EMC news - Village Square Park in Stittsville is becoming a royal courtyard this Saturday, June 2.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because it is the site for Rockinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Royalty, a day-long celebration of the queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diamond Jubilee being hosted by Stittsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth connexion program and the Stittsville Youth Association.

And what a courtyard it is going to be, with activities as varied as historically authentic medieval martial arts demonstrations including a duel to a British invasion â&#x20AC;&#x153;Battle of the Bandsâ&#x20AC;? to high tea.

These British-themed â&#x20AC;&#x153;royalâ&#x20AC;? activities will also include horse-drawn carriage rides, improve games, a British Isles family history display, hands-on activities presented by the Goulbourn Museum and the Goulbourn Township Historical Society, photos with â&#x20AC;&#x153;will and Kate,â&#x20AC;? a bouncy castle and old fashioned games.

It is members of the St. Lawrence Swordfighters Guild who will be on hand to provide demonstrations of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;lostâ&#x20AC;? combat techniques of medieval times, showing how battle was waged up-close and personal during the Middle Ages.

Guild members focus their training around the medieval manuscripts written by Italian swordsmaster Fiore dei Liberi whose work â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Flower of Battleâ&#x20AC;? outlines a complete combat system with a wide range of weapons. You will see demonstrations of this throughout the day at Rockinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Royalty.

There will be a number of bands and performers taking part in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Battle of the Bandsâ&#x20AC;? competition on stage at Rockinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Royalty.

Also providing entertainment will be dancers from the Chad Wolfe Studio of Dance and Music.

You may also see a variety of fancy hats and fascinators around the grounds as those attending get in the spirit of the day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a celebration of the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diamond Jubilee by reflecting the best of British traditions.

All this is happening this Saturday, June 2 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Village Square Park at the corner of Abbott Street and Stittsville Main Street in downtown Stittsville. All activities are free with everyone urged to attend.

There will be a BBQ on site where you can grab a bite to eat which can be complemented by having a sip of tea and a dessert at the high tea.

For more information on Rockinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Royalty, visit www.stittsvilleottawa.com or call 613-620-6245.

EMC sports - The Sacred Heart High School Huskies had a great season, finishing second in the eight-team high school tier one girls’ rugby league.

But the Huskies’ season ended quickly on Wednesday, May 16 when they dropped a 9-5 decision to St. Peter High School in a semi-final playoff game, eliminating the Huskies from further play. St. Peter had finished the regular season right behind the Huskies in the standings with a record of three wins and two losses.

In the regular season, the Huskies lost 43-5 to Ashbury, the top finishing team. But the Huskies won all of their other four games, three of them by wide margins. The Huskies defeated Nepean 44-0, Elmwood 43-0 and Ridgemont 67-0 while also beating Merivale High School 12-10.

Mr. Wellum brought his reptiles to the classroom of teacher Janet Perry on Thursday, May 24, the second time that he has been there during this school year. He not only talked to the students about species at risk and the impact of humans on the habitat destruction of reptiles but also gave all the students an opportunity for a hands-on experience with the reptiles.

And the students took up this offer enthusiastically.

the 20 or so students in the classroom was able to access a reptile for a personal, handson experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just loving it,â&#x20AC;? said teacher Janet Perry about the hands-on experience involved in Mr. Wellumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit, pointing out that the students were calm and peaceful, showing no signs of fear of the reptiles.

Yes, indeed, for these students, reptiles do rock!

Currently Mr. Wellum is caring for 85 reptiles, a number which goes up and down as the reptiles that he rescues from dire circumstances come and go from his premises. He has about 30 reptiles which he

owns.

He explained that these rescued reptiles come from circumstances where their owners do not want them any longer and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do with them. He said that 40 percent of these reptiles end up dying as they are too sick or undernourished when he gets them.

He said that reptiles are not short-term pets like hamsters who may live three or four years. Rather, reptiles can live 15 and 20 years and longer.

However, Mr. Wellum said that reptiles can be fulďŹ lling pets, pointing to some small pythons which make good pets because they do not get too large.

In addition, he says that reptiles have individual personalities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all have their own little personalities as you play with them,â&#x20AC;? he told the students.

He gave the example of the monkey-tailed shink as an endangered reptile. It is incredibly agile in trees as it can pull up its whole body weight by its tail.

But clear cutting of the trees for agriculture and a tradition among the natives on the South PaciďŹ c island where they are found to eat them at festival time is dooming them.

On the ground, out of trees, these reptiles can hardly move. That means that it is up to zoos and reptile enthusiasts like Mr. Wellum to try to keep them from extinction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about as endangered as you get in a private collection,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Wellum said about his monkey-tailed shink.

But reptile rescue can be rewarding. Mr. Wellum told the story of the Savannah Monitor lizard which in nature lives in the long grass of the African savannah. He rescued this dinosaur-looking reptile from a ďŹ eld in Orleans last fall after the animal had been abandoned there.

Named Brutus, he is now R0011409999_0524

one of the favourite reptiles that he shows. Just ask Banting student Elizabeth Mayne who held him like a baby at Mr. Wellumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an absolute puppy dog,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Wellum said in describing Brutus.

Also shown during the presentation was a trio of chameleon, that lizard that has the most distinctive eyes of any reptile.

And a major question among the students at the presentation was when would Mr. Wellum and his reptiles be coming back for another

visit. Yes, reptiles do rock!

Teacher Janet Perry likes the way that the students enjoy the reptiles and are engaged so much when Mr. Wellum visits. By learning about the reptiles and handling them, the students gain a respect for the earth and its reptile inhabitants and the environment in general.

The Frederick Banting Alternate Program, operated by the Ottawa Carleton District School Board, is located in the former Stittsville Public School premises on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

1780’s era encampment at Goulbourn Museum John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - At this Sunday’s Doors Open Ottawa event at the Goulbourn Museum, the doors will be “open”, as it were, on a re-enactment group portraying the 84th Regiment of Foot.

This will include a 1780’s era encampment of up to five tents with activities such as cooking, military drills and even the shooting of muskets (using blanks). Period clothing including red uniforms

will be on display. In addition, those involved will be available to talk about the various aspects of the encampment.

While the marking of the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the War of 1812 is attracting a lot of attention this year, this re-enactment encampment at the Goulbourn Museum this Sunday, June 3 will be featuring the 84th Regiment of Foot, a Highland Regiment which was raised to defend Canada during the American Revolutionary War.

While this War ended almost 30 years before the War of 1812, it did have an influence on the later war and on the slowly-developing Canadian independence and identity.

The beginnings of this 84th Regiment of Foot re-enactment group go back to 1975 when Goulbourn residents Lynne and Bram Blenk were part of a group which travelled to Quebec City to celebrate its defense against Benedict Arnold’s attack.

Over the years, this group

has retained its interest in historical reenactment, travelling to such places at the Fortress at Louisbourg, Fort Niagara and Black Creek Pioneer Village in Toronto, as well as various battlefield reenactments.

They now focus their attention on the 84th Regiment of Foot and usually travel to one reenactment activity a month.

This Sunday’s encampment at

the Goulbourn Museum will be their first outing of the season.

Lynne Blenk explains that the group is supportive of the Goulbourn Museum and its work and are doing this as a way of showing support and hopefully attract attention to the Museum.

Although the encampment will be relatively small com-

pared to some, it will include everything that you would find at larger gatherings. There will be cooking over an open fire, living in tents, soldiers in uniform drilling and even the firing of the muskets. The cooking is a popular attraction at these encampments, explains Lynne Blenk.

Regiment from 1780â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Continued from page 4

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are typically fascinated by what we are cooking,â&#x20AC;? she says about those who visit an 84th Regiment of Foot encampment.

But this is far from all that brings forth questions at these encampments, she points out. She says that there are usually a lot of questions about the military drills and why certain maneuvers are done. There is also fascination about the muskets and how they fire. There is fascination as well about the red military uniforms and the heavy material from which they are made. Questions are also prevalent about life in the tents.

As to why Lynne and Bram Blenk, their family and the others are so involved in historical reenactment through the 84th Regiment of Foot, Lynne explains that they are all interested in history, they all enjoy being outdoors and they all enjoy the camaraderie that evolves from the events.

She says that everyone stays in character all of the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take on the role,â&#x20AC;? she says, while adding that for her, she finds that being involved in re-enactments is a perfect way to relieve stress. When she is in her 18th century garb and cooking

outside a tent, current worries disappear as she plays the role of a woman associated with the 84th Regiment of Foot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could go to a spa but this is just what I do,â&#x20AC;? Lynne says.

Lynne hopes that the interest in the War of 1812 will lead to an increase in interest in historical re-enactments. Since the 84th Regiment of Foot was disbanded in 1783 at the end of the American Revolutionary War, the group cannot take part in War of 1812 re-enactments but Lynne says that there is a possibility that some of the group may get involved with some 1812 activities, portraying militia rather than a formal British regiment.

And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry if it is rainy this Sunday, June 3 because the 84th Regiment of Foot is a hardy bunch and the encampment will go ahead rain or shine.

Lynne admits that rainy weather does impact the campfire and the firing of muskets since the powder can get wet but despite this, the event will go ahead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fair weather sport,â&#x20AC;? Lynne says about historical reenactments but while the weather has an impact, it does not stop the military drills and other features of the event.

The 84th Regiment of Foot, a Highland Regiment raised to defend Canada during the American Revolutionary War, saw action in present-day Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada during that war. The Regiment was raised from Scottish soldiers

who had served in the Seven Years War and who had remained in North America.

This re-enactment encampment will take place during the Goulbourn Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation in Doors Open Ottawa this Sunday, June 3 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Everyone is most welcome to attend and see what a 1780â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military encampment looked like. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all free.

Besides this re-enactment encampment, the Goulbourn Museum will be marking its participation in this annual Doors Open Ottawa event by giving tours of its collection storage areas as well as the Museum itself.

Doors Open Ottawa is a two-day event running on Saturday, June 2 and Sunday, June 3 in the city of Ottawa during which over 100 architecturally interesting and historically significant buildings will be open to the public for viewing. Many of these buildings are not normally open to the public. There is free admission to all of these buildings for Doors Open Ottawa.

The Goulbourn Museum is only participating in Doors Open Ottawa on Sunday, June 3.

The Goulbourn Museum is located on Huntley Road at Flewellyn Road at Stanleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners, just south of Stittsville.

Stittsville Main Street becomes Huntley Road at Flewellyn Road.

Final spring concert with longtime music teacher Special to the News

EMC news - The final spring concert at Goulbourn Middle School with the school band under the direction of longtime music teacher Mrs. Linda Crawford happened on Tuesday evening, May 15.

Mrs. Crawford is retiring this June after teaching music at Goulbourn Middle School for the past 29 years.

In the concert, the school band, its jazz band and its grade six band performed, with movie themes being popular. La Bamba

and Mamma Mia were played by the school band under Mrs. Crawford’s leadership. The theme from James Bond and the Pink Panther were played by the school’s jazz band while the grade six band played “Let’s Go Band” under director Mrs. Karen Wiggins.

Under Mrs. Crawford’s direction, the music program at Goulbourn Middle School has risen to prominence, with the band competing regularly in the Capital Region Musicfest. The school band also has enjoyed a group trip every year.

tion during a six week period for installation of a major water main. This will put increased traffic pressure on Maple Grove Road and so the road cannot be closed to traffic for the planned construction work until the end of September when the Hazeldean Road water main installation work is to be completed.

Any traffic calming measures along the upgraded section of Maple Grove Road will be determined by the city’s traffic department after the upgraded road has been open to traffic for six months or so, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri told more than 50 people who attended a public meeting about the Maple Grove Road upgrading work at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena hall on Thursday evening, May 24.

Councillor Qadri also said that he would discuss with Hydro Ottawa the cost involved in burying hydro lines along Maple Grove Road. He said that he would get back to the community about the cost and then it would be up to the residents to decide if they wanted to pay a special tax levy allocated to them for the burying of these wires.

Councillor Qadri also reported that Huntmar Drive from Maple Grove Road to Palladium Drive is going to see some improvement work this summer. It will include re-surfacing of the roadway and the creation of a pedestrian walking area on a paved shoulder of the road. This walking area will be separated from the travelled portion of the road by barriers with orange posts to alert motorists of the walking area. Temporary lighting may also be installed if possible.

Eventually this section of Huntmar Drive will be completed reconstruction but this is not planned, at least presently, until at least the year 2019.

EMC news - The upgrading of Maple Grove Road is a tale of two scenarios.

One sees the road upgraded, with much of it to be transformed to an urban standards street with curbs and sidewalks. The other scenario sees a number of months of construction, with the road blocked off to traffic and rock blasting being part of the construction work.

But when it is all said and done, largely by the end of this year, Maple Grove Road will be an upgraded street, both on the surface and underground.

Mattamy Homes, developer of the Fairwinds subdivision which flanks Maple Grove Road, is undertaking this work as part of its subdivision agreement with the city for its development in the area.

Maple Grove Road east of Huntmar Drive will see outlet and sewer work undertaken. There will be no upgrading of Maple Grove Road in this area, with long range plans calling for an eventual four lanes, although there is no definite timing for this.

It is west of Huntmar Drive where most of the work will be done.

The section of Maple Grove Road from Huntmar Drive to Montserrat Street will see a complete upgrading of the road to urban standards. This includes curbs, sidewalks, street lights and the elimination of ditches.

The section of Maple Grove Road from Montserrat Street west to Johnwoods Streets will be the focus of much work including a significant amount of blasting of bedrock in order to install a deep sewer line. This work is going to take six to seven months complete, partially because the blasting will be done in two layers to reduce impact on nearby homes and on the hydro sub-station on the south

side of the road in this area. The blasting is expected to take place over a three month period.

This work on this section of Maple Grove Road is to be completed late this fall, with the upgrading of the road to full urban standards to be done next spring.

Maple Grove Road west of Johnwoods Street to Alon Street will see construction work as well, as a water main is to be installed to implement a looped water system in the area. The road in this area will never be fully closed to traffic during this water main installation work.

Timing of all this work is varied and it is dependent on when Ontario Ministry of the Environment approvals come through for the work. It had originally been planned to begin the work in May but the Ministry approvals are not yet in place.

The hope now is that the construction work west of Huntmar Road can get underway in July. Because it is a project that may run for at least six months, the start date is important since the city of Ottawa wants Maple Grove Road opened to traffic by the end of the year. Since asphalt plants in the Ottawa area shut down for the winter in late November, the road must be ready for temporary pavement for the winter by late November.

The construction work planned for Maple Grove Road east of Huntmar Drive is estimated to take two months.

However, the city does not want the work to start until the end of September for two reasons.

One is that pedestrians and emergency vehicles will be using the road for access to the Capital Hoedown that is planned at Walter Baker Park in Kanata in August.

The other is that Hazeldean Road east of the Carp River bridge to Young Street will be reduced to one lane in each direc-

Three from Stittsville off to Edinburgh Fringe Festival john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Three from Stittsville will be on stage in Edinburgh, Scotland this August.

The trio, all students at Canterbury High School in Ottawa, will be part of a performance group of students from grades 10 to 12 at the school who will be presenting the student-written play â&#x20AC;&#x153;Criminals, Lunatics, Women & Idiotsâ&#x20AC;? at the annual Edinburgh Fringe Festival which is now the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest arts festival.

The play is also going to be presented by the students from Wednesday, June 6 through Saturday, June 9 at the Elmwood School for Girls in Rockcliffe as a fundraising initiative for the trip to Scotland and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August. Indeed, there is also the possibility that the play may be presented elsewhere in the Ottawa area in the coming weeks, including perhaps in Stittsville.

The Stittsville trio who are involved with this play and will be travelling with 26 other Canterbury students to Edinburgh in August are Jordan Campbell and Kourtney Shayanpour, A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School graduates who now are both in grade 11, and Luke Letourneau, a grade 12 student.

The school received the invitation to participate in this

yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Edinburgh Fringe Festival after a previous Canterbury High School production at the Festival went well and an invitation was extended to return.

The group began rehearsing at lunch time beginning in October, a schedule which continued through February.

Now, rehearsals are being held after school as the time for the shows at Elmwood School approaches.

The play was originally performed 15 years ago, taking its title from a phrase in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former Elections Act which banned criminals, lunatics, women and idiots from voting.

The play has now been updated from this original performance, with the students adding contemporary references and views.

Combining music, movement, comedy and drama, the play is presented in a collective-style which means that the stage is filled with student performers all the time. There is no fixed scenery since such props could never be transported to Edinburgh. Instead, the actors themselves create the set scenery, be it a jail cell or a train or whatever.

The show gets a high rating from Jordan Campbell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast paced. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun,â&#x20AC;? he says about the play.

As for the play itself, Jordan says that it has really opened his eyes to the gender

inequality and sexism in society today. He says that it is important to present socially aware plays in high school and to become socially aware.

But Jordan adds that the show is based on reality and is not a fictional story. He believes that shows are more powerful when they come from this perspective.

Kourtney Shayanpour says that before being involved with this play, she had not paid as much attention about the inequalities that exist in society as she now does.

All three students - Jordan, Kourtney and Luke â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are looking forward to being involved in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are really excited and lucky to be able to do it,â&#x20AC;? Jordan says, pointing out that while there the Canterbury students will be able to see performances by other high school groups as well as other groups.

Kourtney Shayanpour points out that the trip to Scotland is going to be exciting as it will give the Canterbury students the opportunity to be overseas and to experience a different culture. She also is looking forward to performing before a diverse audience of unknown character.

Jordan Campbell, 17, is looking forward to a future career on the stage as he feels that live theatre is a more personal experience for the audi-

Over 63,335 participants made the 2012 Cleaning the Capital spring cleanup a very successful campaign!

We hope to see you all again for our annual Fall Cleaning the Capital campaign in September 2012.

ing atmosphere at Canterbury makes it easy to want to go to school every day.

For Luke Letourneau, 18, who has been at Canterbury for four years now, he has found his interests shifting from drama to music and songwriting. Indeed, he has even written one of the songs in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Criminals, Lunatics, Women & Idiots.â&#x20AC;?

The Canterbury students will be holding fundraising silent auctions at the upcoming shows at Elmwood School.

In other fundraising, they are holding a raffle for Bluesfest tickets. In addition, teacher and play director Paul Griffin took part in a recent improvisational play in which he married the school, yes, married the school, to raise funds for this student excursion to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

In addition, donations are being accepted through the website www.scotland.2012. com This is also the website where tickets for the June 6-9 performances of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Criminals, Lunatics, Women & Idiotsâ&#x20AC;? can be reserved. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors.

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is now the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest arts festival, with last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event spanning 25 days totaling over 2,500 international shows from 60 nations in 258 venues. The Festival is a showcase for the performing arts, particularly theatre and comedy but also including dance and music.

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is an unjuried festival, meaning that any type of performance can participate.

ence than can happen, for instance, on film. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love performing,â&#x20AC;? he says and proof even exists in family records that he was performing when he was as young as 18 months old.

And so while the bus trip to Canterbury High School takes an hour and often the school day runs to 9 p.m. due to extra curricular activities, Jordan would not have it any other way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all worth it,â&#x20AC;? he says.

For Kourtney Shayanpour, 17, she loves performing as well, although she prefers film since then a performance can be perfect thanks to the possibility of re-takes. But whether film or stage, Kourtney loves being in front of people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Acting is what I love to do,â&#x20AC;? she says.

A case of putting off the hard work

D

espite a recent vote against a proposal

by Mayor Jim Watson to look at shrinking the number of representatives around the council table at city hall, councillors should start taking a reappraisal of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current ward system seriously.

Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to initiate a study of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ward system in comparison with other municipalities, based on a campaign promise to reduce the number of councillors,

may have been abrupt, but the problem the mayor is aiming to address looms over city hall all the same.

Some of the councillors who voted against the proposal cited a formal review of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ward boundaries in 2015 as reason enough to delay tinkering with council seats. Others suggested the $250,000 cost of an early review would be a waste of money. But perhaps theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just putting off the hard work for another day.

Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current ward system, born of amalgamation, would be exposed as inefficient under any reasonable scrutiny. When compared with other large Canadian municipalities, Ottawans are over-represented. On average, each councillor in this city represents 40,154 residents, significantly lower than an average of the top 11 comparable muncipalities in both size and form of government, which stands at 53,346 residents for each councillor.

For the sake of further comparison, Calgary has the fewest elected representatives by population among the 11 cities, with one councillor for every 78,345 residents. On the low end is London, Ont., which has one councillor for every 26,154 citizens. Toronto (1 to 59,433), Brampton, Ont. (1 to 52,391) and Surrey, B.C. (1 to 58,531) fall around the average.

Some simple arithmetic reveals that for Ottawa to move towards the average,

about six councillor positions would need to be eliminated, a number that is close to what the mayor had suggested.

Why look at axing councillors? There are several compelling reasons. Ottawa is changing rapidly, with significant growth occurring in urban, suburban and rural areas of the city. The current system was distilled from the former municipalities, boundaries that no longer hold the same meaning as they did in 2001. At a minimum, taking a look at ward boundaries to see if they still make sense would be a useful exercise.

Each councillor represents added cost. While it is hard

to put a price on democracy, clearly some cities are able to do more with less. Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council at least consider if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to do the same? And while the current council has avoided much of the cacophony that characterized the last, fewer voices around the council horseshoe may in fact make it easier to be heard above the din.

Democratic reform is unpleasant business that no one, from self-interested politicians to disinterested voters, ever seems willing to tackle. But if councillors arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested in considering such an exercise now, will they be any more ready in 2015?

Leaving room for nature in the woods CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

A

s you look forward to the next big long weekend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Canada Day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you might want to reconsider your attitude toward fireworks. For some people, the long weekend just past was the first time they became aware of the notion that fireworks are not all fun and games.

Perhaps it was because there were more of them this year. Oddly, given the supposed dire conditions of the economy, cottagers engaged in expensive competitions as to who could make the loudest noises for the longest time.

For three nights, it was as if the lake were under attack. It may still be going on, for all we know.

What do we learn from this? Among other things, some people still have too much money.

As recently as a few years ago, the summer fireworks season was small-scale and relatively harmless. A family would go down by the lake and set off a few, then stop after a few minutes.

But now there are more families with more fireworks and a kind of war of the eardrums has set in.

If it was just us, just people, we could endure it, even enjoy it up to a point. But there is more and more evidence that fireworks do more than disturb the peace. They also frighten wild animals, for which fireworks season is nesting time. The good clean fun fireworks lovers are having around the lake sets off a frenzy of fearful activity amongst the animals. According to a recent cottage newsletter, fireworks can be louder than gunshots or jet plane engines, so the terrified reaction of animals is not surprising, especially since many of them have a more

acute sense of hearing than we do.

Animal rights groups have been aware of this for years, but the idea has not penetrated the public consciousness until recently. This is odd because dog owners are keenly aware of the problem. The Internet is full of advice to dog owners about how to deal with the intense fear that many dogs have. Dog owners are urged to play loud recorded noises in the weeks leading up to a major holiday to get dogs used to it. The owners are offered various medications they can offer their pets. The option of not having fireworks goes unmentioned.

Human beings, of course, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean any harm. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set out to make life miserable for animals. However, we accomplish that quite easily just by being ourselves.

We set out to have fun and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really notice that anyone or anything is inconvenienced.

Or, for that matter, killed. A recent CBC radio documentary focused on the number of wolves and bears that are slaughtered each year around Banff National Park. And how do we accomplish this? With guns? With traps? No, we hit them with cars and trains.

More and more of us take those highways every year, where we stand a good chance of running over something that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect a highway to be there or, for that matter, know what a highway is. The irony of it is much of the killing is being done by people in a hurry to get to the park so they can see the animals.

Canada is not, relative to others, a crowded country. Still, people are moving into spaces that recently belonged mostly to animals. The animals are not used to having people around and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do. When people begin acting like people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is, driving cars around and making loud noises â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nothing good can come out of it.

The kinds of recommendations you see to cure this generally involve banning people from being people. That hardly ever works. Persuading people to think is a more promising avenue, although hardly fool-proof. For a supposedly sentient species, thinking is not always what we do best.

THIS WEEKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S POLL QUESTION

What is the best strategy for eliminating weeds growing in your yard?

A) Yes. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already a review scheduled for 2015. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the rush?

A) One word â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pesticides, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not talking organic.

B) Yes. At a cost of $250,000, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not worth the money.

B) One word â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pesticides, and I would only use organic ones.

C) No. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a few too many councillors on the city payroll â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to take a hard look at that situation.

C) Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll follow the example of my 13% father and my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just head outdoors and start yanking them out of the ground.

D) Weeds are just another of natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; live and let live.

$16,628.95 donation to Ottawa Public library John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - It was a grand day. In fact, it was more than a 16 grand day last Friday, May 25 as the Friends of the Ottawa Public Library Association (FOPLA) at the Stittsville branch handed over a giant cheque representing a $16,628.95 donation to the Ottawa Public Library.

This was almost $5,000 more than the amount turned over by this volunteer group to the Ottawa Public library last year.

The funds, raised through sales at the used book store at the Stittsville library branch, will be used for projects at the Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Manotick and North Gower branches. Last year, for instance, new lounge chairs for the fireplace area of the Stittsville library were purchased through the funds donated by FOPLA. This year’s funding will go to support projects such as enhanced lighting and signage for the

Stittsville library’s ArtSpace area, new wooden shelving for the Richmond library, lounge furniture for the North Gower library and a number of book carts and display units for various locations.

“We really couldn’t do what we do without them,” Catherine Flegg of the Ottawa Public Library commented about the fundraising of the local volunteers of the FOPLA at the presentation ceremony.

Library Board chair Jan Harder, who is a city of Ottawa councillor, praised the efforts of the local volunteers of the FOPLA, suggesting that plaques should be erected to identify the objects in the library branches that are there as a result of the generosity and fundraising of the FOPLA. “You personalize the libraries for the people who use them,” she told the FOPLA volunteers.

City of Ottawa Kanata north ward councillor Marianne Wilkinson, who is a

member of the Ottawa Public Library Board, was also on hand for the presentation

ceremony, along with Jim Bennett, the vice-chair of the Library Board. Also on hand

were Elaine Condos, Ottawa Public Library division manager, and Donna Clark, man-

ager for the Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Manotick and North Gower branches.

Walk in the Park and BBQ John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - For Karen Nielsen of Stittsville, the June 9th Walk in the Park and BBQ to support Scleroderma research is more than just a fundraising event in which to participate. That’s because she is not only a participant in the event but she is also its founder and organizer.

For this year’s event, which is the fourth annual Walk in the Park and BBQ for Scleroderma, a goal of over $12,000 has been set.

The Walk in the Park and BBQ for Scleroderma will be taking place on Saturday, June 9 starting at 11 a.m. at Vincent

Massey Park at the corner of Riverside Drive and Baseline Road in Ottawa. All of the funds raised will go to support Scleroderma research.

This fundraising event has now begun to spread to other communities. This year there will be similar events held in Hamilton, Toronto, London and Halifax.

At the Ottawa event organized by Karen, participants

will enjoy a leisurely walk in Vincent Massey Park, followed by a BBQ and the distribution of prizes. Registration will begin at 10 a.m. that day for the 11 a.m. walk, with the BBQ scheduled for 12 noon. Participants can register that day at Vincent Massey Park or can register online at www.runningroom.com “It’s amazing how this event has generated so much sup-

port and awareness over the years, “ Karen Nielsen says.

“The walkers and sponsors have donated over $30,000 in total to the Scleroderma Society.”

All of the funds raised go to support Scleroderma research in Canada through the Scleroderma Society of Ontario.

Scleroderma itself is no walk in the park.

It is a chronic, often pro-

gressive auto-immune disease, like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and multiple sclerosis, in which the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues.

Scleroderma, which literally means “hard skin,” can cause thickening and tightening of the skin as well as serious damage to internal organs including the lungs, heart, kidneys, esophagus and the gastrointestinal tract.

For more people with Scleroderma, the disease has a serious impact on daily life. For

some, it can even become a life-threatening disease. Scleroderma occurs three to four times more often in women than men. Medication can help to manage some of the symptoms but to date there is no cure.

Karen Nielsen and the organizers of Ottawa’s Walk in the Park and BBQ for Scleroderma are committed to holding this event annually and are constantly working to recruit additional corporate sponsorship as well as more participants.

Track turned over to walkers for cystic fibrosis John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Go-karts gave way to people on the track at Karters Korner last Sunday morning, May 27.

The track at the corner of Fallowfield Road and Huntley Road between Stittsville and Richmond was one of 67 locations across Canada where the Great Strides Walk was held.

This is Cystic Fibrosis Canada’s national annual fundraiser which happens at the end of May each year. May is Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month.

More than 250 of all ages – from the very youngest in strollers to children to adults – took to the track, streaming out onto the surface at 9:30 a.m., half an hour later than planned due to a flood of late registrations.

The walk participants quickly spread out along the

whole track which is almost a mile in length. Some ran; most walked; some youngsters rode bicycles; there was a skateboard or two; roller blades were worn by some; and some were walking dogs.

Some wore t-shirts advocating research and finding a cure for cystic fibrosis. Some carried balloons. Some wore team t-shirts. A quartet calling themselves “The Exercise Nags,” given how they always nag others to exercise regularly, made their way around the track not only with the dog Karma but also in the most outlandish outfits of the walk – green Albert Einsteinlike wigs and blue tops with red sashes. But while there were individual differences, each and every one travelling around that track in this Great Strides Walk had one thing in common – they were doing it

to raise funds for important cystic fibrosis research and care.

A cooling breeze and modest cloud cover made for ideal walking conditions for this year’s event as these Ottawa area walk participants joined more than 10,000 other Canadians in being part of this annual Great Strides Walk across Canada. The fundraising goal for the Ottawa community for this year’s walk was $100,000.

Research is so vital with regard to cystic fibrosis, not only to eventually find a cure but also the make advancements that will improve the quality and length of life for Canadians living with the disease.

Cystic Fibrosis Canada, which hosts this national fundraising walk through the participation of local chapters like the Ottawa chapter, is a charitable organization committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis by funding cystic fibrosis research, innovation and clinical care. Since 1960 when cystic Fibrosis Canada was founded by a group of concerned parents who refused to accept that their children diagnosed with cystic fibrosis would not live long enough even to attend kindergarten, the organization has provided more than $140 million for research and care.

Cystic fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting Canadian children and young adults. It is a multi-system disease that affects mainly the lungs and the digestive system. It is estimated that one in every 3,600 children born in Canada has cystic fibrosis.

In the lungs, where the effects are most devastating, a build-up of thick mucus causes severe respiratory problems. Mucus and protein

Most deaths related to cystic fibrosis are due to lung disease. Currently there is no cure.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease and is not contagious as people are born with it.

Cystic fibrosis occurs when a child inherits two defective copies of a defective version of the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis, one from each parent. Each time two parents who are carriers of this defective gene have a child, there is

a 25 percent chance that the child will be born with cystic fibrosis.

Cystic fibrosis affects each individual differently, with varying degrees of severity.

Each person with the disease follows an individualized treatment program which may include a demanding daily routine of physical and sometimes inhalation therapy to keep the lungs free of congestion and infection. Children and adults with cystic fibrosis must also consume a large number of pancreatic enzymes (on average 20 pills a day) with every meal and

snack to help absorb adequate nutrition from food.

Lung transplantation provides individuals who have end-stage lung disease with the possibility of regaining their health. Cystic Fibrosis Canada supports organ donor awareness to increase the number of donor organs available for this.

Canadian researchers are viewed as leaders in the global effort to find a cure or control for cystic fibrosis. In 1989, Canadian researchers, funded

by Cystic Fibrosis Canada, discovered the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis.

The United Way Community Builder Turning Lives Around Award was presented to Maison Fraternité

by Hydro Ottawa’s David McKendry.

Hydro Ottawa proudly participated in the United Way Community Builder of the Year Awards on May 17. The event celebrated the contribution of exceptional individuals and organizations that have helped shape our community.

For the third consecutive year, Hydro Ottawa sponsored the celebration’s Turning Lives Around award, which was presented to Maison Fraternité. The award recognizes those who help the homeless, people with mental health and addictions problems, and those in crisis get the support they need.

Maison Fraternité was honoured for their work with Francophone youths struggling with alcohol or drug addiction. Their services include an in-school intervention service and a residential day program.

“Organizations like Maison Fraternité do so much to make Ottawa a better place. It’s an honour to help recognize their dedication to our community through the Community Builder Awards,” said Bryce Conrad, President and Chief Executive Officer at Hydro Ottawa.

Hydro Ottawa and its employees are strong supporters of the United Way. Through employee donations and corporate matching dollars, Hydro Ottawa’s United Way campaigns have raised more than $1 million over the past 11 years.

“Contributing to the well-being of our community has always been a part of Hydro Ottawa’s core mandate,” said Conrad. “Each year our employees generously give back to the community we serve.”

In November 2011, Hydro Ottawa’s United Way Campaign Committee was honoured with a Community Builder Award. Thanks to their leadership, and with the support of employees across the company, Hydro Ottawa is now the largest donor among more than 80 companies in the construction, manufacturing and services sector.

Buddhist Temple celebrating 27th anniversary John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The Cambodian Buddhist Temple in Stittsville is celebrating its 27th anniversary this coming Saturday, June 2.

While the Temple has only been at its current Hazeldean Road location since 2004, the Temple’s history goes back to 1985 when the Cambodian community in Ottawa created the Ottawa-Hull Cambodian Buddhist Association Inc., with the Temple originally located on Arlington Avenue in Ottawa.

In 1987, the Temple relocated to Morisset Avenue in Ottawa where it remained until 2004 when it moved to 5883 Hazeldean Road in Stittsville which it has set down roots.

The mission of the Cambodian Buddhist Temple is to promote the teaching of the Buddhist faith in the National Capital region, to provide religious services and educational instruction in the Buddhist faith, to provide religious, educational, cultural, charitable and social services to the community and public and to serve the cultural, social and charitable needs of the community.

This coming Saturday, June 2, to mark the Temple’s 27th anniversary, there will be a morning of special events at the Temple to which everyone

is welcome. This will include a ceremony at 10 a.m. which will include paying respects to the Triple Gem, Taking the Five Precepts, and a Dhamma Lecture. A history of the Temple will be recited at 11:30 a.m. All of this will be followed by a noontime lunch to which everyone is invited.

The Temple now boasts a pair of golden lions and a flag display along its Hazeldean Road frontage as the Temple tries to present an interesting appearance to those who pass by on the Hazeldean Road.

An outline of the history of the Temple is soon going to be placed on a cement monument which sits along the Hazeldean Road frontage, letting everyone know the Temple’s story up to the present time.

This Cambodian Buddhist Temple serves the Cambodian community from across the National Capital area. Its present premises can accommodate the Temple’s regular gatherings but for major events, the Temple must rent an off-site hall in order to accommodate the numbers attending. This is because at times those associated with a Temple in Montreal travel here to attend these special celebrations.

Ven. Rath Sam, who came to Canada from Cambodia as a religious worker in 2009, is the head Buddhist monk at this Cambodian Buddhist

Temple in Stittsville as well as head of its department of expertise and information.

Born in Cambodia, he was ordained a Buddhist monk in 1998.

He holds an Associated De-

gree of Law and a Bachelor’s Degree of the Humanities from university in Thailand.

Coming to Canada in 2009 to become the Temple’s religious and spiritual leader, he has focused on building up the

Temple, improving its appearance and working to include in its activities all segments not only of the Cambodian community in Ottawa but also the general community as well.

“I like to get the people

together,” he says, noting that traditionally Cambodian groups tend to stay apart and not integrate. He has been working to change this and also to make the Temple a part of the overall community.

Gold and Silver Coins Selling for Highest Prices in Over 30 Years Due to Weak Economy and It’s Happening Right Here in Nepean/Ottawa West!

By DAVID MORGAN STAFF WRITER

ICC will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this week asking people to bring in any old silver and gold coins made before 1968 and U.S. coins made before 1970. Those that bring in their coins will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their coins looked at by a specialist. With the help of these ICC members, offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1968. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1968 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies. Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot.

If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors also known as ICC. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections. If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector and ICC member. One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007.

While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICC and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold, says Helms. Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes can be worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on common coins made of silver. Helms explains that all U.S. half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1970 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise.

Right now it’s a sellers market he said.

The rarest coins these collectors are looking for include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 gold coins and any coin made before 1850. These coins always bring big premiums according to the ICC. Silver dollars are also very sought after nowadays.

Other types of items the ICC will be purchasing during this event include U.S. currency, gold bullion, investment gold, silver bars, silver rounds, proof sets, etc. Even foreign coins are sought after and will be purchased.

Also at this event anyone can sell their gold jewellery, dental gold or anything made of gold on the spot. Gold is currently trading at record high prices. Bring anything you think might be gold and the collectors will examine, test and price it for free. If you decide to sell, you will be paid on the spot – it has been an unknown R0011428182-0531

Here’s How It Works: fact that coin dealers have always paid more for jewellery and scrap gold than other jewelers and pawn brokers.

Walk for Water to help community in Kenya John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Every day in developing countries people have to walk lengthy distances to collect water. One of these communities where this has been happening is the community of Seje in Kenya where people have been walking four kilometers every day just to get water from a river and walk home with it.

Now the Community Bible Church in Stittsville is working to eliminate this daily walk for the people of Seje by raising funds to bring a clean and sustainable water course to the community. And it is raising these funds by giving residents of Stittsville and area an opportunity to experience what the people of Seje have been doing every day – walk four kilometers to retrieve water.

This will happen in the first Walk for Water fundraiser being hosted by the Community Bible Church in Stittsville on Saturday, June 23 beginning at 9 a.m. And everyone in the community is welcome to take part and experience what such a walk is like while helping to reach the fundraising target of $15,000.

All of these funds raised will be used to develop a clean and sustainable water source for the people of Seje in Kenya.

The Walk for Water will be a four kilometer walk that will begin at the Community Bible Church at 1600 Stittsville Main Street and will follow a route to the pond at Paul Lindsay Park in Stittsville where walkers will fill up a bottle or bucket and then will make the return trek back to the church with their load of water. In doing this, the walkers will be replicating in a symbolic way the hike that the villagers of Seje must make every day to collect water from a nearby river.

Everyone is welcome to participate in this Walk for Water, with registration now open for both individuals and teams at www.cbcstitts-

ville.com In addition, donations can be made online at www.cbcstittsville.com and will be accepted at the church on the day of the walk.

Volunteers will be located along the walk route and at the church to accept these donations. Now is the time to line up team members and start collecting donations from supporters or raising funds individually in order to make a donation at the Walk on Saturday, June 23.

Families are encouraged to participate and indeed, the Walk for Water is being planned as a family friendly event which will end back at the church premises with fun water games, live music and a BBQ ($5 per person).

The Community Bible Church began its involvement with the community of Seje in Kenya in 2011. Seje is a cluster of villages on the western edge of Kenya in Africa, with a total population of about 5,000 people. The Community Bible Church has developed a partnership with Seje that involves working alongside local leaders to help develop a sustainable community.

There are two significant initiatives currently underway through this partnership.

One involves providing education and meals for the poorest children in the village, many of whom are orphans. This initiative is being funded by financially sponsoring the children.

The second initiative is working to provide clean water for the Seje community.

This is being done not only by partnering with the people of Seje but also by accessing the technical expertise of Water Missions International, an engineering relief and development Christian non-profit organization.

The $15,000 which will hopefully be raised by this Walk for Water on Saturday, June 23 will double the capacity of newly installed water infrastructure in Seje, meaning that at least another 500 people will have access to clean

water there.

This Walk for Water is another in an ongoing series of fundraising projects arising out of the Community Bible Church’s commitment to the Seje community.

These have included a Sow Good Sale which was held last November and a trivia night which was held earlier this year. Seje is a cluster of five villages that are predominately Christian with the community located on a ridge about 150 feet above the Yala river valley. The ground is typically dry and rocky and for years the people of Seje have spent hours walking two kilometers each way to draw wa-

Kenya is located in sub-Saharan Africa along the equator. It was a British colony until gaining independence in 1963. Seje itself is located about 25 kilometers from the Ugandan border to the west. The community is north of Lake Victoria in a relatively remote part of Kenya.

Although located on the equator, Seje’s climate is somewhat moderated by virtue of its elevation which is about 4,000 feet above sea level. For more information about the Community Bible Church’s Seje project, please visit www.cbcstittsville.com/home/sejeproject

Two million dollar fire guts banquet facility Special to the News

EMC news - Two million dollars went up in smoke and flames overnight last Saturday/Sunday.

This is the estimate of the damage caused by an overnight fire which left the West Carleton Banquet Meeting Centre on Richardson Side Road just east of Carp Road gutted.

Ottawa Fire Services firefighters at Station 46 on Iber Road in Stittsville responded to an emergency call from a monitoring company at 2:31 a.m. on Sunday, May 27, rushing to the scene. Upon arrival, the firefighters reported audible alarms and an odour of smoke.

Within minutes of arrival on the scene, flames were visible through the roof. At about 3 a.m., a large section of the building’s roof collapsed, causing the firefighters to adopt a defensive positioning with regard to the fire. The firefighters were still battling the blaze at 4:15 a.m.

$1,421 raised At Stittsville Legion Barb Vant’Slot

Special to the News

Special to the News

Your Children’s Aid Home Alone Summer is almost here, and families are preparing for holidays. It’s hard to believe that the end of the school year is only 4 weeks away, and for some, planning for child care over the summer holidays can be extremely stressful, complicated, and expensive.

Especially challenging for parents is finding appropriate care arrangements for children over the age of 10.

The ultimate question at this time of year, is ‘at what age can a child be left home alone or to care for others’?

Leaving a child unattended under the age of 10 is in contravention of the criminal code, and the CAS of Ottawa does not recommend that parents leave a child under 12 to care for other children.

Although the law has determined that children over the age of 10 can legally be left unsupervised, it is the responsibility of the parent to ensure that regardless of their age, children under the age of 16 are safe or in the very least make provisions for their safety. This means ensuring a proper readiness and safety planning for children or youth who are left alone.

Making this decision can be stressful for parents, who need to consider a wide range of factors when determining when their child is ready to be home alone. For example, is your child able to make sound decisions as it relates to their ability to handle emergency situations? Are their surroundings safe? How long will they be left alone? For some parents who consider these factors, it may become evident that even their 14 year old is not ready. For older youth for whom being left alone can lead to boredom related risky behaviours, there are a wide range of challenging and engaging recreational activities in the city to keep them busy. Involving teens and preteens in the planning of their summer activities may also help to ensure they will have fun and stay safe throughout the summer For more information on leaving children home alone call 613-747-7800.

Against conservation authorities, for land patents Theresa.fritz@metroland.com

EMC news - Conservation authorities are overstepping their authority and the time has come to do something about it, says an Ottawa-based lawyer.

Terrance J. Green and his associates announced at the May 24 Carleton Landowners’ Association (CLA) annual general meeting in Carp they are prepared to pursue a class action suit against Ontario’s conservation authorities.

“I am a lawyer, don’t hold that against me,” he told the standing room only crowd at the Carp Agricultural Society hall. “I am also a landowner and I have learned a lot about conservation authorities, private property owner rights and particularly Crown grants.”

Green said the main purpose for his attendance at the meeting was to talk about conservation authorities, where they get their mandate, what are their objectives, how they “abuse their mandates” and how to try and stop them.

Harsh criticism of Ontario’s conservation authorities is nothing new for Green. In 2011, he assisted the Ontario Landowners Association (OLA) in penning a 35-page report on the subject.

In it, Green argued “recent conduct of the various con-

servation authorities suggest they have become onerous on the municipalities and the provincial taxpayers.”

Over the past few weeks, his associate Mariah Soper has undertaken extensive research on conservation authorities, their bylaws and constitutions and the legality of the authority under which they operate.

In Ontario there are currently 36 conservation authorities, formed under the Conservation Authority Act of 1946. West Carleton-March falls under the jurisdiction of Mississippi Valley Conservation.

The mandate of conservation authorities is to ensure water quality, prevent flooding, reduce erosion, preserve wildlife, ensure there is proper access to the 300 conservation areas in Ontario and enhance conservation efforts.

They also comment on development if there is a potential impact on wetlands.

But Soper told her audience there is a lot more going on with conservation authorities than meets the eye, and her research led her to discover all kinds of phrases/regulations that were self created and can harm landowners.

“They also have other powers that you don’t hear about,” she said, noting bylaws indicate conservation authorities

can also do what is necessary for other purposes not necessarily listed in their objectives.

“They can enter you land, take your land, intimidate you and confuse you,” she cautioned. “We need to stop them from doing this. We need to bring them back to their original mandate.”

Soper said she learned conservation authorities even have the power to alter waterways, something that surprised her.

She also hinted the conservation authorities are motivated by money and their actions reflect that.

“The major thing here is intimidation,” Soper noted.

To combat what some feel is the blatant abuse of power by the conservation authorities, Soper called on landowners to step up and be part of something bigger.

“We want to set a precedent,” she stated. “We want to start a class action suit.”

The message she said needs to be sent to conservation authorities is that if they go on somebody’s land, they will be found out and it won’t be tolerated.

She cited several cases in which landowners came up short against conservation authorities when the landowners were only doing things on their own land – like using

foreign fill.

“Know your rights, get your land patents. They want to take away your rights,” Soper concluded, to tremendous applause.

The topic of land patents was discussed briefly, earlier in the event, when Liz Marshall spoke. Marshall is the woman behind the search on Crown Land Patent Grants for the OLA. She has done extensive research on the subject and has travelled across Ontario speaking to landowner groups and individuals.

She advised those in attendance at last week’s meeting a commercial title search only goes back 40 years and may not protect a property owner from issues that pre-date that search.

“Unless they go back 60 years, you are not separate from the Crown…A patent can never be amended, repealed or quashed,” she emphasized. “They are real.”

Marshall explained that most of the property rights legislation in Ontario goes back to the early 1990s when former New Democratic Premier Bob Rae “replaced and reinstituted” property legislation. This was later “tweaked”

by Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty.

She emphasized that having

the original Crown Land Patent Grants helps landowners override certain bylaws and government regulations.

Cautioning it could take up to a year to get a certified copy of Letter Patent, she urged everyone to do so and get a full title search done on their land.

“If nothing else please get your complete title searches done and please demand your deeds,” Marshall stated.

“Deeds transfer ones rights from patentee to you.”

“A Crown Patent gives you all the rights the monarch has in terms of doing anything you want on your land,” added Green.

“Any conditions that are there, they are noted in title.

If there are no conditions, you

are allowed to do what you want on your land. The only condition that is not written is you have the right do what you want on your land as long as you don’t interfere with the rights of your neighbours to enjoy their land.”

Marshall urged all those present in Carp last week to “help Green and associates win this battle” against conservation authorities.

“It will take one conservation authority to go down and it will be dominoes,” she said.

COYOTE CONFLICTS

Recently, my office has been receiving calls about possible coyote sightings.

Coyotes perform an important role as a predator in southern Ontario, helping to control the populations of rabbits, rats and mice. In the country, coyotes are commonly found in open, agricultural land that includes woodlots and areas covered with brush. In cities, coyotes prefer natural green space, such as parks, ravines and stream banks.

Avoiding Coyote Conflicts Coyotes are usually wary of humans and avoid people whenever possible.

However, they are wild animals and should not be approached. People should never feed coyotes. Feeding them makes the animals less fearful of humans and habituates them to foods provided by humans. Never attempt to â&#x20AC;&#x153;tameâ&#x20AC;? a coyote. Do not let pets chase coyotes as it could result in injuries to your pet.

Recently, I met with some local business owners after their business was visited by a group of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Romasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gypsies.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I also received word that other businesses were visited by this group and that they were attempting to scam the businesses into sketchy operations. I thought it would be prudent to share this information with the community as a heads-up in case you or your business is visited by the group.

CITY REMINDS POOL OWNERS TO PROPERLY DRAIN STANDING WATER

While warmer days are inspiring residents to begin opening their pools, the City of Ottawa reminds pool owners to refrain from draining chlorinetreated water onto their lawns or into storm sewers located near the curb of the street. Chlorinated pool water can be harmful to the environment. Since most stormwater sewers feed directly to the nearest creek, stream or river, it is essential that this water is free of chlorine, algaecides, fungicides and EFCSJT 5P EFDIMPSJOBUF ZPVS QPPM XBUFS MFU JU TUBOE GPS POF XFFL PS BQQMZ B dechlorination additive, which can be purchased from any local pool retailer.

If water is being drained onto your lawn, please make certain that the ground can absorb the water so it does not flow on to other properties. While draining water into storm sewers, ensure that the sewers are free of leaves and debris, and that this work is conducted on a dry day with no rainfall.

If you are unable to dechlorinate the pool water, it must be drained into the sanitary sewer. Most in-ground pools have a drain line connected to the sanitary sewer. For small above-ground pools, pool owners can access the sanitary sewer by running a hose to an indoor drain such as a utility tub. Please contact a plumber for further information. Residents with saltwater pools cannot use the storm sewers for drainage. Saltwater can be drained onto the lawn and into sanitary sewers, or may be removed by a licensed wastewater hauler.

Theft from unlocked vehicle Special to the News

EMC news - Vehicle doors should be locked at all times, especially overnight.

In addition, valuables should be removed from the vehicle.

If these two rules were followed, thefts from vehicles would be virtually nil.

But because these two easy rules are not fol-

lowed, thefts from vehicles continue to happen.

Another happened recently on Gamble Drive in Richmond when an unlocked vehicle was rummaged through sometime during the early morning hours of a Saturday by an unidentified culprit.

Stolen were a laptop computer, a $300 pair of silver sunglasses and an XM satellite radio.

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The contract to move the historic Horticulture Building at Lansdowne Park has been awarded by the city of Ottawa to CDS Building Movers of Stittsville, albeit without a competition.

Mayor Jim Watson said the company is one of the only options in

the Horticulture Building contract and it falls within the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rules because it is a specialized service.

The latest numbers approved by the city in April include a total of $10.3 million in work related to the Horticulture Building: $5 million to move the structure, $1.3 million to renovate it to be used as event space, an info centre and perhaps a cafĂŠ or

restaurant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; plus another $200,000 to relocate memorials and do related work and $3.8 million to rebuild the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foundation.

The city also awarded EllisDon Corporation the contracts to construct the foundation for the relocated Horticulture Building, to demolish the Coliseum Building, excavate and remediate soil around the

Coliseum and Horticulture buildings and other work, including relocating utilities. That contract was subject to competitive bidding.

EllisDonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work should begin in June and be completed in November.

Structural works to stabilize the relocated Horticulture Building will be ongoing until March 2013, according to a city press release.

Falling deeper into a dark place The increasing number of adolescents seeking care for mental health issues has skyrocketed, but stagnant funding is straining the system Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - It would be a heartbreaking experience for any mother.

Kathy Brunsdon sat by the phone for a week at her Stitsville home, making call after call, concerned about her 15-year-old daughter Hannah.

Daron Richardson, a 14-year-old girl who lived nearby, had recently died of suicide.

And Kathy was concerned that Hannah was displaying the warning signs she was reading about. She already had a psychiatric referral in at CHEO, but hadn’t heard anything back.

“I don’t remember anything,” Hannah, a Canterbury High School student, said about the time. “I felt like I was hovering above myself. It was just a horrible time.”

Kathy waited.

“I hadn’t heard back and Daron Richardon’s suicide happened and I started to panic,” she said. “I tried calling for an entire week, leaving a message every day. I sat right there by the phone. I don’t remember moving from the phone, just waiting and waiting and waiting.”

Since then, mental health services for youth throughout the city have seen a spike in demand.

SPIKE IN DEMAND

In 2011, CHEO saw 1,479 psychiatric crisis visits to its emergency department, mostly teenagers with depression and anxiety related issues. That’s 50 per cent increase in two years, served by the same 25 beds and staff numbers that the psychiatric ward had in 2009.

CHEO has stated that in Ontario, one in five youth have some type of mental health problem, but only one in six of those get the help they need. That means for every 30 youth in Ontario, five have mental health problems that may go untreated.

Ottawa has seen a swell of awareness in the media and at public events since the high-profile death of Daron Richardson, daughter of Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson in November 2010, and Jamie Hubley in October 2011, city councillor Allan Hubley’s son “Certainly in November 2010, over a couple of week period of time we saw this remarkable increase,” said Dr. Hazen Gandy, director of child and adolescent mental health services at CHEO. “We expected the volume of business to return to the consistent level, but it’s continued since then.”

It’s a cause and effect that has spiralled out of control, leading youth and parents alike through traumatizing months on a waitlist before they can get treatment.

Comparing CHEO’s increase in demand for psychiatric services to other hospitals is hard – children’s hospitals vary significant in catchment area and size, and the detailed mental health statistics only began to be released in 2011.

But CHEO had more than 1,400 visits to the emergency room for mental health issues in 2011, the greatest number in the province.

The second-highest demand in On-

Hannah, left, and Kathy Brunsdon were thrown into a complicated youth mental health system when Hannah, now 16, was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in 2010. The Brunsdons were put on a waiting list in 2009 around the time of Daron Richardon’s death – a time period that saw a spike in demand for youth mental health services. tario was at the Children’s Hospital at the London Health Sciences Centre with 845. The third, Lakeridge Health Corporation, saw 625.

Gandy said overall emergency room visits have gone up, but the increase in mental health visits exceeds the overall increase.

“There are other places seeing a fairly significant increase, so I don’t think we’re alone,” he said. “But certainly in eastern Ontario, we’re

I’m trying to make things better and I can’t because there’s nobody to help me, nobody to guide me.”

seeing substantial increases.”

The youth psychiatry program at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre serves referrals for 16 to 18years-old from CHEO’s emergency room, so the demand has hit the program just as hard.

“We started seeing some increase at the end of 2009, but there has been a big surge since Daron Richardson, and then that was followed

by Jamie Hubley,” said Dr. Smitta Thatte, youth psychiatry clinical director. “And it hasn’t stopped.”

In 2009, Thatte said the department had 10 to 12 referrals a month – today, they see 25 to 30 youths a month.

“Definitely more than a two-fold increase in referrals,” Thatte said.

“There is always somebody waiting.”

Campaigns like Do it For Daron – an awareness campaign for recognizing mental illness and reducing stigma – has helped identify many more youth who can benefit from help.

36 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, May 31, 2012

“You’re told that it will be nine months (on the waitlist),” said Kathy. “And OK, but someone just died. And supposedly the parents didn’t know at all, there were no cues. And here I am, and I’m trying to make things better and I can’t because there’s nobody to help me, nobody to guide me.”

Gandy said he hasn’t seen an increase of parents crying wolf, and CHEO truly is seeing more patients who have significant mental health issues coming forward.

“When they said that I must have a mental illness, it was right around the time they started Do it For Daron,” Hannah said. “So that was a huge part of my story, being able to realize, and realize that it’s OK. And to realize I needed to get help before it turned into something that I wasn’t able to be in control of.”

It’s an increase that has forced every mental health organization in Ottawa to respond and make changes in the way they offer services, including permanent changes to their day-to-day operations.

CHEO has stopped taking any elective cases, meaning waitlists for services to support children with ADHD or anxiety disorders have been stretched even further.

They’ve hired more crisis workers to cover evenings and weekends and have asked other partners, like family physicians, to provide more mental health care.

“We’ve really shifted our resources for acute care, and that’s allowed us to manage the trends,” Gandy said. “It’s robbing Peter to Paul. It’s not like we’re adding new resources.”

The Youth Services Bureau (YSB) has been one of the partners to step up to try and fill the gap.

Francine Gravelle, director of mental health services at the YSB, has responded with a walk-in clinic

that can help before youths get treatment somewhere like CHEO. “A five month waitlist (at the Royal or CHEO) isn’t realistic,” Gravelle said. “Not all should be waiting when a few (counselling) sessions can provide them with the support they need.”

YSB runs a variety of mental health services, including shortterm and long-term counselling, but the walk-in clinic, held twice a week at their Carling Avenue location started in January 2011.

First, they went through their own wait-list of clients who wanted access to counselling, before opening up the clinic for others. Originally one day a week, it expanded to two days this past October.

“When they wait, their situation deteriorates,” Gravelle said, of the children and youths. “That helped clients, knowing that when they need service, they could just come by.”

And it’s been what a large percentage of their clients needed.

April 2011 to March 2012 saw 680 clients come to the walk-in – and 67 per cent didn’t need referrals for future services, taking some pressure off CHEO. ‘BUMPY RIDE’

“As one parent said, it’s a bumpy ride,” Gravelle said. The walk-in clinic provides a buffer zone for clients in the grey area between in-crisis and at risk of suicide.

Seeking treatment for youth mental health can be tough.

“I think this is a great time to be looking at how the different groups and agencies can partner together, and there are solutions,” Gandy said.

Resources can be funded through the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, or Ministry of Children

and Youth Services. YSB is funded by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, while CHEO gets funding through the Ministry of Health.

“This whole system is somewhat fragmented,” said Thatte. “So really the parents and the patients don’t know which door to go in, and many times they are referred to different places.”

The consensus is that a better network of services needs to be formed to support one another, and to provide integrated care.

“The reality is, the system is complicated. It has silos, it’s not easy to navigate,” Gandy said.

“How do all these agencies begin to talk to each other to make it easier to get the right service at the right time?”

And for Hannah and Kathy, a mother and daughter who spent hours researching and studying the course of treatment, they would like to see prevention taught earlier.

Hannah ended up on a nine-month waitlist for CHEO and eventually, after insurance covered some private treatment, was able to get help at the Royal, which had a shorter waitlist. She participates in YouthNet at CHEO, a support group that doesn’t require a doctor’s referral, and runs a gender-specific group session, as well as organizing therapeutic arts and recreation activities.

But she thinks that getting to that breaking point where she couldn’t bring herself to get out of bed in the morning – days she can’t even remember – wouldn’t have happened if she had been taught coping strategies in school from an early age.

“You don’t just wake up one morning and you’re feeling suicidal. You wake up each morning just feeling a bit worse,” Hannah said.

“So I think we need more of what we have. A YouthNet here, YSB centres, walk-in centres in different places.”

Gandy said with more resources, not only could youth who haven’t been admitted be treated, but those who are high-risk patients could potentially be discharged sooner.

And fundraising for awareness shouldn’t shift focus, Thatte said.

But she said they remain hopeful that increased awareness in the community will result in pressure on the government to increase resources.

At CHEO, they’ve made almost all the changes they can with the resources they have. But staff are still anxious about future growth, as they expect numbers to continue to rise.

“Certainly if it continues to increase at the rate that we’ve seen, it’s not going to be sustainable for us,” said Gandy.

A mental health strategy for Canada titled Changing Directions, Changing Lives was recently released, which highlights improving access to the right combination of services and treatments, and an increase in funding to fix the current problem.

The report supports partnerships and treatments in a variety of ways, but sums it up in the introduction with one clear statement: the status quo is not an option.

CHEO recommends using www. e-mentalhealth.ca as a resource for parents or youth looking for information. The YSB crisis line is available for youth or parents 24-hours a day at 1-877-377-7775 or by email at crisis@ysb.on.ca.

What’s up, doc, in village of Stittsville?

EMC news …A proposed development at the corner of Hobin Street and Ember Glow (formerly First Avenue) has been reduced in scope by the proponent. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri reports that the development proposal, which initially was for seven housing units on the site, has now been reduced to five units. There will be two semi-detached homes (four units in total) facing on Hobin Street as well as a single unit, perhaps a bungalow, also facing on Hobin Street.

The initial proposal had evoked considerable community opposition. Councillor Qadri feels that this new development proposal is a good compromise, showing that the developer has listened to the community’s concerns about over-development of the property. Councillor Qadri says that he will ask that the zoning for the property limit its development to five housing units as proposed…The Goulbourn Township Historical Society is organizing an outing to the Cumberland Museum on Sunday, June 10, with those attending to meet there at 11 a.m. A special reduced admission rate of $4 will apply.

Westwind Public School donates $5,400 to Apple A Day program Special to the News

EMC news - Students and staff at Westwind Public School in Stittsville are helping children in need in the Ottawa area by supporting a traditional way of keeping health – eating apples.

The Westwind Public School community has raised $5,400 which has been donat-

ed to the Education Foundation of Ottawa to support the Foundation’s Apple A Day program. The funding will help the Foundation continue this Apple A Day program when school begins again this coming September.

The Foundation is now feeding 5,000 children each week with fresh Ontario ap-

ples through this Apple A Day program.

The $5,400 was turned over to the Foundation at a special spirit assembly at Westwind Public School last Friday afternoon, May 25 when students, dressed up in spirit day attire of backwards, inside-out clothing, presented an oversize cheque for $5,400

to a representative of the Education Foundation of Ottawa.

“Westwind Public School has set a new record for generosity towards children in need in Ottawa,” said Dr. Jane Fulton, executive director of the Education Foundation of Ottawa.

“Thanks so much to the students and teachers who made

this gift possible,” she said.

“They are making life better for so many kids.”

Students and staff at Westwind Public School participated in a read-a-thon and also organized Fear Factor challenges to raise these funds which were donated to the Education Foundation of Ottawa.

The Education Foundation of Ottawa welcomes donations to meet a waiting list filled with children who cannot bring an adequate lunch to school. Donations can be sent to the Foundation at 133 Greenbank Road in Nepean or by visiting CanadaHelps. org and typing in Education Foundation of Ottawa.

The back-story on back pain.

R0011421721

All boys and girls ages 5-19 welcome!

John Brummell photo

By: Your local Family Physiotherapy Team Second only to the common cold for being the most frequent cause of time off work, back pain always seems to be lurking around the corner. 85% of adults between the ages of 30 and 65 will have back pain at some point in their lives that will cause them to seek advice from a health care provider.

The most common causes of low back pain include: 1) Lumbar strain/sprains 2) Disc herniations (discs act as cushions and shock absorbers between each individual vertebrae) Strains and sprainsoccur when either muscles or ligaments abnormally stretch

or tear. A disc herniation is when a disc ‘bulges’ out from between vertebrae and put pressure on the spinal nerves and cord. Symptoms of a disc bulge with nerve compression may include sharp shooting pain, numbness, tingling,and weakness into the legs. Both injuries are likely to occur as a result of over use, poor conditioning, and improper body mechanics while lifting and stressing the spine.

Most episodes of back pain last a few days and are resolved within a few weeks.

The first 1-2 days are the most painful and it is recommended to have your back evaluated by a healthcare practitioner.

A visit to your local family

physiotherapist can assist with treating not only your symptoms but also the cause of injury. Through exercise prescription, education, manual therapy and therapeutic modalities, Physiotherapy can help speed up the healing process, prevent re-injury and get you back on track!

Grand opening is held at Dandelion Kids’ new spot John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - There was a Princess.

There was Elmo from Sesame Street.

And there was city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri.

But despite their presence, the ribbon cutting to mark the official opening of the Dandelion Kids consignment store in its new premises at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) was done most appropriately by three and a half year old Mya Labelle, granddaughter of owner Sandra Edwards, with the Princess, Elmo, councillor Qadri and others, both young and old, looking on.

This was how it should have happened because Dandelion Kids consignment

shop is all about kids – providing reasonably priced, quality previously loved clothing and toys for youngsters.

And it wasn’t like the Princess, Elmo and councillor Qadri had nothing to do.

The Princess, from the royal domain of Little Princess Party Fun, was kept busy in the sunshine outside the door of Dandelion Kids, making balloon animals such as poodles and painting faces with such images as sharks and bunnies.

Elmo, that furry red monster from the Sesame Street TV show, moved around the shop, hugging youngsters and exchanging high fives with them. He’s a lovable creature, to be sure.

And for councillor Qadri, his visit to this location brought back memories

because these premises were the initial location for his popular Showbiz Entertainment business which he operated in Stittsville before entering politics.

Hot dogs and drinks were also being served at this grand opening event, with proceeds from donations made for them, which turned out to be over $100, being given to Roger’s House.

On the gourmet side of things, cupcakes were also available to those attending the grand opening.

Dandelion Kids consignment shop formerly was located on Stittsville Main Street just south of Abbott Street, in the heart of Stittsville. It has now relocated to the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza).

SENIORS & NEWS

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories EMC Lifestyle - It looked like we were going to have a bountiful garden that year. The tomatoes were already high enough to be staked, and we were picking away at the bright green lettuce leaves for sandwiches. These were a favourite of mine.

Piles of new lettuce leaves, sprinkled with vinegar and sugar, between two slices of freshly baked bread.

It was when the peas and green beans started to sprout that Mother grew concerned that if she didn’t do something fast, the crows, the squirrels and the rabbits would be feeding on them before we did.

It was a problem that had to be discussed with Mrs. Beam.

She was the one everyone in the Northcote area went to if the issue couldn’t be handled on their own. She delivered babies, and treated all minor illnesses (this saving the dollar fee charged by old Dr. Murphy if he had to come all the way out from Renfrew). And she generally could give advice on everything from making soap without having big pieces of Gilletts Lye imbedded in your skin when you washed, to who were the best customers when peddling produce in town. Yes, it was time to call on Mrs. Beam.

She came, wearing her usual regalia: gum rubbers, an old straw hat that had seen better days, and a print dress that barely covered her wide girth. She went right to the garden.

She took one look at what passed for a scarecrow, a slat of wood stuck in the ground with an old plaid shirt of Father’s hanging over it, and made clucking noises like a Leghorn hen.

“That wouldn’t scare away a hummingbird,” she said. “What you need is something that looks like a person...a real person.”

It was obvious she wasn’t going to leave until a decent scarecrow was imbedded in our garden. She hollered at Everett who was cleaning out the henhouse. I was sure they could hear her in Admaston. She pointed to the drive shed, crooked a finger at Everett, and they both headed for the open door where Father kept his tools and odd pieces of wood. Mother was right behind them, and of course, not wanting to miss out on the excitement, I too followed. Mrs. Beam pointed to two long pieces of 2X4s and ordered Everett to nail them in the shape of a cross. It was so big, I wondered how he was going to get it out of the shed.

But between him and Mrs. Beam, it was lugged over to the garden. On the way out of the drive shed, Mrs. Beam grabbed a

Your Community Newspaper

Mrs. Beam builds ‘moose’ scarecrow shovel and it sure looked like she meant business.

She went right to the centre of the garden, between the rows of green beans and the just-starting-to-sprout carrots. With her right foot jammed onto the shovel she started to dig. When the hole was deep enough to her liking, she ordered Everett to stand the thing up in the cavity, and then she proceeded to anchor it with the dirt. She gave it a couple of good whacks with the shovel, rubbed her two hands together, and told Mother to get some of Father’s work clothes out of the house. “And bring a straw hat too,” she bellowed.

Mrs. Beam was well prepared. She had grabbed a hammer and nails from the drive shed, and instead of putting the overalls on the wood frame, she nailed them to the 2X4s, but the plain shirt was put on the cross bar, the straw hat anchored to the top with more nails, and the job was finished. It looked like a tenfoot giant standing in the middle of the garden.

“That should do it,” she said, standing back and planting a gumrubbered foot right on a patch of green lettuce.

She assured Mother nothing would come near the garden. A scarecrow that size, she said, would scare off a moose!

The day passed. Occasionally I would take a peek out into the garden, and it seemed to be working. There wasn’t a bird or rabbit in sight. Father, who didn’t believe in scarecrows, never said a word other than he hoped Mrs. Beam hadn’t used the good nails he had just bought for a pretty penny at Briscoe’s General Store. The next morning, just after breakfast, I went out to take a look at the scarecrow. It was still there all right. But on one of the boards representing an arm, there were four crows, and on the other outstretched 2X4 a squirrel was eating a belly full of something. I knew not what, but was reasonably sure it came out of the garden. I ran in the house to tell Mother. She headed for the garden waving a big flour bag tea towel in the general direction of the scarecrow. The birds just looked at her and never moved a muscle until she was almost on top of them.

Mother said she thought she should call Mrs. Beam again.

Father said to save her energy. Gardens had been planted on that farm for three generations, and something you just put up with were crows, squirrels and rabbits.

“Mrs. Beam better stay with delivering babies,” he said under his breath.

Besides the Goulbourn Museum, the card applies to Billings Estate, Bytown Museum downtown, Cumberland Heritage Village Museum, the Diefenbunker in Carp, Osgoode Township Museum, Pinhey’s Point Historic Site in Dunrobin, Vanier Museopark and Watson’s Mill in Manotick. The Nepean Museum is not participating in the program.

For $70 per family or $50 per individual, card holders will enjoy free admission for the year at the four museums that charge (there is no admission charge at the Goulbourn

Museum) and they can access exclusive and discounted programming at all 10 museums throughout the year.

The idea behind the Connexion Card is to encourage people to visit not only their local community museum but also the other community museums across the city.

It costs $15 for a family to visit Billings Estate, and can range in price for special adult and children’s programs offered throughout the year.

Bytown Museum also offers a $15 family rate, and Cumberland Heritage Village Museum offers an $18 family admission. At the Diefenbunker, a family pass costs $40. To visit these four museums alone would cost a family $85 plus tax – which means the family Connexion Card offers an automatic $15 in savings.

The card also gives access to exclusive events, such as a snowshoe hike at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site in the winter, a kids’ ghost camp at Watson’s Mill this summer or a paddle of the Rideau River at Billings Estate.

The goal is that each museum will host an exclusive event for cardholders throughout the year, each with a different theme.

Rules for wood-burning furnaces

Food ‘n’ Stuff

EMC Lifestyle - When you hear of focaccia bread, you usually think of a bread topped with rosemary or caramelized onions. Savoury versions such as these are traditional with this popular flat bread.

Focaccia can also be made with sweet ingredients, however, for an entirely different flavour.

Experimenting one day, I decided to add freshly-grated orange rind and raisins directly to the dough while it was being mixed in the bread machine. Once the dough was shaped into a circle and ready for the oven, I brushed the top with olive oil, then sprinkled it with a bit of sugar. The focaccia smelled wonderful as it baked and tasted even better.

Focaccia bread is very easy to make using a bread machine to prepare the dough.

Orange Raisin Focaccia 3/4 cup water 2 tbsp. olive or vegetable oil 1 tbsp. sugar 1 tsp. salt 2 tbsp. finely-grated fresh orange peel 1/3 cup raisins 2 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp. bread machine yeast Topping 1-2 tbsp. extra light-tasting olive oil such as

Bertolli 2 tsp. white sugar Place all the ingredients (except the ones for the topping) into the bread machine in the order given. Select the Dough cycle, and start the machine.

When the dough is finished, turn it out on a lightly-floured surface, then pat it into a 12” circle.

Lightly oil a round pizza pan or a cookie sheet. Fold the dough circle in half as you would a pie crust. Transfer it to the pan, placing the dough so that it covers one half of the pan.

Unfold the dough to make the full circle.

Cover with a damp tea towel, and set aside to rise until doubled. Depending on the warmth of your kitchen, this can take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes.

With your finger or the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the dough. For the topping, lightly brush the surface of the dough with the 1-2 tbsp. of light olive oil, then sprinkle with the sugar.

Bake at 400F for 15 to 18 minutes, until the bread is a golden brown. Transfer the bread to a cake rack to cool slightly before serving.

Cut into wedges, and serve warm. This bread will keep fresh for 2-3 days wrapped in plastic, but the sugar topping will soften.

4th annual Slo-Pitch Tournament in Munster Special to the News

EMC sports - It’s destination Munster for 14 ball teams from across the city of Ottawa on the weekend of June 8-10. That’s when the fourth annual Slo-Pitch Tournament hosted by the Munster Co-operative Nursery School is being held.

But this weekend-long slo-pitch tournament features more than just action on the diamond.

There is a BBQ and beer garden, a closest ball contest and a Kidzone which runs on both Saturday, June 9 and Sunday, June 10 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The cost for the Kidzone is $3 per day or $5 for the weekend.

EMC news - Ottawa doesn’t have its new rules for woodburning furnaces quite right – yet.

That was the message from both owners of the heat-producing boilers and neighbours perturbed by the smoke the devices spew onto their properties. Approximately 20 people gathered at the Goulbourn town hall (the former Goulbourn municipal building) at Stanley’s Corners south of Stittsville on Wednesday, May 23 to hear about new zoning rules aimed at providing some regulation for outdoor wood burning boilers, also known as outdoor hydronic heaters.

The standalone devices are common means of heating homes – and sometimes pools – in rural areas and many municipalities have laws regulating when and where they can be placed – except Ottawa.

The issue was first brought to the attention of the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee by Carlsbad Springs resident Dan Renaud and Glen Roberts of Cumberland. The boilers are generally used in rural areas, but there is nothing stopping someone in Westboro or Vanier from putting one on their property.

Renaud and Roberts detailed their frustrations of having neighbour’s wood-burning boilers directly adjacent to their properties. If the stack isn’t tall enough and the boil-

er is close to a neighbouring home, heavy smoke can drift into a neighbour’s property.

In Renaud’s case, he says it has prevented him from working at his carpentry shop in the spring. For Roberts, the concern is health. His wife, Catherine, has a chronic cough and must use a puffer, which the couple attributes to the smoke coming from their neighbour’s wood-burning boiler.

With those considerations in mind, the city drafted new rules that would prevent people from putting a boiler on their property if it’s a small lot. The proposed rules also include provisions for how far away the unit must be from a neighbouring home and how tall the smoke stack must be.

But some residents at the May 23 meeting said the city missed the mark.

The setback distance is too large and would be impossible to achieve even on some larger lots, residents said, and the requirement to have a smoke stack higher than a neighbour’s roof could mean boiler owners might have to build a 12-metre-high stack in some cases. Those issues will be looked at when staff revise the proposed rules, said Derrick Moodie, a city staffer from the rural affairs office.

Mike Westley, who lives on Flewellyn Road, said the city shouldn’t need to regulate the boilers.

years and they wouldn’t put it in a spot to annoy neighbours,” he said. “That’s just the rural mentality.”

Jamie Johnston of Carp agreed, saying that it doesn’t make sense to regulate where people can put a wood-burning boiler if there are no restrictions on wood-burning heaters inside homes.

Others said the city is trying to regulate the wrong thing. Instead of saying where wood-burning boilers can go, the city should regulate the emissions and what kinds of materials can be burned.

Wilder said that would be difficult for the city to do because it’s not only expensive, it’s outside the city’s jurisdiction.

Roberts was frustrated that the proposed rules wouldn’t help his situation because it would only apply to new units, not those that are already installed.

“Unfortunately we can’t solve all the problems that exist, but it’s looking at preventing more problems in the future,” Moodie said.

Geraldine Wilder, another city planner working on the project advised that many people around Ontario have been successful in civil lawsuits regarding neighbours’ disruptive wood-burning boilers.

The proposed rules will go to the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee and then city council for approval.

Council size motion defeated Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A fight to shrink city council may not be over yet.

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, who committed to cutting council seats during the 2010 municipal election, said a 159 council vote doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spell the end of a movement to reduce how many wards represent the citizens of Ottawa.

Council voted against Mayor Jim Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to review the option of reducing the size of city council during a May 23 meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(There are) other ways in which a boundary review can be initiated,â&#x20AC;? Blais said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly a council vote isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only way,â&#x20AC;? he said, referring to a provision that kicks off a ward boundary review if a petition with 500 signatures is submitted to the city.

Blais had drafted a motion to kick off the ward review and was ready to give notice to council on May 23, but the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office requested he hold back, Blais said.

Bringing the proposal forward in a different way could have led to a different outcome, Blais said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we could have finessed the support,â&#x20AC;? Blais said.

That comment came after Mayor Jim Watson, who made a similar promise to cut costs by axing four to six seats from the 23-person city council, lost his hurried bid to look at that possibility.

City councillors voted 15-9 against getting options for a study looking at reducing the number of wards and city councillors in Ottawa, which the mayor said could save the city $2 million every year.

While a leaner council was alluded to

during the election, the mayor has stayed mostly mum on the idea until his monthly online â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ask Jimâ&#x20AC;? chat on May 17. After responding to a residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s question about his promise to reduce councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size, the idea picked up steam.

On Tuesday at 5:30 p.m., Watson sent a memo to councillors informing them that he would ask for councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rules to be waived the next day so councillors could discuss and vote on whether to study the possibility of reducing the number of city wards and councillors.

Watson said he knew the issue would be divisive and personal to councillors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit like when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asked to vote on your own salary,â&#x20AC;? Watson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit uncomfortable,â&#x20AC;? he added, asking councillors to â&#x20AC;&#x153;put that asideâ&#x20AC;? for the debate.

Councillors were concerned about the estimated $250,000 cost for the ward boundary review and said that there are more important issues facing the city right now, including the Lansdowne Park redevelopment and the upcoming lightrail transit system.

The 15 councillors who voted against the idea said residents are not clamoring for the change. Knoxdale-Merivale Coun.

Keith Egli said he has not received one call or email asking for the change, and the only comment he received in person was that reducing councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size is â&#x20AC;&#x153;easy and catches the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention, but it has no effect.â&#x20AC;?

Councillors agreed, saying any savings would be clawed back because councillors would require more staff to keep up with the increased workload, or there would be more pressure on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bureaucracy.

The functionality of city council de-

pends more on how well the councillors work together than their number, said West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see our staff time wasted on this review,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about rural, suburban and urban anymore â&#x20AC;Ś Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for us to work together.â&#x20AC;?

Going ahead with the review would have exacerbated that urban-suburbanrural divide, said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(It would) end up pitting councillors against councillors and neighbourhoods against each other,â&#x20AC;? Chernushenko said.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt, one of the most outspoken opponents to the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea, said shrinking council could reduce representation in the rural areas.

Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney worried about the impact on francophone language and culture promotion if there were fewer French school board trustees, since school board zones would be reduced as a result of limiting the number of city wards.

While Gloucester-Southgate Coun.

Diane Deans said her ward â&#x20AC;&#x153;could benefit with some tweaking around the edges,â&#x20AC;? she said that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worth $250,000, and certainly not when a review is already scheduled for 2015.

Even councillors who supported the idea during the election, including Bay Ward Coun. Mark Taylor, said the rushed way it was brought directly to city council turned him off the concept.

Taylor said he â&#x20AC;&#x153;notionally supportsâ&#x20AC;? the idea of making council leaner, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;not at this time and in this way,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a compelling reason to push the review up from 2015.

happening around Dear, oh, dear, Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the village of Richmond deer fence holes Special to the News

EMC news - The five foot high chain link deer fence running along the north side of highway 7 from Spruce Ridge Road to Dwyer Hill Road is being breached, not by deer but by suspected ATV riders.

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation has reported ongoing mischief problems regarding the chain link deer fence along this section of highway 7, particularly the area opposite Country Club

village.

The deer fence is persistently being cut open by unidentified culprits, suspected to be people cutting holes in the fence to gain access to the abutting forest and its hunt camps with their ATVs. One hole is located immediately opposite from the Canadian Golf and Country Club and is about 10 to 12 feet wide. A second hole is located closer to Upper Dwyer Hill Road.

Saturday and Sunday also mark the annual Doors Open Ottawa event which allows people to see and explore over 100 different buildings across Ottawa, including City Hall, Canadian War Museum, the Diefenbunker, Chateau Laurier as well as many of the Embassies and Ambassadorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residences. Rideau-Goulbourn features a few stops as well. The Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind has their national training centre on Rideau Valley Drive, just north of Manotick, and you can visit them on Saturday, from 10am to 4pm. Other Doors Open Ottawa locations include Manotick locations such Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill, Dickinson House, St. Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church, the Goulbourn Museum on Huntley Road and the City of Ottawa Archives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rideau Branch located in the heart of North Gower. In addition to the Archives being open, the North Gower Library will be celebrating Queen Elizabethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jubilee with books, activities for children, a cake and a toast at 11:30am featuring yours truly. I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll join me! For more information on Doors Open Ottawa, you can visit www.ottawa.ca/doorsopen.

Ovations show approval John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - A couple of standing ovations said it all at last Saturday’s annual concert presented by the Northern Stars Chorus.

And the ovations said it all not only about the Northern Stars Chorus and its a cappella barbershop style singing but also about the vocal offerings of the Storm Surge, the guest glee club group from South Carleton High School in Richmond.

The Northern Star Chorus not only showed what can be done in terms of range and harmony just with the human voice but also showed the over 100 in attendance that there is more to entertaining than just singing. Hence, the animated movements, the facial and body expressions, the ban-

ter between songs – they all combined to transform timeless harmonies into priceless moments of enjoyment. Well worthy of the standing ovation which followed the group’s final song in the concert.

And the Storm Surge, although a younger crowd, earned its standing ovation thanks not only for its singing but also for the choreography attached to a couple of the numbers and for the efforts of soloists like Griffin Hann, Julie Sproule, Tegan Macfarlane and Matt Chin.

The Northern Stars Chorus, taking to the stage in dark suits, white shirts and ties at 7 p.m. at the Bells Corners United Church, made sure that the concert lived up to its title – “Everything old – is new again!”

Starting off with a medley

of old songs such as “Everything Old is New Again” and “In the Good Old Summer Time,” the Northern Stars Chorus presented a series of oldtime songs whose harmony and rhythmic stylings showed no dust or rust – they sounded as fresh and vibrant as the day that they were first recorded, be that in 1935 with “Lulu’s Back in Town” or in other bygone days with “Coney Island Baby” and “Down by the Old Mill Stream.”

The Northern Stars Chorus, which returned in white shirts and ties but without jackets and with suspenders showing in the second half of the show after the Storm Surge performance, continued to sing old songs like “It’s Only a Paper Moon” and “Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair.”

There was even some hu-

Performing as members of Storm Surge, the glee club of South Carleton High School in Richmond, guest performers at the concert of the Northern Stars Chorus at Bells Corners United Church last Saturday evening, May 26, are SCHS students Griffin Hann, left, playing the guitar, and Maggie Monette, right, playing the fiddle. mour, as when Chorus coMC Seymour Bellman told a joke and not just any joke but a specific barbershop singing rib-tingler.

How many barbershoppers are needed to change a light build, he asked, to which he also gave the answer: Five – one to change the light bulb and four to sing “How I missed that old light bulb of mine.” Well, at least it’s a joke that hits the spot for barbershoppers and it did achieve a few laughs and smiles from the audience on this particular night.

Besides the whole Northern Stars Chorus, the concert also featured songs by several quartets, formed from members of the overall Chorus. So you had the Lampshades, the Sound Parts, the Last Minute Guys, the Youngstars and the “Very Large Quartet” all singing in the concert.

The Northern Stars Chorus has been performing for over 23 years, with its members coming from across the National Capital Region with diverse musical backgrounds.

Barbershop singing, as practiced by the Northern Stars Chorus, involves four part, unaccompanied (no musical instruments) and closeharmony singing. The Chorus has four voice parts, ranging from the highest in tenor through lead and baritone to bass, the lowest. When all four parts of a song are sung together, they take on a resonance that is far greater than the sum of the song’s parts.

Members of the Northern Stars Chorus, a baker’s dozen of whom were at this concert, include tenors Vincent Caron, George Hendry, Stuart MacMartin and Hank Rydzik who hails from Stittsville; leads Bruce Alberry, Seymour Bellman, Matt Gregg and Peter Hall; bases Bill Hawken, Peter Joannou, Tom Pierce, Harry Qualman and Keith Lindsey who is from Munster; and baritones Mike MacMartin, Peter Maitland, Don Rivers and George Young.

The Storm Surge from South Carleton High School is composed of students, both male and female, who love to

sing, dance and perform. This spring the Storm Surge won the Ottawa Regional Glee Club competition, earning the right to attend the nation competition in Toronto.

Members of the Storm Surge, not all of whom were at the concert last Saturday evening, are Shannon Avery, Barbara Baker, Julie Cameron, Matt Chin, Kenzie Corson, Meghan Davidson, Emily Fry, Griffin Hann, Ben Linton, Tegan Macfarlane, Hannah Mackellar, Jacqueline Maisonneuve, Jenna KcKeown, Maggie Monette, Alyssa Powell, Meghan Rust, Cassidy Simpson, Julie Sproule, Brett Taylor and Chelsea Vineyard.

Directors of the group are SCHS teachers Jennifer Britton and Jamie McIntyre.

The Northern Star Chorus is always open to new members.

No previous choir or musical experience is required. For more information, call 613722-2834 or send an email to northernstarschorus@gmail. com. The Chorus’ website can be found at www.harmonize. com/northernstars
