EMC arts - Bands can be composed of any combination of instruments, but an Orl-ans musician has put together

a unique combination: four saxophones.

saxophones playing, they do a double take, said baritone sax player Jarrod Goldsmith, who founded the group.

EMC news - Shefford Park could be home to the citys newest Sensplex.

The city has been looking for someone to build and run a multi-pad arena at the Beacon Hill park, and it looks like Ot-tawa Community Ice Partners (OCIP) is stepping up to the plate.

The citys finance commit-tee was set to vote on Monday to approve negotiations with the group after OCIPs initial proposal for a new arena met the citys criteria.

Coun. Tim Tierney, who opined about his desire for a Sensplex-like facility when the city issued its request in April, said he couldnt be happier.

Im very happy its the Sens organization. Its great news, Tierney said. Obvi-ously they have a great track record in the west end of the city and I am very hopeful that well see pen to paper and get this tied up before the end of the year.

The group already runs the Bell Sensplex in West Car-leton, which opened in 2004.

Obviously they have name recognition and they have done this before, said Tierney.

Brier DoDge/MetrolanDThe group that runs the Bell Sensplex in Kanata has come forward with a proposal for a similar facility in Beacon Hill to replace the aging Potvin Arena.

Continued from front

they know how to operate a facil-ity, tierney said.

at the same time, tierney said he would have been happy to see any-one step up the important thing is that the east end gets more ice.

tierney is a hockey dad, so he

knows the east-end arena challenges well.

if you want to hold a tournament in the east end of the city (and) there is no administrative function that can take care of it, tierney said. in the west end, they do it all.

if the new facility is approved, it would likely create some jobs in

the east end a nice bonus, tierney said.

the details arent finalized and there are no agreements signed, but

the city and oCiP would be looking to have the new arena open by the first half of 2014, tierney said.

the city had originally set aside $4.3 million to renovate the aging Potvin arena at the site.

But discussions between com-munity members, the councillor and city staff made it clear that the types

of upgrades needed would cost a minimum of $18 million, and build-ing everything the community felt was needed would run around $28 million.

thats when the city decided to put out a request to see if any busi-ness was interested in building and running an arena there.

New east end arena could open in 2014In the west end, they do it all.TIm TIerney Beacon HIll-cyrvIlle councIllor

EMC news - A public con-sultation will be held next month to address what should be done about the problem of abandoned shopping carts in the city.

The consultation will be held at the Earl Armstrong Arena on Sept. 11 and will call on resi-dents to help come up with the ideal way to collect runaway carts as well as deterring people from taking carts away from re-tail outlets in the first place.

Residents who attend the meeting will have a chance to work in small focus groups, sharing ideas on three topics: ways to collect and return aban-doned carts; educational pro-grams and initiatives to prevent carts from being removed; and the implementation of enforce-ment or a bylaw.

The information gathered at this consultation will be used during the implementation of a pilot project in Beacon-Hill-Cyrville and Rideau-Vanier wards. The pilot project will be monitored to determine wheth-er it is effective in reducing the number of abandoned shop-ping carts in these two com-munities.

The issue of runaway shop-ping carts was initially raised in November 2011, when Bea-con-Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim

Tierney brought it to the citys transportation committee.

At the time, Tierney made weekly jaunts around his ward, photographing errant carts and sending city crews to clean them up.

Its costing us money and fuel for the vehicles, he said at the time. Shopping carts are rampant. They are all over the place.

The transportation commit-tee directed staff to examine the costs and benefits of creating a program to retrieve abandoned carts. A report released in May noted the city collects about 1,000 carts in the downtown area and 450 carts in the citys east end per year.

When Tierney first brought the issue to the committee, he had wanted to charge retailers $20 for every shopping cart the city collected.

The report took this idea into consideration and highlighted what other cities across Canada do to deal with the problem and the scheme may be among those explored by residents at the consultation.

The consultation will take place on Sept. 11 from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Earl Armstrong Arena at 2020 Ogilvie Rd. on the main floor. To reserve a spot in advance, residents can contact Leslie Vanclief at 613-580-2424 ext. 27945 or [email protected].

Ottawa remembers Dieppe Raid on 70th anniversaryBrier [email protected]

EMC news A crowd gathered at the war memorial in downtown Ottawa on Aug. 19 to remember the 70th an-niversary of the Dieppe Raid.

Veterans and military of-ficials alike gathered for the 45-minute ceremony, which included speeches from Ot-tawa-Orlans MP Royal Gal-ipeau and Walt Natynczyk, chief of defence staff.

Today, if the Canadian Forces are respected, its be-cause of our veterans, and their service to Canada, be-cause of their extraordinary example, because of their high standards, because they trained us so well, said Natynczyk. We march in their footsteps, we sail in their wake, and we fly on their wings.

Special guest Jacques Cing-Mars was also recog-nized.

The 92-year old Dieppe veteran, now in a wheelchair, was the guest of honour, and received a large round of ap-plause as he placed a wreath.

The Dieppe Raid happened on Aug. 19, 1942 during the Second World War in Dieppe, France. Its remembered as one of the most devastating

parts of Canadian military history, with over 900 Cana-dians killed in action.

Its also known as having shaped the Allied approach to successful Normandy land-ings on D-Day, June 6, 1944.

Our successes are a part of, and built upon, (the veter-ans) proud legacy, Natync-zyk said.

We thank them for their contribution in the fight for freedom.

Official Canadian Forces pipers and the ceremonial guard band performed, and wreaths were placed on be-half of a number of groups, including diplomatic rep-resentatives and Canadian youth.

In France, a ceremony was held at the Canada Memorial Square in Dieppe, with Gov-ernor General David John-ston and minister of veteran affairs Steven Blaney.

EMC news - For one Ottawa com-munity service provider, chrome and leather are a must for its annual fundraiser.

The Eastern Ottawa Resource Centres third annual Cruise Dont Bruise: Bikers Against Violence fundraiser will take place on Sept. 15. It aims to raise money for the centres anti-violence programs.

Geraldine Dixon, a volunteer at the centre who also rides a motor-cycle, fi nds the fundraiser important for both the centre and the motorcy-cling community.

It is a good thing when we come together to make a difference. It is about changing one life at a time. Dixon said. The biker community really has gotten behind this event and happy to help give back.

The centre served 1,962 clients between April 2011 and March 2012

through its women and violence pro-gram. Although it receives funding from the province and the city, pro-gram manager Isabelle Miron said the money raised allows the cen-tre more freedom when it comes to helping clients.

We are social workers, we want to help the women who need help, Miron said.

That is why we need a bit of money to have the freedom to help them, any way we can.

Last years event raised $12,000 and organizers are hoping to raise even more money this year.

Abuse is on the rise and is hap-pening to everyone, Miron said. The spectrum is on the rise and the money is becoming rarer.

Dixon is excited to participate again this year. Shes been a rider for four years and has found this event is always a great place to make new friends as well as to catch up with old ones.

The camaraderie spills from the biker community to the centres community, Miron said.

Both women said the best part of the event is seeing the long line of bikers before they take off on the ride.

It is an impressive sight to see,

Miron said. People are helping out and it is all so positive and is so great - I am almost in tears thinking about it.

Dixon invites all riders and their

friends to come out to support the fundraiser.

The route starts at the Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre located at 2339 Ogilvie Rd., travelling to the

centres satellite location at 1515 Tenth Line Rd. There will be a bar-becue after the ride. To register, call 613-741-6025 or visit the centres website www.eorc-creo.ca.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

To the editor,,In May 2008, the government of Ontario

announced that Orlans would receive a medical facility for primary and community care. While not a hospital, the facility would allow area residents to be assessed and where possible treated for health issues that did not require hospitalization. Groundbreaking for the $150 million Orlans Family Health Hub had been expected to start in March 2011 for an opening in 2013. If construction which is

estimated to take two plus years were started now, which it wont; the earliest the facility would be ready is in 2014. Assuming the government had allocated the funding in their future year fi nancial planning, as had been im-plied by their promise to build, there would be more than a sign on the vacant land right now. The government needs to explain the reason for the delay.

Dale BoireOrlans, Ont.

We expect shock and dismay when a place like Westboro Sports closes a family-owned business with 48 years of close connection to the community; or when the beloved New-port Restaurant announces that it will downsize and clear out of its historic location.

But we dont expect shock and dismay when a shopping centre passes. After all, we associ-ate malls with chain ownership, chain food and with the squeezing out of local businesses. But look at what happened when the roof fell in on a shopping centre in the town of Elliott Lake, forcing the mall to close.

The mall building contained 60 per cent of local businesses, as well as the library and some government offi ces. As reported in the Globe and Mail, the community is stunned and saddened. People have no place to go, said one local woman. That was their favourite place to be. They liked to hang out there in the mall. Thats just how people were.

With all the sentimental attachment we have toward the small independent business of years gone by, we shouldnt forget that its possible to get sentimental about shopping centres, too.

After all, they have been with us for four or fi ve decades. And for a lot of neighborhoods, not to mention smaller communities, the local shopping centre is the closest thing they have to a main street. Take a careful look the next time youre in Carlingwood or Billings Bridge or St. Laurent or Westgate. People use those places for more than shopping.

They meet their friends, they have lunch, they have coffee, they take power walks.

Mostly, they hang out. Older people hang out, teenagers hang out. You should never underes-timate the importance of hanging out. Top-level hanging out enhances our quality of life.

Sure, some of us wish the hanging out was in the open air. Some of us wish the open air was on open streets fi lled with locally-owned shops. But that doesnt seem to be what has been happening since the fi rst shopping centres were invented. Looking down the road a few years, when the current shopping centres wears out, we can anticipate a wave of nostalgia.

Remember when we used to park on the second deck and take the escalator to the Sports Experts? people will say, a bit like what they say now about riding their bikes to the malt shop or, driving their large cars, powered by leaded gasoline, to the drive-in movie.

Anything can be the subject of nostalgia. There was a movie a few years ago about a woman who pined for the lifestyle of East Berlin, before the wall came down. So its no surprise that people in the future will look fondly back on the mall, remembering when there were fi ve jewelry stores, a tax place, a CD store, a video store, a book store. Remember CDs? Remember videos? Remember books?

People may even wax nostalgic about the awful and inescapable music coming out of the ceiling. So perhaps the mall is worth saving after all. As Elliott Lakes plight demonstrates, the malls importance grows in a cold climate. Since, despite everything, we still have a cold climate, it may be time to stop lamenting the mall. By coming to terms with it we have an opportunity to campaign for changes that will mall life more interesting.

It goes without saying that more local stores and eating places would help, but the changes can go beyond that. Elliott Lakes idea of a library in a mall is brilliant. Sunday markets in those vast parking lots might be popular. Small performance spaces and exhibit spaces for local artists and musicians would enhance the shopping centre experience and benefi t the community. After all, if Tunneys Pasture can be humanized, anything is possible.

Maybe the mall is worth saving

While our politicians talk about putting students fi rst with controversial legislation proposals, we can all do our part for young people when motorists begin seeing a lot of yellow starting next week.

Fleets of school buses will fl ood our streets as children return to elementary and high schools.

Most schools welcome students back the day after Labour Day, Sept. 4, but the

French public and Catholic boards open a week earlier.

The colour yellow in motorists language always translates to one word: cau-tion.

Motorists must keep their eyes open for children wait-ing on street corners.

Kids will be kids, which usually means they are in constant motion.

We must always remem-ber the fi rst rule of defensive driving: expect the unex-pected.

Children tend to offer a lot of unexpected behaviour, which occasionally involves a mad dash across the street chasing a ball or friend wait-ing at a bus stop.

Drivers would do well to drive a little more slowly the fi rst few weeks of Septem-ber.

They might also want to reacquaint themselves with the rules of driving when ap-proaching a stopped school bus with its lights fl ashing.

The fl ashing lights mean cars must come to a halt to allow children to board the bus.

It also allows children and

parents to safely cross the street.

By law, traffi c in both directions must stop anytime a school bus is stopped with its overhead alternating signal lights fl ashing.

If the danger of hitting a child with your vehicle isnt reason enough, failing to stop for a school bus can result in a $400 to $2,000 fi ne upon conviction and six demerit points given to a motorists drivers license.

And thats only for a fi rst

conviction.Each subsequent offence

can result in fi nes ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 together with six demerit points and possible impris-onment up to six months.

Staying alert while behind the wheel and being aware of the rules of the road governing school buses is everyones responsibility.

Were all winners if we educate ourselves about the rules of the road and school bus safety.

Motorists must be mindful as students return to classThe colour yellow in motorists language always translates to one word: caution.

EMC news The city and Plasco Energy Group could be days away from finalizing contracts needed to bring a world-first garbage-to-energy plant in Ottawa.

The company has been qui-et for the past eight months, since city council signed off on the terms of the deal last December.

The contract will make Ot-tawa the first city in the world to use Plascos plasma gasifi-cation technology to take left-over residential garbage and use a novel plasma process to turn it into electricity.

It has taken eight months, but final contracts are right around the corner, said Plasco CEO Rod Bryden.

I think that both the city and we thought that wed be done maybe two months ago, Bryden said.

The delay amounts to the meticulous care the city and its lawyers have taken when it comes to analyzing every word in the series of six agreements that will soon be signed.

Environment committee chairwoman Coun. Maria McRae was pleased to hear that.

These are very compli-cated technical legal agree-ments, she said. Council

did not give a mandate to city manager to execute them quickly, he was asked to ex-ecute them thoroughly.

Last December, city man-ager Kent Kirkpatrick said the deal is a good one for the city.

We have been very, very diligent in protecting the citys interests if this works out and if it doesnt (work out), Kirkpatrick said at the time.

Part of that confidence comes from the willingness of international investors to put their money into Plascos plan. The due diligence of corporations that are invest-ing millions of dollars into the projects is something the city can take as a sign of faith. If that money and faith is still there when Plasco begins constructing the facility, its a good sign, Kirkpatrick said.

Bryden spoke to the EMC following a presentation to municipal politicians from across the province at the As-sociation of Municipalities of Ontario conference held in Ottawa from Aug. 19 to 22.

He said his company is already in the process of tendering for production of the equipment needed for the plant, which will process 109,500 tonnes of Ottawas residential garbage each year.

Construction on the site near the Trail Road landfill

will begin this spring, Bryden said, and it should wrap up by the first three months of 2014. After a six-month condition-ing period, it will be ready for full-scale processing, Bryden said.

The city has already agreed to pay a tipping fee of $82.25 for each tonne of trash deliv-ered to Plasco for processing. That would amount to $9.1 million per year.

Plasco leases the three-hectare piece of land from the city for a nominal fee, and the land isnt taxed, but Plasco is covering the $175 million needed to construct the facil-ity. There is also a revenue

sharing agreement for profits made from selling the elec-tricity to be produced at the Plasco plant.

The biggest financial ben-efit of the Plasco plant would be the extended life it will give to the Trail Road landfill, city treasurer Marion Simulik said last December. The city estimates it would cost $248 million in 2011 dollars to find a new landfill. Without Plas-co, the city would be forced to do that in 2042, but using the new technology would extend the dumps life until 2070.

This is a thrilling and ex-citing time in the city of Ot-tawa. Its a huge step in waste disposal world, McRae said. I want this thing to rock and roll.

If for some reason the city and Plasco dont end up pro-ceeding with their partner-ship, Plasco could always take the modules of equipment on order for its Ottawa plant and re-use them for other fa-cilities it has in the works in China, California, the United Kingdom and the Bahamas.

While Ottawa is still on track to have the first full-scale Plasco facility, Bryden said he hopes to sell 130 modules (each plant could be between one and three mod-ules, depending on how much waste it will process) in the next five years.

A strong communications network is an integral element of the smart electricity grid that Hydro Ottawa is building throughout its service territory.

As part of its network, Hydro Ottawa has a communications antenna atop the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata. With an excellent location, height and clear line of sight, the Brookstreet Hotels 18-storey rooftop is sought after for communications equipment installation by local companies. Hydro Ottawa is one of five commercial tenants on the rooftop of the hotel.

Renting its rooftop to other companies is more than a commercial venture for Brookstreet it is also an opportunity to contribute to the community. Brookstreet is allocating $5,000 of its annual rooftop rent to support the hotels 10th

Anniversary Lumire Charity Gala.

We are very excited that Brookstreet will once again be supporting local charities through the Lumire Charity Gala event, said Bryce Conrad, Hydro Ottawas President and Chief Executive Officer. This is a great event that directly benefits the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

The Lumire Charity Gala will be held at Brookstreet on September 12. Over the last nine years, Brookstreet has distributed more than $300,000 to local charities through Lumire and more than $160,000 for cancer research.

At Hydro Ottawa, we believe in acting at all times as a responsible and engaged corporate citizen. We commend Brookstreet for generously giving back to the community, added Conrad. We value our relationship with Brookstreet Hotel and are pleased to be associated with them in this effort and in their continued initiatives to reduce energy usage. In the past, Hydro Ottawa awarded Brookstreet with the Companies for Conservation award, an initiative to celebrate the exciting and innovative conservation projects being undertaken by commercial electricity users in Ottawa. The program recognizes local companies or organizations for their conservation leadership.

Hydro Ottawa is a community builder, maintaining one of the safest, most reliable electricity distribution systems in Ontario. The company is also dedicated to helping customers use electricity efficiently and teaching children and youth about electricity safety and conservation.

Learning that it was not wise to have a farm animal as a pet was a hard lesson for me when I was young. Sooner or later, it would be hauled off in the back of the wagon or peddled door-to-door in Renfrew.

Many would end up in our smokehouse. But that didnt stop me from favouring a baby lamb or a newborn calf, and at one time I was espe-cially fond of a chicken that I had named Squeaky.

It had come into the world in the late spring, bursting out of a shell right before my eyes one rainy day. All the other baby chicks were bright yellow, but this little one was almost white and its feathers were few and far between. Father said it was a weakling and he doubted it would survive.

But survive it did and it was soon obvious it was not going to be at all like the other chickens. I could see that as it grew it was not go-ing to have much in the way of feathers. Father said that happened sometimes. A cull, he called it.

I took to that little chicken and it to me and we were soon inseparable. It didnt look like a chicken and it certainly didnt sound like one. While the others chirped, this one squawked and thats why I decided to call it Squeaky.

My brothers made fun of the little bare chicken with nothing more than a bit of fuzz around its tail end and a few scraggly hairs at its neck. The rest of its body was completely bare and pink. It had lost its colour as it grew.

As the summer wore on and the warm days got chilly, I grew increasingly con-

cerned about Squeaky. It was often pushed aside by the other chickens and I would find it huddled by itself in a corner of the chicken coop trying to keep warm.

I begged Mother to let me bring it in the house at night. I told her I would look after it and I would keep it in a cardboard box so that it wouldnt dirty the kitchen floor. Mother said farm animals belonged in the barn, chickens in the chicken coop.

After many tears and promises to scrub the floor on my hands and knees if there was a reason to, Moth-er finally agreed that I could bring Squeaky into the house to sleep. I emptied a box I found in the drive shed and put one of my dolls blankets in it and situated Squeaky and the box behind the Find-lay Oval. When I went to bed that first night, the last thing I did before climbing the stairs was check on Squeaky.

She was asleep with that bare head tucked under an equally bare wing, the picture of perfect chicken contentment.

For the first time in many nights I would go to sleep assured that my pet chicken was warm and safe.

As soon as Mother blew out the coal oil lamp and the kitchen was turned to black, loud squawks could be heard right through the house. I could hear Father jumping out of bed, while Audrey

and I sat bolt upright. I flew downstairs in the dark just as Father was lighting the lamp and peering into the box behind the stove.

There was Squeaky with her head in the air and her mouth wide open letting out the most outrageous roars I ever heard come out of a chicken. Mother said she was to be taken right out to the chicken coop. I started to wail that it was the middle of the night and that Squeaky would be frightened to death.

Best thing that could happen to her, I heard Emerson say from the top of the stairs.

I learned early in life that if I cried as if my heart was broken I could usually move Father. Mother was another matter. But that night it was Fathers decision that the chicken could stay in the house upstairs beside my bed, but that it would be the last night it would be sleeping anyplace but in the henhouse.

I was sure if it had to spend one more night out in that drafty place it would surely freeze to death. It was my very clever sister Audrey who had the perfect solution the next day. She said not to worry - she would take care of the situation.

The morning broke cold and windy for a late summer day. When I leaned out of the bed Squeaky was still fast asleep, just as I had left her with my sweater over

her naked body. Audrey got out of bed and headed right for the box I kept my doll clothes in. She took out a tiny sweater with buttons I used on my China doll Aunt Lizzie had sent me from Re-gina. She forced Squeakys legs into the arm holes and buttoned the sweater across its bare breast. It fit her like a glove and once she had shaken her legs a couple of times, resigned herself to her new clothes.

We walked right out the kitchen door with the chicken in my dolls sweater and over to the chicken coop. When Audrey put her down she went scurrying into the crowd demanding her share of the feed.

Just before it got dark that night, Audrey and I went out to take one last look. There was Squeaky apart from the rest of the chickens, fast asleep in her bright red and yellow hand knit sweater.

A clever girl was my sister Audrey. Emerson said the coloured sweater would put off the other hens from lay-ing eggs. Audrey said to pay him no attention.

My featherless chicken kept growing into larger sweaters. I dreaded the day when she would join the others in the back of the old Model T Ford to be taken into Renfrew and traded for sugar and flour.

But Father and Mother decided, because she was such an odd looking bird, she would likely be as tough as blazes.

Squeaky was allowed to live out her life naturally to my great relief. She was featherless and stayed bared in the warm weather, and when the weather was cold, she was cozily wrapped in a dolls sweater.

Baby chick certainly had fashion senseMARY COOK

Cornmeal muffins always pass taste testWhether your taste runs to a bowl of spicy chili or a steaming plate of beef stew, youll enjoy the taste of these cornmeal muffins.

These are slightly sweet, moist and simple to make. You can find the cornmeal in the supermarket, usually in the section with the cooked cere-als such as oatmeal.

If you find the muffins start to get a bit dry after a couple of days (if they last that long), just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds. Theyll taste almost as fresh as if they just came out of the oven.

This recipe makes a large batch, 12 to 16 muffins, but they freeze well. I thaw a few and then reheat them in the toaster oven.

CorNmeal muffiNs

1 1/2 cups cornmeal

1 3/4 cups flour 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1 1 /2 tsp. baking soda 2/3 cup brown sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 2 eggs 2 cups buttermilk (or 2 Tbsp. vinegar with enough regular milk to make 2 cups) 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Generously grease a muf-fin pan. I use a pastry brush because its quick and less messy than other methods.

In one bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder baking soda, salt and sugar.

In another bowl, mix the eggs, milk and oil. Pour this into the dry ingredients, and stir just until combined.

Spoon the batter into muf-fin cups, filling them about three-quarters full.

Bake at 400 F (205 C) for about 15 minutes.

If youre not sure whether theyre done, insert a tooth-pick in the centre of a muffin near the middle of the pan. If the toothpick comes out clean, theyre done.

Let the muffins sit in the pan for five minutes, then youll be able to remove them without having them break apart. Serve warm.

Butterfly film soars at Aviation museumMichelle [email protected]

EMC news - Millions and millions of travelers make the 6,000 kilometre journey from Canada to Mexico each year, but only a small fraction are human.

The rest consist of creatures seeking shelter from Canadas harsh winters, including the monarch butterfly.

A film documenting the monarchs journey is current-ly on display at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum.

In 2005, Mexican film-maker and pilot Francisco Gutirrez followed the mon-arch butterflies migration from Canada to Mexico. The 72-day flight was captured in photographs and in On the Trail of the Monarch Butter-fly, which has been on display at the museum since July 6.

At the official opening of the exhibit on Aug. 21, Mexican Ambassador Fran-cisco Barrio Terrazas praised Gutirrez for his work that highlighted the natural con-nection between the two countries.

During the months of harsh Canadian winters, they are in the beauty of my country, much like what Ca-nadians do, said. I encour-age you to view this exhibit, modest in its size, but vast in experience.

Gutirrez travelled with the

butterflies in an ultra light air-craft said at times he was not sure of how the film would turn out.

He thanked friends and family at the event for their support, both in the sky and on the ground.

I never thought this is where I would land, seven years ago, he said. I hope you all enjoy the film and I am very thankful to this coun-try.

Those who attended the event had the opportunity to watch the film or to explore the exhibit itself.

Kerry-Leigh Burchill

brought her friend, Jenn Or-man, as an outing to celebrate Ormans 40th birthday.

I just thought it would be a great night, Burchill said. I love the fact that the mu-seum has incorporated art into their collection. It makes sense, this exhibit is all about flight, and it is beautiful.

Orman and Burchill were both wowed by the images as they walked through the exhibit.

The museums director, Stephen Quick said the ex-hibit truly showed what an incredible journey Gutirrez had taken and was happy the

museum had the opportunity to share the filmmakers ac-complishments with the rest of Canada.

The ambassador said there are a number of butterfly sanctuaries in Mexico where the insects stay when they make it to their destination.

Next time you travel to Mexico, ask one of the hotels staff to take you to one of those sanctuaries, so you can see for yourself, Barrio Ter-razas said.

The ambassador also cred-ited the butterflies as a sym-bol of the strong relationship the two countries have.

MICHELLE NASH/METrOLANDThe Canada Aviation and Space Museums formally inaugurated its exhibit On the trail of the Monarch butterfly. Kerry-Leigh Burchill, brought her friend, Jenn Orman as an outing for Ormans 40th birthday celebrations. The exhibit will be on display until Sept 3.

SCHOOLBACK-to-Attention!Attention! Fall RegistrationFall RegistrationBack-to-school party ideas

Back-to-school season is on the horizon, and many stu-dents and parents are either loving or loathing the idea of starting a new school year. For some, a party to com-memorate the new school year and the end of summer is customary. Hosting a fun event for the soon-to-be stu-dents is one way to make the most of vacation time.

* Go with a theme. Maybe the theme is rulers and text books, ABCs, or science, and it can run through the decorations used, the games played, the food served, and many other aspects of the event. Consider a science experiment inspired volcano cake that is oozing straw-berry jam.

* Include some educational

games. Some students expe-rience educational backslid-ing during summer vacation. That is why many schools have summer reading lists that educators feel promote lesson reinforcement for the coming school year. With this in mind, plan activities around concepts children learned in school. Think about math problem relay races, art projects, reading

a story and reenacting it in a play form, or science experi-ments using solar energy.

* Host a campout reading marathon. Encourage guests to bring sleeping bags and favorite books to a campout under the stars. Most of the time can be spent read-ing while breaks can be de-voted to exercising, making campout snacks or telling campfire stories.

* Rent out a fun bus or truck. Since many students will be spending a good deal of time on a school bus once the new school year com-mences, tie into those jaunts to school by renting the ser-vices of a game bus or truck.

Some vendors will park their vehicles in front of the house for an hour or more, allow-ing children to climb inside and enjoy themselves on play equipment or compete in video game competitions inside specialized gaming trucks.

* Plan a group event at the beach. Spending time sea-side can be educational and enjoyable at the same time. Enlist the help of a few chap-erones and set up an area on the beach where kids can play and explore the won-ders of nature around them. Pack picnic-type snacks or ask attendees to bring items themselves.

* Plan a trip to the school. First-time students may be anxious about what to ex-pect during their first days of school. Having friends who are slightly older accompany younger kids to school to give a tour and show them the ropes make the experi-ence less frightening. After-ward, meet at a pizzeria to enjoy some slices and soda.

* Host a classic pool party. Of course, some kids want to commemorate the end of summer vacation by enjoy-ing the pool one last time. Have a classic pool party and barbecue in the yard for ev-eryone to enjoy.

They now play at different functions, including weddings and galas, and Goldsmith said listeners enjoy the unique sound of the four players.

If a saxophone player has a chance to play in a sax quar-tet, it probably hasnt been since university, he said. But they love the challenge, they like the sound of it be-cause its different.

Its not like getting lost in a big band, youre pretty much soloing the entire time because theres nowhere to hide.

All four of the musicians work in music full-time, but participating in the quartet is something new because there hasnt been one in Ottawa be-fore.

These guys are the best musicians Ive ever played with, said Goldsmith. And the four saxophones are like four voices.

Because they are four dif-ferent types of saxophones, Goldsmith said the band en-joys the challenge of meshing the sounds together.

Hes been working to get the word out that the bands exists, and has had help from the Orlans community, spe-cifically the AOE Arts Coun-cil based out of the Shenkman Arts Centre.

Theyve been giving me an incredible amount of resourc-es and feedback, he said.

The group is gearing up to

play at the Gatineau Hot Air Balloon Festival, Sept. 1 to 3 at 7 a.m. as the balloons take off.

They will also play on Oct. 24 at the Shenkman Arts Cen-tres theatre for the Ottawa Book Awards.

People come in and they stop and stare, he said. We are unique and we bring a wow factor to events.

EMC news - Ninety-five per cent of Presto card taps are now working on OC Transpo buses, according to Metrolinx officials.

Speaking at a transit com-mission meeting on Aug. 24, OC Transpo general manager John Manconi said he is cau-tiously optimistic about the future of the smart-card pay-ment system.

The city delayed Prestos rollout from July 1 until Feb-ruary of 2013 due to a series of technical glitches that pre-vented payments from being registered on card readers in-stalled on 60 per cent of OC Transpo buses during a trial run.

While Presto is used in sev-eral cities in southern Ontario including Toronto, Ottawa is the first city to roll out a new generation system. Transit users involved in the pilot project had been getting error messages when they tap their cards on the readers to pay their bus fare, while others reported that the cards arent recognizing when the user tops them up with more value. The delay will cost between $4- and $7 million, costs that Metrolinx will be on the hook

to cover.Metrolinx wants to mini-

mize those costs, said Metro-linx chief executive Bruce McCuaig, and he asked for OC Transpos help in reduc-ing the length of time needed to roll out the smart cards to all OC Transpo riders.

Manconi revealed that OC Transpo no longer wants to launch the cards for all OC Transpo riders at the same time next February. Instead, it will be a phased rollout before February, with certain customer groups getting the cards before other riders. That will give OC Transpo and Metrolinx a chance to re-spond to any capacity issues that could arise, and to make it easier for customers to adapt to the new system.

Details on that phased roll out will be presented to the citys transit commission in October or November, Man-coni said.

While Metrolinx and Ac-centure have fixed some prob-lems, new issues have cropped up.

There is an issue with handheld devices OC Transpo enforcement officers use to check riders cards. While the officers can still use the de-vices to check peoples fares, there are defects that the man-

ufacturer is working to fix.There are also worries that

the time it takes for a Presto card tap to register a fare are too long. Slow tap times are improving, said Darryl Brown, a Metrolinx official.

The time it takes to regis-ter a fare with Presto is the same amount of time it takes to board with existing types of fares and passes, he said, and those times will continue to improve.

STUDENT FARES

Following anger that the introduction of the Presto card meant students over age 19 who cant get a U-pass would have to pay the full adult fare rather than a student fare, Metrolinx officials confirmed that the student fare age isnt a dealbreaker for the Presto system.

The reasoning behind creat-ing a cut-off age of 19 for stu-dent bus passes was to align the fare structure with other areas that use Presto, such as the GTA and Hamilton.

But in response to a ques-tion from Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess, McCuaig said the Ot-tawa transit commission has final say over its fare structure Metrolinxs role is to imple-ment the fares that the com-

mission decides on.Bloess tabled a motion

to increase the age for a stu-dent pass, but it was defeated with all commissioners ex-cept Bloess voting against the idea.

Treat these students eq-

uitably, treat them fairly, Bloess said.

While transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans said that McCuaigs statements about fares is new informa-tion, she said that Presto in-tegration was never the only

reason for changing the age for a student pass.

I think it was driven by many things, Deans said. Were also trying to end the discounts on the discounts so we can have a sustainable sys-tem.

Volunteering At the Childrens Aid Society

of Ottawa

Making a differenceVolunteering is defined as the act of working

on behalf of others without financial or material gain. At the Childrens Aid Society of Ottawa, volunteers are described as individuals helping to build a better community through the generosity of their time, their energy and their skills. Our volunteers are fundamental and provide a vital link in the delivery of services to children in our community.

Volunteering at the CASThere are several reasons why you may be

interested in volunteering. It may be a means of exploring new challenges or discovering new career options. You may be looking to develop interpersonal skills or gain self-confidence. Volunteering can be a great way to meet new people and through their experiences and your own, you may gain a better understanding of the people and organizations in our community. That being said, to many, the greatest satisfaction in volunteering at the CAS, is knowing they have made a difference in the life of a child or youth.

From all walks of lifeOur volunteers are residents of our

community who chose to give their time. They are men and women over the age of 18, single or partnered and represent diverse cultural, racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds. Our volunteers are from all walks of life, but they share a common goal: improving the life of a child or youth.

Volunteer opportunitiesWith back-to-school season upon us, our

biggest opportunity is becoming a volunteer driver. These individuals assist with school drives, in the morning and afternoons, but also bring children and youth from foster homes to scheduled appointments.

Volunteering give me a sense of worthwhile. It doesnt feel like work and Im able to give something back - its like a breath of fresh air Richard M.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer driver or tutor, we will be hosting an orientation session on September 5th, 2012 at 6:00 pm. Remember, the caring gift of your time assists the Society in its efforts to keep the children and youth of our community safe and secure.

EMC news - Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) has announced updated cervical cancer screening (Pap test) guidelines which outline the right age for women to screen and the time interval between tests.

In Ontario, cervical cancer screening is now recommended starting at age 21 and every three years until age 70 for all women who are or ever have been sexu-ally active. Screening is not recommended for women under the age of 21.

Regular screening every three years starting at age 21 can detect changes that might lead to cancer, says Dr. Linda Ra-beneck, CCO vice-president of prevention

and cancer control.Shannon Pethick of Burlington, Ont., was diagnosed with cer-vical cancer in 2010. As a result of her in-tensive cancer treatment, Pethick, now 34, went into menopause and lost her ability to have children at the age of 32.

Now cancer-free, Pethick is a vocal cer-vical cancer screening advocate.

When I think back, having a Pap test could have prevented my cancer and Id be able to have kids, says Pethick.

Women need to talk about this. I know Pap tests are not the most pleasant thing to experience but going through radiation and chemotherapy is far worse. I want

to shout it from the rooftops that women need to schedule regular Pap tests with their doctor.

The Canadian Cancer Society strongly supports the new provincial screening guidelines.

We know that screening saves lives so its critical for Ontario women to get screened every three years for cervi-cal cancer, says Minister of Health and Long-Term Care Deb Matthews.

Women who wish to learn more about cervical cancer screening are encouraged to speak with their doctor or nurse and visit www.ontario.ca/screenforlife.

Kanata North Coun. Mari-anne Wilkinson was released from hospital this afternoon after fainting at a conference earlier today.

Wilkinson said she suffered a fainting spell, not a stroke as suggested by several reports, during a session at the Asso-ciation of Municipalities of On-tario conference on Wednesday, Aug. 22.

The hearts fine, she said. I got a strong one.

Wilkinson was delivering a speech about cycling at a con-ference held at the Westin Ho-tel downtown, when she began slurring her speech and leaned on the podium.

All of a sudden, just like whammo, they tell me I went white as a sheet, said Wilkin-

son.The events organizer, El-

eanor McMahon of Share the Road Cycling Coalition, said the councillor was showing what McMahon thought were obvious signs of a stroke.

It was sort of like a com-puter shutting down, McMa-hon said. She was slowing and slurring her words.

Luckily there were nurses and a paramedic in the audience and everyone reacted quickly to get Wilkinson treatment, she sa
