead patient’s pension cheque comes in the same day.

Jones, who connected with the event via Skype from Northern Ireland, said that the

production went “brilliantly” in Belfast.

“So many people can recognize these two women, who are thrown into an extraordinary situation,” said Jones.

From Nov. 27 to Dec. 16, the theatre will bring back a

play they featured 14 seasons ago: Number 14 – a comedy about a bus in Vancouver.

“It’s Vancouver’s funniest bus, and it’s fun for the whole family,” said Johnson. “It’s the most enjoyable evening at the theatre I’ve ever experienced.

The performers use slapstick, acrobatics and they create a slice of urban life.”

Johnson said the theatre had great success last holiday season when it featured A Fool’s Tale.

“We thought it was a perfect show to put in a holiday spot,” Johnson said.

After the holiday season will be Blue Box, which Johnson said returns to the theatre from the Undercurrents Festival.

Written by Carmen Aguirre, the play about an underground revolutionary in Chile who also has a love affair with a Hollywood movie star.

“It’s a fascinating series of interconnected stories,” said Johnson. “She weaves them together and it’s a miraculous story of being followed by secret police to Argentina, to an obsessive love affair with a star in Los Angeles.”

The GCTC’s fifth show will partner with the National Arts Centre English theatre for the production of The Edward Curtis Project, about a Metis reporter who experiences the death of three ab-

original children. It coincides with the story of Edward Curtis, an American photographer who worked in the early 1900s and took more than 40,000 photos of 80 aboriginal tribes.

“It was a massive project, and one that Edward Curtis was dedicated to,” said Johnson. “He felt he was documenting a race that was vanishing.”

The show, written and directed by Marie Clements and runs from April 2 to 21, will also feature a photo exhibit.

“The play and exhibit are both investigative of the false notion of a disappearing race,” Johnson said. “It’s a really moving piece.”

The final show of the 201213 season will be Like Wolves, a story about a couple celebrating their 54th wedding anniversary when the husband, Sam, has a heart attack. While he’s in the hospital getting treated his wife, Rosa, is accompanied by her two daughters who aren’t doing much to help the situation.

“Everyone conspires against (Rosa),” said Johnson. “It’s a charming play by a fantastic playwright that asks questions in a comic way.”

The theatre will also hold its third annual Undercurrents festival between Feb. 5 and 17, with programming to be announced this fall.

From left, Michael Parkin, Jennifer Foster and Margaret Chwialkowska are artists who will be showing their work at the Foyer Gallery in the Nepean Sportsplex from April 18 to May 6 in an exhibition called Spectrum.

Artists offer wide spectrum in upcoming exhibit Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - A group of four artists joining forces to show off a wide variety of their work in an exhibit at Foyer Gallery entitled Spectrum.

“We use a very large range of work and range of colour and form,” said Michael Parkin, president of the Foyer Gallery, located in the Nepean Sportsplex. “There’s a spectrum of work here and in many ways, it represents the spectrum of work artists at the gallery do.”

Parkin is also one of four artists who will show their work at the upcoming exhibit, which he said got started when he and fellow artist Elisabeth Arbuckle teamed up.

“I noticed there were some echoes between what she did and the work I do, so I asked her if she’d be interested in being part of a focus show with me,” Parkin said. Margaret Chwialkowska and Jennifer Foster of Kanata will round out the exhibit, which will

feature paintings and some sculptures.

Chwialkowska said each of the artists have different visual styles, from Parkin’s sculptures to her own landscapes where she said she tries to evoke emotion.

“We’re hoping we have something for everybody,” Chwialkowska said.

Arbuckle said she will be showing acrylics as well as some small sculptures.

“My work generally reflects a variety of topics,” she said.

“I love detail, pattern, colour and diversity however there are motifs that reappear in my work time and again.”

Foster said her and Parkin’s work will also include signs.

Foster will have a sign reading “art is a demonstration that ordinary is extraordinary.” Parkin’s sign will read “there are in life a few moments of absolute perfection.

Pay attention.”

Parkin points to Chwialkowska’s work hanging on her wall that features a dark forest with a shining moon

light.

“Look at this,” he said.

“She’s captured a feeling for what it’s like at a certain time of year, and she’s done it with great beauty and integrity. Pay attention.”

Foster said she doesn’t personally believe art has to make a statement, it’s about appreciating the world around you.

“Look at your everyday world, and recognize what’s around you,” she said.

“Whether it’s appreciating the beauty, the integrity of something ... realize how extraordinary everyday life is.”

Arbuckle said she hopes art-goers find her pieces a bit different, and whimsical.

“I know that I grow and challenge myself with each art work and that I love the stimulus of a show title (like) Spectrum,” she said. “(It) reflects so many differences in each artist’s approach to their muse. I hope that the art will reflect a little light on the viewer about myself.”

Chwialkowska said she

also hopes people attending the exhibit will walk away with a message of appreciating the moment.

“There is a lot of anticipation in our lives. Everyday, we

anticipate something and we rarely think of the good of the moment,” Chwialkowska said.

“This is your opportunity to notice these moments.”

Spectrum will run until

May 6 throughout various hours. From Wednesday to Friday, work will be on display from 3 to 9 p.m. On Saturday and Sunday, people can visit from 2 to 5 p.m.

Schoolyard bullies forget how democracy works

E

lected officials won’t always agree on what’s right, but when they disagree, the public has right to reasonable discourse.

Barrhaven’s elected public school trustee voted on an issue and the local MPP and city councillor have called for her resignation. That suggestion is not only foolish and parochial, but runs counter to something called democracy.

They taught that back in high school but apparently some

people were away that day.

The public school voters of Barrhaven elected Donna Blackburn to represent them and she has done a good job.

MPP Lisa MacLeod and Ottawa Coun. Jan Harder can disagree with Blackburn whenever they like. That too is democracy.

The contentious issue is a school inside the Greenbelt.

The trustees could have decided to renovate Broadview Public School or choose to rebuild.

Blackburn voted for the rebuild. It’s more costly in the short term but offers savings in the long term because the board won’t have to go back and renovate and maintain year after year.

Imagine, a politician thinking in the long term!

Harder and MacLeod believe Blackburn should have voted for the cheaper short term solution. They say that any dollar spent on Broadview means needed expansions of Barrhaven

schools will be delayed.

MacLeod and Harder have since then made threats about Blackburn’s future as a trustee, suggesting they will seek to have her thrown out.

Blackburn gets paid a pittance, suggesting she and all other school trustees serve because they want to do what’s best, not because of political ambitions.

Well paid and regularly in the limelight, Harder and MacLeod believe they can act like bullies and tell Blackburn

what to do. Questioning her concern for constituents crosses a line.

Blackburn was elected to make the right decisions when it comes to spending money so Ottawa’s children – all of them, not just those in Barrhaven – get the best possible education.

It is patently ridiculous to suggest that all spending outside of Barrhaven slights Barrhaven residents.

It begs some questions.

Harder voted for renova-

tions at a Kanata library: couldn’t that money have been used to improve the Barrhaven branch?

And how could MacLeod allow herself to support investment in northern Ontario when that obviously takes away investment that could benefit the people of NepeanCarleton?

And finally, how would they like another elected representative to stand up and question their commitment to local residents?

Sorry? Just buy an ad CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

T

he Toronto Maple Leafs, ever the innovators, have come up with an idea that may be widely imitated, not only in sports but across the entire range of human activity. Obviously, this has nothing to do with anything that happens on the ice.

Rather it relates to the innovative way that Leafs management dealt with the terrible season just concluded. Management, in the person of Larry Tannenbaum, chairman of the board, took out full page ads in Toronto newspapers to publish a letter of apology to fans of the hockey team.

“We have fallen short of everyone’s expectations, and for that we are sorry,” the open letter says. “We take full responsibility for how this team performs on the ice, and we make no excuses. The way this year ended was unacceptable.”

It is a shame that the letter was not published in Ottawa editions, because it would have been fun for Senators fans to read.

The letter goes on in an interesting way, by suggesting that the horrible season was not really anyone’s fault, or certainly not management’s: “Ownership believes in the plan for the Maple Leafs,” the letter says, adding “passion, hard work and accountability will always be the hallmarks of our organization.”

So the plan was good and everybody worked hard and was accountable and passionate.

Somehow it didn’t work out.

“The Toronto Maple Leafs are privileged to have such passionate and loyal fans. We do not take that for granted. Our entire organization

wants nothing more than to deliver a team that makes you proud.”

Better minds than ours can analyze the hockey aspects of all this. What is of interest here is the concept of public apology and its possible future uses.

Might it not, for example, aid Ottawa city council in its city planning efforts to take out the occasional full-page ad to explain why your neighbourhood suddenly looks like hell: “Ottawa city council wants nothing more than to deliver a neighbourhood that makes you proud. We believe in the plan for your neighbourhood. However, the 27-storey building that replaced the corner store falls short of everyone’s expectations, although it exceeds the developer’s.”

The hospitals might drop us a line every once in a while: “The Ottawa Hospital is passionate about providing ample parking for visitors and inpatients, with the exception of on the street and in our parking garage which is always full and very expensive when it is not. We have fallen short of expectations but we believe in our plan and make no excuses and remind you to leave an hour early for appointments just in case.”

You can see how useful this device can be.

As an interesting side-effect, all those full-page ads would do wonders for the ailing newspaper industry. It’s a win-win, really.

And there is also no reason why individuals could not take advantage as well.

“As an individual I am passionate about cleaning up after my dog and I believe in my plan for doing so. However, my dog recently fell short of everyone’s expectations, and for that we, Rover and I, are sorry. The mess in the park was unacceptable, but we are committed to delivering grass that you can walk on.”

But it’s unreasonable to expect an ordinary citizen to take out a full-page ad. Something smaller would do for such offences as not letting you in on the Queensway or crunching your popcorn bag too loudly in the multiplex.

The community just needs to know that you are genuinely sorry, and also passionate.

Federal Barrhaven needs more services government cuts antitobacco funding To the editor,

Cuts undermine efforts to reduce smoking rates, save lives, says Cancer Society EMC news - The Canadian Cancer Society strongly opposes significant funding cuts to Health Canada’s Federal Tobacco Control Strategy (FTCS).

The society and other health groups were informed by the federal government that the FTCS’s budget will be cut by $15 million. This is a cut of more than a third of the strategy’s yearly budget of $43 million.

“We are alarmed and extremely disappointed that the government has made such significant cuts to Health Canada’s highly successful tobacco control strategy,” says Rob Cunningham, senior policy analyst at the Canadian Cancer Society.

“This strategy has been working and these reductions will negatively impact continuing efforts to reduce smoking rates. When considering the devastating toll that smoking takes on Canadians, Health Canada should be doing more to reduce tobacco use, not less.”

Renewed funding for the strategy is crucial as it has been the cornerstone of Canada’s successful battle to reduce tobacco use. The FTCS has helped reduce adult smoking rates from 25 per cent in 1999 to 17 per cent in 2010, while smoking rates among youth aged 15 to 19 have dropped from 28 to 12 per cent over the same period.

Canada can afford the investment required for continued action against tobacco use, especially given that re-

duced cigarette smuggling has resulted in a recent $480 million increase in annual federal tobacco tax revenue.

The $43 million yearly budget for the Federal Tobacco Control Strategy is only 1.4 per cent of the estimated $3 billion in total tobacco taxes collected annually by the federal government. After the funding cuts, less than one per cent of federal tobacco tax revenue will be invested in tobacco control.

“It’s difficult to understand how the federal government can make this severe cut to tobacco control funding when they’re receiving significantly more federal tobacco tax revenue than in the past,” says Cunningham.

“The severity of the cut is unexpected given recent positive measures by the federal government such as banning flavoured cigarettes and little cigars and the introduction of larger health warnings on cigarette packages. Regrettably, the funding cuts will undermine the potential impact of these measures.”

Tobacco use is the number one cause of preventable disease and death in Canada, taking the lives of an estimated 37,000 Canadians every year.

About five million Canadians still smoke and 50 per cent of all long-term regular smokers will die from smoking-related disease. Smoking costs our healthcare system an estimated $4 billion every year in direct care costs.

“The government should do the right thing by continuing to invest in reducing smoking.

Otherwise, Canadians will pay the price in the future with more people dying and increased healthcare costs,” says Cunningham. “It’s crucial that the fight against tobacco use remains strong so smoking rates will continue to drop as fast as possible and more lives will be saved.”

I have been in Barrhaven now for nearly 10 years. It is a lovely place to raise family and is growing like leaps and bounds.

Over the years we have seen a lot of services coming in our area. Tons of new big stores have opened here. But still for many basic services like renewing your car licence plate—an yearly ritual—one has to drive all the way to Merivale, which is the closet service centre.

I don’t know what is stopping the city from opening a simple service centre here in Barhaven. Kanata was blessed with a full service centre and now very close by a new centre is opened in Sittsville.

A simple kiosk inside any big store will also help. One can see the way this area is expanding. With more and more families making Barrhaven their home sweet home, it seems appropriate to have more services to meet their demands.

I sometimes feel Nepean should not have been amalgamated. It was doing

much better on its own. I can see the obvious growth in Kanata and the east end.

We needed a mall like Train Yards here and we do need another Costco here. Our schools are so much overloaded that most of the schools have tons of portables. And the best part is that our homes are priced higher than Kanata or east, so we pay more taxes !

Hope someone is listening.

Environmental efforts come with cost To the editor,

Re: “Pet owners have stake in what’s left behind,” Editorial, April 12.

Our family owns three dogs, a cat and a rabbit. We clean up the backyard once a week to eliminate what the dogs leave behind, scoop up after our dogs when we walk them, clean out two cat litter boxes on a regular basis, and clean the rabbit cage weekly.

Needless to say we have a plethora of animal excrement. And, we live in a home serviced by a well and septic system.

Flushing clumping cat litter down the toilet is not an option for anyone, regardless of where they live. Dumping dog poop down the toilet or directly into the septic system

is not an option either.

After the rabbit cage is cleaned we begin setting it up for the week by placing a layer of newspaper on the bottom of the cage so the next time it is cleaned the paper is rolled up and tossed, together with its contents, into a plastic bag. So, what to do with all this litter?

I propose the following.

The city has a pretty good idea which households have multiple pets based on their pet licensing records, so, let’s target them first.

At present we have blue and black boxes to help residents recycle plastic, cans, paper, etc. Why not create another class of recycling: undesirable pet waste. This waste could be identified by placing into specially-coloured plastic

garbage bags, say red.

These red bags could then be picked up weekly along with other recyclable material and the bags separated to they can be placed somewhere other than inside landfills.

The red bags could not be picked up by trucks that pick up regular garbage otherwise they would still be dumped into a landfill. Hence, the vehicles currently pick up recyclable material would have to be altered or a different vehicle would be required to collect the bags. This would, of course, create additional costs.

Who pays for the bags would also be a point of contention – the city would likely say they don’t want to absorb the costs, to which the residents would likely respond,

“Fine, we’ll just continue putting the waste in green garbage bags, and it will end up with the rest of the ‘stuff’ that goes into landfills.”

Any serious solution to the issue of disposing of animal excrement is going to cost money. Raising environmental issues is fine, however, dealing with these issues costs money. In fact, the article mentions using education as a way to make people aware they should clean up after their pets. Education is certainly not free.

If people are not prepared to pay for solutions to help clean up the environment then the whole subject is not worth discussing.

Nepean Allotment Gardens garden to grow Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Nepean Allotment Gardens (NAGA) on Viewmount Drive have outgrown their home.

The association that manages the gardens announced at their annual general meeting on April 11 that they will expand by taking up the land between the existing gardens and the nearby ďŹ re station.

The complex has about 240 plots, divided between 150 annuals (six by nine metres) and 90 perennials (about ďŹ ve by six metres).

They are all rented out every year.

Association president Mike Cheebo said the proposal to the city to use the land was sent in January. He also applied for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community gardening fund â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is

used for new guardens or to expand existing ones. The gardens received $9,000, which will pay for the soil tests and the infrastructure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be one water tap for every four plots,â&#x20AC;?

Cheebo said.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely the extra space will allow for 15 more plots, something that will help ease the waiting list, which Cheebo said is at 130 names.

WAITING LIST

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think some of the oldest names have been on the waiting list for three years,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He said he expects to hire contractors to start the work this spring and summer with the plots ready to go for the next gardening season.

The allotment garden program was run by the City of

Ottawa up to 1991, when the founders of NAGA made a proposal to the city to take it over and administer its operation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get some support from the city, such as water, plowing, garbage pickup,â&#x20AC;? Chebbo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But most of the maintenance work is done by members and volunteers.â&#x20AC;?

The gardens operate on a shoestring budget of $5,000 per year thanks in large part to the work of the volunteers.

Chebbo said most of the gardeners are repeat customers, but there is some turnover as people move away from Nepean.

NAGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to grow plants and vegetables without using pesticides and herbicides, and to recycle all debris by proper composting. Chebbo said very little garbage is produced weekly.

A Pool Table Or a Natural Remedy For Sleep and Snoring?

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in excellent company if you suďŹ&#x20AC;er from insomnia. Napoleon, Sir Isaac Newton, Winston Churchill and Thomas Edison all tried to count sheep without success. Others, such as Marilyn Monroe, used increasing amounts of prescription sleeping pills, with tragic results.

years to determine what, if any, medical conditions resulted from insomnia. This showed that women who slept for 5 hours had a 39 percent increased risk of heart attack, compared to those who had 8 hours of sleep.

Sleep apnea, in which breathing temporarily stops several times during the night, poses other problems. During these episodes a decreased amount of oxygen reaches the brain triggering increased blood pressure and a more rapid heart rate. If this occurs night after night the risk of heart attack and stroke rises.

Sleep deprivation can also have far-reaching consequences for our environment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s believed to have been a factor in the crash and oil spill by both the Exon Valdez and the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

Insomnia also has an impact on todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s epidemic of diabetes. University of Chicago researchers required a group of young men to sleep just 4 hours a night.

This caused an increase in blood sugar, a decrease in the hormone insulin, and a 40 percent decrease in the rate sugar was removed from the blood.

So how many hours of sleep do we need? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no magic number for everyone. Alexander The Great probably won many battles because he needed little sleep and could â&#x20AC;&#x153;cat napâ&#x20AC;?. But most people require seven to eight hours to function well.

Sleep debt also increases the appetite and food consumption. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s believed that the hormone leptin gives us a good feeling when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had suďŹ&#x192;cient food.

But insomnia decreases the amount of leptin causing a craving for food, particularly carbohydrates.

Researchers believe sleep allows the body to prepare itself for another day. If this doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen due to chronic insomnia, the risk of a number of health problems is increased.

For instance, the Nurses Health Study at The Harvard Medical School followed 70,000 nurses for 10

Studies done at the University of California show that tossing and turning at night also puts the immune system at risk. Researchers found that healthy men, deprived of partial sleep for just one night, have a less eďŹ&#x20AC;ective immune system the following day.

ďŹ ght infections and cancer were compromised.

So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best treatment for insomnia? Napoleon believed he could sleep only if his feet were pointing south. W.C. Fields, the comedian, used to seek sleep in a barberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair, or on a pool table. U.S. President, Theodore Roosevelt, had a shot of cognac in a glass of milk, an improvement over a pool table.

Still others need a warm bath before retiring, a cool room, staying up later or reading a book. And some resort to expensive pressurized masks attached to a machine. These are uncomfortable and cumbersome and many users learn to hate them.

Westfest announces upcoming lineup Steven Page among this summer’s headliners

EMC news - Steven Page, the Hidden Cameras, the Cooper Brothers and Amos the Transparent are among the musical acts set to take the stage at this year’s Westfest, taking place from June 8 to 10.

It’s been nine years since Elaina Martin launched Westboro’s annual music festival and it has quickly grown from modest crowds of tens of thousands to a at least 100,000 people shutting down neighbourhood streets for a weekend in early June.

Westfest’s volunteers, supporters and community leaders gathered at the Clocktower Brew Pub on April 13 to learn more about who’s coming to perform and what events to expect from this year’s festival.

“This is an amazing festival, and a festival that everyone in the town asks about,” said Yasir Naqvi, MPP for Ottawa Centre who, who attended the launch. “It’s family-oriented, free, and it’s going to highlight the best talent across the country.”

Martin said this year’s headliner, Steven Page, former member of The Barenaked Ladies, will take to the main stage on June 9.

“Steven Page’s distinct voice is one that’s instantly recognized,” said Martin. “(His voice) is undeniably fresh. It’s going to be an awesome, awesome night.”

On the opening night June 8, Martin said audiences can enjoy the annual Tam Tam with Dr. Lee. Residents are encouraged to bring drums and join a community drumming circle, which is the festival’s signature kick-off. Other bands performing that night include The Cougar Chick Tribute Band and The Hidden

Cameras.

On June 9, Martin said Westfest Lit is back at Juniper Kitchen and Wine Bar, where festival-goers can listen to story tellers and spoken word, which takes place on the main stage.

In addition to Page’s headline performance, attendees can also enjoy the works of Brock Stonefish, Amos the Transparent and Liam Titcomb.

The Churchill School of Rock will also perform on June 10, which features students and staff of Churchill Alternative School in Westboro, ahead of John Allaire, Riot Police, Peter Joynt and The Cooper Brothers.

Martin also added that the official charity of this year’s Westfest is the Youth Services Bureau.

“The YSB is there to support families, and they’ve empowered tens of thousands of young people to help them secure a better tomorrow,” said Martin.

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson was also at the event and pointed out that Ottawa has the most number of festivals per capita than any city in North America.

He said Westfest contributes to Ottawa’s reputation, which was recently noted in Moneysense magazine as the number one city in Canada to work, live and raise a family.

“It takes culture, a strong economy, volunteers and people who care about their community – and Westfest embodies all of that,” said Watson.

He added that volunteers make festivals like Westfest, and others around the city, possible.

“Volunteers are the heart and soul of any organization,” Watson said.

Carleton University students unveil hybrid car Michelle Nash

power plant an entirely electric design.

During the project, each student was assigned different jobs to help design and build the car.

Lemon said it got really exciting when they began to bring all the different pieces together to create the finished product.

The Formula Hybrid competition is organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers and challenges university students to design and build high performance vehicles.

These hybrid race cars must sufficiently combine the efficiency of electric and gasoline power.

To meet the competition standards, each student was required to work on a number of different engineering aspects of the race car.

Starting with a simple frame at the beginning of the school year, the students enlisted the help of architectural students to design the aerodynamic body.

Carleton president Roseann O’Reilly Runte had a chance to try out the new race car at the unveiling. She noted all the long hours and dedication the students had put into the project.

“This is a proud moment for Carleton,” O’Reilly Runte said.

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Mechanical and aerospace engineering students from Carleton University are preparing to participate for the first time in an international hybrid car race competition in New Hampshire.

Carleton’s formula hybrid project has existed since 2006, offered fourth-year engineering students the opportunity to design and build a race car, but this year is the first time the Ravens Racing hybrid will compete at the Formula Hybrid International Competition at New Hampshire Motor Speedway from April 20 to May 3.

In anticipation of the competition, project members took the opportunity to unveil the car to the public on April 11.

“I am really proud of all of us,” said Candace Lemon, student project manager “To watch how well all the parts and groups came together is really great.”

Developing the project into a fully-functioning race car involved securing funding of almost $20,000 and building a hybrid gas-electric engine from the ground up.

“The biggest obstacle was getting the electric engines to work,” said Lemon.

Carleton engineering students unveiled their Ravens Racing hybrid car on April 10. The duo-engine race car will compete for the first time in an international hybrid competition at the end of this month.

The lithium powered electric engines can run simultaneously or indepen-

dently of the internal combustion side, depending on what type of turn their car

will be making at the competition. Lemon said this is to maximize the vehicle’s

potential.

The team’s goal is to eventually make the car’s

Campbell family to host Bands for Breath donor drive Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland. com

As Hélène Campbell recovers from her double-lung transplant, family and friends are preparing a fundraiser event and organ donor driver at Greenfields Pub on April 22.

The plucky Barrhaven resident has become well known for her campaign to raise awareness about the need for organ donors, even going so far as to tweet to Justin Beiber and appear on the Ellen show.

Campbell had the surgery on April 6 at the Toronto General Hospital after being diagnosed with a degenerative lung disease in July. By October her lung function had reduced to 24 per cent and walking up

stairs or having lunch with friends became difficult.

According to the blog on her website www.alungstory. ca her breathing tube was removed on April 14. Her quote of the day was, “I am so happy I can breathe.”

The Bands for Breath Hélène Campbell benefit and organ donor drive will start at 2 p.m. on April 22. It will be hosted by Woody from Chez 106 and feature eight local bands including Three Times Lucky.

Door prizes include autographed Ottawa Senators merchandise an, a three-month membership at The Athletic Club and gift cards for WalMart and Canadian Tire.

Ottawa officials reject suggested safe injection site Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor and police chief have restated their stance against safe injection sites after a study was released calling for the creation of two such sites in Ottawa.

The Toronto and Ottawa Supervised Consumption Study was released by researchers at St. Michaels Hospital and the University of Toronto on Wednesday, April 11 and called for two supervised injection facilities in Ottawa and three in Toronto.

Following in his predecessor Vern Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footsteps, Police Chief Charles Bordeleau said the report â&#x20AC;&#x153;doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change our positionâ&#x20AC;? and that the police service would rather see more funding for rehabilitation programs in the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need as a community to focus on providing supports that are needed for addicts in our community,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the devastation that the impact of drugs can have on a community and people.

So our focus as a community should be providing those supports to addicts.â&#x20AC;?

Mayor Jim Watson agreed, stating Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next step should be to build a new, permanent residential treatment centre for addicts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have limited resources,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough money to house more

than 12 people in the English treatment centre and we know there is a greater need. So until those people get properly treated, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to support a safe injection site.â&#x20AC;?

Bordeleau said the police service has significant public safety concerns with safe injection sites like the controversial InSite in Vancouver, where addicts can bring their drugs to a medically supervised location to shoot up with reduced risk of overdosing and disease.

He said the fact that addicts have to buy the drugs illegally before going to the site supports the subversive network of drug traffickers and organized crime groups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a public safety perspective (it) brings about an element of criminality where drug addicts resort to having to commit crimes in order to feed their drug habit, in order to go to these safe injection sites,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Safe injection sites typically supply clean equipment for the drug user and have medical staff on hand to assess a clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall health and to intervene in the case of an overdose. Sites also typically offer proper needle disposal services, access to social services, drug use education, counselling, basic first aid and referrals to rehabilitation, detoxification and drug replacement programs.

Ottawa police chief Charles Bordeleau held a press conference on Wednesday, April 11 to discuss a study calling for two safe injection sites in Ottawa.

The study found Toronto and Ottawa both have high instances of injected drug use, with cocaine and opiates the

cent, and Hepititis C prevalence is 60 per cent, according to the study.

It recommended that the two sites be located where drug use is occurring frequently. Although it said specific neighbourhoods in Ottawa are experiencing drug problems, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t identify which ones.

Bordeleau said the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police service isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to change its stance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as the criminal element is there, we will have issues around the current form of safe injection sites,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;not opposedâ&#x20AC;? to other models where addicts could inject non-illegal substances such as methadone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as addicts are forced to commit crimes to supply themselves with the drugs and the money to buy their drugs, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a public safety concern.â&#x20AC;?

Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Minister of Health and Long Term Care Deb Matthews also issued a statement in response to the report, thanking the researchers but telling voters not to expect supervised sites any time soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are always prepared to listen to good advice, and we make our decisions based on evidence,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting that experts are still â&#x20AC;&#x153;dividedâ&#x20AC;? on the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have no plans to pursue supervised sites at this time.â&#x20AC;?

Recognizing volunteers at Ontario’s Children’s Aid Societies National Volunteer Week time to support children, youth and families involved with child welfare EMC news - During National Volunteer Week, April 15 to 21, the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies (OACAS) and Ontario’s Children’s Aid Societies recognize the crucial role played by those community members, parents, teachers and retirees who give their time to support vulnerable children, youth, and their families.

“Volunteers at Ontario’s child welfare agencies make an enormous difference to the lives of children and youth by being there for them and for their families,” said OACAS executive director Mary Ballantyne.

“More than 5,600 volunteers help by being there for children and youth as tutors or special friends; by helping families by being a parent

aide or support during visits; by driving children and youth to activities, appointments and visits; and by supporting the work of their local Children’s Aid by being an involved community member or board member.”

As the OACAS honours and celebrates 100 years of service to child welfare in Ontario, the role of volunteers in history and today is also recognized.

Up until the 1920s, much of the work of Children’s Aid Societies was carried out by volunteers.

“Volunteers have always played an integral role in caring for and supporting children, youth and families, and we really appreciate their contributions,” added Ballantyne.

Today, volunteers make valuable contributions which allow agencies to provide enriched services to children, youth and their families.

The stats show: • 5,608 volunteers gave their time to agencies.

• More than 25 million kilometres were driven by volunteers.

• Volunteers gave more than 600,000 hours of their

time.

Volunteers have a wide range of skills and fill roles in various capacities at agencies.

Some volunteers offer skills that can be used in working directly with children and youth, others offer their expertise to provide leadership and guidance to their local Children’s Aid Society as members of the board of directors, working with the administrators of the agency. If you are interested in supporting the work of your local Children’s Aid, contact them to learn more or for more information, visit www.useyourvoice.ca ABOUT THE SOCIETIES

Since 1912, OACAS has represented Children’s Aid Societies in Ontario and provided service in the areas of government relations, communications, information management, education and training to advocate for the protection and well-being of children. In 2012, OACAS is honouring, reflecting upon, and celebrating 100 years of service to child welfare in Ontario.

Diabetes association thanks volunteers Dedicated to the fight against diabetes EMC news - The Canadian Diabetes Association is celebrating its volunteers who generously donate their time and energy in supporting us to lead the fight against diabe-

tes by helping people with diabetes live healthy lives while we work to find a cure.

“I became a volunteer because I’ve lost many family members to diabetes, which also puts me at risk.

I’ve been trained to educate the public about the seriousness of the disease and share this information through health fairs as a speaker.

“I’ve met many like-minded people with a passion for a common purpose—giving back to the community in a meaningful way,” says Gillian Musaib-Ali, volunteer

for the Canadian Diabetes Association.

The thanks come during National Volunteer Week, April 15 to 21.

Ross Hirning was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 1994 and has been volunteering with the association since 2004.

“Everyone should volunteer for a cause or an organization that is important to them if they can,” says Hirning.

“I believe that informing people about diabetes is critical to the future good health of Canadians and

the best way for me to do that is by volunteering with the Canadian Diabetes Association.”

COMMITMENT

Thanks to the significant effort and commitment of our volunteers, last year the Canadian Diabetes Association was able to provide more than 1,870 educational events reaching over 280,000 people across the country.

“We are grateful for the time and expertise our volunteers share

with us and the communities they serve,” says Michael Cloutier, president and CEO of the Canadian Diabetes Association. “Everything we do relies on their work and they make a significant impact in the lives of the more than nine million Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes.”

Gymnasts compete for shot at provincials Nepean rhythmic gymnast, Haley Miller, 8, won four silver medals at the rhythmic gymnastics first qualifying meet at Seneca College in Toronto on March 31 and April 1. Miller, who started competing with the Kanata Rhythmic Gymnastics Club last year after first trying dance and artistic gymnastics won silver medals for her free routine and her ball routine to claim the overall silver medal, and then won another silver medal along with her team mate Erika Lin in the novice ball duo, a new event for both gymnasts.

In previous competitions this season, Miller won gold overall and gold for her ball duo at the Kanata Cup competition and won silver at the Rythmik Quebec competition in Montreal in January. Her next competition will be the second qualifying meet in May. Gymnasts finishing in the top 60 per cent of their category will then proceed to the Ontario championships in June.

Fiddleheads must be cooked: Health Canada Cases of temporary illness have been reported EMC news - Health Canada is reminding Canadians of the importance of properly cooking fresh fiddleheads before eating them.

Fiddleheads are the curled, edible shoots of the ostrich fern. They are

collected along the banks of rivers and streams and sold as a seasonal vegetable at farmers markets, roadside stands and in some grocery stores.

There have been cases of temporary illness in Canada and the United States associated with eating raw or undercooked fiddleheads. Studies to date have not determined the cause of these illnesses.

Fiddleheads should never be eaten raw. There have been no reported cases of illness associated with eating fully cooked fiddleheads.

Prior to cooking, Health Canada recommends removing as much of the brown husk as possible from the fiddleheads.

Fresh fiddleheads should then be washed in several changes of clean cold water. Cook them in boiling water for 15 minutes or steam them for 10 to 12 minutes. The water used for boiling or steaming fiddleheads should be discarded.

Fiddleheads should also be boiled or steamed prior to sautéing, frying or baking. Due to their short growing season, many people freeze fiddle-

heads. Be sure to use the same cooking methods outlined above when preparing fiddleheads that have been frozen.

Preserving fiddleheads with a pressure canner is not recommended, as safe process times have not been established for home-preserved fiddleheads.

Symptoms of illness usually begin 30 minutes to 12 hours after eating raw or undercooked fiddleheads and may include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and headaches. Illness generally lasts

less than 24 hours but can result in dehydration, particularly among the elderly and infants.

Anyone experiencing the above symptoms after consuming fiddleheads should seek the advice of a health care professional and contact their local public health unit.

It is estimated that there are approximately 11 million cases of food-related illnesses in Canada every year. Many of these cases could be prevented by following proper food handling and preparation techniques.

Transit contract signals ‘new era of co-operation’ Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

DIANE DEANS

JIM WATSON

south in the winter of 200809, when OC Transpo buses stopped running during a 53day transit strike.

“It’s clear that in the years following that strike, there was some residual anger and some residual mistrust,” White said.

The new council was elected in 2010 and created a transit commission, which was followed by a “watershed moment” of the city and the ATU coming to an agreement on a one-year contract extension.

That contract extension lasted until March 30, 2012, and the new tentative agreement was reached just before that extension was up – the first time in 23 years that was accomplished.

“That fact alone speaks to the drive on both bargaining teams to find a win-win position.”

A new era of co-operation between the City of Ottawa and its transit union was heralded by city officials on April 11, as the union and members of council both voted in support of a new four-year deal.

EMC news - A new era of co-operation between the City of Ottawa and its transit union was heralded by city officials on April 11, as the union and members of council both voted in support of a new four-year deal.

About 80 per cent of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 279 members voted 85 per cent in favour of the deal on April 10 and 11, followed by a unanimous city council vote on April 11.

The contract will see transit workers’ wages go up a total of 8.25 per cent over the term of the contract, along with other provisions that made the union happy, including creating a staff working group to address scheduling issues, bringing work back to the Merivale garage and relaxing uniform requirements.

The deal will save the city money in benefit payouts, Mayor Jim Watson said, but it will end up costing the city a total of $7.5 million over the four years. Most of that cost comes from the wage increases, noted transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans.

Still, it’s a good deal for taxpayers, the mayor said.

“This will ensure reliable, affordable and sustainable transit service for the next four years,” Watson said.

“This signals a new era of co-operation,” Deans said.

“For the next four years, riders can rest assured there will be no interruption of transit service.”

But even more important, this contract sets the stage for a new, hands-on collaborative approach to labour negotiations. Watson also applauded new OC Transpo general manager John Manconi for bringing “a new sense of optimism” to the bargaining table.

Councillors unanimously approved the contract, but not before hearing a lengthy presentation from city lawyer David White who gave council a lengthy history of the city’s sour relationship with the transit union.

That relationship went

Parents learn how to raise resilient kids Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC community - Parents got a crash course on how to help their “tween” children through what is both an exciting and challenging period of their lives during a session at the Adult High School on April 16.

The session, led by Dr. Phil Ritchie, a clinical psychologist at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, focused on helping nine- to 13-year-old children stay resilient and confident in their decisions.

“The tween years are a terrific period of life,” said Ritchie during his presentation, which was a partnership between CHEO and the Ottawa Carleton District School Board.

The free information session was aimed at parents of tweens and sought to teach them how to maintain positive relationships with their child as they enter their teenage years.

Ritchie went over what parents should expect from their child.

“They start to understand relationships and you see your kids start to connect the dots,”

he said. “Their fears are no longer imaginary. It was easier when it was monsters. Now it’s more sophisticated and it doesn’t work that way anymore.”

Ritchie said children during these years are also beginning to get exposed to romantic relationships for the first time and their friends are beginning to have a large influence on their decisions.

One of the themes of his talk was resiliency, something he defined as a child’s “ability to bounce back.” He discussed strategies parents can use to help their children become resilient.

“Relationships are the single most important factor,” Ritchie said. “When people go through trauma and develop productive lives, they talk about that one person who had their back.”

While children could look up to siblings or extended family, he said parents ideally want to be the role model they set for their children Ritchie also outlined the importance of “emotional regulation” and how it’s important for children to be aware of their emotions and how to

deal with angry emotions in a healthy way.

“Humour can be terrifically helpful,” Ritchie said. “Kids will make mistakes, but it’s easier to bounce back.”

Ritchie also discussed how “competence” is important in building resiliency in children, and teaching your children about how to deal with failure and correct it.

“Resilient people have a greater sense of control in their lives,” he said. “If your child gets cut from a team, it’s much healthier for them to say that I didn’t have the best tryout, but I can correct it, instead of saying the coach had it in for me.”

Ritchie also stressed the importance of parents allowing their children to help solve problem situations.

He said parents can throw out different solutions and suggestions that their child can choose from.

“It gives them the ability to resolve conflict, and teaches them not to give into pressure,” Ritchie said.

Workshops and prizes are part of Bike to Work Month in Ottawa, which arrives in May. The Bike to Work website will offer riders an opportunity to track their trips online. videos on cycling safety.

The videos demonstrate essential habits and skills for navigating intersections, as well as how to interact with the City of Ottawa’s upcoming new road symbols, designed to help drivers and cyclists share the road.

Cycling to work provides many health and environmental benefits. It also increases the productivity of employees, and reduces rates of sickness-related absences. It is a key way to reduce our community’s emissions of global-warming greenhouse gases.

If you live in Kanata, Barrhaven, or Orleans, EnviroCentre brings an inclusive message by offering free presentations open to the public.

“Many Ottawa residents live and work outside the Greenbelt, so we’re trying to reach people in their neighbourhoods and

help them become commuter cyclists”, says Jessica Wells, EnviroCentre’s programs co-ordinator for sustainable transportation. “Cycling is a convenient, fun, healthy and cost-effective way to travel.

Small steps can have a significant impact to reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions, road congestion, plus noise and air pollution.”

To participate in Bike to Work Month, visit www.biketoworkottawa.com. When you pledge to bike during May, you’ll be eligible to win great prizes.

EnviroCentre is a non-profit organization that works to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Ottawa and eastern Ontario by delivering energy-efficiency programs and services. Since 2010, Bike to Work Month has been co-ordinated by EnviroCentre, in collaboration with the City of Ottawa and sponsors.

May is Bike to Work Month in Ottawa, and EnviroCentre is collaborating with workplaces across the region to encourage people to cycle to work. EnviroCentre is offering an updated information kit, four kinds of workshops, cycling safety videos, and a chance to win great prizes, simply by pledging to bike.

Last year, 861 people pledged to cycle to work, covering a total distance of 759,040 kilometres. Participants reduced greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 191 tonnes by biking instead of using motorized modes of transport. The 2012 edition of Bike to Work Month promises to encourage even more people.

Among many new website features, individuals and workplaces can now log daily trips and track new statistics like money saved. A community events calendar available year round, welcomes itself as a social hub for postings from anyone in the cycling community.

EnviroCentre is also encouraging people to develop their confidence with cycling skills. The organization has teamed up with City Wide Sports to offer 60-minute workshops geared for a range of skill levels. Training will be offered at workplaces for a modest fee. Options include lunchtime presentations on commuter cycling or bike maintenance, as well as hands-on cycling workshops with practice sessions in parking lots and on city roads.

EnviroCentre is actively collaborating with 65 workplaces representing over 50,000 employees. Posters, slideshows, videos and email campaigns will reach a broad audience – encouraging many people to try commuting by bicycle.

Infill guidelines endorsed despite developers’ objections Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – A push to update rules and make new “infill” homes better fit into existing neighbourhoods sparked one of the first big-picture policy discussions to hit the city’s planning committee under this council.

The debate at planning committee on April 10 was started by a litany of more than 20 delegations. First, a series of development industry representatives asking for a delay in order to influence more changes to the rules and then community activists who applauded the opportunity to finally address the issue of retaining the feel of the neighbourhoods they love.

Eventually, councillors brushed off the concerns of the development industry and sided with community associations, nine of whom came out in support of the new rules. The vote at planning committee was unanimous, but councillors also agreed to

delay when the new guidelines would be approved by full city council (May 8 instead of April 25) to allow for technical changes to wording in the guidelines that were requested by the development industry.

The changes are aimed at cooling some of the tensions that arise when neighbours don’t like the size of a new home being proposed where there wasn’t one before, such as the practice of splitting up a lot that used to have one home

“These recommendations will frustrate this industry and may even kill it.”

MURRAY CHOWN

and building two or three homes in its place.

Plans for extremely tall towers draw hundreds of people to public meetings, but smaller infill homes are fought piecemeal, more quietly, across the

city on a regular basis.

While the city can’t do anything to legislate the style of the houses (some neighbours dislike more modern-looking buildings in older neighbourhoods), it can regulate details that help a home fit into its street: size, location of the driveway and garage, how far back from the street, whether front-yard trees are saved and other details aimed at creating a sense of cohesion with surrounding homes.

Architect Rosaline Hill, who said she works on many infill projects, led the plea from the development industry to delay the changes, which have been contemplated and discussed at private and public meetings for more than a year.

Hill said the changes will decrease compatibility of infill home with their neighbours: the opposite effect of what’s intended.

“These recommendations will frustrate this industry and may even kill it,” added Murray Chown, a development lawyer who spoke at the

meeting on behalf of Haslet Construction, Falsetto Homes, Tony Cassone and Mircoa Design.

But councillors on the planning committee disagreed, saying delays were unacceptable.

Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs, whose ward has the highest level of small infill development in the city, said any delay would put neighbourhoods and homes at risk.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said the development industry would likely appeal any new regulations the city passes, whether there is a delay for alterations or not.

COMMUNITY GROUPS SUPPORT RULES

While the development industry found flaws with the new rules, community associations offered resounding support for the city’s plan.

Wellington West resident Mary-Ellen Kot said her neighbourhood felt more like a

village when she moved there 24 years ago, but now it’s only a “village” for real-estate purposes.

“We simply feel our wards are experiencing a lot of infill and the characteristics of our neighbourhoods are not being respected,” she said. “Before this study, we didn’t have a say.”

Champlain Park resident Heather Pearl told the committee that communities like hers want to find a balance between developers who see neighbourhoods as blank slates and community stalwarts who consider their neighbourhood to be a static, never-changing place.

But some community associations still had concerns the new infill guidelines didn’t address and two urban councillors took up their causes.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury was successful in his pitch for a three-year pilot project to require additional city approvals if existing homes are converted into apartments, a major concern

in Sandy Hill, which has seen many conversions to student apartments.

Capital Coun. David Chernushenko was frustrated that a provision preventing frontyard parking on small lots was removed from the final guidelines after appearing in the draft version. He is so convinced of the trickle-down negative effects of allowing that type of parking that he agreed to put $15,000 from his office budget towards hiring an expert to back up his claim.

Allowing too much frontyard parking requires creating more openings in the curb, called “curb cuts,” which reduces the amount of on-street parking. That puts pressure on parking, but it also leads motorists to drive faster.

“There is a lengthy list of reasons,” Chernushenko said. “When you have no cars parked on the street, it becomes a speedway … you need activity on the street that makes drivers slow down and be cautious.”

Canal services sinking under budget cuts Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - The Rideau Canal’s boating season could be cut short this summer after the federal government directed the department to shave $29.2 million dollars off its operating budget.

In an internal staff memo, Parks Canada CEO Alan Latourelle said the cutbacks will mean Parks Canada seven canals could see shorter seasons, reduced hours of operation and fewer staff at lock stations in order to “focus investments on the periods of highest requirements.”

Spokesperson Carol Sheedy said the Rideau Canal will still open on time on the Victoria Day weekend in May this spring, and hours of operation will remain unchanged this summer. However the canal could close earlier than the currently scheduled Oct. 10 depending on the department’s analysis of how and when the canal is used throughout the season.

Sheedy said Parks Canada will look to concentrate services in the peak part of the boating season. Based on these analyses, she said the 2013 season could experience more drastic changes.

Sheedy said the cutbacks are justified because locks services at Parks Canada canals have remained virtually unchanged for the past 25 years, while usage has dropped by about a third.

“When you think of it, having the length of season and hours remaining largely the same but with less use, the cost of recreational boating is very high on a per-boat basis,” she said. “Within the current budget context Canadian taxpayers can no longer afford to have Parks Canada operate the canal the same way.”

Merrickville Mayor Doug Struthers said the cutbacks will have an impact on towns along the Rideau Canal that depend on tourism.

Given that the canal was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site only five years

ment” and somewhat exempt from the chopping block.

“Within the current budget context Canadian taxpayers can no longer afford to have Parks Canada operate the canal the same way.”

Parks Canada could cut the boating season and services to the Rideau Canal in order to shave some money off the budget. ago, Struthers said he was surprised Parks Canada was “given marching orders” to cut services. He said he was under

the impression the Rideau Canal, as a national and international tourist destination, was viewed as a “strategic invest-

He said now that the cuts are on the table and an assessment of boat traffic is ongoing, this is an opportunity to prove the value of the Rideau Canal in order to preserve services for next season.

“To me the opportunity is not to say ‘stop the process’ but to assess the value of the Rideau Corridor,” he said. “It’s an opportunity to give an outcome...that it is appropriate to maintain if not the level of funding (then) certainly the operating season and the level of service.”

outcome would mean the federal government would reverse canal-specific cuts to the Parks Canada budget.

Sheedy said the final decision about this year’s season end date will be made later in the summer once boat traffic numbers have come in. However she said cuts are inevitable regardless of visitor traffic.

“The government has directed Parks Canada to reduce its operating budget $29.2 million dollars, or 9.3 per cent. So this means there will be impacts on our hours of operation and also on our staff, of course.”

Parks Canada also plans to consolidate its service centres and national office into a “significantly reduced structure” and will limit the amount of public opinion research it conducts to improve programming. It will shift to selfguided visitor services at some national historic sites, and will align staffing with peak periods of the season, which could impact the operating seasons of some parks and sites, the memo said.

It makes ‘cents’ Habitat for Humanity to collect 10 million pennies EMC news - Habitat for Humanity National Capital Region (NCR) is launching a campaign to collect 10 million pennies, which will be used to build a home this year for another deserving low-income, working family.

Ten million pennies equal $100,000 – the average cost of the materials required to build a Habitat home.

“With the recent federal government announcement that the penny will no longer be in production as of this fall, we’re calling on all residents of the National Capital Region to donate pennies that have collected in their drawers, change trays and pockets,” says Donna Hicks, CEO of Habitat NCR. “Together we’ll be able to help another low-income, working family receive a hand up, not a hand out.”

Since 1993, Habitat NCR

has built 38 homes, completed seven retrofits and housed more than 50 families. Habitat homes are sold to low-income, working families through interest-free mortgages with no down payment required, helping them to break the cycle of poverty.

Habitat for Humanity affiliates and ReStores across Canada will be accepting donated pennies with the ultimate goal of collecting 690 million, enough so that each of the 69 Habitat affiliates in Canada can build one more home this year.

“We are very excited to kick off this nation-wide campaign,” says Stewart Hardacre, President and CEO of Habitat Canada. “Through the simple donation of spare pennies, more low-income Canadians will gain access to homeownership that is affordable, igniting a transformation within families that will last for generations to come.”

If you are interested in collecting pennies for Habitat NCR at your workplace, school or in your community, please call Christine Wheeler at 613-749-9950, ext. 223, or email fundraising@habitatncr. com.

EMC news - Students and staff at Brookfield High School used pedal power to raise $8,245 for children with cancer.

21 teams each made of six people participated in the Inside Ride event at the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gymnasium on April 11, with riders pedaling on stationary bikes to help raise funds to support efforts to find a cure for childhood cancers.

The Inside Ride is a fundraising event dedicated to raising funds to support children and their families living with and beyond childhood cancer.

Grade 12 student Justin Chapados helped organize the event and was excited by how much they had been able to raise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am glad we were able to beat last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total which was just more than $8,000â&#x20AC;? said Chapados.

Teams of six were put together to ride a stationary bicycle for one hour with each team member pedaling for 10 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All you needed to participate was to form a team of six and be able to raise a minimum of $300,â&#x20AC;? said Chapados who has organized the event for the last two years.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there is something we can do to help fund research to eradicate the disease letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go for it,â&#x20AC;? said Rob Laderoute, teacher at Brookfield.

He said the event was a good combination of collecting funds for a noble cause and entertainment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is very appropriate for the whole group to be raising money for this cause.

It is going to aid everybody in their lives whether directly or indirectly,â&#x20AC;? said Laderoute.

By choosing to ride, donate, volunteer, or fundraise, organizers said the event is inclusive and builds a spirit of community, team spirit, and achievement.

17-year-old Colette Cseke said the event was a great was to raise money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is awesome, I am happy I helped lend a hand,â&#x20AC;? said Cseke.

All funds raised go toward improving the survival rate and quality of life of children and their families impacted by cancer, specifically to support investigative research that explores treatments for the toughest and most lethal childhood cancers as well as treatments that prevent toxicities or adverse effects in later life.

Home care in Canada lacking: health council Distressed caregivers stretched too far, according to report EMC news - Today, the Health Council of Canada released Seniors in need, caregivers in distress: What are the home care priorities for seniors in Canada?

The report provides the first cross Canada snapshot on the needs of home care clients and their caregivers. The report looked at data from five

regions including Nova Scotia, Ontario, Manitoba, British Columbia and Yukon and found that seniors who need home care the most are not getting the level of care they need.

One-third of seniors in the Health Council’s sample have complex health needs, often involving both a physical dis-

ability and cognitive impairment such as dementia, but these people receive only a few more hours of home care services per week than what is offered to seniors with moderate care needs.

This leaves the burden on the shoulders of many family caregivers in Canada. Caring for a high-needs senior with limited outside support may stretch family caregivers beyond their capacity.

About 40 to 50 per cent of seniors with the most complex health needs have distressed

caregivers, who report they are finding it difficult to continue to provide care, and that they have feelings of stress, anger, and depression.

A burned out caregiver cannot help anyone if they end up in the hospital or become otherwise unable to function.

In fact many caregivers are seniors themselves, at risk of health crises under stress.

The report calls for a system that regularly assesses the situations of seniors and their family caregivers and provides support, whether it

is additional hours of home care or faster placement a loved one into a long-term facility.

“Home care has become an integral part of the health care system, not something that happens off-side in the community,” said Lyn McLeod, councillor with the Health Council of Canada. “Governments need to make home care a priority by developing and implementing an integrated continuing care strategy.

Jurisdictions can adapt what is working by learning from innovative practices.”

The most successful programs and policies bring together home care, primary care and acute care under one co-ordinating body. To do this, the report suggests a change in the way funding is allocated.

Canada currently spends considerably more on longterm care facilities than home care. Among countries monitored by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Canada has one of the larger gaps between spending on long-term care and home care: 0.96 per cent of GDP for long-term care and 0.21 per cent of GDP for home care.

The report also calls for integration of home care across sectors and services as well as the provision of support for family caregivers. As hospitals are the main source of referrals to home care, when seniors leave the hospital they should experience a smooth transition from hospital to home care. And once a senior is receiving home care, the

family physician should be included as part of the home care team.

“When home care is properly valued and integrated into the health care system, it can improve the health and well-being of many seniors and their families, and reduce costs to the health care system,” said John G. Abbott, CEO of the Health Council of Canada.

The report also addresses the issue of the alternate level of care (ALC) patients – people who don’t need the acute care of a hospital, but still need some care. Often they are awaiting placement in a long-term care institution or rehabilitation facility.

ALC patients use an average of 5,200 hospital beds every day, at high cost to the health care system. Many of these people are seniors who could be cared for at home if appropriate supports were in place.

ABOUT THE HEALTH COUNCIL

Created by the 2003 First Ministers’ Accord on Health Care Renewal, the Health Council of Canada is an independent national agency that reports on the progress of health care renewal. The council provides a systemwide perspective on health care reform in Canada, and disseminates information on leading practices and innovation across the country.

The councillors are appointed by the participating provincial and territorial governments and the government of Canada.

Comment wanted for Rideau drinking water policy Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority is looking for feedback on a drinking water protection plan it has drafted with the Mississippi Conservation Authority.

Until May 4, residents from across Rideau-Goulbourn, Kemptville, Almonte and Carleton Place can comment on the policy that aims to keep contaminants out of rivers and groundwater where they are a source of municipal drinking water.

The draft policy is mandated by the provincial Clean Water Act of 2006, which calls for a water source protection plan for each region in the province.

Local source protection committees, typically spearheaded by the regional conservation authorities, have been created across Ontario and must submit their protection plans to the province by August 2012.

The Mississippi-Rideau committee’s draft policy would require area municipalities from Kemptville to Almonte and all the way to urban Ottawa to enforce stricter standards for 21 activities that could potentially contaminate drinking water, such as fuel storage, using septic systems, applying pesticides, fertilizer and other chemicals, and other industrial and agricultural activities.

Project manager Sommer Casgrain-Robertson said the most common activities near municipal wells in the Mississippi-Rideau area include use and storage of home heating oil, a variety of agricultural practices and septic system use.

A statement asking for feedback said the plan will include a number of voluntary and mandatory policies that “encourage good stewardship, require additional oversight or risk reduction measures where necessary and prohibit certain

activities from being established in the future.”

Most of the policies would be enforced by municipalities.

The statement noted as well that some provincial funding and grants are available through the Ontario Drinking Water Stewardship until the end of 2012 for residents and businesses who want to proactively address issues.

Municipalities are expected to begin implementing some aspects of the plan in 2013.

The committee will host three open houses in April to

explain the draft policy for affected residents. The first will take place at the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority headquarters in Manotick on April 19, from 4 to 8 p.m. On April 24 residents can visit Carleton Place Arena from 4 to 8 p.m. and on April 26 they can head to the Smiths Falls Memorial Centre at the same time.

The committee has been working closely with the Raisin-South Nation committee, which is creating a similar policy for the eastern Ottawa region from Greely all the way

to the St. Lawrence basin.

“The general intent is the same, especially on activities and threats that are in their area and our area,” said RaisinSouth Nation water resources engineer Phil Barnes.

That was the city of Ottawa’s main concern. Since the city straddles two source protection plan areas, staff want to make sure the two policies are very similar to make implementation easier.

“Our concern...is how the plans are meshed together so we don’t have different poli-

cies for the west and the east,” said Michel Kearney, a hydro geologist for the city. He noted that if the policies differ too greatly council may decide to implement the more restrictive policy across the board.

“We have the choice to do that, it would be the decision of council if we want to do that,” he said.

For more information or to read the draft policy, visit www.mrsourcewater.ca or contact Sommer CasgrainRobertson at 613-692-3571 ext 1147.

Broadview rebuild jeopardizes Findlay Creek school: trustee

- Robert Dick & Doug McIntosh Owners, Neilcorp Homes

Ottawa public school board debates capital priorities list Eddie Rwema Eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – Any new project that gets added to the list of capital priorities will likely delay the projected opening of a new elementary public school in Findlay Creek slated for September, 2014, an area public school board trustee has warned.

Mark Fisher was reacting to a vote on April 11 that favoured a rebuild for Broadview Public School rather than have it repaired as recommended by staff.

But the vote was later voided as the committee adjourned before they had a chance to vote on the list.

Seven trustees voted in favour and five voted against the motion.

“Anything that gets added to the top of the list now with no due diligence it is going to put that timeline in jeopardy,” said Fisher.

The committee will vote on the capital priorities list at their next meeting early May. The school board has to submit the list to the province

by May 31.

A vote on the rebuilding of Broadview would put it ahead of Findlay Creek on the board’s capital priority list.

“Findlay Creek is there as a priority and staff has been saying it is a priority since 2006,” said Fisher.

Fisher said he was troubled by the way downtown trustees were making decisions to add projects to the capital priority list without going through due diligence.

“For the three years that I have been at the board, I was really upset with the kind of discussion we were having because it was completely not the right discussion, for a board that manages a billion dollars worth of assets,” said Fisher.

Not having an elementary school in Findlay Creek, a community of mostly young parents is difficult, said Sumana Jana, chair of the education committee with Findlay Creek Community Association.

The association has written to the board expressing their concern about the plans and timelines for a new elementary school.

hood school and the scattering of children across the city will have a detrimental effect on the community as children living next door to each other often don’t attend the same school,” the letter stated.

Currently there are 250 children living in Findlay Creek who attend Ottawa Carleton District School Board schools outside the community.

The majority of these students currently attend Elizabeth Park Public School, which trustee Fisher said currently tops the list of schools needing a rebuild as opposed to Broadview that currently sits on number 68.

“The reason why Findlay Creek is on the list of priorities is because they know the state of Elizabeth Park,” said Fisher.

School boards may identify up to 30 capital priorities, however the Ministry of Education only accepts business cases for a maximum of ten per district.

Second pond approved in Riverside South Councillor seeks promise that new ponds will be odour-free Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - With another stormwater pond on the way for growing Riverside South, Coun. Steve Desroches wants to ensure a “rotten egg” odour that plagued another pond isn’t repeated.

The city’s planning committee approved a financial arrangement to construct a pond designed to hold excess rainwater and prevent flooding in an upcoming development.

The ponds, which are also supposed to function as recreational areas, have become a sore spot for Riverside South residents, who have complained of a strong sulphur smell emanating from the pond since 2009.

The agreement with the Riverside South Development Corporation for a new pond was delayed until last week on Oct. 25 as city staff tried to find solutions to fix the problem in an existing pond.

During the April 10 planning com-

mittee meeting, Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches put city staff on the spot and asked for assurances that odours would not be a problem at the new pond.

The stench and lengthy process to find a solution have been disappointing and unfortunate, Desroches said.

“This is a beautiful pond that people want to enjoy for four seasons of the year,” Desroches said. “It’s taken us unfortunately a few experiments to get a result with the technology we have.”

After trying out a few solutions this winter, city staff determined the best fix is a device that sends an electric current through the water to increase the level of dissolved oxygen.

But that reactive solution won’t fly when it comes to building new ponds, Desroches said. The delay in approving the new pond was meant to give time for the developer to come up with better plans to prevent odours from developing at all.

City health officials say the pond is so smelly in winter because a naturally occurring sulfate in the pond bottom depletes the oxygen in the water, creating hydrogen sulfide gas. In warmer months this chemical can disperse into the atmosphere unnoticed, but when the pond freezes over the gas can’t escape as easily.

This causes the gas to leave in larger amounts from small open water areas, creating a more concentrated rotten egg smell.

The new pond will be constructed north of Spratt Road and east of Limebank Road, in a vacant area

The storm water pond behind Dusty Miller Crescent and several other residential streets in Riverside South has emitted a rotten egg smell for several winters, leading Gloucester South-Nepean Coun.

Steve Desroches to defer plans to build another pond until the issue is resolved. where new housing developments will begin to be built over the next couple of years.

The pond is expected to cost $18.5 million to construct. The Riverside South Development Corporation

will pay the cost and the city will reimburse the corporation over time.

Volunteers sought for community tree planting Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

Photo by Eddie Rwema

City Stream Watch co-ordinator Chelsey Ellis hopes a lot of people will show up for community tree planting on April 22.

She said the Sawmill Creek stream is one of the very urban creeks in Ottawa, and as an urban watershed, a lot of garbage tends to collect along the banks and in the stream itself which can harm the important fish and wildlife habitat along the creek.

“Some areas have good buffers of trees and shrubs but of course the more urban ones are in need of more help,” she said.

“Some areas are more neglected than others.”

Ellis reached out to surrounding community to come participate in tree planting as well as doing garbage cleanup as part of the Earth Day event that falls on the same day.

“We really need volunteers because we have lots of trees to plant,” she said.

“Once you have been out there and you have planted tress you feel a connection to

that stream and to your community.”

All necessary training, equipment and supervision will be provided on-site and there is no cost to volunteers.

Last year, 220 participated in the community tree planting spending 1,575 hours.

“We have a lot of volunteer participation and people really enjoy the events and the day,” said Ellis.

EMC news – About 450 trees will be planted on Sawmill Creek in Heron Park and residents are being urged to come up in big to help out.

City Stream Watch will be partnering with the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation to plant native shrubs along the stream.

A community tree-planting event is planned for April 22, and organizers said the event is a chance for members of the community to get involved in making the city more beautiful and healthy.

Part of the goal of involving the community is to raise awareness for the important of streams to the city and to the communities in which they flow,” said Chelsey Ellis, City Stream Watch co-ordinator.

Sawmill Creek is approximately 10-kilometres long and flows north through South Keys and Heron Park before joining the Rideau River at Billings Bridge.

According to Ellis, planting native shrubs and tress along tributaries create an effective buffer along the streams, filter contaminants, slow stormwater runoff and provide a greater diversity of habitat for fish and other wildlife.

“The more we have people out, the more people … can see the streams and also take ownership for those streams,” said Ellis.

Herongate Mall to be demolished, redeveloped Shoppers worry a new mall will lead to more expensive goods Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

who is the ďŹ nal tenant that still to be determined,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point it is all going to be market driven and will all depend on tenant interest but until it is formalized I am not sure exactly what shape it is going to take and who the tenants would be,â&#x20AC;?

Trinity Development Group is working with RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust to redevelop the 200,000-squarefoot mall.

There had been reports that the mall had a vacancy of 40 per cent, which was exacerbated when the 50,000square-foot Convergys facility at one end of the mall closed in 2010.

Even with the aging and low occupancy, some shop-

pers think it is not right to have the mall torn down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I come here because, prices are relatively affordable at this mall,â&#x20AC;? said Bobbette Smith, a resident of Greely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they are just tearing it down to put up a prettier building and then increase prices of commodities then that is not going to beneďŹ t the community.â&#x20AC;?

She wondered what it is mall owners are going to put in the new shopping centre that will attract more businesses that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it is doing what it is supposed to do, why tear it down?â&#x20AC;? said Smith.

Some seniors were also upset the demolition of the mall will affect their way of living.

Betty Larabie walks everyday to the mall to meet and chat with fellow seniors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wake up at nine every day, shower and head to the mall. Now that is not going to happen again,â&#x20AC;? said Larabie.

She said she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the idea of tearing down the mall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like it very much and I thought it could stay longer.

We are going to have nothing to do now if they tear down.â&#x20AC;?

Larabie said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been frequenting the mall for more than 20 years now and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine life without it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is going to affect all the seniors. I have been coming here for more than 20 years.

I think it is wrong,â&#x20AC;? she said.

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With the exception of the Food Basics, most of the stores in the long-struggling Herongate Mall will be torn down starting this summer to make room for a major redevelopment that is likely to take two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are knocking down the entire shopping centre except for the Food Basics,â&#x20AC;? said Philip Currie, vice president of Trinity Development Group.

He said construction of the mall located near Walkley and Heron roads starts this summer and the demolition of the rest of the mall will happen sometime next summer.

The redevelopment will transform the aging and deserted mall into a more attractive and vibrant neighbourhood shopping centre, said Currie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The mall right now is very run down,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Currie said he is optimistic the community will support

the mall, once it is redeveloped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think the area will support something like this and I think the general public will appreciate what we are doing,â&#x20AC;? said Currie.

He said they are helping tenants currently in the mall to relocate before the mall is torn down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are relocating the Scotiabank, Pharma Plus and a couple of other smaller tenants inside the mall,â&#x20AC;? said Currie.

Overall the redevelopment will take about two years, but Currie said it is still early to determine who the tenants of the refurbished mall will be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The deďŹ nitive ďŹ nal shape of the shopping centre and

Gonchar relishes playoff run with Senators

By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com This is why Sergei Gonchar came to Ottawa.

For the veteran blueliner, it is all about the Stanley Cup playoffs and the opportunity to chase after the most treasured prize in the game. And that opportunity with his current team has finally arrived with the Senators’ current matchup with the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference quarter-finals.

“Playoffs is always exciting,” said the 37-yearold native of Chelyabinsk, Russia. “You have a chance to compete for the Stanley Cup, which is probably the highest prize in the world. Playing in the best league, you have a chance to compete for it and it’s special. We’re going to have all (our) fans behind us, so it’s going to be something.”

It is the “something” that Gonchar had in mind when he signed a three-year contract with the Senators as a free agent two summers ago.

In the spring of 2010, his Pittsburgh Penguins survived a hard-fought Defenceman Sergei Gonchar, a veteran of three Stanley Cup finals and a champion in opening-round series 2009, welcomes his first opportunity to skate in the Stanley Cup playoffs with the Ottawa against the Senators — it Senators (Photo by Eliot J. Schechter/NHLI via Getty Images). went six games, including a triple-overtime win by pieces short of being a true Ottawa in Game 5 — and Stanley Cup contender.

But Gonchar hardly Gonchar saw an opponent He felt he could be one of imagined the free fall the he believed was just a few those pieces.

Senators would undergo

last season. Their playoffs hopes were dead by January and within the next month, half a dozen veterans were unloaded, signalling the start of a rebuild for the future.

The Stanley Cup playoffs seemed to be little more than a pipe dream this season.

No wonder, then, that Gonchar talks with such enthusiasm about getting his 12th chance to chase hockey’s Holy Grail.

He’s played in three Cup finals, winning it all with the Penguins in 2009.

And while facing the Eastern Conference’s top seed is daunting — with 109 points, the Blueshirts were 17 better than the eighth-place Senators in the standings — the opportunity is still there to weave some post-season magic.

“It’s a huge difference,” Gonchar said of the Senators’ surprising rebound season. “Last year, I signed (in Ottawa) and I didn’t expect to have what we had. But the good thing is, it’s behind us and now I’m looking forward to the playoffs.

We’ve been much better this year and I’m looking forward to the playoffs and I’m hoping it’s going to be even better there.”

carrying little in the way of expectations — most pre-season predictions had them finishing at or near the bottom of the conference — Gonchar said the team didn’t see it that way.

While entered

“(MacLean) is a big part of it,” said Gonchar.

“He changed the system, he changed the attitude in the locker room, so I think he’s a really big part of it.

If you look at it, he had been with an organization (the Detroit Red Wings, as an assistant coach) that has been successful. It was an organization that had won a few times with him (there).

UPCOMING SENATORS GAMES

NEW YORK RANGERS Monday, April 23, Time TBD, CBC Playoff excitement is back at Scotiabank Place for the first time in two years, with the Senators facing off against the New York Rangers in a bestof-seven Eastern Conference quarter-final series. It’s the first time the two teams have ever met in the Stanley Cup playoffs in modern franchise history.

The leaders: Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson is the greatest player in modern franchise history and the team’s unquestioned leader, while Ryan Callahan’s hardnosed style makes him a gritty captain for the Blueshirts.

Up front: Keep your eyes on the Blueshirts’ Marian Gaborik and Brad Richards, a former Conn Smythe Trophy winner as playoff MVP. With 84 points, the Senators’ Jason

Spezza ranked fourth in league scoring, while Milan Michalek notched a career-best 35 goals.

On the blue line: It’s the unstoppable force vs. the immovable object, as the Senators’ Erik Karlsson, who topped all NHL defencemen with 78 points this season, tries to navigate the wall put up by Dan Girardi, one of the league’s most effective shot blockers.

In the crease: Look for a duel between two top-flight netminders. The Rangers’ Henrik Lundqvist is a prime candidate to win the Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s top goaltender, while Craig Anderson’s stellar play between the pipes was a big reason the Senators landed a playoff spot.

“When you’re playing in the NHL, you have 20 guys that make each other pretty competitive,” he said. “We all want to prove something. When you have a season like we had last year, you want to come back and you want to be better. You want to prove it, not only to the people on the outside, but to yourselves as a group, that we can be better.”

When Senators head coach Paul MacLean talks about the veteran core he relied so heavily upon in building this team, he includes Gonchar among that group. He’s been a willing mentor to such young blueliners as Erik Karlsson and Jared Cowen, while contributing 37 points (5-32) to the Ottawa attack. But Gonchar, in turn, is quick to credit the man behind the bench with being perhaps the biggest reason why the Senators find themselves where they are today.

“Having that experience and being there gives you the ability to change things. You know what you need to do, you know how it’s supposed to be done and I think he’s done it. He’s a very big part of (our success).”

Calamity ensues on dance floor MARY COOK S pring has sprung,â&#x20AC;?

Everett said for the umpteenth time.

There was no doubt about it, the snow was gone, the trees were showing their early buds, the robins were back and all of Northcote was anticipating the first social event of the season.

It was time to put down the flooring behind the United Church for the first outdoor dance. This was made up of big slabs of boards put together, sitting on blocks of wood to make it solid. It would comfortably hold two square dance couples, or three if they were careful.

Sap buckets had been put away, the Model T taken off its blocks in the drive shed and the days were getting hot and longer, with the early evenings just right for the first outdoor party.

The farmers were yet to get on the land and when that happened, there wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be much time left for such frivolity as a neighbour-

Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories hood dance. They would go out at sunrise and their days wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end until the daylight had faded. These party evenings said winter was over and summer was just around the corner.

The music had already started when we drove into the church yard. There was Uncle Alec with his fiddle, two neighbours were strumming their guitars and the long table at the back of the church was already loaded with large baskets of sandwiches and pans of slab cake.

Aunt Bertha said she hoped there would be enough food, because it looked like everyone in the entire Northcote area had

shown up.

Since the ground was still soft, chairs werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t brought out of the church, but planks had been placed on blocks all around the make-shift dance floor, and they were filling up quickly. Mother ordered us five kids to sit and behave ourselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No rippinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; around the yard,â&#x20AC;? she ordered.

Lanterns placed on posts around the make-shift dance floor, to be lit when it got too dark for the fiddlers.

We barely got seated when someone designated himself caller and jumped up on the plank bench closest to the floor and called out â&#x20AC;&#x153;Partners for a square.â&#x20AC;? Well, such confusion! There was

a mad dash for the floor, young blades grabbing the hands of any girl within spitting distance, including my sister Audrey.

It looked to me like everyone, but the youngest of us, my three brothers, Cecil, Two Mile and Three Mile Herman were heading for the dance floor.

The caller had to order one set off, which still left three sets vying for the small space. There was much hand clapping and foot stomping.

Finally the caller and the music got together and the dancing began.

Well, all went well until just after the first do-se-do.

Each couple began the swing and they were going so fast, you could hardly see their feet moving. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when, as Cecil said later, â&#x20AC;&#x153;all hell broke loose.â&#x20AC;?

One couple lost their footing and went reeling off the dance floor, but not before both grabbed the shirts of the couple next in line, who in turn, grabbed hold of the

couple beside them and so it went until all eight of them were piled in a heap on the ground. They went down like a row of dominos, one on top of the other.

The most amazing thing to me was that the music went on as if nothing at all had happened. The other couples moved into the freed-up space and they finished the set to thunderous applause.

My sister Audrey was not one of the dancers to go sailing off the floor, for which I was very grateful. But Emerson and Cecil got into such a laughing fit I thought they were going to be sick.

Emerson, when he finally got

control of himself, said he could see Big Claraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flowerbag bloomers when she went rolling off the dance floor, which earned him a swift box on the ears from Mother.

It was the first dance of the season, but it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the last. From then on, the caller announced before he started the dance that there was only room for two sets at a time. Since there would be no more calamities from an overcrowded floor, Emerson and Cecil had to find their amusement somewhere else. Like the time they put a frog in the lemonade jug at the church picnic. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another story.

Faith and football combine in Riverside South Trinity Bible Church forms pigskin outreach program Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Submitted photo

An Ottawa church hopes to fill six football teams with 14 players each for its outreach footbacll program this summer. a pre-game prayer, and good sportsmanship is emphasized over winning or losing.

That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop the league from celebrating exciting plays and stellar games last year, particularly the championship game last July when the Stampeders creamed the Wildcats 14-0.

Trerice said some of the excitement comes from the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique rules, which allow passive blocking on the line of scrimmage as well as to protect the ball carrier while heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows for the same kind of excitement that tackle football provides without the risk of injury, or the need for equipment,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting that it also provides a good opportunity to get in shape for the fall tackle season.

Trinity Bible Church pastor Shawn Ketcheson said the league is a good way to meet to residents who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already part of the church community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way to connect with people who may not be connected with the church

or connected with God,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting that one player last year was struggling with drugs but took encouragement from the men he met through football to turn his life around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He found meaning and purpose in life and cleaned up. And he shared at church how he attributes that to the football. Just being with a bunch of guys who accepted him and hung out with him, he was encouraged by that.â&#x20AC;?

Registration is open for anyone over the age of 15, with a

registration day taking place Sunday, April 22 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Rideauview Community Centre in Riverside South. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Cost to register is $40 per adult or $20 for youth aged 15 to 17.

Exhibition games will take place Sunday, May 6 and the regular season will run from Sunday, May 13 to Sunday, July 15.

Playoffs will take place Sunday, July 22 and July 29.

The wrap-up barbeque and

awards ceremony will take place in the evening on July 29.

All games are on Sunday afternoons, which Trerice said is partly why 14 players are allowed on each team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We understand that young people often canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commit to every Sunday due to work and other priorities, and this ensures enough players are available to field a team each Sunday,â&#x20AC;? he said.

For more information about the league visit www. journeymenfootball.com.

R0011339213/0405

EMC sports - The Journeymen Football League is back for another season of faith and football in Ottawa South.

The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s touch football league is an outreach program of Trinity Bible Church in Osgoode. It began two years ago as a drop-in league, and last year blossomed to recruit more than 60 players for five teams that played each Sunday in Riverside South. The league tried to fill six teams last year but fell slightly short. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season will again hope to fill six teams with up to 14 players on a team, said organizer Bob Trerice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We offer a sport that can be enjoyed by all ages; it provides a great opportunity for fathers and sons to play together,â&#x20AC;? Trerice said in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It offers the opportunity to share some really special moments. For instance, there is nothing better for a father and son than a successful quarterback sack.â&#x20AC;?

While the football league is organized and funded by a Christian organization, Trerice said the league is open to anyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only requirement is that good sportsmanship and respect for fellow players is paramount. We had a great group of guys last year, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what made it so much fun,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Lemon, tarragon pair in easy chicken dish

I

f you’re looking for a simple yet different way to prepare chicken, this recipe will do the job.

A combination of bread crumbs, lemon juice, parsley and tarragon give this chicken lots of flavour while keeping it very moist during cooking.

You can make your own bread crumbs, or use Panko, which is a Japanese-style bread crumb. Sold in boxes in most supermarkets, these are a dry, medium-coarse crumb which gives food a crisp coating when cooked.

When you shop for this recipe, look for thinner chicken breasts rather than thick ones. They’ll cook more quickly, and the crumb coating is less likely to get overly-browned.

LEMON TARRAGON CHICKEN

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts • 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice • 2 tbsp. water

PAT TREW

WONDERFUL

Food ‘n’ Stuff • 2 tsp. olive oil or vegetable oil • 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs • 3 tbsp. dried parsley or 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley • 2 tsp. dried tarragon • 1 tsp. finely grated fresh lemon peel • 2 tbsp. oil for cooking In a shallow dish or pie plate, combine the lemon juice, water and two teaspoons of olive or vegetable oil.

In a large dinner plate or pie plate, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, tarragon and grated lemon peel.

Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and add the two tablespoons of cooking oil.

Dip both sides of each chicken breast first in the lemon juice mixture, then in the crumb mixture. Press the crumbs on to the chicken so that they stick.

Place the chicken pieces in the heated pan and cook on medium-high for two to three minutes per side until they just start to brown.

Turn the heat to low, and cook the chicken for 12-15 minutes, turning it occasionally.

When the chicken is done, it will read 165 F (74 C) on a meat thermometer and the juices will run clear when the tip of a sharp knife is poked into the thickest part of each piece.

Serves 4.

Help send a kid to camp with Thrift Stores EMC news - Salvation Army Thrift Stores want you to say “Yes” to helping a child experience fun, freedom and excitement at camp this summer.

For the third year in a row, Thrift Stores in Canada will collect funds in-store to help send marginalized children to camp for one week. The 2012 Send a Kid to Camp fundraiser runs through May 12.

Thanks to the overwhelming support and generous donations from customers and local businesses, last year’s campaign raised a grand total of $70,400 to send 320 deserving kids to camp across Canada.

This year, the Salvation Army hopes to give even more children the opportunity to live out the fun, freedom, and excitement that summer camp brings.

“The sad reality is that many parents in communities across the country simply cannot afford the luxury of sending their children to camp for a week, which is why our Send a Kid to Camp fundraiser is so important,” said John Kershaw, managing director of the Salvation Army national recycling operation.

“One week at camp can be an uplifting, life-changing experience for many of these disadvantaged children. It’s a memory that will remain with them forever. They will remember fun and friends, and that they had a chance to just be a kid.”

The Send a Kid to Camp fundraiser will be hosted at

wild &

120 Thrift Stores across Canada. You can support the Salvation Army’s efforts by donating what you can to a child’s future. It costs $220 to send a child to camp for one week,

PET OF THE WEEK

WESLEY ID#A139699

STEWIE ID#A141596

Meet Stewie, a neutered male, black and tan Rottweiler mix. He’s approximately three years old and has stunning brght blue eyes. He was brought to the shelter as a stray on March 24 but is now available for adoption. Stewie is very energetic and loves daily activities, like running or jogging. He needs a home with teens and adults only. Stewie is a big boy and needs a confident, assertive owner with largebreed experience. He needs a crate to help him adjust to his new home, as well as doggie obedience classes to help him become the best dog he can be!

This neutered male, black Domestic Shorthair cat is two years and three months old. He was brought to the shelter as a stray on January 10, but is now available for adoption. Wesley loves to occupy his time with good play sessions, eating, and catching cat naps in the sun. He has a silky and shiny black coat of fur, and he needs an active family with older children who can play with him and help him burn some energy. He’d rather not live in an apartment because he would thrive best with daily outings on a leash and harness supervised by his owners. Wesley is a Foster-Me-First feline because he is just finishing medication to prevent infection at his neuter site. For more information about these or other animals available for adoption, please call the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www.ottawahumane.ca.

Hi, my name is Kaytee and am only 16 months old. I was adopted from the Quebec SPCA. I love my new home & I love to get tummy rubs and to kiss mommy & daddy. I like to nip at my older sister, Ella’s tail and legs and have her chase me. She can hardly ever catch me, but when she does I have to be super sweet until the chase begins again.

Safeguard you, your family and your pets against fire. “Fire proof” your pets to help prevent a disaster from happening in your home.

Never leave a burning candle unsupervised. Even leaving the room for a minute is enough time for a curious cat or a tailwagging dog to knock over a candle.

Make sure that all cords are inaccessible to your pets, or that you unplug the cords when the electrical device is not in use.

Some dogs, cats, rabbits and rodents like to nibble on cords, which can result in serious burns

and can possibly cause a fire.

Keep certain appliances, such as irons and hair dryers, out of pets’ reach. These appliances can produce enough heat that, if knocked over by a pet, could start a fire.

Install a barrier in front of fireplaces, campfires, barbecues and portable heaters. It is a myth that pets are afraid of fire – in fact, many pets like to lay close to a source of heat to stay warm. Lying too close to a fire could result in your pet’s fur catching fire and it is possible for pets to knock over a portable heater or a barbecue.

Always ensure your pets do not have access to and cannot get close to these items.

If your pet is burned, put cool water on the burned area quickly, followed by a cold compress, and seek veterinary assistance immediately.

Let authorities know you have a pet in your home, in case of an emergency. Visit the Ottawa Humane Society’s Adoption Centre at 245 West Hunt Club Road to pick up a decal to place in a window or door that states how many animals are in the home and their names.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us: Website: www.ottawahumane.ca Email: Adoptions@ottawahumane.ca Telephone: (613) 725-3166 x258 Nepean-Barrhaven EMC - Thursday, April 19, 2012

Playoffs are here: grow hair to show you care EMC news - Playoff time is here and things are going to get hairy!

The NHLPA Beard-a-thon was launched this week in Ottawa to kick-off an initiative that will see NHL players and fans growing playoff beards to raise funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

“Growing a beard in solidarity with your favourite player can now help save a life,” says David Sculthorpe, CEO of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. “Whether you don a beard every playoff season or you’ve never done it before – you’ve got a lot to grow for.”

Heart disease and stroke take one in three Canadians before their time and is the leading cause of death in women.

“The NHLPA, together with the Heart and Stroke Foundation, encourages hockey fans to join the players in growing their best playoff beards again this year for the NHLPA Beard-

a-thon, as we raise money for heart disease and stroke research,” says Mathieu Schneider, NHLPA special assistant to the executive director and former NHL player.

Rob Zamuner, a former Senator, played in 798 NHL games while scoring 311 career points.He currently serves as a divisional representative for the NHLPA. “By signing up for the NHLPA Beard-athon, you can raise important funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation while growing a playoff beard,” says Zamuner.

Matt Carkner, NHLPA member and Ottawa Senators defenceman, has already started growing his own playoff beard.

“I’m excited to see some of the other great playoff beards on my teammates and our fans this year. With the NHLPA Beard-a-thon, our fans can also pledge each other or their favourite players to show their support as we raise

money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation,” says Carkner.

Participating NHL players include: Andrew Alberts, Keith Ballard, Alex Burrows, Marc-Andre Gragnani, Dan Hamhuis, Chris Higgins, Zack Kassian, Ryan Kesler, Maxim Lapierre, Manny Malhotra, Mason Raymond, Cory Schneider, Chris Tanev, and Dale Weise (Vancouver Canucks); Adrian Aucoin and

Paul Bissonnette (Phoenix Coyotes); Patrice Bergeron (Boston Bruins); Matt Carkner and Chris Phillips (Ottawa Senators); Pascal Dupuis (Pittsburgh Penguins); Brian Elliott (St. Louis Blues); Scott Hartnell and Max Talbot (Philadelphia Flyers); Brooks Laich (Washington Capitals); Jamal Mayers (Chicago Blackhawks); Brandon Prust (New York Rangers); and Kyle Quincey (Detroit Red Wings).
