audits and train staff to ensure incidents in the library branches are properly reported. The addition of a child-porn filter is a direct result of that work, said library board chairwoman Coun. Jan Harder. The filter will only prevent the viewing of illegal child pornography – not legal porn. “We’re focused on preventing illegal activity in the library,” Stirling said.

News - Learning math and arithmetic doesn’t have to be dull or hard. Just ask South Ottawa teenager Kevin Wang, who stars on a made-inOttawa show designed to help young students learn the numbers subject. The second season of The Prime Radicals launched on Sept. 5 on TVOKids in the province and across Canada. The show, said Kevin, puts the fun back into learning math. The series follows the Ontario math curriculum for children ages 6 to 8, and features Kevin 9as Kevin) and co-stars Alanna Bale (Alanna) and Norman MacQueen as Uncle Norm. Each 14-minute live action episode was shot in and around Ottawa. The Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans was home to The Prime Radicals, which includes, as seen on the show, Uncle Norman’s workshop. The Radicals – cousins Kevin and Alanna – come to the rescue every time on the scene of Uncle Norm’s latest misadventure. They enlist experts to help them solve Uncle Norm’s problems with mathematical solutions. Five local singers contributed and recorded vocals for the opening tunes at General Assembly Production Centre, the entertainment company producing the show, at their studio on Laperriere Street in West Ottawa. Ottawa viewers will recognize many notable landmarks on the show, including Pinto Valley Ranch, a local dairy farm, and Fulton’s Sugar Bush.

News - For the first time, the Ottawa Public Library has taken steps to filter its Internet connection to prevent child pornography from being viewed or downloaded. The Ottawa Public Library already filters content viewed by children by using their library cards to block sexual, hateful, violent or gambling-related content, said Jennifer Stirling, the

library’s manager of technology and innovation. Now, the library is in the process of acquiring software that will prevent child pornography from being viewed on any library computer throughout the city. The filter will extend to the library’s Wi-Fi network so the illegal material can’t be viewed on people’s laptops or other devices. The library has been working with the police this year to conduct safety

Mom to Mom Sale ready to give back Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

give back to our community because of all the great family-oriented events they put on for Riverside South,� she said. A few changes are in order for this year’s event, including using a larger space which allows for more vendors and more space for shoppers to get around. All vendor tables were sold out fairly quickly this time around, so the organizers are not looking for any more participants. Uchman said this event really does help to promote community-centred events and creates a fun atmosphere while raising money to give back. The Mom to Mom sale takes place between 9 a.m. and noon on Sept. 28.

News - Families can shop till they drop for a good cause next weekend. Riverside South’s second-annual Mom to Mom Sale will set up shop at the Rideauview Community Centre on Sept. 28. Proceeds from the admission’s sales of the event will go back to the community to help fund a number of future events the Riverside South Community Association hosts throughout the year, such as Canada Day celebrations, the Santa breakfast, and sleigh rides. The idea for the Mom to Mom Sale sprouted as an idea between Tatum Uchman and two other moms in the community – Jennifer Riviere and Cara Bernard.

Items sold at the event are gently used materials sold for a discounted price to parents in the community who need not go out of town to purchase items for their child. Riding on the tails of this April’s successful mom to mom sale, which collected $400 for the community, the trio decided to organize one for the fall. Thanks to much positive feedback from the community, they decided it would be a good idea to host another one, but in the fall. On sale for savvy shoppers will be gently-used items, such as clothes, books, and toys for children, with plenty of great finds for parents just in time for the fall and winter. Their goal is to surpass last year’s fundraising total, said Uchman. “We felt that it was important to

Despite the weather, many Christians flocked to Britannia Park last year for the first Rock the River music festival. The Metropolitan Bible Church on Prince of Wales Drive in Ottawa South will be the site of this year’s Rock the River Ottawa, a Christian music festival in its second year.

R0012311577_0919

SUBMITTED

Rock the River bring Christians together with music News - A Christian music festival hopes to bring all churches under one roof to celebrate God. The second annual Rock the River Ottawa is set to rock the rooms and halls of The Metropolitan Bible Church on Prince of Wales Drive on Sept. 28. Organizing committee member Michael Price said the big difference between last year’s event and this year’s is the location. “It’s going to be a lot of fun for everyone, and we are really hoping to see a lot of families come out,â€? he said. Last year’s edition took place at Britannia Park, and while the inaugural event attracted thousands of people, Mother Nature wasn’t as kind, as the skies broke and rain poured for a portion of the outdoor concert. The MET, as it’s known, offered the use of their church for the festival, which not only includes a diverse concert lineup, but a children’s zone from 1 to 3 p.m., followed by family-friendly activities. Featuring Christian children’s musical group Go Fish, the show is designed primarily for children ages ďŹ ve and up. From 6 to 10 p.m., popular Canadian Christian rock groups Thousand Foot Krutch and The City Harmonic will be joined by hip-hop artists Prosper & GPM, as well as Da’ T.R.U.T.H. Joining Rock the River is guest motivational speaker Bob Lenz.

“The good news is that it can rain all it wants,â€? said chair Randy Jost on the ofďŹ cial website. Jost said how the MET is reaching out to all churches to join in the day’s events. “Our leadership team of 18 pastors and Christian leaders from across the region have been working diligently on your behalf to bring this edition of Rock the River Ottawa to fruition,â€? he said. Rock the River began as a culmination of a partnership between the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Ottawa region churches. More than 13,000 people attended the festival, which took place over two days. Although they are not partnering with the evangelistic organization, they have received their support to continue organizing this year’s event.

After the library board receives an update on the initiative in November, Stirling said the hope is to have the filter in use at all library branches in Ottawa before the end of the year. The software is cloud-based so instead of a one-time purchasing fee, the city will pay around $33,000 U.S. a year for access to the filter. The money will come from the library’s existing budget, Stirling said.

Actor nervous during audition process Continued from page 1

Fresh off working on the second season last summer, Kevin, now 14, was only 10 years old when cast in the show. It was thanks to Kevin’s Kumon math tutor that he got the audition for The Prime Radicals. “They were looking for a young boy at the time,� he said. AUDITION

After auditioning for the role, which was originally slated to go to an older actor, Kevin wound up cast due to his natural acting flair, his ability to pay attention to the script, his comedic actions and because he was deemed the best match for Alanna and Uncle Norm. Those memories are but a blur to Kevin, who remembers only being nervous during the audition process and not really knowing what to expect. “At that time, I was 10, and I didn’t know what it was really going to be like,� he said. “I was nervous. This was like the biggest opportunity for me so far at that time as a kid. It was a great experience. I’m grateful I had that opportunity.� “It’s definitely the biggest and best thing that’s happened to me. Not everyone gets the opportunity to do something like this.� Much like the second season, the first one was shot over a summer on a tight schedule, which could be tiring and stressful, but the crew found a way to make it fun, said Kevin. “I enjoyed it, even though it could be tiring,� he said. Memorizing hundreds of lines was a challenge in the beginning, but he quickly got the hang of it thanks to much support from the crew and his

There were areas which welcomed improvisation, but the cast stuck to the script as much as possible, he said. The episodes themselves were shot in random order due to the availability of guests on the show, he added. The production company waited for funding from the Ontario government for the second season. A third season is still up in the air as it depends on funding, said Kevin. “If an opportunity arises to act again, I will go for it,� he said. “I had such a great time filming the show.� Little did he know The Prime Radicals would be a

stepping stone towards what may turn out to be a promising career for him. STEPPING STONE

It’s been a whirlwind of an adventure for Kevin, who is now in grade 10 at Lisgar Collegiate in downtown Ottawa. He looks back to the time he was shooting the first season and sees how he has personally changed – for the better – into a more mature teenager who quickly learned life and work skills thanks to an award-winning show “There were times when I would be rolling on the floor laughing,� he recalled. “It was definitely hard to keep a straight face, especially

as an immature little kid.� But with guidance and support from people like Uncle Norm and senior producer Hoda Elatawi, it made the experience much more special. “I was learning something new every day on set,� Kevin said. “There are so many things that can be transferrable.� One of his favourite memories was when a magician appeared as a guest on the show. There was a definite element of surprise, because one wouldn’t think math has anything to do with magic, he said. But perhaps his best memories come from the times when they shot a segment right in Ottawa. “That’s something I’ll never forget,� he said. “I can recognize a place I went to, and there’s a sense of nostalgia, and I can remember what a great experience I had there.� Kevin, who grew up watching TVOKids shows like The Magic School Bus and Arthur, said times have certainly changed where children’s TV shows are concerned. Gone are the mostly educational shows, he said, and in their place are the cartoon shows with not much of a solid purpose other than to entertain. “A lot of kids are watching shows these days that aren’t productive,� he said. “That’s why The Prime Radicals is such a great idea. So many (kids) think that they won’t get math because they see it as being too hard. But there are so many ways you can make math fun for kids who are learning it. If kids learn they can have fun while learning, they’ll be able to absorb that information much better.� “It fuels that interest in a young child, and perhaps they’ll pursue it as a career one

day. Math is used in every job in one way or another.� The series has prompted him to look into chasing a dream of producing a similar type of show, but perhaps focusing on another subject area, such as science, he said. The Prime Radicals’ second season has already picked up two international awards even before its launch date. For more information on The Prime Radicals, please visit www.tvokids.com.

It’s time for a dyslexia strategy

A

s our three-part series about dyslexia has illustrated, the learning disability is not well understood and support is lacking. For every child in the school system who shows signs of dyslexia, there should be someone looking out for them. We need better diagnosis, better support and more people involved in making sure we don’t leave kids behind because of their condition. A learning disability doesn’t mean a child can’t learn, it means the education system must find a better way to teach them. We all lose when a child can’t reach their potential. Dyslexia is a proven medical condition that’s detectable by a neurological scan yet there is no term in the diagnostic manual used by psychologists to clearly establish what help is needed. The education system is failing these students because there is next to no training on identification of dyslexia in Ontario teachers colleges. Even if your child has no learning disability, it’s in every child’s best interests to have resources provided – time and people and teaching methods – to address the needs of kids with dyslexia. A

teacher who has no training or extra time available must reduce time spent with all students if they are to help a child with a learning disability keep pace with his or her classmates. The statistics surrounding dyslexia are ominous. According to the International Dyslexia Association, 15 to 20 per cent of people in Ontario have some form of dyslexia, and 80 to 90 per cent of all learning disabilities can be attributed to the condition. Dyslexia is the only learning disability where you have to prove a child has it in order to get any support. The two largest school boards in Ottawa – both public and Catholic – will carry out a maximum of five assessments per school annually, far below the number of kids affected if the statistics are accurate. That leaves parents to pay for testing, and if they can’t afford it, a child goes untested and unhelped. That’s unCanadian. One expert quoted in our series suggests every child could learn to read using a phonetics-based teaching method that’s not available in the schools, further proof that it’s not our kids who are failing, but the entire education system.

Hope springs eternal as autumn blows into town

P

eople are starting to look for the leaves to turn, but in fact this is Canadian spring. Scoff, if you want, but then think about it. Spring, as we all know, is the time when the trees are sprouting, the flowers are budding, hope springs eternal and everything is new. It traditionally occurs in March or April, depending upon how far south you are, and the sporting metaphor is spring training. When spring training begins, every baseball team has a chance to win, theoretically. The shortcomings of the fall are ancient history and now all the people who were injured last season are all better now. Plus, there is a group of new players, each one better than the one before, each primed to crack the starting lineup. Spring is so wonderful. In our country, the spring phenomenon happens in the early fall. It happens right now. You can tell by reading the sports pages as they chronicle the preseason training camps of local hockey teams across the country. Hope springs eternal and everything is new. In Ottawa, every Senator who was hurt last year is in the best shape ever. The players who have arrived by trade are better than the ones who were traded. Some are even better

The players who spent most of their time in Binghamton are ready to spend all of their time with the big club. The flowers are budding, the leaves are sprouting. Never mind that soon they will fall off. Never mind, because we’re not done yet with being offered words of hope in the newspapers and on the radio. Don’t forget the numerous enthusiastic descriptions of the rookies, the players who were just drafted, who haven’t played a shift in the NHL, but look like they might be ready, even now.

and be brought along slowly, but their talent is just so exceptional, not to mention their maturity, that they could well make the leap to the NHL. In Canadian spring, the general manager has a tough job deciding among all those deserving players, each one of them worthy of significant ice time in the big leagues. But it’s a problem he’s just glad to have. The team is healthier and deeper, and just in case it temporarily stops being healthy and deep, well, there are all those capable youngsters just waiting for their chance. The fans read all this stuff and hope comes to them. Just in time, too, because the baseball season hasn’t turned out exactly as they had anticipated. They want to believe: the ability to believe is what makes you a fan, rather than a critic or a professor or a political operative. There is so little to believe in unconditionally in these difficult and complicated times. Politics is tainted. Education is unfathomable. Even religion is less perfect than you would like it to be. But the home team: there’s something you can have faith in, no matter what. There is a certain innocence in being a fan. You put away your skepticism, saving it for your

place of work. You don’t analyze, you don’t hesitate. You believe and you read the sports pages and listen to the sports talk radio. Hockey spring is in the air and you have a spring in your step. There are cynics out there, of course, who might think they’ve read it all before -- read it, in fact, just prior to seasons that turned out to be an absolute disaster. But most fans are not cynical, at least not this early. Maybe later in the season the cynicism will creep in, when somehow the promise of the preseason doesn’t pan out. But not just now. It’s spring.

Sleep isn’t a luxury – it’s essential to good health

I

f health statistics are to be believed, I spent most of the winter living like most of you, dear readers. In other words, I ate too much, sat too much, drank too much and failed to get 150 minutes of exercise per week, (like a shocking 80 per cent of adult Canadians). These are all things that contribute to chronic disease and early death. As a recent Maclean’s cover story highlighted, however, there’s something else that’s debilitating and slowly killing us -- sleep deprivation. Adults require 8.5 hours of sleep, on average, per night, yet most of us are running a devastating sleep deficit. The June 24th feature highlighted a number of disturbing medical studies that would suggest it’s time to better prioritize sleep in our lives. One, out the University of Chicago, restricted seven healthy, thin volunteers to 4.5 hours of sleep per night. “Their very cells had been transformed,” summarizes journalist Luiza Ch. Savage in Maclean’s. “It was as if the bodies of the otherwise healthy specimens had been swapped with that of someone else: someone heavy and sick.” Savage goes onto summarize a number of international studies that not only link sleep deprivation to depleted cell growth and repair, diabetes and obesity, but also to decreased pain tolerance, weakened memory and impaired social judgment. One scientist quoted in the article went so far as to suggest that sleep deprived individuals act in a similar way to those under the influence of alcohol, even putting women at higher risk of sexual harassment and unwanted pregnancies. Just last week, my family doctor mentioned research circulating in the medical community that seems to be strengthening the link between long-term sleep deprivation and fibro-

myalgia, a chronic pain and fatigue disorder. Ninety per cent of fibromyalgia patients are women.

A 2011 Norwegian study on the subject shockingly concluded that long-term sleep deprivation triples women’s risk of getting fibromyalgia. Researchers began by interviewing 12,350 healthy, pain-free women about their sleep habits. A decade later, those who had identified sleep difficulties at the beginning of the study were three times more likely than those who said they slept well to have developed fibromyalgia symptoms. All this is horrible and shocking, but is it enough to make a nation of fatigued individu-

als change our behaviour? Probably not. But what if we consider how inadequate sleep affects our children? I have friends -- mothers -- that haven’t had a full night’s sleep in more than a decade. They don’t believe in sleep-training, they say, which means they’ve got toddlers waking every two hours to feed and school-aged children refusing bedtimes or waking up frequently with night terrors.

Now that summer has arrived, I’m happy to say that I’m no longer eating, drinking and sitting all day long. In fact, I’m working out two hours per day minimum. The only exception is on days when I don’t get a good night’s sleep. Thankfully, even with an infant (who sleeps 11 hours consecutively per night, on average), we’ve managed to keep those to a minimum.

Lees TOD Study Don Morse, Planner 613-580-2424, ext. 13850 Donald.Morse@ottawa.ca

Although my friends seem to be coping for the moment -- I’m not sure how -- I worry about their health in 10 years’ time, and the health of their children. Children need a lot more sleep than parents realize. School-age kids need 10-11 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night to be healthy. Kids under four need 11-12 hours of consecutive sleep per night, plus 2-3 hours during the day. And what happens if they don’t? Well, not only does it put their immune systems at higher risk of contracting viruses, but, as Savage notes in her Maclean’s piece, researchers have found “inadequate sleep in children has been linked to hyperactivity and even incorrect diagnosis of attention deficit disorder (ADD).” Recently, we were experiencing some issues with one of our children. Was it ADD? He seemed chronically anxious, temperamental and frustratingly inattentive. It wasn’t until I started researching sleep that I realized he’s been running a deficit for several weeks – call it end-of-school fever. We rolled back his bedtime by an hour and, within a week, he’s become a different kid. When I’ve advocated for sleep training to some parents, they’ve made the false assumption that sleep training causes anxiety.

In fact, the opposite is true. Most disturbing to me, as a parent, is the link between sleep deprivation and depression, including chronic depression leading to suicide. As a parent, I see it as my responsibility -- not a mere choice – to teach my kids to respect sleep, and show them, with love, how to get there, from as early as possible.

CHEO lottery offers Dream of a Lifetime emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario was hoping to make one lucky winner’s dreams come true even as burglars were making off with some of the dream home’s backyard goodies. CHEO staff launched this year’s Dream of a Lifetime lottery on Monday, Sept. 16, a day after two people broke into the Manotick mansion’s backyard and stole a patio set and a barbecue in broad daylight. Sandy Burke, design consultant for Minto’s Mahogany development where the dream home is located, said the thieves were literally stealing from children. “I don’t know if anyone thought of that, but there’s a big sign out front

(labelling it the CHEO dream home),â€? he said. “Today’s the launch, and there are pieces missing. It’s a special day.â€? Police are investigating and Burke said one of the thieves looked right into the security camera, something which hopefully will aid investigators. “We’ll get that taken care of,â€? he said. The 5568-square-foot dream home is located off Manotick Main Street in a new development by Minto. It is built in the French provincial style, Burke said, and includes four bedrooms upstairs – two of which are master bedrooms. A ďŹ fth bedroom on the main oor was set up as a games room during the launch. The home also features ďŹ ve bathrooms, several sitting rooms and a large kitchen which boasts an eight-person dining room table and several large stainless

steel appliances. The ďŹ nished basement feels more like a classy lounge; small pods of seating areas are spread out among the entertainment systems, with a mini kitchen along the wall. Even the kids’ recreation room has its own TV, one of many throughout the house. A personal exercise room completes the picture. CHEO chief executive Alex Munter joked that he almost missed the launch because he was lost upstairs; and with all the joining rooms, walkin closets and roomy bathrooms, it’s not an unthinkable possibility.

Ava was recently diagnosed with ketotic hypoglycemia, a rare but serious form of low blood sugar. “She’s taken a few ambulance rides to CHEO as a result of that,� Ryan said.

ville resident, spent many hours in the hospital as a child while her younger sister struggled with congenital heart disease – an experience that inspired her to become a nurse and work at CHEO herself for a short time. But Ryan’s experience with CHEO was just beginning. “Little did I know my husband and I would return to CHEOâ€? as their daughter Ava failed to thrive. At three months of age, Ava suffered extreme discomfort after feeding, and was prone to projectile vomiting. At three months old, Ava was admitted to CHEO and diagnosed with failure to thrive, severe acid reux and several food allergies. She stayed at CHEO for ďŹ ve weeks before she was able to come home, although she continued to be closely monitored as an outpatient. Ava got better, but around her second birthday her parents started to notice different symptoms. One morning, she was sweating, trembling and difďŹ cult to wake up. As a nurse, Ryan recognized the symptoms as hypoglycaemia, and called the ambulance.

My sister Shannon suffered from a congenital heart disease, a condition that made it difficult for her to eat, breathe or move. She was so fragile that she spent the entire first year of her life at CHEO, so I ended up spending my days at the hospital with my parents and my sister. CHEO became my second home: it was where my family and I spent most of our time, where my sister went to preschool and where I made friends.

B M E V O N , Y A D I R F

I remember that the staff at CHEO always made time for me whether it was by saying hello, giving me a hug or taking me to the playroom, while my sister underwent various procedures. The nurses, especially, were my heroes; it was their caring words and gentle touch that carried my family through some very difficult days.

WITH SO MANY GREAT PRIZES IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THERE’S MORE!

Unfortunately, two weeks before her fourth birthday, Shannon passed away. Her strength and resilience throughout her illness were exceptional and she always had a smile for me.

At three months of age, Ava was admitted to CHEO where she was diagnosed with failure to thrive, severe acid reflux and several food allergies. Failure to thrive is a condition that can have serious repercussions on a child’s stature, emotional and behavioral development. Ava required a hypoallergenic formula via continuous nasogastric feeds (a feeding tube placed in the nose) and a few medications to help settle her stomach. After a five week stay at CHEO, she was transitioned to thickened bottles and we were finally able to bring her home. Following her discharge, Ava continued to thrive with outpatient support from CHEO, and although she was smaller than most kids her age, she seemed to be on the upswing.

But one morning I found Ava sweating, trembling and difficult to arouse. That day Ava had the first of a few ambulance rides back to CHEO where she was recently diagnosed with ketotic hypoglycemia, a rare but serious form of Little did I know then that my husband and I would return to CHEO once we became parents. low blood sugar.

Several years later, inspired by the amazing nursing staff at CHEO, I became a nurse—and funnily, as part of my training in the Bachelor of Nursing, I worked on the same unit where my sister had been treated.

Unfortunately, once at home we noticed that something was wrong. Ava would have projectile vomiting after every single feed. No experience or education could have prepared us for the stress associated with having a sick child.

Disney daytrip upcoming for local children Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - The energy in the room was like Christmas morning, as children milled about getting their photos snapped and measurements taken on Sept. 8 at the Museum of Science and Technology. The lucky kids were chosen to go to Disney World with the Dreams Take Flight program, an organization run by Air Canada employees that takes children on the day trip of a lifetime. The children, nominated by teachers, doctors, social workers or support organizations for a variety of reasons, will board an early morning plane on Sept. 24 and head to the happiest place on Earth: Disney World. Dreams Take Flight operates in eight Canadian cities, and has run in Ottawa since 1995. The Air Canada flight crew are all volunteers, and the day-long flight makes a trip that wouldn’t be possible for most of the children. While some of the children had clearly been thinking

dren have grown up in foster homes, or without the financial means for this type of trip to be possible. They arrive at the airport extremely early in the morning, and get to spend the day at Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Fla.. A budget is allocated for food for everyone, with a bit set aside for each child to purchase a souvenir to bring home. The tired children will land back in Ottawa late in the evening before heading home with a backpack of goodies and donated items. Twelve-year-old Taequan Moise, from Metcalfe, said he thinks the day will be a “10 out of 10�. Brennan Gore-Miron, from Westboro, said he’s a big fan of water, so he’s excited to go on the Splash Mountain ride with his group’s volunteer. And while Hunter Larocque, 8, from Overbrook, has never been on a rollercoaster before, it’s what he’s most looking forward to. He’s also looking forward to meeting his favourite Disney character – Mickey Mouse.

The children are put into different groups to travel around the park for the day with volunteers. For many, Sept. 24 will be the first time leaving the country or boarding an airplane. But there will be one same first for all the children – one of the requirements to be chosen is that kids can never have been to Disney World before. “Our job is to give them magical memories,� Goulet said. ITINERARY FOR THE DAY:

4 a.m. – Children arrive at the Ottawa airport 5:30 a.m. – Flight leaves for Orlando, ice cream sandwiches for breakfast 9:45 a.m. – Children and volunteers take ferry to Magic Kingdom 5:30 p.m. – Dinner time. Then each child is allowed to purchase a souvenir for themselves with donated funds 11 p.m. – Meet with parents and guardians back in Ottawa.

News - Museopark is offering Vanier residents a different kind of walk in the park this fall. The Writers Walk exhibit officially opened on Sept. 12 and invites visitors to take a walk through Richelieu Park, where the work of 30 influential franco-Ontarian authors will be displayed. The museum’s curator, Janik Aubin-Robert, said the purpose of this exhibit is to highlight francophone literature. “This exhibit is to give people the opportunity to discover important francophone authors that have had an influence on francophone literature,” Aubin-Robert said. The exhibit is permanent and will allow people the opportunity to read a little about the authors along a trail, which is a few kilometres long. Admission to the outdoor exhibit is free.

Aubin-Robert said the beauty of this exhibit is its proximity to a local library branch, where the authors’ books are available. The curator added the exhibit is not just for local residents out for a walk. “(People) should come out and see the exhibit, experience the Richelieu Park and check out the wonderful urban sugar shack and maple grove,” she said.

Support services fill in gaps for dyslexic students In the third of a three-part series about dyslexia, we examine remedial services offered by private schools and unavailable in the public system Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Ricki-Lee Pitman never liked school. It was always a struggle and while she never failed, she was never at the top of her class. “I would always get comments about my organization,” she said. “And the syntax I used in my writing.” Early on in her elementary school career, Pitman’s family figured out that she had attention deficit disorder. “My dad put me in sports to help me be the best I could be,” she said. “Using up all the extra energy help with my emotional state, my grades and my relationships.” But there was still an underlying problem. Pitman graduated from Brookfield High School. But before she headed to Carleton University to start her degree in psychology a family member advised she be tested for dyslexia. “I knew I had ADD (attention deficit disorder), so I thought I would go to the Paul Menton Centre,” she said. The centre is designed to help diagnose and accommodate potential barriers to learning. A few simple surveys with a learning co-ordinator highlighted some of Pitman’s problem areas. Pitman said without it, she might not have graduated. “She told me it was likely that I had dyslexia,” Pitman said. The University of Ottawa has a centre for students with disabilities, as does Algonquin College. Both centres aim to offer learning support for students with both learning and physical disabilities. Pitman said her initial diagnosis was a relief, but at the same time she was on unfamiliar ground. “It was the first time I considered not everyone thinks this way,” she said. Before she could get supports for class though, Pitman needed a psychological assessment that would show her strengths and weaknesses in learning. Many parents, frustrated with a lack of support in the public school system have turned to private schools that specialize in helping those students who are being left behind. SEEKING HELP PRIVATELY

Over the last couple of decades, private psychologists have begun to offer assessments and other services to take up the slack from an overloaded and underfunded public school system. But doing the testing privately can be expensive. “Thankfully the learning co-ordinator from the Paul Menton Centre 24

was able to help me get a grant so I wasn’t faced with a huge expense.” Derek Rhodenizer, vice-principal at Heritage Academy of Learning Excellence in Ottawa, said Pitman’s story isn’t unheard of. Heritage is a private school aimed at helping students with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. “A psycho-educational assessment, even if a student is able to receive one in the public system won’t recognize dyslexia,” he said, adding the waits for testing are long. In Ontario, the Niagara Catholic School Board is one of only a handful that recognizes the term. “There are lots of strains of dyslexia, it can be found in neurological brain scans,” he said, adding the scientific proof should afford the condition its own diagnosis. Dr. Tim Hogan, head psychologist at the Ottawa-Carleton District School said the term isn’t used because it isn’t recognized in the diagnostic manual available to psychologists. “We use a more broad-based term like language-learning disabilities,” he said. According to the Canadian Dyslexia Association, it’s a condition that relies more heavily on the right brain, preventing the person from learning to read in the conventional way, for example, using word memory. Rhodenizer said because the schools don’t recognize the condition, kids get streamed into special education classes that don’t help them learn to read. He said only specific methods – provided by Heritage and another private school called the Mindware Academy – are useful in teaching dyslexics to learn to read.

My brother was diagnosed in Grade 3 and they told my mother the best she could hope for was that he would trade baseball cards for a living. CHERYL WARD HERITAGE ACADEMY OF LEARNING EXCELLENCE

An American study by the National Institute for Mental Health discovered that 80 to 90 per cent of all learning disabilities are forms of dyslexia. It also found that 95 per cent of those cases can be fixed if intervention happens at kindergarten. “We use a mix of teaching methods and assistive technology here at Heritage,” Rhodenizer said. In Pitman’s case, she found having a laptop and a note taker in her class-

Ricki-Lee Pitman, pictured at home on her computer, now works for the federal government as an event planner. She says without the support of the Paul Menton Centre for Students with Disabilities at Carleton University she may never have graduated. es helped her get through university. “It leveled the playing field,” she said. Although after her first 100-question test on a Scantron sheet in her first-year psychology class, she decided to switch majors. “I found those tests really hard,” she said, describing Scantron as a nightmare. “So I switched to Sociology with a minor in philosophy.” Having a laptop meant that she didn’t have to worry about her writing ability when essay answers were recorded. “Most dyslexics are very creative,” Rhodenizer said. “With the right tools, they can soar.” Heritage uses the Simultaneous Multisensory Teaching (SMT) method. Mindware Academy uses the Orton-Gillingham method. Both are multi-sensory methods that use kinesthetic and phonics based rules. “The sad thing is, every student could learn to read with the SMT method,” Rhodenizer said. “But dyslexics can’t learn with the method used by the public school system.” Mike Lance, who teaches the SMT method at Heritage, said they use cursive writing instead of block printing. “Larger muscle memory is easier to remember than fine muscle memory,” Lance said.

Lance demonstrated the difference between using larger muscles (like the biceps) to learn to write and finer muscles like the fingertips. Lance said he works with each student for 45 minute blocks each day, adding he helps to build back the self esteem often shattered by years of not “getting it” in the public school system. ‘GETTING IT’

“It’s really great to see their faces when they finally get it,” Lance said. Jenna Rowney, who also teaches at Heritage, said she came to the school out of teachers college and was sold on experiential learning right away. It’s not uncommon for Rowney to teach her class in the schoolyard on a nice day. When she taught students about eco-zones several used Play-Doh. When kids aren’t in class they can work on their ju-jitsu in the gym. “It’s all about keeping them active so they can focus their energy,” Rhodenizer said. Pitman agrees with the need to move. “I don’t really remember doing homework in school, I just remember sports and my friends,” she said. “In class I kind of went through the motions.”

Liette Phillipe said sending her son to Mindware Academy was the best decision she could have made. After the first four years in the public school system he was reading at a Grade 1 level and couldn’t write. Thanks to the specialized teaching methods that help to deal with difference in learning, by the end of Grade 8, he had developed the coping methods he needed to start high school in the public school system. “I’m forever grateful to Mindware Academy - they saved my son,” Phillipe said. Pitman said if she had been identified earlier, she would have felt more at home in the classroom. “There were a lot of years where I felt I wasn’t as smart as everyone else,” she said. “It took me a while to learn that all I needed was a level playing field.” But for some, private school isn’t an option. Annual tuition at Heritage – which includes the SMT program – is $15,000. Mindware charges $14,250. Pitman and her sister were raised by a single father. Annual tuition would have likely been out of reach. Her father’s sports treatment for ADD helped to reduce and focus her energy, but Pitman said it wasn’t until her second year of university that she even considered medication. Even now when she’s at work, Pitman said she has to remind herself it’s OK to ask for the accommodations she needs. “I just tested for a promotion and I had to ask to do the testing alone,” she said. “And if I have a new boss I am always wondering when I should tell them.” Cheryl Ward, who started running Heritage Academy after her mother retired in 2006, said the school system can wear down a child’s confidence and parental resolve. “My brother was diagnosed in Grade 3 and they told my mother the best she could hope for was that he would trade baseball cards for a living.” He is now pursuing a doctorate degree at the University of Ottawa. “My mother got frustrated and struck out on her own,” Ward said. “But that took a lot of courage.” Ward was diagnosed in Grade 4. She described the extra work she had to do just to complete the same tasks as her peers. “I had to read everything several times to understand it properly,” she said. In Ottawa, the Learning Disabilities Association of Ottawa-Carleton offers supports for parents of children with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. For more information, visit www.ldaottawa.com. There is also the Dyslexia Centre, www.dyslexiacentre.ca, in Aylmer, Que that helps to raise awareness and provide support for testing. But parents have to be prepared to become advocates, Ward said. “One of the biggest lessons is you have to fight for what you want,” Ward said.

Action Sandy Hill’s fall barbecue bigger, better Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Action Sandy Hill is pulling out all the stops for its annual fall barbecue this year in an effort to connect with new and returning students. The event is planned for Sept. 21 and will offer residents an opportunity to meet their neighbours as well as a number of community groups in the area. The event coincides with the last Sandy Hill Farmers Market (which is rain or shine) and a yard

sale (weather permitting.) “It is going to be a busy day,” said organizer Alice Kwong. The fall barbecue is just one of the methods the association uses to reach out to students in the neighbourhood. Last year, the community association realized a huge success at the annual barbecue, serving up a record breaking 1,179 hamburgers and hot dogs at the event. Association board member Claire MacDonald credited the success of the barbecue to a doorknocking campaign the week before the event. The barbecue opened the

lines of communication between community partners, including the association itself, police, by-law officers, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury’s office, staff from the University of Ottawa and the students, sharing information about safe behaviours, being a good neighbour and the dangers of alcohol consumption. It was because of this success that the association created a barbecue committee that has been meeting throughout the year to plan this event which will offer members hamburgers, hotdogs, a vegetarian option, a

halal option and drinks. Added this year will be a slew of children activities including face painting, a visit from the neighbourhood fire prevention staff and fire truck and a cookie decorating station. There will be a Latin band and salsa dancers as well as tables for neighbourhood businesses to show off their wares or services. Volunteers are still needed to help with organization for the event, including putting up posters to advertise around the neighbourhood, serve

food and drinks, as well as helping with set-up and take-down. High school students can use this opportunity to fill their volunteer hours. Musicians are invited to perform, and can make arrangements by contacting info@ash-acs.ca. The yard sale begins at 9 a.m. and goes until 1 p.m. The farmers market is located at the Sandy Hill Community Centre and starts at 9:30 a.m. The barbecue starts at 3 p.m. More information about the barbecue, the market or the yard sale is available online at ash-acs.ca.

t was always called the Twenty-Acre Field. Yet Father said it was far more than 20 acres. He said if you counted the bush at the north end, you could add another couple acres to it, but we always called it the twenty-acre ďŹ eld. It separated our farm from our neighbours, the Thoms. Although they were no relation, we always called them Uncle Alec and Aunt Bertha. Children back in those days never called an adult by their ďŹ rst name, so the parents of our best friends in Northcote were always called Aunt and Uncle. The 20 acres was always a hay ďŹ eld. Father said the soil was best for hay and other crops were planted on the ďŹ elds beyond the West Hill, where there was rich black loam, ideal for wheat, barley and oats. For reasons unknown, all of the farms in that part of Northcote were laid out in long narrow strips, and on our side there were no exceptions. Father always said you could spit across our ďŹ elds, they were so narrow, but our farm ran from the Northcote Side Road, straight south and across the Bonnechere River. This long, narrow piece of farmland that had seen three generations of Father’s family live and die there. But the Twenty-Acre Field was more than just a ďŹ eld. When the hay had been taken off, you could see the path where dozens of times we had walked, rode horseback or taken the buggy in the summer and the cutter in the winter, over to the Thoms homestead. When the hay had yet to be harvested, we walked close to the fence that was in constant need of repair, but both Uncle Alec and Father could see no reason to ďŹ x it. “We don’t need a fence to tell us where our land lies,â€? Uncle Alec would say whenever the subject came up to prop up the bent-over posts and maybe replace the wiring. So, most of the time the fence was either lying at on the ground or so bent over you could step across the wiring without touching a shoe to it.

MARY COOK Memories If I was on my way to my friend’s farm, across the Twenty-Acre Field in the summertime, I walked close to the falling fence. I was sure if I walked through the hay I would get lost and never see my mother again, because the crop by mid-summer was far over my head. Being the meek child that I was, when I started out across the Twenty-Acre Field to visit Velma, I would ask Mother to stand by the grape arbour, so that I could turn every 10 feet or so, wave to her, and make sure if any danger befell me, I could run for home. Only when I went through the gate – also badly in need of repair and never, ever closed, but always hanging open on one hinge – and I left the Twenty-Acre Field behind me, only then would I breathe a sigh of relief that I had once again made it safely. Coming home presented a problem though. My little friend Velma knew I was frightened of my own shadow, so she would walk with me halfway through the ďŹ eld and stand there as I ran as fast as my legs could carry me home. As soon as I would reach the grape arbour, I would turn and wave to Velma and she would return to her own home. I marvelled at how brave was my little friend Velma. In the winter, when the hay had long since been taken off and only stubble remained, I would wait for the snow to come and cover the ďŹ eld with a white blanket. The ďŹ eld looked bigger then I thought. As soon as there was enough snow to make the ďŹ eld passable, Father would take the team of horses, hitch them to the big at-bottomed sleigh and make many trips back and forth across the ďŹ eld to make a path.

Winter the best time of all Continued from page 30

It would be as straight as a die, leading from our yard at the side of our house and right over to the opening in the fence where the gate hung by a hinge. My very favourite time for crossing the Twenty-Acre Field was in the dead of winter. When the air was crystal clear and bitterly cold, and the full moon overhead hung like a huge lantern. Going across the ďŹ eld to the Thoms was a special treat at any time, but in the winter, on a cold night, was my very favourite. It would take about 20 minutes to cross the ďŹ eld, all of us bundled up like mummies on the at-bottomed sleigh. And from under the blankets covering us,

keeping out the cold, the Twenty-Acre Field looked like an immense white bedspread. After a fresh snow, the ďŹ eld sparkled like millions of diamonds and I felt the utmost joy and peace. I thought how blessed we were to own that special tract of land. It was supposed to separate the two farms, but in fact it tied us together. Today, decades later, the Twenty-Acre Field is still there. There still isn’t much of a fence and its ground is rutted from hundreds of sleighs, wagons and horses using it as a way of getting from one farm to another. And through a child’s eyes, so many years ago, the Twenty-Acre Field was a symbol of the times linking neighbours, creating a bond, like a good and warm handshake.

Safer Main library branch on the books City to spend $945,000 to make library safer

commodate all of its 61 computers in one place, said Ottawa Public Library CEO Danielle McDonald. In the children’s area, shelves will be lowered and false walls will be removed to improve sightlines. That’s in response to an incident last year when a man exposed himself to a young girl in the children’s section at the Main branch, library board chairwoman Coun. Jan Harder said. Staff areas that were a “free for all” for people to wander in will be blocked off with secured access for staff only.

News - Almost a million dollars in safety upgrades to the Main public library branch will be done after police observed people accessing pornography and masturbating at the branch. On Sept. 9 the library board approved a plan to spend $945,000 for minor renovations aimed at making the Main branch a safer and more comfortable environment for patrons and staff. “Deviant behaviour was going on at the library and nothing was being done about it,” said Insp. Chris Rheaume, one of the Ottawa police officers who conducted a safety audit of the branch this summer at the library board’s request. The calls for police to attend the branch were “going through the roof,” he said. There are too many dark and outof-sight nooks and crannies in the aging Main branch, said another officer, Const. Ryan Pierce. “(There are) lots of hidden places where people can hide and conduct acts of criminality through the library,” he said. “There are areas in there (where) people can be engaging in other acts, assaults, sexual assaults, and where people are using the computers for illegal activities.” Library board trustee Coun. Tim Tierney encouraged all board members to head to the Main branch when it opens and experience it for them-

Almost $1 million worth of upgrades are needed to make the downtown Main public library branch safe and reduce the risk of criminal activity. selves, as he did. Trustee Amelita Armit agreed the branch can be an uncomfortable place on the weekends, especially. After heading to Main one weekend morning, Armit said

she promptly turned around and left. “I just got out of there because I thought, ‘Where am I?’” One of the main suggestions is to consolidate all the publically acces-

sible computers in one location on the library’s third floor. The library chose the third floor because it is the easiest, quickest and cheapest place the branch can ac-

The upgrades are expected to take about six months to complete. Planning and design are already underway for the security upgrades, but the bulk of the expense will come back to the library board to approve as part of its 2014 budget. The safety upgrades are in addition to $6.25 million in renovations and upgrades to the Main branch that the library board agreed last year will need to be done over the next decade. Several library board members asked about ways the type of police audit that was conducted at the Main branch could be done at more branches or all 33 library locations. Harder said it wouldn’t be reasonable to ask the police service to expend so much of its resources for the library. “This is a special situation,” Harder said. “It would really be a waste of their resources.” The library is investing in training all library staff on what they need to do when issues of safety or criminal behaviour occur at library branches. The library is also increasing its requirements for internal incident reporting.

Harder seeks national library group presidency Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder wants to be the national voice for public libraries. The chairwoman of the city’s library board has thrown her hat into the ring as one of three candidates vying for the role of president of the Canadian Library Association. After being head-hunted and asked to pursue the role, Harder agreed. “I’m here in the nation’s capital. It’s a critical time for understanding the library of the future,� she said. “Getting the federal ear on these issues will be important.� In her candidate statement, Harder wrote that the association must have a louder voice at decision-making tables. Lobbying for federal infrastructure funding for libraries, increasing services for First Nations communities and fighting to keep community library-based services for newcomers are priorities, she wrote. The association also needs to take

a leadership role in working with the publishing industry to lift restrictions on access to e-books – something Ottawa’s public library is undertaking on its own. “Libraries must continue to change by evolving to stay

relevant for their customers,� Harder wrote. “And we need to be better at communicating the value of libraries to stakeholders and decision-makers.� Harder already serves as the president of the Canadian Library Trustee Association. She has sat on Ottawa’s library

board since 2004 and served as chairwoman since 2006. In addition to her executive-council membership with the Canadian Library Association, Harder also belongs to the Federation of Ontario Public Libraries and the Urban Libraries Council. Harder already has a busy schedule. She heads up the library board and built-heritage subcommittee, the Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation and the court of revision at city hall while also sitting on the planning committee as vice-chairwoman and on the Ottawa Police Services board as a member. She is the chairwoman of Energy Ottawa and a director for Hydro Ottawa and the Bruyere Continuing Care board. Voting for the Canadian Library Association executive begins Sept. 12 and will continue for about a month, Harder said. She is up against Kathleen De Long of the University of Alberta libraries and Sandra Singh, the chief librarian of the Vancouver Public Library.

Mayor backs off from Sens war of words Melnyk blasts mayor on Toronto radio Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Mayor Jim Watson refused to escalate a heated exchange of words with Eugene Melnyk after the Senators owner vented his casino frustrations on a Toronto radio show last week. Melnyk took to the airwaves on FAN580 to complain about city council’s decision to take his site at the Canadian Tire Centre out of the running for a new casino in Ottawa. He blamed Watson for ensuring the Rideau Carleton Raceway was the only option for more gambling in Ottawa and said the mayor acts like he’s from another planet.

Watson brushed off the comments, repeating that the casino issue is not his priority and he expects the city will continue to have a working relationship with the NHL team. “Mr. Melnyk is entitled to his opinion. I don’t happen to share his point of view on what he talked about,” Watson said. “His priority is a casino and my priority is not a casino.” Watson pointed out a bus-only off-ramp to the Canadian Tire Centre – which cost the city and province $750,000 – will open later this year to make it easier for people to take transit to the arena. “I continue to remain very optimistic that we have a good working relationship and the proof’s in the pudding,” Watson said. The radio interview followed the resignation of Senators president

Cyril Leeder from the boards of four local groups, including the committee to plan Canada’s 150th birthday bash in Ottawa in 2017. “Cyril has been a great contributor to so many different causes,” Watson said. “But like anyone, including myself, everyone is replaceable. While we’ll miss his input and his sage advice, that’s his decision or Mr. Melnyk’s decision and we’ll live with that and we’ll move on. We’ve got a lot of talented people that will continue to get involved in all the activities that are important to growing our city.”

Senators owner Eugene Melnyk, right, blasted Ottawa mayor Jim Watson on Toronto sports radio because of the single casino decision made by Ottawa city council. FILE

Intensification fears aired in Overbrook Townhome development will have minimal yards Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Overbrook residents are skeptical of a plan for townhomes on North River Road that the developer says will be a more efficient use of land than the single home they may replace. Stan Levine of Sherbrooke Urban Developments hired prominent Ottawa architect Roderick Lahey to design the two semi-detached homes that will front onto North River Road and four three-storey townhomes that will front onto Drouin Avenue. Townhomes are allowed under the existing zoning, but Sherbrooke is asking for a minor rezoning to gain exceptions on a couple of things, including the building height and yard setbacks. The buildings would be about the same height as a similar development across the street that Sherbrook Design built previously. The homes would be about 2.7 metres taller than their two-storey neighbour to the east. Ross Jewell was among the residents at a meeting on Sept. 12 who pointed out how small the

$

back and side yards would be. The backyards of the homes are technically considered to be the side yard in the zoning, so the new homes wouldn’t have to be set back as far from neighbouring dwellings – only about 1.2 metres. The homes are intended for small families or couples looking for their first home who want to own a home close to the core, but not a large yard to maintain. “It’s targeted at people who don’t want to cut a lot of grass,” said Lloyd Phillips, the planning consultant for the project. “Small families don’t always want green space as their recreational space.” The front yards would seem larger because there is a large swath of city land around the corner of North River Road and Drouin Avenue. While most agreed that the design of the homes was pleasant, many were worried about trees in the area. The city recently cut down three of the six trees on its land adjacent to the property, to the chagrin of area residents who appreciated the tree canopy. In response to suggestions of tree-cutting collusion between city planners and the developer, Ride-

au-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark received information from the forestry department indicating that one of the trees was infected by emerald ash borer, one was a rotted maple tree and another was a white ash tree at risk of infection that many people – including the developer – misidentified as a maple. Lahey said he was disappointed to see the city removed the trees because he was very careful to incorporate them into the design of the site. Two of the existing large trees on the North River Road side will remain and the developer will replant trees on the Drouin side – likely Japanese tree lilacs – so they don’t grow into the hydro wires. Some residents bemoaned the development as yet another example of a developer choosing not to comply with the city’s zoning bylaw. “It just seems to be a very drastic change from a single family house to six units,” said Jean Laframbroise, calling it “a disturbing trend.” “I don’t disagree with you,” Lahey said, adding that change can be done in a sensitive way.

Other concerns expressed at the meeting included: the possibility of exacerbating issues of large puddles forming at the end of Drouin when it rains and privacy concerns related to windows on the back of the homes. Change didn’t bother the owner of the two properties on North River Road and Drouin that are closest to the proposed development. “To me, change is probably for the better,” said Patrick Morris, who has lived in his home on North River Road for 50 years and seen a lot of changes in that time, he said. Clark said he’s “not comfortable” with the development, but said that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be allowed. The pressure to build more homes in the core comes from provincial and city intensification policies, he said. Another neighbour across the street on Drouin, Felix Thomas, said people are always afraid of change, but a variety of housing types will attract diverse and younger residents to the neighbourhood. He said the development will be “a perfect little thing” for young families who don’t need large living spaces.

Reach for the stars Jake Hamilton, Greely Idol 2013 winner and Capital Kids Idol 2013 finalist, performs on the big stage at the 135th Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto in the Rising Star competition. In its 27th year, the CNE Rising Star talent competition has seen competitors from ages six to 21 vying for the title. After beating out 20,000 online applicants, 12-year-old Jake was chosen to perform his own rendition of Bruno Mars’ song Grenade on the variety stage at the Ex. Competing against a strong field of singers and dancers, Jake gained the respect of the judges, who commented on his outstanding vocals as well as his style, but unfortunately he didn’t move on to the finals.

Museum’s night party in your nature Friday evening ‘themed’ social events Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Exploring nature at a downtown museum is back on the Friday night calendar this fall. Nature Nocturne is a series of social events held at the Canadian Museum of Nature that offers adult patrons the opportunity to spend an evening out with music, drinks and food. The museum is set to launch its second season of the evening affair, continuing with plans to offer different themes, starting on Sept. 20. According to Cynthia Iburg, the adult programmer at the museum, the evenings have been very popular, with more than 7,500 people attending the parties last season. Iburg credits the popularity to the different themes. “Themes have ranged from the Arctic to Star Wars, with a huge, positive response from the Ottawa community,” Iburg said. The evening programming combines mixing, mingling and gallery visits. New exhibitions, dancing, music, food and drinks and the occasional craft or art expressionist workshop took place last winter, targeted at adults aged 35 years old and under. “Our 35-and-under target audience has really embraced the

concept of socializing, dancing and museum discovery all in one place,” Iburg added. “Where else in Ottawa can you party with a dinosaur or a blue whale?” Live bands are planned for this season and returning entertainer DJ TDot will be on hand for a few of the evenings to keep the beats going. Visitors who attend are welcome to wander through the galleries until midnight. Iburg said aside from the many party-goers taking the opportunity to have their photo taken next to a dinosaur or big mammals, the craft sessions have proven to be crowd pleasers. “Adults like the opportunity to play,” she said. “We’ve set up craft areas where, depending upon the theme of the night, you could make a colourful bug, inuksuk, or a Star Wars foam figure. We’ll be continuing the hands-on activities in this upcoming series.” The 2013-14 series begins on Sept. 20. The other evenings are Oct. 25, Nov. 22, Jan. 24, Feb. 28, March 28, April 25 and May 23. The party starts at 8 p.m. and runs until midnight. Tickets are $20 each and the museum recommends that people purchase tickets in advance at nature.ca/nocturne.

River Ward Speed Boards – Continued Commitment to Traffic Safety Community safety, including traffic safety, continues to be a top priority of mine. In response to community concerns about speeding, six new speed boards are available for exclusive deployment throughout our Ward. While the Ottawa Police Service and I know about some of the speeding “hot spots”, if you would like City Traffic engineering staff to assess your street for the use of a speed board, please give my office a call. I have arranged for the deployment of the boards year round.

Significant Increase in Residential Recycling and Waste Diversion Great news on the recycling front – during the second quarter of 2013 compared with the same time period in 2012, our community has increased recycling by 14%, including a 16.5% increase in green bin collection, and overall, we are sending less material to the Trail Road landfill. This extends the life the landfill, which will cost at least $250 million to replace. Compared to last year’s report, there was a 1% increase in total waste collected (90,380 to 91,360 tonnes), and a 10% decrease in total waste taken to the landfill (52,150 tonnes down to 47,110 tonnes). Total recycling (blue and black box and green bin material) increased by 14%, from 38,230 tonnes to 44,250 tonnes.

Household Hazardous Waste Depots – Keeping Our Environment Safe It is important for us to dispose of our household hazardous waste such as pool chemicals, used motor oil, old paint, used batteries, etc. in the safest and most environmentally friendly way. To keep our waste collection operators and our environment safe, the City operates several, one-day Household Hazardous Waste Depots at various sites throughout Ottawa. The next depot is taking place on Sunday, September 22, 2013 at 100 Constellation Crescent from 8AM to 4PM. Residential electronic waste or e-waste is also accepted at this site. If you cannot attend a depot, you can easily recycle some materials every day. You can return items such as paint, oil, compact fluorescent bulbs and rechargeable batteries to a participating local retailer any day of the week during regular operating hours. For a complete list of household hazardous waste, please visit ottawa.ca.

Your Strong Voice at City Hall As always, I appreciate hearing from you and encourage you to keep in touch with me as it allows me to serve you better. It is an honour and a privilege being your strong voice at City Hall. R0102212460/0919

Luncheon opens conversation for parents of teens Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Royal Mental Health Centre is hosting a conversation about mental health with local parents. For the second year in a row, health care professionals are meeting with the public at the Centurion Conference Centre in Nepean to take about adolescent depression – both the causes and the treatments. The event is being hosted in partnership with Do it For Daron and will take place on Sept. 26. Organizer and vice-president at the Royal Nicole Loreto said they expect about 500 attendees. This year the conversation will be about resilience. Entitled Resilient and Ready, the workshop aims to talk to parents about instilling coping skills in their children.

Dr. Raj Bhatla, the psychiatrist-in-chief at the Royal, will be on hand to talk about the myths related to suicide and what he sees in the emergency room.

“We are doing really well at diagnosis and assessment but the wait lists to get help are too long.” NICOLE LORETO, SOCIAL WORKER

Loreto, a social worker, will talk about how best to teach resiliency and related skills. Dr. Mario Capelli, CHEO’s director of mental health research, will address the role the media and parents can play in relation to the

coverage of suicide and the implications it has on emergency care and services. Mary Lou McFarlane, a nurse and mental health counsellor will talk about building up the strengths of our children. “Mary Lou runs a therapeutic farm,” Loreto said. “She works with kids from all kinds of backgrounds and focuses on their strengths, not their setbacks.” Loreto said the Royal has programs aimed at dealing with teen depression in 18 Ottawa schools – along with a day program at Brookfield High School. “Kids are coming forward a lot more now,” Loreto said. “But it’s not on the first instance of depression or anxiety. We need to do better.” Loreto said because of the publicity surrounding the suicide deaths of Jamie Hubley and Daron Richardson, there is a lot more

awareness of the issues surrounding teen depression and suicide, but more funding is needed. DIAGNOSIS

“We are doing really well at diagnosis and assessment but the wait lists to get help are too long,” Loreto said. While extra funding would help with wait times, Loreto said prevention may be the key. The luncheon will answer questions parents have and point them to community resources. There will be an hour’s worth of talking and 45 minutes available for questions, Loreto said, adding the audience is expected to range from parents of toddlers, parents of teens and teachers to other healthcare professionals.

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, September 19, 2013

Make sure to start things off right by exercising your dog! Dogs need the socialization and mental stimulation of lengthy daily walks for their emotional and physical health. Use this time as training time as well, dogs need to learn to respond to commands in different settings. The Ottawa Humane Society is running two fall basic dog obedience sessions starting on Monday, Sept. 23, and Thursday, Oct. 3. There are three levels of classes: puppies (4-11 months), adolescents (1-2 years) and adults (2 years and up). These classes are a great way to socialize your dog and teach them basic commands, etiquette, and most importantly, have fun. For more information on dog training and dog obedience classes email programs@ottawahumane.ca.

Bronx

Bronx is a 4 year old Sled Dog rescue (Ottawa SPCA) that made it all the way down to Ottawa from Nunavut. He is an athlete at heart and loves to live the active life joining his family on daily bike rides, jogs and long walks. When he’s home, Bronx loves to find a cozy cool place to sleep and only ever “comes to life” when it’s meal time or a visitor rings the door bell. He is very social and will greet everything and anything with an enthusiastic tail wag, gives gentle kisses when asked, and is the pride and joy of his owners. 9d ndj i]^c` ndjg eZi ^h XjiZ Zcdj\] id WZ ÆI=: E:I D; I=: L::@Ç4 HjWb^i V e^XijgZ VcY h]dgi W^d\gVe]n d[ ndjg eZi id ÒcY dji H^bean ZbV^a id/ X[dhiZg5i]ZcZlhZbX#XV ViiZci^dc ÆEZi d[ i]Z LZZ`Ç

behaviours. Give your new dog a routine to adhere to, consistency and rewarding desired behaviour from your dog will make training a breeze. By taking an active role in teaching your dog, you will be able to train the dog the way you want. Knowing your dog Similar to children, dogs understand different things at different stages of their development. Remember that as pups mature, their independence grows. Puppies are socially dependent on us, so during the first few months, they will often listen better and stay close to home. It is when they mature, especially through adolescence, that their world becomes much larger. So keep them close to you and under control at all times, and continue your training program on a regular basis.

0919_R0012309495

Owning a dog can be a very rewarding experience. How you train your dog has a big impact on whether your relationship will be one of companionship or frustration. Adopting a training program from the beginning is a fun way to get to know your dog and sets the stage for a successful relationship. What is training? Training is a form of communication between a dog and his owner. Since dogs cannot speak, it is up to the owner to learn how to communicate with the dog. All owners can benefit from training classes, even if they have previously owned a dog or trained many in the past; remember that every dog is different. What is your role in training? If you don’t train your dog, he won’t learn appropriate

Metcalfe grannies help turn the tide News – Kanata’s Grassroot Grannies were treated to an evening of relaxation, celebration and education on Sept. 5 as they arrived in Metcalfe after the second day of their Ride to Turn the Tide. The fourth annual cycling event included 22 riders and four support crew, who cycled 270 kilometres over three days in support of grandmothers raising children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. On the cyclists’ second day, they travelled from Perth to Metcalfe where Metcalfe’s Grannies All About Kids group hosted the group for dinner, entertainment and relaxation before offering them a place to sleep in the cozy country home of president Bev McKibbon. Massage therapist Jaclyn Spencer donated her time to help the cyclists unwind, and Dr. John Kim delivered a presentation about HIV/AIDS. The Edwards United Church choir offered a musical interlude, and sparklers helped end the festivities on a bright note.

The trek took the group from Kanata to Perth, via Ashton, Appleton and Almonte, through Merrickville and Metcalfe, and then back to Kanata. There was talk about switching up the route this year, but event founder Nancy Hough said everyone enjoys visiting with their grannie group counterparts throughout the Ottawa Valley. The Kanata group is hosted by the Mississippi Grannies in Almonte, the Lanark County Grannies in Perth, the United Church Women in Merrickville, and Grannies All About Kids in Metcalfe. Hough said the ride is a chance to renew friendships with the various other grandparent organizations throughout Ottawa and the Valley. This year’s event raised about $44,000, bringing the four-year total to more than $146,000. All proceeds will go to the Stephen Lewis Foundation as part of the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, which supports grandmothers in Africa.

Thank you! Together, we’re strong in the fight against cancer.
