EMC news - Brad Bonsall, was making his last pizza delivery near Rosenthal Avenue and Merivale Road when he was approached by a man with a knife. The suspect was standing on the road when Bonsall went up the house and was still in the same spot when he came out. “I asked him if he was waiting for a bus, and he said, ‘No. I am waiting for you,’” Bonsall said. “I thought it was weird but continued to walk to my car.” That’s when the man pulled a knife. “He wanted my money. I instinctively grabbed him and kneed him and threw him on the roof of my car,” Bonsall said, adding he was nearly double the size of the assailant. “He was like 5-foot-7 maybe 150 pounds, so when he pulled the knife with his right hand I grabbed it with my left and pinned him on the hood of my car.” The suspect still refused to drop the knife, so Bonsall hit the car alarm button on his keys. “He dropped the knife but then he got up and pulled another knife. He didn’t want to leave without his original knife,” Bonsall said. That’s when the 26-year-old pizza delivery man got in his car and started to drive away. “He tried breaking down my passenger window unsuccessfully,” he said. The attempted robbery on Sept. 29 was the latest in a string of robberies in the west end over a three-day period. See CHARGES on page 4

so Algonquin College has turned to the Internet to connect students with help. “Ottawa is well-served by mental health resources,” said the manager of the school’s counselling services, Jeff Agate. “But if it’s 2 a.m. on Saturday night, students can’t use the services on campus.” Agate said the Students’ Association identified the gap and paid for access to the website ICopeU.com/Algonquin, which went live shortly before an Oct. 2 launch event in the new Algonquin Commons Theatre.
“It’s built by young people, for young people,” Agate said, adding it’s “loud and busy” to help it catch students’ attention. The college also brought in musician Steven Page as a guest speaker and he shared his own story of mental challenges during his youth. “If you’re feeling panicked or lost or whatever else you’re feeling, if it’s something that is confusing you, take it seriously,” Page said.

Time to be more engaged: college president College students must deal with many pressures that go beyond getting good marks. Many are away from home for the first time, dealing with housing and financial challenges. Algonquin president Kent MacDonald quoted a statistic that suggests many college students will need assistance as they go through school. “Up to 21 per cent of people 15 to 24 years old struggle with some type of mental challenge,” MacDonald said. He said Algonquin can’t simply count “how many people come through the door” and consider it successful. “The time has come to be more engaged,” MacDonald said. In addition to the website, the college has committed to a new online course for all faculty so professors can identify students who may need assistance.

Alicia Holmes tests out the playground before class starts. The school’s playground for students in grades 1 to 5 was declared unsafe and removed. The parent council is worried that the kindergarten structure which was constructed 27 years ago may meet the same fate. ago and fears it will meet the same fate. It’s the policy of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board to remove a play structure automatically once it reaches a certain age. Initial estimates show that it could cost as much as $40,000 to $45,000 per playground. “It’s daunting, but it’s ex-
citing,” Hollis said. Right now the council is looking at everything from a Minto Foundation grants to a Halloween dance to raise enough money to build two new playgrounds. Hollis, who has been a figure skating coach for 18 years, said it’s important for the kids

The same 19-year-old man that made a grab for Bonsall’s money has been charged with robbery and weapons offences following a series of events that started at a convenience store in the 700 block of Baseline Rd. on Sept. 26. A lone man entered the store with a knife and assaulted the clerk at 1 a.m. on Sept. 26, leaving with an undisclosed amount of cash and bus tickets. The same morning at 2:45 a.m. the same man threatened the clerk of a convenience store in the 800 block of Meadowlands Dr. with a knife and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. It was three days later when Bonsall was threatened by the same man. Bonsall said he wasn’t trying to be brave, he just acted on instinct. “It wasn’t about the cash; I just reacted. I didn’t want to hurt the guy,” Bonsall said,
adding he drove to the police station to make a statement after disarming the wouldbe robber, and then drove to work to cash out. After that he headed home. “After that I had a couple of beers to calm down,” he said. The suspect was charged with two counts of robbery one count of attempted robbery, three counts of possession of weapons dangerous to the public, 16 counts of breach of recognizance and one count of obstructing police. He was scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 2. Bonsall said a week after the incident that the experience hadn’t changed the way he did his work or made him nervous about being out at night. “It was just a freak incident,” he said. Anyone with information with respect to this robbery, or any other robbery, is asked to contact the Ottawa police robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116.
EMC news - Jockvale Elementary School in Barrhaven may have taken in more students this year, but they are down a playground. Angie Hollis, who is the head of the parent council’s fundraising committee, said the school population has reached 483 – which is 64 more than the same time last year, according to figures from the board. “Because of the new Chapman Mills Public School we have a lot of new kids from Half Moon Bay,” she said, adding the new parents have been active on the council. The shift is a result of an accommodation review by the public board as a result of the new school on Leamington Way, which will open in March. Some of the boundaries were shifted to ease overcrowding at Barrhaven Public School and Farley Mowat Public School. But the new students might have nothing to play on. The play structure for students in grades 1 to 5 was deemed unsafe over the summer and removed. Hollis said the kindergarten one was built at the same time – 27 years
to stay active and have a place to play. “We are really reaching out to the community. We are looking at asking the Rotary Club, the Lions and Kiwanis,” she said, adding Barrhaven is a small and supportive community. Other public school councils, like Meadowlands Public School and Mary Honeywell Elementary School have also had to fundraise to replace their playgrounds. Meadowlands opened its playground last fall. Mary Honeywell has the funds it’s just waiting for construction, according to area trustee Donna Blackburn. Blackburn said she would be happy to lend her support behind the parent council. Last year Mary Honeywell managed to raise money “quite quickly” by going to the community. “They got a lot of little donations,” Blackburn said, citing proceeds from events like the Taste of Barrhaven. “I think we could learn a lot from past endeavours.” Aside from the Halloween dance set to be put on by the Grade 5 students on Oct. 26, Hollis said the council would be looking at things like a Lowes Foundation and the Aviva Community Fund.

Due to a high water table and difficulties with the soil the original alignment of the work had to be changed. The soil conditions between Craig Henry Drive and Woodroffe Avenue were too difficult to work in and the alignment of the proposed sewer was changed to route from Knoxdale Road to Beechcliffe Street. Holmes said with the construction on Beechcliffe Street, the watermain was also replaced, connecting the services to residential property lines. Holmes said the water main was placed deeper and the two sanitary lines were replaced by one. “It’s very rare to have two lines, and they were shallow,� she said. “I would guess because the ground is so difficult to work in.� Because of the changed route along Beechcliffe, that meant some excavating of people’s yards. Residents may have to wait until the spring to for their lawns to be fixed. Because of the road work, traffic was brought only allowed to travel one way on Knoxdale Road. Holmes said while the contractor was doing the trench work to replace the sewer lines, soil was shifting out from under the road bed.

Road work to end soon Continued from page 6
“We didn’t want anyone’s car to sink into the road,” she said. But the diversion has brought some traffic onto Conover Street, off of Craig Henry Drive. “It’s turned into Hunt Club Road,” one resident said. But the end is in sight. Holmes said all the work to put the underground infrastructure was in and work should be completed in late November if the weather holds. Crews would come back in the spring to pave over the roadway. The project’s original completion date was Oct. 15. Agnes Warda, president of the Glens Community Association, asked if the site work done in preparation of construction is flawed. “I have heard of a lot of projects in the city, especially in this area where the work gets delayed because of ground water and hydrogeology,” she said. “Is there no way to better prepare?” But site work is done sometimes as much a year in advance and things like snowfall and rain can impact groundwater. So sometimes there are surprises. GARBAGE
Marilyn Journeaux, the city manager in charge of garbage, told residents about the city’s new collection system which will see pickup every other week. Most of the ward will stay on the same day of pickup,
but areas like Trend Arlington and Merivale Gardens will see some changes. Residents were to be sent out notices after the Thanksgiving weekend. Journeaux said the city has saved $10 million by making the change, and residents who use their green bins, blue and black boxes shouldn’t be impacted by the reduced pickup. “Aside from the financial savings, it should help with waste diversion,” Jorneaux said. COMMUNITY POLICING
Const. Tim Murray, the community policing officer for the area south of Colonnade Road to Barrhaven, reminded residents to lock up. He said the Aug. 4 death of Tyler Campbell brought attention to abuse of drugs like fentanyl in Barrhaven and Manotick. He said drug use has led to a rash of break ins at Barrhaven homes, but most of the break ins were preventable. “Most of the break ins were the result of people leaving their homes unsecure while they were sleeping,” he said. Murray said in most cases a ground floor window was left unlocked. The thieves entered and grabbed whatever was handy. The Ottawa police have volunteers that will go into residents’ homes and perform a safety audit. They provide the homeowners with a written report of any possible security improvements. The Barrhaven community policing officer also reminded residents to complain to po-
lice about traffic concerns. “If there is a lot of speeding in your community the only way to ensure enforcement is to make a complaint,” he said. VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION
Egli reminded residents of his second annual volunteer appreciation night at Ben Franklin Place on Nov. 29. The nomination deadline is Oct. 26. Categories are: • Heart of the Community Award, which honours residents who have made a lifetime contribution to the ward. • Junior volunteer award, which honours the contributions of those residents under the age of 19 who make a difference in the ward. • Senior Volunteer Award, which recognizes a senior citizen residing in Ward 9 who has demonstrated dedication and commitment to the community throughout their volunteer endeavours. • Volunteer Family Award, which recognizes a family that volunteers together as a team. The nominated family is to include at least one adult and one child who are related. Nominees will be judged by a panel including Sir Winston Churchill Public School principal Aisling O’Donnell, inaugural Youth Volunteer Award winner Trevor Calof – who does an annual Haunt for MS (Multiple Sclerosis) fundraiser. Residents can nominate volunteers at keithegli.ca/volunteer-awards.
3 Ways to Buy a Home for Less Money Ottawa & Area - If you’re like most homebuyers, you have two primary considerations in mind when you start looking for a home. First, you want to find the home that perfectly meets your needs and desires, and secondly, you want to purchase this home for the lowest possible price. When you analyze those successful home buyers who have been able to purchase the home they want for thousands of dollars below a seller’s asking price, some common denominators emerge. While the negotiating skills of your agent are important, there are three additional key factors that must come into play long before you ever submit an offer. This topic has been the subject of extensive analysis by Industry Experts, and a summary of their findings, and a specific step-by-step purchase plan for homebuyers,
can be found in a new special report called “Homebuyers: How to Save Thousands of Dollars When You Buy”. This free report outlines the psychology of how a seller sets their asking price, and gives you 3 simple steps to follow, before you even set foot in a seller’s home, which could help you to successfully slash thousands of dollars off the price of the home you want.

Preparing for Ottawa’s vital green-bin change
C
hances are your garbage day is changing Oct. 29. If it’s not, you’re still going to have to get used to differences in the way trash is collected. For one thing, garbage will only be picked up every two weeks, while green bin materials will be collected weekly. Just shy of 160,000 households will soon get a letter telling them their garbage day is changing and letting
them know that text message, email and Twitter alerts are available for residents by signing up on the city’s collection calendar web page. Typically, changing the way someone’s trash is collected is enough to start a public uproar. Residents were unusually quiet last year when the city held public meetings about waste collection, but you can expect the outcry to get louder as the date of the changes draws closer.
But we hope that cooler heads prevail. Is taking out a green bin instead of a garbage bag every week such an onerous task? The benefits of diverting that recyclable organic waste away from the landfill cannot be overstated. Besides building the city’s new light-rail system, closing a landfill and finding somewhere else to bury our garbage would be the most expensive thing this city would ever have to do.
Currently, 42 per cent of household waste is diverted from the landfill through green, blue and black bin recycling. The switch would push the city’s organics diversion rate up by 50 per cent (about 40,000 tonnes), incrementally closer to the city’s goal of 60 per cent before the waste collection contract is renewed in 2016. Places like Sweden have loftier goals. That country already diverts 80 per cent of its waste away from landfills.
Complaints about the “mess� of green bins abound, but we have to wonder if those people realize that messy waste would still have to go into their garbage bags if they chose not to put it in their green bin. For every person who has given up on recycling organic waste because they found maggots in their bin, there is another person who has never faced that problem because they learned to freeze meat waste and put it into the bin
on pickup day. The city’s website, ottawa.ca/greenbin, is full of other common-sense tips to make the process cleaner and easier. Starting Oct. 29, people who choose to put their organic waste in the trash instead of the green bin will just have an extra week for it to decompose and cause odour. Or, they can simply put it into a different bin. It’s just a matter of being willing to adapt.
COLUMN
Our civic gambling addiction (and just incidentally helping to doom the horse racing industry when the slots are taken away from the race track). The mayor and council could be spending time, not to mention money, on ways to improve the lives of their constituents. Think of infrastructure, roads that don’t cave in, neighbourhoods that work, transit, traffic congestion. Instead, they are standing at the counter, waiting for the lottery ticket to pay off. Carrying the metaphor to its logical conclusion, taxpayers are the ones behind the counter making the decision. Is the casino a winner or not? We can decide that, either by encouraging the mayor’s casino dream or by frightening him off it. The final council decision will take quite a bit of time and the mayor did not get where he is today by not listening to people. So the question is, does the casino pay off for us? How does it pay off? Do tourists flock to Ottawa? Remember that some casinos in border cities have been doing badly. Do customers of the casino in Gatineau flock back? Do the customers drop big money in local restaurants and stores or do they just stay in the casino? Are there big tax revenues to be had? Are casinos an adornment to the downtown landscape or a drag on it? No one actually knows. All we really know is that gambling addiction is on the rise, with lots of social costs and that a new casino is certainly not going to reduce those. We have learned, from years of watching the industry develop, that there is nothing classy about casinos. We know that casinos are not really for the high-end, fashionably dressed tourists you see in the advertisements. They are also for people who can’t afford to gamble. Are we doing those people a favour by making it more convenient for them to lose their money? Are we doing the city a favour by doing this? Those questions don’t seem to concern the mayor and most of the councillors as they stand at the counter waiting for the machine to tell them they are winners, while the rest of us stand impatiently behind wanting them to move on and do something useful.
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
N
ew irritations are added to our lives every day. The latest is the fact that lottery tickets are on sale virtually everywhere and everywhere you go people in front of you are buying lottery tickets, while you wait and wait. You’ve got a magazine or chocolate bar or a package of razor blades to pay for and you can’t do it because the guy in front of you keeps buying tickets and winning more tickets and buying more tickets and winning again. The guy could be spending his money on something that could be improving the quality of his family’s life. Then he wouldn’t be standing at the cash clogging things up for everybody else. “Winner! Gagnant!,� the machine keeps exclaiming, way too cheerfully, while he keeps buying more tickets with his “winnings� and while you mutter under your breath about the decline of civilization and wonder if you should start ordering your razor blades online. In such small ways does gambling make life miserable for innocent bystanders. People are addicted to lottery tickets; stores are addicted to selling them. But before you spend too much time condemning these clients of the gambling industry, take a minute to look at who’s setting the example for them. That’s right. Our governments – as hooked on gambling as the unsmiling slot-machine feeders you see in the casinos. Exhibit A: The mayor of Ottawa and the city council – or at least most members of it – drooling over the prospect of a big shiny casino being located downtown somewhere

Reading, writing and...handwashing? Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Well brings clean water and sanitation to schools in Ghana
SUBMITTED
Three schools in Ghana are getting wells. By the time the project wraps up on World Water Day on March 22, nearly 2,000 students and teachers in Ghana, as well as their parents and nearby communities, will be facing a much brighter and healthier future. Since 2009, students from 70 schools around the world have raised over $77,000 for rainwater harvesting tanks in
Kenya, new wells and latrines in Uganda and Togo, plus clean water taps, education for teachers, and hygiene training. To join the School Challenge, visit www.ryanswell. ca/in-the-classroom.aspx. The Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Well Foundation grew out of the commitment of six-year-old Ryan Hreljac, who learned of the great need for safe water in developing countries. The Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Well Foundation is a family of people committed to delivering access to safe water and sanitation as an essential way to improve the lives of people in the developing world. The foundation empower citizens of all ages to take action and effect change in the world. Founded in 2001, Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Well is a registered Canadian charity at www.ryanswell.ca.

found out in Grade 1, they learn that they can help. This year, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be helping fellow students halfway around the world who lack lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most basic necessity. Teachers and students are invited to join the School Challenge and help raise $37,000 to build a well, latrines and handwashing stations at three schools in Ghana. The project also sponsors a school-toschool competition designed to teach health and hygiene, through classroom activities and traditional music, drama and dance. While students are fundraising, pictures and reports directly from Ghana will help them track the construction progress and follow the hygiene competition. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see immediately the positive impact theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making.

EMC news - In the Ashanti region of Ghana, three schools are humming with anticipation this year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not new computers that have them excited. Not a new gym or sports equipment. These students are getting new school latrines and a brand new water well. The Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Well Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth annual School Challenge project was created for students and teachers with a passion to run, bike, bake, compete, draw, sing, sell, collect, dress up, dress down â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wherever their imagination takes them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to make a difference in the world. Through the School Challenge, kids learn about the global water crisis and the fact that not everyone has a tap ďŹ&#x201A;owing with clean water. And just like Ryan Hreljac

Time for a national discussion
C
anada has no abortion law. I find this troubling. In 1969, the Liberal government of Pierre Trudeau decriminalized abortion. Abortions could occur, providing a committee of doctors deemed it necessary for a woman’s health. In 1988, the Supreme Court ruled that caveat within the law was unconstitutional and cancelled the law, ultimately punting it back to Parliament to create a new law. Parliament never did, so Canada has no abortion law. All Canada has is a definition of child, which states that a child is not considered a human being until it has exited the womb. Unlike other Western countries, which have determined restrictions on abortion – including gestational age limits – in Canada, it is perfectly legal for a woman to abort a baby at full-term, rather than to deliver it. Because it’s a woman’s right. There’s something wrong with this. Two weeks ago, Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth put forth a motion asking to strike a parliamentary committee to review the definition of child under Canadian law. The motion was defeated. What followed was a media frenzy, pouncing on the “right-
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse wing Christian Conservatives” in Harper’s cabinet – including Rona Ambrose, minister for the Status of Women, who evidently wanted to “strip away women’s reproductive rights in Canada.” A poster circulated widely on social media sites stated, “Canada’s Minister for the Status of Women just voted to criminalize abortion.” Mainstream media outlets claimed the Conservatives were “re-opening the abortion law debate in Canada.” Evidently, people failed to read the nuance of this story. For one thing, Canada has no abortion law – we have a vacuum -- so “re-opening the abortion law debate” is a misnomer. For another, Ambrose voted in favour of striking a committee to re-examine the definition of child under the law, which is hardly a vote to criminalize abortion. Finally, as far as I can tell, we’ve never had a debate on abortion in this country, at least not since the 1960s – and certainly not within the lifetimes of women who would currently be affected by such a discussion.
In the interest of full disclosure, I qualify as neither anti-abortion nor pro-choice. I’ve always been rather wishywashy on the subject of abortion. On the one hand, I think women should have some say on whether or not to carry a baby to term, particularly in cases where there has been abuse or where a woman is not positioned to care for a baby for a wide variety of reasons and of course where there is a medical reason. I’ve supported slightly less than a handful of girlfriends as they’ve made the choice to abort or not and I like to think I’ve done so without judgment. I’ve also been a consistent supporter of stem cell research. On the other hand, having been through three pregnancies myself, I believe there is a point where the fetus should qualify as a child under the law. At some point, the right of the fetus must be equivalent or greater than mine, as a woman. What that point is remains a huge grey area for me and, I would wager, for most Canadians.
Ultimately, it’s a shame that MPs, including the prime minister, voted against a motion that may have helped to clarify this issue. This is not merely an issue of the “Christian right.” If their voices seem the loudest, perhaps it’s because they have stronger convictions. If pro-choice representatives in Parliament feel so strongly about women’s rights, let them be brave enough to raise the issue in the House, create a law and put the issue to bed once and for all. Because, in the absence of a law, we are left with empty rhetoric. Do we prefer a Canada where pro-choice advocates feel comfortable overtly defaming cabinet ministers, suggesting – mistakenly – that they would see a return to the “backroom butcher” type of abortions that occurred in Canada prior to 1969? On the flip side, do we want antiabortion protesters to gather at busy intersections – as they did at Montreal Road and St. Laurent Boulevard last week with placards reading “stop killing babies”? This helps no one and hurts many. The empty rhetoric should be replaced by a national conversation. Let’s talk about it and see if we can figure out, under the law, our collective values on abortion, grounded in science and ethics.

[Inter]National Feral Cat Day October 16, 2012
Nepean Seniors Recreation Centre
Their ears were frostbitten, but they were lucky to have survived.
OPEN HOUSE
It’s a hard life for feral cats. Domesticated cats, if abandoned and living long enough outdoors, can become feral. Feral cats are homeless, “wild”, untamed cats, often born outside and having had little or no contact with humans. Ferals often live in groups called colonies. It is estimated there are millions of feral cats in North America. Some are lucky to have volunteer caretakers feed and care for them, at great expense to themselves – maybe someone in your neighbourhood. For some ferals, food is scarce. They get sick, frostbitten, attacked and injured or killed – and no one knows or cares. Fortunately, a Trap-Neuter-Return program reduces the feral population humanely and gradually; but the whole colony needs to be vaccinated too, and then managed under the care of a dedicated cat colony caretaker. Kittens and not-so-wild cats can sometimes be adopted into homes. Wilder but healthy cats are returned to their colonies.
Join us for an enjoyable afternoon of activities and find out what’s new at the Centre. Enjoy displays, demonstrations and refreshments. Our own Nepean Songsters choir and Golden Oldies Tap Dance Performance Group will provide entertainment. There will be many opportunities throughout the entire afternoon to try the various activities that are offered at the Centre.
Something for Everyone Members can participate in any or all of our recreational activities, including floor shuffleboard, carpet bowling, card groups, 5 pin bowling, curling, fitness classes, dance classes, choir, creative crafters, computer club, walking/ cycling/cross-country skiing/snowshoeing clubs, travel club and many social events.

Campbell, who has been involved in guiding since she was a child, said the activities are really centred on being a girl. “There are some girls who are doing scouts in the neighbourhood because there has been no brownie troop for such a long time,” she said. “But it’s about kindness and giving of themselves and the community. It’s bigger than just babysitting.” Those interested in signing up their kids or volunteering as a leader can email cl.28@ guidesontario.org.

EMC news - The city’s transportation committee signed off on the $5.2-million purchase of a plot of land on Woodroffe Avenue on Oct. 3. The purchase will seal the deal for a future Barrhaven park-and-ride meant to serve residents on both sides of the Rideau River. The report presented to the committee said both the city’s transportation master plan and official plan call for a parkand-ride to serve the southeastern part of Barrhaven. The need for the park-and-ride was identified in a 2008 update to the transportation plan. “Continued rapid residential growth in Barrhaven would be served by the new park and ride,” the report reads. The new lot – which would have 680 parking spaces – would be serviced by the bus route 94. The bus would access use an already constructed bus turnaround on the lot at 3311 Woodroffe Ave.
The land is also located on the future Chapman Mills rapid transit corridor and will connect with the Strandherd Drive transit corridor before

linking up with the bus-only lanes on the Strandherd Armstrong Bridge. The route would connect northward along Woodroffe Avenue for commuters travelling to Fallowfield station and
south to the Riverview park and ride lot in Riverside South where commuters have the option of continuing downtown. “The purchase of this land from the South Nepean Development Corporation allows the city to move forward on its plans to provide convenient, accessible rapid transit service to the residents of south Ottawa,” Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches said in a press release. “In addition to the residents of Barrhaven, many residents in rural Ottawa will also benefit from this park-and-ride facility along this major transportation corridor.” The land the purchased from the SNDC amounts to more than four hectares. The development corporation will be developing two single-storey mixed-use buildings in the land adjacent to the park and ride. Desroches said potential uses could include banks, a convenience store, office space or a service or repair business.

Self-mutilation trend on the rise: expert Self-injury as a form of appeasement EMC news - More and more teenagers are turning to selfmutilation to cope with their inner turmoil. Dr. Martin Gauthier, psychiatrist-in-chief at the Montreal Children’s Hospital says the number of teenagers deliberately and repeatedly injuring their bodies by cutting, piercing or biting their flesh is growing at an alarming rate. When the psychiatrist started his practice 25 years ago, he seldom encountered adolescents who purposely mutilated themselves. When he did, they were often psychotic, intellectually challenged or autistic. About half the teenage patients he treats today are self-injurers. “In the adolescent clinical population, it is about one in two,” Gauthier said. “In the general population, one in six is a conservative figure. It goes up to one in three in some surveys.” Female self-injurers are more likely to seek professional help but studies indicate selfmutilation is practised equally by adolescent boys and girls across all racial and socioeconomic groups. The most common form of self-injury is cutting the skin with a razor blade,
knife, scissors or other sharp tool. Less frequently, teenagers also pinch, burn, hit, prick and bite themselves. Typical targets are the arms, legs and abdomen and they often hide their scars behind clothing. Gauthier also points out that self-mutilation is rarely a symptom of severe mental illness or a method used to commit suicide. It typically stems from inner turmoil caused by painful or unresolved issues such as intense adolescent angst and the emotional aftershocks of bullying or sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. “Most teenagers harm themselves because they are trying to feel better and cannot access other ways to deal with how terrible they feel. Self-mutilation helps to get rid of the tension and to resume normal activities. When repeated, it appears to become more mechanical and quasi addictive,” he says. An increasing number of teenagers are experimenting with self-mutilation to mimic celebrities and their peers. “Self-mutilation is very contagious. It is obvious on a psychiatric ward as it spreads from one patient to others. The same phenomenon exists ob-
viously in schools and in our society through the examples given by stars, actors, musicians, and other teens. It has also been observed in jails and reception centers.” Some specialists hypothesize the compulsive urge to self-mutilate may be reinforced by the release of opioidlike endorphins, which results in a natural high. Gauthier also questions the connection between self-mutilation, and adolescent emotional and sexual development. Teenagers rarely seek help for self-mutilation and it can be a difficult pattern to break. Gauthier says a comprehensive assessment is crucial, not necessarily by a child psychiatrist but by a competent mental health professional. That professional will be able to assess when a psychiatrist is needed. “We rarely address the self-mutilation alone. It is one aspect of the adolescent’s difficulties and the treatment will want to keep a global view. Specific suggestions to replace self-mutilation by more integrative solutions are more possible once a therapeutic alliance is established and the adolescent wants to stop cutting.”
Hair extensions a specialty at Souls Parlour By Bev McRae toupees and frontals customized for clients who want either a change in style or to regain the volume and length lost through age or a medical condition. Macharia attaches hair extensions or partial wigs to a client’s hair with clips for temporary use or with more permanent methods like “euro-locs” (tiny plastic coated shells), double-sided tape or keratin glue. Hair wefts can also be sewn to a tiny corn row fashioned in the client’s hair. “These methods will last a couple of months, depending on how often you wash your hair and how fast your hair grows because the partial gets loose. We’re talking about four weeks to six weeks. You just come in and I would just do the cornrow again and put the hair back for probably $35.”
If you want to take advantage of the latest trend in hair fashions or if you are worried that your hair is thinning because of age or a medical condition, then you need to head to Souls Parlour in Barrhaven. “We’re a full hair salon so we do everything you expect from a full hair salon from cuts to colour, but we also offer services that you can’t get at many places,” said Debby Wairimu Macharia, owner of Souls Parlour. “We cater to a lot of the Afro clientele so we do the relaxers and braiding, but what makes us unique is that most of our clients are referred from other hairdressers because we’re the only people in Barrhaven who do hair extensions.” Macharia is a qualified hair extensionist with her own line of “Silk” hair extensions, human hair in more than 20 shades from blond to brunette to black. “It’s called remy hair, human hair whose cuticles have been aligned in one direction so it doesn’t tangle,” she said. “I’ve really been burned by getting hair that wasn’t the standard I wanted so I decided to source it from China or India so I know what I’m getting. Eighteen inches is the most popular length and one packet is only 99 dollars. The reason I can sell it at such a low price is that I get it direct from the factory.” Souls Parlour also offers high quality wigs, wig toppers, 18
Nepean-Barrhaven EMC - Thursday, October 11, 2012
Hair extensions are popular with all ages for all sorts of reasons, said Macharia. “For the younger kids, below 13, feather extensions are a trend,” she said. “Older than that, it’s the Hollywood trend. Britney Spears has extensions so it’s the ‘in’ thing. They want the long hair. Most of those clients will get clip-in extensions. Then I have the 25 to 40 age group who just want a style they can maintain. Those are the people who maybe have had a bad haircut and they’re trying to grow it back, so we use extensions. Then I have the ones who want highlights but don’t want to spoil their hair. Maybe they have black hair and want blond highlights, so I can easily do the euro-locs everywhere and they look like they have highlights. Or maybe they just want a purple or blue streak at the front.”
OCTOBER SPECIALS Highlights/cut and blowdry $74.95 Full pack 18” Remy human hair extensions $99.99 Hair relaxer/treatment and split ends $75
Souls Parlour is a proud sponsor of The Kings Daughter (Nicole). Here she has used our Human hair silk line and the signature IMAHA products. Macharia has many clients who have lost a little or a lot of hair due to age, medical conditions or cancer treatments. “We do wigs and partials for people who are losing hair from cancer and everything. That is a customized appointment,” she said. “I’ve been told by my clients that I am one of the most affordable places. My partials range from 180 to 300 dollars. At other places it’s anywhere from 800 to 2,000.” Souls Parlour also boasts its own “Signature” skin care and makeup line. “That started because as a black woman it was hard for me to get makeup, but we now have the whole range from ivory to the darkest bronze,” said the owner. “We’re distributors so people are buying it wholesale and selling it at their salons.” You will see all ages and all hair colours enjoying the Souls Parlour experience at 900 Greenbank Rd. in Barrhaven, but you won’t see any men. “I made the hard decision not to have male clients because most of my clients with hair extensions are very uncomfortable when men come in to the salon
for haircuts. So I just decided to respect that. And we always ask if a client wants a private consultation. If someone is very self-conscious, I’ll give them an early morning appointment at 8 a.m. or a day when there’s just me in the salon.” Macharia maximizes her accreditation as a hair extensionist at her International School of Hair Extensions. “I’m usually called to a salon because an owner wants their stylists trained, but some stylists want private classes so those I offer here,” she said. “We have four modules that cover every method of hair extensions – clip-ins, bonding, euro-locs and fusion for instance.” Souls Parlour is located at 900 Greenbank Rd., Barrhaven. For more information, or to book an appointment, call (613) 825-6666 or visit the website at www.soulsparlour.com.

Ping Pong event surpasses goal Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - A recent ping pong fundraiser in the Byward Market was resounding success when organizers announced the event doubled its original goal. More than 250 people played a little ping pong for charity on Sept. 28 at the third Ottawa Charity Ping Pong Tournament at the SpinBin located at 310 Dalhousie St. The event was in support of four charities: Do it for Daron, the Youth Services Bureau, Operation Come Home and Christie Lake Kids. After covering some overhead costs Michael Kirkpatrick, organizer and treasurer for the event, announced each charity will receive $5,000. “The real winners here are the charities,” he said. “This event was all about raising their profiles and raising money for them. That was what it was all about.”
The last two events, organized by Kirkpatrick and his friends, raised a total of $7,000 for charity. This year, organizers had aimed to raise $10,000, but surpassed that goal by $16,000. “It really was amazing,” he said. PRIZES
The event offered ping pong enthusiasts a chance to compete for prizes, but the real goal Kirkpatrick said was to have fun. “I think the best thing was it was nice to see everyone come together to help raise money for the event, it was great we managed to make it happen,” Kirkpatrick said. The event promised and delivered a good time for participants, Kirkpatrick said, with musical guests Rory Gardiner and The Pelts setting the mood for the players and cheering section. There were prizes, a silent auc-
tion and everyone was sporting their best ping pong outfits for the fun-filled event. The event was for charity, but there were three master table tennis players who walked away winners: Bence Csaba, Jebeur Fathally and Laine Silver. Each beat out the other players to win the top three prizes of the night. Silver later told Kirkpatrick the evening made her feel like a child again, playing ping pong in her parents basement. Silver added her brother, who lives in Newfoundland, would be making the trip to Ottawa next year to attend the event. Kirkpatrick said the event was such as success thanks to his friends and fellow organizers: Tristan Hanington from K6 Media who helped with promotion, Wendy Leung from Beyond Events, and Verdun Windows and Doors for offering to be the event’s title sponsor.

Sandy Hill resident Rachel Burgess is cheered on by her Cinnamon Toast New Media teammates at the Spin Bin (the Cabin) in Ottawa’s ByWard Market for the Ottawa Charity Ping Pong event on Sept. 28. The third-annual event smashed its original fundraising goal of $10,000 by raising $26,000 for four local charities: Christie Lake Kids, Operation Come Home, the Youth Services Bureau and Do It For Daron.
One call can save a child: October is child abuse and neglect prevention month EMC news - Only 42 per cent of Ottawa residents claim to know how to report abuse directly to the Children’s Aid Society (CAS). This suggests that there are far too many vulnerable children and youth, without a voice, in our community. During Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month, through a variety of media outlets and social media
tools, it is the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa’s mission to educate the public about the prevention of abuse. “People feel it’s hard to infringe on parental rights and they’re naturally hesitant to involve themselves,” said Barbara MacKinnon, executive director of the CAS of Ottawa. “When reporting to CAS, it doesn’t mean we are going to remove a child from
their home. It is about assessing the situation and discovering whether the family may benefit from support services.” Signs may not always be prevalent in a child who has been abused or neglected. This is why the community must stay informed of the signs of abuse and learn when and who to call. “If your gut tells you that some-
thing’s wrong, then it probably is,” said MacKinnon. Not all calls received by CAS result in an investigation, and only an extremely small percentage of investigations require that a child or youth be removed from the family home. Most often, the intervention involves simply connecting the family to services within the community.
Last year, in more than 90 per cent of cases where CAS became involved, work was done with the family and the child stayed home. Get involved and help protect children in our community. For more information on the signs of abuse, visit useyourvoice.ca. If you suspect child abuse or neglect call 613-747-7800, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Important changes are coming on October 29 1. Bi-weekly garbage collection. Household residual garbage will be collected every two weeks.
2. New collection days. If your collection day is changing the City will send you a letter in October.
3. Green bin pickup. Your green bin will be collected weekly.
Think about it... It all has to go somewhere. 2012098146 R0021668206-1011

Dylan Noel Gates Bannan has some fun posing in the stockades at Walt Disney World.
What would a trip to Walt Disney World be without a visit with Mickey Mouse himself? Mickey and other Disney characters took part in a parade through the park.
Sisters Shaily and Feyah Turner of Orleans could barely contain their excitement on the plane ride to Orlando, Florida Sept. 25 The girls couldn’t wait to hit Splash Mountain, having looked it up online before the trip.
Dreams take flight at Walt Disney World Theresa Fritz Theresa.fritz@metroland.com
EMC events – One hundred and twenty-eight children enjoyed ice cream as they watched the sun come up aboard an Air Canada flight staffed by a pirate crew as they made their way to the “happiest place on earth.” And if that sounds like the start of the best day ever, it only got better as the annual Dreams Take Flight Ottawa trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. touched down shortly after 9 a.m. on Sept. 25. By 10:30 a.m., children who might never have had the chance to visit the theme park could barely contain their excitement – eager to experience everything Disney had to offer. The day began bright and early at 4 a.m., as parents and children arrived at Ottawa’s Canada Reception Centre, where the prime minister and other dignitaries fly from, in anticipation of the 5:30 a.m. flight. Once inside the hangar, all were greeted by nearly 100 smiling Dreams Take Flight Ottawa volunteers who turned what could have been a chaotic scene into a sea of excitement and organization. Each child and volunteer received a uniform to wear on the trip. Children received white Tshirts, red hats, black shorts and Crocs. Volunteers received a white hat, white shirt, black shorts/capris and Crocs. VOLUNTEERS
Volunteer Nida Kealey recalled how her now 18-yearold autistic son went on a Disney trip with the organization nine years ago and it was the best thing he could have done. He has since travelled on a plane 10 times and she credits the Dreams trip with giving him the confidence to do whatever he set his mind to. Since October 1995, Dreams Take Flight Ottawa has given children with physical, mental or social challenges an incredible day where they can be carefree and make memories to last forever. A total of nine hours was spent at Disney World including meals
and shopping time. Dreams Take Flight Ottawa uses specific criteria to select children for the trip. Among the criteria, children with special needs must represent various agencies, be between the ages of six and 12 and have never visited a Disney theme park before. Making special memories happen is not cheap. This year’s trip cost $195,000 and would not have been possible without assistance from organizations like Air Canada, which donated the plane for the trip and Shell, which donated the fuel. The Air Canada pilots and flight crew for the trip also donated their time, taking a vacation day to be part of the magical experience that not only included dressing up for the flight but also coming to the park later in the day to enjoy the rides. Other corporate sponsors like Mark’s, Crocs and Bentley stepped up again to assist with clothing, shoes and backpacks for volunteers and children. And even more sponsors support the trip and the charity in other ways. Dreams Take Flight is a 100-per-cent voluntary run organization. Various fundraising events held over the course of the year help top off coffers so everything is paid for on the trip. Children also received spending money to bring home a special Disney souvenir. For some parents, the trip marked the first time their children were either away from them or travelling to the United States without them. But, the fear of having a child gone for nearly 24 hours was not greater than their desire for them to have the experience of a lifetime. Dunrobin’s Laura Taffinder, 8, was recommended for the trip by the teacher at her school in Kanata. “She is very, very excited,” said her mom Tracy Taffinder, who said she was not nervous about her daughter travelling without her. “I am so excited for her. It really is the chance of a lifetime.” Laura even managed to get a full night’s sleep before the flight, with mom having no trouble waking her up bright

Splash Mountain was one of the most popular ride choices at Walt Disney World. Dreams Take Flight volunteers Mike Banville, Wendy Robblee (with mouse ears) and trip participant Kideyn Matthias are all smiles and they move along the circuit before taking the 50-foot plunge. Children, volunteers and even the media got to spend nine hours at Disney enjoying the sights, sounds and most of all the rides amidst hot and humid Florida weather Sept. 25. and early. This year’s trip to Disney World featured a number of siblings sharing the magical experience. Among them were sisters Shaily and Feyah Turner of Orleans. “We are very excited,” 12-year-old Shaily said on the plane, noting the sisters couldn’t wait to ride the popular Splash Mountain ride. “We have been looking it up (on) the computer for quite a while.” The first rides chosen by groups the minute they walked through Disney’s gates were either Splash Mountain or Space Mountain, and they were revisited frequently throughout the day. While the water ride sends riders hurling down a 15-metre water drop and the other is a roller coaster ride in the dark, the screams heard were not of fear but excitement. As the day went on, the smiles got wider. While most
of the children on the trip were English, a number of French youngsters enjoyed themselves as well. One of those was Denisha Poulain Levasseur. She had a great time driving a race car on the Speedway ride and she kept saying she could not believe she was doing it. For some volunteers, this year’s trip likely marked their last with the organization. GREAT GROUPS
“It has been awesome. The kids are great. We’ve had a great group today,” said 2012 Dreams Take Flight Ottawa president Nicole Banville midway through the Disney World trip day. Banville is stepping down as a director with the organization and the most recent trip marked her final one. “It is bittersweet. I will miss
everybody. I will probably hang a bit, maybe volunteer,” she mused. “I think the kids have had a great time from what I have seen,” Banville concluded. Her husband Mike, the organization’s vice president, has been on 14 trips to Disney World and he said the experience is very gratifying. As the day wound its way to a close, and all the rides has been thoroughly ridden, children and volunteers made their way to Disney World’s famous Main Street for some souvenir shopping. Each child received $30 to find that special memento of a day not to be forgotten anytime soon. The group arrived back at the hangar at Orlando International Airport and boarded the steps to the waiting plane before the 9 p.m. takeoff. While the trip down to Florida had been filled with the
sounds of excited children, the return trip was much quieter and many huddled down in the first class sleeper bunks to dream about the incredible day that had become reality. FAMILIES
Once back inside the Canada Reception Centre, each child received a donated Bentley backpack filled with gifts to mark celebrating their special day. From there, they were ushered into the main part of the hangar where a red carpet was rolled out and parents waited eagerly for their children. “This was the best day ever,” one child was overheard telling his parents. No doubt, a sentiment shared between many other parents and children as they reunited after a long, exhausting but thrilling day.

Riders mount up for charity event Cruise event doubles in size, money raised Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - An annual motorcycle fundraiser ride is revving up to become the biggest earner for the Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre after another successful year. The third annual Cruise Don’t Bruise: Bikers Against Violence fundraiser took place on Sept. 15. The event raised more than $15,000 for the centre’s anti-violence programs. “It has grown so much in two years,” said Ken Mackenzie, the centre’s program manager. Last year’s event raised $12,000. The ride has not only gained monetary support, but the number of riders has also grown substantially, growing from 60 riders the first year, nearly 100 in the second to this year’s grand total of 135 riders. Geraldine Dixon, a volunteer at the centre who also rides a motorcycle, finds the fundraiser important for both the centre and the motorcycling community. “It is a good thing when we come together to make a difference,” Dixon said. “It is about changing one life at a
time. The biker community really has gotten behind this event and happy to help give back.” The route started at the Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre, located at 2339 Ogilvie Rd. and travelled to the centre’s satellite location at 1515 Tenth Line Rd. where a barbecue was provided for riders and participants. Of the amount raised the Scotiabank branch at the Beaconhill Shopping Centre donated $5,000. Local politicians, including Orleans MP Royal Galipeau, Ottawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur, Mayor Jim Watson, Beacon HillCyrville Coun. Tim Tierney and deputy police chief Gilles Larochelle were present at the event. The next ride will take place on Sept. 14, 2013. The centre served 1,962 clients between April 2011 and March 2012 through its women and violence program. Although it receives funding from the province and the city, the money raised allows the centre more freedom when it comes to helping clients. For more information about the centre, visit the centre’s website www.eorc-creo.ca. SUBMITTED
The third annual Cruise Don’t Bruise: Bikers Against Violence fundraiser for the Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre raised more than $15,000 for the centre’s anti-violence programs on Sept. 15. More than 130 motorcycle riders came out to help the centre raise awareness and money for its women and violence program.

Councillor puts on his dancing shoes for charity Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury has been practicing his dips, twirls and smooth moves to help raise money for children and youth with physical disabilities. On Oct. 12, the second Dancing with the Stars for Easter Seals Kids fundraiser event will take place in Ottawa. Among the celebrities who will be participating is sporting enthusiast Fleury, who has his eye on finishing first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe it is my competitive background, but I am in this to win it,â&#x20AC;? Fleury said. The event will take place at the Delta Ottawa City Centre. At the inaugural event, Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs participated. Prior to the 16 dance lessons offered to Fleury, the councillor admitted his dance steps were limited to a side shuffle at best. Hobbs, Fleury said, put his name in to participate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a bit nervous, it is different than any other sport,â&#x20AC;? he said. Fleury is learning all he needs to know at the Glebeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fred Astaire Studio. The studio has offered 16 free lessons to all the participants and each celebrity dancer gets a Fred Astaire dance instructor as a partner for the eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dance. Director of the Glebe studio, Melissa Krulick, said the event is a lot of fun for the instructors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important to us to give back

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury practices his moves with Fred Astaire Dance Studio instructor Meaghan Cameron. The councillor, along with seven other local celebrities will be competing to win bragging rights as this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dancing with the Stars for Easter Seals Kids on Oct. 12. to the community,â&#x20AC;? Krulick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The camaraderie that takes place during the lessons is great to see. Everyone becomes fast friends.â&#x20AC;? Fleuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructor, Meaghan Cameron, said her partner is definitely working hard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really appreciate how much ef-
fort Mathieu (Fleury) is putting in to this,â&#x20AC;? Cameron said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a lot of hard work.â&#x20AC;? Cameron added the dances the celebrities will be performing are moves most students do not learn until they have had at least a year or more of training.
Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event raised $25,000 for the charity. The money provides families of children with physical disabilities with financial assistance for mobility equipment, communication devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, and braces. It also helps fund a fully acces-
sible Easter Seals camps, and funding for alternative recreational programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dancing with the Stars for Easter Seals Kids is a fun and fabulous evening for a great cause,â&#x20AC;? said Rebecca Leikin, development officer for Easter Seals Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a fantastic lineup of local celebrity dancers who are working hard to put together routines with their professional partners. It will be an event you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss.â&#x20AC;? The other celebrity dancers competing against Fleury are Lynsey Bennett, who was Miss Canada 2003; CTVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leanne Cusack; Ottawa lawyer Lawrence Greenspon; Don Martin, host of CTVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Power Play; Majic 100 hosts Trisha Owens and Kurt Stoodley; and Mary Taggart, editor-in-chief of Ottawa at Home magazine. Each dancing team will perform two dances. For Fleury, he will be performing the tango and ballroom dancing. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s champion, Elizabeth Manley will return to act as one of the celebrity judges, but the audience is also encouraged to vote for their favourite dance team by purchasing voting tickets for $10 each or three for $25. Tickets for the event are $100 per person. A silent auction and raffle will also take place for $20 each. To reserve your tickets, please call 613-226-3051, or email Leikin at rleikin@easterseals.org. For more information about Easter Seals Ontario or to donate, visit www.easterseals.org.

Announcing Drug-less ADHD Relief by local Barrhaven Chiropractor Trained by World-Renowned ADHD Expert Dr. Edward Hallowell Ottawa, ON (Sept 19, 2012) – Barrhaven Wellness Centre now offers a holistic approach to help people manage the challenges associated with ADHD. Barrhaven Wellness Centre is a Certified “SHINE for Doctors: Special Help for Integrating Neurological Experience” practice that combines ADHD Expertise, Chiropractic alignment, Neurological assessment with Exercise and Nutrition counseling. ADHD is typically characterized by impulsivity, inattentiveness, and hyperactivity – characteristics that make it hard for those with this trait to reach their highest potential. Dr. Hallowell considers ADHD to be a trait, not a disability. When managed effectively, those with ADHD have accomplished extraordinary successes, but if undiagnosed or untreated, ADHD can wreck lives. Dr. Hallowell says that having ADHD is like having a Ferrari engine, with bicycle brakes. In keeping with this analogy, Dr. Kahlid Mankal, of the Barrhaven Wellness Centre (www. barrhavenwellnesscentre.com) says, “We teach children and adults with ADHD how to strengthen their “brakes” while also giving their bodies and “engines” a tune-up. Medication is not the only answer.” Recent studies indicate that the use of medication to help manage ADHD is on the rise, however, many people with ADHD prefer a holistic, alternative approach and are already familiar with Dr. Hallowell and his NY Times best selling book, Delivered from Distraction. The Barrhaven Wellness Centre will combine Dr. Hallowell’s strength-based approach by first identifying the unique gifts inherent in everyone, and then tailoring their proven chiropractic techniques to help the person with ADHD achieve their full potential. More information on the SHINE program can be found at wwwbarrhavenwellnesscentre.com. Edward Hallowell, M.D, is a child and adult psychiatrist, NY Times bestselling author, world-renowned

Cancer diagnosis prompts woman to ‘Live, Act, Be Grateful’ Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com
EMC news - Being told that you suffer from an incurable form of cancer is devastating news for someone to hear. However, a Riverside Park woman with chronic blood cancer is putting a brave face on amid her struggle, bringing hope and working hard to raise money to help find cure. Fifty-year-old Lesia Maruschak is a mother of two and was a healthy,
“I had to face death and choose life.” LESIA MARUSCHAK
hard working public servant until 2010, when she was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a cancer that typically affects men in their 60s and 70s. Since then Maruschak decided that Live, Act, Be Grateful would be her motto and that she would adopt a holistic means of healing, one that included her body, psyche and her spirit. “One of the first things that the hematologist that first diagnosed me told me was that – (my cancer) was in the early stages, but it is not like some of the other cancers where stage one would mean good news and the chances of survival were fantastic. ‘It doesn’t work that way with your type of cancer,’” she said.
Maruschak is spearheading this year’s Light the Night walk to find a cure for leukemia and other blood cancers. “Cancer is a big word, a scary word. It came into my life uninvited, quietly, and unexpectedly,” said Maruschak. “I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. It is a challenging journey because of the type of the blood cancer that I have which is incurable.” The Light The Night walk is Canada’s night to pay tribute and bring hope to all those affected by blood cancer. On Oct. 13, Maruschak will join thousands of people walking in twilight carrying illuminated balloons from the Marion Dewar Plaza outside city hall to Pretoria Bridge and back. “The campaign has been phenomenal to me, because I face an incurable cancer and I know the only way we are going to arrive at a cure is research and research comes about through funding,” she said. Last year, Maruschak and her team members had a goal of raising $2,500, but at the end of that campaign they had more than $30,000. Her formal goal this year is raising $20,000 as a team and $15,000 personally. “By engaging a group of people in trying to do something in common good has brought a lot of meaning to people’s lives when they are in situations that are very difficult,” said Maruschak. DIFFICULT JOURNEY
She said she has been very fortunate to have a supporting family and she has been strong spiritually and that has helped her cope. “When I was diagnosed, I realized that I was definitely less interested in just doing and achieving things,” Maruschak said. “The very quiet and the very simple things became important to me. “My religious side, which is a very personal thing, became a huge priority in my life. It very much changed the nature of how I define my priorities in life.” She added that cancer changed who she is. “I had to face death and choose life.” MESSAGE
EDDIE RWEMA/METROLAND
In 2010, Lesia Maruschak was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a cancer that typically affects men in their 60s and 70s. A graduate of the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Ottawa, Maruschak worked for the federal public service for most of her professional life, until her life was suddenly thrown into turmoil in November of 2010, when she discovered she had cancer. “That becomes one of the most
difficult things to cope with,” she said. Regardless, she said the disease has offered her the opportunity to choose what was most important in her life and to put it first and how she defines her priorities. “There is no medical treatment to pursue at this time,” said Maruschak.
“This has not been an easy process, nor is it over,” Maruschak said. “I am on an ongoing healing journey where each day is a blessing, each friendship a gift. I no longer plan things for a time in the future. I choose to live now, today.” Her message to others struggling like she is – hope. “Regardless how difficult that journey is, we some how value every moment,” she said. “I try to do a better job of taking care of myself. I try to eat differently, incorporate things like yoga into my life and take a holistic perspective to living a healthier and better life.” For more information or to register for the walk, visit www.lightthenight.ca.

Ringing endorsements accompany final Lansdowne OKs Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Shops, restaurants and football will make a renewed Lansdowne Park a success, according to presentations by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partners on the project before the finance committee gave Lansdowneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s redevelopment its final blessing on Oct. 2. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans was the only member of the 11-member finance and economic development committee to vote against the final Lansdowne partnership agreements with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group. Deans said she hopes Lansdowne will become a success, but she had concerns about creeping costs, including an additional $12 million in capital authority the committee was asked to approve. The rest of the committee, include the chairman, Mayor Jim Watson, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to express appreciation to group and city staff for the final financial plan and legal agreements that will make the long-discussed redevelopment a reality. Admitting that there will be challenges and no plan is perfect, the mayor said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to move forward
on Lansdowne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The period of talk is over. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now moving into the action phase,â&#x20AC;? Watson told the committee, calling the project â&#x20AC;&#x153;an opportunity of a lifetime.â&#x20AC;? Full city council will be asked to approve the project on Oct. 10 and major construction on the new components would be allowed to start as soon as Oct. 15. MORE VISITORS?
Lansdowne will welcome between 7.5 million and 10 million visitors each year, said Roger Greenberg, head of OSEG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more than the group had originally anticipated when it calculated how much it could earn by selling naming rights for the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facilities. While Greenberg framed the volume of visitors as a positive thing, the perceived increase raised flags for councillors. The wardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s councillor, David Chernushenko, and Deans asked what impact the number of visitors would have on transportation plans for Lansdowne. The number of projected visitors hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gone up, Greenberg said. Rather, OSEG did more homework
and crunched the numbers to find out how many people would be expected to visit the site throughout the year, including residents, office workers, shoppers and park goers in addition to the visitors expected for large stadium events that were originally considered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect any more than we would have expected in totality in 2010,â&#x20AC;? Greenberg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just adding them all together when it comes to selling naming rights.â&#x20AC;? Previous city reports on the Lansdowne redevelopment indicate that eight million tourists visit Ottawa each year. Whether or not there are more visitors than originally estimated, transportation is going to be a concern - a message conveyed by Chernushenko and other councillors, including transportation chairwoman Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. NAMING RIGHTS
But whether the site will still be called Lansdowne Park is another question altogether, Greenberg said. The group plans to sell naming rights for different parts of the development to willing sponsors in
#$% &'
a bid to earn $50 million in revenue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; far more than the original estimate of $15.7 million. It will be up to the city if it still wants to keep the name Lansdowne Park for the urban park portion of the site. The naming-rights revenue would be earned by seeking a major sponsor and smaller sponsorships for the other components, including the stadium, mixed-use retail and office area. Greenberg said he still wants to find a way to recognize the stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic namesake, Frank Clair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very sensitive to the history â&#x20AC;Ś We really want to connect with the past,â&#x20AC;? Greenberg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be mindful of the names that are there, but we need to ensure the naming rights sponsor has a major role to play as well.â&#x20AC;? STADIUM DESIGN
The man behind the striking, wooden â&#x20AC;&#x153;veilâ&#x20AC;? redesign for the football stadium is no longer working on the project. Rob Claiborne penned the design, but he is no longer with the design firm in charge of the project, Cannon Design. While city councillors asked if
Claiborne could be made available to help review changes to the design, Greenberg said relations between the architect and his former firm â&#x20AC;&#x153;arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly cordial.â&#x20AC;? Those changes include removing 14 metres of roof and box beams from the north side roof to address snow accumulation issues and make the stadium more symmetrical; changes to simplify the construction and maintenance of the wooden veil structure; and reducing the size of the canopies covering the stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s north-side entrances. RETAIL
Greenberg said despite concerns aired in the media, retailers have showed a great deal of interest in signing on to the development. He dropped a couple more names of merchants that have signed on to Lansdowne: two west-coast restaurant chains, Joey and LoCal, as well as South Street Burgers, Il Fornello and a store called Sporting Life. Empire Cinemas, LCBO and Whole Foods had previously confirmed their tenancy. The city will aim to bring the Grey Cup to the capital in four years, either in 2017 or 2018.

It’s only been a handful of months since I updated you on the progress on Lansdowne but I’m happy to say that I have more news on this very exciting project. At the time of writing, two reports related to the project were set to be considered at Council on Wednesday. The reports were prepared to provide a comprehensive update on all the legal requirements necessary to finalize the agreements with OSEG, and also provide an update on the construction schedule, costs and work to date. I’m so pleased to report that all the final legal conditions have been satisfied and we are now able to move forward with the construction and revitalization of Lansdowne. The new Lansdowne will be a magnificent citywide asset that will benefit and be enjoyed by all residents. As part of this report, the City is also announcing that Pomerleau was the successful proponent for the tender to build the stadium, parking garage and remaining site servicing, as well as provide overall site management. The City has obtained a fixed price contract for the stadium and a conditional guaranteed maximum price contract for the parking garage after extensive negotiations.

Algonquin supports three year degrees at colleges Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
EMC news - David Corson, president of the Algonquin College Students’ Association said three-year degree programs at Ontario’s colleges could help recent grads from getting kicked out of job competitions with the federal government. “We have advanced diploma programs, but the problem is there is no term for that at the federal level, so applicants get kicked out in the first round because the pool is automated to look for degrees,” he said.
Colleges Ontario released a report on Oct. 4 that shows many of the three-year-programs in the province’s 24 colleges already meet the standards for baccalaureate education. “Giving colleges the authority to offer three-year degrees will provide an important new option to students,” Linda Franklin, the president of Colleges Ontario said in a press release. In most of the world, a student completing the same program would graduate with a degree.” The report, entitled Empowering Ontario: Transform-
ing Higher Education in the 21st Century, says many students are interested in careerfocused programs at colleges but they want a degree. Corson said the standards in Ontario for post-secondary education are very high and allowing three-year degrees at colleges would in no way diminish the title. “It wouldn’t work for all programs, but there are a lot where it would make sense,” he said. The Algonquin faculty agrees with College Ontario’s findings. “We believe offering a degree to those who complete a
three-year program will make our students more competitive as they enter the job market,” Claude Brulé, vice-president at Algonquin, said. The college currently offers 26 advanced diploma programs. Brulé said staff is looking at which of those could be converted to three-year degree programs and which new programs could be offered as three-year degrees. He dismissed the notion that colleges are trying to be more like universities, saying the proposal gives students who learn better in an applied environment equal opportunities.

The litigation launched by the Friends of Lansdowne Inc. and the Lansdowne Conservancy, and the implementation of the rigorous design specifications approved by the LDRP and Council, has resulted in an 18-month delay and an inflationary pressure of $8.2 million. With that said, the fixed price contract mentioned above, changes made due to an engineering review of the designs, a guaranteed maximum price set for the parking garage as well as other steps have been taken to mitigate the City’s risk of increased costs due to construction overruns.
The urban park design remains within the previously approved capital budget. Thankfully despite delays due to litigation, current work at Lansdowne is on schedule. The east corner of the parking garage, which will be the foundation of the relocated Horticulture Building, will be complete in October 2012. The Horticulture Building is being prepared for its move 150 meters east, which will occur in November 2012. The Coliseum Building has been demolished, and site servicing work, including sewers, is proceeding and expected to be complete in November 2012. Construction of the stadium is still expected to be complete in time for the 2014 CFL season and the remainder of the redevelopment fully complete by the summer of 2015. We are now building a new Lansdowne that will connect Bank Street to the Rideau Canal, and link the Glebe and Old Ottawa South into a vibrant, urban community. Lansdowne will also be a model for best environmental practices as we work towards LEED Neighbourhood Development certification. Lansdowne will be one of only a few developments striving for this new certification in Canada. Further the new Lansdowne will have one of the most spectacular parks in Canada, something the people of the Glebe and Old Ottawa South will enjoy, as will residents and visitors from across the City. When we look back at the old Lansdowne, the largely unused and under-utilized park with a crumbling stadium surrounded by asphalt we all know so well, I know we’ll be so proud of our new usable, open and accessible urban space. For more information on the LPP, including construction updates and a virtual tour of the completed project, please visit www.ottawa.ca/lansdownepartnership. Questions or concerns about the construction can be sent to newlansdowne@ottawa. ca or call ServiceOttawa at 3-1-1.

Overall, staff is recommending a 5.8-per-cent increase to the Council-approved capital authority. Given the complexity of this project, the costs associated with the 18-month delay and the new information we now have as a result of moving from a pre-tender estimates to a fixed price contract, are within industry standards.

Make each battery count: know how to recycle Ontarians hoarding and throwing away single-use batteries EMC news - Ontarians are avid recyclers, but according to new research findings from Stewardship Ontario, proper disposal of batteries isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t top of mind for many households. In fact, more than a third of Ontarians (35 per cent) say they typically dispose of batteries by throwing them in the garbage or including them in their blue box, where batteries arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accepted. And even those who normally do the right thing occasionally toss out a battery, with 33 per cent admiting theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve thrown out a battery in the garbage in the past year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could be that you are hanging on to your batteries because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do with them, or simply putting them in the garbage with regular household waste
because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think only one battery matters,â&#x20AC;? said Paul Gerard, spokesman for Stewardship Ontario, the private not-for-profit company that runs the Orange Drop program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to change bad habits, encourage Ontarians to make battery recycling a positive habit and use our convenient collection network. Some batteries contain materials that are harmful to our environment if disposed of incorrectly, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility to ensure that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen.â&#x20AC;? WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STOPPING US?
Nearly half (47 per cent) of those who throw batteries in the household trash say they do not know where to bring them, while 39 per cent were unaware batteries should not
be thrown out. Interestingly, 23 per cent say they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use enough batteries for proper disposal to matter. Based on research, Stewardship Ontario has segmented the population in regard to their battery disposal habits: * The Unaware group is more likely to be under the age of 34. They buy few batteries and are essentially unaware of the proper recycling procedures. This segment is the most likely to throw their batteries into the regular garbage. * Members of Only If Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Easy (19 per cent of Ontarians) use an above-average number of batteries, and while they are generally aware of the proper procedures for disposal they do not always follow through due to a perceived lack of convenience.
* Where, Why and How Ontarians (15 per cent of the population) support household recycling but are unaware of the proper procedures for disposal of used batteries. Of those who throw their batteries into the regular trash, nearly all (95 per cent) said they would be somewhat likely to change their ways if it was easier for them to recycle. ARE YOU A HOARDER?
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that junk drawers across the province are also seeing their fair share of used batteries. The survey reveals that the average household has 15 used batteries that are earmarked for recycling but havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made it past the front door yet. Ontarians who correctly take their batteries for disposal are three times as likely to save up a number of batteries and dispose of them all at once, rather than dispose of their batteries as they are replaced.

BATTERY MYTHS BUSTED
Myth: Someone sorts out batteries and other potentially harmful wastes from my garbage. Fact: Garbage is not sorted - whatever is thrown out goes directly to landfills. The correct method is to collect and recycle primary batteries by dropping them off at a collection site. Myth: Once a battery dies, it has no other use. Fact: Used batteries still have life. Properly recycled batteries have valuable resources that can be recovered

not recycling, or that it should depend on circumstances, such as the type of material, the amount and the frequency of offenses. Households in Ontario on average have 12.6 products or appliances that need batteries. Given that there are 4.8 million households in Ontario, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than 60 million batteries that could be recycled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that batteries are powering all aspects of our lives,â&#x20AC;? said Gerard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ontarians can help turn a negative into a positive by ensuring they are recycling each of their single-use batteries.â&#x20AC;?

and used as new ingredients producing new goods. In fact, it is much more efficient to recycle a metal than mine it from the ground. At Stewardship Ontario, over 86 per cent of a single-primary use battery is recovered as new raw materials. Myth: Recycling batteries is not convenient. Fact: There are more than 2,000 battery collection sites established throughout Ontario, consisting of municipal depots, special collection events and a network of retail stores, libraries, community centres, schools and other easily accessible drop-off points for consumers. Visit Makethedrop.ca to find the nearest drop-off centre to you simply by entering your postal code. ABOUT THE RESEARCH
This survey was conducted by the Environics Research Group. The results are based on an online survey conducted with 1,000 adult Ontarians between Aug. 1 and 7. Because the sample is based on those who initially self-selected for participation in the online panel rather than a probability sample, no estimates of sampling error can be calculated.

Cyr Avenue legion to host district convention More than 150 legionnaires to come out to Vanier Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - The Vanier legion is getting ready to host its district’s three day convention this Oct. 19 to 21. There are nine districts in the Ontario command of the Royal Canadian Legion. The District “G” fall convention consists of 67 legions from Pembroke to Kingston to Cornwall and this year, the Eastview Branch 462 will host the convention at 294 Cyr Ave. The three-day event will welcome more than 150 members from across the eastern district to Vanier to participate in membership duties, vote on any bylaws or amendments brought up over the past two years and prepare and organize the year’s sporting teams and upcoming events. For Leo Beddard, the local arrangement committee chairman and the immediate past zone commander for district G-5, this convention is an opportunity to show off the branch’s motto. “We are the hospitality branch that cares,” he said.
“And we are very proud to host the convention.” Beddard is not new to organizing a convention; this will actually be the fifth convention to take place in Vanier since 2001. He said he knows this year the committee is working hard to make the convention to go smoothly, but he is ready for anything. “It doesn’t matter what you do, you can try to have no glitches, but always something can go wrong,” he said. Members from all the legions will be staying at the Chimo Hotel Ottawa and will be transported to and from the hotel and the meeting places in Vanier, which include the Pauline-Charron Centre and the legion. The event will also include a march of the colours and speeches from legion presidents, a parade around the Cyr Avenue legion’s block on Oct. 20 and a roast beef dinner on Sunday, Oct. 21. Legions must bid on conventions and Beddard said the Eastview branch bid to host this convention two years ago. The announcement and preparations for the event only began at the end of August. “It is a lot of work, but it is worth it,” he said. Beddard added the Lady’s Auxiliary will be cooking up a storm to feed the members throughout the weekend.

MY LIFE
MY MEDICINE is my hope
In 1997, shortly after the birth of my son Liam, I began to experience symptoms of what I would later find out to be Rheumatoid Arthritis. The pain and humiliation was excruciating, a wheelchair seemed to be my only option. I became ‘global participant #1” in a clinical trial for a new medicine that would eventually completely reverse my symptoms. Today I am walking, dancing, even hoola-hooping! My husband has his wife back, my kids have their mom back and I have my life back. My future is bright and pain free, and there’s not a wheelchair in sight. www.canadapharma.org/hope Canada’s Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies Making Canada Better R0011666522

Blake, a Beatrice Desloges Catholic high school graduate, who founded Do More Canada with friends, said the scale of events has been growing. Last year, the fundraiser brought in $2,000, with a goal of raising $2,500 to $3,000 more this year. To meet that goal, the group has worked with community sponsors to help bring down overhead costs, and hope donated rafďŹ&#x201A;e items will be able to bring in additional funds. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event will vary from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, themed Sounds for the Silent. It incorporated quotes from a refugee from Darfur that was interviewed and other refugees from organizations Do More Canada was in contact with.

Canada’s Sweetheart remembered in Ottawa Barbara Ann Scott King leaves lasting legacy in city, skate club Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
EMC news - Barbara Ann Scott King died on Sept. 30 at the age of 84, but her memory won’t fade from the city where she grew up. Canada’s sweetheart was a Sandy Hill native who trained at the Minto Skating Club and twirled on Dow’s Lake during Ottawa winters, and later achieved unmatched success. She is the only person to ever hold the European, North American, Canadian and World championship titles and the Olympic gold simultaneously. In the first Olympics after the Second World War in 1948, the then-teenager won the gold medal and quickly
“She was just like royalty, really, in figure skating.” DON JACKSON WORLD CHAMPION SKATER AND FORMER MINTO SKATING CLUB EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
solidified her name as a Canadian sporting icon. She trained at Minto Skating Club, representing the same club as many Ottawa championship skaters. Don Jackson skated with several of the same coaches as Scott King, and went on to become a world champion and Olympic bronze medalist before coaching and taking the executive director role at Minto. He said that even after she moved to Chicago, and eventually Florida, Ottawa was always home to Scott King. “She was always doing things for Minto when she could,” Jackson said.
He can recall Scott King accepting invitation after invitation for events, speeches, and teas with Minto skaters. Because of her notoriety, she had to bring along a staff member to help corral the fans who wanted autographs at the peak of her popularity. “She was just like royalty, really, in figure skating,” he said. “It was good that she came back because of the history of skating; it gets pretty fuzzy after a while … It kept her alive in the eyes of the young skaters coming up and gave them somebody to see that won a gold, that they were able to achieve it too.” Scott King began skating at six years old, passing her gold figures test at 10 – the youngest in the world. Jackson remembers her stellar basics in her figures test – which no longer exists – which required such accuracy that it could be lost with one wrong flick of the blade. And at 19, clean basics and long training hours in Ottawa carried Scott King all the way to the major titles that catapulted her to legendary status in sports history. She was made an officer of the Order of Canada and a member of the Order of Ontario; she was also inducted into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame, the Skate Canada Hall of Fame and the International Women’s Sports Hall of Fame. The Canadian Olympic Committee released a statement following her death, calling it a loss to the sporting community and all of Canada. “Ms. Scott’s grace and humility put her in a class of her own,” the statement said. “Her accomplishments will never be forgotten as she has paved the way for generations of figure skaters.” Jackson said Scott King continued to be a presence in the skating community and encouraged young skaters through the rollercoaster of competitive sport.

Scott King made the trip to Ottawa for the opening of the gallery with Mayor Jim Watson. “Just in her last few days of living, she came and donated all her medals to the city,” Jackson said. “It’s nice because in those days, the city was behind her.” At the opening, Scott King said the gallery is the perfect home for her collection. “I have always felt the collection belonged here in Ottawa … the city has always, always been so supportive,” she said “She certainly is going to be missed,” Jackson said. “But I think she certainly will be remembered because she is an icon.” With files from Laura Mueller

Affordable housing a growing but invisible problem: survey EMC news – A survey released by Habitat for Humanity Canada’s national leadership council shows that while 64 per cent of Canadians believe housing will be less affordable in the future, few feel affordable housing is a problem in their community. According to Brett Marchand, national leadership council chair, these results highlight the fact that although Canadians see the warning signs, few appreciate the extent of housing need across the country. “When housing costs are unmanageable, families are forced to make impossible choices to get by, such as whether they can afford to feed their children breakfast before school or keep the heat on at night,” said Marchand. “A lack of affordable housing also restricts low-income families’ ability to break the cycle of poverty, which increases the likelihood of long-term reliance on social services. Affordable housing is defined as a situation where housing costs – rent or mortgage payments and property taxes plus electricity, water, fuel and other municipal services – amount to less than 30 per cent of a household’s total before-tax income. The survey found that households in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario were most at risk of exceeding this limit – provinces where Habitat for Humanity expects to cumulatively build upwards of 180 homes this year. Across Canada, Habitat for Humanity Canada has achieved significant milestones this year. In addition to it shaping up to be a recordbreaking year when it comes to the number of affordable homes built nationwide, one of these projects was the organization’s first on First Nations settlement land. As part of a five-year goal, the organization is determined to build 1,800 homes by 2016; the same number it originally took 25 years to achieve. Among the survey’s other findings: • 35 per cent of Canadians bought fewer groceries due to sky-high housing costs, a figure that jumps to 46 percent in the Atlantic provinces. • More than one in four Canadians have put off paying bills in order to make rent. 84 per cent of Canadians believe that the government should do more to address the issue of affordable housing. “It’s important that Canadians understand that housing must stay affordable,” Marchand continued. “We can’t afford to believe that it’s someone else’s problem. The problem exists all around us, in every city and in every neighbourhood. Sometimes, it’s right next door.”

Councillors want to gamble on Ottawa casino Mayor backs downtown gambling house but still wants raceway casino to be considered Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - After repeatedly saying that he would prefer to see a new casino in the city’s core, Mayor Jim Watson backed a bid to ask the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission to consider a casino expansion at the Rideau-Carleton Raceway. On Oct. 2, the finance and economic development committee indicated it supports in principle the idea of looking at bringing a new casino to Ottawa. Full city council would also have to endorse the move on Oct. 10, after this newspaper’s deadline. While the mayor spent the week before the Oct. 2 meeting insisting he would prefer to see a casino downtown with access to transit, he backed a motion from Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson to ensure the Albion Road racetrack is automatically considered for expansion into a casino.
pose a compelling gaming model and program …to continue to serve Ottawa in a responsible manner,” Lawryk told the committee. OLG kicked off the debate in August by indicating it wants to “modernize” gambling in Ontario, including a plan to find private developers to build casinos in each of 29 zones across the province. OLG will be asking for proposals from potential casino developers early in 2013. The OLG hasn’t said what the revenue-sharing agreement would be for new casinos or how much Ottawa – or another eastern-Ontario municipality – could stand to gain from welcoming a casino.
The city receives about $4 million a year in revenue from the raceway slots, but the province is cancelling that program. DELEGATES OPPOSED
Despite the support of the mayor and all but one of the city councillors on the finance committee, almost all of the 32 members of the public who spoke to the committee on Oct. 2 said the push for a casino was too hasty and not based on any evidence of the potential benefits – or consequences – of a new casino in Ottawa. Adam Awad questioned why the committee would consider approving the idea of a casino before receiving any evidence for or against it. Watson said city council needs to decide whether it wants to head down that road before it charges staff with researching the impacts and benefits of a casino. Liam Mooney, spokesper-
son for a new casino-focused community group called A Better Bet, said the group is most concerned that the pro-

cess is being rushed. “This matters to people. You need to consider what people are saying,” Mooney said. “Take the time. Do not rush into this.” A couple delegates were in favour of pursuing a casino, including Noel Buckley of Ottawa Tourism. “Increasing the variety of attractions in the city… will help attract more visitors,” he said. COMMITTEE CRITIC
Longtime casino critic Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans was the only
without having the evidence,” she said, pointing out that all public delegates without a financial stake in the matter opposed an Ottawa casino. But Watson said the “horse is already out of the stable” on that argument, because gambling already exists in the capital, both at the slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway, and at Lac Leamy Casino across the river in Gatineau – not to mention lottery ticket sales and even church bingos, he said. Repatriating some casino revenue that currently goes to the Quebec government through Lac Leamy would boost gambling addiction treat-
ment in Ontario and add money to the city’s coffers to help pay for things like infrastructure renewal, Watson said. The mayor emphasized that the Oct. 10 decision would merely kick off the process, and there will be ample opportunity for public input and research as the process moves forward. “To say ‘no’ at this early stage is irresponsible,” Watson said. Watson and other councillors, including planning committee chairman Coun. Peter Hume downplayed the impact of agreeing in principle to investigate a casino. “We have already said within the bounds of the City of Ottawa that we’d accept gaming,” through slots and gaming tables at the raceway, Hume said. But Deans said it’s a slippery slope. “Once you support something, how do you back up?” she asked.

But the mayor couched his support of the raceway motion by saying it “sends a very clear signal that we’re not asking for preferential treatment, we’re asking for fairness.” Rideau-Carleton will celebrate its 50th birthday this fall and has been home to 1,275 slot machines for the past 12 years. It faces closure after OLG decided to cancel its slots at the racetrack program. Alex Lawryk, a representative for the raceway owners, said Rideau-Carleton intends to put in a bid to expand its facility into a casino. “We are also ready to pro-

Nepean-Barrhaven EMC - Thursday, October 11, 2012
EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Bells Corners businessman addressed a Parliamentary committee on Oct. 4 in the hopes of bringing what he views as a revolutionary energy storage device into the mainstream. Greg Tarasco, owner of Blueprint Energy, Inc. (a division of Flywheel Energy Systems, Inc.) wants to bring a mechanical battery to the commercial market for use in hybrid vehicles. The battery, which runs on the flywheelstored energy principle, reduces the cost and eliminates the maintenance needs and disposal fees of traditional lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries. Tarasco made his case to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities for a prompt-but-limited federal investment structure for startup companies with potentially profitable ideas. With private capital hard to come by, he envisions a faster way of bringing federal dollars to Canadian companies so that windows of commercial opportunities wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slam shut. He said the federal government needs to match the speed of industry, or risks getting left behind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Private capital is simply not doing the job,â&#x20AC;? Tarasco said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a timing misalignment between the commercial window of opportunity and (receiving federal funding)â&#x20AC;ŚPolicies that result in the deployment of capital in a timely manner would be favourable.â&#x20AC;? With so many companies around the world competing to have their latest innovation adopted into widespread use within a given industry, time is of the essence. The process to receive the government funding needed to bring a product onto the commercial market can take between six months and a year, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far too long in a fast-paced market. In Tarascoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, he wants to capitalize on the need for a high-capacity car battery that avoids the drawbacks of the chemical batteries currently used in hybrid vehicles. Those vehicles are powered at low speeds and aided in acceleration by a battery that draws its charge from the energy expelled during braking. A mechanical battery would capture that same energy in the form of a spinning flywheel enclosed within a metal case, which could then be released to accelerate the car. The science is already at
work in some high-end race cars, but has yet to enter the mainstream vehicle market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(These batteries) have a long life cycle of up to 20 years, with no efficiency fade and a high temperature tolerance,â&#x20AC;? said Tarasco. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no disposal cost, and no high-voltage exposure to mechanics or first responders at accident scenes.â&#x20AC;? Tarasco said the high cost of chemical batteries has deterred the adoption of hybrids by the buying public and fleet operators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chemical batteries are not the solution â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are, in fact, the problem,â&#x20AC;? he said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a solution now and we believe that flywheels are that solution.â&#x20AC;? GREG TARASCO OWNER OF BLUE ENERGY INC
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a solution now, and we believe flywheels are that solution.â&#x20AC;? Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, who serves as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, posed several questions to Tarasco. When asked if he was asking for a regulatory change, Tarasco replied by saying he wanted the policies surrounding federal investments to change to support emerging technologies, calling it â&#x20AC;&#x153;an investment culture that needs to be put in place.â&#x20AC;? A tax credit on private investment of this industry would also be beneficial, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are there any transportation regulations that need to be changed?â&#x20AC;? asked Poilievre. Tarasco said there are currently no regulations that apply specifically to mechanical batteries in vehicles, and stated essentially that one could be placed in a road-going car today. Trinity-Spadina MP Olivia Chow, the Opposition transport critic, asked Tarasco what a reasonable length of time for federal investment capital to start flowing might look like. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should tie into the industry norm of 30 to 90 daysâ&#x20AC;Śto determine if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a go/no-go project,â&#x20AC;? he replied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A program that can facilitate the fast-tracking of projectsâ&#x20AC;Ś would be favourable.â&#x20AC;?

For the third year in a row, 114 Salvation Army Thrift Stores will collect non-perishable food as part of the Open Your Hearts & Your Cupboards campaign now underway and which runs through Dec. 31. Collection bins will be positioned at Thrift Stores in urban and rural neighbourhoods and customers, community members and local businesses are invited to help fill them with nutritious and desperately needed food for deprived families such as canned meat and vegetables, pasta, cereal, peanut butter and baby formula. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once again we are appealing to our supporters to help make a positive impact on the issue of hunger across the country by donating to our food collection campaign,â&#x20AC;? said Tanisha Dunkley, national marketing manager of the Salvation Army national recycling operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now is the time of year when food banks experience high demand for food supplies and we want to help ensure that they will have enough to distribute to Cana-
dians that need assistance.â&#x20AC;? Food donations from customers and community members last year allowed Salvation Army Thrift Stores to fill 430 large collection bins, equal to 860 shopping carts full of food.

Expert roundtable looks at immigration Attracting and retaining skilled immigrants EMC news - In response to challenges with Canada’s current immigration system and federal cuts to Ontario’s settlement funding, the Ontario government established the expert roundtable on immigration. The expert roundtable was created to assess how immigration can best support Ontario’s economic development and help immigrants succeed. Its role was to provide advice to the government to inform the development of the first Ontario immigration strategy. In developing the report, the roundtable consulted with some of Canada’s leading economists, researchers, and senior officials from both the Governments of Ontario and Canada. Their 32 recommendations address issues include: IMMIGRANT SELECTION
1. Over the long-term, the level of immigration to Ontario should be increased to at least one per cent of its population, or 135,000 people per year. At least 65 to 70 per cent of these immigrants should be economic class immigrants. 2. Selection processes should be fair, transparent,
and facilitate diversity in the mix of immigrant source countries. 3. Economic immigrants should be selected based on criteria that emphasize human capital, rather than current occupation. 4. A revamped federal skilled worker program should continue to be the main source of economic immigration to Ontario. 5. The priority occupations list for the federal skilled worker program should be eliminated. 6. The governments of Canada and Ontario should work in partnership on the design and operation of the new expression of interest model. 7. The government of Ontario needs to engage employers and municipalities in identifying labour market needs and challenges. 8. Efforts should be made through the Canadian experience class program to retain individuals who have experience working and studying in Ontario. 9. Selecting economic immigrants based on occupational and other narrow criteria should be done only on a limited basis. 10. Ontario’s provincial nominee program should be
used to respond to specific occupational shortages and to the needs of communities, including francophone and rural communities. 11. The government of Canada should raise the cap on Ontario’s provincial nominee program from its current level of 1,000 to 5,000 people per year. 12. The federal skilled worker backlog reduction pilot should be extended to 2014 and expanded. 13. The federal temporary foreign worker program should focus on recruiting high-skilled workers and workers in the skilled trades and facilitating the rapid filling of temporary vacancies. 14. Ontario should make better use of the temporary foreign worker agreement to accomplish its objectives under recommendation no. 13. 15. Ontario needs more information about temporary foreign workers. 16. Protections for temporary foreign workers should be strengthened to prevent abuse and unsafe working conditions. 17. The issue of undocumented workers should be addressed by both the governments of Ontario and Canada. 18. The government of
Canada should maintain and strengthen the live-in caregiver program. 19. Ontario should attract and retain more international entrepreneurs. 20. The government of Ontario should develop a marketing and promotion strategy to attract immigrants with high levels of human capital to the province. SETTLEMENT AND INTEGRATION
21. A one-window, clientcentred, “no wrong door” approach should be developed for all government services important to immigrants. 22. Pre-arrival information and services should be expanded. 23. Programs that target immigrants’ networks to enable the effective integration of new immigrants —particularly family, friends, and faith groups— should be supported in Ontario. 24. Criteria for accessing settlement and integration programs should be coordinated across funders and service providers to ensure that temporary foreign workers, foreign students, refugee claimants, and new Canadian citizens can access these services. 25. Mentorship, intern-
ship, and bridge training programs should be expanded in Ontario. 26. Settlement and integration services should be measured and assessed based on immigrant outcomes. 27. Employers and communities need to be champions in the integration of immigrants. 28. Federal and Ontario government supports for refugees should reflect the need to provide longer-term services to many within this group. 29. The government of Canada should continue to honour its traditional commitment to refugee claimants, including continuing to fund the interim federal health program. FOREIGN QUALIFICATIONS
30. The Ontario government should continue to work with professional regulatory bodies to improve the assessment and recognition of immigrants’ qualifications, including academic credentials, practical training, and experience. 31. The government of Ontario should ensure that aggrieved applicants for licensure have appropriate recourse. 32. The federal and Ontar-
io governments should work together to ensure that the new federal credential and language assessment system is aligned with licensing bodies and not misconstrued as licensure. Didn’t get your

INTEGRITY UPDATE: TRANSPARENCY AND OPENNESS AT CITY HALL By Jim Watson
http://www.JimWatsonOttawa.ca
During the 2010 election, I committed to an integrity package â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a set of proposals that would bring a new level of transparency and openness to City Hall.
SUBMITTED
Woof nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Walk Coun. Keith Egli, centre, joins participants at the Woof nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Walk event in support of the 2012 World Rabies Day campaign on Sept. 30. To date, more than $100,000 has been raised towards rabies prevention projects in Guatemala, Cambodia, Nepal, Malawi and northern Canada.
Support the leaders of tomorrow by nominating a junior citizen EMC news - For many years, the prestigious Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards program has acknowledged the best of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth. You can help continue to recognize outstanding young people by nominating someone aged six to 17 years. The award recognized youth who are: â&#x20AC;˘ Involved in worthwhile
community service. â&#x20AC;˘ Contributing to the community while living with a disability. â&#x20AC;˘ Performed an act of heroism in the past year. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good kidsâ&#x20AC;? who show a commitment to making life better or do things not normally expected of someone their age. Twelve individuals will

Integrity Commissioner In August, we appointed an Integrity Commissioner, Robert -ARLEAU -R -ARLEAU HAS YEARS OF PARLIAMENTARY EXPERIENCE including 13 years spent as the Clerk of the House of Commons. He has also served as the interim Privacy Commissioner of Canada and as the Information Commissioner of Canada. The Integrity Commissionerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role is to act as a resource for Members of Council on integrity issues, as well as to make recommendations to City Council about accountability measures.

A lobbyist is an individual who is paid to represent a business OR lNANCIAL INTEREST !NY TIME THEY COMMUNICATE WITH A PUBLIC OFlCE HOLDER THEY MUST REGISTER THEIR COMMUNICATION WITHIN 15 days. In turn, citizens are be able to visit the City website at ottawa.ca/lobbyist TO SEE WHO THEIR ELECTED OFlCIALS ARE MEETING with and about which issues. 4HE REGISTRY IS THE lRST OF ITS KIND IN THE MUNICIPAL SECTOR IN #ANADA and stands on the principle that public policy should be made PUBLICLY 4HE ,OBBYIST 2EGISTRY CLEARLY DElNES LOBBYING ACTIVITIES and advocacy work. It also omits advocacy activities by not-forPROlT GROUPS LIKE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONS Next Steps I am proud of the progress we have made, but there is still more to do. Our new Integrity Commissioner will soon oversee the CREATION OF A CODE OF CONDUCT EXPENSE POLICY AND GIFTS REGISTRY FOR Members of Council. These will provide additional transparency, AND SET THE GROUND RULES FOR HOW WE EXPECT OUR ELECTED OFlCIALS to conduct themselves. At the City of Ottawa, we are setting a higher standard of transparency and openness because City Council is showing leadership on this issue. I am proud that we have delivered on our commitments, and I look forward to continuing to make progress ON THE INTEGRITY lLE

I am pleased to update you on the progress we have made.
Part of my day as Mayor and that of your City Councillor is meeting with various individuals who are legitimately seeking to change or implement a particular policy or by-law. Until recently, there WAS NO WAY FOR CITIZENS TO KNOW WHO #ITY OFlCIALS WERE MEETING with or on what topics. Our new Lobbyist Registry changes this.

3OME OF THE PROPOSALS WERE THINGS THAT EXIST IN OTHER MUNICIPALITIES or at the provincial or federal level. However, the difference was that there were no scandals or conďŹ&#x201A;icts driving these changes in Ottawa. The integrity package was about establishing a fundamental system of accountability where nothing before EXISTED ,EADERSHIP ON THESE ISSUES MEANS BEING PROACTIVE NOT reactive. Working together, we are establishing the checks and BALANCES THAT CITIZENS EXPECT OF THEIR ELECTED OFlCIALS

Give Workers the Freedom to Choose During the recent Quebec provincial election, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), representing Canada’s impartial public service, voiced their support for candidates running for the Québec solidaire and Part Québecois political parties. Both of these provincial parties seek to break up the country. When this came to my attention I immediately started a campaign to give unionized employees in federallyregulated workplaces the right to opt out of paying union dues. I cannot accept a union forcefully taking money out of the pockets of Canada’s public servants in order to support political parties whose avowed goal is Quebec separation. This is not in the best interests of anyone who works in the federal public service.
According to the Ottawa Sun, PSAC spent $1,694,900 million on political action in 2011. This money came entirely from the pockets of federal public servants whether they agreed with the cause or not. If our 186,000 unionized public servants had the option to choose if they pay dues to PSAC, the union would be forced to put members’ interests first, rather than further their own agenda. Section two of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects freedom of speech, but we are not forced to speak. The same section protects freedom of religion, but yet again we are not forced to be religious. When it comes to freedom of association however, some people are forced to associate. In Canada, employees in unionized workplaces are obliged to pay union dues even if they do not agree with the actions of the union.

The program consists of resident psychiatrists working along with police officers from the mobile crisis team.

Of those, only five resulted in an apprehension where the subject had to be taken to hospital for assessment. The mobile response team can also

deal with Mental Health Act apprehension orders immediately, saving countless hours of wait times at hospitals and allowing officers to return to regular patrol duties sooner. As well, the team doctors can issue prescriptions or follow-up appointments and provide other resources to assist people. “We are pleased with the results of the project so far,” said Staff Sgt. Dana Reynolds, who is in charge of the Ottawa police mobile crisis team. “Being able to respond to calls as they are actually happening has a dramatic impact on the outcome of these incidents. We hope to increase opportunities to use the mo-
bile team as the project progresses.” One example of a call the team has handled involved a call about a barricaded person. The subject involved appeared to suffer from a mental illness. The team arrived with a doctor who was familiar with the man and knew his medical history. Because of that knowledge, the doctor was able to talk the man out without incident. A typical barricaded person call can take hours to resolve. This call was dealt in about one hour. The mobile response pilot program will be in place for one year. R0011655298
For years, the constituents in my riding have raised this issue. One gentleman approached me recently to express his frustration with PSAC because they had given $5000 to support the students protesting in Montreal about tuition fees. These students were destructive and caused harm to the city, while their actions were completely unrelated to any federal workplace.

Fundraiser nets $30,000 for local charities Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
EMC news - Students at Frank Ryan Senior Catholic Elementary School smashed their fundraising goal at this year’s Turkey Trot of Hope. The annual fundraiser – held at the school on Oct. 4 – raises money for organizations like the Snowsuit Fund and Roger’s House. Principal John Pedari said the goal was $24,000 or $65 per student. “It’s a lofty goal, but I think we can meet it,” he said before the final numbers were announced. And meet it they did. Kevin McNamara, the school’s phys-ed teacher and co-ordinator of the annual fundraiser, said the students managed to raise $30,000. That will make for an interesting assembly later in the month when the students get to dress up their principal. “One of the incentives to hit the fundraising goal was that the students could dress me up anyway they wanted,” Pedari said, adding that other teachers agreed to do things like eating worms. This year marked the 32nd anniversary of the trot, bringing the total raised by the Nepean school to more than $700,000. Last year’s total was $28,250. Students walk or run around the school’s 450-metre track for an hour. The average student walks about 20 laps and collects pledges beforehand. On top of pledges from friends and family, some of the students went door-todoor in the community. The area superintendent for the Catholic board, Simone Oliver congratulated the students for their hard work. “I am here to thank you all on behalf of the board, the trustees and the larger community of the City of Ottawa,” she said. “Have fun, but also remember the incredible tradition that you are a part of. You’re the best looking turkeys I have ever seen.” Peradi added that some of the student’s parents likely participated in the Turkey Trot when they were students.

Miss Crosby prepares students for the world
M
iss Crosby was fair to a fault, yet she stood for no nonsense. Most of the boys in Senior Fourth at Northcote School were a couple heads taller than she was, but she had no trouble handing out discipline to any of them when the need arose. We all had a healthy fear of Miss Crosby, including Cecil and my brother Emerson, both of whom seemed to attract trouble like ants to a plate of honey. The strap that hung on the side of her desk from a cup hook was a constant reminder that if anyone stepped out of line, she would use it in a split second. When she did, the whack was enough to raise her off her feet. So needless to say, just looking at the black leather demon was enough to keep us on our best behaviour. Back then the teacher was right up there in importance with the family doctor or the member of Parliament and each was treated with the utmost respect. Miss Crosby was lucky to live in the community, not like some rural teachers who had
MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories to â&#x20AC;&#x153;room and boardâ&#x20AC;? at one of the local farms. She could walk to school. She also had the patience of a saint. Marguirite was enough to try anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patience, but Miss Crosby knew exactly how to handle the girl who was the bane of my existence. Marguirite never did anything bad enough to warrant the strap, but she aggravated the daylights out of me, mostly because she was the only one in her family and had the best of everything. She had a real leather school bag, for instance and a tin box for her lunch, items that were deemed luxuries at the time. About once a year, just about every family in the community would have the teacher over night on a weekend. That meant of course, that she would attend church with
the family on the Sunday and it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what church they attended, the teacher was expected to go with them. So Miss Crosby could be at a United church one week and at a Lutheran one the next. What a thrill it was to have the teacher over for the night. The house would have a cleaning from top to bottom, just like it got in the spring or fall. Floors upstairs and downstairs were scrubbed, the kitchen was spotless and bedclothes were all fresh off the line. There would also be plenty of food on the table. Of course, when it was our turn to host the teacher, she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be expected to walk the ďŹ ve-and-a-half kilometres my brothers and sister and I had to trudge to and from school. No, Father would take the buggy in the summer and
the cutter in the winter to fetch her to our old log house. That weekend, I felt so smug. I knew for a fact that Marguirite had asked Miss Crosby at least three or four times during the school year to go to her home for the weekend. But Miss Crosby wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dream of that. No, everything was fair and square with Miss Crosby. Marguirite would constantly bring a treat to school for the teacher. This time of year it would be an apple. Often Miss Crosby would have an apple every day from the little girl with the drug-storebought curls and I would watch to see what the teacher would do with it. I never saw her eat the apple, but it would be taken home with her and I liked to think she maybe threw it away when she got far enough away from the school, but more than likely it was put into a pie or apple crisp. I have no idea what Miss Crosby did with the boxes of hankies, the cheap tin cans of talcum powder and the countless bars of soap she got at Christmas time, but I do
â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was way to easy!â&#x20AC;?
remember getting a little note of thanks every year. She would make sure the notes were all written at the same time, on our desks waiting for us. The notes were never mailed. After all, it cost three cents for a postage stamp back then. She never seemed to have a big wardrobe. In the winter, it was a simple black wool dress and in the summer a printed silk. She had a variety of crocheted collars that she attached to her outďŹ t to bring variety to what she wore and she wore black laced shoes with thick rubber on the heels. My brother Emerson said the heels were like that so that she could creep up on you without being heard. Miss Crosby loved the king and queen and she loved the Bible. Every morning she read a scripture lesson and we all recited the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prayer in unison. We were supposed to sit ramrod straight in our seats with our heads bowed and our hands forming steeples. Heaven help us if we were caught with our eyes open. Then we had to stand at
attention by our seats and Miss Crosby blew on a little tin piece that gave us all the musical note to start on and with our right hand over our hearts, we belted out God Save the King. Even those who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t carry a note in a slop-pail were expected to sing. Of course Marguirite sang so loudly Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure she could be heard in Admaston. Miss Crosby was high on manners. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter who came to the door at Northcote School, we were expected to get out of our seats, noiselessly of course and stand at attention until told to sit down. If it was the inspector, Miss Crosby would introduce him and we had to say, again in unison, â&#x20AC;&#x153;good morningâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;good afternoonâ&#x20AC;? and repeat the inspectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. When Mother said Miss Crosby was a saint, I believed her. Her salary was only a few hundred dollars a year and Mother said she earned every cent of it. When you left the Northcote School, having graduated from the entrance class, you were ready for whatever road lay ahead. Miss Crosby saw to that.

Secret to making the ultimate peach cake
S
everal years ago, I featured a recipe in my column for a cake made with peach pie
filling. In less than a week, supermarkets and grocery stores from Brockville to Ottawa were completely sold out of peach pie filling. As a result of it being so hard to find, I developed a recipe for a quick, homemade peach pie filling to use in the cake. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as convenient as the canned version, but it has more peaches and less sugar. ULTIMATE PEACH CAKE
â&#x20AC;˘ 1 white cake mix â&#x20AC;˘ 1 can (540 ml) peach pie filling or use the recipe below â&#x20AC;˘ 4 eggs, beaten â&#x20AC;˘ 1 1/4 tsp. almond extract â&#x20AC;˘ 1 tbsp. amaretto liqueur Ignore the directions on the cake mix package. The batter does not need any other liquids. Butter and lightly flour either a Bundt pan or a 23-by33-centimetre cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cake mix, pie filling, eggs, flavouring and liqueur if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using it. Use a spoon, not an electric mixer, to mix the batter.
PAT TREW Food â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Stuff Stir until thoroughly combined, about two minutes. If the peaches in the pie filling are in large slices, break them into smaller pieces with the spoon. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan, and bake at 325 F (160 C) for about 35 minutes. Check with a toothpick to make sure the cake is done. If not, bake for another five minutes and test again. When the cake is done, remove it from the oven, and let it cool for five minutes. If you used a Bundt pan, turn the cake out on a rack. If you used a 23-by-33-centimetre pan, leave the cake in the pan. Cool completely before serving. This cake is very moist and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need icing. If you want to serve it with something else, a dollop of whipped cream is nice. PEACH FILLING
â&#x20AC;˘ 398 mL can of peaches, either
slices or halves, in their own juice â&#x20AC;˘ water (see directions below for the amount) â&#x20AC;˘ 1/4 cup flour If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find canned peach pie filling, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how to make a homemade version. Drain the canned peaches, reserving the juice in a measuring cup. Add enough water to make one cup of liquid. Combine the liquid with the flour in a small plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Cover, hold the lid firmly and shake well. Pour this into a small saucepan. Cook the mixture, over medium heat, for three to five minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a sauce. Cool completely. While the sauce cools, cut the peaches into pieces about the size of a walnut. When the sauce is cool, stir in the peaches. Use this mixture, instead of the canned pie filling, in the cake recipe.

Knight leads charge on creative teaching Public school board showcases local initiatives Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
EMC news - Good teachers can weave magic. That was the lesson Sir John Jones left with a group of parents and educators after speaking as part of the public school board’s Lead the Way series at LongfieldsDavidson Heights Secondary School (LDHSS) on Oct. 3. Jones, who has taught in several schools in northwestern England, said one student asked him once why he needed a teacher if he had Google. “I told him that it was a good question. Then I was quiet,” Jones said. “Then another student spoke up and said, ‘Google can teach you history, but it can’t teach you to love history.’ It’s our job to teach a love of learning.” But the learning environment is changing. “Eighty per cent of children in elementary school will be working at jobs that don’t presently exist,” Jones said. Students of today don’t remember a world without messenger, without Facebook, without iPhones and yet, 60 per cent of the writing done is classrooms is copying with a pen and paper. Jones said if you’re job can be done by someone in Asia for cheaper you need to change what you’re doing. If it can be automated, or done by a computer you need to change what you’re doing. If it’s something a lot of people can do, you need to stop what you’re doing. To be able compete with an international workforce our children need to be problem solvers and creative thinkers. ‘There are more children in India with degrees than there are children in America,” Jones said, adding China is now the largest English-speaking country in the world. “Our children will be competing for jobs with them,” he said. “They need to be innovative and have new ideas.” To foster these attitudes, teachers need to be flexible.

Emily Plantinga, a Grade 11 student at Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School, showcases the work she did last year to spruce up the kindergarten playground at Adrienne Clarkson Elementary School. The initiative is one the many that were showcased during the Lead the Way series hosted by the city’s public school board. The system was designed to foster left brain activities like reading and writing and tends to discount the less analytical subjects like the performing arts and design and technology. “In a lot of cases it’s these types of courses that prepare us for life,” Jones said. Jones’ talk was entitled Engaged Parents, Happy Students and was part of a larger showcase offered by the board’s parental involvement committee that provided information about school clubs across the city that teach students in new and innovative ways. BACK TO KINDERGARTEN
As part of a watercolour unit in their Grade 10 art class last year, LDHSS students repainted the kindergarten play
yard at Adrienne Clarkson Elementary School. Emily Plantinga, now in Grade 11, participated in the project. “It was really neat because I went to school there (Adrienne Clarkson),” she said. “We went to meet with the kindergarten students and got input about what they wanted to see in their play yard.” Some of the requests included things like a smaller hopscotch grid and more colour. The students made up a watercolour model and then spent a morning last spring painting on the asphalt. “There was a drizzle right after we finished so the teachers had to spend an hour sopping up the water,” Plantinga said. “So students in the Grade 10 class may go back and do touch up.”
Despite their weather woes it was a great project, Plantinga said, adding that it was the first time she had really done art work with “client” input. LESLIE PARK
Leslie Park Public School students are learning to pay it forward in their 20-member Kindness Club. The club, which includes a large membership from the small, 120-pupil school, teaches students about having a social conscience and being contributing members of the community. Through used clothing and toy sales, bake sales and other fundraisers the kids contribute money to local charities like CHEO and Christie Lake Kids. The members also hand out “kindness slips” to reward
random acts of kindness and encourage their classmates to pay it forward with pins that they pass on. Teacher Anne Lavoie said it’s increasingly the job of the school to go beyond teaching reading, writing and arithmetic. “We also want to teach character education and show our students how they can help out in the community,” she said. Other programs that were showcased were the LDHSS culinary arts program, which provided food for the event and the LINK leadership club from John McCrae Secondary School. “We are all here for the same reason. To figure out how to connect with the kids,” said director of education for the board, Jennifer Adams.

Merrickville Jazz Fest makes sweet music from Oct. 11 to 14 Ashley Kulp akulp@perfprint.ca
EMC Entertainment – Several heritage venues, restaurants and the community centre will transform Merrickville into a hot spot for music Oct. 11 to 14 as the annual Merrickville Jazz Fest gets set to take over the village. This is the second year for the event, which has grown considerably over last year’s inaugural festival. Nine venues were featured in 2011 and that has doubled to 19. “Last year, we weren’t thinking that it would be a tradition, we just wanted to have a music festival in Merrickville and it was quite successful,” noted one of the Merrickville Jazz Fest organizers, Peggy Holloway. “We did have people asking throughout the year if we were going to do it again, so we are.” “We were really pleased last year. There was some really great local support as well and people bought weekend passes and came to every event last year. We hope to see that happen again,” she added. “It was really that amazing local support that made us want to have it again.” The concept for Merrickville Jazz Fest came out of the fact that the village didn’t have a music festival. “It’s a good time of the year to have it as well since all other things in town are over until Christmas in Merrickville and very often we still have nice weather. We wanted to bring people into town and it worked,” Holloway remarked. The festival truly involves the entire community and offers visitors an
opportunity to experience good jazz music in a variety of different settings; whether it’s taking in a smoky trio while having an intimate dinner at a local restaurant or enjoying the acoustics in one of the village’s churches. “The neat thing for me about the festival, is that it supports merchants, brings music to people and opens up the churches to the community,” Holloway said, noting that all the restaurants in the village are participating this year and the Village of Merrickville-Wolford has donated the use of the Merrickville

Community Centre. Select restaurants may also be offering specials to visitors throughout the weekend. Organizers added an extra day to the festival this year and it gets underway Thursday evening with two special performances: the Swing Bridge Combo at 7 p.m., followed by Mary Moore and Take Trois at 8:30 p.m. Both acts will perform at the Merrickville Community Centre and to celebrate the opening of the festival, visitors can enjoy two performances for the price of one that
night. Holloway said the lineup is solid with many acts performing having appeared at the Ottawa Jazz Festival, but there a few about which she is particularly excited. Standing Room Only will take over the Baldachin Inn ballroom Oct. 13 at 8 p.m. The popular jazz dance band often hosts tea dances in Almonte. Local jazz pianist Brian Browne will fill Merrickville United Church with sweet sounds Oct. 14 at 3:30 p.m.; and the Miguel de Armas Trio will also play the church Oct. 13 at 3:30 p.m. de Armas is a Cuban pianist who immigrated to Canada last year and regularly plays the Mercury Lounge in Ottawa. “They are hot. They will put on a good show,” Holloway commented. Also on Oct. 14, the well-known Neil Sealy Quartet performs at Holy Trinity Anglican Church at 1 p.m. The evening before, on Oct. 12, Sealy will also join the New Orleans Days Jazz Band at the Goose & Gridiron. “We also have two fabulous female singers from Ottawa coming to the festival. Both are playing with top notch accompanists,” Holloway remarked. “Karen Oxorn will play Holy Trinity Anglican Church on Sunday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. Dominique Forest will play Elements Bistro on Friday evening.” Ottawa-area guitarist Steve Bilodeau and his jazz trio are also on the schedule to play the Baldachin Inn’s dining room on Oct. 12 at 6 p.m. “He’s a lovely guitar player. He called us last year but we were full, so he’s on the schedule this year,”
Pet Adoptions OLIVE
TAQUILLA
ID# A146710
ID # A148338
Olive is an 11-month-old female, black and brown Doberman Pinscher and Plott Hound mix. She was brought to the shelter as a stray on August 1, 2012 and is hoping to find a forever home soon – maybe now during Adopt-aShelter-Dog Month! Olive is friendly and polite with other dogs and she has lots of puppy energy. She’ll need regular exercise daily to stay on her best behaviour. She’s best suited to a home with adults and teens and it’s strongly urged that she have a crate when she’s alone in the home. Olive’s owner should be assertive and help her learn proper behaviour and training.
Holloway stated. “Fun With Books has been providing books written by local authors and illustrators and it seemed like something that would support children,” she continued. “It’s heavily supported by local people such as Bernie Boesveld from Burritts Rapids and so do teachers in the area.”

PET OF THE WEEK
Meet Taquilla, a one-year-old tan and white German Shepherd and Retriever mix. Taquilla was surrendered to the shelter by her owner on September 28, 2012. This pretty girl loves to play outside and has been known to chase squirrels and cats, so she needs to be in a home with no cats. She needs plenty of socialization and exposure to new places and situations. She gets along well with children 12 years and older who can help her overcome some of her shy tendencies. She comes out of her shell when she has another canine friend for companionship! Her new home should have a yard since she is used to having access to the outdoors.

Some dogs, cats, rabbits and rodents like to nibble on cords, which can result in serious burns and can cause a fire. Keep certain appliances, such as irons and hair dryers, out of pets’ reach. These appliances can produce enough heat that, if knocked over by a pet, they could start a fire. Install a barrier in front of fireplaces, campfires, barbecues and portable heaters. It is a myth that pets are afraid of fire - in fact, many pets like to lay close to a source of heat
to stay warm. Lying too close to a fire could result in your pet’s fur catching fire; and it is possible for most pets to knock over a portable heater or a barbecue. Always ensure your pets cannot get near these items. If your pet does get burned, put cool water on the burned area quickly, followed by a cold compress, and get veterinary assistance immediately.

And what better time to “fire proof” your pets to help prevent a disaster from happening in your home. Never leave a burning candle unsupervised! Even leaving the room for a minute is enough time for a curious cat or a tailwagging dog to knock over a candle.
