EMC news - A monument to Manotick’s founder Moss Kent Dickinson will fi nally get the attention it deserves this spring.

The Rideau Township Historical Society, along with Dickinson Square Heritage Man-agement Inc. (DSHMI), will restore the crum-bling Dickinson family memorial in Beech-wood cemetery.

Long-time historical society member Brian Earl said he’s been working on the project for three years, ever since he discovered the monu-ment in the old section of the national ceme-tery in Vanier with a broken pillar lying on the ground beside the otherwise stately structure.

The sandstone engravings are also fading quickly, and will likely disappear in the next

50 years, Earl said. As well, the monument is skewed on its based and chipped on one corner, the result of what Earl suspects was a run-in with a wayward mowing machine.

“When I saw that, I thought ‘that’s terrible for Moss Kent, the founder of the village.’ And I’ve been working since then to have it re-stored,” Earl said.

He originally wanted to re-engrave the sand-stone plaques and restore the actual monument, but Beechwood staff insisted the stone struc-ture is a historic artefact in its own right, and must be preserved as is.

Instead, a masonry fi rm will repair the bro-ken pillar, and the engravings will be copied on a nearby bronze plaque to preserve the in-formation.

Rideau corridor strategy invites residents to share what they love Emma [email protected]

EMC news - Parks Cana-da hosted a series of public workshops in early March to explore what residents along the Rideau Canal love about the world heritage site where they live, work and play.

The workshops were part of the Rideau Corridor Land-scape Strategy, a multi-year study which includes a land-scape character assessment to map and document the cultural, historical, economic and natural signifi cance of the Rideau corridor from Lake Ontario all the way to the Ot-tawa River.

The assessment is primarily meant to help Parks Canada report to UNESCO about the status of its world heritage designation, but it also aims to guide appropriate planning and management of the area in the future.

“The purpose of the land-scape character assessment is really to consider the land-scapes of the Rideau Corridor today, how they came to be, how they may change in the future and to make sure any future development is respect-ful of the visual qualities and character of the corridor,” said Caroline Marshall, the Dillon Consulting planner leading the research.

Merrickville mayor Doug Struthers, who chairs the strategy’s steering committee, stressed the exercise is more than just keeping the world heritage designation.

“We’re helping Parks Can-ada respond to UNESCO, but we’re helping our commu-nities say ‘these are impor-tant values. Do we have the tools? Do we enough tools, do we need more tools, do we need different tools?’” said Struthers.

“At the end of the day...we have a better idea of what’s

important to our communi-ties.”

The fi rst of three public consultations was held at the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority headquarters in Manotick on Tuesday, March 6, and simply asked residents to identify what aspects of the Rideau Corridor are special to them.

The approximately 40 resi-dents who attended were invit-ed to place arrows on a map of the Rideau Corridor pointing to places that are culturally, historically, economically and environmentally important to them.

Places like Watson’s Mill in Manotick, the migratory bird sanctuary in Merrickville and the waterway itself as a recre-ational gem were common ex-amples of what people wanted to protect in the future.

A Dillon consultant at the meeting estimated that if each attendee identifi ed 10 things they love, and the same num-ber of residents do the same at the other two meetings held in Merrickville and Kingston, the planners would have more than 1,000 examples of what residents love about the Ride-au Corridor.

Of course, residents are able to provide feedback outside of the workshops as well.

The study’s website www.rcls-sacr.ca has comment sheets for download, and resi-dents can also upload photos of their favourite spots to the study’s Flickr.com page.

Marshall said comments would be most useful in the next month or so, but they can be collected on an ongoing basis until the assessment is complete at the end of 2012.

The feedback is part of the “desktop research” portion of the study, which will transi-tion into fi eld research this summer.

EMC news - The federal government has announced $12 million in funding to help women improve their safety and economic security in ru-ral, remote and northern com-munities, in honour of Inter-national Women’s Week.

Minister for Status of Wom-en Rona Ambrose announced the funding March 6 at the Canadian Agriculture Muse-um, noting that 48 grassroots projects have already been ap-proved across the country.

She said the projects can focus on improving women’s safety or economic security – or both.

“We believe that women’s safety goes hand in hand with their economic security,” she said.

The government’s theme for this year’s women’s week is “Strong women, strong Canada: Women in rural, re-mote and northern communi-ties – key to Canada’s eco-

nomic prosperity.”Ambrose said these small

projects promote business de-velopment, training and eco-nomic security, and will help rural women prosper in their communities.

“We want these communi-ties to remain dynamic, we want these communities to retain their vitality, and if we don’t support the people that are living there, they won’t remain in those areas. They won’t be able to,” she said.

Ambrose said the challeng-es women in rural and remote areas face are augmented by isolation.

“They face similar chal-lenges as women in urban ar-eas, but they face those chal-lenges in a more acute way. The services that many wom-en in urban areas need are not accessible to women in rural areas,” she said.

More than 250 organiza-tions applied for funding through the new program, of which 48 have already been

approved. More projects will likely be approved, although Ambrose couldn’t say how many.

She said the monetary amount per project is rela-tively small, but results will be signifi cant.

“They’re smaller proj-ects, but most of the groups we work with do incredible things with very little money. The results are incredible,” she said.

Ottawa-based Union Cul-turelle des Franco-Ontari-ennes is the only local orga-nization currently approved, receiving $300,000 over three years to develop economic ac-tion plans for three rural com-munities across Ontario.

Executive director Guylaine Leclerc said the money will be used to create a central eco-nomic plan which will then be adapted to three very dif-ferent communities: Alfred in eastern Ontario, Pain Court in southern Ontario and Hearst north of Sudbury.

These three communities have strong Francophone communities, and have each struggled economically for different reasons. In Alfred, the small agricultural town is caught half-way between Ottawa and Montreal, and lacks economic development. In Pain Court, the decline of the auto industry in nearby Windsor has had an impact. Hearst is primarily a forestry town but has suffered several sawmill closures in the recent past.

Leclerc said the towns were well placed to hit the ground running with such a project.

“We spotted these places where there was an active

group of women that we could get going, if we had funding. They were ready to go a little bit further,” she said.

The Union Culturelle is much like the English wom-en’s institutes found across rural Ontario.

However since Franco-phone women were often mi-norities in Ontario communi-ties, the group evolved differ-ently to take on a three-tiered system of local, regional and provincial branches. It also developed policy portfolios on health, safety, violence and other women’s issues over the years.

“We are everything to these women, because there are not that many other resources,” Leclerc said.

Ambrose said the projects cover a range of women’s is-sues, which are often specifi c to the region.

“These projects are as di-verse as the communities they will serve and the women who live in them,” she said. “‘One

size fi ts all’ solutions do not work, given the many differ-ent realities of rural, remote and northern communities.”

International women’s week ran March 4 to March 11. It in-cluded International Women’s Day on March 8.

Another plaque will include a brief history of Dickinson’s life, which includes two terms as Ottawa’s mayor and a term in Parliament as MP for Rus-sell.

The family plot includes Dickinson, his wife Elizabeth Trigge and his six children. Earl said the monument fell into disrepair because there are no ancestors to take care of the plot, since none of Dickin-son’s children ever married.

His son Alpheus died in infancy, and daughter Lydia died of tuberculosis as a teen-ager.

Charlotte and George were both engaged but lost their fi -ancés to tuberculosis.

Elizabeth also had a fi ancé but he was killed in a train ac-cident at Manotick Station.

William came closest to

matrimony, but his bride ran away with the best man sever-al days before the ceremony.

Marital tragedy was a com-mon theme in the family. Dickinson himself lost his wife in 1861 several months after giving birth to his daugh-ter Elizabeth.

Even Dickinson’s business partner Joseph Currier, who co-founded Watson’s Mill, lost his young wife after only one month of marriage when she was killed inside the mill during a demonstration.

Earl said without descen-dents to take responsibility the monument has fallen into disrepair.

“We thought as the histori-cal society we would take on the task of remembering them and looking after their grave site,” he said.

Beechwood cemetery ex-

ecutive director Roger Boult said individual monuments are privately owned, and the cemetery doesn’t have the au-thority to repair them unless permitted by family mem-bers.

In cases like the Dickin-son monument, Boult said it’s possible to go ahead without permission.

“When there is no identi-fi able owner or no survivors, we could undertake the re-pairs ourselves if we had the funds to do so,” he said.

But as more monuments begin to break from age, the cemetery can’t afford to re-store everything, Boult said. However he said the cemetery is looking for ways to engage the community to raise funds for certain historical restora-tion projects.

“As the cemetery gets older

and as we become more of a tourist attraction, we do have a moral responsibility to come up with ways to maintain and restore these monuments to a certain extent,” he said.

DSHMI relied on govern-ment funding for its project, applying to the city of Otta-wa’s heritage grant program on behalf of the historical so-ciety.

DSHMI will match the $2,000 it received from the city as needed to complete the project by May or June, Earl said.

Isabelle Geoffrion, man-ager of DSHMI member Wat-son’s Mill, said the project is an important step to cement-ing Dickinson’s place in local, regional and national history.

“When individuals can place a historic fi gure with something they can relate to,

when you can associate that fi gure with an event or a time, it makes it more real.

“You realize that these were people too, just like us,” said Geoffrion, who noted that Dickinson was mayor of Ottawa at the time when the Parliament buildings were be-ing constructed in the 1860s. “He was there when Canada was being established, in es-sence.”

She said there will be a cor-responding plaque in Dickin-son Square that matches the one in Beechwood cemetery.

Earl said work will begin “as soon as the snow goes” this spring, with Martel and Sons from Vankleek Hill com-ing on site to fi x the pillar.

“We’ve been sleeping on it for the winter and we’ve got to wake up everybody to get going,” he laughed.

Have you been thinking about renovating your home? Ottawa’s very own real estate and design television series, ALL FOR NOTHING?, gives local homeowners a chance to maximize their most valuable investment: their homes.

Renovating your house can be a daunting, overwhelming task. Whether you are looking to make your space more functional for your family, or you want to maximize your home’s value before listing for sale, it is hard to know where to start. ALL FOR NOTHING? offers homeowners the unique opportunity to gather advice from top real estate agent Paul Rushforth and award-winning designer Penny Southam – all with a focus of getting the most bang for your buck.

Since the start of filming in 2010, the host duo has helped homeowners increase the value of their homes by a collective 1.5 million dollars. “That is an amazing number!” says Rushforth, “People always want to improve their homes. And you don’t have to spend a lot to do that, you just have to be creative and be prepared for hard work. I’ve been so impressed with what people have accomplished on the show.”

Participants receive free design plans for the most important areas of their homes from Southam Design – a service worth thousands of dollars. “We encourage homeowners to tap into sweat equity instead of their bank accounts,” says Southam, “On ALL FOR NOTHING?, the average home value increases by $27,000 with expenses of only $2,600.

That’s a return of more than ten times the investment!” Suitable houses for ALL FOR NOTHING? will be in need of renovation and repair with potential for a visual transformation. If raising the value of your home significantly in just two weeks’ time isn’t enough motivation to take on this challenge – participants also have the chance to win a commission-free listing from Paul Rushforth.

To find out how you can be on ALL FOR NOTHING?, contact Sonja via email at [email protected], phone 613-237-4447 or visit allfornothingtv.ca.

EMC news - Nine young actors will take the stage this Friday to tell the story of Can-ada’s home children, as part of a collaboration between Just Kiddin Theatre and Osgoode Township Museum.

“Belonging: Journey of a Home Child” will be pro-duced at the museum on Fri-day, March 16 at 11 a.m.

The play follows Emma McLeary, a young British girl who arrives at an Osgoode

area farm in a post mail cart only to discover Canadian vil-lage life is nothing like what she used to know.

As she gets used to her new family and new home, Emma must overcome the stigma of being a home child – children from the Mother Country who were orphaned, surrendered by impoverished parents or even snatched without per-mission and sent to Canada between the 1850s and 1900.

The Ontario government estimates that up to 70,000

settled in Ontario. Once in Canada, they were

treated as second class citi-zens, often mistrusted and os-tracized from the community.

“The home children were treated differently, they weren’t looked on as adopted children, but more as adopted help,” said playwright Steph-anie Parry. “Imagine a kid with a Scottish accent, who maybe lived on the streets of Edinburgh and has been put on a cart and sent to Canada. They don’t exactly fit into Os-

goode.” Not surprisingly, the play is

a lesson in learning to belong. Emma’s story is mirrored

by that of a “fancy Halifax lady” who arrives on the same train with her doctor husband. She also struggles to fit in, but with the help of Emma’s new guardian the two newcomers begin to learn the ways of the town.

Many scenes take place in the general store, the “hub of gossip” for townsfolk and a community gathering place, Parry said.

Parry wrote the historical drama with the help of Just Kiddin Theatre director And-rie Nel, and got much of her historical information from the Osgoode Township Mu-seum in Vernon.

She said the museum al-lowed the young actors to explore the museum and get a sense of mid-1800s life.

Museum staff Robin Cush-nie said it’s an important local topic since so many children came here from the main dis-tribution centre in Brockville.

“It’s kind of a dark chapter in commonwealth history, and there are a lot of descendants from those people every-where,” she said.

Costume donations from Upper Canada Village will give an authentic feel to the play, and have helped the kids get into character, Parry said.

She began writing the play last fall, when home child commemorative groups se-cured British Home Child Day on September 28.

The plot is fictional, but Parry drew on stories from lo-cal descendants in the area.

“I met people whose grand-ma was a home child. So they’re retelling the stories of their grandmas or their moth-ers,” Parry said.

The true story of a child arriving in a post mail cart months after he was due to ar-rive – much to the surprise of his new guardians – struck a chord with Parry, and she de-cided to include it in the plot.

The troupe toured to area schools on Thursday, March 8 and Friday, March 9 as well.

EMC news - The City of Ottawa is collecting feedback on plans for a new gas bar at the corner of Rideau Road and Bank Street.

MacEwen Petroleum Inc has applied to the city to build a fi ve-pump gas station and convenience store on the northwest corner of the inter-section at 5026 Bank Street. The site currently houses the rusty remains of another gas station that closed down sev-eral years ago.

According to the applica-tion, the proposed conve-nience store would be 200 square metres, and fi ve gas pumps and 19 parking spaces would be installed directly in front and to the sides of the store.

The gas station would have two accesses from Bank Street and one from Rideau Road.

MacEwen already operates several gas stations in the Ot-tawa South area, including one at the corner of Mitch Owens and Albion Roads, and another in Riverside South.

The company is headquar-tered in Maxwell, Ontario and operates gas stations across eastern and northern Ontario as well as western Quebec.

Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson said he supports the project, which will rebuild and revamp the corner lot that is currently overgrown and neglected.

“Its going to be better than what is there now, and the fact that its zoned for that dictates what can be done with it,” he said.

Findlay Creek community association president Eva Pigeon-Seguin said putting another gas station just south of her booming village won’t likely impact residents too much, especially since there are two gas stations directly north of the village along Bank Street.

“I think for most of our residents the existing ones are suitable. Having (W.O. Stin-son and Son) nearby is great, it’s a local company. And Esso is not too far,” she said, noting that most Findlay Creek resi-dents commute north instead of south.

Even for Greely residents, the MacEwen station at Albion Road and the two farther north on Bank Street could be suf-

fi cient for the area, although Thompson said it’s up to the market to decide if a new sta-tion will be successful.

“Those gas stations are more than just gas, they’re convenient stores, too. Wheth-er they should have one there or not is really not the ques-tion. It’s allowed to be there,” Thompson said. He added that the area around Bank and Rideau will see some com-mercial development in the next few years, and the road will likely be widened to four lanes down to Rideau.

“There’s an anticipation that you’ll have as much or more vehicle traffi c on that stretch of road,” he said.

Comments on the proposal will be received until March 23 and a decision will be made in April.

To comment call 613-580-2424 ext 16187 or email [email protected].

His height and his hometown suggest a young man built for the hardwood game.

But big Ben Bishop III, a product of St. Louis, Missouri — a state situated in the middle of America’s heartland, between basketball-mad Kansas and Kentucky — never really gave the sport much of a thought. The great Canadian game, you see, had won his heart long before he grew to his current 6-7 stature.

“(Hockey) was the same season as basketball,” the 25-year-old Bishop said in answering a question he no doubt heard plenty of times as he grew up on the ice, far away from the court. “I always preferred playing hockey instead.”

Funny thing is, there is no real history of hockey in the Bishop family. His grandfather — the original Ben Bishop — is a former tennis pro “who played in a couple of U.S. Opens.” And his father, Ben Jr., and mother, Cindy, have

no real connection with the game in their past. Neither can take credit for his size, either: mom is 5-3, dad is 6-1, though Cindy has brothers in the 6-5 range.

Blame the St. Louis Blues for steering the youngest Bishop down the path he eventually wound up taking — one which has led him to his current opportunity tending goal for the Ottawa Senators.

“I remember I went to a Blues game when I was young and I told my dad I wanted to do that,” said Bishop. “So he signed me up for skating lessons ... I started playing when I was four and I just kind of stuck with it, so here I am now.”

Bishop, who played minor hockey for both the Kirkwood Stars and St. Louis Jr. Blues, started out as a forward — ironically, the position he’d be best suited for had he chosen hoops over hockey. But at eight years old, he got thrown between the pipes and he’s been a goaltender ever since. Now Bishop is the tallest one in National Hockey League

history.Naturally, playing for his

hometown team was a lifelongdream — one the Blues made come true when they selected Bishop in the third round (85th overall) of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. It truly became reality on Oct. 24, 2008, when he made his NHL debut in St. Louis coloursagainst the Los Angeles Kings(“probably the most nervousI’ve ever been,” said Bishop).

But after spending the bulk of the last four seasonswith the Peoria Riverman, the Blues’ American Hockey League affiliate, Bishopknew it was time for a bigger opportunity. And when Senators starter Craig Anderson went down with aright hand injury suffered ina kitchen accident two weeks ago, a door opened for him — one that he’s happily stepped through — when Senators general manager Bryan Murray sent a 2013 second-round draft pick to St. Louis to shore up the organization’s goaltending depth.

“I’m over it,” Bishop saidof turning the page on hisbiggest hockey dream. “I had my chance and (the Blues) had a chance to sign me thisyear if they wanted to, but we kind of went our separateways. There’s no hard feelings at all. There’s an opportunity for me here, so it was kind ofeasy to leave.”

The words Bishop spokeon the day of the Feb. 26deal that sent him to Ottawasum up his sentiment as he embarks on the next chapter of his hockey life.

“Ottawa’s a great hockey city and it’s a great, freshstart for me,” said Bishop, who lost a training camp battle to former Senators netminder Brian Elliott forthe backup job in St. Louis behind Jaroslav Halak. “I’m really excited. Words cannotdescribe how excited I amright now.”

Door opens for Bishop to shine with Sens

TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

NEW JERSEY DEVILS

Saturday, March 17, 7 p.m.,CBC

With their playoff hopes fading, the Leafs sacked coach Ron Wilson two weeks ago and replaced him with Randy Carlyle, who guided the Anaheim Ducks to a Stanley Cup crown in 2007. If Carlyle is to turn the tide, he’ll need continued high offensive production from Toronto’s two top guns, Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul. Also a key component to the attack is Mikhail Grabovski, who recently inked a new five-year contract with the Leafs. Jake

Gardiner offers bright hope for the future on the Toronto blue line, which is led by captain Dion Phaneuf. In goal, Toronto needs either Jonas Gustavsson or James Reimer to step up in a big way down the stretch.

Tuesday, March 20, 7:30 p.m.,Sportsnet East

After seeing a lengthy run of playoff participation end a year ago, the Devils seem poised to make their way back into the post-season. Up front, everything revolves around Ilya Kovalchuk, Zach Parise and veteran Patrik Elias, a dynamic trio that forms the core of the New Jersey attack. Centre Adam Henrique is one of two rookies making a major impact for the Devils this season — Swedish defenceman Adam Larsson is the other — with

Henrique’s efforts making him a prime Calder Trophy candidate. Trade deadline acquisition Marek Zidlicky adds some offensive punch to the New Jersey blue line, which also features the likes of Andy Greene and Anton Volchenkov. The ageless Martin Brodeur carries the bulk of the goaltending load.

Notice of Public Open HouseJockvale Road Widening Project

Project Limits and Scope The City of Ottawa is undertaking the design for the widening of Jockvale Road. The project will result in the detailed design to enable the complete reconstruction of a portion of Jockvale Road between Paul Metivier Drive and Cambrian Road to a four lane arterial road standard. This includes a roundabout at Jockvale Road and Cambrian Road, sidewalks, multi-use paths, cycling lanes, turning lanes and a median. Two new bridges will replace the existing Jock River bridge, water and gas mains will be relocated at the Jock River and a storm sewer system south of the Jock River will be installed.

The design will be completed following the Public Open House and ready for construction in the Spring 2012.

Public Involvement and Public Open House

The project is being planned according to the Jockvale Road Environmental Assessment (EA) Study completed in January 2009.An earlier Public Open House was held in June 2010 and general public input and comments are welcome throughout the project process. At this time you are invited to attend a Public Open House:

Tuesday, March 20, 2012 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm AtriumSt. Joseph High School 3333 Greenbank Road, Ottawa

At the meeting, design plans for the widening of Jockvale Road will be displayed. City Staff and their consultants will be available to answer questions. This meeting will provide an opportunity for participants to learn about the project and to provide comments in a casual environment. Comment/questionnaire forms will be provided for written comments.

EMC news - Rising costs at National Capital Commission parks have forced organiz-ers of the 60th annual Tulip festival to move away from Major’s Hill Park and Com-missioner’s Park.

One million tulips will dec-orate the two NCC parks, but all programming and events associated with the festival will now be scattered around the city, the organization an-nounced on March 5.

The festival’s chair and fi -nancial patron David Luxton said the move is the result of rising costs to stage the events on NCC parkland.

“Costs have been escalat-ing quite dramatically and eat up the cash budget of the fes-tival,” Luxton said. “The fes-tival tries to put all the money (in the budget) into program-ming.”

The increases are tied to the fees the NCC charges for park clean up. Last year the festi-val paid $44,000 to clean up – $9,000 more than the festival had originally budgeted for.

“The main issues are we never know what the costs will be,” Luxton said. “It is a tough way to run any business

and the costs have been going up every year.”

While it is exempt from paying rent on the parkland itself, according to NCC spokesperson Jean Wolfe the festival does need to pay for it to be tidied up after the 17-day event.

Wolfe said factors for the cost of clean up are deter-mined by the duration of the festival, the size of its foot-print and weather conditions.

News of the move, Wolfe said, came as a shock to the organization.

“We did receive today offi -cial notifi cation that the festi-val will move,” Wolfe said in an interview on March 5. “It was a surprise to us when we heard, but we expect our rela-tionship with the festival will continue and there will be one million tulips to exhibit in all NCC parks.”

Luxton said he does not feel this move will be a bad thing. He believes this will allow the festival to grow into an event that could animate the entire city.

“Much like the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washing-ton, where there are activities and pageantry everywhere in the city, we are hoping our

festival can emulate that,” he said.

Luxton said the Chinatown BIA, the ByWard Market and Sparks Street BIA are all keen to participate in festival’s new direction.

“I think this is good for the festival and good for the city,” he said.

Tulips have been donated to Canada by the Dutch royal family since 1945, as a thank you for hosting Dutch Prin-cess Juliana and her daughters in exile during the occupation of the Netherlands during the Second World War and for Canada’s role in the liberation of their country.

Each year the Netherlands sends 20,000 bulbs. This year’s festival will run from May 4 to 20 and will still host music, dance and culinary events.

You pick up the telephone and there’s that little pause. If you are alert you hang up right then, but who’s alert? Besides, you may have a relative,

very old or very young, who waits a bit before saying anything.

So you hold the phone and a stranger begins talking to you. It might be a real person or it might be a computerized person. How you deal with it varies. Some politely decline: “Thanks, but I’m not interested,” they say. Others quietly hang up. Others loudly hang up. And still oth-ers say words that they shouldn’t.

This is the world of telemarketing, a world we haven’t quite put behind us, despite the cre-ation, in 2008, of the national Do Not Call List. How that is working is a bit hard to tell. About 10 million Canadians are involved in the Do Not Call List. An opinion survey done in 2010 found that a great majority thought they were receiving fewer junk calls since the registry was created. But more than one in 10 thought they were getting more calls. If you check the comments section of any Internet news story about the list you will find those people amply represented, hopping mad.

(To make matters worse, or more farcical, depending on how you look at it, there are con-cerns now that the Do Not Call List is in danger of running out of funding. Great: it doesn’t work and there’s no money for it.)

To this unpleasant mix, we add the political robocall, subject of current scandal and contro-versy. Here, a computer dials your telephone in the middle of an election campaign and gives you false information about where to vote.

Or it pretends to be a particular candidate and says annoying things. Or it pretends to be a particular candidate and phones you at three in the morning, so as to make you angry enough to vote for the other guy.

Given the way politics works, it may take years to get to the bottom of this, find out who’s responsible, hand out punishment and take corrective action.

And what would that corrective action be? Legislation preventing political parties from fighting dirty? It is to laugh. A ban on political robocalls? That’s closer, but it could result in a rash of sort-of-non-political robocalls.

The only practical answer is to ban all robocalls. Who would be hurt by that? Not consumers. Not legitimate charities, pollsters and others now allowed to bypass the Do Not Call List. Probably not even political parties, al-though they might have to work a little harder.

They might have to hire live people, thus creating employment. Much as we may hate to be telephoned at home by strangers, the people who do the actual calling are human beings, trying to make a living in one of the most un-pleasant ways possible, reading aloud a script that begins: “How are you today?” to people who don’t want to hear it. Most of us know someone who, while looking for permanent employment, has done telemarketing work. So we can sympathize – a bit.

The robocall, in addition to its many other annoying qualities, destroys jobs. In that, it has something in common with other present-day institutions, such as the robo parking lot, the robo airline check-in counter and the robo gov-ernment department switchboard. Think of how we could make unemployment drop by putting human beings back into jobs they used to do.

It is difficult to imagine any negative fallout from banning robocalls, aside from its impact on robocalling companies. True, we may not be able to shut down what offshore companies do, but we can at least make the phone ring a bit less and encourage political parties to tell the truth over the phone – or, if they’re going to lie, at least not let a machine do it for them.

Time to hang up on robocalls

A protest at Britannia Beach on March 7 calling on the federal government

to get behind the Ottawa River Action Plan protest missed its mark.

While it’s admirable that Ecology Ottawa wants something done about the 400 million litres of untreated sew-age that makes its way into the water ever year after heavy rainfalls, the city really needs a two-part plan.

The city’s strategy is to implement real-time controls that have remote activation and can reduce sewage over-flows as they occur.

It would also build massive underground storage tanks, which would stretch 16 kilo-metres long and three metres wide. The tanks would cost the city $150 million.

Controlling sewage overflows is important, but everyone seems to be ignoring the elephant in the room.

According to a tweet by chair of the city’s environment committee on March 8, the 93,000 dogs in Ottawa pro-duce about 20,500 kilograms of waste per day. Not all of that gets picked up.

That’s a lot of crap we could cut.

Dog feces that is left on sidewalks and in parks eventually ends up in the Ot-tawa River. It’s carried there by spring run off and heavy rainfalls, via storm sewers and

creeks. Each storm is like a giant dog feces flush.

Last summer, Ottawa beaches were closed almost 40 per cent of the time, with no-swim advisories being is-sued 127 times.

That suggests that there is more at play than human sew-age overflow.

Whether it is geese, seagull or dog waste, it seems like there is a lot being left out of the action plan for the river.

If the city only chooses to

focus on the human waste part of equation, then we could end up flushing a lot of money down the drain as we control the sewage overflows but still have beach closures due to pet waste.

Beach closures are frustrat-ing and are a common prob-lem in this city, but that won’t be fixed with an expensive proposal that only looks to one part of the problem.

The good news is that good, old-fashioned civic

engagement can help. If we all work to clean up

after our pets we can reduce the amount of waste seeping into the river after rainfalls. It’s a part of the solution that doesn’t require millions of dollars of funding from any level of government.

Solutions deserve more consideration. While manag-ing sewage overflows is necessary, residents also have to do their part to keep our waterways clean.

Maybe you like the traditional grilled cheese sandwich:

cheese between slices of bread, buttered, and browned in a frying pan. Or maybe you prefer yours with a bit of ham added, or with slices of apple or tomato.

Whatever your preference, here’s another version of a grilled cheese sandwich that may become a family favou-rite once you try it.

Instead of sliced bread, each sandwich is made with a tortilla. Diced onion, thin slices of fresh mushrooms and tomato, and basil are ar-ranged on half of the tortilla.

Two types of grated cheese are used – mozarella and cheddar. Once it’s ready, the tortilla is folded over, and browned on both sides.

This is very quick and easy to prepare either as lunch or a snack.

The quantities below will make three large sandwiches, but they can easily be in-creased for more.

CHEESE QUESIDILLAS

3 large 10-inch � our tortillas3 fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced

2 slices onion, � nely diced (red on-ion is good for � avour and colour)1 medium tomato, thinly sliced1/2 tsp. dried basilblack pepper to taste3/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese1/4 cup grated medium cheddar cheese

Heat a large frying pan or griddle to medium heat. Spray with cooking oil spray, or lightly brush with veg-etable oil.

Lay a fl our tortilla on a large plate. It helps if you fold the tortilla in half before you start, then unfold it again. This leaves a slight crease along the center line of the tortilla, so it’s easy to make out one half of the circle.

You’ll arrange ingredi-ents on the tortilla so they cover half of the circle. When you’ve fi nished adding the ingredients, you’ll fold the

uncovered half of the tortilla over them.

Arrange one third of the sliced mushrooms, diced onion, sliced tomato and basil on half of the tortilla.

Sprinkle with pepper if you wish. No salt is needed. Scatter one third of the mozzarella and one third of the cheddar cheese over the sliced tomato.Fold the uncovered half of the tortilla over the cheese and tomatoes. Press down with your hands to fl atten it slightly. Repeat with the other two tortillas.

Place the tortillas in the heated pan. You may have to cook these one at a time. Cook one side for two to three minutes, or until the bottom is lightly browned. With a large spatula, carefully turn over the tortilla.

Cook the second side for two to three minutes.

Makes three servings.

Mary has an excellent St. Pat’s day

Even if you were born in Germany, or Scotland for that matter, if you

lived in Northcote, you cel-ebrated St. Patrick’s Day.

Of course, if you were Irish, all the better.

Mother, who claimed to have a touch of Irish in her blood, took St. Patrick’s Day seriously, which Father thought was nonsense.

He was one of the few in Northcote who had no inten-tion of celebrating the day. It was just another day in the week as far as he was con-cerned and he didn’t think much of Mother’s getting all riled up.

But Mother celebrated ev-ery holiday, right from St. John Batiste Day to Robbie Burns Day, and St. Patrick’s Day was no exception.

And so one year Mother had me all decked out for this special day at Northcote School.

My older sister Audrey and three brothers, after practi-cally being laughed out of the place in past years with their bright green shirts, flatly re-fused to wear anything but the usual plaid shirts and overalls they wore every day.

Mother took a blouse I had worn many times which had been fashioned out of flour bags, and dyed it green.

It simmered on the back

of the Findlay Oval for most of a day in dye bought from Ritza’s Drug Store.

It was sure green, even af-ter she rinsed it several times in cold water.

Back then, everything was starched within an inch of its life and on St. Patrick’s Day I went off to the Northcote School with the bright green blouse as stiff as a board un-der my coat.

Those in Senior Fourth, of course, wouldn’t stoop to wearing green in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day.

Wearing green was re-served for those of us in the lower grades.

I felt pretty Irish that day, but it didn’t take me long to discover that my school rival, Marguerite, had outdone me by a country mile.

She must have gotten out of bed with the chickens, be-cause she looked like she had been at school for hours.

She was already settled in her seat when I got there, which was very unusual for Marguerite who liked to

breeze in just as Miss Crosby was ringing the bell.

She loved a big entrance.But there she was in green

from head to toe. The wide sat-in ribbon in her hair matched the one at her waist.

Her dress, like my blouse, was starched as stiff as a nurse’s bib.

The dress was made of or-ganza, just like something you would see in the ads in the Philadelphia Enquirer.

Her mother had even dyed her white cotton stockings and for this special occasion, she was wearing her Sunday black patent leather shoes.

I was suddenly very con-scious of my flour bag blouse, but the last thing I wanted to do was let on to Marguerite that I was jealous of her St. Patrick’s Day attire.

Now, every morning after we were all seated, Margue-rite took it upon herself to close the storm door securely. She was never asked to do this chore and I thought it was eas-ier for Miss Crosby to just let her do it than argue with the

young tyrant who was a force to be reckoned with at the best of times.

She would bounce back to her seat and Miss Crosby, with a deep sigh would say “thank you Marguerite,” who would purr “you’re welcome, Miss Crosby.” It was enough to make you sick.

Well, that St. Patrick’s Day was no exception.

She slammed the outside storm door, then bang went the inside one, down went the lock and then she turned and bounded for her seat.

Unfortunately for her, her dress didn’t go with her.

You could hear the rip all over the school and there stood Marguerite standing with the bodice of the dress in tack and the skirt firmly an-chored in the door jam.

I suppose it would have been Christian of me to feel sorry for her with, but I con-fess I felt nothing of the sort.

Miss Crosby took her into the cloak room at the back of the school and eventually they emerged with Marguerite wrapped in two large pinny aprons reserved for the days when the pupils cleaned the school from top to bottom.

One apron covered her front, and the other her back.

And there she sat for the rest of the day. She wouldn’t even budge to get her lunch from the table at the back of the room. It had to be fetched for her.

When I got home from school that night Mother asked me about the day.

“I think it was the best St. Patrick’s Day I ever had,” was my reply. I was grateful Mother didn’t ask for an ex-planation.

EMC news - In an effort to end homelessness, Ottawa students will be giving up their warm beds and hot din-ners to live on the street for five days.

The 5 Days For The Homeless campaign begins on March 11 and runs until March 16. Participants from the University of Ottawa and Carleton University will spend five days in the cold with only a sleeping bag, pil-low and the clothes on their back to keep them warm. Food will come sporadically, if at all, and showering is not an option. And they are all doing this to raise aware-ness and money to help stop homelessness in Canada.

“Homeless individuals have become accessories to our urban environment,” Kristina Partsinevelos, na-tional team chair said. “We are trying to get people to stop and notice.”

Pan-handling will be their fundraising means of support and to date the Canadian-

wide organization has raised $747,000. The 5 Days cam-paign started in 2005 at Al-berta’s School of Business. In 2011, 22 campuses across Canada participated raising $220,000 nationwide.

This will be Partsinevelos’ fifth year participating in the event and her first time par-ticipating at Carleton. Used to the downtown location in Montreal for the previous four years, Partsinevelos did note campaigning on a closed campus such as Carleton will be more difficult but she’s looking forward to people coming out.

“If there are people who want to come out and partici-pate, they are welcome, even if it is just for the day,” Part-sinevelos said. “Come out and help us raise money.”

There are rules to partici-pating and that can prove to be difficult, but the support of the other team members and the overall message keeps them going, she said.

The money raised in Otta-wa will be used locally. The team’s goal is $12,500.

File photoCarleton students, pictured here in 2011’s campaign, are braving the elements again this year to help raise aware-ness for homelessness.

EMC sports – Bright pink boas, balloons and headbands were the height of fashion at the Manotick Curling Centre on Saturday, March 3 when 12 teams curled in support of breast cancer patients.

The second annual Perky in Pink – Curling for a Cause event raised more than $3,000 for Breast Cancer Action Ot-tawa, a local charity that sup-ports women and families dealing with breast cancer.

Apart from the curling, the annual Invitation Women’s Bonspiel included raffles and other fundraising activities sponsored by a long list of lo-cal businesses.

Ontario junior skip Jamie Sinclair also ran a spa centre so “people got a chance to get their nails done up fancily,” said event organizer Denise Bellingham.

Teams from across the re-gion took part, including a team from Kingston.

Although the invitational bonspiel has been going on for years, this is the second year the women’s event has been turned into a fundraiser. Bellingham said they chose Breast Cancer Action Ottawa for a number of reasons.

“One of our members has used their services and is a breast cancer survivor, and I personally had a friend who used their services,” Belling-

ham said. “Also they’re local, and we wanted to help a very locally focused organization.”

Breast Cancer Action Ot-tawa is “a survivor-directed, voluntary organization that supports breast cancer pa-tients and their families,” ac-cording to the website. It was

founded in 1992 by a group of women who “knew first-hand the meaning of a breast cancer diagnosis.”

The centre on Prince of Wales Drive in Hog’s Back offers healthy living activi-ties, educational resources and peer-to-peer support for

families dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis and under-going treatment.

Executive director Karen Graszat said the event was “awesome” – made even bet-ter by the creative costumes sported by each team.

“Some of them were re-ally amazing,” she said, not-ing that one in particular stole the show with each woman wearing a strategically placed boa and balloon, so that when pairs stood together they formed a bra.

The event’s spirit award

went to “Chicks with Sticks” or Team Gibbard from the Na-van Curling Club, who wore pink tartan skirts and flashy hand-made fascinators with little chicks perched on top.

Team Sinclair from the Rideau Curling Club won the tournament.

Graszat said the $3,000 raised will pay for as many as four 12-week fitness sessions, granting 15 women each ses-sion access to yoga, tai chi, stretch and strength programs and other classes designed specifically for women fight-

ing breast cancer. “These events are huge in

terms of supporting our pro-grams,” Graszat said.

The centre will celebrate its 20th anniversary in April with Mayor Jim Watson declaring April 5 Breast Cancer Action Day in Ottawa.

“We’re really seriously hoping that someday we can close our doors, but that won’t happen any time soon,” Graszat said.

The Rescue and Investigation Services (RIS) team at the Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) has trained OSPCA agents and in-spectors who investigate suspected cases of animal cruelty or neglect.

Inthese cases, , the animals concerned may be removed from the owner’s prem-ises if they are in immediate distress. Agents or inspectors adhere to regula-tions under the Ontario Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) Act.

These agents may also lay charges where willful neglect or abuse can be proven. Charges are laid under the Crimi-

nal Code of Canada, primarily sections 444 through 447, or the OSPCA Act.

Distress as defi ned in the OSPCA Act:“Distress” means the state of being in

need of proper care, water, food or shel-ter; or being injured, sick or in pain, or suffering; or being abused or subject to undue or unnecessary hardship, privation or neglect.

In the OHS 2010-11 fi scal year, the RIS team logged 1,197 investigations and laid 33 charges of animal abuse and cruelty under the Criminal Code of Canada or the OSPCA Act.

In the same time frame, the OHS re-

ceived more than 1,500 emergency calls from members of the community.

The Provincial Animal Welfare (PAW) Act changes occurred in March 2009 and toughened the Ontario SPCA Act, creat-ing new provincial offenses and imposing stiffer penalties for those convicted of animal abuse.

Although legally mandated to en-force the animal cruelty provisions of the Criminal Code of Canada, the OHS does not receive any government funding, or funding from any animal welfare group, and relies on donations to perform this essential work.

A full report will be writ-ten in the fall outlining what has changed along the river since the heritage designation was granted in 2007, and con-firming the cultural value the river and its tributaries hold for nearby communities and residents.

“The Rideau Canal doesn’t just run through our munici-palities, its part of our com-munities. And that’s really important. It’s ours to share, to embrace, to look at some of the values that are important

to us,” Struthers said.The strategy’s steering

committee includes represen-tatives from 13 municipali-ties along the Rideau, three counties, the National Capital Commission, Parks Canada, two conservation authori-ties, six First Nations repre-sentatives and the province, Struthers said.

For the purposes of the study, the corridor has been divided into four geographic sectors based on geology, cul-tural aspects and natural fea-tures.

The first sector is Rideau

Canal: Ottawa, which includes everything in and along the canal from the Ottawa River to the Hog’s Back lock sta-tion. The approximately 8.4 kilometre section is a highly urban area, with many historic buildings, parks and civic ar-eas along the waterway.

The second sector encom-passes the Rideau River from Hog’s Back lock station to Newboro, with several sub-sectors inside. The sector in-cludes a mix of agricultural lands and intense shoreline de-velopment, and runs through Burritt’s Rapids, Merrickville,

Smiths Falls and Westport. The third sector covers the

Tay Canal and extends into the Perth and its wildlife re-serve through the constructed Tay Canal and Tay River.

The last sector runs from Newboro to Kingston, with subsectors splitting the re-gion at Whitefish Lake, Little Cranberry Lake, River Styx and Kingston Mills lock.

For more information or to provide feedback on the study, visit www.rcls-sacr.ca or con-tact Parks Canada 613-283-5170 and [email protected].

EMC news - A new festi-val promising a celebration of bluegrass, roots and folk music will be coming to Cen-tretown on April 28.

The Ottawa Grassroots Festival will hold its fi rst of what organizers said will be an annual event at the Mont-gomery Legion Hall on Kent Street. The festival will offer free events during the after-noon and a ticketed evening concert.

Bob Nesbitt, longtime site manager of the Ottawa Folk Festival, said the inspiration for the festival came from the backyard barbecues he would

host at his home after the folk festival had wrapped up.

“My barbecues were a way to say thank you to the crew.” Nesbitt said. “The party just kept growing with more and more people coming. The idea of the festival grew from that.”

The festival will host a number of Ottawa folk, blue-grass and roots musicians with a free workshops and concerts during the day. The main concert’s lineup includes folk musicians Missy Burgess and Rick Fines with aborigi-nal spiritual advisor and poet Albert Dumont opening the evening.

Nesbitt held the offi cial

launch of the festival on March 7 at Pressed, a sandwich bar on Gladstone Avenue. Orga-nizers and performers fi led into the restaurant while the Bytown Ukulele Group ser-enaded them with tunes.

The festival’s goal is to offer a community-focused event that brings together mu-sic fans and musicians alike. Nesbitt said it is also to pro-mote folk music in a family-fun environment.

Garry Greenland, bluegrass performer and member of the band Maple Hill, will be par-ticipating in a free afternoon event about how to build your own band.

Greenland performed a

number at the launch, remark-ing that it felt odd being all alone on stage. Burgess also preformed, singing a sultry song she claimed was Nes-bitt’s favourite.

Nesbitt said getting key musicians such as Fines took some extra effort, but in the end paid off.

“I wanted musicians who were entertainers too, and with Missy (Burgess) and Rick (Fines) they are fantastic performers,” he said.

Nesbitt said he was sur-prised by the amount of help and enthusiasm he has had from his friends and col-leagues.

“I honestly can’t believe

how many people are so into this.” he said. “And they are helping in ways I never thought could happen.”

The launch brought togeth-er old friends and family who celebrated what they called a new time for roots music to thrive in Ottawa.

Nesbitt added the fact that it is happening at all has made it possible for the event to be-come an annual event, with hopes of making it a two-day event in the future.

Tickets are available at Pressed at 750 Gladstone for $25 and $35. The free events run from noon to 5 p.m. For more information visit ot-tawagrassrootsfestival.com.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fun By The Numbers

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

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

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, even though your intentions are good, be careful with words this week. Rely on your actions and not just your words to convey the message.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, you are absolutely sure your work week will go your way. Considering you weigh all the facts in decisions, there’s a strong chance you’ll be right.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you are tempted to bend the truth a little this week. Be careful what you wish for, as it might be hard to recover a sense of trust if your actions are discovered.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, adjust your way of thinking to be more flexible. You should not always operate on a rigid schedule, but be more receptive to changes. Check with friends; see what they think.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, you are aware of what lies ahead, but you’re not eager to jump in and get started on the tasks that need your attention. Develop a plan and things will work out.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, your confidence returns this week but you are still treading carefully so as not to be disappointed later on. Trust in yourself and you likely won’t be disappointed.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Establishing a balance between humility and self-confidence is the key to being a well-rounded person, Libra. Therefore, don’t take the power of positive thinking to the extreme.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, although you are not overly excited about plans for the near future, you are capable of balancing fantasy with reality. Things will work out for the best.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, this week you realize that you don’t have as many answers as you thought you had. You can look for other answers by being in touch with friends and family.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Use this week as a time for renewal, Capricorn.Set lofty goals because this will serve as a challenge in order for you to really shine -- and you thrive on challenges.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, you may get caught up in your emotions about a certain person in your life. Take a step back and you’ll realize there’s no reason to get so excited.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, once you start focusing on what you want to do next, you find you have the motivation to get anything accomplished.
