EMC news - Suicide alertness and prevention training is like first-aid for a person’s mental health.

“The more equipped people are, the better,” said Arianne Richeson, manager of educational services for the Distress Centre of Ottawa.

“The importance of training or dialogue about suicide is it takes away the taboo.”

Richeson hosted safeTALK, a three-hour suicide alertness workshop – held in partnership with the Kanata Haven Youth Centre and Reach Up Ottawa – for around 15 people on Wednesday, July 25 at the Lion Dick Brule Community Centre in Glen Cairn.

The training session taught the audience how to respond if someone opens up to them about suicidal thoughts, how to spot potentially suicidal behaviour and how to connect people with resources.

Most people with thoughts of suicide invite help from others but often it’s missed,

dismissed or avoided, which can leave people feeling more alone and at greater risk, said Richeson.

“It’s good to know what to do or say if someone approaches you in distress.”

The Distress Centre takes about 40,000 calls a year, she said. About 20 per cent of those calls relate to suicide.

“The reality is, a lot of people don’t call us,” she said.

The safeTALK training “helps the community be stronger,” because people can recognize the signs of someone in distress.

The audience for the workshop was a mixture of teenagers and adults. Nineteen-year-old Jenna Harding said suicide awareness and prevention training is important to learn because it can help save a life.

“There are a lot of suicidal people out there,” she said.

“Obviously it’s an issue.”

According to the Distress Centre, about one in 20 people have thoughts of suicide.

EMC news - A family of creative and caring children is hosting a bottle and food drive to help the Kanata Food Cupboard.

The Crepeault family, the founders of the non-profit group Kreative Kids Who Kare, is altering its fifth annual fundraiser to benefit the local food cupboard.

“This year we’re doing it for the Kanata Food Cup-

board instead of CHEO,” said 14-year-old Hannah.

“We saw that in the Kanata Kourier-Standard the Kanata Food Cupboard was in desperate need of food.”

The Bridlewood family – which includes two-month-

old Joseph, Lily, 6, Nathaniel, 8, Simon, 10, Sarah, 12, Hannah, 14, Jacob, 16, mother Wendy and father Kevin – decided to change the charity recipient this year because Jacob has graduated from the children’s hospital.

The family originally chose to raise funds for CHEO because most of the children had spent some time there for broken bones and illnesses.

“It’s a little bittersweet,” said Wendy, adding the staff at CHEO has always treated the family well.

Talking, listening can be very helpful: organizer Continued from page 1

Thoughts of suicide are more common than people think.

“It’s a big community health issue,” said Richeson. “And yet we don’t talk about it that often.

The most common reaction is people are relieved (to be asked).

things you’ve noticed,” said Richeson, adding it could be a large shift in mood or behaviour.

The next step is to ask directly if the person is thinking of suicide.

“It’s not an easy question to ask someone but it is doable,” she said. “Generally, the most common reaction is people are relieved” to be asked if they’re thinking about suicide. Asking the question won’t make someone feel suicidal.

“After, you want to listen,” she said. “It’s like a release valve. It’s actually incredibly helpful.”

It the person doesn’t want to talk, move to the final step: keep safe.

The final step involves sepa-

rating a person in distress from their means, such as flushing a bottle of pills, and connecting the person with outside help.

“You can’t be the only person who knows about someone’s thoughts of suicide,” said Richeson. “You don’t have to involve 60 people but definitely someone else.”

Suicide prevention and alertness training helps make people more comfortable in dealing with the topic, said Richeson.

“We need more people who are alert,” she said. “It’s something that affects all of us.”

The Distress Centre will host another safeTALK workshop on Aug. 22. For more information, visit the website at www.dcottawa.on.ca.

Rotarian pledges pounds for food cupboard donations Jessica Cunha and Jennifer McIntosh jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news – Steve Sharlow, the newly-minted president of the Nepean-Kanata Rotary Club, is putting his money where his mouth is.

The Rotarian plans to shed 100 pounds over the next year and is asking members of the club and the general public to pledge to the Kanata Food Cupboard to correspond with his weight loss.

We do a lot of great projects.

He held his first weigh in – coming in at 302 pounds – at the Rotary Club’s new location at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites in Kanata, on Thursday, July 26.

He will be checking on his progress once a month with official weigh-ins; his progress will be recorded and posted on the club’s website: www.nepeankanatarotary.com/steve.

Sharlow’s final weigh in will be held in July 2013.

“I think it’s going to be fun,” said the Country Club Village resident.

He plans on eliminating harmful fatty foods, cutting down on his red meat intake, and eating more lean proteins.

Sharlow will be supervised by his doctor, Ian Watson, while losing the weight. During the year-long initiative, people can pledge a dollar amount or food based on each pound.

NEW BLOOD

Sharlow recently took over the helm as the president of the Rotary Club and one of the things he would like to see

4 Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, August 2, 2012

is some new blood in the organization.

“We do a lot of great projects, but we need some new members so we can do more,” he said, adding the membership averages 25 and he would like to see that number grow by at least five new faces.

The club divides itself between local and international projects. Two of the members are currently working in African schools. The club also runs an annual scholarship program for young adults to pursue post-secondary studies and a youth exchange program.

“We had one student go to France for a year and the amount of maturity and knowledge she gained while she was away is phenomenal,” Sharlow said. “The talk she gave (during a Rotary meeting) was better than some of the adults that have come to speak.”

Sharlow said growth is one of the reasons the club moved to Kanata.

“The legion was a good spot but we wanted more room and the hotel is where we have our annual Rock the Boat fundraiser,” he said.

The Rotary Club meets once a week at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites, 101 Kanata Ave., starting at 6 p.m.

Nepean-Kanata Rotary Club president Steve Sharlow is asking Rotarians and residents alike to pledge donations to the Kanata Food Cupboard as he tries to lose weight.

“It just seemed like a natural connection,” he said, adding being overweight is a food problem, but there are many people who have difficulty buying the basics.

Rising numbers of families using the food cupboard drove Sharlow to choose the nonprofit as his pledge recipient.

“It shocks you when you see that,” he said. “Their numbers have gone up.”

His goal is to raise $200 for each pound of weight lost for the food cupboard.

“The Kanata Food Cupboard serves a lot of people,” Sharlow said. “We want to participate and be relevant to the community. These types of projects can help with that.”

EMC news - With thunderstorm season in full swing in Ontario, Hydro One wants to remind residents of the importance of being prepared in case of an extended emergency if severe weather strikes.

Make it a family activity to create a list of items your family would need in the event of an extended emergency and gather together your emergency kit.

Consider including the following items: Water (recommend 2L per person/day), canned or dried food that won’t spoil, a manual can opener, windup or battery powered flashlight, windup or battery powered radio, batteries for your flashlight and radio, a copy of your emergency evacuation plan, any medical items you require, a blanket and your community’s recovery plan.

Hydro One’s emergency power outage hotline number is 1-800-434-1235. Ensure you have at least one corded phone at home, as a cordless phone won’t work in a power outage.

If your area is affected by a storm, be sure to stay clear of any fallen power lines. If you spot a fallen line, keep at least 10 metres away.

Car show keeps money rolling in for CHEO Kanata Cruise Night for CHEO raises more than $80,000 over 16 years EMC news - Roger Thomas bought his ďŹ rst car when he was 15 years old, a 1956 Crown Victoria for $75 from a man who needed money for a drinking binge.

Ever since then, several classic cars have motored in and out of his garage, everything from a 1928 Ford Model A sedan to a 1965 Chevrolet Malibu.

Thomas said he likes to tinker with the cars, rebuild them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and of course show them off â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then sell them and move on to his next toy.

In 1996, the Glen Cairn man turned his passion for classic cars into a fundraiser for the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Thomas and his wife Karen started the ďŹ rst Kanata Cruise Night for CHEO outside Nickels Restaurant on Terry Fox Drive.

The event, which offered a venue for classic car lovers to gather and show their ve-

hicles, has since moved to its present location in the parking lot of the Hazeldean Mall on Eagleson Road, and runs from May until mid-September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a bunch of people who get together and make toys work,â&#x20AC;? said Thomas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stuff that shows up here that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see at a museum.â&#x20AC;?

The event showcases cars from all eras, said Thomas, and includes special showings such as British Night, scheduled this year for Sept. 4, that will feature Jaguars, MGs and other classic British cars.

Over the past 16 years, the charity has raised more than $80,000 for CHEO. In 2011, Kanata Cruise Night was inducted by the hospital into the Order of the Good Bear.

The volunteers who run the classic car show raise the funds with a 50/50 draw, selling food at a barbecue and rafďŹ&#x201A;es.

Area businesses have offered tremendous support, said Thomas, adding that

Roger Thomas, one of the founders of Kanata Cruise Night, shows off one of his two classic cars, a 1949 Ford sedan. more than 60 small businesses have donated prizes to be rafďŹ&#x201A;ed off to support CHEO. The Tuesday-night weekly event attracts crowds of between 1,000 to 2,000 people, and between 250 and 300 classic cars from the greater Ottawa area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had 8,000 people at the mall on June 26,â&#x20AC;? said Thomas, adding that the event raised more than $5,000 for CHEO that night.

On June 26, the Hazeldean Mall was a stopping point for the Great Race, a speed-endurance contest for cars built in 1969 or earlier that travel a route circumnavigating the

Great Lakes.

Kanata Cruise Night offers free door prizes for all children who attend the events: toys purchased at dollar stores.

Visitors to Kanata Cruise Night can enjoy a barbecue that helps raise funds for the Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club.

CARS

Every car holds a story for Thomas.

He has spent decades buying, rebuilding and then selling classic cars, using the money to purchase the next toy he has his eyes on.

The Glen Cairn man took a break from collecting classic cars for 20 years, putting his time and money into more important areas like raising a family and paying the mortgage on his house.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those years I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play with cars,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said.

But 20 years ago, Thomas decided to pursue his hobby once again, purchasing a 1955 Ford Meteor Niagara for $1,000.

He put $500 into the car

Seniors council to host annual general meeting on Sept. 10 Kanata Seniors’ Council

The Kanata Seniors Council will hold its annual general meeting in the hall of the Mlacak Centre on Sept. 10.

Council president Kay Dubie said she is hoping for a good turnout.

“We have about 1,100 members on our records but many move without letting us know,” she said.

Council is presently updating its membership records.

“But it would certainly be good to have a strong showing for the annual general meeting so that we not only get to meet our members but they get a chance to let us know whether we’re on the right path and that, in the long run, is what this is all about.”

The meeting is scheduled to start at 11 a.m. and run until 1 p.m., concluding with a light lunch.

HIGHLIGHTS

the Council Cafe was a challenge this year, said Dubie.

“We must be doing something right since our clientele is still growing, depending on the time of the year.”

The computer program with its competitively-priced one-on-one tutorials remained a firm favourite with an increasing number of seniors who took the plunge into the somewhat confusing world of tablets, smart phones, email and the web.

Another favourite service provided by council was the trips program, said Dubie.

“This year 197 seniors participated in the 26 trips organized by the Kanata Seniors’ Council team from the start of our season last September through to this July.”

Those trips cover a wide range – from concerts to the slots to plays and recitals.

The program also offered a tour to join the Salvation Army for its annually soldout Christmas carol concert and a trip to the war museum for Remembrance Day. “All in all we try to provide activities and run programs for the support and enjoyment

of our seniors,” said Dubie, “But we’re always open to suggestions as, indeed, we are to encouraging anyone who would like to make a contribution, to run for office on our 15-person board.”

The Frank Valentine Award, presented to a person or couple from the community whose volunteer activities have improved the quality of life of seniors, will be presented at the annual general meeting.

“So many people are engaged in volunteering in one way or another that we like to recognize those who have worked almost completely in the shadows, as it were,” said Dubie.

Nomination forms for the award can be picked up at the Kanata Seniors Centre, lo0cated at 2500 Campeau Dr. or online at www.council@ kanataseniors.ca.

Nominations must be submitted no later than Aug. 17.

The annual general meeting is an opportunity to present highlights of the year and ask members what activities they would like to see offered at the Kanata Seniors Centre for the coming year, said Dubie.

Highlights of the past year included council taking a leading role in replicating the mayor’s forum on ways of

making the city more olderadult friendly.

“A lot of people were disappointed at not being able to attend the mayor’s meeting downtown so we decided to hold our own, which we did with support from the five west Ottawa councillors and the city,” said Dubie.

The findings from that forum have been rolled into the findings of the city which is presently moving ahead to prioritize some of the proposals within the context of the Older Adult Plan.

“Then we had the second year of our Far West Fun Fest with more events and many more participants who, it seems, enjoyed themselves so much that we’re already getting asked for next years’ dates.”

This past year, council also held a meeting where people offered suggestions to make the emergency system at the Queensway Carleton Hospital more older-adult friendly.

“We’ve recently heard that the Queensway will be coming up with a report in the near future,” said Dubie.

Beer, wine don’t belong on every corner

A

re they drunk?

The Ontario Convenience Stores Association is pressing the province to allow corner stores to sell beer and wine.

At first blush the idea seems attractive, offering the convenience of more locations to pick up our libations.

Some convenience stores in rural locations are already licensed to sell beer and wine.

And of course corner store owners love the idea.

The ability to sell alcoholic

beverages can only serve to drive more traffic to these small businesses; customers who will potentially buy other items.

But while this argument may offer a lot of dollars (for corner store owners), it is lacking in sense.

There’s a reason why the sale of wine and beer is restricted to limited locations.

Easier access to beer and wine translates into easier access for those who are underage.

Loosening the restriction on where beer and wine may

be sold will provide more opportunities for youth to obtain alcoholic drinks.

If Ontario follows the example of Quebec and puts beer and wine in convenience stores, teens will have a wide variety of outlets to choose from, where they can hang around outside and pester adults for a litre of wine or a six-pack of beer.

The consumption of alcohol causes more problems than other drugs used recreationally, so why would we want to make it easier for our

children to obtain it?

According to a 2010 report

by Britain’s Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs, alcohol is a more dangerous drug than both crack cocaine and heroin when the combined harms to the user and to others are assessed.

According to MADD, following the privatization of alcohol sales in Alberta, Calgary police reported a rise in impaired driving charges and family violence in areas of the city with the highest concentration of liquor stores.

Don’t be swayed by the argument that ease of access will translate into lower prices. There’s no guarantee that prices will lower or even that the selection available will be as good as at the Beer Store or LCBO. Without that guarantee this is an idea not even worth discussing.

Keep in mind that the average corner store won’t have the shelf space to provide a wide selection. Customers may be stuck with a few major brands of beer, two white wines and two reds.

Even though purchases would be more convenient for some people, a reduced selection

and no price advantage is no improvement on today.

The price of alcoholic beverages sold at corner stores may even go up compared to those sold at LCBO stores.

Who sells a bottle of Pepsi for less – a large grocery store or a small corner store?

If they catch the premier during a tipsy moment and this idea flies, what happens if it turns out to have been a big mistake?

It may prove difficult to take away licences to sell booze if they are handed out.

Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty has already rejected the idea. We should all raise a glass and offer him a toast.

Week 41, still waiting for baby BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

I

’m 41 weeks pregnant and I’ve decided pregnancy is now my permanent state of being. For those of you who don’t know, 41 weeks means I am exactly one week past my due date.

It also means that, for the past four weeks, I’ve been on tenterhooks: anticipating baby’s arrival at any moment, thinking every cramp from a bad strawberry is a contraction, altering my labour plan daily to make sure we had a neighbour on-call to look after our older children, unsure how far to drive or to travel as a passenger.

Every morning I wake up with leg and back cramps. Until I stretch for five minutes, I’m pretty sure it’s “time.” Every morning I’ve been wrong.

Every evening, I make sure camp lunches are diligently made, the bathroom is relatively tidy, and all the laundry folded or hidden in a cupboard. I’ve decided what people call “nesting,” is actually unsustainably impeccable housekeeping driven by the fear that strangers may come to the house at any moment.

The first weeks around my due date, my husband was pretty patient. “No rush,” he said. He was on VBPL (vacation before parental leave) and using the time to complete a few things on his long list of home renovations. On a hot July weekend just before my due date, we decided it really wasn’t the best weekend to have a baby, as everyone we knew seemed to be out of town, including my midwife. “Let’s wait until Tuesday,” we decided, and we went to the beach.

Tuesday came and went. Another weekend loomed. “Let’s wait until after the weekend,”

we said. “No rush.” We watched movies, did some gardening, made pies and did other activities that one can only do with a family of four. Before we knew it, Monday arrived.

“Monday’s not a good day to have a baby,” I said. “We’re always rushed on Mondays.

Besides, we have relatives in town for supper tomorrow. Let’s wait until Wednesday.”

And then it was Wednesday. And I was officially a week overdue. And here I am.

Everyone, except my husband and children, consider me to be “quite cheerful” under the circumstances. They all ask me how I’m feeling and pat my belly as if it’s public property.

They tell me I look great, and I’m “all baby,” that “there’s no fat on me” (they haven’t seen my thighs), and ask me how long I can go before the baby makes its arrival. And everybody generously shares details about their labour and birth horror stories – to make me feel better about the whole dreaded process, I suppose.

Although people are very kind, and I’m sure they mean well, their condescension makes me feel, frankly, like a bit of a freak.

But really, it’s not too hard to make a 9.25months’ pregnant woman feel a little weird: I’m already carrying an extra 32 pounds; in the last couple of weeks, waddling has become a more natural way to put one foot in front of the other; and boy, you should see me in a bathing suit!

I’ve maintained my public game face – “all I want is a healthy baby whenever it’s ready to arrive” – but admittedly, I’m ready to reclaim my uterus.

I wasn’t sure how to start the conversation with baby to let it know it’s time for it to make a move. Then out of the blue, a friend posted something unusually supportive on my Facebook wall.

“Your timing is perfect and elegant,” she wrote, quoting Regena Thomashauer, owner of Mama Gena’s School of Womanly Arts.

I read it aloud to baby. Let’s see what today brings.

Charles Gordon’s column will return.

Fans enjoy hockey meet and greet Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - It was a father and son’s lucky day on Saturday, July 28 – the duo had the chance to meet NHLer Claude Giroux for the second time.

Seven-year-old Braden Luck, and his father Ryan, met the Philadelphia Flyers player at the Kanata Greco Lean and Fit Centre.

“Whenever there’s a game on TV, we never miss it,” said

Braden, adding Giroux is his favourite player.

Braden and Ryan, from Riverside South, visited the Kanata gym for a chance to meet one of their hockey heroes, an experience Ryan called “huge.”

Braden had his jersey and hat autographed, along with Giroux’s rookie card, a Philadelphia Flyers bear, and a poster-size photo of himself and Giroux at a previous meet and greet.

Giroux, a former Orleans resident, trains with Tony Greco.

A large crowd turned out to meet the hockey centre.

“That’s just a sign of the hard work and the inspiration he’s created,” said Greco, who added Giroux’s enthusiasm and hard work in the gym make him easy to train.

“As an instructor I get a real high off that. He makes our jobs a lot easier,” said Greco.

Muslim Association to hold Eid bazaar Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC events – The Kanata Muslim Association will host its first-ever Eid bazaar at St. John Anglican Church in Briarbrook this weekend.

The bazaar will be held at the church, located at 325 Sandhill Rd. from 2 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 4.

This year, Ramadan, a month-long period of fasting, runs from July 20 to either Aug. 19 or 20, depending on whenever the new moon occurs.

Eid marks the end of Ra-

madan.

“It’s the biggest celebration for the whole Muslim community,” said Afreen Shaikh, the woman organizing the Eid bazaar.

“On Eid, we wear new clothes, have treats – it’s like Christmas.”

So far, 11 vendors have agreed to set up booths at the bazaar, which will be held a few weeks before the actual Eid celebration, selling clothing, jewelry, food and henna.

A local real estate agent has asked to set up a booth at the bazaar as well.

“I’m getting a great response,” said Shaikh.

While Muslim adults can’t eat from sunrise to sunset during Ramadan, the children don’t fast and any food purchased at the bazaar can be taken home to be eaten later, said Shaikh.

At the end of Ramadan, the city’s Muslim community holds Eid prayers at several locations including Carleton University, the Omar mosque in Bells Corners and the Bilal Masjid mosque in south Nepean.

Shaikh said the Kanata Muslim Association is work-

ing on providing a location for Eid prayer somewhere in Kanata.

“Maybe in two years or maybe next year we’ll have Eid prayer here,” she said.

For more information about the Eid bazaar email afree. farooqui@gmail.com.

Mental illness imposes high costs on economy: report issues.”

The labour force participation rate is the percentage of working-age people who are either employed or unemployed, but are actively looking for work.

This report, Mental Health Issues in the Labour Force: Reducing the Economic Impact on Canada, measures the costs to Canada’s economy of lost labour market participation from the six most common conditions afflicting the working-age population: depression, dysthymia, bipolar disorder, social phobia, panic disorder, and agoraphobia.

Based on the Conference Board’s analysis, almost 452,000 more Canadians would be participating in the labour force in 2012 if they were not affected by mental illness.

This cost is growing at a rate of approximately 1.9 per cent every year and is expected to rise to $29.1 billion annually by 2030, according to a Conference Board estimate of the economic impact of mental illness among working-age Canadians.

“When workers have poor mental health, they have a lessened capacity to perform to their utmost. Sometimes workers with mental illnesses drop out of the workforce completely,” said Diana MacKay, director of education, health and immigration.

EMC news - Beavers are once again in the spotlight.

A demonstration took place Monday, July 30 at noon at the Human Rights Monument near Ottawa city hall where defenders of the beavers in the pond at Paul Lindsay Park in Stittsville called for the city not to harm or harass the remaining beaver and her two kits.

This beaver, named Lily by her supporters, and her two kits, named Hope and Harmony, are now without a lodge at the pond since city workers destroyed it on Canada Day weekend.

Without a home and without a partner, named Lucky who may have died when the lodge was destroyed, the beaver and her two kits are now vulnerable to attack by dogs and predators.

Protesters say attempts by Lily to rebuild the lodge have been thwarted by city workers.

The beaver supporters are asking that the city place a moratorium on the trapping and killing of beaver until the city releases a new wildlife strategy which hopefully will include the use of humane, non-lethal methods for managing beaver in city waterways and ponds The city maintains that no beaver were living in the lodge when it was destroyed by city workers on Friday, June 29.

The city states that beaver were seen coming to the pond at Paul Lindsay Park from elsewhere.

EMC news - Parents of children who attended the Canadian Montessori Academy in Nepean were left with more questions than answers after an information session held by court-appointed receiver BDO Canada Ltd. The school – which owes more than $1.9 million to the City of Ottawa, the Canada Revenue Agency and the Business Development Bank of Canada – was put into receivership by an Ontario court on July 23.

BDO shut the school’s doors and changed the locks the next day.

BDO has also frozen the school’s bank account. John Haralovich, BDO’s vice-president, told parents at the information session on July 27 the bank balance was zero.

Right now the financial picture remains unclear. Haralovich asked parents to be patient while they sorted out the company’s assets and the total amount owed. Parents were to fill out a proof of claim for any prepaid tuition, so that BDO could get a sense of how much is owed.

“We have a pretty good sense of how much is owed to the secured creditors,”

Genealogist honoured with Queen’s jubilee medal ‘When you touch someone’s life it can really have an effect on you’ Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

The 48-year-old Bridlewood man was honoured for his work helping the families of war veterans and for his work on a project providing comprehensive records about Canadians who were killed or died during the Second World War with a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal on July 19.

“It was a great honour,” said Joynt. “My wife and my 88-year-old parents joined me for it. It was a real thrill.”

The awards were presented to 17 Ottawa-area men and women by Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor. The program was created to mark the 60th anniversary of the reign of Queen Elizabeth.

Sixty thousand medals – a number set to match the 60 year reign of the queen – will be presented to deserving Canadians in 2012.

Joynt naturally fell into a career as a researcher of people’s histories.

As a child growing up in Nepean, Joynt was fascinated by the stories told by his father, who had served in the Atlantic on an anti-submarine ship during the Second World War. “I think my biggest influence was my father’s generation,” said Joynt, who attended Earl of March Secondary School. “So many of those guys had fantastic stories. I was just in awe of them.”

His interest in people and their life stories naturally steered him to Algonquin College, where he earned a three-year museum studies diploma.

Joynt later added to his academic arsenal with a bachelor of arts degree, majoring in archaeology and North America pre-history.

For the past 23 years, he has worked for Library and Archives Canada, seven of them as an access to information and privacy analyst.

A wealth of genealogical information is available for people to access at the archives, said Joynt.

If a veteran has been deceased for more than 20 years, their information is not protected by Canada’s privacy laws and the information can R0011538789

be released to family members who present a death certificate (or proof of death) along with proof of their relationship to the deceased.

An analyst can provide a genealogical package – with third-party information exempted, of course, said Joynt – including the veteran’s service record, listing their units as well details about their training and postings.

If the person has been dead for more two decades, Joynt can also provide medical records for family members. Records from those who served with the air force often include photographs, added Joynt.

“I’ve done some family trees for people – given family names and locations – and try to solve some mysteries for people where they might not have all the answers.”

Once, one of his friends remarked that his father had been a Spitfire pilot who fought in the Battle of Britain during the Second World War. “So what happened to him?” Joynt asked his friend at the time.

“Oh, I have no idea,” he responded.

Joynt’s curiosity was piqued.

After a little digging, the analyst discovered his friend’s

father had been awarded the Air Force Cross and found the accompanying citation.

But Joynt is interested in more than just a person’s record of military service. He wants to unearth the veteran’s personal story: who they were before they joined the service, how the war changed them, what they did once they were discharged.

“Did they end up being a security guard or a member of Parliament? It’s not so much the history I’m interested in; it’s the story behind it,” said Joynt.

Over the years, Joynt has prepared many family tree histories and genealogical packages for people, both on the job and during his spare time.

“I’ve gotten to know the collection quite well at Library and Archives,” he said.

“So many times it ends in tears. It’s the most fantastic thing because many times people had no idea what their father did.

“Sometimes, when you uncover something it may explain a lot for families,” he said.

“When you touch someone’s life it can really have an effect on you.”

Joynt recently finished overseeing a Library and

Archives project compiling genealogical packages about Canadians who were killed in action or died during the Second World War. “The stories were just unbelievable that were uncovered,” he said.

EMC news - Kevin Joynt wouldn’t trade his job for the world.

For the past seven years, the access to information and privacy analyst for Library and Archives Canada has used his skills to connect people with their past.

A wealth of information sits at his fingertips stored in the archives: the military service records of Canadian soldiers who served their country since 1919, covering the first and second world wars as well as the Korean War. Last year, a lady in her 60s asked Joynt for information about her father, who had served with the Canadian Army during the Second World War. The woman had never met her dad.

Working in his spare time, Joynt used the soldier’s military records stored at the archives and traced the man’s journey during the war on a map to where he died in Ortona, Italy in December, 1943.

“It gave her closure,” said Joynt. “She never met this man who was responsible for her being here.”

The woman later sent Joynt photographs of her visiting her father’s grave in Italy as well as a thank you card.

“When you touch someone’s life it really can have an affect on you,” said Joynt. “I love my job. I couldn’t imagine working in any other government department.”

It’s all about helping people, he said.

“We have a responsibility – we have the records.”

dents, to comb through military records at the archives to prepare genealogy-plus packages, which included information from estate records: wills, personal effects, family lists and photographs.

Sometimes, analysts discovered intimate details of a soldier’s life, such as a photograph of a girlfriend tucked away in a paybook.

“The stories were just unbelievable that were uncovered,” he said. “It was really like an archaeological investigation, but dealing with documents.”

Every day was like a history lesson, said Joynt.

“It was such an insight into the personal lives of people,” he said. “You’d read letters from mothers to sons.”

Fabien Lengellé, director general of content access branch at Library and Archives Canada, said the work was done using the library’s own funds.

“We are currently looking at the best way to digitize this information and make it broadly available to our many client communities, such as genealogists, historians, students, etc.,” he wrote in an email.

The archives also maintains a list of Canada’s war dead, a list of the 44,093 service people who lost their lives during the Second World War, available online at www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/wardead/001056-100.01-e.php.

The database provides thumbnail sketches of a veteran’s rank, date of birth, unit, as well as the names of next of kin.

Anyone interested in accessing the records of family members who served in the Second World War can write a request to Library and Archives Canada, 395 Wellington St., K1A 0N4.

SERVING KANATA NORTH

Jennifer McIntosh

City Councillor, Kanata North EMERALD ASH BORER IS IN OUR COMMUNITIES If you have a true ash tree (fraxinus genus) it is vulnerable to being killed by the emerald ash borer. Those on your property, near the street, are likely on City property and the City will look after either removing or injecting them with TreeAzin. If the tree is on your property (including private roadways) then it is your responsibility to either treat it or remove it if it dies.

In the east part of Ottawa the trees are quickly dying while in our area it is just starting. Unfortunately it moves quickly, killing the tree from the top down and no tree is spared. Treatments need to be done every 2 years in early summer. Next year is likely the last opportunity to save your trees.

For information, go to http://www.ottawa.ca/en/env_water/tlg/trees/ preservation/eab/ where the City has provided more details. If you click on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Injectionâ&#x20AC;? at the left of that web page you will find information on treatment options. At the bottom of that page are links to 4 companies that provide injections.

On some streets residents are getting together to have all of their ash trees injected at one time, reducing the overall costs. The City has tagged those trees that they are injecting. If there is a City ash in front of your home or in your nearby park that is not tagged you can call 311 to find out if they plan to treat it or remove it. If it is not on the treatment list you can adopt it and provide the injections yourself. Council approved an additional million dollars to treat more trees but that will still only deal with 10-15% of those on City property, so your help would be much appreciated.

SAFETY DURING DROUGHT As well as disposing of cigarettes responsibly, (please do not throw them out the window or onto the street or lawns) safety with your BBQ is important. The Fire Department has provided this information:

EMC news - Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re staring at the jumble of letters on the page and silently praying that the teacher wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pick you.

Then she taps your shoulder.

A group of would-be public school board principals at the Confederation Education Centre got to walk a mile in the shoes of a student with a learning disability during a workshop on July 26. The group of educators was led by Learning Disabilities Association of Ottawa-Carletonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director Linda Barbetta, who spent an hour running the group through exercises to learn what it feeels like trying to do regular coursework while struggling to make sense of the material. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You will have a learning disability for 15 to 20 minutes,â&#x20AC;? Barbetta told the group at the beginning of the workshop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very emotional for some people. I have had some people burst into tears or walk out. So do what you have to do.â&#x20AC;?

According to the Ministry of Education of Ontario, 43 per cent of children identified with special needs have learning disabilities. Despite that, Barbetta said they are offered the least amount of resources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually they are offered a consult with a resource specialist and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenging because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invisible and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real character judgment.

learning disability are lazy or stupid.â&#x20AC;?

Aside from the workshops, Barbetta holds one-on-one sessions for parents. There is also a day camp called the Sunshine Day Camp. She has also done some work with the city, teaching different departments how to accommodate employees with learning disabilities.

It focuses on the teaching of social skills through discussion, modeling, and role-playing. Social skills are reinforced through a series of structured, non-competitive and activities like arts and crafts, music and sports.

The learning disabilities association, located near the McNabb Recreation Centre, gets funding from the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trillium Foundation and Barbetta said she has made 78 presentations since April 2011.

Part of Barbettaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job is to teach parents and children to advocate for accommodation, so they have the tools to succeed in school.

Barbettaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has three children, all of whom have some form of learning disability and she said she teaches them how to advocate so they can come up with their own blueprint for learning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My daughter is 17 and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go into her science class to make sure they are doing what they need to,â&#x20AC;?

Barbettaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest son said his eyes see words one way and his brain sees them another. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mom, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know which one to trust,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Barbetta said.

In a passage that has type jumbled across the page, Barbetta asked the educators to read the work aloud. The letters are sometimes backwards and the type is grouped together in irregular patterns.

For someone with dyslexia this is the norm.

Barbetta mimicked a teacher. When one of the participants was too slow, she let them know. If they got the wording wrong, she chastised them saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are we reading the same thing?â&#x20AC;?

Trying to decode the text took up so much energy that there was little time or effort left to comprehend the story.

The next exercise showed a series of unintelligible characters that disappeared quickly as participants tried to copy them down with their nondominant hand. All of the participants focused their energy on copying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If that had been a math problem and you needed to copy it and find an answer you could see how difficult that

would be,â&#x20AC;? Barbetta said.

The next exercise was a math problem with a series of numbers on three different lines. Barbetta would give addition and subtraction instructions by calling out the placement of numbers in the three lines. After a few numbers, most participants were lost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our short-term memory can only take seven items at a time. These kids for the most part have poor short-term memory so they are lost,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The last exercise used a series of shapes to make a square. None of the 20-plus participants were able to turn the pieces of construction paper into the shape required.

The exercise left most feeling anxious and ready to give up, something Barbetta said is common. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These kids are incredibly anxious all day at school just trying to get by,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You had a learning disability for 20 minutes. They have it all day, every day.â&#x20AC;?

While testing for most learning disabilities doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take place until Grade 3 or later, Barbetta said it needs to happen earlier.

She said a typical child with a learning disability will not read aloud if they can help it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They hate pop quizzes and spontaneous exercises. They need time to process things,â&#x20AC;?

Barbetta said.

She added the school system needs to do more to work with these children who need help.

Data cowboys taking cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free info into their own hands Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Some living in Ottawa had a hard time swallowing the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line that more riders would have access to the new LRT line by shifting a stop to the Rideau Centre and removing the stationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elgin Street entrance.

The news came out this spring and set off a storm of criticism from people who said the move would cut off easy access for people in the east end of Centretown near city hall.

But would you believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing if Jason White told you so?

Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a household one, but the city is hoping he is only the first of many citizen experts who can crunch city data and analyze decisions made around the council horseshoe.

Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detailed analysis of OC Transpo stop locations caught the eye of a few city managers during Ottawa Transit Data Day on June 2. Now, the IT department is planning a contest geared towards encouraging other researchers to take a cue from White and analyze public data - not just take the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see people use the data set like that,â&#x20AC;? said Rob Giggey, manager of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open data project.

The initiative involves creating information files or â&#x20AC;&#x153;data setsâ&#x20AC;? that can be run through computer programs to make maps, visualizations or applications that allow people to use the information or to reveal an analysis. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s data catalogue includes everything from the location of basketball courts to trucks routes, drinking water quality or bus stop locations, the data White used. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It kind of reminded us that there is a way to highlight this kind of work,â&#x20AC;? Giggey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that (White) created an interesting and useful analysis from a data set we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even expect â&#x20AC;Ś (shows) that people can create things that have great benefit from in ways that we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even expecting.â&#x20AC;?

PEOPLE CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T FLY

White lives in Mechanicsville but takes the bus to work at Kanataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technology park every day. So naturally, when he was trying to decide on a topic for his engineering management masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree project, his mind was spinning with all things OC Transpo.

Looking at city reports that draw perfect circles around areas staff say would take 10 minutes to walk to a transit from, White thought: â&#x20AC;&#x153;But people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fly.â&#x20AC;?

While a point in the circle might show the required standard aerial distance of 800 metres from a transit station to show how many people are in the catchment area, people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fly across highways or

Mechanicsville resident Jason White is the first of what some staffers at the city are hoping is a new breed of tech-savvy informed citizens who use free open data to fact check the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims. White analyzed how far people have to walk to reach a bus stop. rivers and they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always cut through blocks of buildings. While the city says anyone who lives in the circle can walk to the transit station in around 10 minutes, White thought that there must be a bunch of people who would have no way to access the station at all, even it they live within the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circle.

He set out to mash together census population data, info on the length of roadways from the federal government, detailed population information from Statistics Canada and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general transit data feed with stop locations. In fact, he did this for the 10 largest cities in Canada that provide the transit data freely.

NOT SO CLOSE

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a frequent refrain at city hall: OC Transpoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service is better than the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standard of providing service to 95 per cent of residents within a convenient walking distance (five minutes during rush hour and 10 minutes at other times).

White takes the bus and like many OC Transpo riders, thought: â&#x20AC;&#x153;How do they get that number?â&#x20AC;?

Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s analysis shows that the city â&#x20AC;&#x153;cherry picksâ&#x20AC;? how it presents that statistic by reducing the number of geographical areas included below the standards set by the American Public Transportation Association.

But Ottawa still does a good job, White said. Coverage of transit-supported areas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; areas dense enough to meet the standard for access to bus service â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in Ottawa is about 83.3 per cent, White found â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the second highest coverage in his top 10, behind Edmonton.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;over 95 per centâ&#x20AC;? figure might look impressive, but if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reflect the reality of what riders experience every day, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win OC Transpo many fans, White said.

Ideally, White said he would like his research to influence how decisions are made at OC Transpo and city hall.

It looks like that might be the case.

OC Transpo has been working on setting up a more detailed model to use when determining how far away people are from a bus stop, said OC Transpo technology manager Robert Delage, and Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research reignited interest in the initiative.

The transit agency is waiting on information about which pedestrian and cycling routes are winter maintained so it can replicate an analysis similar to Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, but for all seasons.

Giggey said he hopes more academic researchers will come out of the woodwork af-

ter seeing Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s analysis and the impact itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having at city hall. There is already another PhD student working with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open data and hopefully more research will be encouraged by the sequel to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open data contest, set to take place in late autumn.

Last time, it was all about smart phone â&#x20AC;&#x153;appsâ&#x20AC;? or applications, such as the popular â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s My Bus?â&#x20AC;? locator.

This time, Giggey hopes to see more graphs and research papers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the end, the result can be that someone creates a graph or a visual and then other people can better understand an issue,â&#x20AC;? Giggey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more informed the residents are, the more likely you are to get at a better solution in the end.â&#x20AC;?

The Canadian Montessori Academy was put into receivership by an Ontario court on July 23. The school owes more than $1.9 million to various organizations.

School closing leaves parents scrambling for alternatives Continued from page 14

Having the doors close with no notice left some parents scrambling for school and daycare alternatives. Future Scholars Montessori Academy in the Brookfield area posted flyers on the parents cars while they were in the July 27 meeting.

One parent at the information session asked if the de Mel family – Sherie, Sabena and Lester – who owned the school, would have their personal assets frozen.

Haralovich said BDO is investigating the school’s finances but there is no current evidence of fraud or anything to support freezing the family’s assets.

As parent Patrick Chen walked out with his 18month-old son’s belongings, he said his son was happy at the school and despite the situation, the de Mels were great educators.

“Maybe they didn’t have a great financial background,” he said.

Jeffrey Charter, whose child was in the elementary school program for two years said in an email that he was sorry to see the community lose the school as a resource.

“I can say without reservation that they made the time my child spent there the most rewarding,” he said. “The care and attention was above and beyond the normal school system could have provided.”

Charter, who hadn’t prepaid tuition for the upcoming school, said he felt for families that invested in the future of the school.

“I hope that a proper resolution can be found,” he said.

Jackie Properzi, whose two-year-old son Nico was expelled from the school after she started questioning the teachers’ qualifications and safety at the school, said she is owed $17,000. Properzi called on local politicians to advocate for the parents and prevent the same kind of thing happening at another school.

said, adding a grandfather exemption clause under the Day Nurseries Act is what allowed the Tiny Tots Montessori daycare to continue to operate for as long as it did.

“We need to get rid of that exemption,” she said.

David Salmanca, who has since moved his three-yearold to the Kanata Montessori School, said it wasn’t about the money.

“I lost about $4,000. I have lost that much in a day on the stock market,” he said. “My first concern is my child’s safety.”

Salamanca and Properzi, along with Sylvia Robbins, have been sharing information with other parents for months about the school’s financial background and their concerns about the safety of the school building and the qualifications of the teachers.

A marketing plan for the property was slated to be heard by a judge in the week following the information session. Haralovich said BDO will continue to investigate to get a clear picture of the finances.

The receiver will use the school’s former staff to help paint the most accurate picture. Staff will continue to draw a salary while helping BDO, but Haralovich didn’t say how long they would be on the company’s payroll.

No one looked forward to potato bug day MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories like a black cloud at the head of the table. Mother said we would leave cleaning up the kitchen so that we could get out to the potato field before the hot sun was at its cruelest.

We followed Father to the drive shed where seven little tin cans were lined up on a plank like soldiers. Father took the old battered coal-oil can and filled each tin half full with coal-oil and we headed out, down the hill behind the

R0011531387

barn and the silo, each of us with our own ammunition to get rid of the despised potato bugs.

The potato patch was about twice the size of our garden.

We were big potato eaters.

Father expected them fried for breakfast, creamed for lunch at noon and if there were any left over, fried with bacon fat and onions for supper.

We could end up with many bags in the cellar if we were lucky. And of course, there wasn’t a smidgen wasted either. The peels were fed to the pigs and it wasn’t unusual for Mother to barter in Renfrew for supplies either.

A bag of potatoes could mean more than two kilograms of sugar, a bag of green tea and even a few yards of print from Briscoe’s General Store. So it was important that we save the crop from the potato bugs.

It was no easy job picking off the bugs. There were no gloves to protect your fingers.

The only time I ever saw a pair of rubber gloves was when old Dr. Murphy took out my tonsils. No, you took a hold of the potato bug between your thumb and finger and pulled it off the leaf, and popped it into the tin of coal oil.

We went up and down the rows of potatoes, covered from head to toe to keep off the mosquitoes and the flies, with sweat pouring down our

When we finished the entire patch, we went into the summer kitchen and stripped down to our underwear and Mother would have lined up seven wash basins, using the pot she used for bleaching the tea towels. With hot water from the reservoir, we scrubbed our hands until they were red and washed any other part of our body we could get at without being completely naked.

It took the better part of the evening before Father got rid of the scowl on his face and not before he could be heard muttering to himself in German, which Audrey said were swear words, which he wouldn’t dare say in English in front of Mother.

backs. We wore straw hats and gum rubbers.

If we were lucky and worked quickly we could finish the whole patch in the better part of a day. We didn’t even stop for lunch, so anxious were we to finish the job and you wouldn’t dare speak to Father unless it was something very important. He hated the job so much, he was in vile humour most of the day, which was very unusual

If we were lucky, the potato bugs were finished for the year. I often wondered if they died a slow and agonizing death in the coal oil. As I was going through a very religious spell in my young life at the time, I said a silent prayer that there was a potato bug heaven where they would find lots of potato plants to eat and where they could escape their coal oil deaths.

I knew in my heart, Father would feel very differently about them, and if he prayed, it would be that we had seen the last of them for another year.

ather was not going to be bitten twice. Nosir-eee.

It sounded like a good idea the year before when he saw the ad in a farm magazine. It was guaranteeing an easy way to kill potato bugs and he sent off $2 for the latest invention which was going to put an end to one of the most hated jobs on the farm.

What arrived were two pieces of small flat board about 10 centimetres square and instructions to put the potato bug on one piece and slam it dead with the other. Of course, you had to pick off the bug first.

Father knew he had been had, as he chucked the two pieces of wood into the Findlay Oval and watched his two dollars go up in smoke.

He wasn’t going to fall for something like that again - he may have only had a junior fourth-level education, but knew a crooked deal when he saw one.

Now, Father loved farming. He loved his land and he loved his livestock, but what he couldn’t abide was picking off potato bugs. Yet it was a job that had to be done if we were ever to realize a good crop of potatoes for winter.

So this time of year, when the plants were high, filled with blossoms and in a few weeks ready to be dug up for the new potatoes, we could also see hundreds of miserable little bugs eating to their hearts content on what would surely be the end of our crop and a disaster if left alone.

We called it ‘potato bug day’ and Emerson said you looked forward to it as much as you looked forward to a trip into Renfrew to get a tooth pulled. We hated the job with a passion and with Father lamenting about it, didn’t make it any easier.

The entire family got into the job, we five children, Mother and Father. We were told the night before, just before we went to bed and it was enough to keep you tossing and turning most of the night.

Of course, my brother Emerson didn’t make the job any easier for me when he told me one of the Kallies boys got rabies from potato bugs. My sister Audrey said to pay him no heed - it was impossible to get rabies from a potato bug.

This greatly put my mind at ease. Audrey, 11 years older than I was, was very clever.

At breakfast, Father sat

Try this tempting trio of summer recipes

T

R0011531330

his week I’m passing along three recipes that are all worth trying.

The first is for a low-calorie creamy topping that you can use instead of whipping cream on fresh fruit, crepes or cake.

Made with cottage cheese and flavoured with wine, this can be sweetened with either sugar or a sugar substitute.

With raspberries in season, I serve this topping over crepes filled with fresh berries. When we run out of crepes, I spread it on thick slices of toasted homemade bread then top that with raspberries. You might want to try the same idea with fresh peaches for a Sunday brunch treat.

Use a blender if you have one to make this rather than an electric mixer. The blades of the blender break up the lumps of cottage cheese so that the topping ends up almost as smooth as whipped cream.

The second recipe is for a quick, tasty salad dressing that goes well on any green salad.

Made with tomato juice and flavoured with tarragon, this has a slightly sweet flavour. It can also be made with a sugar substitute if you wish. If you

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff don’t have any tarragon, you can substitute basil.

The last recipe is for a marinade that you can use with fresh salmon, pork chops or chicken. After marinating, they can be barbecued or baked in the oven.

This recipe calls for fresh ginger, but powdered ginger can also be used. The soy sauce gives additional flavour as well as colour.

CREAMY FRUIT TOPPING

• 1 cup cottage cheese • 1/4 cup white wine • 2 to 4 tbsp. milk • 1 tbsp. or more of white sugar TOMATO TARRAGON SALAD DRESSING

• 1/2 cup tomato juice • 2 tbsp. lemon juice • 1/2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce • 3 tbsp. vegetable oil • 1/4 tsp. dry mustard

• 1 tbsp. white sugar • 1 tsp. tarragon or basil Combine all the ingredients in a small jar, close the lid tightly, then shake. Refrigerate for a couple of hours to let the flavours blend. Shake again just before using.

GINGER SOY MARINADE

• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped • 1 tsp. grated fresh ginger • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil • 1 tbsp. soy sauce • 3 tbsp. sherry • 2 sliced green onions Combine all the ingredients. To use, arrange the fish or meat in a single layer in a shallow glass or ceramic dish.

Pour the marinade over, turning each piece to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about two hours. Drain and discard the marinade before cooking the meat.

Corner store booze might not be worth it: store owner laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Independent convenience stores might not be able to afford changes need to sell wine and beer, says one Ottawa store owner, even if the government agreed with a petition from a convenience store lobbying group.

On July 25, the Ontario Convenience Stores Association took a petition with 112,500 names collected from 220 Ontario communities to the provincial government.

The practice of limiting alcohol sales to LCBO stores and a select number of producerretailers like Wine Rack and the Beer Store is “archaic,” the OCSA said.

The issue has long been debated in Ontario, but despite some apparently strong support for the petition, at least one Ottawa convenience store owner was hesitant.

Ayoub’s Mini Mart has been a family business in Sandy Hill for around 30 years, but just reopened on July 1 after three years of rebuilding after a major fire. Being able to sell wine and beer might help attract people back to the store, said owner Nouha Chahine.

“Liquor is too much, whiskey and all that. Just the beer and wine that people use every day,” Chahine said. “Of course, it would be good and convenient for everybody.”

But she doesn’t think it will happen. The government won’t agree to the change anyways, Chahine said. Even if it was permitted, it would be a heavy responsibility and an additional cost to change the configuration of the store.

Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak said he is open to the debate, but a spokesperson for Premier Dalton McGuinty said there is no need for change.

“This government believes that Ontarians are well served by the current retail system for beverage alcohol,” said Aly Vitunski, spokeswoman for Finance Minister Dwight Duncan.

Insurance would really be the nail in the coffin, Chahine said. Ayoub’s stopped selling cigarettes several years ago after a series of thefts. Insurance rates kept going up and she decided it wasn’t worth the hassle or cost to sell tobacco.

While she might give wine and beer sales a try if it was permitted, Chahine said she could see the same situation arising.

Still, it might prop up sales for the independent store, Chahine said.

“We’ve been struggling just to make a living,” she said.

Mac’s Convenience Stores, one of the largest brands in Ottawa with 40 outlets in the urban area alone, is strongly in favour of beer and wine sales in its stores.

“Absolutely, yes we would support this,” said Bruce Watson, director of customer relations and government compliance for Mac’s. “The majority of Ontario residents would like to see this type of access.”

Potential challenges related to retrofitting stores, the increased risk of theft and insurance rates to match are not so much of a concern for Mac’s, Watson said.

“I don’t see challenges as much as opportunities,” he said.

If the government allowed it, individual Mac’s store operators could decide if it would be worth it for them to carry wine and beer. Eventually adding spirits is a debate Mac’s would be open to in the future, Watson added. An Ottawa resident himself, Watson said he can cross over to Quebec and see alcohol being sold in convenience stores there, including Couche-Tard outlets, the parent company of Mac’s.

Alcohol is seen as a strong product in the Quebec stores, Watson said. But the stores don’t necessarily make a lot of money of the booze itself, he said. It’s more about getting people into the stores more frequently, which encourages them to buy additional products with higher profit margins, like a bag of chips to go with their beer.

Healthy crowds delight Herbfest vendors, organizers John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

EMC Lifestyle - Herbfest has once again proven it is one of the area’s top-drawing summer events.

At least 3,000 people streamed to the Herb Garden at the edge of West Carleton Sunday, July 29, to take in the plants, information sessions, music and many vendors offering a variety of healthy living products and services.

Herb Garden co-owner Gerry Bedard was once again delighted with the response to Herbfest, which is in its 17th year.

“It was awesome to see how well-received this is with the public,” he said.

As of noon, 1,600 people had streamed through the gates, which translated into about 3,000 visitors by day’s end.

That has become the norm for the event especially if the weather is favourable, as it was Sunday, noted Bedard.

He credited the fact Herbfest is a family event for a major part of its success.

“There are things here for the kids, adults, all ages,” he said.

Bedard was delighted in how well the gardening and cooking information sessions by author Ellie Topp and other experts were attended.

VENDORS

He said it was also gratifying to see the large crowd show so much interest in the more than 100 area vendors and artisans, including 20 new ones, who were showing off their wares at Herbfest.

One of those new vendors, Dale Horeczy of Frankville’s Kricklewood Farm, said he enjoyed talking to Herbfest patrons.

Most were knowledgeable about nutrition and obviously had sophisticated palates, he

said.

“It is amazing,” said Horeczy, who runs the farm with Brad Daily. “Everyone seems to be in a good mood … and looking for new alternatives when it comes to healthy eating.”

Kricklewood Farm produces a variety of products, from goat milk and cheese to candles and folk art, but Horeczy was focusing on the health benefits of sunflowers at his Herbfest booth.

Organic cold pressed sunflower oil is great for salads and for drizzling over pasta and potatoes, he said.

He said this year’s crop could do with some more rain, but is surviving because sunflowers are drought-resistant.

Another enthusiastic firsttime vendor was Gloria Glockling of Gloria’s Fresh Belgian Waffles, who helped organize the event this year.

She said she enjoyed the atmosphere of Herbfest and friendliness of the crowds.

And it was good for business.

“It was non-stop,” she said, noting she had to send her husband away for more waffle dough when they ran out.

LUCAS HANEMAN

Also a big hit at Herbfest was up-and-coming guitarist Lucas Haneman and his band Go Long (!).

Haneman, who has won several awards and wowed crowds at Bluesfest, has been playing Herbfest for eight years.

Bedard said the jazz guitarist might become too big for small venues such as Herbfest.

“He’s up there with the area’s best musicians,” he said.

However, Haneman promised the large crowd at the end of his set that he’d be back again next year.

Go Long (!) singer Danielle Allard praised the crowd

R0011492744

- p r e s e n t s -

Ot ta w a

www.midwaymagic.ca

for its welcoming and enthusiastic response to their music and noted the venue was a refreshing change from the bar scene.

FAIRY DANCERS

Other special attractions at the Herbfest were three fairy dancers choreographed by Ottawa’s Natasha Royka; the chef cook-off featuring Daniel Mongeon of Brut Cantina Sociale, Chris Archer of Tennessy Willems Pizza Joint and Chef Jason Laurin of Essence Catering; Carleton Place’s Korny Klowns with their balloon animals and air-brushed tattoos; face-painter Brittany McCullough; and musical guests the Tine Rufaro Marimba Band, Sangit Surabhi and The Ottawa Valley Special.

The only down side to the event was the effect of this summer’s drought, which has left some of the display gardens in “bad shape.”

However, a notice by George and Gerry Bedard promises that after a re-organization, “next year we hope to be beautiful once again.”

The next major event at the Herb Garden is the Company of Fools Comedy Shakespeare Troupe’s production of Henry V on Aug. 16.

Photos by John Carter

Three fairies, members of Ottawa’s Natasha Royka Movement Studio, attracted a great deal of attention as they flitted among the Herbfest crowds and out into the herb garden with dance moves choreographed by Royka herself.

The Kanata-based band Go Long (!) was a big hit at Herbfest.

National pride runs high at Canada House Brian McNair

mcnair@durhamregion.com

EMC sports - It’s not like beer is the most important thing in the world to me – I really do love my wife and kids more – but it was still nice to see Canadian being served at Canada House in London Thursday, July 26.

It was a wildly Canadian atmosphere, after all, chock-full of optimism on the outskirts of Trafalgar Square and with the official opening of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games looming just over a day away.

And while it was nice to see such dignitaries as Marcel Aubut and Dick Pound in attendance, it probably meant even more to the few 2012 Olympians on hand to see the likes of Alexandre Bilodeau and Catriona Le May Doan.

It’s people like them, after all, who are inspiring to the current crop of Olympians – or at least they should be considering both are Winter Olympic champions.

And it sure was interesting to hear Bilodeau refer to Whitby’s Kelita Zupancic during

CLEARANCE

his brief speech.

It was her smile leading up to her flight that caught his eye, a smile that for him lit up a country during the 2010 Games in Vancouver when he captured gold in the men’s moguls.

A training partner of Zupanic’s in Montreal, where she now lives and trains with the national judo team, Bilodeau loves to see the athletes keeping it fun in the midst of all the blood, sweat and tears.

“When you enjoy it and have a smile, that’s the best place to

perform, the best place to be in your mind,” he said. “It’s hard to do. I think it’s important to like what we do still. Even though it’s the Games, just enjoy it.”

Zupancic has been singularly focused on the task for countless years, dating back to when she was nine and saw her now-coach Nicolas Gill win a silver medal at the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia.

But, as obvious as that killer look is in her eyes, it’s nice also to see the glint.

Cheers to that, mate.

The task to feed the athletes and staff in the village, which during peak time will see some 60,000 meals served in 24 hours, has been led by catering manager Mari Holloway, who’s been on the job for twoand-a-half years leading up – and much of the 24/7 in which the hall is now open.

“For the athletes, they see food as fuel, so for us it’s important that we have the main components of an athlete’s diet, and that’s carbohydrates and plain protein foods, so we’ve worked a great deal with the athletes’ committee and hence the concept here works extremely well,” she says.

EMC sports - There are few things more Canadian than hockey and moose, and both can be easily spotted outside Team Canada’s residence within the Olympic Village.

A big red moose statue stands proudly – and permanently throughout the 2012 Olympics – just outside the doorway of Canada’s 11-floor building that is decorated with flags and huge C-A-N-A-D-A letters running down the middle-floor balconies.

Off to the side are a couple of hockey nets, which were being put to good use during a media tour of the village on Thursday, July 26.

Among the players was Thomas Gossland, a Vancouver swimmer who doesn’t normally play the game, but was having a blast nonetheless as he gears up for his 4x100-metre freestyle relay race on Sunday.

“I don’t know who brought them, but I just saw the nets and a few hours later there were sticks out,” Gossland said during a brief break in the action.

“It’s awesome,” he said when asked his impression of the village so far, two days into his visit. “It was really overwhelming to come here. I’ve never been to a Games environment before, but everything in Canada House from what I can see is set up great, and the dining hall is huge. It’s pretty overwhelming. I’ve already been to the aquatic centre and it’s gi-normous. It’s pretty exciting too.”

The village as a whole is a remarkable feat of planning and engineering, the culmination of a process that began shortly after London learned of its successful bid some seven years ago.

The idea is to provide all the comforts of home, including entertainment spots, a recre-

Thirteen year old headed to tennis nationals at Mont Tremblant A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary grad hopes to finish in the tournament’s top 16 Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC sports - Thirteenyear-old Alexander Mironov is set to represent Ontario in the under-14 junior tennis nationals this month.

The A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School graduate will be heading to Mont Tremblant, Que. from Aug. 6 to 12, to compete in his fourth nationals competition.

“I hope I might be seeded,” said the Stittsville resident, adding he hopes to finish in the top 16 players.

As of June 22, Alexander was ranked seventh in Ontario and 10th in Canada in the boys under-14 category.

“I just enjoy the game, the challenge, the competition,” he said. “I just like being good at something.”

Alexander’s bedroom is filled with records of his ac-

complishments. His more than 35 trophies, awards, medals and plaques line the shelves of a dresser.

KLASSIC

Alexander played the Kanata Klassic last month, winning his first match 6-2, 7-5. He lost to the fifth seed, Nicolas Vincent, 6-1, 7-5.

In his first doubles match with Sasha Krishna, the two won 6-2, 6-2. They won 6-3, 6-3 in their second match, and lost 6-1, 6-1 in their third.

A number of the players he went up against were in their

20s, said Alexander’s father, Vladimir.

“I think that’s he’s progressing very well,” said his Vladimir, who goes out to watch his son’s matches.

“I’m so surprised sometimes; he’s so strong,” said Alexander’s mother Ludmila, who watches her son’s out of town games. “It’s an emotional sport.”

Alexander, who will be attending Grade 9 at South Carleton High School this

fall, first started playing tennis at age five.

“My parents got me into it,” he said, adding they would take him to the park to bat the ball back and forth.

He began training to compete at age eight, and hasn’t looked back since. Alexander trains five to six times a week in the summer and two to three times a week in the winter.

“I like individual sports more than team sports,” said

Alexander, who used to also play competitive soccer. “I just like relying on myself instead of other people.”

Alexander, who will turn 14 in September, trains at Carleton University.

He’s competed in a number of tournaments; his total victories versus defeats since 2009 come in at 113-56.

“I just want to keep training,” said Alexander.

“I want to keep getting better.”

Ottawa Fury storm to W-League Championship Eddie Rwema

eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC sports – After four trips to the finals over the past 13 years, the Ottawa Fury won their first-ever W-League Championship at Algonquin College Soccer Complex on Sunday, July 29.

Nepean native Jasmine Phillips stopped two penalty kicks as the Fury went on to beat the Pali Blues, a team that went undefeated during the regular season, 4-3 on penalty kicks.

The game went into extra time with the teams tied 1-1.

The Blues Nikki Washington scored two minutes into the first half, with Pali holding Ottawa off the scoreboard until the final seconds of the second half when the Fury’s Melissa Busque pounced on a rebound to tie the game.

The Fury’s victory capped a remarkable career for homegrown star Phillips who got her start with the Fury’s youth development program.

“It feels amazing. We knew that there was a long history of us not quite getting there and today we really wanted to get there,” said Phillips, minutes after making two diving saves to allow the Fury to lift their first W-League title.

“It took us a long time to do it but we did it and we are really happy with our performance. It is truly a great feeling,” she said.

Playing in front of a home crowd, the Fury controlled the play for most of the match, but didn’t manage to generate good scoring opportunities.

The Ottawa Fury women’s soccer team celebrates after winning the W-League Championship for the first time ever at Algonquin College Soccer Complex on Sunday, July 29.

The Fury’s best opportunity in the first half came when Mallory Outerbridge failed to score on an open net and hit the post.

Fury head coach Dom Oliveri admitted his team was a bit nervous in the opening

minutes of the game, but he told his players to keep fighting.

He said winning the title was a great feeling.

“We have been working towards this goal for about 10 years now. Anytime you

can win a championship it’s a great day for the club,” said Oliveri.

The Blues came into Sunday’s game looking to win their third W-League title and

they posed constant threat to the Fury’s defence.

“They are a great team.

Lot’s of quality players and they played a great game as well. All credit to Pali Blues.

It was such a tough fight,” said Oliveri.

Fury team owner John Pugh said his team was one of the best W-League clubs that had never won the championship.

That statistic no longer applies, he said.

“I am glad that stat doesn’t exist anymore. Somebody else now owns that stat and I am happy that they own it and not us,” said Pugh.

Winning after trailing for most of the game was unbelievable, he said.

“It’s been a long time coming. We have been in the final four so many times. This was the fourth time in the final, and even then we were two minutes away from going home with our hands empty,” said Pugh.

Barrhaven native Gillian Bagott who came on, as a substitute in the second half, was also happy with the win.

“It is pretty an unreal and unforgettable feeling and once in a lifetime kind of thing,” said Bagott.

“To have the final four in our hometown and to win too for the first time is just a surreal feeling. All of our hard work has paid off. We deserve it.”

56 seconds that altered an officer’s life forever Syd Gravel documents his shooting of an unarmed suspect in new book EMC news – Const. Silvio “Syd” Gravel, then 34, was on patrol with a new recruit in Ottawa’s Ledbury-Heron Gate area early one morning some 25 years ago.

The radio crackled and the familiar voice of the dispatcher cut through the darkness. It’s a 10/42, meaning an armed robbery.

Nothing more is said regarding the type of weapon involved. Gun? Knife? Baseball bat? Police on the street that morning would have no idea.

It is one of the many changes that would occur as a result of the deadly events that followed.

On one level it didn’t matter.

Police went into every situation assuming the worst. That was their best form of protection.

Assume it was a gun. Let the icy facts lower the intensity, as they say.

Seconds after the call a car comes flying over the railroad tracks ahead, sparks spinning off like fireworks. All four wheels skid onto a major artery. Gravel asks dispatch for a description of the car and turns on the lights and siren.

If nothing else these clowns will face reckless driving charges. Turns out it’s a match with the getaway car. Gravel looks over at the new recruit, and pronounces in no uncertain terms that the situation is grave.

The car pulls over just as dispatch begins to describe the suspects. The driver gets out and walks toward Gravel’s patrol car. He hears the description and races back to the getaway car and speeds off.

Gravel is in pursuit and watches as the car crosses through two yards, hits two cars along the way, bursts through a fence and finally comes to a halt after slamming into a third car.

The passenger, a troubled young man mixed up in drugs and let out recently after serving a spell for another armed robbery, climbs out of the car.

His final few seconds on the planet are spent shirtless, on top of the crumpled car.

“Show your hands,” Gravel shouts over and over again, one hand on the handle of his gun.

“Show your hands.”

The suspect was facing away from Gravel, but turned slightly toward him and reached into

his pants near the crotch area.

Gravel pulled the trigger and he went down.

Meanwhile, the driver was screaming his head off. Someone walking a dog at the ungodly hour of 4 a.m. entered the scene. The world started working its fingers around Gravel’s head.

The passenger got up again.

Because he shot from the hip, Gravel figured he’d missed the passenger. The young man dropped again, ensuring he would never meet the son growing in his girlfriend’s belly.

Gravel was busy ordering the driver onto the ground, the dog walker to back off, the lady in the housecoat on her front porch asking “What’s going on?” to get back inside. But then cops seemed to appear out of nowhere and fill the location with flashing lights and security.

A few more seconds passed before it was time to pull the hand out of the dead man’s pants.

Apparently he had money shoved down there, maybe wanted to get rid of it. There was no gun. No knife. No baseball bat. Nothing that spoke “armed robbery.”

“I just shot somebody that has no gun,” Gravel said in the comforts of his Fitzroy Harbour home, a quarter of a century later.

The effects of that moment still haunt him from time to time. He still has trouble making decisions every once in a while, for instance. This, to a 31-year veteran who retired four years ago, who rose to the rank of staff sergeant, who has been recognized with several national and international awards, and who has been a keynote speaker and guest lecture on the topic of police trauma.

Gravel asked that the victim’s name not be published.

“He was from a good family who still has connections in the area,” he said.

The victim’s father even approached Gravel at one point, asked if he was OK. 56 SECONDS

When he tells the story his audience is often surprised to learn that it all happened in just 56 seconds.

Hence the name of his soonto-be published 70-page book

Syd Gravel is under considerably less stress these days then when he worked the streets of Ottawa as a cop. Gravel shares one particularly traumatic experience in his book 56 Seconds. on the topic, which goes far beyond the incident to details of symptoms to look for in a cop suffering from post-traumatic stress, coping mechanisms and more. The event is included in the book as a means of building credibility with officers who’ve had a similar experience.

He explained, with some bitterness, that it took six years for the experts to examine the case and have all their questions answered. He would like the situation to be reversed, where they had 56 seconds to study the incident and he had six years to decide whether or not to shoot.

“It must be a pretty complex decision if it takes six years to get all their questions answered,” he said.

Along with dispatchers now expected to provide details on weapons used in armed robberies, the prevalent attitude that said cops should spend the next night at a bar then get on with the job is a thing of the past.

“The idea that you can buck up and take the heat – that’s the job, just do it – all of a sudden

becomes a lot harder,” he said.

“You’ve gotta talk about it.”

Cops are trained to be professionals, to examine facts, to think analytically. They are not trained to share their emotions.

Which is why there was some hesitation when Gravel was quietly approached by another officer soon after the incident, one he would later learn was involved in another shooting, and asked if everything was all right, if he was drinking a little more, if he needed someone to chat with.

Gravel said everything was fine. But it wasn’t, and he knew it.

That’s when a Dr. Pierre Turgeon from the University of Ottawa recruited him and other police offices involved in traumatic shootings. The group would meet to share their experiences. They would soon form Robin’s Blue Circle – a post-shooting trauma team that assists officers in working their way through the trauma of death or near-death work related incidents. Gravel has assisted over 40 officers who

second book. Workplace Diversity: How to Get it Right is not about the altruistic aspirations of multiculturalism. It lays out how his award-winning recruitment program at the Ottawa police department can be translated to the private sector.

It is a pragmatic strategy that ends with concrete results.

Gravel said if a company digs through its existing workforce to find elements of diversity, it can then focus on bringing in missing elements. In the end, he said, it’s about meeting customer expectations. Which will translate into success, he said.

Writing the book hasn’t been easy on Gravel. He is forced to relay the experience over and over again. But he feels strongly that if other officers can hand a copy of his book over to family and friends and say, “Here, this is what I’m going through,” it could help strengthen relations. And that would make it worth the cost, he said.

Tall ceilings in family rooms are being eschewed in favor of smaller, more intimate spaces. ular 4-star hotels. But luxury bathrooms are being phased out in favor of less expensive, more practical options. * Outdoor kitchens: Although entertaining at home is one way to keep budgets in check, some homeowners have realized they don’t need a complete backyard kitchen with a pizza oven and brick fireplace in order to host guests. According to a survey from the National Association of Home Builders, outdoor kitchens are the second least-likely feature to be included in homes built in 2012. * Media rooms: Individuals certainly love their gadgets, but many of these gadgets have become smaller and more portable. That reduces the need for giant home theaters and gaming spaces.

While certain features are disappearing, there are others that are growing more and more popular. Dual sinks in kitchens, walk-in closets, extra storage areas, and hidden charging stations for devices are likely to show up more and more in new home designs.

The design of new homes is changing to be more budgetfriendly and also represent the changing priorities of home buyers. As a result, today’s newly designed homes will likely look much different from homes built just a few years ago.

There is no denying the profound impact that the recession has had on the real estate industry. For the last several years, the real estate market went from booming to one characterized by homes sitting on the market for months on end. New home sales also have been conservative, and builders are cutting back on some offerings that were once commonplace.

The National Association for Realtors says that, despite floundering sales, there are fewer foreclosed homes available now than in recent years.

Distressed homes -- foreclosures and short sales sold at deep discounts -- accounted for 25 percent of homes sales in May of 2012. That figure is down from 28 percent in April and 31 percent in May of 2011.

While home sales have increased, money is still tight in the building industry and among home buyers. As such, instead of over-the-top features in homes that were once becoming the norm, builders are now focusing on more value-conscious designs and offerings. The list of add-ons also has been reduced.

So what can buyers expect to live without when buying a newly constructed home?

Here are a few of the common features that are falling by the wayside. * Sunrooms: Although the “bring-the-outside-in” movement was once strong, builders are now focusing on home features that immediately add value and attract the eye of buyers. Therefore, they’re putting their resources into linen closets and laundry rooms while de-emphasizing sunrooms. * Extended ceiling heights: It can take a lot of energy to heat rooms with 15-foot ceilings. As a result, grandiose family rooms and two-story foyers are less attractive to buyers focused on saving money.

Homeowners want spaces that are easier to heat and cool. * Luxury bathrooms: Many private residence luxury bathrooms rival those found at pop-

EMC news – A pair of Ottawa researchers are taking an innovative approach to improving virus-based cancer therapy using new funding from the Canadian Cancer Society.

Doctors Jean-Simon Diallo of the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and Robert Korneluk of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario are each receiving $200,000 to help develop viruses that selectively target and kill cancer cells.

“I am extremely appreciative of the Canadian Cancer Society for having granted me this funding. I sure hope to demonstrate to them that it was money well spent,” said Diallo, who is studying the use of a specially-engineered virus to help it overcome a tumor’s defense mechanisms.

His goal is to find a way to make these viruses’ better cancer fighters.

“My research takes a virus that is normally not able to infect all tumors and makes it able, to all of a sudden infect a lot more different types of tumors, therefore making therapy more effective in a wider range of patients and tumors,” said Diallo.

Submitted

Dr. Jean-Simon Diallo began working with viruses in 2007 and he is currently researching ways a virus can fight cancer.

Clincal trials are already proving promising, he said.

“These viruses are used as cancer therapeutics because they are very selective and they grow in tumors, allow the viruses to direct destroy the tumors, and train people’s immune system to recognize cancers and attack cancers themselves.”

Diallo is one of 15 Ontario scientists to receive new fund-

ing for unique and creative research.

“This type of therapy can lead to very impressive responses and in some cases cures,” said Diallo.

According to a statement from the Cancer Society, Korneluk’s research will test whether the defense mechanisms that tumors use to protect themselves from viruses can be turned against them.

Fundraising campaign for community centre expansion begins Constance Bay library to triple in size Staff

A community association is gearing up for a fundraising campaign to help pay for a 418-square-metre addition

to the Constance Bay Community Centre.

The $2-million Project Sandhills will allow for expansion of the community centre, allowing the existing library to triple in size and provide additional space to deliver programs serving children, teens and seniors.

“The library is a key part of this project,” said West Carleton-March Coun. Eli ElChantiry. “The Constance Bay branch has had double-digit growth for many years now and it’s too small and too isolated.”

With construction scheduled to begin in 2013, the Constance

and Buckham’s Bay Community Association has a year to raise $633,000 of the $733,000 earmarked as its share of the $2-million project.

The project will only proceed if the community centre raises the necessary funds.

El-Chantiry has agreed to serve as honourary co-chair of

Project Sandhills, a partnership involved,” said El-Chantiry, a between the city’s parks, recre- past president of the commuation and cultural services de- nity association. “The compartment, the Ottawa Library munity association presented Board, the community asso- a compelling and comprehenciation and the Western Ottawa sive 35-page brief to staff.

Kids prepare for life at summer camp Desmond Devoy desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC news - For some kids, going to camp can feel like a prison sentence.

When the Christie Lake Boy’s Camp opened in 1922, however, the camp was seen as a deterrent to jail.

Now, 90 years later, and with girls allowed to attend too, the camp founded by Judge J.F. McKinley as a place to send boys who found themselves in trouble with the law, remains a haven for many city kids today.

The camp is located just west of Perth.

“We go out, we actively pursue them (kids and parents) to give them an experience they wouldn’t otherwise have,” said junior staff director Jordan Goodridge of the active pursuit model. “We try to make ourselves available to the campers, instead of them finding us.”

Goodridge has been working at the camp for several years and his enthusiasm for the project is clearly infectious.

His smile lights up McKnight Hall, the camp’s cafeteria, after a cookie-making class as some counsellors strike up a singalong.

“The number one thing we want to develop is social skills and hard skills,” he said, adding that the latter will help them in the workplace.

Not only do they learn about social interaction, but also

Many of the children at the camp are from Ottawa and their parents may not have the finances to be able to send their kids to camp.

“The majority of summer camps are geared towards the middle class and they have a cost attached to them,” said Goodridge. “Our cost can be absolutely free.”

“Financially it (regular camp) is a barrier,” said Marlene Quinton, the camp’s fundraising co-ordinator. “We work to remove those barriers.”

The camp benefits mainly kids, but parents as well.

The camp works with the Ottawa-based Skills Through

Activity and Recreation program.

“So many of these kids are so different,” said Goodridge.

“The staff notice these differences,” which she said can be exacerbated once a child is taken away from an urban environment and placed in a completely rural one.

Some campers take to it right away, while others struggle to adjust.

At a recent end-of-session banquet, Goodridge and several staffers were nearly in tears as a young girl with cerebral palsy, described how “she felt so welcome here. She could be herself here,” said Goodridge.

“Still thinking about it warms my heart,” said Goodridge.

He saw another youngster in

his care who “did a complete 180-degree turn,” during his time at the lake.

But the kids seldom have time to get homesick or ruminate on the differences.

Goodridge, a native of Mississauga, Ont., is a medical student at Queen’s University in Kingston, but he returns to the camp because of the kids.

“They keep coming back every year,” said Quinton. “They could be making money in some government office making big bucks.”

“My friends ask me, ‘Shouldn’t you be trying to make as much money as possible?’” admits Goodridge. “(But) I absolutely love it, which is why I am here again.

This place is magical. It changes lives.”

Ride the Rideau, Eastern Ontario’s most successful cancer fundraiser As a medical oncologist at The Ottawa Hospital, Dr. Neil Reaume has treated hundreds of cancer patients – and all of them have a story to tell.

“Every patient is different in their own way, and everyone has a story that’s touching,” said Reaume, who is also the director of the Hospital’s medical oncology training program.

But one story he heard during the inaugural Ride the Rideau event in 2010 – The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature fundraising event in support of cancer research at the Hospital – was particularly unforgettable.

While volunteering, he met a young woman from Montreal who was riding her dad’s bike – he had died one year to the day of the ride from colon cancer. She had found out about Ride the Rideau the week before, and raised $3,000 in just seven days.

“My jaw just dropped,” Reaume said. “I won’t forget that one.”

The 42-year-old Reaume enjoyed the event so much that he returned to Ride the Rideau last year, the event’s second, but this time as one of the 715 riders. Over two years, the event has raised a total of $2.7 million.

While cancer touches most people’s lives, Reaume is especially grateful for the incredible success of the event. Ride the Rideau funds the work that he is involved in as a researcher, which includes interna-

tional lung and kidney cancer studies, as well as other clinical trials. There are over 70 trials currently taking place at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, with thousands of patients taking part annually.

Reaume is thrilled that there are so many people out there who are just as passionate about the fight against cancer as he is.

Their enthusiasm, he said, is so inspiring that he has registered for the third annual event on Saturday, September 8.

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