Plumbing work at Bayshore Public School in March, April suspected Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

EMC news - Multiple tests have found levels of lead in the drinking water at Bayshore Public School that are 60 times what is considered acceptable.

In addition, some of the plumbing work that is suspected as a possible source of the contamination has been carried out at other schools across the Ottawa public board, although no other school’s has been found with unhealthy amounts of lead.

Students have been stopped from drinking any of the water at Bayshore Public School since May 23, when a test result showed 626 micrograms of lead per litre of water. The acceptable level is 10 micrograms per litre.

It’s not clear how long students may have been drinking water contaminated with high levels of lead. A possible cause mentioned on the school’s website was described as “recent work on

the plumbing.”

A spokeswoman for the school board replied to a request for information by email.

Sharlene Hunter said a new design of water fountain was installed at the school in early March. A clothes washer was installed in April.

PLUMBING CHANGES

The same type of drinking fountain – a design that includes a faucet to fill water bottles – has been installed in other schools in the public board, possibly using the same installation materials and methods as the fountain at the Bayshore school.

Health Canada says leadbased solder on plumbing pipes can introduce lead to a water system.

Hunter said the water-bottle filling stations have been installed in 146 of the board’s 147 elementary and secondary schools.

Ottawa pentathlete headed to Olympics

EMC news - Melanie McCann recently finished in seventh place at another World

Cup competition in China, her best-ever result in modern pentathlon.

While she has to work hard on all five events – pistol shooting, epee fencing, 200m freestyle swimming, show jumping and three-km crosscountry running – McCann said she’s put in a lot of work on swimming and running over the winter.

Several weeks ago, she recorded a ninth-place finish in Hungary at a World Cup event.

McCann’s previous top finish in a World Cup event was 15th, something she’d recorded three times. Heading into the 2012 Olympic Games in London, the 22-year-old said her placing gives her a lot of confidence.

“It means that whatever my coaches and I have been doing over the winter has obviously been working,” she said. “We can just keep moving forward without changing a lot on the training end of things.”

Fencing will be McCann’s forte in London From PENTATHLON, page 1

COC photo by Darryl Dyck

Melanie McCann, left, and Donna Vakalis were named to the 2012 Canadian Olympic team in the sport of modern pentathlon at an event in Vancouver on June 6. Equestrian is one of five sport disciplines in modern pentathlon. ent than most Canadian pentathletes.

“I took up riding rather late in my pentathlon career,” she explained. “A lot of other Canadians come from a pony club background where they grow up riding.”

Despite her late start, show jumping has been a strong event for McCann this season, recording one of the top three rides in each competition.

While McCann said there is an

element of randomness or luck to success in the riding event, since a rider only meets their horse 20 minutes before the competition, she said she’s worked hard on her riding and is pleased to see her experience and training come through.

“I’m feeling really positive on the horse,” she said. “I couldn’t be happier.”

It’s been a successful year so far for McCann, who qualified for the

Olympics after a fourth-place finish at the Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, in October. She also captured the provincial and national senior women’s titles and was named the top modern pentathlete at the Ottawa Sports Awards in January.

“Pentathlon is so, so unpredictable though,” she explained. “You never know how the next event will go, but I’m enjoying every minute of it.”

She competed at the world cham-

“Paris is one of the best cities in the world for fencing, so I thought it would be a good training camp for me,” she said. “It was good. I was able to work really hard without worrying about resting for any sort of competition.”

Now she’s back in Ottawa, where she lives when she’s not competing, focused on training with coach John Hawes.

“I moved to Ottawa in 2010 to be closer to my coach,” she said, adding that she trains at Carleton University and the RA Centre unless she is travelling for competitions.

McCann, who is home after the three worlds competitions, said she has seven or eight weeks to start training for the Olympic Games in London.

“I want to work on getting faster and fitter for my running,” she said, adding she is also planning on tweaking her fencing technique.

“I usually get the most points in fencing so I think it’s important to focus on that,” she said.

However, over the past year McCann said her biggest improvement has come in shooting.

“I’ve been shooting consistently quite well,” she said. “There’s still room to bring my time down a little more, but I’m able to be competitive now with the rest of the field.”

McCann came into modern pentathlon from a swimming and running background, which she said is differ-

pionships in Rome from May 7 to 12 and then went to Chengdu, China, for the World Cup final at the end of May. After these stops she has some time off from competing before heading to Britain in late July to prepare for the Olympics.

“I can’t give you a placing that I want,” she said. “I want to have a really solid performance and a really positive experience at the Olympic Games.”

McCann said it will be tough to keep focused on her event and take in the experience without being overwhelmed, but added she has a good support team to keep her on track.

“I have a big group of family and friends that are coming,” she said of the Olympic trip.

“I’m really excited to have them there and cheer me on, so hopefully I can put on a good show for them.

It means the world to me that they’re going to be there.”

As for future plans, McCann said she’d like to compete for another four years and continue on to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, noting she’ll rest and re-evaluate after London.

But for the coming Olympics, McCann said a medal is a realistic possibility.

“In pentathlon you can see anyone from the top 15 shoot to the podium,” she said. “It’s definitely realistic, but I’ll have to take it one event at a time before I can think about that.”

EMC news - The Ottawa Public Library has partnered with Ontario Parks to introduce camping basics to new Canadians and young families.

The Learn to Camp workshops will focus on overcoming barriers to camping and spending time in the outdoors.

During this hands-on workshop, participants will learn

about setting up camp, safety and ethics and how to camp with minimal impact on the environment.

The program will be held at the following branches: • Orleans branch, 1705 Orleans Blvd. on June 19, from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

• Carlingwood branch, 281 Woodroffe Ave. on June 26 from noon to 1:30 p.m.

The majority of the fountains were installed by the board’s plumbing staff and the balance by a contractor. Bayshore Public School fountains were installed by board plumbers.

Water at all the board’s schools is tested annually.

Hunter said this year’s testing across the board started on May 8 and will be completed early July. Water tests have been carried out at 93 of the public board’s schools with only Bayshore exceeding the allowable level of lead.

Hunter confirmed that the board does not

have a policy requiring extra water testing following plumbing work at a school. It’s not clear if the lead found in Bayshore will prompt added testing or retesting in other schools.

About 400 children attend Bayshore Public School, from kindergarten to Grade 5.

Health Canada says exposure to lead can affect the intellectual development of children.

The federal department says infants and toddlers are particularly vulnerable to the harmful effects of lead.

The most recent Bayshore Public School water sample was taken for testing on June 5.

The board was awaiting results at press time.

Bon Iver headlines Ottawa Folk Festival Annual festival will also feature Great Big Sea, Ben Harper and Matthew Good Eddie Rwema Eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC entertainment – Grammy-winner Bon Iver is the headline act for this year’s Ottawa Folk Festival.

The festival will return to Hog’s Back Park and run from Sept. 6 to 10, a month after than usual, and an extra day has been tacked on to the five-day event.

“We made a decision to go to September because of the availability of artists,” said folk festival artistic director Mark Monahan.

“We think in terms of timing, it really depends on the artist who wants to come.”

Part of the reason why the festival was extended by a day was to accommodate Bon Iver who Monahan said will help raise the profile of the festi-

val.

“There is a huge fan base for him and he has never played in Ottawa before. It will be a huge night and will draw a lot of attention to the rest of the line-up as well,” said Monahan.

Bon Iver is an American folk band founded in 2007 by indie-folk singer-songwriter

Justin Vernon.

The earliest the band wanted to play was Monday, Sept.

10.

Monahan said he expects a repeat of last year’s increase in attendance, powered by an all-star line-up.

Some of the other big names include Ottawa native Kathleen Edwards (who is dating Bon Iver frontman Vernon),American roots-rocker Ben Harper, Newfoundland folk-rockers Great Big Sea, Dan Mangan, and Matthew Good.

“Once again we are raising a bar in terms of the talent we are presenting,” said Monahan.

Monahan hopes this year’s lineup will draw bigger crowds than before.

“Close to 10,000 a day, nearly double what we had in 2010.”

Monahan took control of the Folk Festival last year, doubling the number of musicians participating and moving the event from Britannia Park to Hog’s Back Park.

EMC news - A group of Grade 6 students at St. Andrew Catholic School in Barrhaven nearly made it around the world in an effort to raise money for the Canadian Tire Jumpstart program to help children in low-income families participate in sports.

The students earned a Judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice Award from the Learning Partnershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2012 Ottawa Entrepreneurial Adventure Showcase on June 7 for their efforts.

According to teacher Stephen Farrell, the kids considered a number of charities for their project, but wanted to do something that encouraged children to get active. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had CHEO come in and talk about their obesity clinic,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the Jumpstart program really resonated with the class.â&#x20AC;?

For a small donation, the kids were outďŹ tted with pedometers to track their steps.

The project started on March 19 and lasted about ďŹ ve weeks, with the students managing more than 50 million steps â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or 38,000 kilometres.

The grand ďŹ nale was held at the school on April 19 with the kids playing a game called earth ball and a cheque presentation to the local Canadian Tire.

Parents struggle with fundraising fatigue Ontario’s education system taps families’ desire to improve children’s learning: People for Education Kristen Calis, Jessica Cunha and Rosie-Ann Grover

P

arents across Ontario are feeling unprecedented pressure to open their wallets for school fundraising as families shell out money for everything from crayons and Kleenex to computers and playground equipment.

“Today there’s a bigger burden than ever before,” says Progressive Conservative education critic Lisa MacLeod.

“Parents are paying over half a billion bucks out of their own pockets each year for essential learning tools.”

Bake sales, car washes and pizza lunches generate tens of millions of dollars in fundraising that is supposed to enrich – not replace – public funding. And “the amount of extra monies that are being raised for school purposes is steadily increasing,” the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association says.

“The trend is undeniable.”

Parents do “have a role to play in actually augmenting the school budget,” says Annie Kidder, executive director of People for Education, a parent-led advocacy group.

But she believes the education system is taking advantage of parents’ willingness and ability to be involved, assuming they will always be there to put in that extra time and money.

Many parents agree.

School boards know parents will fundraise, says Oshawa dad Steve Rockbrune, who believes parents will work hard to give their kids the best they can provide. “That’s why they put the squeeze on us.”

Rockbrune was surprised when his daughter, who attends Harmony Public School, came home at the start of the year with a note requesting donations of Kleenex and glue, basic classroom staples.

Parents say drumming up dollars isn’t the most popular task.

LOTS OF WORK

“Nobody really ever wants to take on the job of fundraising because it’s a lot of work,” says Catherine Scott, fundraising committee co-chair at Roch Carrier Elementary School in Ottawa.

“And yet we need classroom resources; we need new technology; we need to keep our school grounds up; spend money on paint for hopscotch and four square in the play6

ground – and there’s no money in the school budget for those things.”

As of March, Ottawa’s Broadview Public School had raised more than $116,000 through an e-waste drop-off, magazine fundraiser, letter drive, movie night, and pizza and sub lunches for a complete yard renewal. The previous school council set aside $30,000 and the school received a number of corporate donations, including three $10,000 contributions.

With a goal of $150,000, the school council hopes to purchase two new play structures to replace the current unsafe playground and create an outdoor learning classroom for the school of more than 800 students.

Many parents say they are feeling the pinch with schools continually asking for more

“(Fundraising initiatives) are constant and frequent. It puts an unrealistic expectation on parents and family and the community.”

GREG WEILER

money.

It can seem endless, says Greg Weiler, a father of two at the primary level and local president for the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) in Waterloo.

“I can’t think of a week where there isn’t some fundraising initiative going on. They are constant and frequent,” Weiler says.

“It puts an unrealistic expectation on parents and family and the community.”

NDP education critic Peter Tabuns believes the government relies on parents to fundraise.

“You almost think they quietly approve. This is a way of reducing the pressure on them for proper funding of education. Leave it to the parents. The parents will raise the money and won’t squawk about the fact that their school isn’t getting enough. Life goes on. But it means a lot of children get shortchanged.”

The ETFO says school fundraising lets the provincial government “shirk” its responsibility to properly fund schools and puts pressure on everyone in the system.

Nepean-Barrhaven EMC - Thursday, June 14, 2012

“The funds have to come from somewhere,” says Durham ETFO local president Gerard O’Neill. “People have to go out and raise them.”

O’Neill says filling this funding gap often comes down to teachers, many of whom end up paying for essential classroom items, such as pencils and paper, out of their own pocket.

NEW WAYS

Some manage the entire fundraising procedure, which takes time away from their Number 1 priority – teaching.

School councils are constantly finding new ways to raise money.

At Terry Fox Public School in Ajax, school community council chair Sandra Fletcher has become familiar but not quite comfortable with soliciting friends and family.

“The SCC relies on parents and grandparents and sisters and uncles and cousins,” she says.

This has been the case since the school opened its doors 10 years ago. The gym didn’t have a sound system and the library didn’t have enough books. After years of fundraising to add these items, Fletcher said she’s found parents have reached fundraising fatigue.

“I actually think there’s a lot of pressure on the parents, and we, in the last four or five years, have tried consciously not to put that pressure on the parents,” she says, adding a dance-a-thon and pizza lunches make up most of the fundraising.

The school council of St. Patrick’s Catholic High School in Ottawa doesn’t do any fundraising for the school.

Instead, it lets the students decide how to raise funds and how to use the money.

“It’s hard to get volunteers, so it would fall on a few people’s shoulders,” says Joanne MacEwan, chair of the school council and co-chair of the Catholic School Parents’ Association.

Leaving it up to the students teaches them responsibility and keeps parents from burning out, MacEwan says.

But there is a limit, she adds.

“Sometimes it can be too much. We caution all our school councils – make sure you go to your community and make sure that you’re getting a feel for how they’re feeling about fundraising.”

However, not everyone agrees that the problem is a funding shortfall. Joe Allin,

Jason Scott hefts electronic waste into a dumpster. More schools are turning to fundraisers where parents don’t have to spend any money as a way to combat fundraising fatigue. For an e-waste drop off, schools receive $185 per tonne. chair of the Durham District School Board, believes current government funding is sufficient and that fundraising is a long-standing practice that will take place no matter what.

“I’m not convinced it’s associated with need,” Allin says. “That isn’t to say there aren’t needs. I’d say this activity would go on regardless of the level of funding that comes into the schools.”

SENSE OF CONNECTION

Fundraising is a way for parents to be active and feel like they’re contributing to their child’s school, says Kidder, of People for Education.

“I think it’s a really nice, understandable way to be involved in our kids’ school.”

The types of fundraisers being held, the amounts raised and the items bought differ across the province: • In Woodbridge, St. Clare Catholic School, located in a well-to-do neighbourhood, spent funds on school improvements, arts enrichment, security cameras and healthyliving initiatives such as yoga

in recent years, according to a school council letter to the community.

“Fundraising is so important to our school,” said the school council. “Through it, our children are able to access many enhanced resources and programs that only serve to enrich their educational experience at school.”

• Rosebank Road Public School in Pickering purchased 11 fans for the school at a cost of $497.08 in 2010-11.

• At Holy Cross Catholic School in the Dufferin-Peel Catholic board, the council spent $800 on fans for a portable.

There’s no cut-and-dried answer to the pitfalls of fundraising. Sheila Perry spent 30 years working in the education sector in a variety of roles, including principal, teacher, educator, consultant and administrator. With a broad perspective on fundraising from within the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, she says the issue of private dollars funding public education remains a dilemma.

“That’s the key, it’s a public system,” says Perry, who

is now retired. “The key is to offer things across the board, an equal opportunity as much as you can. The dilemma becomes when you just can’t or the price is too prohibitive.

That’s where you get into the fundraising.”

Muddying the issue further is determining the must-have items. For example, the Ministry of Education doesn’t consider technology an essential item for schools. In fact, it slashed the budget for that line item by $25 million for the 2011-12 school year.

In turn, the Ministry’s guidelines deem it acceptable for schools to acquire technology with fundraised dollars.

But some in the education sector believe technology is indeed a necessity.

“We can’t go to our parent councils or school councils and keep asking for money for what could arguably be described as a 21st-century learning tool in public education,” says Catherine Fife, president of Ontario Public School Boards’ Association.

“So let’s find creative ways to address that funding shortfall and not go to fundraising.”

Award created to celebrate committment to city Honour to be bestowed next fall Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A new major award, the Order of Ottawa, was approved by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive committee last week.

The new award would honour â&#x20AC;&#x153;those who have excelled in their ďŹ eld and have made exceptional contributions to life in the city,â&#x20AC;? a city report states.

The creation of the order was approved by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ nance and economic development committee, the de facto executive committee, on June 5.

The award would honour those who have contributed to city life in the areas of arts and culture, business, community service, education, public service, labour, communications and media, science, sports and entertainment or other ďŹ elds of endeavour that beneďŹ t the residents of Ottawa.

Nominees must be current residents of Ottawa who have made a signiďŹ cant contribution through their professional achievements and cannot be elected ofďŹ cials (municipal, provincial or federal) current-

ly in ofďŹ ce.

The title is intended to â&#x20AC;&#x153;convey the nature of the award as one of importance and prestige based on meritorious service,â&#x20AC;? according to a city report.

The current list of major city awards includes: the key to the city (currently the most prestigious award), which has been in existence since 1937; the City Builder Award, established by Watson after the 2010 election; and Freedom of the City, which is awarded to a military unit and has been handed out by the city ďŹ ve times since 2002.

The city also has the Brian Kilrea Award for excellence in coaching amateur sports, which was previously bestowed as part of Civic Appreciation Awards. The report recommends that the Brian Kilrea Award be handed out as part of the Order of Ottawa awards ceremony. That ceremony and a reception for the honouree would take place each autumn.

The Order of Ottawa program will replace the Civic Appreciation Awards program and take over its $25,000 annual budget.

OPINION EDITORIAL

City should ban bags to ease trash troubles

O

nly in Toronto you say?

Pity.

Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s city council set the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood to boil last week by voting for a ban on plastic bags.

Toronto is by no means the first North American city to say no to plastic bags â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Fort McMurray, Alta., San Francisco, Seattle and Los Angeles have all banned plastic bags.

The City of Ottawa should consider adding its name to

the list of cities attempting to deal responsibly with their municipal waste.

Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bag ban started out as a debate over an unpopular five-cent fee for every plastic bag charged by retailers.

Sound familiar?

Mayor Rob Ford managed to convince council to scrap the fee, but was flummoxed, when Coun. David Shiner â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a member of the Ford inner circle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; proposed an outright ban on plastic bags.

Shiner later said the idea for the bag ban came to him mid-debate, but nevertheless his colleagues on council lined up behind the idea.

One of the largest issues on Ottawa councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plate over the past decade has been what to do about the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landfill problem.

Councillor after councillor and mayor after mayor tells us the city wants to move to more sustainable forms of managing municipal waste, but then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reminded

about the need to find somewhere to store our garbage.

If we want to move away from landfills, we have to reduce our environmental footprint and getting rid of non-biodegradable products like plastic bags is a good first step.

When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tossed into a landfill, plastic bags have the staying power of an Energizer bunny.

If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use them, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to manufacture them and ultimately,

scrap them.

If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re serious about moving away from landfills, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eliminating the tons of plastic that end up in our city dumps be a great first, second and third step?

The cost?

Shoppers will have to bag their groceries in paper (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been done before), cardboard boxes and using Green boxes and cloth bags.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already being charged a nickel a bag by many retailers for every

plastic bag we use, so maybe we spend that money more wisely on a paper bag instead.

Or dare we suggest â&#x20AC;Ś keep the nickels in our pockets and carry our groceries home in reuseable bags and boxes?

Ottawa council should at least take a look at the idea â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not shy away from it over fear of a potential public backlash.

Hopefully, after sober discussion and debate, council will decide that saving our environment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and millions in taxes pumped into waste management â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is definitely â&#x20AC;&#x153;their bag.â&#x20AC;?

COLUMN

More sleep, less duty free CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

T

he idea of abolishing duty-free shopping came, as great ideas often do, during sleep.

Well, not exactly during sleep. It was at the moment of being awakened from sleep. Precisely, it was during the captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s booming announcement that woke up certain people who were trying desperately to grab 40 winks while sitting upright in cramped conditions on an international flight. Just when success seemed to be attained and restful dreams arrived, a loud and authoritative voice jolted certain people with the news that attendants would be coming through the cabin offering duty-free bargains.

Thanks a lot, captain. And then suddenly came the memory of another international flight when attendants were walking through the cabin hawking their cheap cigarettes, eau de toilette and champagne at 3 a.m., local time, somehow oblivious to the fact that some of the passengers who emplaned at midnight, local time, might need some shut-eye. There is, clearly, something about passengers sleeping that triggers the duty-free mechanism.

Understandably, this would get one to thinking, perhaps somewhat emotionally, about the concept of duty-free shopping. Why do we have it anyway? What purpose does it serve?

And would abolishing it do any real harm?

Duty-free shops were obviously started to give people something to do at airports other than looking for a place to sit that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t occupied by that guy over there who has luggage spread over three seats.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long time ago that it started, but some-

body obviously thought that having a place to shop duty-free would give people an incentive to spend money at the airport. Later, it may have been thought that the presence of a dutyfree shop might give people a reason to choose one airport over another. Perhaps it did not occur to anyone that people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really choose airports. The main incentive to visit, say, Ottawa airport is that the plane goes from there.

Then duty-free stores spread to passenger ships, parts of the world that were not airports, and onto the plane itself, with the unfortunate consequences that we have seen.

Whether it is intended or not, the duty-free shop, particularly the one in the airport and the one on the plane, gives preferential treatment to travellers as opposed to those who stay at home. Many things are wrong with this.

On the environmental side, those who stay home are doing more for the planet than those who get onto airplanes or drive cars to the nearest border. And what do those non-travellers get for their services to the environment? They get to pay taxes when they buy cognac, perfume and four-foot-long Toblerone bars.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another issue: the reverse income redistribution effect, as those of us who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t studied economics like to call it. Citizens who can partake of foreign travel are generally wealthier than citizens who cannot. Yet it is they who get to avoid the duty. Of course, they are not the only wealthy people in the world who get tax breaks, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it right that they can get a deal on a bottle of Clicquot Ponsardin or get a free signature hockey puck with their purchase of Wayne Gretzky Icewine while we mortals are paying HST on a Diet Pepsi and some Cheez Doodles.

Another point: Our governments at all levels are struggling with budget deficits. Yet hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a source of revenue that is cut off from them. Imagine how quickly budgets would be balanced if everybody who bought cognac, tan maximizer and syrup in a jar shaped like a maple leaf had to pay tax on it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all good and that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even count the part about people sleeping better on airplanes.

Partnership takes root at community garden Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The first seeds of a partnership between a local community garden and the Ottawa Food Bank were planted on June 4.

The Nepean Allotment Gardens Association and the Debra Dynes Family House announced a partnership has taken root.

Through the Ottawa Food Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Plant a Row, Grow a Row program, the community garden will provide a weekly donation to the food bank outlet at Debra Dynes.

Barbara Carroll, the executive director of the family house, said that their food bank outlet serves 1,200 people a month, without about two-thirds coming from the Merivale-Viewmount area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a really great program because so much of the food people donate has to have a shelf life but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always the healthiest option,â&#x20AC;? she said at the June 4 annoucement.

Mike Chebbo, chair of the allotment association, said there is often a lot of leftover produce come harvest time and it makes sense to donate that to those in need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always have an end of the season harvest and people always plant too much of things like tomatoes, so there is a lot left over,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The food bank program to encourage community gardeners, residents and farmers to donate a portion of their produce during the growing season is a national effort that has grown in popularity over the last couple of years according to community harvest co-ordinator for the Ottawa

EMC news – Dulux added a little colour to the lives of the residents of Morrison Gardens residents on June 9, thanks to a community initiative.

The initiative – called Let’s Colour – donates paint and labour to deserving community buildings, schools, libraries and other institutions globally.

Dan Battistella, a regional sales manager for Dulux, said Morrison Gardens Community House was the first project in Ottawa.

“It’s amazing what a new coat of paint can accomplish,” he said. “It really brightens things up.”

Battistella said the crew of about14 got started at 9 a.m. and were finished by 2 p.m.

the same day.

They painted the floor in the basement, where the local food bank operates. They also painted the kitchen, the offices upstairs and the space for the homework club.

Morrison Gardens resident Penny Knox had been campaigning for a couple of weeks leading up to the painting, trying to get people to help clear

out the files, furniture and supplies to make way for the painting crew.

“There are so many great programs that operate out of the community house,” she said. “It will be nice to see people working in a nice, bright space.”

The residents chose the paint colours and Battistella

said independent contractors volunteered their time after hearing about the plans through the various stores while buying supplies.

“We had some patchwork and stuff to do, so it was great having that expertise,” he said.

Watson said the homework club, the United Sisters – which provides recreational programming to young women in low-income neighbourhoods, the local food bank and all the other projects that operate out of the building should be pleased with the renovated space.

“It’s a great example of a community engagement,” he said.

Ward 22 Update

Fake ‘beach’ to pop up beside canal Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge Update I am pleased to announce that the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge construction is resuming shortly after the recent announcement that Horseshoe Hills Construction Inc. has been awarded the contract to complete the bridge construction. As you may recall, the original contractor went into receivership and the bond company was tasked to find a replacement. I would like to thank everyone for their support and kind words of encouragement during this time.

Please visit my website at www.SteveDesroches.ca for regular updates on the bridge and other community news.

Chapman Mills Pedestrian Pathway Connection Update As you may recall, the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation (RVCF) was recently announced as a $30,000 grant winner by Molson Coors through their Community Cheer contest held earlier this year. The grant will go towards the installation of a pedestrian bridge in Barrhaven’s Chapman Mills Conservation Area to bring year-round access to the trails within the Conservation Area. I was happy to be available to help RVCF Chair Jason Kelly accept the cheque from Kyle Robertson of Molson Coors on Thursday, June 7th at the Conservation Area.

I would like to thank Jason Kelly for leading the charge to secure this important funding. Jason worked very hard to help get in the votes needed to lock in this funding. I would like to thank him for his time and energy put into this project for our community.

Barrhaven Takes a Bite out of Breast Cancer I would like to congratulate The Sue-Vivors team for their fundraising efforts this past week through the first annual ‘Barrhaven Takes a Bite out of Breast Cancer’ fundraiser.

Thanks to the participation of Broadways, The Works and Boston Pizza, a portion of each dinner purchased between 4pm and 9pm on Thursday, June 7th was given to the team as a donation towards their fundraising efforts for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s CIBC Run for the Cure.

EMC news - A gourmet food truck, reading garden, temporary “beach” and more will pop up along the Rideau Canal this summer.

It’s part of a new effort by the National Capital Commission to provide more attractions to “animate” the canal, a UNESCO World Heritage site that’s already a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.

But this summer, there will be a bit more to see, eat and do along the canal.

The NCC sought some innovative ideas to add more interest to the popular outdoor feature and while it isn’t funding the five projects it chose, it’s allowing them to use NCC land to make their ideas come to life.

NCC chief executive Marie Lemay applauded the creativity of the 42 proposals the five winners were chosen from, calling their architects “creative entrepreneurs and city builders.”

It’s a new idea for the NCC and “a bit of a risk,” Lemay said, but if the projects are successful they could continue for another two years.

READING GARDEN

The initiative launched on June 7 at the Capital Reading Garden, one of the five winning ideas. It was hatched

by Old Ottawa East resident Mary Beth Baker, who worked on the proposal as part of her Master of library and information studies degree in 2009.

The garden is located just south of the Corkstown footbridge near the University of Ottawa, on the east side of the canal.

BEACH AND MORE

Laura Mueller

Richard Akerman, Mary Beth Baker and Amie Baker take in some of the books and newspapers available in their open-air library, the Capital Reading Garden. The garden is part of a new National Capital Commission initiative to add more attractions to the Rideau Canal.

It’s a simple concept based on the Bryant Park Reading Room in New York. Baker’s non-profit group, the Capital Community Reading Garden, purchased about a dozen moveable chairs and some reading materials thanks to a $1,000 grant from the Ottawa chapter of the Awesome Foundation. The chairs will be set up and accompanied by a volunteer one weekend per month, July through September. People can stop by to relax in the shade, grab a book, magazine or newspaper or take advantage of the garden’s free Wi-Fi Internet.

Baker said she wanted to provide a more passive activity for people to enjoy along the canal, which is lined with multi-use pathways usually packed with runners and cyclists.

Baker said she hopes to continue the garden in the location for another two years, pending funding. Although not yet on the horizon, she said other areas in the city, such as the new William Street pedestrian area in the ByWard

Thai-inspired delights await at a new gourmet food truck surrounded by patio seating in the shadow of the new Ottawa Convention Centre.

Sachin Anand of LeBreton Flats and Jason Victor of Nepean are calling it Pop-Up Patio and hope to feature a rotating menu of south-Asian and Middle-Eastern inspired dishes created in conjunction with chef Dung Lee, who runs a Thai soup truck at Lisgar and Elgin streets in Centretown.

Sample dishes on launch day included a middle-eastern Kafka burger, Thai green curry jumbo shrimp on rice, a Vietnamese pork sub, short ribs and green curry poutine.

That will be welcome news to Ottawa foodies, who often moan that Ottawa’s foodtruck licensing system is too

Another food offering is more familiar and sure to cool down parched canal-goers: four ice-cream trucks will be stationed along the canal, most likely at the University of Ottawa, near the Laurier Bridge, at Dow’s Lake and perhaps near Pretoria Bridge, said Beverly Vanderschoot, who owns Iceco Ltd. with her husband, in the Trainyards area.

The carts will operate on weekends only until midJune, when they will be out every day of the week.

One of the ice cream carts will likely be stationed near a makeshift beach on the north side of the Corkstown Bridge, also near the university.

Dubbed “Rideau Beach and 8 Locks Flat,” the temporary beach will be modeled after an urban beach created on the shores of the Seine in Paris each summer.

It will operate daily from June until October and visitors will likely have a chance to participate in activities such as yoga, beach chair and umbrella rentals and local food and drink offerings.

Community celebrates cleanup, new building Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news – Residents celebrated the end of a long road at their annual summer fun day held in QualicumGraham Park on June 9.

The community association – along with College Coun. Rick Chiarelli and Ottawa West-Nepean MP John Baird – hosted family fun and thanked a group of residents and city staff who helped clean up the contaminated site of a former school on Esquimault Avenue.

PARADE

The group kicked off the day with a parade in front of the empty lot where the school once stood, and ended at the new community building in Nanaimo Park.

Chiarelli said he remembered when he worked with the community association during one of his terms on Nepean city council to build the first community building.

“It was a bit like the Beverly Hillbillies; we discovered oil,” he said.

The effort to clean up the site lasted another decade and a half, with the city managing to get rid of only a “cup and a half” of oil, according to Chiarelli.

James Dublin, 8, sports a patriotic hat at the Qualicum Graham Park fun day held at Nanaimo Park on June 9.

Efforts culminated in 2008, when the council of the day agreed to purchase the land for $2.5 million. The

plan was to build a new community centre to house the programming that had been taking place in the vacant

school. The city also planned to resell the rest of the lot to be developed with low-profile bungalows.

Chiarelli said the community was to meet on June 13 to discuss plans for the development of the site.

“There are people who want to downsize and still stay in the community and I think this adult lifestyle development would fit that,” he said.

“And it means we no longer have to worry about a potential medium-to high-rise development going up in a neighbourhood full of twostorey homes.”

More than a dozen people, including community association president Scott Pegrum were presented with a Community Builder Award from Chiarelli’s office to thank them for their work on the plans for the cleanup and the construction of the new community building.

“It been a long road to get the community centre cleaned up and the centre built,” Pegrum said. “But I would like to thank all the people who were involved in the efforts.”

ByWard Market intoxication issues overblown: BIA Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - An analysis of activity observed by “ambassadors” in the ByWard Market last summer shows staggering percentage increases in the amount of drug and alcohol use observed, but the numbers don’t come as a surprise to the area’s merchant association.

Every summer since 1997, the city’s Market Management group and the ByWard Market Business Improvement Area hires a group of post-secondary students to fan out across the tourism and entertainment district to help out visitors, pass out information, network with merchants and keep track of “nuisance” behaviour.

Last summer, the 11 ambassadors saw a marked increase in substance abuse: observed drug use went up 1,100 per cent, while the ambassadors saw a 433 per cent increase in people consuming alcohol in the ByWard Market.

But when you look at the hard numbers, the behaviour isn’t much of a change, said Jasna Jennings, executive director of the BIA. While only four instances

of drug use were observed by ambassadors in the summer of 2010, that number jumped to 48 in 2011 – but that is still a relatively low number, Jennings said.

Thirty-two incidents of open alcohol consumption were recorded in 2011, compared to six in 2010. “…Public drug use and alcohol consumption were clearly more prevalent than during the same period last year,” states a report on the 2011 ByWard Market Ambassador Program presented to the Ottawa police services board on May 28.

In the future, the sheet ambassadors use to track interactions in the market – everything from conversations with tourists to calling the paramedics to treat a dehydrated person – will include a category to identify intoxicated people the ambassadors observe, not just the acts of drinking or doing drugs.

“You may not have seen them ingest it, but their behaviour certainly indicates they are under the influence of something,” Jennings said.

“They didn’t have any way to track that before.”

The report includes some anecdotal “notable incidents,”

including one description of an intoxicated man who became physically violent with a market vendor employee, escalating into a physical struggle between several people that ended with the intoxicated man being arrested.

While the ambassadors identified public drug use and intoxication as an issue, Jennings says member businesses and tourists she has spoken to say “nothing” about the matter.

“We don’t have people running to the hills saying ‘Oh my God, I saw an intoxicated person and the whole place is falling apart,’ ” Jennings said. “We’re really not hearing that.”

The ByWard Market’s issues with homelessness, substance abuse and mental health challenges are well documented, Jasna said, but it doesn’t mean they are increasing.

“These are people whose job is to try and observe that stuff,” Jennings said. “If they saw five people in a month, take that by 10 hours a day and 30 days in a month.”

Aggressive panhandling is still the most frequently observed negative behaviour tracked by the ambassadors.

Moms ‘pull back the sheets’ on bed wetting There is help for the common medical condition, doctor says Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC news - Set up around a mock campfire featuring a pitched tent, mothers from across the city came out to draw attention to the issue of bed wetting at Bayshore Shopping Centre on June 5. “(Bed wetting) means the kids can’t go to sleepovers or to camp in the summer, unless you’re really well prepared,” said Melina Nobert, a mother of 11 children who has experienced bed wetting issues with four of her kids.

“It’s something that’s just not talked about. But now that I’ve been talking about it with people I know, it affects most families.”

The mothers were set up at the mall to help other parents understand that bed wetting is a medical condition that can be treated, not a sign of weak parenting or the child’s fault.

They also want to remove the stigma and get parents talking about what they say is a very common issue.

“It’s embarrassing for the child and it’s embarrassing for the family,” said Nobert.

“It’s something we don’t talk about, but we should - just

knowing we’re not alone in our struggles and that we can talk about it and get some help.”

Nobert said bed wetting can affect children in a number of ways, including interfering with childhood experiences like sleepovers and camps.

It’s something that’s just not talked about.

But now that I’ve been talking about it with people I know, it affects most families.

MELINA NOBERT, MOTHER OF 11

It can also affect the child’s siblings, Nobert added.

“If two kids are invited to a sleepover at the same house, but one wets the bed, the other one can’t go either,” she said. “You can’t play favourites, but then they feel like they’re being punished because of a problem their sibling has.”

Nobert said there is help available and it’s important to talk to your family doctor.

Dr. Sidney Kardash, an

Melina Nobert was recently at Bayshore Shopping Centre bringing attention to the issue of bed wetting.

Ottawa pediatrician, said the problem is much more common than people realize.

“There are good treatment options for any child between five and six for this problem,” Kardash said.

In addition to the stigma attached to bed wetting, Kardash said, there are also misconceptions associated with it. “(Some misconceptions include) there’s something

wrong with the kidney or brain,” he said, adding that one of the bigger issues is people just don’t want to talk about it.

Kardash said that parents should see a doctor if the bed

wetting persists until a child is about five or six yearsold.

“Help is there, and it should be tried because you’ve got nothing to lose,” he said.

Lynwood kicks off Neighbourhood Watch program Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news – Lynwood Manor residents now have a new Neighbourhood Watch sign to proudly call their own.

The sign, unveiled during a celebration and community yard sale at Williams Park on June 9, is the result of work since November to get enough volunteers to form a watch.

“Now that they have the right number of volunteers, the challenge will be to keep everyone in community engaged and communicating,” College Coun. Chiarelli said.

Community policing officer Cst. Karin Montague met with residents in November to help with initial setup and explain the role of the volunteers.

The meeting in November took place after a rash of vandalism and petty crimes prompted calls from residents for better crime prevention.

Chiarelli said neighbourhood watches in other areas of the ward have been successful and it’s all about being a good neighbour and reporting anything out of place.

Neighbourhood Watch is a program to help neighbours watch out for neighbours.

It aims to get citizens involved in discouraging and preventing crime at the local level. The ultimate success of Neighbourhood Watch depends largely on a commit-

Technical issues delay Presto launch Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

to get the ďŹ x overnight on June 7. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re conďŹ dent the Presto system will work in the City of Ottawa and that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be in full deployment of the system within the next weeks,â&#x20AC;? McCuaig said.

Deans has asked for a status update from Metrolinx in 10 days to see if the ďŹ xes are working.

She said she believes OC Transpo customers will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;well servedâ&#x20AC;? by the new Presto system once the technical issues are resolved.

Until then, riders should continue using regular bus passes, tickets and cash as usual.

Initial discussions are leading towards Metrolinx being on the hook for any additional costs for the delay and technical ďŹ xes, Deans said, but which party will cover possible cost overruns is not ďŹ nalized.

The city was hoping to give away 200,000 free Presto cards starting June 10 as an incentive to use the system. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same number of Presto users across nine different transit systems in the GTA and Hamilton, McCuaig said.

EMC news - The launch of the Presto smart card system for bus fares is being delayed, possibly until Aug.1, after a series of technical issues were discovered.

The new payment system wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be launched until the issues are resolved and there is no ďŹ rm date, said transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans. She added, however, that she could â&#x20AC;&#x153;imagineâ&#x20AC;? a revised Presto card rollout date of July 8, with the system going live for all users on Aug. 1, a month later than anticipated.

Cards were supposed to be released on June 10 and were to begin being used on July 1, but a two-month pilot run has revealed widespread issues with a new type of card reader installed on several hundred OC Transpo buses as part of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;friends and familyâ&#x20AC;? pilot project.

While Presto is in use in several cities in southern Ontario including Toronto, Ottawa is the ďŹ rst city to

roll out a â&#x20AC;&#x153;new generationâ&#x20AC;? system.

People involved in the pilot project have been getting error messages when they tap their cards on the readers to pay their bus fare, while others are reporting that the cards arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognizing when the user tops them up with more value.

Those issues were enough to make the city put the brakes on the Presto launch with a hastily called press conference on June. 7. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let me be clear, our customers are our priority and the reality is, the Presto product is not ready,â&#x20AC;? said Deans, who is also the councillor for Gloucester-Southgate Ward.

Deans stressed that OC Transpo is simply a customer buying a product from Metrolinx, so the problem lies with Metrolinx, the provincial agency that oversees the Presto project.

A software ďŹ x was installed on 60 per cent of the several hundred buses on which Presto readers are being tested, said Bruce McCuaig, president and CEO of Metrolinx.

The rest of the card readers were set

Confederation High reunion in the works Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland. com

EMC news – What started as a nostalgic conversation in a bar in January has ballooned into a reunion for 200-plus Confederation High School alumni.

Robin Sinha and Garry Wentzel, who were in the class of 1977, started talking about how great it would be to get the old gang together again – and the rest is history.

“There had been several attempts to get together a reunion over the years but they all kind of flopped,” Sinha said, adding that the help of the organizing committee help keep it all together.

Sinha said he was amazed at first how much time could be spent reminiscing.

“At first we were going to plan a bunch of activities but they we realized that people really just wanted to get together and see how all their old classmates are doing,” he said.

Wentzel said the idea grew and grew, extending even beyond their own class.

“At first we thought maybe 40 or 50 people might show up and if all else failed and nobody showed, Robin and I would crack open a bottle

of champagne on the cafeteria stage and toast our long friendship together,” he said. “It now looks like we’ll be celebrating with over 250 friends. We couldn’t have asked for a better response.”

The doors will open on June 23 at 5 p.m. with catered food starting at 6. Sinha said there will also be a DJ there to take requests from the group’s youth.

There will be a photographer on site to take candids and a historic reunion photo near the end of the night.

Sinha said there would also be old yearbooks and a continuous slide show of old photos.

“We will have some scanned yearbooks and old photos on CDs for sale,” he said.

More than 200 people have already RSVP’d for the event, some coming from as far away as Florida.

“It’s amazing talking to some of these people, the strong bond of friendship that still exists,” Sinha said.

“Some I haven’t seen since high school but we pick up right where we left off.”

The party is set to go to 11 p.m. and tickets are $35 per person in advance or $40 at the door. For more information visit confedreunion.com.

By: Your Local Family Physiotherapy Team Are the first steps you take in the morning the most painful?

Do you experience heel pain that travels into your arches the longer you stand? Is arch discomfort keeping you from that half marathon that you so badly want to complete?

If so, you may be experiencing a painful condition called Plantar Fasciitis (PF). Plantar fascia is a thin band of connective tissue that runs from your heel bone towards the base of your toes. Plantar Fasciitis, (‘itis’ meaning inflammation) is a repetitive strain injury causing irritation of that band.

Looking for a unique summer day camp experience for your children this year?

After exercise, your muscles and tissues micro-tear and then begin to heal themselves – That is how they become stronger. Sudden increases in activity without appropriate rest prevents your body from properly healing. Other causes include: worn out footwear, flat feet or high arches, and tightness or weakness of your calf and foot muscles.

process by 1) Providing you with a home exercise program to help relieve the pain 2) Therapeutic Ultrasound, Laser, and Interferential Current 3) Hands on Manual Therapy 4) Custom Orthotics to correct any imbalances in the feet. Addressing the cause and receiving appropriate treatment will help you get rid of that annoying pain in the arch!

PF most often responds well to treatment, especially if it begins soon after the pain starts. Conservative treatment includes rest, ice, activity modification, wearing supportive shoes, and proper stretching. Visiting your local family physiotherapist can help speed up the recovery

National capital athletes capture 22 medals at track and field provincials Hannah-Kelsey Smith brings home triple jump gold Braedon Clark

YVES SIKUBWABO

four years now and most of these girls in the field are super nice,â&#x20AC;? said the Grade 12 Franco-Ouest high school student who finished in a time of four minutes, 29.11 seconds.

In an odd scheduling quirk, Galbraith received her gold medal on the grassy infield while the boys, including Sikubwabo, raced by in front of her.

Unlike his fellow Ottawan, Sikubwabo had to come from behind to capture his gold medal. As the bell rang for the final lap, Corey Bellmore of Windsor turned on the jets and opened what seemed to be an insurmountable lead over the rest of the field.

Yet that lead began to steadily dwindle as Sikubwabo made up the difference on the backstretch.

As Sikubwabo passed Bellmore in the final metres to win by .41 seconds in 3:53.08, he raised his arms in victory and allowed himself to smile.

Drenched in sweat with the gold medal hanging around his neck, he admitted after the race that it hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gone

Also an OFSAA long jump champ, John McCraeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hannah-Kelsey Smith placed fifth in the midget girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 80 metre hurdles moments before winning the triple jump. according to plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guy (Bellmore) just broke away and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh my God, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to catch him,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Sikubwabo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the last 200 metres, he kind of slowed down, so I kept pushing until I caught him.â&#x20AC;?

Galbraith capped an incredible weekend by winning gold in the 800-metre race on Sunday, while Sikubwabo finished second in the 3,000metres.

There were four other double-medallists from Ottawa schools at OFSAA, with two of the most eye-popping results coming from Grade 9 athletes.

Just minutes after earning a fifth-place result in the midget girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 80-metre hurdles, John McCraeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hannah-Kelsey Smith blew away the field in the triple jump, leaping 11.59 metres â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a comfortable .4 metres ahead of second place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal was to beat my sister when she was my age,â&#x20AC;? highlighted Smith, who also won the long jump handily with a 5.18-metre mark.

The high school freshmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OFSAA-winning triple jump was .27 metres ahead of the midget mark set by her sister.

St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shermar Paul made a big impression in Brockville, taking home the midget boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 100-metre crown.

Despite feeling he had a poor start caused by crowd noise, Paul won easily and recorded a personal-best time of 11.05 seconds.

Also turning heads both for his ability and his size was Mother Teresaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eddie Ekiyor, who high jumped 1.90 metres to win gold at the midget boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; level.

EMC news - The Ottawa Catholic School Board will be appointing a new trustee for Zone 5 Beacon-Hill-Cyrville/Innes following the death of trustee Katalin Sheskay on May 17, the board announced.

The decision was announced on June 4. The board has 90 days from that date to make the appointment.

According to the Education Act, the board had two options available to ďŹ ll the position: conduct a byelection or make an appointment through an application process.

Sheskay was ďŹ rst elected in 2006, and ran uncontested in the October 2010 election.

Despite being acclaimed, Sheskay said she felt privileged to hold her position and made a point of placing â&#x20AC;&#x153;thank youâ&#x20AC;? stickers on all her campaign signs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was extremely honoured when I found out I was acclaimed and I wanted to thank my constituents for continual support,â&#x20AC;? Sheskay said at the time.

An active member of four

board committees, Sheskay also sat on the board of directors for the Catholic Education Foundation of Ottawa and was a strong supporter and fundraiser for The Waupoos Foundation.

The trustee position has been advertised on the Ottawa District Catholic School boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website.

In order to be eligible, candidates must be a resident of the Beacon-Hill-Cyrville/ Innes area, a Canadian citizen, be at least 18 years old, a Roman Catholic and qualiďŹ ed to vote for members of the Ottawa Catholic District School Board. Candidates must be available to serve on the board until Nov. 30, 2014.

Applications must be submitted no later than 10 a.m. on Monday, June 18. The application form is available on the school boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.ottawacatholicschools. ca.

The remaining board trustees will interview applicants at a public meeting on June 27 at 7 p.m. and the successful candidate will be sworn in at the same meeting.

Seniors gathered at Ben Franklin Place on June 8 to celebrate Seniors Month with a Wellness 101 presentation. They heard from Kevin Willis of the Canadian Stroke Network and author Lyndsay Green. The current population of seniors in Ottawa is 12 per cent, but it is expected to grow to 25 per cent by 2025. Ottawa is working towards having age friendly city status from the World Health Organization.

OLDER ADULT ACTION PLAN The City of Ottawa is currently in the process of developing an Older Adult Plan with the goal of effectively serving and being responsive to the needs of older adults now and in the future.

The City of Ottawa invites older adults to provide feedback on a draft Older Adult Action Plan that was created based on ďŹ ndings from the fall 2011 consultations with older adults. The input collected will help prioritize and reďŹ ne the actions before the plan is presented to Council in the fall 2012.

Choir of orphaned Ugandan children perform Adam Feibel

EMC news - A full house at Bridlewood Community Church of the Nazarene took to singing, clapping and even a bit of dancing along to the traditional and joyful sights and sounds of Africa.

The Watoto Children’s Choir performed and spread the word of Jesus through their uplifting songs and stories May 24 at the church on Stonehaven Drive.

This is the first tour for the 21 Ugandan children in the choir, which has taken them around Canada for the last five months.

Not only does the choir allow the children to travel and perform across the globe, it also acts as the face of Watoto, a holistic care program founded in 1994 by Gary and Marilyn Skinner through the Watoto Church in Kampala, Uganda.

The program was created in response to the overwhelming number of orphaned children and vulnerable women in Uganda and acts by rescuing a child and raising each one as a leader in their chosen sphere of life so that they in turn will rebuild their nation, according to the Watoto website.

The choir presents those ideologies through colourful song and dance and reflects

they thank Jesus for giving them a way out.

Kimera explained that the choir’s message extends twofold: it’s about how the organization has accomplished everything from the help of Jesus, he said, and about letting people know how they can get involved with Watoto.

“The choir provides us a great avenue for telling people about the situation and for raising awareness,” he explained.

What the audience saw that evening was a whole different group of children than it was six months ago.

BIG CHANGES

“They realize they’re very important. It’s built their con-

fidence. It’s an amazing thing to see,” Sam Kimera said in an interview prior to the concert.

The choir leader had been sleeping on a couch in the

church, resting up for the show following a long ride on the Watoto tour bus.

“Deep down they get to realize that they can be something great, beyond their

tough past,” he added. These are pasts that hold stories of poverty, hunger and loss.

Throughout the concert, the children told their own personal stories and about how

“If you’d seen them then,” Kimera said. “You probably wouldn’t believe it.”

He and the rest of the choir have been together for almost a year now.

The group seen performing at Bridlewood had spent five months training and another five months on the road.

They’ll spend another month travelling and performing before handing the reigns over to a new set of Watoto children.

The BCCN performance was the first of the Watoto Children’s Choir’s five Ottawa stops that weekend, with another at the Kanata Pentecostal Church on May 27.

Alcohol, Twins and more gather in Nepean park boating can be deadly Karen Turner and Ambereen Rahim

Even canoeing while impaired can mean charges EMC news - Boating is a great way to spend a summer afternoon, especially with family and friends. A carefree atmosphere is just made to have fun and party.

However, this partying should never include drinking alcohol. Mixing alcohol and boating can have tragic consequences.

When the Canadian Safe Boating Council and SmartBoater.ca speak to Canadian boaters each year during Safe Boating Awareness Week, and throughout the entire boating season about the dangers of alcohol and boating, there is no gentle way to say it. Being impaired while operating a boat can cost you thousands of dollars, or worse, turn a fun day into a deadly outing.

Federal statutes dictate that, whether or not your craft is motorized, you can be charged with impaired operation of a vessel under the Criminal Code if your blood alcohol level exceeds the .08 threshold. That means you can be charged even if you are impaired while operating a canoe and a judge can, upon conviction, suspend your boating privileges, but it can get worse.

Many provinces have enacted additional legislation to curb the practice of drinking and boating. In Ontario for example, Bill 209 amended the Highway Traffic Act to also apply to “anyone operating or having the care or control of a vessel.” As such, anyone found boating with a blood alcohol level above .05, faces an on-the-spot drivers’ licence suspension.

That’s right: you can lose your automobile driver’s licence and should your blood alcohol concentration exceed .08.

If that’s not a sufficient deterrent, add the financial impact of court and legal fees, alternative transportation for the year, and potential loss of employment if driving is an essential component of your job.

But many impaired boaters are not stopped before something even worse happens.

The Canadian Safe Boating Council completed a survey that identified in nearly 40 per cent of boating-related deaths, alcohol was a factor and 23 per cent of the cases involved alcohol above the legal limit.

If you drink, don’t drive your boat.

For more information on safe and responsible boating practices visit Canada’s educational boating website at www.smartboater.ca.

On a recent Saturday morning, residents walking through Andrew Haydon Park in Ottawa’s west end did a double take. Under sunny skies, families of twins and triplets could be seen in the park sharing some laughs, conversation, and time together.

May 28 is National Multiple Births Awareness Day in Canada. To celebrate, the Multiple Birth Families Association of Ottawa/Gatineau (MBFA) hosted a party in Andrew Haydon Park with cake and balloons. Mayor Jim Watson, was on hand to officially proclaim May 28 as National Multiple Birth Awareness Day in Ottawa.

The day is meant to raise awareness of the unique issues faced by multiple birth individuals and their families.

May 28 has special significance as it is the birth date of the Dionne quintuplets. Born in 1934, the Dionne girls brought forward some of the issues associated with having

more than one baby at a time.

The MBFA is in its 51st year of supporting families as they navigate the tricky road of multiple births.

TWINS OR MORE

Whether its twins, triplets or higher order multiples, the support received from fellow “multiple parents” is invaluable. The MBFA offers prenatal classes, semi-annual consignment sales, phoneline support, social events, as well as play groups for children and nights out for the parents.

Feeding, diapering, comforting and transporting two or more babies is a daunting task. So is finding affordable childcare for multiples.

Under Canadian law, parents of multiples get one year of parental leave. As a result, one parent tends to delay their return to work due to the increased financial burden of having multiples.

Despite the many challenges of raising multiples, any

OC Transpo cuts hydro costs with lighting retrofit

R0011445245

ARTS & CULTURE

Bryce Conrad, Hydro Ottawa’s President and CEO, presents a cheque to Jim Greer of OC Transpo, Mayor Jim Watson and Councillor Diane Deans.

With the help of the Hydro Ottawa Group of Companies, OC Transpo has cut its lighting costs by 43 percent at its St. Laurent garage.

Jay Anderson is one of the artists from the Ottawa 8 whose work will be featured as part of the group’s Ottawater exhibit.

Cube highlights Ottawa’s waterways Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - Serene images of Ottawa’s various waterways will be on display at Cube Gallery until July 1 in an exhibit called Ottawater.

“Ottawa exists because of water,” said Don Monet, owner of the Cube Gallery in Wellington West. “We should be thinking about water and its importance.”

Monet said the exhibit coincides with Canada Rivers Day, which was observed on June 10. On that day, the gallery teamed up with the Ottawa Riverkeepers, hosting a free talk by members of the organization at the gallery.

“It’s a gallery, but we want to give back to the community as much as possible,” said Monet.

The group putting on the exhibit, the Ottawa 8, have featured their work at the gallery before, during shows such as Ottawa Alleyways and Champlain Lookout.

The group initially started in the mid-1970s under a different name and evolved over time when it lost some members and gained new ones.

Jay Anderson, one of the members featured in the exhibit, has been with the group for about 10 years and said the group enjoys painting local scenery.

She said the serenity of the

pieces in the water exhibit reflect how the artists felt when they were painting it.

“We love the landscape and love watching it,” Anderson said. “Hopefully if you look at this exhibit, it’s a happy, serene and meaningful exhibit.”

When people see the art, Anderson said she hopes they walk away with a greater appreciation of what the city offers in terms of beautiful landscape.

“People take it for granted,” she said. “People should have access to (these scenes).”

Monet said he hopes people walk away with a message about the importance of the environment and keeping Ottawa’s waterways clean.

“This water is precious, and Ottawa shouldn’t take it for granted,” Monet said.

Anderson, who lives along the Rideau River, said she sees first-hand what pollution has done to the water.

While the gallery hopes to get an environmental message across, Anderson said she hopes people will connect with the paintings.

“Most of the scenes are recognizable,” Anderson said. “Anybody who comes in here will find something they like.”

Energy Ottawa performed an energy audit and implemented turnkey solutions to improve energy efficiency at the bus garage. Energy Ottawa, a subsidiary of Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc., is the City’s preferred energy management partner.

The project included replacing inefficient light fixtures and installing sensors that can turn off some lighting when the garage is not occupied.

With a return on investment of about three years, this lighting retrofit is expected to cut energy costs by more than $137,000 each year.

The new energy-efficient lamps also last more than 75 percent longer – reducing maintenance costs.

“I am very pleased to present to OC Transpo more than $95,000 in incentives through the saveONenergy Retrofit program. The program is designed to help businesses manage energy consumption and keep electricity costs lower,” said Bryce Conrad, President and CEO of Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. “It is great to be able to accept this cheque on behalf of the City of Ottawa and OC Transpo and to thank Hydro Ottawa at the same time,” said Mayor Jim Watson. “It shows what can be accomplished with teamwork as together we improve our environment and save energy and money while providing transit services to our residents.”

The St. Laurent project is the third garage lighting retrofit that Energy Ottawa has completed with OC Transpo.

“Energy-saving incentives like this project helps OC Transpo become a sustainable workplace and shows that we are committed to reducing energy and maintenance costs for taxpayers,” said Transit Commission Chair, Councillor Diane Deans.

Hydro Ottawa is currently identifying new opportunities to cut energy costs for OC Transpo and the City of Ottawa in 2012.

Fisher School Trustee Zone 7 www.markďŹ sher.org

The 2012 Ottawa Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) Student Recognition Awards I would like to congratulate Steven Patterson of Osgoode Township High School who was a recipient of one of the 32 recognition awards awarded this year. Steven has served on Student Council, chaired the Annual Food Drive, been a participant in Relay for Life, participated in the 30 Hour Famine, and is an enthusiastic tutor for students struggling in math and science. Well done!

Another School Year Comes to an End Kristy Strauss

Thushar Ishwanthlal, a Grade 6 student at AcadĂŠmie de la Capitale in Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west end, shows his contribution to an end-of-the-year exhibit on childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights.

Students learn about childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC community - Students ďŹ nishing off their primary year at AcadĂŠmie de la Capitale in Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west end have learned how thankful they are to have clean water and access to education.

The bilingual school offers its International Baccalaureate Primary Years program for students aged three to 12, which encourages learning beyond the classroom. Students in the last year of the primary program focus on one overall theme and at the end of the year, show what they learned during an exhibition.

Last year students focused on the environment. This

yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class looked at different aspects of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights throughout the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes I read information that I did not expect, like how bad the mosquitoes could be,â&#x20AC;? said Ryan Zanganeh, a Grade 6 student who focused on Ethiopia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of sad for them.â&#x20AC;?

David Khazzam, a Grade 7 student, has already completed the primary years program, but came back to the exhibit to show his invention that cleans water.

When he researched and found there are 884 million people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have access to clean water, he decided he wanted to do something about it.

Thushar Ishwanthlal, a Grade 6 student who was born in South Africa, started by looking into the issue of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the numbers really surprised me and what could be prevented if each child had an education,â&#x20AC;? Thushar said.

Linda Halberstadt, a teacher at the school, said the students worked very hard for what they contributed to the exhibition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be proud,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Halberstadt said as a teacher, it was wonderful to see the students learn more about childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights around the world and access to things like clean water and educa-

tion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very proud of them,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is their project, and they worked together well. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to watch, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so involved and so enthusiastic. I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed it.â&#x20AC;?

When the students grow up, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still not completely sure what they want to be.

But they know they do want to help other people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(One of my dreams) is to be a foot doctor and help peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feet that have injuries around the world,â&#x20AC;? said Ryan.

Thushar heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really interested in science and he would like to apply that to helping others in the world.

Province expands Specialist High Skills Majors Program The Ontario government is expanding its Specialist High Skills Major program to 4,000 more students at 670 high schools across the province. Next year, 38,000 students will be able to participate in the program, which tailors their high school diploma to their interests.

It is hard to believe it, but the 2011-2012 school year is rapidly coming to an end and summer will soon be quickly upon us. Therefore, I would like to take a moment to congratulate the students, teachers and staff of Zone 7 on another successful year and I would like to give my very best to those students who are graduating from the board and moving out into the world. The OCDSB continues to be recognized as one of the best school boards in Ontario, if not Canada, and this is due in large part to the achievements of our students and the dedication and commitment of our teachers and staff. As the School Trustee for Gloucester-Southgate/Osgoode Township/Gloucester-South Nepean, it is a great privilege to serve the many diverse communities and schools that make up this part of the City. Have a safe summer!

Teen one of top three in national video contest Shaylah Mahoney creates video about living with diabetes Gabrielle Tieman

A 14-year-old Kanata girl is one of the top three contenders in the 2012 Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Video Contest.

The contest asks Canadians to create an inspiring video about people living with type 1 diabetes, educating the public about the disease.

“I don’t mind if people know if I have diabetes because it is a part of me now but sometimes I feel like it makes me stand out,” said Shaylah Mahoney. “I play a lot of soccer and even that is harder. I always have to watch my glucose when I’m playing and I have to take off my insulin pump. And if my insulin is high I can still play, but it means taking it easy and not eating any of the oranges on the sidelines.”

The video contest was created to run side by side with the 18th annual Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes, a national event run in 70 communities across the country.

For Shaylah, this walk isn’t only the way to a cure, but a door to a future.

“A cure wouldn’t give me back any of my childhood, but it would give me a future,” said Shaylah. “It would give me a future where I can get popcorn at the movies if I wanted to and live without the fear of fainting in gym class.”

Type 1 diabetes, the most severe form of the non-preventable autoimmune disease, strikes children and adults suddenly and lasts a lifetime.

40

With almost 300,000 Canadians living with this disease, Mahoney – diagnosed at the age of six – said she does not remember a time where she did not have to take a needle with every meal.

Founded in Canada in 1974, the foundation is the leading global organization and charitable supporter focused on type 1 research

“A cure wouldn’t give me back any of my childhood, but it would give me a future.”

SHAYLAH MAHONEY

– having awarded more than $1.6 billion to diabetes research globally.

An active teenager, Shaylah said she spends most of her time hanging out with friends, enjoying anything art related and playing soccer. Though diabetes has not prevented her from participating, a cure for the disease would mean no longer reminding everyone of how she is different.

Having already raised more than $600 towards her own campaign, Shaylah said the diabetes research foundation and the Telus Walk are wonderful organizations.

“I think it’s a really good way to (raise) awareness for what diabetes is,” said Shaylah.

“one step at a time,” Terry Nemeth, vice president of business at Telus, a national telecommunications company, said the walk will see over 48,000 participants and will raise “large funds” that will go straight towards helping advancements in research at the diabetes foundation.

“We expect that this year will be similar to last year, with a goal of $7.9 million,” said Nemeth. “It keeps going up every year. Even without good weather, a lot of the donations have been pledged already. The walk gets bigger every year. It’s a realistic goal – and a lot of money to a fantastic cause.”

Apart from the walk, Nemeth said there will be booths organized to show families the new technology and equipment developed to help those with diabetes as well as a barbeque after the walk.

“A lot of the people that run are families that have a child or adult in the family with diabetes,” said Nemeth.

“They are participating and showing their stories and discussing how they’re coping.”

To join the walk, visit www. jdrf.ca/walk or join walk day on June 10 in Queen Juliana Park by the Dows Lake pavilion. People can sign up individually, in teams of family and friends, or as organizational teams and walk five or 10 kilometers. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the walk begins at 10 a.m.

Shirley Seward Listening, Learning and Leading

PUBLIC SCHOOL TRUSTEE RIVER ZONE shirley.seward@ocdsb.ca

www.shirleyseward.ca 613-851-4716

WHAT A YEAR IT HAS BEEN! It is hard to believe that it is already the middle of June, and school is winding down for students. I love this time of year, when I have the privilege of attending the graduation and closing ceremonies at our schools.

These occasions bring home to me the ways in which our public schools support our students, help them grow and learn, and develop in each child a sense of pride in their accomplishments.

This year has been an especially good one, both in River Zone and the School Board as a whole. It has been a year of change and improvement. Some of the major achievements are having a very positive impact in our own schools: Kristy Strauss

Hintonburg artist Stephen Frew will have his collection of portraits on display at the Orange Gallery in an exhibit called Body of Water, running June 7 to 24.

Hintonburg artist paints portraits with a twist Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - When Stephen Frew was younger, he studied physicsat the University of Calgary.

He quickly realized it wasn’t the path he wanted to follow when he took a photography class.

“I didn’t want an office job,” said Frew, who’s now an artist living in Hintonburg. “I decided I needed to do art.”

In his second year at the university, Frew switched his studies to arts and has been drawing ever since.

Now, he has an exhibit on at the Orange Gallery until June 24 called Body of Water – which is a collection of por-

traits he drew of other local artists like Patrick John Mills and Orange Gallery owner Ingrid Hollander.

“I love portraits. People for me are the most interesting thing,” Frew said. “I love discovering shapes and lines.

For me, there’s a nice sort of juxtaposition between geometry, hard angles and shapes and organic flesh. How that goes and where they intersect interests me.”

Frew said he’s done almost 120 self-portraits, but wanted to expand to include new people who were in his life.

The show is a collection of some of the portraits he’s drawn of other artists and he said the name of the show Body of Water seemed to

make the most sense.

“I decided to do water colour for the first time,” Frew said. “And I also liked the idea of how we’re flowing into each other, and hopefully creating more energy in the Ottawa arts scene.”

He said he tries to reflect a bit of the subject’s personality in this work, but it wasn’t the goal.

It was more about the viewer discovering the person’s shapes and lines, Frew said.

“Hopefully (the personality) just came through,” he said. “It’s not deep, I’m not trying to blow away some new idea. I love lines, shapes, and a face is great for it. We stare at people’s faces all day and engage.”

While he was doing the portraits, Frew admitted he struggled with some of the work, particularly when it came to painting women. “(With Patrick John Mills), I felt I could do whatever I wanted,” he said. “But with female portraits, I worry. I don’t want to degrade on them or make them look ugly, so it holds you back and it’s very difficult. Males I have an easier time with usually.”

While he faced some challenges, Frew said he was happy with how the exhibit turned out.

“I’m really excited,” he said. “If they sell or they don’t, I don’t care because I’m super happy about it.”

On June 12, the Board of Trustees approved a budget of $794 million for 2012-2013, up about 1.7% from the current year. The budget includes increases for special education, infrastructure funding, improved transportation, and increased support for new immigrants. All of these improvements were recommended during the River Zone budget consultations I held in early April.

Trustees have approved capital expenditure for rejuvenation and renewal in two schools in River Zone: Carleton Heights and W.E. Gowling. The school councils from both schools did an excellent job helping convince Trustees that work was badly needed.

By September 2012, three schools in River Zone will have full day kindergarten: General Vanier, W.E. Gowling and Carleton Heights. In September 2014, Bayview will join the list.

Working in partnership with the School Board, the Carleton Heights Child Care Centre (CHCCC) will be providing extended day care to full day kindergarten students, as well as childcare for pre-school children and older students. The Executive Director of the Centre sits on a small working group at the Board that is helping pave the way to successful implementation of the extended day program as the roll out of full day kindergarten continues.

Over the past year I have been centrally involved in the Board’s Secondary Review, which is exploring a range of issues in high schools, including Brookfield in River Zone. We are tackling important questions such as – How do we make our schools true community hubs, serving students as well as families? Should schools be semestered? Should they be large or small? And, how do we make best use of technology and e-learning? The answers will help us make our schools leading edge learning centres.

One of the most important factors in student achievement and well-being is active parental engagement. As your Trustee, I am in awe of the parents, school councils, community organizations and immigrant groups who find the time to be actively involved in the public education system. Over the past year, people have come out to speak about childcare, special education, religious accommodation, transfer policy, mental health, inclusion, capital needs in our schools and a wide range of other issues. It is this engagement that makes my job as your Trustee such a joy.

But we must never be complacent. If one child falls between the cracks, or is struggling, or feels excluded, that is not good enough. Every child should be able to grow, to learn, and to reach their potential. Since becoming your Trustee in December 2010, I have worked with hundreds of parents whose children were facing difficulties at school. Together, we were able to make necessary changes to help these students thrive. If you have concerns, or suggestions about how we can make things better, I am only a phone call or email away.

JUNE 17 SCOTIABANK PLACE 8 A.M. TO 12 P.M.

MEET ROGER’S DREAM TEAM The Roger’s Dream Team roster consists of a group of Roger’s House children who will be spearheading the charge to encourage families, individuals, companies and organizations to participate in the annual fundraising event. To support one of these children or for event details, please visit www.sensfoundation.com or call 613-599-0323.

Alex Ferguson Alex keeps everyone loose in the dressing room. His amazing sense of humour helps when the team gets nervous before a big game.

t.

Join us at this year’s even Amanda Caceres At seven years old, Amanda is one of our seasoned veterans and brings experience to the young squad. She visits Roger’s House about every two months, especially in the spring and summer. Because she requires 24/7 care due to multiple medical issues, these respite stays provide both her and her parents some much needed rest.

Eliane Bissonnette Eliane is one of the high flyers on the team, always on the the move! At only 15 months, Eliane can be spotted scooting around on her zebra buggy or her jumperoo. She’s definitely going to be a fan favourite with our Francophone supporters as she primarily speaks French at home.

Three years ago, Alex was diagnosed with a neurological degenerative disorder that saw him go from playing soccer to being in a wheelchair. Yet this has not broken his amazing spirit.

Connor Haynes A proud member of the Dream Team, Connor brings a lot of enthusiasm to his role on the squad. A huge Senators fan, he loves when the Senators are on TV. As well as watching hockey, he also enjoys the Snoezelen Room at Roger’s House which provides many forms of sensory stimulation as a means of therapy.

Willyam Berube Willyam is one of the most spirited members of this year’s Dream Team squad. He loves to go into the corners, particularly for hugs with his loving parents and the staff and volunteers at Roger’s House.

Jaxon Elliott-Sprysa Jaxon is a big sports and movie fan. When he’s not working out with the Dream Team, he’s usually playing Wii sports like baseball and bowling, or chilling with a good Disney movie.

At 8½, Jaxon has proven that he’s a fighter. He was born premature and before he was 4, he’d spent over a year in hospital.

Jordyn Deveau-Yurich Jordyn’s positive attitude makes her a hugely valuable member of this year’s squad. She loves a challenge. Now nine, she has been getting around in her power chair since age six. Jordyn and her family benefitted from time at Roger’s House to transition from complete assistance with medical care before heading home.

Lily Beaupre

Sixteen year old Nicholas loves the excitement of the game and being on the Dream Team. Even though he requires assistance in all daily activities his thirst and love for life is abundant. His relationship with Roger’s House only started in May 2011 but both he and his family really benefit from the support.

Qavagua Tunnillie Qav is the captain of this year’s Dream Team by right of his age and his experience. A real go-getter, he has been practicing with Ottawa power wheelchair hockey players and is joining their team this year. Undaunted by his medical condition, Qav goes to St. Mark’s High School, getting himself around in an electric wheelchair.

R0011449924

Two and a half year old Lily brings a real competitive edge to her line on the team. Although she was crawling up until just before her second birthday, she is no longer able. Her parents use Roger’s House for respite which is able to provide the same around the clock medical attention they provide, and still in a home-like setting.

Westboro residents honoured for volunteer efforts Kristy Strauss

kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC community - Deb Chapman and Irmi Elbert remember a time when Clare Gardens Park in Westboro was used for drug deals, the cement pathways were cracked and dotted with pot holes, and the children’s play equipment was falling apart.

Now, about five years later, the two Westboro women have been awarded the Ontario Volunteer Service Awards for their efforts in cleaning up the park.

“We’ve both been involved in volunteer activities throughout our lives,” said Chapman, co-ordinator of the Volunteer Gardeners of Clare Park.

“It’s very sweet,” Elbert added, saying their nominator was Westboro Community Association president Gary Ludington. “Clare Gardens Park has always been the biggest project of the community association.”

Chapman and Elbert said their first task was cleaning up the park with help and support from the entire Westboro community.

Eventually the pair led initiatives to raise money for play structures. The park was even designed by a neighbour who is a professional interior designer.

Chapman said it was also important for her to have diversity of plants and trees in the park, and there was a

meeting held at attracted residents across the community.

“There were about 15 to 18 people who showed up to this tree meeting,” Chapman said, adding it’s important to have a community-first approach.

“Irmi is fantastic at desktop publishing and I write the words. And Nepean students who need volunteer hours flyer the neighbouhood, and people start yapping.”

Both Chapman and Elbert said getting youth involved in the park is especially important to them. Elbert has her sons out helping and Chapman’s eight-year-old son even gets involved.

“We want to get the young and old together,” said Elbert.

Chapman added that there’s been a push at the park to make it more senior-friendly.

“It sends a really good example for other parks, especially when there’s increased intensification,” she said, adding the park has also welcomed new creatures to the community: Westboro has its own neighbourhood bunny, residents are seeing more hawks and one visitor to the park has seen a tree toad.

The pair has also heard positive feedback from residents not just in the community, but from other areas of the city as well.

“People are coming to our park from all over,” Chapman said. “Chinatown, it’s their favourite park. We had an Ot-

the future, like having plants donated from people’s backyards and having their names displayed.

Additionally, Chapman said she’d like to

see a composting toilet on site since there aren’t bathrooms available.

Chapman and Elbert also said other communities can

have the same success as Clare Gardens Park – it just takes some effort.

“It just takes a little leadership,” Chapman said.

Ottawa’s #1 Soccer Club

OSU HIRES EVERTON FC ACADEMY COACH Brier Dodge

The Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind was a busy spot on Saturday, June 2 as visitors came to Manotick to meet service dogs and puppies and to see how they’re trained.

Guide Dogs HQ enjoys busy weekend Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - The Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind had a busy first week of June, as hundreds of visitors poured through the Manotick headquarters for Doors Open Ottawa on June 2 and dozens more returned to the village for a golf tournament on June 4.

Despite a soggy weekend, Guide Dogs communications officer Steve Doucette said the open house was chaotic on Saturday, June 2 as hundreds of people came out for tours and demonstrations at the organization’s national headquarters on Rideau Valley Drive.

The facility trains service dogs to help people with visual impairments, and clients from across the country live at the facility for up to four weeks while they train with their new dog.

Doucette said the crowds coming through the facility were chaotic, and more people than staff could count showed up throughout the day.

“It was so busy, it was unbelievable. This was steady, non-stop. We had hundreds of people waiting in line for a tour,” he said.

He attributed the open house’s popularity to the fact that the organization partnered with Doors Open Ottawa, an annual weekend that allows residents free access to significant buildings across the city, for the first time this year. Being an official destination in the Doors Open weekend promoted the event to a number of Doors Open regulars that otherwise might not have heard about the Guide Dog event.

While it was chaotic for staff and volunteers, Doucette said it was positive in terms of raising awareness about what the organization does.

“It was a positive thing from a PR point of view. I think we educated a lot of people that day,” he said.

Doucette said the Guide Dogs would like to partner with Doors Open again in the future, but it depends on the training schedule.

Sewing machine put to good use W

ith longer days on the farm at this time of year, Mother was able to make use of a few extra hours in the evening when she didn’t have to depend on the coal oil lamp for lighting.

Although she still spent time each night on her diaries at the kitchen table, she usually was able to find time to pull out the old pedal Singer sewing machine and often worked long into the night.

Of course, when it finally got too dark to see from the light of the window, she would have to move the lamp from the kitchen table to the window sill, under which sat the old sewing machine that was in the house when she moved there. Father had no idea

how long it had been there under the window, but he remembered his own mother making shirts and mending overalls on the very machine Mother was putting to use decades later.

It was this time of year that flour and sugar bags took on a whole new and different life. Mother would have been saving them since the winter before, so that she had a good supply when she got down to making them into everything from blouses for Audrey and me, aprons, tea towels, pillowcases, and even sheets.

Some she was able to buy for a few pennies at the gristmill in Renfrew and the rest came from bags of flour and sugar we bought at Briscoe’s General Store. It would take

many washings and bleachings with Javel water to try to rid the bags of their printing.

With some, it was impossible. Pride of the Valley, Red Rose and other company logos were there forever, and it wasn’t unusual for me to go off to school in bloomers that still showed Pride of the Valley firmly printed across the seat. But then, I wasn’t the only one at Northcote School who wore flour bag underwear, so there was no embarrassment for any of us girls who’s Mother had put the bags to good use.

If the Javel water didn’t totally remove the printing, which was always in bright red or a vivid blue, Mother would choose a bright warm and sunny day and spread out the bags over the grass

MARY COOK

Mary Cook’s Memories in the yard, hopeful to fade the printing further. She was only marginally successful.

On those bags, the printing was there to stay.

On the summer evenings that Mother tackled the job of turning the bags into something useful, we five children would go to bed upstairs as usual, knowing that Mother’s job would go on long into the night at the Singer sewing machine We weren’t spared our nightly prayers around her knee, however. They were as important as our final trip out to the outhouse before climbing the stairs.

I would have trouble falling asleep those nights. Not

because I found the noise of the machine irksome, but because I didn’t want to miss a moment of the sound of it. I could picture in my mind, Mother hunched over the Singer, feeding the flour bags under the foot lever that steered the needle. I could picture her slippered feet working the foot pedal, with the rubber cord that turned the sewing machine into something other than a piece of furniture that held potted geraniums when not in use. How I wished I could be downstairs in the kitchen, sitting beside her, watching her work her miracles with the flour bags.

I knew when I came

downstairs in the morning, there would be perhaps a new blouse made wearable with added red rick-rack braid around the collar and perhaps bright buttons down the front.

Or there would be a stack of fresh tea towels, waiting for my sister Audrey’s deft hand at embroidering the ends with teacups or flowers.

The biggest and the best of the bags would be saved for sheets. It would be years before I knew sheets came in one piece. Ours were made of four flour bags, sewn together, with seams going up the centre and from sideto-side.

And always there would be new and fresh pinny aprons and of course, one or two pairs of new bloomers.

Eventually sleep would overcome me. And I would doze off to the steady clickclack, click clack of the old Singer sewing machine, playing its steady tune downstairs in the kitchen.

Try your hand at making National food policy cumin-flavoured burgers needed: report

I

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to buy hamburger patties already made up, but if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to have a hamburger with more ďŹ&#x201A;avour, you might want to make your own.

By adding seasonings to ground beef, along with breadcrumbs and an egg, you can make a hamburger patty with lots of ďŹ&#x201A;avour.

Whatever seasoning you choose will add its own distinctive taste whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oregano, basil, chili powder, cumin seed, caraway seed, garlic or onion.

For the breadcrumbs, you can use dark rye, whole wheat or sourdough bread.

This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe will get you started with a cuminďŹ&#x201A;avoured mixture that makes great tasting hamburgers.

CUMIN & ONION BURGERS

PAT TREW Food â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Stuff â&#x20AC;˘ 454 grams lean ground beef â&#x20AC;˘ 1 tbsp. olive or vegetable oil â&#x20AC;˘ 1/3 cup finely minced onion â&#x20AC;˘ 1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs â&#x20AC;˘ 1 egg â&#x20AC;˘ 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce â&#x20AC;˘ 1/4 tsp. cumin seed â&#x20AC;˘ 1/4 tsp. salt In a small frying pan, cook the onion in the oil until softened.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the onion with the meat and remaining ingredients.

Lightly mix the ingredients together with either a rubber spatula or with your hands. The mixture will be messy so wear latex gloves if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using your hands.

Shape the mixture into four patties about two centimetres thick.

Handle the meat gently, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t press down on it

EMC news - As the UN special rapporteur on the Right to Food winds up his mission to Canada, Food Secure Canada is calling for a national food policy, based on the recommendations in Resetting the Table: A Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Food Policy for Canada.

Based on the input of more than 3,500 Canadians, the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food policy calls for: â&#x20AC;˘ A federal poverty prevention and elimination program, with measurable targets and

timelines. â&#x20AC;˘ A national children and food strategy, including federal support for student nutrition programs. â&#x20AC;˘ Taking immediate steps towards support for ecological and local food production and consumption, including movement on institutional procurement.

Food Secure Canada background information is posted at www.foodsecurecanada.org.

too hard. This helps to keep the mixture moist.

Cook the hamburgers over high heat on a barbecue grill or frying pan for one to two minutes per side.

Move the burgers to an area of medium heat on your barbecue, or lower the frying pan temperature to medium.

Lower the barbecue lid or place a lid on the frying pan, and cook the hamburgers for ďŹ ve to six minutes on one side.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t press them down with a spatula as this will squeeze out more moisture.

Turn the patties over, and cook, covered, for another ďŹ ve to six minutes. When done, the internal temperature of the hamburger patties should read 160 F (71 C) on a meat thermometer.

Serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings.

Help make dreams come true CHEO Foundation

With the final deadline to purchase tickets in the We All Win Lottery fast approaching, those looking to purchase a ticket have only nine days to do so before the deadline at midnight on Friday, June 22.

The top prize in the We All Win Lottery will see a new Ontario millionaire created, with the first grand prize being $1.5 million in cash. The second grand prize is the Guildcrest Pick Your Perfect Home Package, which includes a $250,000 gift certificate which the winner can use to pick their perfect home from one of 14 models from Guildcrest Homes.

Furnishing the new home will be no problem at all because the package also includes $50,000 cash and gift

cards.

There are more than 1,500 other prizes to be won, including 300 mini vacations and over $180,000 worth of gift cards.

“Ticket sales have been slower than expected and with less than 70 per cent of our tickets sold, people’s chances to win have never been better,” said Kevin Keohane, chief operating officer of the CHEO Foundation.

“We hope that this fact combined with the upcoming final deadline will encourage more people to buy and help us get to the level of ticket sales that will truly make a difference for the patients at the Ottawa Hospital and CHEO.” Proceeds from the lottery will stay in Ottawa and

help the Ottawa Hospital and CHEO purchase much needed equipment and conduct life saving research so they can better serve the thousands of patients they treat each and every week.

TICKETS

Tickets are $100 each or three for $250 and can be ordered by phone at 613-7304946 or 1-877-730-4946 or online at weallwin.ca.

Tickets can also be ordered at any major bank or at the Guildcrest Grand Prize Cottage in the La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries parking lot at the corner of Hunt Club and Merivale roads.

Nepean-Barrhaven EMC - Thursday, June 14, 2012

EMC news – A Grade 6 Ottawa teacher who created a program teaching cultural understanding between Jewish and Muslim students has been asked to speak at a Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem.

Patrick Mascoe, who teaches at Charles H. Hulse Public School, has been invited to Yad Vashem, a memorial for victims of the Jewish Holocaust, on June 15, an event attended by delegates from 50 countries.

Eight years ago, the Kanata Lakes man started a program that teams up students from Charles H. Hulse, which has a predominantly Muslim population, with students from the Ottawa Jewish Community School through a penpal exchange.

The pen-pal program teaches students to learn and apply the principles of tolerance and responsible citizenship and culminates in a day of cultural understanding.

On June 7, the students from both schools met during a day of cultural understanding held at Charles H. Hulse.

“I really see a change in the culture and attitude. The last time the Jewish kids came in they received a standing ovation,” said Mascoe.

After the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Mascoe said he discovered many of his students harboured an extreme dislike for the Jewish community.

“We had anti-Semitic graffiti, we had kids talking openly that they didn’t like Jews and I thought that was kind of ridiculous,” said Mascoe.

“When I asked if they had met any Jewish people, none of them had met one.”

Mascoe decided to pair his pupils with students from the Ottawa Jewish Community School to engage in healthy debate and discussion.

The pen-pal program was designed to teach students how to make decisions based on knowledge instead of prejudice.

“Everyone can say, ‘Yeah, racism is wrong,’ But when you see it are you going to stand up and do something about it? Even when it is not directed towards you?” Mascoe asked his students.

Collaborative games, sports, a scavenger hunt and a Holocaust survivor’s personal story, were part of this special program aimed at teaching tolerance and understanding.

The goal of the program is to build teamwork and co-operation, said Mascoe.

NEWS

Barrhaven takes a bite out of breast cancer EMC news - City Councillors and the Sue-Vivors team were all ready for an evening of fun and fundraising as they kicked off Barrhaven Takes A Bite Out Of Breast Cancer on June 7 at Broadway Bar and Grill in Barrhaven.

This event saw local three local restaurants: Broadway, Boston Pizza and the Works donate 15 per cent of proceeds raised between 4 and 9 p.m. to the Sue-Vivors in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure.

The Sue-Vivors have been participating in the run since 2006. Team members walk in memory of Sue Levac, who lost her battle with breast

cancer in 2008. To date, the Sue-Vivors have raised over $55,000.00 in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

The Run for the Cure is Canada’s largest single day, volunteer-led fundraising event dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer research, education and awareness programs.

If you were unable to attend the June 7 fundraiser, you can still donate to the Sue-Vivors by visiting their website at www. teamsuevivor.ca.

For more information, please contact Shannon Kingsley at 613-868-9362 or teamsuevivor@gmail.com.

PET OF THE WEEK

CHIP

Pet Adoptions ROMEO

ID#A141902

ID#A142708

Do you like potato chips, or do you prefer chocolate chips?

Maybe this Chip is the right chip for you! He is a six-monthold neutered male, white and black Harrier mix who is already microchipped! He was brought to the shelter as a stray on April 3, and is now ready to find his forever home. Chip likes to be the boss!

He needs an experienced owner who will help him understand his role in the pack. He has a lot of potential to excel at obedience or agility with the right training and socialization. Chip gets along well with teens and adults who will be assertive and won’t let him get away with any mischievous behaviour. He’d rather not live with other dogs. Chip’s new forever family will need to enrol him in obedience training and will need to show proof of enrolment before his adoption can be finalized.

Wherefore art thou Romeo? He’s waiting for you at the Ottawa Humane Society! This handsome orange tabby domestic shorthair cat is one year and seven moons old. He is looking for a companion who will shower him with affection and keep him company. He was found wandering about as a stray and was brought to the shelter on April 26, and he’s now looking for his forever home, where he can relax and have a midsummer night’s dream.

For more information on these or other pets currently available for adoption through the Ottawa Humane Society, please contact 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www.ottawahumane.ca.

Hi there! We are 3 year old brothers...Our names are Kiki and Koko and we are budgies. We have many brothers and sisters that are canaries and zebra finches. Our human mother opens the door of our cage early every morning and we spend the whole day free to do as we want. We love to visit and perch on all the other cages and wish they could come out and play also. When we do get the chance because of an open cage door, we go in and visit although we are never welcomed by the cage’s tenant. We like to fly around the house a bit to get our daily exercise but mostly we just stay on our perch and enjoy all the activities going on in the house. We are very spoiled with the many treats and fresh fruits and vegetables we get every day. We must say life is pretty good here!

We’re PAWSitive your Pets will love us!

Professional pet sitters are an excellent alternative to kennelling, especially for cats who often don’t do well out of their home environment. Check the yellow pages for people or businesses offering these services. Better yet, talk to friends and family and find out if they can recommend someone. Always check references and look for someone who is bonded.

If you need to leave your pet in a kennel, look for these things: UÊ ÀiÊÌ iÊV>}iÃÊV i> Ê> `Ê >À}iÊ enough for your pet?

UÊ ÃÊÜ>ÌiÀÊ>Û> >L iÊ>ÌÊ> ÊÌ iö UÊ ÊÌ iÊ i i Ê Ü iÀÃÊ Ã ÃÌÊ Ê all vaccinations?

UÊ ÃÊÌ iÊL >À` }Ê>}Àii i ÌÊ complete and satisfactory?

UÊ ÃÊ>ÊÛiÌiÀ >À > Ê ÊV> ÊÓ{Ê hours? You might check with the doctor’s office to verify.

If you are taking your pet with you, make sure to: UÊ ii«ÊV « iÌiÊ `i Ì wV>Ì Ê

Many pets are given up at vacation time because of a perceived inconvenience. Thousands of pets who were left with “pet sitters” are lost each year. A bit of planning can help keep your animal companions happy and safe during your vacation.

If you leave your pet behind, take time to explain your pet’s routine to the sitter and include a list of instructions of what to do if the pet is lost.

A relative or a friend who knows your pet (or gets to know him or her before you leave) can be with your pet most of the day or keep your pet’s routine similar, is ideal Before you go, leave an adequate supply of food, grooming instructions, exercise routine and your veterinarian’s (including emergency clinic) telephone number. Also inform your microchip provider of the temporary contact numbers. If possible, leave your itinerary and phone numbers.

Ensure that your pet is wearing a collar and tag and has had all vaccinations. Phone your sitter a couple of times to check in.

The school-based survey also found that fewer students have even tried cigarettes once; a decline among those who had ever tried little cigars; and a drop in the percent of students reporting using alcohol, cannabis and other drugs.

“After seeing smoking rates hit historic lows in Canada recently, these new statistics are encouraging,” Minister of Health Honourable Leona Aglukkaq said in a press release. “In particular, the drop in little cigar smoking suggests that the Cracking Down on Tobacco Marketing Aimed at Youth Act is having an impact on consumption of these products by youth.”

The youth smoking survey captures information related to tobacco, alcohol and drug use. Among the findings for 2010-11: • Nearly three-quarters (74%) of youth in grades 6 to 12 said they have never tried smoking a cigarette, not even a puff, a significant increase from 67% in 2008-09.

• Among younger students, just 2% of those in grades 6

to 9 smoked daily or occasionally, the lowest smoking rate recorded by the survey since it began, in 1994.

• Just 6% of youth in grades 6 to 9 had ever tried smoking little cigars, a significant decrease from 10% in the previous survey. Similarly, in grades 10 to 12, 26% of youth reported having ever tried smoking little cigars, also a significant decrease from 35% in 2008-09.

• Among students in grades 7 to 12, alcohol use in the past 12 months fell to 45% from 53% in 2008-09.

Although one-third (33%) of students in the past year reported binge drinking (five or more drinks on one occasion), this is a significant decrease from 39% in 200809.

• Cannabis use was reported by 21% of students in grades 7 to 12, compared to 27% in 2008-09. There were also significant decreases in the use of MDMA (ecstasy), hallucinogens and salvia, and in the abuse of psychoactive pharmaceuticals.

These and other results of the survey are available at www.hc-sc.gc.ca.
