Perley Rideau pushes for awareness with push ups

Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A peaceful night’s rest was often hard to come by for George Roper in the years after he served during the Second World War. Nightmares haunted him.

“You wake up in the middle of the night,” recalled Roper, 92. “You’re right out of it and talking about things. Killing people doesn’t

come naturally to you.”

Today, Roper is open about the post-traumatic stress disorder he grappled with in the aftermath of the war years, though there was no medical help for it in those days.

His experiences, in part, inspired him to grip the arms of his walker and carry through with 22 squats in his room at the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre

on Aug. 24, coinciding with the centre’s launch of its participation in the 22 Push Ups – 22 Days Challenge.

Staff, volunteers and relatives of residents gathered to kick off the challenge, which is now affiliated with Wounded Warriors Canada and to shine a spotlight on suicide rates among military members, veterans and first responders.

New after-school programs beginning this fall aim to prevent at-risk youth aged 13 to 14 from taking the wrong path into crime.

The Ontario Trillium Foundation is providing a three-

year $600,400 grant to the Ottawa Community Housing Foundation for a youth outreach program called Keeping Youth Connected. The 15 different community houses will distribute the program across the city. Previous programming offered at the community houses was only for youth

aged six to 12.

The announcement was made Aug. 26 at the Debra Dynes Family House.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

“This will go a long way in making that difference and is one of the largest Trillium

Foundation investments ever made in the province of Ontario,” said Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi of the funds for the program.

“Your application, your energy, your idea was something we just could not say no to.”

City one step closer to banning hookahs, water pipes in public industry at a community and protective services meeting on Aug. 25 in hopes of avoiding an outright ban of hookahs and water pipes in public places.

The Ottawa Board of Health approved the ban on June 20.

Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A total ban on shisha cafés will kill her business, said Julia Moussa of the Bay Rock Café.

Moussa spoke in defence of the

The new bylaw would mean that water pipes and hookahs would be banned where smoking is not allowed – spelling trouble for the 17 shops and cafés that make their living selling shisha and provide a place for people to smoke hookahs.

Moussa said the city could solve a lot of their issues with regulations, rather than an outright ban.

She said the city should be more concerned with the harmful impacts or alcohol or unhealthy eating than shisha. But the committee voted in favour of the ban.

The only dissenting vote was that of Osgoode Coun. George Darouze.

“Every day people do things that are unhealthy for them,” Darouze said.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli was also skeptical, asking several presenters for evidence that secondhand smoke in the cafés is harmful.

Chiarelli compared the smoke to the impact of the oven at Kettleman’s Bagels and indoor barbecues at burger joints.

The city’s chief medical officer of health, Dr. Isra Levy, said ventila-

tion wouldn’t be sufficient to deal with the risks from second-hand smoke from hookahs.

He also expressed concern about the message the city would send if it allows the establishments to continue operating.

“It would send the message that shisha is safe when it isn’t,” Levy said.

Council will have a chance to vote on the ban on Aug. 31. If it passes, then staff would begin an education campaign to affected businesses.

In December, bylaw services could begin issuing warnings. Staff said they’d have get authority from the province to issue fines once the bylaw is in place. In Toronto, a first offence is around $300. The fine could be given to the business owner, individuals or both. Charges could be laid beginning in April.

Diverting youth from taking the wrong path

Thank You: Gloucester-Southgate Family Movie Night

The funds will be used to pay for staff, as well as the cost of hosting workshops and buying supplies for the program.

Shelton Gandé, 16, and Israel Panda, 15, were both involved in the programs at the Debra Dynes Family House until they aged out of what was being offered. It wasn’t until a few years later that they were able to help with the programming as volunteer co-ordinators.

They both have siblings that will benefit from the new programs.

“When this neighbourhood wasn’t really as vibrant as it is today, it was easy for kids to go down the wrong path,” Gandé said. “Some of my friends they went down the wrong path and now I don’t see them anymore, and thanks to the family house, it kept me on the right path and gave me opportunities and gave me a chance to just be me.”

Panda added, “And at that age you really want to go outside and discover the world, but you may not end up at the right place. It’s really good to put a program in that spot so it keeps you away from that.”

According to Sylvie Manser, chair of the Ottawa Coalition of Community Houses and executive director of the Banff Avenue Community House, the programming will focus on providing life skill development, and social, recreational and academic support.

Staff training has begun and some of the new programs begin Sept. 12. The target for the program is 100 youth per school year, but they expect upwards of 200 will get involved.

Beth Tooley, project co-ordinator for the coalition, said the community houses have strong offerings for six to 12 year olds.

“We were losing them at that 13to 14 year-old stage. That’s when they get involved in gangs and have their first interactions with police, so it was really getting a safety net around them during those years,” Tooley said of the Keeping Youth Connected program.

“It’s long been a problem and now it’s a priority.”

Call for Proposed Traffic Calming Locations in Ward 10 Traffic safety is of the utmost importance to me, and is a concern that I often hear from residents. Through the City’s Strategic Initiative process, the Temporary Traffic Calming Measures Program was created to assist in addressing community concerns more effectively.

Through this program, a compilation of temporary and seasonal traffic calming solutions has become more readily available to communities to help reduce roadway speeds, particularly on local roads.

Some of these measures include seasonal flex-stakes, pole mounted speed display boards, traffic calming signage, and pavement markings. I recognize that these measures are not permanent solutions, but all have proven to be effective in reducing roadway speeds.

Through comments received from residents, I have already made use of this program this past spring and summer.

I’d like to hear from residents who have speeding problems on their street so I can compile an updated list of prioritized roads. To submit your street for consideration, please contact my office at diane.deans@ottawa.ca or call 613-580-2480.

sored by Walmart Canada, a champion has the unique opportunity to advocate for the hospital and encourage people to donate to the CHEO Foundation.

Jacob said he intends to take the job seriously and although he finds it hard to pick one thing about the hospital he loves (he loves everything) he is quick to say they saved his life.

“CHEO is my life. CHEO is one of the best hospitals ever. The doctors and nurses are amazing,” Jacob said. Jacob will also travel to Orlando, Florida, to be part of a Children’s Miracle Network Momentum conference at Disney World. There Jacob will have a chance to meet other champions from pediatric hospitals across North America.

“You might ask, ‘Why 22 push-ups for 22 days?’� Akos Hoffer, chief executive of the Perley Rideau, said during the event. “In the U.S. there are 22 veterans a day that commit suicide and in Canada we have lost 160 veterans to suicide between 2004 and (March) 2014.�

It was only natural for the centre to get behind the awareness campaign and show support for those who are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Of the 450 residents who live at the Perley Rideau, 250 are military veterans. “So we are no strangers to PTSD in the way that we care for our residents,� Hof-

fer said, adding that his staff identify early on any traumatic life events residents may have experienced so that appropriate care can be provided. “At the end of the day, we have to take an individualized approach to care,� he said.

JOINING IN

Landon Brady and Frank Chamberlain, both maintenance workers at the centre, then did 22 push-ups each.

Others quickly followed to do the same. One woman did 22 tai chi movements, another did 22 leg lifts, and a resident and staff member did 22 hand-clapping gestures together.

Now they hope to inspire

others to take part and post videos of themselves doing the challenge on the centre’s Facebook page every day over the coming weeks.

Before doing 22 push-ups himself, Dr. Benoit Robert, Perley Rideau’s medical director, issued a friendly push-up challenge to area politicians Alta Vista Coun.

Jean Cloutier, Ottawa South MPP John Fraser and Ottawa South MP David McGuinty. “I am in family practice and I have first responders who have post-traumatic stress,� said Robert, who has a practice in Greenboro and is also medical co-director of the Glebe Centre’s dementia program.

PTSD takes a toll

CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT RIVERSIDE SOUTH MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN UPDATE RIDEAU RIVER STUDY AREA REVISED NOTICE OF COMPLETION In September 2008, the City of Ottawa completed the Riverside South Community Master Drainage Plan Update (MDPU) and Riverside South Community Infrastructure Servicing Study Update (ISSU) in support of the Riverside South Community Design Plan (CDP). The study was part of a Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to review infrastructure servicing alternatives for the Riverside South Community area of Ottawa. The final MDPU identified the preferred stormwater management alternative.

“It’s much more prevalent and people just suffer in silence,” Robert said.

Research estimates 10 to 15 per cent of Canadian veterans return home from conflict zones with PTSD, Robert said, adding that awareness is needed to help more people understand the toll of PTSD on the military, first responders and trauma victims.

“We’ll see a lot more of that with the Syrian refugees,” he said. “I’m sure certain scenes will trigger memories and feelings of being under control and under fire.”

“You’d never know we were in a war (because of) the secrecy about us,” said Roper, who has lived at the Perley Rideau for about two years.

He flew many missions with his fellow airmen, including during D-Day and the Battle of Normandy.

Roper becameas a psychologist, conducting research in Montreal and helping set up Canada’s first rural psychiatric clinic in Digby, N.S. When he first heard about the 22 Push Ups Challenge, Roper thought it was only fitting he do his part.

“I worked with so many,” Roper said, adding that very few veterans who returned home from the war – himself included – spoke about the trauma they had lived through.

“That was the problem,” he said.

In October 2012, the City of Ottawa released revised sewer design guidelines with new criteria for stormwater management and storm sewer design. In addition, changes to the City of Ottawa Official Plan are promoting increased density of development and significant land use changes.

An update to the CDP was initiated in 2014 and finalized in 2016 to reflect land use, density, and transportation changes.

To supplement the CDP, an update to the MDPU was completed to review the overall drainage plan for the study area that integrates with and enhances the natural environment of the study area. The update was divided into two study areas based on the receiving watercourse; directly to the Rideau River or to Mosquito Creek via proposed stormwater management facilities. This notice pertains to the MDPU Report for areas draining to the Rideau River “Rideau River Study Area” which presents an update to the existing natural environment of the study area as well as recommends a preferred stormwater management strategy for the proposed Riverside South Community.

By this Notice, the 2016 MDPU is being placed on the public record in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, as amended 2007, 2011 and 2015). Please note that only the changes proposed in the MDPU are open for review.

OPINION

Connected to your community

City and police agree to keep public in the dark

I

t’s funny how those whose paycheques are paid for by the public hate it when the public gets a glimpse into the inner workings of their operations.

How else can residents of Ottawa take the comments that have been coming from the mayor and the police chief when it comes to the internal strife going on within this city’s police force.

On Aug. 25, just a day after a protest in front of police headquarters demanding justice in the case of Abdirahman Abdi, a Somali man who died after a confrontation with police in the city, the mayor, police chief, police union head and police board chair gathered in private to clear the air over what appears to be ongoing dissension within police ranks.

After that closed door meeting, the mayor emerged to concede the meeting wasn’t a “love-in�, but said they all agreed to work together to solve any issues within the force.

But, and this is the key for those in the public, they will do this working together like they held their meeting, behind closed doors and out of public view. “Our members have a very difficult job to do out there. It’s been compounded by some of the very public discussion that has been taking place within the media,� said

Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau. “We all agree that these conversations have no place in the public forum.�

Good to know that they all agree that the city’s police force’s internal issues are nobody’s business but theirs.

The internal discord came to light last March, when Const. Paul Heffler sent a letter to his colleagues criticizing senior staff for treating rank-and-file officers like “dime store security guards.�

Since then, Ottawa Police Association president Matt Skof has been publicly vocal about several police board decisions, including a plan to fold community officers into a patrol unit. He has even called for the police board’s chair to resign. And that prompted Watson to say that any cops that are unhappy with their jobs should quit.

There’s no doubt residents would like to know issues causing internal strife within their police department are addressed. Unfortunately, residents of the city will now have to sit back and wait for the mayor, police chief, police association and police board chair to deem them worthy of knowing what is going on once they have decided what is appropriate to let their bosses — the public — know.

New pedestrian bridge might be good solution

A

t first glance, you might be a bit disappointed that some of the big federal transportation money announced for Ottawa last week was for a pedestrian bridge.

There was money for trains, buses, design, transit structures, and so on.

But how does a pedestrian bridge help ease our congestion woes, you might ask.

Well, it makes big sense the more you think about it. The more people walk, the fewer people drive and this bridge — over the Rideau Canal linking Fifth and Clegg avenues — will get more people walking to a venue where traffic is always an issue, Lansdowne Park.

The Corktown Footbridge linking the University of Ottawa and Centretown has made life more convenient for residents of both

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town areas. You can tell by how many people are using it, at all hours of the day.

We have also seen, in the AdĂ we Crossing over the Rideau River between Sandy Hill and Overbrook, how positive it can be to give people the opportunity to get from one neighbourhood to another without having to get in a car. A pedestrian bridge to Lansdowne could enliven the place, which often seems woefully underpopulated in the days between major sports or entertainment events.

Supporters of Lansdowne insist

that parking is not a problem there, that ample on-site parking exists, but the relevant fact is that people think parking is a problem and that keeps some of them away.

Many of them will be happy to walk to Lansdowne, if given the opportunity.

A new bridge has the additional benefit of bringing people from one neighbourhood into another that they don’t normally walk to.

Who knows what can result from that, bringing Glebeites into touch with folks from Ottawa East?

Certainly nothing bad.

In a more general sense, footbridges turn cities in a more liveable direction. In any city, and certainly in ours, the best neighbourhoods are those where people can get what they need, do what they want to do, on foot or with a bicycle.

Although everybody seems to

understand this, in the abstract, we have somehow been moving in the wrong direction for years, putting up residential developments with no stores nearby, building huge superstores great distances away from the people who use them, allowing small neighbourhood stores to be driven out of business by overpowering competitors, not to mention high rents and increasing property taxes.

Those neighbourhood stores have a better chance of surviving if people are nearby and able to get to them easily. Widening the Queensway does nothing for this.

The next few years will see major changes in the way people get around, with light rail causing shifts in where people choose to live and how they choose to get from here to there. Or at least that’s the hope.

When you consider all those changes, adding one more footbridge is not a dramatic initiative, to be sure. But dramatic steps have not been getting us anywhere.

Maybe small steps are worth a try.

Look at how significant the small undertaking of creating downtown bike lanes has been.

If cities are to survive and thrive past the age of vehicular strangulation, there have to be more people on foot.

So any money devoted to this most ancient form of transportation is money well spent.

The City of Ottawa has completed the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the Airport Parkway (Brookfield Road to Ottawa MacdonaldCartier International Airport) and Lester Road Widening (Airport Parkway to Bank Street). This Study was carried out in accordance with the requirements for a Schedule ‘C’ project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (October 2000, as amended 2007, 2011 and 2015).

An Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been prepared to document the planning and design process and the recommended plan for widening of the corridors. The ESR is available for public review at the following locations during regular business hours for a period of 30 calendar days, starting on September 9, 2016.

t’s that time of year again – time to sign the kids up for extracurricular activities!

I mapped out a schedule. I marked the opening day of online registration for the City of Ottawa and other clubs. I did a budget. I planned out equipment required.

Only then did I ask the kids what they wanted to do.

“Nothing in September, mom,” said my 10-year-old. “I’ll be too tired adjusting to school hours and homework.”

But, I protested, didn’t he need a physical outlet, a creative outlet or an opportunity to excel in soccer in the off-season?

“I can play soccer at the park, mom,” he said.

I tried the other son.

“I don’t want to do anything, mom,” said my 11-year-old. “I already have football 10 hours a week until November.”

Oh yeah! I had forgotten about that one. Tricky.

What about swimming lessons? They wouldn’t want to lose the momentum from last spring and a summer in lakes. Didn’t they want to push through to the next level?

“No, thanks,” was the unanimous reply.

My daughter would love to do ballet, piano, soccer and swimming. But she’s too young to engage in extracurricular.

She’ll have a hard enough time adapting to school days without a nap. I put a line through her name.

I thought about signing myself up for French language training, adult swimming lessons and yoga. But I realized I have a full slate of client work and barely enough time to get to the gym every day as it is.

So there I was, logged into every site imaginable, credit card in hand and nothing to register.

Like any modern mom, my brain started questioning if it’s a good idea to skip a season of extracurricular activities.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Put human rights above cash To the editor:

It is fascinating how some minds in Ottawa think. Algonquin College sets up a college program for men only in a country that commits severe human rights

violations, is deeply unethical in its treatment of women and is engaging in war crimes with its neighbour.

And despite criticisms from the public and its own students and staff, it is only leaving Saudi Arabia now

because the campus wasn’t financially viable.

This is shameful.

It would be nice to have family dinners again after spending five summer nights per week on a field over the supper hour.

It would be great for them to have time to play at the park on warm Sep-

It would be pleasing to save tuition money for music lessons, swimming fees and other costs for a season.

With feelings of uncertainty still lurking, I logged off the online registrations.

Retired teacher charged with alleged sexual assault of teens Megan DeLaire

FILE

Police have charged retired teacher Donald Greenham with 14 offences in relation to incidents of sexual assault which allegedly took place between 1970 and 1982.

mdelaire@metroland.com

A 73-year-old Ottawa man faces 14 criminal charges following an investigation into claims he sexually assaulted four teenagers when he was a teacher between 1970 and 1982.

Police with the sexual assault and child abuse unit arrested and charged Donald Greenham with 14 offenses including gross indecency, indecent assault on a male and indecent assault on a female – as per criminal code charges existing at the time of the alleged crimes – on Aug. 22.

He was scheduled to appear in court for a bail hearing that day.

The charges came following an investigation that began on June 20 after one of the four victims reported the abuse to police.

Greenham is alleged to have assaulted three males and one female, ranging in

age from 14 to 17 years old, between 1970 and 1982 while employed as a teacher and coach by the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board.

Although police did not specify at which schools Greenham taught and coached, archived news coverage of Bell High School’s senior basketball team lists Greenham as the senior team’s coach for the years 1980 and 1982.

Former students of Greenham’s have said he also coached the boys’ lacrosse team at Bell High School,

and served as a guidance counselor at Greenbank Middle School and Bayshore Public School.

According to the public register of the Ontario College of Teachers, Greenham earned his teaching certificate in Ottawa in 1964 and retired in 2013.

Police continue to investigate, and are concerned that there may be more victims involved.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the sexual assault and child abuse unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944.

From every walk of life, people came to fill Notre-Dame Cathedral on Aug. 27, a final chance to say goodbye to MP Mauril Belanger.

neral ceremony concluded with a rendition of O Canada with his suggested words; “in all of us command,” in place of “in all our sons command.”

Those who worked alongside Belanger remembered him as always willing to help his constituents, as well as the wider Franco-Ontarian community.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke during the funeral ceremony, sharing memories of his time with Belanger and some of their banter.

FRANCO-ONTARIAN

Trudeau said Belanger “never passed on an opportunity to point out to me that because I was born in Ottawa ... that truly makes me a Franco-Ontarian.”

The prime minister said Belanger’s efforts to change the national anthem to be gender neutral means his work will live on, “every time they stand in a classroom or at a hockey game and sing our national anthem in both official languages.”

Trudeau added, “Merci Mauril.”

MENTORSHIP

Following the service, rookie Liberal MP Anita Vandenbeld said Belanger invited all the Liberal candidates to his office once a week during the long campaign so the wouldbe MPs could “decompress.”

“He really provided mentorship and support,” Vandenbeld said. “He was a very good friend and we still needed him. We’ll miss him a lot.”

Increased Funding for Ottawa Hospital Renewal As the MPP for Ottawa South, I am happy to announce that Ontario will be increasing its funding for hospital infrastructure renewal across the province by $50 million in 2016-17. This amounts to an investment of $175 million to keep Ontario’s hospitals in a state of good repair so that patients can continue to receive high-quality care in a safe and healthy environment.

As a part of this investment, more than $12.3 million will be going directly to 6 hospitals across Ottawa through the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund (HIRF) for repairs and upgrades. These investments include $6,725,609 for the Ottawa Hospital, $3,602,487 for Bruyère Continuing Care Inc., $964,974 for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, $480,733 for the Queensway Carleton Hospital, $470,000 for the Hôpital Montfort, and $139,759 for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.

This funding will help address the critical need for hospital repairs across the province and support crucial infrastructure projects to extend the useful life and improve the quality of their facilities.

Increased investment in health care is part of the government’s plan to build a better Ontario through its Patients First: Action Plan for Health Care. This plan provides patients with faster access to the right care, better home and community care, the information they need to live healthy, and a health care system that is sustainable for generations to come.

WE ARE HERE TO HELP Please feel free to contact me at my community office if there are any provincial issues I can assist you with.

My staff and I will always do our best to help you.

Dandelion wine a fact of life at Mary’s house

And then after he figured they had been sitting there long enough, he scrubbed his hands until they were red (Mother saw to that), then squeezed hands full of the leaves until they were almost dry, piled them on a tray, emptied the water out of the crock, and dumped the mess into the largest cooking pot Mother had in the house. The pot was put on the stove, and I have no idea where the moisture came from, but within minutes you could hear We put the newly picked leaves in one of Mother’s clothes hampers, and it would the soggy dandelions simmering.

He layered the leaves ing. Father cut them into thin slices and as if they were tiny pieces of paper until added them to the simmering pot, with a the crock was almost full. We had a lot of few good dashes of ginger out of a Rawdandelions on the farm! Then he would leigh’s tin from the cupboard. I could see take the big preserving kettle, which had been simmering away on the Findlay Oval, Mother flinch as Father dumped a brown and cover the leaves with the boiling water. paper bag of sugar into the pot too. Then Father would go to his rocking chair, light Some would float to the top, so Father his pipe, open the Ottawa Farm would anchor them with a dinner plate Journal, and wait. Finally, the pot was with a well scrubbed flat iron on top to hold everything down. Then the crock was hauled to the bake table, and let cool right down until Father could add some yeast, moved to the bake table, where it sat for which was bought to make bread and a few days, sending musty smells through sticky buns. I knew Mother wasn’t at all the whole house, which I hated. pleased at all the money that went into Father never once looked in the crock Father’s dandelion wine. while the leaves were slowly fermenting.

And there the crock would sit for days, “Don’t want to disturb them,” he’d say. while it fermented to Father’s liking. Often he would take a spoon, dip it into the crock and say, “By gar, that’s good let me tell you.”

Finally, after what Mother said the whole house smelled like a brewery, Father strained it, bottled it, and it would be moved to the cellar.

All the time Father was making his wine, I would wonder if there would be a repeat performance of the two times never to be forgotten over the dandelion wine. Once, just sitting in the kitchen one night, minding our own business, we heard what sounded like gunfire coming from the depths of the house. Father knew immediately what had happened, and rushed clothing and they will soon but isn’t that one of the basic outside and down into the cellar to be going on their next trip to contributions of success?

And only the most tender part of the plants, the new leafs, making it easier for Father to cull through them, picking out only what he considered perfect for the job at hand.

Eventually, the shelves in the cellar would have bottles of dandelion wine sitting right next to Mother’s cucumber pickles and raspberry preserves. And if it wasn’t for Uncle Herby bringing bottles from Bronfman’s Distillery where he worked in Montreal (sometimes full of what was brewed there, and sometimes just empty bottles for Father), he would have had to use any jars Mother hadn’t already put down on the shelf in the cellar.

So by the time the wine was bottled, you wouldn’t know if it had been made in our kitchen out at Northcote, or bought from a real store, if there was such a place.

Certainly, I never knew Father to come home with a bottle of liqueur for which he would have to spend hard earned money! Dandelion wine, and homemade beer were just a fact of life at our house in Northcote.

EMA LEE FASHIONS CELEBRATES THIRTEEN YEARS! The number thirteen may be unlucky to some but at Ema Lee Fashions it’s the very opposite. The store has grown into a flourishing, well known success!

The Main building was built in the 1850’s. It was once a hotel owned by Angus McDonald and in 1858 he opened the first post office in the village. It later became a general store and presently for the past thirteen years Ema Lee Fashions Ladies Clothing Store. Located seven kilometers north of Perth on Hwy 511 in the hamlet of Downtown Balderson.

The store is known far and wide for its vast selection of name brand swim suits which are carried in the store all year round, ladies apparel and purses. They also carry a clothing on line instead of large selection of men’s shirts going through all of the work.

The response is, you can’t feel and polos. the quality or see the true Emily Desjardine and Gerry colours of the clothing on line.

Italian-Canadian groups organize response to earthquake in Italy Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

About 15 minutes after Luciano Bentenuto found out about the 6.2 magnitude earthquake in Italy on Aug. 23 that killed 290 people he’s been working on a local response.

The epicentre of the earthquake was in Amatrice. Bentenuto, president of the National Federation of Italian-Canadians, who visited the region about three weeks ago, said normally there are only a few hundred residents, but this time of year is high season for tourists and a couple of thousand people were in the area.

Bentenuto’s family also lives in the region hit by the earthquake.

“I’m very close to this; all my family is from that region, all accounted for God bless. So obviously when it happened, since I’ve been there, it didn’t take long for them to start connecting,” Bentenuto said.

Now he’s trying to streamline the response from Canadians, especially those with connections to family and friends living in Italy looking to help.

“We are starting up a national fundraiser right now,” Bentenuto said. “A lot of organizations exist in Canada that help out the Italian community, so what we are trying to do is consolidate that into one

main stream for the whole country.”

And it didn’t take long for Italian Canadians to look for ways to help.

“To be honest right now I’m pretty proud to be an Italian Canadian – people are just flocking to see what they can do,” he said. One of the first things put out on the National Federation of Italian Canadians’ social media channels was for Canadians travelling in the area, and in all of Italy to donate blood.

Bentenuto said he didn’t want people sending clothes while locals are still recovering bodies.

NOT THE FIRST TIME

He added what the region really needs right now is for roads and bridges to be cleared so emergency responders can reach those most in need.

This isn’t the first time that region has been hit by an earthquake.

Hearing the news of the recent disaster brought Josephine Palumbo, president of the National Congress of Italian Canadians’ Ottawa chapter, back to 2009 and what is known as the L’Aquila earthquake in the same area of Italy.

“It touches the heart,” she said of the news. “The one thing about 2009 that resonates is the resilience and the strength of the Italian peo-

ple in the face of adversity.”

Palumbo visited the tent camps in 2009 and it was the victims’ strength, courage and generosity she remembers most.

“I know the Italians are a very resilient and very strong people, so

it’s obviously a sad time for us,” Palumbo said.

BACK to CLASS FALL REGISTRATION Renew back to school wardrobe the economical way Fall can be an expensive time of year. Back to school fashions and cool weather requirements mean stocking up the wardrobe. To keep things fresh and interesting for your children, all while taking care of your budget, be a resourceful shopper.

First of all, check to see what you can keep for another fall before you replace everything, especially fall jackets, hat and mitt sets, and sweaters.

Stylists suggest taking a good look at summer clothes before putting them away until next year. Some summer items are suitable for coordinating with fall cloth-

ing. Belts or accessories, for example, can be worn with warmer textured, winter fabrics. For a fall look that makes sense, keep it to 30 percent light, colourful, or flowered items for 70 percent of winter clothes.

Before hitting the stores, make a list of the key clothing items you will need.

These can be used as basics that can be coordinated with just about anything else. Staples for your family’s wardrobe might include a wellcut black jacket for teenage boys, neutral coloured pants for little boys, and all-purpose grey leggings for little girls. Closets should only

contain a limited number of flamboyant, multicoloured items, as such styles quickly become outmoded or their owners soon tire of them.

Don’t be shy about asking family and friends if they have hand-me-downs in good shape for your children. It’s a great way to recycle, and it’s easy on the wallet. Likewise, if your closets contain clothes that are past their best, taking them to a dressmaker might give them new life. And those items that no longer suit your needs or sizes can be brought to a local used clothing store for resale or for fabric recycling.

To renew your family’s style, rely on a few basics. Well-chosen, good quality clothes last longer and can be easily coordinated with other items.

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION Find the right backpack The purchase of a backpack at the beginning of a new school year is an important one. When kids tote books and gear back and forth from school, their backs can suffer the consequences, including muscle strain that induces headaches and sore necks. Here are a few rules to follow to help your child avoid backpack-related health problems.

The quality of the backpack is much more important than a fashionable brand name. Backpacks have to be replaced often because of the changing size of their owners, and since they will likely only be used for a year or two, there’s no need to pay astronomical prices.

Make sure your child’s backpack is the appropriate size for their height. It shouldn’t exceed the width of the child’s back, nor the

height of the shoulders. Packs that are too big can cause back problems because of improper distribution of weight through the straps. Even for an older child, accompany him to choose a backpack so you can make sure it fits.

The backpack must be welladjusted, fitting closely to the child’s back. It should be attached high on the shoulders and be equipped with padded straps large enough to spread the weight evenly. In addition, the straps should always be easy to adjust. If the bag has plenty of compartments, your child will be able to spread the weight evenly throughout the backpack and reduce discomfort in the back and shoulders. The most important thing is to not overload the backpack, which should only be used to carry essential items back and forth to school.

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION Joy of reading is a gift to children Sharing with your children the joy of reading is to offer them the most beautiful gift in the world: an open door to wonder and imagination, which they will be able to enjoy for the rest of their lives. There is no need to wait: research shows that children experience more academic success when the pleasures of words and reading are kindled before they start school.

It is important, of course, to adapt the reading material to the age of the child. From zero to 2 years, babies will literally devour their books!

Baby books must be very

durable and, ideally, washable. As soon as babies can focus on an image, sharing a book together with a parent is a great way to spend time together.

From three to five years, children start to be interested in stories with a narrative.

Toddlers are likely to ask you to read them the same book night after night.

Comply without grumbling, because a passion is being born! Preschoolers, on the other hand, usually appreciate a variety of stories and illustrations.

When they are schoolage, continue to read to your

children, even if they already know how to read alone.

Then, gradually, take it in turns to read in order to encourage their progress. In addition to readers sent home from school, visit your local library as well so that you children can have access to a wider variety of books.

An enjoyable outing to the library can be an incentive to read in itself.

Last but not least, if they see you reading and hear you talking passionately about the books that you read, your children will almost inevitably grow up with a desire to do the same.

Research shows that children experience more academic success when they are exposed to books and stories before they start school.

Three things to look for when getting student tech Whether you’re a techie glued to your desktop at all hours of the day or simply need a device to edit documents and watch pixel perfect video, everyone needs respectable computer equipment.

Chances are, the monitor you’re using right now came bundled with the desktop PC you bought a couple of years ago.

But did you know there are new models that can dramatically improve your productivity and viewing experience?

Since you probably spend hours every day looking at your monitor, take advantage of back-to-school time and sales to research which features experts recommend looking for.

1. Multi-tasking: You can resize windows and use split screen, which divides the display into multiple sections for different tasks. Advanced options include state-of-the-art display features like four types of picture-in picture multiple window displays, so you can easily work on several documents at a time or type notes while watching presentations or videos. Gamers will delight with game mode, which offers optimal first person shooter and real-time strategy settings.

Freesync also provides seamless movement between the graphic card’s frame rate and the monitor’s refresh rate.

2. 4K Resolution and colour accuracy: 4K monitors offer four times the resolution of full HD, and are a musthave for creative students and design and photography professionals. These monitors have exceptional detail and are well-suited for tasks where shadow, grayscale, and crisp colour fine points are essential. Additionally, the higher the resolution, the more information that can be displayed on the screen. A curved screen also delivers an immersive experience.

3. Size: PC monitors generally run anywhere from 17 to 34 inches. If you’re looking to replace a dual-screen system, consider buying a wider single monitor, like the new 21:9 monitor from LG that features an ultra-wide screen so you can view more. It offers enough real estate to ensure that you can watch videos while viewing multi-page documents in tiled or side-by-side formats.

Tips on how to handle school anxiety Getting ready for a new school year can be exciting for parents, children, and caregivers alike.

But it’s often also a cause of stress and anxiety because of the change in routine, increased responsibilities as well as new teachers, friends, and classes.

And whether your kids are heading off to kindergarten, elementary school, high school or college, leaving the safety and familiarity of home can prompt feelings of fear.

Avoid feeling overwhelmed with these simple expert tips to relieve stress — they’re easy to follow and can be explained and practiced by parents and kids of all ages.: 1. SCHEDULE IN “ME TIME”

No matter how busy you are, make some time every day for something that brings you joy, even if the most you can squeeze in is 15 minutes.

Read a book or gossip magazine. Watch silly cat videos on YouTube.

Call your best friend for a good laugh. You’ll be surprised at the difference this small amount

of dedicated time makes to your happiness and stress levels.

2. TAKE A DEEP BREATH.

Many of us normally practice shallow “chest breathing,” which limits the diaphragm’s range of motion and decreases the amount of oxygenated air our lungs receive which can causes shortness of breath and anxiety.

Deep “belly breathing” — when your stomach rises with each intake of air through your nose — ensures that each inhale fully fills your lungs with oxygenated air.

Apart from increasing feelings of relaxation, deep breathing slows the heartbeat, decreases muscle tension, and lowers or stabilizes blood pressure.

3. PRACTICE POSITIVE SELF-TALK

Tell yourself you have enough time, patience, energy, and resources to tackle the school year ahead and any challenges it brings.

Remind yourself of what really matters, and all the good things in your life.

4. DEVELOP HEALTHY HABITS

We all know the basics, but we can use a reminder from time to time — exercise to increase endorphins and feelings of well-being; eat a healthy, balanced diet; and make sure to get enough sleep.

5. REACH OUT IF YOU NEED HELP

If you’re constantly feeling anxious or are having difficulty with your everyday activities, don’t be ashamed to voice your emotions and seek help from a loved one or healthcare professional. For a homeopathic solution, a medicine like Sédatil is effective in helping you and your body cope with stress and the side effects of physical and emotional tension including nervousness, hypersensitivity, and irritability.

It’s also available in chewable tablets without a prescription.

Caring and Sharing Exchange still grappling with waiting list Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Since the Caring and Sharing Exchange issued a public appeal to help deal with a 33 per cent increase in demand for school supplies, the community has stepped up, says Megan O’Meara.

The charity, which operates Sharing in Student Success, packed hundreds of backpacks at the Westgate Shopping Centre on Aug.

23 thanks to the help of volunteers.

A week before the packing event, the charity still had more than 800 kids on their waiting list and a total of 2,104 requests for backpacks.

On Aug. 23, the number on the waiting list was down to 300.

Cindy Smith, the organization’s executive director, said she was optimistic about the chances of eliminating the waiting list.

“Just last week our waiting list was more than 850 kids, but thanks

to the community’s help, this number has dropped significantly,” said Smith.

Smith said the increased demand could at least be partially linked to the influx of Syrian Refugees into the capital.

The Somali Centre for Family Services requests backpacks from the SISS program for their clients, and they have seen a massive leap in requests that they feel has been caused by the influx of Syrian refu-

“Just last week our waiting list was more than 850 kids, but thanks to the community’s help, this number has dropped significantly.”

gees, according to Smith.

Last year, the centre requested assistance for 63 children. This year, the number was nearly five

times that, reaching 300 children.

According to a press release from the exchange, one in five children in Ottawa live in poverty.

Football showdown: Panda Game returns to TD Place Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com

The Ravens and Gee-Gees will fight for bragging rights on Lansdowne’s football field once again this October.

The annual Panda Game will take place at Lansdowne’s TD Place on Oct. 1, where the two

long-time rivals, the Carleton University Ravens and the Ottawa University Gee-Gees, will take to the field in the latest edition of the Panda Game.

Tickets for the game went on sale on Aug. 25 and are available at TDplace.ca, by calling 613-2326767, ext. 1, or in person at the TD Place box office.

Named after a stuffed panda mascot called Pedro the Panda, which later turned into a trophy, the first game was played at Lansdowne Park in 1955 and continued annually at the park until the 1998 season.

The popular game returned to the Ottawa sports scene after a long absence in 2013, when the Ra-

vens football program was revived and the school started to field a team again.

Last year’s event saw more than 17,000 people come out to watch the rivals duke it out on the gridiron – the largest crowd at a regular season Canadian Interuniversity Sport last year.

“Panda is a such a special game

in Ottawa with its rich tradition and national appeal, it makes for one of the highlights of the fall football schedule,” said Ravens head coach Steve Sumarah.

“The crowds continue to grow and the support from the two universities and the local community is second to none, making it a can’t miss event.”

Forever a Sen: Alfie’s No. 11 to be retired

JASPER

Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

History will be made on Dec. 29 when the Ottawa Senators retire a jersey for the first time in the team’s modern run.

Daniel Alfredsson’s No. 11 will be BRIER DODGE/METROLAND Daniel Alfredsson speaks at the Canadian Tire Centre raised to the rafters at the Canadian on Aug. 16. The former Ottawa Senators captain will Tire Centre during an NHL game have his No. 11 retired by the hockey team during against the Detroit Red Wings, the team he played his final hockey seathe upcoming NHL season. son with.

He signed a one-day contract with the Senators on Dec. 4, 2014, in order to formally retire as a Senator.

“I think you get a little bit of a different perspective after you retire,” Alfredsson said at an Aug. 16 press conference at the Canadian Tire Centre. “It’s honouring, extremely flattering, and it brings back a lot of memories.”

The former Senators’ player, who is now a member of the team’s front office, has some impressive statistics. He played from 1995 to 2013 with the Senators, wearing the captain’s ‘C’ for many of them and is the franchise leader in points and goals.

“As a captain of the team for 13 years, he is our franchise’s longest serving captain,” said club owner NEW Eugene Melnyk. !

“Daniel is also a three-time winner of major NHL awards, an allstar for the NHL, and an Olympic champion … and some of Daniel’s greatest moments with our team have happened off the ice.”

Alfredsson said the game against the Detroit Red Wings was one he suggested to club president Cyril Leeder. He thought it would be fitting, and he’ll likely have family in town for Christmas that will be able to attend the game at the same time.

The Alfredsson family returned to Ottawa on a full-time basis on Aug. 15, he added.

He was chosen through a player honouring committee that was formed to recognize past players in the club’s upcoming 25th anniversary season.

Senior hockey advisor Bryan .COM Murray spoke about some of Alfredsson’s top moments with the club.

“Character, leader, big time performer, disciplined player, and a Visit our website, click the calendar very respectful player and person,” and start posting events FREE! Murray said of Alfredsson as a player with the Senators.

Got Events?

In the twilight of his life now, at 14, Jasper spends most of his time sleeping and dreaming of the days he used to run alongside his human companions in the snow. He remembers eating all their Christmas baking and the croissants meant for guests, stealing items off the barbecue, and having long naps in their bed while they worked.

He especially loves sunbathing while they garden, occasionally looking up to see if they need direction. Blind when he was rescued by the Humane Society 12 years ago, his vision was restored and he has never looked back.

Pet Adoptions

Veterinary Medical Association tells us that cat owners are far less likely than dog owners to take their pet to the veterinarian regularly.

Regular veterinary care is essential for all pets, not just dogs. Visiting a vet can help keep your cat healthy and can help prevent costly emergency vet visits. Your vet can spot many illnesses early so you can treat your cat before it becomes too expensive or worse, too late to fix. Vaccination helps keeps cats safe from contagious disease. Having your cat spayed or neutered is the best way to help reduce the number of homeless pets in our community. And, sterilization keeps your cat healthier by lowering her chances of getting diseases, like some cancers and also helps end unwanted behaviour issues. Also your veterinarian is your go-to resource to prevent parasites like treat fleas, ticks, and worms.

There are so many benefits to regular veterinary care. If you cat hasn’t been lately, why not celebrate National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day and take her?

MIKEY (ID# A187619)

Not Just for the Dogs There are quite a few awareness “days” out there that you may not have heard of. There are the little-known and off-beat National Squirrel Appreciation Day and International Hug Your Cat Day; there is the mainstream and better-known Earth Day. There are also a dozen or so that we in animal welfare wish everyone knew about, such as Chip Your Pet Month and Spay Neuter Awareness Month — identification and sterilization being among the most pressing issues in the Ottawa Humane Society’s work.

P.S. If you haven’t yet signed up for this year’s Wiggle Waggle Walkathon or Run for the Animals, we hope you will. It is our biggest and most important event for the animals of the year and it’s a great day out. The animals depend on you and this year’s pledges are lagging. Please register at www.ottawahumane.ca/walk and begin collecting pledges today. See you on September 11th!

Pet of the Week: Mikey (ID# A187619) Meet Mikey, a big boy with lots of love to give who is looking for a new home.

Mikey is an affectionate cat who greets all of his visitors at the shelter with happy purrs. He is very playful, and especially enjoys trying to fit into cardboard boxes that may be too small for him.

Mikey loves the spotlight and would prefer to be the only cat in the home, so he can have all of the attention – and cuddles – to himself. If you think Mikey might be your purr-fect match, stop by the shelter to meet him today!

For more information on Mikey and all the adoptable animals, stop Among the days we wish would catch on is National Take Your Cat by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at to the Vet Day which was on August 22, because the simple fact is www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals that too few cats receive regular veterinary care. In fact, the Canadian available for adoption.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 A playful and generous spirit make you a favorite friend to have around, Aries. Many may be clamoring for your attention, and you do not know where to direct it first.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, uncertainty has you wondering about the direction in which your life may be going. It’s a time for reflection. Look to a parent or trusted advisor for guidance.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Romance may get in the way of logic this week, Gemini. This is sure to be exciting, but try to maintain your focus. Keep lines of communication with your significant other open.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, do your best to overhaul your finances. Some recent purchases might have made you vulnerable, and now is a great time to regain control.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, a sudden burst of creativity will inspire you and others in the days ahead. Keep up the great work you’re doing, and don’t be afraid to take chances.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You are given to behaving selflessly, Virgo. But this week you can still help others and take your needs into consideration. Ask for help if you need it.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, resist the urge to overindulge in food or beverages this week.

Good times are ahead and you want to be able to enjoy them to the fullest.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you’re focused on furthering your career, but responsibilities at home must be weighed before making a final decision. Don’t give up; just reevaluate your timing.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, rather than dreaming of faraway places, make a plan to travel.

Establish a savings account or vacation fund and begin making your travel goals happen.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, gifts might start coming your way and you don’t understand all the generosity. Accept what is offered and recognize that you deserve it.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 It’s easy to expect others to keep your pace when you have all of your ducks in a row, Aquarius. However, not everyone works on the same schedule that you do. Allow time to catch up.
