EMC news – Break and enters are on the rise in the Metcalfe area according to the Ottawa Police, with thieves targeting yard and construc-tion equipment.

Between March and June, there have been eight break and enters in the 8th Line Road area, with incidents increas-ing as the weather improves, said community police offi cer Constable Nicole Gorham.

“People leave their sheds and garages open so it’s very accessible,” she said, noting that items like chainsaws, trimmers, lawn tractors and other yard equipment are the main targets.

There were two break-ins in March, three in April and four in May.

“It’s defi nitely on the rise,” Gorham said.

The thefts are occurring during the day, usually on a Saturday, and the suspects often knock on the door fi rst to confi rm no one is home. If someone answers, they ask vague questions about wheth-er the house is for sale, if the resident has seen their dog or something similar.

Gorham said anyone who has a visitor like this should report it.

“They don’t just have the wrong address,” she said.

While most break-ins were residential, one commercial theft took place at a construc-tion site on Suncrest Drive off Stagecoach Road, which Gor-ham said was likely one set of construction workers stealing from another.

“It’s a common theft. The site had a certain item that is a high-end item, and you have to know what that is. They

knew specifi cally what they were going for,” she said.

For residential properties, Gorham said residents should always lock up their sheds and garages, even if they are sim-ply going to the backyard or another part of the property. If you’re heading out for the weekend, make sure neigh-bours know you’re not expect-ing any visitors while you’re gone.

“It’s like neighbourhood watch. It’s neighbours look-ing out for neighbours. If you know they’re not moving or having a garage sale, at least get that information so we have something to go on,” she said, noting that thieves do monitor houses before they target them.

“A lot of people store their trailers on their properties and then on the weekend it’s gone.”

EMC news – Dickinson Square will come alive this summer after Dickinson House and Watson’s Mill re-ceived federal funding to hire more students than ever be-fore.

It’s Dickinson House that is making the difference this summer. Run by the Rideau Township Historical Society, it was approved for three full-time students for the fi rst time ever this summer, allowing the yellow heritage home in Manotick’s historic heart to be open during the week as well as on weekends.

According to society presi-dent Bill Tupper, the society decided it was time to so-licit more help and applied for funding from the Canada Summer Jobs and Young Can-ada Works programs.

With the help of Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, Dickinson House received funding for three full-time staff for 14 weeks this sea-son – one from Canada Sum-mer Jobs and two from Young Canada Works. For the fi rst time ever, the house will now be open to the public fi ve days a week, from Wednesday to Sunday.

“In that sense it’s a break-out year for us. We have been operating for the last fi ve years with Dickinson House open only on the weekends,” Tupper said, noting the cos-tumed students have already made a noticeable difference since they started in May.

“We’re now able to be open fi ve days a week and it’s re-lieved the pressure on volun-teers on the weekend. And it’s allowed us to get caught up on some research and housekeep-ing items as well,” Tupper said.

Poilievre announced on Wednesday, June 27 that about 90 university and col-

lege students will have jobs in the riding this summer be-cause of the Canada Summer Jobs program.

Watson’s Mill received $19,000 in funding for four of those positions, as well as more funding for three Young Cana-da Works positions. While the mill is used to getting student funding, even it had to sweat a bit this year. Mill manager Isabelle Geoffrion said it was down to the wire before they were approved this spring, which left her nervous before opening day on May 5.

“Pierre really pulled through for us this year. When he phoned just before season opening, I hadn’t heard back yet about any of the programs and I was really getting wor-ried. I was actually in the mid-dle of writing a plan B for my directors, that we might have to close the mill two days a week for the summer,” she said. “When Pierre phoned (to confi rm the funding) it caught me off guard, I was just so re-lieved.”

Poilievre said he has made it a priority to help organiza-tions like Watson’s Mill.

“I believe these (youth em-ployment) programs should serve primarily non-profi t organizations. These groups serve a valuable public interest and they don’t make money to do it, so some fi nancial sup-port...always helps,” he said.

Other organizations in the area that received funding for summer students include the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, the Metropolitan Bible Church and the Royal City Soccer Club.

In Dickinson Square, the students will be responsible for running special events, programs and day camps, as well as giving tours and inter-preting the stories of the mill and Dickinson House.

But first and foremost, their job is to bring the square to life.

“We’re working towards making this a living heritage site. You need people that are outside, visible to the public,” Geoffrion said. “If you only have one or two people they’re kind of stuck inside just doing the bare minimum to keep the doors open.”

Poilievre said having so many students in Dickinson Square is a positive situation for the en-tire village, because Watson’s Mill and Dickinson House can provide better programming, summer students can gain valu-able job experience and area businesses can benefit from the tourism that Dickinson Square attracts.

“As long as we keep it func-tioning, it’s good for retailers across the village,” he said.

Happy Birthday, CanadaFamilies gathered at the Metcalfe Town Hall on Thurs-day, June 28 to begin celebrating Canada’s birthday a few days early. The event was hosted by the Live and Learn Resource Centre as part of Rural Family Connec-tions non-profit organization. Crash the Clown and the Cow Guy entertained the crowd all morning, and kids enjoyed making Canada Day crafts, playing with goop and blowing bubbles in the courtyard outside the town hall. Ottawa Public Health was also there with healthy baby information, and the Ottawa Fire Services brought their fire truck for kids to explore.

EMC news – Manotick founder Moss Kent Dick-inson’s family headstone in Beechwood Cemetery has been restored to its former glory – at least, as close as possible.

The Rideau Township His-torical Society took on the task to restore Dickinson’s monument more than three years ago, and on Satur-day, June 30 the society and members of the community offi cially unveiled the newly repaired monument and a brand new boulder explaining Dickinson’s signifi cance.

Society member Brian Earl, who spearheaded the project,

said he was “really, really, re-ally happy” about how the re-stored monument turned out.

The tall limestone pillar that towers in the old section of Beechwood Cemetery had broken off in the middle years ago, with its ornate top resting face-down in the grass for an unknown number of years.

The entire monument had been twisted off-kilter on its base, and some names and dates were barely readable because of the grime and moss that had built up over the years.

Now the monument is clean and the pillar stands as tall as ever with its stone wreath of roses and ornate drapery re-stored as best as possible for

a historical artifact. A large boulder rests in

front of the monument near the road, with a bilingual plaque that tells the brief his-tory of Moss Kent Dickinson and his work in the area.

A smaller plaque lists the names and dates of the eight people buried in the family plot. This will preserve the in-formation that is slowly wear-ing off the sandstone inserts on the monument.

“Now at least we’ve got them permanently. That’s la-ser-etched granite, so that’s

not going away,” he said.Martel and Sons in Van-

kleek Hill did the work, and Earl said he couldn’t be hap-pier.

“They did everything we wanted,” he said. “I’m really pleased with the way it looks, I really am.”

The project cost $4,600, which was covered by the historical society, Dickinson Square Heritage Management Inc (DSHMI) and a $2,000 heritage grant from the City of Ottawa.

The family plot includes

Dickinson, his wife Elizabeth Trigge and his six children. In a bizarre twist of fate, none of Dickinson’s six children mar-ried, so he had no descendents to care for the family monu-ment once the last child died.

Earl said without descen-dents to take responsibility the monument fell into disrepair.

Since individual monu-ments are privately owned, the cemetery doesn’t have the authority to repair them without the family’s permis-sion, executive director Roger Boult said.

However in cases like the Dickinson monument, Boult said it’s possible to go ahead without permission.

“When there is no identi-fi able owner or no survivors, we could undertake the repairs ourselves if we had the funds to do so,” he said in March.

Now that it’s fi xed, Earl said the historical society can relax.

“Now we don’t have to do anything again for 100 years,” he laughed. The monument is located in section 22, lot 57 of the cemetery.

Emma JacksonBrian Earl admires the newly restored Dickinson family monument and a new boulder and plaque that now mark the site of Moss Kent Dickinson, founder of Manotick.

Powering the CityOver the course of the lat couple of years the Ottawa Carleton District School Board has been working with a number of area companies and provincial partners, including the Ontario Power Authority, to assess the District’s solar power potential and to identify and develop sites using school roof-tops. It is expected that these projects will generate revenues in the order of $500,000 per year over the next 20 years. I am excited that a number of schools in Zone 7 are involved in this innovative work, specifically Osgoode Township High School, Adrienne Clarkson Elementary School, Dunlop Public School, Robert Bateman Public School, Roberta Bondar Public School and Sawmill Creek Elementary School. When combined, they are expected to produce close to 560 kW of power.

Full-Day KindergartenThe OCDSB continues to move ahead with the roll-out of the Province of Ontario’s full-day kindergarten program. The following schools in Zone 7 will have the program in place for the 2012-13 school year – Adrienne Clarkson Elementary School and Robert Bateman Public School. In addition, work will also begin soon on Farley Mowat Public School (new kindergarten room), Osgoode Public School (new addition) and Sawmill Elementary School (new addition and two new kindergarten rooms) to ready these schools for the program in 2013-14, at a cost of $2.0 million. Roberta Bonder Public School is also scheduled to receive the program in September 2013.

Findlay Creek Elementary School Update

A steady pace wins the race! We continue to see progress on building a new elementary school in Findlay Creek. The OCDSB has identified a new elementary school in Findlay Creek as a capital priority as part of its 2012 submission to the Ministry of Education. In addition, planning staff have proposed undertaking the necessary work to identify a grade and program structure, as well as school boundary, for a new school if time allows in 2013 in preparation for a funding announcement from the Ontario government, which is critical now that the OCDSB has been informed by the Government of Canada that the lease for the school will not be renewed in 2017. The goal is to open a new school in Findlay Creek in the 2014-15 timeframe.

Interim Advisory Committee for Early Learning

As a result of a motion I brought forward to the Board of Trustees, the Board has approved the establishment of an Interim Advisory Committee for Early Learning. The committee’s mandate will be to provide advice to the Board on all issues pertaining to the extended day program and related early learning issues. I am also pleased that I have been appointed by the Board to represent the Board of Trustees on this Committee.

EMC news – A Grade 12 student is embarking on an adventure of a lifetime this July, with the hope of chang-ing her life and others.

Victoria Sandre will join 100 others in the Domini-can Republic for 10 days this July to build permanent, brick homes for families liv-ing in poverty in the village of Sosua near Puerto Plata.

The program is called Hero Holiday, run through the Live Different non-profi t group which strives to help young people become re-sponsible global citizens.

The Hero Holiday pro-gram sends groups to the Dominican, Haiti, Mexico and Thailand throughout the year to build houses, schools and children’s homes and bring stability to the com-munities they visit.

To take part, the nearly-17-year-old had to raise $2,500 to foot the bill of her travel costs, including her fl ight, hotel and food. Rais-ing that much money can be daunting for just one person, but Sandre took the chal-lenge in stride.

With the help of a family friend, she learned how to make simple but charming greeting cards using scrap-book materials like ribbons and stamps.

“They’re very simple, blank inside. I got the card-making bug. It was just so addicting,” she laughed.

She sold them at her church and to family and friends, and managed to raise $700. The rest of the $2,500 was solicited from family and friends who wanted to donate to her project.

Sandre said she was moved to try this program because it offers hands-on experience building the homes.

“On other trips you live with the families but you don’t actually build the homes. But I’m an active person, so I wanted to do something that I was active in other people’s lives,” she said.

It’s not the fi rst time San-dre’s taken it upon herself to help others.

As a runner, she has vol-unteered with a number of community and charity rac-es including Ottawa Race Weekend. She has been vol-unteering at Waupoos Farm rural vacation resort for low-income families for the past year. She is also involved in several choirs, and mentors the younger members.

However she expects the help she’ll give in the Do-

minican Republic will be on a whole new scale. Friends and neighbours who have vacationed near Sosua told her they marveled at the gap between poor locals and rich tourists.

“It’s kind of interesting how close it is to other re-sorts, resorts people vacation at, and yet there’s so much poverty which is right there,” she said. “It’s amazing how little these people have and how much they value what they have.”

Sandre is taking every op-portunity to do what she can to help while she’s down there from July 17 to 27. Al-ready she has collected bags of clothes, toys and other items to bring to the com-

munity. “I’m planning to go down

and leave with the clothes on my back,” she said.

While there, Sandre will build houses, play with the local children and interact with the families who will benefi t from her trip.

Of course, Sandre hopes she will benefi t, too.

Between travelling to the Caribbean for the fi rst time and living for two weeks with no one she knows, San-dre hopes it will be a life-changing adventure.

“I think it’s going to make my summer. I guess I’m ex-pecting it to change my life, and I’m hoping that it will. It’s stuff I like to do. I like helping others,” she said.

Emma JacksonVictoria Sandre will spend 10 days building houses in the Dominican Republic this July, as part of the Hero Holiday program. She raised much of her trip money through sell-ing homemade greeting cards.

EMC news - The pile of ash trees at the Trail Road landfi ll covers an area about the size of a football fi eld. And every day it gets taller and wider.

The trees are being cut down on city properties across Ottawa in an attempt to pre-vent the spread of the emer-ald ash borer, which kills ash trees.

One Manotick man is con-cerned that the pile of dead trees is going to become the epicentre of a borer infesta-tion, and the city will be re-sponsbile for the disaster.

“This is just the tip of the iceberg,” said Bert van Ingen, who has watched the pile get bigger and bigger as more ash is cut down. “One in four trees in eastern Ontario is ash.”

The pile at Trail Road be-gan about two years ago and is now at least 80 metres long and fi ve metres tall in places. Van Ingen said he’s worked in the tree management fi eld and that even though the ash trees at Trail Road have been cut down, the borers in the trees are still alive.

June is a peak period for the fl ying form of the borers to emerge from the trees and disperse to surrounding areas.

“They’ve been coming out for the last three weeks,” he

said of the fl ying borers.At risk are ash trees, which

make up an estimated 25 per cent of Ottawa’s urban and rural forests. City statistics show 18,000 hectares of rural forest cover – on both public and private land – is made up of ash.

In total, there are 75,000 ash trees on streets and in city-owned parks. Since the emer-ald ash borer was fi rst found in Ottawa in 2008, the number of ash trees has been reduced by the bugs and by cutting to prevent its spread.

ADVICE NOT TAKEN

The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources has advice for anyone dealing with ash borer infestations and the city appears to have disregarded those instructions.

The ministry’s website says “trees dead or dying from em-erald ash borer should be cut and burned, chipped.”

Van Ingen said it was a ter-rible idea to move the trees from where they were felled, as any movement will cer-tainly spread the bugs further afi eld.

He said south Nepean and nearby parts of the city are almost certainly going to see more borers because of the ash piling up at Trail Road.

If the trees had to be moved from where they were cut down, he wants to know why the city didn’t kill the bor-ers as soon as they arrived at Trail Road. He said the bor-ers don’t dig deep into trees, and are only found in the layer just below the bark called the cambium.

Removing the bark and the affected cambium layer for burning could have killed the borers, as could burning of the complete trees. Alter-nately, van Ingen said trees could have been fumigated or contained on arrival at the Trail Road.

“They’ve just done noth-ing,” he said.

FUMBLING

Heather Hamilton says dif-ferent levels of government “have fumbled their way through” the response to the ash borer problem.

Hamilton is the chairwom-an of the city’s forests and greenspace advisory commit-tee, which provides advice to city councillors.

“There has been big expan-sion of emerald ash borer and cutting this year,” she said. “The trees have been going to Trail (Road) for a couple of years but not in these quanti-ties (in previous years).

Hamilton said the forests and greenspace advisory com-mittee “had some qualms” about storing the cut trees to Trail Road. “We were con-cerned that it would help to spread the problem.”

A city map dated April 2012 shows a few spots around Trail Road where ash borers are lo-cated. Hamilton said there’s no way to know if the city’s pile of cut ash is the source of the local hotspots, “but it’s a

distinct possibility.”As the pile grows, the num-

ber of bugs likely grows too, making their spread more likely.

CUTTING DOWN THE PILE

The city is currently seek-ing proposals from private contractors to deal with the Trail Road ash pile.

Simply turning the wood into chips is one possibility,

but that would waste the in-terior of each tree, which is unaffected by the borers. Van Ingen placed the value of the current ash pile at roughly $7.5 million if it was cut into planks, but time is of the es-sence if the spread of the bor-ers is to be contained.

The city’s tree staff was not immediately available to provide details of any propos-als received so far from local businesses.

A no-swim advisory may ruin your plans to cool off during a hot summer day at one of Ottawa’s four City beaches, however these are issued to protect your health when there is poor water quality. Poor water quality means that the beach water contains a high level of bacteria that may increase a swimmer’s risk of developing skin, eye, ear, nose and throat infections. Ingestion of water with high levels of bacteria may cause health issues such as gastrointestinal illnesses.

Every day during the beach season, Ottawa Public Health samples water from Britannia, Westboro, Mooney’s Bay and Petrie Island beaches for the presence of E.coli bacteria. When elevated levels of E.coli are detected in the water, other organisms that can pose a risk to your health are likely present.

Ottawa’s Medical Officer of Health has the authority to issue a no-swim advisory. Beaches are most often closed due to bacteria levels over 200 E.coli per 100 mL of water tested, or over 100 E.coli per 100 mL of water tested for two or more consecutive days. A beach may also be closed because of floating debris, oil, scum, excessive weed (algae) growth, bad odours, and murky water.

The City of Ottawa land mass feeds three watersheds: the Rideau River, Mississippi River,

and South Nation River. A watershed is the land area feeding a river, including all the related lakes and streams. Protecting our watersheds requires support from communities all across Eastern Ontario. What happens in one part of the watershed affects other communities.

Some of the factors that can pollute a beach include:• Heavy rains causing increased runoff of

contaminants from land into the storm sewers, which flow directly in nearby streams and rivers. Heavy rains can also cause sewers to overflow into streams and rivers;

• E.coli bacteria present in the feces of pets, birds and other warm-blooded animals;

• High winds stirring up contaminated sediments;

• Calm waters holding contaminants close to shore;

• Boats discharging dirty water and sewage;• Low water levels; and• Defective septic systems at private residences,

resorts and camps.

Daily updates on the water quality of Ottawa beaches are available by calling the City at 3-1-1 or 613-580-6744 ext. 13219 or at ottawa.ca/health

Swim into summer with the help of Ottawa’s swim advisories

Unfortunately, as we age we lose much of the muscle mass we had in our twenties. In fact, by about age 70 to 80, seniors have lost 40-50% of the muscle mass and strength they had in their 20s. Less muscle mass makes every day things like lifting groceries, pushing lawnmowers, going up and down stairs and getting up from a chair harder to do.

As you get older, Strength training, also called resistance training or weight lifting, slows the loss of muscle, keeps you strong and helps make every day activities easier. Strength training means exercising your muscles against resistance or gravity. The more you repeat an exercise and the more weight you lift, the stronger your muscle becomes.

Research shows that strength training also helps to:· Reduce your risk of falls· Improve balance and posture· Promote healthier bones

How do you get started? If you would like to start working on your strength at home, call the Ottawa Public Health Information Line listed below for information about the Get Moving: Active Sitting DVD, available for a small fee. This 30 minute program is easy to follow, and comes with a user’s guide demonstrating exercises if you are not very active or have just started exercising. You can also borrow the DVD for free from your local library.

If you prefer to exercise in a gym, call 211 or visit ottawa.ca to find a local recreation center or City of Ottawa Senior’S Centre. Private health clubs also have these types of activities. If you are a gym member, ask about adding some strength training to your routine.

It does not matter where you do strength training, the key is to start doing some strength training.

Strength training for seniors

However you choose to spend time this summer, remember to keep

safety in mind – especially if those plans include time on the water.

The Canadian Safe Boat-ing Council has issued a no-tice calling on more of us to take more seriously the issue of personal fl otation devices (PFDs), better known as life preservers or life jackets.

Every few days each

summer – especially after weekends – there are sad sto-ries to be told about another Canadian losing their life to drowning. We’re a nation of rivers, lakes and streams, and so many of us love getting out on the water.

Too many of us – whether out for a day of fi shing, canoeing or pleasure boating – still choose to head out without either wearing a PFD or having the requisite number of life jackets on

board. The end result, as the organization outlines, can be tragic.

The question, of course, is why? Why do so many adults not wear this potentially life-saving gear?

Many likely feel they are strong enough swimmers to overcome any unforeseen situation. But whether it’s a strong undertow or the shock of hitting cold water causing what the council refers to as “gasp refl ex,” there’s really

no way of knowing how one will react once overboard.

If you still think life jackets have to be made out of bulky slabs of Styrofoam, you need to take a look at today’s store shelves.

The latest designs now on the market are lightweight and come in a range of styles and colours that should suit any fashion taste. They’re not much bulkier or heavier than a T-shirt.

There’s even a new infl at-

able design that can come with automatic infl ation that fi lls the PFD with air as soon as you hit the water.

Some boaters will still say a short trip doesn’t neces-sitate the bother of even plac-ing a PFD in the vessel. And yet statistics tell a different story.

There are close to 140 unnecessary drownings in Canada every year, according to the safe boating council. And roughly 80 per cent of

those recreational boaters who lose their life on the water weren’t wearing a life jacket.

A vast majority of parents make sure their toddlers and youngsters wear a PFD in the water. It’s time they set aside the excuses and lead by example by donning the gear as well.

Regardless of the situation, life jackets do save lives. As the council promotes: It’s Your Life...Preserve It.

Maybe the tide is turning against tall buildings. And maybe not.

Sure, the Ontario Municipal Board recently struck down a pro-

posal to build some in Westboro on a residen-tial street. That the proposed towers were more than twice the height for which the street was zoned might have had something to do with it, except that the argument hasn’t worked too well in the past. For that reason, it seems too early to celebrate. There is every indication the tide is in fact not turning against tall buildings.

We are reading almost every day about simi-larly oversized structures that are going ahead.

It used to be front-page news when this hap-pened. After all, this is a city in which, for the longest time, the Peace Tower was supposed to be the tallest building allowed. But now, it’s tower after tower, each taller than the last. Less than two weeks after the supposed victory over developers in Westboro, the newspapers carried, on inside pages, news of a 27-storey tower on Nepean Street and a 30-storey job on Preston. You can look down on the Peace Tower from both of them.

The public is mystifi ed, because the public can’t see what’s driving this. Does anybody like tall buildings? Is anybody, other than a developer, demanding more of them? Did any candidate for city council run on a platform of bringing more tall buildings to the city?

No, is the answer to that last one and yet city council seems to have all but given up when faced with yet another request to build something considerably taller than what we thought was allowed. Councillors are reduced

to arguing about which design has the prettier balconies, while the question of how tall the building is hangs in the air, undebated.

Other preposterous statements, such as the claim that new towers won’t cause increased traffi c and parking diffi culties go unchallenged. They fl y in the face of common sense, but com-mon sense somehow vanishes when planning-speak is the language of the day.

It is assumed, perhaps, that the develop-ers will win in the end, given the notoriously pro-developer record of the Ontario Municipal Board, to which any appeal would be directed. And even now, when the OMB has shown a willingness to take a contrary position, the skyline climbs mostly uncontested and the shadows lengthen across the neighborhoods.

The argument in favour of all this is familiar: we need more people living near the centre of the city to prevent urban sprawl and a larger infl ux of cars. The argument against is familiar too: the city is going back on a bargain it made with its residents and who’s to say that those new people living near the centre of the city won’t bring their cars anyway?

What we don’t want is to wind up like Toronto, where new condo towers pop up like dandelions and cars choke the streets. And don’t forget the construction period brings con-siderable inconvenience to the neighbourhood for many months at a time.

For the moment, opposition to higher rises is coming mostly from community groups, who lack fi nancial resources and whose credibility is usually under attack. It would be interesting to see the politicians take a larger role.

In the next election campaign, would any-body dare question the very idea of growth, the assumption we all seem to share that a city can never get too big? Would anybody run on a platform that says the city is big enough and our resources should be put into improving the lives of those who live here, rather than build-ing higher for those who don’t live here yet?

That would be something to see. It would spark a useful debate about what a city should be and for whom.

Onward and, inevitably, upward

Stay safe, stay alive on water this summer

Dear Editor:Thank you to EMC and

Metroland reporters for shin-ing a light on a very under-re-ported problem in Ontario: the pressure parents are feeling to fund raise for everything from crayons to playground equip-ment.

There isn’t a week that goes by where parents aren’t asked to contribute to this school cause or that, without regard to whether they are able to af-

ford these expenses. Add school trips into the

equation, competitions for fundraising dollars between schools, and we have a situ-ation requiring the kind of investigative work EMC and Metroland has done.

I hope your report lights a fi re under the Ontario govern-ment.

EMC news - Creating a link to connect Canada from coast to coast.

Organizing a nationwide chorus of O Canada.

Offering immigrants the chance to tell their Canadian stories.

These were just some of the ideas that Ottawa residents tossed around at a public con-sultation at the Lord Elgin Ho-tel on June 25 to discuss what Canada’s 150th birthday cel-ebration should look like. The consultation exercise is part of a cross-country tour organized by the Canadian Capital Cities Organization.

Lee Ellen Pottie, who works for the organization, was part of the group that visited Ot-tawa on June 25 to seek input from interested residents.

“We want to bring out Ca-nadians’ sense of belonging and sense of ownership and get them excited about the upcoming celebrations,” she said.

The consultation asked par-ticipants to answer six ques-tions: how should we celebrate Canada Day 2017; what major events can be created to mark the 150th anniversary; what type of memorial infrastruc-ture or projects would people like to see; what unifying themes could be employed; how can all Canadian across the country take part; and how can the year 2017 and the years leading up to 2017 encourage greater Canadian participation.

The evening turned into a brainstorming session with ideas ranging from legacy projects to neighbourhood parties to museum participat-ing and creating a logging

tournament. Danielle Jeddore was

among those who attended the consultation.

“I came out because I work for Aboriginal Affairs and I am interested in adding the Aboriginal perspective to the consultations,” she said.

That sort of perspective was exactly what Pottie was looking for.

“Get people talking and bring up ideas you would not have thought about,” Pottie said.

Jeddore and other residents from across the city partici-pated after receiving an invi-tation through the National Capital Commission, which is a member of the Canadian Capital Cities Organization.

Beyond the series public meetings taking place at pro-vincial and territorial capitals across the country, the organi-zation has also set up an on-line survey Canadians to fi ll out on its website.

“We wanted to have some-thing that everyone could do, even if they do not participate in the public consultations, we are still taking down their con-siderations,” Pottie said.

Information gathered from the consultation sessions and online survey will be used to draft a report, which will be completed in the fall.

Manotick EMC - Thursday, July 5, 2012 11 R0011462341


EMC entertainment – The lights are bright and the crowd is loud. Backstage, excite-ment builds as the cue to run on stage creeps closer.

“Stand by, stand by,” a roadie says.

Excited squeals and muf-fled laughter fills the dark al-leyway hidden by curtains. And then:

“Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!”Spurred into action, 15 high

school students burst onto the Scotiabank Place stage to ful-fill their fives minutes of fame with Roger Waters, the found-er of progressive 1960s rock band Pink Floyd.

Clapping and singing, wearing t-shirts that read “Fear Builds Walls,” the St. Mark High School students were the choir in Waters’ per-formance of “Another Brick in the Wall,” one of Pink Floyd’s most well-known songs.

The opportunity comes from Waters’ global tour called The Wall, in which he performs the entire album of the same name with much theatrics, staging and pyro-technics.

In every city, the tour pro-moters invite a local school to perform the choir parts with Waters on stage.

When Live Nation promot-er Ken Craig approached St. Mark music teacher Gabriel Leury about the opportunity, “I couldn’t pass it up,” he said.

“I just think it’s a great op-

portunity for the students to have. A large-scale production opportunity doesn’t come by very often,” Leury said, add-ing that the experience will also help profile the school and possibly lead to other op-portunities down the road.

For the students, who ranged in age from Grade 8 to Grade 12, the experience was nothing short of life-chang-ing.

“You just take a chance and audition for it and a couple weeks later you’re standing on a stage singing in front of 15,000 people,” said Grade 8 student Kelsey Ewen.

“It’s one of the best feel-ings. You’re never going to feel that way and you’re never going to be so excited to be doing something like that,” added Caroline O’Neill, a Grade 12 student who gradu-ated a few days after the con-cert on Monday, July 25. “It was the last thing I did as a St. Mark Lion. What an amazing way to end six years of high school.”

Participating students de-scribed the experience as “unbelievable” and “amaz-ing.” Not only did they get to perform with Waters on stage, they also got some personal practice time with him before the concert as well.

“When we went to sound check we practiced with Rog-er and his band and we only ran through it twice because we were pretty good, appar-ently,” laughed Leith Ross, a Grade 8 student who admitted

she caught the performing bug after five minutes with such a huge crowd.

Leury affirmed Ross’s sus-picion that the choir was ex-ceptional compared to choirs in other cities.

“The people involved with the show came and said the students were well-prepared and one of the best groups they’ve seen,” he said.

The song protests against rigid school policies and was against UK boarding schools in particular when it was writ-ten in 1979.

As part of the tour, a tow-ering 60-foot puppet of a teacher with glowing eyes – a creature the students called “horrifying” – leers over the stage during the song’s per-formance.

Despite the seemingly anti-teacher tone of the song, St. Mark teacher J.P. Cloutier, who was taking photos on stage, said the song is not against education, but against oppression.

“It’s about the type of edu-cation that oppresses students and doesn’t let them reach their full potential, and that’s not what we’re about here,” he said.

For the 15 students, the op-portunity to face the world on stage brought them all a step closer to realizing their own potential.

At the very least, the mem-ory will never fade.

“It will be on YouTube so we can go back and show our grandchildren,” Ross laughed.

EMC news - The local Ride for Dad Watercraft Edition has partnered with the Ottawa Police to help raise awareness and support for prostate can-cer.

This year, Eastern Ontario will join the already estab-lished Ride for Dad Water-craft Edition in Windsor, Ont. The event will take place at Rideau Ferry and will wel-come participants from across the region as well as members of the city’s police force who will hit the water in various watercraft vehicles on July 7.

“It is all about raising awareness for prostate can-cer,” said Brian Ivay, execu-tive director of the Ride for Dad Watercraft Edition. “This is the transition from motorcy-cles to watercraft and the next generation of Ottawa police’s involvement in the Ride for Dad.”

The Ride for Dad event, which took place on June 2, began in Ottawa in 2000, with only 80 participants.

The event has since ex-panded to 30 communities across Canada and has raised more than $9 million for pros-tate cancer research and treat-ment.

The watercraft edition be-gan in Windsor in 2011 as an addition to the motorcycle ride. Ivay said it was at the last Ottawa Boat Show where he

began speaking to area busi-nesses and the police about the possibility of starting up an Eastern Ontario watercraft edition.

“Everyone was really into the idea and from there it just took off,” Ivay said. “We have had a lot of support from Ride for Dad to get this going.”

The watercraft ride is open to all jet-powered watercraft, including personal watercraft vehicles like Sea-Doos (stand-up and sit-down models) and jet boats.

The ride will depart Rideau Ferry and continue to Nar-rows Lock and then continue heading to Westport on Upper Rideau Lake.

Then it’s back to the lock at Newboro and then head-ing back to Narrows Lock and then back onto Big Rideau Lake. All lock fees are includ-ed in registration.

The ride will then cross to Portland and loop back to Rideau Ferry.

The round trip is expected to take about four to five hours with a total distance of 70 ki-lometres.

Interested participants can pre-register for the Watercraft Ride for Dad online at www.ridefordad.ca or come out on ride day.

The ride begins at 11 a.m. with closing ceremonies and a party will take place at Far-rell Hall in Perth beginning at 5 p.m.

Michelle NashConstable Peter McKenna of the Ottawa Police Service’s traffic escort unit and marine drive trails unit and execu-tives from Ride for Dad Watercraft Edition show off what their watercraft vehicles really can do on June 26. The event was organized by the two partners to help raise awareness for the Eastern Ontario Ride, which will take place on July 7 at Rideau Ferry.

EMC sports - Ottawa’s first urban fish festival will encourage everyone, anglers and non-anglers alike, to have a great time casting their rods at Brewer Park.

The Ottawa Fishing Festival will take place on July 14 and 15 during Ontario’s license-free family fishing week.

The festival was created and organized by Manotick resident Dr. Ben Fong, who wanted to share his love for fishing with the rest of the city.

“I used to do a lot of fishing and when I purchased home on the water, I began fishing four times a week,” Fong said. “This festival, it is all about introducing fishing to urban dwellers in Ottawa.”

The festival, Fong said, will also offer the opportunity for children, who normally do not have the chance to learn how to fish, to try out the sport.

Fong, a dentist by day, chose the Old Ottawa South location because the park runs along the Rideau River, but also has a ton of parkland for all the other, non-fishing ac-tivities he has planned.

There will be inflatable castles, a magician, music from Elvis impersonator Dan Elvis Burgess, mariachi band Los Paisanos, dance groups, cooking segments and lec-tures, fish games and martial arts demonstrations.

For fishing enthusiasts, there will also be appearances and seminars throughou the weekend with Canadian fish-ing personalities “Big” Jim McLaughlin, Rob Atkinson and Captain Pat.

Fishing rod rentals and live bait will be provided for any-one who wishes to try out fish-ing, which Fong encourages everyone to give a try.

“Fishing is really enjoyable sport, because it is a one-on-one sport and you get to have the chance to catch a big fish on the line,” Fong said.

And there will be one fish in particular everyone at the festival will be keeping their eye out for.

Participants will have the chance of catching a tagged “big fish” that will allows them to collect the festival’s top prize of a $15,000 pon-toon boat, donated by Lauren-tian Marine Sales.

The big fish, along with 20 or smaller fish for the chil-dren to catch will be tagged and released the night before the festival upstream from the park. Each fish has a prize at-tached to it.

Fong will be personally catching the fish leading up to the festival, so the fish they are releasing are in familiar water.

The festival is promoting catch and release, but Fong

said once someone has caught a fish it is up to them what they would like to do with it.

“Take it home or toss it back, it is all part of the fun,” Fong said.

The festival is also raising money for CHEO’s Angles of Hope, with 10 per cent of every ticket purchase being donated to the cancer founda-tion.

“I think they are doing a great thing and regardless of how much we make they will get a 10 per cent (cut) auto-matically,” Fong said.

The first festival he has ever organized, Fong said it is all about having fun and the more tickets he sells, the more attractions he will add to the weekend.

Fong has also donated more than $500 worth of tickets to the Ottawa Boys and Girls Club, to get more children to fall in love with his passion.

“It is all about kids. It might be an old cliché, but it is what it is about,” Fong said. “There are kids that don’t have the opportunity so let’s bring them out and give them that opportunity.”

Fong said it is the least he can do to support the chil-dren’s organization and wel-comes any other children or-ganizations to contact him for tickets.

Ticket prices are $10 for children 6 to 11, teen to adult are $15 and a family pass is $45. Children five and under

are free. For more information on

the festival, to volunteer or to purchase tickets, please check out the festival’s website at www.ottawafishingfestival.ca.

Submitted Dr. Ben Fong, a Manotick resident, picked up a fish-ing rod 35 years after he last put one down as a child. Now he’s in love again with the water sport. Fong, who is organizing Ottawa’s first fishing festi-val on July 14 and 15, wants to ignite the love for fishing in all Ottawa residents this summer and encourages everyone to come out to the festival.

EMC news – The 12th an-nual Metcalfe Charity Classic golf tournament was sold out weeks in advance of the July 11 tee-off, and that means the event could raise more than $7,000 for the Osgoode Township Care Centre.

With 136 golfers registered to play at the Metcalfe Golf Club, $2,720 is automatically raised through a $20 donation in the registration fee.

But the other thousands

come from the day’s silent auction, hole sponsorships and other contests.

Metcalfe Golf Club general manager Rob Howell said it’s important to the club to sup-port the local nursing home, because it’s where many local residents live during their se-nior years.

“A lot of residents from this area now reside at the centre. It’s very much a part of our community, it’s just down the road and it helps a lot of people.

“It’s a great facility, the people who work there are very community-minded,” Howell said.

Last year’s donation was designated to help replace the 25-year-old building’s win-dows.

This year’s funds haven’t been designated yet, but How-ell hopes the money will be used for patient care.

“They convinced us last year to do the windows be-cause there was a big need, but this year we’re hoping to

steer it back to something that directly benefi ts the patients,” he said.

In previous years the tour-nament’s money has been used to create a “snoozelin room” for patients with de-mentia, Alzheimer’s and anxi-ety, and to provide supplies for various patient recreation programs. The Osgoode Care Centre, located on Snake Is-land Road just west of Bank Street, was built 25 years ago through community fundrais-ing.

The tournament begins at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, July

11 with a shotgun start, and includes a roast beef dinner, putting contests and other ac-

tivities. Prizes for the silent auc-

tion include Ottawa Senators tickets, access to the Molson hockey house at Cornerstone Bar in the Byward Market, several Adirondack chairs, golf bags, a bar fridge and golf passes for courses across the city.

Howell said sponsorships and prize donations are still welcome. For more informa-tion call 613-821-3673.

Poor farmer indeed who can’t feed his familyFrom now until

the crisp fall days fi lled the air with the scent of

burning leaves, our house smelled of simmering sugar and tart vinegar coming off the Findlay Oval. It was pickling and preserving time. And the smells hung onto our clothes for days as if we had been sprayed and we would notice just about everyone at Northcote School smelled the same way.

The huge vegetable garden would fi nally show the results of Mother’s constant attention and yellow beans, carrots, beets, cucumbers, blood-red tomatoes and just about any other vegetable you could name were all ready for pick-ing. As well, wild strawber-ries, mostly found along the Canadian Pacifi c Railway tracks that snaked through our farm, would already have been turned into jam. Rasp-berries, found growing in great abundance in a secluded spot in the dense woods on the property, were hauled out in milk cans and now sat in jars and sealers of every description.

The jams were thick and sweet, but the preserves were a different matter. They were sweet too, but the berries

always fl oated to the top of the jars, leaving thick, sweet syrup on the bottom, which I was known to drink right out of the jar when Mother wasn’t looking. Every glass jar that had come into the house over the past months would be saved for this time of year. Washed thoroughly, then boiled in the big copper kettle on the stove, they were of every shape and size.

And always there was a small pot of wax on the very back of the stove, usually on the reservoir, ready to pour over the jars holding the jams and pickles. It was unusual if Mother had to buy new wax every year, because since the last pickling and preserv-ing session when the wax was removed from a jar, it was rinsed off and put in a cardboard box in the summer kitchen and reused time and again. Goodness knows how many years the same piece of wax had made the rounds,

melted down again and again.Last year’s crop of pre-

serves and pickles, stacked on a swinging shelf in what passed for a cellar, had got-ten low. Fresh sheets of the Renfrew Mercury would be folded and placed on the shelves, ready for the new batches of jars and sealers.

What we called the cellar wasn’t really a cellar at all. While most of our neighbours had a dug-out you got to from a trap door in their kitchen, you could only get into ours from outside the house. Two big fl at doors, on a slant from the ground to the side of the house, had to be hoisted and laid back to get down into our cellar, which was nothing more than a sandy pit an an-cestor of Father’s had dug out a century before. A swinging shelf was above the sand, and attached to the fl oorboards of the underside of the house. It was a dark, dank place that scared the starch out of me every time I was sent down. Vegetables were buried in the sand and my brother Emerson further fl amed my fears by telling me he knew for a fact it was where snakes spent the long cold winters!

Mother’s recipes were ones she was given by Aunt Bertha Thom from the farm next to us or Mrs. Beam the wonderful neighbour, who as well as treating everyone

in the Northcote area for minor affl ictions, was also known for her dill pickles and spiced crabapples, both of which always won prizes at the Renfrew fair. Mother had come from New York where pickles, jams and jellies were bought at the grocery store and “doing down” vegetables and fruits was as foreign to her as making homemade lye soap, all of which she mastered with the help of neighbours. It didn’t take her long to catch on to harvesting the garden either.

There was scarcely a meal back then that didn’t have Father’s favourite pickles in a bowl on the table. He said no dinner was complete without chili sauce or yellow beans done in brine. Mother could serve up turnips, potatoes and even a bowl of sauerkraut, but Father always asked; “Got any of that chili sauce and those yellow beans?” My sister Audrey would jump up and dump out a good portion of each and put it on the table. Back then, the Depres-sion was all around us. There was no money for frivolity. We learned not to ask for something as simple as new hair ribbons or store-bought underwear or a toy we may have seen in the Five and Dime Store in Renfrew. We were barely able to buy coal oil for the lamps or a needed piece of harness or gas for the old Model T. But our table was always full. Vegetables, preserves, sauerkraut and an apple barrel in the summer kitchen and a smoke house full of meat ... and I heard it said more than once, “it’s a poor farmer indeed who can-not feed his family.”

This raspberry-fla-voured chocolate cake makes a simple and deli-

cious dessert for a summer supper or party.

The fudge cake can be made a day ahead, then sliced and arranged on individual serving plates. Arrange some fresh raspberries beside each piece then add a scoop of frozen vanilla yogurt or ice cream. This is light and refreshing.

This recipe calls for raspberry pancake syrup. Be sure you get what is labelled as “pancake syrup.” There are other types of raspberry syrup, which are very thin and meant for mixing with water or summer drinks. They just don’t work in this recipe, and neither does raspberry jam. I’ve tried them both. Only raspberry pancake syrup will do.

ChoColate RaspbeRRY Cake

4 squares semi-sweet bak-ing chocolate

2 tbsp. white sugar1/2 cup raspberry pancake

syrup1/2 cup butter or block

margarine, softened enough at room temperature to mix easily

1 1/4 cups white sugar

3 eggs1 2/3 cups flour1 1/2 tsp. baking powder1/4 tsp. salt1/3 cup milk

Butter and flour a 20-centi-metre cake pan.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate, raspberry syrup and two tablespoons of sugar.

Microwave on high for one minute, stir and then mi-crowave on high for another minute. The mixture will be hot enough to finish melting the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has completely melted, then set aside to cool to room temperature.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter, or margarine, with the white sugar.

Add the eggs, one a time, and beat until thoroughly combined.

In a medium bowl, com-bine the flour, baking powder and salt.

Add about one-third of the flour to the creamed egg

mixture. Using the electric mixer, beat until the flour is completely incorporated. Add about two tablespoons of the milk, and mix again until well combined.

Continue adding the flour and milk alternately to the batter, beating well after each addition. Occasionally, scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Add the chocolate and raspberry syrup mixture to the batter. With a spatula or long-handled spoon, stir this into the batter until there are no streaks of white or chocolate.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake at 350 F (175 C) for 55 to 60 minutes.

Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out sticky, bake for another five to 10 minutes, then check again.

When the cake is done, remove it from the oven. Set the pan on a wire rack, and cool completely before serving.

Ontario school boards are implementing new policies on fundraising as this school year ends, under a requirement that they incorporate the prov-ince’s new “best practices” by September.

The issue came to wide public attention with the pub-lication of Fundraising Fever, a Metroland Special Report, which focused on growing concern about the overuse of fundraising and the disparities it creates.

The Ottawa-Carleton Dis-trict School Board is updat-ing its fundraising policy to match the new guidelines said Walter Piovesan, the board’s associate director of education.

He added the new policy would be available by the end of June or the beginning of September for consultation.

It will be up to the princi-pal of each school to ensure fundraising is conducted within the new rules.

“It’s the principal who en-forces the policy and works

with the school councils or whoever is doing the fund-raising to make sure the pol-icy is being followed,” Pio-vesan said.

The Ottawa Catholic School Board is already “mostly compliant” with the new ministry guidelines said spokesperson Mardi de Kemp.

“The new requirements are being reviewed and the cur-rent policies will be modifi ed over the summer so that the board will be fully compliant by the fall,” said de Kemp.

PROBLEMS

Annie Kidder of People for Education, a parent-led advo-cacy group, says the reaction her group is getting to Fund-raising Fever underscores the problems that fundraising creates.

“So many people have for-warded it and talked about it as a never-ending issue,” Kidder said.

“We don’t think the fund-raising guidelines are strong enough.”

The guidelines say fund-

raising should not duplicate existing funding – for ex-ample the ministry provides schools with money for text-books and learning materials so raising funds to buy more is not permitted.

Kidder says the key to eq-uitable education is to make sure it’s funded so everyone gets a good education; one that does not depend on fund-raising.

“The problem with think-ing of education as a charity rather than as something we pay for through our taxes is

that it changes how we think. It entrenches fundraising as something we assume has to be there.”

Kidder says, “all fundrais-ing isn’t bad, but there has to be a line.”

“I think the system has come to assume that where possible, parents will kind of take up the slack, or that parents will augment school budgets. It’s a really worry-ing assumption.”

New fundraising policies for Ontario schools

Hookahs banned in Ottawa city parksLaura [email protected]

EMC news - Water pipes and other smoking imple-ments are now banned from city properties, including parks and beaches.

The move is an addition to the recent expansion of the city’s Smoke-Free Ottawa bylaw, which bans cigarette smoking on city property.

The increasing popularity of water pipes, also known as hookahs or shisha, led the city’s health board and council to direct Ottawa Public Health to draft a way to ban the de-vices on public sites.

While the tobacco ban ap-plies to restaurant and bar patios, the non-tobacco smok-ing ban does not extend to businesses that offer hookah smoking on their patios.

Although shisha can con-tain tobacco, for the most part it is composed of herbal substances. Still, the smoke from the heated material can

irritate the eyes, noses and throats of passersby, accord-ing to a public health report.Council passed the bylaw on June 27.

It means that carrying any “lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe, or any other lighted or heated smoking equipment used to smoke any tobacco or non-tobacco substance” is not al-lowed on city-owned proper-ties.

That means the ban also includes drugs such as mari-juana.

The city report identifi es two grounds under which the new bylaw could be contested in court: someone could claim that water-pipe use should be allowed for cultural reasons (it’s a popular pastime in the Middle East) and medical marijuana users could argue that it violates their rights under the Federal Marihuana Medical Access Regulations, part of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

EMC news - A downtown social service centre is reach-ing out to the surrounding community to help send more than 50 under-privileged chil-dren to a theme park this sum-mer.

Odette Uwambaye from the Rwanda Social Services and Family Counselling centre started the initiative two years ago, with the goal of ensuring all children have the opportu-nity to take a trip to a theme park. This year, the destina-tion is Marineland in Niagara Falls, Ont.

“When school starts in

the fall, all the kids are talk-ing about their summer trips and travels,” Uwambaye said. “There are those kids who have no where to go and no stories to tell. I want to give them a fun time and a story to tell.”

Uwambaye is using the fundraising campaign to give the children the opportunity to not only visit Marineland, but also the chance to camp at a community centre in Toronto along the way.

There are families who can not afford to go anywhere and can sometimes only send their children to the community centre, Uwambaye added.

“That is not the same thing as going to a park or going on an adventure,” Uwambaye said, so she sought help from the community and raised money to organize the day trips to Parc Gérard-Lalonde and Parc Safari in Quebec.

While the cost of the previ-ous trips was between $3,000 and $4,000, a more elaborate trip to Marineland with the campout in Toronto has driven the cost slightly higher.

“If we can raise $5,000 to $6,000 we will be able to send them,” Uwambaye said.

The cost of transportation is more than double what the organization has raised in the

past because of the longer trip. If they can not raise enough money, Uwambaye said they have an alternative plan to send the children to Calypso Theme Waterpark a half-hour from Ottawa.

“It is our plan B,” Uwam-baye said. “But we would love to send them all to Marine-land. It is not that easy, but if the kids can have that oppor-tunity, it would be great for them.”

To donate or for more information go to the orga-nization’s website at www.rwandasocialservices.org, or call 613-565-7500 or at 613-298-2256.

Organization aims to send under-privileged kids for a day of fun

Michelle NashUmutoniwase Florence and Shingiroryintane Matiasse are hoping to go on a trip to Marineland this summer.

EMC community - An Ot-tawa coalition wants to make sure the overall issue of vio-lence against women in Cana-da isn’t ignored.

Along with launching a new website, the Ottawa Coali-tion to End Violence Against Women will now be produc-ing position papers throughout the year on a variety of topics for the community’s interest.

“We’re building our capac-ity, making connections, and we’re really excited about these movements,” said Ste-fanie Lomatski, executive di-rector of the coalition. “(Hav-ing these) position papers are a way to be more cohesive.”

The first position paper launched on June 28 dealt with how violence against women has been portrayed in the media, particularly when it comes to honour killings.

“The assumed cultural na-ture of the case spread like wildfire,” said Corrine Mason, a PhD student from the Uni-versity of Ottawa, who studied how the recent Shafia murder trial was covered by two daily newspapers. Mason’s research forms the basis of coalition’s position that the way the trial was presented in the media was that violence against women in Canada became “ordinary” and honour kill-

ings became “extraordinary.”Mason concluded through

her study of the Shafia trial that there were implications Canada was superior to the “Muslim world” regarding violence against women.

She said that’s simply not true, however. Citing Statis-tics Canada reports, she said of the 146 women killed in homicides in 2008, 45 were murdered by their spouse or domestic partner. Between 2007 and 2008, more than 61,600 women sought abuse shelters.

She added that according to the Native Women’s Asso-ciation of Canada, there are 583 missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls in the country.

“Honour killings (were por-trayed as) a misogynist cul-ture, committed by Muslims against Muslim women and

children, and it was carefully planned,” she said. “Domestic violence by contrast (was por-trayed as) individual men who were a few bad apples, non-Muslim, and women were not killed for transgressing cul-tural boundaries.”

The coalition said they’d like to work with media to come up with a collaborative project to help both parties get the message out.

Jordan Fairbairn who cov-ers public engagement for the coalition, said the Rhode Island Coalition Against Do-mestic Violence worked suc-cessfully with journalists to create a hand book on report-ing violence against women stories. “This is a model to work off of in Canada,” said Fairbairn.
