Giroux skates onto video game coverBrier [email protected]

EMC news - Orleans’ Claude Giroux, who plays in the NHL for the Philadel-phia Flyers, has been chosen to be on the cover of the EA Sports video game NHL 13.

The popular video game held a contest

to chose who would be their next cover boy.

“The support fans have given me throughout the campaign has been unbe-lievable,” said Giroux in a press release. “I am very excited to be on the cover of NHL 13 and I want to thank everyone who campaigned and voted for me – es-pecially my teammates, the Flyers orga-

nization, and of course all the NHL fans who voted and tweeted.”

The cover spot was announced that the former Cumberland Grads player won the honours during the 2012 NHL Awards in Los Angeles on June 20, beating out run-ner up, Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne. The video game will be released in September.

EMC news – People who live near two potential sites for a waste and recycling cen-tre think the idea stinks.

At the first of two open houses to discuss plans for the Carlsbad Springs and Russell areas, concerns about commu-nity reaction prompted plain-clothes police to take up loca-tions in Russell Arena.

“The last one got rowdy,” said Nigel Guilford, a repre-sentative of the consortium proposing a waste centre said of a previous community meeting.

Coun. Stephen Blais said he expected a large and passion-ate crowd at the second open house, planned for June 25 in Navan.

The original proposed site for the Capital Region Re-sources Recovery Centre was in Russell, but several weeks ago a second possible site was announced near Carlsbad Springs, within Ottawa’s bor-ders.

A Taggart-Miller landfill and recycling facility would target commercial waste, and company representatives at the open house outlined the differ-ent methods used to process organic waste.

“It’s definitely not some-thing I…want to be working on, that’s for sure,” said Blais. “It caught everyone at city hall off guard.”

The Taggart-Miller con-sortium considered sites in the east end of Ottawa, said Guilford, general manager at Miller Waste Systems.

The open house presented the company’s answers to

concerns that included groundwater and traffic.

“As long as they are properly de-signed and properly operated, there is no risk (of groundwater contami-nation),” Guilford said.

Residents were also concerned about the amount of waste passing through the facility. People at the open house were told that 10 to 20 trucks per hour would pass through the centre. Taggart-Miller expects the centre to be open 300 days a year, with 1,000 to 1,500 tonnes of material received each day.

The consortium expects to recy-cle 30 to 40 per cent of the waste. That means the landfill could rise 18 to 25 metres above ground level.

The site would only receive solid, non-hazardous waste from construc-tion projects, businesses and insti-tutions like schools. That includes paper, asphalt shingles, concrete, wood and metals, as well as con-taminated and surplus soils.

Guilford said there are benefits to the community, including about 30 new full-time jobs.

He said it will be at least four years before the facility is opened. The company is expecting a 25- to 30-year lifespan for the facility.

Taggart-Miller is currently work-ing on the terms of reference for an environmental assessment. If the Carlsbad site is selected, a full

environmental assessment will be required before the city’s planning department considers the proposal.

The process to ask the city for an official plan amendment would take up to 18 months, Blais said. An urban planner would take into con-sideration if the piece of land is ap-propriate, including the impact on neighbours.

“I don’t think a lot of people would like something like this,” Blais said.

WATER AND AIR

Residents at the Russell meeting were not convinced that there was no chance of a slip-up.

Russell resident Denis Charron said he’s accepted that the waste centre will be built at one of the sites but he thinks it needs to be in a completely enclosed environment.

He came to the meeting to see what answers would be presented, but wasn’t convinced there was a guarantee against groundwater con-tamination and the promised odour control.

A Carlsbad Springs resident, Josh St. Jacques, said the landfill would be allowed “over my dead body” at a meeting he called to organize resi-dents prior to the open houses.

“If all of us band together, the shovels won’t even hit the ground,” he told the group.

Cardinal Creek rock face may get heritage protectionBrier [email protected]

EMC news - A unique en-vironmental feature in the Cardinal Creek area may gain an extra layer of protection in the City of Ottawa’s offi cial plan.

The proposed amendments to the offi cial plan is to in-clude the area as a natural heritage system overlay.

Cardinal Creek has a karst, a rock face that has undergone some unique transformations because of the type of rock.

The transformations often form caves, sinkholes, springs and waterfalls.

The Cardinal Creek karst, which is 340 metres long, is on the south side of Watters Road, east of Everlasting Crescent and west of the ur-ban boundary.

This karst features caves and a waterfall, though they are not publicly accessible.

The karst is already part of an environmental protec-tion zone for the city, which means development can only occur within 120 metres of the zone if there no negative impact to the karst.

The additional designation in the offi cial plan would not make any changes to what can or cannot be done in the area.

“For the sake of consisten-cy with the offi cial plan, we want to bring this forward,” said city senior planner Nick Stow.

The southern part of the karst has already been desig-

nated by the Ministry of Nat-ural Resources as an area of

natural and scientifi c interest, but Cardinal Creek residents

are hoping the entire forma-tion will be encompassed.

A building permit has been issued within 100 metres of the environmental protection zone, but in land zoned as rural.

Coun. Stephen Blais said he was not aware of any de-velopment applications that have come through for the area.

“The more protection we can get the better,” said Car-dinal Creek resident Martin d’Anjou.

Watters Road crosses through a portion of the karst and d’Anjou said more pro-tection against the road being more heavily developed or widening would help protect the area.

“There are schools nearby that could use it,” he said of the natural feature. “But if this is not protected, some-thing could just destroy the value.”

Cardinal Creek Communi-ty Association president Sean Crossan wants the entire karst to be protected by the Minis-try of Natural Resources as well.

He said it would help if the surrounding lands were named as parkland by the city, and has urged city offi cials to make changes in the offi cial plan amendment.

The amendments to the of-fi cial plan to include the area as a natural heritage system overlay will go to the plan-ning committee in the fall.

Solidering on at Relay for LifeThe team Toy Soldiers are joined by some real military staff during the Orleans Relay for Life event at Millennium Park on June 15. The event ran from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. and included luminaries, games, live music and snacks throughout the night, as brightly dressed walkers and runners did 12 hours of laps.


EMC news - The Orleans Chamber of Commerce has grown by 20 per cent since November, said outgoing chairman David Chadala.

The number of businesses that have joined in that time is about 40, he said.

The increase resulted in hiring an executive director, Jamie McDonald, in April, to organize more events and meetings with government offi cials.

“There are always chal-lenges with protecting our commercial lands,” Chadala said of meetings with public offi cials. “We’re concerned about transportation issues, fi nding new businesses to come to Orleans, basically setting the scene.”

He said the chamber would like to see the city make it easier to get through the pa-perwork and “red tape” to start a new business.

He is encouraged by the growth of the chamber and said he looks forward to see-ing it continue to grow in the hands of the new chairperson as he leaves behind several successful years working with members and the board.

The new chair will be elect-ed at the next board meeting in July.

Orleans Chamber growing steadily

EMC news - Drivers suf-fering from price fatigue when fi lling up can get some relief by measuring their tire pressures monthly to ensure they are properly infl ated.

Canadian drivers will pay an estimated $703 million in unnecessary fuel bills in 2012 simply because one or

more of their tires are under-infl ated, according to data from Natural Resources Can-ada and the Rubber Associa-tion of Canada (RAC), which represents tire makers.

This year alone under-in-fl ated tires will cause motor-ists to waste an estimated 533 million litres of fuel – enough

to power 275,000 vehicles for a full year. This needless fuel consumption will also release an additional 1.2 mil-lion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

A tire that is under-infl ated does not roll as smoothly or as easily as it was intended.

The result is increased rolling resistance, which re-quires the vehicle to burn more fuel to push the tire down the road.

According to research, one third of Canada’s 20 million automobiles have at least one under-infl ated tire.

A motorist riding on un-der-infl ated tires who annu-ally drives 20,000 kilometers, for example, can save at least $100 at the pumps if they en-sure their tires are infl ated to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended level.

Despite these benefi ts,

only 30 per cent of Canadi-an drivers measure their tire pressures monthly.

BETTER TIRES

“Canadian drivers have never been better positioned to put a dent in their fuel bills,” says Glenn Maidment, president of the RAC. “Low rolling resistance tires, par-ticularly when used in com-bination with a disciplined approach to proper tire infl a-tion and maintenance, offer tangible savings.”

Measuring and adjust-ing tire pressure is an easy, four step process that takes no more than fi ve minutes. Here’s how:

• Find the right infl ation pressure by wheel position on the vehicle placard, which is commonly located on one of the vehicle’s inside door

posts, or inside the glove compartment or fuel door.

• Remember to only mea-sure pressure when the tires are cold. If you have been driving, wait three hours be-fore measuring tire pressure or the reading will be inac-curate.

• Use a reliable tire gauge when measuring pressure. A visual inspection is not an ef-fective way of measuring tire pressure.

• Remove the cap from the valve stem, press the tire gauge onto the valve and take the pressure reading.

• Add air until the rec-ommended air pressure is achieved. If you overfi ll the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the cen-tre of the valve, then remea-sure the pressure.

Declare war on high prices at the pumps

The best way to end the On-tario school system’s reli-ance on fundraising is to pour more money into pub-

lic education, parents, teachers and critics say.

“We are getting increasingly (to be) a two-tiered education system,” says NDP education critic Peter Tabuns. “That speaks to the need for adequate funding of the education system so parents don’t feel com-pelled to raise money.”

Fundraising Fever, a Metroland Special Report, shows that concerns about overuse of fundraising – and the disparities it creates – are grow-ing province-wide.

Potential solutions also include a proposal by the advocacy group People for Education, which wants a provincial Equity in Education grant created to reduce inequities triggered by fundraising. School boards are pushing for an evaluation of provin-cial education funding to determine whether the current model is fair to all students.

“The pressure to fundraise will only grow as boards try to meet the austerity measures of provincial gov-ernments,” says Catherine Fife, pres-ident of the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association. “We can’t go to our parent councils or school coun-cils and keep asking for money.”

There’s no question money is tight. The McGuinty government is starting consultations this fall to cut $10 million from school board ad-ministration budgets by 2013-14.

Progressive Conservative educa-tion critic Lisa MacLeod says there is a lot of waste in the system and boards don’t always spend their funding appropriately. “They’ll claim they have no money, but are they managing the money effective-ly?” she asks.

Some groups, including Social Planning Toronto, believe fundrais-ing should be banned outright, ex-cept for raising dollars for external charities.

“I’d rather not have it,” says Chris Ellis, who sits on four school coun-cils in Ottawa. “I’d like for schools to not be able to raise funds for their own use so then parents in those af-fl uent areas might become involved and speak up for greater funding for the education system.”

The Coalition Against Public School Inequality suggests a cap on school fundraising. A percentage of each school’s profi ts above and beyond the limit would go into an equalization fund to help disadvan-taged schools.

But the Ontario Federation of Home and School Associations says a limit would be too restrictive.

“We actually don’t want some-body to say you have to stop here. It’s up to the parents to decide how much they want to do or whether they’ve had enough,” says Lee Gow-

ers, president of the group.Raising taxes would be a con-

troversial solution, but “that’s how you address inequity, unpopularly through taxes,” says Annie Kidder, executive director of People for Edu-cation. “At some point, we have to bite the bullet and go, ‘That’s what taxes pay for.’ If we want our kids to have books in their libraries, we have to pay taxes.”

Critics say the province should outline exactly what materials, activ-ities and programs should be avail-able – at no cost to parents – in all Ontario schools. Currently, it’s OK to raise funds for library books, gym equipment and musical instruments.

“You need to start with the pol-icy and the vision and laying out concretely what should be there in schools,” says Kidder. “Then you start talking about how you fund it to ensure it’s fair and equitable.”

There is also interest in a board-wide mentorship program where suc-cessful fundraising schools partner with those that need a hand, helping to reduce the gap in funds raised.

“To me, that’s how successful fundraising can be done, really shar-ing the best practices,” says parent Roxanne Horwitz, who sits on the St. Bernadette Catholic School council in Ajax

Education foundations across the province continue to play a role, helping to reduce inequities in op-portunity between well-off and disadvantaged schools. There is no severe pressure on schools to raise funds for things like fi eld trips be-cause many foundations will cover those costs.

“Having a central education foun-dation completely changes the land-scape for children in a city,” says Jane Fulton, executive director of the Education Foundation of Ottawa. “We make sure that no student is left out.”

Small businesses and large cor-porations continue to work to bridge the gap by providing donations and incentive programs.

“That’s what we are counting on, businesses in the community,” says Luce Paradis, principal at Assump-tion Catholic School in Ottawa. The school is located in a low-income area and doesn’t usually host fund-raisers. Without corporate donations, it wouldn’t be able to reach its goal of $50,000 for a new play structure. “We have to outsource a little bit.”

The Campbell’s Labels For Edu-cation program, for example, invites schools to collect labels from Camp-bell’s products, such as soup cans and Goldfi sh crackers, and redeem them for educational resources from books to gym equipment. A number of other companies, such as Chap-ters, Boston Pizza and McDonald’s, host special events that encourage parents to purchase their products and then give a portion of sales back to local schools.

Others, such as the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, be-lieve businesses don’t belong in pub-lic schools.

“It’s a tempting road because it’s a quick fi x to the funding situation,” says Kawartha Pine Ridge ETFO president David Wing. “Children are already bombarded enough with commercial messages.”

nadians are well aware of the Olympics, and will don Team Canada’s new 2012 Olympic Games gear come July 1.

But all commercial inter-ests aside, Canada Day is a prime date to start gearing up for the upcoming Games.

Many of our athletes will

likely refrain from an all-day, beer and barbecue celebra-tion; most will spend at least a portion of the day training for one of the biggest com-petitions of their lives, less than a month away.

We love Canada, and you’ll be hard pressed to fi nd anyone who doesn’t look forward to the day where we celebrate all things Canadian.

And that includes our ath-

letes on the road to London. Canada Day is the perfect

time to fi nd your local athletes to cheer on at the Olympics. We can let our pride and excitement carry us through to the July 27 opening ceremonies.

The Olympic Games are almost as patriotic as July 1 itself, with our athletes proudly wearing the country’s colours on an inter-national stage.

When they march into the stadium for the open-ing ceremonies, there’s an excitement that comes alive that even a packed nation’s capital and fi reworks can’t always reach.

We’re proud to be Cana-dian when among an interna-tional crowd, and it’s a great thing to be able to support so many athletes abroad.

When we can quantify being the best in the world at

something, it helps pump up some national pride.

The celebration is a great time to not only refl ect on the opportunities that we are given as Canadians, but to engage with our Olympic teams and start thinking ahead.

So this Canada Day, think about the athletes who are training to represent us and who will wear the maple leaf in a few short weeks.

We’ve got our own web-site at www.yourottawaregion.com that identifi es Ontario and Ottawa-based Olympians that we’re excited to follow, and with Canada Day coming, we’re even more amped to see them achieve their dreams.

Let’s get behind them and keep our patriotic spirits up as we count down the days until the London 2012 Olym-pic Games.

As usual, Canada Day will be a microcosm of our country. People will head off to the lakes to fi nd some peace and quiet, or they may

hop onto some noisy device when they get there, disturbing other people’s peace and quiet. People will congregate with thousands of other people in downtown Ottawa. They will sol-emnly celebrate our country’s 145 years or they will party like crazy and leave a mess.

If they are a bit more scholarly, they might visit a museum to learn more about their coun-try (amazingly, in this time of cutbacks, the museums are open). Or, being Canadians, they may ignore the whole thing and drive into the United States to do some shopping.

It’s what makes this country great, the fact that there is no one way to do things, even on our national holiday. Not that this hasn’t been said before. In fact, it’s hard to fi nd anything to say about Canada that hasn’t been said before on Canada Day by some Canadian.

Most of it has been pretty admiring. Canada Day gives us the opportunity to admire our-selves and there is much to admire, not all of it scenic. One of the things we admire is that fact that we don’t tend to be a self-admiring nation. Canadians are their own worst critics, and whenever someone in a foreign country writes something critical about Canada he will fi nd many Canadians eager to agree with him.

Obviously, this isn’t all to the good. Just as it is not ideal to be chest-thumping patriots, un-willing to recognize any national faults, it’s not ideal either to be so envious of other countries that we can’t see the virtues in our own.

You know the bit about how Canadians are boring (especially in Ottawa). Many Canadians seem all too willing to buy into that. Yet there’s something to be said for a little boredom, if it means safe streets, no civil war, no mass starva-tion.

Having said all that, what’s new to say about this Canada Day? Well, we have economic woes, which we’ve had before. In the capital, we face public service cutbacks, which we’ve seen before too. It’s hotter than usual, but then, it’s been hotter than usual before and we all always say we’ve never seen it this hot.

Sometimes it’s cooler than usual and we say we haven’t seen it this cool.

And there is more concern that climate change threatens the lakes, forests and oceans that defi ne us. That concern doesn’t seem to have penetrated the political level. But we have lived with that for a while too.

Same old, same old. One thing that feels different is that Canada Day seems less a time for national introspection than it used to be. In years gone by it was common for Canada Day to inspire a wave of earnest commentary seek-ing to defi ne Canada or, maybe worse, seeking to inspire others to defi ne Canada.

Defi ning Canada was a big national industry for a time. If you had a nickel for every time you saw the words “whither Canada,” you could balance the federal budget. Another op-portunity wasted.

For a while there we were so busy defi ning ourselves that we could barely look at the fi reworks but, fortunately, those days seem to have passed. We may be self-critical at times but we are also self-confi dent. We know that we have great innovators, great artists. We have great books and great music and we know that now. Not that we necessarily reward those who produce them. That comes next, perhaps.

We don’t worry any more that our kids won’t want to be Canadians. They have shown us that they do. The tricky part now is to create an economy and a social climate that will make them glad they stayed.

That thought wasn’t meant to spoil the party.

What’s a Canadian? What a question

Lower leg pain, commonly referred to as ‘shin splints’, is an overuse injury that irritates many a runner or athlete. Shin splint pain can be classified into four stages based on severity:1. Light pain or stiffness after exercise. 2. Pain at the beginning of exercise, disappearing during the warm-up. 3. Pain during and following exercise, and pain at night. Pain disappears after long rest and inactivity. 4. Constant pain. The pain does not disappear after rest.

Shin splints occur when excessive loading and stress is placed on the lower leg bone (tibia) during weight bearing

exercises such as walking, running or jumping without proper recovery. For example, if a triathlete takes a hiatus from running for 3 months and starts training again by running everyday for 5km without proper rest, their legs would likely not be able to handle the sudden increase in stress. When the body cannot strengthen the bone fast enough to keep up with the stress being placed on them, shin splints occur.

Other factors that may contribute to shin splints include flat feet, old shoes, running or walking on hard surfaces, tight calf muscles and weak ankle stabilizers. Preferred treatment for shin splints typically includes ice

and rest - depending on the stage of severity. A visit to your local family physiotherapist may help you speed up the process by providing you with appropriate exercises, run/walk programs, assisted stretches, electrical modalities and orthotics if indicated. Identifying and addressing the cause of the problem will help to avoid any future run-ins with pain!

Shin Splints: Running Into Problems?

LETTER

Bridge opposition fails common sense testTo the editor,

I have read with interest Mr. McNeely’s column in the Orleans EMC. I was surprised to read Mr. McNeely’s state-ment that “any bridge will increase the commute times to the downtown and westerly for Orleans residents.”

It does not pass the com-mon sense test and I was surprised at his deduction process (or lack of).

The LRT and the new bridge are two distinct projects that are desperately needed for the residents of the east-end. It is not one or the other because they serve different purposes.

The LRT is to help move traffi c from the east end to downtown and westerly, and a bridge in the east end is to move traffi c across the river to Gatineau without having to go downtown or use the

Queensway from the 417-174 split going west.

Money constraints can dictate the need to do one be-fore the other. These are two megaprojects. I can accept an argument about the construc-tion of the LRT before the bridge. That is fi ne and that is what elected offi cials have been elected to do. They must use their common sense and best judgement to make the better decision for residents of the east end.

I however object to Mr. McNeely using the argument that any bridge in the east end will increase the commute time downtown or westerly and inferring that a bridge is therefore not needed. With this false argument Mr. Mc-Neely pontifi cates that there is no real need for a bridge in the east end. It is irrespon-sible.

The addition of a bridge

in the east end (or east of the 417-174 split) will effectively eliminate the vehicles (trucks and cars) that are coming from Montreal or east on the 417 and going to Gatineau from using the Queensway or the roads downtown. The traffi c over the bridge will simply cross the 174 and not clog it. One does not need million-dollar studies to conclude this.

Yes the bridge will be in someone’s backyard and yes there will be a number of residents that will not like it, but for the good of the majority and for improving the economy of the east end a bridge is also needed. Elected offi cials must be able to make tough and often unpleasant decisions for the good of the province, the city or the majority.

LETTERPlastic bags a sensible choiceTo the editor,

Re: editorial “City should ban plastic bags to ease trash troubles,” June 14.

There are number of what I consider serious omissions or distortions of fact in that piece.

First and foremost, the City of Toronto has not banned all plastic bags – only grocery bags.

Stores will continue to sell plastic trash bags, which are signifi cantly more expensive to the consumer, use much more plastic per bag, and un-like many of the grocery bags in current use, are not biode-gradable. Toronto residents will be able to continue to use plastic trash bags to send their trash to the landfi lls.

Second, and more impor-tantly, impartial studies have shown that single-use plastic grocery bags have a smaller environmental footprint than any of the alternatives, with paper bags having three to nine times the total impact, and cotton bags 131 to 393 times the negative environ-mental impact (British Envi-ronment Agency, 2011).

In other words, that canvas grocery bag would need to be used 131 times to offset a single-use bag not reused. If that single-use bag is reused as a trash can liner, then the cotton bag would need to be used 327 times to have less environmental impact than the single-use plastic bag.

Imagine what that cotton bag would look like by use number 327 – most people would have replaced it long before then.

Of agricultural crops, cot-ton, used in the production of cloth reusable bags, requires among the largest amounts of fresh water, fertilizers, and insecticides – and that doesn’t take into account the environ-mental costs involved in the manufacturing process.

I consider myself an environmentalist and have since I was a teenager. But I also do my research thor-oughly, and try to make the wisest overall choices for the environment, as opposed to assuming the harm or benefi ts of various practices based on popular opinion or simplistic thinking, specifi cally the current notion that “all things

manufactured are evil, and all things that come from nature are good.”

I consider it ironic that the same people who are most vocal about “saving the trees” (which I am in favour of) are generally also at the head of the line to advocate paper bags over plastic, despite the loss of trees involved, and the overall greater associated environmental costs.

As a side note, the fi ve-cent charge for single-use plastic bags does seem to impact on the number used, and I know that I am not alone in having observed that at fi ve cents these bags cost a fraction of the kitchen garbage bags that people would be able to continue to buy under any bag ban. The amount of money I’ve saved by using single-use bags for trash disposal instead of Glad or other kitchen trash bags has offset the cost of paying for the grocery bags many times over – and most of the single-use bags I acquire are of the biodegradable type.

EMC entertainment - King Henry V is com-ing to town with an interesting and foolish twist.

The next production in the Torchlight Shake-speare series performed by Company of Fools will be Henry V, which will be appearing in parks across the city this summer, starting on July 2 at Strathcona Park in Sandy Hill.

In appropriate Fools fashion, the cast will feature four women and one man, who will be playing the only female role in the production.

Director Geoff McBride said it was a natural choice.

“Fools tend to take Shakespeare in a non-traditional role anyway,” he said. “There is a natural comedy to any sort of cross-dressing, even men dressing in female clothing. It also screws with the world a little bit and hopefully people will forget it is boys playing girls and girls playing boys and people will get sucked into the show.”

His desire to cast the roles in reverse also had to do with his desire to highlight some of Ottawa’s strong female actors.

“Ottawa has some very strong female actors and it seemed a shame to only offer them roles as a princess who gets married off for land and her lady in waiting,” McBride said.

Playing Henry is longtime company member Margo MacDonald.

“I’m thrilled to be able to embrace the chal-lenge of playing this role,” MacDonald said. “I’ve dreamed of playing Henry since the very fi rst year of the Fools, back when we performed scenes from the play on the streets of Ottawa.”

It was quite a while ago - 22 years to be pre-cise - that the company fi rst appeared on the Ot-tawa theatre scene.

With the role of Katherine, Orleans resident

Simon Bradshaw said is relishing the challenge of playing a woman.

“I think this is the fi rst time I have done a show with an otherwise all female cast, so I am very curiously looking forward to that,” Brad-shaw said. “Oh - and being a woman seduced by Margo MacDonald as a man, I can’t forget that!”

Spending time rehearsing at Algonquin Col-lege, gives the cast an opportunity to feed off each other and work on the play’s strengths and weaknesses, McBride said.

“The Fools have a great tradition of taking Shakespeare and making it fun and light and funny,” he said. “(And) it is a wonderful way to see Shakespeare, it was originally meant to be, outdoors.”

McBride added he loves directing outdoors, where restrictions such as walls or sounds or lights do not play a part.

“It is challenging and it is freeing at the same time,” McBride said. “You kind of lose your little intimate moments, but you get to do the grander, big things which tend to be ridiculous, which is the fun and purpose with the Fools.”The park performances have always encour-aged audience participation and this play will be no exception.

The production, McBride said, will feature blood, battle and love. The director will be arm-ing the audience with tennis balls to act as the English army.

“It will be a hail of tennis balls thrown from the audience to the French,” he said. “The au-dience will become the archery of the English army.”

The production runs until Aug. 18 and will travel to a number of locations throughout the city. For more information on the play or to see the full list of performance locations, visit the Company of Fools website at fools.ca.

Electricity consumers across Ontario are now billed using time of use rates. Under this new pricing structure, the price of electricity varies depending on when it is used.

“Customers can choose to make small changes to conserve energy or shift some of their consumption to lower price periods to save,” said Bryce Conrad, President and CEO of Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc.

Time of use rates align the price customers pay for electricity with real market prices, which change throughout the day based on supply and demand.

Electricity rates are lowest, or off-peak, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., on weekends and on statutory holidays.

In the summer, electricity rates are highest from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The on-peak periods are during the hottest part of the afternoon when air conditioners run the most.

“These rates give us all a financial incentive to reduce our electricity use, especially during peak periods,” said Conrad.

An easy way to trim peak demand is to set the timer on your dishwasher so it runs after 7 p.m.

Washing and drying a load of laundry during off-peak periods costs about 52 cents, while the same consumption during peak periods would cost 94 cents.

Hydro Ottawa’s online portal, MyHydroLink, allows customers to learn about their electricity consumption. This secure site shows customers a detailed breakdown of their electricity consumption, by the day, month or billing period.

“MyHydroLink truly provides our customers with a wealth of information,” said Conrad. “And now, this information is also available straight from your smartphone with our new mobile website at www.hydroottawa.com. We’re trying to make it easier for our customers to manage their electricity use.”

MyHydroLink customers can also view their account balance, bill payment history and even register for E-Billing. To set up your account, visit www.hydroottawa.com/myhydrolink.

EMC news - In order to en-courage increase participation in its annual campaign, the United Way Ottawa will be making big changes to their program this fall, placing less emphasis on specific dollar-figure goals and allowing for targeted fundraising.

After falling short of their 2011 campaign goal of $33 million, the organization said at its annual general meeting on June 19 that it will change the way it raises money this fall to allow for customized workplace campaigns. It will allow participating workplac-es to aim fundraising efforts towards specific community investments.

Likening campaign fund-ing to the music industry, president Michael Allen’s year end report indicated the organization needs to make changes to keep up with the constantly changing habits of today’s donor and the fight for donor dollars.

“We are trying to at least put ourselves on an equal footing,” Allen said.

The campaigns, which in the past have typically had large dollar goals attached, may even change Allen indi-cated.

“What we have learned from many United Ways who have gone and done this in the past is we have attached ourselves to a number and in fact people are not looking to attach to a number, but they are attached to a goal,” he said. “We will try and frame our goals around our prior-ity focused areas ... and you will see a different campaign structure in the fall.”

Bill Baker, chairman of the organization’s resource devel-opment committee, said this change will offer companies choices.

“We are moving from making the same impact to a customized one,” Baker said. “We are also looking at ways to expand the times that work-places can participate so that it works better for companies.”

Other strategies include in-vesting in front-line programs and services, looking at where investments have the most impact. It will also work with industries and communities in an effort to change the way the United Way reaches out to both donors and organizations in need.

“We have come a long way in the past 10 years, but we have a long way to go to live and move into our new vi-sion.” Allen said.

ChaNge iN fuNdiNg praCtiCes

Over the past two years, the United Way has changed the way it hands out funding, creating goal priorities and criteria to appeal to donors. This has in turn made secur-ing funding more difficult for some organizations in the city, because it involves meeting these new criteria, filling out proposals for funding, some-thing that is seen as being onerous by some long-time United Way funding recipi-ents.

Allen said the new system gives small organizations a chance to receive funding.

“We do think that, we know it is not perfect, but we need-ed to find a way to make sure the money we were investing were strongly aligned to the goals we have created,” Allen said.

But some organizations did not appreciate the new changes.

“(The) United Way was created to undertake the stress of fundraising,” Adele Mul-door, who donates to the or-ganization, said. “Now people are falling through the gaps. The work you are describing is fine work, but should be un-dertaken by the organizations

that have had funding cut.”At last year’s meeting,

some agencies, service pro-viders and donors raised con-cerns about the gaps in the new system.

In response to those con-cerns, the investment and im-pact review committee was formed and it issued a report on the new distribution of funds, making 37 recommen-dations on how United Way Ottawa should move forward.

The board of executives announced at the June 19 meeting that the organization would commit to following up on all 37 recommendations.

Ottawa Community Ac-tion, a coalition of community groups and agencies, raised the motion for the review and sat on the committee.

The was the first public set-ting where donors and orga-nizations could ask questions about the report.

Cathy Jordan, executive di-rector of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, said she was happy with the work the United Way and the committee have already done, but still felt the new funding criteria leaves behind orga-nizations that rely heavily on the United Way.

“Sometimes you don’t want to lose what has been built on in the past,” she said.

Allen said he hopes that stakeholders will have more confidence in the United Way once the recommendations are implemented and the results are there for all to see.

“We did not want the ex-ercise to be a white wash, but (shows) that we were serious about engaging those who wanted to understand the di-rection we were on,” he said. “(It was) not to diffuse what happened last year, but to show we were serious to ad-dress the issues.”

A full list of the recommen-dations and the board’s com-mitment to each proposal can be viewed on the website at unitedwayottawa.ca.

EMC news - A wide range of technical glitches, including soft-ware problems and faulty wiring on card readers, have stalled the launch of OC Transpo’s Presto smart card, meaning the new system won’t be ready until Feb. 1, 2013.

Originally scheduled to launch on July 1, the seven-month delay is the latest setback for the system that was aimed at replacing monthly passes, cash and eventually tickets.

While transit commission chair-woman Diane Deans had recently hinted that an Aug. 1 Presto launch was possible, officials from the To-ronto-based firm in charge of the smart card system faced a firing line at transit commission on June 20 when they announced that they would have to delay the launch until the new year.

And it looks like finding a Presto-based alternative to tickets or inves-tigating opportunities for cell-phone enabled “near field communication” payments won’t happen until well into the new year.

Mayor Jim Watson says he has no desire to push for those improve-ments to the system until after it is launched successfully.

basiC sYstem

“My view is let’s not add bells and whistles to the system until we get the base system working and op-erating to our satisfaction,” Watson said in an interview.

Social service agencies had com-plained that the city will be putting low-income residents and those who use social services at a disadvantage by making tickets a costlier option for each trip.

During a transit commission meeting on June 20, Deans repeat-edly asked Bruce McCuaig, chief executive of Metrolinx, the provin-cial agency that oversees the Presto program, to explain how Ottawa and OC Transpo could have confidence in the system given all the issues and delays.

McCuaig said the long delay is necessary to give time to work out the kinks. Rolling it out any earlier

could cause more issues, mainly due to the influx of university students returning in the fall.

The intervening period will give Metrolinx and the city time to work on restoring confidence in the sys-tem and convincing riders to use it despite the issues, McCuaig said.

Some transit commissioners weren’t convinced that will be easy.

“There is no confidence in the card now,” said Marianne Wilkinson, transit commissioner and councillor for Kanata North.

McCuaig said he appreciates that demonstrating reliability will be im-portant and a longer delay will help them ensure everything works and that the public has a good impres-sion of the system.

COsts

McCauig said Metrolinx is will-ing to offset the additional costs the delay will cause for the city, but they still don’t have complete informa-tion from OC Transpo of what all the financial implications could be.

That didn’t please transit com-

missioner Keith Egli, councillor for Knoxdale-Merivale.

“I don’t want the impact on our taxpayers lessened, I want it indem-nified,” he said.

Egli grilled McCuaig on that is-sue, getting him to confirm that “off-set” would mean a “dollar for dol-lar” refund.

Egli was one in a string of tran-sit commissioners who put the same pointed question to McCuaig: “What went wrong?”

Although Presto is already in use in some southern Ontario cities in Hamilton and the Greater Toronto Area, Ottawa will be the first to use the “second generation” Presto system that uses technology that hadn’t been tested in real-world situ-ations until the Ottawa pilot project launched in May.

But beyond faulty wiring and glitchy software that makes card readers display incorrect screens or even reboot when cards are tapped on them, serious customer service issues have also been identified at Presto’s call centre, including a lack of bilingual attendants.

The “white screen” issue, which happens when the readers won’t shut down properly or if they reboot un-expectedly, is proving to be tricky for Metrolinx and its technology provider, Accenture, to fix.

In retrospect, McCuaig said, it would have been advisable to have more field testing of the new system before putting it onto OC Transpo buses and a longer “fiends and fam-ily” pilot period to test the cards.

“We had high hopes for Presto,” said Mayor Jim Watson. “The mis-take made was that there should have been a longer period of testing. That didn’t happen.”

Deans was successful in passing motion at transit commission on June 20 asking OC Transpo to rein-state the EcoPass program for one year.

The discounted payroll reduction transit passes were cancelled, along with student passes for college stu-dents over age 19, to align Ottawa’s transit fares with the categories Metrolinx uses in Toronto, because users will be able to use the cards wherever Presto is in use.

Presto bus payment delayed until February

EMC news - Hydro One Networks will build an opera-tions centre outside of Navan on Frank Kenny Road which will employ 25 to 30 people.

Phase one of the project will be built this year as a tem-porary facility, but phase two will see a building expansion of 2,300 square metres.

24 jobs

Hydro One confirmed that there will be 24 jobs trans-ferred from other Hydro One centres to the new location, which will have space for ad-ditional growth.

It will be responsible for the installation, maintenance and repair for the power lines sur-rounding Orleans.

Coun. Stephen Blais said that currently, for repairs to happen in the area, Hydro One needs to send staff from Win-chester.

“When there are power out-ages, Orleans and Cumberland residents will be that much closer and can fix the problems much quicker,” Blais said.

EMC news – Adding more recycling bins to Ottawa’s streets is one idea that could form a new waste plan for the city.

Between now and Septem-ber, councillors will undergo consultations and decide which measures will be included in the 30-year waste plan.

“Everything’s on the table now,” said environment com-mittee chairwoman Maria McRae.

In the future, waste disposal plans will be mandatory in site plan applications, McRae said. The city also plans to start im-plementing more recycling on construction sites, with blue boxes and black boxes on all sites.

The city is also considering if recycling and sorting would be best undertaken by the city instead of paying someone else, which could result in building a municipal recycling facility in Ottawa.

The city’s vehicle needs may change if garbage and recycling pickup changes. Single-streamed collection – gathering both blue and black box materials at once

– is one of the options being evaluated.

“This summer’s about learn-ing and listening,” McRae said, emphasizing that every option is being considered over the next few months.

There are many small steps that are likely to be incorporat-ed, from waste disposal plans at festivals to simply put-ting out more recycling bins around the city.

Committee members want to keep the plan flexible and make it easy for residents to

recycle. Coun. Mathieu Fleury said

he wants the flexibility to in-clude new technology.

Coun. David Chernushenko said it’s important that when new technologies are released or become cost effective, Ot-tawa still has the option to implement them.

The waste plan will likely aim to identify people who aren’t using green bins and recycling and make those pro-grams easier to adopt.

“There is a huge sector of the community that’s not us-ing (the green bins),” McRae said. “And we need to know why.”

The plan would be updated

annually and revisited every five years, and has a focus on residential waste.

Meetings will be held over the summer months to deter-mine which options residents

like best.“Come spring of next year,

I hope council will have ap-proved the first decade of a 30-year waste plan,” McRae said.

FileGreen bins are one of the strategies the City of ottawa has used in the past years to decrease waste sent to landfills.

Councillors want plan to be flexible as technology is developed

Water main a city priorityBrier [email protected]

EMC news - The Orleans water main is a prime concern for the city, the environment committee heard on June 19 at city hall.

“The Orleans main is our number one priority,” said Shelley McDonald, program manager for water distribu-tion. “It’s at the top of the list.”

McDonald said that the project is being broken into 19 different sections, each with a unique plan.

The Orleans water main work is expected to increase

reliability and provide capac-ity for future development.

It has been scheduled as a priority because the work is needed for the light rail transit project and widening of High-way 417 from the Nicholas exit to the split, and concerns over age.

The secondary main, which runs between the Rideau Riv-er and St. Laurent Boulevard, needs to be moved before LRT construction can begin.

The primary water main to Orleans runs along Highway 417, Highway 174 and St. Jo-seph Boulevard.

The new water main’s west

link will extend north from Highway 417 to the Vanier Parkway and follow Coven-try Road east to St. Laurent Boulevard.

The east link will run east from Ogilvie Road and Blair Road to Montreal Road, then follow the northern edge of Highway 174 to Orleans through Youville Drive.

There could be some re-finements to the final align-ments through the design phase.

Both east and west links are to undergo construction in 2013, which could cause some traffic issues for drivers.


EMC news - Conservative education critic Lisa MacLeod was in Orleans on June 15 to discuss the creation of educational policy white papers with media.

She was joined by Ottawa-Orleans provin-cial Conservative candidate Andrew Lister and Orleans-Cumberland public board trustee John Shea

“Our core public services could collapse,” MacLeod said, if the education system remains as is.

She cited the Liberals rejecting changes rec-ommended in the Drummond Report as a start-ing point.

“We’re hearing there need to be improve-ments,” MacLeod said, citing a lack of ac-countability.

MacLeod said earlier in the day she had met with school boards, police and representatives from Algonquin College during the Ottawa stop on her 12-city tour.

The public consultations are part of a policy writing process, to result in the Conservatives releasing several white papers on education.

“It’s been wonderful to hear,” she said of the input.

MacLeod said the papers should be re-leased in the fall, unless an election is called.

She noted that the papers will not be party platform.

“After health care, education is the next pri-ority in Ottawa-Orleans,” said Lister. “There are lots of great ideas that haven’t been heard.”

“Everyone has a stake in it,” said Shea. “No one is exempt.”

Some of the feedback MacLeod said she heard in Ottawa included the presence of cyber-bullying, and concern about keeping schools open in areas of declining enrollment, and built in areas of “exploding enrollment” she said.

One of the items they discussed included building more community schools, similar to the attachment of John McCrae Second-ary School and Walter Baker Sports Centre in Nepean, or Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School and the Ray Friel Recreation Complex in Orleans.

“It’s a great way to leverage assets,” Ma-cLeod said. “There’s a lot of common sense and lots of willing and able partners.”

“It’s like comparing apples to oranges,” MacLeod said when asked education was in a better state when the Conservatives were in power. “That’s not the point. The point is looking forward.”

Beat the heat and stay safeEMC news - As the tem-

perature rises, the Red Cross reminds Canadians to stay cool, healthy and safe. While the summer season is a fa-vourite time of year for many, extensive exposure to extreme heat can result in serious med-ical conditions such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Heat-related emergencies include heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Children, the elderly and those with certain health conditions

are particularly susceptible. Check on friends and family members who may be iso-lated or unaware they are at risk.

The Red Cross offers the following tips to help you stay safe during hot weather.

• Drink plenty of cool flu-ids, but avoid caffeine and alcohol.

• Avoid being outdoors during the middle of the day, when the sun is at its stron-gest.

• Work and exercise in brief

periods. Take frequent breaks in a cool or shaded area.

• Dress in light, loose clothing. Wear a hat and sun-glasses.

• Wear sunscreen with a high sun protection factor.

Symptoms of heat cramps typically include muscle con-tractions, usually in the legs or abdomen. Heat exhaustion symptoms include moist, red or pale skin, nausea, and diz-ziness, while symptoms of heat stroke are more severe - red, hot and dry skin; irrita-

ble, bizarre or aggressive be-haviour; progressive loss of consciousness; rapid, weak pulse becoming irregular; and rapid, shallow breathing and seizures.

Anyone demonstrating signs of heat-related emer-gencies should be moved to a cool location and given cool water to sip and to apply to the skin. Call 911 for anyone showing significant signs of distress, losing conscious-ness or whose symptoms are becoming more severe.

EMC news - The Cumber-land Heritage Village Museum will remain open on Canada Day, with all the regular pro-grams and more open. Kids will get the chance to see how Canadian children celebrated Canada Day 80 years ago.

“We’re really excited about what’s happening,” said city cultural programmer Marcelle Kimberley. “We’re creating a 1930s environment where families can actually delve into what was period appropriate, a

typical Canada Day celebration of that time period.”

Besides the various sites and stations at the village and regular tours, there will also be kite-flying, horseshoes and baseball.

“It’s fun for the adults as well, Kimberley said.

There will be live entertain-ment from 1 to 4 p.m. and hot dogs sold from a vintage hot dog maker, though families are encouraged to bring their own picnic.

Kimberley said it’s a great al-

ternative for parents who want to avoid a crowded downtown and keep the day more relaxed.

The village will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and charges regular admission for Canada Day.

Kimberley said all the city-run museums are doing “some-thing cool for Canada Day” and encouraged residents to visit www.ottawamuseumnetwork.com for more information. Par-ents can also like the museum’s pages on Facebook to stay up to date.


EMC news - Canada Day celebrations will return to Petrie Island for another year.

Starting on July 1 at 11 a.m., there will be a wide variety of activities for Orleans residents in their own backyard.

The volunteer firefighter water ball games start at 11 a.m., as does the kids tent, inflatable rides, and beer tent.

New this year for the kids tent will be Disney princesses from noon to 2 p.m.

The Circus Delights magic show will be on the main stage, which has been moved off the sand and onto the grass this year, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.

The official opening ceremonies will start at 1 p.m. with birthday cake and Victoria Powell singing O Canada.

From 1:30 p.m. onwards, the main stage will have entertainment, including a band showcase from Eric’s Academy of Music from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. and a gospel concert put on by area churches from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

“I think it’s really important to showcase some of our local talent,” said entertainment director Kellie Sarazin,. “There will be lots of

surprises that are going to be happening through music. I think with the gospel component and the battle of the bands, it’s going to increase the target audience.”

The Art Vandelays will play from 7 to 7:45 p.m. and the Drew Nelson Band from 8:30 to 10 p.m. on the main stage.

Right after the Drew Nelson Band, the fire-works will begin.

Parking at Petrie Island is restricted to ven-dors, vehicles with handicap permits and those with Canada Day Club memberships, so visi-tors are asked to park at the park-and-ride off Trim Road.

Tractor-drawn hay wagons will shuttle peo-ple from the park-and-ride to the beach up until 8:30 p.m.

Concessions and food will be available for purchase throughout the event.

There is also a beach volleyball tournament running throughout the day, with pre-registra-tion required.

The festival is still accepting volunteers. “We want as many people as possible to

come out,” said Sarazin. “It’s local, and it’s our thing and our event for our community. They always say ‘Let’s create a tradition.’”

Mothercraft’s annual Touch-a-Truck event was held this year on June 10th at Lincoln Fields. This year the event surpassed all records for attendance and earning. Mothercraft reports that this year’s event drew 4000 people. This is a 25% increase from last year’s attendance. As a result, profi ts improved dramatically. In fact, this year’s revenues were more than three times last year’s earning.

Mothercraft Ottawa points out that the event’s success is based on several factors, including great weather and advertising. Co-organizer Shannon MacFarlane suggest that it’s organizations donating their time and their vehicles that makes the event possible: “It’s the great vehicles that really draw people. Without the support of our community, this wouldn’t happen. This year we had over 50 vehicles on site and the support of more than 20 organizations which really shows the generosity of the community”

Mothercraft also suggests that the overwhelming support of volunteers is an important factor in the event’s success.

Approximately 60 volunteers were involved in every element of the event from the planning to the clean up. MacFarlane sums up the importance of the volunteers saying “We are a small organization and without people coming out and giving us their time, we really don’t know how we would run this amazing event.”

Mothercraft is happy the event was successful and that people really liked it. “We’ve received a lot of positive feedback about the event from people who attended. One lady wrote to us just to tell how much her son loved it and how she would never forget watching her son and his friend

run hand-in-hand to the trucks. It’s really touching.”

The Touch-a-Truck event supports Mothercraft’s Birth and Parent Companion programs which support marginalized and isolated expectant mothers and families in the community. Money raised from the Touch-a-Truck event goes to supporting these women who face a pregnancy, delivery and parenting alone or with little support .

Mothercraft plans to hold the event next year and expects it to be an even more exciting day for everyone in the community.

Early in the morning, this time of year, I could hear Father stirring downstairs.

He would try to be quiet so as not to rouse the rest of the house, but as soon as he lit the cook stove, scraping the lids to put in the kindling, I would waken. And then I would hear Mother in the kitchen getting breakfast ready.

The sun would be just ris-ing when Father would head to the barns for the chores, returning to the house to down his breakfast and head out again for the long day ahead in the fields. Likely the binder or the hay mower would already be in a far-off part of the farm, left there from the day before.

Our fields were long and narrow in the Northcote area and it seemed to me, when I was so young, that when Father went beyond the west hill, he was in another part of the country.

He loved his land. Just like he loved every animal in the barns and fields. Grampa, when he came to visit from Ottawa, would say, “Albert is a true farmer.”

On week days, Mother would pack a lunch for him to take to the back fields. But on Saturdays, I would be allowed to take a large basket, packed with sandwiches, a honey pail of tea with shards of ice in it, slab cake, and a peeled cucumber and a tomato. It was quite a feast, I thought back then. Father and I would share the lunch together.

But during the days when we were at school, I knew without Mother telling me, that Father would be gone for most of the day with the binder, far back into the fields in the farthest reaches of our farm.

My three brothers would be expected to hurry home from school this time of year, because they would be responsible for the evening chores. There was milking to be done, the barns to be cleaned out and made ready for the night, the calves and pigs to be fed and fresh straw put in the stalls. My sister Audrey and I were expected to wash out the milk pails and the cream separator, put fresh cheese cloth under the lids of the milk cans, making sure everything was secure.

We would have our supper without Father these nights. He would still be working in the fields. It didn’t seem right somehow, that he wasn’t sitting at the head of the table. But his plate would be there, just as if he could be expected any minute to come in the back door.

My sister Audrey would have to say grace, which was a much shorter version than that given by Father. Although he wasn’t one to engage in idle chatter at meal time, nonetheless it seemed strange that he wasn’t part of our sup-per meal.

Long after we had eaten, and cleaned up the kitchen and the light of the day would have started to fade, I would go to the window and watch for Father. I would first see just a speck and then I would see him coming over the west hill, walking behind the team, with the whippletree dragging

behind them. I would watch his figure grow larger and I would feel the utmost relief that he would soon be home, safe and sound.

“He’s home,” I would yell. Everett would get up and

go out to the barn yard and take the team from Father, feed them oats, and let them drink from the watering trough and then take them into the barn for the night.

Mother would put a steam-ing supper before him and I never knew whether I should sit at the table with him so that he wouldn’t be eating alone, or to leave him in peace. It never mattered how ample the meal was, it couldn’t erase the bone-tiredness from Father’s body. I used to think a long day in the fields made him

look much older than he really was.

At any other time of the year, Father would spend some time after supper read-ing the paper, with his feet resting on the oven door. But when he had been in back fields from daylight to dusk, it was all he could do to muster enough strength to plod to the bedroom, undress and fall into bed.

I knew without fail, the next morning there would be a repeat of what had happened the day before and would hap-

pen many days hence.Although I didn’t under-

stand completely what the Depression really meant, I knew for us to survive it, Father would have to continue the back-breaking work of tilling the land and harvesting the crops, with machinery that had seen better days. And in my prayers at night, I would offer up a special prayer for Father, that he would have the strength to do what had to be done to keep the farm going and to keep the Depression from closing in around us.

EMC news - Two Cumberland parks are set to be named in honour of local residents.

A park in Notting Hill that’s cur-rently unnamed is on its way to be-coming Lalande Conservation Park.

Resident Sylvie Lalande-Simard asked the city to consider honouring her family’s strong roots in the com-munity by naming the Nantes Street park after them.

The family settled in the Orleans area 125 years ago, when Antoine Lalande was a farmer on land that was known as Rang de Chartrand

Road, now Trim Road.“The family’s 200 acres spanned

from the Sainte-Marie Church to the Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy and included the small wooded area near Des Sentiers Public School,” states a city staff report recommending the naming.

In subsequent generations, the family continued to farm the property and be involved in the community. Antoine’s son, Omer Lalande, was a school commissioner for Sainte-Mar-tine School.

There is also a Marcel Lalande Park in the Cardinal Creek area.

Eleven residents submitted com-

ments in support of the name, and one in opposition.

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais strongly supports the naming propos-al, the report states.

liNda duNN

Another park, this one in Cardinal Creek, is set to be named Linda Dunn Park.

The commemorative naming was proposed by Andrew Dunn to honour Linda Dunn, who served as deputy mayor and councillor for Cumberland from 1986 and 1991. According to a city report recommending the name,

Dunn was instrumental in establish-ing a blue bin recycling program in Cumberland.

A former editor and journalist at the Cumberland Communiqué, she also co-founded the Eastern Valley Cooperative Nursery School in Na-van and was the past president of the Navan Women’s Institute, member of the Navan Fair board, organizer of the Navan Fall Fest and member of the Orleans Legion.

Seventy-seven people wrote to the city in support of the new name and Blais strongly supports the idea. The park is located at 1885 Celeste Way.

Beacon Hill ready for picnic, fireworks

Parks to honour Cumberland residents


EMC news - For east-enders looking to avoid the masses downtown this year, the Bea-con Hill Community Associa-tion is holding two free events on Canada Day.

Starting at 2 p.m. at East-vale Park will host the annual Picnic in the Park, organized by the youth committee lead by Crystal Tierney. The park is located at at 2130 Radford Court.

There will be speakers set up for music and fun children’s games with small prizes, said the president of the BHCA, Jeff Kaluski.

Participants are invited to bring a picnic lunch and blan-ket before heading to Loyola Park field at 2166 Loyola Ave. for the fireworks show in the evening.

The show will start at dusk.Kaluski said last year, 300

to 350 people showed up for the firework display, which is funded by the community as-sociation.

He hopes even more people will attend the annual event.

The event is free, but like last year, they will pass around a hat if anyone wants to donate towards the cost of the event.

“The point is to have a com-munity event where people can bring their lawn chairs and their kids, and they’re not stuck trying to find a place to park,” Kaluski said.

This red and white strawberry cake is a perfect way to cel-ebrate Canada Day.

The recipe came from a very good friend whose name is also Pat and it’s always on the menu on Canada Day. This is one of the best cakes I’ve ever tasted.

The ingredients are readily available – frozen strawber-ries, a white cake mix, strawberry Jello powder, eggs and oil. Topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries, it’s a terrific red and white dessert for July 1. Keep the ingredients on hand though because it’s so easy and so good you’ll want to make it for other occasions too.

StrawberrY CaNada daY Cake

• 1 super-moist white cake mix (enough for 2 layers)• 1 package of frozen strawberries (or 2 cups of frozen berries)• 85 gram package strawberry Jello, or other jelly powder• 1/3 cup vegetable oil• 4 eggs

• 1 cup whipping cream• About 12 fresh whole strawber-ries, hulled and washed

Partially thaw the straw-berries before you start everything else.

Grease and lightly flour a 33-by-20-centimetre cake pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, Jello powder, oil and eggs. Pour off any juice from the berries and add this to the bowl. With an electric mixer, mix the cake batter for two minutes. Turn the bowl occasionally to ensure that the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Fold the partially-thawed berries into the cake batter, then spoon the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake at 325 F (160 C)

for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.

Since it’s easiest to serve this cake right from the pan, cool it completely in the pan.

The cake can be baked a day ahead. If you make it in advance, wait until an hour or so before serving to finish it off.

To finish the cake, in a small bowl, beat the whip-ping cream until it holds its shape. Spread this over the top of the cake. Arrange the strawberries on top of the whipped cream with the tips pointing up. The berries can also be sliced and arranged so that every slice of cake will have berries on it.

Keep chilled until serving time. Serves 12-14.

Bugs invade park visitor centre

EMC news - Bugs are the feature attraction at the St. Lawrence Islands National Park this summer as the park highlights the rich biodi-versity of some of the little creatures that play important roles in supporting vibrant ecosystems.

The exhibit, Nature’s Win-ners, on loan from the Mon-treal Insectarium, explores the close relationship insects have with the environment.

With something for all ages, this exhibit presents the many shapes, colours and ad-aptations of the beautiful and often hidden world of insects. Visitors have an opportunity to discover the ingenuity, originality, strength and fra-gility of many species from both water and land as they interact with live animals such as scorpions, beetles, and a tarantula. A number of native species in the collec-tion help introduce visitors to the wonderful creatures found within the Thousand Islands region.

Old favourites have also returned to the park’s visitor centre this season.

Exhibits featuring the gray ratsnake and a stinkpot turtle,

both designated as a species at risk, enable visitors to get up close with rare animals found within St. Lawrence Is-lands National Park.

Interact with knowledge-able and friendly park staff and learn how you can take some simple steps to help protect these fascinating crea-tures.

The park visitor centre is also a great resource stop for visitors seeking information on a broad range of activities occurring within the park all summer long. Featured ac-tivities include a learn to geo-cache program where partici-pants hunt for “treasure” with GPS units and the Parks Can-ada Xplorer program, where children explore the park with an activity book to help guide their visit.

Located at 1121-1000 Is-lands Parkway, just west of Country Road 5 (exit 675 off Highway 401), the St. Lawrence Islands National Park visitor centre is open Thursday through Monday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. until Labour Day. For information about activities and events, call 613-923-5261 or email at [email protected].

Depression research gets $1M boostKristy [email protected]

EMC news - Barbara Crook wants to make sure nobody goes through what she and her father did when it comes to mental health, making a $1 million donation to the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group.

With tears in her eyes, Crook ap-proached a podium set up the audi-torium at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre and told the story of her personal struggle.

“When my sister and I were little girls, our father suffered severe de-pression,” Crook said, adding that her father was sent to a psychiatric ward in Montreal during the same time her grandmother was sick. “We had a vague idea about nana, and we thought dad was on a business trip.”

She spoke about how her father was let go from his job because of his mental illness and how different people’s outlook on mental health was then compared to now,

“Imagine the loyal worker, hus-band and father could be fi red over an illness which he had no control over,” Crook said. “He was consid-ered expendable, tainted.”

Crook also talked about her own

battle with depression and how she was treated for it in 1996.

While her brain responded to the medication, she said some people aren’t so lucky.

“It can take months, even years, for people to get the right treatment,” Crook said.

Crook’s donation will go to help the mental health centre’s new brain imaging centre and will help re-searchers at the Royal look into the causes of depression and develop methods for more effective treatment and early diagnosis.

“We want to get more people suffering from mental illness into remission faster and transform the way we’re treating depression,” said Andrée Steel, president and chief executive of the Royal Ottawa Foun-dation for Mental Health. “Philan-thropy has the power to change lives, transform care, and power to inspire hope in patients everywhere.”

Crook said simply put, the new brain imaging centre will help “peo-ple get their lives back more quick-ly.”

“It’s about reminding people there’s hope,” Crook said.

George Weber, president of the

Royal, added that impressions of mental illness have begun to change, but there’s still more work to be done.

“The stigma still exists but the walls are coming down,” Weber said, adding that having people like Crook talk so openly about their struggle helps. “But we still have a long way to go.”

Crook said statistics show that one in fi ve Canadians will be affected by mental illness at some point in their lives.

“It’s about reminding people that depression and mental illness can affect everyone – no matter your education, or socio-economic level,” Crook said.

“It can affect the happiest people we know . . . whom the glass has al-ways been half full, until one day it’s not.”

Barbara Crook, donor and men-tal health advocate, speaks prior to announcing her donation of $1 million to the Royal’s cam-paign for mental health.

EMC news - An information session will be held on July 3 to help sort out some common questions about e-bikes for residents who might be looking at joining the growing ranks of riders in the city.

The session, being held at the Centre Francophone De Vanier at 270 Marier Ave. will offer riders a chance to hear from police offi cers, city councillors and one scooter business owner.

The goal of the session is to inform riders about safe riding practices as well as the rules and regulations of the road.

The evening is being organized by Va-nier resident Lucie Marleau, who bought her own e-bike in October. In her own quest for information, she only came across confusing and confl icting pieces of information about riding and wanted to get the facts about her e-bike.

According to the city of Ottawa’s web-site an e-bike, also known as a power-as-sisted bicycle, must only weigh no more than 120 kilograms, have wheels with a diameter of at least 350 millimetres and a width of at least 35 millimetres. It must also meet the federal defi nition of a power-assisted bicycle, meaning it must have steering handlebars, be equipped

with pedals, is designed to travel on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground and is capable of moving by

muscle power alone. The information session will take place

from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Michelle Nash

A number of Vanier e-bike owners meet on May 30 to show off their bikes and promote the diff erent mode of transportation. The riders say the population of e-bikes grows every day.

E-bikers meet up in Vanier Watch and slow down for turtles

EMC news - Spring is here and once again, turtles are emerging from their winter hibernation.

Many turtles will attempt the hazardous trek across roads and highways in search of nesting sites. Unfortunate-ly, a turtle’s shell is no match for motor vehicles and many turtles are killed on roads ev-ery year.

In Ontario seven of our eight species of turtles have been classifi ed as endangered, threatened or of special con-cern. The good news is that there are about 700 turtle crossing signs installed on highways throughout Ontario, thanks to the dedication and efforts of the Turtle SHELL Tortue.

We can all do our part by paying close attention to the road and shoulders in these designated turtle crossing areas and near any pond or marsh areas until the end of September. Paying attention to

the road can save a turtle’s life or help prevent an accident.

If you see a turtle crossing the road please help it across. First, make sure that it’s safe to help; do not endanger your-self or others by walking into traffi c.

Move the turtle in the direc-tion that it is travelling – this might not be towards the wa-ter.

Small turtles can be eas-ily carried across the road. Snapping turtles should be handled very carefully as they will bite. They can be safely moved across the road with an object from your car such as a shovel.

Another option is to prod a snapping turtle across the road with a long stick. Do not pick up a turtle by the tail as this may damage the vertebrae.

If the turtle is injured con-tact the Rideau Valley Sanctu-ary at 1-613-258- 9480.

DON’T KEEP SCRATCHING YOUR HEAD; USE THESE TIPS TO RID YOUR FURRY FRIENDS OF FLEAS!

Mouse is a spayed female, white and gray tabby domestic shorthair cat. She is about eight years old and was brought to the shelter as a stray on May 11. Mouse is a very affectionate gal who is looking for a relaxed home where she can live out her retirement years. If you have a sunny spot for her to curl up in, consider taking this beautiful feline home.

MOUSEID#A024308

MIDNIGHT ID#A144091

Fleas, an annual external parasite, are mostly harmless. The biggest problem caused by fl eas is itching. However, some pets or people may be allergic to fl ea saliva, which causes fl ea allergy dermatitis (super-itchy spots with hair-loss); young, sick or elderly pets can become anemic from too much blood loss.

These wingless insects are capable of jumping long distances. While cat and dog fl eas prefer to feast on animal blood, they will turn to a human host if needed.

The life-cycle of a fl ea has four stages:

• Eggs, which fall from the host into the environment

• Larvae, which live off of the fallen fecal matter of adult fl eas found in carpets and in lawns.

• Pupae, which is the cocoon. They do not emerge until a host is de-tected (via warmth /vibration)

• Adults, which feast on blood. If you do have a fl ea-infestation,

it is important to treat the pet’s environment as well, to eliminate fl ea eggs and larvae.

There are many over-the-counter products that help solve fl ea problems such as fl ea sprays (both for the pet and environment), shampoos, or collars. While the costs may be lower for over-the-counter products ($5 to $30), they often need to be reapplied to solve a fl ea infestation.

Prescription-only solutions such as topical treatments (Advantage, Revolution) or pills (Program, Sentinel) are more expensive and require a vet visit for a prescrip-tion. They are usually dispensed in a six-month package, to be applied monthly for the fl ea season.

They are safer, easier and more effec-tive than over-the-counter prod-ucts. These products often have

additional benefi ts, such as heart-worm protection and tick, lice and mite infestation prevention. Because of their ease of use, their safety, and their effectiveness, they are highly recommended.

It is important to read all of the instructions carefully before using any fl ea-control product. Follow all the instructions. Never use fl ea productions designed for dogs on cats, and vice versa. When in doubt, contact your veterinarian.

Alternatives:Use a fl ea comb several times a week

on all pets. Vacuum frequently, disposing of

bags immediately after use. Long grass can host fl eas: keep lawns

mowed. Wash pet bedding weekly. To protect cats from fl eas and ticks,

as well as a host of other outdoor hazards, cats should be kept indoors at all times.

Midnight is a spayed female, black Chow Chow who is about four years old. She has a bit of a timid disposition, but is usually friendly and polite meeting new people once she feels comfortable. She needs an owner who is experienced and familiar with the Chow Chow breed and who will expose her to new people and places and help her become more confi dent.

Hi! My name is Bama and I am a five year old retired racing greyhound. I recently found my forever home thanks to the Greyhound Supporters of the National Capital Region. My happy demeanour, expressive ears and long legs pique the curiosity of my neighbours. I love to meet them and hear them gush over me. I am so charming that even my feline sister -- who commands the highest respect -- is warming up to me!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Patience is a virtue, Aries. The best will be in store for you later in the week. There’s not much chance for adventure Monday or Tuesday, but things pick up on Wednesday.

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

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21Trust your instincts, Gemini. Someone who seems like they have your best interests at heart really may have ulterior motives. Heed Capricorn’s sage advice.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, you may feel like you’re the only one keeping the ship from sinking. However, this is not the case. Behind-the-scenes work is taking place, too.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, it seems as if drama is always following you. That’s because you tend to be the life of the party or prefer all eyes be on you. Think about being less conspicuous.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, it’s hard to keep friends if you are overly critical of the way they live their lives. Remember, no one is perfect — including you. Keep an open mind.

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

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

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21You’re in over your head, Sagittarius. Too many projects and not enough helpers can leave you feeling over-whelmed. You may want to tackle one thing at a time.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, new beginnings have arrived and you’re excited about all of the prospects. Others may share your joy but not to the extent that you do.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, it’s alright to be cautious with your decisions, but taking much too long could indicate you’re not ready for a change. Soon a spouse or partner will grow impatient.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20It’s hard to accept help sometimes, Pisces. But help is what you need right now. Accept it with open arms.

Fun By The Numbers

Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

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

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, you could find yourself daydreaming this week, which will only make an important decision even harder to make. You need to focus, or the week will be wasted.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Common sense may be what you use to operate, Taurus, but this week a little imagination and spontaneity could be the secret to achieving great success in the next few days.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Be careful with whom you share your goals, Gemini. While there just may be a few copycats who want to steal your thunder, you could find a promotion is stolen away as well.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, explore new ways of doing things this week, especially in your professional life. There’s always room to grow and a new perspective might make things easier.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, be careful of a misstep when you move into new territory. Don’t leak information before you have fully developed the ideas, or things could get tricky.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Cosmic fog is clouding your reality, Virgo. It is unlikely you will be able to make a sound decision, so it is best to wait a while before tackling difficult or life-altering projects.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, there is no time for daydreaming right now. There’s simply too much to get done. Start on small tasks and build up to the larger ones.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Sometimes the best growth comes from not knowing where you’re heading, Scorpio. While you may want to have a game plan, let creative energy drive you instead.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, though right now you can probably get away with saying whatever comes into your mind, it’s better to stick to the subject at hand. Censor yourself a little.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, a fear of failure may override your ambition. Don’t let these feelings compromise your plan for doing something new and different.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, it can be a little challenging to figure out what is bothering you, but be patient. The truth will be revealed in due time. Focus on something else.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, you may have some unfinished business to complete, but it won’t get done right away. Focus on the task at hand.

Closing coal plants right idea: lung associationEMC news - The Ontario

Lung Association is calling on the provincial government to accelerate closings of On-tario’s remaining coal-fired power plants and to place them on standby reserve until they can be permanently shut down.

A recently released study conducted by RiskAnalytica focused on three disease areas: asthma, chronic ob-structive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer.

The study examined the health and economic impact of air quality by looking at current health scenarios cal-culated as if air quality had been left at 1990 levels, and by examining the impact a 25 per cent reduction in current pollution levels would have on Ontarians’ lung health to-day and 30 years from now.

high cost

Lung disease is a leading health concern in Ontario that costs more than $4 bil-lion annually. While there are personal choices an individ-ual can make to protect and maintain his or her own lung health, air quality remains a key risk factor for lung dis-ease. Ontario has committed to eliminate all coal-fired power generation by Dec. 31, 2014.

Results from the Ontario

Lung Association’s research indicate air quality measures such as these have had a sig-nificant positive impact on both lung health and health-care spending and must be, at a minimum, replicated mov-ing forward.

scENARio oNE

If air pollution levels had remained at the 1990 level, which was significantly high-er than today’s levels, there would be:

• An additional 120,000 cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by the end of this year with an associated incremental cost of $240 million annually.

• An additional $8.9 mil-lion in annual asthma-related costs by the end of this year because of increased emer-gency room visits and hospi-talization.

• The additional annual in-direct costs due to the effects of COPD, asthma and lung cancer would exceed $98 million in 2012.

“There is no doubt that poor air quality impacts on our health and this research modeling should remind Ontarians that we are all in-vested in the need for cleaner, healthier air,” said respirolo-gist Chris Licskai, a spokes-person for the Ontario Lung Association. “The personal

and societal costs of poor air quality are very high.”

scENARio tWo

The Ontario Lung Associa-tion also examined the impact of a 25 per cent reduction in air pollution from 2012 levels on the future health of Ontar-ians over the next 30 years.

A 2011 report showed that 2.4 million Ontarians cur-rently live with a serious lung

disease including asthma, COPD and lung cancer with an expected increase of 50 per cent to 3.6 million by 2041 if changes are not immediately made to the present system.

By reducing the air par-ticulate matter levels by an additional 25 per cent relative

to the current trend, and hold-ing the current ozone levels steady, findings showed sig-nificant health and economic savings relative to the origi-nal model:

• The prevention of over 35,000 new cases of COPD over the next 30 years result-

ing in an annual savings of $270 million by 2042.

• A reduction of $32 mil-lion in annual asthma-related costs by 2042.

• An annual savings in in-direct costs of $570 million attributable to COPD, asthma and lung cancer by 2042
