Priceless

Almost all candidates Q&A success WEEKENDER STAFF Nearly 50 people crammed into St. James United Church, in Osgoode, last Wednesday evening to hear what their federal candidates had to say about their policies and platform. Or at least the people who attended thought they would hear from all of their candidates: The buzz before the meeting — and mentioned multiple times throughout — was Liberal candidate Ed Mahfouz’s failure to show up for the scheduled event and his reported failures to attend similar events scheduled by Rogers and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Moderator Jay Williams said before the evening began that Mahfouz had “declined our invitation to be here tonight.” However, a call to Mahfouz’s office and a conversation with his communications chair, Alan Toulin, quickly explained Mahfouz’s absences from all three events. For the pre-taping of a debate for Rogers television and the debate in Osgoode, Mahfouz had religious obligations as the first day of October happened to be Eid ul-Fitr — commonly shortened to simply Eid. This is perhaps the most holy day for Muslims as it marks the end of Ramadan. Toulin compared it to Christmas day for Christians in terms of religious importance. “It’s a religious observation day for spending time with family and friends,” he explained. Since the Islamic calendar is based on lunar cycles,

rather than set dates like the Gregorian calendar we’re all so familiar with, the dates of their major days can shift as much as 12 days. It all depends on when the new crescent moon is sighted, signaling the beginning of the month of Shawwal (equivalent to October). Last year, for example, Eid fell on Oct. 13. Toulin’s explanation for Mahfouz’s absence from the CBC taping was that it was a “two hour commitment … and we were told it wouldn’t be aired on television unless it was judged newsworthy,” he said. “We just thought given Ed’s desire to campaign and canvass as much as possible that it would be better for him (to spend the time going door-to-door).” New moderator Williams replaced Joe Banks as moderator of the evening after Conservative incumbent Pierre Poilievre’s office called for Banks' removal, citing his wife’s former employment with Liberal David Pratt. The former Grit Defence Minister is contesting a neighbouring riding against incumbent Conservative John Baird. The debate The evening followed a format that’s becoming increasingly popular — a question-and-answer ssession that differs from the more traditional talking points and rebuttals of an actual debate. Candidates’ names were drawn from a hat prior to every question to determine their order of response to either a written question or one from the floor. Green Party candidate Lori Gadzala and Brown

ARE WE ALL PAYING ATTENTION? The candidates, NDP Phil Brown, Conservative Pierre Poilievre and Green Lori Gadzala, listen and take notes while a member of the audience asks a question. Liberal candidate Ed Mahfouz missed the session to mark one of the holiest days in his religion. didn’t hesitate to take shots at Poilievre and the Conservative government, but at the same time they avoided making it personal; tending to focus more on policy. The key topics of the evening focused on taxes, increasing voter turnout, health and safety, infrastructure, proportional representation and the economy. Opening remarks Brown started the evening off by saying that “we’ve

been witnessing the decline of the family farm” and called Conservative and Liberal plans “ineffective.” He also accused the Conservatives of “leaving the cupboard bare”, saying the NDP would begin new food safety and agricultural initiatives by banning termination seeds and creating more ecofriendly farming practices, as well as creating a safewater fund. Poilievre said the NepeanCarleton riding is a rapidly

growing community that needs energetic, youthful leadership to take it into the future. He also touched on his accomplishments while in office; noting funding for the forthcoming Strandherd bridge project, $1 a year lease for the QueenswayCarleton Hospital and the fact that parents can claim up to $500 in sporting tax credits from their children’s sporting activities. He also touched on the

economic issues that have been all over front pages for weeks, saying “we are faced with uncertain economic times … and now is not the time to take risks.” Gadzala thinks NepeanCarleton “deserves a better share of our pie” and pointed out that she has lived in the riding — in Manotick — for 13 years.

<<< All candidates From Page 1 Noting that she had been told the riding was a safe bet to be a Conservative stronghold, Gadzala said the Greens are “fiscally conservative.” She was visibly annoyed several times through the evening when Poilievre would lump the Greens in with the NDP as a left-leaning political party. The Economy Poilievre turned a question about exempting schools from the GST into an attack on the carbon taxes proposed by the Liberal and Green parties, saying "Fuel costs are too high already. And I think GST exemption for our schools is good – and I will champion it.” “Only our party is proposing to take taxes down, down and down,” he said. “We have balanced the books in every single year (in office).” The Greens are toying with dropping the GST altogether on items such as children’s clothing, books and school supplies, said Gadzala. Brown said he’d fight for schools paying less in taxes or anything similar that allows parents to afford school supplies. Another question from the floor asked the candidates if there was any way for the average citizen to direct where their tax dollars go, such as local infrastructure projects. Gadzala said the longterm goal of the Green shift is akin to that — by moving taxes from where they are now and placing them on things like waste, carbon emissions, etc., the economy would actually benefit. The concern raised about carbon taxes is a simple one: if the end goal is to eliminate, or at least drastically reduce, our carbon emissions, where will the government get fu-

ture tax dollars? Poilievre said residents can already do so by donating to a charitable organization and claiming the donation on the following year’s tax return. Brown said he thinks it’s “superficially” a good idea to allow Canadian residents to direct the government as to where their tax dollars go, then segued to speak about proportional representation saying: “We don’t have adequate weight for our votes.” Voter Turnout “We rank one of the lowest in the world in voter turnout,” said Gadzala in response to a question posed to the candidates about increasing the number of voters in the election. She repeated that she'd like to see some form of proportional representation put in place to allow voters to feel as if their vote is going somewhere. Brown agreed: “We need to engage citizens and make them feel that their vote counts. We also need to reform the way government operates.” He targeted Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government, saying it was “one of the most secretive” governments we’ve had. Poilievre pointed out that the riding with the youngest MP is also the riding with the highest voter turnout in the last election. Food safety/agriculture Gadzala said the Greens want to “foster our local growers. Too much of our agricultural focus is on trade.” She went on the say the Greens would improve regional produce and distribution. Brown attacked the Conservatives saying that funding for food safety had decreased under the current reign, saying the NDP wants “to get (safety inspectors) back on the floor.” He also spoke about a

DID YOU KNOW hypnosis is also used for smoking cessation, stress, conﬁdence, motivation and much more

proper warning system for regular citizens; citing the recent listeriosis outbreak as example that there is no such system in place now. Poilievre offered his condolences to family and friends of people who died as a cause of the listeriosis in Maple Leaf food products. He said the government has earmarked $113 million in new money specifically for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, part of which goes to hiring 200 new inspectors. Concluding statements Brown went first, noting: "The mood of this evening is really good.” He then asked people to examine the character and integrity of the candidates before voting.

“Which person in front of you can you trust?” he asked the crowd. Poilievre said, “There is no greater honour than standing on the floor of the

House of Commons,” and he promised to continue working his “heart out for you.” Gadzala said the Greens are a wise choice because “we care about the viability

… of Canada.” She also said the 21st century is going to be driven by green technologies and the Green party will "lead the way."

AVOIDANCE IN 'Q & A' T

here was a time when we were all taught: "Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer." The modern variation is "Garbage in, garbage out." It sounds nicer. Undaunted, we put both theories to the test this week as we near the finish line for the 2008 federal election, asking each political candidate to answer the same five questions. We thought our questions were pretty good. We actually thought about them, discussed others, before we winnowed the field to the ones you'll read inside this paper. We tried hard to make the questions simple, direct, relevant to the candidates and constituents in this riding. You will be happy to read, or should be, that we are probably the only news medium in Canada who raised the spectre that our beloved Royal Canadian Mounted Police have been victimized by political intrusion that has shunted aside the more honest concept of civilian oversight. We worded the question far more subtly than that and you may be astounded by some of the answers. Alas, not all editorial space is created equal. But please believe that if you think you or your candidate has been squished into a tighter space than another, we did everything we could to include each candidate's full response. All were edited for space, some more than others, but only when we felt that their response had little or nothing to do with the question. Which brings us to the headline of this editorial. The 'Q & A' acronym has long been a short form for the standard Question and Answer type of reporting. Times change. Increasingly, politicians seem more concerned with "staying on message" by giving scripted rather than personal answers, resulting in Questions and Avoidance. Read them all and decide for yourself. Welcome to the 21st Century, folks.

wise person once opined that when it came to influencing public opinion there are "lies, damn lies and statistics." If I had a little more time — or just a better memory — I could likely tell you who said it when and why. Alas, I have neither. Suffice it to say that his point (and, yes, I'm sure it was a guy) was that anyone could take any data and spin the numbers to make any point they wish. Unlike the camera, which someone else I can't remember said "never lies," the numbers always lie. Or at least they can. I've been reading a lot about policing issues in Canada lately. The research has included reading what the media has to write about the

police. It's not always flattering in a love-hate relationship that has endured down through the ages. But there are some recurring themes. At or near the top of the list is the me-

dia and political delight in reporting, year after year, that crime rates are falling across Canada. It's less clear that violent crime is falling — in fact there is evidence to sug-

gest that category is actually on the rise. It depends how you spin the numbers. And there's the rub. The data is provided by an arm of Statistics Canada, which has a unique focus on policing issues. You would think that the numbers compiled by such a respected federal agency would be beyond dispute. They probably are. It should be noted that the data provided by Stats Can is taken from the raw numbers they are given by the police. And the police should know how busy they are. Right? Certainly the men and women on the front lines have an acute awareness of calls that occupy their days and nights, particularly the

But if declining crime stats are cause for fewer police, does declining voter turnout suggest we have too many politicians? Think about it. If the numbers generated by Elections Canada mirror the crime data from Stats Can — both essentially insisting that crime/voter rates are plummeting — then can we not expect the same political and media response to both? In short, fewer is better. It all can come down to the headlines. Their impact is determined by wording. And so, as we prepare to cast our vote next week, I suggest to you that if turnout sucks again this time, it behooves the politicians and media to declare there are too many of them relative to the numbers who care.

municipal street cops, and the federal and provincial officers contracted to provide municipal policing, running call-to-call-to-call with precious little respite. Then they do paperwork. But if the crime rate is falling, why are they so busy? In fact, are there fewer crimes or fewer people reporting them? If the latter, the data is skewed. No one asks the question. Instead, the politicians and media challenge the need for more police, citing the dropping crime rates. But what if the headlines read 'Fewer Canadians bother to report crimes than ever before'? Then it's not the number of the police but the depth of public despair. Not a happy thought.

False break and enter alarm under investigation CONST. PETER JEON OTTAWA POLICE SERVICES Patrol officers in the Rideau-Goulbourn area responded to 93 general calls for service from the public for the reporting period of Sept. 26 to Oct. 2. The following is a partial breakdown of incidents by community: Manotick: one Dangerous Condition, three accidents, one fraud, one found, one com B&E Richmond: one residential B&E, one accident, one suspicious, one theft North Gower: one theft, one mischief Stittsville: two accidents Munster: one mischief In addition to the calls for service, officers are also proactively enforcing the Highway Traffic laws, responding to false 9-1-1 and

alarm calls, and assisting the Ottawa Fire, paramedics and bylaw services. Strange things happen while going to sleep It was an early Sunday morning on Sept. 28 when police were dispatched to MacEwen’s gas station on Fallowfield Rd., for a possible impaired driver. Information sent over the airwaves to police computers stated that a female driver had just hit a curb several times and was engaging in a conversation with a complainant about how she stole the vehicle from her sleeping boyfriend. As police cruisers converged on the gas station, further dispatches indicated

that the suspect vehicle was last seen traveling eastbound on Fallowfield Rd. from Moodie Dr. Now, if you are familiar with night shifts, you can probable relate to how the officers must have felt when the call came in a 5:50 a.m. After a long and engaging night, the thoughts of a nice warm comfortable bed never sounded so sweet, especially with only an hour and a half to go. But, as for all officers, when duty calls, they pick themselves up by their bootstraps and off they go. As for one officer who was traveling westbound on Fallowfield Rd, just West of Greenbank Rd., he observed the suspect vehicle traveling in an eastbound direction.

MORTGAGE ADVICE YOU CAN TRUST

When the vehicle passed by, the officer conducted a U-turn and quickly closed in on the vehicle to verify its licence plate number. Satisfied that the suspect vehicle had been found, the officer flips on his roof lights to initiate a traffic stop. After about a one-kilometer site seeing tour, the driver suddenly slammed on her brakes, causing the rear end of the vehicle to fish tail, and the vehicle quickly came to a stop. By now, your senses should be fully activated as small amounts of adrenalin course through your body. With your sharpened senses, you feel a slight foreboding in the pit of your stomach - if this really turns out to be what you are suspecting, then it will be a very long morning. Even more so, since you still have one more night shift to go. Taking a deep breath, you jump out of the car and make your approach. As the officer approached the female driver, she immediately stated that she did not know whom the vehicle belongs too and that she was lost. After shutting off the engine and exiting the vehicle, the female verbally identified herself to the officer; in a very rapid and disjointed manner, as a 38-

year-old woman from Peterborough. She went on to say that she had not consumed any alcohol, today. Based on what you have read so far, do you still suspect alcohol consumption and do you feel that she might not be telling you the whole truth? Because of her suspicious driving actions and personal behavior, the officer suspected that she had consumed alcohol. As a result, the driver was given a Roadside Demand and asked for a breath sample. On her first attempt, the driver provided a suitable breath sample and registered zero alcohol content in her blood. Okay, you can now breathe a sigh of relief. It is only 6:10 a.m. and there is still time to solve this mystery and get back to the barn in time for shift change. Pressing the driver for more information, the driver states that while she was hanging out at a downtown bar last night, she met up with some young men and decided to accompany them to their “farm,” as she referred to it. After her new male friends passed out around 5 a.m., she cleaned up their mess and decided to run out for a coffee using one of their vehicles. Coming full circle, this story ends with the driver being charged under the Highway Traffic Act for driving with no licence, after it was learned that the driver was unlicenced, which explains her poor driving skills, and the vehicle owner’s father

stating that his son has a habit of letting people take his vehicle at any time. At 07:22 a.m., the officer hits the enter key to save his report and heads back to the barn for a well-deserved rest. Looks can deceive What do you get when 15 patrol officers and a tactical team descends into a quiet residential neighborhood? You definitely get a sense that something serious has happened. Shortly after 12 p.m., on Sept. 29, a 9-1-1 came in from a Richmond home advising that someone had broken into the house with guns. After police arrived and cordoned off the area, the tactical team moved in and cleared the house with no suspects found. A search of the house failed to turn up any evidence of a B&E or an attempted B&E. Based on interviews with the caller and a witness, information came to light that an armed B&E incident did not occur and that an act of deception may be at play. Police continue to investigate this incident, so stay tuned. Traffic accidents Sept. 29 Fallowfield Rd. and Conley Rd., Stittsville: An eastbound motorist on Fallowfield Rd., observed what appeared to be a stopped vehicle. As she began to overtake the vehicle in the opposing lane, it began to turn left into a driveway.

War of 1812 veterans shaped Goulbourn Margaret Sambol Irish immigrants who came to Canada to fight for the British in the War of 1812 formed the backbone of what is known today as Goulbourn. The soldiers of the 100th Regiment of Foot were given land grants and about 220 men and their families took up the offer of land in the former township. Another 15 civilian Irish families also joined the settlement. A private was given 100 acres, a sergeant received 200 acres and a captain was awarded 400 acres for their service in the war, including their participation in the Battle of Chippawa and the capture of Fort Niagara. This fascinating settlement story is told through artifacts and exhibits at the Goulbourn Museum. “It’s unique in the Ottawa story,” says curator Donna Keays-Hockey. Richmond was settled in 1818, making it one of the earliest military settlements in the area, after Perth in 1816. Lumber baron Philemon Wright used his men to assist the soldiers to “blaze the trail” into Richmond. These settlements were considered a second line of defence should hostilities break out with the Americans again. “These men would have been members of the local militia,” Keays-Hockey explains. While there were pioneering families in the area earlier, the military were the first to settle in a coordinated fashion as a deliberate community. Col. George Burke was the superintendent of the Richmond Military Settlement. Colonel was his

my provincial counterpart in pressuring the Liberal government in Toronto to match it. Improvements to the infamous Limebank Road were delayed for a half-decade due to complications between the Airport Authority, the Federal Transportation Department, the National Capital Commission (all of whom owned parts of the land) and the City of Ottawa (which needed to buy it). After these delays, the Riverside South Commu-

nity Association asked me to get involved and solve the problem. I did. I acted as a virtual real-estate agent in sorting out the complicated transaction. Having freed up the land for the first phase of Limebank Road improvements, I will press for a successful sale of the remaining acres needed to complete subsequent phases. Q. Aside from party affiliation, what personal or professional trait do you most value, how does it set you apart from the other candidates and how will it benefit your constituents? A. I am an energetic and outspoken Member of Parliament who gets results and takes strong stands on difficult issues. During this campaign, I am making practical and affordable commitments on which I can deliver.

Q. If elected, what will you do to create more licensed child care spaces in rural areas? A. True to our commitment in the 2006 federal election campaign, the Conservative Party gave child care choices to Canadian parents through the Universal Child Care Benefit, a direct payment of $100 per month for each child under six. A re-elected Conservative Government will: Fully index the $100 per month Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) to inflation, ensuring that the value of the benefit does not erode over time, and returning about $50 million per year to parents, on top of the $2.4 billion that is already being returned to parents through the current UCCB. Make the $100 per month per child benefit tax free for sole-support single-income parents, providing nearly $50 million per year in new support for lone-parent families. Enhancing the Universal Child Care Benefit is another component of the Conservatives’ realistic plan to manage the economy. The plan includes keeping the budget balanced, lowering taxes, keeping inflation low and investments to ensure we continue to create jobs. Giving a break to parents supports the second principle of the plan: lower taxes. Q. How do you plan to balance municipal/rural/agricultural priorities and infrastructure needs? A. The Liberal carbon tax would be devastating to our municipal/ rural/ agricultural and infrastructure needs. The Liberals plan to tax carbon, which really is a tax on everything. It is also a tax on our farmers and the tools they use to run their farms. Q. As the RCMP tries to re-invent itself as Canada’s national police force, what priorities would you assign them, to whom should they report and why? A re-elected Conservative government will amend the Criminal Code to ensure that serious or violent criminals are not eligible for house arrest. Many serious crimes not covered under the current provisions will be added to the list of crimes ineligible for house arrest. Criminals who commit these crimes should be punished appropriately and serve time in prison. By restricting these crimes from house arrest eligibility, Canadians will have a justice system that imposes sentences that fit the severity of the offence.

Parliamentarians. Iâ€™m disgusted by the mud-slinging. Partisan politics has become extremely mean-spirited. Q. If elected, what will you do to create more licensed child-care spaces in rural areas? A. Parents should be as close to their children as possible in the early years, even if parents have to work. One Green initiatives is to provide tax incentives to workplaces who create licensed childcare spaces. I would help create child-care spaces by advocating a direct tax credit to employers (or groups of employers in small businesses) of $1,500 tax credit/child per year. I would also support the 2005 agreement reached between the federal government, provinces and territories to

achieve a universal childcare programme in Canada. Q. How do you plan to balance municipal/rural/agricultural priorities and infrastructure needs? A. The Green Party is the only party that advocates transferring 1% of the GST, on an approximate per-captia basis, to fund rural roads, sewage treatment, and transit. I also want to champion our local food producers. Green programs focus on saving the family farm and improving access to local markets. Q. As the RCMP tries to re-invent itself as Canadaâ€™s national police force, what priorities would you assign them, to whom should they report and why? A. One critical role the RCMP is Integrated Border Enforcement Teams. We want to fund these teams to gather intelligence, search containers, and arrest gun smugglers. We also need to fund the RCMP to dedicate more resources to computer-crimes, online sexual exploitation, child pornography and Internet luring. The RCMP must catch these people before harm comes to children.

254918

Q. What do you personally view as the top three issues of this election? A. Infrastructure deficit - Ottawa has an infrastructure deficit estimated at $1.1 billion. We are the secondworst water polluter in the province, and communities like Manotick receive no federal funding for "green" sewage initiatives. Lack of transit funding Ottawa is the only major city without light rail. Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto have received over $600 million in new federal funding announcements in the last several months. Lack of health care professionals - We have 70,000 people without a family doctor in Eastern Ontario, and our acute-care system is backed up because chrnoic care for seniors is not available. Q. Aside from party affiliation, what personal or professional trait do you most value, how does it set you apart from the other candidates and how will it benefit your constituents? A.

Pressure’s perfect for Vermette

By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com The stage, in Antoine Vermette’s mind, couldn’t be more perfectly set. Armed with a new two-year contract, the Ottawa Senators forward doesn’t choose to see or feel the pressure that some would suggest might go along with it. Rather, Vermette takes a more positive approach and welcomes the chance to become the hockey player he has always believed he can be. “That’s the way I want it,” the 26-year-old from St-Agapit, Que., said about the new opportunity he believes has been presented to him in the seasons to come. “You always want to push yourself and make yourself the best player possible. “I’m looking forward to this year. I’ve been working hard and I’m sure all the guys (on the team) have been doing the same thing. Personally, I look forward (to the new season) and it should be a good one.” While Vermette has combined with Chris Kelly to form a standout

penalty-killing duo in previous seasons, he believes more responsibility is on the way in the season to come. But it is something that he readily embraces. “That’s what you want as a hockey player,” he said. “You want to get yourself in a better situation and always push your limit. I think that’s going to come with (the new contract) and I’m very excited about it.” Vermette hit career highs in goals (24), assists (29) and points (53) in 2007-08, his fourth full season with the Senators. He has always yearned for a chance to produce more offensively and, to hear Sens general manager Bryan Murray tell it, Vermette will likely get that opportunity in the very near future. “We (Senators management) see a certain player at the moment,” said Murray after completing the deal that retained Vermette’s services. “We have to realize he projects a little higher than that, which I’m very happy to hear. I believe that within three years, you’ll see a better offensive player than he is (right now).” All of that sounds good to Vermette, who has prepared himself to make it happen.

the organization. “The city itself … I feel very comfortable here. It really feels like home, literally, like back home (in Quebec). It’s the same feeling. I’m used to the area and the fans. I get that connection with this city and this team, and it’s good.” And now, in such a comfortable environment, Vermette has two more seasons to become the best player he can be. It was also another major factor, he said, in his decision to re-sign with the Senators in the offseason. “You want to be put in a situation where you can optimize your potential,” said Vermette. “You’ve got to think about that and that’s one (important) thing, too. That was a big (part of my) decision.”

“Deﬁnitely, a bigger role and probably a better contribution offensively (is possible), and being put in different situations,” he said. “I’m ready for that and I trained hard this summer for that.” Perhaps the best part for Vermette: He gets to spend at least two more seasons playing in a city that he loves and with the only National Hockey League team he has ever known. Vermette was a secondround choice by the Senators in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft from the Victoriaville Tigres of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. “I just feel like (I’m at ) home here,” Vermette said in explaining why he enjoys playing in Ottawa for the Senators. “I was drafted here and I like my teammates, the team and

Captain Shane Doan brings needed veteran leadership up front, while Peter Mueller – a 22-goal scorer as a rookie – and Kyle Turris represent the future. Former Senators enforcer Brian McGrattan adds toughness. Ed Jovanovski and Derek Morris are the key guys on defence for head coach Wayne Gretzky. The bulk of the goaltending chores will again fall on the steady shoulders of Ilya Bryzgalov.

Despite the goaltending heroics, the Jets lost that game. This past weekend they played games against the Gatineau Mustangs and Ottawa Junior Canadians, coming away with a victory and a loss. N.

Jets win first game, split weekend with Mustangs, Canadians The Jets had a 4-1 lead after 40 minutes of play, but three goals in 11 minutes brought the Canadians back into the game. Two goals in the final three minutes of play sealed their fate.

The Jets had a two-goal performance from defenseman Brett Holmes and goals from Josh Shanbaum and Mikael Morin (who now has six on the season). Francis Bourgois took the loss with 48 saves.

Another bright spot from the weekend action was the Jetsâ€™ penalty killing. The team went 10-for-10 through the two games, while going

The Metcalfe Jets won their first game of the stillyoung season last Friday night as they played the Gatineau Mustangs. Thanks to two-goal performances from centre Mikael Morin and right wing Josh Shanbaum and a strong special teams effort, the Jets downed the Mustangs 7-5. C Kory Churchill made up for his triad of penalties in the teamâ€™s game against the Stittsville Royals the week before by racking up three assists through the evening. Rounding out the scoring for the team were Brett Varrin, Eric Laplante and Nicholas Straccini. Laplante and Straccini both put in an assist as well. â€œThe guys were clicking,â€? said head coach Larry Bellinger. â€œOur forechecking was 100 per cent. Our penalty killing was extremely well played and our powerplay was working a little better this game as well. We dominated in all three zones of the ice.â€? Metcalfe went 2-for-9 with the man advantage and kept Gatineau to 0-for-3 with the PP. The Jets managed to get 65 shots on net, while goalie Alex Huard made 34 saves to earn the win. The following evening, the Jets couldnâ€™t quite keep up with the Ottawa Junior Canadians, falling 6-4 after five third period goals from the Canadians. â€œWe had two very strong periods against them and ran out of legs in the third,â€? said Bellinger.

Thanks to a league-leading defensive unit and a balanced scoring attack, the U-17 Boys remained in the hunt for the OYSL championship well into September, finishing the season 10 – 5 – 3, the best OYSL record in OSU history. “I am extremely proud of these boys,” said head coach Russell Shaw. “As a newly promoted team, they easily could have been intimidated. Instead, they pushed the top clubs right to the end of the season, finishing with ten wins at Ontario’s highest level of play. It is all the more remarkable when you consider that, as an Ottawabased team, they had to travel the length of the province several times, amassing over 6,000 kilometers getting to and from games as far away as Windsor. This was more than a collection of talented soccer players; it was a team with real determination and heart, which is all any coach can ask for.” Thanks to outstanding play by keeper Jonathan Viscosi and a very talented group of defenders anchored by Kevin Moeun, the team

Ottawa’s scoring punch was provided by Brandon Stoneham, Jacob Law, Robbie Murphy and Rodrigo Mendoza, all of whom found the back of the net numerous times during the season. As the team’s high quality of play became apparent over the season, they attracted growing interest from Ontario university coaches, including head coaches from the University of Windsor, the University of Western

Ontario, the University of Guelph and the University of Toronto. The U-17 team also made a great run for the Ontario Cup during the summer, beating two OYSL teams (Windsor and Brampton East) in away matches before succumbing in the semi-finals by a 1–0 score. To cap things off, the U17 Boys team has recently been invited for a return visit to the top-rated Disney Soccer Showcase Presented by Chelsea Football Club, which pits the very top teams from across the United

States against one another. The Disney Showcase will take place December 27 – 30 in Orlando, Florida and is expected to attract more than 800 US college and university head coaches. When the team played in the Showcase last year, schools like Amherst, Cornell, Davidson, Notre Dame, Georgetown, the United States Military Academy (West Point), Maine, Purdue and Villanova scouted the boys and liked what they saw, leading to several players receiving expressions of interest from US coaches.

formulating plans that work. Above all, I believe in speaking truth to power and telling it like it is. Q. If elected what will you do to create more licensed child care spaces in rural areas? A. The NDP believes in universal quality child care. In rural areas this can be either in a centre or homebased. The NDP intends to work with provinces to create 150,000 new regulated child-care spaces in our first year and up to 220,000 annually after that. The NDP would re-invest $1.45 billion from Stephen Harper’s corporate tax giveaway to create a pan-Canadian child-care and early-learning program to make high quality, accessible programs available to Canadian families. Like the Canada Health Act, the Early Learning and Child Care Act will establish a program of quality childcare serving urban and rural communities across Canada. Q. How do you plan to balance municipal/rural/agricultural priorities and infrastructure needs? A. The NDP intends to invest the equivalent of one cent of the GST in increased funding of the important

priorities of our cities and communities by 2011. This will address the growing infrastructure deficit, and help cities and citizens avoid massive property tax increases. This increased infrastructure commitment, phased in over 5 years, will include increased investment and jobs in: • Public transit • Building retrofits and environmentally friendly renovations • Roads • Public libraries • Community centres • Sewer and water treatment facilities. Allocations are up to the municipalities. Q. As the RCMP tries to re-invent itself as Canada’s national police force, what priorities would you assign them, to whom should they report and why? A. There must be clear accountability and civilian oversight for the RCMP. The NDP would initiate a stringent review process to help re-establish the RCMP’s public credibility and re-establish its role in providing leadership in policing across Canada, and establish a House of Commons committee to exercise oversight over all intelligence agencies, including CSIS and the RCMP. On a related matter, the RCMP should be required to develop strict protocols for Taser use that would see Tasers being employed only as an alternative to use of firearms, where lethal force would otherwise be required. Tasers were introduced on that rationale, claiming they would save lives, yet firearms are still being employed where Tasers could have been used as a less deadly alternative ... too often as quicker and easier than more suitable traditional crisis negotiation.

Q. What do you personally view as the top three issues of this election? A. In Nepean-Carleton, two top issues are the urgent need for more child-care spaces and for more health-care practitioners. A third issue is the Conservative government itself, which has set new lows for transparency, accountability and trustworthiness. Regarding health-care practitioners, the NDP proposes a 50% increase in the number of doctors being trained (1,200 additional a year) and a 50% increase in the number of nurses being trained (6,000 additional), as well as forgiving student loans for graduating health-care professionals who commit the first 10 years of their practice to family medicine and working with the provinces and territories. Q. Aside from party affiliation, what personal or professional trait do you most value, how does it set you apart from the other candidates and how will it benefit your constituents? A. I have lived and worked in Nepean-Carleton for 22 years and understand the needs of the community. I don’t consider myself a professional politician, but rather an ordinary businessman doing his best to improve my community and country. As a planner and development project manager, I have nearly 30 years experience building and leading teams and bringing people together to solve problems. I think outside the box and I am particularly good at casting ahead to identify issues and opportunities and then

ally view as the top three issues of this election? A. I have campaigned primarily on three issues — infrastructure, health care and the environment. Infrastructure is clearly a local priority for the people of Nepean-Carleton, though it also touches on the environment. We need to see a comprehensive transportation plan that includes high-speed, light rail, improved public transit (OC Transpo), improved roads and bridges. A bridge across the river at Strandherd is clearly a priority. As MP, I will work to bring the three levels of government and the public together to facilitate the infrastructure solutions we need. Q. Aside from party affiliation, what personal or professional trait do you most value, how does it set you apart from the other candidates and will it benefit your constituents. A. I was a teacher for 25 years in this riding. This is a position of trust that requires maturity, judgment and the ability to work, not only with young people, but with their parents and with the larger community in preparing

young people to take their place in society. You have to understand people, their hopes and aspirations, and you have to understand the community and its concerns. I know this community very well. I will serve this riding with honour, respect and dignity and try to fulfil their hopes and aspirations. Q. If elected, what will you do to create more licensed day care spaces in rural areas? A. I think the Liberal proposals on day care/early learning are exactly the policy that is needed to create more licensed day care spaces both in urban and in rural areas of the riding. The funding will support professional day care/early learning opportunities. The children will be supervised

educational environment to learn the fundamentals for entering primary education. Q. How do you plan to balance municipal, rural/agricultural priorities and infrastructure needs? A. I have learned a great deal about the issues affecting the rural parts of this riding during this election. I think I can work with all elements of the community to build solutions that work. Q. As the RCMP re-invents itself as Canada’s national police force, what priorities would you assign them, to whom should they report and why? A. I’m no expert on law enforcement and am reluctant to suggest what priorities a national police force should have other than fighting organized crime and continuing to provide police services to the provinces and to remote communities. I do believe the RCMP should function at arm’s-length from government. This is a principle that should be maintained, though it is clear, the RCMP should have some form of civilian oversight to ensure it is carrying out its mandate.

OCTOBER 10, 2008 - OTTAWA SOUTH WEEKENDER - PAGE 17

HOW I CAUGHT MY THANKSGIVING DINNER T

urkeys are fascinating creatures. Throughout the summer, whenever we passed by the barn where the turkeys were being held, the slightest noise would set them off. One would start with a single “buck!” and the rest, by some sort of turkey telepathy, would all join in a chorus: “gobble gobble gobble gobble...” It was truly the weirdest thing. The turkeys held the interest of more than one visiting relative from the city. The day eventually came when it was time to take the turkeys to Berube’s processing plant in Hallville. I was sound asleep one morning when I suddenly received a rude awakening by the alarm, just before sunup. My husband was already fully dressed, sitting at the end of the bed. “Where ya goin’?” I asked the Farmer, thinking he was off to wait in the stone fencerow for that wiley coyote who prowled at sunrise. Much to my surprise, my

dear husband took one end of the warm comforter and yanked it off the bed. “Come on, it’s Turkey Day! How can you write about it if you don’t help out?” I had to admit he had a point there. I shrugged my work clothes over my head and wandered out to the barn. It was the first time I had been up that early since lambing season. I had forgotten how incredible the sky was at dawn, and how sweet the air. Birds began to announce the coming day long before the sun poked its head over the horizon. Once in the barn, I hauled myself over the half-wall and into the female turkey pen while my husband gave direction. “Grab a tail. That will stop them. Then you can pick them up and put them in the cages. I’ll get the males.” I grabbed at a tail. And ended up with a handful of tail feathers. The startled turkey moved out of my reach. I tried again, this time going

THE ACCIDENTAL FARMWIFE

I had been wandering through the street market, when I smelled what I thought was french fries. Sure enough, the pretty young woman approaching me was carrying what looked like a small cardboard takeout carton of fries. But when she reached in, she pulled out a chicken

claw and bit down on it. By the way the girl gnawed on the foot, I gathered they were somewhat chewy. My husband’s voice brought me back to the present. The foot in my hand was attached to a frustrated thirty-pound turkey. “Watch out for the wings.” The hen began to beat me about the face and shoulders. I let go of the foot, brushed the feathers off my face and took a deep breath. I was damned if I was going to be defeated by a

stupid turkey. Turning my face away, I swooped under the fattest one I could find, grabbed both feet and yanked her up into the air. She beat her wings a bit, so I brought her fat chest in between my knees and held her there for a moment, warm against my thighs. She quieted. I flipped open the door to the cage with my foot and guided her in. I continued my winning method, and we filled the cages. After half an hour of lifting twenty-five pound turkeys (and those were the

runts), my arms were achin’ and my legs were shakin’. The Farmer tied the cages onto a trailer behind the truck. The turkeys seemed fairly content, as they quietly discussed their possible destination. Paris? Mexico, perhaps? . Yessir. Those farm-raised turkeys sure are fascinating. Not to mention, delicious. The Accidental Farmwife would like to wish each and every one of her readers a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. May your blessings be abundant.

A history of St. Andrew's: 173 years of families NATHAN JAHN WEEKENDER STAFF The history of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Kars is now available in a handy, readable format. Susan McKellar, clerk of session, has authored St. Andrew’s Kars: A Family Church 1835-2008. The book officially launches at the Presyberian church on Oct. 19. McKellar will be there to sign copies. Her two-year labour of love had her visiting archives locally and in Toronto to dig into the history of St. Andrew’s. “I worked on this for about two years and I received a lot of help from people in the congregation,” said McKellar. “I gave out a questionnaire a couple years ago and asked people to tell me their memories. One man wrote 10 pages about his memories of growing up as a child in the 30s and 40s and coming to church with horses through the snow and everything.” One of the things that

OCTOBER 10, 2008 - OTTAWA SOUTH WEEKENDER - PAGE 23 SNEAK PEEK! Susan McKellar, author of a new book St. Andrew's Kars: A Family Church 1835-2008, stands with her graphic designer, Evelyn Budd. McKellar is having an official book launch at St. Andrew's, in Kars, on Oct. 19, from 11-12:30.

really intrigued her is the generations upon generations of families and church members who are still in the area and somehow related to many other people in the area. “The term 'family church' is often used to describe churches that are small, under 100 people, where there are may be not as many committees, but things get done,” said McKellar. “I think that term is also appropriate for this church because it has a family feel to it: Even those who aren’t related feel cared for and part of the family.” The book launch and signing will be held at St. Andrew’s at 6180 Rideau Valley Drive South, in Kars, on Sunday, Oct. 19 from 11-12:30. The book is approximately 150 pages and includes almost 100 photos. It also comes with a CD of family histories and 400 more photos, which McKellar gathered during her two years odyssey. Copies of the book are available at the church, or by contacting McKellar at 613489-3961.
