EMC news - An effort to strike a balance between pro-tecting community charac-ter and maintaining property owners’ rights in Old Ottawa South will set the stage for zoning reviews across the city.

The fi rst two projects for the city’s new zoning consistency team will be used as a test case to set the direction for a review

of infi ll homes in the city’s urban neighbourhoods, set to kick off next month, said city planner Alain Miguelez, the program manager of intensifi -cation and zoning.

In Old Ottawa South, a con-tentious plan to rezone a prop-erty at 9 Rosedale Ave. sparked a need to look at what types of buildings should be allowed to be constructed along the Ride-au Canal between Bank Street and Bronson Avenue.

Infi ll is now a signifi cant

trend and a “happy predica-ment” for the city, Miguelez said. The zoning reviews for Colonel By Drive and a sec-ond pilot project review of three properties on Green-bank Road will help the city’s planning department frame how it tackles the issues on a larger scale as part of the Phase 2 infi ll study, Miguelez said.

When it comes to Colo-nel By, a planning consultant found it wouldn’t do much

good to downzone the area to allow less density or fewer types of homes.

Instead, a planning consul-tant hired by the city is recom-mending keeping the zoning but adding a height limit and a restrictive heritage overlay, which requires homes to be built in a compatible man-ner if they are demolished or destroyed by something like fi re.

NCC names bridge corridorCommunity strongly opposes NCC choice for east-end bridgeMichelle [email protected]

EMC news - Kettle Island has been named the techni-cally preferred option for an new east-end interprovincial bridge.

“This bridge is the most centralized in terms of where people are going, in terms of current land uses and development along that corridor,” said Eric Peissel, an engineering consultant for Roche-Genivar Joint Venture.

“Once again, this proj-ect has been ear-marked for quite some time by both sides and therefore properties and right of ways have already been preserved and doesn’t require extensive purchase of new properties and (be-cause) of course costs of this corridor being the least ex-pensive.”

Hired by the National Capital Commission to es-tablish which of the three locations would be the best option for a new interprovin-cial crossing, Roche-Geni-var has been undertaking an environmental assessment for the past two years, hold-ing public consultations, open houses, online com-ment forms and round table discussions to capture resi-dents comments about a new crossing.

EMC news - Fourteen years ago, a girl named Rachel Scott was sitting on the grass out front of her school when two boys approached her and shot her fi ve times. She didn’t know it at the time, but her life and death would help create a positive chain re-action all the way to Ottawa.

Scott died on the grass in front of Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. She was the fi rst of 13 students killed during the massacre.

A popular and friendly girl, Scott always reached out to other students and friends in need, but it was not un-til her death that her infl uence on her town, her country and now the world has spread all the way to the students at two schools in Ottawa.

Before she died, Scott had written an essay on how people should treat other people. Her father found her writing and deciding to share it with the world, creating Rachel’s Chal-lenge, a program about how to stop bullying.

Ridgemont High School teacher, Toula Makris heard about the program and decided Scott’s message was im-portant to share with her students and the students at another local school, Rideau High School.

“I thought it was a really important to bring this message to the kids,” Makris said. “And the kids have been so impacted by this presentation.”

Kristy Krings of Rachel’s Chal-lenge came to both schools during the week of May 13 to tell Scott’s story and to present the anti-bullying pro-gram.

“Right now in your schools, in your community, there are people who are going through things and a simple act of kindness can change that,” Krings said.

The program is about fi ve chal-lenges: change how you feel about others, dream big and write down those dreams, choose positive infl u-ences, speak with kindness, and re-mind those you love how special they are.

The challenges are simple at heart and Krings explained this is why Scott believed creating positive change in the world was possible.

According to Makris and Rideau’s school guidance counselor, Wendy Lamble, the students reacted well to

the challenges. “Students you wouldn’t think

would even care were emotional and wiping away tears throughout the as-sembly,” Makris said.

Between the two schools 200 stu-dents participated in the program and workshops. Krings said she couldn’t believe how enthusiastic and how much the students at the school em-braced the challenges.

“I have rarely felt so welcome, but this community has been amazing, the students have been amazing and I have had a great time working with the kids,” she said.

Krings said Scott’s message can reach out to all ages and the impor-tant thing to remember is anyone can change the world or make a positive impact on someone else’s life.

Scott, Krings explained was always reaching out to others and after she died, these individuals reached out to her family to tell how important their daughter was. It was these stories, Scott’s writings, poems and drawings and the images from that horrifi c day at Columbine High that make up the presentation of Rachel’s Challenge.

Although the students who Krings presents to these days may have been

very young or not even alive when the killings at Columbine took place, Krings said each student still manages to relate to the story.

“For most students Columbine is a big shock, they were babies when it happened,” Krings said. “But it’s a

story about a real person and that is what I think resonates with them.”

Lamble said her students will be taking what they learned in the workshops and applying it to school events, assemblies and other already-organized school clubs.

Ridgemont, Rideau want to start kindness chain reaction


Toula Makris and Kristi Krings take a moment after a Rachel’s Challenge presentation at Ridgemont High School on May 14.


EMC news - The Ottawa Public Library wants people to peek into a crystal ball and imagine what the library should look like in the fu-

ture.Notably, the library wants to know

what it should stop doing – not just new things it should take on.

The central questions posed in the online survey – the fi rst phase of the public engagement process – ask

what the library should continue do-ing, what should it start doing and what should it stop doing in the next fi ve years.

“We know that we are changing,” said Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, chairwoman of the Ottawa Public Library board.

“We are not currently delivering library services in the best way,” she said.

The campaign is online at imagine-opl-bpo.ca now and will be open for public comment until June 15.

Those who participate will be eli-gible to win an iPad.

People can post ideas and vote on other people’s ideas. A day after the campaign launched the top idea, speed-dating for volunteer opportu-nities, had already received almost 250 “likes.”

While discussing the possibility of closing library branches is politi-cally unpopular, it might be time to re-open that debate, Harder said.

“Do we continue to support and sustain our 33 branches and our Bookmobile?” Harder said.

“Or do we look at other opportu-nities that people may suggest and they may say will serve them just as well.

“Is that the best use of the taxpay-ers’ money?” she added.

Adding user-pay programs to the library’s repertoire should also be considered, Harder said.

“I am not afraid to start charging for some stuff,” she said.

“Right now it’s a free ride at the library and I don’t think that it needs to be.

“I’m not looking to make money, but I don’t think we should be hin-dered from being relevant by not wanting to charge someone $25 for having something unique that peo-ple want,” Harder said.

Harder said she’d like to see the libraries have more fl exible space. She suggested putting the shelves on wheels so they could be moved around and the space repurposed to offer more programs.

“So the space that you’re using isn’t necessarily a large amount, but it is vibrant, vital and mobile,” Harder said.

Reducing the size of reference sections and instead focusing on helping people fi nd the information in new ways should also be a prior-ity, Harder said.

“We’ve got a big job ahead of us. We do want to make sure we’re staying relevant,” she said.

Library chief executive offi cer Danielle MacDonald said she want-ed to undertake the consultation “primarily because it makes good sense to connect with our custom-ers.”

But the library also wants to hear from people who don’t use the li-brary about why, and what might make them begin accessing library services in person or online.

“We know there are new oppor-tunities but we also know there are choices,” MacDonald said.

The consultation will set the di-rection for an update to the library’s strategic plan that should take form early next year.

It will be the fi rst time the library has done a major overhaul of its master plan since the city amalgam-ated.

EMC news - While some onlook-ers might only see marathon racers stretching their limbs before the big race, there will be a group of nine men also stretching in preparation for a dif-ferent kind of marathon.

During the Ottawa Race Weekend marathon, the Heritage Hands Ottawa Drum Club will be performing for a total of four hours on May 24 to en-courage the more than 10,000 racers across the fi nish line.

“We will be drumming until every last runner or straggler has crossed the line,” said Michel Monette, co-found-er of the club. “We won’t leave until everyone else is gone.”

Monette and longtime friend Charles St-Jean have been drumming most of their lives, starting together in

the De La Salle Cadets when the two were only 15 years-old and lived next to each other in Lowertown. In 1998, St-Jean brought some of the old drum-mers together for a reunion and since that meeting the group has been play-ing at shows and for fun in the Ottawa area.

“It’s passion and friendship that keep us together,” St-Jean said.

The group average age is 60, which the men joke is why they will be stretching too before the marathon.

“It’s physically demanding,” said Armand Vienneau, a drummer in the group. “It can take a lot out of you.”

The group performs both old his-toric military rhythms and new songs they composed together.

The only drumming club of its kind in Ottawa, members from all across the city come to play with the group.

Passionate about drumming, the

club members say they perform more for the enjoyment than for money these days, taking gigs where they can get them.

“It’s the rush,” Monette said. The group used to play before foot-

ball games at Lansdowne Park and said they loved performing in front large crowds, but say their most enjoy-able audience members are children.

“They just surround us when we play,” Vienneau said.

Even though there are nine mem-bers in the group, the men say they are always looking for more experienced drummers to join.

“We are not getting any younger,” St-Jean said.

The troop will be performing by the War Museum from 7 to 11 a.m. on May 24. For more information about the group, please visit www.heritage-handsottawa.ca.

EMC news - A previously dis-missed plan to move a clutch of heritage homes along Sussex Drive in order to save them from being de-molished as part of a road widening is back on the books.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury confi rmed the city is in talks with the National Capital Commis-sion to move two homes and row-house along a curved section of Sus-sex between Cathcart and Bolton streets back away from the road to ensure they won’t have to be demol-ished when the road is widened over the next two years.

The city’s planning committee shocked even heritage advocates last October by unanimously rejecting a plan to demolish two heritage homes on Sussex Drive.

The houses, one of which was home to former governor general Adrianne Clarkson during her childhood, were

proposed to be demolished as part of a project to widen the road into a bou-levard to complete the NCC’s Mile of History section of the ceremonial Confederation Boulevard.

The plan to move the homes, which was previously rejected as too expen-sive, was kept under wraps until the NCC began informing tenants living in the three affected homes, Fleury said. “Even I’m in a bit of the dark on it,” he said.

Fleury said he asked to been briefed on the plans after he heard about it from residents and it is his un-derstanding that the NCC will make an application to the city’s planning committee to move the homes farther back on the lot, away from the street.

Members of the Lowertown Com-munity Association were frustrated by the lack of information during a meeting on May 13.

Deputy city manager Nancy Schep-ers and a group of city offi cials met with Aubin on May 16 to update him on the plans. The city has committed

to holding a special community meet-ing about local infrastructure projects – including Sussex – as soon as pos-sible, Fleury said. The plan is to pres-ent the proposal to move the homes to the built heritage subcommittee on June 13 and planning committee on June 25, according to Fleury.

An emailed statement from city spokesperson Andrea Ruttan that was attributed to building and construc-tion manager Ziad Ghadban said the city and NCC are working together to fi nalize the road’s design.

“The design and construction ap-proaches … will incorporate the on site relocation of the buildings at 273 and 275-279 Sussex Dr. The city and NCC staff will be coming forward with an application to secure the re-quired approvals to do so,” the email reads.

Aubin said the news is a “bitter-sweet victory” because the commu-nity fought hard for almost two years to save the homes. The NCC and city wasted a lot of time and resources be-

fore coming to a solution the commu-nity asked for all along, Aubin said.

Last fall, heritage advocates ques-tioned why the city and NCC didn’t recommend the option of moving the homes. The NCC’s project manager, Richard Daigneault, said that option was considered, but removing the buildings wouldn’t have a signifi cant enough impact to warrant the cost. The cost to move the buildings was estimated at about $1.15 million. The NCC argued the rents charged to ten-ants in the buildings were not high enough to recoup that cost within a reasonable timeframe.

The city and NCC will share the cost, but Fleury said the city will like-ly pay the majority of the cost to move the homes since the road widening is a city-initiated project.

Last fall, the transportation com-mittee approved the $30 million road project, which includes adding bicycle lanes in both directions and widening

the sidewalks by up to three metres. City staff said the construction project is needed to straighten out the curve and improve the road’s safety for both motorist and cyclists.

But that reasoning did resonate with members of the city’s planning committee, who roundly rejected the plan and called on staff and the NCC to come up with a more creative solu-tion. Council also rejected the demoli-tion on Oct. 24, 2012.

A spokesman for the NCC declined to talk about a potential plan to move its homes and deferred questions to the city.

“We are working together on this,” said NCC spokesman Jean Wolff. “At this point, the planning stage, there is no point in talking about the homes in particular.”

The project will go to tender by the end of May and construction should begin this summer and continue through next year.

City pursuing million-dollar plan to move Sussex homes

FILE

Lowertown residents protest the demolition of heritage homes on Sussex Drive last fall. After calling on the National Capital Commission and the city to save the homes, offi cials have decided the best option is to spend more than $1 million dollars to move the homes farther back on the lot so the road can be widened.

How to Avoid 9 Common Buyer Traps

BEFORE Buying a HomeOttawa & Area - Buying a home is a major

investment no matter which way you look at it. But for

many homebuyers, it's an even more expensive

process than it needs to be because many fall prey

to at least a few of the many common and costly

mistakes which trap them into either paying too much

for the home they want, or losing their dream home

to another buyer or, worse, buying the wrong home

for their needs.

A systemized approach to the homebuying

EMC news - New Edin-burgh residents are calling the city’s decision to allow a new home to be built on a laneway the “dismantling” of an impor-tant heritage district.

The city’s planning com-mittee approved severing an L-shaped lot into two lots, as well as the construction of a home on the new lot facing River Lane. It will be the fi rst home built facing a lane, and with access from the lane, since the area was designated as a her-itage conservation district in 2001.

“We are seeing that intensifi -cation is trumping the heritage goals,” said New Edinburgh resident Richard Palmer, who called the proposal “the sys-tematic dismantling of Otta-wa’s fl agship heritage district.

“These are big losses in such a small district like New Edinburgh,” he said.

Planning committee chair-man Coun. Pete Hume said he had trouble following Palmer’s arguments.

“You’re going to have to help me here. There is a lot of access on the lane,” Hume

said. “What’s the problem with

building on the lane, other than you live next door?

“I am having trouble under-standing how that is the lynch-pin that destroys heritage.”

David Sachs, president of the New Edinburgh Commu-nity Alliance, emphasized that one house might not be the lynchpin, but the fact that it will set the precedent for future development, especially on laneways.

“To say there is no force of precedent here is misleading,” Sachs said.

“This thing has fantastic potential for forward momen-tum.”

Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark, who represents the area, said he was completely opposed to the lot severance and approval to build a new home.

“When you look at this in a microcosm you can say it’s fi ne, but it’s not a microcosm,” he said. “This will spark more development on the lane and it’s not serviced.”

Clark said he is concerned that “the system is broken” and that the city is making deci-sions based on outdated heri-

tage guidelines. He called on city staff to update the 2001 heritage conservation district guidelines to 2005 standards. The planning committee de-cided to heed his wishes and directed staff to update the her-itage district plan and address the question of how new infi ll can be appropriately integrated into the district, especially on lanes.

As part of the application for the new home, city staff recommended changing the laneway’s designation to “im-proved” status because it is a paved laneway that the city al-ready maintains by snowplow-ing and collecting garbage and recycling there.

City planner Andrew Mc-Creight said the new home falls within the parameters for the existing zoning and size of homes in the district, expect the lot is slightly small-er.

It could be built with access from the street off Queen Victo-ria Street, if the city wanted to avoid allowing laneway access. But that would mean building a much longer driveway and cut-ting down a mature tree, Mc-Creight said, so the laneway access makes more sense.

Lane plan a threat to heritage, New Edinburgh residents say

OPINIONOPINION Connected to your community

This time of year the news media, searching for ways to make hockey playoffs meaningful to the non-hockey population, focus on the

fans, big crowds of them in matching colours, shaking towels in matching colours, yelling, dancing, or – as in Toronto – looking sud-denly suicidal.

The cameras prowl around the city looking for hockey fans being interesting – which is to say, noisy and excited. Naturally, the cameras fi nd the public areas where noisy and excited people gather. In Ottawa, that would be the so-called Red Mile downtown. People with painted faces and colourful costumes are there. Along the Red Mile, and its equivalent in other cities, the cameras enter the bars, where people are all too happy to wave and shout and chant and look like newsworthy fans.

But there are other, less newsworthy fans in our city. Perhaps they are the majority. Fortunately for them, the cameras do not seek them out.

For these fans their fanaticism is private. They stay out of the public places. Their faces remain unpainted and they wear their normal clothes. Yet in their own way, they are making the adjustment to playoff mode.

This requires changes in their behaviour patterns. Dinner, instead of being at the usual time, now must be earlier, to be over in time for the game. Or it must become a different kind of dinner, in order to be eaten off the lap in front of the TV set. Or it must be so late as to be verging on fashionable.

Social life becomes more complicated. A dinner party scheduled weeks ago suddenly is found to coincide with the game. It can’t be shifted: that would be rude. So calculations have to be made. Are the guests fans? Would they mind eating at 5:30, before the game? Would they mind eating at 10 p.m., after the game? Can they persuaded to eat Chinese food off their laps, in front of the TV, with chopsticks?

And if the guests are not hockey fans?

There are people in the world who think about other things and are oblivious to what happens on the ice. They want to talk about Syria. How many times can you sneak away from the conversation during dinner to check the score? And what will be your excuse – stirring the dessert, making the coffee, a sudden nosebleed, another sudden nosebleed?

And how to explain to your guests the sudden elation/depression you feel around 10 p.m? Depression could be Syria, I suppose.

Another trial facing the private fan has to do with his/her children/grandchildren. They can scarcely be shielded from the fanaticism that is all around them. But they can’t be allowed to stay up until 10 on a school night either. As a consequence, a small but signifi -cant proportion of the fan base only sees the fi rst period.

But even that one period has its own chal-lenges. The commercials have to be muted – which leads to the spectacle of silent video game monsters and Justin Trudeau in his un-dershirt. Further, a quick escape strategy has to be plotted to divert impressionable young eyes away from the fi ghts. “Quick: Weather Network!” goes the cry whenever the gloves are dropped.

In some games, the children see more low

pressure systems than slapshots. They must wonder why people paint their faces for this.

Even among private fans, the pressure builds, the anguish and the ecstasy, the groans and cheers, and the tough part, at the end of it, is to explain to the children and grand-children of private fans that it’s only a game, that you shouldn’t be mad at your team, you shouldn’t hate the other team and life goes on, win or lose.

While you’re doing that, the screen fi lls with all the grieving painted faces in one city and all the hysterically happy painted faces in the other. Quick: Weather Network!

Time to confront concussions

COLUMN

The death of a Barrhaven teen after sustain-ing a severe head injury during a rugby game last week has highlighted the need for more education about concussions and brain

injuries.Rowan Stringer, 17, a John McCrae Secondary

School student and the captain of her school rugby team, was tackled hard and hit her head and neck on the ground during a game on May 14.

According to comments from her parents, Rowan had suffered two head injuries the week leading up to her fatal injury.

The fi rst time, she told her parents and took a pain reliever, the second time she only told her friends about the injury.

We don’t know if these were concussions, but the family has authorized an autopsy to fi nd out the fac-tors leading to her death.

Ottawa’s public school board is now taking a hard look at its safety policies to see if they can be improved and make sure players aren’t playing with injuries. But we can’t place the onus on just the coaches – it’s impossible for them to monitor every single hit. All of us – parents, family members, fellow players, properly armed with the knowledge about the dangers of head injuries can help prevent

athletes playing with concussions.The president of the Brain Injury Association of

Canada has suggested, during an interview with the media, that Rowan might still be alive today if there was better awareness among coaches, players and the general public about the dangers of repeated concus-sions.

The danger of suffering an injury, ranging from bumps and bruises to broken bones and head injuries, is a fact of life for all athletes. Nothing will change that. But athletes properly educated about the dangers of head injuries, can intelligently decide whether or not they are fi t to participate in a game or competi-tion.

A big part of the problem is athletes don’t want to report head injuries because they’re afraid they will miss games. Education is a universal cure for poor decision making and a key component for preventing and treating sports-related concussions.

Schools and sports associations should provide coaches, players and parents with the training and knowledge to both identify and treat concussions and head injuries. Research shows that if an athlete takes a hit to the head and suffers headaches afterwards, they may have suffered a concussion.

An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure.

THIS WEEK’S POLL QUESTION: Should the death of a young rugby player force schools to take a second look at athletic safety in Ottawa?

A) Yes. It is an oppotunity for teachers, coaches, parents and students to learn more about head injuries.

B) Yes. Hazardous sports like football, rugby and hockey have no place in the school system.

C) No. The teen’s death was a isolated incident and isn’t an indication of a wider problem.

D) Do we really need another reason to turn young people away from physical activity?

PREVIOUS POLL SUMMARY:Do you think a Senators playoff run helps to raise community spirit in Ottawa?

A) Defi nitely. Nothing brings everyone in the city together like rallying behind our team.

B) I think it is a wonderful time to be a hockey fan, but the rest of us just shrug it off .

C) No. I don’t think sports are something that should be used to bind a community together.

D) I didn’t even notice the playoff s had started. Is that what all the hubbub is about?

To the editor,

Since the release on Tuesday, May 14 of the results of a study on the preferred route for a future bridge over the Ottawa River, some critics of the study have incorrectly referred to this as a National Capital Com-mission project.

In fact, the study has been funded equally and directed by the ministries of transport of Ontario and Quebec as well as the NCC since it began in 2006. The cities of Ottawa

and Gatineau are providing technical sup-port. The fi ve organizations are part of the study team and their decision-makers have received regular briefi ngs throughout the study.

The study has been an excellent example of co-operation between all three levels of government to solve common transporta-tion challenges.

The study has clearly identifi ed the problem. Without another bridge, conges-tion in downtown Ottawa and Gatineau

will remain and truck traffi c on the al-ready clogged King Edward Avenue and the almost 50-year-old Macdonald-Cartier Bridge will increase by 66 per cent by 2031.

This problem will not go away. It is now up to the three levels of government to de-cide what to do about it.

I was having coffee with a friend of mine the other day. She has a full-time job, three school-age

children and a husband who also has a full-time job, an hour-long daily commute and chronic health problems.

As one does in these situations, I asked, “how’s it going?”

Always with a sense of humour, she said, it’s chaotic, but okay. “But the laundry! I need to hire someone to fold the laundry! My children are starting to think it’s normal to search for clean clothes in a mountain in the basement,” she lamented.

I started thinking deeply on her laundry dilemma. If my friend were a man, would she be more likely to outsource the laundry? I suspect she would. In fact, earlier this year, when my husband was midway through his parental leave, he did just. He had stuff he wanted to do while on leave, like spend a few hours perusing his favourite stores, visit with friends, have a daily shower (and, ironically, reno-vate the laundry room). So he put the request out there: “What if we hire someone

a few mornings per week to look after the baby?”

I was nervous at fi rst and really unsure about the fi nan-cial sustainability of it. It also seemed incredibly indulgent, considering we were both home. But fi ve months in, I realize it’s amazing to have an extra pair of hands on deck. In fact, I’m not sure how I ever stayed home full-time with my boys when they were babies and managed everything on my own. (Anyone with a tod-dler knows that cleaning up after their self-feeding meals alone is a full-time job -- never mind the fact that a baby seems to triple the household laundry at minimum).

It made me think: “leave it to a man to come up with a practical solution to buy a few hours of free time each week, so that, you know, he could have a life as well as look after

a baby full-time.”Yes, I’m gender stereotyp-

ing here. But most stereotypes are grounded in some version of the truth. And the reality is that women, especially where children are concerned, too of-ten fail to consider themselves fi rst.

I look around at the women I know and regardless of whether they’re home full-time or trying to simultane-ously work outside the home and look after things on the domestic front, it seems every-one is simply doing too much.

Last year, American aca-demic Anne-Marie Slaughter caused a stir with her article in The Atlantic, and especially its title, “Why Women Still Can’t Have it All.”

But I’m wondering why anyone would want to have it all -- well, at least, the responsibility of it all. It’s

incredibly freeing to delegate and outsource tasks, whether that’s hiring someone to throw dinner in the slow-cooker and get the laundry into the draw-ers each day, or getting an accountant to do your taxes.

With the recent release of Facebook chief operating offi cer Sheryl Sandberg’s book, Lean In, there is a new mainstream discussion emerg-ing on the future of feminism. The co-authors of The New Girls’ Network recently noted in a Harvard Business Review blog much of this new discus-sion is focused on “executive feminism,” primarily, how to get more women into top roles of organizations. And while this is an essential conversa-tion to be having, particularly pushing cultural change in organizations to better develop women into top roles, it’s also necessary to continue empow-ering women across the board.

Perhaps the best place to start is by encouraging women to be a bit more selfi sh. Let’s scrap the ideologies that cause women to believe they are solely responsible for rearing the perfect child. Let’s start “thinking like men” and put-ting ourselves fi rst so we can be healthier, stronger and offer a well-rounded perspective to our kids. It’s empowering and at the end of the day, I think it’s what women really want.

EMC news - After a long, bleak winter, many Ottawans are now content to bask in the warm rays of a bright sun.

While vitamin D is a won-derful thing, each year many Canadians fi nd themselves diagnosed with skin cancer, even those who take precau-tions and fall outside of the common age range for the af-fl iction.

The Ottawa Hospital is hoping to become a leader in treating the many forms of skin cancer by combining all dermatology services into one location at its Civic Campus. The hospital plans to estab-lish a melanoma rapid diag-nosis and management clinic, as well as a psoriasis systemic therapy clinic, in order to re-duce wait times for patients.

To realize this vision, the hospital is embarking on a

$3 million fundraising cam-paign. It kicked off the ini-tiative with a May 16 media tour of the Parkdale Clinic’s Mohs surgical unit, guided by doctors Jim Walker and Jillian Macdonald of the Ot-tawa Hospital’s admittedly cramped dermatology unit.

“With the new Dermatol-ogy Centre of Excellence, this area would be doubled in size,” said Walker, adding, “The lab would be doubled (in size) and we’d increased from three to fi ve surgery rooms, and increase our operation from three days a week to fi ve days a week.”

Ottawa Mayor Jim Wat-son is serving as honorary campaign chairman for the initiative. His involvement stems from personal experi-ence: Watson has twice been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer.

The fi rst diagnosis came,

oddly enough, during a health exhibition at Queen’s Park while he was serving as an MPP.

“I’m very appreciative of the fact my skin cancer was caught relatively soon, but sadly there are many people in our community that don’t have that early detection and as a result are not as fortunate as I am,” said Watson.

“We’re blessed in Ottawa to have some great physi-cians, great scientists and re-searchers, but we need more capacity. We know that with an aging population and a growing population, plus ev-erything from the depletion of the ozone layer and its impact on skin, that the problem will get worse before it gets bet-ter.”

Watson served as a test subject while Macdonald demonstrated a routine skin exam, where doctors look for suspicious cancerous or pre-cancerous lesions. Like all cancers, early detection ensures the best possible out-come for patients.

Often thought of as a worry

for middle aged people and the elderly, skin cancer is fi ckle and doesn’t follow rigid boundaries.

Ottawa resident Jessica Trotto was on hand to relate her experience with skin can-cer. Trotto, a self-described “country bumpkin” who loves the sun and was a past user of

tanning beds, was diagnosed with a cancerous lesion near her eye while still in her early 30s.

Now 36, Trotto said she was shocked when the diag-nosis of basal cell carcinoma was handed down. While helpful physicians at the hos-pital guided her through the

process, the month-and-a-half wait to rid her body of the cancer drew out her fear.

“The wait is terrifying. I would have nightmares of the skin cancer growing over-night,” said Trotto. “It’s im-perative to reduce those wait times and get those people in as soon as possible.”

Peissel joined the National Capital Commission’s Fred Gaspère and representatives from the ministère des Trans-ports du Québec and the Min-istry of Transportation of On-tario to make the announce-ment to media on May 14.

Lori Assheton-Smith from Rockcliffe Park attended a community stakeholders brief-ing on the evening of May 14 and said news of the chosen corridor did not come as a sur-prise to some of the communi-ties that have been taking part in the consultation.

“I think it’s fair to say ev-eryone saw it coming,” As-sheton-Smith said. “When you look at any of the reports completed, I don’t think they could have reached any other conclusion.”

Kettle Island ranked the best in traffi c and transpor-tation, natural environment, economic environment, land use and properties and costs. It ranked lower when it came to looking at the social envi-ronment and for water use

and resources, including a potential risk to the Gatineau Water Treatment Plant, but the team was assured that any spills would be considered manageable.

When it comes to the resi-dents who live near Kettle Is-land, social environment fac-tors are of great concern.

Upon hearing the news, Ot-tawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur said she was disap-pointed in the NCC’s recom-mendation.

“The building of a bridge between Ottawa and Gatin-eau has been my priority for many years, but I’ve always maintained that a new bridge should not disrupt established residential neighbourhoods,” Meilleur wrote in a press re-lease.

“Any interprovincial bridge needs to get the trucks out of downtown, and any proposal that does not respect the local communities and does not get the trucks out of residential areas is not a solution. I will continue to fi ght to protect all residential neighbourhoods and to encourage better pub-

lic transit to and from the city core, and I will recommend that the Ontario government not fund a bridge at Kettle Island.”

Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau said the location of a new interprovincial bridge would go has been studied for the past 60 years with Kettle Island always being the ideal location.

Although he was happy to hear the greenbelt would be saved, Galipeau did say he questions when a bridge will ever be built. While admitting there is a commitment from various levels of government to build a bridge, he said he has a hard time believing it could get built in his lifetime.

The most recent reports released by Roche-Genivar revealed a bridge would cost taxpayers $1.6 billion. The summary allows for a 25 per cent contingency.

The report found that Ket-tle Island is the most econom-ically viable option, coming in at $200 million less than the cost of the next most eco-nomical option.

“Milos, I am going to Break you”A mini-revolution is brewing in North America. The approach is called “Progressive Tennis.” It is imported from European countries such as France and Belgium where it was used to successfully develop players like Justine Henin-Hardenne and Olivier Rochus. Progressive Tennis uses a systematic progression of court sizes, balls, and racquets, to scale the game down to an appropriate level for 5-10 year olds.

Modifi ed racquets and balls are not new. The equipment has been around for a while, as has the “graduated length” concept. Coaches have used bits and pieces for years seeing the advantage from the perspective of success, fun and safety. The diff erence this time is that all these elements have been brought together in a much more systematic way than ever before. Tennis companies now carry the full line of half-court and ¾-court progressive equipment including graduated, balls, racquets, lay down lines and nets.

The power of the progressive tennis system is that it allows players to play quickly and successfully. In Progressive Tennis, the philosophy is that tennis is a great and fun game to play and the quicker and more skillfully a player can play the more fun it is. Each stage not only has specifi c equipment to aid success, but particular skills to develop as well. It is recommended a Game-Based Approach be used. The coach’s job is to get them to play, and help them learn to play better.

Simply put, “Progressive Tennis” is used as a developmental tool to allow young children to improve their overall tennis skills faster so they can transition to the regular court with more ease.

The OTA, NCTA, City of Ottawa and all of our clubs are committed to helping you and your children play this great game. Sean Sweeney OTA Regional Chair said that: “All of us are committed to helping introduce over 25 000 new kids to the game of tennis by Dec 2013”. So, call or drop by one of our great clubs below and get started today.

It’s the same type of tool used to guide homebuilding on the other side of the canal, on Queen Elizabeth Drive.

Height limits would drop from 11 metres to nine metres, which would still allow for a three-storey home, said Nancy Meloshe, the planning consul-tant the city hired for the proj-ect. Only three of the existing 39 homes along that stretch are taller than nine metres.

The mix of housing styles is something residents really val-ue, and a couple people wanted to ensure the new restrictions wouldn’t prevent the construc-tion of homes in modern archi-tectural styles.

Miguelez said keeping the more lenient zoning will al-low the area to become home to more residents, which aligns with the city’s intensi-fi cation goals, while encour-aging the existing homes and the neighbourhood character to be retained.

“It would be a disservice to those big old homes to not al-low them to change with the times,” Miguelez said.

The R3 zone allows for homes to be converted to con-tain up to four dwellings, up to 10 residents in a group home or retirement home, a duplex, townhome or semi-detached dwelling, a home-based busi-ness or diplomatic mission.

Residents who live in the homes along the stretch said they are less concerned about whether people live in town-homes or semi-detached dwell-ings and more concerned about the height of the homes and en-suring their scale is compatible with neighbouring dwellings.

It also means any additions to homes would have to be in the rear of the house and small-er in scale, so they aren’t vis-ible from the street.

That concerned a couple of residents, including Wallace Dowswell, who added that overall he was happy.

“This will reduce the incen-tive to demolish and rebuild,” he said. “We’re allowing change, but controlled change.”

Changing the zoning for the area would also be a bad idea because it would mean several of the homes would no longer conform to the area’s zon-

ing – something the city calls “non-conforming rights.” The city tries to avoid that because it creates a tangled mess for ho-meowners to acquire insurance if the home is sold to a new owner and can therefore make homes diffi cult to sell.

The Colonel By and Green-bank zoning consistency changes will be presented to the city’s planning committee for approval on June 25.

The changes will be accom-panied by a related but smaller review of three properties in Knoxdale-Merivale Ward: 171, 173 and 175 Greenbank Rd. The property owners are in agreement with Meloshe’s rec-ommendations and she expects them to bring forward a plan for a retirement residence.

Miguelez said what his team learned during the Colonel By zoning discussion could be ap-plied to a broader swath of Old Ottawa South. That could come up during Phase 2 of the city’s small-scale infi ll homes review, which is getting underway this month and will be the topic of a public meeting in June.

But Meloshe said the Colo-nel By homes are distinct from the rest of the neighbourhood.

“It struck us as interesting that the properties along Colo-nel By are different in terms of the character of the houses, the stateliness of the houses and the size of the properties,” she said.

EMC news - At the recent Sandy Hill meeting, residents strongly opposed a developer’s proposal to reconsider earlier plans to establish a temporary park at a vacant lot in the neighbourhood.

While temporary fencing and gravel paths currently serve as the only indication property owners Richcraft Group have plans for the site at the corner of Rideau and Charlotte streets, there was more evidence of its signifi cance at the May 16 meeting.

Discussion at Action Sandy Hill’s annual general meeting swirled around news that the plans for the lot had changed and Richcraft is now seeking to set up a sales centre in addition to the small temporary park.

“Let’s hold them to their agreement,” said Chad Rollins, a resident at the meeting, referring to Richcraft’s proposal to demolish the buildings at 588 and 592 Rideau Street and 165 Charlotte St. made back in April 2012, which included plans to host a city-leased park there for at least three years.

The Sandy Hill community was in favour of temporary park plan.

The original goal was for the buildings to be demolished and the park built by October 2012. Now the proposed $70,000 park is scheduled to be completed by July 1, but Richcraft now wants to alter its plans, with preliminary sketches showing four parking spots and a sales offi ce taking up approximately one-third of the site.

The new plans promise a smaller park that would stay in place for a longer period of time, for a total of seven years on the site. According to Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, Richcraft said it would spend more on the park, upwards to $100,000.

But residents at the meeting indicated they were not willing to discuss the issue and wanted to hold the developer to its original agreement.

Rollins proposed a motion that members of the community vote to keep Richcraft to its word.

“Let’s tell them we want a park for three years,” he said.

Association president Christopher Collmorgen agreed

and brought forward a motion to that effect at the meeting.

Fleury told the crowd of more than 150 concerned residents that the important thing is to hear from the developers.

“There were no visuals, no presentation, it’s important to meet with the developer,” Fleury said the following morning.

At the meeting Fleury told residents he wants to see a park.

“I want a park, that’s what I worked for,” he said.

The councillor said he will work with the association and Richcraft to host a public meeting on the issue as soon as possible and added he hopes that as many residents who came out to the meeting to oppose the issue would also attend the meeting with the developer.

“There are other elements that need to be addressed,” Fleury said.

Fleury said by shutting out the developer and sticking to the original plans, it raises the possibility that in three years Richcraft could bulldoze the park to put up a parking lot and sales offi ce.

“I have no problem with the outcome that took place last night, but I do have a problem with the process,” Fleury said.

Kevin Yemm of Richcraft has been communicating with the community about this issue.

According to Yemm, he has reached out to Fleury’s offi ce and Collmorgen to discuss the change to plans and this option would give more animation to park, including bringing electricity for groups to be able to host larger events.

“We have to balance the interest of both the owner and the community,” Yemm said. “I personally think (the proposal) does. What we offered to ASH, the councillor and the city is what we think is, not thinking of fairness, but it’s about maximizing our opportunity and the community’s. Everybody can gain from this.”

Collmorgen said the community spoke out in large numbers against the park at the meeting, which is great, but those people need to attend the consultation.

“There is value in everyone coming out to a public consultation in the same amount of large numbers to stand their ground and let Richcraft understand how important it is to the community for the company to stand by its word,” Collmorgen.

Yemm said that as the land is privately owned, the owner has the right to change its plans for a development.

EMC news - St. Mary’s Home has young women ap-proach them every day for help, as they house at-risk pregnant girls and young women.

But it’s rare that someone approaches St. Mary’s Home to try and help them, said ex-ecutive director Nancy Mac-Nider.

But Desserts of the World Festival organizers contacted them to say that they wanted the Orléans event, which was held May 8, to be a fundraiser for the non-profi t organiza-tion.

“Nobody’s ever done this for us before,” MacNider such. “This is such a gift.”

The festival brought togeth-er bakeries, dessert shops and embassies to put out a mas-sive spread of desserts, rang-ing from Malaysian pastries to dozens of brightly decorated cupcakes, all at the Shankman Arts Centre.

The total amount raised won’t be announced until June 11 at St. Mary’s Home, but organizer Serge Bijimine said they hope to be able to donate at least $5,000.

MacNider said the donation will go towards the general operating budget for the home and outreach centre.

The home, located on de L’Eglise Street in Vanier, hous-es up to 15 pregnant women or new mothers between the ages of 12 and 24 at any given time, and up to seven newborn ba-bies.

“Usually it’s a pretty hope-less situation,” said MacNider of the women who arrive, most of whom don’t have a perma-nent home or place to take their baby after birth. The new moms and babies can stay at the home until the babies are seven months old.

The home also operates an outreach centre, two blocks away, for any young pregnant woman or new mom, not just those in high-risk environ-ments.

At the outreach centre, the women work towards high school credits – but with a pre-natal focus. The English writ-ing assignment may be about a baby’s development, or a pub-lic speaking assignment about nutrition.

The June 11 event, where Desserts of the World will present the cheque, will co-incide with the women’s high

school graduation. Every year, 450 different

women – or young fathers, who are offered a special pro-gram at the outreach centre – pass through St. Mary’s. Ottawa Public Health teaches pre-natal classes, and offers a weekly clinic.

It’s a safe environment for a young, pregnant woman, in-stead of taking prenatal classes with married couples thrilled to be expecting.

“Then they just feel like a fi fth wheel,” MacNider said. “You can feel like your whole world is coming to an end.”

Having the program and res-idential home means that more babies are born into safe envi-ronments, where their mothers are supported by both their peers and a group of profes-sionals to coach them through any new parent nerves.

The organization gets fund-ing from the provincial Min-istry of Children and Youth, the city and United Way but hasn’t had many public cam-paigns or fundraisers, despite celebrating its 80th anniver-sary last week.

“It was really a place people came to hide, so we were hid-den as an organization,” Mac-Nider said.

EMC news - Teach kids how to lead a healthy lifestyle and we’ll pre-vent a lot of kidney disease.

This was the message from Ot-tawa Hospital kidney expert Dr. Shiv Jindal at the Kidney Foundation’s an-nual general meeting on May 14.

The Eastern Ontario chapter met at Southminster United Church in Old Ottawa South to celebrate a year of success, and for the fi rst time invited several speakers to address current is-sues in the fi eld.

Jindal spoke passionately about the need for prevention at a very young age, before any risk factors for kidney disease have even set in.

“We should not be talking about organ failure, because it’s too late,” he told the audience of about 40 people.

“We should be talking about vas-cular health, which is the common link.”

Jindal said genes and factors like gender and ethnicity play a minor role in kidney disease. While the genes are there, it’s our lifestyle choices that cause them to develop kidney disease, he said.

Avoiding unhealthy habits from the outset is crucial, Jindal said, and parents and educators must play a key role in making sure children are eat-ing well, getting enough exercise and learning how to lead a healthy life-style in the future.

When bad habits are allowed to continue, blood vessels are damaged and we don’t even know it, Jindal ex-plained. The damage occurs across the entire body.

There are no tests to prove it, and as the damage gets worse it then starts to effect organs. By the time the organs are damaged, there is little we can do

to reverse the problem, Jindal said. And the problem is getting worse.

Kidney disease has tripled in recent years, Jindal said, and in Ottawa there are 200 new patients each year. About 1,000 Ottawa residents are on some sort of dialysis, and another 550 at-tend the hospital’s progressive renal insuffi ciency (PRI) clinic. Between 150 and 175 residents are waiting for a new kidney.

Jindal said he would like to see a small pilot project in Ottawa that teaches families and educators what a healthy lifestyle actually looks like, and how to promote that with chil-dren.

“Despite all our marketing, all our publicity, nothing is working,” Jindal said. “Maybe we have to take a differ-ent approach.”

SUCCESS STORIES

Despite the new format, the foun-dation still found time to celebrate its volunteers and success stories from the past year.

Manotick resident David Presley received an excellence award for his door-knocking campaign dur-ing the foundation’s annual March Drive. Presley’s wife Lyn accepted the award of his behalf, as David is currently recovering from his kidney transplant at the end of April.

“Unfortunately he can’t be here, but fortunately he can’t be here,” Lyn quipped as she thanked fellow volunteers for their support as David recovers.

The Presleys waited fi ve years for a kidney transplant, and the news of an available kidney came out of the blue on April 29 after a weekend at the Alive to Strive fundraising run in support of the foundation.

EMC news - A local wheelchair hockey league is looking to expand its programming thanks to a grant from the province.

The Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey league provides recre-ational and competitive fl oor hockey programs for people with disabilities.

The league, which operates out of the Greenboro Community Centre, received a Ontario Trillium Grant of $5,900 to help expand from two teams to four, as well as purchase equipment and rent recreational space to in which to play.

“This funding will help us con-tinue to provide a professional, safe, adapted sports and recreation program for those whom suffer from disabilities,” said Donna Haycock, chairwoman of the league.

“Wheelchair hockey provides players with an enabling abil-ity, where even the most severely disabled person can compete and contribute to the success of their team.”

The league doubled its roster this year and with the new funding it aims to continue expansion.

Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli announced the funding be-fore dropping the ball ahead of Game

2 of a three game series between the league’s current teams on May 12.

“It doesn’t matter what type of hockey you play -- it’s a tremendous rush to play and it’s Canada’s sport,” Chiarelli said.

As a hockey player and fan, Chi-arelli added he understands the im-portance to be a part of a team.

“The Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League is helping to make that a reality for dozens of Ottawa ath-letes to come together, have fun and play some great hockey,” he said.

The two teams, the Gators and the Sharks, feature players using power wheelchairs and have limited or no upper body strength and have limited or no mobility.

According to the league’s website, players have differ-ent disabilities. The majority of players have either cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.

The league is a co-ed, all ages format, with the young-est player only seven years old. Players come from across the city to play in the league, and in one case, a family drives from Kingston to give their 10-year-old son, Joey Kelly, a chance to play.

“It’s the closest league we have,” said Linda Kelly, Joey’s mother. “This is his fi rst year playing and he loves it. He just lights up while he plays.”

The game is competitive, and very fast-paced. Every team member gets the chance to play. Kelli Tonner’s 11-year-old son, Kellen Schleyer, plays for the Sharks, and she said she gets knots in her stomach every Sunday before the game.

“He is very competitive and this game and team allow his competitive streak to come

out,” Tonner said. “It’s as chal-lenging and exciting as any other game.”

Haycock said the organiza-tion has come a long way in the four years since starting up the charity league, and thanked all the volunteers for their contin-ued support.

“We have grown tremen-

dously because of a lot of peo-ple who are working hard all the time,” she said.

The organization was formed in 2009 by Carleton University students, with cur-rently 30 players. Visit opwhl.com for more information about the league, to join or to donate to the organization.

EMC news - Rugby player Rowan Stringer, a Grade 12 student at John McCrae Sec-ondary School, died May 12 following a hit during a girls rugby game on May 8. String-er, who played with the Bar-rhaven Scottish Rugby Foot-ball Club, took a hit during a home game against St. Joseph High School.

Her family made the deci-sion on May 11 to take her off life support, and began prepa-rations to donate the 17-year-old team captain’s organs – an easy decision, her father said.

“When we made the deci-sion to stop interventions on Saturday, it was very easy for us to transition into going through the process of donat-ing her organs, because that is exactly what she wanted to have done,” Gordon Stringer said.

She had already been ac-cepted into nursing school at the University of Ottawa in

September, and wanted to do international aid work with children in the future.

Two children at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto received her kidneys and will no lon-ger require dialysis. Her lungs also went to Toronto for a young woman in her 20s, her pancreas to Toronto and her liver to London, Ont.

“Her heart stayed in Ot-tawa, just where it should be,” Kathleen Stringer, Rowan’s mother, wrote on Facebook. “This brings great joy and sol-ace to us.”

Gordon Stringer said that she was tackled during the game, and she the ground awkwardly, head fi rst. Her teammates told him that she sat up for a couple of seconds before falling back down and losing consciousness.

“We have no qualms about the sport or anything. She loved it. We loved going to watch her and everything, but it is a pretty rough sport and she liked that,” he said. “She liked to get in the rough and

tumble and she was a pretty good athlete, but she took a pretty hard hit,” he said.

“As a school system, we are so extremely saddened and we extend our sincere condolenc-es to the Stringer family,” said board spokesperson Sharlene Hunter.

Decisions on the rest of the season for high school rugby teams has not been decided yet, she said.

The John McCrae rugby game scheduled for May 13 against St. Mark was can-celled, along with all school sports for May 13 and 14. The board said that support staff would be on hand to help students through the grieving process.

Rugby Canada’s CEO, Graham Brown, ordered con-dolences to her family and friends.

“Now is the time for all of us to come together and sup-port the Stringer family as they deal with this terrible loss. We will provide updates on how the Canadian rugby community can support the Stringers,” he said.

Father’s sister, Aunt Lizzie, who we thought was very wealthy, lived in

Regina and once a year she came out to the homestead in Renfrew County to check up on her only brother, and as Mother said, to make sure the farm hadn’t slipped into the Bonnechere River.

Aunt Lizzie didn’t think Mother was good farm mate-rial. She thought anyone who had lived most of her life in New York certainly wouldn’t amount a hill of beans in the backwoods of Renfrew County.

Every time she came to visit, the house was in tur-moil. Everything had to be scrubbed within an inch of its life and my sister Audrey and I had to give up our bed and the little washstand we shared at the top of the stairs. Even the top had to be cleared off, so my collection of little stones I cherished -- small little stones I picked up on the farm and which I loved dearly -- had to be put in a little paper bag and tucked away for keeping in a safe place. Audrey’s hand mirror and comb, too, had to fi nd a new home for Aunt Lizzie’s visit.

Even though she was his

sister, Father was always in a lather when Aunt Lizzie came for her yearly visit. She insisted on bringing him something which served no earthly purpose and which she thought he shouldn’t live without. And often the hand-me-down box included a present for Father which made little or no sense what-soever.

Like the kimono. Father had never laid eyes on a ki-mono before, but he insisted on wearing it when we had neighbours in for euchre one Saturday night. Even Mother couldn’t talk him out of put-ting it on, but when Uncle Alec, after dealing out the cards, asked Father what in tarnation he had on over his shirt and trousers, Father de-cided the kimono just wasn’t for him.

When Aunt Lizzie visited us in Renfrew County, she never failed to bring Father some outlandish gift, which

she insisted was just what he needed. One summer it was a dress shirt with a high round celluloid collar, which Father had to wear to church the Sunday she was there. It took both Mother and Aunt Lizzie to button it around his neck and when he got home he said his head ached and his ears were ringing. He never wore the shirt again.

I thought the small stiff straw hat with the narrow brim and the narrow black ribbon looked much better than the big old tattered one Father wore around the farm. Aunt Lizzie bought it at Walker’s Store in Renfrew and she never let Father for-get that she had paid a whole 75 cents for it. That didn’t make him like it any better, especially when he saw the identical hat on a woman in the Lutheran Church one Sunday.

Well, one summer Aunt Lizzie arrived and as usual

the house was in turmoil. She re-arranged the furniture without even an if-you-please to Mother, all of which was promptly moved back where it belonged the minute the train left Renfrew station. That year, Aunt Lizzie told Father that she wanted to go into Renfrew to do some shopping for him, as what she had in mind was too bulky to pack in her cow-hide suitcases.

Father wasn’t too pleased, but Mother told him to get it over with. There would be no living with his sister until she had her way. So off they went in the Model T on the Saturday. I couldn’t wait to see what Aunt Lizzie had in mind for Father.

When they got home, Father was like a thunder cloud, changed into his bib overalls and headed for the barn. Aunt Lizzie came in with a shoe box under her arm. She opened it on the kitchen table and there was a pair of men’s shoes the like of which I had never seen before.

They were black shiny patent leather, with white leather insets under the laces and the toes were so pointed, Emerson said you could kick the eyes out of a snake at 50

paces.Aunt Lizzie insisted

Father wear them to church the next day, which he did with great reluctance, but the minute he got home, they were exchanged for his well-worn black work boots. Aunt Lizzie said he should wear them all day to break them in.

Father sat and looked at the shoes for the longest time and I could tell he was think-ing long and hard. He put the new shoes back on and headed for the barn to do the Sunday night chores.

When he came in for sup-per, you wouldn’t recognize the new black and white leather shoes. They were covered with manure, grass and mud and you couldn’t tell where the white insets

started and the black toes began. Even Father’s socks were ready for the Monday washing!

I knew without question Father, who was meticu-lous about both himself and the barns, had deliberately ruined the shoes.

Aunt Lizzie fl ew into a fi t, grabbed the shoes and went

out to the rain barrel with a whisk and a rag. She agreed then they should only be worn to church on Sunday. Her train left before the week was out and she wasn’t around to see if Father was in his new shoes at the Lu-theran Church.

Like the kimono, the shirt with the celluloid collar and the straw hat, the shoes van-ished, never to be seen again on the farm at Northcote.

EMC news - Twigs, leaves and plywood provided the fl oor for a Habitat for Humanity groundbreak-ing ceremony on Nantes Street, but soon enough, lawns and carpeting will be underfoot.

A wobbly table full of juice boxes was set up for the May 9 ceremony, and it too will be replaced, by three kitchen tables.

Only the juice boxes are likely to stay the same – there are lots of kids moving in.

Three families are expected to take possession of their new homes in as little as four months, with eight chil-dren among the new residents.

“Thank you to all who, in one way or another, made this possible,” said Margarita Caceres, who will live in a new bungalow with her husband Sal-vador and their four children.

Prior to the groundbreaking, speakers reiterated that the three fam-ilies are receiving “a hand up, not a handout.”

Each of the new homeowners is employed but earns a low income. They will pay off an interest-free mortgage and will also donate hun-dreds of hours of time to building the homes or to Habitat in other forms of volunteer work. Habitat then uses the repaid mortgages to carry out more home building.

Donna Hicks, the CEO of Habitat for Humanity’s National Capital Re-gion branch, said the Nantes Street houses will mean the Ottawa area will soon have 43 Habitat homes. She not-ed that one of the Nantes homes will be the fi rst built with an aboriginal family in mind – Ida Kakekagumicks and her three grandchildren – all of whom attended the groundbreaking and took part in a traditional smudg-ing ceremony to prepare the site.

The land where the three homes will be built was donated by the Re-gional Group of Companies, a real

estate and investment fi rm, and their partners. Volunteer builders and some professionals will turn the site into a hive of activity for about four months. Work was expected to begin last week.

The three homes consist of one bungalow and one duplex designed to appear similar to the single-family homes in the neighbourhood.

A TRUE MUSTANG EXPERIENCE – AT CALABOGIE MOTORSPORTS PARK.

EMC news - The Somerset Street strip in Ottawa’s Chi-natown will be seeing a lively new addition if city council follows the planning commit-tee’s lead in approving a new mixed-use development.

A nine-storey apartment building with ground fl oor grocery store and restaurant received committee approval on May 14, paving the way

for a much-needed food store in the Chinatown-Dalhousie neighbourhood. The building would be built on a surface parking lot at the southeast corner of Somerset and Roch-ester streets.

City staff had already signed off on the zoning by-law amendment and site plan control, which describe the development as having 75 res-idential apartment units and an underground parking ga-rage containing 52 commer-

cial spaces and 22 residential spaces, with 13 residential visitor spaces.

The garage would be ac-cessed via the rear of the site, with vehicles entering from Rochester Street.

While Somerset is labelled “traditional mainstreet” in the city’s Offi cial Plan meaning buildings of up to six stories are appropriate, special ap-proval can be given to taller buildings in certain areas.

The development site is lo-

cated on a corner and is within 600 metres of a rapid transit station. Those factors, plus red brick construction that is

in keeping with the surround-ing neighbourhood, swayed city staff to approve of the proposal.

As well, the building is stepped back at the fi fth and ninth storeys in order to re-duce bulk when viewed from street level.

When the application was fi rst put forward, Som-erset Coun. Diane Hol-mes said that while some residents had concerns about the added height, new rental units and a food store was desperately needed, and wel-comed, in the underserved area.

As stated in the staff report, “the Dalhousie Community Association submitted com-ments and supported redevel-opment of an underutilized site, but expressed concerns, including the proposed build-ing height.”

The zoning by-law and site plan applications go before city council on May 22.

He went into surgery about 12 hours later, and by early Tuesday morning was in recovery.

“It has been a long fi ve years lead-ing up to this,” Lyn wrote in an email to her supporters that day. “Our thoughts and extreme gratitude is very much with the donor family who, in their time of grief made the decision to give life to others.”

Stittsville teacher Marianne Gra-ham was recognized for her “infec-tious enthusiasm” as she and her family raised $12,000 for the foun-dation at a community event last year. Graham donated her kidney to her husband Bill six years ago.

Frank Fenn and Lucie Duguay from the Carlingwood Mall received the Rabbi Reuven P. Bulka award for an event they held at the west-end mall in February, where they signed up 300 new people to be or-gan donors. A former staff member had needed a kidney transplant, and Fenn and Duguay decided to support him with their fundraiser. Along with signing up 300 new donors, they also raised about $5,000 for the founda-tion.

Linda and Marcel Moncion, who own the Your Independent Grocer in Riverside South, were also recog-nized for outstanding support of the foundation.

Manotick News reporter Emma Jackson accepted an award for EMC Metroland’s ongoing coverage of or-gan donation issues.

The AGM brought together sev-eral key people on the 55th anniver-sary of the fi rst kidney transplant in the British Commonwealth.

Dr. John Dossetor, a Canadian physician and kidney expert who co-ordinated that fi rst transplant from McGill University in Montreal, at-tended the meeting with his wife.

He was joined by Nola Johnson, who donated her kidney to her twin sister Moira on May 14, 1958 when she was just 15 years old - making Canadian and kidney research his-tory.

“It’s strange that this (coinci-

dence) would happen,” Johnson said. “When May 14th comes around I think about it but we don’t mark it.”

Moira became ill in March, and Dossetor knew she was experiencing renal failure. At the time, transplants could only be done between identical twins - and it was only by chance that the girls’ mother mentioned Moira did indeed have a twin.

“We had to test to prove we were identical,” remembered Johnson, who volunteered her kidney as soon as she knew a transplant was a possibil-ity.

“It was just a week before they determined there could be an opera-tion.”

But it wasn’t so simple. Because the girls were minors, they had to face a family court judge to deter-mine if they were able to consent to donate and receive kidneys. By the time the judge had given his approv-al, it was May.

Though the operation had never

been done in Canada or anywhere else in the Commonwealth, Johnson said her mother didn’t want to go to the United States where the doctors had more experience.

“She had faith in the doctors,” Johnson said.

With good reason. The transplant was successful, and Moira lived for 29 years with Johnson’s kidney.

“It worked out quite well,” Dosse-tor said. “She gave her sister 29 years of life.”

Since the sisters shared so many genes, Johnson’s donated kidney eventually became diseased, and Moira was on dialysis for several years before she died from breast cancer in 1987. Johnson also has kid-ney disease in her remaining kidney, but is not yet on dialysis.

Still, Johnson said she’s aware how remarkable her story still is 55 years later.

“We knew it was important,” she said.

Foundation recognizes ongoing support


EMC news - Dows’s Lake was once a massive swamp, with the tall-est points being the tops of towering trees. Now, the area is the breeding ground for a different type of lofty landmark.

Last week, an Offi cial Plan amendment application submitted by Richcraft Homes appeared on the city’s website in support of a pro-posal for the site currently occupied by Dow Honda, one that would set a new precedent for tall buildings in Ottawa. The application calls for two 48-storey residential buildings and one 18-storey building on the site, which is adjacent to the Carling O-Train station.

Recently the area around the inter-section of Carling Avenue and Pres-ton Street saw city approval given to a development of 45 storeys proposed by Claridge Homes. Earlier, Master-craft-Starwood received approval for a 30-storey building just to the north of the Dow Honda site.

Dow Honda was sold last summer after occupying the site for more than four decades. In media reports, the owner stated limited accessibility as being the reason for wanting to fi nd a new location for the dealership.

The 76-page planning rationale for Richcraft’s proposal, prepared by FoTenn Consultants, shows the taller towers oriented north-south along the O-Train corridor, with the shorter tower closest to Adeline Street. The 18-storey tower would share a two-storey podium with the closest 48-

storey tower. The development would contain a

total of 1,123 residential units and ap-proximately 80,124 square metres of space for retail, amenity and residen-tial uses. Six levels of underground parking, containing 766 spaces (91 of which are visitor and retail), are listed in the application. Main ve-hicle access would be from Sydney Street, with secondary access from Adeline and Carling.

Approximately 566 bicycle spaces are included as part of the proposal.

Between the two tall towers, lead-ing to the entrance to the O-Train sta-tion, would be a 1,585 square-metre public plaza. Live/work units with ground-fl oor entrances would front onto the multi-use pathway that runs along the O-Train corridor.

The rationale references the site’s proximity to rapid transit and the city and province’s goal of intensifi cation as reasons the development should proceed.

When contacted, a staff member in the offi ce of Somerset Coun. Di-ane Holmes said she was not aware of a community meeting arranged for the proposal at this point.

Michael Powell, president of the Dalhousie Community Association, said that he and members of the asso-ciation will be going over the details of the proposal soon, though there are no meetings currently planned.

Powell said there is a general ac-ceptance that height will be concen-trated in that area, but wants to en-sure “the development interacts well with the street and the community.”

Any community space created as part of the project should come with the assurance of that amenity area being reliably maintained, he added.

The comment period for the pro-posal is ongoing, and the fi le does not seem to have an end date for that pe-riod. It does, however, list a planning committee date of Aug. 13, 2013.

The month of May brings with it the wonderful scents of nature as it slowly awakens. When we are affected by typical symptoms of seasonal allergies or a cold, it is difficult to enjoy the newly arrived warm weather.

Below is a table that can help you determine if you are suffering from seasonal allergies or the common cold. Talk to a health professional if needed to confirm the diagnosis.

Vanier, Ontario 613-741-5050

Légende :+++: Very frequent++: Frequent+: Possible-: Rare

If you think you are suffering from seasonal allergies, talk to your pharmacist who can help you choose an over-the-counter antihistamine. Products such asREACTINE®, can greatly contribute in relieving the discomfort caused by your allergy symptoms. Taking an antihistamine each day during a typical allergy season, before symptoms begin, increases the chances of effective relief. Talk to your pharmacist about it.
