Taxi dispute talks are ‘miles apart’ Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The airport taxi drivers’ union and its dispatch company have returned to the bargaining table, but remain “miles apart” three weeks into a labour dispute over an increase in airport taxi passenger pick-up fees.

“We’re miles apart.

They’re going to have to make a significant move or this thing isn’t going any-

where,” Jerry Dias, Unifor national president, said Sept. 1.

That was the day after the two sides in the dispute met for the first time since before a lockout began Aug. 11.

The airport fleet of taxi drivers say they were locked out that day after refusing to each pay a $5-perpassenger-fee increase.

South Ottawa’s Myrtle Ashwin is always ready to get all dressed up to support local causes. On Aug. 29, the spry senior donned a snazzy-looking hat to take part in the Hat Contest Promenade at the Polo in the Park fundraiser at Wesley Clover Park. What’s most impressive about her headwear is that the legally-blind woman made her hat herself. The polo matches, along with the fancy hat contest and dog agility demonstrations, were held to raise funds for the Queensway Carleton Hospital and the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health. Wesley Clover Park joined forces with the Rotary Club of Ottawa South and the Ottawa Polo Club to stage the fundraiser.

Locals also stay away from the area in the evening. Johnson said there have been anecdotal reports of drug dealing at the forested end of the park nearest the grocery store. Graffiti tags are also a regular sight.

“I know I wouldn’t go through (the park) at night,” she said, adding that there isn’t enough lighting in the area.

The community started to mobilize to rejuvenate the park after city staff arrived in February to clear cut trees that were infected with the emerald ash borer beetle. Large sections of the park are now covered in tree stumps, weeds and large patches of dried tree debris.

Further adding to safety issues, tree branches have been left hanging and the network of paths in the area are uneven and at times difficult to navigate.

Since then, the association has ramped up its efforts to clean the park of litter.

“When I fell upon the park, I thought, ‘Oh my God, it’s like a dump.’ It really was bad, and that was four years ago,” said Johnson, who lives a short walk from the park.

Residents have been enthusiastic about the park’s future. At least 60 people attended a park information and brainstorming session in April.

Residents generated several ideas for the park, from new

play structures and swings to a splash pad and new picnic tables.

The organization is asking for a zoning change at the park that would allow for the removal of dead trees, tree debris, invasive buckthorn trees and the addition of more attractive greenery.

Next steps now include taking the options for the park to residents for a vote. These include: • leaving zoning as is and allow the city to manage the park as they see fit • leaving zoning as is, but request the city improve clean-up of tree stumps and remaining debris, and rejuvenate the playground with new structures, swings, benches, a gazebo and/ or a splash pad • rezoning one section of the park to allow removal of dead and invasive plant species and bush and plant new trees, and add benches, picnic tables and lighting.

• The fourth option is similar to No. 3, but also includes adding new play structures, swings, benches, a gazebo Everyone is invited to the public information meeting and vote at the Hunt Club-Riverside Park Community Centre, located at 3320 Paul Anka Dr., on Sept. 14, at 7 p.m. The vote results will be submitted to River Coun. Riley Brockington.

Drivers willing to pay more: union Continued from page 1

Of that $5 fee, $3 would go to the Ottawa International Airport Authority, $1.50 would go to taxi dispatcher, Coventry Connections, with the rest to cover taxes.

While at the bargaining table on Aug. 31, Unifor said its drivers are willing to double their current fee rate of about $345 per month, which Dias characterized as a “huge concession.”

But, Coventry rejected the offer, he said.

“Frankly, we don’t have a lot of wiggle room at all. We are at our max,” Dias said, while waiting at Unifor offices in Nepean for word the two sides would meet a second time the afternoon of Sept. 1.

“We can’t get a deal with us playing solitaire. We need a partner to talk to.”

But, in a statement on Aug. 31, the chief executive of Coventry Connections said the dispatch company requires “a credible response to the proposals we had tabled at our last meeting with the airport fleet union representatives to

go forward.”

Still, the company is hoping the two parties can put an end to the labour dispute.

“We still hope to come to a resolution and to have the airport drivers come back to work soon,” Marc-Andre Way, Coventry’s chief operating officer, said in the statement. “But it’s important that airport pickups remain open to all fleets to meet customer demand.”

The airport authority also issued a statement that it is continuing to encourage Unifor to join Coventry at the table to reach an agreement.

“We hope they can resolve their differences, and welcome the drivers back to the airport,” said the authority, reiterating that it is not taking part in the labour negotiations.

“The authority is pleased with the level of service being provided by the drivers who have agreed to serve the airport, and pleased that the rent being paid is more in line with the market and with the rest of our tenants,” said Mark Laroche, airport authority president.

The airport taxi fleet has 275

drivers operating 150 taxis.

“The elephant in the room is Uber,” Dias said of the appbased ride service, which is not licensed by the city and does not have the same overhead fees that licensed cabbies pay, which averages about $3,300 a month per driver.

This doesn’t include the new airport fee hike, which would average out to about $1,300 a month per driver.

“If you look at the 15-hour days they’re putting in, they’re making slightly over minimum wage,” Dias said.

“Tell any employee in Canada that they’re going to be losing $1,300 a month. Guess what? It’s a problem.

“No worker in Canada, frankly, would accept a $1,300a-month cut in pay, and that’s what they’re expected to do.”

While the airport authority previously told Metroland Media the drivers are not required to produce a set amount in passenger pick-up fees each month, Unifor said the reality is drivers would have to pay an average $1,330 based on current airport passenger volumes.

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Unifor regional representative Harry Ghadban, left, Unifor national president Jerry Dias and Abed Madi, president of the union’s airport taxi local, regroup at Unifor’s Nepean offices on Sept. 1, following a five-hour meeting the day before with taxi dispatch company, Coventry Connections. The two sides have resumed contract negotiations amid a threeweek labour dispute.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet

a good solution for most people.

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology.

Laughter, love and a life of adventure key to a 70 year marriage Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Even after seven decades of marriage, Phyllis and William McLachlin are hesitant to advise young couples on the secrets to a long and successful marriage.

“Today’s a different world,” says Phyllis, just days before the couple celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary on Aug. 27. “I don’t know if some people don’t grow up with the same set of values we did, whether that has a bearing on it.”

Married in 1945 at the close of the Second World War, the McLachlins – who have lived in Ottawa’s Golden Triangle neighbourhood for about 15 years – are the first to admit they’ve had their ups and downs.

And while patience, laughter and a penchant for keeping busy and living lives full of adventure have been key, they also say trust has been important.

“I think if a couple have trust in one another, that’s a big factor,” says Phyllis, who turns 90 this fall. “I can’t imagine being with someone you didn’t trust.”

William was an air force radar technician and Phyllis was teaching in a one-room schoolhouse, when the couple first met. William, now 92, says it was likely love at first sight.

“It must have been for me because, you see, I’d been on the island up in Newfoundland for a year or so,” says William, who was 19 at the

Phyllis and William McLachlin, who live in Ottawa’s Golden Triangle neighbourhood, are all smiles as they prepare to celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary. The couple was married just after the end of the Second World War. time, while Phyllis was two years his junior, “Isolation, you might say,” Phyllis adds with a laugh.

“We had no way out,” William says of his remote Newfoundland posting in 1942.

“We had rotten food and no soft drinks or chocolate bars – nothing. The only thing we had for entertainment was skiing. We played a lot of chess.”

When William arrived at an air force station in Phyllis’ hometown of Tusket Falls, N.S., the couple was introduced by a man who had gone out with one of Phyllis’ sisters.

“I just went in and said, ‘Are you Phyllis?’” he recalled.

Their courtship included

dances at the station and skating during the winter months.

“We must have gone to Yarmouth to go to a show,” he adds.

But William’s air force career often meant leaving Phyllis behind.

“I turned up like a bad weed every once and awhile,” he says, prompting a laugh from Phyllis. “I never stayed anywhere any length of time. The first thing I did when I got to a station was ask for a transfer.

I just wanted to do more, see more.”

He was eventually posted overseas in 1944, where he spent about seven months working at radar stations in

They wrote letters to each other throughout the separation.

He returned to Canada and first visited his mother and siblings in Ottawa’s west end.

He’d been planning to next head to Japan, but his tour was cancelled when the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on the Asian nation, ending the war.

Though William wanted to stay in the air force, the military brass weren’t encouraging men to stay on after the fighting ended.

“So that’s when I thought, ‘What could I do that’s dangerous?” he quips. “So I phoned (Phyllis) up and said, ‘What do you say we get married?”

William was 22 and Phyllis had not yet turned 20 when they were married in a Baptist minister’s living room in 1945. Phyllis’ sister and her husband served as the witnesses.

Their lives together have been characterized by one adventure after another.

Phyllis went from teaching to being a stay-at-home mom to their two daughters, Deborah and Janet. Eventually, she went back to work as a secretary for high-ranking government officials in Ottawa.

PHOTO COURTESY WILLIAM MCLACHLIN

Phyllis and William McLachlin were barely into their 20s when they were married in Nova Scotia on Aug. 27, 1945.

William, meanwhile, has had several careers. After leaving the air force, he went on to work for a power company, in the pulp and paper industry and eventually became a high school teacher. Age has never stopped them from realizing their dreams. William earned his first university degree at age 50, and Phyllis became accomplished in tai chi in her 80s.

Their retirement has been just as full.

Deborah, their eldest daughter, says her father is like the Energizer bunny, can fix anything – he’s built several houses over the years – and still regularly comes up with new ideas for future projects.

“Dad has a mind for fixing puzzles,” she says with a smile.

Phyllis serves as the perfect balance.

“My mother is the most patient, astute woman who knows when to say something and when not to say something,” Deborah says. “It’s an art.”

Today, Phyllis maintains a

busy schedule and regularly attends performances at the NAC. William is a regular at Billings Bridge Shopping Centre every fall where he represents the Montgomery branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, collecting donations in exchange for poppies.

Health scares have done little to stem their enthusiasm for life and each other.

William was given six months to a year to live after doctors told him they couldn’t operate to unblock an artery to his colon due to his advanced age.

“That was two years ago,” he says.

He and Phyllis just returned from a road trip to Nova Scotia, during which they shared in the driving.

“Seventy years – it’s quite lovely, isn’t it?” Deborah says.

“I think they love each other still,” she says when asked the secret to her parents’ successful marriage. “To ... still love each other and care about each other is wonderful.

“When it works, it works.”

Expanded genetics testing puts CHEO regional lab on map

Shelley Ordorica, senior technologist at the CHEO-based Molecular Genetics Diagnostic Laboratory, holds a slide that can contain a DNA sample which can be inserted into next-generation gene sequencing machines, in back. The technology is allowing the lab to expand its range of testing for genes that cause weakened heart muscle, which can lead to sudden death.

Inherited heart conditions carry a heavy toll in Canada, causing the deaths of more than 700 children and young people every year.

But thanks to new sophisticated technology at the CHEO-based Molecular Genetics Diagnostic Laboratory, its team of specialists can now test and analyze more patient samples for cardiomyopathies, potentially deadly conditions that weaken heart muscle, affecting the organ’s ability to pump blood. “We actually look at 45 genes at once with this new testing,� said Shelley Ordorica, senior technologist at the lab, the only one in the province designated by the Ontario Ministry of Health to provide this new round of tests on these genes. “We just don’t know which one that could be involved in that patient,� she said.

That’s where the lab’s newest next-generation gene sequencing machine, acquired earlier this year and put to work on July 2, comes in.

If the patient tests positive, they can be followed closely by their medical team, make lifestyle changes, such as limiting physical activity, and be prescribed medication if their symptoms progress.

Family members can then be tested to determine whether they too have a similar gene mutation. “If they find that it’s not there, they find that their children are not at an increased risk. They don’t inherit the risk factor from mom or

dad,� Ordorica said. “Or if they did inherit the risk factor, they can be followed up appropriately with specialists.�

The new gene-sequencing technology is considered a game-changer, testing up to 45 genes at a time, each belonging to the DNA samples of 12 patients in 24 hours. “(With) the old technology instrument we would do one patient, five genes at a time,� Ordorica said, adding the new capability means the regional lab is quickly developing into a centre of excellence in cardiac genetics.

The lab is said to provide the most comprehensive menu of tests in Canada for inherited cardiomyopathies, receiving samples from around Ontario, as well as Quebec, Nunavut and B.C. By expanding the range of tests, the CHEO lab is able to analyze more samples from Ontario patients – from newborns to adults – which previously would have been tested at private labs in the U.S. The lab’s volume of cardiomyopathy testing has already almost doubled, from about a dozen samples a week to 20 samples. An estimated 400 families in Ontario are referred for genetic testing each year. “It’s definitely exciting,� Ordorica said. “We’re definitely growing quite quickly.�

While the new gene-sequencer machines are currently earmarked for cardiomyopathies, there is potential to expand their use.

In fact, the team began using their sequencing technology to test for thoracic aortic aneurysm on Sept. 1.

Parks deserve our full attention

A

piecemeal process to fund new parks – and improvements in existing parks – is being considered by the city. And that’s a mistake.

Parks benefit everyone.

You may not use a park on the other side of the city, but all Ottawans deserve some greenspace.

The city should act like we are one community and think big, not parochially.

When a developer builds new homes, they pitch in development fees towards new local parks. If there is no space for a park, the developer pays cash-in-lieu of parkland.

The city’s planning committee made a mistake when it suggested some of that cash-in-lieu should be used for life-cycle repairs in parks.

City council should dump the idea and pay for park maintenance from a central annual budget.

If the development fees are used to maintain an existing park, then we all lose out on new space or new amenities.

The slippery slope ends with the real maintenance budget being reduced so development fees can pay the cost.

Council is elected to decide priorities. Simply shifting money between silos is a recipe for fewer and poorer parks in the long run.

Real games in real parks are a good thing. A shell game isn’t appreciated.

The mayor and the rest of council should set aside money in the annual budget that ensures parks are well kept and suitably equipped for the residents in the neighbourhood. That’s worked up to now, so why take a chance on creating a second tier of funding and potentially a system of parks with different levels of upkeep depending on which ward they are located within?

At the same time, council should tackle the issue of “promotional� plaques. It is a mistake to allow elected public officials to erect any commemorative item bearing their own name. They are already paid to do the job of councillor or mayor, and any money “they� pay to have their name engraved on a city asset is really taxpayers’ money.

If there’s a good place to spend money, it’s on parks. But the last thing a penny should be spent on is a plaque telling us who signed the cheque.

Champions of summer

B

aseball in Ottawa has had its ups and downs – the uppest being when the Ottawa Lynx, playing before the largest crowds in the league, won the International League championship in 1995; the downest being when the Ottawa Rapidz folded and the stadium on Coventry Road was empty for the 2009 season.

It is difficult to predict how potential fans will behave in this city. People have gone broke trying.

Back in the ’90s, Lynx games were the place to be. Everybody you knew was there. Then, all of a sudden, it all vanished.

There are many explanations having to do with major league affiliation, the parking, the location, miserable spring weather, various ownership decisions. But it boils

The Rapidz, playing at a lower but still entertaining level, found that out. So did the Fat Cats, who lasted a little longer. It was fun to go to those games, but not enough people did.

Now we are nearing the end of the first season of the Ottawa Champions. Attendance, we are told, is below league average, although there have been successful spurts, such as a three-game series against the

Winnipeg Goldeyes that drew 10,000 people.

In terms of the product on the field, as teams are sometimes called by accountants, there is no reason why the Champions should not be a huge success next year. It’s good ball they play – making all the routine plays smoothly and making the difficult ones too.

In one game I saw the right fielder doubling the runner off first after catching a line drive, the catcher gunning a runner down at second trying to steal. They beat out a beautiful bunt single down the first base line.

And the opposing right fielder made a magnificent throw to gun down an Ottawa at home plate. The pitching on both sides was strong, the umpiring was professional.

And good things were happening off the field too. The Champions have a mascot, Champ, a red bear who looks a bit like the Montreal Expos Youppi, except that his (or her

A nice touch was the late-inning garbage pickup: environmentally conscious fans walked considerable distances in the stadium to present their debris to the guy with a big garbage bag.

The 50-50 draw was popular. Later in the season were such events as the ice bucket challenge, kids getting to run the bases and get autographed balls from the players.

I could do without the playing of Sweet Caroline in the eighth inning, an imitation of something done at Fenway Park.

And I think YMCA has had its day. Judging by the scarcity of people dancing to it, the fans are now unresponsive to it too. Something EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ

The NDP candidate for the federal riding of Ottawa South is hoping the destruction of about a dozen of his campaign signs, while disappointing, is an isolated incident.

Such vandalism is not unusual during election season, said George Brown, a former city councillor, but people are tired of “this sort of political

discord.”

“One never likes to see it, especially when the other two party’s signs (belonging to the Liberal and Conservative parties) were never touched.

“In an age of robocalls, gas plant fiascoes, Duffy trials, one perhaps shouldn’t be surprised that some people feel that this is how you politically engage these days,” said the longtime Riverview Park resident and lawyer, who is seeking to be-

Just days before on Aug. 30, an NDP campaign volunteer noticed about a dozen of Brown’s campaign signs had been ripped, bent and uprooted along Alta Vista Drive,

between Heron and Pleasant Park roads.

To reduce the risks associated with WNV, OPH is urging residents to take steps to limit their exposure to mosquitoes. This includes applying an approved mosquito repellant containing DEET to exposed skin and clothing, wearing light colours and long sleeves, pants, shoes and socks to protect exposed skin, ensuring all screens on your home are in good working condition, and taking steps to reduce areas where mosquitoes breed by removing standing water from around your home. Empty containers, like flower pots or pool covers, turn over plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows, clean out eavestroughs, remove unused tires, cover rain barrels with screens and drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers so that water can drain out.

Symptoms of LD usually begin three days to one month after being bitten by an infected tick. Individuals that acquire LD often develop a round, red rash that slowly expands away from the tick bite resembling a “bull’s eye” pattern. Other flu-like symptoms include – fever, chills, fatigue, headache, muscle and joint pain. If left untreated, LD can cause neurological symptoms, rheumatologic symptoms or cardiac abnormalities weeks to years after onset.

Ontario boosts fines to deter distracted driving Staff

Ontario has implemented tougher penalties for distracted driving, new rules to protect cyclists and measures to ensure the safety of tow truck drivers and children riding school buses effective Sept. 1.

Penalties for distracted driving include an increased set fine of $490 and three demerit points upon conviction.

Novice drivers will receive a minimum 30-day suspension for the first conviction and longer suspensions for subsequent convictions.

The ‘dooring’ of cyclists will carry an increased set 0820.R0013420164

fine of $365 and three demerit points upon conviction.

New rules will also require drivers to leave a one-metre distance where possible when passing cyclists, or they may face the penalty of a $110 set fine and two demerit points.

Cyclists who don’t use the required bicycle lights and reflectors face a higher set fine of $110.

Drivers must leave a safe passing distance between themselves and tow trucks stopped on the roadside to provide assistance. Failing to slow down and move over for a tow truck can result in a set

fine of $490.

The new rules come a week after a tow truck driver was seriously injured helping a stranded motorists on the Queensway in Ottawa.

The fines include a victim fine surcharge and court costs.

School buses will be more recognizable - they will be the only buses permitted to be chrome yellow.

But to do so through legitimate means rather than targeting posters belonging to one or more parties.

“Knock on doors, put up signs,” he said.

Brown is advising anyone who sees vandalized signs belonging to any party in the Ottawa South riding to report the incident.

“Call our office and we’ll pass the information on,” he said. “We just want a positive campaign on all fronts.

“This is all about giving voters a choice, giving them an opportunity to participate in a very exciting election.”

It’s also about abiding by the law.

“It’s actually a criminal offence,” Brown said, referring to the destruction of election signs.

The offices of Liberal incumbent David McGuinty and Conservative candidate Dev Balkissoon confirmed their signs have not suffered any damage.

communities together and raise funds for Parkinson’s.”

What makes the SuperWalk especially attractive for someone looking to join is the ease of registering.

Participants can sign up at any time, up to and including the morning of the event, with online registration at www.ParkinsonSuperWalk.ca.

Defeating an enemy takes the help of allies, and curing a disease is no different.

Since the formation of Parkinson Society Canada 50 years ago, hundreds of thousands of people have raised millions towards finding a cure. To achieve this goal, the organization’s largest annual fundraiser will be coming back to Britannia Park on Sept. 12.

The Parkinson SuperWalk is the society’s only national event, and is now in its 25th year. The Ottawa event, organized by the Parkinson Society of Eastern Ontario (PSEO), has been joined in recent years by upstart SuperWalks in Renfrew, Brockville, and Cornwall.

Last year’s SuperWalk saw more than 600 participants take part, pushing Eastern Ontario’s tally to $192,000. Nation-wide, 14,000 people in 115 cities helped raise $2.9 million towards ending Parkinson’s.

Despite the 25th anniversary, organizers are keeping the structure of the Ottawa event similar to previous years because the simplicity and structure works, said Shaunna Quinn, special events and fundraising coordinator for PSEO. “We try to keep things pretty similar in each location,” said Quinn.

“The Ottawa location is bigger (than other Eastern Ontario locales), and there’s more to see and do there. The aim everywhere is to bring people in

Participants can pledge to walk one or three kilometres in support of a cure, but because many participants have Parkinson’s themselves, finishing the walk doesn’t really matter, said Quinn.

“It’s as far as you want,” she said.

“We don’t want to push people to complete the walk – it depends on the individual. What’s more important is uniting as a community.”

This year’s event will lead off with a pipe and drum band, with Disney princesses and the league of superheroes to get everyone in a buoyant mood.

Late registration begins at 9 a.m. at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre. The walk starts at 10:30 a.m.

Mary tries her hand at hatching her very own chicken

T

here was no doubt about it; my pet chicken wouldn’t be a chicken much longer.

I wasn’t smart enough to figure out that you didn’t have pets on a farm. They eventually ended up at the market or hanging in the smoke house behind the house.

I refused to accept this, so I had a pet lamb, a pet calf, and Biddy, my pet chicken.

The reason I adopted Biddy was that she stood out from the crowd. She didn’t have a feather on her body, unless you could call the little ring of white fuzz that circled her between her neck and her wings, feathers.

And Biddy grew, as I knew she would. And then one day, she was nowhere to be found.

I wouldn’t dare ask what happened to her, but I strongly suspected, since I fed her myself and she grew bigger and fatter than any other in the flock, she was the perfect candidate to be taken into Renfrew with Mother’s other wares to be peddled,

MARY COOK Memories and the few pennies added to what was called her “egg” money.

When Biddy went missing, I knew what I had to do. I had to get an egg out of the hen house, and somehow turn it into a chicken.

Surely, if I had hatched my very own chicken, it would never be hauled off to Renfrew or put in the big granite pot on a Sunday. And I knew just how to do it too.

Hadn’t I seen Mother stock the incubator with eggs, keep it warm with coal oil lamps or lanterns and lo and behold in due course, there would be a batch of little golden chickens?

So the first thing I had to do

was find a spot that was not cold. Well, this time of year, that could be just about any place in the house. The upstairs was like we had moved the Findlay Oval to the top floor!

And so, without being noticed, I went to the henhouse, looked over the eggs waiting to be brought into the house, and picked the biggest one I could find. pI tucked it gently into the leg of my flour bag bloomers so no one would notice it, and headed right upstairs to the little washstand I shared with my sister Audrey.

In my half of the top drawer, which Audrey had divided with a wood ruler from Scott’s Hard-

ware, I moved my underwear around and made a dent in one of my pairs of flour bag underpants, and gently put the egg in the folds. Then I covered it with more underwear, a vest and three pairs of ankle socks.

It was well hidden, the washstand took the full blast of the sun all day long, and I figured I would soon have a replacement for Biddy.

my sister Audrey, who could hear a leaf drop, and who had a nose that could pick a scent two miles away, so good were her senses, announced to Mother one morning that there was a vile smell coming from our shared bedroom.

It was a Saturday, so Mother told her to work especially hard at doing our usual chores, making sure to dust mop thoroughly, and use a bit of lemon oil on the furniture. She blamed the smell on the heat wave we were having.

By the next day, I too could smell whatever it was that was fast eliminating the sweet scent of clean sheets and the lemon oil that was used only in the parlour! And that was the day my secret incubator was no longer a secret.

“The stink is coming from our wash stand,” Audrey bellowed, as she ripped open the little drawer. Well, the smell just about bowled me over too.

You didn’t have to be a university graduate to know what had

LONG WAIT BEGAN

I knew it was important not to touch the egg while it was hatching, and so I used only the underpinnings on top of it.

And the long wait for the egg to hatch began.

I had no idea how long that would be, but every night I went to bed and silently prayed it wouldn’t pop open when we were asleep, and start to peep, sending my sister Audrey into a state of hysterics!

Well, the wait went on. Days passed and turned into a couple of weeks. And then one day

happened to the egg.

In the heat, in the closed drawer, it had rotted beyond belief! My explanation did little to impress Audrey. She ordered me to wrap it in a pair of my underpants and take it outside and throw it as far away from the house as I could.

I did as I was told, sad beyond belief that my try at hatching my very own chicken was a complete and total failure.

My penalty was taking everything out of the wash stand, washing it with a bar of Lifebouy soap, used only by Father or the boys when they had to get rid of a bad smell, and tossing everything into the Monday’s wash.

The drawer and the two doors at the bottom stood open for days, airing out. I was too young to know what had to happen to an egg before it would hatch.

And my sister Audrey blamed me for her sudden dislike of scrambled eggs on a Sunday morning!

Disability activists seek boost in housing allowance ACORN says province’s disability support is not keeping up with real-world costs Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

The real cost of keeping a roof over your head isn’t reflected in the housing allowance granted to disabled Ontarians, say disability activists.

On Aug. 28, members of Ottawa ACORN staged a protest outside the Preston Street offices of the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) to have their voices heard. Rising rents, coupled with food prices and utilities that rise even faster, are making proper lodging a rare luxury, they said.

A single person on Ontario Works (OW) receives a $376 per month housing allowance, while a single person on ODSP collects $479 – numbers far less what an average one-bedroom apartment rents for in

Ottawa.

And, while the OW payment for families with two children rose by 1.55 percent following the 2014 provincial budget, OW and ODSP for single people and ODSP for families didn’t rise. This all adds up to increasingly desperate people living in subpar and often dangerous housing, said ACORN member Gisele Bouvier.

“What they end up doing is taking from their food budget, and even then, it will be to rent a slum,” said Bouvier, who isn’t on assistance but known people who are in that situation.

“With disabilities, you never know in life what can happen. I’m fighting now – maybe it’s for myself.”

Representatives from ACORN tried to secure a meeting with Ontario Com-

munities and Social Services Minister Helena Jaczek , but never heard back after making the request by letter. Attempts to deliver another letter to ODSP representatives during the protest failed.

Bouvier said that ACORN’s recommendation, based on data from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation, states that the allowance would have to be increased 188 per cent for a single person, and 158 per cent

for a family. Past increases have been sub-inflationary, she said. “(1.55 percent) is just the cost of living - like the others, it’s likely based on the Consumer Price Index, which is really a false number, as it doesn’t take

into consideration increases in food, energy and rent,” said Bouvier.

“All it does is give a subsidy to slum landlords, because these people can’t find healthy homes.”

Getting back to the back-to-school routine

P

tic summer, which makes me happy they’ll go back to school refreshed with minds open to learn.

On the other hand, the inevitability of the harsh return to early bedtimes, early mornings, everyone rushing out the door in a tizzy and the general labour required to maintain the school year routine is making me feel like I need a vacation

arents are in two camps about the return to school.

Some are happy to be relieved of kids’ boredom or the expense of summer camp.

Others are reluctant to get back into the fall routine, which means the inevitability that winter is around the corner.

I’m on the fence. On the one hand, my kids had a fantas-

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse already.

Things typically go better when we have a routine that’s sustainable. I’m not great at systems, but we have a couple of things that work well to keep us on track.

Unless you like crazy sock day, make sure all kids have the same white socks that can be easily matched. I don’t know why socks disappear, but they do. Two go into the washer; one comes out.

Pack lunches the night before. It’s hard and it sucks to make lunches after a long work

The right hearing aid can make a difference

day, after dinner, when all you want to do is shout at the kids to go to bed for the 11th time so you can settle into a good book or primetime or a cocktail.

I try to get the kids to do it themselves. When our routine is working, the kids pack their own lunch for the next day when they get home from school. They don’t have to search for containers – they wash the one from that day and reuse it—and when they make their own lunches, they’re less likely to complain about the contents.

Minimize the wardrobe. In the end-of-summer, pre-September craziness, we seem to have enough clothes for 20 people.

The startling thing is that many of them seem to get rewashed and re-dried, but never put away and possibly never worn. My goal is to get rid of half of them before the minions go back to school.

My kids have a few uniform T-shirts each. They will be issued a couple of pairs of trousers, a week’s worth of underwear and two weeks’ worth of socks (sports make for stinky feet), and it’s their job to wash them.

Find a way to keep the school paper sorted. This is the most dreaded thing about the school year – all the communication that comes via paper.

September is the worst, with permission forms and demands for money, pizza lunches, open houses and homework expectations.

I’d like to shred it, but it must be prioritized, which means an inbox is required on the kitchen counter.

Wind back the kids’ bed-

times. My children are already complaining that their late summer campfire hours have been cut short. A week before school, I start winding back their bedtimes by 15 minutes each evening, until we get to the desired time.

Get a meal plan going. I’ve entered a particularly busy period with my business that coincides with my daughter’s start at daycare and the boys returning to school. When there’s no meal plan in place, we fall off the rails, spend a ton of extra money on groceries and the kids’ health can suffer.

I know October is generally the month where the slow cooker comes out for most – not at our house. If all goes according to plan, I’ll have a batch of slow-cooked freezer meals ready to go so we have at least two dinners per week that we don’t have to think about. A friend makes a pile of salads in a jar every Sunday night, which she finds as a nice supplement to lunches or dinners.

Coalition pushes for low-income transit pass

dents, raising parking fees or implementing tolls could be some ways to help fund it.

The Healthy Transportation Coalition, which represents more than 20 local organizations, has been advocating for better pedestrian, cycling and public transportation infrastructure since it was started in February 2014.

The advocacy group sprung out of an initiative by a number of organizations to support “complete streets” – with planning to include pedestrian and cyclists – during the negotiations around the 2013 transportation master plan. The group has since tried to push councillors and candidates to commit to the idea of

low-income transit passes.

Haché said the group hopes to influence next year’s budget by collecting more than 5,000 signatures on its petition. As of Aug. 26, more than 290 people had signed the petition.

Our hope is that thousands of people will sign this petition and it gets to the point where city council can no longer afford to ignore it, Haché said.

“We’re trying to demonstrate early there’s support for this idea. We know we might not win this as early as this fall when the budget it finalized, but we’re working to achieve this goal. If it takes more than a year, we’re committed to work as long as it takes.”

Back to School!

September is here which marks the beginning of the annual return to school for children throughout our community. Let’s work together to make this fall a safe, happy and healthy start to the school year.

The City of Ottawa funds the Adult Crossing Guard Program which provides for crossing guards at many key locations throughout our community. This is a great program that helps to make our community a safe and healthy environment for our children as they make their way to and from school.

Please remember when crossing intersections without signals or crossing guards, children should: • Stop before stepping onto the road • Look in all directions • Listen for traffic • Cross only when the road is clear • Walk directly across road - do not run or cycle Drivers please remember to: • Look for school zone signage • Reduce speed in school zones • Be ready to stop at all times: children do not always notice oncoming traffic • Try to make eye contact with children wanting to cross the road • Be patient and wait for children to complete their crossing before proceeding Registration is now open for Tim Horton’s Cleaning the Capital The City of Ottawa and Tim Horton’s are pleased to announce the annual Tim Horton’s Cleaning the Capital campaign, which will take place from September 15 to October 15. Early-bird registration is now available.

To register for the clean-up please go to www.ottawa.ca or call 3-1-1. There is an interactive map on the City’s website which shows you which locations already have clean-up campaigns taking place. Select a location that requires litter pick-up or graffiti removal, such as a park, ravine, shoreline, bus stop, pathway or any other public area.

Volunteers who register their clean-up project before September 15 have a chance to win one of many early bird prizes donated by the generous sponsors. As well, volunteers who submit a final cleanup report by October 31 will be eligible for more prizes.

Last year alone, 80,000 volunteers collected almost 140,000 kg of litter from 1,400 locations. This is a great opportunity for families and friends to work together on community clean-up projects that help make Ottawa clean, green, graffiti-free and litter-free. Tim Horton’s Cleaning the Capital is also an excellent way for high school students to earn their community volunteer hours.

Please let my office know of your clean-up campaign, as I would love to hear about it. You can email diane.deans@ottawa.ca or call 613-580-2480.

Councillor/Conseillère Quartier Gloucester-Southgate Ward

A coalition of transportation advocates is looking to affect next year’s budget talks early, in the hopes of pushing the city council to create transit passes for low-income residents.

The Healthy Transportation Coalition has launched a petition to gather signatures of those who support implementing such a pass.

“There are a lot of low income people who have to choose every month between a bus pass and putting food on their table for their families,” said Trevor Haché, a spokesman for the coalition.

“Forcing people to make that decision is a social injustice that needs to be corrected.”

OC Transpo already offers passes for people who receive benefits under the Ontario Disability Support Program, but the group is asking council members to approve a reduced price for all low-income residents.

In Ottawa, single people who get paid less than $23,298 a year are considered low income, as are families of four with an income below $44,340.

A number of cities across the province have already introduced similar plans, including Cornwall, Kingston, Waterloo and Windsor.

Various groups in Ottawa have been pushing for a low-income transit pass for years.

Haché said that while it’s the municipal government’s responsibility to figure out how it would pay for a pass for low-income resi-

New Ottawa police app set to launch for Android users Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

You don’t have to wear a gun belt and the uniform of Ottawa police officers to help them do their work.

The service is preparing to launch its first app for Android and Blackberry smartphone users, more than a year after a free iOS app for iPhone and iPad users was unveiled in May 2014.

The Android app, as well as a new, updated version of the Apple app, are expected to be available for free downloading by the end of September.

“We had hoped to have it launched in time for Police Week this past May,” said Kanata-based acting Staff Sgt. Anthony Skinner, who initially came up with the idea for the first app in early 2013.

The police department is still waiting for the security strength of the new Android app to receive the green light before going live – a measure that was prompted after the City of Ottawa’s website

Acting Staff Sgt. Anthony Skinner holds his phone, featuring the new Android version of the Ottawa police app, which is expected to be launched this month. An updated version of the service’s app for iPhone users will also soon be available for free downloading. was hacked last year. That attack affected the trafficrouting map on the police app since it was linked to the city’s website.

“As a result of that, we’ve had intermittent connectibility,” Skinner said.

“We’ve had to sort of

monitor that very carefully.”

the hack into consideration to make the product stronger.

In addition to enhanced security protocols, the new and updated apps will see some brand new features, including a photo gallery of “most wanted” suspects.

“It’s something that’s going to help solve cases,” said Skinner, a 21-year Ottawa police veteran who worked for 16 years as an investigator and several years on patrol before taking on his current role of overseeing the community police officers in West Division.

“As they’re scrolling the picture gallery, we may have success – not only an ‘Oh, I know this person,’ but the possibility exists for them to be like, ‘Oh my God, there he is,’” he said.

“People are constantly on their phones. If we increase the number of hits (to the photos), logically you’re going to increase the likelihood of getting a positive identification in some of these galleries.”

App users can then choose from any number of crimereporting options available right at their fingertips, including punching the app’s 911 emergency call button or submitting an anonymous tip that goes to Crime Stoppers.

The app features eight buttons directing users to news, crime prevention information, a collision toolkit, different methods to report a crime, a map detailing traffic disruptions, station locations as well as crime map data.

It’s handy for checking in to see if a driving route is clear of accidents and hopefully serves as a convenient option for people who may otherwise not take the time to report a non-life-threatening incident, such as a car being broken into, Skinner said.

He added that it’s important to report these crimes, so that police can better track incidents and trends.

When he first realized the police service didn’t have an app, he wanted to make one,

even though he had never before built one.

He essentially had to start from scratch.

At the time, there were no police organizations in North America running an app that didn’t just mirror a police service’s website.

“So this is something that we’ve been able to build and to use to connect with our customer base, to build trust, to build that relationship, to give them the information of what’s going on,” Skinner said.

Since it first became available, the iPhone app has been downloaded 5,700 times.

An estimated 75 to 85 per cent of people today have smartphones, said Skinner.

Of those, more than 80 per cent want to search websites and do computer-related tasks on their phones.

“If that’s where they want (the information), well, we have to be able, as a service, to deliver the information we want their help with,” he said.

Food Bank farming project keeps on growing john.curry@metroland.com

The new storage shed at the Ottawa Food Bank’s Community Harvest farming project at the Tom Black farm on Fallowfield Road in Goulbourn is not all that is new there this year.

And even more projects are in the works in the future.

This year, which is the fourth year for the farming project, a total of five acres have been planted with vegetables and produce. Another two acres are under cultivation, planted with cover crops such as buckwheat, allowing for the rotation of crops from year to year.

This year has also seen the use of two greenhouse-like structures on the site. These are not greenhouses as such

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Volunteers from the Kanata Home Depot store who are building a new equipment storage shed for the Ottawa Food Bank’s Community Harvest farming project near Stittsville on Aug. 27. but are what Community Harvest coordinator Jason Gray calls “caterpillar tunnels.�

The Ottawa Food Bank was able to procure these structures thanks to grant money.

The tunnels are being used to protect the tomato and pepper crops grown at the farming project. The presence of the tunnels covering the crops not only improves the yield

NOTICE OF OPEN HOUSE LEMIEUX ISLAND WPP INTAKE IMPROVEMENTS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Date: Wednesday, September 16, 2015 Time: 4 – 6 p.m.

Location: La Salle Secondary School – Cafeteria 773 Highway 15, Ottawa The City of Ottawa (the City) has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for improvements to the Lemieux Island Water PuriďŹ cation Plant (WPP) intake.

The City operates two WPPs to supply drinking water to the city—the Lemieux Island WPP (capacity of 400 ML/d; built in 1931) and the Britannia WPP (capacity of 360 ML/d; built in 1961). The source water for both plants is the Ottawa River.

In the past, the City has had issues at the Lemieux Island WPP, with frazil ice buildup at the intake piping. Frazil ice forms in open, turbulent, supercooled water which is typical of the river conditions near the plant intake.

Because of the relatively shallow depth of water above the intake piping, frazil ice builds up below the ice surface and interferes with the ow entering the plant. This frazil ice can block the intake pipe and associated screening, resulting in unplanned WPP shutdowns or signiďŹ cantly restricted plant ows, which put the water supply at risk.

The City is currently investigating solutions for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. This study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, amended 2004, 2007 and 2011). The ďŹ nal deliverable for this project will be an environmental assessment report outlining the preferred alternative for modifying the inlet structure to prevent restrictions to the plant intake due to frazil ice. This report will be ďŹ led and available for public review for a period of 30 days upon completion.

Stakeholder (public and agency) consultation is a key element of the Class EA process. The purpose of this upcoming Public Information Centre is to present the draft recommendation for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. Residents and other interested parties are invited to drop-in anytime during the Public Information Centre for the opportunity for further information about the project and the Environmental Assessment process. Staff from the City and the consulting team will be available to explain the project and answer questions.

Project information will be available on the City of Ottawa website (http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/publicconsultations). A notice of completion will be issued upon close of the project.

Comments are welcome at any time during the study.

but also results in a higher quality of product. For example, there are far fewer cracks in the ripening tomatoes.

This is because the “tunnels� protect the tomatoes from the nighttime coolness and also protect them from heavy rainfall, which are both causes of potential crop damage.

These “tunnels� are easy to relocate on the site so that when the crops are rotated, the structure can be moved to the new crop site.

There are plans for erecting a small greenhouse structure at the farming project site in the near future, hopefully thanks to another grant.

It will serve not only some greenhouse functions but will also serve as a much needed multi-purpose space at the site.

It will be used for starting some seedlings in the spring, especially for some of the farming project’s fall crops, and will be used to store and cure squash in the fall.

But it will also be used as

a shelter for volunteers who help out at the farming project throughout the summer and more importantly, it will be able to serve as an on-site location for workshops and information presentations about the farming project for youth, students and others who visit the site.

There is also a hope that a shelter for the farming project’s equipment may be put up this fall with the help of farm owner Tom Black, who not only has provided the land but who has continued to be a source of help and advice for the project.

This Community Harvest farming project of the Ottawa Food Bank grows a variety of fresh foods for distribution to the Food Bank’s member agencies and clients. Last year, the farming project yielded more than 73,000 pounds of produce.

This produce, along with produce both purchased and donated to the Food Bank, accounted last year for a record 167,000 pounds of fresh

fruits and vegetables distributed to people in need. Indeed, in 2014, 47 per cent of the food distributed citywide by the Ottawa Food Bank was fresh food.

Gray is hopeful that this year’s yield from the farming project will be in the 75,000 to 90,000 pound range. Indeed, Gray is fairly certain that the farming project will smash last year’s totals, partly because there are five acres rather than four acres under cultivation this year.

As well, early crops so far this year such as broccoli and cabbage have done well. Gray believes that the final total for produce produced this year will depend on the potato yield that is still to come.

The Ottawa Food Bank is the Ottawa area’s central food assistance organization.

Working with 140 member agencies throughout the area, the Ottawa Food Bank provides food for 50,000 people per month, with 37 per cent of them being children.

Police chief voices concern over extent of street check regulations Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

As the province ponders regulations on street checks, Ottawa’s police chief Charles Bordeleau says he welcomes the review, but warns against rules that would overly restrict the controversial policing tactic.

“We certainly wouldn’t want to see any regulations that are so prescriptive that it will prevent officers from doing the job that not only I, as the chief expect them to do, but that the community expects them to do,” he told reporters outside a public consultation the provincial government held at Carleton University on Aug. 21.

“A lot of the street checks are as a result of the community calling us to a scene, where there is something suspicious ... I would like to see those regulations allow us to continue doing that work that helps us prevent and solve crimes.”

Opponents of street checks have criticized the practice for disproportionately targeting young men from the black community. Last year, Ottawa police conducted more than 4,000 street checks.

In June, the province announced

it would be looking to regulate street checks to make sure they are done without racial bias.

A recent study conducted by the police board found that of the 23,400 checks made by Ottawa police between 2011 and 2014, 20 per cent targeted black residents, despite being only 5.7 per cent of the city’s population in 2011. Middle Eastern residents were stopped in 14 per cent of street checks, despite only making up 4.6 per cent of Ottawa’s population.

Bordeleau has said the data is too raw to draw conclusions and needs further research. He also said Ottawa police do not conduct random checks, unlike in Toronto in years past, where the police’s “carding” tactic has been controversial.

While he warned against rules that would be too restrictive, Bordeleau welcomed the province’s initiative to have a policy regarding the issue.

“We welcome a strict definition of what they are so that there is a standard across the province so that whether you’re in Ottawa, Toronto or Niagara, the community knows what a street check is and the policing community knows what it is,” he said.

The consultation in Ottawa was the first of five being held across On-

tario to help develop the provincewide policy.

A couple dozen residents, representing a number of different communities, attended the Ottawa consultation. Participants were asked how they define street checks, what rules should be applied in the practice and what oversight the provincial government should have.

“I want better training, community awareness workshops and police officers to be held accountable for their actions,” said Séverin Jr Ndéma-Moussa, who was representing the Carribean Union of Canada at the meeting.

“We are not Ferguson. We are not Baltimore. We are Ottawa, but there is a reason we are here.”

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, who serves as the minister of community safety and correctional services, said draft regulations will be drawn up by the fall.

“We have zero tolerance when it comes to any kind of racial profiling or discrimination,” he told reporters at the consultation.

“We need to make sure all policing actions are guided by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and also the Ontario human rights code.”

Expanded genetics testing puts CHEO regional lab on map Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Inherited heart conditions carry a heavy toll in Canada, causing the deaths of more than 700 children and young people every year.

But thanks to new sophisticated technology at the CHEO-based Molecular Genetics Diagnostic Laboratory, its team of specialists can now test and analyze more patient samples for cardiomyopathies, potentially deadly conditions that weaken heart muscle, affecting the organ’s ability to pump blood.

“We actually look at 45 genes at once with this new testing,” said Shelley Ordorica, senior technologist

at the lab, the only one in the province designated by the Ontario Ministry of Health to provide this new round of tests on these genes.

“We just don’t know which one that could be involved in that patient,” she said.

That’s where the lab’s newest next-generation gene sequencing machine, acquired earlier this year and put to work on July 2, comes in.

If the patient tests positive, they can be followed closely by their medical team, make lifestyle changes, such as limiting physical activity, and be prescribed medication if their symptoms progress.

Family members can then be tested to determine whether they too have a similar

gene mutation.

“If they find that it’s not there, they find that their children are not at an increased risk. They don’t inherit the risk factor from mom or dad,” Ordorica said.

“Or if they did inherit the risk factor, they can be followed up appropriately with specialists.”

The new gene-sequencing technology is considered a game-changer, testing up to 45 genes at a time, each belonging to the DNA samples of 12 patients in 24 hours. “(With) the old technology instrument we would do one patient, five genes at a time,” Ordorica said, adding the new capability means the regional lab is quickly developing into a centre of excellence in cardiac genetics.

The lab is said to provide the most comprehensive menu of tests in Canada for inherited cardiomyopathies, receiving samples from around Ontario, as well as Quebec, Nunavut and B.C. By expanding the range of tests, the CHEO lab is able to analyze more samples from Ontario patients – from newborns to adults – which previously would have been tested at private labs in the U.S. The lab’s volume of cardiomyopathy testing has already almost doubled, from

Shelley Ordorica, senior technologist at the CHEO-based Molecular Genetics Diagnostic Laboratory, holds a slide that can contain a DNA sample which can be inserted into nextgeneration gene sequencing machines, in back. The technology is allowing the lab to expand its range of testing for genes that cause weakened heart muscle, which can lead to sudden death. about a dozen samples a week to 20 samples. An estimated 400 families in Ontario are referred for genetic testing each year.

“It’s definitely exciting,”

Ordorica said. “We’re definitely growing quite quickly.”

While the new gene-sequencer machines are currently earmarked for cardio-

myopathies, there is potential to expand their use.

In fact, the team began using their sequencing technology to test for thoracic aortic aneurysm on Sept. 1.

campaign launch on Sept. 9, giving a voice to the emerging leaders of tomorrow.

Organizers of the campaign wanted to bring a younger voice to the event, partnering with the JFO-affiliated Ben-Gurion Society (a JFO donor recognition program and under-45 networking forum) to create an evening modelled after the popular “TED Talks” format.

The event – FED Talks – will feature the theme of L’dor v’dor (From generation to generation) and will stay in line with BGS’s mandate of community leadership and philanthropy.

Guest speakers at the event include Marc Kielberger, co-founder of Me to We, and Free the Children, blogger Allison Josephs and Ottawa-born comedian Jon Steinberg.

Organizers hope the stories shared by the speakers at the talks encourage audience members to become more engaged outside their homes and workplaces, whether it’s in the Jewish community or the broader Ottawa community.

“We’re trying to emphasize that we, the next generation, are trying to flex our leadership muscles, but we want to ensure we’re doing it in a respectful manner,” said campaign launch co-chair Tamara Fathi, who will be joined on stage by Dr. Stacy Goldstein during the event.

Fathi said that previous years featured a single keynote speaker, which compelled them to shake up the format by offering three varied but impactful voices.

“It should be a good evening – driving home our messaging while still being enjoyable,” Fathi said.

“It’s so important to be respectful to those who came before you. We want to empower the next generation while embracing the previous one,” Fathi said.

The JFO’s campaign launch will take place on Sept. 9 at Centrepointe Theatre, beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are available at centrepointetheatre.com.

Parkland cash policy to allow life cycle repair Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

The city’s planning committee has approved a plan to allow development funds for parkland to be used for lifecycle repairs – while refusing to make three temporary park planning positions permanent.

The city’s cash-in-lieu of parkland policy, which allows developers to pay a tax toward parkland development when it’s not possible to provide physical green space, has been a touchy subject since July, when a staff report suggested the fund be expanded to allow for life-cycle repairs as well as the creation of new parks.

The committee, full of questions of what this would mean for park development, deferred the issue to its Aug. 25 meeting to give them the summer to talk it over with staff.

But the extra time didn’t

seem to clear much up, because it took councillors two hours and four motions to finally approve the item – with multiple changes to the staff proposal in the meantime.

For example, Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley successfully led the charge to have a staff proposal to ban “promotional” plaques commemorating the contributions of councillors be watered down. The ban was proposed by staff following the outcry over former River Ward councillor Maria McRae’s decision to spend thousands on commemorative benches in her name, leaving her successor Riley Brockington with an empty parkland account.

Hubley’s motion changed the ban so it applies only to cash-in-lieu projects that cost less than $10,000.

LIFE-CYCLE REPAIRS

One thing that didn’t change, despite an hour of hand-wringing, was the proposal to allow development dollars to fund life-cycle repairs in existing parks.

Right now, when a developer adds residential capacity to a ward but cannot provide park space, it can opt to pay a fee toward park development instead.

That money is split 60/40 between the ward where the development is built and a city-wide fund for major projects, such as Lansdowne Park.

Since 2011 the city’s policy has only allowed this cash to be used for new parks, or to add extra things such as new playground equipment, benches or paths to existing spaces.

Changing that model to include maintenance and repair divided committee members.

Several councillors argued that repairs and maintenance are the city’s responsibility,

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

and should be paid for with taxpayer dollars, whereas the cash-in-lieu accounts are a perk to deal with intensification.

“What we need in Centretown is new green space, new opportunities for parks,” said Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney, who does not sit on the planning committee but attended to offer her comments.

“We can have all the nice shiny new equipment that we want, but as we intensify it gets used and it’s just not enough space. We have entire communities that don’t have a park available to them.”

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said if councillors are concerned that parks are not beinging repaired in a timely fashion, they should demand the city’s budget department find more money to get it done.

“If we allow this (change), we know what’s going to happen,” Chiarelli said. “When the budget’s written, staff will say ‘Ok, we don’t have to

fund as much as we normally do because we can rely on the councillors to gut that funding source (in the cash-in-lieu accounts).’ It’s a band-aid for a gaping hole in the budget.”

But city treasurer Marian Simulik said the city’s life-cycle repair priorities are decided on a priority basis across the city, independent of what’s available from the cash-in-lieu accounts, within a defined budget envelope.

All the change would mean is that if an existing park was scheduled to get upgrades in 2018, for example, a councillor could choose to fast-track that to 2016 using cash-in-lieu funds, if that is what the community wanted. Another park would then move up a notch on the priority list.

With that in mind, not all councillors saw what the fuss was about.

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said adding the option of life-cycle repair simply gives councillors the flexibility to do what’s right for their residents.

“I don’t see why there has been this much consternation and dithering on this,” he said.

“It’s money we have. Use your judgement; let’s use it where everyone deems it’s best to be spent.”

But Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney warned the change is going to backfire on taxpayers. He said the move is another example of downloading costs to stretched ward offices, instead of making room for necessary funding in the city budget.

Hubley also had support (54 vote) with his motion to axe the creation of three permanent park planning positions.

Right now a 10 per cent surcharge of cash-in-lieu projects costing more than $100,000 is applied to fund two temporary park planners. A third contract position has also been added in the parks implementation department to deal with increasing volume.

Tierney said he’ll try to get Hubley’s staffing motion reversed when the item goes to council on Sept. 9.

From the sidelines to being the voice of the Fury Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Michael Pearson is the “Why not?” guy.

“If someone asks me something, I say, ‘Why not?’” said the Orléans resident. “I’ve officiated weddings, gone to South Africa. When someone asks you to do something, you never know where it will lead.

That’s how I ended up here.”

“Here” is the announcing booth on the fourth level of the stands at TD Place, where he calls all the Fury FC soccer games – and recently found himself announcing the FIFA Women’s World Cup as well.

Pearson, a dad in his mid40s, sells cars at Orléans Dodge by day, and spends every Fury home game announcing professional soccer.

He started announcing on a whim. He got into the Fury atmosphere when his two daughters, then 11 and 12, were playing competitive youth soccer with the club.

One day an announcer for

a women’s W-League game didn’t show up, and the club owner asked Pearson if he could read out the lineups and announcements instead.

He’s been the voice of the Ottawa Fury ever since.

“I used to do it just for fun,”

“It’s fantastic, I love it. I enjoy being loud, I enjoy hearing everyone cheer.”

MICHAEL PEARSON OTTAWA FURY FC ANNOUNCER

he said. “And the next thing you know, I’m announcing the FIFA World Cup … here’s a bigger microphone and here’s a bigger stadium.”

He spent several years announcing games for the amateur-format Fury before

there were even plans for the professional team. There were times when storms meant the only two people at the game who weren’t players or coaches were his two daughters.

When the Fury announced a professional team would play at the newly-built TD Place, Pearson said he simply asked if he could announce those games too. Staff said yes – and we’re going to start to pay you.

Pearson, who is the best PR person the team could ask for, frequently talks about how great the atmosphere is at the games, and how excellent a family experience it is.

He even purchases his own season tickets for his family to use, even though he is up in his announcer’s box for the entirety of every game. He purchased a second set that he donated to Roger’s House to give to families who have stayed there.

He greets the families before games and gives them a

little tour before heading up to announce the starting lineup.

Announcing names is the toughest part of his job. Soccer is an international sport, and he can face names he’s never seen before at every game. He gets a phonetic printout to help.

He had to meet with liaison officers for each World Cup team to lock down pronuncia-

tions of tougher names, such as those of the Thai team.

“That was a little more nerve-wracking,” he said.

“But the Thai embassy said I did a good job.”

He’s got the Fury lineup names memorized, and can introduce the players with long, drawn out syllables to hype up the crowd. Now that he’s used to TD Place, there’s less ner-

vousness and a lot of fun.

“My kids always said I should have got into radio, and I never found the time to do it,” Pearson said. “It’s a great way to be loud and have fun. Some people play chess.

Some people ride a bike. I announce in a giant stadium.”

KEEP ON LEARNING

Back to school essentials: price should never be an issue We can’t escape the fact that a new school year is synonymous with the inevitable trips to the store to get everything that the children need. Of

course you should always try a keep to your budget, but for some essential items qua­lity should always be your priority.

RUNNING SHOES

Growing children need good quality sports shoes to keep their feet

healthy.

Even though leather remains a big favourite because of its durability, lots of running shoes made with synthetic materials combine flexibility, lightness, and resilience.

Choose shoes with foam soles for extra comfort.

BACKPACKS

Choose a backpack that is no wider than the child’s back and shoulders. Look for one made of canvas (avoid plastic) that has several compartments and padded shoulder straps at least five centimetres wide.

Pay particular attention to the sturdiness of the zips and stitching.

PLASTIC CONTAINERS

There are two reasons why you should invest in good quality plastic lunch containers: buying reusable items is great for the environment, and spills in the bottom of lunch boxes will be avoided. Forget about using old margarine and cottage cheese containers.

THERMAL CONTAINERS

You should never skimp when food safety is at stake. Your choice of a thermal container is crucial for your child’s health. The temperature of a hot meal should always stay above 60C, so it is recommended to use a thermal container made of stainless steel with double wall vacuum insulation.

Add an exotic touch for the lunchbox Are you and your kids fed up with insipid lunches? Is your family threatening to strike over the perennial ham and cheese sandwich with carrot sticks? Are they pleading for money to eat at the school cafeteria? Are you spending most of your own pocket money on snack bar meals? Don’t despair! It is possible and easy to make your lunches more diverse and appetizing.

First of all, get ready to step out of your comfort zone of sandwich, veggie sticks, and an

apple or banana. An easy way to create variety is by changing the kind of bread you use. Trade in traditional sliced bread for naan bread or half a pita bread. Try adding a new kind of cheese to sandwiches; feta is a delicious salty cheese that many young people discover they like. You can prepare rice or vermicelli salads with finely diced raw or leftover vegetables and a yummy vinaigrette.

Check the weekly specials at the grocery store; when berries or unique

fruits and vegetables are on sale, give them a try. Sliced zucchini makes a nice substitute for cucumber, and avocado halves eaten with a spoon out of the shell make a creamy, healthy vegetable alternative.

Try mixing flavours to add novelty; put a few walnut halves, dried cranberries, or mango slices in a chicken salad sandwich. Turn lunch prep into a family affair.

Children will be more tempted to taste a bean salad or a spinach pizza if they helped to make it.

KEEP ON LEARNING

Help your children to learn to love school Does your child complain of a stomach ache every morning, hoping he’ll have a day at home? Does she drag her heels as she gets on the school bus?

Children who resist going to school might not be seeing its relevance in their lives, or they might be unsure about their abilities. As a parent, your attitude and your actions play a vital role in how your children

feel about learning. Here are five ways to get your kid feeling better about school: 1. Marks aren’t everything.

Children hate being judged solely on their marks. It’s true that results are important, but above all, take an interest in what they are learning.

2. Make learning fun. If your children are not succeeding because they find a subject boring, try and find out what exactly is boring them. Perhaps there’s a way to personalize the learning method or to find another angle that can make the subject more interesting; interactive studying is just one example. Remember that it’s normal to prefer one subject over another and to not succeed equally well in all of them. It’s the same for adults!

3. Get involved. Your children will enjoy school a lot more if they realize that school is important to you. Be sure to attend parent-teacher meetings at the beginning of the year, and consider becoming a volunteer for some school activities.

4. Routine is important.

Help your children get into the habit of doing homework at the same time every day.

Being regular will make the inevitable work seem less painful than panicking at the last minute, such as before bed or at breakfast time the next morning.

5. Press the “pause” button.

Ensure that there is some free time in your children’s schedules so they can relax, play, and reduce their stress levels.

KEEP ON LEARNING Changing schools can be smooth transition Let’s all unite to Having to move house can be a major source of stress for children.

When a change of school is also involved, the emotional impact can be huge. Children need the support of their parents in order for this transition to go as smo­othly as possible.

Just because they are young doesn’t mean that children can adapt easily to upheaval in their lives. Just as adults do, kids need time to get used to change.

The stress of a transition might manifest itself as sudden mood swings, nightmares, or minor physical discomfort. Even insomnia can make an appearance. To prevent some of these reactions, parents have everything to gain by preparing their children for a move.

The best kind of start is to put all your cards on the table and explain frankly to children why they have to move and what it will involve. After this, parents must listen carefully as they give children time to verbalize their worries. It is important that children feel comfortable expressing what they are feeling.

For the transition to go smoothly, it is essential that parents supply points of reference for their children. Taking the time to visit new classrooms, meet the teachers, and see

eradicate bullying

According to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, at least one Canadian teenager out of three can tell stories about what it’s like to be a victim of bullying at school.

Other Canadian studies show that bullying occurs every seven minutes in the playground and every 25 minutes in the classroom.

Do these statistics shock you? Whether you’re a student, parent, or educator, you have a role to play in putting an end to bullying.

Parents have everything to gain by preparing their children emotionally for a move. other students will help them develop more confidence. On the way home, a conversation about the positive aspects of the visit will help other fears to dissipate.

Of course, parents should not expect that

all their children’s misgivings will disappear like magic. But by being calm and patient, parents can make their children feel secure enough that the transition to a new school and neighbourhood can go smoothly.

TYPES OF BULLYING

Bullying is not only about pushing people around or calling them names. There are in fact four principal types of bullying, and being able to identify them is a first step

in the fight to eradicate this scourge.

Verbal bullying includes insults, sarcasms, teasing, the spreading of rumours, threats, inappropriate sexual comments, and slurs about culture, race, religion, gender, or sexual-orientation.

Social bullying includes group threats, making a scapegoat of someone, exclusion, public humiliation, and demeaning graffiti.

Physical bullying includes hitting, pushing, pinching, hounding, jostling, stealing or destroying possessions, and sexual touching of an undesirable nature.

Cyberbullying includes using the Internet or text messaging to bully, humiliate, make fun of, or circulate rumours about someone.

The joy of reading is a gift to children

TAE E. LEE

Is your child involved in too many activities?

We always want the best for our children. But sometimes we do too much for them, such as enrolling them in too many extra-curricular activities. When we do that, we deprive them of the creativity that comes from free time and the relationship building that comes from just being together.

It’s normal to want our children to nurture a passion outside the classroom, and to learn self-discipline and focus; those are all good reasons to sign them up for classes in riding, karate, or guitar. Getting them involved in more than a couple of activities per

week, however, can become a source of tension and stress in the home. Beyond logistical and time demands, it can also seriously cut into relaxed family time and edge out creative play. It causes stress in children when their activities become oriented towards performance and achievement. It’s important to leave room for unstructured play that is unsupervised by adults.

It might mean a shift of perspective for many of us, but “free” play is not a waste of time. On the contrary, it can help children learn to manage their time according to their

own rules and to develop their creativity.

On the afternoons and evenings when no extracurricular sports or artistic activities are on the menu, family meals can regain their rightful place in the schedule. It is the perfect time to gather, share the highlights of the day, and build the loving relationships that are so beneficial to our children.

A balance between school, family life, scheduled activities, and free time is essential.

The lesson of the day is very simple: aim for balance in everything; it is the surest route to happiness.

When they are school-age, 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.

A good balance between school, family life, scheduled activities, and free time is essential.

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

Teacher strike worries diminish after deal reached Steph Willems Steph.willems@metroland.com

Parents of high school students are no doubt welcoming the news of tentative agreements forged between the province and the unions representing public and Catholic secondary school teachers.

On Aug. 20, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) released details of a contract agreement to its members, just days after returning to the table at the request of Premier Kathleen Wynne. Those details were then leaked to media outlets.

Bargaining talks between the OSSTF, province and Public School Boards’ Association broke off earlier this summer, with the impasse leaving many in fear of a fall teacher’s strike.

Under the contract, which still has to be voted on by members, teachers would see a one per cent lump sum payment this year, followed by a one per cent salary bump next year, and a half a per cent the year after.

Sick leave and benefits would

also be boosted, and an extra PA day would be added to the school year. The union had earlier claimed that the labour strife wasn’t related to salaries - rather, it was taking action to ensure the autonomy of teachers within the school board environment.

The OSSTF stated that the increased would be paid for with savings found elsewhere in the education budget, as required under the province’s ‘net zero’ bargaining stance. The ratification process was expected to begin immediately.

News of the tentative agreement was warmly welcomed by the Ottawa Carleton District School Board, whose full-time and occasional teachers are represented by the OSSTF. “This is excellent news for secondary students and their families and for our staff,” said Shirley Seward, chair of the board. “Although we have not seen the details, I am hopeful that this will lay the foundation for fair and fully funded negotiated agreements with our other labour partners, provincially and locally”.

Jennifer Adams, the OCDSB’s director of education, echoed that sentiment.

“This is very positive news and an excellent step forward in the negotiations process,” she said. “Across the district, our staff is preparing for the first day of school on September 8 and I know that everyone - staff, students and parents - will be encouraged with this news.”

On Aug. 25, the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association (OECTA) announced that it would be suspending its work-torule campaign after also reaching a tentative agreement. No details were released about that agreement pending ratification, though Ontario Education Minister Liz Sandals did say it was a net-zero deal.

Other teachers’ unions, such as the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario, which were promising varying levels of labour action, are all expected to return to the bargaining table before the first day of school.

Pet Adoptions

KOKOette (ID#A178725)

File

-With files from Torstar News Unions representing public and Catholic secondary school teachers have reached a Service tentative deal with the province

Meet Kokotte (ID#A178725) a quiet, affectionate cat looking for her purr-fect match.

Kokotte is an extremely loving cat that adores oneon-one attention. She loves to be picked up and petted and will sleep with you in your bed at night.

Kokotte would prefer a quiet, relaxed home. She would enjoy a big window where she can spend the day bird watching.

For more information on Kokoette and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

PET OF THE WEEK

You wouldn’t let it happen to a backpack exponentially more meaningful and important — like your furry family member?

Last year alone, the Ottawa Humane Society cared for more than 5,000 lost pets. Sixty one per cent of dogs were reunited with their families but only six and a half per cent of cats. Many of the cats were clearly indoor cats. Very few dogs or cats had any form of identification whatsoever. Had these family members been microchipped, the OHS could have sent them all home — every last beloved pet.

Just ask Nadja, who was reunited with her beloved cat Boo here at the OHS last December. Boo went missing in late November. Because

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:

Website: www.ottawahumane.ca Email: Adoptions@ottawahumane.ca Telephone: (613) 725-3166 x258

Boo was microchipped, he was back in Nadja’s arms for Christmas — just hours after he was brought here by a Good Samaritan.

Won’t you make the same effort for your pet that you make for your child’s backpack? A microchip implant is a permanent ticket home for your best friend.

The OHS holds monthly microchip clinics and our next one is coming up on September 27. The cost is $50 — a small price to pay for peace of mind. Dates for future OHS microchip clinics can be found at: www.ottawahumane.ca/microchip.

For more information, call 613-7253166 ext. 221 or e-mail microchip@ ottawahumane.ca.

Molly Hi my name is Molly. I turned 4 years old on Canada day. Although I am rather small for my breed, Cavalier King Charles, I make up for it in my super size personality and my love for everyone I meet. I have a passion for fast cars and the windows down while I wear my shades to protect my eyes. But I also love chilling and posing on the nearest lap or furniture in my zen moods.

At this time of year, many parents are busy sewing or ironing name tags into their children’s jackets, gym shorts and backpacks in preparation for the upcoming return to school.

This year, as always, parents hope that these things won’t go missing during the academic year. If they were to go missing, parents hope that the items can be easily retrieved from the lost and found box or that someone will return them to their child. Parents hope this and sometimes it happens.

If it doesn’t, usually it’s not that big a deal. Most children’s jackets and gym shorts are pretty inexpensive.

Few have sentimental value.

With that in mind, what if there was a way to identify something

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 Conflicting instructions make it difficult to please others this week, Aries. Try your best to meet others’ needs, and look to others for help if the need arises.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your stubbornness can sometimes be an asset, but don’t let it get in the way this week. Approach a task with a new perspective and don’t hesitate to solicit others’ opinions.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, even though you are reluctant to show your hand this week, others know what’s on your mind. It’s tough for you to remain aloof when you seem like an open book.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You are full of energy this week, Cancer, so put it to good use. Lend a hand to others who have a lot on their plates and tackle some lingering projects of your own as well.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, don’t take anything for granted this week. A project might go off without a hitch, but you need to be prepared in case it does not.

Remain aware.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may be so engrossed in your own routine that you miss some of the subtle goings-on at work. If suddenly you feel out of the loop, make an effort to be more in the know.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, speak up about a situation that you feel needs to be addressed.

Your voice won’t be heard if you remain quiet, but your point of view offers some valuable insight.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, rather than focusing on your own progress this week, see what you can learn from others without making everything a competition.

This can be a special learning process.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may be doing your best to demonstrate your good intentions, but others may not be satisfied with your efforts.

Reexamine your approach.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 A big payoff awaits if you work hard and exercise patience this week, Capricorn. Although you may be pushing for immediate results, the outcome will take some time.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Don’t abandon your spontaneity this week, Aquarius. Hang out with others who appreciate flying by the seat of their pants. You will be in for a good time later in the week.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 A sense of self-confidence does not mean that everything will immediately go your way, Pisces. You still need to work hard to have things play out right.
