EMC news - Overcoming their fears for the sake of a car brought together two very different people in West Carleton last week. Alexis Patrascu is a Grade 5 student at Venta Preparatory School near Carp. She is new to the school, to the city even. She is a good student, but is much more comfortable with math, the hard sciences, and generally with definite answers to specific questions. That way she can obtain clear marks and accurately gauge her progression. Art is not her thing. Andrew Thompson is an unassuming chap closer to middle age than secondary schooling. He appears a regular person with no standout qualities except for two: his thick British accent, and his penchant for driving really, really fast. Thompson grew up in Brockville watching the race cars spin around the quarter-mile dirt track.
Andrew Thompson shrugged off years of 'if-only' to climb into a race car for the first time two years ago. Alexis Patrascu's never been comfortable doing art. But when the chance came up to decorate a race car, she, too, mustard her courage.
Barn dance kicks off 150th Carp Fair anniversary Sherry Haaima firstname.lastname@example.com
EMC news – It was a toe-tapping good time had by all. After the Carp Fair 150th anniversary barn dance committee was through with it, the show barn at the Carp Fairgrounds set the perfect scene for Saturday night's event, held to kick off a special year of anniversary activities. Barn dance committee chair Bill Wilson, See RACE CAR, Page 5

a past president of the board, said he's been going to the Carp Fair every year since he was a child. While his involvement with the board had slowed down in the past few years, for this year's special anniversary he wanted to get back into mix and support the important community event. He was pleased with attendance and said the barn dance was a fitting way to mark the occasion. "We're getting the year started off right," said Wilson.
Carp fair board president Matt Munro thanked the dance committee members for their hard work. "They did an amazing job." His counterpart agreed. "It's a great way to kick off the 150th," said Wendy Cox, homecraft president. Attendance was looking really good, she said, thanks in part to the Ottawa Senators closing their series early so the dance didn't have to compete with a big hockey game. See PERFORMERS, Page 6

Book on Carp Fair ready to read Patricia Leboeuf
EMC news - The history of the Carp Fair has been summarized in book form and officially released for historiophiles to enjoy. Peg Blair may be the author, but she couldn't have done it without the joint contribution of the Huntley Historical Society and the Carp Fair Board. Blair is an active writer. Coming from a long line of authors, she continued the tradition of writing for the society. She produces the 100 years column in their monthly newsletter. In 2007, she published 'Carp Public School Over
the Years 1905 – 1968'. Her newest book 'Carp Fair History in the Making' was officially launched at the Carp Library on May 6. About 20 people were on hand, enjoying cake and scanning the many copies on hand. The 95-page book is factual, reciting concrete knowledge. "I stayed away from many kind of anecdotal stuff because anecdotal is just that," said Blair. "It's somebody's memory. It's coloured through somebody's memory." A lot of research was put into the compilation of historical facts. She scoured old Carp Fair board meetings minutes, dug through old
information and communicated with the historical society. "The old minutes with the stick pen was very hard to read, some of them were written in pencil," said Blair. "It was laborious, but nevertheless interesting." Her writing was mostly done during the winter months and rainy days during the past three years. The creation of the book was based off volunteer work, with people feeling a connection with the subject. "I personally feel really like that the Carp Fair is a huge part of my life," said Cover designer and local artist Emma Caldwell. "My dad and my grandpa and my uncle were all presidents so contributing to this book made me feel closer to that." Even the publisher Ruth Kirkpatrick has roots in the community. She has been working in partnership with the historical society for several years, printing all but one of their publications. "I'm a history nut so it's something I enjoy doing," said Kirkpatrick. She may be used to printing all sorts of things, but the book's old photographs struck her. "I'm a very visual oriented person and the photographs that Peg got are just amazing," she said. "Some of them are definitely old, but for old photograph there is still a definite amount of details in them." "A lot of these photographs are in pretty darn good shape all things considered," she added. Blair had to scour through thousands of photos to find the perfect ones. Finding such a diverse amount of photographs was very time consuming. Getting the subject names and information also took a lot of digging. "If I could pick on person out (from the pho-
Author Peg Blair signs the official library copy of the history of the Carp Fair book. Librarian Lori Fielding plans to order more. to) and just hammer them until they figured out who the other people were," said Blair. "You just sort of have to be a bother." With 150 years to go through, the book contains a complete history of the Carp Fair. A signed copy was given to the library to add to their collection. Copies of the book can be obtained for $20 by calling the Carp Fair Office at 613-8392172.

Forum to discuss youth issues in Constance Bay Patricia Leboeuf email@example.com
EMC news - Worried Constance Bay parents can attend a forum to discuss, discover and deal with youth issues. The free event will be held on May 26 at the Constance Bay and Buckham's Bay Community Centre. It begins at 12:30 p.m and a light lunch will be served. The decision to hold a forum about youth issues came at the heel fentanyl patch issue, where Manotick teenagers where found smoking it to get high. Focusing on helping teens is important for the well being of the community, but it isn't always easy. "They are the adults of tomorrow,� said Rural Community Developer Julie McKercher. "It's important that we are raising citizens that feel that their needs are being met.� "I feel like, and I'm a parent myself, it's hard to be 100 per cent clued in,� she added. "But sometimes opportunities come along to learn
something that will be valuable.� The forum will help educate parents and prepare them to deal with difficult situations. "It gives them the ammunition, if you will, to be present and be aware,� said McKercher. She admits that she doesn't know all the answers, but feels that the community does. "I'm sure they know what they want to see,� she said. "It's a matter of taking that community input and doing something with it with partnership with other people.� To research some of the trends rural teens' exhibit, a rural youth survey was put online until mid may. The results will be shared with the parents in attendance. Other issues like mental health and drug prevention will be also covered by experts. The survey was important to get a snapshot to the life of West Carleton teens. "We felt rural kids were not being included the way they should be,� said McKercher. "There wasn't the representation that we wanted to see.� It allows various organizations to get concrete information on specific communities that
can be used to develop tailored programs. The survey is still accepting results and asks questions on park and recreation programs, health resources and events as well as collecting the typical geographical data. The event is put on by the West Ottawa Community Resource Centre, the Bay Community
Connection, Youth Net and the city of Ottawa. The rural youth survey can be found at www. surveymonkey.com/s/rural-suburban-youth and participants can win a $50 gift certificate. For questions on the event or the survey, please contact Julie McKercher at 613.591.3686 x 498 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Race car artist donates to CHEO Continued from front
ALEXIS PATRASCU a real race car. He needed an artist. That's when Thompson put word out to area primary and secondary schools, asking for designs in exchange for a donation to a charity of
their choosing. Serendipity took over from there. Alexis' entry was yellow, her mother's and coincidentally Thompson's favourite colour. It was number 5, Thompson's birth day. It had flames, which appealed to Thompson's alter ego. And the flames are somewhat abstract, perhaps inaccurate in Alexis' eye, but something that captured Thompson's imagination. It won the design. "I was really happy he picked mine,� Alexis said, surrounded by her many new friends on a sunny May 8 at Venta. "I'm donating it all to CHEO, to all the kids that need it.� R0012028027/0411
He eventually left for Sudbury and England with his mother, returned to the area, and took up regular work at a regular job. But the nagging itch to drive stayed with him. "I go around in circles and get scared,� he said, laughingly. "I needed to go as fast as possible, and just make sure I could stop when I needed to stop.� Hence two years ago, without any skill or experience in mechanical work, Thompson bought a car and began to race at Capital City Speedway. He did all right. Attracted some attention. But it was time to transform the car into

DEREK DUNN Valley fish tales
They yank him to the side of the boat. Friend 2, with the best of intentions, reaches in with the net to scoop up the fish. It isn't a hard job, but he doesn't need to hear that one more time. So he reaches over the side to net the beast. That's when it happened. Friend 2 accidently knocks the lure out of the fish's mouth with the rim of the net. Disbelief descends. The fish slides back to its dark netherworld. Picture the look on Friend 1's face and it will resemble the look on every Leafs' fan at the end of every season for the last almost 50 years. The only difference is that Friend 1 missed a better opportunity to win the Cup. "He ended up getting a better one later in the day, so you could say they made it up,� Ferguson said. "But at the time you had to chuckle a little bit.� WEIGHING THE ODDS
Mike Van Denberg of Renegade Bass in Ottawa has a bizarre story that took place at
what seems like the site of every fishing show on TV: Bay of Quinte. The radio show host has a ton of stories about guys who catch the tournament winner with just 10 minutes left on the clock, and the like. But this is a story of Mike and a buddy travelling down to Belleville for late-season trophy walleye. You can expect a bit of friendly competition. These are experienced anglers who are always on. The fish typically weigh in around 10 pounds in Quinte. Anything from 10 to 13 pounds is a decent fish. But when the bait fish seemed to gain about 14 pounds, Mike and Co. got really excited. "That's a really monstrous fish, I said (to Richard Sykes). It was pushing 15 pounds.� Trolling was cut; the boat brought round to make nice with Mr. Walleye. But the closer they got, the bigger it grew. By the time Mike and Richard hauled it in and weighed it up, they were beyond enamoured. "It was 16.6 pounds, and really nice colours,� Mike re-
called. Keep the measurement in mind. 16.6 pounds, exactly. Because after returning to Ottawa, taking a bit of ribbing from his friend, admiring the monster that was mounted and on prominent display, a year would pass before that number would come up again. "In '05 we went back, and I was the lucky one,� Mike said. "We got another walleye to the side (of the boat) and it weighed in at exactly 16.6 pounds.� Even today Mike doesn't wish he had another ounce on his fish, maybe a midmorning snack before taking on his lure. He is okay with what the fishing gods provide. "I was ecstatic. I thought it was great.� The one difference? Mike didn't mount his fish. He's holding out for the next. "I'll mount one, but it will have to bigger,� he said with a laugh. SHARE YOUR STORY
Do you have a fish story sure to entertain readers throughout the Ottawa Valley? It has to be true and it has to be short. But after that it's up to you. Give Derek Dunn a call at 613.623.6571 or email derek. firstname.lastname@example.com. He'll jot it down for an upcoming Valley Fish Tales.

EMC lifestyle – It must have looked like something out of a black-and-white comedy from the silent movie era. Three men out on the Ottawa; two none too pleased after what recently transpired. The two are at furthest reaches of the boat. A solid three hours of silence, needless to say, has put a damper on things. Poor Ron Ferguson, the friends' guide, is in the figurative middle getting bombarded with grumbling and dirty looks. It's a stormy and rainy and miserable day on top of it all. A crappy day last September. The kind of day a fishing guide earns his keep by fighting endless wind, ferreting out lunkers, and keeping friends from pummeling one another. Irish Creek Outfitters owner Ferguson wouldn't have it any other way. "It's kinda funny to see two adult guys that are mad at each other over a fish,� recalled the Renfrew-area guide. "The two lads came out for a good time.� It started early on in the trip when Ferguson was busy keeping the boat from bumping up against rocks. Friend 1 nabs a muskie in the 54-55 inch range. It even uncharacteristically jumped out of the water, prompting all on board to do the jittery little dance that always happens when making room to welcome a monster aboard.

Let's revel in Sens fever
he signs of spring are many in Ottawa. Tulips are in bloom, joggers and cyclists are more common sights along the canal and restaurant patios are once again becoming an afternoon destination. There's definitely something else in the air this spring, however. There are a few more little red flags perched on the tops of cars, there are a more red T-shirts and jerseys marked by a distinctive Spartan logo adorning passers-by, and the streets and shops are a little more barren at around 7 p.m. every other evening. Yes, hockey fever has hit Ottawa a bit harder this spring. The Ottawa Senators eased past the Montreal Canadiens in five games last week, including a pair of raucous encounters at Scotiabank Place. For those without tickets, fans filled bars, restaurants and living rooms across the city to watch games on TV. The Sens Mile, the nickname given to Elgin Street come playoff time, is once again an exuberant, festive gathering place for both hardcore fans and fair-weather faithful alike. Securing passage to the second round of the National Hockey League playoffs will only draw larger crowds.
The city once dubbed the worst sports city in Canada is once again showing how off the mark such a comment was. It is times like these, when a city institution becomes something more than just a local curiosity, that the true value of sports teams becomes apparent. It turns everyone wearing Senators garb into a friendly face. It gives everyone at school or the office a chance to talk about something that is exciting and current, allowing people to cast aside their everyday worries and fears for a few fleeting weeks. But it doesn't happen every year – the last time the Senators won a playoff round was 2007, when they reached the Stanley Cup final – and it only occurs in the springtime. Ottawans have only one hometown rooting interest when it comes to professional team sports so far, but that's about to change. By the end of 2014, there will be a couple more players on the block in the form of Canadian Football League and North American Soccer League franchises. It will take a while for Ottawa fans to warm to their new clubs, but all it will likely take is a good postseason run to capture the sporting imagination. Let's enjoy these days: they are part of what adds a splash of colour to the fabric of our city.
You can't hear the birds sing by the parkway
s much as people would like to have the whole thing over with, it's likely that the public controversy over the west-end LRT route will go on and on. Already, city council's vote on the subject has been delayed by more than a month. Ostensibly that's to allow for more community consultation. You can bet that more delays are to come. Rome wasn't paved in a day. So we can talk about it some more. Today, let's talk about the romanticizing of the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway – or the Western Parkway, as it used to be known in less politicized times. To hear the National Capital Commission discuss it, in dismissing any talk of trains on the route, the parkway is one step removed from a wildlife refuge: a sea of green beside the river, the quiet broken only by the sounds of birds singing, the only signs of movement the leisurely pace of walkers and the silent glide of bicyclists. Clearly, in the NCC's view, to put trains there would be to destroy a beauteous ecosystem. Well, the NCC hasn't been out there when people are heading in to work in the morning and heading home in the afternoon. Then,
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town instead of a sea of green, it becomes a sea of cars, ripping along at 80 kilometres per hour, often more, except when they are jammed up into long, motionless, exhaust-spewing lines waiting to turn onto the Champlain Bridge. Oh, yes, and buses, lots of buses, also disturb the wildlife refuge. It thins out quite a bit during off-peak hours and on the weekends, but the parkway is still the preferred route downtown for a lot of west-enders. In many ways, whatever its noble origins, whatever the lofty ideals of those who manage it, the parkway has become just a road, just another thing named after Sir John A. It is not sacred ground. Perhaps it once was. I should note that I live about a seven-minPublished weekly by:

ute walk from the proposed Byron Tramway tunnel. I don't think it's going to affect my life in any way and I actually don't mind the idea all that much. But there are many who live closer who do, particularly those whose properties back onto the narrow strip by the parkway where the city proposes to put tracks. Others who live along Byron face a serious inconvenience, at least during the construction period if not after. Of course, people are always inconvenienced when a major project goes ahead. Some of us are called on to make sacrifices for the greater good. If, however, the decision was made to use the parkway for light rail, hooking up with the Transitway at its western end, only the NCC would be inconvenienced. That western end of the parkway is at quite a remove from residential properties and those who inhabit those properties are used to having hundreds of buses go by. The NCC would survive, you can be sure of that, perhaps turning its attentions to other projects that might improve the life of residents of the capital area. Speaking of which, is anything else ever going to happen on LeBreton Flats? Those who oppose light rail on the parkway and don't like the Richmond-Byron alter-

native either, have strongly supported Carling Avenue as a light rail route. It can certainly be argued that the street is such a mess anyway that nothing could make it worse. So why not put light rail there? However, a convincing case has been set out, most recently in a lengthy Citizen article, that a light rail route using Carling would be logistically difficult in spots and prohibitively expensive, unless construction involved no bridges or tunnels. With the number of stoplights involved, the speed attained would be no greater than a streetcar. Hmmm, streetcars. Don't some other cities have those? Don't we wish we still did?

Push MPPs to pass consumer protection act To the editor: I read with interest John Carter's piece 'Beware water heater sales pitch, resident warns' (Chronicle-Guide, April 25). The Homeowner Protection Centre (HPC) launched a new website on Thursday, April 18 with the purpose of giving Ontario consumers a much needed voice and to encourage government to enact changes that offer protection from door-to-door water heater sales. The site www.waterheaterdoortodoor.com offers tips on consumer rights when it comes to door-to-door salespeople. It also has a section for Ontario consumers to share their stories about unethical tactics used by door-to-door
salespeople. HPC is pleased that Bill 55, Stronger Protection for Ontario Consumers Act, was introduced on Thursday, April 17. Now, Ontario consumers need to encourage all three political parties to pass Bill 55 quickly. Ontario consumers may do this by visiting the site and sending a letter to their local MPP to ask them to pass Bill 55 quickly. If it isn't passed soon there is concern that these salespeople will step up their tactics to sign up as many people as possible before the Bill 55 is passed. This is especially disconcerting given that these salespeople often focus on vulnerable citizens, such as seniors. These new rules help to maintain a fair, safe
and informed marketplace. It is essential that the citizens of Ontario feel that they can open their door without being pressured to make a large financial commitment without all the facts
or the necessary time to make an informed decision. Michael Lio, Executive Director Homeowner Protection Centre.
Get cracking to make Canada a major nut producing country To the editor:
Web Poll THIS WEEK'S POLL QUESTION:
Do you think a Senators playoff run helps to raise community spirit in Ottawa?
A) Definitely. 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 playoffs had started. Is that what all the hubbub is about? PREVIOUS POLL SUMMARY:
What do you think the city should do with the empty Ottawa Stadium?
A) Use it to host Little League baseball and men's league and family events.
B) Use the hiatus of no professional baseball to renvoate the stadium and fix up the surrounding area.
C) Explore the possibliity of using space, such as the parking lot, for development. D) Not a thing. Just wait for the return of AA baseball, hopefully next season.

There are so many mature edible nuts trees in Ottawa cropping annually that its urban forest should be called in truth an urban 'agroforest'. Many species of edible treenuts grow hereabouts. Now you can learn the HOWTOs of finding, harvesting and using these free edible nuts from Ottawa nut trees, likely growing even in your own neighbourhood. Here is the skinny... the upcoming 'Permaculture Ottawa Urban Treenuts Processing Workshop 2013'. It is a Show and Tell about processing tree nut crops harvested from landscape trees growing in Ottawa's urban agroforest. Nuts, equipment, storage, cracking, husking, hulling, recipes, uses, web sources, literature, and more. The workshop will prepare you to harvest and use Ottawa tree nuts, starting this crop year. You find the details at treenutsworkshop.eventbrite. ca. Remember that half billion we spend annually outside Canada? Well, by switching to nuts grown in Canada, most of that money could stay at home, creating quality jobs, generating local income, and feeding us better food. Who is leading the way to this food renaissance? Surprise, surprise! Why our urban forests are, with their large populations of edible nut trees quietly cropping every year. And not one of our municipal governments has twigged yet. So what's next? Why, lets you and me get cracking! Hope to meet you at the upcoming 'Permaculture Ottawa Urban Treenuts Processing Workshop 2013'. Canada can become a major edible nut producing country. Hank Jones Constance Bay
Canada grows nuts! Dietitians today frequently remind us to eat more nuts every day; that edible nuts are so nutritious. Good advice. Canada imports a half billion dollars worth of edible nuts annually. That is 99.99 per cent of all the nuts we eat yearly. Fair enough. But... where does that other 0.01 per cent come from?
Why, Canada, of course! Who knew Canada grows nuts! Well, its one of our best kept secrets. There are a few commercial nut groves in Canada, growing in the warmth along our southern border. But, our Canadian landscape has umpteen edible nut trees growing across our country. Mostly in our urban forests, believe it or not. Take just the City of Ottawa's urban forest, for example.

I looked to see water two-year-olds are wandering after frothing and two animals fighting. They separated and a large Beabeing evicted from their colonies.

EMC lifestyle - Spring seems to be quietly slipping into summer. Carpets of stunning spring ephemerals – Bloodroots, Spring Beauties, and Hepaticas – have been replaced by shade from overhead tree leaves. Many birds are building nests or sitting on eggs. And territories are being hotly disputed. A territory is a piece of habitat claimed by an animal and defended against others of its kind, usually its own sex. When robins battle or cardinals relentlessly attack their reflection in windows, it is a male territory owner driving off an intruder. Declarations of territory ownership can be made vocally, which is one reason wolves howl and songbirds sing. They can be olfactory declarations; many animals deposit smelly chemicals at strategic locations along territory boundaries. When intrusions occur, the territorial male inevitably becomes aggressive. Usually the intruder submits and departs, avoiding physical interaction that might cause injury. Beavers are colonial animals that maintain territories year-round. They post "no trespassing" notices by creating mud piles on which they secrete special chemicals. Scent mounds are located along the shore or atop rocks and dams, and marking occurs frequently in spring,

floated for a while before vanishing. The victor climbed up on the opposite bank and for half an hour sat whimpering and periodically shaking. Its left forearm was held at a peculiar angle and I could see that it had been bitten in its left shoulder. The victor eventually waddled into the water. It swam upstream, going ashore several times to scent mark. At the last site it carried and dropped a load of mud over which it squatted and squirted chemicals. When it swam farther upstream, I raced to an opening across the creek from its scent mound and squatted motionless. I heard a tail slap and soon the Beaver swam past me. It slapped twice more, once where the fight had occurred, before returning upstream. It dove and climbed ashore directly across from me. It dropped a load of mud and scent marked it before returning to the water and vanishing upstream. Fighting has been rarely observed in Beavers, so I was most fortunate to have documented it photographically. Fighting is a last resort for any territorial animal, done only when an intruder refuses to leave. While territorial intrusions never end amicably, seldom does serious fighting ensue. The reason for this was clearly revealed by the Beavers: victors and intruders can both end up severely wounded. Or worse. The Nature number is 613-3872503; email is email@example.com.

Leapin' lambs all over the place DIANA FISHER Accidental Farmwife EMC lifestyle - It always amazes me to see how truly fat a sheep can get just from eating grass and hay. Rambo is the fattest of them all, because he doesn't have to go through childbirth and lactating. That can take a lot out of a sheep. So as soon as the green grass starts to pop up, we try to get the sheep out of the barn. First the Farmer likes to shear them. May is perfect because although the blackflies can be a little nasty, the mosquitoes aren't too thick yet and there isn't as much chance of sunburn. Their new fleece will come in and protect them from the bugs and sun in just a few short weeks. So he took a week off, tackled a few sheep each day and gave them their salon treatments. Shearing, hoof trim, 18-point check stem to stern. Then out they went to the open barnyard and beyond that, the fresh green of the pasture. The lambs were released as their mothers were. Once out on the loose, many of the ewes became preoccupied and distracted and lost track of their young. That first week, the sun beat down and the lambs became weak and tired from trying to keep up with their mothers. One lay down and might have had a touch of heat stroke. It didn't try to get up when the Farmer approached. He picked it up and fed it a bottle of water. The next morning, just before dawn, I went out to the barn where the sheep were sleeping and locked them back in. We decided to give them a few more days inside to remind them that they were mothers and they had little ones to feed. It also reminded the little ones where to find water to drink if they couldn't find their mothers in a hurry. When it cooled off again
outside, we let them back out. This year I have one lamb on the bottle. He was disowned at birth for whatever reason. Maybe he never clued in that the milk is under the mama. In any case, the only reason he is alive is the bottle of milk replacer I bring him every morning and night. He has a fat belly but it is obvious he isn't well nourished because he has a bony back. There is nothing like mother's milk to fatten up a lamb. This little one, who I call Chicken (I call all the lambs Chicken) needs to be on the green grass more than any of them. I found Chicken alone in the barn, nibbling on the end of his baby bottle which was strapped to its wire holder on the wall. All the other sheep had been let outside. No sheep likes to be alone. Normally very calm and cuddly, he nervously ran around the pen as I tried to catch him. He knickered and whined and when I finally caught him his little body shook with fear in my arms. I brought him outside and he blinked in the bright daylight. I reassured him, talking calmly and soothingly. When I put him on the ground I held him for a moment, then let him go. He ran a few feet, then back into my arms. I went back into the barn to feed the cats and I could feel him following, and hear him knickering to himself, just a few feet behind me. The rest of the herd came back to the barn just then for their midday nap. This comforted him, and as I left the barn he was tucked in the corner, curled up beside his cousins. Later in the day I went out to see how Chicken was doing. He was out in the barnyard, curled up beside the cow gate and a big boulder. He kept licking the boulder. Must have been salty. He came over and nibbled on the bottle but wouldn't drink any. This is the first time he hasn't been voraciously hungry and enthusiastic about the bottle. I'm a little worried, but maybe the new grass and soil and rocks he is tasting has curbed his appetite for now. I will go back out when they are all in the barn and see if I can get him to drink again. When I left him he was quietly moving from tiny family to tiny family, introducing himself. Hopefully he will learn to steal milk as the others do, and discover the taste of fresh green grass. firstname.lastname@example.com www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com.
Bear! What to do? EMC news - The Ministry of Natural Resources is working collaboratively with the Ontario Provincial Police and local police services to protect public safety and educate communities across Ontario about black bear behaviour. Black bears that come into a populated area aren't always a threat to public safety. This fact sheet explains who to contact about encounters with black bears. Call 911 if a black bear poses an immediate threat to personal safety by exhibiting threatening or aggressive behaviour, such as: • Entering a school yard when school is in session; • Stalking people and is lingering at the site; • Entering or trying to enter a residence; • Wandering into a public gathering; • Killing livestock/pets and is lingering at the site. Police are the first responder for any emergency situation. At the request of police, MNR will respond to emergency situations to assist. Call the toll-free Bear Wise reporting line at 1-866-5142327 (TTY 705-945-7641) if a black bear is: • Roaming around, checking garbage cans; • Breaking into a shed where garbage or food is stored; • In a tree; • Pulling down a bird feeder or knocking over a barbecue; • Moving through a backyard or field but is not lingering. This line operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week from April 1 until Nov. 30. Trained staff can provide advice about black bear behaviour, how to avoid human-bear conflicts, and how to remove attractants from property. Even if they're not causing a threat to public safety, black bears should be discouraged from staying in populated areas. People can take steps on their property and in their neighbourhood to avoid attracting black bears into populated areas. Visit ontario.ca/bearwise for tips and to learn about bears. The Ministry of Natural Resources would like to thank the many people who are already eliminating attractants. It takes only one property where attractants are not managed carefully to draw bears to a neighbourhood. Everyone must work together to keep black bears in the wild where they belong.

New rules for pools EMC news - The City of Ottawa's new backyard pool safety rules are now in effect. The new rules are contained in a bylaw passed by council earlier this year.
Under the bylaw, all pool owners must now ensure pool enclosure gates are self-closing, self-latching and locked at all times, except when the pool area is in use. Existing pool enclosures installed with a permit remain compliant, but must be locked when the pool area is not in use. All new and replacement pool enclosures must comply with the new bylaw. The bylaw has also updated fencing requirements for pools (including wading pools), hot tubs and fish ponds.
Requirements vary, so pool owners and prospective pool owners are encouraged to review the changes at ottawa.ca. Throughout the spring and summer, the city and its partners will be informing the public about water safety and reminding residents to always keep children within arms' reach around and in the water. The ciy will be inspecting pool enclosures in some neighbourhoods this summer to advise residents about the requirements of the new bylaw. For more information on water safety, visit ottawa.ca.

Keep bikes safe from theft
EMC sports - According to Transport Canada, more than 14 million Canadians ride bicycles. As many cyclists know, bike theft is a common problem, with more than 100,000 bikes reported stolen a year. It can take less than 30 seconds for someone to grab one off the street. May is Bike Safety Month. Here are a few tips:
Honesty • Integrity • Caring

• Many Canadian police services have a bike registry where owners can submit their bike's information online or by mail. The registry helps police identify the bike if it's recovered. Riders should also keep a record of their bike's model number, manufacturer's name, serial number and a photograph of the bike. • Owners should check their insurance policy about coverage for their bike. Many people don't realize that a bicycle, up to a certain amount, can be covered on their tenant or home insurance policy—even if it is taken from a public place. More expensive bikes can be covered with an additional policy that's added to the home policy. Additional resources and information can be found at goodhandsadvice.ca.

Staging a new business in West Carleton Patricia Leboeuf email@example.com
EMC business - If you are getting ready to sell your home but don't think your decorating taste can hold up to scrutiny, a new West Carleton business may be able to help. The Next Stage, home staging and redesign, is a business for home owners or for real estate agents that just want to add that extra pizzazz to a structurally beautiful home, but whose dÊcor is underwhelming. "Basically it's really doing it on a budget,� said owner Jane Boucher. "It's to help home owners present their home in a way that it reaches a wider audience as far as buyers are concerned.� "It makes for a faster, more profitable sale to their home,� she added. It's located out of Fitzroy Harbour, but services all of the area including up to Renfrew. Though she may be following her passion now, it hasn't always been the case. NEEDING A PASSION
Ward 5 West Carleton-March FREE DENTAL SCREENING & DENTURE CLEANING CLINIC
Following her passion for interior decorating, Jane Boucher launched her new staging business. It will cater to people in the area up to Renfrew.

The City of Ottawa's new backyard pool safety rules are now in effect and are contained in a By-law passed by Council earlier this year (Pool Enclosure By-law No. 2013-39). Under the By-law, all pool owners must now ensure pool enclosure gates are self-closing, selflatching and locked at all times, except when the pool area is in use. Existing pool enclosures installed with a permit remain compliant, but must be locked when the pool area is not in use. All new and replacement pool enclosures must comply with the new By-law. The By-law has also updated fencing requirements for pools (including wading pools), hot tubs and ďŹ sh ponds. Requirements vary, so pool owners and prospective pool owners are encouraged to review the changes at ottawa.ca.

Ottawa Public Health and the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC) will be hosting an ongoing Dental Screening and Denture Cleaning Clinic beginning on May 21. This service is open to all ages and is free of charge. No appointment necessary but is on a ďŹ rst come, ďŹ rst service basis. The Clinic will run on the third Tuesday of every month from 9am to 11am at the WOCRC ofďŹ ce, 2 McNeil Court, Kanata. Services provided include dental health info, uoride varnish applications, denture cleaning and Healthy Smiles Ontario enrolment. For more information contact Ottawa Public Health at 613580-6744.
Boucher was in the heavy construction equipment industry for about 13 years, but knew something was missing. "It came to the point where I really wanted to get out and do something that I truly had an interest in,� said Boucher. "I didn't grow up having a passion for heavy equipment. I
just fell into it.� With the help of the small business owners programs, she managed to open her own business in March. These programs let her discover her own potential, guiding her through the necessary paths and helping her figure out a business plan. It was a large step for her to take. "There were a lot of days that I woke up and thought 'What am I doing?'� said Boucher. "It's certainly a struggle,� she added. "I was working full time employed with benefits and everything else and right now I'm certainly struggling but determined to get this business to work.� Her personal experience helping friends and family with their dÊcor helped ease her mind during the transition from unemployed to small business owner. "I've always been able to do a really good job designing and decorating and have always been able to do it on a really good budget,� said Boucher. She figured she could pass to skills on to home owners so that money that they are spending is going to the right spots.

with Clean Eating and Active Living Eat Clean…
Burn Fat
Eating clean is simply the practice of avoiding processed and refined foods and basing your diet on whole foods. Whole foods include foods that are found in their natural state, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, grass-fed and free-range meats, wild fish, unsalted nuts, and seeds. The health benefits include the prevention of lifestyle diseases, losing weight and just feeling better! Relaxing, laughing and living is also a part of being well, so feel good by applying this 80% of the time and kicking back and enjoy the other 20% of the time.
Eat Your Breakfast – Those who eat breakfast have a waistline about 2 inches smaller! Make sure to eat within 90 minutes of waking up to make this work! Snack Regularly – If you wait too long between meals, your metabolism will slow down, causing your body to burn less fat than normal. Eat every 3 hours! Drink Green Tea – Drink at least 3 cups of green tea a day! Drink Enough Water – Women should drink about 9 cups a day and men about 12 cups. Pump Some Iron – Strength training speeds up your metabolism, burns calories and sculpts sexy muscles. You should make strength training about 60% of your exercise routine! Clock Your Sets – To burn fat faster while you strength train, limit the time between sets. Shorter rests keeps your metabolism going and your heart rate up!
Be Lean
Include clean foods like avocado with anti-aging rich antioxidants. Avocados contain monounsaturated (good) fats which can help reverse insulin resistance and help regulate blood sugar levels. They also help us increase the absorption of other fat soluble nutrients such as eye friendly beta carotene, by up to 5 times!

Dealing with childhood obesity Jessica Cunha email@example.com
EMC news - A report on the health of Ontario's youth finds that 75 per cent of overweight children become obese adults, said Alex Munter, CEO and president of the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Munter co-chaired the Healthy Kids Panel, which released the report "No Time to Wait: the Healthy Kids Strategy." He presented the findings during a community meeting of the Ottawa Board of Health at the Jim Durrell Centre on May 6. "We spoke to a lot of parents, a lot of families and a lot of youth," he said, adding the panel heard from more than 2,000 parents. "This is not an issue where we're going to be exercising out way out of it." The panel developed a three-pronged approach to address the issue of obesity in children: • Start all children on the path to health: enhance pre-natal care and promote infant health, including breastfeeding • Change the food environment: increase the availability of healthy foods and expand nutrition programs in schools • Create healthy communities: encourage healthy eating and active living "Parents by and large know what they need to do and are believably committed to the health of their child," said Munter. "This can't be done without public health." In 2009, the direct and indirect cost to health care in Ontario due to obesity was $4.5 billion, he said. The report states that if nothing is done, "the current generation of children will develop chronic illnesses much younger and be more affected as they age. The cost of obesity will grow, impacting our ability to fund other programs and services." So far, 20 out of the 23 recommendations made by the panel already have programming underway, said Munter.

Emerson has big ideas for Grampa's visit to Northcote EMC lifestyle - We were soon to find out why Emerson was so anxious for a visit from Grampa, who lived in Ottawa and came out to Northcote often. He drove a car with a rumble seat in it, and he never failed to pile us five kids in the back, and tear down the Northcote Side Road like someone possessed. Only three could sit on the seat at one time, so two of us had to crouch on the floor. That was usually Earl and me. But Grampa always stopped at Briscoe's General Store to buy us penny candy, and that's when he made us change places, so that we each got a turn on the seat. I thought it was a car like no other. The running boards had real rubber on them, and there was a little patch of rubber over the back fender where you stepped to gain entry to the rumble seat. And along the roof, inside the car, there were two hooks, and on these hooks Grampa carried a long black umbrella. It was the biggest umbrella I had ever seen. He said he used it if rained while he was lawn bowling in Westboro. When Grampa visited, and after we had had our ride down the Northcote Side Road, he spent the rest of his time with Mother, his only daughter, who he thought didn't belong on a farm in the backwoods of Renfrew County. It was on one of those visits that Emerson was more anxious than usual to get our ride over with, and see Grampa settled in the kitchen with Mother. He made sure the teacups were on the kitchen table, the kettle was boiling on the Findlay Oval, and he knew Grampa would be in the kitchen for a spell. I saw him go over to the car, and open the door on the driver's side, and gently take the big black umbrella down off the hooks. I had no idea what he had in mind, because it certainly wasn't raining, and it was as hot as blazes with not a cloud in the sky. It didn't take Emerson long to drag me into the mystery, by telling me I was going to have the experience of a lifetime. One I would never forget. Little did I know how truthful those words would turn out to be!
Mary Cook's Memories MARY COOK
If I had had an ounce of brains, I would have headed for the hay loft. But Emerson made this venture sound so exciting, I was soon waiting to see what he had in mind. We went behind the house where the summer kitchen was attached to the wood shed. Father kept a stepladder there to patch the roof when the leaks got so bad Mother threatened to head back to New York if he didn't fix them. The shed roof was flat as a plate, and Emerson said it was from that very roof I was going to have the experience of a lifetime. Had I been a bit smarter, I would have known what he was up to ... with the big black umbrella in his hand, ordering me up the ladder. He was right behind me, making it impossible for me to change my mind. He opened the umbrella, which I thought was as big as a tent, and ushered me to the very back of the shed roof. He took a piece of paper out of his overall's pocket. He unfolded it, and scanned it as if it held some important information. All I could see was a bunch of lines, and what looked like clouds. Emerson squinted, and spit on his thumb and held it in the air. I had no idea what he was doing. "Perfect," he said. "Now you hold this umbrella as high as you can over your head. And run ... and I mean run, and when you hit the end of the roof, you'll go sailing off just like an aeroplane. The umbrella will carry you. I'd love to do it first, but I think I'm a bit too heavy. According to my drawings, you are the perfect weight to go soaring through the air. And don't worry about landing, you'll lit in the grass beside the pump."
I looked at my brother, and looked at the roof, and looked up into the open umbrella, and before I could voice my objections, Emerson gave me a shove, and I was off and running. I hit the edge of the roof in two seconds, and me and umbrella were airborne. Well, it didn't take long for the umbrella to collapse like a piece of newspaper, and I landed on the hard ground, miles away from the green grass around the pump, with the umbrella covering me like a tarpaulin. I was sure I had broken every bone in my body! Father was just coming out of the barn to witness my flight, and he was over to the shed in a shake. Emerson was nowhere to be seen. My knees were covered with dirt, I skinned my hand on landing, and Father determined there were no broken bones. He picked up the broken umbrella and walked around the shed to the kitchen. I was right behind him. Without any explanation, he handed Grampa the umbrella, and all he said was: "Sometimes I think that lad doesn't have the brains God gave a goose."I looked at my brother, and looked at the roof, and looked up into the open umbrella, and before I could voice my objections, Emerson gave me a shove, and I was off and running.

City rejects opening baseball stadium to community Laura Mueller firstname.lastname@example.com
EMC news - A former Ottawa baseball team's general manager says Ottawa is failing its kids by not opening up its baseball stadium this summer.
Duncan MacDonald, who used to run the Intercounty Baseball League Ottawa Fat Cats, says the city has rejected his offer to re-open and manage the stadium for community baseball and events this summer. The stadium could sit unused this summer after the city failed to renew the Fat Cats' lease
so it could keep the facility available for renovations needed to upgrade it for AA baseball. But so far, no AA team has materialized for Ottawa, leaving the renovation schedule unclear. Instead of mothballing the stadium, MacDonald and his company, Marketing Breakthroughs, proposed the city hire them to manage the facility for the summer. Their plan includes hosting family fun days, baseball camps for Little League players and hosting National Capital Baseball League adult games. But the city isn't biting, MacDonald said. He received an email from the city's general manager of parks and recreation saying that the city might have some occasional programming at the stadium throughout the summer, but it wants to keep the schedule flexible to accommodate repairs and upgrades. Meanwhile, Little League teams are emailing him to say they have to turn kids away because there is a shortage of diamond space. "We have a waiting list for Little League," MacDonald said. "We have failed our kids." The Fat Cats re-ignited enthusiasm for baseball in Ottawa, MacDonald said, and now the city's Little League teams can't keep up with the demand. "Now, we can't even get enough respect for them to consider our proposal," MacDonald said. According to the email MacDonald shared, the city official wrote: "…we will not be looking to attract seasonal or league play or any organized activities that will require regular and
continual use throughout the summer. Rather, we will focus on booking tournaments and other suitable activities that will be consistent with the site and do not cause undo damage to the field or facility." Another issue is that the proposal is unsolicited and sole-sourced – a problem from the city's perspective, MacDonald said. He said he doesn't agree with the explanations the city is providing. "So why not do a tender?" he asked. That's not in the works, according to the email from the city parks and rec manager. "Because of this approach, we will not be issuing a request for proposal to hire a facility management company to animate the stadium and will coordinate any bookings through the city's existing allocations unit," the email reads. MacDonald said the city underestimated how difficult it would be to find investors to support AA baseball in Ottawa and he doesn't believe local investors are willing to step up to the plate and take the risk. A Champions for Ottawa Baseball drive for season's tickets deposits for a future AA team mostly relied on soliciting local businesses for support, MacDonald claimed. "That's not the groundswell of community support," he said. MacDonald wouldn't say what his next step on the proposal will be, but he said, "we're not done." "Somebody has to speak up for baseball in the community," he said.

Friends paddle Carp River to raise funds for rehabilitation EMC news - The Carp River is on course to receive up to $50,000 to support stewardship activities through the Shell Fuelling Change program. The Mississippi Valley Conservation Foundation (MVCF) is supporting a joint project of Mississippi Valley Conservation (MVC) and the Friends of the Carp River (FCR) to rehabilitate and promote stewardship actions along the Carp River, an important waterbody within the City of Ottawa. "The Carp River plays a key ecological role in the western part of the city, and it outlets directly to the Ottawa River, the capital's drinking water source," says Matt Craig, MVC planning manager. "This funding would allow us to get started on the highest priority actions identified through an assessment completed in 2012. The sooner we can get started, the better for the health of the river," Craig adds. The Carp River Action Plan was the culmination of efforts between both MVC and the FCR to identify environmental issues and remedial solutions along the Carp River using their combined expertise and passion for the river to make a significant difference in its health and function. The plan's improvement and support initiatives will enhance the river's ecological function for both an environmental and human benefit. "The appeal of this project is the successful working relationship between the conservation authority, and volunteer action groups, like The Friends of the Carp River, to address common concerns and work toward effective solutions. This partnership has caught the attention of our local politicians who have been very positive about our efforts," says FCR President Janet Mason a long-time supporter of the river and key contributor to the action plan. The Shell Fuelling Change grant is vote dependent with voting starting now and ending Oct. 31. Supporters can vote online via website, social media and when you buy gas or products at Shell stations. The project is focused on a stretch of the river from the Village of Carp to Richardson Side Road - an area not included in other rehabilitation projects.
A joint project between the Mississippi Valley Conservation Foundation, the Mississippi Valley Conservation and the Friends of the Carp River may receive up to $50,000 for rehabilitate and protect the Carp River. The river is well used by kayakers and paddlers. Landowner stewardship initiatives coupled with blockage removal and shoreline restoration projects aim to improve the river's flow and water quality conditions. These projects aim to restore the river as much as possible from its current state to a more natural system with improved habitat and water quality. This will significantly enhance the Carp River watershed and expand its appeal to recreational users for fishing, paddling and nature appreciation. The project also includes an urban stream monitoring program that will measure water quality and quantity over several years to track changes and trends in the Carp and its tributaries, such as Poole Creek.
Eligible projects need to collect the most votes in order to receive their requested amount. The Carp River Action Plan is listed on fuellingchange.com. When you buy gas if you fuel up at Shell, you can redeem codes for votes, then browse the projects online at fuellingchange.com and vote for Carp River Action Plan in the Water category. You can also add votes by choosing your "Favourite" projects; subscribing to project updates; telling your friends on Facebook; and tweeting your votes. All of this garners more votes for you to as-

NDP bill to make independent budget officer of parliament "This legislation from the Leader of the Official Opposition will finally deliver on the Conservative Party's 2006 campaign promise,â€? continued Thomas. The Conservatives were elected in the wake of the Sponsorship Scandal on a promise to pass an Accountability Act that would, in their own words from their official campaign platform: • Create an independent Parliamentary Budget Authority to provide objective analysis directly to Parliament about the state of the nation's finances and trends in the national economy. • Require government departments and agencies to provide accurate, timely information to
pointment, and the government would need to consult with all political parties prior to nominating a new PBO. A six month deadline for choosing a replacement at the end of the PBO's term would prevent the government from leaving the office vacant, as is the current situation. The bill would also discourage government stonewalling on requests for financial information, mandating "free and timely access to any data, information, records, explanations and assistance the PBO considers necessary� – the Federal Court could even order the government to hand over the data if the government is improperly withholding it. "To hold the line on spending, MPs need the government to open its books to the PBO,� said Thomas. Canadians are fed up with the stalling, stonewalling, grandstanding and game-playing. MPs need to support C-476 and make it law.�
EMC news - The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is calling on MPs from every political party to support the NDP's Bill C-476 when it comes up for debate this morning in the House of Commons, to make the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) a completely independent officer of Parliament. "The CTF has long called on MPs to make the PBO a fully-independent officer of Parliament,� said CTF Federal Director Gregory Thomas. "Taxpayers deserve a truly independent look at the $282.6 billion of spending schedule to flow out of Ottawa this year. The CTF also noted the unusual irony that this NDP bill, in fact, delivers on the Conservative's 2006 commitment.
the Parliamentary Budget Authority to ensure it has the information it needs to provide accurate analyses to Parliament. • Ensure that government fiscal forecasts are updated quarterly and that they provide complete data for both revenue and spending forecasts. "We call on every MP, especially Conservatives elected in 2006, to stand up for the independence of Canada's Parliament, and its sovereign duty to hold the government to account for every single taxpayer's dollar it spends,â€? said Thomas. Bill C-476 will separate the Parliamentary Budget Officer from the Library of Parliament, giving the PBO the power to hire and fire staff and manage the office's own expenditures, within the budget granted by the Parliament.

number of different criteria that is pre-set in order to arrange for a successful experience for all. One of the main criteria is that the participant and their family be open and committed to attend each of the weekly sessions. Attending each of the weekly sessions is important because each week builds on the one previous. A natural flow, or momentum, is created from the onset of group and carries through. The key to this process is, the participants are leading the way. As the facilitator of the group my role is not to intervene but to guide. It is in this spirit and natural flow that we modified this week's topic to be Respect. This purposeful approach accommodates not just the group environment but also allows for the unpredictability of kids!

Did you know that horses are used extensively in many mental health programs due to their intuitiveness and ability to read human emotion? With information on how to observe the body language of a horse the boys were tasked to catch a foal. After many attempts and in efforts to work together the boys were successful at catching the foal. That's not to say though that prior to the boys earning the respect of the horse that one or two didn't get a fancy little kick! This weekly group session was productive and enjoyed by all. The boy who cried? He eased right into group and left with a huge smile on his face! One can only imagine what this experience meant for him but his courage to return to group and enjoy it validates him as a person, it validated his emotions and will in turn empower him to be himself because he was accepted that way.

EMC news – It could be a dry long weekend. It could be a long dry summer. With no sign that the two sides will come together anytime soon, it appears that Liquor Control Board store employees will walk off the job this Friday, May 17 in the first strike in LCBO history. The members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) have begun to open 33 strike headquarters across the province in anticipation of a strike starting Friday. In response, LCBO management is advising customers to stock up prior to Friday. The union reiterated in media events Monday that the LCBO contract offer is unacceptable to workers. The key sticking point between the two is the LCBO's use of lower paid parttime workers, a growing and disturbing trend in many industries in Ontario, says the union. OPSEU president Warren (Smokey) Thomas said the union continues to work towards a "reasonable settlement" at the bargaining table, but is also preparing in case the LCBO refuses to move on key issues. "To reach an agreement, the LCBO must address the inequities of part-time work," said Thomas. "So far, the LCBO is ignoring the glaring wage and scheduling issues for parttime staff. This is unacceptable to us." Thomas maintains the first strike in the LCBO's 87-year history could be easily avoided. "There is no reason for part-time workers to make less money performing the same work as full-time employees," Thomas said. "There is no reason for part-time workers to go week-to-week without a schedule, and then
only work a few hours. "These members have a serious responsibility controlling alcohol sales for a corporation that earns more than $4 billion a year. We can easily reach an agreement that is reasonable for our members and the people of Ontario." The rise of part-time, temporary, unstable work in Ontario is the focus of a new ad campaign by the union. "Employers these days are driving big changes in the workplace that are making it harder and harder for people to make a living," said Thomas. "More and more jobs are being classified as part-time or temporary as employers with increasingly high profits continue to squeeze the people who make those profits possible," he added. "That's exactly what's happening at the LCBO, and the goal of our ad campaign is to inform the public that what we are bargaining for is what all working people want: the chance to live decently and give our kids what they need." More than 60 per cent of LCBO employees are 'casual' employees, with lower wages, few if any benefits, irregular hours, and an average annual income of $26,000, Thomas said. The LCBO earned $1.6 billion in profits last year. "These negotiations are really about what kind of Ontario we want to live in," Thomas said. "If high profits for big corporations don't translate into good jobs for people, something's got to be done." Meanwhile, the LCBO is urging customers to shop early to avoid a possible shutdown. All LCBO stores will be closed this Monday, Victoria Day. Like most other retailers, LCBO closes on the statutory holiday.

Infill study gets down to brass tacks Laura Mueller firstname.lastname@example.com
EMC news - After spending the past year focused on inďŹ ll parking issues, the city is ďŹ nally ready to tackle bulky homes that seem to tower over older neighbours. The second part of a study on how low-rise inďŹ ll homes ďŹ t into existing neighbourhood follows Part 1 of the study that sparked ire of developers and mostly garnered support from communities desperate to retain the feel of the neighbourhoods they love. The changes are aimed at cooling some of the tensions boil up when neighbours don't like the size of a new home being proposed where there wasn't one before, such as the practice of splitting up a lot that used to have one home and building two or three homes instead. While Part 1 looked at peripheral issues such as how vehicle access and parking is arranged and the retention of trees and green yards. Part 2 will get to the heart of the issue as many communities see it: how tall and large new homes can be compared to neighbouring dwellings and how far away they must be from adjacent
Part 2 will get to the heart of the issue as many communities see it: how tall and large new homes can be compared to neighbouring dwellings and how far away they must be from adjacent properties to the sides and rear. properties to the sides and rear.
"We need to have some sort of way to determine how we want to see the city,â€? said Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney said. "Is one three storey home on a street of bungalows making sense?â€? Those tensions are now creeping outwards into wards that were formerly outlying municipalities surrounding the old city of Ottawa, councillors say. Tierney's ward is one of several former suburban wards inside the Greenbelt that have been added to this phase of the inďŹ ll study. City staff agreed to include Bay, College, Knoxdale-Merivale, Beacon Hill-Cyrville and River wards and the rest of RideauVanier Ward east of the Rideau River in the study. "Issues that have been facing Sandy Hill for years are now facing my ward,â€? said Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney. Communities that used to be suburbs of Ottawa, like Carlington and Carleton Heights, are starting to be redeveloped, said River Coun. Maria McRae. That means they are facing the same challenges as urban neighbourhoods. "The inďŹ ll policy should not be the 'in kill' policy,â€? she said. "I want to get ahead of the curve on this,â€? she said. Many of the issues are leftover from amalgamation, Tierney said, such as zoning that allows different building heights on either side of Bathgate Street because it was a former municipal dividing line. Ideally, it would have been better to look at the issue sooner – at amalgamation, for instance – but taking a look at how inďŹ ll is affecting former suburban wards is better late than never, Tierney said. The city will be looking at the issue of allowing "discrete intensiďŹ cationâ€? on large properties that have small homes, often bungalows that were provided as housing for war veterans. That's a big issue in River Ward, McRae said, and people want to know what city planners' deďŹ nition of "discrete inten-
That's a big issue in River Ward, McRae said, and people want to know what city planners' definition of "discrete intensificationâ€? will be. siďŹ cationâ€? will be. For McRae, it means respecting the history and character of those communities. She wouldn't support replacing a bungalow with a nine-storey building, but a row of walk-up townhomes is something neighbours seem more OK with, she said. "We certainly don't support the decimation of these unique neighbourhoods,â€? McRae said, adding that the biggest issue for residents seems to be height – not necessarily intensiďŹ cation itself. COMMENT BY MAY 17
The city is accepting comments from the public until May 17 and residents are encouraged email city planner Steve Gauthier at email@example.com to provide feedback. The feedback will give city planners information to help them plan site visits to analyze individual properties. There will also be workshops for different communities and for architects. A public meeting in June is expected to ofďŹ cially launch the consultations. A report is slated to go to the city's planning committee in December, but if you are interested in providing comments or connecting with the workshops in the meantime, contact your city councillor's ofďŹ ce.
