EMC news – Grade 12 law students at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School spent their last day of school chatting with Liberal MP Justin Trudeau about the Charter of Rights and Freedoms – but it was the question of his potential bid for the Liberal leadership that remained the hot topic. While media at the event were certainly interested in his pending decision to run for the leadership of the federal Liberal party, it was a student who got a

candid response from the son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau. “On a very personal level, I understand better than most people what kind of pressures go on a family when you’re in public office,” Trudeau told the Grade 12 Canadian and international law class. “I watched my parents’ marriage dissolve, I was raised largely by nannies...I had a tough time of it as a kid.” He told them that as a father of two he doesn’t want his young children, now ages three and four, to experience a similar childhood.

However he conceded that he will give more thought to his decision as media and members of the public continue to point to Trudeau as an ideal candidate. “I haven’t yet reconsidered but I am listening to people and I have promised that I will have some conversations with my family over the course of the summer to see if there are ways that I can be a good leader and a good dad at the same time. We’ll see how that goes,” he said.

Catholics’ stance against gay-straight alliance ‘repulsive’: Trudeau From TRUDEAU, page 1

Apart from the leadership question, Trudeau’s hourlong talk and question period ranged from the charter’s role in modern law-making, how students can make a positive impact, and anti-bullying. Student Collin Herd asked Trudeau how he felt about the Catholic backlash against provincial anti-bullying legislation, particularly in regards to gay-straight alliances that promote diversity and acceptance in schools. The MP, who himself is Catholic, said it is “repulsive” that Catholic groups are against the use of the gay-straight alliance title simply because the name makes some people uncomfortable. He said mere tolerance of lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgendered (LGBT) students is not enough. “There’s not a religion in

the world that says ‘tolerate thy neighbour.’ No, they say ‘love thy neighbour.’ Acceptance, respect, building friendships, being open to each other, that’s what we have to build on in Canada,” he said. Bullying, particularly toward LGBT students, has been a major topic in Ottawa and at A.Y. Jackson in recent months. In October, A.Y. Jackson student Jamie Hubley took his own life because of the bullying he faced in and out of school for being an openly gay teenager. Trudeau said that was part of the reason he decided to visit the school. “A.Y. Jackson went through a terrible tragedy a number of months of go, and that was one of the impetuses to get someone in to talk about how we connect with each other, how we build strong communities, how we resist bullying

and harassment. That was part of it,” he said. Trudeau began his visit with a 20-minute motivational speech in which he admonished students for thinking they are the leaders of tomorrow; they are already the leaders of today, he told them, and can make a positive impact with even the smallest of actions. “Leadership is about taking action, leadership is about setting an example, leadership is about understanding the impact you have right now on the world around you,” he said. He applauded the young generation for “getting it” - for understanding that a simple action like recycling a pop can or riding your bike to school makes a difference, and that those actions can add up to something huge. He encouraged them to get involved, to carefully consider their decisions and to engage

with the leaders that are supposed to represent them. “You have voices that matter. The way you ask questions, the way you shape the world around you, everything has an impact,” he said. Teacher Carrie Martine,

who began organizing the visit in February and managed to squeeze the celebrity MP into the very last day of the school year after several cancellations, said the visit was “more than I expected.” It was particularly poignant

for the students’ final day before heading off to college and university next September. “It’s hard to describe its significance, especially the timing of the event. It’s a very motivating experience for them,” she said.

Holy Redeemer Catholic Elementary School will be saying goodbye to one of their most beloved staff members at the end of the month as Dale Brownlee, an office administrator, retires after 24 years at the school. Originally working at Pope John XXIII Catholic School in Nepean, Brownlee decided to accept a position as a secretary at Holy Redeemer – a school of 318 students from pre-kindergarten to grade six – when it opened in January 1988. “It was a brand new school and there was an opportunity to set things up the way we liked,” said Brownlee. “I’m the last of the people from that time.” Brownlee has called Kanata her home since 1974. Born in Montreal, Brownlee said that with her father in the air force growing up, home was not always a permanent fixture. “Kanata became home,” said Brownlee. “We kind of just fell into it. At the time there were 300-some homes in Glen Cairn available through the home ownership made easy plan – a program that allows you to send in a $100 certified check and they would draw who got the homes and we were one of the lucky ones.

Library introduces new check in tech From LIBRARY, page 1

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

Five hundred and thirty eight people visited the library on Thursday, checking out 1,200 items. The reopening occurred after nearly six months and approximately $500,000 of renovations. Hazledean is the first branch to introduce a radio frequency identification system, an automated book-sorting system for returned and checked out items which will eventually be rolled out to many of the other branches. The radio technology replaces the barcode system, which will greatly speed up the process of sorting books, said Beiles. “It enables us to automate some of the more repetitive manual labour aspects of sorting books,” she said, adding that this will free up time for staff to assist patrons.

Mom, can we go to another one?

The library installed a new service desk and carpet, a fresh coat of paint for the walls and a redesign of the meeting spaces, with a new early-learning literacy space, a teen zone space and a spot for school age kids to gather. Patrons will enjoy relaxing in the new lounge chairs, which come with electric outlets for laptop use, Beiles said. “As the world has become tech savvy, we’ve had to run electrical cords all over the place,” said Beiles. “But now we have a comfortable lounge setting situated beside electrical outlets galore to provide comfortable effective space for study and laptop use.” Opening day was a big success, said Beiles. “There were many expressions of awe and delight at the new technology and the improved look and feel of the branch.”

East-end bridge is not just about us

N

ow is not the time for the city to turn its back on the development of an east-end bridge between Ottawa and Gatineau. Perhaps when the idea was first floated decades ago, it could have been rubbished as some sort of whimsical pipe dream. But now, when the population of the OttawaGatineau region is only a hair below 1.25 million, is not the time to balk at such a move. It is important to remem-

ber the stated purpose of building a new bridge is not narrow. It is conceived as, among other things, a way to improve the lives of those who regularly cross the Ottawa River by improving transportation links, take heavy vehicle traffic out of Ottawa’s downtown core and to boost economic development in the National Capital Region. The position taken by members of several east end communities, and surpris-

ingly by Mayor Jim Watson, that we should not consider an east-end interprovincial link at all simply fails to address the needs of this region. Will the lives of those crossing the river be improved by extending Ottawa light rail further east? Will, by the same token, trucks be compelled to no longer clog King Edward Avenue if Orleans commuters have a rail link to the downtown core? Will the economic needs of those living on the north bank

of the river be served by such narrow views? Residents in Ottawa’s east end need to remember that this project does not exist only to make their lives miserable. It is a regional project and must serve the needs of the region, which means proving to be a benefit to not just Ottawa and Gatineau, but Ontario, Quebec and the National Capital Commission. This is not to suggest this is a simple, easy task. That’s why after many years of dis-

cussion and planning, there’s still no bridge. There will never be a perfect location for the bridge that makes absolutely everyone happy. But that’s the nature of significant, city building projects. Just look at Lansdowne Park or light rail. Both have elicited strong reactions from a variety of constituencies about how best to proceed. But in neither case is doing nothing a real option. Does this mean there’s no

room for discussion about where to put the bridge? Of course not. Perhaps there are other options to consider outside the presently considered Kettle Island, Lower Duck Island and McLaurin Bay corridors. If a strong case can be made to all the relevant stakeholders, perhaps something new would be considered. But it is long past time when we can simply put our heads in the sand and not build a bridge. The future of all those who live in the National Capital Region is too important to stand alone at a time when we should be moving forward together.

COLUMN

Going bonkers over plastic bag bans CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

I

like the way a humble plastic bag can inspire a mighty ideological battle, with both sides marshalling lofty rhetoric and deeply philosophical theories on the subject. Is there anything more humble than a plastic bag? You acquire it almost by accident, you discard it without a second thought. You put garbage in it, not to mention dog poop. It is not a beloved household item. It is unlovable. And yet, a deep love has been professed for it by those who see the plastic bag as a symbol of society’s need to fight intrusive government. Toronto city council sparked all this by passing a motion banning plastic bags. On the surface, this is not all that outrageous. Other societies, including Third World nations, have taken similar action, and even here plastic bag use has been on the decline with people turning to cloth bags rather than pay for plastic bags in grocery stores. But Toronto council’s action has brought out those who deplore the state getting into their private behaviour and see the plastic bag ban as the thin edge of the wedge – the fat end of the wedge being unclear at the moment. Perhaps they fear that our city councils will begin banning vacuum cleaners or spray-on starch. Amidst all these grand arguments we have to remember: it’s only a plastic bag. Will we really miss it? Some of the opposition’s arguments need to be examined. Will more trees die as consumers and retailers are forced to switch to paper? That’s worth a look. For that matter, maybe the increased use of cloth bags threatens the world’s cloth supply.

You can argue these and other theories forever, but the notion that a ban on plastic bags won’t work is probably wrong. It rests on the assumption that people are incapable of change. But we’re not. We switched to metric, to unleaded gas. We adopted the designated driver. And, in the most relevant comparison, we have adjusted to smoking bans. Who could have conceived of a smoking ban three decades ago, when there were ashtrays in offices, smoking in stores, in movie theatres, when more than 40 per cent of adults smoked. Today, the smoking rate is half of that, and almost all public places are smoke-free. Perhaps more significantly, most private places are smoke-free too, as even the most diehard smokers go outside rather than light up in someone’s home. If we can do all that, we can do without plastic bags too. The consequences of not doing so can be seen in some countries where litter control is less strict than it is here. Plastic bags hang from the trees and bushes, cling to fences like some kind of filmy flower. And the results of a plastic bag ban can be seen in other countries, such as Rwanda, where you cannot even bring plastic bags into the country. The trees, bushes and fences are clear, and there doesn’t seem to be any public agitation for plastic bags to return. Either taxes or outright bans are in place in many countries and cities around the world with no apparent ill effects. So that leaves the main argument against banning plastic bags as the philosophical one – that governments shouldn’t be in the business of banning stuff. As we have seen, banning stuff has mixed results. Prohibition didn’t work all that well. On the other hand, banning people from driving 150 kilometres per hour on city streets is a pretty good thing. For sure, people will miss having plastic bags as garbage bin liners, perhaps the role they were put on Earth to fulfill. But hey, we’re a resourceful people. If we can put a man on the moon, surely we can figure something out.

Prevention – it’s the only ‘cure’ for cancer: Prevention Cancer Now chairman I don’t get it. Your paper has recently featured several stories about good-hearted residents who willingly run, ride, walk, and roll to raise money for cancer. That seems so worthy as cancer is our number one killer in Canada and the treatments are brutal. Nearly half of us will get it and a quarter of us will die from it. So what I don’t get is this.

Why, with all that time, energy, and money expended to test, treat, and try to find the cure, is there still no cure in sight and cancer rates are climbing?Why is it we seem to miss the most obvious answer to cancer? Why not try to stop it before it starts? Probably 80 per cent and more cancers can be prevented. Furthermore, we could save our country and ourselves a lot of money and

misery at the same time. Some things we can do are fairly easy, simple choices that most of us can make on our own. See our web site, www.preventcancernow.ca, for prevention tips that we all can do, right now. There is much more to be done collectively. We need to get corporations, institutions, and governments to dramatically reduce the current levels of carcinogens in our air, our

food, and our water. But the latest report from the Canadian Cancer Research Alliance states that only about two per cent of all publicly funded cancer research goes toward primary prevention. Why only two per cent? It may be because there’s so little money to be made by preventing cancer. The money appears to be made on treatment, after one contracts the disease. We need to turn that

around, beat cancer before we get it, not afterward. Let’s not leave Canada’s cancer victims to fend for themselves in a frantic world of fear, pain, life-altering decisions and life-shortening possibilities. Let’s not accept cancer incidence and mortality rates as they are today. Let’s not accept the disease and its sufferers as simply the way it is and has to be. We need to ask, “Why do we get

EMC news - OC Transpo fares that were supposed to rise will stay the same after July 1 due to the delay in the Presto smart card system. The new fare schedule will make the Presto card’s “epurse” cash value function the cheapest way to pay per trip, but the city announced on June 7 that technical glitches in the Presto system will delay its launch until later this summer. No firm date for the rollout has been set. Instead of going up to $3 per ride for an adult or student using bus tickets, fares will remain at $2.60 per trip using tickets after July 1. Cash trips

will go up slightly, from $3.25 to $3.30 a trip. Fares for seniors aged 65 and up will be $2 per trip and a child fare will go down slightly to $1.50 cash or one ticket ($1.30). The EcoPass is being phased out as part of Presto’s implementation, but that too is on hold until the bugs in the new system can be worked out. The 600 former EcoPass customers who already dropped out of the program for July 1 will get Presto cards and participate in the “friends and family” Presto pilot project, which includes a group of people who are trying out the Presto system in advance of the full launch as OC Transpo works on the technical glitches. City council approved the revised fares as a temporary measure until Presto is ready to launch.

Metrolinx, the provincially managed agency that oversees the Presto project, said there are technical glitches in the new generation of software Ottawa’s Presto card readers use, and the agency is working to fix the errors. DELAY COSTS

The delays will cost OC Transpo $100,000 per month, money the city insists that Metrolinx must pay. While there is a verbal agreement between the city and Metrolinx to that effect, nothing has been put in writing.

Metrolinx understands that they have a responsibility to cover the costs that we as a city and OC Transpo are incurring as a result of the delay. diane deans, transit commission chairwoman

“Metrolinx understands that they have a responsibility to cover the costs that we as a city and OC Transpo are incurring as a result of the

delay,” transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans told city council on June 13. “We have no intention of taxpayers picking up the cost of this delay.” The costs include changes to advertisements promoting the changeover to Presto, staffing and project management and lost revenue. Because a clause putting Metrolinx on the hook for the overruns was left out of the city’s Presto contract, Mayor Jim Watson presented notice that he’ll have a motion directing city staff to conduct a legal review of how similar contracts are worded in the future.

WOCRC to host open house Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre will host an open house to showcase its services on June 25. The WOCRC celebrated its 25th anniversary last year. “It’s just a chance to welcome the community back to the centre,” said Cathy Jordan, executive director. “There’s

just so much always to celebrate.” The open house will feature success stories of people who have used the services, staff and donor recognition, welcoming new employees and the centre’s annual report. The WOCRC served 18,000 people over the past year, said Jordan. “That makes it a really fulfilling place for me to work,” she said. “We have amazing staff and volunteers.” The centre will also celebrate a number of new partnerships including the Andrew

Fleck Integrated Children’s Services and the addition of two Youth Services Bureau counsellors on site. Jordan said she’s hoping people come to find out about the types of services offered at the centre. “Even though we’ve served over 18,000 people this year, many people still don’t know what services we offer,” she said. “Come and learn, talk to the staff.” The open house will be held at the WOCRC from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at 2 MacNeil Crt., in Kanata.

EMC news - Members of the Probus Club of Western Ottawa received a lesson on the ABCs of fraud prevention on June 12. Katimavik’s Doris Braslins, Sharen Bowen of Nepean, and Barrhaven’s Fred Christie, all from the Rotary Club of West

Ottawa – along with police officer Steve Smith – schooled those in attendance on how to avoid being a victim. “The intent is not to scare you but it is really wise to be aware there are imposters out there,” said Braslins. Some of the more frequent frauds committed against seniors include door-to-door sales, mail and email fraud, and identity theft. An example of a door-todoor sales fraud is a contractor saying he or she is offering discounts because the compa-

ny is working in the area, said Braslins. The “granny scam” is an email fraud where the receiver gets an email saying it’s the grandchild, who’s in some kind of trouble and needs money wired to them, said Braslins. They always stress not to say anything to other family members because “mom and dad will kill me,” she said. Smith said there was an example in the Durham region where a grandmother lost over $120,000 in three months to the email fraud. The scammer

pretended to be her grandson, saying he was in trouble and needed cash. “She even saw her grandson at a few family functions but she didn’t talk to him about it because she didn’t want to embarrass him,” said Smith. “You have to be careful.” THEFT

Identity and credit card theft are a big problem for people of all ages, said Smith, See ROTARY page 15

Rotary Club helps promote fraud prevention From PROBUS page 14

adding there has been a large increase in people pretending to be someone else. The best tips he had for the crowd included not to give out Sany personal information unless you know the person you are giving it to, and to protect your Social Insurance Number (SIN) by leaving it at home in a safe place. “The SIN cards have no se-

curity features,” he said, making it easy to create fraudulent cards or use someone else’s. He added it’s important for people not to carry passwords or Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) in their wallets. If a person loses his or her wallet with a debit or credit card, the bank or credit institution “won’t replace your money if your PIN is in your wallet with your card,” said Smith.

Another scam includes someone calling saying they have to update an account for a specific credit card, said Smith. They ask for the expiry date and three-digit security number on the back of a credit card in order to purchase items on the Internet. “Never provide personal or financial information over the phone unless you know who you’re talking to or you initiated the call,” said Braslins.

She added it’s also important to keep credit card limits as low as possible, to review all monthly statements, to check credit scores once a year and to use a shredder for all personal documents. For information on fraud, visit the Ottawa police web-

site at www.ottawapolice.ca, email fraud@ottawapolice. ca or call 613-236-1222, ext. 5433, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. To report a fraud, call the police at 613-236-1222, ext. 7300, or visit any Ottawa police station.

Sheepish passenger takes ride to town

I

t didn’t take long for us to realize this was no ordinary trip into Renfrew for our Saturday supplies. I loved sitting in the back of the car where all the action was. Three brothers and my sister Audrey kept the place buzzing all the way into town for the 20 kilometres. But that day Mother steered me into the front to sit between her and Father. But Father and Everett were yet to appear. I figured they were in the barn checking on the livestock. Then we saw them, half dragging, half pushing a full-grown sheep across the barnyard. Audrey let a moan out of her that could be heard in Admaston and said she would stay home if Father had any intention of cramming “that sheep into the car.” Mother reminded her she was to pick out a new pair of shoes that day at Scott’s Shoe Store, so she had little choice. Emerson said he could always hang on to the running board outside the car if need be. It wouldn’t be the first time he tried the stunt, but that day it looked more and more like a possible solution. Mother said Father had to take the sheep into town where it would be turned over to a farmer from the Braeside area, who had made a deal with him. “Before you know it, we’ll be in town and the sheep will be gone,” she said. Everett said it had better be shoved in the only door in the back that had any hinges left on it. The other one, tied on with binder twine, would take too long to open. It looked to me like the sheep wasn’t too happy about being pushed into either door. Finally, Father took its hind legs, Everett its front and they heaved it into the back of the car, right on

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories top of everyone’s feet. Father slammed the door shut, which pushed the sheep further into the car, then Everett flew in behind it right over the door, Father jumped behind the steering wheel and we took off. Emerson said later, it was the fastest he ever saw Father push the old car. There were no windows in the car, just little roll-up blinds and we were all grateful for the air that passed through from one side to the other as Father careened down the Northcote side road. From all appearances, we were just a normal family on its way into town to do the usual Saturday shopping for supplies. Emerson said the sheep had relieved itself and Audrey said “that’s disgusting,” pushing her head out the side of the car as far as it would go. Mother, ever practical, told Emerson to use his foot and push it out the plate-sized hole in the floor in the back of the car. And so, the “deposit” was made along the Northcote side road, which to others traveling the route wouldn’t find to be so unusual, since livestock could often be seen being herded up and down the road. The real trouble started when we hit the outskirts of Renfrew. Father slowed down, the sheep was fast losing patience with its tight quarters and it stuck its head out the window and let a string of bleats go that had people turning in their tracks on the street to see where the noise was

coming from. This caused Audrey great embarrassment and she slid down as far as she could go in the seat, and when I turned around to look, all I could see was the big flat pink ribbon covering her black hair like a newspaper. The sheep was still voicing its disapproval all along Raglan Street on the way to the drive shed where the drop-off was to be made. Emerson was laughing his head off. There was no sound or sign of Earl. He was likely buried under Everett, who was trying to keep the sheep from jumping out the side of the car. “Father steered the car into the drive shed at the end of Raglan Street, came to a halt and the sheep cleared the back door with one wild leap. The farmer who was there to

collect it, pushed his straw hat to the back of his head and watched as the woolly animal tore around the lot like someone had filled it full of buckshot. My three brothers joined Father and the new owner and finally cornered it in one of the horse stalls. Audrey refused to get out of the car, even if it meant her new shoes would have to wait for another Saturday. Mother picked up what she needed at Walker’s and at Ritza’s Drug Store collected her weekly copy of the Philadelphia Inquirer. The rest of the shopping for our supplies would have to wait. As soon as we got back to the farm, my sister Audrey took a bucket, a towel and a bar of homemade soap and headed for the Bonnechere River. She insisted three days later she still smelled of sheep. The brothers were given the job of washing out the back of the car. Mother, long after sunset, whispered to herself, “no one ever told me living on a farm would be like this.” New York, where she lived for 18 years, seemed very far away indeed.

Filmmakers call on city to preserve Kanata Town Centre Core Park ‘It’s one of the last few remaining green spaces in Ottawa’: student Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news – A group of young film makers at Holy Trinity Catholic High School are hoping to convince the city to reconsider plans for a commercial and residential development at the Kanata Town Centre Core Park. Grade 9 students Madison Rodney, Shaylah Mahoney and Barbara Armstrong produced a 10-minute documentary, Saving the Kanata Town Centre Core Park, as part of an end-of-the-year assignment in their Grade 9 geography class. Holy Trinity’s academiclevel geography and science teachers had asked the program’s 150 students to investigate the ecological and geological uniqueness of the 24hectare piece of city-owned land. “This park is really unique,” said Shaylah. “It’s different from every other park because of the vegetation and Canadian Shield. The Kanata Town Centre Core Park development plan calls for a residential and commercial development on

monarch butterfly and a butternut tree, making reference to the Iroquois myth of how the world rests on the back of a turtle. “I thought it made sense to reference the myth of a turtle,” said Barbara. The documentary debuted during a presentation of the science and geography students projects in the Holy Trinity school library on Friday, June 15. At the end of the presentation of their documentary, the three filmmakers told their fellow students they are proposing the city declare the Kanata Town Centre Core Park land a protected green space, and rename it Machicomuck, which is the Algonquin word for “temple.”

almost 16 hectares of land owned by the city east of Kanata Avenue, south of Campeau Drive and west of Eagleson Road, and leaving 8.1 hectares as green space. In the 1990s, the former city of Kanata bought the land and drew up plans to turn the area into a central hub for the municipality, with space earmarked for commercial, residential and office space. Three apartment buildings and a nursing home have already been constructed – leaving 24 hectares of undeveloped space. UNIQUE SPECIES

Madison, Shaylah and Barbara said they discovered the Kanata Town Centre Core Park land was home to a number of unique species and vegetation, including the butternut tree and the endangered Blanding’s turtle. The park also boasts “tiny islands” or outcroppings of igneous rock, marking the formation of the Canadian Shield by glaciers during the ice age. “When I started, I didn’t even know there was anything

Centre Core Park. She said city planners should do more to protect its green spaces. “Otherwise the world is going to be bleak,” Madison said. The teen documentary makers used a high-definition

camcorder to film the documentary, with Madison and Barbara taking turns behind the camera. Shaylah, a budding musician, added the score and narrated the film. The film’s logo is a drawing of a Blanding’s turtle, a

Most of the class projects called on the municipality to discourage development on the Kanata Town Centre Core Park land. “They want to tear down the forest and put residential areas in and we want to prevent that from happening,” said Megan MacCormac, a Grade 9 geography student. Andrew Scott, another Grade 9 geography class student, was a member of several groups who built a model of the lands, showing the area’s unique geological and geographic features. “It’s one of the last few remaining green spaces in Ottawa,” he said. “The other is Shirley’s Bay and the South March Highlands.” Andrew Goodman, another Grade 9 geography student, said the city should closely group any development on the core park land to allow for more green space. Michael Broughton, a senior city planner, who visited the school on June 15 to check out the projects, said he was very impressed with the students’ work. “I think there’s a wonderful amount of research that is apparent that has gone into their presentation,” he said. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who also attended the June 15 presentation, said any major changes to the Kanata Town Centre Core Park development plan is probably “not in the cards.” “The kids want all parks, but I don’t think that will happen,” she said. “There’s too much money invested.” The city has installed water and sewer mains and is taking a final look at its development plans for the area, which it will present to the public sometime in the fall of 2012, said Wilkinson. “We are looking at whether there could be some changes,” said Wilkinson, adding that she is looking to scrap plans to build a road from Kanata Avenue to Campeau Drive. Eliminating the roads could mean traffic jams, warned city staff. “I’d rather have less blasting,” said Wilkinson.

Bread machine loaf destined to be a favourite

O

f all the recipes I’ve made in the bread machine, this is without a doubt our favourite for everyday eating. From the comments I’ve received, it’s also a favourite with a lot of readers. Recently I was asked to repeat it for those who may have missed it. The secret to this loaf’s success is cottage cheese. The recipe doesn’t call for much, just 1/3 of a cup, but it makes all the difference in the texture and freshness of the bread. This loaf is moist and stays fresh, keeping well for three or four days. It’s perfect for making either sandwiches or toast. The basic recipe uses a combination of all purpose white flour and whole wheat flour. This gives the loaf more body than white bread without the heaviness of 100 per cent wholewheat. The sunflower seeds are optional. With or without them, this bread is delicious. I’ve also included a variation for making this as Cinnamon Raisin Bread. Both recipes make a 681 gram (1.5 pound) loaf. COTTAGE CHEESE BREAD

• 1 1/4 cups water

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff • 1/3 cup cottage cheese • 3/4 tsp. salt • 1 tbsp. white sugar • 1 tbsp. shortening • 2 1/2 cups all purpose white flour • 1 cup whole wheat flour • 1/3 cup sunflower seeds • 1 1/2 tsp. bread machine yeast Place all of the ingredients, except the sunflower seeds, in the breadmaking pan in the order given. Because of the cottage cheese, which can spoil in warm weather, don’t use the delayed start. Start the bread machine right away using the Whole Wheat cycle. Add the sunflower seeds when the machine beeps indicating Add Ingredients. When the bread is finished, remove the loaf from the pan. Let the loaf cool for at least one hour before slicing it. A serrated knife works best for cutting fresh bread.

CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD

• 1 1/4 cups water • 1/3 cup cottage cheese • 3/4 tsp. salt • 1 tbsp. white sugar • 1 tbsp. shortening • 3 1/2 cups all purpose white flour • 1 tsp. cinnamon • 1/2 cup raisins • 1 tsp. bread machine yeast When you measure the ingredients into the bread machine, place the cinnamon to one side of the flour and the yeast to the other side. Don’t let the spice touch the yeast because cinnamon can prevent the yeast from working properly. Start the bread machine using the Sweet Cycle. Add the raisins when the machine beeps indicating Add Ingredients. When the bread is finished, remove the loaf from the pan. Let cool for one hour before slicing.

Public education ‘increasingly two-tier’: critics The third and final installment in a series that looks at school fundraising By Kristen Calis, Jessica Cunha and Rosie-Ann Grover

The best way to end the Ontario school system’s reliance on fundraising is to pour more money into public education, parents, teachers and critics say. “We are getting increasingly (to be) a two-tiered education system,” says NDP education critic Peter Tabuns. “That speaks to the need for adequate funding of the education system so parents don’t feel compelled to raise money.” Fundraising Fever, a Metroland Special Report, shows that concerns about overuse of fundraising – and the disparities it creates – are growing province-wide. Potential solutions also include a proposal by the advocacy group People for Education, which wants a provincial Equity in Education grant created to reduce inequities triggered by fundraising. School boards are pushing for an evaluation of provincial education funding to determine whether the current model is fair to all students. “The pressure to fundraise will only grow as boards try to meet the austerity measures of provincial governments,” says Catherine Fife, president of the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association. “We can’t go to our parent councils or school councils and keep asking for money.” There’s no question money is tight. The McGuinty government is starting consultations this fall to cut $10 million from school board administration budgets by 2013-14. Progressive Conservative education critic Lisa MacLeod says there is a lot of waste in the system and boards don’t always spend their funding appropriately. “They’ll claim they have no money, but are they managing the money effectively?” she asks. Some groups, including Social Planning Toronto, believe fundraising should be banned outright, except for raising dollars for external charities. “I’d rather not have it,” says Chris Ellis, who sits on four school councils in Ottawa. “I’d like for schools to not be able to raise funds for their own use so then parents in those affluent areas might become involved and speak up for greater funding for the education system.” The Coalition Against Public School Inequality suggests a cap on school fundraising. A percentage of each school’s profits above and beyond the limit would go into an equalization fund to help disadvantaged schools. But the Ontario Federation of Home and School Associations says a limit would be too restrictive. “We actually don’t want somebody to say you have to stop here. It’s up to the parents to decide how much they want to do or whether they’ve had enough,” says Lee Gow-

The purchase of new playground equipment is a common fundraising goal for parents. ers, president of the group. Raising taxes would be a controversial solution, but “that’s how you address inequity, unpopularly through taxes,” says Annie Kidder, executive director of People for Education. “At some point, we have to bite the bullet and go, ‘That’s what taxes pay for.’ If we want our kids to have books in their libraries, we have to pay taxes.” Critics say the province should outline exactly what materials, activities and programs should be available – at no cost to parents – in all Ontario schools. Currently, it’s OK to raise funds for library books, gym equipment and musical instruments. “You need to start with the policy and the vision and laying out concretely what should be there in schools,” says Kidder. “Then you start talking about how you fund it to ensure it’s fair and equitable.” There is also interest in a boardwide mentorship program where successful fundraising schools partner with those that need a hand, helping to reduce the gap in funds raised. “To me, that’s how successful fundraising can be done, really sharing the best practices,” says parent Roxanne Horwitz, who sits on the St. Bernadette Catholic School council in Ajax Education foundations across the province continue to play a role, helping to reduce inequities in opportunity between well-off and disadvantaged schools. There is no severe pressure on schools to raise funds for things like field trips because many foundations will cover those costs.

“Having a central education foundation completely changes the landscape for children in a city,” says Jane Fulton, executive director of the Education Foundation of Ottawa. “We make sure that no student is left out.” Small businesses and large corporations continue to work to bridge the gap by providing donations and incentive programs. “That’s what we are counting on, businesses in the community,” says Luce Paradis, principal at Assumption Catholic School in Ottawa. The school is located in a low-income area and doesn’t usually host fundraisers. Without corporate donations, it wouldn’t be able to reach its goal of $50,000 for a new play structure. “We have to outsource a little bit.” The Campbell’s Labels For Education program, for example, invites schools to collect labels from Campbell’s products, such as soup cans and Goldfish crackers, and redeem them for educational resources from books to gym equipment. A number of other companies, such as Chapters, Boston Pizza and McDonald’s, host special events that encourage parents to purchase their products and then give a portion of sales back to local schools. Others, such as the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, believe businesses don’t belong in public schools. “It’s a tempting road because it’s a quick fix to the funding situation,” says Kawartha Pine Ridge ETFO president David Wing. “Children are already bombarded enough with commercial messages.”

Host of development meetings planned for north Kanata Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - A number of public meetings are planned for upcoming development projects in Kanata north next week. An update on the application for 1131 Teron Rd. will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Mlacak Centre, located at 2500 Campeau Dr., on Monday, June 25. During the ward council meeting on Monday, June 18, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said it will be more of an informal meeting with presentations from herself and the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association – as opposed to city staff and the developer – to inform the community about the development. The proposal includes the construction of up to 15 stories for an apartment building, as well as townhouses on the property, which backs on to March Road, Bethune Court and Bethune Way. Residents will have the opportunity to give their opinions on what they would like to see on the Beaverbrook site. Asking for “no change” won’t work, said Wilkinson, adding remarks on the proposal are due by July 6. “We have to get our comments in.”

Proposed Official Plan Amendment Natural Heritage System, Kizell Wetland, Lester Road Wetland Complex and Cardinal Creek Karst For your information, the City of Ottawa is considering modifications to the Official Plan.

SUBJECT LANDS, PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSALS 1) City Wide: The purpose of this amendment is to include a set of Natural Heritage System overlays in the Official Plan. The proposed constraints maps merge the already designated natural heritage system features with other features (significant woodlands, significant valleylands, life science areas of natural and scientific interest, significant wildlife habitat in the form of escarpments). 2) The purpose is to designate the Kizell Wetland (located within the urban portion of the South March Highlands, straddling Goulbourn Forced Road) and Lester Road Wetland Complex (located north and east of the Ottawa International Airport) as ‘Significant Wetlands’ in the Official Plan. Significant Wetlands are subject to specific Official Plan policies in order to protect these sensitive areas and support their natural functions.

Eddie Rwema

Staff Sgt. John McGetrick said the human traffic case involving young offenders has shocked both the police service and the community in Ottawa.

Human trafficking suspect arrested in Gatineau

3) The purpose of the third amendment is to convert the Cardinal Creek karst (south side of Watters Road, east of Everlasting Crescent and west of the Urban Boundary) currently identified as a ‘Landform Feature’ to an ‘Earth Science Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI)’. With this amendment, development of this site or land within 50 metres of the feature will be subject to specific Official Plan policies established to protect the educational, scientific and landscape value of the feature. You are invited to attend a public meeting regarding the proposed modifications on: Date Tuesday, June 26, 2012

EMC news – A third teenage girl has been arrested in connection with a human trafficking case in Ottawa. The 16-year-old was arrested by Gatineau police and returned to Ottawa on June 14. The teen is the third suspect wanted in what Ottawa police have called a shocking case involving girls being forced into

prostitution. As of last week, Ottawa police had arrested two 15-yearold girls. The accused teens face multiple charges including human trafficking, abduction, sexual assault and forcible confinement. At a news conference on June 12, Staff Sgt.John McGetrick said they were pursuing, a 17-year-old girl, for forcing other teens into pros-

titution; after it emerged that a number of girls between the ages of 13 and 17 were lured to an address in the 2400 block of Walkley Road and subsequently driven to other locations for the purposes of prostitution. Police have since confirmed that the girl they were looking for is 16, not 17 as they originally announced. See CASE, page 25

“This is something that shocked us in the community and we are actively investigating,” said McGetrick. The two girls were arrested after police received three individual reports in late May and early June that triggered the investigation. “The investigations led us to the suspects,” he said. McGetrick said the ages of both the victims and the suspects make this a “disturbing and shocking” case. He added police are not aware of any similar cases of this magnitude. McGetrick believes social media was a factor in the initial meetings that were arranged between the accused and the victims. “The meetings were intended to do an enjoyable activity,” McGetrick told reporters. “There was no ill intent in the invite but obviously things changed.” At this point he said investigators do not have any evidence the three suspects were being controlled by anyone else. McGetrick said he is not aware of any other victims, but is urging any potential victims to come forward. He said their investigations had been limited by the fact that the names of the accused cannot be revealed under the terms of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the sexual assault/child abuse section at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944 or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Unique network wants ‘no wrong door’ for victims Service providers for people affected by crime work together to ensure all are helped Laura Mueller

Coordinated Victims Assistance Network – Ottawa co-chairs Sgt. Jill Skinner and Steve Sullivan of Ottawa Victim Services pose with the mission statement of the new collaborative initiative at Ottawa Police Service headquarters on June 11.

EMC news - When Sharon Rosenfeldt’s six-year-old son was murdered in 1984 in British Columbia, there was no place for her to seek support in her community. Thirty years later, Rosenfeldt said it was an emotional experience to witness the launch of a unique program to assist victims of crime in her new home of Ottawa.

“It’s been very emotionally healing for us to know that victims of crime … they have places to go,” she said. Rosenfeldt was thanked for her advocacy through the founding of Victims of Violence during the June 11 launch of Ottawa’s Coordinated Victims Assistance Network at police headquarters on Elgin Street.

Program first of its kind in Canada From NETWORK, page 26

The philosophy behind the network is described as “no wrong door,” meaning that no matter where victims turn, be it a doctor, teacher, law enforcement officer, service agency or employer, they are shown where to get access to services they need to recover and deal with their experience. The initiative will create a formal network of service providers, including resources such as counselling, victim support groups and religious leaders, overseen by the Ottawa Police Service. That oversight from the police, as well as the endorsement of Mayor Jim Watson and police Chief

Charles Bordeleau, makes the network unique in Canada, Rosenfeldt said. From a victim’s perspective, it will mean that any place a person who has suffered due to crime initially turns can connect them with the most applicable and helpful resource for their situation. While an informal network of service providers tried to accomplish the same connections in the past, the new network will provide a complete list of useful services available to victims that have been vetted by the network. Providers in the network will also work together to share information and collaborate on new or im-

proved victims services. While other areas have attempted to establish similar networks, the network’s co-

chairwoman Sgt. Jill Skinner said Ottawa’s program is a leader. “As far as we’re aware,

there are very few networks like this that are operating,” Skinner said. “We are committing as a city to be focused on victims.” The mayor said he is pleased with the “dream team” the network has established over the

course of two years of work. “Victims of crime are dealing with so much … This will help them with their next stage of healing,” Watson said, adding he is proud of the city’s “sense of collaboration” in setting up the network.

99-year-old Kanata Lion still has bite For 20 years, Katimavik man has sang O Canada at weekly meetings Blair Edwards

Ninety-nine-year-old Alf Moore celebrates the Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club’s 35th anniversary at the Lion Dick Brule Community Centre on Tuesday, June 12.

EMC community - The oldest Lion in Ottawa still roars. Just one year shy of the century mark, Alf Moore, 99, remains active in the community as a member of the KanataHazeldean Lions Club and an entertainer at seniors’ homes across Ottawa. “I’m very fortunate to be at this age,” said Moore. “My mother lived to 101, so I guess I have her genes.” Moore hasn’t let his age slow him down – he lives in his own in a house in Katimavik and occasionally drives a car. In 2012, Moore marked his 47th-year of service as a member of the Lions Club split between chapters in Montreal and Kanata. For two decades the Katimavik man has run the 50/50 draw at the weekly meetings held by the Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club, and opened each session with a rousing rendition of O Canada. Moore also raised funds for the club serving as a “tail twister,” testing the members knowledge with trivia questions during a meeting – the penalty for a wrong guess is a contribution to the club used to cover administrative costs. Part of his job as tail twister involved entertaining his fellow members with a few well placed jokes, said Moore. “Laughter is very important

to your health,” he said. Last year, Moore retired from his club duties, but he still maintains his commitment to community service by singing with the Sounds of Music, a musical group that entertains seniors in long-term care homes and retirement residences across Ottawa. Moore developed a taste for entertaining as a child, singing with his church choir in Montreal. As an adult, he joined a barbershop quartet in Montreal, usually singing lead. Over the past half-century, Moore kept up with his singing, performing O Canada to open Lions clubs meetings in Montreal and Kanata. A few years ago he even sang the national anthem to begin a City of Ottawa council session. Moore, who grew up in Montreal, entered the work force in 1927 at the age of 14 to help support his family. Eventually, he took a position as a manager with T. Eaton, working in the women’s fashion department, a job that involved travel across Europe and North America. For the last half-a-century, Alf has balanced his work life and retirement with community service, volunteering with a Lions Club in Montreal and, starting in 1990, the KanataHazeldean Lions Club.

Kanata-Hazeldean Lions mart 35th anniversary Blair Edwards

Blair.edwards@metroland.com

The Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club celebrated it’s 35th anniversary at the Lion Dick Brule Community Centre in Glen Cairn on Tuesday, June 12. Three of the club’s charter members who started the club on March 14, 1977, were on

hand for the evening’s festivities: Tom Feltmate, Eric Russell and Graham Ball, who accepted a plaque commemorating the anniversary. Over the past 35 years, the club has contributed more than $750,000 to Kanata clubs, agencies and individuals as well as thousands of hours in volunteer service.

The Lioness Club merged with the Lions in 1984. Last year, the club collected $3,800 and 1,814 kilograms of food for the Kanata Food Cupboard. In 2011, it also provided space to the Western Community Resource Centre to host their seniors programs while the building was undergoing renovations.

“It’s a wonderful organization to belong to, because we do all sorts of charitable work,” said Moore. Over the years, Moore said he’s noticed a decline in membership at the Lions club.

“A lot of the service clubs are having a tough time,” he said. Tom Feltmate, a past cabinet secretary with the KanataHazeldean Lions, said Moore has been a welcome addition to the club. “He’s Mr. O Canada and

Mr. 50/50 draw,” said Feltmate. “He just brings a spark into the room.” Moore is also known for his prowess as a fundraiser. “I don’t know how many (Christmas) cakes he’s sold over the year’s but he’s sold a few hundred,” said Feltmate.

Friends of Lansdowne won’t seek appeal Ottawa police warn drivers to lock cars Laura Mueller

There is still one outstanding legal quandary that could trip up the park redevelopment: the Lansdowne Conservancy, an organization that proposed an alternate redevelopment plan for Lansdowne,

On June 14 in front of the Horticulture Building, Friends of Lansdowne member Doug Ward announced the group will not appeal its legal challenge to the Supreme Court. has requested an appeal to the provincial court of appeal. In March, the Divisional Court of Ontario dismissed the Conservancy’s legal action by ruling it was an abuse of process and awarding the city $10,000 in legal costs from the Conservancy’s founder, John Martin. Martin said the Ontario Court of Appeal will likely make a decision on whether to hear the appeal in July. City spokeman Michael Fitzpatrick said the court’s

decision isn’t likely to be made before the end of July or early August, but it could “take some time� as it is completely up to the court’s discretion. Ward was quick to point out that the Friends of Lansdowne group isn’t throwing its support behind the Lansdowne Conservancy proposal. Rather, the Friends wanted to see a competitive bidding process that would allow the Conservancy and any other group to have its idea consid-

ownership meets the legislated requirements to surrender documents to the police upon request. • Don’t leave automatic garage door openers in the vehicle as this can leave open access to your home. • Don’t leave any attractive valuables in the vehicle. • Always leave the vehicle interior clean and empty. It won’t look inviting. • Always park the vehicle in well-lit areas. • Always make every effort to use your residential garage (if you have one). • If you have a landlord, develop a close working relationship. Advise immediately about broken or burnt out lights, malfunctioning or miss-timed common garage doors and any occurrences that might happen. The landlord can’t fix a problem until they are aware of it. • Report suspicious activity to the police. With success of an easy return the criminal will stay in the neighborhood. Police investigators will be able to identify the criminal with any and all available intelligence from the public. Visit your local community police center for more information on this or any other crime prevention program.

EMC news - The Ottawa Police Service is asking for the public’s help to reduce the incidents of vehicle theft and thefts from vehicles. Thefts from vehicles is one of the easiest crimes for a thief, given the opportunity provides ease. The criminal will target unattended vehicles, at opportune moments, reducing the chances of being seen. Vehicles parked overnight in quiet residential neighborhoods are prime targets, with little chance of a witness. Vehicles parked at places of business or community transportation lots advertise a driver perhaps not returning for a long period of time. Thefts range from change in the ashtray, GPS systems, cigarettes and iPods, to the theft of the vehicle itself. Some of the vehicles stolen are used in more serious crimes of robbery or break and enter. Reduction in crimes of opportunity is directly related to some basic prevention tips: • Don’t leave the doors unlocked when you are away from the vehicle. • Don’t keep personal identification in the vehicle.

EMC news - The Friends of Lansdowne’s legal battle with the city is over. The citizen group announced on the morning of June 14 that it would not appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada in a bid to replace the Lansdowne redevelopment deal with one chosen through a new competitive bidding process. Friends of Lansdowne member Doug Ward delivered the news in front of the Horticulture Building at Lansdowne Park. He said that some Friends of Lansdowne won’t be happy with the decision, but the choice was “overwhelmingly� supported amongst the decision makers in the group. Although the group had legal advice that it had a chance of success at the Supreme Court, and many people wanted the Friends to pursue a case against sole-source procurement at that level, the fact that a panel of Ontario Court of Appeal judges voted 3-0 against the Friends during its last appeal dissuaded the group from further legal action Ward said. The resources available to the group are also limited and probably better used towards related causes, Ward said. The legal challenge cost about $600,000 in lawyers’ bills, about half of which has been paid through fundraising and donations, Ward said, adding that the decision not to appeal was not purely financial. “We move forward. While our legal case was active, we could not challenge the city on other fronts,� he said. “This is no longer the case. We want to assure our supporters that we will continue to work for them.� The group will put its efforts into scrutinizing “every prism� of the Lansdowne “bad deal� as it moves forward, Ward said. The group also wants to connect with other organizations in the city to “engage in a wider civic dialogue to promote greater integrity in city decision-making,� as well as work on changes to the Ontario Municipal Act to strengthen procurement laws. Mayor Jim Watson issued a statement minutes after the Friends made their announcement. “This is an important moment in our city’s history as it removes a significant legal hurdle which could have further delayed the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park,� he said in the statement. “It also provides greater certainty to our residents that the city can now proceed with the redevelopment of Lansdowne.�

The draft Older Adult Action Plan proposes several actions under eight areas: • Outdoor spaces and city buildings. • Transportation and mobility. • Housing. • Communication and information.

• Social, recreational, and cultural participation. • Civic participation and volunteering. • Community supports and health services. • Respect and social inclusion. The public is being asked to provide feedback on the

draft actions in two ways: complete a survey at ottawa. ca between June 20 and July 6, or attend a community feedback session. Registration for each community feedback session is limited to 50 people per session. You can register for the last

two sessions by visiting ottawa.ca/seniors or by calling 311. • Wednesday, June 27: Tanglewood Park Community Centre, 30 Woodfield Drive, from 1 to 4 p.m. • Thursday, June 28: John G Mlacak Centre, 2500 Campeau Drive, 1 to 4 p.m.

Alzheimer Society tees off Join in at Greensmere Susan Paul

Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County

EMC events - Peggy Grace’s fight with Alzheimer’s disease ended in 2007. Her four sons continue the fight by raising funds to benefit families still battling the disease. They are entering as a foursome in bitHeads’ golf tournament for the benefit of the Alzheimer Society at Greensmere Golf Club on June 26. When Leo Grace and his three brothers Mike, Bob and Jim started to notice changes in their mom’s behaviour in 2005, they had no idea what was happening to her – or to them. “She was losing her appetite and not making sense with what she said and was generally confused. We didn’t know much about Alzheimer’s disease until she was diagnosed at the Bruyère Clinic,” said Leo. “Fortunately, my friend Ted Burnett was a great resource for me, because his mom had also had Alzheimer’s disease, and he knew what the journey could be like.” Leo and Burnett are business colleagues – Leo as vice president of Capital Benefit Financial Group, and Burnett as vice president of Business Development at bitHeads, an Ottawa software firm. Now Leo golfs every year at the bitHeads annual golf tournament, which benefits the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County.

“It’s a great tournament, “says Leo. “They do it up right and we have a fantastic day. And I think my mom would be happy to see me helping to raise funds this way for Alzheimer’s – she was a sports fanatic.” Shortly after the diagnosis Peggy moved in with Leo and his wife Christine and their two children Geoff and Riley, until her final move to Forest Hill Long Term Care in Kanata. She died in December 2007 at the age of 85. “People who love to golf should give the bitHeads golf tournament a try,” said Leo. “It’s a great way to help raise funds for Alzheimer’s.” The bitHeads Golf Tournament is on Tuesday, June 26 at Greensmere Golf Club in Carp.

SERVING KANATA NORTH

City Councillor, Kanata North IMPORTANT PUBLIC MEETINGS A lot of important public meetings are being shoe-horned into the last part of June. Next week there are four meetings that are important for our community. The first of these is on Monday June 25th with a community meeting from 7 to 9 pm, Mlacak Centre, Halls A, B and C on the proposal for a development of up to 15 storeys at 1131 Teron Road near Bethune Condominium. Rather than have City staff and the developer make presentations, this meeting will be led by the KBCA and myself, in order to inform everyone about this development. We will also prepare the community’s position on suitable options for that property. Comments on the proposal are due by 6 July, so this will give everyone some time to deal with this crucial issue. On Tuesday, 26 June from 6:30 to 9 pm consultants will hold an open house on the third, and final, public session on the Environmental Assessment for the March Road Transitway, at the Mlacak Centre, Hall C. This is your opportunity to comment on the proposals. Last year the Province accepted an evaluation by the City that showed that the Kizell Wetland is a Provincially Significant Wetland. An open house to discuss changes to incorporate natural features, including the Kizell Wetland, into the Official Plan will be held on Wednesday, 27 June from 6:30 to 9 pm at the Mlacak Centre, Hall A. Come and see the changes and discuss them with City staff.

Rolling on Rick Nolan delivers a bowl at the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club’s green. The club hosts an open house at 2135 Huntley Rd., just south of Stittsville, on Saturday, June 23, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Last fall, the Kanata Seniors’ Council held a consultation to provide our views on the needs of older adults as the population of Ottawa ages. The next step involved compiling all the comments from across the City to develop an Older Adult Action Plan. A consultation to hear about this plan and make further comments is being held on Thursday, 28 July 28, Mlacak Centre, Halls A and B at from1 to 4 pm. I encourage those interested to pre-register through ottawa.ca/ seniors, as there is a limit of 50 people for this session.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS As well as 1131 Teron Rd., new applications have been submitted for a restaurant/micro-brewery, 3 Brasseurs, to be built near the AMC. Also, an application has been submitted to build a two-storey condominium office building at 30 Richardson Side Road. Another application to build a Milestones restaurant in Centrum is expected soon. I’ve been informed that pre-consultation has occurred for a hotel in the town centre area, and that zoning for the remainder of the Urbandale lands in the town centre will soon be submitted. At present those lands are in a holding zone.

TRANSIT FARES On July 1, the fare increases for all OC Transpo passes will occur. Until the PRESTO card is available, cash fares and tickets will remain at the current rate. Seniors will no longer be free on Monday and Friday afternoons but will have the new senior rate of $2 per trip at all times, except for free Wednesdays. ECOPASS holders who cancelled their ECOPASS by the 13 June are being contacted to be part of the PRESTO pilot project, which has been extended until the system is fully functional.

CANADA DAY On 1 July, you can enjoy a fabulous Canada Day right here in Kanata. Totally organized by volunteers, it features a stage with entertainment all day; children’s play area with face-painting, crafts, bouncy castles. There will be a food court, exhibits, entertainers, including Crash the Clown and the Suburban Monkeys, a mechanical bull, a midway and more. The day ends with a great fireworks display. Come to my tent at the celebration for more Canada Day cheer.

By Gabriel Mayost There is a stigma associated with Alzheimer’s disease that often prevents open discussion of the symptoms, but people like John Wilson are doing what they can to help change that. Wilson, and inhabitant of Renfrew, has dealt extensively with Alzheimer’s disease. Seven years ago, his father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and now, his mother has early onset symptoms of the disease. While people sometimes become forgetful as they age, in his father’s case, the symptoms were clear. “He was always forgetting names, which was normal,” say Wilson, “but forgetting things, like something he was supposed to pick up. And there were some driving issues, where he’d be somewhere with my mom and he’d go home without her.”

Wilson and his family confronted the situation by seeking out help. “We knew to get in touch with our doctor to get a referral for a gerontologist. We went through that waiting and talking with a couple

of different doctors just to try to get an actual diagnosis and find out if there was anything that could be done. “From there on, finding out what we can about Alzheimer’s disease through the Alzheimer Society.” Wilson credits the Alzheimer Society for providing information on the disease, available services, and what to expect. Wilson and his sister attended various seminars offered by the Alzheimer Society’s offices in Pembroke, Arnprior, and Ottawa. Wilson has since become involved with the Alzheimer Society. He was the second place winner in its Walk for Memories fundraising campaign for the last two years, and has arranged for speakers to address his community in order to spread awareness of the dementia services available in Ottawa and Renfrew County. “I guess the big thing is for people to realize that there is support and you don’t have to go through it alone,” he says. “Quite often, there are often only two family members or less

to deal with the load, and you end up with caregiver burnout.” Wilson has the following advice for those who are concerned about a family member experiencing memory loss: “Seek help as soon as you can. If the diagnosis is Alzheimer’s disease, there are medications that are available that can slow symptoms. And being involved with the Alzheimer Society makes you aware of what is available and what you can do.” John Wilson will be providing comments at the Alzheimer Society’s Annual General Meeting on June 26th at Hampton Inn Ottawa. Dr. Marcus Richards from University College London, UK, is the event’s featured speaker on memory loss and dementia with the focus on the aging brain and its consequences for health and function. Cost is $50 per person (includes a healthy lunch). To register or for more information, visit www.alzheimer.ca/ottawa or call 613-523-4004 in Ottawa or 1-888-411-2067 in Renfrew County.

EMC sports - The Nepean Synchro Swim Club came home from the Ontario Age Group Championships ranked first in Ontario, for the second year in a row. The club’s swimmers won two gold medals, four silver and one bronze as well as several fourth-, fifth- and sixthplace ribbons at the event, earning Nepean Syncro the Club Aggregate Award Trophy and the honour of being named the top synchronized swimming club in Ontario. Considered the largest synchronized swim meet in Canada, the four-day event welcomed over 500 competitive athletes from across the province who participated in more than 20 events. The event was particularly significant for the girls this year, as several of the members of the 2012 National Synchronized swimming team were on hand to award medals to the girls and take photographs, as part of a kick-off event prior to their departure

for the Olympic Games in London. In addition, the meet was the venue for the announcement of a special award, as senior swimmer Meghan Sommerville was named one of Synchro Ontario’s Athletes of the Year.

I was honoured this week by Lisa MacLeod, MPP for Nepean-Carleton with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. The Medal is a tangible way for Canada to honour Her Majesty for her service to this country. At the same time, it serves to honour signiďŹ cant contributions and achievements by Canadians.

EMC news - New summer schedules go into effect and several improvements will be introduced to the OC Transpo system on Sunday, June 24. New summer schedules will reflect the lower demand for service during the summer vacation period. School routes will be suspended until the fall and there will be minor schedule reductions on mainline and peak period routes. Routes 163 and 183 will be cancelled and some trips will be replaced by Routes 96 and 262. New schedules are available at OC Transpo sales centres, by calling 613-741-4390, and at www.octranspo.com. Summer service highlights include: • Route 96 will be extended in Stittsville west along Hazeldean Road to Carp Road, for improved access to shopping and residential areas. • New all-day service to Scotiabank Place and businesses along Palladium Drive with an extension of Route 96 Monday through Friday, which provides a new connection from downtown. • New service to local museums operating on weekends only throughout the summer. Route 129 will serve the Canada Aviation and Space Museum and new Route 185 will serve the Agriculture Museum and Experimental Farm, with connections to these routes at major Transitway stations. • Increased service on Route 129 on Saturdays to every 30 minutes, on Route 193 with an additional trip in the afternoon to serve RCMP employees, and on Route 262 with three additional trips. • Route 203 will be rerouted slightly to serve the West Carleton Housing Corporation in Carp. • Construction at the Trim Road park-and-ride lot in Orleans, which will commence this summer, includes 360 more spaces, improved accessible parking, and installation of emergency call boxes and cameras. The next scheduled service change will take place on Sept. 2. For automated bus arrival information, customers can call 613-560-1000, or text 560560, plus their four-digit bus stop number.

You’ll always see us laughing at each other and I think the crowd feeds off that. “You send off energy that the crowd sends right back at you and you send that back twice as hard. It’s kind of a cycle.” Keek will play the Urbandale Stage from 7 to 8 p.m. on July 1. Other musical acts that will take to the Urbandale Stage include: • The A.Y. Jackson Secondary School Glee Club at 11 a.m. • The Holy Trinity Catholic High School Rhythm and Blues Band at 12:30 p.m. • Recording artist Ashley Cr-

nic at 4 p.m. • The Contra Band at 4:30 p.m. • The B-List at 6 p.m. • Kim Mitchell at 8 p.m. BLUESFEST

July is setting out to be a big month for Keek.

The band is set to play the River Stage on July 8, along with Canadian pop-rock band Down With Webster. “We’re pretty stoked about that,” said Whitehead. For more information on the band, follow them on Twitter @Keekmusic or on Facebook by searching Keek.

EMC news - Kanata-based band Keek is set to rock the stage at the Canada Day in Kanata celebration at Walter Baker Park. The five-piece pop-rock band was selected from a number of applicants to open the show for Canadian rocker Kim Mitchell. “We’re really excited about it,” said Conor Whitehead, who sings main vocals. “A bunch of us have grown up in Kanata and have been going to this event for awhile so it’s pretty exciting to be a part of it this year.” He added the group is looking forward to sharing the stage with a Canadian icon. “Sharing the stage with Kim Mitchell, I mean he’s a classic,” said Whitehead, a former Holy Trinity Catholic High School student who now lives in Dunrobin. “This is going to be really big for us.” Keek – which includes Bridlewood resident Nathan Pearce on guitar and vocals, Matt Belanger from Hull on bass and vocals, Nepean’s Marek Luban on guitar and vocals, and Kyle “Willy” Williams, from Kanata Lakes, on keys and vocals – is looking forward to showcasing some new music. “We get to play a bunch of new songs that no one’s heard yet,” said Whitehead, who once played on stage with American punk-rock band Green Day. The band has been practicing at least three times a week and is working on bringing the whole package to the stage. “We’re going to be doing some really cool visual things that we’re stoked for,” said Whitehead. Keek’s music is family friendly and appeals to a wide

From the darkness to the light Tyler Kealey to perform songs from his new album at Bluesfest Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news – Tyler Kealey’s long search to find a producer for his second album ended on a stretch of Carling Avenue last February. The 31-year-old Bells Corners musician was driving home from Mono, Ont., a town north of Toronto, where he had his first meeting with Darryl Neudorf, a former drummer with Canadian rock band 54/40. It had been four months since the album’s previous producer dropped out of the project – four months of a fruitless search for a replacement. “It sort of left me high and dry and I had to scramble to find a way to do this and I wasn’t having much luck finding people who were available.” Lost in thought, Kealey flipped on the radio, and the sounds of 54/40’s I Go Blind blasted from the car’s speakers. “I took it as a bit of a sign,” said Kealey. “It felt like a signal from somewhere that, yeah, this was going to be good.” Kealey signed with Neudorf’s company, Operation Northwood, and over the

New album features an indie-rock sound with a splash of pop and haunting notes

BLUESFEST

Submitted

Tyler Kealey said his new CD sounds “a little bit spooky.” From KEALEY, page 42

The album features an indie-rock sound with a splash of pop, with “haunting piano notes.” “The sound is a little bit spooky,” said Kealey. “It’s an incorporation of violin and cello instead of electric guitars.

“It’s not a slick, commercial pop record like I thought I would make,” he said. “But it’s much more meaningful, and true to what I am.” Musicians on the track include cellist Alex McMaster, Kevin Kane, from Grapes of Wrath, acoustic guitar, and Steph McAlear, drums.

Kealey will once again hit the Bluesfest stage this year in the Barney Danson Theatre on July 8. “I think that will work really well with the new material because it’s more of a listening CD as opposed to a dancing CD,” said Kealey. “I think the theatre will be a great opportunity to showcase these new songs in the way I recorded them.” Kealey has been a fixture on the Ottawa music scene since he first started performing at the age of 12. He was playing accordion in his family’s Celtic band when he was a Grade 9 student at Holy Trinity Catholic High School. The versatile musician, who plays the piano, acoustic guitar and harmonica, has performed in a dueling piano show at downtown’s Fat Tuesday’s restaurant for several years and has toured and recorded

with bands like Quarter Life, harpoon, Shawn Tavenier and Charlie Major. For three years, Kealey studied jazz piano at Carleton University before dropping out of the program so he could pursue his music career full-time. “I got really, really busy performing music in Ottawa,” he said. Bluesfest offers local musicians a unique opportunity, said Kealey. “It’s the one gig you get to showcase what you do as an artist,” he said. “Ottawa can be a tough city when it comes to doing your own music.” In 2004, Kealey released Spotlight Sanctuary, a fivesong EP and in 2009 he produced his first full-length album, Characters.

The event will feature nine performers and runs from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Gaia store located at the Stittsville Shopping Centre on Stittsville Main Street.

EMC news - It will soon be possible to take home the puppets of Rock the Arts fame. The puppets teamed up with First Fret Music School – both Kanata Lakes-based organizations – to mix an audio CD featuring original puppets Ned, Fiona, Dex, Hank and Scurvy Scott. Sarah Argue, founder of Rock the Arts, and Adam Vrieling, founder of First Fret, will hold a CD release party

for Welcome to Creatureville on June 30 in Stittsville. “There will be singing and dancing puppets at the launch,” said Argue, who added children are always asking to bring the puppets home after shows. “Now they actually get to take them home.” Welcome to Creatureville features a story and full-length song by each puppet. Fan favourite Fiona tells a story about making the best out of a bad situation, while Dex explains how change can be a good thing through rock ’n’ roll. “It’s all about being a good person,” said Argue. “Like holding the door open for strangers or choosing to laugh when life gets hard.”

The CD will appeal to parents too. “We didn’t want anything cheesy,” said Vrieling. “If the CD is on in the car for three hours we didn’t want mom and dad to go insane.” Welcome to Creatureville uses many different instruments, including the guitar, the kazoo, a train whistle, ukulele, mandolin and piano, all played by Vrieling, who sings alongside Argue. “It just gives the CD a good variety,” said Argue.

Argue said the CD has been her most personal accomplishment to date. See PUPPETS, page 45

City names park after community leader Sheila McKee Theresa Fritz

theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC news – Sheila Elizabeth McKee loved her family, her community and the great outdoors. So, it was only fitting that those who knew and loved her gathered together last Friday as the City of Ottawa named a park in her honour. Mayor Jim Watson and West Carleton-March Coun. Eli ElChantiry were on hand for the renaming of Riverfront Park at 1730 Sixth Line Rd. to “Sheila McKee Park.” Also in attendance was Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, a one-time political colleague of McKee’s in the former City of Kanata. “It is a pleasure to have so many friends of Sheila McKee here today at this beautiful park dedication ceremony in her honour and in her memory,” said Watson. “Sheila was a woman who devoted her life to public service and making her community a better place. One would probably be hard pressed to find someone in Kanata or March rural that is as known or heard as Sheila Mckee.” McKee moved to Kanata in 1968 and become well known as a reporter and then editor of the Kanata Standard. “Through this role she developed a strong understanding of her community, the people and the issues the community faced each and every day,” not-

ed Watson. She continued her involvement in community affairs by moving into public life with the former city of Kanata. She was first elected as an alderman for Beaverbrook East in 1982 and served three terms. She returned to Kanata city council in 1991, representing Kanata North, and later March Rural, until the creation of the amalgamated City of Ottawa in 2000. “Sheila McKee was known for her sense of humour, her straightforward approach in dealing with issues and for having a genuine compassion for the people and the community she served,” said Watson. “She was the kind of person people trusted and respected.” McKee’s other commitments reached beyond the council chambers. She was also a member of the Pinhey’s Point board, a trustee on the Kanata Public Library board, vice-president and president of the March Rural Community Association, president of Community Child Care Ottawa, volunteer with the Kanata Golf Club, the South March Branch of the Women’s Institute, the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association and the City of Ottawa Rural Summit Task Force. “There is no doubt that Sheila McKee’s numerous contributions have touched the lives of many, not just in Kanata, in

And despite all her public commitments, she remained a devoted wife and mother until her death in 2010. For his part, El-Chantiry echoed the mayor’s sentiments. He recalled the first time he met McKee was when discussions were underway about changing the boundaries for

certain wards. He remembered her telling him that while she understood everyone was part of the City of Ottawa she wanted to make sure the March portion of the area would not be lost – hence West Carleton-March. El-Chantiry said in talking to individuals from the Ottawa River Canoe Club, which is located beside the park, everyone is please the park is being named for McKee.

Watson said McKee’s family really did share Sheila with the greater community because of all the commitments she had outside her home.

Having created Rock the Arts and performed at numerous schools, day camps and events, she said the CD is something that really speaks to her values. “This is the first thing I’ve made that’s so personal for me,” she said. Vrieling said although it was a puzzle to mix together, in the end, everything came together. “I think it turned out fantastic,” he said. “I’m very proud of it.” The Welcome to Creatureville launch and puppet show will take place at 10 a.m. at the Gaia Java Coffee Company Inc. store located at 1300 Stittsville Main St. Rock the Arts will also have CDs available during Canada Day in Kanata at Walter Baker Park on July 1, and will be at the Chapters in Centrum on Aug. 18, at 10 a.m. For more information, visit www.rockthearts.ca or email rockinthearts@gmail.com.

“It is a beautiful view to the river, something that was close to Sheila’s heart and to all of us. It is a beautiful area,” he stated.

Her grown children, Colleen and David, offered their recollections of their mother, as their father Gerry, listened attentively. “We wanted to express our sincere thanks, not only for the incredible tribute, but how completing fitting we think it is that a public park has been chosen to commemorate her legacy,” said Colleen. David said his mother grew up near the ocean and loved being near water and shorelines. Some of her favourite pastimes included beachcombing, skipping rocks and swimming things she loved to do them with her children. Colleen remembered how her mother had a soft spot for all animals and she noted it was so fitting to be in park that “sustains diverse animal life.” “Our mom, and our dad’s wife, was a people person and while parks are often created to highlight and protect nature, they are also designed to be used by people,” she said. “And the shared used of this entire park space by sailors, dog walkers, skiers, birders, picnickers and canoeists is exactly the kind of thing she believed in. So you can see why it seems very meaningful and incredibly touching, perfect in fact, that a park and in particular this familiar park…be chosen to bear the name of Sheila McKee Park.”

War of 1812 exhibit showcased at Goulbourn Museum EMC news - The War of 1812 came to Goulbourn last Sunday. Two hundred years since it began, the War of 1812 was the focus of a day-long celebration at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners. Visitors could learn through a new banner display all about the war. Information on some of the exceptional women who were part of the war, such

as Laura Secord, Maria Hill, Lydia Burke, Catherine Lyon, Agathe Nowlan and Lady Jane Vaughan, was also displayed. The museum told the story of the voyage of the 100th Regiment of Foot to Canada from England, complete with shipwrecks and the recovery of marooned soldiers. It was this 100th Regiment of Foot, after battles in the War of 1812, that provided many of the original settlers

for the Richmond and Goulbourn area in 1818. Re-enactment

Two white tents were set up as a re-enactment group in period uniforms were on hand to explain the life of the soldier 200 years ago. In the shaded rear area behind the Museum, the reenactors responded to questions about life and war for the soldiers of two centuries

ago. There was even the firing of a musket. There was a children’s tent as well as a photo booth with props depicting these days gone by. There was a weaving

display there as well as a barbecue raising funds for Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association players, a used book sale and a silent auction. The Richmond Legion

and the Goulbourn Historical Society both had tables under the large white tent which had been set up on the parking lot in front of the Museum’s History Centre building.

Artist’s work on display at Stittsville library John Curry

John.curry@metroland.com

EMC news – Mary Anne Robblee works with both canvas and clay as a painter and potter. And examples of both are on display this month on the ArtSpace wall and display area at the Stittsville library branch. Robblee, who lives in Constance Bay, has been an artist since the early 1970s but only added pottery to her artistic endeavours in 2003, becoming immediately hooked on working with clay. She said she finds that both her art and her pottery are creative outlets that balance her work as a social scientist. She sees the overlaps in these two art forms as signifi-

cant complimentary pursuits that draw upon common theories and techniques in design and composition. Robblee started drawing and painting as a child, studying art history and taking art classes throughout her high school years. She has taken art courses at a number of institutions and settings, most notably the Ontario College of Art, Lakehead University, Ottawa University, the Ottawa School of Art and, more recently, mixed media and abstract paintings at the Nepean Visual Arts Centre and Wallack’s in Bells Corners. Her mixed media paintings are largely acrylic with varied textures, materials and techniques to enhance her abstract expressions. She uses colour,

texture and mark making to create a unique visual language to her paintings. Robblee works in many media such as acrylic, oil, watercolour, printmaking, textile and clay. She started working in pottery in 2003 at a studio in West Carleton. Robblee is a member of the Ottawa Mixed Media Artists and Arts Ottawa East. She has won a number of awards for her art in juried art shows in the area and both her art and her pottery can be found in private collections across Canada, the United States and Europe. Robblee’s art and pottery can be found on display in the ArtSpace area in the Stittsville branch, 1637 Stittsville Main St., until the end of June.

EMC news - The latest X-ray technology is now available to the public in and around West Carleton. A new X-ray machine, acquired through the fundraising efforts of the West Carleton Health Access Foundation (WCHAF), has officially become digital. While the new machine was acquired to replace a 30year-old one inside the West Carleton Medical Centre in Carp, it was part of a much larger plan. The WCHAF was formed in 2010 to address the health needs of the West Carleton community. The X-Ray Vision Campaign was launched in March 2011 and by September 2011 the WCHAF had raised the funds to complete the first phase of the project and the new analog X-ray machine went into service a month later. The second phase involved converting the unit to digital capability while the third phase focused on acquiring the software necessary to transfer X-ray images and reports to and from area radiologists. The final phase of the campaign involved connecting the local system with the Queensway-Carleton Hospital. “We are a year ahead of schedule in providing this service,” said WCHAF fundraising chair June Lemmex. “It all happened so fast.” Part of the reason things happened sooner than expected had to do with the fact the foundation examined all procurement options when it came to converting the new analog machine to

She said one of the misconceptions is that the Xray machine is owned by the doctors at the medical centre. She emphasizes that is not the case. “This unit belongs to the community and belongs to the foundation. It is (a) community project,” Lemmex emphasized. “The foundation was put together to rescue this part (X-ray services) for the community. It is the community that owns this.” The X-ray service at the West Carleton Family Health Centre is open to the public, not just clinic patients and a variety of services such as cardio tests are also performed in the department.

gists can deal with any physician, any dentist, and any person that has a requisition form, not just someone affiliated with the medical centre. The centre, home to the West Carleton Family Health Team, is a busy primary health service centre offering a range of family practice services augmented by the skills of nurse practitioners, pharmacists and mental health team workers. Services offered include urgent care, full prenatal, delivery and postnatal care, preventive screening including sigmoidoscopies and palliative care, as well as dietary services. “It really is a stand alone facility,” added X-ray technologist Joanne Scharp. Scharp said the quality of the digital images is extremely high and the process is faster. An individual can have an X-ray taken and the results are available within 24 hours, as opposed to the previous week-long turnaround time. She also expressed gratitude to the foundation and community for supporting the project. “As an operator, I cannot tell you how gratifying it is to work in a place where the public not only said yes we want this, but were willing to put money into it.” Lemmex agreed and said she was pleased the community stepped up to support something that will benefit everyone. “I am just so happy for the community,” she stated. “It is so important to have this. As a member of the community, I am so grateful to have this.”

Additional funds must be raised to maintain the X-ray machine, which is owned by the WCHAF. “Even though we are digitalized, there is still an ongoing requirement for monies,” Lemmex said, adding the ongoing monthly payments for the lease will be required until it is paid off in five years.

MPP settles in at Queen’s Park compensated CEOs who don’t create nearly as many jobs as small and medium sized businesses. He advocates selling off government assets regardless of whether they make money or not. The LCBO should be sold because it will bring in a decent return, others should be sold because they are a drain on coffers.

Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – Life at Queen’s Park may seem “a bit overwhelming” for rookie MPP Jack MacLaren, but it hasn’t dented his principled stance on various political issues. The people, staff, other MPPs, the British-influenced rules and traditions: a lot of it came as something of surprise to him, when he spoke in the legislature for the first time on Feb. 27. But it is the notion that democracy is at work and that laws are being created that lend a sense of gravity to his job in Toronto. The member for CarletonMississippi Mills believes the work is too important, the ramifications too severe, to accept a phrase many absentmindedly toss around. He rejects Otto von Bismarck’s observation that politics is the art of the possible, especially when it comes to the McGuinty Liberals’ budget tabled in April. “Compromise is failure,” MacLaren said in a wideranging phone interview on June 8. “Why would you give away something when you are right?” His Progressive Conservative party came under fire for rejecting the budget out of hand, thereby allowing the minority Liberal government negotiate with the NDP to get a deal passed. The NDP won numerous concessions while the PC’s seemed to have little influence on final product. “It’s not about doing what’s right. It’s about staying in power,” MacLaren said of the Liberals. “If we continue to compromise, compromise, compromise, we’ll continue to go down.” The former seed salesman and farmer has stuck to issues close to his heart, and winning some attention for them. He recently tabled a bill to rein in the powers the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals weld. While the vast majority of private member’s bills don’t make it past first reading, MacLaren’s made it to the sec-

FUTURE ISSUES

Jack MacLaren ond. He credits support from the NDP, a party he respects as “principled” but not sharing his principles. He also helped ensure the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board stuck to its decision to build a much-needed school and expand another in Kanata North. He also waded into the PRESTO Card controversy, which saw the Liberals force a single-sourced deal for OCTranspo riders. He places the PRESTO issue at the same level of Ornge and e-Health, saying the single worst attribute of the Liberals is their apparent inability to stop spending money. It isn’t that spending on all day kindergarten or green energy or others aren’t worth spending on, he said. But that the government can’t afford to when the deficit hovers around $15 billion. On green energy, however, McLaren said the Liberals should have realized back when it was planning to create industries out of wind and solar power that they were failing in Europe; that if the real issue was clean energy they should have paid Quebec for James Bay electricity. “That was just plain dumb,” he said. “The Liberals continue to spend too much money and aren’t making the tough decisions.” MacLaren looks to the middle and lower classes for austerity measures (public sector wage freeze, for example) but not at what the Occupy Movement has dubbed the one per cent. MacLaren favours tax cuts to large corporations, many of which give profits to heavily

Looking forward, the Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP plans to tackle landfills. He is convinced some form of incineration – such as what is done in Europe and Brampton – should be used in many more municipalities. He said we should be converting garbage into badly needed energy. A favourite topic is private landowner rights. MacLaren’s family, from McLaren’s Landing in West Carleton, have owned their property for many generations. They have a strong belief that they can do almost anything they want on their land. But others – often speaking through the province’s conservation authorities – see no clear delineations between properties, and don’t hesitate to place crippling restrictions in order to save obscure species from possible extinction. The former Ontario Landowners Association and Carleton Landowners Association president doesn’t see the issue as something affecting farmers and other rural people. Plenty of suburban homeowners can and do take such matters seriously, MacLaren insists. While tough on some issues to the point of stridency, MacLaren is in agreement with leader Tim Hudak’s new approach to woo voters. Hudak will reportedly take fewer shots against the Liberals while offering more solutions to challenges the province faces. It’s a kinder, gentler approach. What that will mean in the long term for MacLaren, colleague Randy Hillier and others on the right of the party is anyone’s guess.

Venta Preparatory plans expansion Theresa Fritz

Theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC news - Venta Preparatory plans to build a new school at its present location near Carp. The project, the biggest undertaking since the school’s inception in 1981, carries an $8 million pricetag and will modernize the educational facility. According to Sue Wilson, Venta’s director of development, the project has been talked about for years. There was talk of adding on to existing buildings, and new construction, but in the end, a decision was made to build a brand new building across from the existing school. “The board of directors has decided it is not feasible to go on this way,” she said. This way, school can continue to go on during construction.” David Mailing and Associates of Stittsville has designed the new school to feel like a home and not an institution. This is especially important since Venta has a residential component for its boarding students. The new school will include an entrance to be known as the great hall, 10 new classrooms, a new art studio, a full equipped science lab, a refurbished music room, a new library/computer hall and a language laboratory/resource and tutorial centre. A large dining hall will allow the student body to dine together and a new residence with its own study room will house 24 students. Nestled in a rural setting on Old Carp Road, Venta Preparatory was founded and opened in 1981 by Dr. Agatha Sidlauskas on a farm she purchased in 1958. It originally operated as a summer camp from 1958 to 1979 as an offshoot of the child study centre program at the University of Ottawa. Since that time, the school has

earned a reputation for its small classes and student-teacher ratios. “We have 100 students enrolled,” Wilson said, adding the student population would never increase beyond 130. The capital campaign, entitled Let The Talent Soar, will require support from internal as well as external sources. “We are a private school so we receive no government funding,” said Wilson, adding school funding comes from parents of students, grandparents of students, alumni and donations. While these internal sources of funding will be pursued for the campaign, help from the community will also be sought. “We also want to do outreach in the community. We want people to know this is happening in their community. “We are not putting a shovel in the ground until we have 90 per cent committed (to the campaign total),” Wilson said. In keeping with community spirit, students have been chosen to be the face of the capital campaign. The first students to take on the role are seniors Nick Fassbender and Madison Richard, both of Ottawa. To learn more about Venta Preparatory School’s capital campaign, contact Sue Wilson at 613-719-9940 or email her at Swilson@ventaprep. com.

Senior Venta students Nick Fassbender and Madison Richard are the faces of the school’s capital campaign to raise funds for a new school building. Theresa Fritz

Rideau Heritage Route signs directing traffic EMC news –Heritage route signage that helps visitors to Ottawa enjoy the Rideau Heritage Route arrives in Ottawa. The Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association (RHRTA) features Ontario’s largest TODS signage project which began in 2006 linking all the communities along its route with over 100 signs from Kingston to Kemptville. The signs direct visitors as it winds its way through historic sites, charming towns and villages, quaint attractions and spectacular recreation areas. Currently, the signage stops at the City of Ottawa’s municipal boundary, which the approved motion at city council today ended. Today, the RHRTA is pleased to welcome 28 new signs this year that will direct visitors to and from the City of Ottawa’s southern boundary near Kars, into the City of Ottawa and back again, completing the signed route between Ottawa and Kingston.

Coun. Steve Desroches, who has spearheaded the project, says that, “This project will see 28 bilingual signs installed to guide visitors along the scenic route into the downtown core and finalize a project that started after the ice storm, bringing tourists along the heritage route which connects Kingston and Ottawa along the Rideau River. “This initiative is expected to boost economic development in south Ottawa, including Barrhaven, by benefiting from the more than 3.7 million tourists who visit the city each year.”

Public trustee Pam Fitzgerald has resigned citing poor health and political divisions on the board as her reasons. her recovery. She added that the chair has a big role to play in bringing the board of trustees together. “There are trustees I keep close counsel with who have made an effort to reach out and I think that’s important moving forward,” MacLeod said. Fitzgerald has been in her post since 2006 and took a run at provincial politics as a NDP candidate for the riding of Ottawa West-Nepean during the March 2010 by election to replace Jim Watson as MPP. Fitzgerald said she doesn’t have any political aspirations for her future and plans to focus on her health and personal life. “I woke up this morning and thought ‘This will be the first time since my son was born that I will have my eve-

nings free,’” she said. “I want to go dancing.” Fitzgerald said after some 20 years of being an advocate and trustee, she is planning on taking advantage of a more normal schedule. Orleans-Cumberland trustee John Shea said he has seen Fitzgerald work almost every night for the last six years. “I have respect for the decision she made to step down,” he said. “I hope she comes to a place where she isn’t being fueled by division.” During her tenure as trustee, Fitzgerald said she was most proud of her work with a program at the Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre called Pathways to Education that helps to mentor and tutor children coming from low-income families to make sure they stay in school and

‘‘ Proud to build a better quality of life ’’ R0011405437_0517

EMC news - A public school board trustee Pam Fitzgerald announced her resignation on June 14, citing poor health and political divisions in the board as reasons for leaving her post. The 58-year-old, who covers the area that corresponds with the municipal College ward, was diagnosed with colon cancer in December. Fitzgerald there’s a lot going on at the school board, with pressure from the province to amalgamate the boards and upcoming negotiations with teachers and staff this fall. “There’s a lot of pressure on the board. The negotiations in the fall could lead to labour action,” she said. “I thought it best to leave now because of my health. That way there’s time for someone else to get up to speed.” Fitzgerald also said she finds the “political horse trading” at the board level tiresome. “You’re going to have that in any political arena to some extent,” she said. “But there really should be more concern for the kids.” Donna Blackburn, trustee for Barrhaven and Knoxdale/ Merivale, was involved in some politics when NepeanCarleton MPP Lisa MacLeod and Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder threatened to force her to resign over her decision to fund a rebuild of Broadview Public School, but Blackburn said she has put the issue behind her. “I have moved on and we have work to do as a board,” Blackburn said. “The board is doing well; we passed the budget and hired the staff we needed. Yes, there are glitches from time to time, but the board works well.” MacLeod said she wanted to thank Fitzgerald for her service and wished her well in

Relay for Life gets in gear at Walter Baker Park John Curry John.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - There’s the Fuzzy Cuffs. The Ultimate Warriors. The Celtic Cougars. The Pirates of the Caribbean. And then there’s Brenda’s Family of Angels, Team Triple Play, Pink Power, Faith Force, Jammie Joggers and We Shall Overcome, among others. All in all, over 25 teams with up to 15 members, assembled at Walter Baker Park in Kanata to participate in the all-night Relay For Life fundraising event of the Canadian Cancer Society. These teams, armed not only with their unique identifying names but also some with costumes such as the Pink Power team with its Hawaiian theme, saw their members take turns walking, running or strolling around the pathway around the lake at Walter Baker Park, starting in warm sunshine at 7 p.m. on Friday evening, June 15 and carrying on until 7 a.m. the next morning. The event began with its traditional Survivors Lap in which cancer survivors took a victory lap around the pathway, this year all holding onto a “rope” of yellow t-shirts tied together. And as these survivors undertook their victory lap, each wearing a yellow survivors’ tshirt, the name of each and

the duration of their victory over cancer was announced, with the time ranging from just one month to 43 years. Among the teams taking part in this year’s Relay For Life was the Stittsville District Lions Club team which carried a banner identifying the team with Lions Club member Jack Burke preceding it holding the Lions flag. Stittsville District Lions Club member Don Zogalo participated in the survivors’ victory lap as he is a ten year survivor from his battle with cancer. LUMINARY

This year’s Relay For Life event also included the always-inspiring luminary ceremony at 10 p.m. in which candle luminaries in honour of or in memory of those affected by cancer were lit in their places all around the pathway, providing a glow of hope in the descending darkness and giving inspiration to all that cancer can and will be beaten. The Relay For Life is a major fundraising event for the Canadian Cancer Society, last year raising $55 million in communities across Canada. The funds are used by the Canadian Cancer Society to prevent cancer, to fund research about cancer, to inform

Kanata last Friday/Saturday, teams set up tents around the grounds which served as headquarters for the team, where members could rest while another member or member represented the team on the pathway, providing a

continuous team presence in the relay. This Relay For Life event for the west end of the city of Ottawa began in Stittsville but relocated to Walter Baker Park last year where it was held again this year.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, start thinking about curbing your spending. Your finances are in trouble if you don’t make some changes. More is going out than is coming into your accounts.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, a good night is in store this week. The night brings rewards you did not expect. Working hard yields more than financial success.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, there’s not much you can do about the current situation. Complaining about things won’t solve anything, so why waste the breath? Better news is on the horizon.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Trust your instincts, Gemini. Someone who seems like they have your best interests at heart really may have ulterior motives. Heed Capricorn’s sage advice. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you may feel like you’re the only one keeping the ship from sinking. However, this is not the case. Behindthe-scenes work is taking place, too. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, it seems as if drama is always following you. That’s because you tend to be the life of the party or prefer all eyes be on you. Think about being less conspicuous. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, it’s hard to keep friends if you are overly critical of the way they live their lives. Remember, no one is perfect — including you. Keep an open mind.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Expect to expend a little energy this week to get the job done right, Aries. Leaving it up to others is not the best way to go in this instance. Step up.

Don’t expect this week to go smoothly, Libra. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it will go badly. It’s just full of distractions and interruptions.

Taurus, focus on the big picture or nothing will get accomplished. It’s too easy to get lost in all of the little details. Follow through on the task at hand.

Scorpio, you may be feeling sensual and romantic for the next few days. It could be because of all of the positive attention you have been receiving lately.

Gemini, someone will catch your ear and it will only serve to confuse you. You won’t know what to make of it but don’t get worried. It will all begin to make sense once a few pieces fall into place.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

You may feel happy when a friend or family member comes over to visit today, Sagittarius. You have been waiting for some company for quite a while. Enjoy the visit.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Lots of people need your help, Cancer. Focus all of your energy on helping others for the time being. You will feel good about your efforts and the good karma that results from them.

Capricorn, your mind will be all over the place this week unless you find someone to help you get focused. Think of it as having a babysitter who can call you out if you start to stray.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

3. Tennis’ Kournikova 4. TV cook Ray 5. Canadian Wildlife Fed. 6. Exclamation of triumph 7. A cut & polished mineral 8. One who removes 9. Stout stick, larger at one end 10. Town in Ghana 11. Lowest or bottom part 14. Smoothing tool 15. Dentist’s group 21. Atomic #48 23. Providence school (abbr.) 24. Allot a site to 25. Pole (Scottish) 26. Hop kilns 27. Mister 28. London palace 29. Finger millet 30. Bestow an honor on

Leo, you need to figure out how to turn all of your great ideas into workable projects -- especially ones that can make you some money. Get started on a plan.

Aquarius, you will be amazed at the results when you finally set your mind to something. Stick with what you’re doing and enjoy the ride.

Change will be all around you, Virgo. While you’re not overly excited about it, you realize change is essential to growing in your life and career. New work arrangements need to be made.

Pisces, help around the house or at the office this week and the work will benefit you and all of the other people with whom you interact.
