LOOK INSIDE FOR YOUR CANADIAN Grammy and Juno award-winning Canadian musician Sarah McLachlan joined students from Nepean’s Suzuki Guitar School at the Main branch on TIRE FLYER Nov. 7 to announce the start of a new program at the Ottawa Public Library, the Sun Life Financial Musical Instrument Lending Library program.

Colleges say OPSEU ‘stonewalling’ negotiation, union says otherwise CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

The college employer council are crying foul at OPSEU, claiming the union has “stonewalled” the bargaining process in a release on Nov. 6.

“OPSEU’s insistence on continuing the strike is a terrible outcome for students and faculty,” said Sonia Del

Missier, chair of the college’s bargaining team in the release. “We addressed all faculty priorities and the offer that is available for faculty right now - on the table - should have ended this strike.”

The colleges also said they brought forth what they believed are solutions to the priorities that OPSEU put forth before the faculty went on strike.

ACADEMIC FREEDOM

o

Ensures that every college will have

an academic freedom policy that recognizes that academic freedom is fundamental to the colleges’ commitment to academic excellence and will include the right to enquire about, investigate, pursue and speak freely about academic issues without fear of impairment to position or other reprisal The Ontario government has also proposed a task force the look at various issues in respect to the future of colleges in the province. These include staffing models and the issues of precarious work. That issue was missing from the colleges offer as no mention was made to the job security of existing partial-load faculty but instead they would make it easier to get re-hired.

According to OPSEU, the college employer council are the one’s who do not wish to bargain, instead turning to the OLRB to have the union members vote.

“Rather than continue to bargain, the colleges have called a vote that, in itself, could easily keep faculty and students out of their classrooms for another two weeks,” said JP

Hornick, chair of the faculty bargaining team for OPSEU in a release.

While the college employer council are saying the call to vote was necessary due to “stonewalling” the union are saying the colleges are the ones unwilling to negotiate.

“Negotiation is the only way to go at this juncture,” OPSEU president Warren Thomas said in the release. “I agree completely with recent statements by the Premier and

by Advanced Education Minister Deb Matthews that the solution to this strike is at the bargaining table. The strike has gone on long enough, and we don’t need employer-caused delays making it go even longer.”

“Any fair-minded person watching the faculty strike right now can see who’s being reasonable and who’s not,” Thomas said.

“College faculty are fighting for job security and equal pay for contract faculty, and fighting for full-time jobs. College presidents want to expand the pool of precarious workers and dodge their equal-pay obligations.

“Three points off the backboard!”

The swift sound of a swoosh is suddenly drowned out byy a victorious cheer. Brothers Charlie and Billy are standing face to face in front of the basketball hoop in the driveway. Charlie lifts his fist in the air in celebration. Billy rolls his eyes. “I’ll get you back for that!”

As the two brothers continue their basketball game, their sister Eleanor sits nearby listening to music on the front step. At first glance, the three siblings seem to be leading : a pretty regular life. However, one major piece is missing for their story to be complete a family to call their own.

Charlie, Billy and Eleanor are children in the care of The Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa who are currently in need of adoptive parents. An athletic and energetic group of kids, the three of them love to play sports such as basketball, hockey, and soccer. Charlie is 13 years old and can easily spend hours playing outside with his brother and sister. 14-year-old Billy is a kind and polite young man with a playful and energetic side. At 15 years old, Eleanor is an outgoing and social teenager who enjoys hanging out with her friends and participating in extra-curricular activities.

There is nothing in the world these siblings want more than an adoptive family who can welcome them all into their home. While adopting three children at once may seem like an overwhelming adjustment, the deep-rooted bonds already formed between the brothers and sister make it clear that there is no alternative.

We are currently looking for an active family who is able to provide a nurturing and stable environment for all three siblings. The children have expressed how important it is for them to be adopted together. The siblings have an attachment to the Kanata/ West End area that we would love to maintain.

A new program launched at the Ottawa Public Library will be music to cardholder’s ears.

The library announced borrowing musical instruments is now available at two of Ottawa Public Library branches locations starting this month with its new program, the Instrument Lending Library.

The library had a little bit of musical star power to make the announcement at the main branch on Nov. 7.

Along with a Yamaha guitar, Grammy and Juno Award-winning Canadian musician Sarah McLachlan attended the announcement.

“I think we all need music in our lives,” McLachlan said. “With music being cut from schools, this lending library becomes even more important.”

Chief operating officer for the library, Danielle McDonald said this program is essential to help fostering curiosity and creativity.

“The Sun Life Financial Musical Instrument Lending Library program is a great example of how our library inspires learning, sparks curiosity, and connects people, allowing everyone to share in the joy of creating music,” McDonald said.

Instruments are available on loan for three weeks. Card holders can place instruments on hold.

As of Nov. 8 a number of the instruments

were either signed out or already placed on hold and instruments can be picked up at a local branch.

The program, which allows any one with a valid library card the opportunity to borrow a variety of musical instruments, is courtesy of the Sun Life Financial Musical Instrument Lending Library program.

In addition to donating 150 instruments including guitars, banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, violins, drums, and portable keyboards, Sun Life Financial made a $140,000 donation to OPL to fund the program’s operating costs.

There will be videos available to assist with use, care and enjoyment of the instruments.

Paul Joliat, assistant vice-president, philanthropy and sponsorships for Sun Life Financial, said he can’t wait to hear about young budding musicians who credit their love for music to a library.

The program will be available at the main branch, 120 Metcalfe St. and Nepean Centrepointe branch, 101 Centrepointe Dr. The Instrument Lending Library program will be the first of its kind in the region and one of six libraries in Canada participating in the lending program.

This program is an extension of Sun Life Financial’s Making the Arts More Accessible program.

Library to hold donation drive to expand instrument selection Continued from page 4

The program launched in 2004, to date the organization has donated more than $2.5 million in funding to organizations including Culture Days, Sarah McLachlan School of Music in Vancouver and Edmonton, Stratford Festival HD, Calgary Public Library’s Sun Life Financial Arts and Culture pass program, Toronto International Film Festival’s Reel Magic program and the Neptune Theatre’s Sharing the Stage program in Halifax.

In addition to the instruments currently avail-

able at the two branches, the library is also holding a local donation drive to expand the musical instrument library.

Until Dec. 8 the library will collect donations of new and gently used musical instruments at the main and Nepean Centrepointe branches as well as at Long and McQuade, 1193 Hunt Club Rd. A full list of the instruments and accessories on the library’s wish list is available at biblioottawalibrary.ca/en/blogs/musical-instrument-donation-drive.

Notice of Commencement of Class Environmental Assessment and Invitation to a Community Information Centre

An opposing opinion On face coverings To the editor,

To the editor,

Re: Editorial “Nothing veiled in bill 62 racism threat,” Nov. 2.

Although I seldom agree with anything coming out of Quebec’s legislature, I agree, to a point, with their implementation of Bill 62.

Bill 62 goes too far with the ban covering public servants in their workplace, taking bus transportation and obtaining other public services.

If Canadian law requires face photos to obtain citizenship, passports, licences, etc., and includes requirement to remove eye glasses and not smile, why are certain individuals OK to have their entire faces covered?

Wearing a burka or niqab is not based on anything in the Quran and is not, although being repeated by various media, a religious requirement.

Yet we have Prime Minister Trudeau, the self proclaimed feminist, not criticizing the negative impact that males have over their wives and other female family members by insisting that they wear such face covering materials.

Not surprising that Trudeau is, as usual, hypercritical in being afraid in stating anything negative about Quebec. I wonder what his reaction would be if a similar bill was passed in Alberta or Saskatchewan.

Having an opposing opinion to your editorial regarding Bill 62 does not automatically make an individual a racist or a bigot.

Re: Editorial “Nothing veiled in bill 62 racism threat,” Nov. 2.

I read the editorial and had to smile about the comment about the face covering.

“There is absolutely no evidence that covering one’s face in any way is a precursor of violent behaviour.”

We watch on the news nearly every day, people with covered faces, robbing, rioting, and it is in no way because of religious beliefs they are covering their faces.

Our face is the way we are recognized, so obviously we are concerned when a person approaches with a covered face. This is not racism as you do not know who is under the covering, you just assume that they are up to no good.

The transmission line rebuild would require replacing the existing transmission structures and widening of the corridor in certain locations.

This project is being planned in accordance with the Class Environmental Assessment for Minor Transmission Facilities, under Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act. The Class EA is a streamlined process to ensure that minor transmission facility projects with a predictable range of effects are planned and carried out in an efficient and environmentally-acceptable manner.

The proposed project is also subject to federal approval under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. Contingent on the completion of the Class EA process and other approvals, construction of these new facilities could begin in 2020.

Licence plate scanners make city’s roads safer

T

he city’s police force is seeking a budget increase that’s drawing some questions, but there’s one piece of equipment that Ottawa cops that should be a slam dunk.

The police would like a second automated licence plate reader.

Considering that the first reader used by our police caught 200 suspended drivers in its first year of operation, it’s a purchase everyone should support.

The only people who might say otherwise are those caught driving when they shouldn’t be.

The automated readers are mounted on police vehicles and “see” licence plates that pass nearby. The reader can check the plate number in a database and alert officers if a suspended or wanted driver may be on the road.

It’s a privilege to drive, and police aren’t using the plate readers to track anyone’s movements, just taking a snapshot of a car at one

point in time. The process is not like a facial recognition scanner on a street, which could track who is where. That would never meet with Canadians’ support.

The plate scanners do nothing more than a police officer could do with his or her own eyes and a laptop – just much faster.

Keeping suspended drivers off the streets means we’re all safer. The next suspended driver caught could be a serial drunk driver – or any other driver who is motoring around town without liability insurance.

That, you will know, was reaction to the Kyle Turris trade. But it could have been reaction to the Jason Spezza trade, or the Senators letting Alfie go, or the Mike Fisher trade, or letting Chris Neil go.

Events like this happen every couple of years and they shake the affection of the fans.

Perhaps it reflects a gap in our lives, or perhaps it’s just that we develop an honest interest in the members of the team we cheer for.

Either way, it’s a wrench for many when a favourite leaves town.

Interestingly, the players themselves are less affected. When interviewed, they express sorrow at having to leave the team and the town but, they add, it’s a business. Their team-mates say the same thing: Hate

Federal government announces changes to EI benefits CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

Minister of Families, Children and Social development Jean-Yves Duclos announced changes to the Employment Insurance program at the Montfort Hospital on Nov. 9.

Beginning Dec. 3, the following changes will be made to EI benefits: · Caregivers who pro-

vide care to a critically ill or injured adult family member will have access to a new benefit of up to 15 weeks. · Immediate and extended family members of children who are critically ill will have access to a new benefit of up to 15 weeks. · Both medical doctors and nurse practitioners will now be able to sign medical certificates for the existing

and new family caregiving benefits. · Parents will be able to choose the option that best meets their family’s needs: standard parental benefits (taken over 12 months) or extended parental benefits (taken over 18 months) · Eligible pregnant workers will be able to receive EI maternity benefits earlier, up to 12 weeks before their due date.

The changes will also apply to self-employed workers who opt in to the EI program and who meet minimum income and other requirements to qualify for EI. The Canadian Labour Code has been amended so that employees in federally regulated sectors have job protection while they receive maternity, parental and caregiving benefits.

“Every Canadian’s situation is unique, with different family and work needs,” said Duclos

in a release. “By making EI caregiving, maternity and parental benefits and leaves more flexible, inclusive and easier to access, we are providing Canadians with more options to better balance their work and life responsibilities.”

Parents will now have two options to choose from when taking their parental benefits. The standard benefit will give parents 35 weeks of benefits over a period of up to 12 months at 55 per cent of average weekly earnings to a maximum of $543 per week.

Ottawa police have charged a 56-year-old Barrhaven man with child pornography offences after an investigation on Nov. 8.

According to police, a member of the internet child exploitation unit was conducting a proactive investigation on a web-based chat application that is commonly used to share files.

The investigator identified an IP address located in the Ottawa area that was making available “sadistic images” of children being sexually abused.

A search warrant was executed in the Old Barrhaven area.

The man is charged with one count of making available child pornography, three counts of accessing child pornography and one count of making written child pornography.

Police also said they confiscated electronics from the residence as part of the search warrant.

The man is due to appear in show cause court on Nov. 9.

Holiday Sparkle Sale!

Santa waves to parade watchers during the last Barrhaven Santa Claus Parade in November 2015. This year, the parade returns on Nov. 18 after being cancelled last year due to inclement weather.

Santa set to return to Barrhaven after last year’s cancellation CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

The Barrhaven Santa Claus Parade will return this year, and if the forecast is to be believed, there will be no cancellation.

Last year, due to high winds, the parade was cancelled for the first time in its history.

Hopefully that won’t be a problem this year but in case it is, parade organizers have created a new event that will ensure some people will still get to see Santa before he sets off around the world on Christmas Eve. The parade will take place on Nov. 18 at 5:30 p.m. and the route will follow Standherd Drive from Beatrice Drive to the Strandherd parkand-ride. In celebration of its 20th year, the parade will begin with a fireworks display at 5:20 p.m.

Another new addition this year is the Breakfast with Santa in Barrhaven at Mother Teresa High School. For $10 for a family of up to five, or $3 for a single ticket, residents can enjoy a pancake breakfast, a wish photo booth, arts and crafts and a meet and greet with Santa.

“It’s a great option for people who are worried about seeing Santa,” said Andrea Steenbakkers of the Barrhaven BIA. There will be two sittings for breakfast, one at 8 a.m. and one at 9:30 a.m. Those who are interested are encouraged to bring donations to the Barrhaven Food Cupboard with them. According to Steenbakkers, because the event is fully funded by sponsors, all proceeds from tickets sales will go to the Barrhaven Food Cupboard.

Those who wish to purchase tickets can go to the Breakfast with Santa in Barrhaven eventbrite page.

According to Steenbakkers, the parade is the single largest fundraising event for the food cupboard. Last year, because of the cancellation, sponsors elected to donate the money that would normally be used to run the parade directly to the food cupboard. This, according to Steenbakkers, allowed the food cupboard to raise the same amount of money they normally would during the course of the parade.

For more information on the parade, visit santaclausbarrhaven.com.

City to pour more money into road resurfacing

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Hope.

1-800-267-WISH www.childrenswish.ca

Mayor Jim Watson said he’s heard from residents that they’d like to see more money put into the city’s roads and winter maintenance.

Spending on roads will increase to $12.6 million in 2018 – bringing the annual budget to $112.4 million.

Snow removal will get a little more than a $2 million bump, bringing it to a total of $68.3 million.

The figure for snow removal is based on recommendations by KPMG, a consultant the city hired last year to look at snow removal targets.

Watson said snow removal is one of

the biggest challenges.

“You never know how much snow you’ll get,” he said, adding on lighter years, surplus funds in the budget get put into a “snow reserve.”

The city released the draft budget at the Nov. 8 council meeting.

In what has become status quo over the last five years, the property tax increase will remain at two per cent, but provincial uploading of costs for administering the Ontario Works program and childcare, as well as a staff restructuring at city hall implemented after city manager Steve Kanellakos first took over the helm, has given the city some wiggle room to invest in key priorities.

It’s also worth noting that the budget includes a two per cent increase to recreation fees, a 2.5 per cent increase to transit fares, a four per cent increase to water rates and five per cent increase to waste water and stormwater rates respectively.

The city’s total budget is $3.42 billion. Forty per cent of that is related to labour, said deputy treasurer Isabelle Jasmin.

The other top costs pressures include: policing, water and sewer and community and social services.

The rural areas are also going to see a windfall for investments in their roads and culverts, Watson said – with the total number hitting more than $44 million.

Because of the rain and heavy snowfalls last spring and winter, the city has been plagued with more than the usual number of potholes, this year, prompting a $400,000 increase to that budget.

Watson also said he’s asked staff to explore the possibility of a city-run and owned asphalt plant to ensure we are using the highest quality asphalt and getting a competitive price.

ON THE MOVE

Getting around seemed to be theme, as Watson announced there will be 20 new bus routes in the capital.

FAKE NUMBERS

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli spiced up the meeting by declaring the budget numbers to be “fake.”

In the past, Chiarelli has been vocal about the deficit - the debt load that it carries year over year. This year it stayed at $2.27 billion, the same as last year, but has steadily increased over the last decade.

Just comparing 2016, when the deficit was at $1.78 billion to the 2018 number, there’s a more than 27 per cent increase.

While Chiarelli wasn’t immediately available for comment, Watson spoke to allegations in the briefing following the budget’s release.

“The reality is I would encourage members of council to read the budget before they criticize it,” Watson said, adding Chiarelli missed the presentation of the budget

by Jasmin.

“There are no one-time fixes,” Watson said. “The numbers are all solid.”

City treasurer Marian Simulik also called the numbers solid. She said one of the things city manager Steve Kanellakos did was look at where the city was vulnerable in terms of the budget estimates.

One of things that stuck out for Simulik was the vacancy allowance – an amount the city budgets for positions that become va-

cant that don’t have to be filled.

“We still have two or three areas to work on,” Simulik said, adding there’s always going to be surprises – like lawsuits, and a change to the minimum wage.

“We simply cannot be all things to all people,” Watson said in his budget speech. “It’s also about setting priorities – and I believe that Budget 2018 balances those key priorities in a manner that will broadly secure our residents’ support…”

Central library build noticeably absent from library budget

A Year to Remember at the NCC Dr. Mark Kristmanson Chief Executive Officer

It’s certainly hard to believe that after so much effort, and so much anticipation, the celebrations of 2017 and the 150th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation are almost behind us.

When I look back, I see a year of real achievement on the part of the National Capital Commission – a year when so many projects and initiatives finally came to fruition.

I am particularly happy with the way we were able to work with so many individuals and organizations in the community, including the indigenous Canadians of the Capital Region, to make it such a year to remember. Never before have so many people been part of working toward our shared vision of a great 21st-century Capital.

The result of these partnerships will be a real, tangible legacy of 2017. The dramatic renewal of the National Arts Centre, the opening of Canada’s new National Holocaust Monument, the remarkable MosaïCanada display in Jacques Cartier Park, the Confederation Pavilions, and the hundreds of thousands of Canada 150 tulips that will now bloom every year in the Capital are just a few examples.

And, of course, we launched the new Plan for Canada’s Capital 2017-2067 – an exciting blueprint for the development of the Capital between now and Canada’s bicentennial that is the result of an unprecedented collaboration with literally hundreds of thousands of Canadians from coast to coast.

There is so much more to say about these projects, and more, and the legacy they will leave – and I invite you to learn more about them on the NCC’s website (ncc-ccn.gc.ca).

Meanwhile, at the NCC we are always looking to the future, and continuing our work to build a Capital that is meaningful and inspiring to every Canadian.

Numbers in city budget will translate to bigger deficit: Chiarelli

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

You can’t base your snow removal budget on the lowest snowfall numbers in a decade and continue to do that year after year, College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said.

Chiarelli became the focus of Mayor Jim Watson’s ire after declaring the budget to be “fake.”

Watson hit back in the briefing following the Nov. 8 release of draft budget, saying councillors should read the budget before criticizing it.

“Councillor Chiarelli was holding a press conference during Isabelle Jasmin’s (city’s deputy treasurer) presentation,” Watson said.

To that, Chiarelli said he listened to the mayor sum up the budget for nearly an hour.

“I didn’t realize his summary wasn’t accurate,” Chiarelli said.

The biggest discrepancy for Chiarelli is the assumption on snow clearing.

A little more than a $2-million injection into the annual budget for snow clearing, bringing the annual amount to $68.3 million will only spill over into a deficit at the end of 2018, Chiarelli said.

Last year, the city overspent by nearly $10 million, despite an infusion of more than $4 million into the budget over and above the previous year.

The city overspent $7.6 million in 2015 and $13.8 million in 2016.

The city has increased the budget

term care facilities remains unchanged over the amount that slated last year — despite the fact that the numbers suggest overspending in that area.

Chiarelli says not tweaking that budget is short sighted since we have to maintain a standard of care, and we are looking at improving practices based on recommendations from the provincial order.

“I’ve been on the board in long-term care homes,” Chiarelli said. “There’s not a lot of wiggle room when it comes to cutting costs, it’s either food or activities — staffing costs are fixed.”

City treasurer Marian Simulik said when city manager took the helm in 2016, they looked at longLONG-TERM CARE The city’s budget for its long- term care and adjusted some of the vulnerabilities that caused the city to overspend in that area.

One of those key areas was an allowance for a vacancy rate — that’s a certain percentage of positions that can remain unfilled at any given time, meaning the city pays less salary. That rate doesn’t apply to long-term care, because it needs to be staffed 24-7.

by $11 million over three years. “”It’s sleight of hand,” Chiarelli said of the numbers. “It’s Ottawa, we all know it’s going to snow.”

Watson said the budget has increased by $11 million over the last three years, but it’s tough to count on nature.

“You just don’t know how much snow you’re going to get,” he said.

Watson added the current snow removal budget is the amount recommended by consultants KPMG who wrote a series of recommendations in July 2016 related to cost savings in snow removal.

Neuropathic Pain Treatment Study Queen’s University researchers are conducting a pain treatment study in people with nerve injury or nerve disease, not related to back or neck problems.

Requires 4 visits to Kingston over 18 weeks & no serious heart or kidney disease.

Study treatments provided free of charge.

For more information please contact: Sylvia Robb, RN, Dept. of Anesthesiology Kingston General Hospital 613-549-6666 x 3964

One priority will be tackling the challenge of deferred maintenance of the NCC’s many assets.

These assets are substantial, with a value in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Looking after them all on an annual capital appropriation of just under $23 million requires sometimes-difficult choices, but I think our staff does a remarkable job maintaining it to a very high standard.

Our other priorities in the year to come include advancing transformational initiatives such as the development of LeBreton Flats; the creation of new riverfront parks on both sides of the Ottawa River; the renewal of Nepean Point; the renewal of the Gatineau Park Master Plan and the NCC’s environmental strategy; and the implementation of the Plan for Canada’s Capital.

And we will continue to partner with Canadians in building a Capital that is a source of pride for Canadians, now and for generations to come.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

The problem with a budget that doesn’t provide realistic numbers for growth and infrastructure spending is that we create a debt problem for the future. Also putting off spending for things like roads, means that the cost will be much higher in a few years time.

“It’s a shell game,” Chiarelli said of the budget. “We need to close the gap.”

Chiarelli wasn’t the only one with concerns.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun.

Diane Deans asked the city’s auditor general to take a look at how staff arrive at certain numbers — like light rail ridership numbers and budget estimates.

Ken Hughes, the AG, told the audit committee on Nov. 9 that a look at risk management by staff was on his 2018 work plan.

Thank you!

Together, we’re strong in the fight against cancer.

Top doc to leave city payroll

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Dr. Isra Levy, the city’s chief Medical Officer of Health, will be leaving his post in December.

He has informed the board he will be joining Canadian Blood Services, as vice-president of medical affairs and innovation, in the new year.

Levy said he plans to use up some vacation time. His last day as the city’s No. 1 doctor will be Dec. 15.

A public statement sent out by Ottawa Public health on Nov. 6 wishes Levy well.

“We would like to congratulate Dr. Levy on his prestigious appointment as vice-president medical affairs and innovation at the Canadian Blood Services, a world-recognized organiza-

tion,” the statement reads.

“In the coming days and weeks, the Board of Health will be planning for the appointment of a new Medical Officer of Health and an interim plan will be will be developed until a new MOH is appointed.”

BENEFITS

In a letter to the board, Levy said all organizations benefit from leadership renewal.

“I know the board, the senior leadership and the committed team at OPH will take the organization forward with steady hands and with high aspirations,” he writes. “I will follow the organization’s future successes with interest and with pride.

I wish you all the very best.”

Onyx (ID# A205993)

Levy said he’s looking forward to his new role and continuing to serve the community in a new capacity.

He will continue to function as MOH until his last day — which includes seeking approvals for the 2018 OPH budget, which was presented to the board for the first time on Oct. 30.

“Every day I have felt immense pride about the positive impact that the dedicated and committed team of professionals at OPH, working with our board and with our municipal partners have had on the lives of people in this city,” Levy said.

He added he has a sense of fulfilment when thinking about the work that helped to make Ottawa a vibrant city where people are healthy, safe and engaged.

Local minister wants to help people fight discouragement

BY CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

Dr. Ralph Dartey wants to help people in the fight against discouragement, starting with the release of his book – Fighting Discouragment – on Nov. 17 on Parliament Hill.

Dartey’s theory is that disappointment from failure, be it failure to understand a problem in mathematics or failure to remain happy in marriage, can lead to discouragement. He believes that once someone is discouraged, they give up trying whatever it is they are having difficulty with, which will eventually lead to the death of the ambition to continue.

Dartey believes that through faith, people can find the strength to fight against discouragement and to keep moving forward with their ambition.

“If we could use the word of God to stop this menace, we would be able to live in a lot more happy environment,” he said.

Dartey has been a minister for over three decades and for the last

Dr. Ralph Dartey is set to launch his book ‘Fighting Discouragement’ at a special evetn on Parliament hill on Nov. 17. Dartey looks to help people fight off discouragement through the word of God. six years has been the head of the Transforming Life Centre in Nepean. Dartey’s two sons, Kofi and Ralph Jr., are pastors and work in schools around the city.

Dartey says the biggest point of his book is to help people know and understand what discouragement is, how to break out of it and how to avoid it in the future.

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may be tempted to tie up loose ends this week, but there is a lot to finish so expect things to take longer than you hoped. Focus only on one project at a time.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you are anxious to go on an adventure, but you simply can’t find time in your schedule. You may just have to make it happen by turning off your devices and heading out.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Conversations with others should be kept light and easy this week to avoid any drama, Sagittarius. Delving deeper into others’ lives is the furthest thing from your mind.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your words and actions may not be matching up right now. This may be confusing to others. It may be better to just lead by example.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even if you are sure that your perspective will win over the crowd, you have to accept there will be some who don’t agree with you. Be gracious and don’t step on any toes.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, are your achievements isolating you from others? You may have to let someone else get some of the glory this week, if only to show your vulnerable and accommodating side.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, things have been moving along quite easily for you and you are enjoying the respite. Take all the deep breaths you can during this period of recovery.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

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!
