Grand masters jig into OrleansBrier [email protected]

EMC entertainment - Shen-kman Arts Centre will be filled with the best jigs, reels and waltzes Canadian fiddlers have to offer on Aug. 25.

The Canadian Grand Mas-ters fiddling competition and show will come to Shenkman, with the daytime preliminaries at noon and the finals at 7 p.m.

The top 11 fiddlers from the day will advance to the evening final and whoever wins the competition will be named this year’s grand master.

“It’s a great event that we have here, and we’re lucky to have it here in Orléans,” said Grand Masters Association vice-president Ron Bourque. “It’s an excellent venue.”

The event hosts more than 25 of Canada’s top fiddlers, there by invitation only, who are competing for cash prizes for the top three, and the grand master title.

“It’s basically the best of the best,” Bourque said. “It’s a prestigious event. It’s quite something when you win.”

Though it’s the cream of the crop, he said it can be anyone’s game when competition day arrives.

“Everybody has a fair and equal chance,” he said. “You have to have talent but it all de-pends how it goes that day.”

Competitors are required to play a waltz, jig, reel and a choice selection in their allo-cated five minutes.

“Anyone that really enjoys old-time fiddle music, they don’t want to miss the after-noon,” said Bourque.

In the evening, the competi-tors will again have five min-utes, but have more choice in what they play. The evening requires four contrasting tunes, allowing more variety in the types of music played.

EMC sports - Ottawa-area Olympi-ans weren’t expecting fanfare when they stepped into the arrivals area at the city’s airport on Aug. 13, but they certainly re-ceived a warm welcome.

Sprinter Gavin Smellie said he was just going to jump in a taxi to go home, but was surprised to see friends and the Ottawa police pipe and drum band wait-ing for him.

Rowing silver medalist Conlin Mc-Cabe, from Brockville, wasn’t expecting to see so many people before he headed home.

“This never happens in our sport,” he said. “This is awesome, thank you.”

McCabe came out wearing his silver medal, and though he never took his eyes off it, he was quick to allow several

dozen waiting fans the opportunity to try it on and take a photo with him.

Sprinters Gavin Smellie and Oluwase-gun Makinde, both 4x100-metre team members, though Makinde took the role of alternate, said they were prepared to take a month break before heading back to the track to train with Ottawa Lions coach Glenroy Gilbert.

Gilbert, who also returned on the same flight from London as the Olympic relay coach, trains Smellie in Ottawa, though he represents the Toronto-based Flying Angels track club.

Many members of the Lions were there to greet them, wearing club cloth-ing and holding custom made signs that had been hanging in the office during the Games.

“We’ll come back, 2016, we’ll be there,” said Orléans’ Makinde, one of the younger athletes on the team. “The highlight was winning a bronze for about seven minutes (before) getting disqualified.”

He said that the team is already aim-ing for redemption at the 2016 Games, and achieving a taste of the third place finish has them aiming for the gold in

the future.“It was a great feeling, the atmosphere

was great, the whole Olympics – I ex-perienced that,” Smellie said. “Running in front of thousands of people in the stands, with millions of people watching on television.”

surprise

He thought the commotion would be over, but he got one last taste of the Olympic excitement when he entered the arrivals area. Several of the athletes stopped to look around to try and figure out what exactly was going on before it sank in.

“I really didn’t expect this at all,” Smellie said. “So I’m really thankful, really thankful to the city of Ottawa and everybody here right now.”

It’s now back to real life for athletes like Makinde, who attends the Univer-sity of Ottawa. He said he’ll spend his month break getting ready to go back to school.

“I have to get my books and stuff to-gether,” he said. “Get ready to focus on that.”

There are going to be other performances besides the competition, including a junior showcase and special guest performer Calvin Voll-rath.

In past years, Vollrath has been a judge and has compet-ed internationally, represent-ing Canada.

The event, which was held at Centrepointe Theatre in Nepean before the switch was

made to the Shenkman Arts Centre, usually sells out for the evening show.

“It’s the best way to spend a Saturday afternoon if you enjoy fiddle music,” Bourque said.

Prior to Saturday’s compe-tition will be a showcase and dance on Aug. 24 at the Qual-ity Inn in Orléans. Beginning at 6:30 p.m., the showcase will highlighting music from performers’ home provinces.

The dance floor will be

open for everyone who at-tends to enjoy the music, and snacks will be provided.

Preliminary round tickets are $25, with finals costing $38. The cost for both shows combined is $48.

Tickets for the Friday eve-ning showcase can be pur-chased at the door for $15. Tickets for the Saturday com-petition can be purchased at Shenkman Arts Centre or at www.canadiangrandmasters .ca.

Veterans health looking up at Perley Rideau

eMC news - Barbara Ann Scott, grete Hale and retired general Rick Hillier are the honor-ary co-chairs of the Perley and Rideau Veter-ans’ Health Centre Foundation’s new campaign to expand its programs and services.

“Building Choices, enriching Lives is an exciting campaign to raise funds to help meet the need for more housing for seniors includ-ing veterans,” said managing director Daniel Clapin.

“We are truly honored to have such remark-able persons join our efforts by accepting these important appointments.”

Both Hale and Scott are seniors and are well aware of the issues that are facing seniors to-day. grete Hale is recognized as a humanitar-ian and is one of Ottawa’s leading and most committed citizens.

Scott is well-known internationally for her leadership in the sports world and has visited Perley Rideau for many years to meet with

residents. Hillier has held senior positions in the Canadian Forces and understands Perley Rideau’s unique responsibility to veterans.

The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre has embarked on a bold new strategy to create a “seniors village” and to provide a broader continuum of care for seniors and vet-erans alike.

A significant component of the strategy is the construction of specially designed apart-ment buildings, one of which will be opening in January and the other in October 2013. The apartments offer seniors the privacy of inde-pendent apartment living or the security of assisted living for those who want to maintain their independence but need help with some daily activities, and as one of the first apart-ment clusters in Ontario for those in the early to mid-stages of dementia.

The Building Choices, enriching Lives cap-ital campaign hopes to raise $5 million.Fiddlers offer 2 days of entertainment

Councillor Community Update

I hope everyone is having an enjoyable and safe summer.

Over the summer months with reduced council meetings and committee meet-ings, I have made a point of going door to door canvassing and receiving feedback from residents.

A quick update regarding my bid for more ice surfaces in the east end of Ottawa, I have been informed that the RFP on MERX has received more then one response meaning there is interest from the private sector.Once the submissions have been reviewed I will be able to provide more details to you.

At the end of August our new Police Chief Charles Bordeleau and I will be touring around Beacon Hill-Cyrville and identifying areas of concern. Speeding, gra�ti and petty theft from cars will top the list of crimes we will be looking at.

Our e�orts in cleaning up the community over the last 2 years have met with great success and this something I wish to con-tinue.

As we prepare for the end of 2012 and start of 2013 you will notice much of the work we have been doing including:

• 174/417 split fix• The start of Light Rail Transit construction• Lansdowne reconstruction• Ogilvie Road resurfacing• and more...

Lastly, I hope you and your families are able to enjoy a vacation before the school year starts.

EMC news - Orléans fash-ions will take the centre stage for breast cancer on Aug. 29 at the Shenkman Arts Centre.

The first annual Ezcape the Pain, Believe in the Cause fashion show and silent auc-tion will run from 7 to 10 p.m, displaying fashions from St. Joseph Boulevard’s Marka Fashion Boutique.

The event is being organized by Ezcape Spa and Salon, with staff volunteering as fashion models for the evening.

“It’s definitely a night out before the kids go back to school,” said Ezcape’s opera-tions manager Stella Ronan. “It’s a chance to close out the summer and see the fall fash-ions.”

Organizers are hoping to at-tract 250 attendees and raise

$5,000 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

There will be a representa-tive from the Breast Cancer Foundation attending the event with an information booth.

“It’s all about promoting the

cause and raising awareness,” Ronan said.

It won’t be a typical fashion show with a runway. Instead, guests will be able to stand at cocktail tables while the mod-els – dressed in casual to for-

mal and some bridal dresses –circulate throughout.

Light appetizers will be served and there will be a cash bar available.

As well as the fashion show, the event has been success-ful in receiving donations for the silent auction table mostly from Orléans businesses, with items ranging from designer handbags to Ottawa Senators tickets.

While the dress code is ca-sual, attendees are encouraged to wear pink if possible, and those who do will be entered into a draw for door prizes.

Olympic silver medalist Elizabeth Manley will be mas-ter of ceremonies for the event. Manley has been a public sup-porter of the fight against can-cer since her mother passed away from ovarian cancer.

Tickets for the event are available at Ezcape Spa and Salon at 900 Watters Rd., Mar-ka Fashion Boutique at 2160 St. Joseph Blvd. and Select Bloom at 1675 Tenth Line Rd. for $25. They will be available for purchase at the door the evening of the event for $30.

EMC news - The Portobello South communities, includ-ing Avalon, Notting Gate and Notting Hill, will have the opportunity to come together and send summer off on a high note.

The Portobello South Com-munity Development Associa-tion (PSCDA) will be running their annual barbecue again this year on Sept. 8.

“We historically get a great turnout,” said Patricia Joyce,

PSCDA director of commu-nications. “We had over 1,200 last year.”

The barbecue will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and all the activities and food will be free of charge.

“One of the things that is very important to us on the committee is to make sure that we’re providing a free event for the community,” Joyce said.

Everything has been paid for by donations and sponsors. The events will take place at Portobello Park at 670 Aqua-view Dr.

Highlights will include Ray’s Reptiles, a demonstra-tion from Tumblers Gymnas-tics, bouncy rides and clowns.

Joyce said this year, there will be rides that cater to an older age group than in past years, geared towards tweens and teens.

It’s the fourth year that the communication association, formed in 2007, will host the event. With 20,000 residents and growing in the catchment area, the organizing committee is hoping for a strong turn out.

It’s a chance for neighbours

to meet one another and also get a chance to talk to mem-bers of their community as-sociation about questions and concerns.

“The best part of events like this is that it brings the com-munity together,” Joyce said. “We get to share our civic pride.”

For more information on the Portobello South Commu-nity Development Association, visit www.pscva.com.

The event will be held rain or shine, with tented areas set up in case of rain.

EMC news - Scrap tires can make dreams come true for the Sunshine Foundation of Canada.

Between May 28 and June 2, Ontarians dropped off over 139,000 used tires at 72 lo-cations across the province. These collection events raised $357,960 for the Sunshine Foundation Children’s Char-ity at the third annual Tire Take Back Events.

The collections were or-ganized by Ontario Tire Stewardship and the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Asso-ciation.

The six-day recycling blitz helped divert tires from land-fills while raising money to assist children with severe physical disabilities and life-threatening illnesses fulfill a personal dream or take part in an adventure they will never forget.

The collection allowance that association members re-

ceive for each tire dropped off is matched by the recy-clers association and coupled with donations from regis-tered tire haulers Liberty Tire Recycling and Trillium Tire to create an overall donation to the Sunshine Foundation of Canada.

“Congratulations to On-tarians for their outstanding recycling efforts and creat-ing the most successful tire collection event to date,” said Andrew Horsman, the execu-tive director of Ontario Tire Stewardship. “The number of tires collected nearly tri-pled last year’s amount, and stacked on top of each other, could be the height of more than 65 CN Towers.

To date, Ontario Tire Stew-ardship has helped recycle more than 33 million tires in Ontario. Visit GreenMyTires.ca for details on registered collectors across the prov-ince.

Ah, winter! Ice, snow, and

freezing rain, and the resulting

slip, falls and broken bones. If

you have recently experienced

the pain of a broken or fractured

limb, you may be interested what

can be done to help speed up your

recovery.

Casts can be on for 6 to 8

weeks, often result in muscle

atrophy (shrinkage), joint stiffness,

and difficulty in completing day

to day activities. Initial swelling

and pain associated with being

in a cast can be eased with the

use of ice and elevation. Position

yourself to have the casted limb

resting on pillows, and higher

than your heart. While in the cast,

a physiotherapist can provide

exercises to keep the rest of your

body strong, teach you how to

use crutches, and give advice

regarding daily activities you can

perform safely.

Once your cast has been

removed, it is important to get

your limb moving. Ankle and leg

stiffness can make walking and

stair climbing difficult, and affect

your standing balance. Shoulder,

elbow and wrist stiffness can

make simple tasks like eating,

writing, and brushing your hair a

chore. A physiotherapist can help

you regain movement, balance,

strength and function in the

affected limb. Physiotherapists

also keep track of your range of

motion and strength, letting you

track your progress over time.

If you are interested in

accelerating your recovery, call

your local Family Physiotherapist

today to book an appointment.

EMC news - Local farmers are affected by the drought in different ways, so any help the city can give will have to reflect that, producers say.

After visiting the Navan Fair over the Aug. 10 week-end, Mayor Jim Watson sent a memo asking city manager Kent Kirkpatrick to look at ways the city could “dig a bit deeper to provide whatever extra measure of help may be possible” for drought-strick-en producers.

The city’s finance and eco-nomic development commit-tee will examine options on Aug. 27.

Thom van Eeghen of the Elk Ranch in West Carleton said his herd will likely have to be reduced by 30 per cent

by the spring because he will almost certainly run out of feed.

He is already using his winter stores of food for his elk, van Eeghen said.

While his operation is under pressure, van Eeghen said the city should under-take a thorough study to find out the magnitude of the is-sue before attempting to find a solution.

researCh Needed

He is advocates looking to other municipalities to find out how they have offered assistance.

While cash crops are suf-fering, market produce isn’t doing too poorly, according to Chris Rochon of Rochon Gardens in Edwards.

The Rochons have an irri-

gation system for their fruit and vegetable fields as well as greenhouses so they have been able to draw on a near-by river to ensure their eight hectares of crops don’t die.

“We’re one of the fortu-nate ones,” he said.

The constant need to ro-tate irrigation systems will result in higher costs at the end of the year, Rochon said. That might be balanced out by increased revenue if there is more demand for their pro-duce due to other producers’ smaller yields, but it’s too early to say, he added.

That’s why it will be im-portant for the city manager to bring back a detailed re-port, said Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt.

“It may not be 100 per cent clear what those issues are yet,” he said.

Part of the challenge is that farmers are usually reluctant to come to the city with their hand out, so it’s sometimes hard to judge if they could use help and how much.

“Farmers don’t necessar-ily talk about their issues,” Moffatt said.

But it’s important to dig down and find out what the impact could be, since farm-ing is a significant industry in Ottawa, he said.

Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, chairman of the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee, called the mayor’s request “a bold and much-needed move.”

Thompson said the drought has affected different areas of the city in different ways, not to mention different types of farms, so that must be reflected in any solution the city manager brings forward.

The east end has suffered

more than other sections of the city, Thompson said, while his ward has fared bet-ter.

reLIeF

The way Thompson sees it, the only option to help farmers financially is to offer deferrals on property taxes. But that’s something the city already does through its farm grant program.

“Municipally, I don’t know if there is much more we can do,” Thompson said.

The mayor’s memo men-tioned the possibility of adapting the farm grant pro-gram to more quickly assist farmers who are in the most desperate situations.

If nothing else, the city can spread the word about the program to ensure more farmers know they can take advantage of it, Thompson

said. Rochon said the city might

want to look at a way to help farmers with a more long-term solution, such as grants to help them to invest in irri-gation systems. He said even that could still be a risky move if wetter weather in the future makes the systems re-dundant.

There will be other oppor-tunities to discuss the issue and advocate on farmers’ be-half, Thompson said.

Earlier this week, Thomp-son met with other member of Rural Ontario Municipali-ties Association as part of the Association of Municipali-ties of Ontario.

Those groups will likely send recommendations to the provincial and federal gov-ernments, Thompson said.

Chamber of commerce hires full-time directorBrier [email protected]

EMC news - The Orléans Cham-ber of Commerce hopes to double its membership over the next fi ve years and now there’s a full-time executive director to handle demand.

New executive director Jamie Kwong McDonald would like to see membership grow from the 220 members to 400.

Orléans has 1,000 businesses, so it s an attainable goal, Kwong Mc-Donald said.

“I think it’s doable,” she said. “Every month we have new mem-bers joining in.”

In early 2012, the chamber de-cided to hire a full-time executive di-rector for the fi rst time; the position began in April.

“I’m 100 per cent dedicated; now they have a direct link,” she said. “Once people see that, they’ll see the benefi t of joining.”

Right now, Kwong McDonald is focused on giving the chamber a higher profi le to put them on the same level as other local chambers, such as the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce and Kanata Chamber of Commerce.

The plan for attracting new mem-bers is focused on improving mem-bership benefi ts, becoming a stronger advocate for business and promoting commercial development.

“My goal is to create more op-portunity for building those relations between businesses,” she said.

This will likely mean more net-working events, such as wine and cheese meetings, and an upcoming comedy club night on Nov. 23, to provide variety.

COUNCILLORS IN

Already the chamber has grown since Kwong McDonald started – all four city councillors for the Orléans area, Bob Monette, Stephen Blais, Tim Tierney and Rainer Bloess, have joined.

As well, the addition of a Navan business means the territory the chamber covers is also growing.

Kwong McDonald said the ad-dition of the city councillors is im-portant, because if new buildings or commercial developments are com-ing, the chamber needs to be kept in the loop.

Raising the community profi le isn’t something new for Kwong Mc-

Donald, who has a masters degree in criminology from the University of Ottawa.

“My background was in non-prof-its and investments in community,” she said.

She said that the chamber’s mem-bers are in a variety of business ar-eas, and tight-knit.

“Our membership is so diverse; we’re such an eclectic group,” said Kwong McDonald. “Living out here, everyone is so intertwined.”

And while the east end has taken a hit with the shift of DND jobs to the west end, Kwong McDonald is hope-ful that the community will invest in their local businesses and projects such as the commercial space being built near the planned Holiday Inn will keep the community’s economy on an upswing.

The Orléans Chamber of Com-merce now has it’s fi rst full-time executive director, Jamie Kwong McDonald, right. Kwong McDon-ald is the only full-time employee, with offi ce manager Danielle Ver-mette working 10 hours a week.

The other day, my six-year-old was whining about the cool temperature of the lake following the rain. Normally I try to be empathetic about these

things. On this occasion, however, I told him in the nicest possible way to suck it up. When his older brother came along and splashed water over both of us, I just shivered and laughed away the tears of the younger offspring.

Sound mean? Maybe. But this incident of acute stress and others like it may actually serve to make my son a more resilient adult.

According to recent science in physiology, kids that experience stress on a regular basis are better equipped to handle situations that are new, uncertain and out of their control. The key, of course, is to make sure stresses are short-lived, followed by periods of rest and recovery.

Canadian author and former Wall Street trader John Coates summarizes the reasons why in his book, The Hour Between Dog and Wolf: Risk-taking, Gut Feelings and the Biology of Boom and Bust. An economist, Coates is cer-tainly not writing about child-rearing. In fact, the book’s focus is on traders and their role in fi nancial market volatility. But he does a great job of summarizing the science of stress, pro-viding examples that are universally applicable.

The book is a rich study of how our biology plays a role in decision-making. To put it sim-ply, when humans are faced with the unknown, it’s not just our brains, but our bodies that respond, argues Coates. In the process, there is a rich release of hormones that prepare our bodies for movement – a surge of adrenalin, testosterone or glucose, for example. Individu-

als who are genetically and developmentally conditioned to handle stress are more likely to keep this hormonal interplay in balance. Those who aren’t will falter when faced with the slightest uncertainties in life.

Coates cites one study, for example, con-ducted at the Rockefeller lab in the United States. In the study, rats that were repeatedly exposed to short periods of stress developed a “hardier physiology and an increased immunity to the damaging effects of further stresses.” But it’s a fi ne balance. For in the same study, rats exposed to chronic stress “came to suffer both physical illness and learned helplessness.”

While Coates acknowledges it may be dif-fi cult for individuals to condition themselves to handle stress, he turns to sports medicine for some answers on how we may better prepare ourselves to cope. As physical beings, it really comes down to giving our bodies the opportu-nity to stretch ourselves physically.

It makes sense then that the easiest way to trigger stress in our bodies is through exercise – forcing our heart rates up, pushing our muscles to their limits and expanding our lung capacity. But Coates also makes an argument for forcing our bodies and brains to tap into our ancient physiological fl ight-or-fi ght response by exposing ourselves to extreme temperatures. Submerging one’s face in cold water, for ex-ample, can actually have the effect of slowing our heart rates and in turn calming our bodies and minds to better deal with what’s to come.

So while my “suck-it-up” mentality may have seemed harsh at the time, I take comfort in knowing that allowing my child to experience a harmless incident of stress may contribute to making him an all-around tougher individual. And as so often happens with children, it was a matter of minutes following the splash incident before my son was frolicking away in the icy lake, the previous moment of acute stress seemingly forgotten. The magic formula of stress-recovery-stress-recovery was complete when he followed his swim by exposing his body to the scorching sun before diving into the icy lake once again.

Stressing out the kidsBRYNNALESLIE

Capital Muse

Human beings in general attach a lot of signifi cance to names.

Names allow us to orga-nize our world in such a way that we can communicate effectively – when we say words like city hall or rabbit, we are all on the same page.

This applies to most of us. What appears to be the exception, at least in Canada, is the political class, which apparently doesn’t attach the same value to names like the

rest of us.It seems politicians cannot

resist the urge to apply new names to things that already have names.

Last week, the federal government, through the National Capital Commis-sion, decided to rename the Ottawa River Parkway as the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway.

According to the NCC, the name change answers the call of Canadians to “use our sites, our lands and our assets

to tell our Canadian story.”This announcement,

according to Ottawa West-Nepean MP John Baird, “is timely as we celebrate 145 years since (Macdonald’s) election as Canada’s fi rst prime minister.”

One cannot help but note that Macdonald was a con-servative prime minister. We surely won’t be seeing the Aviation Parkway renamed the Sir Wilfrid Laurier Park-way in 2016, marking 120 years since that former prime

minister was fi rst elected.But renaming things is not

an exercise any of our politi-cians should be spending their time and our money on – $60,000 in the case of the parkway.

Not only are there numer-ous things – a bridge, an airport, a school, a historic building – already named after Macdonald in the city, it plays havoc with the way we collectively understand our city.

Most of us who live in

Ottawa will refer to the River Parkway for decades to come. It’s what we know it as, what we’re familiar with. It will cause confusion amongst visitors to our city, who run the risk of being told by a local resident to take the river parkway to get downtown, only to search in vain for a road that has been renamed.

All of this for $60,000, money that could have saved at least one public service job in this city from federal spending cuts.

This is a scenario Ottawa residents are familiar with. Recently, College Coun. Rick Chiarelli sought to have

Robertson Road in Bells Cor-ners renamed Lloyd Francis Boulevard – another decision made for political reasons, not practical ones.

Fortunately that proposal was shot down when mem-bers of the public caught wind of the plan. When it comes to the federal govern-ment and the NCC, the public doesn’t have the same level of infl uence and we are now stuck with the decision.

Is it not enough that new buildings, roads, bridges and the like are named subject to political whim? Our leaders can do better than to occupy their time playing with our society’s placemarkers.

Students who want a farm career should study business: report

EMC news - High school students considering a career in agriculture in the next five years should focus on acquir-ing marketing, management and other business skills ac-cording to a new cross-Cana-da survey conducted by Farm Credit Canada (FCC) and Agriculture in the Classroom Canada.

About 2,000 FCC members – producers and agribusiness owners across Canada – were asked in April 2012 to list the skills they believe young people need to be successful in agriculture.

In addition to marketing, management and business

skills, respondents also iden-tified knowledge, understand-ing of agriculture, and tech-nology as priorities for young people who want to work in the industry.

loNg-term outlook good

Producers are currently enjoying high prices, which may represent a short-term spike. The long-term eco-nomic outlook, however, looks positive for well-edu-cated, young people ventur-ing into the industry.

World farm commodity prices are expected to remain

high over the next decade, fuelled by high demand and from rapid income growth in developing countries, accord-ing to a recent report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Develop-ment and the United Nations food agency.

“Given that one in eight jobs in Canada are in the agri-food industry, there are a lot of opportunities for young people,” says Greg Stewart, FCC president and CEO.

“As the industry grows in complexity, so does the need for great business acumen.”

This casserole is a good example of how to make a change in a recipe

and end up with a dish that tastes just as good, if not bet-ter, than the original.

The original version of this was called turkey tetrazzini for obvious reasons. It was perfect for using up the leftovers at Christmas and we really enjoyed it. The problem, of course, is that I don’t always have turkey on hand.

So I tried making it with chicken. That version was good, but required cooking the chicken first. That was all right, unless I came home from work too tired to bother.

Next I tried making it with tuna which can often be sub-stituted for chicken, particu-larly in casseroles. That was quick and simple and became a regular supper casserole at our table.

Recently I tried yet an-other variation. I had bought a package of bulk sausage for another recipe. Because sausage is so rich, I planned to use only half of the package in that casserole.

Since bulk sausage only comes frozen, having thawed it, I had to use it up. So this time I made the ever-chang-ing tetrazzini casserole with

sausage. It was just as tasty as any of the earlier versions.

I finally realized the reason this casserole always tastes so good, no matter what I use, is the sauce that goes in it. Made with mushrooms, onion, mushroom soup, cheese and Worcestershire sauce, it has a delicious and distinctive flavour, due largely to the Worcestershire sauce.

This casserole also calls for cooked spaghetti, which makes it a filling, delicious dish for a family meal, potluck supper or company dinner.

The version I give here describes how to make it with sausage. If you prefer, substitute one to two cups of cooked, cut-up turkey or chicken, or one can of tuna.

SauSage tetrazziNi

• 3 cups cooked, drained spaghetti (enough for four people)• 1/2 package of bulk sausage meat, thawed

• 1 can sliced mushrooms, drained• 1/2 onion, chopped• 1 can cream of mushroom soup• 2/3 cup milk• 1/2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce• 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese• 2 cups crushed corn flakes

Cook the sausage in a fry-ing pan, breaking up the meat with a spoon. Drain off all the fat. Add the mushrooms and onion to the pan and cook un-til the onion is tender – about three to four minutes. Spread in the bottom of a large cas-serole dish.

Using either your micro-wave oven or a saucepan on the stove, combine the soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce and cheese. Heat, stirring of-ten, until the cheese is melted.

Stir the cheese sauce into the spaghetti and pour this over the sausage. Sprinkle the crushed corn flakes on tops, and bake at 350 F (175 C) for 30 to 40 minutes. Serves four.

Sausage, spaghetti a winning combination

My brother Emer-son had a way of getting me to do his bidding.

Unless I was really on my toes, I often paid dearly for not doing exactly what he wanted. But that hot summer day, when all the chores had been done in the barns, my three brothers were attempt-ing to play ball on the flat piece of barnyard behind the silo. With only three of them, there wasn’t much chance of a very good game.

Emerson wandered over to where I was sitting in the grape arbour with my dolls spread out around me. The shade of the vines made a nice cool spot for me to spend an hour or so at my favourite pastime: playing house or school with my beloved dolls. They came in all shapes and sizes, some with soft rag-stuffed bodies, one with a beautiful china face, a couple showing their age and missing a part, but all dear to me.

Emerson sidled closer and I knew what he wanted. He wanted me to head over to the silo and play ball. Well, not really play. What he wanted was me to run and catch the ball when one of them batted it out beyond the yard. Well, I wasn’t having any part of a game in which I would never be allowed an even role

-- forget that I could never hit the ball in the first place. It was the very idea that I was just to be there for their convenience and I wasn’t having any part of it. I turned him down flat.

Emerson stomped away to where Everett and Earl were waiting to see if I could be talked into being their fall guy. Well, they had another thing coming. To make sure they knew I meant business, I decided to have a tea party with my dolls.

I propped them all up in a sitting position and headed into the house to bring out my little set of tin dishes. I decided I might as well make a little lunch while I was at it and so stopped long enough to butter a slice of bread, cut it into small pieces and headed back out to the grape arbour.

What I saw when I returned turned my blood to ice water - there was just an empty space where I had left my dolls. I knew without

looking that three sets of eyes would be turned in my direction.

I flew into a rage and cleared the rail fence in one leap. Of course, the three

brothers denied everything, but a dead giveaway was when Emerson said if I played ball for a bit, he’d tell me where they were.

Well, when he saw I wasn’t interested in that deal and was heading into the house to tell Mother, he

pointed towards the sand box, which was gravel from our pit Father had brought up on the stone boat for me to play in.

There buried in the sand, all in a row like little soldiers, Emerson had buried every doll right up to its neck with just the heads sticking out of the sand. I clawed until I got them all out. It must have taken me an hour to wash them clean of the sand and grit.

I ran into the house to tell Mother what my brother had done. I was pretty sure Everett and Earl would have had no part in the deed. Mother said it was too hot to sort out my problems with my brothers and besides, she said, I knew what she thought of tattlers. That meant unless you actually showed signs of being physically wounded with blood running from your nose, she wanted no part of our childhood battles.

So I would be left to my own devices when it came to dealing with Emerson. I plotted in earnest how I could best get rid of him without showing signs that I had done it. Poison was an option, but I had no idea what a poison was or if we had any on the farm. But I realized I was no match for my big strapping brother.

I would just have to protect

my dolls as best I could. That night, I did as I always did before I went upstairs to bed. I put them in the parlour where they slept every night, telling each and every one of them they were safe there.

But after I went to bed and my sister Audrey had blown out the lamp, I lay perfectly still until I was sure she was asleep beside me. Then I crept downstairs. I had to make two trips, but I carried every last doll upstairs and put them under my bed where I knew they would be safe.

I finally fell asleep, still plotting how I was going to deal with Emerson and make him pay dearly for his dastardly deed.

Bryce Conrad, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hydro Ottawa, kicked off the company’s 2012 United Way workplace campaign on August 21.

Full of community spirit, a group of Hydro Ottawa employees ran a 10 km relay run on August 21. The run marked the official beginning of Hydro Ottawa’s 2012 United Way workplace campaign.

Through employee donations and corporate matching dollars, Hydro Ottawa’s campaigns have raised more than $1 million over the past 11 years. This year, Hydro Ottawa aims to surpass its 2011 campaign total of $187,932.

“Just like the citizens of Ottawa rely on the electricity we deliver, there are thousands of people in our community who rely on the United Way,” said Bryce Conrad, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hydro Ottawa. “When I see how generously our employees give back to the community, it makes me proud to be a part of Hydro Ottawa.”

In 2011, Hydro Ottawa’s campaign committee was honoured with a United Way Community Builder Award. Thanks to the leadership of these volunteers and with the support of employees across the company, Hydro Ottawa’s workplace campaign is now the largest donor among the more than 100 companies in the Construction, Manufacturing and Services sector.

The company’s matching dollars are allocated to the Brighter Tomorrows Fund, a community investment program designed to support frontline agencies that serve people who are homeless or at risk of being homeless to invest in energy-efficient technologies or products. Over the past two years more than $219,000 has been allocated by the Brighter Tomorrows Fund to help agencies implement capital projects to reduce their energy costs.

“Supporting United Way Ottawa is just one way Hydro Ottawa is contributing to the well-being of our community,” added Conrad. “Whether it is maintaining one of the safest, most reliable electricity distribution systems in Ontario, helping our customers manage their energy consumption or educating children and youth about electricity safety, Hydro Ottawa is a community builder and a responsible, engaged corporate citizen.”

EMC news - Brittany Moorecroft’s journey started with a series of small chal-lenges to push herself after her University of Ottawa gradua-tion.

It grew into her deciding to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and raise $5,000 for the charity WaterCan in the process.

“With no one challeng-ing me, I chose to challenge myself,” the 22-year-old said. “I’ve wanted to climb it since 2010, it just kind of happened, like fate.”

Moorecroft, a Sir Wilfred Laurier Secondary School grad and Orléans resident, will spend Oct. 12 to 26 climbing, along with a delegation that includes Ben Mulroney and 20 others.

WaterCan provides clean drinking water to communities in Eastern Africa.

Founded in 1987, the Ca-nadian charity has worked in a number of communities to fight pverty.

Moorecroft will visit a ru-ral community in Kiteto Dis-trict, in Masai during the trip, to meet students and teachers who benefit from WaterCan’s projects.

The recent grad said she feels familiar with the issues because she studied the af-fects of access to clean drink-ing water in Ethiopia while she was pursuing her studies at the university.

To prepare for the climb, Moorecroft has been hiking in the Gatineau Park, working out at the Ray Friel Recreation Complex. She has also been rock climbing on a regular ba-sis and doing yoga two to three times a week.

In order to make her fund-raising goal, Moorecroft has organized an Orléans yoga fundraiser in order to help push her over the edge. She’s currently only several hundred dollars short.

The Warriors for Water: charity yoga in the park event will be held on Aug. 28 at 7 p.m. at Orleans Ridge Park at 364 Kennedy Lane East.

The suggested donation for the event is a $5 donation, and children and pets are all wel-come for the all levels class.

Certified yoga instructor Dana Wemyss has volunteered her time to come and teach the outdoor class in the park.

“Anyone I’ve talked to who has heard of WaterCan knows what amazing work they do,” Moorecroft said. “We’re able to get together as a community and unite for people in another community.”

It’s not the first fundraiser she’s done, a games night and campaign seeking donations pushed her to over $4,500 raised already.

“It’s refreshing to see how generous people can be,” she said, adding that WaterCan has already passed their $100,000 goal for her particular trip.

She’s paying for all her own airfare and expenses, so the money raised will all go di-rectly to WaterCan.

MODEL HOME FURNISHINGS

Total Home Consignment offers a unique shopping experience unlike that of your run-of-the-mill furniture store.The furniture consignment store has the layout of a furniture store with 8,000 sq. ft. of spacious floor space, combined with the low prices and unique finds of a consignment store. “They love the concept and they didn’t realize there was anything like us out there,” says Richard Abrams, who owns the store with his wife Barb, of the reactions of his customers.“When they’re coming in here they’re not going to find the same old same old from furniture store to furniture store. It’s a totally different look and everything’s unique. It’s ‘one onlys’ and things that you can’t find other places.”Total Home Consignment is a great place to find unique gifts for friends and family. The furniture and home accessories are sourced from people looking to down size, estate sales, business closings, bankruptcies, and inventory liquidations. The store also gets model home furnishings from seven of Ottawa’s finest home builders. There’s no better time than now to come into the store as they’ve received truck loads of model furniture from Minto.Abrams says the store has a high standard of what furniture they will accept, which means it can be sold as is. For those on a budget,

Total Home Consignment offers sofas, bedroom sets, kitchen sets, dining room sets, patio sets, coffee and end tables, wall units, rugs, and even exercise equipment for great prices.Abrams explains that when a used product comes into the store it starts at 50 to 60 per cent of the price of what the equivalent product would sell for new. Every 15 days the price is dropped 10 per cent until the item is sold. “When the item first comes in, it’s a great deal but if you’re patient and you’re lucky more than anything else you can get an even better deal,” says Abrams. However, he cautions that this approach can result in disappointment when a piece of furniture is snapped up by another savvy customer. At Total Home Consignment you can find antiques and collectables but also brand new furniture. As Abrams put it, “there are treasures here to be found.” Total Home Consignment is located at 1860 Bank St, Uniit 4 near the corner of Bank St. and Walkley Rd. behind the Beer Store.

EMC news - Beacon Hill resident Judy Taylor will walk 100 kilometres in memory of her son, David, who passed away 10 years ago.

The three day walk from Kananaskis, Alta. to Calgary will serve as a fundraiser for the scholarship fund that the Taylor family has created in memory of David, who passed away from kidney failure.

She’s walking with her daughter, Kim Taylor-Boyko, who lives in Calgary, as a part of an event called Kidney March, through the Kidney Foundation of Canada.

“Since my son died, we’ve been passionate supporters,” Taylor said. “It’s a long walk, but when you look at people who are on dialysis, and you see people who are on it four or five days a week, I think what we go through is paling in comparison to what pa-tients go through waiting for a kidney.”

David died at age 31 while waiting for a kidney trans-plant and undergoing dialy-sis.

He studied physics at St. Mary’s University in Nova Scotia, so a scholarship fund for those with kidney disease would have been something he would have encouraged,

Taylor said. Because it’s hard to handle

a part-time job while on di-alysis, the bursary is awarded

to Ottawa-area dialysis pa-tients who want to attend a post-secondary school. Some patients can be on dialysis for

years before receiving a new kidney.

“It’s very difficult to have dialysis and try to study,” Tay-lor said. “We hope this will make it a bit easier. It would have been something that he would have encouraged and he would be proud.”

They have done other fund-raisers in the past, but Taylor wanted to do something spe-cial this year to mark the 10-year anniversary of David’s passing.

A large portion of the mon-ey raised during her walk will be donated to the scholarship fund.

A lot of support for her walk has been local, with Taylor running a bake sale at the Orléans Running Room and a book sale at the Cum-berland Farmers’ Market.

The rest of the money will stay with the Kidney Founda-tion to be used on research.

Taylor will start her walk on Sept. 7, and donations can be made online at www.kid-neymarch.ca.

Save on back-to-school clothes shoppingSCHOOLBACK-to-Attention!Attention! Fall RegistrationFall Registration

The back to school season can be bittersweet. Parents may miss having their youngsters around the house when sum-mer officially ends, but it’s also fun for parents to watch kids partake in all that school has to offer.One of the things few parents look forward come the end of summer vacation is back-to-school shopping. Such shopping can be costly, especially when it’s time to outfit kids with new ward-robes. While a complete ward-robe overhaul might not be necessary, kids typically need to replace a few items they’ve outgrown since the start of summer break. There are sev-eral ways parents can save on back-to-school clothes.

* Get a head start. Parents can save themselves some money by shopping early for their children’s back-to-school wardrobes. Though kids may experience a growth spurt during the summer, shop for items, like socks, that they aren’t likely to grow out of be-fore the back-to-school season begins. This affords you time to comparison shop and spread out the cost of replacing your child’s wardrobe instead of be-ing hit with one big bill all at once.

* Establish a budget. Without a budget, it’s easy for parents to overspend on back-to-school clothing, especially for those parents who wait until the last minute and simply buy the first things they see. Estab-lish a budget, ideally several weeks before your child’s first day of school. Having a bud-get in place reduces the likeli-hood that you will overspend, and developing the budget early helps you spread out your spending.

* Shop at consignment stores. Consignment stores offer name-brand clothing at dis-counted prices, something parents of ever-growing young-sters can appreciate. Kids will like the name-brand gear, while Moms and Dads will en-joying not having to pay name-brand prices. A consignment store with significant inventory might sell anything from blue jeans and T-shirts to sneakers, shoes and jackets.

* Swap clothes with other fam-ilies. Clothing swaps between families have grown increas-ingly popular as more and more parents look to save money on rising clothing costs for their kids. Typically, families will swap clothes, including jack-

ets, if their kids are similar in age and one youngster has outgrown his or her clothes. If you can’t find a family to swap with, visit your local commu-nity center or church to see if it has a clothing swap program.

* Shop discount stores. If the local consignment store has already been raided, consider a discount store like Marshalls or TJ Maxx. These stores typi-cally sell items at heavily dis-counted prices and often have similar inventories to mall de-partment stores.

* Shop online. A relatively new way for parents to save on back to school clothing is to shop online. A popular store’s Web site might offer discounts that their brick-and-mortar store does not. Parents can also scour a host of coupon Web sites to find special codes they can use at checkout. These codes might offer free ship-ping or a percentage off the bill when consumers spend a certain amount of money.

Parents can visit department store Web sites to find great deals on back to school clothing for their kids.

SCHOOLBACK-to-Attention!Attention! Fall RegistrationFall RegistrationSchool bus safety for kindergartenersA kindergartener’s first day of school is a day to cherish. There are so many firsts to experience, from wearing a backpack for the first time to making new friends to riding on a school bus. All of these firsts can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time.

For many youngsters, school marks the first time they are away from their parents for an extended period of time. As a result, safety concerns -- especially concerning transportation to and from school -- is foremost on the minds of many parents. School bus safety is something that should be presented to children in terms they can understand.

Riding on a school bus is often a fun experience for kids, but the prospect of leaving

Mom or Dad behind at the curb can spark mixed feelings. It is best to prepare students for the school bus a few weeks prior to the first day of school to gauge their reactions and plan accordingly.

Many school districts and transportation companies, like the North Penn School District Transportation Department in Pennsylvania, host annual events that help introduce k i n d e r g a r t e n e r s -to-be to the school bus. Children are encouraged to enter the bus and learn about all of the equipment. The students also may be given a short ride around town, and safety information is typically included. If the school district where you are living does not host a special orientation day for children entering kindergarten, see if you can arrange to have a bus tour by contacting

a bus company in the area.

Although safety tips may be covered at orientation, it is a good idea to reinforce lessons at home in preparation for the first day of school. Here are some important topics to go over.

* Walk to the bus using a sidewalk if there is one. If no sidewalk is present, walk on the opposite side of the street facing oncoming traffic.

* Wait for the bus at the designated stop. Don’t wander away.

* Do not go into the street while waiting for the bus to arrive.

* Do not roughhouse or run around with friends while waiting for the bus to arrive.

* Wait for the bus a safe distance away from the street until the bus stops and opens the door.

* Walk one-by-one onto the bus. Do not push or crowd the doorway.

* Once on the bus, quickly find a seat and sit down.

* If there is a seatbelt, fasten it. (Children should be familiar with how to latch a seatbelt.)

* Do not put your head, arms or anything else out of the bus window.

* Keep the bus aisle clear of backpacks or other items.

* Keep voices down so not to distract the driver.

* Listen to the driver.

* Do not throw things on the bus.

* Unbuckle your seatbelt only when the bus has stopped at the school (or your stop at home)

* Exit the bus slowly and do not push.

* If you must cross the street when exiting the bus, do so in front of the bus so the driver can see you.

Parents can go over these rules again and again. On the first day of school, some parents prefer to let their children ride the bus to school and then the parents meet the children at the school to watch the boys and girls exit. This also reassures the children that they are safe riding the bus.

Acquainting children with school bus safety and protocol can ease first day jitters.

EMC news - This year, Ca-nadian Breast Cancer Foun-dation (CBCF) awarded $9.9 million in grants supporting breast cancer research proj-ects and fellowships across the province, including a grant to Dr. Angel Arnaout to study the benefits of vitamin D as a treatment option for patients to take part in while waiting for surgery.

There have been many stud-ies to date that show a cor-relation between the level of vitamin D in people who live in colder climates with less sunlight and the increased rate of cancer – especially breast cancer.

Arnaout, a surgical oncolo-gist specializing in breast can-cer at the Ottawa Hospital, will focus on the effects of increas-ing a patient’s levels of vitamin D as an interim treatment op-tion to slow tumour growth, without interfering with the timing of future surgical op-tions.

“Once the research is com-plete, we hope to show that a simple and inexpensive vita-min can have the potential to

be a treatment and preventa-tive agent for breast cancer patients,” said Arnaout, who is a CBCF-funded researcher. “This option would also work to supplement other treatments like surgery, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy.”

Arnaout’s work is one of

43 research projects and fel-lowships CBCF has invested in this year across Ontario, in-cluding three recipients from Ottawa. She has dedicated her life to treating and improving the quality of life for breast cancer patients.

“Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Canadian

women over the age of 20,” said Sandra Palmaro, the CEO of CBCF-Ontario. “The good news is that more women are living longer and with a better quality of life.

“But with one in nine wom-en being diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, there is still so much more for us to learn and it is critical that we continue to invest in innovative and relevant research each and every year.”

CBCF is the largest non-governmental funder of breast cancer research in Canada and one of the largest in the world. Its investments in research and fellowships are changing the landscape of what is known and understood about breast cancer and have enabled ad-vancements in prevention, earlier detection, breast cancer treatment and patient care. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foun-dation CIBC Run for the Cure, which raises over 70 per cent of the funds invested in rel-evant and innovative research, advocacy and education work, will take place on September 30, 2012.

Classes in pre-ballet, jazz and hip hop will teach your tiny dancer the fun-damentals and techniques of specific dance styles. It’s a great introduction to more formal and focused dance classes. A performance for an admir-ing audience of moms, dads and fam-ily members completes the session.

Older children also have a variety of dance styles to choose from. Which-ever strikes their fancy, we’ve got them covered - Broadway, contemporary and hip hop, our classes cover the gamut of styles made popular by tele-vision dance shows.

Have a child interested in learning a bit of everything? A Dance Mix class allows your child to create his or her

own choreography and experiment with a variety performance styles. Classes such as Acrobatic Dance com-bines dance steps and combos with free floor gymnastics.

Give your child the chance to express, move and create through dance! It is said that Socrates learned to dance when he was 70 because he felt that an essential part of himself had been ne-glected. Affordable and conveniently located in your neighbhourhood, a dance class this fall ensures that your child won’t have to wait that long!

Fall Classes start soon!Browse online at ottawa.ca/recreation to discover affordable fall and winter programs. Visit your favourite facil-ity where knowledgeable and friendly staff will help you discover your next adventure. You can also call 3-1-1 for more details.

Sometimes kids just gotta dance

R0011569786-0823

EMC news - The federal government has taken an im-portant step towards helping millions of suffering children and their families in West Af-rica with the announcement of a matching charitable dona-tions plan, says World Vision Canada’s president and CEO Dave Toycen.

“These donation programs motivate and encourage Cana-dians to donate and to make a difference in the lives of mil-lions of affected people,” Toy-cen says.

The federal government has agreed to match charitable do-

nations made by Canadians to registered charities working to provide humanitarian relief to West Africa on a dollar-for-dollar basis. The period for the matching donations will run until Sept. 30.

World Vision Canada and other charitable organizations will then be eligible to apply for funding from the government of Canada from the matching donations fund to be used for both immediate relief projects, as well as long-term develop-ment programs that will help people in West Africa become better prepared to handle fu-

ture food emergencies. “World Vision teams in

Niger, Mali, Mauritania and Chad have been actively work-ing in the areas that have been affected by the food crisis since last November,” Toycen says. “With more than 18 million people at risk of severe mal-nutrition, including more than a million children, the need for a massive humanitarian inter-vention is growing every day.”

World Vision Canada en-courages Canadians to learn more about the crisis in the Sahel region of West Africa by visiting www.worldvision.ca.

World Vision urges Canadians to match government support for West Africa

EMC news - Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is seeking loving homes for future guide and assistance dogs.

The volunteer position is called “puppy walking” but entails a lot more.

As a puppy walker, you foster a puppy in your home for 12 to 18 months. The idea is for the pup to learn what it takes to become a “good dog” before entering formal train-ing to become a guide dog or assistance dog to help some-one in need.

You must be home most of the day or obtain permis-sion to take the dog to work with you. You require access

to a vehicle for veterinary ap-pointments and training ses-sions. All food and veterinary expenses are provided. This is a commitment, raising and training the dog in your home, with the expectation for daily long walks in all conditions.

When the dog is ready to enter into formal training at the National Training Centre of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind in Manotick, you must be prepared to give up the dog so that it may con-tinue its journey as a guide dog or assistance dog. Own-ership of the dog is retained by Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.

One person is responsible

for the pup, but this is a great family volunteer project. Pups are ready to be placed this fall. If the dog graduates, you get the opportunity to meet the client that your dog is matched with.

For further information on this volunteer position con-tact Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind at 613-692-7777 or email [email protected] .

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind was established as a registered charity in 1984. Since that time, Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind has provided professionally trained guide dogs to Canadi-ans who are visually impaired from coast to coast.

Puppies need a good start

SUBMITTED

The Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is looking for volunteers to foster future guide and assistance dogs.

Pet Adoptions

Don’t keep scratching your heaD; use these tips to riD your furry frienDs of fleas!

Blossom is a spayed female, orange tabby Domestic Shorthair cat who is about three years old. She loves to cuddle with grown-up friends for attention and affection. Blossom has a very friendly disposition with humans but likes all of the attention to herself so needs to be the only feline in your home. She needs lots of interesting toys to keep her entertained. An owner who will keep her active to help her shed a few pounds will help her live a long and healthy life! For more information about these or other animals available for adoption, please call the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www.ottawahumane.ca.

Fleas, an annual external parasite, are mostly harmless. The biggest problem caused by fleas is itching. However, some pets or people may be allergic to flea sa-liva, which causes flea allergy dermatitis (super-itchy spots with hair-loss); young, sick or elderly pets can become anemic from too much blood loss.

These wingless insects are capable of jumping long distances. While cat and dog fleas prefer to feast on animal blood, they will turn to a human host if needed.

The life-cycle of a flea has four stages:

Eggs, which fall from the host into the environment

Larvae, which live off of the fallen fecal matter of adult fleas found in carpets and in lawns.

Pupae, which is the cocoon. They do not emerge until a host is detected (via warmth /vibration)

Adults, which feast on blood.

If you do have a flea-infestation, it is important to treat the pet’s environment as well, to eliminate flea eggs and larvae.

There are many over-the-counter prod-ucts that help solve flea problems such as flea sprays (both for the pet and environ-ment), shampoos, or collars. While the costs may be lower for over-the-counter products ($5 to $30), they often need to be reapplied to solve a flea infestation.

Prescription-only solutions such as topical treatments (Advantage, Revolution) or pills (Program, Sentinel) are more expensive and require a vet visit for a prescription. They are usually dispensed in a six-month package, to be applied monthly for the flea season.

They are safer, easier and more effective than over-the-counter products. These products often have additional benefits, such as heart-worm protection and tick,

lice and mite infestation prevention. Because of their ease of use, their safety, and their effectiveness, they are highly recommended.

It is important to read all of the instruc-tions carefully before using any flea-con-trol product. Follow all the instructions. Never use flea productions designed for dogs on cats, and vice versa. When in doubt, contact your veterinarian.

Alternatives:

Use a flea comb several times a week on all pets.

Vacuum frequently, disposing of bags immediately after use.

Long grass can host fleas: keep lawns mowed.

Wash pet bedding weekly.

To protect cats from fleas and ticks, as well as a host of other outdoor hazards, cats should be kept indoors at all times.

Cocotte is a spayed female, calico Domestic Shorthair who is just over two years old. This tri-coloured feline loves to wake up early in the morning and has an attentive and affectionate disposition. She loves to play with toys and be near her human companions. She loves to use a scratching post! Cocotte loves attention and would like to be in a home where she can have company for most of the day.

Nail care poses health risks

EMC news - Great nails can be bad for your health.

Nail salon workers and their clients are increasingly at risk of health issues from exposure to hazardous chemicals, says Dr. Gary Liss, a medical con-sultant for the Ontario Minis-try of Labour.

“Certain chemicals can trigger occupational asthma or can exacerbate other con-ditions, such as pre-existing asthma,” Liss says. “In some cases, workers or clients may need to be hospitalized.”

Exposure to chemical va-pours in nail salons can also result in headaches, dizziness and skin problems, Liss adds.

The use of chemicals is on the rise as salons offer an ever-expanding range of options for nail finishings. Employers have a responsibility to pro-vide information to workers so they can work safely, Liss says.

“Employers must protect workers from work-related ill-nesses by controlling or elimi-nating the chemical exposures and providing protective equipment when necessary,” he says.

Workers must know their rights and responsibilities, says Ontario’s recently ap-pointed chief prevention offi-

cer, George Gritziotis. “I say to all workers, ‘Don’t

gamble with your health,’” Gritziotis says.

“It’s not like a card game. When we gamble with work-place safety, there are no win-ners. Everyone loses. Work-related injuries and illnesses are preventable.”

George Habib of the On-tario Lung Association says many countries have docu-mented an increased risk of work-related asthma for nail technicians.

Included are Finland, France, Spain, Sweden, Tur-key and the united Kingdom, says Habib, who is president and chief executive officer of the association.

“If recognized early, work-related asthma can be treated and managed,” Habib says. “Early recognition prevents the illness from getting worse because workers at high risk are removed from further ex-posure. It also prevents others from developing occupational asthma.”

In May 2012, the Ontario Lung Association put out a pamphlet on asthma risks for nail technicians and hairstyl-ists. The pamphlet is avail-able online at www.on.lung .ca/document.doc?id=1128.


FALL IS COMING - BACK TO SCHOOL

With summertime coming to a close, vacations will soon end with the fall to be upon us. Despite this time being bittersweet, it does allow us to ring-in a new school year. Students of all ages, from those attending kindergarten for the first-time to those attending high school for the last-time, dreams and hopes brighten-up so many faces. In this light, I am asking that the small number of people recklessly and ignorantly choose to speed through our neighbourhoods, and in particular, past local schools on a daily basis, be cognizant that our sidewalks and crosswalks will be populated with our most vulnerable members of society. As such, please slow down as these egregious acts put our children, and the adults who supervise them, as they walk to school or play in local parks in serious danger. While so many of our children walk to school, many of them use the school bus. To this end, the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority, in conjunction with Le Consortium de Transport Scolaire d'Ottawa and the School Bus Operators of the Ottawa region, will be presenting the 20th annual School Bus Safety Awareness Day on Sunday, August 26 for all first-time school bus riders. For more information, please visit: www.ottawaschoolbus.ca/content.php?doc=19 OC Transpo also perates many designated school routes with numbers in the 600’s as well as special school trips on other regular routes. To find out which routes serve your school, refer to the list of schools below with their corresponding routes and maps or please visit:www.octranspo.com/tps/jnot/startEN.oci.

For bus arrival times, you may call 613-560-1000 up to 6 days in advance or text 560560 plus your four-digit bus stop number. But the school year is about more than just safety; it’s about new challenges with the opportunities for new successes.

I have always believed that children who play sports benefit from exercise and improve their physical and social well-being. The east end is truly blessed by the sheer volume and quality of volunteers who are the foundation of youth sports. The arts are also very important. It's been demoonstrated that there is a tremendous impact on the developmental growth of every child and has proven to help level the "learning field" across socio-economic boundaries. And so as the summertime comes to a close, I hope that most of us recharged our batteries, made lifetime vacation memories with our families and soaked-up every bit of daylight with friends and family in the backyard.

I would like to wish everyone and their families a happy and safe fall, and if I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

Fun By The Numbers

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

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

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, you may have to put your feelings on the line if you are to gain the respect of someone important to you. Although it may feel uncomfortable, forge ahead.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, some light will be shed on a problem from a past relationship this week. This will strengthen your current relationships with family and friends.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Expect a lot of passion and adventure this week and for the foreseeable future, Gemini. Talk to your partner about his or her desires as well.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Celestial energy will rejuvenate and reenergize you, Cancer. If things have been a little bit boring at home, someone you meet might just provide the spark you need.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23You can find many inspirational forces around you, Leo, which will aid you in making tough decisions. Pay special attention to an overheard conversation.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you may find yourself on the path to some exciting places if you hang out with the right people this week. This is not a time to back out; act outside of your comfort zone.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, you may be looking for a new adventure but haven’t a clue where to start. Anything is possible if you keep your eyes and ears open to everything around you.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Don’t put any limits on your love life, Scorpio. Even a relationship that has withstood the test of time can still prove exciting, spontaneous and adventurous.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21You may find that the energy surrounding you is just a bit overwhelming, Sagittarius. This is remedied by simply staying out of the limelight for a few days.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20It’s the little things that will catch your attention this week, Capricorn. A small detail, a particular color, a note in a song. If others overlook it, you’ll probably zone in on it.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Expect some surprises when attending a get-together with family and friends. An interesting person comes into your life to provide some inspiration.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, a situation arises that forces you to think outside the box. Make decisions promptly but wisely, and you’ll be happy you did.
