EMC News - One of the lead-ing voices behind the opposi-tion to plans for the redevelop-ment of Lansdowne Park will be leaving Ottawa in the new year to take on a role at the yet-to-be-opened Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg.
June Creelman has lived in Ottawa her whole life and has long been involved in the Glebe with the community as-sociation and later the presi-dent of the Friends of Lansd-owne since she moved to the neighbourhood in 1986.
The avid volunteer will be moving to Winnipeg for what
she described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the director of programming at the museum.
“It is a pretty important and challenging position, I am get-ting to take part in building a brand new museum,” Creel-man said.
From her three-year stint as Glebe Community Association president and her passionate advocacy against the redevel-opment of Lansdowne Park, Creelman said she is addicted to community involvement.
“I am probably on the ex-treme end when it comes to involvement,” Creelman said. “Ever since I have lived here, I have been involved in every-
thing I could.”Creelman doesn’t see this as
something she will give up ei-ther. It may take a few months, but she intends to join commu-nity groups once she moves to Winnipeg.
A big reason why she took the position at the museum was the way it appealed to both her volunteering and professional values.
The museum, Creelman said, will be the fi rst human rights museum in the world and the fi rst national museum outside of Ottawa.
“I am excited about of the opportunity, but being born and bred in Ottawa, the thought of moving to a new city was rath-
er daunting,” she said. “But I am happy to take on
this challenge and feel if there was a time in my life to do it, now is the time.”
Leaving won’t be easy, Creelman added.
“I am going to miss walking down Bank Street and seeing everyone I know,” Creelman said.
She’ll also miss having ex-perts in an array of subjects at her fi ngertips, too.
“When we would hold a meeting or have a concern, yes, we would have expert panel-ists, but, in the audience, you would actually fi nd fi ve more,” Creelman said.

EMC News - Old Ottawa East residents will continue their fi ght to bring back a hospital bus route when they take their concerns to the city’s transit commission in the new year.
Route 16 was one of the many routes cancelled at the beginning of September as part of OC Transpo’s route op-timization plan.
Ron Rose, who leads the Old Ottawa East Community Asso-ciation’s transit committee, said residents didn’t realize until it was too late that the route was in jeopardy and now they are making up for lost time.
“The fi rst rumours that we heard was that the 5 was going to be cut, and so we focused our efforts on the 5 and did not realize the 16 was at stake,” Rose said. “Then we saw that the 16 was being taking away. At the time, as a community we didn’t make a major com-plaint because we reacted to what came out of the leak.”
A partial list of route chang-es was leaked in the days ahead of the offi cial draft release, prompting some communities to act before the completed document was made public.
Rose said his community association’s efforts were put towards ensuring route 5 was saved and as a result, the changes to route 16 went un-noticed.
“The new route to the hos-pital, according to the OC Transpo trip planner takes 35 minutes. Route 16 took 10 to 15 minutes,” he said.
The new route to the hospi-tal also includes at least three

Plan to solve overcrowding problems gets board approvalEddie [email protected]
A plan that would see pro-grams and students moved between two elementary schools in the Glebe to solve overcrowding problems was endorsed by Ottawa Carleton District School Board trustees at a meeting on Dec. 20.
The plan will also see 11 classrooms added to Mutch-mor Public School, a project due to be completed by Sep-tember 2013.
In order to accommodate growing student populations in downtown area schools, the plan introduces a middle French immersion program at First Avenue Public School, allowing Mutchmor to offer a junior kindergarten-Grade 6 early French immersion pro-
gram. First Avenue, meanwhile,
would offer junior kindergar-ten-Grade 6 English and gifted programming.
“It is a community based solution that should provide for strong schools and stabil-ity for the long term,” said Rob Campbell, Capital and Rideau-Vanier trustee.
He said the solutions ad-opted by the board were com-pletely driven by community consultations.
“These are things that the community has been ask-ing for and hopefully that is what we have delivered,” said Campbell.
While most parents at the two Glebe schools indicated at a meeting late last month that they were comfortable with the
plan, members of Hopewell Public School’s council were not as excited about the recom-mendations.
They feared it would disrupt students and families and lead to substantial reduction of stu-dents at Hopewell.
The board’s decision will see Hopewell lose half of its intermediate student popula-tion to Glashan Public School.
Campbell admits not every-one is totally happy about the decisions.
“Hopewell now becomes more of regular JK-8 school and loses a lot of intermediates from the Glebe who would now be going to Glashan.”
Overall, Campbell said he was satisfi ed with the outcome, especially the role played by the community.

EMC News - The Glebe Com-munity Association has sup-ported a motion to support the City Centre Coalition in their efforts to improve the city’s proposal for the reconstruc-tion of Bronson Avenue north of the Queensway.
The motion was passed electronically on a tight Dec. 1 deadline for the public to
submit comments to the city regarding their proposal for reconstruction of Bronson.
The project would see Bron-son the existing four lanes widened to better accommo-date the signifi cant amounts of traffi c on the arterial road.
Johanna Persohn, a com-munity association board member and Bronson Avenue resident, submitted the mo-tion. Persohn said association
president Caroline Vanneste received a letter from the Dal-housie Community Associa-tion and Centretown Citizens Community Association ask-ing for support.
Persohn said she felt it was necessary for the Glebe Com-munity Association to support its neighbours.
“Bronson continues south of the Queensway and we know that they will be looking
south in the next few years,” she said. “Whatever they do north will set a precedent for the rest of the street.”
The coalition has also asked for Mayor Jim Watson to sup-port their cause.
The mayor has responded by saying he wants to work towards a resolution that ev-eryone can live with.
“I have asked to be kept informed to help fi nd the best
possible solution,” Watson said. “Personally, I would like to see wider sidewalks, but not necessarily a wider road. I am optimistic we will fi nd a sensible compromise that will make everyone, residents, mo-torists and businesses happy.”
Persohn said Bronson rep-resents a signifi cant physical barrier in the Glebees, one that is already diffi cult or danger-ous to cross.
One of her main concerns is the city wants to improve pedestrian and neighbourhood experiences, goals the widen-ing of the road would fail to accomplish for area residents.
“It would divide the neigh-bourhood,” Persohn said. “The important aspect is the plans for Bronson seemed be more about how to funnel more traf-fi c and little or nothing to pe-destrian friendly.”

player, when you do that, you feel like you’re doing it for the community that basically pays your salary and you’re helping out.
“A lot of times, you’ll go out and see kids and you see how much it means to them. Sometimes, we don’t realize how much people idolize us. It’s just a good feeling to be able to help out and give back in other ways.”
For Alfredsson, the adulation is there for him to see almost every time he’s out in public. He admits it’s “impossible” to do things like go to the grocery store and not be approached by fans who admire everything he’s done for the Senators in a

lists off “sports and health care and education” as huge drawing cards for them.
But much as it’s a community that has come to revere and fiercely support the National Hockey League’s longest-serving captain, Alfredsson gives back to it all the same. He is the longstanding face of the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health’s ‘You Know Who I Am’ campaign and lends his name to causes such as Ringside For Youth, an annual event that aids the local Boys and Girls Club.
“It’s been something I think we consciously did as a club,” he said of his community involvement in Ottawa. “As a

Daniel Alfredsson can’t tell you exactly when it happened, or if there really ever was a defining moment in that regard.
But the love affair with the city he now calls home keeps enduring for the Ottawa Senators captain. While he’ll always be true to his Swedish heritage, the native of Goteborg has fully embraced the Canadian capital that his brought so much to him and his family over the years.
“I think it just happened,” the 39-year-old Alfredsson said when asked when Ottawa truly felt like home to him. “It’s the same kind of thing as when you start dating your girlfriend and before you know it, she’s living with you. You move in a little bit here and there and then all of a sudden it’s ‘I guess we’re living together.’
“That’s the same thing that happened to us. We got more and more comfortable here, we had the kids (he and his wife, Bibbi, are the proud parents of four young boys, all of them born in Ottawa) … it just grows on you and all of a sudden, we’re more Canadian than Swedish.”
While the national capital region is now home to more than a million people, Alfredsson has always warmed to the small-town feel that Ottawa exudes. He and Bibbi consider it the ideal place to raise a family, and
career that has reached its 16th season. But Alfredsson has found a comfort zone within at all, though it took some doing on his part.
“I think I’m a fairly shy guy in new surroundings,” he said. “I found it hard in the beginning, when (you realized) everything you did was under the microscope. I’ve almost taken the approach to go more on the offensive and start asking questions myself. Instead of just asking all hockey questions, I’ll ask (fans) how they’re doing,

The Devils are showing plenty of early signs they’re primed to get back to the playoffs after a rare miss a year ago. Of course, it helps to have a premier offensive talent such as Zach Parise — who missed most of last season with an injury — back in top form again. His presence simply adds to an attack that features veterans Ilya Kovalchuk and Patrik Elias, along with Adam Henrique, one’s of the NHL’s top rookies. On the back end,
18-year-old rookie Adam Larsson has moved seamlessly into a spot alongside such veterans as Andy Greene and Anton Volchenkov, a former Senator. The ageless Martin Brodeur tends goal with capable support from Johan Hedberg.
Thursday, January 5, 7:30 p.m.,Sportsnet East
The Lightning have some serious work to do to get back into the post-season after a surprising run to the Eastern Conference final a year ago. Steven Stamkos has served notice he’s ready to contend for another Rocket Richard Trophy, which goes annually to the NHL’s top goal scorer. Martin St. Louis and Vincent Lecavalier continue to be key cogs in the Bolts’ attack, which also gets valuable contributions from the likes of Teddy Purcell
and Ryan Malone. On the blue line, Marc-Andre Bergeron adds some offensive punch, while Victor Hedman and Pavel Kubina are steadying forces. Mathieu Garon and Dwayne Roloson split the goaltending duties.

EMC News - Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury will no longer have to declare a conflict of interest when it comes to Claridge Homes developments – his father no longer works for the developer.
Fleury’s family connec-tion with the developer led to a dustup in the summer, when he was forced to pass off a controversial develop-ment fi le in his ward to fel-low councillors who sit on the planning committee be-cause he was not able to par-ticipate in the discussion or council vote.
Staff from the city’s plan-ning department recently told Fleury his father was no lon-ger working for the developer, and the councillor said he confi rmed that when he ran into his dad.
“It just means that now I’ll be able to be involved in the fi le, which was non-existent before,” Fleury said.
The councillor has slowly been informing community associations about the news, and he says when a Claridge fi le comes up at city council, he will formally announce that he no longer has a confl ict, to clarify the matter for his fel-low councillors.
Fleury confi rmed that he would still declare a confl ict
of interest if a project was contemplated before his father left the company.
His father is “semi-retired,” said Fleury, who added that he doesn’t know if his father had plans to work with other developers in the city now that he has parted ways with Claridge.
Fleury is not close to his fa-ther, and the potential confl ict of interest (or even the per-ception of a confl ict) wasn’t evident to the councillor af-ter he was elected and sworn in on Dec. 1, 2010. Fleury didn’t declare the confl ict un-til June, when a proposed de-velopment on Bruyere Street in his ward brought the issue to light.
In hindsight, Fleury said he “most defi nitely” should have sought legal advice at the beginning of his term last December, when he was fi rst learning about the city’s con-fl ict-of-interest policy.
“I didn’t think anything of it because I haven’t lived with my dad since many years,” Fleury said in the summer. “At that time, I didn’t perceive that link as relevant at all,” he said.
His parents divorced when he was eight years old and although he was close to his father when he was younger, Fleury said his relationship with his father has been more distant as he got older.
“Now that I understand more about declaration of interest and everything, that should have been (done) right off the bat in December. When we started, it should have been something that we dealt with,” Fleury said in the summer.
Fleury’s delayed decision left one Lowertown commu-nity group fuming, since he made the declaration only a few days before the Bruyere Street Task Force was set to oppose a proposed fi ve-storey, 108-unit development that it claimed was a threat to heri-tage buildings.
The group had worked on the file with the council-lor’s office for six months, exchanging hundreds of emails and holding several meetings, said Marc Aubin, the acting president of the Lowertown Community As-sociation.

EMC News - Seeing the fi rst trucks in nine months drive across the Cyrville Bridge was enough to bring a tear to Audrey Martin’s eye.
The 73-year-old mother-in-law of a nearby business owner was one of a handful of people on hand for the ribbon cutting to offi cially re-open the wid-ened bridge, which closed for construction in March.
“It’s such a special day,” Martin said. “Now I don’t have to go all the way around.”
Martin has lived in the Pin-eview neighbourhood south of the bridge for 45 years, and she said the closure of the bridge made it more diffi cult for her to visit her family.
Others were also happy to see the bridge open again, but downplayed the impact of its closure.
Greg Gaudreau, general
manager of M&T Glass, lo-cated at the south base of the bridge, said he didn’t see a dip in business while the detour was in place.
“It’s going to be fi ne this year,” he said. “But we don’t know what the year could have been,” if traffi c across the bridge had led to more walk-in customers, Gaudreau added.
He said he was happy to see the bridge open again, be-cause construction workers at the site had been saying the bridge was behind schedule and wouldn’t be done until February – two months after the Dec. 31 deadline.
But Gaudreau credited Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney for calming those fears and communicating with people in the area about when the bridge would actually open, slightly ahead of sched-ule on Dec. 20.
“I think the main concern is that it’s delivered on time,” Tierney said. “Christmas has come early.”
The bridge cost the provin-cial government $11.3 million to replace, including a small contribution from the city to make the bridge wide enough to allow for the future expan-sion of Cyrville Road to four lanes.
The bridge replacement is one of the fi rst steps in the project to widen and improve the “split” where Highway 417 and Regional Road 174 meet.
Design work for the im-proved split is underway, said Orleans MPP Phil McNeely, and the province will send out a tender for the construc-tion project next year. It’s set to begin construction by 2013, but it’s too early to say which parts of the $200-million proj-ect would be done fi rst.

OPINIONOPINION EMC - Your Community Newspaper
The year 2011 wasn’t so bad. The weather was pretty good, particularly in the summer. Ottawa’s downtown didn’t get dug up for tun-nels. A number of evil dictators left the scene, although not in Ottawa. The opening of IKEA didn’t tie up traffi c for weeks, as predicted. Actually, the opening of IKEA didn’t tie up traffi c for minutes.
Other areas were not so bad either. The economy – well, the economy could have been worse, which is a bit of a scary thought. More encouragingly, the capital region was not overrun by poisonous snakes. Tempera-tures did not reach -50. And if there were any hurricanes around here, they went unreported.
Unfortunately, it cannot be guaranteed that 2012 won’t be worse. Ominous signs are everywhere. Many of them look like Road Under Construction signs, but there are others as well. The leading economic indicators are leading downhill. The global temperatures keep climbing, even when we don’t want them to. The political polls show fewer and fewer of us showing much interest.
So what is there to look forward to? Is there any reason not to give up hope and move to Timbuktu or a suburb of Calgary? Well, it depends on your reaction to the fol-lowing scientifi cally derived predictions for 2012.
First of all, our National Hockey League team. The Senators are rebuilding, as you know. The good thing about that is that if they don’t win, we can assume they will be better next year. And if they win, we can assume they will be even better than that next year. There is nothing to lose with this attitude, except for losing.
Tunneling under downtown may concern you, as a source of noise, dust and traffi c chaos. Or you may just be looking forward to getting it over with. The prediction is that there will be no tunneling this year. However, yellow lines will be painted here and there.
We will, in fact, be grateful for even that, because government cutbacks will make yel-low paint diffi cult to come by, as well as a lot of other things, including staff and money. Governments will have to learn to do more with less, which, when you translate it into plain speech, means doing less.
This will affect a number of important projects, none so much as the proposal to give the National Arts Centre a more imposing entrance on Elgin Street. The more imposing entrance will now consist of some arrows on the sidewalk, made with yellow paint, point-ing to the existing entrance at the back.
As we have seen in years past, govern-ment cutbacks affect all aspects of life. For example, as we approach the end of 2012, we will notice that there are only 11 days of Christmas.
Not everything will be declining, however. One thing that will be increasing will be the height of new buildings. This is due to one of the miracles of Ottawa life – namely, the abil-ity of new condo towers to grow well past the heights to which they are legally entitled.
More such magic building are in store for 2012. The tallest one, so far, is scheduled for 89 storeys. It will be in the Glebe somewhere. True, 89 storeys may seem rather high, but the developers will be asking for 136 stories. Zoning is for three storeys, so 89 seems like a natural compromise, especially since it is certain that the Ontario Municipal Board will allow 148, should the decision be appealed.
Your fi nal thing to look forward to in 2012 is the building of another IKEA. The new one, out at Iris and Greenbank, turned out to be not big enough to house the anticipated Occupy IKEA movement. The new one is estimated to be the size of three airports. It will be built right next door to you, although it is not exactly zoned for that.

Sting of transit cuts threatens to live onCity council is still singing a
harmonious tune more than a year after being sworn in, and to hear the mayor speak, that would be its major accomplishment.
To be certain, a collegial atmo-sphere and renewed work ethic around the council horseshoe is something taxpayers can appreciate. But as we head into the new year, the co-operative spirit at city hall is not the most noticeable bit from this council’s 2011 that will be remem-bered well into 2012.
When it comes to impact on most
of us living in the city, it will be hard to beat council’s decision to slash $20 million from the transit budget.
The Sept. 4 route “optimiza-tion” was the source of much anger directed at city hall, but unlike what happens after many contentious council decisions, the opposition didn’t stop after the unanimous vote was tallied.
Residents hammered their coun-cillors over changes in their neigh-bourhoods. Petitions were circulated and rallies were staged right up until Sept. 4 and continued long afterward.
After the changes took place, social media outbursts, letters to the editor and water-cooler chatter continued about the fallout from the cuts.
It was the single biggest overhaul of the OC Transpo route map in many years – probably since the advent of the Transitway. And it’s not something that will benignly slip away with the turning of the calendar.
Overcrowded buses were an expected consequence, but when combined with ridership growth, the system was overwhelmed. Despite
setting out to save $20 million, city council has already voted to toss another $5.5 million at OC Transpo in an attempt to keep afl oat.
Councillors and transit mandarins are quick to deny they cut too much. Rather, they didn’t expect so many riders to hop on board.
One transit commissioner, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, even called overcrowding “a sign of excellence” at a recent transit com-mission meeting.
The transit system needs to be fi nancially sustainable, but in order
to do that it also needs to attract rid-ers. City councillors would have us believe that an unstoppable fl ood of riders are hopping on OC Transpo.
Time will tell if the optimization has a negative impact on ridership, but turning people off public transit as the city embarks on a grandiose plan to create a light-rail system is not the best tactic. We need to be creating a culture of transit ridership in Ottawa, not planting a seed of skepticism in people’s minds about whether the city can manage its cur-rent, and future, transit system.
CURRENT POLL QUESTIONAre you disappointed by the lack of snow so late in the year?
A) Yes. I love outdoor winter sports and the lack of snow has me itching for a good blizzard.
B) No. I can’t stand driving through icy, snowy conditions.
C) As long as there is snow for Christmas, it doesn’t matter too much to me.
D) Only days after Canada exits the Kyoto accord, nature gives us another sign that all is not right with the planet.
PREVIOUS POLL SUMMARYAre the Ottawa Police doing the right thing to warn women, particularly sex trade work-ers, to be on their guard?
A) Yes. It’s their job to look after the safety of all residents.
B) I agree with the warning, but they should have provided more de-tail to allow us to better identify the threat.
C) No. Since they were unable to reveal any more detail, they’re only causing unnecessary panic in the streets.
D) I’m more concerned it took them so long to link a series of unsolved homicides.

We were having a lovely pre-Christmas dinner with my in-laws, when the conversa-tion turned a little dark.
My father-in-law was ask-ing me about presents: Would I like clothes? A new winter coat? What size would I need? He’s a lovely man, who speaks impeccable English. But as a Francophone, he has a tendency of being overly direct in his second language.
When I told him I wear a size seven, he laughed. “I don’t think so,” he said. “You’re a very big girl. Not fat, but you’re not small, you know?”
Not exactly what every woman wants to hear a few days before the season of over-gorging on chocolate and hors d’oeuvres. He would have left it there, but I have a tendency to be provocative. “I’m bigger than I used to be,” I admitted. “But since I had the children, I’ve always worn a size seven, sometimes
an eight.”“But not in pants,” he
exclaimed. “Yes,” I said. “Actually, I
often wear a smaller top, but defi nitely a size seven.”
“I don’t think so,” he said. “You weren’t this big after you had the children. But you sit so much for work. I guess that is why. I think you are much bigger than you used to be.”
The conversation was re-ally going nowhere. I wanted to tell him that, despite my sedentary job and hobbies – I’ve recently taken up knitting – I power-walk fi ve kilometres each morning, run around after two children in the park for an hour every afternoon, and eat a very bal-
anced diet. But what was the point? Evidently, my father-in-law sees me as a giant. I told him to buy me a large or extra-large pair of pyjamas for Christmas, which seemed to satisfy him, and that was the end of it.
It got me thinking about how tactless we can be in conversation, particu-larly with our most familiar acquaintances. It’s these con-versations that can get people into trouble, particularly over the holidays. And although I portray myself as a victim here, I admit I can be one of the worst perpetrators. I am critical, opinionated, and tactless, and I happen to know a little about a lot of subjects; a bad combination if one is trying to avoid war among relatives.
So this holiday, I vow to clean up my act. I make the following promises to those who host me for Christmas cheer, despite my question-
able conversation skills:1) I will not tell my over-
weight uncle to put down the brownie, advise my alcoholic relatives on their wine intake, nor mention lung cancer to smokers;
2) I will not discuss my fears of World War III – including Iran’s nuclear capabilities, the rise of China, unemployment among youth, poverty in the Third World, and the impending global economic collapse – at the dinner table;
3) I will not rant about “heathens celebrating Christ-mas;”
4) I will not mention my cousin’s failed business, my friend’s failed marriage, or my client’s lack of organiza-tion skills;
5) I will not discuss third-wave feminism;
6) I will not give fi nancial advice, nor talk about the record-level of consumer debt in Canada, just as people are
contemplating their holiday overspending;
7) I will not tell people I think their children are brats because they’re overexposed to video games and television, nor will I cite research sug-gesting technology impedes children’s brain development;
8) I will not criticize tooth-less aunties who sneak sweets to my offspring;
9) I will not broach the subject of climate change as I stare at the two V-8s parked on the grass out the window of my friend’s 4,000-square-foot mansion;
10) I will not correct people’s grammar in polite conversation.
So if you were thinking of scratching me off your guest list this year, please reconsid-er. With politics, religion, and weather off the table, I really have no choice but to stick to my knitting. And really, there’s nothing controversial about that.

transfers, Rose said, whereas the old route 16 was a direct run to the all the hospital cam-puses.
“The number 16 was the only bus that took people from Centretown, Sandy Hill and our area to the hospital with-out making a transfer,” he said. “Now you have to transfer and that might not seem diffi cult, but if you are going to the hos-pital, you may not be in the shape to be climbing on and off buses to transfer.”
To accommodate the chang-es, OC Transpo made route 5 run more frequently on Main Street to replace route 16 in that section.
Now, route 16 offers a new service on the northerly portion
of Main Street and Greenfi eld Avenue between Hawthorne and Kind Edward avenues. It operates two ways on Chapel Street between Somerset Street and Lees Avenue, instead of one direction on Range Road.
Rose said these changes mean an extra transfer for ap-proximately 500 riders who use the section of Route 16 south of Lees. Savings from these changes in the area amount to $741,000 per year.
When Rose sent out an email asking if there were any residents who have been negatively affected by the route change, he received 15 responses immediately.
But he does give credit to OC Transpo, which recently recognized that the cuts were
excessive and has responded to some complaints.
“They have put in two round trips a day, calling it a special run from 5, from the corner of Chapel and Mann to Lees to the hospitals,” Rose said.
He said there will be two trips added to accommodate the bus route lost. One will
leave around 9:30 a.m. and the other at 12 p.m. They are not round trips, just two trips in one direction and two trips back which leave at 12:40 p.m. and 1:50 p.m.
“We fi nd these are totally inadequate,” Rose said. “The fi rst trip gets you there after 10 a.m. and most appointments ask for you to be there much earlier and visiting hours don’t start until 3 p.m., so for visitors it is useless and afternoon shift changes don’t even start until 3 p.m.”
Capital Coun. David Cher-
nushenko has lent his support to the association over the changes.
“Chernushenko has been helpful with helping us gather the information needed for us,” Rose said. “He is doing what he can to support us.”
Having the route returned is important beyond the reason of simply that residents miss it.
The Old Ottawa East transit committee is also looking for the support of their neighbour-ing communities when they take their concerns to the tran-sit commission, Rose said.

The museum’s location was another factor in her decision to move.
It is situated at The Forks, a heritage site in Winnipeg she said the Friends of Lans-downe used as a model in the group’s efforts to stop the re-development of the historic Ottawa park.
“I thought, this is meant to be. I will get to see fi rst hand what it is like,” Creelman said.
And although she will be leaving, she will not be step-ping down as president of the Friends of Lansdowne quite yet.
She said she wants to see it through, both to make sure the transition to a new presi-dent is smooth.
“I want to see it through,” Creelman said.
Creelman also said that even though she is leaving, she will be back. So far, she is keeping her home in the Glebe.
She said it is not easy to let go completely.
“I will be back, I see myself staying out there for two to three years and then coming home, but, you never know what the future will hold.”

Overbrook residents go on the watch
The community of Over-brook took crime prevention in their own hands in the new year, starting up their own neighbourhood watch. A joint effort between the Overbrook Community Association and the community police Const. Marc Daviault, the watch was the fi rst of its kind in the area.
Needle vans cause concern in Vanier
Concerned Vanier resident Debbie St. Aubin wanted to know why a white van was adding fuel to the fi re in an area she was working to re-move from the scourge of drugs and prostitution. After months of searching for an-swers, she learned the van was handing out safe needles and inhalation pipes much to St. Aubin’s chagrin. As it turned out, there were two vans, one run by the Somerset West Community Health Centre with provincial funding and the other by the city’s needle exchange program.
Correctional services delays parole offi ce move
After missing two dead-lines to have its Ottawa parole offi ce moved from its current
location, Correctional Service Canada set a new deadline leaving some Centretown res-idents outraged.
Residents said the offi ce location contradicts Correc-tions Canada’s own written guidelines that stipulate a pa-role offi ce can’t be within 300 metres of schools, parks and residential neighbourhoods.
Decline in members forces legion to move
For half a century, the Royal Canadian Legion Strathcona Branch 595 called a building on Greenfi eld Avenue their home, but changing times forced the legion to change locations.
In the past fi ve years, mem-bership at Ontario legions has declined by nearly 15 per cent, a downward trend legion offi cials said can be attributed to Canada’s aging Second World War and Korean War veterans.

Beechwood Avenue fi reOn March 16, the face of
New Edinburgh changed with
a devastating fi re that burned down a series of apartments and shops along Beechwood Avenue. The fi re started in the basement of Home Hardware at 9 a.m. and by 6:30 p.m., the store and the entire building, was destroyed, leaving 11 peo-ple homeless. Toxic fumes and smoke covered the New Edin-burgh neighbourhood forcing area residents to remain in their homes. The building at 409 MacKay St. which was connected to the Beechwood structure, did not burn down, but smoke and water damage
was so severe most residents have yet to move back in.
Vanier man fi rst to climb Peace Tower for charity
One step at a time, Donald Lanouette climbed the Peace Tower 33 times on March 25. That’s 500 fl ights up, 500 fl ights down and 16,000 steps in 2:15 hours. He was the fi rst man in history ever to accom-plish the feat, which was done to raise money and awareness for the Ottawa school break-fast program. His goal was to raise enough money to feed
11,000 hungry Ottawa chil-dren.
City approves Nepean Street condo towers
A pair of 27-storey condo towers planned by Claridge Homes for Nepean Street were approved by city coun-cil despite objection from residents in the surrounding community. The site at 89 and 91 Nepean St. was zoned for buildings about 12 storeys.
The developer will givea “community benefi t” pay-ment.

Baseball stadium futurein jeopardy
A report concerning the Ottawa Baseball Stadium was released on March 31, indicat-ing the city-owned land could not simply rely on baseball for its fi nancial survival.
The Overbrook Commu-nity Council wanted to see the stadium play a role in the redevelopment of the area, but the report, released days later, did not support baseball as a future for the stadium.
Preschool play areas identifi ed in the Glebe
The Northeast Glebe Parks Committee wants to have the underutilized land in the area turned into preschooler play areas to service what they say is an underserviced neigh-bourhood. The committee held a public consultation as part of an effort to fi nd more public space for a growing number of young children in the area.
Manor Park church turns down cellphone tower offer
Although the Church of St. Columba desperately could have used the $5,000 a cell-phone tower on their prop-erty could have provided, the church to side with the com-munity. Rogers Communica-tions approached the church in early April about placing a cellphone tower on their prop-erty. Rev. Jim Beall said it was clear the community was opposed to the idea, so the church declined. “I think, per-
sonally, we will benefi t more as a strong Christian parish than we would with $5,000,” Beall said.
MAY
Bank Street reconstruction set to start
The reconstruction of Bank Street, which saw the section running through the Glebe closed for nearly six months, began on May 24.
Early in May, the city an-nounced it had awarded the $22 million project to Ottawa Greenbelt Construction and crews are expected to start digging up the street to allow the nearly century-old sewers and water pipes in the area to be replaced.
Changing the face of Montreal Road
On May 9 the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health broke ground on what will be their new Wabano Mamawi centre, to be completed for fall 2012, opening a new chapter in health for Aborigi-nal people in Ottawa and for residents in the Vanier neigh-bourhood. The centre’s plans are to continue to focus on health in a holistic manner, maintaining that to heal the physical being, the mental be-ing also needs to heal, but a new focus on the community is also in mind.
Dewar seizes day for NDP in Ottawa Centre

Community loses bid
for New Edinburgh community centre
A bid to keep the old school house at 200 Crichton St. public ended in disappoint-ment for the executive board of New Edinburgh’s Crichton Cultural Community Cen-tre board after the School of Dance placed a bid of $5 mil-lion to purchase the building. The bid came two years after an Ontario court ordered the sale of the building following a lengthy dispute between the community group and compa-ny. The community attempted to raise money for the build-ing, through community fund-raisers and donations. The centre and School of Dance had entered into an agreement with the city of Ottawa to take ownership of the building 11 years ago, but the partnership did not work out, devolving
into the legal dispute.
Public consultation began for bridge study
The fi rst round of public consultations started up in June concerning the environ-mental assessment study for the proposed interprovincial bridge. The public was only given a week’s notice to re-spond and participate in the National Capital Commission consultation. Only residents who had been previously in-volved with the other two phases were informed about the consultations this time around. Residents in all areas affected by a potential inter-provincial bridge scrambled to make it to the consultation cafés and planning work-shops, but vocalized their concern with the manner in which the NCC was carrying out the process.

Ottawa Public Health has been encouraging voluntary smoke-free outdoor spaces with the goal of protecting residents from second-hand smoke and increasing public awareness about its dangers.

New Year brings about familiar changesEMC Lifestyle - As far
as Father was concerned there were going to be some changes made in the New Year. He couldn’t count the number of years he had spent every night sitting in front of the Findlay Oval in his rock-ing chair with his feet up on the oven door. Now all that had changed. Mother had decided she would be like all the other farm wives in Northcote and put up a quilting frame in the kitch-en. Then she would be able to take her turn at having the afternoon quilting bees just like everyone else.
Of course that meant the big rectangle frame took up most of the space, since it would be impossible to even consider putting it up
in the parlour, which was the smallest room in the house. And besides, in the winter, when everyone quilted, the parlour was as cold as an igloo. So the kitchen was the only place for the big lumbering quilting frame.
So, the fi rst thing Father threatened when the New Year rolled around, was to get rid of the quilting frame.
Everything had to be
shifted around to make way for it when Mother made up her mind to have the neigh-bourhood ladies in when it came her turn.
The big pine table was shoved to the centre of the fl oor, and almost touched the wood box, the ice box was moved, and the back-to-the-wall cupboard, in-stead of sitting cattie corner was fl at against the wall and came awfully close to the stove.
Of course, that meant Father had no room for his rocking chair. He liked lots of room for his favourite sit-ting spot on a cold winter night.
Well, the new page on the Rexall calendar had hardly had a chance to get used to
it’s place on the wall , when Father started lamenting about getting the kitchen back to what he called “normal”.
But what to do with it was the question. A quilt had already been started, and Mother had already had two afternoons with the neigh-bourhood ladies crammed around the big frame.
My sister Audrey said if the truth be told, Mother would be as glad as Father to see the last of it. There was hardly room to walk around it, and besides it took up four kitchen chairs, whose backs were the resting place for the wood slats that formed the frame. Yes, my sister Audrey said, Mother would be just as glad as Father to see it gone.
But Mother would never admit this to Father. Giv-ing in just wasn’t her way. No, said my older and much wiser sister, Mother would just have to think of a way to get rid of the quilting frame without admitting it was a mistake putting it up in the kitchen in the fi rst place.
Well, as it so often hap-pened, our neighbour (who Mother often said saved her life when she moved to the farm after living in New York City for 18 years) solved the problem.
Aunt Bertha’s house, across the 20 acre fi eld from
us, was much bigger than ours. It had to be to accom-modate the many children in the household. And I used to think the kitchen could probably hold our entire old log house with no trouble at all!
As it turned out, one of the Thom girls had been married in the Fall, and having grown up in a houseful of quilters, she very much wanted to take Aunt Bertha’s quilting frame over to her home a few concessions away.
When Aunt Bertha told Mother how she would miss having a quilting frame in the kitchen, Mother never missed a beat and offered her the one from our kitchen.
Although Aunt Bertha said she couldn’t possibly take our frame, Mother in-sisted. And she said, after all, it wasn’t as if it was be-ing moved out of the coun-ty.
And besides, she would be there often at the quilt-ing bees with all the other Northcote ladies during the winter months ahead.
All I know is that one day in January we went off to the Northcote School as usual. And when we got home, the quilting frame was gone. Now, how Father got it over to Aunt Bertha’s without disrupting the quilt already in it, was an issue no one was prepared to discuss!
But all I know was when I walked in the kitchen from school, the old pine table was back against the win-dow looking out into the grape arbour, the ice box was back cattie-corner, the back-to-the wall cupboard was where it had stood for three generations, and Fa-ther’s rocking chair was in its place beside the wood box.
That night, I looked around the old familiar room that was our kitchen. It seemed so much larger, but of course, it wasn’t. It just seemed that way without the quilt frame. As always, Fa-ther had the Findlay Oval fair jumping, and the heat could be felt in the farthest cor-ner of the room. And there sat Father.
In his rocking chair, his stockinged feet up on the oven door, and the Ot-tawa Farm Journal on his lap.
We never knew what other changes Father had in mind for the beginning of the New Year. He seemed content that the most important one had been accomplished with little fanfare, and to every-one’s satisfaction.
To all of you, our faithful readers, may I send my sin-cere best wishes for a year ahead of good health and happiness. Mary Cook

Daily activities can burn caloriesSpecial to the EMC
Some people think they have to spend hours at the gym sweating on the treadmill or elliptical trainer in order to burn calories and lose weight. As it turns out, the things you do every single day could be burning more calories than you realized. Some discipline with your diet and certain healthy habits can make the difference for those attempting to lose weight.
Getting eight hours of sleep can burn more than 300 calo-ries for the average person.
Discovery Health and Har-vard Medical School shared common everyday activities and how many calories can be burned depending on weight. These fi gures are based on a person weighing around 150 pounds and a duration of one hour of activity.
* Supermarket shopping: Pushing a wagon around the supermarket for an hour can burn 240 calories or more. Up the ante by bagging groceries yourself and packing and un-packing them from the car.
* Raking leaves: If you spent
time manually raking leaves this past fall, you were doing something good for your body. In addition to working several muscle groups, you may have spent 300 calories.
* Dusting: Spring cleaning is right around the corner, and that can be good news for your health. Dusting alone can burn as much as 160 calories.
* Cooking: Here’s a reason to get fi red up about cooking. Making a simple meal can add up to 200 calories lost. Just don’t sabotage those lost calo-ries by cooking up a fattening
dinner.* Moving: Packing and
moving may seem like a big task one rarely looks for-ward to, but carrying boxes can burn 460 calories an hour. Packing, moving and unpacking yourself may be the diet plan you’ve been seeking.
* Painting: Perhaps you’ve been procrastinating on that house painting project. Here’s inspiration to break out the rollers and brushes. Spend-ing an hour painting can burn 350 calories.
FOODFOOD EMC - Your Community Newspaper
Recalling a remarkable year in the countryEMC Lifestyle - At the
end of every year, I usually write a column that isn’t a recipe but that is food-related. This time, howev-er, instead of food, I want to share with you some of the enjoyment we’ve had watching the local wildlife during the past year.
We live in a rural area on a property that has a lot of mixed bush. Over the 36 years that we’ve been here, we’ve seen a variety of wildlife and birds, but this year’s sightings were exceptional.
In the spring, we looked out our kitchen window one morning and saw an indigo bunting at the bird feeder. This bird takes your breath away with its brilliant blue
colour, and we’ve only ever seen two or three.
A few days later, I star-tled up a pileated wood-pecker near the barn, a bird that we often hear tapping on the trees but one that we seldom see. It sat on the telephone wire for almost fi ve minutes before fl ying to the front of the house where it was joined by its mate.
Then there are the deer that share our property
and occasionally our gar-den with us. We see the does with their fawns every summer, but this year was special. We saw a newborn fawn that was less than an hour old, the youngest we’ve ever seen.
Early one evening in June, from our kitchen win-dow, we spotted a pregnant doe in the fi eld beside the house. As we watched, we realized that she was act-ing in an unusual way, wandering restlessly without grazing.
We suspected that she might be close to giving birth and continued watch-ing her for awhile. See-ing nothing happening, we eventually went back to our chores.
Less than an hour later, we looked out and saw her again. Only this time, there was a tiny spotted fawn fol-lowing her. Still wet, it was hardly bigger than a cat. Its legs were so short and spin-dly that it had to hop over even the smallest tufts of grass.
The next morning, we saw them again. By then, the fawn had founds its balance and was running around the fi eld, fi rst in one direction, then another, full of energy and enjoying it-self. Meanwhile, its mother followed along, trying to stay nearby.
Not all our visitors were tiny and cute however. One evening about 8:30, as Jeff came into the living room
where I was sitting, he blurted out “Oh, my gosh! Look!”
A large black bear was walking across our lawn barely 20 feet from the house. I had just come in from the barn 15 minutes before, so that was far too close for comfort. I don’t think I started breathing again until the bear had dis-appeared into the bush.
Next, the wild turkeys showed up. At fi rst, there were two adult females with 15 chicks between them, then another female joined them with her young, and brought the number up to 22. Over the summer and fall, we watched the young turkeys grow from turtle-sized lumps into
adult birds.Now, almost every after-
noon just before dusk, we see between 15 and 20 tur-keys march across our lawn or the nearby fi eld, always in single fi le. When they reach the maple bush at the end of the house, they fl y up into the trees where they roost for the night. In the morning, they wake, stretch, and preen, then fl y to the ground, wings spread as they come in for a land-ing to start another day of ambling along looking for food.
From a newborn fawn to a bear, from a striking blue in-digo bunting to turkeys with iridescent bronze feathers, it was a remarkable year in the country.

Pet AdoptionsANIMALS OF CHRISTMAS
DUSTYDusty, is a much-loved fi ve-year-old pet parrot that fl ew
the coop when he was spooked by the sound of a loud plane overhead. He went missing from his family’s home for two weeks this past summer. The family was devas-tated and feared that he would never return. Two weeks later, Dusty was found and brought to the OHS. A joyous reunion with his owners soon followed thanks to the dedi-cated OHS staff.
O.C. ID#A089606O.C. (for Orange Cat) is fi ve years old, and one of the lon-
gest residents at the OHS. O.C. was brought to the shelter as a stray last July. Over those fi ve months, shelter staff have come to know this orange tabby very well and observed that he’s defi nitely a loner. With that in mind, and in order to keep him relaxed and happy to receive visitors at the shelter, O.C. is now housed in a cat condo all his own while he waits patiently for a forever home.
ROBYNThis four-year-old Collie/German Shepherd mix was
transferred from another shelter to the OHS. Robyn is al-ways on the go! She’s very intelligent and active, but while in the Adoption Centre, the OHS Canine Behaviour Special-ist observed that she was becoming more and more restless and stressed. To keep her busy and stimulated, an enrich-ment program was developed for her. OHS volunteer dog walkers implemented the program and successfully worked with Robyn to keep her relaxed and to teach her basic com-mands, until she was adopted into her forever home.
KRINGLE ID#A138464Kringle is a three-month-old Great Dane mix who was re-
cently rescued by the OHS RIS team following a call from a member of the public who spotted him loose and injured in the neighbourhood. Kringle couldn’t stand or walk when he was brought in. He had bumps and small lesions on his snout and was in a great deal of pain. The OHS veterinar-ian gave him pain medication and diagnosed him with an uncommon condition, known as Juvenile Cellulitis. He was immediately treated with medication for this condition and Kringle is now recuperating in the home of a foster volun-teer and will continue to be monitored by the OHS veteri-narian until he’s ready for his own forever home.

EMC News - A new wood-working shop at Rideau High School is offering Grade 8 students at a nearby elemen-tary school the opportunity to enhance their science and technology education. The woodshop at Queen Elizabeth Public School was closed sev-eral years ago.
Since then, science teacher Sandra Walker has been teach-ing the design and technol-ogy portion of her curriculum without a proper classroom.
Looking to change that, Walker teamed up with Robert Aucoin from Rideau’s Wood-links program to apply for Lowe’s home improvement grant program to help build a new woodshop at the high school that Queen Elizabeth students could use.
Lowe’s provided the school with $8,000 worth of equip-ment for the program and over the course of nine months the new classroom was created.
On Dec. 19, Walker and her students celebrated the open-ing of the shop by making wooden hall passes.
“This is hands-on science,” Walker said. “This program does two things for my stu-dents. It offers them a nice transition from our school to high school and it offers the
kids the opportunity to have hands-on experience they didn’t have before.”
With only half a kilometre separating the two schools, Walker said she loves the con-nection that has been created. She added it is important to give her students exposure to as many learning experiences as possible so students have an open mind when it comes to choosing a career path.
“High school can be full of pressure. Sometimes these courses get pushed to the way-
side,” Walker said. “But to in-troduce them to skill trades before high school, they might learn they really enjoy it.”
Emily Desmedt, one of the Grade 8 students, the morning of Dec. 19 cutting and design-ing her hall pass.
“This is a lot of fun,” Des-medt said.
An artistic 13-year-old, Desmedt said she sees herself making more wood crafts.
“I would like to take other designs and sell them for char-ity,” Desmedt said.

inhaler for the treatment of asthma
Several people use pressurized metered-dose inhalers, to better control their asthma. The benefits obtained from this treatment largely depend on the user’s ability to work the device correctly. In practice, less than half of those who use the pressurized metered-dose inhaler do so optimally.
If you or your child must use a pressurized metered-dose inhaler to control your asthma symptoms, here are a few tips:
To maximize the benefits of your pressurized metered-dose inhaler, get an easy-to-use device such as the anti-static valved holding chamber AeroChamber Plus* Flow-Vu. This consists of a medical device that helps push the flow of medication contained in a pressurized metered-dose inhaler, into the lungs. It helps to solve coordination problems linked to the misuse of the inhaler;
Whatever device you choose (with mask or mouthpiece), make sure it suits all of your needs or those of your child. Your pharmacist can help you choose the best device;
Make sure you are well informed on how to use the products in your possession;
Clean your device regularly by referring to the manufacturer’s instructions;
Closely follow your doctor’s instructions on how to use the prescribed medications contained in a pressurized metered-dose inhaler.
Talk to your pharmacist or consult the PJC Friendly Advice for more information on how to better control your asthma.
