Moonlight Madness is a semi-annual clearance event like no other. Here’s why. Twice a year the factory hosts an International Trade Show where all of the new products are introduced to the world. We have recently returned from the North Carolina Market after purchasing truckloads of new introductions. We need to make room for the new arrivals on our showroom floors and in the warehouse. Moonlight Madness is the markdown sales event where we clear out last season’s models, discontinued fabrics, cancelled special orders and all excess inventory to make room for incoming inventory. Many items are limited to stock on hand and no rain-cheques can be issued at these prices. With pressure to reduce inventory and make room in our warehouse, price reductions are dramatic. There are markdowns from 10% - 50% throughout the store. Many discontinued items, cancelled orders and special buys will be priced at cost, near cost or below cost. Pick out your furniture then “Roll the Dice” and save even more! Plus, Pay No Interest for up to 12 Months*!

It’s the Clearance Event that people will wait for... and it’s taking place this weekend!

EMC news – The Ottawa police are concerned about a spike in the number of break and enters in south Ottawa and are asking residents to be on the alert.

Thieves are targeting the residential area south of the Ot-tawa Hospital’s General cam-pus and appear to be focusing on homes under renovation or residences that have contracted renovation companies, accord-ing to a police news release.

“It looks like there is a pat-tern of break and enters primar-ily to sheds and trailers in the Elmavale Acres and Alta Vista area,” said Const. Gary McCoy, community police offi cer at the South Ottawa Community Po-lice Centre.

He added that police have been investigating a number of recent daytime residential break and enters in the Elmvale area of the city.

EMC news – Ottawa al-ready knows what it needs to do to reduce gang activity in the city – now, it just needs to make it happen.

That was the theme of a discussion at city hall last Wednesday evening during a forum called “Taking Action Together: Addressing Gangs in Our City.”

The Oct. 17 event was or-ganized by the Ottawa police, Crime Prevention Ottawa, the Youth Services Bureau and

Ottawa Community Housing, but most of the discussion and questions from members of the public rehashed issues that have been discussed at similar events in the past.

“I think these are themes that we’ve heard through our conversations,” said Ottawa police Chief Charles Borde-leau.

He added it is still impor-tant to listen to those stories and create a dialog about the issues that people are seeing in their communities.

The chief said he was pleased with the number of

people who attended and the amount of passion they showed about the issue.

A sharp rise in shootings this year reinvigorated the push to end gang violence in Ottawa. There have already been 31 shootings this year as of Oct. 3, more than a 30 per cent increase over last year, said Staff Sgt. Mark Patter-son from the police guns and gangs unit

There are an estimated 473 people involved in gangs in Ottawa and between 25 and 30 of them are believed to be involved in shootings.

The event began with a panel presentation from Bor-deleau, Patterson, Crime Pre-vention Ottawa executive di-rector Nancy Worsfold and a special guest speaker, Jabari Lindsay, a youth development manager for the City of To-ronto.

“This is not a problem we can arrest our way out of,” Bordeleau said, emphasizing that solutions must be col-laborative and focused on pre-venting youth from becoming involved with gangs.

The break-ins occurred over the past few weeks, with small electronics, money and jewelry targeted.

As a result of the follow-up investigation, a warrant of arrest was issued for seven counts of break and enter and theft and 14 counts of breach of probation for a 28-year-old male, who later turned himself in to the police.

Police are asking for the public’s assistance, regarding a recent rash of residential break and enters.

BREAK AND ENTERS

Sheds and garages are be-ing entered overnight for large tools and equipment. The stolen items would require a commercial type vehicle to remove.

McCoy encouraged peo-ple to call police if they see anybody suspicious in their neighbourhoods.

“The more information we get, the more likely we are to see a pattern and often the pat-tern tells us who we are look-

ing for,” he said.“These people are prob-

ably scouting the areas dur-ing the day, and come back at night with vehicles to do their crimes.”

He indicated that police are on top of this and are trying to apprehend the offenders.

“However we face a dif-fi culty of people often not calling us when they see somebody suspicious on their streets. They tend to call us two or three days after some-thing has happened,” said Mc-Coy.

“It is a priority for us here at the east division and it is important that residents know that they have the ability if they work together to help us solve this.”

He said residents can help out by joining Neighbour-hood Watch, getting to know their neighbours, calling po-lice when they see something suspicious and calling police when they are the victims of crime.

Anyone with information about these occurrences is asked contact the Ottawa po-lice east district break and en-ter division at 613-236-1222 ext. 3515.

Casino debate

On October 10, City Council voted 19 to 5 in favour of supporting, in principle, a casino for the City of Ottawa. I was one of the five members of Council who opposed this step. What this means is that Council has given the green light to the Mayor to respond to the Ontario Lottery Gaming Corporation’s (OLG) Request For Interest indicating that the City supports, in principle, becoming a “host city” for a gaming entertainment centre. The OLG will then come back to the City with a preferred proponent and location that they have chosen and Council will be asked to say yes or no to their plan. It will be at that time when Council is first provided with a cost-benefit analysis and the impacts of a gaming facility for our city.

I would like to thank the overwhelming number of residents who contacted me to express their support for my vote at Committee and Council against a new casino for Ottawa. Many residents agree that Council should have been provided with all the necessary information, including the social, health, safety, traffic and economic impacts of a new casino for our city, so that a well-rounded and informed discussion and decision could have been made by Council earlier this month. Many residents are telling me that Council needs a mandate from the public and at the very least, they expect a meaningful public consultation process before a final decision is made.

Moving forward, I look forward to receiving more information on the impacts that a full-fledged casino could have on our City, and I continue to welcome your feedback.

Airport Parkway Pedestrian and Cycling Bridge update

As you may be aware, in 2011, the Airport Parkway Pedestrian and Cycling Bridge construction project encountered some unforeseen delays due to deficiencies in the concrete section of the main bridge tower. The contractor has had crews on site working hard to complete the project, which has included weekends and evenings, as needed, and at no additional expense to the City in order to see this project completed as soon as possible. Throughout the month of September, the contractor, under the supervision of a Self Consolidated Concrete specialist, was re-building the main bridge tower using heavily reinforced formwork panels that can withstand the high pressure that would be created when pouring the concrete from the top. I am pleased let you know that as of October 5, the formwork of the lower tower was removed and City Staff have advised that the concrete looks excellent.

Work is progressing very well on the rest of the project which saw concrete for the west span deck successfully poured at the beginning of the month, along with landscaping, the installation of pathway light poles and fencing along the pathway areas leading to the South Keys Transit Station. Work will start shortly on the upper tower. Once the project is completed (expected spring 2013), residents will have access from the South Keys Transit Station to the pathways around the stormwater management ponds adjacent to the Airport Parkway.

City of Ottawa’s new Better Neighbourhoods Program

The City of Ottawa is now accepting applications for the new Better Neighbourhoods Program. This program offers assistance to qualified groups for the development of resident-driven improvement projects aimed at building relationships among residents, community groups and the City of Ottawa. Examples of neighbourhood-level projects might include making streets more walkable, park revitalizations or artistic initiatives such as street painting. Projects will be supported financially by the City up to a maximum of $30,000. Three to four neighbourhoods will be selected for the program in 2013 and another three to four in 2014. Interested neighbourhoods or community groups can submit applications until Tuesday, November 27, 2012. For more information, please visit Ottawa.ca or contact my office at 613-580-2480.

Green Bin Tip: Remember that diapers and incontinence products cannot be placed in your Green Bin. To assist families with the disposal of these items, the City has created a Special Considerations Program, which will allow for additional curb side pickup during the off week. For more information or to register for this program, please call 3-1-1 or visit Ottawa.ca.

Annual Autumn TeaFrom left standing, Coun. Maria McRae of River Ward, David McGuinty, MP for Ottawa South and Mayor Jim Watson thoroughly enjoy a busy afternoon serving seniors at McRae’s Annual Autumn Tea for River Ward Seniors held on Oct. 19.

McGuinty won’t seek federal leadership Staff

EMC news - Dalton Mc-Guinty has ruled out a bid for the leadership of the federal Liberals a few days after he announced he was stepping down as Ontario premier.

The Ottawa South MPP has decided to look for challenges outside politics altogether.

“I made a commitment . . . both to myself and to some supporters to carefully consid-er a run for the Liberal leader-

ship for the Liberal Party of Canada,” said McGuinty.

“I’ve talked it over with family and supporters and I’ve decided not to run.”

McGuinty has been under mounting pressure to run for the federal party’s top job since he shocked the nation last week by announcing his intention to resign as pre-mier.

“We don’t have to reinvent the wheel. All we have to do is look beyond our borders and see what we can adapt to use in our community,” Bor-deleau said.

“A multifaceted solution that involves the whole com-munity is the answer.”

Lindsay shared one tip that resonated with the panel and audience: we can’t forget to “help the helpers.”

Healing communities is about taking care of the peo-ple who are addressing these issues in the community, too, he said.

Afterwards, around 200 people in attendance had a chance to share their thoughts, stories and questions with the panel.

One resident, Frank Reid, thanked organizers for put-ting together the forum be-cause too often, these types of discussions happen at the national level.

“This is where it impacts the community the most, lo-cally,” Reid said.

Mohamed Sofa, a commu-nity activist from Pinecrest-Queensway who now lives in Beacon Hill-Cyrville, said forums alone are not going to make a difference.

“We have more policing, more public forums and no more programs,” Sofa said. “That’s not a recipe for suc-cess.”

He said Ottawa is very bureaucratic and has histori-cally not been willing to take a risk and provide grants to fund grassroots community projects.

“How can we take this discussion to the neighbour-hoods and provide funding that will change lives?” said Sofa.

In Toronto, Lindsay said

the city has been willing to give out “really risky grants” to small, community-led groups, to “honour people who have ideas.” When mon-ey goes to frontline workers and people directly in the community, there is more chance of success, he said.

The most poignant mo-ment of the evening came when a woman gave an emo-tional plea for the city to ac-knowledge and assist the “in-visible victims”: mothers of the young people involved in gang activity.

“Those men, respect their mothers. You need to talk to them,” she said.

Lindsay agreed, saying he always had utmost respect for his own mother during his wayward youth and that has led him to ensure he connects

with mothers of the youth he works with in Toronto.

Reaching out to people di-rectly affected and involved with gang activity was also on the mind of Sandy Hill resident Christien Levien.

He called on the police to reach out directly to youth involved in gangs in order to create an effective solution.

“We won’t hear their voic-es, because they’re not here,” Levien said. “They will be further marginalized.”

Creating a “collaborative solution,” as the city says it wants to do, involves collab-orating with people directly involved with the problem – not just city departments and agencies, Levien said.

“We’re open to that,” Bor-deleau said, adding that it is extremely diffi cult to engage

current gang members in those kinds of discussions.

In an interview after the forum, Bordeleau said the police service has connected with former gang members in the past and found it very helpful, but he stressed that he would greatly appreciate anyone who could direct him to a gang-involved young per-son who is willing to speak to the police.

Planning for the forum began in July, after Premier Dalton McGuinty announced $12.5 million for violence-prevention programs, in-cluding $7.5 million for the Provincial Anti-Violence In-tervention Strategy that funds the Ottawa police’s DART (Direct Action Response Team) unit, which deals with gun and gang crime.

Council Gives Final Endorsement to Lansdowne RedevelopmentI am pleased to announce that City Council has given the green light on the final approvals to begin the construction of a revitalized Lansdowne Park.

With current activities progressing well, the project remains on target to see the stadium complete for the 2014 CFL season and the remainder of the redevelopment work finished by the summer of 2015.

The plan for the new Lansdowne includes a renovated stadium and Civic Centre, a new city park next to the Rideau Canal and a lively urban village linked to Bank Street with a mixture of stores, restaurants, residences and public spaces. The Lansdowne redevelopment project will create 18.5 acres of park and will include 880 trees, nearly four times the trees and three times the greenspace than what currently exists today.

I am pleased to see this historic and important City project moving forward.

Ottawa - If you’ve tried to sell your home yourself, you know that the minute you put the “For Sale by Owner” sign up, the phone will start to ring off the hook. Unfortunately, most calls aren’t from prospective buyers, but rather from every real estate agent in town who will start to hound you for your listing.

After all, without the proper information, selling a home isn’t easy. Perhaps you’ve had your home on the market for several months with no offers from qualified buyers. This can be a very frustrating time, and many homeowners have given up their dreams of selling their homes themselves.

EMC news – The need for a new elementary school in Find-lay Creek dominated discussion at a community association meeting held at Fred Barrett Arena on Oct. 19.

Area trustee Mark Fisher, who attended the meeting, said he was optimistic the planned closure of Elizabeth Park Pub-lic School in 2017 could speed up plans to build a new school in Findlay Creek.

“We now have a decision on Elizabeth Park Public School in terms of the lease arrangement of that school. They have given the board an indication that they would like to terminate that lease come 2017. We now have an end-point to that school and we have presented that to the ministry,” Fisher told the gathering.

The building that houses Elizabeth Park is currently leased by the Ottawa public school board from the Depart-ment of National Defence.

Fisher maintained he is still aiming at 2014-15 as the open-ing date for the new Findlay Creek school.

“I would say that we have actually made some positive progress. We own a shovel ready sight and that is a good thing in terms of the business case that we presented to the Ministry of Education. They very much like shovel ready

sites,” he said.Earlier this summer, Findlay

Creek parents presented a peti-tion with 565 signatures calling on the school board to begin an accommodation review.

But a full-blown accommo-dation review in Findlay Creek is unnecessary said school board staff.

“In their opinion, it is a straightforward quick review in terms of the grade structure for the new school, looking at a potential boundary and looking at other minor adjustments that might be made to other neigh-bouring schools,” said Fisher.

According to the commu-nity association’s survey, 190 children from Findlay Creek are currently attending Eliza-beth Park, 35 attend Blossom Park Public, 10 attend Sawmill Creek Elementary, fi ve attend Roberta Bondar Public, fi ve attend Leitrim Montessori and one is enrolled at Westboro Academy.

The survey also found there are 75 children in the Findlay Creek area under the age of four who would attend the new school if it opened in 2014.

During the question and an-swer period some residents ex-pressed frustration than delays in a school opening are forcing many families out of Findlay Creek.

“We’ve seen parents leaving Findlay Creek because of lack of a public elementary school,” said Sumana Jana, chair of

the education committee with Findlay Creek Community As-sociation

Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod said that she was also concerned by the lack of an el-ementary school in the area.

She promised to continue working with the trustee to push for an early opening of the school by supporting the fund-ing request.

Fisher said he is pressing the board and Ontario’s Ministry of Education to address the prob-

lem as soon as possible.“We just need to keep mak-

ing sure the project itself is at

the forefront of all the other concerns that they have in On-tario,” he said.

Every evening, my younger son returns home from school on the verge of

rage. After a few minutes of

quiet time and some protein to balance his blood sugar, I sit him down at the table to do an hour of homework. One hour! He’s in grade one.

The exercises include reading monosyllables over and over again, a rapid phonics method I’ve seen work well to teach kids how to read.

But, to quote my six-year-old, “it’s so boring.” And then there’s the math – reading numbers from one to 40, then one to 60, then one to 100 on a grid. “It’s so boring.”

Presumably these are the same exercises my active son has to endure day-in, day-out in the classroom. Midway through the second month of the term, he stood up in protest against this assault on his senses. “I’m not going to school anymore. It’s too boring. I don’t want to read le, la, me, il. I want to read real books. I don’t want to sit and listen to everyone in the class read this over and

over again. I’m staying home and you can’t make me go to school EVER again.”

Yikes! Really, I couldn’t blame him. It got me think-ing about the way in which our kids are forced to spend their days -- being chroni-cally bored.

A few weeks ago in this space, I wrote about the val-ue of boredom – the idea that allowing kids unstructured time forces them to tap into their creativity and discover interesting activities. But in a new fi lm, entitled Boredom, Montreal fi lmmaker Albert Nurenberg argues that too much boredom – especially enforced boredom – will kill you. He asserts that long periods of boredom equate to a form of chronic stress on our bodies.

“The moment you become bored, there is an increase in the stress hormone cortisol,”

Nerenberg told TheMonitor.ca.

Anyone who knows anything about cortisol will understand it’s linked to increased cholesterol, raised blood pressure, obesity and heart disease. The experts interviewed in Nurenberg’s fi lm go further, connect-ing prolonged periods of boredom to risk-taking behaviour, (think of teenag-ers left too long to their own resources), restlessness, drug and alcohol abuse, extreme depression and even suicide.

Nurenberg apologetically takes on the public educa-tion system as an institution that fuels an atmosphere of chronic boredom, forcing inherently active children to sit still and do rote learning for more than six hours each day.

“You take a child who’s full of energy and full of

curiosity and you make him sit at the same desk hour after hour after hour con-trolled by the clock and by the bell,” quips one inter-viewee in the film. Others cite the fearful outcome of this – violent, depressed, drug-addicted teens and adults. It’s enough to scare any parent.

What to do? I’m reluctant to take on a public educa-tion system that I see work-ing for most, including my eldest child. But I do see a reason to tackle my young-est son’s boredom in the area I have the most control – homework.

Instead of sitting down for an hour to repeat num-bers and letters over and over again, we’re taking monosyllables and math-ematics outside. Shoot a basket, read a syllable. Run around the yard, read a syl-lable. Slide down the slide, read a syllable. Play hide n’ seek, count to 100 (over and over and over again).

It may take twice as much time, but at least my son and I will keep our cortisol levels in check and perhaps it will prolong our lives as well.

Boredom, revisited: maybe it’s a killer, too Eddie Rwema

EMC news – Issues ranging from safe streets, infrastruc-ture development and ward budget priorities dominated a town hall meeting hosted by Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume on Oct. 16.

At the meeting, Hume was seeking to get residents’ ideas and feedback for the coming 2013 budget.

“Naturally I am always seeking feedback on what you, the citizens, want to see happen with your tax dollars,” said Hume.

He said with the 2013 bud-get, residents were going to see a budget that is respect-ful of their taxes that they pay but yet seeks to move Ottawa forward.

He said his priorities for the 2013 submission would include building sidewalks for Saunderson Drive and Blair Street and implement-ing the Lynda Lane redesign plan.

In the past, nearby resi-dents have complained of crowded parking on Lynda Lane and the councillor said he wants to make it safe for everybody.

Other projects on his ra-dar this coming year include, building sidewalks on Belfast

Road between Coventry and Tremblay roads, and the re-surfacing of Russell Road, St. Laurent Boulevard and Walk-ley Road.

TAXES

Mayor Jim Watson who was invited to speak at the meeting said the tax rate this year was brought down to 2.39 per cent, the lowest it has been in fi ve years.

He said the current single largest infrastructure project in the city’s history is light rail.

The 13-kilometre project will cost $2.1 billion.

“This is an opportunity for us to help transform the city. The project will help trans-port people out of downtown very quickly,” Watson said.

Peter Hume said he was hopeful the city’s light-rail project will transform the ar-eas around some of the pro-posed east-end stations.

The city hopes the combi-nation of mixed-use buildings within 800 metres of each LRT stop, with more shops and wider sidewalks closer to stations will attract 10,000 people to each neighbour-hood within 20 years.

After transit, Watson said Lansdowne was the city’s next largest project.

Of course everyone is suspicious these days that when it was announced that the Museum of Civilization was going to become the Canadian

Museum of History, people assumed the worst.Or at least some people.The Museum of Canadian History was going

to become an instrument of Conservative par-tisanship. Hall 1: How Sir John A. Macdonald invented Canada. Hall 2: The War of 1812. Hall 3: How the Liberals destroyed Canada. Hall 4: The Royal Family. Hall 5: How Stephen Harper saved Canada.

Then you exit through the gift shop, where on sale are fridge magnets with the Free Trade Agreement printed on them, maps of Canada where Alberta is unusually large and several of the smaller provinces are missing, Stephen Harper’s book about hockey and autographed copies of the Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act.

Such are the times we live in. Nothing a politician does is above suspicion. But when you step back and look at it objectively, a Museum of Canadian History is not that bad a thing. There is no such thing now and every serious capital needs one.

The late lamented Portrait Gallery was a step in that direction, a chance for us to have a look at important Canadians past and present, but it perished for a variety of reasons, some of them political.

It is often said that Canada has a rich and co-lourful history. And it is said equally often that most Canadians don’t know that Canada has a rich and colourful history. That, obviously,

has a lot to do with what is and isn’t taught in schools. But it doesn’t help that there is no single place Canadians can go and see their history portrayed in a vivid way.

Properly done, the History Museum could accomplish a lot. Think of the Canadian War Museum and how compellingly the war years are portrayed there. There is much of our his-tory that is not about war, but no reason that it can’t be portrayed compellingly, too. Think beyond war to the events and people who made this country, many of them uncelebrated, except perhaps in small museums in their birthplaces – the explorers, politicians, rebels, artists, scientists and entrepreneurs.

If you are in Batoche, Sask., you can see a great Louis Riel exhibition. If you are in Grand Pré, N.S., you can learn about the expulsion of the Acadians. If you are in Neepawa, Man., you can visit Margaret Laurence’s house and learn about her life. We need to see all that here too, in a national museum. Not everyone can get to Neepawa or Batoche or Grand Pré.

There would be a lot to put into this museum and locating it in Ottawa is a positive step.

Ottawa is where the history museum belongs because the capital is the logical place for people to come and view their history. Anyone who has visited Washington knows how im-pressively American history is assembled and presented. No reason we can’t do that here.

In a perfect world, a brand new mu-seum would be constructed, a grand edifi ce somewhere along Confederation Boulevard (remember Confederation Boulevard?), but the times are less than perfect and governments are done with putting up grand edifi ces. So we lose the Museum of Civilization. That museum, as it turns out, is Ottawa’s most popular, but it has always lacked a clear identity. This change will give it one. Combined with the National Gallery, the War Museum and the Museum of Nature, the new museum will present visitors with a well-rounded picture of the kind of country Canada is and has been.

That would be great to show visitors to Canada and even greater to show Canadians.

A history museum? Why not?CHARLESGORDON

Funny Town

City councillors are in an unenviable position as they begin to tackle the

next budget.The costs of Lansdowne’s

rebuilding lie ahead while taxpayers remember the sinkhole on highway 174.

What to do, what to do?It would be nice to build

new things – an opera house, a new main library or afford-able housing – but each proj-ect comes with two costs: the up-front bill for construction

and the long-term cost of maintenance.

No one wants to end up at the bottom of a sinkhole.

We need only look down the (provincially-maintained) highway to Montreal to see how bad things can get. Lumps of cement falling off bridges, rust eating away at metal spans and commuters who must keep an eye out for other cars, pedestrians and the occasional falling bridge.

We’re not there yet and we

don’t want to arrive there any time soon.

As many an expert has told city council, if you delay scheduled maintenance of your infrastructure, you end up paying more in the long run. One example is Ottawa’s public housing, which pro-vides a double-whammy. The existing homes need upkeep and we need more houses for low-income families.

A new Lansdowne Park will be welcome and the deal is done, but other capital

expenditures should be care-fully reviewed before going ahead. Better to spend any money we have on maintain-ing what we already own than to head out and buy more stuff: bridges, high-ways and roads.

During austere economic times, few taxpayers would oppose frugal city spending. Many would applaud it.

Any true fi scal conserva-tive in this city should be willing to forego the pos-sibility of new-fangled build-

ings and roads and should also get behind the city’s policy of intensifi cation over suburban sprawl.

New neighbourhoods on the edge of town cost us all mightily when it comes time to run pipes, wires and buses to the new residents that move in.

The city’s whole fi nancial system deserves a rethink.

Maybe now is the time for the city to toss away the credit cards and live within its means. Instead of borrow-

ing to build new stuff, put the brakes on spending until we can operate on a pay-as-you-go basis. It would mean years of limited new stuff but the payoff comes after the hard work, when new proj-ects can go ahead without need for borrowing and debt.

In the meantime, city councillors should focus on the most pressing business: maintaining what we already own.

The sky is not falling, but the road might.

City should consider a pay-as-you-go future

EMC news - Getting people on bicycles is about convinc-ing them it’s not just some-thing they do – it’s something that’s impossible for them to resist doing.

That was the message de-livered by keynote speaker Ralph Buehler during the an-nual general meeting of local bicycle advocacy group Citi-zens for Safe Cycling.

More than 100 people gath-ered at Tom Brown Arena in Hintonburg to hear Buehler’s advice, culled from his re-search as an assistant profes-sor of urban affairs and plan-ning at Virginia Tech Univer-sity and as the co-author of an upcoming book called City Cycling.

Cycling is on an upward trend in cities all around the world, Buehler said, but a comprehensive approach is needed to keep it that way.

Building bicycle lanes alone is not enough, Buehler said. If a city really wants to make strides, it needs to con-sider bike parking, bike-shar-ing programs, marketing, and broader things like driver edu-cation and favourable zoning rules for compact, mixed-use communities.

“Public policies are crucial to making cycling more at-tractive and to make cycling safer,” Buehler said.

As Ottawa embarks on its ambitious, $2.1-billion light rail project, Buehler spoke about the mutual benefi ts of integrating cycling into transit systems.

“Integration with public transit can be benefi cial for both modes,” Buehler said.

From a transit perspec-tive, providing bike parking at transit stations or allowing bikes aboard transit vehicles, can increase the catchment area for the transit system. While cities look at a walking

distance of about 600 or 800 metres to a major transit hub, encouraging people to cycle to the station can make tran-sit a more attractive option to people who live or work far-ther away, Buehler said.

One public policy that is picking up steam in cycling-friendly cities around the world is the “green wave”: co-ordinating traffi c signals along a street so that they will all be green for someone trav-elling at approximately the speed of a bicycle.

At the same time that cities create policies to encourage bicycle use, they also need to look at creating disincentives for driving, Buehler said.

In Canada, an average of 1.3 per cent of all trips are made by bicycle. That’s slightly higher than the United States, but much lower than the Neth-erlands – the world leader – at 26 per cent, and even Germa-ny at 10 per cent.

Much of that has to do with the traditional use of bicycles that shaped peoples’ attitudes

towards cycling. In North America, it largely began as a recreational pursuit, while in western Europe bicycles have always been under the trans-portation umbrella.

On a local level, Ottawa’s 2.2 per cent bicycle share has a long way to go to catch up to Victoria at 9.5 per cent or Vancouver at 3.7 per cent.

One way to get there is to encourage women to bike. Women are an “indicator spe-cies,” Buehler said. Research shows that women are more

risk averse, so if conditions encourage them to cycle, it’s probably a good environment for other categories of cy-clists, too.

SAFETY

Another speaker, Olivia Chow, MP for Trinity-Spa-dina in Toronto, brought her message of cycling safety to the meeting as well. Chow is sponsoring a private member’s bill aimed at requiring trans-port trucks to have sideguards installed – barriers between the cab and the trailer wheels that prevent cyclists and pe-destrians from being fatally pulled under the back wheels of a right-turning truck.

Not only do the guards save lives, Chow said, in the low run they also reduce emis-sions and save money on fuel costs for trucks because they make the vehicles more aero-dynamic.

Safety is also on the minds of Citizens for Safe Cycling members. The group is hold-ing its fi rst-ever bike-light giveaway, with more than 200 lights to be given away to help cyclists make themselves more visible as the days get darker.

The event is happening on Nov. 1 from 4 to 6 p.m. at an undisclosed location. Check safecycling.ca for the loca-tion to be revealed closer to the event.

EMC news - City council may ask residents if they are OK with a four-bag limit on garbage day.

Garage collection will switch permanently to a bi-weekly schedule on Oct. 29, meaning trash will be col-lected every two weeks year round, while organics and recycling bins will be picked up weekly. The move is an ef-fort to bring Ottawa closer to its landfi ll diversion goal, but it won’t be easy to reduce gar-bage if the city continues to al-low people to put out six bags of garbage every two weeks, Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume told the environment commit-tee on Oct. 16.

Right now, households are allowed to put out three bags each week, and that number was simply doubled with the collection changes. That’s a high number of bags that no other municipality that offers organics recycling allows, Hume said.

Switching to biweekly pickup is expected to divert an additional 10,000 to 20,000 tonnes of organic waste from the landfi ll, said Dixon Weir, the city’s general manager of environmental services. That will boost the diversion rate from the current 44 per cent to around 54 per cent.

But that still leaves Ottawa 15,000 tonnes short of its 60 per cent diversion target, said Rainer Bloess, the councillor for Innes Ward.

“It’s going to undermine our drive to make maximum use of the investment we’ve made in our green bin,” he said. “We’re afraid to take the big step and say we need to do this because it’s the right thing to do.”

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt said it would be redundant for city staff to look at a bag-limit reduc-tion in isolation, since there is currently a city-wide waste master plan review happen-ing.

Kanata South Coun. Al-lan Hubley said he was also against reducing the garbage-bag limit, because the col-lection changes are already enough of a diffi cult transition for families.

Besides, the bag limit isn’t enforced and there is resistance from people un-

willing to use their green bins, so figuring out a way to make the green-bin pro-gram work is a better plan, Hubley said.

The city is currently only focusing on residential waste collection and has yet to roll out the green-bin program to apartment buildings before ICI collection is even consid-ered.

Weir said city staff expect to hit the goal of a 60 per cent diversion rate by the end of this new waste contract, which will be in 2016.

TRASH ALERTS

The city is offering some high-tech tools to make the transition easier for residents.

With the new web-based collection calendar tool, peeking out the front door to see if your neighbours put out their trash will be a thing of the past, IT subcommittee chairman Coun. Tim Tierney said.

The tool offers a search-able online calendar, as well as weekly collection remind-ers by phone, email or Twitter.

You can also choose whether you want the alerts to arrive the evening before or the morning of your collection day.

Information can be found at ottawa.ca/en/garbage_recy-cle/. As of last Monday, four days after its launch, there were more than 5,300 search-es logged and 1,337 people signed up for household re-minders.

The new web tool will also make it possible to add solid waste collection data to the city’s open data catalogue, which people can use for re-search or to development web or mobile applications.

Council ponders lowering garbage bag limit

Garbage collection will change to every two weeks starting Oct. 29, while green bin pick up and recycling will continue to happen every week.

• Garbage: The amount of trash sent to the landfi ll increased to 159,579 tonnes in 2011, up from 158,698 tonnes in 2010

• Blue bin: With the addition of new types of plastics to the collection in 2011, the city col-lected slightly more in the blue bin – 15, 955 tonnes, up from 15,321 tonnes in 2010.

• Black bin: Paper and card-

board recycling dropped to 43,604 tonnes in 2011, down from 44,602 tonnes in 2010.

• Green bin: In 2010, 53,349 tonnes of organic waste were collected from Ottawa homes; in 2011, that number rose only slightly to 55,063.

• Leaf and yard waste: Organ-ics recycling for leaf and yard waste decreased slightly, from 9,677 tonnes in 2010 to 9,428 tonnes in 2011.

GREEN BIN TIPS

- Line your pail and green bin and wrap waste with news-paper to avoid odours

- Same goes for emptying the pail: If you don’t want to purchase liner bags, visit ot-tawa.ca/greenbin for a video on how to make a liner “bag” out of newspaper

- Cardboard containers such as cereal boxes can also be used

- If your bin has maggots, put vinegar or salt on them to kill them

- A container of vinegar covered in plastic wrap with holes poked in it will capture fruit fl ies

- If you’re worried about smell, sprinkle laundry deter-gent, garden lime or baking soda in your bin

- You can also freeze meat and fi sh waste and put it in the bin on collection day

- Spray your bin with cook-ing spray to avoid items freez-ing to it

Biweekly trash pickup starts next week

EMC news - Jim Watson has marked the halfway point in his new term as mayor, and if he has his way he won’t be leaving anytime soon.

One of the biggest carrots of his political career was dangled in front of him last week: the possibility of lead-ing the provincial Liberal party, for which he served as a cabinet minister in the 2000s. After Premier Dal-ton McGuinty announced he was stepping down from that role, Watson immediately and fl atly rejected a leader-ship bid.

“I’m very, very happy here. I’ve worked on Parliament Hill and served at Queen’s Park and I’ve been at city hall, and by far the most fulfi lling for me, and where I think I can contribute the most, is at city hall,” he said.

Watson said he can’t see himself heading back to Queen’s Park or Parliament Hill because he’s very happy at city hall.

Municipalities are the most productive level of govern-ment, Watson said, because they “don’t get bogged down in the name calling and petti-ness of politics.”

“When I see what goes on on Parliament Hill and at Queen’s Park – all of the divi-siveness, rancor and arguing, I don’t’ miss those,” he said. “I fi nd that those two levels of government have become overly or hyper-partisan.”

While Watson supported reducing the size of city coun-cil and re-drawing the ward boundaries – a bid his council-

lor colleagues rejected earlier this year – he does not support term limits for politicians.

“We have term limits. It’s called the voters,” he said.

Watson will again be look-ing to voters to support his vision for a “more co-opera-tive, collaborative approach” at city hall when he runs for

re-election in 2014.The restoration of decorum

and collaboration amongst city councillors is the achieve-ment Watson has consistently listed as his top accomplish-ment since his re-election as mayor on Oct. 25, 2010 with 48.7 per cent of the vote.

That stability and co-op-

eration extends into the public service, too.

Relations with OC Transpo workers and their union, The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 279, have never been better, Watson said, pinning the credit directly on his new-ly appointed OC Transpo gen-eral manager, John Manconi, who took over after former GM Alain Mercier was fi red in February.

“It’s just a world of differ-

ence what was there even two year ago to what’s there today in terms of what John Man-coni has brought to the table and the transit commission,” he said.

All of the major labour union agreements for the city have been settled with in-creases at or below the rate of infl ation, Watson said.

Watson recently checked approvals for the Lansdowne reconstruction project off his

to-do list, and by the new year, he an city council will have chosen a builder for the fi rst phase of the city’s light-rail line running under the downtown.

Both projects have been in discussions for more than a decade in various forms, and now Watson is happy to count them among the 85 per cent of election promises he’s already completed, with half of his term still to go.

The next two years will be about “staying the course,” and living within our means, the mayor said.

“The easy part is voting on these big projects. The tough-er part is implementing them to make sure they are on time and on budget,” Watson said.

The EMC interviewed the mayor two days before the 2013 budget was to be re-leased, but the budget will also refl ect his “stay the course” mentality, Watson said.

He plans to maintain his commitment to freezing rec-reation fees, and the focus will be on continuing the Ot-tawa on the Move program to fi x our existing infrastruc-ture.

“We don’t have an unlim-ited supply of dollars to put into new initiatives. We’ve got a lot on our plate now,” Wat-son said.

He reiterated that the high-way 174 sinkhole this fall and the Woodroffe Avenue water main break and outdoor wa-ter ban in 2011 were good re-minders that we need to take care of our existing infrastruc-ture.

“It was a good reminder of how we need to take care of our basic infrastructure needs fi rst and foremost before we reach too far afi eld for new projects,” Watson said.

For that reason, Watson said he won’t be supporting a new Main library branch downtown, but he applauded library board chairwoman Coun. Jan Harder’s call to fi nd innovative ways to refurbish the existing Metcalfe Street branch.

“Let’s fi x what we have in-stead of reaching beyond our means, at least in the short term,” Watson said. “I think that’s t prudent approach that I’d take. I think we need to get the basics right, fi rst and foremost.”

EMC news - Pizza Pizza kicked off its Slices for Smiles fundraiser with a pizza party at the Children’s Hospital of East-ern Ontario on Oct. 18.

A number of kids at CHEO put on their chef hats for a piz-za-making lesson that will cele-brate the four-week fundraiser, which begins Oct. 15 and ends Nov.11.

Pizza Pizza will donate a portion of the proceeds from its $2 “smile” pizzas and its $4.99 12-inch medium pepperoni piz-zas to Children’s Miracle Net-work hospitals across Canada.

Children’s Miracle Network raises funds for 170 children’s hospitals, 14 of which are in Canada. These hospitals, in turn, use the money where it’s needed the most. When a do-nation is given, it stays in the community, ensuring that ev-ery dollar is helping local kids. Since 1983, Children’s Miracle Network has raised tens of mil-lions of dollars for children’s health care most of it $1 at a time. These donations have gone to support research and training, purchase specialized equipment, and ensure excel-lence in care.

“This program gives us the opportunity to give back to children who are our future,”

said Paulo Calvalho, sponsor-ship manager with Pizza Pizza.

He said the funds raised pro-vide much needed funds to lo-cal children’s hospitals which support critical care, leading edge research and educational programs.

“We want to bring hope, awareness and raise money to develop new machinery and new research that would hope-fully help cure diseases that are out there affecting our chil-dren,” said Calvalho.

Since 2007, when Pizza Piz-za started the Slices for Smiles fundraiser, more than $1 million has been raised for children’s charities across Canada.

“We just reached our $1 mil-lion dollar mark. We are very happy about that, and we are very much looking forward to continue raising more money as possible to all children’s hospitals across Canada,” said Calvalho.

The support of organiza-tions like Pizza Pizza allows the hospital to buy the neces-sary equipment that makes this place important and helps med-ical professionals give not just great care but the excellence of care that the kids deserve, said Norma Lamont, vice president for community development with CHEO Foundation.

“It is all about putting smiles on the kid’s faces at our hospi-

tal,” said Lamont.“We are thankful for every-

thing they are doing for CHEO’s kids. It is very important.”

Pizza lovers can support the

fundraiser by adding a dona-tion to orders placed by phone, online, in-store and through the Pizza Pizza iPhone App, or by texting the word “MIR-

ACLE” to 45678 to donate $5 to Children’s Miracle Network from their Rogers, Bell or Telus phones.

EMC news – The small things that make a big differ-ence for cyclists are on their way to the streets of Ottawa.

People gathered at Patro D’Ottawa in Lowertown on Oct. 18 to see how the city plans to spend $5 million to connect existing bicycling lanes to create an east-west “bikeway.”

The changes aren’t huge, but there is a big improvement to be made by adding things like sharrows – chevron pave-ment markings indicating that bicycles and cars should share the lane – and green-painted bike boxes to give cyclists an advance start at intersections, said the project manager, Zlatko Krustlic.

Eventually, the bikeway will connect Vanier to West-boro through the downtown core, but the portion pre-sented on Oct. 18 covered the section from the St. Patrick Bridge to the Laurier Bridge. That includes existing bi-cycle lanes on Stewart and Wilbrod streets, which will remain, but will be resurfaced for improved water drainage. In most places, the bike-lane markings will provide a half-metre painted “buffer.”

There is also a proposal to remove two stop signs on Wil-brod: at Nelson Street and at Augusta Street.

John Verbaas, a cyclist and the transportation committee chairman for Action Sandy

Hill, advised that the city should consider adding speed humps at those intersections to keep traffi c speeds down.

Sandy Hill resident and cy-clist Tom Barber said he can’t understand why the bikeway isn’t proposed to follow a more obvious, direct route over the Mackenzie-King Bridge to Al-bert and Slater streets, which currently form the downtown spine of the bus Transitway. Another city study called Downtown Moves is looking at possibilities for more active transportation modes on those streets when most buses are removed when the city gets its underground light-rail line completed in 2018.

TABARET CUT-THROUGH

The plan would also require the removal of seven off-peak parking spaces on Laurier Av-enue at the University of Ot-tawa, between the Transitway and Cumberland, and another 15 parking spaces on Cum-berland south of Laurier. The university and the church at Laurier and Cumberland, St. Joseph’s Parish, are OK with that plan, said Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury.

It also means Laurier would be reduced to one lane west-bound in that section, where there are currently two lanes. A bike box would be added to facilitate eastbound cyclists turning left from Laurier to Cumberland to go north to-wards the ByWard Market (and the bike lane on Wil-

brod).Verbaas said the Cumber-

land turn is the second-best option.

Cyclists often already use the pedestrian crosswalk west of Cumberland to get to a pri-vate road/pathway through the University of Ottawa campus in front of Tabaret Hall, there-fore avoiding the Cumberland intersection entirely. Remov-ing parking and reducing the westbound lanes for vehicle traffi c will also be unpopular

and could cause congestion in that busy area, Verbaas said. It’s also more expensive for the city to implement, he added.

“That Tabaret Hall area is totally private property for the university,” Krustlic said. “We have to rely on a solution where all the parties involved are supportive of it.”

The university had yet to respond to a request for com-ment as of this papers dead-line.

ST. PATRICK BRIDGE

The St. Patrick Bridge is of-ten considered to be a danger-ous and intimidating place to cycle, but there are improve-ments coming.

The city presented two options for the eastbound section: keeping the “fl oat-ing” bike lane between traf-fi c lanes or pushing the bike lane against the right curb and having cyclists cross the right turning lane back into main

traffi c fl ow. Details are still being

worked out and the decision will depend on feedback from the public consultation. Krus-tlic said the fi nal design will be released when a decision is made, but the lane changes might have to wait for a cou-ple years.

There are long-term plans to resurface the bridge within the next few years and it might make more sense to make changes to the bike lanes at that time.

The rest of the changes pre-sented on Oct. 18 are expect-ed to be done in 2013. Most of the remaining sections, espe-cially in the west end, will be completed in 2014. Plans will be available later this year.

GREENING STEWART

For the fi rst time in Ottawa, the city is proposing a pilot project to use green boule-vards to separate bike lanes and collect and treat rainwater at the same time.

The idea is proposed for two blocks of Stewart Street between King Edward Avenue and Friel Street.

The “bioretention” boule-vards look just like regular grass boulevards, said city en-gineer Darlene Conway, but they have dips in the curb to allow rainwater that collects on the road to fl ow into the grassed section.

“Most people wouldn’t know the difference,” Conway said.

Bikeway plans miss the mark, residents say

EMC news - Candy, neigh-bours and fun: that is what’s planned for an upcoming neighbourhood Halloween party in Vanier.

The Vanier Community Service Centre will host the free event in the Partage Va-nier parking lot from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 31 for children, parents and residents to come out, have some hot chocolate or cider, eat some candy and enjoy meeting old and new neighbours alike.

The event is the evolution of the Vanier Beautifi cation committee’s walkabouts, held annually, to help keep a watch-ful eye on the neighbourhood children.

Community liaison offi cer for the resource centre, Stefan Cherry, thought it would be a great opportunity to expand the event and create a larger community outing.

“This is a joint effort,” Cherry said. “And everyone is welcome to come out. People, pets, costumes are encour-

aged.”The event is being pegged

as a safe zone for children. It will be well lit and offer a place for residents to meet up, either before the trick-or-treat-ing begins or after.

“It is to be considered a safe zone,” Cherry said. “A safe, warm gathering space.”

Cherry worked with Beau-tifi cation members as well as members from the Vanier Community Association’s health and safety committee, to organize the event.

“This is a really great idea,” said Marguerite Beaulieu, co-chairwoman of the commit-tee.

The event will have more than just drinks and candy for the children: there will also be mini fl ashlights available for residents to use while trick-or-treating.

All residents are welcome to come out. Beautifi cation member Lucie Marleau would like residents to know the walkabout will still take place and residents are also encour-aged to participate, adding costumes are a must.

EMC news – Looser pro-posed rules governing food trucks in the city would mean that 20 vehicles would be able to begin operating next year, but some councillors are wor-ried the changes will make Ot-tawa look like a nanny state.

The eased licensing laws for food trucks are meant to inspire creative chefs and entrepreneurs to expand the street food offerings in Ot-tawa. To that end, the process will include a selection panel that would be charged with ensuring the new offerings contribute to making the city more vibrant, but not to dic-tate menu items.

The panel is meant to en-sure the best and most cre-ative new vendors get a crack at one of the 20 new spaces (there are also 16 existing vacant spots), said Bay Ward Coun. Mark Taylor, the chair-man of the city’s community and protective services com-mittee.

The new rules still have to be endorsed by full city coun-cil, but Taylor’s committee voted in support of the chang-es – with all members expect

for College Ward Coun. Rick Chiarelli in favour.

“I think our job is to deter-mine how many vehicles there should be and where they should be and leave it up to the vendors to decide what to serve,” Chiarelli said. “It’s not our job to engineer menus.”

Councillors Jan Harder (Barrhaven) and Eli El-Chan-tiry (West Carleton-March) also expressed concerns about the risk of dictating the type of food to be served, but they voted in support of the rules in the end.

But Philip Powell, the city staffer who worked on the new rules, said they were specifi cally designed to “look big” and be fl exible instead of being prescriptive.

He said the looser regula-tions are an opportunity for “cultural celebration” in the city. Taylor said he hopes eth-nic cuisines and hip, urban foods take over from hot dogs and poutine.

Aside from a Thai-themed truck near city hall and Stone Soup’s truck at the University of Ottawa, there is very little variety in Ottawa’s street food. That’s not because the city tells vendors what to sell, but rather because the restrict-

ed size of the trucks allowed limits food storage and cook-ing options, Taylor said.

Easing the restriction even slightly from one metre wide to 1.2 metres wide will make a positive difference, said street-food vendor Terry Scanlon.

He has operated his truck for 30 years, but says he wel-comes the new rules that will

bring more vendors like him to the streets.

“I know from experience, you have to have the space to produce the product,” Scan-lon said.

Scanlon also supports a regulated distance of 46 me-tres between a food truck and a restaurant. The distance can breed tension between street vendors and traditional res-

taurants because lower over-head costs mean the trucks can undercut the prices res-taurants charge.

Maintaining the right dis-tance reduces tension, Scan-lon said.

Powell looked to interna-tional street-food leaders like Portland, Ore., to compare rules. In Portland, the vast majority of food trucks are

set up on private property and that’s ideally where Powell would like to see Ottawa’s street-food scene evolve. The process will be slightly easier for vendors on private prop-erty – they won’t be vetted by the expert panel.

City council was set to vote on the new rules on Wednes-day Oct. 24, after this news-paper’s deadline.


The city has drafted new food truck rules in hopes of seeing more unique street food vendors like Dung Li’s Thai soup truck that has parked at Elgin and Lisgar streets in Centretown for the past fi ve months.

EMC news - With winter fast approaching, the Snow-suit Fund has already handed out thousands of donated suits and to keep up with the de-mand, the organization says it needs more hands on deck.

“Volunteers are vital to our operation,” said Joanne An-drews, executive director of the fund.

The Snowsuit Fund De-pot, located at 225 Don-ald St., officially launched its 2012 campaign on Oct. 16. The launch welcomed cheques from community corporate partners Tim Hor-tons and Canadian Tire. Bill Houldsworth, a local Tim Hortons store manager, pre-sented the non-profit organi-zation a cheque for $96,157 -money collected through the company’s Smile Cookie

campaign. Every $40 raised, An-

drews said buys a snowsuit, meaning the Tim Hortons donation will purchase 2,400 snowsuits.

But this is a number that barely covers one week’s worth of demand from cli-ents, Andrews said.

“We distribute about 300 to 400 a day, with 5,000 suits distributed so far,” she said.

Last year the organization handed out 15,000 suits, a number Andrews said will grow this year.

As the only full time em-ployee, Andrews said volun-teers are the backbone the organization needs to sur-vive.

“The depot is full today with people looking for suits,” Andrews said.

“It takes a lot of people’s help to make it run smoothly

here and you can really see the difference when we have a group of dedicated vol-unteers. Without them, we would be able to do what we do.”

The Snowsuit Fund opened its doors to fami-lies in need in the Ottawa region 31 years ago, provid-ing warm winter clothing, from suits, hats to mitts and scarves.

As part of one family that has benefited from the ser-vice for the past 15 years, Melanie Barbeau said with-out it, her family’s home life

would be much harder. “It means a great deal,”

Barbeau said. “From extra food, outings, anything, this helps make it easier.”

Barbeau’s three-year-old son, Camille, had the chance to pick out a suit at the launch. A hockey fan, he chose an Ottawa Senators snowsuit.

This was good news to the honorary co-chairper-sons for the fund, Senators defenceman Chris Phillips and his wife, Erin.

Thanks to the current Na-tional Hockey League lock-

out, Phillips attended this year’s launch for the first time.

“It is an honour to be here and I am proud to help make a difference for families out there in Ottawa,” Phillips said.

The Snowsuit Fund cam-paign will continue through-out the next two months, with the annual Canadian Tire Snowsuit Fund Gala on Nov. 3 at the Ottawa Conven-tion Centre and a telethon to be broadcast on 105.3 Kiss FM, Y101 FM and Chez 106 FM on Dec. 12.

Andrews said the depot aims to make sure every child in need is outfitted be-fore the end of the year.

Those interested in vol-unteering, Andrews said can contact her at 613-746-5143. Everyone is welcome, including students looking to fill their volunteer re-quirements.

Monetary or outerwear donations can be made on-line, at www.snowsuitfund.com, or at Canadian Tire, Brown’s Cleaners and the Snowsuit Fund Depot on Donald Street.

Important Changes to Your Solid Waste Collection

Changes to the City’s solid waste collection

schedule will begin during the week of Monday,

October 29, 2012.

Recycling: Blue and Black Box Materials, such

as paper, cans, plastic, bottles, etc.: Weekly

Pickup

Green Bin: Organics, such as tables scraps,

etc.: Weekly Pickup

Residual Waste: Non-recyclables such as

packaging, etc.: Bi-Weekly Pickup

In early 2011, City Council approved changes to

the City’s waste collection contract resulting in

savings of millions of dollars of taxpayer funds

per year. The new contract will also help extend

the life of our Trail Road landfill and will reduce

the number of trucks on our streets.

In mid September, you should have received

your new Waste Collection Calendar in the

mail. You can also download a copy and print a

personalized calendar by visiting Ottawa.ca.

If your collection day is changing, you should also

have received a personalized letter in the mail during the week of October 8, 2012 confirming

your new collection day. Some residents will also receive an extra collection day on Saturday,

November 3, 2012 and your letter will have

indicated this. Please call my office if you have

any questions about your waste collection.

Exciting New E-tools

Your new waste collection calendar can also be

accessed online at Ottawa.ca. You can sign-up for

weekly telephone, e-mail or Twitter reminders

regarding your upcoming collection day that

also identifies materials being collected that

week. You can set the method and timing of the

notification to suit your needs. Sign up for this

reminder online at Ottawa.ca or by calling 3-1-1.

Your Strong Voice at City Hall

I appreciate hearing from you and encourage you

to keep in touch with me as it allows me to serve

you better. It remains an honour and a privilege

to be your strong voice at City Hall.

Beautifi cation committee receives Volunteer of the Year AwardMichelle [email protected]

EMC news - Vanier Beau-tifi cation will receive the Vol-unteer of the Year Award from Crime Prevention Ottawa, the group announced at it’s fi fth anniversary celebrations on Oct. 16.

“It is very exciting news,” said Marguerite Beaulieu, co-chairwoman of the com-mittee.

The group will receive its award on Nov. 5 at city hall during the Crime Prevention Ottawa’s annual awards gala. To celebrate the group’s ac-complishments, a video will be made.

“It will focus on how im-portant participation from the residents is,” Beaulieu said.

A collection of Vanier resi-dents that pride themselves on being doers, not talkers, the group does everything from picking garbage to planting and tending to gardens across the neighbourhood.

The award, Beaulieu said, is quite an accomplishment

and she wanted all the mem-bers to give themselves a pat on the back.

Created as a way to counter drug and prostitution activities taking place in the neighbour-hood, the group focused on beautifi cation efforts, working from the theory that if Vanier is an attractive place to live, residents will respect the area more.

As part of the nomination process, letters of support were sent to Crime Prevention Ottawa by the Vanier Commu-nity Association, the Vanier Community Service Centre and Rideau-Vanier Coun. Ma-thieu Fleury.

“My job is made easier, as a city councillor for Rideau-Vanier ward, because of the amazing work that they do,”

Fleury wrote in his letter. The meeting also saw the

election of the group’s new-est co-chairwoman, Tina Del-aney, who will replace Lucie Marleau.

“Tina (Delaney) is an avid gardener, an enthusiastic member and a devoted resi-dent of Vanier,” Beaulieu said. “I truly look forward to work-ing with you.”

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

The Vanier Beautifi cation committee celebrated its fi fth anniversary on Oct. 16. The evening’s celebrations included cake and the announcement the group has received the Volunteer of the Year Award from Crime Prevention Ottawa.

FOODFOOD Your Community Newspaper

Many of you have followed my cooking column, Food and Stuff,

since it fi rst appeared in the Smiths Falls EMC in 1978.

Now, it reaches 500,000 households covering the area from Ottawa to Prescott, from Norwood to Trenton, and almost every community in between. It’s come a long way in those 34 years.

I love cooking and I love experimenting to fi nd out how a new dish will taste. I wish I could explain how much I’ve enjoyed creating hundreds of new recipes and sharing them with you.

My reward has come every time that someone comes up to me and tells me how much they enjoy my column. When they tell me that they make a lot of my recipes, I’m delighted because that has always been my goal – to give you recipes that you will make and enjoy in your own kitchen.

No matter who I talk to, I hear the same comment about my recipes again and again. They are easy to prepare with ingredients that you have on hand.

This year, my life suddenly took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with lung cancer. Needless to say, this came as a complete shock,

particularly as I had never smoked. I am now undergoing treatment and have had to make major changes in my life.

As a result, this will be my last cooking column. I have enjoyed writing about cooking for many years, and I know that I will miss it.

I am giving you one last recipe, Jennie’s brownies. They are very easy to make and everyone loves them. Make them often and enjoy every delicious bite.

JENNIE’S BROWNIES

• about 1 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder to dust the baking pan• 1/2 cup butter• 1 cup white sugar• 2 eggs, well beaten with a fork• 1/2 cup fl our• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not hot chocolate mix)• 1 tsp. vanilla• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Butter the bottom and sides of a 20-centimetre square cake pan. Sprinkle one tsp. of cocoa powder over the but-tered surfaces. Tap the pan to spread the powder evenly and discard any excess.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the remaining ingredi-ents and stir well.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350 F (175 C) for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the pan comes out clean. Cool the pan on a wire rack. These are good with or without icing.

Editors note: This is Pat Trew’s fi nal Food ’n’ Stuff column for the Ottawa South EMC. We encourage any readers who have enjoyed her writing and recipes over the years to send us a letter to the editor to share a favourite column or recipe of Pat’s over the years. Letters can be emailed to [email protected].

Conservatives Support Small Business

Forbes magazine stated recently that Canada was the best place in the world to do business. As your Member of Parliament, I appreciate that a large part of that hon-our is due to the character of Canadaʼs small business entrepreneurs: hard working, passionate, determined, and courageous.

Small business is important in Nepean-Carleton. Canadian entrepreneurs work hard creating jobs and growth in communities like ours, locally and across the country. In order to create the best possible business en-vironment for them, our Government remains focused on the economy by keeping taxes low, cutting unneces-sary government red tape, promoting Canadian exports to new markets and supporting our entrepreneurs.

Canadaʼs small business tax rate has been reduced down to 11 per cent, and our corporate tax rate dropped to 15 per cent this year. Canada is now the most tax-competitive country among developed G-7 countries according to a recent report by the School of Public Policy. Our government also understands that as we work toward a return to balanced budgets over the medium term, we will do so without raising taxes or cutting transfers to Canadians or the provinces.

Across the country, there are 30,000 small business entrepreneurs who export their products and services to markets around the world. Our Governmentʼs ambitious trade plan is deepening relationships with high-growth markets. For example, toward the end of the year, we are looking forward to completing a trade agreement with the European Union which will reduce tariffs to a market comprised of 500 million consumers.

Building on these successes, our Government launched the Red Tape Reduction Action Plan this fall to save entrepreneurs time and money. The plan is ambitious and includes common sense solutions to business ir-ritants in areas ranging from tax and payroll to labour, transport and trade. This expands on our actions taken in Economic Action Plan 2012 to help employers hire new workers with the extension of the temporary Hiring Benefi t for Small Businesses while also limit-ing Employment Insurance rate increases. Finally, we introduced the Pooled Registered Pension Plan, provid-ing small business entrepreneurs with a way to provide pensions to their employees.

These initiatives demonstrate our Governmentʼs com-mitment to create jobs, growth and long-term prosperity for entrepreneurs and all Canadians.

My little friend Velma and I met at the back fence behind

the Northcote School. Her feelings about Marguirite were just about the same as mine.

How much do you want to bet she is still in her white store-bought under-wear that her mother buys in Walkers Store? Our eyes travelled over towards the gate where Marguirite was trying to work herself into a group of Senior Fourth girls who obviously wanted no part of her either. The less any of us had to do with the girl, the better we liked it.

It wasn’t that she was so bad, even though we all called her “bad Marguirite.” It was just that she was so privileged. Being an only child gave her a decided advantage and also gave her a sense of self importance that none of us could toler-ate.

I was very aware of the heavy navy blue fleece lined bloomers I had been forced into a week ago. The weather now had a nip in the air and even a few snowflakes had fallen. There was no doubt fall was upon us and winter wasn’t far behind.

It was a long walk to the Northcote School and we never knew when the weather was going to change and catch us without warm clothes. So Mother had long since ordered my sister Audrey into heavier white warm underpants and me into the navy blue fleece lined bloomers we got from the Eaton’s catalogue. I hated them with a passion.

“Bet a dollar she doesn’t even own a pair of those

bloomers,” Velma said. We looked over at Marguirite. There she was, bouncing around like a rubber ball in a brand new plaid coat with velvet collar, white stock-ings and her usual black patent leather Mary Jane shoes.

“If I had a dollar, I would take you up on that Velma,” I said. “Everyone our age wears those navy bloom-ers. And I am pretty sure Marguirite’s mother would have her in them by now.”

“I don’t think so,” Velma said. With slitted eyes we watched Marguirite at the swinging gate. It was then Velma had a most brilliant idea. It would involve Cecil of course. Everything that had a bit of a risk to it, al-ways involved Cecil. Velma told me to follow her. I was used to that order and walked with Velma over to the gate.

The gate had to be kept hooked, because it was on a slant and slammed shut otherwise. Velma called Cecil aside.

That in itself was unusu-al. Cecil had very little to do with we younger girls at the Northcote School. But I saw Velma take something out of her lunch bag and hand it over to Cecil and I saw him nodding and look-ing over at Marguirite.

“Who wants to swing on the gate?” Cecil hollered. We all loved to swing on

the gate, and Marguirite was no exception. The young girls from Junior Third all yelled at once, but since the gate would only hold one at a time, Cecil pointed to Marguirite and said she could go fi rst. Velma beckoned me over and we stood close to the action.

Cecil said you could get

a better swing if you put yourself higher on the gate and bent over. He made Marguirite climb up near the top and then pushed her over so that her head was hanging

down on the other side of the gate. I was surprised she went for it. Marguirite never took orders from anyone.

Cecil stood on the side of the gate where her head was, and he ran the gate closed and then gave it a mighty heave and running, swung it wide open. Marguirite squealed with glee and Cecil gave her another ride for good measure.

Then when the ride was over he accidentally pushed her off to the ground and she went spread eagle, head over tea kettle.

I have no idea how he did it, but Cecil was able to have her land with her new plaid coat and everything under it around her shoulders.

There for the entire North-cote School to see was her store-bought underwear from Walker Store, as white as the driven snow. No navy blue fl eece lined bloomers for Marguirite.

Velma just smiled in my direction, nodded to Cecil and we all lined up to go into school as Miss Crosby stood on the step ringing the big brass bell.

I asked Velma how she was able to get Cecil into the act. She said it cost her two molasses cookies.

That night at home, with-out giving Mother the details (I knew she would never ap-prove of such shenanigans), I told her that Marguirite didn’t have to wear navy blue fl eece lined bloomers and I could see no reason why I had to. Mother said she didn’t care if even Princess Margaret Rose didn’t wear them or didn’t even own a pair, I would be wearing the navy blue fleece lined bloomers and there would be no further discussion.

EMC news - The city is jumping on board to help the Orléans-Cumberland Com-munity Resource Centre with renovations it made to its new Centrum Boulevard facility.

The resource centre and its 12 partners moved into the former Farm Boy loca-tion at 240 Centrum Blvd. in 2010 after spending $2 mil-

lion to convert the building. In addition to fundraising, the resource centre received con-tributions from the Trillium Foundation, the federal and provincial governments and agencies associated with the centre’s partners – but nothing from the city.

There was no money avail-able for capital improvements for community facilities due to city budget constraints in 2010, said Cumberland Coun.

Stephen Blais.But now there is money

available, so they city is set to approve $135,000 for the cen-tre to put towards its loans.

“It will allow us to pay (the loan) much faster and get back to investing in new pro-grams,” said centre executive director Luc Ouellette. “We really appreciate it.”

The grant was approved by the city’s community and protective services committee

on Oct. 18 but still needs city council’s sign off.

“I’ve often said a society is judged by how we treat our most vulnerable,” Blais said in a statement. “Despite our wealth, there are families in Orléans and Cumberland who are struggling.

The OCCRC provides much needed support for our friends and neighbours in their time of need.”

The bilingual Orléans-

Cumberland Community Re-source Centre provides facili-ties and a variety of services, including programs for babies and youth, online education,

counselling, health educa-tion, employment programs, resources for newcomers and military families. It is also home to a food bank.

High school runners compete in city championshipsDan Plouff e

EMC news - A double-double is usually reserved for coffee drinkers or basketball players, but Kanata’s Day family achieved their own unique cross-country running double-double at the high school city championships on Wednesday, Oct. 17 at Terry Fox Athletic Facility.

Grade 9 Holy Trinity Catholic High School athlete Owen Day kicked off the day with a commanding victory by over a minute in the midget boys race, and older brother Mickey closed it with a solid senior boys triumph several hours later.

It was the second time Mickey was part of a double Day dominance – he won the midget boys crown back in Grade 9 when his older brother Kieran took the senior prize.

“We completed what we wanted to do,” said Mickey, who was proud to celebrate the fulfi llment of what’s become a family tradition of excellence. “It was a good moment.”

Earlier, he’d greeted Owen with a hug after his younger sibling made his high school debut by opening up an early lead and continuing to add to it, crossing the fi nish line of the fi ve-kilometre event in 17 minutes, 39 seconds.

“With all my friends and my family, it was just a great feeling to come down and see everyone there waiting for me,” Owen recalls.

“My brothers and my dad have all done it, so I really wanted to do it. It’s very ex-citing.”

The four Day males some-times run together in the woods near their house, al-though Mickey and Kieran are the more frequent running pair since their gap in age isn’t as signifi cant as ability level.

“We probably should start bringing (Owen) along now,” says Mickey, who won his 7K race in 21:41.

“He trains a lot harder than my older brother or I had at that age. I’m expecting good things from him this year. He’s got two older brothers, so he’s got to try to go after us with everything he’s got.”

Mickey ran alongside A.Y. Jackson Secondary School athletes Brendon Howard and

Alec Jarvis for most of the race until making his break af-ter a hill and cruising in for a 57-second victory. He missed having last year’s national capital silver medalist Alex Berhe to push him in the race, however.

The pair are always side-by-side in races, but Berhe wasn’t able to compete since his Woodroffe school did not enter a team due to the teach-ers’ labour dispute with the province.

“He’s really fast and a great guy. He’s very fun to run with,” Mickey said. “Him and his coach came to visit and watch the race, so that was nice.”

Howard and Jarvis were also affected by the labour confl ict. They’d moved into training programs for cross-country skiing and triathlon

respectively for a two-week period before their fall season was resurrected when parents stepped up to coach the team.

Around a dozen Ottawa public school board teams were missing from this year’s event, including one of the usual powerhouses, Colonel By.

Regardless of who lined up, the Glebe Collegiate Institute junior girls team of Katherine Marshall, Alexa Livingstone, Claire Smith, Zoe Pritchard and Emma Barrett were pre-pared to take anyone on.

They earned a remarkable four of the fi rst fi ve positions, and fi ve of the top seven, en route to a near-perfect team score of 11 placement points.

As midgets last year, the Glebe girls earned antique-bronze for fourth place at the

OFSAA provincial champion-ships, and are poised to make a run for the top spot on the podium this year. The team is boosted by newcomers Mar-shall – a midget-aged athlete who was the surprise win-ner of the junior race – and Pritchard, a transfer student from Iowa.

“I can’t remember the last time a team from Ottawa has won OFSAA,” said Glebe coach Kirk Dillabaugh.

On top of the benefi ts from training with their top compet-

itors, the Glebe team members enjoy having each other there during races. They ran as a bright yellow pack in the city fi nal, along with one streak of blue from St. Joseph’s Mea-gan Adams.

“It makes the races a lot less scary when you’re run-ning it with people that you know,” said Smith, who’s hop-ing previous OFSAA experi-ence under their belts will pay dividends.

“Last year we didn’t know what to expect. It was really

intimidating. So hopefully this year we’ll be more prepared.”

The other individual race winners were Brookfi eld’s Ol-ivia Robertson (senior girls), Glebe’s Alex Bernst (junior boys) and Earl of March’s Sophie Rodenburg (midget girls).

Glebe came within one race of sweeping every team competition, missing only the senior boys’ crown, where Nepean edged them in a tie-breaker as both schools fi n-ished with 69 points.

EMC sports – Dreams of a 12-year-old Riverside South boy to play in the fi nals of a fall baseball season were shat-tered when the games were cancelled because of bad weather.

Dom Petrocco’s team had qualifi ed for the 2012 Sam Bat Fall League playoffs that were supposed to take place on Oct. 13 and 14.

“It was so disappointing. This was no way to end the

season,” said Dom’s mother, Angie Petrocco.

By then Angie and her son were hopeful that the games would be postponed to a later date, but were disappointed to hear that the city’s bylaw do not permit any play on dia-monds after Oct. 15.

“It is just sad it had to end like this and I hope it doesn’t stop him (Dom) from wanting to play again next year,” said Angie.

In a letter to players and parents, Andrew Beattie, pres-ident, Ottawa Royals Baseball Club, said he did not fault spe-cifi c city staff for the closing of the ball diamonds.

He said he fully empathizes with any player who may be frustrated.

“As a player the one thing you love to do is play. Any-time that you are deprived the opportunity to play you are frustrated,” he said.

“I am proud that over 130 players had the opportunity to play out the majority of the games and extend the season this year.”

According to Beattie, the enforcement was merely the execution of a rule that was put in place to protect and prepare fi elds.

“On the matter of being un-able to extend the bookings beyond Oct.15, I did request for an exemption to play on the weekend of (Oct.) 20 to 21. I should point out that the city did grant our request for an exemption to play this weekend. However, this did not provide for enough time to co-ordinate player, umpire and volunteer participation,” said Beattie.

“As I mentioned in my let-ter to the players and parents, I don’t fault the city staff for this. If anything, they have been outstanding to deal with.

They were merely following a bylaw rule that closes all fi elds on Oct.15 for the season.”

In the future, Beattie hopes to address the issue of extend-ing the use of the diamonds for baseball in not only the fall but the spring as well.

“It is my hope that working with members of city council and city staff that we can fi nd resolution to extend the play-ing time in the region. In do-ing so, it would also add ad-ditional revenues for the city through fi eld rentals,” he said.

Beattie stressed that play-ers need to be able to practice on a diamond to improve their skills.

“Currently we spend a lot of money in other municipali-ties to play on their facilities because of this blanket fi eld bylaw treating diamonds like other fi elds in Ottawa,” he said.

A Quick Guide to RabbitsRabbits are intelligent, social animals. When given plenty

of attention, they make affectionate and rewarding family pets. They can be trained to use a litter box and are more enjoyable, responsive pets when living indoors as house rabbits. Given appropriate care, a rabbit can live up to 10 years.

Before adopting a pet rabbit, consider the following:

habitat.

hold and play with a rabbit, and are eager to welcome a rabbit into the family.

and wooden furniture and electrical cords, and will need to be monitored and confined.

Setting up HouseEssential items:Spacious cage with solid bottom

General CareRabbits make good pets for a family, but children should

not be expected to look after a rabbit without parental help. Small children need to be supervised. Rabbits should be lifted with their weight fully supported, never by the scruff of the neck or ears.

They can be easily injured through improper handling. Brush your rabbit’s coat daily and trim his nails every few weeks. Your rabbit can be taught to share your home though hazards such as electrical cords and toxic plants should be removed or made inaccessible to prevent accidents. Rabbits will chew and dig, so provide acceptable items for these purposes such as untreated wooden toys and a safe digging

items to minimize damage to your furnishings. Kind training, using lots of praise and treats, will teach your rabbit his place as a member of the family.

GET YOUR FLU SHOT AND MORE WITH EXPANDED CARE AT PARTICIPATING PHARMACIESOur government is expanding ways in which pharmacists can help Ontarians stay healthy. At a time when we’re making the most of our health care dollars, we need to make the most of our pharmacists’ knowledge, skills, commitment and care.

That’s why we’re making important changes to help busy families get the care they need. Now, pharmacists will be able to renew prescriptions for non-narcotic medications. This will make it easier for a mom out shopping to get a flu shot at a pharmacy in the same plaza instead of another trip to the clinic. Pharmacists can now help a dad quit smoking by prescribing medications that only doctors could prescribe in the past –and show a newly diagnosed patient how to take their blood sugar so they can manage their diabetes. Expanding services pharmacists deliver is another way we’re giving Ontarians greater access to health care they need closer to home.

WE ARE HERE TO HELPPlease visit my community office at 1795 Kilborn Avenue or contact my staff at 613-736-9573 if we can be of any assistance. We will try our best to help you.
