EMC news - The cost to the city of redeveloping Lans-downe Park has risen by $12 million, but consultants are busy fi nding ways to defray the costs.

A report released on Sept. 25 advises city council to move forward with the plan and pro-vides and updated snapshot of the costs, revenue and the re-tail mix.

The additional cost includes $3.3 million for the $74.9 mil-lion stadium, an extra $5.6 million to build a 1,370-space parking garage and $3.1 mil-lion for the offi ce, residential, and public components.

Eighteen months of delays caused by a rigorous design process and legal challenges brought by the Friends of Lansdowne and the Lansd-owne Park Conservancy have put an additional $8.2 million budget pressure on the project.

The list of confi rmed mer-chants (Empire Cinemas, Whole Foods and LCBO) coming to Lansdowne remains at three, but consultants say leases for 73 per cent of the re-tail space are very close to be-ing signed, which is the norm for a development at this stage, according to the city report.

That didn’t sit well with Capital Coun. David Cher-nushenko, who said he is still not comfortable with the mes-sages he has received on retail at Lansdowne.

EMC news - A new build-ing at the University of Ottawa will shed some positive light on research in the capital.

Construction on the $57-million Advanced Research Complex building began in July. On Sept. 25, the univer-sity held its offi cial ground-breaking ceremony for the building to celebrate and pro-mote all the new opportunities

the science and engineering complex will bring to the city.

The building will have a strong focus on photonics, which is the study of light. Mona Nemer, vice-president of research at the university, and her colleagues have been discussing the need for a pho-tonics research facility since 2009. Once completed, Nemer said the building would ben-efi t not only the university, but for the city and rest of the country as well.

“Many people ask me why photonics,” she said. “But I say why not photonics? It is almost like, we have to study it, why not study it well.”

Nemer added that the re-search facility will likely at-tract people from around the world wanting to study pho-tonics.

Both the federal and pro-vincial governments have matched funding for the uni-versity to build and purchase equipment for the building as well as create new scholarship awards and research project opportunities. Minister of

state for science and technol-ogy Gary Goodyear attended the ceremony on behalf of the federal government.

“This facility will train the next generation of research-ers,” Goodyear said. “We do expect a lot (from the re-searchers) but we know, with this building you can deliver.”

The federal government contributed $5.5 million to-ward the construction of the Advanced Research Complex and $7.2 million for equip-ment.

EMC news - After a 17-year hiatus, community-published news is back in Overbrook.

The Overbrook News, an Overbrook Community As-sociation initiative, had 4,000 papers published of its inau-gural September issue.

Spearheaded by associa-tion board members Wendy Dennys and Martine Joly, the two women took a newsletter and turned it into a 16-page broadsheet newspaper.

Looking at their fi rst at-tempt at building a newspa-per, both are thrilled with the fi nished product.

“On a scale of one to 10, I would give this paper a 10.5,” Dennys said.

Joly agreed: “Seeing the fi -nal product has been the best part for me.”

Dennys credited the rebirth of the paper to a community partnership with the Commu-nity Development Framework, a non-profi t organization which focuses on community initiatives and projects. The organization gave the associa-tion $2,000 to help fund the paper’s production.

The rest of the funding came through advertising with local businesses.

Dennys said one of the original papers from 17 years

ago featured some of the same advertisers.

“It is great to see everyone come back together,” Dennys said.

The Overbrook-Forbes Community Resource Centre

and the Overbrook Communi-ty Centre, which has a spread promoting the centre’s recre-ational activities, also contrib-uted to the inaugural edition.

Association president Shei-la Perry said it was wonderful

to see the entire community work together on the project.

Dennys estimated 250 hours of volunteer work was put into the creation of the fi rst issue.

In an attempt to gain inter-

est and help from residents, Dennys and Joly sent out an email to the community seek-ing sales representatives, col-umnists and reporters.

The paper has a heritage, cycling and community col-

umnist, all of who will feature regularly, the editors said.

Residents who had helped with the association’s news-letter helped track down ad-vertisers.

The association will print the paper three times a year - in September, March and June/July.

“At the moment, I see this paper as a refl ective journal of Overbrook,” Dennys said.

She said the team will be looking ahead to get more youth-oriented copy in the paper, including puzzles, car-toons or even a student con-tributor.

The goal is to make the paper self-sustaining, with funding coming solely from advertisers. The idea of add-ing an additional four pages is also being considered for the March edition.

Distribution is near com-plete thanks to volunteers from all around the communi-ty and Dennys said she barely has 20 copies left. Ottawa Community Housing will also be distributing to its homes in the neighbourhood.

“We are getting our com-munity message out,” Perry said.

The deadline for submis-sions for the March 2013 edi-tion is Jan. 28, 2013 and peo-ple can contact the Overbrook News at [email protected].

EMC news – Plans for a $17.5 million landmark foot-bridge were met with unani-mous support and even ap-plause during a Sept. 27 open house at the Glebe Commu-nity Centre.

The 334-metre bridge would provide a new link for 2,500 pedestrians and cyclists each day and even more when Lansdowne Park and the Ob-late lands in Old Ottawa East are redeveloped.

While a previous draft of the design featured sharper angles, it has been refi ned into a sleek, continuous curve spanning the Rideau Canal.

While the V-shaped support structures remain the same, engineers cleaned up a “busy” looking under-deck to give it a “tidier appearance” from below, thinking ahead to skat-ers passing below the bridge when the canal is frozen.

A detailed design is still to come, but the team suggested a white bridge that would im-ply transparency and give the bridge a clean, sleek appear-ance.

One lesson the team learned from the Corkstown Bridge was that such projects encour-age people to congregate and sightsee – not just travel.

Some residents at the meet-ing asked engineers to look at the tight turns on the “switch-

back” ramp, and the possibil-ity of adding stairs. Staff said the city and National Capital Commission would prefer to eliminate stairs both to im-prove accessibility and the ease of maintenance.

Since the new bridge would be twice the length of the Corkstown Bridge, the team is proposing a pedestrian “deck” that would encourage people to walk, sit on benches and linger along the deck por-tion, rather than the traveling portion. LED lights would provide consistent illumina-tion for safety and to give the

bridge an attractive glow, said Mark Langridge, one of the project’s engineers.

“We defi nitely do not want to light it up like a Christmas tree,” he said.

The plan also includes add-ing signalized intersections at Fifth Avenue and Queen Eliz-abeth Drive on the west side of the canal, and at Colonel By Drive and Clegg Avenue on the east side – a plan that was met with a loud round of applause from an audience who has long called for traffi c signals there.

The engineering team spent

a portion of their presentation outlining why a $17.5-million landmark bridge was an im-portant capital feature that’s worth the cost.

The much simpler Cork-stown pedestrian bridge over the canal to the north would cost about $9 million if it was built today.

Everyone interviewed by the Ottawa East EMC and al-most everyone who spoke at the open house voiced support for the bridge, but some had reservations about the $17.5-million price tag.Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said the

bridge is a smart investment because it will become such an integral east-west link in neighbourhoods that will be intensifying.

“You always wish the price was lower,” Chernushenko said.

The councillor said he sees no reason why the price tag would sink the landmark proj-ect entirely, but it might de-lay it while the city looks for funds from other sources as well as the budget. The bridge wouldn’t likely be built until the next term of council, even if this council approves the

detailed design.A number of creative so-

lutions to pay for the bridge were proposed. Rose im-pressed Project manager Co-lin Simpson with his sugges-tion to seek funding from the federal government to frame the bridge as a project mark-ing Canada’s 175th birthday in 2017. Bell wondered about asking the Lansdowne Park redevelopers, Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, to defray the cost. Old Ottawa East residents Paul Hobkirk and William Onate suggest-ed fi nding a sponsor for the naming rights of the bridge. Hobkirk even suggested his own employer, Alcatel, which sponsors the Alcatel-Lucent Sunday Bike Days that close the canal parkways to cars one day a week in the summer.

Old Ottawa South resident Keith Bell said he has a more cynical take than others.

“The other side of the canal is going to be inundated with parking,” he said, referring to Old Ottawa East.

Clegg Avenue-area resi-dent Ron Rose said he and his neighbours are already used to their neighbourhood becoming a parking lot dur-ing Winterlude, when skaters come for the easy access to the Rideau Canal Skateway.

“We’re willing to put up with whatever extra parking comes just to have access to that way to get across the canal,” Rose said.

EMC news - For 10 days only this fall, people can wit-ness 41 different butterfl ies species, living together in one greenhouse take fl ight.

The annual Ottawa Butter-fl y Show in the Nesbitt Biol-ogy Building at Carleton Uni-versity began on Sept. 29 and will be open until Oct. 8. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. everyday, peo-ple will have the rare oppor-tunity to watch butterfl ies in action. Greenhouse manager, Edward Bruggink has worked on the show since its incep-tion, 13 years ago.

“This show offers education and fun,” Bruggink said. “It is a show everyone can enjoy.”

At the show last year more than 10,000 people visited the greenhouses.

Bruggink said the butter-fl ies come in from around the world, in fi ve different ship-ments.

Some have already co-cooned, so students from the biology department help trans-port and place the cocoons in a mesh casing, which is displayed at the back of the greenhouse.

The staff also encourages families to come right when the show opens, because that is when emergence happens.

“It is a miracle,” Bruggink said. “Every time I see it, it is amazing. It is defi nitely so great to see.”

From caterpillars, cocoon and then butterfl y, the show offers a rare glimpse of the lifespan of a butterfl y. Most species live for a total of three weeks.

Of the species in the green-house, Bruggink said there is two of the world’s largest moth, the Atlas moth, found in tropical settings in Southeast Asia.

The show is completely free, but does accept donations.

People are encouraged to bring their cameras and wear bright colours to the show, which Bruggink said will at-tract the butterfl ies.

The Greenhouse is locat-ed in the Nesbitt building, on the corner of University Drive and Raven Road.

More information about the show, along with directions to the building are available on the Carleton website at www1.carleton.ca/biology/annual-bi-ology-butterfl y-show.

EMC news - The desire among city councillors to move ahead with permit-ting digital billboards in the city pitted rural and subur-ban councillors against urban representatives at a Sept. 25 meeting.

In the end, despite 700 com-ments from the public, mostly in opposition to the idea, the urban area will be open to digital billboards – with a list of restrictions.

Those rules will make Ot-tawa’s digital billboards the dimmest and most restricted advertising screens in the country, said Peter Giles, a project and program manager with the city’s planning and infrastructure department.

Still images (not videos) on the LED lit signs will have to remain for a minimum of 10 seconds before changing, and the signs will have to be the least bright in Canada. The locations will also be very restricted: digital signs won’t be allowed in rural or pre-

dominantly residential areas, near heritage properties or on hydro corridors and there are generous setback distances to keep them away from high-way on- and off-ramps, park-ways and villages.

Giles estimates that 22 of the 393 documented conven-tional billboards in the city could be converted to digi-tal billboards under the new rules.

That didn’t please some councillors on the planning committee, including Bar-rhaven councillor and plan-ning committee vice chair-woman Jan Harder.

“You said we are going to be the most restrictive in the country. The question is, why? Why do we need to be?” Harder asked city staff during the Sept. 25 meeting. “I just think this is way overly cau-tious.”

If digital billboards are more attractive and offer more timely information than stan-dard billboards, Harder said, why not allow them?

The planning committee voted in favour of Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley’s direction to ask staff to come back in a year to look at ex-panding the digital billboard program to other areas, in-cluding rural and suburban

sections of Ottawa.Kitchissippi Coun. Kather-

ine Hobbs was the only mem-ber of the committee to vote against the digital billboard proposal. One of four pilot project billboards is located in her ward, at Carling and Kirk-wood avenues, and her offi ce receives numerous complaints that it is distracting.

“I don’t interpret that as having access to more and better information,” Hobbs said, adding that she was dis-appointed with staff’s recom-mendation.

“What is the benefi t to our constituents? I think we have the time and the benefi t of being cautious,” Hobbs said. “We should be considering enhancements to our public spaces instead of just a rev-enue stream.”

Allowing digital signs will allow for the city to charge $2,500 for a digital billboard permit – that’s $700 more than a conventional billboard.

For sites that don’t qualify under the guidelines, an ad-

vertiser can apply for a minor variance to get an exemption for a digital billboard. That would also cost $2,500 on top of the permit.

Orléans Coun. Bob Monette was concerned that the city won’t be making enough mon-ey from digital billboards.

“My only concern is that we’re not getting enough bang for our buck,” Monette said. “We’re almost breaking even, we should be doing bet-ter than breaking even.”

Until now, the only types of digital signs allowed were digital scrolling text as part of “message centre” signs and video signs for drive-through restaurants. Digital signs are considered more effi cient because they can display a greater number of messages, so they are more cost-effective; there is a greater supply of advertising, making it more affordable to small businesses; and they are easier and less expensive to maintain, according to a city report.

Councillors want digitals signs in rural, suburban areas

EMC news – At a recent Glebe Community Associa-tion meeting, board members discussed the possibility of adding a neighbourhood west of Bronson Avenue to offi cial boundaries.

The Glebe Annex is to the northwest of the Glebe, bounded by Bronson Avenue to the east and Carling Avenue to the North.

At the Glebe Community Association’s Sept. 25 meet-ing, members of the board and

residents discussed the possi-bility of incorporating the area in the association. Planning committee chairman Bobby Galbreath asked the board to consider making a decision, one way or another on the area this year.

“It has come up a number of times in meetings,” Gal-breath said. “A decision needs to be made.”

Association president Lynn Barlow agreed.

“I think we should talk about this during the course of the year and come up with a structure that could work for them and the GCA,” she said.

Previously the Glebe had absorbed residents living in the Dow’s Lake neighbor-hood, located immediately south of the Glebe Annex, into its coverage area.

Formal discussions by the Glebe board discussions regarding the Glebe Annex began in January 2011. The goal at that time was to hold a public consultation in the spring of 2011, which never took place.

This lack of action on the matter is what led Galbreath to call on the board to move forward with the issue this year.

Early decisions concern-ing the Glebe Annex saw the board agree to reach out to the

community to gauge the level of support among residents for the idea. The Glebe associa-tion has participated in con-sultations held by developers and city staff concerning the annex, with the association making formal comments on projects set to be developed in that neighbourhood.

Galbreath said such repre-sentation may be something that residents of the Glebe An-nex may be interested in.

A fi nal decision on the is-sue, the board said, would be made at the association’s an-nual general meeting in the spring of 2013.

EMC news – A recent music festival left a city councillor’s home shaking, something he wasn’t too happy about.

Capital Coun. David Cher-nushenko said the city needs to look into the physical impact of loud noises: vibrations.

Cherushenko’s Old Ottawa South home was rocking re-cently during the House of PainT festival.

While he couldn’t hear the music emanating from under the Dunbar Bridge, Cher-nushenko said his house was vibrating non-stop during the performances.

“I couldn’t say it was noisy,” he said. “It was the non-stop buzzing of my home and my body and the street I was standing on. It’s extreme-ly uncomfortable what it does to the body.”

The councillor will be sub-mitting an inquiry to city staff after he was told that bylaw staff has no way to measure the subwoofer vibrations, nor any way to enforce a city by-law when it comes to physical “buzzing.”

“It’s about the physical ef-fect and the fact that you can’t get away from it. You can’t close your windows,” Cher-nushenko said, adding the city needs a better understanding

of the vibrations’ impact on people’s health and the con-dition of neighbouring build-ings.

“I’m positive we need to govern it in some way,” he said.

Chernushenko didn’t want to single out the one festival. While it was his most visceral personal experience with the phenomenon, the issue of noise vibrations is a grow-ing one in the city and North America as audio technology changes.

A cursory Google search revealed that many jurisdic-tions are looking at the issue, but they have also found more questions than answers, Cher-nushenko said.

EMC news – The United Way Ottawa has lowered this year’s fundraising target after falling $1.5 million short of last year’s goal of $33.5 mil-lion.

More than 1,000 people at-tended a rally at the CE Centre on Sept. 27, when the United Way offi cially launched the 2012 Community Campaign, announcing a fundraising target of $30 million – $3.5 million less than last year’s target.

“We are being respectful of the economic dynamics of the community right now.

There are wage freezes, job cuts and we have a smaller public service this year. The goal refl ects that and we are respectful of that,” said cam-paign co-chair and television personality Angie Poirier.

She urged those present at the launch to give, speak-up and take action to support the community.

“We are pretty confi dent that we are going to make our goal and again exceed it if possible,” said Poirier.

Campaign co-chair, Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he was confi dent the charity would be

able to reach this year’s mark.“United Way is a voice for

giving and for philanthropy in our city,” said Fleury. “By supporting United Way, we are all working together to re-solve our community’s most critical challenges — now and for our future.”

The focus area champions will speak directly with do-nors about the importance of the campaign and how their contributions are directly sup-porting United Way’s focus areas and making a difference to the community.

“Both Mathieu and I have grown up in this city with a belief that we can make a dif-ference. We have the legacy of so many leaders in this com-munity and I’m proud to step up and take my place beside them — beside you,” said Po-irier.

Whether donors contribute to United Way’s community priorities or support the char-ity of their choice, their dona-tions help to build a stronger, healthier and safer community for all, said a United Way press release. Donors can contribute through payroll deductions or online giving, corporate gifts and through special fundrais-ing events.

The money raised through

the campaign helps children to grow up great, ensures that disabled people, newcomers

to Canada and seniors gain a greater sense of belonging to community, and turns lives

around for the chronically homeless, youth with addic-tions and people and families

dealing with poverty, mental illness and violence, said the United Way.

These days, when you lament for the past you are not looking all that far back. Change happens so quickly that the latest thing becomes the previous

thing in no time fl at.DVD players came about 15 years ago. Five

years after that they became dominant and people stopped renting videotapes. Now it’s next to impossible to rent a DVD. That’s fast. And don’t bet the mortgage on the next thing lasting all that long either.

Think of how long radio was dominant before television took over. Think of how long phonograph records lasted before CDs came along. Decades and decades. Now within a single decade we see new systems emerge, disappear and be replaced by others which then disappear too. If you feel too lazy to try to keep up, join the club.

Last week Sam Sniderman died at 92. He was the founder of the record store Sam the Re-cord Man. Located on Yonge Street in Toronto it was the place to go for fans of all kinds of music, especially the less popular kinds.

Eventually there were more than 100 Sam’s across Canada, including several here. There was a pretty good one at Carlingwood and a really good one at Bayshore, with the jazz and classical music in a special glassed-in sec-tion of the store. Anywhere in Canada, if you wanted a wide selection of classical music or jazz or folk music, Sam’s was where you went.

Where do you go now? You go online. And who is there? No one, except you. Some of the comment on the death of Sam has stressed that point - that there was always someone knowl-

edgeable around the store to consult if you wanted to know about the latest Miles Davis reissue. But, actually, there is no shortage of opinion available today, expert and otherwise. If you want to buy the latest Miles reissue you can scan the web and fi nd out what everyone thinks about it. You can probably sample a track. Even though there is no one to talk to in a store, you can fi nd what you need to know.

So it’s not the absence of expertise that makes the passing of the record (later CD) store lamentable. Nor is it that there is less music available. There is more. Those of us who grew up desperately searching for jazz in small-town record stores and on the radio fi nd ourselves facing riches beyond belief on the Internet.

So why do we miss the record store? Why, for that matter, will we miss the book store. There is no shortage of ways to get books online and no shortage of books either.

Maybe it’s because we feel we are at the mercy of technology. A record (or a CD) is a tangible thing. It is always there. Music on the Internet depends on your Internet connection; music on your computer depends on your hard drive not packing it in. It feels tenuous and temporary.

Not to everyone, of course. It is not unusual to fi nd people whose entire music collection is stored on a device smaller than, say, a DVD box. Their total embrace of the new technology is what has sparked the tremendous growth in online music and the death of the record store.

To be fair, the record, or CD store, still exists. They are fewer and often drastically scaled-down. But a few stores, like Compact Music and CD Warehouse in Ottawa, are still fi ghting the good fi ght.

In response to Sam Sniderman’s death, there has been comment on the feeling of community in the store and the loss of that community since it closed. There is, of course, a new com-munity – it is online and it will take some get-ting used to. When Marshall McLuhan talked about the “global village,” he didn’t know the villagers would be solitary people at their computer screens.

Life after the record store’s demise

Funny Town

Despite the ethical hand-wringing that will inevitably accompany the

mayor’s announcement last week that Ottawa will enter-tain any proposals from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to build a casino in the city, it is the right way to move forward on this issue.

Casinos have been a reality in Ontario since 1994, in the capital region since 1996 and there have been slot machines at the Rideau Carleton Race-

way since 2000, meaning residents of this city have had plenty of opportunity to gamble for more than a decade. Getting squeamish about gambling at this point is a little naive – gaming arrived in Ontario nearly 20 years ago.

What is at issue is not if Ottawa will allow a casino, but where. Currently, gam-blers travel to Gatineau or to the racetrack to place their bets. In the near future, OLG will close the slots at Rideau

Carleton, meaning any money made from gambling will leave the city, as will the jobs associated with the operation of the slots.

It would be irresponsible for either Mayor Jim Watson or council to let this happen. As Watson said last week, “every Ottawa dollar spent at the Gatineau casino is a dollar lost for Ottawa taxpayers – it is time that we repatriate that money.” What is at stake is whether Ottawa will allow jobs, gambling revenue and

associated tourist dollars to stay in our city or leave for good.

The mayor indicated any revenue generated for the city by a casino will be spent on infrastructure renewal, job creation and economic devel-opment, all areas that will be moving to the forefront of the city’s agenda in the coming years.

But gambling revenues won’t be the only way build-ing a casino could benefi t the city. As the federal govern-

ment sheds jobs, new sources of employment will be vital to Ottawa. If one of those sources of new jobs is a casino, so be it. It wouldn’t just be a casino, however, as other hospitality businesses would benefi t from a casino’s presence, as would the more established Ottawa tourism industry.

In order to ensure a casino is successful, the city will need to be brave enough to approve a location that en-sures its success. This would likely involve a central loca-tion close to existing hotels and transit. To place it on the outskirts of the city would only deter tourists and serve

to limit the casino’s capacity to benefi t the city, making the whole exercise a waste of public time and resources.

Does all this mean the city and the province would not have a responsibility to educate residents about problem gambling or support those who have an addiction? Of course not - and it would only be appropriate that some portion of gambling revenue be directed towards expanding and improving those efforts.

Gambling is nothing new to the Ottawa region and by fi rmly putting his support behind any future OLG casino proposal Watson has placed a good bet on the city’s future.

Watson’s casino wager the right call

EMC news - In light of the new changes to garbage pickup across the city, board members of the Sandy Hill community association are taking action to educate resi-dents.

Starting Oct. 29, in an ef-fort to reduce the amount of solid waste the city is sending to the landfi ll, green-bin ma-terials will be collected each week while garbage pick up will be reduced to once every two weeks. The frequency of cardboard and container recy-cling won’t change.

As a result of the transi-tion, 158,000 households in Ottawa, including Sandy Hill, will get a new garbage collec-tion day.

Christopher Collmorgen, president of Action Sandy Hill, announced that because of these changes, education is needed to control the amount of garbage piled up on its streets.

“Garbage is an uphill battle for us as it is and I think this change will be hard,” said Collmorgen.

“It will be all about educat-ing residents.”

Sandy Hill’s garbage pick-

up will change from Mondays to Tuesdays.

Many University of Ottawa students call Sandy Hill their home, because of the close proximity of the neighbour-hood to the university. The number of students living in the downtown neighbourhood has created many battles be-tween home owners and stu-dents, including disputes over garbage piling up at rental properties.

“We have a lot of issues with buildings that don’t have the proper receptacles to hold the amount of garbage they produce now, when the new changes come in, we will re-ally be in trouble,” said board member Francois Bregha.

Unfortunately, Collmorgen said, efforts to educate resi-dents can only go so far.

“We will have to recognize that change is diffi cult,” he said. “We should give it time, and we may need to liter-ally hold our noses during the transition.”

Some board members indi-cated reservations about hav-ing to once again be in charge of telling on their neighbours if garbage is placed out incor-rectly or remains for weeks on end.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Ma-

thieu Fleury announced the city will be monitoring the transition closely to ensure it goes as smoothly as possible, including offering residents

tools to learn about the col-lection schedule, including a searchable online calendar, as well as weekly collection reminders by phone, email or

Twitter. Residents will have the op-

portunity to choose whether they want the alerts to arrive the evening before or the

morning of collection day. More information about the city’s changes can be found at ottawa.ca/en/garbage_re-cycle.

Garbage changes spark education push in Sandy Hill


Garbage in the Sandy Hill neighbourhood has had a tendancy to pile up, with some multi-unit dwellings placing garbage on the curb any time of the week. With new changes to the city’s garbage pickup schedule, board members of Action Sandy Hill plan on educating residents on the changes, to make the transition go more smoothly.

Association president advises residents to use patience during the transition

The new fi ve-storey, 13,490-square-metre build-ing, will house two separate research efforts, a new space for the uOttawa Centre for Advanced Photonics and 10 state-of-the-art geosciences laboratories.

“The groundbreaking of this world-class facility sets Ottawa on the path to becom-ing the geoscience capital and the photonics capital of the world,” said university presi-dent Allan Rock.

It will also house Canada’s only accelerator mass spec-trometer lab, which will fea-ture Canadian technology used world-wide to measure trace atoms with unstable nuclei, called radionuclides. That device is currently at the University of Toronto, but

will move to Ottawa once the building is complete.

“The University of Toronto donated $1-million worth in equipment in support for this, because they said they felt this lab was the best place (for the

mass spectrometer) to be,” Nemer said.

Once complete, this build-ing will be home to physics and engineering experts, includ-ing the university’s Dr. Robert

Boyd, a global leader in the fi eld of photonics and Canada Excellence Research chairman in quantum nonlinear optics. The building will be complete in the spring of 2014.

HELP PROTECTCHILDREN

IN OUR COMMUNITYOctober is Child Abuseand Neglect PreventionMonth

More than 47% of adults in Ontario have been exposed to or know someone who is the victim of child abuse and neglect. In Ottawa alone, only 42% of residents claim to know how to report abuse directly to the CAS. These numbers suggest there are far too many vulnerable children and youth, without a voice, in our community.

During Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month, through a variety of media outlets and social media tools, it is the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa’s mission to educate the public about the prevention of abuse.

“People feel it’s hard to infringe on parental rights, and they’re naturally hesitant to involve themselves,” says Barbara MacKinnon, Executive Director of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa. “When reporting to CAS, it doesn’t mean we are going to remove a child from their home. It is about assessing the situation and discovering whether the family may benefi t from support services.”

Signs may not always be obvious in a child who has been abused or neglected. This is why it is our responsibility, as a community, to stay informed of the signs of abuse and learn when and who to call to help a child. “If your gut tells you that something’s wrong, then it probably is,” continues MacKinnon. Not all calls received by CAS result in an investigation, and only an extremely small percentage of investigations require that a child or youth be removed from the family home. Most often, the intervention involves simply connecting the family to services within the community. Last year, in more than 90 per cent of cases where CAS became involved, work was done with the family and the child stayed home.

To learn more about the warning signs of abuse, visit useyourvoice.ca. Get involved and help protect children in our community. If you suspect child abuse or neglect call 613-747-7800, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

It’s not an easy time to be a public servant. In Ontario, slightly more than half of teachers

are locked in battle with the government. At the federal level, departments continue to implement broad and deep cuts to meet the Conservative party’s 2012 budget targets. On top of the internal strife, government workers must also defl ect the near daily onslaught of criticism from the public and the media, which tend to portray them as greedy, lazy, and spoiled.

There’s a widely-held perception, after all, that the public service is where talent and innovation go to die. Once people sign on, they’re there for life. No need to work hard. Push some paper. Organize a conference call now and again. Then you can just kick back and enjoy the ride – or, in this case, a lucrative benefi t package. The sad thing is, as with most ste-reotypes, there’s some truth to this perception.

It’s not surprising, really. The federal government em-ploys a quarter of a million people, the largest employer in the country. The hiring process alone is a cumber-some and lengthy affair, often taking more than six months to fi ll even an entry-level po-sition. There are written tests followed by a series of inter-views by committee, where

mechanical human resources offi cers tick off horribly detailed boxes designed to fi t existing job descriptions.

But if the hiring process is archaic, the fi ring process is positively draconian. In the private sector, you get a pink slip, maybe a package and someone walks you out the door, ideally with some kind of career transition counselling. In government, you get a notice that maybe, possibly, perhaps you’re go-ing to lose your job at some point between now and six months from now. You have the option to take a package or a retraining amount and leave. But if you want to stay employed you, and, say, 15 others who’ve received the same notice, are going to have to compete for a handful of positions.

Imagine what this does to morale which is already in the toilet. The department affected goes into a tailspin. People’s reactions range from “the devil may care,” to panic-stricken. Whatever the response, it’s hard to go to

work without looking at your colleagues sideways. Most of those whose positions may be affected have a tendency to reduce their efforts to the bare minimum.

Part of the problem, and what causes much of the panic, is that people don’t have a Plan B, says Moira Hutchison, a life strategy mentor and coach.

“When people work in the government, they feel like they’re set for life,” says Hutchison, owner of Wellness with Moira. “They have the pension and the health ben-efi ts. They may not even like their jobs, but they become so panic-stricken because the idea they had of safety and security has been stripped away from them. They are stuck.”

For the last 10 years, Hutchison has been connect-ing clients with a number of self-help methods – ranging from hypnosis to self-affi rma-tion and coaching -- designed to help them get “unstuck”.

“People forget what motivated them to get into

these jobs in the fi rst place,” explains Hutchison. “When the cuts come, they get frozen into this worst-case scenario kind of thinking. But before they hit a crisis, they need to be tapping into resources to make sure they have the tools for self-care, and are equipped to handle these things when they see it com-ing rather than waiting until the crisis hits.”

Hutchison adds that, with so many layoffs occurring at once, people would be well-served to tap into their entrepreneurial skills, think-ing about ways to turn their passions into money-making ventures.

“People aren’t going to be able to just go and work at Tim Horton’s,” says Hutchi-son. “They require jobs of equal calibre to what they’re doing now. But these jobs don’t exist, so they are go-ing to have to create one for themselves.”

She says everyone in government – regardless of whether their jobs are immi-nently affected or not – would be well-served to escape from the mindset that they are “lifers” in the govern-ment. A little innovation and entrepreneurship within their jobs could make them a lot happier and more productive, and it may just help them minimize that nasty public perception.

EMC news - Swimmers in Old Ottawa South are out of luck this fall.

All programs at the pool at the Brewer Complex have been cancelled until the new year due to delays in construc-tion while repairing the pool’s roof.

The pool closed in June with a promise to re-open in September, but now the pool isn’t expected to re-open until “early 2013,” according to city spokeswoman Jocelyne Tuner.

The work was needed to replace the ceiling, lighting and pool ventilation system, as well as to remove asbestos, repair walls and build an en-trance ramp. But when workers dug into the ceiling, engineers determined that the structural roof deck itself was worse for wear and needed repairs.

“When work was conduct-ed, structural engineers deter-mined that the structural roof deck had to be repaired before the building could reopen to the public,” Dan Chenier, general manager of parks, recreation and cultural services, said in a statement.

The additional work will cost $400,000 on top of the $1.18 million price tag for the original project; $615,000 of that was slated for ceiling re-pairs, while $319,000 was sup-posed to go towards the venti-lation system. The remaining $250,000 was budgeted for the accessible entrance ramp.

“If anyone had known it was that bad, we would have done it differently,” said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko.

What’s not accounted for is the loss in revenue from pro-

gram registrations.The planned summer clo-

sure meant the cancellation of 330 learn to swim courses, but the last-minute fall closure left users without access to 533 learn to swim courses at Brew-er pool this fall.

The councillor said he was disappointed and upset to hear of the longer-than-expected closure because he fully ex-pected it to open on time.

Pool users would be for-given for thinking the same, as there was no notice posted at Brewer pool about the ongoing closure, nor did the complex’s voicemail message indicate the pool was still closed for repairs.

The city sent a media re-lease on Sept. 28 indicating that the pool would continue to be closed for ongoing repairs.

Old Ottawa East resident Jules Audet swims at Brewer Complex two or three times a week, and he bicycled there to swim at the beginning of Sep-tember only to fi nd extensive construction was still under-way. Assuming the construc-tion would end soon and with no indication otherwise, Audet held out for his home pool, but now that the city has indicated it won’t open until 2013, he said he’ll make other plans.

“In terms of the information lacking, it doesn’t take long to inform people,” Audet said. “I don’t know why they didn’t do that.”

City staff helped pool users fi nd alternate locations wher-ever possible, Chernushenko said. According to the city, 11 fall Brewer pool courses were relocated to other pools.

Part of the contingency plan includes putting off repairs that were planned for the Sawmill

Creek Pool this fall. That work has been delayed until 2013.

Brewer isn’t the only pool with problems this fall. The city had to close the Pinecrest Pool in the west end. The un-expected closure is the result of faulty ceiling panels that were originally replaced in 2009, ac-cording to a written statement from Chenier.

It’s too early to say how much the repairs will cost, but the city has already put $2.6 million of maintenance into that pool since 2004.

College Coun. Rick Chi-arelli said in an email that resi-dents are being offered passes to alternate facilities. While the roof at Pinecrest may be a warranty issue rather than a maintenance one, Chiarelli added that as council drafts the new development charges by-law, it should ensure that some of the money collected from development charges goes to enhancing existing recreation-al infrastructure to a level that can keep pace with the grow-ing population that it creates.

“Obviously the investment of adequate dollars into life-cycle maintenance saves many more dollars in reconstruc-tion,” he said.

All swim programming at Pinecrest, including aqua fi t-ness classes and public swims, have been cancelled.

“The city wishes to thank residents for their patience,” Chenier wrote.

In a recently released report on the city’s infrastructure, the majority of Ottawa’s 29 indoor and outdoor pools were listed in fair condition – a larger pro-portion than the 43 per cent of overall recreation and culture infrastructure listed in fair con-dition. Forty per cent of the city’s recreation and culture in-frastructure is in good to very good condition.

Minister of Energy Chris Bentley tours Generating StationNo. 2 with Bryce Conrad, President and CEO, HydroOttawa Holding Inc.; and Pierre Richard, Chairman, Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. and Hydro Ottawa Limited.

On September 28, Ontario’s Minister of EnergyChris Bentley visited Chaudière GeneratingStation No. 2, one of Hydro Ottawa’s historichydroelectric generating stations at ChaudièreFalls. The station, commissioned in 1891 andrefurbished and fully automated in 2001,is a heritage-designated building that isCanada’s oldest fully-functional run-of-the-river hydroelectric facility. Minister Bentleywas accompanied by Pierre Richard, Chairman,Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. and Hydro OttawaLimited; and Bryce Conrad, President and CEO,Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc.

Hydro Ottawa also owns Chaudière GeneratingStation No. 4, built in 1900 and refurbished in2005, as well as a smaller station named theGrinder Powerhouse which uses an innovativetechnology that is similar to a pump operatingin reverse – the first time this technology hasbeen used at a scale of 700 kilowatts or more.

Hydro Ottawa’s Chaudière Falls stations havea generating capacity of 17 megawatts and anannual production of about 125,000 megawatthours of green energy. With the addition ofits landfill gas-to-energy generation, HydroOttawa is the largest generator of green powerin eastern Ontario.

This green energy portfolio will expand withthe closing of the acquisition of three morehydroelectric stations at Chaudière Falls fromDomtar with a capacity of 20 megawatts. Theacquisition will more than double Hydro Ottawa’shydroelectric generating capacity, enabling thecompany to generate enough clean, renewableenergy to meet the annual needs of 28,000households.

Another benefit of the acquisition is thatthe Chaudière Falls site is one of the largestremaining sites available in Ontario, with anexpansion opportunity that could see HydroOttawa’s hydroelectric capacity grow to 60megawatts.

The concert took place on Sept. 23 at the Southminster United Church. The event, or-ganized by Woyiwada’s fami-ly, brought music, friends and former students together to help the former teacher cover medical costs associated with recovery from aneurysm sur-gery.

A volunteer for the event, Kelly Ray, reported on Sept. 24 the total amount raised at the concert was $35,240.

“The benefi t concert to-night was a huge success,” Ray said. “The church seats over 600 people and we had to turn people away at the door.”

Woyiwada taught for 28 years at Hopewell before re-tiring in 2008. The passion-ate music teacher continued to pursue her love for music with performances and direct-ing for the Savoy Society of Ottawa.

She was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm in December 2011 and underwent surgery in May. Since the surgery, Woyiwada’s daughter, Marya said the road to recovery has been tough and watching her mother’s ordeal, she wanted to ensure once she is released from the hospital the best type of care is waiting for her, and so she began to organize the benefi t concert.

“Although I would have preferred not have to throw this event, the fact that it was so successful was like a dream come true,” Marya said. “The concert was entertaining, a good length and fl owed nice-ly. I’m still wired four days later and on cloud nine.”

A former student Nick Cochrane and The Hopewell school jazz band performed at the concert, but Ray said Woyiwada’s daughter left the audience breathless.

“The singing was magnifi -

cent and particularly touch-ing were performances by Marya,” Ray said. “Marya sang several pieces including one that her mother sang to win Winnipeg’s Rose Bowl in 1976 and a Mozart duet that Marya and Allison (Woy-iwada) performed together in 2010.”

More than half of the $35,240 raised for Woyiwada, $23,180, was through ticket sales and online donations, with $4,520 worth of tickets sold at the Ottawa Folklore

Centre prior to the event. The remainder of the grand total, $7,540 was raised at the con-cert.

Marya added she received regrets and her mother’s blog, woyiwada.blogspot.ca, had received almost 10,000 hits from all over the world lead-ing up to the concert.

Woyiwada’s family will be holding another benefi t con-cert for rehabilitation needs, called Welcome Winter, on Nov. 24 at the Glebe St. James United Church at 4 p.m.

Hopewell benefi t a huge success

SUBMITTED

Mother and daughter, Marya and Allison Wayiwada both share a love for music. A benefi t concert at the Southminster United Church, 15 Alymer Ave. held on Sept. 23 raised more than $35,000 to help Allison Wayiwada pay for medical and therapy costs post-aneurysm surgery.

More than 600 people show support for former music teacher

EMC news - The Ottawa police have moved to reinstall the former constable running the Vanier Community Police Centre following concerns that his replacement could not speak French.

Const. Matt Hunt stepped into the community policing role after Const. Marc Davi-ault was offered another posi-tion within the force.

Following concerns raised by members of the public, in-cluding the Vanier Commu-nity Association, police have confi rmed that as of Sept. 24 Daviault, a bilingual offi cer, will return to his former po-sition.

As of the week of Sept. 17, Hunt was already acting as the community police offi -cer for the area and had even attended an Overbrook com-munity safety meeting on Sept. 20.

Overbrook Community Association president Sheila Perry said she was impressed with Hunt’s resume and his enthusiasm to work at the McArthur Avenue centre.

“I am looking forward to serving the community,” Hunt said at the meeting.

But following the appoint-ment of Hunt the Vanier Com-munity Association expressed concerns about Hunt’s lack of French language skills in a letter addressed to police Chief Charles Bordeleau.

The letter expressed the association’s disappointment that bilingualism was not pri-oritized when hiring the new community police offi cer. “We have concern that a

unilingual offi cer would be less able to offer service to our francophone community,” said president Mike Bulthuis in an interview on Sept. 19. “Community policing is an important service and we are wondering what the police would do to ensure services to the francophone commu-nity would be met.”

According to the Ottawa Police Association, the ap-plication process does not require an applicant to be bi-lingual - it is only listed as an asset.

Matt Skof, president of the

Ottawa Police Association, said it will fi ght the decision to remove Hunt from the com-munity policing position.

“Matt (Hunt) is an incred-ibly skilled offi cer and I am not sure how Matt isn’t capa-ble of doing his job,” he said.

Skof, who has served at the Vanier Community Police Centre himself, said the com-munity has language barriers beyond French and not one of those barriers has stopped him from doing his job effec-tively.

“That centre represents more than just one franco-phone community,” he said.

“(Hunt) placed fi rst in qualifying for this position and it is sad that someone else’s prejudice is threaten-ing that.”

The president said he spoke with Hunt and said the offi cer wants to work in Vanier and wants to have the chance to receive French lan-guage training and he found it concerning the police would be politicizing this particular centre’s appointment.

In the meantime, Hunt will return to his former position as a school resource offi cer serving in the central-east area.

Const. Matt Hunt will no longer be representing the communities of Vanier and Overbrook. The offi cer, placed in the position in mid-September has been removed because he does not speak French. The decision was made on Sept. 24. The former Vanier Community Police Offi cer, Marc Daviault, will remain at the community police centre.

Current bilingual offi cer will remain at Vanier Community Police Centre

EMC news - A Sandy Hill community association is crediting the overwhelm-ing success of its annual fall barbecue to the work of a new committee dedicated to fostering better relations be-tween residents and universi-ty students living in the area.

The Sept. 15 barbecue, organized by Action Sandy Hill, is a means to introduce homeowners, renters and stu-dents to one another and to keep everyone up to date with the goings-on in the neigh-bourhood.

At the association’s monthly meeting on Sept. 24, the fall barbecue commit-tee reported a record break-ing1,179 hamburger and hot dog were consumed at the event.

Action Sandy Hill board member Claire MacDonald credited the success of the barbecue to a door-knocking

campaign the week before the event which saw the as-sociation, community part-ners, police, bylaw offi cers, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Ma-thieu Fleury’s offi ce and the University of Ottawa out in the neighbourhood spreading the word to students about safe behaviours, being a good neighbour and the dangers of alcohol consumption.

“You can see in the num-bers we got at the barbecue that the campaign was effec-tive,” MacDonald said.

The campaign is the prod-uct of a new pilot project, called a town and gown com-mittee, which formed to ad-dress issues in the university neighbourhood.

The fall campaign was part of the committee’s September strategy, which was all about educating the students about the neighbourhood, the city’s garbage schedules and bylaw information.

The fall barbecue is just one of the methods the as-

sociation uses to reach out to new and returning students in the neighbourhood.

In the past, association president Christopher Col-lmorgen said the board would conduct a door-knocking campaign, but this year was the fi rst time the campaign involved 20 students from the university. That peer-to-peer communication was something the board said was missing in the past.

“The success of the bar-becue is evidence of our mo-mentum,” he said.

The barbecue is funded through donations from local business, the Student Fed-eration of the University of Ottawa and the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre. The rest is covered by the as-sociation.

The effect of a larger turn-out at the event this year was absorbed by the association.

“We need to think about more donations next year,” said Francois Bregha, secre-

tary for the board. “It was an impressive

event, but we need to think about setting a budget be-cause this is the kind of suc-cess that could bankrupt us.”

Board members commit-ted to setting up a permanent committee, with a budget and check list for next year’s event.

The town and gown com-

mittee plans on meeting three times a year, with sub-committees meeting more frequently. The next offi cial meeting for the committee is set for November.

“There are a number of im-portant aspects to this report, but the one that jumps out to me is the lack of detail on the retail,” Chernushenko said. “This is the last and indeed almost only chance for coun-cillors and for the public to know what it is we’re buying into. What is it we’re spend-ing $165 million on … . We

can’t just say, ‘Trust us, sign here.’ This is the last chance. This is where we sign the cheque and it can’t be a blank one.”

The whole development is expected to cost $400 million to build, which is shared with the private partner building the project, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group.

Chernushenko said it’s hard for him to believe that

city council’s condition that the retail be a “unique and distinct” mix without seeing even a preliminary list of re-tailers who’ve committed to the Lansdowne vision.

“It’s chance of success re-lies on it being unique and distinct, because why else would you choose … to go there when you can fi nd the exact same mix of stores with free parking closer to you?”

Chernushenko said. Meanwhile, a whopping

212 per cent increase in the potential revenue that could be derived from selling nam-ing rights at Lansdowne is attributed to expanding the scope of naming opportuni-ties, said city manager Kent Kirkpatrick. While earlier versions of the plan estimat-ed that $15.7 million could be raised from fi nding spon-

sors to name components of the stadium and arena, but a consultant determined that $50.2 million could be raised from fi nding sponsors to name various components of the entire site, including the commercial section and the urban park.

The city’s fi nance and economic development com-mittee was set to debate the report at an evening meeting

on Oct. 2.While the entire develop-

ment, including Frank Clair Stadium, is expected to be fully complete by 2015, the stadium won’t be ready in time for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup games in 2014. Ottawa will still welcome the Women’s World Cup in 2015 and CFL foot-ball will be ready to go in later 2014.

Stadium will not be ready for FIFA U-20 event in 2014, city says

EMC news - An experi-mental chemical insecticide and a different way to process infected ash wood are two new ways the city is fi ghting the emerald ash borer.

Two dozen Ottawa trees will be injected with a new insecticide called Confi dor over the next couple of weeks, making the city only the sec-ond Canadian municipality to try the treatment against the beetles, which burrow under ash trees’ bark, slowly killing them.

Its recent Health Canada approval means it isn’t even available for sale yet, so Ot-tawa is getting the insecticide for free from the company as it assesses Confi dor’s effec-tiveness and impact.

That announcement came with news that the beetles have spread farther across the city. New locations identifi ed this year include: Barrhaven, Kanata North, Fitzroy Har-bour, Stittsville, Richmond, Manotick, Metcalfe, Vernon, Vars and Navan.

Environment commit-tee chairwoman Coun. Ma-ria McRae said it is “pretty frightening” how quickly the emerald ash borer is spreading across Ottawa. The beetle was fi rst identifi ed here in 2008.

“It’s really quite a tragedy to see the number of trees

lost,” said Mayor Jim Watson, adding he doesn’t want to see Ottawa lose its reputation as a green city.

The city has already inject-ed 2,309 trees with an insecti-cide called Tree Azin, includ-ing 262 new trees as part of $1 million in extra EAB funding approved by city council in

July. The city expects to have 4,000 to 5,000 trees on a two-year inoculation cycle by the end of 2013.

Some trees can’t be saved by Tree Azin insecticide in-jections at a cost of $200 to $400 per tree, so the city has a strategy to plant a variety of species to replace them.

The city will have planted just shy of 4,000 new trees in 2012 by this fall: 1,267 trees were planted along streets and in parks this spring, and another 2,700 will be planted this fall thanks to the rest of that $1 million in extra fund-ing.

Many of those trees will be larger 50 millimetre diameter trees, which residents have said they’re rather see than the 25 millimetre diameter trees the city has been planting.

The city will send a notice to residents on streets where planting will occur before planting a new tree beside a dying ash tree. If the tree is a city tree on private property, that property owner will be a second notice before the city comes to plant the new tree, and a marker will be placed on their lawn to show them where the new tree will go.

In the future, McRae hinted that the city would be open to adding a new tool into its arse-nal: biological pests. Wasps are being used to fi ght the emerald ash borer in Minnesota, and Ottawa’s forester is watching to see if it’s something worth talking about for this city.

Infested ash wood will no longer be shipped or stored at the city’s Trail Road landfi ll site. Ottawa Cedar Lumber, a company located just east of Ottawa, successfully bid to sort of process the city’s ash wood. The Canadian Food In-spection Agency also signed off on the bid.

According to the city, the family company at 2188 Dun-ning Rd. in Cumberland oper-ates a sawmill and has been producing rough-cut wood and large volumes of wood chips for the past eight years.

Owner Luc Laplante said he plans to turn much of the usable wood into lumber for fl ooring or furniture, but the city has discussed buying back some of the wood at a re-duced rate to be used in the fu-ture light rail stations, perhaps for benches or wood paneling. The leftovers can be turned into chips for co-generation energy production.

Signing on with Ottawa Cedar Lumber will reduce the risk of spreading the bugs by minimizing the processing time and moving the wood di-rectly to the processing site.

The city also expects the tipping cost fees of 30 per cent to drop.

EMC news - Mayor Jim Watson is backing a new ca-sino for Ottawa and he’ll ask the rest of city council to do the same.

The mayor took to Twitter to announce his support for an Ottawa casino on Sept. 24.

“I will ask council to sig-nal interest, in principle, in a new gaming facility (no loca-tion yet). This would allow the (Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation) to seek propos-als,” the mayor stated through his Twitter account, @Jim-WatsonOttawa.

An Ottawa casino would help the city earn more reve-nue at a time when aging infra-structure costs are creeping up, Watson said. He is proposing to spend revenue from a new casino equally on infrastruc-

ture renewal, job creation and economic development.

“Every Ottawa dollar spent at the Gatineau casino is a dol-lar lost for Ottawa taxpayers – it is time that we repatriate that money and use it to create jobs here in Ottawa,” Watson said in the statement. “With infrastructure challenges and federal job cuts in Ottawa, we cannot miss out on a tremen-dous opportunity like this.”

From Casino Lac-Leamy in nearby Gatineau to church-basement bingos, gambling is already available and preva-lent, Watson said.

“My view is, let’s repatri-ate some of that money from Quebec and put it into the On-tario economy through jobs, economic development and to help pay for some of our infra-structure,” Watson said.

The mayor added that Ot-tawa has the “worst of both

worlds” right now because gambling revenue goes to Gatineau and Quebec across the river, while Ottawa and Ontario must fund gambling addiction programs for citi-zens who use the Lac-Leamy facility.

“I’ve said all along that my preference would be close to transit and the urban core,” Watson said. “But that doesn’t preclude someone from out at the airport, or downtown, or the raceway from putting a bid together.”

That’s exactly what the Rideau-Carleton Raceway in-tends to do, said spokesman Alex Lawryk.

The raceway already has an existing facility and room for parking, which would make it much cheaper to add to and convert into a casino, he said, adding that gambling in this region might not be prevalent

enough to support a multi-mil-lion dollar investment in a new facility.

A location wouldn’t be de-cided until the second phase and it would be up to possible casino developers to propose a location. The city would have the fi nal say over rezoning a site to accommodate a new gambling facility.

Offi cials from Ottawa Tour-ism and the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce chimed in on the mayor’s press release, stating that a gaming facility could drive economic development and increase tourism in the

city.“An Ottawa gaming facil-

ity could bring tremendous economic benefi ts to existing Ottawa businesses,” David Donaldson, chairman of the Ottawa Chamber of Com-merce, said in the statement sent out by the mayor’s offi ce. “Proceeding in this process will make potential investors confi dent that the City of Ot-tawa is willing to consider a proposal.”

Members of the public were set to have a chance to voice their opinions on a possible Ottawa casino during a fi nance

and economic development committee meeting on Oct. 2, after this newspaper’s dead-line. In an unusual move, the meeting was held in the eve-ning to make it easier for resi-dents to come to city hall and participate in the discussion.

A report directing city staff to “research the economic ben-efi ts” of a gaming facility and consult Ottawa Public Health will be presented during that meeting.

The committee’s recom-mendation will be considered by full city council on Oct. 10. If it gets the thumb’s up, Wat-son would write to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corpo-ration to signal that the city would support a new gaming facility in principle.

EMC news - From comput-ers to cupcakes, new Cana-dians have become Ottawa’s entrepreneurs.

Newcomers to Canada who hope to become business owners received a large dose of inspiration at a network-ing event hosted by Ottawa Centre MP Paul Dewar and the Ottawa Public Library on Sept. 25. More than 150 peo-ple travelled to Ben Franklin Place in Nepean to learn about starting a business.

The event was aimed at new Canadians because Dewar’s offi ce noticed so many new-comers tend to search for the same information.

“We were getting the same requests over and over,” Dew-ar said. “Usually we send them to the resources and then we thought, ‘Let’s pull these people together and show them what’s available.’”

The city’s hub for business questions and answers is In-vest Ottawa, but the evening’s would-be entrepreneurs also had a chance to chart with representatives of micro-loan programs, local and federal

organizations and the library. Visitors heard a few suc-

cess stories from people who, like them, once dreamed of starting their own business.

A panel of fi ve entrepre-neurs – all newcomers to Can-ada at some point – gave ad-vice and answered questions from an audience that seemed to hang on every word.

Common themes were pas-sion for the chosen fi eld of work and the support of family, along with thorough research prior to a business launch.

Claudia Arizmendi of the Cupcake Lounge moved to Ottawa from Mexico in 1994. She started baking part-time at home and decided to switch to full-time. She attended Al-gonquin College to learn the culinary skills she’d need.

Arizmendi said she started gathering information and had her business plan reviewed by what is now Invest Ottawa and made the changes the experts suggested.

With the help of a loan, the Cupcake Lounge opened in 2011 in the Byward Market.

“We broke all projections,” Arizmendi said, adding the shop has 15 employees and served 50,000 customers last

year.Her advice: “Go back to

school if you need to. Have your plan reviewed and make changes.”

Xuening Chen arrived here from China and worked in high-tech before starting a retail computer business in 1990. He sold that company in 2006.

Between those years he

learned that his then-lim-ited English communications skills made it critical to fi nd a local partner who could ap-proach corporate customers, and sales to companies even-tually eclipsed retail sales to individual consumers.

Columbian émigré Jaime Baquero said he has been suc-cessful because he works on something he is passionate

about: coral reefs.In order to succeed in Can-

ada, Baquero said he needed to learn English and French, so took work in retail. Once he could better communicate with his fellow Canadians, he volunteered with a group that protects reefs and has since made a living by start-ing a company that maintains aquariums.

“Canada is a country of opportunities,” Baquero said. “The key is passion and the support of your family.”

Baquero also preached con-servative economics to any fu-ture entrepreneur.

“Don’t spend more than you can afford,” he said.

Ottawa library CEO Dani-elle McDonald said new Ca-nadians have a tendency to start their business inquiries at their local library branch, and as a result, Ottawa’s librarians have learned what helps their customers. Ottawa’ libraries have also developed programs that can help newcomers, such as workshops on English conversation and career devel-opment.

Dewar said the networking event successfully matched people with the information they need if they decide to go into business for themselves.

“It’s not just about different levels of government putting out programs, but making sure they make sense,” he said.

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson encouraged visitors to get in touch with Invest Ottawa; what he called one-stop shop-ping for businesspeople. The offi ce at 80 Aberdeen St. can provide advice and arrange contacts within the provincial and federal governments.

Invest Ottawa can be con-tacted at investottawa.ca or 613-828-6274.

Every day back in the ’30s, according to Mother, was a day of thanksgiving. Look-

ing back, there was indeed much to be thankful for. And as Thanksgiving is upon us, perhaps it is appropriate that those things we took for grant-ed so many years ago, should be remembered.

So what are some of the memories of those Depres-sion years that have lasted through the decades? Those that in recalling them have me wondering what has happened to what we took for granted so long ago? Let me turn back the clock and take you back to a more gentle time, as I recall with thankfulness lessons learned and a way of life that was more safe and secure.

I will be forever grateful that I lived in a time when it was perfectly safe to walk fi ve kilometres of back country roads to a school without fear. Even in the cities so far away children felt secure and a mother’s warning was not to be wary of strangers, but rath-er to keep out of the ditches of water so that we wouldn’t catch our deaths of cold.

I am thankful I lived in

an era where the owner of the general store trusted his customers. Where you fi lled your own bag of cookies, put it on the scale yourself and had the cost added to your mother’s bill which hung on a nail behind the counter.

And if you didn’t have the money to pay for your grocer-ies, you could offer a trade. Sometimes weeks would go by and no money changed hands. It was a time when a young child was taught that honesty was all a part of doing business.

I am thankful today that I grew up in an era where a deal was made with the simple shake of a hand and it was binding. It didn’t take a lawyer to draw up papers to trade a couple head of cattle for an old Model T or a load of hay or to exchange a steer or a few loads of gravel for

your fi rst car.Today, I am thankful I

grew up in a home where there wasn’t a lot of money for frivolities. It was a time when we children made our own fun. Toys from a piece of whittled wood, playthings like empty spools of thread, a but-ton box and Eaton’s catalogue, all fi lling hours of fun and not costing a penny.

I am thankful today that because we lived in a house overfl owing with aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandpar-ents, I learned at an early age what it meant to be tolerant. I was taught that it was more blessed to give than receive. In giving up our bed for an elderly aunt, Mother reminded us how the aunt enriched our lives with her stories, her hand-knitted mitts, and pans of Johnny Cake, the best I have ever tasted.

Today, I am thankful we had a wonderful doctor who would drive out from Ren-frew, plowing through snow and blinding rain and whose only pay might be a dressed chicken or a couple dozen eggs and some fresh butter.

I remember him sitting by the bed of a very sick little girl until the dawn crept into my bedroom window and my fever broke.

I am thankful today that I grew up in a home where every child had a special worth. Where even the young-est was made to feel important and daily chores, done to a parent’s satisfaction, was all part of growing up. We were taught that it was all right to fail, and that from each failure came a lesson.

This is the legacy handed down to us by a generation of people who, although never rich in material wealth, were rich in the things that mattered. This is the time to be thankful for that era that made us what we are today and to be truly thankful for all the blessings we enjoy today living in a free and bountiful country. May each of you have a happy Thanksgiving.

Plenty to be thankful for this time of yearMARY COOK

Mary Cook’s Memories

Brier [email protected]

EMC news - An Orléans woman got a good deed paid forward when a local compa-ny agreed to recertify her fi rst aid training for free after she told them about her life-sav-ing efforts only days earlier.

Linda Verreault, who lives in Charlemagne village, was contacted by the Community CPR and Prevention Project to see about recertifying her skills, but told the company that the cost was too steep.

“I simply don’t have the money right now,” she said she told the representative on the phone. Verreault, who works with children and adults with various disabili-ties and has used her fi rst aid training while at work, is cur-rently working part-time.

But after she told the rep she had used skills she learned in a previous CPR certifi cation course to help save a child’s life just days earlier, the rep tried to see what could be done.

Verreault then got a call saying the company would let her take the certifi cation course for free.

“She said, ‘Tell you what, I’ll talk to my boss and I’ll call you back,’” Verreault said on Sept. 18. “So I start tonight, a free CPR course. They said they’re paying it forward.”

Verreault said she was shopping at the St. Laurent Centre when a woman start-ed screaming that her small child had stopped breathing. Verreault, then in a change room, quickly threw on her clothes and ran out to see what was happening.

The child had a very high temperature and started hav-

ing a seizure. She used cloth to cool down his body tem-perature and stop the seizure.

She said when the para-medics arrived, his tempera-ture was 103.

“He told me, ‘Lady, you saved his life. If you hadn’t brought down the tempera-ture, he would have had a sec-ond seizure. He could have had permanent brain damage, or would have died.’”

Verreault thinks it’s impor-tant that citizens take advan-tage of courses, like the one she is now taking in Black-burn Hamlet.

“We were very happy when he heard it, and we were hap-py to help,” said Serge Leduc of Community CPR Project. “First aid, that’s all it’s about, saving lives. Sometimes it doesn’t take much.”

Leduc said he encourages citizens to take a course and familiarize themselves with CPR, fi rst aid and defi brilla-tor procedures no matter who teaches the course.

He said that fi ve minutes of proper fi rst aid can be the difference between life and death.

The Community CPR Project offers courses and has a foundation to provide subsidized or free training for low-income participants.

“No one should have any obstacles to taking those classes,” Leduc said. “People like Linda who are willing to make the move, that’s what we need.”

City of Ottawa fi rst aid courses can be found online at http://ottawa.ca/en/health_safety/emergency/firstaid/courses/index.html and Com-munity CPR Project can be reached at 613-700-5164 or by email at [email protected].

Sweet chop suey loaf is far from Chinese fare

On one of our visits to Jeff’s parents, his mother and I went shopping

in the local supermarket. In the bakery section, we came across a loaf of bread called a chop suey loaf. We could see that it contained fruit, not Chi-nese vegetables, and decided to give it a try.

With a soft texture and bits of candied fruit scattered through each slice, it was deli-cious, plain or toasted. After some experimenting when I got home, I came up with a similar loaf that I could make in my bread machine.

To make this, use the diced candied fruit that you use in holiday baking.

The recipe calls for skim milk powder and water. In some recipes, you can sub-stitute milk for the dry milk powder, but not in this one. Milk makes the loaf dense, while the skim milk powder gives a much lighter texture.

CHOP SUEY LOAF

• 3/4 cup water• 1/4 cup skim milk powder• 1 egg• 1 tsp. salt• 1 tbsp. white sugar• 2 tbsp. butter or margarine, at

room temperature• 2 1/3 cups fl our• 1 cup candied fruit• 1/4 cup raisins• 1 1/4 tsp. bread machine yeast

Before you start, measure the candied fruit into a sieve and rinse it under cold water to remove excess sugar or syrup. Spread the fruit on two sheets of paper towel and blot up as much of the water as you can. Set aside.

If your machine has an “extras” option allowing the user to add fruit or nuts automatically, measure the raisins into that section. If it doesn’t, you will have to add the raisins later.

Place the water, milk pow-der, egg, salt, sugar and butter in the bread machine pan in that order.

After measuring the fl our, use about two tablespoons of it to lightly dust the candied fruit.

Place the remaining fl our in the bread pan and then add the fl oured fruit. Leave a small area free of fruit, and measure the yeast into that spot – you don’t want the yeast sticking to the fruit and not mixing into the batter.

Set the bread machine for the “sweet” cycle or on some machines it’s called the “fruit and nut” cycle. If it has the au-tomatic “extras” feature, press the “extras” button. Don’t use the “delay” cycle.

This recipe makes a 1.5-pound loaf. If your bread machine has a setting for dif-ferent loaf sizes, press the one for this size.

Start the machine. If your machine doesn’t have the “ex-tras” feature, it will beep when it is time to add extras.

Add the raisins and let the machine continue until the bread is done. Remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool for an hour before serv-ing.

Councillor Community Update

With the little ones headed back to school, ensuring that we take our time on the streets is important.

On August 31, 2012 I had the opportunity to ride along with Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau. As we toured the ward we noted many of the issues about which you have been emailing or phoning my office.

Speeding tops off the list, and I ask that you drive prudently and observe the speed limits and signs to ensure the safety of others.

Police will be visible in the community over the next weeks and will issue tickets to speeders, especially in school zones.

Sensplex East

In my last community update I mentioned the fact that we were looking for commu-nity partners in building a recreation com-plex in the east end of the city.

As you probably are aware by now, the Ottawa Community Ice Partners (in asso-ciation with the Ottawa Senators), the same partnership which brought us the Sensplex in Kanata have stepped forward and see an opportunity in the east, in Beacon Hill dubbed the 'Sensplex East'.

It's still very early in the process, however we are working to get the best deal for residents, and will keep you up to date on progress.

I have received a number of inquiries regarding Shoppers City East. At this time the City has had no applications for development nor have they been in discussions with the property owners.

Should you wish to be apprised of any future plans at this location, visit www.beaconhillcyrville.ca and if we do receive any applications you will be advised.

As always, it is a privilege to serve the communities of Beacon Hill-Cyrville and I look forward to meeting you in the neighbourhood. R

EMC community - Ot-tawa women who have made the journey from being dis-enfranchised to leading city-hall consultation groups want to tell you their secrets.

Members of the City for All Women Initiative are a diverse group of women with varying cultural backgrounds, many of whom are refugees or have overcome abuse and now hold an ear at city hall. They have worked on a con-sultation strategy for the city’s recreation master plan, which is underway, and they helped develop an equity and inclusion lens that is used to judge how city reports ad-dress diversity and inclusion issues.

The initiative’s latest proj-ect is a new book, Community Facilitation Guide: Weaving Threads of Change.

Members know better than anyone that encouraging change at city hall is as much of an art as a science.

“Now in the City of Ot-tawa there are many changes

in policies,” said Valerie As-soi, a staffer for the initiative who helped author the book. “When there in change in pol-icies, the city wants to know what the community feels … How (is city hall) going to know that if they don’t have people there (in the commu-nity)?”

That’s where the City for All Women Initiative’s train-ing – and the book – come in. While the city may not have the resources to reach out to every facet of the commu-nity, the initiative can train and give people the skills to become facilitators in their communities and take those issues to city hall and deci-sion makers.

After refi ning their ap-proach through community facilitator workshops run by the initiative starting in 2010, the members decided to com-pile their knowledge into a practical guide in order to offer it to other community-based organizations, govern-ments and companies that want to learn how to facilitate community engagement and build skills at the grassroots level.

“This is helping to empow-er ourselves, our communi-ties and future generations,” said Tina Viscent, one of the book’s authors.

The book provides an overview of the initiative’s approach to social change education and includes tips, exercises and handouts for fa-cilitating workshops.

Most importantly to the City for All Women Initia-tive, the guide offers straight-forward and practical tools for including the voices of a diverse population, includ-ing immigrants, aboriginal peoples, francophone, people with disabilities and those liv-ing in poverty.

“This book is the story of threading all of the experi-ences of the people who con-tributed,” said Terri-Lee Ray-vals-Mele, one of the authors who contributed to the guide. “It is a weaving of diversity, expertise and learning.”

Community engagement professionals who had a hand in advising the project said they were very impressed by the practicality of the book and the level of detail.

Aaron Burry, the city’s general manager of com-munity and social services, said the initiative’s approach has proved benefi cial for the city and he is happy to see the guide made available to other groups who could have the same impact thanks to the initiative’s advice.

“We have had a chance to

try really innovative forms of community consultation in partnership with CAWI,” Burry said.

Aleksandra Milosevic, a community developer at the Centertown Community Health Centre, said the guide has really excited her fellow

community development pro-fessionals across the fi eld.

“I fl ipped through it and I’m already ecstatic,” she said. “Looking at it, I see lots of possibility. It is truly a gift of learning.”

Status of Women Canada and the Communications, En-

ergy and Paperworkers Union provided seed funding to print the books, but the initiative is relying on book sales to pro-duce more and make it widely available.Print copies in Eng-lish or French are available for $20 through the website at www.cawi-ivtf.org.

My name is Luke. I am a 5 year old, adopted by the Arnold-Martindale family recently. I love going on walks, “singing” to my family when they walk in the front door, stealing

muffin wrappers, and harassing my new pug brother, Matzoh. I love my new life!

This neutered male, brindle coloured Doberman Pinscher/Boxer mix is approximately 8 months old. He was brought to the shelter as a stray on August 28, 2012 and is now looking for a forever home.

Target enjoys playing with his canine pals and would be happy in a home with another dog, provided they don’t mind that he’s still learning how to share toys.

He has lots of energy and is in search of a family that can help him expend that energy. A tired dog is a good dog! He gets along well with children 12 years and older who have grown with dogs and understand that he’s not done his training yet.

Target will need crate training as well to keep him secure and items safe when he is unattended. His obedience training must be continued, and at this stage of training apartment living is not recommended for him.

Barking: Why Dogs Sound Off

Dogs have a lot to say, and they do it by barking. They bark to go out, come in, to tell you a stranger’s in your yard, and at people, cars, and other animals. Too much barking or barking at inappropriate times can be a problem. You want to be respectful of your neighbours as well as local laws, so you need to get your dog’s barking under control.

Reasons for barking

You may need to do some clever detective work to determine why your dog barks, especially if it occurs when you’re not home. Ask your neighbours what they see and hear. Go around the block and watch and listen, or start a tape recorder or video camera when

you leave for work. You should be able to find out which of the common problems discussed below is the cause of your dog’s barking.

Attention: Your dog wants to eat, go outside or wants your undivided attention.

Boredom/Frustration: If your dog is left outside day and night, crated or confined to one room all the time.

Fear: your dog is afraid of objects, people, places, other animals, or loud noises such as thunder and fireworks. Your dog’s posture can tell you if he’s barking out of fear. Typically his ears are back, and his tail is held low.

Territorial: If your dog barks in the presence of “intruders,”

which may include people and other dogs in adjacent yards, his posture appears threatening with his tail held high and his ears up and forward.

Play and Excitement: If your dog is barking with a wagging tail wanting to greet people in a friendly way.

Health: Older dogs may have Canine Cognitive Dysfunction or deafness – and may bark because they are unable to hear themselves.

Dogs with health issues

Some dogs bark because of age-related dementia or deafness. Be patient with your dog. Keep his environment simple and orderly; don’t make frequent changes. Talk to your vet about medications that may

help the dementia. Teach your deaf dog the “quiet” command using hand signals or a flash of light or a vibrating collar (NOT a shock collar) as the cue instead of saying the word “quiet.”

If you have multiple dogs

If you share your home and your life with more than one dog, you know how they can set each other off. The doorbell rings and deafening, out-of-control barking ensues. You must train each dog individually before you can work with them as a group. It takes a little more effort to settle your pack of wild hounds, but you’ll be rewarded with a group of well-mannered dogs. And your friends and relatives will no longer dread coming to your house!

This neutered male, chocolate Labrador Retriever is about 3 years old. He was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on July 26, 2012.

Tank loves to play with his toys! He’s still learning to play more gently with them, but he could play all day long. Tank has a busy body and an active mind, so he requires more demanding exercise and mental stimulation to keep him respectful in his home.

For now, Tank should be in an adult-only home until he has some additional training.

He’d rather not live with other dogs, but he has lived with a cat. Tank will need to be enrolled in obedience classes before his adoption can be completed. This will ensure he has the proper structure and discipline needed to be a good canine citizen.

EMC news - One Vanier resident aims to bring the community together one bul-letin board at a time.

Stefan Cherry announced his idea of creating a wooden and Plexiglas encased com-munity bulletin boards at the Sept. 10 Vanier Community Association meeting. The goal is to reach out to residents who are not always sitting in front of a computer, where most of the association’s an-nouncements are made via a website or Facebook page. Board members and residents both agreed the idea was in-teresting.

“They would be neighbour-hood community boards, where people could post events and share news with the communi-ty,” Cherry said. “It is another

way of getting communication out, it is about reaching out to people who at the moment we aren’t reaching.”

Association board member Gyulia Borbely agreed the idea could work.

“If there were boards I would defi nitely be interested in being one of the caretak-ers,” Borbely said.

Cherry said the boards will also offer a cleaner, more con-trolled option to spread Vani-er’s news.

The idea is to have a lock and key for the community bulletin boards, to ensure fl y-ers and posters can be posted and remain posted until the event is complete. With the association impressed with the idea, Cherry attended the Vanier Beautifi cation meeting on Sept. 18 for input from that group’s members.

The feedback he received,

again, was all positive. The goal is to have the

community boards built at minimal costs by enlisting the help and talents of local high school students. Cherry said he fl oated the idea to Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School in the winter, where students were keen to participate hav-ing already participated in building community garden boxes for Vanier in the spring.

Early in the progress of get-ting the word out, Cherry has taken it upon himself to speak to some of the recreation cen-tres in the neighbourhood, in-cluding the Richelieu-Vanier Community Centre, which, he reported was very interested in the idea.

“They said we could have one somewhere in the park,” he said.

The next step for Cherry is to meet with Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury to for-mally present the idea. The goal is to build one, monitor its success, and build more from there.
