Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli, chair of the city’s transportation committee, said there will be 34 Alstom-built trains on the Confederation line, plus six diesel trains on the northsouth Trillium line, that will each need a name. The contest is open to kids in Ottawa ages 16 and under until Dec. 8. Participants can submit as many entries as they like, but each can only win once. Names are to be related to trains, a train service or feature a Canadian or Ottawa connection. They must be bilingual or easily translated, be 16 characters or less, as well as friendly, pleasant and easy to remember, Egli said, adding that famous Canadians, an animal that lives in the Ottawa region, a popular city landmark or an Ottawa-related cultural or historical reference can serve as inspirations. “Think of it this way. You may have been named after a grandparent or an aunt or an uncle,” he told the high school and elementary students. “You may have been named after a character from literature or a historical figure,” Egli said. “You may even have been given a name because it sounded strong or beautiful or inspirational or just plain cool.” Ottawa South MP David McGuinty told the

young crowd they have to give the contest their best shot at choosing something that will stand out. His great grandparents, who lived on a farm in the Ottawa Valley, told him that in 1910, 90 per cent of all Canadians lived in rural areas. McGuinty also told the students that by the time they are 20 years old, 90 per cent will be living in an urban environment, and that the Ottawa and Gatineau region is one of the fastest growing in the country. He said the LRT network is key to reducing pollution and addressing climate change. “That’s also why these trains are so important, that’s why this system is so important for us and that’s also why it’s really cool for all of you to be here,” he said. Contest winners will be invited to a special event in 2018 with Watson and his council colleagues to reveal the new names. Pizza may be on the menu, the mayor hinted, prompting a buzz of excitement. Watson also had a spur-of-the-moment idea to invite the winners to ride the entire length of the system on opening day. “And of course you’ll have the pride of knowing that the name you’ve submitted will be placed on one of the LRT trains,” he said.

The local Alzheimer Society has changed its name, but not its mission

The Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County has a new name! After 35 years of supporting local families living with dementia, the local non-profit organization has changed its name to “The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County” to more properly reflect the constituency it helps and the scope of its expertise. When the organization first came into being, Alzheimer’s disease was the best known and most prevalent form of dementia. This has changed and Alzheimer’s disease is now thought to represent less than 30% of all dementias.*

“Our organization has always worked with people challenged by Lewy Body, Frontotemporal, Vascular, Parkinsonian and other dementias but this has not been reflected in our name,” says Paddy Bowen, Chief Executive Director of the newly named The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County. “We are also cognizant of the growing tide of interest in dementia as reflected by the recently announced Ontario Dementia Strategy and the National Dementia Strategy.” The Dementia Society is here to help. We offer: • One to one support • Social programs • Peer support • Information and resources • Education Because no one should face dementia alone.

The sleep-deprived teens

orget the zombie apocalypse. A new report suggests we may be in the midst of a sleep-deprivation epidemic among teenagers. I often think back to the bedtime battles I had when my kids were toddlers. It’s a theme well captured in children’s books. The child gets a bath, bottle, book and cuddles in bed. The lights go out. Five minutes later a small voice calls from the dark, “Mom, I’m thirsty.” And this goes on countless times for the next 30 minutes as exhausted parents, who really just want to veg out in front of the TV for an hour or check Facebook, are interrupted countless times. Years ago, we managed to nip this in the bud with our boys. We had the three-B routine. They were told to address all concerns before lights out. Failure to comply led to an automatic bedroom door closure. There are three reasons we approached it this way: We were tired; we were strict; and we wanted to protect their nighttime sleep as much as possible to avoid behavioural problems. Now, with the eldest two on the brink of the teen years, we’ve fallen off the rails. Kids’ activities run late, my five-year-old daughter has a stuffed animal party for at least an hour every day after lights out, and the boys seem to find a million and one things that have to be accomplished when their heads are meant to be hitting the pillow, including checking email and instant messaging. Frankly, we’ve become soft and more tired. (I often go to bed before my eldest children). A new study in the Journal of Sleep Medicine suggests we may have to return to our drill-sergeant ways. The report says adolescents are getting far less sleep today than they were a decade ago. While it may seem like hyperbole, researchers are suggesting the social and health repercussions of a sleepdeprived generation are vast and dangerous. Researchers looked at sleep data among teens between 2009 -2015 from two major U.S. surveys of more than 370,000 adolescents. They found teenagers in the latter years of the study are reporting significantly fewer hours of sleep per day. “Compared to 2009, adolescents in 2015 were 16 per cent to 17 per cent more likely to report sleeping less than 7 hours a night on most nights, with an increase in short sleep duration after 2011-2013,” note

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse the authors. One of the study’s co-authors told CBC described these results as a “seismic shift.” The study examined a multitude of factors that may be contributing to less sleep among teens. The time teens spend doing homework, working for pay and watching television appeared to remain stable or actually decrease over the six-year period, while use of smartphones and other screen technology increased substantially. Although fewer than two hours per day of screen time doesn’t seem to affect nighttime sleep, the authors suggest a correlation between excessive time spent on screens and the

sleep deprivation epidemic. The National Sleep Foundation in the U.S. suggests fewer than 15 per cent of teens in that country are currently getting enough sleep. According to the organization lack of sleep can “limit [the] ability to learn, listen, concentrate and solve problems, [and cause you to forget] information like names, numbers, your homework or [dates].” It can even make teens more prone to acne and other skin problems. The obvious correlation between smartphone use and sleep deprivation has led to recommendations from health professionals to remove technology from bedrooms. As with adults, kids need to learn to shutdown screens a couple of hours before lights out. We’ve long banned screen technology from bedrooms. But most parents know that kids are sneaky. More than once we’ve confiscated devices under the pillow at midnight. Obviously, we’ll have to up our game. The kids’ health depends on it.

Take time to remember

emembrance Day falls on a Saturday this year, so we can expect even larger turnouts than ever at the various Remembrance ceremonies around the region, including the service at the National War Memorial at Confederation Square in downtown Ottawa. But Saturday or not, Remembrance Day services have been attracting more and more in recent years as appreciation for the service of those in the Armed Forces both in the past and today continues to grow. The 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge marked earlier this year further enhanced our view of the sacrifices made in battle by so many thousands of young Canadian soldiers on that muddy battlefield a century ago. Indeed, many claim that Canada came of age as a nation due to battles like Vimy and Passchendaele in the First World War. It has taken decades, though, for Canadians in general to realize the horrors of war which these soldiers endured, battling in overseas lands to protect our freedom and democracy here in Canada. Slowly, there has been increasing awareness of these wartime — and peacetime — sacrifices by Canadian soldiers. So, today it is not unusual to hear a soldier in uniform, perhaps riding a bus, being thanked for his or her service or someone in conversation thanking a person for his or her service when learning of their

military involvement. In this world of terrorism and war in so many places around the world, there is now evolving an ever-increasing respect and admiration for those who are putting their lives on the line to protect our way of life in Canada. But Remembrance Day is serving yet another function as well. It serves to focus the attention of Canadians on their country and how fortunate we as Canadians are to live in such a free and open society where people can pursue their dreams and aspirations. So Remembrance Day, while a time of sombre remembrance, is also a time of reflective celebration, knowing that thanks to the sacrifices and efforts of so many, we are a country where the rule of law and respect for all prevail. We are fortunate to live in such a country and we must never forget that Canada is what it is today because so many died and so many more have served on the battlefields of Europe, Korea and elsewhere in the world. We are a country formed by the experiences of war but, thankfully, are not adherents of such warlike behaviour. Knowing our history and, more importantly, remembering it must never be lost. Respecting Remembrance Day is one way of ensuring this as the years go on.

Who’s ready for legalized pot? How about nobody?

s we lurch toward the July 1 celebration of marijuana becoming legal in Canada, we encounter confusing signposts along the way. For example, just the other day it was announced that a giant U.S. liquor company will partner with a Smiths Falls company to make cannabisinfused drinks. Already such drinks, with fruity flavours to appeal to young people, are on sale in U.S. states where marijuana is legal. Drinkable marijuana: did anybody think about that when legalization was being hailed? Given that there is already edible marijuana, the cookies, gummy bears and, yes, cotton candy already in production, one of the major drawbacks to marijuana use — having to smoke it — is being removed. So more people will be able to use it easily. Including more kids.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Another signpost: 58.5 per cent of Canadians in a recent survey said they had concerns about children and youth having greater access to recreational marijuana when it is legal. This despite the federal government’s claim that legalization of marijuana will make it somehow less available to young people. Interestingly, the drinkable marijuana story coincides with another news item, in which the federal Liberal government announces a five-year, $36.4-million campaign to help teach Canadians — especially young Canadians ones — about the health and safety

risks of using marijuana. Perhaps that has something to do with the opposition of addiction-research people to legalization and concerns expressed in the medical community about the effects of marijuana on young brains. Here’s another signpost: Richmond, B.C. city council has voted unanimously to send a letter to the provincial and federal governments outlining its opposition to legalization. The council is asking for jurisdiction to impose stricter rules, and to allow councils and landlords to bar marijuana use in their buildings. “The federal government is going to do what they’re going to do,” said one councillor. “But we as a city must be allowed to control where and how those products are being sold.” Richmond’s statement is but one example of the peculiar governmental framework surrounding legalization — namely, that the federal govern-

Development proposals by Mattamy Homes and Glenview Homes will be presented to residents at a public consultation on Nov. 22 at the Minto Recreation Complex.

Mattamy Homes, Glenview Homes to hold public consultation on development CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

Mattamy Homes and Glenview Homes will hold a public consultation on planned subdivisons at the Minto Recreation Complex on Nov. 22. Mattamy’s plan for their subdivision includes 1,020 residential units, two commercial blocks, an employment block, a secondary school site, parkland and stormwater management facilities. The area in question is 61 hectares with 24 hectares reserved for residential construction. For the Glenview project, the plan is to de-

velop 211 residential units, including 117 singled detached homes and 94 townhouses. The proposal also includes one park block, one open space block, one school block, one stormwater management block and one commercial block with a 24 metre collector road that will intersect with Borrisokane Road to accommodate commercial activity and bus traffic in the area. At the meeting, residents are encouraged to voice any concerns or questions they may have about the projects. Residents will also be taken through the construction process and the approximate timeframes. For more information on the proposals, visit ottawa.ca/devapps.

PUBLIC MEETINGS

• a new municipal transformer station (MTS) within the study area shown on the map; and • rebuilding an existing 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission line to a new double circuit line with 230 kV capacity. This line would connect the new MTS to the 230 kV line south of West Hunt Club Road.

Public board trustees with tense history sparring again CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

Ottawa public school board trustee Donna Blackburn has been accused of harassment again according to emails received by Metroland Media. Emails outline a conversation between Barrhaven trustee Donna Blackburn and fellow trustees Erica Braunovan, Chris Ellis and Shirley Seward. The thread begins with an email from Blackburn to Braunovan about her bid to represent the NDP in her riding: “Dear Erica,” the email reads. “I have just been informed, as I predicted you have once again lost an NDP nomination. I trust now moving forward you will now put the interests of the OCDSB above that of your personal political goals. I have no doubt, given your arrogance you will run yet again for another nomination.”

“But for now the OCDSB (Ottawa-Carleton District School Board) is stuck with you and I suspect you are in line to remain in a leadership position.” Blackburn went on to reference someone who endorsed Braunovan’s run for the NDP representative and their reference of “texts.” “I did note he gave a speech referencing the “texts” I appreciate that you have and want to get as much mileage out of the “texts” as possible. Kudos to you for diverting the corruption that has gone on at SEAC. But you should know there is no Trustee on the Board who spends as much time being a Trustee than me. Like it or not I am the face of the OCDSB in the community. The truth is now coming out.” The “texts” that Blackburn is referring to here could be the ones where Blackburn accused Braunovan of “buying” her children that Black-

burn sent and then apologized for late last year. “You have the potential to be a decent trustee. This cannot be said for Chris and Shawn. Lost causes there. So moving forward I look forward to working with you in a positive way for the betterment of our students and staff. Take care, Donna.” Braunovan’s reply is as follows: “Donna, stop. Cease and desist. I have ignored far to many of these mean-spirited email messages over the course of the last few months. Do not send any more non-essential messages that do not relate directly to the work of the board.” “This and any further communication will be called out as harassment. I am so tired of attempts to bully me, and as such am copying the rest of the board and the director of education, to bare witness to the ongoing harassment I have felt since my first month on the OCDSB board. Very

sincerely, Erica.” Braunovan has had issues with Blackburn’s behaviour in the past, and just last week it was brought to light that an investigation into Blackburn’s behaviour cost the board $51,000 to investigate. Blackburn has also apologized to Braunovan and Ellis in the past for things that she has said. Ellis also replied to the email as he then forwarded it to the rest of the trustees. “This is intolerable,” said Ellis in an email. “No one should have to put up with this.” “I’m also concerned with the false accusation of ‘the corruption that has gone on at SEAC.’ Who else is Trustee Blackburn making such false accusations to?” “I’m breaking my habit of honoring Trustee Blackburn’s request of not receiving any emails from me in this instance and am including her in this response.”

“Dear Chris, thank you for your feedback,” replied Blackburn. “You are a Trustee who has no clue what a Trustee should be doing. You think our Director Dr. Jennifer Adams shouldn’t be our Director. Did you even finish high school? So thank you for your feedback, Donna” The end of the chain was an email from Braunovan to Blackburn. When asked for a response to these emails, Braunovan illustrated her disappointment with the messages. “I was very disappointed to receive such a hurtful message from a fellow trustee.” said Braunovan in an email. “I endeavour to work with other Board members and staff of the Board in a spirit of respect, openness, courtesy, and co-operation and believe that is a responsibility of every trustee.” Blackburn did not return a response when asked for a statement about the emails.

Mayor calls for review of housing first policy Health Association and the John Howard Society to match tenants with units, fell short for a Vanier landlord whose unit was trashed.

Reports of a trashed Vanier apartment have led to calls for a review of the city’s housing first program. The program, which aims to combat chronic homelessness by working with partners like the Salvation Army, the Canadian Mental

facing “housing barriers,” according to the Salvation Army’s website. The program provides a housing allowance of $250 per month; the rest of the rent is paid through the tenant’s primary source of income — be it Ontario Works, Canada Pension Plan or the Ontario Disability Support Program. According to the website, tenants are pre-screened and offered longDidn’t get your

term supports “to ensure successful tenancies.” But Mayor Jim Watson said media reports that a caseworker hadn’t met with the tenant in seven months mean the program needs another look. “I’ve seen the footage,” Watson said of television reports inside the apartment that show overflowing garbage and maggots. “It’s absolutely disgusting. I have great sympathy for the landlord; he was trying to do something good and help a homeless person.” Watson said he’s asked city manager Steve Kanellakos to come back to council with information on what happened. “There were many hands on that project,” he said. Watson said council has put a record amount of funding into homelessness initiatives and there will more dollars available in the next budget. He declined to give specifics, but said he’s proud of how the draft budget is shaping up. “Housing is a priority of this term of council,” he said. When asked if he’d consider lifting the two per cent property tax increase cap he set when he was elected, Watson said he thinks the city has the tools to deal with long-

standing issues raised by residents without going after more money. “For some there’s never enough money,” he said. “We’ve decided to stick to the rate of inflation.” Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said for the city’s housing first program to work properly, there needs to be more “boots on the ground.” “We can’t just rely on city agreements and CMHA (Canadian Mental Health Association) and think that’s OK,” he said. “The city needs to sit down with the landlord and find out what went wrong.” Fleury said the fact that a landlord’s unit was trashed proves there are gaps in the approach. He added the city approved the housing first plan in 2012 to shift away from using shelters to house the chronically homeless, but there hasn’t been enough of a financial commitment to the change. When the philosophy is applied properly, it works, Fleury said, pointing to a project two years ago with the John Howard Society that provided permanent homes to 42 men who had been using the shelter system. Fleury said the city needs to do a review of all existing housing first clients to make sure what happened in Vanier is an isolated case.

Legislation to help businesses PROVINCE OF ONTARIO

Ontario has passed legislation to make it easier for businesses to grow and create more jobs. The Cutting Unnecessary Red Tape Act, 2017 will reduce regulatory burdens and practices that cost businesses time and money, while protecting environmental and health standards and ensuring worker safety. The changes to cut red tape and help small businesses grow include: Reducing regulatory costs: Requiring all ministries to offset every dollar of new administrative costs to business by removing $1.25 of old and unnecessary costs, while protecting environmental, health and worker safety standards. Streamlining compliance for small business: Ensuring that undue burdens arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t placed on small businesses when new or amended regulations are introduced, while maintaining robust environmental, health and safety re-

quirements and other public interest protections. International or national standards alignment: Increasing harmonization with other jurisdictions and adopting international or national standards, where appropriate, when developing or reviewing regulations. Rewarding good actors: Recognizing businesses with good compliance records and lowering their costs by reducing requirements, without compromising the environ-

ment health and safety, and other pro tections. Electronic transmission guarantee: Providing businesses the option to electronically submit any required documentation to the Government of Ontario instead of more costly paper submissions. Reducing fees and other costs: Reviewing licence and registration fees paid with a goal of providing relief to small- and medium-sized businesses.

City staff unveils new process for developer built parks BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city is looking to clarify rules around developer-built parks. The last park and pathway development manual was done in 2012. Council decided on a new funding model for parks outside the greenbelt in 2014, requiring an update to the manual. The planning committee heard a staff report that includes two new types of parks — the urban parkette and woodland parks. Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said he’s glad to have a policy in place, but argued some parks were never built because there were no park-dedicated funds in the development charges. He wanted to know how the new policy would help communities that have been built,

but are now “in limbo” waiting for a park. So far, the practice during the transition to the new process has been to fund some legacy parks, or to return a portion of the development charges to allow for a park to be built by the developer. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri had some concerns about a park in the Fernbank subdivision. He wanted to know if developers had to have a timeline in place to build parks. Parks are traditionally part of a plan for a subdivision — meaning developers submit the timeline, staff said. Despite the changes to the process, staff said bigger community parks will still trigger the need for an application to build them. Council has to approve the new process on Nov. 8.

Algonquin students participate in a rally to have their voices heard on Nov. 3 at Algonquin College. The rally called for students to get in touch with their MPPs to put pressure on the bargaining process and get students back in class.

Algonquin Students hold rally to voice frustrations over strike CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

Algonquin College students are sick of being stuck in the middle of a strike between OPSEU and the College Employer Council. And after two weeks of no school and little word between sides, they are making their voices heard. The Algonquin College Students Association held a rally on Nov. 3 at the college to call for those in attendance to get in touch with their MPPs and implore the provincial government to step in. “Students are a focal point of our college system and not an afterthought,” said Brett Parnell, member of the Algonquin SA board of directors to the rally-goers. “Therefore today I need you all to be contacting your local members of provincial parliament.” Students with signs at the rally echoed the sentiments of the SA with a majority of them slamming both sides for using the students at a bargaining chip. According to SA president Victoria Ventura, students must demand what’s best for them in this complicated situation. “We have missed 14 full days of our semester

and I’m confident in saying we won’t be back in class on Monday,” said Ventura. “Being pro-student doesn’t mean you’re inherently anti-faculty or anti-administration. This is not a case of if you’re not with us, you’re against us, in this situation it’s so complex that it can’t just be that simple. We’re all in this together and that’s the point.” The impact on students continues to grow. Fall convocation has been cancelled and students that were due to graduate this November must now wait until June. Whether or not the rest of the semester will be cancelled is still up in the air, and with negotiations resuming just last Thursday there is still a lot of ground to cover. “The students association has been consistently vocal that we respect the collective bargaining process,” said Ventura. “Even the faculty’s right to strike. In the end though, what we want is an agreement to be reached that’s fair and feasible for both sides and to get students back to class.” Ventura went on to implore rally-goers to get in touch with their MPPs and demand that if an agreement is not made by Monday Nov. 6, that they must apply pressure to the process to ensure a speedy resolution.

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Canadians gather on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, around cenotaphs, parks, community halls, workplaces, schools and homes each year to observe a moment of silence and to mark sacrifices that have come from war. On Nov. 11, beginning at 10:20 a.m., the Royal Canadian Legion National Remembrance Day Ceremony at the National War Memorial in Ottawa will begin. Gov. Gen. Julie Payette as well as representatives of the government of Canada will attend the ceremony. Dominion President of the Royal Canadian Legion David Flannigan and members of veterans organizations and diplomatic corps will also be in attendance. The Silver Cross Mother this year is Diana Abel of Brampton, Ont. Abel will place a wreath, in honour of her only son Cpl. Michael David Abel who was killed in the line of duty on May 3, 1993 while serving in Belet Huen, Somalia as part of a United Nations peacekeeping effort during the early part of the Somali civil war. VIEWING

Spectators are encouraged to come early to the National War Memorial to get a good vantage point. The ceremony will also be projected on jumbo screens set up around the memorial with numerous speakers broadcasting the audio of the entire ceremony. From 8:30 to 10 a.m., the Virtual Wall of Honour and Remembrance will be displayed on these screens. According to the legion, Canadians have been “building” this virtual wall of almost 2,000 photographs of Veterans who have now passed.

History of the poppy ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION

Each November, poppies bloom on the lapels and collars of millions of Canadians. The significance of the poppy can be traced back to the Napoleonic Wars in the 19th century, over 110 years before being adopted in Canada. Records from that time indicate how thick poppies grew over the graves of soldiers in the area of Flanders, France. Fields that had been barren before battle exploded with the blood-red flowers after the fighting ended. During the tremendous bombardments of the war, the chalk soils became rich in lime from rubble, allowing the popaver rhoeas to thrive. When the war ended, the lime was quickly absorbed and the poppy began to disappear again. The person who first introduced the poppy to Canada and the Commonwealth was Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae of Guelph, Ont., a Canadian medical officer during the First World War. McCrae penned the poem “In Flanders Fields” on a scrap of paper in May, 1915 on the day following the death of a fellow soldier. Little did he know those 13 lines would become enshrined in the hearts and minds of all who would wear them. McCrae’s poem was published in Punch Magazine in December of that same year, and the poem later served as inspiration three years later for Moina Michael, an American teacher. Michael made a pledge to always wear a poppy as a sign of Remembrance. During a visit to the United States in

1920, a French woman named Madame Guerin learned of the custom. Guerin decided to make and sell poppies to raise money for children in war-torn areas of France. The Great War Veteran’s Association in Canada (our predecessor) officially adopted the poppy as its Flower of Remembrance on July 5, 1921. Today, the poppy is worn each year during the Remembrance period to honour Canada’s Fallen. The Legion also encourages the wearing of a poppy for the funeral of a veteran and for any commemorative event honouring fallen veterans. It is not inappropriate to wear a poppy during other times to commemorate fallen veterans and it is an individual choice to do so, as long as it’s worn appropriately. Thanks to the millions of Canadians who wear the Legion’s lapel poppy each November, the little red flower has never died, and the memories of those who fell in battle remain strong.

Submit a photo for Virtual Wall Pilgrimage of Remembrance As a way to honour and remember relatives and friends who have served Canada, Canadians are invited to forward a photograph of a deceased veteran to Dominion Command to be displayed on large video screens located near the National War Memorial and shown prior to the start of the Remembrance Day Ceremony held on Nov. 11. Deceased Canadian veterans (including those who were part of the merchant navy and ferry command), whose death was attributable to any cause before or after they served, can be part of the Virtual Wall of Honour. • Include high resolution electronic files or high resolution photo prints (the quality of the image submitted dictates the quality of the image displayed). • Include the veteran’s name, years of service, element or force, regiment/unit to which the departed belonged. • One image for each honoured veteran will be used • No original photographs, service records or other documentation please; they cannot be

returned. Submissions will be included in the 2018 edition. Send photos to the Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command, 86 Aird Place, Ottawa ON, K2L 0A1 or RememberingThem@legion. ca.

The Royal Canadian Legion Pilgrimage of Remembrance began in 1928 with a visit to Vimy, France, for the unveiling of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial. Since that time, promoting a pilgrimage has been a part of our efforts to encourage Remembrance. Pilgrimages are conducted every two years. The next Pilgrimage of Remembrance is scheduled for July, 2019. Please note the Legion’s Pilgrimage is conducted

in English. Individuals wishing to attend the pilgrimage should indicate their interest to the Dominion Command Coordinator, Danny Martin: dmartin@legion.ca Today’s pilgrimage encompasses some of the most important, as well as some of the least known, events of the First World War and the Second World War. Over 15 days, pilgrims experience being in the trenches of the First World War and the beaches of Normandy, and visit sites throughout Northern France and Belgium. They also experience the emotions of the Veterans, and of those they liberated. Ceremonies of Remembrance will be conducted at the cemeteries where so many Canadians found their final rest-

ing place. Taking a pilgrimage is important for a variety of reasons. For those who fought on the battlefields, a pilgrimage provides an opportunity to not only visit their fallen comrades, but for closure that may only be possible through revisiting the site(s) of so many memories. For those who lost family and loved ones on the fields, a pilgrimage is a way to shorten the distance between home and the site of their loss. For people who only connect with the battlefields through history books and our Canadian heritage, visiting these sites is an opportunity to more fully understand the sacrifices that were made by many for the freedom that we continue to enjoy today.

Time to remember the sacrifices of so many — Vous n’êtes pas oublié(e)s!

‘Waste not, want not’ was way in Mary’s household 1-888-657-6193

classifiedseast@metroland.com

here was no way of getting out of eating a heaping bowl full of porridge for breakfast. Mother made enough to feed half of Renfrew county. And even though it was my least favourite morning food, it was put before me, and I was expected to eat the bowl clean. If not, I would get the usual story of the starving Armenians, which meant I was supposed to be grateful that I at least had something to put in my mouth. Occasionally, and only occasionally, Mother would come home from Briscoe’s General Store with a box of Shredded Wheat. Although I was no more fond of it than I was of porridge, it was the box and the treasures inside that thrilled me to the bone! The cereal came in an oblong box, and inside were about three layers of shredded wheat “biscuits,” divided by cardboard sheets. It was those sheets which caused me to rejoice when Mother found a few extra pennies to add this special cereal to our order. Each sheet had a different picture, usually a country scene, and sometimes an animal looking out around a tree. My sister Audrey and my three brothers thought they were much too old to be bothered with the cards from the Shredded Wheat box, and so I became the sole owner. As soon as the box came in the house, Mother would let me rip it open and remove the cards ... carefully of course, so that the biscuits wouldn’t be broken. I would get my crayons and spend time colouring each card, and once done, they would be added to a growing collection, which I treasured, and kept securely hidden in my washstand drawer. That was because my brother Emerson threatened to fork them into the Findlay Oval when I wasn’t looking. He thought once the cards were coloured, they should be

MARY COOK Memories claim to it as well. It made a perfect bed for the smallest of my dolls, and I once tried to cram my new kitten into one, but she was having none of that. And when it came to eating the Shredded Wheat, like the porridge, it certainly didn’t appeal to me. Mother would pour boiling water on one of the little loaves, drain the bowl, and then add the cream and brown sugar. The rest of the family thought it was a real treat. Of course, Father would still have to have his fried potatoes and salt pork. It didn’t take long for the Shredded Wheat boxes to become battered and so I would have to tear it down into flat My sister Audrey and pieces. It was then added to the my three brothers wood box, along the side where Father kept old copthought they were ies of the Renfrew Mercury much too old to and the Family Herald and Weekly Star. It too would go be bothered with to help start the Findlay Oval the cards from the in the morning. Like everything else that Shredded Wheat box came into the house, be it from the general store, or from Renfrew, or from the garden, or the smoke house, nothing was wasted. It gave me great satisfaction to know that one of Father’s favourite little hole in one corner, sayings “waste not ... want and if you wanted to, you could put in a piece of string not,” could be even applied through the hole. But I could to the Shredded Wheat boxes that on rare occasions came never figure out what on earth, if anything, this added into our house. to the cards.

But I saved each one, and soon had a stack inches thick, held together with string. I could spend many an hour just sitting quietly with my pack of cards, looking and re-looking at them. Sometimes I would go upstairs when I had nothing else to do, and take the pile of cards out of my washstand and lay them out on the bed. I had so many that they would cover the entire quilt.

CHEO reporting spike in ER visits, many not requiring emergency treatment BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

CHEO is facing a spike in emergency room visits, prompting hospital officials to ask families to prepare for longer waits or consider alternative options. The children’s hospital is dealing with a 15-per-cent spike in October, compared to this time last year. And while there has been “a steady increase” in ER visits over the past several years, the hospital has been able to manage wait times, CHEO officials said in a statement on Oct. 20. Last month, 44 per cent of visits to the emergency department did not require emergency treatment. The team at CHEO typically sees an uptick in ER visits largely related to high rates of respiratory infections and viral illnesses in February and March. But volumes this month are nearing those levels. “Because urgent cases are seen FOR SALE

first, families with a less urgent problem can expect to have longer wait times in a crowded emergency department,” the hospital said in a statement. “Added to these higher-thannormal volumes, hospital staff expects that low-acuity waits may be even longer in the coming weeks as CHEO begins using its new digital health record system in the emergency department.” As staff adapt to the newly announced patient health information system, called Epic, in which each patient will have one digital health record, some of their tasks may take longer in the short term, said hospital officials. “Before making a trip to emergency and facing potentially long waits as we manage higher volumes, we encourage families to consult some of the available online resources to help their decision,” Dr. Gina Neto, CHEO’s chief of emergency medicine, said in the news release.

“Often the child’s primary care provider is the best option,” she said. Many common health conditions can be managed safely at home or via a family doctor or walk-in clinic, including fever and cough in healthy, immunized children, as well as breathing issues caused by nasal congestion and cough, common cold symptoms, or mild asthma symptoms, Neto said. Vomiting or diarrhea that occurs less than four times a day are also on that list. While some procedures can only be accessed in a hospital, including stitches, casts or trauma treatment, others are available at medical offices, clinics and labs, including treatment for acute problems.

Lung Association launches radon awareness month BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

Access to Flu Vaccine in Ottawa During the 2016-2017 flu season, Ottawa Public Health (OPH) administered 7,400 influenza vaccines at community clinics, and distributed over 253,000 doses of the vaccine across the City to physicians’ offices, hospitals and long term facilities. Pharmacies also received over 118, 300 doses of the vaccine.

It’s in basements in every home in all of Canada. You can’t see it or smell it, but if it accumulates to high enough levels it can become a health hazard. It is also one of the leading causes of lung cancer after smoking. “I wish we knew years ago about the risk of lung cancer from radon exposure,” said Mark Nielson, whose wife, Lori was diagnosed with lung cancer just after their family dog was found also to have lung cancer. It was their family doctor who recommended the Nielson’s get their house tested for radon. Radon is a colourless, odourless, radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium found everywhere in the soil and rock. It gets into building through cracks in the foundation, floor drains or openings for pipes. “When we tested our home we found the level was over the guideline,” Mark said. Lori died in January. The Lung Association has launched the fifth annual Radon Action Month in Canada on Oct. 24 at the National Research Council. The goal, the association said, is to help get the word out to all Canadians about the risks of radon. According to Health Canada, more than 3,000 people die from radon-induced lung cancer each year. Kelley Bush, who heads up Health Canada’s radon program said the government agency’s aim is to significant progress to mitigate radon levels in homes. “Only a small amount of Canadians take action to test,” Bush said, adding even a smaller amount to take action after a test comes back with a reading of high levels. This year the association has partnered with the Canadian Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (CARST) for the awareness month. CARST will be offering a total of $10,000 for a National Radon Reduction Sweepstakes. The sweepstakes is intended to reward homeowners who have tested their home for radon and taken action to reduce levels to below the Canadian Radon guideline level. Health Canada has set a guideline of 200 becquerel (a unit of radioactivity) square metres. Bush said the health risks from ra-

CARRIER OF THE MONTH

Know Who to Call and When to Call There are three key numbers in Ottawa to call for help and information. These numbers may be confusing, especially to newcomers, immigrants and vulnerable seniors. It is important for everyone to know who to call and when to call. For life threatening emergencies including fire, medical or a crime in progress call 9-1-1. If you have questions about services that the City of Ottawa provides including garbage and recycling, recreation programs and your property tax bill to name a few, you would call 3-1-1. If you are looking for information on government and community based health and social services, housing, elder abuse and meals for seniors and people with disabilities, you could call 2-1-1. If you would like a “Who to Call” Neighbourhood Toolkit fridge magnet, please e-mail: cpo@ottawa.ca.ear.

For renters, especially those who rent basement apartments, Bush said there is no policy to say if radon is found, that the landlord would have to pay to fix the problem. She adds that is a problem that she hopes will soon have a solution. “The tenancy act is being updated for testing to be a part of renting a property,” Bush said, referring to the Ontario Tenant Act. Schools and daycares are also on Health Canada’s list as must-test places, but right now, each province has their own guidelines and standards for testing. Bush said the province of Quebec tested all their schools in 2014, and mitigated where necessary. In British Colombia, Bush adds, in areas where radon levels are typically higher, the government is requiring all daycares to be tested. “The concern is exposure over long period of times,” Bush said, explaining the push to make sure areas where children frequent are tested. “But that being said, every single house that is in contact with the ground has radon in it, and the only way to learn how much radon is to test,” Bush said. Testing can cost between $20 to $40. Nunavut, Bush noted, is the only area where they tested and found zero radon activity. Bush said it was because most of those homes are built on stilts.

Daisie (ID# A203954)

Microchipping: Your Pet’s Way of Telling Who They Are and Where They Live Does your cat or dog have a microchip? Tiny and virtually painless to implant, this life-long form of identification may mean the difference between never seeing your lost pet again and having her returned safely to you. A microchip provides a permanent means of pet identification. Each grain-sized microchip has a unique ID number that can be scanned at shelters and vet clinics. Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost pet has been found. Microchips will not fade or be lost over time. Owner information can be accessed electronically and immediately, ensuring the speedy return of a lost pet. While tags may be lost from time to time, tags are still important as a quick and visual way of identifying your pet.

Pet of the Week: Daisie (ID# A203954) Meet Daisie, a sweet and unique looking kitty looking for her purr-fect match.

The OHS holds monthly microchip clinics and the next one is coming up on Nov. 12 from 9 a.m. to noon. The cost is $50 for the first pet and $25 for each additional pet — a small price to pay for a lifetime of security. For more information, call 613-725-3166 ext. 221 or email microchip@ottawahumane.ca.

Daisie can be a little shy at first, but once she feels comfortable around you, she cuddle up beside you on the couch and snuggle in bed with you at night. She enjoys short play sessions with her favourite wand toy. Daisie is looking for a quiet, mature home with a predictable routine. Are you the one Daisie has been looking for?
