Property Owners Coalition hopes to lay waste to current council emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - A handful of candidates across the city of Ottawa are promising to scrap the green bin program, bring back weekly garbage pickup, give hydro dividends back to customers and stop the spread of bio-solids on local farmlands.

The Ottawa Property Owners Coalition is the brainchild

of Osgoode Ward candidate Mark Scharfe, a farmer and retired Ottawa police officer who wants to overturn the current council – and most of its decisions.

But one candidate is not enough. “Even if I’m fortunate enough to get elected, if I bring a motion to this council and they haven’t changed much, I’ll just get outvoted,�

Scharfe said.

“So we have to get at least half of them out of there.�

Scharfe said he has found 13 candidates across 23 wards who agreed to bring back “basic municipal services� like weekly garbage pickup.

Along with his son Brandon Scharfe running in Alta Vista and his nephew Roger Scharfe in Gloucester-South Nepean, Scharfe said coalition candidates include Jennifer Robitaille (Orleans), Ian Bursey (Barrhaven), James Parsons (West Carleton-March), David Lee (Stittsville), Guy Annable (College), Mohamed Roble (Gloucester-Southgate), Rene Tessier (Beacon Hill-Cyrville), David-George Oldham (Rideau Vanier), Michael Kostiuk (River), Marc Belisle (Cumberland) and Bruce Faulkner (Kanata South).

If most of them get elected, Scharfe said that would be enough to make big changes at city hall.

MP helps kids get a fair shot to participate in sports emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Soccer practice, swimming lessons, baseball games: activities many kids don’t question; activities they rely on to thrive and grow.

But not every child gets a chance to participate in sports, particularly orphaned or abandoned kids in the care of the Children’s Aid Society.

That’s a problem NepeanCarleton MP Pierre Poilievre aims to address with his new fundraising initiative Fair Shot.

He launched the project at a

community barbecue in North Gower on Sept. 13, raising more than $8,000 to cover sports registration fees for children who can’t otherwise afford to play. The money came mostly from corporate sponsors, and went directly to the Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa to support families caring for orphaned and abandoned kids, Poilievre said.

Children’s Aid Society adoption worker Lena Hillock said kin families – relatives, friends or community members who have a connection to the child – often face significant financial barriers when

they take in a child or multiple children.

“If they’re taking in these children they’re probably doing this from the goodness of their heart and they’re saying, ‘We’ll figure it out.’ The most important thing is this kid knows he’s loved and cared for and his needs are being met,” Hillock said.

“But those little extra things will kind of be put aside, because if you think of the cost of hockey registration for example, you’re looking at $500 for registration plus the equipment costs and fees. Even simple swimming lessons are

Polievre said he hopes the Fair Shot project will be a long-term, consistent source

of money for the Children’s Aid Society, although he said he has to think about how he’ll fundraise next.

“I think we’ve exhausted some of our corporate generosity, so we have to get creative,” he said.

Donations came from Scotiabank, Enbridge, RideauCarleton Entertainment Centre, Ross’ Independent Grocer and some individual contributions from attendees, according to Poilievre’s office.

At the Ottawa agency, there are currently 100 kin families that are caring for anywhere between one to six children through kinship, legal custody or adoption, Hillock said.

“We will look at each of the requests, and we are usually privy to the financial need of the families,” she said, adding the agency plans to start doling out the new funds very soon. “We’ll just make sure those monies go to the families that really need it, where otherwise the child wouldn’t be able to participate in that sport.”Foundation director Walter Noble said the money could help between 20 and 25 children access sports programs in the region.

He said Poilievre’s program has already expanded the foundation’s “cookie jar” fund by 20 per cent.

Candidates work hard to stand out at Osgoode debate Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - More candidates and even more residents came out to the second Osgoode ward all-candidates debate at the Stuart Holmes arena on Oct. 1.

Hosted by the Osgoode Village Community Association and moderated by Trinity Bible Church pastor Shawn Ketcheson, more than 260 people showed up to watch all 11 candidates answer crowdsupplied questions from the “ask-it basket.�

The questions ranged in content and quality. Some candidates were lucky to choose queries that dovetailed perfectly with their campaign.

Paul St. Jean, for example, was asked why rural residents aren’t part of Hydro Ottawa – the main plank in his platform. “That’s what I want to know,� St. Jean said. “Hydro Ottawa has handed over $140.6 million (to city hall) ... and I have no idea why they

can’t part with some of that money to bring us over. I want to get in there and push and ask all the questions, like why is this taking so long.�

George Wright was asked about allowing backyard chickens, a perfect question for the farmer who has 100 hens on his property and is a member of the Practical Farmers of Ontario lobby group.

He said he supports the idea of backyard hens, at least until the egg industry starts meeting demand for eggs from freerange chickens. “People are begging me for pastured eggs,� Wright said. “If the industry were to step up ... if they produced a pastured egg, we wouldn’t have this problem. People want a good egg. They know there’s a difference between an egg raised indoors and an egg raised outdoors.�

George Darouze also had a concrete answer handy when a question dealt with reducing wait times for long-term care facilities in the area. “We do have some city

Still other questions tackled city-wide issues. Jean Johnston-McKitterick was asked if she supports safe injection sites – she doesn’t – and Allen Scantland had to make a quick decision about banning pet shops from selling puppy mill animals – he does.

As expected, a number of questions dealt with the city’s

land that is set aside here in Osgoode, and hopefully if I am elected hopefully we can have more senior homes and seniors residences (there),� he said.

Other questions put candidates on the spot.

Kim Sheldrick was asked to give speciďŹ cs about the number of staff cuts she would make, and from which departments – forcing her to give a diplomatic answer without the numbers in front of her. “I would say some from

ďŹ scal management.

Mark Scharfe and Liam Maguire were both vocal about bringing the city’s expenses under control and focusing on core services.

Bob Masaro spoke out against wasted money. “Stop with the ... consultants we’re paying exorbitant wages for when we already have people (working for the city) who are supposed to be doing the job,� Masaro said.

While some took the stance that Osgoode’s next council-

lor must be ready to ďŹ ght for rural rights, others were more conciliatory. “We’re going to see some change, we’re going to see some opportunity,â€? said Davis Jermacans. “One that excites me the most is bridging the urban/rural divide.â€?

He said Osgoode’s councillor must be willing to work with urban councillors on their issues, so that in turn those councillors will support Osgoode’s needs as well.

Tom Dawson said urban and rural residents have many common concerns, and working together can ďŹ nd solutions to all of them. “I don’t view it as an urban/rural divide, they’re just differences and we can work within those differences,â€? he said. “These are matters where you look at everything on a case by case basis and see what tools are most appropriate for that job.â€?

A third all-candidates debate will be held Oct. 8 at the Greely Community Centre beginning at 7 p.m. Election day is Oct. 27.

Coalition group targets green bin, garbage, bio-solids Continued from the Front

“If we can get 11 or 12 to support this platform, then we can get it through. It’s no more complicated than that,” he said.

West Carleton-March candidate James Parsons said he was “on board from the getgo.”

He said he agreed with Scharfe on most policy points, and especially believed in his

election strategy.

“There’s been much made about Mr. O’Brien, or even Mr. Harper, in that they brought forth a platform telling the people ‘This is what we are probably able to accomplish if enough of us get elected in, because we have voting power,’” Parsons said.

River Ward candidate Michael Kostiuk said he was also happy to join Scharfe’s

team.

“I’m running on a governance issue: improving the governance at the city of Ottawa,” he said. “To try to do things individually it’s difficult, particularly if you’re a newcomer. Unless you get together your voice is small.”

The platform centres on the “dangerous and ineffective” Orgaworld green bin program, which Scharfe says

“took advantage” of Ottawa taxpayers.

“I read the contract myself, and I can tell you unequivocally that I don’t know a farmer or a businessman in the city of Ottawa who would ever sign something like that,” he said.

In July, a report from city auditor general Ken Hughes found that the city has already overspent $8 million on the Orgaworld contract.

The city pays at least $7 million a year to Orgaworld to process 80,000 tonnes of organic waste.

It’s a threshold the city has barely been able to reach in the seven years since the contract was negotiated, leaving the city to pay to process some waste twice.

The city has paid $4.7 million extra for unutilized capacity since the start of the contract, plus $3 million extra since the start of the contract to separately process leaf and yard waste, Hughes said.

But cancelling the contract is no easy feat either: city manager Kent Kirkpatrick said cancelling would cost between $8 million and $10 million – and Orgaworld would likely argue it’s higher.

The property owners group also wants to bring back weekly garbage pickup – an essential municipal service, Scharfe says – and also giving Hydro Ottawa’s annual dividends back to its customers instead of city hall.

Scharfe is also passionate about stopping the spread of bio-solids – treated human sewage – on farmers’ fields, something he considers a public safety issue.

Osgoode candidate Mark Scharfe has gathered 13 other candidates to support his platform calling for the end of Orgaworld.

Doug Thompson, who has spent 31 years in municipal politics, said he doubts the coalition will sweep council as Scharfe hopes.

“You can go out and find in every ward someone who would say, ‘Yes, I’m going to join; if we’re elected we’ll work at getting rid of Orgaworld and the green bin,” Thompson said.

“But the reality is that you’re one vote. Maybe one of them ever has a chance of sitting around the table.”

He said being what he calls a “no group” doesn’t tend to go far.

“The general public might not like the green bin program as much as we thought, but I think people are more sensible than saying just cancel everything,” he said.

“There is a cost to everything.”

Scharfe said he believes the group represents the interests of all Ottawa homeowners.

“We want to be sure the community knows we’re not a renegade group of left- or right-wingers,” he said.

We’re just standing up for what we feel are the basic municipal services that should be provided to property owners.”

News - Whether your inspiration comes from Tom Selleck, Charlie Chaplin or Hulk Hogan, get ready to flash your ’stache this fall in support of local prostate cancer care.

The eastern Ontario prostate cancer awareness committee has launched its third annual Dare to Flash a ’Stache campaign.

It raises money for prostate cancer programs at the Winchester District Memorial Hospital Foundation and the Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

Similar to the infamous “Movember” fundraiser, Dare to Flash a ’Stache asks participants to shave clean on Oct. 31 before spending the month of November creating their best facial coif.

a legendary beard, can choose instead to give their chops the chop at the campaign’s wrapup event on Nov. 29.

The committee hopes to raise $65,000 this year, which will be split between the Winchester hospital’s new cancer navigation program and the Ottawa Hospital’s prostate cancer research project led by Dr. Anthony Bella – the first of its kind in Canada. Bella’s research is looking for novel ways to prevent and repair nerve damage caused by prostate cancer treatments.

In Winchester, this is the second year the committee is supporting the navigation program, which hired its first coordinator this summer, longtime nurse Linda Johnson.

The program helps patients diagnosed with cancer find the resources they need.

“When people are identified with cancer, they’re left in a cloud,” said committee cochairman Tom Clapp, a prostate cancer survivor.

“They don’t know who to talk to, where to go. So here, when someone’s diagnosed they’ve got a contact person to help them down that road.”

Flash your ’stache for prostate cancer MOUSTACHE MONEY

The campaign website, flashastache.ca, is up and ready for individuals, companies and organizations to sign up and start raising funds.

The wind-up event will begin on Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. at the Joel Steele Community Centre above the Winchester arena.

Guests can cheer for their home towns at a South Dundas vs. North Dundas ladies hockey game, followed by two short games between Morrisburg Lions alumni and Winchester Hawks alumni.

Following the hockey games, there will be a moustache judging competition and recognition for the top individual, team and fire station fundraisers.

“People are doing it for fun, and we just want to get as much awareness as possible,” Clapp said. Along with organizing the annual moustache campaign, the committee hopes to promote its monthly prostate cancer support group, which meets in Mountain.

Public Meetings on Boundary Revisions and Elementary Alternative Program Boundary Expansion The public is invited to attend one of four joint meetings to be held across the District to seek input on minor attendance boundary revisions and the expansion of the Elementary Alternative Program boundaries.

Minor Attendance Boundary Revisions In an effort to ensure school boundaries are consistent with new development areas, improve access to programming, provide better utilization of existing instructional space and address inconsistencies in neighbourhood alignments, staff is proposing a number of minor boundary adjustments to provide for effective accommodation of students in different parts of the District.

Areas/Programs/Boundaries potentially impacted include the following: E Mer Bleue Expansion area (Orleans) E Cardinal Creek New development area (Orleans) E Central Park MFI 4-8 boundary revision E Valley Stream Secondary 9-12 boundary revision E West Carleton MFI 4-8 boundary revision E Riverside South New development areas (south of Armstrong Rd. and east of Limebank Rd.) E J.H. Putman/Broadview 7-8 EFI boundary revision (Carlingwood area only) Detailed information regarding these proposed revisions can be found at: http://goo.gl/8TcJvB Elementary Alternative Program Boundary Expansion Following a market demand survey in 2013, staff was directed to consult with the public regarding a plan to expand the elementary alternative program boundary, commencing in September 2015. The expansion would include areas not currently served by the program and include all suburban areas and rural areas outside of the Greenbelt.

Potential expansion areas include the following: E West – Kanata, Stittsville, Richmond, Munster and all rural west communities E South – Barrhaven, south Nepean, Riverside South, Manotick, & all rural south communities E East – Orleans, Blackburn Hamlet & all rural east communities Details about this review can be found at: http://goo.gl/AW6qsC

JAIL BREAK

Breaking the chains of recidivism Local community rehabilitative programs and services pick up the slack for federal government

results, excessive use of incarceration has enormous cost implications.”

If mandatory minimums have no affect on recidivism, the federal government must find a way to justify these by evaluating their affects on crime, said Irwin Waller, a professor of criminology at the University of Ottawa.

“We actually know that it doesn’t from studies in other countries, which really means the U.S.,” he said.

Yasir Naqvi, Ontario minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, said the provincial government’s focus is crime prevention.

“The federal government seems to have a different focus than that,” Naqvi said. “We have raised those concerns with the federal government. We believe that they should offset the cost of measures like mandatory minimum sentencing … because that is going to have a detrimental impact not only on the provinces, but also on the society at large as well.”

Federal Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney did not respond to numerous requests for comment by Metroland East.

Metroland East Special Report

A

staggering number of Ontario convicts – more than half - will go on to reoffend within two years of completing their sentence.

With lack of supports, employment and rehabilitation opportunities, exxperts say many offenders fall through the cracks and are sent back behind bars.

The government is failing on the public safety file, according to Wayne Easter, the Liberal public safety critic.

In Canada the rate of recidivism is estimated at 44 per cent, according to a study prepared for the Solictor General of Canada on federal offenders released between April 1, 1994 to March 31, 1995.

In comparison, the national rate of recidivism across the United States, a country known for its high rate of incarceration, is 43 per cent.

“They have been working on this issue (of recidivism) through the Justice Centre (in the United States) and they are going in the opposite direction from the Harper government because they know the tough-on-crime approach doesn’t work,” Easter said.

With the introduction of mandatory minimums and stiffer sentencing, prisons across Canada are bracing themselves for an influx of inmates.

During the past decade, federal prisons have seen a population increase of 24 per cent, moving from 12,413 inmates in 2003 to 15,400 inmates in 2014.

Meanwhile, the number of prisoners incarcerated in provincial and territorial jails saw a 13.1 per cent jump over the same time period.

But that doesn’t mean crime is up, according to a 2014 report by Statistics Canada.

The traditional crime rate fell by eight per cent, continuing a trend that started in the early 1990s and this year reached its lowest level since 1969, according to the StatCan report.

Critics tie the increase in the num-

Prison time has a negative affect on reducing criminal behaviour according to a review of 50 studies between 1958 and 1999 by a team of academics from the University of New Brunswick and the University of Cincinnati. Excessive use of incarceration also has ‘enormous cost implications’ warns the study.

Part 4: A prescription to reduce the number of repeat offenders in Canada’s jails as well as the rate of incarceration. ber of incarcerated offenders to the federal government’s tough-on-crime legislation, which introduced stiffer sentencing rules and mandatory minimums.

“The principle rationale for mandatory minimums is the belief that length of time in prison acts as a deterrent for future recidivism,” states a 1999 report

by Paul Gendreau and Claire Goggin, with the Centre for Criminal Justice Studies at the University of New Brunswick and Francis Cullen, from

Manotick News - Thursday, October 9, 2014

the department of criminal justice at the University of Cincinnati.

But a review of 50 studies dating back to 1958 showed that jail time resulted in a slight increase in the rate of criminal reoffence and that there was a tendency for low-risk offenders to be “more negatively affected” by serving time in prison.

“Prisons should not be used, with the expectation of reducing criminal behaviour,” concluded the report’s authors. “On the basis of the present

Expenditures at federal jails have ballooned from $1.58 billion to $2.72 billion from 2002 to 2012 and the cost of incarceration has gone up by 47.8 per cent in that time, according to a 2013 report by Public Safety Canada.

Last year, the federal government asked Correctional Service Canada to cut 10 per cent of its operating budget.

“So they began to look at ways that they could maintain their core operations but still save money,” said Howard Sapers, the federal prisons’ ombudsman. “What that’s translated into is the erosion of some services for offenders and the cancellation of some programs.”

Over the years, the correctional department has eliminated prison farms, reduced access to prison libraries and cut funding to buy library materials.

Overcrowding in Canadian jails means less space for programming, and double bunking is now the norm, Easter said.

REHABILITATIVE PROGRAMS

The pressure placed on the correctional system is also affecting family members of offenders.

An Ottawa support group for women with relatives serving time in

prison is advocating for funding proven rehabilitative programs, changes to Canada’s remand system as well as more diversion programs, such as a mental-health or drug court and restorative justice.

“We want to put practices in place, evidence-based practices in our corrections system that will reduce recidivism, because none of us want to go through it again,” said one of two founding members of Mothers Offering Mutual Support or MOMS. Eventually, most offenders will be released from prison, the Ottawabased mother said, who asked to remain anonymous.

“This person could be your neighbour. How do you want this person to come out? Do you want them coming out having good insight as to what led to their offence, really good insight and for them to have strategies to ensure it’s never going to happen again?” she asked. “(Correctional Service Canada) has a whole list of excellent rehabilitative programs, but their funding has been cut and some of the programs too have been kind of blended together as a one-size-fits-all program.”

Meanwhile, the rate at which offenders are granted parole continues to set new historic lows and a greater percentage of offenders are spending more of their sentences behind bars in increasingly volatile and hardening conditions of confinement.

The programming that does exist often faces precarious funding situations and dwindling resources.

If prison programs are cut, that moves some of the burden to community-based programming, though dollars are stretched just as thin there.

Impending federal cuts to Circles of Support and Accountability, a community based program that helps high-risk sex offenders reintegrate after prison is “nonsensical,” said Randall Garrison, the federal public safety critic for the New Democratic Party.

“That is probably the most single most effective program in probably the whole prison system.”

Public Safety Canada acknowledges the program’s success, but in the House of Commons, Minister Steven Blaney has said the Circles program is not in the ministry’s mandate, said Garrison, who doesn’t buy this, and has told Blaney, “‘Your mandate is not punishment, it’s corrections. It’s called corrections. It’s called rehabilitation.’”

“It’s very disturbing to realize that less than four per cent of the Correctional Service’s overall budget is spent on correctional programs.”

What they said “There needs to be a national mental-health strategy ...

Prison is the wrong place to deal with these types of things.”

WAYNE EASTER, LIBERAL PUBLIC SAFETY CRITIC

Easter also points to evidence that shows rehabilitation programs have a positive impact on an individual’s ability to rebuild their life.

But the supports need to be there.

“There needs to be a national mental-health strategy,” he said. “Sixty per cent of the country’s inmates have mental-health issues and 70 per cent have addictions issues. Prison is the wrong place to deal with these types of things.

Far better than (going) cold turkey is support programs; there’s a chance of making it then. Beyond that, simply making it a condition of parole means that when someone falls off the wagon it’s a violation of their sentence. What works best isn’t punishment, but maybe access to a 30-day facility.”

One Ottawa halfway house for federal offenders looks to blend treatment and reintegration, and is designed to help treat the root causes of substance abuse and teach offenders new coping skills.

“Guys who come to Decision House don’t go back to jail,” said Louis Berubé, executive director of Maison Decision House, which has 14 beds that are always in demand.

Housing and employment help are also available to offenders, many of whom have been in and out of the system.

The organization’s annual budget is a little more than $500,000 – a lot less than the cost of keeping all “his guys” in jail, Berubé said.

John Howard Society of Ottawa staff visit the halfway house to offer employment skills training and provide leads on jobs.

The organization deals with clients who have complex needs, but the key areas of concentration need to be safe,

“(Offenders) need a safe place to ... develop community supports, where they can have mental health assessment, can develop a treatment plan.”

“(The government’s) mandate is not punishment, it’s corrections. It’s called corrections. It’s called rehabilitation.”

affordable housing and employment.

The society has a business stream that trains offenders how to do asbestos abatement work and then helps place them in jobs, said Don Waddell, executive director.

One offender who took advantage of the program, who asked to remain anonymous, said after he took the course, he realized afterwards he wouldn’t be able to join the worker’s union. Instead, he was paid less for the same work, and given worse tasks.

The offender said he and his coworkers were treated like secondclass citizens.

“I’m treated differently,’ I’m looked at differently,” he said. “We’re given the dirtier jobs and frowned upon. No matter what inroads I take, I’m always seen as a criminal.”

Though work is being done in the community to curb recidivism, there continues to be a push for change within jails.

The Ontario Public Service Employees Union Corrections Division published a paper in April 2014 titled New Directions: A blueprint for reforming the province of Ontario’s prison system to protect the public, reduce costs and rehabilitate inmates.

The report provides a variety of short-term and long-term fixes to reform the corrections system.

It suggests building temporary housing structures within existing facilities in order to renovate space to expand and add specialized units for severally physically and mentally ill inmates.

“We have an acute crisis with acute mental-health issues,” said Garrison, noting that between 40 and 80 per cent of people admitted to prisons have a mental illness or an addiction.

“In terms of acute problems, we don’t have adequate facilities.”

Though the federal government

says Canada’s prison population is not increasing as projected, Garrison said it is still growing by about 1,000 inmates per year.

“So you still have to provide the physical facilities for that and so a lot of resources are going to that and we don’t have the increased programming money to keep up with that,” he said.

“And so wait lists for treatment are going to get longer and therefore we’re going to get more people who are released who still have mentalillness problems, addiction problems (and) … who are more likely to reoffend because they haven’t had these basic underlying social causes of crime dealt with.”

There are programs in place, often run by non-for-profit organizations, which help fill the gap in services for repeat offenders.

Despite a lack of funding, some of the people they have helped have been able to get a fresh start or successfully begin reintegration in society.

Dan Parlow is one of those people who is breaking the cycle of recidivism, after being in and out of jail since he was convicted of armed robbery when he was 16.

Now, at 49, he’s been out of jail for the longest stretch since that first conviction, and says he knew he had to stay clean after he was paroled in July 2013, otherwise he’d end up back behind bars.

Enter the LifeHouse Residential program, a five-month, substanceabuse residential program run by the Ottawa Mission. Parlow completed the program, then entered secondstage housing and is now moving to an apartment in Blackburn Hamlet. He also started a degree in criminology at Carleton University. He was able to attend school thanks to financial support from the Mission’s donors.

At the close of the first semester,

Parlow had straight As and was hired to research Gladue reports for a consultant firm called IndinGENIUS. The reports are used in the Gladue court system, a special court for Aboriginal offenders – who are extremely overrepresented in the Canadian corrections system, according to statistics from Correctional Services Canada.

It’s a job he says he relishes because he believes it’s particularly important for aboriginals who are involved in the criminal justice system to have the supports they need.

DIVERSION PROGRAMS

There is a glimmer of hope for a fresh start if an offender can enter a diversion program, such as the precharge diversion program run by the Salvation Army, which works with first-time offenders.

The typical offence is theft under $5,000. Clients are directed to the program while they are waiting for their first court appearance, and are often referred by Ottawa police.

“Our office is in the court house and I typically see 30 to 50 clients per month,” said caseworker Sheena Lalonde.

When assessing a referral, Lalonde said she often looks at the whole picture.

“A single mom with two kids on Ontario Works is a totally different case than say, a teen stealing a stereo,” Lalonde said, adding she may assign the mother to community service hours at the food bank, so she can serve her sentence and connect with the organization for resources to prevent repeat offending.

Lalonde said she looks for the root cause of an offender’s crime.

“If someone is stealing to pay for a gambling addiction, for example, it’s

levels that provide public safety and hopefully can save taxpayers money in the long run.””

important to treat the original issue,” she said. “Scrubbing toilets isn’t really going to help them.”

Lalonde said just as much time is spent on connecting clients with resources like Ontario Works or the Low Income Energy Assistance program to help pay utility costs.

The Intermittent Community Work Program offered by the Salvation Army is similar to pre-charge diversion, but instead deals with clients who have already been sentenced. It helps them remain in the community and do service rather than lose their jobs by going to prison.

The program receives some funding from the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.

Most clients are up on fraud or minor theft charges, and sentences vary, from two weeks to a year of weekends.

“It’s expensive to keep people in jail and this way people get to keep their jobs,” said program head April Rutherford, who deals with about 30 clients each month.

Offenders often work at the Salvation Army thrift store and the Shepherds of Good Hope, a charity that helps the poor and homeless in Ottawa.

Programs such as pre-charge diversion and intermittent community work would have been a welcome solution for Parlow when he first came into contact with the law.

Though he says he is now turning his life around, he can’t help but wonder what would have happened if he hadn’t entered prison, which he refers to as a “University of Crime,” at a young age.

“The system can be very harsh,” Parlow said. “Sometimes it can be a tough cycle to break on your own.”

More jails not the answer

B

usiness is booming in Ontario jails, but it’s the kind of expansion nobody wants.

This week, we published the final instalment of our four-part series about recidivism – when previously convicted criminals reoffend - in Ontario and the state of our correctional system.

The numbers tell a disturbing tale. We discovered an odd statistical trend: despite the fact that Canada’s crime rate has been steadily declining over the past decade – this year we’re at a level not seen since 1969 – the number of federally incarcerated offenders hit a record high in 2013. Overcrowding is the new reality in Canadian prisons, with double-bunking prisoners required in 20 per cent of all federal prison cells. Also on the upswing is the rising cost of Canada’s prison system: the annual price per offender is $200,000 for females and $117,000 for males in federal penitentiaries.

Meanwhile, the cost of community supervision of offenders hovers around $35,000 per year. Critics of the federal government say we are following the failed example of the United States that started

during the 1980s, with a massive push for prison construction and tougher sentences.

Three decades later, our southern neighbours, a country with 700 of every 100,000 people incarcerated, are reconsidering their strategy and are now starting to spend more tax dollars on rehabilitation and support programs instead of prison construction.

We need to follow their example.

With so many critics – both academic and political – calling into question the federal government’s tough-on-crime approach, with the introduction of mandatory minimums and stiffer sentences, what is the government’s rationale for its push for prison construction?

During the past two months we repeatedly called and emailed the office of Steven Blaney, the federal minister for Public Safety, with no response.

If the Conservatives insist on pushing forward with an irrational correctional strategy, one that will eventually cost us dearly financially, perhaps the only convincing argument must be delivered at the ballot box.

They take this wariness to the Weather Network, early, checking the monthly forecast, then the 14-day forecast, then the weekly, hoping for numbers in the double digits but fearing the single. Somewhere in the back of their minds might be the perverse thought that a snowstorm or freezing rain in the forecast might enable the trip to be cancelled.

Ottawa airport reopens largest runway after $30M reconstruction project Air traffic over the city alters course after Sept. 30 opening.

News – Air traffic has noticeably changed course over Ottawa with last week’s open-

ing of the Ottawa MacdonaldCartier International Airport’s newly reconstructed runway – the third and final landing strip to be overhauled as part of a multimillion project.

After years of planning, the $30-million reconstruction, funded by airport improvement fees, began on May 20.

Meeting the deadline was essential to minimize the impact to neighbourhoods under the flight path.

More air traffic was directed over communities located east and west of the facility while the longest runway was

days there were 200 people on site at any given time,” said Kealey. “It’s a big runway.”

The existing runway was completely reconstructed as well as re-contoured to ensure proper drainage. Lighting systems along the strip were also replaced.

The last time the airport’s runways were resurfaced was during the 1980s.

A 300-meter-long runway end safety area was also installed at the end of the strip “in case an aircraft overshoots the runway or lands long or needs accelerating,” Kealey said.

The special additions ensure the Ottawa airport meets international standards for runway safety set out by the International Civil Aviation Organization, the United States Federal Aviation Au-

out of commission, “which meant that all of the neigbourhoods east and west of the airport had all of the noise, whereas it’s normally spread out over two runways,” said Krista Kealey, spokeswoman for the Ottawa International Airport Authority, which has been managing and operating the airport since 1997.

Since May, workers with general contractor R.W. Tomlinson, primary sub-contractor Black & McDonald and main consultant WSP Canada have been working 16-hour days, six days a week to ensure the more than 3,000 metre-long runway would be completed by the Sept. 30 deadline. They went through about 85,000 tonnes of asphalt and almost 38,000 litres of paint.

“We’ve done it with safety in mind for our passengers, our aircraft and crew.

We’ve done it because it’s the right thing to do,” Kealey said. “We’d rather lead the way in terms of safety. It’s our absolute first priority.

And so we’re there.”

The safety area was dug up, and loose fill was added and then seeded.

“So it’s grass, but if a plane were to go into it, the way that it’s sloped … would allow it to come to a stop and there’d be nothing there to do any damage to it, so it would just sort of sink into it,” she explained. The reconstruction is the third and final phase of an overhaul that began in 2010 with an overhaul of the 04/22 north field runway, a 1,000-metre-long strip used for general aviation, as well as flight schools and flying clubs, which use small aircraft such as Cessnas.

Then, in 2012, the airport’s 07/25 east-west runway was overhauled and runway end safety areas were installed at a cost of about $15 million.

“And then we went to the added step of grooving it (in 2013), which means you make cuts across the runway, and that’s to improve drainage again,” Kealey said.

“And we’re the only tierone airport in Canada that has a grooved runway.

The only other one is a small airport in (Canada’s) north.” Next steps for the airport authority include grooving the airport’s longest runway next summer after the asphalt has cured.

Ottawa South United coach wins provincial coaching award Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Sports - An Ottawa South United soccer coach has won a coaching award from the provincial coaches governing body.

Craig Stead, 24, won the 2014 Ontario Coaching Excellence Award for male grassroots coach on Sept. 20.

Stead has been a player with the club and coached all age groups, but he currently works six-to eight-year-old players in a developmental program.

The pre-academy program teaches fundamental skills, and is separate from the regular recreational stream. Not all players in the program will go on to the high performance teams, but the fundamental

program prepares the players who will.

The team plays in a few festivals through the year, but Stead said the program focuses on building strong players for the future versus winning games.

“If you’re developing players properly, success and winning games is a byproduct,” he said. “We’re able to provide them a better fundamental technical ability when they’re going to the competitive stream – or wherever they continue – by having a greater impact at the earlier ages and working with their general athletic abilities.”

Ottawa South United is one of three Ottawa clubs that has a licence to enter teams into the Ontario youth league, so each age division at the club

The club encompasses Riv-

erside South, Findlay Creek, Barrhaven, Manotick, Kars and Greely areas, and has its

main home field in Manotick, at George Nelms Park.

Stead started coaching a decade ago as a young teen, but he’s been part of the club since 1998 as a player. He was hired by the club shortly after university and said he feels lucky to be able to do what he loves as his job.

According to his nomination from the club to the coaches’ association, he is the only coach in the region to hold the United States Soccer Federation national youth license. Last year he became one of the youngest coaches to earn the Canadian Soccer Association B license for coaching.

“He’s not ego-driven, he’s passion-driven,” said an Ottawa South United representative in the YouTube video

shown at the awards. “He’s run the whole gamut, from youth soccer to university soccer… he knows it from the top to the bottom.”

The pre-academy program Stead runs started more than two years ago as a pilot project with 15 players; it’s now grown to over 100.

He said it was exciting to win the award from the coaches’ association.

“Sometimes when you work with younger players, because we don’t go to tournaments or they’re not graduating onto university or the professional stream, you don’t always see the immediate impact of the work you’re putting in,” he said. “So it’s nice to see recognition for the work that not only myself, but all the coaching staff are putting in.”

Officer who worked with drug addiction issues in Manotick takes own life Brier Dodge and Jessica Cunha brier.dodge@metroland.com

News – Ottawa police are in mourning after an officer took his own life at the Elgin Street police headquarters on Sunday.

Staff Sgt. Kalid “Kal” Ghadban, a 22-year veteran of the police force, was discovered with serious injuries in his office shortly after 1 p.m. on Sept.

28.

Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit, which is probing the death, said that Ghadban was transported to hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

The unit has assigned three investigators and one forensic investigator to look into the incident.

Police spokesperson Const. Marc Soucy would not confirm reports that Ghadban killed himself with his service revolver.

Ghadban’s family have released a statement through the police, asking the public to respect their privacy.

“We are heartbroken to have lost Kal so tragically and so young,” said the family. “He was a proud and devoted husband and father, and an excellent police officer.

He said police met with Ghadban’s wife, three young children and parents that afternoon.

“We’re there to support Kal’s family, his wife, his three kids, and all the members of the Ottawa Police Service who knew Kal deeply,” Bordeleau said.

Bordeleau said Ghadban handled many difficult cases and projects. He tackled high-profile drug addiction issues in the village of Manotick and oversaw an investigation into a string of break and enters targeting Ottawa’s Asian communities. He had also recently managed a break and enter at Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau’s Rockcliffe Park home.

Ghadban headed the police’s break and enter section as well as the street crime and human trafficking units.

Ghadban was a familiar face at community meetings and events across the city.

“This is difficult and it’s not a day that you want as a chief or a member of the executive,” Bordeleau said. “It shows the fragility of life and how important it is to come together and support our people in this organization.”

Bordeleau could not comment on the circumstances surrounding the incident because the civilian Ontario’s Special Investiga-

“We would like to thank his friends, his colleagues and the community for their support and for keeping our family and friends in their thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time,” they said.

Ghadban, 43, lived in West Carleton with his young family.

“I knew Kal even before my time on council,” said West Carleton-March Eli El-Chantiry, chair of the police services board. “Kal used to frequently come see me at the Lighthouse (Restaurant) with his family. We got to know him through the years.”

El-Chantiry had just gotten home from the Canadian Police and Peace Officers Memorial on Parliament Hill Sunday when he received the news.

“It was a sad day to begin with,” said El-Chantiry. “Our focus is on his wife, his three children, his family, his mom and dad, his brothers and sisters, the whole Lebanese community.

“He was larger than life. His laugh would fill up the room. I don’t know what to say. Honestly, my heart goes out to his (family).”

Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau said the mood at the police station was sad and sombre as he gave a statement to media hours after the incident.

The Manotick News published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

tions Unit has invoked its mandate.

The agency is called in to investigate criminal cases involving police and civilians resulting in death, serious injury and sexual assault allegations.

On Monday morning, Sept. 29, Soucy said the family has requested a private funeral service. He said crisisintervention supports continue to be available for all members of the police service.

“Everybody’s encouraged to talk to someone if they feel they need to,” he said.

The police have set up an Honouring Kal website at www.ottawapolice. ca/en/news-and-community/HonouringKal.asp.

SUICIDE RATES HIGHER IN FIRST RESPONDERS

Since April 29 of this year, 12 police officers in Ontario have died by suicide, said Vince Savoia, executive director of the Tema Conter Memorial Trust, a charity which researches and provides training and support for psychological issues for first responders and military personnel.

Savoia attended the 1988 homicide of Tema Conter, and became suicidal after witnessing the case as a first responder, he said.

“I think it’s a combination of things,”

Savoia said. “It’s the sort of work that they do, police, fire, EMS. The unfortunate reality is that they see the underbelly of society.

“On the flip side, you see the culture that almost penalizes people for coming forward if they ask for help.”

Savoia said there are significant resources available to first responders through their own employers and outside associations, but there is a stigma, and some individuals who have asked for help. Savoia said many suicidal first responders suffer from both post traumatic stress disorder and depression.

He said it would be impossible to comment on Ghadban’s death specifically as details have not been released.

No information has been released as to whether Ghadban was suffering from any job-related stresses or problems.

Ghadban had retweeted a statistic detailing how many first responders had died from suicide since April from the Tema Conter Memorial Trust on his Twitter account in September, which included the hashtag “heroes are human.”

TEMA operates a personal, peer and family support line at 1-888288-8036. The Ottawa Distress Line is available at all hours at 613-2383311.

The walk started at Accora Village and ended at the Maplesoft Cancer Centre on Alta Vista Drive, a 28 km walk.

Dealing with Stress and Anxiety at University

Darby

AOR Ortho Adapt As a fourth year university student I am particularly stressed a lot of the time. AOR Ortho Adapt has really helped me manage extreme anxiety and has allowed me to remain calm and focused on my studies.

Renew Life Norwegian Gold Super Critical Omega I love Renew Life Norwegian Gold Super Critical Omega because it is a high potency formula with Vitamin D in one capsule a day. The oil is contained in capsules made from fish gelatine that also contain lipase - the enzyme that helps your body break down fats, so no more unpleasant fishy burps.

Attending university can be one of the most enjoyable experiences of your life. It can also be one the most stressful. Moving away from home and being presented with exciting new social and academic situations can lead to high levels of both stress and anxiety. A survey of more than 30,000 Canadian students revealed that nearly 90% of students felt overwhelmed by everything they had on their plates in the past year, and 56% experienced overwhelming anxiety.

Here are some simple ways to proactively take care of your mental health.

Ten ways to manage stress and anxiety: 1.

Eat well.

Get exercise.

Surround yourself with love.

Make connections with your professors.

Get sufďŹ cient sleep.

Take some time to yourself.

Go outside.

Recognize and avoid stress triggers.

Explore holistic approaches.

Keep things in perspective.

Balance in your diet is particularly important. What you eat affects your energy level, attention span, memory and happiness. Likewise, exercise can be extremely helpful when you need to clear your mind or deal with that gnawing anxiety of an upcoming exam.

Even though the all-nighter is tempting, being rested does wonders for memory retention and focus levels. While procrastinating will only add to stress levels, an hour break to make yourself dinner or watch your favourite TV show can also bring a world of peace to your mind.

Try to ďŹ nd a place to study outdoors or go for a walk and allow yourself some fresh air and sunlight.

Days can begin to feel long and overwhelming when you spend too much time inside. Figure out what is triggering stress; maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the eerie quietness of the library or that friend that is constantly bragging about her grades. Address the trigger and learn to either avoid it or work around it.

Suburban span to be renamed Vimy Memorial Bridge Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – The StrandherdArmstrong bridge in south Ottawa will soon be christened the Vimy Memorial Bridge, if council accepts a recommendation from the transportation committee.

The Manotick and Barrhaven branches of the Royal Canadian Legion jointly proposed the name Vimy Bridge this July, with the support of Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches.

The bridge spans the Rideau River, connecting Earl Armstrong Road in Riverside South and Strandherd Drive in Barrhaven.

The proposal aimed to memorialize the 1917 battle of Vimy Ridge, in which 3,600 Canadian troops were killed and another 7,000 were wounded.

A month of consultation revealed overwhelming support for the spirit of the proposal, but enough people were put off by the perceived wordplay of rhyming “bridge” with “ridge” that the commemorative naming committee added the word “memorial” to appease most naysayers.

“Some (people) objected to what they perceived as a pun on Vimy Ridge,” said Diane

Blais in the city clerk’s office.

“The compromise of adding the name ‘memorial’ alleviated their concerns, because their major concern was the play on words.”

Barrhaven legion president Ernie Hughes said the two branches support the revised name – and said it was never their intention to make a pun out of the nation-building battle.

“Once we heard (the revised name) we totally agreed with it. It does sound better,” Hughes said.

In total, the clerk’s office received 293 emails, two letters, four phone calls and a petition signed by 352 individuals responding to the proposal. Of these 651 responses, 560 were in support and 91 were in opposition, according to a staff report.

Blais said some dissenters disagreed with memorializing wars in general, while others wanted more focus on peacekeeping efforts.

Others thought the battle of Vimy Ridge deserved to be honoured on a more prominent piece of infrastructure, rather than “a suburban bridge.”

But Hughes said there’s no better project for the memorial than the $48 million span connecting two of Ottawa’s

fastest growing communities.

“A lot of people say let’s wait for the bridge that crosses from Ontario to Quebec; well, they’re never going to name it that,” Hughes said.

A new international bridge to the United States wouldn’t accept the name, either, he predicted.

“People are dreaming if they think there’s going to be another project in the city.”

Staff recommended the transportation committee accept the commemorative name on the grounds that it holds historic significance for the region and country.

A group of legion members from the two southern branches, as well as members from Bells Corners, attended the meeting on Oct. 1 to show their support for the commemorative name.

“We all look back at those people who fought in World War One; here they are charging automatic weapons,” Hughes said.

“Canadian soldiers, we remember that type of stuff and the heroes it took to do that. The only way to honour them, as civilians, is to name things after the things they’ve done.”

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND City council was set to ap- Ernie Hughes was the brainchild behind a proposal to rename the Strandherd-Armstrong prove the final decision on bridge after the battle of Vimy Ridge.

News – Several Ottawa organizations, from police to case workers, are reaching out to gang members’ families as part of a new strategy to divert younger siblings from joining street gangs.

The siblings-at-risk project is a partnership between the Ottawa police, the John Howard Society, Youturn Youth Support Services, Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa, Crossroads Children’s centre, provincial probation services and Ottawa Youth Justice Services.

Siblings of gang members are often recruited by gangs.

“We do see family names repeat,” said acting Staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden, head of the police guns and gangs unit, adding the key is reaching siblings when they are still very young.

The siblings-at-risk program “goes straight to the root of what could very possibly be the future of guns and gangs,” he said.

“What that young fellow or that young girl might be learning or absorbing from the big brother, who knows, but they’re exposed to it,” Bryden said, adding they may be exposed to guns and drugs, violence, gang colours, symbols, jargon and graffiti.

It is one of eight new initiatives that have been developed by more than a dozen agencies and organizations over the past year that were publicly unveiled on Sept. 23 as part of the Ottawa Gang Strategy steering committee’s one-year progress report on gangs in Ottawa.

Since the three-year action plan was launched in June 2013, stakeholders have been developing collaborative programs

to curb gang activity through prevention, intervention, neighbourhood cohesion and enforcement and suppression activities.

Some of those initiatives are being rolled out in a number of communities identified by police as being affected by gang activity and violence, some of them the setting for some of the 30 shootings this year, including Herongate, Banff-Ledbury and other south Ottawa communities, said Bryden.

As part of the “roadmap for action,” community partners are sharing information, hosting training opportunities, providing a co-ordinated response in supporting families, and mapping out provincial services and resources, among several other supports.

“A gang strategy is a longterm approach to a complex social problem, and so what

“That was way to easy!”

the first-year (report) says is that we’re putting a lot of great pieces in place with the intention of creating, long-term, a community that will be resilient to crime and gangs, and will be able to keep families and children and youth safe,” said steering committee member Nancy Worsfold, who is executive director of Crime Prevention Ottawa, which is funding the initiatives coming out of the strategic plan.

Since August, agencies have reached out to seven families of gang members or associates, and one has already accepted help.

“Our goal is to target 14 families in a year,” said Christine McIntosh, director of child and youth services and employment and training for the John Howard Society of Ottawa.

Museum to take financial hit with unexpected, prolonged closure Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - January is the earliest the beleaguered Canada Science and Technology Museum could reopen its doors, despite initial hopes by officials to have it back up and running within weeks following the discovery of mould.

The facility will suffer a financial blow since it will be forced to remain closed over the Christmas holidays, when it draws thousands of visitors, making it one of the busiest seasons for the museum.

Officials initially hoped to be back up and running again within weeks of the Sept. 11 discovery of high levels of air-

borne mould due to water leaking in from the roof.

“On top of having costs to fix the situation, we’re also going to have a significant revenue shortfall if we can’t be open during the holidays,” said museum spokesman Olivier Bouffard.

Visitor admissions, memberships, corporate rentals, group bookings, and parking fees generate about 21 per cent of the annual operating budget for the Canada Science Technology Museums Corporation, which manages the Canada Science and Technology Museum, the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum and the Aviation and Space Museum.

The bulk of the budget is

OVER

funded by the federal government. The corporation received $28.6 million for the 2012-13 fiscal year, representing 79 per cent of total revenues, Bouffard said.

“The repairs right now, we don’t have a cost for it yet so we don’t know where we’re going to take the money,” he said, adding that it’s too soon to tell how much the mould remediation project will cost.

“What makes this job particularly complex, and why it’s taking us awhile to be able to say how long this work is going to take, is that we have to fix a mould problem in a wall that supports a roof that has asbestos in it,” Bouffard said.

The museum’s problems

have sparked interest in creating a new dedicated site at Lebreton Flats, but Bouffard shot down the idea.

“That’s outside speculation from our standpoint because the corporation doesn’t have a plan to move or relocate at this point. What we’re looking at is fixing the problem in order to welcome visitors as soon as possible.”

Even if a new site were approved, it wouldn’t happen quick enough for the museum to reopen in the short term, “unless our locomotives start flying or something,” he said.

“I wouldn’t even want to start speculating on how long it would take us to start moving some of our big artifacts, like

locomotives.” The museum is home to four steam-powered locomotive engines.

Factor in the museum’s outdoor landmarks such as a lighthouse, a rocket and the Helen Sawyer Hogg Observatory, which houses one of the largest refractor telescopes in Canada “and I don’t think we’ll be sneaking out without anybody noticing,” Bouffard said. “At this point (moving elsewhere) is just not on the table or in the cards for us, as far as we know.” Meanwhile, about 60 staff members have been relocated to the Space and Aviation Museum and the Food and Agriculture Museum, as well as the corporation’s administration building on Lancaster

Road, across the street from the shuttered museum.

They were evacuated from the premises on Sept. 11 after air-quality tests detected high levels of airborne mould.

“There are currently no layoffs. Everyone is being reassigned and redeployed through the corporation,” Bouffard said. “That’s a bit of a silver lining of being three museums together.”

Between 50 and 60 customers who had booked the museum for children’s sleepovers, birthday parties and corporate events until the New Year are in the process of being contacted by staff with the offer of holding their group bookings at the sister museums, he said.

Marguirite felt birthday gift was lacking

R

are indeed were the times we girls of the Northcote School were ever invited to play at Marguiriteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home.

But that week nine of us, all who were in the junior grades, got little invitations handed out by Marguirite herself. They were done up with real printing, no doubt on one of those new typewriters that we read about in the Ottawa Farm Journal, and we were all invited to a party to celebrate Marguiriteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eighth birthday.

Well. This demanded a meeting at the Northcote School, let me tell you. Cora said we should all just not go. Joyce said that would be very bad manners. Velma and I said we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss it for the world. For days, we could talk about nothing else.

I was the only one who had ever been in Marguiriteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house, and that was a day I

MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories would be happy to forget about. I barely got my nose inside the door when Marguirite and I got into an argument, and I was hustled home in her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car before I had a chance to even have a good look around. I knew for a fact there were electric lights and a flush toilet, because Marguirite made sure we all knew about her modern conveniences. And there I was gypped out of trying either. Imagine a flush toilet, not a little hut behind the cedar trees at the back of the house, and electric lights just like they had in the houses in Renfrew.

The party was on a Saturday, and we were all decked out in our very best clothes -- the ones we wore to church on Sundays. When we arrived on the dot, Marguirite looked like she had just stepped out of a gift box. Her artificial curls were tight around her head and looked for all the world like little golden sausages. I could have sworn she had on lipstick and a spattering of rouge.

Her mother shook hands with us, just like the minister did after church on Sunday, and it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for her to get us playing games, quiet ones, like snakes and

ladders and Chinese checkers, and there were prizes for the winners.

Finally, we are shuffled out of the parlour and into the dining room -- Joyceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house was the only one I knew of which had a dining room -- the rest of us ate our meals around old pine tables in our kitchens. There was even a white table cloth spread out, and in the very centre of the table was a cake with candles, and in front of each of our plates was a little bag like Mr. Briscoe used to measure out black pepper. A gift for each of us to take home.

But before we could have our cake, Marguiriteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother brought in all our presents and put them in front of her in a heap. My gift seemed to be the biggest in the pile, but I had taken a heart shaped box that had once held chocolates, and arranged inside of it a lace hanky Aunt Lizzie had sent me in the

hand-me-down box. There was certainly no money for frivolities like expensive birthday presents. Even at that, I hated giving up the little hanky, the only nice one I had with real lace on it.

And the box had held little treasures I had collected, like shiny stones, my own hankie with a few pennies tied in a corner, and hair ribbons I kept for special occasions.

And there I was handing over two of my most precious possessions to a girl who did nothing but cause me anguish at the Northcote School.

Finally, she was down to my present. My sister Audrey had wrapped it in red tissue paper that had been ironed and which was once wrapped around a Christmas present.

Marguirite tore into the parcel, which I thought was very extravagant indeed. We would have saved the paper at our house.

I could tell she loved the

heart shaped box, with the hand-painted face on the top.

She lifted the lid and gazed at the lace hanky, which I read immediately as pure delight.

She took out the hanky, and stared at the inside of the box.

Then she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the chocolates?â&#x20AC;?

Her mother quickly held up the hanky and made clucking sounds of approval, while Marguirite looked at me as if I had just stolen eggs out of their chicken coop.

While the cake was doled out, Marguirite never took her eyes off me, and I had the worst urge to ask for both the hanky and the heart shaped box back. And I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for the party to be over.

But before we were all to head home, I decided I was going to get something out of the day besides Marguiriteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ill temper, so I went upstairs and used the flush toilet. In fact, I flushed it three or four times, and even though the sun was shining in the little window, I snapped the light switch on an off for good measure.

Mary Spratt Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to you Gram, 100!

October 16th Not too many can claim that signiďŹ cant milestone.

This is for you, ďŹ nally your day in the sun. The recognition so rightly deserved after a lifetime of strength and perseverance through such incredible, adversity and tragedy. How do you possibly honour someone who has so effectively and efďŹ ciently taught so many lessons; other than your legacy will live on through me and many others.

Thank you Gram for all the moments we have shared.

Love Dawn

Canada’s dwindling blood supply prompts urgent appeal for donors erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - A blood shortage across the country has prompted Canadian Blood Services to appeal for donors to roll up their sleeves and boost dwindling supplies to keep hospitals from having to defer elective surgeries and other treatments.

Summertime is typically

a slow donation time due to travel schedules, but in the past few months demand for blood, coupled with low donor attendance, has resulted in Canada’s lowest blood inventory since 2008.

“Every community has been struggling this year and that’s why we officially launched the appeal on Tuesday morning (Sept. 30) to all Canadians,” said Pamela Mullins,

director of donor relations for Canadian Blood Services, a national non-profit that manages much of Canada’s blood supply. “We typically like to keep inventory between five and eight days on hand and right now we are just hovering around that three-day mark.

It is imperative for the agency to keep adequate supplies on hand in order to serve hospital demands for blood on

a day-to-day basis. Types A and O blood types are especially needed.

“So if we don’t turn this around, we will have difficulty meeting the expected hospital demands across the country,” said Mullins. Elective surgeries and other routine medical treatments may be delayed until blood donations rise to healthy levels. Hospitals are not yet at that stage, but they

are closely monitoring the situation, she said. “That’s why this is so critical.”

Canadian Blood Services collects about 17,000 units a week across the country, but has been failing to accomplish that in recent months due to higher-than-expected appointment cancellation and no-show rates. “So in order for us to turn that around, not only do we have to meet those

17,000 units a week, but also have to have an additional 7,500 on top of that to make up the shortfall we have been seeing,” the director said.

To donate blood, visit blood. ca, call 1-888-2-DONATE or 1-888-236-6283 or download a free GiveBlood app on your iPhone or Android, which allows users to find a blood clinic location and book an appointment.

Holistic approach targets the whole family “We’re doing continuous intake over a period of a year, so obviously the work will continue past a year. I suspect when it’s all said and done, it will be, from the beginning to the end, a three-year process.”

Families of gang members and gang associates are identified by police guns and gangs investigators.

From there, families will be approached with an offer of assistance in the form of counselling, employment services and school programs for siblings and even the gang members. If the families consent to the service, a worker from John Howard or Youturn will tailor a program to the needs of the family, the siblings, and the gang member to help them leave behind gang life.

“It’s a very holistic approach in supporting the whole family,” McIntosh said.

“It’s for mom and dad and it’s for little Johnny and little Mary, but it’s also for that gang member and that gang associate that we know lives there,” said Bryden. “It’s the olive branch of ‘Look, this is why we’re here, but we’d love to help you out as well. Are you looking for an exit strategy from this world that you’re in? We can help you migrate out of that safely.’”

Trying to get gang members to accept an offer of help is a “massive” hurdle, Bryden said. “Some have been entrenched for years. Some love the lifestyle, the money, the attention that maybe they wouldn’t necessarily get if they didn’t have this, the world of gang affiliation, the gang phenomenon.”

The gang strategy reveals police identified about 485 gang members and associates in 2013, up from 473 in Ottawa in 2012, and between 15 to 19 street gangs in both 2012 and 2013.

The hope is that the numbers of street gangs and members and associates operating in the city will go down if siblings can be diverted as soon as

More projects could be added over time to the Ottawa Gang Strategy, such as identifying key moments in a gang member’s life when they may consider leaving the gang.

“So for example, one moment which sometimes causes young men to change their ways is becoming a father, so have we got a project yet?

No,” said Worsfold. “Are we talking and thinking (about a project)? Yes.”

“If we see a decrease in one or more or all of these numbers, we’re on track,” said Bryden. “I am very confident there are going to be very good results,” he said. “I can’t see tangible results right now, but I certainly see the makings of those.”

While police enforcement is helping, “it needs support and this is the support it needs,” he said.

Police to focus on distracted driving this month

Trick or Treat with the Mayor

Manotick News staff

News - Police are warning drivers to put down their phones and keep their eyes on the road.

It only takes a single moment of distraction while driving to cause years of grief and regret for yourself or someone else.

This month, Ottawa and Gatineau police will focus on distracted driving and stop sign violations.

According to Ottawa police, there were 23,283 collisions resulting in 6,463 injuries and 18 fatalities related to distracted driving between 2009 and 2013.

There were 3,283 collisions, resulting in 1,034 injuries and

eight fatalities related to stop sign violations during that same time period.

This month-long focus, part of the Safer Roads Ottawa program, aims to prevent road deaths and serious injuries for people living and driving in Ottawa.

The program is a partnership between both national capital region police forces, Ottawa Fire Services, Ottawa Paramedic Service, Ottawa Public Health and the Public Works Department.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Ontario Provincial Police, Sûreté du Québec, and the Department of National Defence’s Military Police will also participate in the program.

RETAIL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY FOR AN AGENCY STORE IN PIPERVILLE, LCBO RFP #2014-123 PIPERVILLE An excellent business opportunity is now available to established retailers in Piperville.

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is seeking a responsible, customerfocused retailer to operate an LCBO Agency Store in Piperville.

To qualify, the applicant must have an existing, currently operating retail business in the community and commit to operating the Agency store within established LCBO guidelines.

To facilitate the sale of beverage alcohol products, the operator may be required to enter into separate commercial arrangements with the LCBO and domestic beer suppliers. The successful applicant will also be required to participate in a special LCBO server-training program to ensure the responsible sale of beverage alcohol products.

Admission is a donation to the Ottawa Food Bank’s Baby Supply Cupboard.

Since 1962, the LCBO has authorized more than 200 Agency stores to serve communities that have requested service but where the local population is too small to support a regular LCBO or beer store. These Agency stores are operated by local retailers within their existing retail business. Agency store contracts are normally awarded for a five-year term. In communities where there is currently an Agency store, as the contract nears expiry, the LCBO will take into consideration the fact that new businesses in the community may have been established and will allow an opportunity for all businesses in the community to compete for the next five-year term.

Please advise of any accessibility-related accommodation. Please note that this is not a nut-free event.

Operating an LCBO Agency Store provides a retailer with an excellent opportunity to increase revenue and attract customers while providing local residents with beverage alcohol services. Agency stores also deliver economic benefits to the community in many cases through job creation and increased customer traffic for local merchants.

Interested businesses must request by mail the application package for this competition before end of business day, Friday, October 24, 2014 and must quote the following information:

Archives exhibit depicts ‘A City Shaped By Fire’ Ottawa’s history of fires, artifacts, displayed in sombre exhibit Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

News - Were it not for the work of firefighters and volunteers, Ottawa would likely have burned to the ground twice in the first century of its existence.

These events – the Ottawa Valley-wide forest fires of 1870 and the city’s “Great Fire” of 1900 – make up part of a new exhibition at the City of Ottawa Archives.

Ashes: A City Shaped By Fire opened at the new archives facil-

ity on Tallwood Drive on Sept. 25.

Featuring photographs, artifacts and information on the growth of the city’s firefighting force – as well as their most significant exploits – the exhibit’s opening night was attended by members of Ottawa Fire Services.

Paul Henry, city archivist, said the exhibit is part of the archive’s exhibition program, which aims to “tell the interesting and compelling stories which emerge from the gathering of historic documentation.”

Ottawa fire chief John deHooge thanked everyone involved in the project “for their painstaking research and outstanding effort to showcase major fires and events that shaped our city and Ottawa Fire Services.”

“This is truly a proud moment for our service, said deHooge. “Not un-

like our dependence on world war veterans who remind us of their sacrifice to protect nations, we in the fire service rely on our veterans to tell of stories long past and experiences shared in battling these major fires that teach our younger members valuable lessons to keep our firefighters and citizens safe.

The lessons learned from decades of major fires and disasters shaped today’s modern Ottawa Fire Service. Our recent international accreditation, advances in firefighter and public safety, innovations in technology and our leading international effort to create fire dynamics curriculum are a few examples of how history has shaped our service.”

Early Ottawa was threatened just three years after Confederation by a sweeping forest fire that raged across hundreds of kilometres of

farmland, forest and fields.

The fledgling city was spared by a drastic measure taken at the last possible minute – the dam holding back the waters of Dow’s Lake was breached, creating a watery fireblock that stretched from the lake to the Ottawa River.

The city’s organized fire services arose from this close call, and the first firefighter to be killed in the line of duty fell in 1877.

In 1900, when a house fire in Hull spread to the vast lumber stockpiles near Chaudiere Falls on a windy spring morning, the firefighters of Ottawa leapt into action as the blaze entered and consumed Lebreton Flats.

That day, Ottawa firefighters were joined by civilian volunteers, military personnel and firefighters and equipment that arrived by rail from Montreal.

Wind direction, geography and

UNE OCCASION D’EXPLOITER UN MAGASIN-AGENCE S’OFFRE AUX COMMERÇANTS DE PIPERVILLE DEMANDE DE PROPOSITIONS LCBO DDP N° 2014-123 PIPERVILLE

hard work by firefighters prevented the entire city from being consumed by flames, though thousands were left homeless by the blaze and damage totalled well into the millions of dollars.

Phil Jenkins, an Ottawa-area historian and columnist, said that construction occurring on the modern-day Lebreton Flats uncovered an inch-deep layer of dark ash, a relic of the bustling industrial community that disappeared that day.

In classic Canadian storytelling style, Jenkins sang a folk song he penned about the 1900 fire.

The Great Fire of 1900 depicts a terrifying day in the city’s history where a “battle was fought all day” by anyone who was able and willing to man a bucket brigade.

The exhibit runs in the archive’s gallery until March 21, 2015.

BUY MORE, SAVE MORE

Une excellente occasion d’affaires s’offre aux détaillants de Piperville.

La Régie des alcools de l’Ontario (LCBO) recherche un détaillant responsable et soucieux du service à la clientèle pour exploiter un magasin-agence de la LCBO à Piperville.

Pour être admissible, vous devez exploiter un commerce de vente au détail déjà établi dans la localité et vous engager à respecter les lignes directrices de la LCBO. Pour faciliter la vente de boissons alcooliques, le candidat choisi pourrait avoir à conclure des ententes commerciales différentes avec la LCBO et avec les fournisseurs de bières canadiennes. Le candidat retenu devra également suivre un programme de formation spécial de la LCBO qui a trait à la responsabilité reliée à la vente des boissons alcooliques.

Depuis l962, la LCBO a autorisé plus de 200 magasins-agences qui desservent les localités qui ont demandé un service de vente d’alcool, mais dont la population est insuffisante pour y établir une succursale régulière de la LCBO ou un magasin de bière. Les magasins-agences sont confiés à des détaillants locaux et s’annexent à un commerce de détail existant. Le contrat d’un magasin-agence est normalement d’une durée de cinq ans. Au cours de la cinquième année d’exploitation d’un magasin-agence, la LCBO tient compte des nouveaux commerces établis dans la localité et donne à tous la chance de présenter leur candidature pour le prochain terme de cinq ans.

Un détaillant qui exploite un magasin-agence a la possibilité d’augmenter ses revenus en attirant une clientèle additionnelle tout en offrant aux citoyens de sa localité les produits et services de la LCBO. Un magasin-agence contribue également à l’économie de la localité souvent par la création de nouveaux emplois et par l’augmentation de l’achalandage chez les autres marchands locaux.

Algonquin College students welcome new Learjet Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

R0012927855-1009

News – It isn’t every day that the single-engine aircraft that frequent Rockliffe Airport share space with a jet, but that’s what arrived on Sept.

25.

At 11 a.m., a Learjet 35 inbound from Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport

touched down on the short runway behind the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, marking the last flight of the former air ambulance.

The 40-year-old aircraft won’t be serving as a museum display, rather, the airframe will help educate future aviation mechanics. Waiting on the tarmac to receive the jet were students from Algonquin College’s

aviation techniques-aircraft maintenance program.

Having the end of its service life, the Learjet is being donated to the school from Skyservice Air Ambulance of Dorval, Que. -- a suburb of Montreal. The process of acquiring the aircraft took a year, but was well worth it, said Algonquin professor Mark Ward.

“The solution and commitment was finally achieved about six weeks ago,” said Ward.

“This airplane has hit the end of its useful life – all airplanes have a limit to how long they can fly - but there’s still a lot of value in the airplane even as it sits. There’s a lot of parts that are still usable. Rather than strip it down to parts as other airplanes are done, they decided to donate it to the college as a charitable donation.”

Ward’s students won’t get the full breadth of knowledge out of the plane until the program is expanded to a two-year format, which the college is in the process of developing.

Once established, second-year students in the program will study everything from flight controls and related systems, to landing gear and

for at least the next 30 years,” said Ward.

“The Lears have been flying since the mid 1960s … they’re still building a modern version of this same airplane, and in all likelihood they’ll still be building them for another 20 or 30 years. The airplane itself may be old, but the technology and everything that went into it – is the benchmark in business aviation to this day.”

hydraulic systems.

This example of the popular business jet, dating from the early 1970s, features upgraded engines and capabilities that set it apart from the original Learjet model that first flew in the mid-1960s. Ward is confident the technology present in the college’s new airplane will be able to guide students for years, and decades, to come.
