EMC arts - St. Peter High School stu-dents are performing Footloose, which tells the story of high school kids who just want to be allowed to dance.

But for the students at St. Peter, espe-cially those in the first year of the high skills major program in musical theatre, their experience is the exact opposite.

“We perform all the time now,” said Drew Plummer, a Grade 12 student who plays the lead role as Ren MacCormac. “It’s a lot of work , but it’s extremely re-warding. And it’s all for the love of it.”

Footloose features 31 St. Peter stu-dents in the extra-curricular musical that tells the story of small town Bomont, its strict rules against dancing and the stu-dents who want to change it.

The musical will be performed Feb. 27 to March 2 at 7 p.m. each evening and di-rector Bernie Leger expects 2,000 people

to come through the auditorium doors at the school over the four nights.

The musical is a dance-focused pop-rock performance which students, who were selected through a competitive au-dition that saw less than half of those who auditioned chosen, have been preparing for since Thanksgiving.

Students from Grade 9 to 12 all act, dance and sing, showing off almost five months of preparation.

For Grade 10 student Morgyn Davies, who is too young to be in the high skills major program, playing her first lead role as Ariel Moore is exciting.

“It was a lot to get used to,” she said. But she enjoys the Footloose-style of

music, which is more pop and less classi-cal than most musicals.

Both Plummer and Davies agreed that the musical is very fun and energetic.

“No one is going to leave without a sense of ‘wow, the energy they brought was really uplifting,” Plummer said.

They said they’ve been leaving the school’s dance studio dripping in sweat to prepare for the performance.

NCC unveils vision for GreenbeltJennifer [email protected]

EMC news - Due to a lack of interest from private land-owners, the National Capital Commission has killed a plan to expand the Mer Bleue area of the Greenbelt.

Lori Thornton, acting chief of planning for the NCC, said private landowners weren’t in-terested in another level of gov-ernment on their property.

“That doesn’t mean they aren’t aware of the environ-ment on those lands and being stewards,” she said.

The National Capital Com-mission will be hanging onto Greenbelt land near the Queensway Carleton Hospital. said project manager Sylvie Lalonde at a public meeting at the Nepean Sportsplex on Feb. 19.

The Greenbelt Master Plan – which is set to go before the crown corporation’s board in the spring – will also see Pin-hey Forest designated as natu-ral area.

Pinhey Forest, which lines the west side of Woodroffe to Black Rapids Creek, will be designated a core natural area and have its existing footprint protected from development.

“We listened to the concerns of residents who really wanted to see that space kept,” Lalonde said, adding there is land to the south of Baseline Road avail-able if the hospital chooses to expand in the future.

other changes to the west-end portion of the Greenbelt include an amendment to the Nepean National Equestrian Park to allow for the proposal submitted by the Wesley Clo-ver Foundation. The Greenbelt Research Farm, a federally-owned facility on Woodroffe Avenue across from the Sport-splex, will keep the same foot-print.

Lalonde said it was slated for expansion in the 1996 master plan, but with the new focuses on capital recreation, natural environment on agriculture, the NCC is trying to get away from using Greenbelt land for federal buildings.

EMC news – The high-tech indus-try’s push to find more software and app programmers has entered the classrooms of A.Y. Jackson Second-ary School.

A Grade 10 computer science class at the Glen Cairn high school recently celebrated the creation of 10 apps for the BlackBerry Playbook, teaching tools that were tested out on an enthu-siastic group of grade 3 and 4 students at John Young Elementary School.

“It was an amazing feeling. The kids play with it and actually enjoy it,” said Melissa Manseau, who to-gether with her fellow students Cam-eron Wissing and Justin Kim created The Fishygame, an app that teaches basic math schools.

Brendan Marentette and Awalie Hassan produced the Animal Race Xtreme Edition, a game that teaches children basic math skills.

“We talked to the kids and the kids were interested in making a race game with animals,” Marentette said.

The computer science students started the course with no background in programming, first learning the ba-sics of Turing and Flash, a graphic user interface and then moving on to Action Script 3, a coding program that allowed students to generate game mechanics.

Matt Hodgson, a software devel-oper at BlackBerry, formerly known as RIM, who has worked on Twitter applications for the older BlackBerry phones as well as an app for the new BlackBerry 10, visited the class an hour-and-a-half each week last fall, helping the students pick up the ba-sics of programming language and troubleshooting any coding prob-lems.

“I was blown away by the work they did,” said Hodgson. “I wasn’t expecting that much; this was their first programming class.”

Cameron said he wants to one day get a job in the high-tech industry.

“I hope to follow in Matt’s foot-steps, try to get a good job, something

to do with coding,” he said.Helen Nowell’s grade 3 and 4 class

at John Young acted as the custom-ers for the apps, giving the groups of Grade 10 students direction on what kind of apps they would like.

“The kids told us what they want-ed,” said Thao-Tran. “We just made that happen.

Thao-Tran Le-Phuong’s group created an app called !Explosions!, a game where children are asked to match capital cities with provinces.

“They wanted an explosions game,” she said. “There’s bombs and there’s provinces and you just kind of blow them up.

“When we showed them our app, they said, ‘Oh, that’s cool.’”

The John Young students provided art work for the apps, which were scanned onto the computers and ma-nipulated using Adobe Photoshop.

“They needed to make company logos and they needed to make the idea for the game,” said Nowell.

The children also visited A.Y. Jack-son several times last fall and winter to see how the app programs were coming along.

“I think they really enjoyed seeing their artwork turn up on the screen,” Nowell said.

This year is Carla Kirby’s first time teaching the apps development pro-gram.

“It surprised me how well it worked and how students were excited,” she said. “It was energizing just to be in the room watching those kids talk.”

The Grade 10 Introduction to Computer Science teacher received training last spring on how to instruct the course.

Starting last fall, Kirby divided her class into 10 groups to work on apps for eight Playbooks donated by RIM.

“They know nothing at the begin-ning,” she said. “They go from noth-ing to making pretty amazing apps.”

The students learned the mean-ing of deadlines, with many of them working to perfect their programs during lunch hours and at home.

“You have to make deadlines, be-cause if you don’t do it those Grade 3s don’t have a product,” Kirby said. “My kids would be letting down the Grade 3s if they’re not able to make the deadlines, which gave my kids a lot more motiviation.”

Working with an industry mentor and creating a product under tight deadlines gives the students a connec-

tion to the “real world,” she said.Kirby, who teaches grade 10, 11

and 12 computer science courses, said students will learn C++ program-ming in Grade 11 and develop more advanced apps in Grade 12.

EXPANSION

This is the first year app program-ming has been offered at A.Y. Jack-son, a course that falls under the um-brella program TechU.me.

TechU.me, a program designed to entice high school students into considering a career in technology, was launched in 2007 by the Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation, which has since changed its name to Invest Ottawa, and a cluster of high-tech companies that hoped to boost the number of youth entering com-puter science programs at universities and colleges.

The pilot project ran from 2007-11 in four Ottawa high schools: Earl of March Secondary School, Garneau Catholic high school, Mother Theresa High School and All Saints Catholic High School.

Last September, the program ex-panded to 19 high schools, which included A.Y. Jackson, with plans to grow to 25 over the next two years.

“The really critical thing that came out of the pilot project was the recipe for success, which is having the high school students working with the ele-mentary students, but also having the industry mentor visit the classroom,” said Maria Smirnoff, a spokeswoman for the Ottawa Network for Educa-tion, a division of Invest Ottawa.

EmC news - The Earl arm-strong arena and three orlé-ans parks will get accessibil-ity upgrades including a new elevator at the arena and new playstructures in the parks.

The announcement was made on Feb. 21 at the Earl armstrong arena.

Queenswood ridge Park at 346 Kennedy Ln. East, mar-cel Bériault Park at 1691 Sun-view Dr. and Louis Perreault Park at 6250 Beauséjour Dr. are scheduled to have new, accessible playstructures re-place existing structures by the end of the year.

Specific improvements will vary by site, but will in-clude changing play surfaces, improving accessibility of walkways and washrooms

and an upgraded splashpad at Queenswood ridge.

mayor Jim Watson said the city will work with the com-munity to figure out exactly which playstructures will end up in the parks.

The largest project is the Earl armstrong arena, which will see upgraded wash-rooms, upgraded doors and with power door openers, and work on the elevator and stairs.

The Earl armstrong arena is home to the Gloucester Se-nior adults Centre on the top level.

The Earl armstrong proj-ects have a longer deadline, with an estimated competi-tion date of next February.

“Some (of the improve-ments) seem very minor to us, but from a senior’s perspec-tive they’re very important,”

said Coun. Tim Tierney, who said that when the elevator is out of service and the seniors centre is having an event, it makes it very difficult for the attendees to access the cen-tre.

The cost of the four proj-ects totals near $1.1 million, split between the federal gov-ernment and the city.

The federal government committed the funds through FedDev ontario’s Commu-nity Infrastructure Improve-ment Fund.

Watson said the approved projects were ones that were both shovel-ready and in ar-eas that had the highest need for accessible features.

“The east end pushed hard because changes are needed,” Watson said. “not just for the disabled, but for the aging population.”

The first year of the pilot-project, high school students visited high-tech industries, such as IBM-Canada and Cis-co Systems Inc., to experience the work environment.

Over the next four years, the project evolved and became more hands on for the students, said Smirnoff.

Starting in the project’s sec-ond year, students worked on building small XO laptops, which were later shipped to schools in Third World coun-tries.

In 2010, Patrick Coxall, a Grade 10 computer science teacher at Mother Theresa High School in Barrhaven, suggested schools teach youth how to program apps for mo-bile devices such as Playbooks and iPads.

“The teacher, on his own, created model teaching apps,” said Smirnoff. “We took the model and used it in other schools.”

This year, the program re-ceived $961,000 in funding from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario to expand the TechU.Me program from four to 25 high schools over the next three years.

TechU.me has four industry partners: IBM-Canada, Adobe, BlackBerry and Macadamian, which provided classroom space, Playbooks, Adobe Cre-ative Suite licensing, and assis-tance monitoring the students’ development.

TechU.me also offers sci-ence summer camps for grades 6 and 8 students in the Ottawa area, teaching them how to build robots with Lego, social media, app development and website design.

Enrolment in computer sci-ence programs at Canadian universities and colleges has gone up since the program started, said Smirnoff.

“But the demand has grown,” she said. “A lot of the partners we’re working with in the industry are saying, ‘We are desperate for talent.’”

Smirnoff said TechU.me aims to remove negative ste-reotypes associated with a job in high tech and encourag-ing high school students to consider a career in software programming and app devel-opment.

The program is already see-ing some success stories, said Smirnoff, such as that of Sami-ra El-Rayyes, a Katimavik woman completing her second year in a bachelor of applied

science at the University of Ot-tawa, where she is majoring in software engineering.

El-Rayyes, 19, never con-sidered a career in computer programming until she entered the TechU.Me program at Earl of March Secondary School.

In 2008, El-Rayyes was fin-ishing Grade 9 and was certain she wanted to study chemistry in university, when she came across a Grade 10 computer science course.

“It was really new to me,” said El-Rayyes. “I didn’t know anything about computer sci-ence or java or anything like that.”

The Earl of March student learned how to make games to put on XO laptops.

“I was going into chemistry before that, but I switched,” said El Rayyes. “I really, really liked having a final product in the end.”

This summer, El-Rayyes will be starting a paid intern-ship with Nakima Systems, a company in Kanata.

It helped that when she con-tacted the company to apply for the internship her industry mentor who taught her intro-ductory programming at Earl of March answered the phone.

“There’s a huge job market,” said El-Rayyes.

25 schools now part of tech program


“Rehearsals are high-ener-gy, it’s exhausting,” Plummer said. “It’s challenging every-one on a physical level.”

Tuesday through Friday and a handful of Saturdays in the winter are dedicated to the rehearsals.

Leger said Footloose was a good choice because it is heavier on dance than last year’s Les Misérables perfor-mance, giving students more diversity, and it also fits in with the school’s Catholic education.

“Footloose, it’s more about understanding part of being a Christian is dancing and re-joicing,” he said.

Leger will have a closer role inside the show this year, directing the rock-band style orchestra made up of music teachers from around the Ot-tawa-area and professional musicians from Orléans that the actors highlighted as one of their favourite parts of the show.

Tickets for the musical are $10 and can be purchased at the school or reserved in ad-vance by calling the office at 613-837-9377.

HIGH SKILLS

More than half of the stu-dents in the musical are in the school’s inaugural year of the specialist high skills major program in arts and culture. At St. Peter, Leger has shaped the program into a musical theatre program, with students immersed in acting, dancing and singing.

Students spend five hours a day with him, with most tak-ing part in the extracurricular musical, after-school dance classes and special workshops to develop their skills, both in and out of school.

It’s clear Leger puts in many more hours than required as a teacher, and the students put in many more than the re-quired to get their high school credits. But they’re all there for the same reason: a shared passion of musical theatre and the arts.

“We’re all here for that one reason,” Leger said. “And if you don’t want to be here, don’t.”

The students put on Into the Woods already as a high skills major class, and most also in the musical and the show choir.

It means a student like

Plummer can have 12 singing solos, 20 choreographies and hundreds of lines to learn in a year between the three perfor-mances.

Leger said intense and di-verse training is the best way to prepare students who want to pursue theatre arts at the post-secondary level.

As a part of the program, students are also working within the arts with co-op placements through the city.

They also work with guest dance teachers on Friday eve-nings at Capital City Dance in a special prep class for post-secondary auditions.

“Most kids would kill for that opportunity,” Leger said. “This program promotes that it takes a village to raise a child.”

Next year, the school hopes to attract more students to the program, including some who may not have normally at-tended St. Peter High School. The program will also be ex-panding to include a produc-tion group, which will focus more on set design, costume and production than the per-formers.

“We’re going to make a lot more noise about the pro-gram,” Leger said.

The study of a master plan for the 20,000-hectare ex-panse of land started in 2008, then moved to a series of con-sultations that looked at land uses, potential additions and conservation.

If the plan is approved by the commission’s board, the plan would be implemented between 2014 and 2067.

“We wanted to make the Greenbelt more relevant,” Lalonde said. “We wanted to give it a clearer identity and roles.”

Lalonde said core natural areas like Shirley’s Bay, Pine Grove and Mer Bleue make up 40 per cent of the Greenbelt. Agricultural lands make up an-other 29 per cent.

“The natural environment is a priority,” Lalonde said, adding they are also looking at sustainable agriculture prac-tices and links to bring togeth-er the different sectors of the Greenbelt.

Due to a lack of interest from private landowners, planned additions to Mer Bleue Shir-leys Bay, Carlsbad Springs and the airport will likely not hap-pen, Lalonde said. But Green’s Creek will remain a core natu-ral area.

Lori Thornton, acting chief of planning for the NCC said just because private landown-ers didn’t want to surrender their land to the Greenbelt, it doesn’t mean they aren’t watching over the wildlife.

SOUTH

The NCC is also designat-ing 1,300 hectares of land at the airport as buildable in ex-changes for a lease from the Ottawa Macdonald Airport Authority on 169 hectares of

land south of the airport to link to the Leitrim Wetlands.

The lease would be renew-able until 2057.

“It was hard to come up with an agreement,” Thornton said. “Our objectives were dif-ferent. The airport authority’s focus is making it an economic

centre, while we are working to protect the environment.”

Thornton said that while the land is no longer Green-belt, it’s unlikely the airport authority will heavily develop the area.

“We will focus on the wet-lands and entrance features around the Airport Parkway,” she said.

One resident said she would like to see the NCC replace the total amount of land lost through the deal.

ORLEANS

“We got a sense that people just didn’t want another level of government on their land,” Thornton said.

Lalonde said studying the best natural linkages to the core natural areas will be on-going.

“We will study an existing quarry near the RCMP head-quarters in the east end for pos-sible rehabilitation,” Lalonde said. “It would provide a good link but we don’t know yet if it’s a possibility.”

Lalonde also said the Cler-oux Farm near the Blackburn Bypass would be protected to provide space for sustainable architecture.

New highway lanes will get just as clogged as today’sRe “Hwy. planning sparks

vibration, noise worries,” Feb. 14.

To the editor,It seems to me that people

should be worried about more than just vibration and noise. They should be concerned about whether or not the pro-posed new road capacity will solve current and future traffic problems in Ottawa’s east end.

The Toronto experience suggests that the opposite will occur. People will move to Rockland and other communi-ties east of Ottawa because they can get bigger homes and lots, and enjoy country living cheaper than in Ottawa when lured by the prospect of an easy commute.

A little over 40 years ago, Highway 401 at Toronto was just four lanes and was an almost impossible road to drive on. Today it is 16 to 18 lanes and people from Oshawa to Hamilton use it to commute to work in Toronto.

Add in the Queen Elizabeth Way, Highway 400 and and a number of other “express” highways and you have a road system costing billions of dol-lars that is still congested.

We are considering the same thing here. We propose spending billions of dollars to build and maintain a road sys-tem that can, at best, provide a temporary solution to the current road congestion.

Since the relief is likely

only to be temporary and maintaining current infrastruc-ture is problematic, perhaps we should consider not build-ing extra road capacity. We should look at a different way of moving people between their homes and the city.

Extending commuter rail to the east should be less intrusive to surrounding com-munities and take some of the existing traffic off roads.

It may reduce road usage so that additional road building is not required.

If we are going to spend billions of dollars we should at least do something that might work.

EMC news - They’ve al-ready survived their first chal-lenge – filming an application video on the Rideau Canal in -35 C degree weather.

Sarah Cloutier and Ma-rie-France Lavigne are put-ting their hats forward to be one of the teams selected

for Amazing Race Canada, a game show that sees duos trek across the country com-pleting challenges along the way, with last-place teams facing elimination.

If the show mirrors the American version, there will be 12 pairs selected for the final show. Unlike the Ameri-can version, the Canadian show will see teams travel across Canada, not interna-tionally.

“Now that I’m retired, I don’t want to do anything that isn’t fun,” Cloutier said.

Cloutier, 62, is retired and Lavigne, 53, still works as a mortgage broker, but they are

older than the average con-testants.

Cloutier laughs when she sees contestants 20 years younger than her pegged as the “old” people on the show by comparing themselves to the youngest contestants.

“I don’t think there’s any-one as old as me,” she said, of the application videos she has watched on YouTube.

Both say they’re kept young by their younger group of friends and Blackburn-based softball team.

And they say they’ve both still got what it takes and are active year-round whether they are skiing, hiking or playing capture the flag in the summer at the cottage.

And they’ve got the bilin-gual advantage, both having grown up in northern On-tario. They predict there will be a point in the race where contestants end up in a franco-phone part of the country and those who can understand the language will have a major advantage.

They don’t exactly know what the show’s producers will be looking for. There may be the usual stereotypes – the hunky 20-somethings, the mother-daughter combo, the newlyweds.

So they are trying to devel-op a following as the “Golden Girls”, and are getting lots of likes and comments on their video application posted on YouTube.

Their application shows the ladies fooling around on the canal, going for a slide down a hill, and relaxing in the hot tub.

They said that the video shows just a small slice of both of their active lifestyles. Cloutier has travelled across Canada several times and Lavigne backpacked through Europe.

The discussion of who would do what has already started as well. While Clout-ier has anything to do with heights or eating weird food covered, Lavigne is ready to take on any confusing driv-ing challenges. Both women credit years as realtors with-out GPS devices for excellent navigational skills.

Producers will be choos-ing the top teams to inter-view sometime in March, with a decision coming in the spring.

To view Cloutier and Lavi-gne’s application video, visit www.google.ca and search for Amazing Race Ottawa Golden Girls.


Sarah Cloutier, left, and Marie-France Lavigne aren’t afraid to get a little chilly in Black-burn Hamlet, and are hoping they can prove it to the rest of Canada with a chance on the Canadian Amazing Race show.

EMC news – The 16,000 person Convent Glen/Orléans Wood area is fi nally going to have a community association again.

After the fi rst general meeting on Feb. 20, it was made offi cial, with the nine person board elected and bylaws adopted.

They tried to resurrected the or-ganization in Sept. 2011, but there wasn’t strong interest and the resi-dent spearheading the effort moved out of the community.

The community association had been dormant since 1987 prior to this, but fi ve months ago a 12-per-son planning committee started working to spread the word about the effort and put together a board of directors and bylaws.

The committee consulted with eight other community groups, in-cluding the Cardinal Creek Com-munity Association, to fi gure out how to best shape the group. They also consulted with a lawyer to get advice on the bylaws.

The nine spots on the board of directors were acclaimed, with each

person giving a short speech to the crowd.

“I want to see it up and running, but I want to see it continue,” said Andre Brisebois, who was ac-claimed as secretary and was born and raised in Convent Glen. “I’m really excited to get working.”

Coun. Bob Monette said that the community associations help him by giving input on what the com-munities priorities are.

Monette paid for the printing and distribution of fl yers for the meet-ing, and the website hosting was donated.

The next step for the community association is to incorporate the as-sociation so it can begin to fund-raise.

Following the elections, the ap-proximately 60 people in atten-dance had a discussion on commu-nity issues to give the board an idea of what is important.

There were larger scale issues raised, like dealing with ash borer infestation and a proactive review of development opportunities but also recreation and business sug-gestions.

There was discussion about the beautifi cation of St. Joseph Boule-vard and protecting existing busi-nesses in the Convent Glen Shop-ping Centre area.

The association also discussed development of fun and social ac-tivities like a community garage sale, and building more community meeting places.

Board members were set to meet at the start of March to fi gure out the priority issues for the commu-nity association.

They are encouraging all resi-dents of the area to visit www.con-ventglenorleanswood.com in order to sign up for the mailing list and stay updated on the association’s development.

The elected board of directors are:

• Ian Gadbois - president• Ronalee Carey – vice-president • Andre Brisebois - secretary• David Jean-Laniel - treasurer

• Jean-Francois Bernard - direc-tor of communications

• Andre Pinard - director• Claude Goldberger - director• Claude Gagne - director• Genevieve Trottier - director


Jean Lapage, a member of the 12-person planning committee to shape the Convent Glen/Orléans Wood Community Association, speaks at the fi rst general meeting on Feb. 20.

THIS WEEK’S POLL QUESTIONDo you think Ontario will be going back to the polls this spring?

A) Yes. Both Hudak and Horwath are chomping at the bit for an election.

B) Maybe. It all depends on whether Wynne bows to the NDP’s budget demands.

D) Nope. Wynne will wow’em with the budget and all will be well come April.

PREVIOUS POLL SUMMARYNow that it’s been back for about a month, are you watching NHL hockey?

A) Oh yeah – I watch every minute I can on TV and get tickets for the rink too.

B) When it’s on the tube, I’ll make time to watch.

Those were wonderful scandals coming out of the Senate, with people alleg-edly claiming expenses they didn’t deserve because they didn’t live where

they said they did, and so on. For a while, there was the faint hope that the thing would fi nally be abolished, but for various reasons too con-stitutional to mention, that is very unlikely to happen. Too bad, as it would free up a beautiful piece of real estate in the heart of downtown.

Still, it is pleasant, although maybe not too realistic, to consider alternate uses for the Sen-ate chamber, once the Senators have made their deliberate move to the exit.

Many years ago I proposed in print that the Senate chamber would make an excellent bas-ketball court. The dimensions are about right, there is parking nearby, plenty of security and the visitors’ gallery has lots of good seats.

You might ask, why basketball, when hock-ey is our national sport? That’s a good question. The diffi culty is that the dimensions of a hock-ey rink are too large for the space available. Further, the taxpayer might balk at installing ice-making machinery in Centre Block. Finally, where would they put the Zamboni?

For these reasons, basketball made more sense. However, the proposal was somehow not seized upon by public offi cials. Also there was a complete lack of public excitement and eventually, Scotiabank Place was built.

Too bad, because it would have made a nice basketball court and years of embarrassing scandal could have been avoided.

So we move on. What other uses could be made of the space now occupied by the Senate?

Well, what about the National Portrait Gallery? You’ll remember that it was once intended to move into the old United States embassy build-ing across from Parliament Hill, then the gov-ernment changed and the museum faded from sight. We could use a good portrait gallery.

The Senate would have lots of space for it, because remember there is more to the Senate than just the chamber. Once the Senate is abol-ished, all those senators’ offi ces will be vacant, along with the Senate committee rooms and the place where the senators store their overcoats and shuffl eboard equipment.

Acres and acres of portraits could go in there. Some of them could even be of senators. The ones who live in Ottawa should not be hard to fi nd to take their pictures. Even some ones who don’t offi cially live in Ottawa might, unaccountably, be close by. For the genera-tions yet unborn, we would want a permanent photographic record of those who graced the institution and explaination of what they did.

Some might oppose putting the Portrait Gallery in the Senate on the grounds that our need for historical portraiture will be covered in the conversion of the Museum of Civilization to the Canadian Museum of History. So other possible uses need to be explored. The sugges-tion that the Senate be turned into a downtown casino will not be dignifi ed with a reply.

However, there is nothing to stop the Senate from becoming what most of Canada is becom-ing – a condominium. Some of those offi ces suites could make nice apartments, once they are thoroughly cleaned to get rid of the smell of pork. The Senate chamber could be made into a party room, instead of a political party room.

The idea certainly has merit, since having more people live downtown has long been one of the city’s goals. It could help put more people onto Sparks Street, as the condo own-ers emerge from Parliament Hill in search of somewhere to party, or at least get a sausage. The big lawn would be an attraction, the view is very nice. All that needs to be done is to get the neighbours in the House of Commons to keep it down.

Funny Town

Premier Kathleen Wynne came to town last week, offering Ottawans their fi rst

chance to take the measure of Ontario’s new leader.

That fi rst impression may be important, as the province may very well have an elec-tion on its hands this spring, something that should be embraced, albeit grudgingly, by the electorate.

Why embraced? It comes down to the fact Wynne is looking to take Ontario in

a fundamentally different direction from the one we were following under Dalton McGuinty, despite the claims made by Tim Hudak and the Progressive Conservatives to the contrary. That fact alone means voters need the opportunity to approve a new mandate.

McGuinty, while he fo-cused on defi cit reduction to a certain extent following his 2011 election victory, spent much time looking to imple-ment and expand programs

such as full-day kindergarten. He will also be remem-bered as the premier who introduced the feed-in tariff program, harmonized the provincial sales tax and gave a 30 per cent rebate to post-secondary students. He was a premier focused on programs and ways the province could help out its citizens.

Wynne, based on the speech from the throne delivered on Feb. 19, is look-ing to focus the province’s efforts on “fi scal responsibil-

ity, economic growth and increased employment.” In practice, this doesn’t need to be a drastic departure from what came before: FIT was designed to boost the economy, helping students can lead to more jobs and freezing teachers salaries is one way of taking fi scal responsibility.

But the premier undoubt-edly brings her own ideas to her new offi ce and those ideas deserve to be vetted by voters, who should have the

chance to compare Wynne’s plan with those being offered by both the PCs and the New Democratic Party.

We’ll have a much better idea of what the Liberals are all about under Wynne in the coming weeks when the bud-get is presented at Queen’s Park. It should provide a detailed account of how her government plans to reach its new goals. Andrea Horwath’s NDP has pledged to support the minority Liberals on the speech from the throne, so

Wynne will survive to table the budget.

It’s better that we head to the polls sooner than later, as the province is facing a num-ber of challenges that really can’t wait to be addressed: the decline of manufactur-ing and the transition of the wider economy, deteriorating infrastructure, rising health care costs, all under the shadow of a massive defi cit and ballooning debt.

It would be much better for voters to choose from among the latest visions for Ontario’s future, rather than be stuck with a new path chosen by Liberal party faithful.

Voters deserve chance to weigh in on WynneEDITORIAL

My husband and I are like police when it comes to maintaining

bedtimes. Our kids are out the door

for school at 7:25 a.m. In or-der to get the rest they need, it’s lights out at 7:30 every night. The baby tends to be in bed by 6 p.m.

Some people think I’m crazy. How can you possibly get the kids to go to sleep that early? In my opin-ion, sleeping is the kids’ responsibilities. My job is to exercise them, feed them, read with them and yell lights out in my serious mom voice when the clock strikes half-past seven.

As a recent feature in the Globe and Mail highlighted, there is much evidence to suggest sleep is imperative to good health. Despite this, reports Erin Anderssen, a combination of urbanization, technological interruptions and the glorifi cation of busy seem to have relegated a good night’s sleep to the sidelines. And while many of us make the connection between nutritious food, ex-ercise and good health, sleep

doesn’t often fi nd its way into the same conversation.

Anderssen cites a number of studies that link lack of sleep to everything from obesity to depression to attention defi cit disorder. And of course, the negative effects of sleep deprivation have also been well docu-mented elsewhere. But if one is in the habit of getting only fragmented and irregular sleep, how can you make a change?

I’m not a health expert, but the preservation of sleep has made me a keen observer of the things that tend to help or hinder slumber. It’s no secret that light blocks the production of melatonin – the sleep drug – so technology has a huge impact both on getting kids to sleep and keeping them there. Most evenings our

kids have zero screen time, but we’re far from the norm. Statistics suggest that up to half of children in the United States have TV sets in their bedrooms – nevermind those that are playing with smartphones, portable video game consoles and tablets in their beds.

Fresh air and exercise are key elements to good sleep. We like the kids to run around for at least an hour in the late afternoon. Too much indoor time and they have a lot more trouble settling.

Finally, I fi nd the kids don’t fall asleep unless it’s been at least two hours since their evening meal. This last “rule” is probably the most diffi cult for working families to implement. Admittedly, we eat supper at 5:30 p.m. daily – at least that’s the goal. If we miss the mark, it’s guaranteed to be a regu-lar party at bedtime, with sleep the last thing on their minds. If I watch the clock – which I frequently do – I note they nod off precisely at that two hour mark.

There are many in my social and family circles that consider me a fanatic when it comes to good sleep. But the fact is, getting the kids to bed at the same time each day is not only good for their health, it’s good for mine too. If I can count on them bedding down routinely, I can have “grown-up time” every night. That means more time for reading books, talking to my husband, catching up with friends or catching up on work – al-though admittedly, I don’t like working on a computer in the evening – it has a negative effect on my sleep.

Good health starts with a good night’s sleep

R0011939691-0228


EMC news - When wrestler Devon Nicholson and fi lm-maker Max Moskal wrapped up fi lming for This is Hanni-bal, there wasn’t a very happy ending to the story.

Nicholson was wrestling professionally when he con-tracted hepatitis C, a life-threatening disease transmis-sible by blood.

Because of this, he had to put his dreams on hold, unable to wrestle in the World Wres-tling Entertainment league.

There is currently a court case underway to determine if another wrestler gave Nich-olson the disease when he cut him with a razor during a match, which Nicholson al-leges. The facts have not yet been decided in court.

But since the initial shock of his diagnosis, he’s redis-covered amateur wrestling, winning a silver medal at the Olympic Trails for Greco-Ro-man wrestling and beginning a new experimental treatment for his hepatitis c.

“The fi rst one kind of end-ed on a sad note,” Nicholson said of This Is Hannibal. “I don’t want people to give up on me, because I’ve never given up on anything. But I’m known as the guy that lost his WWE contract, and I want to be known for my athletics and the positive things I’ve done, like bring awareness.”

So Moskal and Nicholson, both from Orléans, sat down to do a follow-up, an inter-view that spiraled into a full blown second part of the This Is Hannibal documentary.

“I wanted him to say a cou-ple words about what’s hap-pened since (we last fi lmed),”

Moskal said. “He ended up speaking for about 20 min-utes, and it was so moving I completely re-did the docu-mentary.”

The new version will de-but on March 3 at 6 p.m. at the Mayfair Theatre on Bank Street near Sunnyside Av-enue.

This is the “100 per cent fi -

nal version,” Moskal said. “You can’t force an end-

ing, it just has to happen,” he said. “Now it’s complete, and it gives people hope.”

The fi rst half of the docu-mentary was shot in October 2011 and the second update was just shot this month.

LIFE AFTER

When Nicholson wasn’t al-lowed to professionally wres-tle anymore – he couldn’t be licensed because of his hepa-titis C – he decided to pursue amateur wrestling, something he had excelled at previously.

The former Cairine Wilson Secondary School wrestler trained his way to a silver medal at the Olympic trials for the 2012 Games in Greco-Roman wrestling.

Currently undergoing an experimental treatment that he hopes will cure him of hepatitis C, he plans to use the

next three years to train and qualify for the 2016 Games – the last year wrestling will be an Olympic sport.

“I think if I dedicate myself to Greco Roman wrestling, I thin I could have a chance,” Nicholson said. “I’ll still be in my prime for the next Olym-pics.”

He’s been undergoing an experimental treatment after travelling to the Mayo Clinic in the United States for test-ing and consultations with specialists.

If he can test negative for hepatitis C, he can participate in MMA, mixed martial arts, and try and be liscensed to wrestle professionally again – going through the start of the 36-week treatment has been a nightmare.

The process has a laundry list of negative side effects, and doesn’t allow him to do the thing he loves most, train. It includes increased doses of

the two drugs usually used to treat hepatitis C, and a dose of a third experimental drug.

It can cause insomnia, weight loss, mental issues and intense itching, Nicholson said. On his fi rst round, he made it to week 19, and is currently on week 19 of a second round, trying to get through 36 weeks of the treatment.

“I would rather be punched in the face 20 times by a UFC champion than ever experi-ence anything like that itching again,” he said.

But he has been told that the treatment has an 86 per cent chance of curing him hopes as soon as September tests come back negative for hepatitis c.

Despite still being in the midst of the nine-month treat-ment, he’s remained hopeful and is setting new goals for the next few years, not ready to give up his athletic career yet.

This is Hannibal’s March 6 showing will be the fi rst time that this new part of Nichol-son’s life will be shown on the big screen.

With extra behind-the-scenes footage following the documentary, the total show time will be 90 minutes. Be-cause of the topic of the mov-ie, it is not recommended for children.

The movie shows wres-tling shot at Cairine Wilson and various parts of Orléans, so Nicholson and Moskal are both hoping to see famil-iar faces out at the Mayfair screening of the movie.

“Nothing’s going to stop me this time (from fi nishing the treatment),” Nicholson said. “Last time I wasn’t really public that I was on treatment. This time everyone knows and I’ve been trying to spread awareness.”

EMC news - The city is ready to hand out $50,000 to groups who want to oppose a landfi ll and recycling centre in Carlsbad Springs.

Last year, city council ap-proved grants for groups that want to review the environ-ment assessment study for the proposed Capital Re-source and Recovery Centre. The money will allow citizen groups to hire professionals to assist them in reviewing the study.

Interested groups can fi ll out an application with infor-mation about their organiza-tion, how much money they need, specifi c details about how the money would be spent and a petition with the names and signatures of 50 Ottawa residents who support the group’s plans.

The main group that has been opposing the project in Ottawa is called Dump This Dump 2. Its president, Sue Langlois, told the EMC in an email that the group would defi nitely apply for the fund-ing. But the funding “isn’t go-ing to go very far,” consider-ing what the group needs, she wrote.

“We’re looking at funds for an environmental planner (to research and prove that there is no need for another landfi ll

in Ottawa, so this way it’s not just us saying this),” Langlois wrote. “We’re also looking to get an environmental lawyer on board. We have a hydro-geologist currently working with us but we may also need

some of this funding to help with some additional research at the technical level as well.”

The city is making the funding available now that Taggart Miller has announced it prefers the Boundary Road

site in Carlsbad Springs for its landfi ll and recycling centre. The company had originally looked at a site outside Otta-wa’s limits in Russell Town-ship, but expanded its search after residents there strongly

opposed the idea.The Capital Resource and

Recovery Centre would dis-pose of waste produced by the construction, commercial and institutional sectors.

A statement from Hubert

Bourque, project manager for Taggart Miller, said in a state-ment that the Carlsbad site south of Highway 417 is best suited the company’s needs.“The site has outstanding transportation links, is under-lain by a deep clay deposit that provides very good natu-ral containment for the land-fi ll and other facilities, and is beside an existing industrial park,” he stated.

There will be two open houses as part of the envi-ronmental assessment study to determine whether Tag-gart Miller gets approval for the site. One will be on Feb. 25 from 4 to 9 p.m. at Carls-bad Community Centre, 6020 Eighth Line Rd., and on Feb. 27 from 4 to 9 p.m. at the Rus-sell Arena at 1084 Concession St., Russell.

If the environmental studies anre in order and the company gets the province’s OK, the city would be asked to move forward on zoning and offi -cial plan amendments, which would take at least another 18 months.

The company is a partner-ship between local construc-tion giant Taggart Group and a larger Canadian company, Miller Waste, which runs re-cycling and waste facilities. Information about the facility can be found at www.crrrc.ca.

Funding available for dump opposition groups

Residents have been vocally opposed to the dumps proposed in Russell and Carlsbad Springs. Taggart recently an-nounced it prefers the Carlsbad Springs site, and the city will provide opposition groups with funding to fi ght the development.

EMC lifestyle - Foccacia is an Italian flat bread like pizza, but without the sauce and the dough is thicker. It makes great snacks or serves as an accompaniment to soups or salads.

Preparation time: 15 min-utes

Rising time: 45 minutes Cooking time: 25 minutes

INgredIeNts

• 500 g (1 lb) pizza dough or frozen bread dough, thawed• 45 ml (3 tbsp) olive oil, divided• 340 g (3/4 lb) fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced - you can use a mix-ture of white, crimini, portabella, shiitake and oyster mushrooms• 250 ml (1 cup) thinly sliced red or sweet onion• 7 ml (1 1/2 tsp) dried oregano or Italian mixed herbs • 1 clove garlic, minced• 8 black olives, pitted and sliced (optional)

• Coarsely ground black pepper to taste• 15 ml (1 tbsp) grated Parmesan cheese

PreParatIoN

Lightly grease a baking sheet and place dough on it. With floured hands, press out the dough into a 27 by 17-cen-timetre (11-by-7 inch) oval. Brush with 10 ml (2 tsp) of the oil and let rise in a warm place for 45- 60 minutes. (To create a warm place for dough to rise, turn oven on to 100 C (200 F) for one minute, then turn it off and place the dough inside the warm oven.)

Meanwhile, heat the re-maining oil in large skillet. Sauté the mushrooms and on-ions for four minutes or until moisture has evaporated. Add the oregano and garlic, cook for one additional minute. Let cool slightly.

With thumb or end of wooden spoon make dimpled

surface on the foccacia and top with the mushroom mix-ture, pressing lightly into dough. Top with olives if you’re using them, as well as the black pepper and Parme-san. Bake at 200 C (400 F) for 20 to 25 minutes or until bottom is lightly browned and crisp. Cool slightly on wire rack. Cut in wedges or slices to serve.

Makes 12 pieces

Tips: Prepare your own dough using half whole wheat flour to make it more nutri-tious.

Kalamata or Nicoise olives cured in oil or brine are more flavourful than canned olives.

Variations: Crumble goat cheese on top of baked focca-cia and return to warm to melt. Pass herb or spiced flavoured oil to drizzle on as desired.

Mushroom foccacia makes a great snack

The Ministry of Natural Resources reminds people that it is not necessary to feed deer this winter.

reasoNs Not to Feed deer

• Using the wrong feed can result in digestive problems. People may inadvertently do more harm than good through improper feeding practices.

• Feeding may encourage more deer in an area than the habitat can support. This can result in poor reproduction, smaller fawns, and higher winter mortality rates.

• Deer-vehicle collisions may occur as deer cross roads to and from feeders.

• Deer that come to feeders may lose their natural fear of humans and cause conflicts at other times of the year.

• A concentration of deer around artificial feeders can tempt natural predators of deer such as wolves to change their natural habits and come closer to populated areas.

• Concentrating deer in an area increases the risk of disease transmission be-tween animals. Although Chronic Wasting Disease has not been found in On-tario in wild animals, there are concerns that encourag-ing concentrations of deer increases the risk and speed of disease transmission.

artIFICIaL FeedINg

• Deer are designed to store fat, reduce their metabolism and successfully process that fat in the winter while feeding on natural foods according to their daily needs. If deer be-come dependent on artificial feed their metabolic rate in-creases and they require more food to survive.

• When artificial feed-ing stops, deer can die from the resulting stress. In areas where natural food is plenti-ful, supplemental feeding can do more harm than good.

Please do not feed deer

Although Father kept telling Mother there was a lot of winter left,

she refused to believe him.She was sure she saw a

robin. Father said it was a blackbird.

I was never sure if Mother hated the winter because we were locked in for weeks, only venturing as far as church and Briscoe’s General Store, with trips into Renfrew – only if it was necessary – or because she remembered milder weather this time of year in her beloved New York.

But by the time February started to wane, Mother’s patience with the snow, the bitterly cold nights huddled together in the drafty kitchen to keep warm and the frost-covered windows all took their toll on Mother’s usually happy mood.

Even though the days were getting longer, the evenings stretched out before her and I could tell she ached for spring and warm nights, when she could open the windows and feel the cool country air coming in.

One Friday evening she announced that even if the snow came down in buckets, she was going into Renfrew in the morning and yes, I could go with her. The old Model T had long since been

up on blocks in the drive shed, so Queenie would be hitched to the cutter for the 20 kilometre trip into town.

Mother’s peddling eggs, butter and chickens waned during the winter, but that day, under piles of blankets, she was prepared to visit her warm-weather customers so that she could have what was called “egg money” back then, because there were things she needed. She had written out a list and we dressed like mummies, with hot bricks at our feet. We set out, just Mother and me, for the long cold trip into Renfrew.

Queenie’s breath seemed to freeze in the air and the cutter bit deep into the snow along Northcote Side Road, but the fur rug, wrapped tight to our chins, kept us warm. Mother was in much better spirits than she had been all week, for which I was grateful.

We headed right for Walker’s Store after Mother got rid of the chickens, but-ter and eggs, and her little

change purse bulged with coins from her sales. She seemed to know exactly what she was looking for and we headed to the back of the store, pausing for a few sec-onds on the big iron grate in the middle of the store where heat from the coal furnace puffed up warm air.

Here was where the bolts of materials were stored, on long shelves, like books in a library.

Mother said she was there to look at the Dan River cottons.

The sales clerk pulled the first pile down off the shelf and Mother asked if she wouldn’t mind bringing down the pile next to it. I knew exactly what she was looking for. This pile had several bolts of Dan River plaids in glorious mauve and pink colours, the colours of spring.

Mother lifted one bolt off the pile and put it to her nose. She inhaled as if she was smelling a bouquet of roses.

“It’s 19 cents a yard this week,” the sales clerk said,

and I knew she was wonder-ing if Mother could spare such a portly sum. She could indeed. Hadn’t we just sold a cutter full of chickens, butter and eggs?

We left the store with four pieces of Dan River cotton all in the palest of colours, and even though they had been put into a Walker’s Store paper bag, I could smell the sweetness of the new material as I carried the parcel back to the cutter. After a stop at the drug store,

we headed back to the farm and I sat huddled under the fur rug with the parcel of material clutched tight to my chest.

After supper, all of us sat around the big pine table, with the exception of Father who was in his usual spot in front of the Findlay Oval, and Mother took out the pieces of Dan River cotton and spread them out before her. They

would become house dresses, and blouses for Audrey and me, and would provide many an hour of work for Mother, who would do her magic on the old treadle Singer sewing machine.

Before it was bedtime, we could hear the wind picking up outside and the back door shuddered with the storm’s onset. Father put a log as long as a broom handle into the stove and Audrey, with-out being asked, rolled up two small braided rugs and

put them at the bottoms of the doors leading outside and into the summer kitchen. The kitchen was as warm as we could make it.

So Father was right. The back of winter had not been broken -- there was more to come. As the storm raged outside, Mother let out a deep sigh and rubbed her hands over the new pieces of Dan River cotton.

Spring colours help take chill off winterMARY COOK

Mary Cook’s Memories

We left the store with four pieces of Dan River cotton all in the palest of colours, and even though they had been put into a Walker’s Store paper bag, I could smell the sweetness of the new material as I carried the parcel back to the cutter.

Budget 2013A path etched forward for years to come

A little more than two years ago after voters resoundingly opted for change, my council colleagues and I began implementing a more affordable and fiscally conservative path for Ottawa. The days of skyrocketing tax increases were hurting our families’ ability to afford a better quality of life. This destruction has now been replaced with more sustainable progress. In fact, 2013 will contain the lowest increase in six years – 2.09 per cent. For the owner of an average home, it will mean an increase of $67. While our efforts to keep increases as low as possible is coming to fruition, I would be remiss if I did not say that we should strive to better in this regard. The previous council’s decision to hike property taxes at an alarming rate was equally matched by their desire to hike public transit fares for suburban express bus commuters by an astounding 12% annual increase in each and every year of their term.

While some taxpayers prefer vehicles, public transit should be affordable and available to others. In this light, I am pleased that we have kept OC Transpo increases to a reasonable 2.5%. This means that all three of our transit increases do not equal a single increase imposed by the previous council. As a school board trustee, I was flabbergasted to hear from parents who would repeatedly tell me that they couldn’t afford recreation costs that were being increased as much as 40%. With obesity rates tripling over previous generations, I pledged that if I were elected to council we would make recreation more affordable – a pledge that I would keep no matter the cost. To this end, City recreation fees will remain frozen again to the cheer of children and their parents across Ottawa. At times, some policies and decisions are truly no-brainers! I pride myself on the fact that my fiscal conservatism is equally balanced with having a community conscience. As such, it is important for City Hall to continue our focus on investing in the municipal services and infrastructure. In my community, roads that deliver taxpayers to and from their places of employment is paramount. Lest anyone forget the sinkhole when presented with an option to invest in crucial infrastructure rather than pet projects. This is why I voted against another pedestrian bridge over the canal. This is not about whether another bridge would be nice or whether or not people will use it, it’s about maximizing the hard-earned tax dollars sent to City Hall to improve people’s quality of life. When my political active grandmother would regale me with stories, she always impressed upon me that a society is judged by how we treat our most vulnerable residents. This is always at the forefront of my decision-making process, which is why I am proud to support the continued funding for the poor, the homeless and the elderly. I also voted against attempts to rob Peter to pay Paul and lead us back to the unsustainable budgeting of years gone by. In closing, this year’s Budget is etching a path forward for years to come. And while great work has been done to right the ship of the previous council, I am reminded that there is so much work left undone. Over the year, I look forward to the emails, phone calls, meetings, drop-ins from residents as I can confidently say that their wishes and opinions help shape our way forward. After all, we serve at their pleasure and it is their money – we are simply the caretakers of it.

As most of you may know, on January 7th I suffered a heart attack while exercising at a local gym. My exercising at the gym was not the result of a New Year’s resolution, but a commitment I had made to myself months earlier. In fact, I had been exercising, under the supervision of a professional trainer for a few months. For the record, I do not smoke and nor do I abuse alcohol or fatty foods. It was one of those bizarre incidents where three of my ar-teries were in good shape, but for some rea-son, the fourth artery had severe blockage. Despite my commitment to a healthier life-style, there was more I wish I had done before it was too late. As such, given that February is Heart Health Month; I wanted to take this opportunity to highlight it in hopes of ensuring we are all better informed. By adopting a common-sense approach, a heart-healthy lifestyle is one that includes regular exercise of any kind, healthy eating despite our taste buds and sacrifices to main-tain a healthy weight. Like many of you, it’s easier to write these words than to etch them into our daily lives. As I recover, I have delved into this subject, which I clearly ignored for some time. As I learn, I am astonished to learn that 9 out of 10 Canadians over the age of 20 have at least one risk factor for heart disease and stroke. The factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, stress, physi-cal inactivity, poor nutrition, misuse of alcohol and being overweight or obese. I recognize it’s hard for people, especially with busy lives, to begin down this path. However, the Heart and Stroke Foundation is a great start where anyone can begin. For more in-formation, please visit: http://makehealthlast.ca. With a simple click of your mouse, you can begin the journey to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. Further, by visiting Health Canada’s Eat Well and Be Active Educational Toolkit, you can learn about healthy eating and physical activ-ity. For more information, please visit: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/food-guide-aliment/educ-comm/toolkit-trousse/index-eng.php. You may also wish to visit the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Get Active Tip Sheets: http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/hp-ps/hl-mvs/pa-ap/04paap-eng.php. While it’s hard to consider myself lucky, I was truly blessed by suffering this heart attack at the gym and at 32 years old. I was imme-diately tended to by trained staff followed by some of the Ottawa’s finest, firefighters. I have also received great care by so many wonderful nurses and doctors at the Monfort and the Heart Institute. While I would have preferred not suffering a heart attack ever, I will be better because of it. I am reminded that my son is three years old and needs his father, along with my ever supportive wife. Together, we will make this journey to a healthier and better life.

EMC news – Two local singers are in the running for some of Canada’s top mu-sical honours.

Orléans country singer Kira Isabella was nominated for her first Juno award as breakthrough artist of the year, with a second Orléans artist, Kristina Maria, nominated for

Both Kira and Kristina use their middle names as their performing names instead of their legal last names.

Kira Isabella was nominated alongside Cold Specks, Elisapie, Grimes and The Weeknd.

Singles like A Little More Work and Songs About You from her first full al-bum have been getting regular radio play over the year, and she opened for Carrie Underwood in Ottawa in December.

A St. Peter High School graduate, she said in a December interview with the EMC that she’s played at almost every venue in Ottawa at some point.

“I can honestly say I’ve played ev-ery old age home in Ottawa, every fair, wedding, pretty much anywhere people would listen to us sing,” she said of the Alex and Kira show, her performances with another Ottawa artist, Alex Lac-asse.

Kristina Maria, a Garneau high school graduate, has been successful in both French and English radio with a variety of songs like Co-Pilot getting significant

air time. Her album Tell the World was nomi-

nated for pop album of the year along-side Carly Rae Jepsen, Justin Bieber,

Nelly Furtado and Victoria Duffield. The nominees were announced in To-

ronto on Feb. 19 for the April 21 awards being presented in Regina.

Building a Liveable Ottawa Official Plan and Master Plan review

Starting in 2013, the City of Ottawa will begin its review of the strategic documents that guide the development of our city. They include the Official Plan, Transportation Master Plan, Infrastructure Master Plan, Cycling Plan and Pedestrian Plan. When completed, the Building a Liveable Ottawa 2031 project will set the directions, policies and affordability priorities that will influence the future of the city for years to come.

Help us build this great city! The community input will inform the decisions made by politi-cians and city planners every day, and is impor-tant in this master planning initiative.

The policy directions set over the next year will determine how we live, grow, play, travel, and prosper as a city. Get involved and learn how these decisions not only affect the future of the city but also your own life in this city.

Visit www.BeaconHillCyrville.ca and take part in the survey and help form our city. The deadline is March1st.

Earl Armstrong Arena accessibility upgrades

On February 21, 2013, I joined Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau, Mayor Watson and fellow Eastern Block Councillors Rainer Bloess and Bob Monette for an important joint announce-ment.

Through FedDev Ontario’s Community Infra-structure Improvement Fund, close to $1.1 million will be invested in four projects in Ottawa’s east end to improve access to munici-pal infrastructure.

In Beacon Hill-Cyrville, Earl Armstrong Arena needs extensive upgrades to meet our accessi-bility requirements.

The Federal Government and City of Ottawa will contribute a combined total of $428,00 and work will include a retrofit of washrooms and change rooms, replacement of doors through-out the facility, and modified existing elevator, halls and stairs for accessibility.

The Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) aims to support the rehabilitation and improvement, including expansion, of existing community infrastructure.

Work should be completed by February 2014.

Should you have questions or comments, please contact me at 613-580-2481 or visit www.BeaconHillCyrville.ca.

EMC news - February has brought an increase in car

thefts to the Fallingbrook and Avalon areas, said Orléans community police Const. Car-oline Tessier.

The majority of the thefts from cars are from vehicles that have been left unlocked and items taken range from electronics to change left in a console.

Tessier recommends lock-ing the car first of all, but also using or purchasing a centre console to store valuables like GPS devices to keep them out of sight, or removing them

completely. “If they can see it, they can

take it,” she said. When cars are left parked

unlocked in a driveway, they often have electronic garage openers easily accessible, which can allow thieves easy access to the home.

She recommended that residents call the police at 613-230-6211 if they see a suspicious vehicle or person in their neighbourhood. Call 911 for an actual crime in progress.

EMC news - If the sales of one charity calendar can raise $10,000 for multiple sclerosis, why not aim for $20,000?

That’s what Ottawa yoga instructor Natalie Van Tas-sel decided to do: stretch her resources a little further to launch a new charity calendar campaign for 2014.

It was from the moment Van Tassel, who is also a nurse, found out her 23 year-old son had multiple sclerosis that she made a vow to work every day to raise funds and awareness for disease. Her fi rst effort produced the 2013 Yoga for Multiple Sclerosis calendar for sale kast November, showcas-ing yogis from across the city in action. The sales went really well and Van Tassel managed to cover her costs while raising $10,000 for Multiple Sclerosis of Canada’s Ottawa chapter.

Now she said it is time to raise the bar and raise $20,000 this year, funds she intends to split between the MS Society of Canada and to the Ottawa Hospital Foundation to help

with MS research.“Because we are making it

bigger this year, now I need time to build the other aspects of what I am planning,” Van Tassel said. “On the website, I will be promoting the calendar, but for me it is also about rais-ing awareness for MS. If peo-ple were aware of the impact of the disease, I think there would be more support.”

Van Tassel’s son, Oliver, had just graduated from uni-versity when his fi rst multiple sclerosis attack happened. At fi rst, Van Tassel said she feared her son could be suffering from MS, but had hoped she was wrong. Later, however, he was diagnosed with the disease.

Van Tassel said she always though MS affected people in their 40s, not younger peo-ple. What Van Tassel quickly learned is that it affects people as young as 14. The mother of two admits the fi rst few weeks after Oliver’s diagnosis were extremely hard on her emo-tionally, but practicing yoga and working on the calendar helped her heal.

Van Tassel only had four months to get the 2013 cal-

endar complete before it was to go on sale in time for the holidays. When it came time to decide whether she wanted to create a 2014 calendar, she admits being unsure.

“There were a few times when I thought ‘Should I do this again?’, but really there was never any doubt to do this again.”

On Feb. 24 Van Tassel was honoured for her fund-raising efforts by the Mul-tiple Sclerosis of Canada’s Ottawa chapter. She says the award is a perfect way to help raise awareness about her fundraising efforts and the dis-ease.

“I am happy, but what this award means to me is I am

just a nurse and a mother who wanted to make sure my son was okay,” Van Tassel said. “Because of that I needed to raise money for MS and if a nurse and mother can raise this much money, imagine what more of us could do? We need to all do something more and spread the word.”

To help make the 2014 cal-

endar a reality, the yogi has en-listed some help from friends, family and acquaintances.

Van Tassel said this year the fundraising will go beyond the calendar. With a committee in place, plans are underway to design an interactive web-site where people can donate, purchase a calendar and learn more about MS.

The important thing she pointed out is that all the money will stay local, for local families and individuals living with MS.

Van Tassel said she has been connecting with doctors who will participate in video blog entries to inform people about the disease as well as provide tips to help those who have it.

Yoga will continue to re-main a strong focus which Van Tassel said can help MS-di-agnosed people cope with the disease.

“Yoga is all about medita-tion and breathing; it slows down your nervous sys-tem and allows you to be mindful of the present mo-ment. It helps keep them mo-bile, it offers them strength,” she said.

Natalie Van Tassel has made it her mission in life to help fi nd a cure for multiple sclerosis. Van Tassel, a yoga instructor, worked on her 2013 calendar Yoga for Multiple Sclerosis, which raised $10,000 for the MS Society of Canada’s Ottawa Chapter. This year Van Tassel aims to surpass her goal and raise $20,000 for MS Society and MS research.

Modler and assisted by Ayden Allen, Trevor Desjardins, and Thomas Naciuk, were deter-mined to ensure that the event would continue.

With the support of the school’s principal, Ruggles Pritchard, planning started when the students came back in January.

That gave those involved just six weeks from start to fi nish.

The students arranged practices, booked rentals, planned the menu and chose the music for the night.

Volunteers from the school’s junior band signed up to be the wait help and parents looked after the prep-aration of the food and the running of the silent auction.

Besides the jazz band per-forming, there were also solo vocal performances by Sarah

and Amanda Collie, Rachelle Fisher, Troy Arsenian, Jaime Westmore, Dayna Lawless, and Ayden Allen.

The evening was also the perfect time for the music department to say thank you and good bye to mathematics and music department head David Morrison, who has ac-cepted a position with Speed Skating Canada in Richmond, B.C.

EMC news - The Kiwanis Club of Ottawa, in partner-ship with Mac’s Convenience Stores, is proud to announce a donation of $15,000 to the Jes-sica Carr Endowment Fund for Rett Syndrome at CHEO).

“The Carr family has worked tirelessly to raise money and awareness for this cause and it is great to see (the Kiwanis Club and Mac’s Convenience Stores) rally with them to build the fund that bears Jessica’s name,” said CHEO Founda-tion president and CEO Kevin Keohane.

“It is this type of commit-ment and investment that is so critical to providing hope for children and families affected by this disorder.”

Rett syndrome is a nervous

system disorder that leads to developmental reversals such as the loss of speech and hand use. It is almost exclusive to fe-males, and is sometimes misdi-agnosed as autism or cerebral palsy.

Jessica’s parents, Rick and Rhonda, established the fund at CHEO in 2005 to support medical research, education and treatment for Rett syn-drome in the division of neu-rology.

The money was raised through the Kiwanis TV bingo program.

“We’re happy to see the hard efforts of volunteers go-ing to support such a worth-while cause,” said Howard Whittaker of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa.

EMC news - Darnell Ken-nedy is an avid volunteer, having spent more than 8,000 hours helping at-risk youth in Ottawa.

Now he is attempting to raise $6,500 so he can travel to Africa in May to learn about the challenges facing people living there, helping him to become even better at helping others.

Kennedy comes by help-ing people honestly enough: he grew up in a low-income neighbourhood and said his life turned around at a young age when he had a chance to attend a free summer camp. After six years as a camper and fi ve years as a volunteer camp counsellor, he now wants to spread his volunteering wings abroad.

The trip to Africa is through Operation Groundswell, an organization Kennedy said is founded on ethical travel vol-unteering. It designs trips to expose participants to the day-to-day realities of each region visited.

Kennedy has never traveled before, but said he thought this trip would help him better un-derstand how other countries and regions struggle with and attempt to overcome poverty. When he returns home, Ken-nedy wants to put what he has learned to use in his own back-yard.

“I am really hoping to dis-cover a whole new part of me and with the organization, I am really hoping to learn how we can help ourselves here with a whole new perspective,” he said.

It was Kennedy’s time at the Christie Lake Kids summer camp where the young Uni-

versity of Ottawa student said he learned what it meant to be given a chance.

“Summer camps costs an arm and a leg to go to, but Christie Lake Kids summer camp is free,” he said. “It was the fi rst time I got on the bus I knew I wanted to become more than just a camper. I had never been a way from home before and was sad and scared,

but they (the counsellors) were so welcoming, they were like a family. It was a warm safe en-vironment.”

Now he said he wants to spread that welcoming, family feeling.

“I don’t know what to ex-pect, I am hoping to bring that same warm, welcoming feel-ing to Africa.”

The six-week trip will take

Kennedy and other volunteers to Kibera, Africa’s most popu-lous slum located in Nairobi, Kenya. It will give them the chance to work with interna-tionally renowned artist and peace activist Solo7.

They will cycle through Hell’s Gate National Park, also in Kenya, where the volunteers will learn about the realities

of the genocide in Rwanda. They’ll also visit the white-wa-ter rapids at the source of the Nile in Uganda.

The projects Kennedy and his fellow volunteers will par-ticipate in will depend on the requests from local communi-ty organizations, but some past projects include constructing a bridge, building latrines for a technical school, working at a resource center and running an intercultural women’s political group.

Kennedy has received a $650 grant from Operation Groundswell and he has per-sonally raised $800, but the remaining $5,050 needs to be raised by April 1. To help his efforts, Kennedy will be host-ing a comedy night at Absolute Comedy on March 19. Tickets are $20 per person. The come-dians for the evening are Jason Harper and Dave Merheje. To donate to Kennedy’s cause, visit www.gogetfunding.com/project/african-volunteer-ad-venture.

Avid Ottawa volunteer is looking for support to help abroad

Heatherington resident Darnell Kennedy seeks to raise enough money to volunteer in Africa this spring. Kennedy, who has spent the past fi ve years volunteering at Christie Lake Kids says he wants to travel to the country to get a better understanding of how to help those in need.

EMC news - The owner of a derelict former school in Lowertown has turned to the courts in a bid to tear it down.

Groupe Claude Lauzon fi led an application to On-tario Superior Court on Feb. 20 asking for permission to tear down the building at 287 Cumberland St., which has remained in disrepair for de-cades. The application states the city has known since 2005 that the building has “signifi -cant structural concerns” and did nothing. Groupe Claude Lauzon wants to tear the school down and put up con-dos, but the city refused the company’s demolition appli-cation in 2006 because Lau-zon did not provide plans for what it planned to build on the site instead, which is a re-quirement of the heritage dis-trict policies that apply to the neighbourhood.

On Feb. 1, an engineering report commissioned by Lau-zon revealed the building was at imminent risk of collapse.

That set off the latest chap-ter in the troubled relation-ship between Groupe Claude Lauzon and the city. The city ordered barricades be put up to keep pedestrians and traffi c away from the building in case it fell down.

That led to the court appli-cation, which states “demoli-tion is now a pressing and im-mediate concern and demoli-tion should now be undertaken as soon as possible.”

In the court application, Lauzon took issue with wheth-er the city’s building inspector could order an engineer hired

by Lauzon to hand over docu-ments related to the condition of the building. The school was unsafe for inspectors to enter, and therefore the city’s build-ing inspectors can’t make any orders, the application states. That’s not the case, according to city offi cials, and inspectors were able to enter the building before the court application was even fi led, said Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, who was not impressed by the company taking the issue to the court.

He called the court case an “intimidation tactic.”

“They’re playing games,” Fleury said. “The premise is the issue is that someone didn’t take care of their prop-erty,” and the city has no inten-tion of rewarding that type of behaviour by granting Lauzon what it wants, he said – a de-molition permit with no com-mitment to rebuild something appropriate for the heritage district.

Calls of Groupe Claude Lauzon’s lawyer were not re-turned.

Fleury and Mayor Jim Wat-son’s offi ce have been work-ing on changes to prevent this type of demolition by neglect.

City staff is drafting a pro-posal that would have tighter wording, allowing the city to enforce property standards above the very minimum. Staff is looking to places like Ham-ilton, Kingston and Toronto for direction particularly re-garding upkeep of vacant her-itage buildings, which make up half the approximately 100 vacant properties in Ottawa. A proposal will come forward in the coming weeks or months, Fleury said.

Pet Adoptions

Degus are about the size of a pet rat with a long furry tail, large yes, and mouse-like ears. They make great pets because although they don’t like to be handled, they enjoy human companionship and vocalize with excited chittering or gentle coos to keep you entertained for hours. Degus are highly social animals that are happiest when sharing their habitat with another degu. If possible, keep a pair of the same sex.

perfect for degusIn the wild Degus live in burrows, and by digging

communally, they are able to construct larger and more elaborate burrows than they could on their own. Degus digging together coordinate their activities, forming digging chains. They spend a large amount of time on the surface, foraging for food.

Degus have a wide array of communication techniques. They have an elaborate vocal repertoire comprising up to 15 unique sounds.

Did you know? Degus live from five to ten years, and are prone to diabetes. Never feed a degu fruit or other foods containing sugar, honey, or molasses.

Did you know? Degus are native to the western foothillsoftheAndesinSouthAmerica.

Did you know? Degus have good vision and are sensitive to green and ultraviolet light. Behavioral experiments have shown that degus are able to discriminate ultraviolet light from the wavelengths visible to humans; it is likely that this ultraviolet sensitivity has a social function, since both their stomach fur and their urine are highly UV reflective.

Degus are strictly herbivorous, feeding on grasses and browsing the leaves of shrubs, and seeds. They are intolerant of dietary sugar. Degus are highly susceptible to developing diabetes when fed regularly on a diet containing sugar.

Captive degus need plenty of space to exhibit a full range of normal behaviours. They do best in a metal cage with multiple levels made for rats and secured double latches. It is important to line the levels with grass mats or a soft fabric so that the degus do not get bumble feet.

It is important never to try to catch a degu by the tail because it will fall off easily and is painful to the creature. If this occurs it will not grow back.

Degus often ‘groom’ their human owners, by a gentle nibbling action, and readily bond with any person spending time with them. Degus will bathe themselves if given a bowl of chinchilla dust weekly.

Is a degu the right pet for you?

Meet brothers, Alvin and Simon! These two-year-old male agouti Degus are just two of the many small animals available for adoption at the OttawaHumaneSociety.

They have been at the shelter since February 14, when they were surrendered by their owner.

They currently both have a shy and timid disposition at the moment, and they need an owner who is willing to put in the extra time needed to help them blossom to their full potential.

They are bonded, and would do best if they are kepttogether!

These gems would rather not live in a home with cats, and they need a large terrarium with a wheel that is made of solid metal.

Alvin and Simon are heavy chewers who arevery curious in nature and need lots of safe items to keep them busy, entertained and maintain their teeth.

To learn more about Alvin and Simon, please contact the Ottawa Humane Society at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or come visit our new location, 245 West Hunt Club Road.

EMC news - An enthusiastic crowd of over 500 people gath-ered in Portobello Park for the Portobello South Community Development Association’s in-augural Winter Family Fun Day to enjoy outdoor activities.

“We are just thrilled with the turnout at our first winter event and hope to build on the suc-cess next year,” said association president Pamela Moss. “The weather co-operated, we had a beautiful sunny day, and you could just see from all the smiles that people were having a great time.”

Kids and adults played hock-ey and snow games, piled onto horse-drawn sleighs, skated and warmed up with some hot choc-olate and cookies. A heated tent provided a cozy gathering spot and station for kids to make bird feeders and while local fiddler Chantale Gaudet-Rice enter-tained the community with some lively French-Canadian music.

All activities were free, cour-tesy of funding from the City of Ottawa and volunteer assistance from the Portobello South asso-ciation and the community.

Formed in 2007, the Porto-bello South Community Devel-opment Association represents 20,000 residents along the Por-tobello Boulevard in the catch-ment area between Innes Road to the north and Brian Coburn Road to the south, Trim Road to the east and Tenth Line Road to the west.

“RURURU!” My name is Bailey. I’m 10 years old and I’m an adorable shitzu mixed with a cockapoo. I love to suckle on soft toys, wrestle, lick my mom’s big nose, bounce in the snow, and spin around on my bum on the carpet! (my mom gets mad at me for doing that...) Over the past 2 years I’ve been through some ups and downs. I was already diagnosed with mitral valve disease at the age of 6, then I developed kidney stones and had to get them surgically removed. Boy! The recovery period was worse than being neutured! There’s some special food I have to eat now so I don’t develop them again - so far so good! I’ve also developed diabetes about 2 years ago. I get an insulin injection right after breakfast and another right after dinner; they’re not that fun, but I take them like a good boy and I get a handful of kibbles after each one (because I can’t have treats anymore). Unfortunately, due to my diabetes, I’ve rapidly developed cataracts and I can’t see so well, but my family is really positive and they help me cope with finding my way around. The plan is to eventually have another surgery to get some of my sight back, but until then I’m just going to have to “ruff” it. Regardless, I’m always happy and I love life! Look at me mommy, daddy, Jessi, and Mikey, I’m in the newspaper!

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, a mountain of responsibility has put pressure on you. Although you cannot shy away from what has to be done, you can put a smile on your face when tackling your tasks.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, something special will take place in the next few days and you will be on hand to experience all of it. Magical moments are to be made with a romantic partner.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you may want to think before you speak when a friend asks for advice. The truth might hurt, so it could be wise to keep quiet for the time being.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, a stroke of inspiration leads you on a creative journey. Things will calm down toward the end of the week when you have to focus on more tangible things.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, someone you know wants to step things up to another level, but you may not be ready to take that kind of plunge. Talk over your feelings in a kind way.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, family has been on your mind lately, and you may feel it’s best to spend the majority of your free time at home rather than out. Make good use of your time.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, a chance encounter has you rethinking what you want to accomplish in the next few weeks. You are second-guessing all of your plans because of this surprise.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22A decision you made could have long-term effects, Scorpio. You’ll probably find that you have to do some damage control this week to get things back on track.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, all indications point to a monumental change in your life. Wait to see what occurs and put big decisions or vacations on hold.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, it can be tempting to toss away your responsibilities and simply have fun. But then you will be so backed up it could take quite a while to dig out from under your to-do list.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, just when you need a bit of sunshine, a satisfying piece of good news arrives. Your spouse or partner plays a significant role in this positive development.

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, a mountain of responsibility has put pressure on you. Although you cannot shy away from what has to be done, you can put a smile on your face when tackling your tasks.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, something special will take place in the next few days and you will be on hand to experience all of it. Magical moments are to be made with a romantic partner.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you may want to think before you speak when a friend asks for advice. The truth might hurt, so it could be wise to keep quiet for the time being.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, a stroke of inspiration leads you on a creative journey. Things will calm down toward the end of the week when you have to focus on more tangible things.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, someone you know wants to step things up to another level, but you may not be ready to take that kind of plunge. Talk over your feelings in a kind way.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, family has been on your mind lately, and you may feel it’s best to spend the majority of your free time at home rather than out. Make good use of your time.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, a chance encounter has you rethinking what you want to accomplish in the next few weeks. You are second-guessing all of your plans because of this surprise.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22A decision you made could have long-term effects, Scorpio. You’ll probably find that you have to do some damage control this week to get things back on track.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, all indications point to a monumental change in your life. Wait to see what occurs and put big decisions or vacations on hold.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, it can be tempting to toss away your responsibilities and simply have fun. But then you will be so backed up it could take quite a while to dig out from under your to-do list.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, just when you need a bit of sunshine, a satisfying piece of good news arrives. Your spouse or partner plays a significant role in this positive development.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, a tangled web is forming around you, but with quick wit you will manage to steer clear of the melee.

Show Your Heart Some LovePublished in Stroke on February 08, 2013

On Valentine’s Day, the heart was celebrated and we saw its image everywhere. However, with all these heart-shaped candies and paper cut-outs, have you ever stopped to think about the flesh-and-blood heart that keeps you alive? In terms of cardiovascular health, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarctions or cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs or strokes), can have serious consequences, including death.

Taking care of your heart on a daily basis is something everyone can do. Here is some valuable advice:
