Causeway Work Centre presents alternative to payday lending BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

Community leaders and politicians are hoping a new pilot project will put payday loan shops out of business. On Nov. 4, Causeway Work Centre, a not-forprofit agency that supports people to find work and live more independently, announced a partnership with local credit unions to provide small short-term loans at fair rates to help break the cycle

of payday lending. Don Palmer, Causeway’s executive director, explained the organization has raised $100,000 for the loans, which will available to Causeway clients during the one-year pilot project. Palmer explained that clients will be screened by Causeway and will have to undergo some financial literacy training before being approved for the loans, which clients will receive from the credit unions. Causeway has

partnered with Alterna Savings, Your Credit Union and Frontline Credit Union, which made financial and operational contributions to the fund. “This program has been the twinkle in our eye for six years,” Palmer said during the announcement of the Causeway Community Finance Fund. Already working with clients with financial issues, Palmer said few clients had access to savings or credit and even fewer understood how credit worked. “We heard some disheartening stories not just from our own clients but the community in general,” Palmer said. Just the day before, Palmer said he was speaking to a client about his struggle with payday loans. On Ontario Disability Support Payments, he didn’t have the money to spay his cat, so he took out a $200 loan.

A local basketball academy takes flight for the first time this month as it hosts its first tournament. “It’s like our coming out party,” said Tony House, Canada Topflight Academy founder. The academy, located at Notre Dame High School, has invited a number of schools to play Nov. 11 through 13. The first game on Nov. 11 at 2 p.m. is for high school students, who will hopefully fill the gym, House said. “Things are going well for the academy’s first year,” he said during a practice. The tournament will give those wondering about the academy – which is a pilot project with the Catholic school board – a front row seat to see what it’s all about. With a goal of developing teenage basketball players for the next level of play, especially those living in Ottawa, the academy is nearing tipoff. “I’m excited about where we are at and where we are going,” House said about the current crop of players. The team plays in the National Preparatory Association, an 11-team

league. Of the 12 players on the team, eight are from the Ottawa area and four come from outside the city. Manel Ayol, 18, from Melbourne, Australia, came to Ottawa to be part of the academy’s inaugural season. He transferred from Montebello high school in Denver, Colo. after spending one year there. At 6-foot-7, Ayol said he came to the academy in the hope that he could improve his shot after averaging about 16 points and eight rebounds for his previous team. It’s been a big transition for Ayol, who along with coming to a new country is learning that some of the terms used here are different. “It’s something else to learn,” he said, adding coming to the United States and Canada gives him an edge. “You have to be in the right place; basketball is not the No. 1 sport in Australia.” With dreams of playing college ball, Ayol is adjusting to the rigorous academy schedule that includes practice six days a week, study hall and weight training. “It’s been a good experience so far.” See ACADEMY, page 3

Academy includes eight local players Continued from page 2

Aiden Warnholtz, from Kanata, is 16 and plays point guard. He’s been playing basketball since he was four and the new league gets him ready for university or college level sports teams without moving away from home. “It’s been good, hard work and a lot of fun too,” Warnholtz said. As a Grade 11 student, he’s hoping the pilot project continues, so that he can have another year, or maybe two with the academy. The program is a natural progression for the talented athletes already coming from the region, coach Aaron Blakely said. “Now athletes can stay in their own houses and it’s a unique opportunity to play this level in front of a home crowd,” Blakely said.

Part of what Blakely is working on with the players is keeping their heads in the game, on top of getting players to shoot, defend and rebound. “The biggest thing is players are being asked to really improve their basketball IQ; be thoughtful and consistent and win the mental battle.” Blakely said the academy’s coaching staff knows what university coaches like and what wins and loses at the next level. They are also working to increase players’ confidence on the court. Success this year will help the program to expand. House is to extend a similar program to women’s basketball players next year. Even in the past year, he said, sports academies have increased across the province, going from less than 10 last year to 22. “This model works,” House said.

Motorcyclist dies after Baseline crash BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

A motorcyclist involved in a serious collision at Baseline Road and Clyde Avenue has died of his injuries. The crash happened on Oct. 30, just after 7 p.m. An offduty paramedic on her way to work first assisted the motorcyclist until an ambulance arrived. According to paramedics, they treated the motorcycle driver for severe life-threatening multi-system trauma and he had significant head, chest, abdomen and extremity injuries. Police Const. Chuck Benoit said an investigation is ongoing and police are appealing to witnesses to the accident to contact police. The driver of the other vehicle involved in the incident was also taken to hospital, but

no update on that patient has been provided. Baseline Road was closed for more than five hours while police investigated the accident and no names have been released. The call was the second paramedics received in response to crashes involving motorcycles within 90 minutes on Oct. 30. George “Rick” Ellas, of Ottawa, died following a crash involving his motorcycle and a red Hyundai Accent, driven by a 47-year-old man at the intersection of Eagleson and Fernbank roads in Kanata. Ellas was in cardiac arrest when paramedics arrived. Anyone with information about the collision is asked to contact police at 613-2361222, ext. 2481.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? 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.

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 sounds are no longer naturally

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. amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened. This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution for most people.

Hearing sensation! Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a trial to see whether they notice an improvement.

Changes will strengthen city’s ability to regulate lenders Continued from page 1

When he couldn’t pay it, he got another loan. Since then, that loan has more than doubled, Palmer said. “As he says there was no alternative,” Palmer said. In Ontario there are more than 800 payday lending out-

lets, providing $1.5 billion in loans to about 400,000 customers. The average loan in Ontario is about $435. Payday lenders offer loans of up to $1,500. The cost of $100 loan, which is regulated by the provincial government, is $21. The cost to the borrower for a 10-day $300 loan is

$63, which is an annual interest rate of 550 per cent. The pilot program will be flexible, so that those who miss one or two payments won’t just default on their loans. Loans will be paid back at a rate of prime plus two to six per cent. “It’s not free money by any means,” Palmer said.

If there is a default at any point, it comes back to Causeway. According to Palmer, there are a couple of similar programs being offered across Canada. “I feel that other people will jump on this bandwagon, if we can prove it actually works.” That’s what Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi is hoping happens as news of the project spreads. “This endeavour is incredible. It’s something that we need to do, and I’m really hopeful,” Naqvi said. “Our banks and our credit unions have a very important responsibility, they have the expertise, the knowledge and the resources to put payday loan businesses out of business.” Just the day before, the provincial government proposed changes to the Payday Loans Act. It would allow municipalities to limit the number of lending institutions and use zoning rules to regulate their location through licensing. “It makes it more difficult to prey on the vulnerable and lets municipalities use their rules around where they are located,” Naqvi said.

Robbery squad links Hintonburg, Herongate, Heatherington swarmings Police clamp down on swarming spree in Herongate, arrest four teens BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Patrol, K9 and tactical police officers descended on Herongate last week in the immediate aftermath of three back-toback swarmings, producing a slew of arrests. Four teenagers – the youngest of them 13 years old – are now facing charges after police say they targeted three victims as they walked alone in Sandalwood Park, near Chartley Private and Colliston Crescent, and along the pathway between Colliston and Cedarwood Drive on Nov. 3 just after 8 p.m. “It was a matter of saturating the area and locating them,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the robbery unit. The rapid deployment was thanks to prompt reporting by victims, the availability of the officers and because the swarmings showed signs of continuing – if not that same night then in the days to follow. “By that point we’d had several that had taken place back-to-back, so it wasn’t likely to end,” Haarbosch said. Three Ottawa teens,

aged 13, 15, and 17, and an 18-year-old Ottawa man are each facing three counts of robbery, three counts of wearing a disguise and one count of conspiracy, and were scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 4. Haarbosch said it’s unusual, in the case of the 13-year-old, to see someone so young arrested. “We don’t see it very often, but we do see it from time to time – someone this young committing an offence that’s this serious,” Haarbosch said of the 13 year old suspect. HINTONBURG

As well, over the course of the investigation, that same 13-yearold suspect was also charged with robbery, wearing a disguise and possession of a weapon related to a swarming in Hintonburg near Spadina and Bayswater avenues on Oct. 21. In that case, three suspects were said to have robbed a lone male victim at 9 p.m. as he walked along an alleyway. One male suspect pointed what appeared to be a handgun at the victim, who was robbed of his wallet, phone and some groceries, Haarbosch said in an earlier statement. A swarming the next night in Hintonburg may also be connected to this

recent rash of robberies. In that incident, a female was targeted by four suspects as she walked near Bayswater and Gladstone avenues on Oct. 22 around 11 p.m. One of the suspects had a knife and the victim’s cellphone and some cash were taken, said Haarbosch.

‘It’s unfortunately something that we’re seeing more and more of these days, both handguns and knives.’ SGT. MICHAEL HAARBOSCH

“At this point, we’re certainly exploring the possibility that second one (in Hintonburg) is also linked,” he said. It’s becoming more common that weapons are being used in swarming-type robberies. “It’s unfortunately something that we’re seeing more and more of these days, both handguns and knives,” said Haarbosch. “It’s an intimidation thing – pure and simple.” In the aftermath of those October crimes, the robbery unit urged people walking alone in

the evening in that area to be extra vigilant. That message still stands, not only for residents in those areas recently plagued by swarmings, but elsewhere in the city given the ongoing nature of the investigation, said Haarbosch. In fact, additional charges related to other swarmings may be laid against one or more of the four suspects who were taken into police custody in Herongate, he noted. HEATHERINGTON

Police are linking two swarmings in Heatherington in which lone victims were targeted on Nov. 2 – the night before the Herongate spree. In the first case, a victim was approached by two black males along Heatherington Road around 9:20 p.m. and the second victim was waiting at a bus stop along that same street when two black males approached around 9:35 p.m. An undisclosed item was taken from one of the victims, said Haarbosch. There have been 151 swarmings in Ottawa so far this year, on par with the number of swarmings by this time in 2015. Anyone with information about these cases is asked to call the robbery squad at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Board of health tables draft budget BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

There were few surprises and little discussion about the board of health’s $59.7 million draft budget on Nov. 3. The budget is in line with the 2017 guidelines for the city’s 2017 budget. The total represents a 1.5 per cent, or $375,000, increase. It’s enough to keep up with the existing workload of the public health agency, said Esther Moghadam, deputy director and chief nursing officer. The lion’s share of Ottawa Public Health funding comes from funding for programs where the cost is shared with the province. $47.2 million helps to fund things such as: • infectious diseases, • environmental health, • emergency preparedness, • chronic disease and injuries, • family health, and • public health foundations. The city gets another $11 million for provincially-funded programs such as

healthy babies and smoke-free Ontario initiatives. Moghadam said while staff didn’t have the numbers from the province yet, they’re assuming a $765,000 increased on cost shared programs and no increase on programs wholly funded by the province. Programs where the city covers the entire bill include things such as mental health strategies, needle abatement and school-based outreach. The city funded programs run $1.2 million annually. The priorities for the next year will be maintaining core services and addressing emerging health issues such as: mental health, indigenous health, persistent infection control challenges and overdose prevention. City council will review the board of health draft budget on Nov. 9, along with those of other city departments. The public comment period begins on Nov. 3 and will run until Dec. 5, when the public will be able to appear as delegations at the following meeting. The budget will be up for final approval on Dec. 14.

Homework a detriment?

he last thing I want to do when I get home from work is do more work. Sadly, that’s precisely the mentality for elementary school children, who seem to be saddled with hours of homework every night. There are some hilarious Internet memes about science projects and speeches, with parents saying things like, “I got an A!” Is it any wonder the parents take credit for the projects when we’re often the ones spending countless evening hours hovering over our children, ruler in hand, teaching them how to source properly on the Internet. In Spain, the CEAPA, which represents 12,000 parent and teacher organizations, has designated November as “the month without duties.” In other words, Spaniards are in outright protest against homework, which they see as detrimental to family life and wellness. More than 80 per cent of parents in Spain believe their kids are receiving too much homework. GET ENGAGED

The CEAPA would rather see after school hours spent with families engaging in activities like “visiting museums”, “playing board games” or “mapping out a route on public transportation together”. Perhaps it’s wishful thinking to presume parents and families would replace homework time with collective bonding activities such as those suggested by the CEAPA. If statistics are anything to go by, it may just give us more collective time to consume Netflix. According to the Canadian Internet Registration Authority, 40 per cent of Canadians stream five hours or more per

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse line has a detrimental impact on social relationships and family cohesiveness. Specifically, excessive screen time draws our attention away from real people, can make bullying and harassment more pronounced and makes it easier for kids to connect with their peers instead of parents, notes the report, entitled Unplug and Connect. “Using technology more and more may cause us to connect less and less with each other,” notes the CHEO report. “Mental health professionals are becoming concerned, because they are seeing more and more youth with emotional and behavioural problems.” This, they argue, makes “strong bonds between parents, children and youth are more important than ever.” So perhaps it’s time to take the lead from the Spaniards – down with homework! Instead of working on that pesky autobiography on Google Slideshare (you know, the one the kids seem to do every year), why not “talk about gender violence”, “prepare a new recipe”, or “spend a day together in the field”, as the CEAPA suggests. Surely, all of these will have a greater positive impact on the cohesiveness of the family unit than the daily battle over multiplication tables.

week of TV, movies and videos on the Internet, far more than our counterparts in the United States. Moreover, much of today’s homework, even for the youngest children in elementary school, is moving online. Homework, which has always disproportionately benefited the middle class, may trigger a further divide by being moved online. Kids in lower-income homes are much less likely to have a parent present, with a good Internet connection and a device to conduct daily activities, putting them at a distinct disadvantage. “In shifting learning from the classroom to the home, we risk shifting benefits to middle and upper-middle class families,” explained Peter Chaban, a teacher and researcher at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto to the hospital’s online publication. “With a parent close by, a computer and Internet access and a quiet, organized space for homework, kids in uppermiddle class families have a real advantage.” Beyond the disproportionate benefit to middle and upper class kids, however, homework today necessarily sees children spending evermore time on screens. A study conducted by the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) warns that extended time on-

OPINION

Connected to your community

Trust is a two-way street in politics

he Progressive Conservatives in a riding that has yet to see a provincial election are shooting themselves in the foot with a shady nomination

process. The new riding of Carleton will be in play in the 2018 provincial election as the current riding of Nepean-Carleton is split in two due to population growth. It includes much of rural south Ottawa and Stittsville. The folks who were elected to the PC riding association in Carleton have been accused by fellow conservatives of stacking the deck to ensure which candidate ends up on the provincial ballot. There are whispers that the party’s leader, Patrick Brown, is pulling strings to get a preferred candidate selected. When friends of a particular candidate control a riding executive, they can set nomination rules, change the rules, change key dates for paperwork and meetings, and arbitrarily disqualify other candidates.

Welcome to Carleton. It’s a fool’s game. Leadership must trust party members to pick a good candidate. Only then will the grassroots trust the leadership. A cup of bitterness and a pinch of meanness make for a perfect recipe if you want to turn off potential PC voters. Liberals are waiting for the mess to settle, and will then be in good shape to choose a candidate who immediately appears above the fray. If the PC machinations turn off enough voters, and the Liberals name a squeaky clean candidate, the new Carleton riding will be in play. At the riding executive level, the members who are pulling the strings are blinded by ambition and short-sighted goals. They think getting the “right” person on the ballot is the ultimate outcome, when getting an electable person on the ballot should be the focus. Time will tell. The provincial election is scheduled for June 7, 2018.

Self-driving us all to frustrating distraction

nce again the self-driving car is in the news. Various advocates have been touring, various manufacturers have been talking about manufacturing it and, all in all, it appears as if the day is drawing closer. A dream has been presented to us. In the dream, traffic congestion and air pollution have disappeared because people have given up owning gas guzzling SUVs and opted for adorable little electric vehicles they can summon to take them where they want. Parking lots are no longer necessary so cities can have more parks and housing. Automobile accidents are a thing of the past because the smart little electric vehicles know how to avoid them. What a wonderful world.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Why do I keep thinking of the Rhinoceros Party and its proposal, back in the 1980s, that Canada switch to driving on the left-hand side of the road and that the change be phased in — first, with trucks and buses. Things could go wrong, in other words. The question, really, is not how smart the driverless cars are, but how smart we are. Because if we are not smart, we could be in for trouble. That always happens when we let our consumer self overwhelm our citizen self.

Think of the Internet. We fall in love with its convenience and capacity to entertain and forget about other aspects. Daily newspapers are dying. Think of the Internet as the driverless newspaper. The music and publishing industries are in decline. Lots of folks are out of work. That probably could have been avoided if we were smarter as the Internet was developing. Will there be smart thinking in advance of the smart car? There better be. If fewer drivers are needed for those trucks and buses and delivery vehicles what, exactly, happens to those people? It’s nice to think of fewer cars on the road, but not if you work beside it, running a gas station or a restaurant. And what happens to the people who formerly worked making DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES Traci Cameron - 613-221-6223 ADMINISTRATION: Donna Therien - 613-221-6233 HOME BUILDERS ACCOUNTS SPECIALIST Geoff Hamilton - 613-221-6215 DISPLAY ADVERTISING: Gisele Godin - Kanata - 613-221-6214 Connie Pfitzer - Ottawa West - 613-221-6209 Cindy Gilbert - Ottawa South - 613-221-6211 Carly McGhie - Ottawa East - 613-221-6154 Jill Martin - Nepean - 613-221-6221 Catherine Lowthian - Barrhaven/Bells Corners 613-221-6227 Mike Stoodley - Stittsville - 613-221-6231 Annie Davis - Ottawa West - 613-221-6217 Rico Corsi - Automotive Consultant - 613-221-6224 Blair Kirkpatrick - Orleans - 613-221-6216 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES: Sharon Russell - 613-221-6228

those cars? Can the economy of the selfdriving car create enough jobs to make up for the ones lost? Maybe, but we haven’t been very good at creating jobs for the people who no longer work in, for example, the pulp and paper industry, or the people whose jobs have been automated out of existence. That’s one thing. The other is more in the realm of science fiction, but then, what’s more science fiction than a self-driving car? Since self-driving cars depend on computers and since computers, as we see every day, can be hacked, who is to say that the controls of our adorable little non-polluting vehicles won’t, from time to time, fall into the wrong hands? It could be pranksters, or worse. Do you want Julian Assange driving you to work? If hackers can disable websites, can’t they also disable cars? And think of the chaos that would develop if that happened.

Miracles can still happen. The system could work, the hackers could be thwarted, a new economy could be created and we would all live happily ever after, no longer slaves to the automobile.

Military members reflect on their time in Afghanistan BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

Retired Canadian Armed Forces warrant officer Lucie Laporte won’t be attending Remembrance Day ceremonies this year. “It’s extremely difficult,” Laporte said, of traditional ceremonies at local cenotaphs. “It’s too many memories coming back to me.” There, she’d see people she’s worked with tears in their eyes and with what she calls “death in the eyes” of people whose lives have forever been changed by the things they have seen, experienced and felt. For the past several years, she’s taken a quieter approach to the sombre day. She’ll instead be raking leaves, each one representing a fallen comrade, people she refers to as her brothers and sisters. “At the moment of silence I’ll bring myself back to the memories,” she said, before listening to some upbeat music and carrying on with her day. Laporte’s military career lasted 28 years and through it she spent time in many places, including Italy, United Arab Emirates

and Afghanistan. Just two days before she was to leave Afghanistan, she came face to face with a suicide bomber. “He was maybe 20 feet away and I had to decide do I shoot or don’t I,” she said, remembering it was either him or her. The suicide bomber backed down. “I was relieved and happy not to shoot, but I would have to save my life and the life of my driver.” But her career wasn’t all close calls. Laporte said she enjoyed travelling to new places and the camaraderie within the ranks. “The were my brothers and sisters in a way.” She’s also seen the change in how women are treated. “They have it easier. There are still challenges, but when I started it was a man’s world, literally.” While things are changing, Laporte bumped up against inequality while in Afghanistan when working with soldiers from other countries, including Afghanistan and Pakistan. “They wouldn’t like it if I looked in their eyes or even talk-

It was frustrating, but you do what you have to to get the job done.”

Laporte initially joined because she didn’t know what she wanted to do out of high school – she wanted something different.

Service remembered every day through legion membership Continued from page 10

Sgt. Jon Kuzub also served in Afghanistan after joining the Forces in 2002. “Joining the military is a way to do selfless public service,” Kuzub said in an interview, as a woman approached to thank him for his service in a local coffee shop. He too remembers the close calls he had in Afghanistan in 2008, when he was on a six-month tour. It was an opportunity Kuzub jumped at. “All you’re doing is training, but never competing. I wanted to do the job for real.” As an armoured car driver, shuttling people around, the first few days were wracked with tension. Kuzub remembers clutching the steering wheel so hard his knuckles turned white. But it didn’t take long for him to adapt to the stressful environment. “You have to or you can’t face the adversity.”

He would drive anyone from the minister of defence to reporters to military personnel. Then one day he drove over an improvised explosive device and moments later it exploded, hitting the vehicle behind him. He remembers stopping and collecting the dead bodies, and in other cases, performing first aid on the injured. Getting through it, Kuzub credits his leaders. “The leadership has to be strong,” he said, adding one time an armoured vehicle driver took a roundabout too fast and rolled several times. The driver wasn’t hurt, but his confidence was shaken. “They were good enough to give him is confidence back, to carry on. If people can’t carry on after a traumatic event, I think it’s in large part because the leadership isn’t doing all it can do,” he said. While there, Kuzub missed his sister’s wedding

and his brother would call him crying, afraid for his safety. “That’s really hard,” he said. Each Remembrance Day, Kuzub joins a local ceremony. “It’s always about being reminded of the suffering that can be brought by war and remembering that every effort should be made for a peaceful resolution,” he said, adding it’s important to also remember the best solution is to address conflict in a diplomatic and peaceful way as much as possible. “I celebrate Remembrance Day on Nov. 11, but I also remember year-round by being a member of the legion,” he said of his joining the Westboro Legion about two years ago. The legion is hosting two services on Nov. 11, one at 11 a.m. at the Carlingwood Mall and the other at 2 p.m. at the cenotaph on Richmond Road between Broadview and Golden avenues.

Help us raise money for school breakfast programs in Nunavut. REALIZING THE NEED Eva von Jagow, a student from Stittsville, was researching Nunavut for a school project when she came across the harsh reality of nutrition in our Far North.

SUBMITTED

Technology infusion J.H. Putman Public School teachers Louise Vaillancourt and Susan Lee accept a cheque from Best Buy representatives on Nov. 4 for the STEM school tech grant. The funds will be used to purchase additional Chromebooks, charging stations, Ozobots and robotic kits for the school. “With this grant money we hope to start some new initiatives and expand on some of our existing ones to engage our whole school community by bringing technology into the classrooms and by doing so, we hope to encourage our most at-risk students,” said principal Mary Jane Johnson in a press release.

She was shocked to see a photo of a jar of peanut butter costing $18.99 in a Nunavut supermarket! Eva quickly learned even with federal shipping subsidies, a head of cabbage can cost over $20. A three-litre container of orange juice is typically $9. In the winter months especially, fresh fruit and vegetables are exorbitantly priced and of poor quality. All this means that many Nunavut children start off their school day with poor nutrition. In Canada, a country that is hailed as having one of the highest standards of living in the world, no child should be going to school hungry or malnourished.

Drop-off until November 14, 2016

CRAVING CHANGE Eva decided she wanted to help, and she wanted to start by giving children a healthy start to the day, beginning with breakfast. She contacted the Breakfast Club of Canada and they agreed to direct any money she raised to specific Nunavut schools in need of a funded breakfast program.

The idea for the All That Glam fundraiser itself came to her while helping her mom clean out her closet and jewelry box. Like many women, Eva’s mother, Karen, wore the same 10 to 20 pieces of jewelry and used the same five handbags most of the time. That’s when Eva thought, “Women donate their clothes all the time; why not their jewelry?” This realization sparked the idea to create a gently-used jewelry and handbag sale to raise money for Nunavut schools. NOURISHING CORAL HARBOUR SCHOOL’S BREAKFAST PROGRAM The All That Glam Sale has become an annual event. For the 4th year running, the fundraiser will collect donated jewelry and handbags from the community and resell the pieces at a one-day sale to raise money needed to provide nourishment to children in Nunavut. To date, All That Glam has donated over $65,000 to the Sakku School in Coral Harbour (with corporate fund matching) which wouldn’t have been possible without the support and generosity of the local community and our sponsors. A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you. A special thanks to the Breakfast Club of Canada for directing the money raised to the Coral Harbour School.

Safety comes first for community award winners BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

As Crime Prevention Week kicked off in the city, community members and organizations who have done their part to keep the city safe were recognized at city hall. The eighth annual Community Safety Awards were held at city hall on Nov. 7, recognizing both finalists and winners from across the city the day after the crime prevention week officially started. Mayor Jim Watson said the recipients were “excellent examples of doing what you can to help do what they can to help our city be a safer place.” “It’s when people like yourself stand up and take part in their community, take part in their neighbourhood and more important take part in the day-to-day stuff that we (see a difference),” said Crime Prevention Ottawa chair Coun. Shad Qadri. “It is my hope that this evening’s celebration has a ripple effect in the community that encourages everyone to think about crime and safety.” DAISY’S DROP-IN

A drop-in program for sex trade workers in the Carling-

ton area won the community program award. The program runs from 5 to 9 a.m. and gives workers access to primary care, hot meals, and help with harm reduction. Cameron Ketchum, from the Carlington Community Association, nominated the program. He said the program helps get resources to workers that can help workers with their own health and safety. YOUTH PROGRAM

A program called In Love… and In Danger received the youth program award. The program, through Family Services Ottawa, runs in both English school boards and talks about dating violence. Staff worked with students from Notre Dame High School, and students put together a music video to teach others about healthy relationships. Erin Flemming said one of the most impactful moments of the program was when a male student realized he had been abusive to a former girlfriend, phoned her to apologize, and pledged not to do it in the future. “I think it was a really profound moment,” Flemming

Youth Centre. The program welcomes youth ages 12 to 18 to the centre for fun programs, as well as skills workships. “We focus most of our youth to go to school. We

want them to finish high school, we want them to go to university and college,” Ayass said. “We’re giving them the tools, the opportunities they need to be productive adults in the community.”

The City of Ottawa has developed a plan to provide a park and ride facility on the north side of future Brian Coburn Boulevard, between Navan Road and Page Road. The plan includes new intersections on Navan Road and Brian Coburn Boulevard to access the site, a transit access at the future Navan/Brian Coburn roundabout intersection and a parking lot capacity of roughly 600 parking stalls. The alternate site will provide interim transit service to Chapel Hill and the East Urban Community until the Cumberland Transitway is constructed. The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and an EA Project File has been prepared according to the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, amended 2007, 2011 and 2013) document for Municipal Transit Projects. The Project File documents the study process, including the selected solution, an environmental inventory, consultation and mitigation/impacts of the plan. The Project File will be available for a 30-day public review period between November 14, 2016 and December 13, 2016 at the following locations during their regular business hours: Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change Environmental Approvals Branch 135 St. Clair Avenue West, 1st Floor Toronto ON MAV 1P5

Online Information Session Baseline/Woodroffe Stormwater Management Pond Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and Functional Design November 3, 2016 to November 21, 2016 ottawa.ca/baselinewoodroffepond The City of Ottawa has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for a proposed Stormwater Management Pond at the northeast corner of Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue. A stormwater management pond was initially recommended in the Pinecrest Creek/Westboro Stormwater Management Retrofit Study (2011) and underwent further assessment in the Feasibility Study for a Surface Stormwater Management Facility at Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue (2015). The proposed pond will provide treatment and flow control for runoff from some 435 hectares that currently drain uncontrolled to Pinecrest Creek. The pond is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and will identify a preferred alternative and functional design for the pond. You are invited to an Online Information Session to review and comment on the existing conditions and pond alternatives. Please visit Ottawa.ca/baselinewoodroffepond and fill out the questionnaire by November 21, 2016. The study team will review all comments and respond to any concerns or questions before the Class EA report is completed.

Transportation committee hears about safe student transportation projects BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

There are a lot of partners working to make sure Ottawa school children get to school safely, the city’s transportation committee heard Nov. 2. Ottawa Public Health works with schools to get more students walking to and from school, a report by city staff says. A report by the health authority found that only one in five students reported walking to and from school. So OPH has been working with schools to promote walkability and walking school buses – scheduled group walks to school led by an adult. OPH conducts assessments for schools identified as appropriate for walking. These walkability assessments identify issues that may be a barrier to walking and cycling in a school’s neighbourhood, the report reads. Aside from OPH, the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority piloted a number of walking school buses at the beginning of the

school year. Staff began looking at the issue in May following a discussion of photo radar as a means to reduce speeding in school zones. Several councillors asked about speeding on streets on the students’ way to school, rather than just the road the school is on. The report also documented opportunities and considerations to take into account when exploring the implementation of photo radar in the city. The report released Nov. 2 outlined what’s out there to help make sure kids are safe when they walk to school. “It’s helpful to understand what the partnerships are and how they intersect with what we are trying to do as a city,” said Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney. Staff will report back in the first quarter of 2017 on changing speed limits in some schools zones to 30 kilometres per hour. “It’s a template we can use going forward,” transportation chair Keith Egli said of the Nov. 2 report. “Now we have it all in one place.”

River Coun. Riley Brockington put together a notice of motion with Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans in an attempt to develop a policy on large donations to the city that was presented at the city’s finance and economic development committee on Nov. 1.

Councillors ask staff to develop policy on large gifts BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Giver Park at Mooney’s Bay and the proposal for a mountain bike track at Carlington Park highlight the need for a policy on donations to the city, said River Coun. Riley Brockington, during a meeting of the city’s finance and economic development committee on Nov. 1. “A policy with respect to donations would benefit residents,” GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans said during the introduction of the motion. The proposal, moved by Deans, would give staff direction to develop a policy. The controversial mega park at Mooney’s Bay included a $1-million donation from Sinking Ship Entertainment. Many area residents took issue with the lack of consultation about the placement, location and size of the park – meant to celebrate the country’s

150th birthday. The city’s community and protective services committee considered the mountain bike park, but again, residents complained about a lack of consultation. “If there were a specific policy in place, we could ensure the public is consulted in the project’s early stages,” Brockington said. The motion would require city staff to look at issues of delegated authority around donations, as well as public engagement strategy and the accountability and transparency policy. According to the notice of motion, the aim would be to develop guidelines that are at an arm’s length from any city decisionmaking process. It would provide criteria and a process for the acceptance of donations. Staff will bring recommendations back to committee in the second quarter of 2017.

Event highlights culture of self-loathing BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

A sold out event had the audience of about 600 people thinking about moving away from self-loathing to selfloving. The Royal hosted the Girlfriend’s Guide to Mental Health on Nov. 3 with keynote speaker Sophie Grégoire Trudeau. Grégoire Trudeau offered her own advice to women, girls and even men who suffer from low self-esteem. When she was suffering from bulimia, she said her path to recovery was anchored in trusting others with her story. “The only way to recovery is if we share our stories,” she said to thunderous applause. “That takes vulnerability and it takes tenderness, it takes love.” Grégoire Trudeau added that today’s culture is one of self-hatred.

Sophie Grégoire Trudeau offered her own advice to women, girls and even men who suffer from low self-esteem at The Royal’s Girlfriend’s Guide to Mental Health on Nov. 3.

Doctor presents strategies to improve self-esteem Continued from page 24

“What is the conversation everyone in this room has with herself or himself in silence when no one is looking?” She said most are looking for something to change. “Whether it’s fake nails, fake breasts, fake hair, fake everything – you name it it’s being done. We are being sold a message that the way we come to life is not right.” She said it’s no wonder that people suffer from mental illness or eating disorders. New provincial statistics show that about one in three teens will experience mild to severe anxiety. “That’s huge,” she said. Dr. Ameneh Mirzaei, a psychiatrist with the Royal’s mood and anxiety disorders

program, discussed the emotional and psychological consequences of low self-esteem and strategies to improve it. She said negative self-esteem is a cycle that needs to be broken.

sure to build muscle, while women look to lose weight. A decade ago, models weighed about eight per cent less than the average woman, and they now weigh about 23 per cent less, Mirzaei said.

“Whether it’s fake nails, fake breasts, fake hair, fake everything – you name it it’s being done. We are being sold a message that the way we come to life is not right.” SOPHIE GRÉGOIRE TRUDEAU.

“The only way to break the cycle is to start addressing the negative self-talk,” she said. With the pressure to keep up to images in magazines and on TV, boys feel the pres-

According to a University of Washington survey, by age 13, 53 per cent of American girls are unhappy with their bodies and by age 17 that increases to 78 per cent.

At the same time about 50 per cent of girls and 30 per cent of boys take steps to lose weight. “Kids can’t keep up and it effects self-esteem,” Mirzaei said. The consequences of low self-esteem can be mental illness, depression, anxiety or eating disorders. Mirzaei added it can also make youth vulnerable to alcohol and substance abuse. She suggested a few practices to help rebuild self-esteem, including writing down things you appreciate about yourself to challenge your own negative beliefs, and breaking from the habit of comparing yourself to others. “Be your own best friend, have the same unconditional love for you that you have for your children,” she said. Some other advice: get sleep, challenge your fears, set goals, be selfish sometimes and surround yourself with positive people. “Improving your self-esteem is a lifelong journey and a process,” she said.

Changes to AIDS funding is ‘catastrophic’: Lacasse BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A change to the way the Public Health Agency of Canada funds communitybased organizations that offer supports to those living with HIV, AIDS and Hepatitis C is a disaster, said the executive director of the Canadian AIDS Society. The change began in April 2014 when the government engaged with Rebecca Gilman, a spokesperson for the public health agency, and a wide variety of stakeholders on the development of the HIV and Hepatitis C community action fund. Gilman said the criteria for the fund was also developed

with stakeholders, that included community-based organizations, provincial and territorial governments and public health professionals. This year, the agency doled out, $24.6 million through the new fund, leaving 42 AIDS service organizations without funding from PHAC. “For some, the majority or all of their funding was through the federal government,” Lacasse said. “How do you rewrite your business model when you lose that much funding?” The AIDS society has also lost funding, which will amount to $500,000 Lacasse said. With political letter-writing campaigns and a change.org petition gearing up, Lacasse is

calling on Health Minister Jane Philpott to increase funding for HIV overall and create a national “seamless response” to HIV, hepatitis C and other sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections. Ottawa Public Health statistics on the number of people living with HIV are from a 2009 Ontario HIV epidemiologic monitoring unit report. At that time there were 3,080 people living with HIV. A report done by Public Health Ontario in 2010 shows that there were 5,488 individuals living with Hepatitis B at that time. Lacasse said there are 75,000 people living with HIV nationally. One of the local organizations to see funding cut is Bruce House – which offers residential care for HIV patients. With the shift towards funding organizations that focus on prevention, many front line work has fallen through the cracks, Lacasse said. Despite that, Gilman said the funding remains steady. “Canada is committed to eliminating HIV/AIDS as a public health threat by 2030,” Gilman wrote in an emailed statement. “Indeed, the priorities identified in the community action fund are intended to help Canada meet these targets by focusing on evidence-

We are taking an integrated approach to HIV, Hepatitis C and other sexually transmitted and blood borne infections (STBBI) to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of prevention initiatives for these diseases. This integrated approach will address common transmission routes, risk be-

haviours, and priority populations through targeted prevention interventions.” The government has created a contingency fund for organizations who have lost their funding. But Lacasse said the meager fund – totaling $600,000 – isn’t enough. Those organizations whose

federal funding was terminated will have until March 31, 2017. Lacasse said the original plan was to give organizations a year. “There are practicalities that weren’t considered, like contracts and leases,” he said, adding the provincial governments simply don’t have the capacity to pick up the slack.

City to retain ownership of iconic Dickinson House JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ottawa’s finance and development committee decided on Nov. 1 to retain ownership of Dickinson House and the carriage shed in Manotick. The approval comes after The Manotick Mill Quarter Community Development Corporation, which was established by the City of Ottawa to save and redevelop key heritage properties in Manotick Village, is being dissolved after the sale of three properties. The Manotick Mill Quarter Community Development Corporation originally acquired six properties in the Mill Quarter, consulted with residents about possible development that would fit the community character, and then put the properties up for sale. Three of the six properties listed received good offers, while one property was retained by the City for the Remembrance Park development. “The City stepped in when there was a lot of concern in the community about the future of Manotick’s heritage,”

Mayor Jim Watson wrote in a press release. “We acquired several properties, set up a development corporation, and then recovered most of our funds through the sale of the buildings to new owners who will put the properties to good use. It’s a great win for Manotick and for the City of Ottawa.” “We have managed to save heritage buildings that are in the heart of Manotick, while encouraging new uses for these buildings and providing opportunities for new business ventures,” said Rideau Goulbourn Councillor Scott Moffatt. “We are preserving our community’s history, while adding to the vibrancy and economic prosperity of our community for years to come.” Dickinson House and the Carriage Shed, did not generate viable offers. The Board of the Manotick Mill Quarter Community Development Corporation recommended that the City keep public ownership of these two buildings, which is strongly supported in the community. Council gets final say on Nov. 9.

Conservatives choose candidate for new provincial Carleton riding BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Cheers and applause erupted as Goldie Ghamari was elected as the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party nominee in the new Carleton riding after a controversial nomination campaign. “I’m so honoured and I’m really humbled to have earned your trust, and I promise you I will not let you down,” Ghamari said from the stage of the Alfred Taylor Centre in North Gower following a nomination vote on Nov. 5 in which she defeated rival Brandon Purcell of Stittsville. She said in her 10-month campaign she drove to nearly every corner of the new provincial riding, making stops in Metcalfe, Stittsville, Ashton, Munster, Richmond, North Gower, Kars, Vernon and Manotick, and credited those who supported her. The trade lawyer said it

was unfortunate that attacks were made against her during the campaign. “Attacks have included racial smears, lies about my decency and my loyalty to Canada,” she said. “And I just wanted to let you know that despite these attacks I didn’t quit. I didn’t give up and I will never give up.” When Purcell took to the stage after the vote result was announced, he focused on the importance of advocating for “a PC-united party,” prompting applause and cheers. “And the key to winning this riding after today is going to be for all members, because if we are divided then (Premier) Kathleen Wynne wins again,” he said before introducing Ghamari in her new role. PROCESS

The vote breakdown was not disclosed by party officials. Purcell’s father, John, ex-

pressed concern to Metroland Media after the meeting that the official ballot count had not been announced. However, Purcell said he, as a candidate, chose not to learn the tally. “One of my volunteers was a scrutineer back there, but I’m fine not knowing,” he said. “It’s just not something I want to think about right now.” He reiterated that his focus is on ensuring the party is unified. “At the end, this was a divisive campaign,” Purcell said, adding he and his competition spent the bulk of the race concentrating on their own campaigns, but that this changed by the end of the nomination campaign. “A lot of people were upset, and what’s needed is unity and I was the only voice in the room who could actually do that,” Purcell said of his final speech.

Ontario PC Party officials refuse to disclose vote breakdown Continued from page 29

He said he will now focus on finishing his university degree over the next month, but that he plans to seek another political nomination in the future, possibly at the provincial level again. Bob Stanley, executive director of the Ontario PC Party, said the voting numbers are not publicly disclosed, but did reveal that more than 300 ballots had been cast. It’s not a party constitution rule, he said, adding, “There’s just no purpose served in it.” When asked why the numbers wouldn’t be disclosed in case it had been a close vote, prompting a candidate to contest the results and request a recount – a concern raised by Purcell’s father – Stanley said, “Both sides were satisfied with the vote.” Tamara Macgregor, director of communications

for the Ontario PC Party and PC Party leader Patrick Brown, initially said the party would provide the voting count. But following the announcement that Ghamari had won, Macgregor said she didn’t know what the vote breakdown was but would email the tally. She later did not respond to an emailed request for that information and the total ballots cast. In the lead up to the nomination meeting, a number of complaints were directed at Ghamari and the Carleton PC Riding Association around the optics at the founding meeting in August, that Ghamari sits on the association’s board of directors, whether the Alfred Taylor Centre could accommodate enough Conservatives for a nomination meeting, and the time frame allotted for voting registration. More changes raised eye-

brows at the nomination meeting. As voters waited to cast their ballots, Purcell said last-minute changes had been made to the nomination meeting schedule. Purcell said he received a letter on Oct. 2 informing him that candidate speeches would begin at 9 a.m., followed by registration and voting. Originally, the registration was slotted for 9 to 10 a.m., followed by speeches and then registration and voting. Purcell said those changes forced him to cancel an early morning pre-nomination meeting breakfast at the Manotick United Church where he planned to meet residents of the riding. “We weren’t expecting this second (letter). I received no explanation as to why it changed at the last minute,” he said. “The riding (association) asked for more time,” Macgregor said of the

registration process. Liz MacKinnon, president of the Carleton PC Riding Association, said party members received an updated notice by mail about the changes on Oct. 1 and that it was done to accommodate busy farmers in the community. For those with their minds made up, they could skip the speeches and drop in between 9:30 and 11 a.m. to register and vote, MacKinnon said, adding that party officials made the scheduling change but she felt enough advance notice about the amended schedule had been provided. While she said she didn’t know the change was being made because “the party ran the whole show,” she said the revised schedule was more efficient for voters. “If they don’t want to sit through speeches and stand in long lines to be registered, that’s easy for people.”

Public Health working on changing drinking culture BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

While six out of ten Ottawa drinkers are moderate or low-risk, according to a report by Ottawa Public Health staff, there’s still more work to be done. The aim of the work is to shift the culture to one of alcohol moderation, but right now four of ten people are still practicing risky drinking behaviours, said Jacqueline Roy, who works in the health promotion and disease prevention unit of OPH. The statistics show that 83 per cent of adults drink and 44 per cent of young adults binge drink. Perhaps even more troubling, is that 47 per

cent of grades seven to 12 students admit to drinking. Aside from the direct health impacts, are the second-hand effects, Roy said. “The police deal with 4,000 alcohol-related offenses annually, so that’s a big burden,” said Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Isra Levy. The report also has emergency room information from the Ottawa Hospital. One of the more troubling statistics was that 90 per cent of sexual assaults involved alcohol. “People need to stop seeing it as an individual issue, and start seeing it as a community issue,” Roy said. Levy said with numbers like a death every three days,

people should start paying more attention. “In any other context, I would be calling in the crisis unit,” he said. “But when I talk about it in relation to alcohol I am met with bewilderment and contempt.” Roy said it’s going to take a generation to change society’s attitudes. “Look at how long it took to change attitudes towards using seatbelts and smoking,” she said. Board member Dr. Ahul Kapur said work needs to be done to de-normalize drinking and have bystanders more willing to step in when they see someone who appears to be under the influence.

City’s environment committee takes on climate change BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Two members of the public wanted to get the city’s environment committee to change more than its name on Nov. 1. As part of the midterm governance review, the environment committee will change it’s name to the environment and climate protection committee to better reflect the work it does, said committee chair David Chernushenko. “It’s symbolic, but it’s more than that,” Chernushenko said.

‘Wildlife and bio diversity is an integral part of the city’s environment.’ DONNA DUBREUIL PRESIDENT OF THE OTTAWA CARLETON WILDLIFE CENTRE

But Donna DuBreuil, president of the Ottawa Carleton wildlife centre, wanted more than a name change. DuBreuil said it makes little sense for the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee to deal with urban wildlife concerns and urban forest management, since most of their work deals with the city’s rural area. “Wildlife and bio diversity is an integral part of the city’s environment,” she said. Debbie Laws, a member of the board of directors for the Ottawa Valley Wild Bird Care Centre, said the centre dealt with thousands of injured birds last year. The number of injured birds topped 3,300 last year, she said – a 35 per cent increase over the previous year. And for a small, not-for-profit, the increase in winged patients puts a lot of pressure on the budget. “I find it odd that birds and wildlife don’t fall under the environment committee’s mandate,” she said. “It’s responsible for the common green spaces and natural areas. The committee should also be responsible for the birds and wildlife that need those areas for their survival.” Both DuBreuil and Laws said the

environment committee was well positioned to implement the city’s wildlife strategy and help ensure wildlife sensitive planning practices. Chernushenko said he doesn’t have any interest in the committee taking on mandates that currently belong to other committees, but said he has been working with the city clerk’s office on identifying any holes in what committees cover. “It has become apparent there are issues not covered by any committee,” he said. “Councillor (Scott) Moffatt has the puzzling issue of dealing with urban birds, but it’s much like stormwater drains, which can cross urban and rural boundaries.” Chernushenko said he and city clerk Rick O’Connor are very close to devising a motion, and expect to have something by the Nov. 9 council meeting.

LEST WE

FORGET

On behalf of Stirling Park and Carlingwood Retirement Communities Thank you. For your service. For your courage. For your sacrifice.

NOT MEANT TO BE DIVISIVE

Chernushenko said the name change of the environment committee wasn’t meant to be a divisive issue. “The motion was meant to reflect a new reality,” he said, adding that the city has to deal with the once-incentury-type storms happening more regularly. But Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley disagreed, saying climate protection is the work of the federal and provincial governments. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt, who chairs ARAC, said that the committee has a relatively light work load and suggested a combination with the transportation committee under a title like public works. Transportation chair Keith Egli said he wasn’t interested in the merging of the two committees. “I think it would be unwieldy, and there is some overlap,” he said. “But you could say that of any of the city’s committees.” The city’s mid-term governance review is completed by the city clerk. It takes a look at city committees and practices and offers suggestions to make things run more smoothly. As part of the process, the city clerk met with each councillor to hear what they thought should be changed. “It was a dialogue, a two-way street, but it’s built on consensus,” he said. Council will receive the report on Nov. 9.

Remembrance Day is a day to remember much. My dad a veteran himself started putting one Remembrance Day poppy each year in the frame of a picture he liked. A picture of four little girls singing carols. It’s the top of a large 1921 Met Life calendar. I had to open and look, curiosity and discovery are a good thing. They had nice calendars then. He bought it framed. My mom painted it gold, nice job, nice picture. I think my dad liked it because he was from a family of five boys and he had three boys, no sisters, no daughters. Most poppies in the frame have the black centre, a few have the green none have both the black

Everyone is a little different and we feel different some days, still they may be contributing, even to you in some way. Remembrance Day is a day to remember people, not the conflicts between them. The beauty of tolerance, acceptance, helping and loving will hopefully change Remembrance from conflicts and sadness to loving, peace and joy. It’s nice we set aside one day to catch our attention and focus on what we should be feeling every day. I have a beautiful picture, from a beautiful person I see and focus on every day.

and green, which was phased out in 1969. He started his collection later. Every year since his passing I add one more poppy to that picture. It becomes more beautiful every year. One more way to remember a beautiful person. Remembrance Day is a day to remember much. Those that didn’t know you but did their best to help, those you love and loved and loved you and those you don’t know but should love and help. If one of us was on this earth alone we would disappear. Without helping and loving we would be gone. Every person you see; too fast on the road, too slow in the line may be contributing some way through helping and loving.

Local services on Nov. 11 STAFF

For those looking to remember on Nov. 11, there are a number of local community ceremonies to choose from. BRITANNIA PARK

A ceremony at Flanders Field Mosaic Memorial (beside the trolley station in Britannia Park) begins around 10:45 a.m. and is organized by Regina Street Public School and Dr. FJ MacDonald Catholic School. It’s a short ceremony with poems and student participation and wreaths will be laid. Principal of Regina Street Public School, Robert James said the public is welcome to attend. “Having it in the park, makes it a little more special – students are in the gym everyday and having the public attend only heightens the feeling of importance for students.” Students from the school helped create the 500 poppies depicted at the cenotaph, which opened in 2013. WESTBORO

The Westboro Legion has organized two ceremonies to commemorate Remembrance Day this year. The first, is at 11 a.m. at the

SOUTH OTTAWA

While there have been a number of Remembrance services in south Ottawa in the lead up to Nov. 11, the public can still choose from several locations where they can reflect and pay tribute on Remembrance Day itself. A Remembrance Day service takes place on Nov. 11 at 11 a.m. at the cenotaph in Greely, weather permitting. In the event of inclement weather, the event will be held in the Legion branch hall on Mitch Owens Road. Please meet in the Legion lounge at 10:45 a.m. Light refreshments and fellowship will follow. And in Metcalfe, a Remembrance Day ceremony begins at 10:45 a.m. at the cenotaph, located at the town hall. It’s anticipated the event will draw many people from across Osgoode Ward to pay their respects. In Heron Park, the Strathcona Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion is open to everyone on Nov. 11 from noon to 5 p.m. The branch is located at 1940B Bank St., near the Pizza Hut.

Muslim leader stresses need to love your country BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

Donald Trump doesn’t act like a man who wants to be president, said the leader of what’s considered to be the fastest growing Muslim sect in the world, who was in Cumberland on Oct. 18. Caliph Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad visited the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mosque in Cumberland as a part of a tour of Canada in the 50th year of the Muslim organization’s Canadian presence. The Caliph is originally from Pakistan, but lives in London, England, and is the world leader of

the religious organization with millions of members worldwide. While in Cumberland, the Caliph took a short break from meeting with local Muslim families to speak about a number of topics with Metroland Media, ranging from his meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau the day before, to the use of technology and the radicalization of youth. He is not worried that Trump, who has made what some consider shocking statements about the Muslim population, will be able to act on his words if elected in the American presidential election in No-

vember. He said that some of the statements Trump has made about the Muslim community are “just nonsense” and even if he is elected, he’ll have a hard time being backed by his own party to implement the policies he’s touted during his campaign. He doesn’t have the same concerns about Canadian politics, though he does promote G8 countries, including Canada, in the United Nations working together to prevent radicalization, and the monitoring of Islamic schools and SUBMITTED/AHMADIYYA MUSLIM JAMA`AT mosques. The world head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama`at, Caliph Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (left) met See CALIPH, page 45

with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Oct. 17 at Parliament Hill. The Caliph arrived in Ottawa on Oct. 15, and met with families at the mosque in Cumberland.

During his meeting with Prime Minister Trudeau, he said they discussed world issues including the crisis in Syria. He didn’t have any concerns with Canadian policy accepting refugees, but said Canadians do need to be aware of world issues because today, the world is a global village. “Canada is already taking good measures to absorb refugees.” he said. “Canadians are always very generous.” Muslims in Canada — and in countries around the world — are taught as a part of their faith to love their country, the Caliph said. Anyone who doesn’t, is going against the teachings of Islam. “A Muslim, a Christian, or a Jew or anybody, if he’s a true citizen then they should respect each other,” he said.

“It’s said that Muslims are not honest to their country, or they do not want to integrate. That is not true. If somebody is not doing it, that is their own action — but not the teaching. Islam’s teaching is teaching that love

shouldn’t be taken away — but governments should be monitoring what people are using it for. He also has words of wisdom for the local Ahmadiyya Muslim community, and said to remember the message that he has been spreading. He said once someone has accepted and integrated into their country, they won’t feel like the odd one out, or different. “The love of your country is part of your faith,” he said. “Even from childhood, our children are getting this message. This message is engrained in their minds, that they have to be law-abiding always. “They have to be loyal, and they have to show proper integration into the country… Elders as well, those who have migrated, even the immigrants or refugees who came here are very well integrated,” he said.

Cecil experiences his few minutes of fame M MARY other thought that Miss Crosby, our teacher at the Northcote school, should be made a saint when she passed. But that couldn’t happen, my sister Audrey said, because she wasn’t a Catholic. That morning, as always, she was ready to read a verse from the Bible, have us sing God Save the King, and say a prayer, which she wrote herself. She stood erect at her desk, wearing the same printed dress she wore every day, with a starched white collar and cuffs, which she changed every few days. She favoured the Beatitudes, and had only been reading a couple minutes, paused to take a breath, and a loud cracking could be heard all over the school. Cecil had done it again! He had this talent of cracking his toes when he was wearing his gumrubbers, and when he wasn’t wearing stockings, which

until everyone in the Northcote School was in hysterics. Miss Crosby folded the Bible, flopped down on her chair behind her desk, and put her head down on her folded arms. I thought she was crying, because her shoulders were shaking.

was usually the case. The noise echoed in his gumrubbers like a slap with an open hand on a 2-by-4. Miss Crosby rolled her eyes skyward, but not a sound came out of her mouth. The whole room was silent. “Cecil,” she said. And she sounded like she had just run all the way from the Barr Line. “Cecil, I heard that. In fact, they probably heard it at Briscoes General Store. Stand up and apologize to the class.” Tall and rail thin, Cecil unfolded himself from his seat. He said nothing. Miss

We all sat in utter silence waiting. Nothing happened. The morning was wearing on, and Miss Crosby wisely decided to bring things back to order. At recess outside, everyone gathered around Cecil like he was the mayor of Renfrew. He loved being on centre stage and went on to explain this amazing feat. The reason he couldn’t perform for Miss Crosby, he said, was because he could only crack his toes inside his gum rubbers. And there he sat on the school steps, cracking his toes inside his gum rubbers, enjoying his few minutes of fame at the Northcote School, before Miss Crosby appeared at the door with the big brass bell.
