EMC news - Hockey fans in Ottawa are just six months away from having a unique chance to see the world’s most talented female hockey players in action.

From April 2 to 9, Ottawa will host the 2013 International Ice Hockey Federation Women’s Championship at Scotiabank Place and the Nepean Sportsplex.

The event will feature the top 10 women’s teams from around the globe vying for the world championship.

At a press conference on Oct. 11, the federal government announced it was supporting the event to the tune of $500,000.

“Hosting the 2013 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship will not only provide an economic boost to the Ottawa region, it will also demonstrate that Canada is truly a leading sport nation,” said Bal Gosal, minister of state for sport.

He said the government was pleased to support an event that will offer Canadian athletes the opportunity to compete against the world’s best on home soil, as they continue to be a huge inspiration to a younger generation of hockey players.

“Hosting this amazing event will keep the momentum going around women’s hockey while allowing players to compete in a world class tournament here at home,” he said.

The announcement came as countries around the world marked the first International Day of the Girl.

EMC news - Students at John Young Elementary School took part in setting a world record on Friday, Oct. 12.

The school was one of 135 locations – eight in Ottawa – that will set a record

for the most practical science lessons taught simultaneously across Canada.

The class was on Bernoulli’s principle, which involves the movement of a fluid through a pressure difference.

Heather Darch, a scientist at Environment Canada and parent of Grade 3 stu-

dent Timothy, taught the lesson involving balloons, air, straws and cups of water.

“I thought it would be an awful lot of fun for them to do,” said Darch, who approached the school about taking part in the record.

Students in grades 1 through 6 took part in the science lesson.

This was a way for the students to make history and help set a world record, said Darch, who lives in Glen Cairn.

“I think they did a great job.”

Howl-O-Ween Pugstock raising funds for dog rescue

EMC news - The eighth-annual Howl-O-Ween Pugstock is sure to be a tail-wagging good time this year.

The event will take place at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre on Sunday, Oct. 28, from noon to 3:30 p.m. The Howl-O-Ween Pugstock is a fundraiser for the non-profit Under My Wing – Pug Rescue, which takes in abandoned pugs and helps find them a forever home.

The rescue organization is always in need of foster homes and donations, said Diane Maroosis, volunteer foster co-ordinator. This past year, Under My Wing had to close its doors because they were packed full.

“It was the first time we had to close our intake,” said the Bridlewood resident.

“It was pretty frantic. We had a lot of pugs.”

She added they were able to reopen shortly after thanks to a number of adoptions.

GRAND PRIZE

HOWL-O-WEEN

Maroosis said she’s hoping the Howl-O-Ween Pugstock will raise more than $4,000, which is what the event brought in last year. An all-breeds event, animal owners are invited to dress up with their pets.

“This is probably one of our most fun events,” said Maroosis, who currently has four pugs calling her house home.

The Halloween-themed fundraiser, which only costs $2 for admission, helps to pay for vet

The eighth-annual Howl-O-Ween Pugstock raises funds for Under My Wing – Pug Rescue.

It’s an all-breeds event and dogs and their owners are invited to dress up in costumes. bills, surgeries, food, leashes, brushes and other necessary items.

“Any of the money that comes in…goes directly back to the pugs,” she said. “Things we need to keep the pugs healthy.”

A number of contests will be held throughout the afternoon, including one for best costume, the pug with the curliest tail, the oldest dog, and the most wrinkles.

“It’s a hoot,” said Maroosis.

There will be an agility demonstration, and pugs will be invited to test their dexterity after the show. As well, the fundraiser will feature a number of vendors, veterinarians, a pet photographer, a pug café, a silent auction, raffles, and an adoption corner.

“We bring our foster pugs with us,” said Maroosis. “(People) they can come and

meet the foster pugs.”

If families aren’t quite ready to make a commitment, they can apply to become a foster home – the rescue supplies foster families with everything needed.

“It’s always something we’re in desperate need of,” she said.

UNDER MY WING

Under My Wing – Pug Rescue is run entirely by volunteers and has re-homed 238 dogs since it was founded in 2006.

The organization rescues pugs from across the province and into parts of Quebec, working with other shelters to offer the dogs their best shot at a new life.

Currently, Under My Wing is working to adopt out two more senior pugs – Jaydee, 9,

and Ziggy, 10.

Jaydee, a female, was an owner surrender and has been with the rescue since the beginning of September. The little tan-and-black pug is described as a cuddler who enjoys her walks and is an “enthusiastic eater.”

Ziggy, a male, has been at the rescue since mid-August.

An owner surrender, the mostly black pug is loving, enjoys human companionship and belly rubs, but isn’t needy.

“He’s just kind of a quiet guy,” said Maroosis, adding adopting a more senior pet is a great route for many people.

“When you adopt an older dog you know what you’re getting,” she said, adding pugs live to an average age of 15. “(They’re) just content to be with you.”

Hosting championship will inspire girls to try hockey: OWHA president Continued from page 1

Eddie Rwema/Metroland

Meghan Agosta, left, member of Team Canada since 2004, Mayor Jim Watson, Bal Gosal, minister of state for sport and 2010 winter Olympics gold medalist Tessa Bonhomme.

“It is not a right. It is a privilege,” she said. “Playing for the national team has always been my dream, ever since I was six years old, and to be able to put on that jersey the first time was a dream come true.”

Agosta hopes she can inspire as many young women to be as successful as she has been.

“If I can inspire somebody to do something special, then I will be honoured,” she said.

“It is not about the gold medals that we have won, it is about inspiring somebody to do something special in their lives.”

For Bonhomme, women’s hockey has come a long way.

In 20 years from now, she hopes women will have a fully-functioning professional league, one that not only has a high-level competition that there is now, but one that also has packed rinks.

Bringing the women’s world championship back to Ottawa will inspire younger generations of girls to try hockey and stay in the game, said Fran Rider, president of the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association.

The first-ever women’s world championship was hosted by Ottawa 23 years ago, with Canada claiming a gold medal.

“This is going to be a tremendous event for the people of Ottawa,” said Mayor Jim Watson. “To have the best women hockey players in the world coming to compete in our home town is not only great for the teams, but it is going to be even better for those young girls who are aspiring to participate in the national, international and Olympic level.

It is going to inspire the next generation of young hockey players to get involved.”

On hand for the announcement were Canadian players Meghan Agosta and Tessa Bonhomme, who have been involved with the national team since 2004.

A two-time Olympic gold medalist and top scorer in the history of NCAA women’s hockey, Agosta said wearing the Canada jersey is always an honour.

“We have the product and we showed it in Vancouver,” she said. “We are on our way there. It just takes time.”

The 2013 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship is being hosted in partnership by Hockey Canada, the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association and Senators Sports and Entertainment.

“We look forward to seeing fans fill our arenas to watch the top female players from across the globe take to the ice this April,” said Cyril Leeder, president of Senators Sports and Entertainment. He added that he expects the tournament to be another record setting event.

“The 2013 IIHF Women’s World Championship here in Ottawa will be the largest congregation and celebration of women’s hockey ever staged,” said Leeder.

“We have a number of highlevel goals for this event and one of them is to set an attendance record and to establish a new record of 200,000 people attending this event that will surpass the record set in Winnipeg in 2007.”

They also hope to generate $30 million in economic activity, a million higher from what was generated from NHL All-Star Weekend in Ottawa in January.

The record setting attempt helped kick off the beginning of National Science and Technology Week, which ran from Oct. 12 to 21.

“Everyone was excited,” said Darch, adding fun experiments help cement a love for science in students.

Sixteen stations were set up in the school’s gym, with around 10 students each.

A total of 158 students took part in the lesson, developing a hypothesis, conducting two experiments, and recording their findings.

“I think it went fabulously,” said Grade 3 teacher Alana Eritou, who helped organize

the event.

“I was really pleased with the enthusiasm the kids showed and it was a really big success.”

Oct. 21 Geoheritage Day to highlight natural features Jessica Cunha and Brier Dodge jessica.cunha@metroland.com

GEOHERITAGE

The event is run by Carleton’s department of earth sciences and the Ottawa Gatineau Geoheritage Project.

Explore Geoheritage Day is being run to make residents aware of unique or special geographic features in neighbourhoods and to share the impact those features have on the topography of the city.

“The reason that we started the event was just to get people to look at the places that they go to in a different way,” said Beth Halfkenny, curator and outreach co-ordinator at Carleton’s department of earth sciences. “To show them something that they might have overlooked that’s part of nature. The rocks beneath them have determined what the landscape is.”

Other Ottawa locations featured on Oct. 21 include Hog’s Back Park, Cardinal Creek Karst in Orléans, and Brebeuf Park, Champlain Bridge and Champlain Lookout in Gatineau.

EMC news - In a surprise move after nine years as premier of Ontario, on Oct. 15 Ottawa South MPP Dalton McGuinty announced he is stepping down as premier.

The 57-year-old was the first provincial premier who called Ottawa home.

“That was historic for our community to have a premier,” said Ottawa WestNepean MPP Bob Chiarelli, a close colleague of McGuinty.

McGuinty asked party president Yasir Naqvi, MPP

for Ottawa Centre, to convene a leadership convention at the earliest opportunity.

McGuinty said he will re-

ment of relentless progress, we’re always looking for new ideas and ways to renew ourselves,” McGuinty’s speech read. “And I’ve concluded that this is the right time for Ontario’s next Liberal premier and our next set of ideas to guide our province forward.”

Having a local MPP leading the provincial government for nine years has “paid off big time” for Ottawa,

main leader and premier until a new Liberal leader is found and he will remain as the MPP for Ottawa South until the next election – a seat he has held for 22 years.

Chiarelli said there was a general sense that this term would be a “transitional time” for McGuinty, but the news he was stepping down was a surprise and came sooner than expected.

EMC news - Carp Ridge will be a featured landmark during Explore Geoheritage Day on Oct. 21.

Volunteers and Carleton University students will be at locations throughout the city to run educational sessions on unique geographic features as part of National Science and Technology Week.

The trail includes metamorphic and igneous rocks “of the Precambrian Grenville Province of the Canadian Shield and the overlying Paleozoic Nepean Sandstone along the down faulted southern margin of the Ottawa Bonnechere Graben system,” according to the university.

The hike will begin at the intersection of Klondike and Second Line roads at noon.

McGuinty steps down as premier

Chiarelli said.

When McGuinty became the provincial Liberal party’s leader 16 years ago, the Ontario Liberals had won just one election in 50 years.

“We were in the wilderness, and he brought us back.

He brought us back in style and I think with tremendous credibility,” Chiarelli said.

“He delivered big time to this community.”

Herongate resident Perry Marleau wasn’t convinced that McGuinty’s time as leader was very beneficial for the area.

Women’s hockey to be feast for starved fans

H

ockey starved fans will soon be treated to a feast, when Ottawa plays host to the 2013 International Ice Hockey Federation Women’s Championship next April.

The games will take place at the Nepean Sportsplex and Scotiabank Place from April 2 to 9, with the world’s top 10 teams competing for the world championship.

The tournament comes as welcome news to a city struggling with the loss of

revenue from the National Hockey League lockout.

There’s no telling how long the lockout will last – it could range anywhere from a month to an entire season.

Fans have been placed once again in the middle of a dispute between owners and players over revenue sharing, a conflict that has left casualties among hotels, restaurants and other businesses that depend on money generated by NHL games.

The women’s world hock-

ey championship is expected to generate $30 million in economic activity, according to Cyril Leeder, president of Senators Sports and Entertainment, one of the hosts of the tournament during a press conference on Oct. 11.

The games are also expected to bring in an estimated 200,000 spectators, he said.

Spectators will rent hotel rooms, purchase food at restaurants and buy gas at gas stations, boosting the city’s

economy and encouraging temporary job creation.

The last time a Canadian city hosted the women’s world hockey championship, in 2007, the games generated $29 million in the city of Winnipeg.

The games also promise some exciting hockey, with the best players in the world competing for their countries.

Some of these players will be putting on the Team Canada jersey for the first

time and competing for their country on an international stage, an honour that overshadows any medal count or the amount of money generated by the tournament.

Fans will also be treated to a revival of the long-standing rivalry between Team Canada and Team USA, traditionally two of the best teams in women’s hockey.

The tournament will also serve to inspire a new generation of hockey players, some of whom may aspire to

one day compete on a national and international stage.

Let’s face it, women’s hockey does not receive the same amount of coverage or support as men’s hockey.

If the NHL lockout wipes out the 2012-13 season, people won’t be distracted by the playoffs, giving a boost to the profile and fan base of women’s hockey.

The federal government has announced it will support the tournament to the tune of $500,000 – a welcome investment in our national sport.

The women’s world hockey championship serves as a reminder that NHL hockey isn’t the only game in town.

COLUMN

Life in a super-sized society CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

W

e may not be getting better but we’re certainly getting bigger.

You realize this every time you go shopping. Look how big the shopping cart is – way bigger than it used to be.

It’s like you’re pushing a truck down the aisle.

The stuff you put in it is big too.

And we should have mentioned how big the store is. If you walked from one side to the other without stopping to put any big items in your big cart it would still take you five minutes.

The store is big because it has a big selection – not just groceries, but chairs and TV sets and toys and pharmaceutical stuff. Some of those things are bigger than you expected to find in a grocery store, but fortunately you have a big cart.

You pay your big bucks and wheel the big cart out to the parking lot, which is really big.

Most of the cars in it are big too. That’s a good thing for carrying big groceries, maybe not so good in other respects.

In fact, there are a whole lot of respects in which big is questioned, but not by too many people yet. When “big� is used as an adjective in our society it means “good.�

Then you drive onto the big highway that goes where small neighbourhoods used to be.

It would all be alarming if you suddenly arrived from a place where things were smaller, but those of us who have been around here for a while have got used to all this bigness.

Look what we’re getting in Ottawa: more big buildings, a big development at Lansdowne

Park, a big casino. You don’t see politicians bragging about the small things they’ve created.

They may have forgotten how to do that.

Big is all around us. When we go to the movies it is to a big building with many big theatres inside with wide seats and ample legroom. When we order snacks at the movies the small popcorn is huge and so is the small drink.

It is no surprise that people are getting to be pretty big too. A lot of experts worry abut that, but how do you expect people to stay small in such a big environment?

Not that everything is big. Some things that we wish were big aren’t, such as parking spaces.

And then there are airplanes. About the only place where we are treated as if we were small is on airplanes. The seats are narrow and the legroom is only adequate for children. Those of us who are not children feel as if we have accidentally stumbled onto the wrong plane, a children’s plane. Maybe somewhere on the tarmac is the proper plane, a grown-ups’ plane with seats that fit us and aisles where two grown-ups can walk by each other.

But on this airplane we just feel too big now.

The feeling intensifies when we are brought a meal. It is on a tiny tray with little utensils wrapped in plastic which we find there is no place to put once removed. Our fingers are too big to perform the tasks demanded of them. We are all thumbs and the thumbs are too big, too.

You know the feeling. As you wrestle with all of this your shoulders collide with the shoulders of the person next to you. Somewhere inside one of the bits of plastic are a tiny plastic fork, a tiny plastic knife, a tiny salt and a tiny pepper and something to wipe up any food you might spill if you are ever able to get it unwrapped.

You wish, while you struggle, that you were in a giant movie theatre with a small (big) popcorn and a small (big) drink and that the movie theatre could fly.

You appreciate bigness suddenly, except for your own.

she tells me, is she made the pastry a few days ago in anticipation.

Then she rests. We chat again, she probably brings me another gourmet coffee – or, depending on the time of day, a slightly stronger cocktail. While I’m in the bathroom for a moment, (I’m guessing), she whips up some stuffing.

But I realize her secret is that she’s actually not “doing it all,” as I thought at first glance. She makes trade-offs between things that are important and those that really don’t matter; she’s actually extremely good at letting things go and also at delegating tasks that can be delegated. If the turkey isn’t served up perfectly, no matter, at least it got to the table and it’s delicious. If the kids need to spend some time with a babysitter while she works on an essay, that’s what needs to be done. If I have two hands to tackle the dinner dishes, she fully expects, or asks, that it be done.

I came home from my weekend away well-rested and full, not to mention inspired. I spent the next two days baking and making soup and working on that book I’ve (actually, never) wanted to write. I went for brisk walks in the mornings and tried doing things in snippets like my friend does.

I’ve accomplished a lot and, you know, it feels good. Next on my to-do list? Purchase one of those gliding rocking chairs. After all, it’s all about balance.

W NE TING LIS

I started watching the way she worked and thinking about the secrets to success in life. And by success, I mean accomplishing a lot in a day, being healthy, having four healthy children, earning a good income and developing oneself academically -- all things which my friend is doing at the same time, in an effortless way.

I noticed a few things.

For one, she is extremely good at thinking ahead. Her brain is like a little computer database, ticking off tasks as they’re completed. She’s also great at taking advantage of snippets of time, which most of us, frankly, would spend lounging in a rocker.

Early morning, after feeding the baby, when everything is “under control” (ie: kids have breakfast that had been prepared the day before and guests are rocking comfortably with gourmet coffees in-hand), she goes for a 20-minute run. It’s efficient, she’s cleared her head and she’s powered up for the day. She pops the (extremely contented, I might add) infant into a bouncy chair, while she chops up something for tomorrow night’s dinner. Then she takes a pause to go feed the baby, have a conversation with guests, set up a craft for her older offspring or read to her toddler.

The toddler and guests now entertained, the baby now full, she slips into the kitchen (almost unnoticed) and, I kid you not, whips up a pumpkin cheesecake pie from scratch. The secret,

Marleau, a self-indentified Conservative and former municipal council candidate in 2006 and 2010, says “simple favouritism” has helped propel McGuinty at the provincial level, but without that local support, he would have a difficult time making a federal Liberal leadership bid, as some pundits have suggested.

“Dalton is really well liked in Ottawa South,” Marleau said.

“He’s a homegrown boy … no one ever says anything bad about him.”

As a high-profile minister of transportation and infrastructure and a former Ottawa mayor, Chiarelli didn’t rule out a run at the leader’s seat.

“I’ve always said throughout my whole political career, ‘You never say never,’” Chiarelli said. “Today is a time to bear down and continue to deliver good government and to show some respect for the legacy of Premier Dalton McGuinty … I will turn my mind to my political future.”

Other Ottawa-area politicians with Liberal affiliations weren’t available for comment at press time.

The evening announcement came amid opposition accusations that McGuinty misled the legislature over power plant cancellations that will cost taxpayers upwards of $230 million and pressure from teachers’ unions over his efforts to freeze their wages and take away their ability to strike.

But McGuinty cited party

veryone says you can’t aspire to be superwoman.

But I have a friend who really seems to do it all, and more. I love this friend. I can’t be her, but I love her. She has four children, including a newborn and a toddler. In her day job, she runs a communications department. While on maternity leave, since July, she has filled her pantry cellar with preserves. At a glance, I’d guess there are 100-plus jars of jam, chutney, pears, peaches and fruit cocktail in there. She’s done this while breastfeeding full-time and working on her MBA – you know, in her spare time.

“Doesn’t it make you sick?” an elderly relative asked me recently.

On the contrary, it makes me inspired.

We recently spent the weekend at her house. I took advantage of an extremely comfortable gliding rocking chair and foot stool, rocking my baby to sleep constantly, while she served me gourmet coffees and delectable homemade muffins. (I have no idea where they came from. They just sort of appeared).

On the morning of Thanksgiving, I asked if I could help. “Nope,” she replied. “I’m good. And just so you know it’s not going to be all stressful until lunchtime.

I’m just going to pop in and out of the kitchen as needed, but you probably won’t even notice me cooking a turkey.”

Fine with me. Had I been cooking, everyone would know it. It would be chaos for four hours and the turkey would very likely come out overcooked and two hours late. So I went out for a walk in the sun, and then retired to my rocking chair for the morning, sipping gourmet coffee after delectable gourmet coffee.

“renewal” and the opposition’s blocking of a public-sector wage freeze bill as his reasons for stepping aside.

“It has nothing to do with that, and everything to do with a decision that (wife) Terri and I have made,” McGuinty told reporters late Monday night.

“It’s time for us to return to our own lives, and it’s time for me to make an effort to renew the leadership of our party.”

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, who served as a cabinet minister under McGuinty, said the premier never forgot his Ottawa roots and as a result, the city has benefitted from many projects.

Coalition calls for end to publicly-funded abortions derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news – Almost 40 people circled MPP Jack MacLaren’s Kanata office on Saturday, Oct. 13, calling on the government to defund abortions.

Led by 16-year-old Julia Bredfeldt, the group Campaign Life Coalition is pressing for an end to taxpayerfunded abortions in all cases, including rape, which they say represents only one per cent of all abortions.

It wouldn’t matter to Bredfeldt if she got pregnant, had her future education and job prospects limited, and perhaps wound up on welfare: she still wouldn’t have an abortion.

“I would definitely not have an abortion,” she said. “It’s unfortunate. Just because a kid is unwanted, does that mean you have a right to kill it?”

She didn’t speak to tax dollars saved on welfare and justice and related government systems by funding plannedparenthood programs, but pointed to the coalition’s assertion that “taxpayers cur-

rently pay $30 million to $50 million every year towards the funding of abortions in our province through OHIP.” Her mother, Cynthia, said the province has delisted other medical services such as chiropractics, but keeps abortion even though it doesn’t fall under medically-necessary services protected by the Canada Health Act. She said 81 per cent of women who have an abortion suffer from mental health problems, ranging from depression to suicide.

“Pro-lifers have been trying to get this information out for decades,” said the Carleton Place resident, whose religion prevents the use of birth control.

Bredfeldt said she doesn’t believe most Canadians favour abortion. She maintains a strong majority favour rules limiting abortions, though she admits that could mean the majority are opposed to lateterm abortions.

“Even late-term abortions happen all the time,” she said, basing the assertion on anecdotal evidence. “I know one

That’s why, she said, defunding abortions and forcing women to pay between $500

and $1,000 to have an abortion will reduce the overall number of abortions. And yet she didn’t address how that would affect lower income and working class women more than middle and upper

She sees the issue as cultural as well. People emigrate from countries that endorse the abortion of female fetuses; and China’s one-child policy means immigrants from that country are pro-abortion, she said.

“There are long waiting lines for adoption,” she said.

Then, putting an arm around her adopted son Peter, added in a quavering voice: “My son wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for adoption.”

Wanda Hartlin is one of the coalition’s main organizers.

She was somewhat disappointed only 44 of 107 ridings held similar rallies, including one at Premier Dalton McGuinty’s Ottawa South office.

But she maintains that it isn’t the will of the majority that keeps publicly-funded abortions.

There is a silent majority whose religion has trained them to be meek and not speak out on social issues.

Therefore parties are misreading pro-life support, she said.

BMGCA holds Halloween decoration contest Briarbrook and Morgan’s Grant Community Association

EMC news - When out trick or treating this Halloween, the Briarbrook and Morgan’s Grant Community Association (BMGCA) is inviting residents to take photos and videos of the best decorated houses for its second annual contest.

“From elaborate graveyards to moving hearses, we’ve seen some amazing creativity from homeowners in our community in our first

Halloween contest last year,” said Lesa McHugh, BMGCA events co-ordinator. “We’re hoping people really get into the spirit this year and make a fun experience for the children in our community.”

Prizes for best decorated house include: • Prizes from real estate agent Olga Dewar.

• Gift certificates from Sippy Cup Café.

• Gift certificates from Dagwood’s Sandwiches and Salads.

• A harvest basket and gift

certificate from Riverglen Farm.

Nominations should be sent to halloween@bmgca.ca and should include the street address of the nominated home, the name of the person making the submission, photos or videos of the decorated home and the reasons for the nomination. Residents can nominate their own home.

The deadline for nominations is Monday, Nov. 1.

Prizes from our sponsors will be handed out on Nov. 2 to the three best decorated houses.

Frank Korycan was among those at Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren’s office on the weekend demanding an end to government-funded abortions. MacLaren was absent.

Family Coalition opposes abortion at provincial level Continued from page 10

R0011678650/1018

“As Christians we were raised not to be judgmental,” Hartlin said.

“We don’t judge her act (of aborting.) They are doing it because they don’t know they have a choice. They aren’t offered a choice. They are encouraged to abort.”

The Liberals, PCs, and NDP are pro-abortion parties, she said, adding that only the

Family Coalition is against abortion at the provincial level.

So she harbours no illusions that McLaren – who wasn’t at the rally - and other elected officials will hear the group’s demands let alone advocate for them at Queen’s Park.

But when it comes to abortion, she favours the views of a minority superseding those of the majority.

Asked if abortion is an is-

sue that reasonable and moral people can disagree upon, Hartlin offered an indirect response.

“You can disagree on anything, but there is a moral right to life,” she said.

“We can agree to disagree.

I can’t speak for the morality of other people. In the end, we all have to answer to God for our lives.”

MacLaren was unavailable for comment on Oct. 15.

Kanata to get its own home and leisure show EMC news - A contract has now been signed between The City of Ottawa and an Ottawa Valley business to allow Ontarioshows.com to open the first annual Kanata Home & Leisure Show, scheduled to be held at the Jack Charron Arena on April 26, 27 and 28, 2013.

Organizers confirm that the show will open with more than 100 exhibitor booths offering everything homeowners in the region could possibly be interested in.

Windows and doors, kitchens and floors will all be represented. Roofing, plumbing and heating, hot tubs, garden-

of more than 100,000 is long overdue for a major show like this, and organizers expect to welcome more than 10,000 visitors during the three days of operation.

“Organizing an event like this is a big job”, a spokesperson for the show said. “We began accepting exhibitor appli-

cations on Sept. 7, and we are already 30 per cent sold out.

It appears that every inch of available space will be filled when we open our doors in April.”

The full set up just before the show opens will take three full days, turning the Jack Charron Arena into a 15,000

square foot home-services retail environment.

A brand new website has been launched at

ontarioshows.com and will be continuously updated as new details continue to be announced.

Casino vote wins despite councillors’ concerns Provincial lottery and gaming commission looking to private developers to propose casino sites Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - One of city council’s most impassioned debates on Oct. 10 resulted in the city lending its support for a possible new casino in Ottawa.

The 19-5 city council vote means the city will “signal its interest” in a possible new

gambling facility somewhere in Ottawa to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, an agency of the provincial government. Any actual proposals from private developers willing to build a casino wouldn’t arrive for another year.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

councillors who voted “no,” said the casino fix is in.

He was leaning towards supporting the idea, but he said that the more research he did, the more he realized it was a bad move for the city and particularly his rural ward, where people are supportive of the employment and entertainment options at the Rideau Carleton Raceway. Representatives from the raceway have said they will submit a bid to expand the facility into a casino, but Mayor Jim Watson has signaled his preference for a more urban gaming facility.

Paul Godfrey, chairman of the gaming corporation, has said he wants to bring casinos “where the people are.”

“It’s impossible for me to support this and support the Rideau Carleton Raceway,” Moffatt said during the city council debate on Oct. 10.

He said he has no faith in the gaming corporation.

“They show no drive to take into consideration what we said (during the finance and economic development committee) on Oct. 2 about the Rideau Carleton Raceway,” Moffatt said. “Unless we only say, ‘Rideau Carleton

Raceway,’ they will come back with anything but.”

No one on council was willing to move a motion to limit the lottery corporation’s search to areas outside the city’s core or specifically the raceway site.

Bay Coun. Mark Taylor was similarly reticent about supporting the proposal, but while he said he will treat the lottery corporation “as an ad-

versary,” he voted in favour.

Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said there wasn’t any evidence or research in favour of a casino that could outweigh the cacophony of negative comments from his constituents.

“Once a big project gets going, it becomes awfully hard to apply the brakes,” Chernushenko said.

The councillors who voted against the casino motion said there are too many unknowns.

Continued from page 16

Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess said he had a “cynical feeling” about the issue and asked why Ottawa wouldn’t have started discussing this topic sooner, like many other Ontario municipalities. Still, he voted in favour of looking at a potential casino.

“This is really going forward somewhat blinded,” Somerset Ward Coun. Diane Holmes said before voting in favour of continuing the process.

That miffed GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans, who said she couldn’t understand the logic of her reticent council colleagues who were still willing to vote for the idea of a casino.

“Don’t kid yourself. This vote matters,” said Deans, who voted against the motion along with Moffatt, Chernushenko, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury and Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney.

“I don’t believe we should be handing over our city’s future on such a fundamental issue to the OLG,” Deans added.

VETO

Part of the problem is that

neither city staff nor councillors fully understand the level of input the city will have into where a new casino would be located.

The city definitely has veto power over OLG’s casino proposal; the city has the final say on rezoning any land that a proponent wants to build a casino on.

But what is more vague is the city’s level of influence over suggesting where it would prefer to see a casino.

The gaming corporation will run a call for proposals and choose the best casino plan and location. Orléans Coun. Bob Monette wanted to know whether council could have any input before that decision is made. For instance, he asked if the city could be presented with the top three options, allowing council to indicate to the gaming corporation which one was most likely to be approved.

Bidding processes don’t work that way, the mayor said.

He said it’s possible the gaming corporation would bring forward its second-favourite proposal in the event the city rejected the top bid, but city manager Kent Kirkpatrick said he will have to talk to the gaming corporation to clarify the process.

Police, hospital working together EMC news - Ottawa police, in partnership with the Ottawa Hospital, implemented a pilot program in July to deal with mental health calls in the downtown area.

The program consists of resident psychiatrists working along with police officers from the mobile crisis team.

Team officers and psychiatrists have worked together over 25 days during the last two months. The teams dealt with approximately 65 calls.

Of those, only five resulted in an apprehension where the subject had to be taken to hospital for assessment.

The mobile response team can also deal with Mental Health Act apprehension orders immediately, saving countless hours of wait times at hospitals and allowing officers to return to regular patrol duties sooner. As well, the team doctors can issue prescriptions or follow-up appointments and provide other resources to assist people.

“We are pleased with the results of the project so far,” said Staff Sgt. Dana Reynolds, who is in charge of the Ottawa police mobile crisis team. “Being able to respond to calls as they are actually

happening has a dramatic impact on the outcome of these incidents. We hope to increase opportunities to use the mobile team as the project progresses.”

One example of a call the team has handled involved a call about a barricaded person. The subject involved appeared to suffer from a mental illness.

The team arrived with a doctor who was familiar with the man and knew his medical history. Because of that knowledge, the doctor was able to talk the man out without incident.

A typical barricaded person call can take hours to resolve. This call was dealt in about one hour.

The mobile response pilot program will be in place for one year.

• When you need to press a graham wafer crust into a springform pan, sometimes it’s hard to find just the right tool. If you use your fingertips, they get greasy and covered with crumbs. A fork doesn’t get right to the edge of the pan, and it flattens only a small area at a time.

• Another handy item to keep on hand in your kitchen is a box of thin latex gloves, the kind that food preparers use in commercial establishments. Put on a pair of gloves whenever you’re handling a

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff messy mixture in the kitchen. Whether you’re pressing crumbs into a springform pan, shaping meatballs, working with dough or mixing meatloaf, they’ll let you get right in there with your hands, yet keep them clean.A word of caution:, don’t re-use gloves that you’ve used on raw meat, fish or poultry. Throw them out to avoid possible contamination of other foods.

• To tenderize beef stew, add one or two tomatoes to the pot. Tomatoes contain an acid that breaks down meat and tenderizes it naturally.

• If your glass or plastic cutting board slides across the kitchen counter when you’re using it, dampen a dish cloth, and lay it on the counter under the cutting board. This also works on the large plastic sheets when roll-

ing out pastry on them.

• If you have one of the large rectangular glass or plastic cutting board, measure its length and width.

Many are just the right size for rolling out dough into a rectangle for making pastries such as cinnamon rolls.

They’re also handy for making French bread when the dough needs to be shaped by rolling it back and forth on a flat surface.

• Which brings us to King Louis XV of France. According to one story, he was so afraid of being poisoned that he had several servants taste his food before he ate it. By the time the soup reached him, it was cold. He liked it so much that he had it served cold from then on. That – supposedly – is why the creamy French potato soup, vichysoisse, is always served chilled.

To treat her cancer, Whitman had a lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy, a procedure which checks only one or two of the lymph nodes to look for cancer.

Pathology results indicated that the cancer had not spread to her lymph nodes and after a further test, it was deter-

mined that chemotherapy was not necessary.

She then underwent 25 rounds of radiation.

Five months later, Whitman’s doctors declared her cancer-free.

To reduce the chances of her cancer recurring, Joanne must take the drug tamoxifen for the next five years.

In Canada, an estimated 22,700 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 5,300 women will die from the disease in 2012.

Here in Ontario, the Canadian Cancer Society is fighting breast cancer on many fronts, including offering information and support services for breast cancer patients and their families.

Shortly after being diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in December 2011, Joanne Whitman searched the internet for information and support. The 53-year-old Hamilton woman visited the Canadian Cancer Society’s website and found CancerConnection.ca, an online community where patients and caregivers can share their experiences and build supportive relationships.

Whitman set up a profile and joined a breast cancer discussion group where she quickly befriended another woman who was going through the same experi-

ence. They bonded over the fact that their diagnosis dates were a week apart and that they received their pathology results on the same day.

“When I think back to the beginning of my cancer journey, if it were not for meeting that CancerConnection.ca community member who was going through the same thing, I would not have gotten thorough it,” said Whitman.

CancerConnection.ca supports people living with all types of cancer and members can take part in discussion forums, contribute to blogs, exchange messages and share information and links.

While Whitman’s family, friends and colleagues were supportive, talking to others who were living with cancer was comforting.

“The people on CancerConnection.ca were the only people who could truly understand what I was going through.

The community members knew exactly how scary it was and helped me cope by letting me know what to ex-

Nowadays, homeowners renovating their homes often look to wood flooring to replace existing floors. Hardwood is coveted by buyers, and its clean, inviting look makes it a neutral design element that goes with many different types of decor.

Today’s hardwood flooring is not the hardwood of the past. There are many options from which to choose, including varied colors, types of wood, patterns, and inlays.

In addition, innovations in sealants enable hardwood to

be durable and hold up better against the daily grind.

About 25 years ago, a homeowner basically had to settle for wood flooring that was solid oak strips at 2.25 inches wide. The strips were nailed in place by a carpenter and finished on site. Now, more than half of hardwood is fabricated and prefinished at a factory and is much easier to install -- even by the homeowner himself.

The range of styles and colors is also very extensive.

strips or wider options. Native hardwoods are available, as are offshore woods from different countries. Finishes can also be customized with higher gloss or matte choices.

For homeowners interested in going green, hardwood flooring also presents many options. A growing trend is using reclaimed wood that is recycled and then refinished into new items. Lumber may be reclaimed from old buildings, railroads, barns, homes, and even river bottoms. The varied history of the wood adds to its aesthetic appeal.

It’s important for homeowners to know that the price point for hardwood will vary depending on species and finish. However, the way the boards are cut will also be a consideration for homeowners. Plainsawn or flatsawn boards have growth rings that run at anywhere from 0 to 45-degree angles to the wide surfaces of the board, with lots of loops and swirls. Quartersawn boards have rings that run from 45- to 90-angles and are not as lively in pattern.

Quartersawn boards will expand in thickness depending on moisture and temperature.

Plainsawn will shrink and swell widthwise. Quartersawn tend to take wear better and more evenly, contributing to their typically more expnesive price tag.

Homeowners can also choose among engineered wood products, which are essentially several layers of wood veneer adhered to a solid backing of plywood and sealed. This layered construction can make engineered flooring more stable and durable than traditional hardwood flooring. That means it can be used in rooms where hardwood was long frowned upon, like basements and bathrooms.

Wood flooring will continue to garner mass appeal and be the preference of many homeowners. With new innovations and availability, there are more options than ever for discerning homeowners.

REAL ESTATE Make the most of small bathrooms cabinet in which to hide all of your toiletries, this simply may not be practical -- taking up most of the bathroom real estate. Instead, look for elegant pedestal sinks that have a much smaller profile.

They’ll also help you control the clutter in the bathroom because there won’t be anywhere to hide it. * Use optical illusions to make the bathroom appear more roomy. For example, lay tile diagonally to create the impression of space. A large mirror will reflect the room back and make it appear much larger than it really is. * Select lighter hues in paint colors and accessories. Dark paints and fixtures could make the room feel cramped. Dark colors are generally used to make spaces feel more cozy. In a small bathroom, it may make the space feel claustrophobic.

Instead, think light and bright and the room will instantly feel more airy. * Minimize wall hangings and keep fixtures smaller. Filling the walls with knickknacks may contribute to clutter and make the space appear closed in.

Use decorative items sparingly.

* If possible, store towels in a closet outside of the bathroom. This way you won’t have to devote space inside the bathroom to a closet, leaving more room for other things. * While some people like the thought of a separate bath and shower, in smaller bathrooms this may not be possible. Instead, look for a combined shower and bath, or select a walk-in shower with a much smaller profile. * Windows are often welcome in bathrooms because of the ventilation they provide, but they could be a hindrance in smaller bathrooms because they take up prime wall space. Cover a window in a shower stall to free up space. Just be sure to install a venting

fan to reduce moisture in the bathroom. * Maximize wall space if you need storage. Find cabinets that will fit beneath windows or be able to fit in thin areas between sinks and toilets. Over the toilet is prime area for cabinetry. * Consider a frameless shower. This is a partitioned area of the bathroom that’s set aside for the shower and is typically only cordoned off by a thin wall or piece of glass. Or a shower with no walls at all is the ultimate in space-saving. The entire bathroom floor is decked out in tile, and a portion is sloped toward a shower drain. * Think about installing a skylight if you prefer natural light, but there is no room for a traditional window.

Renovating bathrooms is commonly at the top of home improvement to-do lists. Though some rooms around the house may remain timeless, bathrooms, like kitchens, show their age (and era) much more easily, which could be why homeowners are always on the lookout for new ideas.

Although many people may dream about creating a spa-type oasis in their homes, not everyone is lucky enough to have a large bathroom, much less a large budget for a full-scale renovation. Small bathrooms are common, particularly in older homes, but they needn’t force homeowners to compromise on style when renovating.

Small bathrooms may be a half-bath on a main home level or even a full bath, depending on the home. By thinking creatively, homeowners can maximize their spaces and redo bathrooms in ways that bring out their best assets. * When space is at a premium, it’s best to look for fixtures and items that fit with the scale of the bathroom.

City gets ash borer wake-up call Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Experts are banking on a predator wasp to beat a bug that’s devastating Ottawa’s ash trees.

More than 50 concerned residents gathered at a Federation of Citizens’ Associations of Ottawa-Carleton forum at the Overbrook Community Centre on Oct. 9 to hear about the devastating impact of the emerald ash borer on Ottawa’s tree cover – and what could be done to slow it down.

Currently, there is no way to stop the beetle, which burrows under the bark of ash trees, eventually killing them.

Pesticide injections at a cost

of a couple hundred dollars a tree every two years can prolong a tree’s life, but so far, there is no way to completely beat the bug.

But there is hope, and the experts asked for residents’ help to “hold the line� until it can get here.

That hope will come in the form of a wasp – the emerald ash borer’s natural predator in Asia. While the city has spoken very cautiously about the possibility of introducing a stingless wasp, experts at the Oct. 9 forum said the wasp is the only hope for North America’s ash trees. “It’s the way forward,� said Bruce Gill, a federal research scientist with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. “It’s

not a common pest in China because they have a predator ‌ We need to restore the natural balance.�

The wasp is being tested in several states south of the border, but it could be more than 10 years before it might be brought to Canada. A federal agency could make an application to try that method here or a specific city could apply and go through the paperwork.

The process is so complicated, Gill said he’s crossing his fingers that some of the wasps will eventually fly north and arrive in Canada as a “naturally occurring species.�

Until then, treating trees will be critical, said Joe Meating, whose company, BioForest, produces the main (and until recently, only) pesticide used to combat the emerald ash borer in Ottawa. “We’re buying time for predators to be introduced,�

Meating said. Early treatment is key, or there may be nothing for the wasps to save, if and when they are brought to Canada.

Even if the wasp never comes here, it’s not worth waiting to treat or cut down infected trees, said Sean Barker, director of the Eastern Ontario Arborists. “It’s definitely going to cost more later,� Barker said.

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

The Federation of Citizens’ Associations held a forum on the emerald ash borer at the Overbrook Community Centre on Oct. 9.

George Lamirande of Davey Tree, said the longer the borers are left to decimate a tree, the more hazardous and therefore costly it becomes to remove.

Furthermore, leaving an infected tree until it absolutely must come down provides a food source for the beetles to continue to multiply in that area. “It’s critical for it to get out of the way,� Lamirande said.

WAKE UP CALL

The experts said this year marked a big wake-up call about the emerald ash borer, which was first identified in Ottawa in 2008. “I learned it takes a shock to the system to get people to notice,� Barker said.

Before 2012, there were “a lot of whispers in the background,� but this year his company has had three times

as many booking for free treatments or removals.

Many of the residents in attendance wanted to know what they could do as neighbours and community associations to help fight the problem.

Barker and Davey said they are seeing – and encouraging – a trend of community groups organizing a group treatment, where a company is hired to come and inject or remove infected trees in a concentrated area, such as along a street.

The neighbours are often able to negotiate group discounts that way because the process is more efficient, Barker said.

Besides that, neighbours can just help spread the word, all the experts said. It is estimated more than 20 per cent of the tree cover in Ottawa is ash, and many of those trees are on private property.

combat the bug is essential, Lamirande said.

FUNDING

The city has been putting about $2 million per year into treating and removing city trees infected with emerald ash borer, and earlier this summer city council approved an extra $1 million for this year.

Environment committee co-chairman Keith Egli attended the event and delivered news that the committee will be looking for $4 million in funding to combat the emerald ash borer in 2013.

While James O’Grady of the Federation of Citizens’ Associations said he was happy to hear that the funding could be going up, he added it won’t be enough. The city will still have to remove the dead trees and replant new ones, and those costs will only rise.

Old silo had striking Italian look

I

t all started when Emerson brought the book home from the Renfrew library.

While the rest of us picked story books, mine with pictures, Emerson always wanted a book about buildings. Now, there wasn’t a large choice of books on buildings at the Renfrew library, and that day Emerson found one, all about some huge structure in Italy, it changed his life drastically.

Emerson loved buildings.

Mother managed somehow to buy him big pads of plain white paper and he spent hours drawing buildings. We would watch him at the old pine table at night drawing towers of glass. Poor Emerson, we’d say. Who ever heard of glass buildings? Who ever heard of towers made completely of windows and some with elevators going up the outside?

We’d think how odd Emerson was, not like the rest of us who were content to look through the Eaton’s catalogue or play cars. No, Emerson drew buildings.

The book was all about some strange building in Italy, called the Tower of Pisa.

Emerson was spellbound, not because it was so tall and was built in some strange country, but because it had a lean to it.

He sat at the table every night gazing at the Tower of Pisa and even drew it on his white sheets of paper. Little did we know at the time what he had in mind.

“We have one just like it.

Right here on this here farm,” he announced after about three nights of gazing at the pictures in the book. No one paid him

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories any heed.

It was the next day -- a Saturday. Emerson, after his chores had been done, came in to the house and gathered up his sheets of paper and the book on the Tower of Pisa and headed outside.

“I have something to show you,” he announced to anyone within earshot. Earl and I were the only ones interested and we followed Emerson with his sheets of paper through the summer kitchen. He headed right for the silo. There was an old stump beside the silo -- I wouldn’t go near it with a 10foot pole because that’s where the chickens got the axe.

Emerson knew I hated that part of the barn yard, so he went down the hill a few paces and beckoned Earl and me to follow. The silo was in front of us. Emerson held up his pencil and squinted as he leveled it in his eyesight.

“See how the silo tilts? Just like that one in Italy. I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if whoever built it used the same plans as the tower in Italy. And maybe even had a hand in helping building this one here.”

While that made perfect sense to me, Earl was much less impressed.

“The one in Italy is made of stone,” Earl said. “This here silo is made of old pieces of

lumber and Emerson, you know as well as I do that the reason it’s tilted is because it’s over 100 years old and was built on a bit of a hill.”

Besides, he added, “our great grandfather built the silo when he came from Germany.

This here silo has nothing to do with a building in Italy.”

Now, as well as liking to draw buildings, Emerson also liked to hold funerals for anything that passed away on the farm. Dead birds found out on the grass, even a frog that was found in a rain barrel at the back of the house, were all subjected to Emerson’s idea of a fitting funeral.

Again, Audrey and Everett refused to have any part of Emerson’s idea of a proper burial, but Earl and I being the youngest of the children, were riveted to any crazy scheme our brother had that would add a bit of excitement to our lives on that farm in Northcote.

I had no idea if Emerson made it up or if it was actually in the book from the library, but he said funerals were held in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and from now on, any funeral he would be conducting would be in front of our old wood silo. Just like they had in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Well, as luck would have it,

a few days later, Mother had ordered Everett to get some chickens to take into her customers in Renfrew. That meant a trip to the stump behind the silo. Emerson decided these poor chickens needed a proper funeral and we would all meet behind the silo as Everett wielded the axe.

I was having no part of it.

Earl, who was as squeamish as I was when it came to beheading the chickens, said he had chores to do and the last I saw of Earl he was heading for the barn. I was already getting on an apron in the kitchen and looking for something to do.

Emerson showed his disgust by stomping outside with his papers in hand, heading for the silo, looking for something to bury. There wasn’t a dead bird or any other dead critter in sight and he had to give up on the idea of holding a funeral in front of the silo that day, because Everett said if he came within a country mile of the stump, Emerson could help with the slaughter.

Well, Emerson was as squeamish as Earl and me and the only thing he was interested in burying or holding a funeral for was something that was already dead.

We were all saved from another discussion about future funerals held behind the silo, because like everyone else who borrowed a book from the Renfrew library, Emerson had to take the book about the Leaning Tower of Pisa back in a week or pay a cent for every day it was overdue. It was the last we heard of the likeness between our old tilted silo and some stone tower in Italy.

The band was so impressive that they were asked to play an additional song. I would like to thank Neil Bateman and the band for their excellent performance.

I also attended the Mayor’s Youth Summit at City Hall.

This event brought together approximately 200 youth from diverse backgrounds from across the city to discuss issues that are important to them and ideas for addressing those issues. Special guest speakers included The Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, the inspirational Helen Campbell and Dave Hale of the Soshal Group.

PArks And reCreAtion The construction of the Kristina Kiss Park and soccer field is beginning this fall. The park will include a gazebo, 2 dry play areas, a splash play area, parking, a permanent boarded rink, a full size soccer field, secondary parking and a play structure at the north end. A pathway will run the full length of the site, parallel to Monahan drain.

More information can be found on my website in the Parks and Recreation section under the Community Tab. The Kanata Recreation Complex will also see improvements with the replacement of the rink board systems in Rink B. This project is just one element of the overall improvements to the facility this year.

Lansdowne a done deal Councillors vote 20-3 in favour of sports group’s renovation plans Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The ink is now dry on the deal to renovate Lansdowne Park.

City council voted 20-3 to give its final approval to the multi-million-dollar deal with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, paving the way for one of the largest construction projects in the city’s history which began on Oct. 15.

The deal, four years in the making, will see the city’s Frank Clair Stadium receive major overhauls to enable the return of a Canadian Football League team. Construction of an underground parking garage will make room for a mixed-use development including an office tower, condos, shops and a cinema.

The portion of the site between the Aberdeen Pavillion and the Queen Elizabeth Driveway will be transformed into an urban park with a water feature, orchard, and public event space.

The vote wasn’t unanimous. The councillor for the ward in which the park sits, Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, voted against the final report, as did Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans and Somerset Coun.

Diane Holmes.

Holmes said she is concerned that the city is handing over the reins of a piece of public land to private developers.

Deans said the partnership is the most difficult, complicated deal the city has ever entered into and she is not certain it’s a good thing for taxpayers.

“Ultimately I think our taxpayers are going to be paying the price for many, many years to come,” Deans said.

Chernushenko said that despite his opposition to the project, he acknowledges it will be moving forward and has been focused on making it the best it can be.

“We need to make sure it works for them (Glebe residents) and that it was not on

On Oct. 10, city council voted 20-3 to give final approval for a half-billion-dollar deal to revitalize Lansdowne Park in the Glebe. The site is seen above on April 30, before construction began. their backs this was built,” he said.

Chernushenko called on his council collegues to support important transportation and transit plans that will be essential to making the development work, including a planned $17.5-million footbridge over the Rideau Canal, connecting the Glebe and Old Ottawa East.

“There will be a cost to it, but it’s essential,” he said.

Mayor Jim Watson said it was a proud moment for him because it shows council can

get things done at city hall. “(The) public said stop dithering and start digging,” Watson said. “Waiting for perfection is going to kill any project … It hasn’t been easy, but in the end, it will be magnificent.”

City manager Kent Kirkpatrick said the rigorous design review panel process “established a new level of urban design” for the city. “(It is) expanding our understanding of what’s possible in Ottawa,” Kirkpatrick said.

Orléans Coun.

Bob

Monette, a longtime supporter of the project, said the redevelopment and the addition of football will make Lansdowne a tourist destination.

Watson reiterated his argument that the public-private redevelopment will replace 0.73 hectares of asphalt with public spaces and a park.

He said the project will also “close the gap” between the communities of Old Ottawa South and the Glebe.

Football is scheduled to begin in 2014, and the timelines will be tight.

The project has faced 18 months of delays due to the design review panel asking for tweaks to the project and two legal challenges brought forward by the Friends of Lansdowne and the Lansdowne Park Conservancy.

Kirkpatrick said the construction schedule will be a “complicated dance” that will mainly hinge on the timeline for building the parking garage, but the timing allows for typical delays that might result from weather or other minor issues.

EMC news - Mayor Jim Watson was all smiles on Oct. 11 as he officially handed off Lansdowne Park construction duties to the Ottawa Sport and Entertainment Group.

As part of the event, he and OSEG partner Roger Greenberg signed a ceremonial wall plaque finalizing the partnership between the city and business group.

While some preliminary work has already been done on the project to redevelop the city-owned property, contractor Pomerleau Inc. was scheduled to begin work in earnest on Oct. 15.

As Watson and Greenberg, joined by city councillors and other OSEG partners, gathered to sign the plaque, they had two items dug out of the archives to set the tone for the historic moment.

Both Russ Jackson’s helmet and a 1976 Grey Cup football were present, reflecting some of the history the partnership said it is looking to re-establish.

“This is an important day in the history of our city,” Watson said. “It’s exciting to see what has started over the

summer.”

With the south side bleachers torn down, it’s left the north-versus-south-side bleacher arguments on pause until the new stadium is complete.

“Memories like that have sustained us a group,” Greenberg said, reflecting on the 1976 Grey Cup game. “It’s returning those memories.”

Frank Clair Stadium, once completed, will play host to Canadian Football League and professional soccer teams, as well as the Ottawa 67s.

The plans for the park include underground parking, shops, homes, restaurants and recreational facilities.

Watson said that national and international experts in design and engineering have been consulted in the planning stages of the development project.

“The park has a special place in our heart,” Greenberg said.

“We’re really at the end of the beginning.”

Mid-2014 is the target for completion of work on the stadium, with the remainder of the redevelopment work to be complete by the summer of 2015.

Ottawa lights the night for blood cancer Gabrielle Tieman

EMC news - Four thousand balloon clad, banner-wielding and cheering participants raised almost $350,000 for blood cancer research during Ottawa’s Light the Night walk Saturday evening, Oct. 13.

“Canada has more than 100,000 people living with or in remission from blood cancer,” said Andrea Swinton, the executive director of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. “Since our first Ottawa walk in 2010, we have raised over $1 million for research.”

The third-annual event featured a leisurely walk along the canal where participants

carried illuminated balloons to light the path – white for survivors, red for supporters, and gold in memory of those lost.

When Lesia Maruschak was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 2010, she said information about the disease fed her fears. Now one of this year’s honoured heroes for Light the Night, Maruschak and her team of 55 raised more than $28,000.

“Cancer changed who I am,” said Maruschak. “Getting involved in Light the Night has changed how I feel about my diagnosis and how I live day to day. This event shows why research and patient support is so important.”

GABRIELLE TIEMAN/METROLAND

Thousands turned out in support of blood cancer research during Ottawa’s Light the Night Walk on Oct. 13. Cousins Keith Wilde and Megan Macrea were walking for Robin Wilde, a “loved father and uncle.” About four thousand people walked five kilometres beginning at city hall and heading to Pretoria Bridge and back again. The event raised about $350,000.

For cousins Keith Wilde and Megan Macrae, the walk was not only about supporting Wilde’s dad, but supporting everyone who was there for a loved one.

“Everyone here is sad for a similar reason,” said Macrae. “It’s nice to bring all of these people together for a joint cause. It gains awareness while acting as a support group.”

Funds raised by walkers will help provide lifesaving blood cancer research, free educational materials for patients and families and comprehensive personal assistance across Canada. There will be 10 fundraiser walks from Victoria to Halifax.

Bridlewood man one tough mudder Neall Hards wins spot in World’s Toughest Mudder competition Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - Neall Hards received the shock of his life last summer.

At the time, the 36-yearold Bridlewood man was crawling across an obstacle course, elbows-deep in water, with 10,000-volt live wires dangling over his head, occasionally zapping him on the forehead.

“It felt like someone had taken a bat and smacked you down,” said Hards.

The Electric Eel was just one of the 19 obstacle courses in the Tough Mudder race held at Mount St.-Louis, near Barrie, Ont. on Aug. 18.

Hards finished with a decent time – travelling up and down the hill across a torturous series of obstacles five times in just two hours and 20 minutes – good enough to qualify for the World’s Toughest Mudder race, to be held in Englishtown, N.J. on Nov. 17 and 18.

Nearly half a million men and women participate in Tough Mudder qualifiers held worldwide this year, with the top five per cent finishers eligible to move on to the big event.

The World’s Toughest Mudder is a 24-hour race that exhausts participants and pushes them to their limits in a contest designed to discover the toughest male and female on the planet.

“The Tough Mudder is more of a challenge than running a marathon,” said Hards.

Participants are given 24 hours to complete as many laps as possible on a course

filled with punishing – and often pain-inducing – obstacles.

The length of the course and the types of obstacles are only disclosed on the day of the race, said Hards.

The World’s Toughest Mudder was founded by Will Dean, a former counter-terrorism agent for the British government.

Proceeds from the event go to support the Wounded Warriors Project, a fund that assists injured service men and women.

The event features a variety of obstacles including: • Arctic Enema: participants must jump into bins filled with ice and swim under submerged wooden planks and find the strength to pull themselves out on the other side.

• Ball Shrinker: mudders must cross a body of water with only a rope overhead to hold and another to walk on.

• Berlin Walls: mudders must work as a team, scaling a series of 3.7-metre high walls.

• Funky Monkey: mudders must cross a set of monkey bars greased with mud and butter – those who slip fall into an icy pond below.

• Log Bog Jog: Participants must jump over and crawl under large logs scattered across the obstacle course.

• Turd’s Nest: mudders climb across a cargo net suspended over water, barbed wire or other participants running below.

• Fire Walker: Mudders travel across a trench filled with kerosene-soaked straw set ablaze, with flames 1.2 metres high.

SUBMITTED

Neall Hards has been selected to compete in the World’s Toughest Mudder, an extreme race designed to find the toughest male and female on the planet.

RUNNING

Hards has been running ever since he was old enough to walk, participating in cross country running and track and field events starting in Grade 3, in his home town of North Bay, Ont. He also played football for his high school, where he was both a running back and a linebacker.

After he married, Hards took a hiatus from running as family life became more hectic raising his children Kaeline, 15, Eithan, 12, and

Masen, 2.

The Bridlewood man, who works for IBM, is now in his fifth year coaching the Kanata Knights mosquito football team.

In the spring of 2011, he decided to lace his shoes up and take up the sport of running again.

“I woke up, dusted off my gear, bought a treadmill and started to run between meetings (at work),” said Hards, who tracked his progress using the Runtastic app for his BlackBerry phone.

Hards’ training philosophy

is simple.

“Be a fan of yourself and make yourself your idol,” he said. “Don’t try to be someone else, be who you are – be the best you.”

During the past year, Hards has turned into one tough mudder.

He now eats marathons for breakfast – half marathons and sprints barely qualify as a snack.

“I run on a regular basis,” said Hards. “I run half marathons, marathons – to me that’s pretty monotonous.”

For a real challenge, Hards,

who logs 80 to 100 kilometres every week, had to look a little off the beaten path of athletic competitions.

So far this year, he’s competed in the 17-kilometre Tough Mudder competition and the Spartan Beast, a 26kilometre “obstacle race from hell” held at Mont-Tremblant, Que., on June 30.

“The Spartan is a little more bush whacking than the Tough Mudder,” said Hards.

“The next race I want to run is the Spartan Death Race.”

Tough Mudder competition demands extreme preparation: Hards Continued from page 29

Last summer, when he entered the Tough Mudder, Hards had to sign a “death waiver,” which limits a participant’s ability to sue the competition as a result of death or injury.

Extreme races demand extreme preparation, said Hards, who has been training for the Tough Mudder and Spartan races at the Kanata South Recreation Complex, where he regularly completes a self-designed 16-kilometre course, which includes push ups, burpies and climbing a set of monkey bars as well as the bleachers on Robert

Barr Field.

Competing in the World’s Toughest Mudder is pricey, said Hards, who expects to spend $3,000 to $4,000 on travel and training gear including three wetsuits, headlamps – useful during night runs – neoprene socks, gloves, a sleeping bag and running shoes.

Hards is looking for sponsors to defray his costs, including individuals, groups and corporations, and will recognize their support by displaying names and logos on his wetsuits.

have pooled their money to sponsor Hards.

“They call themselves the Hard Mudder admirers,” said Hards. “They bought a space on my thigh.”

Anyone interested in sponsoring Hards can email him at neallhards@gmail.com or visit his website sponsorneall. webnode.com.

Fans can track Hards’ progress during the race on Facebook or Twitter which will receive GPS information from his cellphone using the Runtastic app.

“People can send me live cheers during the race,” said Hards. “It will shout it out during the race.”

Fans can also record a message and send it to Hards’ BlackBerry.

“Literally, I get it within seconds,” he said.

The prize for the top male and female competitors in the World’s Toughest Mudder is $15,000, with $20,000 going to the top team.

“I want to win,” said Hards.

“There’s only three ways I come off the course,” he said.

“Complete it, being taken off for a medical (reasons) or I keel over on the course. I’m not quitting.”

West Ottawa Soccer hires first ever CEO Club looks to acquire new fields, continue long-term player development Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC sports - The West Ottawa Soccer Club has hired its first-ever chief executive officer to manage the rapidly growing organization.

for games played by children between the ages of four and 12.

“It’s being met with some resistance from certain groups,” said Mason. “It depressurizes the game completely.”

Osieck will also be responsible for working with the city and local businesses to develop soccer fields as soon as possible, said Mason, “We’d love to partner with the larger companies in the west end,” said Mason, adding that no potential partners have been identified as of yet.

“We’re open to partnering with whoever we can.”

OSIECK

BJORN OSIECK “The operation’s so large now we need a professional to look after the day-to-day operations of the club as well as take the club to the next level,” said Brian Mason, president of the soccer association. “The club’s growing and it’s just an awful lot of work.”

Bjorn Osieck will assume the post of CEO after spending the past six years at the helm of the British Columbia Soccer Association, the third-largest soccer governing body in the country, with roughly 150,000 registered players, coaches, officials and volunteers. Prior to that, Osieck was executive director of operations for the Saskatchewan Soccer Association from 2003-06.

“I am thrilled to join forces with Brian Mason and the entire WOSC board and staff team to serve the club’s growing membership base,” said Osieck in a

FILE PHOTO

The West Ottawa Soccer league, seen here during an under-11 girls soccer game in August, hired Bjorn Osieck as CEO of the organization. press release. “Much has been said in recent years about what we collectively have to do to ensure Canadian soccer’s future success at all levels and I firmly believe that clubs like the WOSC are the grassroots engine to drive the needed changes in the years ahead.”

Osieck holds a business administration and a master’s degree in sports administration from York University in Toronto.

His father, Holger Osieck, was the head coach of Canada’s soccer team when it won the 2000 Gold Cup and is now the head coach of Australia’s

men’s team.

The creation of the CEO position comes two years after the Kanata and Goulbourn soccer associations voted to merge, creating the second largest soccer club in the country.

The new CEO will handle day-to-day management of the club as well as work to create strategic alliances with the municipal and provincial governments and forge ties with other soccer bodies such as the Ontario and Canadian soccer associations.

Osieck will also be asked to continue efforts by the club to foster long-term player de-

velopment, by providing programs that move away from scores and standings and instead concentrate on basic skill development, especially for players between the ages of four to 12.

“It’s not all about winning; it’s about developing the athlete,” said Mason, adding that no scores will be kept

Heading up West Ottawa Soccer was an opportunity too exciting to pass up, said Osieck.

The game of soccer is undergoing a grassroots revolution in communities, he said, with clubs starting to join forces to deliver better programs and facilities.

“You see less and less of the small organizations and you see more and more of the larger organizations,” he said.

“It’s just a profes-

sionalization of the game.”

Osieck said his immediate priority is to establish stronger relationships with other soccer clubs such as the Nepean Hotspurs and Ottawa South United as well as governing bodies such as the Ontario Soccer Association.

The city’s soccer associations must work together and present a unified voice to make it easier to work with municipal decision makers, Osieck said.

“We need to look also inside the club,” said Osieck. “Make sure we have the best and appropriate array of programming.”

Long term player development is another priority, he said.

Players might have temporary success built on size or strength, but might not necessarily develop the needed skills for later years, such as playing on junior and national teams, said Osieck.

“They can’t compete anymore because everyone is strong and fast,” he said. “But (meanwhile other players) have developed soccer skills.”

Skills such as balance, coordination, running, throwing and kicking.

The soccer association needs to provide programs that develop those skills without fear of failure, he added.

That won’t happen if teams focus on scoring and winning, said Osieck.

“Soccer is the world’s game,” he said. “But (it) is alive and well at the community level.

It’s the beautiful game.”

ServiNg KaNata North

City Councillor, Kanata North

A detailed urban design plan is underway for these lands and, once developed, will be available for comment by the public.

Comments made now can be used by City staff in creating the design plan.

Also on the agenda is information about your property assessment and its impact on property taxes; the changes in waste pickup starting Oct 29th; the status of zoning applications on 2 The Parkway and 1131 Teron Road; traffic concerns on streets like Halton & Knudson; the Carp Landfill situation; Lansdowne Park; casinos; the Arcadia subdivision and the 2013 City Budget. You are welcome to provide suggestions and raise concerns.

YOUR NEW ASSESSMENT Home owners will have recently received their new property assessment from MPAC. An increase in property assessment does not mean an increase in taxes. The average increase across Ottawa is 26%. The City does not get any increase in taxes as a result of the new assessment so anyone with a 26% increase will have the same taxes as now. In Kanata North the average increase is 22.5%, which is 3.5% less than the City wide average for residential properties. If your residential assessment increased by less than 26% you will have a reduction in property taxes. If it is more than a 26% increase your assessment will increase by 25% of the increase over 26% for each of the next 4 years as increases are phased in. Check your new assessment to see what the impact is for your home. Industrial and Commercial assessments vary so those should be checked by going to the MPAC website.

For inquiries, or to challenge your assessment, go to www.mpac. ca or call 1-866-296-6722.

Knights finish regular season, prepare for football playoffs Kanata Knights Football Club

EMC Sports - The Kanata Knights Football Club went 3-1 last weekend in games against the South Ottawa Mustangs at Robert Barr Field in Kanata.

Three of the club’s teams – tyke, mosquito and peewee – have finished their regular season and will now prepare for the playoffs.

The midget Knights still have one game left to play, against the Nouvelles Frontieres Arsenal at the University of Quebec Field on Oct. 20.

Last weekend, the midget Knights defeated the South Ottawa Stampeders – a member of the Mustangs club – by a score of 18-7 on Friday, Oct. 12.

Devaughn Blackwood scored the Knights other touchdown.

Some players of note during last Sunday’s game were: David Dent, Justin Flindall, Owen Manson, Ethan McFadden, Samantha Murphy, Akash Prasad, Trevor Schwab, Brennan Walsh and Alex Newell.

The Knights are now waiting to hear who they will play in the playoffs. But whoever that might be, the team will keep pushing forward, said the team’s coaching staff.

MOSQUITOS

The wet and muddy conditions at the Bob Barr Field made for an interesting game between the Knights and Mustangs. The game was tied 18-18 by the end of the third quarter The Mustangs’ defence got saturated in the first half by the pounding ground game of the Ogilvie brothers. Adam dipped and dunked his way for 52 total yards while Connor scored a touchdown and rushed for 76 yards on 15 carries.

The Knights first touchdown was scored by David Wardowski, while Britton

Quirk contributed on offence with three key running plays, one catch for 20 yards and he was three for four on point after attempts.

Kanata’s defence showered South Ottawa with hit after hit led by nine tackles from a soaking wet Tyrese Brown and eight tackles by a mean muddy looking Justin Malloy.

Not to be outdone, Fiore Clark dampened the Mustangs running game up the middle with five tackles and Jake Matheson made five crucial tidal wave tackles containing the sweep plays.

The fourth quarter was a mud slide – literally.

Quarterback Jared Valentine was loving the mucky elements and was very effective gaining a whopping 100 yards on 14 quarterback rushes and scored the last two touchdowns of the game much to the delight of the dedicated wet cold parents on the sidelines and the 20 remaining parents who blew their car horns simultaneously from the parking lot. A well deserved 34-18 win helps in preparation for next week’s playoff game.

The Knights (3-5) are ranked fifth in their division.

WARD COUNCIL FEATURES TOWN CENTRE ZONING Monday Oct. 22nd, 7-9 pm, Mlacak Centre There are a number of development items on the Ward Council Agenda this month. Included is a presentation and discussion of the zoning application by Urbandale in their lands in the Kanata Town Centre. The project, as proposed, has not been accepted

by City staff. This will be an opportunity to learn about the policies in the official plan (which were approved by the City of Kanata in the 1990’s) and how they should be interpreted in the zoning (which will provide the implementation tools to put the official plan policies into effect). You can find the details about the Official Plan policies on the City website at http://ottawa.ca/ en/city_hall/planningprojectsreports/ottawa2020/official_plan/ vol_2b/former_kanata/index.html

The Knights lost 28-6 in their final regular season game against the south Ottawa Mustangs leaving them four and four for the regular season.

The Knights offensive line was led by Ashton Vanasse, who brought in the lone touchdown for the team.

Teammates Jacob Cuffley, Brady Tran, Tyler Rehman, Patrick Heika, Garrett Kirk, Luke Morrison, Liam Quinton and Nick Beer showed their grit and determination throughout the game driving again and again against the Mustang’s defence.

Antonio Albery, Liam MacInnis, Patrick Massia, Brett Campbell, Connor Spero, Braiden D’Aoust, Trey Russell-Johnson and Dylan Marshall proved their heart and commitment play after play, reminding the fans what the Knights are all about.

The Knights’ defence was led throughout the game by Stewart Melville, Michael Kraeker, Alex Polataiko, Jordan Porter, Dylan Lachance, Evan Wilson and Dylan Walker.

Blocking, tackling and running down the opposition at every opportunity Charles Hyunh, Duncan McDonald, Dante Bourbonnais, Ryan Miskelly, Tristen Hubley, Thomas Patridge and Alex Whibley did the team and themselves proud with their commitment and enthusiasm.

MIDGET

On a bitterly cold evening in Kanata, the Knights rounded up the Stampeders – breaking their spirit with a decisive 187 playoff-clinching victory.

They say that numbers don’t lie and with 174 yards rushing and 153 yards passing, the Knights offense now has a well-balanced attack.

The Stampeders offence struggled and with the exception of their lone touchdown, they could not maintain momentum.

On the few occasions that they did manage to move the ball they e were rocked by Kanata defenders or coughed up the football.

Although Kanata’s defence was there when needed, the number of incomplete passes thrown made credit for defensive plays hard to accumulate.

On defence, linebacker Brad Herbst (two solo tackles, five assists) and defensive linesman Matt Gagnon (five solos, one sack) led the way, while defensive linesman Jasmin Dervisevic (four assists), defensive back Shawn O’Neill (three solos, one batted ball) were not far behind.

Defensive back Jordan Gorgichuk, quarterback Nick Krzaniak and linebacker Sebastian Mordak each contributed two solos and two assists.

Mordak also returned an interception 38 yards.

Defensive back Sebastian Rios added one solo tackle and an interception to the cause. The monster hit of the night resulted in a quarterback sack after a great individual effort by defensive linesman Conner Brydges.

The Knights points came from running back Cassy Aite, with a one-yard touchdown, and tight end Jason Lachance, with a five yard reception from Duffy. Aite also added six more points with two points after touchdowns, a single (wide field goal) and a field goal.

The running backs bounced back from last week with a solid, evenly distributed attack.

Jacob Legault (11 for 52), Aite (six for 53) and Chris Bumstead (nine for 54).

The receivers kept pace with a great night for wide receiver Josh Bourbonniere (five for 75), while the other receivers had single catches: wide receiver Jaeger Prot (20 yards), tight end Jason Lachance (five-yard touchdown), quarterback Nick Krzaniak (24 yards) and running back Jacob Legault (29 yards).

Quarterback Matt Duffy was nine of 18 for 153 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions and 15 yards rushing.

Prot returned two punts for nine yards and defensive back Jordan Gorgichuk returned one for two yards.

Evan Yorth booted four kickoffs for 156 yards.

The Knights (5-2) finish the season this weekend with a game against the Arsenal on Oct. 20.

Female hockey players prepare to reach next level Brier Dodge

FRIDAY OCTOBER 19 SATURDAY OCTOBER 20 SUNDAY OCTOBER 21

EMC sports - For top female hockey players, it’s as much about the academics as it is the athletics.

University and college level play is the main goal for most junior competitive players.

“For the girls, the highest level they can basically play other than Team Canada is college,” said Nepean Junior Wildcats head coach Dave MacDonald. “It’s what I would call their NHL.” MacDonald has put a heavy emphasis on performance off the ice, in the classroom, for his players.

His players are in the right league to get recruited to a university program, playing in the 20-team Provincial Women’s Hockey League.

“It’s great to be a good hockey player but first of all you have to be a good student,” MacDonald said.

“The academics are the most important thing for these kids.”

American schools need to see strong standardized testing results and high school grades before offering players scholarships.

While players on the team range in age, the majority on

this year’s team are Grade 12 students.

Though it’s a Nepean team, training at the Nepean Sportsplex and doing dryland training at Scotiabank Place in Kanata, players come from all over the region to play for the Wildcats, one of two Ottawa teams in the PWHL. The Ottawa Senators Women’s Hockey Club also has a team in the league who the Wildcats face.

MacDonald said there are a growing number of opportunities for women to play university level hockey in Canada.

Nipissing University and Laurentian University have just started new women’s teams this year.

MacDonald played hockey for Laurentian University; hockey carried his own daughter through a successful career with the Carleton University Ravens team.

As a new coach for the Wildcats, he wants to bring his experience with the university system to the players to make sure they have the option to play hockey in future years.

“I know what it takes to get there,” he said. “I know what a student athlete has to do to be successful, and that experience is very valuable.”

Two players from this year’s

team are also playing for the provincial team, with Lauren Miller from Brockville on Team Red, and Kanata’s Taylor Thurston on Team Blue.

Three more players made it to the selection camp.

It will hopefully help the team when the provincial championship comes to their own backyard. This year’s championship tournament is being held in Ottawa in conjunction with the women’s world championship.

It will be a nice break from the frequent travel the team makes to play Toronto-area teams, hitting the road almost every other Thursday night to travel for games or tournaments.

MacDonald hopes the team will make at least the semifinal round and finish in the top four teams in the league. Despite a 16th-place finish last year, about three-quarters of this year’s team is new to the Wildcats.

“This will be a big year for us,” he said.

He thinks they have it in them, with a group that he said is very close and committed to one another.

“They get along extremely well,” he said. “Basically, they’re a great group of girls to coach and very talented.”

EMC news - As we head into winter many of us look for ways to brighten those dark winter evenings.

For those who enjoy dancing, English country dancing offers a way to spend a lively, fun evening chasing away the winter blahs.

First formed in the court of Elizabeth I, many of the dances still enjoyed today were compiled in the 1600s.

Modern choreographers are offering new dances based on the style and elegance of the old favourites.

The dancing is mostly a walking step with some of the livelier dances including a skipping step and each dance is taught and “walked through” to ensure that everyone remembers the sequences.

It is danced in pairs with dancers moving down the set.

This gives them an opportunity to dance with everyone else in the set, making it a truly social dance.

In English country dance it is customary to change partners for each dance, which means it is not necessary to bring your own partner.

English country dancing has become increasingly popular in Canada and the U.S. in recent years with many clubs hosting period costume balls.

Art doesn’t need to be beautiful: photographer Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Maya Wilson had planned to go into the science and technology field when she graduated from high school before she realized she wanted to work with artists.

The 17-year-old said she found her true calling after taking part in A Gallery of Portraits at the Arts Court in downtown Ottawa. The exhibit was hosted by the Council for the Arts, which offered Maya, and three other teenagers, the chance to exhibit their work.

“We took part in every single aspect of putting together an exhibit,” said the Grade 12 student from Holy Trinity Catholic High School. “Until this exhibit I thought I was going into science…it opened my eyes.”

The young photographer said she wants to study to become a curator, and help other young artists make a name for themselves.

“I like being around art. I appreciate art and the influence it has on society,” said Maya, who lives in Bridlewood. “If I went into curatorship I could really contribute.

“There’s a lot of young talent in Ottawa and I don’t think it’s appreciated as much.”

Maya said she will be applying to Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD) and Ryerson universities to study her trade of choice.

ART AS UNNERVING

Maya first started taking photos with a bright red film camera when she was eight.

She continued to study photography using film before making the switch to a digital Sony camera.

“Having that film background definitely helped me with the technical side of it,” she said, adding she often finds her inspiration through films and paintings. She looks up to surrealist photographer Man Ray and painter René Magritte.

“I really like his work,” she said.

“A lot of people think art needs to be beautiful but it can be unnerving…it doesn’t always have to be pretty.”

She displayed four photo-

The Holy Trinity student said the showing helped her decide to go into curatorship. graphs during A Gallery of Portraits that had to do with the passage from one stage of life to another and language barriers. She named each of her portraits after a word with no English translation.

“My first language was

Spanish,” said Maya, who was born in Ecuador and moved to Canada when she was eight.

As she studied the English language, she realized some words couldn’t be translated and keep their meaning.

“The title of each photo-

graph is a word that does not exist in the English language,” she said. “The description of each work explains the meaning of the title.”

The following are the titles and descriptions: • Ya’burnée: an Arabic word that describes the feeling of wanting to die before a loved one because of how difficult it would be to live without them.

• Waldeinsamkeit: a German word for the feeling of solitude while being in a forest.

• Torschlusspanik: a German word that refers to the fear of diminishing opportunities as one ages.

Theatre prepares to stage First World War play Sylvia Ralphs-Thibodeau Kanata Theatre

EMC entertainment - In 2008, Kanata Theatre’s Wendy Wagner read the play, Mary’s Wedding, and knew that she

had to direct it.

Local Trenton playwright Stephen Massicotte’s awardwinning play was premiered in 2002 and has since been performed numerous times in theatres across Canada in-

cluding here in Ottawa at the National Arts Centre.

The enthusiasm towards this play continues to build as last year it was adapted and performed as an opera by Pacific Opera Victoria.

In 2014, the world marks the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War and Wagner hoped to be ahead of the curve in directing a celebrated Canadian play

SUBMITTED

With the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World war less than two years away, the Kanata Theatre is getting ready to present Mary’s Wedding, starring Nicholas Maillet, left, and Emily Walsh.

on the subject – and one that spoke to her soul.

The play is a dreamscape of memories and regrets, love and disappointments.

Its core story has broad appeal, but even those with a more technical interest in the military aspects of the First World War will not be disappointed as some scenes of true events, such as the battle of Moreuil Wood, are integrated into the story.

Additionally, the play’s character of Sergeant (and later Lieutenant and recipient of the Victoria Cross) Gordon Flowerdew is based on a Canadian immigrant from Britain who joined Lord Strathcona’s Horse, a cavalry regiment, and commanded C Squadron, to make a mounted attack on Moreuil Wood.

The play has become an icon for the personal stories and memories of the First World War such that the University of Victoria Archives has since established an exhibit and website named after the play (http://worldofmaryswedding.library. uvic.ca/about.html).

Only two actors appear on stage and action takes place both in the Canadian prairies and overseas.

Emily Walsh and Nicholas Maillet are stunning young actors who would captivate any audience. Rehearsals are

like magic as they begin to inhabit characters both military and civilian and draw us into the story.

Plays are much more than just the people on stage, and Robert Fairbairn, the play’s sound guru has taken on the challenge of adding 3-D sound.

This requires a search for the right software and even some inventive coding to allow sound to seem to emanate from various locations and from varying distances, for example, the sound of thunder overhead or guns in the

distance.

Mary’s Wedding runs Tuesdays through Saturdays at the Ron Maslin Playhouse, on Terry Fox Drive, Nov. 6 to 10 and 13 to 17.

Teen looks to expand charity Halloween drive Jennifer McIntosh

R0011677796

EMC news - Trevor Calof has high hopes for this year’s haunted house.

The Sir Robert Borden Secondary School student has been constructing a haunted house for three years in the name of charity and this year he is going all out.

The teen started the haunted house charity drive in the Margaret Rywak community building on Knoxdale Road in 2009 when he was just 13.

His aunt Cheryl was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis the year before and he wanted to do something to help. He managed to raise $1,500.

Now – three years later – he has managed to raise $6,300 for the MS Society of Canada, Ottawa Chapter. Calof said he wants to double the number of people that visit his macabre creation and with a new home at the Monster Halloween store in Kanata he just might do it.

“I sent Monster Halloween an email telling them what I would like to do and they said they’d be happy to lend me

some retail space,” he said.

Calof and his crew have been working since Sept. 3 constructing a two-storey haunted house which should scare both young and old.

There’s quite a group of friends and family that help out, both on construction and spreading the word via Facebook and other social media.

Calof said planning for 2013 is already underway.

“We kept the theme loose this year because we wanted to appeal to a broader audience,” he said. “But it’s kind of like crazy dimensions. We have a crazy nursery and a haunted swamp.”

The materials are mostly cast offs from last Halloween that Calof and some friends have repaired or re-purposed.

“This one is supposed to move,” he said, as he pointed to a zombie figurine hanging from the wall. “But it works perfectly for what we need it for.”

Calof said last year he started working with a radio station to promote the event.

Three hundred people turned out for the event that year and he hopes to bring the total up

ders Farm in Ottawa and the lineups are like an hour long,” he said. “Ottawa could definitely have another haunted house.”

The haunted tours start Oct. 19 and Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. then start up the following weekend on Oct. 26 and 27. The festivities end each night at 10 p.m. Admission is $7 in advance and tickets can be purchased at the Baseline Road and Terry Fox Drive Monster Halloween locations. Tickets are available at the door for $8. For more information visit, haunt4ms.com.

Ontarians hoarding and throwing away single-use batteries EMC news - Ontarians are avid recyclers, but according to new research findings from Stewardship Ontario, proper disposal of batteries isn’t top of mind for many households.

In fact, more than a third of Ontarians (35 per cent) say they typically dispose of batteries by throwing them in the garbage or including them in their blue box, where batteries aren’t accepted. And even those who normally do the right thing occasionally toss out a battery, with 33 per cent admiting they’ve thrown out a battery in the garbage in the past year.

“It could be that you are hanging on to your batteries because you don’t know what to do with them, or simply putting them in the garbage with regular household waste because you don’t think only one battery matters,” said Paul Gerard, spokesman for Stewardship Ontario, the private not-for-profit company that runs the Orange Drop program. “We want to change bad habits, encourage Ontarians to make battery recycling a positive habit and use our convenient collection network. Some batteries contain materials that are harmful to our environment if disposed of incorrectly, and it’s everyone’s responsibility to ensure that doesn’t happen.”

WHAT’S STOPPING US?

Nearly half (47 per cent) of those who throw batteries in the household trash say they do not know where to bring them, while 39 per cent were unaware batteries should not be thrown out. Interestingly, 23 per cent say they don’t use enough batteries for proper disposal to matter.

Based on research, Stewardship Ontario has segmented the population in regard to their battery disposal habits: • The Unaware group is more likely to be under the age of 34. They buy few batteries and are essentially unaware of the proper recycling procedures. This segment is the most likely to throw their batteries into the regular garbage.

• Members of Only If It’s Easy (19 per cent of Ontarians) use an above-average number of batteries, and while they are generally aware of the proper procedures for disposal they do not always follow through due to a perceived lack of convenience.

• Where, Why and How Ontarians (15 per cent of the population) support household recycling but are unaware of the proper procedures for disposal of used batteries.

Of those who throw their batteries into the regular trash, nearly all (95 per cent) said they would be somewhat likely to change their ways if it was easier for them to recycle.

ARE YOU A HOARDER?

It’s clear that junk drawers across the province are also seeing their fair share of used batteries. The survey reveals that the average household has 15 used batteries that are earmarked for recycling but haven’t made it past the front door yet.

Ontarians who correctly take their batteries for disposal are three times as likely to save up a number of batteries and dispose of them all at once, rather than dispose of their batteries as they are replaced.

OTHER SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS

Nearly half (46 per cent) of respondents said that there should be fines imposed for not recycling, or that it should depend on circumstances, such as the type of material, the amount and the frequency of offenses.

Households in Ontario on average have 12.6 products or appliances that need batteries.

Given that there are 4.8 million households in Ontario, that’s more than 60 million batteries that could be recycled.

“It’s clear that batteries are powering all aspects of our lives,” said Gerard. “Ontarians can help turn a negative into a positive by ensuring they are recycling each of their single-use batteries.”

BATTERY MYTHS BUSTED

Myth: Someone sorts out batteries and other potentially harmful wastes from my garbage.

Fact: Garbage is not sorted – whatever is thrown out goes directly to landfills. The correct method is to collect and recycle primary batteries by dropping them off at a collection site.

Myth: Once a battery dies, it has no other use.

Fact: Used batteries still have life. Properly recycled batteries have valuable resources that can be recovered and used as new ingredients producing new goods. In fact, it is much more efficient to recycle a metal than mine it from the ground. At Stewardship Ontario, over 86 per cent of a single-primary use battery is recovered as new raw materials.

Myth: Recycling batteries is not convenient.

Fact: There are more than 2,000 battery collection sites established throughout Ontario, consisting of municipal depots, special collection events and a network of retail stores, libraries, community centres, schools and other

ABOUT THE RESEARCH

This survey was conducted by the Environics Research Group. The results are based on an online survey conducted with 1,000 adult Ontarians between Aug. 1 and 7.

Because the sample is based on those who initially selfselected for participation in the online panel rather than a probability sample, no estimates of sampling error can be calculated.

Former Montessori school nears sale Laura Mueller

EMC news - Parents who prepaid tuition at a bankrupt Montessori school worry there won’t be any cash left to repay them once the building is sold.

than 50 parents on the hook for thousands of dollars in tuition paid to the former owners of the Montesorri school: Sherie, Sabena and Lester de Mel. The Ontario court put the school into receivership on July 23. The de Mels were not in court on Oct. 11.

Parents in attendance declined to speak to reporters until they had time to understand the results.

The judge, Justice Paul Kane, put a publication ban on the selling price of the 70 Fieldrow St. property and any offers the World Somali Congress made. That information will be made public once the deal is completed, possibly by the end of this week, according to John Haralovich, the vice-president of the receivership company in charge of the file, BDO Canada.

Before the receivership, a July 9 listing of the property

by CLV Realty Corporation included a purchase price of $3.2 million.

The parents aren’t the only unsecured creditors awaiting money from the sale. Teachers, utility companies and others are estimated to be owed $870,000. That money would only be paid after millions of dollars are doled out to secured creditors, including the City of Ottawa for back taxes, the Business De-

court placed it in receivership. But the price went down after the receivership and BDO wasn’t comfortable with a clause that would have allowed Minto to back out of the deal after 30 days, Haralovich said. The company decided to go with the World Somali Congress, and Justice Kane said he was satisfied with that rationale.

“It is not my job to micromanage you,” Kane said.

The name of the new school at 70 Fieldrow St. wasn’t stated in court, but École Islamique Ibn Batouta – a francophone Islamic school – now lists 70 Fieldrow as its address. The school also identifies Abdillahi Ahmed as a member of the school’s board of directors. He is also listed as a director with the World Somali Congress by Industry Canada.

An unidentified representative of École Islamique Ibn Batouta is shown in a video on the school’s website talking about a fundraising campaign with a goal of raising $600,000 towards a new school, but the school site isn’t mentioned in the video.

Another detail that came out in court was the purchase of a BMW vehicle in the company’s name. Lester de Mel is arranging to continue payments on the vehicle, Haralovich said, because it has no value to sell as a company asset because it was financed.

Students spend a night in the shoes of the city’s homeless Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - A group of 20 Algonquin College students braved the cold with little more than the clothes on their backs on Oct. 12 as part of a class project.

The students complete “24 Hours of Homelessness” in their second year of the college’s community and justice services program. The group spent the night at Minto Park on Elgin Street to gain an insight into what their future clients

have to deal with and to raise money for Operation Come Home.

Cat Baron, an instructor in the program, said the students raised $3,000 in pledges for the charity that aids homeless youth in the weeks leading up to the exercise.

Students panhandled for more donations while they were out on the street, and Baron said she hoped to reach a total of $7,000.

Students slept on cardboard boxes and layered their clothes, but other than sleeping bags,

they were allowed very few supplies.

“We did manage to find a couch,” Baron said and pointed to a student taking a rest and playing guitar while some of his classmates panhandled across the road.

Tracy Frazer, who took a quick snooze on the Elgin Street sidewalk while collecting donations, said she wants to work with youth at risk.

“I want to help them get off the street and get their lives back together,” she said. “It’s been a real eye opener.”

Wrapped in a blanket and rubbing sleep from her eyes, Frazer didn’t look that much different than clients she hopes to help one day. She said she looked forward to a nutritious meal and some warmth.

“People have brought us doughnuts and muffins and stuff, but it doesn’t really fill you up,” she said. “I wish I had brought more hand warmers.”

Nick Venable, a resident of Orléans and another secondyear student, echoed his classmate’s complaints.

“It’s been a crazy experience.

Some good things, some bad,” he said, adding it was tough to sleep out in the cold.

Venable wants to work with youth who have ended up on the wrong side of the justice system. He said some homeless people had joined the group of students at different points in the night and it was valuable to hear about their experiences.

“I mean, we thought it was tough doing it for one day in six-degree (Celsius) weather; they do it everyday and sometimes in minus 40 C,” Venable

said.

Baron said one of the biggest benefits to the students is they get to learn what it’s like to walk a mile in the shoes of the people they will serve.

“They are going into the field soon and they are going to be dealing with clients who deal with mental health, addiction issues and homelessness,” she said.

“Before this, most (of the students) had never experienced anything other than their warm beds.”

Do you suffer from GRASS allergies?

Kanata Allergy Services, in conjunction with Kingston General Hospital, is looking for people to participate in a study about an investigational drug for grass allergies.

If you sneeze from May to mid-July and have a runny nose and itchy eyes that make you miserable, chances are you suffer from grass allergies. You may be eligible to participate if you are 18 to 65 years of age and have had grass allergy symptoms for at least two years.

Watson’s Mill bringing history back from the dead Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - Watson’s Mill usually tries to bring history alive, but this October staff are simply hoping to reveal the undead.

On the evening of Friday, Oct. 27, the Haunted Ottawa Paranormal Society will lead two groups in a paranormal investigation of the 150-year-old grist mill in Manotick.

Using professional equipment such as night vision

cameras, electronic voice phenomenon (EVP) recorders and laser screens, the two groups will search the three-floor industrial building for the ghost of Ann Currier, who was killed on the one-year anniversary of the mill’s operation – and never left.

Many have felt her presence before: education officer Cam Trueman said not a day goes by that visitors don’t report a creepy feeling or a brush with the other side.

In 1861, the 20-year-old Ann Crosby had only been married to mill co-founder Joseph Currier for six weeks when her skirts were caught up in the mill’s gears and she was dashed against a pillar, killing her instantly.

Today, visitors and staff report a heaviness or weight on their chest as they ascend the stairs to the attic, and a similar feeling in the basement – a feeling that turns them back immediately.

Trueman said the paranormal society has also found

evidence of a ghost belonging to a young boy, who was possibly drowned in the basement. An angry man has also been detected in the attic.

On Oct. 27, the first group will search the mill from 6 to 9 p.m.

The second group will begin at 10 and end at 1 a.m.

In previous years the mill has taken up to 70 visitors in one big group, but Trueman said they’re splitting that number into two smaller groups this year.

“We’ll give people a bet-

ter experience without feeling cramped. It’s a bit more intimate,” he said. The smaller groups also increase the chances of actually finding a ghost. “When you have that many people it’s difficult to find stuff. It’s better when it’s a smaller group.”

Also new this year, Trueman will lead each group on a brief orientation of the mill before they start their investigation, so they’re more in tune

with who and what they’re looking for.

Everyone will also get a souvenir t-shirt from the experience, Trueman said.

Tickets are $25, and since its Halloween weekend visitors are encouraged to dress up in spooky costumes – but hold the superhero tights.

“We hope for no Batmans or Spidermans, we want them to be spooky people,” Trueman said.

Featuring sports, household items, new items, certificates, etc.

A little rock ’n’ roll goes a long way Jennifer McIntosh

EMC news - There ain’t no stopping Algonquin College now. The students and staff are on the move.

During the fifth annual air bands competition to signify the start of their United Way Campaign, students and faculty alike hit the stage to perform hits like Sweet Child ’O Mine, He’s the Wizard and Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now by the duo McFadden and White-

head. The bands collected donations prior to their performances. Their performances were evaluated by a panel of judges and awarded prizes.

The judges pick went to the band called “Iced Tea” for their rendition of the Guns N’ Roses classic. Emerald City Media Designers took home a prize for the Most Money Raised. The Fan Favourite will be determined when the remaining performances are put on YouTube for a vote.

The college has set a goal

of $120,000. Staff and students will attempt to raise that amount in four weeks time.

To help the college reach its goal, there is a new e-Pledge system that will allow staff to track their individual donations. Full-time staff can also use it to set up a payroll deduction option. Algonquin is the first educational institution in Ottawa to set up the ePledge system.

As part of the $120,000 pledge by the college, students have their own fundrais-

ing goal of $5,000. In a press release, Algonquin president Kent MacDonald said the colleges United Way campaign has the highest student participation of all Ottawa postsecondary institutions. Last year, students raised $50,000 for various charitable campaigns in October and November alone.

The college’s United Way team was set to host a Casino Night at the Woodroffe campus on Oct. 18. On Oct. 23 the President’s Council members

Bring in a small carved/decorated pumpkin to Shoppers Home Health care, 420 Hazeldean road, Kanata

will participate in the second annual Shortest Tie Competition where staff and students make a donation in exchange for a piece of the ties belong-

ing to members of the President’s Council.

The final tally will be announced at a touchdown event on Nov. 30.

IN MEMORIAM In memory of our dad, grandpa and papa, Doug Davis who died 2 years ago on October 20, 2010 Memories of The Heart Feel no guilt in laughter, He knows how much you care.

Feel no sorrow in a smile That he’s not here to share.

You cannot grieve forever, He would not want you to.

He’d hope that you would carry on The way you always do.

So talk about the good times And the ways you showed you cared.

The days you spent together, All the happiness you shared.

Let the memories surround you, A word someone may say Will suddenly recapture A time, an hour, a day.

That brings him back as clearly As though he were still here, And fills you with the feelings That he is always near.

For if you keep those memories You will never be apart And he will live forever Locked safe within your heart Love You and Miss You Debbie, Penny, Patti-Jo, Kerry & Melanie and Families

Ontario to review care of animals in capitivity Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Bruce Roney, the executive director of the Ottawa Humane Society said he would welcome any new legislative amendments to protect marine mammals

in the province’s zoos and aquariums.

Concerns raised about the care of creatures at Marine Land in Niagara Falls, Ont. prompted the government to launch a plan that will include legislative amendments to the Ontario Society for the Pre-

Workshops connect elderly to resources Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - West end seniors get a chance to look at what resources are available to them in their neighbourhoods thanks to the annual Strength of Seniors Workshop to be hosted by the Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode Community Resource Centre.

The workshop is going to be held at the Travelodge Hotel on Carling Avenue on Oct. 19 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The cost for seniors is free and the day will give them access to nutritional, healthcare and financial advice.

Jeanette Woolsencroft, the elder abuse co-ordinator for NROCRC, said the day is all about seniors and their well being.

“It offers advice for caregivers, there is a massage chair they can try out and it’s all free,” Woolsencroft said, adding that lunch and other snacks are provided.

She said that financial advice can be very helpful to seniors because seniors can often be victims of scams.

“A large portion of the elder abuse cases we deal with have to do with finances,” she said. “If we can prevent some of these things from happening then seniors can stay in their homes longer.”

The keynote speaker for the event will be Jennifer May from the Bayshore Home Health program. Manon Thompson, the regional representative for Eastern Ontario Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse will also be speaking to attendees.

Woolsencroft said she wants to see at least 100 seniors at this year’s event.

“I really want it to be a success,” she said.

The event is free, but Woolsencroft said seniors should reserve a spot in advance by calling 613-596-5626 ext.

230 or by email at jwoolsencroft@nrocrc.org.

vention of Cruelty to Animals Act (OSPCA) to improve province-wide enforcement of animal protection measures in the Act. It would also create new regulations to further protect marine mammals in captivity and explore options for the licensing of zoos and aquariums.

“I would like to see organizations like OHS involved in any kind of conversation about improvements to the act,” Roney said, adding that

“roadside zoos” are a real problem in southern Ontario.

“We are lucky that we have such progressive bylaws here in Ottawa that it (roadside zoos) isn’t a problem,” he said.

Although there aren’t any roadside zoos in the area, Roney said he remembers the removal of 260 exotic animals from a Kanata townhouse in 2002. There were animals from more than 70 different species, including boa con-

R0011675687_1018

OHS behind proposed legislation to improve care for marine mammals

strictors and lemurs.

‘There were species in that house I had never even heard of,” he said, adding that it’s important people don’t take on animals they aren’t equipped to care for.

In the case of the Kanata seizure, most of the animals went to zoos across the province, but OHS had to bring in extra staff.

“It was in our old building and the cages were everywhere,” Roney said.

The proposed amendments are the result of recommendations from the Animal Welfare Task Force.

Some of the recommendations include improvements in public health, the operation of shelters and animal-worker health and safety.

The OPSCA Act was last amended in 2009. There are more than 60 zoos in Ontario – more than the number of zoos in all the other provinces combined.

Aries, you may need some creative strategies to clear up some conflicts in your schedule this week. You must be quite popular since you have so much going on.

Taurus, there’s so much to get done this week that you may not know where to begin. Making a list of your responsibilities may help you get organized.

Gemini, you may be on the fence about making a large purchase, but the stars indicate that now could be a good time to buy and things will work in your favor financially.

Cancer, instead of rushing along through the daily grind, take some time to slow down and enjoy the scenery along the way. This will help you clear your head and relax.

Leo, the weekend will not be fun unless you finish up all of your work at the office. Don’t procrastinate and leave all the difficult tasks until next week.

Projects around the house seem to grow with every passing day, Sagittarius. If you do not think you can get them all done on your own, it may be time to hire a professional.

Experiencing car troubles, Capricorn? This may be the ideal time to go shopping for a new vehicle. A new ride can lift your spirits and put to rest those fears about your current vehicle.

Don’t work yourself silly, Aquarius. It’s good to be productive and company-minded, but not if it comes at the price of your health. Recharge before you tackle anything else.

Pisces, while it can be challenging to sit idle, lazy days are very often great ways to catch up on some rest and personal time.

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!
